[Scarlet Heart] [Episode 15]
Greetings, Fourth Prince.
Rise.
- Do you like lotuses too? - Yes.
I like the quietness of this place.
Okay.
I'll show you a place that's truly quiet.
How did you know there's a boat here?
Since I like this place a lot, I asked someone to make me a boat.
Get in the boat.
I want to take a rest.
Enjoy.
Don't look at me like that again.
Let go.
If you put down your handkerchief, then I'll let go.
But you can't look at me like that again.
Okay.
You must keep your promise.
Can you move over so I can sit up?
Do you often come here for a break?
I've been here a few times.
You seem to like this place a lot.
Why don't you come more often?
If I indulge too much in beauty
it can easily make me lose my mind.
Let's go.
He's gone back to being Straight Face again.
Ruo Xi.
- Eunuch Li. - It's okay.
Looks like you'll have to prepare more tea and tea sets soon.
Why?
Is His Majesty going on another hunting trip?
He's already confirmed his list.
Looks like it's going to be a really fun hunting trip.
Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, Eighth Prince
Ninth Prince, Thirteenth Prince, Fourteenth Prince.
Fourteenth Prince?
Eunuch Prince, will Princess Min Min be there as well?
Of course.
- Eunuch Li, I'd like to-- - No.
Don't you even think about pulling out this time.
You've now fully recovered.
- There's no reason to be lazy. - Eunuch Li.
Ruo Xi, let me tell you.
You must adjust your mindset and dedicate yourself to serving His Majesty.
Nothing else can be more important than that.
You're not getting any younger.
You don't have a lot of time left.
If you want to find a good husband
all it takes is an order from the emperor.
Miss, it certainly feels totally different to be out here in Mongolia.
Just looking at the vast grassland
and tall blue sky can make you feel refreshed and energized.
You're right.
The grassland is certainly a place where we can be truly free.
No wonder the emperor always comes here for hunting trips.
He didn't come here just for its scenery.
I know.
He also wants to meet with the Mongolian king.
I heard the Mongolians will be coming to greet the emperor in a few days.
That's right, they'll be here soon.
I must be prepared for it.
Miss, what else do you need?
Nothing. Let's tidy up.
Okay.
Greetings, Fourteenth Prince.
- I want to talk to you. - I don't want to hear it.
It's about what happened last time as well as Princess Min Min.
I owe you a favor. What do you want?
Princess Min Min will be here in a few days.
Can we talk about how we're going to explain to her?
Just tell her the truth and apologize.
I'm sure she won't be that hard to persuade.
It's not that easy.
Perhaps Princess Min Min won't forgive us that easily.
I thought Maertai Ruo Xi's an expert in persuading people.
Why would you be so worried?
You bastard.
King Suwanguaerjia will be here today.
Make sure you're all as hospitable as you can be.
Yes.
Ruo Xi, is something wrong?
- Nothing. - Good.
Royal Father, as for the task that you gave me last time--
Royal Father, I need to go to the toilet.
- May I be excused? - Approved.
It's a good thing that Fourteenth Prince excused himself.
At least it'll give me a chance to explain to Princess Min Min.
King Suwanguaerjia has arrived!
- I bow before you, Your Majesty. - Please rise.
Greetings, King Suwanguaerjia.
It's been a while since I last saw you, but you're still looking very well.
I heard you've just had another grandson.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
I'm also very happy about it.
You also have a lot of children and grandchildren yourself.
With your superb upbringing
now your children have become a great help in looking after your kingdom.
They're definitely not as competent as your sons, Your Majesty.
Not only are they handsome, but they're also very courageous and smart.
You shouldn't compliment them.
Otherwise they'll become too arrogant.
- Let's have a seat. - Please.
Please have a seat.
Even if she's stunningly beautiful but I don't like her
then there's no point for us to talk about it.
Prince He Shu, I heard you're very good at horseback riding.
I'd love to learn from you if we have time.
The Chinese always say heroes should appreciate one another.
I've also heard a lot about you, Thirteenth Prince.
I'd love to exchange a few ideas with you.
Thank you, Prince He Shu. Please have some tea.
What's taking Fourteenth Prince so long?
Royal Father, Fourteenth Brother had an upset stomach yesterday.
Perhaps he's not used to our diet here.
- Has he summoned the imperial doctor? - Not yet.
You shouldn't neglect small illnesses just because you think you're young.
Yes, Royal Father.
Summon the imperial doctor to take a look at Fourteenth Prince.
Yes.
Now that I'm older, I finally realize how important it is to stay healthy.
I totally agree with you, Your Majesty.
I'm also very careful with my diet.
