00:00:00Lady Shen of the Murong residence, virtuous and prudent by nature, diligent and gentle, is hereby bestowed the title of
00:00:07first rank imperial noble lady.
00:00:09I humbly thank your majesty for this grace.
00:00:12Shen 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 King insisted I throw first, deferring again and again.
00:02:01But now, it seems Shen Yun King 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.
00:02:36The 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.
00:02:48Murong 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
00:03:03wolf's den.
00:03:06Wonderful! Wonderful!
00:03:08Chowar 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.
00:03:15Once I become Lady Murong, I shall watch my every word and deed and bring prosperity to our family.
00:03:21Sister, 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.
00:03:30In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:35Chowar, 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 console. I had no choice but to slip out for some peace. It's
00:04:00a good chance to see the life of common folk.
00:04:02Your Majesty has always been a devoted ruler, but dress like this. Shabby as these clothes are. They help me
00:04:08blend in unnoticed. Would 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! Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today.
00:04:25We'll miss it if we're late. Choosing 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.
00:04:35How 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, when Shen Yunqing chooses her husband shortly, she'd
00:04:52better not disappoint.
00:04:53Mother, what kind of thing is that to say? Sister has always been lucky. How could she possibly embarrass father?
00:04:59If you ask me, sister will surely find the finest husband of all.
00:05:03Shen Yunqing, your sister's marriage is as good as settled now. We already have one with power, so you'd better
00:05:08find one with wealth. Only 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. In this life, I only
00:05:22wish 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. In my past life, he was the one who caught Shen Yunqiao's embroidered ball.
00:05:48Oh my! A perfectly good embroidered ball! Snatched away by a beggar!
00:05:53Sister, what rotten luck you have! Of all people, you picked a beggar! Who knows which deity you've offended? Where
00:05:58does that leave father's reputation?
00:06:01Useless girl! With all those men below, you had to throw it to a beggar! Now everyone in Shangjing is
00:06:06laughing at us! Are you trying to humiliate me?
00:06:08My lord! At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murongs. Otherwise, the Shen family would truly
00:06:15be disgraced today. How would we ever show our faces again?
00:06:18What's done is done. Sister, don't be too upset. Though this beggar is lowborn, at least his face is passable.
00:06:24I just feel sorry for you, sister. Spoiled since childhood. Now marrying a beggar.
00:06:30Marriage is a woman's greatest path in life. You chose a beggar. From 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! The Shen family's eldest actually marrying a beggar? Everyone's watching!
00:06:43If she refuses, the Shens broke their word! Who would ever deal with the Shen family again?
00:06:47Exactly! Let's see what the Shens do!
00:06:50Hey, where are you going? Stop her! Don't let her run off!
00:06:53My lord, I finally found you!
00:06:57My heavens! Why is the embroidered ball in your hands? Perhaps you should just toss it away!
00:07:02Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners. We mustn't break the customs of the people. Besides, dressed as shabbily as
00:07:09I am, she certainly won't want to marry me.
00:07:24I...
00:07:25Sister, in such a rush to meet your perfect match? You threw the embroidered ball yourself! You chose the man
00:07:31yourself! Don't tell me you're having regrets!
00:07:33You wretched girl! Look at the beggar you drew in! If he becomes our son-in-law, you'd be trampling
00:07:38our entire family's honor beneath your feet!
00:07:41In my past life, I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to court the
00:07:45powerful. Looking 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! I am willing to marry him!
00:08:06My name is Shen Yun-King. What's yours?
00:08:09I... My name is Qi Yu.
00:08:14Today, with all of you as witnesses, I, Shen Yun-King, am willing to marry Qi Yu as his wife!
00:08:24You truly want to marry me?
00:08:26Of course. You already caught my embroidered ball. Would you go back on your word?
00:08:32No, it's not that. It's just that I have nothing. If you marry me, you'll have no proper home, barely
00:08:38enough to eat. Would you still agree?
00:08:40We both have two hands and two feet. What we want, we can build for ourselves. If we work hard
00:08:45in 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. She's unlike anyone I've met. Someone so easily content.
00:08:55A filthy beggar! And she actually treats him like a treasure!
00:08:58Shen Yun-King, you'd better think this through. Marrying a beggar means ruining your own future.
