Help!

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Your Highness.

-Help me. -Beauty.

Beauty.

Your Highness. Your Highness,

don't let him run away, Your Highness.

Help me get even with him, Your Highness.

♪Can somebody tell me why♪

♪the promises have been forgotten? The heart is changing.♪

My Lord,

are you okay?

My Lord,

the servants said you ran into the room in a panic.

Is everything alright?

Yes.

Everything is alright.

My Lord, why is your face so red?

Did you fail

to cuckold the Fifth Prince?

No.

I

did it.

You did it?

Of course I did it.

After what happened today,

the Fifth Prince

definitely won't want me as his reading partner.

My Lord, this is good news.

Why do you look unhappy?

Do I look unhappy?

I'm very happy.

I'm just a little tired.

I'd like to rest early.

You two should go and rest.

My Lord, let me help you get changed.

No need.

I can get changed myself.

You must be tired.

Go and rest.

I will call you if I need anything.

Then we will get going.

We're leaving.

Go.

Damn you, facial palsy guy.

Damn you, facial palsy guy.

I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to kill you.

Give my first kiss back. Give my first kiss back.

The weather is dry.

Be careful not to catch fire.

The weather is dry.

Be careful not to catch fire.

The weather is dry.

Ridiculous.

This is utterly ridiculous.

The Imperial College

My Lord. Here.

Go.

Your Highness.

You are going to be late.

Let me hug you.

His face really has no expression.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

The Imperial College

Your Highness, what...

It seems I'm still normal.

I knew it.

Confucius said,

"People boast their intelligence,

when in fact, they can't avoid

traps in time."

What to do?

Can't avoid traps in time.

This is odd.

This is really odd.

How can a man's body

be that soft?

He is even small-boned.

He totally looks like a woman.

Can it be that Han Shiyi

really is a woman?

No way. No way.

I must be overthinking it.

Confucius said, "People boast their intelligence..."

It was normal when I hugged them.

How come my heart is racing right now?

No.

I must find a chance to give it another try.

Eat. Eat.

It seems

last night's incident dealt a heavy blow to him.

He looks like

he wants to beat me up right now.

Why am I having this feeling again?

Do I only feel this way toward Han Shiyi?

Don't you think the two of them are being weird?

It makes sense that the Fifth Prince is behaving like this.

But for someone who chatters all the time,

Han Shiyi is being awfully quiet today.

Have you heard?

The news has spread across the whole capital.

It's said the Fifth Prince

bats for the other team.

Is it true?

Listen, I noticed

the Fifth Prince

was interacting intimately with his two guards

this morning.

Then

his two guards are actually his...

That's why

the Fifth Prince

has never had an affair

with any woman.

Some time ago,

His Majesty and Her Majesty sent four beauties to him.

And all of them ended up living alone.

The Fifth Prince never touched them.

He likes men?

Han Shiyi

does look delicate.

Come to think of it,

if Han Shiyi wore women's clothes,

I'd fall for him,

not to mention the Fifth Prince.

Indeed, his skin looks fair and fine,

unlike the rough skin of ordinary men.

Wang Zhongyu,

why aren't you talking?

Interesting.

-What do you want? -Shiyi.

I'm really sorry about what happened at Li's Glorious Pavilion.

How about I buy you a drink tonight with nobody else to disturb us

as my apology?

What do you think?

No, thanks.

The two vixens of your family

have widened my horizons.

They gave me a good scare.

Fine.

We will drink another day.

What's the problem

with Wang Er?

What was he doing?

Does he still want me as his brother-in-law?

He is mad for real.

Whatever.

I will just greet him

and solve the reading partner thing.

Your Highness,

where are you going?

I will give it one last try.

Does he intend to punch me?

Why is this happening?

Impossible.

I will try again.

Oh no. Oh no.

He is hitting me this time.

Am I really homosexual?

Your Highness,

I drank too much last night.

I acted on impulse

and committed the monstrous crime

of cuckolding you.

After I woke up,

I regretted deeply.

I realized that I didn't deserve

to be anyone's reading partner.

I regret so much.

I feel ashamed.

It's okay.

If you like them,

I will let you have them all.

That won't do.

Your Highness, you should know

that the two girls at my home are vixens.

I'm under their strict control.

I dare not bring any woman back home.

Thank you for the kind offer.

You

can keep them.

This guy is not only shrewd,

but also forbearing.

To woo me,

he'd even give me his beauties.

