章 664: Brilliant Ancestral Virtue

Immediately, a palace maid placed a brocade basket beside the Empress Dowager.

Yu Youyao bowed and replied obediently, "Yes!"

After showing her etiquette, she walked over with lowered eyes and sat down obediently beside the Empress Dowager.

Seeing that she was neither servile nor overbearing, the Empress Dowager's smile deepened. She turned to look at Old Madam Yu, who was still standing, and said gently, "Sit down too. Don't tire yourself out from standing."

Old Madam Yu lowered her head to thank her. The little palace maid helped her to a cushioned chair.

The Empress Dowager liked Yu Youyao and held her hand. "Good child, what books have you been reading at home?"

A gentle smile appeared on her face as she held her hand kindly, like a loving elder. Even her questions were usually asked by ordinary elders when they saw their juniors. She did not put on any airs.
