[The Substitute Princess's Love]

[Episode 11]

[Auspiciousness and Gook Luck Are Gathered Here]

[Virtue and Benevolence]

[Xingyue Pavilion]

What are you doing?

Your Highness, His Highness asked us to dress you up.

Why?

The person riding a horse is Prince Jin.

He doesn't look like a fierce devil.

He's so handsome.

So grand.

[Shen Mansion]

Master!

Master!

Master, bad news!

Why are you in such a hurry?

Prince Jin...

Prince Jin came to our mansion

with a lot of his guards.

Your Highness, why are you here

with such a large procession or parade?

Sit.

Prime Minister. Don't you need to kneel to me?

Greetings, Your Highnesses.

The Princess and I have been married for some time.

I accompanied her

to visit her maternal family today.

By the way,

we have some trivial things to deal with.

The Princess and I are close.

We're in a good relationship.

So I gave her the jade pendant I used to bring with me.

This jade pendant belonged to the late emperor. It's very meaningful.

We didn't expect that when the Princess went back here

to recuperate a few days ago,

she left the jade pendant here.

Maybe Her Highness

accidentally lost it.

It's so valuable.

I'll send someone to find it.

Prime Minister Shen. Don’t bother.

Your Highness.

We found the jade pendant in Madam Shen's room.

But it's broken.

[Ye]

This belonged to the late emperor,

but it was broken by Madam Shen.

Prime Minister Shen,

tell me,

how should we punish her?

Your Highness, since it's your jade,

it is

up to you.

Honey.

Honey, you can't leave me alone!

How embarrassing!

You didn't cherish the gift bestowed by the late emperor.

Hurry and plead with the Her Highness for her great mercy

to spare your life.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, please spare me.

Please spare my life.

I'm also your mother.

In consideration of me

sending you off with a dowry for your marriage,

please spare me, your mother,

and show mercy.

Madam Shen, you want me to spare your life.

Then who would spare my nanny's life?

Your nanny.

Your nanny.

I heard that Madam Shen has a fetish.

She likes to flog the servants

and watch people being flogged to death.

No.

How about letting Madam Shen know how it feels to be flogged?

No, don't.

Please don't.

Madam Shen is 48 this year.

So flog her 48 times.

No.

Guards!

No.

Your Highnesses, I kowtow to you.

At my age,

I can't stand 48 floggings.

That will kill me.

My nanny is much older than you.

How could she stand it?

I...

Your Highnesses!

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Your Highness.

I'm tired.

Let's go home.

Okay.

Let's go home.

By the way,

Tao,

leave the gifts for Madam Shen.

Yes.

Let's go.

[Shen Mansion]

Thank you for today, Your Highness.

♫You come from the mortal world♫

I was useless.

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

My enemy was right in front of me,

yet I didn't have the courage to take revenge.

♫You waved your hand with flowers♫

♫I see through the crowd♫

It's not that you don't have the courage.

You are kind.

But what's the use of being kind?

♫If I can just follow my heart♫

When I was young, Nanny and I were always bullied.

♫Let everything happen naturally♫

I thought when I grew up

♫Only a few years to spend with you♫

I would make those bad guys pay the price.

♫Are far from enough♫

But now

I still failed.

♫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♫

Since you're with me now,

♫Is the gaze that has made us stay so far away from each other?♫

you never need to learn these tricks

or grow up.

Sir, your dishes are ready.

Waiter, a bottle of wine.

OK.

Boss, bill please.

Sir, here's your wine.

Here.

Bro, why did you drink so much?

[Warrior Liang]

Bro.

What do you think of me

compared to Prince Jin?

How can you compete with him?

Prince Jin is a young hero.

He has fought on the battlefield with great achievements.

He's handsome and married a beautiful lady.

He has a wonderful life.

I lost.

Don't compete with him.

Who is he? Who are you?

Who is he?

He's a betrayer.

He only knows how to coax Ke.

No way.

I have to get Ke back.

I have to save her

from the misery.

Come on.

Your Highness.

Doesn't the broken jade pendant

worry you?

About what?

Aren't you worried that if someone wants to harm you,

you won't

have a death-exemption plate to use?

You don't believe in me?

Of course, I believe in you.

Then rest assured.

Don't worry about anything.

