Chapter 345: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,467 words

Prince Qi:?

I'm still alive, hey!

But need to be faithful: Chinese line 【1】 "Prince Qi:?" Means "Prince Qi:?" maybe with a question mark. Should we translate as "Prince Qi:?" Keep punctuation. Use "Prince Qi" per glossary.

【2】 "I'm still alive, hey!" Means "I'm still alive, hey!" Could be "I'm still alive, hey!" Use exclamation.

"Prince Qi almost couldn't stay seated; Master He, thick-skinned, came over and forcibly coaxed the person." Means "Prince Qi almost couldn't stay seated; Master He, thick-skinned, came over and forcibly coaxed the person." Need to translate faithfully. "Prince Qi almost couldn't stay seated; Master He, thick-skinned, came over and forcibly coaxed the person." Keep as one line.

"He wearily thought: Son, don't screw over your dad!" Means "He wearily thought: Son, don't screw over your dad!" Could be "He wearily thought: Son, don't screw over your dad!" Use "Son, don't screw over your dad!" Keep exclamation.

"Your dad I'm just a low-ranking petty official, can't withstand a prince's pressure!! Back home I'll beat the son! Master He, while forcibly laughing and coax

The kids were roughhousing, and lunch was about to start.

Although the He family came to express gratitude, they were also esteemed guests.

So, the Wangfu also prepared a full spread of dishes.

With guests present, it wouldn't be proper to let all the kids sit at the table.

So, for today's meal, they simply separated the tables.

The adults sat at one table, the kids being looked after by servants at another table.

After He Dai struggled to escape from Feng Xuanrui and them, he insisted on feeding Sui Sui.

"Feeding my fiancée is reasonable; as a fiancé, looking after my fiancée is proper, proper, don't stop me!"

"That's my fiancée, stop it!"

"……" Means ellipsis. Keep as "……"? Probably translate as "..." but we should keep same? Usually translate as "..." but we need to keep meaning. We'll output "...".

He Dai has now taken on the role of fiancé himself, and is responsibly preparing to carry it out.

Feng Xuanrui:!!! Wait, when you return to the manor, I'll put you in a sack, I will let you be my fiancée.

Wife your head!

At the adults' table, host and guest got along, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At the kids' table, it was chaotic; He Dai was repeatedly subdued, but each time he got up again.

However, in the end he also didn't manage to feed Sui Sui.

Sui Sui happily ate together with Ren Shu Han and a few older sisters.

The young ladies were happy, chatting about private matters, occasionally carrying books.

Shen Hua Tang, being older and more knowledgeable, picked some appropriate words to say to the younger sisters.

Liu He Meng had seen miscellaneous things, so what she said was also related to the market.

However, she also knew that some things were not suitable to say to Sui Sui.

The child is still young; some things, better not let her hear.

With the sisters gossiping, Sui Sui had no attention to spare for He Dai over there.

As for the talk of marrying or not, Sui Sui indicated she didn't understand, didn't comprehend, and didn't care.

There are also older brothers.

Although the kids ate lunch in chaos, their getting along was still fairly harmonious.

Mainly it's still...

He Dai is truly tough! Feng Xuanrui thought, how come I didn't notice before?

Looks like, if there's anything later, we can find him.

Someone so tough, not calling him over to fight together and share the firepower, what a waste!

He Dai only felt a chill on the back of his head, unaware that he had been targeted.

After eating, everyone chatted a bit more, then Master He politely took his leave.

Prince Qi and his consort personally saw the person to the gate, watched them leave, then returned to the manor.

In just a short while, Sui Sui had already been lulled to sleep by Aunt Xiang.

The weather was too hot, the four young ladies couldn't comfortably sleep piled together.

So today, Sui Sui is sharing a bed with Liu He Meng.

Shen Hua Tang felt too hot, so she took Ren Shu Han's hand and went elsewhere.

