(Episode 23)

(Ancestral Hall)

Your Majesty, it's my great honor

that I could become your sworn sister.

During the battle with Xuanhu,

I was severely injured and I'll die soon.

Since I'll no longer be able to take care of my baby daughter Chuchu,

I hope I can entrust her to you,

in the hope of that she can grow up to be useful and be my successor

(In memorial of late Minister Pei Wujiang) to devote herself to Huayuan City!

Hope I can be useful

and be her successor

to devote myself to Huayuan!

Turns out I can never,

be the City Owner!

Then why did you

give me the hope?

(In memorial of late Minister Pei Wujiang)

Chuchu.

You know already?

You've known it all along, haven't you?

So has Chen Qianqian, right?

You all knew it,

but no one told me.

Turns out

I've been daydreaming!

Mother, you asked me to be here today...

I know you came to Xuanhu in a hurry

and didn't pack a lot of stuff,

so I prepared some cloth

and jewelry for you.

Take a look! Do you like it?

I do!

If you do,

it's all yours.

This is...

Put... Put this back.

Mother, you can hold it with one hand?

You are so strong!

If I wear the armor

instead of this dress,

I'll be stronger!

Mother,

Han Shuo told me

that your father used to be the Minister of Defense of Xuanhu.

I guess you became his successor later.

So, were you also a Minister before you got married?

I was still young back then.

My father was badly ill,

and we were about to lose the war,

so I disguised myself as a man to fight on the battlefield

on my father's behalf.

May I ask your last name?

My last name is Hua.

Hua?

It's more and more like the story I'm familiar with.

I met your father

during that battle.

He was an Army Supervisor at that time.

I fought him one-on-one

for a whole hour

and made him fall off the horse in the end.

Then why don't you wanna be the Minister of Defense now?

I'm the City Owner's wife.

I need to keep my decent and elegant posture in front of people.

With time goes by,

I've got used to this domestic life.

Don't you feel regret?

I'm interested in the art of war

and I like leading the army.

But I love your father more!

Plus, I gave birth to Han Shuo;

I taught him all the knowledge and martial art skills

I've mastered.

For them,

I never regret for what I gave up.

But Han Shuo has

grown up.

You never thought about returning to the battlefield again?

It never crossed my mind.

After all,

it's very difficult for a woman

to take care of family and career at the same time.

I'm not good at

balancing these two.

Not necessarily.

In Huayuan City,

women are in charge of earning bread

and men are responsible for housework.

It actually works pretty well.

Why does it work in Huayuan,

but not in Xuanhu?

But the men of Huayuan

also cannot do whatever they want

just like the women of Xuanhu.

I created Huayuan and made women superior to men

so that women could live proudly.

But I've never thought about men's situation.

It's still not fair.

Looks like there really are some problems with my play.

Men work very hard to support the family.

It's not proper to let them do housework.

Then I wanna ask you, mother, what's family?

It requires both husband and wife to make a family.

It takes two to build a family,

so maintaining the family

shouldn't be one's job,

right?

My birth mother was former Minister Pei.

She entrusted me to Her Majesty

so that I could be the next Minster of Defense.

That's why I grew up learning literature and Kung Fu,

and I was appointed as filler-in Minister

without even going through election.

I was supposed

to be the Minster of Defense!

But Mr. Pei

has become the Minister now.

That's why

I first need to take back the thing that originally belonged to me!

Why should I

follow others' arrangement?

Chen Qianqian is gone,

so they want me to be the Crown Princess.

No, I will not!

Minister Pei.

In half a month,

we'll deliver another batch of black stone minerals

to Xuanhu City.

Given the tense relationship between the two cities,

shall we send more people to deliver the minerals?

No need.

We are going there for business, not for a war.

It'll be fine sending a small troop

to ward off bandits.

Try to avoid conflict with Xuanhu City.

Conflict is not something you can avoid!

You think we can still

keep a peaceful relationship with Xuanhu as before?

Send the Second Princess back to her mansion!

I am not the Second Princess!

I am Minister Pei!

