At the entrance of the White Tiger Kingdom's palace, a luxurious carriage hurriedly arrived. There were officers and soldiers in armor and holding spears in front and behind the carriage. There were dozens of men in black surrounding the carriage. However, regardless of the officers and soldiers in front of and behind the carriage, The people in black beside the carriage are all women.
The guards guarding the palace gate were surprised when they saw this posture. Who was sitting in this carriage? This posture can be compared with their emperor.
The carriage slowly stopped, and a woman in black next to the carriage immediately stepped forward and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Phoenix Queen, the White Tiger Kingdom's palace has arrived."
Hearing the sound, the car curtain was opened, and a man came out. The man was dressed in white, with picturesque features, and he was as handsome as a mortal.
Such a handsome man, almost as good as their White Tiger Kingdom's most handsome man, Prince Zhan.
After the man in white came out, he did not rush to get out of the carriage, but helped a woman out of the carriage. The woman wore a phoenix crown on her head and a lavender dress. Her whole body exuded a faint halo that made it impossible to look away.
This woman is so beautiful! More beautiful than any of their emperor's concubines.
As soon as the man helped the woman out of the carriage, Xuanyuan Lie arrived.
When the guards guarding the palace gate saw Xuanyuan Lie, they all knelt down and saluted, "See you, Your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Lie ignored the saluting guards, but looked at the man and woman not far ahead.
Is that Queen Suzaku? She was a very beautiful woman, but her appearance was secondary. The main reason was that her elegance and grace were beyond the comparison of ordinary women. No wonder his good friend was willing to give up his position as prince for her.
Xuanyuan Lie quickly walked up to Duanmuxue, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know that the Queen is coming to the White Tiger in person. It's really rude not to be able to greet her from afar."
Xuanyuan Lie's politeness made the tense expression on Duanmuxue's face relax a little. She glanced at Xuanyuan Lie with her dark purple eyes and said lightly, "The Lord is so polite."
The light voice is neither far nor near, making it difficult to hear the emotion.
Feeling Duanmuxue's alienation, Xuanyuan Lie had a rather embarrassed look on his face.
When he caught a glimpse of Huangfu Che next to Duanmuxue, Xuanyuan Lie cupped his hands again and said, "Brother Huangfu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so handsome and handsome!"
Huangfu Che also handed over his hand when he saw this, "Brother Xuanyuan, it's still the same as before!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the days when they talked and laughed together.
After the two exchanged a few words, Xuanyuan Lie looked at Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che and said, "Queen Suzaku and Brother Xuanyuan must be tired after traveling and traveling. Please go to the palace to rest as soon as possible!"
Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che nodded after hearing this. It was okay that they were tired, mainly because they wanted to see their daughter as soon as possible.
The guards guarding the palace gate were a little surprised when they heard Xuanyuan Lie's address. It turned out that they were Queen Suzaku and Queen Feng. No wonder the emperor wanted to welcome them in person.
The few people had just taken a few steps when they heard the rumble of horse hooves and chaotic footsteps behind them.
Turning around, everyone saw a luxurious car that was no inferior to Queen Suzaku's carriage, rushing towards the palace gate.
In a few breaths, the car arrived at the gate of the palace.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the man in black driving the carriage respectfully lifted the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, the palace has arrived."
"Yes." A majestic voice came from the carriage.
After a while, an old man in green clothes came out of the carriage. The old man's whole body exuded majesty, which made people feel awe unconsciously.
When they saw the old man, Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che immediately stepped forward and saluted, "My dear father, I see you."
Huangfu Cang raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded slightly to the two of them and said, "When did Che'er and the fifth daughter-in-law arrive?"
Upon hearing Huangfu Cang's question, Huangfu Che immediately said respectfully, "We just arrived."
Huangfu Che said and looked at his car over there.
Huangfu Cang followed Huangfu Che's gaze and nodded slightly.
Seeing Xuanyuan Lie standing next to Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che, he frowned slightly, "Are you the leader of the White Tiger Kingdom?"
The voice was full of majesty, and also carried a sense of coercion from a person who had been in power for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Lie immediately stepped forward, leaned slightly and said, "Yes, junior Xuanyuan Lie pays homage to the Lord of the Qinglong Kingdom."
The person who can make Queen Suzaku and Brother Xuanyuan be so respectful and call him "Father" must be the leader of Qinglong Kingdom.
Huangfu Cang nodded slightly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. The leader of the White Tiger Kingdom is quite knowledgeable about etiquette.
It turns out that this old man is the leader of the Qinglong Kingdom. No wonder their emperor would be so respectful to him and even give him the courtesy of a junior. I have heard about the reputation of the old leader of the Qinglong Kingdom for a long time, but now that I see him, he is really intimidating.
"Where is that kid?" There was obvious dissatisfaction and anger in the majestic voice.
When Xuanyuan Lie heard this, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. Judging from the attitude of the old Qinglong Emperor, he wanted to settle a score with that brat!
"Mo'er, he's at the palace. This junior will send someone to Prince Zhan's palace to call him over."
Xuanyuan Lie said, turned around and whispered to the guards behind him, "Hurry and go to Prince Zhan's Mansion. It is said that Prince War will enter the palace immediately."
"Yes." After hearing the order, the guard immediately took the order and left.
