One and Only Episode 5 Recap
> One and Only Recap
Zhou Tianxing and Feng Qiao stayed at the mansion and met Liu Zixing, who had come a long way. As soon as Liu Zixing entered the mansion, he thought of Shiyi. This was his first time meeting Shiyi, and he chose a secluded and elegant spot. Looking at the young woman before him, Liu Zixing was momentarily stunned. Today, he finally didn't have to look at a portrait anymore, but could see Shiyi in person.
The two sat on the ground. Liu Zixing talked about the extravagance of Nanchen Royal Mansion. Shiyi could not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Zhou Shengchen, so she spoke up for him, saying that the luxury of Nanchen Royal Mansion was to deter the rebels in the surrounding areas. Liu Zixing also praised Zhou Shengchen, going along with Shiyi's words.
He wanted to pour tea for Shiyi, but Shiyi, knowing it was not proper, stepped forward to stop him and got her hand scalded in the process. Liu Zixing was concerned about Shiyi, but Shiyi avoided him everywhere and did not develop any good feelings for him. Liu Zixing was very fond of Shiyi. It happened to be Shiyi's birthday, so Liu Zixing took Shiyi to the military camp to celebrate.
Firstly, he wanted to give Shiyi a birthday gift, and secondly, he wanted to see Zhou Shengchen. In the military camp, Zhou Shengchen saw that Shiyi had scalded her hand and immediately sent for the army doctor to treat her injury. Shiyi had brought Tusu wine this time.
Zhou Shengchen and all the soldiers raised their cups and drank together, first to honor the fallen soldiers, second to wish that the country would have no more wars, and third to wish Shiyi a happy birthday. At today's feast, everyone drank heartily, except for Liu Zixing, who felt unwell and rested first.
Listening to the sounds of merry drinking outside, and recalling the tacit understanding between Shiyi and Zhou Shengchen's exchanged glances, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Xiaoyu didn't know that Liu Zixing and his entourage were in the military camp. She greatly praised Zhou Shengchen, saying that the common people all said Zhou Shengchen's character was rarer than that of emperors.
Zhou Tianxing pulled Xiaoyu, telling her not to say too much, as there were outsiders in the military camp. These words were overheard by a servant beside Liu Zixing. After the feast dispersed, Shiyi came to find Zhou Shengchen. She drank a few more cups with Zhou Shengchen, only wishing that this bowl of peppercorn wine could bless Zhou Shengchen and her senior brothers and sisters for years to come, safely and smoothly.
Afterwards, Zhou Shengchen carried the drunk Shiyi back to rest. Shiyi cried out Zhou Shengchen's name in her dream, afraid that something might happen to him outside. Zhou Shengchen, however, answered honestly that if something happened to him, he would be buried wherever he died, without needing others to find him, without leaving sadness. Hearing this, Shiyi opened her eyes and cried even more incessantly. Zhou Shengchen gave his tent to Shiyi. Xiaoyu came to keep Shiyi company.
She gave Shiyi a piece of armor and talked to Shiyi about Zhou Shengchen. Although she and Xie Yun had always accompanied Zhou Shengchen, they were still late. Zhou Shengchen went through his most difficult times on his own. The Nanchen Royal army was built by him. He fought battles all the way and never suffered a defeat. This is how the title of Junior Prince of Nanchen came about, and the hardships involved are self-evident.
Seeing that her senior sister Xiaoyu was hungry, Shiyi accompanied her outside to look for food. Zhou Shengchen saw the two of them from a distance and guessed their intention, so he quietly arranged for the cook to make some hot food for his disciples. The next day, Shiyi apologized for her inappropriate behavior the previous night. Zhou Shengchen didn't mind. Afterwards, Zhou Shengchen accompanied Shiyi to visit the military camp.
Besides seeing the soldiers training, Shiyi also met Feng Qiao and Xiao Yan. Feng Qiao kept forcing Xiao Yan to spar with her, but Xiao Yan was willing to admit defeat and refused to make a move.
