The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Episode 45

Escort Yilan to the Palace.

Ji Princess.

I underestimated you.

Now that I failed,

I have nothing to say.

It's just…

Xiao Yanyan.

Do you know how many Clans that oppose you

are waiting to kill you?

My biggest regret is that I couldn't kill Han Derang

and avenge my husband and son.

I'd hunt him down even if I become a ghost.

You're so stubborn.

Liangge.

Ji Princess.

Please.

I'll wait for you two

in the hell.

Three years later

Wuguli has been gone for three years.

What Hunian and I talk about in the letters

are still all about state affairs,

only very little about ourselves.

I think she still resents me.

You worship devotedly every time

on the anniversary of Wuguli's death.

After all, Hunian is your sister.

She understands your misery.

Even though she doesn't tell you,

she still cares for you.

You should stop worrying about this.

At this time of year,

you'll always send me mind-easing incense,

no matter how many things I have to worry about,

they'll be relieved because of your incense.

I know it clearly that

now you're the only one who understands my misery.

When the deceased Emperor passed away,

my son was weak and I was newly widowed,

enemies were everywhere.

You were there for me

when the going got tough.

You let me know that

I was not alone.

That's why I'm here today

step by step.

Thank you, Derang.

You don't need to say thank you to me.

It's enough for me to be by your side.

Now His Majesty has reached an adult age,

but those enemies are still waiting for the opportunity to take actions.

Ever since you ordered to draw in each Clan's military power,

royal members have been complaining about it.

Those nobles and old ministers headed by Hugu

refused to turn over their military power,

which is tricky.

If we take their military power forcibly,

I'm afraid the law of our imperial court will be challenged.

Drawing in military power

will affect the foundation of the Khitan Clans.

It's not gonna be easy.

You're in charge of carrying it out.

If you come across someone noble like Guhu,

who's been serving Liao for three generations,

you'll definitely be humiliated.

I've already heard what he has done.

As long as it's beneficial to Liao's future,

my personal honor or disgrace is noting.

No.

You're Prime Minister,

His Majesty's Prime Minister Father.

Your honor or disgrace represents Liao's honor or disgrace.

No one can scorn it.

I've already thought it through.

Your birthday is in a few days.

I'll have a banquet in the Palace

and celebrate your birthday for you.

Don't.

It is not in accordance with law and discipline rite.

Drawing in military power

has aroused disaffection in the imperial court,

if you celebrate my birthday in the Palace,

it's gonna make things worse.

That's my purpose.

As Prime Minister Father,

you deserve this.

Those old ministers act capriciously

out of noble status,

it's time to teach them

what's the etiquette between Emperor and ministers.

And it's time to let them know

they're not in charge of Liao.

I'm a little tired today.

I don't wanna go hunting.

I'd like to take a walk by the lake.

You go back first.

Talan Abo

Are you alright?

Who are you?

Why are you grooming horses here?

'Cause here's a lake.

Do you know this is Crown Princess's hunting ground?

Irrelevant people are not allowed in here.

I breed horses for Crown Princess.

Irrelevant people can't come in,

I can.

Really?

How come I've never seen you before?

My name is Talan Abo.

How about you?

Hunian.

Little Hunian.

What did you call me?

Little Hunian.

Because you looked like a little girl

when you got frightened.

Little Hunian.

The woman I love

can only belong to me.

Little Hunian.

Don't think too much.

Right.

How's your wound?

What's the matter?

Do you know who I am?

You're a bad rider who fell off the horse.

I'm the master of this hunting ground.

Master of this hunting ground…

You…

You're Crown Princess.

You saved me.

I owe you one.

Go ahead. What reward do you want?

I can give you whatever you want.

It's okay.

If you wanna thank me,

Then tomorrow,

come to me in the clan across the lake.

Little Hunian.

I'll wait for you.

Han Derang takes the military power from royal member wantonly.

Everyone of Clan Five feels insecure,

they're all complaining about it.

I hope Your Majesty can make a just decision,

Emperor Sheng of Liao Yelü Longxu

don't let me be bitterly disappointed.

Please rise, Mr. Hugu.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Empress Dowager and I consented to this,

there's nothing wrong with it.

If you think you're treated unjustly,

you can speak to Empress Dowager directly.

The deceased Emperor asked

Her Majesty and Han Derang to assist Your Majesty in governing our country,

not to be in charge.

Now,

Your Majesty has reached an adult age,

but…

But Your Majesty just stay in the Palace,

reading and writing.

I'm really worried about our country.

If things go on like this,

Emperor doesn't look like Emperor, minister doesn't look like minister.

It's…

Our imperial court will be in danger.

