168
00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:04,270
Father,

169
00:11:04,910 --> 00:11:06,150
you are finally back.

170
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,330
Darling, no matter how angry you were,

171
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:11,240
you shouldn't have beaten her like this.

172
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,790
After all, Yao Yao is a girl.

173
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,670
Father...

174
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,420
Your good daughter

175
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:22,280
trimmed the tails
of your two beloved horses.

176
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:25,550
My... My...

177
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:26,710
M-My...

178
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:28,670
Dilu?

179
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:31,480
Father.

180
00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:33,720
It hurts.

181
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,930
It really hurts.

182
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Isn't it just a horse?

183
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:39,980
You still shouldn't have beaten her.

184
00:11:39,980 --> 00:11:42,380
When has she ever
taken a beating honestly?

185
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:49,550
Why didn't you tie the cushion today?

186
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:50,750
She didn't tie the cushion?

187
00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:52,950
Nanxing, fetch the physician quickly!

188
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:53,690
Yes, Madam.

189
00:11:54,740 --> 00:11:56,720
Are you trying to infuriate me to death?

190
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Since you didn't tie the cushion,

191
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,320
why didn't you cry out
when you were beaten?

192
00:12:00,550 --> 00:12:02,670
You don't care about me anyway, Mother.

193
00:12:02,670 --> 00:12:04,270
So crying out was pointless.

194
00:12:05,270 --> 00:12:08,000
If beating me could
make you feel better, Mother,

195
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,190
I'd just let you beat me.

196
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:10,190
I could endure it.

197
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,270
Darling,

198
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,700
Yao Yao knows she is wrong.

199
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,980
She won't dare to do it ever again.

200
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:21,430
You always spoil her.

201
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:23,640
That's why she is so unruly now.

202
00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:27,380
I'm anxious to arrange a marriage for her
just because...

203
00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:29,350
Forget it.

204
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,320
I can't discipline you anymore.

205
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,380
Let the Xies' ancestors educate you.

206
00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:34,790
Go reflect on your mistakes
at the ancestral hall.

207
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:36,150
Copy the "Book of Rites" 100 times.

208
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:38,810
You are not allowed to come out
until you finish.

209
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:40,390
Yes, copy.

210
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,790
Mother, I will do it.

211
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,510
I will copy it 100 times.

212
00:12:45,510 --> 00:12:46,370
Your Highness,

213
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Prince Changsha is here.

214
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,320
Prince Changsha?

215
00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:51,840
Stay put here and behave yourself.

216
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,700
Don't come out.

217
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,720
Your Highness, what are these?

218
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,680
[Prince Changsha]

219
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:03,980
Betrothal gifts, of course.

220
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:05,980
I have admired Jiayu for a long time.

221
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,750
So I specifically came
to deliver the betrothal gifts today.

222
00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:09,610
Where is Jiayu?

223
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,910
Jiayu!

224
00:13:11,270 --> 00:13:12,320
-Jiayu?
-Your...

225
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,720
Your Highness, you must be joking.

226
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,030
Jiayu is still young.

227
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:17,270
She is not in a hurry to get married.

228
00:13:17,270 --> 00:13:19,320
Why did I hear
that Her Highness has recently

229
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,200
been looking
for a marriage match for Jiayu?

230
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:21,910
But unfortunately,

231
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:23,870
Jiayu didn't take a liking to any of them.

232
00:13:23,870 --> 00:13:25,440
She even scared away

233
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:27,480
Young Master Bai today.

234
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,510
So,

235
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,630
Jiayu is still too young

236
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,800
and immature.

237
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:36,390
I plan to keep her by my side

238
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,750
and discipline her for a few more years.

239
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:40,210
That would be even better.

240
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:43,120
Your Highness, you carry on
the late Empress Dowager's

241
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,250
imperial demeanor.

242
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,870
And the Grand Tutor, needless to say,

243
00:13:45,870 --> 00:13:47,670
boasts the elegance of a noble family.

244
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:50,320
In the future,
when Jiayu follows me into the palace,

245
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,850
she will surely impress the world
as empress.

246
00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:55,150
Your Highness, the Xie family and I

247
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,980
have no intention
of sending Jiayu to the imperial palace.

248
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:15,210
It doesn't matter.

249
00:14:15,270 --> 00:14:16,070
She is young,

250
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:18,770
so you, my aunt, and the Grand Tutor
can't bear to let her go.

251
00:14:18,770 --> 00:14:19,730
I can wait.

252
00:14:20,390 --> 00:14:21,320
However, I

253
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:24,360
also admire
the Grand Tutor's talent and dignity.

