The smart and courageous Liu Miantang is the leader of the first village in Yangshan. He leads the people in Yangshan to punish evil, promote good, and uphold justice. However, he is seriously injured under the attack of many evil forces and is rescued by Cui Xingzhou, the king of Huaiyang.After Liu Miantang woke up, he had no memory of Yangshan. He mistook Cui Xingzhou for her husband Cui Jiu, and opened a porcelain shop with his extraordinary courage and intelligence, leading the people in the town to create a porcelain brand, and the business was booming.The imperial court appointed Cui Xingzhou to go to Jinjia Pass. In order not to implicate Liu Miantang, Cui Xingzhou put down a letter of divorce and left. Liu Miantang never left him and followed her husband to support the rear, fight with field soldiers, and suppress bandits. The couple became husband and wife.People should cooperate inside and outside, guard the border, and finally come together truly.But the identity scam was exposed, and their relationship was tested again. After going through hardships, the two were honest with each other.When the situation was difficult, the couple helped the emperor Sun Ziyu eliminate the rebels and stabilize the government, and finally lived a sweet life.

After Liu Miantang lost his memory, only the scene on his wedding day, on the way to Yangshan Mountain, was like a ray of sunshine penetrating the clouds.In the wedding sedan decorated with red and bright colors, she vaguely remembered that in the noisy and festive sounds, a name came to her ears gently but firmly - “Cui Jiu”, that was her husband's name, although the memory is incomplete, it is unforgettable.

With the passage of time, Liu Miantang's life in the mansion gradually became fulfilling and colorful.Not only did she take care of the newly purchased shop in an orderly manner, but she also showed extraordinary business talent, making the shop's business increasingly prosperous.Although Cui Xingzhou remained calm on the surface, he was impressed by Liu Miantang's ability in his heart. At the same time, he did not let down his guard against her at all.

Liu Miantang didn't seem to be aware of the undercurrents around her. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the management of the store. Occasionally, in her spare time, she would plant flowers and plants in the mansion, or chat with her grandmother about daily life. Her life seemedCalm and beautiful.However, every time in the dead of night, she could not help but think of those lost memory fragments, and her heart was filled with longing and confusion about the past.

Cui Xingzhou often secretly observes Liu Miantang's every move outside of official duties, trying to find any possible clues from her behavior.He knew very well that the game between him and Liu Miantang was not only about personal emotions and trust, but also a contest about national security.Therefore, he must remain awake and alert at all times.

One day, a mysterious visitor quietly visited the mansion. This person was Lu Wen's subordinate who Cui Xingzhou had been looking for for many years.He brought a secret letter from Lu Wen, which suggested that Liu Miantang's identity was of great importance and warned Cui Xingzhou not to act rashly.After Cui Xingzhou read the letter, his heart was filled with ups and downs, and he began to re-examine his attitude and strategy towards Liu Miantang.

At the same time, Liu Miantang also noticed something strange.She found that there always seemed to be people peeping around her, which made her feel uneasy and confused.However, she did not show any abnormality, but handled the affairs in the shop and mansion more carefully, while also secretly searching for those lost memory fragments.

In this intricate struggle for emotion and power, the fates of Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou are tightly tied together.They each have their own secrets and purposes, but they are inadvertently attracted to and dependent on each other.And the truth, like the flowers in the mist, is both beautiful and out of reach, waiting for them to uncover it step by step...

Cui Xingzhou's actions undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the town.On the day of the banquet, the house was crowded with guests and the atmosphere was lively. Liu Miantang was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had exquisite makeup. She looked like a fairy descending from the earth. Her beauty and temperament captivated everyone present.Cui Xingzhou stood beside her, with both pride and tenderness in his eyes. He used his actions to declare to everyone that Liu Miantang was not only his wife, but also an indispensable part of his life.

At the banquet, Cui Xingzhou frequently raised glasses and chatted and laughed with the guests, while Liu Miantang won everyone's love and respect with her unique gentleness and intelligence.She skillfully maneuvered among the guests, showing her talent and wisdom without losing her ladylike demeanor.At this moment, it seemed that she was no longer the woman who bravely defended herself in the market, but had truly become Cui Xingzhou's virtuous wife, standing side by side with him, facing the wind and rain together.

However, behind this seemingly harmonious situation, both Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang knew that this banquet was not only to clear their names, but also to draw out the enemy hidden in the dark - Lu Wen.They all know that Lu Wen will not give up his obsession with Liu Miantang easily. This banquet is undoubtedly an excellent bait that can attract Lu Wen to show his flaws.

As night fell and the banquet dispersed, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang returned to the room. They looked at each other and smiled. No need to say anything, their feelings for each other were clear.Cui Xingzhou gently held Liu Miantang's hand and said softly: No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side to protect you and support you.% Liu Miantang's eyes were slightly moist, and she felt unprecedented peace of mind and happiness.

In the days that followed, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang worked more closely. While they were running the store, they secretly paid attention to Lu Wen's movements.As time went by, Liu Miantang gradually discovered that she had developed feelings for this nominal husband that went beyond gratitude and dependence.She began to look forward to every day and night she spent with him, enjoying the warmth and care he gave her.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, Lu Wen finally couldn't hold himself back and revealed his true face.But this time, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang were already prepared. They teamed up to subdue Lu Wen and completely eliminate this threat.Afterwards, Cui Xingzhou hugged Liu Miantang tightly. Both of them understood that this victory was not only a victory over Lu Wen, but also a testimony of their love.

With the sound of the piano and conversations late at night, Liu Miantang's longing for Cui Xingzhou was fully revealed, and Cui Xingzhou's careful layout was quietly unfolded.He used the chess club as a cover to not only win Liu Miantang's trust, but also cleverly planted an informant to prepare for the next plan.

On the day of the banquet, Liu Miantang's sincere prayers were in sharp contrast to Cui Xingzhou's flamboyant banquet, but they also attracted many eyes, including Lu Wen's eyeliner.A seemingly ordinary banquet turned out to be an undercurrent. Cui Xingzhou deliberately let Liu Miantang face possible dangers alone as a test and bait.

However, the real mastermind behind the scenes was not Lu Wen, but Sun Yuniang, his attendant who had a crush on him.But Liu Miantang's amnesia made her an innocent outsider, and Sun Yunniang's assassination plan was shelved.This twist not only makes the story more complicated and confusing, but also shows the complexity and contradictions in human nature.

After returning to the bedroom, Liu Miantang's witty response once again demonstrated her bravery and wisdom.Cui Xingzhou's misunderstanding and the appearance of his disciples added a bit of comedy to this tense plot.Although the two were injured due to misunderstanding, Liu Miantang's thoughtfulness and care made their relationship deeper.

In the night conversation, Cui Xingzhou's rejection and Liu Miantang's misunderstanding once again promoted the development of the story.Zhao Quan's perfunctory answer even led Liu Miantang to mistakenly believe that Cui Xingzhou had physical troubles, which triggered a series of heartwarming and funny “treatment” actions.This series of misunderstandings not only makes the story full of laughter, but also shows Liu Miantang's deep love and persistence for Cui Xingzhou.

In the end, when Cui Xingzhou learned the truth about his % illness, his anger and helplessness made people laugh.This story continues to advance through misunderstandings and understandings, showing the deep emotional bonds and complex psychological changes between the characters.The love between Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou has become more firm and precious in this series of twists and turns.

Cui Xingzhou's daily life seems to be immersed in the study of chess, but in fact he is very thoughtful and always pays attention to Liu Miantang's movements.When he learned the secret code left by Lu Wen, he thought that a conspiracy was about to be unveiled. Unexpectedly, this series of tracking and planning eventually led to an unexpected truth - the meeting between Liu Miantang and Zhao Quan.It turned out to be for the combination of art and business, not the complicated entanglement he imagined.

Liu Miantang's pursuit of beauty and respect for skills made Cui Xingzhou admire him even though he was embarrassed.He realized that his misunderstanding and defensiveness against Liu Miantang might be due to his inner insecurity and over-interpretation of the unknown.Liu Miantang's integration of code patterns into porcelain designs demonstrated her unique creativity and indifferent attitude towards the past, which surprised and delighted Cui Xingzhou.

