Episode 10

I've never seen Chang'an to be so lively.

I'm so excited about it. -Surprisingly, Your Highness...

...had never seen the Mid-Autumn market.

I grew up in the palace, not in Chang'an.

Men desire for gentle women. -That's right.

Don't ruin your brother's plan. -It's ridiculous!

Let me go! -Hold tightly.

I'm sorry, Prince of Wei.

Stop struggling.

Look! -Look!

It's the moon! -It's the moon!

It's so beautiful! -It's beautiful!

Xinyue, look!

Xinyue, there are 3 moons tonight.

They're very beautiful.

Let me go! -Tie tightly.

Let me go!

Get lost!

I'll not let you off easily if I catch you!

Prince of Wei, you should be happy since it's Mid-Autumn Festival.

That's right! Be happy. -Be happy.

Don't be so serious. -It's for your brother's own good.

Yes. -It's for his marriage.

Why did my brother befriend with two of you?

Chu Mo, let's go. We still have things to settle.

Let's go. -Okay. Sorry for this, Prince.

See you later.

Don't leave me here! What shall I do?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It looks so beautiful! -Yes!

Let's start now. -Sure.

Can it work?

Of course. It was made by Yun Ye.

Do it slowly. Don't misplace it. -Don't worry.

It looks good. -Yes.

Look! There are words on it!

Xinyue, I've prepared a song for you.

May I sing it to you?

This poem is good. -What's it about?

"I love Xinyue".

Isn't Chengqian too straightforward?

The song is lovely. Did you teach him that?

I've never heard it from you.

It's my fiancee Xiao Ran's favourite before she passed away.

She passed away?

I'm sorry to hear that.

It has been many years...

...but I still can't forget her.

How I hope this is just a dream.

When I wake up one day,...

...I would realise that she's always by my side.

This was found by our archaeological team.

It's called Jinxiang Jade. It's from the Tang Dynasty.

However, I don't understand why there is a diamond on it.

It looks good anyway, so I just took a photo of it...

...and custom-made it.

It's exclusive. -You're great.

Keep it for me.

Why did you give it to me? -You just keep it for me.

Take it as the token for our marriage in the future.

Isn't it too shabby?

How could you look down on it?

Please pray for me so that I could become rich.

If I become rich,...

...I would definitely break up with you.

How could you do that? I won't let you go by then.

Before I leave, let me ask a favour from you.

What's it?

Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran.

I think I can understand your feelings.

This is the toy...

...given by my mother when I was young.

After that, my mother passed away.

This is the only thing that she left for me.

Whenever I miss her...

...or when I'm sad,...

...I'll play with it.

To be honest, I've played it for many times,...

...but whenever I take it out,...

...I'll be able to stop missing my mother...

...and all those unhappy things.

Let me lend it to you. Give it a try.

The moon is so beautiful. Let's go and buy some food.

Get together!

Get together!

Get together! -Get together!

Get together!

Get together!

Chancellor Wei. -The song is terrible...

...and cheap!

It's a misunderstanding, Sir Wei. -Yes, Uncle Wei.

Shut up! Catch them!

Chancellor Wei, finally you're here!

Prince of Wei, what's going on?

It's none of my business.

Is it true? Without you,...

...how did the moon go up? Catch him, too!

Chancellor Wei.

This is my idea. It has nothing to do with them.

Your Highness, please have a look.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Love for you is as heavy as snow.

I got goose bumps when I was reading it. It's terrible.

Talking about romance in public...

...is so shameless.

What a shameless behaviour it is!

As the Crown Prince, you confessed in public!

Your Highness have put the royal family to shame!

Chancellor Wei, I..... -What are you trying to say?

Stop finding excuses. It's pointless.

Look at these things!

Look at two of you, too!

Instead of stopping His Highness from doing this,...

...two of you even lent him a hand!

After I'm done with His Highness,...

...I'll punish two of you!

Uncle Wei, we just joined for the fun.

Yes, we came for the fun.

Two of you didn't!

You instigated the Crown Prince and kidnapped me!

How dare you pretend?

Prince of Wei, it's wrong for you to say that. You're in this, too.

I can't lift the moon without you. -That's right!

If the moon wasn't risen, Uncle Wei wouldn't have found out.

Yes. -You're lying!

I'm not involved! -Prince of Wei,...

...a man should be brave to act and take the responsibility.

You..... -Stop it.

Chancellor Wei, I shall take full responsibility of it.

It'll put the royal family to shame if we settle here.

I hope that you can punish me after we return to the palace.

Fine. After returning to the palace,...

