Look at this post! My eldest daughter, Princess Yong’an, has been missing for six years. I have searched for her in vain, and I weep day and night. Empress Su, out of compassion for my grief, requests that Princess Mingzhu of the Imperial Clan be adopted by me. I am reluctant to do so, but I humbly request that Princess Mingzhu of the Imperial Clan be adopted by me. I will see you tomorrow and adopt her as a princess. I will choose the auspicious day of the 15th of this month to recognize my family at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. My name is Qin Yunluo. In my past life, I was murdered by my own brother, adoptive mother, and adoptive sister. Luo Nan , no, no! I was the only princess of the Eastern Xia Kingdom , but I was wandering outside and was usurped by a fake princess. I yearn for family and to become the empress’s stepdaughter. I knelt in the Buddhist hall for three days and three nights on my own body, trying to win the empress’s favor. I poured my heart and soul into writing “The Strategy for Pacifying the Country” for the crown prince , helping him win over powerful ministers and secure his position in the Eastern Palace. Three people drew a map of the Yellow River to help their third brother become a king. A lowly orphan girl who lost her mother. If it weren’t for adoption, you would be… “You, Gong Dadu , don’t even have the right to see me! It was Mingzhu who pleaded for me as the regent. Do you think you can control the position of Crown Prince with your petty cleverness ? Even without you, I can still ascend the throne! As for the flood control , it was Mingzhu who prayed for me day and night at the Imperial Ancestral Temple! Your so-called flood control strategy is nothing but a piece of waste paper! Why did you come back ? If you hadn’t come back, I would have been the only legitimate princess! My father, mother , and brother’s favor are all mine, but none of that can compare to the fake princess’s affected manner! Heaven has eyes , allowing me to live again ten years ago, on the day of my father’s family recognition ceremony. In this life , I will not repeat the same mistakes! Your Majesty, Mingzhu is obedient and will surely replace Princess Yong’an, serving you well!” “SSOG Auspicious Time Arrives! By Imperial Decree ! My only daughter, Princess Yong’an, has been missing for a long time. I pity the imperial clanswoman Mingzhu…” The Emperor, being wise and intelligent , has specially recognized her as Princess He’an, bestowing upon her a golden seal and granting her residence in the Kunning Palace. I thank my father for his grace; from now on , I am the only princess of the Eastern Xia Kingdom! Wait a minute, who is this? Lord Bai, why are you leading a little beggar in? Today is the auspicious day of His Majesty recognizing the eldest princess. Lord Bai, are you deliberately causing trouble by leading a little beggar in ? Your Majesty, please forgive me. I encountered a little artist outside the palace , crying and shouting that she wanted to see the Emperor , claiming to be Princess Yong’an, who has been missing for six years. How could this be? How is this possible? Impossible! I’ve finally caught up in this life ! I, Qin Yunluo, will live a different life! Your subject , Yong’an, greets the Emperor ! Impossible! I am the princess chosen by the Emperor! You stinking brat, you stinking brat , how dare you impersonate Princess Yong’an! Princess Yong’an has been missing for six years! You say you are Princess Yong’an ? What evidence do you have to prove you are? Before her father and mother passed away, they asked me to bring this jade pendant to recognize my family. Also, I have a birthmark on my wrist . My mother said my father would definitely recognize this jade pendant; it is indeed the birthmark I gave to Consort Yun . Yong’an , you truly are my Yong’an! I’ve searched for you for six whole years; you’ve suffered so much! Father, Empress, and the Princess seem to dislike Yong’an. Shouldn’t Yong’an have returned? Don’t talk nonsense! You are my only daughter ! Father , shut up! The family recognition ceremony isn’t over yet; you’re not my daughter ! Your Majesty , Consort Yun passed away early, and the Princess is still young ; she must find a foster mother . Your Majesty, the palace is quiet and suitable for recuperation. Why not let the Princess come? Your Majesty, I have no children of my own and will raise Princess Yong’an as my own daughter. Choose me! Choose me! Choose me! Choose me! Choose me! Princess , choose me! Don’t argue! The Princess’s return to court is a blessing for the world. I, the Empress, am the head of the vast palace, blessed with unparalleled fortune; I am the only one to assist the Princess in her upbringing. How about coming to my Kunning Palace ? Mother, my sister must have been quite frightened when she just returned. Come to Kunning Palace, my brother will take you to play from now on . Father , may I choose my own mother? Father , you have agreed. I choose her! I choose her! Father, I like Consort Ruo. May she be my mother? In my past life, everyone treated me like dirt. When I died, only Consort Ruo and her son truly felt sorry for me. In this life , I will be your little darling . Your Highness , will you be my mother? I’m being silly, Yong’an. Do you know that Consort Ruo is a jinx ? The second prince she gave birth to was also mentally disabled because of her. Even Father hasn’t set foot in Changle Palace for many years . How dare you, Consort Ruo ! What kind of sorcery did you use to make the princess choose you, an ominous person, instead of me? Although Consort Yong’an is not yet deposed , she is practically one. If word gets out that you chose her , won’t the whole world laugh at you? Your Majesty, I observed the heavens last night and saw a malevolent star appear beside the Purple Star, directly facing Consort Yong’an. This is a sign of a lone star bringing misfortune to its master. If the Princess insists on recognizing her as her mother , not only will her own fortune be damaged , but it will also bring ruin to the fate of the Eastern Xia Kingdom. Princess , you mustn’t! If I can’t have Consort Yong’an, I can’t have her either! Father , please execute your son, Yong’an! What are you doing? Father, I have been wandering among the common people for years, never imagining I would bring ruin to the Eastern Xia Kingdom. I beg you, Father, issue the decree to execute your son now! To avert the calamity of the fall of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, I will perish first! Guards ! The Imperial Observatory is spreading rumors! Drag her out and execute the Empress! Save me! Your Majesty, save me! Issue an edict to abolish Consort Ruo’s reputation as a jinx! Grant Princess Qin Yunluo the privilege of being raised by Consort Ruo and relocated to Chang Le Palace ! Mother, I bow to you! Princess, if you do not despise my ill-fated body, I will do my utmost to care for you! Now that Yong’an has returned, the palace no longer needs two princesses. Go back to where you came from ! No, Mother , you promised to adopt me! Your Majesty , the adoption of Mingzhu has been announced to the world. If you go back now, wouldn’t you be ridiculed by the world? Why not let Yong’an be raised under Consort Ruo’s name, and Mingzhu under my name? Wouldn’t that be perfect? She’s just a country girl . Mingzhu has been carefully raised since childhood and will surely be better than her. If you like raising her, then raise her. Sister Mingzhu , we have a long future ahead of us! I thought Princess Yong’an was a smart person, but I never expected her to choose a deposed consort as your mother. Did you think her foolish son could still wake up? The imperial physicians have long said that the second prince is a complete idiot, destined to never be crowned crown prince. Sister, if you regret it now, beg Father to change your mother. Maybe Mother will show leniency and take you back to Kunning Palace. If I weren’t Father’s favored daughter, would you still send me to Kunning Palace? All you need is a stepping stone to win favor . How dare you! Do you really think I can’t live without you? Mingzhu has been carefully raised since childhood, far superior to you. But a fake is always a fake, and a pheasant can never become a phoenix. When I become crown prince, you won’t even have the right to carry Mingzhu’s shoes. Crown Prince , I also want to know how far you can go without me in this life. You, a deposed concubine , don’t think you can turn things around by relying on the princess, do you? Don’t end up bringing disaster upon yourself and your entire family to a terrible death. Your Majesty , be careful what you say. The princess is His Majesty’s only daughter, of noble birth. If she is a disaster, then it is an insult to His Majesty. I take my leave . Mother , are you curious why I chose you? Because when you smile, I feel like my own mother is still by my side . From now on, I will be your mother. Mother, you silly boy, you silly boy , hurry up and crawl like a dog, crawl back and forth . Sister, I ‘ll give you the flowers. I heard that Consort Ruo has recognized a country bumpkin for you. Sister , you can give these flowers to her. Good! Give flowers to sister. That’s wonderful . What are you doing? Greetings, Princess . Greetings, Consort Ruo. Mother, sister, come on, brother will carry you. Heng’er, get up quickly. In the past life, the Empress was jealous of Consort Ruo’s beauty and poisoned her during her pregnancy. She gave birth to a mentally challenged child and was cursed as a jinx until her death. Now that I’m here, the Empress can forget about it. How dare they let you crawl on the ground and bleed so much? I’ll blow on it for you, sister. Blowing on it will make you feel better. Princess, you don’t know that the Second Prince likes to crawl on the ground to play. You can try to believe me . Even if my brother is mentally challenged , he is still Father’s son . The esteemed Second Prince of Dongxia, when did it become your place to bully us? We are people sent by the Empress. Although you are a princess, you should ask the Empress before you can hit us, right? Then I will go to the Empress now and have her beat you to death for bullying the prince . Do you think she will protect you? Princess, spare us! This servant will never dare to do it again! Princess , spare us! Is Yong’an really a country girl? Her aura is so strong! Mother, I’m so dirty. Can I take a bath? Of course! Mother, Princess Yunluo is so cute! I’ve really found a treasure! The flowers are so pretty! My sister has suffered a lot these years wandering outside. As her brother, you must take good care of her and listen to her. Do you know, I will protect my little sister. If there are bad guys, I will chase them away for you. Get out of here! Who allowed your dirty hands to touch Mingzhu’s things? Although Brother Ziheng is a fool , he is a hundred times better than those ungrateful wretches. Mother, let’s make some pastries to send to Father. Before, I was trapped by the saying of being a jinx and gave up on myself , but now that I have you, I must regain the Emperor’s favor as soon as possible . Your Majesty , Your Majesty, said that Princess He’an was very disappointed today and kept crying. I would like to ask you to come and see my Yong’an . She has suffered so much and did not cry, but she started crying first. By the way , did Yong’an send anyone to invite me? Is she used to her first day in the palace ? Did she say she missed Father? The little princess must be afraid of disturbing Your Majesty, so she didn’t say anything. However, Consort Ruo did send someone to send some hibiscus cake. The one Consort Ruo sent was the one Yong’an sent . It even had red beans inside. Consort Ruo is so thoughtful. Consort Ruo used to make pastries for me often. In recent years, I have been wary of the saying of being a jinx and have neglected her . Your Majesty , please go to Chang Le Palace. Brother, let me teach you to write. Yunluo can actually write. Mother, don’t underestimate me. Although I was born and raised among commoners , I still had several teachers. I recognize these two characters. “Huang” means Father Emperor . ” Mother Emperor , ” Heng’er misses Father Emperor. