The mother of poor Ukifune asked Nakanokimi to take care of her. She saw prince Niou by chance through a crack between two doors. He was radiantly beautiful. He was about to leave for the palace to visit the sick empress. As the little child came out from behind the curtain, he turned and took him in his arms. This glorious happy scene caught her eye.
