=Episode 9=

The border has got chaotic again lately.

The Taxila Tribe of Dongyu

keeps harassing our people on the border.

I guess they'll pick another fight.

In this case,

I'm afraid our foxy uncle will be impatient.

The marriage thing is settled.

There's no point in killing the Princess of Dongyu.

They will do something else

to start a war again.

Without a war,

they couldn't have command

over politics and military.

What do you think we should do, Shiyu?

Conserve strength

and fight back in full force.

Things in Yingzhou and Taizhou go smoothly.

I will go to Liuzhou personally

to help you gather private soldiers

and contact all forces for more power.

Shiyu,

your trip to Liuzhou must be dangerous.

I worry that...

If the war between the two states really starts,

our people will suffer

and our court will be turbulent.

More people will be victims.

I don't want to wait anymore.

Shiyu, we need a more careful plan.

(Benign and Benevolent)

Yueling, what is wrong?

You've been upset lately.

I'm bored.

Bored?

Yueling, wait for me.

Yueling, look.

Look at this, Yueling.

The wind blows.

And this.

This one is awesome.

How about this? Look.

Oh, this.

Yueling,

what do think of this painting?

Is it Dongyu?

Yes.

I bought this painting

just because it looked so much like our hometown.

Yueling, you have no idea.

As far as I know,

the painter is an extremely famous scholar

all over Beishuo.

He can play music, chess, and paint.

All kinds of arts. Really perfect.

Stories about him travel really fast.

Can someone really have such erudition?

Yes.

I hear every day, scholars visit Nanfeng House

where he is dwelling.

Even his door is thronged.

I want to see him, too.

So do I.

You want to see him?

No time like the present.

Let's go now.

- Now? - Yes.

Fine, then.

Yueling,

Mr. Perfect who can do all kinds of arts

lives right here.

(Nanfeng House) I hear his paintings are worth a bundle.

Many dignitaries

take pride in having his paintings.

A bundle?

How much did you spend?

Not very much.

Zhang, look at the lines.

Quite vigorous.

Indeed.

Impressive.

What a lively place!

I think these people

all came here for Mr. Perfect.

Mr. Perfect paints so perfectly

with deep artistic conceptions.

Yeah.

This Painting of Mountains

vigorously portrayed verdant trees.

The mountains and trees rise layer upon layer.

Really amazing.

Amazing.

Good.

Look, the mountains are tall and big.

The trees are numerous and dense.

Really wonderful.

Yueling,

since when could you comment on a painting?

They all comment here.

If we only watch instead of speaking,

we'll look rather ignorant.

That's right.

It's wise of you.

This Painting of River

has a delicate and majestic composition.

Quite extraordinary.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Indeed.

Look at the river.

It's long and broad.

That's right.

Look at the water. So much water.

Isn't it brilliant?

Can you even appreciate paintings?

What are you talking about?

Such a buzzkill.

Come on. Let's go somewhere else.

Why?

Your Grace, I think you have a good point.

It's all right.

Ignore them.

They just don't appreciate paintings.

Yeah.

So much water, indeed.

What are you laughing at?

Miss, you're quite interesting.

May I invite you

to have a talk in the tearoom?

Hey, who are you?

Why do you only invite my sister?

Besides,

we're here to see the famous Mr. Qin.

(Qin Siyuan, Mr. Perfect) I am Qin Siyuan.

So, you're Mr. Perfect?

Enjoy the tea, please.

Thanks.

Mr. Perfect,

have you ever visited Dongyu?

No.

Then how did you paint

the superb scenery of Dongyu?

Well,

I have something for reference.

There are also grasslands in Beishuo?

Mr. Perfect,

what did you use for reference

to paint the same grassland in Dongyu?

Can you show me?

It's right in the backyard.

(Mild Weather and Bright Scenery)

Tent?

Nest?

I've never been to a grassland.

I just

copied the scenery casually.

What about the Painting of Mountains and the Painting of River?

(Mild Weather and Bright Scenery)

This is the Painting of Mountains.

Here, the Painting of River.

Well,

it's just a stinking ditch in my backyard.

Mr. Perfect, you're really special

and creative.

You flatter me.

Just some small tricks.

