Episode 23

22

Ever since I met him, it seems as if

23

everything is related to him.

24

Slowly, I became accustomed to his existence.

25

I became accustomed to having him and I've also become accustomed of...

26

and I became accustomed to involuntarily thinking about him.

27

Then that's love.

28

Love?

29

This is love?

30

Before, before there was someone I liked.

31

but that person betrayed me.

32

I originally thought I would be very sad.

33

But in reality, it was more disappointment.

34

I asked myself, was this love?

35

I wasn't sure either.

36

So when you asked me if I like him,

37

I don't know either.

38

Your Majesty.

39

Jian Xue, you can leave.

40

You...

41

You heard it all?

42

This is not fair.

43

You asked her to come set me up.

44

You already know my feelings.

45

But I don't know what you are thinking.

46

Sit.

47

What do you want to ask?

48

I...

49

I want to know...

50

I want to know, what feelings do you have towards me?

51

Do you want to know the truth?

52

You...

53

Are very smart, very special. In these years,

54

I have never seen a woman like you.

55

You're rebellious and sly, but you have justified virtues,

56

Who would give up their life for their friends.

57

So from the beginning, I had an interest in you.

58

Just...

59

after a while of being with you and seeing much of you,

60

everything will no longer be fresh.

61

In the end, the kind of person a man wants by his side

62

is someone who is obedient and appeases me.

63

You, do you understand?

64

Why do you laugh?

65

When I was locked in the Dense Beam Palace Hall,

66

I thought I wouldn't be able to escape.

67

But...

68

But the first person to appear in my mind was you.

69

In that moment, I asked myself

70

if I liked you.

71

It is rather funny.

72

Thank you for telling me this.

73

I understand now how stupid I was.

74

And thank you for your confession.

75

I will take care of things well.

76

How will you take care of things?

77

I will definite repay the help I received.

78

From now on, I won't bother you anymore.

79

I don't need you to repay your gratitudes.

80

You are in my way right now.

81

I just wish you...would disappear quickly.

82

As for the seal in your body...

83

There's no need. My business has nothing to do with you anymore.

84

Look at you, how did you mess things up!

85

How can you use the black color for the Winter Clothing Festival?

86

This festival is a happy occasion.

87

It's the day when His Majesty will choose his queen.

88

So stupid! Watch out or you'll be beaten up.

89

This is really... go away now!

90

Yes, yes.

91

Hurry up! Seriously.

92

I don't look for a moment and he makes a mess.

93

Be careful!

94

MIss Yuwen.

95

The guards today are all our people. When you wear this dress,

96

with this badge, no one will bother you.

97

As for your identity as Yuwen Zi,

98

don't worry. It'll be taken care of.

99

The beginning of the tenth month,

100

brings in

101

The Winter Clothing Festival.

102

Do not forget our ancestors.

103

The Winter Clothing Festival of the Deep Water Nation

104

begins!

105

Your Majesty, at such an auspicious occasion,

106

why do you seem to be unhappy?

107

Is that so? Don't worry about it.

108

♫ What do you know? ♫

109

♫ What is good about the three realms? ♫

110

I'm late. Are you alright?

111

I kindheartedly saved you, you should thank me.

112

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

113

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me. I only want him to love me ♫

114

Girl!

115

You caused the trouble! Come over the change my clothes for me!

116

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

117

We keep running into each other.

118

Do you want to die?

119

I want to live with you.

120

Whether I'm a liar is undetermined.

121

But, you must be a fake.

122

Jerk!

123

Do you like me?

124

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

125

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

126

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

127

I want to know, you...

128

What feelings do you have towards me?

129

I didn't think, that in my lifetime, I would see you being so obedient.

130

The way you are like a delicate woman.

131

Your imperial harem is filled with this kind of delicate woman.

132

Why do you feel intrigued?

133

But I am just intrigued by you.

134

In the beginning, I used all my efforts to come in here.

135

Now, it's so easy to leave.

136

Miss, please hold your step.

137

There are too many people here. Please follow me this way.

138

You're too courteous. You're too courteous.

139

- Come, come.

- Have a drink.

140

Here.

141

Eat. Drink.

142

Come on, come on.

143

Here, let me pour you a glass.

144

First Senior Brother.

145

Come on.

146

Come on, come on.

147

Alright. Good days.

148

Prime Minister, may I offer you a toast?

Sure.

149

We're all friends here.

150

Come, come. Another one.

151

We'll definitely enjoy ourselves today.

152

- Good, good.

- Come, come.

153

The two of us would like to salute uncle with a toast.

154

Good.

155

What a handsome and outstanding young man.

