He felt pity and stayed with him.Shi Xueji's nostalgia for the pastry shop was noticed by Lu Wen. He cleverly used sweet cakes as a guide to bring the two closer and gave him precious fabrics, which doubled Shi Xueji's affection for him.

While the palace was immersed in preparations for the wedding, the uncle of the state arrived suddenly with the Queen Mother's decree. Cui Xingzhou was made a general and ordered to go to the frontier immediately.The Queen Mother's move was actually an attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but Cui Xingzhou had no choice but to accept the order and fight.After Lian Ruilan's family learned about it, in order to protect their daughter's future, they deliberately spread the news that she was seriously ill to avoid the marriage.Cui Xingzhou understood the mystery well and resolutely wrote a letter of termination of engagement to satisfy his cousin.

There were a lot of discussions about conscription among the chambers of commerce. After Liu Miantang heard about it, he became worried, fearing that Cui Xingzhou was too weak to bear the hardships of military service.Upon seeing this, He Zhen sarcastically left, leaving Liu Miantang with a stunned look on his face.Regardless of the dissuasion, she insisted on preparing her bags to go up the mountain to visit. Fortunately, Cui Xingzhou came back in time. The two had dinner together in the afternoon, talking to each other, and temporarily relieved the pain of separation.

When the King of Huaiyang returned in triumph, they would be able to welcome the joy of reunion from that horizon.Liu Miantang's heart was moved, but he also asked worriedly about the consequences of losing. Cui Xingzhou's eyes dimmed slightly and he sighed softly: "If that day comes, maybe I can only wrap my body in my shirt and return my soul to my homeland."%

As night fell, Liu Miantang took out the cover of the marriage book that he had sewn by himself and invited Cui Xingzhou to write about the future together.He wanted to refuse because of the night, but he saw that she had already prepared the text and only needed him to copy it.So, he held her tightly in his arms, and by the faint candlelight, he carved their vows word for word.When the rooster crows and Liu Miantang falls asleep peacefully, Cui Xingzhou quietly gets up and embarks on his journey.

When the morning light first came, Liu Miantang woke up. What lay on the table was not the expected marriage letter, but a divorce letter with heart-felt words.Cui Xingzhou couldn't bear her being involved in the war, so he made this decision reluctantly.After Liu Miantang read it, instead of complaining, he quickly called his nanny to prepare for a long trip.The mother-in-law mistakenly thought that she wanted to return to her parents' family, but she saw that she was determined to follow Cui Xingzhou to Qizhou.

On the way, the ambush set by Sun Yun'er was easily resolved by the shadow guards arranged by Cui Xingzhou, and Liu Miantang even went into battle in person, showing off his heroic appearance.Cui Xingzhou came over after hearing the news and changed into a guard's attire. He felt mixed feelings in his heart. He felt Liu Miantang's tenacity but also felt guilty for his arrangement.When the two met, he apologized profusely, but Liu Miantang only blamed him for imitating the King of Huaiyang and giving up.

On the other side, Zhao Quan visited the He family to borrow food and grass, but unexpectedly encountered a misunderstanding.He Zhen's brother mistakenly kidnapped Zhao Quan to his sister's boudoir with the intention of ruining his reputation.Fortunately, the master of the He family returned in time, scolded the traitor, and rescued Zhao Quan.Later, Zhao Quan talked about business with Mr. He, but due to a misunderstanding between the He family and his son, he mistakenly thought that Zhao Quan intended to propose marriage, so he readily agreed and generously waived the fee.Although Zhao Quan was surprised, he went along with the situation. Both parties were very happy, but they didn't know how many mistakes were hidden behind this misunderstanding.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 14 plot introduction

Mr. He was originally worried that the marriage between the Marquis and his daughter would be opposed by the wife, but when the Marquis personally promised that the marriage would be independent, he was finally relieved.Unexpectedly, the Marquis changed the topic and asked about the day of departure. Only then did he realize that the so-called important event was to raise military supplies rather than marry his beloved daughter.He Gong had an idea. Although he said that his family was mainly engaged in porcelain and had no food supply, he readily agreed to borrow the convenience of the convoy. He thought that sooner or later, he would become a family, so there was no need to care.

In order to promote marriage, Mr. He cleverly arranged for He Zhen and Zhao Quan to go on a food delivery trip together.

He Zhen was ready to go. Zhao Quan was grateful and clarified the misunderstanding, saying that he had no intention of getting married.At this time, a secret report from the Chamber of Commerce shocked Duke He. The battle of the King of Huaiyang was actually a strategy of the imperial court to abandon his son. There was a lack of food and grass, and there was much misfortune.He Gong urgently sent his second son to recover He Zhen. However, He Zhen understood the imperial conspiracy and resolutely went to the front line with Zhao Quan.

