Episode 3 recap: Pei Xun became the Crown Prince.

Pei Xun had someone inquire about it and found out that the man was Yu Minghe. The matchmaker came to Liu Yueqing's house to propose a marriage and thought that Yu Minghe was exceptional and very stable, making him a perfect match for Liu Yueqing. Liu Yueqing's mother informed her about this, and Liu Yueqing immediately agreed. Her mother thought it was a short acquaintance, but Liu Yueqing listed Yu Minghe's qualities and felt that he was suitable. Liu Yueqing's mother advised her to maintain some modesty as a young girl.

Liu Yueqing's father returned from the palace looking depressed. Her mother quickly asked what was wrong, and it turned out that Pei Xun had been appointed as the Crown Prince that day. Liu Yueqing's father felt regretful, thinking that he had missed out on a good marriage opportunity. Liu Yueqing never expected that Pei Xun would succeed in life and realized that she was not destined to become a Crown Prince's consort.

After Pei Xun became the Crown Prince, many people came to congratulate him. Some of the gifts they brought were still wet, indicating their surprise at Pei Xun's ascension. Yu Minghe's father also came, and when Pei Xun met him, he mentioned Yu Minghe and asked about his current position. Yu Minghe's father revealed that Yu Minghe had not entered officialdom. Pei Xun expressed his desire to meet Yu Minghe if there was an opportunity.

Pei Xun planned to host a banquet for the ministers and ordered his subordinates to send an invitation to the Liu family, ensuring that Liu Yueqing would also attend.
