[Adapted from the novel of the same name on cmread.com]

[Episode 32]

I won't ask who she is.

Just tell me.

Does she feel the same way?

Even if she doesn't,

does that mean

I can ignore my feelings

and marry another person?

For instance,

you still like Hua Zhi,

but if our parents require you

to marry someone else,

will you do it?

The affection,

you can hide from to the others,

but never to yourself.

Like when

Ji Zha presented a sword.

Since my affection has already been silently pledged,

even if the other person cannot accept it,

I would rather hang this affection

high on a tree

than retract it

and easily promise it to someone else.

[Shen Mansion]

Master Shen, please.

Huan,

to receive the favor of Master Jiang's daughter

is a blessing cultivated over many lifetimes.

Won't you say something?

Good.

Mr. Jiang,

Huan has never experienced

such an occasion.

Let's not make him embarrass himself.

Take a seat.

Mr. Shen, you're too humble.

Huan is truly a great young man

with extraordinary talent and virtue.

I'd like to hear

what he has to say.

Very well.

Cheers.

You are quite a good speaker.

Sit down.

Mr. Jiang,

let's eat.

The embroidery works you sent us,

I have seen them all.

Your daughter's needlework is truly exquisite!

Those flowers and birds embroidered

seem as if they've come to life!

I was telling our master

that we can never find

another skilled young girl like her

throughout the Imperial Capital!

Our Yi

has been pampered since childhood.

It's only in the past two years

that I've started to let her learn some sewing.

I was worried that when she got married,

she'd be laughed at by others.

Unexpectedly,

she's quite talented indeed.

Yes, that's right.

I think so too.

Her works are much better than the purses

given to me by those misses from Qunfang House.

If you don't know how to talk properly, keep your mouth shut!

This...

What kind of a place is Qunfang House?

Zhengzhi,

I toast to you.

I almost forgot about this.

Yesterday, all I could think of

was today's important event.

I got overly excited

and gambled too many times.

The other boys

made me drink a lot.

So today,

I really can't drink anymore.

I apologize, Zhengzhi.

Servants,

take him away!

Mr. Jiang, come on.

No wonder Miss Jiang is so beautiful.

It turns out she got the beauty from my future mother-in-law.

If I knew

that my future mother-in-law had such charm,

I would have trouble deciding whom to propose to!

How dare you!

You unfilial boy!

Take him away!

Mr. Jiang.

Please wait!

Please hear me out, Mr. Jiang.

No need.

I cannot bear it.

Mr. Jiang.

Hurry, let's go!

Mr. Jiang!

How preposterous!

How ridiculous!

Zhengzhi.

You want

to infuriate me to death, don't you?

Master, please calm down!

Look at the trouble he's caused!

Beat him severely!

I know

it's me whom you carved.

It's so ugly.

First-level offense,

colluding with Gu Yangong in secret

to plot for power and seize positions, involving two families.

Second-level offense,

providing Gu Yangong with weapons,

military provisions, vehicles, horses, and others,

involving seven families.

Third-level offense,

privately exchanging favors with Gu Yangong,

[Treasury Minister] trying to be close with him,

[Shen Zhongxing, and His Son] involving twenty-six families.

The Shen Family.

They sent him dancing girls,

calligraphy and paintings,

several carts of antiques,

and an invitation letter.

The Shen Family has always looked down on the insignificant ones.

They always wanted to be

part of Gu Yangong's faction.

That didn't happen, though.

Under the overthrown nest,

can there be any intact eggs?

Commander,

what did you say?

After this,

the Court will inevitably experience another major shock.

So Commander, do you plan

to report to His Majesty immediately

or to continue the interrogation?

No rush.

The imperial examinations are imminent.

Let's wait until this period is over.

The first nine families you just mentioned

should be thoroughly investigated again.

Yes.

What is there to fear?

We still have Qi, don't we?

If Qi passes the final imperial examination,

then our family

will have a newly succeeded jinshi candidate.

By then,

things will naturally be different again.

People of even higher status

than the Jiang Family will want to be our in-laws.

Father, you're right.

