The General's Genius Daughter

Thinking of the beating that day, Zhou Zhicheng was still angry. However, seeing that the lady in front of him was all teary and looked as beautiful as a flower, he sighed softly. "Come up, I forgive you. I think I had a stroke of bad luck recently and thus unfortunate events came one after another. Someone framed me and Princess Huiling chanced about it too, looks like this would be the downfall of Zhou family."

As Zhou Zhicheng lifted Qiuyun up, his rough hands touched her soft palm. Qiuyun moaned softly with her crisp voice as she withdrew her hand, blushing.

Zhou Zhicheng stared at her and found Qiuyun to be cute and small. Even though she was nowhere as pretty as Princess Jinghua Hua Qiyue, the situation now made it impossible for Hua Qiyue to be attracted to him.

It did seem that Qiuyun had a little interest in him.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Qiuyun will deeply remember your graciousness!" Qiuyun raised up her head and looked straight into Mr. Zhou with caring eyes. "Your injury..."

"All healed."

"And your restaurant... How about this, my master had wrongfully blamed you for the matter last time. She was prepared to visit your restaurant tomorrow to help you solicit costumers."

Qiuyun asked carefully.

Hearing that, Zhou Zhicheng was delighted. "That’s great! I shall thank the princess here! I apologize for making the princess run around like this..."

Qiuyun smiled seductively, "Why? You need to know that it’s also because of me that the princess is visiting. If not that I gave my master this idea, the princess will not know how to express her apology!"

Zhou Zhicheng hurried and thanked Qiuyun. The two chatted a bit before Qiuyun left.

The next day, Hua Qiyue led Qiuyun and Tianci into the restaurant. The restaurant was extremely quiet, with them as the only customers. However, seeing Princess Jinghua leading her servant in, many peasants were curious and followed them in.

In this case, business in the restaurant was booming for the first time in many days.

Zhou Zhicheng and Butler Wu were overjoyed. They couldn’t help but to thank Hua Qiyue profusely.

"Mr. Zhou, I have a friend who insisted on seeing you. The matter last time was because of my carelessness and misunderstanding. Knowing that Mr. Zhou did love the person, I brought..."

Hua Qiyue smiled faintly. In the chamber, her beauty outshone all the maidservants.

Zhou Zhicheng was extremely surprised and was confused with the intention of Hua Qiyue. However, besides her, the servant raised her head slowly. That familiar face surprised him!

"Princess..."

"Shhh..." Others shut him down. That woman was indeed Princess Huizhen. However, as she kept her head down and her mask on, few people noticed her.

"Zhicheng, let’s talk in another room!"

Princess Huizhen looked at Hua Qiyue thankfully before pulling Zhou Zhicheng away stealthily.

Hua Qiyue sipped on her tea as she met Tianci’s confused and depressed gaze.

He remembered his dead mother and saw that Princess Huizhen who had abused him was always at his stepmother’s side. How could he not be sad?

Hua Qiyue caressed his head gently. "Tianci, I did this for a reason. Please rest well in knowing that karma persists."

Hearing that, Tianci nodded in confusion.

"Master, I don’t understand why are you so nice to that princess... If the Emperor knows..." Qiuyun whispered. Lv Xin and Youshui all stared at Hua Qiyue uneasily.

Hua Qiyue smiled calmly. "Don’t worry! I won’t jump into traps and swamps myself."

Even though they knew that, the servants were still somewhat horrified.

However, Hua Qiyue was surprised to see Yun Shimo bringing Ji Feng and Huangfu Xuan over halfway through her meal.

They all heard that Hua Qiyue went to visit Dong Hai Restaurant and was curious to why she would oppose the Emperor.

However, the Emperor was kind-hearted and just. He would not be angered by Hua Qiyue’s behavior, and punish her just for this.

"Hua Qiyue, such boldness! You dare to come here and eat even though Princess Huiling laid her trap!" Seeing Hua Qiyue eating calmly, Huangfu Xuan mocked her.

Hua Qiyue nodded to Ji Feng, and replied, smiling, "Aren’t you doing the same?"

"You..." Huangfu Xuan could not think of a rebuttal.

Instead, Yun Shimo sat down. The waiter presented him with the menu while the kid rushed to Yun Shimo’s side happily, rubbing his arm.

Yun Shimo looked at the kid lovingly as he placed the kid on his legs. "Tianci, how are you feeling today?"

Tianci nodded, full of smiles.

Ji Feng couldn’t help but tease him. "Brother Yun, you do look like you are his father!"

"Hahaha... Brother Ji, you must be joking! How can Tianci be Brother Yun’s son?" Huangfu Xuan laughed out loud. "A woman like Hua Qiyue is lascivious and arrogant. You think you can afford to be lawless now you are crowned as a princess by the Emperor?"

"Brother Huangfu, you must be joking. Are you doubting the Emperor’s judgment?"

Hua Qiyue smiled and focused her gave on Huangfu Xuan. Huangfu Xuan turned red with anger. "You, you, you..." He struggled to find a rebuttal once again.

