Honey.

18
00:01:53,771 --> 00:01:54,981
Do you still remember

19
00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:56,431
that ruffian who impersonated you?

20
00:01:57,721 --> 00:01:58,561
I remember.

Nanny Li said

22
00:02:00,081 --> 00:02:01,241
our marriage certificate

23
00:02:01,241 --> 00:02:02,721
was lost during the move.

24
00:02:03,161 --> 00:02:04,321
I saw the certificate

25
00:02:04,321 --> 00:02:05,241
the ruffian had,

26
00:02:05,761 --> 00:02:07,521
but I didn't find anything unusual.

27
00:02:08,281 --> 00:02:09,241
Thinking it over,

28
00:02:10,361 --> 00:02:11,801
it's probably ours.

29
00:02:13,041 --> 00:02:13,881
It doesn't matter.

30
00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:15,881
How can it not matter?

31
00:02:16,281 --> 00:02:18,401
That's not just a marriage agreement.

32
00:02:18,841 --> 00:02:19,721
It also has

33
00:02:19,721 --> 00:02:21,241
both our names on it.

34
00:02:22,041 --> 00:02:24,041
If it's a man with the same name,

35
00:02:24,201 --> 00:02:25,641
as long as it's not you, Cui Jiu,

36
00:02:25,761 --> 00:02:27,241
it holds no meaning.

37
00:02:28,761 --> 00:02:30,241
I truly hate that scoundrel

38
00:02:30,641 --> 00:02:32,081
for daring to steal your name

39
00:02:32,241 --> 00:02:33,681
and taint our names.

40
00:02:35,201 --> 00:02:37,041
I mean I've asked the authorities.

41
00:02:37,761 --> 00:02:39,241
That marriage certificate isn't ours.

42
00:02:42,161 --> 00:02:43,121
Is that so?

43
00:02:44,521 --> 00:02:46,201
That's a relief.

44
00:02:46,961 --> 00:02:48,921
Don't get upset over this.

45
00:02:49,561 --> 00:02:50,921
You're not healthy enough.

00:02:58,641 --> 00:02:59,481
Okay?

50
00:03:02,841 --> 00:03:04,001
I will.

51
00:03:04,681 --> 00:03:05,961
I'll run the business well,

you're drunk.

80
00:05:09,361 --> 00:05:11,401
Why do you still call me uncle?

81
00:05:11,801 --> 00:05:14,081
You should call me father instead.

82
00:05:14,081 --> 00:05:15,041
You fool!

00:05:15,041 --> 00:05:16,241

92
00:05:32,641 --> 00:05:34,041
I can't wait

93
00:05:34,041 --> 00:05:35,271
to hear Binglan

94
00:05:35,281 --> 00:05:36,801
call me mother.

95
00:05:37,241 --> 00:05:39,521
Xingzhou has waited three years

96
00:05:39,521 --> 00:05:41,401
to hear her call him honey.

98
00:05:43,851 --> 00:05:44,691
Honey.

100
00:05:55,161 --> 00:05:56,241
has been eagerly

101
00:05:56,441 --> 00:05:57,801
waiting to see Binglan.

102
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:02,121
He can't see her for days.

105
00:06:05,601 --> 00:06:07,121
they'll finally meet.

107
00:06:10,321 --> 00:06:11,841

108
00:06:11,841 --> 00:06:12,961

112
00:06:21,681 --> 00:06:23,321
You've always had your own ideas.

How do you plan

114
00:06:25,721 --> 00:06:27,201
to organize your wedding?

A wedding for Lord Huaiyang

116

Madam, why are you suddenly buying fabric?

136
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:21,801
To make clothes?

137
00:07:22,341 --> 00:07:23,241
Not for clothes.

138
00:07:28,021 --> 00:07:28,921

I'd like to choose a red fabric
with gold embroidery

144
00:07:38,881 --> 00:07:40,201
that's resistant to decay.

145
00:07:40,201 --> 00:07:41,961
Red with gold. Resistant to decay.

150
00:08:13,121 --> 00:08:13,961
It's done, My Lord.

My Lord,

167
00:09:41,561 --> 00:09:42,881
are you preparing for the wedding

168
00:09:42,881 --> 00:09:44,161
or settling...

169

Or settling Ms. Liu?

Rest assured, My Lord.

171
00:09:54,281 --> 00:09:56,081
I'll take care of these things.

172

Nanny Li and Fan Hu will look after her.

174
00:10:02,601 --> 00:10:03,441
Prepare the carriage.

180

So why are you

181

like a solitary figure?

182
00:10:23,201 --> 00:10:24,641
I envy you, though.

183
00:10:25,281 --> 00:10:26,401
At least Cousin Lian

No.

186
00:10:29,921 --> 00:10:31,841
She's committed to the position
as the Princess.

187
00:10:32,561 --> 00:10:33,721
That's still faithful.

188
00:10:34,641 --> 00:10:36,761
At least she didn't run away
before the wedding,

189
00:10:37,241 --> 00:10:39,121
leaving you in disgrace.

190
00:10:41,881 --> 00:10:43,921

191
00:10:44,321 --> 00:10:47,041
we'd truly be brothers in misfortune.

192
00:10:49,881 --> 00:10:50,721
Come here.

193
00:10:55,241 --> 00:10:56,401
Compared to you,

194
00:10:57,601 --> 00:10:59,001
I'm very content.

195
00:11:01,521 --> 00:11:02,481
If you're content,

196
00:11:02,481 --> 00:11:03,881
why did you ask me to drink?

197
00:11:07,121 --> 00:11:08,041
I'm thirsty.

198
00:11:11,681 --> 00:11:13,121
Be honest with me.

199
00:11:13,561 --> 00:11:15,161
Do you feel guilty

200
00:11:15,161 --> 00:11:16,481
abandoning Liu Miantang?

201
00:11:17,841 --> 00:11:19,201
It was all just a show

202
00:11:19,201 --> 00:11:20,561
from the start.

203
00:11:21,001 --> 00:11:22,921
Now that everything is back on track.

204
00:11:22,921 --> 00:11:24,001
Why would I feel guilty?

205
00:11:24,001 --> 00:11:25,561
If I continued deceiving her...

206
00:11:25,561 --> 00:11:27,321
You're still guilty after all.

207
00:11:28,481 --> 00:11:29,321
True.

208
00:11:30,081 --> 00:11:32,161
Sending Liu Miantang back to her family,

209
00:11:32,521 --> 00:11:33,601
without holding her past,

210
00:11:33,601 --> 00:11:34,681
and freeing her,

211
00:11:34,881 --> 00:11:36,081
is indeed a great kindness

212
00:11:36,081 --> 00:11:37,441
from you.

213
00:11:38,761 --> 00:11:41,201
Anyway, Liu Miantang is happy.

214
00:11:41,561 --> 00:11:42,681
When she reaches Beizhou

215
00:11:42,961 --> 00:11:44,961
and receives that letter,

216
00:11:45,361 --> 00:11:47,401
learning the harsh truth,

217
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:49,601
no matter how stormy her emotions,

218
00:11:49,601 --> 00:11:51,081
she won't be able to confront you.

219
00:11:51,841 --> 00:11:52,681
This move

220
00:11:53,281 --> 00:11:54,561
is truly brilliant.

221
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:56,881
I admit it.

