"The Moon Will Remember" Singer: Guo Jing - Lyrics: Tang Tian - Melody: Wei Guobin

♫ I want to ask the distant moon if that is you ♫

♫ Wearing rainbow colored clothes, dancing under the falling flowers, and accompanying me through the years ♫

♫ Is that you? But the moon won't speak ♫

♫ The shadows in pairs makes a line of a love poem ♫

♫ Protect my little light so it doesn't drift during the whirlwind ♫

♫ There is light in the dark and a wide umbrella in the rain ♫

♫ When the rims of my eyes become red, you hold out your hands to me ♫

♫ My tears then blossom in your palms ♫

♫ Protecting my slight stubbornness and accompanying me to watch the moon ♫

♫ It will remember how we looked shoulder to shoulder ♫

♫ Even with the onslaught of time and hardships caught on the corners of our eyes ♫

♫ It would still be the sweetness you'd given me ♫

Ni Chang, what are you doing?

You've embroidered it really well.

Can you gift it to me?

I'm not just going to take it.

I'll trade with you.

This piece of jade, I've worn it ever since I was little.

Initially, I thought that when I got married,

I'd exchange it as personal item with my husband.

Right now, you also know.

I only have a husband in name now,

but I don't think he deserves it.

I really want to be friends with you,

so I'll give it to you.

Count it as a gift to show my sincerity.

If you like this piece of embroidery, then just take it.

This jade is so precious to you, I cannot take it.

I really regret the past and sincerely wish to be friends with you.

If you don't take it, it means you still won't accept me.

I had always thought my skill was good and well liked,

but now, everyone has turned their backs on me.

What honor do I still have?

You were fine just now, what's this all about?

Fine! I'll take it for your sake.

Really?

For you!

Your embroidering has indeed become more refined.

I truly admire it.

You would never be convinced that I could do it before.

How long ago has it been, but you still remember that?

You don't allow anyone ever to be young, naive, and frivolous, do you?

For Miss Yan to actually become so humble,

it really is very difficult to believe it.

Ni Chang, I really do feel remorse.

Since Su Wenyu doesn't like me,

I also won't force it anymore.

If the two of you can be together,

I'm willing to give up my place any time.

You assume too much, don't you?

I already have nothing to do with Young Master Su.

Besides, you're already married to him.

How can I just be paired up with him?

I get it... right now, you look down on him.

Don't you still have His Highness, Prince Luo?

Yan Wenxiu, what are you implying?

Ni Chang, don't get angry!

I made a mistake.

It's getting late, I should also head back.

Thank you for this piece of embroidery.

Oh right! Ni Chang, this piece of jade,

be sure to keep it safe!

What are you looking at?

Have you seen it now?

Only a big merchant would befriend another big merchant.

Your family's little workshop, how could it be compared to the Fragrant Herb Hall and the Su's?

You even have delusions of being treated as sisters.

What nonsense are you spouting? Ni Chang isn't that type of person.

Not that type of person?

Let me ask you this.

Doesn't she often talk to you about embroidery techniques?

Silly goose! She's brainwashing you.

Don't forget! You're all weavers

and are all competitors.

Wait until you reveal all your niche secrets,

see if people will pay you attention anymore.

[Open Reflection Tea House]

Chief Su, please come in!

Please come in!

Chief Su, we've been waiting for awhile now.

Hurry up inside, please!

- Chief Su. - Everyone, don't be so polite. Please do sit down!

Chief Su, please!

Congratulations, Young Master Su, for becoming the newly selected Chief of our guild.

- Congratulations, Boss Su! - Elders, you've all gathered here,

I, Su Wenyu, am very honored.

I'm just a newcomer to the guild so I hope elders and uncles

will give me advice and pointers.

Chief Su, you're young and bright.

It's really a great fortune for our guild.

Actually, we hope Chief Su will plead with the Lords at the Bureau of Affairs.

We normally rely on the Lords to protect us, merchants, in doing business daily.

That's how we can have the good business we currently do; thus, paying the guild's fee is what we should be doing.

However, the payment for this membership is initially collected yearly.

Our businesses haven't been good these days.