Liu Miantang led the women to weave insoles in the village to appease people and assert that the war was not imminent.There was a confrontation on the front line, and the King of Huaiyang took it calmly. The enemy was bluffing, and the two sides did not start a fight.

In the silence of the forest late at night, He Zhen came across a human skeleton. Although her expression did not change, her heart was still frightened.Zhao Quan tested her by telling her about ghosts, but she treated her with a stick until the truth was revealed, and He Zhen exclaimed repeatedly.

Cui Xingzhou patrolled the city and came to the medicine shop opened by Liu Miantang. He met Lin Siyue, an orphan from the Rongbu army, and they had a dispute over the real estate.Liu Miantang helped her and even gave her anti-fetal medicine as a promise to return home.

Zhao Quan used wine to strengthen his courage and pretended to be weak, but in fact he secretly used a clever trick to send He Zhen back safely.Cui Xingzhou wanted to confess his identity to Liu Miantang, but was interrupted by Zhao Quan and missed the opportunity.While drinking heavily, Zhao Quan confided in him about the King of Huaiyang. Although Liu Miantang did not believe his exaggeration, he praised him for his loyalty and bravery.When Cui Xingzhou heard this, he became even more timid and did not dare to tell the truth.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 15 plot introduction

One day, Liu Miantang's busy figure next to the medicine shop was suddenly interrupted by a burst of urgent news. He learned that a small team mentioned by Cui Xingzhou had encountered an accident and suffered heavy casualties.Her heart clenched instantly, fear and uneasiness welled up in her heart. She hurried back into the house, closed the door tightly, and repeatedly thought about Cui Xingzhou's safety in her mind, silently praying that he would be safe.

Soon, familiar footsteps sounded outside the door. It was the husband she thought about day and night.The moment the door opened, tears burst into my eyes. Cui Xingzhou was safe and sound in front of me. The two hugged each other tightly. After experiencing the test of life and death, their emotions became more and more indestructible.

On the other side, Shi Xueji followed her mother's orders and went shopping, enjoying delicious food leisurely on the way.Faced with the recommendation of the waiter, she chose the big elbow that she liked. Unexpectedly, Lu Wen happened to be dining here.Lu Wen made deliberate arrangements just to get close to Shi Xueji and show his informal side. This move quietly narrowed the distance between the two.When it comes to chess, although Lu Wen deliberately avoided the invitation to teach, Shi Xueji's sincerity and curiosity still made him feel good.

Liu Miantang accidentally discovered the secret of “Ghost Sweet Root” in nature, and its medicinal properties posed a threat to enemy cavalry.She acted quickly, collected herbs and informed Cui Xingzhou. Cui Xingzhou made a clever plan and used grain and grass as bait to successfully trick the enemy's horses, and ultimately won a complete victory.After returning from the war, Cui Xingzhou fainted in front of Liu Miantang due to exhaustion. Zhao Quan diagnosed it as fatigue and suggested a hot spring treatment.So, on a bright day, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang went to the hot spring together. Although they declined to bathe together because of the unresolved secrets in their hearts, their deep affection and care were beyond words.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 16 plot introduction

He Gong advised his daughter to cherish Zhao Quan and be a trustworthy person, but He Zhen was disappointed. She had always worked so hard to perform and take care of business, but now her father only wanted to use her to marry into the Hou family.He Zhen came to talk to Liu Miantang, but she hesitated and had to use the name of a good friend as an analogy. When she was a child, she burned her brain and regarded irrelevant people as relatives, but she was dissuaded by the people around her from meddling in other people's business.Liu Miantang knew what she meant, and he used the embroidery in his hand to express that he could only start over from scratch if he had to dismantle the embroidery again.Concubine Chu drank the soothing soup prepared by Bi Lan. In order to stop the rumors in Youyou and preserve the reputation of King Huaiyang, Concubine Chu asked Concubine Chu to re-accept her in front of everyone in Lumen Temple tomorrow.Bin Lan is the daughter-in-law, and Cui Xingzhou has to agree even if he doesn't agree.Taoist priests began to enter the city one after another to prepare for Lumen Temple. Cui Xingzhou ordered people to take out all the Taoist priest rosters and found several suspicious people sneaking into the Taoist temple.Liu Miantang got off the bus early, saying that this time he would not go to the Taoist temple to crowd in, and sent Mother Li away to buy sea bass, while he went to the drug store to grab medicine.Lu Zhong and Lu Yi, pretending to be Taoist priests, came to the drug store to meet their sister Liu Miantang. They revealed that they had been looking for her back then, but Sun Yun blocked them in every possible way.

