[Practice Daughter]

[Adapted from An Yimo's original novel, The Charming Thief Princess]

[Episode 9]

I didn't know

[Jixi Hunting Field] that Miss Mei was this competitive.

Where is the rabbit?

You...

I...

I...

What did I do?

So stupid.

My Second Brother, what did I do?

You can't get away this time.

You deserve it.

Run, little rabbit.

A worm.

Why are you still holding the bow?

It's still on you.

It's still there.

- It's still there. - Oh no.

The worm is here.

Help! Worms!

Another one down.

Little rabbit, come home quickly.

Rabbit.

Little rabbit.

Little rabbit?

Bunny. Bunny?

Little rabbit, where are you?

Bunny.

Bunny?

Little rabbit.

Little rabbit.

There you are.

Who's there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

I don't think rabbits can climb trees.

Never mind.

Let me shoot it down first.

Help!

Help me!

My mouth. My...

My flawless face.

- This is your fault. - Your fault.

- Your fault. - Your fault.

Did I shoot it?

Are you crazy? Have you got a death wish?

I... I didn't think about it that much.

You're bleeding.

I'm fine.

I shot the rabbit.

The rabbit?

[Jixi Hunting Field] You have no idea how fun that was.

Look. Awesome, right?

I'm exhausted.

I think I shot it.

It was me.

Look at your face.

Look at the feather on the arrow.

The color is different from yours.

Yours doesn't look like this.

Look at the color.

- It's the same as mine. - I won't argue with you.

It doesn't matter who shot it.

Where are we going later?

The Crown Prince shot the rabbit. We'll go for a celebration.

Yeah.

We'll go for celebration.

Let me tell you something.

There was a worm on me.

It scared me.

Ladies, you may not know this.

Yao doesn't like killing animals.

So the animals being hunted every year

are replaced with stuffed toys.

Stuffed toys?

But I just

saw it running around.

They manipulate the rabbit with puppet strings.

Of course, the rabbit can move.

Your Highness.

You may leave now.

Yao,

what happened to your other sachet?

I may have dropped it in the woods.

That is your favorite sachet.

It's the thing you kept with you the longest.

It's fine.

I'll ask the Household Department to make me another one.

Let's go.

Let's go.

- I didn't shoot anything. - I am tired.

My lady.

My lady, you're back.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I can't face anyone with my face like this.

My arm hurts. Give me a massage.

Whatever.

I was almost scared to death.

There's everything in those woods.

Have you seen Miss Mei?

I didn't see her.

But I saw

someone I wanted to see.

By the way,

where is Miss Mei?

She was just behind me.

Did she get lost?

It's late now.

The woods are full of dangers.

Xingshi.

- What's going on? - Your Highness?

Where is Yao going?

Miss Mei.

Miss Mei.

You two, go that way.

Yes.

You two, that way.

I'll go there.

Miss Mei.

Any news?

You asked me to find out who that thief is.

I've got some information.

Her three thieving fathers were

hired to build houses in the barracks.

One day they got drunk

and started telling people how they adopted their daughter.

What did they say?

Seriously?

I guess

I have to go to the Black Dog Alley myself.

Be careful.

Please spare my life.

I don't know who you are

or what you are.

I was just trying to get a sweet potato.

Please... Please forgive this time.

I will serve you with wine and meat.

If you're so scared, why didn't you follow us out?

Just to get a sweet potato?

Little Master?

Little Master.

Because someone lost a sachet,

I wanted to get it back for him.

You thought I did it for a roasted sweet potato?

It's just a sachet.

If it's lost, it's lost.

You, on the other hand,

should pay attention to your own safety.

Out here in the woods this late,

aren't you afraid of the danger?

I'm scared. Of course, I am.

I didn't expect that you guys

left so fast.

And it got dark so fast.

I tried so hard but couldn't find the way back.

You don't eat?

I don't want it.

It's so hot.

What's wrong? Let me see.

♪It's your mesmerizing glance♪

♪Freezing the gentle breeze of the mundane world♪

♪Your gentle call awakens me from my unfinished dreams♪

♪It's hard to convey my love for you when fighting for the homeland♪

♪Our destined encounter♪

♪I am meant to accompany you on this journey♪

You should have been more careful.

♪Wishing for a bit more♪

♪So love feels even more real♪

Little Master, here.

♪You and I, each completing the other, year after year♪

I don't want it.

It's very tasty.

♪We walk together on bustling streets♪

♪My heart leans towards your warm embrace♪

Are you teasing me?

Give it to me.

No. You just said you wouldn't eat.

I...

I want to eat it now.

No.

♪If it's an unfathomable fate, let me do it again♪

Give it to me.

No, no.

Give it to me now.

No.

Give it to me.

No, no.

You just said you wouldn't eat.

Give it to me.

- Let me have a bite. - Not a chance.

♪Step forth boldly and join me without asking where we're heading♪

[Guixiu Pavilion]

Why do I feel something is wrong?

