Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Emperor looked at Empress Jia and knew that she was advocating her feminist idea that a woman was not inferior to a man, so he did not respond.

In any case, he was well aware of his youngest daughter’s capabilities. If she wanted to achieve 30% of Qin Xiaoyao’s martial arts proficiency, she would need to train hard for several years.

And with that girl’s limited amount of perseverance, he had only one word to describe the possibility of her accomplishing that, namely “unlikely.”

“Thank you, Mother! You love me the most!” Princess Xiangyang quickly went to Empress Jia and gave her a hug.

She didn’t forget to give her father a provocative glare.

Her childish behavior made the Emperor and Empress smile.

Qin Xiaoyao, who was watching from the side, also felt that this scene was very heart-warming.

This Princess Xiangyang was indeed doted upon…

With a goal in mind, Princess Xiangyang pulled Qin Xiaoyao over and asked her to teach her martial arts immediately.

However, Qin Xiaoyao had only taught her a few moves before the new disciple felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the young girl was not one to give up easily. She gritted her teeth and persisted.

In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyao was asked to stay back in the palace to have lunch with the Emperor, the Empress and Princess Xiangyang.

She didn’t leave the palace until the afternoon and was taken to her own residence by the palace staff.

The Marquis Xiaoyao’s residence was on the same street as the residence of the Prince of Huaiyin, but they were separated by more than half a street and could be considered quite far apart.

Qin Xiaoyao felt that this was probably the doing of that person in the palace.

However, she didn’t think too much about it and followed the caretaker into the residence.

That was right. Marquis Xiaoyao’s residence had also been allocated servants. Although there weren’t many of them, every position was filled. This was also arranged by the palace.

After Qin Xiaoyao entered, the caretaker quickly called all the servants over and asked Qin Xiaoyao to give them her orders.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say much and only told them to do their job well. Everything in the residence should be done according to the rules.

Immediately after that, she asked the caretaker to show her around the residence.

After walking around and checking out the interior of the residence, Qin Xiaoyao was extremely pleased.

Just as she was preparing to rest in her own courtyard for a while, the palace sent her some monetary reward.

Qin Xiaoyao could only go to the front yard to collect the money and thank the Imperial emissary.

Then, she kept a portion of the money in her room and handed the rest to the bookkeeper.

It was a good thing to have a Marquis’s residence, but with so many servants in the house, the expenses of the residence in the future would not be small.

In addition, if she wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, she would have to spend a lot of money on social activities in the future.

Sigh! It was simply not possible to just rely on her paltry salary.

Perhaps she still needed to set up some businesses.

At this thought, Qin Xiaoyao went to the study to write a letter to her family.

She had been away from Mountain Spring Town for a long time, and she didn’t know how her family was doing.

Now that she had settled down in the capital, she could bring her family over.

It was easier to get things done with more people. Xiaomei and the others could come and help her open a few porridge shops. It would be good to run a few shops.

After writing the letter, Qin Xiaoyao asked the servant to call the caretaker over and she got him to arrange for the letter to be sent out.

Following that, she left the residence and went to Prince Huaiyin’s residence.

When Prince Huaiyin heard that Qin Xiaoyao had arrived, he personally welcomed her into the front yard and then invited her to the study.

Prince Huaiyin didn’t show any odd reaction when he learned that Empress Jia had allowed Princess Xiangyang to become Qin Xiaoyao’s disciple.

“That girl Xiangyang loves to play with swords and spears. She has always wanted to be a female general.

“In the past, everyone thought that she was talking nonsense. To everyone’s surprise, a female general like you actually appeared in our Great Jin State.

“Now, she is pestering Emperor father and Empress Jia to allow her to become your disciple. This is well within expectations.

“If you have the time, just give her some pointers. If she really has that ability, it’s not impossible for her to lead the army with you in the future.

“It’s still better than being trapped in the capital and waiting until adulthood before being bundled off in a marriage alliance,” Prince Huaiyin said.

Qin Xiaoyao was a little surprised.

“Your Highness, you and Princess Xiangyang…”

Prince Huaiyin smiled.

“Although Empress Jia is against me, Xiangyang is different from her. That girl deserves everyone’s love,” he explained.

When he was young, before he left the capital, it was all thanks to that girl that he was not persecuted to death by Empress Jia.

That girl truly treated him as her second brother.

He had also already thought it through. Xiangyang was not just the daughter of Empress Jia. She was also his Emperor father’s daughter and his younger sister.

He should limit the grudge between him and Empress Jia to just the two of them. There was no need to involve more people.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded in agreement with what Prince Huaiyin said.

After that, she explained the situation of her residence.

“The residence indeed needs some capable servants. Empress Jia’s people must have been planted among those arranged by the palace.

“But there’s no rush. When Aunt Song and the others enter the capital, you can find an opportunity to slowly replace them,” Prince Huaiyin said.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

It was indeed a good reason to say that her family was not used to these servants in the residence to have them replaced.

Prince Huaiyin then turned to Qin Xiaoyao.

“Empress Jia’s intention to win you over is already very obvious.

“Henceforth, it’s better that you don’t come here so often. If there’s anything to discuss, we can talk in the army camp.”

In any case, they all had military positions. Even if they returned to the capital, they had to report to the army camp almost every day.

“Mm-hmm!” Qin Xiaoyao agreed. She was quite touched by Prince Huaiyin’s trust in her.

The two of them exchanged some more information before Qin Xiaoyao left.

After returning to the residence and having a sumptuous dinner, Qin Xiaoyao went to bed early.

Qin Xiaoyao slept on the warm and comfortable bed soundly without any dreams.

The next day, she woke up early.

After breakfast, she rode her horse and set off for the army camp.

In the end, just as she left the street where the Marquis’s residence was located, she encountered a disturbance in front of her.

A few horse carriages were blocking the middle of the road, and there were many people watching, causing traffic congestion.

Qin Xiaoyao got off her horse and led it to check on the situation.

She saw three young men in luxurious clothes bullying another young man.

The young man was in a very sorry state from all the bullying and even fell to the ground.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned subconsciously. She was just about to leave and take a detour.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly raised his head and revealed half of his face.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes widened when she caught a glimpse of that face.

This was because the young man’s appearance was very similar to her husband’s.

When she saw one of the luxuriously dressed young men lashing out with his whip at the young man, Qin Xiaoyao instinctively shot out a copper coin.

It sent the whip of the well-dressed youth flying straightaway.

“Argh… Who was it? How dare you attack me sneakily!” The well-dressed young man winced in pain. He shook his injured wrist and looked behind him.

At the same time, the other two well-dressed young men were also looking in Qin Xiaoyao’s direction with ferocious gazes.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the three of them and frowned slightly.

“I was the one,” she said in a low voice.

The three young men immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao. When they saw that it was only a thin, feeble-looking man, their faces were filled with hostility. “Hmph! You’re quite bold. You still have the guts to admit it after hurting me!

“Men! Arrest him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants standing beside the three well-dressed young men all sprang into action and headed toward Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed even deeper. She watched as the commoners stepped back and the servants surrounded her.

Very soon, a servant brandished a rod and came forward.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t move at all. She waited until the rod was right in front of her before she suddenly kicked out and sent the servant flying..
