Luan Jia slowly stopped in front of Longxing Palace.
Duanmuxue glanced at the nervous Huangfu Che, patted his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, father will forgive us."
Which parent doesn't love his child? He is also looking forward to his return!
Huangfu Che felt relieved when he heard Duanmuxue's comfort. She took Duanmuxue and got out of the carriage together.
Seeing everything familiar in front of him, Huangfu Che's eyes turned red again. He is back, after sixteen years of absence, he finally returns to this place where he has countless memories and carries his countless longings.
Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo also got off the carriage when the carriage stopped.
Duanmu Xi looked around and found that the palace of Qinglong Kingdom was different from their palace of Suzaku Kingdom. Although they are also majestic and magnificent. However, the palace of Qinglong Kingdom is full of solemnity and solemnity, while the palace of Suzaku Kingdom gives people a warm and unrestrained feeling.
Another obvious difference is the green dragon that can be seen everywhere. The two green dragons on the cornices carved from sandalwood are vivid and seem to want to fly into the sky. The giant red pillars made of golden nanmu are all carved with lifelike blue dragons that are swirling and circling, which is particularly spectacular. Even the golden glazed tile roof has a giant cyan dragon hovering around it.
There is no blue dragon in the Imperial Palace of the Suzaku Kingdom. There are Suzaku beasts in different postures everywhere.
Duanmuxi raised his head and glanced at the main hall in front of him. The carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent. The four corners of the main hall are raised up high. If you look closely, they are all shaped like green dragons. It is really majestic. On the top of the red and vermilion-lacquered gate hangs a black gold-threaded nanmu plaque with three big characters "Dragon Walking Hall" in flying phoenixes.
"Xuan, Queen Suzaku, the fifth prince has an audience."
As the eunuch sang loudly, Duanmuxue and his party entered the Dragon Hall together.
The interior of the palace is also magnificent and quite luxurious. There is a huge pearl hanging on the cloud top in the palace, shining like a bright moon.
Duanmuxi raised his head and glanced at the emperor in dragon robes at the end of the hall. He was probably in his fifties. Because he was a little far away, he couldn't see his appearance very clearly. He only felt that he was very majestic.
Sitting under the emperor were two women in palace attire. They must be concubines, and their appearance was also unclear.
As Duan Muxi walked, he kept glancing in both directions with his peripheral vision. There were not many people in the hall. There were men and women, old and young. They should all be princes and grandsons. Because she spotted a few familiar figures, Huangfu Yu, Prince Ning and Princess Jiayi.
While Duan Muxi looked at these people, these people were also observing them. But most of their eyes stayed on Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che who were walking in front. Some were excited, some were jealous, some were happy, and some were ignorant.
But at this time, Huangfu Che only had eyes for Huangfu Cang on the high seat.
Huangfu Cang's eyes instantly filled with mist when he saw Huangfu Che, but there was no expression on his face.
Huangfu Che looked at his father, who was originally so handsome, but now his temples had become gray. My heart felt sour and I couldn't bear it any longer, and a line of hot tears fell down my face.
"Father." As soon as he lifted his robe, he knelt straight down.
Hearing the long-lost voice of "Father", Huangfucang's expressionless face finally showed a look of emotion.
When Duanmuxue saw Huangfu Che like this, she felt mixed emotions, including heartache, love, guilt, self-blame, and emotion.
Looking up at Huangfu Cang who was sitting on the dragon throne, Duanmuxue put her left hand on her chest, leaned over slightly, and gave Huangfu Cang a junior salute, "Greetings to the Lord of the Qinglong Kingdom."
Huangfu Cang glanced at Duanmuxue, raised his hand and made a gesture of support, "Queen Suzaku, there is no need to be polite."
After saying that, he said to the eunuch beside him: "Come on, give me a seat."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch immediately moved a chair and placed it behind Duanmuxue, but Duanmuxue did not move and still stood beside Huangfu Che.
She was visiting Huangfu Cang as the queen. She couldn't kneel, but she didn't want to sit and watch him kneeling there. She wanted to stay with him, even if he was kneeling and she was standing.
Huangfu Cang frowned as he looked at Duanmuxue who refused to sit down. This woman has the same status as him, but she is also his daughter-in-law.
At first he hated her because she kidnapped his beloved son. Later, various rumors gradually spread from the Suzaku Kingdom, and he was grateful to her because she was really good to his son.
As an emperor, he knows best the necessity of being an emperor. How many people yearn for a lifetime of two people, but it is not what an emperor should do. But she did it for Che'er.
Looking at Huangfu Che who was still kneeling on the ground again, Huangfu Cang sighed softly and said, "Get up, stop kneeling."
After all, he was his most beloved child, and he couldn't bear to keep him kneeling like this.
After hearing this, Huangfu Che looked up again at Huangfu Cang above, and saw that he really sincerely asked him to get up. Then a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, father."
After Huangfu Che stood up, he seemed to have thought of something, then turned around and looked at Duanmu Xi behind him and said, "Xier, come and pay homage to your grandfather."
Duanmu Xi could not hear Huangfu Che's words at this moment. At this moment, her heart, eyes, and ears were filled with that familiar face.