What's wrong?

What do you have here?

Is it supposed to exorcise evil spirits?

My good sister.

Don't make fun of me.

Could you please teach me?

Look, I've worked on it for two days.

What is this ugly thing?

- Teach me - You made a bad choice of material.

Here.

I'll show you on another piece.

Pink?

Is it appropriate?

You're a girl.

What's wrong with pink?

Just learn from me.

Do exactly what I do.

[Guixiu Pavilion]

Now this part is perfectly done.

- Show me yours. - Here.

What's this?

Your stitches are too big.

The spices are going to fall out of it.

My stitches are big,

which means

it will bring you good luck.

The shape isn't right either.

The sachet is supposed to be round.

Why did you make a triangle?

It's a triangle,

so the shapes won't be changed later.

Fine.

As long as you're happy with it.

I think it's quite unique.

As long as the person is good-looking,

anything ugly on him will look better.

It's not your fault.

As casual and free as you are,

needlework isn't something you can do.

However,

why do you suddenly want to embroider a new sachet?

Well, someone protected me that day

and lost his sachet.

I feel bad.

Now I see.

It's not for yourself.

It's for the Crown Prince.

Why are you blushing?

Well...

It's to get back the Moon Spirit Pearl.

I'm thinking

maybe when he is happy,

he'll just give us the pearl back.

Then we can switch bodies back sooner.

I'll be finally free.

I'm really doing it for the pearl.

All right then.

Maybe I can help you.

So we can get the pearl back soon.

No, no.

Stay out of this.

Your embroidery is so much better.

The Crown Prince will know immediately

it's not from me.

Why don't you draw something?

What to draw?

The Crown Prince.

You draw so well.

So draw a really nice painting of the Crown Prince.

And I'll give the sachet to him.

He will give us the pearl back then.

Fine then.

But to be honest,

I'm glad this sachet is for the Crown Prince,

not someone you adore.

Otherwise,

you'll die a single lady.

Mei Daidai.

I am now

using your body.

If I die a single lady,

it'll be a disgrace to you.

You...

What's wrong with me?

I am now

the daughter of the Grand Chancellor.

I don't use other people's plates.

I don't eat anything touched by others.

He must be very moved

and speechless with joy.

This must have been hard for you.

You don't have to thank me.

Consider it as a gift from the rabbit.

By the way,

it's also got your name on it.

Nangong O?

When was my name changed to Nangong O?

Well, has the little rabbit been eating regularly?

How about its sleep?

And its digestive system?

Have you been walking it regularly?

Since you care so much about the rabbit,

you are welcome to see it in the Eastern Palace.

Uh...

I know the sachet is a bit ugly.

But I really made it myself.

I did the best I could.

If you don't like it,

I also prepared a painting.

But I didn't draw it myself.

I love the sachet.

If your embroidery is too stunning

like all the other embroiders' in the palace,

I won't like it.

Do you really like it?

Then I didn't hurt my hand

for nothing.

Let me see.

It's nothing.

I was just stabbed several times by the needle.

I bled a little.

It's painful,

but it's not too bad.

It's...

I'll ask Nanbei to get the Imperial Physician.

No, wait.

It'll heal in no time.

No.

Wait, look.

It's really healed.

There's no wound now.

Does it hurt?

Not anymore. No more pain at all.

Thank you, Little Master.

However, my hand doesn't hurt anymore.

I am worried deep down.

What do you worry about?

You forgot?

You still haven't given me back the pearl.

It's been a long time.

Then tell me about it.

What's so special about that pearl?

I...

I'll be honest with you.

I have a friend

who is the daughter...

No.

She is a noble lady from a very decent family.

She suffers from hysteria.

She talks nonsense all day.

She can't even recognize her own mother.

Wait.

What does that have to do with your pearl?

It's an expert's advice.

This pearl is the only thing

that can cure her hysteria.

Think about it. We are so close.

I, Dou...

Mei Yushan, can never

be someone that looks the other way

while someone needs my help.

How could I stand to see her stay sick?

The pearl cures diseases?

This is the first time I have heard

about such a weird thing.

Besides,

I've never heard of you

talking about this good friend.

I...

I did talk about her.

You forgot.

If she really suffers from hysteria,

she can go to the Grand Tutor.

He is an amazing physician.

No, no.

It doesn't have to be so complicated.

It can be cured by the pearl,

so why would we bother the Grand Tutor?

A quarter past Si hour.

Jurisprudence Course.

Oh, lord.

The skills of imperial embroiderers are terrible.

Not even as good as embroiderers' in my family.

You don't understand.

His Highness hates wasting money.

Maybe he's worn it for ten years or so.

And it got out of shape.

You didn't give it to the Crown Prince?

I did.

He loved it.

Why is it still hanging in the room then?

I, uh... After I gave him the sachet,

he was so happy.

I can't give all the gifts to him all at once.

Besides,

you put a lot of effort into it.

Look how good it is.

