Marriage

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yun Niang was not in a hurry to rest and went to Qin Xiaoyao’s courtyard.

Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que were surprised to see Yun Niang come over so late at night.

“Why are you smiling so happily?” Qin Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

The corners of Yun Niang’s mouth curled up even higher.

“Cousin-in-law, you are really smart.”

“Oh?” Qin Xiaoyao became interested.

Even Song Que looked at Yun Niang.

Yun Niang then told the couple what she was thinking.

“It’s rare to come across someone who can tug at my younger brother Ling’s heartstrings. I… want to fulfill their wishes.”

Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que exchanged a glance, and a glint flashed across their eyes that indicated, “As 1 expected.”

Song Que turned to look at Yun Niang.

“We have no objections to this matter,” he said with a smile.

A joyous expression broke out on Yun Niang’s face. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Then, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Then 1’11 have to trouble Cousin-in-law to bring up the matter of marriage to Empress Jia on behalf of our Liu family tomorrow,” she said.

Qin Xiaoyao was astonished.

This girl acted so fast?

However, her astonishment did not stop her from consenting to help. “Alright.”

Yun Niang was delighted and finally felt relieved.

“Then… I won’t intrude upon Elder Cousin and Cousin-in-law anymore. 1 will take my leave.”

“I’ll send you off.” Qin Xiaoyao prepared to get up.

“No need.” Yun Niang turned down her offer and hurriedly left.

Finally, the next day arrived.

Princess Xiangyang boarded the horse carriage first.

However, after getting into the horse carriage, she did not see Qin Xiaoyao get in.

As she pulled aside the curtain of the horse carriage to check outside, she saw that Qin Xiaoyao had already mounted her horse.

She opened her mouth as she was thinking of asking her Master to accompany her in the carriage so that she could chat with her.

However, the words stopped at the tip of Princess Xiangyang’s tongue.

She put down the curtain and sat back in the horse carriage.

The coachman quickly drove forward and the horse carriage rocked and swayed as it traveled.

Princess Xiangyang, who was sitting in the carriage, felt tormented by emotional conflicts.

Initially, she had already made up her mind to stay in the capital to accompany her Empress Mother.

However, Sister Yun Niang’s words last night made her waver.

Today might be her last chance to be with Young Master Liu.

If she gave up, their relationship might really come to an end.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyao rode her horse up front with a big smile.

She turned around and looked at the horse carriage behind her.

Today, she chose to ride a horse into the palace. Other than feeling that the air was better on horseback, she also did not want to talk too much with her disciple.

Last night, Yun Niang had come to ask her for help, so she just had to do as Yun Niang said. She would not listen to anything else.

The two of them finally arrived at the palace gate. Qin Xiaoyao was full of anticipation while Princess Xiangyang was caught up in conflicting emotions.

After that, they went to Guan Ju Palace where Empress Jia was currently staying.

There were guards keeping watch outside Guan Ju Palace. When they saw Qin Xiaoyao appear, they hurriedly bowed.

“Greetings, Lord Marquis!”

After bowing, the head of the guards saw that Princess Xiangyang was right behind Qin Xiaoyao, so he bowed at Princess Xiangyang as well.

“Greetings, Your Highness!”

“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao responded.

“We want to go in and meet the retired Empress,” she said.

“This way please…” The head guard immediately stepped aside.

Princess Xiangyang shifted her gaze from the head guard to her master.

She sighed in her heart.

Previously, she had come over several times to visit her Empress Mother. However, this person refused to allow her in.

Now, when her Master arrived, this guard didn’t even ask any questions and simply allowed them to enter.

Indeed, she was now just a princess in name only without any authority.

As she followed Qin Xiaoyao into Guan Ju Palace, Princess Xiangyang quickly gathered her emotions.

While walking with Qin Xiaoyao to the interior, she observed the surroundings of Guan Ju Palace.

The courtyard of Guan Ju Palace was very plain, with very few flowers and plants.

At the same time, after the two of them came in, they did not find a single servant.

