[The Princess Royal]

[Adapted from Mo Shu Bai's novel, The Princess Royal on jjwxc.net]

[This is a work of fiction.]

[Episode 10]

[Princess's Mansion]

It's okay.

Miss Qin, I'm back.

Why didn't you tell me you came back?

There happened to be my sister's wedding.

I was thinking about going to you once it's over.

Miss Qin,

everything in the army is under control.

You can rest assured. Your brother is all right.

You came back

a little steadier this time.

By the way,

this is the jade I brought back from the border.

I had craftsmen carve it into this.

I want to give it to you.

Do you like it?

I thought you were steadier.

You are playing with these toys again.

Come and tell me about the battlefield.

Let's go.

You bathed quickly.

Mrs. Pei, you're in bed.

Where am I supposed to sleep?

You can sleep wherever you like. I'm too sleepy.

Why don't you come to bed, too?

That's not appropriate.

Then forget about it.

You can sleep where you like.

Wait. You...

Many eyes are on us on this wedding day.

If I go out looking for a quilt,

is it not appropriate?

But I'll freeze to death sleeping here.

Whatever!

Oh, I almost forgot...

Come back.

Come over.

Confess to me.

What does Your Highness want me to confess?

Tell me the truth.

Why did Su Rongqing come to escort me today?

I thought Your Highness had something special to say.

After all, this is Your Highness's wedding day.

I was just trying to please Your Highness.

To please me?

Did you do that on purpose?

You knew I was killed by Su Rongqing.

Yet you asked him to pick me up.

Were you humiliating me?

Why does that sound so bad coming from you?

Am I that type of person in your opinion?

In my opinion...

In my opinion, you're a saint. A real gentleman.

You're being a...

I won't argue with you.

I was thinking

Your Highness's relationship with Su Rongqing didn't work last time.

Then maybe you can start over this time.

Why do I have to start it over?

Why?

Don't you still care about Su Rongqing?

Never mind.

I would be lying to say I don't care.

However,

you and I are married now.

It doesn't make any sense anymore.

I know

you're afraid Su Rongqing will remain the same,

putting power before you

and his family before you.

You say you understand him and don't blame him.

But is that true?

If Your Highness really don't blame him,

why not choose him from the start?

I'll be honest with you.

I talked with Su Rongqing before the wedding.

I asked him

if the wife conflicted with the family,

who would he choose?

I side with whoever is right.

Mr. Su made a good point.

I'll take my leave.

Mr. Su.

[Censorate]

Mr. Pei, what else do you need?

I still have one favour to ask.

I'm sure you know about my family situation.

On the day of the wedding, I don't want them to do anything.

So I dare ask you to pick up the bride for me.

Mr. Pei, you're joking.

Su, you should know

the princess marrying me is expedient.

The wedding of me and the princess is

just a deal.

Then...

Why me?

I think

Su, you want to protect the princess.

But what identity should I use when picking her up?

How about my sworn brother?

My greetings, sworn brother.

So,

Su Rongqing is not who Your Highness think he is.

He still cares about you.

And don't feel old all the time.

You look like you're eighteen now.

At such a young age,

why do you refuse all the possibilities

so easily?

Let me ask you something.

When Su Rongqing came to pick you up,

did you really not think about

marrying him for a moment?

Why should I tell you that?

To begin with, I don't know if what you just said is

true or not.

Even if it's true,

we're married now.

One day when we'll be apart,

even as a princess,

the Su Family won't allow him

to marry a divorced woman.

Rest assured.

I have drawn up a plan for Your Highness.

Wait here.

[Eastern Palace] Young Master Qin

cut three enemy generals off their horses.

The enemy troops lost faith.

We pursued with victory.

By the time we reached the canyon,

there was a whistle.

Ambush?

What happened later?

How did you fight your way out?

Well, I need to tell you in detail.

This plan has

four steps.

The first step is to know yourself.

Your Highness must first make your position clear.

Figure out what your feelings for Su Rongqing are.

Secondly, to know your enemy.

We need to find out

what Su Rongqing's feelings for you are.

Leave that to me.

I will make good relations with Su Rongqing in advance.

The third step is to encourage the enemy.

We must let Su Rongqing know

Your Highness and I are only allies.

He still has a chance.

The fourth step is

the most important step.

To capture the enemy.

I will create some opportunities

for you and Su Rongqing

so that things can happen between you and Su Rongqing.

With your capability,

Su Rongqing should be

captured by you easily.

You really have me covered.

I don't have you covered.

