I replace this with 200,000 soldiers from the Sui Yuan Army to thank Your Highness.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.

General Shen Jiang has been on his campaign for many years, you have worked hard and performed a valuable service. There's no need to be so polite.

I heard you just came back to Jiankang City and your wife fell ill.

I've already instructed my medical officer to go and tend to her.

-San Bao.
-Yes.

This is some rare and precious herbal medicine I found in the esteemed pharmacy.

Bring it back for your wife.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.

Additionally,

I already requested the emperor to issue an imperial decree and sanction a marriage for you.

Bestowed a marriage?

Your Highness, there's a difference betweeen nobles and ordinary people.

It was just a joke from the founding Emperor Gao at that time.

My daughter doesn't has this blessing.

A gentleman does not joke. The great grandfather of the Emperor left an edict.

His Majesty and I discussed this before.

You returned with triumphant victory. The Imperial Court is entrusting the Shen family with this important respnsibility.

Because of this, the Shen family is also caught in the midst of intense social struggle.

Forming the alliance is the best protection towards the Shen family.

This is the first step in what His Majesty and I are doing.

This is for the sake of the 200,000 soldiers of the Sui Yuan army at the Northern border.

And even more so, for the state and the common people.

General, do not decline again.

I understand.

Song of Glory

Grand Consort, this is regarding the royal ancestral temple.

You must not listen to anything.

Prince Peng Cheng is the supervisor of politics.

He just got another Concubine.

How could I not show due respect to him?

Moreover, I know nothing about where the Royal Consort came from.

He wants to take a side concubine to sire children.

That's a good thing.

Siring children is indeed an important matter

but historically, nobles and ordinary people have never married each other.

Prince Peng Cheng is taking an ordinary woman as his side concubine. This is against proprieties.

What if this is imitated in succcession in the kingdom?

The consequences are severe.

Imperial Consort, you must not break the rules of the ancestors.

I hope you will consider on behalf of the state and commoners

and break this marriage.

Zhou Xulin, I understand painstaking effort.

- Chun Fang.
- I'm here.

Zhou Xulin, do you still remember

Prince Peng Cheng has the edict from the great grandfather of the Emperor?

I'm just an Imperial Consort that came outside the palace.

Do you want me to resist and fail?

I really can't do anything about this issue.

Don't worry.

Yun Zhi is a good child. As long as I'm here,

she will be the main concubine.

Grand Consort, I'm not doing this for the glory and dishonor of the clan.

It's for the thousands and thousands of years of foundation for Great Song.

Thousand and thousand of years of foundation?

Okay.

Yun Zhi, you're here.

- Greetings, Mother.
- Good.

Chun Fang, let's go drink tea.

Yun Zhi.

Brother, why bother?

Why bother?

Prince Peng Cheng is not giving face to our clan.

He takes the law into his own hands, gives orders to his humble family and is arrogant

and loses his proprieties. As an official concubine, you are impervious to this.

Where did you place the proprieties of the ancestors?

Brother.

- Princess Consort.
- Let's go.

Your Highness.

Xuan'er, you're here.

- Someone come and bring a seat.
- Yes.

Why did Zhou Xulin look for you?

Your Fourth Brother is marrying the daughter of Shen family.

The Princess Consort keeps getting nowhere.

I'm afraid that Zhou Xulin is getting anxious.

Are you talking about Shen Tingzhang, the daughter of the Shen family?

Yes. What other Shen family would there be?

Uncle Ji,

say which daughter will the General let Fourth Brother marry?

Of course, it's the biological daughter of the Shen family.

But General Shen just reunited with his daughter.

Will he be willing to let his daughter get married?

Moreover, with the Eldest Miss' personally, would she be willing to marry him?

Your Highness, how you feel about the Eldest Miss of the Shen family,

is particularly careful.

She is just a woman and she even dared to assassinate Lu Yuan alone.

The first time she met her biological father, she had a violent fight with her younger sister.

She's really someone who abhors evildoers and dares to be bold.

Someone like her will never casually marry someone she has never met.

And the issue about the Eldest Miss return back to the manor of the Shen family,

the Shen family didn't publicly announce this too.

so Your Highness, it will be like what you wished for.

