[The Female Assassins in the Palace]
[Episode 15]
I think that she must be upset.
Moreover, regardless of the situation, we're still sworn sisters.
I've never cared about our differences in status or rank.
Your Highness is still the broadminded and sentimental one.
I'm just worried about Guo Xin and Caidie.
They are already on such bad terms.
What should I do?
Do I really have to choose a side?
Then...
Are we still going to Vice Prince Duoluo Huiwu Manor?
Yes.
We'll still go over there.
- Let's go. - Yes.
- Congratulations, Your Highness! - Congratulations, Your Highness!
Thank you.
Vice Prince He Qin arrives!
Vice Prince Duoluo Huiwu congratulations on your new son-in-law.
I've prepared some small gifts. Please accept them.
Bring them over.
You're too kind.
Good...
- Caidie, take a look. - Mother, it's so pretty.
Yes, it's really pretty.
Vice Prince He Qin, thank you for making such an effort.
You're too polite, Your Highness.
Vice Prince Bao Hong arrives!
- Gentlemen. - Vice Prince He Qin.
Congratulations, Vice Prince Duoluo Huiwu. Your virtue is renown.
It brings great blessings and joyous events to your family.
Congratulations to Princess Caidie for a good marriage.
Our Caidie is very playful.
I'm worried that she will still be just as disobedient
when she's married into another family.
Father...
Don't expose my faults in front of everyone.
Then you should be more obedient.
Don't make me worried.
I understand.
Your Highness is overly worried.
Caidie is candid, pretty, and adorable.
The Shalu family will surely treat her as one of their own.
- They will dote on her a lot. - Good...
Your Highness, I've also prepared a small token of my well wishes.
I hope you will accept it.
- This way, Your Highness. - Sure.
After you.
That looks majestic!
That is so unique.
Look at this. The color is so pretty.
"Frail bamboo growing alone"
"tying its roots into the slopes of Mt. Tai."
"I am newly wed to you, sir; a vine clinging to moss."
Caidie and Batu are soon to be married.
I wish the both of you a blessed and unyielding love in marriage.
Wonderful!
You're so thoughtful!
Vice Prince Bao Hong's gift
is truly a gift of great sentiment.
Good!
- Caidie. - Yes?
You're getting married so I wish you a blessed and unyielding love.
I'll give this gift to you!
Thank you, Father.
Your Highness, may I be so bold
as to say that I've already prepared another one?
Look.
It's an identical one.
It's identical.
You really are very thoughtful!
- Good. - Vice Prince Bao Hong has great taste.
The color of this coral is vibrant.
This translucent jadeite is clear and flawless.
You really are a true expert.
Vice Prince Bao Hong's gift is so well chosen.
It's great in quality as well as quantity.
All our gifts are inferior now.
Exactly!
Vice Prince Bao Hong's gifts
have made ours all pale in comparison.
What is Hong Hao doing showing off like this?
He's obviously trying to make us look bad.
Watch what you say.
Hong Hao has no such intentions.
No?
Hong Hao stole the show.
He has no regard for you at all.
Don't forget what Mother reminded you.
She'd like you to have some achievement.
Others shouldn't only remember Vice Prince Bao Hong
and not Vice Prince He Qin.
Man Er, you're overthinking.
He doesn't mean to do that.
Look at how the others are all talking about Vice Prince Bao Hong.
How many of them came over to talk to you?
This is so annoying.
Man Er, why are you talking about all this for no reason?
I...
Forget it. I don't care.
You can stay incompetent for life.
Your Highness, I'm privileged to bring over Grand Imperial Noble Consort's
Ru porcelain of Song Dynasty as her gift to you.
I never thought that in my life
I'll be able to see such precious porcelain.
- Jia Er, bring it here. - Yes!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Fortunately, Her Highness's gift was not dropped.
Exactly. Luckily Her Highness's gift wasn't broken.
I heard that this porcelain is a very rare antique.
It was Her Highness's dowry then.
How could they let a servant hold such a precious gift?
