    Episode 8
[02:11] ---
    So you are feeling lion-hearted, hm?
    How dare you stand in my way...
[02:15] ---
    Beauty Chu, His Highness ordered me
    not to admit anyone to see him today.
[02:20] ---
    I am His Highness' favorite
    concubine. Move aside!
[02:23] ---
    P-Please do not make this difficult for me...
[02:32] ---
    Your Highness, are you off to visit someone?
[02:35] ---
    Please take me with you.
[02:38] ---
    Business. Not convenient.
[02:42] ---
    Your Highness!
[02:44] ---
    Your Highness!
[02:48] ---
    In the past, Prince Ye loved only Beauty Chu,
     but see how she is treated now.
[02:52] ---
    Look at the color her face has turned.
[03:09] ---
    I am sorry I hurt you, mistress. I deserve death!
[03:12] ---
    Even you dare to hurt me?
[03:15] ---
    Get out!
[03:16] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[03:22] ---
    Get out! All of you! Get out!
[03:27] ---
    Get out!
[03:30] ---
    What has happened?
[03:32] ---
    Who has angered you so,
    Little Sister Jiao'er?
[03:36] ---
    Have my elder sisters come to mock me?
[03:44] ---
    Little sister appears to be in a bad mood.
[03:46] ---
    Is it because His Highness has a new favorite?
[03:49] ---
    A new favorite?!
[03:51] ---
    A few days ago, His Highness
    brought two girls back with him.
[03:55] ---
    Two little girls have usurped me, Chu Jiao'er?
[04:00] ---
    One of them is in fact
    Princess Ye, Qian Yunshang.
[04:04] ---
    What?!
[04:09] ---
    Does she not reside in the Serenity Pavilion?
[04:13] ---
    Why would he...
[04:16] ---
    Are you all right, little sister?
[04:19] ---
    She is restless with ambition and cunning.
[04:22] ---
    I do not know what witchcraft she has used
    to suddenly attract the gaze of His Highness.
[04:27] ---
    We were all sent here by the empress
    dowager, but your route was different.
[04:32] ---
    You were brought here
    by His Highness himself.
[04:35] ---
    His Highness loved you from the
    moment you set foot in the palace.
[04:38] ---
    His sudden loss of interest in you
    must be related to Princess Ye.
[04:44] ---
    You were orphaned. You rely solely
    on His Highness for food and shelter.
[04:48] ---
    If you fall out of favor...
[04:50] ---
    Our families can still support us,
[04:52] ---
    but my poor little sister, you have no one else...
[04:56] ---
    Qian Yunshang!
[05:09] ---
    Don't hide. Let me put it on you.
[05:12] ---
    My lady, I cannot wear this.
    If someone sees, I will be in trouble—
[05:16] ---
    It looks good on you.
[05:18] ---
    Come on.
[05:27] ---
    Enjoy your self-satisfaction while you can.
[05:34] ---
    Once Father finds Auntie Xue,
    I'll take you to Spirit Cloud Mountain.
[05:38] ---
    The fish there look even
    better than the ones here.
[05:40] ---
    But Auntie Xue was gravely ill
    and did not know what ailed her...
[05:44] ---
    No problem.
[05:45] ---
    My master lives on Spirit Cloud Mountain.
    He'll definitely be able to cure Auntie Xue.
[05:49] ---
    All right.
[05:56] ---
    My lady!
[06:08] ---
    My lady!
[06:13] ---
    Mistress, are you all right?
[06:15] ---
    Forgive... Forgive me.
[06:24] ---
    Que'er!
[06:25] ---
    Who are you?
[06:27] ---
    I'm the one who splashed you.
     Why'd you kick my maid?!
[06:31] ---
    You do not know who you address.
[06:33] ---
    Our mistress is Beauty Chu,
    the most beloved in the palace.
[06:37] ---
    So what if she kicked a maid?
[06:39] ---
    Qiuzhu, do not be so rude.
[06:41] ---
    She is Princess Ye, after all.
[06:43] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[06:44] ---
    So you're Beauty Chu?
    I'm sorry for splashing you.
[06:48] ---
    It is fine. A little dirty water, nothing more.
[06:51] ---
    My lady...
[06:53] ---
    Beauty Chu is merciful.
[06:55] ---
    Que'er, let's go.
[07:00] ---
    Wait.
[07:04] ---
    A maid wearing a flower hairpin
    is a transgression of the rules.
[07:11] ---
    I placed the hairpin in my maid's
     hair. Why should you care?
[07:17] ---
    This is not about my mistress,
    but the rules of the palace.
[07:22] ---
    Since His Highness lets me manage the palace,
[07:25] ---
    I do not dare overlook this.
[07:28] ---
    Please do not make this
    difficult for me, princess.
[07:32] ---
    Qiuzhu, slap her face.
[07:34] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[07:39] ---
    Don't you dare!
