"The Heiress"

Episode 3

I treat all the students

equally.

Han Shiyi,

what do you have to say for yourself?

Doctor Xia is right.

He is my reading partner.

I should be the person who searches him.

Doctor.

He carries no cheat sheet.

In that case,

let's continue the exam.

Sit down.

Sit down.

All of you, sit down.

The Imperial College

Han Shiyi.

Don't thank me.

If I let them frame you, I'd look bad.

I didn't ask for your help.

I knew what to do.

I would rather be framed and punished

than be helped by you.

Where are you going?

Come to my mansion.

No!

Eastern Chamber

Han Shiyi had a fit today.

Was it because I searched him?

Xinting.

Your Highness.

How can I help you?

Turn around.

Your Highness.

His Majesty summoned you to the palace.

I see.

Shouhe Palace

I pay respect to you, Father.

Spare the formalities.

Yanyi, I hear that

you got hurt on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Are you alright?

It's a minor injury. Don't worry.

Right.

You were trained in the army.

You must be a good fighter.

I was useless

in the sense that I allowed the assassins to hurt me.

Fortunately, my guard risked his life

to save me.

I don't deserve your compliment.

Have you checked the assassins' background?

The assassins have been sent to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

I'm sure Gu the Minister of Justice

will learn their background through interrogation.

I can trust Gu Zhi with this case.

But,

an attempted assassination of a prince is a serious case.

We should let the Imperial Court of Justice handle this case.

Chang Guozan of the Imperial Court of Justice is experienced enough

to take up this important task.

You are right.

Father already knows about my reading partner.

I think the Wang family will take action soon.

I'll just wait and see

what stance Han Shiyi will take.

What are you doing?

Eternal loyalty

Chen Yanyi!

I won't spare you!

Be gentle.

Don't move.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

Don't move. Here.

It's done.

What do you think?

Long earrings like these

can entangle themselves with your hair easily.

Come on.

Back to the subject.

Where were we?

Mr. Liu was a poor scholar.

Mr. Liu.

On his way to the capital for the exams,

he couldn't afford an inn room.

He could only rest in a suburban temple at night.

Miss Ye was escorting a prisoner and passing by the temple

when it suddenly started raining heavily.

The two of them met in the temple.

A scholar met an officer.

Interesting.

Quite a play.

That's for sure.

They were like enemies.

The moment they met up,

trouble came to them.

Is that so?

Who do you think

would ever know

all these plays widely known in the capital

were written by you?

Don't let anyone know about it.

I made you the manager of Yidian Pavilion

because I must not do it in public.

If my father knew about it,

he would tear this place up.

Alright.

Go on.

Prime Minister's Mansion

Zhongyu.

Come here.

I need to talk to you.

What is it? Make haste.

I'm going to the Imperial College.

You and Han Shiyi are schoolmates now.

How is your relationship with him?

Father,

for your information,

I'm not close to Han Shiyi.

If you want me to draw Han Shiyi for you,

I can only say "sorry".

You know

I've never taken an interest

in your plans.

If that's all,

I'll get going.

Stop.

Zhongyu.

You have ignored your duties for years

and I have let you be.

But our family can't stay out

of the current political situation.

Our family has been an established family from Jiangnan.

Why can't we step back

from the political situation?

You think we can step back as you wish?

No need to debate over this matter.

I plan to marry Xiyuan off to Han Shiyi.

I need you to ask him out

and sound him out.

You want to marry Xiyuan off to that guy?

If it works out,

it will be a turning point for our family.

You have no idea about his conduct.

He is even more unreliable than me.

I didn't call you here to consult you.

If you don't ask him out,

I will find another person to ask him out.

Alright.

Leave it to me.

Just wait and see.

Chen Yanyi chose Han Shiyi as his reading partner.

The Empress of the State of Chen: Wang Yunshu He obviously seeks an alliance with the Han family.

If things turn out as he wishes,

we'll fall into a passive position.

What we should do now

is to draw Han Shiyi over to our side.

My Lord, here.

Be careful.

When the scholars and officials meet another country's monarch,

and the monarch shows them courtesy, they should step aside

and bow and kowtow to the monarch.

If the monarch greets them at the door...

Insolent boy!

Who did it? Stand up!

Doctor.

I think I saw who did it.

That guy.

Insolent boy.

How dare you hit me with a stone?

I hit you?

No, I didn't.

I didn't hit you.

Doctor. Doctor. Doctor.

We didn't do it.

We wouldn't dare.

Yeah.

Doctor.

The Fifth Prince seems to have seen who did it.

Just ask him if you don't believe me.

Your Highness.

Did Han Shiyi speak the truth?

Doctor.

Where did you

get hit?

Here.

It's your left ear.

But Liao Jichang and Gu Wan

sit on your right side.

If they cast the stone,

it would hit the right part of your body.

