Chapter 536 - 278: Who Could it Be (Happy Birthday Cake for srrsrg +)_1
The summons from Prince Ning’s Mansion explicitly requested the presence of Old Madam Qian.
Upon hearing this, Old woman Qian was both excited and afraid. With a crooked mouth, she said to Qian Sangui, "I’ve heard that behaving improperly in the presence of the royal family is also a crime. My mouth is crooked, and I drool, unable to speak clearly. Will Princess Consort punish me for impropriety?"
Qian Sangui laughed, "Of course not. Your condition is an illness, not something you’re doing on purpose. Besides, Princess Ning is generous and easygoing. She’s inviting you as a gesture of thanks for the care you provided to Prince Ning’s Heir back in the countryside, so why would she blame you?"
After hearing this, Old Madam finally felt at ease.
Two afternoons later, Qian Yixiu, dressed neatly, first went to the courtyard of Old man Qian and Old woman Qian, where Lady Wu had already arrived, dressed and ready. Old woman Qian had been well groomed, wearing a brown brocaded satin garment with interwoven lotus patterns, a horse-face skirt with purplish-red cloud patterns, a red-gold chrysanthemum-inlaid pearl hairpin, and a forehead band studded with jewels. She was also wearing a gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her wrist.
She was also made up, and she was uncomfortable with the makeup on her face.
Seeing Qian Yixiu, she spoke with a lopsided mouth, "Yixiu, dressing up an old face like Great-grandma’s, I look like an old demon. Oh my, I’m so embarrassed."
Qian Yixiu replied with a smile, "Great-grandma looks pretty like this; you seem several years younger. The makeup of other Old Madams is even thicker than yours."
Old man Qian also laughed heartily, "I think it looks good. The old woman looks just like the Madame of a distinguished family after getting dressed up."