I eat different tonic foods according to the seasons.
Keeping an eye on our diets is the best way to stay healthy.
We must be careful and choose the right foods to eat.
- Come on, let's have some tea. - Please.
Eighth Brother, did you see the Mongolian king and Princess Min Min?
Was Ruo Xi still very scared?
Fourteenth Brother, she has every right to be scared.
We did get her into trouble.
Eighth Brother, why are you still sticking up for her?
After all, Ruo Xi only lied to Min Min because she wanted to help us.
We can't get emotional because of what happened between us.
We must try to help Ruo Xi get out of trouble.
Okay.
When I saw how worried and scared she was
I actually felt quite bad for her.
But I can't keep hiding from Princess Min Min.
Just like Ruo Xi had said
maybe just an apology is not enough.
I'm sure Ruo Xi will try to explain to Princess Min Min.
Let's go with her and apologize to the princess.
Once she's no longer angry, we can explain to her.
Okay, I'll take full responsibility for it.
I won't drag Ruo Xi into it and let her get punished.
I shouldn't wait any longer. Just get it over and done with.
Otherwise things might get even worse if I let it drag on.
But how should I tell her the truth?
- Greetings, Princess Min Min. - Ruo Xi, get up.
Don't be so formal with me.
- How have you been? - I'm very well. How about you?
I've been really well too.
- Did you... - You...
You can go first, Princess.
Did you ask him for me?
Doesn't he like me?
Since your father doesn't want you to marry Thirteenth Prince
why don't you stop thinking about him?
Why? Why doesn't he like me?
Aren't I as pretty as his wife?
Princess, it's not your problem.
I'm going to ask him what it is about me that he doesn't like.
Princess.
Princess!
- Princess Min Min. - Fourteenth Prince.
Can you tell me what's wrong with me?
This is not the right time.
Please go back, Princess.
Royal Father's waiting for me and Fourteenth Brother.
Just answer my question.
You...
What are you doing here?
Fourteenth Brother, you know each other?
Fourteenth Brother? You're Fourteenth Prince?
Yes, I am.
You lied to me.
- Princess, listen to me. - Is he Fourteenth Prince?
Let me explain.
So is he your boyfriend?
You lied to me. You've been using me.
I treated you as my best friend and told you everything.
But why did you do that to me?
Princess, you once said Mongolians don't give up their friends easily.
Please forgive me.
I shouldn't have lied to you, but I had a reason for it.
Can you please let me explain?
- Are you very close to her? - Yes.
Then did you know she tricked me into hiding Fourteenth Prince for her?
- No, I didn't. - That's how you treat your friends.
You lied to us both.
- Princess-- - I'm going to tell the emperor.
I want to know what other despicable things you've done.
Princess, please don't do that.
You can yell at me or beat me up for what I've done.
I can understand if you're angry.
You don't have to tell Royal Father about what happened before.
I can tell him myself.
Fourteenth Brother.
We shouldn't make a big fuss over this and get Royal Father involved.
She used me to hide Fourteenth Prince.
Goodness knows what other secrets they have kept between them.
Ruo Xi's not like that. You must be mistaken.
Crown Prince said someone had tried to kill him.
I only agreed to help Ruo Xi because I believed that they were in love.
What if someone really did try to kill Crown Prince?
Princess, you shouldn't get worried or angry about it.
Fourteenth Brother and Ruo Xi grew up together.
That's why he came in disguise to see her.
We really shouldn't get Royal Father involved.
How can you stick up for her without knowing why she did it?
- Is that necessary? - Would you do the same for me?
Would you stick up for me without asking me anything?
Thirteenth Prince.
I know what kind of a person Ruo Xi is.
So there's no need to ask her anything.
Princess!
- Princess. - Ruo Xi, get on the horse.
Ruo Xi, no matter what happens, just blame it all on me.
It's a serious offense to disobey a royal order
but I'm sure Royal Father won't kill his son for it.
I'd be really grateful if you can forgive her.
What's going on over there?
- Your Majesty. - Royal Father.
- Rise. - Min Min, come and greet the emperor.
Your Majesty, since she's been really spoiled by me
and runs around the grassland all day
she's not as well-mannered as the princesses in Forbidden City.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
- Greetings, Royal Father. - Rise.
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Royal Father.
Princess, you seem to be a bit angry.
Has Thirteenth Prince been bullying you?
Thirteenth Prince wouldn't let me race Ruo Xi on our horses
so we had an argument.
Thirteenth Brother, why did you do that?
Look how angry Princess Min Min is.
Although Ruo Xi hasn't been taught for a long time
a friendly race won't hurt at all.
