00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.400
=Episode 31=

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:34.640
Zisheng,

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.240
your uncle died young.

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.200
You're the only descendant

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.760
of the Huo Family now.

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:43.840
His Majesty and I

00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:46.760
hoped that you could get married
and give birth to offspring

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.640
so that your descendants could

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.200
burn offerings
to your uncle and his family

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.680
and not let them
end up as wandering spirits

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.560
in the underworld.

00:01:57.440 --> 00:01:58.400
If someone

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.280
doubts your future wife,

00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:04.400
just ignore their foolish attempt.

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:12.160
Yes, Consort Yue.

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.440
I also hope Zisheng could get married
and have children.

00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:22.720
But look at Lady Cheng.

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.440
She's young and puny.
And she's not from a prominent family.

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:27.480
How is she compatible with Zisheng?

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.920
My Yuchang is different...

00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:32.400
Your granddaughter can forget
about this marriage

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.000
when she has a grandmother
who bullies someone

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:36.960
whose elder had died.

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.240
You...

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:39.960
You're...

00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.200
You're being defiant to your elder.

00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:43.840
Zisheng,

00:02:44.880 --> 00:02:45.960
listen to me carefully.

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:48.000
You can marry anyone

00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.320
you want.

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:51.000
No one can force you to marry

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:52.880
someone you don't want.

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:56.360
If someone threatens you
with the marriage,

00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.360
then I shall make

00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:01.720
their lives

00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:03.600
a living hell!

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.400
Did I make myself clear?

00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:11.800
I was just saying.

00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:13.680
Zisheng's marriage is up

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:15.400
to Your Majesty.

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.200
No one should comment on it.

00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.000
I just want Madam Chunyu

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:20.280
to receive

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.040
the proper courtesy she deserves.

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:22.920
You started it.

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.280
We're going to discuss
the Huo Family's private affairs now.

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:27.680
Other than Zisheng and his future wife,

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.560
the rest of the princes

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.240
can leave.

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:48.280
Why do you keep defending
Huo Junhua's side?

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.480
You deserved
to almost get yourself killed!

00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:53.160
Aunt,

00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.880
do I need an elder like you

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.400
to sow discord

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.120
between Junhua and me?

00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:02.600
We've been at odds

00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:04.560
for as long as we've known each other.

00:04:05.320 --> 00:04:07.160
She splashed me with hot soup

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.200
and I threw nails at her.

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.280
One time, she tricked me
into going outside

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:14.840
where I almost ran into the bandits.

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.040
So you remembered.

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:17.400
Since that's the case, why...

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:19.000
What is it that you want to say?

00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:21.040
Even if she has a bad character,

00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:23.360
Madam Chunyu isn't that decent either.

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.160
Aunt,

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.840
I suggest you to restrain yourself

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.760
before getting yourself in trouble

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:33.680
for defending her.

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:38.480
If you speak up for Madam Chunyu again,

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:41.040
I'm going to start talking

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.520
about your feats too.

00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:45.600
Next time around,

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.760
I'll speak in front of the princes
and princesses.

00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:56.360
I can't seem to say a word

00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.200
when you were reminiscing
about the past.

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.640
I suppose this meal is already over.

00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:04.120
Later, we'll be going to Fengxian Hall

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.920
to hold a memorial ceremony
for the whole Huo Family.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.040
Heng, why don't you join us?

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:11.320
Why do you think I'm here?

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.160
I get out of Yongle Palace

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.520
precisely for this reason.

00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.240
What an annoying thing!

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:50.880
(Memorial Tablet of Huo Chong)

00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:09.320
What are you staring at

00:06:09.400 --> 00:06:10.520
that makes you lost in thought?

00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:12.880
Greetings, Crown Princess.

00:06:13.320 --> 00:06:14.640
Is everything prepared?

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:18.160
I'm helping Jitong

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.760
to arrange the tributes

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.320
for the ceremony later.

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.920
It's only natural for you to help Mother

00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:25.840
as you learn about etiquette
in Changqiu Palace.

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:28.000
By the way,

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.800
I'm here to send the fragrant balls
for the offerings.

00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:31.040
Where should I place it?

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.880
You can give it to me.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.320
I'll keep this flame stick too.

00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:38.960
Why were you

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.720
so fixated on General Huo's portrait?

00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:45.600
I just find General Huo and Zisheng

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.440
look very similar.

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.720
They all say a boy always resembles
his mother's brother.

00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.240
So it's not very surprising.

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.640
Seeing how you can tell
at one glance proves

00:06:55.640 --> 00:06:57.240
you and Zisheng have deep affection.

00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.520
We're not as good as Crown Prince
in treating you nicely.

00:06:59.640 --> 00:07:01.200
I heard the officials at court

00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:03.400
asked His Highness
to take another concubine.

00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:05.960
His Highness never agreed to it.

00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.520
Brother never agreed

00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:13.160
not because he's fond of Crown Princess.

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.360
It was because he can't forget
someone in the past.

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.880
Crown Princess, am I right?

