The General’s Genius Daughter

The fifth apprentice of the first batch, Mo Yuning’s fifth venerable master, said lightly.

“What’s the good idea? Tell me now!” The female chief gnashed her teeth in anger and said, “I have never lay my hand on her. But now, Hongyi was hurt so seriously. I must kill Hua Qiyue to blow off some steam!”

The fifth venerable master smiled and continued, “Chief, don’t you forget that our apprentice Qianyang went back to the palace with the Emperor a month ago? She is the Emperor’s favorite daughter. Fortunately, our Heaven Sect adopted her. When Princess Qianyang was lost, the Emperor and the Concubine Xian offered millions of taels of gold to find her.”

The female chief raised her eyebrows. Of course, she remembered it. After Princess Qianyang returned to the imperial palace, the Changlong Emperor also sent ten thousand taels of gold and countless jewelry as the reward to the Heaven Sect.

“Yes, I remember Qianyang. She is the most outstanding apprentice of our sect.”

She was a talented girl. The Heaven Sect once had attached great importance to her. But she had to return to the capital later, which made the fifth venerable master who adopted her very frustrated. It took some efforts for her to have a smart apprentice, but she was the Emperor’s beloved daughter.

The fifth venerable master went to the chief’s side, explaining her plan to her in some details.

After listening to her words, the chief nodded and said, “This is a good idea, but what if the Emperor doesn’t believe us?”

“Chief, the Emperors are suspicious. Although he won’t mess with Hua Qiyue for us, after all, now she is powerful, and she has the Prince Nan. So, the Emperor must begin to suspect her if we do that.”

The fifth venerable master laughed. The chief squinted and thought for a while. Then she found that she was right, so she ordered the five venerable master to do it that way.

After discussing, the female chief came into Hongyi’s room. Looking at the sleeping girl covered with wounds, her sight turned cold at once.

Hongyi was covered with wounds. Luckily, the wounds didn’t imperil her life. However, in the chief’s eyes, such injuries had touched her bottom line.

“Hua Qiyue! I will surely find a way to tear you to shreds. How dare you hurt my granddaughter!”

—

Hua Qiyue would marry Yun Shimo on the tenth of September. There was still a month for their marriage, but everyone in the capital had known the news.

The Prince Nan’s mansion and the Hua’s Mansion were also busy in preparing the happy event. While Huangfu Shenglin was increasingly upset. After all, he loved Hua Qiyue. In his heart, no woman could compare with her.

Hua Qiyue had both ability and political integrity. Now, she owned a divine weapon, which was almost invincible in the world. If he could marry her, it was more hopeful for him to strengthen the Royal family’s power.

On one morning, Lv Xin stumbled into the inner courtyard when Hua Qiyue was teaching Tianci the Spirit Summoning Art.

“Miss… Miss! There is good news! Good news!” Lv Xin said happily, “The Emperor sent you fifty thousand taels of gold, with many boxes of jewelry and many precious silks, to congratulate you on getting the divine weapon!”

Lv Xin’s eyes were shining. Of course, she saw the soldiers carrying boxes of jewelry into the hall. After they put them in the hall, the whole room was illuminated by the light of them immediately.

Hua Qiyue frowned and thought, “The Emperor send gifts to me at this moment. They must be pulling some strings.”

The Changlong Emperor was not an ordinary man. After all, she was the most powerful woman in the Changjing Kingdom. Moreover, Prince Nan was also powerful. If they really got married, the Changlong Emperor might feel stressed.

In fact, a senior Qi Artist was worth hundreds of thousands of ordinary Qi Artists.

“Miss, hurry up. Eunuch Zhou also brought an invitation, saying that he would hand it to you!” Youshui also hurried her to go.

Hua Qiyue stood up slowly. Tianci blinked his eyes, asking, “Mom, does that mean we will have a lot of money in the future?”

Hua Qiyue laughed. The little fellow loved money at his young age.

“Yes, we will have money to burn. But we had better be powerful first. Otherwise, it’s useless to be rich. Let’s go and have a look.” Hua Qiyue took Tianci’s hand, walking toward the main hall.

When they arrived there, Eunuch Zhou and others were greeting Old Madame Hua and Hua Liting. When he saw Hua Qiyue, Eunuch Zhou laughed happily. His smile was warmer than the sun.

“Congratulations, Princess Jinghua! When the Emperor heard that you had seized the divine weapon, he prepared those especially for you. By the way, the Emperor also sent an invitation to you to go to Princess Qianyangs’s new Princess Hall for dinner three days later.”

Then Eunuch Zhou handed a red invitation to Hua Qiyue respectfully with both hands.

Hua Qiyue took it over and laughed. “Oh, thanks! You’ve had a long journey! Lv Xin, take one hundred taels of gold to Eunuch!”

Hua Qiyue was generous. It was one hundred taels of gold! Some Eunuchs could not earn this amount in his lifetime. So, Eunuch Zhou liked to come here to send messages to Hua Qiyue.

Eunuch Zhou thanked her happily. Then he left after a short greeting.

Old Madame Hua and Hua Liting looked at each other. They didn’t know whether they should be happy or sad. Hua Qiyue was in the limelight nowadays, which had attracted much attention from many Qi Artists.

Hua Qiyue took a look at the two boxes of gold and three boxes of jewelry in the main hall. They were shining with golden brilliant rays, which made her eyes water.

“Qiyue, the Emperor rewarded you with so many jewels, it seems that you should give several magic drugs to Princess Qianyang.” Hua Liting asked cautiously.

