[The Princess Royal]

[Adapted from Mo Shu Bai's novel, "The Princess Royal"]

[Episode 24]

[Princess's Mansion]

Just this bit?

- Yes. That's all for now. - Recruiting talents?

Young Master, I need to tell you something.

The Su Family is hell bent on recruiting talents.

They even brought out Right Chancellor Su.

If you want to call them as busy as a marketplace, it's not exaggerating at all.

But look at us...

Su Rongqing strongly opposed the imperial examination before.

But he changed his mind all of a sudden. He's clearly trying to fight with me.

What did you say, Young Master?

Before?

That would cost so much...

Hush now. Just go.

Go.

Okay.

Everyone! Everyone.

Listen.

Her Highness and our prince consort said

that whoever's article was selected would be awarded with one silver tael.

- One silver tael? - One silver tael?

This is more practical than meeting the right chancellor.

Of course.

The prince consort also came from being a commoner, so he knows what commoners like us want better.

- That's right. - That's right.

I just wrote this today. Is this the place for signing up?

Yes.

- Everyone. - Queue up.

My friend.

So strong.

Looks like money sure is more persuasive than meeting the right chancellor.

- Of course. - My goodness.

The expenditure here will be paid with your wage. I'm leaving.

No way! My wage will never be enough for this.

This poem discusses the idea that people have similar natures but different habits.

Whether people harbor good or evil intentions is determined by their dispositions and habits.

Habits change as things change.

It can be especially shown in their actions. Disposition is an innate quality.

Calmness is the guiding principle. This is the main point of this essay.

It is indeed well-written.

Your Highness, do you know that it was written by a candidate who's going to attend this year's imperial examination?

Your Highness, you'll be counting on them in the future.

Consort Rou has arrived.

Your Highness, today's lesson shall conclude here.

Please finish your assignment.

Yes, sir.

Official Su.

Your Highness.

Cheng'er, I wish to speak to Official Su in private.

You should leave now.

Sir. Mother. I shall take my leave.

Pei Wenxuan is directly offering the candidates money. It has had a big impact on us.

What should we do?

No need to be anxious, Your Highness.

Just make sure your men don't make any mistakes.

Leave the rest to me.

I will notify you immediately of any changes.

Thank you, Official Su.

I will do my best.

We still need to wait for an opportunity

for Prince Su to go out and recruit talents for us.

Why are you here for me, Brother Su?

Brother Shangguan, do you perhaps have a candidate in mind for the imperial examination's chief examiner?

That's a decision for the Ministry of Personnel.

It is a thankless job.

How about... Liu Hangchun?

Liu Hangchun?

I fear he's not trustworthy. He often makes too many mistakes.

If someone finds his shortcomings, it'll be...

Who do you suggest, Official Su?

My son, Rongqing, is very dedicated to this matter.

I wonder if it's possible for him to have the opportunity to...

Brother Su, His Majesty promotes the imperial examination to contend against noble families like us.

The chief examiner cannot be one of us.

Therefore, we must find someone who isn't from a noble family...

but can be under our control.

Your Highness, how is it?

You asked me to give you the signatures of those handsome scholars.

But Pei Wenxuan isn't willing to cooperate.

Forget about it now. Just give me Liu Hangchun's case file.

Your Highness, you can't break your promise.

When did I promise you that I'd definitely bring them back?

I did try for you. Don't push your luck too far.

But I already promised my friends. They were all so excited.

The case files you want are all there.

What's going on now? Tell me.

It's not just Liu Hangchun anymore. [Liu Hangchun]

Su Rongqing is also eyeing it.

Su Rongqing?

He used to look down on this.

Why does he now take it so seriously?

Right. The noble families all used to look down on the examination candidates.

But now, they've become coveted.

Based on what happened before,

this year's imperial examination will be full of talented people.

Pei Wenxuan's disciples will fill the imperial court, and he will become fully fledged.

But why is Su Rongqing meddling in this suddenly?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

It seems like I have to secure Pei Wenxuan's position as soon as possible.

When will you carry out your plan?

Now.

[Qingmei Restaurant]

Official Liu, I'm here. Come and catch me.

- I'm over here. - I'll catch you.

Official Liu.

