Tian Yu followed behind them, wanting to hear more, but because of the Crown Prince's angry roar, the two eunuchs quickly ran away. She didn't know if the Crown Prince was filial or not, but Tian Yu knew that the Crown Prince would change all his clothes every time he returned from the Empress's palace. Tian Yu was becoming more and more curious about what other unknown hobbies the Crown Prince had. Tian Yu flipped through the records in the document room one by one, hoping to find some clues, but because it was daytime, she dared not stay too long for fear of being discovered.
Since she hadn't found anything during the day due to the short daylight hours, Tian Yu planned to check again at night. But then, Eunuch Xu suddenly arrived. Tian Yu was puzzled, wondering if he had discovered her, but she calmly looked at Eunuch Xu with a smile and said, "Eunuch Xu, is there something you need?"
Xu Gonggong looked around. Tian Yu dismissed everyone else, and only then did Xu Gonggong speak: "Crown Princess, did you go to the records room today?"
"Why do you say that, Eunuch Xu? I have been in the Eastern Palace all day!"
"Your Highness, I will not tell anyone, including the Emperor, but please do not let this happen again." Eunuch Xu said with a smile, extending his hand.
Tian Yu didn't know what to say, so she obediently handed over the key. Tian Yu asked curiously, "How did Eunuch Xu know it was me?"
"I knew that the Crown Princess took my key that day, and I naturally understood that the scrolls in the records room had been moved today."
"Then why didn't my father-in-law report me?"
"Having spent so much time in this palace and seen so many people, I can tell at a glance what everyone is thinking. But when I see the Crown Princess, I can't see through her."
"I... I can't see through it, but you can, can't you?"
"No, although I saw through your little trick, I still don't understand why the Crown Princess would do this?"
"This? Hmm... how should I put it? It's purely out of curiosity. You know I'm new here and want to get to know the people around me. There are so many rules in the palace, so this records room is the best way. I can also learn about the history of our Wu Kingdom while I'm at it."
"Is that so? The Crown Princess really has no other intentions? She just wants to understand them."
"Yes, really!"
"Alright, I'll pretend today's events never happened. But if it happens again, I'll have to report it to His Majesty."
"Yes, it won't happen again. Thank you, sir."
"The Crown Princess's poems are still excellent."
"I'm glad you like it, Father-in-law. I'll definitely write a few more poems for you when I have time."
"Then I'll have to trouble the Crown Princess. There's no one around the Secretariat at noon every day."
Tian Yu was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Eunuch Xu's smile, she instantly understood. Just as she was about to say thank you, Eunuch Xu put down the key and said, "For the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, this servant and the Crown Princess have not said anything today."
Tian Yu picked up the key and looked at the departing Eunuch Xu. She thought to herself that Eunuch Xu was quite kind-hearted; he was won over by just two poems. How much did he like those poems?
