Princess Xu did not enter the palace this Dragon Boat Festival because her eldest son was ill, and she was worried about him, so she asked for leave from the palace to take care of him at home.
Seeing the anxious and uneasy look on her face, Zhu Di understood that Princess Xu knew about the prophecy of Liu Xian.
Fearing that the princess might only have a partial understanding and become worried, he recounted the entire story from beginning to end, adding:
“You don’t need to worry. Father Emperor… he didn’t do anything to me. In fact, I stayed behind for the conversation with Liu Xian, just like the Crown Prince.”
Princess Xu sighed softly as she looked at her husband's excited expression.
She knew that her husband was very talented, but in the past, due to his relationship with the Crown Prince and the Emperor's wishes, he had never had such thoughts.

Zhu Di looked at his wife with a sigh of relief:
"As expected of a female scholar, her wisdom and resourcefulness are extraordinary." Princess Xu did not take credit, but instead pinched Zhu Di, blaming him for teasing her.
Zhu Di feigned a grimacing, but seeing that Princess Xu was really about to hit someone, he quickly changed the subject:
"That's a good idea. It just so happens that my daughters are all around the same age, so let's send them to work at the Willow Immortal Temple."
Princess Xu naturally agreed.