Don't bother.

(Pleasant and Harmonious)

Your Highness.

Deliver this to the eastern yard.

I can't, Your Highness.

Her Highness isn't in now.

She isn't?

Where is she, then?

In Nanfeng House

where Mr. Qin Siyuan dwells.

Oh, Your Highness, do you know?

Mr. Qin Siyuan

is the most elegant young man in town.

Her Highness is there for him.

Your Highness, you're just back.

Where are you going again?

It's getting late.

I'm going to get her back.

Your Highness, wait for me.

Your Highness, you've just recovered.

Have more nutritious food.

Before I think of a way

to break up Zhou Shiyu and the Princess of Dongyu,

how can I be in the mood to eat?

Take the dishes away.

Come on, Your Highness.

Food is fuel for humans.

You have to eat something.

Wait, wait.

Look.

His Highness has lost weight.

Yeah, Your Highness.

If you keep losing weight,

it'll be the neglect of our duty.

I've lost weight?

I can't let it be.

My gorgeous face

can't be harmed.

Get the dishes to me.

Sure, Your Highness. Enjoy the food.

Your Highness,

the Princess of Dongyu you asked us to keep an eye on

went to Nanfeng House earlier today.

The North Prince went there, too.

They did?

Finally, I don't need to think hard

about how to break them up.

Zhou Shiyu,

you give me the chance.

Still eating?

What are you? A pig?

Let's get to business.

Girls, don't waste the food.

Eat it up.

Don't lose weight.

- Thank you, Your Highness. - Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness, wait for me.

- Your Highness. - I'll eat this.

(Nanfeng House)

This painting is also made with the reference of my backyard.

Actually, it's easy to paint.

If you're interested, Miss,

I can teach you.

All right.

The paintings are good,

but they don't have souls.

What are you doing here?

Different people enjoy various things.

They just have different tastes.

You're right, Mr. Qin.

You can have different tastes.

But you must not take away what someone else loves.

Really?

It's getting late.

Let's get back home soon.

Mr. Qin,

that seems to be the carriage from the North Prince's mansion.

Who's that richly dressed man?

The North Prince.

Why did you pull me away?

I wasn't done enjoying his paintings yet.

His paintings are really...

Since when were you so interested in paintings?

Why can't I be interested in paintings?

What are you actually interested in,

the paintings or the painter?

Mr. Perfect.

I'm really here to see the paintings.

The grassland he paints

really looks like that in my hometown.

See the painting?

Then next, will you

learn to paint from Mr. Perfect?

Yes.

I'll learn to paint from him.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Don't stand on ceremony.

You're still such a handsome painter.

Nearly as handsome as me.

You flatter me, Your Highness.

Siyuan,

recently,

I've had a problem.

Your Highness, I'm indebted to you.

So, I'm ready to help you.

Su Nian, that Dongyu man came again.

Will you be dressed up again?

No.

That man is really weird.

I don't know what he wants to do today,

watch a dance or do martial arts?

He's rather interesting, I think.

Su Nian,

look what I’ve brought you.

Xingyi, what are these?

Blade, spear, and sword.

Hammer and whip.

Even a stick.

Do I have to use all of them?

Yeah. To do great martial arts,

you need a weapon you can use best.

Pick one.

Thank you, then.

What weapon do you use?

Me?

I don't need a weapon anymore.

Oh, Lingxi. You pick one, too.

I can teach you.

No, thanks.

Obviously, there are too many kinds to choose from.

Well, I'll leave the weapons here.

You take your time.

I should go back now.

Now?

Yes.

I had meant to teach you martial arts.

But my sister invited Mr. Perfect

to paint in our mansion.

I have to go have a look.

Mr. Perfect.

Is it really a name for someone?

Yes.

The one living in Nanfeng House.

Mr. Qin Siyuan, huh?

Yes, it's him.

Now, he's my sister's art teacher.

Mr. Qin's paintings are indeed marvelous.

I admire him a lot.

But I haven't got a chance to consult him.

You also want to see him?

That's easy.

Count on me.

(Everything is going smoothly.)

Your Highness.

What?

Her Highness's yard is lively again.

Is she drunk again?

No.

Oh, good.

