Episode 7 recap: The White Yue organization carried out disaster relief, and Nangong Yao and Mei Yushen participated in a fan competition.
Mei Yushen returned to the manor alone, and on the way she saw a shaky shadow, which frightened her and made her stand still. Nangong Yao suddenly came to her side to encourage her, and Mei Yushen took a few steps forward, only to find that the shadow she had seen was just a cat. When Nangong Yao saw the cat more clearly, he was so scared that he jumped onto Mei Yushen's back, shouting that he had been scratched by cats since he was little and was afraid of them. Mei Yushen laughed uncontrollably, as the Nangong Yao who had just declared himself fearless was so terrified by a cat.
Mei Yushen returned to the Chongwen Academy, where Bai Ye and three other young ladies were chatting. The three praised Bai Ye's outstanding temperament and broad knowledge. Bai Ye could only respond with some polite words. When Mei Yushen returned, Bai Ye ran over to give her a gift, and Mei Yushen was very excited, as it was the first time in her life she had received a gift. Bai Ye took out a night sky map that shimmered under the moonlight, as if the stars had fallen beside them, turning the entire courtyard into a beautiful mini-galaxy. Mei Yushen was overjoyed, and Bai Ye was also satisfied to see that the gift had pleased her.
Nangong Yao went to the palace to report on his academic progress. The Empress hoped that Nangong Yao would complete his studies early and return to the court to assist with official duties. Nangong Yao said that the Chongwen Academy had opened new courses, and he wanted to continue studying for a while. The Empress was pleased to see her son's dedication to his studies, but reminded him to also attend to his court duties, as the disaster victims in Baiyang had not yet been properly settled, and the overall situation should be the priority.
Nangong Yao planned to implement a job recruitment program for the disaster victims, but someone was obstructing it and inciting the victims to cause trouble. Nangong Yao felt perplexed, and Bai Ye expressed willingness to go and do ideological work with the victims to help Nangong Yao. The next morning, Mei Yushen skipped class to prepare to go out, but was stopped by Xing Shi. She could only pluck a leaf and whistle in the courtyard, and Nangong Yao happened to pass by and started imitating her. The Empress came to the Chongwen Academy to find out why her son was reluctant to leave, and saw Mei Yushen teaching Nangong Yao to whistle with a leaf. She also heard Mei Yushen speak in a rude and impolite manner, which made her begin to feel dissatisfied, thinking that Mei Yushen had led her son to become frivolous.
As soon as White Ye's recruitment notice was posted, it immediately attracted many disaster victims. Little Douzi's three godfather figures also wanted to find a job, so they went to inquire about the notice. Originally, the relief unit was only open to those from Lantian, but White Ye heard that many surrounding areas had also been affected to varying degrees, so he relaxed the geographical restrictions. Xing Shi stood by the side maintaining order, and seeing the three men enthusiastically interested, he suddenly remembered having seen them acting suspiciously at the museum before. White Ye drafted a contract agreement so that each applicant could receive labor protection, and the disaster victims eagerly signed up.
After arranging the order on site, Xing Shi hurried back to the Chongwen Hall to teach the students physical education. Finally, they reached the part that Mei Yushan excelled at - walking on the balance beam. Mei Yushan twice pretended to almost fall, frightening her maid who stuck closely by her side and dared not leave. Little Douzi's real concern was for his own body, and seeing the maid's devotion to her mistress, Zhuang Yangyang enviously had Little Que imitate her.
When it was Zhuang Yangyang's turn, Little Que didn't pay attention at all, causing Zhuang Yangyang to fall heavily to the ground. Little Douzi was focused on watching Mei Yushan, and Nan Gong Pin mistakenly thought he was admiring himself, so he couldn't help but show off to the Second Prince about how he had attracted such a talented maid. After the first round of training, Mei Yushan and Nan Gong Yao ranked at the top, and Nan Gong Yao suggested another round of trying to pluck the embroidered ball.
The two of them climbed up the tall pole together, and Mei Yushan accidentally stepped into the void. Nan Gong Yao hurriedly caught her, and they fell to the ground together. Although he lost the competition, he was inwardly delighted.
