Mom, ten tales of silver would be enough. You! It’s inconvenient for me to go out. You’ll go to your father’s study. And tell him you are worried that he hasn’t had a meal yet. Would he like to have some snacks or not? Meanwhile, see what’s going on with Fan Xian in the study.
Mother, you are right. I will obey your command. You escort the young master there. Yes. He is quite docile. It looks like he’s made some progress. You should pick up your pace. Yes. Father didn’t have a meal till now. I’m really worried about him. I’m worried about him a lot. Young master.
Am I stupid? Young master. My lady, young master ran away! Fan Jian Impatient? Greetings, father. Father, just take your time, it’s okay. I have waited in Danzhou for so many years. I won’t be impatient for such a short time here. There is resentment in your words. Do I need to hug you tearfully
And cry for an hour to show my apology. Please don’t. I think so, too. Let’s get down to business. What kind of person do you want to be? I want to be the richest with a life of peace. I want to be charming and handsome with a sexy harem.
Sorry, I’m kind of vulgar. How to start your business? I’ve already thought about it. I have an unique talent. I can make fantastic smooth and transparent artifacts from gravel under great heat which will surpass crystals. I named it glass. Once it’s been available… Where do you get it? Your mom made it.
And its technique is mature. It doesn’t matter. I have another talent. I can use grease to make artifacts to clean clothes and bodies. It is smooth as butter with aroma. It’s ten thousand times better than honeylocust and wood ash. I named it soap. Your mom made it. Not only soaps,
But also perfume soaps. It doesn’t matter. Actually, I have another plan. Today’s dessert, except for honey, most are made of maltose or grist. It is pretty rough even it’s made of cane sugar. I can further refine the cane sugar to make sugar which is as white as snow. The flavor is even better.
White granulated sugar. We have two jars of it in the kitchen. Did my mom make it, too? Yes, your mom made it. Why haven’t I seen these things in Danzhou? These things are used by bigwigs. They only circulate in big cities. So it’s because I lived in the countryside.
Do you have other thoughts? No. Since God made me, why did you make my mom? Your mother has a myriad of fancy ideas in business. Her firm had already become the best all over the world those years. It was the center of wealth in the world. I’ve heard that.
After her death, this firm was incorporated into the treasury. It isn’t the treasury. The royal family took over it, they named it Royal Treasury. Who gave this name? It’s too inelegant. Mind your words. His Majesty gave this name. What’s wrong with the name? Forget about it, keep going.
His Majesty is diligent and national affairs are heavy. So he doesn’t have energy to manage it himself. Therefore, he handed over it to the Eldest Princess Li Yunrui. The Eldest Princess manages Trouser? The Eldest Princess has uncontested beauty and mild temper. Although she isn’t His Majesty’s sister, but she is trusted.
She is still single till now. Li Yunrui, the Eldest Princess of Qing Father. Do you take a fancy to the Eldest Princess? Bullshit! Since we met, you told me things about the firms and the Eldest Princess. You said it’s all business, but we’ve talked about are gossips. Do you know what gossip is?
The Eldest Princess has a daughter with Prime Minister Lin Ruofu. Didn’t you say that she is single? It is a secret. Isn’t it a gossip? The daughter of the Eldest Princess, her name is Lin Wan’er. She is the girl you are going to marry since you are in the capital this time.
An illegitimate boy marries an illegitimate girl. It’s kind of a perfect match. His Majesty’s verbal instruction, the one who can marry Lin Wan’er will take over the right of managing the Royal Treasury from the Eldest Princess Li Yunrui. Chen Pingping and Fei Jie don’t want you to be in the capital now.
I took advantage of their absence to get you here. Because now is the best chance to retake your mom’s business. Also, you are getting back what should belong to you? Come. This is for you. What is this? The important affairs of the Royal Treasury these years. Read it carefully.
It will help you to retake the business. Actually, I… But you have to be careful. Royal Treasury is a cash cow of the royal family. There are a lot of people who don’t want you to take over it. My respect, Empress Dowager your highness. Arise. Thank you, your highness.
Empress Dowager of Qing It’s too late now, why are you here? Your highness, Fan Xian is in the capital. The child Count Sinan grew up in Danzhou? After I gave birth to Wan’er, I’d sent her out of the palace. I always feel guilty in my heart.
So I want to find her an excellent husband. Fan Xian is a wretch from the countryside without any fame and talent. How can he deserve Wan’er? So you want… I don’t want Wan’er to marry him. So the Eldest Princess doesn’t agree with it. Yes. She didn’t agree with it at the beginning.
