Doesn't Xiao Yanzi want to really leave the palace?

I've thought it through and I want that, so I've decided. Let's do it!

I'll go back to the palace now to tell Royal Father that I want Ziwei in the palace.

However, it seems unfair to make you a maid.

I'll say that I want you to be my little sister.

Look at you! You're Xia Yuhe's daughter so how could you have a sister?

Let's go with just "maid" because only maids can easily enter the palace.

If we are really going to do this, we must make up a good story and make sure it's perfect.

I still disagree! No matter how perfect the story is,

once it gets to Xiao Yanzi, it'll become a disaster.

Can't you have a little faith in me?

This affects Ziwei's reunion with her father.

It's not just my head, but also whether Ziwei and Erkang can marry each other.

Do you think I don't know how serious this is?

Just make up the story now.

I will definitely memorize it word for word if I have to!

I can't stand having Ziwei and everyone else suffer because of me.

If Ziwei goes missing again,

I can't continue being a princess anymore.

No, I don't think it's a good idea.

I can't explain why but I just think it's too risky.

Being able to meet His Majesty in the palace is indeed very tempting.

Even if we can't reunite, it would be great that I can get close to him,

but I'm worried Xiao Yanzi will care and feel sorry for me,

then impulsively end up blurting out the truth.

- I won't have that! I refuse! - Stop being so fussy!

If I were to spill it all, I could have already done it, too.

Think about it! This is such a great idea.

I might be able to give you your father back even without losing my head.

Even if it doesn't work, just having you in the palace with me

would make me smile in my sleep.

I promise you that I'll be obedient.

If something feels risky to you, I'll steer clear of it.

I will only tell the truth when you decide to do so.

If you don't want to, I will grit my teeth and keep my mouth shut.

Ziwei, I beg you, please allow it for the sake of our sisterhood.

Didn't we say to share our joy and troubles together?

Instead of staying in a hut with you, why don't you stay in the palace with me?

Ziwei, give yourself a chance

and give the both of us a chance, too.

Let's test this for half a year.

Within half a year, if the situation cannot come to light,

Xiao Yanzi can declare that you're not needed.

We will take you back home then.

If His Majesty really acknowledges you,

all of our troubles will be solved.

He's right! The more I think about it, the better I think this idea is.

Right now, we are all living in a huge lie, worrying about how to keep a lid on this a secret every day.

We can't do this long term.

Xiao Yanzi's secret may be exposed anytime. It's way too dangerous!

Ziwei or Xiao Yanzi's only chance

is if Royal Father will like both of them.

Also, they do share a close relationship.

Royal Father is an empathetic man so he will definitely be touched.

If he's touched, then he won't question Xiao Yanzi for deceiving him.

Young Miss, your dream, Madam's will,

and Young Master Fu's hope all lie in your hands.

Why are you still hesitating?

However, you cannot only bring one maid into the palace.

You have to bring me with you

because Young Miss and I will never part from each other.

You're all insane to have such a crazy idea!

However, since all of you you want to do crazy thing, then let's do it together.

Time is precious so why are you still dawdling here?

Come, come! Let's make up a detailed story now.

[Grand Secretary Manor]

Father, Mother, we have found Ziwei.

Hurry and rise!

Lady Fu, Lord Fu,

I know that I should've left for good.

I shouldn't have returned to this place to cause trouble for you.

But... Erkang and the others convinced me.

It's neither easy for me to leave nor easy for me to stay.

Don't say anymore! Hurry and get up.

Thank God for letting the brothers find you.

We only realized after you left that

you have taken up a place in all of our hearts.

Child, it's my fault that I was too stern.

Don't think too much of it!

It's good that you're back now.

Let's solve future problems together.

Erkang is right! Our fate is in our hands.

That's right! We've already collaborate a plan to change our fate,

but we'll need Father and Mother to help us.

Here comes Princess Pearl!

Your Highness, I need your help with something.

