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.
00:00:09I humbly thank your majesty for this grace.
00:00:11Shen Yun King, receive the decree.
00:00:21Murder, help! Help!
00:00:32Sister.
00:00:34Why?
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?
00:00:43If only three years ago, the one who caught my ball had been Murong On.
00:00:47The 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.
00:01:22Listen 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.
00:01:48Miss, it's your turn to throw the ball.
00:01:52Shen Yun King.
00:01:54Sister, why don't I go first?
00:01:56In my past life, Shen Yun-Kiao insisted I throw first, deferring again and again.
00:02:01But now, it seems Shen Yun-Kiao has also been reborn. Fine, go ahead.
00:02:07To me! To me! To me! To me! To me! Over here! Over here! Miss Shen! Over here! Over here!
00:02:11To me!
00:02:12Get lost! All of you, get lost!
00:02:19In this life, the one who marries Murong-An will be me.
00:02:29Master, look! The one who caught it is the Murong's second young master.
00:02:33It's him! It's Murong-An, second son of Murong!
00:02:35The Murong's are distant kin to royalty. The eldest son, Murong-Hee, just days ago was appointed deputy minister of
00:02:42justice.
00:02:43If the Shen family could marry into the Murong's, we'd practically be royalty ourselves.
00:02:48Murong-An.
00:02:49In this life, I finally changed my fate. In three years, Murong-An will rise in rank and title, and
00:02:55I 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! WONDERFUL!
00:03:07Chow-An is truly a daughter I raised myself. She brings honor to the Shen family!
00:03:12You flatter me, father. I only wish to do right by our family. Once I become Lady Murong,
00:03:17I shall watch my every word and deed and bring prosperity to our family. Sister, don't you agree?
00:03:23How fortunate for you, sister. I'm truly happy for you.
00:03:26Shen Yun-King, your good fortune has been stolen by me. In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow
00:03:32me again.
00:03:35Shen Yun-Kiao, look! Young 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. If the Dowager Empress finds out...
00:03:56She nags me daily to pick a concert. I have no choice but to slip out for some peace.
00:03:59It's a good chance to see the life of common folk. Your Majesty has always been a devoted ruler,
00:04:04but dress like this. Shabby as these clothes are. They 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 all right? Watch it, you filthy beggar!
00:04:22Hurry! Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today. We'll miss it if we're late.
00:04:26Choosing a husband? Come on, let's go have a look.
00:04:29In my past life, that beggar snatched my ball. After I fled that marriage, I suffered endlessly.
00:04:34How fitting. This time, I'll make you taste the bitterness of being cast aside by your own kin.
00:04:41Go now. Do as I told you. Understood secondness.
00:04:44What are they up to?
00:04:45Now that our Shen family has secured ties with the Murong residence,
00:04:49when Shen Yun-King chooses her husband shortly, she'd better not disappoint.
00:04:53Mother, what kind of thing is that to say? Sister has always been lucky.
00:04:57How could she possibly embarrass father? If you ask me, sister will surely find the finest husband of all.
00:05:02Shen Yun-King, your sister's marriage is as good as settled now. We already have one with power,
00:05:07so you'd better find one with wealth. Only then will you be worthy of being a daughter of Shen Zhao.
00:05:14Miss, it's your turn. Schemes and plots, gold and silver treasures,
00:05:18are all but passing clouds and drifting smoke. In this life, I only wish to find a good and true
00:05:23companion and live out my days in peace. Your Majesty! Miss Shen threw it to me! Get lost!
00:05:43It's him. In my past life, he was the one who caught Shen Yun-Kiao's embroidered ball.
00:05:48Oh my! A perfectly good embroidered ball! Snatched away by a beggar! Sister,
00:05:53what rotten luck you have! Of all people, you picked a beggar! Who knows which deity you've offended?
00:05:58Where does that leave father's reputation? Useless girl! With all those men below,
00:06:03you had to throw it to a beggar! Now everyone in Shang-Jing is laughing at us! Are you trying
00:06:07to
00:06:07humiliate me? My lord! At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murongs. Otherwise,
00:06:13the Shen family would truly be disgraced today. How would we ever show our faces again? What's done is done!