Liu Miantang and Li's mother went home carrying medicinal materials. Cui Xingzhou thought she had also gone to Lumen Temple, but there were suspicious people in the Taoist temple and asked her if she had any impressions.Liu Miantang always felt like he was being interrogated. Cui Xingzhou used water to cover up his panic behavior.Cui Xingzhou returned home. Concubine Chu had been waiting for a long time. Today, there were bandits mixed into the Taoist temple, so she was not there today.Concubine Chu specially brewed the tea sent by Bin Lan, and said that today's ritual had an unexpected incident. Fortunately, Bin Lan was by her side, so she could save the face of the Huaiyang Palace this time. For this favor, she must marry Bin Lan, but Cui XingzhouHe had no intention of marrying Bin Lan, and even went so far as to offend his mother and apologize to her, vowing to marry only Liu Miantang; Princess Chu beat him in anger.Cui Xingzhou took a bath that night, and Liu Miantang looked at his wounds and applied medicine on him.Cui Xingzhou said that King Huaiyang was in a bad mood today, and the concubine asked King Huaiyang to marry a woman he didn't like.Cui Xingzhou pulled Liu Miantang into the bathtub. Liu Miantang alertly pulled out the hairpin and prepared to assassinate Cui Xingzhou from behind, but found that he only wanted her to take a bath with him.

Liu Miantang talked about Yangshan and asked whether King Huaiyang was more powerful or Yangshan.Cui Xingzhou sighed, I am afraid that the outcome will never be decided again. Back then, the leader of the bandit Yangshan took advantage of the truce between the soldiers to attack the King of Huaiyang. At that time, no one thought that the leader of the bandit would betray his promise and why he betrayed his promise. This was how the prince captured the leader of the bandit for many years.The reason is, I just want to know the truth.Liu Miantang was shocked and realized that she might have misunderstood Cui Xingzhou. That was not the case when she assassinated the King of Huaiyang.Someone must have instigated it.Liu Miantang asked Cui Xingzhou to accompany him to Yangshan Mountain and looked at the place where he had fallen into the cliff.Talking about the truce that year and the sky lit up with prayer lanterns, why couldn't we see the thieves' sneak attack?Cui Xingzhou said that he set up camp on the roadside as agreed, but what he waited for was a sneak attack by the bandits.Liu Miantang realized that King Huaiyang did not lie.Cui Xingzhou had a premonition that he was going to lose Liu Miantang, so he decided to tell her all the truth. Just as he was about to speak, he rushed over to report that the concubine was seriously ill.Sun Yun learned that Liu Miantang had gone to Yangshan and left a secret code. She would meet at Youyu Cave at noon five days later and knew that the secret code was for Ziyu.When Concubine Chu woke up, Cui Xingzhou hurriedly fed her mother the decoction.Concubine Chu was willing to take a step back and agreed to Cui Xingzhou bringing Liu Miantang into the house as his concubine.Cui Xingzhou said that her father had too many concubines. Keeping in mind the miserable life he and his mother had since childhood, she decided to marry only one person in her life and would not take concubines.Cui Xingzhou received the news that Lu Wen traveled westward but did not enter Zhenzhou, and suspected that Ziyu was not Lu Wen.After opening another letter, his face suddenly darkened.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 17 plot introduction

Liu Miantang's thoughts drifted back to the past. She quietly insinuated Cui Xingzhou and asked about every detail of her trip to Zhenzhou last year. Cui Xingzhou responded with fictitious stories. Liu Miantang's heart was clear but she did not reveal it.At the same time, Qiu Linxian was like a shadow in the dark night, silently watching Liu Miantang's every move.She took the pills in advance, held the wine glass in hand, and went to find Li's mother. Her words were full of gratitude for her past care.On the other side, in the prefect's mansion, Cui Xingzhou was invited to a banquet. He used his affair with the Rongbu to smuggle iron ore as bait to test the prefect's reaction. The prefect changed his face and became vague when he heard the words.Cui Xingzhou lied that A Gu Fan had revealed everything, but in fact he laid a trap.The Yamen servant took the opportunity to assassinate A Gu Fan, but he resisted vigorously.When the prefect heard A Gu Fan's confession, he was frightened, but Cui Xingzhou pressed forward step by step, demanding a confrontation in person, implying that there might be suspicion of silence.The general intervened, but the prefect saw that the situation was not good and fled into the backyard on the grounds of physical discomfort. He urgently ordered his wife to pack up her belongings and tried to escape, but he suddenly fell ill and died.Zhao Quan later discovered that there was poison hidden in the prefect's cup. The truth was revealed, and the mastermind behind the scenes was really eager to get rid of it.