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Father Emperor. When will Father Emperor come to see Heng’er? Your father is the ruler of the country and is busy with state affairs. When he has free time, he will naturally come to see us. But Mother Consort, Father Emperor has n’t come for one, two, three, four, or five years. Second Prince , your medicine is ready. This is ginseng that the Empress specially ordered the Imperial Hospital to add, specifically to cure your madness. Come and drink the medicine, brother! Wait , this is not ginseng at all , but fake ginseng fumigated with sulfur. What? No wonder Heng’er hasn’t improved after drinking it for so many years . How dare you steal Heng’er’s medicine! This is wild ginseng that’s over a hundred years old. This servant wouldn’t dare to steal it! You ‘re giving my brother fake ginseng fumigated with sulfur. What’s the difference between you and murder ? You’re a discarded concubine, a country bumpkin who’s been living away from home . Do you even know what kind of medicine this is? If you don’t drink it, then forget it. Second Prince, just wait to have your madness and die! Get out of here! Your Majesty, this concubine greets Your Majesty, this concubine greets Father Emperor. Rise quickly. Father Emperor is late and has caused you all to suffer. Father Emperor The palace maid was only here on the Empress’s orders; she certainly didn’t do it on purpose. This afternoon, she even had her brother crawling on the ground playing. How dare such a wicked servant drag a prince to crawl on the ground! Drag her out immediately and beat her to death! Send the head of the household to Kunning Palace so that everyone in the palace can see this is the consequence of an insubordination and humiliation of a prince ! Your Majesty , spare me! Your Majesty, spare me ! Your Majesty, the harem is about to change! Father , you are so mighty! Come, come , sit down ! How can this Yong’an residence be so shabby? Father, are you thirsty? Come, have some tea ! It’s so much better to have a daughter like me; she even knows to pour tea for me. It’s much better than those brats! Why is it water? This concubine doesn’t like tea. That’s not true! Father and Mother have never received their monthly allowance. In this palace, let alone tea, even the blankets are old cotton! You bastards! I have never deposed a concubine! How dare they treat you like this! Dongxia has been plagued by internal and external troubles in recent years. When you gave birth to Heng’er, the earth shook. The Imperial Observatory pointed out that you were a jinx. I had no choice but to comply with the will of the people and let you and your son suffer. This concubine is so humble! It’s not Your Majesty’s pity , but Heng’er is your own flesh and blood. Please, save Heng’er! Don’t let him be poisoned by fake medicine! Brother, brother, so pitiful! Li Dequan, you servant, investigate for me, including this bowl of medicine! I want to see who’s trying to harm Heng’er! It was the Empress in her previous life who embezzled the Imperial Household Department’s money to bribe court officials and help the Crown Prince move into the Eastern Palace. Now it’s time for her to spit it out! Mother, your son has prepared a poem to present to Father. Father will surely be very happy! I’ve long heard that my sister can write at three and compose poetry at five. Indeed, she’s several times better than that wild girl Qin Yunluo! Ah, Father is here! Quickly, Eunuch De! What does this mean? Your Majesty , tonight you’re staying at Chang Le Palace. You saw the palace servants you arranged making things difficult for Consort Ruo and got very angry. Father went to Chang Le Palace to accompany Yong’an , and now you’ve sent a dead person. Isn’t this bringing bad luck to my sister? Mother, did my sister say something to Father that made him hate our Empress so much? Your Majesty, something’s wrong! His Majesty has sent someone… The Imperial Household Department says someone switched the Second Prince’s medicine and they’re going to thoroughly investigate the palace accounts. What about Mother? If Father finds out I used money to bribe officials , I ‘ll never be allowed back into the Eastern Palace! Right now, the most important thing is to immediately make up for all the deficits. Jin’er , have your maternal grandfather send the money to the palace right away. Mother, Mingzhu doesn’t need clothes or jewelry anymore. Also , give some of Mingzhu’s private money to Mother and brothers. You ‘re truly my good daughter. I will never mistreat you in the future . Your Majesty, the Imperial Household Department’s purchases are all registered according to regulations. The prince’s ginseng was replaced with fake medicine. It has been verified that the purchaser was dishonest. Please, Your Majesty, make a judgment . I made up for the deficit overnight. The accounts are flawless. You can’t even spot the problem, Father. Look here, it says that on the sixth day of last month, 250 boxes of rouge were purchased. 120 boxes were purchased in the middle of the month , and another 430 boxes were purchased at the end of the month. That adds up to a total of 790. He Heng’er calculated it in a flash: ” Buying at the beginning of the month, buying in the middle of the month , and buying again at the end of the month ! Your Majesty , that batch of rouge was found to be damaged during inventory checks , and since the price was relatively cheap , it was replenished twice. Is rouge for the concubines in the harem? But Yong’an remembers that Mother Consort only gets one box of rouge a month, not much at all! Mother Consort’s box of rouge can last a very long time. So, these 790 boxes … Father, are the faces of the other concubines in the harem made of walls? Applying so much? You idiot , what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows that those concubines like to hoard rouge . Do you dare to question the Imperial Household Department’s accounts? How dare you! Heng’er, you are my brother, and you keep calling me an idiot and a fool. Is this how the Empress taught you? Your Majesty, please calm down. It’s all my fault for not disciplining you properly . Jin’er , hurry up and apologize to your brother. I’m sorry . I saw clearly last night how shabby Consort Ruo’s palace was , but this account book shows that her monthly allowance is sufficient, and she has no worries about food and clothing. Do you think the Imperial Household Department think I’m an idiot?” Your Majesty the Empress ordered me to interrogate the palace maids and eunuchs. In Chang Le Palace, there is no charcoal in winter, no ice in summer , and only one meal a day —coarse grain steamed buns— with no other food. If it weren’t for Consort Ruo’s daily needlework , my princes would be living worse than a palace maid or eunuch . Empress , is this how you manage the harem? Your Majesty, please calm down! It was truly my oversight . I am willing to punish myself with three years’ salary. Bold Wang Zhong, confess the truth! Where did all the embezzled silver go? Your Majesty, spare me! It’s all my fault ! I was greedy; I squandered all that silver ! Please, Your Majesty, have mercy! By imperial decree, the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department is sentenced to death for embezzlement . The Empress is punished for mismanagement , with a three-year salary reduction and required to copy the “Women’s Precepts” one hundred times. Consort Ruo will investigate. If she still fails to manage the harem properly next time, she will lose her position as Empress . Drag him away ! Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me! Empress Zi is threatening the harem. I’ve gone to great lengths to make up for the deficit. Now that I’m gone, let’s see how you win people’s hearts. Consort Ruo, this matter has wronged you and Heng’er. Have you thought about how to compensate us? Your Majesty cares for your concubine. Your Majesty, I am not wronged. Father, my elder brother often envies the eldest and third princes for being able to accompany you in archery. It’s a pity he has no one to teach him . If Father could personally instruct him, my elder brother and mother would be very happy. Good archery is the way of benevolence, and it is one of the six arts. It emphasizes inner will and outer posture. Pull the bow back, keep your wrist close to your ear, and keep your elbow flat. That’s how you hold it. Father , my second brother can’t even hold a bow properly. If you really want to teach him archery, don’t end up hurting yourself instead of shooting an arrow. Yong’an, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but you, a young lady, take the second prince out every day and embarrass yourself . How dare you come here ? “Your Majesty, this wild girl managed to win your heart with just a few words. My dear sister, your brother loves archery and is very strong, how could that be shameful ? Archery isn’t about who’s stronger; it’s about accuracy . Can a fool aim? Third brother, don’t say that . Perhaps second brother really is a genius. You’re right, second brother is a genius. Yong’an’s intentions are good , but archery isn’t something you can learn in one lesson. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. I thought … Your Majesty, the second prince hit something ! Heng’er hit it ! He really hit it ! Is Heng’er really a genius? I overlooked this son before. Father, eldest brother and third brother are also very skilled archers. Since second brother hit the target , why don’t we have the three of them compete? Your Majesty, please! Heng’er was just lucky. How can he compare to the eldest and third princes who have practiced for many years ?” We’re family, why should Consort Ruofei hide her talent? Everyone has witnessed the Second Prince’s archery skills. Perhaps even our Xiao’er and Yun Jin aren’t as good as him. Mother, it’s alright. Brother likes archery , let them compete. Brother is confident he can win. Father once taught men to be confident. This guy who just got lucky and hit the target actually wants to win? I ‘ll give you a pole, you still want to climb up? Want to show off ? You ‘d better see if you have the luck. Go ahead! My archery skills are undoubtedly the best among the princes. You’ve never had any teacher since you were little, you were just lucky just now. Now admit defeat and admit you’re a bad guy, and I’ll make you lose face less. How about it, sister? I said I’m not a bad guy , the one who says I’m a bad guy is the bad guy. Second brother, then you’d better go easy on me later. Third brother, be good , I won’t use my full strength. A fool really thinks I need you to let him have his way. “Excuse me , Second Brother , it’s your turn. As expected of my Third Brother, you hit the target with just one shot. Sister, do you think Second Brother will miss this time ? Didn’t the Empress teach you to stop talking nonsense? You chose a fool as your brother, there’s no need to take it out on me. Actually, it’s not a big deal if Second Brother misses the target, but I’m afraid it will disappoint Father’s careful teaching and displease him, which would be a pity. I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. Princess Yong’an and Princess He’an , Princess He’an is so young but has such proper manners and is very clever. Princess He’an has been carefully raised by Prince Chen since childhood, so it ‘s not surprising that she has such manners. But Princess Yong’an has only been back in the palace for a few days and she is already so dignified. Your Highness, Consort Ruofei has taught her well .” “Greetings, Father! May Your Majesty enjoy good health and longevity! Good, good, rise! Father, please forgive me! Yong’an, how dare you deliberately cause He’an to be disrespectful before the palace ! No, it was her who stepped on my sister, pulled her, and then she fell down with a thud! Father , Second Brother is an idiot! His words are unreliable! He must have conspired with Yong’an to frame Mingzhu ! Brothers, stop arguing! Mingzhu, my sister fell accidentally! She didn’t mean to embarrass me! Princess He’an’s disrespect before the palace is punishable by copying the ‘Admonitions for Women’ one hundred times! The Empress is supervising the punishment! Mingzhu, rise quickly! Don’t let the ministers laugh at us! Father, please help ! Mingzhu is innocent! It was clearly Yong’an, a boorish country bumpkin, who deliberately made things difficult for Mingzhu! Enough ! Yong’an is your own sister! You, as her brother…” You don’t even care about her , yet you poke at her sore spots . You ‘re so biased! Who’s the one being biased here ? Serves you right! This Second Prince doesn’t seem too stupid. He was quite decisive just now . I heard he’s incredibly strong and has amazing archery skills. Even General Xiaoyong wants to take him as his apprentice. Sister , this is delicious! In my past life, the Empress made me behave properly to please Father, even strictly controlling my eating. In this life, I can finally eat without restraint! Princess Yong’an , eating like this in front of all the ministers is far too vulgar! You can’t even eat in peace! Mother, you’re too tactful. Which princess eats like this, like a starving ghost reincarnated ? Our Mingzhu is so elegant, dignified, generous, and reserved. My Yong’an has suffered. Eat slowly, there’s no rush. Father, I’m sorry, I’ve disgraced you. My elder brother is right. I grew up in the countryside and didn’t study much. I may be ignorant and ill-mannered , but I eat a lot and eat quickly because when I was a wanderer , I was starving and had to compete with beggars and wild dogs for food every day. If I didn’t eat more and faster, I would go hungry, and if I was unlucky, I would go hungry for days and nights without even wild grass. Sister, sister, don’t cry . You are not allowed to be mean to my sister. Your Majesty, Princess Yong’an did not behave unintentionally. Let me take the blame for her. Silly child, it’s all my fault for bringing you back to the palace so late . From now on , you can eat however you want. Father doesn’t mind my lack of manners. I feel sorry for you. On the contrary, you have been pampered since you were a child and you are picky. You don’t know how to care for your sister and you always hurt her. From today onwards , you will be confined to your room to reflect on your mistakes. You can come out when you have figured things out. Father, I have wronged you . Dongyi is a land of etiquette. You should leave now . Since this girl entered the palace… Nothing ever goes smoothly for me. Is she destined to bring me bad luck? Mingzhu, on the other hand, is perfectly fine. The young lady of the Marquis’s mansion is speechless for a long time; she’s really tongue-tied. Father, please don’t be angry. My elder brother is doing this for my sister’s sake, for Yong’an’s sake. I didn’t realize it. Your son has peeled some lychees for you ; please try them. Lychees are warming, and recently I’ve had mouth ulcers. The imperial physician said it’s not advisable to eat too many . Then, your son will peel some crab for you ; it’s too cold in nature , so it’s not advisable to eat too many either . Yong’an , what are you eating? You ‘re eating so deliciously ! Let me see! Father, your son is eating crab meat. This is a bit hard to eat. It’s hard to eat? Then let me try some too. This is clearly very delicious! Yong’an, eat more to grow strong! Father, didn’t you say you couldn’t eat crab? Oh, you couldn’t eat it before, but now you can. Well then , I ‘m full. You can go now, Yong’an. Eat quickly ! Eating crab requires patience! All you know how to do is cry, cry, cry. Compared to Yong’an , you’re so useless! Heng’er brother, hurry up! Rumors are circulating that the imperial physician is F. Recently, drought and floods have occurred outside the palace. Prince Chen claims it’s caused by a jinx. Now everyone in the palace is talking about it . It’s said the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s prediction has come true . Your Majesty ‘s adoption of the princess