The Empress, Concubine Jing and other concubines went to Ganlu Temple to offer incense. Zhen Huan hid behind a pillar and did not want to see each other. Zhen Huan was too excited when she saw Mei Zhuang and was discovered by Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi deliberately stepped on Zhen Huan's hand, forcing her to expose herself because of the pain;

After returning to the palace, Mei Zhuang asked the Queen Mother to protect Zhen Huan, and invited him to live in Zhen Huan's Sui Yu Xuan to guard the palace, willing to be neglected. Concubine Jing devoted herself to raising Ouyue, but she was reprimanded for unintentionally interceding for Zhen Huan in front of the emperor; the queen mother saw the emperor's move, and worried about Zhen Huan's safety, she secretly sent Fang Ruo to visit Zhen Huan regularly every month. Zhen Huan meets Concubine Shu, the biological mother of King Guo, by chance, and the two hit it off very well. Zhen Huan wants to match Huanbi with the prince's attendant, Ah Jin. Huanbi has already fallen in love with King Guo, and she flatly rejects Zhen Huan's offer.

Mei Zhuang is neglected in the palace, only Wen Shichu takes good care of him; Mei Zhuang loves Wen Shichu more and more, but finds that this person only cares about Zhen Huan.