Dad said

only those who could endure situations that ordinary people couldn't

had the ability to achieve greatness.

He has the ability to achieve greatness,

which means

he is tougher to deal with than ordinary people.

Eternal loyalty

Yeah.

No man would bear such humiliation.

Yes.

That's right.

At first, I thought he was forbearing.

But now that I think about it,

no man would bear such humiliation.

Then why didn't he flip out?

Can it be...

What?

Can it be that he is not a man?

My Lord.

Rumor has it

that the Fifth Prince

doesn't like women.

What?

It's true.

It's said he didn't even

touch the beauties sent to him.

In the western territory,

there was no woman at his home.

Rumor has it

that he is homosexual.

Homosexual?

He likes men?

The strange acts he did today...

Gosh.

Is he... is he fond of me?

My Lord.

There's another rumor spreading in the outside world.

It's about you and the Fifth Prince.

What...

What rumor?

My Lord.

You may want to sit tight and hold a chair arm

before hearing it from me.

Rumor has it

that the Fifth Prince made you his reading partner because...

because...

because you are good-looking and he fancies you.

My Lord.

Li's Glorious Pavilion

Your Highness, let me do it.

It's okay.

I hear that you have been doing well in the capital.

I do as you order.

I dare not take the credit.

Don't be nervous.

Though I don't see you a lot,

I know you are

diligent and cautious.

I'm flattered, Your Highness.

Here, Your Highness.

I have ordered my people

to buy the antique shop behind Li's Glorious Pavilion.

Our military dealings will come through the alley from now on,

just to avoid arousing suspicions.

You are thoughtful, Your Highness.

I hear that

a man came to make trouble the other day.

And that man is your reading partner now.

Even you have heard it.

It looks like a lot of people are paying attention to Han Shiyi.

I hear that Han Shiyi

has been in the capital for half a month

and visited all the brothels already.

With his fine looks and good family background,

he spends money generously,

earning a reputation in multiple brothels.

He has become a new favorite customer of the courtesans.

Nobody has caught more attention than him at the present.

If he wants to be known as a playboy,

let him be.

Li's Glorious Pavilion Goodbye, Your Highness.

Feel free to leave first.

Yes.

Selling rice dumpling.

Selling rice dumpling.

Is that person across us selling rice dumpling?

Buy me a bowl of rice dumpling.

Your Highness, you don't usually eat sweets.

What makes you change your mind today?

Han Shiyi adores sweets of this kind.

It seems you care about Han Shiyi dearly.

That's nonsense.

A man doesn't care about another man dearly.

I just don't want Han Shiyi

to be used by ill-intentioned people.

I'm not buying it.

Your Highness, are you really not buying it?

Hey, Your Highness.

Eastern Chamber

How come my heart only races when I'm with him?

And I can't help but want to buy things for him.

Do I really fancy him?

But he is a man.

What if...

What if the Fifth Prince

really is homosexual?

No.

I must not do this.

Starting from tomorrow,

I must stay away from Han Shiyi.

I must not let him affect me again.

Never mind.

He can fancy me as he wants.

I won't like him.

Just keep on playing a playboy's role.

I can't let him affect me.

The gentle breeze and quiet moon

Your Highness.

Where are you going?

You haven't finished lunch yet.

Sit down and continue eating.

Your meal is hearty.

I don't like chicken drumsticks.

You can have them.

Holy crap.

He suddenly offered me the chicken drumsticks.

What's the meaning of this?

I don't like chicken drumsticks.

You can have them.

It seems the rumor is true.

There really is something going on between them.

Answer me.

How many women have you associated with?

Eight.

Come off it.

We always went together.

You couldn't have associated with one more woman than me.

I look more handsome than you.

Why couldn't I have associated with one more woman?

I have associated with nine women.

I left two out just then.

I...

Gu Wan, you lied.

I'm better than you.

Why couldn't I have associated with two more women?

I...

Enough.

I'm not here to hear you bicker.

Then why did you ask?

Where do you think

Han Shiyi is different from the women

you've associated with?

The difference?

The makeup is different?

Han Shiyi is a woman.

No way.

That's a crime punishable by death.

You don't believe me?

Come with me.

Let's go.

Liberality and sophistication

Doctor, I need to leave to do something.

Han Shiyi, it's you again.

How come you always have things to do during my class?

Have you got any complaints about me?

Don't misunderstand me, doctor.

I just have to answer the call of nature.

