Your Royal Highness

Leave me alone.

Go.

Your Royal Highness

All my fault.

I should have listened to you.

This year...

Fengen.

Good luck.

Your Royal Highness

You...

Good luck.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Just now his Royal Highness...

Reading the poem.

Your Grace.

You are going to leave here?

Minister Lu leaves and prince Qi stays.

This is the only way out.

Otherwise Li Baizhou won't leave teacher and me alone.

Before the teacher leaves the capital safely, never mind him.

It's so suspicious.

Things become like this, so we can't go on investigating.

And we need to blame all the charges on Zhao.

Now I am the one who spares the rat to save the dishes.

I didn't expect Li Baizhou could have the countermeasure.

No wonder he led the army.

He even embattled the exam hall.

What are you thinking about?

They only found one copy from Xu Changping's exam room, right?

Yes

What are you thinking about?

Let's go

Please

I really didn't expect you would come back in advance.

I have drained all the profit in Fuchun.

Why do I still stay there?

So I come back to see my prince.

I and princess have eaten grandpa's fish.

Chancellor also has his share.

This time, we can't buy off the three students

without your pretty penny.

The scholars are troublesome.

Soon my prince will have the jade belt.

To be frank, this time examinee Xu should take the most credit.

Examinee Xu.

Chancellor.

Earl Anping.

Prince.

This time, you should take the most credit.

The mislabelling is so excellent.

You are so helpful to the prince.

I am flattered.

Thank you for your compliment.

Xu, don't worry.

I will explain this to his Majesty.

You are innocent and crown prince forced you.

I will tell you the paper in advance when the spring exam begins.

Thank you very much.

But no need.

I will pass the exam with or without the paper.

You did all these because you hold a grudge with Lu Shiyu?

I never see minister Lu, let alone the grudge?

Not with Lu Shiyu.

So he is...

Chancellor.

I have one unreasonable demand.

Zhao.

Thank you

This is the only thing I can do for the late master.

You may rest in peace.

After I die, I will tell the late master in the afterlife,

that you have grown up.

Young master.

It's full of risks, you need to take care.

Take care.

Brother, brother

Brother.

Call brother.

Brother, brother

It's time to get up.

Brother.

Brother, time to get up.

Bad brother

Wenjin.

Go.

Time to get up.

Crown prince, time to get up.

Wenjin.

Pinch his nose.

I got you...

Brother.

Pinch my nose?

It's 7 o'clock.

Wake up...

I need the unprotected sleep after paying visit to father.

Today we have no levee.

You are so annoying.

But today, we will have the announcement of examination result.

You stayed up again?

Preparing for the court test?

Brother, you are tired.

Please have a good appetite.

Smell good.

Your Royal Highness

Jia Yibo you are so brave today.

This is 50 scores right?

It's so common to see.

Won't eat together?

Didn't sleep well last night?

His Royal Highness practised archery last night.

Qingming festival draws near.

Archery banquet comes again.

Last year, we defeated prince Qi?

And...

Now you know to make a hasty last-minute effort.

It's so...

No littering.

You come here so early, what are you up to?

See the result.

You should buy the list.

I am impatient.

You should tell them to see it for you.

Take it away.

I want to go by myself.

Just go.

I don't dare to go by myself.

What if I failed?

I will have no one who can comfort me.

Stop it.

The chief examiner is He Daoran right?

I won't go.

Brother.

Today the exam result will come out.

As I know all the girls will go to see it.

I want to go, too

I want to go, too

No.

Why?

Why?

The capital is not like other cities.

You are a girl, how can you run around?

And dad will come here soon.

I wonder to know how he will criticize you

after he knows what you did in the ministry of justice.

He won't.

I am not a girl.

Can I go?

Come.

Well, A'xi.

Who is the one standing beside you that day?

I have said, I don't know.

You are so impatient to go out, so you...

What nonsense are you talking about?

You and your sister should stay at home.

I will bring you some candies.

I won't eat this.

I want to eat candy.

I am not done with eating, A'xi.

A'xi.

Sister, sister

A'xi.

Wait for me.

You really don't go?

No.

So I will go with Lu Wenpu.

What a pity!

All the girls in the capital will go.

So let alone the family, right?

Now or never.

Wait.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

I will handle it...

Is my hat right?

Yes.

Come...

Laugh?

You say Lu Wenpu is dignified right?

I am afraid, you might fall off.

You will push yourself hard.

See the result.

Come.. Make way...

Crown prince.

How about it?

Another three years.

Another three years, you will pass the exam.

