Huxin was being protected by Jing Yushan as they walked towards his Jingren Palace. Jing Yushan naturally held her hand, walking alongside her, his tall and upright figure casting a misty shadow beside her. He seemed concerned, yet there was a subtle distance.
"Huxin, it seems... we won't have the chance to return to the palace to change clothes!"
Just as Huxin was pondering how to deal with Jing Yushan, he suddenly stopped and pointed at a group of people chatting lively in the courtyard not far away.
Upon seeing the crowd in the garden ahead, Huxin felt overwhelmed.
She hadn't even dealt with Jing Yushan yet, and now this scene... just looking from afar made her head ache. The palace was never short of women. Huxin couldn't help but press her thin lips together; they were soft and rosy, yet at this moment, the eerie aura in her eyes made her pressed lips resemble two thin blades, exuding an indescribable chill and ruthlessness.
"Girl, Fourth Brother is also here! Hurry up." Jing Yushan's warm voice rang clearly in her ear. In the next moment, he naturally raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of hair behind Huxin's ear. This action immediately drew the attention of everyone in the courtyard towards Huxin like arrows aimed at a target.
Yet Jing Yushan seemed completely unaware, smiling contentedly at Huxin before removing his hand but still lightly supporting her shoulder as they walked toward the garden.
Huxin's gaze darkened slightly as countless looks of surprise, disdain, jealousy, and avoidance shot towards her. If Jing Yushan hadn't made that ambiguous gesture just now, perhaps the people in the garden wouldn't have noticed her.
Now that the arrow was on the string, Huxin could only follow Jing Yushan step by step into the courtyard.
The garden was filled with blooming flowers, each vying for attention. There were plump and slender figures, each with their own charm.
However, a dark golden figure uniquely suppressed all the vibrant colors around. The air released a powerful and wild aura belonging to this figure's master. Under its influence, there was an air of nobility and grandeur. Silently sitting in a grand chair was a tall figure exuding calmness and dominance, possessing an unparalleled pride.
No wonder... even the flowers in full bloom seemed to forget their competition, all captivated by his gaze.
Gazing intently, lost in thought, all that filled the mind was the presence of that dark golden figure, exuding unparalleled nobility.
"Isn't that Huxin the Girl? Quickly, call her in so I can have a look," said a regal-looking elderly lady beside the dark golden figure, waving her hand to beckon her personal maid to bring the two inside.
As Huxin approached, the expressions of several people seated in the courtyard changed dramatically; it would not be an exaggeration to say they turned pale.
At this moment, Huxin steeled herself and walked in. This sharp and warm elderly lady should be... the Grand Empress Dowager. Fortunately, it seemed that the owner of this body had met the Grand Empress Dowager, who doted on her deeply, just twenty-nine days ago.
The Grand Empress Dowager's keen gaze swept over Jing Yushan's hand. Jing Yushan calmly withdrew her hand, standing elegantly like a jade statue, remaining close to Huxin.
As soon as she stood still, all eyes turned towards Huxin, except for that dark golden figure, which remained unmoving. With a face somewhat similar to Jing Yushan, yet cold and distant, she did not even lift her eyelids to glance at Huxin, treating her as if she were invisible.