Why are you greeting me so formally? Quickly rise.

I won't! I'll get up after you agree to help.

What could be so urgent?

It's probably nothing to you, Your Highness.

I want two maids.

You want two more maids?

Are Mingyue and Caixia not serving you well?

No, no, no, they're great

but I just want two more people.

Asking for more isn't a big deal,

It's just that you're only one person, do you need that many servants?

They're not to serve me but to entertain me.

If they're in the palace, then I won't fuss about going out anymore.

That way, Your Highness will have less worries, too.

Do you have particular people in mind?

Do you plan to bring people from outside the palace?

Your Highness, let me have my way this once.

I know that you love me.

Whenever there's something delicious or useful, you'd give it all to me.

When Her Majesty scolds me, you always take my side.

I will definitely repay you in the future.

Let me have my way and allow me to have those two maidservants.

Which two?

One is called Ziwei and the other is called Jinsuo.

They both work in Lord Fu's home.

Fu Lun? Their family again?

You're really close to them?

They are really nice and we click really well.

Moreover, they're like sisters to me.

If they enter the palace, the palace won't need to give them a salary.

I have a lot left from the money Royal Father gave me.

I will pay them out of my pocket.

I just need you to let them come to the palace.

Okay, I will take note of this.

- Let me think about it. - What's there to think about?

My Shu Fang Zhai Palace has leftover food every day.

Feeding two more mouths is no problem at all.

But you still cannot just have things done however you please.

You have to at least give me some time to think about it.

You mean those two ladies are Princess Pearl's sworn sisters?

Yes. Back then, Princess Pearl had just entered the palace.

When she met Ertai, she told Ertai to take care of them.

How would Ertai know what to do?

So I went on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, the girls are so clean and pure.

I liked them at first sight,

so I took them home with me and let them help with chores.

That way, when Princess Pearl misses them, she can meet them at my home.

That's how it was.

That child... Why didn't she directly tell me so?

Then, did the princess sneak out last time is to meet them?

That's right! The three of them are really close.

Then, do you think there'd be any problems

if they became palace maids?

Princess Pearl is now His Majesty's favorite person.

This is a result of your good management.

To be honest, someday, we may need her help.

What's wrong with pleasing her?

The two of them won't make a difference in the palace.

As for their character, I can be their guarantor.

You're right, Sister! You indeed think a lot more thoroughly.

It is settled then.

Send them to the palace in two days.

You will be going to the palace tomorrow.

You two must take good care of yourselves.

Please don't worry, Lady Fu! We will be careful.

Remember! Don't address Ziwei by Young Miss anymore.

You can only call her by her name.

All right.

I will call her, Ziwei, and address Xiao Yanzi as Her Highness.

That's right!

Lady Fu, I've troubled you for so long

and caused you so much worry.

I even asked you to help get me into the palace.

You did a lot of things that you would've never done.

I really don't know how to thank you.

We will not be apart for long.

When you return,

call me Mother

and thank me for the rest of your life.

Ziwei, can I have a few words with you alone?

Jinsuo, I still have some more gifts.

Help me deliver them to Xiao Yanzi.

Come!

Mother.

Ziwei,

sending you to the palace

is the last option we have.

I've thought hard but this risk is the only way

for everyone to get what we all want.

However, deep down, I really wish you would never leave me again.

The palace walls may only be walls,

but they feel impenetrable.

I really am worried and reluctant to let you go.

After you enter the palace tomorrow, I still continue to worry.

I don't know how long I will have to worry.

Although you have not gone yet, I'm already feeling regretful.

I don't know if this is a decision well made.

So, you must promise me.

Please be extremely careful.

Don't worry! I'm not Xiao Yanzi.

I will be very careful and very cautious.

I know the arrangements you made contradict with your will.

I also know how much you've considered for my sake.

You know how much I yearn to see His Majesty.

You also know I returned to your home

because I had no choice.

