Horses drink by the river at dusk.

People shudder as the sandstorm nears.

Through her pipa, the princess broods.

Enemies... in the wild outnumber me.

No, it's...

Swordplay like the snow and desert.

The wailing swallow
soars across the sky.

Tears of the Hu soldiers
fall incessantly.

The Jade Gate is
supposedly still locked.

So kill them all, a whole cartload.

Enough.

All that dancing around
and you still made a mess of the poem.

I have no idea
what you guys are up to.

Father, you should've
given me an easier poem.

This poem has nothing
to do with my daily life.

The lines are too long.

I memorize one line,
then forget the last.

It's impossible.

One moment it's the Hu men,
then it's wild men.

One moment it's snowing,
then a desert.

One moment it's dawn, then it's dusk.

There's no Emperor,
but there's a princess.

This kind of poem only
confuses my brain and my tongue.

It's really hard to memorize.

Then what was the game
of charades all about?

Please let this slide, Your Majesty.

This was a failed teaching method.

We thought we could
help Her Highness memorize...

the poem as a swordplay manual.

But she's learned the swordplay
but not the manual.

A swordplay manual?

Who created it?

I'm impressed you thought of it.

All right, let me know
if you all think Xiao Yanzi passed.

It's already a miracle.
She got the first 4 lines right.

"The wailing swallow
soars across the sky."

"The Hu soldiers' tears
fall incessantly."

These two lines were good too.

Your Majesty, she did
make more mistakes towards the end,

but she did get "Jade Gate" right.

Are you saying that
she's managed to memorize it?

Can't Ziwei do it on my behalf?

On your behalf?

Don't be silly.

Your Majesty, allow me
to recite a poem for the princess.

Please give her a pass
if Your Majesty likes it.

If you don't,
then make her learn it again.

You'll recite another poem?

Yes, another one.

Go on. I'll have a listen.

Since everyone is in a good mood,

and excited for the upcoming trip,

let's not recite "An Old War-song."

That poem is way too depressing.

We're experiencing peace
and prosperity in the country.

Why recite such a sad poem?

Sure, don't do that poem.

Let's go with a cheerful one.

Recite it for us then.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The spring clouds hover,

as a boat sails on
the vast South Lake.

Glancing back is
a sea of emerald greens,

where red plum flowers
appears up close.

Comparable even to
the Ni Huang scroll,

a pavilion stands in the rain.

Wishing to hear Li Mou's flute,

resonate through the Crystal Palace
under a moonlit sky.

This is my poem.

You actually memorized my poem.

Yes, forgive my brazenness.

I didn't manage to recite it
in Your Majesty's tone.

Do you know when I wrote this poem?

It was on your 16th year of reign,
in February.

During your first trip to Jiangnan.

You wrote the poem
as you toured the South Lake.

Xiao Yanzi,
your accomplice is too skilled.

I surrender.

All right, I'll give you a pass.

That's great!

As for the swordplay manual...

The idea is pretty good.

Too bad the student was terrible.

What was it,

"As His Majesty decrees,
the sandstorm nears"?

"Through reciting poetry,
the princess broods."

Miss, you're going along
on the secret patrol with His Majesty.

You should bring me too.
