[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 21]

He Zhaojun.

He Zhaojun, wait up.

I thought about it.

I still cannot give A'Yao to you.

Later, you will bully him again.

When I was with Lou Yao in the past, I only needed to think about whether I loved him or not.

From now on, it doesn't matter whether I love Lou Yao or not.

Before my father died, he gave me two big slaps and left me with two sentences.

First.

From now on, no one in the He family can protect me anymore.

Second.

The He family and my younger brother will depend on me in the future.

I have to survive until my little brother grows up.

Cheng Shaoshang,

I am no longer the old He Zhaojun.

I won't do things willfully.

I cannot offend anybody.

I also cannot afford to offend anyone.

I have to take care of my younger brother.

I know you are sad that you lost your father and brothers.

I truly feel sorry for you.

But A'Yao does not have feelings for you.

He should not be unhappy.

Do you think that I like A'Yao?

Aren't I giving up my own happiness for this?

Do you think that I am happy?

If my father and brothers can live in exchange,

I don't care even if there are ten thousand Lou Yaos!

Lady Ancheng need not scare Miss Cheng like this.

The Cheng and Lou families have already planned to withdraw from the marriage.

I have never seen Eleventh Young Master caring for a young lady like this.

Cheng Shaoshang,

since you have General Ling,

why do you want my Lou Yao?

You are in a cold sweat right now.

You cannot withstand the blowing wind.

Get in my carriage. I will take you home.

Listen to me.

Lady Ancheng.

Not everyone owes your family.

Your father and brothers were brave and loyal.

Now, the public pities your brother and you.

However, life is long.

Whether you make enemies everywhere

or make peace with others, it is up to you.

Lady Ancheng, conduct yourself well.

Is Fengyi Prefecture...

really so tragic like what she said?

Did the He family...

really fight to the last one?

Fengyi Prefecture...

was different from Hua County.

It's because General He risked the lives of his five sons and trusted aides.

First, he let a few of his aides defend Fengyi Prefecture.

The second day, he gathered reserve soldiers to stop the Xiao family's rebel army.

General He would rather die than surrender,

so he fought till the last person.

In the end, they protected Fengyi Prefecture.

The He family almost has no more women and children left.

Because of General He's defense,

Fengyi Prefecture was saved.

There were no remnants of the rebels scattered everywhere.

There were no homeless children there.

Not a single woman was harassed.

No hundreds and thousands of tombs outside Hua County.

And you...

no longer need to pay homage to the dead in secret.

I do not intend to urge you to withdraw from the marriage with the Lou family.

At this moment, I truly believe...

no matter what decision you make,

it will be correct.

I am just not reconciled about...

why I am always the unlucky one.

Why... Why is it me every time?

[Marquis Quling's Manor]

Thank you for escorting me home, General Ling.

Rest well after you go back.

Didn't you leave with He Zhaojun?

Why did you come back with General Ling?

He Zhaojun took me to the Ministry of Justice

and observed Prince Xiao's execution.

What!

She took you to see Prince Xiao's execution.

- I will go find her right now.
- A'Yao.

We can talk about it later.

I am going back home.

Shaoshang.

It is fine.

Rest early today.

I will come to see you tomorrow.

Don't come to see me the next few days.

I want to be alone.

Shaoshang!

There are some new pastry shops in the West Market.

When you feel better, I'll take you there to eat. How about it?

Young Miss, it's already midnight. You should rest.

Everyone talks to me about righteousness and being fully considerate.

But who will be fully considerate to me?

Cheng Shaoshang, I am no longer the old He Zhaojun.

I won't do things willfully.

Do you think that I like A'Yao?

Do you think that I am happy? If my father and brothers can live in exchange,

I don't care even if there are ten thousand Lou Yaos!

Because of General He's defense,

there were no remnants of the rebels scattered everywhere.

There were no homeless children there. Not a single woman was harassed.

No hundreds and thousands of tombs outside Hua County.

And you...

no longer need to pay homage to the dead in secret.

[Marquis Quling's Manor]

Shaoshang, we agreed...

to never leave or abandon each other.

Madam, Young Master Lou is still outside and refuses to leave.

I heard.

He's quite dedicated in love.

It's a pity that he and Niao Niao are not fated to be together.

Mine. All mine.

They are all mine.

I'll see who dares to touch my treasures.

Mine. All mine.

- Mother. Mother.
- Don't touch.

They're mine!

Mother, the marriage between the Cheng and Lou families has encountered trouble.

These were sent over when the Lou family proposed marriage.

I ordered these gifts to be sealed in storage at that time.

Now, they should be inventoried clearly. If the marriage is really withdrawn,

all of these must be returned to the Lou family.

I just asked someone a few days ago to write letters to my old friends.

