[The Trust]

[Episode 19]

I swear by it today that

we'll be together till death do us part,

and never doubt each other,

otherwise...

As husband and wife,

we never doubt or separate from each other.

Why are you so free?

When did you come?

From...

I'm for your good.

Your bodies haven't switched.

If you're overcome by feelings...

Xiao Jinming, shut up!

Do you want a beat?

Jinyun, don't be angry.

I want to witness the time when your souls switch back.

Xu Youran.

Xu Youran, I'm here again.

Look at what I bring here.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Save the courtesy.

Xiao Jinming, don't be naughty.

It's the meteorite black crystal

that Yu brought back from the north.

This way.

Yes, it is.

The same material as Her Highness's bracelet.

When will we switch back?

The operation of nature has its own laws.

I haven't calculated the date

of the next solar eclipse.

I'm afraid that

since Jinming has discovered it,

others may easily discover it

as time goes by.

I don't think so.

Perhaps no one

is as smart as me in the world.

Jinming.

Just because even you notice that,

we're quite worried.

Why are you laughing?

Still laughing?

I'll knock you unconscious and let you

work in Xunfang Brothel.

You still remember Xunfang Brothel?

Sister-in-law.

When you battled in the North,

Xu Youran and I

were busy in Jing'an.

Your trick is not worth mentioning.

Yu is not interested in what you do.

I'm interested.

Quite interested.

Tell me.

We caught a spy.

Really?

Yes.

What spy?

Gigi sent him here

to collude with Hengshan Duke.

Where is the spy?

What? He was made into a carpet?

No.

He's in the prison underground.

When can I be released?

According to Xiaoyao Duke,

he's hidden here.

Why do you speak like me?

Xu Youran.

You also agree.

You disagree.

Don't you agree?

Your Majesty, what do you think?

Wait and see.

Wait? You know--

Hengshan Duke has many connections

in the court.

It's just OK to be cautious.

We should wait for the chance to eradicate

all his underlings to purify the court

so as to permanently eliminate the evil.

Well, I see.

What do you know?

You give me a quiet inner palace.

I should return you a stable court.

Wudu.

Why do you laugh?

I'm just happy.

Haven't seen you for long.

I think you're more and more mighty.

You must have been honed

in the battle in the north.

It would be great

if pedantic old ministers

could also be well-informed.

Go.

General Xu Ding

makes great contributions in guarding the northwest and

subduing the North.

Confer him the first-class Duke with the title of Zhencheng.

That's all.

Your Majesty.

Only those who help found the state shall

get the title of Duke.

It's quite unsuitable

to give the title to Xu Family.

I'm afraid. I don't deserve it.

Please take back your order.

Your Majesty.

Xu Ding failed to guard the northwest,

making you battle in person.

I think he's guilty.

Uncle, what's your idea?

Your Majesty.

I agree with Zhenbei Marquis.

Although General Xu makes no contribution

in pacifying the North,

he still makes efforts.

I think merits offset faults.

Merits offset faults?

General Xu, stand up.

Thank you.

What should I say?

Someone will oppose with the reason

that a peaceful era doesn't need new dukes.

How will you handle it?

Your ministers never do practical things,

they only wag their tongues.

I don't know what to do.

You can say

there's no peaceful era.

Since you return with victory,

you've broadened horizons and learned a lot.

You have the most say.

The situation in the northwest was tense,

with a risk of collapse.

Thanks to General Xu,

we turned the situation around.

Your Majesty.

Can you repeat the sentence?

Which one?

The first sentence.

I forget again.

We've also heard rumors that

Xu Ding's inadequate protection caused you

to suffer serious injuries

and almost die in the north.

Shut up!

I won the battle.

The state belongs to me.

I have the right to reward him.

How dare you doubt me?

Don't be angry.

It's the rule established by the first emperor.

Each former emperor obeys the rule.

Please think twice.

Please think twice.

You mention former emperors many times.

Why don't you die with them?

Why standing here?

Hurry up.

His Majesty seems to have changed a lot

since he returned.

As far as I know,

Xu followed the late emperor to battle and guarded the northwest for years.

The late emperor

planned to bestow him the title but...

The world and times are different now.

You pacified the northwest to meet your father's will.

Xu assisted two emperors with great honor.

I think he deserves the reward.

Yes.

A good emperor meets a good minister.

It's Dasheng's legend.

Uncle.

