Chapter 804: Extra Story Four: Qian Yijing (2)
In mid-July, inside a boudoir, Qian Yijing leaned against a beauty couch, fretting. On the round table at the center of the room, the plate of golden honey peaches had withered again. If not eaten today, these few peaches would spoil.
The peach tree had lost its fruit half a month ago, and besides the plate before her, all the peaches she had picked had gone bad. Her mother and sister had kept some, but she felt those peaches were too green, and even if they ripened and turned golden, they wouldn’t taste good. The peaches she had kept were slightly golden and red, but they spoiled in less than ten days.
She pouted her lips, continuously tearing at the handkerchief in her hands. Brother Ji was quite picky, and if the taste was not good, he would not like it...
Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, as well as the voice of the young maid, Qing Xing, "Second Miss, Second Miss..."
Wan He scolded, "How can there be no manners at all? Why the shouting?"
Qing Xing immediately said, "I heard from the sisters at the Xiyue Pavilion that the envoy of Prince Yonghe sent a letter, and they will arrive in the Capital City in two days."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yijing got up quickly, slipped on her embroidered shoes, and hurriedly walked towards the Xiyue Pavilion.
Pan Yue was looking at a letter; she had read it several times but still couldn’t get enough of it. Seeing her daughter arrive, she waved and smiled, "Jingjing, come quickly; this is a letter from Ji, they will be in the Capital City in two days."
Qian Yijing took the letter, the characters on it were fresh and elegant, graceful and long, indeed Zhu Suji’s handwriting.
Pan Yue’s eyes reddened with excitement, "It’s been almost two and a half years, Ji is finally returning home safely. During these days, I don’t know what troubles he has faced." She quickly ordered someone to inform the Liang Mansion, Wan Mansion, and Qian Mandua’s house that the Prince was coming back.
