Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Soon, Qin Xiaoyao sent Princess Xiangyang to the guest room.
Qin Xiaoyao threw her onto the bed and was about to leave when she was stopped by Princess Xiangyang.
“Don’t go, Master! Don’t go!” The little girl cried out in a drunken voice.
Obviously, Princess Xiangyang was not completely drunk. She had taken advantage of the alcohol to act crazy.
Qin Xiaoyao tried moving forward and realized that she couldn’t break free.
When she turned around and saw the pitiful look on the little girl’s face, she finally couldn’t bear it any longer.
She sighed and sat back on the bed.
She wanted to comfort Princess Xiangyang, but after some thought, she said, “You are a beauty born of a noble family. You have no lack of male suitors at your disposal. Why do you have to get so hung up over some unworthy swain like Liu Ling?”
Initially, she wanted to say, “There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why get stuck in a one-sided relationship with a blade of seaweed?” However, she was afraid that the little girl would not understand, so she changed her words.
“Hehe… No lack of male suitors? Can’t 1 look for a suitor like Young Master Liu…” Xiangyang retorted.
“What unworthy swain? Young Master Liu is not an unworthy swain! He is so good-looking. Even if he’s a swain, he is a good-looking swain.”
“Boo hoo… Master, 1 really like Young Master Liu. Just like how Master likes her husband, I, too, like him very much! My heart and eyes are totally occupied by him.”
“Even if he rejects me, 1 still like him! Boo hoo… Anyway… anyway, I am already beyond redemption. Master… Master, please help me!” Princess Xiangyang begged somewhat incoherently.
She even reached out and grabbed Qin Xiaoyao tightly.
Qin Xiaoyao frowned.
“Let go first,” she said.
“No… I won’t. Unless Master agrees to help me.” To her surprise, Princess Xiangyang began to act like a shameless brat and grabbed Qin Xiaoyao even more tightly.
Qin Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed even more tightly. She exerted force abruptly and broke free from Princess Xiangyang’s grasp.
When she saw that little girl almost falling off the bed because she broke free, she became nervous momentarily.
Then, she took two steps back to avoid getting grabbed by Princess Xiangyang again.
“Boo hoo… Master, even you are bullying me…” When she saw Qin Xiaoyao’s attitude, Princess Xiangyang burst into tears at once.
This time, she was really crying her heart out. Her tears and snot were all gushing out.
Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t bear it anymore.
Finally, she opened her mouth again.
“He has already rejected you. Why are you still hankering after him?”
Princess Xiangyang raised her head and pouted in an aggrieved manner.
“Then why didn’t you give up when your husband rejected you previously?”
Even if she rejected him, it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t stand a chance.
Weren’t Master and her husband the perfect example before her eyes?
Qin Xiaoyao almost choked on that question and became speechless.
Then, she retorted somewhat angrily, “How can my situation be the same as yours?”
This silly little girl was always comparing herself to her master.
Qin Xiaoyao had strong psychological endurance and would do anything to achieve her goals. How could this girl compare to her?
Her husband also had strong psychological endurance and was not a simple character. Liu Ling couldn’t even compare him.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao was truly remorseful.
If she had known earlier, she would not have been so smug and bragged about her past to the little girl.
“Of course, it’s different. I’m even more persistent than you, Master!” Princess Xiangyang immediately retorted angrily.
Then, as if she was encouraging herself, she proclaimed loudly, “In any case, I won’t stop until I capture Young Master Liu’s heart!”
Qin Xiaoyao felt a headache coming on.
Then, she replied with some frustration, “Alright, alright, alright. You can decide for yourself. Just don’t drag me into it.”
With that, she prepared to walk out.
Princess Xiangyang panicked at once.
She quickly got off the bed and stumbled and scrambled to go after Qin
Xiaoyao. Then, she grabbed her master again.
“Master! Master, you have to help me!” she begged.
“I can’t help you.” Qin Xiaoyao rejected her outright.
Princess Xiangyang became anxious now.
Then, with a thud, she knelt on the ground.
Qin Xiaoyao, who was about to shirk off that incredibly clingy girl, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Master, please take it that I’m begging you!”
“As long as you promise to help me, I’ll do anything you want me to do in the future!” Princess Xiangyang said pitifully but sincerely.
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart shuddered momentarily.
She quickly went to help Princess Xiangyang to her feet.
“Stop fooling around. You are a princess, and everything below your knees is more valuable than gold. How can you kneel to anyone so casually?”
Although she was the girl’s master, she could not accept such a big show of respect from her other than on the day she acknowledged her as her master.
Princess Xiangyang refused to be helped up by Qin Xiaoyao to her feet.
“As long as Master agrees to help me pursue Young Master Liu, I am willing to kneel. I’ll even kowtow to you!” Princess Xiangyang said loudly.
As she said that, it wasn’t known if she was influenced by the alcohol, but she really kowtowed to Qin Xiaoyao twice with two resounding knocks.
Qin Xiaoyao was aghast.
Finally, she reached out and forcefully yanked Princess Xiangyang to her feet.
However, Princess Xiangyang was unwilling to get up and even tried to struggle free. She wanted to continue kowtowing to Qin Xiaoyao in order to coerce Qin Xiaoyao to help her.
“Alright! Stand properly and talk. Otherwise, I really won’t care about you!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a stern voice.
Princess Xiangyang’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She finally allowed Qin Xiaoyao to pull her up and stood up straight.
After standing properly, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a pitiful expression.
“Master…” she called out.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang in annoyance.
“I really don’t know where you learned to be so thick-skinned!” she said with some annoyance.
The Emperor and Empress Jia were high and mighty, and they both appeared to have calm characters. How come their daughter was afflicted with such a problem?
Princess Xiangyang smiled and shamelessly leaned on Qin Xiaoyao.
Thereafter she rubbed herself against Qin Xiaoyao like a spoiled child.
“Who else could I have learned from? From you, of course!” she said ingratiatingly.
Qin Xiaoyao was utterly speechless.
“Hehe! Master, how are you going to help me?” After waiting for a while, Princess Xiangyang took the initiative to ask before Qin Xiaoyao could speak.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang, feeling a little stifled.
Then, she sighed.
“This kind of thing can’t be rushed.
“After this, don’t meet Liu Ling for the time being.”
Princess Xiangyang immediately panicked.
“How can this be acceptable?”
Qin Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.
“Why is it not acceptable?”
Following that, she added, “After this, let me speak for you.”
“Firstly, whether intentionally or otherwise, I will say more good things about you in front of him to soften his heart.
“Secondly, distance creates fondness. If you don’t take the initiative to appear in front of him for a period of time, he wall begin to appreciate your good points.
“And, also…” Qin Xiaoyao gave Princess Xiangyang a look of speechless resignation.
“And also what?” Princess Xiangyang asked immediately. What Master said actually made sense.
A look of helplessness flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.
“Also, you’re a girl after all. It’s better for you to be more reserved.” How could a young girl be so shameless?
Princess Xiangyang felt very aggrieved and immediately tried to defend herself.
Qin Xiaoyao raised a hand and clenched it into a fist. She spoke first, “Don’t compare yourself to me. My two fists can slay a bull. Can yours?”
Princess Xiangyang shook her head.
Of course, not..
