669 Doting Grandchildren, Great Acting Skills

On one side, Yu Shaoqing was lecturing Nangong Li. On the other side, Yu Wan carried her mother, who had “fainted from shock”, into Consort Yun’s meditation room.

Little Sly Jiang was lying on two extra beds. Yu Wan and Consort Yun were sitting on a stool less than three feet away from the bed. In front of the two of them was an ancient small square wooden table.

From time to time, Little Sly Jiang would lift an eyelid and glance at it before closing it again.

Yu Wan lit a dim yellow oil lamp. As her mother was asleep, she did not turn the wick too bright. Under the dim yellow light, she began to size up Consort Yun.

It was rare for girls to stare at their elders so openly. They would be treated as rude. Yu Wan did not care about these superficial greetings, and Consort Yun did not mind. Consort Yun straightened her back and openly let Yu Wan size her up.

Consort Yun was old after all. In terms of looks, she was not as exquisite as when she was young, but she was still considered good-looking. Even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead seemed to have a trace of beauty.

It was said that beauty was in the bones, not the skin. This was true.

Yu Wan felt that Consort Yun was really beautiful, even more beautiful than many girls. She had the charm of time and the tenacity of a baptism. Yu Wan had never thought that a woman with wrinkles could be so stunning.

When Yu Wan sized up Consort Yun, Consort Yun naturally sized her up too.

Yu Wan’s facial features had grown compared to when she was in Lotus Flower Village. The baby fat on her cheeks had decreased a lot, but it was not without it. She had a palm-sized oval face, tender cheeks, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. She had inherited her mother’s exquisiteness and her father’s heroic spirit. She really had a good face.

Consort Yun was very satisfied with her little granddaughter’s appearance. Initially, when she saw Nangong Yan and Nangong Li, she felt that the heavens were unfair. How could a slut like the Empress have such a pleasing descendant? Now that she saw her daughter and little granddaughter, Consort Yun began to pity the Empress.

After all, compared to them, Nangong Yan and Nangong Li were really too ugly.

“I heard I have a very, very beautiful grandson-in-law?”

The first on the Beauty Rankings was once Nangong Li, but now it was Yan Jiuchao. Consort Yun had never left the palace but she had heard of Yan Jiuchao’s name.

Yu Wan nodded, her eyes sparkling. “His name is Yan Jiuchao. He’s better-looking than me!”

Consort Yun: Slurp ~

She wanted to see her grandson-in-law!

Yu Wan smiled and said, “He’s on Sishui Street. I didn’t have time to inform him about what happened tonight. I’ll bring him to see you when we get back.”

In the past, she did not know that Consort Yun was so pitiful. She thought that she despised her mother like the Emperor. Now that she saw her, she realized that Consort Yun was different from the Emperor.

“By the way, Grandmother, do you still recognize this bead?” Yu Wan took out a beautiful eastern bead from her purse. “Mom gave it to me the night before my wedding. She said that you gave it to her before her wedding.”

Of course, Consort Yun recognized this bead. Before Eunuch Li went to the Ghost Clan to send her off, she had asked Eunuch Li to bring it to the Eldest Princess.

She only had the title of Consort Yun, but she did not have much savings. Her monthly salary had been used to ask about the Eldest Princess. At that time, the only thing she could take out was the East Pearl on the palace dress.

She pulled out the east pearl and asked Eunuch Li to hand it over to the Eldest Princess personally.

Consort Yun actually did not know if the servant handed it over to her because on the way back, the servant was seriously ill and died before he could return to the palace.

“I thought it wasn’t sent out.” Consort Yun heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Mom has always been carrying this bead with her. Mom likes this bead very much. Because of this bead, she also fell in love with other beads.” Yu Wan seemed to understand why every pair of embroidered shoes of her mother was embedded with a bead.

She liked beads. Because the bead was the first gift her mother had given her.

Little Sly Jiang, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, pursed her lips.

Little flatterer!

Rumble~

Consort Yun’s stomach growled. After spending most of the night, her stamina had been exhausted. The wild rabbits that Consort Yun had eaten were gone.

Yu Wan’s eyes lit up. “Are you hungry? I’ll go make you something to eat!”

Yu Shaoqing, who had returned after torturing Nangong Li, felt his scalp go numb when he heard his daughter’s words. He was about to lift his foot out.

Yu Wan smiled and called out to him, “Dad! You’re back? I was just about to cook. Come in and chat with Grandmother for a while. We’ll eat together later!”

