Episode 21 recap: Luo Qing Lian returned to the residence of the young master.

The women believed that Luo Qing Lian, with a face so strikingly similar to the late queen, must be a coveted target for numerous factions. Luo Qing Lian thought to herself that if it had been Lady Cefu or Madam Cefu kneeling outside the Ge Garden instead of her, who would dare not inform He Lian Xin? It was her own powerlessness that led to this situation. She was determined to protect her second child.

Lv Bei Yi told Luo Qing Lian about these matters, and she asked him why he had deceived her. Lv Bei Yi admitted that he couldn't bear to do it before. Luo Qing Lian asked if he was now willing to do it.

Lv Bei Yi expressed his remorse, but Luo Qing Lian had already made her decision in her heart. Lv Bei Yi believed that it was time for Luo Qing Lian to return. When He Lian Xin heard that Luo Qing Lian had awakened, he was overjoyed and hurried to see her.

He Lian Xin mentioned that Luo Qing Lian had been sleeping for a long time. Luo Qing Lian felt that it was precisely because of this that she had understood many things and realized how much she wanted He Lian Xin. She confessed that there were many things she wanted to do but couldn't, including hating He Lian Xin. He Lian Xin wanted to take Luo Qing Lian back, and Yao Madam also learned about this. Luo Qing Lian went to see Yao Madam and acknowledged that they had been enemies, but regardless of whether they liked it or not, they had spent two years together.

Luo Qing Lian gave fish food to Yao Madam, who felt that Luo Qing Lian was asking her to endure like a fish. However, Luo Qing Lian was different from her because Luo Qing Lian had He Lian Xin's affection.

Madam Rou and the others were waiting for Luo Qing Lian to return. Madam Rou felt that Nan Ru Zhen's behavior had become too calm, which made her anxious. He Lian Xin returned with Luo Qing Lian, but to their surprise, a maid from Madam De's side came and said that Madam De stated that Luo Qing Lian was an ominous person and could not come back here.

Luo Qing Lian went to meet Madam De, who believed that Luo Qing Lian, with a face so strikingly similar to the late queen, must be a coveted target for numerous factions. She was determined not to let him harm He Lian Xin. Madam De regarded Luo Qing Lian as an ominous person, and even the prince regarded him highly, though he hadn't visited her for five years.

The prince called Luo Qing Lian over and felt that his favorite thing about her was her calmness no matter what happened. Luo Qing Lian saw the prince tending to a potted flower and felt that the flower was truly fortunate to receive the prince's personal care.

The prince thought the flower was too delicate, unable to withstand the sun, and would wither before reaching full bloom in midsummer. He felt it was a waste of his efforts. Luo Qing Lian sensed that the prince was not really talking about the flower but referring to the crown prince. The prince was delighted to see Luo Qing Lian and had wine brought over to share with her.

Luo Qing Lian was about to leave and told the prince that there were many women in the mansion, but they were not as good as they used to be. The prince went to see Madam De, which made her very happy. A maid informed Luo Qing Lian that she no longer needed to stay here, and Madam De had even helped secure the prince's approval to promote Luo Qing Lian to Concubine Shu.

Recently, He Lian Xin had been looking for Luo Qing Lian, but she avoided meeting him. In reality, Luo Qing Lian was pregnant but didn't want He Lian Xin to know. She instructed the maid to bury the remnants of the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine in the courtyard, making sure no one else found out.

Madam Rou asked Luo Qing Lian about her thoughts. Luo Qing Lian believed that if it had been Lady Cefu or Madam Cefu kneeling outside the Ge Garden instead of her, who would dare not inform He Lian Xin? It was her own powerlessness that led to this situation. She was determined to protect her second child.

Luo Qing Lian mentioned that she had already discovered that Nan Ru Zhen was actually the Fourth Young Master's person, but she didn't have evidence yet, so she hadn't told He Lian Xin. Luo Qing Lian felt that she would soon have an opportunity.
