Nian Xinyan: Your Majesty, I want to see the Thirteenth Master!
The sick and frail concubine of King Yong, could his sweetheart be someone else?

Nian Xinyan: Are these twelve pictures of beauties all of me? How can I be so good-looking?
Yinzhen: From my heart, Nian Gengyao is Nian Gengyao, and you are you. I have never confused you two.
