Qin Xiaoyao looked at Empress Jia again.
"Your Royal Highness…" Her awkwardness lessened considerably.
Empress Jia smiled again.
After taking a look at her daughter, she said to Qin Xiaoyao, "I also have to thank you for bringing Xiangyang into the palace."
Qin Xiaoyao also smiled.
"It's what I should do."
She looked at Princess Xiangyang and saw that the girl was smiling happily. She wondered when she should bring up the matter of the Liu family's marriage proposal to Empress Jia.
Empress Jia also looked at Princess Xiangyang.
When she saw that her daughter seemed to have lost some weight compared to her earlier self, she could not help giving a sigh.
"I deserved everything that happened to me.
"It's just that this girl…" As she said this, her eyes were filled with heartache.
After hesitating for a moment, Empress Jia looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
"Does Marquis Xiaoyao truly care for this girl?" she asked.