The person who is getting married is the Second Miss of the Shen family.

Really?

Your Highness, I made an indiscreet remark.

Your Highness, the edict of the great grandfather of the Emperor

is to marry the daughter of the Shen family. Moreover, everyone knows that

Ever since the Eldest Miss of the Shen family went missing,

the second daughter of the Shen family continued to be the daughter of General Shen Tingzhang.

Hence, it's possible that Prince Peng Cheng is marrying the second daughter of the Shen family.

What about Eldest Miss and the Second Miss? Make way.

Your Highness!

Sah Jiu Hall

Everyone is looking for you and you still dare to come here.

Madam Shen is ill. I have to come.

It's that severe?

Senior Brother, I remember you have a medicine stone code.

It can treat hysteria. Where is it?

- I burned it.
- You burned it?

I read it and remember it so I burned it.

Write it down.

Write it.

She's Ah Nu's biological mother. Are you willing to let her keep being unconscious and not wake up?

Are you really treating yourself as the daughter of the Shen family?

- Do you know that commiting to the Shen family is just a stop-gap measure?
- I understand.

Do you also know that Prince Peng Cheng is taking the daughter of the Shen family as his concubine?

This has nothing to do with me.

As long as Madam Shen is cured then I will leave.

Hurry and write it.

Fomula for hysteria

Proficient medical practitioner, can this prescription be used?

This method is risky.

If we succeed then Madam will regain consciousnesses.

If it fails, Madam will never be able to recover again.

It's life and death. Please be cautious.

- Zhou Zheng.
- Here.

- Escort the proficient medical practitioner back.
- Yes, General.

This way please.

Where did you find this prescription?

San Jiu Hall.

On the surface, San Jiu Hall is a medical shop

but it actually trades in information from the underground community.

Their news was always reliable.

There definitely isn't a problem with this prescription.

Isn't the information from San Jiu Hall expensive?

Where did you get the money from?

The owner of San Jiu Hall owes me a favor.

The situation is tight. Mother does not have much time.

Since there is no other method, why not try it out.

Father,

I really want to save Mother.

Jia'er, what did you call me?

Father and Eldest Brother,

I know that you guys have been doubting me ever since I came to the Shen family

but I really have no reason to harm Mother.

It was Mother who brought me back and gave me this family

and allowed me to have warmth from the family.

If I really want to harm her

then I should of left before her illness occurred.

Why would I try to find this prescription?

Please trust me. If there is a problem with this prescription

I will trade my life for this. I won't say anything else.

Father, Older Sister travelled the underground community. She has seen and experienced many things.

Perhaps it can really save Mother. Let's make a gamble.

I trust, Sister.

Jia'er, I will give your Mother's life

to you.

Mother will definitely be safe and sound.

General, Garrison Lu requests to see you.

Garrison General arrives, I'm sorry to have missed welcoming you sooner.

His Majesty bestows a marriage, so I'm here especially to congratulate you, General.

Thank you, General Huo.

Grandfather mentioned before that

General followed Emperor Gaozu to expand the territory

and lay down the dynasty's foundation, you were already the hero leading all the troops.

Now that you are in your olden age, you are still just as gallant as in the past.

I admire that.

I'm ashamed.

General, don't be modest.

Among the four generals under Emperor Gaozu, you were the only one

who received the accolade of "Patriotic Pillar."

It's clear that General is blessed by Heaven's protection and is supported by everyone.

Garrison General, be cautious with your words.

I am His Majesty's subject. My livelihood comes from him and I should help relieve his burden.

It's my duty.

General, you returned victoriously and also have been favored to establish marriage with the imperial family.

It's double happiness.

Your mighty sight can hardly be reached by anyone else.

Why be modest, General?

Garrison General, you are already the Minister of Defense at such a young age,

You are also in charge of 100,000 external guards as the Garrison General.

We are all by His Majesty's side, of course you'd know what the limits are.

I am able to have peaceful days today

thanks to Emperor Gaozu

and the current Emperor's unwavering support.

I dare not claim the success as my own.

General Huo, listen to me.

Gossip must be feared. One must treat other people as example to warn oneself.

You are indeed favored by His Majesty's grace.

Prince Peng Cheng can't be left out.

for his generous support and promotion.