You worry too much, Mr. Hugu.

Empress Dowager gave birth to me,

Prime Minister Han is my Prime Minister Father.

There's no danger.

Her Majesty won't harm Your Majesty.

But Han Derang is an outsider,

he was born lowly.

Now he occupies a commanding height position,

instead of rendering service to repay Your Majesty's kindness,

he has carried out imperial examinations system.

He recruits adherents,

and wantonly selects Southerners to be Officers in the imperial court.

Khitan Officers are now less than 20%,

which is inappropriate.

I can't believe that Shifang

has become Prime Minister of Northern Mansion of Liao.

It's so ridiculous.

Your Majesty is kind,

don't think of yourself as the Emperor.

But Han Derang is unscrupulous

has no sense of propriety.

Should those Southerners

be in charge of Liao?

Choose your words carefully.

Though I'm the Emperor of Liao,

I've just got started on state affairs.

I still have to learn from Empress Dowager and Prime Minister how to be a wise Emperor.

Prime Minister used to be the deceased Emperor's affair-assist minister,

who has been serving Liao for three generations.

He is loyal and devoted to me,

and has never made any mistakes.

If I punish Han Derang assertively

just because of his family background,

that would make you old ministers feel bitterly disappointed.

Besides,

the deceased Emperor had been belectured me

that I should treat Prime Minister as my own father,

and shall never violate that.

I know you're loyal and devoted to me,

you put me in front of everything

and you're afraid that I'll suffer losses.

Such being the case,

you should be by my side,

and take up the responsibility of making Liao prosperous and stable.

Don't take things personally.

Besides,

we have laws.

You can only talk about these in front of me.

If others heard what you said,

you picked faults of Empress Dowager and criticized Prime Minister,

then I should punish you for being disrespectful.

I…

Don't make the same mistake again.

I have another thing to report.

It's about the foundation of Liao.

I know.

I've already seen the pictures that you sent me.

Premier Xiuge also wrote me a memorial

which includes the name list of girls of right age from queen family.

I know you all care about me.

It's just choosing a queen

is about our foundation and inheritance.

I have to discuss this

with Empress Dowager and Prime Minister.

Your Majesty has grown up.

You've got your own minds.

It's useless for me to talk too much.

Please excuse me.

It's unexpected that Ji Princess was right.

Han Derang is trying to get rid of dissidents

step by step.

Father,

what should we do?

This has to stop.

Han Derang must leave Shangjing City.

It's not that easy.

Her Majesty is very kind to Han Derang.

But there's much more than that.

The closer a relationship is

between a man and a woman,

the more likely it is to cause bad blood.

The King of Yan Palace

Derang,

Si has been gone for so many years,

how do you think?

Now,

I'm busy with state affairs,

I have no time to think about other things.

I heard that someone wanted to send you women,

but you refused.

Why?

They were all up to something.

I also heard that

you often go to the Palace to see Her Majesty,

is it true?

Mother.

I'm just there to discuss state affairs.

Where did you get all this?

Keep lying.

I gave birth to you.

Ever since you were born, I know what you're thinking

when your eyes and brows move.

Though your father looked like smart,

and he took you with him all the time,

he didn't know

what you are thinking

when your eyes and brows move.

Mother.

What exactly is your plan?

Tell me.

Her Majesty is Empress Dowager,

I'm just a minister.

What can I do?

You're so slow, just like your father.

You're always overcautious and indecisive.

Woo whoever you love.

Mother.

Now she's already Empress Dowager.

Stop.

Don't tell me this.

What's the matter with Empress Dowager?

What's the matter with minister?

It's still just something between a man and a woman.

Don't forget,

you once had an engagement.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Act now,

while you're still young,

you still can enjoy a few good years.

Before you can know it,

you're already old.

By that time,

when you don't have the energy,

you'll regret that.

Grandma.

Pusage, the daughter of Xiao Weiyin, the Emperor's maternal uncle

Uncle.

Pusage, the daughter of Xiao Weiyin, the Emperor's maternal uncle

Yeah.

Come here.

Come to me.

My Pusage.

Every time I see you, I feel so happy.

Listen to me.

If you fall in love with someone in the future,

you should tell him immediately that

you wanna be with him.

For this,

if you act quickly, you'll have what you want.

But if you're slow, then you have nothing.

Don't be like someone,

who is scared from beginning to end.

No wonder no one likes or wants him.

Grandma,

who are you talking about?

My Pusage.

Your Majesty.

As for the celebration of Mr. Han's birthday,

we've already been preparing it.

How about suslik meat?

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Susliks are rare.

Mr. Shuanggu has already

asked someone to feed a couple of them by milk.

