=Episode 18=

Yueling,

I've been assisting the Ministry of Revenue

and taking charge of the Capital Government.

The West Market is within my jurisdiction.

Wait a little longer.

I will give Dongyu people a good life.

So, this is what you've been busy with lately?

Things are complicated.

So, I didn't spare any time to see you.

- Don't think I... - Oh.

The ladies in the abandoned palace...

You know that?

I felt bad for what you suffered

and punished them regardless of anything.

That's cool, actually.

What's this?

When you're here,

you need money for your own business.

I neglected that before.

Take the banknotes.

If you need more, let me know.

Don't bother.

I've got a solution.

You took Zhou Zhixuan's money instead of mine?

I...

I borrowed that from him.

I'm done talking to you.

Let go of me.

Not until you take the money.

Fine, I'll take it.

Look what I've got here.

This is the lipstick from the West Market

with Mr. Perfect's painting on it.

Let me have a look.

You have good taste.

I had someone buy it for me

at a very high price.

I also hear this lipstick is made

of the material as good as that in Diexuan Store.

It has

Mr. Perfect's painting.

And only five pieces are sold a day.

I also heard

the dancers in town used this lipstick

to have fascinated

those young playboys.

I want one, too.

Will you sell it to me?

I got one after big trouble.

Why would I sell it?

I'll pay more, all right?

I always have a lot of money.

I just won't sell it.

What kind of lipstick can be so attractive?

How shortsighted!

You can't get one, anyway.

I want it, too.

- Sell it to me. - I want it.

Hey, give it back to me. Come on.

- Let me see. - Give it back.

It's mine.

Her Highness is making a lot of money a day.

One lipstick costs a hundred taels.

Only five pieces are sold a day.

Limited selling is such a great idea.

I heard Her Highness saved many Dongyu slaves

with the money she made.

Yueling is such a good girl.

One more thing.

Mr. Qin Siyuan has painted

on the pots of their lipsticks.

They're popular with the ladies.

I hear the South Prince is involved, too.

He often visits them.

(Pleasant and Harmonious)

Qin Siyuan?

It's fun.

Where are you going?

To the West Market.

(The West Market)

Come have a look.

Thank you.

You've taken your friends here,

so my lipsticks sell so well.

Not at all, Your Grace.

Even if I didn't come,

your goods would also sell very well.

Thanks to you, anyway.

Look, the lipsticks

are selling so well.

It's you who sell lipsticks

with Mr. Perfect's paintings, huh?

We are.

You know, our products are expensive.

- So... - I understand.

I have money. Here.

Wait.

Only five pieces are available a day.

Let's see who offers the highest price.

Fine, then.

Pack the vermilion for me.

I'll pay a hundred taels.

A hundred taels? You can only get a small one.

I'll offer 150 taels, then.

- I want one, too. - I came first.

- I also want one. - Don't grab.

Give me one.

- Be patient. - Give me one. I want it.

First come, first served.

Be patient. There's enough for you.

You have to pay first.

What's the noise, Xu?

Go restrain them!

They woke me up.

Your Highness, bad news.

The noble girls are fighting for the lipsticks.

What's so bad about it?

Let them be.

Don't make a fuss. My sleep was disturbed.

- Whose money shall I take? - Mine.

I'll offer two hundred taels.

- Nice and orderly. - Don't grab!

Ashina Zhu? What are you doing here?

- Princess Luoyi? - Luoyi?

There you are.

- Gao Luoyi? - Yeah.

You don't like these lipsticks, do you?

- Why do you fight? - Yeah.

Why do you want one when you don't even like it?

I offered first and it's mine.

- First come, first served. - I came first.

- I came first. - I did.

- I came first. - Give it to me.

It's yours now. Take it.

It's mine.

First come, first served.

Don't you know the rule?

Give it to me. It's mine.

We asked for it first.

- Don't be in a mess. - Why can you grab?

- Wait. - The soldiers!

Here come the soldiers!

I was here first.

Give it to me.

Your Grace!

- Your Grace! - Honey!

- Your Grace. - Honey.

