Chapter 425 425 That soft-footed shrimp of the prince?

"Xiang Yang's second brother, my eldest son." Empress Jia said, glancing at Princess Xiang Yang who was eating next to her.

"Cough——" Princess Xiangyang almost choked.

Then, he looked at his mother and master in surprise.

"Brother Prince?" he asked his mother.

At this time, Qin Xiaoyao also raised his head and looked at Empress Jia with a frown.

Empress Jia smiled and nodded.

"There are only two side concubines in the prince's residence, and the position of the principal concubine is still vacant." As he said this, he looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a loving look on his face.

"I and your Majesty have selected many official ladies for the Crown Prince. They have gone back and forth, but none of them is to their liking."

"It's true that I love you, and you are quite popular with me."

Shen Xiang wanted to separate from her and the Jia family, but her brother was ambitious.

She could not kill her own family for the sake of her son.

There is no way to sacrifice one's own son for the sake of his mother's family.

After much deliberation, this was the only way to protect his son. At the same time, he gave up the thought of his brother.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw that Jia Hou was serious, he quickly saluted to Jia Hou.

"Don't dare! Your Majesty, you have betrayed me! Weichen is a rough man, and he has already been married. He is really unfit to match His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Empress Jia smiled.

"My dear, you are humbled."

"Aiqing's martial arts skills are unparalleled and he has made great military exploits for the Jin Dynasty. His achievements alone are enough to match anyone."

"As for being married, it doesn't mean anything."

After thinking for a while, Empress Jia added: "If -"

"If Aiqing's husband is no longer here, then he should be happy that Aiqing has such a good match."

"If the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty is still here -" Empress Jia paused.

Qin Xiaoyao also looked up at Empress Jia.

"I can reward him with ten thousand taels of gold and give him an official position, which can be considered as compensation."

Ten thousand taels of gold plus an official position is already a huge reward for a commoner.

Empress Jia felt that her suggestion was very good.

After Qin Xiaoyao heard this, he felt annoyed in his heart.

She was her husband-in-law's priceless treasure. To Empress Jia, she was worth only ten thousand taels of gold, plus a small official position.

After arriving in Kyoto, her husband-in-law gave her more than ten thousand taels of gold in banknotes.

"No -" Qin Xiaoyao said immediately.

Seeing Empress Jia looking over, Qin Xiaoyao quickly lowered his head and saluted.

"Xiaoyao is vulgar and really unworthy of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince would not be interested in a woman like me."

Of course she didn't feel that she was vulgar, but that the prince was not worthy of her.

Of course, the prince would probably not dare to marry someone like her.

She didn't need to think about all this, she knew it was Empress Jia's own idea.

After hearing this, Empress Jia's face immediately darkened.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little solid.

Princess Xiangyang on the side saw this and quickly took Empress Jia's hand.

"Oh, Queen Mother. The prince's brother marrying the prince's concubine is a big deal. How could it be decided so hastily?"

"And -" Princess Xiangyang looked at Qin Xiaoyao with some sadness, and then looked at her mother.

"Master is my elder, and the prince brother is my equal. If you ask master to marry the prince brother, isn't this a violation of seniority?"

The childish words made Empress Jia lose her temper instantly.

After looking at Qin Xiaoyao, Empress Jia then looked at her daughter with a smile.

"What messed up the seniority?"

"If Xiaoyao Hou really marries your brother, the crown prince, then your master-disciple status will be revoked."

Princess Xiangyang was shocked.

Unexpectedly, she found steps for her mother, but she would not come down.

It seemed that her mother was really determined to let her master marry her brother, the prince.

Why……

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the master and the prince brother were really not a good match...

Qin Xiaoyao raised his head and glanced at Empress Jia.

After hesitating for a moment, he stood up.

Immediately, he kneeled down on one knee towards Queen Jia.

He didn't say a word, but his attitude was firm.

Empress Jia was instantly angry.

Her face turned gloomy, and Princess Xiangyang who was watching on the side was afraid to persuade her any more.

After a while, Empress Jia also stood up.

"Humph!" he said, turned around and left.

"Queen Mother——" Princess Xiangyang hurriedly chased the person.

Before leaving, he did not forget to look at his master a few times, using his eyes to signal her not to go against her mother.

It's a pity that Qin Xiaoyao's attitude is very firm.

Faced with Princess Xiangyang's reminder, she was completely indifferent.

He still kept kneeling on one knee and didn't move.

Princess Xiangyang had no choice but to persuade her mother and queen first.

Queen Jia angrily left the outer room of the palace, entered her inner room, and sat down by the bed.

Princess Xiangyang quickly followed.

He sat down next to Queen Jia and comforted his mother.

"Oh, Queen Mother, please stop being angry."

"Too much anger will hurt your health. Father will feel distressed when he sees you." There was a playful look on his face.

When Empress Jia heard this, she made a "poof" sound and was amused.

"You girl, you actually made fun of your mother." Then she gave Princess Xiangyang an angry look.

"Hey." Princess Xiangyang shamelessly put her head on Jia Hou's shoulder.

"All the people of Jin Dynasty know how much love the emperor has for his mother."

"We girls from the Jin Dynasty all envy our mother."

Hearing this, Empress Jia felt sweet in her heart.

He couldn't help but smile on his face.

Princess Xiangyang looked at her mother with a smile for a while, and after making sure that her mother was no longer angry, she tentatively spoke again.

"But how many men are there in the world who are like my father?"

Empress Jia smiled and nodded, agreeing with her daughter's words.

"It just so happens that my master's husband is actually that kind of man." Princess Xiangyang finally said.

Empress Jia's face immediately fell.

"Having said all that, I'm still asking for mercy for her." After saying that, he looked outside.

"Hehe." Princess Xiangyang smiled cheekily at Empress Jia and reached out to hold Empress Jia's hand.

"Queen mother, she is my master."

"Now you are making things so difficult for me. How can I ignore it?"

Empress Jia glared at Princess Xiangyang.
