If the women in his household saw this gift, who knows how excited they would be.
When a man gives a woman a set of jewelry, the meaning is clear: if Su Ruojin is willing to accept it, things will be much easier later.
Su Ruojin slightly raised her eyelids, glanced at the headdress and jewelry, and bowed to Yun Gan. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I appreciate it, but as the saying goes, one should not accept a gift without merit. I really cannot accept such a valuable gift. Your Highness, please leave here. Farewell."
After saying that, she turned and left. Zhao Jingning bowed to Yun Gan to take her leave and followed her.
Yun Gan watched Su Ruojin's retreating figure, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "Interesting, Princess Chang Le, you are truly unique."
At Weiyang Palace, Yun Gan and Su Ruojin left. Empress Sun looked at Yun Hao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and felt annoyed. This good-for-nothing, if it weren't for the fact that he was still somewhat useful to her son, she wouldn't have kept him around until now.
"You can kneel here and give the princess and the Zhao family an explanation." With that, Empress Sun turned and left.
"Your subject obeys." Yun Hao lowered his head, and no one could see his expression.
When Yun Gan returned to Weiyang Palace, he was furious. "Mother, what happened? How did it turn out that Miss Zhao and Yun Hao were in bed together?"
Empress Sun scolded, "You can't even control your temper over such a small matter? This Su Ruojin is more difficult to deal with than we thought. We need to think of another way."
Today, she didn't want Yun Gan to force the issue; she wanted him to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
Rather than drugging Su Ruojin's body, it's better to let her slowly win over her heart.
Women are all like that; they always tend to fall for those who come to their rescue in times of crisis.
But something went wrong, and things turned out this way.
At this moment, Granny Kong entered with the libationer.
"Your Majesty, the rankings for the Poetry Competition by the Grand Master of Ceremonies have been announced."
"Greetings, Your Majesty. These are the poems that won the top three prizes in this poetry competition." The Grand Master hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
"Oh, let me take a look." Empress Sun didn't notice the chief priest's expression and casually took a poem from the tray in his hand, opened it and glanced at it.
Sun Yuying, the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Sun and also the niece of Empress Sun, is participating in the poetry competition for the first time this year after turning the age of 14.
“Yu Ying’s poem is quite good; it is well worth the careful teaching of her grandfather since she was a child.”
The chief priest hurriedly said, "Miss Sun's poems are indeed outstanding. In this poetry competition, the eldest prince and Miss Sun won first place."
Empress Sun smiled and nodded slightly, "Not bad."
She suddenly remembered to ask, "How was Princess Chang Le's work? Was it even half as good as Yu Ying's?"
Ordinary women, unless they have been taught by famous teachers from a young age like Yu Ying, how could they write any good poems?
The Imperial Scholar hesitated for a moment, then raised the tray in his hand. "Place the Princess's work on the left. Please, Your Highness, appreciate it."
Empress Sun was curious about Wei Jijiu's reaction. How bad was Su Ruojin's writing that the Jijiu was too embarrassed to even speak up?
Curious, she picked up one of the rolls of paper and opened it to take a look.
This glance caused Empress Sun's pupils to dilate slightly, and she couldn't help but look at it carefully several more times.
"Chancellor Wei, was this really made by Princess Chang Le?"
"Your Majesty, all of these poems were written by the Princess. We, your humble servants, carefully observed her composing the poems, and they were all written on the spot. There was no possibility of cheating."
Knowing the relationship between Miss Sun and the Empress, the Imperial Censor dared not directly say that Su Ruojin was much better than Sun Yuying.
He and the two instructors were greatly shocked when they saw Princess Chang Le's exquisite calligraphy and her poems.
If these words and this poem were to circulate, they would likely shock the literary world of Yunqi.
The style of this poem reminded the Chief Minister of the Guard of a certain person.
