Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Lady Shen of the Murong residence, virtuous and prudent by nature, diligent and gentle, is hereby bestowed the title of
00:00:06first rank imperial noble lady.
00:00:08I humbly thank your majesty for this grace.
00:00:11Shen Yun King, receive the decree.
00:00:21Murder, help! Help!
00:00:32Sister.
00:00:33Why?
00:00:34Don't call me sister. You don't deserve to.
00:00:39We're both Shen daughters. Why should you have it better than me?
00:00:42If only three years ago, the one who caught my ball had been Murong on.
00:00:46The bliss you cling to is nothing but an illusion.
00:00:51Shen Yun King, die!
00:01:01If I could have one more chance, I would give up all this glory.
00:01:07What time do you think it is? Still sleeping.
00:01:10You, master, young lords from noble families heard the Shen girls are choosing husbands and have all come to catch
00:01:16the ball.
00:01:17Look at young king, still sleeping. Not an ounce of propriety befitting a young lady.
00:01:21Listen to me. When you and Chao are through, you'd better aim well.
00:01:25Whoever marries best will be the Shen family's pride. Don't you dare disappoint me.
00:01:32Wasn't I just stabbed by a sword?
00:01:41This is rebirth. I've returned to three years ago, the day of the ball toss ceremony.
00:01:47Miss, it's your turn to throw the ball.
00:01:52Shen Yun King.
00:01:54Sister, why don't I go first?
00:01:55In my past life, Shen Yun-Kiao insisted I throw first, deferring again and again.
00:02:01But now...
00:02:02It seems Shen Yun-Kiao has also been reborn.
00:02:05Fine, go ahead.
00:02:07To me, to me, to me, to me!
00:02:08Over here, over here!
00:02:09Miss Shen, over here, over here!
00:02:11To me!
00:02:12Get lost, all of you, get lost!
00:02:24Get lost!
00:02:29Master, look!
00:02:30The one who caught it is the Murong's second young master.
00:02:33It's him!
00:02:34It's Murong An, second son of Murong.
00:02:35The Murongs are distant kin to royalty.
00:02:38The eldest son, Murong He, just days ago, was appointed deputy minister of justice.
00:02:43If the Shen family could marry into the Murongs, we'd practically be royalty ourselves.
00:02:47Murong An.
00:02:49In this life, I finally changed my fate.
00:02:52In three years, Murong An will rise in rank and title, and I will become a noble imperial lady.
00:02:57Shen Yun-Kiao, oh Shen Yun-Kiao, you scheme so hard, that you don't know you've walked straight into a
00:03:02wolf's den.
00:03:06Wonderful, wonderful!
00:03:07Chowar is truly a daughter I raised myself.
00:03:10She brings honor to the Shen family.
00:03:12You flatter me, father.
00:03:13I only wish to do right by our family.
00:03:15Once I become Lady Murong, I shall watch my every word and deed and bring prosperity to our family.
00:03:20Sister, don't you agree?
00:03:23How fortunate for you, sister.
00:03:25I'm truly happy for you.
00:03:26Shen Yun-King, your good fortune has been stolen by me.
00:03:29In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:35Chowar, look!
00:03:36Young Master Murong can hardly take his eyes off you.
00:03:48Isn't that...
00:03:49The Emperor?
00:03:51Your Majesty, dress like this outside.
00:03:54If the Dowager Empress finds out...
00:03:56She nags me daily to pick a concert.
00:03:57I had no choice but to slip out for some peace.
00:03:59It's a good chance to see the life of common folk.
00:04:02Your Majesty has always been a devoted ruler, but dress like this.
00:04:05Shabby as these clothes are.
00:04:07They help me blend in unnoticed.
00:04:09Would you rather I stroll through the streets in my dragon robe?
00:04:19Your Majesty, are you alright?
00:04:21Watch it, you filthy beggar!
00:04:22Hurry!
00:04:22Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today.
00:04:24We'll miss it if we're late.
00:04:26Choosing a husband?
00:04:27Come on, let's go have a look.
00:04:29In my past life, that beggar snatched my ball.
00:04:31After I fled that marriage, I suffered endlessly.
00:04:34How fitting!
00:04:35This time, I'll make you taste the bitterness of being cast aside by your own kin.
00:04:41Go now.
00:04:41Do as I told you.
00:04:42Understood, second miss.
00:04:44What are they up to?
00:04:45Now that our Shen family has secured ties with the Murong residents,
00:04:49when Shen Yunqing chooses her husband shortly, she'd better not disappoint.
00:04:53Mother, what kind of thing is that to say?
00:04:55Sister has always been lucky.
00:04:57How could she possibly embarrass father?
00:04:59If you ask me, sister will surely find the finest husband of all.
00:05:02Shen Yunqing, your sister's marriage is as good as settled now.
00:05:05We already have one with power, so you'd better find one with wealth.
00:05:08Only then will you be worthy of being a daughter of Shen Zhao.
00:05:14Miss, it's your turn.
00:05:15Schemes and plots, gold and silver treasures, are all but passing clouds and drifting smoke.
00:05:21In this life, I only wish to find a good and true companion and live out my days in peace.
00:05:26Your Majesty!
00:05:27Miss Shen threw it to me!
00:05:30Get lost!
00:05:43It's him.
00:05:44In my past life, he was the one who caught Shen Yunqing's embroidered ball.
00:05:48Oh my!
00:05:49A perfectly good embroidered ball!
00:05:51Snatched away by a beggar!
00:05:52Sister, what rotten luck you have!
00:05:54Of all people, you picked a beggar!
00:05:56Who knows which deity you've offended?
00:05:58Where does that leave father's reputation?
00:06:01Useless girl!
00:06:02With all those men below, you had to throw it to a beggar!
00:06:04Now everyone in Shangjing is laughing at us!
00:06:06Are you trying to humiliate me?
00:06:08My lord!
00:06:09At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murongs.
00:06:13Otherwise, the Shen family would truly be disgraced today.
00:06:16How would we ever show our faces again?
00:06:18What's done is done.
00:06:19Sister, don't be too upset.
00:06:21Though this beggar is lowborn, at least his face is passable.
00:06:24I just feel sorry for you, sister.
00:06:26Sister, spoiled since childhood, now marrying a beggar.
00:06:30Marriage is a woman's greatest path in life.
00:06:32You chose a beggar.
00:06:33From now on, you'll sleep under the sky.
00:06:36The Shens can't help you.
00:06:37Oh my, this is going to be quite a show.
00:06:39The Shen family's eldest actually marrying a beggar?
00:06:42Everyone's watching.
00:06:43If she refuses, the Shens broke their word.
00:06:45Who would ever deal with the Shen family again?
00:06:47Exactly.
00:06:48Let's see what the Shens do.
00:06:50Hey, where are you going?
00:06:51Stop her!
00:06:52Don't let her run off!
00:06:52My lord, I finally found you!
00:06:56My heavens!
00:06:57Why is the embroidered ball in your hands?
00:07:00Perhaps you should just toss it away.
00:07:02Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners.
00:07:05We mustn't break the customs of the people.
00:07:07Besides, dressed as shabbily as I am, she certainly won't want to marry me.
00:07:24Sister, in such a rush to meet your perfect match?
00:07:28You threw the embroidered ball yourself.
00:07:30You chose the man yourself.
00:07:32Don't tell me you're having regrets.
00:07:33You wretched girl!
