At the end of the Second Month, the festival of cherry blossoms took place in the Grand Hall. Late in the night, Genji went quietly went up towards Fujitsubo's residence, but the door was tightly closed. He made his way to the gallery by Kokiden's pavilion, where he found the door was open. The sixth daughter of the Minister of the Right appeared. She recognized his voice and did not refuse him. The dawn soon approached. She did not tell him her name. They exchanged their fans and he was on his way in a hurry. The misty moon of the twentieth day hung over the sky.

The lady of that misty moon, remembering the encounter, was sunk in distress. She had to marry with the crown prince in the Fourth Month. Late in the Third Month, the Ministry of the Right held a wisteria banquet. He invited Genji to the festivities. His elegant dress dominated the other guests and his beauty outshone the blossoms. After playing the instruments, he went to a corner where the princess of the ministry stood pretending to be drunk. He tried to find out the owner of the fan. The voice who had replied to his poem was the lady’s.