254
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,630
In three days, at the Lantai gathering,

255
00:14:25,630 --> 00:14:27,700
I will hold a poetry gathering
at the Mid-Lake Pavilion.

256
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:28,830
Grand Tutor, I'll be

257
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:32,410
waiting for you
to give your guidance on poetry.

258
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,440
Farewell.

259
00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:41,050
What an arrogant jerk.

260
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,030
If the world falls into his hands,

261
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:45,430
wouldn't the people be like
living in hell?

262
00:14:46,030 --> 00:14:48,360
Prince Changsha has been forming factions,

263
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,560
craving the support of noble families.

264
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,750
If it weren't to win over you
and the honest officials,

265
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:55,950
he wouldn't have targeted Jiayu at all.

266
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,240
It's my fault.

267
00:14:59,230 --> 00:15:01,680
I don't allow you
to go to that poetry gathering.

268
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,540
I didn't say I was going, Darling.

269
00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:07,670
You are in such a hurry
to arrange a marriage for Yao Yao,

270
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:09,960
but she likes Mao.

271
00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:12,470
Prince Changsha is out of the question,

272
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:14,180
and Prince Qi is even more so.

273
00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:17,120
In view of Prince Changsha's eagerness,

274
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,960
I'm afraid it will happen soon.

275
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:27,530
You've started copying already?

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,550
Father.

277
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,150
I brought you some food.

278
00:15:31,510 --> 00:15:32,570
Thank you, Father.

279
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,270
I thought you were copying the book.

280
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,150
What are you designing now?

281
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,160
Father, lend me your jade crown.

282
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,030
You're giving this jade crown to Mao?

283
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,510
Mao left the capital on a mission
for the Empress Dowager this time.

284
00:15:54,510 --> 00:15:57,030
He went to Qingyun Mountain to seek
medical help and pray for His Majesty.

285
00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:59,490
It is said that he found
a miraculous doctor.

286
00:15:59,510 --> 00:16:01,960
Then the Empress Dowager
will definitely reward him.

287
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,720
Mao said

288
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,530
that when the time comes,
he will ask for a fief

289
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,100
and then come to propose to me.

290
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:11,200
This will be
the most important day of his life.

291
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,860
I want to give him a jade crown,

292
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,030
so he can look his best on that day.

293
00:16:18,030 --> 00:16:19,630
Why are you sighing, Father?

294
00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:21,360
I'm jealous.

295
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,120
Jealous?

296
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:24,670
I haven't even received

297
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:27,080
a jade crown personally designed
by my daughter,

298
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,200
but that boy beat me to it.

299
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:30,600
Father!

300
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,040
Mao is the student you're most proud of.

301
00:16:33,630 --> 00:16:34,840
If you like it, Father,

302
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,200
when it's your birthday,

303
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,150
I'll buy a piece of fine jade
and carve one for you myself.

304
00:16:39,150 --> 00:16:40,010
How about that?

305
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,660
I don't need these things.

306
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,670
I'll just be happy as long as you cause

307
00:16:46,390 --> 00:16:48,050
less trouble for your mother.

308
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,870
Come on, eat it while it's hot.

309
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:52,390
Okay.

310
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,670
My Lady, please get off.

311
00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:07,680
My Lady,
I really don't think I can do this.

312
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,510
Maybe I should just go back.

313
00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:09,790
You can do this. Come on.

314
00:17:09,790 --> 00:17:10,400
Trust yourself.

315
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,530
-Let's go.
-I can't.

316
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,569
You are Young Master of Miraculous Craft.

317
00:17:20,349 --> 00:17:21,160
Yes, it's me.

318
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,750
I heard you two want to negotiate

319
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:24,829
a big deal worth 3,000 taels of silver.

320
00:17:24,829 --> 00:17:26,000
What exactly do you want to buy?

321
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,300
Young Master of Miraculous Craft,

322
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:28,790
can you really make anything?

323
00:17:28,790 --> 00:17:29,640
Of course.

324
00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:31,480
From flying wooden kites

325
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,720
to waterwheels for drawing water,

326
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,510
as long as it's a mechanical device,

327
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:35,710
there is nothing I...

328
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,880
There's nothing our Young Lady can't make.

329
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,640
Three feet long, weighing sixteen taels,

330
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,680
portable,

331
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,830
a repeating crossbow
that shoots four arrows at once.

332
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:46,690
Can you make it?

333
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:57,720
What?

334
00:17:58,590 --> 00:17:59,520
Are you stumped?

335
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,400
What do you need

336
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,110
this item for, sir?

337
00:18:04,110 --> 00:18:05,110
It's a gift.

338
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,790
It's a weapon of slaughter.

339
00:18:06,790 --> 00:18:08,070
Who would dare to receive such a gift?