Now, you're sending me to the palace.

This will resolve my awkward situation

and build a path for our future reunion.

You've really made so much effort.

If I didn't understand your intentions,

I wouldn't be following through with this.

Sometimes, I hate being born as a child of an official.

It takes my freedom away.

When I found you at Yoyo Valley,

I should've put you on my horse and just left with you,

without ever looking back.

If you did that, you wouldn't be the Fu Erkang who's responsible and accountable.

After you enter the palace,

it won't be easy for us to meet.

However, I will still go to the palace to meet you.

You must keep in touch with Prince Yongqi,

so that I know how you're doing every day.

You can write letters to me but be extremely careful.

You must hand it to Prince Yongqi or Ertai personally,

never to anyone else.

The palace is not like out here.

You'll only be a maid,

unlike Xiao Yanzi who has her princess status to protect her.

So, you must be careful in everything you do.

Don't rush things with His Majesty, either.

Don't get carried away with your affection.

You must know that

he has already acknowledged Xiao Yanzi now.

I know! I know it all.

If you can't take it anymore, just tell Prince Yongqi.

Don't push yourself!

I know! I know it all.

Remember!

Today's short farewell is for the sake of our forever.

Now, do you have anything to tell me?

Take care!

Just two words?

Is there anything else?

♫ It's neither easy to reunite or to break up ♫

♫ Reluctant to do either, for this isn't just any other night ♫

♫ It's neither easy to meet or to bid farewell ♫

♫ I'd rather be lovesick than have short reunions all the time ♫

♫ Short reunions ♫

♫ It's neither easy to leave or to stay ♫

♫ My heart is filled with worries, which all lead to you ♫

♫ It's neither easy to be sober or to be drunk ♫

♫ After we bid tonight farewell, please remember me always ♫

♫ Remember me always, remember me always ♫

Respects to Lady Fu! Respects to Her Highness!

Consort Ling, here are Ziwei and Jinsuo.

Greetings from Maidservant Ziwei to Consort Ling.

Long live Consort Ling!

Greetings from Maidservant Jinsuo to Consort Ling.

Raise your head and let me look at you.

You're quite pretty, fair and delicate.

How old are you?

- Your maidservant is 18 years old. - I'm 17 years old.

I didn't ask you, no need to answer.

Yes, I understand.

Okay! Your habit of saying "I" has to be changed.

After you're assigned to Princess Pearl,

it may be hard for you to learn the rules.

However, Princess Pearl is specially excused

by His Majesty from learning rules,

but it's different for both of you.

The palace etiquette must still be followed.

If anything goes wrong,

people will question why I allowed you to enter the palace.

Do you hear me?

Thank you for your guidance, Consort Ling.

Your humble maidservants shall not embarrass Consort Ling.

Consort Ling, can we go back to the Shu Fang Zhai Palace now?

What's the hurry? I'm not done talking yet.

Both of you are allowed to enter the palace because of Princess Pearl.

You were not properly trained as palace maids.

So, you should be alert and know your place.

Even in the Shu Fang Zhai Palace, you must not behave casually with the princess.

The palace is big.

Aside from the Shu Fang Zhai Palace, do not loiter at other places.

If something goes wrong, no one will clean up your mess for you.

Your humble maidservant will heed Consort Ling's advice.

We'll definitely be disciplined, loyal to our duties, and not violate the rules.

Your humble maid will do the same.

Consort Ling, don't say any more.

I will slowly teach them the other rules.

You? Teach them? It's better if you don't.

Don't rush, Your Highness! Let Consort Ling make things clear to them.

This is necessary, since it is Consort Ling who brought them in after all.

Here comes His Majesty!

Respects to Your Majesty!

Respects to Your Majesty! Your Majesty, how is it that you have time to visit today?

It's a delightful day! Myanmar's problems are solved.

They sent an envoy to make peace.

This shows that our nation is prestigious and our generals mean business.

