Why did Her Majesty suddenly give orders

for you and the Crown Princess to get a divorce?

The envoys' visit

must have made her raise doubts.

Shall we take the opportunity

to make a clear break with the Crown Princess?

You're Crown Prince of Xuanhu City

and she's the Crown Princess of Huayuan City.

Both of you are the future City Owners.

You'll have to go back to Xuanhu City sooner or later.

The two of you are like the general and the marshal on the Chinese chess board,

who can't cross the River of the Chu or the Border of the Han,

let alone meet each other

What if I remove the boundary?

Do you mean

we'll conquer Huayuan City?

If the whole Chinese chess board is yours,

then the Crown Princess

will definitely belong to you.

Young Master,

we're from Xuanhu City, anyway.

Her Majesty has ordered

we should strengthen public security now that Xuanhu City's envoys are here.

Stay alert.

Lord Han,

we're doing this without letting Young Master know.

Will he punish us

if he knows about it?

We're doing it under the orders of the City Owner.

Young Master also needs to listen to his father.

Got it.

Be careful.

It's all explosives inside.

(The Annual Crowd Hunt of Huayuan City)

Qianqian,

why does Han Shuo still stay in your mansion?

I've told you to divorce him.

Mother,

please give me more time.

I don't know why you're into him.

In terms of appearance, moral quality or talent,

Pei Heng is all superior.

Well. It's not a beauty pageant.

I really don't love Pei Heng.

I can understand why Han Shuo misunderstood me. You...

Your Majesty, let me pay my respects.

You'd better not make trouble.

Han Shuo,

please take a seat.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Qianqian.

I'm going to give my regards to your mother.

Go ahead.

Qianqian.

This year,

you'll still get the most prey, right?

Why?

In previous years,

the Second Princess sent most of her prey

to your mansion.

Yeah. Chuchu loves me most.

Qianqian has been unruly and self-willed since childhood

and Pei Heng is gentle and cultivated.

He'll be the most tolerant one towards her.

If the two of them get married,

they'll be a happy couple

everyone admires.

Pitifully...

Pitifully, Qianqian has married me.

Han Shuo,

men in Xuanhu are different from those in Huayuan.

In Xuanhu City, a woman is required to

obey her father before marriage, her husband when married, and her sons in widowhood.

In short, men are in authority over women.

It's just the opposite in Huayuan.

Here, men are appendages to women.

Are you sure

you're willing to become Qianqian's appendage?

Qianqian, don't feel awkward.

I hope

we can get along as before.

As

friends?

Can you try to persuade my mother?

Just tell her you regret it

and you don't want to marry me.

She wouldn't listen to me.

Only if you insist on refusing to marry me

can she give up that idea.

What if I say

I don't want to reject it?

You just said

we could get along as friends.

I also said I'd wait.

Alright.

I mean

I'll wait for the right time

to talk about it with your mother.

Really?

You haven't come out hunting for a long time.

Have a good time today.

I...

I won't let this thing worry you.

Thank you, Pei Heng.

Qianqian and I love each other.

I'm not an appendage to her and vice versa.

You said you loved each other.

How will you prove

your love for Qianqian?

You must have got an idea.

According to rituals of Huayuan City,

a princess's husband must wear

a copper bracelet with the badge of the family

to prove that he belongs to her.

He can't take it off as long as he lives.

You want me to put on the copper bracelet of Huayuan City?

Exactly.

But in Xuanhu City,

only servants and handymen will be labelled.

Besides, as far as I'm concerned,

there hasn't been such a ritual in Huayuan City.

There is now.

Starting from you.

I believe

if it's Pei Heng,

he'll say yes without hesitation.

I'm wondering if you'll wear

a copper bracelet for Qianqian.

What if I say no?

Now that you refuse

to admit your relationship with Qianqian,

why bother staying married?

How about

ending your marriage?

You're pushing me

to let it go first.

Han Shuo,

think about it.

Your Highness,

I wonder what the Crown Princess said

to Mr. Su.

He hasn't been here for several days.

They say

male entertainers are heartless.

It's really the case.

Su Mu is not that kind of person.

Mother.

Yuanyuan.

Chuchu.

Qianqian, you're here.

Let's have a discussion.

The Double Seventh Festival is approaching.

I plan to pick a gentle and kind man

to be Yuanyuan's husband.

Mother, don't worry about me.

These days,

I always felt exhausted.

I'm feeling my age.

I can't always stay by your side.

So, I want to see all of you get married

in my remaining years.

Chuchu,

when Yuanyuan is married,

it'll be your turn.

Me? But I...

