LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

Little Xinxin was jealous for a while after LianLian"s birth but both of them got along pretty well now. He felt pity towards his little brother gradually, who was too dumb to walk or talk like him and started to take care of him. He is almost three now and so he is a big boy!

Since her husband was reluctant to call their son by the name of Tians.h.i.+ Emperor, she compromised to this name - "LianLian". Fortunately for her, he didn"t realise that was the name of their patron G.o.d.

They celebrated LianLian"s first birthday a couple of months back and it was almost grand as a state celebration as grand as the first birthday celebrations of Xinxin and the Imperial sons and daughter. Her father, Huang AoTian tried his kidnapping act a couple of times and even succeeded once, as he brought LianLian to the Prime Minister"s Manor. Xing knew her father was the one who took him from their Manor and just let it go. She knew what would happen next. As expected, LianLian caused a ruckus so big, her father had no other way but to send for Chenglei himself and handed the baby over.

"I was face to face with King Yan, Mingxia. His hair was silver and his eyes were green like a pool of emerald with golden streaks in it", AoTian complained his experience of handing over their son to Chenglei. Apparently Chenglei held a sword by his neck that day and almost killed him. AoTian never tried to even hold LianLian again.

Her younger son never left his father"s side. She nursed him herself and even when he was still an infant, he"d come to her only when he was hungry and at other times he"d hang on to his father and would cry each time Chenglei leaves out.

"Are you really my ancestor who wanted to be my son?" Xing wondered looking at her son now tottering around. But she was ninety five percent sure that her son is the reincarnation of the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor. He should have drank the "soup of forgetfulness" and forgotten his past. Also the reincarnation of someone will only have their deep wish integrated to their soul and otherwise they would be an entirely different person with different characteristics and ambitions.

Also she had another doubt. Ryuga"s wife gave birth to a daughter a month after LianLian was born and her first birthday celebration invitation was sent to her and as she was preparing for sending gifts, LianLian was too excited and even chose a beautiful jade hairpin for her. LianLian never got excited for anything till then and he didn"t get excited for anything else after that even though she sent gifts for a lot of people after that.

"Could it be, Ryuga"s daughter is Empress Shu"s reincarnation and LianLian"s deep wish to have his full life with his wife from precious life is manifested this young? "

Xing sighed at the absurdity of her own train of thoughts, "Let"s not think too much. These are a year old babies. What would they know about love and whatnot? It could be an entirely random thing!"

LianLian trotted along the plants plucking the leaves while Little Xinxin guided his little brother and supervised his poor little brother who still couldn"t walk properly like him.

"Your highness, this is serious! Did you even listen to what I said?", Xiao Mei"s panicking voice made Xing snort.

"Xiao Mei, get the kids inside", Xing stood up cutting off Xiao Mei who was extremely agitated. Her hands gently caressed her belly unconsciously.

"Welcome back, hubby", she said with a smile as she could clearly see her husband was more frustrated that Xiao Mei was as he pulled down the curtains in the pavilion. There were privacy settings in their home almost everywhere..

"Xing, my love! ", he hugged her tight and Xing could sense everyone leaving the pavilion including their sons. Of course Lian Lian didn"t realise his father was back yet.

"I"m thirsty", he said without relenting his grip on her. He didn"t know how to break what happened in the court to her and he was ragingly mad at his brother for betraying him.

But looking at his wife, he had other ideas. She is his everything and he always felt comfortable around her.

"Let me pour you tea", she tried to get out of his hold. She could sense his shoulders were too stiff and his heart was racing of anger. He was definitely angry at someone and it was not her which was enough for her.

"Not tea...", one of his arm wrapped around her waist as he stood straight and his nose traced over her nose and ended up on her forehead and his other hand went to her collar untying her robe.

"Want milk"

The past year, her husband childishly competed with her infant son to get fed by her. She didn"t know what to feel of it but she didn"t feel irked about it and so she"d let him have a little at times. But LianLian stopped drinking breast milk as soon as he turned one and she stopped lactating much to the woe of Chenglei.

"Come on, Chenglei", Xing gritted her teeth holding his hand, "You know there"s no more..", she fused her clothes.

"Aww! But I want...you", he pouted and kissed her. He only remembered now and felt bad for forgetting.

"Aren"t you one useless husband", she pushed him away and pushed the curtains aside and walked towards their room walking over the stone paved pathway through the garden.

"Xing! Careful ", he ran behind her and held her sleeves and she looked back with a glare holding her hand over her abdomen.

"Useless!", she mumbled again.

"Xing... Come on! Don"t be mad!", he followed her into the room. His wife"s been in a bad mood since she is pregnant again with a boy.

How can I control my little guys to give her a daughter she wants?

"Xing, these things are decided by heavens. We have no control over it. Especially your lovely husband did try to give you a girl but....", he gently ma.s.saged her legs as she sat on the couch.

"So, which courtyard should I decorate red, your highness?", she interjected him and Chenglei coughed since his throat went dry.

"How did his little wife get the information this fast and she is using the exact words his silly brother used, how? ", he wondered.