will hinder the nation ‘s fortune. Mother, Yong’an, how can you be labeled as someone who hinders the nation’s fortune at such a young age ? This is clearly Prince Chen distorting the truth. I’m going to find His Majesty… Wait , Mother, you don’t have enough reasons to convince Father. You can only exhaust his favor towards you. But if His Majesty listens to rumors, your future will be ruined. The Empress and Prince Chen are working together; they can’t just spread rumors. Thoroughly inspect the entire Chang Le Palace. Yes, I’ll go too. Mother , don’t worry, sister . Sister , I found a box . Princess , this was found under a tree in freshly turned soil. This is a curse. It’s strictly forbidden in the palace. Who dares to practice this in the palace? Mother, look at this birth chart: S T. Yes, it’s Father’s. Someone wants to curse Father and frame Chang Le Palace. What a poisonous thought! Mother, why don’t we use this to trick you into a trap and completely wash away your jinx reputation? Empress Dowager’s decree has arrived! ” You’ve come so fast, brother ! Do you want to see a play? Yes , yes! Then let’s go! You are Yong’an! I’ve heard that you chose a jinx instead of an empress, a mother of the nation, and have caused chaos throughout the palace. What an adorable child ! Is this my granddaughter? Heng’er has grown so much! Mother , don’t forget the important matter . Yong’an , as the emperor’s own daughter, your status is noble and closely related to the fate of the nation . Consort Ruo is inauspicious ; she is unworthy to be your mother. Your Majesty , what makes you say such a thing? Princess , Consort Ruo’s fate is ominous. If she is not dealt with soon, it may affect the fate of the nation, and the people will suffer. So, how do you intend to deal with this? A great calamity has descended from the heavens; she must be burned to death to appease the wrath of heaven. Guards , seize Consort Ruo for me! Your Majesty , no ! No! Burn my mother! Your Majesty, please calm down ! Your Majesty, Father has already said that Mother is not a jinx. You look like an old sage who stepped out of a painting ; you would not be so cruel, would you, Your Majesty?” The old Taoist priest calculated that Consort Ruo was practicing witchcraft in the palace. This is a heinous crime and must not be allowed to live! I detest witchcraft the most. Consort Ruo, how dare you ! This is the evil object found in Consort Ruo’s palace. Consort Ruo, I remember your service to the Emperor. If you agree to go to Puhua Temple for spiritual cultivation, I can apologize on your behalf. The words of the Imperial Observatory have all come true. Consort Ruo is poisoned and ominous. If she is not dealt with, the consequences will be unimaginable. Look at what’s in the box. This is a witchcraft doll and a blood scripture. I heard that writing this scripture requires constant bloodletting, hence it is extremely precious. Consort Ruo , you actually wrote a blood scripture. I placed the doll myself. How did it become a Buddhist scripture? Unexpected, isn’t it? My mother is also a master of palace intrigue. In recent years, there have been continuous disasters in Dongxia . I heard that writing a blood scripture can pray for good weather and abundant harvests , so I came up with this stupid method. Please punish you, my mother. “You ‘re too honest, why didn’t you say so sooner? Get up quickly! Your Majesty, Mother Consort, you’ve been copying scriptures day and night to pray for Your Majesty and Dongxia. I never expected you to be slandered as a jinx. Please, Your Majesty, do justice for Mother Consort ! Your Majesty, forgive me! I was just too worried about the fate of Dongxia, so I made a mistake in my calculations. How despicable! She escaped this calamity ! Mother Consort almost lost her life! You think you can just let it go with one sentence about a mistake? If you’re so capable , why don’t you also calculate for me what I ate last night ? This… this… how come, Master, you’re so powerful that you even know what’s buried in Chang Le Palace, yet you don’t know what I ate last night? Master, could you perhaps have planted spies in the palace ? What are you doing, Your Majesty ? It wasn’t her who ordered you to do this. What ‘s going on ? Your Majesty, please understand! As soon as Consort Ruo adopted the little princess, natural disasters and man-made calamities kept happening. Even your spirits have been low. This… this is all because of a jinx.” “A sign of misfortune in your destiny ! Lately , I’ve felt a tightness in my chest and occasional chills. The Imperial Observatory and the Taoist priests of Yong’an have both said you cannot be adopted by Consort Ruo, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened— you’ve just arrived at Shou Kang Palace and you ‘ve already brought my grandmother to the brink of death! Guards , take this jinx away ! Release her! All of you, stop! Your Majesty , my mother is not a jinx at all, but a lucky star. As long as she comes near you , the chill in your body will instantly disappear! Your Majesty’s complexion is probably due to recently indulging in cold food . Everyone in the palace knows Consort Ruo is an unlucky person . That’s right , Consort Ruo’s destiny is jinxed; the Empress Dowager ‘s illness is all due to her. Whether that’s true or not, try and see! Consort Ruo, come forward. If you can completely dispel my chill, I will personally bestow upon you…” “Oh no , I’m doomed ! I have no good fortune at all! What should I do? Your Majesty , aren’t you the lucky star? Why don’t you dare to step forward? Consort Ruo, impersonating the lucky star to try and escape punishment is an even greater crime ! Your Majesty, Grandmother, you’re not feeling well, so please share some of your good fortune with her. Don’t be afraid, I owe my current situation to Yong’an. I believe her! Grandmother, haven’t you noticed that the atmosphere in Shou Kang Palace has become exceptionally warm since your mother approached? Indeed, I feel much warmer and have more energy. How is this possible? Congratulations, Grandmother! Your mother’s calamity has passed, and she is now a true lucky star! Grandmother, don’t let her deceive you! There’s no good fortune at all ; she must have used sorcery! Third Brother means that Grandmother has become so foolish that she can’t even distinguish between good fortune and evil aura! You, Consort Ruo…” I have indeed misunderstood you and caused you so much suffering over the years. I hereby issue an edict to bestow upon you the title of Lucky Star. Thank you, Mother Consort . As for you, Empress Dowager , spare my life! Since you were introduced by the Empress, then the Empress shall handle this matter herself. Yes , Empress, spare my life! Gag him and drag him away ! Empress , Empress, save me! Save me! Empress, Empress, spare me! Spare me! You child , your personality is nothing like the Emperor’s or your birth mother’s. That’s because I am most like my Grandmother! Very well, very well, then you shall move in with me . I will raise your sister myself. Mother Consort, I want my sister . Second Prince, are you trying to take her from me? Heng’er, don’t talk nonsense. My sister is mine and Mother Consort’s. I will continue to protect my sister. Grandmother, I have already gotten used to my brother and Mother Consort. If you really miss me, I’ll come to pay my respects to you more often, Mother . Yong’an has just returned to the palace, and I might offend you in the future . If you really miss your granddaughter, Mingzhu , being clever and sensible , why not let her come to the palace to keep you company? Yes, Grandmother , Mingzhu is indeed well-behaved, but she’s not my biological daughter after all . Also , you ‘re bad at judging people, so you don’t need to come anymore. Damn it, Mother , you suspect me! It’s all this little girl ‘s fault! I never expected the Empress Dowager to bestow so many gifts! Mother, the gifts are secondary; the most important thing is that you’ll be a lucky star from now on , no longer a jinx! Hahahaha! Your Majesty , why are you here? Father has even won over the Empress Dowager! Isn’t that a lucky star? You little rascal, you ‘re so clever ! I was worried you’d be wronged! In my past life, my father doted on me and trusted me, but I was manipulated by Qin Mingzhu and made things difficult for him at every turn, ultimately leading to a rift between father and daughter. In this life, I will never give up my father. Father , you are the best in the world. Father , I am so happy to be your daughter. You always know how to make me happy. By the way, Heng’er, have you fallen behind in your studies? Heng’er, Heng’er has been practicing. Father, look, Your Majesty, I’m fine , I’m fine. If Heng’er weren’t a fool, then the position of Crown Prince … Oh well, now that he’s happy, that’s more important than anything else. Judging by the time, Master should be arriving in the capital by now. Useless thing , you can’t even do this simple thing right, how can you help me ascend to the throne? “Brother , you can’t blame me for this! How was I supposed to know they had the antidote ? Mother , is Consort Ruo really blessed? I ‘ve never believed in fortune or misfortune; I only believe that human will can overcome fate. But this incident has reminded me, Xiao’er. I suspect that when you were bitten by the scorpion last time, it wasn’t Consort Ruo who did it, but that girl Yong’an . Mother, Yong’an is just a child; she wouldn’t be so cunning, would she? But regardless, Mother, you must find a way to get Father to appoint me as Crown Prince as soon as possible ! Every month on the fifteenth , according to custom, the Emperor will come…” When we dine at Kunning Palace, I’ll find a way to get the Emperor to bestow a marriage gift upon you and the Marquis of Zhen’an . Yes , the Marquis of Zhen’an holds military power. With his support, I’m set on sitting in the Eastern Palace! No , no, no, Mother! Don’t save me ! Mother , Yong’an, what’s wrong ? Wake up! Yong’an, you had a nightmare ! Are you alright? Yong’an , are you alright? Yong’an, what’s wrong? Mother , I had a terrible dream. In the dream , I was adopted, but they all abandoned me. Don’t be afraid, dreams are always the opposite of reality. Mother will never leave you, sister. Don’t cry, brother will protect you for life . Ah, I’ve been reborn! I must help my mother secure her position in the harem and ensure the Empress’s scheming yields nothing. Yunluo, what are you doing bringing your mother here? It’s been a while since she’s seen Father Emperor. Doesn’t she miss him? Does the Emperor come to the Imperial Garden after dark? Mother, what kind of butterfly-attracting technique is this? Butterflies! Your Majesty , so many butterflies ! Let’s go see ! Heavens ! Consort Ruo has attracted a sky full of butterflies! My beloved consort, Your Majesty, I couldn’t sleep tonight , so I came here to dance. I didn’t mean to offend Your Majesty. Please forgive me , Your Majesty! My beloved consort , what crime have I committed by witnessing such a beautiful scene ? Ah, Your Majesty … I’m just afraid… The Empress will be spending the night alone in her chambers. Your Majesty ? Why is it you, Your Majesty? Your Majesty , Your Majesty ! The Emperor was captivated by Consort Ruo’s butterfly dance and went to Chang Le Palace! Outrageous ! How dare they try to steal my favor! I’ll teach them a lesson they won’t forget. Do they really think they can control the harem ? So many beautiful girls will surely love them. I see my second brother is having a really good time lately! Last time at the training ground, you caused me to be bitten by a scorpion, and now that woman, your mother, has caused my mother to be left alone in her chambers. Tell me, how should we settle this score? What are you going to do? My sister said I can’t play with you guys , but we want to play with you! Achoo! No, you’re blind! Why did you hit me ? No, big brother, I didn’t mean to! This idiot dodged! You’re asking for it! Hey, Hua Hua, third brother, why are you sitting on the ground? Let me help you up! I don’t believe this nonsense! Big brother hit someone! This idiot! Yong’an said, “You two bullied Heng’er! Father is injured!” It was clearly us two who were hit! It was that idiot who hit us ! We didn’t! My brother is the kindest! It must have been you who hit him! Brother , Father! Yong’an is so scared! With Father here, I ‘m not afraid! I’m not afraid! You beast ! Heng’er! How old is he to say he injured your father? You haven’t seen his brute strength! Yes, Father, please investigate thoroughly! Father, don’t you trust Yong’an at all? No, no, no, Father trusts Yong’an the most! Father , aren’t you being too biased? Yes, Yong’an just returned from outside the palace, and Heng’er just left the Cold Palace. So what if I’m biased, Your Majesty ? Princess Yong’an has committed treason, and you’re still showing bias? I don’t know what wrong Yong’an has committed that made the Empress say I’m treasonous. Princess Yong’an secretly took the treasures bestowed upon her by Your Majesty and consigned them for sale, which is tantamount to treason. I beg Your Majesty to investigate Mingzhu thoroughly. ” Open the box ! Father , Yong’an, my sister consigned this mermaid pearl to Wanbaolou for ten million gold coins. Now everyone in the capital knows that this was indeed a gift from me to Yong’an . Father, that was indeed what I arranged to sell! You dare to admit it ? You’re courting death! Father, I’m not greedy. I just heard from the imperial physician that only a divine physician can cure my brother’s illness, and I also heard that the divine physician is looking for a mermaid pearl. That’s why I had it consigned to attract the divine physician to treat my brother. This is all your side of the story. I’ve never heard of any divine physician looking for a mermaid pearl. Even if Father issued an order, they still couldn’t find one.” You so easily attracted Father Emperor and Sister Yong’an; this is a crime of deceiving the Emperor! You should be sent to a temple for fasting and reflection. It seems Consort Ruo has raised Yong’an to be greedy and mean-spirited. I