After lying in his room, Han Xiao went to the royal kitchen to get some food to eat before going back to sleep. Although his cultivation level didn't drop during the day incident, he felt that his mind was greatly damaged, to the point that even after he had been unconscious for so many days, his head was still groggy without a trace of spirit.
The next morning, Han Xiao was awoken by the noise coming from outside, and upon hearing the palace maid's voice, Han Xiao's sleepiness was immediately driven away. He wanted to go out and see what was going on, but after thinking about how he was about to leave the Cloud Ming Dynasty, whatever happened had nothing to do with him.
"Ah, this kind of weather is indeed the most comfortable to bask in the sunlight." Han Xiao said lazily as he reclined on the flower tree. He squinted his eyes to look at the sun in the sky, and when he felt the glare of the sun's rays, he closed his eyes and touched the flourishing flower with his hands, revealing a carefree smile.
After lying down for a while, Han Xiao felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Han Xiangtian sat on the Dragon Throne in the middle of the hall, with two people dressed in plain clothes sitting at the front and bottom seats on the left. On the first seat on the left sat an old man who was about fifty years old, who wore a set of silvery-gray silk clothes, his hair was already white, and there were fine wrinkles on the corners of his eyes showing that he was no longer young.
To the right of the man sat a woman in a light blue brocade dress, her hair tied up in a emerald green hairpin. Her skin was fair, her eyebrows thick, her nose high, her mouth cherry red, her skin so white that it could be broken by the wind.
Opposite the two of them sat the Cloud War-King Han Yan Tian of the Yun Ming Dynasty and the third prince Han Zhao, who Han Xiangtian valued the most. Below them were the other princes and some ministers.
"Come, Miss Gu Xuan'er, let me toast you." Han Zhao raised the wine cup in his hand and said while looking at Gu Xuan'er with possessiveness in his eyes.
From the first moment he saw Gu Xuan'er, he had sworn that he would definitely have her. Although he had seen countless beauties before, none of them had such an elegant and refined temperament, like Gu Xuan'er, that he didn't want to forget.
Although he also knew that Gu Xuan'er's identity was very mysterious and she was an existence that was being roped over by various middle rank empires, he still had a lot of confidence in himself. He believed that he would definitely be able to win Gu Xuan'er's heart, and that way, not only would he be able to hug a beauty, but he would also be able to pull Gu Xuan'er and the Yun Ming Empire together.
When she saw the undisguised possessive Gu Xuan'er in Han Zhao's eyes, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes. Originally, she didn't want to drink this wine, but after seeing Gu Cheng's look, she furrowed her brows and finished the wine in her cup, directly placing it on the table and coldly said: "I've finished my wine. Yun Ming Emperor, I, feel a little unwell, so I will take my leave first." With that, Gu Xuan'er got up and walked out of the hall. Before leaving, she cast a cold glance at Han Zhao.
Seeing that Gu Xuan'er had suddenly left the banquet, anyone with eyes could tell that Gu Xuan'er had left because of Han Qian's goblet of wine, and thinking that Han Zhao had offended a guest of the Yun Ming Dynasty, the other princes' eyes revealed no first-rate mockery. In the past, Han Zhao had always relied on the fact that he was highly regarded by Han Xiangtian to humiliate them.
Han Zhao's expression also turned extremely ugly after Gu Xuan'er had left. He never thought that Gu Xuan'er would actually embarrass him in public. While angered, he secretly made the decision to get Gu Xuan'er.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere of the banquet, Gu Cheng helplessly said to Han Xiangtian who was on the dragon throne, "Emperor Yunming, Xuan'er has been spoiled since she was young, so don't mind her."
"It's alright, only now does Miss Gu Xuan'er's appearance appear genuine. Come, Mister Gu Cheng, let me toast you." Han Xiangtian laughed as he spoke, as if he didn't care about Gu Xuan'er's sudden departure.
Gu Cheng also raised his wine cup with a faint smile and finished the wine in it.
Gu Xuan'er wandered aimlessly around the palace after coming out of the reception hall, and when she thought of the way Han Zhao looked at her, a ball of anger rose up in her heart once again. If it wasn't for Gu Cheng saying that they couldn't easily make a move on her, she would have already killed Han Zhao and dug out Han Zhao's eyes so that he couldn't look at her like this.
As she walked along the path of the imperial palace, Gu Xuan'er looked at the surrounding palaces and all sorts of beautiful scenery, and as she walked, she suddenly saw a large purple colored light flower tree standing quietly in the middle of the garden. The blossoming light flower was like a huge umbrella covering the brown tree trunk, and the clear fragrance of flowers wafted out from the light flower.
Gu Xuan slowly walked in front of the Tree of Light and Spirit Flowers. She gently placed her hand on the Tree of Light and raised her head to see many purple flowers descending from the tree along with the wind. They were like a purple drizzle that was pleasing to the eyes, but also gave people a kind of sorrowful feeling.
