for him to get married
and carry on the royal line.

193
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,460
Aside from Yimeng,

194
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,240
your daughters

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,280
are the most graceful and virtuous

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,550
in the capital.

197
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:52,820
All fine matches.

198
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,000
What does this mean?

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,700
My Lady,

200
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,460
hasn't His Highness already been engaged

201
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:02,800
to the eldest daughter of the Song family?

202
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,280
According to tradition,

203
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,280
a prince may have one principal consort

204
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,460
and up to two concubines.

205
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:11,420
Miss Jia,

206
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,770
are you engaged yet?

207
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,560
Guess she's not lucky enough
to marry the prince.

208
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,500
Her fiancé is just about
to send the betrothal gifts.

209
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:25,840
But I heard that

210
00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:27,760
you're still shopping around.

211
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,180
You've basically

212
00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:31,160
visited every matchmaker in the capital.

213
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,940
Are you lying

214
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000
to Her Ladyship
because you think His Highness

215
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,460
isn't good enough for your daughter?

216
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:36,420
Mrs. Song,

217
00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:38,870
Miss Yiting is famous
all over the capital.

218
00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:40,640
Why don't you say yes?

219
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,040
My eldest daughter

220
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040
is the prince's principal consort.

221
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:47,240
If my second daughter
became his concubine,

222
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,900
wouldn't that be ridiculous?

223
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,670
Even if I agreed,

224
00:10:50,670 --> 00:10:52,760
surely Her Ladyship wouldn't.

225
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:55,940
I agree.

226
00:10:56,420 --> 00:10:58,340
What's wrong with two sisters

227
00:10:58,340 --> 00:10:59,640
sharing a husband?

228
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,180
Oh right, Mrs. Liu,

229
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,580
I heard that

230
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,180
your daughter's birth chart
is incredibly auspicious,

231
00:11:07,180 --> 00:11:08,800
and she's a perfect match for the prince.

232
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,550
Why don't you seize

233
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:12,800
this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

234
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:16,280
My daughter's…

235
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,920
birth chart is indeed good,

236
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,670
b-but…

237
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,170
her grandfather just passed away.

238
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,160
She's still in mourning.

239
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,280
But if I recall correctly,

240
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,670
your father passed away
over ten years ago.

241
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,460
Why do I feel that

242
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,640
none of you want

243
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,000
your daughters to marry Heng?

244
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,940
Is there something wrong with him?

245
00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:41,820
No.

246
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:43,940
My Lady, you've misunderstood.

247
00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:46,150
His Highness is brilliant and valiant.

248
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,420
It's not that my daughter

249
00:11:47,420 --> 00:11:49,670
refuses to be his concubine.

250
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,580
It's just…

251
00:11:53,340 --> 00:11:54,160
just that…

252
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:57,040
there's still Song Yimeng.

253
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Yeah.

254
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,060
I-It's because of Song Yimeng.

255
00:11:59,060 --> 00:11:59,880
Me?

256
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,420
Exactly.

257
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,000
Everyone in the capital knows that

258
00:12:04,330 --> 00:12:06,280
Miss Song is rude, spoiled,

259
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,470
grumpy, and jealous.

260
00:12:07,820 --> 00:12:10,820
If any other girl had to
share His Highness with you,

261
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,030
she'd be tormented to death.

262
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,590
[Misty Milk Tea]

263
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,580
Yes!

264
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:19,570
Song Yimeng

265
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,040
is downright vicious.

266
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,280
She has done more wrongs

267
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,400
than you can count.

268
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:26,940
S-Song Yimeng

269
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,180
bullied people

270
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:31,190
and terrorized her neighbors.

271
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Song Yimeng

272
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,760
kicked down widows' doors,

273
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,970
dug up graves,

274
00:12:38,420 --> 00:12:40,490
and beat up the disabled.

275
00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:41,460
Yes, yes, yes!

276
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:41,910
Exactly!