Honey.

Catch anyone who is involved!

- Yes! - Yes!

(The Capital Government)

Somebody!

- Let us out! - Anybody?

Let us out!

Let us out!

- I want to go home. - Anybody there?

You're daring!

How dare you imprison me?

My father will not let you go!

- Yeah. You can't get away. - Come on.

Somebody come!

The Princess of Dongyu will be all right, huh?

She just collapsed, I think.

I didn't hit her.

She hit the table herself

as if she lost her mind.

Noble ladies,

stop shouting.

Save your breath.

Unless the North Prince approves,

we won't dare to release you.

Ask...

Ask Shiyu to come and save me.

Hey, don't go. Don't.

Don't go.

- Your Majesty. - Mercy, Your Majesty.

(Deqing Hall) Your Majesty, do justice to my daughter!

My daughter has been gentle.

She wouldn't do anything like that, Your Majesty.

She must be innocent.

Yeah, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Be perceptive, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please be perceptive.

My daughter has been timid.

She would never fight anyone.

Your Majesty.

Marquis Qixuan, Minister Liu, Prince Gao Shan,

and Commandant Ma

have been waiting out there for a long time.

Will you see them?

No, I won't!

On the West Market, their daughters fought the North Princess Consort

for some lipsticks

and were caught in prison.

Now, they're here, asking me

for their daughters.

Ask them to talk to Shiyu!

Yes.

I told them several times.

But they just don't leave.

They are

important ministers of our court.

Isn't it inappropriate to have them

make a scene like this?

Let them kneel, then!

Your Majesty.

How's the North Princess Consort?

Your Majesty,

Her Highness woke up.

Glad to hear that.

Get Shiyu to me.

Time to put an end.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

I didn't have this daughter until I was old.

In her life, she has never been

in prison before.

Your Majesty,

my daughter has been timid.

She would never fight anyone

on the street.

Please be perceptive, Your Majesty.

My daughter has always been disciplined.

There must be some misunderstanding.

- Yes. - That's right.

- There must be some misunderstanding. - Yeah.

Gentlemen, you love your daughters

and beg His Majesty to release them.

But my consort is still in a coma.

Do you think your daughters

have not even a single responsibility?

Umm...

There are many ladies in the palace

and sometimes they don't get along.

Your Highness,

you'd better not be too serious.

Oh, are you saying

your daughter has done nothing wrong

and I'm being fussy?

In this case,

can I ask my maid

to knock your daughter out

and will you let go of her?

- What? You... - Your Majesty.

Your Highness,

you're being too aggressive.

How can you be so rude to your seniors?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

How can you be so rude?

I'm just being reasonable

instead of begging for mercy with seniority.

And I won't threaten His Majesty with my merit.

Before your daughters

apologize to my consort

and get her forgiveness,

I'll hold them accountable.

But...

Her Highness is in a coma.

How can our daughters apologize to her?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

If my consort can't wake up,

I'm afraid your daughters will have to pay with their lives.

Zhou Shiyu!

- Don't scare me. - Your Majesty.

Please don't, Your Majesty.

Be perceptive, Your Majesty.

- Be perceptive. - Please.

The physician I sent just came and told me.

The North Princess Consort woke up.

She's a bit unconscious, though.

Unconscious?

Brother,

She'll have the lingering effects, I think.

Please punish those ladies

of unlawful wounding.

- What? What do we do? - What do we do?

Your Majesty, please don't.

Your Majesty.

We really didn't mean to...

Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

This is real trouble.

Yeah. It's...

You've made me afraid.

Well...

Since Her Highness is awake,

why don't you just let them go?

If you want something,

let me know.

Please don't punish my daughter.

Since you offer this,

for the sake that you're a good father,

how about we do this?

You have your daughter apologize to my consort

and beg for her forgiveness.

It's... It's acceptable.

That's all?

Since I let her go so easily,

Prince Gao Shan,

you certainly owe this to me.

Now, the policy of the West Market

has been greatly hindered.

You have high prestige in the court.

I guess you can help, huh?

- Yes. -We can help.

