These are my sons.

Your Majesty, don't you have daughters?

Of course, I do. I have eight daughters.

Why don't I see any of them?

It's a Qing custom. Daughters do not greet guests.

Daughters are no less valuable than sons.

Without women, there wouldn't be men.

In Tibet, both sons and daughters are equally precious.

Please.

They're coming!

Xiao Yanzi!

Respects to Royal Father.

This is one of my daughters, Princess Pearl.

Chinese princesses...

(Tibetan)

Didn't you learn Mandarin?

Don't speak Tibetan.

Why do the princesses of China

crawl and speak from the ground?

That makes you look so much shorter than everyone.

Isn't it ridiculous?

I'll compete with you. Let's see who's taller!

Who's taller now?

Xiao Yanzi, behave yourself!

Go home.

This way, please.

[Shu Fang Zhai Palace]

If you only saw that Princess Saiya!

She may be small but she had so much flair!

It was like she was carried in by an eight-men litter.

She was lively and afraid of no one!

When she met Royal Father, her knees didn't even buckle.

When she looked at me, her eyes were above her head!

She looked at me and said...

Your Highness, she even had the audacity to chant a curse at you?

She said...

What did that mean?

That was not a curse but Tibetan.

She said it's embarrassing that I came out on my knees.

We are both princesses.

She was so mighty but I was so inferior.

I'm so angry!

Don't get angry.

Let me tell you, the Tibetans are not like us.

Tibetan is matriarchal society.

Women have a higher position than men.

Really? Is it true?

How did you know?

It's true. I read it in books.

Although Tibetan kings are men, they respect their mothers and daughters very much.

They care for daughters more than sons.

That's why the Tibetan princess seemed so high and mighty.

It's in their blood.

It seems like Tibet suits me well.

Xiao Yanzi, I came to inform you.

Tomorrow, in the arena, there'll be a grand martial arts competition.

The Tibetan King brought eight warriors with him.

They want to compete with our warriors.

We are so busy now.

All of us are preparing for the competition tomorrow.

His Majesty said that Xiao Yanzi would surely love it.

He especially reserved three seats for Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei and Jinsuo.

I have a seat too?

Wow!

What are you saying?

Tibetan! It means we must beat them up tomorrow!

Long live Your Majesty!

Long live the King of Tibet!

Lujia, throw your ball at him hard!

(Tibetan) Hit him hard! Quick, go!

Sai Wei, do your best! You're our main man! Our greatest warrior!

Smack his ball at full force!

Watch out!

Lujia, win this! (Tibetan) Win this!

- Win this! - Sai Wei! Hit him!

Show no mercy! Hit him hard! Keep it up!

Hit him!

Keep it up, Sai Wei!

(Tibetan)

Go!

Go!

Beat him up! Do you hear me? Faster.

(Tibetan)

(Tibetan)

- Sai Wei, go! - You can do this!

- Sai Wei, excellent warrior! - You can do it!

Smack him until he can't lift his head!

Hit him! Hit him hard!

- Keep it up! - Hit him!

- Go! - Keep going!

Good fight! Great!

(Tibetan)

I won!

(Tibetan)

- Go! - You can do it!

- Go! Go! Go! - You can do it!

- Go, Sai Guang! - Go!

Sai Guang, give him a shoulder throw!

Show no mercy! Do your best!

Shoulder throw! Show no mercy!

Do your best!

Shoulder throw, hurry! Shoulder throw!

Go... Hurry! Go!

Shoulder throw!

- Go! Sai Guang! - Go!

- Go, Sai Guang!- You can do it!

(Tibetan)

We won! We won!

Pick it up! Use your levitation skills against him!

Sai Guang, you're amazing!

That's it. Tire him out, Sai Guang!

Tibet warriors are winners! Winners! You have to be the champion!

As if! Qing warriors are the winners!

Tibet warriors are the winners!

Go! Go!

You can do it!

We won!

Good fight!

- We won! - I don't believe it!

Langka, go!

Langka won! Long live Langka!

Long live Langka!

(Tibetan)

We won!

(Tibetan)

Long live Langka!

(Tibetan)

What's going on? Where are our Qing warriors?

Come out! Come out!

Erkang, you're the man!

Show them what you got!

Erkang, show them what you're capable of!

Go, Langka! Keep going, don't stop!

(Tibetan) You can do it!

Young Master Erkang, go! Do your best!

- Awesome! Erkang, that's the way! - Use all your might!

- Erkang, give him a chain kick! - Hit him hard!

Show him our Chinese kung fu!

- Kick him! - Hit him!

Erkang, hit him.

- Hit him! - Go!

