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

Liu Liuliu was reprimanded by the emperor in person and slunk out of the imperial study.

As she walked along the palace path, she grew angrier and angrier, and the faster she walked, the soles of her boots almost sparking on the blue bricks.

What do you mean by "you're not allowed to cause trouble for Gu Mingli"?

She is a dignified commander of the western border. When did a civil official get the right to ride roughshod over her?

Despite her anger, she dared not openly disobey the emperor's orders.

After all, the emperor said that as long as she obeyed orders and followed commands for ten years, the reward would be to help her escape from the Liu family, and to give her freedom, respect, and the life she wanted.

Liu Liuliu returned to her bedroom, kicked open the door, and threw the bundle on her back onto the bed.

She called Gu Mingli "Your Majesty" for a long time, but that guy didn't refute or explain a single word!

Shameless! Unscrupulous! Incredibly audacious!

Liu Liu rubbed her face hard and let out a muffled wail.

How embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

but……

She lowered her hand and squinted at the palace walls and eaves outside the window, which appeared as a blur of color.

Although she couldn't see the details of the man's facial features clearly, she vaguely remembered that his outline was extremely graceful.

His tall and slender figure stood against the light, clean and neat, like a gentle breeze and a bright moon.

She also has a great voice.

Liu Liuli swallowed hard.

She is not reconciled.

She just wanted to see up close what the "most handsome man in the Great Yong Dynasty" really looked like.

The next morning.

Liu Liuli changed into a clean red outfit, tied her ponytail high, and tucked her usual black gold dagger into her waistband.

He did not bring a large army, but only two adjutants, and rode straight to the salt-making workshop of Pujitang.

She had already thought of a reason.

His Majesty told her to go and coordinate the security arrangements with the Inspector General of Taxation. The Inspector General of Taxation was located across from the logistics park, so she just went there to "take a look" on her way.

As for whether he might happen to pass by Gu Mingli at the salt-making workshop, that's a matter of fate.

However, Gu Mingli was not in the workshop today.

As Liu Liuliu dismounted, she saw a slender woman standing at the entrance of the workshop.

The woman wore a light pink silk skirt with an apricot-white sash tied around her waist, and held a round fan in her hand.

However, after observing the other party for a long time, Liu Liuliu could only make out their general color.

"Who are you? Where is Gu Mingli?"

Gu Mingyue looked up at the sound and sized up the general's wife who had barged in so swiftly.

"General Liu. I am Gu Mingyue, and Gu Mingli is my brother."

"Gu Mingyue?"

The Gu Dongjia that her father mentioned in his letter, the one who stirred up a bloody storm in the business world!

So young!

Curious, Liu Liu took two steps forward, shortening the distance between herself and Gu Mingyue.

After walking about two steps away, Gu Mingyue's features finally became somewhat clearer in Liu Liuliu's field of vision.

A fair and delicate face, beautiful almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose with a small, delicate tip, and slightly pursed lips.

Beautiful and composed.

"Well, she's not bad looking."

Liu Liuli muttered something and looked around again.

"Where's your brother?"

Gu Mingyue raised her chin slightly, her tone indifferent.

"My brother isn't here today. General Liu, if there's anything you need, just tell me."

Liu Liuliu pouted, somewhat disappointed.

She made a special detour here today, specifically to see the "most handsome man in the Great Yong Dynasty".

They came up empty-handed, only to encounter a businesswoman who was rumored to be "insatiable."

However, Liu Liuliu doesn't believe everything her father says.

Since we're here, we might as well do some preliminary research first.

She crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and scanned the color blocks in front of her up and down twice.

"Master Gu, I've long admired your name. I've heard that Pujitang has turned the business world of Kyoto upside down. I'm curious, what kind of business have you been involved in?"

That was said deliberately in a rather aggressive way.

Gu Mingyue wasn't angry; instead, she smiled.

Her brother spoke with the emperor last night.

Xiao Ye's original words were that although Liu Liuliu was rough around the edges, she had a sense of justice at heart and was a carefree and simple person who just wanted to roam the world.

If we can keep her in check, we can reduce the risks in the process of fighting against powerful figures.

Gu Mingyue smiled calmly and stepped aside to let the workshop door open.

"General Liu, you've come from afar, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

Liu Liu snorted and stepped over a threshold that didn't exist.

Upon entering the workshop's reception room, Gu Mingyue had tea served.

Liu Liu plopped down on the chair with a nonchalant air. One of his boots was propped up on the stool, making him look very manly.

She took the teacup and gulped down more than half of it, then wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

Gu Mingyue sat opposite her, quietly drinking her tea.

Liu Liuliu originally had a lot of gossip questions, but looking at this quiet and composed young girl, she didn't know where to start.

Gu Mingyue glanced up at Liu Liuliu's awkward, scratching-headed expression and put down her teacup with a smile.

"General Liu, do you sometimes have trouble seeing things?"

Liu Liuliu had a cold face, but her body stiffened slightly.

She turned her head away uncomfortably and took a sip of tea to cover it up.

"No, my eyesight is perfectly fine."

Gu Mingyue didn't expose her, she just smiled.

She had confirmed Liu Liuliu's problem after yesterday's farce at the workshop entrance.

General Liu's eyes are so small that one can barely make out his facial features up close, but when looking into the distance, one can only see blocks of color and outlines.

In modern times, this is called congenital high myopia. In ancient times, doctors would only say something like "a congenital eye disease" and then be at a loss for what to do.

Gu Mingyue got up and pulled out a small object wrapped in fine cotton cloth from behind the table.

"I have a quirky little item here, would you like to take a look?"

Liu Liuliu appeared aloof and disdainful.

"Hmph, what strange things haven't I seen? What... what is that thing of yours?"

She couldn't help but steal a glance.

Gu Mingyue chuckled softly.

He stepped forward and slowly unfolded the cotton cloth in front of Liu Liuliu.

A delicate object lay on the head of the cloth.

Two crystal lenses, polished to a high gloss, are set in a frame made of bent copper wire.

This was made by her brother last night using crystal material, and it was done urgently.

"Try wearing it."

"How...how do I wear it?"

Liu Liuliu stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was.

Gu Mingyue raised her hand and gently placed the copper wire frame on Liu Liuliu's nose, then hooked the hooks at both ends onto her ears.

Liu Liuliu instinctively tried to back away, but Gu Mingyue pressed her shoulder down.

"Don't move. Open your eyes and look."
