The next day, the princess came to visit Tian Yu. From the princess, Tian Yu learned that Li Xingyun had entered the Imperial Hospital and everything was going smoothly. The princess said, "Tian Yu, don't worry. With me here in the palace, no one can bully him."

"That's good. His leg isn't fully healed yet, so he can't overexert himself."

"Don't worry, the people in the Imperial Hospital respect Brother Xingyun very much. They even gave Xiao Wu special permission to come in and serve him. Nothing will happen."

"It can be like this? Then Xiao Wu is going to...?" Tian Yu gestured as she spoke.

"No, it's just that I can't leave the Imperial Hospital."

"So that's how it is." I knew it. The palace was full of eunuchs. How could Xiao Wu possibly get in? Tian Yu thought Xiao Wu had been... you know.

Upon entering the palace, Tian Yu behaved very obediently, not daring to break the rules, and was careful in everything she did. However, she found the Eastern Palace to be very serious, and the servants were always in a hurry, constantly cleaning. Of course, Tian Yu also saw the Crown Prince's harem beauties one after another, and they were all incredibly beautiful. Standing together, Tian Yu thought for a long time and could only describe them as "really clean".

That day, Li Weiwei threw a tantrum in the palace, and even the imperial physicians were summoned. Tian Yu rushed over when she found out, and saw Li Xingyun there as well. After being in the palace for several days, she was finally able to see him again. Tian Yu approached him and said, "Didn't I tell you to go back to your hometown?"

"Having come all this way to the capital, I should at least make a name for myself."

"Brother, thank you."

"I'm not doing this for you, don't flatter yourself, Ling'er will get jealous if she hears this."

"She won't."

"Ling'er is a princess who is to marry her, so she can't be without any title or status. I just came to keep you company."

Tian Yu looked at Li Xingyun and smiled, saying, "Yes, I understand."

"Get out of here, all of you!" Li Weiwei shouted, and the imperial physicians sheepishly wiped their foreheads and came out.

"Imperial Physician Li, you've arrived. Consort Li has been acting like this lately, shouting and yelling, and we can't figure out what's wrong with her."

"I understand. You all go back first. Leave this to me," Li Xingyun said.

The two imperial physicians quickly packed their things and left. Tian Yu heard things breaking and Li Weiwei's angry roar coming from inside the room, and said worriedly, "Brother, are you sure you can go in by yourself? Or should I go in with you?"

"No need, she'll probably lose even more control if she sees you."

"That's true. Oh, does she have postpartum depression?"

Postpartum depression?

"He's mentally deranged."

"Possibly, we'll see."

After Li Xingyun went inside, there was no sound from inside for a short while. When Li Xingyun came out, Tian Yu went up to him worriedly and asked, "How did it go?"

"It should be postpartum depression, as you mentioned. I gave her acupuncture and prescribed some calming medicine to see if it helps."

Li Weiwei felt better the next day and came to cause trouble for Tian Yu. Early in the morning, she arrived at Tian Yu's residence with a group of palace maids dressed in their finest attire. Seeing Tian Yu and the Crown Prince having a meal, she was immediately consumed by jealousy. However, since the Crown Prince was also present, she did not want to be too overtly jealous. She smiled and stepped forward to greet the Crown Prince, saying, "I have been feeling unwell recently. I heard that my sister Tian Yu has entered the palace, so I have not been able to visit her. I hope my sister will forgive me."

"It's alright if the concubine is too serious and doesn't come," Tian Yu replied as she got up, carefully eating her breakfast as instructed by the nanny.

“That won’t do. I entered the palace earlier than my sister, so I should treat her well.”

"I think it's fine. There's no need to trouble Consort Li. If you haven't had breakfast, you can sit down and eat with us."

"I've already eaten, so I don't need to."

Then there was silence. Li Weiwei kept looking at the Crown Prince, while the Crown Prince smiled at Tian Yu. Tian Yu ate her breakfast with her eyes downcast. After finishing the last bite, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Your Highness, I'm finished eating. May I leave now?"

"Didn't your nanny tell you that you had to wait until I finished eating?"

Tian Yu smiled and sat quietly waiting for the Crown Prince to eat. Li Weiwei smiled and said, "Why don't you let me serve the Crown Prince his meal?"

The Crown Prince looked at her and then at Tian Yu, and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, my beloved consort."

Li Weiwei washed her hands and smiled as she took the spoon from the maid beside the Crown Prince. She began to serve the Crown Prince his meal. Tian Yu sat at the table, looking out the door. The Crown Prince ate the food Li Weiwei handed him, but his eyes were on Tian Yu. He tasted three different flavors in one breakfast.

Finally, the Crown Prince finished eating, and Tian Yu stood up and said, "I still have lessons to do today, so I won't keep you company any longer. I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that Tian Yu had left, the Crown Prince lost interest and released Li Weiwei's hand, saying, "My beloved consort, I have other matters to attend to. I will visit you another day." As he got up to leave, he wiped his hands in disgust.

Upon seeing this, Li Weiwei angrily overturned the unfinished dishes on the table and left with her maid.

At dinner time, Li Weiwei came again, and had a table full of food prepared. Tian Yu was tired after a long day and just wanted to sleep. Seeing Li Weiwei's attentiveness, she smiled and said, "Why is Consort Li coming to my place instead of trying to please the Crown Prince?"

"I came here especially to thank you, little sister. If it weren't for you last time, I would have lost my life. That's why I've prepared a table full of delicious food for you."

“Okay, I’m hungry too, let’s go together.” Tian Yu said, plopping down.

Li Weiwei quickly served the drinks and said, "Let's eat and chat."

"Okay, you sit down too." Tian Yu picked up her wine but didn't drink it, waiting for Li Weiwei to join her.

"This glass is a toast to my sister for saving my life," Li Weiwei said, then picked up her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Tian Yu picked up her wine glass, covered it with her sleeve, and pretended to drink it down. In fact, she had already used her handkerchief to pour the wine out and hide it in her sleeve. When she put her hand down, she casually threw the wine-stained handkerchief under the table.

Seeing that Tian Yu had drunk some wine, Li Weiwei smiled and said, "It was all a misunderstanding between us before. Actually, we have a lot in common. We're better sisters than the princess, don't you think?"
