(Protector General Mansion is hiring) We're hiring!

Come and take a look!

- Everyone, take a look! - Who is hiring?

- Who is hiring? - Protector General Mansion.

- Protector General Mansion is hiring. - Protector General Mansion is hiring.

Here!

Hire me!

I'm strong!

Hire me!

Hire me!

I have ten years of working experience.

Do you want to work?

I want to work.

My name is Bai.

Thank you, Miss.

I'll choose you then.

Hire me!

I know how to do this too!

Hire me!

You.

Hire me!

- You. - Me!

And you.

Hire me!

(Ambitious)

Miss,

I picked

these workers carefully

based on your requirements.

Miss,

why do we need to urgently

hire people to clean the yard?

You'll know by then.

Here.

Look.

This is the arrangement of the front yard.

The trees and the hills

have to be arranged according to this.

No mistake is allowed.

Okay.

Uncle Song,

I need you

to monitor them.

Okay, I'll monitor them.

Brew some hot tea for them

to warm themselves up.

I'll need them

to take care of me.

Okay.

Maybe I've come out for too long.

My sickness is relapsing.

Hurry, bring me back to the room.

Let's go.

Where should we put this, Yuan Wei?

Put this there.

Okay.

Put this there.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bai.

Yuan Wei.

Why are you alone?

Why didn't you ask someone to help you?

Hey...

No need.

Yuan Wei.

This is nothing.

I can do this.

The few of you

(Ambitious) will need to plant some trees

over there

and get some water here.

Put a few big rocks in the middle.

That's it.

Go back to work.

- Okay, Yuan Wei. - Okay, Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei.

That's not right.

(Earth) It shouldn't be "earth"

at this position.

Miss said

she wants to have two pieces of land

over there.

She wants to plant vegetables

during spring.

I see.

Okay.

I'll get back to work now.

Go ahead.

Zhang,

you must wipe the horse clean.

I'll come and check later.

Okay, Yuan Wei.

Li.

Get a few men

to hang the clock.

It has to be accurate.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Yuan Wei.

Good morning.

Come over here, everyone.

Miss said

you can take a break.

You've been working the whole morning.

Thank you.

Come and drink a cup of tea

to warm up your body.

Here.

Miss, you must be tired.

I'm not as tired as you are.

But my body

is really useless.

Yuan Wei,

help me to serve them tea.

Okay.

Come on, everyone. Drink tea.

Come on.

Thank you, Miss.

- Thank you, Miss. - Thank you, Miss.

Bai, you've worked the hardest.

You should drink first.

Thank you, Yuan Wei.

(Ankang Garden) Your Highness.

I'm so tired.

I'll drink your tea, Your Highness.

Why are you wearing that?

It's convenient for me to work.

Hold on a second.

I ordered you to get someone to spy on Hua family.

Why are you working there now?

It's a long story.

It was a coincidence.

Your Highness.

Don't move.

Sit down.

Give it to me.

I'm so tired.

Your Highness,

let me tell you what happened.

It went like this.

(Protector General Mansion is hiring) We're hiring!

Come and take a look!

Everyone, take a look!

Protector General Mansion is hiring!

Here!

I'm strong!

Hire me!

- Hire me! - Move aside!

Move aside!

I.

I can work every day.

I'm on call any time.

No overtime pay is needed.

Who else can do this?

Sorry.

Miss has set

the hiring requirements.

You...

Do you want to work?

I want to work.

My name is Bai.

Thank you, Miss.

I still don't understand.

What are Princess Hua's requirements

in hiring?

A great general's soldiers will not be weak.

It's not strange that a capable man

from Crown Prince Mansion is selected.

After hearing what you said,

I think I understand now.

It looks like you're proud of yourself.

No.

Well,

is Hua Liuli doing something lately?

Of course.

I've been talking to Princess Hua's

servant, Yuan Wei,

and working closely with her.

Everything is under control.

Also, Princess Hua doesn't seem

to hate Your Highness.

It's just that

she's been cleaning the yard.

The way she wants the yard to be

is a bit weird.

Why do you say so?

I feel like she's setting up a formation.

I knew that this woman is not simple.

She's simple.

I don't think

she's just pretending to be sick.

She'd take some medicine.

She looks sick.

It looks like she'll fall down

because of the strong wind.

The strangest thing is that

she was serving us tea

by herself.

So I think

she's beautiful and kind.

I feel like taking care of her.

Don't forget she was lively

in Jinling Garden.

She was really agile.

Jihuai,

we can't just grill one side of the meat.

We can't just look at her appearance.

