Chapter 41: Mystery
Ji Jing looked at Yun Shimo with interest. Hua Qiyue's footwork was indeed unique and impressive, but she didn’t know as much about fighting as her brother or Yun Shimo.
Yun Shimo turned solemn. "I don’t know what to think. I’ve never seen anything like it. Have you?"
Ji Feng shook his head. "No, and neither has my father. He agreed to let Jing invite Qiyue for lunch but didn’t never brought it up."
"That's because Dad knows that there must be a supreme master behind Hua Qiyue and that she’s smart enough not to reveal who they are," Ji Jing said, her eyes twinkling in the moonlight. "I told you the rumors couldn’t be true! Everyone else is just too stupid not to see Hua Qiyue for the smart woman that she is!"
She turned a sly grin toward Ji Feng.
"But you weren’t fooled, brother. I saw how you walked so closely to her today."
Ji Feng's face reddened. "Jing, don't say such nonsense!"
His sister

Qiuyun was kneeling in front of Hua Mengshi in a small rundown pavilion in the back garden. Hua Mengshi gave the girl such a frosty stare, even Surou had to suppress a shiver."Speak! Did you put the drug into the soup?""Yes! Madame, I did not betray you! I placed the laxative into the soup! I don’t know why it didn’t work!" Qiuyun said with a look of terror."Oh, you did, did you? That was the strongest laxative the doctor had." Hua Mengshi smiled evilly. "I heard that Hua Qiyue is giving out cash to her servants like there’s no tomorrow. Tell me, Qiuyun… how much did it cost for you to betray me?"Qiuyun bowed so low her head was resting on the floor. "No! Please, believe me... I never even saw a copper coin!"Hua Mengshi narrowed her eyes. She’d had Qiuyun monitored constantly, and it didn’t appear that she had been bribed by Hua Qiyue.But if Qiuyun had, indeed, drugged the soup, and had

Hua Qiyue smiled at Ji Jing. "I’d be honored to treat you to a meal, but it’s a bit early for dinner. Would you be willing to walk around with us until then?"Hua Qiyue breathed in sharply as she noticed Yun Shimo sitting next to Ji Feng. Tianci noticed him as well and waved excitedly to him, which Yun Shimo returned with a faint smile.They resumed their journey, with the Ji family's carriage following them into the city.As they passed a snack shop, Tianci tugged at Hua Qiyue's dress and pointed.Hua Qiyue signaled for the carriage to stop. "Do you want a snack?"Tianci nodded exaggeratedly while Ji Jing and Ji Feng alighted from their carriage. The delicious smell of the food made their mouths water as they stepped into the small shop.Hua Qiyue had seldom ventured out of the restaurant with Tianci. Maybe it was time to spoil him just a little.The shop specialized in roast and barbeque pro

The princesses seldom left the palace, but the Emperor had given them permissions to leave for the duration of the tournament, so they finally had an excuse to wander around.Princess Huiling had heard about Wangyue’s sterling reputation and brought her sisters along. When she’d heard that Ji Feng was also there, she’d asked the waiter to show her to his table.What she hadn’t expected was for Hua Qiyue to be there, as well.She snorted in disbelief. "Brother Ji, did you really catch frogs with this idiot?""Yes." Ji Feng responded simply.Ji Jing glanced at Princess Huiling in annoyance.Tianci saw Princess Huizhen and Zhou Zhicheng, and began trembling. Hua Qiyue held his hand."Tianci, aren’t you going to greet your father?"Zhou Zhicheng’s face briefly lit up as he saw Hua Qiyue, then seemed to remember the princess beside him. He smiled gently at Tianci, but the boy only look