"How else? Stupid! My wife is adorably smart, that"s how ", he was pleased in his heart. She is always adorable and saved him the plight of revealing the truth to her.

"Xing.... I have nothing to do with it. I swear! My brother betrayed me... I"m going to whoop his a*s and throw him in a cell", Chenglei tried to coax his wife who didn"t even look at him as she was frowning.

As he looked at her like a wronged puppy, he saw her expression turning cold as she spoke decisively.

" How many courtyards do you need? I"ll need two. I"m going to conduct a chess compet.i.tion and let all young lads compete for me. Brainy guys are s.e.xy. Sixteen is too young, eighteen is better. I"m rich and I"m younger than you. Guess I"ll have some guys line up for me too. I need your blessings, hubby", with a grin that was obviously fake, she looked at Chenglei and watching him go pale like a sheet unable to say anything to her, she couldn"t hold back her laughter.

She really can"t hate him. She was a little disappointed the second child she is carrying is also a boy but there can be more. She"d try again and again until she gets a daughter or two. She loved to have more of his children.

And as for the other issue, she always knew this would happen. Her Huang family and Zhong family announced monogamy as a family rule but since Chenglei accepted the t.i.tle of the Prince, he is a member of the Royal family and he must follow their rule and taking concubines is a must for Royal family members.

But she was not shaken by it. If skinning the other woman and hanging the skin by her Manor"s door would keep other women from trying to get in her Manor, she"d do it without any reluctance. And who would stop her? So she was not scared as long as Chenglei"s heart is with her.

"Xing!", Chenglei only let out his breath he was holding after seeing her laugh and she hugged him and patted his back.

"Did I scare you, rascal prince?", she didn"t stop her laughing and he bit her lips and carried her to bed.

"You vixen!", he removed her clothes before undressing himself.

After giving birth, she looked adorable with those baby fat and he found her attractive. But she started exercising from the third month itself and by the sixth month, she almost got to the way she was before she got pregnant. Her tummy got flat as a board somehow and only a little stretch marks were there and that too by her ointments, got a lot lighter. But he couldn"t deny some of her parts did mature after childbirth especially her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and that made her more alluring.

She is a beguiling woman, alright... His woman! Only his! With a woman like her by his side, why would his eyes wander?

"Do you really want eighteen year old lads?", he clenched his teeth out of the deep jealousy he felt and tried to kiss her but she held his jaw and her grip was rather hard.

"As much as you want sixteen year old girls", she smirked.

"Good girl", he bit her finger as she removed her hand from his jaw.

"I don"t want little girls. I only want you", he bent and kissed her neck and trailed down.

"Pregnancy suits you", he said as he kissed her peaches and gently suckled her sensitive tips making her moan.

"There really is nothing coming out", he left her chest and tried to kiss her lips but she bit him first, chuckling.

"Silly husband"

"Don"t go too deep", she urged him as he entered her. She is in the early stages of pregnancy and she wanted to be careful.

"I know", he kissed her deeply as he got inside her and the two had a pa.s.sionate session of love-making not even thinking of the trouble that was looming on them. They had each other and that was enough for them both.

"My Xing, I love you!", he kissed her forehead as she weakly lied beside him and his hand gently caressed her belly. There is another one of their child in there, growing each day.

"I love you too, my Prince", she kissed his chin looking up.

"I"ll make sure that compet.i.tion doesn"t happen, Xing. I won"t hurt you again",he held her.

All he has to do is find out who are willing to attend the compet.i.tion and kill them. With no women, the compet.i.tion will be cancelled. Of course that will cause troubles, but since his sweet little brother knows to pacify those brainless officials, he will take care of those grieving officials too.

"If you kill the girls this year, won"t there be more girls who come of age next year too? How long will you avoid it?", she nuzzled her head into his chest.

"Xing, what have you planned?", Chenglei looked at her face. He had a feeling that she already has planned something.

She let out a gentle chuckle, "Come on, your brother won"t do something to separate us, don"t you know?"

"Okay?", he got a bit impatient.

"Isn"t it a open compet.i.tion where anyone can attend?", she rolled over his chest and looked at him wriggling her eyebrows.

"Yes...", Chenglei"s expression froze.

So my little moon is going to attend?

"Xing, it is an embroidery compet.i.tion not martial arts compet.i.tion", he couldn"t help but check if she understood it well.

" I know. So what?", she was all smiles and closed her eyes and almost immediately fell asleep.

"Oh, dear!", Chenglei sighed.

It is a good plan actually. She attends, she wins and I can take her back home.

But....

MY WIFE CANNOT DO EMBROIDERY FOR THE LIFE OF HER!!!

I really don"t want my future hang on my wife"s embroidery skills!

You hypocrite! You said you are not a thing to be won over when I engaged Ryuga in a duel. I totally agree!

But how could you do this to me and make me the prize of a compet.i.tion, you"d certainly lose?

Oh,Xing! I should be killing everyone. Forgive me!

Chenglei fell into deep despair over his wife"s decision.

As much as he loved and trusted her, he had no faith in her embroidery skills.
