Banquet and evil intentions

The visiting princess is spy Feng’s penpal. She snuck out to visit him and had a decoy in the carriage. The Marquis had Prince Ding part of banquet to have him wait at the gate extra hours by giving them the wrong time and having him confronted by the general that injured his leg. Home team is making a bad impression. The scholar is an arrogant ass and Ye Li pretty straightforwardly said as much. The princess is amused by her and Empress Dowager was pleased with her words. The visiting general wants martial arts challenges and kicking the behinds of home team. The first deserved it as he was a braggart of his military prowess looking down on Xiu Yao. I was glad the general told him he wasn’t half the fighter his father was. The second didn’t fare much better. An emergency letter arrives that Cangbai colluded with Zhang HengYuan to try to kill Zhong Xingtong for the Marquis.The Emperor tells the prince to wait and speak with him. It looks like next episode Ye Li will put General in his place and Prince Ding will finally get to kick some ass. His wife will be quite proud.

Vacationing in Chengdu

Yi Fei gets to see the same graphs from Qian Fei’s report. Ms Fang changed it up by wanting his company to sign a contract of responsibility. This would leave his firm holding the bag for anything inappropriately handled in accounting. She is hoping to out fraudulent party, win the account and have Yi Fei’s company out entirely by being the investigate party. I wonder how far the history goes with Fang and YiFei. They both are well aware of each other’s tactics and dislike each other. Qian Fei was told she didn’t measure up to be on her team and could get a bonus for providing data. Qian Fei didn’t except payment and plans to head to Chengdu to find more data. I thought YiFei was faking it to get out of meeting early. I guess he wasn’t.🤣 His assistant deserves a raise.🤣 He also heads to Chengdu. Records at the company didn’t go anywhere as all parties concerned resigned. They found one employee but he was not interested in getting involved. They did help with the boys a bit and softened the dad up to them, but they are returning with nothing new to add. YiFei is telling ghost stories as they drive along and the episode ends. I wonder if Ms Fang has OCD where she has to wash her hands a certain number of times and germaphobic. She seems fickle about her treatment of people and I really don’t want her as Qian Fei’s boss. She is more like a what have you done for me today type of boss and she has too good a work ethic to settle for that. Plus she would still have mean girl and uncle to deal with. I like that he left business class to give her study notes. Waiting for her to choose to work with him. He will have to start a workout regimen to offset her cooking skills.😂🤣 Gamer friend is claiming he has a gf now. His parents are all kinds of nosy. 🤣😂 This cast interacts well to show office and family/friends dynamics. All the characters are believable with no weak links.

A promise of mercy and the thrill of missions

That conversation between Haixia and Haiqi was so sad. To spare her from the pain of killing him, he asked her to let him do that himself once the time comes. 🥺💔 They really have a special bond. Way deeper than the one she has with Hailou, I think.And they still haven't revealed anything about Haixia's condition to Hailou. He has his own observations, which, I might add, were very hard not to notice, but I know his heart will break when he learns what fate awaits Haixia. 😢😭The mission was, as always, delightful. Hailou made a little chaos, Haixia saved him by marvellously entering the scene on horseback, and later they both came up with a plan to lure the target... at least this time, for the most part, it was somewhat calculated rather than full improvisation. 😌 Loved to see the boys working together and in action again! 🤭🔥
