00:00:00A 21st century female CEO 30 days as a deposed queen. Everyone wants to see me fail. They really underestimated
00:00:06me. Today, let everyone see the authority of a 21st century female CEO.
00:00:11Good morning, it's young!
00:00:18April! Clock in successful!
00:00:21Yay! Clock in successful!
00:00:23Benny! Clock in successful!
00:00:26Robin!
00:00:27Clock in successful!
00:00:33Security division! Catering division! Marketing division! Greet Miss Young!
00:00:39Everyone, good morning.
00:00:41Good! Very good! Today's work will be better!
00:00:45Young Enterprises has two rules. No random fines. No unpaid work. There will be no unjustly punished maids. Nor will
00:00:52there be unix. Stuck on the same pay. You get. What you earn. I see everything.
00:00:58All right!
00:01:00So what if I am a deposed queen? What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
00:01:05Outside the Cold Palace, Shadowguards use kites to send messages. No kite in sight, meaning the mission failed.
00:01:10Charles Jenkins, you play the loyal minister better than I play the fool.
00:01:13Your Majesty! Chief Steward, this old servant begs you, please come down! If anything happens to you, my head won't
00:01:20be enough!
00:01:22Richard Lee! You are annoying! Shut up!
00:01:25What?
00:01:29Isn't that the one I deposed? Charlotte Young?
00:01:31Edward!
00:01:32Mother and Queen! Your Majesty! Help me, Mother! Your Majesty!
00:01:34Queen Mother! Get down now! The ministers await your audience!
00:01:46I said, it doesn't matter if I go or not. They wanted me to depose her. I've done it. What
00:01:49more do they want?
00:01:50If you keep this up, people will point at your back, calling you a tyrant!
00:01:54Then, Mother Queen, why don't you depose me too? They just need a Lancaster on the throne. Anyone will do.
00:01:59You unfilial son! You! Richard Lee! Come here!
00:02:05Yes, Your Majesty!
00:02:08You!
00:02:10I'll have you bound and dragged to the Imperial Hall!
00:02:14Hey, Mother Queen! You're the Queen Mother! You must mind your image!
00:02:18You've shaved me enough!
00:02:20Image! When I meet your father, I'll have to hide!
00:02:34Your Grace, it is the King.
00:02:40The King? Edward Lancaster? The one who deposed me? That tyrant?
00:02:44Edward Lancaster! You unfilial son!
00:02:49Stop it!
00:02:58Let go of me! Let go!
00:03:00Charlotte! Young! How dare you lay hands on me! Are you insane?
00:03:08Surround him!
00:03:11Mother Queen! Save me!
00:03:13I think I know! Who can control the King?
00:03:22We're saved!
00:03:24The Grand Dominion is saved!
00:03:26Mother Queen! Charlotte Young is a venomous woman!
00:03:31Escort the King to the Imperial Hall!
00:03:34Take him away!
00:03:35Yes!
00:03:36Let go of me! Mother Queen, you can't do this!
00:03:38Let's go!
00:03:39Mother Queen!
00:03:40You mean, you want me out of here?
00:03:42To discipline the King?
00:03:44If you can help me discipline the King, name your price.
00:03:47I'll grant you anything.
00:03:49Once done, I want out.
00:03:52Charlotte Young, are you sure? That is the Queen's throne.
00:03:56The Queen is just the King's wife.
00:03:58But I, Charlotte Young, am just myself. Not anyone's Queen.
00:04:02Granted.
00:04:03Bring it.
00:04:04Hmm.
00:04:05This is the late King's rod.
00:04:08With it, you may discipline the King.
00:04:12I want you to clean up the harem and set the King straight.
00:04:16Hmm. Pinky promise.
00:04:18Within three months.
00:04:20The entire palace shall be as you wish.
00:04:32Mother Queen, did you really find the woman from that night?
00:04:36It is so late.
00:04:38Why is someone here?
00:04:40Who on earth hid the intel here?
00:04:43Do they think?
00:04:45I don't have enough eyes.
