Prince Duan and Prince Kang came to offer their congratulations. The two princes shared a fairly good relationship with Princess Huaying and helped Lin Cheng fend off drinks during the banquet.

Suspecting that Xie Xun had tattled on him, Prince Kang begrudgingly agreed to bury the incident within himself, yet he couldn't help but hold a grudge. The more he saw Xie Xun, the less he liked him. When Xie Xun poured wine for Lin Cheng, Prince Kang stepped in to block it.
