What happened? I thought Ming Lan already told him not to cause trouble for her by being close to her but why Ming Lan rn was thinking about him? Idk. The heart wants what it wants ig. But luckily her grandma warned her and she also said she knew it. The way I laughed when chanfeng throwing tantrum he didn't pass, that was good he need the knock off his pedestal so arrogant and for what. Also, how the princess face expression after her son didn't pass too pfttt. I mean, that Young Lord Qi needs a little humbling. CONGRATS CHANGBAI OR ZHENCENG!! Ouuu chanfeng gave hit after hit to Molan sksksksk we love to see it! I can guess the reason ML didn't pass was bcs of his reputation? Bcs his essays were excellent the proctor said.

Exam Ends

1)We open to the girls visiting Old Madame. This turns quite comedic as Molan and Rulan repeatedly instigate the other. Until finally they realize it has gone to far and grandmother reminds them at this time harmony is most important,. Afterwards, Rulan, though not the most book smart, can easily trigger Molan by reminding her that she will forever be a concubine born. This Molans biggest fear. That she will be held back from marrying well because of her birth.

2)Ming Lan and the Duke (it’s just easier to call him this though he is the heir) cannot see one another but they are both thinking of the other.

3) The results come out. And although parents may be separated by class, they all are there to see their sons who have finally emerged. Big Madame is there to meet Chang, with Ming Lan and Rulan. Feng is greeted by Molan and Madame Lin. The princess is there for the duke. Gu Ting Ye is greeted by his servants.

4)Xiodai reports to Ming Lan that Madame Lin has been acting shady: she uses the cover of the exams to send a personal male servant out to pick up some goods. Ming Lan, ever patient, says to merely observe.

5) Ming Lan admits under a little coaxing from her grandmother that she is worried about the young lord and his results. Her grandmother again reminds her that she wants her to be happy but the problem is that young lord is too great, his family strict. She tells her that she must lower her expectations if she has the chance to marry there and that she will not be a main wife and that it will be tough as a result because the mother is strict. As an excuse for Ming Lan to see the results, she sends her out as her personal representative.

6)Although he did not go to greet Gu Ting Ye when he finished his exams, his father and stepmother go for the results. His stepmother expresses concerns that Gu Ting He’s bad temper will create isssues and that she worries about him (remember this behavior). The only person passes is Changbai. Gu Ting Ye ‘s reputation precedes him. Many families will choose among the passing husbands but Gu Ting Ye is considered to be a bad man. Changbai did extremely well he is in the top thirteen. Apparently passing first try is super rare.

7)Gu Ting Ye and Ming Lan exchange greetings. Neither is interested in the other st this point.

8)Young lord goes to congratulate Sheng. Rulan remarks that he does not really need to pass and Ming Lan explains though true he wishes to basically pass on his own merit without using his position, young lord uses this as an excuse to speak to Ming Lan and they have a small talk. Naturally, he is unaware how closely his mother watches him. She immediately begins to throw some shade to her husband. She knows he is in love. While the duke seems supportive his wife the princess is dismissive no title no marriage talk.

9)Gu Ting Ye is clearly upset he failed. His younger brother tries to encourage him. Elsewhere, Big Madame is so happy she wants to celebrate. A visit with Big Madame reminds them of etiquette. Keep things quiet because Young Lord and Gu Ting Ye did not pass. It could offend the duke and Marquis. Big Madame makes an attempt to get her niece considered as a wife to her son (you will soon see that whenever her sister comes to visit she tries to get something from her)

. 10)while Molan, Lin, and her son argue about him having failed Gu Ting Ye takes Chang out to celebrate and drink. Chang is confused about his failure. He points out that Princess Qi went to see why young lord did not pass surely Marquis Gu did the same. gu says nope, my Dad hates me. Elsewhere, Feng goes out to drink and gets caught up in a debate about who will be the next Emperor. He bets it will be Prince Yan.

11)Marquis gu indeed checks to find out why his son failed. The proctor explains that Young Lord Qi failed because his essays lack backbone. Gu ting actually should have passed and been in the top 3. Turns out there is a reason he failed. ...it seems he can’t retake the exam because he ran his mouth about sympathizing with some dead citizen or whatnot that the emperor is not fond of (so happy that doesn’t happen in the states)