...Your Highness has to receive 30 strokes as the punishment.

Thank you, Chancellor Wei.

What's wrong, Chancellor Wei? -Princess.

Don't be courteous, Chancellor Wei.

May I know why Your Highness left the palace on your own?

I heard that Lady Xinyue has adopted a few orphans.

I'm touched and I'd like to do something for them.

So, I left the palace.

There is a stall nearby selling osmanthus cakes.

I think the children will like it.

Therefore, I bought some for Lady Xinyue to bring it back...

...and let the children enjoy the snacks.

Thank you, Your Highness.

You're welcome. -Uncle Wei,...

...the children are waiting for the osmanthus cake.

It's a night for reunion. Everyone means well, too.

Since it's settled now, please stop looking into it.

Is it?

Luckily, everything is fine. You should go back first.

Send my regards to Sir Lu.

Chancellor Wei, I shall go back to the palace with my sister.

Hold on.

Is there anything else, Chancellor Wei?

It's so lively today. Everyone is here...

...and Chancellor Wei joins the celebration, too.

It's wonderful!

If there is nothing else,...

...I shall make a move first. My grandma is waiting for me.

I shall take my leave. -Stop right there.

Baron Yun.

I knew there is something wrong with you.

Where did you come from?

Is it possible that...

...you fell from the sky?

You're crazy.

Your words are ridiculous.

Based on your words,...

...I shall say, "Good job."

Do you think I have no idea that it was your plan?

Am I right?

Was it fun?

Yes. -You spoilt it, right?

You want to run away when it's spoilt.

No way!

Send His Highness and Baron Yun to the palace.

Each of them has to receive 30 strokes as the punishment.

The same goes to the other three of them.

Yes!

No, I.....

Why did you catch me? -This way please, Your Highness.

Chancellor Wei! -Look at the moon.

Qian'er just wanted to show Anlan around Chang'an.

Young people like to have fun.

Please try to understand them, Your Majesty.

It's fine that the Princess is not mature. What makes you.....

Please punish me, father.

It's my fault. Since it's going to be Mid-Autumn Festival,...

...Chengqian thought I'd be lonely in the palace...

...and afraid that I would miss my hometown,...

...so he brought me out secretly for a walk.

Well, I can forget about that.

However, as the Crown Prince,...

...you even sang a love song in public!

How could you be influenced by others so easily?

Father, it's my fault.

Baron Yun didn't influence me.

You're still trying to defend him.

I know you well.

You're mature and steady since you were young.

That's not something which you'll do normally.

Baron Yun, is there anything that you would like to say?

Your Majesty, I always heard in my hometown that...

...our country is very open-minded...

...and our people are warm.

I thought that...

...it's our culture for men to confess love through songs.

Confess love through songs?

We have our own rules.

You're not afraid of the rules.

I think the punishment given by Wei Zheng is too light.

Father, I think Chancellor Wei is right.

I'll visit him tomorrow with mooncakes...

...to thank him for correcting my behaviour.

Forget it. Since it's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival,...

...I shall pardon you. However, you must remember that...

...if you get into trouble again, it won't be settled easily.

It's late now. You may take your leave.

Thank you, father. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

Remember to bring some mooncakes to the guesthouse.

Thank you for the reminder. I'll apologise to him tomorrow.

I shall take my leave.

Use songs to confess.

This brat.

Men desire for gentle women.

Although it's inappropriate for Qian'er to do that,...

...it reminds us that it's time for him to get married.

I've never expected him...

...to be in love with Lu Shou's granddaughter.

Yes.

However, if they get married,...

...it may help us...

...to solve the problem with Shandong...

...and grant Qian'er's wish.

Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

Of course I know that.

How sure are you that Qian'er is serious about it?

If he's not serious,...

...then we don't have to please those old folks.

It's not good for us...

...to please them.

I understand.

I'll find a chance to confirm Qian'er's will.

However, I heard that...

...Anlan was staying alone with Yang Ye last night.

Yang Ye is getting more daring these days.

I think Anlan is in love with Yun Ye.

Although Yun Ye is flighty, he's smart.

After training for a couple of years, he may be successful, too.

That brat.

If he doesn't have some achievements,...

...I won't allow him to marry Anlan.

By the way, he has a chance to amend his mistake tomorrow.

Are you talking about meeting father tomorrow?

I heard that Yun Ye is preparing...

...a new gizmo. It may be useful tomorrow.

My problem with father...

...can't be solved with a gizmo.

Er Lang, don't worry too much.

We'll deal with it together no matter what it is.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to father and mother.

May all your wishes come true.

