The seemingly calm and cold winter is actually a time of turbulent undercurrents. Everyone has their own plans, and the real show is just beginning!

When Tian Yu learned that Li Weiwei had been betrothed, and heard that she had been bedridden for many days because of it, she felt a little bad, but there was nothing she could do. The marriage alliance was a must, and if it wasn't her, then it could only be the princess!

To everyone's surprise, after not eating or drinking for half a month, Li Weiwei suddenly chose to accept it and acted like before. However, half a month ago, when the princess visited her, she humiliated the princess severely. The princess felt that she had wronged Li Weiwei, so she did not make a fuss. She only mentioned it to Tian Yu and planned that everyone should calm down during this period and put aside her and Li Xingyun's matter for the time being.

Tian Yu also felt that if the princess got together with Li Xingyun at this time, it would be too much of a blow to Li Weiwei, so she decided to put it aside for the time being. One day, Tian Yu and the princess encountered Li Weiwei on the road in a carriage. Li Weiwei was now a princess, and Tian Yu naturally bowed first. However, Li Weiwei seemed dissatisfied and didn't intend to let Tian Yu leave. Behind her followed her three half-sisters, who served Li Weiwei like servants.

Without saying a word, Li Weiwei stepped forward and slapped Tian Yu, saying, "Why are you so unhappy to see this princess? It seems I spoiled your fun."

"Weiwei! Tian Yu didn't mean that. We have other things to do. I'll come see you another day," the princess explained, stopping Li Weiwei.

"Now that the princess has Tian Yu, why has she become distant from me so quickly?"

"Weiwei, I didn't. I'm the one who's sorry. Please don't hurt Tianyu."

"If it weren't for her, would I have been forced into a political marriage?!"

"It has nothing to do with Tian Yu!"

"It's alright!? If it weren't for her giving the Marquis of Zhenbei the idea, they would have forced me into a marriage alliance! If it weren't for her, you would have married the Marquis long ago, and there wouldn't have been this marriage alliance. It's all because of her, she shouldn't have even appeared." Li Weiwei shouted loudly.

“Weiwei, don’t do this. If you really don’t want to, I will ask Father to cancel the marriage alliance,” the princess said.

"Cancel!? Is that even possible? The whole world knows that I am now a princess and am to be married off to the Chen Kingdom."

"Weiwei, I'm sorry, it's my fault," the princess said, trying her best to persuade Tian Yu and Li Weiwei.

"Princess! Move aside," Tian Yu said, pulling the princess back.

Li Weiwei wanted to hit Tian Yu again, but Tian Yu grabbed her hand and said, "I won't hold that slap against you because you're a princess. But listen carefully, if it weren't for your father, why would the princess have to go for a marriage alliance? It was your father who came up with the idea. Blame your father. Now it seems that you are the most suitable person to go. It just goes in line with your father's grand plan of a marriage alliance."

"You're talking nonsense! My father has always supported the princess and the marquis being together, and he has asked me many times to bring them together."

"Really? Did you support it from the beginning, or did you only try to bring them together after you learned that the Marquis already had a family?"

"You're talking nonsense! We've always supported the princess."

"Whether it's true or false, if the princess gets involved, things will only get worse, won't they?"

"You! Tian Yu, you just wait!" Li Weiwei didn't dare to look the princess in the eye, glared at Tian Yu, and angrily got into the car and left.

The maids and three concubine daughters following behind kept their heads down. The youngest one boarded the carriage last, glanced at Tian Yu, and then heard Li Weiwei in the carriage say loudly, "What are you looking at! Hurry up and get in the carriage, I'll deal with you when we get back."

As the carriage drove away, the sounds of beating and cursing could still be heard coming from inside. The princess said sadly, "What's wrong with Weiwei? She wasn't like this before."

"Maybe it's always been like this, it's just that no one has noticed it yet!"

"That's impossible! Everyone knows that Weiwei is the most well-educated and cultured princess. Every time I get into trouble, she's the one who takes the blame for me."

"Will the princess still be discovered and punished in the end?"

"It seems so! But why is that?"

"You should think about this carefully! If Li Weiwei had helped you with the fight at the restaurant last time, do you think your father would have praised you?"

The princess stared at Tian Yu with wide eyes, lost in thought. As before, she would have been fine as long as she wasn't punished, there was no such thing as praise. She seemed to understand something, but she didn't know why.

"What good will it do Vivi to do this?" the princess asked.

"I don't quite understand that. Maybe it's for fame, or maybe it's for something else, like feelings."

"If you put it that way, it was my mother who opposed her marrying the Crown Prince," the princess said.

"Why?! She's also a candidate for Crown Princess!?"

"Yes! Back then, there were several candidates, but in the end, only the current Crown Princess and Weiwei remained. Everyone thought Weiwei would be the Crown Princess, but later I don't know why, I just heard that the Empress Dowager thought it was not suitable, and later the Emperor also thought it was not suitable. In the end, my brother, the Crown Prince, married the current Crown Princess. But at that time, Weiwei never said that she had to marry the Crown Prince!" The princess scratched her head in confusion.

"The affairs of your royal family are quite complicated. Does she also like your fifth brother?"

“Even if she likes him, Fifth Brother, you know it’s absolutely impossible!” the princess said.

The two chatted as they arrived at Tian Yu's soon-to-open rouge shop. The princess looked at the dazzling array of goods in the shop and curiously picked them up one by one to examine them. Tian Yu patiently introduced them to her one by one and even did her a new makeup look. Before leaving, she asked someone to pack a lot of rouge for her to take back to the manor. The princess was happy for a long time.

On the other side, Li Weiwei entered the palace, knelt before the Imperial Concubine, and cried, "Aunt, how can you bear to watch your niece marry far away and not care?"
