The third emperor of the People's Republic of China, gong sheng, arrives at the toy-boy selection ceremony with his daughter, gong yimo. He tells the audience that his daughter is ambitious, knowledgeable, and capable, and that he is asking the god for permission before he can announce his daughter's birth to the world. The ceremony is over, and the emperor and his daughter congratulate each other. The next person to enter the hall is the youngest son of the third emperor, who introduces himself as "shen shiye," or eldest son.