In the dead of night, Liu Miantang stepped into the Pingyuan Escort Bureau, and the laughter and laughter with his brothers in the past seemed to be still in his ears.She recalled the deal with the old wolf master, forged her identity, and even gave her uncle the name Qiu Linxian.The sudden appearance of Zhao Po interrupted her thoughts, and she welcomed her return with joy, but she did not expect that the bloody night would come quietly.Assassins poured in like a tide, and Zhao Po fell in a pool of blood. Liu Miantang witnessed this and was immediately rescued by the tide.The assassin's search was unsuccessful and no trace of Qiu Linxian could be found.Liu Miantang woke up in the box, and the memory fragments were pieced together one by one. She recognized the hands that pushed her into the cliff, and hatred surged into her heart.She finally recalled that the change in her past marriage was actually a scene directed by her uncle, just to help her escape the shackles of fate.She changed her name to Lu Wen and used the name of her concubine to plot secretly.And the shadow that assassinated Cui Xingzhou three years ago was actually herself.

Cui Xingzhou led everyone to the escort office, only to see devastation, the building was empty, and the account books were missing.An umbrella on the threshold was very similar to the one used by Liu Miantang, which made him suspicious.On the way home, he saw Mrs. Li lying drunk, while Liu Miantang was busy in the kitchen, preparing sobering soup for him.Faced with the “accident” umbrella, Liu Miantang downplayed it and resolved the embarrassment on the grounds that it was common in the market.In the dead of night, the two of them slept on the same bed. Liu Miantang induced Cui Xingzhou to recall the past. Although he made up a beautiful past, he could not hide his guilt.Liu Miantang's eyes were filled with tears, and she was moved by the fictitious happiness, but in fact, her heart was as sharp as a knife.Sitting alone in the study, she wrote quickly, trying to sort out the intricate clues. She already knew in her heart that Cui Xingzhou and her were enemies rather than friends, but now they are married, and their fate is unpredictable.

In the palace, Shi Yikuan and Tzuyu met the Empress Dowager Wu. It happened that the young emperor was in power. Tzuyu cleverly took the cake. This move won the favor of the Empress Dowager Wu, who praised her father-in-law for his unique vision and the choice of a good son-in-law.Later, Ziyu presented the statue of the Queen Mother. When the atmosphere was getting thicker, the Empress Dowager walked in and was about to get angry when she saw the Buddha statue. Fortunately, the young emperor acted coquettishly and entangled her, and her anger was extinguished.She instead blamed the banquet for being too meaty and too bright, forgetting the sadness of the death of the late prince.Empress Dowager Wu used the excuse of a state banquet to hide her treachery, mentioning that if the former crown prince survives, the throne may change in another way.Ziyu acted according to the opportunity, and said that the banquet was actually to use the virtue of the former prince to encourage General Shi, and to eat meat to show the strength of the country, to avoid rumors of an empty treasury, and to appease the people.Empress Dowager Wu was overjoyed and gave Ziyu an official position.When Ziyu left the palace, she was recognized by a general, which aroused the Empress Dowager Wu's concern about King Huaiyang's great achievements, and Shi Yikuan urgently proposed a good plan to deal with it.

Ziyu cautiously met with the Empress Dowager, quoting scriptures, and finally the Empress Dowager looked at her seriously. Her face made her feel strange, and she warned her not to imitate her father-in-law's cunningness.On the other side, the prefect died suddenly, and the master's actions attracted people to watch. Liu Miantang recalled the past and donated money to the prefect to help the escort agency.As the watchman said, Cui Xingzhou paid attention and suspected that something heavy was traveling at night, and the sound of dripping water loomed.Qiu Linxian disguised himself as a fortune teller and borrowed words to convey the message. Liu Miantang understood it and secretly helped Yin Liang.When Li's mother asked for a hexagram, Liu Miantang took the opportunity to secretly communicate with Qiu Linxian and agreed on a secret code.The mystery of the empty box outside the capital, a painter painted a portrait of the murderer, Cui Xingzhou and others explored the forest hut and found a mezzanine, the secret code of the escort agency reappeared, and suspicions arose.

