Father, Mother.

All things have been brought to light.

If the one in the palace is Princess Pearl,

then we have a "Lost Pearl Princess" at home.

What... What should we do?

I will ready some main rooms by tomorrow for Miss Xia to settle in.

Or... let's vacate the Green Bamboo Mansion for her to stay in.

That's surely unnecessary.

Mother, you haven't seen where she used to stay.

It's just a total slum but she could stay there for a good few months.

Clearly, in search of His Majesty, she has endured quite a few hardships.

What should we do now?

Do we tell His Majesty the truth?

Given what is at stake, we must not act hastily.

Like I said before, we have to protect Consort Ling.

In that case, Miss Xia's identity will never see the light.

Even if His Majesty finds out that he was deceived,

he may not vent his anger at Consort Ling.

Even so, someone else might be angered.

It's still better to be careful.

Moreover, Princess Pearl has such a pretty face.

She's always smiling so brightly.

She makes His Majesty very happy.

If she were to be beheaded,

it would be so cruel.

Yes, let us not say anything first.

Let's find a chance to invite Prince Yongqi over and get him to meet Miss Xia.

We can discuss it with him then, can't we?

Ertai, why don't you visit the palace more often the next few days

and fish for information first?

Or perhaps talk to Princess Pearl in private.

Ask her if she knows this Xia Ziwei,

and see what she responds.

It's also time for you to go and visit Consort Ling.

Yes.

With a "Lost Pearl Princess" at home,

this is our Fu family's big secret now.

Whether she's a blessing or a curse, we can't tell yet.

We'll just have to wait and see.

So, you must all keep your mouths shut.

Understand?

- Understood.
- Understood.

- Greetings, Your Highness.
- No need to bow!

Just step aside, I'm leaving the palace for a walk.

His Majesty decreed that Your Highness must stay in the palace for the time being.

Father said I'm allowed to leave after the worship ceremony.

- So, step aside, both of you!
- Our apologies, we cannot act without an imperial edict.

- You...
- Your Highness, let's just go back.

I had already told Your Highness so but you didn't believe it.

Nanny Rong had previously summoned us

and instructed us to serve Your Highness well.

We must not let you outside the palace.

Who the heck is Nanny Rong?

Nanny Rong is Her Majesty's favorite.

- Even all the princesses have to obey to her.
- What a joke!

I, Xiao Yanzi, obey to no one.

- Look closely! I am Princess Pearl.
- Respects to Your Highness.

How am I respected when you're barricading me?

I don't feel respected at all!

We are deeply sorry, but we cannot let you out.

Young Master.

Allow me!

Young Master Fu.

What beautiful playing! Such a lovely song!

I've embarrassed myself, Young Master Fu.

I saw the zither and started playing to relieve my boredom.

For you to deliver my medicine personally, I'm honored.

If so, do drink it while it's warm.

Do the injuries on your body still hurt?

- I'm much better. Thank you.
- Don't thank me!

I feel so bad for hurting you that day.

And yet, you keep thanking me.

I've spoken to Liu Qing and Liu Hong.

I've also visited the compound you stayed at.

Young Miss was telling the truth, wasn't she?

Xiao Yanzi isn't really from Jinan.

Before she knew my mistress,

the only pivotal figure she met was Lord Liang from the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.

Jinsuo.

So, what is your conclusion?

Please take your medicine first.

You've convinced me.

I believe your story.

Just like what you said, after seeing Liu Qing and Liu Hong,

the truth was revealed.

However, the current situation is complicated.

You no longer have your keepsakes but only a story.

If Xiao Yanzi asserts that she is the real princess,

you'll become nothing but an imposer.

If His Majesty doesn't believe you,

then he might behead you.

If the emperor won't believe me, why do you believe me?

My belief in you is partially due to my instincts.

You, yourself, is what's most convincing.

Are you saying that my story, evidences, and witnesses are of no use?