277
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:42,550
Yeah.

278
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:43,280
Yeah.

279
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,880
Yeah.

280
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:44,670
Yeah, yeah.

281
00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:50,250
I see what's going on now.

282
00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:51,340
So basically,

283
00:12:51,340 --> 00:12:54,220
you're trashing me

284
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,660
just to get out of marrying Nan Heng, huh?

285
00:12:57,550 --> 00:12:58,580
What trashing?

286
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,820
Heng?

287
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,320
What are you doing here?

288
00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:20,580
The ladies

289
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,330
were just talking about
your marriage to Yimeng.

290
00:13:27,820 --> 00:13:29,820
I just caught a few fugitives

291
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,820
and gutted them

292
00:13:31,820 --> 00:13:32,760
in the celestial prison.

293
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,340
I was passing by the Fanghua Hall,

294
00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:35,940
so I dropped in to see you.

295
00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:47,040
I heard that

296
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
you don't want to marry
your daughters to me

297
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:53,460
because of my principal consort.

298
00:13:55,550 --> 00:13:56,400
Well then,

299
00:13:57,820 --> 00:13:59,340
since I'm here today,

300
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:02,240
if any of you are truly interested,

301
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,430
come up and let me
take a good look at you.

302
00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:06,150
If it feels right,

303
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,040
I'll

304
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,460
divorce Song Yimeng.

305
00:14:19,940 --> 00:14:21,160
Why are you so quiet?

306
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:29,460
What are you trying to do?

307
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,420
I'm bored.

308
00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:34,520
Just having a bit of fun.

309
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,180
What's your name?

310
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,640
I...

311
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,400
I'm…

312
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,820
the daughter

313
00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:50,240
of Qiao Yue,

314
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:52,280
Vice Director of the Palace Library.

315
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,040
My name is…

316
00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:54,670
Q-Q-Qiao…

317
00:14:54,670 --> 00:14:56,000
So you're a stutterer.

318
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,040
So useless.

319
00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:02,120
Maybe I should throw her in prison
and have her executed.

320
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Mother.

321
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,580
Mother.

322
00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:04,760
My Lady.

323
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,400
This...

324
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,450
You.

325
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,510
Just now, I heard Mrs. Song say

326
00:15:14,060 --> 00:15:16,760
your birth chart matches mine best.

327
00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:19,940
What year were you born?

328
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:20,700
The…

329
00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:22,530
the year of Renyin.

330
00:15:24,670 --> 00:15:26,940
Renyin? Then you're a tiger.

331
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,670
But if you're a tiger,

332
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,390
that clashes with my sign.

333
00:15:32,580 --> 00:15:33,820
If you marry me,

334
00:15:34,420 --> 00:15:36,160
will I bring misfortune on you,

335
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,120
or will you bring misfortune on me?

336
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,050
I wouldn't dare.

337
00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:40,460
You wouldn't dare?

338
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:44,040
Then you must've lied to Her Ladyship.

339
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:46,220
In the Xuanjia Army,

340
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,750
lying like that gets you gutted

341
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,670
and your heart boiled and eaten.

342
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,560
Please forgive us, My Lady.

343
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,170
Please spare us.

344
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,450
Some street fortune-teller

345
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,280
told me that!

346
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,060
I would never dare lie to you!

347
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:12,320
Weren't the two of you
the loudest ones earlier?

348
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,040
Why so quiet now?

349
00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:21,050
Say something!

350
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,620
Your Highness.

351
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,940
Please forgive us!

352
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,240
Please spare us!

353
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,240
Spreading lies and causing trouble—

354
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920
the two of you should be thrown in prison

355
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,570
and have your tongues cut out!

356
00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:35,060
My Lady.

357
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:36,180
My Lady, save us!

358
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:36,400
My Lady!

359
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,400
My Lady, save us!

360
00:16:38,670 --> 00:16:40,400
I'll say it one more time today—

361
00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:42,620
Song Yimeng

362
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,800
is marrying me because I begged her to.