Do you have guests?

Greetings from Lady Fu to Your Majesty.

I just rewarded Fu Lun earlier.

Your sons, Erkang and Ertai, are becoming more and more promising.

You deserve a lot of credit for bringing them up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You! Come here.

I may have excused you from the rules but shouldn't you still greet me when you see me?

- Why are you still in a daze? - Respects to Royal Father.

Are your lips made of gold? You were right.

You said that the nation will become stronger.

You were right indeed.

"With Qianlong as our ruler, no pests will ever grow." That is quite true!

Rise up! Don't always stay kneeling when you see me.

His Majesty has already said, "Rise," then thank him and get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, they are new maidservants.

I assigned them to Xiao Yanzi.

What's the matter?

You usually have a lot to say.

Why are you so quiet today?

Royal Father, that "mart" problem has been solved, right?

What about the "altar"?

Yes. The "mart" problem is solved.

The trouble with the "altar" shall pass, too.

Everything you say will come true.

Mart and altar? What's next, a factory?

Go to Master Ji tomorrow.

Tell him to teach you about the borderlands.

I don't even understand the "altar" yet.

What land?

How am I supposed to understand it?

Royal Father, can I skip class tomorrow?

Because...

Father, this is Ziwei. Ziwei!

This is Jinsuo.

- Enough now! You don't have to keep standing here, you may leave. - Thank you, Royal Father.

I'll take them to the Shu Fang Zhai Palace now, and will come to serve you later.

- I saw His Majesty. - It was really His Majesty.

He looks so young and so powerful,

but he looks like he has a good temper.

He kept smiling.

You just haven't seen him angry yet.

When he snorts in displease, everyone trembles in fear.

They all drop down on their knees and dare not contradict.

Being the emperor is so cool,

but it's nice to be you, too.

His Majesty treats you so well.

By the way, when you were talking about that "altar,"

he laughed so happily.

Young Miss, don't be so sad!

His Majesty just hasn't discovered you yet.

It's your first day in the palace.

I didn't expect Royal Father would suddenly come.

- You weren't prepared at all, so we couldn't get him to notice you. - Right.

Don't be discouraged! We will have a lot more time.

We can think of more ideas to let Royal Father notice you.

I'm not discouraged, nor am I sad.

It's just that I suddenly realized that my biological father was in front of me.

He's so high, almighty,

powerful, and elegant.

My heart feels just like a pot of boiling oil,

as if it's about to pop out of my mouth.

I was so excited!

However...

he didn't even look me in the eye.

Young Miss, don't rush it!

Xiao Yanzi is right.

We will have a lot of time so we should patiently wait for the right chance.

Jinsuo, be careful!

If you don't change the way you address me, trouble will come to us one day.

I forgot! I will remember it next time.

I won't make another mistake.

Your Highness, please walk in front of us.

Your humble maidservant will follow from behind.

Ziwei, cheer up and don't be disappointed!

See! We're together again. How great it is!

A few months ago, we still had no direction,

going around like a headless fly.

We couldn't even see His Majesty but now, we're all in the palace.

- And... - And I've already met His Majesty.

This is only my first day in the palace, yet I met him already.

This is no easy feat!

As Prince Yongqi said, when we hit the end of the mountain road, there is water.

When the willow tree wilts, there are still flowers.

When hills and streams run dry, and roads come to an end,

beyond wilted willows comes a village of blooming flowers.

That's right! That's what he said.

We're done with the mountain road, now it's time to sail the waters.

What's there to worry about? Cheer up already, okay?

Yes, Your Highness. Your humble maidservant obeys.

How dare you call me that?

I will tickle you.

I dare not say that anymore!

- Please forgive me! - Your Highness, please walk properly.

Let's take another route! Just ignore this old witch.

Mingyue, Caixia!

Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, come here!

Respects to Your Highness!

Let me introduce two people to you.

This is Ziwei.