When they finally arrived at the front of the palace, Princess Xiangyang finally saw the head palace maid who used to serve her Empress Mother.

“Your Highness!” When the head palace maid who used to serve Empress Jia saw Princess Xiangyang, she quickly came forward to welcome her.

However, when she saw Qin Xiaoyao standing in front of Princess Xiangyang, her happy footsteps stopped again.

“Greetings, Marquis Xiaoyao!” She immediately withdrew the joy on her face and bowed to Qin Xiaoyao with some trepidation.

Before Qin Xiaoyao could say anything, Princess Xiangyang had already walked out from behind her.

“Why are you the only one in the palace? Where is my Empress Mother?” she asked anxiously.

The palace maid raised her head and glanced at Qin Xiaoyao.

Then, she lowered his head and answered Princess Xiangyang.

“Prince Huaiyin only allowed Her Royal Highness to bring two palace maids.

Only Nanny Gui and I followed her.”

That day, Empress Jia had given instructions that the servants were free to decide whether to follow her.

In the end, only she and Nanny Gui volunteered to follow.

Empress Jia had treated her well in the past. Even if Empress Jia was in trouble now, she would always follow her.

“Your Highness, don’t worry. Although there are fewer attendants, Guan Ju Palace still has everything. Even if we lacked something, someone would give it to us. Her Royal Highness is currently doing well.”

Although Empress Jia was banished to the Cold Palace, the Emperor was still concerned about her all this while.

He would order people to send things over every three to five days so that they wouldn’t have to live a miserable life.

Upon hearing this, Princess Xiangyang felt much more at ease.

“Take us to meet Empress Mother,” she then said.

“Yes, Your Highness,” the palace maid hurriedly replied.

Soon, she led Qin Xiaoyao and Princess Xiangyang into the hall.

Empress Jia heard some movement outside and had just asked Nanny Gui to go out to check what was happening.

Thereafter, she saw Qin Xiaoyao and Princess Xiangyang.

Empress Jia was astounded.

She opened her mouth but no words came out.

Then, she raised her arms.

Princess Xiangyang could no longer control her emotions at that point.

“Empress Mother!” she called out and immediately ran towards Empress Jia.

Then, she flung herself into Empress Jia’s arms.

“Empress Mother…”

Empress Jia hugged her daughter tightly, her heart overwhelmed by a warm sensation.

Nearby, the palace maid and Nanny Gui wiped their tears and excused themselves after exchanging a glance with each other.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw this scene, she also felt somewhat moved.

Just as she was considering whether she should excuse herself too and leave some private space and time for the mother and daughter, Empress Jia looked at her.

“Marquis Xiaoyao, please take a seat,” Empress Jia said.

Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, she accepted the invitation.

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness!” She cupped her hands at Empress Jia.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Empress Jia’s face.

She wanted to say something but eventually didn’t.

Qin Xiaoyao felt a little awkward when Empress Jia kept staring at her.

She was the reason that Empress Jia was in this state.

After avoiding Empress Jia’s gaze, Qin Xiaoyao found a stool and sat down.

She even deliberately sat a little further away from Empress Jia.

When she saw this, Princess Xiangyang freed herself from Empress Jia’s arms.

“Empress Mother, it is all thanks to Master’s help that I am able to enter Guan Ju Palace to visit you,” she said.

Empress Jia looked at Qin Xiaoyao again.

“I have to thank Marquis Xiaoyao for this matter then,” she said.

“Haha! Your Royal Highness is too polite,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

When she saw the awkwardness on Qin Xiaoyao’s face, Empress Jia smiled.

“Marquis Xiaoyao, you don’t have to be so reserved,” she said.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao looking in her direction with a somewhat guilty expression, she smiled again and continued, “As far as I’m concerned, being able to live peacefully in this Guan Ju Palace is already very good.

“Perhaps all of this is thanks to you, Marquis Xiaoyao.”

Prince Huaiyin and Song Que were unlikely to pity her. She was able to keep her life probably because of Marquis Xiaoyao..
