Banou and Aylin everyday send food into the room for the concubine. She refuse to eat most of the time. Whoever Banou will sit there and tell Lou Yin Wen what is happening outside. Sometimes she brings newspaper in to let Lou Yin Wen to read. Banou encourage her to tell her anything she is unhappy about and not to throw the furniture in this little room. When she does that, Yin Wen will get cuts or bruise. Banou personally put on the medicated cream for her. Yin Wen watch her applying and bandage it up. Banou will spend around an incense burning stick time to accompany her. Even though she doesn't talk, Banou knows that she is listening. Thus Banous does all the talking and walking around in the room. After that, Banou leave the girl behind in her room. She usually cry or wail that she have a poor fate. After a month she quiet down and start eating the food is send in. Sometimes there is extra deserts and she will eat them too. However she still doesn't talk much to Banou.

Lunar new year is approaching once again. Banou order two sets of new outfits for Lou Yin Wen. When she receive it, she is surprise. She thought that they will forget about her. Banou even put a box of makeup on the small table just incase she would like to put on some makeup. She is allow to step out of her little room. The guards show her to the dining hall where everyone is gather there. Li Cheng present her some hair accessories. For the first time, she is happy in the Prince mansion. The children complement her which makes her delighted. Together they all head to the palace to celebrate and wait for the mid night ringing of the bell. Lou Yin Wen stand there at the balcony to watch the fireworks in the sky. From the corner where she stands, she see Prince Cheng and Banou holding hands watching the fireworks together. For the first time, she realised how foolish she is. She is all wrapped up in her romantic ideal that Li Cheng can fall in love with her. She give him her most important identity as a woman and yet she gets nothing back in return. She remember that night of passion even though he is drunk and keep calling his wife's name, she still strip all her dignity away and welcome him inside her. The night before she beg her mother to help her to marry into the man of her dreams. Lou Yin Wen believe that he will fall in love with her as she is not the skinny girl but she have a big chest. She believe it will get bigger as she is still growing up. Her mother, Madame Hong have always wanted her daughter to be ambitious. Thus marrying into a royal family is always a good choice. Together they spike the wine and send him to the bedroom. Her mother teach her everything in the bedroom with a sleeping man. She personally teach her daughter to insert into her tight hole. When is all done, she left the room and Lou Yin Wen did everything she always dream of doing with a man. She enjoy herself to the fullest. Till the morning comes, her acting skills are put to use.
On the third day of the new year, Lou Yin Wen apologise to Banou when she deliver her food. Banou who never angry or blame her for anything says quiety as she put down the dishes.
"Li Cheng and i are not angry at you nor we blame you for burning the boudoir. We just want you to apologise the Wang MoMo for causing her pain. She is considering the second mother of LI Cheng. She bring him up in that lonely palace. Now he is grown up and he fail to protect her from danger, he will be angry. When she returns, just apologise to her. We are not unrealisable people."
"Princess Consort, why are you so nice?"
"Am i? I am not that nice. I have a temper too. Just that i learn not to say nasty things to other people. In my upbringing, i am thought to be silence. Never be in the limelight. Never say what is inside my mind."
"That i am opposite of your character..."
"It is good that you persuade what you want and like in this life. However you have to know the consequences that comes along with it."
"Princess consort, i confess to you that... i ... spike the wine that night at the Luo mansion with my mother. We bring his royal highness into my room and i ... hump him all night but he keep calling your name. i ... i..."
Lou Yin Wen cry. Banou feel anger is raising from her.
"It's not your fault entirely. Your mother should know better and guide you well. Since it's over, let's put it behind. I will ask Li Cheng to give you freedom to step out of this room. Your boudoir, the workers are shoving the dirty and snow everyday to make way for the constructions. Once it ready, you will move back in."
Lou Yin Wen hearing that burst off crying. Banou walk near her and hug her. Yin Wen lay her head on Banou's tummy and cry for a long time.