Your Highness,

if you want to take the Minister position back,

you'll be Minister Chen.

But how come you called yourself Minister Pei?

What if I'm the daughter of late Minister Pei?

Your Highness, can you provide any proof?

You must be surprised!

I don't want to be the Crown Princess anymore!

I don't want the thing that Chen Qianqian

doesn't want.

I only want to be Minister Pei now!

Since you don't want people to know

that I'm your younger sister,

I'll just have to prove it myself.

Minister Pei had a daughter?

This jade pendant

did belong to late Minister Pei.

And the handwriting was hers, too!

They are all named Pei.

Who should we listen to?

Brother, that day,

you took over the City Guards

in the name of late Minister Pei's only son.

But now,

as late Minister Pei's daughter,

I think the Minister of Defense should be my rightful position!

The City Guards of Huayuan

have never taken orders from a man!

In order to take over the leadership,

you even exposed your identity?!

Actually, you...

you didn't have to do this!

No one would fight with you anymore!

Where's the flower token?

Minster...

Mr. Pei, we're sorry!

From now on,

I'll be the new Minister of Defense of Huayuan!

I'm the perfect fit for this position!

Greetings to you, Minister Pei!

Minster!

This is the token that commands the entire City Guards!

In the future, the City Guards of Huayuan

will follow the person instead of the token!

Whoever dares to disobey will be beheaded!

-Yes! -Yes!

Send him back to his mansion!

Guards, send Mr. Pei back to his mansion!

(Contract)

Withhold this batch of black stone minerals

for now.

But, Minister,

we've come to an agreement with Xuanhu;

they've even paid the deposit.

If we go back on our word,

it'll undermine our credibility!

Xuanhu City

took Huayuan's traitor princess away.

So what's the big deal if I withhold their black stone minerals?

Traitor princess?

You mean the Crown Princess is still alive?

Send my message to Xuanhu.

If they want the minerals,

then send Chen Qianqian back first!

Otherwise, the Han family

of Xuanhu can forget

about buying black stone minerals from Huayuan in the future!

I won't sell even for thousands of pieces of gold!

Minister, if Xuanhu refuses to send the Crown Princess back,

the black stone minerals we dug out will lie idle

since they are useless to us.

I've had a plan.

In addition,

I don't trust the guards in the City Owner's Mansion.

Replace them with our own people.

-Yes! -Yes!

(Contract)

I heard

that you seized the Minister position back from Pei Heng.

I just recaptured something that belonged to me.

How can that be called seizure?

I also heard

that you surrounded this mansion with lots of guards.

Mother, you are tired. You need some rest.

I want you

to take good care of your health!

But the entire Huayuan

knows that you aren't my daughter.

How will you become the City Owner now?

Don't worry, mother.

I'm fine with being a Minister.

I've thought it through.

As long as I have the military power,

it doesn't matter if I'm the City Owner.

I have the City Guards my birth mother left me.

Why would I fight

for the title of City Owner?

You see,

I'm the commander of the army;

and the black stone mine in Huayuan

is at my disposal.

There's nothing you can do about it.

I was afraid that you'd become like this.

That's why I didn't tell you who you really are.

You should have told me earlier.

That would make me feel better.

Looks like I was wrong.

Back then,

I just wanted you to be happy.

Growing up, I've always lost to Chen Qianqian

in front of you.

This time,

I will prove to you

that I'm better than her!

Are you really

determined to kill my youngest daughter?

No worry!

I won't kill her.

But neither will I let her hide

and spend the rest of her life with Han Shuo!

I will find her back!

I'll let her see herself

how she's lost to me!

So in your heart,

you really

don't see me as your mother anymore?

Young Master, Huayuan sent a message,

saying that if we don't send their Crown Princess back,

they will stop selling us the black stone minerals.

It doesn't sound like my mother's order.

Maybe someone faked the order again!

I should go back and check.

Obviously it's a trap Chen Chuchu set

to lure you back.

They must have

fully prepared to ambush you if you go back.

Let's go discuss it with my father.

