[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 8]
Min De, look at you.
You're making Madam Zhou worry about you again.
You talk too much.
Mother, don't be worried.
I will perform well.
I'll never let you down.
I know.
I have to see to Old Madam.
Take your time to chat with Wei Young.
Okay.
Wei Young, have a good chat.
Mother, take care.
Imperial Guard...
It isn't some post that anyone could have and you still look down on it?
What now? You really hope to have me become part of the Imperial Guard?
Of course.
Imperial Guards are promoted very quickly.
I definitely would like you to do what will benefit you.
All right.
If so, I'll do the job well.
But... But I'm not doing it because of you.
I... I'm doing it because I'm worried about my mother.
Moreover, you also said that an Imperial Guard has a promising future.
You're right to think so.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch my head.
My sister, you're actually in the mood to stroll in the gardens today?
The little flowers are in full bloom so I came for a stroll.
Only the wild flowers are blooming now.
They aren't presentable at all.
But you've been raised in the mountains and wilderness.
You must find wild flowers more familiar?
These might just be some small wild flowers
but they are the earliest to bloom
and the last to wither.
Even if they bloom till the very end
it's a fruitless endeavor if no one admires them.
Do you know Prince of Gaoyang well?
I've only met him a few times.
Prince of Gaoyang is extremely handsome.
He is capable and virtuous.
Many young women of wealthy families are very fond of him.
I believe that you must be as well.
However, you should come to terms with your identity.
Don't get the Li family in trouble.
Trouble?
Are you giving me this reminder for the sake of the Li family
or yourself?
It seems that you haven't come to terms with who you are.
A lowly person like you shouldn't dream of playing up to people of power.
It's fine if you make a bad name for yourself
but can you bear the consequences for implicating the Li family?
What is it with my identity?
As you were saying such words have you forgotten
that we have the same father?
If I am of a lowly status how much better can you be?
Li Wei Young... How dare you speak to me, Li Chang Le, like that?
- You... - My sister!
Instead of getting angry at this sort of person
you might as well admire the beauty of early spring.
Even these small nameless flowers...
They are also very exquisite.
You're right, Min Feng.
It's not worth being angry at some people.
Min Feng, let's go.
Young Master! Young Master!
Reporting to Young Master Min Feng.
The scout has sent over the portrait of Northern Liang's princess.
- I want to take a look as well. - Be careful with it.
I've heard that she has delicate features and a magnificent bearing.
I'd like to compare myself to her.
Li Wei Young, what are you doing?
I also want to see what the princess of Northern Liang looks like.
- You... - That's enough.
This is a very important portrait.
You're acting like children trying to compare yourselves to her.
Moreover, no matter how beautiful that princess might be
she is nothing compared to Chang Le.
Let's go, Chang Le.
Li Wei Young and Prince of Gaoyang are more than just acquaintances.
Prince of Gaoyang is mine.
I won't allow anyone to get close to him.
Min Feng, you must help me!
All right. It's easy to tackle a young girl.
Just wait and see.
I'll get back at her for you.
You can help me out with something now.
What is it?
Anyone there?
Present!
- Take this into my room. - Yes!
Xiu Er, what are you embroidering?
Let me take a look.
Xiu Er, you want to get married?
Zi Yan, you don't want to get married?
You're the one thinking about it, but you're teasing me?
Tell me quickly. Who is your sweetheart?
It's a distant cousin of mine.
Old Madam found out about it. Once my cousin offers an engagement gift
she will give me a sum of money to start my own family.
Old Madam is so nice.
If you also wish to find a spouse just tell Second Young Mistress.
I'm sure that she will find you a good husband.
Shush!
- Young Master. - Young Master.
Xiu Er, Old Madam is asking for you.
I'll head over there right away.
I accidentally lost a fan somewhere in this area yesterday.
I was just about to ask Wei Young to send a maid to look for it.
Miss Zi Yan, would you be free to do so?
I...
I can look for it for Young Master.
Where did Young Master drop your fan?
In those bushes by the door.