I'm catching you.

I'm over here, Official Liu.

Beautiful ladies, stop being mischievous and come to me now.

If I catch you, I'll punish you greatly!

[Inspectorate]

I... I...

The Inspectorate Office even cares about this?

Her Highness wants to see you. Please come with me, Official Liu.

Greetings, Your Highness. I did not know that you were here.

Please forgive me for the lack of appropriate reception.

Official Liu, why are you so tense?

I invited you here to ask you to have tea with me.

No need to be so anxious. Rise now.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Take a seat.

You must be very busy lately, Official Liu.

It's all right.

I can tell.

I heard Madam Liu recently gave birth to a son.

This is my gift to you.

Open it and take a look.

Please spare me, Your Highness. Please don't give me a hard time.

Official Liu, I'm not giving you a hard time.

I'm asking for a favor from you.

I've heard you are in charge of the mobilizations of officials below the fifth rank in the Ministry of Personnel.

I have someone I want your help with, Official Liu.

My consort is a talented man.

If no one plays a dirty trick, he can easily excel in the role of a secretary of examinations.

So don't be scared. I just want you to pay attention to him.

I know someone might have talked to you already,

but I hope you can make a sound judgment.

Your Highness, I can't make a decision on this.

The Prince Consort must rely solely on his talent to see if he can join the Ministry of Personnel and become a secretary of examinations.

I will handle this with fairness and impartiality,

so please rest assured, Your Highness.

I can naturally rest assured after hearing you say that, Official Liu.

As you are satisfied, Your Highness.

If there's nothing else, I shall take my leave now.

Take care, Official Liu.

Your Highness, the list of staff mobilizations within the Ministry of Personnel is almost confirmed. It's just a few days' time.

Once Liu Hangchun adds the prince consort's name to it,

things will already be set even if Wang Houwen finds out about it.

Indeed.

Once the Ministry of Personnel produces the list, the Ministry of Justice will release its list of staff mobilizations soon.

Pei Liming is doing the follow-up work to Xie Lanqing's case.

So he should be guaranteed the position of Minister of Justice.

Young Master.

- Any news from our informants? - Yes.

You asked them to keep an eye on the Princess's Mansion. They went to see Liu Hangchun.

It must be to acquire someone from the Ministry of Personnel.

What I need to be sure of now is whether it was Her Highness or Pei Wenxuan who wanted to meet with him.

- It's Her Highness. - Her Highness.

Great. I wasn't able to find an opening.

Now, it presents itself.

Your Highness, Second Young Master sent a message saying that he was setting up a trap.

Let me read it.

He said that all you need to do is follow his plan.

This operation is testing your cooperation relationship.

Your Highness, just tell me the truth. Are they handsome?

I didn't pay attention to them.

Even though they're so charming?

Your Highness. Miss Shangguan. My young master asked me to deliver this to you.

He did it!

Many charming bachelors came to Huajing for a forum.

I asked Su Ronghua to get me their signatures.

Many noble ladies are coveting their signatures.

It won't be a bad thing to do them a favor.

Su Ronghua, Huajing's most handsome man.

Su Ronghua, charming and handsome.

Su Ronghua, double power in looks and talents.

You may hang this portrait of mine in your chamber.

It will be nice on the eyes every day.

You want to do those ladies a favor?

Tell Su Ronghua he's done for.

I shall relay this message verbatim.

Both of you wanted to see me at the same time today.

I am so honored.

May I know what I can do for you.

Here, Official Wang.

Thank you, Second Young Master Su.

Official Wang, we came to recommend someone for the Ministry of Personnel.

Just this?

You could've just dispatched a messenger to me.

No need to come to me personally.

But my Ministry of Personnel has only the position of the Secretary of Examinations left.

It's a sixth-ranked position. I'm afraid you may look down on it, Second Young Master Su.

Official Wang,

isn't the Vice Minister of Personnel pending, too?

You're right, Official Su.

But many people are coveting that position.

I wonder who you'd like to recommend.

Official Wang, the list of nominees for the position of the Secretary of Examinations is here.

Please give instructions.

[Pei Wenxuan, Cui Shuhe, Shangguan Yu, Shuangguan Minzhi...]