He's righteous and considerate;

he won't send you back

for my sake.

Let's go!

Father,

I've summoned a few generals of our City Guards.

So,

what do you think?

Qianqian,

how have you

been doing in Xuanhu City?

Very well!

Mother and you treat me like your own daughter!

That's good! Very good!

That makes me feel relieved!

So you will let her stay?

I'm glad to know that you enjoyed yourself.

And now it's time for you to go back!

You'll send her to die?

This conflict happened because of her.

But you'd rather make our City Guards suffer

than let her take responsibilities.

What if it's a trap?

Huayuan is indeed good

at using honey-trap!

One after another!

Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

Your Majesty, if you don't find

a permanent solution to the conflict,

Chuchu will sooner or later

stop trading black stone minerals with Xuanhu

after she becomes the City Owner.

By that time,

men in Xuanhu can only

farm for a living,

or develop cloth business

like Huayuan City

and let women be the bread-earners.

Let women go to work?

Then who'll be heads of household?

Women, of course!

No way!

Then Xuanhu will become another Huayuan!

What's wrong with Huayuan?

Is this how you seek for help?

If you think women are more capable,

why don't you go find help from women

instead of begging your husband

and letting him come to me for help?

I will go to women for help

if you are willing to give power to women!

Give power to women?

Speaking of Kung Fu and art of war,

only Pei Wujiang in your Huayuan

was quite impressive.

The other women on the battlefield

were just a joke!

You always look down upon women,

yet still need to send a woman out there

to solve the problem.

Who said women in Xuanhu couldn't lead the army?

Qianqian,

something you said was really right.

A woman's destiny is in her own hands.

Women should make their own money

and lead their own army,

so that

no one will dare look down upon us again!

Minister Li,

before my father passed away,

he gave the Xuan Token to you.

And now I want to rejoin Xuanhu City Guards.

Would you give it back to me?

Don't give it to her!

Give me the token.

I will never forget

what late Minister Hua told me!

Minister Hua, here's the Xuan Token!

The City Guards will follow your lead!

You!

(Xuanhu)

Please rise!

Finally, you are back to the army!

I can still recall your valiant

and heroic presence at war!

It was such a pity though that you got married too early.

Darling,

are you really going for the battle to Huayuan?

If you are,

I... I will divorce you!

Are you kidding?

(Divorce Letter)

Divorce letter?

I will divorce you first!

I've been putting up with you for a long time!

Women can't lead the army?

You may have forgotten

that you once were defeated by me.

Even your horse knelt down before me!

But don't you forget

that you are still my wife!

I'm tired of being your wife!

Since it's an honor given by you,

I'm okay without it.

From now on,

I'll be Minister Hua;

I'm no longer the City Owner's wife!

I have my own honor!

You!

Rebel!

Rebel!

Rebel!

Mother!

They are all rebels!

Father!

Shuo!

Even though I don't have heart disease,

why my heart is so in pain?

My daughter-in-law

made my wife leave me and destroyed my family!

Women in Huayuan

are indeed evil and dangerous!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Thank you!

I just made the choice I wanted.

Women should be self-reliant

and independent.

It's absolutely right!

(Baofeng Money Shop)

You gave me a golden token before,

and now I'm repaying you by much more!

These are for your traveling expenses! Am I a good friend or not?

How did you know that I'm going back to Huayuan?

All the noblewomen in the city

already know that the City Owner's wife will go for a battle.

Then what about their divorce?

That's why I think you are so amazing!

You have been here just for a few days

but already made your parents-in-law divorce!

You know what?

Women in Xuanhu are all

trying to copy Her Majesty's way

and make their own decisions.

The City Owner got so furious after learning that!

What happened?

Excuse me! Sorry!

Starting today,

women should wear long sleeves and ankle-length dress when going out.

That'll be really hot in the middle of summer!

Women are not allowed to study

or learn how to write.

Then how can we earn money?

Women are not allowed to participate in political affairs or business.

All shops are not allowed to hire women.

That's the whole point of this notice.