I will graduate from imperial college.

Come, have a good look.

The second column, the ninth, Gu Fengen

It's my luminous name.

God.

There is something wrong with your eyes, luminous?

Crown prince.

After I become an official, I will assist you.

Good

Till then, don't blame me if you do something wrong.

I will point at your faults like all loyal ministers.

Be my guest.

Do what you should.

What are you doing?

Come...

Come...

And till then, you need to change my name.

Change your name?

No, unless you have uncle's consent.

The coxcombs never starve themselves.

But most of the erudite are obscure.

Fengen. Sounds like the chicken rib.

I don't care.

I want my name Chengru.

Stay away from me

Who are you? So many people pass the exam

but none of them is like you.

Hurry.

I am different from them.

My result is better than theirs.

So you think it's such a shame to live on my family?

But to be honest.

In ther future, if I am put on the spot because of you,

I will be even with you.

What about him?

He can pass so easily.

Who cares about him?

No, I mean...

His...

His sister?

She is not here.

Why did you take me here in the early morning?

I pried into it.

He said he sister was occupied.

You are here to see I pass the exam.

Gu Fengen, I

No, you can't be here to see I pass the exam?

Believe it or not, I will whip you now.

Stop there.

No.

Don't press.

It's the classic butterfly style.

It will crack from inside.

It's whirlwind binding.

The pages are glued.

Be careful.

Leave it to me.

Yes

His Grace is so ridiculous.

He is going home.

Why bother shine the books?

I met your brother yesterday and we had a little talk.

He remembers this.

It's about the plum rain season when minister gets home.

Then he can't shine the book this year.

The sunshine is great in capital.

But it's a little windy.

Hurry, go get some screens.

Today the exam result will be announced.

You come here insteading of being with your brother.

He disallowed me.

I would rather stay with you.

Why?

He is afraid I will laugh at him if he fails.

Over self-esteem is pride.

It will be so irritating.

Your brother won't fail.

I see this coming.

Failed.

Failed?

No your name.

Have you seen it clearly?

Get off.

Zhang Shaoyun.

Z-H-O-N-G.

S-H-A-O, Y-U-N.

I checked it three times.

I still can't see your name.

You are making fun of your young master, right?

Are you happy now?

Check it again.

Zhang Shaoyun.

Zhang Luzheng's son?

Yes.

It will so ridiculous if he could pass the exam.

This is minister of justice's son right?

If Zhang passes the exam, I really doubt it.

Brother Lu.

We pass the exam despite all the setbacks.

But your name is still there no matter what happens.

So admiring.

Congratulations, brother Lu.

Thank you...

Congratulations, brother Lu.

Am I right?

Hold your tongue.

I am telling the truth.

If his name is on it, the list will lose the reputation.

Enough.

Who is it?

So outrageous.

Stand out.

Young master.

It's Lu Wenpu

His mouth moved.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Please.

So ridiculous.

His dad has confrontation with my dad.

Now he has confrontation with me.

You.

Brother Lu.

The beauty seems in the middle of the water.

I don't know Zhang Luzheng's personality for sure.

But he is spell able.

How can he have such a son?

So nice.

Great.

It comes down to destiny.

Come, have a look.

Brother Lu.

Official Zhang's son on the land.

And the official Lu's son in the water

Their dads are minister Lu's students.

But they are incompatible in the court.

Lu Ying was banished for five years because of Zhang's scheme.

Now he could come back.

See.

Dare to say evil words behind me.

Are you happy now?

You.

Thank you.

Why so familiar?

You dare to beat me?

Arrest him.

She is mine.

You want to soak yourself till the court test?

Behind you.

Brother Gu.

I tell you, pull me back.

In the past, I would ask for your mercy.

But now I am not afraid of you,

do you know who is my brother in law in the future?

None of my business

My brother-in-law is the crown prince.

What?

Go..

Brother Gu.

So we are kinda relatives.

You help the nasty thing instead of me.

How dare you!

Who is your...

Zhang Shaoyun.

You dare to spread the rumor here,

so you are not afraid of being beheaded?

Not at all.

Do you know who told me?

Why don't you say it's the emperor?

Not the emperor.

Tell you

It's your dad, Wu Dehou.

I

Young master.

Young master.

What are you waiting for?

Take him.

Go

Make way.

Stop...

Come back, pull me up.

Stop.

Don't run.

Wu Dehou wants Zhang's daughter to be the princess?

Zhang Luzheng's two daughters are old enough to get married.

You know, I am Wu Dehou's student.

So he told me about this.