00:06:20Sister, don't be too upset. Though this beggar is lowborn, at least his face is passable. I just feel sorry
00:06:25for you,
00:06:26sister. Spoiled since childhood. Now marrying a beggar. Marriage is a woman's greatest path in life!
00:06:32You chose a beggar! From now on, you'll sleep under the sky! The Shens can't help you!
00:06:37Oh my! This is going to be quite a show! The Shen family's eldest actually marrying a beggar?
00:06:42Everyone's watching! If she refuses, the Shens broke their word! Who would ever deal with the
00:06:46Shen family again? Exactly! Let's see what the Shens do! Hey, where are you going? Stop her!
00:06:51Don't let her run off! My lord, I finally found you! My heavens! Why is the embroidered ball in your
00:06:59hands? Perhaps you should just toss it away! Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners. We
00:07:06mustn't break the customs of the people. Besides, dressed as shabbily as I am, she certainly won't want to marry
00:07:11me.
00:07:24I... Sister, in such a rush to meet your perfect match? You threw the embroidered ball yourself!
00:07:30You chose the man yourself! Don't tell me you're having regrets! You wretched girl! Look at the
00:07:35beggar you drew in! If he becomes our son-in-law, you'd be trampling our entire family's honor beneath
00:07:40your feet! In my past life, I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to
00:07:45court the
00:07:45powerful. Looking back now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live in peace. The rule of the ball toss is
00:07:51that whoever catches it is chosen! Even if you refuse now, I am willing to marry him! I am willing
00:07:57to marry him!
00:08:05My name is Shen Yun-King. What's yours? I... 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? Of course! You already caught my embroidered ball! Would
00:08:30you go back on your word? No, it's not that! It's just that I have nothing! If you marry me,
00:08:36you'll have no proper home, barely enough to eat! Would you still agree? We both have two hands and two
00:08:41feet! What we want, we can build for ourselves! If we work hard in the future and find honest work,
00:08:47making a living won't be hard. Palace people would resort to anything for the smallest gain.
00:08:51She's unlike anyone I've met, someone so easily content. A filthy beggar, and she actually treats
00:08:56him like a treasure! Shen Yun-King, you'd better think this through. Marrying a beggar means ruining
00:09:02your own future. A future isn't built on status alone, but on character and virtue. Chi Yu may be
00:09:08dressed plainly, but he seems approachable, well-mannered, and may well make a fine match. You...
00:09:14The rules of the embroidered ball toss have already been set. Even if Master Shen wishes to go back on
00:09:19his word now, it's too late. That's right. If he refuses, not only would it break our customs,
00:09:25it would tarnish the Shen name. Since 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. I understand, Father. All right,
00:09:38everyone, move along. Always crowding around for a spectacle, honestly. The show's over. Time to go
00:09:44home. Young Master Murong! Young Master Murong, please wait! Young Master Murong, would you kindly
00:09:51come to the Shen residence to discuss the wedding? Let's go. Right this way, please. Sister, don't say I
00:10:00didn't warn you. Marrying a beggar for the rest of your life, you'll forever be beneath me. Perhaps you
00:10:06should worry about yourself first. Life at the Murong residence won't be as easy as you imagine.
00:10:19You... Make way, make way!
00:10:37Oh heavens, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere? I'm fine. See? I'm perfectly all right. I'm so
00:10:43sorry. I'm truly sorry. It wasn't on purpose. Be careful next time. Will do! To marry someone so
00:10:49gentle and kind-hearted, that is my good fortune in this life. In three days, come to the Shen residence
00:10:55for me. Back at the palace, Mother would force me to choose a consort. So why not? Very well. I'll
00:11:01be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today. Her dowry includes gold inlaid gemstones,
00:11:13phoenix hairpins, a pair, one EC pearl flower crown, a pair of jade bracelets,
00:11:1920 bolts of shoe brocade, and three land deeds for silk shops in the east of 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. Haven't you heard? The second Miss
00:11:36Shen is marrying the Murong residence's second young master, while the eldest Miss Shen is
00:11:40marrying a beggar. How could they be treated the same? If my sister truly marries a beggar,
00:11:45she'll toil for the rest of her life. I wonder if she'll adapt? The groom is here!
