but for the unpleasant,

he takes the Gyeonghwa Gate.

Also,

he never lets those he loves

be in the same place as

those he disfavors.

As such, the King is unfathomably blatant

in how he expresses

his love and resentment.

You, Crown Princess shall tread carefully

to avoid falling out of favor.

So whimsical...

Your Highness,

take heed not to upset

the elders of the royal court.

Always tread carefully then,

even more carefully.

Father,

Mother...

Your Highness,

don't cry on such a joyous day.

Let her cry.

Grow, Magical Staff!

People envy us for

becoming the King's in-laws

but we should be on guard

to protect our clan.

Your Highness.

Qing Emperor has sent this puppy

as your wedding gift.

What is your name?

Do you know how great Father is?

He surpasses any courtiers even in studies.

Do not fear him though.

You have me to rely on.

You have passed Father's test.

I can guarantee.

Yes, my Lord.

Keep still, Mong.

My Lady, can you hold him still?

I am blessed with such a beautiful wife!

Always serve your husband with a smile.

It's time to study, Your Highness.

The path cannot be diverted at any time.

If it can be diverted, it is not the path.

Nothing is more visible than the hidden

and nothing is more apparent

than the subtle.

Therefore, a man of integrity

is cautious even more when alone.

Pass.

Pass? Did you say pass?

A man of integrity is cautious even

at a place where he is not seen,

and is apprehensive

even where he is not heard.

He skipped a whole phrase, not a word.

Yet, you say pass?

He is the future King and

the root of the kingdom.

How can you act this way

unless you wish to ruin this country?

This is a book I stayed up all night

to transcribe for your studies.

If you can't even memorize this,

what could you possibly learn?

How many times in a year

do you think about studying?

Once or twice, Sire.

What?

Sir, how can you specifically say

once or twice?

Your Highness is too modest.

Teacher, I know my own heart.

Is that so?

Good for being so honest!

When I was your age,

I was afraid that something may

hinder my studies.

But you, in this fortunate condition,

neglect your studies.

The Crown Prince is not very

fond of strict books of codes,

- but novels like 'Journey to the West'...

- What?

You're letting the Crown Prince

read such rubbish?

Your Majesty, I beg you to watch him

with patience and affection

for he has excellent disposition...

How can you say that

looking at his tanned face

from playing outside all day!

Playing is a pleasure of a moment,

but learning offers a pleasure of a lifetime.

You have nothing to say

but to stare at me?