"Xi'er?" Huangfu Che felt something was wrong with Duanmu Xi and called softly again.
Duanmuxue also noticed Duanmuxi's abnormality and called out in a low voice: "Xi'er..."
Only Xuanyuan Mo said nothing and did nothing. In fact, he had already discovered that something was wrong with Duanmu Xi, but it shouldn't be a bad thing, because he could feel infinite joy from her. And her abnormality should be related to the person above.
Duanmuxi stared blankly at Huangfu Cang on the dragon chair, unable to hear any sounds around him. She could see nothing except that familiar figure. She couldn't help but walk towards the person she had missed for five years.
"Xi'er..." Seeing Duanmu Xi's lost look, Huangfu Che reached out to hold her, but Xuanyuan Mo stopped him.
Seeing Xuanyuan Mo shaking his head at him, Huangfu Che slowly put down his hand, but still looked at Duan Muxi with a worried look.
When Huangfu Cang saw Duan Muxi's face clearly, he immediately stood up excitedly. That way he was many times more excited than when he saw Huangfu Che.
Not only Huangfu Cang, but also the two elderly concubines and princes beside him looked at Duan Muxi in shock.
The princes and grandsons below all looked at Duan Muxi and Huangfu Cang in confusion, wondering what they were excited about
Only King Xuan looked at Duanmu Xi's beautiful face and murmured: "Mother."
Prince Xuan's voice was very soft, but Princess Xuan beside him heard it. She turned to look at Duan Muxi, who was still walking towards the dragon throne, with a flash of doubt in her beautiful eyes.
Soon Duanmu Xi walked up the jade steps. Looking at the excited emperor, no one in the palace dared to step forward to stop Duan Muxi.
Duanmu Xi threw herself into Huangfu Cang's arms, "Grandpa, Xi'er misses you so much."
Duanmuxi shed tears as she spoke. Five years later, she finally saw her grandfather again, her only relative in modern times.
Huangfu Cang stood there blankly, not daring to move. Maybe he was afraid, afraid of disturbing the person in his arms, afraid that all this was a fantasy, afraid that it would all turn into nothing if he touched it. He just murmured: "Qingwan..."
Looking at the weird scene above, Huangfu Che and Duan Muxue looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
It must be the first time for Xi'er to see his father, so how could he be so excited? Father was also weird when he saw Xi'er. Did they meet before
Xi'er's behavior is too strange. I must ask her what's going on later.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi who was crying and felt slightly distressed. But he knew she was happy, these were tears of joy.
After a long time, Duanmu Xi slowly withdrew from Huangfu Cang's arms. Looking at the strange Huangfu Cang, Duan Muxi blinked his deep purple eyes and called softly: "Grandpa?"
Seeing Duan Muxi's deep purple eyes, Huangfu Cang suddenly woke up.
Purple eyes, no, not his Qingwan.
A wry smile appeared on his lips. He was too delusional. Qingwan had been dead for more than 20 years, so how could she still appear in front of him
Huangfu Cang gently touched Duan Muxi's face and murmured: "It looks like... so much like Qingwan."
Except for those purple eyes, everything else looks like Qingwan. Looking at her is like seeing the Qingwan of girlhood.
"Your name is Xi'er, are you Lao Wu's daughter?"
Duanmuxi was slightly stunned when he heard this. Grandpa doesn’t know her, so she must be Grandpa’s previous life! Feeling a little disappointed, he suppressed his emotions, looked at Huangfu Cang and nodded, "Yes, my name is Duan Muxi."
When he heard the word "Duanmu", Huangfu Cang felt that he didn't like it. "Why is the surname Duanmu? It should be Huangfu!"
She looks so much like Qingwan, why should her surname be Huangfu
Duanmuxue couldn't help but feel her lips twitching when she heard this. How could the princess of the Suzaku Kingdom be named Huangfu!
Duanmu Xi also twitched the corner of her mouth. Her surname was Duanmu, but her surname was not his. In modern times, wasn't he called Duanmu Cang? He rolled his purple eyes and said to Huangfu Cang, "Whether your surname is Huangfu or Duanmu, Xi'er is your granddaughter."
Huangfu Cang patted the back of Duanmu Xi's hand and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, that's good! No matter what, she is my good granddaughter and the blood of our Huangfu family."
It would be great if this child grew up in Qinglong Country.
"De'an, please pass on my decree. I will hold a grand banquet tonight to welcome Queen Suzaku and Lao Wu. Of course, the most important thing is to welcome my good granddaughter." Huangfu Cang looked at Duan Muxi lovingly and nodded. He ordered the prince without replying.
Duanmu Xi felt warm in his heart when he heard this. Sure enough, no matter in the past life or in this life, her grandfather was the person who loved her the most.
Seeing that Duanmucang loves Duanmuxi so much, Huangfu Che and Duanmuxue are happiest.
Of course there are those who are happy, and there are those who are unhappy. The two concubines beside Huangfu Cang were not happy, and they all stared at Duan Muxi with resentment. The princes and grandsons were not happy either. They were all a little jealous that Duan Muxi could gain Huangfu Cang's favor.
Only Prince Xuan Huangfuqing and Prince Xuan Huangfuyu were happy for Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xi.