Yes. We can help.

The four of us will work together

to make you get what you want.

That's right.

I'll count on you, then.

All right.

We're going to see the Prime Minister now.

- Yes. - That's right.

We're going now.

Jingyuan will do me the favor.

That's right.

Thank you, everybody.

Prime Minister.

Have those old ministers left?

Yes.

They brought up the old stories with great familiarity.

Zhou Shiyu has quite a lot of helpers.

Will we just satisfy them?

I have to respect these old ministers.

Otherwise, they would

all blame me

for their imprisoned daughters.

It's not time to offend them yet.

(The West Market)

- Look. - There he is.

At His Majesty's command,

Dongyu people can do business on the West Market

as legal merchants in Beishuo.

They need to pay as many taxes

as the native merchants do.

No officials have the right to detain

the vendors or the goods.

From this day on,

Dongyu people no longer need to hide.

- Great! - Nice!

- This is great! - Nice!

Wonderful!

Your Grace, you hurt your own body.

I really feel sorry.

To help Dongyu people,

this injury is nothing.

Yueling.

Don't worry, Yueling. It's me.

You freaked me out.

I thought it was someone from the palace.

Rest assured, Yueling.

They won't come again.

A royal decree has been issued.

Dongyu people can do business

on the West Market.

- Really? - This day has finally come!

What I suffered is worth it.

The North Prince is good.

For you,

he made a big scene in the court.

I also didn't expect him

to do this much for me.

Oh, Yueling.

Vendors on the West Market are worried about you.

I kept telling them that you were fine.

(Invitation) They didn't believe.

They said

they couldn't stop worrying before they saw you.

So,

I accepted their invitation for you.

But Your Highness,

Her Grace is still injured.

How about we turn them down?

I should go.

I'm all right now.

I can't waste

what they've prepared for me.

If I don't go,

they'll worry about me.

That's great, Yueling.

Let's go together.

Sure.

Umm, can I invite Su Nian?

She helped, too.

You can, of course.

Miss Su Nian must come.

And Mr. Perfect.

Oh, and the South Prince.

We should thank him for his lipsticks.

Go invite them.

All right. I'm on it.

This is so great.

Your Grace,

what about the North Prince?

Oh, him.

I'll invite him myself.

What is this?

Tea cake.

Tea cake?

How much money will you charge this time?

How would I charge you?

I made it for you.

Oh, that's weird.

I didn't do anything.

Why did you make it for me?

No grief talking, please.

You made great contributions.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of all Dongyu people

on the West Market.

You flatter me.

You made more contributions.

You set a trap with yourself.

You even trapped me, too.

Sorry.

I shouldn't have trapped you.

Don't be angry.

Tonight, vendors of the West Market will hold a banquet to thank us.

Shall we go together?

I have a business to handle.

Maybe next time.

Sorry.

I was forced.

I didn't have a choice.

I'm not angry because you trapped me,

but because you risked your own life.

What if I hadn't arrived in time?

What if I hadn't solved this smoothly?

How would you end up?

When you're in trouble, I want you

to think of me in the first place.

You can tell me about anything.

We'll think of a way together.

Does it still hurt?

No.

Not at all.

Come on.

I'll go with you.

Here we go.

Run. Quickly.

- Slowly. - Be careful.

You're going the opposite way.

Come over here.

Slowly. Slowly.

Take it easy.

They're coming soon.

Make the food smell good, please.

Su Nian.

Here.

The special glutinous rice wine from Dongyu.

Taste some.

Come on.

It does taste good.

Come on.

Come here.

The South Prince is here.

Come on. Make way.

He bumped into me.

Didn't you see His Highness?

What is wrong with you?

Hey, you.

- There he is. - Yang Xu.

Didn't you see?

Come on. Make away, please.

Aren't you ashamed enough?

But Your Highness...

Let's go.

The North Prince and the Princess are here.

They are here.

Come over.

The North Prince and the Princess are here.

Come over here. There they are.

Your Highness.

Your Grace.

Thank you for how you helped us.

We're finally legal.

Do not kneel.