156

Are you Prime Minister's nephew-in-law?

157

Yes, I am Yan Jingchen.

158

We hear you're the Young Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Sect.

159

That's right.

160

He is the son of Yan Lie, the Sect leader of Xuanyuan.

161

Young and talented. He was just appointed as an Official.

162

No wonder he has such an extraordinary air.

163

He is obviously a descendant of a respected family.

164

He and the Prefecture Princess are a perfect match.

165

We are all impressed.

166

This is my husband's first time in the capital city.

167

In the future we'd appreciate help from you.

168

May I offer a toast to thank you first?

169

Prefecture Princess, you are too humble. Mister Yan is obviously an elite.

170

If he enters the court as an official, it will be our nation's luck.

171

Let's drink up!

172

Not bad, not bad.

173

Thank you, sirs.

174

Come, come.

175

That's right.

176

You have a good memory.

177

Get lost!

178

Did the young lady just then

179

look better than me because she's young and cute?

180

There's so much people. Stop messing around. Come, I'll toast you.

181

Get a fruit.

182

Alright. I'll get a fruit.

183

Feed me.

184

Alright.

185

His Majesty, arrives!

186

187

Why isn't Lady Fair here yet?

188

Madam, my lady is too ill to even get up.

189

Your Majesty, this...

190

She doesn't feel well. Let's not force her.

191

In a while, get a doctor and let them take a look at her.

192

Yes.

193

You Majesty, the auspicious hour has arrived.

194

Start.

195

It's the auspicious hour.

196

Winter Clothing Festival now begins.

197

Start the music.

198

It's really great.

199

Not bad.

200

Look at how well they dance.

201

Look at her.

202

Allow me to toast you.

203

- Eat some more.

- Sure.

204

I'll go out for a second. I'll come back later.

205

This is great.

206

What did you say?

207

He's the one who told me to leave.

208

Now you want me to stay. Are you in cahoots to play me?

209

Miss, stop being angry.

210

Young Master, has his reasons.

211

I'm doing this on my own, and he'll surely scold me.

212

But, I really have to tell you something.

213

What is it?

214

Do you remember that night when he went to find the Earth Absorbing Bell for you?

215

You only know that he found it, but you didn't know

216

he was badly hurt after being hit 3 times by the First Princess.

217

I have followed him since childhood. All these years, I have never seen him care for someone so much.

218

I've never seen him helping another person

219

with such willing self sacrifice.

220

But he clearly... clearly pretended to not care.

221

He did it for your safety.

222

He knows you're wounded and doesn't want you endangered more. But,

223

his plan and his own safety will now become uncertain.

224

He wouldn't tell you any of this.

225

You mean, he doesn't want me in danger,

226

so he deliberately treated me like that?

227

- Miss, let me finish talking.

- What else is there to talk about?

228

Winter Clothing Festival has started. I don't want to be late.

229

Thank you, Miss.

230

This must be the Prime Minister's nephew-in-law.

231

Get lost!

232

That young girl

233

is young and beautiful.

234

Feed me.

235

Fuyao? Fuyao, is it you?

236

Sorry. I just drank some wine so I recognized the wrong person.

237

Please forgive me.

238

Hurry and leave.

239

Thankfully the Little Tail cast that spell. Otherwise I'd be dead.

240

I didn't recognize the wrong person! You're Fuyao. Even if you have a disguise,

241

But I can tell from your backside, the way you look. I do not make mistakes.

242

Your Majesty. The Winter Clothing Festival must have the clothes offerings, sword dances and ancestor offerings.

243

There are many in attendance tonight.

244

Has Your Majesty invited any sword dancers tonight?

245

Why would we need sword dancers?

246

Your Majesty, I heard the Ladies have many talents.

247

I wonder if we can see it today?

248

The Prime Minister usually organises these things.

249

This... we need to ask Prime Minister.

250

Your Majesty, I don't know anything about such entertainment.

251

I only know to do my job to relieve Your Majesty's worries.

252

Prime Minister...

253

Your Majesty.

254

Speak.

255

I recently learned a new set of sword play that is quite interesting.

256

I would like to perform for your enjoyment.

257

Oh, sure!

258

But, this sword play is out of the ordinary.

259

I need the servants to make some preparations.

260

Approved.

261

Go do it.

262

Yes.

263

Your Majesty, this sword play came from a hermit.

264

Although it's not some famous choreography.

265

It's magical by the addition of the 12 Lustrous Mirrors.

266

These Lustruous Mirrors are the treasures of Deep Water Nation.

267

They can reflect the entire lifetime of the person standing before it.

268

Although it may appear as only one person is dancing.

269

But the Mirrors will make it appear as if there's a crowd of thousands.

