To avoid becoming a target for officials to attack the Eastern Palace in the Crown Prince’s absence, Lin Jingyue had rarely stepped out of the Eastern Palace over the past half-month.
Whenever she did go out, it was only to pay her respects at Shoukang Palace, and she went nowhere else. The gates of the Eastern Palace were also kept under guard, with no outsiders allowed to enter. The Third Prince had come to call several times, but finding himself barred from entry, he had been forced to seek other ways to reach her.
Lin Jingyue pondered for a moment. "I will see him. The Third Prince donated a significant sum of money for the soldiers at the frontier; such generosity and righteousness—how could I refuse to meet him? Xiao Lingzi, tell him that I will meet him in an hour at a private room in the Furong Pavilion. If he misses that, then… he will have to wait for the next opportunity."