All of a sudden, Lord Yuan wants to collect the fee for an additional year.

- I... We... feel this is very hard for us. - Yes.

Why did His Lord suddenly change this rule

to ask us to pay so many silver taels all at once?

We fear that with our small businesses,

doing something like this would be as good as emptying out the cash from our families.

However, if we're late in paying, our memberships would be cancelled

and so would our eligibility to do business.

How is this any good for us?

Elders, please rest assured and don't be too anxious.

- These things, I still need to— - We all believe that you can certainly do it.

- Yes, yes, yes. - Please have some tea!

Have some refreshment! Have some refreshment!

- Please have some! Have some! - Please! Please!

Rou'er, you're back!

Yesterday, you asked me about the Blooming picture. (TN: or Blossoming - usually Peony - to represent happy, rich, and noble yearning.)

I think the composition isn't quite balanced as there's too much white space, so it's appears to be petty.

Therefore, I thought through a new one for you. Take a look!

I feel a little unwell today. Let's talk about this some other day!

Princess.

Where is he?

Still won't come?

The people from Prince Luo's palace said that His Royal Highness Prince Luo had gone hunting.

It's not a hunting season now, so what kind of hunting has he gone out for?

Besides, Quiet Willow Pavilion also has a nearby hunting ground.

He just wants to find excuses over and over again.

It's so obvious that he doesn't want to come.

Princess, if he doesn't appreciate you, then just forget about him.

In this world, he isn't the only man.

If you're bored, why don't I find someone else to come and play with you?

I think Wu Yi is quite good.

Look at his skills when it comes to riding and archery, they're both outstanding.

- Where is Wu Yi? - Wu Yi...

Men!

- Princess. - Where's Wu Yi right now?

Princess, Wu Yi went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet.

Without my permission, who allowed him to be out and about?

- Ask him to come back quickly! - Yes.

- Let's change clothes. - Princess, where are we going?

I have a few sets of Central Plains garments made by Qian'er at the Propitious Courtyard.

I really liked them quite a bit.

The weather looks pretty nice today, so I want to don one to go and be a guest.

A guest? Where do you want to go to be a guest?

Where else? Prince Luo's Manor, of course.

However, is Prince Luo not at home?

Therefore, I'll wait over there for him to come back.

[Gao Manor] Come and look!

Come and take a look!

Selling it for cheap!

Your Highness, since the time I saw that person entering the Gao Manor,

I've sent someone to keep watch, but we haven't seen that person coming out so far.

It's likely that he might have been ordered to stay put.

Your Highness, according to your order, the people in the Gao Manor might already sense that we're investigating them.

That might not be true, but Gao Xuan has always been treacherous and cunning.

I'd still like to be meticulous. Go on!

- However, you must be careful. - I'll do as you command.

[Gao Manor]

Stop! What are yo doing?

Hello Official. I'm here to deliver firewood.

Please let me in at your convenience.

Firewood?

- Why is it another person today? - Old Zhang's been sick.

I'm doing it for him today.

Take him in through the side door.

- Follow me! - All right. Thanks, Official.

- Carry your firewood! - All right.

Why didn't that old Zhang come?

Sick! He's sick.

It's been chilly over the past two days.

- Here! This room. - All right.

- Just put them down here. - All right. Alright.

Well, I can't pay you today. I'll give you a lump sum at the end of the month.

No worries. No worries! Just wait till next time.

Brother, this manor is quite splendid.

- Your Master must be a Lord. - Of course!

Our Master is the Second-in-Command at the Bureau of Affairs.

He's in charge of several hundreds of people.

- It must be splendid here. - Right, right, right..

San'er is here!

- What are you looking for? - I'm starving.

W-What are you looking for?

San'er, you can't eat this fish! It's being saved for our Lady to feed the cats with.

So what? Her cats can eat it!

- I'm her nephew, but I can't have it? - That's not what I mean.

If you eat what she feeds the cats, she'll lose face, won't she?

She loses face? She called me over.

My family thought I, Fu San'er, could find a great job in the capital,

that I would have a bright future.

But instead? They locked me up in this manor.

I can't even see the sun.

How is it different from being imprisoned?

I don't have face anymore.

