Prince Zhan's mansion had four courtyards in the east, west, south, and north. The Eastern Courtyard was the main courtyard, which was Xuanyuan Mo's dwelling, while the Northern Courtyard was the guest’s courtyard for guests. The Southern Courtyard and Western Courtyard were the side courtyards for Xuanyuan Mo's princess consort, side consort, and concubines.
Xuanyuan Mo was indifferent to women, so there wasn't a side consort or concubine in Prince Zhan's mansion. Even all his servants were men. For now, no one lived in the Southern Courtyard and Western Courtyard.
Ignoring his servants' surprised eyes, Xuanyuan Mo directly carried Duanmu Xi to his Xuelan House. He gently put her on the arhat bed and covered her with a quilt. Then he brushed her hair off her face softly.
Xi must be exhausted after a long and bumpy carriage journey without a restful lodging.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at her quietly as if he could never have enough
Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi hugged each other quietly as if there were only the two of them in the world and no other.A long time later, Duanmu Xi said, "Snow, I want to meet your father."She wanted to marry Xuanyuan Mo as soon as possible. She wanted him to be the happiest man in the world and let all the people envy them.Hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo tightened his grip on Duanmu Xi's arms and rubbed against the top of her head, "Okay. We'll go to the imperial palace after lunch."In the Yong'an Palace of the Baihu Empire.A secret guard in black was half-kneeling in front of a middle-aged beautiful woman, who wore a bright-yellow phoenix robe and a golden phoenix crown. There was also a young man sitting beside the middle-aged beautiful woman. The young man's triangular eyes were simply the same as the middle-aged beautiful woman's.The middle-aged beautiful woman was Xuanyuan Lie's empress, Guo Hui'
Xuanyuan Lie glanced at the black wooden box in Duanmu Xi's hands and said, "It is so kind of you and your mother. As to the Xuanwu Empire's matter, our empire only made a slight effort. Without our empire, the Xuanwu Empire would still have retreated."He heard that the old emperor of the Qinglong Empire also dispatched troops to the Xuanwu Empire. Besides, the Zhuque Empire had troops as well, so the Xuanwu Empire had no choice but to retreat. What was more, he did that not to help the Zhuque Empire but because he couldn't refuse Xuanyuan Mo’s request. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Lie squinted at Xuanyuan Mo aside.After understanding Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, Xuanyuan Mo looked away.When Duanmu Xi saw that Xuanyuan Lie didn't intend to accept her Bodhi Elixir, she frowned slightly and looked seriously at him, "Perhaps you only made a slight effort in the Xuanwu Empire’s matter, but it was a great favor to our Zhuque Empire. We have no reaso
Duanmu Xi's white clothes stunned the crowd present. They thought that as the crown princess of two empires, she must wear an embroidered robe and phoenix dress. Even if it wasn't an embroidered robe or phoenix dress, she should wear fancy clothes with accessories like the eldest princess of the Xuanwu Empire. To their surprise, she only wore simple white clothes and had no accessories except the white ribbon.Although her attire was so simple, her fairylike elegance still manifested itself. The crowd had no blasphemy for her, only worship and admiration.Zhou Manyun sat on Xuanyuan Lie's right and was slightly stunned to see Duanmu Xi. What a pure beauty with enchanting purple eyes! No wonder Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Mo both had a crush on the girl. Such a pure and charming girl was a fatal attraction to men.The crowd didn't expect that Prince Zhan would come with the crown princess of the Zhuque Empire and they seemed to have a close
