Chapter 477: Chapter 254 Jinjin_3

Although the eldest lady seemed dissatisfied with the Qian family’s young miss, the old master and the master both nodded in agreement, and the eldest young master appeared to like her as well. The eldest lady, unable to fight alone, was likely unable to prevent it.

In fact, Shopkeeper Cui, too, hoped that Qian Yixiu could marry the eldest young master, as he had long noticed that this young miss was no ordinary person. He had said many good things about Qian Yixiu in front of the eldest lady, but she seemed not to take them to heart.

The Little Monk also came, and he was going to stay for one day.

The outer and main courtyards were busy receiving guests, with Qian Sangui and Lady Wu doing the hosting. Meanwhile, Cheng Yue and Qian Yixiu were leading several younger children to eat a vegetarian meal with the Little Monk in the back courtyard.

In the morning, while playing, Qian Manting brought Qian Yiduo, De Wa, Jinjin, Sheng Wa, and Li Ahcao to play in the inner courtyard. As it was almost time for lunch and because there was no meat available in the inner courtyard, Duo Duo took the other four children to the main courtyard to eat, but Qian Manting stayed behind.

The young Miss Qian Manting had grown into a slim and beautiful girl. With delicate features and careful dressing, even with a touch of rouge, she appeared a year or two older than she was. Lady Wu knew her niece loved beauty; among the gifts sent to the fourth room, the majority were fabrics and jewelry for her. One could say that everything she wore was a gift from the third room.

Her gaze followed Cheng Yue’s every move and she often mimicked Cheng Yue’s behavior and expressions. Qian Yixiu secretly rejoiced, this little girl had become a devoted fan of her aunt.

When Eunuch Li returned to the Capital City at the end of April,

he went straight into the private courtyard of the princess with a package in hand. Princess Ning counted the days waiting for him, and seeing him finally return, even her weary face brightened up with joy. She waved her hand, dismissing all the servants except for Sister Sun.

Eunuch Li first knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your servant greets the princess."

Princess Ning eagerly said, "Get up, quickly tell me about my Jinjin."

Eunuch Li got up, smiling as he reported, "Your Highness, your servant has fulfilled his duty. Not only did I see the young master, I also spoke with him. He’s already grown this tall," he gestured with his hand, "his eyes and eyebrows are the spitting image of the prince, his skin like the princess, even his walking posture is exactly like the prince, so vigorous. That day, he wore a silver-white robe, hair tied in a topknot, secured with a blue silk band... Ah, such an impressive and handsome young lad. Your servant believes the young master is more handsome than any of those imperial grandsons. No wonder Chief Guard Wan dare not let him come to the Capital City, for once he does, others would surely recognize him as the prince and princess’s child..."

Princess Ning longed to hear just such words. The letters from Wan Father and son described the boy with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, or growing two inches taller, or gaining two pounds in weight, which couldn’t compare to Eunuch Li’s vivid description. Through Eunuch Li’s words, a handsome young man appeared before the eyes of the princess, as if he were right there smiling at her.

Eunuch Li then opened the package, first presenting a piece of calligraphy to Princess Ning, saying, "The young master is not only good-looking but also talented. This calligraphy was written by the young master himself, as I personally witnessed. Please look, Princess, how well he writes." Wiping away tears with his sleeve, he took out a piece of clothing and continued, "The young master is also skilled in martial arts; when sparring with Guard Wan, moving so fast I could hardly see his figure... This is the robe the young master changed out of after the match, with sweat stains. Your servant did not wash it, and brought it directly to the princess."

Princess Ning’s tears, which had been brimming in her eyes, finally fell when she received her son’s clothing. As she smelled the sweat on it, she could no longer hold back and began to cry out loud, weeping as if her heart would break, while calling out, "Jinjin, Jinjin..."

Eunuch Li and Sister Sun cried along with the princess. After a while, Sister Sun was the first to stop her tears and consoled the princess, saying, "Please don’t be sad, Princess. The fact that the young master has grown so well and is so promising is a good thing. I’ve heard that the prince has already driven the Yuan dog out of the Central Plains, and he will be returning to court soon. Once the prince returns, the young master will come back, and then you and your son will be together every day."

The princess sobbed, "The prince said he wants to pursue the victory and eliminate Dayuan’s remaining forces, which means he won’t return until next year at the earliest. With my deteriorating health, I do not know if I can last until that day."

Sister Sun cried, "What is the princess talking about? Now, the Imperial Physician comes every day to administer acupuncture and check your pulse, and the Emperor and Empress Dowager continuously bestow upon you the finest medicines and tonics. If only the princess could be a little more open-minded and cheerful, you would surely live a long and healthy life."

Eunuch Li added, "This time the Qian family allowed your servant to bring back the mother and son jars of Double-headed Golden Crow Snake Wine. Didn’t the princess say that after drinking that wine, your health improved? Please drink it every day."
