However, in terms of presence, they were not inferior to professional actors at all.

Since Mr. Gu had given prior orders, everyone appeared extremely respectful.

"I heard a new courtyard was built ahead, let me take Your Majesty for a garden tour," Gu Xiaozhan stepped forward, slightly bent over, and extended his hand to support the Empress.

Look at our Mr. Gu, in order to please his wife, he has reduced himself to the level of a flattering courtier.

Mu Anhan suppressed the laughter in her heart, placing her delicate hand on his arm, "Very well, dear minister, take me to have a look."

The bodyguards: "..."

No one would have ever thought that Mr. Gu, who was always so superior and proud, could go to such lengths to please Mrs. Gu.

Look at our Mr. Gu, stooping and bowing, it left everyone wide-eyed.

It turns out that the high status of Mrs. Gu in the world is elevated by Mr. Gu himself.

"Your Majesty, see this garden, it was specially crafted for you," Gu Xiaozhan diligently played the role of a responsible minister.

Mu Anhan nodded, "Not bad! You shall be rewarded, dear minister!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Gu Xiaozhan was overjoyed at heart, thinking that now his wife was appeased, he wouldn’t have to sleep in the study anymore!

"Your Majesty must be tired, please have a seat and rest for a while." He assisted her to sit down.

He extended his hand to massage her calf, "Your Majesty, is this comfortable?"

"Is this how a courtier should speak so much?" Mu Anhan poked his forehead with her hand.

Gu Xiaozhan: "..."

The bodyguards following from a distance wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, holding it in with difficulty.

As they strolled leisurely, resting when tired, during breaks he would massage her legs and shoulders.

Upon reaching a mountain spring, he flatteringly said, "Your Majesty, I’ve heard that drinking this spring water makes one more beautiful."

He had someone fetch a pot of water, tasted it, and remarked, "Fresh and sweet, with a refreshing coolness, it’s truly delightful."

Mu Anhan took a sip, "Dear minister, your words are getting sweeter! Have you eaten honey?"

"Would Your Majesty like to see for yourself?" Without shame, Mr. Gu leaned his handsome face close to her.

Everyone stood far away, turning their backs to look off into the distance.

Mu Anhan pushed him away, "Don’t be impertinent! Is this how you speak in front of me?"

"Yes, I’m being impertinent! Your Majesty must be tired, let me carry you for a walk!" Gu Xiaozhan continued to coax her.

Mu Anhan looked around, "Where’s my dragon sedan? Why are you carrying me?"

"Her Majesty’s dragon sedan is undergoing repairs, I’ve already had someone urge them, for now, I’ll carry you," Gu Xiaozhan eloquently replied.

Mu Anhan was amused and laughed, "Is there only one dragon sedan in my palace?"

"This matter is extremely serious, I will thoroughly investigate," Gu Xiaozhan made a gesture as if to punish someone severely.

He carried Mu Anhan on his back, walking around, looking here and there.

When it was time for lunch, it was prepared in the style of a royal feast.

"Your Majesty, please taste and see how it is," Gu Xiaozhan stood by serving her.

Mu Anhan laughed, "Dear minister, you have had a long day, take a seat and join me for lunch."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Gu Xiaozhan sat down, helping her with the dishes, "Your Majesty, this dish has a long history..."

Mu Anhan watched him explain earnestly, and the originally dignified minister was pretty adorable with bowed head and humble demeanor.

She propped her chin on her hand and smiled, he couldn’t help but be entranced, leaning over to give her a kiss.
