Hua Qiyue looked at the owner of that hand—Yun Shimo, who was looking at her coldly, then he said gently to Tianci, "Tianci, this cuisine is specially made for you, and Daddy also prepared all the delicacies on this table for you and me."
Hua Qiyue was depressed to almost spit blood. Although it was a little unkind to rob food from her son, these delicacies on the table were actually made for four, weren't they?
But Yun Shimo was so mean. What he said implied that Hua Qiyue came here uninvited, intending to freeload, right?
Hua Qiyue thought very hard, but she was really unable to figure out what she had done that offended Yun Shimo.
"Daddy, since Mom likes these, please allow her to have them! Daddy, you can ask the chef to prepare another dish of the Roast and Steamed Pork Joint Made in Niufo County!" Tianci blinked his smart eyes and a cunning smile skimmed over his eyes.
Yun Shimo couldn't help laughing and he
"Ask him to come!" Queen Liu's beautiful eyes were suddenly brightened. Since Shui Qianruo was willing to come, he must be interested in cooperating with her. Shui Qianruo was still in a white robe under which his pale and wan face became even more horrible; his entire body looked like a lifeless corpse. Generally, when people saw him, they would somehow tremble and feel scared. Xiaohuan lowered her eyes and dared not see Shui Qianruo's eyes. "Shui Qianruo meets Her Highness." Shui Qianruo just slightly bowed, but Queen Liu disregarded this action. Not everyone should kneel down when visiting the Empress. People with dignified identities, such as some senior Qi Artists or poisoners, pharmacists, were allowed to ignore etiquette when they visited the Emperor and the Empress. "Xiaohuan works for me. Master Shui, let me put this in a straightforward way: do you, have any interest in coorperating with me? Of course, y
Of course, Huangfu Xuan didn't know that it was the feeling of falling love with someone. Once falling love with a girl, he would be willing to see her but he also was afraid to see her, and his mind was filled with complicated contradictions which couldn't even be explained by deities. In the mortal world, love was could ruin the world and overturn countries. But some loves were unworthy of being mentioned, as humble as mud. At the same time, Princess Huiya was also very distressed. She wanted to go out of the palace but was stopped by her mother, and also because Yun Shimo was indifferent to her. Right now, a palace maid came to report that the Queen had invited all the princesses to the back hill and enjoy the beautiful sight of the moon. It was July 18th this day. Although the moon wasn't as round as that on the 15th or the 16th, the bright moon was still shining in the sky, as silvery as waves in the sea.
This day, General Hua Liting came back from the border and handed over his territorial protection duties to a newly promoted general. After all, Hua Liting had been galloping on the battlefield for many years and suffered from many injuries. Now, he was getting older and his strength as well as energy also declined, so, he could only retire. Around mid afternoon, General Hua Liting had entered the gate of the capital with his troops. The masses in the capital were ecstatic when they saw him, and they enthusiastically sent him food and clothes as presents. Hua Liting had tears in his eyes because for his whole life, he had experienced many difficulties, and he felt that his life hadn't been spent in vain since he gained such respect. Finally, he came back to the Hua's Mansion. As soon as Hua Liting got down from the horse, he saw that Hua Mengshi rushed to him saying, "Dad!" There were tears on Hua Mengshi's beautiful face and her voice was f
Hua Liting was in a quandary. He was a man who valued relationships. How could he witness the beheading of his Second Madame with his own eyes? Old Madame Hua snorted coldly. "Liting, did Mengshi tell you why Second Madame is being executed?" "It seems to be... that she schemed and tried to make Qiyue leave Hua's Mansion." "Mengshi is so audacious! How dare she lie to her own father!" The Old Madame heard him and instantly slapped the table angrily. "A few days ago, the Queen held a banquet for Qiyue. The scheming Second Madame tried to frame Qiyue as a foreign spy! She got a bandit to pretend to be a spy and counterfeited the painting of Ten Thousand Horses Galloping Ahead. They used as it evidence to frame Qiyue. Luckily, Qiyue had forestalled this! Otherwise, she would have been executed!" Old Madame Hua's angry words stunned Hua Liting. Although he knew there were some unstated reasons, he did not expect Secon
"Father dear, I was just making a wild guess. I'm sorry that it has turned out to be true." Hua Qiyue said quietly, motioning Youshui and Lv Xin to take Tianci away. "No, I'm not going! I will protect Mother!" Tianci started brandishing his fist, shouting loudly at Hua Liting's darkening face. Hua Liting gave Tianci a cold stare, his face even angrier. "Qiyue, you must know the inside story! Tell me! Let me clear your Second Mother's name." Hua Qiyue gazed calmly at Hua Liting. He was not stupid and knew that she was hiding something. Yet, if she revealed the mastermind behind the plot, he would suffer even more and be at greater risk. Although her spirit was not close to Hua Liting, her body was still Hua Qiyue's. How could she have the heart to see him enter a den of wolves? "Father, you think too much. I knew that it isn't easy to stay in the dungeons... weak people often commit suicide there... " Hua Qiyue sho
After a few customary salutations, the Princess returned to her seat. Hua Qiyue and the others sat in their special seats. Most hunts began with a passive hunt, followed by an active hunt. In other words, they would hunt in this ground first. The better hunters would then leave to hunt actively in the forest. "Your Majesties, some people can't even shoot. Can I challenge that person?" After taking his seat, Liu Shaoming exclaimed, obviously unhappy that his House Master had put him down. Liu Shaoming's aunt was Empress Liu. The Lius were a powerful family. Now that Liu Shaoming saw the woman he disdained, he would do everything in his power to humiliate her. "Shaoming, what nonsense are you up to?" Empress Liu censured him, displeased. Liu Mo pulled Liu Shaoming brutally down and made him sit. "Your Majesties, Shaoming is young and immature. Don't take his nonsense to heart." The Changl
Liu Shaoming was an archery genius. But he could only hit another 15 tigers with his arrows. In other words, they were level! "The contest between Young Master Liu and Princess Jinghua is... a draw!" Xiaolizi dragged his voice, announcing the verdict. Liu Shaoming flung down his bow and arrows angrily. "I challenge this verdict!" Hua Qiyue lifted her eyebrows. She did not expect Liu Shaoming to be such trouble. The Changlong Emperor said quietly with some displeasure, "Young Master Liu, your contest with the Princess is a draw. Don't hinder the rest from their hunt." The Emperor had spoken. No matter how unhappy, Liu Shaoming could not do anything. Liu Mo was so anxious that he nearly leapt up. Although his daughter was the Queen, the Emperor was now guarding against the Liu family more and more. If Liu Shaoming threw another tantrum, the Emperor would be even more displeased. Hua Qiyue was about to
Yun Shimo suddenly opened his eyes, staring coldly at that head before his eyes. A tinge of cruelty was upon his lips. "So it's you, one of the four secret guards of the capital, Chongxiao. Aren't you a lackey of the Empress?" Yun Shimo was narrowing his profound eyes somewhat. He did not seem poisoned, even though the toxic fume had already reached his arm. Chongxiao sneered wantonly. "Yun Shimo, I didn't expect you, the famous Prince Nan, to end up in my hands. Ha ha ha... even if both of you die here today, the Emperor will not suspect me!" Yun Shimo stared coldly at him. He was suppressing the dissipating toxic fume with his Spiritual Qi. "The Emperor is also under my illusion... hee hee hee. He thinks that I stay behind Empress Liu all the time. He won't suspect anything. Don't waste your Spiritual Qi, Yun Shimo. This is the world's most lethal poison. Shui Qianruo had it concocted specially for you. Even if you die, even