With your face, your figure,

your temper, and personality,

all men in the world

will be yours,

if you want.

Su Rongqing is just another man. Is it difficult?

You've been talking a lot.

Is that all true?

I'm going to believe it.

You don't have to believe me,

but Your Highness must believe in yourself.

Yeah.

What you just said makes perfect sense to me.

It was like a wakening call to me.

How about this?

Since you've thought about so much for me,

starting from today,

I'll work for your marriage, too.

You and Miss Qin

were separated by fate then.

Now you have another chance.

Don't you want to muster up the courage to go after her?

No need.

Miss Qin and I were...

How can that be?

You thought so much for me.

How can I not make plans for you?

No, I...

If you keep rejecting me,

I will start wondering

what your real purpose is setting me up with Su Rongqing.

Your Highness have a point.

It's just that the most important thing now is

Your Highness's relationship with Su Rongqing.

Miss Qin and I can wait.

Then Su Rongqing and I can also wait.

Fine.

Then go to sleep.

You need to stop wandering around.

Sleep here,

so no one finds out.

You and I are really funny.

Twenty years of ups and downs.

We are a couple, but not a real couple.

We are allies,

but not exactly real allies.

We tease each other,

while wanting the best for each other.

I'm sure there's no one like you,

on the wedding day,

making plans for the bride's relationship

with someone else.

What kind of relationship do you think we have?

Didn't I tell you?

I was hoping

Your Highness could be happier on your wedding day.

If Your Highness think well of me,

you can think of me as a brother.

Don't.

I don't have a hobby of getting brothers.

Then suit yourself.

However,

you and I should be able to count as best friends

by now.

Besties?

What do you think?

No.

Bestie.

Bestie, my bestie.

Okay, stop. Don't gross me out.

Good night, my bestie.

Dawn breaks.

I was too focused on talking about the war.

I didn't notice it had been a whole night.

It's my fault.

No. No.

I was just too involved in the conversation.

Since my father died in the war and I stayed in the capital,

it's been five years away from the border.

Don't blame me if I talked a little too much.

I'll take my leave soon,

so as not to let people walk in and be misunderstood.

That's all right.

If you still want to hear it,

I'll just keep telling you more.

One day we can go to war together.

Miss Qin can also find a place to show your martial arts.

Huajing ladies think being thin is beautiful.

People practicing martial arts for years like me are

often accused of being vulgar and indecent.

Do you also think so?

Of course, not.

Speaking of being brave and valiant,

there is only one person in Huajing.

Who is that?

Qin Zhenzhen.

The Crown Prince is sure to be reassuring.

I'm leaving. See you later.

Miss Qin,

I'll let the porter escort you out the back.

If you want to see me, don't fly around.

The guards around me are experts.

I wouldn't want my people

to hurt each other.

Who are your people?

General Qin is like a brother to me.

Of course, you're my people.

Then I'm leaving.

I'll walk you out.

[Shangguan's Mansion] Lately, Queen Mother has been

talking about making Shangguan Ya the Crown Princess.

I just want to ask her what she thinks.

You can rest assured.

I know Shangguan Ya very well.

There were only a few places she used to go.

If she isn't home,

she must be at some tea party or poetry club.

She's easy to find.

Your Highness,

sorry for the inconvenience.

My lady was invited by the Jiwen Poetry Society today

and has been off to the tea party.

She is at the Jiwen Poetry Society.

I'll just go looking for her.

Your Highness, please suit yourself.

Call me if you need anything.

What did I say?

Do you know her well?

Of course.

After she married into the Eastern Palace in the past,

we spent a lot of time together. I know her well.

You know her well?

I wonder what Your Highness think

she is like.

We often talk together.

She's a person who knows the rules.

She has elegant taste and graceful manners.

Though,

there were a few moments when she was less elegant,

overall,

she's someone too focused on manners.

[Jiwen Poetry Society] Miss Shangguan?

She didn't come here today.

Didn't come?

Since Miss Shangguan moved to Huajing,

she's only come to the poetry club once.

But

Shangguan Ya said to me

she used to be here before she got married.

Forget it.

You're never a good judge of character.

Today, the princess has urgent business with Miss Shangguan.

I wonder if you could do us a favour

and tell us where Miss Shangguan

likes to go normally.

Come over.

Miss Shangguan's whereabouts are unknown to us.

But I heard

Miss Shangguan has been seen

carrying a pass to the Jucai House next door.

You might want to look there.

Ju... Jucai House?

The gambling house?

That girl must be lying.

Shangguan Ya is the most standard young lady

of noble families.