Young Master...
There's nothing here.
You can't find a fan on your own.
I'll search for it with you.
Young Master, what are you doing?
Someone will see us!
See us?
So what if anyone sees us?
So what if I ask Wei Young about making you mine?
Young Master...
You don't want to?
Forget about it then.
No...
But...
My young mistress...
I fell for you the first time I saw you.
How I wish I could see you every day and night.
Do you wish to stay with Wei Young
as a lowly maid who can never attain much
or become a rightful mistress by my side?
Second Young Mistress treats me very well.
I can't betray her.
You're so protective of your mistress.
Do you also matter this much to her?
If you become mine, I promise that I'll always be good to you.
Come to my room at midnight.
I'll wait for you.
Young Master...
Is it done?
It took me no effort at all to get my hands on that young girl.
Once Zi Yan works for us
we can get hold of Li Wei Young's each and every move.
Young Master, the portrait of Princess of Northern Liang is on your desk.
All right.
- What happened? - I don't know either.
It was still good when I brought it in here.
But in just a blink of the eye...
I have to kill Li Min Feng, even if it means risking my life.
Is anyone there? Catch the assassin!
Catch the assassin!
Arrest the assassin alive!
Whoever catches the intruder will be heavily rewarded!
Over there!
Jun Tao, it's me.
- Princess. - Go!
Get in here.
Where are you hurt?
Princess... It really is you.
You're still alive.
You're still alive as well, Jun Tao.
What are you doing here?
It's a long story.
Where is Uncle Ming?
My father...
I'm afraid that he might not have made it.
I never thought that I'd ever see you again, Your Highness.
I'm no longer the princess of Liang.
I'm now Prime Minister Li's illegitimate daughter, Li Wei Young.
Whatever identity you take on
I only know that you're the princess I will risk my life protecting.
By the way, Your Highness, how did you recognize me?
Did you forget that I made the sword tassel for you?
How could I not recognize it?
Li Min Feng was one of those who butchered everyone in the palace.
His hands are stained with the blood of our people in Northern Liang.
I know.
I won't let him off the hook.
Grandmother wanted me to stay alive and well.
She was afraid that I would be ruined by hatred.
Little did she know that as I see our enemies wander around before my eyes
and listen to how they brag about the massacre as some achievement...
That feels...
It is worse than death.
Hurry up! They seem to have gone that way!
Check over there!
Jun Tao, don't act irrationally.
That is as good as seeking death.
I can't drag you down with me.
I have a plan.
Search!
What is all the commotion?
- Take a look. - Allow no one in.
What happened?
Young Master, it's very late now. Why are you here?
Did you see anyone suspicious?
I didn't see anyone.
Young Master, you'll wake my mistress up by making such a huge commotion.
Wench!
Search! Kill whoever dares to hinder the search!
Young Mistress!
Young Master brought a lot of his men here!
Search inside!
Hold it. I'm already dressed for bed.
Didn't you hear me?
This is Second Young Mistress...
Useless scum!
Get lost!
Min Feng, what are you doing?
You don't even care about your sister's reputation?
What are you doing?
- Let's go! - Young Mistress.
Young Mistress, I'll go and shut the door.
Young Master.
I'll see Young Master off.
- Come with me. - Yes!
Young Mistress, they are here again.
What are you doing?
- Search carefully! - Yes!
Search every corner!
Search over there!
Hold me hostage.
- Young Mistress! - Step back!
- I'll kill her! - Ignore her!
- Just take down the assassin! - Li Min Feng!
Even if you don't care about our kinship
I'm still the second daughter of Prime Minister Li.
If you put my life at risk
how will Father and the entire family appear to the public once this gets out?
- Attack! - Father, help!
Young Master!
Let them go.
Go!
Don't come any closer!
Step back or I'll kill her!
Young Mistress!
- Arrest the maids. - Yes!
The assassin got into your room because the maids weren't watchful.
Cane them 20 times each!
Young Master, please don't!
Hit them!
Stop it! Don't! Stop it!
