The scene opens with the arrival of the ladies at the imperial prince's house. The imperial prince asks the ladies if they have any concubines. The ladies reply that they do, and the prince asks if they are the ones who robbed him at the wedding. He asks the lady why she is there, and she tells him that she has heard that the marquis is in love with the prince. The prince asks her if she has seen the beautiful girl he has just married. The lady tells the prince that she is just like the prince, not the other women. She says that the prince has said that he only loves her, and that he wants her to open a dyer's ward. She asks the prince what he wants to trade with her for, and he tells her that it is a precious sword. She tells him to take it back, but the prince tells her to pretend not to talk about it, and then she faints.