Outrageous.

Quiet down. Quiet down.

I can't hold on.

I need to go, Doctor.

Doctor, we need to leave too.

Outrageous.

Get back here as soon as possible.

Come on.

What are you looking at?

We are using the toilet.

You don't have any weird hobbies,

do you?

Shiyi, don't say that.

We just found a rat

that was chased by a cat.

And we were worried that the cat might fall into a cesspit.

So we went after it and arrived here.

Where are you going, Shiyi?

I'm going to the classroom, of course.

You think I'll wait here for dinner?

Wang Zhongyu,

what should we do now?

It's okay. We'll keep looking into it.

Catch it.

Come on. Let's play Cuju.

Here. Give me.

Come here.

Here. Here.

Catch it. Catch it.

Alright.

Shiyi,

what a coincidence.

We are going to play Cuju.

We need one more player.

Join us.

There are so many people around you.

Why choose me?

Shiyi, are you still angry?

Hey,

men don't touch one another.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Do me a favor and join us.

Fine.

I will play with you.

Alright.

You, I, the chubby one, and Gu Wan will be on the same team.

Come on.

Han Shiyi will be on my team.

Your Highness,

you want to play too?

Can't I play?

We are glad

to have you.

Hurry.

Give me. Give me.

Go.

Pass the ball.

Go. Go. Go.

Stop him.

Gu Wan.

Go. Go.

Pass me the ball. Pass me the ball.

Han Shiyi, go for it.

Here. Here. Here.

Stop him. Stop him.

Your Highness, here. Here. Here.

Give me. Give me.

Hurry. Pass me the ball.

Are you alright?

Kick it here.

I'm alright.

They took the ball.

It's okay. I'm here.

Your Highness, do you want it?

I will get the ball myself.

Go on. Go on.

Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up.

Keep it up, Your Highness.

Brilliant.

Pass me the ball. Pass me the ball.

Stop him.

Good shot.

Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.

It hurts.

Han Shiyi, you...

Keep it up.

Come on.

Stop him.

Stop him.

He is good at this.

Your Highness, here. Here.

Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.

Shiyi, I didn't know you were so impressive.

I might not do well in other things,

but I'm an expert

on games.

You won by sheer luck.

Shiyi,

your skin is so smooth and soft.

Are you a girl?

-His skin isn't as good as mine. -You should know

girls nowadays prefer men like me.

Your face is so dirty.

I can rub mud off you.

What is this smell?

You stink.

How many days have passed since you last bathed?

You...

Your Highness.

My stomach has been aching for the whole day.

May I have a day's leave?

Do you need to see an imperial doctor?

No. No.

I just need to rest at home.

Okay.

You may go home and rest.

Thank you.

Duke Han's Mansion

My Lord.

Since you came back,

you have been looking worried.

Did something happen today?

So many things happened today.

Both Wang Zhongyu

and the facial palsy guy

are acting more and more strangely.

My Lord,

what's on your mind?

Actually,

Wang Zhongyu

has started to suspect that I'm a woman.

He set multiple traps to tell my gender today.

I'm trying to come up with a solution.

Did you do anything

to give yourself away?

Nonsense.

I'd never give myself away.

I just think they are meddlesome and annoying.

I have to find a way to end this

once and for all.

Remove Wang Zhongyu's

suspicions.

I know.

We can do this.

Let's do this.

I will start working on it right now.

Yes.

My Lord, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent this letter requesting a visit.

They also sent more gifts than the last time.

They are waiting outside the mansion, insisting on seeing you, My Lord.

Okay. You are dismissed.

Yes.

My Lord.

How did you handle

the previous gifts?

We knew you wouldn't accept the gifts.

So we told the servants

to send the gifts back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

You were too polite to them.

Tell you what,

this time just throw them and their gifts out,

so they will never do this again.

After I remove Wang Er's suspicions,

I will come up with a plan to pull out of the fight

between the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince for the crown prince's title.

Dad said

we must not take sides.

Don't throw them out.

Duke Han's Mansion

I brought the Prime Minister's kind letter

requesting to visit Lord Han.

I didn't expect you to go against the custom

and reject our request repeatedly.

What a yokel from the northern territory!

A yokel?

Go back and tell the Prime Minister

to stop sending gifts here.

Being a yokel,

I wouldn't know the value of your gifts.

You!

Let my dogs bite him if he comes again.

Don't show courtesy

to the people of the Wang family.

-You! -Close the door.

