The eunuch asks the court lady to allow him to enter the palace as well. The court lady refuses, saying that it is a festival and that no one can enter or leave as they please, as long as they are not "sneaking around" in a "costume." The court woman is shocked by the request, and she tells the young man that women die for such things. She tells him that he is just a friend and not a lover, and that he should tell his lover that he loves her. The young man says that he does not know what the "stupidest thing" is, and the court woman tells him to confess to his feelings for the young woman. She says that if he did not tell her his feelings yet, he should confess and not beat around the bush. He should tell her that he likes her directly, and he should not worry. He slaps her and slaps his confess. He asks her where she is going and she says that she is in trouble and that if she speaks he will know she is a woman. He tells her that she belongs to the "hong party" and that they should go out for a drink together