340
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:09,330
Why do you care so much?

341
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:11,170
Just tell me if you can make it.

342
00:18:13,790 --> 00:18:14,350
I can't.

343
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,240
You're lying!

344
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,960
My younger brother
likes to hunt wild bears.

345
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,110
We heard that you can make
a four-shot repeating crossbow,

346
00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:22,310
so we came here for it.

347
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:25,510
Three thousand taels of silver.
The price is negotiable.

348
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:30,980
If you like hunting,

349
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,530
Young Master of Miraculous Craft
has other mechanisms.

350
00:18:37,310 --> 00:18:39,480
This Whistling Arrow
can drive away wolves at night.

351
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,560
And these Nine-Linked Rings

352
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,640
can be used either as a trap

353
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,400
or as a lock.

354
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,750
This Breezing Powder...

355
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,350
Enough.

356
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,440
I don't want any of these.

357
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,440
I just want the repeating crossbow.

358
00:18:55,550 --> 00:18:57,480
I can make it, but I won't.

359
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:58,920
Why?

360
00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:01,110
This three-feet,
four-arrow repeating crossbow

361
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:02,710
was custom-made for a buyer.

362
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,770
It was agreed
that it could only be sold to him.

363
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Being merchants, we must keep our word.

364
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,640
No matter how much you pay me,

365
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,270
Young Master

366
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,660
of Miraculous Craft
still won't take this deal.

367
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,270
You are
the real Young Master of Miraculous Craft.

368
00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:20,240
Tell me who that buyer is.

369
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:26,680
Will you let us go

370
00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:28,000
if I tell you?

371
00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:30,520
If you tell me, you'll suffer less.

372
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:32,520
Creating such a harmful thing, you

373
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,400
deserve to die.

374
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,200
Fine.

375
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:36,210
Don't you just want a name?

376
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:37,200
I'll tell you.

377
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:38,070
Say it!

378
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,920
He said his surname is

379
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,240
Xiao.

380
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,550
Xiao?

381
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:46,590
And his given name is Sheng.

382
00:19:46,590 --> 00:19:47,200
What?

383
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,200
Xiao Sheng?

384
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,510
Jump!

385
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,610
I don't dare.

386
00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:15,770
Stop there!

387
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,480
It's too late.

388
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,160
Toys!

389
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,810
Come and take a look!

390
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,110
Fortunately, I was prepared,

391
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,440
and asked you to switch carriages
to pick me up.

392
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:41,700
[Li Lejun, Princess Pingning]

393
00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:43,200
You knew it was a trap.

394
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,680
Why did you still take the risk?

395
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,410
I was just trying to make money.

396
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,880
The monthly allowance my mother gives me

397
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,440
is nowhere near enough
to make a jade crown for Mao.

398
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,570
It's just a pity to lose such a big deal.

399
00:20:52,830 --> 00:20:55,630
As expected,
there's no such thing as a free lunch.

400
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,790
I just don't know

401
00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:59,510
who Xiao Sheng is.

402
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,350
What kind of trouble did he stir up

403
00:21:01,350 --> 00:21:04,160
to bring people to me,
Young Master of Miraculous Craft?

404
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,310
I hope he didn't shoot anyone.

405
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:08,790
You don't know who he is,

406
00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:10,350
yet you dared to sell it?

407
00:21:10,350 --> 00:21:11,830
He had money, and I had the goods.

408
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:13,630
Why should I care about who he is?

409
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:15,560
By the way.

410
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,440
It's the letter my brother wrote to you.

411
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,500
When is Mao returning to the capital?

412
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:32,190
You say it.

413
00:21:37,070 --> 00:21:38,680
We underestimated the enemy.

414
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240
We didn't expect Young Master
of Miraculous Craft to be a woman.

415
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,100
She threw some weird gadgets at us

416
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,030
and got away.

417
00:21:45,050 --> 00:21:49,110
She also said the one who bought
the repeating crossbows i-is Xiao Sheng.

418
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,310
Xiao Sheng?

419
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,200
Me?

420
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:13,790
It must've been Prince Changsha

421
00:22:13,790 --> 00:22:16,450
intentionally using your name,
Your Highness.

422
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Rest assured, Your Highness.

423
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,920
No matter what it costs,

424
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,310
I will find this woman

425
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,590
and get solid proof
of her collusion with Prince Changsha.

426
00:22:26,590 --> 00:22:27,720
But I feel like

427
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:29,350
she doesn't seem to be in cahoots

428
00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:30,610
with Prince Changsha.

429
00:22:30,790 --> 00:22:32,150
Do you have any evidence?