[Pei Wenxuan]

Your Highness, I don't dare to hide this from you.

I saw with my own eyes that Official Wang circled the prince consort's name.

Good.

When he's been officially appointed, I have another reward for you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

- You may leave now. - I'll take my leave, Your Highness.

Your Highness, handling the prince consort's affairs

seems to make you happier than handling your own affairs.

Of course. I'm used to handling my affairs.

It's my first time doing so much for someone else.

You're odd, Your Highness.

For others, it's always that men are happy when they help women resolve their issues.

When the prince consort spoils you, you don't feel too thrilled.

Yet when helping the prince consort, you are elated.

What do you know?

Being spoiled requires no skill, but spoiling others shows that you are a capable one.

Someone can like you, but you will eventually lose your good looks as you age.

However, it's different when you like him.

You can like him when you want, and leave when you don't want to anymore.

It's very freeing.

How enlightening, Your Highness.

Don't believe Her Highness's nonsense.

She's just being stubborn.

How am I stubborn?

Your Highness,

perhaps one doesn't need a specific reason to feel happy after helping someone else.

Maybe it's just because you like him.

This isn't something embarrassing.

That's right.

It indeed isn't something embarrassing.

Don't tell me you didn't sleep at all last night.

Yes. I'm a little nervous.

You don't actually believe that I could get things done for you, do you?

How could I dare not believe in you?

But this is my first promotion, and you helped me with it personally.

So, of course, I am nervous.

All right.

Enter the hall!

See you later.

- Boundless fortune to Your Majesty. - Boundless fortune to Your Majesty.

- Long Live Your Majesty. - Long Live Your Majesty.

- Please rise, dear officials. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Minister Wang, tell me about the staff mobilizations by the Ministry of Personnel.

Your Majesty.

The new Minister of Justice will be Su Rongqing.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

He actually took my second uncle's place?

Just how many dirty tricks did he play to steal that position?

The new Vice Minister of Personnel will be Pei Wenxuan.

Him?

Oh my!

It's supposed to be a sixth-ranked position, Secretary of Examinations.

How come it has suddenly become a fourth-ranked position?

- Official Pei! - Official Pei!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

- Official Pei. - Official Pei has fainted.

- Official Pei. - Pei Wenxuan?

Pei Wenxuan?

What is happening?

Your Majesty, the prince consort has fainted.

May I take him to rest?

Bring him to the side hall for now.

- Summon an imperial physician to see what is going on. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Hurry.

How is he?

Your Highness, the prince consort suffers from exhaustion,

and his previous injuries are yet to heal fully.

He has fainted because he is overwhelmed with worries, and it impaired his mind.

He will need a few days to recuperate.

Anything else to be aware of?

Are there any herbs he needs to avoid?

There's only one thing.

It's just this...

There is no need for him to restrain himself from conjugal consummation...

That's enough. I understand.

Anything else?

Sleep more. Eat more. He should go out for a stroll more when he's free.

Relaxing his mind can be beneficial, too.

Okay. Thank you both.

- I'll take my leave. - I'll take my leave.

Your Highness.

Right. Ask them to investigate who is behind the staff mobilizations.

Yes, Your Highness.

He fainted at court.

Isn't it great to be the Vice Minister of Personnel?

Did he faint from anger or happiness?

Anger, of course.

Pei Wenxuan is a cunning man who cannot be underestimated.

When met with such news, he wouldn't be happy.

He received such a huge promotion and is still angry. How is that possible?

Other ministers will not agree with him becoming the Vice Minister of Personnel.

Not only will he not get that position, but His Majesty will begin to doubt him too.

Additionally, His Majesty will grow wary when the Inspectorate Office grows too powerful.

As soon as he starts to worry, Pingyue's influence in the imperial court ends.

I must say, Official Su laid out a good plan.

Young Master Su is so amazing.

You're awake.

How do you feel?

- Do you want water? - No need.

Your Highness, did you catch the rest of the staff mobilizations?

I'll get the list from the Ministry of Personnel later.

Your Highness, I know you're acting in my best interest,

but promoting me all the way to the Vice Minister of...

I asked for the position of Secretary of Examinations.

I didn't ask for the position of vice minister.

Then...