The Lady is worried... worried that you'll get in trouble out there.

Piss off!

Did I get in trouble?

Even if I did, I was forced into it by the both of them.

Not only did they take away my money,

but they also locked me up.

I'm left with no choice!

- I must tell their evil deeds— - Third Master, be careful of what you say! Go to sleep after you eat.

Don't make us suffer a beating with you, alright?

Wait a second!

What's wrong?

You... What did you just call me?

I... Third... Third Master.

That sounds quite good.

Call me that from now on!

You dare treat me badly?

Brother, I'll leave the firewood here.

I must leave now.

Your Highness! Your Highness, I saw that brat.

When should we make our move and drag that brat out here?

No rush! Dragging him out right now will alert them.

Let Gao Manor take care of him for now.

It'll come in handy later on.

- Let's head back to the manor. - Alright.

Head back to the manor!

Your Highness, here.

[Prince Luo Manor]

Be careful! Watch your steps.

Your Highness, your "trouble" is here.

Brother Ziyu! Brother Ziyu, you're finally back.

Princess, why are you here? You also didn't inform me in advance.

I'm sorry for not going out to welcome you.

If I'd informed you in advance, you would've run away faster than a rabbit.

What are you talking about? We just went hunting.

We just got back.

You went hunting?

- By carriage? - That's right.

Where's the prey?

That's right! Xiao Lu, where's the prey?

Prey... The prey's gone. It escaped on our way back.

- How could it have escaped? - It's good enough for me to just hold onto you.

Come with me to the Scanty Garden.

Princess, men and women keep their distance in Great Ning.

- We can't be like this. - Does it matter?

- Let's go to the Scanty Garden. - Wait! What are we going to the Scanty Garden for?

Today I'm the host of Lanzhao and Great Ning's tournament in the Scanty Garden.

You'll come along, won't you? Come on.

I... Xiao Lu!

- Let's go. - Isn't there something in the manor...

Your Highness, just go ahead!

- Your Highness, Princess— - I'll take care of the manor!

- Come take a look. - What is this?

- Buy some to take home. - All right.

It's fresh.

Official, come and look at this.

It's really not bad.

[Xie Manor]

So many goods were delivered!

Let's hang in there. I'll give everyone more meat for lunch.

Great! Thank you, Steward Liu.

[Xie Manor]

[Fragrant Herb Hall]

Lord Wu Yi, I've been looking all over for you.

Turns out you are here. Princess had me come to ask you to return.

Beat him, Young Marquis!

Be careful, Young Marquis! [All Things Follow Logical Reason]

- Great! Well done! - Young Marquis is superb!

Watch out!

Young Marquis, watch out!

Throw him!

- Throw him! - Throw him!

- Young Marquis, well done! - Young Marquis!

Wonderful, Young Marquis!

Amazing, Young Marquis.

Who else wants to compete against me?

Doesn't Prince Luo want to join the tournament?

Young Marquis, that was superb!

I'm not good at martial arts, so I don't want to embarrass myself.

Then I'll go for it.

I can't let that brat steal the show.

Who else wants to compete against me?

Great! Princess, great!

Princess, are you going to use a knife or a sword?

I don't need a knife or a sword to beat you.

Forgive me if I offend you. I'll go a few rounds with you then.

You have to watch out.

Young Marquis, please go ahead.

Beautiful! Well done, Princess.

Great!

- Beautiful! - Well done, Princess!

Great! Well done, Princess!

Princess, your martial arts are great! Good fight!

Young Marquis, are you scared already?

Scared of you? What a joke!

Great!

You...

Be careful, Princess!

You're superb! Well done!

- Even his hair is messed up. - Princess is superb!

Great!

Great! Amazing!

Look at him! How embarrassing!

Let's do it again!

Princess, let's not overdo it.

With disheveled hair, I'm not in the mood for a fight.

Not in the mood for a fight? Then admit defeat.

Our levels of martial arts are about the same, so why should I admit defeat?

Then let's compete again.

I'd better not going as I still have work to do.

Scanty Garden is rarely lively.

It'd be a pity to miss it. Let's go!

Watch out, Young Marquis!

Young Marquis!