I can protect myself

and you.

I can also protect everyone in the mansion.

The jade pendant

is just an object.

It's fine if it's broken.

I'll just be more careful in the future.

That we can be together

like this is more important.

Your Highness, you're like a big tree.

With you by my side,

I'm not afraid of anything.

So,

are you not angry?

No.

When I saw you writing the divorce agreement that day,

I panicked.

That's why

I forced you to come back.

Actually,

I couldn't continue

after writing three words.

I know

you are sincere to me.

But

I can't get over the past.

Is the remarriage

true?

That's all a fortune-teller's nonsense.

You can't take that seriously.

I was angry at that time.

So I said it without thinking.

I'm sorry.

As your husband,

I failed to protect you.

I even doubted you

and rejected you

for a long time.

If I had known the truth earlier,

I wouldn't have let you suffer so much.

Your Highness.

I know

you and my father are political enemies in the court.

It's difficult

for you to trust me.

But do you know

why I have such a huge grudge against him?

I used to have a bunch of fellows

who shared woe and weal with me.

As soldiers in the Tiger Army,

they fought with me for ten years.

When the State of Liang came to attack,

we were ordered to guard the Zhenxi Pass.

We had been trapped for more than half a month.

We waited for the provisions sent by the court.

Unexpectedly,

Prime Minister Shen embezzled military funds

for his own selfish desire

and caused the delay of the provisions.

In the end,

Zhenxi Pass was lost.

My men

escorted me out of the encirclement.

In the end, I was the only one

in the Tiger Army who survived.

Prime Minister Shen attempted to undermine me

to safeguard his career.

There were attacks from the known

and the hidden,

from enemy nations,

and the court.

With this going on for a long time,

I couldn't feel at ease at all.

I became suspicious

and cautious.

I dare not trust anyone.

Your Highness, I thought

you were as invincible

as a god.

After what you told me today, I realized

you've suffered so much.

Compared to your hardships,

mine

are nothing to mention.

You are my princess.

Your emotions are important to me.

Although your surname is Shen,

you have nothing to do

with what he did.

I'm telling you this today

to show you my sincerity.

Your Highness, you are a good general

and a good husband.

Regardless of whether the future path

is smooth or challenging,

I will walk it with you.

Cheers.

Your Highness. Why do you have the bracelet I bought?

What about yours?

This gift may not be valuable

or flashy,

but it carries my most heartfelt wishes.

We'll be together forever.

We need to be paired up

like this bracelet

and never be apart.

Okay.

We will never be apart.

[Xingyue Pavilion]

Your Highness.

Last night, we...

We drank a little wine last night.

You were drunk.

I had to carry you back.

You had to?

Yes.

Don't worry.

Nothing happened.

Nothing happened?

It's true.

I promise

there's nothing between us.

Your Highness.

Stop talking.

Please go back to Shanglin Pavilion for breakfast.

There'll be something between us if you stay here for too long.

[Xingyue Pavilion]

Sir.

The two of you, come to my study.

I have something important to discuss with you.

Did anything happen

in the court overnight?

His Highness had just walked out of the Her Highness's room

when he approached us to discuss an important matter.

I think this matter

must be about Prime Minister Shen.

It must be about Prime Minister Shen.

I was right.

Sister Yunying.

I have something to tell you.

What's wrong?

Why are you in such a hurry?

Let's go.

Let's sit down first.

Then she pushed me out.

Why was she suddenly angry?

That's it?

Objection?

Did Her Highness get angry

when Your Highness did nothing?

This question is quite difficult.

Yes.

Are all women so strange?

His Highness has gone too far.

We slept in the same bed,

but he said nothing happened.

Her Highness might be disapproving

of your sleeping habits.

Did you snore?

Do I snore?

How could I snore?

Does he think I'm not in good shape,

not pretty or charming enough?

I see.

Her Highness's final words were to have you return

to the Shanglin Pavilion for your breakfast.

This means Her Highness has always been thrifty.

She just didn't want you to eat at her place.

That's very possible.

Sir.

I think

you are more important

than breakfast to the Princess.

Maybe

Her Highness had something troublesome on her mind.

Something troublesome?

Sister, why are you laughing?

His Highness despises me.

How can I be his wife?

I have no mood for breakfast today.

