For a long time, there had been no opera performances in Grand View Garden. One day, a decree arrived from Yuanchun in the palace, commanding a religious ceremony to be held at Qingxu Temple, which included opera.

Wang Xifeng then invited Baochai, Baoyu, Daiyu, and others to attend the opera at Qingxu Temple. Baochai, finding the weather too hot, expressed her reluctance to go.

Wang Xifeng sighed, saying, 'Whenever there's an opera at home, I'm always busy running around, managing everything. I've never once had the chance to sit down and watch a performance comfortably and at ease.'

Upon hearing this, Granny Jia sympathized with her and immediately offered to accompany Wang Xifeng to Qingxu Temple.