363
00:16:46,820 --> 00:16:47,820
Her honor

364
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,280
is my honor.

365
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:52,790
Anyone who disrespected me

366
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,990
has already died by my sword.

367
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,140
Anyone who dares disrespect her—

368
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,060
go ahead, try it.

369
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,060
Please spare us.

370
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:03,520
Please spare us.

371
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,120
Please spare us.

372
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:04,670
Please spare us.

373
00:17:04,670 --> 00:17:05,670
Please spare us.

374
00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:06,280
Please spare us.

375
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Please spare us.

376
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,000
Please spare us.

377
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,340
My Lady, please save us.

378
00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:12,670
My Lady, please save us.

379
00:17:16,060 --> 00:17:16,680
My Lady.

380
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,000
My Lady.

381
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,960
What's wrong with you?

382
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,480
My Lady.

383
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,100
My Lady.

384
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:19,550
My Lady.

385
00:17:19,550 --> 00:17:20,100
Mother!

386
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:21,140
My Lady.

387
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,400
Mother, what's wrong?

388
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Send for the imperial physician.

389
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,140
Go!

390
00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:24,800
Yes.

391
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,240
There's milk in it?

392
00:17:31,860 --> 00:17:32,760
Mother has a weak stomach.

393
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,880
She can't take milk.

394
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:36,340
I made it for Her Ladyship.

395
00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:38,990
I didn't know she couldn't have milk.

396
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:43,720
My Lady.

397
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,300
My Lady.

398
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,000
You should let the servants

399
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,280
prepare the medicine.

400
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,280
Sitting in the draft
in the middle of the night—

401
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,280
if you fall ill,

402
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,690
are you going to blame me for it?

403
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Her Ladyship fell ill because she drank

404
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,090
the milk tea I made.

405
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,880
I have to do something

406
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,280
to make up for it.

407
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,480
Did I

408
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,550
scare you today?

409
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,480
You're always either yelling at me

410
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,940
or threatening to kill me.

411
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,240
I'm used to it.

412
00:18:59,620 --> 00:19:01,800
Can you not be so sarcastic?

413
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,870
In this palace, people are tricky.

414
00:19:09,870 --> 00:19:11,480
You can never be too careful.

415
00:19:11,540 --> 00:19:12,870
You may not hurt others,

416
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,770
but others may want to hurt you.

417
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:17,280
Soon after you got into the palace,

418
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,820
you prepared food for Mother.

419
00:19:18,820 --> 00:19:20,080
That was a big mistake.

420
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,580
What if someone had tried to poison her?

421
00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:24,450
What if they had framed you for it?

422
00:19:29,340 --> 00:19:31,760
This is a romance drama.

423
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:33,620
It can't be so serious.

424
00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:36,270
What did you just mutter?

425
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Nothing.

426
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,360
I heard you loud and clear, Your Highness.

427
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,580
Here.

428
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,280
Your Highness.

429
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,280
This medicine

430
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:50,140
was prepared exactly
as the imperial physician instructed.

431
00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:51,240
Now that you've touched it,

432
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,620
if something goes wrong,

433
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:53,960
it's on you.

434
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,820
Thank you.

435
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,990
I said…

436
00:20:19,550 --> 00:20:20,380
thank you.

437
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,160
Are you thanking me?

438
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,880
Are you out of your mind?

439
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:39,100
You're the one who's out of your mind.

440
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:39,900
Fine.

441
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,550
I'm just out of my mind.

442
00:20:41,890 --> 00:20:43,860
That's why I thanked you.

443
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:45,590
Just take it as an insult.

444
00:20:46,060 --> 00:20:46,900
Anyway,

445
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:48,770
you're not used to being thanked.

446
00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:54,280
I've been insulted by plenty of people.

447
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,280
One more doesn't make a difference.

448
00:21:06,820 --> 00:21:09,480
You said all those terrifying things

449
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:12,040
in front of those ladies today.