00:07:34Look at the beggar you drew in!
00:07:36If he becomes our son-in-law, you'd be trampling our entire family's honor beneath your feet!
00:07:40In my past life, I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to court the
00:07:45powerful.
00:07:46Looking back now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live in peace.
00:07:50The rule of the ball toss is that whoever catches it is chosen, even if you refuse now.
00:07:55I am willing to marry him!
00:07:57I am willing to marry him!
00:07:59I am willing to marry him!
00:08:04Jesus!
00:08:05My name is Shen Yun-King.
00:08:08What's yours?
00:08:08I, my name is Chi-Yu.
00:08:14Today, with all of you as witnesses, I, Shen Yun-King, am willing to marry Chi-Yu as his wife.
00:08:24You truly want to marry me?
00:08:26Of course.
00:08:27You already caught my embroidered ball.
00:08:30Would you go back on your word?
00:08:32No, it's not that.
00:08:33It's just that I have nothing.
00:08:35If you marry me, you'll have no proper home, barely enough to eat.
00:08:39Would you still agree?
00:08:40We both have two hands and two feet.
00:08:42What we want, we can build for ourselves.
00:08:44If we work hard in the future and find honest work, making a living won't be hard.
00:08:48Palace people would resort to anything for the smallest gain.
00:08:51She's unlike anyone I've met.
00:08:53Someone so easily content.
00:08:55A filthy beggar.
00:08:55And she actually treats him like a treasure.
00:08:58Shen Yun-King, you'd better think this through.
00:09:00Marrying a beggar means ruining your own future.
00:09:03A future isn't built on status alone, but on character and virtue.
00:09:07Chi-Yu may be dressed plainly, but he seems approachable, well-mannered, and may well make a fine match.
00:09:13You, the rules of the embroidered ball toss have already been set.
00:09:17But even if Master Shen wishes to go back on his word now, it's too late.
00:09:21That's right.
00:09:22If he refuses, not only would it break our customs, it would tarnish the Shen name.
00:09:28Since you've chosen to marry down, don't ever blame the Shen family for it.
00:09:33The Shen family's future glory will have nothing to do with you.
00:09:36I understand, Father.
00:09:38All right, everyone, move along.
00:09:40Always crowding around for a spectacle.
00:09:42Honestly.
00:09:43The show's over.
00:09:44Time to go home.
00:09:45Young Master Murong!
00:09:47Young Master Murong, please wait!
00:09:49Young Master Murong, would you kindly come to the Shen residence to discuss the wedding?
00:09:56Let's go.
00:09:57Right this way, please.
00:09:59Sister, don't say I didn't warn you.
00:10:01Marrying a beggar for the rest of your life, you'll forever be beneath me.
00:10:05Perhaps you should worry about yourself first.
00:10:08Life at the Murong residence won't be as easy as you imagine.
00:10:19You...
00:10:20Make way!
00:10:20Make way!
00:10:21Make way!
00:10:37Oh, heavens, are you all right?
00:10:39Are you hurt anywhere?
00:10:41I'm fine.
00:10:42See?
00:10:42I'm perfectly all right.
00:10:43I'm so sorry.
00:10:44I'm truly sorry.
00:10:45It wasn't on purpose.
00:10:46Be careful next time.
00:10:47Will do.
00:10:48To marry someone so gentle and kind-hearted, that is my good fortune in this life.
00:10:52In three days, come to the Shen residence for me.
00:10:55Back at the palace, Mother would force me to choose a consort.
00:10:58So why not?
00:11:00Very well.
00:11:01I'll be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today.
00:11:09Her dowry includes gold inlaid gemstones, phoenix hairpins, a pair, one EC pearl flower crown,
00:11:17a pair of jade bracelets, 20 bolts of shoe brocade, and three land deeds for silk shops in the east
00:11:24of the city.
00:11:26The second Miss Shen's dowry is worth a fortune, yet the eldest Miss Shen got nothing at all.
00:11:31Both daughters of the Shen family want a stark difference.
00:11:34Haven't you heard?
00:11:35The second Miss Shen is marrying the Murong residence's second young master,
00:11:39while the eldest Miss Shen is marrying a beggar.
00:11:41How could they be treated the same?
00:11:42If my sister truly marries a beggar, she'll toil for the rest of her life.
00:11:47I wonder if she'll adapt.
00:11:49The groom is here!
00:11:53Worthy of the Murong's second young master.
00:11:55What a grand procession.
00:11:57The Murong residence holds immense power.
00:11:59Once the second Miss Shen marries in, she'll live in endless luxury.
00:12:03But Shen Yun-King, marrying the beggar, that'll be quite a spectacle.
00:12:07Here we come!
00:12:14Greetings, father and mother.
00:12:16Rise, rise, son-in-law.
00:12:18This bridal procession of yours is a rare spectacle in all of Shang-Ching.
00:12:23That shower is so valued by you as an honor for our Shen family.
00:12:27Young master Murong has arrived, yet there's no sign of the other groom.
00:12:30If I were him, I'd bury myself underground and never show my face.
00:12:34Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly past.
00:12:37Your husband still hasn't come for you.
00:12:39Perhaps he doesn't intend to come at all.
00:12:41He's here! He's here! The groom is here!
00:12:48You finally came.
00:12:49What I promised you, I will fulfill.
00:12:56We-
00:13:00I'm terribly sorry for arriving late.
00:13:02What on earth are you wearing?
00:13:04Before all these guests, you're making me lose face!
00:13:07Today is her wedding day, after all.
00:13:08And this beggar shows up dressed like this to claim his bride.
00:13:12How can my sister not find this humiliating?
00:13:15Marriage is a lifelong matter.
00:13:17What matters is sincerity, not appearances.
00:13:20The one I, Shen Yun-King, have chosen will never be swayed by others' words.
00:13:24Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:13:26Don't be angry, master.
00:13:27Once Yun-King leaves, she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family.
00:13:30The auspicious hour has come.
00:13:32The bride may board the sedan.
00:13:38Minister Zhang has arrived!
00:13:43You're much!
00:13:44Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:47What an honor to have Minister Zhang grace us with his presence.
00:13:50Pardon us.
00:13:51Heaven rewards the devoted.
00:13:53It truly does.
00:13:54Congratulations, Master Shen.
00:13:56Thank you, thank you.
00:13:57Minister Zhang, please come inside.
00:14:00After you, bridegroom.
00:14:02The groom goes first.
00:14:03After you, please.
00:14:07Don't tell me you walked here on foot.
00:14:10On a wedding day, no bride has ever walked to her husband's home.
00:14:13Well, today is certainly an eye-opener.
00:14:16Indeed, unlike my husband.
00:14:26My lady, let's go home.
00:14:48Shen Yun-King, once I'm an imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
00:14:52Do it.
00:15:03So this is where you live.
00:15:06Hmm.

00:17:24This bed is too hard.
00:17:53The charms I'm making for my parents need a few more stitches.
00:17:56I need to buy some thread before we head back.
00:17:58Then I'll go with you.
00:18:00Alright.
00:18:07Greetings, your majesty.
00:18:09Your majesty.

00:18:22Is he ill?
00:18:24Your majesty?
00:18:24Oh, there's plenty of dirt around here.
00:18:26No need for such a beau, friend.
00:18:28Yuan Lu.
00:18:28What are you doing?
00:18:30Are you alright?
00:18:31I'm fine.
