At the advice of Emperor Ye, the Princess requested to see Zhenbei Wang for two days in a row to apologize and seek forgiveness, even forgoing royal protocols and knelt in repentance. However, Zhenbei Wang refused to see her. In a fit of anger, Emperor Ye gave the Princess a scolding.
However, up until the day that Emperor Ye was to return back to the capital, Zhenbei Wang never again mentioned separating from her.
“Brother, will the Lord forgive me?” The Princess stood beside the carriage, reluctant for him to leave and wiping her tears.
Looking at the frazzled appearance of the Princess, Emperor Ye was both worried and angry.
“Dairou, you have to restrain your arrogant and aggressive nature in the future. The manor is not the same as the palace. Given the distance, I can’t always take care of you.”
The Princess nodded distractedly. There was no knowing if she took these words to heart.
“I know. If my Lord only paid more attention to me, then I wouldn’t bother with that slut.”
Emperor Ye was slightly angry, “If you didn’t do those things to stand out, then purely for my sake, Xuan Xiao wouldn’t do anything to you. Forget being affectionate, there would at least be some mutual respect. You have to be smarter in the future!”
“Oh,” the Princess felt wronged. “Didn’t you also rack your brains for a way to get the Lord to forget that slut? But in the end you still couldn’t-”
“Ignorant!” Emperor Ye scolded her, too lazy to explain, and said, “Just do as I say, and I bet he won’t be able to bear it.”
The Princess’ mood lifted: “I’ll listen to you!”
Emperor Ye said in a low voice, “You must take care of the thing I gave you, it’ll come in handy later.”

Shen Yu rested until New Year’s Eve, but still could not fully get rid of his cold. He coughed all day long, and occasionally had high fevers. According to Pian Shisi, most illnesses were due to chronic, deep-rooted problems. Aside from resting, there was no other cure.
The manor was full of red lanterns on New Year’s Eve. A fireworks master was invited, and the sky exploded in multitude of bright colours, lighting up the snowy ground. The servants all received an extra month’s worth of pay, with smiles bright on their faces.
Shaohua Pavilion was especially quiet. Aside from the cleaning maids, Zhenbei Wang had forbade anyone else to go near it.
So whenever servants pass by they would be too fearful to approach it, but also looked at it with envy. They knew Concubine Yin lived here, and was favoured by Zhenbei Wang, However, what a pity that this sickly beauty could not keep to himself. After seducing Emperor Ye during the winter hunt and being caught red-handed, Zhenbei Wang had stopped visiting.
Every time the servants spoke of this they were astonished. Amidst the hushed tones of the gossip were mixed in expressions of pity, envy, and disgust.
Shen Yu sat up from the bed, put on Zhenbei Wang’s favourite white clothes, and brushed his hair meticulously. The reflection in the basin showed a haggard face and chapped lips. Shen Yu put on a bit more makeup to make his complexion look better.
Putting on his cloak, Shen Yu got ready to leave when he thought of something. He turned his whole dresser upside down without finding it, and then looked through all the hiding places in his vanity.
The more he searched the more worried he became, beads of anxious sweat forming on his forehead.
“Where’s the jade pendant? I know I put it in the dresser – no, the day of the winter hunt, I wore it.”
Shen Yu frantically thought back in his memories. The jade pendant that Zhenbei Wang gave him was clearly attached to his jade hoop, which he wore on that day on the mountain. After that, he was delirious with illness and didn’t notice when the pendant was lost.
“Could I have lost it when I fell down the cliff?”
