Chapter 366 - 213 Selfish Desires_1
On the afternoon of April 21st, Prince Consort Pan unexpectedly brought little boy Jiege to see us off. Not only did he give Qian Yixiu a folding fan with a landscape he had painted, but he also expressed that he might visit her hometown in the future to see the beautiful scenery depicted in the embroidery.
Coming to the Capital City and being able to connect with imperial relatives, the national idol, and the number one scholar was a major gain that Qian Yixiu had never dreamed of.
Besides, was there anything cold about pretty boy Pan? Was there anything odd or snobby? He was clearly a mature and warm-hearted man. Rumors can’t be trusted after all.
Qian Yixiu, holding the folding fan worth a thousand taels, had no immunity against the charming Prince Pan. She smiled with her eyes curved, hastily nodding in agreement, and even suggested that the best time to visit would be from mid-May to early July. That was when not only the wasteland in front of her house was the most colorful but also when the golden lotuses bloomed most brilliantly, and it was also when Xijing Mountain was at its most vividly depicted.
The young girl’s bright smile and cheerful tone made Pan Zi’an feel a mix of sour and sweet in his heart. If he hadn’t taken out his resentment towards the Royal Family on his daughter and had been closer to her, would her smile be as warm?
Youthful vigor!
Now that he was old, he saw many things more openly, but what’s done cannot be undone, and what’s lost is lost forever, beyond repair.
Little Jiege was also reluctant to part, mainly because he would miss Monkey Brother and Benben. Thinking that they would leave tomorrow, his eyes were red. After hearing his grandfather’s words, he too clamored to visit Sister Qian’s home to see the scenery.
Pan Zi’an suddenly felt sad and said, "Grandpa dares not take you far away anymore."
