Zhu Liling was delighted to see her elder brother Ye Yujin. He greeted both the King and the Queen. "Your Majesty, these are some of the precious gifts for you and my sister," Ye Yujin humbly said as he gestured to his servant to come forward. Eunuch Gao Bing stepped up and took the heavy gifts from him.
Qiu Zedong asked the tea server if the tea was ready.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qiu Zedong asked her to serve the tea to Ye Yujin first. Ye Yujin thanked the King and lifted the porcelain tea cup. The tea server then poured the tea for the King and the Queen.
"Ye Yujin, I am so proud of you," Qiu Zedong said as he put the cup on the table before him. "You have served me more than forty years and you never once gave me the chance to complain. I hope your son will serve the future king with the spirit," he stated.