But Chuchu has fallen in love with Han Shuo.

Mother,

you'd better pick a guy for Chuchu first.

I'm not interested.

Forget about it.

I'd better get Yuanyuan and Su Mu's issue done first.

Yuanyuan,

you're afraid you can't pick the right guy, right?

I've got an idea.

Let's throw an embroidered ball.

Throw an embroidered ball?

Yuanyuan, trust me.

I have 1,000 ways

to make sure Su Mu gets the ball.

He won't show up.

Don't you want to give it a try?

If he shows up,

it means he likes you too.

Trust me.

At this Double Seventh Festival,

there is no smoke of gunpowder

but ebullition of joy.

The rabbit is so cute.

It'll be tasty if we use it to make Spicy Diced Rabbit.

Go pick it up.

Where are you?

Mr. Rabbit.

I'm sorry.

Chuchu is such a good archer.

Do you want to be braised or steamed,

or become Spicy Diced Rabbit?

Let's go.

Chuchu, one rabbit is enough.

I'm leaving if there is nothing else to do.

Han Shuo, you're a good archer.

Second Princess, you're a better one.

Pitifully, I missed it.

I'm wondering what you want.

We're hunting. Of course, I want my prey.

But Chen Qianqian is your younger sister.

She has long stopped treating me as her sister.

Why do I need to consider her as mine?

It seems you were not drunk

that evening.

Han Shuo,

now that my mother has ordered Qianqian to divorce you,

I can beg her

to let you marry me.

I'll only stay with Chen Qianqian this life.

But it's obvious

Chen Qianqian doesn't like you at all.

She's always changeable and self-willed.

I've seen too much about that since my childhood.

She's going to abandon you

and marry Pei Heng.

Why do you still have illusions about her feelings for you?

It seems you don't know Qianqian well.

And you know even less about me.

Are you so dead set on following her?

If you aim at Qianqian again,

I'll shoot

my second arrow.

Sooner or later,

you'll know she doesn't deserve it.

I shot this rabbit for you.

How will you cook it?

Miss Lin Qi, I don't eat rabbit.

Take it back.

Chen Qianqian.

Why are you here?

Qianqian,

are you here to take a rabbit to me?

There is something you don't know.

Minister Pei doesn't eat rabbit.

I do.

You just told me you didn't.

Su Mu, put the rabbit away.

Did you decide to eat it

just because it's from her?

Chen Qianqian,

you've made him

a topic of conversation for the whole city.

How dare you come here and...

You!

I have something to say to you.

Chen Qianqian!

Su Mu,

why did you not help Yuanyuan

with her rehabilitation recently?

You promised me

you'd take care of her.

Zi Nian always stays by her side.

I'm not irreplaceable.

It's not all about rehabilitation.

The two of you care about each other.

Why don't you take the opportunity

to spend more time with her?

Your Highness, please don't say that.

I'm a man of low origin. How dare I do that?

If others know about it,

the Princess Royal will be discredited.

Your Highness,

please don't mention this issue again.

If you don't tell her how you feel about her,

how can she be determined to throw an embroidered ball?

Mealtime.

Anybody? Guards! Someone broke out of prison!

(Xingzi Mansion)

Come out!

Your Highness.

Su Ziying?

I'm here to assist you.

Assist me?

Haven't you been imprisoned?

How did you escape?

Chen Qianqian is infamous.

She doesn't deserve to be the future City Owner.

Your Highness, don't you want to replace her

and enjoy the highest position

and supreme power?

She's been elected as the Crown Princess.

It has nothing to do with me.

It all depends on human effort, Your Highness.

I'm confident that

I can help you

become the Crown Princess.

While you worked for Chen Qianqian,

you reported she illegally possessed the defense map

and tried to rebel.

And in the end,

instead of getting her into trouble,

you were thrown into prison.

What can you do

to be my aide?

I've got some secret information.

The envoys of Xuanhu City

have taken lots of explosives here.

They'll launch an attack

in the evening of the Double Seventh Festival.

Do you have evidence?

I got this tip-off by accident

in Chen Qianqian's mansion

when I worked for her.

If you believe me,

you can take the opportunity to arrest Han Shuo

and use it as an excuse to accuse Chen Qianqian

so that she will be dethroned.

If you don't believe me,

you can throw me into prison again.

Why do you want to help me?

Your Highness, do you really forget me?

How dare you try to be hired as a lieutenant

by pretending to be a girl.

I'll beat you to death.

I'll beat you to death.

Qianqian, stop it.

Your Highness.

Are you okay?

I'll take you to the doctor.