They are really relaxed.
It's all right. Everything is fine.
Vice Prince Zhang.
Vice Prince Zhang arrives!
- Your Highness! - It's been a while!
Congratulations!
Please come in.
Your Highness, is that Vice Prince Duoluo Zhang?
Yes.
Why do I think that His Highness seems to be drunk?
Why isn't he here with his consort?
He's brought Qin Er here instead.
Qin Er is just a maidservant. Isn't that a bit impolite?
Hong Jun's princess consort has been confined to a sick bed for years.
It's not easy for her to get around.
Qin Er is now his concubine.
Does that make it appropriate?
I see.
Qin Er has finally been made a concubine...
When Father bestowed Qin Er to Hong Jun
Hong Jun wanted to make her his concubine.
However, Qin Er was born to a lowly status.
That is why it took so long.
There are so many people and presents.
Mother, it's beautiful.
This...
That was Grand Imperial Noble Consort's beloved porcelain.
It's broken now.
I'm afraid that you can't find a second one anywhere in the world.
Should Her Highness blame anyone
what will you do?
Don't worry.
I can pretend that I didn't see it.
Only a few of us know about this.
But even if none of us say anything
I'm afraid that this matter will still be made known.
Should Her Highness learn of this matter
she will surely throw a tantrum.
I wonder if Her Highness's health will be affected?
Don't worry about it, Sister-in-law.
Since it is my wife who broke the vase
we'll seek an audience with her Highness tomorrow morning to apologize.
No, this is my fault.
Princess Consort had already handed the gift to me.
I was the one who broke it.
I'll apologize to Her Highness tomorrow.
That's easier said than done.
If Her Highness gets angry
and feels unwell
could you take such responsibility?
Since this was a gift for me
this vase is now mine.
I accidentally broke my own vase.
Why would Her Highness get so worked up over that if I apologize to her?
Well said! Well said!
Princess Caidie, you're seemingly more or less of a heroine.
Congratulations!
Gentlemen!
Hong Jun pays respects to all.
Princess Caidie, keep it up.
Don't change your unyielding character to fight for fame and riches.
Don't resort to kissing up to others and stoop to flattery.
Tomorrow is your wedding day.
I have two gifts for you.
The first gift is a few words from me.
"When I see a righteous man, I try to improve myself"
"so I can measure up to him."
"When I see an evil man, I search my heart to see if I have that evil in me."
Take a good look at these officials.
Don't measure yourself against any of them.
You should reflect on yourself more.
What do you think? Have you accepted this gift?
Yes, I have.
Thank you, Vice Prince Zhang.
Good! As for the second gift...
Princess Caidie, this is a painting that I've drawn for you.
Please accept it.
It's so pretty.
What? She drew that herself?
It's not drawn by some renown artists.
It just costs them some money to get ink and paper.
It's not even very well drawn.
How dare she give it as a gift?
Those of a lowly status are so petty-minded.
She's embarrassed the Vice Prince.
Who did you call petty?
Who did you say she embarrassed?
I'm surely not referring to you Vice Prince Zhang.
Calm down.
Don't get so worked up.
You want me to stay calm?
Mind that dog mouth of yours!
Don't go around biting others with that mouth!
Vice Prince Zhang, I didn't say anything wrong.
How could you compare me to a dog?
Right, you're no dog.
- You're not even fit to be a dog! - That's enough!
Vice Prince Zhang, should you go on with this, it will get ugly.
You spoil your wife too much.
Do you know what this occasion is?
You allowed her to start an argument?
- Do you have any dignity as a husband? - I...
Vice Prince Zhang.
Watch your manners.
What about them?
Are you going to teach me a lesson as well?
I'm not.
I'm just telling you
that this is Vice Prince Huiwu's manor.
Don't stir up any trouble here.
"A cluster of ownerless peach trees bloom in luxuriant splendor."
"Which are more lovely the red flowers or the pink?"
