The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 353: Birthday Tribute

Yun Jiao couldn’t help but glance at the young master.

She saw that under the black gauze shirt, the young and strong body had no trace of excess flesh. Although from Yun Jiao’s angle, she couldn’t see his chest and abdominal muscles, his slender waist and the way his small clothes were tied indeed looked very alluring.

Jiang Youzhi quickly noticed Yun Jiao looking at the man, and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret. If he’d known, he should have worn the gauze shirt too!

He stepped forward, blocking Yun Jiao’s view just right from the side.

In the midst of this interruption, the servants and maids from the Prince Mansion came to greet the guests.

The servants led the male guests to the front hall, while the maids guided the female guests to the second courtyard at the back.

Yun Jiao handed her birthday gift to a maid and entered the second courtyard.

The doors of the main hall and the two connected flower halls in the courtyard were wide open, with many people already seated inside.

Yun Jiao looked around and didn’t recognize anyone.

No, there was one person she sort of recognized.

Yun Jiao saw Qin Yan, who was also looking at her.

She didn’t know how she had offended this girl, but at this moment, Qin Yan’s gaze was unfriendly.

Yun Jiao couldn’t be bothered with her and found a place to sit down.

After sitting for a while, she heard a palace maid announce, "Lady Yun is arriving."

Everyone around stood up, and Yun Jiao quickly got to her feet, wondering whether she should kneel, when she heard a gentle voice, "No need for formalities today. I despise these tedious rituals." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Before her knees could bend, Yun Jiao stood upright.

Lady Yun entered and sat at the head, sweeping her gaze around the room with a soft smile and nodding.

Seated just below Lady Yun was a young woman with captivating beauty. Yun Jiao estimated that she must be Princess Kang. The last time they met, she received a set of newly made clothes from her, for which she hadn’t yet thanked her.

After Lady Yun sat down, under the guidance of the nanny, everyone present began to approach her one by one to offer birthday greetings.

Yun Jiao watched from afar as first the female relatives from Lady Yun’s family, followed by those from the Princess’s family, came forward to offer their respects.

Throughout, Lady Yun did not ask anyone to kneel, only bow in blessing.

After the blessing bow, it was the next person’s turn.

Like a conveyor belt, everyone in the hall took turns offering birthday wishes.

Soon, a nanny approached Yun Jiao and led her to stand at the front, waiting.

Once the person in front finished with the birthday greetings, the nanny quickly nudged Yun Jiao to step forward and fill the spot.

The precision of the arrangement was admirable, Yun Jiao thought.

She approached Lady Yun with a smile, performed her salute, and said some auspicious words. Lady Yun beckoned her closer.

This drew the attention of many others to her.

It was well-known that when so many approached to offer birthday wishes, Lady Yun merely nodded and smiled.

Only guests of particularly high status or favored juniors received a few words of exchange from Lady Yun.

Previously, only a niece of Lady Yun was called forward for a few words.

Yun Jiao was the second to have this honor.

At this moment, Princess Kang, who was seated just below Lady Yun, watched Yun Jiao with a twinkle in her eyes and a warm smile.

Yun Jiao stepped forward to pay her respects, saying a few more auspicious words, and the maid holding the gift followed closely behind.

The maid beside Lady Yun accepted the birthday gift, and Lady Yun playfully scolded, "I invited you to come, not to make you spend. Just having you here makes me happy; what’s with the gifts?"

Yun Jiao appreciated Lady Yun’s warmth. She knew her words weren’t just pleasantries. Given the difference in their statuses, such statements were unnecessary.

She then sincerely replied, "It’s nothing valuable, just two bottles of perfume I made myself, for Your Grace to enjoy."