270

It's definitely unique.

271

You really worked hard to get it. Alright.

272

Let's show us your special performance.

273

Thank you, Your Majesty.

274

Your Majesty, may I offer a toast?

275

Come, let's drink!

276

Fuyao, do you know?

277

Ever since we parted on Mt. Mystic Soul,

278

I could only see you in my dreams.

279

First Senior Brother.

280

Because of our history, I still call you that today.

281

But you are already someone else's husband now.

282

It doesn't matter who you married,

283

please take good care of her.

284

because it's your own choice.

285

It... it's not my choice.

286

It's a mistake. The biggest mistake in my life!

287

Fuyao, can you forgive me?

288

We don't need forgiveness between us.

289

Butler Cao. I noticed the colour of our place settings are all different.

290

Is there a special reason?

291

Of course there is.

292

The Ladies, depending on their station,

293

are given different treatment.

294

See, you are Lady Precious

295

You're the most precious and graceful,

296

so all of your tableware are red.

297

Lady Virtuous is a Prefecture Princess,

298

so we used the blue color that they are accustomed to.

299

Lady Fair uses pink tableware,

300

and Lady Virtue uses white ones.

301

All Ladies are given colours appropriate to their station.

302

Huan'er.

303

Fuyao, I know you are upset and sad.

304

I gave up and left you.

305

I know it's all my fault.

306

I... it's all my fault.

307

First Senior Brother, did you really think

308

that I would still be sad?

309

Then are you not?

310

That's right, back at Mt. Mystic Soul, I was heartbroken.

311

But the thing that saddened me was that

312

my most loved and respected First Senior Brother,

313

how could he betray me like that?

314

I thought, wasn't this our childhood promise?

315

How could you go back on your promise?

316

I didn't understand anything. I was really sad.

317

Thankfully, before Pei Yuan and Clique Leader were able to kill me,

318

I left Mt. Mystic Soul. On my way down,

319

I met many people and encountered many things.

320

I finally realised that my world was so small,

321

but this world is large.

322

So I understand First Senior Brother.

323

In order to pursue your goals,

324

giving up on some feelings is nothing.

325

But while I understand why a man would do this,

326

I will never pine for him.

327

I finally understand what I want.

328

Someone who sees only me.

329

No matter the lure,

330

no matter what happens, would not betray me.

331

Of course, I will also return that loyalty.

332

I know that this person is not First Senior Brother.

333

So I won't be heart broken. I'm actually glad.

334

I'm glad that person isn't you.

335

Fuyao...I—

336

I was just confused then, Fuyao!

337

Fuyao, even though I married Pei Yuan,

338

But we're not truly husband and wife. I only have you in my heart.

339

Fuyao, wait for me. Until I've made it.

340

I...I'll give you the best.

341

I'll genuinely only see you.

342

First Senior Brother...

343

Things from the past, let them pass.

344

I'll call you First Senior Brother one last time.

345

Let go.

346

Goodbye.

347

Where was the earring dropped?

348

This Older Sister, have you seen my lady's

349

earing that she dropped?

350

I didn't see.

351

Older sister, it's all over now.

352

If it's like this, my lady will beat me to death!

353

Older Sister, can you help me find it?

354

It was here, it was lost here!

355

But I still have to send to wine.

356

Look, can you pity me?

357

If I can't find it, My Lady will beat me to death.

358

Can you go over there to look? I'll look over here.

359

If you can't find it, this gold leaf will represent my gratitude for Older Sister.

360

Okay.

361

Thank you, Older Sister. Thank you, Older Sister.

362

Where did it go?

363

Where could the earring have went?

364

If I can't find it, my Lady will really... where is that earring?

365

Where did it go?

366

What to do? What to do?

367

I found it!

368

Older Sister! I found it!

369

It was here.

370

Then all is well.

371

Thank you, Older Sister.

372

I didn't help you much.

373

Older Sister, you have helped me greatly.

374

Old Sister, they're in a hurry. Let's go quickly.

375

I am sorry, Lady Fair.

376

Why are you so careless?

377

I'm sorry Lady Fair. Please don't punish us.

378

It's nothing, rise.

379

Yes.

380

Where did you go? Why did you come back only now?

381

I asked you a question.

382

Where did you go? Why did you come back only now?

383

I asked you a question.

384

I don't want to answer!

385

I want to go home!

386

Have you gone mad?

387

Yes, I have gone made.

388

It's about time that I went mad.

389

Your Majesty, I will show my routine.

390

Go ahead.

391

Sister, please hold.

392

Your Majesty, today is Winter Clothing Festival.

