[Love Like the Galaxy 2: Episode 2]

What is this smell?

This is a calming fragrance that's newly blended in the palace.

Whatever smell that you prefer, just say it.

From now on, you can take a break here during your study in the palace.

Empress, you especially cleared this place just for me to take a nap?

Isn't it wasteful?

Young women should get tender care.

For you to leave home and come to the palace to study the rules from me,

it's already hard on you.

If I can't let you feel comfortable without worries,

wouldn't I feel bad toward your parents who miss you day and night?

Take a look around. If anything needs to be added, just say it.

Oh, yes. I heard Zisheng say that you enjoy tinkering with craftsmen's drawings.

I've ordered Nanny Zhai to place a long desk here

to be specially used by you to make drawings.

Empress, even at home, my mother never treated me this well.

So you don't need to bother with these things, Empress.

Your mother is a female general who has been to the battlefields.

She is decisive in fighting.

When it comes to teaching the children, she is likely to be more strict.

Just now, I filed a complaint to His Majesty about your niece.

Won't you blame me, Empress?

I won't.

Is it because I'm General Ling's wife-to-be?

That's why you extend your affection for him to me?

Not entirely so.

A young lady who is loved by Zisheng

naturally arouses my curiosity and fondness.

Furthermore, I heard that you had a difficult childhood

but still have become so smart and sensible.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to treat you well, and even more.

When was I ever smart and sensible?

I just filed a complaint against Wang Ling.

I've probably caused huge trouble for Empress already.

Ling'er has her maternal Qian'an royal clan to support her.

She hasn't suffered much grievance and disrespect since childhood.

But you are different.

You didn't grow up by your parents' side since childhood.

You endured much suffering under your grandmother and aunt.

I went through the same circumstances.

I know it's difficult to survive.

I can't help but feel pity for you and give you preference.

Even if there is a little unruliness in your words,

I don't feel offended.

Do you understand why I favor you in my heart?

Thank you, Empress.

I understand now.

You filed a complaint against Wang Ling today. It wasn't just to shake off her pestering, was it?

Clearly you were testing Empress and His Majesty

to see how they really treat you, like throwing a stone to explore the road?

I'll have to live under Empress's rules going forward.

If I don't know the opposition as I know myself, how can I win?

So, have you seen Empress's temperament clearly?

Empress is really a very nice, super nice person.

Even though she told me that she is favoring me because she pities my childhood suffering,

I didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Do you know the feeling of being given preferential love?

But Empress is so caring to me even though she doesn't know my character.

She is really softhearted.

Sometimes, it's not good to be too softhearted.

Why do you say that?

Later on, if you want to understand His Majesty and Empress's temperaments, just ask me.

Don't risk yourself anymore.

But I also wanted to use the opportunity for them to know what kind of person I am.

In my whole life, I've always disliked those who simply go with the blowing wind and the flowing water.

Even if I die from fighting with all my strength,

I wouldn't want to sit helplessly and wait for death.

Have you heard any stories about me?

I grew up in Changqiu Palace.

So?

Do you really want to understand...

what kind of person I am?

What kind of person are you?

Come with me.

Your leg...

Ling Buyi, I can't run anymore.

When I was little, I often stood here

to look at the lights from the countless houses, like brilliant starlight.

At that time, I wasn't even as tall as this wall.

I had to climb to the top of the wall to be able to see.

At that time, I wondered longingly.

Among these bright lights,

if there is a single light

that truly belonged to me, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Isn't that easy?

It's not easy.

It really isn't easy.

Niao Niao, do you know why I joined the army?

I heard that, ever since childhood, you've admired your maternal uncle, General Huo.

I joined the army, first, to repay His Majesty's grace in raising me.

Second, I hoped that, by being on the battlefield,

I could always protect the galaxy in the mortal world behind me.

What's the matter?

Come closer so that I can see better.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at the starlight in your eyes.

Let's get closer, then.

You can see even better.

See what better?

See the brightest star in my eyes.

That is you.

Who's there?

Someone's here. Let's hurry and leave.

Why leave?

- General Ling.
- Did you see anything just now?

We-We didn't see anything.

You saw nothing?

Then, see it again.

Hurry and leave!

Hurry and leave!

Why are you looking like this?

Could it be, His Majesty blames you for causing Ling Buyi to fall off his horse,

and wants to punish us, Cheng Clan?

Then should we hurry and pack our valuables to flee in the night?

His Majesty did not blame me.

Then, why do you look so startled?