My silly brother

is really unthoughtful.

But I promise you

that he doesn't dislike you.

He still likes you.

But he grew up in a military camp.

He knows nothing about romance.

In this aspect,

he is clueless.

Your Highness, look.

[Swear Love]

In Chinese, the word "Swear"

only involves the mouth, not the heart.

And the word "Love"

contains a "heart" in it.

Only by feeling with the heart,

gathering all the details together,

is this the way of love.

Sister Yunying.

I understand.

His Highness is nice to me.

I like His Highness too.

But

I was too anxious

and didn't get the way.

I got angry with His Highness unreasonabaly.

It turns out that being a wife is also a skill to be learned.

Then I'll have to learn it well in the future.

Being a wife is a great skill to be learned.

The first thing

you need to learn

is to manage the house.

How can I do that?

I can't even manage myself.

Silly girl.

You are the Princess,

the hostess of the mansion.

It's natural for you to manage the mansion.

It's time to hand over the backyard accounts

and the keys to the storeroom to you.

I do have something that I want to do for her.

Prepare the carriage. We will go to Dazhao Temple.

To the Dazhao Temple?

Yes.

Bring the Princess here in the afternoon.

Sister Yunying.

His Highness is His Majesty's brother

and Prince Jin with great military achievements.

But I don't think

our mansion is wealthy.

My brother

neither likes gold and silver

nor has an interest in antiques.

He has nowhere to spend his salary.

His money is either used

for disaster relief and aiding refugees,

or it goes to the military

to purchase equipment and supplies.

The rest of the money

is just enough for all expenses in the mansion.

I wonder if the money is enough.

It's said that a newly appointed official always needs to do a few impactful things first.

Your Highness,

what is the first thing

you want to do?

I've always wanted to do something for His Highness.

Tell me.

Your Highness, as long as you want to do it,

I'll support you.

Yi Fu,

go to the market with Her Highness

and buy everything she needs.

Yes, My Lady.

[Sugar-fried chestnuts]

Boss.

Madam.

What do you want?

This, this,

And these two.

And these, I want them all.

10 taels in total.

Boss.

5 taels.

5 taels? Madam.

You negotiated for too deep a discount.

I won't sell it.

Boss.

Look.

Your fabric has been left outside for too long,

and the quality has deteriorated.

And these.

Spring is short.

If you don't sell it to me, by the time it goes out of season,

you won't be able to make much money from it.

Boss,

I really want it.

How about this?

I'll add more.

6.6 taels.

Wish you good business.

6.6 taels.

We have a large family.

We will definitely come back to patronize your business.

Alright, Madam.

You should come here more often

and patronize my business.

Of course.

Pack it up for me.

Okay.

[Jinxiu Pavilion]

Your Highness, you're really something.

In the future,

with Your Highness in charge of the backyard,

I don't have to worry

about the monthly expenses.

Steward Yi. You flatter me.

I only know how to save money.

I still have a lot to learn.

Your Highness, you are too modest.

Please wait here.

I'll get the carriage ready.

Miss. A letter for you.

It's not convenient in the city.

I will wait for you in the bamboo grove at Mount Ting on the outskirts of the capital.

I have something important to tell you.

From Zhou Yu.

[Library of Scriptures]

[Three Saints Hall]

[Great Buddha Temple]

Your Highness.

Where is Her Highness?

I couldn't find Her Highness in the mansion.

Please punish me.

Forget it.

[Great Buddha Temple]

There's no rush.

Let's go down the mountain.

Zhou Yu.

Ke.

You are still near the capital.

Aren't you going back to Tianhe Fortress?

After you returned to the Prince's Mansion,

I haven't heard from you.

I was worried.

So I stayed longer.

I stayed at the post at the foot of the Dazhao Temple.

People who come here are all pilgrims.

It's not as crowded and bustling as the capital city.

It's convenient to talk here.

I'm fine in the Prince's Mansion.

Don't worry.

He lied to you once.

Do you still believe him?

We are husband and wife.

We should trust each other.

Besides,

it was a misunderstanding.

We've explained it clearly.

But with your personality,

can you bear all kinds of rules

in the Prince's Mansion?

I'll say the same thing.

If you trust me,

I'll take you away now.

We'll travel around

and live a carefree life.
