Song: 雲天外 - 陸毅 Beyond the Clouds - by Lu Yi

♫ The sea of bitterness knows no borders. Turn around; there’s the shore. ♫

♫ I don’t dare to turn around, afraid that you will scatter and leave. ♫

♫ Tumbling in the mortal world, going around in circles. ♫

♫ In my eyes, I only have you, looking towards me. ♫

♫ Let me finish telling you about my love. ♫

♫ Let my heart call out loudly. ♫

♫ I will even entangle myself in six levels of reincarnation. ♫

♫ I will never let you feel lost all alone. ♫

♫ My love endures, too quickly. ♫♫ In a moment, I am beyond the clouds and the sky. ♫

♫ Don’t throw it away so easily. ♫♫ Do not fret over whether it is good or bad. ♫

♫ Your love is what I depend upon, ♫♫ Without you, this world is pale ♫

♫ Even if it all turns into dust, ♫♫ at least I want to be with you through life and death.♫

Love YunGe from the Desert

Episode 21

What is that place?

That place is Zhaoyang Palace. I heard that since the previous emperor's reign, it has been empty until now.

Let's go take a look!

This place is so elegant.

Yes!

-Mo Cha, look.-You said no one lives here, why is it so clean?

May I ask...?

My name is Yun Ge. I was passing by and saw that it is elegant, so I came in to take a look.

Which palace's madam are you?

I'm just a palace maid from Xuan Shi Palace, doing miscellaneous work there.

Miss, you are joking. You don't look like a maid.

Your name is Cheng Er? What a nice sounding name!

Although the majestic splendours are not as grand as Jiaofang Palace (Empress Residence)

but the place is quiet, tastefully laid out and unique.

Why has it been empty since the previous emperor?

A Madam Li once lived here.

Madam Li?

The one know as "with one smile, she can bend the whole citywith another smile, she can bend the whole world"? that Madam Li?(i.e. Her beauty can turn the heads of everyone)

Every day I clean and sweep the Zhaoyang Palace. From time to time, I'll take the paintings out to sun. With the passing of time,

I usually can see a few isolated words and phrases left behind by the previous emperor and Madam Li.

You know how to read?

My father is a teacher, and the classroom is at home.

I worked while listening, so I learned a bit!

So wonderful.

You are a good person and know how to care for plants.

I know of some exotic flowers and rare herbs that needs a person to with tender affections.

Can I ask you to take care of it?

Where is it?

Jiaofang Palace. (The Empress' Residence)

You still entered the palace in the end.

You really have your ways.

I've never thought of fighting for power with you, so you don't need to treat me as an enemy.

Do you still remember how well you spoke of yourself that day?

What did you say? You don't love for benefits.

Not long after,

you want to fly to the top and be a phoenix?

I don't need to answer to you about my matters with Brother Ling.

One side is Meng Jue, the other is the emperor.

You can still pedal two boats.

There is nothing between me and Meng Jue any more.

Do whatever you wish.

Don't drag me into it.

As for Brother Ling, the emperor already has the empress.

I will protect Xiao Mei.

I won't let you do as you wish.

Let's just wait and see.

Firstly admit Jianyi Dafu Meng Jue to report to the throne(Jianyi Dafu is a senior official in feudal China).

Your Majesty,

today, the Minister of War General Huo acted improperly,

With his position, bully's the people. Seek personal gain by abusing his position and authority.

In office with a high position, although embellish himself, but have not managed his household. This is his first crime.

Huo's household servant, Feng Zi Dou, takes advantage of his own powers to bully people.

monopolising the sales of alcohol and forces himself onto women. This is his second crime.

The Hou family's relatives, relies on the Huo's official positions power and influences.

Lower's the grain prices, buys it in at low price, then sells it out at a higher price. Monopolising the markets, to profiteer.

This is his third crime.The Huo's family housekeeper, Yu Guanyuan, his actions

not only does he not abide by laws and regulations,Collude with the People's Minister

Ordered his underlings to beat up the imperial court's minister in the street. This is his fourth crime.

