Oh My General

20

Ye Zhao! After I'm done exchanging three hundred moves with you,

21

I'll behead you and make my younger sister happy.

22

Ye Zhao, a woman like you should serve me.

23

I must obtain you to serve me.

24

I'm warning you, Huli. In the future, watch what you say to my husband.

25

- That will be for the best.

- What a great sanctimonious and villainous partner!

26

Ye Zhao, you can continue to be unrestrained and do those illicit affairs with your subordinate! It's unclear what you have done with Huli!

27

I just like to bully you. Let's see what you can do.

28

Episode 11

29

Huli, listen to me.

30

I've thought about it.

31

When the envoy passes through Xuanwu Street, it will be our army that will handle the protection duty.

32

No. Starting from Shuntian Road, you already must send men to guard their route.

33

If needed, you can send some soldiers disguised as ordinary citizens.

34

Oh no, they can also disguise themselves as officers of the Patrol Office.

35

Every two to three hundred paces, you'll find a patrol station.

36

Inside it, there will be a patrol officer.

37

In the morning, their task is to maintain orderly transportation and facilitate the movement of people and carriages.

38

At night, they are tasked to guard the houses of officials and businessmen, to guard against fire and thieves.

39

That will be for the best.

40

What a great sanctimonious and villainous partner!

41

Auspicious Response of Gathering Books

42

My man seems to be casting me flirtatious looks.

43

That's right.

44

All our past misgivings seem to have disappeared.

45

Time is the best lubricant. He must have come round.

46

Don't hit a smiling person. Although I have a lot of grudges against her,

47

it's inconvenient to get mad here.

48

Junwang! Junwang!

49

Junwang, please wait. Why don't you wait for the General so you can leave together?

50

Not anymore. I'll go back first.

51

Why did he run away?

52

I'm guessing that he is just shy.

53

It's fine to be mischievous. But when he does that,

54

he's so adorable. It would be better if I could kiss him.

55

Especially those eyes when he is in shock and does not know what to do.

56

It's so similar to a white leopard during a hunt.

57

General, your progress is too rapid. It's very easy to scare away your prey like that.

58

Guard against the prey doing a counterattack and hurting the hunter.

59

Right. Use a bait to slowly catch him.

60

Slowly plot it to obtain satisfaction later.

61

Junwang's self-confidence is too strong. In your interaction with him,

62

you mustn't be too overbearing. The two parties must be both willing for it to work.

63

The love battlefield is unlike that of wars. Unexpected situations can happen anytime.

64

The General should still control the general situation and adjust your plans accordingly.

65

I actually planned to dally with him when I go home today.

66

Looks like I can't be too rash, right?

67

I suggest that you reset your moves first.

68

Military Strategist, you said it right. I must foster again my relationship with him.

69

Before, when rich men or rascals took liberties with me,

70

I found it disgusting.

71

But...

72

but when it's my wife,

73

how come I didn't find her kiss disgusting at all?

74

Instead, it has a sweet and fragrant scent with it.

75

It makes one feel warm and exciting.

76

Facing her unrestrained actions,

77

I actually had a bit of drunken feeling and a bit of addiction.

78

But I must not let her keep acting like a rascal.

79

Yujin, do you feel unwell? Is that why you're lying down on your bed in broad daylight?

80

It's none of your business if I feel unwell or not.

81

Why are you being so fierce?

82

Even if we only met by chance, since we're living under the same roof,

83

if one sees the other person not feeling well, he should still ask about it.

84

Yujin.

85

Zhao Yujin.

86

Zhao clan person!

87

Is there any end of it with you?

88

Other than teasing me every day, what else can you do?

89

Can't you just look for your brothers and play with them? And that military strategist Hu Qing of yours,

90

look for him to idle your boredom away. Is that okay?

91

How come you are so unappreciative! I was concerned about you,

92

yet you are here pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. (T/N: ignorant but assume they are all-knowing)

93

What do you mean by that!

94

Do you think that tormenting is fun? If you really don't have feelings for me,

95

why then were you secretly looking at me at the reception pavilion of the Ministry of Rites?

96

You were secretly giving me seductive gazes and throwing me flirtatious looks. What did you mean by those?

97

Who was giving you seductive gazes and what flirtatious looks?

98

Sister, do you have a delusional disorder?

99

You...

100

Hateful white leopard...

101

Ye woman! I'm your husband and not your prey!

102

Disregarding the power of one's husband.