450
00:21:12,550 --> 00:21:14,400
What if they took them seriously?

451
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,240
To them,

452
00:21:20,140 --> 00:21:22,800
I'm just the murderous God of Death.

453
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,100
Then explain it to those

454
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:26,580
who misunderstand you.

455
00:21:26,820 --> 00:21:27,960
Tell them the truth.

456
00:21:32,550 --> 00:21:33,590
If I

457
00:21:33,820 --> 00:21:34,680
explained it to you,

458
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,870
would you believe me?

459
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,910
They call me God of Death.

460
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:43,730
Isn't that what you think too?

461
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,280
The world insults and curses me.

462
00:21:46,550 --> 00:21:48,210
And haven't you done the same?

463
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,430
If even you won't believe me,

464
00:21:54,340 --> 00:21:57,280
why would I bother
explaining myself to anyone else?

465
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,850
Was I…

466
00:22:07,820 --> 00:22:09,520
a little too harsh on you?

467
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,960
Yeah, you were.

468
00:22:19,060 --> 00:22:19,860
But...

469
00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:22,680
it's fine.

470
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,480
Miss Song drew this painting herself.

471
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,550
Please make sure it gets to Mr. Li.

472
00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:55,040
Well, well, Yunlong,

473
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:57,040
I didn't think I'd live to see

474
00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:58,720
the day you caught feelings.

475
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:07,040
Why is it you?

476
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:09,860
Do I know you?

477
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,240
Lewd.

478
00:23:13,530 --> 00:23:14,440
You don't know me,

479
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,620
and you're calling me lewd?

480
00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:16,960
You showed up uninvited

481
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,690
and insulted me when you saw me.

482
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,580
I'm just telling the truth.

483
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,550
You were out there on the street,

484
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,160
arms around two girls.

485
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:26,960
I wonder

486
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800
why such an upright guy like Mr. Li

487
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,040
keeps someone like you around.

488
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:34,960
Fine.

489
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:36,900
Guess I'm just unlucky
to have run into you,

490
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:37,680
okay?

491
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,280
Yunlong,

492
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,550
let's go.

493
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,040
You forgot the drawing.

494
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:44,770
The drawing.

495
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,480
You…

496
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,440
you drew me this time?

497
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,100
A fine sword for a noble man;

498
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,520
a bamboo branch for a graceful lady.

499
00:23:59,620 --> 00:24:00,680
May I ask,

500
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:02,480
what's your name?

501
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,280
The 73rd painting.

502
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:05,240
It's only…

503
00:24:05,380 --> 00:24:07,830
It's only the third day of the month.

504
00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:13,990
Miss Song Yiting, your hands

505
00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:15,100
are surprisingly strong.

506
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:16,040
I like drawing.

507
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,280
I want to draw. I'm good at it.

508
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,460
What's it to you?

509
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,770
Stop beating around the bush.

510
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:22,200
Where is

511
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,580
Mr. Li?

512
00:24:24,060 --> 00:24:25,340
I must see him today.

513
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:26,060
Chief

514
00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:27,380
isn't here.

515
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:30,280
He's not here right now,

516
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,870
but he might come back later.

517
00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:34,390
Yunlong,

518
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,280
go take Miss Song Yiting
upstairs to rest for a bit.

519
00:24:38,580 --> 00:24:40,080
Chief will be here soon.

520
00:24:49,550 --> 00:24:50,340
Stop!

521
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:55,210
Second Master.

522
00:24:55,860 --> 00:24:57,270
This is not appropriate.

523
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,200
What are you planning to do to Chief's

524
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,200
sister-in-law while he's not here?

525
00:25:02,340 --> 00:25:03,200
You jerk.

526
00:25:03,340 --> 00:25:04,680
Am I that kind of person?

527
00:25:05,550 --> 00:25:06,240
Really?

528
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Yes.

529
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,440
No!