222
00:11:57,761 --> 00:12:00,521
I don't dare face her for a farewell,

223
00:12:00,521 --> 00:12:02,161
nor do I dare

224
00:12:02,161 --> 00:12:03,881
to explain everything in person.

225
00:12:06,521 --> 00:12:08,801
Then why did you let her go?

226
00:12:10,281 --> 00:12:12,041
Even if you kept her around,

227
00:12:12,041 --> 00:12:13,441
with Cousin Lian's temperament,

228
00:12:13,681 --> 00:12:15,321
there wouldn't be any trouble.

229
00:12:23,201 --> 00:12:24,561
Without any choice,

230
00:12:24,961 --> 00:12:26,761
the crabapple blossoms have fallen.

231
00:12:27,961 --> 00:12:29,601
The swallows return,

232
00:12:30,921 --> 00:12:33,481
familiar yet new.

233
00:12:50,641 --> 00:12:51,481
Madam,

234
00:12:52,281 --> 00:12:53,241
the wind is strong.

235
00:12:53,441 --> 00:12:54,281
With the medicine on,

236
00:12:54,481 --> 00:12:55,681
go rest quickly.

237
00:12:57,241 --> 00:12:58,081
Nanny Li.

238
00:12:58,761 --> 00:13:01,001
Did you prepare the robes

239
00:13:01,001 --> 00:13:02,521
and the charcoal stove as I asked?

240
00:13:05,721 --> 00:13:07,121
Yes, everything is ready.

241
00:13:08,001 --> 00:13:10,001
Tomorrow, Moru will deliver them

242
00:13:10,481 --> 00:13:11,441
to the master.

243
00:13:14,441 --> 00:13:16,641
This is the first time
he's been away for so long.

244
00:13:17,321 --> 00:13:18,201
I wonder

245
00:13:18,561 --> 00:13:20,801
if he's adjusting well to life on the mountain.

246
00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:23,241
I heard

247
00:13:23,241 --> 00:13:25,201
that Go masters tend to be quite eccentric.

248
00:13:25,601 --> 00:13:27,521
I hope he isn't having a hard time.

249
00:13:31,161 --> 00:13:34,601
Moru will take care of the master.

250
00:13:36,161 --> 00:13:37,601
Follow the master's wishes

251
00:13:38,041 --> 00:13:40,841
and go visit your family in Beizhou at ease.

252
00:13:41,001 --> 00:13:43,081
Spend some quality time at your grandpa's home.

253
00:13:43,681 --> 00:13:45,001
When that time comes...

254
00:13:46,721 --> 00:13:47,681
What?

255
00:13:48,521 --> 00:13:50,041
By then,

256
00:13:50,041 --> 00:13:51,201
the master

257
00:13:52,601 --> 00:13:54,041
should have returned home.

258
00:13:58,801 --> 00:13:59,641
Lately,

259
00:13:59,841 --> 00:14:01,681
my right eyelid keeps twitching.

260
00:14:02,081 --> 00:14:03,641
I can't shake this uneasy feeling.

261
00:14:04,121 --> 00:14:05,001
Well.

262
00:14:05,161 --> 00:14:07,201
You must be exhausted from working

263
00:14:07,401 --> 00:14:09,881
in the shop these past few days.

264
00:14:10,321 --> 00:14:12,121
You should rest earlier.

265
00:14:16,801 --> 00:14:17,641
Madam,

266
00:14:18,041 --> 00:14:20,521
the carriage and luggage for Beizhou

267
00:14:20,841 --> 00:14:22,321
are all prepared.

268
00:14:22,521 --> 00:14:23,441
We can

269
00:14:23,441 --> 00:14:25,081
set off anytime.

270
00:14:26,281 --> 00:14:27,721
I don't want to go to Beizhou now.

271
00:14:28,921 --> 00:14:29,801
Why not?

272
00:14:30,561 --> 00:14:31,441
There's still

273
00:14:32,281 --> 00:14:34,241
something unfinished here.

274
00:15:01,041 --> 00:15:02,761
I'm Shi Yikuan, Chief Commander of Qingzhou.

275
00:15:02,961 --> 00:15:03,801
Greetings, My Lord.

276
00:15:03,801 --> 00:15:04,641
General Shi.

277
00:15:05,361 --> 00:15:06,201
Please come in.

278
00:15:10,801 --> 00:15:12,841
(Soldier Documents)
My Lord.

279
00:15:14,201 --> 00:15:16,361
Thirteen thousand men have been enlisted.

280
00:15:16,961 --> 00:15:18,201
Those unwilling for service,

281
00:15:18,521 --> 00:15:20,081
of old age or frailty

282
00:15:20,081 --> 00:15:21,761
have been sent back home.

283
00:15:22,681 --> 00:15:23,521
From now on,

284
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:24,761
our country

285
00:15:24,761 --> 00:15:26,921
is free from the worries of Mount Yang.

286
00:15:27,121 --> 00:15:27,961
General,

287
00:15:28,801 --> 00:15:30,041
your meticulous work

288
00:15:30,041 --> 00:15:31,041
has been invaluable.

289
00:15:32,481 --> 00:15:34,961
I will surely speak for you

290
00:15:35,081 --> 00:15:36,681
to the Empress Dowager.

291
00:15:37,001 --> 00:15:39,081
A promotion is in your future.

292
00:15:44,001 --> 00:15:46,321
Ziyu is already my future son-in-law.

293
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:48,561
The Mount Yang issue

294
00:15:48,561 --> 00:15:51,201
is practically a family matter now.

295
00:15:51,761 --> 00:15:52,601
Besides,

296
00:15:53,681 --> 00:15:54,801
as a military man,

297
00:15:55,081 --> 00:15:56,921
if it weren't for your guidance,

298
00:15:57,281 --> 00:15:58,641
I wouldn't have thought

299
00:15:58,641 --> 00:16:00,281
of such a perfect plan

300
00:16:00,281 --> 00:16:02,601
to pacify Mount Yang and gain a son-in-law.

301
00:16:07,361 --> 00:16:09,521
However, Ziyu

302
00:16:10,321 --> 00:16:11,561
once was...

303
00:16:14,481 --> 00:16:15,361
General,

304
00:16:16,841 --> 00:16:18,321
I hold Ziyu

305
00:16:18,481 --> 00:16:19,841
in high regard.

306
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:22,121
He comes from the underworld,

307
00:16:23,161 --> 00:16:24,321
but as they say,

308
00:16:25,201 --> 00:16:27,561
heroes are not defined by their origins.

309
00:16:30,001 --> 00:16:30,961
Yes.

310
00:16:31,841 --> 00:16:32,681
My Lord.

311
00:16:34,081 --> 00:16:35,681
Does your admiration

312
00:16:35,881 --> 00:16:37,321
stem from official duty

313
00:16:37,681 --> 00:16:39,641
or personal affection?

314
00:16:46,001 --> 00:16:46,961
The court desires

315
00:16:47,481 --> 00:16:49,441
to reduce the power of regional governors,

316
00:16:50,441 --> 00:16:51,321
starting with those

317
00:16:51,841 --> 00:16:53,641
not of royal blood.

318
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:57,721
If someone from Zhenzhou
insists on being rebellious,

319
00:16:58,561 --> 00:17:00,041
then our loyalty

320
00:17:00,041 --> 00:17:01,801
will make us virtuous officials.

