~ Episode 20 ~

23

Second Mister.

24

Mister Qiu, you–!

25

Second Mister,

26

I dragged on my life for so long

27

just to let Mister know who your enemy is.

28

You can never be soft-hearted and light-handed,

29

more so, you can't name a villain as your father!

30

Otherwise, Heir Apparent won't be able to rest in peace in the heavens, Second Mister.

31

[Ganan Gate]

32

Isn't the new King a bit too careless?

33

Choosing consorts is a matter of great important, yet he acted in such an unbelievable manner.

34

Are we going to support such a careless man?

35

If this continues, what might the Deep Water Nation become like?

36

In the past, I thought that this King was young and overly playful.

37

But this is a puppet Qi Zhen is using to control the royal court.

38

However, looking at the past few days,

39

there's another idea hidden under all this ridiculousness.

40

Look at this, look at this! This is the plot you've planted!

41

Oh, my Prime Minister!

42

Prime Minister, where did you find that Xuanyuan Min?

43

Of all the matters he could have muddled with, he had to muddle with the important matter of the internal palace choosing consorts.

44

He conferred the titles of the consorts in front of all the officials, excluding my daughter.

45

If Ruo'er really lost her chance to enter the palace,

46

I, Xi Pingqun, will never accept it!

47

The entry of the Elegant Miss into the palace,

48

if the past rules and logic were followed, no unexpected troubles should have arisen.

49

But the King came up with a new idea all of a sudden.

50

With a sudden change, us as his subjects

51

have no way to stop him.

52

Prime Minister.

53

You were the one in support for that youngster to take the throne.

54

If you're not going to do anything about it, handing such a big Deep Water Nation

55

to a careless youth to mess with,

56

you will definitely be censured in the future.

57

Your Highness, that's an overstatement.

58

My Ruo'er was not chosen.

59

Yet the daughter from the Tang family, Tang Zhirong, was chosen!

60

Prime Minister, say,

61

in terms of appearance and family background, what is my Ruo'er lacking compared to her?

62

If Prime Minister isn't calculating Tang Bonian's 150,000 soldiers

63

and even his highest merit from restraining the bandits in the Southwest,

64

Prime Minister is thinking that winning over the support of the Tang family is the best plan.

65

Wait a minute.

66

It is true that Tang Bonian has over 100,000 soldiers under his control.

67

But who in the upper and lower imperial court doesn't know,

68

that the one who has the greatest power and military strength

69

is you, Prefect Xiping?

70

If I were to rely on someone, I would rely on you.

71

The choosing of the consorts

72

was entirely chosen by spinning the jade spinner.

73

Prime Minister, I already have 13 sons.

74

But I have only a daughter, Ruo'er.

75

I bear the pain of parting with her to send her into the palace.

76

My Ruo'er must become the queen in the future.

77

Today has been a thoroughly unlucky day!

78

Us Xiping has always been one of the most prominent families in the Deep Water Nation.

79

We have never lost the King's favor.

80

Which king didn't bond with our family by marriage?

81

Which king in Deep Water Nation doesn't have the blood of our family flowing in him?!

82

Prefecture Princess, please cease your anger. Don't get yourself sick from being angry.

83

Talking about loyalty...

84

Talking about glory, in the Deep Water Nation,

85

who is comparable to our Xiping family?!

86

Everyone says,

87

that I was born to be the queen!

88

But today, why don't I even have the qualification to enter the palace?

89

No way. I must find my father to think of a solution.

90

Currently, not all of the 4 main consorts are named yet.

91

There is room for discussing who will be chosen as the queen.

92

Much of the matters in the internal palace are trivial, changes are common.

93

Your Highness, cease your anger. Return for some rest first.

94

Leave this matter to me.

95

I've promised you before, that I won't break my word.

96

Prime Minister.

97

Come in.

98

Official, this is an imperial edict that was just delivered.

99

I'll say what I have to say about today's matter here.

100

If Ruo'er doesn't get chosen and embarrass me, Prefect Xiping,

101

I naturally won't be concerned with other people's feelings.

102

Your Highness, please stall.

103

This imperial edict states, that the Prefecture Princess has been named the Lady Virtuous.

104

I believe your manor must have also received this edict now.

105

It really...

106

It really is my Ruo'er.

107

Now Your Highness can rest assured, right?

108

What does the Prime Minister mean by that?