Indeed! Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and all the people in the compound house

could just be in collusion with you.

Seeing as how Xiao Yanzi became a princess so easily,

you all felt envious and made up a story.

Despicable! Young Master Fu, you must seek justice for our mistress.

Jinsuo, don't worry! I'm just giving an example.

But the truth is, that is highly possible.

Because His Majesty is the Emperor, after all.

Even if His Majesty is wrong, he's still in the right.

Like Ertai said, he already has a biased opinion of her.

He already believes that Xiao Yanzi is his daughter.

Now, out of the blue, Xia Ziwei appears.

His Majesty will definitely think

now that he has taken in Princess Pearl,

everyone wants to be princess.

Thus, we can't let you come out hastily.

Unless, I'm confident that I can ensure your safety,

while completely convincing His Majesty to believe in your story.

So...

I'll never win no matter what I say?

Not necessarily.

My family and I have discussed it.

We can only ask of you to keep calm for now

and bear with staying in our manor for a while.

Meanwhile, we will visit the palace to try and probe Xiao Yanzi.

Now, the key to this problem depends on Xiao Yanzi.

Whoever started the trouble must be the one to end it.

She is now a princess.

That ship has long sailed.

Would a sailed ship really return to shore?

Xiao Yanzi, how are you?

How am I?

How am...

You stole my fan,

stole my painting,

and stole my father.

You must be so proud.

No, it's not like that!

No, please listen to my explanation. It's not like that.

You are a liar.

Return my father to me! Return him!

- I'll strangle you to death.
- Ziwei, don't be like this.

Ziwei, let me explain!

We're sisters.

Help! Save me!

Help! Help me! Help

Your Highness, what happened?

Your Highness, it's okay. You were just dreaming.

Don't be afraid! Your humble servants are here at your service.

Where am I?

Your Highness, you're in the palace, of course.

Palace?

I miss the compound house so much.

Leave me be!

Your Highness, be careful! You might catch a cold.

Cold? I'm feeling so hot!

What time is it now?

Your Highness, it's just slightly past 9.30 p.m.

9.30 p.m.?

Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Dengzi!

Yes, Your Highness!

Your humble servants at your service!

From now on, don't ever call yourselves "humble servants" before me.

Yes, Your Highness. Your humble servant understands.

Your humble servant obeys.

- What's so funny?
- Your maid deserves to die.

Who deserves to die? Why do you deserve to die?

I forbid you to say "Your humble servant" or "your maid deserves to die" from now on!

You're nobody's servant. Neither are you maidservants.

Get up! Do you hear me?

- Your humble maidservant already hears you.
- Your humble servant already hears you.

Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Dengzi.

Take off the copper hook from the mosquito net.

- The copper hook from the mosquito net?
- The copper hook from the mosquito net?

Yes.

Two isn't enough. Get me more!

Get me a set of your outfit.

Get me some ropes and some iron wire, too.

Do Your Highness want them now?

Yes, now is the best time! Go, quickly!

Yes, Your Highness.

I've been eating good food every day.

I've eaten so much that I've lost touch with my levitation skills now.

The wall is so high.

Luckily, I came prepared.

Oh, no. The guards are here! I have to climb faster.

This Flying Claw Grappling Hook doesn't seem to be reliable.

- What's that sound?
- Assassin!

Hurry!

Who is there?

Don't move!

Have mercy on me, heroes!

It's a lady?

Princess Pearl?

Respects to Your Majesty. Respects to Consort Ling.

What is it that has me up so early?

Why have you become a lady assassin?

You are really restless, aren't you?

What is this outfit?

What is going on with you?

And what is this?

This is a Flying Claw Grappling Hook?

Flying Claw Grappling Hook?

You even named it?

Of course, this isn't the real deal because I made it at the last minute.

I can't believe Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Dengzi.

I told them the iron wires were too fine.

They couldn't get me thicker ones.

Because of that, I fell down.

Where did you fall from?

The wall! My whole body aches from the fall.

