No, this couldn't possibly have been written by Su Ruojin!
Not to mention that her exquisite calligraphy was already stunning, even if Jia Yingying studied for another ten years, she still couldn't write this poem.
Other young masters and ladies from prominent families also gathered around, and after seeing the poem written by Su Ruojin, they all fell silent.
Xing Yue scoffed, "I wonder who was it that mocked Princess Chang Le for not being able to compose poetry back then, and now they're asking if their face is still burning with embarrassment."
The chief priest sighed, "It's a pity that Princess Chang Le didn't participate in the competition, otherwise she would have been the winner of today's poetry contest. Great Chu truly lives up to its reputation."
After seeing Su Ruojin's poem, Yun Shao's eyes turned even more sinister.
Su Ruojin was unaware of what had happened in Fengyi Palace after she left. She followed Yun Gan to the outside of the princess's room.
The imperial physician was treating patients inside, so she didn't need to go in for the time being. She and Yun Gan waited outside.
At this moment, a handsome man rushed over anxiously, "Greetings, Your Highness, how is the princess?"
Yun Gan looked at the man with obvious disdain in his eyes, but still replied, "The imperial physician is treating him inside; you may wait outside, Your Highness."
Su Ruojin's pupils contracted slightly when she saw the man.
Prince Consort!
So he was the prince consort!
No wonder!
No wonder Qinniang searched all over Yuncheng but couldn't find any news about her husband.
He's already the prince consort; how could Qin Niang possibly find out that?
Ah, this world is certainly not lacking in heartless men.
Su Ruojin had never met Yan Gang; she had only seen his portrait through Qin Niang.
Yan Gang felt someone staring at him and followed their gaze to Su Ruojin.
He was certain he had never seen this woman before, so why was she looking at him with such anger?
Judging from Su Ruojin's attire, she doesn't look like a palace maid. And since she's standing next to the First Prince, could she be a noble lady who's on good terms with the First Prince?
Seeing Yan Gang's probing gaze as he looked at Su Ruojin, Yun Gan felt a little uncomfortable and said, "This is Princess Chang Le."
Upon hearing this, Yan Gang quickly averted his gaze and bowed to Su Ruojin, saying, "Greetings, Princess Chang Le."
Su Ruojin simply nodded slightly and made no further comment.
A moment later, the imperial physician came out, and Yan Gang hurriedly went to greet him: "Imperial Physician, how is the princess?"
"Your Highness, there's no need to worry. The princess only had a miscarriage. She'll be fine after acupuncture. However, it would be best for her to rest in bed for the time being."
Hearing this, Yan Gang breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Imperial Physician."
He then quickly went into the room, presumably to comfort the princess.
Seeing this, Su Ruojin knew that there was nothing more for her to do, so she bid farewell to Yun Gan.
"Your Highness, the princess is well, so I shall take my leave now."
Just as Yun Gan was about to say something, Granny Kong came over and said, "Princess, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence."

Su Ruojin followed Granny Kong into a room.
"Please wait a moment, Princess. Her Majesty will be here shortly." Granny Kong bowed and took her leave.
The incense burning in the room smelled very nice. Su Ruojin sighed. Why did the people of Yunqi Palace only know this one trick? Couldn't they come up with some other tricks?
They weren't annoyed, but she was.
Helplessly, she took out a pill and handed it to Zhao Jingning, "Eat it, just think of it as eating a candy."
She found the medicine bitter, but since it was coated with a layer of sugar, it was still bearable.
Zhao Jingning obediently took the pill and swallowed it, staring wide-eyed as she asked in a low voice, "Did they drug you again?"
Having gone through so much with her cousin during this time, Zhao Jingning feels that her heart has become stronger.
"Come on, let's find a comfortable place to lie down," Su Ruojin said. If she wasn't mistaken, the person coming in later should be Yun Gan.
The empress's intentions were all too obvious.
Zhao Jingning lay down on the chaise lounge and pulled a small blanket over herself.