430
00:22:32,150 --> 00:22:33,280
It's just a feeling.

431
00:22:36,030 --> 00:22:38,290
Your Highness, this is what she dropped.

432
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,410
This is an official tribute satin.

433
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,840
It's specifically made
by the imperial court.

434
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,270
Only the female relatives
of noble families can have it.

435
00:22:48,270 --> 00:22:49,720
Is there a record
in the Household Department's archives?

436
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,780
So what if there is?

437
00:22:51,030 --> 00:22:52,400
With so many noble female relatives,

438
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,460
are we supposed to ask them one by one?

439
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:56,400
How's the investigation
on Prince Changsha?

440
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,640
As our spies reported last night,

441
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,640
Prince Changsha will hold
a poetry gathering at the Lantai gathering.

442
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,030
He's invited lots of officials,

443
00:23:01,030 --> 00:23:02,960
claiming it's to review the world's poems.

444
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,750
But he just wants to use the chance
to win over the officials.

445
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:07,680
He really thought you died in battle,
Your Highness.

446
00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:08,890
Lantai gathering?

447
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,350
This is a great opportunity
for the young masters and ladies

448
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:13,070
of noble families to size each other up.

449
00:23:13,070 --> 00:23:15,960
Maybe Young Master of Miraculous Craft
will attend it, too.

450
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,480
We can just go join the fun.

451
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,000
By the way,
is there any news from Yongzhou?

452
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,590
Have you found
Armory Director Yang Yi's family?

453
00:23:26,590 --> 00:23:27,270
Not yet.

454
00:23:31,790 --> 00:23:33,240
I think he will definitely like

455
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,840
everything designed by you.

456
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:38,630
That's true.
I've spent a lot of time designing it.

457
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,830
Greetings, Your Highness.

458
00:23:40,830 --> 00:23:41,410
Mother.

459
00:23:41,590 --> 00:23:43,390
No need for formalities, Lejun.

460
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,720
Where have you been all day?

461
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,720
I went to Prince Qi's Mansion
to find Lejun, of course.

462
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,400
And I

463
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,500
spent the whole day
copying the "Book of Rites."

464
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:52,630
My hands are so sore.

465
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,350
Really?

466
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Today...

467
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,440
Jiayu was with me.

468
00:24:01,170 --> 00:24:03,900
Your injuries haven't healed.
Don't run around.

469
00:24:04,350 --> 00:24:06,310
Once you're healed,
go kneel in the ancestral hall.

470
00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:07,360
Mother, I...

471
00:24:07,390 --> 00:24:09,050
Don't think you can escape it.

472
00:24:12,110 --> 00:24:12,700
Mother,

473
00:24:13,070 --> 00:24:14,750
can you take me
to attend the Lantai gathering

474
00:24:14,750 --> 00:24:16,080
the day after tomorrow?

475
00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:17,990
When did I say I was going?

476
00:24:18,430 --> 00:24:19,690
Don't you want to enjoy

477
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,480
that beautiful scenery, Mother?

478
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,870
What are you plotting now?

479
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:24,720
Mother, you got me wrong.

480
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:27,480
I just want to apologize to Mr. Bai.

481
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,680
After all, I was the one
acting improperly that day.

482
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,030
Whether the matchmaking worked or not,

483
00:24:31,030 --> 00:24:32,590
we shouldn't lose our manners.

484
00:24:32,590 --> 00:24:34,310
You can go to the Lantai gathering,

485
00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:35,570
but no running around.

486
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:36,830
Apologize sincerely.

487
00:24:36,830 --> 00:24:37,810
Don't worry, Mother.

488
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:39,870
I promise I'll stick to you like glue.

489
00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:43,490
[Lantai gathering]

490
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,180
Let's go take a look ahead.

491
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,880
Mr. Bai, I offended you last time.

492
00:24:48,970 --> 00:24:51,290
Today, I'd like to apologize to you.

493
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,400
Don't worry about it, Jiayu.

494
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:57,390
I also misunderstood last time.

495
00:24:58,790 --> 00:24:59,790
This is my cousin.

496
00:25:01,030 --> 00:25:01,960
Nice to meet you.

497
00:25:02,550 --> 00:25:04,010
Nice to meet you, Miss Xie.

498
00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:05,640
Talk nicely with Mr. Bai.

499
00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:07,160
Remember not to run around.

500
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,200
Do not go to the poetry gathering
at the Mid-Lake Pavilion, whatever you do.

501
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,270
Please rest assured, Mother.

502
00:25:11,270 --> 00:25:12,350
I'm not interested in

503
00:25:12,350 --> 00:25:13,270
those poetry gatherings.

504
00:25:13,270 --> 00:25:15,330
I wouldn't go even if they invited me.

