Two more days pass before Xi Zirui has the chance to corner Han Yu.
In the meantime he tries to find other chances to be alone with him, but Han Yu keeps evading him.
Xi Zirui has no luck trying to sneak into one of his meetings with his ministers and is unceremoniously escorted out as soon as one of the guards catches him skulking around.
Shouting, "I'm the Prince's new bridegroom!", as they drag him out by the armpits doesn't help.
The royal family, which from what Xi Zirui understands is now reduced to Han Yu and his cousin Bai Mi -- after a sudden illness overtook the older family members, and caused the death of Han Yu's father -- usually dines alone.
Bai Mi tries to plead his case, and convince Han Yu to let Xi Zirui share a meal with them, but with no success.
She suggests that Xi Zirui try to get in anyway.
