The General’s Genius Daughter

Is was clear that the Changlong Emperor let the Princess get involved in their relationship. He was going too far.

But since ancient times, the Emperors had been the strongest. So although it showed that he did plan to let Princess Qianyang separate them, he could also explain that Yun Shimo was only the escort, and it didn’t break any rules at all.

“And then… It is the glory of our country that Princess Jinghua seized the divine weapon. The infanta has amazing strength. Now, there are evil beasts invading in the Rock Hillock Mountain by chance and they have killed hundreds of people. Infanta, please go to the Rock Hillock Mountain with the First Prince to kill evil beasts, calm the chaos and comfort the people there.”

The Emperor continued. Hua Qiyue shocked for a while, and when she wanted to find an excuse, she heard Yun Shimo say slightly, “I’m willing to accompany the Princess.”

Hua Qiyue felt cold all over her body. She didn’t expect Yun Shimo would say yes. She wiped her lips lightly and also said indifferently, “Qiyue will heed your orders!”

When the Changlong Emperor saw that they cooperated with him obediently, he could not help but nod his head lightly. Huangfu Shenglin smiled thankfully. It didn’t occur to him that the things would be so smooth.

He suddenly understood Your Majesty and Father’s mind. He didn’t care about Hua Qiyue’s status. Even if she had the offspring of Yun Shimo, he would still allow him to marry her if she could fall in love with him!

Huangfu Shenglin looked at Hua Qiyue softly and said, “Princess Jinghua, you will have to take care of it three days later.”

Hua Qiyue answered with a slight smile, “You’re welcome!”

People were still very surprised that known as being disobedient, she didn’t resist this time. So did Yun Shimo. Did they fall out with each other secretly?

At that time, dancers began to dance and the musician started to flute a soft tune. The tension in the room had dissipated. There was no special expression in Hua Qiyue’s face, and she was indifferent throughout the night.

Later, Tianci wanted to go to the bathroom. Then Hua Qiyue accompanied him to the back hall, and under the guidance of the little maidservant, they came to the Smooth Pavilion. In the Princess’s palace, the bathrooms were called Smooth Pavilion, which sounded particularly pleasant.

After Tianci entered it, he climbed out of the back window and went to the front of the front hall successfully. He distracted the guards and entered the side hall secretly.

Young as he was, he was also astute. He saw Hongyi’s shoes in front of the hall at once.

He slipped into the hall like a little mouse and stopped in front of the boudoir. This was the place where the guests were, so there were no guards patrolling here.

“That Hua Qiyue will soon be out of the Emperor’s favor. Young master, don’t worry.” Tianci heard a granny’s voice come out.

“Well, that damned woman, if it’s possible, I want to kill her myself!”

Hongyi said through gritted teeth.

“Young master, I hear some voices outside. It seems that some people have sneaked in. Please stay here, young master, I will come back soon!” The granny said. Then she went to the door and opened it. The granny was the fifth venerable master. She looked around the temple for a while but discovered nothing irregular.

“Did the person go in?” She frowned. “The small inner hall is the place for taking showers. Will they be there?”

And she finally went over there.

When she left far, Tianci knocked on the door lightly. After a while, Hongyi came out and opened the door, but saw nobody outside.

“It’s too strange. Who’s there?” Hongyi twisted her eyebrows. She seemed to hear a disorderly voice outside. “Is it the thief who broke into the temple?”

Hongyi went out in a hurry, and then Tianci slipped into her bedroom. When he saw a plate of red fruit on the table, he quickly took out the fruit in his pocket and replaced one of them with it.

“Humph, the little enchantress, how could you dare to speak bad words of my mom? Just wait and see.” Tianci blinked naughtily. When he heard the soft footsteps, he jumped outside and ran away from the open window.

The fifth venerable master came back. She took a look at the room. There was nothing unusual.

Hongyi also returned, “Humph, I met Hua Qiyue! That damned woman… If we weren’t at the palace, I will tear her into pieces!”

Hongyi spoke boldly. But unfortunately, she was too weak. It was impossible for her to hurt Hua Qiyue, let alone lay a finger on her.

“I just heard the voice, but when I went to the small hall to check it, there was nobody. Who on earth is disturbing our sight?” The fifth venerable master said, looking around in confusion.

Hongyi shook her head. “Master, have you forgotten that Qianyang likes keeping cats? I ate her cat when we were in the Tianmen Mountain. Hey, hey, maybe a cat just came in.”

Listening to her words, the fifth venerable master was somewhat convinced. Indeed, she was a Qi Artist in the level of the great completeness of Dragon Diagram. It was impossible for her to find even a small thief in the temple. Then she got rid of her suspicion.

“Well, Hongyi, have a good rest. I will go to bed too. We are busy these days, and we need good breaks. Here is the Return Beauty Water given by Qianyang. It’s good for your injury.”

The fifth venerable master told her. She took a small bottle of liquid medicine from her pocket, put it on the table and left.

Hongyi looked at the plate of fruit on the table and said happily, “Tut-tut, there are so many wonderful fruits in the palace, which can’t be bought or eaten outside.”