Don't you find that Du Fu's "Strolling along the Riverside Enjoying Flowers"
makes peach blossoms seem dignified and adorable?
I sometimes find Caidie similar to these peach blossoms.
She's so mischievous that it makes me troubled
but I can't bring myself to reproach her.
Isn't that so?
Greetings to Your Highness!
- Don't stand on ceremony. - Thank you, Your Highness!
Your Highness is in such a refined mood.
Peach blossoms are in full bloom. It's a good time to admire them.
Isn't it?
Don't you think that Caidie is like these peach blossoms?
She's truly adorable.
Princess Duan Min is too kind.
Caidie isn't as good as you say.
Would you like to come in?
Yes, I'm about to go in.
Greetings to Arch Princess Consort Chong.
- Don't stand on ceremony. - Thank you, Your Highness.
Duan Min, are you here to congratulate them?
- Yes, Mother. - Good.
Shall we go in together then?
Why have you drunk so much again? It's still daytime!
Yes! I am drunk!
So?
I'm also going to act drunk!
Hong Jun!
Watch your words and actions!
Rascal!
How dare you lay your hands on me?
I'll teach you a lesson today!
Don't!
Hong Jun! Calm down!
Stop it!
- Greetings to Arch Princess Consort. - Greetings to Mother.
Duan Min, it was fortunate that Mother showed up in time to stop them.
It would have gotten messy if they really got into a fight.
Exactly.
These princes are too aggressive.
We could say that they have a strong character
or that they are simply willful
with no regard for the occasion.
Women can only try to talk them down nicely.
Even if we see them misbehaving
we can't make them look bad.
Otherwise, it will all end up being our fault.
Duan Min, that's quite deep.
I didn't understand.
Caidie, think about this.
Mother knew the key to this theory
so she won the heart of Father.
Caidie, you're going to become a wife tomorrow.
You have to learn from Mother, all right?
We have no choice since we were born into the imperial family.
The power struggle between those officials
and imperial family members is very complicated.
Even if you notice it you mustn't say it out loud.
It's best to stay out of their disputes.
Caidie, do you understand?
Exactly!
Your Highness, you must bear in mind what Princess Duan Min advised you.
Furthermore, you have to rein in your temper as well.
Don't get into any trouble from acting on an impulse.
Bang Chui, come here.
Yes.
Darn Bang Chui!
I'm chatting with Princess Duan Min.
Who are you to interrupt us?
You think that I don't know what is on your mind?
You're afraid that if I get into trouble
you'll also be punished for it, right?
It's not...
That isn't what I think.
I'm really worried about you.
Don't try that with me.
Not even a ghost would believe you.
Listen, I don't have the time to worry about people's grudges.
I've been receiving those officials all day.
I had to mind my manners and make small talk.
Do you know how tired I am?
My face is stiff from smiling.
Why would I meddle in other matters? Am I not in my right mind?
You... Are you feeling bored again?
You can't stand a day without going out.
You know me so well.
It makes me so happy to see you here today.
- You have to keep me company tonight. - Of course!
My dear sister is getting married tomorrow.
I'll surely keep you company today.
An Zhu!
Come with me.
Isn't this the deceased Empress Dowager's favorite wine?
You brought this out?
- You're that generous? - Of course.
My dear sister is getting married tomorrow
so we have to drink together today to our heart's content.
Definitely.
An Zhu.
On my way here, I actually wanted to ask Guo Xin along.
After all, the three of us haven't met up for quite some time.
I planned to have us forget about your previous conflict
but I ran into her on my way here.
Does Guo Xin still blame me?
She is really stubborn.
His Majesty has already announced the imperial decree
but she is still so persistent.
I gave it some thought
and since Guo Xin won't acknowledge you as her sister
I'll just look after you in her stead.
Duan Min, you're still the best.
It's my blessing to have you as my sister.
Honestly, I hope that after the wedding
Guo Xin can let this go.
Perhaps we could get back together like we used to. That would be great.
Don't worry.
That day will come.
An Zhu!
What took you so long?
