"Angry anyway" , the narrator says, just like the doctor said. He's angry because he wants to get pregnant, but he's also angry because she lied to her father about her pregnancy. She's not worried about the past, though, because now that she's married, she doesn't need to hide her pregnancy from her father. If dad won't accept her proposal, she'll be by his side for life. The envoy arrives, and the narrator is confused because he has no idea who the envoy is. He says the envoy must be trying to get over his father, because the prime minister and the second prince are both close to his father. The shen family is all heroes, he says, and no matter who the new emperor is, they'll all be heroes. He also tells the narrator that he has heard that the prince is likely to marry the princess of Litun, and that the shen will discuss everything with him.