That Meng Jue, is playing with our family in the palms of his hands.

He is too much!

Right now in those marketplace and wine shop, gossiping about what?

Now there's a servant of the Hou family, who's surname is Feng with all his relations, rely on the military powers.

- Makes fun of the wine shops...- Enough!

My meaning is that Meng Jue must have set this all up!

Does he really think the emperor will support him?

My Lord, I have a way of getting rid of Meng Jue without leaving behind marks.

-It's just...-Getting rid of Meng Jue?

Meng Jue now holds the position of Jianyi Dafu.

The previous emperor's edict is outside of all the lords' power!

Right now, not even the emperor can easily decide if he lives or dies!

The entire world knows Meng Jue offended us!

If he dies just like that,

The accusation of the Huo Family plotting to murder the faithful and upright will be established.

This...

Father, could it be that we just swallow this humiliation?

You are the Minister of War above everyone else!

Do you want the Huo family to be guilty of being an evil lord?

From today on, keep a good eye on both your people!

If something so ridiculous happens again,

Who ever does it, take care of them.

-Yes.-Yes.

Go on.

Do you have good eyes or did your eyes see wrong?

You found such a person to bring the Huo family trouble!

Father, Mother. I'm sorry.

It's in the past. Forget it.

As long as you have really put him down, that's good.

I have nothing to do with that person anymore.

Daddy, you don't need to worry.

Since it's like this, let me ask you.

How do you think we should deal with this matter?

As I see things, not doing anything is the best.

Cheng Jun, why are you still protecting him?

Mother, Father. I'm not intending to speak on Meng Jue's behalf.

Even thought he brought 20 crimes against the Huo family this time,

none of them have a direct connection to you, Father.

Father's only mistake is you weren't strict on your servants.

So, we can see that Meng Jue is still careful around Father.

He's not daring to run the risk.

Speak. Continue speaking...

Yes.

Right now, the Huo family is at trouble's door with all eyes watching.

No matter what we do, the more we do the more wrong it will be.

So, not only do we need to do nothing with those against the Huo family,

On the contrary, treat them with manners, let other people see our tolerance.

However, Father.

The people inside the Huo family must be careful as well. The Huo family is caught in the wind right now and the thorn in the emperor's side.

If not put in order,

Actually, even if there was no Meng Jue today, if something should happen in the future, someone else

would attack the Huo family.

Hurry and get up.

Daughter, why were you born as a daughter?

If you were a son,

I would not need to be so troubled.

Greetings, empress.

Grandfather, grandmother, how could you be so ceremonial to me?

Hurry and get up!

Zh Ai, I want to speak with Grandfather and Grandmother. You can leave first.

-Yes.-Yes.

Granfather, Grandmother, have you been well?

Good, good. Very good.

Aunt hasn't entered the palace in a long time.

I miss her a lot. If she has free time, can she come see me?

Of course she can.

Thank you empress for your care. Everything is well at home.

Empress, have you been well?

Empress, you entered the palace at a young age and didn't have an elder to take care of you by your side.

I cannot be at ease.

But there is something that I do not dare to care about.

Grandmother, Grandfather, you are the closest to me now.

If you don't care about me, there is no one for me to rely on in the palace

Xiao Mei, has the emperor rested here in the past few days?

The emperor has often come to see me.

He cannot just come see you. You must keep him here.

Xiao Mei, no matter what you think in your heart,

His Majesty is after all the Emperor. You must respect him. Try to please him.

As long as the emperor likes you,

only then will you be happy in the palace.

Xiao Mei,

what do you think of Miss Yun who recently entered the palace?

Sister Yun is very nice.

She makes delicious food and takes me to go play too!

Why are you still so foolish?

Grandfather, did I say something wrong to make you angry?

No, you didn't do anything wrong.

I just want to remind you.

You are our Huo family's person.

When necessary, you must speak for our Huo family in front of the emperor.

I don't understand anything.