Grill meat?

Why are you still here?

Go to work now.

Your Highness,

I'm leaving now.

Please take care of yourself.

Don't miss me too much.

Why not grill meat tonight?

What?

What?

Bai,

I'm sorry.

Hua family

does not need so many workers.

I'll pay you

three times for today.

This is unfair.

Why me?

Yes, Miss.

Bai is the most diligent

and the best worker.

Bai,

I can tell

how diligent you are,

but happiness is the most important thing

for working here.

You're excellent.

The rest of them will feel tired.

- Yes. - Yes.

So,

please go and find another job.

(Ambitious)

(Happiness)

Come on.

Let's eat noodles.

Uncle Song,

this is

- the taste of Qinghan Prefecture. -The taste of Qinghan Prefecture.

I miss

the taste of Qinghan Prefecture too.

I also wish to stay with General Hua.

Uncle Song.

We won.

My parents are coming back soon.

Let bygones

be bygones.

Yes.

I'm thinking too much.

Miss,

the work is done.

Thank you, Li.

Please get the rest

to take a break.

Thank you, Miss.

Miss, you're great.

Everyone is working hard now.

Of course.

Miss,

I still don't get it.

Why did you fire Bai?

Did you notice that

the others are working harder

after Bai left?

The yard has been tidied up

in one afternoon.

Yes.

It's true.

This is called

"people do not suffer from being few, but from lacking equal distribution".

That's how people are.

If someone

is being outstanding,

the rest wouldn't want to work anymore.

It's...

Furthermore,

He's His Highness's subordinate.

How did you get to know that?

He's just diligent

and he's His Highness's subordinate?

Beg me.

Please.

I still won't tell you.

Uncle Song.

Yuan Wei,

think about it.

Why did he keep pleasing you?

Also,

he knew about the formation

in the yard.

Do you think he's an ordinary guy?

Have you thought about...

What if

it's a coincidence?

Let's eat.

Miss, please eat the noodles.

Let's eat.

It's tasty.

There are so many

coincidences in the world.

What if it's a coincidence?

It's a coincidence.

(Ankang Garden)

Something is wrong with Princess Hua.

I've been working so hard.

I was the best worker,

yet she fired me.

I must find out

her secrets.

Why didn't you say that

you've exposed yourself?

No way!

I'm the Junior Secretary of the Supreme Court.

How would she be able

to expose me?

Stop kidding.

Your Highness,

you must help me.

There's still time.

My late wife was

colluding with others and rising up in rebellion.

The state of Jin could only regain its strength

after a few years.

But I know

her remnants

are still staying in the state of Jin

and waiting for the opportunity.

I know that

the remnants

will not keep hiding.

I have someone

whom I'd like to verify.

I've been spying for some time now.

We

have finally found the best timing.

We have finally drugged

Crown Prince's men.

Keep the formation.

Let's go.

This time,

we'll split.

(Formation)

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Let's go in.

Let's go.

Si, be careful!

Assassin!

(Ankang Garden)

Your Highness,

His Majesty asked me

to bring these here.

(Memorial)

It's ridiculous.

Is the capital too safe

under ruling?

They're handing in

the memorials talking about

the trivial matters.

Your Highness,

an assassin was found in

Princess Hua's mansion.

An assassin?

Useless!

(Hua Mansion)

Your Highness,

you're finally here.

The capital is too dangerous.

As soon as I woke up the morning...

(She's acting again.)

I saw...

Yes,

I woke up in the morning

and saw this man lying down there.

He's not moving

and he's holding

a long sword.

Miss,

someone in the capital must be targeting at us.

We should just go back to Qinghan Prefecture.

(Pei Jihuai is considered very smart,)

(but he was exposed so quickly.)

(The yard seems)

(normal,)

(but it's hidden with mechanism.)

(A few assassins will not be a threat.)

(Hua Liuli, you're not simple.)

He's indeed an assassin.

But who was the person

that overwhelmed the assassin last night?

I don't know.

I thought

Your Highness will protect me.

But I didn't expect that

the assassin still came in.

Luckily my father favors me.

He sent an expert, Uncle Song,

and Yuan Wei to protect me.

Otherwise, I couldn't have met

Your Highness alive.

(It seems like he's found out about it.)

Your Highness,

you should return the potatoes

to us.

We need to eat them.

(It's fresh.)

Your Highness, don't worry.

I'm good at martial arts.

I'll surely protect Miss.

Qi. Ba.

- Yes. - Yes.

Take him away.

- Yes. - Yes.

I can't see this.

They've taken him away.

