=The Legend of Xiao Chuo=

=Episode 9=

Even nothing had happened to Wuguli,

sooner or later, Taiping King would find other reasons

to marry me.

His Majesty is brutal and kills people frequently.

You’re in a high-status,

our family is also on the cusp of the game of power.

Ever since I was a child,

I’ve seen lots of my old family friends

suddenly die.

If marrying Taiping King

can keep our family safe,

then there’s nothing wrong with that.

The common people only see

that it looks great to be Princess Taiping,

but they don’t know

Taiping King has deep scheming

who is very unpredictable.

My girl,

when you marry him,

you have to tread carefully.

It’s not easy

to be Princess Taiping.

I know when I get married,

I won’t be as comfortable as I used to be at home.

But don’t worry, Dad.

No matter what happens,

I’m going to make myself have a good life.

I believe

you can do it.

Miss.

Look, this wedding dress is really beautiful.

Isn’t it beautiful?

It’s so beautiful.

Miss Xiao.

Yanyan, here you are.

Miss Xiao.

You are so selfish!

You only care about your own happiness,

but you have ruined Hunian’s life.

You crazy girl!

This is what I’m going to wear.

Are you going to ruin my wedding?

You only care about wedding

and think about yourself,

have you ever thought about Hunian and our family?

In order to save you,

Hunian had no choice but to marry Yansage.

You’re ruining her life now,

but you still feel at ease and justified.

What are you talking about?

Yes, it’s all my fault.

It’s all my fault, Okay?

Hunian is the most selfless one.

You are so silly, Yanyan.

Haven’t you ever wondered

how this

could be the wishful thinking of Yansage?

In my opinion,

it’s Hunian who wants to be queen herself,

and sees in Yansage who is highly regarded by His Majesty,

and wishes

that he could be able to inherit the throne one day.

-You are so selfish. -Miss.

Hunian has helped you

but you are insulting her.

Miss Wuguli.

I really regret that I helped you.

How dare you push me?

Fine, bad Yanyan,

I don’t have a little sister like you.

I don’t have an old sister like you.

Let me go.

I’m going to teach her a good lesson today.

Miss.

-Don’t be angry, miss. -Don’t stop me.

Miss.

You’re going to get married soon.

Please don’t ruin your makeup.

Miss.

Stop adding fuel to the fire.

Don’t stop me.

It’s about the big day for the two sisters,

and they will only be here for a few days.

How about going out for a walk

and cooling down?

Stop talking.

Guiyin, Chongjiu,

get her out of here.

I don’t want to see her again.

I don’t need you get me out of here.

I don’t want to be here at all.

I don’t want to see you at all.

Get out.

Miss.

-Don’t be mad, Miss. -Go away.

(The King of Yan Palace)

Yanyan.

Bro Derang.

What’s up?

It turns out Hunian did not want to marry him.

It’s all because of Wuguli.

Can’t you try to persuade her?

If you try to persuade her,

maybe she will change her mind.

The wedding ceremony is about to be held,

we can’t change anything.

Yanyan,

Hunian is intelligent and kind,

and she knows what she is doing.

How could Wuguli get to be like this?

Yanyan,

she must be very sad

because you blamed her like that.

Do you

really want to see her get married with a sad face?

If you keep holding it like this,

it’ll get crumpled

and won’t look good tomorrow.

I don’t care.

Don’t you want me to look bad

when I get married?

You know

that I didn’t mean it.

Then what did you mean?

Tell me, what did you mean?

Didn’t you say

I have no conscience

and Hunian is the most selfless one?

Didn’t you say that if I marry Xiyin,

you would never see me again?

Yeah.

You have already known you were wrong,

but you didn’t want to admit it yet.

So I was so angry.

But you are my sister

who is about to get married.

I don’t want you to get married without anyone talking to you.

Except you,

who else will ignore me?

You are the only one who will ignore me.

You are the only one who is cruel.

You have no idea

during the days that I was locked up by Yansage,

I just thought

I would never

see father again,

I would never see you and Hunian again.

I just thought

when you little bad girl compete riding with others

or fight with others,

there would be no one to help you anymore.

All right, stop crying.

What are you crying for?

Is Yanyan in there?

Yes.

They were crying and laughing in there

for a long time,

and now they were asleep.

Miss Hunian,

do you need me to wake them up?

No, not at all.

Go get a quilt.

I will sleep here tonight.

Yes, madam.

My daughters,

if this is your destiny,

then I would like you to remember

that blood is thicker than water.

No matter what the situation is,

you should trust each other

and always be in one mind.

Don’t get involved

in the political struggle.

（Xiao’s Mansion） Be careful!

（Xiao’s Mansion） Thank you.

-Welcome. -Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Slow down, slow down.

Come in, please.

Come in, please.

Congratulations.

