Hongyuan.

Did my mother say

she had hinted the Murongs?

Yeah, Lord Shu said that.

Prepare clothes.

Get my sword.

Summon some soldiers.

We'll go out.

You'll take risks?

To save her

and, taint my fame.

Greetings, Royal Princess.

Please wait.

Let us notify Lord Murong.

Where's Murong Wanqing?

Please spare us.

Everything's fine.

Why're you here?

My mother said the Murongs were hinted.

I knew you'd be in trouble.

I was meant to be punished since they said

I taught you bad things.

Get up first.

Here.

It's okay.

I'm sturdy.

Such wounds are nothing to me.

Mother tried to look strict with me.

So she asked Lord Murong to punish you.

I knew this would happen

when we messed around before.

It's fine.

Even though,

they shouldn't have beat you like this.

They were making a fuss about it.

It's okay.

It doesn't hurt.

Greetings, Mother.

I'm Murong Yu.

Greetings, Your Grace.

I'm Murong Feiyu.

Greetings, Your Grace.

Just because she's not your biological daughter,

so you'd beat her to death?

It was my family matter.

Sorry for letting you worry.

Family matter?

You want me to stay out of it?

I dare not.

You're a biological daughter?

Yes.

I'm the eldest formal daughter of the Murongs.

The formal daughter?

If her mother hadn't died,

if she hadn't been adopted by your mother,

you wouldn't have been the so-called formal daughter.

You...

It doesn't matter.

Since you're here,

it's much easier for me.

Your Grace.

Princess.

Cheng.

Please don't.

You'll be kneeling here for

the same time that she did.

Or,

I'd be unhappy.

Mother.

Listen to Princess.

Kneel.

Kneel.

Princess.

Twenty punishing rods.

My men will see it done.

Ease your anger, Princess.

I was too impetuous

and punished Wanqing.

Thirty rods.

Your Grace, we're a royal family too...

Forty rods.

Someone.

Mother.

Prepare the rod.

Right.

I'd like to invite Third Lady

to live with me for some time.

May I do that,

Lord Murong?

Wanqing...

It's her pleasure to spend

time with Princess.

Of course I'd agree.

Hongyuan, Nanfeng.

- Yes. - Yes.

Take care of Wanqing.

- Yes. - Yes.

See you then, Princess.

I heard you got a new

mansion finished.

Right.

It's 30 lis away from the city.

I was gonna

invite you and your mother to see it

when she comes back.

That mansion disobeys many rules.

How about

rebuilding it?

Please reconsider it.

We consulted Ministry of

Ceremonies before building it.

It obeys all rules.

Besides,

you've never been there.

Didn't you hear me? It disobeys rules.

You're right, Princess.

I'll make sure it's examined strictly

and correct the mistakes.

How about just burning it?

Yes.

Mother.

Are you really gonna hit me?

I've no choice.

I thought Her Grace was mature.

To think she's a demon.

Someone.

Hit her.

OK.

You should go, huh?

I won't go.

I hardly see such a situation.

I wanna keep watching.

I became like this for you,

don't you know that?

How could you laugh at me here?

How about

I apply more ointment for you?

I've seen it before anyways.

No.

Fine.

Just watch it.

Listen to me.

My mother

refused me to introspect and learn in the court.

She even thought

I didn't go too far.

What do I do?

Not too far?

That's the best you can do?

Even my mother thought it was nothing.

Forget it. Do it on your own.

I quit.

I almost die for this.

Not enough.

We gotta

crank it up.

Lord Shu will be pissed off by you.

Hongyuan.

Tell them.

We'll go to Phoenix House.

Yes.

Wait.

Shu Cheng.

Look at me.

I can't go to a brothel now.

What did you say?

Hongyuan, to the Phoenix House.

Yes.

Attagirl.

Come on.

Let me help you.

Brother.

Princess Shu's carriage is here.

I was going to see her with an excuse.

To think she came here.

But,

she seems to be up to something.

Your Grace.

Wait. Let me burn here first.

No, Princess.

I didn't offend you.

Why do you burn my House?

I like you and the Phoenix House.

So I gotta burn it.

Wait, wait.

You like it, right?

If you burn it down,

you can't come here anymore, right?

Don't worry.

I'll control the fire.

I'll repair it for you

and compensate you lots of taels.

I...

I...

Princess.

Brother.

Your Grace.

It's not about the money.

I spent so much effort

on this place.

Name the price.

I just want you to live in the Shus' Mansion

with me

for some time.

If it's about this,

you can just tell me directly.

I'd love to do that.

But there's no need to burn the House.

The invitation, the letter,

and the explanation.

It's just tiring.

I'd rather just burn it down.

You can put it out now.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

While it's under reconstruction,

you'll be living in my mansion.

You'll be preparing

my birthday feast too.

You'll name the price too.

Now, go pack your stuff.

- More water. - Coming.

Here.

Can you let me go now?

Or,

I'll hit your head.

More water.

And there. Hurry up.

And there.

Hurry.

Someone, come here.

- Coming. - Coming.

Hongyuan, Nanfeng,

arrange our men to take him to the mansion.