00:18:32Don't worry.
00:18:33They are.
00:18:34The palace is complicated.
00:18:36Once it's settled, I'll tell Yuan Qing who I am.
00:18:38Oh, they.
00:18:39They're here looking for Yuan Lu.
00:18:41Oh, right.
00:18:41My friends.
00:18:42They're here for me.
00:18:43I used to serve at the palace.
00:18:45We're all old friends.
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:48Shen Yuan Qing.
00:18:49Let me help Yuan Lu with the guests.
00:18:51Can you buy the thread yourself?
00:18:52Alright.
00:18:58Greetings, your majesty.
00:19:00Tell me.
00:19:01What happened?
00:19:02Word came from the palace.
00:19:03The Dowager Empress worried over you, overtaxed herself, and suddenly fainted.
00:19:07What?
00:19:08Yuan Lu, stay and protect Yuan Qing.
00:19:10Yes, sire.
00:19:11The rest of you, return to the palace with me.
00:19:17Also, have someone select fine gifts and send them to the Shen residence.
00:19:20As Yuan Qing's homecoming gifts.
00:19:23Yes, sire.
00:19:24Let's go.
00:19:25Hot buns.
00:19:26Come and get them.
00:19:27Come have a look.
00:19:28Good deals on fine goods.
00:19:30Come have a look.
00:19:31Che Yu is home entertaining guests.
00:19:33I'd better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:36Father never approved of Che Yu's status.
00:19:38I'd only be humiliated if I went back.
00:19:40I'll just go on my own.
00:19:49They're family after all.
00:19:51No matter how painful, I still have to face them.
00:19:54Let's go in.
00:19:55Father, your daughter is home.
00:19:58Father, your daughter is home.
00:20:02Father.
00:20:03Father.
00:20:05Why did you come back alone, sister?
00:20:11Today is the bridal homecoming.
00:20:13Why did you come back alone, sister?
00:20:14Could it be?
00:20:15You're afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you.
00:20:18So you wouldn't even let him come back with you.
00:20:21My husband had matters to tend to.
00:20:24Shen Yun Qing, married to a beggar.
00:20:26You must have suffered quite a bit.
00:20:28You've grown so thin.
00:20:29If you hadn't married that filthy beggar, I might have taken you as a concubine.
00:20:33At least you wouldn't have fallen this low.
00:20:36Wretch!
00:20:37My husband doesn't know, but my sister has always enjoyed keeping you company of low-lifes.
00:20:42If you brought her to our Murong residence, she might not even feel at home.
00:20:46You needn't trouble yourself.
00:20:48I'm doing just fine.
00:20:49But you, dear sister, these days, I doubt you've even seen your own husband.
00:20:53You!
00:20:55Damn you, Murong An.
00:20:57On our wedding night, he went to the pleasure houses, and everyone found out about it.
00:21:01He humiliated me completely.
00:21:04Chowar!
00:21:12Mother, greetings, father.
00:21:14Greetings, mother.
00:21:15You came back alone, and you have the nerve to show your face?
00:21:18It hasn't been long, and you've forgotten all the manners we taught you?
00:21:21A man as distinguished as young master Murong escorted Chowar home for the visit.
00:21:25Your husband, who knows what he's busy with, couldn't even accompany you.
00:21:29Mother, don't flatter her.
00:21:30Mother, that filthy beggar is probably out on the streets begging right now.
00:21:34Father-in-law, your son-in-law has prepared some gifts.
00:21:37Bring them in.
00:21:40For our son-in-law to visit in person, that alone is an honor for me.
00:21:44And to bring all these gifts, too.
00:21:46Carry them inside at once.
00:21:48My daughter marrying our son-in-law is a blessing of eight lifetimes.
00:21:51Unlike certain people who chose a beggar for a husband.
00:21:53But let's not speak of it.
00:21:55The Shen family raised you all these years, and you plan to come back empty-handed?
00:21:58Indeed, sister.
00:21:59Don't tell me you're truly this destitute that you can't even prepare a homecoming gift.
00:22:05Of course not.
00:22:08These are charms I embroidered for father and mother.
00:22:12I pray that father and mother will have peace and safety.
00:22:21Get out!
00:22:22What a disgraceful thing!
00:22:24Sister, what on earth did you embroider?
00:22:26A trinket sewn from scrap cloth, and you dare show it off to embarrass yourself?
00:22:31Truly worthy of a beggar's wife, even the gifts you present are a perfect match.
00:22:37Never mind, never mind.
00:22:38She married a beggar, after all.
00:22:40What could you expect her to bring?
00:22:42Master! Master!
00:22:43The palace has sent gifts.
00:22:44They say they're homecoming gifts from the eldest miss.
00:22:47What?
00:22:57Master Shen!
00:22:58Congratulations!
00:22:59Your eldest daughter has caught the eye of some powerful patron.
00:23:02They had someone from the palace arrange for me personally to deliver these gifts to you.
00:23:06Shopkeeper Liu!
00:23:07The palace truly sent you to deliver these?
00:23:10The chief eunuch himself came to arrange it all.
00:23:12How could it be false?
00:23:14They said it was for the Shen family's eldest daughter.
00:23:18You must be mistaken.
00:23:20All of Shang Jing knows that Shen Yunqing married a beggar.
00:23:22Unlike our Murong son-in-law, whose brother is Deputy Justice.
00:23:25The palace sent these out of regard for our Murong son-in-law.
00:23:28That's why, those currying favor with us are countless.
00:23:31To think even the palace took notice.
00:23:35Those currying favor with us are countless.
00:23:37Father-in-law, please accept these.
00:23:40Our Chao are truly married a fine husband.
00:23:42Such a grand homecoming and all these precious gifts.
00:23:45They truly bring honor to our Shen family.
00:23:47But I recall being told these gifts were for Shen Yunqing.
00:23:50Thank you, Shopkeeper.
00:23:51Sorry for the trouble.
00:23:53They're for the Shen family.
00:23:55No mistake there.
00:23:56I must have been mistaken.
00:23:57They're for second miss.
00:23:58Then I shall take my leave.
00:24:01Carry everything inside for me.
00:24:05Sister, my husband sent homecoming gifts twice over.
00:24:08Looking at all this, don't you feel the least bit ashamed?
00:24:13Gifts need not be many.
00:24:14Sincerity is what matters.
00:24:15I see nothing wrong with it.
00:24:17Have you no thought for our family reputation?
00:24:19Or father's dignity?
00:24:21I poured everything into raising you.
00:24:23And what do you do?
00:24:25The eldest daughter of the Shen family
00:24:27not only married a beggar,
00:24:28but now you bring back this worthless rubbish to disgust me.
00:24:31Don't bother coming back from now on.
00:24:33The Shen family has no room for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:24:42Fine.
00:24:42I'll leave then.
00:24:44Take care of yourself.
00:24:46I'll come visit another day.
00:24:49In my past life,
00:24:51because of that wretched beggar,
00:24:52I suffered endlessly.
00:24:54Why should Shen Yunqing get to leave so easily?
00:24:57Father, look.
00:24:58She actually intends to leave without a word.
00:25:00How utterly improper.
00:25:02Indeed, master.
00:25:03You mustn't let her go so easily.
00:25:04Lest people start gossiping behind our backs,
00:25:07saying the Shen family has no discipline.
00:25:09Stop!
00:25:11You think you can come and go as you please?
00:25:14What do you take the Shen residence for?
