The favor from an emperor never comes out of nowhere, not even for Prince Yan, to whom Emperor Huizong has given his affection for over twenty years. That's why the emperor hate to part with Prince Yan and couldn't leave him behind.

Emperor Huizong glances at Prince Beiding and opens his mouth: "I come here to ask for your cooperation."

After an hour, the ordinary carriage with blue-green curtain leaves Prince Beiding's Manor in a slow pace.

Zhao Yi remains at that same spot for all this time, looking at the carriage leaving for the palace.

"Your Highness, it's too hard for us to get our men into Prince Beiding's Manor indeed." His man says a little awkwardly.

Zhao Yi shakes his head slightly: "If your men can get into Prince Beiding's Manor, then it will become a joke for having remained intact over a century."

He drinks up the rest of the liquor in his cup and says: "Let's go."

Prince Beiding's Manor. 

Zhao Yi murmurs these three characters to himself and looks full of confidence.

Isn't a powerful family of his wife's side always what he wants?

It's a pity that Prince Beiding doesn't have another daughter.

Considering the power and influence of Prince Beiding's Manor he has to put up with having a married woman as his legitimate princess.

Zhao Yi has it all planned out in his mind.

It's no secret that Prince Beiding doesn't like Prince Yan.

It's also generally acknowledged that Prince Yan and Princess Yan don't get along.

Now that Prince Yan suffers a setback, no matter why does Princess Yan move to the cold palace, it is true that she has had a hard time.

Prince Beiding, who has been seeing her as the pearl in the palm is definitely going to blame Prince Yan for what she has been trough.

During this period, he simply needs to add a little instigation.

He considers about it and already has a plan.

On this day, at lunch time.

An unfamiliar young eunuch brings them lunch.

Zhao Yin is in the backyard while Ah Zhao is sitting there, looking at the young eunuch take out their lunch. 

What the young eunuch takes out surprises her.

Steamed duck stuffed with eight delicacies, fried pork rolls, fried chicken and tofu with lotus seedpod.

There are all together eight dishes plus one plate full of glittering and translucent grapes.

Ah Zhao is dumbfounded.

It's not like she hasn't eaten those food before.

With the favor Prince Yan received from His Majesty and her status as Qin Zhao, she has had every good thing in the world.

But now it's different from the past.

Let alone those who are in the cold palace, even some consorts with inferior positions couldn't have this kind of delicacies.

Could it be that n.o.ble Consort He is stung by her conscience?

Seeing how surprised Ah Zhao is, the young eunuch laughs a little smugly and says in a low voice: "My master has said that he hates to see someone as precious as princess have a tough time in this cold palace, so he comes up with many ideas and let me take the risk to send you those delicacies."

Ah Zhao frowns: "Who is your master?"

The young eunuch says in a small voice: "My master is someone who pities you, princess, but I dare not to tell you my master's name."

He turns and leaves after he has said that.

Right at that time Zhao Yin comes over from the back yard.

Seeing all those dishes on the table, Zhao Yin is extremely astonished: "Does n.o.ble Consort He finally decide to behave herself?"

Ah Zhao: "..."

That's just what I'm thinking about.

She shakes her head: "A young eunuch took it here just now. I don't think it was n.o.ble Consort He. Though I have no idea about who it was either."

Seeing the feast on the table, she is stimulated but doesn't move.

Zhao Yin sees how eagerly she looks at those dishes and finds her extremely adorable.

Ever since their talk, he grows more fond of his princess each day.

He wonders how could he harden his heart and have a cold war with her for two years?
