Accompanied by Butler De of the Shen family, Shen Zhenzhu, disguised as a man, took her personal maid Hong Rui and went to Xianyang. The famous Drunken Immortal Tower, renowned far and wide, produces only one jar of Drunken Immortal Elder wine a year. This wine is refreshing, sweet, and rarely seen in the world.
In the martial arts world, there is a "Know-it-all" who knows everything under heaven and can answer any question from people, but his whereabouts are uncertain. However, this Know-it-all has a special fondness for fine wine, especially the Drunken Immortal Elder wine. As long as someone obtains the Drunken Immortal Elder, the Know-it-all will seek out its scent, and the person holding the wine will get a chance to ask him a question.
Shen Zhenzhu, disguised as a man, arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower. The rule of the Drunken Immortal Tower was that whoever could win first place in the poetry competition would get to take away the bottle of Drunken Immortal Elder. Shen Zhenzhu, full of talent, outshone everyone and won the competition. However, unexpectedly, Prince Guangping Li Chu suddenly appeared halfway through. He adapted Li Bai's poetry, won the competition, and took away the Drunken Immortal Elder wine.
Shen Zhenzhu refused to give up. She wanted to ask the Know-it-all about her savior, so she rode after Li Chu, hoping to get the wine back. However, she accidentally stumbled upon Li Chu being chased by assassins. Even though Li Chu was skilled, he was outnumbered. Fortunately, Shen Zhenzhu arrived in time. In the nick of time, she rode her horse to rescue Li Chu, galloping to a bathhouse.
The assassins were still in pursuit, so Li Chu and Shen Zhenzhu swapped clothes and hid in the water. Seeing that Shen Zhenzhu could not hold her breath any longer and they were about to be exposed, Li Chu kissed Shen Zhenzhu. He only released her after the assassins had left. Shen Zhenzhu slapped Li Chu. Li Chu did not understand why this 'Brother Shen' in front of him was as shy as a girl.
However, Li Chu was grateful for Shen Zhenzhu's life-saving grace and knew that Shen Zhenzhu also wanted to find the Know-it-all, so he took her along. After their discussion, they decided that each of them would ask the Know-it-all half a question. Shen Zhenzhu and Li Chu separately questioned the Know-it-all. Shen Zhenzhu learned that the jade pendant should be from the Huihe imperial court.
Li Chu, on the other hand, learned that the Shen family had intricate connections with the Dugu family, the King of Yunnan, who commanded an army of a million and wielded immense power. Therefore, he sent a message to his father, asking his father to help him bring the daughter of the Shen family into Prince Guangping's mansion.
Li Heng knew that Li Chu always acted prudently and understood that no matter what, he should strive to help his son. " "" Shen Zhenzhu returned to Chang'an and went to Jishe Tang to meet her good friend, who was like a sister to her—Murong Linzhi, the daughter of General Murong.
Murong Linzhi was also participating in this imperial selection, but unlike Shen Zhenzhu's firm attitude of not wanting to enter the palace, Murong Linzhi seemed to have no aversion to entering the palace. On the day of the selection, Cui Caiping, Imperial Consort Yang's niece, arrived late. As soon as she entered, she leveraged the identities of her aunt Yang Yuhuan and uncle Yang Guozhong, demanding to be ranked first.
The eunuch in charge knew he could not afford to offend her, so he had no choice but to agree. The selection required displaying skills in qin (zither), qi (Go), shu (calligraphy), and hua (painting). Murong Linzhi took it seriously, while Shen Zhenzhu, who had no desire to enter the palace, deliberately hid her abilities. Cui Caiping, who knew nothing, brought out her pre-prepared calligraphy and embroidery to make up the numbers.
