This chapter opens with a soliloquy by Lin Yaoyue, the regent's sister. She tells the regent that the prince's visit to the residence is nonsense. The regent is jealous of the concubine and the crown prince, and he is also jealous of Lin's grandmother, who has a lot of wealth. Lin is born with everything, and the regent loves her even more than the emperor, the king, the emperor's wife, and even the king's daughter. Lin says that she is lucky to have such good fortune, and that she has gained the favor of both the regent and the emperor. She says that the heavens bestowed her a good heart, to have everyone be willing to be generous, and to be able to get closer to sister. Lin then tells the story of how the prince dared to marry the first born of General zhen Guo, and how the regent wanted to take initiative for the girl. The servant who manages the residence, fang, is the servant from the madam's residence, who was lucky to get promoted to the manager position.