It's like a thousand soldiers crossing a single-log bridge.

It's not that easy.

That's correct.

We can't just count on Qi alone.

Let's do this.

You should prepare a generous gift immediately.

Tomorrow, pay another visit

to the State Finance Commissioner

and Minister Zheng,

as well as Defender-in-Chief Wang.

Go and meet with them all.

No.

As the saying goes,

a stitch in time saves nine.

Better early than late.

Don't wait till tomorrow.

Go today and see what happens.

Understood.

Good to see you, Mr. Shen.

Mr. Jiang?

Mr. Jiang,

You...

Why are you here?

I've come to return

your betrothal gifts.

Your parents and sister

must be very angry now, right?

I am truly too embarrassed to see you.

Mr. Shen,

you've already given your heart to another.

Why didn't you tell us?

How did you know?

You made such a scene.

Even my sister has figured it out.

Mr. Shen,

you didn't have to do that.

If I had said

that I'm already in love with someone else

and that I don't want to marry your sister,

your sister would definitely

feel embarrassed, wouldn't she?

Also, if the word gets out,

your family will be disgraced.

So I decided

to let your parents

think that I am just

a hopeless loser.

In this case, after your family rejected me,

I'd be the only one who got disgraced.

To my surprise,

you turn out to be such a thoughtful man.

Sadly, my sister doesn't have a chance to marry you.

But in fact,

the one I love

might not marry me either.

She is not the same

as the other girls.

Perhaps,

we can only be good friends.

Then why did you...

I cannot go

against my true feelings and get married.

Moreover,

Miss Jiang is innocent.

I cannot ruin her life.

Mr. Shen,

no matter what happens between our families,

you and I will always be friends.

As long as you don't disdain me.

Careful.

Don't blame my curiosity.

Mr. Shen,

which family is the miss you love from?

She...

She has no family.

She just lodges with the Hua Family.

The Hua Family?

The one running Zhiming Restaurant.

Then does she know that your betrothal was called...

No, I mean,

does she know you were betrothed?

Perhaps at this very moment,

she is at home feeling heartbroken.

You're right!

She must be extremely sad!

I must go find her.

No, I can't.

Now my family

will surely not allow me to leave.

Mr. Shen,

are you able to stand up now?

You can hide in my carriage.

Shaoyao!

You...

What happened to you?

What's going on?

Why do you always get hurt?

Who knows?

Perhaps even heaven knows

that with you here,

I can take a few hits without dying.

Shaoyao,

I have something

very important to tell you.

What is it?

I don't have to get married anymore.

No need to get married?

Really?

That's great!

You don't have to...

Shen Huan.

Earlier you told me

that you have affection for me.

I've thought about it.

You're not like the others.

My brother and Zhi,

when spending time with me,

always try so hard to protect me

and indulge me.

Like, like...

Like the teacup

on Zhi's table.

Baoxia cherishes it so much

that she won't even allow anyone else to touch it.

But then I met you.

You bullied me from the start.

Only you

don't look at me differently.

We can do bold things together.

And you're not afraid of breaking me.

♪Kaleidoscope of colors♪

So...

So...

I... I have affection for you too.

Xiaohua.

Where is it?

Little bunny!

Little cutie!

Stay still.

Don't move.

I can't let you run around.

Sorry.

I mistook you for Mr. Zheng.

Is Mr. Zheng

the one you fancy, miss?

No, he's not.

He's just a teacher

in our family academy.

Even if it were Master Mu,

I would still jest in the same manner.

And who is Master Mu?

Master Mu's hair and beard

have both turned grey.

Mister, please don't fabricate tales.

I certainly don't fancy him.

May I ask who your father is?

My father is Hua Pingyu.

Mister, what about you?

Are you also here to be a teacher?

I am here visiting with a friend.

I would like to take my leave now.

But I can't find the way out.

Our courtyard is large.

It's only your first visit,

so I'm not surprised that you got lost.

Could I trouble you, miss, to show me the way out?

My name is Jiang Zhengzhi.

I'm Hua Rong.

No.

Qin once said

that I shouldn't let others know my maiden name.