You were the one who stopped Chen Qianqian

and saved my life.

You also let me heal my wounds at the Pei's Mansion.

At that time,

I made a promise that I'd pay you back.

Thinking back carefully,

I did do this thing.

I admire you from the bottom of my heart.

I'll remain loyal to you.

You just said

Han Shuo and the envoys

had arranged troops in ambush and laid explosives.

Yes, Your Highness.

As long as you prove

Han Shuo intends to conquer Huayuan City,

you'll be able to turn the tables.

In this case,

Han Shuo will definitely lose his life.

But you'll become the Crown Princess with ease.

I serve as the Minister of Defense,

but I couldn't move City Guards without letting my mother know.

How can I cope with Han Shuo

while hiding it from her?

There is one family in the city

whose security guards are brave and battle-wise.

Do you mean the Pei family?

Pei Heng will help me?

(Pei's Mansion)

I've already messed up once.

If I fail again this time,

I'll never win my mother's trust back.

Minister Pei,

this is a secret action,

so I have to ask you for a favor.

Borrow soldiers?

Your Highness, as the Minister of Defense,

you can move troops anytime.

Why do you want to borrow my security guards?

You said

Han Shuo intended to conquer Huayuan City.

Do you have evidence?

I've investigated Xuanhu's envoys in secret

and confirmed the information is correct.

I've marked the locations

where explosives have been laid.

To avoid alerting the enemy,

I'm afraid I can't provide more evidence.

Minister Pei,

as for this matter,

it's better to err on the side of caution.

You also want to prove to Qianqian that

Han Shuo has an ulterior motive, right?

As long as we join hands,

Han Shuo's plan will be destroyed

and Qianqian will awaken to the truth.

Why not do it?

It's about the defense of the city.

I have to report it to the City Owner.

Don't you hope that

Qianqian can't find any excuse to refuse you?

If I lend soldiers to you,

do you have confidence that you can catch Han Shuo?

Young Master Han, if you're ready,

I'll ask the blacksmith to get started.

I have to make things clear beforehand.

The bracelet is like shackles.

Once it's welded,

it's impossible to take it off without leaving serious injuries.

Will the City Owner recall the order

and never mention Qianqian's engagement to Pei Heng

as long as I accept the humiliation?

Please mind your language.

How can you consider the badge of Huayuan City

as a humiliation?

If you're unwilling to do that,

just tell the City Owner

you agree to divorce the Crown Princess.

Do you want to scald him to death?

Stop there.

What a coincidence.

Tomorrow is the Double Seventh Festival.

You want to ask me to go out?

I'm busy tomorrow.

I need to arrange my mother's inspection on a festooned vehicle

and help Yuanyuan with the ceremony of throwing an embroidered ball.

I really have no time left.

Enjoy yourself tomorrow.

I have something to say to you.

No matter what you want to say,

wait till the day after tomorrow.

I'm going back.

Can't you let me finish my words?

Why do you keep avoiding me?

Why do you always brush me off?

Why do you pay no attention to how I feel?

You made me

feel so worthless.

Your mother asked you to divorce me.

You haven't given me an explanation.

Everyone wants us to get a divorce,

but I insist on staying with you like a fool.

If you treat me like that,

how could I persuade myself to keep going?

Then give up.

♪It seems all I have wished for.♪

What did you say?

Repeat it.

All you know is scaring me

and threatening me.

I threaten you?

It turns out I became the one

♪While we are still young?♪

who forced you to marry me.

♪Life is sweet as long as you're with me.♪

♪I hope the dream can come true.♪

You're free to go.

Young Master.

Young Master, you asked us to come here

because you've changed your mind, right?

Now that you've laid explosives

all over the city behind my back,

I have no choice but to do this.

Okay. Great.

These are all the locations with explosives?

Young Master, don't worry.

Nothing will go wrong.

Only when you are one-up

can you get everything you want,

including Chen Qianqian.

Slow down.

Awesome!

(Music and Dance Academy)

These musicians the Music and Dance Academy just bought

are not bad.

Exactly.

Let's go.

Isn't that Lu Peng?

Has he been back?

Now that Su Mu has left the Academy,

Lu Peng will be the best musician here.

Of course, he chose to come back.

Stop looking.

The best is yet to come.

Really?

The Princess Royal will throw an embroidered ball.

Whoever catches it

will marry her.

That's exciting.

Let's go.

Okay.

Is Su Mu there?

Throw it.

Crown Princess.

Throw it. Crown Princess.

Crown Princess.

Crown Princess, Su Mu hasn't shown up.

Will this really work?