What's your idea?

It depends on your wise decision.

Prime Doctor.

Since it shows the late emperor's will

and infinite royal graciousness,

we...

That's enough.

Your words comfort me a lot.

That's all.

That's all!

We shall leave.

Long Live Your Majesty!

[Hengshan Duke Mansion]

Dad, why did you ask me to come?

Do you still blame me?

I dare not.

This morning, Xu Ding

was conferred Zhencheng Duke.

Why did you defend him?

Dad, he made contributions.

He deserves the title.

You!

I'm angry.

In court,

the mouths of ministers

are sharper than my knife in battle.

But I saw you handle them well.

Really?

Ghosts are afraid of demons.

You're so bad.

You think I'm a demon?

Your Majesty, General Xu arrives.

Let him in.

Yes.

Yu, do you know your mistake?

Dad, I...

Did you make the decision?

You're messing around.

It's not the case.

It's the idea of His Majesty.

Even so,

can't you dissuade him?

It's his idea.

I can't dissuade him.

You deserve the title.

Don't refuse.

Greetings...

Your Highness.

No etiquette is needed.

Yu.

I should obey the rules in the inner palace.

Zhencheng Duke.

Have you noticed

we swapped the bodies?

Yu has told me.

Dad.

Are you surprised?

Your Majesty.

We're a family. Don't be overcautious.

Your Majesty.

Even if I don't have the title,

My family status has surpassed

those ordinary aristocratic families.

I don't need a higher title.

Yu made great contributions

on behalf of me.

I can't directly reward her. It's a reward for her.

But...

Even though you don't want fame,

you still need to plan for future generations.

With this hereditary title,

General Xu Jun and General Xu Biao

can marry and have children earlier.

If so,

thank you for your reward.

Thank you on behalf of my sons.

Your Majesty, it's strange.

My brothers do not look very smart.

But it has nothing to do with you

that they can't marry.

You're making trouble.

After I get along with them,

I think they are both talents for the court.

I'm very pleased.

I hope Dasheng

can have more young talents in the future.

Is it unsuitable that I put your family in an important position?

Our descendants can

continue to inherit titles.

I'm happy of course.

But I'm afraid

that people may say that

I'm a dangerous beauty.

Look at your face.

You're not a beauty at all.

I...

What do you mean?

Am I ugly?

I'm not King Zhou.

And you're not his concubine, Daji.

Who's more beautiful?

You...

What's on your mind?

Your Majesty.

Prime Doctor has sent someone to deliver

the list of successful candidates.

Come in.

Wudu, why are you laughing?

I...

I'm happy to see

you and Her Highness

lead a peaceful life.

Shall we go to the garden?

OK.

To the garden.

Yes, Your Highness.

The garden.

♫ So I can meet you ♫

♫ Lend me a little tacit understanding so I can be very happy ♫

♫ Lend me a little longing and give it back to you double ♫

♫ Don't worry ♫

♫ There are many storms in this world, I will give you a small piece of sunshine ♫

You shall leave.

Let me accompany him.

Remember. Don't let anyone

disturb our peace.

Yes.

♫ My love has gone through so many tests ♫

♫ It's so close but I'm not sure about it ♫

I followed Her Highness like a shadow.

Now she doesn't let me

accompany her.

Penny pincher!

Listen.

I came here when I was six.

At eight, I followed him.

I'm like the shadow of His Majesty.

Though we're not as intimate as before,

I never complain.

Listen.

It's Dasheng's fortune

that they deeply love each other.

Wudu.

Are you talking about His Majesty privately?

Concubine Pei.

You don't accompany him,

but loiter away the time here.

His Majesty treats you too well.

Wudu, what are you doing?

He's in the garden.

I want to have a look.

Please be lenient with me.

He told us

no one shall disturb

Her Highness and His Majesty.

She's also here?

Yes.

He closed the garden for her?

Yes.

She deserves it.

Her Highness was troubled a lot by her.

Yes. A big troublemaker.

Feeling better?

I made great efforts to strengthen your body.

Quite healthy.

Pinch.

OK.

I should also exercise.

Three months later,

I'll return you with a healthy body.

Well, Your Majesty.

After the province exam,

should I prepare for the palace exam?

I want Rites Ministry

to take charge of the whole process.

The palace exam shall be canceled.

Why?

You don't like studying.

The palace exam deals with

moral cultivation and learning.