Every girl should begin to bind feet at age of four

and wear corset at age of 13.

So all women will be bound,

and men are all free.

Women are not allowed to initiate a divorce.

Then we'll have no way back

after getting married!

Abortion is forbidden!

Only this one makes sense!

Are you kidding me?

What if the man abandons the woman?

She will be screwed!

Let's go!

What's wrong with the City Owner of Xuanhu?

Looks like Huayuan is much better.

In this case, I also want to go back to Huayuan

and live a free life like before!

Starting today,

men should wear long sleeves and ankle-length clothes when going out.

Under this weather condition,

they'll be muffled to death even before summer!

Tell me about it!

Men are not allowed to study

or learn how to write.

We can't even study in secret!

Then how can you run your school?

Men are not allowed to participate in political affairs or business.

All shops are not allowed to hire men.

Then men can only farm and get married.

Men are not allowed to initiate a divorce.

Then we'll have no way back after getting married!

There are so many unfaithful women out there!

Women can decide for themselves

if they want to give birth.

Men have no right to interfere.

Then what if the woman abandons the man?

He's not dressed properly! Arrest him!

Yes!

What's going on?

Move!

What are you doing?

Let me go!

Why are you arresting me?

Did you give this order?

You said you only wanted to be the Minister of Defense

and command the army.

Why did you give an unauthorized order like this?

Are you going to take over the throne next?

If I say yes,

what can you do?

There's nothing I can do.

But Her Majesty

has allowed men to be officials before.

People in Huayuan have become more open-minded.

How could you disobey her decree?

Was that my mother's decree

or Chen Qianqian's?

That was only a rule that Chen Qianqian made

when mother was ill.

It was completely wrong!

I'll let Huayuan

get back to the way it was!

As a filler-in,

you don't care about right or wrong,

but only go against Qianqian!

Go take a look for yourself!

Not only men,

but women are also unhappy about this!

What you are doing is totally

against people's will!

I'm fully in control

of Huayuan City.

My will is people's will!

Chuchu,

this is not how I taught you

when I was the Minister of Education!

But you are not on that position anymore.

And I'm no longer the previous Second Princess.

I will listen to no one!

Time will tell

that Qianqian was right!

Don't you dare mention Chen Qianqian in front of me!

Chen Qianqian,

why can't you just leave me alone?!

Su, will you eat something?

You've been losing weight.

Master!

I know you just pretended to be nice!

Now, you'll finally kill me.

Turn around.

You are free.

You'll set me free?

All you want in your life

is to put your ambition to good use.

Since Huayuan is no longer home to you,

why don't you stay in Xuanhu?

You may have an opportunity to display your talents here.

Su, you should thank Master.

Why are you doing this?

Will you stop asking "why"?

I will go back to Huayuan for a battle.

I can't bring a burden like you with me.

Don't tell me that you also want to go back to Huayuan,

where's no room for men now.

What do you mean?

What happened in Huayuan?

Anything happened to the Second Princess?

Men are not allowed to study

or learn how to write.

Men are not allowed to participate in political affairs or business.

All shops are not allowed to hire men.

Men are not allowed to initiate a divorce.

This is not the Second Princess' idea!

Believe whatever you want.

Are men also not allowed to lead the army?

This is something only you would order!

How come

the Second Princess has become like this?

I would order?

Why do you always blame me

for everything?

I was once

dressed as a woman to join the election of lieutenant.

You took me out from the crowds and beat me up. I almost died!

So

don't bother acting like a good person now.

Why don't you just kill me?

So it was

Chen Chuchu who saved you from Chen Qianqian.

No wonder you hate me this much.

Alright, now things are clear!

Actually it's not that hard to untie your mind knot.

How about this? You can go back to Huayuan with me.

I'll let you see yourself

how I treat Zi Rui and Meng Guo on the way.

Then you'll know

the current me is not anymore the previous me.

Everybody was once ignorant.

Please forgive me for my ignorance

and for hurting you.

I'll make it up to you

for what I owe you.

(Loyal and devoted)

What took you so long to untie it?