Welcome. Come in, please.

Thank you. Welcome.

Come in, please.

Brother-in-law, please.

Father-in-law.

I have no son

but only three daughters,

who are all regarded as a treasure.

Hunian will marry you today,

and I hope you will treat her well in the future

and grow old together.

Please rest assured, father-in-law.

I will also value her as treasure.

Well, as you said.

Please drink the wine, dad.

Hunian,

remember what I told you.

Please rest assured, father.

This is for you, father-in-law.

I don’t need to tell you

how much Wuguli cares for you.

I hope you will treat her well in the future

and live in peace and security.

Don’t worry, father-in-law.

I will not let her down.

Well, as you said.

Please drink the wine, father.

Remember what I told you

and live in peace and security.

All right.

It is the good time.

You guys should leave.

Get up.

Deliver the betrothal gifts.

(Xiao’s Mansion)

Taiping King, you are married our sister

and you can’t just leave like this,

you have to reward us a treat.

Yeah.

We won’t recognize you if we don’t have enough reward.

Sure.

Gaoliu, grand the rewards.

Come on, come on.

Thank you, Taiping King.

Xiyin King,

you couldn’t marry my little sister

without

giving me any treat.

All this for brother Dalin.

Thank you

for taking care of Wuguli all these days.

Thank you very much.

I wish you happiness and good health in the future.

Let’s go.

God Tengri,

I hope you can bless Hunian and Wuguli

happiness and well-being.

Even they have been married,

we’re still the best sisters in the world.

Come on, let’s drink up.

Drink up.

Come on, come on.

Yansage,

congratulations on winning the beauty.

Here’s a drink to you.

Drink up.

Good things should be in pairs, Taiping King.

Come on, Lord Hugu.

Come on.

-Congratulations, Your Highness. -Congratulations, Your Highness.

Thank you for your congratulation. Let’s drink up.

Drink up.

Brother.

What’s up?

All the important figures in the clan and queen family have come here.

I think

it’s going to be silent at Xiyin’s home.

Brother,

do you think when we get married,

whether it could be so imposing

like this or not?

It’s a good thing

to get married with the one you love.

But look at these,

these are too hypocritical,

which is useless.

Do you think Taiping King is so happy today

because of

those who come to join in the fun?

All right, go back and sit down.

Come on, come on.

-Drink up. -Congratulations, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Did the princess send you here?

You go back and tell her

I’ll be right there.

Yes.

Princess,

the front yard is empty

without any guests.

Xiyin.

My Xiyin.

How can they bully you like that?

Here comes the king.

You’ve been waiting so long.

You have been tired all day,

you must be hungry.

I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare some dishes for you

so you won’t be starving.

On the wine table,

no one is my match.

Your Highness, be careful.

I’m all right.

You are really beautiful today.

You are drunk, Your Highness.

I’m not drunk.

I can see

that you’re not willing.

I’ll be waiting for you

till you change your mind.

You don’t want me to leave?

Hunian. Hunian.

You’re mine at last.

Hunian.

Hunian.

I

am right here.

Why do you call me so many times?

I’m afraid I’m dreaming,

so I want to call your name few more times.

Hunian.

Hunian.

Taiping King,

do you really like me so much?

Hunian.

Although I’m Taiping King,

I can choose anyone

from all the girls in Liao Dynasty,

but I don’t care.

You come from queen family

and you should know in particular

the cruelty of the Royal fighting.

Especially for those

who are entitled to inherit the kingdom like me,

there is no peace around them.

Therefore, I particularly want to marry a girl

who regards kinship as the most important,

who would never leave me alone

even when I’m frustrated.

You are the girl.

Taiping...

No,

call me Yansage.

Yansage.

Call me again.

Yansage.

Hunian.

You are really a good girl

and I will cherish you,

stay with you

and protect you all my life.

Wuguli.

You just leave.

Yes.

These dishes

are the specialty of our cook,

and you cannot get them

anywhere else.

Just have a taste.

What’s up?

Xiyin,

I must help you get everything back

and make those who despised you today

regret what they have done.

My silly girl,

it’s a man’s business to fight for these things.

You don’t have to worry about it.

You don’t need to wait too long

then I will make it up to you a thousand times

for what you’ve been wronged today.

Yanyan.

You haven’t left yet.

I worry about you.

I feel very sad.

I feel a lot of grievances.

However,

I really don’t know what to do.

It’s all gone.

And I’m still here.

If you have something,

you can tell me.

Once my father and sister

were the sky above my head.

But since the trip to Youzhou,

I suddenly realized that my father,

who had been thought he could do anything,

has been under the dictate of others;

and my sister,

who is smarter and more capable than me,

can’t even control

her own destiny.

Why?

For what?

Why should we bear this?

Yanyan.

We’ve worked very hard

and will continue to do so.

