Father, I can't hold on any longer!

Then, come down already!

Yongqi, Ertai,
go up and get her down now.

Don't let her fall.

Yes!

Father, I've lived as
a commoner for 18 years.

Life may have been hard,

but no one has ever beaten me before.

Now that I'm in the palace,

I got slapped for the
first time in my life.

It's so tough to be a princess.

People in the palace
refuse to accept me.

Saying things like, I don't belong.

That I don't live up to my name.

They want me torn into pieces.

Father, if you really want
to protect me,

let me go back to
living as a commoner.

Leave us!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Who slapped her?

Your Majesty, it was me,
your humble servant!

Nanny Rong.

You are the Empress's senior nanny.

When the Empress is headstrong,
and in bad mood,

you should advice her.

Why didn't you do so?

I know!

You are the ones
who want to see the world burn!

Your humble servant has wronged you!

Your humble servant deserves to die!

Your humble servant deserves to die!

Your Majesty,

I was the one, who ordered her
to slap Pearl Princess.

Nanny Rong merely
heeded and executed.

Is Your Majesty, in other words,
punishing me too?

I didn't even let anyone
touch Nanny Rong.

The Empress has a heart after all...

you feel pain for Nanny Rong,

but you can't tolerate Xiao Yanzi?

Your humble servant deserves to die!

Get up, Nanny Rong.

Your humble servant deserves to die!

Thank you for your mercy,
Your Majesty!

If I hadn't come in time,

what were you going
to do to Xiao Yanzi?

Hand her over to Imperial
Clan Court for punishment.

Don't you think
you've crossed the line?

She is just an innocent,
hot tempered child.

You are the Empress,
how could take a kid so seriously?

What did she do to deserve
the Imperial Clan Court?

Treason!

Your Majesty, don't get upset.

Princess is clumsy and unruly.

But, she is kind.

And warm towards others.

Ever since she arrived,
she's gotten along well with everyone.

Other princes and princesses
are all fond of her.

Her dissension with you today,
may be just a misunderstanding.

Great men stoops not to pettiness.

Please don't mind her.

Let her apologize to you.

Yes, indeed.

Xiao Yanzi, kowtow before the Empress.

Just kowtow, I will.
Not like that can hurt me.

Your Majesty, there are
things that I must utter.

Sincere advice can be
a hard pill to swallow.

If I upset Your Majesty,

then forgive me.

Since Pearl Princess...

has been bestowed
the title of a Princess.

Each of her behavior and word
represents the royal family.

If ever she acts absurdly,

it will taint Your Majesty's dignity.

Now that she has wrecked havoc
and made a joke of herself,

on top of her boldness
and recklessness,

people in the palace
are bound to whisper.

Rumors of her behavior
are now all around.

If we don't keep her on a tight rein,

she will become
a serious problem in the palace.

A laughing stock to the commoners.

If she so dares to behave
as she did with me today,

she deserves to punished,

if not sent to
the Imperial Clan Court.

Let it be a warning to the
concubines and princesses.

♪ I can't blame nobody
for my heartache

♪ Because meeting you was perfect ♪

♪ Let my tears run dry,
let my heart burn to ashes

♪ I'll break free from my cocoon
to fly away with you ♪

♪ But I fear you'll never return ♪

♪ Though having been loved, cared,
missed by you, consoles me ♪

♪ As I soar to you,
the rain gently falls ♪

♪ Like your warm embrace
enveloping me ♪

♪ I'll soar to you,
no matter the distance ♪

♪ Though the journey
was painful and tearful

♪ As I chase you,
the wind gently blows ♪

♪ If you have no hate,
I have no regrets

♪ Oh, love! My heart is drunk ♪

♪ From being loved ♪