hope Your Majesty will punish him. Good news, Your Majesty! The Divine Physician of Medicine King Valley has arrived in the capital! This servant truly heard it! The Divine Physician of Medicine King Valley has come because of the Mermaid Pearl at Wanbao Pavilion. This servant has already sent someone to invite him. He should arrive at the palace soon to cure the Second Prince ‘s mental retardation. Heng’er is saved! Father Emperor, your son has been audacious! Shall I be punished? If you must punish me , then punish me! Reward me with ten thousand taels of gold! Thank you, Father Emperor! Your Majesty, that’s best! Enough, Your Majesty ! “Those who ruin my good mood, leave! Your Majesty, I take my leave!” (I was shocked! ) ” Mother, what should we do ? Even if that fool finds the divine physician, what then? Whether he can cure me is still uncertain!” ( A message came from outside the palace: the divine physician from Medicine King Valley will arrive tomorrow!) “Mother, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Before the princess appeared, I was trapped in the cold palace , and Heng’er would never regain his senses. After meeting the princess, I became a lucky star, and Heng’er was able to pay homage to the valiant general. I think all of this must be because I did too many good deeds in my past life, which is why I was able to meet the princess in this life. This bow is what I owe the princess. Mother, it must be what I owed in my past life…” I’m here to repay your kindness in this life , and in the next life I will continue to protect my sister. Silly brother, wake up! It ‘s almost noon, why hasn’t the divine physician arrived yet? What’s the rush? Wait a little longer! We absolutely cannot let Consort Ruo get there first ! Mingzhu, Medicine King Valley’s influence extends throughout the Six Dynasties. Princes from other countries are vying to become Medicine King’s apprentices. If you can win Medicine King’s favor, then that child Qin Ziheng will never be able to wake up. Mother , rest assured , Mingzhu will definitely make Medicine King like you . Your Majesty , I believe Mingzhu can do it ! Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask how to get to the Hall of Diligent Governance? What a stinky beggar’s bow! They’ve even managed to beg at the Imperial Palace! “Empress Dowager, be careful! This man looks like he has a terrible disease. Get out of here ! How dare you speak like that? Old man, although I’m dirty , I’m perfectly healthy! Here’s your money, get out of here! Don’t delay our meeting with the Medicine King! You want to see the Medicine King ? Well, that’s perfect timing! You don’t mean to say you’re the Medicine King, do you? Hahaha, that’s for sure! The Emperor even sent someone to deliver my palace token! You’re really shameless! A stinking beggar dares to impersonate the Medicine King! Guards , drag him out and behead him! Let go! I ‘m a gentleman who uses words , not fists! Stop! Insolence! Father, this horse is begging for food! Third brother was afraid of delaying the welcoming of the Medicine King!” “I just ordered them to leave… Oh dear, I made a mistake, Father. So you mean this stinking Qiqiao has defiled my royal territory and should be executed by slow slicing ? What? Execute by slow slicing? If I can’t afford to offend them , can’t I at least avoid them? Old man, I’m leaving. Divine Physician, please wait ! Divine Physician , that’s right , this is the renowned Divine Physician King. I’ve long heard of your great name. My son was unruly just now , and I apologize on their behalf. It’s alright , it’s alright. Like father, like son. Your Majesty, I’ve come for the Mermaid Pearl. The Mermaid Pearl is in Princess Yong’an’s possession. I heard Princess Yong’an returned to the palace not long ago. Congratulations! It’s just a pity my disciple ran away, otherwise I could have brought her into the palace to open her eyes. ” “Please , Your Highness , Your Little Apprentice Has Run Away! Do You Still Want to Take Another Apprentice?” Mingzhu has loved medicine since childhood and wants to help the world. “My first rule for taking an apprentice is that you must be polite . Princess, please forget it. If it weren’t for Mother insisting I come, I wouldn’t even look at you, you poor old man!” ” Your Highness, it’s all Mingzhu’s fault for being blind and not recognizing you. Princess , you look so aggrieved, as if I’m the one bullying you. Your Highness, my sister Mingzhu just really wants to learn medicine. Please take her in. My little apprentice will definitely object if she finds out I’m taking another apprentice. Didn’t you say your little apprentice ran away?” Besides , since your little apprentice doesn’t know how to respect his teacher, why not take on another apprentice? Look, she’s here! Master, Master, Master, I miss you so much! Yong’an, what do you call him ? Father, you don’t know, the Medicine King is my master. No wonder you insisted on leaving the valley , you wanted to go home and be a princess! Master, I just reunited with Father and Mother. I wanted to bring you back to Dongxia, but you always seem to be missing. Hahahaha! My Yong’an is actually the disciple of the Divine Physician! How could you be the Divine Physician’s apprentice ? Why can’t I be the Divine Physician’s apprentice ? If it weren’t for Master , I would have starved to death long ago . In my past life, to help the Empress… I betrayed my sect. My master was devastated upon learning of my death. In this life, I will turn the tide. You are a disciple of the divine physician, and your simple treatments are worth thousands. Why do you say you are starving and cold? You are clearly deceiving the emperor. Father , our sect has a rule that after the age of six, one must be self-reliant. But the patients, seeing that I am too young , refused to let me treat them, which is why I have fallen into a state of hunger and cold. I have never lied to my father. My Yong’an has suffered greatly at such a young age. From now on, I will never let you suffer even the slightest grievance. Master, look how good I am to you. Come with me to see my brother. Okay, okay, let’s go. ” How strange! This isn’t just mental illness , it’s poisoning ! Isn’t Heng’er born mentally challenged? This poison has already flared up several times , but it’s been suppressed. Master, look , this is the blood I collected when I was giving my brother acupuncture. I noticed before that the poison in my brother’s body was unusual, and after trying it, I realized it was the legendary Gu poison. Gu poison ! Is there any hope for my Heng’er? The one who used this Gu poison is truly wicked. This Gu worm is called Tianying, and it’s usually used on women. The person who uses this Gu poison will die suddenly soon after. But I don’t know why the Gu worm entered the Second Prince’s body. In other words, this Gu poison was originally given to me. I’ve harmed Heng’er. I’ve harmed Heng’er. Consort Ruo, don’t worry, I will definitely explain this to you. Li Dequan has ordered people to thoroughly investigate Consort Ruo’s life before and after childbirth. It’s better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. It’s such a troublesome matter!” “Doctors will stop at nothing to heal Heng’er! Your Majesty, rest assured, elder brother , please stop loitering around here. No wonder I’ve been feeling that the fool has become smarter lately . It turns out Yong’an is the apprentice of that divine physician , and he’s been treating him all along. Sister, you’re so skilled, yet you insist on hiding your identity. You’re clearly doing this on purpose, wanting to see us make a fool of ourselves. Your Majesty, how’s your investigation going? The people at Chang Le Palace are all tight-lipped. This servant went to great lengths to find out that the divine physician said the Second Prince was poisoned by Gu . Your Majesty is sending people to thoroughly investigate what happened back then. It seems this divine physician is indeed not just a name . Mother , what if that fool is really cured? Even if he is cured , he’s just a fool who has just woken up. Hoo, I absolutely will not allow anyone to shake your position as Crown Prince. Grandpa Medicine King , Mingzhu was impetuous last time. I’ve come to apologize to you this time. Medicine King Valley’s influence is all over the world. You should know that even if you cure a fool , it’s not a blessing for the country.” In comparison, my eldest prince is outstanding and is the only choice for crown prince in the eyes of many court officials. Does the Empress mean to prevent me from curing the second prince? I never said such a thing. However , the second prince is my disciple’s brother; at least this much. Just like Qin Yunluo, that little girl, he ‘s greedy for money . Here, take this; it’s a reward from the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty , the treatment fee you’ve given is enough to buy several good ginseng roots. Don’t worry, no matter how difficult the second prince is to cure, I will definitely do my best. Perhaps today the second prince will be lively and energetic again. Oh, you ! You dare to tease me! Your Majesty , you are too kind! I’ll go tell my father later and let him reward you. What are you doing here? My master and I are digging for medicinal herbs. Alright, you can leave now. Oh, Master, Your Majesty… Mother gave you so much money, everyone gets a share! My dear disciple, it wasn’t easy for your master to travel all the way to Dongxia Kingdom. Consider this your travel expenses, okay? Don’t even think about robbing me, you stingy little master! Wait, I’m all better now. Brother, how are you feeling ? I feel like I’ve never been so clear-headed before . Alright , let me test you. There are ten birds in the tree. Shoot one down with your bow and arrow. How many are left? Father, you’re joking. The rest of the birds in the tree were probably scared away by my arrows long ago. My Heng’er, you ‘re really all better this time. You’ve suffered so much over the years . Brother’s poisoning was deep. Now, even with the combined efforts of Master and me, we can only keep him awake for one hour a day. Later, with the treatment, the time he’s awake will become longer and longer. One hour is fine, sister, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid… I’m afraid I’ll be a fool until I die. I’ll charge you a fee, though. As long as I have it, even my life is yours, you silly brother. What would I do with your life? I want you to protect me forever. It’s a deal. Hmm, a few days from now , Heng’er. You can only be conscious for two hours now. The divine doctor said you need to rest more. Mother, I’m already more than ten years behind others. The sea of learning is boundless , I must study hard . But I can’t neglect my meals. If I say you didn’t eat breakfast, that’s not good. Mother , I heard the floods in the south are getting worse and the number of refugees in the capital is increasing. Why don’t you ask Grandfather to store more food? In my previous life, the eldest prince was trusted and promoted by the emperor for his meritorious service in disaster relief . In this life, we can’t let him steal the limelight. Yong’an is really kind. But these years, Father hasn’t been favored by the emperor. I’m afraid there’s not much money left in the family. “I haven’t even used the treasures my father gave me in his private treasury. You ‘ve taken them all for my maternal grandfather’s disaster relief and grain storage. The Emperor’s reward was a huge sum of money. You’re willing to part with it? I also hope that the people can live in peace and prosperity. As the ancients said, universal love is benevolence , and acting appropriately is righteousness. A gentleman’s thoughts don’t stray from his position. I really wish I could immediately share my father’s burdens. Well said, Your Majesty, you may rise. I never expected Heng’er and Yong’an to have such broad-mindedness and ambition. They are truly my good children. A true man is born between heaven and earth and must give back to heaven and earth. The people should also do the same. I underestimated Heng’er and Yong’an before. With you two, it is a blessing for the people of Dongxia. Ah, the rain has finally stopped. Miss Zhou, hurry up, the First Prince is waiting for you. Isn’t this the unfavored illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong’s mansion? In my previous life, she was the First Prince. He caused me no shortage of trouble.” What?! You actually want me to seduce that idiot ?! Just bear with it for my sake ! Let that idiot be disgraced at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. What good will that do me? He ‘ll lose his reputation! You’re so greedy! Once I become the Crown Prince, you’ll be the Crown Princess! Fine, then I’ll help you! This time, my eldest brother is really desperate. He ‘s even resorting to such despicable methods! Master, why are you here? Children shouldn’t see this. Let your master see! I think you’re just an old lecher! Hurry up and leave, don’t let them see you! Slow down! Consort Ruo, along with Princess Yong’an and the Second Prince , present a jade Buddha as a birthday gift . I know the Empress Dowager likes Buddhas , so I, along with Yong’an and Heng’er, carved this for her. May the Empress Dowager enjoy eternal youth and the radiance of the sun and moon. May the grandchildren enjoy eternal youth and the radiance of the sun and moon for their Empress Dowager . You are so kind ! Heng’er’s illness is getting better. Thanks to the Empress Dowager’s good fortune, the divine physician says he will recover in less than a month. Good! Heng’er will surely be a pillar of our Eastern Xia in the future. Come on , take your seats ! Laugh! Soon you won’t be laughing anymore. Second brother , I wish you a speedy recovery. Come, second brother, I have offended you before. Today , let’s get drunk and forget about it. Thank you for your kindness, princes , but Heng’er really can’t hold his liquor. Alas, today is the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. Consort Ruo , please don’t spoil the fun. It is the Empress Dowager . Don’t worry, if your