530
00:25:07,870 --> 00:25:08,380
Look.

531
00:25:08,380 --> 00:25:09,380
Three days,

532
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:10,620
73 paintings.

533
00:25:10,620 --> 00:25:12,150
She's obsessed with Chief.

534
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,140
If we let her

535
00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:14,760
keep showing up like this,

536
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,480
she'll end up causing trouble
for Chief sooner or later.

537
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,800
If Chief's in trouble,

538
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:20,680
I'll be in trouble too.

539
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,760
So in the end,

540
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:24,140
I made this mess,

541
00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:25,720
and I have to clean it up.

542
00:25:26,380 --> 00:25:27,860
So what's your plan?

543
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:30,000
I'm a pro

544
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,620
at breakups.

545
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:43,720
Miss.

546
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,440
Have a seat.

547
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,300
Shannai.

548
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,580
No need.

549
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:53,280
The things outside

550
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,300
are dirty.

551
00:25:56,060 --> 00:25:57,550
Waning River Crescent is too shabby.

552
00:25:57,550 --> 00:25:58,750
I hope you don't mind.

553
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,900
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Li.

554
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,680
I'm just really into cleanliness

555
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,940
and never eat outside.

556
00:26:06,580 --> 00:26:08,250
It's not that I'm being picky.

557
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,300
No worries,

558
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,680
I get it.

559
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,300
You're someone who appreciates kindness.

560
00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:28,860
I helped you once,

561
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,210
and you sent me 73 paintings

562
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,820
in three days.

563
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,040
I really do appreciate the thought.

564
00:26:38,380 --> 00:26:40,800
As long as you like them.

565
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,000
But sometimes, when you go overboard,

566
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,650
it ends up becoming pressure.

567
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,240
You're elegant

568
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:49,230
and admired by everyone.

569
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,000
If you were in danger,

570
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,040
anyone would step in to help.

571
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,550
What I did

572
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,130
was not worth mentioning.

573
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,820
But

574
00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:01,520
if you really want to thank me,

575
00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:05,280
why don't we just have some tea together

576
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,860
and become friends?

577
00:27:07,340 --> 00:27:08,060
After that,

578
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:10,380
you don't have to thank me again.

579
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:14,720
Sorry. I'm so sorry.

580
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,040
I went overboard

581
00:27:17,060 --> 00:27:19,000
and made you feel uncomfortable.

582
00:27:20,380 --> 00:27:22,140
I get what you're saying.

583
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:23,770
I won't send you

584
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:27,300
any more paintings.

585
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,100
Mr. Li,

586
00:27:38,620 --> 00:27:39,620
I didn't send you

587
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,440
those paintings just to say thank you.

588
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,440
Like you said,

589
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,740
I sent you 73 paintings in three days.

590
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,620
Who does that

591
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:48,200
just to say thank you?

592
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,680
I like you.

593
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,900
But you're pretty, talented,

594
00:28:10,550 --> 00:28:11,860
and from a powerful family.

595
00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:13,530
You're like a cloud in the sky.

596
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,520
I have nothing to my name

597
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,900
and am always risking my life.

598
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:18,280
I'm like the mud on the ground.

599
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,680
We are so different.

600
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,960
You're way out of my league.

601
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,300
How about this?

602
00:28:24,580 --> 00:28:26,440
Let's finish this cup of tea

603
00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:29,550
and go our separate ways.

604
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,340
I see.

605
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:37,860
Mr. Li,

606
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,900
you're refusing me.

607
00:28:43,060 --> 00:28:46,100
Falling petals want to follow the stream,

608
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,680
but the stream has no interest in them.

609
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,580
Love

610
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:54,860
can't be forced.

611
00:28:56,900 --> 00:28:57,760
I'll drink…

612
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:01,140
this cup of tea.

613
00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:12,590
Sure, I'm a cloud in the sky,

614
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,550
but since I like you,

615
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:16,620
you're hardly mud on the ground.

