[The Trust]

[Episode 03]

Is it real?

I won't let you off,

if you deceive me.

Please calm down.

His Majesty did stay in Fengyi Palace last night.

Xu Yu!

Xinzhu, calm down.

You've known it?

Everyone in the harem has known that

His Majesty stayed in Fengyi Palace.

His Majesty has ignored her for several months.

Why did he suddenly stay with her last night?

I thought you've known him well

and could understand it.

War in the north needs fund

and His Majesty needs Xu's family.

Staying with her is to confuse them.

You're so wise.

The reason why I came here today is to tell you

a piece of good news.

Tell me at once.

I have good news.

What kind of good news?

The good news in my belly.

I have His Majesty's kid.

Well... Congratulations.

About the hair clasp,

which side should I wear?

Left or right?

You're so beautiful.

Both sides will be good.

What about...

wearing it on the left side?

My child and I must be with you forever.

Do Emperor and Queen Mother know it?

No. I dare not tell them.

I decide to tell them when it's in a stable condition.

Anyhow, I dare to hide you nothing.

If you don't mind,

I wish you could be its Mother.

[Yongxi Palace]

What are you doing!

Do not havoc my body!

What do you mean by that?

Your Majesty.

Do you know how weak you are?

But I've practiced for you these days.

You see.

Is your arm stronger?

You!

Let me ask you something.

What?

When you're in the harem,

do you feel

someone is always talking behind you?

It's because

you stayed in Fengyi Palace last night.

All your concubines

are talking about it.

Your Majesty.

Shall I sleep on the floor?

It's not proper.

If so, I should sleep on the floor.

Okay.

Forget it.

I'm also worried about my body.

Your Majesty.

Are you sleeping?

Why am I so beautiful?

I've never noticed it

when I used to look in the mirror.

Why is she still awake?

What is she doing here?

Your Majesty.

You're a gentleman.

How could you pretend to sleep?

Forget it.

Let's sleep on the bed together.

Come on.

As you've ignored me for nearly a year,

few people talk about it around me.

And I think that I shouldn't

only focus on you in the harem.

I don't mean that.

Besides struggling for your love

and having your baby,

there are so many useful things to do.

When I get up every day,

I'll practice my sword, soak my feet

and think of what to eat.

They also could make me happy.

When I gave you up from my heart,

I felt so relaxed.

As you've become a better and better emperor,

I'm happy for you.

While you ignored me more and more,

I didn't become dejected

because I decided to live for myself.

You're the master of the harem

and the empress of the whole country

so you should be their model in terms of words and behaviors.

If every female in the world thinks like you,

then how could a country run well?

Everyone has his or her responsibility.

If he or she hasn't completed it,

how could they say to live for themselves?

That's it.

Sounds reasonable.

As I'm your wife,

it's my responsibility to support you.

So I'm now building up a strong body for you.

It's my great honor to be chosen by the former emperor

as an official here.

How dare I not support you at all costs?

Why do you mention it?

Prime Doctor.

You can speak frankly.

When I hear about the present government affairs,

I always sigh to hold back my tears.

Flood in the south, and war in the north.

Besides these, famines happen along them.

Your Majesty is hard up with them,

having nothing to solve them,

which is caused by no reserve.

If the government repository has food and funds,

we could tackle all our problems

and our enemies could surrender.

Who won't be attracted by it?

In my opinion, we should prompt our people to farm,

which is the basic.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I'm wondering how His Majesty is now.

Greetings to Queen Mother.

Ms. Qin is frail

so you don't need to greet me every day.

Thanks for your affection.

Ms. Qin is delicate and touching.

Sometimes pants from weakness.

Has a unique aroma.

Empress must be tired of serving His Majesty.

That's why she has no time to greet aunt.

Her Highness arrives.

Greetings to Her Highness.

Greetings to Mother.

Rise.

Thanks.

If you still don't come,

I'm afraid we have to stay here

and have a meal with Queen Mother.

It seems you only care about the meal.

As Empress comes, you forget to greet me.

Why does she start to bother about it?

I'm serving Queen Mother

so it's inconvenient to greet you.

We're touched by your love and devotion.

Prime Doctor thinks highly of law and discipline rite

and advocates ruling the world by filial duty.

If he sees your devotion to Mother,

he must be comforted by it.

Greetings to Her Highness.

Stand up.

Thank you.

The reason why you come here in the morning

is to discipline my niece?

It's really difficult for you.

I thought Mother is scrupulous

and amiable to my wife.

But I've never thought she...

- I... - Aunt.

She's always been like this.

You know that.

It seems she has no constraint

after losing her token.

Absurd!

Who dares to interrupt me?

She's in humble reverence before me.

But she's so caustic to my wife.

She is ill-breeding.