00:09:03A future isn't built on status alone, but on character and virtue. Qi Yu may be dressed plainly, but he
00:09:09seems approachable, well-mannered, and may well make a fine match.
00:09:13You, the rules of the embroidered ball toss have already been set. Even if Master Shen wishes to go back
00:09:19on his word now, it's too late.
00:09:21That's right. If 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. The Shen family's future glory will
00:09:34have nothing to do with you.
00:09:36I understand, Father. All right, everyone, move along. Always crowding around for a spectacle. Honestly.
00:09:43The show's over. Time to go home.
00:09:46Young Master Murong! Young Master Murong, please wait!
00:09:48Young Master Murong, would you kindly come to the Shen residence to discuss the wedding?
00:09:56Let's go. Right this way, please.
00:09:59Sister, don't say I didn't warn you. Marrying a beggar for the rest of your life, you'll forever be beneath
00:10:05me.
00:10:05Perhaps you should worry about yourself first. Life at the Murong residence won't be as easy as you imagine.
00:10:19You-
00:10:20Make way! Make way!
00:10:21Make way!
00:10:37Oh heavens, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?
00:10:41I'm fine. See? I'm perfectly all right.
00:10:43I'm so sorry. I'm truly sorry.
00:10:45It wasn't on purpose. Be 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. So why not?
00:11:00Very well. I'll be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today. Her dowry includes gold inlaid gemstones, phoenix hairpins, a pair, one EC pearl
00:11:16flower crown, a pair of jade bracelets, twenty bolts of shoe brocade, and three land deeds for silk shops in
00:11:24the east of the city.
00:11:27The second Miss Shen's dowry is worth a fortune, yet the eldest Miss Shen got nothing at all. Both daughters
00:11:32of the Shen family want a stark difference. Haven't you heard? The second Miss Shen is marrying the Murong residence's
00:11:38second young master, while the eldest Miss Shen is marrying a beggar. How could they be treated the same?
00:11:43If my sister truly marries a beggar, she'll toil for the rest of her life. I wonder if she'll adapt.
00:11:49The groom is here!
00:11:53Worthy of the Murong's second young master, what a grand procession. The Murong residence holds immense power. Once the second
00:12:00Miss Shen marries in, she'll live in endless luxury.
00:12:03But Shen Yun-King, marrying the beggar, that'll be quite the spectacle.
00:12:07Here he comes!
00:12:14Greetings, father and mother.
00:12:16Rise, rise, son-in-law.
00:12:19This bridal procession of yours is a rare spectacle in all of Shang-Ching. That shower is so valued by
00:12:25you as an honor for our Shen family.
00:12:27Young master Murong has arrived, yet there's no sign of the other groom. If I were him, I'd bury myself
00:12:33underground and never show my face.
00:12:34Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly past. Your husband still hasn't come for you. Perhaps he doesn't intend to come
00:12:41at all.
00:12:41He's here! He's here! The groom is here!
00:12:48The groom finally came.
00:12:49What I promised you, I will fulfill.
00:12:57We...
00:13:00I'm terribly sorry for arriving late.
00:13:02What on earth are you wearing? Before all these guests, you're making me lose face!
00:13:07Today is her wedding day after all. And this beggar shows up dressed like this to claim his bride. How
00:13:12can my sister not find this humiliating?
00:13:16Marriage is a lifelong matter. What matters is sincerity, not appearances. The one I, Shen Yun-King have chosen, will
00:13:22never be swayed by others' words.
00:13:24Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:13:26Don't be angry, master. Once Yun-King leaves, she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family.
00:13:31The auspicious hour has come. The bride may board the Sudan.
00:13:38Minister Zhang has arrived!
00:13:43You're much! Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:47What an honor to have Minister Zhang grace us with his presence. Pardon us.
00:13:51Heaven rewards the devoted. It truly does. Congratulations, Master Shen.
00:13:56Thank 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 husband's
00:14:13home.
00:14:13Well, today is certainly an eye-opener.
00:14:16Indeed, unlike my husband.
00:14:18very care for us.
00:14:25My lady. Let's go home.
00:14:30Wait!
00:14:45Wait!кеern
00:14:48Shen Yun-King, once I'm an imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
00:15:04So this is where you live?
00:15:19This is the place you found for me.
00:15:21Your Majesty, didn't you say it had to match your current status?
00:15:25This is far too run down. Is this even livable? I was afraid you'd blow your cover!
00:15:34I'm sorry you have to put up with this, staying in such a dump. How about we?
00:15:38Give it a good cleaning? It's actually quite spacious. It'll be cozy once we settle in. From now on, this
00:15:44is our home.
00:15:44Home. Our home. The eldest Shen daughter is so remarkably virtuous, far better than all those noble ladies the Dowager