Your Majesty, does that mean I can race Ruo Xi?
Min Min, stop being ridiculous.
Let's just have a friendly race.
We can be their audience.
It's not that ridiculous.
Go and get ready.
I'll do Thirteenth Prince a favor and give you another chance.
If you win, then I'll forget about it.
But if you lose, then it's your bad luck.
What kind of a chance is that?
Why don't you race me instead?
All right. You better pick a good horse for your girlfriend.
I won't go easy on you like I did last year.
Thank you, Princess.
Don't worry. Just do your best.
If you lose, I'll help you.
Hopefully my charm can work on her.
Thank you.
Princess, remember the deal?
If I win, then we'll still be friends.
If you can win with just a few months of practice
I'll definitely keep my promise.
Ruo Xi!
Stop the horse.
Ruo Xi!
Ruo Xi.
Get down.
- Ruo Xi, are you okay? - Are you okay?
You've got so many faces.
- Many faces? - What is she talking about?
Ruo Xi, are you okay?
- Off you go. - Yes.
Can you hear me?
Thank goodness.
Are you crazy?
Fine, I won't mention it again.
I wasn't going to tell the emperor anyway.
I just wanted to scare you for lying to me.
What are you doing?
I already said I forgive you.
Thank you for forgiving me.
But it's my fault, so I should apologize to you.
It's okay. Get up.
Thirteenth Prince, Fourteenth Prince, the emperor and king are very worried.
- Please go back now. - Okay, you may go now.
- Yes. - Let's go.
Ruo Xi, did you get hurt?
- No, I didn't. - Was it that important to win the race?
- I'm sorry, Your Majesty. - Your Majesty, it's not her fault.
I forced her to have a race with me.
What kind of a bet did you have that made Ruo Xi so set on winning?
- We didn't have any bets. - Min Min, don't be so rude.
Ruo Xi's been serving me for quite some time now.
I know her character very well.
She'd never do something so risky unless she's sure of winning.
Royal Father.
- Your Majesty. - Please get up, King Suwanguaerjia.
It's my daughter's fault.
I'd like to have a word with you in private.
All of you can go back first.
Prince He Shu, would you like to have a cup of tea with me?
- It's my pleasure. - Please.
Princess Min Min, what was all that about?
Didn't you see, Crown Prince?
We simply had a race and Ruo Xi defeated me.
Fine, I still have some work to do.
I'm going.
Princess, you're truly a Mongolian woman.
I've never seen Crown Prince so embarrassed before.
Princess, what do you think your father will say to His Majesty?
My father probably thinks we were fighting over Thirteenth Prince.
That's why he wanted to talk to him in private.
Your father's actually right.
It was kind of true, wasn't it?
Otherwise why did you get so angry?
How can you embarrass me like this?
I'll get you back for this.
Princess, why would you feel embarrassed if it wasn't true?
You were the one who made it so obvious.
Heroes never hide behind people.
I'm just a simple girl.
I've never wanted to be a hero.
That's why I can hide behind a hero.
No, I'm not. Princess, just do whatever you need to do.
Princess, she already got quite a shock from the race.
Please forgive her.
Look at them. They're still trying to trick me.
You should see they way they yell at each other when they argue.
- Really? - Of course.
They fight all the time.
One of them would get so mad and the other would keep crying.
- Thirteenth Prince. - Fine. I'll stop, okay?
I'd hate to make Fourteenth Brother upset.
Because then I'd make Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother upset.
I'll never be able to fight the three of you at the same time.
Ruo Xi, thank you so much.
You should thank Thirteenth Prince, not me.
I was also helping myself.
Thirteenth Brother's charm certainly worked very well.
I didn't think he'd help me at all.
In that case, you should thank him personally.
Since you're a prince, I know it'll be hard for you to say thank you.
I didn't say I wasn't going to do it.
You'll also have to explain to him.
- What should I say to him? - Tell him the truth.
The truth?
If Thirteenth Prince could help me without asking anything
it's only right for me to be honest with him.
Thirteenth Prince must be back from taking Princess Min Min home.
Go on, why did you come to see me?
Ruo Xi, since I knew you were going to come here
I actually turned down Fourth Brother so that I could wait for you.
After he heard that His Majesty had reshuffled some of the major officials
Fourteenth Prince disobeyed the order and came to see Eighth Prince in Mongolia.
I was the one who arranged for them to meet.
But then Crown Prince found out
so he said he saw a thief and wanted to catch Fourteenth Prince.
Since I didn't know what to do
I told Princess Min Min that he was my boyfriend and asked her to hide him
so that Crown Prince wouldn't find him.
No wonder Fourteenth Brother was "sick at home" during that time.