Pei Wenxuan sure rose quickly through the ranks.

He's lucky.

- Did you see His Majesty's face just now? - I did.

His Majesty is upset that Princess Pingyue is meddling too far.

I'm afraid that the prince consort can't get the position of vice minister.

What brought you to me, Brother Su?

Brother Shangguan, do you perhaps have a candidate in mind as the imperial examination's chief examiner?

Who do you recommend?

Pei Wenxuan.

Second Young Master, your joke has gonetoo far.

Hasn't he been our enemy the whole time?

Think about it, Official Wang.

With His Majesty's temperament, Pei Wenxuan will never get this position.

Because he wouldn't dare take it.

Official Su, I believe in your capability,

but you represent the interests of those noble families.

Your Highness,

what if I tell you I can give you the Inspectorate Office?

I heard that you used to fancy Princess Pingyue.

That is the past. It doesn't need to be mentioned.

You just have to tell me if you trust me or not.

What do you want me to do?

Go to Wang Houwen and ask him to appoint Pei Wenxuan as the Vice Minister of Personnel.

Rongqing,

no matter what others say about you,

in my eyes, you're the best and the most excellent one.

I entrust the Su Family to your care.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Congratulations, Official Pei.

Vice Minister Pei, I shall see you in the Ministry of Personnel.

You flattered me.

It's just a list.

And I am too inexperienced. I'm afraid I cannot take on this responsibility.

You're too modest, Vice Minister Pei.

I have faith in you.

- Your Highness. - What's the matter?

I feel dizzy. Let's go home. I'll feel better then.

Official Pei.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Thanks.

Come on. Slowly.

- That was a lousy act. - I know.

You're heavy.

Pei Wenxuan, this is just the first big gift I'll be giving to you.

Your Highness.

Official Liu, why are you kneeling here?

Do you think you did something wrong?

Get up and speak.

- Just speak then. - Your Highness, last night,

someone gave me the list of staff mobilizations of fifth-ranked officials and above.

He asked me to remove Official Pei's name from the position of Secretary of Examinations.

I didn't dare to defy your order.

But that person said it'd be beneficial for the prince consort.

I thought that the prince consort being able to become the Vice Minister of Personnel

was better than being a secretary of examinations.

Moreover, the list of the mobilizations concerning fifth-ranked positions and above

would be submitted to His Majesty in advance.

If His Majesty first saw that the prince consort was one of the candidates for the Vice Minister of Personnel,

then he saw the list I wrote,

he might think that I failed in my duties. Therefore, I...

Therefore, you removed his name from the position of Secretary of Examinations.

My prince consort becoming the Vice Minister of Personnel is a good thing.

Why are you so scared?

Who came to you? What did they tell you?

It was Official Wang, Wang Houwen.

He told me Consort Rou wanted someone else to be the Secretary of Examinations, and he wanted me to arrange for it.

I didn't dare to do that for him, so I told him that someone already took that position.

He asked me who it was, and I told him.

He then told me that the prince consort had been appointed as the Vice Minister of Personnel.

I also thought it was odd.

But if he was already appointed as the Vice Minister of Personnel,

I supposed there was no point in keeping him there.

But unexpectedly, the prince consort fainted at the court today.

Everyone spread that he was simply overwhelmed by happiness,

but I knew that I must have done something wrong.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Stand up.

I now know what happened.

You may leave, Official Liu.

I'll take my leave.

Before our next lesson, I hope you can explain to me

how to be an effective ruler with self-discipline.

Yes, sir.

Greetings, Official Su.

Your Highness.

May I speak frankly, Your Highness?

Please do.

I believe His Highness should volunteer to be the Secretary of Examinations.

As his mother, you are from a humble family. It can be justified.

The imperial examination only recruits commoners.

They have no foundation. What would I need them for?

Don't be impolite, Cheng'er.

Some of them are very knowledgeable. You can pick a good one to train.

In time, they will be one of the noble families, and they can be used by you.

You're brilliant, Your Highness.

It's all your foresight, Official Su.

Cheng'er, thank your tutor for his guidance.

Thank you, sir.

Answer me.

What kind of qualifications does Pei Wenxuan have?

How dare you appoint him as the Vice Minister of Personnel?

