The General's Genius Daughter

But the First Prince cited many examples that there were several ancestor emperors in the Changjing Kingdom chose the woman who had given birth to other’s children. Those women possessed both political integrity and ability, but they just met loafers.

Finally, the Changlong Emperor had no choice but to say that if he moved Hua Qiyue, he would have consented to his marriage.

So Huangfu Shenglin came here happily.

But he didn’t expect to meet Yun Shimo here. Seeing how intimate he and Tianci were, Huangfu Shenglin had a horrible feeling.

“My fiancee and son are here. How can I not be here?” Yun Shimo replied flatly, with a ray of sternness in his eyes.

Huangfu Shenglin smiled awkwardly. “Qiyue is my benefactor. So I want to invite her to the palace. But it doesn’t matter if you are not free. I will give a banquet to thank you when you are available.”

Hua Qiyue showed her charming smiles, which made Yun Shimo feel angry, then she said politely, “You’re welcome, First Prince. We just took what we need. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Huangfu Shenglin said nothing but smiled. Hua Qiyue shared what she had learned with Ji Feng and others. Huangfu Shenglin also listened attentively around her.

As a mighty Qi Artist like Hua Qiyue, she didn’t need to learn the final hit of the Ji family at all. What she should do was to memorize the final hits taught by the tiny hare and Tianpi correctly.

Generally speaking, the final hit consisted of three levels, which were the first level, the medium level, and the great completeness.

At the beginning of learning the final hit, the power was not as big as that of the medium level. When at the medium level, the power was five times greater than before, and at the great completeness, it was ten times as powerful as at the beginning.

So there was nothing Hua Qiyue could teach Ji Jing and others but what she had learnt.

Huangfu Shenglin had been sitting around listening to the experience shared by Hua Qiyue, while Yun Shimo was teaching Tianci Qi Art in another small hall, and there wasn’t any relaxed look on his face.

The day passed in a short time. Then Hua Qiyue returned home with Tianci.

After thinking about it for a day, she felt that Tianci didn’t need to take tests for a position in the government. Those were really not important to him.

The Tianyuan Continent respected influential people. The future of Qi Artists was tens of millions times brighter than that of the Number One in liberal arts. What’s more, they could protect themselves.

And Tianci had known enough words, so as long as he wasn’t illiterate, it didn’t matter.

So she didn’t want Tianci to go to school tomorrow. Instead, she could guide him personally, or let Yun Shimo teach him.

When at the period of the day from 5 pm to 7 pm, Hua Qiyue was surprised that the First Prince came to visit her in person. Both old Madame Hua and Hua Liting were very happy. Whether Hua Qiyue married the First Prince or the Prince Nan, they were very happy.

Of course, the most important thing was that Hua Qiyue loved him.

“Welcome to my home, the First Prince! You have made my home look so brilliant!” Hua Liting smiled and respectfully invited Huangfu Shenglin to the hall.

“Haha, actually, I come here to talk to Qiyue.”

Huangfu Shenglin smiled kindly. He didn’t put on airs as he was superior to others at all. That was why after he became the First Prince: Countless people supported him.

“I see. Qiyue is teaching Tianci about Qi Art in the Cuihua Court. You seldom come here, First Prince. Liting, show the First Prince around there!”

The Old Madame said with a smile. She was so happy that the First Prince came to talk with Hua Qiyue.

“Thank you, Old Madame. Well, I will go to the Cuihua Court to see Qiyue first.” Huangfu Shenglin said politely. The Old Madame hurried to send him away. Looking at his tall figure, her heart was full of joy.

“Old Madame, the Prince Nan admires her. If the First Prince also falls in love with the First Miss, then… What should she do? Whichever she chooses, it seems that she will offend one…” At this time, Nanny Wang spoke softly.

The Old Madame was shocked in a while and felt worried suddenly. But when she thought of Hua Qiyue’s face, which was beautiful and full of confident, she shook her head and replied, “No, Qiyue will handle it well. And… If both of them are sincere to her, I believe they won’t blame her.”

Nanny Wang sighed softly. “She would also find it troublesome if too many people loved her. If the First Miss loved the Prince Nan but was assigned by the Emperor to marry the First Prince, it would be terrible!”

Hua Qiyue was teaching Tianci about Qi Art in the Cuihua Court. She let him calm down and absorb anima energy carefully.

Tianci was extremely smart. So he learned so fast that Hua Qiyue didn’t need to spend much time guiding him. Then Lv Xin tiptoed in to ask Hua Qiyue to meet the First Prince.

Having Caiqing and Caining protect Tianci there, Hua Qiyue walked out of the backyard. She saw the First Prince sitting in the Watching-moon Pavilion, drinking with Hua Liting. When he noticed that Hua Qiyue came step by step, he stood up.

“Nice to meet you, First Prince. Why do you have time to come here?” Hua Qiyue said with a smile. But in her heart, she thought that others must say that she was badly behaved and she was a dangerous beauty because the First Prince often came to her home at night, right?

Huangfu Shenglin looked at her gently, and Hua Liting said kindly, “Qiyue, be polite to the First Prince. It is so sincere that the First Prince comes to see you at night in his spare time. I will leave soon. So you should accompany him on enjoying our Peach Blossom Wine slowly.”

Watching Hua Liting saying goodbye to the First Prince, Hua Qiyue felt helpless but could not say anything. When he left, Huangfu Shenglin’s face turned more gentle, which looked like the morning light of early spring, tender and warm, under the silver moonlight.

“Qiyue, have you found Hua Mengshi this time when you went to the Green Mountain Temple? You’re not hurt, are you?”