Old Madame Hua also nodded and said, “Your father is right, one good turn deserves another. I heard that Princess Qianyang returned just recently, and she was the Emperor’s most beloved daughter. After all, she is the daughter of the Concubine Xian who the Emperor loved most before. But I don’t know her temper. Qiyue, you had better not mess with her.”

Hua Qiyue answered with a light smile, “Daddy, grandmother, trust me! I know what to do in the future.”

They were afraid that she was too high-profile and offended Princess Qianyang, which would make the Changlong Emperor more suspicious about her.

After all, emperors always were suspicious. When she married Yun Shimo, they would be more powerful. How could the Emperor not be alert to her?

With a sigh, Old Madame Hua waved her hand to let minions carry these boxes of jewelry into the warehouse. Hua Qiyue gave a hundred taels of gold to twenty minions in the mansion each as the reward. At present, everyone was very happy, and they were full of gratitude for her.

“Yue Er, although you are famous now, the wind will destroy the trees in the forest. You have to understand this principle. I don’t want to be rich. I just want to live in the world with a sound and safe family.” Old Madame called Hua Qiyue to her side and said to her thoughtfully.

Hua Qiyue understood her concerns. Hua Liting also showed a dignified look.

They were very happy that the Emperor attached great importance to Hua Qiyue. But Old Madame’s words were reasonable.

Tianci began to wander around the courtyard. He saw the servants carrying all the jewelry into the warehouse. He also followed in and took out some strings of jewelry to play with. He circled a few folds of them around his neck.

All of them were amused by Tianci’s behavior. The little fellow also grinned happily.

Hua Qiyue felt warm deep down in her heart. “I must become stronger and stronger to protect Tianci. I must eliminate whoever tries to hurt him.”

Then, Ouyang Youche came to pay a visit. For this man who she met several times, Hua Qiyue didn’t like him or hate him. Anyway, she took the last transaction as a reward to Huangfu Shenglin. Ouyang Youchen sent some Qi Artists to help Huangfu Shenglin, which enabled him to successfully kill those people who followed Huangfu Changyu.

But this time, Ouyang Youcheng brought several useful news.

First, Princess Qianyang was adopted by the Heaven Sect. The Emperor had found her several days ago and brought her back with honor.

Second, Huangfu Shenglin would like to choose her as the Princess Consort.

The third one, after Ouyang’s family was reorganized by Ouyang Youche, the Changlong Emperor might intentionally take Ouyang Liuer as the Princess Consort.

That was to say, the Changlong Emperor took a fancy to Ouyang’s family and was ready to spare no effort to support them.

Hua Qiyue understood his idea. After all, she would marry the Prince Nan, and then Yun Shimo would be more powerful. So, the Changlong Emperor must hold up a strong family to make a balance.

However, Ouyang Youchen made it clear that he won’t be the enemy of Hua Qiyue. After all, he had witnessed how powerful she was. If Ouyang’s family was really antagonistic to Hua Qiyue, there would be no benefit to him.

Before Ouyang Youche left, Yun Shimo came here. Tianci especially liked to stay with Yun Shimo. Under his guidance for half a day, Tianci got a promotion to a higher level.

Three days passed in peace. At that night, Hua Qiyue led Tianci to the newly built palace of Princess Qianyang. It was built in a hundred miles of the palace. It was originally built for Princess Huizhen, but something bad happened to her. Naturally, it couldn’t belong to her anymore.

In the Emperor’s heart, Princess Huizhen thoroughly disappointed him. Now with Princess Qianyang’s return, his love to Princess Huizhen and others was greatly taken away.

Princess Qianyang’s Princess Hall was carefully decorated with jade. There were some famous flowers and precious trees planted in the front yard and back yard.

The birthday banquet was held in the main hall of the backyard. When Hua Qiyue arrived, there were many people sitting in the hall, and all of them were the ministers’ daughters and childes.

“Princess Jinghua is coming. Haha, it seems that she doesn’t bring her Drunken Flower Fan.”

“Yes, I heard that she grabbed the Drunken Flower Fan. And she did it with the help of the First Prince.”

“Tut, tut, the First Prince really loved her. But unfortunately, she only likes Prince Nan.”

“What a pity! The First Prince wastes his time.”

The crowd whispered. When Hua Qiyue appeared, everyone was attracted by her, as if she were the bright sun.

Some young childes’ gazes at her were as hot as candlelights. Unfortunately, she was going to marry Prince Nan soon. Even the First Prince had no chance, let alone them.

“Sister Qiyue, you are coming! Come and sit here!” Ji Jing jumped to welcome her first. She took Hua Qiyue’s hand and laughed. Princess Huiya was sitting in front of that long table, smiling gently at Hua Qiyue.

Tianci’s eyes were shining. Although he was young, he liked beautiful ladies as well. He sprung to Princess Huiya and sat next to her.

Princess Huiya’s maidservant was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Princess Huiya.

“Didn’t your eldest brother come?” Hua Qiyue looked around curiously, and she didn’t see Ji Feng and Yun Shimo.

Huangfu Xuan sat in the middle of the opposite side. He looked at Hua Qiyue, and then looked away in a panic.

“He is here. Now he is taking a walk with Prince Nan in the back garden… Sister Qiyue, I heard that the little devil, Hongyi is coming tonight!” Ji Jing’s face was slightly gloomy. After all, Hongyi was the granddaughter of the Heaven Sect’s chief, and Qianyang Princess was adopted by them.
