Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

Huangfu Qing looked at Huangfu Che and thumped the latter’s shoulders, “Che, why do you still look the same after so many years?”

Looking at his full brother, Huangfu Che laughed sincerely, “Don’t you also look the same?”

Hearing that, Huangfu Qing shook his head and said smilingly, “You are still so sweet as before.”

He was only five years older than Huangfu Che but he looked more than ten years older. Che still appeared young but he really became much older.

Huangfu Qing stared at Huangfu Che with an affectionate look. Upon seeing Che, he would think of his mother–the beautiful and soft woman.

“Che, how is everything going on over the years?”

Back then, Che insisted on marrying into the Zhuque Empire. Not only his father but also he was very worried. He was worried that his brother would be bullied in the Zhuque Empire and that the empress of the Zhuque Empire would maltreat Huangfu Che. However, all the news that came from the Zhuque Empire was satisfactory.

Looking at Huangfu Qing’s affectionate eyes, Huangfu Che had tears in his eyes at once, “I’m fine.”

He knew that what he did made his brother and father sad but if he were to choose again, he would make the same choice.

“That’s great,” Huangfu Qing patted his shoulders and said with delight.

The past had passed. It would be fine as long as he lived a happy life.

Duanmu Xue, who was staring at the two brothers catching up, cracked a smile with her dark purple eyes glistening. These were real brothers! Prince Ning was not a brother at all!

Huangfu Che seemed to think of something and then dragged Duanmu Xue over, saying to Huangfu Qing, “Fourth Brother, this is my wife, Duanmu Xue.”

This time, Huangfu Che’s introduction was different from the one he made for Prince Ning before. He introduced Duanmu Xue as the empress of the Zhuque Empire last time but this time, he said this was his wife.

Hearing that, Huangfu Qing looked at Duanmu Xue next to Huangfu Che. She was no longer dressed in the yellow phoenix robe that she wore when she greeted Huangfu Cang but the informal dress. Magnificent as she still looked, she was not as swanking as before. She was actually above 30 years old but she looked like 26 or 27 years old with a bit of make-up on her beautiful face. Although she was a weak woman, her majestic air was not what ordinary women could have.

She was an enchanting woman indeed. No wonder Che would give up the position of the crown prince for her and even marry into the Zhuque Empire far away.

“Xue, this is my fourth brother, Huangfu Qing.”

Hearing the words–Huangfu Qing, Duanmu Xue finally took a tumble. It turned out that he was Che’s full brother. No wonder they were so intimate. However, it seemed that these two brothers didn’t look alike. Huangfu Qing looked more like his father while Che resembled his mother more.

Duanmu Xue looked at Huangfu Qing and smiled amicably, “Fourth Brother, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you from Che. Today, I finally meet you.”

Seeing Duanmu Xue’s easy-going demeanor, he felt relieved and bantered, “Oh yeah? Did he speak ill of me a lot?”

Duanmu Xue shook her head with a stiff facial expression. He didn’t speak ill of Huangfu Qing but he did tell her a lot of embarrassments about Huangfu Qing.

Looking at Duanmu Xue’s embarrassed facial expression, Huangfu Qing knew that he had guessed it right. He immediately turned to say to Huangfu Che, “How can you do that? You’ve really spoken ill of me in front of your wife!”

Huangfu Che slightly arched his eyebrow and wore a sinister smile, “Or else? What’s good in you for me to tell her?”

Seeing Huangfu Che’s complacent look, Huangfu Qing felt disgruntled and then thought of a solution.

“Humph. Man, don’t blame me for this!” Huangfu Qing thought.

He turned to say to Duanmu Xue, “Xue, let me tell you an embarrassment that happened to him when he was little.”

With her eyes sparkling, Duanmu Xue looked at Huangfu Qing with intrigue.

Staring at the glistening purple eyes, Huangfu Qing put on a mischievous smile, “He wetted his bed even when he was six years old!”

Upon hearing that, Huangfu Che immediately covered Huangfu Qing’s mouth and blushed, shouting in a low voice, “Are you my brother or not?”

Huangfu Che thought resentfully, “Is he my brother or not? How can he tell Xue such an embarrassment? What a shame!”

Huangfu Qing grinned mischievously. Even his black eyes were full of bantering.

Huangfu Che had a lot more embarrassing incidents than him when they were little. He must discuss them with Duanmu Xue later.

Looking at Duanmu Xue who tried her best to hold back grinning, Huangfu Che explained in a hurry, “Xue, don’t listen to him. I didn’t do that. This is his vindictive act. I mean it…”

“Haha… Haha…” Duanmu Xue finally burst out laughing.

Huangfu Che was dumbstruck to see Duanmu Xue killing herself laughing.

While Huangfu Che was in a daze, Huangfu Qing pulled his hand away and also screamed with laughter.

Hearing the laughter, Huangfu Che thumped Huangfu Qing twice bashfully and angrily, “How can you be laughing? You are the culprit! My reputation has been ruined by you.”

The three of them fought in jest, attracting countless jealous eyes.

Especially Huangfu Zhao was staring at the laughing Duanmu Xue with a resentful look.

He was Huangfu Che’s brother too but Duanmu Xue showed a domineering bearing and even intimidated him. However, she treated Huangfu Qing smilingly in an approachable manner.

