It seemed like she was the one who had been tickled first.
With a burst of laughter, she rolled around, and the pearl hairpin fell onto the couch.
Fourth Master was about to reach out and take it away so it wouldn't hurt the mother and child.
Then, he saw Fifth Prince, with his little arms and hands, picked up the hairpin.
Fourth Master's heart leapt, fearful he might get hurt.
But Fifth Prince handed the hairpin to Ah Yuan, saying, "Take it!"
Fourth Master was surprised and gestured for Ah Yuan to come and take it.
Indeed, without any hesitation, Fifth Prince asked Ah Yuan to take it. Then, he turned away from Father and continued to scratch Mother's chin.
Since he couldn't reach, he climbed over Mother's body.
Ye Zao let out an "aiyo" from being squashed; the child really was a solid little lump.
Fourth Master, amused, sat down to watch the mother and son play.
After an indeterminate amount of time, having worked up a sweat, Fifth Prince finally stopped.