00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.120
Your Highness,

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.760
we're still not done preparing
for the ceremony.

00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:32.280
Please have a rest
at the side hall first.

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.760
But I especially came here
to talk to Crown Princess.

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:38.600
Didn't you have

00:07:38.760 --> 00:07:41.960
a lot to say to my mother just now?

00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:44.200
Why are you quiet now?

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.200
You have such a depressing character

00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:50.120
and you even dress shabbily.

00:07:50.320 --> 00:07:52.480
How can Brother like you?

00:07:53.640 --> 00:07:55.640
You don't have to make fun of me.

00:07:56.760 --> 00:07:57.840
I almost forgot.

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.840
Her Majesty said to reduce
expenditures in the palace.

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:03.640
Your family is
an ordinary peasant household.

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:07.040
After reducing the expenditures,
I'm afraid you would be even poorer.

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.320
It must be really hard on you

00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:11.120
to sustain the Eastern Palace
all this while.

00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:16.320
These fragrant * used
for prayers are very expensive.

00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:20.040
I was worried you might ruin
the offerings for General Huo

00:08:20.200 --> 00:08:21.880
because you didn't have
enough money to buy them.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.600
Seeing how Brother
is disgusted with you,

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.840
I don't think he'll speak up for you.

00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:38.240
You can continue to sympathize
with each other.

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:40.560
While I...

00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:50.920
-Your Highness!
-Your Highness!

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.400
Your Highness!

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.600
Get up now! You're pinning me down!

00:09:09.280 --> 00:09:11.400
Your Highness, did you hurt yourself?

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.760
Keep your hypocrisy to yourself.

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.520
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.120
just wait and see.

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.960
I'll make you pay sooner or later.

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:29.600
Third Princess has always
looked down on me.

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.480
I'm already used

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.040
to her sneering at me.

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.600
You shouldn't have provoked her
because of me.

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.560
I'm not afraid of her.

00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:38.440
I just find her ridiculous.

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:39.920
She's the Third Princess.

00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:41.840
Why is she behaving like a merchant
who got rich overnight?

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.160
What a showoff.

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:45.360
In those days, His Majesty went to war.

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:46.480
Consort Yue followed him.

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:49.040
Third Princess was raised
at Marquis Yue's residence since young.

00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:51.240
Marquis Yue's wife comes
from a family of merchants.

00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:52.680
You know how those women like

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:54.720
to compare and show off
their clothes and jewelry.

00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.240
That was how her arrogance
and extravagant spending came to be.

00:09:57.640 --> 00:09:59.560
His Majesty has been promoting
the world to be thrifty.

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.280
Yet, she dresses up so brightly.

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.160
Where did she get the money
to spend on these?

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:05.560
She's close to Marquis Yue.

00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:07.360
So it's only natural
she could find a way to make money.

00:10:07.520 --> 00:10:09.920
Unlike me who has an unreliable family.

00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:12.480
Now that you've got on her bad side,

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.800
you must avoid her from now on.

00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:16.960
She is very bad-tempered
and revenges on small things.

00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:18.960
I have a bad temper too.

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:20.480
I also seek revenge over trivial matters.

00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:21.800
After this,

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.760
we'll just see
who's better at revenge, then.

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:30.360
Crown Princess,

00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:33.680
who's the person in the past

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.120
she mentioned just now?

00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:40.480
It's already in the past.

00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:42.040
It's better not to bring it up.

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:02.920
Brother Huo,

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.880
(Memorial Tablet of Huo Chong)
I've been missing you for 15 years now.

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:08.200
Yet, you never visit me in my dreams.

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.320
It was all my fault

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.160
for not making it in time
to save Gu City that year.

00:11:13.880 --> 00:11:14.880
I

00:11:15.640 --> 00:11:17.640
really feel guilty towards you.

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.480
At this moment,

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.960
you're already gone.

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.560
There's nothing for me to say anymore.

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.160
All descendants of the Wen Family

00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:44.120
should remember

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.200
that the glory we have today

00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:48.520
is given to us

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:50.880
by the Huo Family.

00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:56.000
Zisheng,

00:11:57.040 --> 00:11:59.600
bow to your uncle

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:01.720
and let him take a good look

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.960
at you now.

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:40.680
Everyone,

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.400
offer your incense

00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:44.720
to the Huo Family.

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.800
Shaoshang,

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.760
this incense powder
can cause discomfort to your eyes.

00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:21.280
Be careful with it.

00:14:57.640 --> 00:14:58.840
What... What is this?

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.800
Stop burning!

00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:01.520
Someone! Put out the fire!

00:15:02.760 --> 00:15:03.640
Hurry!

00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:05.680
Put out the fire. Make haste!

00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:08.320
Don't panic.

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.360
Take off Third Princess's outer garment.

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.600
Don't touch me!

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.040
I knew

00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:20.760
you can't bear to take off
that fancy clothes.

00:15:20.920 --> 00:15:22.200
You refused to take it off
after I had told you to.