Not even the guards could stop the assassin from barging into the manor
how could two maids stop him from coming into Junlan Quarters?
Hit them!
Young Mistress!
- Stop it! - Stop it!
If you refuse to stop, I'll go to Father.
Young Mistress.
Young Mistress...
Let's go!
Young Mistress...
Young Mistress, we're just servants.
It's not worth doing this for us.
I've always regarded you as my sisters.
You have never been servants to me.
Young Mistress, you're too kind.
I got you into this mess.
[Junlan Quarters]
Here, drink this.
Since you came home it has been nothing but torment.
You're either punished or beaten up.
Mother, I'm all right.
Are you feeling better?
It's so cold today but you came all the way here.
How could I not be anxious when you're injured?
Mother...
It's all because I'm too useless.
What's the matter?
You're still mad at me?
Zi Yan is but a servant.
How could I dare be mad at you?
I know that I was wrong.
I've done wrong. I was a bit too heavy-handed that day.
Young Master has every right to punish me.
I wouldn't dare complain about it.
You wouldn't?
But you bear a deep grudge.
A very deep grudge.
You saw how it was that day.
If I didn't punish you as well
Li Wei Young would have noticed.
Our efforts wold have all gone to waste, right?
I actually really couldn't bear to do that.
Those strokes hit you...
but I felt the pain.
As if!
I really mean it.
So? Do you feel better now?
You had me beaten nearly to death.
I really have done wrong.
It's my fault.
I'll treat you well from now on.
It's been days.
Do you know how much I've missed you?
Liar.
Take it. I told Chang Le to buy this for me.
I've heard that only noble women in Ping City get to use this blush.
Do you like it?
No, I don't.
You don't?
- I'll give you a hug. - No!
You don't want that either?
- Give me a hug. - No.
Just a hug. Come here.
Give me a hug.
You're not angry anymore?
It's all because I'm too useless.
Cui Er.
Have you ever heard that new birth marks could appear later in life?
I haven't heard of that.
Why would you suddenly ask me about that?
It's fine.
Chang Xi.
You haven't been here to chat with me for some time.
I noticed that you've been busy so I didn't want to disturb you.
The wound on your face is much better now.
Congratulations.
It's all because of the beautifying cream you sent me.
The beautifying cream really is a rare and wonderful remedy.
Let's not talk about past events.
I'm here to tell you about something.
What is it?
I believe you know that Min Feng is quite close to Prince of Nan-An.
Min Feng said that Prince of Nan-An has yet to marry a princess consort.
He doesn't even have a side consort.
He doesn't get looked after well enough.
Min Feng hopes that one of his sisters will win the favor of the prince
and become the side consort to look after His Highness.
Chang Xi.
If you get the chance...
you must try to get close to Prince of Nan-An.
Thank you, Aunt Rou.
[Ruyi Residence] - Chang Ru!
What does Aunt Rou mean by that?
Is she going to bestow me to Prince of Nan-An?
Although Prince of Nan-An is of a low birth
his foster mother is of gentry.
Consort Zhaoyi Lu.
Even if he can't succeed the throne
he should still be a well-respected arch prince.
It's too soon to tell.
Don't get excited so soon.
If Aunt Rou said so, she must have already decided.
Honestly, she has always been kind to me.
Perhaps Li Wei Young framed her for the beautifying cream.
Chang Xi.
Prince of Nan-An might be born low, but he's still of imperial lineage.
Not just anyone can be his side consort.
Chang Ru, what do you mean by that?
Are you jealous of me?
Listen, Aunt Rou must have had her reasons for saying that.
I know.
Prince of Nan-An could have already fallen for me.
No wonder... I find Prince of Nan-An looking at me differently every time.
How could Prince of Nan-An possibly be interested in Chang Xi?
Mother, your efforts are in vain.
Chang Xi's face is recovering.
Do you know what that means?
Mother, it means...
They noticed the problem with the beautifying cream.
If I'm right that has to do with Li Wei Young.
I understand now.
