Episode 12

Jiang Yuping and his wife sent a potted plant to Xue Fangfei, thanking her for guiding Jiang Jingrui to play chess and giving him the opportunity to meet the Holy Emperor.Jiang Jingrui believed that he was gifted. Mrs. Lu was very grateful to Xue Fangfei and wanted to teach Jiang Jingrui a lesson in gratitude, but she accidentally ducked her waist.

Jiang Jingrui pulled Xue Fangfei aside and asked her about Zhou Yanbang's change of engagement.Rumor has it that Marquis Ningyuan put Zhou Yanbang in solitary confinement because he didn't want the matter to escalate.Jiang Jingrui teased Zhou Yanbang that he deserved it. When Jiang Li was sent to the Virgin Hall, he immediately changed the engagement.

Jiang Yunbai passed by the courtyard and saw Jiang Yunping and his wife rubbing their waists. He thought they were flirting, but he accidentally moved his waist too.Xue Fangfei appeared, and Jiang Yunbai was pleased that she won the annual examination and praised her for winning face for the Jiang family.Xue Fangfei said that she studied piano at Zhennv Hall, where there are many masters. She knew that Jiang Yunbai had doubts and asked him to speak out.

Jiang Yunbai mentioned Zhou Yanbang and wanted to ask her opinion on the engagement. Xue Fangfei said she didn't like Zhou Yanbang and she had already refused.Jiang Yunbai was happy and wanted to hold a celebration banquet for Xue Fangfei.Afterwards, Tong'er congratulated Xue Fangfei, thinking that Jiang Li would feel at ease in heaven.Xue Fangfei did not dare to take it lightly. She believed that there were more dangerous things ahead.

Li Zhongnan was ruthless and asked Li Lian to fulfill his bet. If he did not protect him, he would be sent to the temple and scolded him to improve his bad habits.Li Lian begged for mercy, but Li Zhongnan was indifferent.Li Jin guessed what Li Zhongnan was thinking. He knew that his father was working hard for Wanning and King Cheng's career, even at the expense of Li Lian.Li Jin proposed to deal with the Ye family in Luyang directly, and Li Zhongnan left the matter to him.

Li Fei learned that Xue Fangfei was powerful, and Ji Shuran came to her to think of countermeasures. She had doubted Xue Fangfei's identity.Mother Sun found the previous hall master, who confirmed that Xue Fangfei was Jiang Li.Ji Shuran no longer doubted that Xue Fangfei was just scheming.Li Fei gave her an idea and looked for an opportunity to ruin Xue Fangfei's reputation on the night she entered the palace to meet the saint.

Mrs. Jiang bought clothes for Xue Fangfei. She personally selected the green silk and white jade material to make her dress elegant and noble.Mrs. Jiang was pleased. She thought that Xue Fangfei and Ye Zhenzhen had similar demeanor, and they looked like ladies from famous families.She also asked her to take good care of her sisters and not to bury her grievances in her heart.

Jiang Ruoyao cut off her clothes. She didn't want to go to the palace if she lost. She thought her mother made a mistake by letting her learn the piano.Ji Shuran was angered and almost slapped Jiang Ruoyao. She accused Jiang Ruoyao of not being able to accept failure and demanded that she must enter the palace, otherwise she would not recognize her as her daughter.Tong'er didn't know Xue Fangfei's next move. Xue Fangfei decided to lure him out from Shen Yurong. She suspected that she was a powerful woman and coveted the position of the No. 1 scholar's wife.

Ye Shijie passed by Jiang's house and was a little moved when he saw Xue Fangfei. He proposed to send Xue Fangfei to the palace.Xue Fangfei left him alone and prepared to make the carriage arranged by her family.Jiang Jingrui suddenly appeared, shouting to go with Ye Shijie, and pulled Xue Fangfei onto the carriage.

On the way, Jiang Jingrui saw Ye Shijie staring at Xue Fangfei and said with a smile that he had a crush on Xue Fangfei. Ye Shijie was nervous, but Jiang Jingrui said that he had a crush on Xue Fangfei's silk clothes.The three of them ran around all day and finally arrived at the palace at night.

Xue Fangfei stood at the gate of the palace, remembering that when Shen Yurong was sent to the palace as the champion of high school, she did not follow him into the palace to meet the saint, but silently watched his back as he entered the palace.But at this moment, she was standing at the gate of the palace, lost in thought.Catkins also arrived, and the four of them entered the palace together.

Zhou Yanbang called Jiang Ruoyao, but Jiang Ruoyao showed her temper and ignored him.Emperor Hong Xiao and Concubine Li attended. Some people discussed that Concubine Li was once the concubine of the former emperor. After the death of the former emperor, she fell in love with brother Hong Xiao, which is why she got the title of Concubine Li today.The leader of the annual examination met with Emperor Hong Xiao, who publicly appointed Ye Shijie as a member of the household department. He was appreciated by Xue Fangfei for his talent and integrity, and rewarded the four of them with jewelry and jade.Xue Fangfei boldly refused jewelry and jade, expressing her admiration for Shen Yurong's talent, and asked the Holy Father to let Shen Yurong guide her in learning, and Emperor Hong Xiao agreed.

After singing and dancing for a while, Concubine Li excused herself from being drunk, and Emperor Hong Xiao left with her.Xue Fangfei took the initiative to find Shen Yurong and mentioned his deceased wife to him.Wan Ning arrived at this moment. When she saw Jiang Li's face, she was surprised and said directly that she looked like Shen Yurong's late wife.Xue Fangfei saw Wan Ning and guessed that she was the person behind the scenes.

Wan Ning proposed to test the leader's archery. She wanted to find a target for Xue Fangfei and pointed it directly at Li Jin.Shen Yurong came forward and said that she would be the target, hoping that Wan Ning would calm down.Wan Ning became even more angry and changed the archery to real arrows, letting Xue Fangfei shoot the wine bottle on Shen Yurong's head.Xue Fangfei saw the wine bottle on Wan Ning's chest and was convinced that it was given to her by Shen Yurong. She pointed the arrow at Shen Yurong without mercy and drew her long bow.
