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

On the second day, Qi Mingze dealt with the affairs of Taishige as quickly as possible and went to meet up with Huo Le'an.

After nearly a month of his hard work, Taishi Pavilion has begun to take shape and all matters are proceeding in an orderly manner.

He was also officially appointed as Grand Historian by the Emperor.

Now that all the complicated departments were functioning normally, he, as the person in charge, felt a lot more relaxed.

[Host, I always feel that there is something wrong with the way Pei Xiangzhi looks at you.]

The system wondered how to express the indescribable feeling this person had when looking at the host.

[System, human nature.

He was the top scorer and I was the third place. In just two months, I was already ahead of him.

It's normal to feel a little awkward and resentful for a while.

Qi Mingze had encountered this kind of situation too many times in his previous life. It depends on whether this person can adjust himself.

The sense of superiority and the feeling of being inferior are the biggest causes of jealousy.

[It was all because of the emperor's inhumanity that Qi Mingze lost his chance of getting the first place in the imperial examination.]

Now he wants the host to clean up the mess for him, which is quite outrageous.]

The system felt that it was also dissatisfied. It had clearly risen to the position through its own strength, but it did not end up well. It felt sorry for the host and the original owner.

【System, can you show a little trust in someone like me?

Our Majesty is truly a man of broad mind and vision.]

Throughout China's 5,000-year history, only Qin Shi Huang had such courage.

He always felt that the First Emperor died too early. Otherwise, China would have stood at the top of the world.

The system couldn't help but click its tongue as it looked at the host lost in thought. It seemed to have mentioned something it shouldn't have mentioned.

Just when the system didn't know what to do, Huo Le'an came in a rosy glow.

"Little cousin."

Qi Mingze's thoughts returned in an instant, "Cousin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The system felt relieved, and next time it would definitely not talk about these sensitive topics again.

"No, I was just having fun and came out early."

Huo Le'an half-jokingly denied it, saying that it was very kind of his little cousin to take care of him even though he was so busy.

"My dear cousin, where is that shop?"

"There's one nearby. I've already discussed it with Shopkeeper He."

Since it is a business war, he will definitely open a similar shop next to Cui Mingruo's shop.

The quality is better than his, the price is cheaper than his, and the service is more thoughtful than his. As a customer, you can imagine what choice you will make.

"Then let's go quickly."

After walking a few steps, I came to a quaint and elegant shop. The shop was not open yet and there was not even a plaque hanging.

When Qi Mingze was seen, an elegant middle-aged man immediately came to greet him.

"Master Qi."

"Brother He, this is the cousin I mentioned in the letter."

"Hello, Young Master. Please come in." Manager He bowed and welcomed the two in.

Compared to the plain and simple outside, there is a different world inside.

There were dozens of human-shaped wooden stakes placed in the store, each with a piece of clothing on it.

Well, each piece of clothing has its own merits, the only thing they have in common is that they are all beautiful and unparalleled.

There are skirts embroidered with gorgeous hibiscus, and the embroiderer has inlaid pearls and gems into them.

Let flowers and jewelry cleverly combine into a wonderful picture.

If worn by a young woman, it would be so beautiful that it would be intoxicating.

There are elegant Luoshangs that look like Jiangnan ink paintings, with flexible lines and elegant artistic conception echoing each other.

Covered with a layer of outer shirt made of gauze, it truly embodies calmness, softness and restraint.

If an elegant and graceful woman puts it on, she will look so pure and ethereal, like an angel.

……

The most eye-catching thing is the peony skirt in the middle which is made of silk petals. The clusters and flowers of peonies look like real flowers, which are extremely gorgeous and domineering.

It truly makes people appreciate that only the peony is the true national beauty and that the capital city is full of charm when the flowers bloom.

There were also Hundred Butterfly Skirts, Moonlight Brocade Shirts, etc., which dazzled Huo Le'an and he was overwhelmed.

If his mother came, he would not be able to walk at all. He would never go home without buying all the clothes.

"Shopkeeper He, how much are these dresses?"

"We heard that Grand Princess Deyang will be attending the banquet, so we would like to ask her to be our spokesperson.

Wear the clothes and accessories we carefully prepared to warm up for the opening of our new store.

For this purpose, our boss specially invited Ye, the shopkeeper of the cosmetics shop, whose makeup techniques and aesthetics are the best here."

