Everyone panicked upon hearing this. Leave? That won't do.

The Third Princess suddenly called out, "Auntie, wait a minute! I have a prize here. Caiyue, go and get the Nine-Turned Exquisite Bracelet. Are you interested in this prize, Auntie?"

Yun Qingluo concealed the coldness in her eyes, sat back down, and smiled, "Sounds good."

Yun Qingluo felt a surge of emotion when she saw the plate brought over by the servant.

After the death of Mo Beichen's mother, many things happened in the palace, causing many of her belongings to be scattered.

After growing up, Mo Beichen searched everywhere and found most of the items over the years. Today's item is one of them, and it was also his mother's favorite item when she was alive.

This was also one of the reasons she came to attend the plum blossom appreciation banquet.

Her second goal was to leverage her current influence to become famous throughout the capital.

Let everyone know that Regent's Consort Yun Qingluo is not an incompetent fool.

As for the third objective, it was, of course, to slap someone in the face.

Yun Yiyi prides herself on being the most talented woman, so she's going to destroy everything she cares about.

The reputation of her talented woman, which she had worked so hard to build, was easily taken away in less than a day. Thinking of her frustration, Yun Qingluo felt a sense of relief.

She lacked talent, but her predecessors had plenty.

But talent is precisely what's best used to slap someone in the face.

"Since we're here to appreciate plum blossoms, let's play a plum blossom game. The poem must contain the character for 'plum blossom'. You can recite or write one, but it can't be repeated. Whoever has the most and best poems wins the prize, how about that?"

Seeing that Yun Qingluo was clearly interested in the prize, the Third Princess loudly proposed it.

"This humble woman has no objection," the noble ladies replied in unison.

After speaking, they both looked at Yun Qingluo, who raised an eyebrow and said, "This princess has no objection."

"One incense stick's time, begin!" announced the pre-selected referee.

Everyone turned to look at Yun Qingluo, who was puzzled.

"Why don't we have the Regent's wife start?" A noblewoman voiced what everyone was thinking.

Yun Qinglu sneered. So she couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself?

"Yes, the Princess is the Third Princess's elder, so it's only right that the elder speaks first."

"Sister, what should we do? Why don't I help you..." Yun Yiyi said with some difficulty.

"Yiyi, you're too kind, but we've agreed not to help each other today."

When Yun Qingluo saw them chattering and portraying her as an illiterate fool, she couldn't help but sneer.

Everyone was stunned when they saw that dazzling smile, and fell silent for a moment.

Yun Qingluo finished her tea, stood up, and clapped her hands. "Alright, then let's see what this good-for-nothing's talent is all about today."

"Several plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold."

"When the plums are yellow, the days are sunny; after crossing the stream, we go for a mountain hike."

"......"

Yun Qinglu recited over a hundred sentences in one breath, and the female official copying them down couldn't stop, leaving all the noble ladies dumbfounded.

"Well, that's all for now. You guys continue. I'll start again when someone has more poems than me," Yun Qingluo said with a light laugh, taking a sip of her hot tea.

Everyone: She has more?

The third princess's voice trembled slightly, "Your...Your Majesty, did you write this poem yourself?"

"Hmm, I made this when I was bored in the countryside. Would you like to hear it again?" Yun Qingluo asked leisurely, propping her head up.

This means we can continue...

Even if all of them were to write poems, they might not be able to write more or better ones than her.

Yun Qingluo watched the changes in everyone's expressions with great interest and encouraged them, "Everyone, please continue, don't be modest."

Everyone gave Yun Qingluo a resentful look, their faces pale with defeat.

They lost; they were defeated before the battle even began.

The Third Princess was seething with hatred. What a terrible thing to do! She had witnessed bloodshed and ghosts at the beginning of the banquet.

But for now, she still had to take charge. "Auntie, please don't joke. I'm afraid none of those present could come up with a better poem. Today, this prize belongs to you, Auntie."

Yun Qingluo said modestly, "No, that would make me seem like I won unfairly. You should also write some poems."

The crowd: We don't know if your victory was unfair, but if we write poems again, we'll be inviting humiliation.

The Third Princess's smile had already faded. "It's getting late. Ninth Imperial Uncle should be waiting for Imperial Aunt to return to the residence for dinner. I won't keep Imperial Aunt any longer."

After saying that, he hurriedly said to the guard beside him, "Make sure to send the royal aunt back to the palace safely. Caiyue, give the prize money to the royal aunt on the carriage."

Everyone hurriedly rose and knelt down: "Respectfully seeing off the Regent's Princess."

Yun Qingluo looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground and tsk tsk, they're quite united right now.

Although she really wanted to come up with the idea that it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away.

But today's goal has been achieved; some things can wait for another day.

Yun Qingluo glanced at the plum tree swaying slightly in the distance. It was a pity that some of her performances hadn't come in handy.

Yun Qingluo stood up, broke off a plum blossom branch, and walked out while saying something to annoy everyone:

"Indeed, Your Highness must be getting impatient. I'll take my leave now. Remember to invite me to any more interesting banquets like this in the future."

Yun Yiyi could no longer hide the viciousness in her eyes, staring at Yun Qingluo's back like a venomous snake.

That bitch, she wants her dead.

The Regent's Palace.

As soon as Yun Qingluo got off the carriage, she saw Mo Beichen waiting at the gate of the mansion, and her heart warmed.

She jumped off the carriage, ran to Mo Beichen, squatted down, and took his hand in surprise, saying:

"Ah Chen, were you waiting for me?"

Mo Beichen nodded, looking down at his wife who was not wearing any makeup, his eyes filled with a faint doting affection. "Did you have fun?"

Yun Qingluo understood the meaning behind his words, and smiled with her eyes crinkling, "Hehe, Achen, you already know? Isn't your princess very amazing?"