I told them that Niao Niao is getting married to the family of the crown prince's teacher.

All the hometown friends and neighbors heard about it and wanted to attend the wedding feast in the capital.

How can you make me, your old mother, be so embarrassed?

Mother, Niao Niao's wedding date wasn't even set, but you already told everyone.

It's the imperial court's decision whether this marriage will take place. It's not up to us.

What's it to do with them? All the lords in the imperial court have power and money.

They speak irresponsibly and don't care about how a young woman will live after being withdrawn from marriage.

Once the marriage is withdrawn, will they introduce a new match or guarantee to marry her?

Mother.

Don't worry. Niao Niao is discussing with that Lou Yao today.

We are just inventorying the gifts from the Lou family.

It's to prepare just in case. The marriage isn't withdrawn yet.

- Really?
- Yes.

- Is that true?
- Yes.

Father. Mother. Grandmother.

I've decided. I'll go to the Lou family.

I'll withdraw from marrying A'Yao.

Our Shaoshang has decided. This marriage will be called off.

If Grand Tutor still won't decide,

once we leave the Lou Manor today, I will clarify with my colleagues.

The Cheng family has visited you in person to withdraw the marriage.

But the Lou family defies General He's last wish and simply wouldn't agree.

Marquis Quling, be careful with your words. When did the Lou family

not agree to your withdrawal from the marriage?

As Grand Tutor Lou and Eldest Madam Lou don't object,

let's return the tokens from each side, then.

Shaoshang, didn't we agree that day?

As long as I don't agree, you won't retreat.

Did He Zhaojun threaten you? I will go to see her and explain clearly.

It's not He Zhaojun.

I've thought it through myself.

General He sacrificed for the country. And now, the He family

- only has He Zhaojun and her little—
- We knew about that already.

You even coaxed me, saying, "No matter how tragic He Zhaojun is,

it's a separate matter from our marriage."

To you and me,

that's true.

But to the people, to the country,

it's not true.

What's this about country and people?

All of you are talking grand virtues to mislead me.

You've always said, doing it this way is righteous.

Doing it that way is to repay benevolence.

But I'm the only one aggrieved by the He family. Only me!

No one can live the rest of my life for me.

Why must I be sacrificed?

Shaoshang, why have you also changed?

You're also forcing me.

A'Yao, come with me outside. I want to speak with you.

Shaoshang, you don't need to persuade me.

I won't agree to withdraw from the marriage.

A'Yao, I remember you told me before.

Even though you don't love He Zhaojun, General He

was loving and kind to you.

No matter how busy he was, he always found the time to teach and guide you.

He was like a father and a teacher.

That's why you really respected him.

Isn't that right?

All these years, you've tolerated He Zhaojun.

Half of it was considering grace and righteousness.

The other half was considering General He's affection for you.

Isn't that right?

You and Fifth Young Master He

were really good friends. You also told me,

he taught you archery.

Do you know how he died?

Those people shot several dozens of arrows at him.

When the body was found, it was full of holes.

There was no good flesh left.

Older Fifth Brother...

All the other men in the He family died being trampled by horses.

They died without whole corpses.

A'Yao, when we were in Hua County, we said to each other,

a man must do things by fully considering the people,

so that he doesn't feel ashamed to Heaven and Earth.

But did you know,

this time, Fengyi Prefecture's people are different from those in Hua County.

It's because General He led his five sons to rush to the forefront

and protected the people to evade calamity.

He was a great man who sacrificed for the country.

That's why the personal feelings between you and me...

are insignificant compared to him.

A'Yao, I know you feel bad.

I know that I've disappointed you.

I know it's easy to persuade people,

but you are the one who has to marry He Zhaojun.

If I could marry He Zhaojun for you, I certainly would.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Don't talk anymore.

Shaoshang,

don't be sorry to me.

You are right.

I keep saying that I want to be a man who protects people.

But I can't even endure a little bit of suffering.

Isn't it ridiculous?

A'Yao,

this is just a temporary suffering.

It won't become a lifetime of suffering.

I...

- Can I really?
- Yes, you can.

A'Yao, you really can.

Once you've married He Zhaojun, you'll not only be her husband,

you'll also be her older brother, her support.

You will cherish her and guide her.

If she ever does wrong, don't tolerate it.

If she throws temper tantrums again,

you won't endure it like in the past and let her bully you.

Do you remember?

If she messes around again,

I will take her to General He's tomb to reflect her wrongdoings.

Elders, I've thought it through.

I agree to withdraw from the marriage.

A'Yao cares for the loyal general and his good family.

They fought for the country and ended up with a broken family.

He's decided to adhere to General He's last wish to marry He Zhaojun.

