Episode 9 recap: Yue Ling followed Qin Si Yuan to learn painting.
The Emperor and Zhou Shi Yu discussed the affairs of the border together. The Tashi tribe on the border frequently harassed the civilians, and the Emperor was worried that this would provoke an incident. He was also worried that the Prime Minister would not be able to restrain himself. Zhou Shi Yu knew that the Emperor wanted to completely control the military power and political power. He suggested cultivating their strength, and then striking decisively. Zhou Shi Yu personally went to Liuzhou to stockpile private troops and contact various forces to accumulate strength.
The Emperor knew that this was a perilous journey and was concerned for Zhou Shi Yu's safety, but Zhou Shi Yu had already made up his mind, because the war between East Yu and North Shuo would definitely implicate more innocent people. Yue Ling was always uneasy, and Xing Yi brought out all kinds of toys to cheer her up, but Yue Ling still couldn't get interested. When she saw a painting and found that the scene in the painting was very similar to East Yu, she immediately became interested.
Xing Yi introduced that the painter, Qin Si Yuan (the Perfect Gentleman), was very famous in the capital. Yue Ling also felt that the painter's skills were profound, and decided to visit him in person. Yue Ling took Xing Yi to visit Qin Si Yuan, but since she didn't understand painting, she could only make casual remarks. Hearing Yue Ling's praise for his painting technique, Qin Si Yuan immediately invited them in for tea.
Yue Ling was puzzled as to how Qin Si Yuan, who had never been to the grasslands, could paint such beautiful scenes. Qin Si Yuan then introduced the reference materials to everyone - it turned out that he painted based on the scenery in his own backyard. When Zhou Shi Yu learned that Yue Ling's group had gone to Qin Si Yuan's residence, he decided to go and greet them in person. After seeing Yue Ling and Qin Si Yuan together, he became jealous and mocked Qin Si Yuan's paintings as soulless. Yue Ling didn't understand why Zhou Shi Yu suddenly came, and decided to continue to follow Qin Si Yuan to learn painting.
The Southern King was gloomy because he didn't know how to separate the Northern King and the Princess. At this time, a subordinate reported that Yue Ling and the Northern King had gone out, so the Southern King immediately led his men to Nanfeng Garden. When he saw Qin Si Yuan, he abandoned his usual foolish demeanor and solemnly asked about his doubts. Qin Si Yuan, as his good friend, was willing to help him alleviate his worries.
Xing Yi brought weapons to see Su Nian and also let Ling Xi choose some. Su Nian was curious why Xing Yi didn't stay, and Xing Yi mentioned that Yue Ling had found the Perfect Gentleman Qin Si Yuan to paint at his residence, so he needed to go back and take a look.
Immediately, Su Nian became interested and claimed to admire Qin Si Yuan, regretting that he had never met Qin Si Yuan in person before.
The renowned painter in the capital, the Tenth Young Master, was very famous, and Yue Ling also felt that the painter's skill was profound, so she decided to visit him in person. Yue Ling took Xing Yi to visit the Tenth Young Master, but since she did not understand painting, she could only go along with whatever was said. The Tenth Young Master, Qin Si Yuan, heard Yue Ling's praise of his painting style and immediately invited them to come inside and have tea.

The Southern King was depressed because he did not know how to separate the Northern King and the Princess, and he even refused to eat. At this time, his subordinates reported that Yue Ling and the Northern King had gone out, and the Southern King immediately led his subordinates to the Southern Wind Garden. When he saw Qin Si Yuan, he shed his previous foolishness and instead inquired seriously about his doubts. Qin Si Yuan, being his friend, was willing to help him.
Xing Yi brought weapons to see Su Nian and also let Ling Xi choose some. Su Nian was curious why Xing Yi did not stay, and Xing Yi mentioned that Yue Ling had found the Tenth Young Master Qin Si Yuan at his residence to paint, so Xing Yi needed to go back and take a look.
Immediately, Su Nian became interested, claiming to admire Qin Si Yuan and lamenting that she had never seen him in person. Qin Si Yuan was teaching everyone to paint at the Northern King's residence, with Yue Ling and her brother, Su Nian, and others diligently painting in the courtyard, critiquing each other's work. At this time, the Southern King arrived with his own paintings, boasting that he was one of the best painters in the capital, but when the others saw his work, they mocked his painting skills.
Ling Xi secretly entered the residence and found the account book, then placed it in the Southern King's residence. While the Southern King was in the court, he presented the account book to the Emperor, accusing the Northern King of illegally opening an iron mine. The Northern King immediately mentioned the Southern King's sale of illegal salt, and the two began to attack each other in the court. The Emperor, seeing that they were first-time offenders, ordered them to receive twenty lashes and have their salaries reduced by half for six months.
Upon learning that the Northern King had been punished, Yue Ling immediately checked the account book, only to find that it was missing. Yue Ling did not understand who had stolen the book, and feeling guilty, she went to visit Zhou Shi Yu. However, when she saw Gao Luo Yi in the room, she hesitated. Lin Mu mentioned that the Northern King's wounds were severe, making Yue Ling even more distressed.
Yue Ling went to the room to see the Northern King, and Gao Luo Yi scolded her for only coming now. Zhou Shi Yu saw that it was late, so he had Lin Mu escort Yue Ling back to the palace. Yue Ling saw that Gao Luo Yi had brought medicine, so she hid her own medicines, feeling guilty for not protecting the account book.
At the same time, the Southern King's bottom was also badly beaten, and he was lying on the bed, howling in pain.
