After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Jun Linyuan wanted to let the identity of His Majesty slowly invade Qi Mingze's life in a subtle way, laying the groundwork for a showdown later.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Qi Mingze was naturally wary of the rulers of the feudal dynasty.

Coupled with what someone did to the original owner, Qi Mingze positioned him as an unfathomable big boss who liked to exploit cheap labor.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Qi Mingze felt a little surprised.

The system looked at the delicious food with all its colors, aroma and flavor, and sighed without thinking.

[Host, I didn't expect the Emperor's tastes to be so similar to yours.]

He does not mean that.

Qi Mingze had long harbored doubts about certain things, and the system's interference made his thoughts even more divergent.

[Sometimes excessive coincidences become deliberate.]

[What? Does the host have someone close to the emperor? Otherwise, how could he know so much about your preferences?]

The system instantly became a conspiracy theory and prepared to go back and investigate thoroughly to find the undercover.

Then this and this, that and that.

[The emperor has always been deeply suspicious, so this incident is not surprising.]

Anyway, apart from his relationship with Jinrong, he doesn't have any hidden secrets.

With spies around, Your Majesty can entrust them with important tasks with peace of mind.

Jun Linyuan wanted to curry favor secretly to add some points to His Majesty's status, but he ended up making things worse.

Just as he was thinking about how to save the situation, Chu Dequan, who was standing next to him, saw the scene and immediately came out to "smooth things over."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There are errors with the West Lake Vegetarian Soup and Assorted Jade that you personally selected. I'm afraid they cannot be presented today."

【It turns out there are still two dishes left to do. 】

It is unknown whether Qi Mingze believed it or not, but the system breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't want to be worried and on guard all day long.

"What do those servants in the imperial kitchen do for food?"

Jun Linyuan made a lot of noise but little action before turning to look at Qi Mingze.

"Qi Qing, do you have any dishes you like? I will ask the imperial kitchen to make them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am not picky. I am already flattered by these dishes."

Qi Mingze complimented with a hint of tentativeness.

"Then Mr. Qi must praise Chengyuan a lot. After all, he has mentioned you to me many times.

Seeing his happy and contented expression, I want to choose a queen who will share my glory and disgrace."

Jun Linyuan, who was well prepared, acted jokingly.

But the profound meaning contained in these words is also quite sophisticated.

This showed that he had no habit of spying on court officials and dispelled Qi Mingze's suspicion.

It also establishes the image of Yun Chengyuan as a man who dotes on his wife, and implies that he is also a good man who keeps himself clean.

"Your Majesty will surely find a good match."

"I would like to thank Mr. Qi for your good words." You are my destiny.

Jun Linyuan glanced at him meaningfully and said nothing more.

They ate without talking and slept without speaking. The king and his minister had a meal that was beautiful and harmonious (for His Majesty) but soulless (for the child).

One had to be careful not to make any mistakes in front of the emperor, while the other had to endure and pretend to be unfamiliar. An inexplicable awkwardness flowed in the air.

After finally getting through the lunch, Qi Mingze stood up to say goodbye.

The trouble happened again, and Jun Linyuan interrupted Qi Mingze before he could say anything.

"I heard that Qi Qing is learning horse riding and archery, and Cheng Yuan was sent out by me today.

In order not to delay your learning progress, he once specifically requested me to find someone who is good at riding and shooting to teach you.

It just so happens that Qi Qing has entered the palace. Do you think I can be your temporary riding and archery instructor? "

"..." Qi Mingze looked delighted on the surface, but he was actually cursing in his heart.

Boss, can you please not pull out one of my sheep? Please let me go!

After repeated mental preparation, he put on his usual business smile and said, "It is my great honor to receive your guidance, Your Majesty."

In the unnoticed space of consciousness, a little kid with teardrop moles on the corners of his eyes was cursing and throwing left and right hooks at the air.

Extreme transition, the scene comes to the martial arts field of the palace

Qi Mingze changed into a set of riding clothes that belonged to someone unknown, and the size was suitable.