How could she go to a place like that?

Impossible. Let's not waste time.

We are already here. There's no harm in a visit.

Besides,

fate gave us another chance.

Shouldn't we

see something different?

[Qionghua Palace] Do you know why I called you here?

It's about choosing my wife.

I'm glad you understand.

I have promised your uncle

to make Ya the Crown Princess.

What do you think?

Now that you have decided,

why bother asking me?

You don't like Ya?

We've barely met before.

There is no like or not like her.

That's easy.

I'll arrange for you to meet sometime.

Queen Mother,

can I not get married so soon?

Is

it up to us?

I promise you

if you make sure Ya is the Crown Princess,

I'll help you with any other girl you like.

[Jucai House]

Open the door.

How do you feel being here for the first time?

Do you come here a lot?

I don't come here a lot.

Full of smoke and mess.

How could Shangguan Ya come to a place like this?

You know nothing. Just look.

I never should have trusted you.

The little girl looks pretty.

Be careful with your hands.

How dare you!

Come and play with me.

Go away.

This is my wife.

Beat him.

Do you see the token? Take him.

All right, let's go.

Beat him.

Knock it off.

Seriously.

My wife.

This is my wife.

My wife.

Are you done with the cuddle?

Don't you forget what we're here for.

To protect my wife.

What are we doing here?

Looking for Shangguan Ya.

Yeah, where is she?

Make your decision now.

Big, big.

Everything you buy today is on me.

Everyone, eat and drink as you please.

Shangguan Ya?

Enough with the food. Here's silver.

Bravo.

Take the money. Take the money.

Shangguan Ya, stop.

Slow down.

Move. Move.

Be careful.

Thank you. Thank you.

Make way. Move.

No.

You go down there and I'll go after her.

Be careful.

Don't look, man.

Stop right there.

Make way. Move.

Shangguan Ya, stop it.

Why did she hit me?

Why hit me?

Are you blind?

I didn't know beauties did fall off the sky.

Thanks. You're very kind.

Take this, man.

I just won them. To give you good luck.

Don't tell people you've seen me.

What? Not enough?

Did you just see a girl

dressed as a man?

I didn't.

Have a look here.

Take a look. It's cheap.

First Young Master Su?

Your Highness, why are you here?

Did you see a girl

dressed as a man?

I did.

She went that way.

Wait. I'll come down. Pick me up.

Li Rong?

Are you okay?

What were you yelling about? You scared me.

I...

What's wrong with you?

Inducing Her Highness to jump from such a height?

Can you make it up if anything happens to her?

I...

You can't blame Mr. Su.

I wanted to jump myself

and asked him to pick me.

She is your princess,

How can you mess around with her?

Mr. Pei just said yourself.

She is my princess.

She wanted to jump and told me to carry her.

How can I refuse?

You're still making excuses, aren't you?

I do the right things.

Why do I need to make excuses?

Mr. Pei, on the other hand, why are you so angry?

Are you worried that Her Highness

might hurt herself,

or did you get jealous

because Her Highness asked me to pick her?

Are you questioning me here?

Stop it.

Let's catch up another day, Mr. Su.

Let's find her first.

Over there.

In the basket.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Mr. Pei, why did you come back?

I want to apologise.

That's not necessary.

Your Highness.

Your Highness...

Let go.

There's nobody in here.

Somebody is here. Come out.

I'll throw you in the river if you don't get out.

What do you want, young lady?

Why do you touch my basket?

Miss Shangguan, rest assured.

We didn't come to catch you for the Shangguan Family.

What?

First Young Master Su, help me.

Why didn't you say so?

Your Highness, my greetings.

What His Majesty does is

none of my business.

He insisted on burying Qin Zhenzhen with the empress's rites.

You know he is always like a child.

You are very mature.

Don't take it too seriously.

I never cared about His Majesty.

There's no reason to take it seriously.

From the moment I entered this palace,

I was destined to go down a path without turning back.

It's the case for Qin Zhenzhen.

It's the case for me.

Ya.

As for His Majesty...

Since I entered the palace,

I knew I was living for the Shangguan Family.

My life is like walking on thin ice.

What else can I ask for?

Let's talk somewhere else.

First Young Master Su is handsome and righteous.

Even more so in real person.

I've heard that Miss Shangguan was the model for ladies of noble families.

Seeing you in person today...

You are really unique and special.

Please do not laugh at me.

I'll see you soon.

Though...

Miss Shangguan, rest assured.

I took your money. I'll do my part.

No one except us would know about this.