Although the opening of the porcelain shop encountered the dilemma of poor sales, Liu Miantang's persistence and talent were finally appreciated by the nobles. The set of porcelain that was fully bought was not only an affirmation of her art, but also a tacit understanding between the two.Witnesses of understanding.Although Cui Xingzhou expressed his care in a special way, Liu Miantang's straightforwardness and honesty made him reflect deeply and promise not to deceive in exchange for short-term peace.

At his mother-in-law's birthday party, Cui Xingzhou showed extraordinary magnanimity and wisdom in the face of Shi Yikuan's provocation.By using the national defense map, he not only skillfully resolved the pressure to reduce military power, but also declared his determination to benefit the people and uphold his duties.This scene not only won the respect of the guests present, but also made Shi Yikuan unable to refute. He could only stay on the grounds of supervising the construction of the dam. In fact, it was recognition and helplessness of Cui Xingzhou's ability.

As for his cousin Shi Xueji's tender affection, Cui Xingzhou was well aware of it, but found it difficult to respond.This marriage contract is more like a responsibility and bondage to him than an emotional destination.He knows that the only person he cares about is Liu Miantang. Even if there are many disturbances and expectations from the outside world, he will stick to his inner choice and face the storms of the future together with Liu Miantang.

When Cui returned from the boat banquet, he was unhappy. Liu Miantang treated him gently, undressing and undressing him carefully, and softly encouraged him to drink less outside wine, so that the fine wine at home would be more mellow, and promised him to share leisure time when the porcelain business prospered in the future.These words were like spring breeze and rain, touching Cui Xingzhou's deep heartstrings.

In the dead of night, Cui Xingzhou dreamed back to the time when he first met Liu Miantang. Her life was hanging by a thread, her blood was stained, the tragedy was vivid, and the mystery in her heart remained unsolved.When Liu Miantang saw her husband drowning his sorrows in wine, he became worried and determined to help the family business.She visited the market and discovered the secret of the official kiln name, so she came up with a plan.

Liu Miantang asked He Zhen for advice about the Chamber of Commerce. Although the woman was declined to join the chamber, she did not give up.After returning home, he discussed with Cui Xingzhou, but was dissuaded. He was unwilling to do so and vowed to prove his ability.Cui Xingzhou left unhappy, leaving Liu Miantang to plan alone.

The chief rudder of the Chamber of Commerce turned to Cui Xingzhou for help due to heavy taxes. Cui Xingzhou followed the trend and promised to deal with him, and at the same time offered to participate in the Chamber of Commerce's worship.Liu Miantang was desperate and went to the Chamber of Commerce in person the next day. Faced with ridicule and difficulties, she made a clever plan and took advantage of Shi Yikuan's opportunity to inspect the river. She cleverly sent her own porcelain to the palace on the pretext of releasing koi carp, gaining an advantage.

Liu Miantang was filled with joy and wanted to report the good news to Cui Xingzhou, but unexpectedly she didn't see him and she didn't know her husband's true identity.When she excitedly announced her good results to the Chamber of Commerce, she was met with a joking response, and she was filled with anger.When Cui Xingzhou returned home, he scolded him for not being a woman. Liu Miantang reprimanded him for not wanting to make progress, and the two reached a deadlock again.

After the meal, Liu Miantang was slightly disturbed by the incident of frying rice with too much oil. She asked about the fried rice with crab roe to test Cui Xingzhou's feelings. Unexpectedly, she received a cold response and left the table sadly.As night fell, she mustered up the courage to confess her true feelings to Cui Xingzhou on the bed, saying that she had been reluctant to marry in the past. Although she was grateful for his deep affection, she still had a hard knot in her heart and was willing to choose between divorce or maintaining the status quo.The two of them stayed silent all night and slept in separate rooms.

On the other side, the chief rudder of the Chamber of Commerce visited the palace with his beloved daughter He Zhen. When He Zhen saw Cui Xingzhou, the scene of the hero saving the beauty in the past was vivid in his mind, and ripples in his heart arose again.Cui Xingzhou took advantage of his power to cleverly arrange transportation matters for the Chamber of Commerce, using tax cuts as a inducement, and the chief helmsman agreed.Liu Miantang learned of this news and made a smart plan to buy the only way for the Chamber of Commerce to pass by, forcing the Chamber of Commerce to accept him as a member.

Cui Xingzhou cared about Liu Miantang, and when he heard the news of his illness, he returned home urgently, but unexpectedly saw that he was pretending to be ill and was planning for the Chamber of Commerce.When she first joined the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Miantang encountered contempt, and the gifts given by her family members turned out to be a laughing stock. She was puzzled, so she returned home to investigate and found that Cui Xingzhou had secretly purchased many treasures, and her doubts gradually dissipated.In order to find out the truth, she followed her quietly, but Cui Xingzhou understood her intention and cleverly arranged to go to the chess court to create an illusion, making Liu Miantang mistakenly think that he relied on flattery for a living.

The misunderstanding was resolved, Liu Miantang advised Cui Xingzhou with heartfelt words not to forget his original intention, to stay away from the secular world, and promised that he would not need to worry about family matters.Cui Xingzhou accepted the teachings sincerely, and the two of them were relieved. That night, Liu Miantang took the initiative to move the bedding to the study, slept together on the bed, and reconciled.

Liu Miantang's dream of firing unique porcelain was finally realized through her unremitting efforts.Full of joy, she immediately took this precious work to the Chamber of Commerce, hoping to be recognized.However, fate seemed to have played a joke. He Erlang from the Chamber of Commerce refused her visit on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Liu Miantang, who was full of disappointment, encountered groundless accusations on her way home.Someone falsely accused Cui Xingzhou of her, claiming that she intended to interfere with the order of tribute payments by the Chamber of Commerce, and even exerted pressure.Cui Xingzhou, who was well aware of Liu Miantang's innocence, angrily refuted these untrue words and ordered the impeachers to find out the truth before coming back.

Unwilling to be aggrieved, Liu Miantang decided to clarify everything to the King of Huaiyang in person, and she begged Cui Xingzhou to help arrange a meeting.Although Cui Xingzhou had concerns and was worried that his fake identity would be exposed, he finally compromised and made clever arrangements to allow Liu Miantang to get close to the Huaiyang Palace.However, after arriving at the palace, they found many merchants gathered in front of the palace, demanding Liu Miantang be punished.Faced with this situation, Liu Miantang chose to retreat temporarily and resorted to a wise strategy.

She used her wisdom and connections to gradually win the support of key figures by giving away famous paintings, successfully disrupted the unity within the chamber of commerce, and won herself the qualification to enter the chamber of commerce.When she stepped into the Chamber of Commerce again with her proud work, she not only won the admiration of everyone, but also gained the recognition of He Zhen and others.And He Erlang, after being punished by his father and being taught a lesson by Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou, could only leave in despair.

Despite his successful career, Liu Miantang also thanked Cui Xingzhou for his help and personally prepared a crab roe feast for him.This affection not only allowed Cui Xingzhou to taste the delicious food, but also made him feel Liu Miantang's sincere treatment.

Liu Miantang's appreciation for Cui Xingzhou has deepened recently. After learning about his hidden medical condition, she even put more effort into dressing up and striving to improve herself both internally and externally.The night the two slept together, she carefully prepared a set of sultry pajamas. Her skin was like snow, and she looked even more elegant against the delicate fabric.She took the initiative to show off this “secret beauty”, which made Cui Xingzhou feel disturbed, but he resisted the impulse and quietly left the room with a lot of thoughts.

At the same time, Cui Xingzhou learned that his old enemy Ziyu was missing, was hiding in Qingzhou, and had close contacts with the powerful minister Shi Yikuan.With the fire of revenge burning, he decided to use Liu Miantang as bait to lay a dragnet.Therefore, he proposed to take Liu Miantang and his party to Qingzhou. On the surface, it was a trip, but in fact, it was a secret. He wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Shi Yikuan and expand the porcelain trade route.

Liu Miantang knew nothing about Cui Xingzhou's plan and only thought about the future of the porcelain workshop.She took a few treasures with her and embarked on a journey to Qingzhou with great expectations.Cui Xingzhou secretly arranged for Liu Miantang to go first while he observed the movement in the dark.As expected, Liu Miantang attracted Ziyu's attention as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou.

