> The Trust Recap
Xu Yu and Xiao Jinyun swore not to doubt each other anymore, but Xiao Jinming suddenly appeared and disrupted the atmosphere. The three of them went to Zhai Xing Ge together. After seeing it, Xu Youran confirmed that the black crystal brought back from the northern border by Xu Yu would need some more time to exchange for her body. Xu Youran and Xiao Jinming told Xu Yu that they had captured a spy in the capital, just below Zhai Xing Ge. Xiao Jinyun decided to stay put, while Xu Yu decided to return him a stable court.
Xu Yu granted the title of Duke to her family, which caused dissatisfaction among many elderly officials in the court. Duke Hengshan even spoke out and accused her of wrongdoing. Xiao Jinyun had already advised Xu Yu on this matter, but she seemed to have forgotten it. The criticism from the court officials today angered Xu Yu greatly, but Xiao Jinyun remained calm and confident that Xu Yu could still handle them.
Xu's father came to see Xu Yu and rebuked her for taking it upon herself to grant titles. Xu Yu quickly explained that it was Xiao Jinyun's idea. Xiao Jinyun appeared to help Xu Yu out and Xu's father found out about their body swap. They didn't hide it anymore. Xiao Jinyun said that with this title, Xu's older brother and second brother could marry and have children soon. After Xu's father left, Xu Yu and Xiao Jinyun began to bicker again. Wu Du saw that they were getting along and was pleased. Xu Yu and Xiao Jinyun planned to go for a walk in the back garden. When they arrived at the back garden, Xiao Jinyun dismissed the attendants and Pei Xinzhu heard from Wu Du that the lord and lady of the castle were happily in love, but she was blocked from going to the back garden by them.
Xiao Jinyun planned to cancel this year's imperial examination since Xu Yu had never been fond of studying. However, Xu Yu insisted on keeping it. Xiao Jinyun helped Xu Yu study, but she fell asleep after a while. Xiao Jinyun then asked Xiao Jinming to take care of the court affairs for a period of time, which made Xiao Jinming feel aggrieved. Pei Xinzhu complained to the queen mother again, but she was advised to focus on the lord to win a man's heart and to seek guidance from her two aunts. Pei Xinzhu obediently followed her advice.
Xu Yu was being pressured by Xiao Jinyun to recite a book, but despite racking her brain, she couldn't come up with anything. Xiao Jinyun had to take Xu Yu out to the temple fair. As they were walking on the street, they coincidentally met Xu Dage. Xu Dage was there to listen to discussions about books and current affairs in a teahouse, and Xu Yu suddenly became interested and followed him in. In the teahouse, they overheard some scholars who came to the capital to take the imperial examination discussing politics. Xu Yu was quite calm and expressed that the current emperor is a progressive ruler.
In a few days, the palace examination will be held. Xiao Jinyun grabbed Xiao Jinming to review official documents, and also caught Xu Yu to recite books. Xu Yu had boasted before, but now had to recite books well under Xiao Jinyun's pressure. Wu Du came to deliver soup to them and mentioned their childhood memories playing together with Xiao Jingle. Xiao Jinming and Xu Yu became interested, but were pinched by Xiao Jinyun.
On the day of the palace examination, Xu Yu forgot all the words that Xiao Jinyun had arranged for her to recite. She decided to change the topic at the last minute. Xiao Jinyun, who was behind the screen, heard what Xu Yu said and couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.