After Xuanyuan Lie told the guards, he turned to Huangfu Cang and said respectfully, "The king must be tired from the journey. Please go to the palace with this junior to rest first. The boy will be here soon."
Huangfu Cang nodded slightly, and there was tiredness on his face. The journey that was supposed to take half a month was shortened to two days. He hardly closed his eyes in these two days, he was indeed very tired.
Several people followed Xuanyuan Lie into the royal study room of the White Tiger Kingdom's palace.
Not long after I sat down, I heard the eunuch singing outside, "The Suzaku Princess has arrived."
As soon as the singing ended, several people saw the person they had longed to see.
"Xi'er..." Seeing that familiar figure, the three of them stood up together.
"Grandpa..." Seeing Huangfu Cang, Duan Muxi ran over and threw herself into Huangfu Cang's arms.
"Grandpa, Xi'er misses you so much." The voice is no longer cold, but has the sweetness and softness that a woman of this age should have, with a hint of coquettishness.
Looking at Duan Muxi who was like a kitten in his arms, the corners of Huangfu Cang's lips curled up, his eyes were full of doting, and his whole aura softened completely.
Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che twitched their mouths at the same time, the jealousy on their faces clearly visible. These two living people were ignored all their lives. Why could Xi'er never see them as long as his father was around
Xuanyuan Lie was also slightly surprised. Compared to Queen Suzaku and his good friend, this child seemed to be closer to the Lord of the Azure Dragon Kingdom. And the leader of the Qinglong Kingdom seems to be particularly doting on his granddaughter. Looking at his eyes that are so soft that you can almost shed tears, there is no trace of the majesty he had just outside. He is completely a loving grandfather.
Thinking about it, this is also the case. The head of the Qinglong Kingdom can pass on the title of crown prince of the Qinglong Kingdom to a granddaughter with a foreign surname, which shows how much he loves this child.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Cang gently tapped Duan Muxi's forehead and said dotingly, "You, you've lost yourself by proposing a kiss. What will happen if grandpa doesn't come?"
As Huangfu Cang spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Xuanyuan Lie beside him.
Duanmuxue and Huangfuche also turned to glare at Xuanyuan Lie after hearing this.
Facing the unkind looks of these people, Xuanyuan Lie lowered his head with a guilty conscience. I hope in my heart that my son will come soon.
Looking up at Huangfu Cang with a tired face, Duanmuxi felt heartbroken and guilty.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry."
She deliberately didn't notify her grandfather at first because she was afraid that he would be anxious. Unexpectedly, the news still reached Qinglong. The journey from Qinglong to Baihu takes more than ten days, but grandpa arrived in two days. Even if she didn't tell her about the hardship, she also knew.
"Silly boy, do you still need to talk to grandpa about this?"
Huangfu Cang was very relieved to know that this girl felt sorry for him.
Grandpa... Looking at the old man in front of her who loved her so much, Duanmu Xi was filled with self-blame, and tears flashed in her deep purple eyes. Grandpa is already in his sixties, and I deserve to be damned if I still let him worry so much.
While the two were talking, the eunuch's voice came again from outside the royal study, "Prince Zhan has arrived."
The first thing Xuanyuan Mo saw when he came in was Duan Muxi. Seeing that she seemed to be in someone's arms, he frowned and darkened his face.
Looking up at the man, he found that the man was also looking at him with a majestic expression. To be precise, he was glaring at him.
A glint flashed in the amber eyes. Who is this old man? Why is he so close to her and yet so hostile to him
In addition to the old man, Xuanyuan Mo also noticed two unkind glances and turned his head to look at the source of the gaze.
When he saw Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che, Xuanyuan Mo frowned slightly. These two people are so familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen them before.
After taking a closer look at their faces, it suddenly dawned on them that these two people should be her parents, and she looked very similar to them. Then the old man next to her should be her grandfather, the leader of Qinglong Kingdom. Unexpectedly, they came so quickly.
When Xuanyuan Lie saw Xuanyuan Mo coming, he immediately winked at him and said, "Mo'er, why don't you come and pay homage to your grandfather and your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo immediately stepped forward and leaned towards Huangfu Cang and said, "Meet my grandfather."
Huangfu Cang glanced at Xuanyuan Mo, flicked his sleeves and snorted, "I don't dare to take it."
Xuanyuan Mo stiffened when he heard this, and a dark color surged in his slightly drooped eyelids.
Seeing the two people getting into a quarrel after meeting, Duan Muxi felt very uncomfortable. Knowing that grandpa was planning to get married, he was angry with Axue. She had no choice but to hold Huangfu Cang's arm and say coquettishly, "Grandpa."
Listening to Duan Muxi's sweet and soft voice, Huangfu Cang's heart suddenly softened, and he could only wave to Xuanyuan Mo and said, "Okay, okay, no courtesy!"
Xuanyuan Mo looked up at Duan Muxi, leaned over slightly again and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Then he turned to Huangfu Che and Duanmuxue and said, "Greetings to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Duanmuxue glanced at Xuanyuan Mo and said nothing, but Huangfu Che raised his hand to Xuanyuan Mo and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law."
After seeing the ceremony, Xuanyuan Mo stood aside and looked straight at Duan Muxi with his amber eyes. For some reason, her shadow has been on his mind for the past two days. He tried desperately to restrain himself from coming to her and thinking about her, but at the moment he saw her, all his restraint collapsed. He missed her, crazily.
