(The Imperial Academy Training Grounds)

The yearly

selection of attendants

of the Imperial Academy

is about to begin.

Those who perform well

may become

attendants to the Crown Prince

and the imperial relatives.

Good luck.

I must be chosen by the Crown Prince.

The first round

is to cross the balance beam.

The challenger will carry 30 jin of water

and cross the balance beam.

If you fall off in the middle,

you will be scored on the number of balance beams you have passed.

The second round

is a literacy test.

(Corners, roughness, obstacles)

The first person to answer the question

scores.

I'll go first.

Recess.

Evening mist.

Discord.

The third round

is a talent show.

Each challenger will showcase their own talent

within 15 minutes.

His Highness will give the final score.

The winner of

this selection competition is

Xuan Qiancao.

Since you're good at all subjects,

I will

take you with me.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Pardon me, Your Highness.

Qiancao

is my person.

I hope

you don't mind.

Me?

Fine then.

You.

Come with me.

Yes, Your Highness.

Put me down.

You may go then.

I won't stop you.

His Highness must have chosen

another attendant by now.

You've taken me away in public

and you are a prince.

Who will dare to take me as an attendant?

Then there's nothing I can do about it.

You might as well

go back to Grass Academy.

You...

If you don't have a place to go,

then you'll have to

come with me.

Fine.

I can be your attendant,

but

I have conditions.

What is it?

Firstly,

I will never do things that are against reason.

Secondly,

you and I

are even now.

I don't owe you any favours.

Thirdly,

I...

I will never be your maid in name.

Time to work.

(Taicheng Royal Mansion)

(Taicheng Royal Mansion) Congratulations.

You finally have your own room.

Prince Chen is really kind to you.

Seriously?

He deliberately

contradicts me to get me into trouble.

Otherwise, I would have...

By the way,

I also want to congratulate you

on becoming His Highness's attendant.

Good luck to you, too.

Prince Chen insisted to choose you

even though he was against the Crown Prince.

He must be interested in you.

He's interested in me?

No.

He's just being mean to me.

You know what?

I called him a pervert before.

So he has a grudge against me.

He just messed with me on purpose.

All I'm asking is for him

to leave me alone,

to stop bothering me

and to stop being a stumbling block to me.

Forget it.

Don't mention him.

He's such bad luck.

Let's go in and see.

All right.

So Chen Tongxue

is indeed a playboy.

Exactly.

Nice liquor.

Tongxue.

The new attendant

is very attentive.

Attendant?

Her?

She is just

a heartless wild cat.

What are you talking about?

We've finally found the Xuan descendant

and now she's your maid.

So all you have to do is make her fall in love with you

and share a bed.

Still, I don't understand one thing.

She seems to be very wary of me.

You know what?

She actually named some conditions.

She said

she would never be a maid in name.

Seriously?

She also said I was

a pervert.

He is

indeed

a pervert.

She...

She's so brazen.

This won't do.

I need to ask her.

But...

Don't be rash.

Don't press her too much.

I know.

Your Highness.

I have been secretly following Prince Chen.

He is most likely to be the imperial prince who was abandoned.

Keep an eye on him

and look for a chance to...

Yes.

Lanyao, leave us alone.

Yes.

What do you want?

You're drunk.

Stay away from me.

Don't come near.

Didn't you say

I was a pervert?

No...

Why does the adopted son of Lord Taicheng

care so much about a slave?

I think

there must be something about Qiancao

that impresses Prince Chen.

After all,

Prince Chen has saved Qiancao several times before.

Are you acquainted with that slave?

Yes.

In Grass Academy,

she and I were often bullied by other slaves.

Qiancao helped me a lot.

Very good.

Then

make good use of that slave

to spy on Chen Tongxue.

Report any situation

to me immediately.

If you do as you are told,

I will not

neglect you.

Yes, Your Highness.

Don't come near.

Stop.

I'll show you

what a pervert is.