109

Isn't it your wish for your daughter to be conferred?

110

If Prime Minister already had this planned,

111

why did you have to make it troublesome for me and my daughter?

112

Could it be Prime Minister wanted to show off your powers to me

113

or were you afraid that I wouldn't be like Tang Bonian, following Prime Minister's lead?

114

Your Highness, where did you come up with that?

115

The King suddenly changed his mind, I also just got to know of this.

116

Moreover, I've always seen Your Highness as a close friend.

117

How could I deliberately complicate the situation?

118

Let's hope that is the case. If Prime Minister has the heart to play tricks,

119

picking on my helplessness, I will never leave the matter alone.

120

Your Highness, you've overthought.

121

I'm taking my leave.

122

If it weren't for him having control over massive military forces and might be of use to me,

123

I would never let a measly vassal prince arrogantly boss me around.

124

Was there any news about why the King suddenly changed his mind again?

125

No.

126

The imperial edict has been delivered to the Prime Minister's Manor. Prefect Xiping was also present.

127

What was Gao Hao's reaction?

128

As Mister anticipated, he seemed angered when he left the Manor.

129

It's just that, since you knew Qi Zhen and Prefect Xiping has collusion between them,

130

why did you still confer Gao Puruo as a Lady?

131

Isn't that like raising a tiger to one's detriment?

132

Gao Hao is a man with short temper and overly skeptical,

133

he also has the strategical advantage of having control over the Southwest border.

134

He's used to being arrogant and oppressive.

135

Although he and Qi Zhen have collusions, they are cautious of each other.

136

I let his daughter fail to be chosen so that he could be provoked a little.

137

Only with this one provocation,

138

the animosity between them will grow.

139

But he has been provoked, yet you're still going to let his daughter into the palace.

140

Could the Mister be thinking to...?

141

What are you thinking?

142

I heard that Gao Puruo's personality is similar to her father's.

143

To not put a girl like that in the palace harem,

144

isn't that too unfortunate?

145

Make a great fuss.

146

We can only find an opportunity if they make a fuss.

147

Mister, well done. Accomplish two goals with one act.

148

Stand upright.

149

Are you too into the acting?

150

Yes.

151

- This way, please.

- Yes.

152

Old Master, General Tang Bo Nian's disciple requests for your audience.

153

- Allow him in.

- Yes.

154

Please come in.

155

Your inferior hereby greets and pays his respects to Your Prime Minister on behalf of General Tang Bo Nian.

156

General Tang has shown brilliant military service,

157

he is Deep Water Nation's hero. You don't need to conduct yourself with such formality.

158

For this trip to the Capital, General Tang explicitly told me to let you know that he is greatly indebted to you

159

you're like a second parent to him, this time, he was dispatched for duty and can't personally come to see you.

160

He specially ordered that I must put on my best behavior.

161

This is a present I brought for Prime Minister to show his filial piety.

162

We hope Prime Minister will readily accept this gift.

163

He indeed is very considerate. You can get up.

164

Thank you Prime Minister.

165

Our General said that he's been stationed at the border for so many years,

166

that matters pertaining to the Royal Court--he really doesn't know much about.

167

This time, young miss was chosen to enter the palace, thanks entirely to your recommendation.

168

If later on, our young Miss gets blessed with the King's favor,

169

we definitely won't forget the favors you've done on our behalf.

170

Since she is General Tang's beloved daughter,

171

Of course, I would do my best to help.

172

Then, we'll rely on Prime Minister.

173

If Prime Minister doesn't have any other orders for me,

174

then I will take my leave and return to report back to the General.

175

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com

176

Tang Bo Nian's response sure was fast.

177

There is a matter I need you to take care of.

178

By that time, Prince Wenyi's manor was already under surveillance

179

not even a fly could escape.

180

In order to preserve you and your brother's two lives,

181

the Prince Heir Apparent instructed me to go to Qi Zhen,

182

made me promise him to write a report exposing his intent to commit treason.

183

Solely due to the report,

184

only then, was I able to gain Qi Zhen's trust

185

and in exchange, was given the opportunity to execute the task of collecting all the corpses from the manor,

186

it was only by using this method that I was able to secretly save the lives of both young masters

187

so I could save at least one last branch of the Deep Water Nation's royal bloodline

188

Prince Heir Apparent...