As Princess Huiling’s maidservant made a second attempt to calm the princess down Hua Qiyue used her Spirit Summoning Art to release a puff of air from her finger toward the Princess Huiling, injecting hatred and inhibition into it.When the hateful air reached her, Princess Huiling screamed, pulling an ornate knife out of her dress and stabbing it toward Princess Huizhen!The group at the table held their collective breath.Princess Huizhen cried out as the knife pierced her arm.Ji Feng stood to intervene, but he wasn’t quick enough to stop an engraged Huizhen from picking up the fish plate with her good arm, sending fish flying everywhere, and slamming it into Huiling’s face.Blood began pouring from her nose as Huiling let out an incomprehensible scream of pure rage as she lunged at her sister.It was at this point that the imperial guards intervened, pulling the two bloodthirsty princesses apart as th

Princess Huiling tried to suppress the contempt in her eyes. She couldn’t treat Hua Qiyue poorly with so many people watching."Miss Hua! Please, join us."Hua Qiyue wore a slight smile and sat down with Tianci. The meal before them was quite simple – a couple of basic dishes and a bowl of soup."My son was hungry, and I’d heard this restaurant was quite good, so we stopped in to get a quick bite. I never imagined you’d be here, princess. I am honored."Princess Huiling said with a smile, "You should be.""Princess Huiling... last night...”Huiling clenched her fists beneath the table. How dare she bring up last night in public!“…Princess Huizhen really over-reached," Hua Qiyue finished.Princess Huiling snorted, but unclenched her fists."Princess Huizhen has secretly been with Mr. Zhou for a long time. I’ve heard that before his wife passed away, they..."

Hua Qiyue knew what the Second Madame was up to. She wanted her to marry someone with a bad reputation."Second Madame, I know you're joking. How could I marry your nephew when he has such a strong reputation? Grandma, this is about my marriage, so I humbly ask that I be allowed to make the decision!"Madame Hua wasn’t an idiot. When she saw Qiyue’s confident smile, she knew that her granddaughter had a plan. Besides, she’d become such a boon to the Hua family in recent weeks.If Hua Qiyue could provide yet another pleasant surprise, she would be happy to accept.Madame Hua nodded. "I suppose it depends on what you have in mind, Qiyue.” After departing the main hall, Hua Qiyue spent some time with Tianci. Looking down at his happy, pink face, Hua Qiyue promised herself she’d be a perfect mother in this life.Later on, Lvxin and Youshui served dinner, joined by Qiuyun, who appeared to be well-rested.

The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 48: First Taste of Jealousy
Later in the evening, Princess Huizhen noticed Huiling staring at Cuilian from time to time, as if she trying to signal something. She narrowed her eyes slightly, but didn’t say anything.After dinner, Princess Huizhen returned to her palace. Once the doors were shut, she whirled around, slapping Cuilian sharply across the face.Cuilian shrieked and staggered backward. Her eyes welled with tears, but she didn’t dare retreat."Princess... what… what did I do wrong?"After getting shouted at by her mother, Huizhen was in no mood to deal with a traitor."What did you do wrong?” she shouted. “You bitch! Why are you hanging out with Huiling? Did you betray me for her? Do you want to spoil my relationship with the queen?"One side of Cuilian's face was red and swollen, and the corner of her mouth was bleeding slightly. "No, no... you've got it wrong, princess, I wouldn’t betray you!"Princess Huizhe

"I’m honored you’d skip the tournament because of me!” Hua Qiyue replied. “Jing, would you like to come to Hua Mansion?"Ji Jing's eyes lit up. She winked at Ji Feng, and said, "That sounds great! I'll visit you at Hua's Mansion with my brother sometime."As the ladies chatted, Ji Feng eyed Hua Qiyue with curiosity. He’d been floored when he’d heard about her personal garden of Long Red. She hadn’t exactly kept it a secret. If Yun Shimo was correct, and she had only entered the tournament to win the Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice to cure her son, why not simply offer to trade some Long Red for it?When the conversation died down, Ji Feng said with a smile, "Qiyue, I heard that Tianci needs Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice to heal his throat. We would like to give it to you in advance."Hua Qiyue was taken aback by the offer. Was he certain she would win? Was he trying to bribe her with a gift?She desperately wanted to accept, but k