00:15:53Empress chose for me.
00:15:56Shen Yun-King, I don't have much to offer right now. This jade pendant was given to me by my
00:16:04father before he passed. Now I'm giving it to you.
00:16:08You're giving me something so precious?
00:16:15Yes, rest assured. I'll keep it safe.
00:16:19His Majesty gave away his personal jade pendant. Does he truly love Shen Yun-King?
00:16:27Shen Yun-Thomas
00:16:27Shen Yun
00:16:27Shen Yun
00:16:48Oh, my God.
00:17:22This bed is far too hard.
00:17:39Now it's hotty.
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.
00:18:10Your 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?
00:18:24You're much?
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?
00:18:32I'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 Yun 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.
00:19:21As Yun King'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.
00:19:31Jeju is home entertaining guests.
00:19:33I better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:36Father never approved of Chiyu'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.
00:20:02Father.
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?
00:20:15Could it be?
00:20:16You're afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you.
00:20:18So you wouldn't even let him come back with you.
00:20:22My 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 lowlifes.
00:20:42If you brought her to our Mulong 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, Mulong-an!
00:20:57On our wedding night, he went to the pleasure houses, and everyone found out about it.
00:21:02He humiliated me completely.
00:21:04Chowr!
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 Mulong escorted Chowr home for the visit.
00:21:26Your 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.
00:21:47Carry 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.
00:21:54But 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.
00:22:18Ha ha!
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.
00:22:33Even the gifts you present are a perfect match.
00:22:37Never mind, never mind.
00:22:39She 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 Shangjing knows that Shen Yunqing 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.
00:23:31To 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 truly married a fine husband.
00:23:43Such 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 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.
00:24:42I'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 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.
00:25:09Let's go!
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.
00:25:24You want to leave?
00:25:25Fine.
00:25:25Unless you no-tow your way around all of Vermilion Bird Street on your knees,
00:25:30telling 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.
00:25:45The Shen family is still alive.
00:25:45Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:46Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:49Mother.
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.
00:26:05The consort selection?
00:26:06You may decide, mother.
00:26:07Since you are well, I'll take my lead.
00:26:12Your Majesty, the memorials have been piling up for days.
00:26:15If you delay any further, urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:18Please put state affairs first, Your Majesty.
00:26:20After reviewing them, you can still reach Shen Residence 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, have 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!
00:27:33Give it back now!
00:27:33That 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?
00:27:53Guarding 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.
00:28:10But first you must sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:28:13You, father, will you let Shen Yunqiao 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, and that is Xiao Er.
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 Yunking, 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?
00:29:08Why 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, 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? Speak!
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?
00:30:07Come on, the Dowager Empress said.
00:30:16Pyah!
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, the 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?
00:30:39It 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.
00:30:52I won't let his gift be desecrated.
00:30:56Fine.
00:30:57I'll walk.
00:31:20For the sake of a beggar, you'd actually go this far.
00:31:24You've truly lost your mind.
00:31:25Pyah!
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.
00:31:39No 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.
00:32:16No wonder.
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.
00:32:46He 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, would your beloved husband still want you?
00:33:22You!
00:33:23What are you doing glaring at me like that?
00:33:25I warned you long ago.
00:33:27Marrying 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?

