[Love you seven times]

[Episode 6]

Young Miss.

I don't know what happened to me earlier,

and ended up pushing her down.

Will we be okay?

I don't know.

I'm sorry, Young Miss.

By the way,

Lü He.

Where is the person who saved me earlier?

We couldn't find him.

I only remember he shouted "Miss Fairy",

before jumping down to save you.

Your Highness.

Actually now,

General Lu has sent Young Mistress Song

back to her home.

So you...

don't have to worry anymore.

Actually earlier,

I stopped you from diving into the water

because I was thinking of your health.

Moreover,

in front of His Majesty,

you should not be improper in any sense,

Your Highness.

I know my limits.

Yes.

Cui Bi.

Young Master Lu.

How is Xiangyun?

She's awake now.

My goodness.

Since I've ruined

Immortal Chu Kong's innocence,

how will I still be allowed to live?

Xiangyun.

Are you okay?

Did you catch a cold?

She's not even breathing.

In this case,

I guess I'll need to give her two more breaths of energy to...

Lu Changkong.

I didn't know you were this kind of person.

You weren't like this when we were younger.

Who did you learn this from?

I always hang out with you.

Of course I picked up

a couple of

little tricks.

You...

You learn nothing good,

and only pick up useless things.

Xiangyun, let me ask you.

When you were by the river earlier,

did someone push you in from behind?

Song Xiangyun!

How dare you offend Young Miss Yingshi!

I can't let him know that

it was Princess Yingshi who pushed me down.

No.

There were too many people on the bridge.

I got squeezed off by accident.

Xiangyun.

At that time,

it was an emergency. I didn't think that much.

If you're upset about it,

I apologize.

I'm not that petty of a person.

Since it was to save me,

I'll just let it slide.

But remember,

you did this of your own accord.

Don't try

coming after me for it later.

Why would I do that?

You're the one who's coming after me for it.

I...

I won't come after you either.

About our earlier topic,

you haven't answered my question.

Why did you suddenly run away?

Don't tell me you really got angry...

I don't know why my cousin

was there earlier either, I...

I-I'm not angry.

I...

I don't know Yingshi at all.

I didn't know that you two had

that kind of relationship either.

You even went to

find out her name?

She...

She's my uncle's adopted daughter.

She grew up near the border in Anliang.

When we were younger,

we- we did meet a few times,

but those were all casual jokes we made as kids.

As adults, we can't be that bold anymore.

Don't worry.

I will settle this as soon as possible.

It should be settled as soon as possible.

Come in.

Your Highness.

It's time to take your medicine.

Your Highness.

Such an oblivious fool you are.

Did you not realize that

His Highness caught a cold?

Go off now,

and bring two more blankets here.

Yes.

Your Highness, you should not be impulsive.

You should know

Concubine Xian

personally ordered for this medicine to be delivered.

If Her Highness knows

-you didn't take your medicine today... -Whatever.

I'm sick and tired of

pretending to be weak.

Call Captain Feng here.

Yes, Your Highness.

[Lu Mansion]

Father.

Are you looking for me?

Why did you do this to yourself?

I...

The day after tomorrow will be the royal

riding and archery tournament organized by His Majesty.

They say its a test of physical ability,

but His Majesty actually

wants to select a martial arts tutor for the royal princes.

I was already worried that your hand injury

would affect your performance.

I didn't expect you to

make yourself so exhausted.

If you catch a cold on top of this,

you will lose the chance to fight for the title.

Isn't that...

a good thing?

What do you mean?

Father, look.

With our current status,

if we're adamant on taking the title of the Princes' Tutor,

it might cause suspicion.

The tallest trees catch the most wind.

You taught me that.

The court has already reminded the Lu family of that.

[Manual of Wenkang's Military Provisions and Funds]

This is all the Lu family's ledgers you got

from Second Brother's side?

Yes, Your Highness.

Captain Feng.

Yes, Your Highness.

You are a smart man.

You should know

the consequence of betraying me.

Please bear witness to my innocence, Your Highness.

Since I became an official,

I've always been loyal to Your Highness.

Even if I was sent by you

to serve the Second Prince as a spy,

all I have been thinking

and worrying about every day

is you, Your Highness.

Then I shall

assign you with

the most crucial

and important task.

I won't let you down.

Go to the suburbs of Wenkang.

Kong,

the Lu family has always been fiercely loyal.

We have a clear conscience.

How can you give up your responsibility as a subject

just because you're afraid of people talking?

As a general of the imperial court,

not only should you be responsible for serving the country,

but you should also help the princes stabilize the empire.

A general should not be

as timid as you are.

Besides,

with His Majesty's temper,

if he really wants to kill us,

even if I hide in my tortoise shell,

it won't be of any use.

-I really... -Just do your best.

Kong,

Hurry.

Mother!

Drink this while it's hot.

I'm fine.

I'm not a child anymore.

Your father knew you fell into the water,

so he asked someone to make this ginger soup

in case you catch a cold.