189

Prince Heir Apparent, a legendary hero who appears only once in an era. Valiant and righteous.

190

But in the end...

191

he fell into the villains' trap and was framed for treason.

192

The last order he gave me

193

was all for the sake of preserving his own flesh and bones

(protecting and saving the lives of his children).

194

Now, you take a look...

195

you take a look at the man strutting around in the Prime Minister's manor. He is still alive!

196

What is the world coming to?

197

Even if I were somewhat capable,

198

I would dig his heart out--but even doing that wouldn't appease my hatred!

199

What are you thinking about? You still haven't gotten to work?

200

Godfather, I will go do it this instant.

201

Selling buns! Hot steamy buns!

202

[Pleasing Wind Restaurant]

203

Mr. Zong has come!

204

I've only not been here for a few days, but look how festive and busy this place has become.

205

Lucky the boss put an ad through the Wu Ba agency. The chef came that very afternoon!

206

Look, this is the ad.

207

If you need a house keeper, carriage or anything, just go through this agency.

208

Our chef may be young.

209

But her skills are extraordinary.

210

As you see, in this short period of time.

211

We're fully booked until the middle of next month.

212

Of course for Mr. Zong, with your fame.

213

We especially cleared out a good spot for you.

214

There's nothing better in life than delicious food.

215

We'll definitely be the best restaurant in Kun Capital City

216

with a great chef like that.

217

- Really?

- Please, what would you like to order Mr. Zong?

218

I'll get a serve of sweet and sour prawns.

219

Sir, you must be psychic! Sweet and sour prawns is our chef's specialty.

220

Please wait a moment. I'll bring it right up.

221

Qi Yun?

222

It really is her.

223

Brother Yue. What are you eating?

224

- Sweet and sour prawns.

- I want some too.

225

Nope, this is all mine.

226

Brother Yue, you're so mean.

227

In the future, I will eat all the best food in the capital.

228

and I won't leave you any.

229

She's fully recovered?

230

How are you enjoying your meal?

231

It's really good

232

Your sweet and sour prawns.

233

- You can try our sweet and sour prawns next time. It's really delicious!

- Enjoy your meal.

234

Who is the chef here?

235

Enjoy.

236

Who is the chef here?

237

I am, why?

238

Miss, come with us.

239

Why should I go with you?

240

Then, we have no choice but to offend you.

241

Palace officials, could this just be a misunderstanding? This here is our newly hired head chef. You--

242

- Get lost! Take her away.

- Stop!

243

Official Yun.

244

I came late. We've alarmed you Young Miss. Please forgive us.

245

Yunhen Brother! I've only hid for a few days

246

and you've already found me. This is not interesting at all!

247

Yun'er, it's time you come home.

248

That young lady seemed like she came from an impressive background.

249

Wasn't that Official Yun, from the Prime Minister's manor?

250

- Was it?

- It was...

251

- What do you guys think?

- It really is so pretty.

252

Here inside the palace is actually quite interesting.

253

Ladies.

254

Each and every one of you ladies were born and raised in prestigious households and famous families. You all are graceful, beautiful and talented.

255

However, inside the palace is different from the outside world. The rules here are strict and serious.

256

So I invite each of you, starting from tomorrow, to start learning the proper palace etiquette.

257

This is a special facial serum, concocted with a unique blend of ingredients specially made for the harem ladies

258

it represents the king's kind and considerate intention, and he hopes that after you use this,

259

that you will all glow with youthfulness and health.

260

Thank you Your Majesty.

261

Then I invite each of you ladies to follow me to Zhaoyan palace.

262

The palace has already been prepared so each of you will have your own living quarters in the palace

263

Do you think there might be a trap? We can live anywhere,

264

but why must we all be crammed in the back of the palace?

265

Zhaoyan Palace is the main residence of the harem.

266

The Ladies were selected to be concubines. Of course you'll all live here.

267

Although it's all part of the palace. There's still a difference between each hall.

268

Queens live in Yongjia Hall.

269

Favoured consorts live in Jingyuan Tower and Chujin Gardens.

270

So if you're neither the queen nor a favored consort, and have no family members or sponsors to support you, what happens then?

271

- Then they're alone for life.

- What?

272

Say, how come men can have so many concubines, but women can't?

273

Miss, don't ever say this kind of thing again.

274

It's true though! One man would be too busy to have time for all these women.

