In this chapter, we learn that the Queen's brother, the Prince of the Mings, has fallen in love with a beautiful young woman named xinyue. The young woman is said to be a peerless beauty, with delicate foreheads, curved eyebrows, and eyes that are "bewitching" . The prince's servant, who has just arrived at the brothel where the prince is staying, is shocked to learn that his master has fallen for the young woman. He tries to steal her away from the prince, but the young man is too proud to do so, and so he flees.
