As Huxin secretly speculated about Gu Family Hong Ye, the deep and resonant voice of the Vast Emperor echoed from within the palace, tinged with a hint of disdain.
"What is that foolish Girl outside still doing standing there? Does she expect me to carry her in on a grand palanquin? Hmph!"
The Vast Emperor's voice clearly conveyed impatience and disdain towards Huxin, yet within that disdain seemed to lie an unspoken sense of helplessness.
Huxin blinked, somewhat unable to believe that such a tone could come from a ruler. No wonder the Vast Emperor forbade anyone from approaching this inner palace; was it for this reason? The Vast Emperor, who held absolute power over life and death in the Vast Continent, turned out to be someone well-versed in sarcasm and mockery in private.
Huxin couldn't help but focus her mind, stepping gracefully into the palace, moving lightly and calmly.
Inside the hall, under a clear glow, sat two individuals facing each other.
One was clad in bright yellow, the other in moon white.
When her gaze fell upon the figure in moon white, Huxin suddenly felt that the entire room was illuminated by this presence, as if it were the appearance of this moon white figure that brought forth all the brilliance around.
The owner of the moon white figure slowly raised her head, her transparent cold eyes resembling blue lotus petals, her exquisite features enchanting like dark lotuses. In an instant, everything felt ethereal, and time seemed to stand still.
Huxin quietly gazed at that moon white figure; she never expected that Gu Xuanhong would be so young.
In her scant memory of just one month, Gu Xuanhong's name had only appeared once. It was even less vivid than her impression of Liu Yuren.
Though Liu Yuren was far away at the Border Defense, his name was well-known throughout the court. In contrast, despite Gu Family Hong Ye's daily high-profile presence in the Central Plains, very few people truly understood him.
Only knowing that the Gu Family Hong Ye has a grand reputation, the Gu Family is as rich as a nation, and the reputation of the Gu Family is on par with that of the country, but when it comes to actually speaking about Gu Xuanhong himself, very few know anything about him in the Vast Continent.
Their gazes intertwined, and Gu Xuanhong's lips curved into a serene arc as he slightly nodded towards Huxin, his brows and eyes relaxing into a gentle smile, resembling a blooming white lotus, radiating light and filling his eyes with brilliance.
He was a man as tranquil as a lotus and as lively as a silver fox. It is feared that there are very few women in the world who could remain unmoved by his every frown and smile.
Huxin considered herself to have seen many handsome men, but the so-called flower boys of modern times were not even in the same league as Gu Xuanhong; it was an obvious distinction between clouds and mud.
"Huxin, have you had enough of looking?"
Just as Huxin was focused on her gaze, a voice filled with disdain and dissatisfaction broke through, deep and resonant, mixed with a hint of displeasure and a cold snort.
Huxin blinked her eyes and hurriedly withdrew her gaze. She wasn't infatuated; why had she been staring at Gu Xuanhong so unabashedly just now? This man possessed the purity of a white lotus yet had the cunning charm of a Nine-Tailed Silver Fox.
A complete embodiment of a seducer!
"Long live the Emperor! Master Hong, auspicious." Huxin carefully pondered her greeting before cautiously meeting the cold glare of the Vast Emperor.
It could be said that the Vast Emperor was once an extraordinarily handsome young man, and now that he was older, he had gained an air of mature masculinity. However, compared to the youthful beauty of Gu Xuanhong, the Vast Emperor could only match him in imposing dominance.
"Hmm." The Vast Emperor let out a cold grunt from his nose, acknowledging Huxin's words while still wearing an expression full of disdain towards her.
Huxin secretly raised her eyebrows; there were hardly any fragments of memory regarding this emperor from the past month. Looking at the Vast Emperor's demeanor, it didn't seem like he truly despised Huxin; rather, it appeared he had an attitude of disappointment akin to "not being able to turn iron into steel."
Seeing Huxin with her head down and silent, the Vast Emperor shot her a fierce glare and said in a deep voice,
"What are you still standing there for? Find a place for me to sit! Over these years, you’ve only grown taller without growing any brains! How many times have you been to Weiyang Palace? It’s only been a month since you last came, and you look so dazed and clueless! Truly, you are as uncarvable as rotten wood!"
After the Vast Emperor's scolding, Huxin felt utterly embarrassed. Especially when she caught a glimpse of Gu Xuanhong, that white lotus-like enchanting man, smiling at her without any scheming thoughts. Huxin felt even more awkward, wanting to slam a plate of snacks on the Vast Emperor's face just to make him stop talking for a moment.
Thinking of the snacks, she noticed the Vast Emperor lifting his chin, signaling her to look at the plate of abalone cake on the table.
Huxin was taken aback. Under Gu Xuanhong's gentle gaze, she lowered her head and approached their table, carefully bringing the snacks in front of the Vast Emperor.
Huxin understood that this meant the Vast Emperor wanted the plate of snacks since there were no palace maids to serve him in this inner hall; it was up to her to bring the snacks.
However, in the next moment, the Vast Emperor frowned and slammed his hand on the table, angrily shouting at Huxin,
"You foolish girl! You're truly as dumb as your grandmother!"
