Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

In the kitchen, with all the necessary tools prepared and Xu Linghe helping on the side, Feng Qingyi found the process of making drinks quite smooth.

It didn't take long for Feng Qingyi to create several types of beverages. After Xu Linghe tasted them, she took them to the teahouse waiters for sampling.

"Qingyi, they all say the taste is great. I think we can start selling these right away!"

"In that case, I'll teach Xuzhou and the others how to make them later. We'll try introducing them tomorrow and see how people respond," Feng Qingyi said.

Xu Linghe asked, "Qingyi, can I take some of these home? I'd like to bring some for my parents!"

Feng Qingyi found the cups they had just bought at the supermarket.

"Of course. There's enough fruit and ice. I'll make some more for you to take, and I'm planning to go to the General's Mansion later to bring them some drinks as well."

Since they were planning to sell cold drinks, Feng Qingyi had specifically bought two large boxes of biodegradable plastic cups, which were perfect for holding these beverages.

While making the drinks, Feng Qingyi suddenly thought of Qin Yuchuan. Since they had bought a lot this time, she could prepare some for him too.

"Linghe, is this enough for you to take back?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Xu Linghe looked at the more than twenty cups of drinks on the table. "Five cups are enough for me. You can send the rest to the General's Mansion!"

Feng Qingyi said, "Why don't you help me run an errand? I remember your house isn't far from the General's Mansion."

Xu Linghe nodded, "That's fine. I'll take all of these then."

Feng Qingyi put the lidded drinks into the plastic bags they had used earlier. "Thank you for the trouble. I'm planning to make some other things."

"I'll deliver these first and come back to find you later," Xu Linghe said as she hurriedly left with a large bag.

Feng Qingyi continued making more drinks, planning to send them to Qin Yuchuan after she finished.

At the Tianqi Military Camp, Qin Yuchuan was listening to Yan Chi and Yan Yang's report on the frontline situation.

Suddenly, he heard his phone ring. He took out his phone and saw: "You have a new item waiting to be received."

After clicking to receive, a purple drink suddenly appeared on his desk.

Qin Yuchuan picked up the cup, looked at it, and found grapes and ice cubes inside.

Just as he was about to reply to Feng Qingyi, his phone showed another notification: "You have a new item waiting to be received."

He clicked to receive again, and this time an orange drink appeared.

After that, his phone kept ringing, with new items constantly waiting to be received.

Qin Yuchuan looked at the table full of drinks of various colors, feeling somewhat helpless.

[Yuchuan: ?]

[Qingyi: I made them all. Try them quickly and see if they taste good!]

[Yuchuan: There are so many. When will I be able to finish them?]

[Qingyi: You can choose your favorite to drink and give the rest to others.]

Qin Yuchuan chose a purple drink and took a sip. It had a very sweet grape flavor.

[Yuchuan: Hmm, why did you suddenly start making drinks?]

[Qingyi: I'm planning to sell these drinks at the teahouse, so I'm trying to make some first to see how people react.]

[Yuchuan: Whatever Qingyi makes must be delicious.]

[Qingyi: You haven't even tasted them and you're just saying that. You're being too perfunctory!]

[Yuchuan: How do you know I haven't tasted them?]

[Qingyi: I guessed.]

[Yuchuan: You guessed wrong. I've tried them. The grape flavor is very good.]

[Qingyi: I see. Then I'll make more for you later.]

[Yuchuan: Alright.]

[Qingyi: I won't bother you anymore. Work hard and good luck!]

Qin Yuchuan put down his phone and saw Yan Chi and Yan Yang staring at him intently. "Where were we just now? Please continue!"

Yan Chi snapped back to attention, "We were just saying that there have been some recent riots in the Southern Frontier Kingdom. The Crown Prince Murong Cheng was assassinated and his fate is unknown. It seems Murong Yi is preparing to take this opportunity to return to the capital..."

After Yan Chi and Yan Yang finished reporting, they were about to leave when Qin Yuchuan called them back.

"Except for these two cups, take the rest down and share them with everyone!"

Yan Yang and Yan Chi exchanged a glance and quickly carried the drinks out.

Outside the tent, they distributed the drinks one by one.

Na Muqi came over just as Yan Chi and Yan Yang were handing out the drinks.

"What are you holding?" he asked.

Yan Chi replied, "Drinks. The General told us to share them with everyone."

Na Muqi took a cup from Yan Chi's hand. "This thing, why is the color so strange?"

Yan Chi and Yan Yang each kept a cup for themselves and distributed the rest.

Hearing Na Muqi's words, Yan Chi said, "Try it and you'll know. I think it should taste good."

Yan Yang directly opened the lid and took a sip, then couldn't help but exclaim, "This is simply heavenly!"

Seeing both of them speak so highly of it, Na Muqi also opened the lid and took a sip.

With just one sip, Na Muqi felt like he was about to die.

How could there be something so unpalatable in this world? It was bitter and sour. He suspected it might be poison!

"What is this thing? It's bitter, sour, and icy!"

Yan Chi opened his cup and tasted it. "How can that be? Mine is sweet."

Yan Yang also said, "Mine is sweet too."