In an antique shop, Liu Miantang fell in love with an exquisite chessboard at first sight, but regretfully gave up because the price was high and it was already reserved.As everyone knows, all this is Tzuyu's careful arrangement.He quietly canceled the reservation just to meet Liu Miantang again.Upon seeing this, Cui Xingzhou knew that Ziyu had taken the bait, so he deliberately took Liu Miantang around the market to attract Ziyu to show up.

Finally, in a chance encounter, Cui Xingzhou and Tzuyu confront each other.Liu Miantang felt inexplicably familiar and kind to Ziyu, but he could not remember the past.When the two were playing chess, Liu Miantang's chess skills coincided with Ziyu's, which gave her a splitting headache, and the door to memory seemed about to open.Cui Xingzhou took the opportunity to win and left with Liu Miantang, but he was full of doubts about the relationship between Liu Miantang and Ziyu.

On the way home, Cui Xingzhou secretly sent someone to explore Liu Miantang's memory clues, and Liu Miantang also eagerly asked her mother to confirm her past with Ziyu.In order to find out what he was talking about, Mammy deliberately made up a lie, saying that Ziyu was Liu Miantang's former lover.Liu Miantang was confused after hearing this, but Cui Xingzhou comforted her in time, saying that the two had no real relationship, which made her feel a little relieved.

As the knot between Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou was resolved, in the tranquility of the night, their conversation was full of warmth and longing.Liu Miantang planned the future lightly, dreaming that after the Jade-fired Porcelain Shop was on the right track, she could hire a shopkeeper to take care of the business, and she and Cui Xingzhou could travel around the world hand in hand, or give birth to a new life, and enjoy the tranquility of an ordinary couple.Life.Her eyes sparkled with infinite yearning for the future, and although Cui Xingzhou responded on the surface, he still worried about the important task of hunting down Tzuyu in his heart.

In the dead of night, Cui Xingzhou quietly left the table and walked into the secret room, where the shadow guards were ready and knew Tzuyu's whereabouts.The next day, a well-planned roundup was launched, but unexpectedly Shi Yikuan came with an edict, announcing that Tzuyu had surrendered. All efforts seemed to be in vain.Although Cui Xingzhou felt unwilling, he was also aware of the subtle changes in the situation.Ziyu's words that "a soldier never tires of deceit" made him even more speculative about the conspiracy behind it.

Faced with Ziyu's hint and his mother's plea, Cui Xingzhou struggled internally.He is well aware of Liu Miantang's past sufferings and does not want her to be involved in right and wrong again.As a result, he began to secretly pave the way for Liu Miantang's future. Not only did he reject the marriage recommended by his grandmother, he also personally screened the marriages, striving to find a true love for her who could be entrusted with her life.However, every time in the dead of night, he would always think of Liu Miantang's smile, and the reluctance and concern in his heart were indescribable.

At the same time, Shi Yikuan's conspiracy failed, and the Queen Mother's decree gave Cui Xingzhou a temporary respite.He used this time to plan more actively for Liu Miantang's future, and even considered sending her to a safe maternal home to keep her safe.Although Mammy's suggestion silenced him, it also touched the softest part of his heart.

As night fell, Cui Xingzhou sat alone in his dormitory, thinking over and over again about his indiscreet actions during the day, and a feeling of regret quietly grew.He realized that Liu Miantang was not a disposable object. How could her life and emotions be squandered so easily?Mammy's suggestion was like a wake-up call, forcing him to re-examine his decision. However, the balance in his heart was still wavering and he was unable to give a final answer.

Returning to that quiet space, Liu Miantang was looking into the mirror and arranging her hair. The tranquility and beauty made Cui Xingzhou's heart ripple.He took the comb and ran it through her hair gently, as if silently expressing his apology and cherishment.During the conversation, he weaved a lie about the dream to cover up his inner struggle, while testing Liu Miantang's vision for the future.Liu Miantang's answer was simple and sincere. Her world seemed to be complete with only Cui Xingzhou and the Jade Shao Porcelain Workshop. This satisfaction made Cui Xingzhou's heart heavier and made him determined not to let her life be determined by his own.Hesitant and dusty.

A plate with a dragonfly painted on it became a medium for emotional communication between the two.Cui Xingzhou composed a poem impromptu, and the lines revealed his yearning for and cherishing this peaceful life.Liu Miantang's appreciation was not only a love for the plate, but also recognition of Cui Xingzhou's talent. This tacit understanding made Cui Xingzhou's heart finally tilt towards the side that kept her.

However, the turmoil outside did not stop their inner peace.News of the Huaiyang King's wedding spread like the wind, and Zhao Quan's dissuasion was like pouring cold water on Cui Xingzhou, trying to wake up Cui Xingzhou, but he had made up his mind not to be moved by the outside world.On the other side, He Zhen's thoughts were withering like autumn leaves, and her infatuated love for the King of Huaiyang became an unbearable burden for her.Although Liu Miantang's gentle comfort failed to completely heal her heartache, it also made the friendship between them deeper.

The appearance of Lian Binlan added another layer to this complex network of relationships.Her calculations and planning made He Zhen's fate seem to have turned around, but it quickly fell into an even deeper valley.Although Cui Xingzhou's intervention prevented Lian Binlan from further actions, it also indirectly caused He Zhen's condition to worsen.Liu Miantang's worry and care are like a ray of sunshine in winter, trying to warm He Zhen's cold heart, but the real healing may still take time to flow slowly.

In his spare time, Cui Xingzhou always likes to walk around the market with Liu Miantang and enjoy a moment of tranquility.Liu Miantang secretly marveled in his heart. After returning from Qingzhou, Cui Xingzhou seemed to have been completely transformed. He was not only diligent in his work, but also caring about her. He also did everything in the shop himself, and his temperament became more gentle and delicate.Just as the two were walking hand in hand, a rugged man suddenly appeared, calling Liu Miantang "Mrs." and calling himself "Cui Jiu%". He held a marriage certificate and spoke categorically.Liu Miantang was stunned, while Cui Xingzhou watched indifferently.Faced with doubts, the fake Cui Jiuliang issued a marriage certificate, claiming the official seal as proof, and asked Cui Xingzhou to confront him.Liu Miantang was suspicious. The place mentioned in the marriage certificate did not match the description of the person in front of him, so he proposed to go to the government to verify the authenticity.Traveling to a remote place, Liu Miantang cleverly used a hairpin to resolve the crisis. Cui Xingzhou cooperated tacitly and jointly subdued the fake Cui Jiu.

At this time, Sun Yun'er peeped in the dark. She forged the marriage certificate and hired thugs to test whether Liu Miantang really had amnesia.Facing Liu Miantang's questioning, Sun Yun'er couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes, and old grudges came to mind.Although Liu Miantang lost his memory, he still remembered Sun Yun'er's hostility and asked about his purpose.Sun Yun'er wanted to kill Liu Miantang, but fortunately Cui Xingzhou's shadow guard arrived in time and subdued everyone.Cui Xingzhou sent Sun Yun'er and others to the government in the name of righteous people.

The next day, Cui Xingzhou personally interrogated Sun Yun'er and revealed her entanglement with Lu Wen and Liu Miantang.At the critical moment, Gongsun Yan appeared and intervened in the name of the court, forcing Cui Xingzhou to release him.Liu Miantang was disturbed because of the fake marriage certificate, and searched her home to no avail. Her grandmother lied and claimed that the marriage certificate was lost. Liu Miantang was frightened when she saw her, so she stopped questioning her.

Cui Xingzhou needed to return to the palace to prepare for the wedding of King Huaiyang, so he took a leave of absence from Liu Miantang on the pretext of learning chess and promised to return soon.Although Liu Miantang felt disappointed, he also understood the difficulty.

Liu Miantang personally packed the luggage for her husband Cui Xingzhou. From the fine gold and silver to the clothing for the changing seasons, everything was carefully selected and meticulous.The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, reluctant to leave. Liu Miantang gently comforted Cui Xingzhou to return from his studies as soon as possible, while she would stay at home and guard the shop, waiting for his return.Cui Xingzhou was full of reluctance and worried that she would be alone, so he suggested that she go back to her parents' home to visit to relieve her loneliness.However, the moment of separation will eventually come, and the two are still inseparable.Cui Xingzhou knew that this trip might be a permanent farewell, because he was about to get married and could no longer live up to Liu Miantang's deep affection.