So that’s the end. The mother-in-law didn’t agree with it. So the marriage will fail. She can’t control over the marriage between you and Lin Wan’er. Why does her mother can’t control it? Since when the royal family would make a decision for the sake of kinship?
Do you want to prevent Fan Xian from marrying Wan’er? Please help me, Your highness. Hong Sixiang, the leader of eunuchs of Qing Your highness. Eunuch Hong. I’m sorry. Only His Majesty can make a decision for those things happened in the harem. No one cares about your feeling.
This slap was to remind you to not cross the line. Yes. As long as His Majesty agrees, anyone else’s opinion is useless. But why does His Majesty want me to marry Lin Wan’er? His Majesty has four sons. The Eldest Prince is leading troops in the outside. The Youngest Prince is still a child.
Now the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are contending for the throne. Anything to do with me? The Eldest Princess always supports the Crown Prince and his fellows. The royal family’s financial power is controlled by the Crown Prince. This is a huge taboo.
So they must change the one who controls the Royal Treasury. Exactly. If I control the Royal Treasury, it equals to destroy his foundation. It may be the reason for the assassination in Danzhou. Do you mean that it’s the Crown Prince who wants to kill me?
He is the stakeholder, so it’s of great possibility. All you’ve talked about is to help Liu Ruyu to get rid of it. Don’t you believe it? You said it’s the Crown Prince. Does it matter if I don’t believe it? Follow me. The Eldest Princess. His Majesty wanted to see you.
Please come with me, your highness. Lead the way. Fan Ruoruo Fan Sizhe Starving. You are done. Have a seat quickly. Well. You didn’t want to eat, but Xian would be hungry. Fan Xian Liu Ruyu Fan Jian We have important things to discuss, you go out first. Yes. Only me? Get out now. Yes.
Did you dispatch the butler Zhou to Danzhou? Master knows all about it. Danzhou is faraway, so I wanted to find someone reliable to take care of Xian. It would ease my mind a little bit. He assassinated Fan Xian in Danzhou. A…Assassination? Don’t you know it? I haven’t received this month’s letter.
I don’t know it. No more letters. Mother has sent him on a boat, he will stay on it for a couple of years. This man was out there for many years. I didn’t expect him to be so ferocious. It’s lucky to have Xian safe. The butler Zhou admitted that
He had received your secret message that ordered to cooperate with the Overwatch Council to kill Fan Xian. Why the Overwatch Council in? The Overwatch Council received a fake order. The Overwatch Council is only responsible for His Majesty. It must be one of the royal family to put a spy in it.
The mother of the Youngest Prince, Concubine Yi, is your cousin. So master, you thought I wanted to kill Fan Xian? Didn’t you? Of course not! Why? I… Tell him. If I want to kill you, I will find someone who has no relationship with me to do it!
I will never let butler Zhou do it. I…I’m not that stupid. You may do exactly the opposite way to get rid of suspicion. I don’t have a reason to kill you. The inheritance of family property is the reason. You are wrong, Fan Xian. I may be against you. I may suppress you.
But I won’t kill you for sure. Why? If you died because of me, the master would dislodge Sizhe and me out of the family. I… This… Ruoruo. I think she’s right. If Aunt Liu wants to kill you, she won’t allow her loyalists to get involved. Yes. How’s that?
It can’t be testified by a few words. I… You can investigate it by yourself. Let’s have the meal first. Here you come. This is an award from the Eldest Princess. Li Yunrui Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is here Qing’s Emperor That slap from the empress dowager. Don’t hate her.
I don’t want Wan’er to marry a wretch from the countryside! You can talk to me about whatever you want. You don’t need to ruin his fame outside. What are Your Majesty talking about? I don’t understand. Don’t you understand? Gong Dian. Yes, your majesty. Go to check who asked to purchase outside?
Yes, Your Majesty. Take a seat. Come on, everybody. Eat more. So many delicious dishes. Come, I’ll serve you more soup. OK. You are so kind. This Clam soup with winter gourd. I asked others to bring the clam specially. Here, try it. Thank you so much. Aunt Liu, I’ve never seen
Anyone cooked like this in Danzhou. Really? – Try it. – How’s it? How’s it? I’m so happy. Glad you like it. Aunt Liu, Father. I brought this fish from Danzhou specially. Have a try. Come on, try it. It looks delicious. You are so sweet. If you like it,
I’ll send you more of it from home. I really like it, it smells so good. It’s good that you like it. Eat more, master. Come. Aunt Liu. Did you make all these dishes? That’s true. My father is so lucky. I made these for you. I’m lucky.