It's just a joke. I hope you don't mind, General.

General is calm despite the imperial favor, you truly are an experienced warrior in the battlefield.

I hope you can get Prince Peng Cheng's trust.

Thank you, Garrison General, for the kind words.

It's not early anymore. I'll get going.

Goodbye, General Huo.

Father, mother's medicine is ready. Let's go take a look.

This voice...

This is the leftover dregs after Madam drank her medicine.

How's Madam?

I heard that Madam still hasn't woke up these past few days.

Eldest Miss is making medicine for Madam and taking care of her.

General treats Eldest Miss...

Eldest Miss?

What a filial eldest miss!

Good investigate on the prescription and don't let anyone know.

Yes.

Mother.

Mother, be careful.

What did you call me just then?

Mother.

Call me one more time.

Mother.

Good child.

Zelan, you finally woke up.

It was the prescription that Jia'er brought back that saved you.

Mother, don't be too excited.

Do you feel unwell anywhere? This prescription is very strong.

If you feel uncomfortable anywhere then you have to tell me.

Mother.

Father and Mother,

I'm at fault.

I shouldn't of been muddled and commit a big mistake.

Father, this is the scripture that I coped when I was at the shrine

to reflect my mistake

and to send to the Hu Guo Temple for the monks to light up the incense and read.

I... I don't beg for your forgiveness.

I only hope that Mother can recover.

It's good that you reflected on it.

Good thing your Mother, right now...

- Mother!
- Mother!

- Mother!
- Zelan!

- How are you doing?
- Zelan!

- Mother!
- Mother!

- Wake up.
- Go find the specialist.

Hurry and go.

What is going on? Didn't Mother already wake up?-

Is there a problem with the prescription?

Make way, Sister.

Father, even if I risk my life,

I will save Mother.

Mother.

Are you fine?

I am fine.

Sister?

Sister, are you blaming me?

Blaming me for stealing your efforts for the past few days.

What do you want to say, Sister?

Inside the medicine that I gave Mother

is an ingredient called Achyranthes.

It can dissipate stagnation, but Mother is too weak.

When I was making the medicine, I was being careful.

Mother's illness was getting better

But, today you brought over this bamboo scroll

which had been soaked in the juice of the peach seed.

Peach seed has similar effect as Achyranthes,

so that's why Mother suddenly started to cough out blood.

The so-called blood was just your camouflage.

Older Sister, you are so knowledgeable. I could not think of so much.

I've been copying scriptures at the Buddhist shrine for the last few days.

How would I know what prescription you used, Sister?

If you doubt me, why not just tattle on me to Father?

This time, you've really done it without any holes.

But, you'd better listen well. I don't want to compete with you on any status.

Just be the Miss of the Shen family.

We won't bother each other then.

Do you really think of yourself as Shen family's daughter?

I don't know if I'm really Shen family's daughter.

But I know you are not.

You listen well. I don't understand your sneaky tricks.

But if you dare to make trouble on Mother, I'll kill you.

You would not dare to.

I've been traveling in the outside world for so many years,

do you think I haven't killed anyone as despicable as you?

Mother, I learned this when I was in Meizhou. Try it.

Okay. You eat too.

Okay.

Who is hitting me?

Other than your Sister, who is else is it?

You don't know the rules anymore.

You're being suspicious in front of your Sister's room. What do you want to do?

I... I was seeing what you guys are secretly eating.

Let me try.

That is...

It's sweet. It's not bitter at all.

It taste good.

No manners.

Our Shen family are descendants of military generals.

We also live through turbulent days of blood and blades.

Even the women live inside the manor, we shouldn't forget it either.

That's why when we make lotus soup

we never remove the seeds, so we'll still taste the bitterness.

I understand.

But Mother, to be honest, it tastes better when it's sweet.

Jia'er, I

have selected a few more clever and agile servant girls for you.

Mother, if there's more people here

she won't have room to sleep.

What Feng'er said is correct. I already have enough hands in my courtyard.

Oh. This courtyard

is a bit small. Only a few people already can't live here.

How about I expand it for you?

Mother, you're too biased.

This courtyard is about to be bigger than yours.

You only have Sister in your heart.

Did you forget that you have two sons?

How old are you?