Others who had received the drinks also tasted them and expressed their satisfaction.

Na Muqi asked, "So, is mine the only bitter one?"

"Well, not exactly. I remember the General also kept a green one. Maybe that one is bitter too," Yan Yang said.

Hearing this answer, Na Muqi said, "I'll go in and see."

When Na Muqi entered the tent, Qin Yuchuan was drinking the green beverage Yan Yang had mentioned.

Na Muqi looked at Qin Yuchuan. His expression didn't change at all; it was impossible to tell from his face whether it tasted good or not.

"General, how do you find the taste?" Na Muqi asked.

Qin Yuchuan replied, "It tastes very good!"

"...Very good?" This green drink looked so unappetizing, how could it taste very good!

Na Muqi asked, "May I ask where these drinks came from, General?"

"They were gifted by someone," Qin Yuchuan said.

Na Muqi remembered Qin Yuchuan's small box. Previously, he had wanted to destroy it. Could it be that the General was now taking revenge on him?

But that was so long ago. Later, when the General found someone he liked, Na Muqi no longer worried about any emotional entanglement with the person in the small box. Moreover, since Princess Xuanyuan Xi didn't mind, he stopped meddling in the affair.

So, was the General suddenly remembering the past events and giving him a warning?

But he hadn't done anything to offend him recently!

Qin Yuchuan saw Na Muqi standing there lost in thought. "Is there something else?"

Na Muqi quickly shook his head. "No, I'll take my leave now."

It seemed he would have to be careful for a while and avoid wandering aimlessly in front of the General.

In Shengjing, at the General's Mansion.

Xu Linghe knocked on the main door of the General's Mansion, and someone quickly opened it to welcome her in.

Xu Linghe was led to Xuanyuan Xi's courtyard, where Bai Wei served her a cup of tea.

"Miss Xu, the Princess will be here shortly. Please sit here and rest for a moment."

Xu Linghe handed the items she was carrying to Bai Wei. "There's no need. I'm just here to deliver something."

Bai Wei looked at the things that had been handed to her. "Miss Xu, what are these?"

Xu Linghe replied, "These are drinks that Qingyi asked me to bring to you. She called them summer heat-relieving beverages, and she made them herself."

Xuanyuan Xi had just walked out when she heard what Xu Linghe said.

"Drinks made by Qingyi herself? I must try them properly."

Bai Wei selected a cup and handed it to Xuanyuan Xi. "Princess, please!"

Xuanyuan Xi looked at the cup, hesitating a bit as she didn't know how to open it.

Xu Linghe quickly took it and helped open the lid.

Xuanyuan Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu, for making a special trip for this."

Xu Linghe replied, "No need for thanks. Qingyi and I are friends, so her business is my business."

"Qingyi is new here and not yet familiar with Shengjing. We're fortunate to have you, Miss Xu. I hope you can continue to take good care of her in the future," Xuanyuan Xi said gently.

Xu Linghe felt somewhat overwhelmed by the honor. "Princess Xuanyuan Xi, you're too kind. Qingyi and I are best friends. I will take good care of her. I need to go find Qingyi now, so I'll take my leave."

Xuanyuan Xi looked at Bai Wei. "Please see Miss Xu out."

After Bai Wei escorted Xu Linghe out, she returned to the courtyard to find Xuanyuan Xi drinking the beverage that Xu Linghe had helped open.

"Princess, this Miss Xu seems different from the rumors," Bai Wei remarked.

Xuanyuan Xi: "As I said, it's just a rumor. How much of it can be true? Feng Qingyi has her reasons for choosing to be friends with her. We don't need to interfere."

"There are so many drinks here. It seems Feng Qingyi has included everyone in the mansion. Take one for yourself, and have the rest distributed to everyone else."

Bai Wei nodded, "Alright."

After distributing the drinks, Bai Wei tasted her own. It was sweet and sour with a hint of tea fragrance, a flavor she had never experienced before.

"I never imagined Lady Feng Qingyi could make such delicious drinks. I've decided to visit the Peng Lai Residence one of these days."

Xuanyuan Xi: "If you see her, ask her to come to the mansion. I have some things I need to discuss with her."

"Princess, Miss Feng Qingyi has sent a large block of ice. She said the weather has been too hot these days, and it should be placed in your courtyard to cool things down," several guards carried a large block of ice into Xuanyuan Xi's courtyard.

Bai Wei quickly directed them, "Be careful, take it inside the room."

After the guards placed the ice block and hurriedly left, Bai Wei looked at the screen-sized ice block that was emitting cold air.

"Princess, Lady Feng Qingyi must be worried that you might get heatstroke in this hot weather. That's why she specially arranged for such a large ice block. With this ice, the room is indeed much cooler."

Xuanyuan Xi looked at the crystal-clear ice block, "That's thoughtful of her."

Bai Wei: "I think Lady Feng Qingyi must always be thinking of you, Princess. It's just that with the General not at home, it's not appropriate for her to come here every day."

"I really hope the General returns soon. Then Lady Feng Qingyi can marry the General smoothly."

Xuanyuan Xi: "I'm looking forward to that day too!"