It's hard for you.

I think it can't be canceled.

The palace exam can showcase

the emperor's literary and military strategies.

If we cancel it,

firstly, the royal authority will be compromised.

Secondly,

Hengshan Duke will take chance to play tricks.

Yu. I'm worried that

you can't deal with literary matters.

I must deal with them well.

You dislike cavalry and archery.

But you still rode

a thousand miles to the north to save me.

As long as you help me review

Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts,

I'll make it.

Are you serious?

I'm not joking.

When I was Xu Yu,

I didn't care about others' thoughts.

But now

I'm the emperor. I can't make any mistakes.

No.

I have to remember ten more items.

Friends from afar.

Learn from time to time.

To get happiness.

Jinyun.

What?

Since she has returned,

why should I deal with official documents?

When you dealt with official affairs,

I think you've become maturer a lot.

You also assisted Yu on the court today.

I'm pleased.

Are you detecting me?

I just want to be Xiaoyao Duke.

The palace exam will be held soon.

I have to help Yu review.

Please help me for some days.

When will it end?

I haven't played football for long.

Look.

My psoas are all flaccid.

I have poor eyesight because

I haven't played cricket fighting for long.

Lack of shopping makes me out of fashion.

Zhaixing Pavilion...

Mimic me?

Annoying.

I'm reviewing.

Look at the beautiful lotuses here.

They are blooming so well.

Aunt.

Xu Yu always stays with His Majesty.

Why not interfere?

Xinzhu.

Even though you dislike her,

don't forget the etiquette.

She's in charge of the harem.

You should call Yu Her Highness.

Aunt, I see.

Queen Mother.

You often said

His Majesty should treat

inner palace equally

so as to pacify the court.

Now he only loves Her Highness.

And Xu Ding is in a high position.

Aren't you afraid the Xu Family will abuse power?

I have punished Her Highness

in a serious way.

Look at yourself.

You always complain and cry in front of me.

Does it work?

Have you reflected on yourself?

How much are you dedicated to His Majesty?

What matters is

winning his heart.

You don't make any effort at all.

I know you care about me.

But can you teach me

how to win his heart?

Maid Hong. Maid Bai.

Yes.

Teach my stupid niece a bit.

Yes.

Let them teach me

how to win a man's heart?

Are you surprised?

They've accompanied me for many years.

They've witnessed how I become Queen Mother

from a concubine.

Aren't they qualified?

If so,

I'll listen to them.

Madam.

Is there anything wrong

with my outfit today?

No.

Graceful and luxurious, showy and charming.

But if you always wear fancy clothes,

His Majesty will think such wearing

lacks some surprise.

Do you mean I should dress more flashily?

You misunderstand me.

He is accustomed to fancy clothes.

If you can occasionally restrain luxury

and appear in front of him

in a simple and elegant manner,

you will definitely attract his attention.

Your Majesty.

Stand up.

Be a bit shy when speaking.

Cover half of your face.

It can stir up his compassion.

You're too arrogant to show weakness.

If you can show weakness at the right time,

you can get a lot of pity.

When you encounter His Majesty,

look at him with shyness,

remain reserved,

and lift your lips lightly with a smile that reveals your eight teeth.

Time is up.

What's next to "learn from time to time"?

That's easy.

Learn from time to time.

Think carefully.

I almost remember it.

You should be confident.

You just recited it all.

I think you don't forget.

You just can't remember it for a moment.

Is it not pleasant?

I am a once-in-a-century

prodigy in terms of studying.

What a fool!

Just the first sentence of the first chapter

of the first book for a 5-year-old kid.

Friends from afar, what's next?

Well...

Jinyun.

I've dealt with all the documents.

Good.

You know me quite well.

Yu.

The crickets in my mansion are still starving.

Go ahead.

You need to remind him to come early tomorrow.

Come early tomorrow.

Well...

Well...

Big stuffed bun.

Look at the mask.

The norm during the annual exam period.

Everywhere are the students coming for exams.

You're really annoying.

I haven't finished reading.

But you bring me

to take part in the temple fair.

So I delay you?

Let's go back and review.

I'll help you study hard.

What are you doing?

Since we've come here,

let's just have fun.

Hey, you!

He's Xu Jun.

Your...

Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xu.

We have a day off.

Are you here to have tea?

Students have come here recently.

People often talk about learning in tea houses.

I don't read much.

So I want to listen.