00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:23.880
Do you think you've lived for too long?

00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:25.160
Take it off!

00:15:30.760 --> 00:15:32.400
What's with that necklace?

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.760
It must be you.

00:15:51.280 --> 00:15:53.120
You did something to me

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.360
and deliberately shamed me!

00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:55.960
Today is the Huo Family's
memorial service.

00:15:57.760 --> 00:15:59.320
Who allowed you to wear this?

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.640
I've repeatedly ordered

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.920
to stop spending extravagantly
in the palace

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:08.120
to serve the country.

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.600
But you

00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:12.600
didn't heed my decree.

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.640
Do you still

00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:15.520
respect me as your father?

00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:17.600
Father, forgive me.

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.560
I didn't do it intentionally.

00:16:19.800 --> 00:16:21.680
I only found out
about today's memorial service

00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:22.920
when I visited Mother today.

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.040
I didn't change my clothes

00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.600
because I had to hurry
for the lunch banquet today.

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.960
That's why I could only cover it up
with Mother's robe.

00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:31.200
The Huo Family's
memorial service is once a year.

00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.560
If you forgot it,

00:16:32.680 --> 00:16:34.240
that would be even more unacceptable!

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:36.440
As a princess,

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.160
you received your official salary
from the people.

00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:39.120
Yet, you never remember

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.880
the founding benefactors
of this country in your heart.

00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:44.360
You deserve to be punished.

00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.040
Father,

00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:48.000
Third Sister indeed made a mistake.

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.880
I ask that Father punishes her severely.

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.000
But this is a family matter

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.040
and it's Marquis Huo's memorial service.

00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:56.240
It's improper to punish her
in front of Marquis Huo.

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.600
Lest his spirit feels uneasy.

00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.440
Why not punish her at Yongle Palace?

00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:02.560
Father,

00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:03.880
my cousin, Prince Consort Xuan's

00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:05.920
official salary is less
than 300 cash coins a year.

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:08.000
I'm afraid all clothes and jewelry
Third Sister covers herself with

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.520
cost more than 100 gold.

00:17:09.840 --> 00:17:10.680
These days,

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:12.800
I always see her behave in
an extravagant manner.

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.280
Sometimes, she changed
three sets of jewelry a day.

00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:17.560
A princess
with unknown financial resources

00:17:17.560 --> 00:17:19.200
is not just a family matter, I think.

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:21.320
That's right.

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.640
Tell me.

00:17:22.840 --> 00:17:24.360
Where did you obtain

00:17:24.760 --> 00:17:26.600
so much wealth?

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.040
I...

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.360
I earned it from
opening a restaurant with others.

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:42.040
What's this?

00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:43.160
Father,

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:45.040
this is one of the counterfeit coins

00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:46.560
circulating in Third Sister's fief.

00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:01.120
Third Brother,

00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:03.320
we were born of the same mother.

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.280
You actually tell on me?

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.880
All I know is that the law

00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.600
states any descendants of the royal family
who privately minted coins

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.000
should be guilty of treason.

00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:22.240
You and I are Father's subject first

00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:24.560
before we're siblings.

00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:31.760
You have the audacity
to mint coins without permission.

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.680
We merely found this country
for more than ten years.

00:18:35.800 --> 00:18:36.560
Are you...

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.600
Are you trying
to bring this country to its ruin?

00:18:40.840 --> 00:18:41.800
It wasn't me.

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.600
I didn't know.

00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:46.000
Mother.

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.920
Mother, help me. Please help me.

00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:49.720
There's no mine in my fief.

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.800
How can I mint coins?

00:18:50.800 --> 00:18:52.240
Father, I'm innocent!

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.400
Father,

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.240
I've ordered my men

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.160
to arrest the person
who delivered these coins.

00:18:56.280 --> 00:18:57.960
After the interrogation,

00:18:58.040 --> 00:18:59.280
we found

00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:01.520
that these coins were produced
in Shouchun.

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.760
Shouchun is Junior Lord Qian'an's fief

00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:09.960
and is under the command of Peng Kun,
who is late Lord Qian'an's subordinate.

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.760
That's Xuan Family's doing!

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:14.160
I was implicated by them, Father.

00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:18.720
Third Sister,

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.040
no need to plead your innocence.

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.760
It's your negligence

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.840
that these counterfeit coins

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.000
are circulating in your fief.

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.400
It's only fair to punish you.

00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.440
Zisheng,

00:19:46.520 --> 00:19:49.440
investigate this matter with Ji Zun.

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.720
If Junior Lord Qian'an is behind this,

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.840
just take back

00:19:54.360 --> 00:19:56.680
the mine in Shouchun from him.

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.400
Father,

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:03.120
they minted coins without permission.

00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:05.280
Why did you only take back
the mine from Junior Lord Qian'an?

00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:06.560
Why aren't you killing him?

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.040
Is it because they're indebted
to Empress Xuan?

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.360
Silence!

00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.200
This matter has come to this.