With your face red and neck thickened? (T/N: meaning anxious and angry)

Saying my face is red is enough,

why would you say a young lady's neck is thick? For what purpose?

It's because tomorrow I will enter the palace to learn etiquette, so it's not unusual for me to be anxious.

Starting tomorrow you will enter the palace to learn etiquette?

That's wonderful!

I mean, it's too unfortunate.

Leaving home every day to learn lessons, is so pitiful.

Take care. I will sleep first.

What now?

Second Brother, have you...

ever been kissed before?

Someone! Someone!

Why are you asking about this?

Have you found–

You can't say it. Did you hear me?

Of course, I won't say anything.

But you know–

Hiding this from our mother and father is not an easy task.

Mother's eyes are so sharp,

- if she finds out–
- If you don't want to die, you must not say a thing.

Right. If you say anything, death is the only option.

You don't say anything. I won't say anything.

- Good brother.
- Good sister.

- Loyal indeed.
- Loyal indeed.

Second Brother, have you...

been kissed before?

Why did he cover his mouth?

Seeing what more clearly?

See the brightest star in my eyes.

That is you.

Young Miss!

Young Miss! It's already morning, why are you not getting up?

Young Miss, you must rise now.

Young Miss, hurry and get up!

General Ling's carriage is already outside waiting.

You must enter the palace today and learn etiquette from the empress. You must not be late.

Young Miss, get up!

Whenever Young Miss has to study, you never get a good night's rest.

Luckily, your maid has prepared for this.

Lian Fang, you are more and more meticulous now.

You must be worried that I'll get up too early to eat.

And that I'll be hungry to go learn, so you prepared these. Right?

No, these are to nourish your brain!

Otherwise, you can't return even when it's dark.

Brother, why must we get up so early?

Yesterday, Young Lord took a stroll under the moonlight until midnight.

I accompanied him the whole time and didn't sleep a wink. So sleepy.

Isn't this the first time Young Lord kissed a young lady? He's excited.

In the future, you will too.

In order to sleep in just a bit longer,

I can sacrifice kissing a young lady for the rest of my life.

Then you can stop dreaming. From now on, we must get up early.

What? Why?

Because someone is worried about his bride.

Spare me! These types of days,

when will they be over?

Etiquette is the code of conduct, like how people have to wear shoes properly.
(From an ancient Chinese dictionary, Shuowen Jiezi)

It stems from worshiping deities properly to asking for blessings.

So as to express reverence and upright bearing.

So as how everyone should speak.

Hence, there's respect and tolerance. These are known as rites and succeeding etiquette.

General Ling's carriage is already outside waiting.

Young Miss, get up!

Please follow me to bow respectfully with bare hands.

Bow mutually with bare hands.

- Respectfully.
- Mutually.

- Respectfully.
- Respect...

Young Miss, hurry and get up!

A jade stone is cut by following its veins. The laws are supported by the following reason.

The reason is supported by the following law.

Bian, a bamboo woven container.

- It holds dates and chestnuts.
- It holds dates and chestnuts.

These are the words you copied incorrectly. I helped you circle them.

I got that many wrong?

You never learned how to write when you were younger.

Now that you are learning at the age of fifteen, it will naturally be more difficult.

If you got them wrong, simply write them again.

Whenever I see these sages' books,

I can't help but feel sleepy.

A lot of the principles in literature aren't things you would understand with your age in the first place.

You don't understand it. Naturally, it won't be fun for you when you learn.

Some books are read for the sake of others.

Are they really of use to us? No.

So those young ladies often use these to mock me.

They say I'm incompetent. Actually, it's not really my problem.

Right?

I still have not solved

this nine rings puzzle.

I know how to.

It's opened.

Empress, this is the mechanism that I designed.

I'm good at poetry and literature. You're good at mechanics.

Look, this is...

Everybody has something that they are good at.

This is a small crossbow that I made.

Things that others don't know how to do, you know.

Things that others know how to do, I'll slowly teach you. You'll know soon.

A wash basin device.

A wash basin device.

You don't need to feel inferior.

You can hold your head up high.

How are you worse than them?

Not only do I know mechanics,

I know other things, too. Empress, do you want to find out?

Miss Cheng.

Miss Cheng, you're too ridiculous.

How can you step on Empress's body?

I'm helping Empress loosen her back.

Empress said her lower back is uncomfortable. This method can help to relax her muscles so that they are not tightened.

You can ask Empress if she feels better?

It's much more relaxed indeed.

