=The Unexpected Marriage=

=Episode 12=

Let go.

Stand up and take a look.

You scared me.

It's so shallow.

What were you doing?

Our body is given by our parents.

How can you destroy it at will?

If you don't want to live anymore, don't drag others to die with you.

When did I drag you?

Do you know that if you commit suicide, you will go to hell

and suffer endlessly?

If the water was a little deeper,

we'd have met in the underworld.

I...

- This... - In the blink of an eye,

what happened?

Go back and think about it carefully.

Don't try to kill yourself again.

Changsheng.

Do you like these flowers?

Orchids are found everywhere in Fuyu.

But in Great Tang,

they become the precious Fuirena.

I can't afford it.

Changsheng.

I asked the cook to make you squirrel-shaped mandarin fish.

I'll send it to you in the evening.

Let's dine together.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I'm not hungry yet, so I'll go back to the room.

Book...

Your Highness, is there anything else?

The welcome dinner will be held tomorrow.

In previous years, people would ask the organizer

to perform before the Emperor.

You're new here.

There must be someone with bad intentions.

If you don't want to,

just refuse without hesitation.

I'll handle the rest.

Perform before the Emperor?

This kind of thing doesn't bother me.

It seems that you're well prepared.

I won't tell you.

Besides,

I'm going to start practicing now.

Please go back.

All right.

(Fine Spirits of the Universe)

He called the small pond a lake.

Please forgive me, Princess Royal.

It's fine.

Leave me first.

Yes.

Put it there.

Princess Royal.

Drink the ginger soup while it's hot.

Did you suddenly think of something?

Go check who was the man in the palace today.

Yes.

After checking,

will he be severely punished?

Just check it first.

(Huadeng Pavilion)

Jinyan, come here.

Let me tell you.

Help me prepare.

Understand?

Your Highness.

What do you want these for?

His Highness had told me before coming to Great Tang

that we should proceed with caution.

I have my own reason

for doing this.

You, Youyong and Youmou,

go help me get prepared.

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay, go quickly.

Remember to tell Youyong and Youmou

to be smart.

Don't be noticed.

(Longevity Hall)

(Peace in All the World)

Changsheng.

The one above is Consort De.

She's the head of the harem now

and also the biological mother of Prince Lv Hou.

That person is Prince Lv Hou,

also known as Prince Song.

Liu Yiyi, Princess Consort Song,

is the eldest daughter of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Revenue

and also the granddaughter of the Marquis of the West.

Her strength can't be underestimated.

That's my fifth brother Lv Ke.

How to say that?

He's also a huge deal.

You will know later.

His wife is called Chu Ge,

daughter of the concubine of Minister Chu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Changsheng.

Yi'an.

It's him.

Changsheng, stop looking. The banquet will begin.

Your country has so many rules.

The Emperor is here.

Father.

Sit down.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thanks, Father.

Start the banquet.

This barbarian princess

can't even sit properly.

Look, Prince Qin even serves her food.

Although Her Highness is not well-mannered,

she's really beautiful.

Among all the people present,

no other lady can outshine her.

That's because Princess Royal didn't come.

This barbarian

is no match for

Princess Royal's elegance.

In terms of nobility,

she can't compare to Princess Royal.

In terns of talent and knowledge,

she's not as good as Miss Rujing.

Only her face is worth mentioning.

I don't know when Miss Rujing will come back.

After all, she grew up with Prince Qin.

- They're childhood sweethearts. - Xiao Zilv.

We really should take Princess Changsheng down a peg.

Father, I toast you.

I have heard that women in Fuyu

are not inferior to Great Tang's.

The men are martial

and the women are good at dancing.

Your Highness is a girl in a million.

You must be excellent too.

Why don't you

dance for us

and let Father

appreciate your charm?

Very well.

Would you show me

the graceful dance of Fuyu?

Father.

Today is Changsheng's welcome banquet.

Changsheng is the Princess of Fuyu

and my unmarried wife.

This seems

not appropriate.

My Great Tang

is worshipped by all countries.

What?

You don't want to?

Do you feel contempt

for Great Tang?

Princess Changsheng traveled a long way to Great Tang

just to make an alliance through marriage.

Some narrow-minded people

deliberately make things difficult for her,

and even elevated this unspeakable rivalry

to such a major deal.