But in fact, you were hit in the left ear.

Your left ear is on your left side.

Therefore, someone on your left side

hit you with a stone.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Your left side.

Han Shiyi must have done it.

How dare you make such an accusation?

Right? It's him.

According to your logic,

Wang Zhongyu also sits on this side.

But there is also a person sitting in front of me.

We are here to study.

Time is precious for us students.

Yet you've discussed

a stone for so long.

Liao Jichang, Gu Wan.

You two slept and read plays

in class.

It's outrageous.

Your punishment is to clean the toilets

together after school.

What?

-I'm wronged. -I...

Don't do this to us.

Come on.

Your Highness.

Enjoy.

I'm going back for a class.

Now that I think about it,

you helped me just then.

At least, Doctor Xia

told them to clean the toilets as their punishment.

Thank you.

Eat while the food is still warm.

Here.

I have no appetite.

Maybe you

should have the food.

This won't be.

I fetched this meal for you only.

I happen to be full today.

You should have more food.

Does he know

I put a laxative in the food?

What's the matter?

I don't know.

My stomach hurts a little.

I need to go.

Don't eat.

It looks like someone

added something to our meal.

Han Shiyi,

you still aren't over that day's incident?

What do you mean?

You hold a grudge against us because of what happened that day.

You not only tried to frame us,

but also put a laxative in our food.

Put a laxative?

How can you wrong me like this?

Look at them. They are fine.

I know.

You must be depraved.

So a lot of people want to murder you.

Be careful. Stay safe.

I can't hold on anymore.

Han Shiyi,

don't play with fire.

I will fight back.

Who did it this time?

Whose thing is this?

Did you see?

Did you two do it?

We didn't do it.

Doctor,

I saw it for real this time.

The Fifth Prince.

The Fifth... Fifth...

Your Highness.

You read this kind of stuff?

I see. It's an erotic art book.

Your Highness,

if you don't deny that this book is yours,

I have to punish you to show fairness.

Do you accept your punishment?

I do.

In that case,

please step to the front.

Copy the whole "Analects: Xue Er" book

for ten times.

Yes.

I will confiscate this book.

Doctor.

Han Shiyi is my reading partner.

According to the rules, he should be punished too.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Han Shiyi,

go with him.

Doctor,

what does it have to do with me?

As his reading partner,

you should be punished with him.

It's a rule passed down from our ancestors.

Go now.

It seems he is determined not to side with me.

He's making his attitude clear.

Since you have seen

the truth behind this matter,

why did you

receive the punishment with me?

I'd like to see

how long your act will last.

Why aren't you copying?

I don't even know how to suspend my wrist in the air.

How am I supposed to copy?

Tying a sandbag to your wrist?

Writing on the wall?

I'm versed in both literature and martial arts.

But I can't suspend my wrist in the air.

If you don't start writing now,

you might not be able to go home at night.

Fine, I'll start writing.

But don't blame me

for my writing.

You have good drawing skills.

You have good taste.

Let me introduce it to you.

It is

my adopted son.

Isn't it cute?

It even has a name,

Wang Er.

Han Shiyi,

I'll either teach you a lesson today

or quit my job

and return to my native place.

Doctor Xia,

forgive me for not sending you off.

You!

How dare you make a funny face?

Naughty! Naughty!

Take this!

Take this!

Take this!

Your Highness.

-I'm leaving. -I beg your pardon, Your Highness.

I was anxious

and lost control just then.

Han Shiyi.

Are you free tonight?

What do you want, Wang Er?

Have a drink with me?

Are you looking to drug the drink

to retaliate against me for what happened today?

You think I, Wang Zhongyu, am a person like that?

Come on.

Are you chickening out

because your alcohol tolerance is low?

Nonsense.

I'm not afraid of you.

Alright.

See you at Li's Glorious Pavilion

tonight.

Got to go.

You will see me there.

Bring enough money.

Why are you here, Your Highness?

You scared the hell out of me.

Come to my mansion to study.

Fine, I will study.

Just stay away from me.

Prince Qi's Mansion

The sky will darken soon.

How come he still doesn't let me leave?

Does he want me to stay for dinner?

That won't do.

I promised Wang Er

to drink with him tonight.

If I don't show up,

he will think I chickened out.

Are you trying to find a way

for me to drive you away?

You're really outstanding and intelligent.

You are going to drink with Wang Zhongyu as promised, right?

Your Highness.

You see,

I have already given him my promise.

If I went back on my word,

I would lose face.

Besides,

I'm your reading partner now.

It's okay if I lose face.

But you must not lose face.

Right?

You see,

we received punishment

together today.

Now we are

in the same boat.

If you use your intelligence

for the right cause,

perhaps you will become a talent.

Your Highness,

the four beauties sent by His Majesty and Her Majesty

asked for an audience with you.