00:55:37you're all dead
00:55:39your majesty
00:55:41you're the emperor

00:56:00he's not the emperor
00:56:01then why is yunik yuen lu show him such deference
00:56:04yunik yuen lu 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
00:56:15he'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 yaochi

00:57:04as for you
00:57:08i wonder who's backing her and what their status really is
00:57:11consorting with a guard is a grave offense
00:57:14yet 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
00:57:23was hushed up
00:57:26tell me if the emperor found out
00:57:29someone stole his jade pendant
00:57:31what 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
00:58:22my
00:58:22my face
00:58:25you stupid fool
00:58:26what did you put in that bowl
00:58:28i i got this recipe from a taoist
00:58:30he said that after consuming it
00:58:32it would beautify the skin
00:58:35i only meant well for you auntie wang
00:58:38i was simply foolish for a moment
00:58:40an item of unknown origin
00:58:41and you dared serve it to someone
00:58:43what's going on inside that head of yours
00:58:46please forgive me
00:58:47i won't do it again
00:58:52luckily it was just an allergy and not life threatening
00:58:55but the rash on her face won't fade quickly
00:58:57guards
00:58:59drag her away and sell her off to a slave trader
00:59:02please spare me auntie
00:59:11auntie wang perhaps you could let me try
00:59:13you i've studied medical texts and can prepare remedies perhaps i can ease the rash on your face
00:59:20if my method works please spare jing shang's life
00:59:29his majesty hasn't paid any attention to me in ages
00:59:32yet i hear he has time to visit the bureau of palace servants
00:59:36who in the bureau of palace servants could have his majesty so preoccupied
00:59:42it's not me
00:59:44even if i had the nerve of a lion
00:59:46i wouldn't dare seduce his majesty
00:59:50now i remember
00:59:51yes
00:59:52someone at the bureau has that kind of nerve
00:59:56shen yun king
00:59:57if the noble consort thinks you're the one seducing his majesty
01:00:01let's see how arrogant you'll be then
01:00:06you need only wait six hours
01:00:08and the rash on your face will disappear
01:00:12it does look a bit unsightly
01:00:14but the rash does seem to be fading away
01:00:18you do have some skill
01:00:20thank you for the kind words

01:00:42you're not so bad really
01:00:45just a bit sharp-tongued that's all
01:00:50your majesty i believe that
01:00:52his majesty's resolve to make her empress is no mere impulse
01:00:57genuine king truly possesses remarkable qualities
01:01:09it's her
01:01:19you're the one who seduced his majesty
01:01:25with that seductive fox face of hers
01:01:27no wonder she can't behave herself
01:01:29it's one thing for his majesty to find a bride outside
01:01:32but since when
01:01:33be the likes of you
01:01:35you lowly wretches dare to harbor such impudent thoughts
01:01:45when did shen yunking ever seduce his majesty

01:02:29please my lady have mercy on us
01:02:31let you go

01:06:51she told me a palace maid was seducing his majesty
01:06:54and i lost my composure
01:06:55miss jiao it was clearly you who told me to silence
01:06:59if you wretched slave hadn't misled me
01:07:01how would i have made such a grave offense
01:07:05dowager empress i am innocent
01:07:07innocent of what
01:07:08you were the one who incited us to bully shen yun king
01:07:11you spread that rumor about her
01:07:13that was you too

01:07:39so
01:07:40you are the shen family's eldest
01:07:55shen yun king
01:07:57shen yun
01:07:59the dowager didn't punish you
01:08:01of course not
01:08:02she discussed the spring banquet with me
01:08:04asking if i had any thoughts on it
01:08:08that's a relief
01:08:13what is it
01:08:16shen yun king has passed the test
01:08:21so then may i tell her the truth
01:08:23and about making her empress
01:08:25there's no rush for that
01:08:26the spring festival banquet is next month
01:08:29the ministry can't handle both at once
01:08:31they simply don't have the manpower
01:08:33besides
01:08:34this is all too sudden
01:08:35i worry that the other ministers will object
01:08:42i suggest
01:08:44we let shen yun king organize the spring banquet
01:08:48if she can manage the banquet well
01:08:50it will not only prove her capability
01:08:52but also justify
01:08:54crowning her empress
01:08:55the dowager wants you to run the spring festival banquet
01:09:00me
01:09:02but i don't know how to do any of this

01:10:30shen yun king

01:10:47your majesty something terrible

01:10:51what
01:10:54shen yun king come with me to the discipline office
01:11:08sir what's the situation inside

01:11:30please lift my punishment
01:11:32this place i truly cannot bear another day
01:11:34very well
01:11:35with your temperament
01:11:36the discipline office serves no purpose anyway
01:11:41i 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
01:11:55yun kiao is indeed my sister
01:11:56but the two of us have seldom been close
01:11:58we share no deep bond
01:12:00as for yun kiao's affairs it is not my place to interfere
01:12:02i leave it entirely to your majesty
01:12:04your majesty
01:12:05i believe that shen yun kiao is kind-hearted
01:12:08perhaps there has been some misunderstanding
01:12:11very well
01:12:12she has been in the discipline office long enough
01:12:15and seems to have changed somewhat
01:12:17then let her leave the discipline office for now
01:12:20thank you for your grace your majesty
01:12:22jowanner
01:12:23though i have lifted your punishment
01:12:25i never said you were free to go