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:13.800
Yet, you remain impenitent

00:20:13.800 --> 00:20:16.200
and try to talk nonsense!

00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:17.880
Someone. Someone!

00:20:18.040 --> 00:20:20.120
Drag her and beat her!

00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:23.160
Father. Father, please!

00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:34.440
Ow, it hurts.

00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:36.400
You're hurting me!

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.360
It hurts so badly!

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.960
Your Highness, I've changed the dressing
for Third Princess.

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.440
I shall take my leave now.

00:21:22.560 --> 00:21:24.920
I can't believe you're in the mood
to compose music.

00:21:25.120 --> 00:21:27.400
Can't you see

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.160
how biased His Majesty was?

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:31.240
If you think the punishment
isn't heavy enough,

00:21:31.320 --> 00:21:33.720
I can plead with His Majesty
to punish her one more time

00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:35.240
and make sure

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.520
to break her legs.

00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:38.480
You...

00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:40.360
It was Junior Lord Qian'an

00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:42.040
who minted coins without permission!

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.840
I was tricked by my subordinates

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.200
into allowing the counterfeit coins
to enter my fief.

00:21:47.280 --> 00:21:49.560
Why did Father only punish me?

00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:50.760
It's not fair!

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.640
Just be quiet.

00:21:52.800 --> 00:21:53.960
You can keep

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.680
this lie to yourself.

00:21:57.080 --> 00:21:58.920
You obviously spent
those counterfeit coins

00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:01.480
in your fief on purpose.

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:02.680
Or else

00:22:02.760 --> 00:22:04.560
where would you get the money

00:22:04.800 --> 00:22:06.920
to buy all those expensive clothes?

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.600
Where did you get the money

00:22:08.840 --> 00:22:10.800
to buy all those jewelries?

00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:13.000
Heng...

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:14.400
You too, Brother.

00:22:18.040 --> 00:22:19.960
Third Princess is stupid.

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:21.760
She would never come up with a plan

00:22:21.760 --> 00:22:23.600
where she could make money in secret

00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:26.160
from the risk Madam Wen Xiu is taking.

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.040
His Majesty didn't order
a strict investigation

00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:31.360
because

00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:34.960
he's giving us, the Yue Family some face.

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:41.880
How did Third Brother know

00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.480
that there are counterfeit coins in my fief?

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:46.360
Someone must be plotting
against the Yue Family without us knowing.

00:22:47.560 --> 00:22:48.480
It's either

00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:50.120
that woman in Changqiu Palace

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.040
or Ling Buyi!

00:22:52.360 --> 00:22:53.680
And Cheng Shaoshang...

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.520
If she didn't devise the plan

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:59.600
to get the robe dragged
the candles down,

00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:01.520
would I have been found out by Father?

00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:03.080
That's because you're stupid!

00:23:17.520 --> 00:23:20.160
How did I give birth to a stupid

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.520
and short-sighted daughter like you?

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:25.240
I really must thank
Cheng Shaoshang for this.

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.920
If it weren't for her plan,

00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:29.760
and your Third Brother's initiative
to expose this matter,

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.760
I can't imagine how many things
you'd do in the future

00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.360
to disgrace the Yue Family.

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.800
Heng. Heng, please.

00:23:37.800 --> 00:23:38.760
Heng, stop.

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.800
You've been together
with His Majesty since you were young.

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.320
You and His Majesty are

00:23:44.320 --> 00:23:46.880
the true husband and wife.

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:50.160
But does His Majesty feel the same too?

00:23:50.520 --> 00:23:53.600
Why does Empress Xuan manage
to oppress you in many ways?

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.560
This time,

00:23:56.560 --> 00:23:59.320
His Majesty spared Junior Lord Qian'an

00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:01.560
because of Empress Xuan.

00:24:01.560 --> 00:24:02.800
But what about you?

00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:06.120
He ignored your feelings

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.520
and punished Third Princess severely.

00:24:11.320 --> 00:24:12.320
Third Brother,

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:14.680
I did say this.

00:24:15.800 --> 00:24:16.880
If anyone

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.520
brings this up again,

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:22.280
I'll punish them severely.

00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:29.200
I'm going to say it anyway.

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.440
Heng.

00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:40.920
His Majesty had nothing

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.560
when we followed him in the past.

00:24:42.840 --> 00:24:43.880
All the soldiers and horses

00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.160
during the rise of the rebellion
belonged to the Yue Family.

00:24:46.360 --> 00:24:48.240
His Majesty fell in love
with you at first sight

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.240
and even swore to the world
that he would marry you as his wife.

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.200
But who knew

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.840
the relationship
between childhood sweetheart

00:24:54.840 --> 00:24:57.520
can't be compared to his great cause?

00:24:58.120 --> 00:24:59.960
To borrow Xuan Family's wealth

00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:01.640
and their troops,

00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:03.640
he married a woman from the Xuan Family.

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.520
In fact, it doesn't really matter.

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.440
But be it feelings or reasons,

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.400
you came first before she did.