Duke Han's Mansion

Han Shiyi

is just ungrateful.

My Lord,

they threw us out right on the spot.

He even said...

What did he say?

He said...

Just tell me.

He said

not to show mercy to the people of the Wang family

and would let his dogs bite me.

Calm down, My Lord.

Don't let your anger at him damage your health.

It seems he is determined

to dissuade us from wooing him.

Han Shiyi

has slogged his guts out.

My Lord, what should we do now?

Should we continue to woo him?

There's no use wooing him.

He is resolved not to align himself with us.

But

if we can't get the Han family's help,

neither will the Fifth Prince.

Li's Glorious Pavilion

According to you,

Han Shiyi is playing dumb.

What should we do?

We need something to prove that he's playing dumb.

If we held unfavorable proof against him,

he would have to take sides.

That's inappropriate.

I think

we should learn about

Han Shiyi's stance

before making a decision.

Wang Zhongyu and Han Shiyi interacted intimately

at the Imperial College today.

It seems my second brother is wooing the Han family.

We must find a way

to sound out Han Shiyi.

What can we do?

We might as well

appoint him as the supervisor.

The supervisor?

You must not do so, Your Highness.

Yes.

The supervisor's job

should be taken up by a talented and virtuous person

who can connect you with the scholars around the country

and help you win the people's hearts.

That's right.

Having trained in the western territory, you command strong troops

and accumulate wealth through Li's Glorious Pavilion in the capital.

All you need right now is popularity among the people.

The supervisor must be an outstanding scholar

loved by the people.

I have given much thought to this matter.

Then who do you actually

want as the supervisor?

Zhou Xuezhang.

He was born poor,

but he studied hard as a child.

He seeks to defend our families and country.

He is an upright and virtuous man.

Yes.

As far as I know,

Zhou Xuezhang detests crooked officials and the culture of corruption.

He would never associate with the Second Prince and the Wang family.

If you make him supervisor,

he'll feel grateful and do his best to serve you.

So

you mean to pretend that you want Han Shiyi as the supervisor.

Then we are relieved.

Li's Glorious Pavilion

Here.

My Lord.

Do you think Wang Zhongyu

set a trap for us?

It's obviously a treacherous dinner.

If I didn't accept their invitation,

they would never leave me alone.

It's okay.

I will adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation.

I'd like to see

how they will deal with me.

Come on.

I'm here.

You are here, Shiyi.

Shiyi.

We finally got a chance to meet up.

Why did you bring them here?

Wang Er,

you should know

that these two girls control me strictly.

It took me a long time

to talk them into letting me

come to have dinner with you.

Shiyi, a man shouldn't fear his wife.

If people knew about this,

they would say you were unmanly.

Shiyi.

How about this?

Tell them to wait outside.

Let them stroll the streets and grab something to eat.

Do whatever they want.

Staying with us

would bore them.

You heard that.

Stop watching over me.

If people knew about this,

they would think

I was unmanly.

Go. Stroll the streets.

Go.

Have you stopped following my orders?

Get in the chaise and wait for me.

Yes.

They are finally gone.

You should know

those two girls

watch over me all the time.

I have no freedom.

It must be really tough for you.

I'll cheer you up today. Sit down.

How will you cheer me up?

Nice to meet you, gentlemen.

Wang Er,

what are you doing?

If the two vixens see this,

they will kick my ass.

Come here, Shiyi,

your girls aren't here.

Have no fear.

Do you have

other worries?

Han Shiyi,

are you timid?

I think he is not timid,

but is impotent.

Who says I'm impotent?

Alright.

Come on.

Ying'er, drink with Lord Han.

My Lord.

Mister.

I think

the first cup of wine

should be a toast to you.

If not for you,

I'd never get the opportunity

to meet Ying'er.

Alright. Alright.

We are friends. Here.

Here.

Shiyi.

You are a good drinker.

My Lord.

Let me toast you.

I can drink myself.

Shiyi,

here is the thing.

I need to talk

to my girl in private.

Go on drinking.

I will be back soon.

Han Shiyi, I have an urgent affair to handle.

Forgive me for not keeping you company.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

We also have things to talk about.

We will stay outside for a while.

Don't leave.

-Have fun. -Don't leave. Come back!

Why are you all leaving?

Don't be afraid, My Lord.

I will be with you.

My Lord.

My Lord.

Han Shiyi.

I'd like to see how you'll make through this time.