At this time, He Zhen happened to pass by Liu Miantang's house. She wanted to share her feelings of relief, but accidentally witnessed Liu Miantang bidding farewell to Cui Xingzhou.He Zhen, who recognized Cui Xingzhou as the King of Huaiyang, suddenly felt jealous and resentful, feeling that she had been deceived by Liu Miantang's long-standing concealment.

In the palace, the prospective in-laws are busy preparing for Cui Xingzhou's wedding, but he is miserable inside. He has no love for his cousin, but he has to marry her. Facing the long years ahead, Cui Xingzhou feels even heavier.Everyone saw his melancholy expression and mistakenly thought he was missing his fiancée.

On the other side, Shi Xueji met Lu Wen by chance. Lu Wen saw that all his shopping was for his family, and he didn't take any of the money. 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 the preparations for the wedding, the uncle and the Queen Mother arrived unexpectedly, appointed Cui Xingzhou as a general, and ordered him 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 returned in time. The two had dinner together in the afternoon, talking to each other and temporarily relieved the pain of separation.

With Liu Miantang's gentle company, Cui Xingzhou tasted the sweetness of ordinary life for the first time, and he realized that the feeling of being deeply missed by someone was so warm.He walked far to the south bank and made a vision to Liu Miantang. 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 by 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 so easily.

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.

Mr. He was originally worried that the marriage between the Marquis and his daughter would be opposed by the Dowager, 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. Unexpectedly, He Zhen was smart and understood her father's wishes, so she refused.Mr. He has made up his mind and cannot allow any further explanation.The battle on the front line was urgent, and the family members of the soldiers wanted to join the army, but Cui Xingzhou tried to stop them, while Liu Miantang comforted everyone and stayed at the rear to provide support to calm the morale of the army.

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.Duke He 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's hearts 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 remained unchanged, 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.

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 invitations to teach, Shi Xueji's sincerity and curiosity still made him fond of him.

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.

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 from scratch if he had to take apart the embroidery and re-embroider it.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, she was not present because bandits were involved in the Taoist temple.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 did not 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 was treacherous. 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 King 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.

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 still be 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 Mrs. Zhao 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 and secretly helped Yinliang.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, the painter painted the murderer's portrait, Cui Xingzhou and others explored the forest cabin and found the mezzanine, the secret code of the escort agency reappeared, and the suspicion was thick.

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 unfolded.

Cui Xingzhou pursued Qiu Linxian's whereabouts and was convinced that he would not return to the Hong Kong Coliseum, so he stepped up surveillance of the Physiography Pavilion.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 Tzuyu 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, but Mr. Cao was eventually 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.

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, Concubine Chu immediately proposed to renew the marriage contract between the two families, but Cui Xingzhou responded calmly and asked her cousin to go home now that they had met.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.

Mr. He's ardent expectations for He Zhen made her feel unprecedentedly disappointed.She had tried her best not only to manage the family business, but also to win her father's approval. 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 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 past events in Yangshan, Cui Xingzhou revealed the truth about the traitorous traitor of the past, 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.

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 late 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 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 back on her, 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, a 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 to protect Liu Miantang, but also to stick to his own emotions.

At the banquet in Prince Sui's Mansion, Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou missed each other, which seemed to be 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 be back to where it started.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.

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's sudden appearance showed a bit of urgency and concern, and he 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 the purpose of Liu Miantang's trip and deliberately summoned King Sui to the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager, 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 Ziyu's deep love, 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. This scene happened to be bumped into by Cui Xingzhou in the distance, and he felt extremely sad.

The two of them got hairpins, Ziyu put them on Liu Miantang with her own hands, and then she was attracted by the chess game in the chess hall.Cui Xingzhou couldn't hold himself back and joined the game. He wanted to win, but because of Liu Miantang's secret help, Tzuyu won the game.Cui Xingzhou questioned Liu Miantang's identity and position, but Liu Miantang responded coldly, and the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point.Cui Xingzhou left angrily, locked himself in his room, and wrote to calm his inner turmoil.

The Empress Dowager's body was getting weaker and weaker. She looked forward to Ziyu's early marriage to Lady Shi, and suggested that Lady Shi move into Chonghua Palace in advance.Ziyu knew that this matter was not trivial and involved the position of queen, so she decided to wait until spring hunting before making a decision.At the same time, the Empress Dowager proposed to marry Princess Wuhua, and she favored King Huaiyang, thinking that he and Wuhua were of similar age and had the same temperament.Tzuyu did not object this time, but suggested to let nature take its course and see how the fate of Wuhua and Cui Xingzhou was.

Shi Niangzi knew that Ziyu didn't have her own heart, so she took the initiative to open her heart to him, and admitted that the engagement between the two was nothing more than mutual use.Tzuyu was moved by her frankness and decided to take her with her on a spring hunt to let her see the outside world.After Sun Yun returned to Beijing, she pretended that her injury had not healed, and secretly planned how to control Liu Miantang's fate after becoming the queen.

On the day of spring hunting, the Empress Dowager took out a precious jade pendant as a lucky charm. Princess Wuhua was also heroic and not to be outdone.The Queen Mother specifically told Cui Xingzhou to take good care of the safety of Princess Wuhua.

Cui Xingzhou arranged in private to keep a close eye on Liu Miantang's whereabouts, especially during spring hunting. He had a premonition that she would take action, so he secretly set up a protective net.Liu Miantang quietly sneaked into the Spring Hunting Forest, took advantage of King Sui's unpreparedness, and shot an arrow. Although it missed the vital point, it was enough to cause chaos.She was about to shoot another arrow, but Lu Wen appeared in time, stopped her impulse, analyzed the situation rationally, and led her out of danger.Cui Xingzhou intercepted the pursuers at the right time, buying valuable time for Lu Wen and Liu Miantang.

Faced with King Sui's anger and arrest order, Cui Xingzhou took his time and skillfully blamed himself for Liu Miantang's arrow. At the same time, he used the secret of King Sui's private mining of iron ore as a bargaining chip, forcing King Sui to swallow his bad breath.Choose to be patient.Lu Wenze placed Liu Miantang next to Shi Xueji, not only to protect her, but also to trust Shi Xueji's ability.When Shi Xueji first met Liu Miantang, she was attracted by his temperament. Liu Miantang was also aware of Shi Xueji's intelligence and his love for Lu Wen. She used words to test and express her yearning for sincere emotions.

After the spring hunting, Lu Wen and Liu Miantang climbed to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise and talk about the future.Liu Miantang bluntly stated that the purpose of this trip was revenge. He knew that the road ahead was difficult and did not want to drag Lu Wen down.Although Lu Wen was reluctant to give up, he respected her decision and promised to give her full support.Liu Miantang left the capital with his companions. Cui Xingzhou watched him go away with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he would never see him again, but he became more determined in his mission - to go to the border and persuade King Sui's old troops to submit to the imperial court.

After Lu Wen thought deeply under the crabapple tree in the Prince's Mansion, he made a far-reaching decision - to marry Shi Xueji as his queen, in order to consolidate his alliance with Shi Yikuan of the Ministry of War and stabilize the imperial power.Although Shi Xueji knew that this marriage was not out of love, she also understood her responsibilities and mission. On the wedding night, she couldn't help but ask Lu Wen for confirmation, but what she got was a calm analysis of interests and power.That night, Lu Wen left alone on the pretext of correcting the memorial, leaving Shi Xueji alone to face this cold palace marriage.

Cui Xingzhou arrived in the northwest and dealt with King Sui's old troops.These old foxes appear neutral on the surface, but in fact they have their own agendas.Cui Xingzhou was well aware of the complexity and adopted a hard-to-get strategy. On the surface, he agreed with their decision, but in fact, he secretly planned to disintegrate their alliance step by step and pave the way for the unification of the imperial court.

In Youzhou, when night fell, the prince of Youzhou specially arranged for a stunning beauty to be sent to his room in order to entertain Cui Xingzhou.Cui Xingzhou knew the profound meaning of this, but he was not moved by the beauty, and he was afraid of hurting the prince's face by refusing directly, so he cleverly asked the woman to spend a long night with Lin Tie as his companion.The next day, the woman tearfully complained to the prince. After hearing the poem, the prince secretly marveled at Cui Xingzhou's profundity and extraordinaryness.

