Chapter 592 - 300 Letter Delivery Boy_1
After hearing the question from the Eldest Princess, Qian Yixiu blushed and said, "It probably thinks its portion is too small."
Everyone burst into laughter again. Grandma Huang laughed, "This monkey really is a clever one." She then had a maidservant fetch a butterfly (a type of serving utensil), take some of each dish from the kang table, and place it on a table for it.
Monkey Brother then grumpily began to eat with a spoon, thinking it would have liked to climb onto the bed and dine with its master. But the master had given clear instructions, and it had no choice but to eat alone.
The Eldest Princess, joined by four young ladies, had her meal, with Grandma Huang attending to her side. After taking a few bites, the Eldest Princess invited Grandma Huang to join them at the table. Grandma Huang excused herself and sat down.
Huang Jinyu’s grandmother had passed away due to illness a few years ago, leaving only the Eldest Princess, Grandma Huang, and Huang Lingling as the three female masters of the household.
After the meal, the Eldest Princess was tired and let the four young ladies go out and play in the garden.
Once the young ladies had donned their cloaks and left, the Eldest Princess asked Grandma Huang, "What do you think of Miss Qian?"
Grandma Huang laughed, "She is beautiful and talented, both traits she shares remarkably with Prince Consort Pan."
The Eldest Princess waved her hand and said, "Beauty and talent are secondary. The key is her steadiness, a mind as vast as a thousand valleys, and her upright intentions. You see, in less than half a day, she has made the old lady and those three young girls happy. Jinyu is impetuous and lacks brothers to support him; he needs someone steady and capable of keeping him in line. I heard that on the day of the Plum Blossom Feast, Miss Qian silenced Jinyu without a word, and it seems Jinyu doesn’t reject her."
