The next morning, the emperor wakes up to find that his brother has fainted. He tells his brother that he must have kidnapped the emperor, because the emperor has been away since the previous day. The emperor tells the brother to go back to the palace and take back the emperor's majesty. The two brothers argue about whether or not the princess's bridal carry was meant for them, but the emperor tells them that they are mistaken. He also tells the brothers that they have been searching for each other for the whole night, and that the emperor is going to return to his palace anyway. The palace does not allow overtime work, so the two brothers decide to go home. They knock on the door of their humble abode and ask if they can talk. The music is too loud for the emperor to hear, so they decide to play for him alone. They decide to pretend to be lovers so that he will be able to find them.
