"Princess, the Third Princess has arrived."

"I am aware. You may leave. Since Princess Yongle is a distinguished guest, I will go to the palace gate to welcome her myself." When the Fourth Princess heard that Princess Yongle was visiting, she wasn't surprised. On the day Lin Yue entered the palace, she had gone looking for trouble. It was normal for the Third Princess to suspect her, but what of mere suspicion? Without evidence, at most she could vent her frustration on her and do nothing more. After all, even if the Emperor and Empress Dowager no longer favored her, she was still a princess, and they could not be too overt in their treatment of her. So what if she had to endure some covert friction? She would bide her time, for one day, she would claim her retribution.
