Chapter 450: Chapter 245 Joyful Oblivion_1

Ming Wa sputtered all over Prince Consort Pan, startling everyone present. Ming Wa’s wet nurse had already knelt on the ground, trembling all over with fear.

Qian Yixiu, holding back her laughter, continuously bowed together with Qian Yeejin, apologizing to Prince Consort Pan, "Mr. Pan, my brother didn’t do it on purpose. I apologize, I apologize, I apologize..."

Old Duke Liang pointed at Prince Consort Pan and laughed heartily, saying while laughing, "Mr. Pan, your face really draws attention. Even..." Unable to continue, his laughter grew even more intense, his back bending over, as if he was about to pass out from laughing too hard.

Jingjing’s giggling grew louder, and she waved her limbs incessantly, as if she too was laughing at him.

Prince Consort Pan was so angry that his face seemed to twist water out of it. He wiped his face with a silk handkerchief, which didn’t seem to help much, and then threw the handkerchief onto the ground. He then wiped his face with his sleeve, but being made of soft satin, it did not absorb water, leaving his face still wet.

Qian Yixiu handed him a larger piece of fine cotton cloth from Jingjing’s baby carriage, which Prince Consort Pan used to finally dry his face. Looking down at the cotton cloth in his hand, which was meant to be used for that, he threw the cloth away in a huff.

Being a clean freak, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over and gave a fierce glare at the laughing child in the carriage.

When Old Duke Liang saw that Prince Consort Pan was truly angry, he hastened to stop laughing, but could not contain himself, his shoulders shrugging up and down.

Prince Consort Pan snorted and turned to stride towards Linxiang Courtyard.

Old Duke Liang followed closely behind, trying to placate him as he walked, but the more he tried to soothe him, the angrier it sounded, "Mr. Pan, don’t be offended, they say boy’s urine extinguishes fire and cures all diseases, some people even specifically ask for it to drink. Really..." Babbling on.

Qian Yeejin also ran after them, continuously apologizing on behalf of his brother.

Once they were far away, Qian Yixiu burst into laughter, leaning forward and backward with mirth.

Ming Wa’s wet nurse was nearly in tears, saying, "Oh my, Xiu Jiejie, you can still laugh. Brother Ming has caused a big trouble. That person looks like a high official, could he have us executed?"

Having had a few interactions with Prince Consort Pan, Qian Yixiu thought him to be aloof and somewhat stubborn, but still a decent person, not one to seek revenge over a bit of urine. Yet guests should be treated with respect, and although she had prevented her mother from meeting him, she still didn’t want to offend him.

Thinking of this, she stopped laughing and said, "It’s nothing, he’ll get over his anger." Looking at Ming Wa, who kept waving his tiny fists and kicking his little legs, she leaned over to lift his legs and gently patted his little bottom, scolding, "Did you do that on purpose? So fast and accurate."

She lost interest in lingering and hurriedly led them back to Wangjiang Building. She pondered to herself, noting how Prince Consort Pan seemed to adore and care deeply for Jingjing—treating her like his own mother—why would he lose her? Moreover, when Jingjing arrived at this family, she was in such a sorry state... It was puzzling.

On the way, they encountered Qian Sangui rushing towards Linxiang Courtyard with his cane, having heard that Ming Wa had offended an important guest and was in a hurry to apologize.

Seeing Grandfather Sangui so frightened, Qian Yixiu wondered how to appease Prince Consort Pan. After all, these people did not know the relationship between Prince Consort Pan and Jingjing, and offending such a noble person would cause them much distress.

She could afford not to care about Prince Consort Pan’s feelings, but she couldn’t disregard Grandfather Sangui’s feelings.

She went straight up to the second floor of Wangjiang Building, put on a set of summer clothes personally designed and sewn by Jingjing—a red crossover-collar shirt with only a roll of cloud pattern at the sleeve, and a white long skirt with a ring of green plum calyx embroidered on the hem, both elegant and flowing. Knowing that Prince Consort Pan liked pearls, she wore a pearl hairpin in her coiffure.

She had Bai Zhu carry a small basket containing four golden honey peaches, and then went out the door.

Before leaving, she instructed Jingjing, "Tonight, my brother and I are going to compose poetry with the gentleman under the moonlight, so we might come back late. Rest first, mother, don’t wait for us."

Carrying Zi Zhu and Bai Zhu, she returned to Lianxiang Water Pavilion and took out the only two taels of gold from her house, a set of jade porcelain tea ware, and a small copper pot. The small copper pot was filled with spring water she had secretly fetched with Monkey Brother at Xishi Mountain; this spring was upstream from Pine Pool. Because more people had come behind Guiyuan, the water in Pine Pool seemed to have been tainted by the worldly influences, no longer as clear and refreshing as before.

Arriving at Linxiang Courtyard, Qian Sangui still stood there shivering, while Qian Yeejin was trying to convince him to go back, "Grandfather, please go back and rest. Grandpa Zheng and Mr. Yu said it’s nothing serious. They are persuading Prince Consort Pan."