"This humble woman greets the Crown Prince and Master Qi."

A young and beautiful woman walked out from the inner room, followed by another woman who had not finished putting on makeup.

Huo Le'an felt a little shocked, how to put it.

The woman behind had half of her face plain, even ugly.

The other half of her face looked delicate and lovely, especially her eyes, which were a whole degree larger than the one without makeup, so bright and translucent that I felt pity for her.

What kind of monster is this! Huo Le'an almost screamed out loud, but he suppressed it out of respect for the woman.

"This is?"

"This is Ye Mei Niang, responsible for applying makeup and matching costumes. The person behind her is the presenter."

Manager He asked everyone to go to the back hall to learn about the details of the banquet and some specific information about the Grand Princess.

Ye Meiniang continued to put makeup on the woman, and then selected a simple and elegant butterfly dress from the ready-made clothes.

"Oh my God!" Huo Le'an, who was originally a little bored, was shocked when he saw the woman coming out.

If he had not seen the half face without makeup, who would have recognized that this delicate and charming girl was the woman just now.

If makeup is the finishing touch, then clothing is the perfect complement.

The delicate woman is graceful and elegant, and her shadowy figure is like a butterfly flapping its wings as if about to fly, but always staying put.

Comparing before and after, we can’t say they are exactly the same, but we can say they are completely unrelated!

"I wonder if the prince is satisfied with Mei Niang's work." Ye Mei Niang asked softly.

"Satisfied, absolutely satisfied. I'll bring my mother here tomorrow. Are you two free?"

"We will definitely prepare a bed to welcome you." Shopkeeper He and Ye Meiniang smiled at each other, and the boss's order was fulfilled.

Just as Huo Le'an was about to say goodbye, Qi Mingze suddenly spoke.

"Shopkeeper He, I see we have ready-made men's clothes in the shop. Why don't you ask Shopkeeper Ye to match a set for my cousin and then put on some makeup.

This way, when my cousin returns, he can talk to the Grand Princess about the endorsement."

Huo Le'an clapped his hands and said excitedly, "My little cousin is really thoughtful. This way I don't have to be tormented by my mother anymore."

Half an hour later, a dashing and elegant young man walked out from the inner room.

"How's it going, little cousin?"

Huo Le'an felt pretty good about himself, but he could only see a blurry figure in the bronze mirror, so he didn't ask the shopkeeper where the mirror was.

"Cousin, you should take a look yourself." Qi Mingze brought him to the glass mirror.

Huo Le'an was speechless and felt that his cognition had been constantly overturned in the past two days.

Yesterday’s food, today’s clothes and makeup, and this clearly visible “mirror”, all appeared suddenly as if they had fallen from the sky.

His thoughts began to wander. He realized that he looked like this, handsome and elegant.

Several people waited for Huo Le'an to come back to his senses as if nothing had happened.

Except for Qi Mingze, the producer, everyone else was shocked.

When they first saw the mirror, their postures were more exaggerated than that of the prince, which led to a lot of jokes, so no one should laugh at each other.

"Shopkeeper He, what is this? I'll buy it." Huo Le'an hadn't admired his own heroic appearance enough and wanted to go back to continue.

But his dream was destined to be shattered, because as soon as he returned home, his mother legally confiscated the magical mirror.

[How conceited!] The system complained, even running to the corner farthest away from Huo Le'an, as if knowing him was such a shameful thing.

"Since the prince likes it, I will give it to you as a gift, just as a way of making friends."

Shopkeeper He is very generous to his God of Wealth.

The boss said that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. These are just small things, and they will bring them huge benefits in the future.

The meeting ended with both the host and the guests having a great time. Qi Mingze knew that Huo Le'an was anxious to go back and "report the good news", so he politely declined his offer to see him off.

Seeing that it was still early, Qi Mingze prepared to go back to Taishi Pavilion to handle official business. He had only taken a few steps when he saw Jun Linyuan waiting for him not far away.

[Oh wow, look at that expression, host, what have you done again?] The system said with gloating satisfaction.

Sometimes the system also feels very contradictory. It is keen on watching the host being bullied by Yun Chengyuan, but it also dislikes some of Yun Chengyuan's excessive actions.

Is it a bit schizophrenic to want both, but is Tongzi mentally sound? The system looks puzzled!
