Zhen Huan waited in the rain for the arrival of the man who claimed to be the "King of Guojun", but she was disappointed and returned. Yu promised to see Zhen Huan when passing by, and was quite surprised. After seeing the queen mother, the emperor hurried to the imperial garden to attend the appointment, but the building was empty. The emperor caught a cold and fell ill for several days. After recovering from his illness, the emperor missed Zhen Huan and went to the Imperial Garden alone without telling Concubine Hua. Yu Shi, who was spying on the emperor's whereabouts and followed him to the imperial garden, met Zhen Huan and took the opportunity to bully her and utter wild words.

The emperor defended Zhen Huan, denounced the Yu family, and ordered Su Peisheng to move the Yu family to a distant place. Zhen Huan was taken aback at this moment, and stood there for a long time without moving. The person in front of him is not the king of Guojun, but the emperor who rules the world! The emperor loves Zhen Huan, making an exception and enfeoffing Zhen Huan as "Guan nobleman" before going to bed. The news that Zhen Huan got the emperor's attention spread all over the six palaces, and the empress had been on guard for a long time, but Concubine Hua sneered at it. Mei Zhuang and Ling Rong came to express their congratulations, and everyone greeted them one after another. Zhen Huan fell in love with the emperor, and decided to accept the challenge, and agreed with Wen Shichu to hide the fact of pretending to be sick, and gradually "recovered". During this period, Zhen Huan and the emperor played chess, talked about books, mixed fragrance and cooked tea according to their preferences, and the emperor fell in love with Zhen Huan more and more.