- Go! - Go!

- You can do it! - Go!

Go! That's great, Erkang!

Awesome! Get him!

Go! Langka! Go! Keep going!

(Tibetan)

- Erkang, go! - You can do it!

- Langka! Go, go, go! - Go!

- Go! - Go!

- Go! - Go!

Amazing!

That's what we call an expert! That's a real victory!

Erkang, go! You're awesome!

Good fight!

Good fight!

Banjiu, it's your turn! Quick!

Erkang, you won!

Ziwei, he's winning!

This is great!

- Great fight! - (Tibetan)

Well done!

The Qing warriors are extraordinary. Great warriors!

Your Majesty, we surrender.

Says who? We still have another expert.

Don't go. Let's see how skillful Saiya is first.

Don't go.

Your courtier, Fu Erkang, dare not challenge Your Highness.

Let's call it a day, all right?

Erkang, show no mercy! Show her what you've got!

Come on!

Erkang, what is wrong with you?

Did you see her pretty face and lose your will to fight?

Hit her!

That's the way to do it! Keep it up!

Whip her! Whip her good!

Your Majesty, who is this warrior?

This is Fu Erkang. He is my personal guard.

He's also the eldest son of the Grand Secretary, Fu Lun.

Great kung fu skills. They're top-notch.

Do you still want to fight?

Warrior, I surrender.

Saiya has met her match. Good kung fu skills.

The kung fu of the Manchurians are true to its name.

Tibetans have excellent skills too.

Even a little princess surprised us.

How did this Saiya learn to use the whip so well?

Her whip must be custom made.

I wish I could have such kung fu skills one day.

Her voice is louder than mine,

she has more flair than me,

and even her kung fu is better than mine!

She makes me so angry!

There's always someone better than us.

What's there to be angry about?

Yes, even if her kung fu is good,

she was still defeated by Young Master Erkang.

Her hat and earrings flew right off!

If not for the fact that she's a princess

and Young Master Erkang went easy on her to save her pride,

she might've ended up on the ground long ago!

You can keep talking about Young Master Erkang

and say his name so intimately.

Since we came back from our trip,

you've been treating Young Master Erkang differently, Jinsuo.

Not at all. Nonsense!

Here comes His Majesty!

My girls, how was the competition?

Royal Father, you're so busy. How do you have time to drop by?

That Baleben is driving me nuts.

He's so restless.

One moment, he wants a martial arts competition. The next, he wants a drinking party.

Then, he wanted to tour the palace. Suddenly, he wanted to see the streets.

That little princess was also full of mischief. You've met your match.

She has such flair. I can't compare to her at all!

How did you lose to her?

You shouted louder than her. You jumped higher than her.

Your warriors beat her warriors to the ground! Isn't that enough?

You're right.

Your Majesty, you must be exhausted. Come in and have some tea.

Sure.

I especially came here to visit both of you.

I miss those times on the trip.

We saw each other every day and we joked around.

I seem to have gotten use to it.

Coming back, I got so busy.

I feel somewhat out of place.

Ziwei, do you still feel pain in your chest?

Sometimes. But only when I'm too tired or excited.

Otherwise, it's fine.

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

The Tibetan King brough something called the "snow lotus."

He says it's very good for the body.

I'll ask someone to bring it here later.

Thanks for your grace, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty has given me a lot of precious medicine.

I can't even finish them. There's no need to give me more.

Perhaps someone else in the palace might need it.

Your well-being is what concerns me the most now.

Until you're completely recovered,

I'll never have a good night's sleep.

Ziwei, you saved my life.

I'll always remember that. I have it carved in my heart.

I will reward you after I'm done with my affairs on hand.

Don't think that I've forgotten about it.

Your Majesty, there's no need to make it a big deal.

What do you mean by "reward"? Are you trying to scare me?

Once you settle down, I've a story to share with you.

If you're willing to hear my story, that'll be rewarding enough.

Sure, once I'm done with my business, I will be here for your story.

That's a promise.

Ziwei. You've spoiled me so badly on this trip.

Now, I only like the tea you make.

I can't seem to enjoy anyone else's tea.

What should I do?

Your Majesty, if you like my tea, that's easy.

Your Majesty can come here often and I can make it for you.

If you can't come here often, you can let Xiao Luzi inform me.

I'll keep it warm with hand warmers

and deliver it to where you are.

Isn't that troublesome?

I'm blessed to be serving Your Majesty. It's no trouble at all.

You're blessed? Is it so?

Maybe we can find a way

to let you be by my side all the time,

just like my fan pendant. What do you think?

Ziwei.

