The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Zhukong was in a very bad mood after hearing the sad news of Hua Fuyue's death.

Hua Wu Ke was tactful enough to stop disturbing his grandfather, and left Hua Zhukong's room together with his father, brother and Ye Buhuo.

Hua Wu Ke was still hesitating whether he should tell his grandfather about the secret collusion between Hua Jingqian and Ye Chuji.

Seeing his grandfather’s deep affection, Hua Wu Ke decided to talk about it later.

As the acting city lord, grandfather still has to deal with the affairs of Beimo Pass, so let's not let him be distracted by these things far away in the capital.

We originally planned to take a day off today so that everyone can have a good reunion.

Now Hua Zhukong was no longer in the mood to enjoy family happiness, so Hua Rongyu went to the military camp to continue handling military affairs.

Only Hua Wujing stayed behind, ready to take Hua Wuke to tour the Beimo Pass.

Hua Wuke wanted to invite Ye Buhuo to go shopping together, but Hua Wujing originally disagreed.

I finally get to spend some time with my sister, why does he, an outsider, come in and interfere?

But when he thought that it was he who reminded Hua Wu Ke that saved Hua Wu Ke from Ye Chuji's murderous clutches.

Hua Wujing hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to let Hua Wuke invite Ye Buhuo to join them.

Although it was snowing in the capital, it was not as cold as at the border.

It was the first time that Hua Wu Ke felt such cold weather, and she buried her entire face in the fur collar of her cloak.

But she still felt the cold wind blowing into her clothes, making her feel very cold.

Ye Buhuo saw that Hua Wu Ke's face was red from the cold, the tip of his nose was also red, and he couldn't stop putting his hands to his mouth to blow air.

He pulled Hua Wu Ke's hand over, held it in his palm, and passed his warmth to her.

Hua Wu Ke felt a little embarrassed when she saw so many people on the street.

I tried to break free but couldn't.

Hua Wu Ke saw that both of them were wearing cloaks. Under the cover of the wide cloaks, the two seemed to be just walking closer.

Anyway, one couldn't see the hands of the two people hidden under the cloak, so Hua Wu Ke just let him go.

"It's so cold, why are there so many people on the street?"

Hua Wu Ke asked.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the North Desert Pass is covered in white and freezing cold in winter, but the people who have lived here for many years have become accustomed to this weather."

"It just so happens that there is a market today, so there are naturally more people."

Hua Wujing explained.

Hua Wu Ke looked around as he walked.

When passing by a shop selling rice and noodles, Hua Wu Ke saw a small stall in the shop, and there was meat for sale on the stall. He was curious:

"Why do those food shops still have meat?"

Ye Buhuo had been to Beimo Pass several times and had some understanding of it. He said:

"The border has been in turmoil for many years, and the people living here dare not go out of the city to grow crops. There is little land inside the border, so the harvest is very small."

"In the cold winter, when the family's surplus food is not enough to survive the winter, they will take the meat to this rice and flour shop to exchange for some food to take back."

Seeing that his words were snatched away by Ye Buhuo, Hua Wujing turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

I just happened to see the corners of their clothes touching each other.

Seeing that the two were so close, Hua Wujing immediately became unhappy.

Although the two are engaged, as long as they don't get married, Hua Wu Ke is just Hua Wu Jing's sister, and no one else can get involved with her!

Hua Wujing pulled Hua Wuke towards him.

Who knew that Ye Buhuo also took a step towards this side.

Hua Wujing glared and pulled Hua Wuke again, and Ye Buhuo followed him and took another step.

Hua Wujing stared at Ye Buhuo.

Ye Buhuo said: "There are many people in the market, I have to protect Sui Sui's safety."

Okay, this answer is barely acceptable.

Hua Wujing gave Ye Buhuo a look that said "you barely made it", then turned around and continued to introduce Hua Wuke to the things on the street that she had never seen before.

While Hua Wu Ke was continuing Hua Wu Jing's words, he was secretly trying to break free from Ye Bu Huo's grasp.

Ye Buhuo used a little strength to prevent Hua Wuke from breaking free, but at the same time not to hurt her.

After struggling for a long time without success, Hua Wu Ke turned around and glared at Ye Buhuo secretly.

It's clearly written in your eyes, brother almost found out, why don't you let go!

Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows.

If we find out, we will fulfill the marriage contract here.

Hua Wu Ke glared at him in shame and anger again, and snorted.

You think beautifully.

Then Hua Wu Ke turned around and stopped looking at him.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke shyly avoiding his gaze, Ye Buhuo didn't care.

Saying that they were fulfilling the engagement at the border was just a joke.

Of course, he must have a grand wedding ceremony every year to let everyone in the world know that Hua Wu Ke is his, Ye Buhuo's, wife.

Conditions here are limited, and Ye Buhuo is unwilling to let Sui Sui suffer any grievances.

After a stroll around the market, Hua Wu Ke found a lot of new little gadgets.

There were forehead ornaments worn by local women, as well as goat milk cakes that Hua Wu Ke had never eaten, and shortbread topped with various nuts.

Hua Wu Ke hugged his arms full and returned to the City Lord's Mansion with satisfaction.

The Xuantie Army had a total of 80,000 soldiers. When Ye Buhuo returned to the capital from Anyang City, he did not bring all 80,000 troops back to the capital but left 30,000 to garrison in Anyang City.

So now there are 50,000 soldiers following him to Beimo Pass, the same number as the Hua family army’s soldiers.

A 10-strong army gathered at Beimo Pass, and these soldiers needed to be properly arranged.

Ye Buhuo stayed with Hua Wuke for only two days before going to the military camp with Hua Rongyu.

The military camp at Beimo Pass is different from the Hua family army’s training ground in the capital, so Hua Wu Ke did not go with Ye Buhuo, but stayed in the city lord’s mansion.

Hua Wu Ke practiced martial arts with Qing Zhu every day and then read some books.

Occasionally, the young city lord would come to play with his new sister.

The weather was nice that day, and Duan Rui came to Hua Wuke's room again.

"Sister, there is a troupe of actors coming from outside the Great Wall. Let's go and see it together."

Hua Zhukong hoped that Duan Rui could become the city lord of Beimo Pass who was praised by everyone, just like his father, so he was very strict with him.

Duan Rui completed today's homework under Hua Zhukong's supervision in the morning, and was then taken by Hua Zhukong to deal with matters at Beimo Pass.

After finally getting a rest, he rushed to find Hua Wu Ke.

"Have you completed all the tasks assigned to you by your grandfather?"

Hua Wu Ke put down the book in his hand, looked up at Duan Rui and asked.

Duan Rui is the same as Hua Wuke.

Both of them are children who grew up alone because their elders were too busy with their work to take care of them, so there is an inexplicable attraction between them.

Duan Rui liked this sister very much the first time he saw Hua Wu Ke.

Sometimes Duan Rui would put aside his unfinished homework to come and play with her, and was caught by Hua Zhukong several times.

"I'm done."

After hearing Duan Rui's affirmative answer, Hua Wu Ke stood up.

She took the fur cloak from Qingzhu and went out with Duan Rui.

When Hua Wu Ke and Duan Rui arrived, the theater was already packed. Fortunately, Duan Rui had booked a room upstairs.

With the servants of the City Lord's Mansion clearing the way in front, Hua Wu Ke finally squeezed through the stairs and stepped into the room.

Not long after I sat down on the chair, I heard the faint voices of spectators coming from below.

"Hey, judging from their appearance, they seem to be a troupe from the north."

"That's right. I didn't expect there would be a troupe from the North."
