In the past few days, Xiaowen has received many invitations and monetary gifts from the ministers in the Imperial Court. All under the guise of congratulating Xiaowen for his success and seeking a chance to gather together.
Xiaowen was distressed. He looked at the piles of money and invitations he had received but couldn't refuse, and sighed to his sister-in-law, "I don't know what to do. So many people want to meet me and gave such generous gifts. I can't even refuse!"
Liuliu looked at the invitations. The event times were too conflicting, and the monetary gifts ranged from 2000 to 5000 taels each. It wouldn't be appropriate to return them. Xiaowen was stuck in a political predicament. The officials had timed this precisely to see how Xiaowen would respond.
