[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 10]

[Loyal and Reliable Limbs]

General Ling, why are you visiting in the middle of the night?

I heard that there are thieves causing trouble in your manor, Prince Xiao.

I especially led the Black-Armored Guards here

to assist you in capturing the thieves.

General Ling, in the manor,

we didn't lose any money or items. So we won't need to bother you. See these guests off.

A few days ago, General Wan's manor was also burglarized.

These thieves were too rampant.

If we don't capture them soon, the people in the capital will be in a panic.

I hope you won't mind a little inconvenience.

- Search. - Yes!

You... Ling Buyi!

I'm Prince Yong's son. Since I'm living in the capital, this manor is equivalent to Prince Yong Manor.

How dare you order the Black-Armored Guards to barge into my manor?

Prince Xiao.

Even if this were Prince Yong Manor,

if I want to enter, I will.

Ling Buyi, what did you say?

Young Lord, I've searched but didn't find any trace of the thieves.

General Ling.

Since you found nothing, then quickly take your Black-Armored Guards and leave.

"Loyal and Reliable Limbs?"

This is His Majesty's own calligraphy.

Of course. My royal father has been fighting in battles all his life.

He helped His Majesty capture new territory. He was conferred the title of prince and helped defend the borders.

These words are the praise given

by His Majesty to our Xiao family.

His Majesty sees Prince Yong's loyalty and bravery.

A tiger father does not have puppy sons.

I'm sure Prince Xiao also would not disappoint His Majesty. Isn't that right?

Of course.

We didn't capture the thieves tonight, so I won't be bothering you anymore.

Let's go.

Is Ling Buyi suspicious of us?

What about General Fan?

Ling Buyi is like a lingering ghost.

If I deliver the goods right now, I'll fall into a trap.

Fan Chang... Let's wait a bit longer.

Father, look who's here.

Uncle Wan.

My brother.

Sister-in-law.

Congratulations, Brother Wan. I heard that His Majesty conferred Old Madam Wan as "County Lady." (T/N: A rank given to ladies in ancient times)

Today is really a double happiness day.

As children, we work hard our whole lives for the purpose of bringing glory to our families.

Now that my mother is conferred by His Majesty,

I think it's more glorious than my own promotion.

Brother Wan is so filial. All of us admire you.

Good Brother, come inside, please.

Brother Wan, what's the matter?

Nothing, nothing. An old injury.

- Go, go. - Go, go.

What's wrong with Uncle Wan's buttocks?

Do you still remember the yowling you heard on the day you left, that sounded like a pig crying? Guess what happened.

My grandmother beat up my father.

She almost killed him.

But isn't it strange? Why did she beat up Father?

Don't make trouble.

What's wrong?

Mother has warned me today. She said if I fight with anyone again, she'll definitely spank me.

Wang Ling is here today. You better hold it in.

Don't worry. I definitely won't fight today.

What's wrong?

Older Sister, I suddenly have a stomach ache and need to go to the room.

- I'll go with you. - Don't come with me.

You're the host. You have to take care of your guests. I was here for several days.

I should be able to find it. Quickly go.

All right then. Be careful.

I'll be fine.

Sister Qiqi.

- Give me. - It's one after another.

- Sister Qiqi. - SIster Qiqi.

Take a seat. Eat well.

Wan Qiqi, this is how you treat your guests?

You just left us here in this awful place with no one to take care of us.

I'm in charge of everything here?

Sure. I'll feed you during the meals, and also accompany you to go to the toilet?

- You! - Enough!

My residence is too humble for you distinguished ladies.

It was just a formality to send invitations to you.

Who knew you ladies would actually come?

Didn't you invite many young masters?

I didn't come here for you.

Did you all happen to come to my house to see the men?

Please be good. Today is my grandmother's birthday.

Please restrain yourselves a little.

I heard that General Wan is planning to bring all the young men who came today to the training grounds for some practice.

I just want to see the lively scene.

This is your house. We couldn't just barge in, thus we came to you.

Actually, I've only moved into this new residence recently. So for where the training grounds are...

Where is it? Where is it?