Huangfu Shenglin smiled faintly. He couldn’t have made such a one-sided courtship as Huangfu Changyu. Naturally, he had to test her carefully.

“Yes. My second sister left the Green Mountain Temple herself, and no one knew where she was going.” Hua Qiyue laughed. She poured wine into Huangfu Shenglin’s glass with her nimble and attractive scallion-white fingers.

Huangfu Shenglin was slightly surprised. “I heard… you went there with the Prince Nan. And the Princess Mingzhu was missing.”

Then Hua Qiyue remembered that she didn’t report that they met the Palace Leader of the Dark Sect in the Yuewu Kingdom. “Didn’t Yun Shimo report it to the palace?

“It seemed that he was more familiar with the Emperor.”

“Didn’t the Prince Nan go to the palace to report the event about the Princess Mingzhu? Or did her maidservant conceal this fact?”

Hua Qiyue could not help frowning. However, Huangfu Shenglin remembered Prince Gong had imprisoned Princess Mingzhu’s maidservant.

“I see. Maybe the Prince Gong was afraid that her reputation would be ruined after she returned back if her matter was leaked out. So he imprisoned her maidservant… The Princess Mingzhu was seized by the eleventh Palace Leader of the Dark Sect.”

Hua Qiyue said calmly. But she didn’t mention the story that the Princess Mingzhu tempted the Prince Nan.

Although she was hateful, she was also pitiful. They believed that she would not have a good ending when she was caught by Lin Qi.

“It explains. Which Dark Sect are you talking about? The Dark Sect in the Yuewu Kingdom?”

Huangfu Shenglin was shocked and his face became heavy.

“Yes. I heard that the Dark Sect was very powerful, and even the King of Yuewu can’t win them over or provoke them. We guess that they wanted to set up those underground branches here to devour us.” Hua Qiyue explained calmly. She had seen Lin Qi’s tricks. There must be some powerful divine weapons in his hand that could let people inadvertently be sucked into the temple.

Divine weapons were more advanced than spirit weapons, but they were scarce in this world.

For Hua Qiyue, divine weapons were more useful to her. Because generally speaking, she couldn’t get much power from spirit weapons, so if she wanted to buy weapons, she must choose the ones in the level of divine weapons.

Huangfu Shenglin’s face became more serious. “I have heard the Dark Sect before, our enemy has not been able to conquer this sect, and so even if the Yuewu Kingdom has the ambition to defeat other countries, it dares not to act rashly. So I have to report this to Your Majesty and Father.”

Hua Qiyue didn’t say no to him. Anyway, she didn’t want to take part in the country’s affairs.

“Qiyue, thank you very much for your help. Without you, I would not have been the First Prince, and someone would have murdered Your Majesty and Father. There are not many women having both ability and political integrity like you, and you are the only one in the world…” Huangfu Shenglin changed the subject and looked at Hua Qiyue gently.

“No matter what you need or what you suffer, just tell me, then I promise that I will do it for you.”

Err…

“Was it a love confession?”

Hua Qiyue paused and then smiled calmly. “First Prince, now I have everything. So you don’t need to worry about what I need.”

Huangfu Shenglin’s words were a euphemistic love confession. Hua Qiyue’s reply made him feel sad, but he still laughed. Since ancient times, beautiful women had been hard to get. If Hua Qiyue was easy to get, then what kind of beauty was she?

The more excellent a woman was, the harder it was to pursue her.

“That’s all right. If you need me in the future, Qiyue, I hope I am the first man you think of.” Huangfu Shenglin smiled slightly. “And I like Tianci too. I don’t mind taking care of him.”

He had mentioned that he didn’t mind her son, so he couldn’t say more. He was afraid that Hua Qiyue would be unhappy if he said too much. So Huangfu Shenglin stopped in time smartly.

Hua Qiyue said with a slight smile, “First Prince, you seem drunk.”

“No, I can drink more than a dozen glasses!” Huangfu Shenglin laughed heartily. Since there was no positive answer from her, he didn’t force her. But he wouldn’t give up so easily.

Then Hua Qiyue poured another glass of wine to Huangfu Shenglin. He picked it up and took a shallow sip of the fragrant Peach Blossom Wine, feeling that he was floating in the air.

He looked at Hua Qiyue on the other side. She was in a moon-white gown and looked as holy as an immortal in the moonlight. Her face was so beautiful that she attracted him deeply.

“By the way, Shui Qianruo… It seemed that he has escaped.” After hesitation, Huangfu Shenglin suddenly told her.

Hua Qiyue twisted her eyebrows slightly. Shui Qianruo was very tricky. Although he would not be her opponent, she was still a little worried because she couldn’t always prevent him.

“Wasn’t he killed? How could he run away again?”

“On that day, an evil beast suddenly appeared on the altar. People were all busy dealing with it. Shui Qianruo might pretend to drink poisonous liquor. Then he took the opportunity to escape. So you should be careful during this period.”

Huangfu Shenglin said worriedly, “How about… sending you a few more people as your security guards?”

“Thanks, First Prince, we can’t defend Shui Qianruo well. Luckily, Tianci and I are immune to poisons…”

“Unless he could get the superior poisonous insects like Ice Venomous Insect.”

It was the “god worm” of the Icy Sect. In general, outsiders were impossible to have them.

Yun Shimo had asked someone to investigate the Ice Venomous Insect Hua Qiyue suffered on that day. They believed they would find an answer soon.

Huangfu Shenglin was not depressed by the refusal of Hua Qiyue. Instead, he became braver. When Hua Qiyue returned the spiritual stone to him, he also wanted to give it to her again.