275

Accepting so many women into the palace, but then ignoring many of them, wouldn't that be ruining their lives forever?

276

- Miss, don't say that!

- What?

277

I think I just saw right over there...

278

a five colored phoenix fly by.

279

Right, right, right, it just flew by..just flew by.

280

- I don't see it.

- True that.

281

This five colored sacred phoenix has long been extinct in this nation. Lady Yuwen must have seen wrong.

282

Oh, I saw wrong. I saw wrong.

283

Ladies. This is Yongjia Hall.

284

Out of all of us, the one most blessed with the best luck

285

is you Sister. I've heard my father say

286

that your father is our Deep Water Nation's bigger-then-life, powerful, renowned General

287

And now, to add to it, you've just been conferred the title of Consort Prestige,

288

Sister will definitely have this Yongjia Hall in the palm of your hands in the near future.

289

To be able to protect over Deep Water Nation is my family's privilege, and is the source of our Tang family's glory and honor.

290

This Yongjia Hall...is the private living quarter of the Deep Water Nation's queen.

291

How could I be blessed with such glory and favor.

292

Although, as for Miss Jian Xue here,

293

her father, Official Jian Shen is a talented scholar, who was personally promoted and championed by Marquis Zhang himself.

294

It is said that the Star of Wisdom shines upon him.

295

It follows naturally then, that Miss Jian is beautiful both inside and out. You definitely have such huge potential.

296

I--

297

Lady Yuwen is Prime Minister's goddaughter who he has just taken under his wing,

298

to have a figure such as him as a godfather, the future looks bright and smooth sailing with such a firm mountain that you can lean on.

299

If it really plays out like the way you've just described, then I will definitely treat everyone to a drink.

300

Everyone look, who is that? And why is she even sitting in a sedan chair?

301

Yeah who is that?

302

Your Majesty personally delivered an imperial edict to confer me as Lady Virtuous.

303

Right, he even granted me a sedan chair.

304

What? Did you all have to walk over?

305

Such a far distance, you must be tired.

306

You didn't expect this, did you?

307

You're right. If it wasn't for the luck that the red mark brought for you that day,

308

how would the King have known you were so beautiful?

309

You–!

310

You–!

311

Someone come! Someone come! This one dared to hit me! Someone come to arrest her!

312

Which eye did you see me hit you? Do you have evidence?

313

- You–!

- To make such a fuss when we just entered the palace,

314

did you want the King to hear of this? I see that you don't want to keep the conferred titles you just received.

315

The King's consorts should be intelligent, kind, well-mannered and virtuous.

316

This sister's virtue is really an eye-opener.

317

Who are you? Who are you to frighten us?

318

Then continue making a fuss.

319

The King...

320

The King's temperament is hard to grasp. If we were to really anger him,

321

what are we to do?

322

At the worst, we could all surrender our titles.

323

Let's go and explain it to the King.

324

As if I'd be bothered with you.

325

The King's imperial edict is here.

326

Ladies, your living quarters has been arranged.

327

The imperial edict hereby announces!

328

Lady Precious, Tang Zhirong, has been assigned the Forever Excellent Palace Hall.

329

Lady Virtue, Jian Xue, has been assigned the Angelica Wisteria House.

330

Lady Fair, Yuwen Zi, has been assigned the Intoxication Spreading House.

331

Vibrant Miss, Fu Jiayi, Na Lanjing, Chen Xiangxie,

332

Zhang Wanting, Liu Jueqi will be assigned by the Imperial Business of the Inner Palace.

333

That is all from the King himself.

334

Thank you for the King's holy grace.

335

What about me? Why didn't anything on this give me an accomodation?

336

This... Lady, I am only here to deliver the message. I didn't know you weren't included.

337

- What do you think you are? How do you do your job?

- I–

338

I am the Lady Virtuous that the King himself personally conferred.

339

What's your name? I must ask my father to punish you thoroughly!

340

My Lady, please don't be angry.

341

This... there's another hall that's empty. How about you put up with that one up first?

342

Put up?

343

Am I someone who can casually put up things with? Hurry and go get it done! If you don't do it well,

344

see whether I'm going to beat you to death!

345

Yes. Yes.

346

My Lady is living in the Intoxication Spreading House, that's not bad.

347

Let's leave.

348

Hey! Halt! Why couldn't I be the one to live in the Forever Excellent Palace Hall?

