Chapter 569: Chapter 291 Curtain Falls_1

Old man Qian couldn’t sit still any longer, saying he would stroll the streets and, along the way, go to the teahouse to listen to storytelling. He would dine out at noon and told the household not to wait for him for lunch. He knew that the vegetarian feast for the Little Monk at noon would surely be meatless, and now he couldn’t stand a meal without meat.

After everyone finished the vegetarian banquet in the main courtyard, Pan Yue led a few people and two monkeys to the Xiyue Pavilion. She let the Wet Nurse coax the two little ones to rest, and Pan Yue just watched Qian Yixiu and the Little Monk talk.

During this time, Bai Zhu quietly came to tell Qian Yixiu that Liang Gao was still waiting there, and Cai Xiaoji had returned the letter to him.

The Little Monk expressed his desire to continue studying with the two Foreigners. Qian Yixiu said, "Both of them are at the estate near the Capital City. I will immediately send someone to bring Sean over, but Jack must stay there to build the Glass Factory."

The Little Monk also said that he had already spoken with his master, and they agreed that he would mainly reside at the Qian Mansion to study with the Foreigners.

Qian Yixiu was even more delighted upon hearing this and ordered someone to clean up the Carefree Pavilion for him to reside. She also invited him to go to Prince Ning Mansion with her, where he would see Zhu Sujin that evening. Zhu Sujin had mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to see Hongji and wondered why he hadn’t come to the Capital City yet. After hearing this, Princess Ning said she would welcome Little Master Hongji to visit the Prince Residence, and Sister Wang was very good at making a few vegetarian dishes.

The Little Monk also wanted to see Zhu Sujin, but he still shook his head and said, "Poor Monk’s master said that I can only live in your home and my eldest martial brother’s home, and I am not allowed to go to other people’s houses. We should also try to keep it a secret that the Poor Monk is staying at your house. Otherwise, how about we visit Poor Monk’s eldest martial brother today? The vegetarian food at his place is not bad either."

Qian Yixiu thought it made sense, as she had long guessed that he came from the Royal Family. Being sent to the monastery to become a Monk at birth surely meant he couldn’t survive in society – someone like him should indeed avoid those people.

As for visiting Old Liang’s house, better not.

So she said, "I’ll send someone quietly to tell brother about it, let him come home to see you. As for your martial brother’s house, you can go there yourself later if you wish."

The Little Monk nodded in agreement.

Today, Prince Ning wasn’t attending court as he had just returned from inspecting the snow disaster in the outlands the day before yesterday.

At this moment, he was talking with Princess Ning. His face looked a bit uneasy, as he held the Princess’s hand and said, "The Imperial Physician just diagnosed and said that Consort Yang is pregnant."

A smile spread across the Princess Ning’s face as she laughed, "Congratulations to you, Prince. After more than a decade, our Prince Residence will finally have another addition to the family."

Prince Ning patted her hand and said, "Xiao Rong, rest assured, no matter how many sons I have, Jinjin will always be my most dearly loved and valued son, and no one can surpass him."

Princess Ning replied with a smile, "I know how good you are to me. Since my body now cannot serve you and I can no longer provide you with direct descendants, I too hope that you can have more sons. This way, others will not be able to criticize you for not having enough sons, and our Jinjin will not become the target of all arrows."

Prince Ning sighed, "Xiao Rong has been aggrieved, having hardly enjoyed a few days of bliss since she married me... Just endure for a few more years, and I will provide the best life for you and for Jinjin."

Princess Ning smiled, "I believe in you, Prince." She pondered for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Prince, what do you think of the child Yixiu?"

Prince Ning was taken aback, then, looking into the hopeful eyes of the Princess, he smiled and said, "According to Wan Father and son, the child is intelligent and competent; she could earn money to support the family at six or seven years old. According to Yu Xiu’s evaluation, the child is far-sighted and courageous; apart from being somewhat impatient, her ambition does not lose to that of a man. Based on Jinjin’s opinion, the child is pure as ice and charmingly delicate, the best girl under heaven. And the Princess’s evaluation is even more remarkable, saying that the child is gentle, polite, virtuous, and understands people’s intentions well. With so many saying she is good, I definitely think she is good as well."

Princess Ning giggled at the response and said, "Even the Prince can be verbose, huh? You could have just said that she’s good; there was no need to mimic our words... So, Prince, do you think she would be a good wife for Jinjin?"

The Prince answered, "For the past few years, I have always wanted that child to become Jinjin’s wife. Not only is the child good, but she and Jinjin also share a deep affection, having grown up together. However, later I heard that the Qian family already has a verbal marriage arrangement with the Liang family. If it were any other family, perhaps we could do something about it, but the Liang family..."

Princess Ning said, "I heard that General Liang’s mother seems to not be fond of Yixiu."

Prince Ning replied, "The Liang family is run by Old General Liang and Old Queen Grandma; they are so eager to settle Yixiu with Liang Jinzhao, surely also seeing Yixiu’s virtues. They won’t give up easily..." Seeing the disappointment in the Princess’s eyes, he continued, "It all depends on the Qian family now. If they want their daughter to have a kind and virtuous mother-in-law, maybe Jinjin still has a chance."