Where is it?

- Sister Qiqi. - Younger sister is here.

Are you feeling better?

Let's go.

Cheng Shaoshang, are you in a hurry to leave for fear of running into Eleventh Young Master?

It's true. You were boasting that day and got caught. It was so embarrassing.

A'Li.

What are you doing here?

I...

Take a seat.

Aunt told me to watch over you.

You better follow me and stop gossiping about others over here.

Lou Yao, you actually have the time to tell A'Li what to do?

I heard that Sister Zhaojun and the Lou family are discussing canceling the engagement.

Heaven knows how deplorable and incompetent you are.

That's why Sister Zhaojun is in a hurry to cancel the marriage agreement.

If it were me, I would be so ashamed!

You...

Sister Qiqi, it's common for marriage talks to be unsuccessful.

Lady Wang's words about He Zhaojun are so nasty, saying that she's too ashamed because her engagement is being broken off.

- If He Zhaojun hears this, it's going to be bad. - Precisely.

I wasn't talking about He Zhaojun.

Thank you, Miss Cheng, for speaking up.

How dare you, Lou Yao. You're singing the same tune with her.

No wonder Sister Zhaojun wants to break off her engagement with you.

In my opinion, only this vulgar and uneducated Cheng lass suits you!

Stop arguing.

Today is Old Madam Wan's birthday celebration.

We mustn't argue and spoil the atmosphere.

Sister Wang was a little too forthright. Don't take it to heart.

Princess is indeed a princess, you speak elegantly and thoughtfully,

unlike some people.

Lady Wang, you should really learn from the Princess.

You're always with her, but instead of learning her positive traits,

you only know how to argue with a vulgar and uneducated person like me.

You fart.

Princess, she said, "You fart."

- I... I didn't. - You did.

- I didn't. - You did.

- I didn't. - You did. I'll pinch you.

Wow!

Amazing! Again!

General Ling is here!

General Ling.

So it's General Ling. I've heard General has been on the battlefield for a long time.

It's rare to have such a refined interest today.

General, want to give it a try?

Normally when I shoot an arrow, I definitely take someone's life.

A toy like this,

I can't help but win unfairly.

General Ling, today is the Wan family's birthday celebration, don't kill everyone's mood.

This game is no fun,

sightseeing over there is better.

I wonder if Young Master Yuan would go to view the flowers with me?

Hello, everyone.

Lords, please.

Greetings, Madam Wan.

Eat a lot.

Eat well, drink well. Please help yourself.

Lord Li, don't be courteous.

- Drink some more. - Okay.

- General, don't drink too much. - All right.

- Thank you. - Brother Cheng.

Brother Wan.

You and I should drink to each other.

- Here, here. - Here, here.

Try this one.

Has General Ling perhaps been out in the wilderness for too long and used to the views of the desert.

I see no flowers to enjoy in this garden.

A'Li, listen to me and go back with me.

I'm not leaving.

Eldest Aunt especially asked me to bring you home.

I said I don't want to leave with you.

Why?

We were just talking about Eleventh Young Master.

Eleventh Young Master?

Isn't he standing right there?

Standing next to him looks to be...

Young Master Yuan Shanjian.

Yuan Shanjian!

Let me take a look!

Let me see! Let me see!

Let me see!

Move aside!

It's Eleventh Young Master and Young Master Yuan Shanjian.

You all can look.

Look!

Young Master Yuan.

Do you know how to laugh?

General Ling, what are you saying? Which one of us doesn't know how to laugh?

Then, can I invite Young Master Yuan to laugh with me?

It's really him!

They are looking our way. Look!

Why don't you...

laugh facing these flowers?

Eleventh Young Master must be smiling at you.

Really? How come I can't see it clearly?

Can't see it clearly?

We can't see them clearly.

There's a bridge over there! Let's go on the bridge, the view is better there.

There's a bridge?

We're going, too!

Let's get on the bridge!

So handsome!

Young Master Yuan!

Let me take a look, too.

Sister Qiqi,

my stomach was upset just now. You should stay here and keep me company.

- A'Li. - Young Master Lou.