This is Jinsuo.

To the people in the palace, they are my new maids

but the truth is they are my sworn sisters.

Your Highness, how can you say that?

If we have to be cautious even in the Shu Fang Zhai Palace,

then I'd rather we be dead.

Don't worry! They are my confidants.

Just like Prince Yongqi's Xiao Guizi and Xiao Shunzi, we are united.

They'll never betray me. Isn't that right?

Yes!

Ziwei and Jinsuo are my maidservants in title.

I can't do anything about that.

That was the only choice we had if I wanted them in the palace.

Keep your mouths shut and don't go blabbering about it. Understand?

If someone puts a sword on your neck and forces you to speak, what should you do?

Take my head and take my life if you want it!

Great! Since they are my sisters, who are they to you?

Mistresses.

What mistresses? We are one family, understand?

One family!

Treat them the same way you treat me.

If you don't respect them, then you are disrespecting me, too, got it?

We got it!

They must be the two fairies.

It makes sense now!

At the huts last time,

the two fairies that Her Highness made us search for, must be them.

I didn't expect for the fairies to come to the Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

Our family is getting bigger.

Well said! You'll be rewarded, Xiao Dengzi.

Humble servants at your command, Dear Fairies!

Hurry up, please rise! Please do not address us that way.

You shouldn't bow to us, either.

I am Ziwei and she is Jinsuo.

From now on, let's call each other by our names so that we won't raise suspicion.

Jinsuo, where are the things we brought?

This is a small gift. Please accept it.

Don't underestimate these coin pouches!

Our Young Miss personally made these.

These jewelry also used to belong to her.

Since we don't have to be cautious here,

then let me tell you this.

Ziwei is my sworn sister in title,

but actually, she is my mistress.

Thank you for the gift, Miss Ziwei.

Thank you for the gift, Miss Jinsuo.

Thank you for the gift, Miss Ziwei!

Thank you for the gift, Miss Jinsuo!

Hurry, please rise. Please rise!

It can't be helped but we'll teach them slowly.

This master and servant relationship doesn't just confuse them,

Even I get confused, too.

Caixia, drink up! Caixia, finish it all!

Drink all of it! Mingyue, here!

Drink up, everyone! Drink all you want!

I'm so happy today.

I'm so happy that I could faint.

Today is the happiest day ever since I entered the palace.

It's truly my happiest day ever.

Ziwei, here!

Let's drink! We must clink glasses, won't we?

What are you looking at? Don't be afraid!

We've already locked the doors to the quarters and the room.

No one can come in, can he?

- Yes... - Here, Ziwei, drink up!

Your Highness, please behave yourself.

I heard His Majesty may randomly visit your Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

If you get drunk and he sees you,

wouldn't you be in trouble again?

Miss Ziwei is right.

I think I still better go and guard the door.

If somebody comes, I can alert you.

Stand right there!

Sit down!

Don't be such a party pooper!

Listen! Royal Father won't come today.

Because when I greeted him before dinner,

Royal Father said he would be treating General Zhaohui to a dinner tonight.

General Zhaohui just returned from some "border" place.

So, they will have a meeting tonight to discuss the important border matters.

Since it's all about marts and altars over there,

why can't we enjoy some wine here?

Come on, drink up!

Ziwei, to celebrate our reunion, cheers!

Your Highness...

Whoever doesn't get drunk tonight is a dog.

It's all right, Young Miss.

Just drink all you want with Her Highness.

If you don't drink today, she won't stop.

I will be the dog to watch-guard for you.

Let me be the dog.

I'll guard.

I'll be a dog, too.

I think I should be a dog with all of you.

Then I'll be a dog, too.

Are you trying to piss me off?

Who in the world actually fights to be a dog?

What do I need so many dogs for?

Come on, sit down, all of you!

Sit down!

Today, let's all be braver, happier, and even more lively! Okay?

If anything happens, you've got me.

How's that?