We also came to listen.

Together?

Won't we go to the temple fair?

Temple fair?

Vulgar.

The scholars like us should stay with them.

Go.

This way.

Zhang Xuewu.

You study martial arts.

Why do you come here?

I was ignorant and took the martial arts exam.

Now I take literary exams.

Literature matters now.

It's useless to win the first place

in martial arts exams.

Yes.

Soldiers fight and brave the wind and dew.

Not only is there no reward,

there may also be punishment.

A literati can return home in glory

with just a few words.

What you said is outdated.

After General Xu returned,

His Majesty gave him the title

of Zhencheng Duke.

Really?

We're too busy with the exam

to know current events.

General Xu is a military marquis.

Now he becomes a duke.

His Majesty isn't afraid of his fame.

He trusts military officials.

I'm looking forward to the palace exam.

Yes.

Are you crazy?

Aren't you afraid that

your discussion here

will be known to His Majesty?

Who are you?

We don't mean

to slander His Majesty.

Even if he is here,

I still dare say so.

You...

Crazy guys!

It doesn't matter.

He is an open-minded emperor.

He'll appreciate you

if your words hold water.

Bro, you're right.

You're really open-minded.

I admire you.

By the way,

the courtesan told me

you went to Xunfang Brothel days ago.

I...

I never go there.

Yes.

You even don't want to marry.

Why did you go there?

I...

It's a long story.

It starts from

investigating Yunyang Earl and Zhenbei Marquis.

We planned to enjoy the temple fair.

But you insisted on coming here.

Troublemaker.

I'm exhausted.

Even your brother

pays attention to scholars.

The palace exam will be held days later.

Have you finished reading?

They're able to make an impromptu speech

because they've studied for over ten years.

I only study for ten days.

It's enough for me to read the test question.

This is the question.

Bear it in mind.

You must raise a question in person.

Jinyun.

I'm poorly educated. Don't cheat me.

It's wordy.

It's an article.

Is it a question?

Yes.

Well...

Jinyun.

Jinyun.

When I arrived home,

you asked Wudu to take me back.

Stop murmuring.

Are all the documents finished?

Well.

It's work-life balance.

I won't blame you.

But the exam is coming.

You promised to finish all the documents.

You must finish the task today.

I didn't promise. You forced me.

Murmuring what?

I'll finish the task for sure.

Look at the question.

In a word,

ask them

why governing the state

with virtue has little effect.

Come on.

To make it short,

why not simplify?

The question just needs a few words.

The emperor's question

shouldn't be short.

The exam is not only for scholars

but also for showing how to be an emperor.

Don't cheat me.

In story-telling scripts,

emperors are portrayed

as sitting upright with few words.

Don't cheat me.

Who told me she can make it?

Me.

Who told me she won't embarrass Xiao's Family?

Me.

Who...

Still me.

So?

Come on.

Look.

Although the article is long,

I'll explain to you word by word.

It's not hard to understand.

For example,

look at this sentence.

Great harmony

guarantees long-lasting prosperity.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. Your Highness. Duke.

Have some soup.

More strength.

Didn't you have dinner?

Duke.

You're nice.

Of course.

I came here at six years old

and followed him at eight.

I've served him in this way since he was little.

I still remember you three

and Jinyue played together.

When you were tired,

I brought white fungus soup

and you fought for it.

Jinyue is a bad boy.

He's traveled for years.

Now he doesn't play with us.

Ask him to come here.

He's a lord.

You'll see him in the exam.

Really?

Very cozy.

The soup tastes sour.

Your Majesty.

Long Live Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you.

Well...

What should I say?

Today, His Majesty will make the question in person.

You will not be guilty of speech.

You can speak freely to show what you got.

Yes.

It's 100 times

more hard to read poetry

than to battle.

I need to say something to

ease the atmosphere.

Take it easy.

I won't eat you.

Sit down.

Yes.

Your Majesty, shall we start now?

OK.

Listen to the question.

Discourse on politics

within four hours.

I heard that governance relies on ways

and ways rely on morality.

Ancient and modern...

What are the bookish words next?

I was ignorant and took the martial arts exam.

Now I take literary exams.

Literature matters now.

It's useless to win the first place

in martial arts exams.

Well.

You may not understand bookish words.

I just want to know

which is more important to Dasheng,

culture or military?

Your Majesty.

He not only forgot the question,

but also changed it.