So you were actually in Mongolia.
Thirteenth Brother, thank you so much for helping me.
You're thanking me?
What a rare occasion.
Ruo Xi, you certainly have quite a lot of influence on him.
Thirteenth Prince, will you tell Fourth Prince about this?
You don't want Fourth Brother to know about it?
I don't want to hide this from Fourth Brother.
What do you think will happen if Fourth Brother knows about this?
Are you worried that he'll tell Royal Father?
Part of the reason I helped you this time was because of Ruo Xi.
But I also did it for Fourth Brother and Consort De.
Fourteenth Brother, Fourth Brother may appear to be a cold person
who can be quite strict and harsh at times
but don't worry, no matter what happens
he'd never do anything to harm his own brother.
All right, let's not talk about this anymore.
I want some tea.
But...
Thirteenth Brother.
Is she always like this?
That's what she's like.
She's even done things that are much ruder than this.
Thirteenth Prince.
King Suwanguaerjia knows how Princess Min Min feels about you.
You'll probably become his son-in-law in the future.
Whatever.
If he doesn't mind his daughter being one of my concubines
then I wouldn't mind marrying her.
But she really likes you.
You shouldn't marry her if you don't like her.
She's not just a piece of furniture for you to place in your manor.
I don't want to waste her time.
But if it's Royal Father's order, how can I disobey him?
I don't care. You can't marry her if you don't like her.
Ruo Xi.
You can go back first.
I'm going to see Princess Min Min.
Do you want to convince her not to marry Thirteenth Brother?
I actually don't want her to marry him either.
Min Min's very precious to King Suwanguaerjia.
If she marries Thirteenth Brother
it'll be a threat to Eighth Brother.
Please go back, Fourteenth Prince.
I don't need to know about this.
Ruo Xi.
After seeing how close you are to Thirteenth Brother
I finally realized how much I've underestimated you.
Now that I really want to be friends with you
you're giving me such a bad attitude.
What makes me any worse than Thirteenth Brother?
Let me remind you.
You were sent to the palace from Eighth Brother's manor.
Thirteenth Prince never pressures me.
Our friendship doesn't have anything to do with politics.
Also, Thirteenth Prince would never say what you said just then.
That's the difference.
- Get out! - Min Min, listen to me.
I don't want to hear it. Get out!
- Greetings, Prince He Shu. - Rise, Miss Ruo Xi.
- Princess, don't do that. - What's wrong with Princess Min Min?
I really don't know what to do.
You've come just in time. Miss Ruo Xi, please talk to her.
Princess, please don't be mad.
- Go away! - Princess, don't be so mad.
I don't want to hear it. Get out!
Miss Ruo Xi.
- Please go outside. - Yes.
- Bring her some water to wash up. - Yes.
Ruo Xi.
My father begged His Majesty to arrange a marriage for me.
With whom?
Prince Zuo Ying from the Yiergenjueluo tribe.
They'll be coming to see His Majesty in a few days.
Is it one of the eight noble tribes in Mongolia?
I'll never marry him.
I'd rather hang myself than marry him.
Princess Min Min.
Are you sure you want to marry Thirteenth Prince
and be one of his concubines
and sit in a small garden every day
and hope that he'd think of you so that he'd come and see you?
Forgive me for being straightforward.
Since you wouldn't be Thirteenth Prince's favorite concubine
knowing your character
if you had a conflict with the other concubines
do you really think he'll take your side?
I know that's a very cruel thing to say.
But think about it, Princess.
Among all your father's concubines
apart from one or two who are his favorites
how many of them are truly happy?
Have you ever thought about
the day when you'd become one of them?
So what your father really wants to do
is not just to marry you to a prince.
He just wants you to give up on Thirteenth Prince.
Did you know why your father interrupted us today?
I don't think he was worried about
being embarrassed by the two of us fighting over Thirteenth Prince.
Then why did he do that?
Since His Majesty's been trying to gather all the Mongolian tribes' support
if you're willing to marry his son
then it'll definitely be to his advantage.
Once news gets out about what happened today
His Majesty will definitely approve of your marriage to Thirteenth Prince.
No matter how much King Suwanguaerjia hates the idea
he still won't have any say in it.
So in order to protect you
you father decided to jump in and took care of it for you.
Princess.
You have a father and brother who truly love you.
If you stay in Mongolia
no one will ever bully you.
Crown Prince has actually shown interest in your beauty.
But your father pretended that he didn't notice it.
If it was someone else's father
I'm sure he'd use it in exchange for a higher status and more power.
Princess.
Since you're from a noble family
you must have seen and heard a lot about such things already.
