The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 121: Appointed Marriage

"Haha, there is no need for such courtesy, Princess Jinghua. I had long heard that there is a genius Qi Artist in Changjing Kingdom, a female one still. However, I didn't expect her to be someone so pretty!" Morong Fuyi smiled, crystal delight s.h.i.+ning in her eyes.

Emperor Changlong's heart trembled. Hua Qiyue is a genius from Changjing Kingdom. He will not bear to marry her out of the country even if Morong Fuyi did liked her.

Emperor Changlong had long considered Hua Qiyue's marriage. However, it was not time yet for him to appoint a marriage partner to her.

Emperor Changlong smiled a sense of crisis.

"Thank you for the compliment." Hua Qiyue was humble yet dignified. Even Mo Erhe nodded without saying much.

The nervous atmosphere due to Princess Huiling was lightened from the conversation. Changlong Emperor apologized to Morong Fuyi about the matter concerning Princess Huiling. Afterward, he ushered the dancers into the cabin and asked for the musicians to play music. The atmosphere became relaxed, calm and peaceful.

Waitresses brought dishes and wine up. Emperor Changlong was here to appoint marriage for Murong Fuyi. He had initially wanted to appoint Mingzhu as his wife. However, seeing that his eyes were fixated on Hua Qiyue, he opened his mouth to speak.

However, when Emperor Changlong was about to talk, Murong Fuyi stood up and smiled. "Your majesty, I have long heard about the beauties of Changjing Kingdom, only to see them with my own eyes today. The beauties present here today are as bright as the moon, with Princess Jinghua having an outstandingly gracious att.i.tude and aura. Your majesty, Fuyi here request to have Princess Jinghua as my wife. I will treat her well to benefit the two nations!"

Murong Fuyi was attracted to Hua Qiyue at first glance. His att.i.tude was straightforward, catching Emperor Changlong off guard.

Emperor Changlong was dissatisfied while Queen Liu smiled lightly. "Princess Jinghua was indeed an outstanding woman, a genius in Qi Arts. The Tenth Highness indeed had an outstanding judgment to like the Princess, but..."

Emperor Changlong was secretly delighted that Queen Liu understood him better now.

How can a nation give up a genius in Qi Art so easily?

"But what? Your majesty, you did say that you would support whoever Fuyi likes, right?" Murong Fuyi replied slyly.

Yun s.h.i.+mo's hand trembled as wine spilled out of his wine cup, looks like he was not calm this time too.

Huangfu Shenglin, however, was indifferent.

Huangfu Xuan was red with anger, as he had the urge to rescue Hua Qiyue from the troubles. However, Hua Qiyue was extremely calm, whispering to Ji Jing.

"Tenth Highness, the Flower Fair prepared by the royal family today was for couples with affection towards each other. Anyone who liked each other will be approved for marriage by the Emperor and me. This is the rule for tonight. Thus, you have to get Princess Jinghua's approval for marriage." Queen Liu smiled.

The Tenth Highness Murong Fuyi turned to look at Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue stood up and smiled at Murong Fuyi. The smile was as brilliant as a flower, making Murong Fuyi dazed.

First Prince saw that and was about to blow up in anger. Hua Qiyue had rejected him tonight, instead, she smiling so brightly at Murong Fuyi. Did she like him?

The inability to get what he wanted stemmed deep in the First Prince heart.

"As the top Qi Artist in Chexue Kingdom, Qiyue dared not accept the marriage proposal." Hua Qiyue kept her smile and replied softly, her voice as calm as water. Mo Erhe and Murong Fuyi couldn't help but frown.

Morong Fuyi is indeed a top tier Qi Artist in Chexue Kingdom, even though he was only at the mid-tier Dragon Diagram standard. However, many ladies loved him.

How can his first courts.h.i.+p be rejected so quickly without hesitation!

Ha...

So ridiculous!

Murong Fuyi looked at the composed Hua Qiyue and felt that this woman was extraordinary. He had remembered all that Murong Fuyi said.

A woman that can calmly resolve such a situation would be extremely intelligent. It's indeed a fortune to marry someone like her!

I, Murong Fuyi will definitely marry Hua Qiyue!

"Your majesty, you did say that any woman can be my wife as long as I liked her. Is this still in effect?"

Murong Fuyi refused to give in as Emperor Changlong's expression changed at Murong Fuyi's persistance.

Murong Fuyi became a key guest a few years ago. Every time Emperor Changlong arrived at Chexue Kingdom, he will tend to him with all his heart and soul.

This person had an extremely good personality and was easy to talk to. He had never persisted at something so stubbornly before, showing his extreme infatuation of Hua Qiyue.

"This..." Emperor Changlong was in a dilemma. If he rejected him, he would hurt his face and damage the relations.h.i.+p between the two countries.

If he agreed, he would not be willing to miss out on such a genius Qi Artist.

Thus, Emperor Changlong was confused. Queen Liu, however, was calm, as she was merely patronizing just now.

If Hua Qiyue married away, revenge for Princess Huizhen would be too simple.

