That good-for-nothing Jia Kun wasn’t hard to fool.
Even if Liu Ling entered Marquis Xiaoyao’s residence, he was confident that he could leave that fellow hanging.
Jia Kun was Empress Jia’s biological brother. He naturally couldn’t abandon such an important leverage.
“You… must take care of yourself.” Song Que suddenly looked at Liu Ling.
A ripple of emotion flashed across Liu Ling’s eyes.
“Don’t worry, Master Song. I know what to do,” he immediately replied.
The Master’s worries were unnecessary. He and his elder sister had stayed in
Cloud Scent Court for so many years, yet they were still able to maintain their purity. How could they not have any tricks up their sleeves?
If he really had no other choice, there was no harm if he sacrificed himself a little to win Jia Kun over.
As long as they could overturn Empress Jia…
Song Que frowned as he looked at Liu Ling.
In the end, he did not say anything else.
He chatted with the siblings for a while longer before leaving Cloud Scent Court.
Qin Xiaoyao went to sleep after returning to the residence.
When she woke up the next day, she asked the servants to bring hot water for her to wash up and bathe.
However, just as she was about to enter the bathtub, a maidservant came to report that Princess Xiangyang had arrived.
Qin Xiaoyao wanted to ask the servants to pass a message to Princess
Xiangyang, telling her to wait for Qin Xiaoyao to finish her bath before meeting her.
To her surprise, that girl came barging into the room.
“Master! Master, here 1 come!” Soon, the sound of her chattering could be heard outside the door.
Qin Xiaoyao had no choice but to open the door to stop anyone from bothering her while she was bathing.
When Princess Xiangyang saw Qin Xiaoyao, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.
She then slapped her way to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Master! I’m here to seek refuge with you! From now on, I’ll be staying in your residence. I’ll train with you and go to the army camp to train the soldiers!” “Look! I even brought my luggage!” Princess Xiangyang said.
At the same time, she looked behind her at the young palace maid and young eunuch who had followed her.
The young palace maid and the young eunuch were carrying bundles in their hands and on their backs. They seemed to have brought a lot of things.
Qin Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
“Do the Emperor and Empress know that Your Highness has left the palace?” she asked.
Staying in her residence? And she wanted to stay for a long time? Wasn’t this girl acting too familiar with Qin Xiaoyao?
“They know! 1 only left the palace after Mother consented!” Princess Xiangyang immediately replied.
“Mother told me to learn from Master and be respectful to Master!” As she spoke, she even tugged on Qin Xiaoyao’s arm.
Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.
Empress Jia consented? In that case, it would not be easy for her to chase the girl away.
“Ahem…” Qin Xiaoyao cleared her throat lightly and removed her arm from Princess Xiangyang’s grasp awkwardly.
“In that case, you can stay here for now.
“Xiao Lu, help Her Highness move into the Orchid Courtyard,” Qin Xiaoyao instructed her maidservant.
“Yes, Ma’am,” Xiao Lu hurriedly bowed and answered.
Princess Xiangyang was delighted.
“Then Master, I’ll take my leave first.
“Please have your bath first. I’ll come back later!” After saying that, Princess Xiangyang scooted off.
Qin Xiaoyao shook her head helplessly as she watched the young girl leave.
It seemed that this girl knew that she was going to take a bath…
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t think any further and returned to her room.
She began to wash up and bathe.
By the time she came out, the sun was already shining warmly in the sky.
Today was her day off, so she didn’t plan to go out.
She moved a chair out and lay down on it, basking in the sun.
The weather was really comfortable…
“Hehe! Master, Master, I’m here…” Qin Xiaoyao was enjoying herself when she suddenly heard a familiar laughter.
Following that, the voice came closer and soon reached her ear.
“Master, your recliner looks comfortable! Do you have another one? I also want to lie down and accompany you to bask in the sun.”
Wow! When Master let down her hair, her female appearance was so beautiful.
And when she was lying down on the recliner leisurely, she appeared even more extraordinary.
Sure enough, no matter what kind of posture a martial arts expert maintained, her bearing was different from other people’s.
“There’s another one in the room. If you don’t find it troublesome, you can move it yourself,” Qin Xiaoyao did not even raise her head as she replied to her languidly.
She was in a lazy mood and did not bother to be polite to Princess Xiangyang.
Furthermore, this girl was also behaving in an overly familiar manner with her.
It was meaningless for her to be polite to her.
“Heh! Alright!” Princess Xiangyang answered happily.
Immediately, she went off to do the task herself and did not ask her servants to help.
She entered Qin Xiaoyao’s room and moved out another recliner.
After placing it beside Qin Xiaoyao, she lay down next to her.
As soon as she lay down, the slightly bright sunlight shone on Princess
Xiangyang’s eyelids.
It was slightly glaring, so she closed her eyes.
As she enjoyed the warmth of the sun, Princess Xiangyang did not open her eyes again. She imitated Qin Xiaoyao and closed her eyes to rest.
“So comfortable…” she muttered.
The corner of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up.
“You can bask in the sun anywhere. Is it uncomfortable to bask in the sun in your own residence?” she asked with a smile.
This girl gave her the feeling that she was too clingy, like a lump of sticky candy.
She was also a little like a sparrow, chirping non-stop. She really talked a lot. “How is that the same? When I’m by Master’s side, I feel that even the air smelled fragrant,” Princess Xiangyang said happily.
Qin Xiaoyao knew that she was bluffing, but she still laughed.
This girl was really honey-tongued, and her words sounded very sincere too. “Rest for a while. When my hair is dry, I will teach you again,” Qin Xiaoyao said. Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she would just accompany this girl to pass the time.
Hmm, the title “Master” sounded pretty pleasing.
“Sure! Thank you, Master!” Princess Xiangyang immediately said.
Thus, the master and disciple continued to lie there languidly.
In the beginning, Princess Xiangyang would talk to Qin Xiaoyao from time to time.
As time passed, she felt sleepy.
Then, the two of them fell asleep just like that.
When Qin Xiaoyao woke up, she realized that the young girl was still asleep.
As she looked at the young girl’s cute sleeping face, Qin Xiaoyao stretched and got up.
She entered her room and brought a thin blanket over.
After that, she covered the young girl’s body with the blanket.
It was getting windy. She had a sturdy physique and would be fine even if she fell asleep in the open. However, this girl might not be so lucky.
As a result, the young girl woke up just as the thin blanket was draped over her.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw that it was Qin Xiaoyao.
However, the young girl closed her eyes again.
“Master…” she called out drowsily.
Her soft and gentle voice almost melted Qin Xiaoyao’s heart.
She suddenly wondered if she and her husband were to have a daughter in the future, would she also be so cute…
Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile. She said gently, “Sleep a little longer. 1’11 wake you up when lunch is ready.”
“Mm-hmm,” Princess Xiangyang murmured without opening her eyes. Then, she continued to sleep.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled again when she saw the young girl’s expression.
She straightened up and returned to her room.
She tied up her hair and changed into a smart set of clothes before heading to the kitchen.
She felt very energetic after a good nap. She thought she would go to the kitchen to make something she liked.
What should she eat? Naturally, it was hotpot.
Although there were many delicacies in ancient times, there were not many dishes with strong flavors.
She had not eaten the hotpot for many days, and her mouth felt so bland that everything was almost tasteless..