They are waiting outside.

Bring them in.

Han Shiyi, let's call it a day.

Alright.

I'll get going then.

Your Highness, have fun with the beauties.

Got to go.

Your Highness,

I will bring them here.

No.

His Majesty obviously sent them here to spy on me.

But they are already waiting in the lobby.

And they are under orders to serve you.

Now...

Help them settle down. Then we'll give the matter some more thought.

Yes.

Wait.

Han Shiyi is going to meet with Wang Zhongyu.

It seems the Wang family will draw him.

I need you and Xinting to keep a close watch.

Yes.

Li's Glorious Pavilion

You should have come alone.

Why bring us?

I want our parents to see for themselves.

Han Shiyi is fine-looking, after all.

Our parents can't just take your word for it.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

What if it's a misunderstanding?

Young people tend to have a short temper

and bicker.

It's not a misunderstanding.

He is lustful and rude,

widely known as a playboy in the capital.

He is a hopeless loser.

Alright. Alright. Alright.

I will see what kind of man he is.

If he is awful, I won't ask you to marry him.

Why did you ask him to come here?

There are a lot of people and voices around us.

You should have asked him to visit our mansion.

Come on.

I've done well enough, asking him out to come here.

We are not that close. I can't invite him to our mansion.

Be careful, My Lord.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

See what is up Wang Er's sleeve.

Mister, you are here.

Your flamboyant outfit

fits your taste.

That makes the two of us.

I'm rich.

I can wear whatever I want.

Yes.

You are rich. So pay for tonight's bill.

Dream on.

How stingy.

Mr. Wang, you are here.

This way, gentlemen.

I will be standing here

to receive your orders.

You two, wait outside.

My Lord,

let us enter the room with you.

Yeah, My Lord.

Don't you want us to serve you?

I'm just going inside to eat.

I didn't order any woman here.

Don't keep a close watch on me.

Alright. Alright.

Just wait here for me.

Be good.

Wang Er,

did you treat me to dinner

because you admire me?

Waiter.

What do you need?

Serve the food.

Alright. Hold on a second.

I'm not letting you marry my sister.

Just watch me

ruin this possible marriage.

Shiyi.

Shiyi, you...

Shiyi?

You are grossing me out.

Just cut to the chase.

We are not that close.

Shiyi,

we had

some

misunderstandings.

But as people say, there is no concord without discord.

We've contended with each other for so many times.

We've known each other for a long time.

How about we become friends?

So, you admire me.

I can manage to appreciate your sincerity.

But we don't have to

become friends.

It sounds hypocritical.

It repulses both of us.

Gentlemen,

your dishes are here.

Here are your dishes.

Shiyi looks so handsome.

Not handsome at all.

He looks like a woman.

You don't understand.

A man with a feminine face is blessed with good fortune.

Gentlemen,

all your dishes have been served.

Come on.

Shiyi.

This is an 18-year-old wine.

Have a try.

What do you think?

Nice. Nice.

Come on, Shiyi.

Speaking of age,

you are 19 now.

It's time for you to settle down.

Well,

have you found a woman you'd marry?

I came to the capital not long ago.

I haven't seen enough girls.

It's too soon for me to settle down.

I'll see.

Right.

But

what kind of girl do you like?

The passionate and charming type?

Or the gentle and quiet type?

To tell you the truth,

I like both of the types

you just mentioned.

I'm a man, you know.

The more, the better.

What's the difference between

the girls in the northern territory and the girls in the capital?

The girls in the northern territory

can be passionate and unrestrained

or gentle and considerate.

Now that we are on this subject, I kind of miss them.

You look like

a man with stories.

It will take more than a few days

to tell all my stories.

Just ask around.

Every girl

in the northern territory likes me.

In my opinion,

no matter how many girls you like,

you need a wife at home.

No. No. No.

I'm still young.

No need to get married now.

Then

do you have any requirements

for your wife?

Tell me.

Tell me.

Wang Er.

You treated me to wine

and talked about girls with me.

So this is why

you made so many indirect inquiries.

You should have told me.

Are you going to introduce a girl to me?

You have seen through me.

Then I will stop beating around the bush.

Actually,

I think

you and my younger sister are a good match.

I'd like to...

Shiyi, are you alright?

This won't do.

Why?

My sister

is beautiful and gentle...

Besides,

the Han family and the Wang family are well-matched.

You two would make a perfect couple.

Your sister

is plain-looking

and shrewish.

I'm handsome as hell.

Marrying her would be my loss.

My sister is the type that stands close examination.

Besides,

it's better to be straightforward than complicated.

I'm telling you,

many young lords in the capital like her.

Like her?

So they hate to live long.

In my opinion,

her maid

is much more lovable and sensible than her.

I'd rather

marry her maid than marry her.

Han Shiyi!