00:25:17In your eyes,
00:25:18everything I do is wrong anyway.
00:25:20I might as well leave
00:25:21so I'm no longer an eyesore to certain people.
00:25:23You want to leave?
00:25:24Fine.
00:25:25Unless you no-tow your way around
00:25:27all of Vermillion Bird Street on your knees,
00:25:29telling everyone that you married a beggar
00:25:31and brought shame upon the Shen family.
00:25:35And that you willingly choose
00:25:37to sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:25:44Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:46Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:48Mother,
00:25:50didn't she faint?
00:25:52Could it be that she...
00:25:55So you still remember I'm your mother?
00:25:57All I asked was for you to choose a consort.
00:26:00Was that so hard for you?
00:26:01As the emperor,
00:26:02you dared sneak out and cause trouble.
00:26:04The consort selection?
00:26:05You may decide, mother,
00:26:07since you are well.
00:26:08I'll take my lead.
00:26:09You!
00:26:12Your majesty,
00:26:13the memorials have been piling up for days.
00:26:15If you delay any further,
00:26:16urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:17Please put state affairs first, your majesty.
00:26:20After reviewing them,
00:26:21you can still reach Shen residence in time.
00:26:24To the imperial study,
00:26:26Tao always thinks things through.
00:26:28Do as your sister says.
00:26:31Just because I married Chi Yu,
00:26:33you all have to humiliate me like this?
00:26:35You came home with no one to accompany you,
00:26:37no gifts to present.
00:26:39Asking you to pay respects is hardly unreasonable.
00:26:42Your sister thought of the Shen family,
00:26:44unlike you,
00:26:45who married a beggar and disgraced our family.
00:26:47What dignity?
00:26:48Only because Yun-Kyao married into a wealthy family
00:26:51that you indulge her so.
00:26:53Insolent wretch!
00:26:54Have I been too lenient with you?
00:26:56These outrageous words,
00:26:57who taught you to say them?
00:26:59Am I wrong?
00:27:01In your heart,
00:27:03daughters are merely pawns
00:27:04to curry favor with the powerful.
00:27:06How dare you,
00:27:07speaking to your father like that!
00:27:12The Dragon Jade Pendon!
00:27:18No, I must inform his majesty at once!
00:27:23Give back my Jade Pendant!
00:27:26This Jade Pendant is of fine quality!
00:27:29Did you steal it from somewhere, sister?
00:27:31Chi Yu gave me this pendant!
00:27:32Give it back now!
00:27:33That filthy beggar!
00:27:35Then it's even less likely to be his!
00:27:37He must have stolen it from somewhere!
00:27:40A Dragon Emblazoned Pendant!
00:27:41How could it possibly appear here?
00:27:43Turns out I was mistaken.
00:27:45Chi Yu may not match your noble birth!
00:27:47Just because you own pendants as a matter of course,
00:27:50does that mean Chi Yu is unworthy?
00:27:52Hmph!
00:27:53Guarding a beggar's trinket as though it were precious!
00:27:56Come to think of it,
00:27:57how strange!
00:27:58You've been out here for so long,
00:27:59yet your husband hasn't come looking for you!
00:28:02He doesn't seem to care, does he?
00:28:06Give me back the pendant!
00:28:08You can have it back!
00:28:09But first you must sever all ties with the Shen family!
00:28:13You father!
00:28:14Will you let Shen Yun-Kiao behave so brazenly?
00:28:16I am your daughter too!
00:28:18You insisted on marrying a beggar
00:28:20and brought shame upon the Shen family!
00:28:22From now on,
00:28:24I, Shen Zhao,
00:28:25have only one daughter,
00:28:26and that is Xiao Wei!
00:28:32All I ask in this life is to be with someone sincere!
00:28:36Even plain meals and simple living
00:28:38are better than enduring scorn in the Shen family!
00:28:43Very well then!
00:28:45From this day forward,
00:28:49I, Shen Yun-King,
00:28:50sever all ties with the Shen family!
00:28:52We are strangers henceforth!
00:28:59For the sake of a filthy beggar,
00:29:01you choose to cut ties!
00:29:03Good thing the Shen family never counted on you!
00:29:07Isn't that what you think, father?
00:29:08Why should I stay and suffer in the Shen family?
00:29:11You!
00:29:14Give me the pendant!
00:29:16Not so easy!
00:29:18Someone,
00:29:18bring the burning coals from the kitchen
00:29:20and lay them on the ground!
00:29:21What are you doing?
00:29:29Greetings, your majesty!
00:29:32Who sent you here?
00:29:33I am the daughter of the Grand Chancellor Zhao Shun,
00:29:36Xiao Waner.
00:29:37The Dowager Empress sent me to attend to your majesty.
00:29:40I have state affairs to attend to.
00:29:42Leave.
00:29:43Your majesty,
00:29:44something terrible has happened!
00:29:46Her ladyship is at the Shen's!
00:29:48At the Shen's!
00:29:49What happened there?
00:29:51What is it?
00:29:52Speak!
00:29:53During her homecoming visit,
00:29:54the Shens mistreated her.
00:29:56They forced her ladyship to kneel.
00:29:58What?
00:30:00Please calm down, sire!
00:30:01Summon my men!
00:30:02Call the Shadow Guards
00:30:03and come with me to Shen residence!
00:30:05Sire, where are you going?
00:30:07The Dowager Empress said.
00:30:16Yah!
00:30:17Yah!
00:30:21Our body, hair, and skin are gifts from our parents.
00:30:24If you wish to sever ties,
00:30:26you must first repay the debt you owe them.
00:30:29Walk across and your wish shall be granted.
00:30:32No!
00:30:32The coals are burning so fiercely,
00:30:34anyone who steps on them would never survive.
00:30:37I won't do it!
00:30:38Oh?
00:30:38It seems Elder Sister no longer wants the Jade Pendant.
00:30:42Don't throw it!
00:30:46Kiyu is the only person who ever truly cared for me.
00:30:49That pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:30:51I won't let his gift be desecrated.
00:30:55Fine.
00:30:56I'll walk.
00:31:23I'll walk.
00:31:28A worthless Jade Pendant is enough for a pampered young lady to walk through hot coals.
00:31:33No wonder she'd marry a beggar.
00:31:36After all, a beggar has nothing of value to offer.
00:31:38No wonder Elder Sister treasures it so.
00:31:42I don't have much to offer you now.
00:31:44This Jade Pendant was my father's last gift to me.
00:31:47Now I give it to you.
00:31:56To you.
00:31:57I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:11She actually made it through.
00:32:19Now, can you return the Jade Pendant to me?
00:32:22You want it?
00:32:23Then you'll have to get it yourself.
00:32:25If you dare take it.
00:32:28This Jade Pendant is yours.
00:32:45She really does treasure it.
00:33:11You cherish so dearly your bond with that filthy beggar.
00:33:17If your face were ruined, would your beloved husband still want you?
00:33:22You!
00:33:22What are you doing glaring at me like that?
00:33:25I warned you long ago.
00:33:26Marrying a beggar leads to one fate being trampled underfoot.
00:33:30All you're scheming to torment me.
00:33:33Will it truly get you what you want?
00:33:40What I want is for you to spend the rest of your life hiding in the gutter.
00:33:45Like a rex.
00:33:46Watching me become the most exalted woman in this world.
00:33:55Master!
00:33:56Master!