They are women while you are a man, do you also want to go check out Eleventh Young Master and Yuan Shanjian?

Stay here.

What are they up to?

Brother Wan, aren't General Ling and Young Master Shanjian here today?

I thought something happened.

Turns out, they just want to see handsome men.

- We're coming. - Eleventh Young Master!

We're coming! We're coming!

[Dangerous Bridge]

Young Master Yuan! We're here!

Young Master Yuan! Young Master Yuan!

General Ling, you led us here

just to see these ladies?

Young Masters, wait and see.

This view is rare.

Princess, look, Eleventh Young Master is looking at you.

Young ladies, please...

Move aside, don't get in my way.

This bridge is not sturdy, please don't go on it.

Don't block us!

Oh no!

Three..

Two..

One..

That bridge...!

Quickly save them!

Hurry up!

Hurry, help!

General Ling...

A'Li!

How did the bridge collapse?

Grab my hand.

Hold onto my hand.

Do you think that Wang Ling got injured?

Today was supposed to be a good day, how did this happen?

Shaoshang, let me go see if I can help with anything.

Hurry! Hurry!

Move aside!

I've never been this embarrassed in my life before!

The incident was caused by Niao Niao? Impossible!

Mother,

when the bridge collapsed, Fourth Miss Cheng was with Qiqi.

How is it possible?

If Niao Niao's intelligence was only at your level,

of course, it would not be possible.

It must be a coincidence.

How would Niao Niao know when the bridge would collapse?

Back in the day, Officer Lu Ban built that bridge to aid the monarch of the Chu Kingdom.

It is officially named as "Bridge of Stacked Bones."

If you pull out a few pieces of wood

and have someone step on the bridge,

the entire bridge will collapse instantly.

Mother, so you are saying,

after Niao Niao understood the architecture of the bridge,

she plotted a trap for the ladies?

This way, the plot will work whether she is present or not.

Miss Wang has always been picking on Niao Niao.

An act of revenge like this from Niao Niao is understandable.

If it were me in my younger days,

I could do something even worse.

Right, right, right.

As long as mother does not blame Niao Niao for setting the plot at the Wan Manor, all is good.

What is there to blame?

She asked Wan Manor to set up a wooden sign on each side of the bridge,

doesn't that already clear our name?

Right.

However, I did write a letter to Yuanyi and her husband about this.

Yuanyi needs to know about the incident

and understand the type of person that is her daughter.

Mother,

Niao Niao will definitely be punished if that's the case.

In this lifetime,

if one does not have accountability, it's better they give up

and live a simple and honest life.

Mother is right!

One needs to know, you reap what you sow.

Do you want a few more hits over there?

No, no, no.

Mother, I know I'm wrong. I'm wrong.

[Old Madam Wan's letter to Yuanyi detailing Niao Niao's actions.]

Actually, it wasn't that serious.

The young ladies just ended up looking a little in disarray.

But I noticed that their respective fathers did not take this matter to heart.

Only Old Madam Wan is experienced, astute, and pays attention to details.

Those young girls don't understand the full reasons.

In this matter, Niao Niao arranged it flawlessly.

Eldest Brother and Sister can rest assured.

You'll just need to apologize sincerely to the Wan family.

This matter can't be concluded so simply.

I will punish her and punish her harshly.

Today, it's lucky that Old Madam Wan saw through it.

What if other people saw through it?

I think it's not that Niao Niao isn't aware of her inappropriate deed.

She actually was aware that it wasn't appropriate but still did it.

She thinks she is smart and can get through everything easily.

She'll land herself into deep trouble if she's that bold.

I need to cut back her extreme temperament today.

General.

What exactly do you want to do?

I... I've promised you, so I will be faithful to my promise.

Qing Cong, bring the punishment rods.

- Someone. - Eldest Brother, are you going to use the family punishment on Niao Niao?

How much does Niao Niao weigh? Eldest Brother, if you slap her with your hand,

you can slap her into passing out. Who would need to use...

such a big rod.

You don't know that Niao Niao is bold and full of ideas.

An ordinary formation won't scare her.

