Miss, I've brought the nanny.

Nanny, you must take a close look.

Don't end up suspecting me
of harboring an assassin.

I cannot bear such a charge.

You're joking, Your Grace.

Nanny, have you thoroughly checked?

Is there an assassin hiding in my hall?

Your Grace,

I've finished checking.

There's no one hiding here.

Then hurry out and report to your master.

Don't irritate me here.

Yes.

Bring me my change of clothes later.

These people have made me

lose interest in bathing.

Yes.

How is it?

Your Highness, I carefully
checked both the outer and inner halls.

There is no one else there, only Her Grace.

Rest assured, Your Highness.

Her Grace is perfectly fine.

Now you don't need to worry
about my daughter's safety

or suspect her of harboring an assassin.

Are you reassured now?

Sorry to bother you, Prince Ning.

Xiao Xingheng.

Xiao Xingheng.

Xiao Xingheng.

Xiao Xingheng.

Your Grace.

Are you okay?

I'm fine now.

Since you're fine and the people outside are gone,

why are you still not leaving?

Are you staying to watch me change?

That sounds good.

Previously, you saved my life

and now you helped me
escape a deadly calamity.

I really don't know how to repay you.

How about

I give myself to you?

What nonsense.

Xiao Xingheng, you scoundrel!

Ning Chuxi, will you marry me?

Only me?

Xiao Xingheng, I don't like guessing games,

doubting and regretting after decisions are made
and hesitating over choices.

I am different from other women.

I'm not shy to speak my mind.

At this moment, I just want

Only you

There's no other women.

It has always been just you.

I heard an assassin
entered Yunquan Palace yesterday

and almost ruined Her Grace's reputation.

How come I was not informed of this?

Fine, I won't beat around the bush.

What are your thoughts

on your daughter's marriage?

It depends on Chuxi's preferences.

But if you ask for my thoughts,

I would hope for Chuxi

to marry into an ordinary wealthy family.

It doesn't matter
if they have a lower status.

This way, I can protect her.

Your love for your daughter
is truly touching.

Princess Yuexi is graceful and charming.

I am quite fond of her.

I wonder if any of my sons

catch her fancy.

If any of the princes favor Chuxi,

that would be her blessing.

What do you think of the Third Prince?

The Third Prince is talented
in both literature and martial arts.

But somehow,

he doesn't seem to get along with Chuxi.

What about the Crown Prince?

The Crown Prince is elegant and noble.

But... But...

Speak your mind.

What I say may offend Your Majesty.

I beg your forgiveness.

Last time, Chuxi accidentally

took an arrow for the Crown Prince.

She didn't say it,

but I know

my daughter is fond of His Highness.

But His Highness

has always been frail.

I am worried

my daughter will be
left alone in the future.

Please forgive me for my offence.

[It seems Princess Yuexi
likes the Crown Prince,]

[but the old fox is worried]

[he's susceptible to early death.]

Do you think Father will approve
the Crown Prince and Ning Chuxi's marriage?

We cannot be sure whether the Duke
of State is truly against the Crown Prince

or it is just a facade

in Father's eyes.

But it's a fact that
the Crown Prince is currently weak.

Prince Ning guards the northern borders

and the Duke of State
guards the western regions.

If Princess Yuexi marries the Crown Prince,

he can use the Crown Prince
to control Prince Ning.

He needs a counterbalance.

Prince Ning,

you're merely fulfilling
your duty as a father.

That's not an offence.

Thank you, Your Majesty,
for your understanding.

I only spoke my thoughts.

But if Your Majesty chooses for Chuxi,

no matter who it is,

it would be the highest honor
for our Ning family.

[This old fox has likely knew]

[I dare not casually arrange this marriage.]

[Today's chess game was for naught.]

So, have you two already...

There's nothing between us.

But Yunquan Palace
is not a private residence.

The more people, the more eyes.

Since the Third Prince knew you were here,

why did he act as if he must barge in?

Could it be

he wanted to ruin your reputation

and reap the benefits?

I knew my best friend is smart.

Let's do this.

Going this big?

The bigger the waves, the fatter the fish.

Why I've never heard of this?

Breaking news! Breaking news!

"Tales of the Noble Circle"
has an expl*sive update.

Everyone, come take a look!

Breaking news! Breaking news!

"Tales of the Noble Circle"
has an expl*sive update.

Come and see!

Breaking news! Breaking news!

Here you are.

Miss, you're truly amazing.

The rumors are spiraling out of control.

Now all sorts of things are being said.

What are they saying?

Here's the thing.

Today Miss Su released her new book.

She wrote a grand total
of hundreds of thousands of words,

analyzing the hidden secrets and stories

- Of the noble circle
in the capital. - Exactly.

Now those people

are almost all implicated.

[Now,]

[I guess some people
are going to lose their cool.]

Chuxi, have you recovered?

Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.

I've fully recovered.

You're turning 18 soon, right?

It's time to discuss marriage.

Do you have anyone in mind for a husband?

I already have someone I admire.

But I'm too shy to tell you.

My father has already agreed after knowing.

I wonder who has won your favor?

Don't ask, Your Highness.

Chuxi, as a lady,
you should choose carefully.

It never hurts to look more.

And Xu isn't bad either.

Chuxi, think about it carefully.

Your Highness, don't you know?

Know what?

Everyone says they have already

pledged to marry privately.

That's not true.

Chuxi, where did you hear that?

This is what all the ladies
outside are saying.

Chuxi,

don't listen to the nonsense outside.

Lin Yudai is just the daughter
of a concubine.

Even if Xu fancies her,

she'll just be a concubine.

There's no need to mind it.

[So Lin Yudai hasn't won
Noble Consort Sun's favor.]

I've been busy recently

and I feel a bit tired.

Let's talk another day.

Yes.

You, Yue...

If you truly like

that Lin Yudai, you can take her
in after marriage.

Do you have to make it known to everyone?

Do you know what status Ning Chuxi has?

Do you know how much it
would benefit you to marry her?

The Crown Prince is increasingly
valued by your father.

And you're under suspicion

after he was attacked.

You're currently struggling in court.

Marrying Ning Chuxi

and having Prince Ning's support

is an entirely advantageous move for you.

Think it over carefully.

Xu.

Did your mother pressure you again?

Yudai,

I'm sorry, I...

Xu,

are you still going to marry Princess Yuexi?

Yudai.

I'm sorry.

No matter whom I marry,

the one I care for has always been you.

It's just there's no other choice.

I have to do this.

I know. I don't blame you.

As long as I can be with you,

I'm already content.

[Ning Chuxi.]