- I didn't expect Lady Shaoshang to have this skill.
- Relax.

Younger Sister Shaoshang, teach me some other day. I also want to learn it.

Miss Luo wants to learn, is it to serve her husband when she marries to the northwest?

Nanny Zhai, don't make fun of me.

If I can, I really want to stay by Empress's side to serve her like Miss Cheng.

It's better than marrying far away to the northwest and being separated from my family.

Speaking of which, I really envy Miss Cheng for having such good luck.

Miss Luo is the first person to say that I'm a lucky person.

Miss Cheng can marry a young hero like General Ling.

You don't know how many girls in the whole capital are envious.

Actually, Miss Luo, you don't need to feel sorry for yourself.

The Jia family is also a rich and influential family in the northwest. When you marry into the family,

you will be the madam in charge. Your life won't be bad.

Don't you dare stop me!

How can His Majesty reprimand my Ling'er?

Who's making a ruckus outside?

Just listen and you'll know that it's Lady Wenxiu. Why is she here?

Which Lady Wenxiu?

Empress's younger cousin, Lady Wenxiu.

She's the mother of Miss Wang whom you reported.

Then isn't she here to kick up a fuss?

If you are a minister in the palace, you would definitely be a crafty minister.

I just said the truth. The palace is a forbidden place. You're not allowed to come unless you are summoned.

How can she just come like that? It's simply an added offense.

What an imposing tone!

You are Miss Cheng?

You were born with good looks. You relied on your beauty to seduce Zisheng, right?

You entered Changqiu Palace for just a few days.

And you learned Empress's

method of shutting the door to people well.

Shaoshang.

The furnishings here are plain and shabby.

Seems like Aunt didn't treat you well.

I lived in the palace when I was young. I used gold lacquerware,

thin silk brocade, and phoenix rhinoceros incense.

I drank...

Zisheng specially asked someone to send this cup.

Your hands don't feel hot, right?

Of course, fine ceramics are better than lacquerware. Naturally, your hands don't feel hot.

And this cushion was also sent by Zisheng.

He's afraid that when I kneel down to learn all day, my knees will hurt.

He specially sent an even softer one over.

This is the same as the one in my house.

I am used to it.

Cheng Shaoshang.

Don't keep saying Zisheng.

You only found a good husband. Do you need to gloat?

Naturally, I need to gloat.

If I don't gloat, how will you and your mother be so angry?

You–

Shameless.

Miss Wang,

if I say it, you might not believe it.

But I actually like you.

It's too late for you to be currying my favor.

Because you're stupid.

I like you...

because you're stupid enough.

The moment you open your mouth, you give others a chance to hold something against you.

Since the moment I met you at my house, I thought you should learn one thing. To shut up.

His Majesty has always been frugal.

It's not like I haven't seen Her Majesty's chamber.

Where are those golden lacquerware and thin silk brocade that you speak of? Are you telling lies with your eyes open?

Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will reprimand you for extravagant living?

Those were originally the furnishings in the old palace. No money from the national treasury was used.

All this time you've been talking, so they aren't yours?

I'm too lazy to waste my breath with you. Hurry and get out.

Who said it's not mine?

Do you know that the living expenses for the Qian'an royal clan

should have been more abundant than this palace?

My maternal grandfather was the ancestor of the Wen Clan and an important minister in the previous dynasty.

Starting with the ancestors, they were already among the richest in the country and owned an army of over 10,000.

His Majesty was originally childhood sweethearts with Consort Yue.

He only married Empress who was sheltered at my grandfather's house in order to make an alliance.

It's a pity,

since the Battle at Lone City,

my grandfather died.

My clan...

plummeted in influence.

That's how its become...

An outdated royal clan.

You are so protective of this Miss Cheng.

The moment I came, you sent her away.

What? Are you afraid that I'll teach her a lesson for Ling'er?

I don't know what you see in this Miss Cheng.

Uneducated and vulgar.

Some women are quite pitiful.

The husband doesn't love her, her son is incapable,

and her daughter-in-law isn't good.

Even her daughter lacks virtues.

She can only use all her kind affection on an outsider.

Younger Sister holds grievances in your heart,

so you specially came to humiliate me?

I don't have any grievances.

I'm also not here to cause you trouble for the Wang family.

Today, I came here today for my little brother, Young Prince Qian'an.

My little brother sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that life in Shouchun is hard.

He wants to mint some coins in his feudal territory to use.

Our Qian'an royal clan, in supporting His Majesty's founding venture,

has only this one son left after all the deaths.

