Zhou Wuchang lightly coughed, taking a small sip of his tea, saying, "Yao Qin, you're already advanced in years, the living conditions here are simple, and I'm busy with my cultivation. It's not convenient."
Minister Yao quickly said, "I can just live in the outer court, I assure Your Majesty that I won't disturb you."
Zhou Wuchang put down his teacup: "That won't do, the outer court is resident to guards and palace attendants. It would be very inappropriate for Minister Yao to live there."
Minister Yao wiped his old eyes, saying, "I even lived in horse stables when I was young. What does living with the guards matter now?"
Minister Liu by his side quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we're fine with living in the front court."
