On a stormy night, Hua Yi, the old man of the Yushi Hua family, was writing a letter on the boat. Suddenly, a strong wind came and the water flooded the boat. The sails needed to be lowered immediately at the critical moment. However, the hired boys went on strike due to wage issues. Seeing this, the young Without thinking, Huazhi picked up the dagger on the ground and climbed up the mast, cutting the canvas and saving everyone.
The Shen family will come to make a betrothal ceremony the next day, but Huazhi is not in a hurry while maid Bao Xia is in a hurry. Hua Zhi tells Bao Xia that even if they get married, they must insist on doing their own things. Huazhi looked at the walls of the surrounding houses and felt as if she was in a prison. At this time, another maid of Huazhi came to greet the spring. She told Huazhi that everyone was waiting in Chengyuan to give peach charms from the palace. Huazhi was very excited after hearing this, and went to the west corner gate with Bao Xia and Ying Chun. Uncle Zhong has been waiting there for a long time in his carriage. Huazhi told Yingchun to guard the corner door, while she and Baoxia got into the carriage and went out.
The Chengyuan was bustling with excitement. In the room opposite the stage, the third lady of the Hua family, Xia Jin'e, was asking her servants to pay the bills. Suddenly she realized that the charcoal basins in front of her were too dense, so she asked the servants to move the charcoal basins, and they happened to be placed in the Hua family's room. In front of the second lady Qi Huilan and the eldest lady of the Hua family Zhu Yingzhen, although Zhu Yingzhen wanted to go out for some air, Qi Huilan made trouble with the old lady, so she gave up the idea instantly. Qi Huilan turned around and asked the fourth lady Wu Yuniang. Wu Yuniang said it was a bit hot, so Qi Huilan asked the maid Zhegui to open the window. When Xia Jin'e saw this, she simply asked her to open the window completely. Because Taofu arrived at night, Lin Wan, the old lady of the Hua family, watched the show with everyone and waited.
Qisuwei Chen Qing led the patrol to search the streets, and after discovering Huazhi's drawings in the copper shop, they stopped the carriage that Huazhi was riding in. Women in the boudoir should not be exposed in public, but Chen Qing pressed forward step by step. Shen Qi, the eldest son of the Shen family, was aggrieved, but He was forcibly thrown aside by the patrolman. Shen Qi refused to accept it, and Chen Qing drew his sword. At the critical moment, Gu Yanxi protected Shen Qi behind him. He saw that the drawing showed Xiangfeng Tongwu, but Shen Qi suspected Gu Yanxi's identity and wanted to take him back to Qisusi. Hua Zhi knew very well how powerful Qisu Si was and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to defend Gu Yanxi. After revealing his identity, Chen Qing apologized to Huazhi again and again. Hua Zhi envied Gu Yanxi for coming from the north, and lamented that she had never seen Luoxue again in the four years since she came to the imperial capital.
The officials summoned him late at night, and Hua Yizheng and his eldest son Hua Pingyu put on their official uniforms and went. In Chengyuan, the ladies were still enjoying the acrobatic performance. Xia Jin'e reported to Lin Wan about Hua Zhi's engagement, and took the opportunity to be weird and mock Hua Zhi. Only then did Lin Wan realize that Huazhi was missing in the room. A servant reminded her that Huazhi had gone out. Lin Wan was furious.
Daqing Emperor Gu Chengtao summoned Gu Yanxi, the crown prince of Prince Ling, late at night and told him that he had something to listen to tonight. In the main hall, Gu Chengtao talked about the private casting case of Li Chu and Qisu Sicha. This time, Hua Yizheng, who had always dared to speak out, was uncharacteristically silent on both matters. Gu Chengtao was curious, but Hua Yi bluntly stated that this was His Majesty's private matter, and it didn't matter whether he remonstrated or not. Gu Chengtao was displeased. He founded the Qisu Division by himself, and King Hui Gu Yanrui and King Xian Gu Yangong were his biological sons. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a private matter. The atmosphere gradually became tense, but Hua Yizheng was not afraid at all. He said frankly that Qisu Si ignored the national law and carried out indiscriminate executions. Moreover, the position of the crown prince was still undecided. The princes were fighting endlessly. For the sake of the country and the country, they should make a decision as soon as possible. In this way, these two Everything is a world matter and not the emperor's private matter. Gu Chengtao was furious, and dismissed Hua Yizheng and the other three clans from their official positions on the grounds that Hua Yizheng was inciting the world's scholars. The whole family was exiled to the north, never to be renewed. Gu Chengtao announced to Qi Su Si Shi Qi Ru Hai Dian, Qi Ru Hai said that the mastermind behind the private casting case was Gu Yanxi.