And I almost got killed by the guards.

You tried to climb over a wall in the middle of the night?

And you even brought tools?

What were you up to?

Father, I've told you already. I want to have a walk outside the palace.

But everyone has been watching me.

There are a bunch of guards at every door.

The palace is a fun place but I miss my friends.

I miss Ziwei, Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and even Little Bean.

I can't stand this anymore.

Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

You have been conferred a princess already!

You are no longer a roaming gangster.

Is this how your mother brought you up?

Where did you learn these sleazy tricks?

A Flying Claw Grappling Hook?

Your Majesty, don't be angry! The princess is still a child so she can't distinguish right from wrong.

Let me explain to her gradually.

I still remember your mother.

She was a gentle lady like calm waters.

Why would she teach you about the practices of the underworld?

Who taught you such amateur martial arts?

Don't you mention my mother!

When did you ever remember my mother?

Whether she was like water or fire, you've already long forgotten about her.

In your palace, you have your consorts here and there,

this and that concubine, this and that noble lady! Where does my mother fit in?

If you had kept her in your heart, would you have left her all alone

by the cold Daming Lake for so many years and made her live like a widow until her death?

Outrageous!

Kneel before your father and apologize!

Apologize? Whoever isn't happy with me can just behead me!

Since I came to the palace, my head

seemed to be wobbling on my neck like it could fall off at anytime.

Father, let me be honest with you.

I'm not a real princess so please, just let me go!

Princess, how can you utter such words?

You should know your limits when arguing with your father.

After all, you aren't a commoner anymore because your father is the emperor.

My father isn't the emperor.

I don't even know who my father is.

Xiao Yanzi, I know I've wronged your mother.

I had actually gone to Jinan a few years later to get your mother.

But coincidentally, Empress Xiaoxian passed away at the time,

so I wasn't in the best mood then.

My romantic affairs were inappropriate to carry on.

I know you've been holding a grudge.

But you've voiced it out today.

You've vented out your anger now.

You must not say sulking words like "not a real princess" again in the future.

I truly understand.

Your mother held a grudge against me

and hated me throughout her life.

To be honest with you, among all of my children,

none are as daring as you to openly go against me.

For today, out of respect for your mother, I shall let this go.

Come here!

Do you still want to bicker with your father?

Your Majesty, look at the princess! She's like a dirty cat.

She romped around all night, climbing walls and falling down, and almost got killed by the guards.

She also waited a long time for you to wake up, it's no surprise she has a bad temper.

She must be shocked and tired.

Your fiery temper

is just like mine when I was young.

- What's the matter?
- Your father only said a few critical words but he isn't really blaming you.

Why are you crying?

I never knew that having a father would be so wonderful.

Father, I'm so scared.

The way you're so kind to me makes it so hard to part with you.

Silly girl! From now on,

you are my beloved Princess Pearl.

I can't bear to part with you, either.

Next time, if you want to leave the palace, do it openly so stop climbing walls.

We, Manchurians, are uncontainable.

Women can ride horses and practice archery like men.

It's no big deal if you want to leave the palace.

Dress up like a man! Take Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi along with you.

Don't act ostentatiously and be safe.

Thank you, Father! Thank you!

- However, there is a condition.
- What condition?

Go to the study hall in a couple of days and study with your brothers.

I have already told Ji Xiaolan to teach you extra carefully.

Master Ji is very knowledgeable.

You must study hard.

You mother didn't teach you poetry and songs, so we'll have to make up for it.

If Master Ji says you have learned well, then you may leave the palace.

I even have to study?

I must study well in order to leave the palace.

He must be fooling me.

As a kid, learning the Three Character Classic practically killed me.

To study again now, I might not finish even in a couple of years.

Then, I'd have to wait forever to go out.

What should I do?

Yes, that's probably it.

Prepare some tea for us and bring it to the pavilion.

Fu Ertai and I need to talk.

Yes, Your Highness.