You must be scheming

to drive a wedge

between Great Tang and Fuyu.

Well...

Your Majesty.

Our peace-making marriage

received congratulations from all over the world.

Since the marriage has been decided,

there is no distinction between host and guest,

only the etiquette between monarch and subject.

I'm willing

to present a dance for you

as an entertainment.

Good, good.

Aren't those war drums?

Who knows what she's thinking?

Trivial skills.

Good.

Careful.

The six peony paintings at the back

are dedicated to Your Majesty.

May Great Tang

prosper forever

and maintain good relations

with Fuyu.

May Your Majesty

live a long life.

Good, good.

Reward Princess Changsheng

with a pair of golden hairpins,

100 ounces of gold,

100 pieces of colorful

gold silk cotton cloth.

Take a seat.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thanks, Father.

Come on.

Let's toast to Changsheng.

Your Majesty.

I have seen many beauties over the years.

But Princess Changsheng

is good-looking in an unconventional way.

Prince Qin is also brave and battlewise.

Now it seems

they're a match

made in heaven.

Yes.

Princess Changsheng is both outstanding

and pretty.

She also has an intelligent heart.

We really feel ashamed of ourselves.

Fuyu has a lot of good singers and dancers.

It's normal that

their princess can dance.

I know that I'm not well-informed.

The drum

is always used on the battlefield.

I've never seen

a drum dance before.

Father.

I think

there is something wrong with the drum dance.

What's wrong?

Princess Changsheng,

were those

war drums that you used?

All the generals know

the sound of the drums means to charge.

Now the world is peaceful.

I wonder if she's referring to something.

Father, calm down.

Princess Changsheng

didn't do it on purpose.

She is a woman

and has never been on the battlefield.

How could she know

every time the drum is beaten,

people would die?

She won't even know

that the very first drumming cheers them up,

the second weakens them,

while the third absolutely devitalizes them.

Well said,

steering clear of the crucial point.

Just now Princess Changsheng danced with the six drums,

which means peace

will last forever in Great Tang.

Changsheng.

What do you say?

It is said that Great Tang is prosperous

and tolerant to diversity.

I'm sure you understand

the purpose of my dance

is to remember the past

and bless the future.

What does this mean?

It's been many years

that the two armies fight against each other

and the people suffer from war.

Your Majesty is wise

and advocates for peace.

This follows the laws of nature

and complies with public opinion.

I appreciate Your Majesty's broad-mindedness,

so I presented this dance

to commemorate

the soldiers who died in war

and the displaced people.

It is also a blessing

of peace and prosperity

under Your Majesty's rule.

May the country prosper

and enjoy peace

and quietness.

May the people of our two countries

be friendly with each other

and live in harmony.

I

wish to guard Great Tang

and make sure

we live in peace and prosperity

like Changsheng

and you wish for.

Well said.

- I like Changsheng's drum dance... - Princess.

- The man at the harem yesterday - ...very much.

- is the envoy that Fuyu sent, - You deserve rewards.

Mr. Xiao Zilv.

In Fuyu,

he's known as the walking medical book.

This time he came here specifically to learn

Great Tang's medical skills.

He is the envoy of Fuyu.

Princess Royal.

Aren't we going to the banquet?

I have seen everything I should see.

It's just some false pretenses.

Nothing interesting.

Let's go back.

The weather has turned cold again.

This time,

you have to take good care.

Don't jump into the lake

like you did last time.

It's a small pond.

Yes, yes.

You can't just jump into the small pond.

You still cough a lot.

It's the beginning of spring.

We should go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine for prescriptions.

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

Your Highness.

I have

sent someone to inspect it carefully.

It's just that

the banquet was crowded with people,

and we couldn't find conclusive evidence.

Forget it.

From the direction the marble came,

we can also tell who it is.

Why do we need evidence

to punish them?

Yes.

Pass my order.

Send more people

to make sure Her Highness's safety.

Okay.

Your Highness.

This is the military report from the barracks.

(Waiting for you to lead the soldiers to the battlefield and destroy Fuyu)

The soldiers are in high spirits,

waiting to go out to battle with you.

The time is not yet ripe.

It can wait.

The soldiers have almost recovered.

Just wait for you to give the order.

