[The Substitute Princess's Love]

[Episode 6]

Be careful.

Hurry up.

Sweep that floor.

Clean it up.

Okay.

Be careful.

Hurry up.

Your Highness, thank you for pleading for me.

From now on, I'll do my best to serve you,

even at the expense of my own life.

Steward Yi,

You don't have to be so grateful.

It was just a small favor.

His Highness said that

there were too few servants in your residence,

so I

carefully selected some capable servants

to serve you.

[Xingyue Pavilion]

I even decorated your residence.

Tao.

Come here.

Your Highness.

Tao.

His Highness said that

Tao had made contributions by protecting her master,

so she should be rewarded.

You'll be promoted

to the chief maid of Xingyue Pavilion.

Thank you, Steward Yi.

Thank you, Your Highness.

From now on,

you must serve Her Highness more carefully.

Yes.

From now on, I'll take good care of you, Your Highness.

Thank you for your arrangement, Steward Yi.

Don't thank me.

You should thank His Highness.

Everything

has been arranged by His Highness.

Guys,

just do it quickly.

-Hurry up. -Okay.

I've never seen you so patient,

and you've arranged so many things for your wife.

She was beaten in order to save Tao.

She's kind and faithful.

I should reward her.

It's such a valuable jade pendant.

It was the death-exemption plate given by the late emperor.

You just gave it to her like that?

This reward

is really big.

These are all worldly possessions.

I gave it to her without thinking too much.

By the way, Sister,

please prepare some

women's jewelry and clothes,

and send them to her

so that she won't always look so shabby.

Even the servants might not be able to recognize her.

Just now, didn't you say that

you would fulfill only one of her wishes?

Those things will be given by you,

not by me.

Your Highness.

I know that

your wife's surname is Shen.

It's hard for you to lower your guard against her.

But she is a good girl.

Look at this home.

It has become different because of her.

She is just a girl.

It's impossible that she's capable of changing the mansion.

In the past, if you came back to the capital,

you would stay in the military camp day and night.

But these days,

after you finished the court meeting, you would come back to your mansion.

There is even more food in the mansion.

I came back to the mansion in order to keep an eye on Shen Keyi.

I was worried that she would cause trouble again and again.

Fine.

Whatever you said is right.

But the saint also said that

we shouldn't recommend someone just because what he says is good,

and we shouldn't give up taking someone's advice just because of his bad conduct.

You're a well-educated man who has read many books.

Since when have you completely opposed someone

just because of a surname?

Your wife may be different from her father.

Right?

Your Highness.

In the character "An", there's the character "Nv".

It means that only with a woman

can this family be complete.

Though it's not easy to trust others,

you can't just give up trusting everyone.

Life is not a battlefield.

There's no need to see it very clearly

or decide who is the winner.

I've kept your words

in mind.

It's surprising that Prince Jin vented his anger for the sake of a girl,

which made people all over the city gossip about it.

Does he have a crush on her?

Your Grace.

Of course not.

A few days ago, His Highness even ordered that

Her Highness shouldn't go near the Shanglin Pavilion.

The personality of His Highness is always like this.

He can't bear to see someone bully the weak.

That's why he vented his anger for the sake of Her Highness.

Besides,

he could also teach Prime Minister Shen a lesson by doing this

so as to humiliate the Shen Family.

It was not because of love.

That's good.

It's good that Prince Jin has the wit to think of such a strategy.

I thought that

he fell in love with a girl,

which made him do something irrational.

He wouldn't.

[Tang's Fish Shop]

You mean Wen Ye didn't punish her,

and he even vented his anger for her sake?

Yes.

Wen Ye killed so many soldiers of our Liang State,

but now he's enjoying his life.

When can we complete the mission?

How he and his wife are doesn't matter.

What matters is that

we can kill him in the end.

How will we kill him?

Do we have to follow Shen Yurong's plan of

stealing the jade pendant

and then slandering him in the imperial court?

How long do we have to wait?

We must cooperate with Shen Yurong.

We're short-handed.

It'll still take some time for our reinforcements, Men of Sacrifice, to enter the capital.

This is just a tactic for the transition.

Besides,

women are always men's weaknesses.

Isn't it better that Wen Ye

has a new weakness?

He'd better sacrifice all he has for her.

Only in this case can we have the chance to win.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Protect yourself with this dagger.

Only after I kill him

can I return to my home country and regain my identity.

When I'm no longer a lowly spy,

I can go to see you.

Can you take me away from here?

I'll repay you for your kindness.

As long as you do your best to survive,

it's the way to repay me.

