Synopsis: Tang dynasty General Guo Ziyi was made Lord of Fenyang for putting down the An Lushan Rebellion. His son, Guo Ai, marries Princess Junrui. Though a loving couple, the Princess’s over-pampered behaviour leads to a family dispute: on the double celebration of the birthdays of Guo Ziyi and his wife, the Princess refuses to attend the banquet at the Guo Residence, on grounds that he is beneath her as a subject. Guo Ai sits through the banquet amidst the prickly teasing of his family members and gets drunk. He returns to the palace and has a heated quarrel with his wife. At the rage of the moment, he slaps her. The Princess goes to her royal parents and tearfully relates the whole incident, which leads to dire consequences.