The situation is unstable now.

Tall trees catch much wind.

If we rashly send troops to attack Fuyu,

with external problems,

there'll be more trouble.

Your Highness, Mr. Xiao has arrived.

I know.

Why did you come?

Don't stand. Please sit down.

Should I address you

as Prince Qin?

You've come a long way

to Great Tang.

You must think us very disorganized.

Youyong, get some tea.

No need.

What do you want

to see me about?

I have to ask you, Your Highness.

Why did you hide your identity from Changsheng?

What is your intention?

Mr. Xiao.

In what position

are you questioning me?

I am the envoy of Fuyu,

and Changsheng's friend.

It's only natural for me to care about her.

Me and Changsheng

have not gotten married yet,

but Changsheng

will be my

legitimate wife.

She's Princess Consort Qin

of Great Tang.

Mr. Xiao.

Why do you think

I will harm my wife?

Then why didn't you tell Changsheng

your real identity?

We'll spend the rest of our lives together.

Since Changsheng no longer minds this,

there is no need for you to worry.

Mr. Xiao.

I would like to mention one more thing.

If you miss someone, you miss them forever.

Even if you follow her to Great Tang,

it doesn't help.

Better to let go.

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

Your Highness, sorry for the wait.

Your Highness.

Didn't I tell you?

You can be yourself in here.

Don't be bound by these etiquettes.

Your Highness.

Did you find

who threw the marble?

I have already found some clues.

You don't have to

worry about this.

I will definitely help you get justice.

Thanks.

Then

I'll leave first.

Changsheng.

Let's dine together

tonight.

Maybe tonight...

I'll be waiting for you.

These are Fuyu's dishes.

Previously in Prince Changle's Mansion,

I learned to cook a few dishes.

You should try it

and see if it suits your taste.

You made them?

(They don't taste bad.)

The taste is not bad, right?

You are sincere.

Try this dish, "Regret".

That's not the name of this dish.

It is not called this in Fuyu,

but the name changed

in Great Tang.

That way,

call it "Forgiveness".

Even so,

we still have to make some rules.

What rules?

Tell me.

Don't deceive me.

Don't distrust me.

Don't make things difficult for me.

Understand?

Understood.

Whatever you say.

But

I also have a small request.

Sure.

It depends on my mood whether I agree.

Like you said,

you and I are a couple,

so we should be the strongest ally.

Since I chose you,

I've shown my back to you.

I'm not afraid of you making things difficult for me,

or deceiving me,

I'm only afraid that you don't trust me.

I hope

you can treat me as

someone you can rely on.

Okay.

I promise you.

Again.

(Tea and Zen)

Yi'an.

Prince Qin.

Did you get burnt while cooking?

Never mind.

You deserve it.

You lied to me after all.

I'll let you freeze here for one night

as a punishment.

No way.

She just left like that.

Although I promised to ally with you,

I still haven't forgiven you.

I help apply medicine to you

because

you cooked for me.

But don't think

I can forgive you so easily.

Right.

I don't want to owe you.

Changsheng.

♪Good weather and beautiful scenery♪

What are you doing?

♪The lanterns sway among the flowers♪

Changsheng.

When I was in the palace of Fuyu,

I was so nervous.

What were you nervous about?

I'm afraid you won't marry me.

If I won't marry you,

you can marry someone else.

Except for you,

I don't want to marry anyone.

♪My heart is full of knots♪

It has to be me?

It has to be you.

Changsheng.

Fortunately it's you.

♪Stars twinkle outside the window♪

♪I wish I was the star and you were the moon♪

♪Spend one more day with you♪

♪Hold your hand again♪

You're drunk.

When you wake up tomorrow,

you'll forget everything

that happened tonight.

♪A lifelong prayer♪

Very well.

Say it again.

What are you going to do tomorrow?

Tomorrow I'll forget that you wanted to get me drunk

and do something bad.

♪Engraved forever♪

What bad thing?

When did you see me doing something bad?

Wake up!

♪Hold your hand again♪

Why isn't anyone here?

♪It's my lifelong love♪

Never mind. I'll help you this time.

♪Year after year♪

♪I just wish for a red line between my fingers♪

♪The oath on the Three-Life Stone♪

♪Engraved forever♪

♪It represents eternal love♪

♪It represents eternal love♪

Changsheng.