What is that?
Princess Caidie, my mistress really dotes on you a lot.
She picked out some beautiful accessories to dress you up.
- Look. - You care about me the most.
It's good as long as you know that.
Take a look to see if you like these hairpins.
Let me have a look at this...
I know that you're quite picky.
The design and quality of these accessories are the best.
- You should like them? - Does that look nice on me?
Your Highness, don't be mad.
Don't be angry anymore.
Just because Arch Prince Chong dotes on Hong Hao
that chap has no regards for anyone.
How dare he embarrass me in front of everyone!
If it wasn't for the sake of Arch Princess Consort Chong
I'd teach him a lesson!
Your Highness, since we already left
you should let go of your anger.
It's not worth making yourself ill with so much anger.
You're one to talk. It was all because of you.
Otherwise, why would I pick a fight with them?
I know that you did that for me.
- You spoke up for me. - Look at you.
You're already my concubine.
You still act as if you're a servant.
It's no wonder you get bullied.
- Yes, I am at fault... - There you go again!
Look at you. You're always like this.
You're too soft-hearted.
Qin Er, don't worry.
As long as I'm alive
I'll never let any of those snobs bully you.
Your Highness treats me so well.
It's my greatest honor
to be loved by Your Highness.
Stop the carriage!
Your Highness, why are we stopping here?
I'll have the servants escort you home.
I'm going to have a good talk with Dailang and those lackeys!
Your Highness, don't stoop to their level.
Come home with me?
I'm going to teach bootlickers a lesson!
Stay out of this.
- Head home without me. - Yes!
Vice Prince Zhang behaved so inappropriately.
Did he have too much to drink
before he went to offer his congratulations?
He did.
If he weren't a vice prince
Vice Prince Huiwu might have driven him out of the manor.
Even if he's a vice prince
he behaved too arrogantly.
He has no regard for Vice Prince Bao Hong.
Exactly.
Not to mention the officials!
What now? Are you discussing
how to butter up Arch Prince Chong
or how to frame others?
Dailang.
You don't even greet me?
Greetings to Vice Prince Zhang.
Take a look!
These three dogs are pretending to bark as if they were humans!
You...
Please show some respect.
Should Arch Prince Chong know that you insulted imperial officials
you'd also get yourself into trouble.
What now? You're using Arch Prince Chong to intimidate me again?
Listen up!
I don't buy it!
I came here especially to warn you
that a guilty conscience needs no accuser.
E-Gutai is a good example!
We've conducted ourselves according to Arch Prince Chong's principles.
We'll do our best to solve E-Gutai's murder case.
Don't worry about it!
Stop putting on an act.
If you dare to conspire with Tie Cheng Gang
again to carry out unspeakable acts...
You, you, and you!
You'll soon join E-Gutai!
Vice Prince Zhang keeps picking on the three of us.
As the saying goes, "If this is to be tolerated, what's next?"
We'll seek an audience with Arch Prince Chong now.
Let's see how you intend to answer to His Highness!
Lackeys of Arch Prince Chong!
You live in such ease and comfort that you can't even defend yourself?
All you do is rely on Arch Prince Chong.
If I were you
I'd have died from shame!
You!
- Dailang! - Look at that lackey!
Dailang!
You want to kill me?
I'll lend you some guts!
Let's see if you can dodge my sword!
Dailang! Forget it! Have you gone mad?
He's a vice prince. Lower your sword!
Please forgive him, Vice Prince Zhang.
Dailang had too much to drink.
I believe that he has no intention of killing you.
Fine. A good dog you are indeed!
You won't bite before your owner orders you.
Look out for yourselves!
Let go of me!
Stop it. There are too many people around.
- Let go of me! - Dailang!
Dailang!
Let me hack him with my sword!
Dailang, calm down.
Why did you drink so much?
I'm upset!
I'm a Defender-General of the State!
I won't rest until I get back at him!
That's enough.
We all know what Vice Prince Zhang is like.
You don't have to take it to heart.