Among the provincial departments,

only ministry of justice is not in Li Baizhou's hands.

If Zhang Luzheng stands on his side,

the military department will listen to the important officials.

His Royal Highness will be in danger.

Am I right?

This is why I called Lu Zihua back.

I see it coming.

He has been experiencing a lot outside for these years.

I think he is more prudent.

I hope he can move forward

and be the leader free from corruption.

Marriage is a lifelong matter.

Especially for the royal family.

So I am here to see you.

You are different from us.

You are the teacher of the crown prince.

You are also Zhang Luzheng's teacher.

If you can recommend, we will have better odds.

Zhang's daughter marries the crown prince.

So outrageous.

He is an idiot

He talks nonsense.

Never mind him.

Zhang Luzheng is my teacher's student.

I will go ask my teacher.

If his Majesty knows you come to see minister Lu,

So I go from the back door.

So rude.

Why?

Teacher has no girls at home.

Who is this?

Imperial minister's daughter.

She is here to shine the books for minister Lu.

Daughter?

Don't look.

And you?

I will beat you to death if you come out.

Stop.

Your makeup is ruined again?

People should stand straight and keep dignified.

I didn't dress myself up.

So I don't dare to see the prince.

You are so considerate.

Remember your dad doesn't know mandarin language well.

You are better than him in engage in politics.

Your Royal Highness

Is this a compliment?

In brazen face, you also outcompete your dad.

I beg your leave.

Don't go.

I won't cross the line, if you mind.

Today the exam result comes out,

Why don't you go to see your brother?

He disallowed me.

Why?

You did the painting?

Yes.

Fortunately, I have your seal.

Your Royal Highness

Why your poem is not finished?

We can't describe all people and feelings in one time sometimes.

Your Royal Highness

Actually, I have no talent in poem.

If you don't mind, please help me with it.

No.

Either for the poem or for the calligraphy.

Your Royal Highness

The calligraphy is...

No.

I should ask you and you should answer me.

I remember the last time I saw this painting, I was trying to ask you.

Yes

This painting

You did the painting in Sichuan when you were with your dad?

Yes

You began to miss the mountains and rivers when you drew it?

Yes

Because I know I will leave.

How could you tell?

In fact, it's also true for people.

You miss someone even if he is front of you.

Your Royal Highness

Zhang's daughter marries the crown prince.

No.

Why?

The crown prince will be the emperor.

So princess' dad will be the emperor's dad in law.

Zhang Luzheng is capable without virtue.

He can't be the emperor's dad in law.

If it's true, the crown prince will quench a thirst with poison.

You called Lu back.

Not just need him to be the leader free from corruption right?

His daughter is old enough to get married.

They are both your students, but you still won't be impartial.

No wonder Zhang Luzheng complains about your partiality.

For my students, I am partial, indeed.

But not Lu Zihua.

It's another student.

Your Royal Highness

Madam goes to fetch the water

I don't care.

She is not here.

Tell me about the place in the painting.

The white clouds.

The vast seas.

High mountains and the water flows far.

White cranes fly above the river.

They fly higher and farther.

We can't see them.

The sky and water are as usual.

All the landscape is so beautiful.

I mount high,

remembering something.

Liberation is in praying and mountains and rivers.

At that time, I began to realize, with these mountains and rivers,

our mind will be liberated without being a god.

We can be free even without the wings.

Such a beautiful landscape.

I really want to see it.

You really think so?

Yes.

I really envy you.

The farthest place I have been is the palace outside Chunming gate.

I felt pitiful too before I left.

But my dad told me, we have a long road to go.

We will see it again if it's a destiny.

It's also true for you.

As long as you want, in the future you will see it.

Yes.

So you hope so or you will remember it in your heart?

I don't have a say in this.

Your Royal Highness

It depends on whether you will go with me or not.

Your Royal Highness

Madam, she

goes to fetch the water

Tomorrow afternoon

I will go to Xiangguo Temple.

The teacher's wife won't go to fetch water there, right?

You know how to go there right?

One more thing.

Draw another painting for me.

I want.

Two cranes.

Madam.

So that's it?

Madam.

Book.

That's it.

Untie your sleeves.

Yes

We have seen the bad consequence within royal family's inharmony.

Among the five cardinal relationships,

only the husband and wife will

support each other in the second half of life.

Pros and cons can be weighed or traded.

But not for the human relationship.

Wu Dehou

I am sorry.

I have submitted the memorial to recommend Lu's daughter.

Painting.

She is gone.

Still go to ask minister Lu?

No need.

If it's not her, who else will be?