393

Winter Clothing Festival is not just about reminiscence. It's also about national patriotism.

394

I don't have any talents.

395

So I will offer a toast to show my gratitude.

396

Rong'er has spoken well.

397

So, let's all,

398

drink the toast at the same time

399

Thank you, Your Majesty.

400

I'm sorry to be late. Will Your Majesty please forgive me?

401

Oh, didn't I hear Lady Fair was sick?

402

Why force yourself to get here?

403

I was feeling terribly ill, but

404

all of a sudden, I recovered. I don't know why.

405

It must be because the Winter Clothing Festival is so sacred.

406

All gods gave their blessings.

407

And the King, the Ladies,

408

and all the Officials' genuine prayers.

409

I am lucky to have caught a little bit of the auspicious blessing.

410

I hope I didn't disrupt Your Majesty's enjoyment.

411

Lady Fair, you are indeed blessed.

412

I am very gratified. Take your seat.

413

The King appears to especially care for Lady Fair.

414

Naturally, she's the Prime Minister's goddaughter.

415

The King obviously values her.

416

I thought they said the most loved was Lady Precious.

417

He even rewarded her with many things. How...

418

Now that the Ladies of Clear Goose Palace are all here,

419

and we have Lady Virtuous' sword dance. Everything is now perfect.

420

Then please, Lady Virtuous.

421

- She dances graciously. - Agree.

422

This is nice.

423

Protect His Majesty!

424

-Your Majesty!

425

-Your Majesty!

426

Your Majesty!

427

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

428

Your Highness! Your Highness!

429

Your Highness!

430

His Majesty is harmed.

431

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

432

Release me!

433

You...

434

Your Majesty, I didn't deliberately do it.

435

Your Majesty!

436

Guards, take down Lady Virtuous who was assassinating His Majesty!

437

How dare you!

438

You were standing close to His Majesty have didn't protect him.

439

What kind of motive do you have? Lady Virtuous causing this kind of accident, it's reasonable and usual practice that she gets arrested first and then investigate.

440

How dare you ignore the manners to the king and scold in presence of the king?

441

What are you coveting?

442

King, I, Gao Song, have always been loyal to you.

443

Ruo'er messed up her sword dance, that's because she didn't learn it well.

444

But if you're saying that she is attempting to assassinate the king, then you're making unfounded accusations!

445

You...

You can quit arguing.

446

I don't think this has anything to do with Lady Virtuous.

447

What is she doing?

448

- Really?

- She throws up.

449

I have lost all my pride today.

450

I...

451

I'd rather die.

452

That's right.

453

Alright, let's clean up everything here.

454

Help Lady Virtuous get out of here.

455

Miss.

456

Your Majesty, there must be a conspiracy.

457

Lord, what do you mean?

458

Even if Ruo'er didn't learn it well, it wouldn't be as bad as this.

459

Someone is framing her.

460

The wine.

461

The wine that she just drank, Your Majesty.

462

There must be something wrong with it.

463

You!

Yes.

464

Your Majesty, there really is something bad about it.

465

Who? Who is framing my daughter?

466

The Son of Heaven is right above, and hundreds of officials are here as witness.

467

And yet someone dares injure people

468

during the night reception of the Winter Clothing Festival. This person is going against the Heavens!

469

Your Majesty!

470

My Lord, calm down.

471

Let's make the conclusion after the results come out.

472

Perhaps there is something else strange about it.

473

Your Majesty, it has to be her who poisoned the wine.

474

It has to be her. I'm sure.

475

Sister, you must be mistaken.

476

Why would I want to drug you?

477

Your Majesty, please judge fairly.

478

Why did you say it was Rong'er?

479

I... I... I...

480

I...She...I also...

481

Ruo'er, it's alright, be brave and just say it.

482

Just now, I already asked the maidservant who is serving today.

483

A'Xiu said, just before I started performing,

484

her personal maidservant went to find a earring or something, and she even used a golden leaf to bride her.

485

She must have poisoned the wine when she wasn't paying attention!

"Hard-to-Get Love" by Lala Hsu

488

♫ What do you know? ♫

489

♫ What is good about the three realms? ♫

490

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

491

♫ How can it make me reluctant to leave? ♫

492

♫ Worry for love, beg for hate ♫

493

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

494

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me, and I only want him to love me ♫

495

♫ What do you use ♫

496

♫ To exchange for this hard-to-get love? ♫

497

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

498

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

499

♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫

500

♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫

501

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

502

♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫

503

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

504

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

505

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

506

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

507

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

508

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

509

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

510

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

511

♫ Have someone's company♫

512

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

513

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

514

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

515

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

516

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

517

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

518

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

519

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