Then, his gaze t Gu Shengyin’s sowhat displeased eyes.
Realizing that staring so openly at a noble lady was exceedingly impolite, Long Xiao lowered his gaze slightly.
"Her Highness the Eldest Princess’s divine beauty made lose my propriety. I humbly ask for Her Highness’s forgiveness."
Any woman, upon hearing praise of her appearance, would be delighted.
Especially when the complint cos from a remarkably handso man.
Sure enough, Gu Shengyin’s complexion slightly improved upon hearing this, although she still did not break into a smile.
She glanced at Long Xiao, walked over, and sat down by herself.
"Did you clearly hear what I just said?"
Long Xiao blinked and said, "The life-saving grace of Her Highness the Eldest Princess, I am deeply grateful."
Gu Shengyin laughed lightly after hearing this: "Is that all?"
Just a single thank you?
Does he truly think Gu Shengyin’s favor is so cheap?
Upon hearing her mocking laughter, Long Xiao showed no sha and instead looked earnestly at Gu Shengyin: "I am willing to repay your life-saving grace by offering myself in marriage!"
His words were truly powerful and sincere.
Gu Shengyin: "..."
How could there be such a shaless person in this world!
She saved his life, and now he wants her to tie herself to him?
Dream on.
She laughed derisively, gazing up and down at Long Xiao: "What’s your na?"
Long Xiao replied, "I am Xiao Xiao."
Gu Shengyin frowned: "That’s quite a mouthful."
Long Xiao felt helpless. He had instinctively given himself his maternal family na, never imagining it would sound so awkward.
However, Gu Shengyin did not dwell on this, saying instead: "All right, although your offering yourself seems not very valuable, I guess you have nothing better to offer as repaynt."
Before Long Xiao could react, Gu Shengyin said: "You can serve as a servant tending the peach flowers here in the Traveling Palace! You do have an appearance that pleases the eye."
Long Xiao was taken aback, not expecting that she interpreted offering himself in this way.
Thinking it over, staying in this Traveling Palace would indeed be the safest until he recovered.
Gu Shengyin brought him to the steward of the Traveling Palace and pointed at Long Xiao: "This person is Xiao Xiao, my newly bought servant. Have him serve my treasures from now on."
Treasures naturally referred to the peach flowers.
Long Xiao thought: Her Royal Highness the Princess’s love for peach flowers, truly unquestionable.
The steward glanced at Long Xiao, sowhat perplexed that soone with such remarkable deanor would beco a servant.
However, he dared not defy Her Highness the Eldest Princess’s orders and hastily accepted and took Long Xiao away.
Once their figures disappeared from sight, Gu Shengyin took out an oddly shaped small flute from her sleeve and put it close to her lips, gently blowing.
Though no sound was heard, a black-clad figure soon appeared on the ground.
"An Yi, pay respects to the master."
Gu Shengyin’s voice was icy: "During these days, keep a close watch on this Traveling Palace. Kill without rcy anyone showing suspicious behavior near it!"
The Leader of the Shadow Guards felt a chill, uncertain why the usually gentle Eldest Princess would suddenly issue such orders.
But the master’s affairs were not his to question; he only needed to fulfill her commands.
"Yes."
His figure flickered, and his presence vanished again.
Gu Shengyin pondered for a mont, laying the small flute against her lips again.
