Princess Xiangyang glanced at Qin Xiaoyao and didn’t talk about this matter anymore.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw this, her eyes flickered slightly.

“Do you… want to follow me to Mountain Spring Town?” she suddenly asked.

Empress Jia had already fallen. After this, even if Prince Huaiyin did not make things difficult for Xiangyang, as a princess, her situation would not be that optimistic.

That being the case, instead of staying in the capital, perhaps it might be better if she left with Qin Xiaoyao as well.

Although as a princess, her status was noble, the corresponding responsibilities she had to shoulder were not light.

If Xiangyang followed Qin Xiaoyao, at least the girl would be able to have more control over her marriage in the future.

Moreover, this girl had learned how to run a business from Liu Ling for a period of time. She was actually quite talented in this aspect.

If she followed Qin Xiaoyao to Mountain Spring Town, the girl would not have to worry about having no job to do.

The other thing was…

In her heart, Qin Xiaoyao actually hoped that her disciple and Liu Ling could try again.

In the beginning, she felt that it was impossible for the two of them as they had totally incompatible backgrounds.

However, after observing for a while, Qin Xiaoyao realized that Liu Ling was actually not totally without feelings toward Xiangyang. In fact, there were even some feelings that he himself did not notice.

Since the grudges of the previous generation had ended and if Xiangyang was willing to abandon her identity as a princess, then it might not be impossible for Xiangyang and Liu Ling to develop their relationship further.

Princess Xiangyang was stunned momentarily.

Her heart began racing.

However, she quickly suppressed her thumping heart.

Then, she rejected her Master’s invitation. “I don’t think so.”

How could she possibly face Young Master Liu again in her current state?

With her status, going to Mountain Spring Town with her Master would only cause trouble for everyone.

In addition, Emperor Father and Empress Mother were confined in the palace.

It was hard for her to feel at ease if she went so far away.

When she saw that her disciple’s expression had become dejected, a touch of heartache flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s heart once again.

“If you’re worried…” Qin Xiaoyao was about to say that no one would treat her as an enemy.

However, Princess Xiangyang interrupted her.

“Master, don’t try to persuade me. I want to stay in the capital.”

Qin Xiaoyao was surprised momentarily.

She then finally gave up on persuading the girl.

The two of them fell silent again.

After a while, Princess Xiangyang changed the topic.

“After Master and Young Master Liu leave, there is no one suitable to take care of the century egg business in the capital.

“Master, if you don’t mind, how about you hand over all the business in the capital to me? 1 will definitely manage the business well for you, Master,” Princess Xiangyang said solemnly.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang and saw her forcing out a smile.

“Alright.” Thereafter, Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

Princess Xiangyang smiled again, trying her best to make herself smile more happily.

“Thank you, Master!” she expressed her thanks again.

Qin Xiaoyao sighed and looked away.

Princess Xiangyang also shifted her gaze and started rocking her reclining chair.

Suddenly, Princess Xiangyang said, “Master, 1 really admire you.”

“Oh?” Qin Xiaoyao did not open her eyes and replied lazily.

She was so outstanding that it was normal for others to admire her.

Princess Xiangyang smiled.

Her response to Qin Xiaoyao’s self-indulgent reply was only a few words in her heart, “As I predicted.”

She then continued, “Perhaps all the women in the world are envious of my Empress Mother, but I’m envious of you.”

Qin Xiaoyao was finally interested.

“Oh? Indeed, compared to your Empress Mother, I also feel that my situation is better. Hehe!”

Princess Xiangyang turned her head to look at Qin Xiaoyao again, her expression somewhat speechless.

Her Master was really…

Princess Xiangyang continued, “Empress Mother is greatly favored by Emperor Father, but Emperor Father is unable to make her his only one.

“If she were a heartless person, then so be it. She could have used that favor to ascend to the throne and hold absolute power, which would have been beneficial to her remaining infallible.”

Princess Xiangyang sighed at this point.

“But she isn’t.

“Everyone says that she is full of ambition and blinded by greed.

“But if she was truly blinded by greed, the Huangfu clan would have lost control of its kingdom long ago. How can Second Brother and you guys still defeat her?”

Qin Xiaoyao finally turned her head and looked at Princess Xiangyang.

When she saw that Princess Xiangyang did not look at her and was still rocking on the reclining chair, Qin Xiaoyao withdrew her gaze.

Following that, she smiled and continued with her leisurely rocking.

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiaoyao said, “Come to think of it, you do have a point.”

If Empress Jia had completely disregarded the Emperor’s wishes and killed Prince Huaiyin from the beginning…

Prince Huaiyin would not have been able to grow up. Then how could he have retaliated against her today?

Furthermore, if she really wanted to seize the Huangfu clan’s empire, who could stop her if the Emperor did not stop her?

The courtiers all felt that Empress Jia was overbearing and autocratic.

However, if she thought about it carefully, Empress Jia was in fact not overbearing enough, nor was she autocratic enough.

Qin Xiaoyao had always felt that Empress Jia was the person in this era who bore the greatest similarity to her own personality.

Now, on second thought, it seemed that Empress Jia was still deeply influenced by feudal ethics.

Princess Xiangyang smiled.

“It’s still the best to be like Master.

“You have no ambition, and you are brave enough to pursue what you like. You can do what you like without any restrictions or scruples.”

Qin Xiaoyao tilted her head and thought for a moment before nodding again.

“That’s my personality,” she replied.

Princess Xiangyang smiled again.

“Master, your personality is really good.

“I’m very envious.”

She once wanted to follow in her Master’s footsteps and live a carefree and happy life.

However, later on, she realized that she could not do it.

Qin Xiaoyao froze for a moment as she suddenly recalled something.

“Well… maybe you can, too?” She looked at Princess Xiangyang in a probing manner.

“With Liu Ling…”

“Master, don’t mention this matter anymore.” Before Qin Xiaoyao could finish, she was interrupted by Princess Xiangyang.

Immediately after that, Qin Xiaoyao saw a bitter smile on Princess Xiangyang’s face.

“Previously, I felt that I could be like you, Master. However, ever since the incident with my Empress Mother, I realized that I couldn’t do it.”

She was not confident that Young Master Liu would accept someone like her, who was the daughter of his enemy.

She was even more afraid that Young Master Liu would look at her with hatred.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face was fraught with conflicting emotions.

After a while, she sighed and said, “In terms of being thick-skinned, you are indeed inferior to me.”

Pfft! Princess Xiangyang burst out laughing.

The gloominess in her heart dissipated a lot.

“That’s right! That’s why you are my Master!” she said with a laugh.

Qin Xiaoyao also laughed.

The atmosphere between the master and the disciple finally returned to normal.

It was soon noon.

Princess Xiangyang stayed behind to have lunch in the Marquis’s residence.

In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyao did not go out either.

She continued to stay in the residence and allowed her little disciple to play with her.

Song Que returned to the residence in the evening.

When Princess Xiangyang saw Song Que, her expression was a little fearful and she immediately became uneasy.

“Lord Song…” She bowed at Song Que and did not dare to raise her head.

Previously, she felt that her master’s husband was not as approachable as he looked.

Ever since the day of her Empress Mother’s incident, her intuition had been proven correct.

The current Lord Song also did not appear approachable at all.

“Mm-hmm.” Song Que glanced at Princess Xiangyang indifferently and walked right past her.

When he looked at Qin Xiaoyao, he could not help smiling.

That smile was extremely warm and mesmerizing..