00:33:56His Majesty is here!
00:33:58What did you say?
00:33:59His Majesty!
00:34:15His Majesty!
00:34:17Shen Yunqing!
00:34:27To you!
00:34:29Your majesty!
00:34:35Shen Yun King. Shen Yun King, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:34:39Chi Yu, I didn't lose the jade pendant you gave me.
00:34:47Wasn't it supposed to be the emperor? How can it be him?
00:34:51That filthy beggar can actually afford such lavish clothes.
00:34:55And these men, aren't they palace guards? Why would they follow a beggar?
00:35:00Mother, I heard that beggar's brother once held a post in the palace.
00:35:03How hard could it be to steal a few outfits?
00:35:05This beggar must be here because he lost face at the wedding last time and wants to save face.
00:35:10I heard there have been thefts in the palace. Could they be the ones behind it?
00:35:15What a joke! A filthy beggar dares put on a show at our Shen residence!
00:35:19Sister, look at the fine husband you chose.
00:35:22Being useless is one thing, but now to save face, he has the audacity to steal from the imperial palace.
00:35:28If the emperor finds out, will you even survive?
00:35:31Incorrigible fool, you're courting death.
00:35:37What? What are you gonna do?
00:35:40Shen Yun King was wrong.
00:35:41It hurts.
00:35:53Who did this?
00:35:54It was me.
00:35:55So what?
00:35:56I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:35:58Who would have thought she'd walk barefoot over hot coals just for some worthless jade pendant?
00:36:03I can't fathom what goes on in that head of hers.
00:36:06Oddly stupid.
00:36:07Shut your mouth!
00:36:08Who do you think you are to shriek and holler before me?
00:36:11So what if I berate her?
00:36:13She's the one who married a useless wretch like you.
00:36:15Compared to me, Shen Yun King, you're nothing but ants.
00:36:19Even if I wanted her dead today, she should kneel and thank me for it.
00:36:23Let's see how long you keep up this charade.
00:36:25Seize him!
00:36:29No one laid the hand on what's mine.
00:36:32Seize them!
00:36:33Yes, sir!
00:36:39How dare you!
00:36:40I am the lady of the Morong residence!
00:36:44Husband, save me!
00:36:46You filthy beggar!
00:36:48You dare lay hands on my wife?
00:36:49You must have a death wish!
00:36:52Wretched fool!
00:36:53Young Master Morong is of royal blood.
00:36:55If you dare touch him, you make an enemy of all the Morongs.
00:37:00Royal blood?
00:37:00So what?
00:37:01Anyone who touches my people will meet nothing but death.
00:37:06You filthy beggar!
00:37:07You're overplaying your hand!
00:37:09Before I lose my temper, let go now and I might spare your life!
00:37:13You've tormented Shen Yun King to such a wretched state.
00:37:17Shove their faces into the burning coals!
00:37:19No!
00:37:20Father!
00:37:20Let me go!
00:37:21Shower!
00:37:22Father!
00:37:22Do something!
00:37:23You dare touch me?
00:37:25When the Ministry of Justice arrives, they won't let you off!
00:37:28Wait!
00:37:29You said the Ministry of Justice?
00:37:33Scared now, aren't you?
00:37:34My brother is a court official.
00:37:36If you harm me, you're as good as dead!
00:37:41I'd like to see exactly who in the Ministry of Justice would indulge scum like you to be so brazen.
00:37:48Press him down!
00:37:51Shower!
00:37:51Let me go!
00:37:52Let me go!
00:37:53You worthless wretch!
00:37:55Want to die?
00:37:55Don't drag the Shen family down!
00:37:58Stop!
00:38:05Brother, brother, save me!
00:38:08Get him!
00:38:09Get him!
00:38:23You curse!
00:38:24You tried to hurt my brother?
00:38:26Insolent!
00:38:27What if I am?
00:38:29That voice...
00:38:31You're...
00:38:36Quite the authority you wield, Minister of Justice.
00:38:41Your Majesty!
00:38:43Your Majesty!
00:38:47Your Majesty!
00:38:48This beggar?
00:38:49Impossible!
00:38:51Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:38:54He stole from the Imperial Palace!
00:38:56These people were all bribed by him!
00:38:58You're new here!
00:38:59Mistakes are natural!
00:39:00But he really is just a filthy beggar, not the Emperor!
00:39:04Could I truly have been mistaken?
00:39:06I once caught a glimpse from afar of His Majesty's profile.
00:39:10Perhaps they just look alike.
00:39:12His Majesty would never appear in a place like this.
00:39:14You wretched girl!
00:39:15Look at the fine husband you chose!
00:39:17Now you've provoked young Master Murak!
00:39:19Let's see how you get out of this!
00:39:21My lord!
00:39:21You must seek justice for us!
00:39:23That filthy beggar and Shen Yun-King have no regard for decency!
00:39:26They tried to murder their own kin!
00:39:29Outrageous!
00:39:29In the Imperial Capital, such insolence won't be tolerated!
00:39:33Guards!
00:39:33Take them all and throw them into the Justice Dungeon!
00:39:36Interrogate them under torture!
00:39:38Hold on!
00:39:40What else do you have to say?
00:39:42I had no idea when you became the Deputy Minister of Justice.
00:39:45You're just a filthy beggar.
00:39:46How could you possibly know about court officials?
00:39:49My brother was appointed by the Dowager Empress.
00:39:52Regretting it now, are you?
00:39:53You even dare to deceive the Dowager Empress.
00:39:56The Murong family certainly has some nerve.
00:39:58Dowager Empress, you must seek justice for me.
00:40:01His Majesty married outside wed to the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
00:40:05For that woman's sake, His Majesty even laughed out at me.
00:40:09What?
00:40:09You're saying the Emperor actually married some woman outside the palace?
00:40:16Attendance!
00:40:18Prepare my palanquins!
00:40:21How dare you?
00:40:22You dare offend the Empress?
00:40:23How many heads do you have to spare?
00:40:25Lord Murong, please see reason.
00:40:27The Shen family has severed all ties with Shen Yun King.
00:40:30Whatever he said has nothing to do with us.
00:40:32My lord, the Shen family has always abided by the rules.
00:40:35We'd never dare malign the royals.
00:40:37We beg Lord Murong's fair judgment.
00:40:39Yes, my lord, please look into this.
00:40:41You filthy beggar!
00:40:42Offending royalty is a capital crime!
00:40:43My lord, you must not let him go!
00:40:45Shen Yun King, your husband committed a grave crime.
00:40:48No one can save you today.
00:40:50I cannot let Qiyu come to harm.
00:40:53Have mercy, my lord.
00:40:54My husband was merely confused for a moment.
00:40:59Shen Yun King.
00:41:02I'll take you to a physician now.
00:41:06Such audacity!
00:41:07You dare try to flee?
00:41:08Guards, stop them!
00:41:12Anyone who dares stand in the way will be killed on sight.
00:41:15Yes, my lord!
00:41:28You think leaving will be that easy?
00:41:41Shen Yun!
00:41:49Shen Yun Kiao!
00:41:50How can you be so vicious?
00:41:52Qiyu has never wronged you.
00:41:53How could you do this to him?
00:41:55That filthy beggar dared have someone disfigure me.
00:41:58Did you really think I'd let you walk away so easily?
00:42:03Don't bother looking.
00:42:05Your men are too busy to save you now.
00:42:08You're asking for death!