At the same time, in the imperial city, Shi Yikuan's wife frequently went in and out of the Queen's palace, criticizing Queen Shi Xueji's daily life, and even interfered with the color of her favorite azaleas, in an attempt to use family power to influence the Queen's choices.She constantly inculcated the concept of family interests first, reminded Shi Xueji to use her position as queen to seek more benefits for the Shi family, and was full of hostility towards the new concubine Sun Yun'er, warning Shi Xueji to always be vigilant and not to let the concubine forget her roots.These words were like a heavy stone weighing on Shi Xueji's heart, making her feel unprecedented depression and helplessness behind the honor of being the queen.

On the other side, Cui Xingzhou continued to lobby the prince to submit to the new emperor in Youzhou, so as to end the separatist state as soon as possible in exchange for the recognition and rewards of the court.He was well aware of the prince's concerns and offered to stay as a hostage to show his sincerity and dispel the prince's doubts.The prince of Youzhou was moved by his sincerity and finally agreed to prepare for the face-to-face ceremony and move towards the road of peaceful reunification.

In Liu Miantang's mother's house, a drama about family, power and family affection is taking place.Liu Miantang's return makes the already undercurrent of the family even more turbulent.Although her grandfather severely punished his son for failing to live up to expectations and his uncle for indulging her, he still loved Liu Miantang.However, the second aunt's meanness and Qingying's arrogance greatly reduced the warmth of returning home.They were wary of Liu Miantang's return, fearing that she would take away the family property.

The blind date scene in the mansion was even more ridiculous. The blind date originally arranged for Qingying was inadvertently taken away by Liu Miantang.The man fell in love with Liu Miantang at first sight and even asked her about her marriage status, which embarrassed her aunt.During dinner, my grandfather mentioned the matter of negotiating a marriage for Liu Miantang, and my aunt took the opportunity to shirk the matter and tried to get over it by preparing two betrothal gifts at the same time.Liu Miantang stated calmly that he had no intention of getting married. His grandfather's persistence was in sharp contrast to his aunt's embarrassment.

In his spare time, Cui Xingzhou was particularly concerned about Liu Miantang's current situation. He not only asked his subordinates to pay close attention to her whereabouts, but also took care of her life in detail.Knowing that Liu Miantang was thinking about Wujiang vinegar, a specialty of Qingzhou, he personally ordered his servants to search everywhere, and even personally conveyed his thoughts to the cooking mother-in-law who took care of Liu Miantang.

When Liu Miantang saw the familiar Wujiang vinegar, he suddenly had doubts in his heart. How could there be Qingzhou specialties in this remote place?So she made a clever plan and used roasted goose as bait the next day to test the person behind it.As expected, Cui Xingzhou fell into the trap and did not hesitate to use his connections to borrow the precious black-maned goose from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, just to make Liu Miantang smile.During dinner, everyone was full of praise for the goose meat, but Liu Miantang learned from the mother-in-law who cooked the rice that the price of goose meat was far from worth it, which made her even more aware.

The next day, Liu Miantang personally investigated and easily saw through Cui Xingzhou's arrangement. Not only did he make up the price difference, but he also sent a message through the shadow guard, clearly stating that the two had nothing to do with each other and hoped that he would not get involved anymore.In private, she quietly used her savings to buy the escort agency that was about to be sold by her grandfather. This not only solved her aunt's urgent need, but also demonstrated her determination and wisdom.

On the day when the Escort Bureau was in full swing, Cui Xingzhou showed up uninvited. Liu Miantang tried to get him to retreat in the face of difficulties by pretending to be his husband.However, Cui Xingzhou did not give up easily, but instead became more determined.After he confirmed the truth about “husband” through investigation, he even took advantage of it and went directly to the door to ask for an escort, using himself as an escort to get closer to Liu Miantang.

During the escort trip, Cui Xingzhou returned to his old ways and went to the market with Liu Miantang to relive his old dreams.He tried to use candied haws and other small things to bring back the sweetness of the past, but was coldly rejected by Liu Miantang.While riding horses in the countryside, Cui Xingzhou expressed his feelings directly and asked Liu Miantang if he was willing to get back together.Liu Miantang's behavior of crossing the line hints at the unbridgeable gap between the two, which is not only due to their different identities, but also their different personalities and pursuits.

Cui Xingzhou's persistence and bravery also aroused the vigilance and anger of Beizhou Prince.He was worried that Cui Xingzhou's cross-border behavior would cause unnecessary trouble, so he was banned from the palace.However, during the period of confinement, Cui Xingzhou not only did not restrain himself, but even more boldly disclosed his past with Liu Miantang, and even called Liu Miantang "Qingzhou's little wife%" in front of the prince of Beizhou. This deep affection and uninhibitedness made himThe prince of Beizhou was shocked and suspicious, but there was nothing he could do.

In the whirlpool of power, Ziyu's feelings for Liu Miantang are like a breeze in spring. Although they are gentle, they cannot withstand the invasion of the surrounding storm.Faced with Yun Niang's conspiracy, he chose silence. This move was like a sharp blade, severing Liu Miantang's last attachment to Yangshan, prompting her to leave resolutely.

Entering the Prince's Mansion, Liu Miantang came across the crabapple that was no different from Yangshan's memory. The flowers were gorgeous and the fragrance was astonishing, as if he had crossed the boundaries of time and space.The interior furnishings were the same as before, warm and familiar, but they could not hide the chill in Ziyu's heart.He asked about her current situation, but in fact he was exploring the past between her and Cui Xingzhou that he could not touch.Liu Miantang responded indifferently, causing ripples in Ziyu's heart.

On the occasion of spring hunting, Ziyu and Liu Miantang went to the top of the mountain together. When the morning light first broke, he tried softly, eager to be the reason for her return.There was determination hidden in Liu Miantang's smile, and she bluntly said that this trip was only for revenge. Although the road ahead was difficult, she would not back down.Ziyu promised to protect him, but in exchange for her letting him go, she knew that he had a Machiavellian bent and it was difficult for him to have an affair.In the end, Liu Miantang and his relatives and friends embarked on the road to leave Beijing, leaving Ziyu alone, holding Begonia tightly in his hand, with a lot of thoughts.

Cui Xingzhou's delay in returning after receiving the emperor's order made the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty worried, fearing that he would be suspected.He implored Cui Xingzhou to return to the capital quickly to avoid misunderstanding.However, Cui Xingzhou was in pain, knowing that he would have to marry Princess Wuhua as soon as he returned. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly encountered the young prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who was in danger on horseback. Cui Xingzhou risked his life to rescue him and was seriously injured in his leg.The prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty urgently summoned Zhao Quan, the imperial physician. Zhao Quan took the opportunity to exaggerate the severity of his injuries, saying that his walking and childbirth had been severely damaged. After hearing the news, the palace envoy had no choice but to give up and allow him to recuperate.

Cui Xingzhou was concerned about Liu Miantang and asked Zhao Quan to deliver the message, hoping that he would be waiting for him.Zhao Quan found Liu Miantang. Although he was worried about his injury, Liu Miantang put the overall situation first and refused to see Cui Xingzhou to prevent him from committing injustice.When talking about He Zhen, Zhao Quan felt concerned, Liu Miantang smiled and pointed the direction, and prepared dry food to help.Zhao Quan went as promised, and after going through hardships, he finally met He Zhen, and the misunderstanding was resolved.

At this time, Liu Miantang's marriage was in trouble again. A man with a bad record in the past actually wanted to marry him. His family background suddenly changed, and he paid off huge debts and added farmland. Liu Miantang was filled with suspicions and felt something was fishy.Grandpa agreed to the marriage without noticing.Cui Xingzhou was anxious after hearing the news and secretly investigated. He happened to be chased by King Sui, but fortunately he was rescued in time.Although Liu Miantang has a cold face and a warm heart, Cui Xingzhou is also relieved to see a beautiful woman.

Shi Yikuan, who proclaimed himself the head of the state, became increasingly arrogant and arrogant. He even sent a memorial asking him to visit the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The emperor was very annoyed and intended to use his arrogance to control King Sui, but he did not refuse.Shi Xueji returned home to Ningxia and gave gifts to the sisters. However, the eldest sister remained unruly and Shi Xueji couldn't bear it.Shi Yikuan asked about the letter and the Ancestral Temple. Shi Xueji tried to persuade him with reason, but was slapped by his father, and the family relationship was shattered.

