Zhao Zhen decided to hold a mourning ceremony for Di Qing in the palace, posthumously bestowing him the title of Grand Chancellor and the posthumous name Wuxiang. After Zhao Zhen finished handling Di Qing's affairs, he was stopped by Yang shi on his way back to the palace. Seeing Yang shi, Zhao Zhen thought something had happened to Zhao Huirou. Yang shi, seeing Zhao Zhen's great concern for Zhao Huirou, found it difficult to complain further.
She only said she came to the palace to express gratitude. Realizing she couldn't get through to Zhao Zhen, Yang shi went to Kunning Palace to find Cao Danshu. Cao Danshu guessed that Yang shi came because of Zhao Huirou, so she asked Yang shi to be more understanding of Zhao Huirou. She added that if Zhao Huirou had any inappropriate words or actions, she and Miao Xinhe would guide Zhao Huirou more.
Yang shi, seeing that Cao Danshu also had an attitude of protecting Zhao Huirou, did not dare to complain further and could only subtly satirize Zhao Huirou in her words. Liang Quanyi breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that Yang shi didn't dare to complain. However, he worried that Zhao Huirou and Li Wei would always have conflicts in the long run.
Liang Quanyi knew that Zhao Huirou trusted Liang Huaiji, so he asked Liang Huaiji to find opportunities to persuade Zhao Huirou more. The next morning, while Zhao Huirou and Li Wei were having breakfast together, she suddenly brought up the national rule that a consort must be summoned by the princess before entering her residence. Zhao Huirou asked Li Wei to move out. If he needed anything, she could procure it for him. Li Wei remained silent.
Seeing that Li Wei looked angry, Zhao Huirou said that if he wished, he could come to the princess's residence to have dinner with her in the evening. Li Wei could only express his gratitude. Zhao Zhen summoned Han Qi to fish with him in the garden. The last time the two of them fished together was ten years ago. Han Qi said he had one matter he absolutely had to admonish Zhao Zhen about.
Zhao Zhen thought Han Qi's first action upon returning to the capital would be to force him to establish an heir. Just as he was about to get angry, Han Qi said he believed that the crown prince was the foundation of the state and should not be easily established.
He merely felt that Zhao Zhen currently had no sons, so he proposed that Zhao Zhen establish an academy in the palace and invite renowned teachers to instruct the imperial clan's children. Firstly, this would allow the imperial clan's children to see Zhao Zhen more often and bask in his imperial favor. Secondly, it could also alleviate Zhao Zhen's loneliness slightly. Yang shi complained to her maid Xia He about Zhao Huirou.
Yang shi only had Li Wei as a son, so naturally, her greatest concern was for Li Wei to carry on the family line. Seeing Yang shi worried about this, Xia He suggested that Li Wei take a concubine, adding that perhaps Zhao Huirou would become jealous once she knew Li Wei was taking a concubine. Yang shi thought this made sense and went to discuss it with Zhao Huirou the next day.
However, Zhao Huirou agreed without hesitation to let Li Wei take a concubine. But Li Wei refused to take a concubine and angrily wanted to smash things to vent his frustration. In Yang shi's eyes, however, she thought Li Wei was going to hit her. Yang shi immediately fell to the ground and made a scene, saying that if Li Wei didn't take a concubine, he would have to share a room with Zhao Huirou.
Li Wei adamantly disagreed, kowtowing on the ground until his head was swollen, but still refused to give in. Liang Huaiji went out to purchase gifts. Liang Yuansheng already knew Liang Huaiji's identity, so he pretended to encounter Liang Huaiji on the street and forcibly took him onto a carriage. Liang Huaiji refused to acknowledge Liang Yuansheng and wanted to get off the carriage and leave.
Liang Yuansheng recited the family letters Liang Huaiji had written to him years ago, saying that he never liked memorizing things, but he remembered every word of the letters Liang Huaiji wrote to him clearly. Liang Huaiji felt a pang of sadness and could only yield to Liang Yuansheng. Liang Yuansheng brought Liang Huaiji back to the house where they had lived as children. Liang Yuansheng had set up a memorial hall for their parents there.
He brought Liang Huaiji back not to force him to do anything, but simply to reunite with his family. Liang Huaiji looked at the spirit tablets of his family members, no longer able to suppress the sadness in his heart, and knelt before the memorial hall, weeping bitterly, thus acknowledging his identity. At dinner time, Liang Huaiji had not yet returned to the princess's residence.
Zhao Huirou was worried about Liang Huaiji, disregarding eating with Li Wei, and restlessly waited for Liang Huaiji to return home. She also asked Jiaqingzi to send Li Wei back. While tidying Li Wei's desk, Jiaqingzi saw the paintings Li Wei had drawn for Zhao Huirou, realizing that Li Wei truly had deep affection for Zhao Huirou. Zhao Huirou, however, had been continuously worried about Liang Huaiji's whereabouts.
After Liang Huaiji reunited with his family in the old house for a night and rushed back to the princess's residence in the morning, he then learned that Zhao Huirou had been waiting for him to return. He quickly went to see Zhao Huirou. Zhao Huirou, however, put on an angry face and sulked with Liang Huaiji. Liang Huaiji quickly offered her the roasted pork he bought for Zhao Huirou, which she wanted to eat.
Although Zhao Huirou was craving it, she still wanted to save face and sent the two maids out. Liang Huaiji promised Zhao Huirou that he would not make her worry again, and only then did he manage to cheer Zhao Huirou up. Zhao Zhen's consort Lady Dong became pregnant. Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, and the ministers also offered their congratulations to Zhao Zhen.
Wen Yanbo reported to Zhao Zhen that Bao Zheng had submitted a memorial impeaching Song Qi, the Commissioner of Finance. Zhao Zhen was somewhat puzzled. A few days ago, Bao Zheng had just impeached Zhang Fangping, who was then the Commissioner of Finance. After Zhang Fangping was dismissed, Song Qi took over. Now, Bao Zheng was impeaching Song Qi again.
Although the impeachment was well-founded and reasonable, Zhao Zhen felt a bit helpless, thinking that there was no Commissioner of Finance in the world who could avoid being impeached by Bao Zheng.