00:04:47I don't have enough eyes.
00:04:59Which palace is she from?
00:05:02How dare she?
00:05:05He is actually kinda cute.
00:05:10Who are you?
00:05:20Who is in there?
00:05:25What smells so bad?
00:05:36It is all because of you.
00:05:38Shut up.
00:05:38I don't want to talk to a primitive like you.
00:05:42Breaking into the royal kitchen is a capital crime.
00:05:45Are you crazy?
00:05:47Stealing food always comes back to you.
00:05:49Stay put.
00:05:52Who are you?
00:05:53How dare you break into the royal kitchen and make such a stench?
00:05:58You're...
00:05:58I wandered in by mistake.
00:06:00I'll go with you to face punishment.
00:06:08You're...
00:06:09There are people who would risk their lives to protect a stranger.
00:06:19What did she call it?
00:06:21Spicy rice noodle soup.
00:06:30How can something be this delicious?
00:06:33How can something be this delicious?
00:06:38How can something taste this good?
00:06:39Mother Queen, did you really find the woman from that night?
00:06:42She is waiting inside.
00:06:44Go on in.
00:07:09Is it her?
00:07:10From the night of the 20th of June.
00:07:12Why so many questions?
00:07:13Charlotte Young.
00:07:14It is you.
00:07:15Congratulations, your majesty.
00:07:17You've been played by capital.
00:07:18I won't hold today's matter against you.
00:07:20But you are here.
00:07:21All on your own.
00:07:22You sweet-talked my mother to get out of the cold palace.
00:07:24Charlotte Young.
00:07:25Do you really want to be my queen?
00:07:28Yes.
00:07:29I do.
00:07:32How dare you?
00:07:32Everyone in the palace knows.
00:07:34The king and I are back together.
00:07:36If I don't act out, wouldn't the harem laugh?
00:07:39My former queen was gentle and respectful.
00:07:42Even when deposed, she never fought back.
00:07:44Why have you suddenly changed so much?
00:07:48How did you get Mother's ruler?
00:07:51Listen up.
00:07:52From now on.
00:07:54Edward Lancaster.
00:07:56You are mine.
00:08:00Charlotte Young.
00:08:01You dare dictate to me, the king?
00:08:04The king is no exception.
00:08:06Besides, this is a family matter, not state affairs.
00:08:10You just want to be queen.
00:08:12So promise me.
00:08:13We'll stay out of each other's way.
00:08:15And I'll make you queen.
00:08:17The harem needs a scapegoat to provoke the Jenkins.
00:08:21A tyrant's queen never fares well.
00:08:24How dare you call me a tyrant?
00:08:26Are you?
00:08:28I am not.
00:08:30Then come here and sign it.
00:08:32We'll be known as the perfect royal couple.
00:08:37Charlotte Young.
00:08:38Monk.
00:08:38If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll ruin my plan.
00:08:44Since you are so kind, I can't possibly tarnish your name.
00:08:49Then I...
00:08:50Thank your majesty.
00:09:00Almost forgot to tell you.
00:09:02Don't sneak up on me.
00:09:04I have eyes in the back of my head.
00:09:10Charlotte Young.
00:09:11If I hadn't banished you to the cold palace, they'd have torn you to pieces.
00:09:14Now you repay kindness with evil.
00:09:17Abandoning your wife?
00:09:18Leading me on?
00:09:19You think you are right?
00:09:20Right.
00:09:21Guards!
00:09:22Drag this madwoman out!
00:09:25Where are they?
00:09:32Mother Queen!
00:09:33Charlotte Young is a venomous woman!
00:09:35She tried to kill me!
00:09:37My son.
00:09:38Mother Queen!
00:09:43My son.
00:09:44The Queen did it for your own good.
00:09:46Close the door.
00:09:47Hurry.
00:09:47Yes.
00:09:52Such a familiar feeling.
00:09:57No skipping court.
00:09:59No ignoring state affairs.
00:10:01No indulging in pleasure.
00:10:03No defying the Queen.