103

Old Boss Yang, have you swept Xuanwu Street and Shuntian Road?

104

We already have.

105

Replying to Lord Censor, we've swept the streets from north, south, east, and west.

106

How many times did you sweep them?

107

Lord, we swept them once in the morning, than another time at noon.

108

You just swept twice? That's called profaning your job!

109

Do you give any importance to me as the City Patrol Censor or to the Emperor?

110

Starting today, sweep five times every day!

111

Yes, Lord.

112

Why are you all just standing here? Let's go and sweep the streets.

113

This Junwang can really torment people. If this continues,

114

I fear that we will be overly exhausted after welcoming these envoys.

115

May Bodhisattva bless us. Hurry and let His Majesty remove him from office.

116

Indeed. Let him go home and eat his wife's fists! (T/N: get punched)

117

What nonsense are you spouting? You say something?

118

- Hurry and go to work.

- Let's go...

119

I'm telling you, Qiu Laohu,

120

you also saw it earlier. Is something wrong with the General?

121

I also feel that something's wrong.

122

Looking at the General's expression, there must be someone that angered her.

123

Who is that bold to anger our General?

124

Who else?

125

Probably that beautiful Junwang.

126

Most likely, they had a fight.

127

Hey, in my opinion, the General can lead the army to war.

128

She doesn't look like a person that will quarrel with others.

129

That's right.

130

No. I feel that

131

since the Junwang got married,

132

he kept avoiding the General.

133

Look. It has now caused a great scandal in the whole capital.

134

It might be because Junwang won't submit to the General, hence, she's getting depressed about it.

135

- That's his mistake then.

- What should we do?

136

Laohu, hurry and think of a way.

137

Aren't you and the Junwang close? Go and urge him.

138

I'm going to urge him? What will I use to urge him? Use this?

139

- I'm going to urge him?

- Fine. Do you know anything else?

140

It's as if you don't know how weak his body is. Just a few of these and he's gone.

141

- Indeed.

- Tell him that

142

since he has become our General's husband,

143

he should have some spirit of dedication.

144

Stop always going against our General. Am I right?

145

Indeed.

146

But this is a private matter between a married couple. How are we going urge him?

147

General Qiu, to help make the military camp peaceful,

148

for us to stop seeing the General scowling...

149

Is it reliable for me to talk with him?

150

- It is.

- It is!

151

Think about it. The Military Strategist has already offended the Junwang.

152

It is surely inappropriate to send him.

153

At this critical moment, if you don't go, who will?

154

That's right.

155

My dear General Qiu...

156

You have traveled through the north, south, east, and west and have such high prestige.

157

If you do it this time, it will surely work. If it's us, it surely will fail.

158

Right...

159

Okay. For the harmony of the General's family and a blissful marriage,

160

I am risking my reputation.

161

But you must not let the General know.

162

- Don't worry.

- Don't worry that.

163

- Wait for my good news.

- Okay.

164

We'll wait for your good news.

165

Junwang, we're waiting for you to do the patrol.

166

I know already. Just go out and wait for me.

167

Okay.

168

Junwang, you're going on patrol?

169

Why are you here?

170

I came to see if you need any help.

171

- I don't need any help.

- You do. You surely do.

172

Junwang, you are a busy man. I won't beat around the bush anymore.

173

Be more straightforward. Is it an official matter or personal matter?

174

If it's an official matter, it wouldn't be me discussing it with you.

175

Let's talk about some personal matters.

176

Are you and our General having communications problems lately?

177

No such thing.

178

Junwang, stop pretending.

179

The General keeps scowling all day. Even we don't want to see it.

180

If not because you angered her, others won't dare to.

181

Has she always shown a smiling face?

182

No, but what did the General do to you?

183

No, what has happened between you two?

184

She repeatedly committed it and won't change her ways despite repeated teachings.

185

She repeatedly offended you and won't change her donkey-like attitude, am I right? (T/N: stubborn)

186

Not only offending.

187

Let me ask you this. If your wife compels you do things that you don't want to do,

188

what would you do?

189

It depends on what she wants me to do.

190

What if it's a sleeping matter? (T/N: intimate, sexual)

191

Sleeping? That's a good thing.

192

If my wife wants to sleep with me, I surely would be happy.

193

Junwang, I feel that you should just hurry and submit to the General.

194

Submit to her!

195

How could a man just allow people to capture him and be a woman's prey? A warrior can be killed but not humiliated.