Moreover, as long as Arch Prince Chong has our backs
he won't dare to lay his hands on us no matter how disgruntled he is.
Exactly!
For the past few days I've been thinking.
We support Arch Prince Chong so that
he can win the favor of His Majesty.
Tell me. Is that right or wrong?
What now?
We ended up with such a bad reputation.
I won't continue to live like this!
Dailang!
Lower your voice, all right?
We're out on the street.
If anyone passes on what you just said to the Arch Prince Manor
we'll lose our heads.
So?
I'm not scared!
- I'm not scared! - Su Na!
He's drunk too much. If he keeps saying such nonsense
he'll get us in trouble! Quickly!
- Let's take him home. Go! - Go!
- Let go of me! - Go!
Is that really true?
Dailang does make us quite worried.
That's why I'm here to discuss it with you.
This is a very tricky matter.
If General Dailang can't keep himself from blurting out
what we did together back then
we'll all be in deep trouble!
It's not just us.
It might even go wrong with Arch Prince Chong as well!
General Yabulan...
I'll try to speak to General Dailang as soon as possible.
Before I do so, please pay more attention to everything that
General Dailang says and does.
You mustn't allow him to make any blunders.
That's for certain.
I hope that Dailang can take your advice
to speak and act cautiously.
Yes.
Although I never use it
it's still useful to carry it with me.
Here, I'll wrap it up.
It might be a lovely memory for me
but it almost cost Caidie her reputation.
I have to keep it hidden no matter how much I miss her.
Is it better to take this gift to the Arch Lord Manor?
Wei Tang!
Come and greet General Yabulan.
Father. General.
Isn't this our groom-to-be?
Congratulations.
You're going to be consort of a young mistress tomorrow.
Thank you, General.
Wei Tang, where are you going at such a late hour?
I'm going to get some air.
It's nothing important.
All right. Don't stay out too late.
You have to marry Young Mistress Guo Xin early tomorrow morning.
Yes.
- I'll take my leave, Chief Tie. - Sure.
This way, please.
Greetings to Imperial Guard Tie.
Housekeeper Zhang.
I might not be able to congratulate Arch Lord Batu
and Princess Caidie tomorrow morning.
Therefore...
I'm here to drop off my gift in advance.
Please give these to Princess Caidie.
Please rest assured, sir.
I'll take care of it.
Sir, since you're already here
why don't you go in to congratulate His Lordship?
It's already very late. I won't disturb him.
I'll take my leave.
Sure. Take care.
Your Lordship.
Who was here?
Your Lordship, it was Imperial Guard Tie.
He brought over a pair of golden bangles for you and Princess Caidie.
Why didn't you invite him in?
He said that it was very late
so he wouldn't disturb you.
It seems that Wei Tang truly does care for Caidie deeply.
He brought the gift over in person at such a late hour.
But since Caidie and I already made a pact
he should have made plans accordingly.
Tomorrow... Caidie will become Batu's wife.
And I'll be Young Mistress Guo Xin's consort.
Caidie and I will never be together.
From now on, even if I do see Caidie
it will feel as if we are miles apart.
In that case, I'd rather not see her!
This is so pretty.
Once you're dressed up in this outfit and these accessories
you'll look enchanting and you'll charm everyone.
Not at all.
I'm nothing like you.
If it were you, it would be more than charming everyone.
You even charm the deities!
I just find it such a pity
that Prince Boerji wasn't fortunate enough.
Me and my nonsense!
It's all right, my dear sister.
You don't have to be worried.
Caidie, I sincerely wish you and Batu
a lifetime of happiness together and that you are blessed with a child soon.
Duan Min, let me tell you about something.
Batu and I are getting married because of the imperial decree
- but... - But?
A pair of jade Qilin (mythical beast).
This is a pair of pillows with mandarin ducks embroidered on them.
It isn't worth much but it's a token from my heart.
Thank you, Your Ladyship.
- There. - Yes.
I've been keeping His Highness company all day
so I could only come over at such a late hour.