00:42:12Giyu, I'm fine.
00:42:15Go now.
00:42:16Go.
00:42:17Can you really escape?
00:42:19Why won't you just leave me alone?
00:42:21I must say, you are truly blessed, dear sister.
00:42:24Even married off to a beggar, you still win tree loans.
00:42:27But the more that's so, the less I'll let you have your way.
00:42:30What lies between us should not involve the innocent.
00:42:34Do whatever you want to me.
00:42:37I beg you, let Chi Yu go.
00:42:42Shen Yun King!
00:42:44How touching!
00:42:46Even at a time like this, such devoted lovers you are.
00:42:50Since your bond runs so deep, I might as well send you off together.
00:42:54Die!
00:43:02The Dowager Empress arrived!
00:43:13Who dares harm my son?
00:43:16Greetings, Dowager Empress.
00:43:20He's truly the Emperor?
00:43:27The physician!
00:43:28Fetch the physician, quickly!
00:43:30Your Majesty, this servant deserves death!
00:43:33Silence!
00:43:37Shen Yun King!
00:43:38Ren Lu, escort Yun King back to the palace for treatment.
00:43:41If anything happens to Shen Yun King, I will hold you responsible.
00:43:45Yes, Your Majesty.
00:43:53My son, your wound.
00:43:59Your Majesty!
00:44:01Impossible!
00:44:03How can he be the Emperor?
00:44:04I had it all figured out.
00:44:06Given a second life, and I chose wrong again.
00:44:12Spare me, Your Majesty, please!
00:44:14Your Majesty!
00:44:15Please forgive me!
00:44:16I was blind and foolish and hurt you by mistake!
00:44:20Your Majesty, everyone in the Shen Residence has been arrested.
00:44:24What?
00:44:26You called him?
00:44:27He was just a beggar!
00:44:28How can he be the Emperor?
00:44:29Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:44:31I know my wrongs.
00:44:32When you were tormenting Shen Yun King, did you ever imagine this day would come?
00:44:37Hear my decree.
00:44:39Shen Zhao and his entire household are to be executed on the spot.
00:44:44My lady!
00:44:47Moronghi, as a court official, abused his authority and aided in tyranny.
00:44:53Immediately, he was stripped of his post as Deputy Minister of Justice and imprisoned alongside Morongan.
00:45:01Hold down, dear Empress!
00:45:03I have committed a grave offense, but it was all the Shen family's doing.
00:45:08For my father's sake, I beg you, grant this guilty servant a chance to atone.
00:45:13Yes, yes, exactly!
00:45:14We beg the Dowager Empress for mercy!
00:45:16My son, though the two Morong family's sons are foolish, they were not the masterminds.
00:45:21Spare them this once and show leniency.
00:45:25But those two...
00:45:27As you wish, Mother.
00:45:35Shen Yun King.
00:45:36Shen Yun King, are you alright? Are you hurt?
00:45:39I'm fine. Lie back down.
00:45:41The physician said you shouldn't move with your wound.
00:45:43Physician?
00:45:45Why are we in the palace?
00:45:47The Dowager Empress saved us.
00:45:49The Dowager Empress?
00:45:54Mother!
00:45:55You wish to make Shen Yun King your Empress?
00:45:56I will never allow it.
00:45:58I have already pledged myself to Shen Yun King.
00:46:01Whether you consent or not, I will overcome any obstacle to make her my Empress.
00:46:06You...
00:46:08Very well.
00:46:09I will find an opportunity to test Shen Yun King.
00:46:13If she passes my test, I will no longer stand in the way of your marriage.
00:46:18Thank you, Mother.
00:46:19Until then, you must not reveal your identity to Shen Yun King.
00:46:24Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to punish her.
00:46:27I shall remember.
00:46:30She left the palace to pray and passed by the Shen Estate.
00:46:33That's how she saved us.
00:46:34What about my father?
00:46:37The Dowager Empress ordered your sister and Murongan to receive 50 lashes.
00:46:41Murongan had long frequented pleasure houses so his body couldn't endure it and he fainted.
00:46:45She had no choice but to confine him.
00:46:47Your sister was sent to hard labor to perform hard labor.
00:46:50As for your parents...
00:46:51What happened to them?
00:46:54They were exiled.
00:46:58Exiled.
00:47:02From now on, I'll protect you.
00:47:05I got a guard post from her.
00:47:07She placed you at the Bureau of Servants.
00:47:10From now on, we'll both serve in the palace.
00:47:12Good.
00:47:13Now that we both have positions, after three to five years of service, we'll leave the palace together and live
00:47:18an ordinary life.
00:47:19All right.
00:47:23Genuinely, I hope you can forgive me.
00:47:30This is the Bureau of Palace Servants.
00:47:34So where do you guards stay?
00:47:36We patrol all over the place.
00:47:39No fixed quarters.
00:47:42Don't worry.
00:47:43Whenever I'm free, I'll come visit you.
00:47:46All right.
00:47:47All right.
00:47:57Visiting the Bureau without any advance notice?
00:48:01This is the new maid, Shen Yun King.
00:48:04In the days ahead, I must trouble Steward Lin to look after her.
00:48:09This is the Bureau's steward, Steward Lin.
00:48:12Go to her if you need anything.
00:48:14Greetings, Steward Lin.
00:48:15I see.
00:48:16Rest assured, I'll take good care of Shen Yun King.
00:48:20She's being far too gracious.
00:48:21I'm here to work.
00:48:22Why does it feel like I'm here to be a mistress?
00:48:25Perhaps she's just a kind person.
00:48:27That's good, then.
00:48:28You won't be bullied at the Bureau.
00:48:30Shen Yun King, please follow me.
00:48:43Wash all of these clean.
00:48:45We both serve in the Bureau.
00:48:47I have no reason to do your laundry.
00:48:49How dare you even ask?
00:48:50You took my duties, so now I scrub chamber pots.
00:48:53Some people who knows what tricks they use to get into the Bureau,
00:48:56since Steward Lin favors you so much, giving you all the easy work.
00:49:08Give it back!
00:49:11A Dragon Jade pendant.
00:49:13Only His Majesty may to wear such a thing.
00:49:15Speak!
00:49:16Where did you steal this?
00:49:17What, His Majesty?
00:49:18Give me back my pendant now!
00:49:21Go notify Steward Lin at once.
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:24Yes.
00:49:25Yes.
00:49:42I didn't mean to!
00:49:44Seize her now!
00:49:48All of you, stop!
00:49:53Your Majesty.
00:49:55This Bureau is such a humble place.
00:49:58You have never set foot here before.
00:50:00I fear it may offend your sacred person.
00:50:02Allow this old servant to announce your arrival first.
00:50:05No need.
00:50:07I disguise myself as a senior attendant.
00:50:10Precisely to observe Shen Yun King as she truly is.
00:50:13If she were to learn my identity, it would only complicate matters.
00:50:19Palace rules are strict.
00:50:20I was only gone for a brief moment and you've already grown so brazen.
00:50:24What do you take this place for?
00:50:26Madam, she did it all.
00:50:30Shen Yun King stole His Majesty's pendant.
00:50:32I caught her, and fearing exposure, she actually tried to harm me.
00:50:36Theft is the gravest sin here than sticky fingers.
00:50:39Madam Lin, you must punish her severely.
00:50:41Madam, it's not what they say.
00:50:43Enough!
00:50:47Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:50:51The Jade Pendant is my own.