505
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,930
Come and take a look.

506
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,880
Absolutely top-quality items.

507
00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:25,030
Your fan is so beautiful.

508
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,830
May I take a closer look?

509
00:25:27,470 --> 00:25:29,560
My cousin bought me this bamboo fan.

510
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,260
It even has his inscription on it.

511
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,940
It's the only one in the world.

512
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,440
Mr. Bai's handwriting is really amazing.

513
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,720
If you want one, Jiayu,

514
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,070
I'll write an inscription for you.

515
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:40,870
That's great!

516
00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:43,920
But I don't want an inscription on a fan.

517
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:46,630
I want it on that celadon piece.

518
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:50,970
Here you are.

519
00:25:57,290 --> 00:25:59,310
"The peach blossoms are in full bloom,

520
00:25:59,310 --> 00:26:00,170
brilliant..."

521
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,640
Mr. Bai, you are truly amazing.

522
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,370
Miss, I'll take this celadon.

523
00:26:05,370 --> 00:26:05,960
How much is it?

524
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,920
100 taels of silver.

525
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,070
100 taels of silver? Are you kidding me?

526
00:26:09,070 --> 00:26:10,850
This is made from the clay of Mount Xi,

527
00:26:10,850 --> 00:26:13,240
not to mention
this gentleman's inscription.

528
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,550
It's unique in the world.

529
00:26:14,550 --> 00:26:15,750
No matter how great the inscription is,

530
00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:17,070
it's not worth this price.

531
00:26:17,070 --> 00:26:18,830
Even Prince Qi's poems aren't worth 100.

532
00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:20,160
I don't want it anymore.

533
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,330
What do you mean?

534
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:23,790
My cousin's poems are inferior
to Prince Qi's?

535
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:24,310
Cousin.

536
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,030
I mean, this seller is greedy.

537
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,680
If I want it,

538
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,510
I'll just ask Mr. Bai

539
00:26:30,510 --> 00:26:32,000
to write another one for me later.

540
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,200
Why waste money on it?

541
00:26:33,270 --> 00:26:33,880
Stingy.

542
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:35,790
Miss, I'll buy this celadon.

543
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:36,750
Okay.

544
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:38,510
Hold on.

545
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,790
You are right.

546
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,690
I'm here to apologize today.

547
00:26:42,690 --> 00:26:45,450
I'll just force myself
to buy this celadon.

548
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,240
I already said I'd buy it.

549
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,310
I'll add another 50 taels of silver.

550
00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:49,000
Two hundred taels.

551
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,860
Two hundred...

552
00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:51,780
and one taels.

553
00:26:54,460 --> 00:26:55,320
Cousin, you...

554
00:26:56,790 --> 00:26:59,310
This celadon is mine now.

555
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,550
There are really so many rich people.

556
00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:05,350
[The peach blossoms are
in full bloom, brilliant]

557
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,160
Mr. Bai,

558
00:27:06,370 --> 00:27:07,720
I'm afraid I'm meant to miss out

559
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,180
on your fine handwriting.

560
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,060
I want this pot.

561
00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:14,640
Okay.

562
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Nine-Turn Mind-Changing Pot!

563
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,030
Jiayu, where are you going?

564
00:27:20,030 --> 00:27:22,560
Cousin,
just leave that stingy person alone.

565
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,500
Why is the Nine-Turn Mind-Changing Pot
out for sale?

566
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:26,310
Didn't you specifically

567
00:27:26,310 --> 00:27:28,350
pick all these goods yesterday, My Lady?

568
00:27:28,350 --> 00:27:29,030
Oh, no.

569
00:27:29,270 --> 00:27:30,670
I must have misplaced it.

570
00:27:31,070 --> 00:27:32,790
Did you tell her
how to poison with this pot?

571
00:27:32,790 --> 00:27:34,450
I explained how to use it once.

572
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,500
Turn left for poison and right for wine.

573
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:38,200
She still bought it,
knowing how to use the poison?

574
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,920
This person must be up to no good.

575
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,250
I'll follow her and see.

576
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,580
My Lady! Please don't run around!

577
00:27:46,410 --> 00:27:48,000
Move out of the way! Move!

578
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:50,830
Move!

579
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:52,110
Go away!

580
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,410
Make way!

581
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,320
Prince Changsha is here!

582
00:27:56,130 --> 00:27:56,830
Move!

583
00:27:58,650 --> 00:27:59,720
Prince Changsha?

584
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,480
He's here for the poetry gathering, too?

585
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,680
Can he compose poems?

586
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,400
Chan.

587
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,570
I've made up my mind.