Are you a thief?

Why do you have you so much money and jewelry up your sleeves?

Where are you going so early in the morning?

Try to run now, thief!

Prince Yongqi, please stop!

That's Princess Pearl.

You fight quite well, Prince Yongqi.

I was shot by your arrow last time and it has been bugging me since.

I had to hide then, so I wasn't prepared at all.

That's why I wanted to fight you just now.

Yet, I almost got killed by you again.

Now, I'm convinced. I won't dare to provoke you again.

What happened? Is there an assassin?

Leave! We're fine.

Princess Pearl was just being playful with us.

Greetings, Prince Yongqi.

Greetings, Princess Pearl.

Greetings, Second Master Fu.

Leave now! We're fine here.

Yes, Your Highness.

How many more mishaps or surprises should I expect from you?

I've never met any other princess like you.

Why are you dressed like this?

What do you want to do with all that money and jewelry?

The guards said, you put up yet another "assassin" show last night.

Is that true?

Can you help me? I need a favor from you.

What is it?

Let's talk in the Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

Have a seat.

The four of you, go to sleep!

- Your humble servant dares not!
- Your humble maid dares not!

Slap your mouths!

Stop!

How many times do I have to repeat this?

"Your humble servant dares not," "Your maid dares not,"

"your humble servant deserves to die" and "your humble maid deserves to die"

are all banned in my Shu Fang Zhai Palace.

It's forbidden!

The next time any of you say that, your salary shall be deducted.

For each sentence spoken, a silver ingot will be deducted.

If you repeat it too much, you'll end up working for free. That means you'll earn nothing.

Your humble servant obeys.

Note that down. Xiao Dengzi is the first to break the rule.

Xiao Zhuozi, note it down.

Yes, your...

Yes, I got it.

All of you may go! Don't come in unless I call for you.

Yes, Your Highness.

Why can't they say "your humble servant"?

You are just used to being a master.

Do you think a "servant" was born a servant?

They were born and raised by their parents, too.

They grew up pampered by their parents, too.

It's just because they are poor, so they had no choice

but to be sent over here to serve others.

That's pitiful enough!

And now, you want them to keep saying "your humble servant" here and there.

That is bullying!

I wasn't born a princess so I don't need these rules.

Every time I hear them say, "your humble servant," I feel sad.

I don't want to live in sadness all day.

You're right.

Due to our status, we've felt superior since we were born.

Therefore, we never considered those around us.

Indeed, it's a disservice to them.

Especially, the eunuchs!

First, we hurt their bodies, then hurt their...

their... their...

Then, we hurt their dignity.

Yes, that! Their dignities!

Anyway, it makes them so confused.

They've forgotten that they're also human, just like us.

No matter how one explains it, they still don't understand.

Back to the main topic, will you help me?

Yes. Of course! We'll help.

What do you need our help with?

Take me out of the palace.

Dress me up like your underling, a servant or even a eunuch, all are fine.

So long as you take me out.

It's because Father won't let me go out.

This...

seems inappropriate.

Why do you want to go out?

If you need something, let me know. I can get it for you.

I can even settle matters for you.

If you have a letter, I can deliver it for you.

You don't understand. I must go out!

I have a sworn sister whose name is Ziwei.

I miss her! I don't know if she's fine!

I'm panicking!

I want to give her money and jewelry.

I have so much to tell her!

Ziwei? Xia Ziwei?

How did you know her surname?

[Scholar Manor]

She said she misses me and has a lot to tell me?

Yes, and in order to get out of the palace,

she climbed a wall last night

and almost died as she was mistaken for an assassin.

Even His Majesty was alerted!

Did you tell her that Miss Xia is at our house?

Of course, not! I dare not reveal such a secret without discussing it with you first.

However, from how I see and analyze it,

I still can't believe that Princess Pearl is a swindler or a schemer.

She looks so naive and innocent.

Young Masters, you may not know it, but she's an experienced liar.

