your highness, in accordance with your order,

it is all well prepared

and enjoy your shopping, I shall leave you alone for your decision making

mother-in-law

how about this bracelet

the color is too boring

i still think this hairpin with rubies

looks more festive , jubilant, and solemn

comparing with that

it is fore sure your pick is better

then we shall purchase this, and wait in the future, when Yujin gets married

we can give it to our dear daughter-in-law

it is just not sure which girl

is good enough for my dearest mother-in-law

as a sister-in-law, you should put more efforts

check around and see whose family has lovely and docile girl,

for her appearance,

decent and looks fine will be enough

my little Yujin has been weak since he was a child,

but he is also inpatient

if he can find a nice and decent girl

form a family and grown up, so that he won't always play around with those crappy friends.

you can be rest assured

i have put this in my mind

by the way, you and Yuque has married for two year, why isn't there any news from your belly?

HURRY UP

have you read today's Dongjing News?

Yes, i have read. the living yama is returning to Jingcheng

it is said in the news that living yama is over 7 foots tall with a strong body

eyes are as large as bells, fully grown hair

there is even a picture of him

look at his picture, i can sense strong evil spirits

the living yama kills people like chopping vegs, he kills hundreds to thousands at one time

there are more exiting things

they said, he skins people, chops their flesh, cooks them with all methods into meals.

braised meat balls, steamed belly meat,

is it real? I heard even tigers, lions, and cobras,

are afraid of him

have you ever heard about this living yama?

yes, i have heard from some of my servants,

I heard that he was knighted recently by His Majesties,

and was given the title of Grand Marshal

what ?

with such a severe looking

i can't see him, can't see him

the Dongjing News only publish some rumors and tales,

and rumors to kill time, it is not trustworthy

furthermore, he lives his life of the living yama

we enjoy our good days and lives, two distinctive routines.

isn't it?

yeah, you are right.

when my son Yujin marries a gentle and decent girl

i will then give this hairpin to her

that will be great

so disappointed, what a day

knight the 2nd son of Prince Zhao, Zhao Yujin,

as the Nanping Prince

he shall marry the Grand Marshal, Xuanwu Marquis, Ye Zhao, as his wife

the living yama

Popo (mother-in-law)

call the imperial physicians, call them, quick!

go, quick !!

what's happening? Popo

go away

Yujin

you will be dean soon!

What is happening? why am i in trouble and going to die?

what the hell is going today

i was bullied by a few scumbags before

now it is you trying to scare me

you are going to die, but you say I am scaring you?!

you know I am easily frightened

it is okay if you scare me to death, but be careful, my mother will cry until the she awaken all your ancestors

say

today I heard from my aunt

Her Majesties, the Empress Dowager just announced her edict that you will marry the Grand Marshal, Ye Zhao

WHAT?

is that said by the queen consort her self?

YES!

in accordance with Her Majesties's edict

the queen consort and Zhang imperial noble consort have commanded servants to work extra hours to prepare your wedding ceremony

noh noh noh, Guo Yuanjing

the Ye Zhao General you said, is the Living yama?

yes, that's him

no, NO! you are lying

I knew you are going to say that

I tell you, Servant Jiang has been to your house to deliver Her Majesties' edict

this is specifically appointed by the emperor himself

the empress dowager was worried about your royal status is not compatible with her status with the living yama

and knighted you Nanping Prince

Nanping Prince?!

Yujin

I know yellow weasel (refer to the emperor) doesn't like me as always

however, I am his direct blood nephew

no matter how bastard I have been

i will not, will not love men!

i am, from head to toe, inside out, a REAL MAN

are they out of their mind?

that yellow weasel is pushing me into the hell!

Yujin

Zhao Yujin, Zhao Yujin

that is because you have a face prettier than most women

what a beauty with an unfortunate life

wait a second

are you two getting confused ?

Ye Zhao, is a woman

for the past 8 years, she tricked the Liao people, soldiers of Song's army,

and even the emperor and the empress dowager themselves

it is just a few days ago, she revealed her true identity

saying she is a woman

therefore the emperor, His Majesties, decided to appoint her a marriage.

after discussing with the Empress Dowager,

they decided to appoint Yujin as the groom

okay, that's how it has progressed

alright, in that case, congratulations Nanping Prince

nah nah! that's not right either.

now what?

i had a second thought, it is risky to marry the living yama

she spent 8 years with his soldiers,

no one even discovered her true identity

this is the prove that she has a very masculine appearance

a man's look

well, then, the living yama, what does she look like?

wait, it was mentioned in the Dongjing News today

hurry up, show us!

she has eyes like bells, wide and bloody red mouth

she has white wax colored skin, fully grown hairy legs

she has hairy legs!

this is horrible! scary!