It just started. No hurry.

I've sent for him.

Even if he comes,

how do you guarantee he can catch the ball?

Trust me. Yuanyuan, I've got everything arranged.

Zi Rui.

Here.

In a while,

I'll approach Su Mu

with this embroidered ball.

You need to pose like you're going to throw the ball,

but don't really do it.

Cover it with your sleeve like this

and people will think you've thrown it.

Then I'll pass this ball

to Su Mu in secret.

Nobody will find it out.

Does it really work?

Yes. Definitely. It's...

It's called editing thinking.

Let me show you.

I got it!

Got it?

Just show them

how you pose to throw an embroidered ball

and how Su Mu poses to catch it.

Then everyone will think you've thrown a ball

and Su Mu has caught it.

That's it.

Okay!

There he is. Mr. Su is there.

Mr. Su is there.

Hurry.

The Princess Royal shows up.

He's really there.

Princess Royal.

Yuanyuan, I'm going down to see Su Mu.

Look carefully.

Throw the embroidered ball

after I'm by Su Mu's side.

Don't do it

before that.

Got it?

Got it.

We've been waiting so long.

Princess Royal.

Isn't that Su Mu?

Is he also there to catch the embroidered ball?

He's just a musician.

The Princess Royal is out of his league.

Maybe he's just here as a looker-on.

The Princess Royal is a cripple.

Why is she out of his league?

Su Mu is the best musician, anyway.

Maybe the Princess Royal just deserves a musician

now that she's a cripple.

Unbelievable.

Yeah.

Nothing is impossible.

Even Young Master Han wears a copper bracelet.

Usually, only the underclass and servants

wear that thing.

Young Master of Xuanhu is just so so.

What bracelet were you talking about?

Crown Princess, it has spread the whole city

that Han Shuo was ordered by the City Owner

to wear a copper bracelet

to prove he belongs to you.

It means women of Huayuan City

can enslave men of Xuanhu City.

Wearing a bracelet?

I didn't write it.

Everyone wants us to get a divorce,

but I insist on staying with you like a fool.

If you treat me like that,

how could I persuade myself to keep going?

Han Shuo.

Han Shuo.

Crown Princess. Have a rest.

Where is Han Shuo?

Han Shuo?

I haven't seen him the whole day.

Where has he gone?

Don't worry.

We'll find him.

I shouldn't have refused him yesterday.

He's so proud and arrogant.

He must be heartbroken.

It's all my fault.

If it hadn't been for me,

he couldn't have put on that damned bracelet.

I let him down time and again.

Bracelet?

Young Master Han put on a bracelet?

Uh. Don't be sad.

I don't think

Young Master Han will take it to heart.

Well, this morning,

I saw Bai Ji and Young Master Han

ordering guys from Xuanhu City

to move a lot of boxes.

Bai Ji told me

Young Master Han would give you

a big surprise tonight.

He said, after tonight,

you would regret

you treated Young Master Han like that.

They asked me not to tell you

because they're afraid you won't feel surprised.

They've prepared special local products of Xuanhu City.

Zi Rui,

do you know what Xuanhu City abounds in?

Fruit?

Ironware?

What is it?

Explosives.

The boxes are filled with explosives.

After being pushed by my mother and refused by me,

he wants to bomb Huayuan.

Xuanhu will destroy Huayuan.

Crown Princess, don't run.

Crown Princess, where are you going?

The embroidered ball.

Right. The embroidered ball.

Zi Rui, keep the embroidered ball.

Don't give it to anyone except Su Mu.

I have to find Han Shuo.

You lead a team respectively and split up.

Got it.

Your Highness,

our guys are

lying in ambush at places

where explosives have been laid.

It seems you don't know Qianqian well.

And you know even less about me.

If you aim at Qianqian again,

I'll shoot

my second arrow.

Once Han Shuo takes action,

arrest him at once.

Try your best to capture him alive.

Yes, Your Highness.

When Han Shuo is convicted,

he'll be at your disposal.

Chuchu.

Chuchu.

Crown Princess, you can't go in.

Chuchu.

Go away!

Chuchu, there is an urgency.

Only you can help me.

What can I do for you?

As the Crown Princess, you're awe-inspiring.

You even broke into my house

without permission.

Han Shuo wants to conquer Huayuan City.

Send City Guards to find him.

We must stop him.

How did you know that?

There is no time to lose.

Han Shuo had explosives laid in the whole city.

Mother's inspection tour is about to start.

Once the explosives are ignited...

He won't have his way.

I've sent guys to lie in ambush

at every place with explosives.

