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

Xiao Ye was forced to do two sets of practice papers in one morning.

Now, when I put down my pen, I just feel a buzzing in my head.

Their reverence for Lord Gu deepened.

Gu Mingli glanced outside the door and suddenly had an idea.

"Your Majesty, you've been busy all morning, why don't you go out for a walk and stretch your legs?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye slowly raised his head and cautiously sized him up.

Seeing Gu Mingli's eager and excited expression, one could tell that this man had some ulterior motive.

"……good."

Xiao Ye stretched his shoulders and neck, then stood up from the dragon throne.

The two walked out of the imperial study one after the other.

Liu An and Geng Zhi, being very perceptive, led several guards and followed at a distance of a dozen paces behind, not daring to disturb them.

Gu Mingli followed half a step behind Xiao Ye, his eyes never idle as he began to visually estimate the size.

Xiao Ye has practiced martial arts for many years, and his posture is extremely upright.

Even when wearing a wide and elaborate dragon robe, the hem of the robe swayed slightly as he walked, revealing the outline of his long legs.

Gu Mingli quickly glanced at the screen, his mind racing with calculations.

His stride was about two feet three inches, and his height was about five feet nine inches.

Subtracting the length of the head and neck, the proportion of the torso plus the long legs is approximately...

"Where are you taking me for a stroll?"

A deep voice suddenly rang out from in front of me.

"Well……"

Gu Mingli scratched his head. How would he know where to go for a stroll?

He just wanted Xiao Ye to stand up so he could see better.

but……

Gu Mingli looked down at the shadows of the two people at his feet, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

As an engineering student, he figured out how to measure the dimensions!

"Let's go over to the sundial; I'll tell you about its applications in mathematics!"

"it is good."

Xiao Ye had no objections.

Based on Yi Shi's report yesterday, he had probably guessed that Gu Mingli had received a new mission.

It's just that I can't say it because of the rules.

However, in order to prevent Gu Mingli from losing face again, and also to prevent him from dragging him down with him, he decided to take the shame with him.

Xiao Ye decided to quietly cooperate with Lord Gu to complete the new mission.

The group changed direction and went to the sundial.

The ground there was paved with light gray, high-quality square bricks, and the surface was smooth.

The sunlight poured down without any obstruction, making it perfect for casting clear shadows.

The two walked to the center of the passage.

Without saying a word, Gu Mingli squatted down and began to demonstrate the principle of a sundial on the ground.

He used his fingers to trace the angles of the void between the bricks, while eloquently explaining the correspondence between the solar altitude angle, the equatorial sundial, and the time scale.

Xiao Ye stood to the side, head slightly bowed, listening quietly.

It's giving me a terrible headache.

He spent the whole morning working on a physics test, and now he has to come out and listen to math lessons in the sun.

There are a lot of memorials piled up today, but I haven't given any approval yet.

I've had enough!

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Mingli was still on a mission, he would have already dragged him back to the Imperial Study.

Sunlight shone on the two people, casting clear silhouettes on the ground.

Gu Mingli glanced sideways, guessed the right angle, and suddenly looked up.

"Your Majesty, please move over a little. Yes, just half a step to the left. Yes, yes, just stay in that spot!"

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, puzzled, but still obediently moved two steps to the side.

Gu Mingli's gaze instantly fell on the shadow at Xiao Ye's feet.

perfect!

The width of the shadow cast by the shoulder contours, the indentation of the shadow when the fabric narrows at the waist, and the astonishing length of those incredibly long legs projected onto the light gray bricks.

Gu Mingli's mind began to race.

It is probably around 1-3 PM now, and the sun's altitude angle is about 62 degrees.

According to the principle of trigonometric functions, the ratio between the shadow and the actual object is tan(62°), which is approximately equal to 1.88.

In other words, the length of the shadow is approximately equal to the actual height of the object divided by 1.88.

Conversely, by measuring the width and length of each part of the shadow and multiplying it by this correction factor, we can solve the problem.

That way, the exact dimensions of the body beneath Xiao Ye's clothes can be accurately reproduced!

Gu Mingli was still rambling on about the principles of a sundial, but his fingers had already swiftly marked three crucial points on the floor tiles:

The shadow's shoulder width at both ends, the shadow's waistline at both ends, and the total length from the top of the head to the toes.

Once all this is done, the mission is accomplished!

He stood up and patted the dust off his hands with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, that's roughly how the sundial works. Please go back and continue reviewing the memorials."

Xiao Ye raised a slight brow and let out a soft scoff.

"Are you done talking?"

"I'm done talking."

Gu Mingli's back stiffened slightly, and he gave an awkward laugh.

He called Huang Jiaojiao out for a stroll, but the content he spoke was very perfunctory, giving the impression that he was just going through the motions and would discard her afterward.

Huang Jiaojiao is so smart, how could she not know what he was thinking?

He was just wondering if he should add any other explanations.

Xiao Ye nodded slightly, but did not press the matter further.

"I still have a bunch of memorials to review. Since you want to wander around some more, then go ahead and take your time."

After saying that, he turned around decisively and fled towards the Imperial Study.

Gu Mingli was pleasantly surprised and quickly bowed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ye is so savvy now!

Such perfect teamwork is simply divine!

Gu Mingli wanted nothing more than to applaud Xiao Ye.

However, business is more important.

Now that everyone has left, he needs to quickly calculate his body measurements.

Gu Mingli deftly pulled out a measuring tape from his sleeve, squatted down on the floor tiles, and began frantically measuring and calculating the marks he had just left.

Trigonometric function calculations begin.

A moment later, Gu Mingli looked at the data on the paper and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

With shoulders 1.9 feet wide, a waist 2.3 feet, and that incredible stride I just observed...

Good heavens, those are the legendary perfect proportions of an international male model!

envious.

Gu Mingli put away the measuring tape, paper, and pen, and went home satisfied to work on his garment-making project.

……

at the same time.

Gu Mingyue's meticulously crafted "Mid-Autumn Festival Carnival" business plan was also approved without any problems.

In Xiao Ye's own words, "The arrangements presented by Master Gu must have been carefully considered. Just let her do it."

The siblings in the Gu family were so eager to do this that they must have discussed it in private.

It's probably also related to Gu Mingli's "Immortal Mission".

Since his elder brother had spoken, Xiao Jue naturally complied.

As a result, the entire city of Kyoto was filled with a restless and excited atmosphere for the next few days.

Nowadays, everyone in the capital, from high-ranking officials to ordinary peddlers, knows that any event organized by Pujitang is very profitable.

Anyone who doesn't keep up is a fool!

In no time, merchants throughout the capital accepted Pujitang's invitation.

The people had just experienced a grain price crisis, and now that the most powerful clan had fallen, everyone had hope for the future.

Everyone was overjoyed and excited, eager to find an excuse to celebrate.

Now that people hear that Kyoto is going to hold a large-scale festival, everyone in the streets and alleys is immediately busy making preparations.

The lights were hung earlier than in previous years, and the stalls were set up more densely than in previous years. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole city was already as lively as during the Spring Festival.
