Chapter 40: Stupid Princess

Chapter 40: Stupid Princess

“Argh!”

Princess Huiling shrieked while two imperial guards pulled Hua Qiyue away and held her up. “Outrageous! You dare to hurt the princess?”

One of the imperial guards chided and pulled his sword out of its sheath. He was about to put the sword on Hua Qiyue’s neck when Yun Shimo held the sheath. The guard was shocked. He pulled harder but the sword would not come out!

Prince Nan of the imperial city was not only the King of Medicine and the Medical Saint, but he was also a master at crafting elixirs and practicing Qi Art.

“Prince Nan, please do not make it difficult for me!” The imperial guard whispered upon seeing the circumstance.

Princess Huiling could feel the bloody cuts on her hands. She stared intensely at Hua Qiyue with a gaze full of murderous intent!

That cute face was twisted by anger. Seeing that, Princess Huiya calmed her down softly, “Sister, do not be angry at Miss Hua. Perhaps she is merely not careful…”

“Not careful? Hua Qiyue, did you know that you have committed the crime of hurting the imperial family? That crime is punishable by death. Come, bring Hua Qiyue to the dungeon!” Princess Huiling was worried about being unable to punish Hua Qiyue and this incident provided her with the perfect opportunity to punish her. “Hua Qiyue, you are dead!”

Lv Xin is dumbfounded. She stared at the innocent Hua Qiyue.

Ji Feng saw everything clearly. The corner of his mouth twitched coldly as he heard Hua Qiyue whisper, “Princess… I didn’t do it on purpose… I saw a frog in the grass… and I wanted to catch it, thus I accidentally pushed you…”

“You are lying! Hua Qiyue, how dare you lie to me, I was the one who tripped you…” Instantly, everyone stared at Princess Huiling. The princess was harsh and straightforward, spewing out the truth without thinking.

Princess Huiling realized that she had spilled the truth and covered her mouth immediately, staring at Ji Feng awkwardly.

Ji Feng had never seen such a rude and stupid woman, and thus his mouth twitched as he spoke. “That’s right, princess. You had tripped Qiyue and thus she accidentally pounced on you. What crime is that? Princess loves to play and that was merely a joke just now, right?”

Yun Shimo said expressionlessly, “Princess, I had seen…”

Princess Huiling laughed dryly and awkwardly twice. Who could she blame for her own mistake? If she really did bring Hua Qiyue back to the dungeon, then she would be the laughingstock!

A princess of Changjing Kingdom using devious plans to frame a general’s girl would only hurt the reputation of the royal family and enrage the Emperor. However, she did not expect Yun Shimo to speak for Hua Qiyue. Her hatred for her deepened as she thought about that!

“Yes, yes. Don’t mind me, Qiyue, I was just joking!”

Hua Qiyue blinked as she purposefully lied just now to bait the princess into telling the truth. Such a straightforward person was the easiest to deal with.

“Oh, what did you say, princess? The frog ran away!”

“Hehe! Yes, the frog had escaped. It’s late now, I will return home. I’ll find you tomorrow, Brother Ji!” Princess Huiling laughed boldly while Princess Huiya’s heart sank as she realized that her sister liked Ji Feng too.

“I’m sorry. I need to help Qiyue catch frogs tomorrow.” Ji Feng explained as he smiled lightly. The power of the Ji family remained solemn as they need not care for the face of the imperial family.

Having been rejected, Princess Huiling’s mood worsened. She had blamed all the unsatisfactory outcomes on Hua Qiyue.

The corner of Princess Huiling’s mouth twitched as she said, “That’s right, I’ll find Brother Ji when you’re free next time!” As she spoke, she left with Princess Mingzhu. While Princess Huiya turned, she threw a comforting glance to Hua Qiyue.

Twilight had befallen and it was the first time Hua Qiyue had spent such a late night outside. Thus, Lv Xin and Qiuyun brought her home immediately. Yun Shimo and Ji Feng looked at each other and walked towards Prince Nan’s residence.

Ji Jing was there too. It was rare for her to come out and play. Furthermore, she had a crush on Yun Shimo. How could she let this opportunity slip?

Inside Prince Nan’s residence, when Yun Shimo and the rest had returned, the chefs hurried to provide delicious supper for the host and the guests.

The dining room was incredibly huge and was beside a small pond. When one raised up one’s head while dining, one could see the beautiful ripples from the water body and the colorful fish swimming freely within. The lotus was placed in the middle of the pond, with glittering crystal drops of water on top of the circular lotus leaves.

The silver moonlight was sprinkled lightly on the water body as laughter and chatter came from within the dining room. The sound of a woman laughing was like the ringing of a silver bell.

“Brother Yun! I didn’t expect the scenery here to be better than outside. I would have come here earlier if I knew, haha!” Ji Jing smiled heartily.

A faint smile appeared on Yun Shimo’s handsome face. “Jing can always come.”

Huangfu Xuan stared at Yun Shimo before frowning and staring at Ji Jing. “It’s not a good thing to mix around with that stupid girl!”