Yujin !

calm down

don't, stop, don't

bastarded yellow weasel,

what's his intention

I, Zhao Yujin,

am a well-known figure in the man-about-town circle

He, he is doing this to me

what exactly is his intention?

at present, you need to work out some ideas

that is the most important issue now

oh my god

Yujin brother

bad news! very bad!!

Nanping Prince

You mother, her highness, is requesting you to come home immediately

who is Nanping Prince?!

your whole family are Nanping Prince!

no, no , no, I am afraid, my whole family have no intention to be one.

your highness

it is only a few minutes that you become the Nanping Prince

Your mother has just passed out

what, my mother passed out?

Yujin bro

your highness, wait!

mother

my son!

mother, what exactly is going on?

my son, why are you so unfortunate!

mother

why it is you who have to be in the marriage

since your dad passed away, we lost our foundation, our family has little influence in the imperial government

other people can do whatever to us

I can't imagine the rest of your life

this is so f**ked up

the yellow weasel, how can he

popo

how can he appoint me as the groom to marry the living yama?

where exactly I offended him

he is doing this to me

mother is always bias

brother has bad reputation

empress dowager, Her Majesties, appointed this marriage

utilized my wasted younger brother to fix the current dilemma,

this is all what he deserves

husband, my darling, say something, what shall we do now?

mother

Empress Dowager her Majesties said Xuanwu Marquis is very honorable and incompatible

she is not to marry any random man

furthermore, this marriage is appointed and decided by the Empress Dowager her self and the Emperor himself

mother, shall you accept this

NO, I am not marrying her

stop, nonsense,

brother, the edict of the Empress Dowager is not to be rejected

although Xuanwu Marquis kills people like chopping vegetables,

and kills when she's not pleased

however, brother you are her husband in the end,

after she joined the family, she will, i think, change her angry and violent personality

follow the codes of female, and learn how to become a wife and daughter-in-law.

brother, if you think it is alright, you marry her.

your highness, Yujin, your highness

what are your crying for, attending a funeral?

your highness

popo

your highenss

your highness, the living yama is coming

what shall we do?

what are you crying for?

stop crying or I will divorce you

your highness, please divorce Meiniang

then, at least you will leave me a complete body

I heard that female demon

she drinks blood, she is the living yama, your highness

Meiniang, didn't you told me that you only needed my love?

and you will serve your new master, my wife, very well.

your highness, it was all my fault that I seduced you

it was all my fault.

your highness, please divorce me since I have served you since I was little.

you can just sell me, or marry me to the ugly Wang Er next door

you! your highness, please

your highness, please divorce Xuan'er first

Xuan'er, have you ever said that you would live with me sharing happiness and sorrow together, and even death would not apart us?!

I am just a slut, shameless

please beat me and drag me out and sell me

anywhere you wish

If i offended the new master, if she wants to skin me, she will do it herself.

your highness, please save us. your highness

you ungrateful bit**es

get out!

your highness!

please save us!

alright, you are not leaving

you are not leaving, I will

your highness!!

what shall we do?

the Prine jumped into the river!!

please come and help!

your highness!

my son! Popo!1

Popo!

move, move, excuse me, excuse me! get out of my way.

what are you doing!

excuse me, move, get out of my way

hey, why isn't she here yet?

don't know, why...

Listen, sounds of horse steps

dramatic close shoots... please expect some loooong walking scenes.

yes, they are still walking...

eventually you are going to seen them talk again... what a long walking scene...

here it comes!

Your highness

please stand up my dearest minister

thank you your highness

your highness

in the Ba County battle, I captured the Crown Prince of Western Xia and the 2nd brother of the Emperor of Western Xia

they shall be waiting for your decisions, your highness

imprison them in the celestial prison, I will see them and integrate them shortly

yes, your highness

Liao has been invading countries and tribes,

they once slaughtered Haiyi Country who produces treasures

in this battle

I have seized 20 trunks of treasures

they have been registered to national treasury

13 of your Ye's family member sacrifised themselves for our Great Song country

your father and 2 of your brothers

all died in battles in the frontier

it upsets and hurts me every time I think of them

i know your highness you are kind and always govern the country with benevolent moral integrity

I beg you look after your health, and do not feel sad

my deceased father would certainly be most pleased

if he knew about today

you had such a great achievement

i shall therefore reward you

Jiang Luhai

Announce

as stated in the edict of the Emperor blessed by the GOD

His Majesties rewards Ye Zhao the Zhenbei General,

one steel token granted by the Emperor (usually can be used to pardon someone's life once)

One dark steel whip inherited from Taizu (the founder and 1st emperor of that specific dynasty)

and a marriage with Nanping Prince, Zhao Yujin

Minister Ye

in the end of the day, you are still a female

and you will get married

this marriage is specifically appointed and picked by the Empress Dowager herself

Minister Ye

is it that you are not satisfied with this marriage arrangement?