196

Junwang, you're in the wrong here.

197

Your wife just wants to sleep with you. Why must you talk about death or humiliation?

198

Moreover, you married her, so you two should be sleeping in the same bed.

199

If they don't sleep on the same bed, what's that called?

200

Unacceptable by heaven's laws. Wasting natural resources recklessly.

201

Returning to the subject of discussion,

202

as for how you two will sleep,

203

what method you use to sleep, I feel that part can be discussed.

204

Forget it.

205

Your and my situation are so different.

206

You will never be able to understand the awkwardness in my heart.

207

Then... Hey... This...

208

This is awkward?

209

What's awkward about it?

210

Say, I really like this trait of our General.

211

Brave, mighty, and talented.

212

Even when sleeping with her husband, she's showing shocking force!

213

Exciting. So exciting.

214

You're full of it!

215

Old General Hu, how was it? Did it work?

216

What did the Junwang say?

217

This matter is hard.

218

Towards the Junwang, the General is

219

acting like she fought her past battles, she's taking him by force.

220

How about we just let the General appear like a woman and seduce him?

221

That won't work. You can tell the General to kill people,

222

but to seduce a man? With her attitude, she might go crazy.

223

- Tell me then...

- Enough. Enough.

224

Enough. Stop giving out useless ideas.

225

The General using her strength to oppress the weak isn't wrong, but she can't rush it.

226

She repeatedly challenged the Junwang's limit.

227

When he gets angry, he naturally will guard against her.

228

You all indeed must guard it well.

229

Set up all the designated watch stations. The greatest matter now

230

is to welcome the coming of the Western Xia envoys.

231

What were you all mumbling about there?

232

Replying to General, we were discussing about the security during Prince Yinuo's visit.

233

You're so proactive in your work.

234

But earlier, didn't we hear someone talking about

235

how to go to the Junwang to be a mediator?

236

You heard it all?

237

This room isn't that big.

238

With your voices, anyone can hear it from afar.

239

Say it. What did he think?

240

The Junwang is currently in a bad mood.

241

He feels that you're moving too fiercely towards him.

242

You're excessively forward and that is making him feel awkward.

243

Awkward?

244

Huli. What does "awkward" mean?

245

The feeling of something awkward includes being resentful,

246

depressed, aggrieved, losing face, and anxious.

247

Which scholar created such a damn term?

248

Why must it encompass so many meanings? Can I understand that?

249

Yes... Then General, since you two have major military matters to discuss,

250

we will go heighten the security now.

251

Go...

252

He's feeling awkward...

253

Aggrieved?

254

Resentful. He even feels aggrieved?

255

General, are you giving up?

256

No.

257

But this white leopard is harder than mobilizing an army and fighting in battles.

258

The art of war is a crafty, technical skill. Sometimes even if you clearly can defeat an enemy, you must act weak.

259

- Even if you plan to dispatch your army, you must act that you're not prepared to fight.

- I don't want to hear it.

260

You think I can understand what you're saying?

261

These troop formation and mobilization tactics of yours...

262

won't work on Zhao Yujin.

263

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com

264

Ah Zhao's waist...

265

- It's about—

- Husband!

266

Husband! Husband!

267

I have a very profound question to ask you.

268

A woman's morality doesn't require her to have any special abilities.

269

Her speech need not be eloquent nor have a glib tongue.

270

Her face need not be of beautiful coloring.

271

In her crafts, she doesn't need to be outstanding.

272

What does this all mean, Husband?

273

How come you're suddenly interested in the "Examples for Women" today?

274

These past two days I have been idle.

275

I suddenly realized that this book is very profound and very useful to me.

276

But I just met some areas I don't understand, so I came to ask you.

277

Don't you have a military strategist that's well-versed in knowledge and fighting skills by your side?

278

You can ask him to explain them to you.

279

You two have shared blessings and experienced sufferings together. He even wrote a divorce letter for you last time.

280

I think that soon you'll be raising the tray to eyebrow level and consummating your marriage. (T/N: mutual respect)

281

Husband, you're my husband.

282

Don't I look for you first when I encounter any problem?

283

Isn't this so? Help me.

284

Tell me. Which part do you not understand?

285

This one.

286

What this part says is that a woman should have four virtues,

287

morality, proper speech, modest manner and diligent work.

288

In terms of morality, she doesn't need to be very smart to learn it. For proper speech, she doesn't need to be eloquent.

289

For manner, it says that a woman shouldn't doll herself up in a gorgeous manner.

