Murong Xuanlie ordered people to closely monitor his younger brother’s interactions with Mei Lin, and he suspected that someone in the court had secretly allied with Prince Jing. He feared that on the night of the Shangsi Festival, Murong Jinghe was not merely there to watch the fire dragon. Meanwhile, Murong Jinghe instructed his men to find a way to approach Li Qing, but the heavy security at the Xishan mine made it difficult to get inside.

To avoid arousing Murong Xuanlie's suspicion, Murong Jinghe decided to turn the situation to his advantage, making it seem as though he had completely fallen in love with Mei Lin. Murong Jinghe began frequently visiting Honglu Temple to accompany Mei Lin, patiently watching her practice dancing. Since Mei Lin only knew how to wield weapons, her dancing was clumsy, like a stiff puppet on strings.

Murong Jinghe personally beat the drum to accompany her, and sure enough, Mei Lin’s movements became more natural when she combined them with her martial arts skills. However, she was still punished by the dance instructor and had to stand for two hours. Murong Jinghe couldn’t intervene, so he had someone fan her and hold an umbrella, turning her punishment into something more enjoyable, making the other women envious. The instructor had nothing more to say.

Meanwhile, Princess Zi Gu, upon hearing of Shumo's death, decided to plant some Isang flowers and dug up soil from the imperial garden, nearly digging up the peonies that Emperor Yan had ordered planted. Fortunately, Murong Qian did not blame her and instructed the agricultural officer to send some gardeners to help Zi Gu plant the Isang flowers in her palace. Back in her palace, Zi Gu was overwhelmed with sadness.

On one hand, she was angry that Yue Qin always kept secrets from her, and on the other, she was heartbroken over their impending separation. Years ago, when their mother passed away, Yue Qin and Zi Gu depended on each other for survival. Later, when Yue Qin went to Yan as a political hostage, Zi Gu, out of anger, didn’t go to see him off.

Now, Zi Gu had grown a lot and could no longer live as carefreely as she once had. She declared that this time, she would protect her family. Yue Qin personally sought out Emperor Yan and played a game of chess with him, expressing his desire to maintain good relations between the two nations. Murong Qian also promised that Zi Gu would be well cared for in the harem and that her innocence would be preserved.

In the days that followed, Murong Jinghe either spent time with Mei Lin at Honglu Temple or sent her various gifts, such as jewelry, clothes, and even medicinal tonics. Mei Lin’s friends gossiped about how deeply Prince Jing had fallen for her, and one of them even gave Mei Lin a book of illustrations on intimate matters between men and women, which made Mei Lin blush.

Coincidentally, it was Mei Lin's birthday, and Yue Qin came with a gift, intending to use the opportunity to confess his feelings. However, before he could say much, Murong Jinghe suddenly walked in, and the two rivals faced each other, creating an intense atmosphere. Mei Lin found herself stuck in the middle, unsure of what to do. Although she knew Murong Jinghe was just putting on an act, she still felt a strange emotion towards him.

Murong Jinghe took Mei Lin on a boat ride down the river, admiring the scenery. He told her that he had once fought in the northern border of Yan, sailing across the Lancang River, where he had seen a stunning blue starry sky. He shared the myth of the Lancang River with her. As a gift, Murong Jinghe released countless floating lights onto the river.

He was the only one who knew Mei Lin’s real birthday and had prepared lantern cakes for her, making Mei Lin overjoyed. Looking at the lantern cakes, Mei Lin was reminded of her parents. Murong Jinghe then drew a family portrait for her. Mei Lin wished to live well and one day open a spring flower pastry shop.

Jinghe promised that once the Crown Prince was overthrown, he would help her open the shop, and they would split the profits fifty-fifty. Even though Mei Lin knew Murong Jinghe was acting for the Crown Prince's benefit, in that moment, she truly felt touched by him. The next morning, Murong Jinghe ordered Honglu Temple to make pastries for Mei Lin, specifically requesting that they didn’t need to taste good but should look exquisite.

Mei Lin recalled how she had mentioned that since she couldn’t taste anything, beautiful pastries could make up for it. She was surprised and touched that Murong Jinghe remembered this. However, Granny Liu, who was Murong Xuanlie's spy, reported everything, including Mei Lin's loss of taste. Wang Quan also discovered that Murong Jinghe had attended the Shangsi Festival to seek treatment for Mei Lin. When the imperial physician Sun Taiqing was unable to find a cure, he was beaten.

Murong Xuanlie found the situation amusing, believing that Murong Jinghe had fallen for his pawn, which would only benefit his relationship with Yin Luomei.