Just admit defeat!

Watch out!

Great! Keep going!

Well done, Young Marquis!

Ni Chang, why are you here?

Good kick, Princess!

Good!

- Returning it to you! - Young Marquis, are you all right?

Young Marquis sure was courageous.

I didn't know your martial arts was this good.

It really does change one's opinion of you.

I wouldn't have lost before! It's all because of that Princess Lanzhao!

She used underhanded tricks, yet you're even making fun of me.

Lanzhao's people are skilled in martial arts, so it's not shameful to lose to them.

- Don't be sad. - Really?

I wasn't going to lose initially.

It's just that I drank a bit too much last night so I woke up after noon today.

Just now, I lacked concentration and that's all!

That's right. That's right! It must be because of that reason and not due to your martial arts.

Are there any other warriors?

I wonder if Princess has had enough fun.

Why don't I ask for another round with you?

- All right! - I don't count as a warrior,

but in Great Ning, I can't lose.

Prince Luo, please!

- Since we have time now, how about we— - Great!

Prince Luo, forgive me!

[All Things Follow Logical Reason]

[All Things Follow Logical Reason]

Whom are you looking down on, Your Highness, Prince Luo?

- Continue! - This martial arts meeting shouldn't be overdone.

Why are you so serious?

Careful, Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Chopping someone's crown and ripping the clothes right at the start?

This habit of Princess' isn't good.

Beat me if you can then, then come and take my hairpin.

- I dare not. - Then admit defeat!

Come on! Watch your left!

You're the Young Marquis from General Liu's Manor, aren't you?

From what I see, Young Marquis didn't lose in skill earlier.

It was just that you were shaken after losing your crown.

Good, Princess!

My name is Yan Wenxiu, Ni Chang's friend.

- We're— - Ni Chang, why isn't Prince Luo trying his best?

- Princess, beat him! - Can he win like this?

- Hit him, Princess! - Be careful, Your Highness!

- Good! - Watch out, Princess!

Great!

I won't overdo it. Princess, please admit defeat!

How can I admit defeat while you're hugging me like this?

Princess, forgive me!

It's getting late! If Princess continues this fight,

the sun will set.

Okay, all right, fine!

I admit defeat.

- Great! - Amazing!

Prince Luo's martial arts is too powerful.

I cannot compare.

You're exaggerating, Princess! We're only competing for fun.

There's no need to take it seriously.

I was praising you, so why are you so polite?

Just accept it!

You won! You need to treat me.

Then I'll go along with Your Highness, Princess.

- Consider it to be in celebration. - Let's go!

Go now!

Men are all the same! Love anyone they see.

- What true love is there? - Who said so?

I'm also a man, yet I only love one.

Young Marquis is still young.

Once you grow up and know more, you won't be saying that.

The martial arts competition is over, can we leave now?

It's still early, so how about we use this chance

to walk around in the back yard.

- If the Young Marquis has time— - You two take your time.

I'll be leaving first.

- Ni Chang, wait for me! - Young Marquis!

♫ To handle the impermanence, how far must I look into the distance ♫

♫ To be able to stay by your side ♫

[Propitious Courtyard]

- What place is so festive? - It's the neighboring Quiet Willow Pavilion.

Princess Lanzhao's holding a banquet for the guests.

Rou'er, I still have some milky powder.

Why don't you use it?

N-No! Thanks.

However, your material is soft.

- if you don't strengthen it— - Ni Chang, I've thought about it.

In the future, we should just keep to ourselves.

It's better if we... don't talk about certain things.

Princess.

Stop drinking! If you drink anymore, you'll be drunk.

So what if I drink too much?

I might as well speak clearly today.

Watch the steps!

The zither sounds good, but if you keep repeating it

without speaking one word to me,

what's the reason behind that?

Please forgive me, Princess! I always forget everything when I start playing the zither.

- My apologies for neglecting Your Highness. - Since you acknowledge your fault,

then let me give you an opportunity to make up for your fault.

Come! Drink this one.

I just drank a lot.

I'll become drunk if I drink more.

It's not early anymore.

I should be heading back.

- Princess... - I'm not allowing you to leave.