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.640
How can it be decided

00:25:12.760 --> 00:25:14.400
that she became the Empress

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:17.160
but you became the concubine?

00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:20.880
It's so unfair.

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.520
The Xuan Family exhausted their wealth

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:25.840
to fight for His Majesty's cause.

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.600
The Huo Family
who once followed His Majesty

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.000
were all wiped out.

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:32.880
But the Yue Family

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.360
still has us both.

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.280
To appease me,

00:25:39.520 --> 00:25:41.240
His Majesty ordered that both palaces
be of the same rank.

00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:44.320
So how is this fair

00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.920
to the Empress?

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.000
How is this fair

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:49.720
to the mentally unstable Huo Junhua?

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:52.880
I knew what you want.

00:25:53.280 --> 00:25:54.320
Today,

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.080
I'll make myself clear.

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.720
I've already got

00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:59.320
what I wanted.

00:25:59.520 --> 00:26:01.280
I'm not interested

00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:03.920
in the things you want.

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.280
You better stop causing trouble
in my name.

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.240
If there's a next time,

00:26:11.080 --> 00:26:12.440
don't blame me

00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:16.040
for forsaking our kinship.

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.880
Chong!

00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:45.320
Chong!

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.600
Chong, look!

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:48.240
Look at me.

00:26:49.280 --> 00:26:50.320
See

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.080
if I look beautiful in this.

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.480
Is it all right if I wear this
to see Brother Wen?

00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:57.200
You look beautiful.

00:26:57.320 --> 00:26:58.760
This is what I wore

00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:00.200
to Lord Qian'an's birthday banquet.

00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:02.000
I looked more beautiful than Yue Heng.

00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:03.680
Have you done

00:27:05.040 --> 00:27:06.400
anything wrong to her?

00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:09.160
I hate Yue Heng and ordered someone
to have her kidnapped.

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.840
If you and Brother Wen hadn't come in time,

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:13.080
Yue Heng

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:14.600
would have frozen to death.

00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:16.720
I didn't expect...

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.120
I didn't expect Brother Wen

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:21.600
to ignore me from that day onward.

00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:27.240
Based on your understanding
of the Yue Family,

00:27:28.840 --> 00:27:30.760
would Marquis Yue come to our rescue

00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:34.800
if both of us were in danger?

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:37.280
Chong, you're a capable person.

00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:39.360
Why would you be in danger?

00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:48.480
Wait a minute...

00:27:52.320 --> 00:27:54.160
The Yue Family army didn't come.

00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:58.720
Lord Qian'an didn't come too.

00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.400
None of them came.

00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:11.760
Chong,

00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:17.280
you died.

00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:22.600
You died in Gu City

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:25.960
more than ten years ago.

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.080
You died!

00:28:46.600 --> 00:28:49.880
She wore a red garment and jewelry
under a mourning robe?

00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:51.120
This Yue Family

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.840
has really gone too far.

00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:54.720
Luckily, Fourth Lady Cheng exposed

00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.200
this matter.

00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:57.760
I never thought of this before.

00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:59.080
When I think of it,

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.600
it'd be

00:29:00.600 --> 00:29:03.160
so satisfying to have

00:29:03.320 --> 00:29:04.440
a vengeful Young Madam like her.

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:16.160
Young Master,

00:29:16.360 --> 00:29:17.440
it was just as you'd expected.

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:19.760
Marquis Yue and Third Princess plotted

00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:21.320
to trap Madam Wen Xiu

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:24.480
into inciting Junior Lord Qian'an
in minting coins without permission.

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.520
We secretly notified Third Prince
of this matter.

00:29:27.800 --> 00:29:29.440
Indeed, he put aside his kin
in the face of justice.

00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:32.480
It's a pity that His Majesty decided
to calm things down

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:35.040
and saw this as a mistake made
by his daughter out of greed for money.

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:36.680
So he no longer pursues this matter.

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:40.960
Minting coins without permission
is punishable by death.

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:43.280
But if this matter involves
Third Princess,

00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:45.120
Madam Wen Xiu, and Marquis Yue,

00:29:45.280 --> 00:29:46.960
His Majesty can only play fair

00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:48.840
by handling it with care

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.800
and playing down the matter.

00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:54.320
I saved late Lord Qian'an's son and daughter

00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:55.760
from capital punishment this time.

00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:58.920
It can also be regarded
as paying back his kindness

00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:03.120
that he was willing to sacrifice
his life to save my uncle.

00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:06.080
His Majesty knew Third Princess

00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:07.480
is not capable of planning all these.

00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:09.600
Yet, he still doesn't investigate
Marquis Yue.

00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:12.400
If we want to catch Marquis Yue...

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.080
We must make him commit
an even greater sin.

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:18.120
Marquis Yue is a cunning man.

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.360
It won't be easy for him to slip.

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.400
If Madam Wen Xiu was half
as smart as he is,

00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:25.600
Lord Qian'an's bloodline
wouldn't develop like this.

00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:28.360
She managed to get out of trouble
because of you.