I dare you to say it again!

Wang Er,

you planned a treacherous dinner.

And a female bully ambushed me.

Who are you calling a female bully?

Brat,

how dare you insult my daughter?

I'm going to break your leg.

Don't use force.

-Let's stay civil. -Unhand me.

It's unseemly to get physical.

This is a misunderstanding.

This is just a misunderstanding.

Don't make a scene.

Let's head home.

As you can see,

I already have two vixens.

If I married another vixen,

my life would be miserable.

Please, I'm begging you. Spare me.

I'm the only son of my family.

Who are you calling a vixen?

Miss Wang,

I know I'm handsome,

but don't be hung up on me.

Miss Wang,

you really aren't my type.

Mother.

Shut your mouth!

You brat!

Why are you just watching?

Let's be civil.

There's no problem

we can't solve over a cup of tea.

Alright. Come here.

Come with me.

Seductive perfume?

Why are you wearing women's perfume?

I'm not wearing seductive perfume.

It's my two vixens' perfume

that rubbed off on me.

You know.

Stop.

Go home with me.

Let me go.

Let her go.

Come on. Let's go home.

My Lord, are you okay?

Are you alright?

You jealous girls,

I'd never fall for

Wang's daughter.

All I can think about

are you two.

That's what happened.

Han Shiyi is really bold.

He left them no way out.

In front of Prime Minister Wang,

he disgraced Miss Wang.

Han Shiyi put on

a believable playboy's act.

Your Highness,

what do you mean by that?

When the assassins attacked,

he showed careful footwork for dodging.

He dodged all the attacks, but he never fought back.

But the moment he saw us,

he let himself be captured.

When he

was drawing with his wrist in the air,

he moved the brush steadily.

Obviously, he practiced often.

Since he practiced calligraphy often,

he must know how to write.

It proves they understand His Majesty.

He pretended to be a playboy,

so His Majesty would feel at ease.

That's why you chose him as your reading partner

with intent to draw the Han family over to your side.

The Han family is determined to conceal its capabilities.

I'm afraid they won't take sides easily.

It was only my conjecture.

But now I'm sure.

The Wang family must be worried

that I'd align myself with the Fifth Prince, now that I'm his reading partner.

They were so eager to draw me

that they intended to marry their daughter off to me.

The Wang family sounded me out

while the Fifth Prince sent people to follow me.

It looks like I need to cut ties with the Fifth Prince

and end the whole reading partner thing.

Prince Qi's Mansion

I'm suddenly feeling hungry.

Your Highness,

can I stay for dinner?

You are hungry already?

Then let the food be served.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Hey,

Your Highness,

I suppose

where there is food, there should be wine.

Where there is wine, there should be beauties.

How about

you invite the four beauties here,

so I can admire them?

The beauties given by His Majesty

must be stunningly beautiful.

No problem.

Just ask His Majesty for permission.

You are refusing to let me see them.

Fine.

Alright.

The good thing is I'm well-prepared.

My Lord.

Here.

A toast to you.

My Lord.

What would you like to eat? I will fetch it for you.

I will eat whatever

you fetch for me.

Here, My Lord.

My Lord.

Let me toast you again.

There's no rush.

I'm telling you,

I can't

get drunk.

Let's take it slow.

This guy wants me to speak the truth

and take a stance.

I'm going to get him drunk

and see which side he is on.

Come here.

Your Highness.

Don't just watch.

Come here. Drink.

Here.

Slow down, My Lord.

Slow down.

It's said the people of the northern territory love spirits.

Do you like

my wine?

Everything is great

in the capital.

The women here are beautiful.

The music here is melodious.

Yidian Pavilion.

Hong'er.

Luan'er.

All good.

All good.

My Lord.

You asked to stay for dinner.

Now you pretend to be drunk.

What are you plotting?

Here.

Let me toast you again.

Servants.

Take Han Shiyi away for some rest.

Slow down, My Lord.

My Lord, slow down.

Don't hold back.

Eat.

Eat.

I'm not drunk.

Hong'er. Luan'er.

Jinzi. Yinzi.

Jinzi.

I'm not drunk.

Don't touch me.

Fortunately, I drank the anti-temulence potion before coming.

I'd be in trouble otherwise.

That facial palsy guy

tried to get me drunk,

and obtain information from me.

Nice try.

It's time for me to make the power move.

You cherish those four beauties, don't you?

Then I will cuckold you

and see if you can bear such humiliation.

-Who are you? -Beauty.

What do you want to do?

Who am I?

I'm your sweetheart.

Don't rush to take off your clothes.

Help!

Stop yelling.

Help me!

Come here.

Give me a kiss. Give me a kiss.

Come here.

Give me a kiss. Give me a kiss.

-Stop. Where are you running? -Your Highness.

Your Highness, help me.

Beauty.
