The Story of a Stroppy Princess

Chapter 26

When Nangong Yixuan, the Fourth Prince and Hua Yujin left, Hua Yueling’s father, the Prime Minister came in .

Hua Yueling hurried to put down the golden medal, and smiled to his father , "Father, you didn’t sleep?"

"Ling’er, I heard that the Emperor granted you an Imperial Medal, right? You are the top leader of the Ministry of Penalty, is that true?” Doubt and surprise appeared on his face .

"Daddy, His Majesty permits me to investigate the spy of the Kingdom of Lanyue" Hua Yueling answered complacently .

"Ling’er, how can you suddenly become so mighty? Do you know it is too dangerous?" Undoubtedly, Hua Tieying expected all his children to be the most useful ones of the Kingdom of Dayue . Even though Hua Yueling was bewitched by the Third Prince before, he knew his daughter was excellent . At least she was versed in Guzheng (The instruments of ancient China . ), chess, calligraphy and painting, but what surprised him was that he had no idea when his daughter began to develop an interest in investigating cases .

"Daddy, I know . But don’t worry . Ye You will protect me and I am wearing the Soft Gold Vest . Just take it easy . " Hua Yueling thought that she must get the Beauty Sword from Mo Wushuang tomorrow .

"But Ling’er, you are a female after all . It’s men’s business . They may not listen to you . " Hua Tieying concerned much about this .

"Daddy, I will go to the Ministry of Penalty to check in tomorrow . I believe they will be convinced . Don’t worry about me . I won’t lose your face . I was immature before, but this time you will be proud of me . " Hua Yueling said confidently .

Hua Tieying found himself quite unfamiliar with his daughter who seemed to have changed suddenly . But he was glad to see that she could realize and accept the fact that the Third Prince didn’t like her .

"Ling’er, you should understand that you have to marry one day, but now you . . . Alas . " Thinking that the whole citizens of Dayue knew his daughter was a divorced woman and the son of any royal family was unwilling to marry such a woman, Hua Tieying began to worry her future .

"Ha-ha, don’t worry so much, Dad . Your daughter is such an attractive beauty that you don’t have to worry anything about her marrying a good man . If those men only care so much about whether I am a virgin, I don’t think they match me . I assure you, Dad, your son-in-law in the future must be an indomitable man who truly loves me . " Hua Yueling really despised ancient chastity concept . Did women have to die for those bastards who only care virginity?

"Well, well . Ling’er, it’s great that you can figure it out by yourself . I’m just afraid you’ll be wronged . " Hua Tieying’s eyes were filled with care as well as worries .

"Dad, you are still young and mom’s been dead for so long a time . Why don’t you find a life partner?" Hua Yueling and Hua Yujin’s mother died of disease ten years ago . Hua Tieying still stayed at garrison until he came back to the capital and became the Prime Minister . But he still loved his dead wife so much that he never had the thought of keeping another woman . And he devoted all his love to his two children, which made Hua Yueling very moved .

"I am old . I don’t need a person to accompany me . ” Hua Tieying felt a warm flow rising to his cheeks .

"Dad, you are only 38 . How can you say you are old? Believe me, you can still kill a tiger now!" Hua Yueling thought to herself that people in ancient times generally married early . Hua Tieying was in the prime of his life . It’s too pitiful for him to die alone and lonely . ”

"Ha-ha, I can’t do that anymore . I was very gallant in the battle . But it’s been five years since I came back as a Prime Minister, and it’s more exhausting than fighting in the war . ”

"That’s why you need a person to accompany you . I’ll keep an eye out for you . We don’t care she is a virgin or not, but just expect that she is more considerate . The most important thing is that you will not feel lonely at night . " Hua Yueling quipped with a wink .

"Don’t be so naughty? Don’t make the joke on me . Well, it’s too late . I’m going to bed and you should go to bed early, too . " Hua Tieying’s face turned red . He hurriedly stood to his feet and began to ran away . His once-married daughter became totally different .

"Ha ha, Dad, I’m serious that I will take care of it!" Hua Yueling laughed at his escape, but she really had this plan in her mind . How could a 38-year-old man live without a woman? It was really cruel .

"My Lady . " Ping’er came out and said .

"Huh?" Hua Yueling stood up . It was late, and it was time for her to have your beauty sleep .

"My Lady, do you want to help the Lord find a madam?" Ping’er asked in a mysterious tone .

Hua Yueling felt something wrong when she heard this . She turned around and said, "Yes, do you have a recommendation? Or does Dad already have a crush on someone?"

"You’re so right . In fact, there is a breakfast restaurant in East Street, called ’Qingyan Tower’ . The Lord goes there after the levee to have breakfast every morning . " Ping’er said mysteriously .

"Oh? Get to the point . " Hua Yueling’s curiosity was aroused .

"The owner of Qingyan Tower is a woman about 30 years old . " Ping’er said with a wicked smile .

"It turns out that my father has had a crush on that landlady for a long time, hasn’t he?" Hua Yueling also smiled .

"Hearing from Ah Tong that the lord seems to appreciate the landlady a lot . No matter how angry he is with the Emperor, everything is nothing when he goes to Qingyan Tower . "

"How about us going there for breakfast tomorrow morning?" Hua Yueling was excited . She liked this father and this family . There was no substitute for family affection in her eyes . As a daughter, she could do anything to free him from loneliness .

"That’s a good idea! I heard that the Crystal Dumplings there are so delicious . " Ping’er clapped her hands happily . Just now she was depressed that she didn’t eat the duck tongue this afternoon .

Hua Yueling said contemptuously, "What else can you do except eating?"

Ping’er thought about it seriously and said, "Direct the right way!"

Hua Yueling paused, then laughed . Indeed, since she didn’t have the sense of direction, she had to rely on Ping’er wherever she went .

"Fine, I admit you’re of some use . Now don’t be so garrulous . Go and have a rest . " Hua Yueling laughed and entered the room with her head shaking . There were so many things to do tomorrow .

In the morning of the next day, Hua Yueling got up early as usual, practicing fighting with Ye You in the yard . Now, she became more flexible and skillful . However, Ye You had known some of her odd moves, so it was more difficult for Hua Yueling to defeat him again .

After sweating, Hua Yueling gasped, "Ye You, I have to find a way to trick the damned man out of three Internal Elixirs . " Hua Yueling felt that she was not strong enough without inner energy .

"My Lady, in fact, you are really powerful . " Said Ye You, the corner of his mouth twitched .

"No! Meeting some masters like you, I will be very miserable at last even if I can win , so I must be stronger . " Hua Yueling leered at Ye You whose breath was steady .

"My Lady, I’m afraid it’s not so easy to get the elixirs from the Third Prince . " Ye You showed a helpless expression .

"I know, so I have to find a way . By the way, what does he care about most?" Hua Yueling asked after thinking about it .

"It should be her, Ouyang Ruyan . " Ye You thought for a while and said, feeling a little bit embarrassed when looking at Hua Yueling .

Hua Yueling’s mouth was crooked at once . Her slanted eyes narrowed and said, "Obedience is better than politeness . " They were going to catch assassins in the Yueman Tower tonight, weren’t they? She’d like to see how beautiful Ouyang Ruyan really was .