Here, Caixia, drink up!

If you don't, then you're disobeying an edict.

Come on!

How's that? Sit down!

Ziwei, I want to dedicate this toast to you.

You've been mistreated because of me.

I made you sad, upset, and almost lost you forever.

My sins are piled up higher than the mountains.

With this toast, I sincerely apologize to you.

If you really forgive me, drink this!

All right. I have a lot to say but I won't say them.

I'll drink this.

Come, let's all clink glasses!

Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Dengzi, Mingyue, Caixia, none of you can escape.

For Princess Pearl, let's all have a drink.

For the sake of our heads, let's drink another glass.

May the princess never die and never lose her head.

Here, cheers!

Cheers!

May the princess never die and never lose her head. Cheers!

Come, eat up!

Drink up! Tonight, we must drink till we're drunk.

After deducting two taels, there should be four taels left still.

Where did I put the rest of thos four taels?

What kind of person am I?

Loyal? Not quite!

Brave? Not really!

All I am, is a liar.

I used to deceive people for food and drinks.

That wasn't too big of a deal.

But I cheated you of your father.

I should get struck by lightning and die.

I'm bad and I'm evil.

I even deceived my own sworn sister.

I will go to hell.

But I'm so afraid, do you know that?

All the piercing swords and the river of fire...

I'm really afraid.

Ziwei, you're a fairy.

Can you help me plead to the Jade Emperor for me

so that I won't go to hell?

Ziwei, can you do that? I beg of you.

That's enough.

Let me tell you.

Jade Emperor and Yama

are both very busy.

In this world, there are too many rights and wrongs,

and good and bad things.

They're too busy to monitor all of it.

They've got no time for you.

- Really? - Don't cry anymore!

I promise that you won't go to hell.

I will guard you and will watch over you.

Don't cry!

Who's there?

Someone's outside the window!

Who's there?

Which clan are you from? Present yourself!

You're escaping? Let's see where you can run off to.

Don't you know that I am Xiao Yanzi?

Xiao Yanzi, what happened to you?

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

She's hurt.

- It's bad! Jinsuo, did you bring the Bruise Relief Cream? - I don't think so.

Cream? We have a lot of them.

His Majesty said Her Highness gets hurt easily, so he gave us a lot of ointments.

Prince Yongqi also sent a lot over. Okay, I'll go get them.

- Hurry! - It's okay now.

Who was that jerk? Peeking on us in the middle of the night.

What's there to see? Show yourself if you dare!

Lower your voice.

- Your Highness. - I beg you.

You can't even stand properly. How can you catch him?

Your Highness, he escaped already. We can't catch up to him anyway.

He practices martial arts?

What's so great about that?

Bullying us because none of us are skilled, are you?

- Lower your voice! - Peeking in the middle of the night!

What's there to see? Let me tell you.

- Tomorrow, I will bring in Liu Qing and Liu Hong, too. - Okay, okay.

Then, I'll see how you can escape.

- I'm so mad. - Enough!

Don't go there!

Why would someone be outside the window?

What does he want?

I don't think he means well so we should all be careful.

Who cares!

Let's continue to drink!

Don't let these lowlife people ruin our mood!

Let's go!

Come back!

I think we should end this now.

Young Miss, put Her Highness to sleep and I will clean the table.

You both put Her Highness to sleep, we will do the cleanup.

- Yeah, we will clean up. - We will clean up.

- We'll clean up. - All right, Her Highness needs her sleep.

Drink! Let's continue to drink.

Come back! Let's go back to your room.

Drink!

Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!

There are two new people in Princess Pearl's chambers.

I asked Xiao Luzi, he said Consort Ling

privately granted two maidservants to Her Highness.

In the afternoon, I saw Her Highness and the two maidservants acting so friendly with each other.

- They looked really close! - There is such thing?

There's something even weirder!

The doors of the Shu Fang Zhai Palace are locked tight tonight.