Liu Miantang and Li Mama's restaurant gathered together, but in fact they were monitoring the activities on the other side.Cui Xingzhou led his team in-depth, and Qiu Linxing's whereabouts became a mystery. Liu Miantang used chicken blood noodles as an excuse to repeatedly probe for information, alluding to Cui Xingzhou's rapid promotion.Cui Xingzhou understood his intention and led his team to the village the next day. He encountered a madman burning paper. Liu Miantang's obsession with Begonia Fruit was still lingering. The little beggar helped him catch a glimpse of the man wearing a bamboo hat, who was suspected to be the key.Qiu Linxian was hiding in the Hong Kong Red Pavilion and his whereabouts were exposed. Liu Miantang took advantage of fortune telling to reunite with Qiu Linxian and recall the past together.Cui Xingzhou followed the route to the Hong Kong Coliseum, where a battle of wits and courage quietly took place.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 19 plot introduction

Cui Xingzhou pursued Qiu Linxian's whereabouts and was convinced that he would not return to the Red Hall, so he stepped up surveillance of the Physiotherapy Hall.He secretly ordered Zhao Quan to keep a close eye on He Zhen to ensure that He Zhen's identity would not be leaked before successfully convincing his mother.The next day, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang strolled through the market. A bunch of candied haws brought back her warm memories of Zhenzhou, when Cui Xingzhou had personally fed her.The three of them were sitting around the stall, tasting butter cakes, when Qiu Linxian's figure flashed past.Cui Xingzhou followed him quietly on the pretext of buying candied haws, while Qiu Linxian cleverly led him into a deep alley.The little beggar's agility helped Qiu Linxian escape, but the stone left in his hand became the key to Cui Xingzhou's discovery of clues to the smuggling of iron ore.Based on the little beggar's hint, he speculated that there was a secret hidden in the house opposite. The sword and escort agency badge revealed through the crack in the door confirmed this conjecture.

Cui Xingzhou acted cautiously and did not immediately alert him. He returned to look for Liu Miantang. Unexpectedly, she and Li's mother had disappeared, making him extremely anxious.At this moment, Liu Miantang appeared quietly wearing a mask and startled him like a prank.Cui Xingzhou hugged her tightly, full of apologies, and regretfully told her that tonight's appointment might not be fulfilled.Liu Miantang sent away Mama Li on the grounds of a shopping list, but in fact he planned it on his own.In the middle of the night, Cui Xingzhou led the crowd to surround the escort agency, while Mr. Cao took refuge in the abandoned temple first.After a false alarm outside the door, Cui Xingzhou discovered evidence of iron ore transportation in the escort agency, and the steward revealed Mr. Cao as the mastermind behind it.Mr. Cao recognized Liu Miantang and attacked fiercely, but he did not expect her rapid recovery.Liu Miantang took the opportunity to reveal that Ziyu was actually the scapegoat, and the real culprit might be Sun Yun.After a fierce battle, Liu Miantang outsmarted Mr. Cao and seriously injured Mr. Cao. Qiu Linxian came later to avenge his comrades, and Mr. Cao was killed in the wilderness.

Liu Miantang's next step is to focus on Cui Xingzhou's true identity, intending to take advantage of his Zhenzhou power.Cui Xingzhou arrived and saw that Cao Duo was dead. Reminiscing that Liu Miantang had absconded with money in the past, which coincided with the opening of the Escort Bureau's account book, he speculated that she had secretly opened up the military transaction.He felt as if he was being controlled by an invisible hand and suspected that Lu Wen had returned.In the night market, Liu Miantang met Cui Xingzhou by chance and showed off his new bracelet. He borrowed the Flower Goddess's flower lottery game and used the blank lottery as an excuse to bite Cui Xingzhou in an intimate relationship, which meant “hate”.

Cui Xingzhou had outstanding military exploits and was allowed to return to Zhenzhou to visit relatives, but was not allowed to enter the capital. He was worried about the chaos in the mine and the mastermind behind it.The death of Aguma Fan made him even more angry, so he could only numb himself with cold water.Liu Miantang tenderly applied medicine to him. When talking about the arrow wound, Cui Xingzhou smiled and said he had no regrets. He felt that he and the shooter seemed to have known each other before, perhaps it was fate that resonated with him.But in fact, the arrow came from Liu Miantang's hand.She has found out Cui Jiu's true identity and informed Qiu Linxian with the help of the little beggar.On the way back to Zhenzhou, Liu Miantang's style remained the same and attracted everyone's attention. She was keenly aware of the surveillance and cleverly arranged it for Mother Li to deliver the news.In the small courtyard, the green grass was resting and waiting quietly, while Cui Xingzhou was observing secretly, waiting for the opportunity.The watcher was killed, and the bun was sent to Sun Yun as a warning, making her frightened.Concubine Chu was eager for her son, and finally the King of Huaiyang returned, and Bin Lan was with her to tide over the difficulties.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 20 plot introduction