Miss, rest assured.

I did not hear it clearly.

Are you angry?

Don't you want to leave?

Then hurry up and follow me.

If you have the audacity,

don't come home for the rest of your lives!

One ran away,

and the other did the same.

I'm so angry!

Earlier, your father asked you to visit

the State Finance Commissioner and the others.

Any news from them?

Don't even mention it.

Those old foxes in the capital

are far craftier than Jiang.

They have probably heard of something

and they weren't even willing to see me.

The Security Bureau

has already turned Lord Xian's Mansion

upside down.

People associated with him

will sooner or later be listed.

But now it's uncertain

if that list

was delivered to His Majesty

and if our names

are on it.

What...

Hope our names are not on the list.

Sir,

how much is this?

Miss, you have quite discerning eyes!

This is Huizhou craftsmanship,

made of beech wood.

That won't do, then.

The building of our Zhiming Restaurant is quite old.

If this was placed on the second floor,

I'm afraid the floor would collapse.

It's for Zhiming Restaurant?

Then you must be the owner,

Miss Hua!

I've long heard of you!

This set isn't what you're looking for.

I've acquired a new set.

Come, let me show you.

This is the set.

Check this craftsmanship.

These carvings are all freshly engraved.

They're made of brand new poplar wood,

perfect for placing on the second floor for guests.

Are these all newly made?

Of course!

Mister,

this is a canopy bed from Jinling.

Look at these carvings

and these inscriptions.

What do you think?

No matter how many beds you will see,

this is definitely the best.

I'm not bragging,

but in the Imperial Capital, it is only available in our shop.

The other shops cannot afford it.

It's too expensive.

What are you looking at this for?

I've heard about it long ago.

The dowry of a girl from the Imperial Capital

must include a carved bed to be considered decent.

Then I should buy one myself.

You're treating me like a stranger now.

If I brought this home,

they would laugh at me again.

You can do as you did the last time.

What did you say last time?

Again?

They are not fools.

Mr. Jiang,

please watch your step.

Shen Huan

has indeed been staying here recently

recovering from injuries.

I don't know what happened,

but he got beaten up by someone

so badly.

I mean, poor man.

It was painful even to look at him.

I am sorry.

I need to go to the bathroom.

I'll go find him myself later.

You go with Mr. Zhong first.

Okay, then.

You, follow me.

You again?

Miss.

You, the one who got lost.

Why are you here again?

I...

I've come to visit a friend.

Who is your friend?

Miss, please don't misunderstand.

I didn't mean you.

I meant Shen Huan.

Do you have anything else to say?

I...

I...

Then go to your friend.

Miss, please wait.

Recently,

I heard that on Zhou Bridge,

there's this honey slush

that I have yet to try.

Have you tried it, miss?

Everyone, be careful.

Yes, Madam.

Don't leave anything behind.

Yes.

Dear, where did Zhengzhi go?

Why hasn't he returned yet?

These days,

Yi hasn't been in a good mood.

She went to bed early.

As for Zhengzhi, well...

You didn't notice it before?

What's wrong?

These past few days,

when has he ever stayed home peacefully?

He's been outside all day,

acting so mysteriously.

I have no idea what he's up to.

I hope he's not with

any indecent friends.

Father, Mother.

What is...?

Zhengzhi,

you're finally back.

Go to your room

and check your belongings.

See if they're all packed well.

Why are you so surprised?

We're returning to Jinyang tomorrow.

I've told you before.

You just didn't listen.

What's wrong again?

Father, Mother,

I can't just leave like this.

I've fallen for someone.

I need your support, Father.

So many betrothal gifts!

Are these from the Jiang Family,

the Transport Commissioner of the Six Routes?

Yes.

Rong is truly fortunate.

I just wonder how old

is this young man from the Jiang Family.

Eighteen.

I really didn't expect

that my Rong would have such good fortune.

How come he suddenly offers betrothal gifts to Rong?

Rong is still young.

I don't know

if she's willing to accept this.

That family has an honorable background,

and the man is young.

Why wouldn't Rong accept it?