00:11:53Wordy of the Murong's second young master, what a grand procession. The Murong residence holds
00:11:58immense power. Once the second Miss Shen marries in, she'll live in endless luxury. But Shen
00:12:03ying king marrying the beggar. That'll be quite the spectacle. Here we call!
00:12:14Greetings, father and mother. Rise, rise, son-in-law. This bridal procession of yours
00:12:20is a rare spectacle in all of Shangjing. That shower is so valued by you as an honor for our
00:12:26Shen family.
00:12:27Young master Murong has arrived, yet there's no sign of the other groom. If I were him,
00:12:31I'd bury myself underground and never show my face. Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly past.
00:12:37Your husband still hasn't come for you. Perhaps he doesn't intend to come at all.
00:12:42He's here! He's here! The groom is here!
00:12:48You finally came. What I promised you, I will fulfill.
00:13:00I'm terribly sorry for arriving late. What on earth are you wearing? Before all these guests,
00:13:05you're making me lose face! Today is her wedding day, after all. And this beggar shows up dressed
00:13:10like this to claim his bride. How can my sister not find this humiliating? Marriage is a lifelong
00:13:17matter. What matters is sincerity, not appearances. The one eye Shen Yun-king have chosen will never
00:13:22be swayed by others' words. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Don't be angry, master. Once Yun-king
00:13:28leaves, she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family. The auspicious hour has come. The bride
00:13:33may board the sedan. Minister Zhang has arrived! Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:47What an honor to have Minister Zhang grace us with his presence. Pardon us. Heaven rewards the devoted.
00:13:53It truly does. Congratulations, Master Shen. Thank you, thank you. Minister Zhang, please come inside.
00:14:00After you, bridegroom. The groom goes first. After you, please.
00:14:07Don't tell me you walked here on foot. On a wedding day, no bride has ever walked to her
00:14:12husband's home. Well, today is certainly an eye-opener. Indeed, unlike my husband.
00:14:26My lady, let's go home.
00:14:29My lady, let's go home.
00:14:48Shen Yun-king, once I'm an Imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
00:14:52Shen Yun-king, once I'm an Imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
00:14:53Shen Yun-king, once I'm an Imperial noble lady, I'll regret this.
00:15:00Shen Yun-king, once I've written, that's the best is.
00:15:04Shen Yun-king, this best is that?
00:15:06Shen Yun-king, this is the place you found for me?
00:15:21Shen Yun-king, you'll regret it.
00:15:22Didn't you say it had to match your current status?
00:15:25This is far too run down.
00:15:26Is this even livable?
00:15:27I was afraid you'd blow your cover.
00:15:34I'm sorry you have to put up with this, staying in such a dump.
00:15:37How about we?
00:15:38Give it a good cleaning.
00:15:39It's actually quite spacious.
00:15:41It'll be cozy once we settle in.
00:15:43From now on, this is our home.
00:15:45Home.
00:15:45Our home.
00:15:47The eldest Shen daughter is so remarkably virtuous.
00:15:50Far better than all those noble ladies the Dowager Empress chose for me.
00:15:56Shen Yunqing.
00:15:58I don't have much to offer right now.
00:16:01This jade pendant was given to me by my father before he passed.
00:16:05Now I'm giving it to you.
00:16:08You're giving me something so precious?
00:16:15Yes.
00:16:16Rest assured.
00:16:17I'll keep it safe.
00:16:19His Majesty gave away his personal jade pendant.
00:16:22Does he truly love Shen Yunqing?
00:16:24Does he truly love Shen Yunqing?
00:16:35He's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the
00:16:42one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's
00:16:42the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one
00:16:42who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the
00:16:42one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's
00:16:42the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one
00:16:42who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the
00:16:42one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's
00:16:42the one who's the one who
00:17:22This bed is far too hard.