When Lu Wen learned that Shi Xueji had returned from self-examination, he made a special trip to visit her. She happened to be cleaning dates while laughing and chatting with the palace maids. Her innocence and optimism seemed to dispel all the gloom.After Lu Wen took the crystal dates from her and tasted them, the topic naturally turned to her trip home.Shi Xueji used jujube as a metaphor, saying with a smile that jujube is even sweeter after being frosted, implying that Lu Wen should face pressure without losing himself, just in moderation.Her wisdom and thoughtfulness made Lu Wen deeply gratified and convinced that her presence in the harem would not disrupt the government, but would be a stabilizing force.As for why she didn't convey her father's orders, Shi Xueji had a clear mind and knew that fully assisting Lu Wenfang was the right path, and she was willing to become his solid backing.

On the other side, in the deep night, a wisp of unknown smoke quietly invaded Cui Xingzhou's study, the attendants fainted, and the books were scattered.At the moment of crisis, Liu Miantang broke in through the window, saved him from danger, and carefully treated his leg injury. The diary on the table caught her eye, and a different story was revealed between the lines.After the bandaging was completed, Liu Miantang wanted to leave, but Cui Xingzhou gently persuaded him to stay, expressing his feelings and wishing to grow old together.Although Liu Miantang was moved, he remained reserved and did not respond.

The next day, Cui Xingzhou's injury recovered a little, so he rushed to the Qiao Mansion. It happened to be the day when Liu Miantang's sister passed away, and the Qiao Mansion was very happy.The appearance of Cui Xingzhou surprised everyone. After some dealings, he finally got the opportunity to express his intention to marry the Qiao family, but he put it on hold temporarily because of the return of the Qiao family's new son-in-law.Afterwards, Qiao's grandfather privately questioned Cui Xingzhou about his past. He was quite dissatisfied with his past behavior and wanted to punish him with force.Liu Miantang appeared in time and revealed Cui Xingzhou's true identity - the King of Huaiyang. The scene was momentarily embarrassing.Grandpa Qiao respected his bravery but was worried about his past. He firmly opposed the marriage and only hoped that his granddaughter could find ordinary happiness.

In a corner of the Marquis Mansion, Zhao Quan, the noble Marquis, was clumsily wielding an ax and trying to chop firewood in the courtyard. His posture was extremely inconsistent with his status.Seeing this, He Zhen joked: How could a person as delicate as you be born to do such rough work?%After saying that, Zhao Quan actually turned to playing with porcelain clay and tried to shape a porcelain model. However, day after day, no finished product came out.On the other side, the Queen Mother privately revealed the truth about Cui Xingzhou's leg injury to Wu Hua, with worries in her words, suspecting that she might be trying to refuse the marriage.When Wuhua heard this, not only was she not annoyed, but she felt that the injury was very suitable for her. When she saw her appearance during the spring hunting, she felt bored and had no intention of getting married.The Empress Dowager also felt that Cui Xingzhou's move was not trivial and seemed to have profound meaning.Tzuyu accidentally revealed that falling from the horse might imply a request for an order, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Fortunately, Shi Xueji cleverly dealt with the situation and put the overall situation first, and proposed the strategy of promoting first and suppressing later, which not only saved the royal family's face, but also protected Cui Xingzhou. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was quite approving.

After dinner, Ziyu held a special banquet to entertain Shi Xueji.Shi Xueji watched his words carefully, fearing that he would offend Long Yan and ask for forgiveness.Seeing his fear, Ziyu smiled and said they just wanted to have a meal together to calm his mind.During the banquet, the two of them ate together, and Shi Xueji finally smiled.At the same time, Cui Xingzhou ignored Liu Miantang's injury and secretly visited Liu Miantang, seeking shelter. Instead, he was teased by the river, and Liu Miantang finally took him in.A meal of bibimbap made Cui Xingzhou feel warm in his heart. He hugged Liu Miantang tightly and couldn't let go.Zhao Quan, on the other hand, looked at He Zhen through the window lattice as he calculated the accounts in detail. Every stroke was meticulous, and although there was no transaction, he never tired of it.

The next day, Cui Xingzhou went to Qiao's house to play chess with his friend Lu Wu, intending to win over him.Lu Wu was loyal and asked Cui Xingzhou if he was willing to sacrifice his country for love.Cui Xingzhou had no choice but to return to Zhenzhou. On the way, he cared about Liu Miantang and presented him with plans, waistbands and documents, hoping that the two places would continue to miss each other.Liu Miantang refused at first, but was finally moved by his true love. They laughed and talked about delicious food and went to Zhenzhou together.In the middle of the night, the drums suddenly sounded. Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang rushed to the Yamen to ask for a marriage certificate and vow to get married.The second aunt was busy making preparations, and her words were full of worries and reminders about Liu Miantang's future career as a princess.

The emperor appointed Cui Xingzhou as Minister of War, which was originally a good thing. However, Shi Yikuan was afraid of the military power in the hands of King Huaiyang. When he heard that Cui Xingzhou was getting married without the approval of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he went to the emperor to tell the truth. The emperor had no idea about Cui Xingzhou's wedding.He clenched his hands into fists in hatred.Cui Xingzhou was uneasy on the way to the capital. He knew that the marriage was in a hurry without any formalities, so he married the emperor's sweetheart. He didn't know what difficulties he would encounter at the meeting today.Liu Miantang saw that he looked nervous, so she held his hand to express comfort.In the palace, someone impeached Cui Xingzhou for procrastinating in coming to Beijing, and wanted to revoke his title of Minister of War. Cui Xingzhou admitted that he once did not care about his family affairs in order to protect his country, but now after going through many hardships some time ago, his mother was almost framed by a J.This time he returned triumphantly, and in order to fulfill his mother's wish, he got married hastily.There was also Cui Xingzhou's teacher in the palace. He interceded for Cui Xingzhou, but the emperor had not made a decision for the time being.Liu Miantang entered the palace with Cui Xingzhou. The queen hosted a banquet for Liu Miantang, which was attended by many concubines. At the banquet, Liu Miantang also saw an old acquaintance, Sun Yuniang, who pushed her off the cliff by picking her hand muscles many years ago.

Now that she had been made a concubine by the emperor and taken to the palace, Sun Yunniang was obviously surprised when she saw Liu Miantang.The palace servant next to the Queen was helping pour wine and accidentally spilled it on Liu Miantang's skirt. The palace servant knelt down to apologize and asked for help to get the clothes in exchange. Liu Miantang didn't care at that time, but the Queen carefully discovered that it was Liu Miantang.The palace servant who served Tang the wine was from the emperor's side, so he also suggested that Liu Miantang change his clothes.Liu Miantang had already made preparations on the way to the palace. She told Cui Xingzhou that even though he would encounter difficulties, he was facing a formidable enemy. If he opposed the emperor for this, he would fall into King Sui's plan.Liu Miantang followed the palace servants to the back garden, and naturally met the emperor who had been waiting there for a long time. The emperor asked her if she was satisfied with her current life. If she felt unwilling, he would cancel her engagement with Cui Xingzhou.Liu Miantang replied calmly that if it were Ziqing back then, he would naturally bless and respect her choice.The emperor forced Liu Miantang to stay in the palace. At night, Cui Xingzhou did not see his wife. He was like an ant on a hot pot. He hurried back to the palace and was told by the palace people that he had gone back.

The queen warned the emperor not to miss important events because of this. Now Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou have become a couple, flying together. If one is captured by force, the other will die.The queen was still smart as ice and snow, so the emperor released Liu Miantang that night and gave them a pair of jade cups, wishing them harmony and good fortune for a hundred years.Cui Xingzhou settled down with the emperor and was naturally ready to help eliminate the emperor's serious problem. Now that King Sui had become a turtle in the urn, he had no choice but to have no conclusive evidence and had to investigate the identity of Mr. Big%. Liu Miantang discussed with Cui Xingzhou and decidedI am staying in the Duke's Mansion temporarily so that I can investigate the true identity of this mysterious person.

Liu Miantang discussed with Cui Xingzhou and decidedI am staying in the Duke's Mansion temporarily so that I can investigate the true identity of this mysterious person.

