The eldest princess, Zhao Yueli, waited for three years for her young uncle Wei Zhen, who was on an expedition, and refused seventeen times of marriage offers. However, what awaited him was the pregnant Aqiao, a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, who came back to court to propose marriage. She did not cry, agreed to the marriage in public, and chose Yan Xiu, the son of her archenemy, the dandy prime minister. Wei Zhen broke into the palace to defend himself, saying that the accident with Ah Qiao was responsible for the incident, but Zhao Yueli angrily rebuked him. Zhao Yueli and Yan Xiu reached a cooperative engagement, and the two met for a drink outside the palace, but were bumped into by Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen angrily rebuked them, and the conflict was about to break out. The suspicion of A Qiao's pregnancy was hidden, and the conflicts between the three people's emotions and positions intensified.
