33. Covered (1)

Outside the gate of Yu Laojun's Courtyard, the freshly dressed, young and slim maids wearing double buns were huddled together into a pile while curiously looking inside.

At this moment, inside Yu Laojun's courtyard, there is also a flamboyant gathering of clothes and splendor.

“Your Highness the Prince of Yingchuan came to visit, and I was unprepared. Please forgive me if there is any lack of courtesy.”

Yu Laojun rarely changed her clothes to meet a guest. Her hair is a mixed of gray and white, her skin is dull and mottled, her face is full of creases, and deep lines are carved out of the corners of her eyes and mouth.

It can be seen that this person was used to being always in charge of everything when she was younger, and she's not the type of person who gives up her control over the family so easily just because she is old. She's probably the type who would even meddle with her grandchildren's affairs.

Yu Laojun is the great-grandmother of this generation of young people.

Even the head of the Yu family has to call her grandmother, which shows her high level of seniority. Her age is already invincible in this era. In the clan society where old people are always respected, no one would dare to contradict her.

Even Prince Yingchuan, who came from the capital and has the rank of the Third Prince, had to visit Yu Laojun to pay his respects.

After Murong Xu heard Yu Laojun's polite words, of course he would refuse it and say that he wouldn't dare.

“Yu Laojun has been in this family for four generations, and has always been respected by her children and grandchildren. You are a person of great blessing and virtue. This Prince has always respected virtuous people, and being able to see the blessed star of the Yu family is already a huge honor. Besides, the Yu family has been known for being organized and well-mannered for a long time. Its heritage is evident everywhere, so why would there be a lack of courtesy? Laojun, you're being too modest.”

Yu Laojun was delighted to hear these words, the creases on her face were squeezed deeper, and half of her eyes were covered when she smiled.

However, her smile did not make her appear more approachable, on the contrary. It only revealed a kind of self-satisfaction for being well-bred and being in a high position for a long time.

Apparently, even though her expression showed her politeness, but she couldn't hide the sense of pride that she had for her family. She does not feel that her family was lacking in anything, be it manners, or courtesy when it comes to receiving the guests.

Yu Laojun was very satisfied with Prince Yingchuan's uptightness. She never thought that even though the current emperor was notoriously unreliable, his third son was actually quite polite and humble.

The dignified prince was as humble as a gentleman in front of her, and Yu Laojun was relieved that she spoke much more casually afterwards.

“I'm getting old, and my legs and feet are becoming inconvenient. I have not been to the Night city for many years.I wonder if the Queen's body is well?”

Empress Jiang is Murong Xu's first mother, and this Empress Jiang's behavior….. is not too in line with the identity of the mother of a country.

Murong Xu sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still said eagerly like a filial son,

“Mother is in good health. Yu Laojun still worries about my mother's health even though she's in Yanzhou. The enthusiasm is really moving this prince.”

Yu Laojun couldn't accept the flattery, it is impossible for everyone here not to have heard of those absurd things happening in the palace, but at that moment, it's still normal for everyone to still show their concern for the Queen's body.

Murong Xu and Yu Laojun sat at the head seat opposite each other and exchanged a couple of pleasantries, while Yu Qingya held a pot beside her and brewed tea gracefully.

She was kneeling on the bamboo cushion, gently adding water, tea, and froth skimming. She added water three times, and skimmed the tea froth off the stove three times before slowly picking up the teapot and pouring tea.

Her hand gestures while pouring the tea was very graceful, her pinky finger was slightly cocked, looking as pleasing to the eye as a flying bird. Murong Xu was accompanying Yu Laojun to talk about carriage wheels, which was boring in the first place, and he caught a glimpse of Yu Qingya's movements out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help turning his head to look at it a few times.

Yu Laojun after noticing Murong Xu's action, smiled and said,

“This is this old woman's great-granddaughter, ranked fourth in the family, our Fourth Miss. I am getting old, and I can't sleep well when the seasons change. It was thanks to her company that I am able to talk and laugh every day. Fourth Miss, why don't you come and introduce yourself to the prince.”

Yu Qingya seemed to be completely immersed in the world of temaking, but when she heard Yu Laojun's words, she immediately put down the teapot, gracefully walked over to Murong Xu and gave a salute, “This young lady pays her respects to Prince Yingchuan.”

When Yu Qingya paid her respects, her waist twisted inadvertently, immediately showing her willow-like figure. She is simply showing a gesture of greeting, obviously it wasn't so simple, but it just so happens to show the advantages of her figure, it was too perfect as if it's been calculated.

Murong Xu was originally not interested in this kind of beauty with a quiet temperament, but when Yu Qingya came to say hello, he couldn't help but take a couple more glances.

He secretly wondered, If she was really the woman he'd seen on the night before, could it be that it was because it was too dark last time that he couldn't see her properly?

Why does it feel like they are completely different people now?

After seeing Prince Yingchuan's eyes fixed on Yu Qingya, Yu Laojun felt a sense of pride, and there was even a trace of contempt in addition to her pride.

Sure enough, men all over the world are like this, even the prince is not much better than ordinary men, he can't even fix his eyes properly after seeing their family's fourth miss.

After Yu Qingya paid her respects, she brought the tea over again, and placed it in front of Yu Laojun and Murong Xu, she then retreated aside and knelt quietly behind Yu Laojun.

Every move forward, every step back, is all elegant and beautiful.

After Yu Qingya sat down, Murong Xu couldn't hide his surprise, and couldn't help but glance in her direction.

Yu Qingya was sitting behind Yu Laojun, just facing Murong Xu, it was much more convenient for him to see her now, and also, it will also make it very obvious.

Yu Laojun smiled pointedly, while Yu Qingya kept her head slightly lowered as if she couldn't feel the gaze of the other person at all.
