It's time for the show, and we're introduced to a new character. He's called "the highness" , and he's here to talk to the audience about the love letter that he found in the silk bag. The "highness" tells us that the letter is an invitation to come to Prince An's mansion to see the show. The highness tells the audience that it's not unusual for people to write each other letters for no reason. He says that this letter proves the relationship between Prince xiao and the young lady isn't as simple as he thought it would be. It turns out that the prince got injured in the garden, and was saved by a young lady named "shishi" . The young lady rescued the prince from the water, and the prince gave her the jade as a token of his love for her. Now, the highness says that he'll always stand by his sister-in-law no matter what her relationship with the prince is. He also says that the two young ladies should give up on the idea of getting married, because they'll never be able to be "princess consorts" like he is.