Yu Shaoqing hurriedly said, “No, no, no. You should accompany your grandmother. I’ll do it!”

Yu Wan said, “How can that do? You haven’t even eaten dinner. You must be starving. Let me cook!”

“No, no, no, I’ll do it!”

“I’ll do it!”

“Let Ah Wan go,” Consort Yun said. The little girl wanted to show her respect, so how could she not give her face? Also, she did have some things to ask her son-in-law alone.

Yu Shaoqing took a deep breath. “Alright, since Mom said so, then let Ah Wan do it!”

Don’t blame me when you cry later!

There was a small kitchen in this courtyard. There were not many ingredients, but two bowls of Yangchun noodles were enough. Yu Wan swiftly cooked two large bowls of Yangchun noodles and went to Consort Yun’s meditation room.

Consort Yun learned a lot about the Eldest Princess’s past from Yu Shaoqing. For example, how she met him back then and married into a poor and remote place like Lotus Flower Village. No one would believe that a poor country boy had actually kidnapped the Princess of Nanzhao.

At first, he did not know that she was the Princess, nor did she know that he was Helian Beiyu. The two people who had abandoned their status seemed to be destined to meet just like that. Other than fate, she didn’t know what to say.

Consort Yun had sighed at the injustice of fate, but now she began to sigh at the wonders of fate. To the Eldest Princess, the poor boy she randomly caught was actually Helian Beiyu of Nanzhao.

To Helian Beiyu, the young girl he met on the streets was actually the Princess that the Helian family had risked their lives to protect.

“I still remember your father.”

That was the one with the most intense objections. Everyone scolded her for being shameless, climbing into the bed of the Emperor, and giving birth to a jinx. In the future, Nanzhao would definitely be destroyed in the hands of them. Only Bull Egg said, “How can an innocent woman overturn the court?”

“Grandmother, Dad! The Yangchun noodles are ready!” Yu Wan walked in with two bowls of steaming noodles.

Yu Shaoqing’s eyelids twitched.

Consort Yun was indeed hungry. Coupled with the fact that the noodles looked good and the green onions and sesame oil were fragrant enough, she was tempted and could not wait to take a bite.

Then, she paused.

Yu Wan widened her sparkling eyes and looked at her without blinking. She said with some anticipation and nervousness, “I wasn’t very good at cooking in the past, but they all said that I’ve improved a lot recently.”

It was time to test her acting skills. Consort Yun had not been able to fully perform her acting skills for most of her life. At this moment, she was finally able to perform them vividly.

“Delicious,” Consort Yun said with enjoyment and gratitude.

Yu Shaoqing was dumbfounded. Not only did she have an expression of enjoyment, but she was also moved to tears. His mother-in-law was indeed better!

“Dad, what do you think?” Yu Wan looked at Yu Shaoqing.

“Of course it’s delicious. You’ve indeed improved a lot,” Yu Shaoqing said with wide eyes.

Yu Wan was extremely happy. There was nothing that made her more gratified than praise for her culinary skills. “Then you guys eat. Don’t just look at me.”

The two of them finished the Yangchun noodles without changing their expressions.

“And soup,” Yu Wan said.

The-the soup?!

The two of them took a deep breath and finished the bowl!

“I’ll go wash the dishes!” Yu Wan was so excited that she carried the empty bowls to the kitchen to wash it.

Hearing the sound of running water from the kitchen, Consort Yun and Yu Shaoqing rushed to the window and pushed it open. They lay on the windowsill, stuck out their tongues and rolled their eyes!

When Yu Wan returned to the room after washing the dishes, the two of them had already sat back on the stool, looking serious.

Consort Yun was still elegant and otherworldly. Yu Shaoqing was not like her. It was as if he had eaten a large bowl of yellow lotus, and his face was scrunched up in bitterness.

“Why didn’t you say earlier that her cooking tasted so bad?” Consort Yun didn’t move her lips and only squeezed out a sentence softly from between her teeth.

Yu Shaoqing also said without moving his lips, “I already said that I would do it, but you didn’t let me.”

Consort Yun closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes and looked at Yu Wan, her eyes were filled with enjoyment and joy after eating and drinking her fill.

So Grandmother liked my noodles so much! This was the third time someone really liked her culinary skills after the Great Zhou Emperor and Yan Jiuchao.

Yu Wan felt that her life had been sublimated! She leaned over with a smile and said to Consort Yun, “Since you like it so much, I’ll make it for you tomorrow morning!”

Consort Yun’s smile froze.

Damn it! Her acting skills were exhausted and were not enough!