Your Highness,

Her Highness is learning to paint from Mr. Qin.

Learning to paint?

Her Highness paints so well, huh?

Impressive, isn't it?

- Yes. - Yes.

Great, isn't it?

Her Highness is really talented.

Xingyi,

why are you painting a tilting tree?

This tree

is just tilting in the wind.

I think Mr. Xingyi's tree

is nearly blown away by the wind.

Wonderful. Wonderful indeed.

You have such a good eye for it.

Wonderful. Wonderful indeed.

Miss Su Nian, you paint so beautifully.

Your tree looks good, too.

You use easy lines,

but it gives an exquisite refinement.

- Of course. - Of course.

Speaking of refinement,

no one can do better than me.

The South Prince is here.

Don't bother to greet me.

You may go on.

Your Highness?

What are you doing here?

I hear you love to paint lately.

Then, I have to come.

In Beishuo, speaking of painters,

Qin...

Mr. Qin is the best.

Then I'm only second to him.

You can paint?

What are you talking about?

Xingyi, come on. Hurry.

Look at this.

Look at the chick.

Is it actually a hen?

He said Mr. Qin was the best painter

and he was the second best.

He really bragged.

It looks awful.

Don't laugh.

You have no taste at all.

Go away.

I painted it with utmost effort.

I named it,

the Painting of Eagle.

Mr. Qin, what do you

think of this painting?

Wonderful.

Wonderful, indeed.

Mr. Qin, did you see his painting?

Wonderful.

Wait.

That's what you just said about my painting.

Your Highness, the South Prince is here.

I saw him.

Shall we go have a look?

Mr. Qin said my painting was wonderful.

My painting

isn't like your poor ones.

Hey, what's your look?

Mr. Qin, look at her painting.

A boring painting of the landscape.

And this tilting tree...

Awful.

This...

A bald tree.

So pale.

- What are you talking about? - What are you talking about?

- Can't you comment nicely? - Can't you comment nicely?

- What a man! - Then don't comment.

Your...

Your wild eagle is fierce-looking.

Wonderful, huh?

But look closely.

This isn't an eagle.

This is actually a chick.

That's right.

And look down here. Some rice.

I think

it should be Chick Pecking at the Rice.

Chick Pecking at the Rice!

Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice!

Where is Zhou Shiyu?

Get him to me.

- Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice! - Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice!

Where is he?

- Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice! - Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice!

Zhou Shiyu,

can't you see your brother is here?

- Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice! - Oh, Chick Pecking at the Rice!

(Account Book)

Prime Minister.

(Account Book)

Good.

Good job.

Good.

Very good.

Any word from Nan Xun?

No trace of illegal weapons has been found.

Nan Xun stalks them for a while,

only to find they make iron ore just for sale.

If the North Prince only makes iron ore

to accumulate wealth,

we don't need to fear.

It's still too early

to come to this conclusion.

Go.

Ask Yang Xu to stick to our plan.

Yes.

Great.

Awesome.

Really awesome!

(Hall of Politics)

(Memorial to the Throne, Account Book)

Recently, I've received a letter of accusation.

Reading it, I felt bitterly disappointed

and utterly shocked.

I have to present it to you, Your Majesty.

(Memorial to the Throne, Account Book)

His Highness held an account book, I think.

You're sharp-eyed, censor.

But this isn't an ordinary account book,

but something that can show the North Prince's intention

of rebellious schemes.

Rebellious schemes?

Oh, rebellion.

That's a capital offense.

In Taizhou and Yingzhou, the North Prince

makes illegal iron ore and forge weapons.

He wants to rebel.

(Memorial to the Throne)

North Prince,

is that true?

For your information, Brother,

I do have two illegal iron mines.

But I don't have them for illegal weapons.

In recent years, actually,

I've been overspending.

So, I want more money for living expenses.

Nonsense.

If you need money,

you can do many other businesses.

Why do you do the iron mining

that is expressly forbidden?

South Prince, don't you also

do illegal salt trades?

Why can you do an illegal business

while I can't?

I do illegal salt trades for money

while you want to rebel.

They're totally different things.

So, you admit you do illegal salt trades?

You...

Zhou Shiyu, you set me up?

