The Story of Hua Yan

After drinking the best liquor ever, the young man wishes that he could be the princess consort of the king. He tells the king that he wants to know what he dislikes about him. The king refuses to give him any information about his wife. The young man tells him that he accepted the jade pendant from the king and that he is moved by the drunken rouge of the prince. He also tells the prince that he tried the liquor with his wife and that it is the best in the world. He asks the king to tell his wife the fragrance of her lips and to tell him that the prince does not understand women. The prince should appreciate women in his stead, he says. He adds that the princess has kept a record of beating great gamblers in the palace of peace. He says that the king did not punish her for her gambling, but simply let her be. He advises the prince to go to the east palace and summon the woman he wants.