How could I think she's virtuous to lead them?

Wudu greets Queen Mother.

I wish you all well.

Why do you come here, Steward Wu?

Your Highness,

His Majesty summoned the Empress due to something urgent.

She needs help?

As His Majesty asked,

then you can go with him.

Excuse me for my absence.

I'll come to beg for your pardon tomorrow.

That's the whole process.

It's Lady Pei who violated the rules.

I just reminded her a little.

But you can't entrap me.

Then tell me about your condition.

Do you know government affairs?

You're just a warrior!

Only know martial!

How dare you! What do you know?

Keep cool. Lower your voice.

- Your Majesty. - Calm down, Prime Doctor.

Your Majesty, please uphold justice!

General Chen, don't fail to appreciate our kindness!

When did you appreciate our generals?

Didn't I?

We fight at bay in the fierce battle!

Well...

It seems all the officials and generals

are not good to him.

By the way,

Prime Doctor and General Chen wanted to report

and I asked them to wait in the study.

Report to me after you hear them.

Prime Doctor, the frontier juncture is urgent

but why couldn't we get the fund and food?

A large country has many people.

Everywhere needs food and fund.

Can't you pacify the generals and soldiers

and ask them to give us more time?

Give you more time?

Why don't you ask our enemies to give us more time?

If they conquer the front juncture,

we'll all be truly sunk!

You only know to fight!

You know nothing about finance!

The finance of our country

not only serves the army!

- You! - Shut up.

Your Majesty, the frontline lacks rations.

If we can't get enough rations,

it will be dangerous for us!

Even if I have to fight against him,

I still have to get the fund.

You have fields and money

so you can support yourselves.

If the enemy attacks,

just protect the vital part.

Why do you ask for money and food so frequently?

Do you think people don't need to eat?

Do they support you in vain?

What are you talking?

If it's enough, do I need to come back from such a distance?

Zamsi is pugnacious.

If we have little food and winter clothes, we will be in danger.

Your Majesty, please be wise and fair!

Grow others' aspirations

and belittle ourselves.

Harass our morale and country.

Please punish him!

But soldiers are not there to farm.

As the winter is coming, it's cold there.

It's time to warm them

with some winter clothes.

I'll thank Your Majesty's great kindness

for our generals and soldiers.

His Majesty always keeps a low profile

but why is he so decisive today?

You can leave now.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, here are the official documents.

Please read them.

Well, just read them for me.

What?

OK.

Zhenbei Marquis.

Recently, I've heard Zamsi

came to attack us several times

while General Xu Ding

has done nothing but wait.

Besides,

Xu Ding pockets a portion of the soldiers' pay,

which makes the army downcast.

Nonsense!

Please calm down.

The old tortoise Zhenbei Marquis

is telling nonsense!

Cast wild aspersions at my father.

My father must hold on to the barracks

but he calls it "doing nothing,"

mentioning nothing about the food shortage.

He only says my father pockets a portion.

Please calm down, Your Majesty!

Only finds faults.

It seems Guan is aimed at Xu.

Give it to Zhenbei Marquis.

Ask him to appreciate my remark well.

Learn it well!

Yes.

Duke, you see... [Mansion of Hengshan Duke]

I'm just a warrior and I can't understand it.

But Wudu said

Emperor flew into a rage

after he heard a few words.

He must be angry with Xu Ding.

Guan.

It's really a good memorial.

So nice.

Come and have a look.

Excuse me, Duke.

I read it many times but I didn't get its real meaning

from every aspect.

Please give me some advice.

Open it.

See.

Here's a shell.

And four legs here.

With a head here.

Still has a small tail.

Isn't it a tortoise?

That's it.

But why did he make a remark like this?

You impeached Xu because he was unwilling to fight.

What else could Xu be?

He scolded indirectly that Xu was just like a tortoise.

It seems His Majesty hates him badly.

As it's improper to scold him face to face,

then he drew an unlike tortoise.

You're so wise

for understanding his mind so deeply.

After hearing your words,

I think I'm filled with wisdom.

Xu Ding lands himself in serious trouble this time.

Though Emperor is young,

he's deliberate and thoughtful.

So brilliant.

I agree with you.

I've never thought

it could be so profound.

His remark has another meaning.

Well...

Discipline.

- Discipline? - Yes.

He means that

we must often discipline Xu Ding.

Guan.

Your report comes really in time.

Harsh and nice!

I see.

I'll work harder and harder later on.

It seems I should congratulate

on your promotion to general in advance.

Thanks for your appreciation, Duke.

I'd like to work for you.

Grapes!

It's a good cover-up.

General Chen didn't make trouble this time.

No official defends him.

It's excusable.

He always thinks I'm young and knows nothing about military affairs.

His words are always aggressive.

He's a general. Stubborn and frank.