Changsheng.

Hey.

You're holding my hand.

(According to your birthday,)

(Peace-making Marriage) (this year, the destined person will appear.)

(Where is)

(my destined person?)

(Right)

(in front of you.)

(This woman)

(is your destined person.)

(Maybe you two are destined to be together.)

(You will survive disasters)

(and turn calamities into blessings.)

In fact, marrying to Great Tang

doesn't seem that bad.

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

(Did I)

(sleep like this all night?)

Are you really not going to take responsibility for me?

I didn't do anything.

Why should I take responsibility?

You didn't

do anything?

Last night,

you got drunk.

You asked me to take you back.

I wanted to leave,

but you wouldn't let me go.

I am just a woman.

How can I have as much strength as you?

But you

blame this on me

and confuse right and wrong.

It seems that it is indeed my fault.

It's good to know that you are wrong.

You, don't come over.

I'm getting myself fixed up.

Let's go, you took me back last night.

Now I'll take you back.

No need.

You don't have to thank me.

And don't need to

apologize to me.

I'll be the bigger person

and forgive you.

It's only between you and me.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

You're playing hard to get, right?

(Cypress and Plum Blossoms)

Your Highness.

I heard from Youyong

that you slept in Prince Qin's bedroom last night.

I didn't.

I just stayed there a little longer.

It was an accident.

Accident?

You haven't gotten married yet.

Why is Prince Qin disregarding the rules?

No, no.

There's no accident.

So that's not an accident.

No.

Don't ask anymore.

Nothing happened between us.

Prepare the pen and ink.

What do you want them for?

Copy the Meditation Mantra.

(Huadeng Pavilion) Jinyan.

Give me the copybook we brought from Fuyu.

Okay.

You've been copying scriptures for two days.

Still haven't calmed down yet?

(Travel Far Away)

Even though the grass withers,

the fallen flowers will meet again elsewhere.

After parting ways with old friends,

I only wish for you to know me.

I only wish for you to know me.

Even though the grass withers,

I only wish for you to know me.

This means Yi'an is Prince Qin.

Liar.

Jinyan.

Have you heard

the phrase "seeing things reminds people of someone"?

I have heard,

but I haven't seen it.

But

now I see it.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I just wrote something, what's wrong?

Yes, yes.

You're just

writing Prince Qin's poem

and thinking about Prince Qin.

If you ask me,

just go see him if you want to.

It's not like you are

thousands of miles away.

He's just next door.

Who wants to see him?

The last person I want to see

is him.

Yes, yes.

Look at Her Highness.

She's getting anxious.

Your Highness.

Are you looking for someone?

No.

Are you looking for Prince Qin?

I'm not.

I heard Youyong say

His Highness is very busy recently.

When he returns home, he's always in the study to discuss work.

I've been copying scriptures lately, and my limbs are sore.

I'll go there for a walk.

Your Highness, don't go far.

It's a gloomy day.

I'm afraid it's going to rain.

Princess Consort.

I'm not that yet.

Whatever.

Your Highness, what are you looking at?

You're alone?

Where's Youmou?

He went to the training camp to watch the new recruits.

You want to see him?

I can give him the message.

It's okay.

I'm just asking.

This tree is growing well.

Well,

where is Prince Qin?

I want to ask him

what kind of tree is this.

It looks pretty good.

His Highness went to the palace and hasn't returned yet.

I'll ask him for you when he comes back.

No need.

I'll ask him

next time I see him.

Your Highness, don't open the window.

It's raining so hard tonight.

This is the first time I've seen rain

since I came to Luojing.

Oh no.

- What's wrong? - Muyan trees.

I never thought it would rain.

We didn't use protection.

Now the Muyan trees

will die from flooding.

I should have thought of it earlier.

(Huadeng Pavilion) Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, wait.

You haven't taken an umbrella.

Your Highness, where are you going?

- Muyan Forest. - Now?

Lend me the horse.

Your Highness, don't go!

The rain is too heavy.

I'll go there for you.

- You don't know how to tend the trees. - Your Highness.

- Take an umbrella. - Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What can we do?

I'm going after Her Highness.

Hurry to the palace to report to His Highness.

Okay.

Let's go.