00:10:07Charlotte Young.
00:10:08You are crazy.
00:10:09You are crazy.
00:10:11No preguntsy.
00:10:19First, your long face, big head. She has a small face. Then, I'll draw you a big, big nose. Why
00:10:29is her nose so straight?
00:10:34Why stare at me? Something on my face. Read the papers.
00:10:37I must be crazy to think she is the one. Face mirrors heart. Heart is black. Beauty is just a
00:10:43trap.
00:10:44After work tonight, let's go to the royal kitchen and make some spicy rice noodle soup.
00:10:48Sit straight.
00:10:49Finish these today, or no one leaves.
00:10:53Tonight, Shadow Guard's intel on the Jenkins will reach the palace. Must escape soon.
00:11:00Charlotte Young! You've gone too far! I won't sign them! What can you do?
00:11:04Pick it up.
00:11:05You take me! For one of your lackeys! I won't. And I won't sign them.
00:11:12Charlotte Young! I am no tyrant! Just stay in the harem! As your queen! And for the past!
00:11:19I can let it go!
00:11:20But I can't!
00:11:22Edward Lagister! Three hours without a beating! And you are up to no good!
00:11:27Richard Lee!
00:11:27Get over here! Are you deaf? Protect me!
00:11:35Richard Lee! I knew it! You are the one! Most loyal!
00:11:40Your grace! Use this! Won't hurt!
00:11:43Richard Lee! You traitor!
00:11:51Your grace! Lady Jenkins! Request an audience!
00:11:53She brings soup for his majesty!
00:11:57What is she doing here? One woman isn't enough. I'll send her away.
00:12:01You! Stick it back the way you tore it. Finish pasting and reviewing. Then you can leave.
00:12:11Your majesty, I made you some soup. Peach, how do you think I did?
00:12:17Your grace did well. His majesty will love it.
00:12:20I think so, too. You stay here. I'll go see the king.
00:12:24Yes, your grace.
00:12:32Charlotte Young! I won't let you get away with this!
00:12:35Your majesty, I made you some soup, Charlotte Young.
00:12:40What are you doing here?
00:12:41Where I go is none of your concern.
00:12:44Move! I am going in to see the king!
00:12:47Charlotte Young! You are just a disgraced queen! How dare you block my path!
00:12:57If you don't know...
00:12:59How to greet the queen...
00:13:02Then learn it now.
00:13:05Lily.
00:13:09Lily.
00:13:10Show her grace the details.
00:13:13Lady Jenkins.
00:13:15Greets her majesty.
00:13:17Long live her majesty the queen.
00:13:20Lady Jenkins greets her majesty...
00:13:24One more thing.
00:13:26Her majesty! Long live the queen!
00:13:28Still not proficient enough.
00:13:30Lily, escort the noble consort back.
00:13:32Have her watched.
00:13:33Come back after a hundred practices.
00:13:34Yes.
00:13:39Stealing men isn't as fun as training dogs.
00:13:42Lady Cecilia's skills are not bad.
00:13:45Just a little worse than mine.
00:13:46You haven't tasted better.
00:13:49Chancellor supremacy.
00:13:50Royal power eclipsed.
00:13:52Courtly intrigue.
00:13:53You are lucky to be alive.
00:13:54She summed up my current situation in a few words.
00:13:57One sum.
00:13:58Should have said so.
00:14:00It's the last bite.
00:14:02She actually gave me her used spoon.
00:14:05Your grace!
00:14:06Lady Bella is here with pastries for the king!
00:14:10Huh?
00:14:13Your majesty!
00:14:17Anna!
00:14:20Your grace!
00:14:21Lady Grace!
00:14:27Lady Anna!
00:14:35Edward Lancaster!
00:14:38You are drowning in love deaths.
00:14:40Where is he?
00:14:41Your grace!
00:14:42The king said he is done.
00:14:44So, he left first.
00:14:46With so many concubines.
00:14:48Mismanage them.
00:14:49And work yourself to death.
00:14:51Richard Lee!