Huangfu Xuan was straightforward in his words, making Ji Feng uncomfortable.

Yun Shimo looked at him casually. “Brother Huangfu, do you really think that Hua Qiyue is as simple as she looks. Only I bet on her victory amongst everyone here, but she did win in the end?”

Huangfu Xuan snorted coldly as Ji Jing complained, “Ya, how can a brainless man like you understand why sister Qiyue wins? Hmpt! You are not a good thing for scolding her!”

Ji Jing was angry as she stared at Yun Shimo. “Brother Yun, you can’t let someone like him in! He spoils the good mood for tonight!”

Yun Shimo had a small headache as Huangfu Xuan was still the son of an aristocrat, probably the only son of an aristocrat that respects him.

Those princes do seem to treat Yun Shimo with respect, but was secretly lamenting his lack of royal blood and would not be convinced by him.

However, due to the face of the emperor and the excellent medical skills of Yun Shimo, no one dared to oppose him.

However, Huangfu Xuan came to his residence almost every day, treating him as a friend and a brother.

“Well, Jing, Brother Huangfu seemed to have mistaken Qiyue. Actually, I have guessed that she would win. After all… facing so much disdain and mockery, she still remained calm and composed. Do you really think that someone who dare to compete knowing that she knew no Qi Art had no other skills?”

Ji Feng smiled lightly. “This time, many rich men and women would need to send silver over to Qiyue. They lost with written proof and thus cannot afford to deny it.”

Ji Jing suddenly rejoiced and nodded profusely. “Yes, yes! Haha, Sister Qiyue will have a fortune now!”

“We should let her treat us tomorrow. I heard that other than Dong Hai Restaurant, there was another restaurant called Wangyue Restaurant. The food there is particularly fragrant.”

Ji Feng smiled and suggested while a strange glimmer flashed across Yun Shimo’s eyes.

“Yes, yes! Brother Yun need to come too!”

Yun Shimo was stunned but he still did nod in the end. Huangfu Xuan complained loudly, “Brother Yun, you are mad! Do you remember how Hua Qiyue pounced on you? Hmpt, she wants to molest you and you still dare to send yourself into her?”

Huangfu Xuan’s words shocked Ji Feng and Ji Jing as they both looked at Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo’s mouth twitched as he shook his head. “Brother Huangfu, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief hearing what Yun Shimo said. In their heart, Hua Qiyue was not that kind of woman.

Huangfu Xuan jumped up unhappily, so much so that the dishes on the table vibrated. “Misunderstanding! I think she did it on purpose! What misunderstanding! Brother Yun, when did you become so soft?”

Ji Feng cleared his throat and looked at Yun Shimo. The two of them had the same thought. After all, Huangfu Xuan was straightforward and crude, and they should not talk much about Hua Qiyue in front of him.

“Come, come, Brother Huangfu! Don’t be angry, drink and eat!” Ji Feng laughed and raised up his cup.

Seeing that Yun Shimo did not react, Huangfu Xuan sighed and lifted up his cup to toast Ji Feng.

Ji Jing was a smart woman. She smiled and ushered a servant to her side, whispering softly in his ears.

The servant listened to her and stared silently at Huangfu Xuan before turning around and leaving. Before long, a servant from Prince Nan’s residence came and reported that his house had flooded, urging him to leave.

Huangfu Xuan’s face sank as he heard the news. He then hurriedly left after saying goodbye to Yun Shimo.

Seeing the anxious back of Huangfu Xuan, Ji Jing laughed mockingly. Ji Feng shook his head helplessly, “Jing, even if you do lie, you cannot lie so seriously. Look at the anxiousness of Brother Huangfu, that showed the deep love he had for his house.”

Yun Shimo could barely hide the laughter in his eyes. Ji Jing is both mischievous and smart, and thus was able to lure Huangfu Xuan away to talk conveniently.

“His mansion was constructed under the personal supervision of Emperess Jin. She had passed on early and her son missed her dearly, thus valuing the mansion much.”

Yun Shimo’s words made Ji Feng and Ji Jing quiet. They had also had the loss of their mother at an early age. Naturally, it was uncomfortable.

“That Hua Qiyue… is really intelligent. Using one trick to ear almost 10,000 pounds of silver.” Ji Feng changed the topic, smiling.

Yun Shimo nodded as Hua Qiyue’s idiotic face appeared before his eyes. She had a cunning heart hidden within an ignorant appearance.

She was cunning enough to make people fall into her trap and blame it on luck instead.

Other than the few of them, no one would think that Hua Qiyue was pretending to be idiotic.

“That’s right, Qiyue was so smart that few people could see through her. However, Brother Yun, do you know about her unique set of footwork?”

Ji Feng whispered, worried about people eavesdropping.

Ji Jing also looked at Yun Shimo with interest. Hua Qiyue’s footwork was indeed unique and impressive, allowing her to utilize it to escape easily during her time of danger.

Yun Shimo turned solemn. “No, I cannot decipher that. Do you not know what that is, Brother Ji?”