- Then... - This time, we must let her suffer greatly.

Bleed a little, so that she'll grow some memory.

General, aren't you afraid that Niao Niao will hate you?

My Dear is right. That's why...

I won't hit her. You will hit her.

I'm being well-intentioned.

- Unbelievable. - Subduing such a rebellious child like Niao Niao

requires both hard and soft tactics.

After you're done hitting her, someone needs to comfort her.

Between us husband and wife, one has to be hard and the other soft.

General, you've thought of everything.

Thank you, My Dear, for your praise.

Qing Cong, hurry and bring the young lady.

Yes.

Come over here.

This is my plan. In a while,

I'll hide outside the hall

so that I won't get softhearted.

Once Niao Niao gets here, My Dear, you will get angry and subdue her.

At that moment, you'll throw the cup in anger.

Third Brother and Sister-in-law, you'll pretend that you just rushed over.

You two have to shed tears while pleading for Niao Niao.

My Dear will reluctantly accept it.

You must act like you're letting her off most unwillingly.

Eldest Brother really knows how to playact.

That's right. Why do we have to cooperate with you to do a show?

Don't you understand my good intention?

Today, we must let Niao Niao know that there are taller mountains and stronger masters.

She mustn't think that because there're people to save her, she can do whatever she wants.

It's decided then.

My Dear, don't forget. Throwing the cup is the signal.

Madam asks Young Lady to go to Jiuzhui Hall.

Young Miss, do you want me to call anyone?

This time,

no one can help me.

Kneel down!

Wan family's bridge collapsed today. Did you do it?

Why haven't you corrected yourself despite repeated teachings?

There's no why.

I just wanted to vent my frustrations.

What did I remind you before leaving the house?

If you caused trouble again, I wouldn't easily let you off.

Why did you insist on doing it?

I did what I did.

I never expected Mother to let me off anyway.

Hit me, punish me,

do as you wish.

Fine.

You dare to do it and dare to be accountable.

I won't need to be merciful.

Qing Cong.

Serve the military punishment.

Young Miss, hurry and admit your wrongdoing.

I didn't do wrong.

Young Miss!

I didn't do wrong.

If Mother wants to punish me, go ahead.

Why isn't there any sound or movement?

Did she get beaten or not?

Niao Niao is stubborn. Even if she hurts, she won't say it.

Those are military rods. Even soldiers can't stand it.

Eldest Brother, just looking at this formation,

I feel anxious. In the past, when Sister Yuanyi carried out disciplinary actions in the military,

what was it like?

There wasn't anyone who wasn't terrified by that commotion.

The moment Yuanyi gave the command, the lady military officers would march to the outside of the tent.

They would stand at each side of the entrance and stand guard.

No one dared to say anything in the military camp.

Wails and screams would fill the tent.

You really want to be punished?

Even if your flesh is torn, you are willing?

Mother, go ahead and hit.

What a good "good ahead and hit"!

If I don't discipline you today, how will others obey me?

How can I restrain the entire Cheng family?

Qing Cong, go ahead and hit!

Do not show any mercy.

Hit!

Oh no! She's doing it for real.

Didn't he say to hit her for a bit, then throw the cup as a signal?

I'm afraid before the cup is thrown, Niao Niao will have lost her life.

Why are you still standing here? Let's go take a look.

- General, stop. - Don't you dare to stop me!

Stop! Who dares to hit again?

Niao Niao. Niao Niao.

Father, you are finally here.

Yuanyi, no matter how big a mistake is committed by Niao Niao,

you shouldn't be so harsh.

She is our biological child.

Why was she hit so harshly?

Quickly. Hurry and get the doctor to give her medicine.

Sister Yuanyi, I've never admired you in this way.

How can you be so vicious to your biological daughter?

Even if Shaoshang was at fault,

can't you talk to her and teach her by example? Why carry out such a harsh punishment?

You hit her at every turn and are too impatient to teach her. How will this willful child become successful?

Great!

The one being hit didn't make a sound. The one who made this plan is questioning me instead.

In your whole family, the young ones can argue, and so do the older ones.