They must be delicious.

Mr. Han will definitely like them.

Good.

Your Majesty really care about Mr. Han.

Behave yourself.

Now you even dare to make fun of me.

But Mr. Han

indeed deserves this care from Your Majesty.

He's had a hard life all these years after all.

What do you mean?

You may not know, Your Majesty,

For years, Mr. Han is paramount and powerful,

his wife died and he has no child.

Madam Han is quite anxious about this.

Among those Kings and important ministers,

many were trying to introduce women to him,

some were even willing to marry their daughter to him.

But Mr. Han refused them all.

I didn't know that.

People have already been talking about it in the imperial court.

Everyone understands the reason behind it.

You're being gossipy.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

Off you go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

From now on, I, Han Derang,

will share life and death

with Xiao Yanyan,

we'll be together till the end of the line.

Kedun City

That horse breeder is extremely frivolous.

Everyone knows about his clan.

It's the poorest and seediest place in the north,

even jackals, wolves or river deer won't go there.

I can't believe he'd invite Your Highness to that place.

I don't know who dared him to do that.

I really want to know

why he wants me to go there.

What can he do?

He is just trying to please Your Highness,

seize the opportunity to go up

and then stand above others.

He's not that kind of person.

Your Highness,

you've only seen him once.

How do you know

what kind of person he is?

Alright.

We'll figure it out

when I see him tomorrow.

Your Highness is really gonna go?

Why not?

It's a gift to him.

You're here.

I knew you would come.

Where are your people?

Why?

It's not enough for me to be here?

Who else would you like to meet?

Now that you come here alone,

then you're not Crown Princess today.

You're little Hunian.

Let go of me.

Please don't feel offended.

You are my guest.

so I should take good care of you.

Let's go.

Follow me.

Come.

Bravo.

Great. Nice.

Look.

You're out when your ribbon is taken.

The person who can get the most red ribbons

is today's warrior,

he can take the girl he likes.

Go get him.

In our clan,

every warrior wants Aman.

He definitely wants to give you those ribbons.

You'll participate in it too?

Of course.

For her?

For the girl I like.

Come on.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Come on.

Look at him, he's so great.

Give it to me.

Great.

Nice job.

Perfect. Great.

Good for you.

Well done.

You're awesome.

Bravo.

Great. Impressive.

You're so great.

Great.

Here.

Nice.

-Nice. -Good for you.

Great, nice.

Why do you give it to me?

When you passed through me,

you took my heart.

-Nice. -Great.

-Great. -Great.

Kaihuang Gate

Kaihuang Gate Mr. Liu.

Kaihuang Gate

-This way, please. -Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Uncle.

Look who's here.

Pusage is here too.

Uncle.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Bro Han.

Don't touch my head.

I'm a big girl now.

Yeah.

You're a big girl now.

Uncle.

Are cousin Zhixin

and cousin Pangjin here?

I think so.

Bro Han.

Why all of a sudden

Her Majesty would celebrate your birthday in the Palace?

Is everything alright?

Is everything alright?

Xiao Han, the wife of Xiao Weiyin, the Emperor's maternal uncle

There's nothing wrong.

Xiao Weiyin, the Emperor's maternal uncle

Xiao Weiyin, the Emperor's maternal uncle Let's go inside first.

Xiao Weiyin, the Emperor's maternal uncle

Alright.

Let's go.

Go.

Kaihuang Gate

Kaihuang Gate I hold this family feast

Kaihuang Gate

to celebrate Prime Minister's birthday.

Here's a toast to Prime Minister.

For years, the Emperor and minister work as a whole,

our country is stable.

Prime Minster's contributions cannot go unnoticed.

That's nothing, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

-To Prime Minster. -To Prime Minster Father.

Longxu,

you're the younger member of our family,

take your brothers and sisters

to say happy birthday to your Prime Minister Father.

Your Majesty.

It is not in accordance with law and discipline rite.

Don't think too much, Prime Minster.

It's a family feast,

you're the elder member,

they're supposed to do this.

It's…

Prime Minster Father,

we wish you a long life.

Your Majesty,

please get up.

You have worked hard and performed a valuable service,

There's no need to be punctilious.

I know you love writing,

so I've specially sought this square-end inkstone

to celebrate your birthday.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I've prepared a gift, too.

Your Majesty.

What?

The commander's tally of ordo

has always been in royal members hands.

What Your Majesty's trying to do is not in accordance with our ancestral rules.

I hope Your Majesty can take it back.

Has been in royal members' hands?

It's strange.

So whether ordr belongs to royal members

or His Majesty?