As long as she gets married away, it would be very easy to send hundreds of top-tier Qi Artists to a.s.sa.s.sinate her. Even if Chexue Kingdom conducts an investigation, she would not be suspected.

"Tenth Highness, Princess Jinghua is a good woman. Unfortunately, she does have an engagement." A soft voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

They saw a standing Yun s.h.i.+mo who walked smoothly to the sides of the Tenth Highness, in front of Hua Qiyue.

Everyone was surprised. How did they never hear of Hua Qiyue's engagement?

Tenth Highness looked at the man with extraordinary temperament and was shocked to see such a strong and handsome Qi Artist being his strong rival!

Emperor Changlong raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh, what do you mean, Prince Nan?"

"Your majesty, while healing with Princess Jinghua in the cave, she accidentally revealed her foot to me... With the customs of Changjing Kingdom, she can only marry me."

Yun s.h.i.+mo spoke with details that made Hua Qiyue speechless. Even though Yun s.h.i.+mo helped her, he also framed her.

Saw her foot?

d.a.m.n!

In Changjing Kingdom, there was indeed this custom as the foot was considered to the sign of women's chast.i.ty. Once they were seen by men, it was as if their chast.i.ty was lost...

However, her heart warmed thinking about how this guy exchanged her life with his blood. She might as well marry Prince Nan if she was going to marry Murong Fuyi...

Hua Qiyue was shocked at the thought and despised herself. She was no longer the weak Rong Qiyue that couldn't even decide on her own marriage before.

"Furthermore... we had been engaged since them. Thus, thank you Tenth Highness for recognizing my fiance. Unfortunately, you are too late." Yun s.h.i.+mo whispered as he looked at Hua Qiyue gently. "Qiyue, you say, is it true?"

d.a.m.n!

What a malicious man!

Not only did he take advantage of her, he wanted her to admit it in front of so many people!

Hua Qiyue's mouth twitched but he had to stand up and nod, facing the pressure. "Prince Nan is right."

She knew she would be entangled in this mess if she did not admit it.

As the King of a friendly neighboring country, it was hard for the Emperor to deal with the situation. If he did not deal with it properly, the relations.h.i.+p between the two countries would worsen, and... she would be notorious.

While Hua Qiyue was not afraid of any hostile forces, but if she forced the Emperor and others to act, throwing herself in the middle of her enemies, it would be difficult for him to escape. However, even if she can escape, what about Tianci? What about the Lv Xin and Youshui that she likes?

"If that is the case, I have to apologize to the Tenth Highness." The Emperor sighed but was still unhappy. He wanted First Prince to interrupt but that idiot was no where to be seen.

First Prince just ate cold food and was in the toilet to resolve his diahorrea.

If First Prince did strike first, Hua Qiyue will be in much deeper trouble.

At this time, there was another person who regretted not striking. That was Huangfu Xuan. He sat on his seat, looking at the couple with jealousy.

He hated himself for his slow reaction. If he reacted faster, perhaps Hua Qiyue will be his.

Some people and some things will never be able to restart once they were missed.

"Your majesty, I object! How about I challenge Prince Nan to a duel. The winner gets to marry the Princess!" Murong Fuyi was unwilling to give up. Having went to many countries, Hua Qiyue was the only one who caught his eye.

How can he be willing to give up what he had?

Emperor Changlong frowned as he did not expect Murong Fuyi to still be stubborn.

"Your majesty, I am willing to accept the challenge!" While Emperor Changlong was hesitating, Yun s.h.i.+mo replied calmly, with the demeanor of a King.

Hua Qiyue paused and retreated to aside reluctantly. Everyone in the cabin looked at her with a complicated gaze. The Flower Fair today belonged to everyone. However, every single move by Hua Qiyue caught the attention of the rest, becoming to focal point of the cabin.

How can they not be angry and jealous?

"Alright, let the dancers retreat. The Changjing Kingdom always treats guests with respect. Tenth Highness, you shall decide on the compet.i.tion." Changlong Emperor chided the dancers

He was heartbroken that Hua Qiyue was engaged to Prince Nan, who had no blood relations with the royal family. Marrying Hua Qiyue will only strengthen his power.

The fast development of Prince Nan's family made him wary.

"In this case... since Changjing Kingdom and Chexue Kingdom had good relations.h.i.+ps for hundreds of years, this personal matter shall not affect the relations.h.i.+p between the two countries. Thus, let's not have a war and decide the victory in one move. Whoever cuts a strand of hair from the other party wins."

Murong Fuyi thought about it and laughed at his own proposal.

Prince Nan nodded calmly. His elegant and n.o.ble aura marvelled everyone.

Prince Nan rarely appeared, but because of Hua Qiyue, he often appeared in the public, showing his deep affection for the woman.

"Alright, since Prince Nan agrees, I have no opinion either!" Changlong Emperor agreed as well. Everyone turned to look at Hua Qiyue, who was enjoying snacks at the side with Ji Jing, obviously not affected by this compet.i.tion.

However, what if the Tenth Highness won?
