The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 163 Ordering Yun Shimo to Accompany Princess Qianyang

While Hua Qiyue and Ji Jing were having small talks, the Emperor was meeting the fifth venerable master and Hongyi from the Heaven Sect in the main hall.

After all, Princess Qianyang was brought up by the fifth venerable master. She was the Emperor’s benefactor. Therefore, in the Changlong Emperor’s heart, they were all honored guests.

“Your Highness, I have heard about you for a long time. When I meet you today, I feel you are really mighty and dignified, which feast our eyes.” The fifth venerable master said some genteel words to praise the Changlong Emperor. As expected, he was very happy.

Changlong Emperor looked at Hongyi, whose head was swollen and made her look like a pig, saying with a smile, “You’re welcome, Left Custodian. The Heaven Sect is the benefactor of Qianyang and me. I’ve heard that you are really powerful, so I’m eager to make friends with you for a long time. But unfortunately, I can’t make my dream come true at that time.”

Princess Qianyang laughed and said immediately, “Your Majesty and Father, now we are relatives and we are closer than friends. By the way, Senior Sister, why did your face become like this?”

Princess Qianyang stared at Hongyi. She was not familiar with her, because the fifth venerable master placed her in a small yard to practice. The yard was the farthest one from the center of the sect.

She seldom went out if she didn’t need to. Or even if she went out for a stroll, it was hard to meet the chief’s favorite granddaughter in the legend.

“Nothing… Nothing happened to my face…” Hongyi quickly lowered her head with tears in her eyes. “Master, then… I had better don’t show up at the banquet. My face had been destroyed. How can I go out to shame our sect?”

The fifth venerable master sighed softly and said, “Then it’s up to you. Which jinx did you provoke? I’m sad for you to have been tortured like this.”

The Emperor took a look at Hongyi. She had severe skin trauma, and she had a broken left arm. She looked very awkward with these injuries.

He had heard about her rumors before. But the more people spread it, the more chaotic it became. And he couldn’t identify who was right or not.

“Senior Sister, who on earth beat you like this? Tell me! Your Majesty and Father is here, maybe he can help you settle this account!”

Princess Qianyang frowned. She thought Hongyi was afraid of being revenged, so she concealed the truth.

“Yes, Yi’er, just tell us. I can also sort him out for you. Your Highness Princess, His Imperial Majesty, there are things you don’t know, Yier was injured a few days ago. After she came back, she was unwilling to talk to us. No matter how we asked or consoled her, she just refused to tell us who that was. Then we had no choice but to take her out to breath some fresh air.” The fifth venerable master explained with a smile. And her eyes were full of love for Hongyi.

“Young master Hongyi, who on earth hurt you like this? Speak it out. If you are wronged, I will help you punish him.” The Changlong Emperor said coldly, with encouragement in his eyes.

Hongyi shook her head at once as if she were timid.

“I’m all right. I’m on the road to recovery soon. Don’t mention the past…”

“Senior Sister, what are you talking about? Your Majesty and Father has a lot of great Qi Artists, as long as you tell us, we will help you get revenge.”

Changlong Emperor smiled and said, “Yes, there are many high-level Qi Artists here. Miss Hongyi, there is no harm in telling us.”

Hongyi hesitated, with bright tears in her eyes. The fifth venerable master tapped her on the shoulder painfully. Under their attention, Hongyi finally slowly told the story.

“Actually… Hua Qiyue beat me up with her Drunken Flower Fan. She flapped it lightly then I was swept to the sky and fell on a huge stone. Fortunately, I used my anima energy to protect myself. Otherwise, I would really be a meat pie then.”

With a soft sigh, she continued while wiping tears, “I didn’t offend her much, but she just couldn’t let me go.”

Changlong Emperor’s face grew gloomy. He picked up his teacup listlessly and asked, “Was Princess Jinghua really so arrogant like that?”

“Your Majesty, Princess Jinghua… It seems that she has seized a divine weapon recently, called Drunken Flower Fan. I didn’t unexpected that it was so powerful. It is estimated that ten hundred thousands of elite soldiers or Qi Artists will be swept away by her! We all know that it’s made by a Qi Artist in Holy God. It must be invincible.” The fifth venerable master frowned and said in a unhappy tone.

Although Hongyi and the fifth venerable master didn’t say anything, Changlong Emperor was obviously unhappy.

The sentence, “it is estimated that ten hundred thousands of elite soldiers or Qi Artists will be swept away by her,” said by the fifth venerable master startled him, making him feel uncomfortable.

If Hua Qiyue became his adversary, then the Royal family wouldn’t have the ability to defend itself? It was the divine weapon. It was so powerful that even could destroy several countries. Tens of millions of human beings were like ants in front of divine weapons.

“It was her… Your Majesty and Father, I heard that Princess Jinghua, Hua Qiyue, is a great Qi Artist. Well, I didn’t expect that even a woman could be so fierce. She is too arrogant. Your Majesty and Father, you just gave her gifts several days ago!” Princess Qianyang said with wide eyes. And there was something reproachful in her words.

Changlong Emperor was very embarrassed in a sudden.

“Your Highness, what are you talking about?” The fifth venerable master said “generously” in a hurry, “Although Princess Jinghua is arrogant, she is a Qi Artist with a divine weapon. If a country has such a powerful Qi Artist, it must treat her well.”