Are you still acting cute?

Your courtyard is closet to your Sister's.

Why not cut down the plum trees in front of your door to turn into a back garden for your sister?

What? That's the place where I practice martial arts.

You can practice martial arts anywhere.

Enough, Mother. Stop messing with Feng'er.

Rest assured, I will not cut down your plum trees.

Sister treats me well.

Jia'er,

I was able to see you again

thanks to your Master.

If I'm able to meet him again someday

then I have to thank him for all he did.

That's right. I have to thank him for letting you come back too, Sister.

Older Sister, I have to face Eldest Brother who is like a column.

I'm about to die from boredom.

You're talking about your Eldest Brother like that. Aren't you afraid that he'll punish you if he finds out?

I'm telling the truth.

Eldest Brother... is he really as wooden as a column?

Not only wooden, let me tell you. He has a girl in his heart,

but he's kept her in his heart so long that she has almost decayed,

and don't tell him.

That's right. Your Eldest Brother

is always review military strategy in his study, other than going to work. He is just like an Elm tree root.

You can't even make any sound by knocking on it.

Exactly! He doesn't talk much on duty at the Prince's manor.

At home, he is like a wooden column.

When he talks to people, it's so boring.

No matter what people ask him, he only replies "Hmm."

"Okay."

"Very good."

Am I really like a column?

You don't know that? He only replies like that. Always.

General, you're back.

Come and drink the lotus soup that Jia'er made.

You will definitely like it.

Let me tell you. What she made

is different from the one I make.

Actually, it's really sweet without the lotus seeds.

Did something happen?

His Majesty wants the Shen family and Prince Peng Cheng make an alliance.

Alliance?

We spent eighteen years to find our daughter.

Are we going to let her get married that quick?

Besides, Prince Peng Cheng is the Prince Regent. There are so many ups and downs in the court.

How can we place our daughter in such a situation?

This won't do. I won't agree.

Zelan, His Majesty already made the degree.

Aristocrats and commoners don't intermarry. What is this marriage alliance really about?

Are those soldiers willing to?

His Majesty's health isn't good.

The Lu family dominates the court. As the Prince Regent, Prince Peng Cheng

is forced to proceed despite the humility in order to achieve his plan.

To restore the court, he must control the military,

and Prince Peng Cheng can only trust the Shen family.

He is doing it for his plan. What about us?

Then we should make the sacrifice?

No matter if it's the past or now,

you only think of government affairs.

When will you think about our family?

At that time, it was because of you that Jia'er...

Enough.

Prince Peng Cheng is the one that needs our Shen family.

Have you ever heard the saying, "high achievers threaten the emperor"?

Since ancient times, for those in politics and power,

there are only two outcomes for those contributing achievers.

Either we'll be trusted forever or...

We Shen family also need Prince Peng Cheng's protection.

But General,

we already found Jia'er.

Let's resign your high position and retire. The whole family can safely

and live a happy life. How about it?

Zelan, you also descended from a general's family.

You should understand like me

why military men fight in the bloody battlefields.

When Emperor Gaozu bestowed "Patriotic Pillar" to me at his deathbed,

I promised that the generations of the Shen family

will protect Song Dynasty.

Lotuses are bitter.

Who is it?

Younger Sister, it's me.

Jia Ning Court

Column...

Eldest Brother.

Winter is coming and the room will be cold.

I saw that you don't like maids serving you

So I prepared a heating pot for you.

Place it inside your bed when you sleep at night.

I doubted you before.

Don't take it to heart.

I... I just...

I know.

You're just worried about Mother.

I won't doubt you again in the future.

I believe that you are my Younger Sister.

Ever since you came back, Mother's illness has been getting better.

Feng'er is more lively now.

There is more laughter at home now.

Jia'er, welcome home.

Thank you, Eldest Brother.

This is great. Prince Peng Cheng is having an allience with our Shen family.

Be careful.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Are you the daughter of General Shen?

I am. My name is Shen Leqing.

"Pleasure and worry is what you do.Clean and elegant".

It's a good name.

Before, I was hoping you would come to the Shen family.

I would be satisfied if I can secretly look at you.

Becoming your Princess Consort

is something I wouldn't dream of.

Do you know that you've been hiding in my heart so many years?