However,

earlier I heard that the betrothal

between the daughter of Mr. Jiang

and the second son of Mr. Shen

was called off unpleasantly.

We don't know

what exactly happened.

Jin'e, rest assured.

This has nothing to do

with the son of Mr. Jiang.

I'll explain it to you later.

Okay.

This whole thing is quite strange.

We still need to ask Rong

for her own opinion.

Marriage is a major affair.

The elders should make the decision.

We ask the girl?

Zhi, what do you need me for?

So many chests!

What are all these?

Rong,

someone proposed to you.

These are all your betrothal gifts.

Betrothal gifts?

What betrothal gifts?

Who sent these betrothal gifts?

Mother, I don't want to get married!

I want to stay with you.

They're from the Jiang Family from Jinyang.

The Jiang Family?

Jiang Zhengzhi?

Do you know him?

If you're not willing to...

Who said I'm not?

Hurry up and tell me.

What's really going on?

Stop asking questions.

Anyway, I am willing to marry him.

Seriously,

a lot of happy things have been happening

to our family recently.

Tomorrow, they'll post the examination results.

How about I take you all to the announcement site

and catch a few more good sons-in-law for us?

Oh, right,

I heard that our Mr. Zheng

also took the exam.

Is that so?

[Announcement of Exam Result]

[Second place, Shen Qi Eighteenth place, Zheng Zhi]

After we give these away,

if we can't get anything in return...

At this very time,

how can you still worry about money?

You're afraid of wasting money,

but I'm afraid that no one will even accept these.

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

What's the matter?

Shen Qi has succeeded!

The official envoy is right at our door!

Shen Qi got second place in the exam!

Are you saying Qi got second place?

That's right!

Great! Qi!

Wonderful!

The top three were appointed by His Majesty himself.

This shows

that our family has not lost His Majesty's favor!

Yes, yes!

Dear.

Our family is now safe.

Where is the official envoy?

Right outside the main entrance.

Quickly,

invite him in!

Qi, my good boy!

Father, Mother,

Qi got second place in the exam!

Master Zheng?

[Hua Mansion] Master Zheng, Zheng Zhi!

We asked around all the way.

Everyone said he lives at your place.

Does he not?

[Good News] [Zheng Zhi ranks 18th]

[in the second-highest class in the imperial exam.]

Zheng Zhi?

You see.

Our family has produced its fifth successful jinshi candidate in the exam.

I only ranked in the second-highest class.

You're being too modest.

Only the second-highest class?

How many scholars are there in Daqing?

And how many actually took the exam?

Don't mention being in the second-highest class.

Even being in the third-highest class

is one in a thousand.

If our Boli can be like you,

I'd be eternally grateful!

Congratulations, Mr. Zheng!

Not Mr. Zheng.

Master Zheng.

Yes, that's right.

- Master Zheng. - Master Zheng.

Master Zheng.

Master Mu,

ever since I joined this family academy,

I've been under your guidance.

Your great kindness will never be forgotten.

Congratulations, Master Zheng.

Congratulations, Master Zheng.

Congratulations, Master Zheng.

Where is Zhi?

Why isn't she here?

Zhi probably doesn't know yet.

The eldest son of the Shen Family got second place.

She left as soon as she knew.

Congratulations, Master Zheng.

Congratulations, Master Zheng.

I'll learn from Master Zheng.

I'll study hard.

In the future, I'll follow Master Zheng's example.

I'll study hard.

From now on, he's Master Zheng.

[Yunlai Restaurant]

Congratulations!

Your dream has come true.

It can't really be called a dream come true.

The result justifies

my ten years of hard study.

I am truly happy for you.

During my time at Jujube Tree Alley,

every month, you had Yingchun

bring me things.

Today, finally,

I didn't let down the person

who helped me when I mostly needed help.

I have another gift for you.

That's a good thing!

Many thanks.

If you had come earlier

and offered congratulations just now,

he would have been glad.

I know.

But without me showing up,

he might be even happier.

The top three

all are outstanding

young talents.

This brings great comfort to me.

This year's examination question

was about how to unite the emperor and his courtiers,

and how should they support each other.

