The matter of Cui Lin's meeting with the new emperor has not yet been decided. The Ministry of War said that the Cui family's army was fighting at the front, and Cui Lin could be regarded as Cui Yi's son when he went to meet the new emperor. However, the Ministry of Rites refuted that there was no such precedent, and the Ministry of Husbandry said that the Cui family's army was fighting at the front. None of the grain, fodder, and military pay were allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Since they were deducted from the taxes of Pingliang and Weiyang, this confusing account cannot be accounted for. Now, even before Cui Lin sets foot in the palace, the six tribes are already quarreling. Li Ni believed that there had been precedents for women to go to court before, and Cui Lin's mother was a hero, so she should be qualified to go to court.
Gu Qingzhen went through the files from more than sixty years ago and confirmed Li Ni's words. He also learned from then on that Li Ni had a deep love for Cui Lin and persuaded Gu Waanniang to give up. But Gu Wanniang felt that there was no conclusion yet. The love between them was true, but things were unpredictable. Maybe she was the most suitable wife for Li Ni. Here, the news of being able to go to the Hajj came quickly. Cui Lin also knew that Li Ni had been running to the Ministry of Rites in the past few days, so she knew that Li Ni was concerned about her, and she couldn't help raising the corner of her mouth.
On the day Cui Lin went to court, Li Ni got up early, cleaned himself up, and went to court happily. In the main hall, Cui Lin paid an audience on behalf of her father. During Sun Jing's rebellion, the Cui Jiajun temporarily took charge of Luoyang, the capital of Dudu. Now that the world is at peace, the Cui Jiajun plans to withdraw from Luoyang immediately and return Luoyang, the capital of Dudu, to the imperial court. Hearing this, the new emperor was very happy and planned to hold a special banquet for Cui Lin. On the one hand, he expressed his praise for her, and on the other hand, he planned to let all the ladies in the capital rub off her spirit.
On this day, Cui Lin specially dressed in women's clothing to attend. Li Jun wanted to win Cui Lin's favor, so he was always the first to talk to her. In order to make it more lively, the queen specially held a lottery show. Li Jun also took the opportunity to sit next to Cui Lin and tried his best to express himself. Li Ni on the side was really unhappy, but couldn't explain it, so she had to take the initiative to ask to come on stage in person, and also invited Li Jun to come with her. Li Jun was a little embarrassed. He knew that he was no match for Li Nie. If he agreed, the consequences would be obvious. If he didn't, he would have a fearful reputation. At this moment, Cui Lin offered to play as a partner with Li Jun, which was a relief for him. On the other side, Gu Wanniang also offered to team up with Li Yi.
Although it was a competition between four people, Li Jun and Gu Wanniang gradually became the background, and only Li Ni and Cui Lin were left on the field. Cui Lin and Li Ni flew up to the crossbar at the same time to grab the prize. But the two were equally powerful, and there was no winner for a long time. At some point, the curtain fell down, surrounding the two of them. Cui Lin stepped forward and kissed Li Ni gently. While Li Ni was surprised and overwhelmed, Cui Lin pushed him down again and won the victory. In the main hall, Cui Lin handed over the hairpins given by the queen, one to Li Ni and the other to Gu Waanniang.
The queen liked Cui Lin's magnanimity and thoughtfulness very much, and called her to her and praised her for a long time. The banquet officially started. Li Ni felt bored, so she got up and left. Seeing this, Gu Wanniang wanted to follow, but was blocked by someone. On the other side, Cui Lin saw Li Ni getting up and followed her. Li Jun also wanted to follow, but was also blocked. Cui Lin expressed her gratitude to Li Ni, but he arrogantly said that he was just sharing the country's worries. Seeing Li Yi's serious look, Cui Lin couldn't help but feel funny.
After the banquet, Li Jun chased Cui Lin and wanted to send her back. Cui Lin agreed and told him that she would go to Ci'en Temple tomorrow. Li Jun offered to pick up Cui Lin tomorrow. Cui Lin also nodded in agreement, and this scene happened to be caught by Li Ni. The next day, Li Jun came to pick up Cui Lin as agreed, but learned that she had left the house early in the morning. Here, Li Ni really couldn't bear it anymore and went out to look for Cui Lin. Cui Lin was very happy and asked if the two of them could put aside their identities and enjoy the day. Li Ni readily agreed and went shopping with Cui Lin to catch fish and enjoy the scenery in Leyouyuan.