321
00:17:03,201 --> 00:17:04,281
When the time comes,

322
00:17:04,281 --> 00:17:05,921
General, you'll be a favored minister,

323
00:17:06,441 --> 00:17:07,441
and I

324
00:17:07,561 --> 00:17:09,121
will also be blessed.

325
00:17:09,521 --> 00:17:11,401
For both public and personal reasons,

326
00:17:11,401 --> 00:17:12,321
our goals align,

327
00:17:13,721 --> 00:17:15,161
General.

328
00:17:17,521 --> 00:17:19,081
Our goals align.

329
00:17:21,681 --> 00:17:23,161
Miss, are you still managing?

330
00:17:23,321 --> 00:17:25,161
Why not let me carry more of it?

331
00:17:25,401 --> 00:17:26,721
- Careful yourself.
- Don't run!

332
00:17:26,721 --> 00:17:27,561
If it drops...

333
00:17:27,841 --> 00:17:29,281
- Slow down!
- Sorry!

334
00:17:29,281 --> 00:17:30,161
Sorry! Sorry!

335
00:17:30,161 --> 00:17:31,201
What should we do?

336
00:17:31,201 --> 00:17:32,561
Stop running!

337
00:17:36,081 --> 00:17:37,761
Mr. Ziyu.

338
00:17:38,601 --> 00:17:40,681
I thought I saw you earlier

339
00:17:41,161 --> 00:17:42,601
but wasn't sure.

340
00:17:44,841 --> 00:17:45,921
What a coincidence.

341
00:17:48,441 --> 00:17:49,761
You really like that crimson.

342
00:17:51,641 --> 00:17:52,481
You just bought it,

343
00:17:52,801 --> 00:17:53,761
and you're holding it.

344
00:17:54,601 --> 00:17:56,121
It's for my sister.

345
00:17:57,601 --> 00:17:58,561
What about yours?

346
00:18:02,041 --> 00:18:03,801
I have enough clothes.

347
00:18:03,801 --> 00:18:04,801
No need for more.

348
00:18:04,801 --> 00:18:06,161
I'll wait for my sister.

349
00:18:12,961 --> 00:18:14,241
- Help her with it.
- Yes.

350
00:18:16,121 --> 00:18:17,441
I wouldn't dare trouble you.

351
00:18:17,441 --> 00:18:19,001
Our family's carriage is just ahead.

352
00:18:19,001 --> 00:18:19,841
No trouble at all.

353
00:18:20,801 --> 00:18:21,641
I'll escort you.

354
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:34,161
The market here is quite lively.

355
00:18:34,801 --> 00:18:36,201
Is there anything you like?

356
00:18:36,601 --> 00:18:37,441
Feel free to choose.

357
00:18:39,881 --> 00:18:40,761
A proper lady

358
00:18:40,761 --> 00:18:42,201
should stay within her bounds.

359
00:18:42,361 --> 00:18:44,201
I only came out to buy things.

360
00:18:44,201 --> 00:18:45,721
It's best not to linger.

361
00:18:51,881 --> 00:18:53,081
There are many candy vendors

362
00:18:53,281 --> 00:18:54,801
along the way.

363
00:18:55,481 --> 00:18:57,961
They must be popular among young ladies.

364
00:18:59,801 --> 00:19:01,161
Would you like to try some?

365
00:19:02,801 --> 00:19:03,841
Thank you.

366
00:19:04,201 --> 00:19:06,361
But my mother always taught me

367
00:19:06,361 --> 00:19:08,721
that street food is improper.

368
00:19:10,761 --> 00:19:12,881
You should adhere to those teachings.

369
00:19:13,641 --> 00:19:14,841
Forgive my presumptuousness.

370
00:19:32,641 --> 00:19:33,641
Take it. Careful.

371
00:19:33,641 --> 00:19:34,481
- Come back.
- Go.

372
00:19:34,681 --> 00:19:35,881
Let's go home and eat.

373
00:19:35,881 --> 00:19:37,081
Take a look.

374
00:19:42,301 --> 00:19:43,141
Come on.

375
00:19:44,921 --> 00:19:45,761
Want some?

376
00:19:45,761 --> 00:19:46,641
Yes.

377
00:19:47,681 --> 00:19:48,521
This is heavy.

378
00:19:48,681 --> 00:19:50,121
Take it over there.

379
00:19:50,641 --> 00:19:52,081
Thank you for your help today.

380
00:19:54,121 --> 00:19:54,961
Slow down.

381
00:19:55,321 --> 00:19:56,161
Zhuwen.

382
00:19:56,241 --> 00:19:57,161
What's this?

383
00:19:58,401 --> 00:20:00,361
Mr. Lu bought two bolts

384
00:20:00,361 --> 00:20:01,321
of fine patterned silk.

385
00:20:01,561 --> 00:20:02,641
I think they're

386
00:20:02,641 --> 00:20:04,081
prettier than that crimson one.

387
00:20:05,891 --> 00:20:07,221
I've heard that you're

388
00:20:07,221 --> 00:20:08,441
highly favored at home.

389
00:20:08,661 --> 00:20:09,961
I must do my best

390
00:20:10,241 --> 00:20:11,801
to ensure you aren't wronged.

391
00:20:15,401 --> 00:20:16,561
Don't lose the rouge

392
00:20:16,961 --> 00:20:17,921
you just bought.

393
00:20:21,441 --> 00:20:22,801
Thank you, Young Master.

394
00:20:29,881 --> 00:20:31,001
What...

395
00:20:31,121 --> 00:20:32,041
What are you doing?

396
00:20:32,601 --> 00:20:33,441
I...

397
00:20:34,041 --> 00:20:35,201
Maintain your distance.

398
00:20:35,641 --> 00:20:37,521
My sister is about to be married,

399
00:20:38,001 --> 00:20:38,881
and you can't afford

400
00:20:39,121 --> 00:20:40,201
to offend her fiance.

401
00:20:43,481 --> 00:20:44,321
Are you mad?

402
00:20:44,721 --> 00:20:46,241
How dare you walk with a strange man?

403
00:20:46,601 --> 00:20:48,321
- This...
- If that bandit sees this,

404
00:20:48,481 --> 00:20:50,121
who knows how he'll punish you?

405
00:20:50,121 --> 00:20:51,121
Sister, he...

406
00:20:52,881 --> 00:20:54,121
The bandit?

407
00:20:56,121 --> 00:20:58,241
Miss Shi, is that what you call me?

408
00:21:02,521 --> 00:21:03,481
Sister,

409
00:21:03,481 --> 00:21:05,001
this is Mr. Ziyu

410
00:21:05,001 --> 00:21:06,321
from Mount Yang.

411
00:21:18,201 --> 00:21:19,641
(Jinchen Tea)

412
00:21:25,921 --> 00:21:27,001
Congratulations, Miss.

413
00:21:27,401 --> 00:21:30,201
Your wish is finally coming true.

414
00:21:31,801 --> 00:21:33,161
At the auspicious hour today,

415
00:21:33,281 --> 00:21:35,321
the Lord will personally deliver the gift list,

416
00:21:35,441 --> 00:21:36,481
showing his respect

417
00:21:36,481 --> 00:21:38,241
and esteem for you.

418
00:21:38,241 --> 00:21:39,361
Cousin Xingzhou has always

419
00:21:39,361 --> 00:21:41,241
been thoughtful and considerate towards me.

420
00:21:41,401 --> 00:21:42,561
Of course.