588
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,270
I'll put an end

589
00:28:19,030 --> 00:28:20,230
to everything today.

590
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,410
After the dance,

591
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,680
I'll curry favor with Prince Changsha.

592
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,140
Then I'll drink
this poisoned wine with him.

593
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,230
Sister,

594
00:28:31,310 --> 00:28:33,270
I'll take full responsibility for this.

595
00:28:33,270 --> 00:28:35,000
It has nothing to do with anyone else.

596
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,400
No,

597
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,490
we either live together

598
00:28:37,550 --> 00:28:38,480
or die together.

599
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,130
How moving your sisterhood is.

600
00:28:46,830 --> 00:28:48,690
You want to kill Prince Changsha?

601
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:49,830
Who are you?

602
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,550
You can't.

603
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,920
You want to expose us?

604
00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:56,640
I mean,

605
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,610
this pot won't work.

606
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Although it was made of purple clay,

607
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,010
the kiln temperature wasn't high enough,

608
00:29:04,010 --> 00:29:05,070
causing the body to crack

609
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:06,200
and have a poor seal.

610
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,380
Now the pot's both sides
contain poisoned wine.

611
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,960
If you drink it,

612
00:29:11,270 --> 00:29:12,240
you'll die, too.

613
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,310
How do you know?

614
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,550
Because I made this pot.

615
00:29:20,590 --> 00:29:21,750
Then we'll die together.

616
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:23,280
Do you have to do it this way?

617
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Is it worth it?

618
00:29:26,550 --> 00:29:28,440
Prince Changsha is a brutal tyrant.

619
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,960
Every day, there are sisters
who are tortured to death by him.

620
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,110
If I can exchange my life

621
00:29:33,550 --> 00:29:35,410
for a way out for my sisters today,

622
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,200
it's worth it.

623
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:39,830
If you dare to expose it,

624
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,330
I'll kill you first.

625

to you, Your Highness.

holds no court position,

666
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,070
She can help you
change your identities and leave the city.

667
00:31:00,070 --> 00:31:00,480
Let's go.

668
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,960
But if Prince Changsha finds out
about what you're doing,

669
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,020
he won't let you go.

670
00:31:04,750 --> 00:31:06,950
Don't worry, he can't do anything to me.

671
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,650
Hurry, let's go.

672
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,210
Keep up. All of you, keep up.

673
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,440
Wait, what are you doing? Who are you?

674
00:31:16,550 --> 00:31:17,110
Freeze!

675
00:31:19,790 --> 00:31:20,720
It's you.

676
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,550
Let go of me!

677
00:31:22,570 --> 00:31:24,370
What are you two up to?

678
00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:26,440
Young Master of Miraculous Craft,

679
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,440
I suppose you've been doing well.

680
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,070
Who are you?

681
00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:29,730
Don't move!

682
00:31:30,350 --> 00:31:30,920
Tell me

683
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,320
which family's lady you are.

684
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:34,550
Why should I tell you?

685
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:36,480
Fine.

686
00:31:37,310 --> 00:31:38,840
After I finish my business,

687
00:31:39,030 --> 00:31:41,630
I'll come back and take my time
to deal with you.

688
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:46,250
You want to kill Prince Changsha,

689
00:31:46,350 --> 00:31:47,000
right?

690
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:52,480
What a coincidence.

691
00:31:53,030 --> 00:31:55,490
I have also been annoyed with him
for a long time.

692
00:31:55,490 --> 00:31:57,480
Take them away. Leave no one behind.

693
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,340
How do we leave?

694
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,600
The Heir of Prince Jing'an has arrived!

695
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,410
The Heir of Prince Jing'an?

696
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Isn't he dead?

697
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Nice...

698
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,200
Isn't he dead?

699
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:26,590
Aren't you dead?

700
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:28,630
Were you exhilarated seeing

701
00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:30,430
my coffin enter the city?

702
00:32:31,790 --> 00:32:33,520
Did you really think I was dead?

703
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,240
As wise and mighty as you are,
Your Highness,

704
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,240
you wouldn't die.

705
00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:42,040
So, which jerk spread the rumor

706
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,440
that I died in battle in Jiuzhang Plain?

707
00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:45,030
You?

708
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:45,550
No?

709
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,440
You?

710
00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:48,350
Or you?

711
00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:52,350
Your Highness, I just ran into

712
00:32:52,350 --> 00:32:54,080
some of your dancers on the way,

713
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,030
who were scheming to poison you,

714
00:32:56,550 --> 00:32:58,150
so I brought them over to you.

715
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,200
Thank you, Your Highness.

716
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Guards!

717
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,310
But I like her temper.

718
00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:06,910
I wonder if you can give her to me.