00:17:39Now it's hot.
00:17:41Shen Yun King, are you alright?
00:17:43Did you burn yourself?
00:17:44I'm fine, don't worry.
00:17:45Breakfast is ready.
00:17:46Eat while it's still warm.
00:17:48I need to step out for a bit.
00:17:49Where are you going?
00:17:51Today is the day a new bride visits her family.
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.
00:18:14Greetings, your majesty.
00:18:17What's wrong?
00:18:18Are you unwell?
00:18:21What happened to his 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.
00:18:29What 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 Yun King 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 Yun King.
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 King.
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 as Yun King's
00:19:22homecoming 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.
00:19:31Jeyu is home entertaining guests.
00:19:33I better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:36Father never approved of Qiyu'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.
00:19:56Father, your daughter is home.
00:19:58Father, your daughter is home.
00:20:05Father, why did you come back alone, sister?
00:20:11Today is the bridal homecoming.
00:20:13Why did you come back alone, sister?
00:20:15Could it be?
00:20:16You're afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you, so you wouldn't even let him come back
00:20:20with you.
00:20:21My husband had matters to tend to.
00:20:24Shen Yun King, 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
00:20:41lives.
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.
00:20:54You!
00:20:55Damn you, Murong Ahn!
00:20:57On our wedding night, he went to the pleasure houses, and everyone found out about it.
00:21:02He humiliated me completely.
00:21:04Tower!
00:21:10Mother.
00:21:12Greetings, father.
00:21:14Greetings, mother.
00:21:14You 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.
00:21:30That 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?
00:22:25A 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, the palace has sent gifts.
00:22:44They say they're homecoming gifts from the eldest miss.
00:22:47What?
00:22:57Master Shen, congratulations.
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.
00:23:13How 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 Yun-King married a beggar.
00:23:22Unlike our Murong son-in-law, whose brother is Deputy Justice.
00:23:26The palace sent these out of regard for our Murong son-in-law.
00:23:28That's why those currying favor with us are countless.
00:23:31Do you 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 Chow 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 Yun-King.
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.
00:24:16I see nothing wrong with it.
00:24:17Have you no thought for our family reputation or father's dignity?
00:24:21I poured everything into raising you.
00:24:24And what do you do?
00:24:25The eldest daughter of the Shen family not only married a beggar,
00:24:28but now you bring back this worthless rubbish to disgust me.
00:24:32Don't bother coming back from now on.
00:24:33The Shen family has no room for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:24:42Fine, I'll leave then.
00:24:44Take care of yourself.
00:24:46I'll come visit another day.
00:24:50In my past life, because of that wretched beggar, I suffered endlessly.
00:24:54Why should Shen Yun-King 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, lest 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, everything I do is wrong anyway.
00:25:20I might as well leave so I'm no longer an eyesore to certain people.
00:25:23You want to leave?
00:25:25Fine.
00:25:25Unless you no-tow your way around all of Vermillion Bird Street on your knees,
00:25:29telling everyone that you married a beggar and brought shame upon the Shen family.
00:25:36And that you willingly choose to sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:25:45Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:46Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:48Mother.
00:25:51Didn'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, you dared sneak out and cause trouble.
00:26:04The consort selection?
00:26:06You may decide, mother.
00:26:07Since you are well, I'll take my lead.
00:26:09You...
00:26:12Your majesty, the memorials have been piling up for days.
00:26:15If you delay any further, urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:17Please put state affairs first, your majesty.
00:26:20After reviewing them, you can still reach Shen residents in time.
00:26:24To the imperial study, Chao always thinks things through.
00:26:28Do as your sister says.
00:26:31Just because I married Chi Yu, you all have to humiliate me like this?
00:26:35You came home with no one to accompany you, no gifts to present.
00:26:39Asking you to pay respects is hardly unreasonable.
00:26:42Your sister thought of the Shen family, unlike you, who married a beggar and disgraced our family.
00:26:47What dignity?
00:26:49Only because Yun-Kiao married into a wealthy family that you indulge her so.
00:26:53Insolent wretch!
