> King is Not Easy Recap
Ji Man told Shao Yong that he wanted Wu Shuangzong Ji to feel grateful to him before releasing her. Shao Yong was very worried about Wu Shuangzong Ji and pestered Ji Man to quickly find a way. Da Xi saw Shao Yong and Ji Man pulling and tugging, mistakenly thinking that the two had developed an ambiguous relationship. She was especially happy and wanted to thank Ji Man, so she made something delicious for him.
The two ate happily together, feeding each other a bite. Passing maids saw this and were envious, gossiping about it behind their backs. The Empress Dowager summoned the King's four consorts to understand whether the King had recently spent the night with any of them. She asked the four consorts some questions. After the Q&A session, the Empress Dowager was very angry with the four consorts' answers.
She didn't expect these four consorts to be so useless, none of them were able to capture the King's heart. She warned the four consorts that if they failed to win the King's heart again, they would be expelled from the palace. After speaking, the Empress Dowager got up and returned to her palace. On the way, she encountered several maids gossiping about Da Xi and the King's relationship.
The Empress Dowager ordered someone to investigate Da Xi's background, and found out that Da Xi was an orphan and a cook. The Empress Dowager disliked Da Xi's background, but under the guidance of a palace maid, she agreed to Da Xi as a candidate for consort, but needed to train her.
She summoned Ji Man and asked Ji Man to come to Phoenix Palace at mao shi (5-7 am) every day to learn the rules until he passed the test. On his first day of learning the rules at Phoenix Palace, Ji Man was late. Qiu Shui reminded him that punctuality was a must. She hit Ji Man's palm a few times with a ruler to show the punishment for being late.
After the punishment, Qiu Shui began to teach Ji Man palace etiquette, but just as she started, Ji Man remembered that he had an appointment with Shao Yong, so he said he had an appointment and had to leave. But Qiu Shui didn't let him go, saying that he could only leave after learning the rules. Ji Man briefly did some palace etiquette, and even did some things that Qiu Shui hadn't even taught yet, very standardly.
Qiu Shui was very surprised after seeing this, after all, she didn't know that Da Xi was Ji Man at this time, so she let Ji Man leave. After Ji Man left Phoenix Palace, he came to see Shao Yong and told Shao Yong that only the King's pardon could free Wu Shuangzong Ji from the slave labor.
What he needed to do now was to find a way to get the King to pardon Wu Shuangzong Ji, and also make Zong Ji feel that Shao Yong had pleaded for her. Suddenly, a guard came to report that Wu Shuangzong Ji had been injured in the slave labor. Da Xi and Shao Yong rushed to the slave labor.
Shao Yong saw Wu Shuangzong Ji lying on the ground and wanted to help her work, but Wu Shuangzong Ji refused. Shao Yong had no choice but to ask the warden to take care of Wu Shuang, but the warden said he needed money to bribe him before he would help. Shao Yong felt his body and had no silver on him. He thought of borrowing from Ji Man.
In order to test Shao Yong's heart for Wu Shuangzong Ji, Ji Man pretended to have no money, and also gave Shao Yong an idea, asking Shao Yong to help the eunuchs and maids with their work to earn monthly money. But no matter what Shao Yong did, Ji Man deliberately made things difficult for him, making him unable to do it well.
After several tests, Ji Man determined that Shao Yong was a reliable person and felt relieved to hand Wu Shuang over to him. At the same time, he also arranged for people from the slave labor to help take care of Wu Shuang. At night, Wu Shuangzong Ji saw Shao Yong's conversation with the slaves and learned that this was all a set-up deliberately set by Shao Yong to help her change her savage character.
At this time, Ji Man came over and told Wu Shuangzong Ji that Shao Yong went to work hard for her, regardless of everything. After hearing this, Wu Shuangzong Ji's tears couldn't help but burst out. Ji Man called Shao Yong to the training ground. Ji Man walked to Da Xi's side and offered her a plan, asking Da Xi to compete with Shao Yong in riding, and then pretend to fall off her horse.
Shao Yong would definitely save her. In order to repay Shao Yong's life-saving grace, she would promise Shao Yong a condition. Shao Yong would definitely ask the King to betroth Da Xi to him. Wouldn't Shao Yong then be easily obtained? Da Xi was very happy after hearing this and agreed to Ji Man. But as a result, Shao Yong's request was not what Ji Man said, but to release Wu Shuangzong Ji and betroth Wu Shuangzong Ji to him.
Da Xi wanted to refuse, but Ji Man walked over and added, "A king's words are final, you can't go back on your word." Da Xi had no choice but to agree. Seeing that the plan was successful, Ji Man and Shao Yong made a gesture of success, which happened to be seen by Da Xi. Da Xi angrily returned to Longde Hall.
