In this chapter, the duke of daqi explains that it is better for him to carry out his duties as duke than to be a solitary person. He says that he will always be his "homeland in my heart," and that he must have his "princess" for him. Three days later, han arrives at princess's bedchamber. He tells her that he has come to see her, and that they haven't seen each other since they came to the west. He asks her if her sixth brother told him anything about the wedding, and she says that when he left, he was "unhappy," but that he encouraged her to "treasure" the one she was with. The sixth prince is a good man, and he can help the duke in court matters, but he shouldn't become too comfortable with the sixth prince.