290

Her skills in female crafts need not be very outstanding.

291

Husband, do you feel that these words were totally written for me?

292

Look. I'm not intelligent and don't know how to speak properly.

293

Next, I'm not really that beautiful.

294

Regarding embroidery or other crafts, I don't know any of them. These words were really written well.

295

It's totally my inner voice, right?

296

Hey, look closely. There's another line after that.

297

"Diligently follow the right moral principles. Be gentle, refined, and chaste. One must know to be ashamed."

298

Look. Does this talk about you?

299

Even if it's not me, it's fine. As long as you don't dislike me, I'm fine with it.

300

Husband, I must explain things to you. I didn't want to anger you that day.

301

Huli and I are really good brothers, nothing else.

302

Don't explain to me. It's not my business whatever relationship you have with him.

303

It's just that men and women are different.

304

I was a crude man fighting wars before. I only became a woman after marrying you.

305

You were a woman from the start.

306

It's just that on the outside, you looked like a paper tiger. (T/N: looked strong and cruel)

307

You said it right.

308

How is your neck?

309

It's fine, fine. This is much milder than my wounds during the war.

310

Husband, you can use more force next time.

311

How can you compare now with then? Before, you were forced to go onto the battlefield.

312

Starting today, you must remember that you're a woman.

313

I remember... Now, I tend to just recall the words from "Examples for Women" out of nowhere,

314

to warn myself.

315

That's more like it. You have made some improvements.

316

Of course. My standard for myself is getting higher.

317

Okay then. As a woman, you should remember

318

the four virtues: morality, proper speech, proper manner of conduct, and diligent work.

319

Tonight let's strike while the iron is hot. Read this fifty times.

320

I'll explain every word and line for you, so that you won't disobey me again next time.

321

Husband, I almost forgot. His Majesty said that the generals must be on duty today.

322

Let's talk about studying the book another day, another day, have to go!

323

Dongjing News! Dongjing News!

324

Buy one and take a look! The Western Xia Prince Yinuo will be coming to visit!

325

Let's look at the "devouring meat and fowl" appearance of this famously-cruel Western Xia prince.

326

You're not in the Censor Office supervising matters there

327

but have idle time to drink tea here?

328

I already told Old Boss Yang to handle them.

329

Hey, what are you doing here?

330

The guards for the Western Xia envoys will be coming from my camp.

331

I must supervise if these rascals are doing their job seriously.

332

This newspaper even has Yinuo's portrait?

333

I heard that this Western Xia prince habitually kills and is a very violent person.

334

That's right. He loves fighting and achieving accomplishments for himself. He likes using brute force.

335

I heard that he killed a wolf by himself when he was eight, killed his uncle when he was twelve,

336

joined his tribe's wars by age fifteen and established grand achievements.

337

He lost his mother when he was little and had a bad relationship with his stepmother.

338

When he became an adult, he massacred his stepmother and her whole family.

339

He's famous for his violent actions,

340

but the Emperor of Western Xia likes him a lot.

341

A beast...

342

The Western Xia Emperor has changed his Empress numerous times.

343

The one heading the royal harem now is Empress Yeli.

344

Empress Yeli has one son named Prince Haerdun.

345

Under the active campaign of the Yeli clan and the Empress, he got named the crown prince.

346

Prince Yinuo was born by the past wife of the Western Xia Emperor.

347

He has a good reputation in the military. In terms of connections, experience, and military achievements,

348

Crown Prince Haerdun currently can't compare with him.

349

Look. This Prince Yinuo looks awe-inspiring,

350

glowing with health and vigor, his eyes bright and full of expression, and aggressive, to be sure.

351

He is indeed a man among men.

352

That body, that look, that bearing. He's really a real man.

353

If I can be as strong and healthy as he is, I surely will capture my damn wife and dally with her.

354

Sister, from now on, you must follow my every word.

355

I'm a man that can support both heaven and earth.

356

I am your most reliable spring.

357

Husband, I am willing to serve my husband forever.

358

You can command me to do whatever you want.

359

Husband, you are my sky and my earth.

360

My lifetime master.

361

"One's husband as one's sky" has a profound meaning.

362

A husband being strong, while the wife is gentle, should be the main topic.

363

If your husband is angry, you must not get mad, too.

364

I won't be like a shrew and frequently argue with you.

365

I will serve you usual food and drinks and be eagerly attentive to you.

366

That would be great.