616
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:18,680
I'm just surprised that

617
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:21,900
someone as free-spirited as you

618
00:29:22,620 --> 00:29:24,480
would care about family status.

619
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,530
You've lived a sheltered life.

620
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,800
How could you know how tough life is?

621
00:29:34,140 --> 00:29:35,680
People in the martial world

622
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,200
don't get a monthly salary,

623
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,200
own land, or have houses.

624
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,540
Home is wherever we go.

625
00:29:43,060 --> 00:29:45,060
You won't even drink from a cup here,

626
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,060
but I'm usually out there

627
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,140
surviving on whatever I can find.

628
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,000
I can drink this tea,

629
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:16,630
but it looks like you can't.

630
00:30:19,820 --> 00:30:21,620
It seems you didn't get my point.

631
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:21,820
I...

632
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:22,550
I get it.

633
00:30:22,550 --> 00:30:23,800
You don't get a salary,

634
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,340
but I can support you
with my monthly allowance

635
00:30:25,340 --> 00:30:26,440
from my family.

636
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,620
Land and houses are no problem.

637
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,050
Across all 36 prefectures of Great Jing,

638
00:30:31,060 --> 00:30:33,280
the Song family has estates everywhere.

639
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,900
If you want to roam the world,

640
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,480
as long as you marry me,

641
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,480
my home will be your home.

642
00:30:38,580 --> 00:30:39,380
No, wait,

643
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,010
how could I accept that?

644
00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:42,760
I'd be living off a woman.

645
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:44,580
When two people love each other,

646
00:30:44,580 --> 00:30:46,860
nothing else matters.

647
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,860
If you keep me happy,

648
00:30:50,060 --> 00:30:52,140
who cares who pays the bills?

649
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:54,970
B-But what if I don't like you?

650
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:56,630
What if I'm not into you?

651
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,060
Then I'll make you fall for me.

652
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,460
You just said it yourself,

653
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,680
someone like me

654
00:31:03,060 --> 00:31:04,240
is admired by countless people.

655
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,480
But

656
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,340
I'm not one of them.

657
00:31:06,340 --> 00:31:07,140
Look at me.

658
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,820
I love freedom.

659
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,760
I don't want to be tied to anyone.

660
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:16,040
Mr. Li,

661
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,060
running a place this big

662
00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:20,520
must give you little freedom.

663
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:25,350
You hit the nail on the head.

664
00:31:26,860 --> 00:31:27,680
That's right.

665
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,560
I need to keep
Waning River Crescent running.

666
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,820
Building a career

667
00:31:32,820 --> 00:31:34,300
is my top priority right now.

668
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:35,140
Romance

669
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:36,620
just gets in the way of business

670
00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:37,620
and making money.

671
00:31:39,550 --> 00:31:41,000
A month has 30 days.

672
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,440
I spend five playing the qin,

673
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,480
five reading,

674
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,520
five painting,

675
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:46,440
five out with my friends,

676
00:31:46,550 --> 00:31:48,300
and five with my parents.

677
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:50,550
The days I need you

678
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,060
add up to just five.

679
00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:53,480
On those five days,

680
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,280
I'll pay you double your daily take.

681
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,620
You won't lose a cent.

682
00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:02,630
[Three years ago]

683
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,620
I can run it for you.

684
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:04,370
But let me make it clear.

685
00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:05,950
A month has 30 days.

686
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,380
I spend five traveling,

687
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:08,680
five playing the flute,

688
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,960
five feasting,

689
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,240
five visiting old friends,

690
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,200
and five…

691
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,340
I'm not telling you.

692
00:32:15,550 --> 00:32:16,340
In short,

693
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,800
I can only stay here five days a month

694
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,380
to run this place for you.

695
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,280
How's that?

696
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Wait,

697
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,490
is that how you treat feelings?

698
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,240
Can money fix everything?

699
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,060
Can your money buy company

700
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:32,140
or true affection?