NO your highness

I, highly appreciate your arrangement, thank you very much

father

my two brothers

dozens of Ye's ancestors

I, Ye Zhao, am back

to all my ancestors and family members

I have been impiety

Yelv Dadan is the irreconcilable enemy of ur counry and of our family

Now

chopped off his head

and serve it here to pay homage to your spirits

From now on

We shall defense my country from enemies with our lifes

and will never give up

your highness

send more people and lock Zhao Yujin up

this bastard kid will do anything

Tell him,

he will be committing the crime of withholding truth from the Emperor if he escape this wedding

yes

otherwise, if the Empress Dowagers is angry

YOU will marry Ye Zhao

I am afraid your highness.

I will guard Zhao's residence immediately, and no fly will escape

Prince, your highness

you have not had anything to eat for 2 days

you should at least eat something

NO

I am on a hunger strike

it it useless to go on a hunger strike

this royal marriage is arranged by the Emperor himself

you'd better have something to eat

NO, I am not eating

well, if you are sure that you are not eating, shall i leave you alone?

Xiao Xiazi

yes, I am here, your highness, anything i can do for you

come here

yes, your highness

you say it, you say it!

hurry up, say it

what are you two whispering and waiting for?

say it or forget about it

alright, then i will say it, but please don't be mad

go ahead

last night, Qiu Hua and I were hungry and went to the kitchen to find food

we heard two of the cook ladies taking about the Prince

they said the Prince is ignorant play boy, and always play around doing nonsense activities

he takes part in cockfight, dogfight, and cricket fight , plays with cat, birds and aces

they also said he is a frequent customer in whorehouses.

he is a well known and true man-about-town, useless and wasted man

yep!

there was once he was drugged by human trafficker because of a metal mask from the Wesern Zhou dynasty

there's more, he even refuse to pay for female entertainers performed

and was kicked out of the whorehouse

is he good looking?

yes

then that's alright

you can't feed on good looking

that's useless

true!

What's the Empress Dowager thinking to marry our general to such a man-about-town?

the key point it, look at our general

she looks quite happy though

Do I ?

in my pinion, see

it is my luck that the Empress Dowager appointed me a good looking husband

if it is a ugly one, just like your dad's type

looks older than his age

i will sure be more unfortunate, isn't it?

true

right??~

however, don't general you want to marry someone that you like , and he likes you?

Like me, and I like him?

where is he?

can you find him please?

Qiu Shui, it seems yo know quite a lot

feeling naughty?

have you got someone you like?

what are you talking about, general~

what i mean is,

you are pushing it too much

slowly, take your time

maybe the one that suits you

will soon appear

you don't have to be so rush

right, right

i think, it is the empress dowager that fears you being alone

so, therefore, she appointed you a husband.

exactly

well, to be honest,

like you have a hot temper, you may be fighting constantly after marriage

exactly! you shall marry someone we know

i think

you have loosened what you've learnt in the military camp since you come back

the core of marshal arts is be consistent and conentrate

you heard me?

general

sister-in-law

you are getting married soon

your dowry

you should pay more attentions to it as well

go, go , go

yes

sister-in-law, it is unnecessary...

three Princes, your highness!

Xiao Xiazi!

this is from our Prince to you

hurry up!

my brothers!

you see the letter as you see me

I am crying my eyes out

here 100 words are omitted, or 200, or 300

my brothers

PLEASE help me to escape from this prison

otherwise, until this time next year

you and me will be parted by death

if you don't come to rescue me quickly

i can only turn into a malicious ghost

and enjoy drinks with my brothers

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

please remember!

general, here is only 2 weeks left before you get married.

only 2 weeks ish before I get married?

what types of dowry do you want?

i will order servants to purchase and prepare

well, just bring some of my commonly used weapons over shall be alright

how about your dowry?

isn't it just about entering the bridal chamber? (aka. having sex)

what dowry do i need?