719
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,240
If you like her,

720
00:33:08,830 --> 00:33:09,890
just take her away.

721
00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:13,080
Since you're so generous, Your Highness,

722
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,130
why not also let me attend
today's Lantai gathering?

723
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,750
Why did it suddenly

724
00:33:21,310 --> 00:33:23,110
become so quiet upon my arrival?

725
00:33:23,660 --> 00:33:25,590
Isn't it a poetry gathering today?

726
00:33:26,350 --> 00:33:27,200
Dance!

727
00:33:28,410 --> 00:33:29,470
And compose poems.

728
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,580
Adjutant Chen,

729
00:33:39,270 --> 00:33:41,640
you are famous for your poems
in the capital.

730
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,100
Write one for me right now.

731
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,920
Your Highness,
what kind of poem do you want?

732
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,550
Compose a poem
praising the battle in Jiuzhang Plain,

733
00:33:48,550 --> 00:33:50,350
where the Beifu Army
reversed a losing battle

734
00:33:50,350 --> 00:33:52,350
and killed the enemies heroically.

735
00:33:53,510 --> 00:33:54,970
I'm sorry, Your Highness.

736
00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:56,270
I don't know how to write poems.

737
00:33:56,270 --> 00:33:57,400
I can't do it for you.

738
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:01,890
-He killed the man!
-He killed him!

739
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,480
Are you crazy, Young Lord Xiao?

740
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,510
How dare you kill an imperial official?

741
00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:05,970
No one is allowed to leave.

742
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,510
If you leave, how will you pay
for the deaths of the 30,000 soldiers

743
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:12,440
of my Beifu Army?

744
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,480
Prince Changsha,

745
00:34:15,150 --> 00:34:17,010
he didn't know how to write poems.

746
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,250
Do you know how to write?

747
00:34:22,830 --> 00:34:24,760
I don't believe you dare to kill me.

748
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,620
He actually...

749
00:34:41,070 --> 00:34:42,670
He actually killed someone.

750
00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:47,550
People die in every battle.

751
00:34:52,670 --> 00:34:53,320
Fine.

752
00:34:54,030 --> 00:34:55,560
After I finish my business,

753
00:34:55,630 --> 00:34:58,230
I'll come back and take my time
to deal with you.

754
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,360
Will he kill me later, too?

755
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,440
No, I have to run away quickly.

756
00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:21,280
Do none of you really know
how to write poems?

757
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,110
I do!

758
00:35:23,550 --> 00:35:26,590
-Me, too!
-I can also write!

759
00:35:28,070 --> 00:35:29,730
Continue the music and dance!

760
00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:35,320
Guys,

761
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:37,990
if this dance ends,

762
00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:40,170
while the poem is not done,

763
00:35:41,290 --> 00:35:42,590
I will continue.

764
00:35:42,590 --> 00:35:43,710
I've finished writing.

765
00:35:43,710 --> 00:35:45,360
I've finished writing, too!

766
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,320
Me, too.

767
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520
-Me, too.
-I've also finished writing.

768
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,360
Read it.

769
00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:54,800
Dedicated to Young Lord Xiao.

770
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:55,840
Not to me.

771
00:35:56,190 --> 00:35:57,800
Read it to Prince Changsha.

772
00:35:58,590 --> 00:35:59,230
Cold frost flies...

773
00:35:59,230 --> 00:36:00,190
Read it loudly!

774
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,340
Cold frost flies over 1,000 feet.

775
00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:04,770
Wuyi subdued tigers with his valour.

776
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,900
The army was drenched in enemy blood,

777
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,660
defending the country like a bright sun.

778
00:36:10,670 --> 00:36:12,400
What a flattering poem.

779
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,110
I'll let it pass, just barely.

780
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,420
Thank you, Your Highness.

781
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,800
Write it down and compose a tune.

782
00:36:22,050 --> 00:36:23,710
Send it to Prince Changsha
as a gift later.

783
00:36:23,710 --> 00:36:25,170
Thank you, Your Highness.

784
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:26,360
Next one.

785
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,440
With armored horses and spears,
banners fluttered in the wind.

786
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,920
Brave warriors shed blood
on the battlefield.

787
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,440
The long wind brought rain
like the tears of thousands of soldiers.

788
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,970
Loyal souls from Jiuzhang Plain
bowed towards their hometown.

789
00:36:56,230 --> 00:36:58,310
Jiankang is so sunny and warm.

790
00:37:01,030 --> 00:37:02,320
Even now, the blood

791
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,030
is still warm.

792
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:10,650
Your Highness, do you know

793
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,020
how cold the blood was in Jiuzhang Plain?