00:50:53I said hand it over.
00:51:01A dragon-emblazoned Jade Pendant.
00:51:04It really is His Majesty's.
00:51:11Please judge fairly, Madam.
00:51:13I truly did not know it belonged to His Majesty.
00:51:16Madam, please don't be deceived by her honeyed words.
00:51:18She dared to steal His Majesty's Jade Pendant.
00:51:21Who knows what other audacious things she might do in the future.
00:51:25Palace rules clearly state that for theft of goods worth more than one qian,
00:51:29the left foot shall be severed and branding administered.
00:51:32I will thoroughly investigate this matter.
00:51:35I will thoroughly investigate this matter.
00:51:35Until the truth is established, the Jade Pendant shall remain in my custody.
00:51:39If you are truly innocent, I will see that justice is done.
00:51:44Rise.
00:51:48This is Madam Wang, the new steward.
00:51:50She will be working alongside me to manage the bureau.
00:51:53Madam Wang.
00:51:53All of you behave yourselves.
00:51:56Anyone caught shirking or scheming will be punished according to palace rules.
00:52:01Yes, Madam.
00:52:01The matter of you bullying your fellow servants is unresolved.
00:52:05Scrubbing the chamber pots is now your duty.
00:52:09You don't eat until you're done.
00:52:13Yes, Madam.
00:52:17And here I thought you had some real talent.
00:52:20So cunning and seductive.
00:52:21So good at seducing people.
00:52:23Yet you still got punished.
00:52:26Let's see if you dare act so arrogant around us again.
00:52:51Your majesty, Miss Zhao has come to the palace again today.
00:52:54Would you like to?
00:52:56No.
00:52:56Send her back where she came from.
00:52:58But.
00:52:59And you.
00:53:00I'm going to see Shen Yun King.
00:53:01If you keep following, won't that give me away?
00:53:03I'll take my leave at once.
00:53:07All done.
00:53:08Well done, Shen Yun King.
00:53:10Shen Yun King.
00:53:11Ji Yu, what are you doing here?
00:53:14Stuart Lynn.
00:53:15How could she make you do this?
00:53:17I'll talk to her.
00:53:17It's just chamber pots.
00:53:19It's not a big deal.
00:53:20Don't bother the matrons.
00:53:22All right.
00:53:24By the way, the jade pendant you gave me.
00:53:26What's the story behind it?
00:53:28Why does everyone say it belongs to his majesty?
00:53:32Well...
00:53:34My father once earned the title of top scholar.
00:53:37To inspire future scholars,
00:53:40his majesty bestowed the pendant upon him.
00:53:42That's how it came to our family.
00:53:43I see.
00:53:44No wonder they keep mentioning his majesty.
00:53:46I thought you were lying to me.
00:53:49Who's there?
00:53:50It's Matron Wang.
00:53:51Go quickly.
00:53:52Tomorrow I'll be on duty under his majesty.
00:53:54I'll find time to come see you then.
00:53:56All right.
00:54:00Matrons, I finished washing all the chamber pots.
00:54:03Finished?
00:54:03Then sweep the entire back courtyard from end to end.
00:54:10Yes, ma'am.
00:54:15Finally done sweeping.
00:54:23How dare you throw away my things.
00:54:27Granny Wang gave the order herself.
00:54:29Deliver her medicine at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:31She also said the medicine must be brewed with morning dew.
00:54:35Stay outside tonight to collect it.
00:54:37Morning dew?
00:54:38That's right.
00:54:39Morning dew.
00:54:40You all heard it.
00:54:41I'm not making this up.
00:54:43Why does Granny Wang single me out?
00:54:46After that jade pendant theft, Granny Wang didn't punish you.
00:54:50That was merciful enough.
00:54:52All she's asking is for you to collect morning dew.
00:54:55Be grateful.
00:54:56I never stole that jade pendant.
00:54:57Stop making false accusations.
00:55:00Not stolen?
00:55:01Then what?
00:55:01His majesty personally gave it to you?
00:55:04I...
00:55:04Forget it.
00:55:06Why do I even bother explaining to you people?
00:55:08Who said you could go in?
00:55:10The night dew is heavy and cold.
00:55:11I'm getting my own blanket.
00:55:13You can't stop me.
00:55:14Such nerve.
00:55:15This is the palace.
00:55:16No yours or mine.
00:55:17Don't think Steward Lin has your back.
00:55:19You can do as you please.
00:55:20Move.
00:55:25Shen Yun-King!
00:55:28Shen Yun-King!
00:55:30Are you alright?
00:55:31This?
00:55:32Who did this?
00:55:33Why is Unic Yuan-Ru here?
00:55:35Could he be?
00:55:37You're all dead!
00:55:39Your...
00:55:39Your majesty.
00:55:41You're the emperor?
00:55:47Insolent fool.
00:55:48This is the inner palace.
00:55:50Who permitted you to enter?
00:55:51You must not reveal your identity to Shen Yun-King.
00:55:56I meant no offense.
00:55:57I only saw someone was hurt and rushed forward to help.
00:56:00He's not the emperor.
00:56:01Then why is Unic Yuan-Ru showing him such deference?
00:56:04Unic Yuan-Ru, what on earth is going on?
00:56:09You've all misunderstood.
00:56:11This young guard bears some resemblance to his majesty.
00:56:13So he was summoned to the palace for questioning.
00:56:16He's new and doesn't know the rules.
00:56:17Don't you know this bureau is not to be entered freely?
00:56:20Forgive me, madam.
00:56:21It was all my fault.
00:56:22I shouldn't have quarreled with Yao-Chi and caused this young officer concern.
00:56:26Since you know you were wrong, off with you now.
00:56:30Thank you, madam.
00:56:35Your majesty.
00:56:36Just now I truly had no other choice.
00:56:41Go keep watch.
00:56:43Don't let the dowager blame Yun-King.
00:56:45Yes, sire.
00:56:48Unic Yuan-Ru.
00:56:54Edward Lin.
00:56:56Is there anything else, Unic Yuan-Ru?
00:56:58No, no, nothing.
00:57:04As for you...
00:57:08I wonder who's backing her and what their status really is.
00:57:12Consorting with a guard is a grave offense, yet Madam Wang only made her kneel.
00:57:17Now that you mention it, you're right.
00:57:20Even the matter of the stolen jade pendant was hushed up.
00:57:26Tell me, if the Emperor found out someone stole his jade pendant, what would he do to her?
00:57:40I still worry the dowager will blame Shen Yun-King.
00:57:45Then perhaps I should.
00:57:48Your majesty.
00:57:49A maid seeks audience outside the study.
00:57:53A maid seeks audience outside the study.
00:57:56A maid seeks to locate him.
00:58:02A maid seeks to locate him.
00:58:05Come, bring a pot.
00:58:06You're welcome.