Where's the maid who served me before?

Your Majesty, please don't be angry!

Your Majesty,

the maid who served you before was a dowry of your wife.

She has moved to the Minister's Mansion

with Her Majesty.

Alright, I'll untie it myself.

Go get me a basin of warm water. I'll wash my feet.

Wash your feet?

Her Majesty said

she bought the basin with her dowry,

so she took it away.

What?

She didn't even leave me a basin!

Then why can't you get me a new one?

Her Majesty

was in charge of purchasing.

But she's left,

and nobody has been assigned to do it!

Useless!

Pass my order. Let Young Master come to see me.

You can at least do this, can't you?

Yes! Yes!

(Generous and elegant)

Look, what a mess Chen Qianqian has made!

Can't believe she convinced your mother to do such a ridiculous thing!

All women of entire Xuanhu City

are copying her behaviors now!

Now I understand

why Chen Qianqian is the Third Princess.

The First Princess is worshiped by the city, and the Second is worshiped by the country,

yet the ego of the Third is bigger than both the city and the country.

It was mother's decision

to be the Minister of Defense again.

But all women wanted to divorce their husbands

because

you issued an unfair decree.

It wasn't Qianqian's fault.

But nothing happened until Chen Qianqian

showed up!

It only shows that the problems were already there.

And Qianqian just made

them emerge.

I don't think there used to be problems.

Your mother and I loved each other very much.

Why did you marry my mother?

Why do you ask?

Have you forgotten?

Of course not!

I met your mother in the military camp.

During a martial arts training,

she pinned me on the ground and beat me up!

I couldn't get it over with,

thinking after I got back to Xuanhu,

I'd win the next round.

But after I returned to Xuanhu,

I found that she was actually a woman!

She was not only beautiful and skillful in Kung Fu,

but also good at playing polo!

When she was on the field,

she was swift as the wind and quick as the lightning.

I'd never seen such a woman.

So charming!

So, Xiaoqian is pretty much just like her!

How can your Xiaoqian compare to your mother?

Back then, your mother's eyes were like stars,

shining and shining!

Then Xiaoqian's eyes are just like that!

However, it's a pity

that you mother was not

as alive as before after we got married.

I heard

that after you married my mother,

in order to make her happy,

you planted these magnolias in the yard.

But I don't understand

why you didn't

keep them inside?

Magnolia has a unique elegant and refined quality,

only the infinite open environment can match it.

If you keep it inside, it'll suppress its charm.

Since you fell in love with a woman

who was so attractive and brave on the horseback,

then why would you require her

to be a stereotypical housewife

and become someone you don't like?

My mother

lost her charm for you.

But

what have you done for her?

Do you know what she really wants

and what she really wants to become?

Before, for the sake of my heart disease,

our troops had to hide the real power and endure the humiliation.

And now,

Chen Chuchu, the Second Princess of Huayuan, breaks her promise

and seizes the black stone minerals she agreed to sell to us.

Our men in Xuanhu cannot be bullied like this!

Let's go to Huayuan City and fight for justice!

Fight for justice!

I promise you

that I will bring all of you back alive

to reunite with your family!

Thank you, Young Master!

I heard that the women all wanted a divorce.

It doesn't sound like it was true.

Your Majesty, these men will be in for a tough battle

to fight for the mine in Huayuan.

It could be a one-way trip.

No matter how much they fight,

when something important happens, the husband and wife are still united.

You are also here to see off Her Majesty, aren't you?

Shut up!

Greetings to you, Minister Hua!

Mother, this is Su Ziying,

the lieutenant I selected for you.

But you need to be careful when you use him.

Please rise!

This is ridiculous!

Your Majesty, calm down!

A country

can run as normal

without a queen,

but it can't without a king.

You are the City Owner.

You need to take good care of yourself!

Stop talking!

Pack my stuff, I'll go with them.

Yes!

(Huayuan City)

Your Highness, our spy sent a message

that Xuanhu army has stationed in the suburb

and will arrive here in a couple of days.