His Majesty doesn't say no,

what are you in such a hurry?

What's that suppose to mean, Your Majesty?

I've been loyal and devoted to His Majesty,

that's why I worry about His Majesty

Ordo can't be in an outsider's hands.

Outsider?

Prime Minister is His Majesty's Prime Minister Father.

Mr. Hugu,

are you trying to sow dissension between them openly?

Your Majesty,

I didn't mean that.

Your Majesty,

I'm afraid that I'm not good at commanding troops,

please take this lavish gift back.

I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness,

I will never forget that.

You are being too modest.

In the past,

the deceased Emperor had once given military power to Prime Minister.

You say it's not in accordance with our ancestral rules,

who made those rules?

Just accept it, Prime Minister.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Recently, several dancing girls

are presented to me by Bohai Department.

Now I offer this gift to you with other people's things.

Happy birthday, Prime Minister Father.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Look.

Who's that?

That's Prime Minster's niece,

the Emperor's maternal uncle, Xiao Weiyin's daughter.

Her name is Pusage.

Pusage.

Royal girls of right age of Liao are all here.

Anyone you like?

It's all up to you.

Which means,

you like none of them.

Wenshunu,

As the mother of a country,

Queen also is your lover,

she's the one who's gonna share felicity with you

and be by your side for your whole life.

I hope you can find someone you like.

Can you understand?

I…

I think Pusage is pretty good.

Weiyin uncle's daughter.

For a Queen,

looks and family status are not that important.

Though Pusage is still young,

her looks are remarkable.

But…

She's kind, honest and sincere, but not foolish.

indeed has great demeanor.

Nice choice.

Thank you, mother.

Bohai Department sent this pastry to me.

They're different from what we have here.

Have a try.

You wanna use pastries to appease me?

You've already fallen for her on the birthday feast, right?

Here, have a try.

It's good.

Send some to Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Prime Minster has been dealing with state affairs,

he works hard at night and day,

I just wanna show solicitude for him,

it doesn't mean that I don't like your gift.

I just feel sorry for you.

Ever since father died,

you've taken care of everything for me,

and have done everything you can for Liao.

But…

You barely plan for yourself.

Of course I have to take care of everything for you.

Father said in his last words that

he hoped you could follow your heart.

At that time, I was too young

to understand it.

But now I've grown up,

and have found the girl I love,

I finally understand

father's good intentions.

He wanted you to let go of the past

and live freely.

If it's Prime Minister Father,

I'm okay with it.

I'm the Empress Dowager of Liao,

What I want is that

Liao is prosperous and the people are at peace.

The deceased Emperor also committed this to Prime Minster's care,

he's got nothing else in his mind.

When you persuaded me, you were clear and logical,

but when it comes to yourself, you're muddled.

For years, Prime Minster has been all alone

and guarding you wholeheartedly.

I wouldn't believe

it's all because of the deceased Emperor's trust.

You care for Prime Minster in everything,

you also love him without knowing it.

If you miss each other,

you'd regret it forever.

We're not like Southerners,

we Khitans don't to stick to trifles.

Ordinary women can remarry,

as Empress Dowager, you have nothing to fear.

Besides,

you've still got me.

no matter who opposes,

I'll always be by your side.

I'll always be your Wenshunu.

Why are you looking at me?

Little Hunian.

Because there's a cute little girl

living in your heart.

Nonsense.

You always hide your true self,

you won't let other people see

nor yourself.

Little Hunian,

you should learn to be who you really are.

In our family, we've got three sisters.

I'm the eldest one.

After my mother died,

I became the head of our family.

I had to take care of my father

and protect my sisters.

I've been living for them all my life.

They must be really important to you.

You must miss them.

How about you?

Where are your families?

I grew up without a family.

It was the villagers in the clan who raised me.

Poor you.

Not at all.

I live freely.

Today, I can go hunting in the woods.

Tomorrow, I can go fishing by the lake.

I can do whatever I want.

I envy you.

You're so free.

I'm happy today.

I haven't been so happy for a long time.

Then stay.

If you stay, you can be happy everyday.

I've still got my responsibilities,

I have to guard my sister

and her country.

Then how about yourself?

When can you live for yourself?

I also wanna live for myself once.

Come back with me.

Be my general.

Be my personal guard.

Then we can be together everyday.

I'm just a horse breeder,

all I can do is breeding horses.

I don't know how to be a general.

Besides,

I've already gotten used to living a free life.

You can be free as a general.

I promise,

you will be free from any rules.

You're still you.

You're my Talan Abo.

You really want me to come back with you?

Little Hunian,

I don't wanna be a general.

But I like you,

I'd like to be your general.
