In this short scene, we meet a young girl named Liliwei, who has come to the palace to find out if her brother, Prince Ling, will marry her. We learn that she is the daughter of a wealthy liu family, and that she has rejected a marriage arranged by her father's seventh brother. She tells us that her engagement to Prince Ling has been annulled, and she is afraid that no one will want to marry her, because she is "mean and evil". She begs Prince Ling to help her catch the naughty little boy, whom she calls "an innocent child". She tells him that he is superior to her, and asks him to teach the naughty boy a lesson