Good. You may stand up.

Thank you, father and mother.

Have a seat.

Serve the mooncake.

Your Highness, please receive the reward.

Thank you, father and mother.

Baron Yun, have a mooncake, too.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Stop making troubles.

Have you prepared the thing that I told you?

No worries, Your Highness.

Tai'er, come and get a mooncake.

Father, I want to eat a mooncake, too.

You want it, too? You've grown up.

Mind your manners. -It's okay.

Father, mother,... -Here.

...Zhinu is young, please give it to him first.

You're more thoughtful now.

It's from your brother. -He loves you so much.

Is he Li Zhi?

Yes. Li Zhi is the next Emperor after Li Shimin.

What happened to Chengqian? -Lan'er.

Eat slowly. Be careful.

Thank you, father and mother.

Come and get the mooncake.

Are you feeling better? -I'm fine.

Have you solved...

...the thing that I gave you?

You even bring it along with you?

I want to give it back to you.

Don't you want to know how I solve it?

I solved it by trying once...

...and it's the gift from your mother.

Keep it properly. Don't give it to others easily.

Don't you get me?

Of course I get you but it's from your mother.

Therefore, you must keep it properly.

I won't take it back since I've given it to you.

Keep it first. If it's broken or lost,...

...you'll be responsible for that.

Sure.

It's good!

Greetings, father.

What did you say just now?

It should be very good!

It's very good!

Greetings, father. -Greetings, grandfather.

Father,... -Grandfather,...

...long live. -...long live.

Father, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone is having reunion with their family.

Thus, I bring the Empress, the Crown Prince...

...and Princess Anyang to visit you...

...and enjoy the family happiness.

Princess Anyang is here?

Stand up.

Thank you, father. -Thank you, grandfather.

Grandfather, I'm thankful to you for making me Eldest Princess...

...but I didn't manage to repay your kindness until now.

Since today is a festival, I've prepared some snacks...

...for you, grandfather. I hope you'll like it.

You made it yourself?

Serve it to me.

It's interesting.

Let me give it a try.

It's tasty.

It's interesting to have the warm snack...

...with cold milk.

All of you should give it a try.

What do you call this?

It's called Golden Dew Cake.

Golden Dew Cake?

What a good name!

The snack that the Princess made is bittersweet.

It's very delicious.

The snacks from the Royal Kitchen are not on a par with hers.

Thank you for the compliment. I'm not as good as them.

It's only some simple snacks taught by my mother.

"Tian Ruolan"

Guess who I am. -Who else can you be?

Put down your hands.

You always get it correctly. -Of course!

Do they know you're here?

No. I ask Jingde to lure the guards away.

You own the Royal Kitchen today.

It's good. You'll get to enjoy delicious food later.

This can't be eaten. It's syrup.

It's hot!

You're impatient.

Have a look. How is it?

How come I've never seen this? -Bring me a plate.

Don't touch it. It's only for you. It's Golden Dew Cake.

Golden Dew Cake?

Put some syrup.

Add some...

...osmanthus.

How is it? -It looks normal.

Give it a try.

Here.

Give it a try.

How is it?

It's ridiculous. It's..... -It's impossible.

It should be tasty. Let me give it a try.

Don't you think so?

Don't you think it tastes better than the chef's cooking?

You're so annoying. I got a shock.

It's delicious. -It is, right?

Even though it's delicious, you can't eat too much.

Let's eat together.

No. -Take one.

The dew has become the snow...

...and the woman is waiting sadly.

When my mother taught me this, she was drunk.

Therefore, it's bitter and not as sweet as the past.

Does it taste differently from the previous one, father?

The food of commoners is always interesting.

It's better than the food in the palace.

It only tastes sweet.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Emeritus.

Who are you?

You're not my kin. Why are you here?

Emperor Emeritus, I'm Baron Yun Ye from Lantian.

Although I'm not a member of the royal family,...

...everyone in the Tang Dynasty should be your grandchildren.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong for me to be here.

You're good in talking.

I have a present for you, Emperor Emeritus.

What's it? -It's mah-jong.

Is it a type of entertainment? -Yes.

How do we play it? -We need 4 players for this game.

3 bamboos. -I've won!

It's all of one suit.

No, let me have a look.

What's it? -Look properly.

You cheated. -No. Have a look.

Let me have a look.

3 bamboos. -This one?

It's not clear.

How could you mess the tiles? -It's too dark.

Light up the candles.

This round is not counted.

No! -Forget it.

Forget it.

Your Highness, you gave me the tile so you have to pay me.