00:30:28.360 --> 00:30:29.560
Yet, she still keeps going at it.

00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:31.080
See this?

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:32.120
Today, we managed
to intercept the letter

00:30:32.120 --> 00:30:33.600
she secretly sent a letter

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:35.720
to her son, Wang Long.

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:38.040
(How could the Qian'an Royalty suffer
such humiliation?)

00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:42.760
"How could the Qian'an Royalty

00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:44.880
suffer such humiliation?

00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:46.620
(Then hand over the money)
How can we keep a foothold

00:30:46.620 --> 00:30:48.320
(to support your uncle.)
if we lost Shouchun?

00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:50.360
I hope you could go out for battle

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:52.360
to gain some accomplishments

00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:53.960
by suppressing bandits.

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.320
Then hand over the money

00:30:57.040 --> 00:30:58.520
to support your uncle."

00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:05.840
What a fool.

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.080
Her father died without any clear reason

00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:10.200
and she didn't even investigate it.

00:31:11.120 --> 00:31:12.440
All she does is finding ways

00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:14.360
to fund her brother all day.

00:31:19.360 --> 00:31:20.240
Send this letter

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.040
to Wang Long as it is.

00:31:22.520 --> 00:31:24.040
And let the mountain bandits know

00:31:24.280 --> 00:31:25.680
that His Majesty is suppressing
the bandits

00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:28.160
and only allows return with victory.

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.560
Young Master,

00:31:29.800 --> 00:31:31.400
do you intend to have Wang Long captured?

00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:34.200
Keeping fools like Wang Chun
and his son in court

00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:36.080
will endanger the country
sooner or later.

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.760
Just let them be dismissed
from their positions because of this.

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:41.200
Better than making
a big mistake in the future

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.480
and destroying the whole clan.

00:32:13.760 --> 00:32:14.960
You even prick your finger

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:16.800
when embroidering your dowry.

00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:18.200
How are you going

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:21.440
to be Zisheng's wife in the future?

00:32:24.040 --> 00:32:26.680
The Empress always praises

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:28.280
that you're wise and thorough.

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.360
If we really let you organize

00:32:31.360 --> 00:32:32.720
the Empress's birthday banquet,

00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:34.560
can you even do it

00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:36.600
when you're this clumsy?

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:38.400
I... I really can't do it.

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:42.120
Your Majesty,

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:44.840
it has only been a little over a month
since I began to learn proper conduct here.

00:32:44.840 --> 00:32:45.960
I don't know everything.

00:32:46.040 --> 00:32:48.560
I'm not as capable as Jitong
in dealing with all these.

00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:49.560
Besides,

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.400
I still have to follow your orders

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:52.960
to spare some time

00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:56.200
to go on a romantic outing
with General Ling.

00:32:56.520 --> 00:32:57.840
Where can I find the time

00:32:57.840 --> 00:33:00.200
to organize such an important event
as Her Majesty's birthday banquet?

00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:03.200
Your Majesty, please don't pressure me.

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:05.440
I knew you would try to get out of this.

00:33:06.120 --> 00:33:08.600
You clearly try to back out
from this responsibility

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.240
and insist on pushing

00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:12.160
this responsibility on me.

00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:13.480
All right.

00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:15.000
As for this birthday banquet,

00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.880
I insist on having you organize it.

00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:20.600
So you can't escape and stay idly.

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:28.680
(Army defeated after a fierce battle
with mountain bandits.)

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:31.360
What?

00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:33.200
Wang Long took his men
to suppress the bandits

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.600
and the entire army is now trapped?

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:35.880
Zisheng,

00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:37.680
what do I do now?

00:33:38.080 --> 00:33:39.800
How should I explain this to Father?

00:33:41.080 --> 00:33:42.680
Wang Long acted on his own
and brought his men to battle

00:33:43.080 --> 00:33:44.320
without authorization.

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.960
His Majesty will be furious if he knows it.

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:48.920
If you want to save his life,

00:33:50.120 --> 00:33:52.000
you can order Wang Chun
to step down from his position.

00:33:52.600 --> 00:33:54.360
For the sake of his affection
for late Lord Qian'an,

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.760
His Majesty may spare Wang Long's life.

00:33:56.840 --> 00:33:58.560
But my uncle, General Wang

00:33:58.720 --> 00:33:59.840
is still in his prime.

00:33:59.840 --> 00:34:01.280
How can he step down from his position?

00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:03.280
Zisheng,

00:34:03.280 --> 00:34:04.240
how about

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:05.800
we lead the troops quietly

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:07.520
and return after we save Wang Long?

00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:08.560
If we do this,

00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:10.000
Father won't know.

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:10.840
Your Highness,

00:34:12.520 --> 00:34:14.320
it will be deceiving His Majesty

00:34:16.040 --> 00:34:17.760
if you lead troops to war
without authorization.

00:34:20.200 --> 00:34:21.280
But General Wang is

00:34:21.720 --> 00:34:23.200
after all my uncle.

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:24.400
Your Highness.