- Get up. - You may rise.

Get up, everybody.

Get up, please.

Wait a minute.

Wait.

Why do you not thank me?

I did most to help you.

Why did you thank Zhou Shiyu?

It's unfair.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Grace, Your Highness.

Come in here, please.

Thanks, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you.

Thanks to you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Enough, enough.

Princess Yueling.

Do you remember me?

When you were little,

your father took you to our tribe.

At that time,

you were only this tall.

Too soon,

you can take on great responsibilities.

Old man, you get the wrong woman.

This is my consort, Ashina Zhu.

Yeah. I'm Ashina Zhu, the Eldest Princess.

The Eldest Princess?

But I remember you're Princess Yueling.

You remember it wrong.

Sorry, I have old eyes.

Forgive me, Your Grace.

- Forgive me. - Never mind.

Thanks.

Here, Your Grace.

Let's drink.

Come on. Cheers.

(Yueling? Princess?)

(Princess Yueling?)

We Dongyu people can sing and dance in the Capital City.

This is so great.

There in Dongyu,

did you live such a life every day?

Yes, of course.

In Dongyu,

we can ride a horse every day

and enjoy a big feast.

Life was great there.

What about now? Is life still great?

It's not as wonderful as that in Dongyu.

But I have Xingyi, Qianqian,

and some new friends.

And...

I can do something for my people.

Life is good, too.

Is that all?

I have you, too. It's good.

Xingyi,

drink more with me.

No, Su Nian.

You can't drink anymore.

You can't.

When I'm drunk,

many things will be readily solved.

What are you talking about?

Xingyi,

I'm sorry.

Really sorry.

Su Nian,

you're drunk.

Let me walk you home.

- Let me get you up. - I'm sorry.

- Sorry. - Slowly. Come on.

Be careful.

(Su Nian?)

(Can it be...?)

Siyuan,

the pilaf tastes good.

Come on. Taste it.

I don't want any.

Thanks, anyway.

Your Highness, don't eat too much.

In case you get a stomach ache.

It doesn't matter.

Come on, Your Highness.

Zhou Shiyu and the Princess of Dongyu

are having a romantic moment.

Why are you still eating here?

What?

Dating behind my back again?

Let's go, Your Highness.

Siyuan,

I thought a handsome and talented man like you

would make Her Grace fall in love with you

and break up with Zhou Shiyu.

I had the wrong plan.

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

It doesn't matter.

Her Grace is just too cunning.

I have to do something myself.

Let's go.

How could you come here,

dating privately?

Why can't a couple like us

date privately?

But you...

Why do you pester my consort?

What couple? What consort?

She isn't titled yet.

Before that, everyone has a chance.

Besides,

Ashina Zhu,

you promised to marry me.

Your Highness,

what part of mine do you like?

I'll change, all right?

There are many other noble girls.

Look at them, will you?

No part of yours is good.

But you're Zhou Shiyu's woman.

So, I must fight with him for you.

You guys fight, then.

Up... Upset again, huh?

Xu,

I had to do something myself, right?

You're the best, Your Highness.

Let's go.

Did you figure out the weaknesses of Zhou Shiyu

and the Princess of Dongyu?

I haven't figured out

their weaknesses or flaws.

You keep staying undercover.

When possible,

steal the jade pendants.

When the two of them aren't together,

assassinate them

and kill them.

I know I failed many times.

I can't hold you up anymore, Master.

Never mind.

You leave us.

Yes.

I think Su Nian

has become disloyal.

She's still covering for them.

Stop giving her the antidote.

She's of no use, after all.

Yes, Master.

(The North Prince's Mansion)

Yueling.

The beef jerky made in Beishuo

tastes as good as that made in Dongyu.

What do you actually think highly of,

some beef jerky or someone here?

If you say so,

I should take some to Su Nian.

Qianqian, look.

Prince Xingyi

wants to give Miss Su Nian

whatever he has.

Maybe it's just like what you always say.

- A grown man can't be kept home. - A grown man can't be kept home.

Don't tease me.

The North Prince is the same.

