Episode 11: Gossip about Mu Zhuohua and Shen Jinghong
People from the Hanlin Academy came to Xiaoqin Palace to celebrate, they laughed at Mu Zhuohua for sure he would not dare to come. They have already made up their minds, if Mu Zhuohua comes, they will feel that her Mu Tanhua is visiting brothels at night. Mu Zhuohua has self-knowledge, she knows that she is late and wants to punish herself with a few drinks. Shen Jinghong saw that she was a woman, he wanted to drink for Mu Zhuohua, but he didn’t expect Mu Zhuohua to drink with them himself.
Shen Jinghong felt that his worries were a little unnecessary, so he didn’t say much. Song Yun saw Mu Zhuohua surrounded by a group of people drinking, she quickly said that their boss had a collection of poems and wanted to invite Mu Zhuohua to take a look, Mu Zhuohua got up and pulled Shen Jinghong to read it together.
The rest of the people were unwilling. They felt that today’s banquet was just to celebrate them. They both left one by one. Didn’t this spoil their fun? Seeing this situation, Shen Jinghong had no choice but to stay and let Mu Zhuohua leave. They still didn’t want Mu Zhuohua to stay with him.
Shen Jinghong deliberately said that they didn’t want to drink with him, which made those people let go Mu Zhuohua. Liu Ju invited Liu Yan to drink tea. In fact, the two discussed the battle situation in Beiliang. Liu Yan told Liu Ju his thoughts, and Liu Ju also agreed with him very much. Song Yun brought Mu Zhuohua sobering soup, and she asked Mu Zhuohua if he was really not dizzy.
Mu Zhuohua told Song Yun that she was actually a little dizzy, but she had just entered the Imperial Academy, and their old fritters just wanted to make a fool of herself, so she must not follow their wishes. Song Yun asked Mu Zhuohua if she had a sweetheart, and Mu Zhuohua told her that she focused on officialdom and had not considered it. Song Yun felt that Shen Jinghong cared very much for Mu Zhuohua, and Mu Zhuohua told her that he would never have a sweetheart.
As soon as Mu Zhuohua came out of the door of Song Yun’s room, he met Shen Jinghong. The two of them were misunderstood to have a private meeting in Xiao Qin Palace. Soon the news reached the ears of Princess Roujia and Liu Yan. Princess Roujia didn’t believe this rumor at all. She thought that both of them were thinking about the officialdom now, and Liu Yan felt the same way.
He believed that Mu Zhuohua only wanted to be an official, but Nan Chen had always been a woman who could not be an official after getting married. Mu Zhuohua would not give up being an official because of this. Liu Yan asked Zhijian to let out the news that they were going to have peace talks with Dongxia, so Beiliang would definitely get involved in this matter. Mu Zhuohua was ostracized everywhere in the Hanlin Academy.
Mu Zhuohua came to receive his meal, but was told that there was no food, even though there was food in the lunch box. Shen Jinghong came over quickly after hearing this. The maid who distributed the food saw Shen Jinghong coming, and she quickly gave the food to Shen Jinghong. However, Shen Jinghong gave the food to Mu Zhuohua, and the maid left angrily after seeing it.
Mu Zhuohua thought that he had just told the prince that he admired him, and now there were rumors about him and Shen Jinghong. She came to see Liu Yan, hoping to explain clearly to him. Liu Yan didn’t want to see him, so he asked his servants to send Mu Zhuohua away. Mu Zhuohua asked Guo Juli to use a bow to destroy the carriage where Liu Yan passed by. She pretended not to know and stopped Liu Yan.
Liu Yan asked her why she kept blocking him. Mu Zhuohua told him that those rumors were false and she told the prince not to be angry. Mu Zhuohua explained the ins and outs of the matter to Liu Yan. She hoped that Liu Yan would not misunderstand her. Liu Yan told her that she knew it. Mu Zhuohua wanted to explain so much whether he understood it or not.
Mu Zhuohua started to give lectures to the princes, and she wanted to teach them about geography. Liu Chen just didn’t like her, so he said critically that Mu Zhuohua didn’t bring a book with his lectures, and Mu Zhuohua told him that he had memorized everything he said. Liu Chen asked Mu Zhuohua to start giving lectures, he wanted to see what Mu Zhuohua had real talents. Mu Zhuohua talked about his professional knowledge for a while, except for Liu Chen, the other two princes agreed with what she said.
The two princes laughed at Liu Chen and the others for their incompetence, and Liu Chen and the others quarreled over it. Seeing that the First Prince and the Third Prince were about to fight, Mu Zhuohua was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