Also,

everyone who saw this

can just say

I burned the Phoenix House

just to make Shen Ye

move in to

my mansion.

- Yes. - Yes.

A genius.

A brilliant genius.

The Shus' Mansion

I thought they took a corpse here.

Why didn't you take rest?

Can you be nice to me?

I was in a rush to see you.

I know what you wanna ask.

Hongyuan reported to me.

Shen Ye and Shen Cong

moved to Saint Pavilion.

Since you ordered them to move in,

why not

go visit them?

They did move in, but

I'm just putting on an act.

Why would I visit them?

Dear Shu Cheng.

It's two belles.

What a waste.

So you really feel nothing

about that Shen Ye?

How about

I go with you?

And,

I could watch his sleeve dance.

Sleeve dance?

Still thinking of that?

So

you're not seriously hurt.

Sleeve dance?

You can still think of

these trivial things, huh?

Does that hurt?

Greetings, Lord Shu.

My bad.

Greetings, Mother.

Lord Shu.

Sorry, I can't

stand up.

I thought it was a corpse.

I heard about it. Thank you.

The Shus would

remember your favor forever.

I'm flattered.

I'm so flattered.

Making trouble in the Murongs?

Ruining their new mansion?

Yes.

The Five Yamens said

you burned a joy house?

Yes.

You did that just to

make him serve you here?

Yes.

He'll prepare for your birthday feast too?

Yes.

As a royal princess,

you want a call boy to prepare your birthday feast?

Great.

I was a bit mad at first.

Well done.

Try harder.

Thank you, Mother.

I'll do

my best.

Mother,

please take care.

I'm pretty good.

You'd better piss me off.

That belle has moved in?

Yes.

Then let him perform tonight.

Otherwise it'd be such a waste.

I'll help put on an act.

You're interested in it,

aren't you?

I was being rude.

I'm on it.

Go to Saint Pavilion with me.

Go.

Cheng.

Carry me there with you.

Greetings, Your Grace.

My brother wants me to welcome you here.

Only Princess is invited in.

How dare you.

That's rude.

Brother said

Princess shall be considerate

since we've moved in.

Wait for me here.

Yes.

Can you let me go now?

Or, I'll break your arm.

Greetings.

While cleaning up the garden,

I picked up some petals.

The flying petals

are only for you.

Quite artful.

I'm sure you'll give me

a memorable birthday too.

At the opening day of my House,

I'll have a dance

only for you.

This place happens to be tranquil...

I just burned your House.

Yet you'll dance for me?

How kind-hearted you are.

Princess,

you're gorgeous.

Just save it.

My mother wants you to perform tonight.

The petal rain

is pretty.

Go get ready.

Shu Rou, Lord Shu,

wants us to dance tonight.

Get ready to?

Kill Shu Rou?

What's on your mind?

You know how I feel about her.

Yet you wanna kill her mother?

I was reckless.

I'm Shen Ye.

Greetings, Lord Shu.

Greetings, Your Grace.

And Lady Murong.

Good evening.

Shen Ye.

My mother wants to watch your sleeve dance.

People say it's the best in the world.

Since then,

please show us.

Then my little brother, Shen Cong,

will dance for Lord Shu.

My mother wants to watch you dance.

I promised

to have a dance just for Princess.

So,

Lord Shu,

Lady Murong,

please leave.

Shen Ye,

are you trying to piss off Lord Shu?

Do you have to keep your word in such a situation?

Mister Shen.

Please come closer.

Head up.

Shen Ye?

Yes, I am.

Cheng.

Where did you find

such a unique belle?

Do you like him?

I can't do that since you like him.

For me,

he's merely a tool.

You're my mother.

There's no need to be embarrassed.

My filial daughter.

But mother,

I gotta tell my father about it.

He's still in Yun Prefecture.

You want someone new

and I introduced him to you...

It may be improper...

Forget it.

Shen Ye is nothing special.

Shen Ye.

Since you refused to dance,

your legs are of no use.

Someone.

Break his legs.

Don't.

We don't have to be so violent.

It's fine he doesn't dance.

Mister Shen.

Please help prepare Cheng's birthday feast.

I also invited the top entertainer, Yu Huai.

I heard you want that title too.

You two could have a contest then.

I'm looking forward to it.

I think we can call it a day.

Shen Ye,

impressive.

My mother couldn't take her eyes off you.

Don't forget about

my birthday feast.

Cheng.

Wait for me.

Shen Ye.

Boy.

Usually the Empress

puts the hat for you on your birthday.

She'll give you one more gold pearl

to show her favor.

Then,

you'll be the Five-Pearl Royal Princess.

The one and only.

It seems to be favor,

but is actually pressing.

I'm glad you know that.

She just told me to

be strict with you a few days ago.

It seems

your bad reputation has been widely spread.

I'm glad I didn't let you down.

About the gold pearl,

since the beginning of Great Chu,

it was only granted to

the imperial members.

Lately,

the Night Court

didn't attack you.

That means

she's not so wary of us now.

Just hang in there.

After you become the next Lord Shu,

you'll have nothing to fear.

You're Lord Shu already.

But you still fear the imperial family.

When you become Lord Shu,

things would be different.