Bin Lan stepped into the palace impatiently, but Cui Xingzhou had a displeased look on his face. He pretended to be helpless, claiming that he had no intention of going there because of rumors from the outside world, and he might be seen as clinging to the powerful.He admitted frankly that the concern for his cousin was genuine, but he did not want to be misunderstood as following someone's influence.Upon seeing this, Princess Chu immediately proposed to renew the marriage contract between the two families, but Cui Xingzhou responded calmly, and since they had met, she invited her cousin to go home.He bluntly pointed out that Bin Lan's ambition was not to become a princess, and that he had been a filial piety for three years. During the battle on the border, she was unwilling to compromise and get married, so he complied. He was not ruthless.Bin Lan was eager to defend herself, saying that she had missed good opportunities due to illness in the past, but later tried to explain but missed them again and again.Cui Xingzhou turned to Concubine Chu and confessed his feelings, saying that he belonged to a good family, and Liu Miantang, the daughter of the bandit under criticism, vowed to marry her.As soon as these words came out, Concubine Chu was so angry that she fainted.The fifth brother advised Cui Xingzhou not to fall out with his mother because of a commoner, but Cui Xingzhou remained firm, only Liu Miantang was his love.

On the other side, He Zhen learned that Liu Miantang had returned to Zhenzhou and was eager to visit her. On the way, he met a little girl who gave her flowers, but her search was unsuccessful.Zhao Quan appeared at the right time and used Jasmine as a guide to fabricate the dangerous Jinjia Pass experience. In fact, he intended to confuse He Zhen and prevent her from revealing her true relationship with Liu Miantang.Zhao Quan even lied that Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou were about to have a good relationship. He Zhen was half-convinced, but she knew Liu Miantang's temperament and could not easily forgive Cui Xingzhou.The housekeeper overheard the conversation between the Marquis and He Zhen, and mistakenly thought that the Marquis wanted to propose marriage to the He family, so he hurriedly announced the good news. However, He Gong misunderstood and urged his daughter to make an engagement quickly.He Zhen refused and was placed under house arrest.He Erlang's request to see the Marquis was unsuccessful, but the Marquis declined on the grounds that it was not appropriate to discuss marriage after the war.

Cui Xingzhou returned home drunk, the warmth of the past was no longer there, and Liu Miantang's indifference made him feel even more disappointed.At the same time, He Zhen and Mr. Hou had an argument about their marriage at the banquet, and He Erlang took the opportunity to escape.Cui Xingzhou warned Liu Miantang to be careful, fearing that Qiulin might sneak into Zhenzhou.The next day, He Zhen woke up and saw that the Marquis was holding a piece of porcelain and bleeding, and she realized that there was something strange in the wine last night.He Gong angrily rebuked He Erlang, and Zhao Quan promised that if He Zhen wished, he would marry him with proper etiquette.

However, she did not expect that her father only wanted to use her as a pawn in marriage.Frustrated, He Zhen went to Liu Miantang and confided her true feelings. Her words revealed a helpless sigh at her fate. She used the metaphor of mistaking a friend as a relative when she was young, implying that she was in trouble but was helpless.Liu Miantang understood this deeply and used the embroidery in his hands as a metaphor, saying that only by discarding old things can we weave a new chapter, implying that He Zhen should let go of her obsessions and seek new life.

At the same time, Concubine Chu drank the soothing decoction under the careful care of Bi Lan, while Bi Lan planned to use the grand gathering of Lumen Temple tomorrow to publicly regain the name of the Huaiyang Prince's daughter-in-law, with the intention of quelling external rumors and consolidating theThe reputation of the King of Huaiyang.Taoist priests poured into the city in an endless stream. When Cui Xingzhou was checking the list of Taoist priests, he noticed something strange. Several uninvited guests were hiding among them.Liu Miantang took the opportunity to avoid the crowd and sent Mother Li away on the pretext of buying fish. He went to the drug store alone and met up with brothers Lu Zhong and Lu Yi who were disguised as Taoist priests. They recalled the pain of finding his sister in the past when he was blocked.On the way home, Cui Xingzhou mistakenly thought that she was also going to the Taoist temple and mentioned the suspect who had sneaked in. Although Liu Miantang felt that he was being interrogated, he secretly paid attention to it.

