In this short scene, the Duke of York and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, are in the garden of the Duke's palace in London. The Duchess asks the Duke to join her for a walk, and the Duke agrees. He tells her that the garden is beautiful and full of flowers from all over the world, and that the crown prince would have fallen in love with it if he had not been caught in bed with the Duchess. He then asks the Duchess to summon his adopted son, Chen Tongxue, to the palace to greet him.
