Episode 4 recap: Mei Kaishao deliberately failed to be selected as the Crown Prince's consort.
Mei Kaishao performed a set of martial arts in her costume, but the Emperor was very dissatisfied. He thought she was too active. Although the Empress Dowager liked Mei Kaishao, she also believed that she was not suitable for the Crown Prince. While the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, Murong Hanbing also relaxed and left the selection scene. Eighth Prince Murong Zhao, on the other hand, liked Mei Kaishao very much and kept praising her in front of Murong Hanbing. Murong Hanbing listed the reasons why Mei Kaishao was unsuitable, but Murong Zhao found himself increasingly fond of Mei Kaishao as he watched her leave. However, he didn't dare to say he liked her again when he saw Murong Hanbing's icy expression.
Mei Kaishao was satisfied with being eliminated and happily rode in a carriage on her way back. Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped and taken to the outskirts along the way. The sound of the carriage rushing out of the city caught Murong Hanbing's curiosity, and he followed with his guards. In order to protect herself, Mei Kaishao lied and claimed to be associated with Murong Hanbing. Murong Hanbing couldn't help but smile, and he ordered his subordinates to rescue Mei Kaishao.
Mei Kaishao looked at the person who came to her rescue and took the opportunity to escape. However, she accidentally fell, but luckily Murong Hanbing caught her in mid-air. When Mei Kaishao woke up, she found herself sleeping in a carriage. She asked the coachman and learned that she had been saved by Murong Hanbing and his servant. She couldn't help but lament her weak body, as she often fainted at the slightest provocation.
After Mei Kaishao returned from the failed selection, Zhang Shi pretended to care and stewed bird's nest for her. However, Mei Kaishao was not grateful. In fact, it was Zhang Shi who arranged for someone to kill Mei Kaishao. Knowing that the plan had failed, she devised another plan.