getting married is a huge issue

if there is no dowry

not to mention other people, solely talking about the Empress Dowager and the Empress,

how are you going to react to them?

you have to make them feel being respected

therefore, your dowry is necessary and should be well prepared

make sense

then just prepare in accordance with other Prince, Ministers' rules

and prepare some then

you didn't know since you have been fighting in battles recent years

the amount of dowry a girl brings to husband's house,

is closely related to the daily expenditure in your mother-in-law's house

the more dowry you have, the more respects you will receive

as will your treatment and life standard rise.

nowadays, girls in the city brings more and more dowry when they get married

just a few days ago, the elder daughter of Shang General of valiant cavalry got married

she brought 12 trunks of Jewellery and cloth,

not to mention about her 300mu land, and furnitures and cash she brought

the, just put some together

ask some of our friends in the imperial government, borrow some from them

we will return them when wedding ceremony is done

borrow dowry?

your marriage is appointed by the Empress Dowager

it should to be a grand wedding

I have prepared some jewellerys

you come and pick some in your spare time

sister-in-law, you make the decisions

Me again?

General, it is your wedding, you should pick something you like

I am a F**king man, I don't have such time for picking those women things (jewelry)

a man?

a woman...

master, we have dressed our general up as you said

sister-in-law, I am done

it's ok

manner and deportment is important for any girl

all right

good, today, the first thing

let's start learning how to walk

walk?

okay

stop

why are you still walking like a man

stand there, start again

steady and slow down

slightly slouch yor chest

slouch?

lower down your eyes and brows

stop

this shall work

steady and slow

not bad, again

again

again?

flower arrangement, is a way for ladies to express their selves and spirits

and a good method to cultivate your temper and mood

through arranging the flowers tightly, or loosely

you are making a great piece in a tiny space

it is just like girls learning how to be wives

after you married into the Prince family

you should learn to serve our husband, mother in law and father in law

be a good mannered wife, filial daughter-in-law

arrange and manage your own little home in a good way

and make the family growing larger and better

that's enough, sister-in-law

it is actually very simple

simple?

show me

right

done

I name it “”impossible to escape“”

don't understand?

this stronghold has 5 gates

one whole on each side to represent the gates

I set the guards on the topest place

then the enemy can enter but will not be able to escape

I just have to guard these places

it will be impossible to escape

you call this flower arrangement?

is it to build a family?

you are still thinking about military strategies, constructing strongholds

flower arrangement, very simple

you put flowers into the vase, isn't it?

simple? what exactly are you thinking

do it again

say what does it mean

MEI YOU XIANG FA (sounds mean NO IDEA in Mandarin)

there are always thoughts and ideas behind flower arrangmeng

it can't just be there

this arrangement is called "mei you xiang fa"

look

plum blossom plus ideal

combine them, it will be plum blossom has ideas

general

yes, i am here

as a wife, you should know the way of being a wife

as mentioned in the codes of girls

you should be quiet, gentel, loyal, and tidy

you should have the sense of shame and should follow the laws

in other words, The three obediences and the four virtues

this book of codes for girls talked a lot of methods and ideals of being a wife.

you take your time and recite it

sister-in-law, the four virtues

there are so many rules and codes for solely the four virtues

it is too complicated

the 4 virtues includes woman's virtues, woman's words

woman's appearance, and woman's work

talking about the woman's virtues

i feel headache

it is getting worse

really

then i should talk about Flourishing （expanding the family first）

Flourishing, refers to both husband and wife be polite to each other, work together

enough

you are getting marriage very soon, you have to learn to be a woman

NO...

sister-in-law, have you ever thought about that

these three obediences and the four virtues are pure constrain and torture to women

placing women's virtues, appearance, words in the begining, what does that mean

it means no matter how good a woman is,

it weight less than their face, than their mouth

I, the Grand Marshal

a true man like me, I speak with my fist

"a true man" again

a woman

that's not the point

the point is, who the H*ll wrote all these to torture women?

that doesn't make any sense

sister-in-law, let me ask you

in the past, when my father fight with my mother

what did that mean

as a daughter-in-law, you fight with your mother-in-law

what does that mean again?

you also asked my brother to stand on his knees on a rubbing board (a board with bumps that women used to rub clothes against)

what was that about?

females in Ye's family, no one obeyed the three obediences and the four virtues

talking about sister-in-law as the mother

general you are the Grand Marshal

I, your sister-in-law, have little weight

my words won't count

I am sorry

sister-in-law

you are virtuous

then good look as a pretty flower, a superb fighter

please ignor me

I recite, I recite

recite for 100 times