Such trivial matters, I believe Her Majesty won't decline.

I never inquire about matters of the court.

Younger Sister came to the wrong person.

What do you mean not inquiring?

Do you remember the grace from our Qian'an royal clan from years ago?

When your father died, my family took you in!

Younger Sister, you should speak cautiously.

What speaking cautiously! You speak cautiously!

I never used to quarrel with you about this. Do you really think being the Mother of the State is all that? (Empress)

Xuan Shen'an, just because you are the empress now,

you think you can ignore and dismiss me?

Nanny Zhai, what's going on?

Her Majesty and Lady Wenxiu are in a dispute.

Her Majesty ordered us to close the chamber doors. No one is allowed inside.

Everyone praises you as gentle, kind, and respectful. I spit on that!

I should let all of them see your ungrateful face!

Back then, you and your mother and younger brother

sought shelter in my family. I treated you well.

I shared all the delicious foods and beautiful garments with you.

My father even treated you as his own daughter.

Even in picking a husband, he chose the best for you!

He is now the emperor.

Did you forget it all?

I shall never dare to forget the deep kindness and benevolence from Uncle.

But my father died! He's dead!

Our subordinates and soldiers either died or dispersed.

The influence he had, while he was alive, collapsed.

I am only left with a younger brother.

He's even set up as a living sign for His Majesty.
(Having only title but no actual power or influence)

To say he is alive, he only has one breath more than a dead person.

It's all so that people won't say His Majesty is ungrateful.

Miss Cheng!

And you! You are an ingrate!

Mother! Mother!

Shaoshang, your hand is hurt.

Hurry and get Imperial Physician Sun to come and take a look.

Quit pretending!

Empress wants to get the Imperial Physician?

Fine.

Why not open the palace door? Shout and let everyone hear.

Let all the eunuchs see.

How many dirty things are hidden by the master of the palace?

Do you really not know why Empress wanted to shut the door and not let everyone come in?

- Shaoshang.
- Do you think Empress is afraid of you?

She is protecting you.

If any word of the crazy nonsense you said leaks out,

do you think you and your children would live?

Just a simple death.

Why would I, Lady Wenxiu, be scared?

If you aren't scared of death, why come to Changqiu Palace?

Go ahead and go to His Majesty. Reason with him. Seek your death.

Why make it difficult for our empress?

What a sharp-tongued little girl!

Sure enough, you're the kind that's liked by that rascal.

Your minds think the same.

I'm not scared of death.

His Majesty also won't let me die.

I only wanted to see

whether our noble empress had forgotten my father's benevolence.

Give grace without expecting a return. Even a lowly, vulgar person like me

understands this principle, but Lady Wenxiu doesn't understand.

I wonder, when Old Prince Qian'an saved his sister's family back then,

did he expect to be repaid later?

That Old Prince Qian'an was really something.

Why didn't he let his own daughter marry His Majesty?

Oh, that's right.

No one could have predicted who would win the empire.

Naturally, he couldn't let his own daughter marry His Majesty.

How dare you ridicule me!

Shaoshang, don't be rude.

That wasn't why. My grandfather and His Majesty have the same ancestry.

So that's why.

So, you and His Majesty are cousins with the same grandfather.

Obviously, you couldn't marry each other.

It wasn't because Old Prince Qian'an favored Empress.

It's because you couldn't marry His Majesty, that's why he let Empress marry His Majesty.

On this matter, Empress doesn't owe you anything.

Xuan Shen'an, you'd stand by and let her ridicule me?

Don't make it difficult for Empress!

I said what I said. If you think I told the truth and offended you,

that's a big mistake.

I am a vulgar person.

The entire capital knows.

Lady Wenxiu is a noble person who should be tolerant. Don't be at the same low level as I am.

Cheng Shaoshang,

who do you think you are?

Even your future husband is just a child borne by an abandoned and crazy woman.

Even though he was brought up in the palace since childhood,

he actually thinks he is a real prince?

Zisheng's meritorious achievement and glory

came from his fighting with real swords and blades on the battlefield.

He didn't get preferential favors from His Majesty.

It's still better than some people

who cling to Old Prince Qian'an's merits and behave wildly in Changqiu Palace.

Impudent!

A little girl who has just entered the palace and received a few days of training,

you don't know much about the rules in the palace,

yet you dare to lecture me?

Today, I'll let you learn

the number one rule in the palace: The imperial family is the most noble, and

the common people are inferior and lowly.

Stop!