He knows nothing convoluted.

Your Majesty, don't mind it.

Xu Yu.

Do you know why I married you?

Do we need to talk about such a heavy topic?

I ascended the throne when I was young. My basis was unstable.

All the officials had their intentions.

I couldn't believe them.

Then why did you marry me?

When the former emperor passed away,

Hengshan Duke was summoned to the palace,

helping me pacify the army and people.

General Xu led a large number of troops,

so he is hard to supervise.

Mother was worried she would become estranged from Hengshan Duke.

When they fight, the country will be in danger.

Then she summoned Prime Doctor Pei.

He's the most prestigious here

and also my uncle.

Of course I could depend on him.

They're counterbalanced.

Balanced each other till now.

Enough, Your Majesty.

Why do you suddenly mention these?

I feel a headache.

I want to go out and have a walk.

I'm leaving first.

Who are dancing and playing music?

I'll go to have a look.

Report to Your Highness.

They're Lady Pei and Ms. Tao.

Go to have a look.

Yes.

Really good scenery.

It's pitiful that Xiao Jingyun missed it.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

I don't know you're here.

Sorry for disturbing Your Majesty.

Please forgive me.

Stand up.

I've never thought you all have unique skills.

It's cold at night

and I think you might be tired.

What about having a drink in my palace?

I... have to approve the documents later.

Well...

Let me show you another dance.

Lady Pei once framed me up in front of Queen Mother.

I won't be fooled again this time.

You!

You pushed me!

I?

Aunt! She pushed me!

Lady Pei.

Are you okay?

Your Majesty.

I'm afraid she's sprained her ankle.

What about going back to have a rest with her?

She's right.

Your Majesty.

It does hurt.

Once bitten,

twice shy.

I'm now the emperor.

What to fear?

Okay!

- Wudu? - Yes.

Go to tell Empress.

She doesn't need to wait for me today.

I'll patronize them tonight.

Yes.

Where did His Majesty go?

His Majesty said to patronize the harem.

What a stupid cow!

You're really a blockhead!

I said something wrong again.

Think it well before reporting to Her Highness.

Patronize the harem?

Her Highness will be unhappy about it again.

Tell me! Who's the king here?

You! You're the king!

You're the king.

Absurd!

Lady Pei!

Pei Xinzhu!

Yes!

What should be the punishment of acting slackly?

I command you

to go out right now

and grant each other 20 boards.

King!

Let me help you down.

The higher you're, the easier you're to fall.

Sounds reasonable.

Steward Wudu. As we're out,

don't go inside to bother His Majesty and Lady Pei to have a sweet night.

Let me have a look.

King.

I feel uncomfortable.

Where?

My heart hurts.

Why?

Thinking of you day and night

brings me heartache.

Besides,

thinking that you may not come later on

makes my heart torn.

So easy.

Then I'll drink with you till you're happy.

It can't be solved by drinking.

Your Majesty.

Please bring me to the bed.

Troublesome.

Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty! Be careful! - Your Majesty!

Don't see me off.

- Stay here. - Your Majesty! Slow down!

Your Majesty!

- Whoops! - Your Majesty! Take care!

Let me help you.

Let's go home!

Your Majesty!

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

So beautiful!

Your Majesty.

Is it the pearl hairpin Emperor sent you?

Could you send it to me?

Wait! Your Majesty! It's...

Thank you.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Is it the osmanthus wine?

Yes.

That's it.

I've just made it.

If you want it,

You can ask servants to make it for you.

My wine!

My wine!

There's still a bottle.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Beauty.

Why did you come back?

Because I feel that

Your Majesty is missing me.

By the way.

Look!

It's your favorite pearl hairpin!

Come on.

Let me put it on for you.

Xu Yu!

Xu Yu!

So beautiful!

You!

You!

Hold your face and say "beauty"?

Shameless!

Bad temper.

But I like it.

Look at yourself! Alcohol on your breath!

Stay away from me!

I've drunk your favorite osmanthus wine!

Come on! Drink it!

Xiao Jinyun!

Don't you think my bed is too hard?

Guess what?

I brought you the softest quilt in the city!

I looted it from Mother

while she's falling asleep.

Surprise?

Unexpected?

Come on.

Cover it up!

Xu Yu!

When I was young,

I thought to bring all the best

to you.

But...

you just ignored me.

In my childhood,

you're just a little crazy girl.

His Majesty allowed you to play here,

not to scare me.

You're here to accompany me.

After I'm here,

I find that you're so timid.

How scared you are!

My wish from my childhood

is to marry you

when I grow up.

But I've never thought...

you're that kind of person...

Which kind?

Xu Yu.

Xu...

Tell me and then sleep.

To govern with virtue,

just like North Star.

Settle in your position and stars will surround you.