I even dream of your every smile and every movement.

Now I finally have the chance to be by your side.

God still blesses me.

He definitely heard me yearning for you.

Young Miss, you must be thinking of marrying the ideal man that you've been missing, so

you're being shy.

You naughty maid! You only know to tease me.

- You only know to tease me. I'll chase you.
- Alright, alright, I'll stop.

I'll stop talking about it then.

I'm in a good mood today. I'll spare you.

But, Young Miss, the Shen family now has a biological daughter.

So what?

Shen Jia'er just came back so Mother isn't willing to let her get married.

Why don't I get married so that two people's wishes will be fulfilled?

Will that work?

Even if it doesn't work...

even if it doesn't work I have to fight for it.

This is the only chance. I can't give up.

Father.

Qing'er?

I heard about His Majesty bestowing the marriage.

I'm willing to marry in Sister's stead.

You're willing to marry Prince Peng Cheng as a Consort?

Yes.

Do you understand that, as a commoner marrying into the royal family, there won't be wealth or glory waiting for me.

You will also be targeted by the entire nation.

Whether you are favored or not, there will be an endless onslaught of open and invisible attacks.

I am your daughter. I've been at the Shen manor for years.

You and Mother treat me like your biological daughter.

I shall never forget you and Mother's kindness in raising me.

I am willing to share your burden, Father.

This wouldn't do.

I promised your father to raise you to adulthood

and help you find a safe and happy marriage so that you can live your live safe and sound.

Marrying into the imperial family isn't an easy path.

I understand but His Majesty already made the imperial degree.

The bestowed marriage is already decided. If you decline, it will be considered opposing the imperial decree.

Both of you are my daughters.

I can't sacrifice your happiness for Jia'er.

Father, someone has to go.

I am willing to go.

If Sister goes

then I'm worried that Mother will be provoked again. What if Mother...

Come.

You're suffering.

I am not.

Father, I was muddled before.

I can't regret enough and want to do this to redeem my guilt.

There's just something else.

There is a difference between biological and adopted daughters. When I marry in Older Sister's stead,

the news may leak because of the many people in the manor.

Therefore, Father should arrange to let Older Sister leave Jiankang temporarily.

Once I get married, you and Mother can bring Sister back.

At that time, you can publicly announce finding Shen family's daughter.

Then that will be better.

Okay.

Okay.

These are enough for you to spend for a while.

Qing'er, what I told you last time

was to let your Cousin have a position in the army.

But Father just came back.

Could it be that you want to make the fake act into a real one?

Are you really treating Shen Tingzhang has your biological father?

Don't forget how your father died back then.

If that Shen Tingzhang wasn't greedy for military merits, your father wouldn't have...

Did you do what I told you?

I personally found the people this time.

Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong.

Forever

I don't want to see Shen Jia'er.

I can guarantee

that you won't even be able to find her corpse.

Sister, didn't you just come back?

How come you're leaving already? When are you coming back?

Stinky brat, when I'm not here

don't dare to make Mother angry. Do you hear me?

Do you hear me? Speak.

I heard you.

Eldest Brother, when I'm not in Jiankang city, and Younger Sister is marrying into the Prince's manor.

In the future, we can only rely on you regarding this family.

I will definitely take care of Mother.

Father.

No need to say it. I understand.

Sister,

I was muddled before and I made lots of mistakes.

I hope you don't take it to heart, Sister.

Don't worry, Sister. We are sisters after all.

I won't disappoint you.

You just have to remember

what I told you.

General and Madam,

the carriage for Eldest Miss is ready.

Sorry, I'm not Ah Nu.

My existence might be the most dangerous thing towards the Shen family.

Madam, take care.

You don't need to send me off.

Your Highness, just now Fang Qing clearly recognized you but he didn't act smart.

Why is His Highness tolerating?

He was the best student taught by the Imperial Tutor when he was alive.

After the Imperial Tutor passed, Fang Qing taught the Elite Academy

and was the role model for all the students in the nation,

and also will be an honest official for Great Song.

The new reform's revised law won't just need people's support,

but further need all the outstanding talents from the Elite Academy.

San Bao.

Young Master, be careful!

It's you.

It's you.

Young Master!