At the beginning, we were also conned by her.

She has staged a lot scams all throughout Beijing.

After all, lying isn't a crime punishable by death.

Jinsuo, don't interrupt!

I'm only telling the truth.

No matter what, Xiao Yanzi is now a princess

and you're a nobody.

So, do you want to meet her?

Could I? How?

There are two ways.

Either you enter the palace, or she comes out of the palace.

Is that possible?

So long as it's well-planned, of course, it's possible.

My mother can enter the palace anytime.

We can dress you up as a maid and you can follow my mother into the palace.

After entering the palace,

we'll need Prince Yongqi to collborate with us from within.

I'm afraid we can't hide this from Prince Yongqi.

This method seems very risky.

The palace is crowded and there are too many eyes.

Princess Pearl has had too many mishaps.

Now, everyone in palace has their eyes on her.

Especially Her Majesty, who's just waiting to catch her out.

Prince Yongqi and I were at her place a while today.

We were so afraid that someone might report her

to Her Majesty for her misbehavior.

Then... We're left with only option two.

Follow her request.

Let's dress her up as an eunuch and take her out of the palace.

For this, we'll still need Prince Yongqi's help.

After bringing her out, she needs to be sent back in.

We can trust Prince Yongqi.

I'm certain he can keep this secret.

Miss Xia.

Please don't call me Miss Xia.

If you don't mind, just call me Ziwei.

Sure! Then don't call us, Young Master, either.

Call me Erkang and call him Ertai.

Okay, what were you saying before?

You must be mentally prepared.

No matter how Xiao Yanzi did it, she has already succeeded.

Moreover, she has been able to make His Majesty willingly acknowledge her

and His Majesty even adores her.

Even though she climbed a wall in the palace last night,

His Majesty didn't even dare to ask further.

From that, you can tell she's very capable.

However, if His Majesty finds out she is an imposer,

according to the royal laws, she's in for a death penalty.

Do you really want her to die?

Xiao Yanzi and I are sworn sisters.

She's my elder sister.

When we did the ceremony, I sincerely swore to heavens and earth,

that no matter what happens to us in the future,

I would never abandon her.

Now, she has taken my spot and become a princess.

Of course, I'm upset but she's still my older sister.

If proving my identity would cause her to die,

then I definitely don't want to do it.

For now, I just wish to see her mainly to clarify things

and find out what actually happened.

My mind has been riddled by this knot and it makes me so restless.

I only want an explanation from her

so that I can know the truth.

Then, I can return to Jinan and be Xia Ziwei forever.

However, you don't necessarily have to go back to Jinan.

Sometimes, life is bound by fate in a funny way.

Maybe God has other plans for you. Who knows?

Let me discuss with my father and make arrangements with Ertai.

You can trust me to arrange for you to meet up with Xiao Yanzi as soon as possible.

I thank you in advance.

You're joking, right?

Are you for real?

Prince Yongqi, you know, too?

Lower your voice!

This is such a serious matte yet, you're making so much noise.

Don't you want your life anymore?

I have already ordered my people, Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Guizi, to guard outside the courtyard,

while your Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Dengz are guarding inside.

Mingyue and Caixia are guarding outside the door.

No outsiders are here now.

Ertai and I want the truth from you.

Be honest with us!

Are you the real princess or not?

You can completely trust us.

If we were against you, we wouldn't have come to ask you.

I could just send Ziwei before His Majesty just as good.

How is Ziwei? Did she curse me? Does she hate me?

What do you think? When she saw you during the public procession that day, she called and chased after you.

Then, she got beaten by the guards.

Luckily, my brother rescued her and took her home.

Since then, she has been mentally disrupted and teary-eyed.

She must hate me to death. She must hate me!

She said she just wants to meet you to personally hear you say

how things turned out the way it did.

She also said even if you did lie to her,

you're still her sworn sister.

I didn't mean to.

It really wasn't my intention.

Is her story really true?