brother gets drunk, I’m here. Why are you in such a hurry to get him drunk? It seems my brother is about to make his move. Then don’t blame me for being ruthless. How disgusting! Finally , this idiot has been found! I’ve been waiting here for so long, Your Highness! This humble woman is about to sacrifice her reputation, so please do n’t let her down! Don’t worry, I absolutely wo n’t. Before this idiot wakes up , we must solidify his guilt! Your Highness, please don’t ! What if this idiot wakes up ? Don’t you think that’s more exciting? Later, after the banquet, Mother will come with Father to arrest him. When that happens, you must act like a proper lady. This humble woman understands? It’s just fooling an idiot, Mother . The prince was drunk and was helped away by the servants, and hasn’t returned yet. Why don’t we go and see him? Very well, Mother . I’ll take you out for some fresh air. After tonight, the Second Prince will be a laughingstock forever. Your Highness, please slow down . I can’t take it! Why is there a woman’s voice here? The side hall is where the royal family rests. Are there guards and palace maids having an affair? Father, my second brother hasn’t returned yet. Is he being presumptuous? Tonight is the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. How dare they do such filthy things here? Go, break down the door for me! Father, I’m good at this . I’ll do it. I’m leaving . Your Highness , it’s still a long time before the banquet ends. Don’t make a fuss. Later, you and that idiot will act a little more real. Where is he? Where did he go ? Oh no, second brother! Second brother, today is the Empress Dowager’s birthday. How dare you fool around with Miss Zhou here! Father… Empress Dowager, what are you looking at? What are you doing here? Your Majesty, my brother isn’t here , so where should he be? This bed is … Father Emperor! Father Emperor, please forgive me , Xiao’er! Big Brother, how… how could it be you? Why is this happening? You wretched child ! I’ve taught you manners and shame, but you’ve learned nothing! Today, at the Empress Dowager’s banquet, you’re having a secret rendezvous with a lowly concubine’s daughter! Put your clothes on, don’t offend Yong’an’s eyes! Big Brother, so you like Sister Zhou? But you haven’t chosen a proper wife yet, this is a bit absurd! Oh , it just so happens that Father Emperor and Empress Dowager are here today, why don’t they grant you a marriage ? Your Majesty , Xiao’er, Xiao’er has always been virtuous and must never do such a rebellious thing! You lowly servant, you seduced the First Prince ! Quickly confess honestly! Your Majesty, spare my life! It was indeed the Second Prince who invited me to the side hall! I don’t know how it became the First Prince! Father Emperor, I just heard a noise in the side hall and came to check, but I was knocked unconscious by someone! It must be Qin Ziheng! He pretended to be stupid and framed my First Prince ! Even if you… Even if you want to exonerate him, you can’t frame Heng’er. Although Heng’er has improved over the years , he’s only lucid during the day. How could he possibly bully Miss Zhou at night and frame you at the same time? It’s impossible! As long as someone covers for him, it’s fine . The people closest to my brother are me and my mother . Do you mean that my mother and I schemed against my eldest brother ? My two brothers , you ‘ve really lost all shame to frame my brother ! Grandmother , I pity my brother, he’s so foolish, and he’s been framed, yet he can’t even prove himself! No, no, it’s not like that. The one who had physical intimacy with me was indeed the Second Prince. Second Prince, didn’t you say you would marry me? Have you mistaken me for someone else? I don’t know who you are! Second Prince, I’m devoted to you, but you’ve turned your back on me so heartlessly. If that’s the case, then I no longer need to hide for you. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, please look, this is the evidence the Second Prince left by my bedside when he was lucid. I never thought the prince’s underpants would be next to Miss Zhou. Consort Ruo, Consort Ruo, you usually… Is this how you teach your son? Wait, it’s just a pair of undergarments, how can that prove it’s my brother’s ? Why? Because my second brother used to be an idiot , and all his personal belongings are embroidered with his name. Don’t believe me? Look at the writing on his pants! Impossible! When did he change his undergarments ? Has he been pretending to be an idiot all this time? You can’t believe it, can you? Master already helped change the evidence. A mere concubine’s daughter dares to turn around and accuse a prince! I think you deliberately seduced the eldest prince and then framed the second prince! You truly deserve to die! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I am innocent! This evidence! This evidence! It must be the Second Prince’s men who have replaced me. I have other evidence. I am pregnant with the Second Prince’s child. Your Majesty, please investigate! What? You still won’t give up? Miss Zhou, don’t talk nonsense! Heng’er doesn’t even know you. How could he have conceived a child with you? Consort Ruo, everything I said is true. If you don’t believe me, let the divine physician examine me. Someone, please summon the divine physician ! Your Majesty, this woman is indeed more than two months pregnant . The timing is exactly two months. On the day the divine physician examined the Second Prince, could it be that the Second Prince harmed Miss Zhou after waking up ? Your Majesty, Empress Dowager … A woman would use her innocence and child to frame someone else . Although I am of low status , I still have my pride. I beg Your Majesty to grant me justice. Father, I am truly wronged. You think you can take advantage of my brother’s stupidity and inability to defend himself? Then I will thwart your schemes. Father, since Miss Zhou insists the child is my brother’s , why not let them confront each other ? My second brother is a fool, how can he confront you? Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it would be better to let Miss Zhou give birth to the child in her womb and then have a blood test to confirm kinship with the Second Prince. After all , by then the Second Prince’s reputation will be completely ruined . Proving innocence is nothing but a useless person. A perfectly good birthday banquet has been ruined like this. Well then , Grandmother , it doesn’t need to be so complicated. Master , good 9, may your soul return! His eyes… Where am I? Is he truly awake? Brother, this sister says she’s pregnant with your child , and that you invited her here today for an affair. Don’t listen to her nonsense! I don’t even know who she is! You say we’ve had physical intimacy? I have a red mole on my chest. If you can clearly tell me whether it’s on the left or right side, I’ll believe it’s my fault. Why aren’t you saying anything? And you still dare to… in front of Father? “You insist the child is your brother’s? That’s a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor! I’ve seen a red mole on my Second Prince’s left breast. Are you sure? Yes, I’m sure! Hmph, you’re lying! Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, there’s no red mole on Heng’er’s chest at all! This vile servant is clearly slandering me! How dare you! Do you know what the punishment is for implicating a member of the imperial family? If I remember correctly, it should be the execution of the entire family! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong ! It was the First Prince ! He forced me to do this! The child in my womb is also the First Prince’s! You beast ! You bully men and women , and you’re framing your own brother! How could I possibly give birth to him?” You unfilial son! Your Majesty, I am innocent! You vile woman, you fail to frame my second brother, so you turn around and frame me! I am framing you! Two months ago, you took advantage of me while I was drunk and seduced me. Now that you know I am pregnant, you still want to use this to frame the Second Prince, even saying that you would grant me the position of concubine after the deed is done. Have you forgotten all of this? Your Majesty, Xiao’er is a prince, what woman can’t he have? This is simply impossible. Perhaps he has been bewitched. I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly. It won’t be so easy to suppress this matter. Your Majesty and Empress are right. It would be better to wait until she gives birth to the child. After the blood test, it will be clear who is lying . If you try to use this trick against my brother, then you’ll have to taste the consequences! Absolutely not! Your Majesty , this woman is causing chaos in the harem and bewitching the princes. Drag her out and beat her to death! Your Majesty , my concubine is truly carrying the eldest prince’s child. Father, today is the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet ; bloodshed is inauspicious, especially since the child in this woman’s womb is a small life. Even for the sake of the Empress Dowager ‘s good fortune , it is not appropriate to kill. This vile woman is sowing discord and slandering the prince , and you actually plead for him! What are your true intentions? My brother is doing this for the sake of the royal family’s good fortune. Considering the Empress’s haste in silencing him, it’s possible that the eldest prince truly has something going on with her. Who taught you to speak to me like that? If I can prove my son’s innocence today , I will never let you off the hook. Your Majesty , your mother , wake up! If anything happens to my mother, I will fight you to the death at Kunning Palace! Congratulations, Your Majesty ! Consort Ruo is pregnant! Good, good, good! Consort Ruo’s pregnancy is a great joy! The Empress is immoral and has failed in raising her son ; she almost injured her with anger. Consort Ruo and the imperial heir are confined to Kunning Palace. The Phoenix Seal has been revoked, and the power of the six palaces has been stripped away. As for you two, we will make a decision after you give birth in eight months. Take care of yourselves ! Your Majesty , what’s wrong with me? My beloved consort , you are pregnant! “I’ve been pregnant for over two months now . I was so confused , I didn’t even know I was pregnant , my beloved. You don’t need to be so impulsive like today . Once you’re feeling better , I’ll promote you and put you in charge of the six palaces. Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. Mother , let my brother do these things. Alright, I’ll do it. Mother, it’s just pregnancy , not that you ‘ve lost your limbs. You’re all being too cautious. It’s not that I’m not pregnant. Those servants mistreated you before, and now that you ‘re finally pregnant, you must take good care of yourself. Before, when I was foolish, Mother protected me. Now that I’m sober, I will never let Mother suffer the slightest grievance. I think you two are just too idle.” All you ever do is stare at me. I’ll have to have a serious talk with His Majesty about sending you two to the Imperial Academy. Yes, many princes and heirs are studying there. His Majesty mentioned it to me twice, but I was worried you wouldn’t be able to keep up. I was still considering it , Mother. Don’t worry about it, Your Majesty. If I want to go, then I’ll go with my brother. I can teach him those policy essays. This is a rare opportunity. You must study hard and not be lazy or sleep in class. You must not talk back to the teachers, understand? Mother, don’t worry. I’ve already fallen behind a lot , but I will humbly learn. We will definitely work hard to make you proud. Mingzhu, I’m so angry! Her Majesty the Empress’s confinement is only temporary. Look, I specially brought you chestnut cake. I also brought some pastries. Eat mine first. I heard from the teacher that two new students are coming today . It turns out to be Sister Yong’an and Second Brother! They’ve caused Mother’s confinement and my eldest brother’s loss of favor . I must seek justice for them! I heard Princess Yong’an has lived outside for six years. Even after returning to the palace, she still exudes an air of poverty. Prince Xue, please don’t say that . My sister has been living away from home, and my second brother has just recovered from his mental illness. They are already very pitiful. I hope everyone will be more tolerant of them for my sake. Mingzhu, please let go. We will be tolerant of them . Brother is a dead rat, Yong’an, don’t be afraid, it’s alright. Princess Yong’an, a country girl, I never expected you to be afraid of dead rats! Princess Yong’an, do you like this gift? This dead rat is quite cute , it looks a lot like Princess Yong’an! You idiot, are you sick? Laugh! Why don’t you keep laughing? Qin Ziheng, don’t think that just because you’re the Second Prince I won’t dare do anything to you . To put it bluntly, you’re just a cold palace concubine, born an unloved idiot. This Emperor is only giving you a second glance because he ‘s in a good mood. Once the First Prince is firmly established in the Eastern Palace , you’ll be nothing ! Even a fool like you dares to oppose me. It seems you’ve truly forgotten the time you knelt at my feet, begging me to save your dog’s life. So, it turns out your brother was bullied by him before? Lower your head, little brat. Why should I listen to you, little brat? So what? This slap can still land you in the face . You dare hit me?! That slap just now showed your extreme arrogance—inciting trouble and daring to bully my brother! This second slap… well , it’s for throwing dead rats at me! Absolutely outrageous! I’m going to teach you a lesson today! Do you really think you can act with impunity just because the Emperor favors you ? Humiliation is one thing, but humiliation is another . My sister is asking for death! This idiot’s strength has increased again! I, the princess, came to the Imperial Academy to learn. Peaceful coexistence is fine, but if anyone thinks we are weak and easily bullied because we have no power or influence , then I, the princess, will make you regret it! Princess , who are you making regret it for? Greetings, teacher! You two are newcomers, yet instead of humbly seeking knowledge, you bully your classmates. Is this the way of life His Majesty taught you ? If His Majesty hadn’t sent you here, you wouldn’t even be qualified to attend my class. Alright, sit down now! Today we will study … Chapter 10, Arithmetic: “The Field Problem” Now there is a field 15 steps wide and 16 steps long. How much is the field ? This problem is quite profound. Who among you will try ? Master, Second Prince, you are most skilled in arithmetic. You will surely solve this problem too . Hmph, Princess Mingzhu, you overestimate him. He’s just woken up, a fool. He probably can’t even understand the question. Master, the field in this problem is 15 steps wide and 16 steps long. The total width of the field is 240 square steps, approximately one acre. He actually answered it so quickly! You truly are a genius ! A genius! My brother has been studying extremely hard since he woke up, day and night. Do you really think he’s an unlearned fool? “Fool! Second Brother has only just regained consciousness and already achieved so much . Sister Yong’an must be even more talented. Why do n’t we show off our talents today ? Let’s all write an essay on the theme ‘If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.’ The time limit is three incense sticks’ worth of writing time . It’s been so long and you still haven’t started writing. It seems you can’t finish. Indeed, I am the unparalleled princess of Dongxia Kingdom! Master , I’ve finished! What? You finished so quickly? How could that be? Sister Yong’an , don’t lie to me! We’ve only just begun! Master, how is this essay? It ‘s profound and insightful, a perfect blend of knowledge and action. Such a young age to write such an essay!” If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes , I would have thought it was written by a great Confucian scholar. Impossible! She’s just an uneducated, uncultured country girl. This is impossible! How could a child of a few years old be better than us? Cheating! It’s cheating! Tell me quickly, where did this article come from? You say I copied someone else’s article? Then point out the source, and I’ll apologize immediately! You, teacher, what are you doing? They can’t say the source , but this article doesn’t prove it’s your work. A mere child couldn’t possibly write such a brilliant article. Rather than you becoming a fraud in the future, I’d rather destroy it now . So, scholarship should be judged by age. Yong’an, I’ve learned my lesson. I thought you were of high moral character and would be fair , but I didn’t expect you to be prejudiced. Now you can’t even acknowledge a student’s strengths. Let’s not continue this course. Sister, let’s go. Brother , do you also think I cheated? How could that be? You’re a disciple of the Divine Physician. Brother knows that if it weren’t for accompanying me, you wouldn’t bother coming here. In my past life, I poured my heart and soul into my work , but everyone only liked the fake Gongsheng and hated me. In this life, I only showed a little kindness, yet brother believes me so much. Sister , don’t be sad . It’s those people who are turning black into white. Tomorrow we’ll go to Father and reason with him. Brother, you actually dared to tattle! That’s called striking first! You mean Princess Yong’an cheated in front of everyone at the academy? That’s right. Princess Yong’an disrespects her teachers and copied some masterpiece from somewhere. Taking advantage of our ignorance of the author’s identity , she impersonated him . This is truly a disgrace to her character. Is this true, Your Majesty? Every word the teacher said is true. Mingzhu and the others were merely questioning Yong’an’s intelligence and suspecting her of cheating . She and the Second Prince then scolded everyone in the hall and embarrassed the teacher . Your Majesty, Princess Yong’an has always been clever and sensible. There must be more to this story. The story is that Princess Yong’an is ignorant and incompetent ! “Your virtue is corrupt , could it be that you want to side with Princess Yong’an? Father, I , your son, will vouch for Yong’an . She absolutely did not cheat. That article was written by her. Second brother, what kind of bewitching potion has Sister Yong’an given you? Even in front of Father, you are still covering for her. I, the prince, have been with my sister day and night. Does she need an outsider like you to remind her of her character and talent ? Father, to be honest, Yong’an often produces some exquisite articles. Even the tutor cannot match her. It’s ridiculous! Your Majesty, there is a limit to your lies. She is not even ten years old. How could she be better than the tutor? Yong’an is my daughter. ” This is my empire, she can do whatever she wants. It’s just copying someone else’s work, right? I’ll buy that article, and that’ll be enough. Father, I know you care about me, but I really didn’t cheat. If you don’t believe me, you can test me. If I can’t answer, I’m willing to accept punishment . This matter of Yong’an’s studies can’t be rushed, Father. The more you favor me, the less I want you to bear the reputation of favoritism. It seems Princess Yong’an is confident. Then, I dare to ask, since there’s been a recent flood in the south that destroyed three cities and left 30,000 refugees, what should be done about the princess? This is a difficult national policy issue . How will you handle this, Your Majesty? You’re testing Yong’an with a question that’s been giving all the court officials a headache lately . Aren’t you just making things difficult for her? If the princess can’t answer, it’s not too late to admit cheating. Who says I can’t answer? I’ve already written down the solution ; I just haven’t had a chance to show it to Father. Oh, what is it? Brother, can you read it to me? Hmm, floods are the most serious problem . First, we’ll send troops to divert water. Then, we’ll use work-for-relief programs, conscripting able-bodied men to repair river embankments, with wages paid daily. Second, we’ll open granaries in nearby cities and transport millet south. To prevent epidemics, we’ll burn miasma medicine and boil alum water. Floods are mostly caused by epidemics. Fourth, we’ll resettle the disaster victims and relocate them to the border areas, exempting them from taxes for ten years. This will not only properly resettle the displaced people but also solve the Yellow River flood problem at its root —a win-win situation ! Excellent! Brilliant! Disaster relief and dike repair —a double win! What should we do now, Your Majesty? Princess Yong’an, you are truly amazing! This old man has been blind to your abilities. Judging by my age, I beg Your Majesty’s magnanimity. What Your Majesty says is well said. The Yellow River dikes are raised every year, yet the floods still occur every year—it’s all in vain! Who says it’s in vain? Father, Second Brother, I have something else to present to you. Oh, what is it? Such a complete water management map! This is the first time I’ve ever seen one! My beloved generals, come and see! Managing water is like managing an army. Instead of blocking, dredging is better. As shown in the map, it can… The Yellow River is divided into three: the inner river irrigates, the outer river discharges floodwaters , and the bends allow silt to drift out of the riverbed. Finally, the water is locked at the location shown in the diagram. This method is ingenious in times of drought and flood in times of flooding. The three effects of flood diversion , irrigation, and silt removal are combined perfectly! Second Prince, this method is truly ingenious ! This old minister is ashamed of his own inferiority! Second Prince, you are my son ! How wonderful that you possess such great talent so soon after waking up! Imperial decree: Princess Yong’an has contributed a good disaster relief strategy; she is hereby granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort . Prince Qin Ziheng has contributed a good water management strategy and made great contributions; he is hereby granted a residence in the capital and the title of Prince Su. From this day forward, he will participate in court affairs . Your son thanks Your Majesty! What incredible luck! It’s surprising that he was granted a title so early! In his previous life, the Third Prince was clearly enfeoffed as a king because of this flood control map, but he insisted on saying it was because of Qin Mingzhu’s prayers at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Let’s see when he can be enfeoffed as a king in this life without the flood control plan. Thanks to Princess Yong’an, Heng’er’s illness was cured, and she also proposed the flood control plan. Now, the court and the people are in favor. It seems that this little granddaughter is truly a lucky star for our Bai family. Yes, I have been burdened with the name of a jinx for many years and have not left the palace for a long time. This time, thanks to Yong’an and Heng’er, His Majesty specially granted me permission to return home to visit my family . Yes, I have wanted one for a long time . Yes, I have wanted a little granddaughter for a long time. Oh, I didn’t expect it to really come true. Yong’an , your maternal grandfather specially had a set of headdresses made for you. Do you like it? Wow, it’s so beautiful. Thank you, maternal grandfather . Yong’an, what good things haven’t you seen in the palace ? Yong’an, your grandmother doesn’t have much money left . We can only give you some restaurants, shops, fields, and estates . Ah, money makes money endlessly, that’s your confidence! Grandmother is so generous! Unlike your grandfather, who’s so stingy ! Don’t forget, if it weren’t for my discerning eye in bringing Yong’an to the Emperor, how could we have this family reunion today? Alright, alright, I’ve said that eight hundred times already. A hero doesn’t dwell on past glories. Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat! I’ve been too busy talking. Everyone, start eating ! Yong’an, eat more today and try it . Grandmother’s cooking is the best. Too much hospitality from relatives isn’t always a good thing. My sister is incredibly clever. So, there are times when she can’t handle things. In my past life, my mother was weak, and the Bai family was framed and ultimately executed . In this life, I must stop it. By the way, Grandfather, do you know of a distant relative named Bai Man ? How did you know that this child is extremely intelligent? I originally planned to entrust the disaster relief work to him. How did you find out? I overheard him once. The Empress said that Bai Man had said he would bring utter destruction to the Bai family, leaving them without a complete corpse. Father and Mother ‘s words of eternal peace have never been wrong; you must be very careful. Mother is right. The Empress has long held a grudge against Mother and is wholeheartedly supporting the First Prince. Now that I have regained my senses, the Empress will likely be even more wary of us. This matter could be serious or minor. It seems I must investigate this Bai Man thoroughly . You all trust me so much , shouldn’t I ask a few more questions? Silly child, you are our family. How can we doubt our own family? It’s wonderful! Having lived two lives, I finally have a true family. Today, our family is reunited. Let’s not talk about those messy things. Yes, eat more! That’s enough! Grandfather and Grandmother, we really can’t hold any more! For colds , drink this medicine for three days and avoid alcohol. Here you go, thank you, thank you. Next person , you have insomnia and vivid dreams. Drink this medicine for seven days. Little Nobleman, you are truly amazing! I didn’t even mention any symptoms, and you were right about everything. Next, take this. Yong’an , though young , has the world in his heart. Heng’er also has a sincere heart, truly rare and precious. This is all Your Majesty’s blessing. A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Now, my princes are gradually growing up. In your opinion, which prince should I establish as the Crown Prince? Oh, Your Majesty, such an important matter, this old servant dares not speak rashly. They are all a bunch of useless fools . Now, the Empress Dowager is confined, while the Bai family is favored by the Emperor. Even Qin Ziheng, that fool, can be made a king. If this continues , how can I have a place in the Eastern Palace ? Elder brother, isn’t this just disaster relief? We can also distribute porridge to win the hearts of the people. Without the tribute from the Imperial Household Department , where will the money come from? Elder brother, those ministers in the court are all rolling in money. We can use their weaknesses to ask them for money. Yes, the ministers are all shrewd , afraid of leaving a stain. As long as I, the prince, have their weaknesses , I am not afraid that they will not give me money. This plan is brilliant . Father, do you know that I am doing disaster relief? You should praise me, the eldest prince . You will know when you go in. Father Your Majesty , you must do justice for this humble subject! This humble subject merely keeps a concubine, yet the Crown Prince uses this to blackmail me, demanding ten thousand taels of silver ! A few days ago, I was overcome with lust and went to the Drunken Red Chamber, but I truly did nothing wrong! Now the Crown Prince is also forcing me to demand eight thousand taels , or he will tell my wife! This is going to ruin my family! Yes, yes, what about this humble subject? Your Majesty , you must save this humble subject! How dare you, Qin Xiao, a prince of such stature ! Do I lack food, drink , or silver from you? How dare you extort a courtier like this? This humble subject is innocent! Father, this humble subject borrowed money from you gentlemen to raise funds for disaster relief ! Is this a borrowing? You are clearly extorting money from your ministers! Extortion! You ‘re clearly causing unrest in my family! Father, I know I was wrong, please forgive me just this once! Disaster relief is important , but your actions that shake the foundations of the court