Reaching out her hand to catch a Purple Light Spirit Flower, looking at the tiny lines on the petals, and the Purple Light Spirit Flower that was quietly falling on the ground, Gu Xuan'er could not help but think of her farewell with her parents when she left the house. Her tears quietly flowed down her eyes as she softly recited: "Purple Rain Rain, goodbye.
Han Xiao had been sleeping soundly when he heard the sad voice of a woman coming from below the tree. Opening his eyes, he saw a woman wearing a light blue brocade robe standing under the tree with a sentimental look on her face. The light purple light flower danced around her as if it were dancing for a woman, but it also seemed to be sad for a woman's sadness. For a moment, Han Xiao could only see the woman and the tears on her face.
"After another year of walking through the winter and spring, all living creatures will have their face blossomed. The spring wind loves the tender flowers, and it is a time to be careful and be afraid and worry." Thinking of the sadness in the woman's poem, Han Xiao couldn't help but recite.
Gu Xuan'er, who was originally standing under the tree, suddenly heard a male voice that instantly raised her guard. She raised her head and saw a handsome man in a thick blue linen robe jump down from the tree.
"Where did I get such a beautiful poem? So it was made by a lady. It is indeed very beautiful." Han Xiao looked at Gu Xuan'er and said with a faint smile.
"Beautiful? What did you say was beautiful? " Hearing Han Xiao's words, Gu Xuan'er asked.
"Flowers are beautiful, poems are beautiful, and young lady, you are the most beautiful." Han Xiao sincerely took two steps forward and stuck close to Gu Xuan'er's body. After saying this, his face revealed an expression of intoxication, "Miss, your body smells so good. Even the fragrance of the flowers in this garden cannot compare with the fragrance on your body."
Hearing Han Xiao's undisguised praise for her, Gu Xuan'er's face turned red. Then, as if she had thought of something, she sternly said, "Don't interrupt me. Who are you? And how long have you been peeking at me from a tree?"
I'm just a useless cripple in the Cloud Palace. As for peeking at you, young lady, I've been sleeping on a tree all this time and was awoken by the sound of a beautiful voice. If I were to say what I peek at, it would probably be young lady who peeked me to sleep," Han Xiao said playfully.
"You, rascal." Hearing Han Xiao say that he was secretly watching him sleep, Gu Xuan'er immediately felt her face turn even redder, and she fiercely glared at Han Xiao as she turned to leave. But just as she took two steps forward, she felt someone grab her by the arm, turning back to face Han Xiao's smiling face, she was stunned for a moment.
"Miss, although Luo Hua is pitiful, its fall is for the next year's better growth. Spring will always come after autumn, life is always like this, not to mention that Zi Qing Ling Flower Rain is so beautiful, so why don't you look at it with appreciation?" Han Xiao said with a faint smile.
Hearing Han Xiao's words, Gu Xuan'er was stunned. She did not think that Han Xiao had pulled her in order to stop being sad, but she thought that Han Xiao's poem about the "winter, spring, and the year after spring, the new born from all things" was referring to the rejuvenation of all things. Although she had left home to gain experience, she would still return home, and thinking this way, Gu Xuan'er's mood had become inexplicably better as she looked at Han Xiao and said with a brilliant smile, "Thank you, but you're very talented, to actually be able to write a poem to remind me of the revival of spring in such a short amount of time."
"I just like these things. If it were anything else, I wouldn't." Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said.
Seeing Han Xiao say this, Gu Xuan'er suddenly remembered her father's first couplet and said: "You don't have to be too modest, I have a couplet that no one has been able to match since the first one came out. Try it yourself."
"Alright, I'm willing to listen to the details." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Perturbed, I ask who is the master in this world?" Gu Xuan'er softly muttered.
"Who in the world is the master of this world? The meaning of this disturbance is worry, and the meaning of this disturbance is to say that there are worries in one's heart, and also confusion in one's heart. The reason is because I don't know, floating can be a simple process of moving up and down the water, and when this is matched with the world, it means that one is in charge or that one is in control of the world. " Han Xiao analyzed.
"You're very right, then can you match the second verse?" Gu Xuan'er asked.
Lowering his head to think for a moment, he once again lifted his head. Han Xiao's eyes were brimming with confidence as he said, "Although it's not that simple, but it can't be said to be absolute. And my second verse is clear and clear."
"Qingqing clearly knows that everything has its hands on the universe." Gently reading the second verse, Gu Xuan'er's eyes slowly became full of smiles, and her gaze towards Han Xiao did not turn hostile at all.
"My name is Gu Xuan'er, what's your name?" Gu Xuan'er asked.
"I am Han Xiao." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.
"You ?" Gu Xuan'er was just about to say something when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar. She frowned as she raised her head, seeing the five guards hurrying towards them.
When Han Xiao saw the guards, a cold look flashed past his eyes, and he regained his calm.