Look at you, how did you even fall into the water

while looking at the lanterns?

Slow down.

Slow down.

Mother.

I'm fine.

What about Yingshi?

Is she back?

Yes.

She fell asleep in the guest room.

Don't worry about her.

That child...

Why didn't she tell me she's back in the capital?

Okay.

Rest early.

I'm fine,

Mother.

Protector.

That stone goblin has made a new move.

What is it?

He broke taboo for the woman he loves.

After becoming stone,

he stayed underwater for a whole night.

Good.

As I expected,

he fell in love.

Protector,

is it the right time now?

No hurry.

Love in this mortal world

is unpredictable.

With the power of the Stone Heart,

once he falls in love,

he will fall deep

and won't be able to get out of it.

Just continue observing.

Yes.

I’m waiting for that stone goblin

to entertain us with a good show.

This entertaining romantic tragedy

has now begun.

[Lu Mansion]

Young Miss, why are you up?

How are you now?

I feel refreshed

and my body feels light.

I've never felt so good.

Young Miss, seems like you're really ill.

Look at where we are now.

Lu Mansion.

That's right.

This way,

I can see Cousin every day.

They do say, whoever's closer gets the catch.

I'm already living in Lu Mansion.

There's no way I'll lose to Song Xiangyun.

But...

they are engaged.

Even if they are engaged,

Song Xiangyun

can't live in Lu Mansion openly.

While I, Xie Yingshi,

I can live here openly and proudly.

So don't blame me for catching up fast

and taking her place.

Young Miss,

are you sure

you can really capture his heart first?

Am I wrong?

By the way,

have you found the person who saved me last time?

I've put out a handsome reward to look for him.

But there's no news yet.

He did an act of kindness

without leaving his name,

nor asking for a reward.

I didn't expect

such noble people to still exist.

What?

The lady who lived on the second floor moved out?

Yes, sir.

She moved out?

I don't believe it.

How is that possible?

I'm not lying, sir.

She really moved out?

You mean this lady here

really moved out?

Sir,

are you sure there's nothing wrong

with this painting?

No. It's just that Miss Yingshi

was as beautiful as a fairy.

Every frown and smile of hers is vivid in my mind.

No, this...

Miss Fairy.

Miss Fairy.

Sir, let's look elsewhere.

She really moved out.

Miss.

Sir, do you have a mirror?

This rascal.

Where have you been

since last night?

Why,

you don't want to be a human anymore?

You...

What's that smell?

You...

You want to change form

into a fish?

That's fine too.

Salted fish, dead fish, edible fish.

Anything is fine.

What?

Are you actually sad?

Miss.

Miss Fairy...

is missing.

Don't worry.

She's fine.

She just moved into Lu Mansion.

She moved into Lu Mansion?

Then Young Master Lu and her...

It's a matter of time.

Shouldn't you be happy?

Isn't that what you want?

Yes.

It's going according to my plan,

and I'm setting the two of them up.

I'm not offending the Eastern Sea,

and also protecting the Marriage Pavilion.

I should be happy.

But why am I not happy at all?

When can I ever

see Miss Fairy again?

How should I face them?

Cousin,

your hand hasn't recovered yet?

Let me see.

I'm fine.

Looks like you've fully recovered long ago.

Cousin, you will win tomorrow's tournament.

I will cheer loudly for you

and boost your morale.

Come on.

Horseriding and archery are so common at the border.

Don't tell me you haven't seen enough.

It's never enough.

My father always said

you are a young hero.

He asked me come to the capital to learn from you.

Not only horseriding and archery,

but I should also study military strategy.

But I don't know where to start.

Learning military strategy is too hard.

Cousin, please teach me.

These books,

finish reading them before dark.

Together with three discussion essays.

And these too.

[Tai'an Palace]

Father.

The national treasury is running low, and things are unstable at the border.

I don't think it's appropriate

to renovate Tai'an Palace now.

Your Majesty.

The Eldest Prince is right.

The fields in the southwest are hit by disaster.

Many people haven't harvested anything this year,

and are still suffering from hunger.

At present,

we shouldn't be doing such major renovations.

General Lu.

Father is the most important person in the nation.

He has lived in the cold and damp Tai'an Palace for a long time.

If he falls sick,

isn't that the biggest loss to Great Chen?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Jinghua Palace was just renovated last year.

In my opinion,

you can move to Jinghua Palace temporarily.

Father is the ruler of the country,

and is also the representative of the nation of Great Chen.

If he keeps living in an obscure palace for long,

once word gets out,

the neighboring countries will laugh at us.

In my opinion,

prioritizing the people's needs is the basis of good governance.

The country prospering, and the people living stable and good lives

is the true hallmark of Great Chen's dignity.

And Your Majesty's reign

will also be praised for years to come.

Father,

-I think... -Enough.

They just don't want to allow me to renovate my sleeping chamber.

What's the big deal?

Let's just not renovate then.

Your Majesty, this...