When Princess Consort of Qi returned, hearing the kids were asleep, she felt much relieved. Prince Qi still remembered the little brat saying he wanted to marry Sui Sui; bringing it up now, his face still not looking good: "You little brat, you're not big, but your thoughts are quite beautiful; dare to marry a good girl? See if I don't break his dog legs."

Although Princess Consort of Qi also didn't want to face such a topic, hearing the prince say that, she couldn't help but smile and advise: "It doesn't have to be so fierce; what if our Sui Sui is willing?"

As soon as those words came out, Prince Qi's expression twisted.

After gritting his teeth, he whispered: "Then after marriage, let them live next door…… Right, whose house is next door?"

After asking, without waiting for the consort's reply, Prince Qi realized: "Prince Chu elder brother, that's easy; later I'll write a letter to have him make space."

Princess Consort of Qi: ……

Prince Chu just went to his fief, he's not dead! However, when the prince is in a high position, Princess Consort of Qi also couldn't press further.

As evening approached, Sui Sui had just seen off Mengmeng Jiejie and them, when she discovered the He mansion had sent another cart of gifts.

This is because they learned that among their lifesavers was Sui Sui, so they went back and specially picked some child-appropriate gifts.

In fact, He Dai also had the steward delivering the gifts say a line for him: namely, "Among them there is a box of toys, which is for my fiancée."

The steward, being very sensible, didn't say more, for fear of provoking anger.

The steward thought, given the prince's recent years of crazy obsession with seeking a wife, if he really dared say this today, he'd fear not being able to leave the Prince Qi manor! Even if he made it out, halfway he'd be put in a sack.

So, Fourth Young Master, sorry about that.

It's not that the steward doesn't want to do it, he really can't! After the steward's proper gift-giving and auspicious words, he then left.

Since it was a gift specially prepared for Sui Sui, Princess Consort of Qi naturally had Aunt Xiang organize it, then placed it in Sui Sui's courtyard.

The next day, a continuous light rain began.

The light rain fell for about a day and a half, then it cleared up again.

The summer sunlight is still fervent.

Therefore, as soon as the scorching sun appeared, the earth was baked by fiery heat, and before long it became dry as if that rain had never come.

Soon, the day of June 6 arrived.

That day, the weather was clear and bright, the sunshine lovely, with only a faint breeze in the air, carrying the warm, dry feeling of the sun.

Sui Sui got up early and began tidying.

Her hair hadn't grown back yet, so she definitely couldn't wear any hair ornaments or headdresses.

So she still wore a cute little hat.

The hat was ginger-yellow, made from fabric bestowed by the palace, and Xiang Gugu carefully sewed it.

It was decorated with various beautiful gems and tiny pearl-adorned tassels.

With the gems and tassels as embellishments, the little hat instantly became elegant.

Her outfit was a sky-blue embroidered-flower cross-collar ruqun, with an outer sheer overlay of the same color; at the waist hung a luxurious jade pendant, its long tassels swaying as she walked, interlacing colors with the skirt and exuding a splendid beauty.

Sui Sui's clothing and shoes today were all from JinXiuFang.

The little hat was personally made by Xiang Gugu, a one-of-a-kind piece.

All her accessories were either selected by the Princess Consort of Qi or bestowed by the palace.

After being raised in the Wangfu for two months, Sui Sui finally gained some flesh, her skin becoming ever fairer; dressed in this splendid and gorgeous attire, she seemed completely transformed.

On Sui Sui's person, there was no trace of her former frail and timid self.

The child was growing up, and getting better and better.

Looking at this appearance, the Princess Consort of Qi involuntarily welled up with tears.

Her child is becoming better and better.

This made the Princess Consort of Qi feel ever more relieved.

She raised her hand and gently touched Sui Sui's slightly fleshy little cheek, her voice choking as she said, 'Mother Consort's good child.'

Feng family brothers: 'He Clan brat, I'll strike you from behind!'

Second watch.