367

Hey, what are you doing?

368

Nothing.

369

What's making you so happy? Share it with me.

370

This Prince Yinuo has a big body and is strong.

371

When he stands, he looks like bronze tripod or cauldron.

372

Anyone who sees him will a bit scared of him. Just one look and you know that he's a person that can kill.

373

Don't even talk about the women.

374

Whoever falls into his hands, wouldn't she just obediently submit to him?

375

Maybe. He and I are old acquaintances.

376

Old acquaintances? You know him?

377

I do. He's just someone I defeated.

378

Husband, go home first. I'll look for you once I'm done with military affairs.

379

I'm going now.

380

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com

381

Loathsome old woman, if I captured you, I'd eat you alive!

382

Junwang.

383

Junwang, His Majesty has invited the Western Xia envoys to a banquet tonight.

384

A lot of officials and officers will be going. Will you go?

385

Not going.

386

Although the position of a City Patrol Censor is a bit low,

387

being a Nanping Junwang is of high prestige. You are also among the ones given an invitation.

388

Those Imperial dishes of His Majesty are just repetitive. I'm already sick of eating them.

389

Must I appear with that Ye woman?

390

I surely will get pointed at and asked a lot of questions by them.

391

Everyone will just be watching me to embarrass myself. I'm not going.

392

This visit by the Western Xia envoys

393

is the greatest foreign affairs event in our empire for this year.

394

The Emperor has invited the elite of different fields

395

and government officials and officers. With such a grand event,

396

if you don't go,

397

won't the banquet be so grim and lifeless?

398

I keep getting blows to my ego from that Ye woman lately and am depressed about it.

399

I don't want to attend any activity with her.

400

But you and the General are a family after all.

401

Just pretend in front of those foreign envoys and look sweet.

402

It can also add some favorable points with His Majesty.

403

Let's just talk about this next time.

404

Junwang, the General said that you also received His Majesty's invitation.

405

Are you attending tonight's party then?

406

I'm not interested. Not going.

407

Oh, the General also said that she and that Prince Yinuo

408

fought on the battlefield before. They can be considered old acquaintances.

409

When they meet up, it can't be helped that they would have a few drinks.

410

Have a few drinks? What if she gets drunk and takes wild actions?

411

This... we can't be sure of that.

412

This woman acts so unrestrained. If she gets drunk, won't she go crazy?

413

Junwang, I've already relayed the words.

414

If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.

415

Junwang, listen to that. You must think about this well.

416

Leave...

417

Junwang.

418

- Concubine Yang,

- Meiniang,

- Xuan'er,

419

are all here to serve you.

420

What are you three doing?

421

One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.

422

And you. What does it mean to embroider leaves on your handkerchief?

423

Are you trying to win the favor of your Madam?

424

No, no, Your Highness. This is the latest style this year.

425

It's called "one eye covered with leaves, so can't see Taishan." (T/N: half-blind, fail to recognize VIP)

426

"One eye covered with leaves?"

427

I think you three are under her smokescreen of magic.

428

Do you three still give any importance to me?

429

Isn't donkey-hide gelatin soup for women? Why did you make me one?

430

Oh, that one was originally for Ge—

431

To liven up your blood and dispel the clots.

432

You three also know that I'm livid to the point that my heart and circulation aren't working normally?

433

Yes.

434

Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty has organized a banquet and wants our General

435

to accompany that Western Xia Prince.

436

You two mustn't make up things.

437

Junwang is a magnanimous person. Why would he be angry

438

just because his wife will have a few drinks with another man?

439

Have you heard that this Western Xia Prince

440

is tall and handsome. Also, his body is very good.

441

- Really?

- He and the General are old acquaintances, too.

442

When old friends meet, they should at least drink a little, right?

443

Also, the palace is brightly lit and there are a lot of guests. The General is also very straightforward and hospitable.

444

After drinking with one thing leading to the next, in between the changing of the cups, will they...

445

Will they...

446

- Will they...

- Will they what?

447

Will they talk about past things, put their arms around each other's shoulders, even...

448

Probably not.

449

That woman can't be this wanton, right?

450

How is it not possible?

451

The General has done a lot of trifling matters in broad daylight.

452

Indeed.

453

If I don't go, my wife will be hanging upon

454

and drinking with another man.

455

Then how would it not be my fault if I become a green-headed tortoise? (T/N: cuckold, green for jealousy)

456

Junwang, I feel that you must not get taken advantage of if you're a man.