I'm afraid that I might have disturbed Vice Prince Huiwu.
Please don't say that.
Your Ladyship brought us gifts in person.
I'm very grateful.
Your Highness is too polite.
I should have come over sooner.
It's already so late but I wonder if Princess Caidie is still awake?
Your Ladyship would like to see Caidie?
Yes. I wonder if that is possible.
Of course.
- Bang Chui. - Present.
- Show Her Ladyship the way. - Yes.
This way, please, Your Ladyship.
Your Highnesses.
Nanny Su, where have you been?
Are you done with all the packing?
You have to go with Caidie tomorrow to Arch Prince Manor.
I don't have much to pack.
Everything is all prepared.
I came over so late because I prepared more medicinal herbs.
I'll bring them to Arch Prince Manor and that will guarantee them a son.
Good...
What did you say?
You and Arch Lord Batu are just pretending to be married?
What kind of a joke is that?
Duan Min, this is a secret. Can you keep your voice down?
Why would I lie to you?
It's true.
We made a pinky swear.
Caidie...
You're getting bolder and bolder.
This is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty.
How can you treat it as a joke?
What is it with Arch Lord Batu?
I thought that he was mature and prudent.
How could he be just like you?
How can you take your marriage so lightly?
Duan Min, this is a makeshift plan.
I didn't tell anyone about this secret.
I'm only telling you.
Even that stupid Bang Chui knows nothing about this.
She can't keep a secret. I'd be dead if she blurted it out without meaning to.
You must remember not to tell anyone.
This is strictly between us.
You really kept it hidden well.
Why did you wait until now to tell me?
Why? You don't like my plan?
I know how you feel about him.
But I have no other choice than to marry Batu.
That's why I made him go along with my plan.
Don't worry. Once Batu and I arrest the hairpin killers
Batu will ask Arch Prince Chong to render our marriage invalid.
Then you can marry Batu.
Isn't that good?
You're too unrealistic.
How could it be that simple?
How will we know the outcome if we never give it a try?
Your Highness.
Fourth concubine of Arch Prince Chong is here.
Greetings to fourth Auntie.
You may both rise. There are no outsiders here.
You don't have to be so polite.
Thank you, fourth Auntie.
Caidie, I came over especially to take a look at you.
Is the bridal gown ready?
Everything's ready.
Luckily, Duan Min is here to help me with this.
Otherwise, how could it be so well prepared?
- It looks good. - Caidie is a natural beauty.
These accessories are but an added touch to her beauty.
Exactly. When Arch Lord Batu sees you tomorrow
he will surely be charmed and fall head over heels in love with you.
Should we make it difficult for Arch Lord Batu tomorrow
when he comes to marry Caidie?
- Sure! - Sure!
Let's have some fun with Arch Lord Batu tomorrow.
Certainly!
We have to come up with difficult tasks to play tricks on him
so that he knows that it's not so easy to marry me.
Sure.
Poor Arch Lord Batu.
He has to get through so many obstacles to marry a wife...
As if!
You side with the outsider? Come up with some plans!
Caidie, you're going to be married into the arch lord's manor today.
From then on, you will belong to Arch Lord Batu.
I'm afraid that it won't be easy for me to see you anymore.
Mother, don't be upset.
If you wish to see me I'll visit more often.
Why don't I come here every day?
That might be nice
but you have to ask Arch Lord Batu for his permission first.
What matters most for women are the three obeisances and the four virtues.
Before marriage, obey your father.
After marriage, obey your husband.
You must keep that in mind.
Mother, those are the morals of the Han Chinese.
I don't have to abide by that.
If they are morals you should keep them in mind.
Batu is the arch lord of Karchin and son of Vice Prince Shalu.
When you move to Karchin you must be obedient
or they will laugh at our princess for having no manners.
Exactly.
That's why I don't want to marry him.
What are you talking about?
Is this the time
to keep saying such words?
I'm serious.
Father, it's not too late to annul this marriage, is it?