Such a righteous gesture will be praised even by His Majesty.

Let's see who will dare to interfere with the Lou family's second branch?

That's right. My future wife's temper isn't very good.

I hope Eldest Uncle and Aunt will be tolerant.

Lou Yao, what do you mean?

In the next dozen years,

the He family's legacy will be under our second branch's supervision.

Let's see who will dare to bully us?

Enough. Enough. Everyone can shut up.

Let's do it as Marquis Quling said.

Bring the marriage accord and withdraw from the marriage, then.

Uncle Cheng. Aunt Cheng.

Please treat me as your own nephew from now on.

Young Master Lou, please live a good life with Lady Ancheng.

She is lonely and suffering now. Even though she looks menacing,

she is very pitiful.

If you treat her with respect and with heart,

you won't be wrong.

Shaoshang...

From now on, just call me Older Brother.

All right.

This younger sister wishes Older Brother A'Yao to be successful in everything in the future.

Once you're an official faraway, you'll spread your wings to fly high.

I also wish Younger Sister Shaoshang to meet a good husband in the future.

You will live together and love each other forever.

Who could have imagined the Lou family to not follow etiquette.

They just withdrew the marriage with the He family,

then they excitedly got engaged with the Cheng family.

Now they've withdrawn the marriage with the Cheng family.

In the blink of an eye, they'll have Miss He as their daughter-in-law again.

Isn't this laughable?

You can't blame the Lou family.

It's mainly because the He family is too pitiful.

Everyone hopes He Zhaojun will have a happy marriage.

That Miss Cheng is quite unlucky to be rejected for no reason.

How will she marry in the future?

You are so kind to worry for her.

That Fourth Miss Cheng is undisciplined and unruly.

Unlike you, poised and considerate.

You'll definitely be lucky in the future.

The Cheng family is a small household.

How can the daughter brought up by them be compared to Princess?

As I see it, in this whole world,

only our Eleventh Young Master can match up to Princess.

Grandmother has already forced His Majesty to persuade him in person.

He agreed to return to Marquis Chengyang's Manor to dine there every night.

He definitely will return today.

Really?

To help them renew their father-son relationship, you've been willing to endure humiliation.

In the capital, you must be the most aggrieved woman.

I'll find some special recipes for you.

The sooner you bear children for the marquis,

you'll have good support.

Thank you, Princess Consort.

Don't be shy.

Why don't you persuade the marquis to tell Zisheng to marry and have children soon?

He shouldn't keep fighting and killing.

Look at that He family.

So many died. So what if they have military merits?

They still have to look ashamed of joining the Lou family in marriage.

If everyone wants to survive like a coward,

that Bandit Xiao would have trampled the capital already.

And all the ladies here wouldn't be alive to gossip about other people's marriages.

Zisheng, don't be rude in front of Princess Consort Ruyang.

How does someone who stole another's husband know about etiquette?

Impudent! Madam Chunyu is your stepmother.

How dare you humiliate her! You are truly unfilial.

Old Princess Consort, recently,

I was punished by His Majesty with half a year's income from the fief. Do you know why?

Don't threaten me. I'm not Prince Yong.

I'm not a traitor. Are you going to stab me to death?

Old Princess Consort must be joking.

When did I ever say that I'd kill you?

What I meant to say is, His Majesty is fair and strict.

No matter who commits wrongdoing, if they commit it, they'll be punished.

Now that His Majesty wishes for the Lou and He families to be joined in marriage,

this matter is already decided by the imperial court.

If anyone gossips about it, that person will be a criminal.

I'm sure Old Princess Consort wouldn't want to lose

a lifetime's glory to be convicted of the crime?

Zisheng, today, Princess Consort Ruyang

and Princess Yuchang especially waited for you to return to eat together.

Why don't we eat and talk, then?

No need. I am not interested in eating with you all.

I'd like to ask you to pass a word to Marquis Chengyang.

Tell him not to bother His Majesty on every little thing from now on.

I will return to visit often on my own.

Also, none of you need to worry about Miss Cheng's marriage.

I'll be responsible for her marriage.

Such a good marriage...

is just withdrawn like that.

It's too unfair to our Cheng family.

Mother, the withdrawal of this marriage

is a big benefit to the Cheng and Lou families.

Because of your dumb reputation,

this good marriage was just withdrawn like that. Is it worth it?

I think you being an official has made you a fool!

The rice in the granary, the money in the cash box,

the soil beneath our feet, all these must be held in the hands for it to be real.

Mother, what nonsense are you saying?

How am I saying nonsense?

How am I saying nonsense?

How will Niao Niao, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse,

be selected by another marriageable family? It's so difficult.

Don't you know that it's difficult for Niao Niao to marry again in the future?