They've taken him away.

Princess Hua, you have a gentle heart.

You've decorated the yard

in just a few days.

Everyone here

has changed as well.

You'll enter the court to meet His Majesty.

Please prepare yourself well,

Princess Hua.

I'll prepare well for sure.

Let's go.

See you, Your Highness.

Meeting His Majesty tomorrow

will be another tough battle.

(Ankang Garden)

Your Highness.

You're asking me to come so urgently.

Did anything happen?

Look at this.

Isn't this a potato?

I found this in

Hua Mansion's yard

next to the assassin's body.

Take a look

at the cut.

Potato?

They're using this potato

as a hidden weapon.

They're really using all kind of tricks.

They have too many problems.

Send more guards there.

I'm worried.

Sure.

I'll send more guards there.

Your Highness,

what are you worried about?

I'm worried about Princess Hua,

the woman with schemes and plans.

I'm now sure that

under her beautiful skin,

she's still the Hua Liuli

who is cruel

and stubborn.

Okay, don't worry.

I'll monitor her closely.

Miss!

Miss!

You're running late!

Miss!

Get up!

You need to meet His Majesty!

Miss, let's go!

Hurry. Wear your shoes.

It's His Highness's fault

that we're staying in the western suburb.

We need to wake up before dawn.

Let's go.

Hurry. We're running late.

(Memorial) Frame her.

You'll look good wearing this

or that?

This?

This?

Wear them together?

Do I look pale enough?

Miss, stop patting it.

It's red again.

No worries.

I'll continue

in the carriage later.

Yuan Wei.

Go get

the plainest dress for me.

The plainest?

I can't wear expensive dress today.

Otherwise, I might lose my life.

I have a feeling that

today will be a tough day.

Miss,

no matter how you pretend to be a patient,

your lips

can't be covered.

No way.

I mustn't let it

fail me as the sickly beauty.

What's going on?

(What I didn't want to happen has happened.)

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

I've promised to

send you to greet His Majesty.

How can I break my word?

It seems like

you've dressed up today

and it's different from before.

Do I look good?

Your Highness, you're not wearing simple today.

What's your name again?

Yuan Wei.

Go back first.

I'll send Princess Hua off today.

Send her off?

Yuan Wei.

Since His Highness is sending me,

you should go home first

and do something else.

Okay.

Your Highness,

here you go.

This is

the medicine to save her life.

This is the medicine when she's having short of breath.

This is

the medicine when the wind is blowing.

This is the medicine when she's going to faint.

Your Highness,

you must remember clearly.

Her life

is counting on you.

Princess Hua, what have you prepared

to meet His Majesty today?

It's not easy to

fool around in the court.

I've prepared a gift for His Majesty.

I'm sincere.

Great.

I'm looking forward to seeing that.

But, I believe with your ability,

giving pancake as a gift is the best.

Your Highness.

I think

no matter what happened in the past,

I was young and naive.

Let bygones

be bygones.

Move aside!

Move aside!

(Prince Ying, Ji Yuanhao)

I must get to the court

before the Crown Prince is there.

Move aside!

Well,

can you go back there now?

I'm going back.

I'm going back now.

Who is being reckless out there?

How dare they block Hua family's carriage?

It's Prince Ying.

Why is His Highness

in such a hurry?

My eldest brother is diligent.

He wants to be the first person to reach the court.

Surely he wants to rush his horse.

I see.

Your Highness,

listening to the clattering of the hooves of his horse

can make me feel

the power of his enthusiasm.

He's even willing to mess up the market with his horse.

Your Highness,

you mustn't lose to him.

That's why I think

you shouldn't waste time on

sending me to the palace.

Princess Hua, you don't know.

The entire capital knows that

I'm lazy.

Princess Hua, you might be disappointed.

(You've never been lazy)

(when you're monitoring me.)

Furthermore,

I just like to

stay with you.

(Give me a break.)

(Chenming Palace)

Grand Preceptor.

Let me help you.

Your Highness.

There should be affection between father and son,

righteousness between ruler and subject,

(Grand Preceptor Du) distinction between husband and wife,

order between elder and younger,

and trustworthiness between friends,

so that the state can be prosperous and enduring.

Although I'm older,

I'm just a subject.

Your Highness,

(Chenming Palace) please go ahead.

Your Highness.

You don't have to wait for me.

My body is weak.

I can't walk anymore.

Princess Hua, since you're weak,

let me help you.

Your Highness, I'm going to faint.

He's not wearing the imperial robe and not following rules.

He's daring and lawless.

He's even

bullying a girl in public.