Xuan Shen'an, you won't give my brother the authority to mint coins.

You also stop me from teaching this stupid maidservant a lesson.

I've known that you were an ungrateful person

who would pull the ladder after climbing up.

- You–
- That's enough!

- Your Majesty, please pardon me for not welcoming you in advance.
- Shen'an.

No need for formalities.

Are you all right?

I just heard Lady Wenxiu repeatedly reminding Empress

not to forget Old Prince Qian'an's benevolence.

Is that true?

What? Uncle Xuan died early on.

My father had sympathy for the widowed aunt and raised her daughter and son.

Can I not even talk about this benevolence?

Between relatives, how can you count the mutual grace and affection?

In the very beginning, Lady Wenxiu's grandfather encountered a disaster.

At that time, he survived the dire straits relying totally upon the Xuan Clan's strong support.

Afterward, when Old Prince Qian'an helped the Xuan family during the chaotic wartime, it was also repaying benevolence.

This back-and-forth grace, will Lady Wenxiu keep bringing it up?

Your Majesty.

Back then, my father died by saving the lone city.

Several tens of my brothers and sisters got dispersed.

Only my little brother remains.

Today, I came to plead to Empress to give a little care.

Did I do wrong?

If you needed to make a request,

why didn't you ask General of Chariots and Cavalry to submit a request

in the imperial court?

You chose to make it difficult for Empress in Changqiu Palace.

You knew that Empress

would continue to tolerate and forgive you.

The disrespect you showed Empress today

is conduct unbecoming and against etiquette.

What crime should you be convicted of?

Your Majesty, I don't feel well.

Let's stop here for today.

No!

It can't stop! Let her speak.

I see that Lady Wenxiu

still looks unfinished with her intention.

Lady Wenxiu, you can choose.

Stay here and be punished by His Majesty.

Or follow me to leave the palace as ordered.

The emperor and empress really haven't wasted effort to raise you.

I've never seen such a well-behaving lackey.

Your wife-to-be is quite good, too.

She protected the empress in everything even risking her own life.

The two of us, husband and wife, naturally can't compare with Lady Wenxiu. The lives of other people,

to Lady Wenxiu, aren't as important as Young Prince Qian'an living a safe and comfortable life.

The old prince is the one who didn't waste his effort in raising you.

Someone like you who doesn't know the affection from parents,

you've always been coldhearted.

You naturally can't understand what I'm doing.

All those years ago, if His Majesty hadn't ordered my father to rush to assist the lone city,

how could he have died before the final victory?

Does Lady Wenxiu know

why Old Prince Qian'an died before the final victory?

Of course, I know.

Back then, Young Marquis Yue was a step ahead of my father.

He dispatched people to scout the miasma.

After those scouts died, Young Marquis Yue told my father.

Too bad, my father still wanted to save the lone city.

He took the risk and led a team into the miasma.

In the end, he lost his life.

It was all for saving your uncle.

That's why my father died miserably alone in the wilderness.

If my father had lived,

who could predict

who would eventually win the empire?

Lady Wenxiu, there must be secrets in this matter.

I advise you to stop before the cliff and not get incited by others.

What do you mean?

Young Marquis Yue has never been friendly with the Xuan family.

What he said may not be true. Why believe him without any doubt?

Also, all these years, His Majesty has been totally righteous toward Young Prince Qian'an.

He controls the copper mine, so surely he has no worries about food and clothing.

I advise you to conduct yourself well.

Do not listen to and believe in falsehood.

Back then, Young Marquis Yue was dissatisfied that His Majesty married Empress.

He always viewed Old Prince Qian'an as a thorn in his eye.

Why would he be so kindhearted to scout the road for him?

He would gladly see the entire Xuan Clan die.

Then, Consort Yue can become the empress.

Monitor Young Marquis Yue. Keep investigating.

- Yes.
- Yes.

I was wondering who got kicked out of Changqiu Palace.

So it was Lady Wenxiu.

Empress is the kindest and compassionate.

Today, why didn't she tolerate this cousin from the old days

and made Lady Wenxiu leave under such embarrassment and frustration?

Princess, you need not bother with the matters between the Wen and Xuan families.

I heard that Lady Wenxiu came to beg Empress for the authority to mint coins at the Shouchun Mine.

What? Does Young Prince Qian'an have no rice to cook?

He doesn't know his worth

but dares to want the authority to mint coins. He's so poor that he's insane?

I just said. There's no need to bother Third Princess.

Third Princess, it's best to take care of yourself.