First Young Master Su,

you know customs and keep your word.

I like you.

Are you done yet?

See you.

See you.

Mr. Shangguang,

I sincerely ask to marry Shangguan Ya.

Please allow me.

Su Ronghua without the Su Family is

nothing at all.

Father,

please allow it.

Ya.

Someone. Shut Shangguan Ya into the backyard.

My heart belongs to someone.

I don't want to be the Crown Princess.

If you leave with Su Ronghua,

the Shangguan Family

will be the biggest joke of the Great Xia.

Unexpectedly, the two of them

met each other again in this way.

[Jucai House]

Miss Shangguan,

you must be of marriageable age now.

They've arranged a marriage for you.

Didn't you know?

Why do you still come to

such a vulgar and messy place?

I know.

So what?

Your marriage is with my brother,

the Crown Prince.

So that's what Your Highness came

looking for me today.

Do you want to talk to me about the Crown Prince's marriage?

Yes.

I heard the Shangguan Family's choice for the Crown Princess was

you.

Seeing me like this today,

Your Highness must be very disappointed.

But that's okay.

If Your Highness are not happy with Ya,

the Shangguan Family has many girls.

At your choice.

I'm not unhappy with you.

I just wanted to say

there had been three empresses from the Shangguang Family.

Aren't you afraid?

Of what?

What happened to the Yang Family

can serve as an example for the Shangguan Family.

As a daughter of the Shangguan Family,

since I was a child,

I was ready to sacrifice for my family.

Besides, the Crown Prince may not lose.

Sacrifice for the family?

Right.

If you enter the palace,

you can say goodbye to places like Jucai House.

But it's not my decision to make.

I'm just taking my chance before their decision

to have as much fun as I can.

Rich or poor,

a life with only freedom and joy is

just an illusion.

No one can force it.

All right.

About seeing Ya here today,

I hope Your Highness won't tell anyone.

Especially the Shangguan Family.

Your Highness, prince consort, I'll take my leave.

Su Ronghua was the man Shangguan Ya loved before.

After she marries the Crown Prince,

should tell Li Rong?

What are you thinking? You haven't said a word.

I am thinking

our priority now is to stop the Crown Prince

from marrying Shangguan Ya.

But now it seems

we don't have to try ourselves.

Yeah.

I may not be sure with the old her.

Now seeing her being so free,

I am pretty sure

Watching Huajing from the Phoenix Tower.

The country is so beautiful it attracts the dragons.

Phoenixes build homes in a noble family.

Phoenixes build homes in a noble family.

It will still be flourishing in the fourth generation.

The fourth generation?

This children's song is

saying that the Shangguang Family will have the fourth Crown Princess.

[Mingyue Palace] Flourishing in the fourth generation?

Watching Huajing from the Phoenix Tower.

The country is so beautiful it attracts the dragons.

I am not dead yet.

Someone is already trying

to make me give the throne to that puppet of the noble families.

Your Majesty is the most noble person.

Don't let those people get under your skin.

It's not worth it.

The Shangguan Family has gained so much power for so many years.

Is that still not enough?

If the Crown Prince insists on the marriage with the Shangguan Family,

I'll have no choice but to get rid of them.

He is the Crown Prince after all.

Now he hasn't got a wife yet.

Even if it's not the Shangguan Family,

other noble families

might also be thinking about it.

In five days, it'll be the Chinese Valentine's Day.

We can take the chance

to gather all the noble ladies in the palace

to get to know them.

One day, when it's time to decide on the marriage,

we'll be prepared.

What do you think?

You are very thoughtful.

Assist the Empress

and get it done then.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Consort Rou taught people the song

and instigated His Majesty to host a palace banquet,

hoping to keep Ya down

and pave the way for her niece.

It's nothing but dirty tricks.

I won't let her have what she wants.

Besides Ya,

we need to pick more girls

who can help Chuan.

Mother, you must give up your dreams.

The Yang Family controlled the military, so Father destroyed the Yang Family.

The Shangguan Family controls the palace,

so it's even more dangerous.

The Yang Family is a perfect example.

Without the Shangguan Family,

how could he have ruled the Great Xia?

Why being so ungrateful?

Because Father did not forget,

he wouldn't want his power to fall into others' hands.

But why are you so sure

that your Father will win and the noble families will lose?

The noble families have fought the imperial power for a hundred years.

We never lost.

He who wins the noble families wins.

He who loses the noble families dies.

I've made up my mind.

You don't have to say any more.

Now we have to stop Consort Rou's niece.

Rong,

this is where I leave you.