What's going on?

Your Highness.

What's all this?

His Majesty gave His Highness the rewards.

But His Highness said,

Your Highness made great contributions

to the business on the West Market

where both people could benefit.

So, His Highness asked me

to bring you all these rewards.

Yueling,

I'm right about him, huh?

Yes, yes.

His Highness is totally right.

Every time the North Prince

gets something good,

he has it sent to Her Grace.

He cares about you, Your Grace.

He cares about you only.

You're always honey-tongued.

Go put them away.

All right.

Come this way, please.

The West Market is flourishing.

Dongyu vendors will settle down here.

You don't need to worry anymore.

When they can live

a good, happy life,

it doesn't matter where they stay.

Your Grace.

I thought you were a fake princess.

But you turned out to be real.

I thought you were a young princess,

innocent and ignorant.

I didn't expect...

Expect what?

I didn't expect you to be

a righteous and caring princess.

Your Highness,

why do I think

you want something from me?

Oh, you can see that.

Tell me about it.

Tomorrow night, may I have some of your time?

I have something to say.

All right.

It looks gorgeous.

Look, a million lights

are echoing the stars in the sky.

Such a beautiful and peaceful scene

can really cheer me up.

You're right.

When the sun sets, a million lights shine.

When it rises, a million lives begin.

Such a day look ordinary,

but it's actually stable.

Indeed.

To live together every day

can be a really happy life.

Why did you suddenly take me here?

In Beishuo,

there aren't similar warm bonfires.

But here, we have brilliant fireworks.

I want to show them to you.

You can pray, too.

Fireworks?

So beautiful.

Why do you not pray?

Do you think my wish

will come true?

Of course.

Wish hard and you'll get what you want.

All right.

I wish

Princess Ashina Yueling of Dongyu

can be my wife.

I wish I could stay with her

for the rest of my life.

(The House of Romance)

New mission.

You have to kill this man.

Xingyi?

Your Majesty,

since trades were approved on the West Market,

vendors have done business legally.

It's been only half a month.

Dongyu people alone

have paid much more for the stalls

on the West Market

than the previous tax revenue of a long time.

The North Prince's proposal is really good.

That's right.

For so much revenue in merely half a month,

Shiyu should take credit.

I should reward him accordingly.

Your Majesty, it's my duty

to share your burden and do what's best

for people of the two states.

I do not dare to take credit.

Shiyu, I'm quite delighted

when you never claim credit.

But you should get what you deserve.

Your Majesty,

I have something

to tell you right here.

What is it?

From a very reliable source,

the Princess of Dongyu

is an impostor.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah.

What? Is that true?

Did that small state

deceive us

with a casual woman?

Yeah.

How daring! So impertinent.

Yeah.

They don't respect us at all.

(General Customs) Why are there so many rules

for a wedding in Beishuo?

Your Grace,

why do you only read the wedding parts?

Oh, I know.

You can't wait

to marry the North Prince.

Who said that?

Nonsense.

I just think Your Grace

has been very close to the North Prince.

I thought

I could call him "Prince Consort" soon.

For this,

I've prepared a lot of wedding dresses

for your reference.

Looks like you don't need them.

Well, it's all right for me

to check them in advance.

You said you weren't impatient.

You're just denying it, I think.

I'm a girl.

I'll get married one day.

Checking the customs in advance

isn't a problem, huh?

It isn't.

(Bun, High bun, Wrap-around Dress)

(Album of Wedding Gowns)

They look so beautiful.

(I wonder how Shiyu looks in this.)

- You can't get in. - Stop.

You can't break in here.

Come and stop them.

It's Her Highness's yard.

You can't break in.

Who sent you?

- You can't get in. - Don't break in.

You're being ridiculous.

What's up, Your Grace?

- Don't get in. - You can't get in.

You can't break in.

How can you break in like this?

- Don't get in. - You can't get in.

- Just stop. - What on earth do you want?

What is happening?

At the command of His Majesty,

you pretend to be the Eldest Princess of Dongyu

and we're here to take you for interrogation.

Your Grace!