00:26:54Have I been too lenient with you?
00:26:56These outrageous words, who taught you to say them?
00:26:59Am I wrong?
00:27:01In your heart, daughters are merely pawns to curry favor with the powerful.
00:27:06How dare you, speaking to your father like that?
00:27:13The Dragon Jade Pendant!
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, that filthy beggar!
00:27:35Then it's even less likely to be his.
00:27:38He 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, does 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, how strange.
00:27:58You've been out here for so long, yet 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, will you let Shen Yun-Kiao behave so brazenly?
00:28:16I am your daughter too.
00:28:18You insisted on marrying a beggar and brought shame upon the Shen family.
00:28:22From now on, I, Shen Zhao, have only one daughter.
00:28:26And that is Chia Wei.
00:28:32All I ask in this life is to be with someone sincere.
00:28:36Even plain meals and simple living are 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, sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:28:52We are strangers henceforth.
00:28:59For the sake of a filthy beggar, you choose to cut ties.
00:29:03Good thing the Shen family never counted on you.
00:29:07Isn't that what you think, father?
00:29:08Father, why 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, bring the burning coals from the kitchen and 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, Xiaoguaner.
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, something 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, the 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 and come with me to Shen residence.
00:30:06Sire, where are you going?
00:30:07The Dowager Empress said.
00:30:16Yah!
00:30:21Our body, hair, and skin are gifts from our parents.
00:30:25If you wish to sever ties, you must first repay the debt you owe them.
00:30:29Walk across and your wish shall be granted.
00:30:32No!
00:30:33The coals are burning so fiercely, anyone who steps on them would never survive.
00:30:37I won't do it.
00:30:38Oh?
00:30:39It seems Elder Sister no longer wants the Jade Pendant.
00:30:42Don't throw it!
00:30:46That's it.
00:30:47It's the only person who ever truly cared for me.
00:30:49That pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:30:52I won't let his gift be desecrated.
00:30:55Fine.
00:30:56I'll walk
00:31:20For the sake of a beggar you'd actually go this far you've truly lost your mind
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, I will get that jade pendant back
00:32:11She actually made it through
00:32:18Now
00:32:20Can 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
00:32:46She really does treasure it
00:33:08Found it!
00:33:09Finally found it!
00:33:12You cherish so dearly your bond with that filthy beggar
00:33:17If your face were ruined
00:33:19Would 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
00:33:32Will 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
00:33:44Like a rex
00:33:46Watching me become the most exalted woman in this world
00:33:55Master! Master! His Majesty is here!
00:33:58What did you say?
00:33:59His Majesty!
00:34:16Schoen Yunqing!
00:34:27To you
00:34:29To 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?
00:35:06This 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. Being useless is one thing,
00:35:23But 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?
00:35:55It was me. So what? I 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?
00:36:04I can't fathom what goes on in that head of hers. Utterly stupid.
00:36:08Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are to shriek and holler before me?
00:36:11So what if I berate her? She'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. Seize him!
00:36:29No one lays a hand on what's mine. Seize them!
00:36:33Yes, sir!
00:36:39How dare you! I am the lady of the Morong residence!
00:36:44Husband, save me!
00:36:46You filthy beggar! You dare lay hands on my wife? You must have a death wish!
00:36:52Wretched fool! Young Master Morong is of royal blood!
00:36:56If you dare touch him, you make an enemy of all the Morongs!
00:37:00Royal blood? So what?
00:37:01Anyone who touches my people will meet nothing but death.
00:37:06You filthy beggar! You'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! Father! Let me go!
00:37:21Shower! Father! Do 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? My 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! Let me go! Let me go!
00:37:53You worthless wretch! Want to die? Don'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 care!
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! This beggar? Impossible!
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! Mistakes 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! Look 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! You 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!
00:39:28Outrageous!
00:39:29In the Imperial Capital such insolence won't be tolerated!
00:39:33Guards! Take 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!
00:40:02His 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?!
00:40:16Attendants!
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! Offending royalty is a capital crime!
00:40:44My 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 Chi-Yu come to harm!