00:14:52Notify all palaces to meet at queen's residence tonight.
00:14:58Long live her majesty!
00:15:01Lady Jenkins pays homage to your grace.
00:15:03Long live her majesty!
00:15:0599.
00:15:06Lady Jenkins pays homage to your grace.
00:15:08Long live her majesty!
00:15:11100 times!
00:15:14Charlotte Young!
00:15:15The humiliation I suffered today!
00:15:17You shall repay a thousand fold!
00:15:19Your grace!
00:15:19The queen summons you!
00:15:21No way!
00:15:22Does Charlotte take me for a full?
00:15:23Even a full has time to drink!
00:15:25Her majesty said.
00:15:26The king will come.
00:15:27Hurry and dress me!
00:15:29Your majesty!
00:15:32Who says they lack ambition?
00:15:34At the news of Edward's visit, the harem is in full bloom.
00:15:37Take your seats.
00:15:46Fetch the king.
00:15:47Tell him to come to the queen's residence at once.
00:15:49Yes.
00:15:52All right, come.
00:15:54Let's start the meeting.
00:15:55I know times are tough.
00:15:57And the king ignores us.
00:15:59But you are all on the payroll.
00:16:01You must adjust your mindset.
00:16:04What happened at Harmony Hall today shall not happen again.
00:16:08Even noble-born concubines raised in elite families would be dazzled by 21st century empty promises.
00:16:13Your grace is mistaken.
00:16:15We enter the palace to bear heirs for the royal family.
00:16:19As concubines, our honor rests solely with the king.
00:16:24If she were in modern times, she'd be a capitalist, loved by all as a top-tier wage slave.
00:16:29I hope you all understand.
00:16:31Your honor lies in your own hands.
00:16:34You are all here today, not because of the king, not because of his love, but because of your families
00:16:39and your own efforts.
00:16:41You don't need the royal family.
00:16:43The royal family needs you.
00:16:45Right, she is right.
00:16:46Exactly.
00:16:47Whether the king favors me or not, I am still Lady Grace.
00:16:50Because behind me are the 36 northern clans.
00:16:52Whether the king comes or not, it doesn't affect my monthly stipend.
00:16:56You, have you all forgotten your virtues?
00:17:05Lady Cecilia sees it so clearly, yet why has she no heir?
00:17:10It makes me doubt her capabilities.
00:17:14You like Pua?
00:17:15Then I'll play along.
00:17:17It is the king who-
00:17:19Lady Cecilia, don't blame the environment.
00:17:22The king doesn't visit you, but he doesn't visit them either.
00:17:25The environment is fair to all.
00:17:28They don't have-
00:17:30Stop eyeing other palaces.
00:17:32Look for reasons within yourself.
00:17:35After all these years, have you developed your core strengths?
00:17:37Can you ensure that, after each selection, still stand out from the rest?
00:17:43Are you working hard to find innovative ways to the king's heart?
00:17:47Quick, write it all down.
00:17:52Am I really not trying hard enough?
00:17:55Back then, running an 800 person company was a breeze.
00:17:59Just a few concubines.
00:18:00It is like managing a small department.
00:18:03Your grace!
00:18:04Your grace, the king said.
00:18:07Even if she stands before me naked,
00:18:08I won't set foot in the queen's residence.
00:18:11I won't set foot in the queen's residence.
00:18:16Perfect.
00:18:20She-
00:18:20When she hit me before, she smiled like this!
00:18:27If you won't come to me, I'll come to you.
00:18:45Let me pour for your majesty.
00:18:49Well done.
00:18:54Your majesty, you won't go to the queen's residence.
00:18:56She is the queen.
00:18:57Won't you lose face?
00:18:58Face!
00:18:59I have long lost it.
00:19:01If she didn't control the court,
00:19:02I'd have found my true love.
00:19:04I won't go.
00:19:05Your majesty is so bold.
00:19:07I truly admire you.
00:19:08But I am not as bold as your majesty.
00:19:10My wife said.
00:19:10If I don't return by 9pm, I'll sleep on the floor.