421
00:21:42,961 --> 00:21:44,281
Once the gift list arrives,

422
00:21:44,561 --> 00:21:46,441
only the wedding ceremony remains.

423
00:21:46,921 --> 00:21:47,761
Miss,

424
00:21:47,961 --> 00:21:49,081
after today,

425
00:21:49,081 --> 00:21:50,281
you'll no longer be my lady.

426
00:21:50,521 --> 00:21:53,121
I will have to start calling you Princess.

427
00:21:59,121 --> 00:22:01,521
The auspicious hour approaches.
It's time to depart.

428
00:22:01,521 --> 00:22:04,761
(Betrothal Gift List)

429
00:22:06,961 --> 00:22:07,801
Go wait for me.

430
00:22:09,321 --> 00:22:10,161
Yes.

431
00:22:33,041 --> 00:22:35,081
This pattern of twin lotuses

432
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:36,681
is exquisite.

433
00:22:37,641 --> 00:22:38,761
The colors are perfect,

434
00:22:39,121 --> 00:22:41,441
creating a sense of white and cyan.

435
00:22:41,601 --> 00:22:42,681
How elegant and pure.

436
00:22:45,001 --> 00:22:46,401
Yushao Porcelain Shop.

437
00:22:47,721 --> 00:22:49,161
I remember this shop.

438
00:22:49,891 --> 00:22:52,321
They made the fish bowl with Tancho Kohaku

439
00:22:52,481 --> 00:22:54,321
in the courtyard.

440
00:22:55,801 --> 00:22:58,681
Is the owner here today?

441
00:23:01,121 --> 00:23:02,201
I am here.

442
00:23:04,661 --> 00:23:06,081
I didn't expect the owner

443
00:23:06,081 --> 00:23:07,401
to be a woman.

444
00:23:08,761 --> 00:23:10,761
Only someone as talented and refined as you

445
00:23:11,011 --> 00:23:12,081
could create

446
00:23:12,081 --> 00:23:13,601
such beautiful porcelain.

447
00:23:15,361 --> 00:23:16,481
Indeed.

448
00:23:17,321 --> 00:23:18,401
You're too kind.

449
00:23:18,801 --> 00:23:20,321
I was inspired by the Lord's wedding,

450
00:23:20,321 --> 00:23:22,061
and only with such best wishes

451
00:23:22,141 --> 00:23:24,121
could I craft this vase.

452
00:23:25,681 --> 00:23:27,921
I wish the Lord and his future Princess

453
00:23:27,921 --> 00:23:29,001
everlasting peace,

454
00:23:29,201 --> 00:23:30,961
like the twin lotuses,

455
00:23:30,961 --> 00:23:32,881
united forever, staying together,

456
00:23:33,001 --> 00:23:34,201
with many kids and blessings.

457
00:23:34,321 --> 00:23:35,601
Well said.

458
00:23:37,241 --> 00:23:39,761
What a clever and charming girl.

459
00:23:44,871 --> 00:23:46,801
The Consort Dowager likes your porcelain.

460
00:23:47,001 --> 00:23:47,841
You...

461
00:23:53,441 --> 00:23:54,441
Please instruct anything.

462
00:23:54,921 --> 00:23:55,921
No need to bother.

463
00:23:58,361 --> 00:23:59,561
Why?

464
00:24:01,041 --> 00:24:01,881
Consort Dowager,

465
00:24:02,401 --> 00:24:04,281
the Lord sent word earlier

466
00:24:04,281 --> 00:24:06,281
that he doesn't favor their porcelain.

467
00:24:06,681 --> 00:24:08,361
The He family, leading the merchants,

468
00:24:08,361 --> 00:24:09,601
has contributed greatly

469
00:24:09,601 --> 00:24:10,441
to the county.

470
00:24:10,521 --> 00:24:11,961
The wedding porcelain business

471
00:24:11,961 --> 00:24:13,161
has been given to them.

472
00:24:18,201 --> 00:24:20,201
If that's the Lord's decision,

473
00:24:20,441 --> 00:24:21,721
so be it.

474
00:24:22,721 --> 00:24:23,721
On behalf of the shop,

475
00:24:23,881 --> 00:24:24,921
we're grateful

476
00:24:25,201 --> 00:24:26,681
to the Consort Dowager and the Lord.

477
00:24:31,361 --> 00:24:33,321
Congratulations. Congratulations.

478
00:24:46,841 --> 00:24:47,681
My Lord.

479
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:50,161
My Lord.

480
00:24:51,361 --> 00:24:52,201
Stop!

481
00:24:52,361 --> 00:24:53,201
How dare you

482
00:24:53,321 --> 00:24:54,641
walk freely in the mansion?

483
00:24:54,961 --> 00:24:55,801
My Lord.

484
00:24:56,201 --> 00:24:58,161
I am Liu Miantang. My husband is Cui Jiu.

485
00:24:58,161 --> 00:24:59,001
Your Go companion.

486
00:25:02,041 --> 00:25:03,321
These past days,

487
00:25:03,801 --> 00:25:06,041
I'm grateful for your care of my husband.

488
00:25:06,481 --> 00:25:08,521
He loves Go

489
00:25:08,881 --> 00:25:10,201
and considers it a blessing

490
00:25:10,201 --> 00:25:11,361
to have met you.

491
00:25:12,401 --> 00:25:13,241
But

492
00:25:13,841 --> 00:25:15,241
we are simple folk.

493
00:25:15,561 --> 00:25:17,161
My husband is gentle and weak.

494
00:25:17,161 --> 00:25:18,601
He only wishes

495
00:25:18,881 --> 00:25:20,561
for a peaceful life with me,

496
00:25:21,041 --> 00:25:22,881
without the intention of mixing with nobility.

497
00:25:23,441 --> 00:25:25,521
If we have offended you in any way,

498
00:25:25,521 --> 00:25:26,921
please forgive us.

499
00:25:49,961 --> 00:25:51,121
What's with the panic?

500
00:25:51,241 --> 00:25:52,081
My Lord.

501
00:25:52,401 --> 00:25:53,561
The Emperor's uncle is here,

502
00:25:53,561 --> 00:25:54,481
with a royal decree.

503
00:25:58,841 --> 00:26:00,121
The Emperor has decreed.

504
00:26:00,281 --> 00:26:01,681
The western tribes invaded us,

505
00:26:01,681 --> 00:26:02,881
affecting the people.

506
00:26:03,241 --> 00:26:05,281
Cui Xingzhou, Lord Huaiyang,

507
00:26:05,401 --> 00:26:07,401
is a loyal official,

508
00:26:07,561 --> 00:26:08,721
serving the country,

509
00:26:08,721 --> 00:26:09,801
and keeping promises.

510
00:26:10,081 --> 00:26:11,081
Based on your merits,

511
00:26:11,241 --> 00:26:13,761
you are hereby General of the Western Front,

512
00:26:13,921 --> 00:26:16,081
commanding the entire army of Zhenzhou.

513
00:26:16,321 --> 00:26:18,561
Within a month, you must reach Jinjia Pass

514
00:26:18,561 --> 00:26:19,841
and intimidate the tribes.

515
00:26:20,121 --> 00:26:21,241
The end.

516
00:26:24,481 --> 00:26:25,681
Lord Huaiyang,

517
00:26:26,841 --> 00:26:27,881
accept the decree.

518
00:26:37,841 --> 00:26:39,041
Lord Huaiyang

519
00:26:39,161 --> 00:26:40,801
isn't someone easy to deal with.

