Eternal Painter Swordsman
6. Engagement Cancellation

"It so happens that His Highness the Crown Prince has come, we have come here also to discuss your engagement. " Say Huang Lixin.

Jiu Rui stared at Huang Xinxin with a look of disbelief and suddenly felt an aura of intimidation.

Huang Xinxin had changed, her eyes were always bright when looking at him it had turned to be difficult to guess.

The word he said was also different, from the usual one always calling him "prospective husband" now it had turned so stiff.

His tone also changed, from that which was usually always full of enthusiasm and spoiled, to now being cold and showing strength.

"I heard from Mr. Huang yesterday announcing that Miss Huang has gone through a bad thing, but I see nothing wrong with Miss Huang. " Said Jiu Rui trying to stay calm.

"Thank you for the Crown Prince's concern, but Father said that His Majesty had no heart and asked a hundred monks to pray for me in every temple. I gained a miracle by recovering and standing here, I want to thank you for the great grace given by His Majesty. Earlier I was careless about falling and hitting my own head so I was seriously injured. " Huang Xinxin said with a calm and demanding word.

People said that Miss living the Huang Royal Family is a stupid and unlearned person, she can't even write her own name.

But, the words he put out today proved that everyone's words were wrong, everyone had misjudged them.

He was far above average, let alone incapable. This made Jiu Rui feel like her mind had turned complicated.

Why did Huang Xinxin who was supposed to be easy to deal with turn out to be so hard to guess ?

"It's not good to keep His Majesty waiting. " Say Huang Xinxin and walk in.

Huang Xinxin knelt down when she met Grand Emperor Jiu, along with Huang Lixin and Jiu Rui.

"May Your Majesty always be given prosperity and peace for thousands of years. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"I've heard about your miracle, the healer says that your breath is gone and your heartbeat has stopped, but seeing you so healthy here makes me stunned. " Said the Emperor.

"That's all thanks to the grace given by His Majesty, if I don't get this grace then I fear that I will truly be in the Yellow River at this time. " Huang Xinxin said humbly, not as usual.

(Yellow River, it is said in Chinese mythology that it is the River that delivers the soul of a deceased person to the realm of death)

"You're too humble, you've been considered my own daughter, how could I not be sad when I hear this news ? But, after seeing you alright, it seems that even Gods and Goddesses are not willing to see you off. " Said the Emperor.

"Your Majesty is overly complimentary, Xinxin doesn't have much to be proud of. Merely, Xinxin did not know what things Xinxin could give to avenge the favor given by His Majesty, so Xinxin drew overnight. This painting is not a good painting, but it is full of my intentions. " Huang Xinxin replied with a sweet smile.

His Majesty did ask for a grand ceremony to pray for Huang Xinxin's spirit and this could be used by Huang Xinxin to cover up the reason for his strange return life.

Huang Xinxin took out a paper scroll that was on his sleeves and came forward to give it to the Great Emperor.

Eunuchs took that and gave it to the Great Emperor, Huang Lixin did not dare to open her eyes out of fear.

But, insults did not come, even the word sarcas also did not appear from the lips of the Great Emperor.

"I've been weak in painting so for the past five years, I've been practicing silent day and night. I'm sorry if it's not good enough to satisfy Your Majesty, but I promise that I will definitely get better in the future. " Said Huang Xinxin while prostrating.

"It's a very beautiful and colorful painting, almost like I was looking at it in person. This soft lily really made me fixated, with bright sunlight and soft white clouds. It's really beautiful, I'll definitely put this on display. It's just, is this my illusion or am I really smelling the fragrance of lily flowers ?" Ask Emperor.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I gave the initiative to spray the water soaked together with Lily Flower overnight so as to provide a better experience. " Huang Xinxin replied.

Just when he was on his way home, he found a merchant selling lily flowers, seeing that the flowers had not sold any, thus making Huang Xinxin feel pity.

So he bought the merchant's flowers and took them home. Huang Lixin thought that it was a mere compliment, but when the Emperor turned his painting over for everyone to see.

It made Huang Lixin and Jiu Rui stunned, as it was a painting that looked very real and every color used was extremely bright.

It was in stark contrast to the painting he had made in the Shuiyun Hall which was filled with darkness. In the end, he was ready to shake up this world with two different identities.

It should be emphasized, that Huang Xinxin and Xia Mei were different people.

"I didn't think that you could paint so admirably, you are really my daughter ! I will definitely buy you a lot of painting equipment." Huang Lixin said with a sigh.

"I'm sorry, I've been practicing silent because I wanted to surprise Dad but it turns out that this happened and all this has happened. I'm sorry Dad. " Huang Xinxin replied in a dramatic tone.

While Jiu Rui who saw this felt that Huang Xinxin had completely changed, it was as if all he had seen was Huang Xinxin's mask.

Jiu Rui felt that Huang Xinxin had turned out to be more complicated and difficult to understand so she looked at the girl with an unpredictable gaze.

"Okay, well, since you have given such a precious gift and also to celebrate your resurrection then I will give you one wish, I will give you whatever you ask. " Emperor 'say, these are the words Huang Xinxin has been waiting for the most since.

"Your Majesty, I know that this is a presumptuous request, but I beg with all my forgiveness. Seeing from my ability, I am unfit to be the Crown Prince's wife, I plead for the annulment of the engagement. " Huang Xinxin replied with great decisiveness.