00:40:53Have mercy, my lord!
00:40:54My husband was merely confused for a moment!
00:40:59Shen Yun-King!
00:41:03I'll take you to a physician now!
00:41:06Such audacity!
00:41:07You dare try to flee?!
00:41:08Guards! Stop them!
00:41:13Anyone 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-King!
00:41:49Shen Yun-King!
00:41:50How can you be so vicious?!
00:41:52Chi-Yu 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?!
00:42:04Don't bother looking!
00:42:05Your men are too busy to save you now!
00:42:08You're asking for death!
00:42:12Chi-Yu, 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 with your 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!
00:42:31What lies between us should not involve the innocent!
00:42:34Do whatever you want to me!
00:42:36I beg you, let Chi-Yu go!
00:42:42Shen Yun-King!
00:42:45How 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! Fetch the physician! Quickly!
00:43:30Your Majesty, this servant deserves death!
00:43:33Silence!
00:43:37Shen Yun-King!
00:43:38Renlu!
00:43:39Escort 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!
00:43:54My son, your wound!
00:44:00Your Majesty!
00:44:02Impossible!
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! Your Majesty!
00:44:15Please forgive me! I 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!
00:44:47Mo Dong-Hyi, 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 Mo Rongan.
00:45:01What?
00:45:02World Dowager 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! We beg the Dowager Empress for mercy!
00:45:16My son, though the two Mo Rongan family 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.
00:45:37Hiyu, are you alright? Are you hurt?
00:45:39I'm fine. Lie back down. The physician said you shouldn't move with your wound.
00:45:43Physician? Why 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? I 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. I 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. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to punish
00:46:27her.
00:46:28I shall remember.
00:46:30She left the palace to pray and passed by the Shen Estate. That's how she saved us.
00:46:35What about my father?
00:46:37The Dowager Empress ordered your sister and Mu Rong'an to receive 50 lashes.
00:46:41Mu Rong'an 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, as 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.
00:47:06I 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.
00:47:13Good. Now that we both have positions, after three to five years of service, we'll leave the palace together and
00:47:18live an ordinary life.
00:47:19All right.
00:47:23Shen Yun-King.
00:47:24I 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. No fixed quarters.
00:47:42Don't worry. Whenever I'm free, I'll come visit you.
00:47:46All right.
00:47:57Visiting the Bureau without any advance notice?
00:48:01This is the new maid, Shen Yun-King. In the days ahead, I must trouble Steward Lin to look after
00:48:07her.
00:48:09This is the Bureau's steward, Steward Lin. Go to her if you need anything.
00:48:14Greetings, Steward Lin.
00:48:15I see. Rest assured, I'll take good care of Shen Yun-King.
00:48:20She's being far too gracious. I'm here to work. Why does it feel like I'm here to be a mistress?
00:48:25Perhaps she's just a kind person. That's good then. You won't be bullied at the Bureau.
00:48:30Shen Yun-King, please follow me.
00:48:43Wash all of these clean. We both serve in the Bureau. I have no reason to do your laundry.
00:48:49How dare you even ask? You took my duties, so now I scrub chamber pots.
00:48:53Some people who knows what tricks they use to get into the Bureau, since Steward Lin favors you so much,
00:48:58giving you all the easy work.
00:49:08Don't forget, Sho.
00:49:09Give it back.
00:49:11A Dragon Jade pendant. Only his majesty made to wear such a thing.
00:49:15Speak! Where did you steal this?
00:49:17What his majesty?! Give me back my pendant, now!
00:49:21Don't notify Steward Lin at once.
00:49:23Oh shit!
00:49:40King Shen! You!
00:49:42I-I didn't mean to! Seize her now!
00:49:48All of you, stop!
00:49:53Your Majesty.
00:49:55This bureau is such a humble place. You 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. No need.
00:50:07I disguise myself as a senior attendant.
00:50:10Precisely to observe Shen Yun-King as she truly is.
00:50:14If 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.
00:51:02A dragon emblazoned Jade Pendant. It really is His Majesty's.