In the end, I'm the one who becomes unreasonable.

I'm the only one who is the bad person.

Third Brother, since you are going to begin your job at Hua County,

take her along with you.

I, Xiao Yuanyi, will not discipline this child again.

All right, Mother.

It's a promise.

Niao Niao, keep sleeping.

I just came to check in on you.

Father, in this family, you treat me the best.

From today on, Niao Niao won't create trouble for you again.

I also won't make you clean up after my mess.

Good child.

You are always my pride and joy.

Go to sleep and it won't hurt anymore.

I went to see Niao Niao just now.

Even in her sleep, she's saying it hurts.

My Dear, you didn't see...

when the doctor put medicine on Niao Niao,

she hurt so much that she was trembling.

Eat!

Drink!

Young Sister, you really vented for me.

You didn't see it that day when Wang Ling was covered in mud,

she looked embarrassingly battered.

And that Princess Yuchang.

She looked a total mess but still pretended to be elegant.

It's pretty funny.

Did you know?

As I stood by the lake,

I didn't even know whom to laugh at first.

Does it hurt? Let me look.

Older Sister, can you be more gentle?

- It really hurts. - Sorry.

Let me take a look.

Your mother is really cruel.

Why is she as heartless as my grandmother to my father?

Your father deserved it.

What did you say?

I said...

I'm saying,

I hurt when I stand, I hurt even more when I'm lying down.

I'm so miserable.

I find it weird.

How did your mother know it was you who did it?

You and I are so close. I didn't even know about this matter.

He must have told on me.

I helped him do something and he betrayed me.

He has no virtue at all.

Who are you talking about?

- That disaster deity. - Disaster deity?

General Ling sent over some ointment.

He said it's used after a military punishment.

It guarantees that your injury will heal fully after three days.

How does he know what happened to me?

Unless... he has a spy in my house?

Young Lord, this Miss Cheng doesn't know what's good.

She tossed out the ointment you sent over.

Is it because you don't need to watch Prince Xiao anymore, so you are so bored that

you've been eavesdropping at her door?

I was just curious, so I stayed a little bit longer.

Young Lord, that Prince Xiao got scared by us.

He hasn't dared to even go outside his door, not to mention have fun.

As long as he doesn't make a move, the person behind the scenes won't get the weapons.

The news of His Majesty's trip to the West has spread.

I don't believe the person behind the scenes can stay put.

This trip won't be peaceful.

Secretly arrange more people.

We must get ahold of evidence against them with the least loss on our side.

Yes.

Then this ointment...

Save it for yourself.

Son, eat more on the road.

Don't tire yourself out.

You... take care our my third son.

Yes, Mother.

Niao Niao, eat more along the way.

Don't tire yourself out, all right?

You... better take good care of my Niao Naio.

Eldest Brother, don't worry.

What are you laughing at?

Niao Niao, don't worry. I've divined an oracle.

You'll turn peril to luck along the way, no need to worry about anything.

No matter how dangerous the trip might be, this time

it'll be worth it if I can see the world.

Second Brother. Third Brother. Please don't worry about me.

If the outside world really is good,

I will definitely write you a letter to invite you to come.

At that time, we three siblings will be together and not study any useless books again.

That's good. We'll wait for that day.

Niao Niao, be careful on the road.

Please don't hate your mother.

- I... - Father, don't worry.

I'm going with Third Uncle and Aunt, I'll definitely take care.

Older Cousin, take good care of Mother.

All right.

- Time to get in the carriage. - Get in the carriage?

- Get in. - Already?

Have a safe journey.

Mother, take care.

Son.

Third Son, my third son.

Son...

Son...

Son... Son...

Madam, since you are worried, why didn't you see Young Miss off?

Who said I'm here to see her?

I'm only going to the Cheng family's ancestral home

to find some items. I just happened to pass by here.

Yeah. And what a coincidence

that you gave all your strong maidservants that followed you during the war to Third Madam

so they can take care of Young Miss.

Oh, no. And her party.

This child is so heartless.

Actually, isn't Young Miss just like Madam?

She may seem heartless, but she actually has a soft heart.
