The next day, the new officials take their places in the emperor's palace, but the old ones are still waiting for the new ones to pass the exam. The old ones still lack experience, and the emperor worries that they'll be stuck in their jobs for a long time. He thanks the emperor for trusting him, and says that the new prime minister, Zimo Duan, is a good person, but he still needs to do something about the vacancy in the palace. He says that since his mother, Empress chuanlian, died, the palace has been empty without an owner. After the royal marriage, the empire's stability will increase. The emperor says that he'll have to leave soon, because the palace looks deserted. He's worried about his health, because he's always in a bad state of mind. He tells the emperor to push away, and leaves.
