The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 562: Pauper

They arrived at a warm pavilion surrounded by glass windows, and the servants finally stopped the sedan chair.

Yun Jiao couldn’t help but sigh in admiration—these nobles really know how to enjoy themselves.

The expansive warm pavilion was adorned with bright glass windows. Upon entering, she noticed several large charcoal braziers warming the entire room.

Cai Ping helped her remove the cloak, and Yun Jiao saw that quite a few people were already inside.

There were both men and women.

The Great Chu Dynasty has an open culture, so gatherings with men and women together are quite normal.

Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao walked side by side into the room, drawing the gaze of everyone present.

The Princess sat at the highest seat, beckoning Jiang Youzhi over with a smile. "Youzhi, come to grandmother’s side."

"Doctor Gu, you should come too."

Though the voice was not loud, it echoed through the room, heard by everyone.

Jiang Youzhi seemed to stand in a spotlight, attracting all eyes.

The freshly acclaimed Young Master of Capital City had quickly become the talk among the city’s elite households.

No one dared discuss his origins, as the Emperor himself had decreed—that would challenge the Emperor’s decision.

Over the last few days, various feasts were held, with the Young Master as the central topic. Numerous fleeting comments were shared, mostly praising the Young Master’s noble appearance and demeanor, which starkly contrasted the idea of him being raised outside.

Seeing him today, it is indeed so.

Especially among the young women, there was a noticeable blush after a few glances at him.

Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao removed their cloaks and stepped forward to greet the Princess. The Princess gestured them closer, seating them on either side of her.

She affectionately touched Jiang Youzhi’s back, asking softly, "Whose homes have you visited for dinners with your father these days?"

Jiang Youzhi answered quietly, and the grandmother and grandson chatted for a while. The Princess then turned to Yun Jiao, smiling, "I’ve taken several doses of Doctor Gu’s medicine. After the first dose, I awoke just once that night, and the second dose had me sleeping soundly till morning."

"It has been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such restful night sleep."

She patted Yun Jiao’s hand, "I didn’t expect someone as young as Doctor Gu to possess such profound medical skills, even better than those Imperial Physicians."

Yun Jiao modestly replied, "I wouldn’t dare compare to Imperial Physicians; perhaps the prescription simply matches the Princess’s condition."

As they spoke, the gazes of the room frequently drifted towards them.

A young woman in a pomegranate red jacket and skirt remarked, "Remarkably, this newly found Princely Heir surpasses all the young masters in Capital City."

The young women nearby nodded subtly, some smiled softly.

They also shared this thought but hesitated to express it.

Yan Pei, always bold, spoke her mind.

Seeing the Princess speaking warmly with Yun Jiao, she squinted her eyes and questioned, "And who is that girl, coming here with the Princely Heir?"

The young women shook their heads, "Never seen her."

At this moment, Yang Ying, the niece brought by Madam Yang, stood timidly to one side and said, "That lady should be Lady Wu’s cousin."

Yan Pei chuckled, "Cousin?"

"Probably coming from an unknown family—if there was any standing, she’d be introduced as someone’s daughter, granddaughter, or even niece."

Carrying the title of Lady Wu’s cousin implies her own family has little to show for.

Yan Pei inspected Yang Ying, noticing her brand new clothes, though not made of any luxury fabric. She also observed the few pearl-embedded golden hairpins on her head, realizing the designs were outdated.

It seemed clear her family had fallen from grace. Yan Pei asked disdainfully, "And who are you?"
