Liu Ran finally felt that she was in charge and back on her turf again.
The scene of Xue Yun'e poisoning Consort Rong should have been filmed today but it was temporarily postponed because of Tang Qing's visit.
They filmed the main scene instead.
Zhuang Heng played the desert prince who provoked the emperor and vied with him for the character played by Liu Ran, during the reception banquet.
The prince of the desert, Ge'er, and Zhou Pinyun met a long time ago. When Ge'er was injured in an accident, it was Zhou Pinyun who saved him.
Hence, he vowed to marry her.
At the reception banquet, the empress Xue Yun'e wanted to show her prowess in front of Zhou Pinyun but was insulted by Ge'er.
Liu Ran was looking forward to the scene of Zhuang Heng teaching Yan Jinyi a lesson.
In the grand and opulent hall, a group of courtiers were sitting on both sides of the hall.
