[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 37]
You must be of an uncommon identity.
I can do it on my own.
Don't be so polite.
I was actually a young mistress of an aristocratic family as well.
Why would you now...
I'm from Liang Region.
After Liang was vanquished, I was forced into service in the palace.
They were all gloating over it.
They always bully me.
If they learn of your identity
I'm afraid that they will make trouble for you too.
You're actually from Liang?
We shouldn't have ended up like this.
Liang was a small nation to begin with, but at least our people had their homes.
But King of Liang rebelled for his own interests without a care for the people.
That was what brought disaster upon our people.
That isn't true.
What do you know?
You're from Wei.
Father, you willingly surrendered to Wei for the sake of your people
but now, they have misunderstood you.
Goodness. You'll have to wash them again.
I don't think that you'll get any dinner tonight.
You did it on purpose!
So I did!
I just can't stand that young mistresses like you don't know how to do any chores.
You...
You're trying to stand up for her?
I think that you're asking for a beating.
What do you think you are?
Are you proud to be bullying the weak?
How does it feel to be bullied?
I dare you to keep bullying others!
[Hanzhong Bureau]
Since Your Highness is concerned about Miss Wei Young
why don't you go in and have a look?
Although I believe her, my mother's murderer is still at large.
How could I face her?
Since you don't think that you should show up here
I'll speak to the maid in charge.
I'll ask her to take care of Miss Wei Young.
Li Wei Young! What are you doing?
Stop it!
She hit me first!
You did it first!
I have eyes, so I can see for myself.
You just came here yesterday and you're already stirring up trouble.
It seems that I'll have to discipline you properly.
Anyone? Slap her 20 times.
Stop!
Greetings to Your Highnesses.
Why would you come to such a place?
What are your orders?
I'm here to visit a friend.
A friend?
Your Highness's friend must be of nobility.
Why would you be here?
Since you do know that Wei Young is of nobility
how would you still dare to hit her?
I really didn't know about it...
You should know what to do now.
Yes, I do.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Let's go.
Jun!
You seem to have forgotten about an important matter.
I didn't.
How could I forget the hatred for my mother's killer?
All right now. Get back to work.
Your Highness, I'll take my leave now.
Thank you, Your Highness.
You didn't have to do that.
I've already prepared myself to be a palace maid.
We went through so much together.
You also gave me this safety amulet.
I would say that we're already friends.
How could I allow my friend to suffer?
You still carry that with you?
It's because of this amulet that I came home safely in victory.
This amulet works wonders.
I would never throw it away.
It's good as long as you like it.
It's just that
Your Highness has given me so much assistance
but it seems unlikely that I will be able to repay your kindness.
Don't think too much about it.
You're only in this predicament temporarily.
The Li Wei Young I know wouldn't give up so easily.
You're right.
There's always hope.
I can't give up so easily.
I wonder if you know about something.
Jun...
Jun is going to marry Li Chang Le soon.
Your Highness.
Prince of Nan-An is so cruel!
He's kept you waiting all day and night!
I'll marry Li Chang Le soon.
Your Highness?
That's my mother's last wish.
I'll seek audience with Grandfather tomorrow.
[Jinggong Gate]
Hasn't Li Wei Young been released?
Why have you come to see me?
Grandfather, please allow me to marry
Prime Minister's daughter Miss Li Chang Le.
What is the matter with you?
Are you muddle-headed?
I'm fully aware of my actions.
It was my mother's last wish to have me marry Li Chang Le.
I have to fulfill it.
Do you know what consequences
you have to bear for marrying Li Chang Le?
I have to fulfill my mother's last wish.
You're incorrigible!
Chun Ming.
- Miss Chang Le. - You are all dismissed.
Mother..
Finally, my dream has come true.
I'll soon marry Prince of Gaoyang.
From now on, I will be his only family.
I will be his wife.
Li Wei Young was made a servant.
She is tormented in the palace.
Mother, you've finally gotten back at her.
Mother?
You're awake?
You've really regained consciousness?
His Highness has finally accepted me.
He told His Majesty that he wishes to marry me.
I'm so happy.
Mother.
You must get well soon.
Then you can attend my wedding.
Young Mistress.
It's getting late. You should get some sleep.
Li Wei Young was spared.
I went to all that effort, but still it was all in vain.
However, Li Wei Young is now a palace servant.
It will be even easier for us to deal with her in the future.
Is that so?
It will be even easier for His Highness to see her
now that she's in the palace.
Rong Er, do you know how it feels to watch
as another woman slowly steals the heart of someone you love?
I do.
It feels so much worse than any torture.
[Hanzhong Bureau]
How could I forget the hatred for my mother's killer?
Why did you come here?
Were you here to tell me that you still hate me?
Were you going to tell me that you're marrying Li Chang Le?
Wei Young.
I will do my very best to make you happy.
I will cherish you more than my own life.
Have you forgotten all about our vows?
My father above in heaven.
I bring forth my beloved one today.
No matter what dangers lie ahead of us
we will stay together in life and death. Never shall we part.
Women never say what they really mean.
From now on, I won't believe a word you say.
I...
You.
You! Me!
Us!
I intend to make two requests of Grandfather.
First of all, I'll ask Grandfather to bestow marriage to us.
Wei Young...
You must stay well.
Stay well...
[Hanzhong Bureau]
You! What are you doing?
Please forgive me, Madam.
