As Hongye chanted, Huangfu Che, dressed in white, advanced slowly with a faint smile on his handsome face. Many women were fascinated by his charming smile.

Duanmu Shuang was also staring obsessively at the man she wanted so badly.

Huangfu Che was followed by a young man and a young girl.

The young man was dressed in black, giving off an air of coldness and alienation.

Everyone was surprised at the appearance of the young man.

This young man’s appearance was definitely not inferior to His Highness the Royal Consort’s. Likewise, he was also fabulously handsome, except that his disposition was different.

His Highness the Royal Consort was like an immortal, within sight but beyond reach. On the contrary, the young man just looked like an elf that broke into the secular world, good-looking and mysterious.

The young girl was standing next to the young man.

She was dressed in white. Her gorgeous face was expressionless and her purple eyes were fixed on Duanmu Xue sitting on the throne.

Her Highness the Crown Princess…

All the people goggled in astonishment.

The crown princess who had been missing for more than one year was back now. No wonder the empress demanded holding a birthday party for the crown princess in a big way. It looked like that the empress had known about the return of the crown princess.

Duanmu Shuang’s face was dark with rage. Her whole body was enshrouded in an air of terrifying coldness.

D*mn it. The total wreck was really back.

Si Ruxu was on the verge of collapse, her face ghastly pale.

She was wrong. So wrong. The crown princess came back just two days after the empress bestowed the marriage. The situation was totally out of her expectation.

Those officials who seconded the proposal of Left Prime Minister Qin and General Si were more than regretful now. They would not have done that if they had known about the return of the crown princess.

The officials all went back to their positions and made way for Huangfu Che and the others, hoping that the empress could forget what they had done just now.

Duanmu Xue was the most excited one among all.

Her daughter was finally back…

“Xue, I’ve brought Xi back.”

Huangfu Che didn’t salute Duanmu Xue. Only one saying was good enough to manifest the enviable affection between the two of them.

Mother?

Duanmu Xi gazed at Duanmu Xue.

The empress of the Zhuque Empire did look the same as her mother.

Maybe because she was parentless, God let her come here from another world and offered her such kind parents.

Duanmu Xue nodded with excitement and flicked her sleeves.

“Great! Great! A feast shall be held to celebrate the Crown Princess’s return.”

All the officials and officers just knelt then.

“Long live the Empress! Long live His Highness the Royal Consort! Long live Her Highness the Crown Princess!”

In the Tongxin Hall of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire.

Duanmu Xue dragged Duanmu Xi over and looked her up and down, touching and pinching, which made Duanmu Xi quite embarrassed.

“Okay, Xue, why don’t you let Xi have a rest?”

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s embarrassed facial expression, Huangfu Che dragged Duanmu Xue aside resignedly.

Sitting by the table, Duanmu Xue stroked Duanmu Xi’s face pitifully.

“Xi, you look thinner. Where have you been during the past more than one year? Why couldn’t the guards I sent find you?”

“Mother.”

Looking at Duanmu Xue who adored her so much, Duanmu Xi felt touched and uttered the word uncontrollably.

Duanmu Xue was slightly dazed. Why did Xi call her mother? Xi always called her mom before.

Duanmu Xue looked at Huangfu Che across the table in bewilderment.

Stared at by Duanmu Xue, Huangfu Che shook his head lightly.

He was confused too. Xi didn’t call him dad either. In the past, Xi liked being with him the most, always calling him dad behind him. Why did she treat him like a stranger now?

“I lost my memory so…”

Seeing their confused looks, Duanmu Xi finally volunteered to explain.

“What? You lost your memory?” Duanmu Xue stood up in shock.

Even the prudent Huangfu Che was astounded, “What happened? You can’t remember me? But you…”

When he hugged her that day, he clearly heard her call him father. Although she didn’t call him dad, “father” meant the same. She must still be able to recognize him.

“That day, I woke up on an island by the Infinite Sea and then couldn’t recall my name. I just keep having some weird dreams. From the dreams, I learn about a lot of things that happened before.”

She didn’t want to tell them that she came from another world. For one thing, she didn’t want to make them sad. For another, she truly felt that she was their daughter. The feeling of kinship told her clearly that they were her father and mother.

Duanmu Xue held Duanmu Xi into her arms affectionately and kept stroking Duanmu Xi’s back.

“Who was that? Who made you suffer so much pain? If I found her out, I must tear her into pieces.”

“Mother…”

Feeling Duanmu Xue’s killing intent, Duanmu Xi called her.

Huangfu Che patted Duanmu Xue’s back gently. He wouldn’t let go anyone who had hurt her daughter either.

“Okay. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Xi, won’t you introduce your fiancé to your mother?”

Hearing Huangfu Che’s bantering, Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo both flushed.

“Fiancé? What fiancé?” Duanmu Xue frowned in confusion.

Duanmu Xi got out of Duanmu Xue’s arms and dragged Xuanyuan Mo over, introducing him to Duanmu Xue.

“Mother, he is Xuanyuan Mo, my…my lover.”

After she said that, Duanmu Xi’s face turned so red.

Yet, she didn’t regret it at all. Since she decided to be with him, it wouldn’t matter to let the whole world know.

Xuanyuan Mo was elated to hear Duanmu Xi mention he was her lover. A kind of unspeakable joy welled up in his heart.

Duanmu Xue was dumbfounded. Xi was not even 12 years old yet but she had a lover now! Her daughter was even more awesome than her.

“I’m Xuanyuan Mo. Greetings, Your Majesty.” Xuanyuan Mo bowed to Duanmu Xue.

Duanmu Xue had noticed Xuanyuan Mo in the Zhuque Hall. His appearance was really comparable to her husband as reported by the phoenix guard.

“Your family name is Xuanyuan. Are you a member of the royal family of the Baihu Empire?”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed and then nodded, “Yes.”

Duanmu Xue raised her eyebrows. This young man’s identity was not inferior but…

“You are a royal member of the Baihu Empire. Will you marry into the imperial family of the Zhuque Empire?”

He had never thought about this issue.

According to their conversation, Duanmu Xi seemed to know something. The Baihu Empire might not be a matriarchal country. In other words, she got him wrong before. Maybe Snow was not a man of some matriarchal country at all.

“Xue, is it too early to talk about this? Xi is 12 years old only.”

Huangfu Che knitted his eyebrows. He couldn’t let his daughter get married too early, even if the son-in-law was married into the Zhuque Empire.

“This is the issue they must face in the future. We must talk this through beforehand in case that Xi may get hurt.”

“No, I will never hurt Xi.”

His simple reply sounded in Duanmu Xi’s ears like an oath.