I rarely meddle in affairs in the Ministry of Personnel

because I have faith in your judgment.

But what are you doing here?

How can Pei Wenxuan be given such an important position?

Your Majesty,

Vice Minister Pei might be young, but he is the prince consort.

- Her Highness... - So what if she's a princess?

Can a princess be above the laws, the state principles, or me?

Tell me.

Who helped Pei Wenxuan get the position of the Vice Minister of Personnel?

Tell me honestly.

Your Majesty, Princess Pingyue seeks an audience.

Reject her request.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Wait. Summon her in.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Leave now. Reflect upon yourself at home.

I'll have others investigate the truth later.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Official Wang, you're a third-ranked minister who's served in the court for a long time.

No need to extend such formality to me.

A minister is just nothing.

The former Minister of Justice, Xie Lanqing, also the master of the Xie Family,

was easily taken down by you.

Let me offer you some kind-hearted advice.

Your honor is contingent upon the Shangguan Family behind you.

After all, the noble families are your allies.

Don't pick the wrong side and walk the wrong path.

I'll take my leave, Your Highness.

Your Highness, please.

Your Majesty, Princess Pingyue is here.

Greetings, Imperial Father.

Rise.

Pei Wenxuan has been officially appointed.

What other complaints do you have?

Imperial Father, please choose another one to take the position of the Vice Minister of Personnel.

Why? Isn't it a great thing that Pei Wenxuan is a vice minister now? Why reject the offer?

Imperial Father, I made a mistake.

- Please forgive me. - Speak.

In fact, I helped Pei Wenxuan in secret to secure his promotion.

How else could he become a vice minister, then?

But I wasn't going after the position of vice minister.

I only wanted him to become the sixth-ranked secretary of examinations.

You're saying someone's framing you by pushing Pei Wenxuan to be the Vice Minister of Personnel?

Yes.

Why would they do that?

Isn't it obvious? They want to drive a wedge between you and me.

How is appointing Pei Wenxuan as the Vice Minister of Personnel an act to create a divide between us?

Imperial Father, you asked me to establish the Inspectorate Office.

I solved many cases and gained more power.

If I used my power for my own good, then for both our country and people,

you would want to eradicate me.

It seems like the mastermind of this scheme harbors no good intentions.

Imperial Father, while I did make a mistake,

I couldn't bear it anymore.

I have had enough of the mockery.

Who dares to mock you?

After I was betrothed, I was mocked by my younger sisters in the palace.

Sister Huayue said that it's because Pei Wenxuan held a lowly background and was powerless

and you didn't like me, so you made me marry him.

Nonsense. Why would Huayue say such words?

Imperial Father, do you mean to say that Huayue wouldn't say that,

or that Huayue shouldn't have said it out loud?

Imperial Father, why do you think I'm so scared and came to see you in a hurry

to ask you to revoke the decision to make Pei Wenxuan the Vice Minister of Personnel?

Do you think it's only because he is too young?

In terms of age, Su Rongqing is also young.

How come he could be the Vice Minister of Justice,

and now, even get promoted to the Minister of Justice?

Yet my consort can't even be a vice minister.

However, I still had to come today.

I'm afraid if I hadnt, Imperial Father might believe that I was helping Pei Wenxuan in secret.

I am so scared.

I fear that you and I will drift apart.

What makes you think I'll do that?

Because I know... I'm not Sister Huayue.

- I am the daughter of the Shangguan Family. - You are my daughter.

But Sister Huayue said that you are suspicious of the Shangguan Family,

so you made me marry a commoner.

She's gone too far!

Pei Wenxuan was ranked first in the Royal Selection.

He is handsome and kind.

You don't know how excellent he is?

Of course, I know he is great.

I am just begging you, Imperial Father, to not doubt me.

I'm not that capable.

I did everything to seek justice.

I just hope my consort won't, because of me,

be denied even the position of a sixth-ranked official.

Imperial Father, please grant my request.

Allow me to think about this more.

You may leave now.

I will take my leave.

Your Majesty.

All of them are working very hard to read me.

And they are doing a remarkable job at it.

Pingyue was right.

When Pei Wenxuan was announced to be the Vice Minister of Personnel,

I indeed questioned their loyalty.