As night fell, when Cui Xingzhou was taking a bath, Liu Miantang saw his scars and gently soothed them with medicine.The two talked about the day's events, and Cui Xingzhou revealed the helplessness and pressure in the Huaiyang Palace, especially the shackles of marriage imposed by his mother.Talking about the old events in Yangshan, Cui Xingzhou revealed the truth about the traitorous betrayal of the bandit leader, which made Liu Miantang suspicious that he might have wrongly blamed Cui Xingzhou.To find the answer, the two went to Yangshan together. Facing the dangers of the past, Cui Xingzhou was determined to reveal more secrets, but was interrupted by the news that the concubine was seriously ill.After Princess Chu woke up, she relented and allowed Liu Miantang to become her concubine, but she was firmly opposed by Cui Xingzhou. He swore to keep his promise of monogamy and could not be shaken.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 22 plot introduction

Cui Xingzhou received a letter from Brother Guangcai, which revealed that the person in the portrait was actually Qiao Xian, Liu Miantang's uncle, and his grandfather was Lu Wu. However, Lu Wen's existence seemed confusing, making people doubt his authenticity.sex.Cui Xingzhou looked through the book Liu Miantang had hidden in the vase. She had cleverly torn off a key page, obviously hiding something.Li's mother revealed privately that Liu Miantang purchased a large amount of medicinal powder, claiming that it was for Cui Xingzhou's health, but in fact his intentions were unpredictable.

On New Year's Eve, it was supposed to be a reunion, and the two of them ate glutinous rice balls together. Liu Miantang laughed and said that there was a mystery in the glutinous rice balls. Cui Xingzhou mistakenly thought that she was applying medicine again, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a red rope with an unpredictable meaning.There were exchanges of words between the two, and as they looked at each other and prayed for the sky lantern, Liu Miantang's thoughts drifted away, recalling the frightening scene of the King of Huaiyang's night attack in the past.Cui Xingzhou looked at the sleeping Liu Miantang with mixed feelings in his heart, including guilt for past deceptions, confusion and pain about the mystery of his identity.He is determined to enter Beijing, even if it violates the ban, to uncover the mystery of the truth between Tzuyu and Lu Wen.

On the other side, in the uncle's house, an undercurrent banquet was going on.Uncle Guo was furious when he learned the truth that Ziyu was actually the legitimate son of the former crown prince. He felt that he had been deceived by Shi Yikuan and Ziyu together.The appearance of Commander Mo adds more variables. He was originally the person who escorted Tzuyu out of the capital, but now he has become the target of the uncle who wants to get rid of him.However, Ziyu was very resourceful and had already understood everything. He left with Shi Yikuan on an excuse and went to Shili Village to avoid trouble.On the way, Commander Mo failed to intercept, but was ambushed and killed by King Sui.King Sui arrived in Beijing secretly, met with Tzuyu through a secret passage in the former prince's palace, and revealed his true identity.Ziyu and Xiaoqi knelt down in the ancestral hall. Xiaoqi used her keen observation skills to see through the drug intoxication and conspired with her father to find countermeasures.

Shi Yikuan fabricated lies to Empress Dowager Wu to cover up the grudge between Commander Mo and Uncle Guo. He successfully kept himself out of the matter and took the opportunity to recommend candidates for the new commander of the Forbidden Army, further consolidating Empress Dowager Wu's trust.He Zhen left a letter from home and left home resolutely to escape the shackles of her marriage contract with Zhao Quan.

Liu Miantang and Qiu Linxian carefully planned and staged a kidnapping drama in the kiln hall. In fact, they used this as bait to lure King Huaiyang to come.She arrived at Youyu Cave as planned and faced Sun Yun's provocation.Sun Yun used Ziyu's name in an attempt to trick Liu Miantang into escaping with 300,000 taels of gold, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into the other party's trap.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 23 plot introduction

The grievances and hatreds between Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang are like an intricate web, tightly entwining the fate of the two.Liu Miantang threatened with a dagger to reveal the truth about King Sui's visit to Beijing, and even used Tzuyu's identity to advance in the power struggle.Sun Yun's ruthlessness and Lu Zhong's loyalty were fully revealed in this contest, and Liu Miantang's complicated emotions towards Cui Xingzhou gradually became clear in the confrontations.

In the cave, Sun Yun's self-confidence and despair intertwined. She thought that Ziyu would favor her, but she didn't know that Liu Miantang had already understood everything.Liu Miantang's arrow was not only a test for Cui Xingzhou, but also a resolution of past grudges.She stabbed Cui Xingzhou with a hairpin, which seemed ruthless, but in fact it was a complete end to the relationship.Cui Xingzhou endured it silently and put the hairpin on her again, which was not only a farewell to the past, but also his last tenderness to Liu Miantang.

