The next morning the personal maid of the new lady of the second prince residence was found dead in the lotus pond. It was rumoured that she had tried to seduce the second prince and when the mistress knew about it, she declared to execute the maid by drowning her in the lotus pond.
While the court people were discussing the colourless atmosphere at the second prince's residence, the common citizens were busy in getting ready for the arrival of their crown prince. The whole north side where the residency resides was decorated in flowers and garlands. The people wore new dresses and prepared gifts for the prince and his wife.