I shouldn't have done the same thing

as the South Prince just to get more money.

I deserve any punishment.

Your Majesty,

please punish the South Prince and me.

Zhou Shiyu,

don't get me involved.

Shiyu confessed his sin.

Chenyu, you still deny it?

I can confess.

But I'm only greedy for money.

A small punishment will do.

But the North Prince wants to rebel.

And here is the evidence of his illegal iron mines.

Brother, do punish him for treason.

Brother is wise enough to decide.

Or do you want to usurp his authority

and make a decision for him?

In contrast,

it's really obvious which of us

wants to rebel.

Don't try to implicate me.

You implicated me first.

- You... - Enough.

My brothers,

look at you.

One does illegal salt trades

while the other has illegal iron mines.

As important officials,

how could you make such mistakes

just for selfish desires?

For the sake it's your first crime,

you'll each get 50 floggings in the Ministry of Punishments

and your salary of six months will be deducted.

- But Brother, I... - Duly noted, Brother.

I accept the punishments.

Duly noted, Your Majesty.

I accept the punishments, too.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your...

Take it easy. Slow down.

The North Prince...

He was reported by the South Prince

for the account book or the rebel thing.

Anyway, His Majesty had him flogged.

Account book?

Your Grace, what are you looking for?

This is where I kept the account book.

Why is it gone?

How... How come?

Oh, no.

The account book must be the reason.

Who on earth stole it?

(Pleasant and Harmonious)

Your Highness, shortly after the use of the ointment,

your hips bleed again.

It must hurt a lot.

It doesn't matter.

The executor in the Ministry of Punishments

is really merciless.

He flogged you so hard.

If he hadn't,

how could Uncle believe this?

Shiyu.

Shiyu.

Shiyu.

Hearing you're injured,

I came

with the best ointment.

Thank you.

Shiyu, are you still mad at me?

I was too childish before.

Shiyu, you don't feel very well today.

Don't get angry with me.

Shiyu, this is the special ointment from the south of the Five Ridges.

It promotes blood circulation perfectly.

(I don't think he needs my ointment.)

Your Highness?

Why didn't get in, Your Highness?

I was just about to get in.

What about Your Highness?

How is he now?

Look.

A mass of blood.

I can't help feeling sorry.

Princess Luoyi brought some ointment.

Your Highness, Her Highness is here.

Get her in.

Your Highness, His Highness is waiting for you.

You just get in.

All right.

Oh, my future cousin-in-law.

My cousin is so badly injured.

What took you so long?

Does it still hurt?

Look at him.

How does it not hurt?

Also,

I'm talking to you.

Why do you not reply?

Luoyi,

it's getting late.

You should get back to the palace.

Shiyu, let me stay tonight.

Then I can take care of you.

You just go.

- I have... - He has me.

You'd better leave early, Luoyi.

It's getting late, after all.

You...

How can you stay with him?

Why can't I?

I'm his bride-to-be.

That's right.

She'll take care of me.

You don't need to worry.

Linmu.

Walk Princess Luoyi back to the palace.

Yes, Your Highness.

There you go, Your Grace.

I'll count on you, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, I'll be gentle.

The flogging didn't kill me.

But you nearly did.

His Highness is miserable.

Your Highness.

Be gentle.

Yang Xu, get out of here.

It's all because of your awful idea.

My brother has never flogged me before.

Don't be angry, Your Highness.

This is the ointment for blood circulation.

You have to bear the paint.

Out there, I have to bear Zhou Shiyu.

Back at home, I still have to bear.

Why?

Be gentle!

Your Highness.

Yueling, what are you thinking?

It must be hurting a lot.

Yeah.

My brother showed no mercy.

(Healing)

Yueling, you brought me some ointment, huh?

No.

(Healing ointment) So, is this ointment

not for me?

It's for you.

But it's just an ordinary ointment.

Not as good as what Princess Luoyi gave you.

But I think this is the best.

Sorry.

I failed to keep the account book.

So, you were reported and flogged.

You also planned to report me, didn't you?

I didn't know you were the North Prince.

If I had known that,

I wouldn't have tried to report you.

If it was me,

you would never turn me in, right?

Come on.

I'm all right.

I don't blame you.
