Li Chengfeng secretly sighed at Song Yuwei's sharp mind: "I am worried about you. These words have spread like wildfire, and I am afraid you can't bear it."
"Your Majesty, you worry too much."
Song Yuwei's tone was filled with confidence. "I had anticipated this day. These rumors are nothing but the incompetent barking of some clowns."
"Women interfering in government has been frowned upon by the world since ancient times. Since I have chosen this path, I have long been prepared to endure everything."
When saying this, Song Yuwei was extremely firm. She had already prepared herself mentally when she accepted the imperial edict to take the position.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. I know what I'm doing."
Song Yuwei walked up to Li Chengfeng, offered him a cup of tea, and chuckled, "Your Majesty, just sit back and wait and see what happens."

Song Yuwei's eyes lit up as she praised, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan! Those pedantic scholars love to pretend to be cultured. If we let them showcase their talents at a poetry gathering, they'll quickly forget all those boring gossips."
“That’s not all.”
Li Chengfeng added, "I can also take this opportunity to select some officials with real talent and knowledge to enrich the court."
"I believe that Your Majesty will be able to find a good person to govern the country."
