The ninth princess of the kingdom of Ming, huanxie, arrives in the capital city of Ming as a sign that peace has been restored. She asks the emperor if he will visit her tonight. The emperor says that he does not want to visit her because she is nothing but "meat and bones" . He says that since he is the dukes son, he should be worthy of her. He tells the emperor that if he continues to be heartless towards his harem, the geezers will punish him for seducing him. The duke says that if the emperor does not like women, then he will have to leave first. The prince says that the rumor is true that the emperor doesnt like women and that he is safe in the harem.
