Ai Fen had been searching for the tassel since the morning. She even asked the maidservants appointed in her chamber, but no one knew about it.
However, when the maidservant, who was on night duty came to the chamber, she informed Ai Fen about the tassel.
"The Second Princess handed the tassel to Lord Chang Shi in reward," the maidservant stated.
"I gave my tassel to Chang Shi?" Ai Fen was shocked to learn the truth from the maidservant about it.
"Why did I give him my precious tassel?" Ai Fen asked in confusion.
"The Second Princess was drunk last night. We searched for the Princess in the eastern palace but she was nowhere to be found. Lord Chang Shi escorted the Second Princess last night," the maidservant briefed the incident to Ai Fen from the last night.