If I say something wrong, to make the emperor unhappy,

isn't that creating more trouble?

It's fine.

Your grandfather has his plans. You do not need to worry about anything.

You only need to listen to his arrangements.

Then it'll be fine.

Look at this child, he cries so loudly.

Let me look.

Do you think Hu Er looks more like you or me?

Of course he looks like you.

Really?

Look at how beautiful his crying sound is.

Don't cry, don't cry.

Don't cry!

Bingyi, Sir Meng has come to congratulate you.

Really?

Come.

Congratulations.

Newly appointed Jianyi Dafu.

I should be the one congratulating you.

What is more worth congratulating then being a new father?

But I really don't know what you're thinking.

You don't want a high minister's position with high government salary. You only want this small position of Jianyi Dafu.

With one swoop and you have a son. What's your plans for the future?

Are you asking about the child's identity?

Hu Er's identity is royalty. According to law it should be reported.

But that year, Prince Wei's rebellion hasn't yet settled.

If we report it like that, I'm afraid it'll bring trouble to this home.

About what happened with Prince Wei, thing have already changed with the lapse of time.

Perhaps the crisis can make a turn for the better.

For your sake, wash away your injustice and obtain a redress (of a mishandled case).

I still cannot.

I must protect my wife and child. I cannot let them face danger.

But if you don't report him, you break the law.

This...

Empress, why don't you go rest? Let me arrange the flowers.

Okay, I'll leave it to you.

Little miss, when did you come? Why haven't I seen you before?

In response to Your Highness, the time when I was sent over

Your Highness was still laying on the phoenix bed, recuperating your body.

I have not come close to wait on you.

So it is like that.

Then how long have you been in the palace?

Which palace did you serve in before?

It's been almost three years since I entered the palace. I've been working in Zhaoyang palace

I heard the older maids say that Zhaoyang Palace was where the previous emperor's favorite Madam Li lived.

But that Madam Li died young.

The previous emperor missed her, so he always kept Zhaoyang Palace empty.

If a woman can have love while she is living,

and make the emperor keep Zhaoyang Palace empty for her after death,

she has really lived in her life.

Xiao Mei!

Sister Yun, you've come?

I made some snacks for you today.

Come, give it a try.

This is make from this year's spring time picked plums.

It's sweet and sour, you should like it.

So delicious!

Ah Zi.

What's wrong? Do you still feel unwell?

I'm okay, Sister Yun.

I'm just here thinking, Sister Yun can cook and make little snacks.

And I do not know how to do anything.

No wonder Brother Emperor likes you.

Xiao Mei, every person has their good points.

Xiao Mei, your heart is like an orchid, your sincere and lovable

Your beauty and good is just like the elegant pure white jasmine. Slowly releasing it's delicate fragrance.

Your fragrance has entered all of our hearts.

You must have confidence in yourself.

I'm not as good as what Sister Yun says I am.

Miss Yun, please have some tea.

It seem Sister Yun especially likes Cheng-er.

I see her appearance is graceful, when she does things, is diligent and considerate.

It's a waste to leave her in the Zhaoyang Palace.

Recently, I've planned something really fun.

Wait until you've fully recovered, I'll give you a big surprise.

Then you rest up, I'll leave first.

Cheng-er, continue to tell me,

In the end, why did you leave the Zhaoyang Palace?

One day, Miss Yun passed by Zhaoyang Palace. Felt that I could take care of flowers and trees.

Said the Empress is a exotic flower and rare herb and told me to take good care of you.

Afterwards, Head Eunuch Yu sent me over here.

You may leave.

Yes.

Cheng Yun greets Your Highness.

Aunt, you are here.

Just now, I was about to come in, by chance saw Yunge leave, so I just stood outside the door for a bit.

I never would have thought this woman's scheming is so deep

Actually plant a spy near you.

Lucky I discovered it early.

A spy.

Aunt you've misunderstood, Sister Yun is doing something nice.

Everytime time she comes she'll only call Her Highness by her name.

This is the Palace, she doesn't pay attention to any of the rules.

