Faced with Yin Zheng's confession, Li Wei was caught off guard. In truth, she wanted to agree to stay with Yin Zheng, but didn’t know how to say it. After Yin Zheng left, she held her chest tightly, afraid that the little deer thumping inside would leap out. Song Wu was always picking on Li Wei, so much so that even the maids couldn't help but wonder if she liked Li Wei.

Li Wei, who overheard, teased Song Wu about it. But Song Wu didn’t get angry. Instead, she started talking to Li Wei about what it really meant to like someone. Liking a person was different from liking an object. If it’s an object, you don’t care about its feelings—you just take it when you're happy. But if it's a person, you care whether they’re happy, you respect them, and your heart and eyes hold only them.

Listening to Song Wu speak so earnestly, Li Wei fell into deep thought. Before they knew it, New Year's Eve arrived. According to custom, the princes had to attend the palace banquet. Worried that Li Wei wouldn’t feel at ease, Yin Zheng specially asked for leave and took her out to stroll through the streets. Unexpectedly, they ran into Yin Qi and Shangguan Jing at a restaurant.

The four of them decided to eat hot pot together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. In contrast, things were rather quiet on Hao Jia’s side. She didn’t mind much, but she was curious why Zhao Fangru, after being married for so many years, still hadn’t gotten pregnant. Her maid told her that six years ago, during the nine regions’ selection of girls for marriage, Zhao Fangru stood out the most.

But later, when Yin Song wanted to set her aside and remarry, Zhao Fangru cut ties with the outside world and spent her days quietly in the inner residence with Yin Song. The sisters gathered and chatted about their respective households. They all agreed that among the brothers, Yin Zheng was the most outstanding. That night, Li Wei quietly had a heart-to-heart with Hao Jia. From the beginning, she had intended to leave, but now her heart was wavering.

When Hao Jia heard that Yin Zheng wanted to make Li Wei his official wife, she was shocked and delighted. For Li Wei, such things didn’t mean much, but in Xinchuan, elevating a concubine to official wife was a major affair. Yin Zheng’s willingness to break the rules for Li Wei showed just how sincere his love for her was. After the matter in Jinchuan was resolved, Xinchuan’s treasury finally got some relief.

Yin Qi also secretly redeemed the sword he had once pawned and surprised Shangguan Jing with it. Shangguan Jing was overjoyed and deeply moved. To avoid being too sentimental, she gently gave Yin Qi a few playful punches as thanks. Lately, the sisters had all been on diets. Haitang even fainted from hunger because of it. It turned out Yin An had demanded that everyone be slim as cicada wings.

Shangguan Jing and Li Wei spoke up for Haitang, insisting that women should lose weight for themselves, not to meet some man’s harsh standards. To put this belief into action, Li Wei had her clothes let out after returning home. Unexpectedly, Yin Zheng appeared and personally helped her alter the clothes. The atmosphere became subtly intimate. Su Shen, with a good sense of timing, dismissed the two maids, leaving Li Wei and Yin Zheng alone together.

Li Wei gently called his name and pulled the red thread from his hand. Li Wei, blushing, told Yin Zheng she had decided to stay and be the wife of the Sixth Prince. Upon hearing this, Yin Zheng was both surprised and happy, and the hand holding the red thread twitched involuntarily. He eagerly asked Li Wei if she truly meant it. When he saw her nod gently, he finally felt at ease.

But Xinchuan was different from Jichuan—Li Wei hoped Yin Zheng understood that she would have no other husband in this life but him. Yin Zheng, of course, understood. He promised her that she would be his only wife for the rest of his life. Under the bright moonlight, the two embraced, confirming their love for each other. On the day of Yin Zheng’s first court session, Li Wei got up early to see him off and cheer him on.

Although Yin Zheng couldn’t clearly hear her words, he still loudly responded. However, he didn’t have a smooth time at court. When he stepped forward to speak, the ministers ignored him and instead supported Yin Song’s views. Feeling defeated, Yin Zheng left the hall, only to be summoned back by the Lord. The Lord told him that he had chosen an excellent wife for him—Yuan Ying, the legitimate daughter of Lord Jinchuan. Yin Zheng felt like lightning had struck and immediately refused.
