Ji Yuntang could see that compared to his biological sister Luo Qianxue and his biological mother Concubine Li, Princess Luo Qingge and Queen Mother Luo Qingge were the ones who really cared about Luo Junhe.

However, Luo Junhe's condition was there. He had taken ice baths for so long and slept on an ice stone bed for three years, so the damage to his body was really severe.

Even if the Queen and Luo Qingge wanted to help him, they didn't know where to start. They could only send someone to deliver some supplements every month.

Ji Yuntang learned this news by accident from his servants when he was checking the accounts.

However, after those supplements entered Prince Ye's Mansion, they were all embezzled by Nanny Xu and Liu Linlang. Luo Junhe didn't even get to enjoy any of them, and he didn't even know that the Queen had sent someone to deliver supplements to him.

Ji Yuntang's eyes grew colder. She would have to settle this account with Aunt Xu sooner or later when she returned!

She would also make Madam Xu return all the silver and supplements she had coveted.

While Ji Yuntang and Luo Qingge were whispering, Ji Qingqing and Luo Qianxue also changed their clothes, treated their wounds and came back.

Both of them had suffered at the hands of Ji Yuntang, and now that they came out together, they seemed to have found a confidant, and kept talking in whispers with their heads down.

Ji Yuntang couldn't hear clearly and was too lazy to pay attention. He pulled Luo Qingge back to his seat.

The game of passing the flower continues.

Concubine Li sat in the upper position, her eyes were dim and no one knew what she was thinking.

When she held the teacup, her armored fingers curled up slightly. The eunuch beating the drum in the middle was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

The fourth round of flowers fell in front of Ji Yuntang again.

Ji Yuntang could afford to have fun. She stood up casually and smiled.

"It's a nice day today. How about I write another poem for you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yunheng was the first to applaud her, "Well done, Princess Ye, hurry up!"

He turned around and immediately asked his servant to bring paper and pen, preparing to copy down Ji Yuntang's second poem and take it back to share with his classmates and friends.

Ji Yuntang smiled gently and said leisurely -

"Spring water fills the four lakes, summer clouds cover the peaks. Autumn moon shines brightly, winter ridges show lonely pines."

——Poems from Tao Yuanming's "Four Seasons"

Without a doubt, this was another good poem. Jiang Yunheng was so surprised that he stood up immediately and took the paper in his hand to appreciate it carefully.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! In just twenty words, she describes the different scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Princess Ye's talent really convinces me."

Ji Yuntang: "..."

She coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

She wanted to say that this was not her own talent, but the result of the labors of her predecessors.

It's just that she also likes these poems.

"Mr. Jiang, you are too kind. I am just showing off my skills. I cannot compare to your talent. I heard that the Royal Academy is the top institution of learning in Dongchen Country. Mr. Jiang was able to get in with his own strength. He is already knowledgeable and talented. He will definitely be the top scorer in the imperial examination and achieve great things in the future."

Ji Yuntang had heard that Ji Zihang took two full years to get into the Royal Academy, while Jiang Yunheng got in on the first try.

Ji Zihang's biggest dream is to pass the imperial examination next spring and become the top scorer and achieve success.

This is also what the entire family of Yongning Marquis expects of him.

It just so happens that next year, Jiang Yunheng and Ji Zihang will both take the imperial examination together. They are classmates as well as competitors.

Facing a person like Jiang Yunheng who loves books so much and is willing to copy down any poems, Ji Yuntang vaguely feels that the expectations of the Yongning Marquisate might be dashed.

Jiang Yunheng blushed when Ji Yuntang praised him, but he did not become complacent because of her words.

He always understood one thing: there are always people better than you.

His level was acceptable in the Royal Academy, but it seemed insignificant outside the Royal Academy.

When he met Ji Yuntang today, this feeling was particularly obvious, and it also aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.

Jiang Yunheng clasped his hands together, smiled at Ji Yuntang, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Princess Ye, for your kind words. I will work harder and strive to live up to everyone's expectations."

He decided that after he returned home today, he would spend all his time reading except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

Ji Yuntang smiled and said nothing more.

Those who work hard will eventually be rewarded. She firmly believes that Jiang Yunheng will be a good official who will benefit the people in the future.

As soon as Ji Yuntang sat down, Luo Qingge pulled her hand and chattered like a sparrow.

"Third sister-in-law, who do you think this round of peony flowers will fall in front of?"

Ji Yuntang shook his head, poked her forehead with his hand, and said lovingly: "How would I know this? I don't have the ability to predict the future."

"Third sister-in-law, but I always feel that this flower will fall in front of you later?"

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Qingge finished speaking, the drumbeats stopped.

They looked down and saw the bright red peony flowers falling in front of Ji Yuntang again with incredible precision.

Ji Yuntang glanced at Luo Qingge, who touched her nose awkwardly and immediately raised her hand above her head to assure him:

"Third sister-in-law, believe me, I didn't let this flower fall in front of you. I don't know why it likes you so much. It won't fall in front of anyone else. It seems to have recognized you."

Seeing her like this, Ji Yuntang chuckled, "I know, I didn't say it was you."

Of course she couldn't be so foolish as to think that Luo Qingge was controlling it. The only problem lay with the little eunuch beating the drum in the middle.

However, apart from the two times when Ji Yuntang took the initiative to step forward, the flower has only fallen in front of her twice now.

Two times doesn't mean anything at all, it could just be a coincidence.

Some people present thought that Ji Yuntang had bad luck, while others thought that she had good luck as she had bribed the eunuch who was beating the drum in the middle.

Most of the young ladies and gentlemen who came today were here to choose their ideal partners. They naturally hoped that the flowers would fall in front of them, so that they would have a chance to show their talents and be valued by the emperor and the queen.

But now, after only five rounds of passing the flower, Ji Yuntang had already demonstrated four rounds by himself, which instantly caused dissatisfaction among others.

"What's wrong with Princess Ye? Is today's palace banquet held just for her?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen and the Tenth Princess only got one chance each, but she got four chances. How can the rest of us show our talents?"

"Not to mention that she's already married, and the rest of us are still single ladies. Is it interesting for her to show off more?"

The person who spoke was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, named Qiu Min.

Ji Yuntang knew her. When she was first brought back to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, she saw Qiu Min coming to the mansion to look for Ji Qingqing.
