Episode synopsis
KING SUEN finds something in the cakes CHUN sent. He visits her at the Western Palace right away. LADY TSU has been staying at her sister’s for a few days now but LORD SHUN YEUNG never visits her. LAI, her brother-in-law, is of the view that she should support LORD SHUN YEUNG. CHUN and SHUN-CHI decide to teach LADY TSU a good lesson with ointment. To thank her for her contribution to the state, QUEEN DOWAGER intends to erect a statue to YIM. YIM suggests holding a “Virtuous and Talented Woman Contest”. YIM’s birthmark is ulcerating. She tells KING SUEN it is the result of the ointment he gave her. It turns out that LADY TSU is to blame. CHUN wins her trust by defending her. The “Statue of Virtue and Talent” has been made. KING SUEN finds that it looks too much like YIM. He tells the craftsmen to make another one in reference to CHUN’s looks.
About Queens of Diamonds and Hearts
When the Qi Kingdom becomes dangerously overrun with political strife, ancient guardian spirits attempt to restore order by pairing incompetent King Chai with Chung Mo Yim, a smart and skilled shaman. Meanwhile, a rebel faction attempts to pair the king with Ha Ying Chun - resulting in King Chai naming both Mo Yim and Ying Chun queens. But as disaster unfolds, each time the king tries to please beautiful Ying Chun, it's up to Mo Yim to clean up the mess.