You're not the princess and she is?

It really wasn't my intention.

At the time,

somehow, I was shot by an arrow,

then fell sick and lost consciousness.

Royal Father saw my belongings

and unknowingly, he then firmly believed I was his princess.

After I regained consciousness,

Royal Father was so gentle to me.

He asked me a lot of questions.

I got confused.

Then, a bunch of people suddenly rushed into the room

and kneeled before me, yelling "Long live Your Highness!"

Then, I got carried away.

My God, how could you get carried away?

Deceiving His Majesty results in nine familial exterminations!

I don't have nine families.

I am alone with my one and only head.

Well, you're about to lose your head!

What do you think we should do?

Take her out of the palace and let her meet Ziwei as soon as possible.

If Ziwei is willing to give up her identity as a princess and let bygones be bygones,

maybe there's a way out of this predicament.

Would she be willing to do so?

She came all the way to Beijing just to look for her father.

How about this? We'll cover for you and sneak you out of the palace.

Once you leave, don't ever come back.

I'll arrange a few skillful masters to protect you.

You should escape overnight.

How could that be a foolproof?

Do you know how many will suffer from a missing princess?

You and I might both become suspects too!

Will Father really behead me?

Royal Father treats me so well.

How could he bear to kill me?

He's only kind to you because he believes your story,

because he thinks you're his flesh and blood.

If he finds out that you lied, he'll be beyond furious.

Do you think he would still forgive you?

Then, what are we waiting for?

I'll change my clothes and leave immediately.

Wait for me here! Please take me away.

You can't just hit the ground running.

Ertai is correct! This isn't a good solution, either.

Furthermore, nothing has been arranged yet.

Here comes Her Majesty! Here comes Her Majesty!

Here comes Her Majesty!

Respects to Your Majesty! Respects to Your Majesty!

Respects to Your Majesty!

So strange! Why aren't you all inside serving the princess?

Why is everyone standing outside?

Greetings from your son, Mother.

Greetings from Xiao Yanzi, Your Majesty.

Your servant, Ertai, bows before Your Majesty.

So, both Prince Yongqi and Ertai are here.

What secret is there between the three of you?

Why have you instructed all the servants to stay outside?

Is my arrival untimely?

Not at all, Mother.

Class finished early today.

Ertai and I just came over for a chat.

Until now, Princess is still unfamiliar with the palace rules.

She doesn't like being served by the servants.

Is that so?

I suppose I should find a solution

so you can learn the palace rules as soon as possible.

I heard you wrecked havoc in the palace again last night.

You even armed yourself and wanted to climb over the wall to go out, is that right?

Why does everyone seem to know such a small matter?

Hasn't Royal Father already lectured me?

I won't do it again next time, all right?

What's that attitude?

A princess climbing over a wall late at night

and you call that a small matter?

Then, what is considered serious to you?

Getting beheaded is a serious matter.

I hear that Your Majesty really wants to behead me.

Who said I wanted to behead you?

Who is spreading such a rumor behind my back?

Speak! Speak now!

No one told me. I just heard it myself.

Who did you hear it from? Tell me right away!

- Speak!
- I don't want to say it.

Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Kneel down before me!

Slap yourself!

Your Majesty, don't get confused!

I'm not your servant whom you can scold or beat anytime as you like.

I am a princess, conferred by His Majesty.

Before you beat a dog, you should be aware of who its master is.

How dare you threaten me in the name of His Majesty?

You're seriously a wild girl who doesn't know your place!

I am going to teach you a lesson on behalf of His Majesty today.

- Nanny Rong!
- Your maid is at your command.

- Slap her! Let's see if she'll speak then.
- Yes, Your Majesty!

Mother, you mustn't.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you slap me?

Come and catch me if you can!

Such treachery!

Get all the Imperial Guards to come over right now!

The bad seeds must be weeded out of the palace!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Respects to Prince Yongqi.

- Respects to Prince Yongqi.
- Respects to Prince Yongqi.