[07:41] ---
    If you want to talk rules, I'm the
    princess and you're just a concubine.
[07:45] ---
    So you should be listening to me.
[07:47] ---
    You didn't bow or kneel when you saw me,
[07:49] ---
    so shouldn't I be punishing you?
[07:52] ---
    You are nothing but a title.
[07:54] ---
    You really think you matter?
[07:56] ---
    My lady...
[07:59] ---
    Mistress Yunxi!
[08:01] ---
    It's fine as long as she doesn't bully anyone.
[08:03] ---
    Stop talking crap and help me out like before.
[08:08] ---
    Since Beauty Chu is so strict
    about the palace rules,
[08:11] ---
    I won't argue any longer.
[08:14] ---
    If you must punish her, go ahead.
[08:16] ---
    Qiuzhu.
[08:18] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[08:28] ---
    Stop!
[08:29] ---
    Stop immediately!
[08:32] ---
    My... My face...
[08:36] ---
    Are you okay, mistress?
[08:37] ---
    Why would Beauty Chu's face be...
[08:40] ---
    You did great!
[08:42] ---
    When don't we?
[08:50] ---
    Excellent work.
[08:52] ---
    With such fine horses, we can be more
    confident of winning a battle with the West.
[08:56] ---
    Your praise honors me.
[08:58] ---
    If His Imperial Majesty permits it,
    increased breeding will yield more gains.
[09:02] ---
    But thus far...
[09:04] ---
    Father should be supporting us,
[09:06] ---
    but it would be politically
    inconvenient to do so directly.
[09:10] ---
    Then, what should we do?
    Continue breeding them at a snail's pace?
[09:13] ---
    Lanshuang's birthday is in two days.
    Everyone will be there to celebrate it.
[09:17] ---
    If we can get his permission then,
    everything will run more smoothly.
[09:26] ---
    You... What kind of witchcraft did you use?!
[09:30] ---
    Since you're done slapping and enforcing
     the rules, this matter ends here.
[09:34] ---
    We're leaving.
[09:36] ---
    Stop... Stop them!
[09:41] ---
    Your Highness, please stay.
[09:44] ---
    What makes you think you can stop me?
[09:48] ---
    You witch...
[09:49] ---
    You are going nowhere
    until you explain everything!
[09:52] ---
    Why is it so noisy here?
[09:57] ---
    Greetings, Your Highness.
[09:59] ---
    Greetings, General Xuan.
[10:06] ---
    Mochi? Sesame?
[10:08] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:11] ---
    Your Highness...
[10:20] ---
    My lady, we should greet them, too.
[10:23] ---
    What happened to your face?
[10:25] ---
    I was taking a turn around the garden,
[10:28] ---
    and I do not know how I offended the princess,
    but she splashed me with dirty water.
[10:33] ---
    And that is not all.
[10:34] ---
    The princess also used witchcraft to hurt me.
[10:37] ---
    Witchcraft?
[10:38] ---
    I saw her maid, Que'er, wearing flowers,
     a transgression of the rules.
[10:42] ---
    So I bade Qiuzhu to slap her. I do not know
     why I was the one who was harmed...
[10:47] ---
    Please, Your Highness, get justice for me.
[10:49] ---
    It is true, Your Highness.
    We saw it with our own eyes.
[10:52] ---
    I definitely slapped the maid, Que'er.
[10:55] ---
    I do not know what the princess did,
    but my mistress' face was struck instead.
[10:58] ---
    I see.
[11:00] ---
    Tie up the maid, Que'er,
    and slap her thirty times.
[11:04] ---
    Wait. For what reason?
    This is unprovoked assault!
[11:08] ---
    For what reason?
[11:10] ---
    You choose to defy me over a maid?
[11:16] ---
    This is also the quickest
    way to verify the claims.
[11:18] ---
    If I want her dead, she will not see tomorrow.
[11:25] ---
    Do not be angry, Your Highness! It was all
    my fault! Please do not blame the princess!
[11:31] ---
    Slap her face now.
[11:34] ---
    Yes, Your Highness.
[11:53] ---
    I am unharmed.
[12:00] ---
    Let me go!
[12:05] ---
    I splashed the water and put the
     flower in her hair. I did all of it.
[12:09] ---
    It has nothing to do with Que'er.
    If you want to punish someone, punish me.
[12:15] ---
    Do not be angry, Highness.
[12:16] ---
    The princess' status is noble and mine is low.
[12:20] ---
    How could I subject the
    princess to such a grievance?
[12:23] ---
    There are rules within the palace.
[12:25] ---
    They apply to everyone equally,
    regardless of title or status.
[12:30] ---
    Beauty Chu can overlook what happened,
    and plead on the princess' behalf.
[12:33] ---
    She is a model of virtue.
[12:36] ---
    Your praise honors me, General Xuan.