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:27.360
As the Crown Prince,

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:29.000
His Majesty hates it

00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.000
when you're too close
to your maternal relatives.

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:32.520
As the son of His Majesty,

00:34:32.680 --> 00:34:34.000
you can order the officials.

00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:35.880
But you must not
let the officials order you about.

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:37.400
Also,

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.160
Wang Chun is not
a capable military general.

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:41.440
If you hadn't acquired
that position for him,

00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.320
he would have been far from qualified
to lead an army.

00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:47.840
When you ascend to the throne one day,

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.520
everything you see and think

00:34:50.520 --> 00:34:52.120
must not only be just one family
or one clan.

00:34:53.600 --> 00:34:55.440
You must consider thousands of families.

00:34:57.720 --> 00:34:58.760
As an emperor,

00:34:59.720 --> 00:35:01.880
you must never appoint people
based on relations.

00:35:08.740 --> 00:35:09.740
Your Majesty,

00:35:10.180 --> 00:35:11.940
you must think about this again.

00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:14.580
There are so many princes
and princesses in the palace.

00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:16.700
If you let me take care of Her Majesty's

00:35:16.700 --> 00:35:18.020
birthday banquet to me,

00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:20.060
I'm really worried I can't do it well.

00:35:20.300 --> 00:35:21.500
It doesn't matter.

00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:23.780
After you marry Zisheng,

00:35:23.780 --> 00:35:25.820
you'll have to take care
of household matters.

00:35:26.020 --> 00:35:28.620
You can't avoid receiving
and sending guests at home.

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:30.980
I believe you can do it.

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:33.100
So stop avoiding it.

00:35:39.260 --> 00:35:40.380
Your Majesty,

00:35:40.700 --> 00:35:42.700
the Crown Prince requests
for an audience.

00:35:43.060 --> 00:35:44.180
He said

00:35:44.660 --> 00:35:45.940
it was urgent.

00:36:08.860 --> 00:36:09.820
Mother.

00:36:20.860 --> 00:36:21.700
Your Majesty,

00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:23.620
you have to tell me

00:36:23.620 --> 00:36:25.860
how did they organize
the Qianqiu Banquet in the past.

00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:27.700
I'm clueless about this.

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:34.940
It's just drinking and eating
with the officials.

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:37.300
It's just that there are more songs

00:36:37.540 --> 00:36:39.580
and dances
than at an ordinary family banquet.

00:36:40.100 --> 00:36:41.580
He deserted his post
without authorization!

00:36:42.020 --> 00:36:43.660
Now, he's captured by the bandits!

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:45.860
Why are you defending him
over such behavior?

00:36:49.660 --> 00:36:50.620
Your Majesty,

00:36:50.900 --> 00:36:52.220
what do you think

00:36:52.220 --> 00:36:53.460
about the mandarin ducks I embroidered?

00:36:57.740 --> 00:36:58.700
Your Majesty?

00:37:01.060 --> 00:37:02.420
Stalling tactics?

00:37:02.900 --> 00:37:04.740
I can't believe you came up

00:37:04.740 --> 00:37:06.260
with such a ridiculous argument!

00:37:06.580 --> 00:37:08.500
Are you trying to deceive me

00:37:08.740 --> 00:37:10.220
to defend that fool, Wang Long?

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:11.780
As the Crown Prince,

00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:15.020
you should understand the importance
of state affairs and family affairs.

00:37:15.100 --> 00:37:16.900
No matter how close you are,

00:37:16.900 --> 00:37:18.140
you should deal with it strictly

00:37:18.140 --> 00:37:19.860
if they violate the law.

00:37:20.060 --> 00:37:23.380
Can you see how partial you look
when begging for him?

00:37:23.700 --> 00:37:25.580
Can you still call yourself
the Crown Prince?

00:37:27.500 --> 00:37:29.260
If you're worried about His Highness,

00:37:29.260 --> 00:37:30.660
I can check on them

00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:32.100
as I send tea for them.

00:37:37.100 --> 00:37:38.260
It's all right.

00:37:40.860 --> 00:37:43.140
It's not the first time
the Crown Prince

00:37:43.580 --> 00:37:45.060
has been reprimanded by His Majesty.

00:37:45.540 --> 00:37:47.140
After His Majesty vents his anger,

00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:49.140
he'll be fine after several days.

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:52.420
It's my fault for not raising him well.

00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:55.980
That's why he has my temperament.

00:37:56.940 --> 00:37:59.020
Weak, indecisive,

00:37:59.540 --> 00:38:00.940
and appoint relatives to official posts.

00:38:02.660 --> 00:38:03.580
Who says so?

00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:05.140
Your Majesty is this world's

00:38:05.140 --> 00:38:06.820
most gentle and considerate woman.

00:38:06.820 --> 00:38:09.020
His Highness is kind and benevolent

00:38:09.020 --> 00:38:10.740
because he's just like you.

00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:13.020
After His Highness ascends
to the throne in the future,

00:38:13.180 --> 00:38:15.700
he'll be a benevolent emperor.