Hongyi took one of the red fruits with one hand, the one replaced by Tianci. Then she lay down on the couch, eating it while looking at the magnificent auspicious animal patterns carved on the rooftop of the temple.

She failed to notice that the bottle on the table slowly flew up and drilled out of the window. Soon later, the bottle slowly flew back and landed on the table.

After eating the fruit, Hongyi felt that her stomach was bursting. After all, she had just finished her evening meal.

The dinner prepared by the imperial palace for her and the fifth venerable master was very hearty, which was much more rich and delicious than that in the Heaven Mountain.

Hongyi thought of her red and swollen face. From the bronze mirror, she could found that it would probably swell up tomorrow. She wasn’t seriously injured, and she just looked ugly with the red and swollen face.

But there was a bottle of medicine here, which she would not waste. So she opened it, which was left by the fifth venerable master, and applied some on her face.

Outside the window, a small figure left quickly. With a leap, he jumped to the top of the temple and returned to the Smooth Pavilion quietly.

Just as Tianci came out from the Smooth Pavilion, he and Hua Qiyue heard a scream coming from the side hall.

“Ah… My face… My face…”

The guards also heard the scream. After they found out the situation, the guards’ faces paled in fear and then they reported it to the Emperor.

It turned out that after Hongyi used that liquid medicine, her face began to be corroded by it. Horrible bloodstains appeared on her face, which made her look worse before using it.

However, the bottle of liquid medicine was given by Princess Qianyang. She was furious and immediately plucked out the senior alchemist sent by the Emperor to Princess Hall to confess.

The senior pharmacist had no choice but to be jailed eventually.

At that night, the birthday banquet was over quickly. Hua Qiyue went to the carriage outside the palace with Tianci. He hummed a tune happily, jumped up and down happily on the way.

Hua Qiyue swept her son’s exciting face. Although he was still young, he was very meticulous. It was really a success for him because he had done so many things perfectly and secretly.

“Mom, hahaha, that little enchantress has been disfigured. Humph, she really deserves it.”

Tianci smiled proudly. Hua Qiyue taught him that he should take actions before the enemy with no mercy.

In the Tianyuan Continent, powerful people were respected by others. While nobody dared to help the weak even they were bullied or killed indiscriminately. The rules set by the Emperor were merely words on papers.

“Tianci, no matter what you do, you should be careful and don’t leave traces, otherwise… There will be a constant source of further troubles.” Hua Qiyue smiled faintly, hoping that he wouldn’t have left any flaws.

“Trust me, mom. Humph, I, as your son, did it perfectly!” Tianci whispered. Hua Qiyue smiled and stroked his head gently. If she was in her previous life, she would surely consider Tianci too cruel.

But now she wouldn’t; instead, she felt that Tianci had gained an advantage from his action. His opponents would be in a panic. That was a perfect sneak attack.

Soon they arrived at the back door of the palace. The carriage was waiting for them quietly. Those ministers’ daughters also followed, laughing at Hua Qiyue.

“Tut-tut, it’s a surprise that when infanta is going to marry Yun Shimo soon, suddenly Princess Qianyang appears.”

“Now, here comes a good show. The Emperor intends to let the princess get in between them!”

“Shh, be quiet. Someone might will hear us.”

“I don’t think they can get married at this time. Haha, she could marry Prince Nan in her dreams!”

Those people laughed at Hua Qiyue in low voices. But as a Qi Artist in the level of the great completeness of Cultivation Dimension, her hearing ability was much better than before. Hearing their ridicules, she just glanced back at them and went on the carriage with Tianci with blandly.

Some women would never reflect on themselves but kept judging others. They would be supporting roles forever. Or they even couldn’t be the supporting roles, just those nameless extras in the background scenes.

As soon as Hua Qiyue lifted the curtain, she saw a handsome man sitting calmly in the carriage, waving gently to Tianci, “Come to daddy.”

“When does Yun Shimo come here?”

Thinking of his cheerful words “I’m willing to accompany the Princess” in the back hall, Hua Qiyue felt unpleasant to look at the man. Then she sat by him with a cold face.

Tianci ran to Yun Shimo’s side. His big eyes full of confusion, he asked, “Daddy, why would you promise to be with that Princess? Humph, that silly Princess, she is not as good-looking as mom at all.”

Children said what they wanted, and Hua Qiyue did not know whether to cry or laugh. She dragged Tianci to her side and said, “Tianci, stop talking nonsense. Anyway, your godfather is having fun with her. Why do you have to stop him?”

Yun Shimo smiled. Looking at Hua Qiyue’s angry face, he smiled warmly toward Tianci and said, “Tianci, there are some things you will understand later. Come here, I will show you something.”

Hearing that he had gifts, Tianci was so happy that he immediately rushed to Yun Shimo. Hua Qiyue became speechless. “He will abandon his mother once he has gifts.”

“They’re hidden weapons that I used before. When you are in danger in the future and have not much spiritual energy at that time, you can use them.” Yun Shimo handed Tianci a round bag and taught him how to use them. Hua Qiyue stared at the handsome face. She wanted to ask why he agreed to be with Princess Qianyang all the time.
