It must have been destiny.

When I received an edict
from Empress Dowager back then,

I had no choice but to leave Jinan
in a hurry and return to Beijing.

Before I left, I promised Yuhe...

that I would send someone
to take her back to the palace.

Little did I know,
Miaojiang Rebellion War...

took one year to cease fire!

Occupied with affairs of the state,

I had left Yuhe
in the back of my head.

Never had I thought
that after 19 years,

I would find my lost daughter again!

This clearly proves...

that Your Majesty's kindness
has moved heaven and earth,

reuniting Your Majesty's family.

What a cause for celebration.

Only good fortune
lies ahead of Her Highness...

after surviving such catastrophe.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

I've summoned all of you here today...

to seek for your opinion.

I feel sorry for my daughter.

So I'd like to grant
her a princess title.

What do you think?

Your Majesty,

I think, you might
lose the people's trust...

with what happened in Jinan back then.

Your Majesty,
the people look up to you.

It is inadvisable
for scandals to spread.

Why not tell the people...

that the princess
is a commoner you adopted?

This way,

it would be justified...

to grant her a princess title.

Calling her my adopted daughter...

Wouldn't that be unfair to her?

Xiaolan's concern is right.

Back then, Your Majesty
disguised as a commoner.

Not many people knew.

If this story were to spread,

I am afraid that
many may exaggerate it.

It might be pernicious to
Your Majesty and the princess.

If Her Highness was
your adopted daughter,

it would be impeccable.

All right. I shall do as you advise.

Then, what if I grant her
a title of Heshuo Princess?

How about that?

Your Majesty,
this doesn't seem right as well.

Heshuo Princess would have to
be a child born by a Princess Consort.

This princess was a commoner.

And her biological mother
is of the Han clan.

She has a special background.

If she's titled a Heshuo Princess,

controversy and suspicion may stir,

other princesses might be displeased.

What about a special title...

so that she can be unique...

and stand out among the others?

That's very thoughtful of you,
Minister Ji.

What do you suggest?

What about the Pearl Princess?

Pearl Princess?

Great! I like it!

Pearl Princess sounds great!

Good. That's it!

Pearl Princess it is!

You called for me?

Outrageous!

Have you not learned
how to greet even now?

How could you address the
Emperor and Empress as "you"?

What else should I call then?

We'll teach her slowly.

Consort Ling, you might
have to put more effort.

Explain to her one by one.

I will.

Xiao Yanzi, take a seat.

The Empress and I
summoned you here today...

because there are many
things that we don't know...

about your background.

We'd like you to share.

Once we clarify everything,

you will be my Pearl Princess.

Yes, please ask, Father.

Did your mother tell you
how we met each other?

She did.

She said that Father wanted
to get shelter from the rain,

so he dropped by her place.

But when the rain stopped,

Father refused to leave.

A short visit then
turned into a short stay.

She is right.
I was getting shelter from the rain.

She's right.

Xiao Yanzi,

when did you leave Jinan?

And when did you arrive in Beijing?

I departed from Jinan last August.

I reached Beijing this February.

That means...

you've only arrived in
Beijing for several months.

But why do you speak
native Beijing dialect?

You don't have any
Shandong accent at all.

Your Majesty, you have no idea.

Ever since I was little,
my mother got me a tutor...

just to teach me Beijing dialect.

Only now do I know
what her intention was.

It turned out that she already knew...

that I would come
to Beijing one day...

and had to speak the dialect.

She really worked her fingers
to the bone, Your Majesty.

I see.

In that case,

you should know how to speak your
hometown dialect, shouldn't you?

Speak Shandong dialect for us.

Trying to test me out?

Shandong dialect is a piece of cake.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong
are both Shandong people.

Stuffed bun,
steamed bun and red bean bun!

Fragrant and plump...

stuffed bun,
steamed bun and red bean bun!

Steaming hot stuffed bun,
steamed bun and red bean bun!

Enough!

Say something else.

Something else?

My name is Xiao Yanzi,
