Gu Xuanhong smiled gently, his voice as smooth as jade.
"Alright, I will take it."
"Haha! Take it away! This foolish girl is nothing special, just a rough and clumsy one! Always managing to annoy me! It would be best if Brother Xuanhong took her far away, out of my sight! Out of sight, out of mind!" The Vast Emperor rarely showed a smile tonight but still couldn't resist mocking Huxin.
Huxin had long since grown accustomed to the Vast Emperor's private jabs. She couldn't afford to confront him; after all, he was her future support. For now, she had to endure it, letting it go in one ear and out the other.
Seeing Huxin with her head lowered and a calm demeanor, Gu Xuanhong's smile deepened. In a tone of gentleness that even the Vast Emperor had never heard before, he said to Huxin,
"Let's go."
Huxin nodded quietly, just about to leave when the Vast Emperor's dissatisfied voice rang out again.
"Oh! Silly girl! You show me your face just because I said a few words? With Brother Xuanhong escorting you back, you act all high and mighty, not even bothering to say goodbye! Fine, fine! You've got guts! If anyone dares to lay a hand on you in the Imperial Garden again, I absolutely won't care! Not only will I not care, but I'll also celebrate for three days and nights! Hmph!"
The Vast Emperor snorted through his nose. This round of scolding left Huxin speechless. She wasn't throwing a tantrum; she was simply exhausted and hungry, barely able to lift her head. After all this fuss, she was only human!
"Your Majesty, I take my leave."
Gu Xuanhong ignored the Vast Emperor's furious expression and gestured for Huxin to go.
Huxin glanced at the Vast Emperor. He glared at her coldly and said, "What are you looking at me for? When it's time to leave, just leave! You silly girl, can't you even understand that?"
Huxin suddenly felt an impulse to dig up the ancestral grave of Vast Emperor! It is said that serving a ruler is like accompanying a tiger, and this saying is absolutely true! The hardest to serve in this world is the emperor!
Although Xia Huxin was used to being independent in modern times, no one among the Four Great Elders in her group ever spoke to her in such a tone! Now she truly felt like a tiger that had fallen into the plains and was being bullied by dogs!
Beside her, Gu Xuanhong watched her with her head down and remained silent, but a hint of subtle emotion flashed across his brows. The emotions in Gu Xuanhong's eyes were not as calm and deep as before; instead, they revealed an indescribable bright star-like glow.
……
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Huxin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
She looked up to meet the gazes of Qing Yan and Mo Chuan, who were looking at her with concern. The worry and tension reflected in their eyes warmed Huxin's heart; these two genuinely cared about her safety.
Seeing that Gu Xuanhong was also present, both stood properly in place, lowering their eyes and waiting for instructions.
"Get in the palanquin."
As soon as Gu Xuanhong finished speaking, a golden Enamel Crystal Palanquin appeared in front of Huxin, seemingly out of nowhere. She hadn't seen this palanquin when she entered the palace, but now it seemed to have descended from the heavens. Huxin thought that Gu Xuanhong treated the palace like his own backyard.
Looking up at the Palanquin, she noticed it was adorned with gold on the sides and topped with crystal enamel. It neither blocked the light nor trapped heat or cold. The crystal enamel could isolate all heat and cold from outside when exposed to sunlight, making the interior slightly cool, like spring all year round.
Huxin had only seen crystal enamel in the modern Forbidden City, and that piece was far smaller than this palanquin's top. She had long heard that Gu Xuanhong made grand and extravagant appearances; she always thought he would be more arrogant than Xuan Yuan Ling and colder than Jing Tian'ao. To her surprise, he turned out to be as gentle as a spring breeze, elegant like a white lotus, yet dynamic like a Nine-Tailed Silver Fox, captivating like a black lotus.
It was remarkable how perfectly these two qualities combined in him, seamless and flawless!
