Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon BoatTransL;

The moment she laid down, Princess Xiangyang’s previous seriousness and restraint could no longer be maintained.

Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at Princess Xiangyang. When she saw that the girl was much more relaxed than before, a smile appeared on her face. “Did you come to me because of Liu Ling?” she asked.

Other than Liu Ling, she couldn’t think of anything else that this girl could ask of her.

Now, Empress Jia had been deposed but her life had been spared. It was not impossible for a relationship to blossom between Xiangyang and Liu Ling.

Princess Xiangyang’s relaxed heart tensed up again.

A ripple flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed the emotions in her heart.

“No,” she said.

“Then what is it?” Qin Xiaoyao was puzzled.

A pleading look swept over Princess Xiangyang’s face.

“I wish to invite Master to visit my Empress Mother,” she said.

Qin Xiaoyao was astounded.

Princess Xiangyang’s expression immediately turned anxious.

“Empress Mother has been confined to the Guan Ju Palace by Second Brother. Now, even 1 can’t see her.

“Second Brother doesn’t want to see me. After thinking about it, 1 think only Master can get to see my Empress Mother.”

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

Master, don’t worry. 1 only want to meet Empress Mother and have no other intentions. I Just want to make sure that she’s fine.

“As long as Empress Mother is fine, I… 1 have nothing else to ask for.” At this point, Princess Xiangyang’s face had turned very gloomy.

Qin Xiaoyao was slightly moved when she saw this.

She reached out and held the little girl’s hand.

“Alright. I agree to help you,” she answered.

This was after all her disciple showing her filial piety. As her master, she should fulfill the girl’s wish.

Moreover, Empress Jia had indeed doted on this girl in the past.

Now that something had happened to her mother, and Qin Xiaoyao was the one responsible, Qin Xiaoyao should at least go and take a look.

When Princess Xiangyang heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

“Thank you. Master!” she hurriedly said.

Before she came, she was very nervous at first.

After all, things were different now.

Her Emperor Father and Empress Mother were under house arrest, and her Master was involved in the plan that dealt with them.

Princess Xiangyang couldn’t even be sure if her Master’s love for her in the past was intentional or if her Master truly cared about her disciple.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were filled with doting affection.

“What are you thanking me for?” she replied.

“Since when have you ever been so polite to me?”

The smile on Princess Xiangyang’s face instantly disappeared and she became silent again.

When she saw this, Qin Xiaoyao sighed in her heart.

“The Song family has a grudge against your Empress Mother, but that matter happened during the generation of Lord Song’s grandfather.

“As for Lord Song…” Qin Xiaoyao paused momentarily.

“He and his family were displaced because of your Empress Mother and so they were naturally resentful. But it’s not to the point where they want your Empress Mother to die.

“Before the Second Prince implemented his plan, he asked for Lord Song’s opinion. What he said was also true. As long as the Song family’s grievance is redressed and your Empress Mother is deposed, it is good enough.

“Now, he has achieved all he wanted so he won t make things difficult for your Empress Mother anymore.

“This much I can promise you. You can rest assured.” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang earnestly.

“Thank you. Master!” Princess Xiangyang answered at once, her eyes indicating she was visibly moved.

Qin Xiaoyao withdrew her gaze, relaxed her body, and lay back on the reclining chair.

Then, she began rocking the chair.

“There’s no need to thank me.

“I only have one disciple and that is you. In the future, don’t be so formal and distant with me.”

Princess Xiangyang’s face stiffened momentarily.

Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Your Second Brother said before that you are a simple-minded girl. You cannot be placed in the same camp as your Empress Mother.

“Lord Song and I also think so.”

Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyao placed her feet on the ground again and stopped rocking the reclining chair.

“Of course, if you hate us because we dealt with your Empress Mother and view us as your enemies…

“Then so be it. Take it that our relationship as master and disciple ends here.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang.

Princess Xiangyang panicked immediately.

“No… no! This matter is Empress Mother’s fault. How can I hate Master and Lord Song because of this?” she quickly responded.

“Master and Lord Song did not view me as an enemy because I’m the daughter of Empress Mother. For that, I am already very grateful! ”

Qin Xiaoyao smiled again.

She lay down once more and leisurely rocked the reclining chair.

“Since that’s the case, don’t address me as Lord Marquis’ in the future.

“If others hear this, they may think that your Master is very mean to you.”

Xiangyang finally laughed in amusement.

“Yes, Master,” she answered.

At the same time, her heart finally relaxed.

When she saw her master playing with the reclining chair enthusiastically. Princess Xiangyang could not resist rocking the reclining chair as well.

This reclining chair designed by her master was really comfortable.

She had to get the blueprints and ask the carpenter to fabricate a few for her in the future.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the girl beside her.

She saw her rocking the reclining chair as well. Although the girl was not rocking the chair as hard as Qin Xiaoyao, the girl was clearly much more relaxed now. The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up slightly.

“When do you want me to go see your Empress Mother?” she asked.

Xiangyang immediately stopped rocking the reclining chair.

“The sooner the better,” she quickly said.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

“Then shall 1 go now?” she asked.

Xiangyang gave a bitter smile.

“There’s no need for that.” It would be time for dinner very soon. She did not dare to trouble her Master and ask her Master to enter the palace at this hour.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and finally stopped teasing her little disciple.

“Tomorrow then.

“In addition, since you’ve come, there’s no need for you to go back today.

“Tomorrow, follow me to go visit your Empress Mother.”

Qin Xiaoyao had to send someone to send a message to Prince Huaiyin later.

She believed Prince Huaiyin would probably not stop her.

Princess Xiangyang was delighted.

“Is that possible?” she asked Qin Xiaoyao in pleasant surprise.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled confidently.

“With your Master taking you, of course, it’s possible.”

“Thank you. Master! Master is the best!” Princess Xiangyang said quickly.

Finally, she had completely recovered and reverted to Qin Xiaoyao s little fangirl.

The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up, and she felt quite pleased in her heart.

She closed her eyes and played with the reclining chair again.

When she saw this, Princess Xiangyang also rocked on her reclining chair.

One teacher and one disciple, both playing on rhe reclining chairs together.

The scene was unusually harmonious.

Since she had nothing to do, her disciple came over at the right time for Qin Xiaoyao to have someone to talk to.

Soon, she began telling Princess Xiangyang that she was preparing to return to Mountain Spring Town.

When Princess Xiangyang learned that not only were her master and her husband going back to Mountain Spring Town, but Young Master Liu and his elder sister were also going to Mountain Spring Town too, she felt a wave of sorrow in her heart.

However, she did not show it.

“Lord Song’s career is smooth sailing and he is so talented. If he stayed in the capital. Second Brother would definitely entrust him with important tasks.

“It’s quite a pity that he wants to resign and return to Mountain Spring Town now.”

She knew that her Master wanted to return to Mountain Spring Town. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Back then, her Master had told her that she would return to her fiefdom after she found her husband.

Now that her husband had been found and the big matter was completed, Master was just carrying out her earlier plan.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Princess Xiangyang.

“It is indeed a pity. However, my husband has already made up his mind and is willing to return home with me.. I can’t refuse, can I?”
