It's Not Easy Being King (King is Not Easy / Da Wang Bu Rong Yi / 大王不容易)

Hurry and come to bed. I've... been waiting for so long.

- What's so funny? - Nothing. Continue, Your Highness.

That's insanely inappropriate.

You should do it like this. Watch me.

When you consider the world from this perspective

you realize how wonderful it is.

Da Xi!

All right, that's enough for today.

Do you remember everything I've said?

I...

I'm going to go back and think it over. Being a woman is so hard.

But Your Majesty, why are you such an expert?

I know how to be in two places at once.

You can leave now.

I'm so tired.

So tired!

Ni Chang is selfish and doesn't have half a brain.

Why are you spending so much time with her?

So my life can be easier!

It's my body that suffers if she doesn't get things straight.

Just wait.

After I train her, you're going to love her.

I doubt it.

I wouldn't even have ran into you back then if it wasn't for her.

I wouldn't have gone from being a King to being a palace maid

that everyone steps on.

Just the sight of her pisses me off. And you keep asking her to come!

Can't you just shut your eyes?

You're really milking the King thing now, aren't you?

Keep in mind who you really are.

Okay.

Forgive me, forgive me. Happy?

Although really... You never had much luck as a woman.

How do you have the confidence to teach someone else?

That's what confidence is.

- Doesn't this feel good? - I suppose.

What's going on?

My stomach hurts...

I feel like I'm being weighted down by stones.

You're not dying, are you?

Don't be so dramatic. It's just that time of month.

I'm going to get some stuff for you.

What in the world... Hurry up!

Come, sit.

Take this and ask the other maids to teach you how to use it.

Don't catch a cold, don't drink cold water.

Otherwise you're going to suffer.

This harlot is seducing His Majesty behind my back again.

This can't go on. I need to figure out a way to get rid of her.

I'm leaving.

Am I going to die if I'm supposed to bleed every month?

My stomach hurts. My back hurts. My head hurts.

When is this going to be over?

And this plant ash...

As a man, this is so humiliating.

Xiao Yu.

Why are you here?

His Majesty bid me to take care of you.

This is the ginger soup he had me prepare

along with a warm decanter.

Here, finish the soup first.

Now hold this.

His Majesty wants you to remember not to catch a cold.

Da Xi, you're so fortunate.

Now that you have His Majesty's favor...

I'm sure you'll be promoted very soon.

She's not that great.

She just wants me to take care of her body.

Huh, what?

Please give His Majesty my gratitude.

You should rest now. I'll be spending a few days here.

Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you, Xiao Yu.

Who are you?

I serve the ancestral rooms.

His Majesty is summoning you.

That hypocrite just told me to get proper rest.

Now he wants me to rush to the ancestral rooms?

What a horrible liar.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Men, grab her.

What a pity it would be if your pretty little face were to be destroyed!

If it were to be destroyed...

I dare you.

- What if I tell His Majesty? - Go on.

You think you're going to leave this place alive today?

Your Highness... you've gotten it all wrong.

I actually do not even like men.

His Majesty is aware of the fact.

That is why he has me serve him.

His Majesty was afraid you'd be upset.

All of my interactions with him were part of his plan

to see how much you really love him.

- Is that for real? Really? - A hundred percent.

Let her go.

Can you tell me what else His Majesty said to you?

He said...

You're stupid. And an idiot. And selfish.

And lecturing you is just a waste of time.

You-- You're lying!

You... You...

Guards! Take her down!

Stupid servant, you just wait.

I'm going to find His Majesty to deal with you!

You are so, so dead today!

Your Highness, what's wrong?

And Da Xi. Aren't you on leave?

Your Majesty!

Your maid here not only spoke to me rudely... she also hit me!

There were so many witnesses.

You must take my side this time.

Da Xi, didn't I tell you to rest? Why aren't you resting?

I wanted to rest too.

If someone hadn't impersonated His Majesty and summoned me...

why in the world would I go to the ancestral rooms? I'm not insane.

Ni Chang. What is going on?

I... I just wanted to ask Da Xi what your interests were.

I didn't think she'd be so rude and even hit me!

That's because you wanted to disfigure me!

If it weren't for my quick thinking... this face? It'd be gone.

Ni Chang... you wanted to disfigure her?

You've always been so kind and virtuous in my heart!

You...

I am incredibly disappointed in you.

Leave. I don't want to see you.

- Your Majesty, don't be angry. I just-- - Shen Jia!

Your Majesty, don't be angry! It was just a joke! I...

- Are you okay? - Yes, your face is all right.

That's good.

I really didn't expect Ni Chang to turn out like that.

Don't worry, I'm going to get someone to watch her.

You? Forget it. You're completely unreliable.

Besides, I've already selected someone.

So don't worry about it.

You have? Who?

I'm not telling.

It's killing you, isn't it?

You're so stingy!

Madam Su, you see, my mother doesn't like any of the girls that you've found.

So...

I've been a matchmaker for so many years.

Don't worry. I find someone for everyone.

I'll find a girl for you even if I have to go through the entire city.

- Then I'm counting on you. - All right, I'm leaving.

Okay.

Get out of the way! Please stop!

Brilliant!

Are you all right?

- Warrior, you were amazing. - Thank you.

How old are you? Do you have a wife?

I have just turned 20, and am yet to be married.

Great! I've decided on you then.

Princess, are you all right?

- Princess? - She's a Princess?

I am His Majesty's elder sister, Princess Wu Shuang.

Not long ago, a master told me I'd meet my fated one.

Looks like he was right!

Since you're the right age and you're not married...

How about I marry you?

Marriage has to be dictated by parents and matchmakers.

I cannot make this decision.

Furthermore... my mother is incredibly picky.

Could I trouble you to speak with her first?

Mother, I still haven't introduced you.

This is Princess Wu Shuang. I happened upon her in the streets.

She came here just to see you.

Princess? Princess is good. It's great.

Your house is way too small and old.

How am I supposed to live my life out here?