00:51:11Please judge fairly, madam. I 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.
00:51:35Until 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.
00:51:45Thank you, madam.
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.
00:51:54All of you behave yourselves.
00:51:56Anyone caught shirking or scheming will be punished according to palace rules.
00:52:00Yes, madam.
00:52:02The 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.
00:52:27Let's see if you dare act so arrogant around us again.
00:52:46There, isn't that better?
00:52:51Your Majesty.
00:52:52Miss Zhao has come to the palace again today.
00:52:54Would you like to?
00:52:56No.
00:52:57Send 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.
00:53:11Thyanta Wanna Ones…
00:53:12Ji Yu?
00:53:12What are you doing here?
00:53:15Stuart Lin!
00:53:15How could she make you do this?
00:53:17I'll talk to her.
00:53:18It'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..
00:53:25The 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, his majesty bestowed the pendant upon him. That's how it came to our family.
00:53:44I see. No wonder they keep mentioning his majesty. I thought you were lying to me.
00:53:49Who's there?
00:53:50It's Matron Wang. Go, quickly.
00:53:52Tomorrow I'll be on duty under his majesty. I'll find time to come see you then.
00:53:56Alright.
00:54:00Matrons, I finished washing all the chamber pots.
00:54:03Finished? Then 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. Deliver her medicine at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:32She also said the medicine must be brewed with morning dew.
00:54:35Stay outside tonight to collect it.
00:54:37Morning dew? That's right. Morning dew. You all heard it. I'm not making this up.
00:54:43Why does Granny Wang single me out?
00:54:47After that jade pendant theft, Granny Wang didn't punish you. That was merciful enough.
00:54:51All she's asking is for you to collect morning dew. Be grateful.
00:54:56I never stole that jade pendant. Stop making false accusations.
00:55:00Not stolen? Then what? His majesty personally gave it to you?
00:55:04I...
00:55:04Forget it. Why 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. I'm getting my own blanket. You can't stop me.
00:55:14Such nerve. This is the palace. No yours or mine. Don't think steward Lin has your back. You can do
00:55:19as you please.
00:55:20Move.
00:55:25Chen Yun-King.
00:55:28Chen Yun-King.
00:55:30Are you alright?
00:55:31This?
00:55:32Who did this?
00:55:34Why is Eunuch Yuan-Ru here? Could he be?
00:55:37You're all dead.
00:55:39You're... Your majesty.
00:55:41You're the emperor?
00:55:47Insolent fool. This is the inner palace. Who permitted you to enter? You must not reveal your identity to Shen
00:55:54Yun-King.
00:55:56I meant no offense. I only saw someone was hurt and rushed forward to help.
00:56:00He's not the emperor. Then why has Eunuch Yuan-Ru shown him such deference?
00:56:04Eunuch Yuan-Ru, what on earth is going on?
00:56:09You've all misunderstood. This young guard bears some resemblance to his majesty.
00:56:13So he was summoned to the palace for questioning. He'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. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have quarreled with Yauchi and caused this young officer concern.
00:56:27Since you know you were wrong, off with you now.
00:56:30Thank you, madam.
00:56:33Hmm.
00:56:35Your majesty. Just now, I truly had no other choice.
00:56:41Go keep watch.
00:56:43Don't let the dowager blame Yun-King.
00:56:46Yes, sire.
00:56:48Eunuch Yuan-Ru.
00:56:54Deward Lin.
00:56:56Is there anything else, Eunuch 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.
00:57:18Now 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, a maid seeks audience outside the study.
00:58:04To be continued...
00:58:22my my face you stupid fool what did you put in that bowl i i got this recipe from a
00:58:29taoist
00:58:30he said that after consuming it it would beautify the skin

00:59:35servants who in the bureau of palace servants could have his majesty so preoccupied
00:59:42it's not me even if i had the nerve of a lion i wouldn't dare seduce his majesty

01:01:25with that seductive fox face of hers no wonder she can't behave herself it's one thing for his majesty to

01:17:53sordid affair they claim before we entered the palace we had already shared our feelings in the palace we