Mother noticed that Second Aunt is already leaning toward Li Wei Young
so you're dishing out some benefits?
Is that necessary?
What good are they to us?
It's best to tread carefully.
Whether Prince of Nan-An falls for her or not
it won't affect us in any way.
Just let them gloat over it.
Seventh Concubine.
Mother.
Mother, what is it?
Didn't you already recover?
Why are you suddenly coughing so badly?
It's been a bit windy these days and she caught a cold.
We informed Madam Li but she still hasn't sent a doctor over.
Madam Li must have done it on purpose.
Bai Zhi, go and get a doctor.
Yes.
I can't have Wei Young's mother suffer any longer.
Wei Young...
You mustn't argue with Madam Li for my sake.
Once the weather is nicer Mother will also get better.
It will soon get a lot warmer.
This room faces west and is hot on summer afternoons.
It's not ideal for convalesce.
Mother, since I'm already home, I won't let you suffer anymore.
All I care about is you.
As long as you're fine I don't matter at all.
She...
- She... - Mother, don't worry about me.
You should nurse yourself back to health.
I'll get going now.
Get some rest.
Wei Young, I'll surely take good care of your mother.
I won't let you down.
- Long live the emperor! - Long live the emperor!
All rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
This flood has made 100,000 people of Great Wei victims
caused numerous casualties, and created a land of starving refugees.
My dear subjects, what disaster relief plans do you have?
This flood is very widespread.
It will be hard to tackle in a short period of time.
Any disaster relief plan?
Prince of Dongping.
Tell me.
Father, this is a very rare flood.
The flood hit us at full force, causing great damage in a short time.
Almost every region in Great Wei suffered from it.
I think that granaries should be opened to the public.
What better solution do you have?
The only solution is to open the granaries.
Open the granaries?
Is there no other effective solution other than opening the granaries?
- We have all sinned. - We have all sinned.
What use is it to have all of you in the imperial court?
Convey my orders.
Whoever can come up with a disaster relief plan
shall be rewarded handsomely.
Prince of Nan-An.
Are you worried about the flood?
It isn't about that.
Since Crown Prince passed away
Prince of Dongping held great power due to his commendable services in war.
He is almost second in command now.
I'll leave political matters to Prince of Dongping .
As for me, I could just be an idle nobleman.
Why would you keep that from me, Your Highness?
The scale of damage caused by this flood is beyond estimation.
Your Highness cares greatly for the people so you must be upset.
Indeed.
Our people are wandering around, homeless and starving
but all the imperial court could do is open the granaries.
That only scratches the surface.
Father is too compassionate to watch his people suffer
so he made a special decree.
Whoever can propose a good disaster relief plan shall be handsomely rewarded.
Your Highness, this is my sister, Chang Le.
Greetings to Prince of Nan-An.
These are my two other sisters.
Chang Xi and Chang Ru.
Your Highness should have met them before?
- Greetings to Prince of Nan-An. - Greetings to Prince of Nan-An.
Don't worry, Young Mistress.
We should get there soon.
Jun Tao was wounded.
Li Min Feng went all out to track her down.
I wonder how she is now?
It's so worrying.
I must find her as soon as possible.
Young Mistress, you begged Old Madam to let you out
to pray for Seventh Concubine's health.
Why would you come to such a faraway abbey?
There's been serious flooding.
There are many wandering refugees around. Who knows if it's safe?
Look at you.
You're still a young girl. Why do you nag so much?
I'm just concerned about you.
How is that nagging?
Bai Zi, you're not nagging.
You just talk too much.
You...
You're ganging up on me.
We're almost there. Sit tight.
[Qingfeng Abbey]
Bai Zhi and Zi Yan, come here.
Get me changed.
Why are you wearing this outfit?
I have some matters to attend to.
Where are you going? We'll come with you.
No, you can't come with me.
You have to stay here to cover for me.
No one must know that I've been away.
How could we not be worried that you're heading out alone?
Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
- But Young Mistress... - No buts!
- Go on now. - Yes.
[Noodles]
Jun Tao said that she was hiding out here.