You've already known that?

You've not only known that,

but also sent guys to catch him.

Han Shuo harbors evil designs.

As the Minister of Defense,

I have to arrest him.

To convict someone, you must catch him red-handed.

I'll give him a deadly blow tonight.

Catch him red-handed?

You knew what he was going to do today.

Why did you not stop him?

Instead, you want to see him make big trouble.

Chen Chuchu,

to become the Crown Princess,

you even decided to give up Han Shuo?

You don't have the right to yell at me.

Why does Han Shuo want to conquer Huayuan?

Isn't it because you keep changing your mind

and have so many love affairs?

Chuchu, stop it.

Don't make things difficult for Qianqian.

Pei Heng,

you can help me, right?

Go find him and stop him.

As the son of the former Minister of Defense,

you can help me out.

Why does he have to do that?

Today is the Double Seventh Festival.

City Guards need to patrol the whole city

and protect our mother.

Why don't you have a guess?

Who lent me soldiers

to encircle and suppress Han Shuo?

Fine.

Neither of you is obliged to help me,

but I can't do nothing

while watching you give up on Han Shuo.

Now that you don't go,

I'll go alone.

I can stop Han Shuo by myself.

Guards!

Now that you're here, you'd better stay.

I'll keep our mother company.

Just stay here.

I'll deal with you later.

Chen Chuchu,

didn't you say you wanted Han Shuo?

Pei Heng.

Don't look at me like that.

I know you're not that type of person.

You couldn't hurt others.

When will she throw it?

Come on.

When will she do it?

Is she going to do it or not?

It's an important event in her life.

It's understandable she's cautious.

I've been waiting for two hours.

If it goes on like this, it'll be dawn.

Is she going to throw it or not?

Mr. Su is back.

It's not Mr. Su.

Hurry up.

He won't show up again.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Help me with it.

Guo,

did you see Mr. Su?

No.

What does he look like?

Your Highness, how about you don't throw it today?

Let's go back.

They all want to make a decision for me.

I'm a cripple,

so I even don't have the right

to decide who I can marry?

No. I'll throw it.

Why do I have to give up just because he doesn't show up?

Pass the ball to me.

Your Highness.

Pass it to me.

Your Highness.

Her Majesty has left her mansion

on the festooned vehicle.

We've missed the auspicious time.

How about we don't do it today?

Let's go back.

Guo, the Crown Princess

asked the Princess Royal not to throw the embroidered ball

unless Mr. Su shows up.

Wait here.

I'll go stop her.

Your Highness, throw it!

Here. Your Highness.

Look. She threw it.

She threw it.

It's here.

Here. It's mine.

The ball.

Meng Guo, get the ball!

It's mine.

Mine.

It'll be mine.

Stop pushing.

I got it!

Where is it?

Don't grab.

Who dares to grab?

You? You?

He got the embroidered ball.

He'll be the Princess Royal's husband.

It's him.

I can't believe he got it.

A musician.

He's a musician.

A musician.

I can't believe it.

Your Highness,

he's the one who got the embroidered ball.

Your Highness, let me pay my respects.

Tell everyone

he'll be my husband now that he got the embroidered ball.

I'm determined to marry a musician.

Got it.

Your Majesty!

I'll look for Han Shuo with you,

but you have to promise me

this is your last time being bewitched by him.

You can't believe him again

no matter what he says.

I'll stop him.

I won't let him do that.

No way. We couldn't find him if it goes on like this.

We'd better get off the horse and act separately.

Here.

I heard you were looking everywhere for me.

Where did you go?

I've been looking for you so long.

I did something great.

Your timing is perfect. I was planning to look for you.

Even if you didn't want to see me,

I'd tie you up and take you there.

The City Owner is here!

Mother.

Mother.

Qianqian.

Mother.

I'll show you something interesting.

Wait. Han Shuo.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have ignored you.

I shouldn't have brushed you off.

I shouldn't have pushed you away.

I promise I won't do that again.

Han Shuo, I like you.

I really like you.

I want to stay with you.

I'll stay with you

no matter who wants to stop me.

Why are you saying these silly words?

I know I let you down.

You even suffered this for me.

It couldn't be taken off, right?

It can't as long as you live, right?

I don't think it's a badge of Huayuan City.

I think...

... it's you.

You're a rose with thorns.

Wearing a rose doesn't make me suffer.

You hurt me

with your thorns,

but I

love it.

I'll stay here

for you.

I'll stay by your side all my life.

For my sake,

can you stop...

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty. Your Highness.

Your Majesty. Your Highness.

Han Shuo, don't!
