Prince is ordered to host a banquet.

Hurry and go to show your presence.

Does he really need me
to make an appearance?

Why don't you go?

Isn't that a joke?

Wouldn't my presence just give
those foreigners a chance to show off?

Then I won't go either.

No. You represent our family.

You must go and make an appearance.

I represent you?

Fine, I'll go get ready.

[Xingchen Palace]

[Others might mistake this]

[for a marketplace instead.]

Your Grace, why you've arrived so late?

How can the highlight arrive first?

His Highness has been sending people
to ask about you over a dozen times.

We are all anxious for him.

Alright, alright.

Wasn't this a banquet for the envoys?

Why are there so many people here?

Chuxi.

You don't know,

because of His Highness's illness,
he hasn't hosted a banquet for years.

This time,

taking advantage of this chance,

many families sent greeting cards.

His Highness had to
send out invitations to all.

Mumu, you are truly everywhere.

It's all thanks to your teaching.

I go wherever the excitement is.

Is this also the first time in years

that His Majesty asked
the Crown Prince to host a banquet?

Yes, indeed.

There's also a rumor outside that

His Majesty arranged this

so that the princes and nobles
can choose brides.

No wonder there are so many

young ladies dressed in vibrant colors.

None of these ladies can compare to you.

Shh, keep it down.

I'm terribly sorry. Please forgive me.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

That little maid is not from
the Crown Prince's residence, right?

That maid did look a bit unfamiliar.

Do you mean...

Understood. Please take your seat first.

I will investigate immediately.

I'm going too. There might be
something interesting.

Your Grace, greetings.

[Xingchen Palace]

- Please. - Please.

New gossip again.

She... Isn't she...

She's Prince Ning's daughter, so give up.

Your Grace, I'm deeply
honored by your favor,

and will not fail
to reciprocate your affection.

Are you drunk?

It's a private matter between us.

Stay out of this.

We have never met before.

Why did you say such things?

Just earlier, you
exchanged messages with me.

And now you're denying it all?

Princess Yuexi has actually fallen

for the son of Lord Luanyang
and even exchanged messages?

That's shattering revelation!

This news is quite thrilling.

What kind of messages? Is there evidence?

You didn't write to me personally,

but sent a handkerchief
through your maid as a token.

Those words of admiration for me

were all conveyed by your maid.

[Yuexi]

I thought it was just drunken nonsense,

but he actually has a token.

Mr. Chen, you must be mistaken.

I attended the banquet today
with a close friend.

Mr. Chen, take a closer look.

Is there such a maid
who delivered the handkerchief?

This...

Perhaps you had a maid

from Linhua Palace deliver it
to divert attention.

Moreover, the handkerchief belongs to you.

This can't be wrong, can it?

Mr. Chen, you must be joking.

For such a private matter,

why would I find a complete stranger
to send a message for me?

Moreover, I'm not that naive

like you.

How can you prove
that handkerchief isn't yours?

It even has your name embroidered on it.

Because

this handkerchief is mine.

Your Grace, could it be that
you just picked a random maid's handkerchief

and claimed it as your own?

It's Starry Brocade.

The same material you wore
at the flower viewing banquet.

It's two-colored embroidery.

This craftsmanship is simply exquisite.

This is the handkerchief I usually use.

As for the one you're holding,

the embroidery is mediocre,
not to my taste at all.

This...

But what if you prepared two handkerchiefs?

If I were foolish enough

to embroider my name on it,

would I need to prepare
an additional handkerchief?

By the way, Miss Lin,
if you still have doubts,

why not ask His Highness

to seal off all entrances
and exits of the residence,

and thoroughly search for the maid

who delivered the handkerchief
to see whose maid she is?

I would also like to know

who's accusing me like this.

This is a banquet hosted
for envoys from various countries.

Sealing off the residence

just to find one maid

might not be appropriate.

What's inappropriate about it?

Your Highness.

Xingheng.

At my residence,

someone's falsely accusing Her Grace.

I cannot shirk responsibility for this.

I must clear Her Grace's name.

Master, Her Grace said
she just lost a handkerchief,

we don't need to make things
difficult for that maid.

I'm afraid

it's not that simple.

Huailiu, block all the doors

of the residence.

Take people to investigate the maids

and check if any intruders have snuck in.

Yes.

Xingheng, I think we shouldn't
make a big fuss about it.

Everyone already knows now

that Princess Yuexi was falsely accused,

so this incident

won't affect her reputation.

Such villains can be investigated privately.

If we make a grand scene now

to question every maid,

it will surely cause inconvenience

to all the guests attending the banquet.

Your Highness, thank you
for your understanding.

It was my lack of foresight.

As envoys are present,

it's not appropriate to seal
the residence for investigation.

Since Her Grace has said so,

I'll withdraw the order.

But I will still assist Her Grace
in finding out the truth.

I was deceived by others

and offended Your Grace. Please
don't hold it against me.

I will visit you another day
with my father to apologize.

Don't bother.

Princess Yuexi is composed
in the face of accusation,

organized and extraordinary in demeanor.

She doesn't dwell on personal gains,

but is rather considerate
of the bigger picture.

A woman like this

will be a perfect wife.

She would surely
lead the family to prosperity.

Don't write this. I'm afraid to get married.

What?

Since the problem is solved,

please follow me to the front hall
to enjoy the view.

By the way, Chuxi, why do I feel

the Crown Prince obeys your every word?

Oh no!

Really? No, you're overthinking it.

Your Grace, Miss Su.

The pond! Lin Yudai. Quick!

Let's go!

Yudai, are you okay?

Don't cry anymore.

Don't cry.

How did Yudai end up

falling into the pond?

Miss Lin just approached
the edge of the pond.

Suddenly, a servant appeared out
of nowhere and bumped into her.

Write it down quickly.

Miss Lin lost her balance and fell in.

Where's that servant?

It happened so suddenly.

He moved fast, so I didn't see clearly.

Useless!

Although there have been rumors
about these two for a while,

- Don't cry. - Now in plain sight,

they've had physical contact.

The rumor must be true.

So sensational! Write it down.

The Third Prince went
into the water to save Miss Lin.

Even though it was an act of rescue,
Miss Lin's reputation is affected.

I wonder whether you

will grant Miss Lin a proper title.

After all, with her background

and her tarnished reputation,

she can't be your official wife.

It's okay now.

- How embarrassing! - Exactly.

That's truly disgraceful.

Let's go.

Move aside.

Well, the wife hasn't even entered the family yet,

and there's already a troublesome concubine.

What a headache.

A woman like this will be a perfect wife.

Don't write this. I'm afraid to get married.

Thank you, Your Highness.

For what?

I know there's an embroiderer in your residence
who's skilled in two-colored embroidery

and she embroiders very quickly.

I was curious at the time.

I even asked Huailiu
to take me to observe her.

Oh? And so?

She even used

the Starry Brocade I once wore,

making it all the more convincing.

It seems he usually pays attention to me.

Perhaps.