“Here arrive His Majesty, the Crown Princess of the Zhuque Empire and Mr. Xuanyuan.”

As the eunuch chanted loudly, Huangfu Cang and Duanmu Xi entered the Longxing Hall. Of course, Xuanyuan Mo who followed Duanmu Xi closely also walked inside. Because he didn’t show his identity, the eunuchs only knew that his family name was Xuanyuan.

Hearing the honorific title of the Crown Princess of the Zhuque Empire, Huangfu Cang slightly frowned. A glint of disgruntlement passed over his eyes but shortly, he smiled again.

Seeing that Huangfu Cang came inside, Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Che also stopped bantering.

Huangfu Qing stared dully at Duanmu Xi dressed in white. She looked really like their mother. Actually, Che also looked like their mother but because he was a man, he just looked somewhat weird. However, Che’s daughter resembled their mother quite much.

No wonder his father liked her so much. Similarly, his father adored Che not only because he was an extremely talented man when he was young but also because Che looked like his mother very much. His father loved his mother so his father adored Che too. Even Yu who looked somewhat like Che was also adored by his father, let alone Xi who was extremely similar to his mother.

“Father…”

“Grandfather, greetings…” The imperial family members in the hall all greeted Huangfu Cang upon seeing him.

Huangfu Cang took Duanmu Xi onto the jade stairs and flicked his sleeves, saying to the imperial family members, “All rise. It is a family feast today. Just drop the formalities.”

Hearing that, all the people became relaxed and the quiet hall suddenly became boisterous.

When Huangfu Cang saw the descendants bustling with noise and excitement, his eyes were full of smiles. He turned to order Eunuch Wang behind, “De’an, the banquet starts now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Upon hearing the order, Eunuch Wang immediately went to execute the order.

Shortly, the dinner party started. Duanmu Xi was asked to stay with Huangfu Cang. They sat in the highest position of the hall. Xuanyuan Mo had no other choice but to sit next to Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue.

“Xi, try this. You cannot have this in the Zhuque Empire but the Qinglong Empire only.” Huangfu Cang served Duanmu Xi with a dish that she had never seen before.

Duanmu Xi had a taste of the dish and then nodded, “Yummy.”

Huangfu Cang laughed amicably, “Have some more if you like it.” Then, he served her with another dish, “Try this too.”

Duanmu Xue, sitting on the left seat of Huangfu Cang, was happy and slightly worried to see that Huangfu Cang adored Duanmu Xi so much.

Huangfu Che seemed to feel Duanmu Xue’s restlessness and then patted her hand gently.

Thanks to Huangfu Che’s comfort, Duanmu Xue’s restlessness was slowly gone. She paid attention to the conversation of Huangfu Cang and Duanmu Xi again.

“Oh yeah? I can’t believe that Father should be so naughty when he was little!” While eating, Duanmu Xi heard Huangfu Cang talk about the funny childhood stories of Huangfu Che.

“This is nothing. He once fell into the toilet in fright when he saw a cockroach in the bathroom,” Huangfu Cang deliberately lowered his voice to tell Duanmu Xi about Huangfu Che’s childhood embarrassments.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was amused, “He fell into the toilet? That must stink.”

It turned out that her father was afraid of cockroaches! She must catch a cockroach to scare him one day.

Huangfu Che was so speechless. What was wrong with these people today? Why did they just keep talking about his embarrassments? Huangfu Che peeped at Duanmu Xue who was holding back smiling and Xuanyuan Mo whose eyes were full of laughter. He couldn’t help sighing. His reputation was ruined…

While listening to Huangfu Che’s interesting stories, these people kept snickering until the dinner party was over.

Duanmu Xue who returned to the room finally burst out laughing. It took her so much effort to hold back laughter for a whole night.

Huangfu Che looked at Duanmu Xue who had shed tears with laughter, his black eyes full of affection. He gently closed his door, carried the laughing Duanmu Xue in his arms, and walked to the bed, “Since you dare to laugh at me, I must teach you a lesson.”

The red curtain rolled down. Very shortly, Duanmu Xue’s begging for mercy and groans came from inside.

In another room, Xuanyuan Mo was staring at Duanmu Xi with aggrievance.

Duanmu Xi knew that she was in the wrong and hastened to say with an obsequious smile, “I’m sorry. Grandpa asks me to play chess with him. I cannot reject him. I promise that I will come back as soon as possible.”

Xuanyuan Mo gazed at Duanmu Xi plaintively. He looked really aggrieved.

Duanmu Xi became softhearted and comforted him again, “Don’t be so sad. I will be back soon.” Then, she stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips on Xuanyuan Mo’s thin lips.

Xuanyuan Mo wouldn’t let go of this great opportunity for sure. He directly held Duanmu Xi’s slim waist and kept her from flinching. Then, he just kissed her passionately.

After a passionate French kiss, Xuanyuan Mo finally let go of Duanmu Xi slowly.

The eunuch waiting for Duanmu Xi outside the door was burning with anxiety but he didn’t dare to press Duanmu Xi. Hence, he could only pace in situ. Finally, upon seeing Duanmu Xi come out, he immediately said with delight, “Your Highness, please come with me.”
