Episode 11 recap: Pei Wen Xuan confessed his love to Li Rong in the rain.

Li Chuan came to find Qin Zhen Zhen, he just missed Qin Zhen Zhen. Li Chuan talked about his mother wanting to choose a crown princess for him, and Qin Zhen Zhen said Li Chuan must have been dazzled. Li Chuan also expressed his feelings to Qin Zhen Zhen, hoping they could be together forever, but these are not things they can decide directly. Qin Zhen Zhen actually just wants a simple relationship between the two of them, but Li Chuan is the crown prince, which can never be changed.

The two of them also went to the river to have a duel, and both were very happy, but this beautiful day had to end. Li Chuan still needs to go back to the palace to complete more tasks. Qin Zhen Zhen asked him if he believes in the things in the novels, but Li Chuan said he only believes in human effort, which was also a way of expressing his attitude to Qin Zhen Zhen.

After Shang Guan Ya entered the palace, Li Rong quickly made an excuse to call her aside. In fact, Shang Guan Ya also did not like Li Chuan, so this time Li Rong hoped the two of them would not promote this relationship, after all, the ending was not so perfect for them.

Li Rong now needs to deliberately cause trouble to make this selection of the crown princess not so successful, and of course Qin Zhen Zhen has also come along this time. Li Rong wants to see Qin Zhen's true attitude, after all, the position of crown princess must be carefully considered.

Thinking of the order of ranking in the past, they are now making fragrant sachets. Li Rong, in order to have his mother's idea succeed, Shang Guan Ya is also very smart and deliberately leaves the one with Taidi on the ground, taking the opportunity to exchange sachets with Qin Zhen Zhen. At first, Qin Zhen Zhen was still suspicious of Shang Guan Ya's intentions, but Shang Guan Ya hurried to explain, and Qin Zhen Zhen had no choice but to believe her this once.

Li Rong knows that his father doesn't care who the crown princess is, even if she's from a second-rate family, the emperor will agree. Qin Zhen Zhen must be the best choice, so this time Li Rong decides to help his brother. However, these small schemes were all seen by Rou Fei, who naturally wants to put her person as the crown princess.

Soon the fragrant sachets were sent in, and Li Chuan suddenly remembered what his mother had said to him. Pei Wen Xuan instantly recognized the sachet made by Li Rong, unchanged after all these years, and Pei Wen Xuan also deliberately reminded everyone that the third one was made by sister Li Rong, even if it was chosen it wouldn't matter.

But it was Li Rong who turned out to be the winner, and Rou Fei and the Empress didn't know how to handle it. In fact, Rou Fei knew that the emperor wanted to use this activity to find out who was interested in competing for the position of crown princess, and it soon became clear.

Li Rong was also surprised that Qin Zhen Zhen was willing to believe Shang Guan Ya, but this outcome actually left them all quite satisfied.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the palace hall. The Emperor even praised Li Rong's excellent craftsmanship in making the sachet. The Emperor kept watching Qin Zhen Zhen, while Pei Wen Xuan was just very surprised to see Qin Zhen Zhen appear in this place. The two made eye contact, which Li Rong noticed, feeling that their feelings for each other had not diminished. Now, whether for Pei Wen Xuan or her brother, she must prevent this from happening.

Li Chuan's gaze never left Qin Zhen Zhen. Her brother knew that everything she did was to help him and not let him be in a difficult position, so he was very grateful to her. Both Qin Zhen Zhen and Shang Guan Ya were awarded a comb as a reward.

Before leaving, Li Rong told Qin Zhen Zhen that she and Pei Wen Xuan only had a cooperative relationship, and that they would eventually part ways. She said this to reassure Qin Zhen Zhen, but Qin Zhen Zhen was completely puzzled and didn't know what Li Rong meant.

Li Chuan went to see Qin Zhen Zhen alone, wanting to personally tell her that he really liked the sachet she had given. Qin Zhen Zhen quickly dismissed the relationship between them and also told Li Chuan not to misunderstand her.

On the way back, Li Rong said that she knew Pei Wen Xuan still had feelings for Qin Zhen Zhen, and that even if it's for Qin Zhen Zhen's own good, they would still try. Li Rong was thinking that in the future, when they part ways, she would personally help Pei Wen Xuan propose to Qin Zhen Zhen.

Hearing this, Pei Wen Xuan became very angry and directly got off the carriage. He wanted to clarify that he did not like Qin Zhen Zhen at all and had never had any feelings for her. This surprised Li Rong, but Pei Wen Xuan finally admitted to Li Rong that he had loved her and missed his chance. Li Rong didn't know how to respond.

Pei Wen Xuan was hurt by Li Rong's words, so he said he wouldn't go back home tonight. Thinking back to what Pei Wen Xuan had said to her in the past, Li Rong got out of the carriage in the heavy rain and apologized to him. She realized she had also misunderstood their feelings, and asked Pei Wen Xuan not to take the initiative to promote his relationship with Su Rong Qing.

In fact, they both had some unresolved issues in their hearts. If they had expressed their true feelings to each other back then, perhaps they would have had a better ending.