Who does she think she is?

Your Highness, you are just too kindhearted.

Other people treats you well on the surface, you accept it as true.

I won't talk about just this, ever since she's entered the Palace, how many times has the Emperor came to see you?

His Majesty, maybe he's busy with court matters.

Busy with court matters?

Everyday, Yunge drags the Emperor out everywhere to play.

You're still here defending her.

You are so silly.

Aunt will advise you, towards this woman

you have to be careful.

You can't let your guards down.

Brother Ling, do you feel that telling stories like this, is just like back then when we were telling stories out in the Southern Plains?

That night, we told stories all night.

Yes, these past years, I'll always think about that night.

From now on, each day we need to take out some time to mutually tell each other different strange and amusing stories,

to make up for all the one's we've missed.

Just now I've told one.

Now it's your turn.

Come, I'll time you.

Have you heard of the minor nomads of the Western Regions?

Their King is a woman.

This is interesting.

That day, we set out from Lake Peacock, very early in the morning. The sky was dusky.

After that, we saw some very strange travelling merchant. The clothes they're wearing, I've never seen it before.

Afterwards, we went to a small town.

That small town, all of the stuff I've never seen before, the fruits and novel toys.

There, I ate a bowl of mutton noodle soup.

That mutton noodles, now thinking about it, I'm drooling.

You, like this, dragging irrelevant matters in telling the story, when will you get to the Nomad Western Region Queen.

I still have to set a time limit with you.

Alright, alright, we'll skip this part.

But this is very interesting. You don't know about this singing-girl how beautiful she was.

When she was singing, we all forgot that we were hurrying on our journey. Even my brother halted to hear her sing.

Ok, before I count to ten, you'll have to finish this section.

- One...- You don't know, her skin was whiter than sheep's fat.

- Two...- Her waist is more flexible than willow.

- Also... when she sang, our camels stopped to listen to her sing, not willing to leave.- Three...

- I gave her a bunch of silvers coins. Told her to quickly leave, but she won't. Then A-Zhu said she seems to look like..., - Four...Five... Six...

- But tell me, isn't that strange? She's actually a man?- Seven... Eight.

Nine... hurry move aside.

No.

Fire.

Okay.

You saw it, you didn't help me pull it out.

I told you to move aside, you insisted on not moving.

Still stand by your reasoning.

What about your reasoning?

Annoying.

Just now, you're defeated in telling the story.

How can I be defeated? Who's defeated?

Then continue telling the story.

I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm not continuing.

- Really rare seeing the Emperor so happy. -Fu Yu and Mo Cha.

- Your Majesty. - Tidy up inside.

Let's go.

Your Majesty.

♫ In my starry sky, only a blanket of darkness remains. ♫

♫ Without you by my side, ♫

In the past, when I felt bored, I'll come out for a walk.

Right now, it's good, I have you here to accompany me.

♫ Even breathing seems to be so far away. ♫

♫ Hear no more. Possess no more. I gradually feel your warmth in my hand. ♫

♫ Dare not look... ♫

What is it, want to leave the Palace?

Sister Xu and Big Brother's baby should have been born by now.

Back then they said I'll be the child's aunt.

The Big Brother you are talking about is the one you mistakenly thought it was me?

Liu Bing Yi?

Fine, tomorrow, I'll go with you.

Brother Ling, come over here.

I've heard, before that concubine who's selling wine, she's returned to selling alcoholic drinks.

Are you talking about that Huo family servant, like a dog threatening people on the strength of it's master's powers, Feng Zi Dou? Who bullies and threaten people?

- Yes.- Their wines are especially good to drink.

These past few days, I haven't drank it, been thinking about it.

Tell me, what is going on?

It's all thanks to that newly appointed, Jianyi Dafu Meng Jue. honourable and awe-inspiring. Protecting the people.

- It's because His Majesty chose the person for the job wisely. - Brother Ling.

We should go see if there's any new toys, we can't go empty handed to see little nephew.

Okay, let's go see.

