After Li Rong's mediation, Lin Feibai was sentenced to military confinement instead of exile. Shangguan Ya explained to him that the advantage of being exiled to the army is that if you achieve military merit, you will have the opportunity to have your merit reduced and even hold an important position in the army. She suggested that Lin Feibai cooperate with Li Rong. Once he performs meritorious service, Li Rong will definitely report to the emperor and let him join the Xie family tree, thus clearing his name and making achievements on the battlefield.

When bidding farewell to Lin Feibai, Shangguan Ya politely asked the other party to return the leaf cards, but Lin Feibai mistakenly thought that the other party wanted to give it to him. Although Shangguan Ya clarified that it was just a temporary loan for safekeeping, Lin Feibai still said that life on the southwest border was boring and planned to use this set of leaf cards to relieve his boredom, and promised to keep it properly.

In the name of practicing music, Princess Huale invited Su Rongqing to give her instructions on music scores. The advice given by Su Rongqing won the approval of Princess Huayue. She hoped to have more contact with him in the future, so she couldn't wait to pull Su Rongqing to start playing music, not wanting to waste this good time.

During the Spring Festival, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan took a break as usual, and the princess's mansion was bustling with activity. Lanterns were hung high, Spring Festival couplets were posted on the door, and the courtyard was cleaned by servants. Li Rong was in a particularly happy mood and cooked dumplings by herself. Pei Wenxuan gently wiped the flour off her cheeks and called her "little cat" with a smile.

The Su family was also in an atmosphere of joy, and the family of four was enjoying themselves. The mother hopes that the brothers will get married soon, and Su Rongqing cleverly leads the topic to Su Ronghua. Seeing his brother chatting and laughing happily with his parents, and recalling that his whole family was destroyed and he was tortured by castration in his previous life, he secretly vowed to protect his family and prevent the family tragedy from happening again due to Li Chuan's ascension to the throne.

As night fell, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan hosted a banquet in the mansion to entertain their servants. There was a silver coin hidden in the dumplings, which added a bit of surprise. Li Rong teased Pei Wenxuan for having too little money, and Pei Wenxuan took out the red envelope again as compensation and asked Li Rong to say something nice to him. At this time, it was snowing heavily outside, and everyone went out to enjoy the snow and fireworks. Pei Wenxuan silently made a promise in his heart to give Li Rong a warm home and heal all her pain. From then on, His Highness had a consort, and Li Rong had Pei Wenxuan.

Su Rongqing was walking alone on the street, seeing pairs of pedestrians walking next to each other, and felt a sense of loneliness in her heart. The street stall owner gave Su Rongqing a lantern and told him that the result was important, but the important thing was the process and not to leave any regrets. At the same time, Su Ronghua and Shangguan Ya met unexpectedly at the Jucai Pavilion, and they had a great time.

According to the custom, the palace held a banquet to entertain the married princess and important ministers on the first day of the first lunar month. The next day, a grand palace banquet was held as scheduled, and the royal family and nobles gathered. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were invited to attend, and naturally met with Prince Li Chuan, Su Rongqing and others. The emperor raised a glass before the banquet and sincerely wished that the country of Daxia would last forever and the people would live and work in peace and contentment.

Princess Huale and King Su took the initiative to perform "Pingchuan Entering the Battle Song" in order to please the emperor and show their style at the palace banquet. Seeing that King Su was very heroic and ambitious, the emperor changed the topic and asked whether King Su could defeat Li Chuan. King Su was full of confidence and said that his martial arts skills were superior to Li Chuan.

Later, Princess Huale invited Su Rongqing to help out. In order to relieve Su Rongqing's siege, Li Rong offered to accompany her. Li Rong raised her hand to pluck the strings, and the tense opening melody came out. In comparison, Princess Huale's flute sound was slightly inferior, and her ability to control the instrument was not as good as Li Rong's ability to show it to the extreme. Extreme.

This song "Pingchuan Entering the Battle Song" was tense at first, and then became more and more intense, as if a sharp sword was drawn out of its sheath and charged into the enemy's formation, fighting fiercely all the way. This song was taught to Li Rong by Su Rongqing personally and was used to boost Li Chuan's morale during the Northern Expedition. Li Rong also went to the front line in person and was well versed in the meaning of this song.

Su Rongqing was relieved to see that Li Rong had not forgotten his past feelings, and immediately got up to play drums to accompany him. The fusion of piano and drums made Li Rong feel like she was back on the battlefield. At this time, Pei Wenxuan played the erhu at an inappropriate time. Although the sound speed of the erhu was different from that of the piano and drums, which seemed a bit abrupt, this incompatibility made the tone more distinct and added a different charm to the whole piece.

Seeing everyone praising Li Rong, Princess Huale felt dissatisfied. Pei Wenxuan became jealous again because Su Rongqing received attention, while Li Rong pursed her lips and snickered. The emperor was in high spirits and asked Li Chuan what he thought. Li Chuan said that he would do his best to relieve the emperor's worries and benefit the people. However, these words did not seem to satisfy the emperor.

Before the palace banquet ended, Li Chuan left the banquet first, feeling depressed. Li Rong came over to comfort his brother and promised that no matter what he did, he would fully support him. After experiencing the Qin family case, Li Chuan understood the importance of power. Only by holding power can he protect the people he loves. At the same time, Pei Wenxuan took the opportunity to mock Su Rongqing for coveting the princess in public, which was inappropriate. If he really wanted to start a family, he could help find a suitable partner. Before she finished speaking, Li Rong walked into the hall. Pei Wenxuan immediately took Li Rong in his arms and took her out of the hall as if to declare his sovereignty. Su Rongqing looked at the backs of the two of them, worried that Li Rong would repeat the sufferings of her previous life.

During the chat, Su Ronghua and Shangguan Ya agreed that if there is no one they like in the future, they will accompany each other. Soon, many students came to Beijing to take exams, and Su Rongqing invited them to his home to discuss, with the intention of selecting talents. Su's father was deeply gratified by this and promised on the spot to ensure the fairness of the imperial examination, which won warm applause from the students.