That emperor is clearly bullying our family for not having anyone important.

Be careful of people hearing behind the walls.

If someone hears you discrediting the emperor, you'll be beheaded.

No, I-I-I just feel bad for my own granddaughter, do I need to be beheaded for it?

You don't say it. I don't say it.

How will the emperor know what I said?

Old Madam. Master. There are visitors from the palace.

Are they coming to catch me? I was just saying nonsense.

I was just saying nonsense.

What did the visitors say?

They said there is a decree from the emperor for Madam and Master to bring the young masters and ladies

together to go to Tugao Mountain for a religious ceremony.

That's great. These days Niao Niao has been sullen due to the marriage withdrawal.

I was racking my brain on where to take her to get some fresh air.

- Quick, bring me to thank the emperor.
- "Master and Madam"?

Young masters and ladies? Why am I not invited?

His Majesty didn't say you're invited.

To defy the imperial decree, the crime is punishable by...

You're an unfilial son!

Sister Shaoshang!

I was just wondering why I didn't see you at the worship ceremony.

So you've been hiding here. You didn't see how lively it was just now.

His Majesty, Empress, Imperial Consort Yue, and those princes and princesses,

and those noble ladies that you usually don't see, they were all there.

Why didn't you go?

I was feeling tired and wanted to rest.

This is a rare chance to come. It's not worthwhile to stay inside the tent.

Marquis Ban has prepared horseback riding and archery in the field behind the hill. There'll be food and games.

I don't know him. I don't feel like going.

Marquis Ban wants to introduce his great-grandson, Young Marquis Ban, to everyone.

That's why he invited the young masters and ladies.

However, Marquis Ban is really quite pitiful.

His family suffered deaths during the wartimes.

All the sons and daughters died. Even all five grandsons died.

Ban Jia is his only bloodline.

He is cherished like a piece of treasure.

He is now of marriageable age. This is his first time away from home.

He doesn't even know the roads inside the capital.

He is also from a family of heroes,

a little like He Zhaojun's family background.

Why do you mention her?

Sister Qiqi, why don't you go ahead?

I will stay with Niao Niao here.

Stay... Stay how? If you aren't happy, you should find fun things to do.

- Go, go, go.
- I won't...
- Go, go, go.

- I don't want to go.
- Hurry and go.

Let's hurry.

Shaoshang, you sit here. Yang Yang, you sit over there.

- Good! Good!
- Someone!

Take my purse over there.

What's so fun about just watching?

Why don't we guess who will win?

This princess will have a big prize for the winner.

Look. Fifth Princess spends the most lavishly.

Among these princes and princesses,
[Fifth Princess]

she was born after the empire was won.

Plus, she is the empress' youngest daughter, so she is the most pampered.

She and Wang Ling are close. When you see them,

you should avoid them.

Young Master Zhao wins. Fifth Princess rewards him 100 taels of silver.

And the one next to her, that's Third Princess.

Her mother is Imperial Consort Yue.

She is the most greedy for money.

I heard that when she was born,

she was cast away to be raised by her maternal third uncle, Young Marquis Yue.
[Third Princess]

She was raised to look so shallow, like a businessperson.

Good!

Fifth Sister, if Imperial Mother finds out

that you are betting on games on a ceremonial day,

she would be unhappy.

I'm just adding some fun.

Don't be so nervous.

Besides, everyone in the palace knows that Crown Princess Consort doesn't have much money.

I didn't ask you to pay. Look at how you feel hurt

as if you've never been out to see the outside.

Fifth Sister, which young master do you want

to summon back to your manor as an adviser?

Imperial Father has already decided on the marriage between the Xuan and Yue clans.

You'll be marrying my older cousin soon.

Don't offend my older cousin over this.

You should know that my older cousin is really stingy.

Why don't you think about what to do with

your roomful of advisers?

Third Sister, if you don't want to watch archery,

why not go and play chess with Third Prince Consort?

If you ask me, among all the princesses,

only Second Princess...
[Second Princess]

Second Princess is the most calm and steady.

Did you know? Just now in the worship ceremony,

if Second Princess and Empress didn't stop them,

those two...

almost got into a physical fight over who could stand in the front.

Look at that one who doesn't wear much jewelry. That's the Crown Princess Consort.

She was selected for the crown prince before His Majesty won the empire.
[Crown Princess Consort]

They say her family is really poor

and is actually from the countryside.

Your mouth will cause trouble sooner or later.

Niao Niao isn't entering the palace. How is she going to meet these noble ladies?

Don't talk about these unspoken stories with her.

Look! That's Young Master Chen!

It is said that his archery is among the best in the capital.

That's considered good?

I can close my eyes and shoot better with my foot.

Forget about it.
