Love in Pavilion Episode 5 Recap
> Love in Pavilion Recap
Since Wangquan Shouzhuo’s disappearance, he took the Wangquan Sword with him. Therefore, the sword in Wangquan Hongye’s possession was not the real Wangquan Sword. During the battle with Nangong Ye, the fake Wangquan Sword developed a crack. Steward Fei had no choice but to forge a new one to avoid arousing suspicion from the other clan heads. Except for the Nangong family’s head, all the other noble family heads gathered in the council hall.
On Wangquan Hongye’s behalf, Steward Fei announced that from now on, forging swords with demon cores would be strictly forbidden. Mu Xiaowu knelt outside the Yang family gate all night. Yang Yitan couldn’t bear to see it and pleaded with the Yang family head—his grandfather, Yang Huan Zhou—but Yang Huan Zhou looked down on Mu Xiaowu’s humble origins. He ordered his son Yang Ying to find a midwife to abort the child in Yang Yan’s womb.
Yang Yitan wouldn’t let anyone harm even a single hair on his aunt Yang Yan. To help her, he went out and knelt beside Mu Xiaowu. Yang Ying advised Yang Huan Zhou not to push Yang Yitan too far. After all, there were few in the Yang family who could open the Heavenly Eye, and Yang Yitan’s marriage was the most respectable cover for the family’s shame.
Just then, Wangquan Hongye arrived at the Yang residence to propose marriage on Mu Xiaowu’s behalf. He brought a chest full of betrothal gifts and had someone pick an auspicious date for the wedding—exactly one month later. Following Wangquan Hongye’s instructions, Mu Xiaowu served tea to Yang Huan Zhou. Yang Huan Zhou requested that Mu Xiaowu marry into the Yang family and become a live-in son-in-law. Mu Xiaowu hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed.
Dongfang Qinlan teased Dongfang Huaizhu, saying that the seventh day of the seventh lunar month was fast approaching, and she would soon meet the masked Sword Master. Jin Renfeng, the senior disciple of Divine Fire Villa, had returned. He had always liked Dongfang Huaizhu, but she made her attitude clear—she didn’t return his feelings. Wangquan Zui helped Wangquan Hongye pick out an outfit.
She was also pleased with Dongfang Huaizhu and looked forward to the moment her brother would take off his mask and face Dongfang Huaizhu. At the Bamboo Pavillion By River Huai, Dongfang Huaizhu met with the Sword Master. They soared into the sky, one casting Divine Fire, the other wielding fire with his sword—they were absolutely thrilled. The two got along exceptionally well. Dongfang Huaizhu wasn’t curious about the face behind the mask.
The timing and situation weren’t right for revealing his face, so Wangquan Hongye wore the mask from beginning to end. Wangquan Zui fretted over her brother’s lifelong happiness. Yang Yitan reminded her that one month later would be Yang Yan and Mu Xiaowu’s wedding day, and Dongfang Huaizhu would likely be there. On the wedding day, Dongfang Qinlan noticed that Wangquan Hongye looked at Dongfang Huaizhu strangely.
She deliberately kept him from interacting with Dongfang Huaizhu and quietly reminded Wangquan Hongye that Dongfang Huaizhu already had someone. She even mentioned the leader of the Masked Troupe, the Sword Master, and her words were full of admiration for him. Wangquan Zui was undeterred. She planned to stage a chance encounter between Dongfang Huaizhu and Wangquan Hongye the next day while Dongfang Huaizhu was out shopping for jewelry.
To prevent Dongfang Qinlan from interfering, she drugged a sugar-coated hawthorn skewer and gave it to her. Everything went according to plan, except Dongfang Qinlan didn’t remain unconscious all morning. She showed up and interrupted the arranged encounter between Dongfang Huaizhu and Wangquan Hongye. When a Taoist handed Wangquan Hongye an umbrella, Wangquan Zui, hiding in a corner, activated a Wind and Rain Talisman.
However, it summoned a fierce storm, blowing the umbrella away and drenching Wangquan Hongye like a drowned rat. Dongfang Qinlan made sure to come over and mock him with sarcastic remarks. Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan arrived at Ruyi Pavilion. Wangquan Hongye, who came to see their fifth sister Qingmu Yuan, was also there. Despite being soaked, his appearance still stirred admiration and envy among the women around.