I'm tired.

Rong, I'm tired.

It used to be against Father.

Now Father is gone. I have to fight the noble families,

try to defeat the enemy,

and learn to plot and calculate.

I can't trust anyone.

Rong,

I'm really tired.

Your Majesty is tired.

Go and rest today.

No, it's not that.

Rong,

in my heart,

there is a monster locked up.

The monster in Chuan's heart.

When exactly was it locked in?

Is that now?

But who fed it?

What are you doing standing here all by yourself?

What's it to you?

You don't like me coming, do you?

No.

It's good you're here.

What happened to you?

Bullied in the palace?

Who can bully me, the princess?

You can talk. Why did you hit me?

I wanted to.

You...

You can be nice to other people.

But you always hit me.

You need to change that habit.

I suggest you

look for reasons in yourself when there's a problem.

Why don't I mess with other people,

but just you?

Tong Ye.

I didn't hear anything.

You heard nothing.

Help me up.

[Princess's Mansion]

Prince consort, you asked for me?

When Her Highness was in the palace today,

did she argue with the Crown Prince?

Not really.

They just talked a little.

It seems that the Crown Prince is not ready to accept a wife.

But after the princess talked to you,

she became much happier.

Don't tell Her Highness what I said to you.

Prince consort, it's...

Just do it.

Fine, fine. I know.

Prince consort, you secretly care about her.

No, don't read too much into it.

All right, I'll prepare some soothing incense.

I'll go to Her Highness in a moment.

Leave me.

Yes.

Let's play.

Okay.

Did Consort Rou give you another hard time?

Consort Rou proposed to Father

to host a party

to choose a wife for Chuan.

Father has agreed.

I'm just worried

she would take this opportunity to ask for Father's permission

to make her niece the Crown Princess.

Such a small thing could have you worry so much?

That's not like you.

In fact,

there's one thing I can't figure out.

Before,

why do you think Chuan became that way?

He was already the emperor.

He wiped out the noble families and pacified the North.

He had everything he wanted.

But why was he still

so painful?

Just because Qin Zhenzhen died?

Can love for one person last so long?

Li Rong,

do you know why the Crown Prince

insisted on uniting the North?

Because the wars in the North caused the people too much suffering.

Of course.

And beyond that?

He didn't tell me.

He told me.

Do you remember Princess Yunyan?

Of course.

That was a long time ago.

That was Xuanzhi 8th year.

There were constant wars between the North and the Great Xia.

The noble families wanted stability,

so they chose to talk.

They let Princess Yunyan marry into the North.

I remember the Great Xia

sent twenty million grams of silver,

five hundred maids,

cattle, horses, silks, and satins.

But unexpectedly,

after only one year,

Princess Yunyan died in a foreign place.

Your Father told the public

Princess Yunyan died of illness.

But everyone in the palace knew

Princess Yunyan died in the enemy's harem.

Why are you suddenly telling me this?

Your Highness, why do you tell me this?

You don't know.

The day we knew Princess Yunyan died,

my sister was only ten.

She stayed up all night and asked Mother

if one day,

she would be like Princess Yunyan

who married to the North and died there.

It was decades ago.

I don't even remember.

But the Crown Prince remembers.

From that moment on, I told myself,

if one day I took the throne,

I would go straight North

and bring the foreign enemy to their knees,

never daring to offend us.

So his idea of conquering the North

formed so early.

Thus,

you and the Crown Prince are

the same people, essentially.

You are rational.

But his every move is driven by emotion.

He wants to go North.

He wants to fight the noble families.

It's to protect the people and his family.

Unfortunately,

although he got what he wanted,

he had already forever lost

what he originally wanted.

Do you think he'll be happy?

Didn't he just lose

Qin Zhenzhen?

He lost his Mother,

his wife.

He also lost you,

and himself.

Even with mountains and rivers in hands,

there is no point to that.

How did he lose me?

Time has changed more than just the Crown Prince.

It also changed you and me.

Those who forsook us shall not stay.

Bygones are bygones.

We lost this one.

Let's just start over.

Who said I lost?

If you go out in the future,

let me pick you up.

Why?

Aren't you glad I picked you up today?

I was okay.

That will do.

Later when you go out,

I'll come to take you home.

So you can have company on the way home.

It wouldn't be so boring.

Tell me the truth.

Are you going to ask me for money again?

Li Rong, oh Li Rong.

You're that type of ungrateful...

All right, you have my permission.

Before you and I go our separate ways,

pick me up every day.

Go to sleep.

You can find everything in dreams.