I actually had to squeeze time in to pay you a visit.

I'm sure you understand what I mean by now.

I may be occupied,

but this Shu Fang Zhai Palace is on my mind all the time.

Take care of yourself.

I have to get busy now.

Tonight, we will throw a grand feast for the Tibetan King.

All of you, do your duties and serve the princess and Ziwei. Understand?

Your wish is my command, Your Majesty.

- Farewell, Royal Father. - Farewell from your humble servants.

You are not a servant.

I pardon you from being a servant. Don't say that anymore.

Farewell, Master.

Farewell, Your Majesty.

[Shu Fang Zhai Palace]

What did His Majesty mean? Something doesn't feel right.

There was a hidden meaning in every word he said. It sounded so strange.

Young Miss, did you confuse him?

Ziwei, our secret has become just like that saying. Something string, something arrow!

We must come clean!

I know what to do. I will be careful.

Fortunately, the Tibetan King is here.

His Majesty is so busy all day. He has no time for me.

Once the Tibetan King leaves, we will reveal all of the secrets.

His Majesty may be confused now.

Once the truth is revealed, it'll be clear as sky to him.

It's all right that he's a bit confused now.

But please don't say anything to Erkang, Ertai, and Prince Yongqi.

Especially with Erkang's temper, he'll get very agitated.

He might even end up ruining the effort that we carefully curated.

That would break my heart, do you understand?

Speaking of them,

I don't know what they are up to.

It has been days since the competition.

Even Royal Father took time to visit us!

Yet, they're nowhere to be seen!

Could they really be with the Tibetan King all day long?

Xiao Shunzi said the three of them were ordered to keep Princess Saiya company.

They're always watching competitions on the bridge,

visiting festivals, or watching plays at the theater.

They're up to their necks.

They're with Princess Saiya?

This looks fun.

Do you want one as a gift?

That'd be great.

I want to try this.

What is this?

These are sugar coated haws.

- What is this? - Try it, only Beijing has it.

Does Tibet have this?

Do you want a bowl?

Throw the hoop!

Ten coins for ten attempts.

What you hoop is what you get.

Have a look! There are pearls, emeralds, agates,

books, vases and pendants.

Come try it.

You don't have to pay anything if you win something!

- This is fun. I want to try it! - Sure.

Ten coins for ten attempts.

You get whatever you hoop.

Hold this.

Get that emerald bracelet.

The furthest one. Do you see it?

I see it.

Great!

Miss, you've got good aim.

Did everyone see it?

This lady easily won a pair of emerald bracelets.

For you.

Here you are.

What should we try now?

How about the jade pendant?

- Yeah, get that. - Sure.

We got it!

We won!

Bring it over.

Here you go.

It's pretty.

What should we try next?

Why don't you put something new in?

Once you get it, there's nothing to replace it.

Don't be ridiculous. Put something there.

That's right. Put something back!

Fine.

An antique.

Give it your best shot.

Saiya, try that silver ingot.

See that? The one at the corner. It's there.

I see it.

We got it!

Wow! Amazing!

Boss, put something else back in to replace it.

That's right! Replace it.

Such bad luck.

I don't believe this.

Fine!

I will put one silver ingot back in.

Go ahead.

All right.

We got it!

This is fun!

- We got it again! - This is so fun!

It's a great game!

You must be experts.

Why do you have to ruin my business?

I'm just trying to earn a living.

I have elders and children in my family.

I'm closing for today.

I haven't finished my attempts.

- Exactly. - I said I'm closed.

There are no rules saying that I can't close.

I'm closing if I say so.

A business should be dealt in honesty.

You close when you meet experts

and you earn all you can from amateurs.

You're just reaping all the benefits then.

How is that fair? Put down the items.

Yeah, put them down!

Put them down!

I will put them down.

I want to throw again.

We got it again!

Excellent!

Get something to eat for your family.

Saiya. Saiya.

Saiya. Can we go back now?

It's getting dark.

Let's hit the night market then!

I heard the night market in Beijing is really fun! Shall we?

Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei.

These are new clothes for you.

His Majesty said that there will be a lot of parties and celebrations these days.

You might be bored here, so His Majesty invited you too.

These new clothes are for you.

Celebrations? For what?

Is it for the Tibetan King?

Isn't he a weird one? Is he abandoning his country?

He's been in Beijing so long. Why hasn't he left yet?

It seems they're having too much fun away from home.

Even a bunch of roaming rats have to go home sometime.

The new clothes are beautiful!

Perhaps new clothes

aren't the only rewards that will come incessantly from now on.

Ziwei, you're going to live a life

of infinite wealth and prosperity.