Why didn't she leave me a clue?
Keep up! Hurry!
My brothers, relief supplies of rice will arrive today.
If anyone from Li Village dares to take it from us again
- we will fight them to the death. - Fight! Fight! Fight!
Keep up! We must teach them a lesson!
- Hurry up! - Go!
- Keep up! - Let's go!
Let's go!
What exactly happened?
All right, all right! Don't grab!
- Don't fight over it! - Everyone will get some!
- Those people from Li Village are here. - Get them!
Let's get them!
Stop fighting! Stop it!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting! Stop fighting!
You again?
You...
- Are you all right? Your hand... - I'm fine.
Cheng De, take her somewhere safe.
Yes! Miss Wei Young, come with me.
Stop fighting!
Arrest all of them!
Stop it!
Don't move!
- Don't move! - Stop fighting!
- Don't move! - Arrest them all!
Throw them in jail!
Hold it!
As a local official
how can you just arrest them without a valid reason?
Who are you?
How dare you question my actions?
Guards! Arrest this impudent man and cane him 50 times!
You must be sick of living.
His Majesty has given orders to open the granaries.
There are enough relief supplies.
How could it not be enough? Why are the refugees fighting over it?
I had it all investigated carefully.
You took the supplies for yourself!
This heartless official actually robbed us of our food!
- Get him! - Beat him to death!
Stop it! Stay calm!
Will violence resolve the issues at hand?
Although this man deserves to die, someone will take care of that.
- We don't believe that! - We don't believe that!
Shut up!
Attacking him goes against the government's law and order.
Don't resort to violence! Don't resort to violence!
Forgive me for being late in welcoming your arrival, Prince of Gaoyang.
Prince of Gaoyang?
Greetings to Prince of Gaoyang!
Rise.
Fear not.
Natural disasters might be ruthless but the government isn't.
Please don't be worried.
We will not let you starve.
This is great!
You are the people of Great Wei!
The government will not abandon its own people!
- Long live Prince of Gaoyang! - Long live Prince of Gaoyang!
What are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for the congee?
Cheng De, let's go.
Miss Wei Young, this way, please.
Why hasn't Young Mistress returned yet?
Could she be in danger?
We never should have let her go out alone.
What should we do?
Ba Zhi!
Stop pacing.
It's making me dizzy.
Come here.
Have some water and relax.
What is Young Mistress off doing?
Why has she been acting so strangely recently?
First, she brought us to such a faraway abbey
and then she went out alone.
Could she be out meeting her sweetheart?
Nonsense!
Young Mistress is the daughter of the prime minister.
How can you say that?
[Qingfeng Abbey]
Li Wei Young, let's see what you're really up to.
Thank you for saving me.
You do make others worry all the time.
What is a lady doing in such a place?
It's none of Your Highness's concern.
I'll take my leave now.
My arm hurts so much.
Can you see if it's broken?
That's impossible!
It's so painful!
Are you badly injured?
How can I not be when the stick even smashed into three pieces?
- Do you have medication? - No.
Yes, Your Highness. I have some here.
Apply it quickly.
Sure! Your Highness...
Do you think that you know how to apply it?
I... I...
I don't know how... to do it.
Here, why don't you do it? I can't.
I suddenly sprained my foot.
He sprained his foot so he can't do it.
Where are you hurt?
This whole area here hurts.
How did you block it?
I did it like this.
I...
Apply it yourself, liar!
Wei Young, I was just joking with you.
Why would you take it seriously?
Why have you changed so much since we last met?
Your Highness thinks that you know me so well?
Do you know what I'm like?
Liar.
How are you, big liar?
Keep an eye on her.
Be sure that she gets home safely.
I got it.
Liar?
She called you a liar.
This is Second Young Mistress's room.
I'll take my leave now.
Tan Xiang, invite Miss Wei Young out.
Yes.
Miss Wei Young, Miss Chang Le is here.
What should we do?
It's Miss Chang Le.
What is Miss Chang Le doing here?