00:19:13What?
00:19:13When did you become such a wimp?
00:19:15Just don't sleep with her.
00:19:16Don't you have a second bed?
00:19:17But I want to sleep with her.
00:19:18Your majesty has a harem.
00:19:19You wouldn't understand.
00:19:22I really must go.
00:19:23Drink another day.
00:19:25Pathetic.
00:19:26Let's drink.
00:19:31Will the queen find us here?
00:19:33If she dares come,
00:19:35I'll make her know
00:19:36who truly rules the imperial palace.
00:19:39That is the true king of the grand dominion.
00:19:41Just oppose her again.
00:19:42See if she dares act up.
00:19:44Come on.
00:19:45Let's drink till we drop.
00:19:50Cheers!
00:19:56Your majesty!
00:19:57It is bad!
00:19:58The queen is here!
00:19:59What?
00:20:07Let go!
00:20:09Master of the palace, your majesty.
00:20:11Yes!
00:20:11Am I afraid of her?
00:20:13I am afraid!
00:20:14She won't come let the music play on!
00:20:17Your majesty,
00:20:18I have an idea.
00:20:22Your grace.
00:20:23I'll go knock now.
00:20:25No need.
00:20:32Come.
00:20:37Oh, see!
00:20:37Oh, see!
00:20:57Your majesty.
00:20:59Why don't you...
00:21:00Return to the queen's residence.
00:21:02Your majesty.
00:21:03My wife is waiting for me.
00:21:05I'll take my leave.
00:21:07You!
00:21:07All of you!
00:21:15Darlet!
00:21:17Give up on this!
00:21:18I'd rather stay with them all night
00:21:20than enter your...
00:21:24All of you, leave.
00:21:25Yes, your grace.
00:21:28Well.
00:21:33Let's play.
00:21:35Winner decides the loser's fate.
00:21:36How about it?
00:21:40Charles has spies everywhere.
00:21:43Looks like...
00:21:44I have to play along.
00:21:46All right.
00:21:48Bring it on!
00:21:49I was rolling dice.
00:21:51Before you were born.
00:21:59If we're playing, let's make it interesting.
00:22:02Your call.
00:22:03I won't be the one losing.
00:22:04Loser drinks first round.
00:22:05One shot.
00:22:06Second round.
00:22:07Two shots.
00:22:07And so on.
00:22:08Each subsequent round.
00:22:09Double the shots.
00:22:10First to pass out loses.
00:22:11Don't get drunk later.
00:22:13Begging me to take you back.
00:22:15So grace, let's just call it off.
00:22:17Your majesty, putting aside.
00:22:19His dice rolling skills are second to none.
00:22:22You three can be a team.
00:22:25Charlotte, who are you mocking?
00:22:27If you dare, let's raise the stakes.
00:22:29Lose the round.
00:22:30Lose the lair.
00:22:31Your majesty, this isn't this too much?
00:22:33Her grace is a woman after all.
00:22:34It is just a drinking game.
00:22:35Back in my business dinners, when I wined and dined,
00:22:38this playboy king was still on his mother's milk.
00:22:40All right.
00:22:41Let's start.
00:22:45Your majesty, twenty-four.
00:22:48Your grace, five ones, five points.
00:22:52Charlotte Young, you dare gamble with luck like that?
00:22:58Take a seat.
00:23:04Second round.
00:23:06Two shots.
00:23:13Twenty-six.
00:23:17Five twos.
00:23:18Ten points.
00:23:19I lost again.
00:23:20I suggest you concede now.
00:23:25Five ones again.
00:23:27Five twos now.
00:23:28Is the queen really that unlucky?
00:23:30Five twos.
00:23:32Five twos.
00:23:38Before we open, I'll let you roll again.
00:23:42After all, this round is...
00:23:44Four shots.
00:23:50Again, her grace loses.
00:23:56enough
00:23:57charlotte

00:32:21as chancellor
00:32:22it is not enough
00:32:22to just report work
00:32:23you need systematic thinking