Thank you.

Have a look. So interesting.

What's going on in front, let's go have a look.

Look at that little thing, so pretty.

This one appears to be older.

Look at this little somersaulting one.

Brother Yu, do you want to see what's inside?

- Yes.- I have an idea that'll work.

You only need to run over there shouting, inside that's my nephew. The people inside will move aside for you.

Okay.

Everyone, move aside, move aside.

Inside is my nephew... is my nephew.

Why is it a monkey?

Since it's like that, Brother Yu, as I see it you should bring them back.

Wait until they get older, we'll release them into the mountains.

Treat it like you're doing something kind.

Don't leave... look, look...

Brother Yu, I didn't know inside was a monkey.

That monkey was cute, it's not bad that he's your nephew.

Cute? I didn't see you calling him your nephew.

Not only if he's my nephew, even if you said he's my son, I'll admitt to it.

My family has Sister Snow, who's a white wolf.

Yes, I've seen it, I can prove it.

His fur is whiter than yours.

Miss Yun, you are not married, but say you have a son, what about the father?

You said you're the monkey's mother, I'm his uncle. Just now, Sir has just called me Brother Yu...

- could it be...- Hey...

Chatting, we're almost there.

Sir.

Yunge!

- Sister Xu! - Yunge?

- Sister Xu! - Yunge, it's really you.

It's really you, sister really misses you.

Hu-er also misses you.

- I have so much to say to you, I don't know where to start. - Slowly talk.

This is my Sister Xu, that is my Big Brother Liu.

This is...

I've seen this Sir before.

Last time I ran out in a rush, I still haven't apologize to madam.

You are too polite Sir, since you are Yunge's friend, you are also our friend.

Sister, this is Brother Ling.

My surname is Liu, the same surname as your husband's.

That's such a coincidence.

I still have to thank you Mister Liu for taking care of Yunge.

Please come in to sit.

Yes, come in and sit.

Hu'er.

Little Hu'er.

I'm your aunt.

Call me aunt.

You and Bing Yi are smart people, why are you both doing silly things.

Bing Yi will all day long say, call me dad, call me dad.

Think about it, the baby is so small, if he called him dad and you aunt, it'll shock you to death.

Carry the baby over, let me see.

Let's go.

Hu-er.

Look.

We came in a rush, so didn't prepare a present. This is something small to represent our thoughts.

Mr Liu, this is too expensive, we cannot accept it.

Besides, I am the baby's senior, this is really nothing.

I will represent Hu'er to thank you Sir.

Hu'er is his nickname, what is his real name?

We still haven't given him his name, so we continue to call him by his nickname.

Yunge, your friend seems to be refine.

He's a person with fortune.

Could we ask that he bestow a name for Hu'er.

Brother Ling, just choose a name for Hu-er.

Today I leisurely flipped through this book, I rather like the word "Shi"('Shi' means majestic manner).

How about we use this work as Hu-er's name?

Thank you Mr Liu.

- Liu Shi.- Let's come over here.

- Liu Shi.- Teach me how to write it.

- Ok.- Quickly teach me how to write it.

Quick, teach me how to write it.

Come...

Hu'er, you have a name.

- The word Shi is written like this. - Let me try.

Ok, give him to me.

Little Hu'er.

Hug, hug...

Look, look at your mother writing.

Within Lunyu, which is your favorite piece of writing? (Lunyu is the Analets of Confucius)

What I like the most is the Zi Han piece. Cold weather, afterwards knowing the pine and cypress will wither.

The weather is cold and the ground is frozen.Frost and snow covered. Only pine and cypress grows as lush green.

In this taste of hardship, it's really allows a person to understand. Only an extraordinary person can rise up to it.

May I boldly ask Mr Liu, the pine and cypress that is able to withstand the freezing cold, is it possible or not to have any value in existing?

Every living thing has a value in existing. Pine and cypress are no exception.

Value is decided within one's heart.

Hu-er, Hu-er, don't cry, don't cry.

