Episode 13 recap: Mu Zhuo Hua as the receptionist.
His Royal Highness came to see Liu Yan and was criticized by her. Liu Yan felt that as the eldest son, he should have avoided making mistakes, but he was so impulsive. Mu Zhuo Hua's injury had almost healed, so she came to bid farewell to Liu Yan. His Royal Highness felt that Mu Zhuo Hua had saved him and wanted to fulfill one of her wishes. However, Mu Zhuo Hua didn't make any requests. Mu Zhuo Hua proposed to go back, and Liu Yan agreed, telling her to go back and rest well.
They discussed the matter of the receptionist, and Liu Yan thought Mu Zhuo Hua could handle it. The Empress Dowager mentioned that the role of the receptionist was related to the reputation of the Southern Chen Dynasty and should not be taken lightly. Liu Yan expressed her belief that Mu Zhuo Hua was capable of handling it. The Empress Dowager pointed out that Mu Zhuo Hua had little experience, and if she made any mistakes, it would reflect on Liu Yan.
Mu Zhuo Hua and Princess Rou Jia drank together. Princess Rou Jia mentioned that Liu Yan used her own merits to exchange for the opportunity to participate in the Women's Grace Examination and was also very concerned about Mu Zhuo Hua. Princess Rou Jia asked about Mu Zhuo Hua's family and mentioned that she had many sisters. Mu Zhuo Hua replied that whether she had sisters or not, it made no difference. Princess Rou Jia offered to be her sister, but Mu Zhuo Hua thought that if the Empress Dowager knew, she would definitely be unhappy. Princess Rou Jia commented that someone like the Empress Dowager, who didn't come from a long line of distinguished families, wouldn't catch her eye.
When Mu Zhuo Hua returned home, she met Liu Yan and knew that Liu Yan had helped her. She offered to invite Liu Yan for a meal and took Liu Yan to her house. Mu Zhuo Hua felt that Liu Yan spoiled her and even gave her money to spend, treating her better than her own father. Liu Yan replied that he couldn't possibly have such a grown-up daughter. Mu Zhuo Hua suggested that she could help Liu Yan have a daughter.
Mu Zhuo Hua felt that Liu Yan had a noble status, but she herself didn't have the courage to go through hardships in order to seek the truth for thirty thousand soldiers. She believed that Liu Yan was the best leader and promised to follow and assist him.
Liu Yan asked Mu Zhuo Hua if he would treat her the same way if she were not a princess. Mu Zhuo Hua said that when they first met, she mistook him for a servant and was kind to him. Liu Yan believed that Mu Zhuo Hua never looked down on those of low status, but if she were not a princess, Mu Zhuo Hua would probably treat her with even more sincerity.
Liu Yan asked Mu Zhuo Hua to come to her tomorrow and teach her the script of Beiliang. Liu Yan draped a cloak over Mu Zhuo Hua and advised her not to drink so much in front of others in the future. The next day, Mu Zhuo Hua overslept but quickly arrived at Liu Yan's place. Liu Yan learned that Mu Zhuo Hua didn't remember what happened yesterday and didn't say anything about it. Mu Zhuo Hua learned a lot of Beiliang script in the study, with Liu Yan personally teaching her. Liu Yan got close to Mu Zhuo Hua, causing her to lose focus. Guo Ju Li brought food and invited Zhi Mo to join them. After studying for a while, Liu Yan tested Mu Zhuo Hua and found that she only made one mistake, indicating that she passed the assessment.
Liu Yan brought food to Mu Zhuo Hua and talked about her family, believing that with Mu Zhuo Hua's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for her to make her father like her. Mu Zhuo Hua said that if she made her father like her, she would face jealousy from her stepmother and stepsisters. If she made her stepmother and stepsisters like her, there would be many obligations, and she wouldn't be able to focus on her studies.
Rou Jia Gong Zhu dreamed about the time when she followed Zhen Guo Da Chang Gong Zhu to Jiangnan when she was a child. She also dreamed that someone told her they would never leave her and would always protect her. A maid asked Rou Jia Gong Zhu if she had a nightmare, and Rou Jia Gong Zhu said it was just a fleeting dream.
Now Shen Jing Hong has arrived at the Ministry of Revenue. The Crown Prince stated that the Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the affairs of the post house, and he has reported Shen Jing Hong's name, expecting him to take good care of the Beiliang delegation. The Crown Prince expressed high expectations for Shen Jing Hong and urged him not to disappoint his hopes.