01:13:00it's only been a moment and you've already forgotten your pain
01:13:04if you hadn't insisted on crossing me
01:13:06how would you have ended up like this
01:13:09i thought you'd truly become a phoenix
01:13:11but you're still a pheasant
01:13:13it seems the emperor never gave you a proper title
01:13:16what do you mean by that
01:13:21drop the act
01:13:22weren't you with his majesty
01:13:23shen yun king
01:13:25shen yun king
01:13:26the dowager empress wants you gone
01:13:27she has more orders for you
01:13:34shen yun king

01:13:38brother please just let me go out
01:13:40i'm cooped up here every day
01:13:41one of these days
01:13:42i'll lose my mind from it
01:13:44you dare complain
01:13:45if you and shen yun kiao hadn't been so foolish
01:13:48we wouldn't have provoked his majesty
01:13:49and i wouldn't have lost my position
01:13:52if you ask me
01:13:53it's all that wretch yun kiao's fault
01:13:55husband

01:14:00i don't have to stay there anymore
01:14:02you've brought this ruin upon us
01:14:03and you dare come back
01:14:05brother
01:14:05the one who wronged you is shen yun king
01:14:07instead of blaming each other
01:14:09why not think of a way to deal with her
01:14:11shen yun king
01:14:11she's probably already a consort by now
01:14:14how can we fight her
01:14:15i saw her at that office
01:14:17we spoke face to face
01:14:18shen yun king is just a lowly palace maid now
01:14:21she's no threat at all
01:14:23a palace maid
01:14:24did his majesty marry her on a whim
01:14:27if his majesty truly cared for her
01:14:29how could he bear to make her a servant
01:14:31i've already thought it through
01:14:32the spring banquet is early next month
01:14:34all the nobles and aristocrats
01:14:36will be invited to the palace to attend
01:14:38this is our only chance

01:15:07delicious
01:15:08have more if you like it
01:15:09plenty more in the palace
01:15:11only because our seats are so remote this time that no one patrols here
01:15:14otherwise we could never meet so openly like this
01:15:18shen yun king
01:15:22once the banquet is over
01:15:24i have something to tell you
01:15:26all right
01:15:27i'll be right here waiting
01:15:35husband look
01:15:40shen yun king
01:15:42she's actually with a guard
01:15:47you're on duty today
01:15:48hurry back now
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 yun king
01:16:07forgotten your brother-in-law
01:16:09what barely cast aside by his majesty and already tangled up with a guard
01:16:15this is the imperial palace not your shen residence that indulges you
01:16:19your every move will reach his majesty and the dowager empress
01:16:23you've only just been released
01:16:25have you learned nothing
01:16:26my husband and i are invited to the palace banquet honored guests
01:16:30you are nothing but a servant
01:16:33if pleased they may reward you
01:16:35if they are displeased even if you died no one would care
01:16:38what are you doing
01:16:46shen yun kiao haven't you done enough to ruin me
01:16:51as long as you suffer i'm happy
01:16:55you escaped that incident at the shen residence only because you were lucky
01:16:59but now no one is here to protect you
01:17:04greetings your majesty the dowager empress
01:17:14greetings dowager empress
01:17:19shen yun king 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
01:17:33speak i wish to report shen yun king for an affair with a guard
01:17:37i saw it with my own eyes shen yun king and the guard were all over each other
01:17:41when caught she tried to conceal it if she dares to be so bold in broad daylight
01:17:45imagine what she does behind closed doors
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
01:17:58in the palace we rarely met if you had a clear conscience
01:18:01why rush to leave the moment you saw us such an affair means death
01:18:06you may execute me but i beg you to show mercy and spare the young guard's life
01:18:10it was i who asked to meet him
01:18:17ultimately 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 yun king organized the banquet with great devotion
01:18:42her merits offset her fault so her punishment shall be waived
01:18:47hmm
01:18:51shen yun king you may go attend to your duties
01:18:55yes
01:19:04she escaped punishment yet again how is shen yun king always so lucky
01:19:08first the emperor shielded her and now the dowager protects her
01:19:12they even gave her the spring banquet to organize
01:19:14since shen yun king is in charge of the spring banquet that makes things easy
01:19:18your majesty the banquet is over there where are you going the banquet is about to begin

01:20:27i shen yun king greet the prime minister prime minister joe she was in charge of the banquet
01:20:32is her the palace is heavily guarded no one could get in easily shen yun king must have colluded with

01:20:41hmm how dare you you planted an assassin at the banquet to kill the empress what were you scheming
01:20:48everyone i arranged was verified as for how an assassin got in i truly do not know please