Your mom and dad is not paying attention to you. Aunt will take care of you. Aunt will play with you.

Binyi, look Yunge is spoiling Hu-er. When she leaves

Hu-er doesn't want to know me.

If I don't spoil him, who's going to spoil him?

If you really like kids, hurry and find someone to marry.

you can have one yourself.

I'll return him.

The day is getting late, you and Bing Yi should rest early.

Sister Xu, then we're going to go back.

Mister Liu, thank you for taking care of Yunge.

I also thank you for taking care of Yunge before.

Come visit us again another day.

Bingyi, what did you and that Mr Liu talked about?

I didn't really understand.

Do you know who he is?

He is Yunge's friend right?

The two of you look quite similar.

If people didn't know you two, would think you are both related.

We are related.

What nonsense are you talking about?

His last name is Liu, his name is Fu Ling.

He's the current reigning Emperor.

Ping Jun, now you understand why I asked the emperor

to bestow Hu-er a name.

In future if there is a day when we are in danger,

At least that could protect Hu-er's life.

So... you never selected a name for Hu-er.

is because of Hu-er's life.

What? You said Brother Bing Yi is of royal lineage.

Li Bing Yi is his nick name, his real name should be Liu Xun.

His jade piece and my jade piece are made from the same jade and from the same jade master.

So that's why you mistook it earlier.

Brother Ling, will you consipire against him now?

Silly girl, if I want to conspire against him.

Would I grant him his wish and bestow a name for his son?

Don't worry,

He's a family member of the Liu Family and he's your Big Brother, I won't harm him.

I believe you.

You want me to enter the Palace?

I've been ordered by Head Eunuch Yu...

I've been ordered by Head Eunuch Yu, to accompany you into the Palace, the horse cart is outside.

- Please get changed. - Okay.

Then I will wait for you outside.

Ping Yun, the water in the tank has been used up.

You drink what's left, don't go filling it up yourself.

Wait until I'm back and I'll fill it up.

Bing Yi.

If you don't come back.

I will think of a way to save you.

Don't worry, nothing will happen to me.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

You must come back.

Daddy will definitely come back.

Your dad must come back for sure.

Definately come back.

There's so many books in here.

Yes.

The Palace is not as faraway as the great desert.

But it's not as if you can go anywhere as you please.

If there weren't for these books to divert oneself (from boredom), the days will pass very unmeaningful.

These book, each word, not missing one, you've read them all?

Brother Ling, let's have a competition?

Okay.

If you can think of a question that can stump me.

The year we've agreed on, we'll shorten it by a month.

Fu Yu, Mo Cha, quickly come over.

Yes.

So many book, I don't believe I can't stump you.

Mo Cha, Fu Yu, you must assist me, you must help me find a question that can stump His Majesty.

I won't dare.

You are pardoned. You both can help Miss Yun, come up with a question to stump me. Not only will I not punish you.

On the contrary, I'll reward you.

Thank you Your Majesty.

Your Highness, the courtyard's red plum blossoms are opening really nicely.

Have a smell, isn't it very fragrant.

The emperor also likes the smell of red plum blossoms.

Every year in winter, the emperor's concerned that my health is weak.

Will always come to my residence to play chess with me. The emperor says that the red plum blossoms in my residence are

are the best.

The emperor treats Your Highness so well.

Your Highness, I've heard the imperial garden's flowers are bloomed very beautifully.

Your Highness haven't left your residence for a long time.

The imperial physician instructed Your Highness to get more sunshine.

How about Your Highness follow's me for a stroll.

Okay, I also want to go see Sister Yun.

Let me.

The tea is ready.

"Think of without guilt" can you both guess what that means?

Think of without guilt?

I only know a few complex words, Fu Yu, quickly guess.

Think of without guilt?

Thinking without guilt is Xin Zheng (just heart).

It's the Zheng in Fa Zheng (baffled).(Zheng word in this context is written as xin (heart) + zheng (just))

That's correct.

This question is too easy. Another one.

Miss Yun, the emperor is smarter than us a hundred times.