You don't have to do such chores.
You should get some rest.
- It's fine. - Don't!
I'll get someone else to do your chores.
You don't have to do this, Madam.
I was sent here to work.
If you can't treat everyone equally, how could you discipline everyone?
What was she?
She even has the prince as her friend.
I forgot. What would a servant of a fallen nation know?
You...
Master.
Get back to your chores.
- Yes! - Li Wei Young.
Princess Consort of Gaoyang made a request to His Majesty
to have you attend her wedding as her younger sister.
You are to help her change into this wedding gown.
His Majesty has given his consent.
You're ordered to assist Princess Consort of Gaoyang at her wedding.
Get changed and come with me.
[Prime Minister's Manor]
As a maid, you're not supposed to come through the main door.
However, our Eldest Young Mistress said
that a princess consort's wedding gown must come through the main door.
What are you still waiting for?
You know the manor so well.
Do you still need me to show you the way?
Young Mistress, your wedding gown is here.
Come here.
Help me get dressed.
I want you to do it.
I've already asked His Majesty to have you at my disposal today.
Li Wei Young, are you going to defy the imperial decree?
I wouldn't dare do so.
I'll help Eldest Young Mistress get dressed.
I am now Princess Consort of Gaoyang.
Yes.
I will help Your Highness get dressed.
Am I beautiful?
Prince of Gaoyang...
No.
I should now address him as my husband.
My husband asked His Majesty for permission to marry me.
Are you very surprised about it?
The gods are fair.
What is mine will always be mine.
Whoever tries to steal from me...
None shall end well.
Li Wei Young.
Tell me.
Who am I now?
Princess Consort of Gaoyang.
What?
Speak louder.
I can't hear you clearly.
Princess Consort of Gaoyang.
Louder!
Princess Consort of Gaoyang.
[Crown Prince's Manor]
Your Highness.
it's time to get changed into your wedding robe.
Today...
I have to betray my beloved to marry another woman.
In this lifetime, Wei Young and I might go our separate ways.
I'm no longer fit to care about her happiness...
Her anger...
Her sorrow...
Her joy...
Cheng De, answer me.
What have I got to be happy about?
Your Highness...
I won't be able to serve by your side anymore.
Father, Mother, and Grandmother
I hope that you will take good care of your health.
Chang Le, you must serve Prince of Gaoyang well.
You must always be attentive.
Do you understand?
I do.
Chang Le.
Once you're married into the imperial family
you must watch your every move.
Serve your husband as you served your father.
Keep that in mind.
Mother.
Chang Le. I won't be able to stay with you at all times.
You must take good care of yourself.
That is my gift for you.
I wish you and Prince of Gaoyang a harmonious marriage.
Thank you, Mother.
You must take care of yourself.
Wei Young...
Unfilial daughter Wei Young greets Father and Grandmother.
How is that so?
Aren't you the princess of Northern Liang?
Why do you still call yourself Wei Young?
Don't address me as your father.
You're not my daughter.
Grandmother...
This is a joyous occasion!
We will just celebrate for Chang Le.
Let's not think about other matters.
Master, the wedding parade is here.
Chang Le.
Go on.
Wei Young.
Are you all right?
I understand your sorrow.
I'm useless.
I couldn't help you at all.
I'm all right.
Don't worry.
The bride enters the sedan! All is safe and well!
Wei Young.
I want you to help me get on the sedan.
I'm an inauspicious person.
Won't that bring Your Highness ill fortune?
What are you talking about?
After all, we were once sisters.
It's more meaningful to have you assist me in getting on the sedan.
Wedding ritual begins!
First bow!
Second bow!
Third bow!
The ceremony is completed!
Congratulations, Your Highness.
Li Wei Young.
Let's head back.
Wei Young!
Your Highness.
Central Attendant, I still need to speak with her.
As you wish, Your Highness.
This was Crown Princess Consort's last wish.
Don't blame Jun.
I don't blame him.
Him and I... We weren't meant to be.
[Prime Minister's Manor]
How is my wife doing?
Chang Le!
Madam?
Rou?
Chang Le!
- Madam... - Rou...
Madam!
Madam, wake up! Madam!
- Madam... - Madam has passed away.
- Madam... - Rou...
- Rou! - Madam...
Madam! Look at me, Madam.
Madam...
Your Highness, it's time to unveil the bride.
Your Highnesses, please have some nuptial wine.
You are all dismissed now.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Do you know how long I've waited for this day?
Your Highness?
I'm sorry, Chang Le.
I'm going to sleep in the study.
Your Highness!
Although it was my mother's last wish to have me marry you
she only just passed away and I'm still in deep mourning.
Please understand.
Get some rest soon.
Your Highness!
We have yet to consummate our marriage!
Crown Princess Consort...
She even stands in my way when she's already dead.
What is the matter with her?
She keeps washing all the clothes.
She's doing all of our chores.
Whatever. I'm going to bed.
Mother, I've married Li Chang Le in order to save Wei Young.
Would you blame me for doing so?
I simply can't believe that Wei Young would harm you.
It must be some sort of a conspiracy.
Husband.
Did you sleep well last night?
It was all right.
How about you?
Have you adapted well?
This will be my home from now on.
What is there to adapt to?
This is the first day after I married into the manor.
I'll offer incense to my parents-in-law.
Forgive me!
Pick them up quickly!
These were Her Highness's dowry.
Yes.