520
00:26:41,041 --> 00:26:42,281
Such a decree

521
00:26:42,841 --> 00:26:44,241
might anger him.

522
00:26:44,401 --> 00:26:46,241
You're the Emperor's uncle.

523
00:26:46,521 --> 00:26:48,201
With the Emperor's decree,

524
00:26:48,521 --> 00:26:50,921
no matter how bold Cui Xingzhou is,

525
00:26:51,361 --> 00:26:53,081
he wouldn't dare oppose you.

526
00:26:55,641 --> 00:26:56,881
Do you think so, Your Majesty?

527
00:26:59,041 --> 00:26:59,881
The books say

528
00:27:00,121 --> 00:27:02,481
the ancient sages created a wooden kite

529
00:27:02,681 --> 00:27:03,801
to fly in the sky

530
00:27:04,001 --> 00:27:05,481
and shoot enemies.

531
00:27:05,641 --> 00:27:08,121
If the Ministry of Works can produce it,

532
00:27:08,121 --> 00:27:09,161
our kingdom

533
00:27:09,161 --> 00:27:11,121
wouldn't need Lord Huaiyang

534
00:27:11,121 --> 00:27:13,161
to constantly trouble Mother.

535
00:27:14,121 --> 00:27:15,481
You're right, Your Majesty.

536
00:27:17,321 --> 00:27:19,721
But what if he refuses to accept the decree?

537
00:27:22,801 --> 00:27:24,401
Then it wouldn't be my fault

538
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:27,761
to charge him with defying imperial orders

539
00:27:28,321 --> 00:27:30,441
and implicating his entire family.

540
00:27:32,281 --> 00:27:33,281
Lord Huaiyang,

541
00:27:33,481 --> 00:27:35,281
are you to defy the decree?

542
00:27:35,281 --> 00:27:36,121
I

543
00:27:38,761 --> 00:27:39,641
accept the decree.

544
00:27:49,441 --> 00:27:50,281
My Lord,

545
00:27:50,441 --> 00:27:51,361
please rise.

546
00:27:55,401 --> 00:27:56,761
And please inform the Emperor

547
00:27:57,641 --> 00:27:59,521
and the Empress Dowager

548
00:28:00,561 --> 00:28:01,881
that I'll prepare the troops

549
00:28:02,361 --> 00:28:03,481
and reach Jinjia Pass

550
00:28:04,081 --> 00:28:05,601
within a month.

551
00:28:07,521 --> 00:28:09,401
Having a general like you

552
00:28:09,841 --> 00:28:11,681
is truly a blessing for our kingdom,

553
00:28:12,201 --> 00:28:15,081
the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

554
00:28:15,681 --> 00:28:17,201
The peace of the northwestern border

555
00:28:17,321 --> 00:28:19,241
for the next decades

556
00:28:19,401 --> 00:28:21,241
depends on this battle.

557
00:28:23,001 --> 00:28:24,441
Do not let down

558
00:28:24,761 --> 00:28:27,161
the common people.

559
00:28:29,801 --> 00:28:30,641
My Lord.

560
00:28:30,801 --> 00:28:31,641
I have to go.

561
00:28:32,441 --> 00:28:33,321
I will take my leave.

562
00:28:42,841 --> 00:28:44,041
You aren't a border general.

563
00:28:44,281 --> 00:28:46,241
Jinjia Pass is in the northwest,

564
00:28:46,441 --> 00:28:49,921
where a general familiar
with the terrain and climate is needed.

565
00:28:50,281 --> 00:28:51,121
Moreover,

566
00:28:51,321 --> 00:28:53,081
the court does have other generals.

567
00:28:53,281 --> 00:28:54,761
Our army has been reduced by half.

568
00:28:55,041 --> 00:28:56,281
The canal troops

569
00:28:56,281 --> 00:28:57,281
cannot be dispatched.

570
00:28:57,801 --> 00:28:59,481
Jinjia Pass is far in the northwest.

571
00:28:59,681 --> 00:29:01,161
How can we arrive in a month?

572
00:29:07,601 --> 00:29:09,761
Is there no room for negotiation?

573
00:29:12,481 --> 00:29:13,441
Mother.

574
00:29:14,241 --> 00:29:16,241
The war is not so terrifying.

575
00:29:16,801 --> 00:29:18,841
It's the mobilization of the entire army today

576
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,521
that has been overwhelming.

577
00:29:20,681 --> 00:29:21,721
I really wish I could

578
00:29:21,721 --> 00:29:22,761
split myself in two.

579
00:29:24,481 --> 00:29:26,081
How can you still be smiling?

580
00:29:40,561 --> 00:29:41,401
This...

581
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:51,201
Defying is punishable by death.

582
00:29:52,281 --> 00:29:53,521
It's not what an official does.

583
00:29:54,521 --> 00:29:56,761
Only going to battle provides some leeway.

584
00:29:57,361 --> 00:29:58,201
Mother,

585
00:29:59,561 --> 00:30:01,001
please forgive me.

586
00:30:14,001 --> 00:30:15,401
If it's necessary,

587
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:17,121
I would also wish

588
00:30:18,121 --> 00:30:20,361
for you to fulfill one of my wishes.

589
00:30:20,721 --> 00:30:21,681
Mother, please speak,

590
00:30:22,001 --> 00:30:23,041
and I will fulfill it.

591
00:30:23,201 --> 00:30:24,041
Good.

592
00:30:24,321 --> 00:30:25,661
Before you go to battle,

593
00:30:25,921 --> 00:30:27,401
marry Binglan.

594
00:30:31,081 --> 00:30:32,081
But

595
00:30:33,121 --> 00:30:34,921
with the battle imminent,

596
00:30:36,081 --> 00:30:37,121
all arrangements

597
00:30:37,681 --> 00:30:39,201
must be simplified.

598
00:30:42,241 --> 00:30:43,081
Tomorrow morning,

599
00:30:43,401 --> 00:30:45,281
go to the Lian Mansion to bring her over.

600
00:30:48,841 --> 00:30:49,681
Consort Dowager.

601
00:30:51,361 --> 00:30:52,881
Binglan...

602
00:30:59,441 --> 00:31:00,281
What happened to her?

603
00:31:00,801 --> 00:31:02,201
A while ago,

604
00:31:02,201 --> 00:31:04,561
she said she felt unwell.

605
00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:07,641
When she learned Xingzhou
was going to the battlefield,

606
00:31:07,641 --> 00:31:08,881
she was stricken

607
00:31:08,881 --> 00:31:10,561
with anxiety.

608
00:31:10,561 --> 00:31:11,401
Look. Look.

609
00:31:11,401 --> 00:31:12,721
She broke out in a rash,

610
00:31:12,921 --> 00:31:14,921
some of which is still oozing.

611
00:31:16,081 --> 00:31:17,361
The physician said

612
00:31:17,961 --> 00:31:20,241
if she doesn't get proper care,

613
00:31:20,601 --> 00:31:22,641
the fever might reach her brain,

614
00:31:23,001 --> 00:31:25,721
which is incurable.

615
00:31:26,121 --> 00:31:27,921
She seemed fine the other day.

616
00:31:28,081 --> 00:31:29,961
Why did she fall ill now?

617
00:31:30,121 --> 00:31:32,001
- Well.
- Is it serious?

