Empress tells the others that she wants to stay in Luoyang and that she can give either of them the choice of becoming the consort of the eighth princess or serving as the general of the palace. She also tells them that if they wish to stay, she will give them two options: one to become the consort and one to serve as the palace's "boy" . The crown princess is there, and she tells Empress that she heard that the general had volunteered to be her "toy boy" , which means that he wants to be a part of the royal court. Empress is shocked and says that it's not worth it for the general to do this, since she's the crown princess. She tells him to go back and become his toy boy, and he agrees.