are equally foolish. I give you one day to personally return the silver. You clearly started from a much higher position than Heng’er, yet you’ve done worse than Heng’er in every way . If I were to entrust Dongxia to you , how could I feel at ease? My elder brother’s disaster relief went so smoothly, Father will surely praise him. Sister, it’s all thanks to you. Mother has confined you to your quarters. As long as I can help my brother, Mingzhu is already very happy. Elder brother, you’ve gone mad! I’ve gone mad! Do you know that because of this good-for-nothing, Father gave me a severe scolding? No, how could this be? Didn’t Father praise you? He praised me! All the court officials impeached me for extortion in front of Father . Father is utterly disappointed in me. I’m already grateful he didn’t demote me. Now all my efforts have been wasted. Are you satisfied? How could this be ? Even so , Mingzhu meant well by giving you advice. You messed it up yourself. How can you blame her? Get out! She doesn’t deserve to be my sister. Since Yong’an came along, even that idiot Qin Ziheng has become smart. Ever since she came along, everything has gone wrong for me. Brother, you’ve gone too far ! Mingzhu, Mingzhu was already heartbroken because of that wild girl. You deliberately hurt her feelings. If you like Yong’an, go to her yourself . I only want Mingzhu, my sister . Okay, okay, Mingzhu, don’t cry. Third brother knows. It must be something Yong’an said that made Father blame you. Don’t be afraid, third brother will always support you. Don’t cry, third brother. Mingzhu didn’t mean it. I just wanted to help you. Okay, I know. Don’t cry anymore, okay ? Three of you, Yong’an’s medical skills are superb , you can be called the Hua Tuo of our time! The disaster victims gave you so many beautiful sacred stones, sister, you are amazing! That Bai Man is really a good spy, we found evidence! Grandfather’s efficiency is indeed good. Grandfather’s interrogation revealed that Bai Man was bribed by the Empress and Prince Chen. Fortunately, you reminded us, otherwise the disaster relief would have failed and the Bai family would have been executed. The Empress is so cruel. She slandered me as a jinx back then , and now she won’t even spare my maternal clan. The Empress is wholeheartedly supporting the eldest prince as the crown prince. Now that brother is awake, he is of course a thorn in her side. Brother and Mother, if we don’t fight and compete, we will probably die . Well, now, even for your sake, I will fight. Although the Empress is currently under house arrest, Prince Chen, in conjunction with the royal family, is putting pressure on her and should be released soon. Prince Chen is Qin Mingzhu’s biological father. In his previous life, he manipulated the imperial examinations and sold official titles. Father has never been able to find any evidence against him. We must find a way to bring down Prince Chen and also cut off one of the Empress’s arms. Yong’an has been back for so long. ” You didn’t even come to see me ! Oh, Your Majesty, the little princess just came back from the refugee camp. Of course, she’s afraid of bringing bad luck to Your Majesty’s heart. She must be missing you terribly. Oh well , she’s your own daughter, so you can spoil her yourself. Father , Father , your son and brother have come to see you. Father, what’s wrong ? Oh, our poor Your Majesty! The little princess has been away from the palace for disaster relief for so many days , and Your Majesty has been thinking about her for just as many days . You can’t eat or sleep well, and you even wake up in the middle of the night asking your old servant if the Bai family has taken good care of the little princess. Is the little princess eating and sleeping well? Oh, it turns out Father misses his sister. Father, your son has missed you so much these past few days away from the palace. You haven’t even written me a letter, yet you say you miss me. Here, what is this? This is a gift from Yong’an to Father, representing your son’s longing for Father. You think you can just send me away with a stone? If you don’t want it, give it back. There’s no reason to return something you’ve given away ! Let me see if you ‘ve lost weight since you left the palace. Look at this article, it’s so well written. Hmm, is this the article of the new top scholar? Yong’an, take a look at how it is written.” “Ah, you’re quite capable, but in Yong’an’s heart, my brother is far more capable than him. How can I compare to the newly appointed top scholar? You little girl , how dare you look down on the new top scholar? Go and invite the new top scholar over so Yong’an can see for herself. It was the Prince Chen of the past who manipulated many incompetent people to replace the top scholar. I’ll start with you to restore justice and fairness to all the scholars in the world.” ” Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor ! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor ! Rise! Thank you, Your Majesty. Are you the new top scholar? Your writing is brilliant. In this article, you quoted the Analects: ‘ The superior man dwells in ease and strives for advancement; the inferior man takes risks to seek fortune. ‘ Is there any specific allusion to this? Your Majesty , I mean, don’t be content with the status quo and strive for progress. That’s not right, is it? Brother Yong’an, if I remember correctly, this sentence…” The words seem to come from the Book of Rites, The Doctrine of the Mean. Oh right, I forgot. Newly appointed top scholar, have you forgotten too? How come you don’t even know the source of your own writing? Your Majesty is angry with me, I’m just too nervous to see Your Majesty . Don’t be nervous, I have a couplet here, I’d like to ask the top scholar to help Yong’an think of it. Yong’an, why bother with such a simple question ? You’re too talented, don’t want it? I want it! Top scholar, you’re right! Did you hear that? Princess Yong’an wants to test you . Two orioles sing in the green willows, top scholar, please answer ! Oh, princess, princess , this is beneath you ! A group of children are pecking at cabbages, top scholar, your answer is wonderful! Two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo? Four or five iron pots in front of the stove … ” You dare call yourself the top scholar? Who helped you cheat? As expected of your father, a little guidance and you realize someone cheated in the imperial examination! Your Majesty, spare me! I never imagined the top scholar’s scholarship was so poor ! Father , I implore you to thoroughly investigate and give justice to all the scholars in the land. We cannot let the people lose heart! This matter is entrusted to you to investigate . You must get to the bottom of it !” “Have you all heard? The prince has been ordered to thoroughly investigate the matter of cheating in the imperial examination. Since ancient times, who hasn’t taken precautions for a few scholars ? The prince is not worth making a fuss about. But if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Second Prince, you have just entered the court and are already at odds with the ministers . It is unwise. ” “Yes, yes, the future crown prince of Dongxia must not be a fool.” I swear to serve the Crown Prince to the death. His Highness’s examination list is all here , but it’s mixed with papers from previous years, making it too chaotic. Furthermore, it seems the Crown Prince has given instructions that most court officials are not cooperating with our investigation into cheating. Finding the imposter among these numerous exam papers is like finding a needle in a haystack. Brother, come with me ! Where are we going? Don’t you want to know who Zhu Neng impersonated? I’ll take you to see him. The top scholar whose exam paper was stolen in my past life will commit suicide today. I barely managed to save him back then; later, he became the Crown Prince’s confidant. Sister , how do you know? Brother, don’t ask now , it’ll be too late if we wait any longer. I, Lin Jinqiu, have studied diligently for years, only to end up being impersonated with no recourse. Where does this decisive battle with Dongxia come from? “Wait , wait , wait! Scholar, don’t do anything foolish! Who are you? I am the Second Prince of the current dynasty , ordered to investigate a case of cheating in the imperial examinations. This humble citizen, Lin Jinqiu, greets the Second Prince . Rise! Are you willing to point out the real culprit and restore justice to the scholars of the land? This humble citizen is willing! But behind this case of cheating in the imperial examinations, there are powerful figures . I am the Eldest Princess of Dongxia, and my brother is the Second Prince. Behind us is our father, the Emperor. My brother will do everything in his power to ensure the integrity of the imperial examinations. As long as you are willing, he can guarantee your bright future. Thank you, Your Highness! This humble citizen swears to follow Your Highness to the death! Successfully subdued a great general! Greetings , Your Majesty! You say you were impersonated? Do you have any evidence ? This humble citizen can recite the top scholar’s essay on the spot ! Your Majesty, just compare it with the original, and you will know the talent . The gentry will be convinced! Indeed, it is in accordance with my…” The original manuscript I saw was exactly the same as the one I saw. It’s outrageous! Those scoundrels dared to do something that shakes the foundation of the nation. If one person is missing this year, how many will be missing next year ? If this continues, the court will be full of mediocre people . How can we govern the country ? I must investigate thoroughly. Third Brother, what should we do? Father participated in the imperial examination fraud . If Father investigates, Father will surely lose his life. Mingzhu, don’t cry. I have already arranged for someone to deal with Lin Jinqiu. As long as there is no evidence, Father will be unable to deal with the Imperial Uncle. Oh no! Your Highness, oh no! The Second Prince rescued Lin Jinqiu before us! What? Third Brother ? What if he identifies Father? I will go and silence him. I cannot let him implicate the Imperial Uncle. Princess, Princess, brother, drink! “Where is Shui Lin Jinqiu? Hand her over! Third brother, you knew this person all along? Why didn’t you tell Father? Could it be that the assassin who intercepted Young Master Lin was arranged by Third Brother ? So what? Who told him to block Prince Chen’s path ? Oh , so the real culprit in the imperial examination cheating case is Prince Chen! You killed a student for him ! How can you face the common people? He was just a poor student, who cares? Insolence ! Father ! Father, what are you doing here ? Do you want to commit patricide? Father, spare my life! I couldn’t bear to see my sister Mingzhu sad, so I came here . Yong’an is your real sister. What kind of sister is she? How dare you incite a prince to kill for her! Father, it has nothing to do with my sister Mingzhu. I helped Prince Chen willingly. At worst, I’ll return the title of top scholar to Lin Jinqiu. Father, you can punish Prince Chen!” “Mingzhu will be sad. Third Brother means that Lin Jinqiu’s injustice and the injustice of the students whose identities were stolen are not as important as Qin Mingzhu’s mood? She’s just a nobody , how can she be compared to Mingzhu ? You wretched child! Father Emperor, Mingzhu is innocent! Let Prince Chen go! So stubborn! How can you be worthy of being a prince of a country? Decree: Third Prince Qin Yunjin has committed treason and offense , and is hereby demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. Father Emperor , don’t you want your son anymore? Drag him out! You stupid fool who’s just asking for death! In my past life, I actually promoted him to be a prince! Heng’er, you and Bai Aiqing, arrest Prince Chen immediately! Your subject obeys the decree! The Crown Prince is enfeoffed as a prince in the Eastern Palace! I am a princess! Qin Yunluo is dead! Your Majesty the Empress! Your Majesty the Empress! Something terrible has happened! The Third Prince has been deposed by His Majesty! You maid , what nonsense are you spouting? The Third Prince participated in Prince Chen’s cheating in the imperial examination and even murdered a student. He was caught red-handed by His Majesty ! You are the Crown Prince ! You are a jinx! It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, how could Jin’er have done such a stupid thing?” She wouldn’t be reduced to a commoner. If it were Yong’an, she definitely wouldn’t back down, definitely wouldn’t back down. Jin’er, His Majesty has ordered the Second Prince to arrest Prince Chen. Soon, his entire family will be executed. Nanny, throw this little thing into Chang Le Palace and kill her too. Mother , Mother, don’t want me. I can save Third Brother and help Eldest Brother become Crown Prince. Do you think you are Yong’an? Drag him out! No, Mother, it’s true. I just had a dream and foresaw so many things. Father is about to break his leg, then the Crown Prince will be established, and the Crown Prince position will ultimately belong to Eldest Brother. Qin Yunluo will die. Consort Ruo will die . You will become Empress Dowager. How could the Emperor break his leg? Empress, it’s bad! The Emperor unfortunately broke his leg on his way back to the palace. The Empress Dowager has granted you permission to go and attend to him. She actually predicted it correctly. Mother, do you believe Mingzhu ? Mingzhu really can foresee many things. Mingzhu, just now, Mother was too anxious. Do n’t worry, you have already been adopted by me and have no relation to that Prince Chen. Tell me, how can you help your eldest brother? Ascending to the position of Crown Prince, as long as Xiao’er becomes Emperor, Jin’er will naturally be safe and sound. In my dream, my elder brother will fall in love at first sight with the daughter of a noble family relative of the Empress Dowager tonight, and then gain the support of the Empress Dowager and the Marquis, and be appointed as the Crown Prince. Why is Qin Yunluo so powerful in my dream? She can write a policy to stabilize the country and help my elder brother win over powerful ministers. No, no, no, all of this is fake. My brother was able to become the Crown Prince because of me. Granny , hurry up and inform Xiao’er. Yes, wait , the Bai family is powerful and cannot rely solely on the Empress Dowager and the Marquis’s mansion. We must make two preparations. Yes, this old servant will go and do it. You better pray that you are still useful . Slow down, brother. What do you think of this one? She is quite a good match for you. ” Fine, you call me a pig? A cute little piglet girl. Be careful, it’s her, my sister-in-law from my past life, Sister Liu! Where did this brat come from , daring to disturb my good time ? Get lost , or I’ll deal with you too! Young master, please save me! How dare you harass a commoner under the Emperor’s nose ? You’re courting death ! Thank you for saving my life, young master! Is Sister Liu destined to be my sister-in-law in this life too? Mingzhu, isn’t it said that I am Miss Liu’s benefactor? Why is the second brother here too? Miss, I am the eldest prince, Qin Xiao. Just now, seeing this group of people chasing after you, with me here, don’t be afraid! In my past life, Qin Xiao, a hero, saved a beauty and won Sister Liu’s favor. But after marriage, Qin Mingzhu repeatedly sowed discord and harmed…” My sister suffered several miscarriages and died of depression. In this life , I cannot let good people suffer again. Sister Liu, you’re too kind. I don’t know about my eldest brother , but my second brother loves to stand up for what’s right. You brat, how dare you slander me! You all know me? Yes, we ‘ve seen your portrait at the Empress Dowager’s. I am Princess Yong’an . This is my second brother, Qin Ziheng. Greetings, Your Highnesses! Greetings, Princess Liu! It’s fate that we met . Why don’t we go shopping together? I’ll treat you to something delicious. Lazy Miss Liu, why don’t you accompany me on a boat trip along the river? Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness , but I get seasick. Sister Liu, let’s go! My eldest brother is going shopping too! You fool , how dare you ruin my plans? “What a wonderful thing for the prince! This hairpin is so beautiful! Oh, this young sir has excellent taste! This is a glass and gold hairpin from the Western Regions. Five taels of gold ! So expensive! If Miss Liu likes it , I, Your Highness, will buy it and give it to you. Is this person a pest? Why is he everywhere? Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. This lady doesn’t like it. Sir, this hairpin is so clumsy. I never thought such a cheap jade could catch your eye. You don’t mean to buy something like this to give to Miss Liu, do you? That would be beneath your princely status. Yunluo, do you like it? Brother, you’ve given it to the wrong person. It’s simple and elegant, exquisitely carved, and has a unique charm. Your Highness has excellent taste . Sister Liu and brother…” Brother, you two are such a perfect match ! This young master and young lady are truly soulmates. This hairpin is called the “Tongxin Hairpin” (同心簪) , symbolizing unity of heart and unwavering affection. Oh, no, ten taels of silver , sister , I’m giving it to you on behalf of my brother. How can I accept this? This belongs to the princess ! Oh, I’ve got my eye on another hairpin. Since you like it, please do me a favor. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Are Your Highness and the princess free tomorrow? I’d like to host a banquet at Chunfeng Tower to thank you for saving my life. Yes, yes, yes! Then see you tomorrow! Good brother , what do you think of Sister Liu? What do you mean, “what do you think “? She’s just a person! Of course she’s wonderful! She ‘s the daughter of a noble family, intelligent from a young age, from a wealthy family, and highly educated. I also think it would be even better if she could be my sister-in-law. Did your dream work ? Liu Mingyan’s savior is Qin Ziheng . All my painstaking planning over this long period has been for nothing, and it’s all benefited them . If it didn’t work, I’ll send you to Prince Chen right now. It did work! In my dream, I also dreamed of a kind of Gu, a secret Gu made by the Hu people. As long as a child Gu is planted in the other person, they will be deeply devoted to the mother Gu. And there’s such a thing! The Hu people are indeed skilled at making Gu. I’ll send someone to inquire about it right away . Even if Liu Mingyan doesn’t want to marry you , she absolutely… Why hasn’t Sister Liu arrived yet? Could something have happened? Let’s go see her. Sister Liu, why are you with my brother ? Didn’t you say you were hosting a banquet for us at Chunfeng Tower? Who are you ? Do we know each other? You don’t recognize me? Ah Xiao, I feel these two are very strange . Yan’er, don’t be afraid. These are my imperial younger sister and brother. They probably know the Empress Dowager has bestowed a marriage upon us and have come to congratulate us, right? Brother, the marriage is indeed arranged. My wedding is at the end of the month, Yan’er and I. Second brother, don’t forget to send your wedding gift then. I apologize for being so abrupt. Sister, let’s go. Brother , don’t you think Sister Liu is acting strangely? Even if she doesn’t want to befriend us … No need to pretend you don’t know us, right? You mean she might have been done something to by your eldest brother? Hmm, then we need to find a way to save her quickly. I’ll go ask my master for help. Since the Empress Dowager has bestowed this marriage upon you, then I will set a date for you today. Thank you, Father Emperor (Thank you, Your Majesty). After today, Xiao’er’s throne will be secure. Wait ! How dare you! Your Majesty has bestowed this marriage ; how can you presume to interfere? Sister Liu, you can’t marry your eldest brother. The person who saved you on the street that night was my second brother. You’ve been deceived by him. What nonsense are you talking about ? I saved Yan’er. The person she loves is also me. Sister Liu, think carefully. That night, my brother also gave you a jade hairpin. Oh, my head hurts so much. What’s going on? Master, Miss Liu has offended you. Miss Liu has been afflicted with a love curse, and the mother curse’s influence has distorted her memories. He actually knows about love curses! A prince dares to use such a poisonous method! I remember now, the person who saved me was the Second Prince, and the person who gave me the hairpin was also the Second Prince. We even made a promise to meet at the Spring Breeze Pavilion the next day. I’m sorry, I broke my promise. Great! You finally remembered ! Xiao’er, Xiao’er, Xiao’er , Fu Xiao’er, what exactly did you do to my son? The mother and child curses are one; if the child curse is harmed, the mother curse will also suffer a backlash. This is all your own doing. Now you… What else is there to say? How could you believe Princess Yong’an’s one-sided story? Why is Heng’er mentally challenged? Why was Consort Ruo labeled a jinx? Empress , you should know very well. How could he know all this ? Consort Ruo is kind-hearted and didn’t investigate further , yet you attempted to use this evil spirit to control Liu Ganjin and pave the way for your position as Crown Prince with the power of the Liu family. Today, I will let you achieve your goal in vain. Issue an imperial decree : from this moment forward, appoint the Second Prince, Qin Ziheng, as Crown Prince, to assume the position of Eastern Palace, in order to uphold the foundation of the nation . Your Majesty , would you rather appoint a fool than Xiao’er? I do not have such a poisonous son . Very well, then don’t blame me for turning ruthless. What do you want to do ? Of course, I’m here to seek justice! Come in, all of you ! Father, you’re really ruthless ! You already deposed me, now you want to depose my elder brother too ! Guards! Guards! Protect the Emperor! These are foreign barbarians ! Mother , you’ve colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country! Your Majesty, if you’re willing to write an abdication edict and pass the throne to Xiao’er, we can spare your life! How dare you collude with foreign barbarians to force the emperor to abdicate? Who will live and who will die is still uncertain! You’re about to die, yet you’re still being stubborn! Guards! Seize Qin Yunluo! What have you done? You’re all wolves in sheep’s clothing! But I’m determined to set things right ! Anyway, what belongs to my brother, no one can take away! Imperial Guards! Your Majesty, I’m late in coming to your rescue! Seize all these traitors! Seize them ! By imperial decree, the Empress and the princes have committed treason! From this moment on, strip them of their titles! First Prince Qin Xiao, Third Prince Qin Yunjin , and Princess An Qin Mingzhu are demoted to commoners and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. They are not to leave until death ! Isn’t that Mingming? It wasn’t like this in my dream, Mother! I knelt before the gods for three days and three nights, and Father has finally recovered ! Father has promised to come to Kunning Palace every day from now on. You no longer need to worry about currying favor. Yong’an, you are truly my good daughter! She has been ill for three months, and this kneeling has only worsened her condition . What if she infects Mingzhu ? Perhaps we should just throw her in the Buddhist hall? Brother, Yong’an, you have finally written the “Pacifying the Nation” strategy. As long as you present it to Father , he will be very happy. Yong’an, you are truly amazing , worthy of being my sister! Oh, by the way, this is the homework assigned to me by the Grand Tutor. Here , and also the policy essay that Father asked me for a few days ago. Could you write it for me as well? What’s that smell? It’s so awful! I’ve been researching at the academy for too long. Why don’t you go wash up? Mingzhu will come to see me later , so don’t let the smell bother her. Oh, and don’t forget your homework! It’s so annoying ! Can’t you just leave already? My sister Mingzhu is much more obedient than her. Third brother, I have searched through all the history books and finally drawn the “Flood Control” strategy. ” Give this to Father , and he’ll definitely promote you! Alright, I know! Look at you, you have no princess manners at all . Learn from my sister Mingzhu, she’s so well-behaved and adorable. Having a sister like you is a disgrace. Yong’an, Yong’an , Yong’an… I remember now, in my previous life, it was Yong’an who helped me become the Crown Prince . I also remember, I was made a prince. That flood control map was originally given to me by Yong’an. So, in my previous life, Yong’an was my daughter. I shouldn’t have treated her that way. I should have been her mother, I should have been the Empress Dowager . Qin Mingzhu, it’s all because of her, she’s nowhere near as good as Yong’an. It’s all your fault . If it weren’t for you, Yong’an would still be my sister, and we wouldn’t have ended up like this. It’s all your fault , you ‘re my mother . Brother, don’t you want me anymore? You’re such a wicked person, you don’t deserve to be my daughter at all. Mother Yong’an is the most soft-hearted. As long as we beg her , she will definitely forgive us . Yes, yes, yes , let’s go beg her forgiveness now. We’ll tell her…” Tell her we only recognize her as our sister, she will definitely save us ! Yong’an, we want to see Yong’an! Yong’an , we want to see Yong’an! Brother and sister- in-law , Yong’an! Yong’an, what are you doing here? Of course, I’m here on orders to roll around in bed! I hope my brother and sister-in- law will give me a little nephew next year! Ah, I know, this is Father Emperor’s idea for you, right? But indeed, sister, you are a blessing from heaven! Then roll around more! Brother can’t wait to have a daughter as lively and lovely as you! Alright, roll around in bed! Roll around happily! May you have a dragon and phoenix, wealth and honor! First a unicorn, then a phoenix! May you have both a son and a daughter, and happiness last forever! The Princess’s Imperial Clan Court is making a fuss again, still clamoring to see me! This servant replied that she wouldn’t see me, but this time the guard said that the Empress has gone mad , muttering something like, ” In my previous life, I heard you were looking for me, Yong’an! ” Yong’an, Mother knows she was wrong , please forgive Mother! In the previous life, you prayed for three days and three nights at the Imperial Ancestral Temple to win His Majesty’s favor for Mother, but Mother only knew how to favor Qin Mingzhu. Mother was wrong, Mother was really wrong. Mother promises to only be good to you from now on , okay? Please forgive Mother. Brother Yong’an also knows he was wrong. If I could have another life, I would definitely treat your sister well. Third brother also knows he was wrong. You are kind-hearted, please forgive us, okay? Why do you think I would forgive you? Qin Mingzhu , Qin Mingzhu, it’s all Qin Mingzhu who bewitched us, sister, please forgive us, okay? Do you still think everything is because of Qin Mingzhu? Although she is vicious , you are all cold and mean-spirited at heart. In my previous life, I was blind and mistaken for family. But in this life, I have finally found my true family. Don’t look for me anymore . Live out your remaining years here. Sister Yong’an , come back. Sister, Father , Mother, Brother, why are you all here ? We’ve come to take you home, our little princess . Father has come to take you home. It turns out that not all sincere efforts will be betrayed. Thank God for giving me a second chance. Today I know that no matter what, love yourself first and then love others. Those unexperienced warmth will always be experienced by new people.

小演员真是太可爱啦！❤
These mothers dress their little girls like adult women.😮
15:14 The little girl got into a situation where she was missing a tooth, and now the new tooth has already come in. 😊
小演员很可爱！换妈的故事比换爹版本好看多了，下次给我们小演员换个长公主妈妈，让小姑娘帮助妈妈当女帝！
33:46 The girl in this scene returned to the beginning scene without the tooth. The drama's editing is in the wrong order. 😅
