In this short scene, the grand secretary tells the audience that the wedding of the concubine is grand, even if it is not a royal wedding. He thinks that the emperor's health is getting worse, and that he is not following the proper laws and order. He compares the wedding to an ancient poem about an emperor falling in love and becoming the empress of his sister. The empress then goes on to become a court dancer and then the emperor himself. The grand secretary then tells the story of how the emperor threw the old people out of the palace. He says that he has sent people to look into the matter, and he has already sent some people to investigate. The senior grand secretary is the one who sent the memorials.
