Episode 16

When Yan Changyun succeeded in changing the situation, he successfully identified Xiao Quan's lackey Song Ting as the murderer of Prime Minister Xiao, successfully eradicating a major link in the imperial court.Mingxiao was originally worried about Chuyue moving into Yan Changyun's house. The emperor was talking about Chuyue as a woman. He even wanted to give her a female official in order to let Mingxiao stay with him, but Mingxiao refused.

Xiao Quan planned to use Princess Jiayang of Ning State to check and balance Yan Changyun, and specially reported to the court about the welcoming ceremony next month. The ministers did not dare to receive it rashly. Jiayang had a very high status and had killed three consorts. The ministers made every excuse to refuse..Afterwards, the emperor was furious because no one received Princess Jiayang. Eunuch Feng suggested that Princess Jiayang should be received at dawn, so that he could make meritorious service and leave the clean room smoothly.Mingxiao happily accepted the job and showed off to Qianyuwei dressed in official clothes.Yan Changyun reminded Liming that he could not take this job. After all, Jiayang had a bad reputation, but Liming disagreed.

Liming and Yan Changyun received a grand reception at the palace gate. At this time, Bai Yi and his apprentice Li'er were also observing Liming in the dark. Li'er complained to his master Bai Yi, saying that the way Liming looked at Yan Changyun was clearly in love with him and that he had betrayed his master., and Bai Yi warned her not to make any assumptions.Jiayang stepped out of the carriage and reached out to let Mingxiao help her, but Yan Changyun found the symptoms of long-term use of Zhuyin powder in her hands and took the initiative to help her. Mingxiao looked at Yan Changyun who was so attentive and felt jealous.

Bai Yi hopes that Li'er and Mingxiao will always love each other and support each other, so that he can feel at ease after a hundred years.On behalf of Ning Guo, Jiayang came to discuss opening up trade routes, and the emperor and other civil and military officials warmly entertained him.After the song was over, Jiayang proposed that the Ningguo men perform a sword dance. While the four were performing, their swords broke and flew towards the emperor and Mingxiao. The emperor pretended to be calm. Fortunately, Yan Changyun knocked down the flying sword with a wine glass, and MingxiaoHe was also rescued once by Yan Changyun.Yan Changyun directly ordered Qian Yuwei to capture the Ningguo male dancer. Upon seeing this, Jiayang personally apologized and presented Yudaixiang, an exclusive tribute from Ningguo nobles. When the incense was brought up, everyone sighed that the incense was extraordinary, but Yan Changyun frowned.

Jiayang proposed that Yan Changyun be her personal bodyguard in the South. Mingxiao was the first to stand up and object. Yan Changyun also felt it was inappropriate. However, out of selfish motives, the emperor hoped that Yan Changyun would be favored by Jiayang. Then Mingxiao would be his, and he readily agreed to Yan Changyun.Become Jiayang's personal bodyguard.Afterwards, Jia Yang fell on Yan Changyun while drunk. Yan Changyun found a red mark on her hand and sent her back to the room specifically to investigate Zhu Yinfen.Jiayang made every excuse to let Yan Changyun enter the room to serve him. Yan Changyun found that the princess had a strange fragrance, and the princess specially gave Yan Changyun a box.After being stopped by Ming Xiao, the princess was allowed to go back to the room alone, and Yan Changyun left with Yu Daixiang.

Bai Yi met Xiao Quan and asked Xiao Quan why he was using Jia Yang, knowing that Jia Yang was his sister.Xiao Quan reminded Bai Yi that Jiayang did not help when he was kicked out of the palace.Bai Yi missed his family ties and reminded Xiao Quan not to go too far.

Mingxiao researched and found that the reason why Jiayang was liked by men must be because of this incense, so she and Brother Dao filled the house with Yudai incense.Yan Changyun told Wei Tianjiao that the red mark on the princess's hand had the same pattern as the person who killed him when he was a child. Wei Tianjiao analyzed that the mark might be due to an increase in body temperature after drinking, and suggested going to Ningguo to investigate.At this time, Mingxiao was drunk by the incense and went crazy in front of Yan Changyun. She even held his hand and wanted to fly away with him.And Yan Changyun didn't want to, and promised to give her an explanation after finding out the mastermind behind it.

Jiayang has not seen Bai Yi for many years and apologizes to him, and wants to take him back to Ningguo, where he will protect his brother. However, Baiyi has already adapted to life in the south, and he can no longer walk and is unwilling to leave.Imperial Physician Qu carefully tested Yudaixiang and found no abnormalities. Yan Changyun decided to send a few more perfumers to assist in the inspection.Dawn came to visit Yan Changyun on the occasion of delivering breakfast, but found that he was not in the room, so he had to return with breakfast. Passing by the princess's room, he found Yan Changyun dining with the princess. She was hiding in front of the door and was discovered by the princess, who invited her to eat with her.When asked during the meal what kind of woman he likes, Yan Changyun directly said that he likes princesses who care about the people.