I don't believe that Brother Ling will know everything.

Hey, you both hurry and help me think, you have to think of a way to stump His Majesty.

I will reward you greatly.

But if we help Miss Yun stump His Majesty, then that's really disrespectful.

I don't care, besides, you both are with me.

The three of us are in the same boat. You must be loyal to your friends.

Your not allowed to let the boat sink.

This is interesting.

A girl is really cute.

Doesn't eat meat or fish, but eat tree leaves.

All day long work to spinning and weaving threads. So that other people has nice dresses.

You both guess what is this?

I know is it... silkworm?

Mo Cha, you're so smart.

Miss Yun, look at this, will it do?

It's shape is fat, ordinarily found concealed in mud, it's whole body is covered in honeycombs. Raw or cooked are all tasty.

It's something edible.

I already know this one. It's what I usually make, lotus root.

It's still Miss Yun who's awesome.

Brother Ling has read all these books before, to find a riddle that could stump him is very difficult.

I think,

I must pick these books to shred, only then could we win Brother Ling.

Right Miss Yun

Today, His Majesty is seeing Liu Bing Yi in the royal study.

Brother Ling has ordered to see Big Brother.

This I got to see.

Miss Yun... Miss Yun.

Miss Yun.

Lord Liu, please follow me.

Back then if my grandfather wasn't framed by those people.

The person who'd live here

would be me.

Your Majesty, Liu Bing Yi has arrived.

Greetings Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you Your Majesty.

In your life, until now

What is the thing you most want to do?

You are something Liu Fu Ling, I thought of hundreds and thousands of questions you could ask.

I thought I was prepared thoroughly, but I was wrong.

In my life, it seems like there's not a time where I've been happy.

If you insist that I say something, then possibly when my son was born.

At the time, I still didn't know if I was happy or sad.

In fact, the one thing that I most want to do is be a minister.

Every since I was small, I was homeless and miserable. I wore old clothes and ate what I could.

I know very well that a good minister, can bring benefit to a region. Yet a corrupt minister, can affect millions of people's lives.

I've encountered a lot of greedy and corrupted ministers. Sometimes I hate them so much,

Even to the extent that I want to kill them.

But I know that this is not the upright way. What the brave must do,

is to punish the corrupt ministers. That cannot benefit the common people.

Only if one can be a good minister, to help His Majesty set able and virtuous laws,

Only then can it bring benefit to the common people.

Good, you are daring.

Just now if you had said you show high ideals by simple living, you're broad-minded, unoccupied.. and so on.

I would have ordered you to immediately leave Chang'an.

Forever not allowed to enter within 800 miles of Chang'an surrounds areas. Make you go live in a faraway unoccupied country side.

To think a lowly person who cockfighting and a traitor.

Still reading at night and discussing languages.

If you'd say I don't aim high, then aren't are lying to Your Majesty.

Reporting to Your Majesty, the Minister of War is heading straight to the imperial study, he's about to arrive.

Yu An.

Okay, Lord Liu, please follow me.

Closing Song: 綠羅裙 Green Flowing Skirt - by Angelababy

♫ In my starry sky, only a blanket of darkness remains. ♫

♫ Without you by my side, the numerous stars disappear. ♫

♫ Sometimes your retreating figure hides itself; sometimes it appears. ♫

♫ Even breathing seems to be so far away. ♫

♫ Hear no more. Possess no more. I gradually feel your warmth in my hand. ♫

♫ Dare not look, dare not think. Memories have you have become hazy. ♫

♫ The green flowing skirt drifts in the wind. Yet when I extend my hand, nothing. ♫

♫ Tears in the corner of my eyes are among the clouds. Once I reminisce, they follow the wind. ♫

♫ Words I haven’t finished uttering stop at my lips. ♫

♫ I still can’t understand your gaze, the endless pain. ♫

♫ The green flowing skirt in my dreams drifts towards the ends of the earth. ♫

♫ In the blink of an eye, everything dissolves into the flowing years. ♫