Even though Hua family are hostages,

they can't be treated like this.

Your Highness,

please be mindful of your words.

I can't. I'm going to faint.

I'm dizzy.

I'm going to faint.

The medicine for fainting.

Take it and let's go.

(He took the right one.)

Wait at the side chamber later.

Go in once you're summoned.

Let's go.

Follow me.

Brother,

your clothes

are neat today.

Are you in love with someone?

Brother, you've always been faster than me

all these years.

Minister Tian.

You look a bit tired.

What are you hiding in the sleeve?

Thank you, Your Highness.

- Long live Your Majesty! - Long live Your Majesty!

Rise.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Summon Princess Hua!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Long live Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I've finally met Your Majesty.

Before I came here,

my parents have mentioned

many times to me

how majestic Your Majesty is.

After meeting Your Majesty,

words

can't describe

how great Your Majesty is.

My body is weak.

Please forgive me.

I didn't know Wei Mingyue's daughter

is so weak.

Are you happy staying in the capital?

Since she has mentioned that,

I want to take the chance to frame her.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

I'm happy.

As soon as I arrived in the capital,

His Highness

came to welcome me

and he made all the arrangements well.

I'm telling the truth.

And all the officials here

are taking good care of me.

They've also given me

a lot of gifts.

Especially Minister Tian.

He's given me

a lot of textiles, silks,

food and daily goods.

He has even

given me

Jiamin's Night Pearl.

Thank you, Minister Tian.

That's my pleasure.

When I was at the border,

my father told me that

everyone treats Hua family well.

It seems like

it's true.

There's also Assistant Minister Yao.

He knows that my parents

like to play with swords and spears.

He gave me

a weapon chest

with all the weapons

inside.

There's Censor Zhu too.

He's also sent me

a lot of food from the capital.

There are varieties.

I've gained weight

these two days.

Gentlemen,

it's not as simple as it is.

Let's not underestimate the enemy.

You're right,

but you don't need to worry.

Why?

We still have Plan B.

Let me see.

Official Lin has said that

we can only open it

in the court tomorrow.

Your Majesty,

I have a memorial here.

It's given to me by the Grand Master of Splendid Happiness,

Lin Huizhi.

He asked me to pass this

to Your Majesty personally.

Your Majesty, greetings.

I used to advice in the court that

Hua Army was waging war in times of poverty.

I was to resign and be transferred to another province as punishment.

Who knows I met Princess Hua

at the suburban post station.

Let's eat.

Hurry.

Excuse me.

(Lin Huizhi) What has this old man done

to be locked by the heavy metal?

This sinful official framed General Hua

about him waging war in times of poverty,

and solders killing at the border.

It has offended His Majesty

and he's being exiled.

It's considered a light punishment.

You're young

yet you're so cruel.

As an official,

I'm loyal to the imperial court

and dedicated to serving the people.

Hua Yingting is waging war everywhere

and spending all people's money.

Jinpo

keeps intruding our territory.

If we don't fight back,

should we just let them do whatever they want?

You keep talking about serving the people

but actually,

you don't care about the people at the border.

What's this called?

Hypocrite!

You young ladies

are running your mouths!

The meal is here.

The meal is here.

Hello,

this is his meal.

Yuan Wei.

Miss.

I feel dizzy suddenly.

I feel like vomiting.

I can't smell the meat.

Throw it away.

Okay.

What do you mean?

Please,

help this officer

get another bowl of rice.

Remember

not to add any meat.

What do you mean?

Official,

you're being exiled.

Why are you eating meat?

The people at the border

can seldom eat meat.

Aren't you dedicated to serving the nation and the people?

Surely

you need to suffer together with the people.

Princess Hua is odd

and arrogant.

I think

she's been taught by Hua family

so she's holding grudges.

Hua Liuli,

how dare you...

Lin Huizhi

might have been exiled,

but he was

an imperial officer.

Hua Liuli,

you're arrogant,

aren't you?

I dare not

think about this.

Official Lin Huizhi

must have suffered a lot.

Yes.

Princess Hua's behavior

is too much.

(Pretentious hour)

Hello, Flower Goddess.

I'm here today to ask for a romance relationship.

I wish to have a nice husband.

He must be handsome and reliable.

He must treat me well.

I just don't want someone

like Pei Jihuai.

Thank you.

This is the place.

Flower Goddess Temple is efficacious.

You can ask for anything

but marriage.

Yes.

I heard about that too.

Let's go in and pray later.

Yes.

Let's pray for our family.

Yes, don't pray for marriage.

Let's pray.