349

Tang Zhirong is only an illegitimate daughter of a General of the Faraway Lands. If she can live there, why can't I?

350

You all tell me, shouldn't I be the the one living in Forever Excellent Palace Hall?

351

On the day the tortoise celebrated his birthday, guess who came?

352

A monster.

353

A tortoise is celebrating his birthday?

354

Let's leave.

355

You're calling me names!

356

Old Master, Old Master! Miss is back.

357

You still remember to come back?

358

You don't want me to? I'll leave then.

359

Miss, look, you've already come back,

360

so don't act wilfully anymore.

361

In the beginning, you said you were going to go out to see the world. This one trip took 3 years.

362

As your father, my hair has become white from waiting.

363

Then why did you capture me to bring me back? I can come back when the time is right.

364

If I knew, I shouldn't have come back to Capital Kun.

365

Elder Miss, what kind of angered words are you saying?

366

Let me tell you, while you were travelling through the Five Regions learning craftsmanship skills,

367

you have never been picked on, have you?

368

I was naturally born cute, of course nobody would pick on me.

369

Miss, you don't know this,

370

it was all because Old Master always had someone following behind you.

371

He was worried that you were bullied. You're the Old Master's darling.

372

He didn't allow anything small to happen to you, Miss.

373

For the sake of his hard-worked efforts,

374

don't blame Old Master anymore. Okay?

375

Alright, alright. I've come home anyway.

376

But...

377

Father, if you want me to stay here obediently, promise me a few things.

378

As long as you're happy, anything will do.

379

- You won't force me to study the noble etiquettes anymore?

- I won't.

380

You also won't force me to meet with sons from wealthy families?

381

Who cares about them?

382

- Really?

- Of course.

383

As long as you stay at home obediently, I'll promise you anything.

384

385

Father.

386

Yun'er is at fault.

387

I won't ever run amuck anymore.

388

When you were on the outside these 3 years, father has never stopped missing you, do you know that?

389

I'm sorry, Father.

390

Alright. Alright, alright.

391

Father is still the best.

392

Yes, of course.

393

As long as you come back and not run amuck,

394

I am happier for that than anything.

395

Take a guess what's inside this box.

396

It wouldn't be an accessory you bought for me, right?

397

Woah!

398

It's Hua Hua!

399

Hua Hua!

400

I saw you cried for many days after the one from before went missing, so I found a new identical one.

401

It just loves going inside the box.

402

Alright...alright...your grandmother misses you, why don't you go to greet her.

403

Hua Hua.

404

Why are you just idling there? Come with me.

405

Welcome madam.

406

Forego the formalities. You may all get up.

407

Thank you madam.

408

[Intoxication Spreading House]

409

Although it's a little plain, it's very peaceful. And will be a great place to stay.

410

Sister.

411

Greetings to you Sister.

412

Lady Jian Xue.

413

Miss Gao was persistent that she must live in Yongjia Hall, but Zhi Rong Sister shouldn't be the one to have to suffer because of Miss Gao

414

so I agreed to move out of my room instead. Don't know if Sister would mind sparing me a guest room?

415

This place is so spacious, so not even just us two, it could fit even a couple more people.

416

You can choose any room, small or large.

417

Never would have thought that in just such a short time, Gao Pu Ruo was able to flip the plate

(change her fate).

418

Now that she's here, the future will bound to be a mess.

419

Gao Pu Ruo is Prince of Xiping's daughter,

420

how many queens and consorts have all hailed from the Gao family, naturally, she won't be knocked down so easily.

421

Look at how each and every one of the ladies yesterday looked naive, simple and pure

422

but which one of their backs isn't supported by the might of an official from the previous reign?

423

Miss, you must be careful.

424

Their fights have nothing to do with me. I am okay as long as I can get what I want.

425

Is that so?

426

Is Lady Fair here?

427

Sister, I heard that Sister Yuwen moved here

428

and I thought to come and visit.

429

And by the way, I brought some little things for Sister.

430

Send them all in.

431

I...This...I have troubled Younger Sister.

432

I thought there was something wrong. I thought you were also going to move into these shabby quarters.

433

I... I just wanted to become closer to Older Sister.

434

I won't beat around the bush with Sister. That year, it was because of the Prime Minister's recommendation that my father was able to become a military officer.