[12:41] ---
    See, Brother Ye?
[12:42] ---
    There is no witchcraft, and Beauty Chu
    has chosen to let the matter rest.
[12:46] ---
    Plus, the maid has been slapped.
    Why not drop the matter?
[12:50] ---
    I... That is not quite what I meant...
[12:55] ---
    Beauty Chu, you are so dignified and generous.
[12:58] ---
    Were you not trying to turn
    a major dispute into a minor one?
[13:02] ---
    Of course.
[13:04] ---
    I hope His Highness can forgive the princess...
[13:08] ---
    Then, all is well.
[13:10] ---
    The punishment has been carried out.
    I also admire your noble morals.
[13:15] ---
    B-But... if Your Highness insists
     on punishing the princess,
[13:20] ---
    I would not dare to oppose
    Your Highness' judgment.
[13:24] ---
    As you wish to drop the matter,
    I have no desire to spend more time on it.
[13:31] ---
    I will overlook it this time.
[13:35] ---
    You are merciful, Highness!
[13:37] ---
    Princess...
[13:39] ---
    Let's go.
[13:43] ---
    Stop.
[13:46] ---
    Did I say you could leave?
[13:49] ---
    We are no longer needed. Why can't we leave?
[13:52] ---
    Lock the princess in the firewood storehouse
    for three days to reflect on her actions.
[13:58] ---
    Relay the following order:
[14:00] ---
    No one may bring them
    food for those three days.
[14:03] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[14:06] ---
    Que'er, are you okay?
[14:08] ---
    It was only a few slaps. Nothing major.
[14:11] ---
    I swear to you, I will get justice for you!
[14:14] ---
    My lady, I do not need justice.
    Please do not offend others again.
[14:19] ---
    But Que'er...
[14:21] ---
    My lady...
[14:23] ---
    My life is worthless.
[14:25] ---
    You must not enrage the prince for my sake.
[14:28] ---
    In the palace, His Highness is
     the only one you can rely on.
[14:33] ---
    You have to learn to endure.
[14:35] ---
    Please, I beg you...
[14:39] ---
    Mistress Yunxi!
[14:41] ---
    Sesame? Mochi?
[14:44] ---
    My lady, who are you talking to?
[14:47] ---
    Mistress Yunxi, are you all right?
[14:51] ---
    Awesome! You guys brought food!
[14:55] ---
    The food flew out of thin air!
[15:00] ---
    Less gawping, more eating.
[15:01] ---
    Hold up, I have something
    important to tell you.
[15:04] ---
    I'm sure of it now.
[15:06] ---
    The one restricting my power is Ye Youming.
[15:09] ---
    Whenever he's present,
    I can't use my powers.
[15:11] ---
    You need to find a way to get close to him
     and see if he has a gold ring inlaid with jade.
[15:16] ---
    It'll have a dragon pattern
    engraved on the inside of it.
[15:21] ---
    What?
[15:21] ---
    Get close to him? Not happening!
[15:25] ---
    He saved you before.
[15:28] ---
    Can't you just bury the hatchet?
[15:38] ---
    Okay, since you guys
    remembered to bring me food,
[15:42] ---
    I'll keep my eye out for it.
[15:44] ---
    Great!
[15:51] ---
    Qiuzhu, do you understand
    why you are being punished?
[15:54] ---
    I do... understand...
[15:58] ---
    It is all... the princess' fault!
[16:01] ---
    Correct.
[16:02] ---
    All right, you may stop.
    Come, clean and dress me.
[16:06] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[16:08] ---
    That unloved princess deserves to be
    locked in the firewood storehouse.
[16:11] ---
    Despite being the most
    favored in the palace,
[16:14] ---
    I still must be extremely
    respectful to His Highness.
[16:16] ---
    She dares to offend him again and again,
    and thinks too highly of herself.
[16:21] ---
    Well, I think she will not draw attention
    to herself so much from now on.
[16:25] ---
    Still, we must never lower our guard.
[16:27] ---
    I shall expose her witchcraft
     in front of His Highness,
[16:30] ---
    so that His Highness will divorce her.
[16:32] ---
    Could some aberration have latched on to her
    when she resided in the Serenity Pavilion?
[16:37] ---
    The Serenity Pavilion?
[16:39] ---
    Qiuzhu, you will go to the
    Taoist Temple tomorrow,
[16:42] ---
    and invite all the most famous
    Taoists here on my behalf.
[16:46] ---
    Yes, mistress. I will go do so in the morning.
[16:53] ---
    What is it? Is what I said
    still not clear enough?
[16:56] ---
    I do not understand, Highness.
[16:58] ---
    You wished to interrogate the princess
    before, yet now, you desire an investigation.
[17:02] ---
    This is most...
[17:04] ---
    Do I have to explain everything?
    Just follow my instructions.
[17:09] ---
    Yes, Highness.
[17:13] ---
