Zhao Xi and Song Yuanbao arrived shortly.
Faced with the ministers' friendly advances, Zhao Xi responded coldly and sat down in his spot.
When Song Yuanbao entered the hall, his eyes were darting around. Spotting his parents, he excitedly ran over. Seeing Wen Wan looking uncomfortable, he frowned, "Father, Mother is about to give birth, why did you bring her to the palace?"
Afraid that Song Wei might feel awkward, Wen Wan quickly explained, "I wanted to come myself. Since being granted the title, I haven't attended a palace banquet. I wanted to experience it."
Song Yuanbao's eyebrows nearly twisted into knots, "Mother...you are being reckless! At a palace banquet with so many people coming and going, with such a big belly, what if someone accidentally bumps into you and something goes wrong?"
Song Wei stopped him before he could continue, and called him over to a quieter corner outside Qingliang Palace to ask, "Did His Highness draw the mechanical beast you suggested?"
