=The Maid Ballad=

=Episode 6=

Chen Tongxue

came to seek an audience.

(The palace.)

(This is the centre of power for the entire Wei State,)

(the pinnacle of wealth and status in the whole empire.)

(Mother.)

(I finally made it.)

I, Chen Tongxue,

came to seek an audience.

Raise

your head.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Who are you?

Your Majesty.

I am Lord Taicheng's adopted son,

Chen Tongxue.

At ease.

I

have read your essays.

They are well-written.

Thank you for your praise.

I am honoured.

Your biological parents...

Your Majesty.

To be honest,

I don't know who my father is.

I only know my mother.

Her surname was Xue.

I see.

You are

as good as

the rumour has it.

Lord Taicheng

has really taught you well.

All right.

You may go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

(Xuanzheng Hall)

(Mother.)

(I thought father was a good man,)

(but as it turns out,)

(he's a heartless)

(emperor.)

(The most handsome prince.)

(I am Qiancao.)

(I can't thank you enough)

(for the care you've given me)

(during my time as your attendant.)

(I've decided)

(to resign from my position as your attendant.)

(I hope you'll approve.)

Such an ungrateful little wild cat.

Don't worry.

I have talked to His Highness.

We'll serve him together.

Thank you, Lanyao.

We are best friends.

To be honest,

I'm a little nervous.

Your Highness.

Xuan Qiancao is here.

My name is Xuan Qiancao.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I heard

you wanted to be my attendant.

Yes.

I have always wanted to serve you.

Good.

From now on,

you are...

You can't go in.

Your Highness.

Prince Chen...

Your Highness.

My attendant is disobedient

and has lost her way.

Sorry to have disturbed you.

I will

visit you some other time to make amends.

No.

I...

You...

Stop.

Hey.

What do I have against you?

Can you stop it?

Have I treated you badly?

You have been very kind to me,

but even though

I am a mere slave,

I have my own ambitions.

I just think

His Highness is a kind-hearted man.

So I want to serve him wholeheartedly.

(You are a stumbling block to my cause.)

(If this goes on,)

(how am I going to avenge my father?)

Your resignation letter.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

I can't approve it.

Why?

Because

you are mine.

(Imperial Academy)

Have you heard?

The Supreme Court has issued a notice.

Liaohua is responsible for

Dihua and Luhua's death.

This is odd.

Indeed.

They were the trio of Grass Academy

who often bullied other slaves.

How come...

No idea.

(Bamboo garden, Lin Yi) By the way,

(Bamboo garden, Lin Yi) the lantern festival is coming up.

Do you know who will perform the ritual dance this year?

Who?

Tell us.

You know,

the one we talked about before.

Look.

The daughter of the Minister, He Lingying.

(Imperial Official's Daughter, He Lingying) It's Lady He.

(Imperial Official's Daughter, He Lingying) She is so beautiful.

Lady He.

So pretty.

- Bravo! - Bravo!

(So pretty.)

(Lingying.)

(It's been a long time.)

(I am no longer on a par with her.)

(I wonder)

(if she remembers me.)

Prince Chen.

It's better to

deliver the lanterns yourself.

You're right.

I should be hands-on.

I did it myself.

I mean

it would be better for you to personally

give it to Lady He.

Who said

I was giving it to her?

What do you mean?

Don't you like it?

It doesn't matter whether I like it or not.

The point is Lady He.

Lady He.

Lady He.

What a good dance.

Thank you.

Lady He.

This is for you.

This lantern is beautiful,

but not as beautiful as you are.

Prince Chen's lantern is indeed

a perfect gift for you.
