Although Dehai took good care of Xiaochai's life, it was a pity that Xiaochai was still not satisfied, and proposed to adopt a child abandoned by his friend in order to find an heir for Dehai. When Dehai saw the child, he immediately evoked his identity as an eunuch. He was very resistant to the child, and Xiaochai was not allowed to adopt it. Xiaochai understood the thorn in Dehai's heart and had to discard all the children's supplies and send the child away. Dehai Yuelianying and others gathered together and gave everyone a silver ticket. It was even clearer that Fengxiu had a woman to be drafted in the palace and asked everyone to plan for it.
德海虽把小钗的生活照顾周全，可惜小钗仍未满足，提出想收养友人舍弃的孩儿，好为德海找个子嗣。德海看见小孩即勾起了自己是阉人的身分，对小孩甚是抗拒，不许小钗收养。小钗明白德海心中的刺，只好丢弃所有孩子用品，并送走小孩。德海约连英等人聚会，为各人送上银号的银票，更明言凤秀有女入宫选秀，要大家代为筹谋。