701
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,860
Money is just a worldly thing.

702
00:32:35,140 --> 00:32:37,680
If money can solve matters of the heart,

703
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,040
why not use it?

704
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,380
What I want is you

705
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,540
and your heart.

706
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:45,520
Love not weighed down by money

707
00:32:45,820 --> 00:32:47,380
is the purest love of all.

708
00:32:52,340 --> 00:32:53,860
L-Let me think.

709
00:32:54,060 --> 00:32:55,060
Let me think.

710
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:58,440
Mr. Li.

711
00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,800
Think it over.

712
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,480
I'll wait right here…

713
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:05,480
for your answer.

714
00:33:12,330 --> 00:33:13,450
[Chuyun Palace]

715
00:33:41,790 --> 00:33:42,570
My Lady,

716
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,040
you sent for me?

717
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:44,760
Yimeng,

718
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,580
come here.

719
00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:47,100
My Lady,

720
00:33:47,380 --> 00:33:48,910
are you feeling any better?

721
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,440
I made some snacks just for Heng,

722
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,440
but he left in a hurry

723
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,770
and forgot to take them.

724
00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:56,620
Go catch up to him.

725
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,900
Give them to him for me.

726
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,580
Isn't this

727
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,960
something Eunuch Yang should do?

728
00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:05,820
But look around.

729
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,580
In this entire hall,

730
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,240
is there anyone else?

731
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:14,440
My Lady,

732
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,950
isn't that a little too obvious?

733
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:19,720
Good girl,

734
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:21,870
since you know what I want,

735
00:34:21,870 --> 00:34:23,560
go chase after him now.

736
00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:25,640
But

737
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,560
My Lady,

738
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,080
His Highness and me…

739
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,830
w-we...

740
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,830
Since drinking the milk tea yesterday,

741
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,470
I've been feeling so uncomfortable.

742
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,080
Fine, I'll go.

743
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,280
I'll go right now.

744
00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:50,640
I heard you made a scene
in the Fanghua Hall yesterday

745
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,680
and scared those
noble ladies half to death.

746
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,470
Song Yimeng is my principal consort.

747
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:58,600
How could I let people speak ill of her?

748
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,160
Judging from your tone,

749
00:35:00,990 --> 00:35:02,560
the marriage with the Song family

750
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,200
is already set in stone.

751
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,410
Uncle, why does this
matter concern you so much?

752
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,120
Regarding the enfeoffment,

753
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,430
it's clear that His Majesty
has revived the old rule

754
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:15,240
from the previous dynasty
just to target you.

755
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,280
Yet the Eighteenth Prince
runs to the Song Residence every day,

756
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,720
showering Miss Song Yiting

757
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:21,830
with attention and gifts,

758
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:23,910
showing no restraint at all.

759
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,760
I have my own plan for the enfeoffment.

00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:29,350
As for Nan Rui,

761
00:35:30,350 --> 00:35:32,120
although I don't know Song Yiting,

762
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,680
I doubt she thinks much of Nan Rui.

763
00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:36,910
Miss Song Yiting may not care,

764
00:35:36,910 --> 00:35:39,640
but her mother, Madam Zhou, clearly does.

765
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,680
My view remains the same:

766
00:35:43,470 --> 00:35:45,800
rather than letting
Miss Song Yiting marry someone else

767
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,530
and strengthen another force,

768
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,280
you should marry both Song sisters.

769
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,600
A wife should be chosen for her virtue,

770
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,060
a concubine for her looks.

771
00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:57,870
We need to get a firm grip
on the Song family's power.

772
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,160
My answer

773
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,720
hasn't changed.

774
00:36:05,350 --> 00:36:06,160
Absurd.

775
00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:07,160
Good.

A wife should be chosen for her virtue,

He is your brother-in-law!

He used to be.

I'll let you be his principal consort,

00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,470
the one he loves most

794
00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:17,600

That's not true.