I asked Xuanhu to hand over Chen Qianqian,

yet they send out army to fight me!

What's good about Chen Qianqian?

Even people in Xuanhu are bewitched by her!

Report, Minster Pei!

The Princess Royal disappeared!

She's probably gone to find the Third Princess!

Son of a bitch!

There's no Third Princess in Huayuan!

Yes! I'll remember!

Yuanyuan!

Yuanyuan, are you okay?

Did Chuchu give you a hard time?

Qianqian, don't worry!

We got out from a secret passageway

in my mansion before she got a chance

to do anything to me.

Secret passageway?

I have a secret passageway that directly leads to outside of the city.

It was built for emergency just like this.

If Her Highness looks out for herself

like the Princess Royal does, then...

Why didn't you bring mother along?

After Chuchu learned that she's not Her Majesty's real daughter,

nothing could hold her back anymore.

She took over the City Guards,

claimed that Her Majesty was ill,

seized the black stone mine,

and put all the black stones in her mansion.

Then what about Pei Heng?

Mr. Pei has been detained.

Chuchu keeps making mistakes!

Yuanyuan, don't worry!

I borrowed some troops

from Xuanhu this time.

I'm sure I can save mother and Pei Heng.

But, you only brought a few people here...

We already did you a big favor by lending you the troops.

As a girl, you should feel grateful

instead of putting ourselves down!

Father.

You are here, too.

Step aside.

You misunderstood me.

I just don't wanna see Qianqian and Chuchu fight each other.

In my opinion, we should conquer the city.

Xuanhu is known as its smelting and gunpowder production.

We have very powerful and competitive force.

When we enter the city, we can split into two troops,

one to save your mother and Pei Heng,

the other

to find out where the black stones are.

But I don't want

to hurt innocent citizens in Huayuan City.

I have an idea that can make us win without a battle.

Your Highness, you can pretend to be my hostage.

I'll take you into the city,

and then we'll find a chance to capture the Second Princess.

That way, with the commander being caught,

none of the citizens will get hurt.

Double Agent Strategy!

It will be the most efficient method,

but also one that may make me die the quickest.

You've tried to kill Xiaoqian several times.

How am I supposed to trust you this time?

Trust me or not, it's up to the Third Princess.

I'll go with you.

Young Master is a martial arts expert.

If I pretended that I defeated both of you,

it wouldn't be convincing.

Alright,

I'll go with you alone.

After all, we can't attack the city,

or the citizens of Huayuan

will suffer a lot.

You are really willing to risk your own life

for Huayuan's citizens?

I'm not.

But I have no other choices.

Your Highness,

I will serve you and be loyal to you for my whole life!

Rise, please!

Every time you knelt to me, something bad would happen.

Your Highness, don't worry!

I'll bring some people to help you make the plan work.

My husband and I will go save your mother.

Be safe!

Open the gate! Open the gate, now!

(Huayuan City) Stop! Stop!

Who are you?

I'm Su Ziying!

The Second Princess ordered me to catch Chen Qianqian.

Let me through!

Su Ziying, let Qianqian go!

Come on!

Young Master, let's go.

The Princess Royal's secret passageway is so well-concealed.

Young Master, the inner city is heavily guarded.

If anything goes wrong,

how can we get out of here?

No worry. Xiaoqian will figure out a way.

She's the screenwriter.

What's screenwriter?

Someone who makes up stories.

Who is it?

Let's split.

Okay!

Let's go.

Honey,

Shuo said I've ignored you for too long.

Will you keep ignoring me? Starting right now!

Report! Your Highness, they are here!

Bring them in.

Yes!

Your Highness.

Though I was caught by Chen Qianqian,

I never forgot the mission you assigned to me.

I pretended to surrender and spied on her,

finally got a chance to capture her.

Please punish her as you will!

Good!

Lock her up first!

Who is it?

Don't move!

You are such a good-for-nothing!

How dare you betray me?

Don't you remember how I saved you before?

I will never forget

that you saved my life!

I once thought

that you were kind and thoughtful,

yet the Third Princess was evil and wicked.