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:18.180
If he's an ordinary person,

00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:22.300
I'd be proud to have such a kind son.

00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:25.060
But he's the Crown Prince

00:38:25.540 --> 00:38:27.540
and the emperor in the future.

00:38:28.700 --> 00:38:30.740
Then it's not something
to be proud of anymore.

00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:32.940
Why can't a Crown Prince
be kind and benevolent?

00:38:33.540 --> 00:38:35.020
Who dictates this so?

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:38.420
It's a little over ten years
since His Majesty built this dynasty.

00:38:38.420 --> 00:38:40.180
The foundation isn't solid yet.

00:38:40.780 --> 00:38:43.860
He needs to make decisions all the time.

00:38:44.140 --> 00:38:46.460
The Crown Prince may be kind-hearted.

00:38:46.700 --> 00:38:50.220
But he may not be
the best candidate for high positions.

00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:54.100
If he were an ordinary child

00:38:54.700 --> 00:38:55.700
and

00:38:56.220 --> 00:38:58.180
I were an ordinary mother,

00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:00.300
that would be nice.

00:39:58.260 --> 00:39:59.620
Why didn't you cover yourself
with a cloak?

00:40:00.100 --> 00:40:01.300
If you catch a cold,

00:40:01.540 --> 00:40:04.020
how can you serve Her Majesty later?

00:40:07.180 --> 00:40:08.100
Mother,

00:40:10.740 --> 00:40:12.420
have you ever thought

00:40:13.100 --> 00:40:14.460
about how I'd turn out

00:40:14.980 --> 00:40:16.380
before I was born?

00:40:19.540 --> 00:40:20.540
Why

00:40:20.700 --> 00:40:22.620
are you asking this all of a sudden?

00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:29.100
Her Majesty told me

00:40:31.580 --> 00:40:33.860
that she wished
the Crown Prince is an ordinary child.

00:40:36.100 --> 00:40:37.740
Even if he lives a mediocre life,

00:40:38.380 --> 00:40:40.660
it'll be the best thing

00:40:41.180 --> 00:40:42.980
if he can live happily and safely.

00:40:44.580 --> 00:40:46.300
Do you think the same too?

00:40:57.460 --> 00:40:59.540
I knew I overthink.

00:41:00.460 --> 00:41:02.700
You don't like people
of no use the most.

00:41:03.500 --> 00:41:05.020
I'm sure the kind of child
you want is

00:41:05.020 --> 00:41:07.660
someone obedient and sensible
like Yangyang.

00:41:09.020 --> 00:41:10.660
Why would you want an unruly,

00:41:11.380 --> 00:41:12.540
disobedient,

00:41:12.740 --> 00:41:14.380
stubborn daughter like me?

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:19.380
I've let you down.

00:41:22.900 --> 00:41:24.140
I should go to sleep now.

00:41:45.180 --> 00:41:46.420
What's the matter, Dear?

00:41:47.260 --> 00:41:49.220
Why aren't you resting in the room?

00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:56.300
Niaoniao asked me

00:41:57.700 --> 00:42:00.100
what kind of person
I expected her to be in the future.

00:42:01.660 --> 00:42:02.780
Why did she ask

00:42:03.100 --> 00:42:05.740
such a thing for no reason
in the middle of the night?

00:42:08.300 --> 00:42:10.260
Her Majesty told her

00:42:10.660 --> 00:42:13.260
she wished the Crown Prince
to be an ordinary person

00:42:13.660 --> 00:42:15.300
and stay away
from the scandalous royal court.

00:42:16.300 --> 00:42:18.020
It's the first time

00:42:18.420 --> 00:42:20.620
Niaoniao is considerate
of one's parents' suffering.

00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:26.940
But it wasn't because of us.

00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:29.700
As people grow older,

00:42:30.060 --> 00:42:32.700
their parents won't be the only people
they seek guidance from.

00:42:33.180 --> 00:42:35.700
It's not a bad thing to learn
from others.

00:42:35.980 --> 00:42:39.100
It's better than not knowing
parents' sufferings, right?

00:42:42.500 --> 00:42:45.820
Dear, are you jealous
that Niaoniao learned

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:48.140
to be considerate
of a parent's feelings from Her Majesty?

00:42:48.420 --> 00:42:49.820
There's nothing to be jealous about.

00:42:54.660 --> 00:42:56.220
I was only saying.

00:42:56.220 --> 00:42:57.700
Dear, don't be mad.

00:43:00.420 --> 00:43:01.980
Will she make me sleep outside?

00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:49.030
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:58.030
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:43:59.600 --> 00:44:06.920
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:44:08.350 --> 00:44:15.520
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.230
The light between your brows

00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.710
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:44:25.500 --> 00:44:32.840
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:43.120
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:51.840
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:44:52.430 --> 00:45:00.560
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:45:01.120 --> 00:45:04.790
Both of us will be

00:45:05.150 --> 00:45:16.010
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:45:18.350 --> 00:45:24.660
Our sincerity