618
00:31:32,561 --> 00:31:33,761
Well.

619
00:31:33,761 --> 00:31:35,241
I don't know.

620
00:31:36,041 --> 00:31:37,121
Speaking of which,

621
00:31:37,601 --> 00:31:38,561
I still have

622
00:31:38,561 --> 00:31:40,201
many matters in my family

623
00:31:40,201 --> 00:31:41,721
waiting for me to handle.

624
00:31:42,001 --> 00:31:42,881
Consort Dowager...

625
00:31:43,001 --> 00:31:43,841
Aunt.

626
00:31:44,441 --> 00:31:45,281
In that case,

627
00:31:45,681 --> 00:31:46,801
don't delay any further.

628
00:31:48,241 --> 00:31:49,081
Aunt,

629
00:31:49,201 --> 00:31:50,081
you may go back now.

630
00:31:50,641 --> 00:31:51,481
Alright.

631
00:31:57,401 --> 00:31:58,321
Mother,

632
00:31:59,521 --> 00:32:01,521
the Lian family is refusing.

633
00:32:01,761 --> 00:32:03,681
They fear your son will go and not return,

634
00:32:03,681 --> 00:32:04,881
and that their daughter

635
00:32:05,321 --> 00:32:06,481
will become a widow.

636
00:32:08,601 --> 00:32:09,921
Binglan's illness is

637
00:32:10,321 --> 00:32:11,641
due to her worry about you.

638
00:32:11,961 --> 00:32:13,801
Don't think ill of her.

639
00:32:13,801 --> 00:32:15,321
Perhaps I'm overthinking.

640
00:32:16,241 --> 00:32:17,281
But it has come to this.

641
00:32:18,201 --> 00:32:19,281
Cousin Lian and I

642
00:32:19,281 --> 00:32:20,321
aren't meant to be.

643
00:32:20,321 --> 00:32:21,561
My engagement with her

644
00:32:22,081 --> 00:32:23,081
should be terminated.

645
00:32:23,671 --> 00:32:24,511
Mother,

646
00:32:25,761 --> 00:32:27,441
the journey will be long.

647
00:32:28,401 --> 00:32:29,801
I really don't know

648
00:32:30,481 --> 00:32:32,361
when I can return home.

649
00:32:33,561 --> 00:32:34,761
It's better this way,

650
00:32:35,511 --> 00:32:37,841
so as not to delay

651
00:32:38,061 --> 00:32:39,401
her youth and prospects.

652
00:32:41,601 --> 00:32:42,441
Son,

653
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:44,361
I am not so old

654
00:32:44,361 --> 00:32:46,001
as to be blind and deaf.

655
00:32:47,471 --> 00:32:49,241
I am well aware

656
00:32:50,001 --> 00:32:50,921
of the dangers

657
00:32:52,481 --> 00:32:53,921
better than anyone.

658
00:33:00,361 --> 00:33:02,401
Your father left early.

659
00:33:04,281 --> 00:33:06,361
This vast mansion

660
00:33:07,481 --> 00:33:09,121
and the Cui family's honor

661
00:33:09,121 --> 00:33:11,081
rest solely on your shoulders.

662
00:33:12,801 --> 00:33:13,681
All these years,

663
00:33:14,201 --> 00:33:16,321
you've endured grievances

664
00:33:16,521 --> 00:33:18,441
without complaint.

665
00:33:21,681 --> 00:33:22,521
Now,

666
00:33:24,041 --> 00:33:25,761
to protect us,

667
00:33:25,761 --> 00:33:27,201
you'll have to risk your life.

668
00:33:31,241 --> 00:33:32,121
Mother.

669
00:33:33,161 --> 00:33:35,201
It's nothing. Why speak of this?

670
00:33:36,601 --> 00:33:37,441
Son.

671
00:33:38,961 --> 00:33:41,441
I don't want any military merits.

672
00:33:42,681 --> 00:33:44,761
My only wish is for you to return safely

673
00:33:45,841 --> 00:33:47,201
and for our family to reunite.

674
00:33:51,041 --> 00:33:52,041
Don't worry, Mother.

675
00:33:53,121 --> 00:33:54,121
I will.

676
00:33:59,841 --> 00:34:00,681
Let me see.

677
00:34:02,721 --> 00:34:03,601
This should be fine.

678
00:34:03,601 --> 00:34:04,761
Why are you up?

679
00:34:05,481 --> 00:34:07,281
If the Lord's mansion sends more people...

680
00:34:07,881 --> 00:34:08,721
No.

681
00:34:08,801 --> 00:34:10,201
I'll add more.

682
00:34:11,161 --> 00:34:12,121
Wait, Mother.

683
00:34:12,561 --> 00:34:13,401
How about this?

684
00:34:13,841 --> 00:34:15,241
Send someone

685
00:34:15,241 --> 00:34:16,441
to the Lord's mansion again

686
00:34:16,841 --> 00:34:18,161
to tell them

687
00:34:18,441 --> 00:34:19,601
I am much better,

688
00:34:19,721 --> 00:34:20,761
and marriage is possible.

689
00:34:21,201 --> 00:34:22,721
Are you crazy?

690
00:34:23,241 --> 00:34:25,201
Do you want to marry a dying man?

691
00:34:25,321 --> 00:34:27,121
To continue their bloodline?

692
00:34:27,121 --> 00:34:28,641
It's clear you'd be a widow.

693
00:34:29,321 --> 00:34:30,281
Besides,

694
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:31,761
once you marry him,

695
00:34:31,761 --> 00:34:33,201
if you can't be pregnant that night,

696
00:34:33,401 --> 00:34:35,161
you won't even have a chance to find

697
00:34:35,161 --> 00:34:36,241
another nobleman.

698
00:34:37,161 --> 00:34:38,321
I understand.

699
00:34:38,961 --> 00:34:39,961
But what if

700
00:34:40,601 --> 00:34:42,161
Cousin Xingzhou returns victorious?

701
00:34:43,641 --> 00:34:45,921
So many have died at Jinjia Pass.

702
00:34:46,361 --> 00:34:49,001
Does Cui Xingzhou
have three heads and six arms?

703
00:34:50,161 --> 00:34:52,041
If Jinjia Pass falls,

704
00:34:52,441 --> 00:34:54,041
even if he survives,

705
00:34:54,321 --> 00:34:56,601
the court will condemn him as incompetent.

706
00:34:56,841 --> 00:34:58,521
Then not only will you be a widow,

707
00:34:58,521 --> 00:35:01,721
but our Lian family's future will be ruined.

708
00:35:05,441 --> 00:35:06,841
Your father found a connection

709
00:35:06,841 --> 00:35:08,561
with the Wu family.

710
00:35:08,561 --> 00:35:09,561
They heard

711
00:35:10,281 --> 00:35:12,281
that the court expects defeat

712
00:35:12,281 --> 00:35:14,041
and is preparing to pay tribute for peace.

713
00:35:14,321 --> 00:35:15,921
Think about it. At this moment,

714
00:35:15,921 --> 00:35:18,121
they're sending Xingzhou to fight.

715
00:35:18,641 --> 00:35:19,801
The Empress Dowager

716
00:35:19,801 --> 00:35:21,121
specifically ordered

717
00:35:21,601 --> 00:35:23,321
that if he defied the decree,

718
00:35:23,481 --> 00:35:26,481
they'd gather the troops from Huaidong Camp
30 miles from Zhenzhou.