He just rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs a few times so as not to affect his movements.

"Wonderful, wonderful! Qi Qing looks handsome and radiant in this attire."

Jun Linyuan nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, his expression unable to conceal a hint of excitement and amazement.

Why didn't he think of trying this way of playing!

Chu Dequan looked at Lord Qi's ill-fitting clothes, then glanced at the king who was in high spirits, and felt so disgusted that he couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Isn't it just about letting Lord Qi wear the clothes you wore when you were young? Is there any need to be so excited?

The chief steward, who had never been moved by love, was completely unable to understand the excitement of the big-tailed wolf quietly circling his territory.

Jun Linyuan was so busy admiring his wife that he didn't notice the petrified expression on Qi Mingze's face at all.

At this time, Qi Mingze was secretly calculating which bow he could lift.

He pinched his white, tender, muscleless arms.

After comparing it with the exquisitely made, yet solid and heavy bows on the shelf, I couldn't help but back off.

[System, do you think it's too late for me to play dead now?] Qi Mingze said with a look of despair on his face.

[Huh? What happened?]

Xiaoshayi failed to catch the host's jumping thoughts at once.

However, the chief steward next to him noticed it. He seemed to remember something and whispered a few words to the young eunuch beside him.

[System, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to even lift these bows with one hand, let alone draw them.]

[Host, I think you can give it a try.]

You've been training with Yun Chengyuan for so long, you must have made tremendous progress. Maybe you can actually pull away.]

[That makes sense. How about I try it?]

[Yes, host, believe in yourself, you can do it! ]

Perhaps he was moved by the system's trust in him, even though he knew nothing about power.

Under the instigation, cough, delete, and "encouragement" of the system, Qi Mingze stretched out his "evil" hand to the seemingly lightest wooden bow.

Well, he overestimated his own abilities! As it turned out, he really couldn't lift it.

I adhere to the principle that as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

He put down the bow in his hand as if nothing had happened, turned around and started doing the warm-up exercises taught by Jinrong.

When the people around saw this scene, they all turned around and looked around tacitly.

His Majesty, on impulse, did not think about these things at all and kept the person in a fit of rage.

Now, I don’t know how this will end.

As expected of being the most popular figure of all time, Chu Dequan can truly think of what Your Majesty thinks and worry about what Your Majesty worries about.

He immediately approached Jun Linyuan and subtly took credit for his contribution, "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to the Shangwen Palace to borrow a bow."

"You are quite a flatterer." Jun Linyuan raised his eyebrows, looked at the wooden bow on the rack, and suddenly had an idea.

"It's all thanks to your Majesty's wise teaching."

Chu Dequan tactfully dismissed everyone else, leaving only himself and his young apprentice to serve here.

"Qi Qing, I will teach you archery."

Jun Linyuan picked up a plain wooden bow and walked to Qi Mingze's side.

That relaxed look made Qi Mingze wonder if he had chosen the wrong bow just now.

Of course, I still couldn't lift it.

He was careless after all! Qi Mingze looked innocent.

In the end, Jun Linyuan could only "helplessly" help his Qi Qing raise the bow, load the arrow, pull the string, and shoot in a hugging position, thus completing the first shot of his life.

He shot the target accurately, and the joy of hitting the target made him ignore the ambiguous posture between the two.

Someone also secretly took advantage of her a lot, touching her hands and hugging her waist were just appetizers.

Just as Jun Linyuan was about to take another step forward, a clear shout interrupted him.

"My little cousin, I heard that you entered the palace." Huo Le'an spoke before he appeared.

In a flash, two figures, one big and one small, ran quickly from the door and occupied both sides of Qi Mingze.

"Master Qi."

The little prince blinked his big eyes and looked at Qi Mingze longingly, and then received a happy pat on the head.

Jun Linyuan, who had no sense of existence, held his forehead helplessly.

Well, the shiny light bulbs have arrived, and there are two of them. His beautiful world of two people is ruined again!
