The General’s Genius Daughter

Chapter 115



Chapter 115 The Conspiracies

Liu Mo’s face became and he read something from his son’s eyes, so, he was a little worried.

“Shaoming, it depends on you this time. Hua Qiyue is the enemy of our family. Do you know that Princess Huizhen was framed by her? Besides, the Queen has already appointed someone to deal with her, but unfortunately, Hua Qiyue was too cunning…”

“What?” Liu Shaoming cried and looked at Liu Mo in an incredible look.

And then Liu Mo retold what Queen Liu had said.

Liu Shaoming was extremely angry and said, “Why did she do this to the princess since we have no resentment with Hua Qiyue?”

Liu Mo sighed slightly and said, “I don’t know. But Hua Qiyue is indeed the strongest enemy of our family because she knows that the Queen intends to deal with her. Shaoming, if the Queen falls from power, then… we’ll be treated as an eyesore by the Emperor who will definitely kill us! So, you’ll do what Uncle Zhong tells you.”

Liu Shaoming frowned because he couldn’t believe what Liu Mo had said, saying, “Dad, Hua Qiyue doesn’t look like a vicious person.”

“Shaoming, you like Hua Qiyue, don’t you?” Liu Mo said and sounded little severe, “Hua Qiyue is the enemy of our family and we’ll eliminate her on day!”

Liu Shaoming felt very depressed and uncomfortable as if his heart were heavily beaten by something, but he still smiled coldly and said, “Dad, it’s impossible. I won’t like this kind of woman! Relax, I’ll finish everything perfectly and no one will find a loophole.”

Liu Mo was relieved after Liu Shaoming assured him. After all, Hua Qiyue was an extraordinary woman whose beauty attracted everyone in this country.

Everything would be easy to handle since Liu Shaoming had promised Liu Mo. And Liu Shaoming had never let his father down except that he was bad-tempered and had the impatient disposition.

Liu Mo hoped that Hua Qiyue would thoroughly fail and become no more a threat to the Liu’s family.

At nightfall on the third day.

In the capital, there were few people walking on the street, and other pedestrians or carriages were all hurriedly went out of the city.

When Hua Qiyue took Tianci to the bank of Wangyue River, both sides of the river had been ablazed with lights which looked like fireworks and lanterns. And the hawkers were constantly advertising their goods by shouting.

But the riversides were occupied with all kinds of flowers which were very famous in Changjing Kingdom, and there were also rare kinds of flowers from other countries.

On a ground of the left riverside, there was a large stage where the Qi Art contest of Four Great Families would be held.

Hua Qiyue looked around, only to see that there were four luxury boats that were decorated with flowers. On the first boat, lines of Qi Artists and Palace Guards could be dimly seen standing together tightly, and it seemed that the Emperor and the Queen should be on this boat.

Hua Qiyue thought that this time, Changlong Emperor would share happiness with his people just like he did last time when he watched the contest. Thus, there either were honoured guests or was something that would happen.

“Mom, look, those flowers are so beautiful… Wow!”

Tianci blushed with excitement because he seldom attended the flower fairs, even Hua Qiyue’s previous existence seldom took him out, so, Hua Qiyue would feel guilty about it.

“Do you like it? I’ll show you around!” Hua Qiyue slightly smiled and said. Caining and Caiqing, as well as Lv Xin and Youshui, followed them.

Although there were many people, no one dared to attack Tianci because the Emperor was there after all.

Hua Qiyue took Tianci around and had some meatballs.

When Hua Qiyue and Tianci got back to the front of the boat again, two maidservants hurriedly came and said, “Princess Jinghua, First Prince has been waiting for you for a long while, please follow us.”

Hua Qiyue paused because she didn’t expect that these two maidservants also knew her, it seemed that she was very famous.

The maidservants took Hua Qiyue to the second boat. There were also Palace Guards and Qi Artists on the second boat, but it wasn’t heavily guarded as the first boat.

Hua Qiyue got on the boat and entered the cabin,only to see the cabin was decorated to a luxury hall in which many guests knew Hua Qiyue.

First Prince sat at the table in the center and was surrounded by ladies and childes from big families among whom Hua Qiyue knew Ji Feng, Ji Jing and Yun Shimo.

Of course, Ouyang Liuer and Princess Mingzhu, who disliked Hua Qiyue very much, were also present.

“Here comes Princess Jinghua, please come in, please come in!” First Prince stood up and said, suddenly cheering up.

This woman was in a light green long dress which drew her delicate and graceful figure, and her comely appearance looked as glaring as light.

Every time when First Prince met Hua Qiyue, she would fascinate him, so, it would be great for him to marry her.

“It’s my honor to meet Your Highness, Prince Nan and Eleventh Prince,” Hua Qiyue greeted them. Ji Jing came immediately and said, “Sister Qiyue, you finally come.”

Hua Qiyue nodded and smile with curved eyes. Two maidservants took her to the table that was the closest one to First Prince’s seat.

Ji Jing had to go back to her seat sullenly. While Hua Qiyue noticed that Hua Xiaoyi and Hua Mengshi also came and sat together on her left.

The second boat was loaded with ladies and childes from big families, so, they had many common topic to talk about and the atmosphere was very lively. While First Prince looked to Hua Qiyue and chatted with her. Seeing this, Yun Shimo, who sat on the other side, pouted but said nothing.

Ji Feng noticed that Tianci stayed alone and felt boring, so, he decided to took Tianci outside the boat to show him around. Tianci was very glad because he didn’t like staying in the boat. In Tianci’s mind, he thought that seeing the flowers outside the boat was better than staying in the boat because he didn’t know about the adult’s world.

