Just as Ren Anle and Han Ye were in a standoff, the Emperor sent an edict inviting Ren Anle to attend the Crown Prince's concubine selection banquet. Luo Mingxi found out that Princess An Ning had fallen into the water during her childhood, causing her to be unconscious for several days and experience continuous nightmares. In her anger, the Empress Dowager executed the eunuch Liangxi, but later, she took care of An Ning with great care and allowed her to go to the northwestern border for garrison duty.

For a full ten years, Princess An Ning had never returned to the capital city and rarely exchanged letters with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, which was somewhat suspicious. Therefore, combining various clues, Luo Mingxi and Lin Lang speculated that Princess An Ning might be a witness to the Di family's annihilation and also a person with knowledge of the case.

Upon hearing that the Emperor was especially partial to Ren Anle and had sent her a special edict, Di Chengen was extremely dissatisfied and eager to live a glorious life in the future. In order to stand out at the Crown Prince's concubine selection banquet the next day, Di Chengen didn't hesitate to immerse herself in cold water and mistreat herself, thus setting up a scheme to evoke sympathy from Han Ye.

Ren Anle carefully considered that if Di Chengen could be chosen as the Crown Princess, it might be a good thing. Firstly, it would attract more attention to the Di family's past, laying the groundwork for a future exoneration; secondly, being the Crown Princess, she would be protected by the royal family and could hide until the time was right for her to seek justice.

Di Chengen asked Mu Qing to help her prepare a few barrels of cold water but was refused. Mu Qing cared about Di Chengen's health and opposed her self-torture. However, Di Chengen didn't listen to the advice and soaked herself in cold water, enduring the piercing cold to achieve her goal. She swore never to return to Daishan or suffer humiliation from others.

On the night before the banquet, Cold North took the initiative to meet Mo Shuang and repeatedly warned her not to become the Crown Princess of Da Jing. However, Mo Shuang fell in love with Han Ye at first sight and regardless of Cold North's obstruction, she had made up her mind to dress up as the kind of person the Crown Prince liked. The Emperor ordered a banquet in the palace, and the women vying for the position of Crown Princess were required to attend at the same time to make the final decision.

Although the royal banquet was not grand, it was rare and solemn. Han Ye didn't want to be too extravagant, so he dressed modestly and low-key. Ren Anle also wore a moon-white long dress, making it difficult for him to take his eyes off her. Wen Shuo wisely left, leaving the two alone. Ren Anle was rarely gentle, with a charming smile, which made Han Ye find it hard not to be moved.

As people came one after another to the banquet, only Di Chengen and Zhong Jing hadn't appeared yet. After waiting for a while, Han Ye raised his cup and proposed a toast, hoping Ren Anle could find a better match. Ren Anle's smile faded slightly upon hearing this, and she wished Han Ye success in finding his ideal match and putting her heart to rest.

Just as they were talking, Di Chengen arrived, deliberately pretending to be weak and about to faint. Han Ye hurriedly reached out to support her. He initially wanted to put a cloak on her, but then he thought it would be better for the eunuch to do it to avoid gossip. As expected, the noble women present saw through Di Chengen's little scheme and mocked her for being too clumsy.

Mo Shuang took the initiative to approach Di Chengen and asked about the unique skills of the Di family. Di Chengen looked uneasy, and Ren Anle deliberately instigated Han Ye to help her out. Faced with the various performances of the noble ladies, Ren Anle suddenly asked Di Chengen to play music. Han Ye tried to decline on her behalf, but to his surprise, Di Chengen readily agreed and was willing to go on stage to perform. Her skill was surprisingly stunning, leaving Han Ye puzzled and puzzled because in his memory, Di Chengen had always loved swordplay. When did she start enjoying playing the qin (a traditional Chinese musical instrument)? Wen Shuo thought it might be because of the boredom of living in Daishan, so she chose to play the qin to pass the time, and Han Ye didn't delve further into it.

At this moment, Princess An Ning suddenly became emotionally agitated and rebuked Di Chengen, asking why she had humiliated herself like this. Today was originally the anniversary of the death of Lord Jing'an, and yet she dressed up in festive clothes and played joyful music. Chaos broke out at the concubine selection banquet. Han Zhongyuan stood nearby and witnessed everything, feeling incredulous that the once flamboyant Di family's daughter had turned into this appearance, which was truly unimaginable.

An Ning calmed down and apologized to Di Chengen, pleading with her to give up the position of the Crown Princess. However, her plea was met with Di Chengen's refusal. In the end, An Ning publicly declared her support for Ren Anle to become the Crown Princess. The crowd was in an uproar, and Mo Shuang proposed to perform a sword dance. However, when she saw her brother casting a stern gaze at her, she pretended to feel unwell and sat back in her seat. Ren Anle, seeing this, said she would perform on Mo Shuang's behalf and requested Di Chengen to accompany her on the instrument.
