After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 11: Becoming More and More Like an Emperor

"Guard Lin!"

Lin Fengmian had just paid the money when he heard a high-pitched, hoarse voice, filled with a cautious, ingratiating tone.

"Eunuch Jiang, is there something you need?" Lin Fengmian looked down on eunuchs, but who would dare not give face to the eunuchs around His Majesty? Of course, apart from Gan Luo, she didn't need to give face to anyone else.

"Guard Lin, you're too kind. I have something to say. May we meet at the restaurant across the street?"

Lin Fengmian naturally wouldn't refuse.

Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Yu exchanged many pleasantries before getting to the point: "Guard Lin is now a favorite of the Princess. I wonder if he'd be interested in earning some extra money? Don't worry, Guard Lin won't bear any risks."

Lin Fengmian was almost losing his patience when he finally understood Jiang Yu's meaning. He never expected that the Princess would be so kind to His Majesty, yet His Majesty was so wary of her.

"No need, I'm afraid I won't have enough appetite and won't be able to eat. If Eunuch Jiang has nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then slammed the water glass towards the door: "Pah, isn't it just a thing for pleasing women? It doesn't even give me any face!"

Martial arts practitioners have excellent hearing. Lin Fengmian heard it, but ignored it, as the princess was still waiting for him in the mansion.

In fact, Gan Luo was very busy. He held power, which made everyone flock to him, and at the same time, he had a lot of things to deal with.

Gan Luo was brilliant in everything except when it came to Zhao Wuji; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help his young brother secure the throne.

"The new training plan for the city guards has been completed. Your Highness, please take a look."

"Grand Tutor Zhao has been bribing people, and he'll probably be impeaching His Highness in court in a few days. Should we go and tie him up?"

Most of her subordinates were military officers, and their style of doing things was direct and simple. They admired only one person: her.

"No need, I want to see what kind of nonsense he can come up with."

Although Gan Yanling had his eye on the power she held, he wouldn't touch her if he wasn't stupid.

"I have finished calculating the accounts for this month. We have made two thousand taels of silver more than last month, all thanks to Your Highness's good sales. The latest styles have already been delivered. Please take some time to wear them out for a stroll."

The one who said this was Xu Zhang, her chief accountant. Gan Luo had put in a lot of effort to recruit him to her side.

So you think I'm just your tool?

Xu Zhang smiled and held the abacus: "Isn't all the money I earn yours?"

Gan Luo was unmoved by his flattery: "The extra money should be allocated to the military budget. In addition to weapons, the soldiers' stomachs must also be guaranteed. First, select a group of people to train with the new program. If it is successful, then it can be promoted."

These were all procedures he was familiar with from his previous life, but with five more years of experience, Gan Luo's solution this time was more mature.

"Alright, everyone, go downstairs. I'm tired."

Lin Fengmian waited outside until everyone else had left before coming in.

"Your Highness, all the fabric has been purchased. I ran into Eunuch Jiang, who serves His Majesty, on the way."

Gan Luo listened to his thoughts, and a playful smile almost overflowed from his eyes.

Gan Yanling was really impatient; her surroundings were certainly not clean: "I know, my younger brother is becoming more and more like an emperor. But why weren't you bribed?"

Because he was personally selected by the eldest princess from the Shadow Guard Camp, a Shadow Guard can only have one master in his lifetime, so even if the eldest princess no longer wants him, he cannot betray her.