I created the question myself.

The answers from you all

won me over.

Speaking of exam questions,

the questions in past years

were all set by Hua Yizheng.

Regarding that person,

I would like to hear your opinions.

Your Majesty,

Hua Yizheng is learned and eloquent,

yet he was quite conceited about his talents.

In order to be known as a forthright official,

he even tried to tarnish your great reputation.

I will take that as a warning

and to reflect upon myself.

Your Majesty,

the imperial judgment was final.

In my point of view,

it was indeed Hua Yizheng's own fault.

How about you, the second-ranked scholar?

Why don't you speak?

Shen Qi?

Back then,

when Master Hua answered

His Majesty's questions,

he must have also been on the edge between life and death

like this.

Your Majesty,

I dare not to answer your question dishonestly.

I believe

that among all the courtiers,

if we talk about loyalty and bravery,

no one surpasses Master Hua.

Shen Qi,

I have heard

that back when you were in the Imperial Academy,

your integrity was already known

among the Hanlin scholars.

So today,

are you emulating Hua Yizheng?

Your Majesty,

I don't want to seek fame and reputation.

For ten years,

I studied Confucian classics, delved into the path of the sage,

all to assist Your Majesty

in governing and promoting civilization.

Throughout history, loyal ministers

have always placed their sovereigns in an immaculate position.

It is only because of this,

I am constantly filled with anxiety

because of Master Hua's misfortune.

I truly hope Your Majesty can avoid public criticism.

Then what do you think

I should do?

Master Hua is honest and righteous.

Despite opposing the royal will,

he served the empire

rather than personal interests.

I pray Your Majesty will

acknowledge his loyalty

and pardon his breach of etiquette.

Shen Qi,

you and the granddaughter of Hua Yizheng

were betrothed, right?

Your Majesty,

the betrothal has already been annulled.

Then you are indeed very faithful.

Your Majesty,

since the betrothal has been annulled,

there is no longer any connection between the two families.

What I have said

has nothing to do with that.

Come here, Shen Qi.

Take a few steps closer

and let me take a look at you.

Has anyone ever told you

that you are not like Shen Zhongxing at all?

Your Majesty, I do not understand.

We already have a bed,

but we need to buy a few more chests.

Let me see what else we are missing.

[Purchasing list] What is this?

The wedding is so important for us.

Of course we must prepare well.

You've become even more annoying than before.

Apart from these,

I have to get you some betrothal gifts.

I certainly can't offer less than the Shen Family did, right?

What's the matter?

Do you know that

the Shen Family...

Commander,

you're urgently summoned by His Majesty.

Since the list

has long been prepared,

why didn't you hand it to me earlier?

The matter involves accusations of treason, implicating many.

I have yet to untangle

the relationships involved,

so I feared it may lead to wrongful convictions.

Your Majesty, I earnestly request you

to grant me some more time,

so I can thoroughly examine the case.

You think

I didn't give you enough time,

right?

How come I feel

that you have quite a lot of time?

[Shen Zhongxing and his son]

Uncle.

Shen Zhongxing and his son

are just accustomed

to sucking up to the superior and stepping on the inferior.

They flattered whoever was in power.

Those they have fawned over

are not limited to just Gu Yangong.

They are merely petty men.

To consider them as part of Gu Yangong's faction,

I feel

that would be somewhat unjust.

Yanxi.

Just now was the first time

you attempted to deceive me.

What a pity.

The Shen Family is accused of being in league with rebels

with the punishment extending to the entire clan.

Their property will be confiscated,

men will be imprisoned,

and women and children will be sold into servitude.

Do you have anything else to say?

No.

Very good.

Then go and deal with it.

Yes.

Changqing.

Yes.

Last time when I went to the Fengxiang Palace,

I didn't seem to take this path.

She has gone to the Palace?

Yes, indeed.

Just like that time with the Empress Dowager,

a eunuch came to deliver a verbal decree,

asking Lady Zhi to bring some pastries

into the Palace.

His Majesty arrives.

I did not summon Zhi today.

Grandmother, I will accompany you another day.

Wait.

This is urgent.