Your Majesty,

I believe someone else is orchestrating Official Pei's Vice Minister promotion.

- Send someone to investigate the truth for me. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness, a letter from the Northwest.

Is it from Zhenzhen?

Your Highness, it's been a while.

The distance between us is vast.

I wonder when you'll receive this letter.

Perhaps you'll receive it in March when swan geese are flying back to the north?

The soldiers in the Northwest believe that the returning swan geese

carry with them the yearning of their families.

When I lift my head to see them, I think of you and my family, far away in Huajing.

Thus, I named the sword you gave me Hongyu. (Swan goose feather)

I was like a swan goose's feather, carried by the wayward breeze.

Fortunately, I met you and Her Highness.

I was given the chance to take destiny into my own hands and pursue my ambition.

I hope this feather can convey my blessings and longings to you.

May this feather make you feel as if I were with you and this letter brightens your day.

Zhenzhen, I am sure we will meet again one day.

Hongyu.

Hush.

If I'm getting married, I definitely won't marry someone like Pei Wenxuan.

He's good for nothing except for his pretty face.

He's from a humble background and married Elder Sister.

Yet he couldn't even secure the position as the Secretary of Examinations.

Sister has been arrogant all her life.

Yet she married a man like that...

Imperial Father.

Your Majesty is here? Why did no one inform us of your arrival?

Is this the good daughter you raised?

She's a princess yet she's making mischief and talking behind others' backs.

It's all my fault for not disciplining her well.

Huayue, apologize to your father now.

Apologize?

Is she the one who should apologize?

Get out!

I'll take my leave, Imperial Father.

Everyone else should leave, too.

Your Majesty, Huayue is young and naive.

She must have picked up bad habits from people in the palace.

I was about to lecture her.

Was it your idea to let Pei Wenxuan be the Vice Minister of Personnel?

What do you mean, Your Majesty?

I keep myself in the harem most of the time.

How could I possibly decide on such an important matter?

Where did you hear these rumors, causing you to misunderstand me, Your Majesty?

Rumors?

I know very well what you're capable of.

If you weren't capable, how could a lowly person like you be where you are today?

I know it's because I'm lucky enough to earn your favor, Your Majesty.

But I truly have nothing to do with this.

Perhaps it is someone sowing discord?

Perhaps you can bring them here and have me confront them?

You still dare to pretend!

I can accept your plotting schemes.

I also allow you to pull dirty tricks in this harem.

But I absolutely will not tolerate you deceiving or taking advantage of me.

I can put you in this position and I can take it away from you just as easily.

I do not like liars.

Today's matter, I'll let you save face. I can let it go.

But, Xiao Rou, remember what you said to me back then.

You said you were willing to be my blade.

Don't forget who you are.

If one day, I realize that the blade is pointing at me,

I... will melt it.

I will remember that, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Xiao Pei, my family did send me an odorless, colorless and chronic drug, didn't they?

Yes, Your Highness.

You mean to...

Young Master! Your Highness!

Young Master! Young... Your Highness!

- Young Master. - What's the matter?

- Something bad happened. - What is it?

Daoist Hongde was summoned to the palace at night.

- And then? - What's the matter?

Your Highness, Daoist Hongde was summoned to the palace at night. I heard it was by Consort Rou.

In the palace, he put out an accusation against you.

He said that someone from our mansion said that

the crown prince's marriage must be postponed till five years later.

What?

His Majesty was initially infuriated and he wanted to summon you right away.

But the messenger, who was going to come out of the palace to convey the edict, was somehow brought back in.

Brought back in?

Anything else?

Nothing. Oh, wait!

I heard His Majesty wasn't going to look into this affair.

Leave the city and head to Qingshui County.

Find a laundrywoman called Tian Fang and give her 300 silver taels.

Tell her that her husband has been found. Tell her to bring her mother-in-law to Huajing to reunite with him.

- That much money? - Just go.

You're trying to take advantage of Hongde's scandal?

Yes. And it must be the kind that comes with solid evidence.

Did you talk to Hongde after you came back?

No.

Neither of us has talked to him.

So he was bought to falsely accuse us.

But with Consort Rou's capability, she isn't smart enough to devise this plan.
