Just as Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou were preparing for their wedding, an imperial decree arrived at the Qiao residence, publicly announcing that Liu Miantang was to be conferred the title of County Princess, along with a reward of five hundred households. She was also granted the title "Huai Sang. "Although an official promotion was generally seen as a good thing, Liu Miantang’s aunt muttered that the name "Huai Sang" didn’t sound particularly pleasant.

However, Cui Xingzhou praised the name, saying it perfectly tempered the sharpness of Liu Miantang’s original name, making it seem more gentle and harmonious. With their belongings packed, the Qiao family prepared to leave. Liu Miantang’s grandfather saw her off at the door, and Cui Xingzhou reassured the old man that he would take good care of Liu Miantang in Zhenzhou. The Emperor had already heard about Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou receiving their marriage certificate.

He was heartbroken, having hoped that Liu Miantang would change her mind and enter the palace to become his concubine. He had even reserved the night of his coronation and wedding for her. But in the end, he lost her. Shi Xueji, seeing the Emperor’s anger, quickly served him tea before hastily withdrawing. Cui Xingzhou brought Liu Miantang back to Zhenzhou, where they settled into the house they had originally prepared.

The neighbors, seeing Cui Xingzhou return limping, were ready to mock him, but when they saw Liu Miantang had returned with him, they were instead moved by the deep bond between the two. Cui Xingzhou’s aunt heard about his return to Zhenzhou and, weeping, brought her daughter to the Huaiyang Prince’s residence, hoping to make Lian Binglan his concubine. Just as Cui Xingzhou’s mother was about to relent, a letter from Cui Xingzhou arrived.

In it, he sternly instructed that anyone unrelated to them should leave, and he declared that the bride mentioned in the marriage certificate was Liu Miantang. She had once traveled a great distance to the border to support him, and now that she was his partner, he wished for a lifelong monogamous relationship, never taking a concubine. After hearing her son’s heartfelt declaration, Cui Xingzhou’s mother could say nothing more.

On their first night back in Zhenzhou, Cui Xingzhou was somewhat reserved. Liu Miantang took the initiative to invite him to share the bed, and the two embraced and fell asleep together. Cui Xingzhou marveled at how they had weathered so many trials and finally found happiness. He expressed his desire to hold a grand wedding banquet, and Liu Miantang agreed.

That evening, during the banquet, the neighbors who heard that the Prince of Huaiyang lived next door were so frightened they knelt in reverence. They admired Cui Xingzhou even more, recognizing him as both a good husband at home and a formidable warrior on the battlefield. After the wedding banquet, Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou took a stroll near their home. The moonlight was bright, and a gentle breeze blew, putting them both in a good mood.

Cui Xingzhou revealed a more innocent side of himself, and Liu Miantang, stepping on his shadow, was delighted to see him so relaxed. Naturally, the Prince of Huaiyang needed to bring his wife into the family formally, so the Dowager Consort hosted a banquet to welcome her son's return.

Cui Xingzhou’s aunt, hoping to ruin the occasion, bribed several women heavily to criticize Liu Miantang for living with the Prince as a concubine before marriage when they arrived at the Prince's residence. However, when they finally stood before the Dowager Consort, they were so intimidated that they changed their tune, instead thanking Liu Miantang for saving lives on the front lines.

Cui Xingzhou’s aunt was visibly upset, realizing that her plan, which she thought was clever, had been foiled by Cui Xingzhou. Seeing that people were coming to express their gratitude to his new wife, Cui Xingzhou took the opportunity to announce that he and Liu Miantang would officially marry next month.