719
00:35:26,481 --> 00:35:27,801
What does that mean?

720
00:35:29,801 --> 00:35:32,561
The court wants him dead.

721
00:35:35,561 --> 00:35:36,641
But there

722
00:35:37,001 --> 00:35:38,081
is still

723
00:35:38,601 --> 00:35:40,201
a slim hope of survival.

724
00:35:40,921 --> 00:35:42,121
Mother, let me ask you.

725
00:35:42,441 --> 00:35:44,401
What if he's truly skilled in warfare

726
00:35:44,561 --> 00:35:45,801
and returns victorious?

727
00:35:46,561 --> 00:35:48,801
Then marry him after he wins.

728
00:35:48,801 --> 00:35:50,121
He'll have military achievements.

729
00:35:50,121 --> 00:35:51,521
Wouldn't that be better?

730
00:35:51,721 --> 00:35:53,361
Cousin Xingzhou is proud.

731
00:35:53,521 --> 00:35:55,601
If he learns we are deliberately delaying,

732
00:35:55,601 --> 00:35:56,681
he won't marry me

733
00:35:56,681 --> 00:35:58,161
after he returns victorious.

734
00:35:59,481 --> 00:36:00,601
So, Mother.

735
00:36:00,801 --> 00:36:02,161
I ask you to go to the mansion

736
00:36:02,241 --> 00:36:03,841
not because I truly want to marry

737
00:36:04,161 --> 00:36:06,041
but to show our sincerity

738
00:36:06,041 --> 00:36:07,561
to Cousin Xingzhou and Aunt

739
00:36:07,731 --> 00:36:08,841
and soothe them first.

740
00:36:09,921 --> 00:36:10,961
Tomorrow morning...

741
00:36:11,761 --> 00:36:12,761
Tomorrow morning,

742
00:36:13,321 --> 00:36:14,561
I will feign illness again.

743
00:36:17,281 --> 00:36:19,241
That makes sense.

744
00:36:19,641 --> 00:36:21,601
Repeating this back and forth

745
00:36:21,721 --> 00:36:23,921
shows you're enduring illness

746
00:36:24,041 --> 00:36:25,561
and sincerely want to marry,

747
00:36:25,841 --> 00:36:28,081
but your health can't hold out.

748
00:36:28,841 --> 00:36:30,281
Let alone my sister,

749
00:36:30,361 --> 00:36:31,641
even your cousin

750
00:36:31,721 --> 00:36:33,481
will not find fault with us.

751
00:36:36,801 --> 00:36:37,641
Madam.

752
00:36:38,441 --> 00:36:39,801
This is from the Lord Huaiyang.

753
00:36:41,681 --> 00:36:42,521
It's for you.

754
00:36:45,521 --> 00:36:48,721
(Letter from Cui Xingzhou)

755
00:36:49,161 --> 00:36:50,001
What?

756
00:36:52,161 --> 00:36:53,121
Cancel the engagement?

757
00:36:54,761 --> 00:36:55,601
What?

758
00:36:55,721 --> 00:36:56,761
Cancel?

759
00:36:57,281 --> 00:36:59,001
How come?

760
00:36:59,001 --> 00:37:01,961
How can Sister be so unfeeling?

761
00:37:03,761 --> 00:37:06,081
It must be Cui Xingzhou's idea.

762
00:37:06,841 --> 00:37:07,681
Then...

763
00:37:07,841 --> 00:37:09,441
What are you doing? If you go now,

764
00:37:09,441 --> 00:37:10,961
you're just admitting it.

765
00:37:11,401 --> 00:37:12,321
Tomorrow,

766
00:37:12,921 --> 00:37:14,001
when the army departs,

767
00:37:14,281 --> 00:37:15,841
I will drag my sick body

768
00:37:15,841 --> 00:37:17,281
to Cousin Xingzhou's horse

769
00:37:17,641 --> 00:37:19,081
and declare in front of the people

770
00:37:19,081 --> 00:37:20,721
that I will marry no one else but him.

771
00:37:21,201 --> 00:37:22,201
I don't believe it.

772
00:37:22,401 --> 00:37:23,841
He's leaving anyway.

773
00:37:23,961 --> 00:37:25,721
We can't just marry on the spot.

774
00:37:31,801 --> 00:37:32,801
If the war escalates,

775
00:37:33,071 --> 00:37:35,441
there will be various urgent levies and taxes.

776
00:37:36,481 --> 00:37:37,681
In a war,

777
00:37:37,801 --> 00:37:39,881
we traders are always the ones suffering.

778
00:37:39,881 --> 00:37:40,841
Isn't that right?

779
00:37:40,841 --> 00:37:41,761
In my opinion,

780
00:37:42,201 --> 00:37:43,681
Lord Huaiyang is brave and skilled.

781
00:37:43,681 --> 00:37:45,961
The enemy won't break into Jinjia Pass.

782
00:37:45,961 --> 00:37:47,161
That may not be true.

783
00:37:48,241 --> 00:37:50,481
Previous generals have all gone
and never returned.

784
00:37:50,481 --> 00:37:52,641
How much chance does the Zhenzhou army have?

785
00:37:53,401 --> 00:37:54,481
I heard that recently,

786
00:37:54,481 --> 00:37:55,761
Lord Huaiyang

787
00:37:55,841 --> 00:37:58,441
has been conscripting soldiers in Zhenzhou.

788
00:37:59,161 --> 00:38:00,241
Conscripting soldiers?

789
00:38:00,481 --> 00:38:02,241
All the idle young men

790
00:38:02,241 --> 00:38:03,761
on the streets

791
00:38:03,881 --> 00:38:05,841
have been recruited into the army.

792
00:38:06,241 --> 00:38:08,561
This shows a lack of troops.

793
00:38:08,561 --> 00:38:09,841
Doing this at the last moment.

794
00:38:09,841 --> 00:38:11,681
- This...
- What should we do?

795
00:38:11,681 --> 00:38:12,561
They're even

796
00:38:12,561 --> 00:38:13,761
conscripting able-bodied men.

797
00:38:13,761 --> 00:38:15,721
Yes, if you have male relatives at home,

798
00:38:15,881 --> 00:38:17,001
make sure they stay at home.

799
00:38:18,521 --> 00:38:19,761
I need to return home.

800
00:38:19,761 --> 00:38:20,721
No, no.

801
00:38:20,721 --> 00:38:22,081
I must prepare.

802
00:38:22,521 --> 00:38:23,401
Let's go back.

803
00:38:23,401 --> 00:38:24,281
Don't bother.

804
00:38:24,561 --> 00:38:25,401
Goodbye.

805
00:38:26,961 --> 00:38:28,161
You look worried.

806
00:38:29,521 --> 00:38:31,041
I'm worried about my husband.

807
00:38:32,761 --> 00:38:34,121
What's there to worry

808
00:38:34,521 --> 00:38:35,841
about Mr. Cui?

809
00:38:36,721 --> 00:38:38,361
This might be laughable.

810
00:38:38,761 --> 00:38:39,801
My husband

811
00:38:40,041 --> 00:38:41,721
hasn't been home for days.

812
00:38:42,121 --> 00:38:44,001
He's a timid Go enthusiast.

813
00:38:44,601 --> 00:38:46,201
He can't even argue.

