Pei Jihuai told Ji Yuansu that he had locked up the assassin of Jin Bo. Ji Yuansu, angry and thinking of what the Empress Dowager had said, took it out on Pei Jihuai. Lin Huizhi asked if Ji Yuanhong often played with Hua Liuli, and told him that the Lin family did not care about status and power, and encouraged him to play with Hua Liuli. Hua Liuli invited the Empress Dowager to go to the garden with her to show off the clothes the Empress Dowager had given her. While they were walking, the Empress Dowager said she wanted Hua Liuli to be with Lord Ying. The Empress Dowager let Hua Liuli walk alone, but she met Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu. Concubine Xian mocked Hua Liuli for dressing up to meet the Emperor. The Empress Dowager defended Hua Liuli and Concubine Xian apologized and left.
Ji Yuansu went to see the Empress Dowager and told her he did not know who his grandmother was. The Empress Dowager teased him about wanting to talk to her about Hua County Princess. The Crown Prince said he had some misunderstandings with Hua Liuli and wanted to reconcile. The Empress Dowager thought he had other intentions and the Crown Prince invited her to a banquet in the Eastern Palace. Hua Liuli initially declined, citing her poor health, but changed her mind when she heard there would be grilled meat. The Crown Prince told Hua Liuli about a persimmon tree in the courtyard that had been with him for a long time. Hua Liuli was touched and wanted to keep the letter he wrote for her.
The Crown Prince tried to grill the meat himself but failed, so Hua Liuli did it for him. They talked about their favorite foods and Ji Yuansu started to develop feelings for Hua Liuli. He showed her the gift she had given him, which he had kept well. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager played chess and discussed the ceremony for the God of Heaven. They decided to let Hua Liuli participate in national affairs and encouraged her to spend more time with Ji Yuanhao to develop their relationship.
For the ceremony, Hua Liuli was dressed up early in the morning and given the clothes the Empress Dowager had sent her. She was also told to drink less water and given some items from the Empress Dowager in case of emergency. Tian Jiamin saw Hua Liuli in the palace and gave her a hand warmer when she saw the Crown Prince was not dressed warmly enough. Tian Jiamin was annoyed that Hua Liuli was always in her sight.
During the beginning of the sacrifice ceremony, while Ji Yuansu was reading the sacrificial text, Hua Liuli was chatting with Tian Jiamin. Hua Liuli asked if she wanted to eat milk candy, and although Tian Jiamin said no, she actually wanted to eat it. The Empress Dowager expressed her desire to speak with Hua Liuli and Lord Ying. After the Emperor agreed, Lord Ying and Hua Liuli approached, and Hua Liuli gave her milk candy to the Crown Prince. The Empress Dowager said she had high hopes for Hua Liuli. After the ceremony, Hua Liuli was to leave Shoukang Palace and return to Hua Mansion. The Empress Dowager had prepared many things for her to take back. Hua Liuli bid farewell and the Empress Dowager was reluctant to let her go. The Third Prince came to see her off and gave her a painting.
When Hua Liuli saw the Crown Prince at the door, she asked if he came to see her off. He said if she wanted to live in Hua Mansion on Jinque Street, he would talk to the Emperor tomorrow. However, Hua Liuli was used to living in the old mansion in the western suburbs and preferred to stay there.
Yan Wei complained to Hua Liuli about Lord Ying's behavior. Hua Liuli told her not to be surprised, as she was imprisoned in Shoukang Palace and he had time to promote his ideas. Hua Liuli was not worried, as she believed the influence of the Hua family on the people would have an impact. She still had time and might even win against Ji Yuanhao.
The Emperor set aside a piece of land for the World Conference, but when he learned that the ministers had not taken care of the relocation of the local people, he became very angry and felt sorry for the heavens. The Emperor ordered Lord Ying and Hua Liuli to settle the relocation of the people and cultivate their relationship.
The Emperor called Ji Yuansu to assist him in handling state affairs, but he was eating. The Emperor asked him to take a look, but Ji Yuansu thought the memorials were trivial matters, even including the matter of slapping a dragon's butt. Ji Yuansu planned to find Ji Yuanhao and Hua Liuli. The Emperor told the Crown Prince not to interfere with Hua Liuli and the Crown Prince's affairs, but he asked him to interrogate the General of Jin Bo. The Crown Prince told the Emperor to rest when he needed to, and Yan Wei told Hua Liuli about Lord Ying setting up a shed in the city to distribute porridge. Hua Liuli planned to go and see.
