Later, when Gok-heong is cheating Princess Gwai Yim-seong, Prince Gwai Sau-ling spots her and offers her the opportunity to learn to sing and dance with Sanniang at the institution. Meanwhile, Hon-yi is not only given some money by Cuihuan to assist his study, but also admired by Yim-seong. Ignorant of the fact that Gok-heong is his benefactor, he insults Gok-heong by showing off his wealth at the institution. Though they have all the misunderstandings cleared afterwards, Sau-ling comes for Gok-heong with betrothal gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Sau-ling compels Gok-heong to marry him. Besides sending Hon-yi to Suzhou under escort, he further instructs his student Tsz Po-tung to harm Hon-yi. However, Servant Ng Chong-yong, who writes the letter for Sau-ling, is barely literate and makes many mistakes. Thus, Po-tung mistakes Gok-heong as Sau-ling&#8217;s foster daughter; and in order to suck up to Sau-ling, he asks Gok-heong to be his sworn sister and even presides over the wedding for her and Hon-yi. Shocked at seeing Hon-yi and Gok-heong come back as newlywed, Sau-ling finally realizes the mistakes Chong-yong has made. Quoting Gok-heong&#8217;s poem, that is however a satirical one, on praising Du Juanhong, Chong-yong persuades Sau-ling to marry her instead. Sau-ling is outraged when he finds out that Juanhong is in fact very ugly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373392,373316],"area_type":[350138],"event_language":[365762],"series":[387115,387176,388314],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1315457","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-xiqu-cantonese-opera-en","event_category-xiqu-en","area_type-local","event_language-cantonese","series-performance-series","series-cantonese-opera-young-talent-showcase","series-2019-20-phase-3","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1315457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1315457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1315457"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1315457"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1315457"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1315457"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1315457"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1315457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
