What if it's a bit subversive?
Bai Susu was still in shock when Xiao Qingzi hurried in from outside, a look of panic on his face. He knelt down and said, "Master, the Emperor has arrived."
Before Bai Susu was ready to welcome him, Emperor Xuan Jing had already come in. He seemed to be walking, and walking very fast. When he arrived at Qixiang Palace, he was still slightly out of breath, and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead.
Everyone around knelt and saluted. Bai Susu stepped forward, bowed slightly, and then stood up, her eyes filled with worry: "What's wrong with the emperor? Why are you sweating so much?"
Judging from the emperor's tense expression, he must be in a bad mood at the moment.
Even Wang Fuhai was waiting nervously by the side, but Concubine Bai was able to talk to the emperor so freely.
These gentle words, which were so effective, seemed to bring the stagnant atmosphere around them to life.
Bai Susu grabbed the emperor's sleeve, led him into the warm room, and let him sit on the couch.
Nanchun was still stunned. Bai Susu said, "Go get a hot towel."
When Bai Susu was wiping the sweat off Emperor Xuan Jing with a hot towel, Wang Fuhai discovered that the emperor, who had been tense and stiff, gradually relaxed a lot.
He took the other servants away with a tactful look.
Suddenly, only Bai Susu and Emperor Xuan Jing were left in the warm room.
Bai Susu wiped her sweat and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. The country depends on you."
Her sleeves swayed slightly in front of Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes, and he could only see a part of her wrist that was as cold as jade.
He grasped that wrist and gave it a slight pull. Bai Susu was then pulled into Emperor Xuan Jing's arms, her soft and fragrant body tightly embraced. Only then did Emperor Xuan Jing feel the emptiness in his heart finally filled.
When her body was in the air, Bai Susu was panicked for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Bai Susu's voice was light and soft, and for the current Emperor Xuan Jing, it had a soothing power.
Emperor Xuan Jing didn't say anything. His head rested on Bai Susu's neck, silent.
He has always been a calm and almost indifferent person, but at this moment, Bai Susu knew that his emotions were not stable. She could even read the fragility of this emperor from this hug.
She recalled the scene when her mother coaxed her to sleep when she was young, and reached out her hand to gently pat Emperor Xuan Jing on the back, again and again: "Your Majesty, I will always be with you."
She may not be able to relieve Emperor Xuan Jing's pain, but she can tell him that she is always there.
Emperor Xuan Jing's body stiffened slightly, then he raised his head, and Bai Susu was caught off guard and fell into those dark and deep phoenix eyes.
Those eyes were so sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts.
Bai Susu was not afraid and went up to him frankly. The two looked at each other for a long time.
Then Emperor Xuan Jing chuckled.
Bai Susu felt relieved. She knew that the emperor's vulnerability could only be revealed for a moment. No matter whether his heart was still aching or not, he had already hidden it all and returned to his indifference.
Thinking of this, Bai Susu suddenly felt a little distressed.
When he saw the trace of heartache in Bai Susu's clear eyes, Emperor Xuan Jing felt his heart was touched. His throat was choked and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Bai Susu's eyebrows curved, her eyes sparkling. She tilted her head and said, "I have a gift for the emperor."
This abrupt proposal startled Emperor Xuan Jing, but it was precisely because of its abruptness that it freed Emperor Xuan Jing from the heavy mood that was about to drag him into the abyss.
Looking at Bai Susu's back as she was looking for something, Emperor Xuan Jing's heart suddenly calmed down.
He rubbed the ring on his right hand with his fingertips, and seemed to be looking forward to the gift Bai Susu mentioned.
_
Emperor Xuan Jing had never seen such a "unique" gift.
It lay quietly in Bai Susu's palm. It was small, and the material was obviously good. But what was embroidered on it?
"Is this... a brocade bag?" Emperor Xuan Jing spoke with difficulty.
While Emperor Xuan Jing was stunned, Bai Susu's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot. She had been working on this brocade bag for a long time, but her lack of skill and the scratches on her palms had greatly hampered her progress. In fact, it wasn't even finished yet; even the embroidery pattern on it was incomplete.
If Bai Susu didn't want to make Emperor Xuan Jing happy, she wouldn't have taken it out, humph.
She nodded and hummed softly, "This is the brocade bag I made for Your Majesty." She placed the brocade bag in the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, please don't think it's ugly. I pricked my fingers many times while making this, and it bled a lot."
Her voice was light and soft, with a hint of coquettishness.
Emperor Xuan Jing suddenly felt that the brocade bag in his hand weighed more than a thousand pounds.
However, when his eyes fell on the brocade bag, Emperor Xuan Jing couldn't help but feel a pain in his eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, the clothes he wore were all sewn by multiple embroiderers, without even a thread loose.
He had never seen such a rough sachet.
"What's embroidered on it?"
Bai Susu's face flushed red. She sighed and snatched the brocade bag back into her hand. Pointing at the pattern on it, she said, "Your Majesty, this is a dragon. Look, this is the dragon's head, and this is... the body."
"What about its claws?" Emperor Xuan Jing was already having a headache at this moment. Why did he have to discuss whether the dragon on the brocade bag had claws in the concubine's palace late at night?
If I stay with stupid people, will I become stupid myself?
Bai Susu had no idea what Emperor Xuan Jing was thinking at the moment. If she had known, she would have thrown the brocade bag in front of him, stomped her feet, and said, "You're the stupid one!"