- Royal Father!
- Yongqi, why did you run here so hastily? What happened?

Royal Father, hurry up to the Shu Fang Zhai Palace now!

Mother wants to kill Princess Pearl.

What?

Here comes His Majesty!

Long live Your Majesty!

- Heavenly blessings to Your Majesty from your servant, Fu Erta.
- Rise.

Royal Father, I'm sorry I can't bow before you or greet you right now!

Please, save me! A bunch of people are out to kill me!

Royal Father, save me!

What is this nonsense? Come down!

I'll come down if you promise no one will cut my head off.

Cut your head off? Who wants your head?

I promise no one will hurt you!

You have to promise that I won't get punished, either!

Your Majesty, you can't keep spoiling Xiao Yanzi.

She has no manners, unruly, and has no class,

let alone her knowledge or education!

She even dared to openly contradict my teaching.

She speaks disrespectfully and even made up rumors!

I asked Nanny Rong to teach her a lesson,

yet she punched her.

Royal Father, I can't hold on any longer.

Then, come down already!

Yongqi, Ertai, go up and get her down now. Don't let her fall!

Yes!

Royal Father, I've lived as a commoner for 18 years.

Life may have been hard but no one has ever beaten me before.

Now that I'm in the palace, I got slapped for the first time in my life.

It's so tough to be a princess.

So many people in the palace refuse to accept me.

Saying things like I have a mysterious background and that I don't deserve my title.

They want me torn into pieces.

Royal Father, if you really want to protect me, just let me go back to living as a commoner.

Leave us, all of you!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Who slapped her?

Your Majesty, it was me, your humble servant!

Nanny Rong, you are the empress's senior nanny.

When the empress is headstrong and in a bad mood, you should advise her to hold back.

Why didn't you do so?

I know! You are the ones who want to see the world burn.

Your humble servant was wrong.

Your humble servant deserves to die. Your humble servant deserves to die.

Your Majesty, I was the one who ordered her to slap Princess Pearl.

Nanny Rong merely executed my order.

Is Your Majesty punishing me, too?

I didn't even let anyone touch Nanny Rong.

So, the empress has a heart after all?

You feel pain for Nanny Rong but you can't tolerate Xiao Yanzi?

Your humble servant deserves to die.

Get up, Nanny Rong!

Your humble servant deserves to die.

Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty.

If I hadn't come in time, what were you going to do to Xiao Yanzi?

Hand her over to the Imperial Clan Court for punishment.

Don't you think you've crossed the line?

She is just an innocent, hot-tempered child.

As the empress, how could take a kid so seriously?

What did she do to deserve being sent to the Imperial Clan Court?

For treachery!

Your Majesty, don't get upset!

The princess is clumsy and unruly, but she is kind.

She's very warm-hearted towards others.

Ever since she arrived, she has gotten along well with everyone.

Other princes and princesses are all fond of her.

Her dissension with you today may just be a misunderstanding.

A person of great moral stature like you wouldn't hold such petty matters against her. Please don't mind her.

Let her apologize to you.

Yes, indeed! Xiao Yanzi, kowtow before the empress.

I'll do it! It's not like it'll hurt me.

Your Majesty, there are things that I must say, sincere advice can be a hard pill to swallow.

Even if I upset Your Majesty, I still have to say it.

Since Princess Pearl has been bestowed the title of a princess,

her behavior and words represent the royal family.

If she acts absurdly,

it will taint Your Majesty's dignity.

Now, she has stirred up a lot of trouble and made a joke of herself already.

Her boldness and recklessness will cause people in the palace to talk.

Rumors of her behavior have been spreading all around.

If we don't keep her on a tight rein,

she will become a serious problem in the palace and a laughing stock to the commoners.

If she so dares to behave as she did with me today,

she deserves to be punished even if she isn't sent to the Imperial Clan Court.

Let it be a warning to the concubines and other princesses.