01:06:45spoken so in your presence those words were never my true intent it was all this servant's fault she
01:06:51told me a palace maid was seducing his majesty and i lost my composure miss jiao it was clearly you
01:06:57who told me to silence if you wretched slave hadn't misled me how would i have made such a grave
01:07:03offense
01:07:05dowager empress i am innocent innocent of what you were the one who incited us to
01:07:10bully shen yun king you spread that rumor about her that was you too
01:07:13you jing zhang how dare you betray me enough

01:08:04asking if i had any thoughts on it that's a relief
01:08:13what is it shen yun king has passed the test
01:08:21so then may i tell her the truth and about making her empress
01:08:25there's no rush for that the spring festival banquet is next month the ministry can't handle both at once
01:08:31they simply don't have the manpower besides this is all too sudden i worry that the other ministers will object
01:08:42i suggest
01:08:44we let shen yun king organize the spring banquet
01:08:47if she can manage the banquet well
01:08:50it will not only prove her capability
01:08:53but also justify crowning her empress
01:08:55the dowager wants you to run the spring festival banquet
01:09:00me
01:09:01but i don't know how to do any of this
01:09:03don't worry
01:09:05with your talent you'll manage just fine
01:09:08i'll help you behind the scenes
01:09:17move it all of you anyone caught slacking off my whip doesn't have eyes
01:09:26useless still think you're some young lady in the discipline office nobody gets to slack off on my watch
01:09:39but i don't know how to do any of this
01:09:40jen yun king this is all your fault

01:09:55if i can escape this wretched place and find a way to get murong an to the spring banquet
01:09:59i can turn it all around
01:10:05what a dump
01:10:05they actually expect me to wash clothes myself
01:10:08miss jow i have a favor to ask
01:10:10a favor for me why should i help you if i weren't down on my luck you wouldn't even be
01:10:17worthy of
01:10:17speaking to me
01:10:21my sister shen yun king is the reason i'm locked up here if you're willing to help me escape
01:10:26i'll repay you with everything i have shen yun king
01:10:33not bad the banquet arrangements are clear and well organized one can tell real thought went into this
01:10:42you
01:10:43entrusting the banquet to you is quite a fine choice indeed
01:10:47your majesty something terrible the discipline office is on fire what
01:10:54shen yun king come with me to the discipline office
01:11:07sir what's the situation inside the fire burned the whole rear yard nearly half the people
01:11:13didn't make it out could it be that jow wanner has already
01:11:19salager empress greetings your majesty greetings your majesty
01:11:25you're alive at least i can answer to your father
01:11:29i've learned my lesson please lift my punishment this place i truly cannot bear another day
01:11:34very well with your temperament the discipline office serves no purpose anyway
01:11:40i also wish to ask your majesty to grant shen yun kiao a reward
01:11:44i survived this ordeal only because shen yun kiao risked her life to save him
01:11:49i recall that shen yun kiao and shen yun king are sisters
01:11:52how do you think i should reward her yun kiao is indeed my sister but the two
01:11:57of us have seldom been close we share no deep bond as for yun kiao's affairs it is not my
01:12:01place
01:12:02to interfere i leave it entirely to your majesty your majesty i believe that shen yun kiao is kind
01:12:07hearted perhaps there has been some misunderstanding very well she has been in the discipline office
01:12:14long enough and seems to have changed somewhat then let her leave the discipline office for now
01:12:19thank you for your grace your majesty jah wanner though i have lifted your punishment
01:12:25i never said you were free to go next month the marriage alliance with liao shall fall to you

01:12:41majesty
01:12:44return to the palace your majesty may i have a word with my sister
01:12:52shen yun king you ruined our parents and the murongs you made me suffer endlessly through every
01:12:58torment i will settle this score with you in time it's only been a moment and you've already forgotten
01:13:03your pain if you hadn't insisted on crossing me how would you have ended up like this i thought you'd
01:13:10truly become a phoenix but you're still a pheasant it seems the emperor never gave you a proper title
01:13:16what do you mean by that
01:13:21drop the act won't you with his majesty shen yun king
01:13:24shen yun king the dowager empress wants you gone she has more orders for you
01:13:34shen yun king let's see how long you can stay so smug brother please just let me go out i'm
01:13:40cooped
01:13:40up here every day one of these days i'll lose my mind from it you dare complain if you and
01:13:46shen yunkiao
01:13:46hadn't been so foolish we wouldn't have provoked his majesty and i wouldn't have lost my position
01:13:52if you ask me it's all that wretch yunkiao's fault husband
01:13:56how are you back the dowager empress pardoned my punishment i don't have to stay there anymore
01:14:02you've brought this ruin upon us and you dare come back brother the one who wronged you is shen yunking
01:14:07instead of blaming each other why not think of a way to deal with her shen yunking she's probably
01:14:12already a consort by now how can we fight her i saw her at that office we spoke face to
01:14:18face shen
01:14:18yunking is just a lowly palace maid now she's no threat at all a palace maid did his majesty
01:14:25marry her on a whim if his majesty truly cared for her how could he bear to make her a
01:14:30servant
01:14:30i've already thought it through the spring banquet is early next month all the nobles and aristocrats
01:14:36will be invited to the palace to attend this is our only chance the spring banquet our morong family
01:14:41is on the guest list too then can i attend too all the banquet guests are high-ranking nobles we
01:14:49can't
01:14:49afford any mistakes oh stop worrying you've checked every detail several times already nothing will go
01:14:56wrong i hope so
01:15:07delicious have more if you like it plenty more in the palace only because our seats are so remote this
01:15:13time that no one patrols here otherwise we could never meet so openly like this shen yunking
01:15:22once the banquet is over i have something to tell you all right i'll be right here waiting
01:15:35husband husband look
01:15:40shen yunking she's actually with a guard

01:15:52remember to wait for me
01:16:00dear sister simply can't go anywhere without a man by her side
01:16:06shen yunking forgotten your brother-in-law
01:16:09what barely cast aside by his majesty and already tangled up with a guard
01:16:14this is the imperial palace not your shen residence that indulges you your every move will reach his
01:16:21majesty and the dowager empress you've only just been released have you learned nothing my husband and
01:16:27i are invited to the palace banquet honored guests you are nothing but a servant if pleased they may
01:16:34reward you if they are displeased even if you died no one would care what are you doing
01:16:46shen yunkiao haven't you done enough to ruin me as long as you suffer i'm happy
01:16:55you escaped that incident at the shen residence only because you were lucky but now no one is here to
01:17:01protect you greetings your majesty the dowager empress
01:17:14greetings dowager empress
01:17:19shen yunking you've worked hard organizing the palace banquet
01:17:27it is my duty i don't find it hard at all
01:17:30dowager empress i have something to say speak i wish to report shen yunking for an affair with
01:17:36a guard i saw it with my own eyes shen yunking and the guard were all over each other when
01:17:41caught
01:17:41she tried to conceal it if she dares to be so bold in broad daylight imagine what she does behind
01:17:46closed
01:17:46doors
01:17:50i did have contact with the guard but it was not the sordid affair they claim
01:17:54before we entered the palace we had already shared our feelings in the palace we rarely met
01:18:00if you had a clear conscience why rush to leave the moment you saw us such an affair means death
01:18:05you may execute me but i beg you to show mercy and spare the young guard's life it was i
01:18:11who asked to meet him
01:18:16ultimately neither of you is innocent
01:18:20i implore the dowager empress to seize the guard and execute it alongside her
01:18:25please execute them both to uphold palace decorum
01:18:32there is indeed a strict rule in the palace that maids are forbidden from associating with guards
01:18:39but shen yunking organized the banquet with great devotion her merits offset her fault
01:18:44her punishment shall be weighed
01:18:51shen yunking you may go attend to your duties
01:18:55yes

01:19:08first the emperor shielded her and now the dowager protects her they even gave her the spring banquet
01:19:13to organize since shen yunking is in charge of the spring banquet that makes things easy