The changes in the capital, the deposed Empress Dowager Wu, and Tzuyu's ascension to the throne all indicate that a new era is coming.But Liu Miantang, this foreign woman, used her wisdom and courage to lurk in the capital, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on King Sui.Although the hairpin on her body is simple and unpretentious, it carries the unspeakable emotional entanglement between her and Cui Xingzhou.

Under the strict guidance of her old grandma, Xiao Qi was in awe of the new emperor's marriage contract, but she could not hide her worries about the future.The meeting between Cui Xingzhou and Ziyu was not only a courtesy between the monarch and his ministers, but also an unresolved grudge between the two.Cui Xingzhou's warning to Ziyu is not only a protection for Liu Miantang, but also a perseverance to his own emotions.

At the banquet in Prince Sui's Mansion, Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou missed each other, which seemed like another trick of fate.King Sui's praise and wooing of Cui Xingzhou made the banquet full of political atmosphere.Cui Xingzhou's sister mentioned various things about the new emperor in the palace. It seemed like casual chat, but in fact it had a deep meaning.Her speculation about Cui Xingzhou's private gift of perfume to Liu Miantang made the family gathering even more ambiguous and tense.

When Cui Xingzhou saw Liu Miantang again in Prince Sui's Mansion, everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.Although she was veiled, Cui Xingzhou recognized her at a glance.The two people's eyes met, and there was no need to say anything, as their feelings for each other were already expressed in words.

《The Willow Boat》Episode 24 plot introduction

At the banquet at Prince Sui's Mansion, Qiu Linxian used his extensive knowledge to introduce the unique charm of Hu jewelry to everyone, which aroused Princess Sui's interest.She instead invited Cui Xingzhou to choose one as a meeting gift, and cleverly arranged for Liu Miantang to come forward to serve her, while Cui Xingzhou tacitly agreed not to reveal Liu Miantang's true identity.

Princess Sui originally intended to set up a matchmaker for Cui Xingzhou and talk about marriage, but her sister declined because Cui Xingzhou already had a relationship in her heart.When the topic changed, the princess asked with concern about the progress of Cui Xingzhou's relationship with the woman, whether she had met her elders and paid a betrothal gift. Her words revealed her concern for Cui Xingzhou's feelings.Liu Miantang was frightened when he heard this, and accidentally dropped his belt, adding to his panic.

Afterwards, Cui Xingzhou learned that Liu Miantang went to the former Prince's Mansion alone, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings and pain.When Liu Miantang stepped into the mansion, the first thing she saw was the huge crabapple tree. The layout of the house was exactly the same as Yangshan in her memory, which evoked deep memories in her.Ziyu suddenly appeared, with some urgency and concern, and prepared multiple heaters for her, trying to find out the true feelings between her and her husband.Liu Miantang responded with lies, but Ziyu saw through it at a glance and said she would not forgive Cui Xingzhou for what he did when she lost her memory.However, Liu Miantang defended Cui Xingzhou, believing that he was saved because of him, and that the past tragedies were also related to Ziyu's connivance and King Sui's ambition.

Ziyu knew full well the purpose of Liu Miantang's trip, and deliberately summoned King Sui into the palace in the name of the Queen Mother, not only to avoid Liu Miantang's assassination, but also to protect her.He confessed his worries and expectations to Liu Miantang, hoping that she could return to him.Liu Miantang took out the 300,000 taels of gold that had been kept for Ziyu, indicating that the property had returned to its original owner.

The next day, Ziyu discussed state affairs with King Sui, Shi Yikuan, and Cui Xingzhou. Cui Xingzhou was absent-minded and left with an excuse.However, Ziyu insisted on staying with him to share the crab roe bibimbap. Cui Xingzhou ignored the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and insisted on returning home.Later, Ziyu ordered the crab roe bibimbap to be delivered to the Qingguo Duke's Mansion, which showed his delicate thoughts.

That night, Ziyu and Liu Miantang met again to discuss the defense of Prince Sui's Mansion.Liu Miantang suggested taking advantage of the spring hunting opportunity to carry out the assassination, but felt it was inappropriate.She was bent on revenge, turned a blind eye to Tzuyu's affection, and left in a hurry.The servant quietly informed Ziyu that Cui Xingzhou did not return home, but went to the jewelry shop.Ziyu came up with a plan and deliberately sent flowers to Liu Miantang in front of the jewelry store.
