This chapter opens with a description of the daughter of a general and his wife. The general's daughter is named concubine, which means "little girl." She is a beautiful young woman with a good singing voice. She is also a member of the Liu family, which is involved in a treason case against the emperor. The little girl is named jin li, meaning "little baby." The little baby was born out of wedlock to the general and the little girl's mother. Supposedly, the little baby's father was the eunuch, a servant of the late emperor, who was killed in the war. The royal uncle of the general is very angry at the royal uncle's behavior.
