Go Princess, Go! Episode 22 Recap
> Go Princess, Go! Recap
Qi Sheng came to Xingsheng Palace, hinting to Zhang Pengpeng that he had gone to Youlan Palace to see Jiang Yingyue, and also said that he felt refreshed after seeing Jiang Yingyue. Qi Sheng angrily questioned Zhang Pengpeng if she had ever truly cared for him, and in a fit of rage, placed Zhang Pengpeng under house arrest. Qi Sheng uttered harsh words, threatening to make Zhang Pengpeng taste a life worse than death.
Zhang Pengpeng realized that she would soon be replaced by Jiang Yingyue, and that she and the Zhang family would be in jeopardy, thus she felt distressed. Lv Li, in order to cheer Zhang Pengpeng up, suggested inviting all the empresses from other palaces to keep her company and relieve her boredom, which was exactly what Zhang Pengpeng wanted.
Zhang Pengpeng played games with the concubines, but discovered that her body had changed since she became pregnant; she was no longer interested in women. She believed this was caused by her career setbacks. Zhang Pengpeng thought of bringing Zhao Wang into her camp, securing more support for herself, and strategizing to ensure her survival. Zhang Pengpeng was concerned that Zhao Wang might still have feelings for Jiang Yingyue. Zhao Wang stated that he no longer loved Jiang Yingyue.
Zhang Pengpeng furiously told Zhao Wang that his ex-wife was about to become his sister-in-law. Zhao Wang agreed to the alliance and reminded Zhang Pengpeng to "walk on two legs" (meaning to have multiple strategies) and also learn to please Qi Sheng. The Emperor sounded out the Ninth Prince regarding the appointment of generals for the war. The Ninth Prince did not recommend General Yang.
The Emperor said he had already made his decision and dispatched Yang Yu to lead the expedition. Zhang Pengpeng brought Zhao Wang to Chunjiang Huayue Tower to meet the Ninth Prince and Yang Yan. Zhao Wang reminded Zhang Pengpeng to endure grievances and get close to Qi Sheng. Zhang Pengpeng also realized that men do not like overly strong women, so she decided to change her attitude towards Qi Sheng, which would be beneficial for her own survival.
The next day, Zhang Pengpeng summoned Qi Sheng and sincerely apologized to him. Although Qi Sheng knew there was truth and falsehood in Zhang Pengpeng's words, he still lifted the ban on Xingsheng Palace. Lv Li told Zhang Pengpeng that someone had seen Lady Jiang in Daming Palace. Zhang Pengpeng worried that Qi Sheng intended to elevate the mistress to a legitimate position, so she decided to personally go to Daming Palace.
Jiang Yingyue told Zhang Pengpeng that Qi Sheng had already bestowed upon her the surname Su, renamed her Su Xiaorou, and that she had become a palace maid. Zhang Pengpeng did not want this Su Xiaorou to ruin her plan to curry favor with Qi Sheng, so she decided to have Lv Li teach her a good lesson.