Once again, everyone was shocked at what they heard. The crown princess of the Zhuque Empire had accepted the challenge posed by the princess of the Xuanwu Empire to compete with her in dance. With such a noble status, she was still willing to dance in front of everyone just to prove her love for Prince Zhan. How deep her love was!Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Mo with envious eyes. No wonder a man as cold as an iceberg was melted. Being deeply loved by such a girl must be a happy thing!Xuanyuan Mo had become dumbfounded, and at this moment his mind was completely occupied by Duanmu Xi’s confession that her Snow deserved the best treatment in the world.No one had ever said this to him. His world had always been full of sarcasm, such as saying he was a half-demon, demon or wolf demon. No one had done this for him. There were just endless chases and assassinations. And initially, Xuanyuan Mo thought he did not care, he didn’t realize until
Xuanyuan Lie looked at the gloomy face of Xiahou Shan and said, "The applause has already explained everything. Don't you understand it after hearing the applause, Princess of Xuanwu Empire?""I..."Before Xiahou Shan could refute, Zhuge Weiming stood up and said, "This dance should only be available in heaven and can hardly be seen in this world. Crown Princess is more skilled, and our Xuanwu Empire is willing to admit defeat." After speaking, Zhuge Weiming bowed to Duanmu Xi with clasped hands.Xiahou Shan glared at Zhuge Weiming angrily when she heard his words as if she were about to eat him.Feeling the fire-breathing line of sight next to him, Zhuge Weiming didn't turn around to look at Xiahou Shan. Instead, he only slightly inclined his head to look askance at her, with a strong warning in his harsh eyes.Reading the warning in Zhuge Weiming's eyes, Xiahou Shan sat down reluctantly, glaring indignantly at
Xiahou Shan's sarcasm made everyone quiet, and her words were now lingering in everyone’s mind.Why hadn't they ever thought of it? Crown Princess of Zhuque would indeed be an empress in the future. Even if she didn't have many concubines, at least Prince Zhan would not be her only man.In that case, could their Prince Zhan stand sharing a wife with other men? He probably could not. Since Prince Zhan had such a cold-blooded and merciless temperament, perhaps he would kill all the men of Crown Princess of Zhuque.Everyone seemed to have seen the bloody scene, and they were trembling all together.Some men also began to fantasize. This crown princess of the Zhuque Empire was as beautiful as a fairy maiden with an exalted identity and lots of wealth. It would be so wonderful to marry such a woman. Even if they couldn’t be her husband, being a concubine was good enough! They just didn't know whether Crown Princess of Zhuque woul
Outside the imperial study, it was snowing lightly.On the corridor, a girl in white looked at the small snowflakes that kept falling from the sky and couldn't help reaching out her little hands.The slightly cool feeling in her palm relieved Duanmu Xi's worries a lot. And she suddenly felt like playing. She held a handful of snow on the ground with both hands and then squeezed the snow into a snowball.When Duanmu Xi was a child, she played snowballs and built a snowman with her grandpa. Thinking of her grandpa, Duanmu Xi unconsciously painted Duanmu Cang with her fingers on the snowball."Put this on, or you may catch a cold." With the words of concern, a white fox-fur robe was draped over Duanmu Xi's shoulders.The sudden voice instantly brought Duanmu Xi to her senses. Seeing Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi immediately smiled, "Snow! You are here!""Yeah," Xuanyuan Mo responded while helping wipe the sma
The next day, Xuanyuan Lie was marking the memorials in the imperial study.Eunuch Hu walked in and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, the princess of the Xuanwu Empire wants to meet you."Hearing this, Xuanyuan Lie frowned and put down his vermilion writing brush. He looked at Eunuch Hu and asked, "Is she alone?"Immediately, Eunuch Hu answered with respect, "Yes."Xuanyuan Lie's frown deepened. Why did that woman come to him alone?"Let her in.""Yes." Eunuch Hu bowed out of the imperial study.In a short while, Eunuch Hu led Xiahou Shan in.Xiahou Shan saw Xuanyuan Lie and slightly bent down to salute him, "Your Majesty, greetings.""Princess, rise." Xuanyuan Lie's voice was lukewarm. Somehow, he couldn't take kindly to the eldest princess of the Xuanwu Empire.Upon hearing it, Xiahou Shan stood up straight and looked at Xuanyuan Lie. For a moment,
