At this moment, a voice came from his side.

"Looks like the rumors outside are true. Second Prince has a child."

"Look at Infanta Yuehai's face, it's almost completely black."

Liu Wei retracted her gaze, and knew that she could no longer watch. Although she did not know why, Liu Wei subconsciously felt that if she looked again, it would become worse.

After a while, the men all arrived. The crown prince and empress paid their respects and sat down beside the empress.

The others, led by the eunuchs, took seats of different grades.

After sitting down, the empress asked the crown prince, "What about your fifth brother?"

The Crown Prince said, "He drank too much. Let him rest for a while."

The Queen's face did not look good, "You're letting him get drunk? "I wonder what day it is today?"

The Crown Prince looked at his mother, and then looked at the women, and said, "It doesn't matter if he comes or not, the Queen Mother has been chosen. Is there any difference if he comes or not?"

The empress frowned as she looked at her son, but the crown prince had already shifted his gaze elsewhere.

The empress didn't know if she was mistaken, but she kept feeling that the crown prince's words just now were filled with resentment.

The empress paused for a moment before asking, "How is Ya'er?"

The Crown Prince calmly replied, "His body has gotten better in the past few days, but his fetal position is a little unstable. The Imperial Physician said it's not appropriate to move too much."

"This is her first time being pregnant, you have to accompany her more."

The Crown Prince said casually, "Today is not the day to talk about family matters. Mother, it's better to start soon."

The Queen looked away, at the people below, in the end, her gaze landed on Liu Xiaoli, and frowned: "Why did he bring the child here?"

The Crown Prince didn't say anything. He just picked up a teacup and sipped on it.

The empress looked at her son with furrowed brows, sighed, and said, "Today's meeting is full of flowers. All the ladies here love flowers, so let's just let it happen."

The Queen then waved her hand towards Shu Zhen.

Shu Zhen plucked a osmanthus flower from below and handed it over to the Queen.

The empress brought the flower up to her nose and sniffed it before nodding. "It really is a fragrant osmanthus. Then, will anyone be willing to give a poem for this osmanthus flower? It's not in vain for the flower to bloom and fall."

As soon as the empress finished speaking, she began whispering to one another. Finally, a man in a blue robe with a jade-like face stood up and raised his voice. "This one is untalented, so I gave an ugly performance. I hope the empress can give me some pointers."

The empress raised her hand, indicating that he could begin.

The young master looked up at the surrounding osmanthus trees and smelled the fragrance in the air. His eyes were misty, as if he was immersed in a sea of flowers.

As the sound of his voice faded, the surrounding crowd instantly burst into applause.

The Empress handed the osmanthus branch over to Shu Zhen, who took it over and walked over to the young master, and presented the osmanthus branch to him.

The blue-robed young man took the osmanthus flower and placed it at the tip of his nose. He sniffed it and said, "Since it's a gift from the Empress, then I'll have to offer it up as a gift. This aunt will trouble you to present it to the Zhou family's second young miss."

Seated not too far away from Liu Wei, Second Young Miss of the Zhou Family laughed after hearing his words, it was clear that she recognized this Young Noble. Shu Zhen sent the flower over, and under the envious gazes of the crowd, the Second Young Miss of the Zhou Family placed the flower on the table, and a blush appeared on her face.

The blue-robed young master sat down as the pride in his eyes slowly overflowed.

It was worth it.

With this thought in mind, the blue-robed young man looked towards the Zhou family's second young miss, thinking that with this situation, it would be easier for his family to propose marriage to the Zhou family.

His family was a few levels lower than the Zhou family. If he wanted to marry more, he would have to plan a bit more.

Yu Wen Min's interest was piqued too. She whispered into Liu Wei's ear, "Sister Cong'er, I have a poem here too, do you want me to get up and read it?"

Although a man had read a poem before, the woman had not. Yu Wenjin felt shy and did not know whether she should get up to show off or not.

Actually, with so many women gathering today, even if it wasn't for the sake of marriage, none of them wanted to be compared with the others. They were all fighting over who would be the one to enter the empress's eyes the most.

Liu Wei didn't know why Yu Wen Min had asked her that. If she missed him, she would read it, if she didn't, she wouldn't recite it.

However, Yu Wen Min had a conflicted attitude. Just now, she had played with a song for so long, until Liu Wei said, "Read your poem to me."

Yu Wen Qian who was at the side heard this and pulled on Yu Wen Min's sleeve, reminding her not to speak.

How could he read his poems to outsiders? If she finished, Liu Wei would stand up and do it himself. With this limelight, wouldn't it be a waste of time to help others?

However, Yu Wen Min's poems were not that good, so she was not afraid of others stealing. Adding that she trusted Liu Wei, she grabbed onto her sleeves and recited the poem towards Liu Wei, ignoring her own aunt.

Yu Wen Qian's face turned black after she finished her sentence. She looked on guard, afraid that Liu Wei would think of something bad.

Liu Wei did not care about Yu Wen Qian's small-mindedness at all. She only recalled Yu Wen Min's poem and pondered in her heart about it.

Liu Wei didn't know how to compose poems, but Liu Wei had some understanding of Chinese classical literature, so although Liu Wei couldn't compose poems, she was a person who knew how to compose poems.

Greencloud Country was not the real ancient China. That is to say, without the Tang, Song, and Yuan Qing dynasties, there would be no famous historical figures, nor those masterpieces that were passed down in history.

To Liu Wei, Yu Wen Min Xin's words were even more crude than what the blue-robed young master had said. The little girl's meaning was too clear, and could not be considered a noble person, but to Yu Wen Min, the trust in her eyes was too great, so Liu Wei could not bear to criticize her too much.

Just as Liu Wei was at a loss, Liu Yao was also racking her brains to compose a poem, but since Liu Yao was unable to compose one, and just happened to hear Yu Wen Min's poem, her eyes lit up. She suddenly stood up and said to the Empress in front of him, "Empress, this little girl has a poem for you.
