Five years after Zhuang Yanhua married into the Marquis of Wu'an, her husband Wei Tingyu planned to adjust their status by taking advantage of his cousin's pregnancy. Zhuang Yanhua did not want to be subordinate to others, but Emperor Zhou Qinghuan witnessed the dispute and issued an order allowing her to reconcile. Afterwards, rumors spread in the capital, and Wei Tingyu was still concerned about her generous dowry and repeatedly persuaded her to give in. Just when everyone was not optimistic about her, the emperor solemnly hired her to join the palace. After entering the palace, Zhuang Yanhua successfully became pregnant, freed from the repressive past, and gained her own good relationship and stable home.