814
00:38:47,041 --> 00:38:49,281
If Lord Huaiyang conscripts him,

815
00:38:49,841 --> 00:38:50,761
he might be exhausted

816
00:38:51,161 --> 00:38:52,361
before the battle,

817
00:38:52,361 --> 00:38:53,241
let alone fight.

818
00:38:54,081 --> 00:38:55,161
At such a time,

819
00:38:55,361 --> 00:38:57,001
you're still being melodramatic.

820
00:38:57,361 --> 00:38:58,281
Liu Miantang,

821
00:38:58,561 --> 00:38:59,961
among everyone in the room,

822
00:39:00,081 --> 00:39:01,161
you should worry

823
00:39:01,281 --> 00:39:02,161
the least.

824
00:39:03,881 --> 00:39:06,161
Miss He, what do you mean?

825
00:39:07,121 --> 00:39:07,961
Wait.

826
00:39:08,441 --> 00:39:09,521
Have I offended you?

827
00:39:09,521 --> 00:39:10,641
Just tell me.

828
00:39:11,281 --> 00:39:13,321
I only speak with straightforward people.

829
00:39:18,361 --> 00:39:23,081
(Cui Mansion)

830
00:39:28,481 --> 00:39:29,401
Madam.

831
00:39:32,321 --> 00:39:33,761
We'll leave tomorrow.

832
00:39:34,241 --> 00:39:36,281
Please rest early today.

833
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:37,881
Nanny Li,

834
00:39:38,681 --> 00:39:39,761
could it be that Miss He

835
00:39:40,361 --> 00:39:42,401
knew about my husband's

836
00:39:42,401 --> 00:39:44,241
Go-playing relationship with the Lord

837
00:39:44,641 --> 00:39:46,881
and got upset
thinking I made a cold remark?

838
00:39:47,001 --> 00:39:47,841
What do you think?

839
00:39:49,441 --> 00:39:50,881
How could I understand

840
00:39:51,081 --> 00:39:53,881
Miss He's thoughts?

841
00:39:55,001 --> 00:39:55,841
Madam,

842
00:39:56,241 --> 00:39:57,521
Fangxie and Bicao

843
00:39:57,521 --> 00:39:59,841
have already prepared the luggage.

844
00:40:00,241 --> 00:40:02,761
We'll depart for Beizhou tomorrow.

845
00:40:03,041 --> 00:40:04,081
The journey will be tough.

846
00:40:04,521 --> 00:40:05,361
Madam,

847
00:40:05,641 --> 00:40:07,161
rest early.

848
00:40:08,121 --> 00:40:09,481
Now that the war has started,

849
00:40:09,761 --> 00:40:11,721
I'm even more uneasy.

850
00:40:11,961 --> 00:40:13,201
Let's delay the journey.

851
00:40:13,521 --> 00:40:15,481
Right now, you must accompany me to find him.

852
00:40:15,881 --> 00:40:18,321
I can't rest easy until I know he's safe.

853
00:40:18,321 --> 00:40:19,161
How can this be?

854
00:40:20,721 --> 00:40:21,721
The master

855
00:40:22,041 --> 00:40:23,281
is not an idle person.

856
00:40:23,361 --> 00:40:25,121
How could he be conscripted?

857
00:40:26,201 --> 00:40:27,041
Nanny Li,

858
00:40:27,811 --> 00:40:30,481
you've been urging repeatedly.

859
00:40:31,041 --> 00:40:32,281
It seems you're very concerned

860
00:40:32,281 --> 00:40:33,321
about going to Beizhou.

861
00:40:33,881 --> 00:40:34,761
Well.

862
00:40:35,501 --> 00:40:37,921
It is the master's order.

863
00:40:39,201 --> 00:40:40,041
No.

864
00:40:41,041 --> 00:40:42,081
Why are you not worried

865
00:40:42,081 --> 00:40:43,801
about the master's safety

866
00:40:44,321 --> 00:40:46,041
but always thinking of leaving?

867
00:40:50,441 --> 00:40:51,441
Dear!

868
00:40:53,521 --> 00:40:54,441
Honey?

869
00:41:19,001 --> 00:41:20,081
Honey, you're back.

870
00:41:20,241 --> 00:41:22,081
Now, they're conscripting soldiers everywhere.

871
00:41:22,081 --> 00:41:23,441
You don't know how worried I am.

872
00:41:23,921 --> 00:41:25,001
You're overthinking.

873
00:41:25,911 --> 00:41:27,561
Are you back with your studies finished?

874
00:41:27,721 --> 00:41:29,081
It's not that simple.

875
00:41:29,801 --> 00:41:31,841
I saw that Moru brought a lot of baggage,

876
00:41:32,081 --> 00:41:33,081
which made me realize

877
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:34,641
I've made you worry again.

878
00:41:35,361 --> 00:41:36,601
I was afraid you were anxious,

879
00:41:37,241 --> 00:41:38,481
so I came back to see you.

880
00:41:39,001 --> 00:41:40,241
You're beating around the bush

881
00:41:40,361 --> 00:41:41,801
to avoid telling me you miss me.

882
00:41:43,921 --> 00:41:45,161
I haven't had dinner yet.

883
00:41:45,841 --> 00:41:46,841
Can I

884
00:41:47,321 --> 00:41:49,161
have a good meal tonight?

885
00:41:49,361 --> 00:41:50,921
I'll ask Nanny Li to make the dishes.

886
00:41:52,801 --> 00:41:54,521
I want to eat your crab roe rice.

887
00:41:54,681 --> 00:41:55,601
At this time?

888
00:41:56,401 --> 00:41:57,641
It's too late to prepare.

889
00:41:57,641 --> 00:41:58,481
How about tomorrow?

890
00:41:58,601 --> 00:41:59,521
No.

891
00:42:00,921 --> 00:42:02,201
I want it now.

892
00:42:03,721 --> 00:42:04,761
Please?

893
00:42:05,681 --> 00:42:06,521
Alright.

894
00:42:06,761 --> 00:42:08,041
I'll prepare it right away.

895
00:42:38,401 --> 00:42:39,241
It's ready.

896
00:42:54,241 --> 00:42:55,841
Every night is like tonight.

897
00:42:56,241 --> 00:42:57,681
The moonlight is like water.

898
00:42:58,881 --> 00:43:00,201
Travelers travel far.

899
00:43:07,801 --> 00:43:09,001
Honey, you don't know.

900
00:43:09,641 --> 00:43:10,761
I've been very uneasy

901
00:43:10,761 --> 00:43:12,041
these days.

902
00:43:12,921 --> 00:43:13,761
Why?

903
00:43:15,441 --> 00:43:16,441
If I tell you,

904
00:43:17,081 --> 00:43:18,481
it might make you laugh.

905
00:43:20,161 --> 00:43:22,241
When Nanny Li was packing,

906
00:43:23,041 --> 00:43:24,721
I kept having strange thoughts,

907
00:43:25,561 --> 00:43:26,641
as if

908
00:43:27,121 --> 00:43:28,761
I'd never see you again

909
00:43:29,921 --> 00:43:31,801
after this departure.

910
00:43:33,321 --> 00:43:35,681
Especially with the news of the war.

911
00:43:36,601 --> 00:43:37,761
I feel

912
00:43:38,801 --> 00:43:40,001
even more

913
00:43:41,121 --> 00:43:42,281
uneasy,

914
00:43:44,001 --> 00:43:45,961
fearing that we might part forever

915
00:43:46,161 --> 00:43:47,241
