The fourth brother tells his father that he will have to take medicine for seven days in order to cure his poison. He asks if the princess will let him off if he acts as he pleases, and if she will be subservient to him if he does not act as she pleases. He tells the father that his marriage to the emperor will take place in a year's time, and the father replies that it must be the fourth brother's father who made the decision to marry the daughter of the minister. The king's wife, the minister's daughter, is too old to marry, but the minister is willing to do so because she is "woman for power." The king asks the minister to serve tea to the princess, and she accuses him of being a "jerk" and a "bully." She tells the king that he is right, and that she will do as he says.