457

Yes.

458

Fine then. If this woman will be hugging and drinking with another man during the banquet,

459

what will be lost is my reputation.

460

Okay. Immediately prepare an outfit for me. I'm going to personally go.

461

Yes.

462

General, the Junwang also knows

463

that one must wear precious official clothing in attending a palace banquet.

464

But he feels ashamed for having such a low official position.

465

No matter what, he refuses to wear green. (T/N: low rank and the whole "cuckold" thing...)

466

So he selected a purple Junwang robe, with a round embroidered design and a golden belt with a groove to hang jade from.

467

Pairing that with a golden hair ornament. He really looked pretty and respectable.

468

General, technically speaking, the wife should follow the husband.

469

You should wear a dress that's compatible with the Junwang's.

470

Wear flower hair pins and a formal dress.

471

I'm going to wear women's clothing?

472

I fear that people might laugh.

473

Let's ask Yujin about this first.

474

Come.

475

- How about it?

- It looks good.

476

Your Highness! Your Highness!

477

Your Highness, the General asked me to relay a few words to you.

478

The General said that although her usual walking stride is a bit long,

479

that her actions are a bit vulgar,

480

but she will completely listen to you about the clothes to wear for tonight's banquet.

481

She'll wear whatever you tell her to wear.

482

Even if you get her to wear the dress of the wife of a Junwang, she won't find it shameful.

483

Even if she wouldn't find it shameful, I would.

484

Those gaudy women's outfits don't fit her figure.

485

Tell her to not make it difficult for herself. She can just wear whatever she wants.

486

- Okay.

- Wait!

487

Your Highness.

488

This banquet is a bit important.

489

Her clothing style must be compatible with mine.

490

How about this? I'll alter the jacket of my other official outfit later,

491

and then change it to a simpler pattern.

492

If the wife wears it, she will surely look as in good taste.

493

Okay. I'll go tell the General now.

494

Look. It's still our Junwang that has good taste.

495

With the General wearing this custom official's clothing,

496

you look even more heroic!

497

When you stand by the Junwang, you two will look like twin brothers!

498

What "twin brothers?" This is called "a luan and phoenix singing in chorus." (T/N: a happily-married couple)

499

Right... happily married couple, lively colors bringing forth fragrance, a crane standing among ducks.

500

Hey, Xuan'er. How come this dress feels so soft?

501

Wow! It's really so soft.

502

Concubine Yang, you touch it, too.

503

Sister, have you forgotten? Yesterday, Junwang gave instructions

504

that we must use the Jinfang fabric conditioner granted to us by His Majesty to preserve our clothes.

505

This way, when they attend banquets, they won't be out of trend.

506

Look at my memory. That's right. When our General's clothes

507

were washed with fabric conditioner last time, Junwang even praised it.

508

He said that not only have the clothes become softer, easily follow the form, and the colors became brighter,

509

they even emit a light fragrance.

510

He even instructed that General's clothes must always be washed with Jinfang to preserve the colors.

511

Xuan'er, let's soak our clothes with Jinfang, too!

512

Okay! Let's go!

513

Good...

514

A verse in the "Book of Songs" goes like this.

515

""You, you" the deer cry, feeding on (Chinese) mugwort on the open plain. (T/N: literary way to bleat like a deer)

516

I have honored guests, striking up the se, and blowing the sheng. (T/N: vertical harp, 5-25 strings, smaller than konghou; free-reed mouth organ)

517

In the third lunar month in Yangchun, all living things grow.

518

Today, we have envoys from Western Xia visiting our Dongjing.

519

Let us all raise our cups and celebrate together.

520

Hope that Western Xia and our Great Song

521

will have peace forever.

522

Today, let's celebrate and drink to your heart's content. Everyone need not be overly cautious.

523

Thank you, Emperor of Great Song, for treating us with great hospitality.

524

We're greatly honored. In here, I'm borrowing your wine as an offering

525

to Your Majesty, wishing you good luck and things going your way.

526

In this visit, my Royal Father especially instructed me to bring the treasure of our Western Xia

527

and gift it to Your Majesty.

528

Husband, what is it?

529

Helan ink-stone. (T/N: ink-stone for grinding and preparing ink, mined in the Helan Mountains)

530

What is that?

531

It's a form of ink-stone.

532

The Helan ink-stone I've seen is more exquisite than this one.

533

Yinuo wants to use a quality like that to fool Royal Uncle.