I want to learn how to cook from you. Then I’ll cook for you, how’s that? Sure! Let me choose what I’d like to learn. Come on, try it. Sis. What’s happened to them while I was gone? Why do they become so close suddenly? Nothing. They suspected that your mother
Wanted to kill our brother. Come on, try this. This. I’ll give you some. This is delicious. Sis, don’t deceive me. Absolutely true. You have some, don’t attend to me all the time. I’m happy to see you eating. I’ll have more. Come, come, come. Please have it. OK. Your Majesty,
Today, it’s Lead maid Han from the Imperial Household Bureau arranged the procurement. Where is she? Your Majesty, she’s already hung herself. Do Your Majesty want to ask me my relationship with that Lead maid Han. Why do you say it too clearly? If Your Majesty ask, I will answer. Are you tired?
I have my whole day resting in the palace, I don’t feel tired. That’s good. Sit here and wait. Your Majesty, may I ask what we’re waiting for? Waiting for someone. Who will it be? If it will be a minister, I should go. You’ll know who it will be after it’s here.
Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you. Summon. Look, he’s here. Don’t keep silent on your knees, talk to me. I am the one who asked maids to block the way. Please punish me, Your Majesty. I am very disappointed with you. Li Chengqian, Crown Prince of Qing I know my sin.
Li Yunrui didn’t admit a thing. I was just being silly to make this mistake. I was so blamed once I’ve thought about it. The authority of the Royal Treasury should be assigned by Your Majesty. I shouldn’t take it to my own hand. The authority of the Royal Treasury, it contains the world’s wealth.
You, the Crown Prince, if you don’t scramble for it, you won’t be the Crown Prince. Your methods are the things disappointed me. Tell me what’re the differences between the royal lineage and those normal citizens? It’s like heaven and hell, cloud and dirt. Someone said
They all have a pair of hands and a pair of eyes. The Prince and an ordinary person are normal people. Your Majesty, these words are too conceited. What are those ceremonies and laws used for? The basis of the nation stability. What? You just want to build a tower in people’s mind
To keep your dignity high up there. The one who said it, should be slain. You use the imperial harem’s reputation to destroy his fame. And you became his jest. Once there are more jests, the reverences will disappear. Without reverences, where will your dignity be? Isn’t the tower going to collapse?
You are destroying your basis! Your Majesty, I understand. You don’t understand. Think about it carefully. Come here. This is a name list of ministers I will dismiss these days. Prepare for it. Look who’s on it. Are there any of your followers? I was a Crown Prince before.
I have scrambled for what I should have. But you have to have a bottom line. Your Majesty. Get out. Your Majesty. Get out! Father. I’ll go to study. I’ll go to study, too. Yes. Master. I’ve asked servants to clean up Xian’s room. I’ll show it to him now
To see what else he needs. You go back to your room first. I have a few words to tell Xian. Yes. This is capital. You have to be prudent from now on. I’m always prudent. You brought the killer from Overwatch Council back capital. And you’re talking about prudence.
Did you know Teng Zijing already? The bodyguards who escorted you back here are elites. Do you think they really didn’t know there was one more guy? What’s this? A wanted poster. I found it in documents of the Ministry of Penalty. It’s a wanted poster of Teng Zijing. What did he do?
I don’t know and I don’t need to know. Just be careful with him. This was a wanted poster of Teng Zijing before. He doesn’t exist now. Don’t contact with those people from the Overwatch Council. And whether it’s crown prince tried to kill you I will investigate about it secretly, you should be careful.
Be careful? What can I do? Can I rush into the East Palace to kill the Crown Prince? If it were your mom, she would do this. It’s so drastic! There isn’t a rule that can control her. She always can do something unexpected. How did my mom die? Someone murdered her.
Is the murderer alive? I don’t know. It seems like all of those who were involved in your mom’s death have been slain. But both Chen Pingping and I feel there is some danger hidden in this capital which you can’t touch and see. So, I kept you in Danzhou. At last,
You brought me back in the capital. I’ve told you this is the best chance to get your mom’s business back. You are right. OK. You are tired, go to take a good rest. I will arrange for you to marry Lin Wan’er. You don’t need to worry about it.
I don’t want to marry her. What did you say? I said I didn’t want to marry Lin Wan’er. I’ve told you so much, didn’t you understand me? I understood. My mom had a firm before. The firm belongs to the royal family now. If I marry Lin Wan’er, I will get the firm back.
Now it’s the best chance. I understand what you’ve told me. But I don’t want to marry her. Why? I’m in love with a girl who stole a chicken leg. What? Actually, it has nothing to do with it. Maybe if I didn’t meet her, I still won’t marry Lin Wan’er. The Royal Treasury
Is your mother’s lifetime effort. I know, it means a lot to you. But… But… How… How to tell you? Look, look. It can move. If you rip it, it will bleed. I’m growing recently, I eat a lot everyday. The vegetable is healthy, but I like eating meat. If I eat more meat,
I’ll have a nosebleed and my nails will grow faster. I usually need to cut them every day. What are you bullshitting? I’m telling you that I’m human. I’m not a chess piece. I’m not a token. I’m a real human. Why should I trade my life for a firm? You have to understand, Xian,
If you control the Royal Treasury, you will control unlimited wealth. Did you marry my mother for her money? Presumptuous! I can’t marry her. I want to enjoy my life for myself. They are all loyalists of the crown prince. His Majesty is punishing me. It’s not only a punishment but also a reminder.
What’s on the list are all about the Ministry of War and Personnel. You read it by yourself. His Majesty wants to tell you that line is the power of the military and political. As long as you don’t cross the line, you can fight for whatever you want. If it’s true,
I can scramble for Royal Treasury. His Majesty said our methods are wrong. But he didn’t say we can’t lay our hands on Fan Xian. So what’s your suggestion on our next step, aunt? Why did His Majesty choose Fan Xian to scramble for Royal Treasury? He hasn’t been to the capital before.
He doesn’t belong to any factions. There are many people like this. But why it should be him? They say that Fan Xian uses a fake name to publish a drastic book named “Red Mansions”. I was wrong before. To destroy his basis, we should start from his best part. Red Mansions. Young master.
Young master. Give it to me. Give it to me. Gimme. You put it down. Put it down, put it down. I don’t need these. All of you, go back. Young master. We are your servants in the yard from today. Where can we go? You… You see I’m not disabled. I’m so strong.
I don’t need you guys to take care of me. Besides, born as a human, there is no difference, everyone is the same. You should live for yourselves. Go. What are you doing? Young master. We as servants, if we did something wrong, you could beat and scold us. Don’t scare us. Yes, young master.
How did I scare you? I’m seriously talking to you guys. And there is no servant and master. There is no distinction between people. Everyone is his own master. Young master. We belong to Fan family, alive or dead! No other thoughts. No other thoughts. Apparently, to debate at a different level of knowledge,
It’s unequal itself. Human resources is an art. Sometimes, it needs to be simple. You guys piss off! I’m unsocial. I don’t want to see anyone else in this yard. Move, move now! Go, go to do your business. Young master, if you said earlier, we would understand.
Get out of my sight if you understand! Yes, yes, yes, young master. We’ll leave now. If there’s anything you want, just tell us. Now go! Otherwise, I’ll beat you with a plank. Yes, young master. You guys find a plank quickly and send to young master. – Yes. – Piss off.
Young Master, you’ve had a long day. Go to rest early. Who will arrange his daily routines if he lives alone. It doesn’t matter. There are a lot of eccentric young masters and ladies in many big families. It’s not a big deal. What he said at first is kinda scary. All right, all right.
You guys, listen to me. It’s okay, it’s okay. Those words about the plank is much more genial to us. Yes, yes. Fan Xian, Fan Xian. Fan Xian. Are you sleep? I’m Fan Sizhe. I have something to talk to you. I’m coming in. You fell asleep. Wake up. Wake up.
I have something to tell you. Why are you sleeping so badly? Fan Xian, wake up. Fan Xian. Haven’t you ever slept in Danzhou? Are you awake? Well, listen to me that, well, today I nearly punched you. I was wrong. Anyway, we are relatives, aren’t we? So tomorrow noon I’ll find a restaurant
To treat you a nice meal as an apology. What do you think? I’d say you agreed with me. Don’t forget it. I’m leaving. I’ll put it on the table. Fan Xian. Who is he? What? The bodyguard who escorted me back to the capital. You drove away those maids
And kept a bodyguard with you. What’s your habit? What brought you here? There’s another thing. My father is kind of staid. But no matter how staid he is, he is your father. Do you know? You don’t need to explain it to me. OK. Don’t tell him I asked you out for lunch tomorrow.
I know it. Do your business. Where were you? Anywhere you can’t see. Didn’t you leave? Listen to me. That brat agreed. Tomorrow morning, find some guys to go out with me. I need to lay my hands on him heavily. The wretch from Danzhou. But he is our young master.
He is a young master, I’m not a young master? Piss off. Yes. Your documents were transferred by the Overwatch Council. The only one they left there is this wanted poster. It’s recorded your sin back then is the assassination of an imperial minister. That’s strange. Why did the Overwatch Council hire someone like you?