Huangfu Xuan lost to Hua Qiyue once again.

Yun Shimo and Ji Feng looked at each other and smiled.

"You... you love to eat Lotus Steamed Chicken, right?" Ji Feng ordered the dish Lotus Steamed Chicken as he asked Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was surprised. "Brother Ji, how did you know?"

Yun Shimo’s face sank. Quietly, he moved the dish in front of him. "Tianci, you like to eat this too, right?"

He meant that Hua Qiyue ordered the chicken for Tianci, not for herself.

Tianci nodded as he looked at Hua Qiyue with his sparkling eyes.

Hua Qiyue was all smile. "Both of you are right, both Tianci and I loved to eat this dish."

"We shall order one more. " Ji Feng smiled caringly, full of affection in his eyes.

A strange flash of light flashed across Yun Shimo’s dark eyes. He smiled lightly and commented, "You seemed to be particularly fond of Princess Jinghua."

"Heroes love beauties. Such is the ancient law." Ji Feng did not hide his affection for Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was shocked. She did not expect this man to be so straightforward.

Ji Jing goggled. "Ya, as the princess now, Sister Qiyue hold no arrogance! She is the type for both me and my brother! Hehehe!"

Hua Qiyue smiled lightly but she did not respond.

Yun Shimo raised his brows and began examining Hua Qiyue. "Her brows are thicker than a branch and her lips are lighter in color to Sakura, signaling her lack of love. Her face is shaped like a melon, signaling her acute character... Even though her nose is upright, it seemed unlucky... She is not a blessed person, not an agreeable person, and never a beauty."

Hearing thatYun Shimo was degrading Hua Qiyue, Huangfu Xuan laughed. "Haha, you’re right. Even though Hua Qiyue was crowned as Princess, your behavior before won’t be forgotten! Hmpt, Hua Qiyue, don’t forget that you had touched me and Brother Yun inappropriately before!"

Huangfu Xuan’s words made Ji Jing and Ji Feng’s face turn gloomy.

Hua Qiyue was not angry, however. "Really? How did I not remember?"

"You, you... you are so sly!" Huangfu Xuan spoke eloquently but he still wasn’t able to rival Hua Qiyue.

Ji Jing and the rest smiled at Hua Qiyue’s slyness. She had saved herself from the mocking but implying that she cared not about what Yun Shimo and Huangfu Xuan said.

"Do you not remember? June 6th last year, you... you pulled my sleeve!" Huangfu Xuan was angry as he chided Hua Qiyue directly.

Hua Qiyue was still smiling as she stood up to pour wine for Huangfu Xuan. "Mr. Huangfu, I have forgotten about all the past happenings. Moreover... You can rest assured that I am not interested in you now!"

Huangfu Xuan blushed as Hua Qiyue did not even look at him once in the pouring of wine. From her actions, she was not interested in him at all.

"Haha! Qiyue is so eloquent with her words! Come, cheers!" Ji Jing stood up enthusiastically to toast. The cups clashed, giving out a crisp sound.

Halfway through the joyous meal, another uninvited guest, Princess Huiling, appeared.

Today was the day of the Ji family tournament. Princess Huiling was bored and thus was walking around outside of the Princess’ Residences. As she passed by this place, she saw that it was full of customers, hence making her frightened and angry.

Hearing that Hua Qiyue was the one who led everyone into the restaurant, she was even madder and brought her maidservant here angrily.

"Hua Qiyue, such boldness!"

The loud scolding made everyone turn around. They saw Princess Huiling walking in briskly. Seeing the crowd, Qi Artist Xiaoxin behind her coughed.

Princess Huiling calmed down as he recalled the punishment given by the Queen.

She had made many mistakes. However, Zhou Zhicheng was still released and the restaurant was allowed to re-open. If she pulled off another underhand trick now, the Queen would be more furious.

Princess Huiling took a deep breath as everyone stood up to greet her. Hua Qiyue smiled like a flower as she explained, "It’s the Princess! Come and sit!"

Hua Qiyue personally gave up her seat to allow Princess Huiling to sit next to Yun Shimo.

The anger of Princess Huiling slowly dissipated.

However, because of the arrival of this woman, everyone lost interest in the meal.

During the meal, Princess Huiling kept showing affection and smiling at Yun Shimo. However, the other party turned his back on her. She also felt more dissatisfied at Hua Qiyue, as she had been punished by the Queen because of the matter in Dong Hai Restaurant. Hua Qiyue dining here was clear defiance to her wishes.

Furthermore, Princess Huiling loved Prince Nan. However, Prince Nan kept looking at Hua Qiyue with loving eyes in front of her, giving Hua Qiyue numerous goosebumps.

"A few days ago, someone discovered a dead rat in the rice. I am proud of Princess Jinghua’s courage to continue eating here." Princess Huiling did not touch her chopsticks, instead, she mocking Hua Qiyue sarcastically.

Hua Qiyue smiled calmly. "The business had been framed one and thus they would be more careful next time, making sure that their hygiene is better. If you have a restaurant, won’t you do the same too?"