Can I see you again?

When you become stronger,

we'll meet again.

I've become stronger.

We'll

meet again.

[Shen Mansion]

Wen Ye is so despicable!

How dared he humiliate our Shen family like that!

I wonder what Shen Keyi

has said to His Highness.

[Shen]

It's surprising that His Highness

gave her the jade pendant so easily.

His Highness even went to the Xingyue Pavilion for an investigation.

That's why I ended up like this.

Madam, you must help me.

That kid is quite capable.

She could even ask His Highness to protect her.

Such a valuable jade pendant

was given to her so easily like that?

Has she betrayed us

and told His Highness about our plan completely?

But

isn't she always worried about her nanny?

How come she would dare to...

There's no nanny.

Her nanny died a long time ago.

Has she found out about it?

Madam.

What should we do now?

If His Highness knows this,

I'll be beheaded.

Madam, please save me!

Please save me!

By now, Wen Ye hasn't taken action yet.

It means he doesn't know it yet.

But if we still delay it,

I'm afraid we won’t be able to get any benefits from both sides.

We may even make the Prime Minister's mansion get into trouble.

Madam,

do you have any idea?

Since we've got the jade pendant,

Shen Keyi

must die.

Your Highness.

Here's the stone plate you asked for.

Okay.

Your Highness,

who taught you to make sugar figures?

My nanny.

My nanny said that

the degree of heating is the most important thing.

And I need to keep stirring it like this.

In this way, the syrup made by me

will be clean and clear.

When we sold sugar figures at a stall in the past,

we used this method to make syrup.

It's done.

Look.

Does this look like the back of His Highness when he was riding a horse?

How impressive!

Your Highness,

you even have this amazing skill.

Of course.

This is my skill for making money.

If

His Highness likes eating sugar figures,

my nanny can take this opportunity to enter the mansion.

My nanny's skills

are much better than mine.

Your Highness, here you are.

You made this sugar figure with my look. What does that mean?

Eating the hoof means that

the horse will stumble and I'll fall?

His Highness

is really straightforward,

and is so unromantic.

Your Highness,

how can you think like that?

I made this sugar figure for you

because I wanted to tell you that

for the sugar you didn't eat enough in childhood,

I would make it up for you.

Sir.

It's not poisonous.

Your Highness,

this is a thank-you gift I made for you personally.

How could it be poisonous?

However,

you can't eat too much of this.

If you eat too much of this, you'll...

What will happen?

Your Highness, look.

I ate too much sugar when I was a child.

Her Highness has bad teeth.

Tell the kitchen staff to make less sweet food for her.

I made a thank-you gift for His Highness.

Why did he still bully me?

Although His Highness is nearly 30 years old,

and looks composed and reserved,

he's actually no different from

those childish teenagers.

Look.

That scary Prince Jin is holding

a sugar figure in his hand.

That's very shocking.

The mighty Prince Jin

is even doing such a womanish thing.

Right. It's weird.

[Prince Jin's Mansion]

The palace banquet for celebrating the Lantern Festival will be held soon.

It'll be Your Highness's first time entering the palace.

You must dress up beautifully.

Yunying.

Is there a lot of delicious food in the palace?

In your mind,

there's nothing else

except food?

Try that on.

Madam. Your Highness.

The Shen Family sent a spring dress.

They said Your Highness can wear it during the palace banquet at the Latern Festival.

The Shen Family sent it to me?

This is the newly purchased Sichuan brocade.

Right.

Logically,

such Sichuan brocade

is only available in the palace.

The Shen Family said that they had been very careless,

and among the maids who went with Your Highness for marriage,

there had been an unfaithful evil servant.

Madam Shen felt very guilty,

so she asked the Noble Consort for the Sichuan brocade

and made a dress for Your Highness to express her apology.

This dress is indeed beautiful.

Your Highness,

your mother treats you so well.

She said she wanted to make an apology with this.

In fact,

she personally hopes to make you

look fabulous.

I don't think this fabric

looks very special.

Look at this fabric.

The stitches are dense.

There are even gold threads woven into it.

Under the sun and light,

it'll shine

and make the person who wears it look gorgeous and elegant.

We'll choose this dress.

But you prepared these clothes for me.

I'd rather wear the clothes you gave me.

Silly girl.

Those are the clothes given by His Majesty.

If you don't wear them,

it means you look down on His Majesty, right?

No, I don't.

This is the rule.

You need to wear the clothes bestowed by His Majesty when you attend the banquet in the palace.

That shows

your respect and gratitude to His Majesty.

If you don't wear them,

when His Majesty asks about that,

it'll be disrespectful.

There are so many rules in the palace.

I'm afraid I'll do something inappropriate

and get spanked again.

Yunying,

will you attend the banquet with us?

I...

I'm a widow.

It's inauspicious.

It's not good for me to enter the palace.

What does this have to do with being a widow?

You are His Highness's sister.

Why can't you attend the banquet?

Your Highness.

Her Ladyship just can't.

There's no reason.

But Nian Sanniang, who used to

sell folding fans next to us,

was kind and good at doing business.

Later, she remarried a scholar.

That scholar became an official.

Their life was getting better and better.

Your Highness.

What remarry?

Don't talk nonsense.

Madam.

Your Highness.

Yi Fu asked me to give this month's ledger to you.

Thank you, Guard Wan.

Your Highness,

this precious dress is really good-looking.

Look.

Even under the moonlight,

this dress seems to shine.

Of course.

This dress made with money can surely shine.

Your Highness, look.

You'll look like a fairy when you wear this.

What's wrong?

I don't know, either.

I didn't have the rash just now.

I merely washed the dress.

Rinse your hands with water.

Okay.

I'm used to washing clothes.

But I've never had a rash before.

Your Highness.

Is this dress

poisonous?

This must be Prime Minister Shen's plot.

When Biyun returned to Shen's Mansion,

she must have told Madam Shen that

I had got the jade pendant.

That's why they wanted to hurt me.

Well, Your Highness,

are you going to hand over the jade pendant to them?

I won't do anything to hurt His Highness.

Didn't I make a fake jade pendant?

I'll use the fake jade pendant to save my nanny.

But

what should we do with this dress?

Are you really going to wear it when you attend the banquet?

If you wear this dress,

your skin will rot.

If I'm seriously ill,

I don't need to enter the palace, do I?

If I don't enter the palace,

I won't have to wear this dress.

Nor will I be disrespectful.

I'll go pour the water now.

If animals drink it accidentally,

or someone finds that the water is poisonous,

it'll be harder to explain it clearly.

You should get back to work first.

What on earth does she want to do?

♫You come from the mortal world♫

♫And laugh at me for not knowing about that world♫

♫You waved your hand with flowers♫

♫I see through the crowd♫

♫I got an unexpected period of time♫

♫It was worth it to wander in loneliness in the past on a horseback♫

♫If it's a beautiful dream, what's wrong with going separate ways to our ends?♫

♫Love is a reward, and I'm willing to wander if it lasts long♫

♫Because the flowers once bloomed, I won't forget them after seeing them♫

♫Do you know this glance♫

♫Is the gaze which makes us stay so far away from each other?♫

Sir, are you alright?

Sir, the water is poisonous.

Sir.

Did you come back from the hill behind the mansion just now?

Is there something fishy on that hill?

I'll go take a look.

You musn't go there!

Both of you should leave.

What on earth does she wants to do?

[Xingyue Pavilion]

Your Highness, Her Highness caught a cold yesterday.

Your Highness.

No need to bow to me.

Are you sick?

I might have forgotten to close the window before I slept last night.

I've caught a cold.

I'm afraid I can't accompany you to attend the banquet in the palace.

You don't have a fever.

Is there any part of your body which feels unwell?

I have a bad cough.

I'm afraid it's inappropriate to enter the palace like this,

and I might embarrass you.

Is it that serious?

Then I'll ask the imperial doctor to check on you.

Wan.

Your Highness, it's not necessary.

It's just a minor illness.

Don't bother the imperial doctor, which might bring bad luck to the palace.

Fine.

Rest early. I'll come back later to check on you.

By the way,

when you sleep at night,

you must close the door and windows.

The servants told me that

in the mountain spring on the hill behind the mansion,

there was a female ghost

who soaked in water every day,

and she made people feel so chilly.

If she comes into your room,

your cold will get worse.

Your Highness, I got it.

If you see this female ghost,

you must tell me.

I will protect you.

Today is the day for me to get the fake jade pendant from the craftsman.

For the sake of my nanny, I can only take the risk first.

Thank you.

Don't you need to rest because you're feeling unwell?

Your Highness, I...

No wonder my sister always says that

you behave like a child.

You don't want to enter the palace,

and you want to go to the street market to have fun, right?

Your Highness,

aren't you angry?

Angry?

Why should I be angry?

I know you're bored in the mansion,

so you want to come out for some fresh air.

There are still two hours before the palace banquet begins.

I'll take a stroll with you at the lantern show.

Let's go.
