In this chapter, we learn that Ming's mother was a different woman from the one who appeared in the previous chapter's dream. Ming asks his mother why she would lie to him, and she tells him that it's "normal" for him to forget things. She also tells him not to tell anyone about his dreams. Ming then tells us that the princess and the young master are already engaged, and Ming wants to know why they aren't his prince consort. Ming knocks on the door of the princess's room to ask for advice and to check up on his sister.