I know

there is only one reason for all this.

It’s because we let someone who could bring disaster to us

get the power,

so all of us

have to live in the panic

and live in uneasiness forever.

Yanyan, don’t let others hear you.

Am I wrong?

My father has told me since I was a child

that in the Eight Tribes of Khitan,

the one who is capable could become the Emperor.

A leader who couldn’t gain the support of the tribes

and bring benefit to the tribes

is not qualified.

I know

you’ve always had more courage

than anyone else.

You’re smarter than me, Bro Derang.

Can you tell me what to do?

Where should

our Liao Dynasty

and our destiny go?

You need to think about these things yourself,

then you can think it clearly.

If our present Emperor

had been merely the head of an ordinary tribe,

he might

have behaved

no worse than any other tribe leader today.

But when he had the power

that four generations of Emperors

had painstakingly amassed

since Emperor Yelü Abaoji,

his recklessness

could magnify his harm hundreds of times

and there is bound to be a great upheaval

in danger of death.

Is His Majesty

going to kill all those who are against him

or to be killed

by those who opposed him.

Brother Derang,

as far as you and dad,

have you already...

I’m willing to support you.

Just keep it in mind

and don’t talk about it.

Hunian has known it

but Wuguli hasn’t, right?

Yanyan.

Sometimes you’re really smarter and sharper

than I thought.

It’s not Taiping King

and it’s not Xiyin, either.

So is it Prince Zhimo

or Prince Mingyi?

All right.

Let me take you out

for a few days,

and don’t think about it,

okay?

I know

right now

you can’t tell me that yet.

But I hope

it won’t involve my eldest sister and second sister.

Your Highness,

I don’t think she’ll be out of the mansion today.

You’ll draw attention to yourself

if you’re out of imperial palace every day.

Since in Spring Outing,

I saved the His Majesty once,

he has no doubt about me.

It’s no longer a big deal for me

to get away from the palace.

-But you... -Enough, I know it.

I know exactly what to do

and what not to do.

I just

want to return this Pisces jade pendant to her.

Keep up with her, Po.

Hurry up.

Come on.

(Arrest warrant)

Great!

(Arrest warrant)

Everybody, please give us some money if you have,

otherwise, please give us some applause.

Figured cloth, beautiful figured cloth.

Who are you?

Why are you following me all the way from the city?

I didn’t expect such a coincidence

that you and I met again.

You are...

Lady, I don’t know

if you remember what happened on the haystack.

Haystack?

You’re

the Cough Childe.

Cough Childe?

Sorry to make you laugh at me.

But I’d like to say

thank you

for your help at that time,

otherwise

I would have lost my life.

You don’t have to say that, it’s just a little help.

I’m really grateful

to you for saving my life, Miss Yanyan.

You also know my name?

What’s your name?

My name is Mingyi.

Mingyi?

It sounds familiar.

You are the Prince Xian.

The Imperial King of Men is my grandfather

and Emperor Shizong of Liao is my father.

Prime Minister Siwen.

Zhimo King.

Please get up.

Prime Minister Siwen,

you are the veteran of my father,

I just can’t bear that.

You’re so kind.

Prime Minister,

are you just going out of the cabinet?

I have been reading history books since childhood

and I really admire the loyal ones.

There are two happy events

in the Prime Minister’s family,

but you have not forgotten the state affairs,

you’re the real model of officials of Liao Dynasty.

You are flattering me.

It’s my duty.

Actually,

I have something to talk to you, Prime Minister.

There is also the youngest girl in your home,

I wonder if she has been taken.

When my late wife was still alive,

she asked someone to do fortune-telling for my little girl

which was telling she could not marry too young.

Besides, my little girl always gets into trouble

for her reckless nature,

I also have the intention to keep her around

for a few more years of teaching.

There are only second brother and I left in the royal family,

but he is in poor health.

Sooner or later, the throne will be mine.

Please don’t be perfunctory, Your Excellency.

How dare I?

Zhimo King,

you are brilliant and noble,

and you are good enough to be the husband of my little girl.

It’s just because of my little girl’s fate,

I dare not take risks

and don’t want to hurt you, Your Highness.

Of course I understand

how much you love your daughter.

All that will wait for

Miss Yanyan growing up.

Farewell.

In fact, I was not in a good mood today,

that’s why I came out to hunt.

I didn’t expect to meet you.

Is it because of your sisters?

How did you know that?

The whole Shangjing City knew

Prime Minister Siwen had married his two daughters

to two of the three branches of the Taizu

that were most likely to control Liao Dynasty.

It’s nonsense.

My father is not such a person.

If he had a choice,

he would not agree

to marry his daughters to two Kings.

Right.

It’s all because of

he was forced by Taiping King

and plotted against by Xiyin,

so my father had no choice.