While Liu Miantang was hesitating in front of the bronze mirror and choosing a hairpin, the concubine quietly walked in and inserted a bright luminous pearl hairpin for her.The hair accessories complemented her clothes perfectly, showing elegance and refinement.The concubine has been keen on dressing up since she was a child. She once took care of Bi Lan carefully, but she has never seen such an unworldly beauty as Liu Miantang. She can't help but sigh that Cui Xingzhou has unique vision.When Cui Xingzhou was mentioned, the concubine was worried that he was away on war and the letter home had not arrived, so she mistakenly thought that the war was urgent, so she comforted Liu Miantang to be more considerate.However, while rummaging through the jewelry box to buy more decorations for Liu Miantang, the concubine accidentally discovered many letters home from Cui Xingzhou to Liu Miantang, but she didn't receive any of them. Her heart was full of mixed feelings and she left sadly.go.

In the dead of night, a woman quietly sneaked into Liu Miantang's boudoir and stole the precious luminous pearl hairpin.The Chamber of Commerce met the next day to discuss the issue of imperial tribute. He Gong decided to make He Zhen's craftsmanship and formula public without authorization, and wanted to give up his position of power to He Erlang.He Zhen was heartbroken. She couldn't give up the skills she had gained through hardship so easily, and was even excluded. She firmly opposed it.This move drew rebuke from Mr. He, but Liu Miantang stepped forward to support He Zhen, pointing out that any contribution should be based on fair exchange.She proposed to let He Zhen take the lead, just to win the respect she deserved.He Zhen has great ambitions and does not want to be limited to royal orders. She dreams of making her family the capital of porcelain.He Gong felt deeply that as a father he did not understand his daughter well enough, so he handed over the power of the Chamber of Commerce to He Zhen that night.After learning about her father's private appreciation for her, He Zhen also reflected on her own mistakes and took the initiative to contribute her craftsmanship to help her family run for imperial tribute.

At the concubine's birthday banquet, Liu Miantang appeared wearing a luminous pearl hairpin, attracting everyone's attention.Bin Lan suggested watching its light in the dark. Unexpectedly, the pearl on the hairpin did not shine, and everyone questioned its authenticity.Liu Miantang explained that he had not yet passed through the door, so it was not appropriate to wear the genuine article, so he replaced it with a counterfeit and the genuine article had been properly kept.Bin Lan refused and asked for verification.At this moment, the pawnshop owner arrived with a hairpin and said that a woman had pawned it in the middle of the night and claimed that it belonged to the King of Huaiyang.Mrs. Lian Chu and Bin Lan took the opportunity to ridicule Liu Miantang for being petty and pawning family heirlooms.Liu Miantang smiled calmly and took out the real hairpin. The two hairpins were so similar that they caused an uproar.She said that the fake hairpin was made by herself, using porcelain beads instead of real pearls, and it needed to be exposed to the sun to show its luster.Bin Lan didn't believe it, so she dropped it and broke it, and the truth came out.Grandma Wang was captured, confessed to the theft, and exposed the Lian Chu family's old grudges. She was willing to bear the responsibility of the crime on her own. She only asked Lian Chu family to keep her promise and release her son.The concubine was worried about the war, and Liu Miantang comforted her with her firm belief. However, beside the concubine, the shadows of Lian Chu and Bin Lan quietly isolated her.

The concubine begged Liu Miantang to remember the old relationship between Bin Lan and Cui Xingzhou and accept her as an equal wife. Unexpectedly, this move touched the bottom line that Liu Miantang insisted on.She firmly believed in her only love with Cui Xingzhou, and was disappointed and hurt by the concubine's proposal, so she decided to return to the courtyard alone as a silent protest.At the same time, Shi Yikuan cleverly maneuvered in the court and temporarily calmed down Ziyu's urging on the grounds of food and grass issues.Liu Miantang's sudden departure caught the concubine off guard and ordered her to be recovered urgently.

In order to promote his father's expedition, Shi Xueji did not hesitate to use extreme means to force him. In the end, Shi Yikuan accepted the order and brought the glory of the female family members of the family.However, behind this glory, the Shi family is full of complex emotional entanglements.Not to be outdone, King Sui sent assassins to chase Concubine Chu and others.Liu Miantang relied on his keen intuition to make plans in advance to protect everyone from disaster.On the battlefield, Cui Xingzhou and Shi Yikuan fought side by side and defeated King Lu.King Sui was furious and disappointed with the incompetence of his subordinates.Late at night, Princess Chu relied on Liu Miantang out of fear, and the two deepened their emotions during the conversation.Sudden changes alerted Liu Miantang. She responded quickly, but unexpectedly welcomed the return of Cui Xingzhou, which brought peace of mind to everyone.Although Ziyu followed closely behind, he still could not surpass Cui Xingzhou's pace.Lian Chu made a fuss in the palace and tried to use Bin Lan's marriage as a bargaining chip, but was firmly rejected by Cui Xingzhou.Bin Lan finally recognized the reality, gave up her illusions about the palace, and chose to retain her dignity.

The concubine originally intended to comfort her younger sister, but unexpectedly, her younger sister inadvertently revealed a secret that had been hidden for many years, and shamelessly declared that if the marriage contract had not been secretly arranged in the past, she would be the current concubine of Huaiyang.The concubine lived an indifferent life, her husband died young, and she raised her young son alone. Only she knew the hardships.Knowing that the truth was actually caused by her sister, the concubine was furious and slapped her throughout the hall.Facing her sister's pleading, the concubine was heartbroken and declared solemnly: Even if Liu Miantang was willing to let Cui Xingzhou take a concubine, she would never agree because she firmly believed that the concubine of the Huaiyang Palace must be an outstanding person.Lian Binglan was disheartened. Standing by the lake in the dead of night, all the past events passed by her like a revolving lantern. She realized that her obsession in the past was no more than a child's joke. The princess she was chasing was only in vain, and she never cherished the true meaning of mutual love.

Witnessing Cui Xingzhou's deep affection for Liu Miantang, Lian Binglan yearned for her and longed to find someone to spend ordinary years with.Cui Xingzhou overheard his sister's voice and felt deeply guilty for obeying the engagement without knowing her true feelings.Finally, on the day of Cui Liu's wedding, the Qiao family arrived with heavy gifts. There was great joy inside and outside the Huaiyang Palace, and everyone was talking about the rich dowry.Liu Miantang wears red makeup, which makes her look even more gentle and charming.Although Cui Xingzhou had only been separated for two days, he felt as if he had been separated for three autumns, and his mood was uneasy. He poured out his heart to Zhao Quan, saying that Liu Miantang had become an indispensable person in his life, and this feeling transcended mundane love.Liu Miantang looked extremely relaxed and spent her free time with her best friends.

At the wedding, He Zhen cleverly set up a red rope scene, and Cui Xingzhou hit it right with his deep understanding of Liu Miantang.As night fell, the palace was brightly lit, Cui Xingzhou was not drunk at the banquet, and rushed to the bridal chamber. When he saw Liu Miantang, he was so naive, and he felt love for her, and the two finally became consummated.The next day, the imperial court issued a decree, and Cui Xingzhou was awarded a reward and had to enter the palace immediately to express his gratitude.The concubine and Liu Miantang worked together to help Cui Xingzhou prepare.On the other side, Cui Xingzhou captured the rebel Wen Tinghe. After a rigorous interrogation at Dali Temple, Wen Tinghe confessed the secrets of King Sui and Mr. Da behind the scenes. King Sui heard the news and was eager to silence him to avoid future troubles.

Cui Xingzhou was honored as the Minister of the Ministry of War. He originally had a bright career, but he got into trouble because of his secret marriage.Shi Yikuan coveted the military power of the King of Huaiyang, and took the opportunity to slander the emperor, saying that he had married without permission from the Ministry of Household Affairs, which made Long Yan furious. He was furious without knowing the truth.Cui Xingzhou already felt something ominous on his way to Beijing. He knew that he was acting hastily and was afraid that something might happen to him when he met the emperor.Liu Miantang held his hand gently to calm his mind.

