Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

Gu Mingyue has always been decisive and efficient.

After assigning tasks to her brother, she immediately designed a Mid-Autumn Festival event plan.

Less than half an hour after leaving the newspaper office, she was already sitting in a side hall of the Prince Qi's mansion, facing Xiao Jue with a plan filled with densely written small characters.

Xiao Jue had just returned to the capital from Lingzhou less than half a day ago.

Still covered in dust from the journey, with unopened luggage piled on the corner of the table.

He sat at the tea table, holding a teacup in his hand, frowning as he looked at the piece of paper that Gu Mingyue handed him.

Master Gu came to assign him another task.

Instantly, I felt ten times more tired from the long journey.

"Kyoto Mid-Autumn Festival Carnival?"

"right."

Gu Mingyue carefully explained the business plan.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a lively time in Kyoto."

"Pujitang took the lead in uniting merchants and vendors from various wards in Kyoto to set up a night market on both sides of Suzaku Avenue."

She pulled over the map of Kyoto from the Control Yuan and pointed to a few locations on it.

"There are lantern riddles, ring toss games, snack stalls, and a large-scale 'Moonlit Stage' song and dance performance."

Xiao Jue listened, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Master Gu, Kyoto isn't safe these days."

Cui Yuan just died in the Ministry of Justice prison, and the matter of the poisonous insects has not yet been investigated.

Holding a large-scale citywide event at this time, ostensibly to celebrate the festival, actually brings together all the city's residents, which increases the risk.

Gu Mingyue knew about the King of Qi's concerns, but to save the capital, she needed to build up a large following through various activities.

Therefore, the only way to persuade the King of Qi was to use the most common and easy-to-understand language.

She cleared her throat, and her eyes suddenly became unfathomable.

"Your Highness, my brother has been observing the celestial phenomena at night recently, divining good or bad fortune."

Xiao Jue pinched the bridge of his nose, speechless, and said, "And then you received guidance from an immortal?"

"right."

Xiao Jue: "..."

Gu Mingyue didn't care whether Prince Qi believed it or not; Huang Jiaojiao would believe it anyway.

So she just talked nonsense with a straight face.

"The immortal said that things have been unsettled in the capital recently. But on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the more bustling the capital is, the more the soaring yang energy will be able to drive away all poisons and evil spirits."

Xiao Jue was slightly taken aback and stared at Gu Mingyue for a moment.

The words "Do I look like an idiot to you?" were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

After all, his elder brother might actually believe it.

"Okay," Xiao Jue readily agreed.

"I will go to the palace for the morning court tomorrow to personally consult His Majesty."

at the same time.

The backyard of the Dayong People's Daily.

Gu Mingli is experiencing the darkest and most humiliating moment since he transmigrated.

Before this, he naively thought that the "Snail Girl" mode given by the system was just a simple title.

It means to let him give silently without asking for anything in return.

But never imagined...

This damn system is a master of literal interpretation!

He actually... really... physically transformed into "the fairy godmother"!

"Young master, in the palace..."

Yi Shi pushed open the door and entered. After glancing at the table, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

A moment later, he couldn't help but back away in panic!

"Who are you?! Who are you?!"

Behind the desk sat a young woman who looked seven or eight parts like Gu Mingyue, but with a much taller frame.

The "girl" was wearing a very figure-hugging light purple narrow-sleeved short-sleeved shirt, with a dark gray half-sleeved top over it.

A delicate pea-green tassel ribbon was also tied around her waist.

The worst part is the hairstyle.

On his head sat atop a snail larger than his head, gleaming with a greenish-blue pearly sheen.

At this moment, the "Snail Fairy" was holding a rough wooden basin for washing clothes and staring at him with a lifeless, hopeless look.

Gu Mingli: ...

They were discovered before even entering the palace. Does that mean the mission failed?

"System, what should I do? Should I silence them or give me another helper?"

【system:……】

[Alright, this person is your helper now. No more helpers allowed!]

Gu Mingli was satisfied, and then said to Yi Shi:

"Ten, stop yelling. Pretend you didn't see anything today, keep it a secret, absolutely!"

