Wei Heyuan's lips twitched, and he slapped his underling's head hard again.
"What business is it of yours what I do!"
"Ouch!" Wang Youzhi covered his head with a pitiful expression and looked at Wei Heyuan with a mournful look.
Wei Heyuan: "..."
"Alright, stop pretending. I'm not that strong. What do you want to eat today? I'll make it."
"But it hurts even if you're not strong enough..." Wang Youzhi muttered to himself.
Wei Heyuan's eyes widened. Hey, this fat guy's temper is getting worse and worse.
"If you secretly curse me, believe me, I'll never give you any more special treatment again!"
"Hey, Brother Wei is the best! Brother Wei is so magnanimous, please forgive my rudeness," Wang Youzhi said in a fawning, high-pitched voice.
Wei Heyuan shuddered at the sound of his voice, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
"Alright, be normal. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
Wang Youzhi gave a fawning smile.
Although his family was wealthy, his parents were very strict with him. He loved to eat when he was young and couldn't control his appetite, so he became increasingly round. When children are young, it's okay for them to be a little chubby; it's considered cute and a blessing. But now, as he gets older, his horizontally expanded appearance has become ugly.
Therefore, his mother and father made a tough decision to help him lose weight. Not only did he eat mostly leafy greens that he didn't like at home, but when he went to the academy, his mother gave him very little pocket money, which was not enough for him to go out and eat and drink.
But where there's a will, there's a way. Wang Youzhi, hungry and craving food, found an opportunity: to go to his good brother, Brother Wei, and ask for a free meal and drinks.
"Brother Wei, Bai Xiang Lou has a new dish today called Golden Jade Sashimi. I heard it's made with the freshest seasonal sea bass. Hehe, Brother Wei, let's go try it."
"Alright, go eat. That's all you're good for. If you had this much ability to eat and drink while studying, your mother and the others wouldn't have to worry about you."
"hey-hey."
Wang Youzhi touched his head sheepishly.
Seeing his expression, Wei Heyuan could no longer remain angry.
He said in a slightly detached tone, "It really is very beautiful!"
"ah?"
Wang Youzhi was overjoyed to have Wei Ge agree to go to Tianxianglou to eat fish. He didn't hear what Wei Heyuan was saying, and a layer of doubt appeared on his chubby face.
"Brother Wei, what did you say?"
Wei Heyuan's face darkened when he saw that Wang Youzhi hadn't heard what he was saying at all.
"nothing."
"oh."
Wang Youzhi himself brought up the topic, but in the blink of an eye, he completely forgot about it.
When Wei Ge said it was nothing, he actually nodded as if nothing was wrong.
Wei Heyuan: "..."
Damn it, if you ever tell Fatty Wang the truth again, he's a dog.
—
This is the imperial palace.
The officials in the court, who had assumed that the young emperor would listen to their reports on state affairs as usual before leaving the court, were stunned by the voices they heard.
"Minister Lin Chaozong, please stay and chat with me for a while."
A cold, melodious sound, like the striking of jade, rang out. The tone was unreadable, but the sound was so exquisite that it was a feast for the ears that it seemed as if being mentioned by the emperor was the highest honor.
Never before has an emperor been so handsome, nor has any emperor possessed such a melodious voice.
It's as if the person sitting there is a god descended from heaven.
Seeing the incredibly handsome Emperor suddenly mention Lin Chaozong's name, all the officials couldn't help but look at Lin Chaozong with envy, jealousy, and all sorts of other gazes.
Everyone wanted to know what abilities this Vice Minister of Revenue, who was once raised by the Prime Minister's father, possessed that made the increasingly mysterious Emperor take notice of him.
But the lucky person who was named was also confused. His handsome face was filled with worship and bewilderment for the emperor. Lin Chaozong, who was suddenly nominated, was full of confusion, but his body had already subconsciously knelt down on the ground with excitement, bowing and thanking the emperor.
"Your humble servant obeys the decree and thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."
Looking at the silly look on the person below, and then at the envious and jealous looks in the eyes of the people around her, Qingyin's eyes revealed a hint of mischief.
There's not much going on in the court, it's getting boring. We need to find something to keep things interesting.
Qingyin's lips curled slightly, her eyes revealing interest.
She has the complete look of a seductive and alluring fox.
If the people below were to see His Majesty in this state, they would probably be stunned by His Majesty's beauty once again.
Wei Chengming caught a glimpse of the young emperor's face out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes flickered.
His Majesty's appearance is truly... becoming more and more unbelievable.
Can men be that handsome?
A sudden suspicion arose in Wei Heyuan's heart, but it quickly caught the attention of the butterfly earring, whose bright red ruby butterfly eyes flashed.
The confusion that had just arisen in Wei Heyuan's heart faded away. He subconsciously stopped thinking about the sudden thought that had just arisen and turned to another idea.
His Majesty seems calmer than before. The tyranny that once lingered in his eyes, which were strained by the loss of the late emperor's support, and the tension that had been suppressed within him, has vanished without a trace. What remains is a fleeting calmness and confidence in the face of anything.
It is a confident gaze that comes from one's own strength.
In Wei Chengming's view, that kind of temperament was even more charming than His Majesty's dazzling appearance.
Wei Chengming's heart began to race faster, and he subconsciously suppressed the unfamiliar thrill. With a calm expression, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the young Vice Minister of Revenue, who remained where he was, looking honored. Meanwhile, the other officials, who were not involved in the matter, could only leave the palace that housed the most powerful and beautiful man in the world.
