Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Reality World: The Prime Minister Doesn’t Want to Attend Court
[Boss, you’ve been in a daze for a long time, are you going to court or not? If you don’t go now, you’ll really be late. Didn’t you want to leave a good impression on the Empress? You’ve managed to not be late for several days in a row; being late now would ruin everything.] Jin Daban’s voice rang out, and you could faintly hear the urgency in his tone.
He chatted a lot with Sky Sea One last night and only then realized how difficult it was for Boss to pursue the Empress.
Because of this, he asked Sky Sea One many detailed questions, hoping to give Boss a reminder at a critical moment.
Who knew Boss woke up and just sat in front of the mirror, staring at the person in it, without anyone knowing what was going on.
"How’s Little Stone?" Yuee Huai stretched lazily and asked casually. He had already noticed a tiny bit of change in the Empress.
In the previous world, when the Empress was leaving, she reminded him that her harem was empty. In that world, he had promised that he would become the first and only one in the harem.
Thinking of this, he still felt a bit embarrassed and suddenly didn’t want to attend court.
Even though the Empress hadn’t figured out that he was the person in the small world yet, he still felt a bit ashamed.
If the Empress knew that person was him, the cool persona he’d built in Great Rong would collapse.
So before he truly won the Empress’s favor, he couldn’t break character or reveal himself; otherwise, the Empress might not like him.
She’d think he’s inconsistent, with two faces.
Jin: [Boss?]
Yuee Huai: "I don’t want to go to court."
Now, seeing the Empress, he remembers all those embarrassing things he said in the previous world and finds it hard to face himself.
Jin: [You’ll lose the Empress this way.]
Yuee Huai: "Feign illness."
He felt that going to court in this state would likely reveal him, and if the Empress started suspecting him, winning her genuine heart would be difficult.
[Boss, I feel like you’re chickening out.] Jin tentatively said, [Boss, Sky Sea One said that chasing a wife requires no shame.]
Yuee Huai rubbed his forehead: "I’ve long lost my shame. I’m afraid revealing myself too early will make the Empress think I’m scheming too much, and she’ll be wary of me. Great Rong and the small world are different; with so many outsiders and strategists, she won’t easily let down her guard. She can welcome countless talents, but may not necessarily accept someone by her side."
Jin half-understood: [So, feign illness today and skip court?]
Yuee Huai: "Hm."
He thought it wise to meet less until the Empress was truly moved, afraid he couldn’t help himself.
Because unknowingly, her existence had already filled his heart. Facing someone you like, how can you pretend to be calm? The Empress was quick-witted, she would definitely notice over time.
[Boss, Master Yin Yao wants to talk to you.]
"Connect it."
Yin Yao: "Bro, have you succeeded in all those small worlds?"
Yuee Huai: "Made some progress, the Empress treats me differently now, she’s started indulging me."
Tang Guo: "According to Jin, the Empress has always indulged talents, Big Bro, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
Yuee Huai proudly said: "You guys don’t understand, it’s different."
Yin Yao: "Anything else besides that? Have you held hands?"
Yuee Huai: "Of course."
Not just that...
Yuee Huai waited for them to ask more, but noticed Yin Yao and Tang Guo stopped communicating with him, leaving him puzzled.