While Ji Jing stayed in the boat and kept an eye on Hua Qiyue, after all, Hua Qiyue was her ideal sister-in-law.

“Princess Jinghua, actually, my father and queen mother have honoured guests today, so, they divided all the guests into two part and arranged that they would get on different boats, otherwise, father and queen mother will share their happiness with us. The honoured guests are actually the envoy and the Tenth Highness from Chexue Kingdom. Those hundreds of pots of flowers are introduced from Chexue Kingdom,” First Prince smiled slightly and said. Hua Qiyue finally understood why the Emperor and the Queen were in the first boat.

Chexue Kingdom, which was very strong, was one of the countries that were friendly with Changjing Kingdom and was at the same level with Changjing Kingdom.

Changjing Kingdom and Chexue Kingdom had been friends with each other for hundreds of years since the previous Princess Lingyu married Senior Prince Hui.

“I see. No wonder I saw many foreign flowers,” Hua Qiyue smiled and said, “It’s very generous of Chexue Kingdom to send us these famous and exotic flowers which surprised us a lot.”

“Ineed, this time, the Tenth Highness came to Changjing for marriage alliance. It’s said that… my father is going to allow Princess Mingzhu to marry the Tenth Highness!” First Prince told Hua Qiyue the news which was known by nobody except the Emperor.

Undoubtedly, First Prince was so amiable to Hua Qiyue because he liked her very much.

“Allow them to marry each other?” Hua Qiyue tilted her head slightly and looked at Princess Mingzhu who was chatting with Ouyang Liuer.

Although this woman was so jealous of Hua Qiyue but she wasn’t a bad person. So, Hua Qiyue wasn’t either good or bad to her, and Hua Qiyue held the view that she wouldn’t attack others if other people didn’t hurt her.

Nobody knew what kind of person the Tenth Highness was, but it was the Emperor’s order, so, Princess Mingzhu could do nothing but marry him even if she didn’t like him.

As the victim of the royal family, she was so poor.

Hua Qiyue frowned and thought, “If I’m asked to marry a man I don’t know… No! I’m a Qi Artist of genius and I master Spirit Summoning Art that nobody knows. And the Emperor won’t order a senior Qi Artist to marry another person because this is a rule of at least 1,000 years.”

“The Tenth Highness is handsome and dignified, and he is a good choice,” First Prince smiled and said. He gently handed a plate of peeled black pearl grapes in front of him to Hua Qiyue. Black pearl grape was of the best quality in Changjing Kingdom which could only be enjoyed by the royal family.

Black pearl grape was invented by a genius who grafted passion fruit onto black grapes and got black pearl grape which was only owned by the royal family.

“This kind of black pearl grape tastes very good, you should have some,” First Prince said amiably.

“Thanks for Your Highness’s bestowal,” Hua Qiyue said politely.

“Please be casual, Qiyue, I regard you as my friend,” Huangfu Changyu said and unintentionally glanced at Eleventh Prince who sat in a corner.

Eleventh Prince followed Hua Qiyue to enter the boat. Although there was no reserved seat for him, First Prince still arranged a seat for him, considering his status.

In the past, Eleventh Prince would hardly sit together with First Prince, but this time, his reaction was very unexpected.

Eleventh Prince was chatting with some childes from big families calmly and didn’t cared about First Prince.

First Prince was very smug about it and thought, “Look, no matter what kind of woman she is, she has to obey me as long as she meet me.”

After all, he was the First Prince, while Eleventh Prince was a humble prince and would never be compared with First Prince. It didn’t matter whether he was good at Qi Art, calligraphy and drawing.

And he still had to yield to First Prince, didn’t he?

Huangfu Changyu was very pleasant. Having a black pearl grape, Hua Qiyue felt her mouth filled wtih fragrance and sweet. Such kind of fruit of best quality, you would feel stuffed for the whole day if you just took only one.

“Emm? What kind of fragrance is it? It smells good,” First Prince suddenly smiled and said, looking at Hua Qiyue gently.

Hua Qiyue smiled slightly and took out the sachet hanging on her waistband, “Maybe the smell comes from my sachet. I made this sachet by the spices from a supreme master. Those spices are fragrant but not strong which are very memorable.”

“Indeed, unexpectedly, you have such a good sachet. Princess Jinghua, could you please give us a recipe?” Shao Ruyi, who was the daughter of the Director of the Board of Rites, smiled and said.

Hua Qiyue nodded slightly and said, “Of course, but you have to wait until the fair ends because I got it from the supreme master.”

Those ladies was very glad to hear this. Generally, the recipe of the sachet wouldn’t be known by the public, but Hua Qiyue was so generous.

Many ladies were fascinated by the fragrance.

Hua Xiaoyi laughed slightly and said, “Eldest sister, I’ve never seen you use such kind of sachet, but it’s really fragrant! Since First Prince sits very close to you, perhaps, he is soaked in the fragrance, isn’t he?”

Hua Mengshi just smiled slightly and her facial expression was as peaceful as a pool of water.

Huangfu Shenglin was sitting in the farthest corner but he could smell the light fragrance. While Yun Shimo didn’t say anything all the time, but now he drunk his wine glass after glass and his action was as fluent as floating clouds and flowing water.

Bingyi seldom saw Yun Shimo drinking so much wine and glanced at Hua Qiyue who was at the highest position. Of course, woman like Hua Qiyue would attract First Prince’s eyes, but Prince Nan would feel sad.