Your Highness, are you talking about me, your humble maidservant?

I heard His Majesty has already pardoned you from calling yourself a servant.

If you aren't a servant to His Majesty,

then you shall not call yourself that before me either.

From now on, let's regard each other equally.

Your humble servant is not worthy of that.

You blocked that dagger for His Majesty.

You aren't just a savior to His Majesty alone.

I'm forever grateful to you too.

His Majesty has been thinking about you all the time.

It won't be long before you leave the Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

Why? Why is that so?

Ziwei and I are already so used to staying in Shu Fang Zhai together.

We don't want to move or be apart.

Consort Ling, please tell Royal Father about this.

There's no need for such trouble.

Ziwei and I are inseparable.

What do you mean by inseparable?

You will get married one day.

Is Ziwei supposed to get married off with you?

Marry? Marry who?

I wouldn't know then.

But lately, I've been hearing His Majesty say

that he wants to marry you off.

What for?

We haven't even told him our story.

Ziwei, just come to me if there's anything you need,

even if it's money that you need.

If you are sick, let me know too.

I will take care of you.

It was me who brought you into the palace in the first place.

In my heart, you are like my family.

Don't treat me as an outsider.

Don't say that, Your Highness.

Your Highness has always treated Xiao Yanzi and me really well.

We are so grateful towards Your Highness.

Of course, you're not an outsider.

That's great then.

I've already gotten some jewelry made for you.

I'll send them to you in a few days' time.

His Majesty has been occupied with the Tibetan King lately,

so His Majesty may not have time to visit.

A lot of things are pending until the Tibetan King leaves.

But this Princess Saiya may want a political marriage with us,

so we would need to prioritize her wedding first.

Political marriage? Who is she marrying?

Haven't you heard?

It's what Baleben wants.

His Majesty wants to solve the issues in Tibet.

They are really getting along,

so Prince Yongqi and the Fu brothers

are accompanying Princess Saiya every day, going around everywhere.

Today, I heard from His Majesty that it's pretty much a done deal.

He wants to betroth Princess Saiya and Prince Yongqi.

The wedding will likely

be held at the end of the month or perhaps early next month.

What?

Your Highness!

Your Highness, are you all right?

Mingyue, Jinsuo, Caixia, hurry and get the Baiyu Cooling Ointment.

Are you all right?

What's the big deal? It's just a political marriage.

Who cares? Nobody cares.

No wonder he hasn't come in so many days.

It's because he has been so busy with that little princess.

He better not talk to me ever again

or ever come and see me!

Don't get so worked up just yet.

We just heard it from Consort Ling.

We still don't know if it's true.

Saiya's so aggressive. She is a Tibetan too.

His Majesty wouldn't want her as a daughter-in-law.

Why not? She's a real princess.

So what?

If Prince Yongqi refuses, His Majesty won't force him.

It's his own marriage after all.

His Majesty and the Tibetan King are only betting their hopes right now.

Prince Yongqi probably has no clue about the situation.

We'll ask him when he gets here.

Let's calm down and not get upset over nothing for now.

What do you mean, "He has no clue"?

I bet he knew it all along! And he's overjoyed!

In the past, whenever he had time, he would come to visit the Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

Now, he hasn't been here in days!

That heartless man.

All he does is lie to me, then comfort me.

Since the princess came along, I've become nothing to him.

He must be dying to be the Tibetan King's son-in-law now.

Well, fine.

Wait till the "Ginger King" comes. I'll be his daughter-in-law then!

What are you talking about?

Let's get the situation clear first before you get so upset.

I can't take it anymore!

No, don't be like this.

I think Prince Yongqi truly loves you.

Don't blindly accuse him.

Look. He sent you all this medicine.

You always get injured,

so he sent all the tributed ointments to us.

Oh no! You've hit the devil's head.

What devil?

Who cares whose head it hit?

It's true! The three of them are here.

Go away! I said to scram!

Don't ever come here again!

Just go and have fun with that Tibetan princess!

Why are you here? I want none of your excuses.

I won't be lied to again! Get lost!

What's wrong with you?

We were finally free to pay you two a visit,

yet you're here throwing things and shooing me away.

Who upset you?

Who else? You upset me!

Both of you too. You're his accomplices.

Accomplices? What did we do?

What...What's happening?

Haven't you heard?

His Majesty will pick one of you to marry Princess Saiya.

Consort Ling came by and said that he has already picked Prince Yongqi.

Impossible. I don't know anything about it.

Saiya?

Royal Father wants me to marry Saiya?

Is this really true?

Even the date is set.

The wedding's happening soon! Yet, you're still here acting dumb?