Her Highness, Princess, is tired today from drinking quite a bit of wine.

Hurry up and help her back to rest!

Older Brother Ziyu!

This...

When I saw you for the first time in Lanzhao when I was 15 years old,

I fell for you.

I was sent on a diplomatic mission to Great Ning this time,

because I personally asked father for this mission.

It's because I wanted to see you.

I... Older Brother Ziyu...

Please forgive me, Your Highness, Princess! Love cannot be forced.

I already have someone I love.

In this lifetime, there will be only her.

Please forgive me, Princess!

Quickly help Her Highness back to rest!

Princess... Princess!

Who is she?

- Ouyang Ziyu, stop! - Princess!

Stop right there, Ouyang Ziyu!

You must be lying to me.

You say you have someone you love... you must be lying.

Princess, don't be like this.

It's must be a lie! I won't give up on him.

Go back and get some rest.

Let's go!

[May Things Proceed Magnificently]

- Attendant Zhao. - What's the matter, Attendant Zhao?

The shoppers lost a piece of jade.

Every room is being searched.

The higher ups of the Bureau of Affairs wanted it sent to the Imperial City.

If we can't find this jade,

you'll all be beheaded.

Attendant Zhao!

- It's not here. - Search every room!

After searching, I'll be able to finish my task.

Search the next room!

- Not here. - Not here.

Hold on!

There's a piece of jade here.

It's not this one.

Let's go!

What do you mean?

What do I mean? Teaching you a lesson!

This is the jade the Purchasing Department lost, isn't it?

It's also the one you gave to me the other day.

Did you think, I'd believe you really wanted to be friends with me?

Yan Wexiu, we were classmates for years.

The only person I won't ever trust, is you.

However, I never thought you'd be this vicious.

In order to plant stolen goods on me, you even dared to steal a tribute.

Tell me! If I hand this jade

to those in charge, how would they punish you?

If you can do it, then why don't you do it?

Let's see who Attendant Zhao believes!

If there was no one colluding with you secretly, how would you dare steal something from the Purchasing Department?

Why don't we let the Lords in the Bureau of Affairs do justice for us?

How about that?

Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have Prince Luo's support!

That's right!

Someone in he higher-ups instigated me to plant the stolen jade on you.

What?

Are you scared now?

What can I be scared of?

Have you ever beaten me?

Give it back immediately!

So as not to fail to report on your mission.

Fresh vegetables! Take a look! Take a look!

This one! I want them all.

Your Highness, we'd better go back early.

- It's a bit chilly today. - I'm happy.

This one! I also want it.

Lady, come and take a look!

Have a look!

This is mine! Give it back to me.

- It belongs to the one who pays fist. - You!

You wouldn't be unreasonable, would you?

Why can't I obtain anything I want?

Who said you can't?

- I'll give this to you then! - Presumptuous!

You should say, "Please take it, Your Highness, Princess!"

All right! I was wrong.

Please take it, Your Highness, Princess.

Wouldn't it be alright now?

When you're upset, you should eat something sweet.

Princess should try to pretend all your worries are on the candy,

then...treat it as a pig, and eat it fiercely!

That's right, a pig!

Just a pig!

When did I also become a pig? I-I'm not a pig.

I'm not a pig!

Wait for me!

Miss Ni Chang!

Good morning, Miss Ni Chang!

Good morning, Sister Xiao Qin.

Miss, just take pity on me.

If I still can't invite you, the Prince will really scold me.

Sister Xiao Qin, please tell His Highness.

I am very busy, and really don't have time to go to see him.

In order to see you, His Highness especially bought a courtyard that was very close to you.

Such dedication...

it can't go unaccepted.

It's more important that His Highness plays zither for Princess Lanzhao.

He need not worry about me in the least.

You must be... jealous of Princess Lanzhao.

I'm not.

How would I have time to be jealous of her?

That's fine then.

Since the Prince purposefully acted close with Princess Lanzhao to make me angry,

then I'll play along.

You're right!

Ignore him for a few days.

Sister Xiao Qin, you should quickly leave.

You aren't from our yard, it'll be bad if you're discovered.

Hurry up and leave!

Quickly leave!