These tears don't belong to you.
Do you only use your toughness against your father?
If you really don't want to marry that prince
you can certainly try to change your father's mind
by threatening to take your own life.
As long as you can give up on Thirteenth Prince
I think he will change his mind.
Does that mean I won't get to see Thirteenth Prince again?
That's right.
Do you think I'll ever meet someone who's just like Thirteenth Prince?
If you give up on the moon
I'm sure you'll find another star that's suitable for you.
Someone who's better than him and will love you even more.
But I still want to cry.
Then just cry it out.
Once you're done, wipe away your tears
and look up to the sky.
Otherwise you'll miss the star that's suitable for you.
Ruo Xi.
- Princess Min Min. - Don't be so formal.
My father said he'll ask the emperor to cancel my marriage.
He said I can choose someone whom I truly love.
But he said Prince Zuo Ying from Yiergenjueluo tribe really likes me.
That's great. I'm so happy for you.
My father kept complimenting you
saying no wonder His Majesty thinks highly of you.
Why would he say that?
Because I told him
that I've decided not to marry Thirteenth Prince.
He thought I was lying to him.
So I told him what you'd told me.
If Thirteenth Prince doesn't like me
then there's no point to me marrying him.
So my father said I'm very lucky to have a friend like you.
Can I call you Sis from now on?
Sure, but only when we're alone.
Don't call me that when there are people around.
What's wrong?
I think even if I find my own star
I'll never forget Thirteenth Prince's laughter and singing.
I'd like to dance for him.
So that whenever he sees someone dancing
he'll remember the dance that I performed for him before.
Okay.
I'll do my best to help you leave an unforgettable impression on him.
He'll always remember you.
Put these fabrics in a pile.
Miss, what do you think about this costume?
- Can you change its buttons? - Sure.
Miss, do you need more silk fabric?
Yes, please.
Miss Ruo Xi, please have a look at the stage design.
Put another frame here for my decorations.
I'll talk to the carpenter about the rest.
- Off you go. - Yes.
Sis, thank you so much.
You're welcome. I hope we can give everyone a surprise.
We're really looking forward to your show.
I'm sure it'll be a great show.
- We can't wait. - I can't wait either.
Okay, let's do it.
- Do what? - Do what?
I mean, let's keep working.
Let's get back to work.
Go!
- Good! - Good one!
Good!
What a great fight.
Ruo Xi, you've been asking those carpenters to build a stage
and ordering a lot of fabrics lately.
Since you've made such a big fuss
you better make sure it's going to be a great show.
I'd hate to get humiliated at King Suwanguaerjia's farewell banquet.
No, you won't.
Then you must help me.
If you like it, then no one would dare laugh at me.
I'll definitely punish you if it's not good.
It'll be Min Min's fault if anything goes wrong.
She's always the clumsy one.
Look at that huge eagle.
As the eagle glides through the sky
you should all be just like that eagle
and show everyone your ability, expertise, and confidence.
Yes.
Royal Father, the eagle is Crown Prince's new pet.
Crown Prince, do you know how to tame an eagle?
I do.
Just like you
what I appreciate most is the eagle's courage and calmness.
Especially its speed and accuracy when it catches its prey.
So I strongly believe I have what it takes
to tame any ruler or king in this world except Royal Father, of course.
Good, very well said.
Well done.
Crown Prince, here's your chance to show me
how you can tame the king of the sky.
Yes.
Go.
- Your Majesty. - Royal Father.
- Are you okay, Your Majesty? - Royal Father, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
Your Majesty, it's Zuo Ying.
So he's Prince Zuo Ying.
I didn't mean to scare you, Royal Father.
Please punish me.
It's not entirely your fault.
It's very difficult to tame wild animals.
Make sure you learn from this mistake.
- Get up. - Yes.
It won't happen again.
I'm Yiergenjueluo Zuo Ying.
Your Majesty must have gotten quite a shock due to my belated rescue.
Please forgive me.
- Rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Zuo Ying, your eagle-taming skills have certainly improved a lot.
What would you like as your reward for rescuing me?
I was only doing my job, so I shouldn't get rewarded for it.
After a huge snowstorm last winter
a lot of cows and sheep died.
So I've come to apologize to you.
You shouldn't be held responsible for such natural disasters.
Are there any measures to protect against such disasters this year?
I've already stored up our grain and found a piece of bare land
in case the weather changes suddenly.
Good.
King Suwanguaerjia has always had an eye for great talent.
Compared to Thirteenth Prince and Fourteenth Prince
Prince Zuo Ying is just as confident and competent as they are.
But I wonder if he and Min Min are destined to be together.