But now, I changed my mind.

For all this time,

everything you did

reminded me of the old Chen Qianqian.

Will you stop criticizing me?

Chen Chuchu,

it's not too late

to make things right.

Your life is still in danger,

yet you are trying to persuade me?

So funny!

You think I'd sit here waiting for death?

Mr. Pei! Mr. Pei!

Something happened in the city.

Whatever Chuchu wants to do,

just let her.

I don't care anymore.

Not the Second Princess, but the Third!

What?

The Third Princess led a small troop

and came back from Xuanhu

to ambush the Second Princess.

But instead, she was surrounded by the Second Princess,

and her life is in danger right now!

Where are the City Guards?

Some headed to the inner city

and some are on their way here.

We were here to find

the City Owner of Huayuan.

See, we found her.

We didn't find her!

We are locked up with her!

I'm the City Owner of Xuanhu.

This is my wife,

the Minister of Defense of Xuanhu.

You must be the City Owner of Huayuan.

And this one must be your husband.

I'm Her Majesty's servant.

I'm sorry!

I see that you two are pretty close,

so I thought...

I thought Xuanhu city attached more importance to men

and didn't allow women to be officials.

How come your wife is the Minister of Defense?

It was an emergency.

I took the job at the last minute.

I see that you are such a brave woman,

and you act like the head of household.

I think you are the one calls the shots in your family, right?

How are your children?

Are they filial and capable?

They are indeed capable.

See, one of them even invited you two here.

And they are

also filial.

In case I'm too old to take care of myself,

one of them sent lots of guards to watch me.

Are you stupid?

Your Majesties,

why don't you talk about your children's marriage?

We can talk about that!

After I finish the business here,

I'll bring Qianqian back to Xuanhu

and hold another wedding for her and Shuo.

I've even picked a new mansion for them.

Wait!

Han Shuo has married into my family.

He should stay in Huayuan with us in the future.

How did he marry into your family?

We've made a deal.

Han Shuo married into my family

to get the black stone mining right in return

and make the two cities become friends.

But we didn't get the black stone minerals,

so he can't marry into your family.

When they have a baby, who should also be surnamed Han.

No! It should be Chen!

No!

Our family has a City Owner position to pass down.

What a coincidence! So does mine!

How about this then?

If it's a boy, he'll be surnamed Han. If it's a girl, she'll be surnamed Chen.

Your Majesty, this is a good idea!

Then you have to promise

that you'll love your granddaughter as you do to your grandson.

As long as you can love your grandson

as you do to your granddaughter!

That's easy.

If they are all surnamed Chen, I'll love them equally!

Are you kidding?

If they are all surnamed Han, I'll also love them equally!

We are all family here! Stop fighting!

Let's toss the dice to decide what to do?

What are you waiting for?

Arrest Chen Qianqian, now!

The Third Princess is Her Majesty's real daughter!

Though we take orders from you,

we can't hurt the Third Princess!

Your Third Princess

used to be arrogant, bossy and cruel.

She's a shame of Huayuan!

That was in the past.

But I admit that I used to be that way.

Chen Chuchu,

you disobeyed mother and persecuted your sisters.

You don't deserve to be a princess of Huayuan!

How about you then?

You even brought Xuanhu's army in here!

But I didn't hurt

any citizen of our city!

When you were in charge of the city affairs,

you put Huayuan in such a chaos!

That was your excuse!

What are you afraid of?

City Guards, take my order!

Kill Chen Qianqian!

Well...

I think the Third Princess' words make sense.

That's right. People all support the Third Princess.

But the Second Princess always rakes up the past.

Have you read

"The Rumored Third Princess"?

I think the Third Princess also

had her own struggle.

This is a military order!

What if we don't acknowledge your commandership?

So we don't have to listen to you anymore, do we?

Have you lost your mind?

I'm a descendant of the Pei family!

My last name is Pei!

But what you are doing

is against Her Majesty's decree

and disturbing the livelihood of our people,

as well as in defiance of late Minister Pei's will!