435

Given this chance to marry and come into the palace, none of this would have been possible if not for the Prime Minister's benevolence.

436

So from the looks of it, we can technically be considered sisters who both came from the Prime Minister's Manor.

437

That is true, that is true.

438

If...If Older Sister does not mind,

439

why don't you come live with me in Forever Excellent Palace Hall?

440

But if I were to move over,

441

Miss Gao...who knows how she might react?

442

I'll just live here--at least I can take advantage of the peace and quiet here.

443

That's well too.

444

Then, what about that Older Sister?

445

I dislike loudness, so this place is quite nice.

446

Oh, perhaps I'm just being too nosy.

447

Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave.

448

Older Sister, if there is anything you need, please never be too courteous.

449

Oh right,

450

this hairpin here, was crafted by the top of the top craftsman of the Deep Water Nation,

451

it goes really well with Sister's complexion.

452

I bought it especially from weiping boutique

453

so I hope Sister will accept it.

454

I have burdened Younger Sister.

455

Older Sister, the palace is vicious.

456

Older Sister must act with caution.

457

The both of us got into the palace both because of Prime Minister's recommendation. This gives us all the more reason why we should especially look out for each other.

458

Then I will not bother Older Sister further.

459

This truly is gifted by a rich family.

460

Even a mere hairpiece is of superior quality.

461

[Intoxication Spreading House]

462

This Mystical Spirit Leaf is with me at all times.

463

If you can take it from me. I'll help you break the seals.

464

No strings attached.

465

Stealthy things, this girl has done them often at Mt. Mystic Soul.

466

Lady Gui. Here is the beauty pack you asked for.

467

Put it here.

468

This will make your skin as silky as snow. You'll be the most beautiful one of all.

469

♪ How many threads of carnal love have drifted away along the water? ♪

470

♪ A strand of ligusticum striatum delivers my lovesickness ♪

471

♪ From now on, you'll see this flower as seeing me ♪

472

473

♪ I hope you'll be calm and observant in every detail ♪

474

♪ Be an official with an attitude of upright and honesty ♪

475

Everything is prepared.

476

Rong Er. Have a break.

477

I've heard that although General Tang is renown for his might.

478

He's also well learned in plays and music.

479

He's a true scholar.

480

At first I thought that was an exaggeration.

481

But after hearing you just now. It really is unforgettable.

482

This talent,

483

must be hereditary.

484

- Anyone here?

- Present.

485

Your Majesty.

486

- Reward her!

- Yes.

487

What should I reward you with that is good?

488

My Dear, you tell me, what do you want?

489

It's already my honour to be able to perform for Your Majesty.

490

I dare not ask for any reward.

491

Although...

492

If I may ask for anything.

493

Please allow me to serve you tonight, Your Majesty.

494

Dear Consort, please get up.

495

Your Majesty. Although there are now four Ladies.

496

But position of Queen is empty. No marriage rites have been performed.

497

It's also the first night the Consorts have entered the palace.

498

If Lady Gui stays the night. And word gets out...

499

You talk too much.

500

I do talk too much.

501

The clothes prepared for the King are all ready.

502

Alright. Go help him change.

503

- Yes, Sir.

- Go.

504

It's so hazy here. I can't see properly.

505

If I do something inappropriate.

506

Those old men in Court will have something to say tomorrow.

507

Well...

508

Your Majesty.

509

I've only just ascended. Some things are out of my control.

510

Why don't you go back and rest today?

511

Let me pick a date.

512

We'll follow the rules. You can stay over then.

513

Your Majesty, I--, I don't want to leave.

514

Alright. Up to you.

515

Come with me.

516

I'll bathe and change.

517

You come do it.

♫ What do you know? ♫

521

♫ What are good about the three realms? ♫

522

♫ If there're no three poisons, if there're no worries ♫

523

♫ How can it make me reluctant to leave? ♫

524

♫ Worry for love, beg for hate ♫

525

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

526

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me ♫

527

♫ I only want him to love me ♫

528

♫ What do you use to exchange for this hard-to-get love? ♫

529

♫ If there's no sickness or weakness, if there's never oldness ♫

530

♫ How can it make a spark to chase after stars alone? ♫

531

♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫

532

♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫

533

♫ It wants me to be so pretty that I seize his soul ♫

534

♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫

535

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

536

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

537

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

538

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

539

♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫

540

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

541

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

542

♫ And have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫
