[Weaving a Tale of Love]

[Episode 16]

Come, come.

Xiao Douzi's design

- has nothing special.
- Exactly.

Look, look, it's finished.

[Bureau of Imperital Attire]

Since both of you completed in time,

let's decide the win based on the quality of the embroidery.

A'Bi, you start first then.

Within such a short time, these flowers

can be embroidered to be so lively,

and almost look like the real flowers.

It's truly extraordinary.

It's thanks to Attire Expert Zhuo's tutelage.

Good. Let us all

look at what Xiao Douzi did.

Just like the real flowers.

So pretty.

Look.

His embroidery is so unique.

It's really good.

Xiao Douzi, tell everyone,

why did you embroider this way.

Attire Expert Zhuo's topic is the queen of flowers.

The topic looks simple, but not really so.

The queen of flowers is the most beautiful flower,

so it has an unparalleled beauty.

Plus, it's embroidering the pillow case used by a consort or concubine.

Therefore, it is even more meaningful.

It troubled me for a long time, and finally applied some changes to the flowers.

On the one hand, it portrays the alluring beauty of the queen of flowers.

On the other hand, it needs to surpass the other flowers' brillilant beauty.

This way, it's clear to see which one is the queen of flowers.

There are 3,000 beauties in the inner palace.

Any one of them would like to surpass all the other beautieis and become the emperor's favorite.

I think flowers are the same way.

Master uses queen of flowers as the topic,

so that's what it symbolizes.

Xiao Douzi, I didn't expect that, at such a young age,

you not only embroider such lively work,

you are also very thoughtful.

If you didn't come to the Bureau of Imperial Attire,

it would have be such a waste.

A'Bi, what Xiao Douzi just said,

I already told you once today. Do you remember?

Master told you to change the colors of the clouds on Talented Lady Wu's skirt,

it carries the same meaning as Physician Dou

changing the colors of the flowers.

No matter how pretty the support character is, it cannot overlead the leading charater.

In this competition, Xiao Douzi has won.

Xiao Douzi, A'Bi's seat is yours now.

Attire Expert Zhuo, where do I sit then?

By ranking, it's not appropriate to make you sit at the end.

How about this, you sit behind Xiao Douzi.

Everyone else, move back

one seat in sequence!

- Why?
- Exactly!

Exactly.

Physician Dou is so mightly. You just came and already step on our sisters to climb up.

Everyone, let's make room for Physician Dou.

Let's organize the stuff.

- Why?
- Exactly.

All the older sisters, just call me Xiao Douzi from now on.

I was reckless today

and offended all the older sisters. I apologize.

Sister Qiniang, please wait.

Why are you looking for me?

After I left the jail, I've been looking for a chance to thank you.

If it weren't for your kindness and helping me in secret,

I would have gone to the netherworld by now.

I thank you for saving my life, Sister Qiniang.

Don't mention this matter ever again.

It will be terrible if Master finds out.

I was asked by someone to help, so I fulfilled my promise.

Words aren't enough to thank you for such great benevolence.

From now on, if there is anything that I can help,

I will definitely do my best.

As soon as you entered the Bureau of Imperial Attire, you already impressively overwhelmed everyone.

I wouldn't dare to expect you to repay for kindness.

I only wish that I don't raise a tiger and cause trouble.

Please.

Physician Dou, Attire Chief Zhuo has ordered,

you are here to help us raise our level of skills at the Bureau of Imperial Attire,

so we must let you get a good rest.

This is a solitary bedroom that is assigned to you.

Thank you, just call me Xiao Douzi.

I am Yun Hai. You just came to the Bureau of Imperial Attire, just look for me if you need anything.

Thank you, Brother Yun Hai.

These silver threads sent by the Directorate of Eunuchs are too thin.

We need to buy some thicker silver threads at the West Market.

Which one of you have the time to go?

- I will!
- I will!

Xiao Douzi is fast and has a good eye.

- Just let Xiao Douzi go then.
- I wanted to go.

- Why does she get to go?
- Exactly.

Exactly.

There is a principle of first come first serve.

Good things like leaving the palace to make purchases,

even Sister Qiniang has only got it for a few times.

She is a newcomers, why does she get to have all the good benefits?

Master makes the decisine on who gets to go.

If you don't like it, go tell it to Master.

Don't use me as the target.

Don't think that you're alright since your seat isn't changed.

It's because she hasn't found a chance to challenge you.

Don't talk anymore. Beware that Attire Expert Zhuo will hear it.

- Where is she going?
- Could she be tattling to Expert Attire Zhuo?

That can't be...

Attire Expert Zhuo, may I make an unreasonable request?

I'd like to ask Attire Expert Zhuo to withdraw the seating sequence.

Leaving the palace today...

also please let another sister do it.

Why?

I just came to the Bureau of Imperial Attire,

I don't want to offend everyone.

You are quite candid.

It's too bad that you've already offended everyone.

It's too late to yield to the others.

Do you know why you have offended people?

It's because you are too good.

You've shaken their existing statuses.

If you want to let them accept you again,

you will have to use your real abilities

to totally convince them.

Bureal of Imperial Attire is a place where one makes a living based on true skills.

Only those who have skills can enjoy privileges,

climb up, and become popular among people.

Otherwise,

just being a tolerant good person is not enough.

Understand?

I only want to do my job and perform my duty well.

I don't want to compete with anyone or fight over anything.

Why does this sound so familiar when I hear it?

Years ago, my teacher

was the Number One Needle in the World, in charge of the Bureal of Imperial Attire, and was famous in the whole country.

Such glorious status!

But she was ignorant of the realities,

it is just the same as what you just said.

She insisted on resigning to leave the palace

in order to live a life where she didn't compete or fight.

But what was the outcome?

She had the top skills but no power.

In the end, she ended up losing her life and family, with a ruined reputation.

She couldn't even protect her own daughter.

It happened to the Number One Needle in the World, not to mention you!

Attire Expert Zhuo,

I heard that the Number One Needle in the World, Madam An,

committed the high crime of conspiracy and committed suicide.

Based on what Attire Chief Zhuo said,

there is another reason?

Why are you asking so many questions?

You only need to remember,

in this palace, you must have the desire to move up.

Otherwise, even if you were the Number One Needle in the World,

you would just be as miniscule as an insect or a blade of grass,

your lowly life is expendable.

Thank you for your guidance, Attire Chief Zhuo.

She actually describes Mother as an insect or grass

whose life is expendable.

Zhuo Jinniang, I will make you pay for the blood debt.

Even if we die together,

I will get justice for Mother

and vindicate her of the false charges.

Coming.

Coming.

- A'Ni.
- Liuli.

A'Ni, I've missed you so much.

I've missed you too.

Did you secretly run away from palace again?

Don't worry. This time, I left the palace on duty.

I made purchases for the Bureau of Imperial Attire. Look!

There's no time, hurry and help me. Go.

Are you realy planning to stay in the palace?

I'm staying in the palace to avenge my mother.

A'Ni, how is Uncle?

Upon hearing that I returned to the palace, was Uncle very worried?

Now you ask. Because of you, the show owner is sighing all day.

He said that he didn't take good care of you and felt ashamed.

It's my fault.

But I couldn't help it.

A'Ni, I cannot visit Uncle today.

Otherwise, he will keep me and not let me go back.

Later, tell my uncle

that I don't just have Foster Father taking care of me,

Talent Lady Wu also takes care of me.

I won't suffer.

Ask Uncle to have peace of mind.

Does Talented Lady Wu know who you are?

Talented Lady Wu is a good person. Even though she doesn't know

that I was that little girl who helped her with the auspicious dress many years ago,

but she is very caring toward me.

Liuli, you left the palace today.

I see that you are still joking and playful as before.

But, I keep feeling, and also seeing in your eyes,

a new layer of sorrow.

Tell me, what are you planning for later.

Planning what?

Don't play dumb with me.

How do you plan to avenge Attire Expert An?

I haven't thought through it.

No rush, all I have is time.

I will find the way and the opportunity.

But you...

A'Ni, can I borrow your hairpin to wear?

Today, I want to dress up prettier.

Is it because you are going to see Sir Pei,

that's why you are making the effort to look nice?

I-I am thinking that, in returning to the palace this time,

I probably won't get the chance to wear a dress anymore.

That's why I want to spurce up some

to keep a good memory.

Alright, do what you want. Today,

I will make you up really beautifully.

I've already found out for you.

Even thought Scholar Pei's wage is suspended,

but he said that he is under investigation,

so he still comes to Simen College every day to sign in without fail.

I don't know why he hasn't come today.

Perhaps he is delayed by something.

Two ladies, how about coming another day?

I came here today

to withdraw the lawsuit against Scholar Pei.

Last time, I got reckless.

That's why I mistook him as a thief.

Now I've found the truth, so I especially came to apologize to him.

Since Scholar Pei isn't here, then I need to find Assistant Professor Xue to withdraw the lawsuit.

It's quite an unfortunate coincidence. Something happened at Assistant Professor Xue's home.

I saw him ask for a leave at noontime.

It looks that I have to ask you

to give this letter to Scholar Pei and Assistant Professor Xue.

I wrote everything clearly about the incident.

I hope it will help vindicate Scholar Pei of all the unfair charges.

Little lady, please rest assured.

I will definitely pass the letter on.

[Simen College]

In the past, when you passed by the West Market, it was always like a festival,

your eyes would be so busy looking around.

Today, you didn't get to see Sir Pei, why do you look so down?

When I think about it now, I feel really regretful.

Scholar Pei helped me several times,

but I treated him as a thief.

Before, whenever he said I was stupid, I didn't feel it was fair.

Now, it seems that he was right about me.

Liuli, look at that.

Liuli,

look at me.

Let's look at that, little dough figures!

[Dough Figures]

A'Ni, who do you think he looks like?

He not only looks like him,

he is practically Sir Pei himself.

Boss, I want this one.

Sir Pei, Sir Pei.

Just now, Miss Yu'er came to find you.

She gave this letter.

She said that she had wronged a good person,

so she came especially to withdraw the lawsuit.

- Where is she?
- She left not too long ago.

Thank you, Uncle Zhang.

[Huang's Butter Tea]

Make way!

[Chan's Musical Instruments]

Sir Pei?
[An Residence]

A'Ni, did Yu'er come?

But she has already gone back.

- How long has it been?
- It's been a while.

She has probably entered the palace by now.

Make way!

Xiao Douzi!

Xiao Douzi!

Xiao Douzi!

Xiao Douzi!

I'm sorry.

Yu'er!

Pei Xingjian, why are you here?

I chased after you.

I thought I missed you.

Move aside! Move aside!

Why did you kick him?

Silly. How can a young lady easily let a man touch?

Aren't you a man too?

Floral umbrellas! Look at the floral umbrellas!

I meant well to hold him. Why did you kick me?

- Sorry.
- You're sick.

With your rash personality,

when you go out, you either mistaken others as thieves, or you are so muddled and get hit by a carriage.

How can I be at ease to let you go back to the palace by yourself?

Previously, I was the one who disappointed Sir Pei's kindness,

and actually let you suffer with a lawsuit.

Today I got a chance to leave the palace in order to sincerely apologize to you.

I hope Sir Pei will be kind and generous.

If you still feel that it's unfair, just scold me,

or smack me. It's good to vent some.

Why do you say these formal words. Without this misunderstanding,

I wouldn't have had the chance to meet the crown prince.

Speaking of which, I actually owe you.

It's a different matter. Even though I feel apologetic,

but I can accept the thanks.

So we are even now.

[Eternal Peace Gate]

Oh yes, I heard from Hua Tian, the crown prince's personal guard,

that someone wants to kill you in the palace. What is this about?

That person who wanted to kill me was the person who stole my things.

He wanted to kill me to shut me up. Fortunately I have good luck in longevity and avoided this calamity.

That person has already committed suicide over fear of guilt. Crown Prince is also upholding justice for me.

Sir Pei, you don't need to worry about me.

I didn't know that it's so dangerous in the palace.

You are also disgusied as a male

and can be exposed at anytime.

How about this, be patient for a few days.

I will plea for the crown prince to let you leave the palace.

Thank you for considering for my sake, Sir Pei.

But, I can't leave yet for now.

Why?

There is still something important to do.

I must stay in the palace.

Are you stupid? What's more important than your life?

I cannot tell you yet.

I know that you have a difficulty.

As it is, I cannot force you.

Be careful on everything in the palace.

This daggar has accompanied me for many years. I cherish it.

You take it for your safety.

In the palace, you must be extra careful.

It's getting late, you should enter the palace soon.

I'm going back then.

We won't be able to meet easily. Please take care, Sir Pei.

Yu'er!

There may be a wave of bloody battle in the palace.

Remember, you must stay away from Prince of Cao,

including anyone who is close to him, such as his mother, Consort Yang.

Don't stick your neck out when things happen. No accomplishment, no fault,

that's the basic rule to stay safe and live on.

Someone is endangering the crown prince. Is it referring to Prince of Cao and his mother?

Don't keep asking.

Just keep to heart what I said, and we shall meet again.

Sir Pei, I left the palace this time

specifically to withdraw the lawsuit to vindicate you.

I don't owe you anything else going foward.

"I, Sir Pei, chased to the palace gate,

solely to express thanks to Artist Yu'er.

Artist Yu'er knows right from wrong, full of chivalrous spirit,

you are truly a heroine, an outstanding lady."

I, Sir Pei, used to be impolite in many way,

offended the artist several times.

I'd like to ask Artist not to hold a small person's mistakes to heart.

Please tolerate.

What are you looking at?

I'm impatient too.

Your Highness, there is news!

- You two can leave.
- Yes.

Your Highness.

Pei Xingjian sent over news about Mo Kun.

The first batch of the paper supplies has arrived outside Chang'an City.

Looking at the speed right now, it will arrive at Chang'an at noon tomorrow.

Prince of Cao's men should be making their moves tonight

to mix the armor into the transporting vehicles.

After the armor arrives, it will temporarily be stored in the storage room in Simen College,

and later shipped to Prince of Cao's monor in good time.

Prince of Cao secretly transports armor.

This involves the safety of the palace and the safety of His Majesty.

There must not be any mistake this time. We have to get ahead in order to expose Prince of Cao's plot.

Yes.

Pei Xingjian asked about when Your Highness plan to take action, so that he and Mo Kun can collaborate from the outside.

It's difficult to enter Prince of Cao's Manor.

It's best to take action inside the Simen College.

Yes.

Adjutant Chen, it's getting late, and there is a wide space ahead of us.

Why not take quarter here tonight, then rush out early tomorrow morning.

Then we can reach Chang'an by noontime.

Alright. Set up camp up ahead!

Set up camp up ahead!

Do you see?

Adjutant, water.

Adjutant Mo's carriages are up front.

He doesn't follow the carriages that he is responsible for,

but follow us instead.

Does he smell something?

He shouldn't have.

It's only paper supplies in the carriages.

There is no reason for him to suspect us.

He's been having stomachaches during this journey, that's why we're delayed.

Adjutant, don't worry. I've already told people.

No reckless move when there is stranger among us.

Do this. When setting camps, make one less.

Just say that we didn't prepare enough tents, tell him to stay with me.

Yes.

Adjutant Mo.

Adjutant Mo?

[Puzhou]

[Prince of Cao's Manor]

- Feed some grass to the horse.
- Yes.

[Pei Residence]

This batch of armor will arrive in Chang'an today.

What does the crown prince plan to do?

The crown prince plans to act today.

Today?

The Yulanpen Festival is coming up. His Majesty is going to

gather all the princes and concubines

to the Hall of Immortal Dew to discuss about the Yulanpen Festival's activities.

Important ministers such as Zhangsun Wuji will also be there.

The crown prince said that this is a good time to expose Prince of Cao's plot in front of everyone.

Now matter how His Majesty favors him, he can't overlook this in public.

When does the crown prince plan to greet the emperor.

His Majesty has a habit to take a short nap after lunchtime.

He will probably summon people at 3 pm.

This batch of paper with the hidden armor

will arrive at Simen College at 11 am.

It will be 4 hours before the crown prince greets His Majesty.

It will be just in time.

The crown prince asked me to tell Sir Pei, within these two hours,

there must not be any mishap with the armor that is shipped to Simen College's storage room.

The crown prince will expose, in front of everyone, Prince of Cao's secret transportation of the armor.

At that time, if the armor is serached and found in Simen College's storage room,

the crown prince can take a further step

to ask His Majesty to dispatch people to search Prince of Cao's Manor.

Once it's substantiated that the Prince of Cao has been secretly hoarding armor,

then the high crime of treason will be confirmed.

I shall not disappoint Crown Prince's mission as commanded.

The crown prince originally wanted to assign more people to you,

but he considered that there shouldn't be too many people involved in this matter.

It will arouse suspicion. Therefore,

he lets me stay here to abide your orders.

Thank you.

Is everything going smoothly?

This is?

I am Hua Tian, the crown prince's personal guard. Greetings, Adjutant Mo.

Greetings.

They are indeed swapping out the paper with armor while at camp.

Right now they are going to Simen College to make the delivery.

Are you sure?

I've already checked early this morning before we left. It's confirmed.

Excellent.

Immediately go to Simen College and monitor the storage room

to make sure that batch of armor stay inside the storage room.

Hurry, keep up!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Hurry, keep up.

Hurry up!
[Supply Storage]

Gently.

Hurry and move it inside.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

The two Adjutants.

Both of you have worked hard, Adjutants.

I have been ordered to accept the delivery.

Thank you, Assistant Professor Xue.

There are still three more carriages of goods to unload.

You've worked hard.

We've done everything we should so far.

We only need to wait for the crown prince to rush here

and find the evidence to proof Prince of Cao's guilt, then it's mission accomplished.

Put that inside.

Go.

Have youp prepared the stuff?

I made the preparation last night. It's all here.

This... May I ask impudently.

How did Prince of Cao find out that Mo Kun is the crown prince's man?

Except for the crown prince, who would dare bother with what Prince of Cao does?

Since the crown prince knows about the armor, he will definitely act against Prince of Cao in good time

and obtain witnesses and the contraband at the same time.

Prince of Cao, don't let this opportunity good. Let's go ahead

and play a scheme to let the crown prince

get caught in his own trap.

Crown Prince is the heir.

How certain is Prince of Cao about this?

Xue, you are not thinking of changing sides to go with the wind, are you?

No, no, no. I don't dare to serve two masters.

I am just thinking for Prince of Cao's sake.

This is an important matter. We must not make any mistake.

You are right.

Mo Kun seems to have detected about the armor for some time. Therefore,

he has planned this very thoroughly.

I wonder if he has any inside help

in Chang'an City?

Inside help?

Pei Xingjain!

That's right. It has to be Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian is the inside man for the crown prince and Mo Kun.

It's 3 pm. No more time.

I'll take care of the armor. You take care of the people outside.

If you fail,

you and I will both lose our lives.

His Majesty arrives!

Accuse Prince of Cao for treason? This is a huge matter.

A thorough plan must be prepared.

Isn't the crown prince somewhat reckless by taking this action?

I was reminding the crown prince too.

But the crown prince said Prince of Cao's blade is already upon his neck.

He cannot retreat anymore. If he retreats further,

he may as well give up the heir's seat.

Take me to see the crown prince.

Talented Lady Wu.

Don't go.

His Highness has made up his mind.

In another two hours, he will enter the Hall of Immortal Dew to greet His Majesty.

If he meets Talented Lady Wu now,

it may cause unnecessary trouble for you.

That's why he sent me over to notify you.
