Read it out as well.

Can't I not?

No.

By the doorway sat a dog,

in its mouth was a bone.

Then comes another dog,

and they broke each other's bones.

You call this a poem too?

And you even submitted it!

I had no choice. Master Ji said...

be it ghosts fighting...

or dogs fighting,

you must compose a poem
and submit it to me.

What could I do?

So, I just went with
realistic portrayal.

I've never seen
ghosts fighting before,

but I've seen dogs fighting!

So, I wrote this poem.

And, Master said...

the words I used to describe
the dogs were not bad.

Didn't you, Master?

Your Majesty,
Her Highness has improved a lot.

She is studying very hard.

Sometimes, she even comes up
with classical sentences.

With gradual teaching,
I'm sure she will make progress.

Father,

considering that Xiao Yanzi
used to be illiterate,

she's now able to
compose some limericks,

it's a commendable effort.

Don't push her too hard.

Otherwise, she might
develop a fear for words.

How sensible, Prince Yongqi.

Your Majesty,

Xiao Yanzi is able to compose poems,

differentiate between
5 and 7 syllables,

and can even make rhymes.

She started very late.

She's achieved so much today,
thanks to Master Ji...

and his apprentices' hard work.

With this kind of poetry...

yet to my surprise,
everyone speaks for you.

Read this next poem for me too.

Yesterday, I tried poetry,
but failed miserably.

Today, I tried poetry,
but I shed tears of misery.

The more I try poetry,
the more I get skinny.

As I lift up my pen,
I cry for my parents.

Is this another realistic portrayal?

Yes.

Is it that hard to write poetry?

- Yes.
- How dare you say so!

But it is hard.

If I say otherwise,

I'll be deceiving Your Majesty.

Aren't you deceiving me now?

Who wrote it for you? Tell the truth!

Though it was imitated to
perfect your tone and word choice.

Still, you couldn't have wrote it!

Was it Yongqi or Ertai?

Father, definitely not me.

Your Majesty,

I haven't helped her
with any writing lately.

Father, let me kneel before you.

Composing poetry is so hard!

I'm really learning very hard.

But the oblique tones
are so complicated.

I'm barely learning how to rhyme.

Don't you try to change the subject.

Tell me now,
who helped you to write it?

I'll punish you both!

Will I have to kneel or write?

Does it matter?

Of course.

We can do it separately,

she can do the writing,

I'll do the kneeling.

Who is she?

Ziwei.

Ziwei composed it?

Yes.

She said poetry is too tough for me.

So, she wrote a few lines for me.

Xiao Yanzi, rise.

Why are you kneeling,
when I've yet to punish you?

Rise.

Xiaolan,

I think you should be
stricter with Xiao Yanzi.

She has so many helpers.

A few in class,

and at home too.

You can't go easy on her.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

Her Highness is in fact bright
and has a lively persona.

She has her strengths.

In class, she has
to behave conventionally.

For her, it's a torment.

Maybe if I taught her
through daily life,

it could get twice the results
with half the effort.

Chancellor Ji, you make a great point.

All right!

Master Ji, I'll let you worry
on the matters of lesson.

I've been wanting
to take a stroll lately.

A patrol as commoner,
to observe the citizens' conditions.

Come with me, Chancellor Ji.

Yongqi and Ertai
may come together too.

Yes!

I want to go too!

You're a lady, you can't.

Father,

You'll need to dress down
on a disguised patrol.

Can't I be your pretend
maidservant, please?

Father, please take me along!

I'm so bored being in the palace,

I'm about to fall sick!

With me by your side,

we can chat and laugh.

Won't it be great?

Fine, but there's one condition.

What's that?

You have to recite
Li Qi's "An Old War-song".

What's "An Old War-song"?

Who cares what it's about!

I just have to recite it!

If I can recite it,
can you promise me one thing?

You want a condition too?

Speak, then.

You can't just bring one
maidservant, can you?

Ziwei and I'll go with you.

Sure, then let Ziwei
and you come together.

Long live Father!

What are these?