794
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,180
Do you know
that the 18 coffins that entered the city

795
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,650
actually contained 18 generals
of my Beifu Army who died unjustly?

796
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:41,280
Actually, I don't care

797
00:37:42,110 --> 00:37:44,170
how you fight here in Jiankang at all.

798
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:46,910
I also don't care who sits on the throne,

799
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,120
whether it's you or His Majesty.

800
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,150
But you made me change my mind.

801
00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:57,320
From today on,

802
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,200
you won't get anything you want,
Prince Changsha.

803
00:38:01,870 --> 00:38:04,420
I'll snatch the person you want to marry.

804
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:05,980
And I will also take

805
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,330
whatever you already have.

806
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,010
I was wrong. I was out of my mind.

807
00:38:17,010 --> 00:38:18,270
Your Highness, you...

808
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,970
Your Highness, you are a generous man.

809
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:35,960
I

810
00:38:36,730 --> 00:38:39,010
will chant sutras
and pray for the fallen soldiers

811
00:38:39,010 --> 00:38:40,450
every day.

812
00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:46,230
You still haven't found her?

813
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,960
Who on earth did she go to see?

814
00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:49,630
Mother!

815
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,840
-Mother.
-Where on earth did you go?

816
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:54,550
I've just been to the restroom.

817
00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:56,680
Get in the carriage now. Let's go home.

818
00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:05,050
Your Highness, it's anesthetic.

819
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,920
Go investigate the background

820
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,280
of all the stalls
at today's Lantai gathering.

821
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,680
Any stalls with this mark

822
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,380
belong
to Young Master of Miraculous Craft.

823
00:39:22,420 --> 00:39:25,150
I'd like to know
which family on earth she's from.

824
00:39:25,490 --> 00:39:27,510
[Prince Jing'an's Mansion]

825
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,400
Mother,

826
00:39:28,450 --> 00:39:30,670
[Xiao Ziqi] [He Yuanji,
Crown Princess in Prince Jing'an's family]

827
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,440
I am sleepy.

828
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:33,380
[Xiao Yao, Prince Jing'an's eldest son;
courtesy name: Anming]

829
00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:33,290
He didn't even say anything

830
00:39:33,290 --> 00:39:35,250
and just sent a dozen coffins home.

831
00:39:35,140 --> 00:39:36,740
[Yao Yunzhi, Prince Jing'an's consort]

832
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,190
Anmin.

833
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,600
Your Highness, Young Lord Xiao is back.

834
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,020
Where is he?

835
00:39:42,070 --> 00:39:43,150
His Highness took the dancers

836
00:39:43,150 --> 00:39:45,150
and Madam Rui back to Fuying Courtyard.

837
00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:46,960
He said he'd rest early
for the court tomorrow morning,

838
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,620
and he'd greet you, Your Highness,
another day.

839
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:53,080
Is this called resting early?

840
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,680
He is clearly having a party!

841
00:40:39,230 --> 00:40:40,440
That hurts like crazy.

842
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,440
Keep messing around,
and you'll never recover.

843
00:40:40,610 --> 00:40:42,730
[Ruisheng, maid
who serves the Heir of Prince Jing'an]

844
00:40:45,070 --> 00:40:46,270
But I have you, right?

845
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,590
Even the best physician

846
00:40:48,590 --> 00:40:50,850
can't save a patient who seeks his death.

847
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,710
You barely survived this time.

848
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,550
You must rest for half a year.

849
00:40:54,550 --> 00:40:56,150
Don't get worked up or fight.

850
00:40:56,230 --> 00:40:57,630
Once the injury relapses,

851
00:40:57,630 --> 00:40:59,030
even gods can't save you.

852
00:41:00,230 --> 00:41:01,560
What I need to do can't be

853
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,060
put off for half a year.

854
00:41:05,510 --> 00:41:06,840
What are you going to do?

855
00:41:14,590 --> 00:41:16,710
Young Lord Xiao, you've worked hard
defending the territory these years

856
00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:18,110
and earned numerous military merits.

857
00:41:18,110 --> 00:41:20,370
You deserve a nice reward and promotion.

858
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:21,150
You...

859
00:41:21,150 --> 00:41:22,670
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.

860
00:41:22,670 --> 00:41:24,970
I wouldn't dare decline the rewards
for my soldiers.

861
00:41:24,970 --> 00:41:27,400
But for myself,
I seek neither promotion nor titles.

862
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,800
I only ask for one person.

863
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,590
Please grant me this marriage,
Your Majesty.

864
00:41:30,590 --> 00:41:31,920
I wish to marry

865
00:41:32,350 --> 00:41:34,190
Grand Tutor Xie's daughter
as my principal consort.
