Episode 20 recap: "Zhao Ruoqi entertained the princess.
Chen Gong, who was by the side of the Queen, rolled over and said that since Zhao Ruoqi had already been bestowed the title of concubine, there was something suitable for him to do. The envoys from the Kingdom of Lanyue had arrived, bringing along two princesses. They were concerned that the two princesses might feel bored in the palace, so they asked Zhao Ruoqi to accompany them. Zhao Ruoqi suggested that Consort Xuan and Liu Rufan should go together with her if they wanted to keep the princesses entertained. Chen Gong agreed with the suggestion.
With the two princesses present, the elder princess favored martial arts, while the second princess enjoyed playing the flute. The second princess took out a flute and proposed that they both play the same tune. If they played the wrong notes, it would signify insincerity, and they would have to apologize to each other while kneeling. Liu Rufan, who could play the flute, offered to give it a try. They played a piece together without any mistakes, and the second princess had nothing more to say.
The elder princess took out a bow and arrow, suggesting that they should both hit the same target to demonstrate sincerity. Consort Xuan came over and joined the elder princess in archery. The elder princess doubted whether Consort Xuan truly belonged to Dongzhao, but Consort Xuan stated that since she had married into Dongzhao, she was now one of them. The elder princess and Consort Xuan then took out a pair of dice and asked Zhao Ruoqi to guess the outcome.
Zhao Ruoqi guessed "big," but she lost. The national teacher took away the bracelet from Zhao Ruoqi's hand and discovered that there was an immortal officer trapped inside. It turned out that the officer had been helping all along and had been trapped there."
