Those who don’t want to know more, please feel free to skim past that section. Towards the bottom of this recap, I wrote up a book note regarding 4th and this trip. Uncharacteristically, 4th tosses back a drink. He pulls free from his dreaming and returns to reality. Her smile lights up her face, her joy bright as she moves graceful to the poignant song speaks of a loveĤth is entranced with his imagined Ruo Xi performing just for him. In his mind, the dancer in glittering red is not Min Min but Ruo Xi. Ruo Xi proudly looks on as Min Min dances, unaware of 4th’s gaze on her as he daydreams with his eyes wide open. The princes watch in delight except for 4th. Kangxi is impressed and praises it as does the duke. Ruo Xi silently says to 13th, “From now on, whenever you see white snow and red plum blossoms, I am afraid you will be reminded of Min Min.” Red petals scattered, covering the ground in velvety drifts before white ‘snowflakes’ fall. The prince smiles and walks back to his seat. They both look at Zuo Ying and Ruo Xi murmurs that she hopes that it could be so. Just within a short span of two months, Min Min has transformed from a care-free girl into a woman.ġ4th answers that the reason why Min Min is not looking at the moon, could be that the sun has already appeared. Ruo Xi observes that this new star had not even given ‘the moon’ a glance that evening. Ruo Xi thanks 14th’s praise but replies that Min Min has always been a star, all she had done was to remove the dark veil that had hidden the bright star from view.

They slowly float into the night sky, bobbing until the darkness is filled with flecks of golden light. Amazed murmurs is interrupted by another ring. The lamps are placed in front of the tables and 9th suddenly exclaims that he smells plum blossoms and wonders where they could have gotten plum flowers in such a remote region. Ruo Xi rings a bell and two rows of women drift across the sandy ground, holding two lamps each. Kangxi comments that it has been two months since Ruo Xi started the preparations and he is looking forward to the performance. It is the night before the Mongolians leaves.