I didn't. It's too dark. -I didn't see it clearly.

Let's forget it.

Why didn't I see that you've won? -Fine. Let's have another round.

Master, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Crown Prince knows that you're staying here this year,...

...so he told me to send you the gifts.

The Crown Prince is too courteous...

...but I did nothing to receive the gifts.

I don't deserve the gifts.

Although the gifts are sent by the Crown Prince,...

...the gifts are actually granted by His Majesty.

It shows the kindness of His Majesty to you.

Grandfather, I've seen the gifts.

His Majesty sent you some tea, mooncakes...

...and the letter from Wang Xizhi.

Grandfather, I heard that Wang Xizhi is his favourite...

...but His Majesty sent it to you as a gift.

If you reject his kindness.....

Since that's the case, I shall just accept the gift.

Thank you for understanding.

I've won!

You cheated again. -No, I didn't.

Let me have a look. -Hold on.

Let me have a look. -Hold on.

Stop. Let me have a look. -Can you see it?

Here. 3, 4, 5. 7, 8, 9. 1, 2 3.

Stop moving! -It's true! Have a look!

Don't touch them!

Stop it. Pay me now.

You have to admit the defeat.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness.

Emperor Emeritus.

You.....

Thank you, Emperor Emeritus.

I don't want the gold...

...but I want something else.

What do you want?

I want that pot.

That one? -No, it's that one.

You want that? -Yes.

Stop talking nonsense. -That's my chamber.....

You have no idea. As long as it's your belonging,...

...it's going to be priceless in the future.

Fine.

Since you like it, I'll give it to you.

Alright. Thank you, Emperor Emeritus.

Let's continue.

You even want a chamber pot.

Forget it. Let my granddaughter play for a while.

Come. -Yes.

You should play then.

Master, His Majesty has pardoned Physician Wang.

It shows the respect of the royal family to Shandong tribe.

I'm wondering whether you would like to change your mind.

Indeed, I would like to enter the palace...

...and ask for guidance from the Empress.

Master, you're too humble. The Crown Prince...

...mentioned your talent to the Empress...

...and she admires your talent.

She's looking forward to asking for your guidance.

Yue'er, what are you laughing about?

Tutor mentioned the Crown Prince just now.

I thought of the interesting things about His Highness.

The Crown Prince is still young. Please forgive him.

Did you meet the Crown Prince recently?

I met him before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Is the Crown Prince feeling better now?

Thank you for your concern. The Crown Prince has recovered.

Was the Crown Prince sick?

No worries, grandfather.

The Crown Prince pretended as the commoner and joined the fun.

However, Uncle Wei was there to guard the city gate...

...and felt that his behaviour was inappropriate.

Therefore, he punished the Crown Prince.

Are you talking about Wei Zheng?

Tell me now.

Master, this is how it goes.

Wei Zheng punished the Crown Prince in public...

...without sparing a thought for him.

Luckily, His Majesty is wise and didn't pursue the matter.

How could the Chancellor guard the city gate?

It's ridiculous! Explain it to me now!

Well..... -Tell me!

Well..... -Tell me!

8 characters.

8 characters.

Give it away. -7 bamboos.

4 dots.

I'm going to win big this time.

Continue.

Hurry. I'm going to win.

Father, I'm going to win, too.

You're going to win?

You won't win. I know your tiles.

You're having 3, 3, 3 and 1.

You're lacking a tile. It's not easy for you to win.

Give it away. -Father, you're very smart.

You made a right guess.

Father, I'm sure you can't win with this tile.

I...

...can't win.

I've won!

Look!

It's 13 terminal tiles.

You have to pay me double.

It's great!

Pay me now. -Hurry.

Pay me now. -Hurry.

Pay me. -Grandfather.

Thank you for the money.

Let's shuffle. -Let's shuffle.

The mah-jong is very interesting.

It's true, Qian'er.

When arranging the tiles,...

...we have to be alert...

...and plan them well.

It's similar to ruling the country.

Father has a great improvement in mah-jong.

Father is very familiar...

...with mah-jong now.

Qian'er, you're the Crown Prince now,...

...and will be the Emperor in the future.

Although your father lost in mah-jong,...

...he's good in ruling the country.

You must learn from him.

Grandfather is right. I'll bear it in mind.

Yun Ye. -Yes.

I have a task for you. Make a few more sets of mah-jong.

How about the cost? -Is the cost important?

It's your pleasure to help grandfather. Thank him now.

You like to collect chamber pots, right?

Grandfather can give you a few more.

If not, I can give you mine, too.

Me, too.

Is it enough? -Yes.