I just can't bear to leave you and Mother.
Caidie, don't worry.
I'll have Nanny Su and Bang Chui keep you company.
They know your temper and habits the best.
I won't be worried about you if they are by your side.
Mother, it's all right.
I can take good care of myself.
Don't worry.
Should we touch up your makeup?
Again?
Bang Chui.
Why are you crying?
I'm thinking that
once Her Highness leaves this room
she will belong to the Shalu family.
Her Highness can't bear to leave
and I feel upset for her.
This...
Mother, don't be fooled by Bang Chui.
When she heard that you're sending her with me to Karchin
she was so terrified! She's worried that I'll bully her.
All right, stop fooling around.
We do have to touch up your face.
Bang Chui, bring the makeup here.
- Yes. - It's not necessary, Bang Chui.
Mother, this is pretty good.
Once I put the veil on
no one will see my face.
How silly is that?
This is once in a lifetime event for a woman.
You have to be the most beautiful bride in the world.
Moreover, when Arch Lord Batu unveils you tonight
won't it terrify him to see that your makeup is all smudged?
That's perfect.
Will he send me back if I give him a fright?
You're saying such nonsense again.
Caidie, you'll be his wife starting tomorrow.
Why do you still speak without thinking?
How inappropriate.
Mother, I'm not good enough.
I used to be naughty and playful here in our manor.
I stirred up trouble and made you worry.
Now that I'm getting married, I still make you worry.
It's good that you know this.
Caidie, after you marry into the arch lord's family
you must serve him well as a wife.
You have to work on reining in your temper.
I won't be by your side.
No one will love you and take care of you like I have anymore.
Bang Chui, go and bring it here.
Yes.
Mother, I'm going to arrest the hairpin killers
and then I can come home to look after you.
All right now. It is Caidie's wedding today.
We should all be happy.
Father...
Father, I actually worry about you the most.
After I'm married
there won't be anyone here to cheer you up, right?
Look at you. You're always frowning.
If you keep frowning you will get wrinkles.
It's best that you're not here.
No one will make me angry anymore.
You must remember what your mother just told you.
Stop being so mischievous.
Otherwise, I'll still make you copy all the Tang poems.
Father! I'm going to be married!
I still have to copy Tang poems?
Don't try to fool me.
Do you think that I don't know?
You couldn't bear to make me copy all those poems.
Although you always punished me with that
you never once checked on me.
Even so, I still made Bang Chui copy all of them.
You!
Bang Chui, you...
Judging by that sound, the groom has arrived.
Why did he get here so soon?
They are here!
Arch Lord Batu, please dismount.
I wonder what tasks Princess Duan Min and Your Ladyship have for me.
You must complete three tests in order to marry Princess Caidie.
Go ahead.
A strong physique is a basic requirement for starting a family and a career.
The first test is a physical test.
Arch Lord Batu, do you see that stone lion statue?
I wonder if you can lift that lion statue?
Your Ladyship, is this a joke?
That lion statue must weigh at least a few hundred kilos.
It's fine.
Arch Lord Batu is so strong.
- Wonderful! - He's great!
Arch Lord Batu is indeed highly skilled in martial arts.
Who knew that he could also lift a few thousand kilos?
A few thousand kilos?
Yes. We tampered with that lion statue
and filled it with iron.
Arch Lord Batu passed the first test with such ease.
That thousand-kilo statue seemed like a feather in your hands.
You can all take a look at it.
When Arch Lord Batu placed the statue back
it hadn't moved one inch from its original spot.
And he made no sound at all.
That means Arch Lord Batu is really strong internally.
He's strong and powerful.
Exactly!
He's so powerful!
What about the second test?
As for the second one, it's an intellectual test.
If all you have is physical strength
how can you win over the beauty?
I have to tell you about the seven principles for pampering your wife.
You have to memorize them and recite them out loud. Is that all right?
Go ahead.
One, when your wife is ill
you have to try her medication
and look after her.
You mustn't be indifferent to her.