I got Saiwei to spy on them and guess what happened?

They locked the door and drank wine in their room.

The princess and a bunch of servants, seated at the same table,

all hopelessly drunk.

How dare they!

How dare they behave so presumptuously!

With His Majesty pampering her, with Consort Ling on her side,

they disregard everyone else in the palace.

Consort Ling and Princess Pearl

are always putting up acts together.

What's odd is that His Majesty

just seems to accept whatever act they put up.

Your humble servant really can't understand.

Why does His Majesty trust them so much?

Your humble servant is willing to bet with her head!

There must be something wrong with this Princess Pearl.

A princess appeared out of thin air

and made a fool out of His Majesty.

He won't even pay any attention to my 12th Prince!

Prince Yongqi is very close to Princess Pearl.

It's because they all are on the same side.

Consort Ling, Princess Pearl, Prince Yongqi, and even the Fu Lun family...

They must be up to something.

I'm very sure about that.

Consort Ling had two daughters in a row.

She probably can't have a son,

so she's placing her bets on Prince Yongqi.

Your Majesty, lower your voice!

Nanny Rong, be on alert.

Get a few new servants

to keep an eye on that Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

If anything happens, notify me immediately.

You needn't worry about this, Your Majesty.

It has already been arranged.

We have a lot of time,

so do not be anxious, Your Majesty.

Let's just wait for a chance.

Such an uncivilized wench!

How dare she go against me in public?

If I can't take her down,

then what's the point of being an empress?

The three of you just came in like this?

What if someone sees you?

Prince Yongqi is a prince; of course, he can go around the palace freely.

I'm with Prince Yongqi so it's fine, too.

But as for Erkang's frequent visits to the palace...

that's problematic.

Then you should hurry up and leave, Erkang.

Don't let anyone see you!

I already took the risk to come here so don't worry about it anymore.

Even if someone sees me,

I'll just say I came with Prince Yongqi for work and that would do.

If His Majesty is still in the palace,

it makes sense for me to be here with him.

How are you? Are you okay?

Any progress?

It has only been a few days, what progress can there be?

Aside from the brief encounter with His Majesty on the first day,

I haven't seen him since.

Be concise! We need to go after you're done talking.

With the three of us at Shu Fang Zhai Palace like this,

it is a little eye-catching.

What happened to your forehead?

- Did you fight again? - You, three musketeers, should hurry up and think of a solution for me.

Either find me some kung fu masters,

or send Liu Qing and Liu Hong into the palace to become my guards.

You wish!

We just got Ziwei and Jinsuo in, which was difficult enough.

And now you want Liu Qing and Liu Hong here, too?

After getting Liu Qing and Liu Hong here, you would probably want us to bring in

Little Bean, Little Tiger, Little Bao, along with everyone else.

Do you plan to move the entire compound house into the palace?

But at night, there are thieves here in my palace.

It was already the middle of the night, yet there was a spy peeking on us.

My kung fu is getting worse.

I tried to climb the window but I hit my head.

That's because you were drunk.

Someone was peeking?

Did you see who it was?

Why weren't Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi on guard outside?

They were both drunk.

Xiao Yanzi insisted on holding a welcome party for us last night.

In the end, everyone got drunk.

Don't be too capricious!

No matter how happy you are, you cannot let everyone get drunk!

At least, let Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi stay sober.

No, no, no! Not just Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi,

none of you should be getting drunk.

In the palace, there are foes everywhere, you can't be too careful enough.

You all have a mission and aren't here to play.

Until this is settled, you are all in danger.

How can you not have any vigilance at all?

That's enough! Stop lecturing me.

- We're humans so there is bound to be times we can't control ourselves. - It's the same for you.

You know it's inappropriate to be at my palace, yet you still came.

Xiao Yanzi is right! Hurry and say what you want.

If you need some space, we can leave.

Here comes Her Majesty!

Long live Your Majesty!

Long live Your Majesty!
