There is much to celebrate in China, Shan Yu and the evil Huns are long gone, and the Middle Kingdom is at peace. Fa Mulan is shown to be idolized by many of the local children, especially young girls, as a result of her heroic deeds.
One day, who has been promoted to general, proposes to Mulan, who happily accepts. When Mushu learns of the engagement, he is pleased at first.
However, the First Ancestor of the Fa family informs Mushu that if Mulan marries Shang, Mulan will become a part of Shang's Family, thus his family's ancestors and guardians would take over and Mushu will no longer be a Fa family guardian. Hearing this, Mushu becomes worried, especially when the ancestors show their happiness at the thought of Mushu returning to his gong-ringer duties (Apparently, Mushu had been aggravating the ancestors with his demands for special treatment).
Mushu decides to try to break the couple apart, though his cricket friend Cri-Kee tries to stop him. Meanwhile, Mulan and Shang are summoned by the Emperor, who reveals that the Mongols are threatening China this time. The Emperor plans to form an alliance with the neighboring kingdom of Qui Gong to help fend off the Mongols. To solidify the alliance, he asks Mulan and Shang to escort his three daughters: Princesses Mei, Ting-Ting, and Su, to Qui Gong, where they will be married to the three sons of Lord Qin, the ruler of Qui Gong. If Mulan and Shang do not complete the mission in three days, the alliance will crumble, and the Mongols will destroy China.
Mulan and Shang set off, bringing along their friends Yao, Ling, and Chien Po. It is revealed that despite the trio's involvement in the rescue of China, they were unable to find wives of their own as the Matchmaker had thrown them out. During the trip, Mushu tries to cause problems between Mulan and Shang, who he finds out have different views on various things such as the princesses' arranged marriage, but they all backfire. However, this also caused Mushu to accidentally destroy the cart the group are riding in, forcing them to continue on foot. Meanwhile, the princesses each fall in love with Yao, Ling, and Chien Po, and the feelings are mutual among the three. The following night, Mushu continues to try breaking Mulan and Shang up. He is successful in tricking Shang into thinking that Mulan is manipulating him and this leads to utter friction between the two. Eventually, the trio takes the princesses to a nearby village where they impress them. When Mulan discovers that they fell in love with Yao, Ling, and Chien Po, she decides to disobey orders and try to prevent the arranged marriage, only for Shang to arrive on the scene. Displeased with the trio's actions, he reminds them to focus on the mission and breaks up with Mulan despite her reasonings on the trio and the princesses' feelings for each other. Unknown to everyone, Mushu is pleased that his plan had worked. He's the one who made Shang find out what happened between the trio and the princesses when he woke him up after Mulan had left to the village.
As the trip goes on, the group passes through a land that is inhabited by bandits. Yao, Ling and Chien-Po subtly reaffirm their feelings to the princesses, making them happy to know that they still love them. Mulan and Shang remain sad prior to their breakup the previous night. After he realizes that making Mulan break up with Shang only made her miserable, a guilt-ridden Mushu is forced to confess to Mulan of his actions.