Are you thinking about tonight's plan?

Listen,

it's bustling in the imperial palace.

The Empress should be

granting the gold pearl

to the Princess.

Yu Huai will come today.

So what?

Brother,

please allow me to do your performance.

Why?

It's my business.

He shall be killed by me.

You saved me,

raised me and taught me.

It's time for me to pay back.

How about

your revenge?

Thank you

for killing all the Murongs.

I'm very grateful.

After that,

I hold no grudges nor

concerns anymore.

Silly boy.

It's not that simple.

Brother.

I just want her to have a happy birthday.

Thanks you all

for honoring my girl's coming-of-age ceremony.

Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Cheng.

Thank you, my lords.

I'll still need your guidance

when I become an official in the court.

We're flattered.

My pleasure.

Princess Shu is so aspiring,

always thinking of the court

and the benefit of people.

She's everything but aspiring.

A master of enjoying worldly life is more proper.

Well, she invited two guests.

If you don't mind,

those two will perform on the feast.

What do you think?

- OK. - OK.

Are they the Shens from Phoenix House?

That's nice.

Shen Ye from Phoenix House is a celebrity now.

I was wondering

when I could take a look at him.

We'd like to enjoy the show since it's

Cheng's coming-of-age ceremony.

No rush.

I also invited the top entertainer, Yu Huai.

Yu Huai?

The top entertainer, Yu Huai?

I heard

Yu Huai is a very unique belle,

the treasure of Great Chu.

Shen Ye is an excellent junior.

If they both perform,

it'd be like the Top Entertainer Contest.

Yeah.

Only the Shus is wealthy

enough to invite both of them.

Lord Shu, Your Grace, please.

Let's drink together.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Lord Shu, She Ye is ready.

Right on time.

So handsome.

Look, they're beautiful.

Greetings, my lords.

Save the formalities.

It's said the Empress of Great An

liked Shen Ye's sleeve dance so much

that she even got sick for it.

We'll know if it's that good.

Yu Huai is here.

He's Yu Huai?

Yeah. It's him.

Really?

Let's see the fairy's face together.

Yeah, I'm so curious.

Greetings, Lord Shu.

Princess Shu.

I wish you longevity and unceasing beauty.

Well, he's not Yu Huai.

Lord Shu, this is?

Yeah.

I saw him once

on the Top Entertainer Contest.

That's not Yu Huai.

I'm the servant boy of Mister Yu.

He didn't want to offend Lord Shu

and Princess with his sick body.

He's taken a pious bath with burning incense

to celebrate Princess's birthday.

My master

doesn't have the luck to

perform on Princess's birthday feast.

He wants Princess to have

this Green-Tail Qin as a gift.

Green-Tail Qin?

Yu Huai takes that with him all the time.

They say it was made two hundred years ago.

- What a luxury gift. - Yeah.

Shen Ye.

It's yours now.

Thank you, Princess.

Nanche.

I shall take my leave.

You shall do your best then.

My lords,

this is Shen Cong, my little brother.

I taught and raised him up in person.

He'll dance for lords.

You won't be disappointed.

The Sleeve Dance

is a masterpiece of you, Shen Ye.

Shouldn't you dance for us in person?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Shen Ye.

So you insist that

only Cheng can watch your sleeve dance.

Thanks for your understanding.

Shen Cong.

Show us what you can do

and please lords.

Yes.

We can finally watch sleeve dance.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Bravo.

Bravo. That's great.

Bravo.

- What a dance. - Yeah.

- That's fabulous. - Yeah.

That does deserve the reputation.

That makes two of us.

Really?

Bravo.

I...

Yeah, I think so too.

Yeah.

It's gorgeous.

How fluent.

As natural as flowing clouds.

Why're you drinking there alone?

Greetings, Your Grace.

Why're you here alone

on your birthday feast?

Were you

planning to drink with me?

It's too boisterous for me.

I just want some fresh air.

Maybe I'm a bit drunk

so I came here

without realizing it.

You knew I'd be here?

I knew Yu Huai wouldn't come today.

And I knew,

you'd be here for sure.

It's your birthday feast today.

I haven't got to

say happy birthday to you.

Shen Ye wishes Princess Shu a happy birthday.

It's not my birthday.

It's a festival of the Shus.

People are gathering and

maintaining their social network.

Do you believe me that

this is

the day I hate the most

over the year?

It seems I tried in vain.

That's not true.

I'm sure you and your little brother

would enjoy even

a greater reputation.

I knew the birthday feast wouldn't touch you.

So I prepared an extra gift.

It belongs to you only.

I'm not lack of any gifts.

Don't bother to...

The firework of this scale...

Only the Empress is qualified to...

You could die for

stealing the imperial stuff.

Don't mind that.

I said it belonged to you.

Then it's yours.

I like your smile

so much.

That boy

made such a big scene

just to celebrate her birthday.

Master,

shall we present the second

gift that we prepared

for Princess?

Okay.

Let's level it up

for her.

You don't know how to...

I...

I do.

But

I have someone

in my heart.

Which mister is so lucky

to have your appreciation?

It's not a mister.

Just a hunchback.

So you choose a hunchback over me?
