Staying in the capital

The Advanced Scholars who had eagerly anticipated witnessing Shao Yunduan's downfall were left disappointed.

How fortunate this man was! He had never expected that both the Crown Prince and the Emperor would shield him from disaster so effortlessly!

With the Emperor and Crown Prince intervening, no one would dare to bring up the matter again. To do so would be challenging the authority of the Emperor and the Crown Prince themselves.

Observing Officer Tian and Shao Yunduan drinking together, Emperor Xuan chuckled and nodded approvingly, effectively reinvigorating the atmosphere. The scene became lively once more.

They continued to revel in the enjoyment of poetry, the rewards bestowed by Emperor Xuan, and the camaraderie among the Advanced Scholars. It was a delightful experience that lasted for half a day before everyone departed from the imperial garden.
