Knowing that Yu Shi won the emperor's favor for her replacement, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel lucky. Ling Rong wins the emperor's flop, but he trembles because of nervousness. The emperor refuses to force it, so he asks someone to carry Ling Rong back to the palace, and Yu agrees to come and serve him. Lingrong was ridiculed by others, and it was even more difficult to hold his head up. Yu Ying, who has gained power in the palace, is good at Kunqu opera, charming and seductive. Yu promised to be named Miaoyin's lady, and with the backing of Concubine Hua, she was arrogant and rude, contradicted Meizhuang, and even offended Chun Changzai, who lived with Zhen Huan, and Xin Changzai, an old man next to the emperor. six houses. The Empress Dowager was furious and took away Yu's promised title, but Concubine Hua was happy to stand by and watch.

The eunuch next to Zhen Huan, Xiao Yunzi, set up a swing in the corner of the imperial garden, and Zhen Huan often played with it. One day, Zhen Huan ran into the emperor who was wearing ordinary clothes. The emperor deliberately concealed his identity and claimed to be the king of Guojun. The next day, the emperor went to meet Zhen Huan under the apricot tree again, tested her temperament with a swing, and enjoyed the flowers and talked together; although Zhen Huan admired this talent, she finally left considering the disparity between the two. The emperor asked her to meet again in five days, and Zhen Huan agreed.

The queen thought that without the emperor's words, the queen mother's punishment would not have much impact on the Yu family, so she ignored it. Yu promised to kneel outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for half the night, softening the emperor's heart, regaining favor, and deliberately making things difficult for Su Peisheng's eunuch Xiaoxiazi, attracting jealousy. On the day the emperor made an appointment with Zhen Huan, it was raining heavily. On the way to the imperial garden, the emperor was called by the queen mother to Shoukang Palace.
