Yu Qi came to Jiang Shi’s house to see her, but Jiang Ancheng blocked him at the entrance. Due to Yu Qi’s sensitive status, Jiang Ancheng did not want his daughter to marry a prince and get entangled in royal disputes. Even though Yu Qi assured Jiang Ancheng that he would always protect Jiang Shi, Jiang Ancheng still found it hard to trust him, as those within the royal family often had no control over their own fate.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi asked Jiang Shi about her feelings toward Yu Qi, and Jiang Shi openly admitted that she was fond of him. Jiang Zhan also questioned Lu Chuchu about why she was so determined to become a hero. Lu Chuchu explained that she had grown up in a military camp surrounded by men and had only ever seen women waiting for men to rescue them.

Her pride made her unwilling to accept such a fate—she did not want to be like other women, passively waiting for a man to save her. Instead, she wanted to be a hero who could save others. Seeing Lu Chuchu's confidence, Jiang Zhan did not feel any disdain; instead, he praised her. Yu Qi and Zhen Hang conducted a thorough investigation into the assassins and discovered that many people were involved, including those in high-ranking positions.

The emperor was also troubled by the matter because the Nightingale Sect had infiltrated the Astronomical Bureau, deliberately concealing celestial omens, which nearly allowed the assassination to succeed. As a result, the emperor could no longer trust the current officials in the bureau and needed to appoint a new person in charge. Taking the opportunity, Zhen Hang recommended Jiang Ancheng.

Zhen Hang specially made a kite with a flute for Princess Fuqing so that she could hear the kite’s sound while flying it, allowing her to sense its position through the sound. The empress was puzzled when Nanny Hua informed her that Princess Fuqing had gone to rest early due to exhaustion from flying kites during the day.

Nanny Hua explained that it was Zhen Hang who had made the kite for Princess Fuqing and that the flute on the kite allowed her to perceive its position through sound. The empress then asked how Princess Fuqing and Zhen Hang had met, and Nanny Hua took the opportunity to mention that Princess Fuqing had already reached marriageable age.

To keep her sister from feeling too stifled at home, Jiang Shi took Jiang Yi to her shop to help manage the business. Meanwhile, Cui Mingyue, seeking to win the emperor’s favor, colluded with the imperial physician to use her own blood as a medicinal ingredient for the emperor. When the emperor learned of her sacrifice, he was deeply moved. Cui Mingyue then pretended to be weak and nearly fainted before the emperor.

Seizing the opportunity, she expressed her desire to marry Yu Qi, and as a result, the emperor restored her title as a county princess. That night, Yu Qi, unable to suppress his longing for Jiang Shi, secretly went to see her. He told her that the palace was preparing a flower appreciation banquet to select brides for himself and the Sixth Prince. Yu Qi intended to use the banquet as an opportunity to publicly declare their relationship.

Yu Qi went to visit his birth mother, Consort Xian. Initially, Consort Xian was indifferent to Yu Qi, but since he could be useful to Prince Qi, she agreed to see him. During their meeting, Yu Qi revealed his intention to choose a consort. Seeing his sincerity, Consort Xian began to develop some affection for him. Invitation letters from the palace arrived at the Jiang residence, delighting the Jiang Matriarch.

Meanwhile, the Grand Princess also prepared a generous gift for Yu Qi and attempted to entice him into an alliance by promising to support him in becoming crown prince. However, Yu Qi refused. Madam Xiao, upon hearing that the palace had invited Jiang Shi for the selection of royal consorts, became envious. As the flower appreciation banquet approached, all the invited young women gathered at the palace.

Cui Mingyue encountered Jiang Shi and, upon noticing that they were wearing identical outfits, ordered someone to tear Jiang Shi’s dress. However, the Grand Princess intervened to stop Cui Mingyue, pointing out that if she continued making a scene, she would only harm herself. Before the banquet officially began, the invited ladies had to compete in a series of challenges. When Consort Xian saw Jiang Shi, she was unimpressed, finding her too outstanding and independent.

Additionally, Jiang Shi's reputation outside the palace was not ideal. Consort Xian wanted Yu Qi to choose an obedient princess consort—someone she could manipulate to her advantage.
