Cui Xingzhou's aunt deliberately tried to cause trouble and even attempted to win people over to publicly embarrass Liu Miantang. However, Cui Xingzhou was fully aware of his aunt's tactics. He specifically called his uncle aside and warned him: if he continued to allow his aunt to create disturbances in their household, it would end his nephew's career, or worse, result in the Lian family being expelled from Zhenzhou.

This time, Cui Xingzhou’s aunt finally realized the severity of his warning and dared not act out again. Barely half a day after returning home, an imperial decree arrived from the palace—Prince Lu had rebelled, and the King of Huaiyang was ordered to quickly lead troops to suppress the revolt. The military situation was urgent, and it might not be possible to wait until the planned wedding day.

As Cui Xingzhou prepared to set out on the campaign, his only concern was Liu Miantang. He went to his mother’s study, asking her to pass on the Huaiyang Princess's seal to Liu Miantang early. At first, the Dowager Consort was reluctant, but she couldn’t resist Cui Xingzhou’s earnest pleas, and finally, she handed the Huaiyang Princess's seal to Liu Miantang.

Now that Cui Xingzhou was reassured, he visited Liu Miantang in her room before departing, carefully giving her a few words of advice. He didn’t want Liu Miantang to accompany him to the frontlines again, and Liu Miantang, understanding his concern, comforted him by promising to stay with the Dowager Consort and wait for his triumphant return. After Cui Xingzhou left, the Dowager Consort called Liu Miantang alone to her study.

She solemnly handed her a beautifully crafted wooden box and asked her to open it. Inside, Liu Miantang found a pearl hairpin, which at first seemed ordinary. The Dowager Consort smiled and then instructed the servants to close the doors and windows and extinguish the candles. Suddenly, the pearl hairpin in Liu Miantang’s hand shone brightly, dazzling in the darkness. It turned out to be the legendary luminous pearl hairpin, a rare family heirloom.

By giving it to Liu Miantang, the Dowager Consort clearly acknowledged her status. When Cui Xingzhou’s aunt heard that the luminous pearl hairpin had been given to Liu Miantang, she regretted that the situation had turned against her, and Lian Binglan’s face turned pale with frustration. The two of them, filled with resentment, planned to take action, determined not to let the position of Huaiyang Princess slip away from them. He Zhen had recently been deeply engrossed in studying porcelain making.

She spent many days and nights at the kiln factory and finally produced a satisfactory ceramic body. Excitedly, she showed it to Liu Miantang. Liu Miantang advised He Zhen that since the Emperor disapproved of extravagance, she should focus on the details. He Zhen accepted Liu Miantang's suggestions and produced porcelain that was both rich in color and delicately refined.

When she presented these pieces to the porcelain guild members, they were full of praise for the colors and finally acknowledged He Zhen's porcelain-making skills. To solidify his position, Shi Yikuan arranged for his other daughters to enter the palace, deliberately inviting the Emperor to admire their beauty. The Emperor, fully aware of Shi Yikuan's intentions, had no choice but to temporarily compromise, given the unstable political situation. He needed Shi Yikuan's active resistance against Prince Sui.

Shi Xueji's older sister, expecting to be soon conferred the title of Noble Consort, became arrogant and overbearing, almost on par with the Empress. Although Shi Xueji was displeased, she did not embarrass her elder sister. While Cui Xingzhou was on the frontlines, he wrote letters to Liu Miantang during his spare time, almost one every day, and their relationship remained sweet.

Since Liu Miantang entered the Zhen Nan Marquis's residence, the Dowager Consort grew increasingly fond of her as she got to know her better. When she received an invitation from the Marquis of Zhen Nan, she decided to take Liu Miantang with her to the banquet. The Dowager Consort even had several luxurious outfits made for Liu Miantang. When Liu Miantang appeared before her in these opulent fabrics, the Dowager Consort couldn’t help but exclaim how beautiful she looked.

She asked Liu Miantang to turn around so she could admire her from all angles, and then instructed the maid to bring out the jewelry she had worn in her youth for Liu Miantang to choose from. The Dowager Consort marveled at how Liu Miantang, with her natural beauty, looked stunning in any style of clothing.