In the court, some officials wanted to reduce Cui Xingzhou's official position on the grounds that he was slow to enter the capital.Cui Xingzhou made an impassioned speech, saying that in the past he was on the battlefield and had no time to take care of personal matters. Now he is eager to return home and fulfill his mother's wish, so he hastily married.Fortunately, thanks to the protection of his mentor, the emperor was hesitant.Liu Miantang entered the palace with her husband, and the queen hosted a banquet in honor of her. During the dinner, she ran into her old enemy Sun Yunniang. The past grudges came to light and she is now a concubine. Their eyes met and sparks flew.

An accident occurred during the banquet, and a palace attendant accidentally stained Liu Miantang's skirt with wine. The queen was keenly aware of the palace attendant's special status and advised her to change her clothes as a precaution.Liu Miantang had been prepared for a long time, considering the overall situation in his mind, and remained unmoved.When they arrived in the back garden, the emperor summoned him alone to test his intentions and threatened him with a marriage contract.Liu Miantang responded calmly, saying that in the past, if she was her own person, she would respect the other person's choice. Now that she is a woman, she should advance and retreat together with her husband.

The emperor was finally moved by his words, and sent Liu Miantang home at night, and gave her a pair of jade cups, which symbolized the harmony and beauty of the couple and would last forever.Cui Xingzhou was so anxious that he finally got the beautiful woman back. The two settled their differences and planned state affairs together, vowing to eliminate the troubles caused by King Sui and Mr. Da behind him.Liu Miantang proposed to temporarily stay in the Duke's Mansion for in-depth investigation and uncover the mystery of the mysterious figure.

In order to find out the details of the Duke, Cui Xingzhou cleverly set up a trap and asked his cronies to pretend to be members of King Sui's tribe, intending to kidnap the Duke to test his reaction.His master, the Duke, could handle it calmly without showing any signs of panic, even if a sharp knife was inserted into his neck.Cui Xingzhou watched from afar and gave a slight signal. His men quickly changed their tactics and instead wanted to kidnap the Duke's son and demand a sky-high ransom of five thousand gold.When the Duke heard about this huge sum of money, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for himself for his incorruptible life and lack of money.This move undoubtedly showed that the Duke was not a party to King Sui.Cui Xingzhou then ordered his men to stop at the right time.

In the Duke's mansion, Liu Miantang first saw the preparations for the feast, and noticed that although Sister Cui was the mistress of the mansion, she did not seem to be fully favored by her husband Guo Yi.Guo Yi preferred his concubine Gai Yurao, who was dressed in rich clothes and wore a priceless jade bracelet that was rare even in the palace.Gai Yurao was so arrogant that he took the position of mistress and was arrogant.Liu Miantang was very attentive and told Cui Xingzhou what he saw, and the two of them turned the focus of their investigation to Guo Yi.Sure enough, Guo Yi was extravagant and recently spent huge sums of money to purchase rare items, all of which were paid in cash. It seemed like he had a windfall in his account.

In order to lure Guo Yi into revealing his secret, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang made careful arrangements.At the banquet, Liu Miantang gave his eldest sister Ye Ming a pearl hairpin, but Guo Yi only gave him a gold pearl hairpin, which aroused his dissatisfaction.In order to seek balance, Guo Yi bought the same model at a high price. Gai Yurao also agreed and spent 500 gold.Cui Xingzhou had transferred his eldest sister's dowry to the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion in advance. Guo Yi had no money to repay the debt, so he used the land deed as a mortgage.Cui Xingzhou's shadow guard took the opportunity to record the land deed information in detail. After comparison, he found that none of the land deeds belonged to the eldest sister, and there were a large number of them.

After Cui Xingzhou's skillful search, he found Guo Yi's account book in the secret compartment of the scroll. All the witnesses and physical evidence confirmed that Guo Yi was actually Mr. Da, who had been involved in corruption for a long time, and his network even touched important departments of the three departments.Cui Xingzhou reported to the emperor quickly. Both of them lamented that the three divisions were also polluted. If the king's case was handed over to him for trial, it would be difficult to achieve justice.Cui Xingzhou advocated holding back his troops temporarily to avoid disturbing the situation and affecting the overall situation.The original plan to quickly eliminate King Sui and return to Qingzhou with Liu Miantang seems to have to be postponed.Liu Miantang comforted Cui Xingzhou with gentle words and suggested going out to relax and plan for the future together.

The shadow guards under Cui Xingzhou quietly conveyed urgent information, and King Sui decided to launch a rebellion on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The safety of the defense lines around the capital was at stake.Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou analyzed side by side and foresaw that the capital was about to fall into a bloody storm.The emperor had heard about this for a long time. He was eager to confront King Sui head-on, but he was concerned about the safety of the queen, so he secretly ordered the shadow guards to ensure the safety of the queen, and arranged for her to leave the palace and take refuge on the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the name of praying for blessings.The empress was extremely intelligent and noticed something strange in the emperor's recent busyness and worries. Although she was puzzled by the sudden arrangement of leaving the palace, she obeyed.

At the same time, the queen was very concerned about the rejection of Sun Yun'er's gift. Liu Miantang happened to be nearby and witnessed the arrogance of Sun Yun'er's maid. She bluntly said that what the imperial concubine asked for was a treasure given by the emperor, which made Shi Xueji look embarrassed.Upon seeing this, the queen put the overall situation first and generously gave Sun Yun'er the unique Fengyi jewelry head and face in the palace.Sun Yun'er was so proud that she dressed up and went to the emperor to ask for his favor without being summoned, but was met with a cold reception. She even lost face because she failed to please the emperor on her birthday.Frustrated, she wanted to seek refuge with King Sui, but she was turned away, and she became resentful.

At this moment, a secret letter and a packet of medicinal powder from Princess Sui were quietly delivered to Sun Yun'er, adding fuel to his revenge fire.Sun Yun'er mistakenly believed that this was the order of King Sui, and since she had nothing to fear, she decided to poison the emperor's family banquet.The queen and the emperor drank poisoned wine and fainted on the spot. The queen mother responded quickly and sealed the palace gate to track down the real culprit.After some investigation, although Liu Miantang was framed, the Queen Mother was wise and exposed Sun Yun'er's true face through the toxicity test of the imperial doctor.In the end, Sun Yun'er suffered the consequences, and King Sui learned that the emperor was poisoned and mistakenly believed that victory was within his grasp. He suspended his rebellion plan and waited for the throne to fall into his hands naturally.

As the emperor was critically ill for many days, the Queen Mother was tired of guarding him day and night. Finally, she was unable to do what she wanted and retreated to Yongshou Palace to rest.Seeing this opportunity, King Sui resolutely took on the responsibility of supervising the country and announced that all memorials must go through his hands first.Above the court, Cui Xingzhou's master stepped forward and vowed to impeach his disciples.King Sui was shocked on the surface, but actually he was confident, because the Duke had knelt down the night before and begged him to show mercy and save his son's life.King Sui knew that the duke had no heir and the deep love between father and son, so he followed the current, which not only won the duke's gratitude, but also made far-reaching plans.Cui Xingzhou was immediately arrested and imprisoned in Dali Temple to await trial. At the same time, the Huaiyang palace was placed under a ban and was isolated inside and outside.In the dead of night, King Sui came to the prison in person and ridiculed Cui Xingzhou, trying to force him to surrender. However, Cui Xingzhou was proud and unmoved, and he mocked King Sui for being too proud.

King Sui was ambitious and wanted to force the Queen Mother to hand over the jade seal. The Queen Mother understood his treachery and tried to persuade her to no avail.Fortunately, the emperor's condition improved, and the imperial physician provided an antidote, which hopefully led to his recovery.King Sui made a desperate move and broke into the palace without permission, intending to kill the king. Unexpectedly, the emperor woke up and the royal guards arrived quickly, and King Sui was finally arrested.Regardless of his safety, Liu Miantang sneaked into the prison and rescued Cui Xingzhou with his martial arts. He reunited with Shi Yikuan and went to a safe place together.

Sun Yun'er mistakenly believed the rescue signal, but in fact Liu Miantang had already planned it. The drug only caused people to fall asleep and there was no danger to their lives.Then the king committed suicide, and the emperor's serious troubles were eliminated. He and the queen had a deep love for each other, and they enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous life together.Cui Xingzhou resigned from office and went into seclusion. He and Liu Miantang traveled together in the mountains and rivers and kept their promises, which became a good story.Not only was he brave on the battlefield, but he also showed tenderness and loyalty as a husband outside the court, making him a true man.