Very vivid.

It's a masterpiece.

How can I give it away so easily?

I didn't pay too much attention.

I could do so much better.

But if you like it,

you can keep it here.

Your Highness, your tea.

Go invite Miss Mei from Guixiu Pavilion to here.

Yes.

Your Highness,

I have important news.

Are you sure?

The night of the theft,

someone found it in the garden.

But you were also in the garden that night.

So Mr. Zhang dared not tell anyone.

He worried he may offend you.

So no one ever said anything.

Also,

after this pearl got lost,

no more thieves showed up in the Museum.

It seems that all the thieves

came for the pearl.

Does the Moon Spirit Pearl

really have some sort of power?

I have no idea.

Because it is from Shengdong,

the Museum didn't value it too much.

I guess something unusual happened

in the Museum that night.

But if someone came to steal it,

why did this pearl end up with Mei Yushan?

I'm afraid only Miss Mei knows.

Take a look.

[Escort]

[Sealed]

Princess Yueying,

I need to go back to help my father.

You stay right here.

Don't cry.

Remember. My name is Xingshi.

I will come back for you.

So you are Princess Yueying.

Little Master really said he wanted to return something?

Really. Hurry.

[Xingqing Hall]

Little Master, I'm here.

Little Master.

Mei Yushan, how dare you!

Do you know that you'll be beheaded...

What's up?

if you deceive me.

I was just kidding.

I will not behead you.

Don't you cry.

What's happening?

His Highness caused a trouble.

It's not done yet.

Go.

Get some of Miss Mei's favorite pastries.

Yes.

Get up. Come on.

Don't cry. Get up, okay?

I can't get up.

Get up.

I can't.

My legs are weak.

There are pastries for you.

Flirting.

Why would I, a eunuch,

have to watch these things every day?

If you don't get over here,

I'll ask someone to take it away.

You won't cut my head off, will you?

I won't.

That's good.

Does it taste good?

Yeah.

Then tell me about it.

Why would you have the Moon Spirit Pearl

that was stolen from the Museum?

Water.

Here.

What are you reacting so strongly?

I'm not blaming you for...

Of course, I didn't steal it.

I am the daughter of the Grand Chancellor.

Why would I steal that?

A pearl?

Then how did you

get this pearl?

I...

I... I...

It's not the Moon Spirit Pearl.

It's just an ordinary pearl

that looks like the Moon Spirit Pearl.

Ordinary pearl?

It must also have a story.

It's... It's

something from home.

It's always been in the Grand Chancellor's Residence.

Then how did the expert who gave your friend advice

find out

you happened to have a pearl

that could cure her?

Ah...

You told me to come and get the pearl.

Why are you interrogating me now?

Just make up your mind.

Are you giving me back the pearl or not?

Questions remain unsolved.

How can I give it back?

Zuo.

Yes.

Walk Miss Mei back.

Take these pastries, too.

Yes.

[Eastern Palace]

You can leave me here.

I'd like to walk around alone.

His Highness will blame me if he finds out.

Just tell him

Mei came to pick me up.

What about the pastries?

I have had enough.

You take them back.

I don't believe

there is nothing I can't get.

Even if it's something

of the Jade Emperor,

I will get it.

Come here. Over here.

This way.

Okay.

Listen up.

A bit more.

Mosquito repellent must be spread

to every corner of the Eastern Palace.

If I see any mosquitoes

tomorrow,

you will be punished.

- Yes. - Yes.

Be careful.

It's a rare breed. It's very delicate.

I don't have any energy, sir.

May I take a break?

Useless loser.

Gently.

Don't yell. You fool.

This is the Eastern Palace.

Okay, sir.

Get out of here.

You.

Give him a hand.

Me?

Yes, you.

Hurry up.

Come on, you two, that way.

- Yes. - Yes.

Don't move.

Have I ever seen you before?

You got the wrong person.

I remember now.

You... You were the one

who tried to molest me.

I am not. Don't talk nonsense.

You not only covet my beauty

but also

followed me to the Eastern Palace.

I must seek justice today.

Someone.

- We can talk about this. - Somebody.

- Calm down. - Somebody.

Help.

Who is making noise there?

Help, please.

Somebody!

What's wrong?

That palace maid. She molested me.

She went that way.

Lunatic.

Ignore him. Let's go.

Stop there.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I see you.

Get out of here.

Come out!

Scoundrel.

Get out of here.

You can't escape.

How dare you!

Arrest him.

Your Highness, forgive me.

I shouldn't have yelled.

But I really have grievances.

Your Highness, please seek justice for me.

So I could die with comfort.

What grievances?

There's a maid, she...

She molested me.

I believe someone might molest them.

But you...

Do you understand what molesting means?

I dare not lie.

That maid

ran into one of these rooms.

I believe

she is hiding somewhere now.

Nonsense.

So you mean

a maid who serves me molested you?

No, I dare not.

I dare not.

Little Master, help me.