What she said meant that the state didn’t dare to offend such a Qi Artist, which was, of course, the same as what Changlong Emperor was thinking.

The speaker might say it unintentionally, but the listener would take it seriously.

It was probably how misunderstandings came out in the world.

The fifth venerable master withdrew with Hongyi, saying that they would go to another hall to have a rest. They came to celebrate the birth of Princess Qianyang, but because of Hongyi’s “face”, they could only rest in the side hall.

Princess Qianyang was a little unhappy, but she still didn’t show it. She went to the backyard with the Emperor gloomily.

The front hall and the back hall’s doors were opposite each other. People had to go through the backyard to the back hall. When they reached the backyard garden, Princess Qianyang suddenly saw a man in black standing in the Condensate Pavilion and talking with another man indifferently.

Although the man was in black, his handsome face was as cool as snow lotus, and his eyes were shining like stars, making her want to admire.

“He… Who is he?” Princess Qianyang stood her ground. Although she had returned for one month, Concubine Xian had been watching her, and she had to learn the etiquette of the palace. So she never stepped outside, nor had she met many men.

“He… He is Prince Nan, Yun Shimo.” The Changlong Emperor glanced at Yun Shimo lightly, and then looked at his beloved daughter. He felt depressed. Looking at her reaction, she was mostly fascinated by him.

“How handsome he is…” Princess Qianyang whispered, with fanatical light in her eyes. Then she had thoroughly forgotten the etiquette in the palace and ran to him excitedly.

Changlong Emperor shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Princess Qianyang had fallen in love with Yun Shimo. That would be troublesome. Because he had announced his wedding date with Hua Qiyue, and they were ready to marry.

But what should he do if Princess Qianyang really loved him? Changlong Emperor felt guilty to Qianyang and he tried to make up for his love for her all the time.

However, undoubtedly, what was ahead of him today was a difficult problem.

“Yun Shimo, I’m Qianyang. I didn’t expect you to be the famous Prince Nan!” Princess Qianyang ran into the Condensate Pavilion and laughed. She was so lively and unrestrained as if she were a kid from the Jianghu.

Both Ji Feng and Yun Shimo looked at the beautiful little girl running out in surprise. It looked like Princess Qianyang was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She and the Concubine Xian looked alike in appearance, which was very gooding-looking.

“Princess Qianyang. It’s my honor to meet you.” Yun Shimo just responded faintly.

Ji Feng smiled gently and said, “Princess Qianyang, you can only see Brother Yun now. My name is Ji Feng. I didn’t expect that you are so young and lovely.”

Ji Feng’s words made Princess Qianyang feel shy. She secretly glanced at Yun Shimo, but he was looking at the back hall, with tenderness in his eyes.

Her heart beat fast. If he could look her so tenderly, she would absolutely black out happily. He was so perfect that she could seldom find a man like him in the world. Princess Qianyang vowed to make him her husband secretly.

She grew up in the Heaven Sect. Influenced by the personality of the fifth venerable master, she was brave and never bound by the common customs.

“Qianyang, we will have dinner soon. The guests are waiting for you. We should go now.” At this time, Changlong Emperor smiled lightly. An idea came to him in a moment.

Perhaps this method was the perfect one: Let Yun Shimo marry Princess Qianyang, and let the First Prince marry Hua Qiyue, which could satisfy both sides.

Yun Shimo and Ji Feng made a ceremony to the Emperor, and then the four people went to the back hall laughing and talking.

At the same time.

Tianci took out a red fruit from his pocket. He blinked his eyes and put it back again.

Hua Qiyue watched all this silently. She didn’t know what he wanted to do. But the child had grown up, and she should wait and see his actions.

Then the First Prince, Huangfu Shenglin came. He walked straight towards Hua Qiyue with a tender smile, asking, “Qiyue, you come so early. How do you do these days?”

Hua Qiyue politely nodded to him, answering, “Fine, thank you for your concern, Prince.”

“Qiyue, don’t be so polite to me. I really feel we were stranges if you talk to me like that.” Huangfu Shenglin frowned, with a slight disappointment in his eyes. Hua Qiyue just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Huangfu Shenglin looked at Tianci who stared at him and said, “Tianci, you’re here too. How about going to fight evil beasts together when you are free?”

Tianci’s eyes suddenly lit up after hearing that, “Okay! Okay! I really want to go to the Magic Beasts Forest. But my mom always has no time to take me there!”

Huangfu Shenglin showed his gentle smile. He liked this lovely and lively little fellow very much. He took out a chain made of Magic Core and said, “Tianci, this chain is for you. It can help you absorb more anima energy. I believe you will like it very much!”

Tianci blinked, looking at Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue couldn’t refuse Huangfu Shenglin, so she nodded to him. Tianci received it happily and sat opposite to her with Huangfu Shenglin.

Suddenly, they heard a burst of cheerful laughter, “Haha, it’s turned out that Qianyang and Prince Nan are so well-matched. You all like the chicken soup with flower ginseng in Yangcheng. The city is not far from here. You must invite the princess to drink that famous ginseng soup someday!”

The Emperor’s voice was so loud that everyone in the back hall could hear it clearly. People looked at Hua Qiyue one after another. To their surprise, the Emperor let her betrothed husband accompany Princess Qianyang to drink ginseng soup at this time.