Yi Shi stared wide-eyed, his lips trembling. He took two steps closer and looked Gu Mingli up and down.

"Father-in-law?! You...you have this kind of fetish?!"

Gu Mingli gritted his teeth, "No! I didn't!!"

He threw the wooden basin on the table, slumped into a chair, and looked up at the roof beams.

"It's just that things tend to change on the night of the full moon, which is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Where can he go to seek justice? He's desperate too!

He was just being nosy and curious about what kind of high-end feature this "Fairy Sister" mode was.

So I tried clicking "Enter Task".

As a result, with a "whoosh" of white light, he was forced to change his clothes and became this grotesque appearance!

What's even more infuriating is that a red countdown timer is prominently displayed on the system panel:

[Character status duration: one hour].

Therefore, when this damn system issued the task, it deliberately did not explain this rule about disguise!

Now he finally understands what it means to "complete the task in mode".

It turns out that you have to be in the "Snail Fairy" state, make clothes for the target by hand, and secretly send them to the palace in the middle of the night for the mission to count towards your progress; otherwise, it will be considered invalid.

Gu Mingli pinched the bridge of his nose and said to Yi Shi:

"Yishi, stand guard at the door and don't let anyone in. I'm going to start sewing."

"My reputation and honor depend entirely on you to protect them!"

"Sewing clothes? Are you going to give His Majesty another surprise?"

Gu Mingli was unable to refute.

"Ah, yes, yes, to give His Majesty a surprise."

Yi Shi covered his mouth and nodded excitedly, patting his chest to assure him:

"Yes, young master! You can rest assured! I'm always very tight-lipped."

"Aside from secretly telling Your Majesty about you secretly wearing women's clothing and a snail headdress, I absolutely, positively will not tell anyone else!"

Gu Mingli: "..."

Holy crap?! Can you even speak human language?!

What does "besides sending a note to His Majesty" even mean?!

Or maybe we should just kill Yi Shi outright!

A moment later, a series of flapping wings were heard, and a carrier pigeon took off from the newspaper office's backyard.

It traced a graceful arc across the sky and headed straight for the palace, seemingly familiar with the route.

"Damn it! Bring the carrier pigeon back to me!"

Gu Mingli's outstretched hand, which resembled Er Kang's, froze in mid-air.

Yi Shi chuckled and said, "Young master, you look quite good like this. Don't worry about His Majesty criticizing you for being undignified or lacking self-control."

Gu Mingli glared at him.

Am I trying to be undignified or indecent?!

Forget it, let's just destroy it.

He resignedly sat back down at the table and began studying how to cut and sew the fabric on it.

Yi Shi squatted at the door, guarding it with great diligence. He casually rested one hand on his knee and propped his chin up with the other.

She stared intently at Gu Mingli, her eyes unblinking, occasionally turning her head away, her lips pressed tightly together to suppress a laugh.

Gu Mingli pretended to be blind and angrily struggled with the cutting pattern in his hand.

Half an hour later, he put down the scissors in despair, covered his face with his hands, and fell backward.

No, it's too difficult.

We still need to get Xiao Ye's measurements first, otherwise it's all for nothing.

The next day.

Inside the Imperial Study.

As soon as Gu Mingli entered the palace, he saw Xiao Ye looking up at him with a meaningful smile.

Gu Mingli ground down his molars.

Laugh, laugh, laugh! You won't be able to laugh for long!

"Your Majesty, I have come to give you a lesson."

Gu Mingli walked to the dragon desk with a sinister grin.

He slammed a roll of paper onto the table with a "thud".

A moment later...

Xiao Ye could no longer laugh.

Gu Mingli brought several sets of test papers when he came to give him a lecture.

So for the rest of the time, Xiao Ye was forced into a mode of doing practice tests.

Gu Mingli's eyes, however, were completely free.

He ate grapes from the table while proctoring the exam.

His gaze swept back and forth over Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye suddenly looked up. "What are you looking at?"

Gu Mingli was startled and quickly covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

He held up a blueprint in a very serious manner, covering half of his face.

"Ahem, answer the questions properly."

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! I've been caught!

Spying like that is unacceptable; it's too perverted.

We need to change our strategy.
