LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

The little sparkle in his brother"s eyes, the Emperor failed to bring back in the past three years have returned . . .

A smile crept up in his lips when he said, "So you met her!"

"What a bother she is . . . ", Chenglei started and the Emperor interrupted, "So did you bring her back?"

"Back?", Chenglei snorted and the Emperor was pleasantly shocked to see his brother this lively . He always looked like he had lost his soul these past three years .

She is his soul!

"Not only her monkey bit me, she went on getting into trouble and when I saved her, without even a thanks she mocked me and went on her way . And . . . "

The Emperor was really happy with his brother bantering like an idiot and he looked like a little boy who got his secret wish and continued on with his work . Mo Chen by his side opened one of his eyes to see the happening around and then just went back to sleep .

What changed? The Emperor wondered . His brother always had this cold and aloof aura as far as he knew and he behaved that way even with those who were close to him . Maybe . . . Maybe in the past he had a lot of things he had to take care of and those burdens weighed on him that made him that way . Now . . . Since he has finished almost everything, he feels free even without him realising it .

All that is left for him is to marry her! Once she is brought back here, that"ll happen too and his brother will be happy forever .

As he was thinking, the Emperor"s mood was lifted and at that time the Crown Prince was brought in . His son really loved his brother more than him and would always hang on to him .

That little boy just two and a half years old was clad in the best silk robes and his chubby cheeks were pink and he really looked like a bun and cute with his silk robes making him look a bit more fatter . His jet black hair and green eyes made him look exactly like his father and his small pink lips were pouty .

"Uncle!", "Father!", he politely bowed in front of the two men and Chenglei lifted him up and sat him in his lap and Chenglei sent out the nanny who brought him in .

" Look how cultured you are, Ah Xuan! Good boy! ", he patted his head and that boy was really pleased, "But she had a monkey who called her mummy . . . What a . . . ", Chenglei was still blabbering when the little boy looked at Chenglei with admiration in his eyes making the Emperor remember his young days when he"d follow his brother looking at him the same way .

" Wait . . The monkey spoke human language? ", the Emperor looked up . He thought Mingxia actually had a monkey .

"What . . ?", Chenglei looked at the Emperor confused . "Who travels around with an actual monkey . I meant the boy with her . . . Come on Junjie . . . "

"A boy? How old was he? What did he look like? His name . . ?", the Emperor perked up . He knew something happened that day of the war and she looked different after that . Could that boy be brother"s?

"Why are you this excited?", Chenglei peeled a grape for Ah Xuan and gave him one by one while the boy ate with good manners .

"That boy is her brother Lord Ming"s . I had to dig really deep to find out about her . Apparently Lord Ming is not her blood brother and she is really good with a sword and someone loved by all in the west . People called her Lord Táng there and . . . "

The Emperor was slightly disappointed hearing that . He knew Lord Ming has a son too .

So that boy is not brother"s! If he is, it would have been easier! He knew Mingxia won"t marry his brother that easily and unless his brother rememebers her, it would be hard for her to accept him .

Seeing his Brother in deep thoughts, Chenglei had a weird thought . He let Ah Xuan down and that boy strutted towards Mo Chen . Mo Chen sensing the boy walking towards him, tried to get away . That boy liked to poke his little fingers inside his nose and make him uncomfortable . He is not scared of his sharp teeth either and will play with him in a way he didn"t like . Mo Chen was scared he"d accidentally hurt that little boy . But before Mo Chen could escape, Ah Xuan caught him and Mo Chen surrendered to his tortures .

"Junjie, is She your woman?", Chenglei asked and he felt a lump in his throat . Is that why he is this interested in her?

"Hmpf", the Emperor snorted, "Why? Do you like her, brother?"

"Me?", Chenglei wondered what kind of feelings he had for that woman he only knew for a little time but made a bigger impression on him . But before he thought about it, he remembered the smile in her lips when she called "hubby" . He knew she has someone in her heart . Although by the investigations he had on her, she is not married and he couldn"t find out about the man in her heart, he was sure she is in love with someone else . What use is his feelings then . ?

Seeing Chenglei in deep thoughts and his face a bit sad, the Emperor asked, "What will you do if she is my woman?"

"Is she?", Chenglei smirked and a glint of darkness appeared in his eyes . He couldn"t give up that woman who is smart and beautiful at the same time . Who cares who is in her heart? I"ll make her mine!

"If she is yours, then I"ll steal her from you!", he said gently rubbing his lips with his finger reminiscing the kiss they shared . It felt too good!

"Hahaha ha!", the Emperor laughed, "Brother, never mind! She"d be the last woman who"d be mine!", you told me so!

"Whatever!", Chenglei snorted looking at his brother confining he"s not lying .

"So did she accept to come to the city?, the Emperor asked .

" No! But I"ve set a trap for her! She has to! ", Chenglie had a smirk in his lips .

Mingxia! Return back! The kingdom needs you!

The Emperor patted his son"s head and the arrival of the Empress was announced and immediately the boy darted away from Mo Chen and sat in a chair like a good boy .

His mother never likes him playing with Mo Chen . She says that he is a dirty beast! But he liked Mo Chen .

Chenglei left immediately and as Chu Weiye entered she gave a polite curtsy to him . Chenglei just nodded and left .

Chu Weiye snorted mockingly as she saw the back of Chenglei . What a trash man! Trying to woo another man and spending time with my husband more than myself! What"s so good about him!

"Your Majesty!", she bowed to the Emperor and he didn"t even lift his head from the letter he was reading, "Hmm", he said, "Why is the empress here?" . Mo Chen stood and curled up behind the Emperor"s chair out of her view and that made her frown .

"My husband has time for everyone except me and so I came to remind you that I am still your wife!", she got near Ah Xuan and he flinched and sat straight in the chair controlling even his breathing .

The Emperor didn"t even answer her as he knew whatever he said will turn against him and turned his sight towards his son .

" You . . . You played with that beast again, didn"t you? ", she raised her hand to hit the boy and the Emperor threw his tea cup down, "The empress must calm down . It is not good for the baby in your belly!", he spoke in a calm tone . The little boy was biting his bottom lips hard, fearing that he"d get hit .

"Yeah! The baby in my belly! Is that all I am? A doll to have your children? Nothing more?", she had tears streaming through her face and she wiped it with a snort when the Emperor didn"t even look at her .

"That"s what the empress wanted . Now leave and let Ah Xuan stay here for a while", he said and called his son and his son ran to his father rather enthusiastically .

"He is your son, alright! Always running away from me! His mother! " she gritted her teeth and turned with her phoenix headdress making clinking noises as she left .

"There, there . . . " The Emperor patted the frightened boy to calm him down and poured him some water .

"Let"s get uncle Huang Rijun to teach Ah Xuan something . . . What does Ah Xuan want to learn today?", he spoke in a coaxing voice .

"Writing . . . Writing", the boy clapped his hands gleefully .

"Aren"t you too young to learn to write?", the Emperor chuckled .

"No . . . I"ll help father soon!", he spoke in his beautiful voice and the Emperor hugged him close with a doting smile in his lips .

"Good boy!"