Yanxi, you are muddled.

If you go to her right now,

this will only further prove

how important she is to you.

You should think about it.

How will your uncle treat her?

I've heard that the Hua's pastries

have become famous throughout the Imperial Capital

and that even the Empress Dowager has taken a liking to them.

You are very clever.

You've even brought your business

to my Imperial Palace.

Your Majesty,

the Hua Family has only women and children left.

We're making pastries merely to scrape by.

Receiving the Empress Dowager's favor

was an unexpected honor

and a great fortune.

What the Empress Dowager dotes on

is not your pastry

but someone related to you.

Yanxi is her most beloved grandchild.

Your Majesty, I dare not to deceive you.

The young lord and I do share true affection.

Stand up.

Open the food box and show what's inside to me.

The sprouting of affection between a girl and a boy

is very normal.

It doesn't matter.

No need to be concerned about it.

I too was once young

and privately committed

to the daughter of a general.

Do you know what happened afterward?

No.

Later,

I ascended to the throne

and brought her into the Palace according to our agreement.

It is just that her father

did not know how to retreat in time

and actually had the audacity to speak nonsense before me.

I then annihilated her entire family.

She ultimately took her own life in the Palace.

Hua Zhi,

you are too young

to understand

that the temperament of those born in the royal family

is different from that of ordinary people.

For supreme power,

there is nothing

that they cannot sacrifice.

Of course,

I also know

that since Yanxi returned from the northern land,

his days have been hard.

Occasionally trying some sweets

to relieve tiredness

is not necessarily a bad idea.

You should be more considerate to him.

After all, if he lives comfortably,

he'll work for me more efficiently.

Alright, go home.

Your Majesty,

I am a sinner from the Hua Family.

Keeping me by Yanxi's side,

aren't you worried, Your Majesty?

Sinner?

Have I blamed you?

Your grandfather

and your father

are both too arrogant.

But neither they

nor you

are of any significance

in my eyes.

Yes,

no significance.

The word "no significance" from you

can be a devastating disaster

to the others.

Not just my grandfather and me.

Be it the Hua Family, the Wang Family, or the Li Family,

to you,

they are all of no significance.

What a girl.

Sharp and clear-sighted.

No wonder Yanxi

is attracted to you.

As such a smart girl,

you should be able to understand

that you being with Yanxi

will only harm him.

You and the eldest son of the Shen Family

are friends.

Am I right?

Do you know

why I value Yanxi so much

and why I entrusted the Security Bureau

to him?

It is because

he is utterly loyal to me.

Also because he can handle matters impartially.

He has no connection with the Shen Family,

but today he pleaded for them.

That was because of you.

He tried to shield the Shen Family for your sake.

So you shouldn't blame me.

Do you know that originally, the crimes of the Shen Family

wouldn't have led to the confiscation of their properties?

Confiscation?

You didn't know it?

I can tell you this.

The Shen Family's situation is just the beginning.

No interference shall be allowed

in Yanxi's loyalty to me.

Anything that interferes with his loyalty

will be considered insignificant to me.

Now, do you understand?

If yes, you may leave.

The pastries you made are indeed delicious.

Next time when you send some to the Empress Dowager,

remember to send me some as well.

If I have time,

I will tell you

about Yanxi's childhood.

Follow them.

My lady,

it seems like the Security Bureau is going

to raid someone's residence.

Are we really following them?

Yes.

Madam!

Search this place!

Something terrible has happened!

Madam, Madam Shen!

Madam Shen!

Search!

Stop right there!

Don't run!

Stop right there!

- Here. - Don't move!

My house is a third-rank official residence

and my grandson just got second place in the imperial examination.

You...

How dare you do this to us!

The minister of the Court of the Imperial Treasury,

Shen Zhongxing, has been imprisoned for his crimes,

implicating the entire clan.

The Security Bureau is ordered to confiscate the family properties

and sell all the women and children from his family.

Take them away!

Let go of me!

Squat down properly.

Don't move.

Don't move!

Stay put!

They really should investigate them thoroughly.

Investigate them carefully.

Madam Shen!