Everything in the palace

is up to Your Majesty's discretion.

Us humble subjects

have crossed the line.

Lu Liang.

Let's conclude this matter.

No further discussion is needed.

My dear ministers.

The royal riding and archery tournament is approaching.

Get ready for it.

We respectfully send Your Majesty off.

I know you are loyal to the country.

But for some pieces of advice...

you should think about how to convey it properly.

Don't make the situation so difficult every time.

You know how

His Majesty is like.

If I hint indirectly,

I'm afraid he'll just play dumb.

But you know very well that

the Eldest Prince is not favored by His Majesty now.

You should hold off

on speaking up for him so much.

You know me.

I stand on the side of reason, not who's close to me.

The Eldest Prince is benevolent and cares for the people.

He is better than any other prince,

and even better than the emperor.

Why can't I help him?

Watch your mouth.

Don't get yourself killed.

Brother Song.

The Lu family is full of loyal men.

We are not afraid of death.

If it's for the country,

even if I die,

I should give my honest advice.

Hey...

Brother Lu.

You...

Is that my cousin?

It looks like it!

The one riding the horse!

Young Miss.

Are you also looking for Young Master Lu?

What?

I just want to see

which horse looks more handsome.

So which horse do you like?

Could it be Young Master Lu's?

He is quite handsome indeed.

Are you talking about the horse, or the person?

What nonsense are you saying?

In any case, I know.

Young Miss, you always say this.

But deep down,

you still care about Son-in-law Lu.

Son-in...what?

Welcome, Your Majesty.

We welcome Your Majesty.

[Scoreboard]

Everyone.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Rise.

Be seated.

All of you are the pillars of the country.

Let's have a good competition today.

Show me your real skills.

Let me tell you.

Today is an opportunity.

See that?

All the noble ladies are watching you.

Even if I don't end up noticing you,

you may just win the heart of a beauty,

which will be well worth your trip here.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Good!

His aim is accurate.

Good!

Great!

When is it Lu Changkong's turn?

He is the young genius who defeated

a 20,000-strong army with just 3,000 elite troops.

So it's him.

Why are we still competing?

We're already here.

Your Highness.

Young Miss, stop eating.

It's Young Master Lu's turn.

Lu Changkong is amazing.

Young hero Lu Changkong!

Lu Changkong, come on!

Lu Changkong is invincible!

Dominating the field!

Young Master Lu Changkong!

Young hero!

Invincible and unbeatable!

Come on!

Cousin!

Lu Changkong, come on!

Xiangyun.

Come on!

I know you're cheering for me sincerely,

and hoping that I can shine.

But this time,

I'm afraid I'll be letting you down.

I'm sorry.

Come on!

Stalemate.

Lu Changkong, let's see how long you can hide it.

General Lu isn't performing

up to standard today.

I heard he hurt his arm.

I'm afraid he can't hold a bow

anymore in the future.

Serving the country

doesn't necessarily mean you have to lead troops into battle.

Lu Liang.

Don't worry.

Considering Young General Lu's previous contributions,

I won't treat him badly.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

General, come on!

Young Miss!

Lu Changkong.

I don't believe

you won't step in to save them.

Do you want to die?

I...

Don't you dare do such a dangerous thing

ever again!

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Follow me.

I'm at fault for startling Your Majesty.

General Lu.

Please rise.

In such a dangerous situation at the field earlier,

it's all thanks to you that

those noble young ladies were saved.

Commander Song.

Yes.

Go find out

who was in charge of setting up these structures.

Once you find out,

I will punish them severely.

Yes.

It's too dangerous.

As for selecting

the tutor for the princes...

Father.

At that moment of danger,

General Lu was not afraid in the face of danger

and turned the tide successfully.

Not only did he show excellent horseriding skills,

he also risked his life

to save the young ladies of the families here from danger.

In my opinion,

this kind of courage and strategizing

should be an example for the princes to live up to.

Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince is biased.

You've all seen

Young General Lu's horseriding skills

during the tournament.

There's nothing outstanding about it.

This is unfair

to the other candidates.

That's because Lu Changkong injured his arm.

Despite that,

he can still hit the highest target.

Is anyone present here

capable of that?

It's just a coincidence.

Xiangyun, don't say anything.

Your Majesty, General Lu has made great achievements.

He also showed the bearing of a great general earlier.

I also think

General Lu rightly deserves to be

the princes' tutor.

Father,

I second that.

Your Majesty, we agree.

Your Majesty, we agree.

What you all said makes sense.

Lu Liang.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Not bad.

You have a good son.

You flatter me, Your Majesty.

What are you all waiting for?

Greet your tutor now.

Greetings, Tutor.

I'm flattered.

General Lu.

Looks like the future of Great Chen's empire

will fall on the shoulders of the Lu family.

Your Majesty, I'm flattered.

Your Majesty,

-I'm afraid I'm not capable of taking up this responsibility. I... -My dear General Lu, you've made great achievements.

You were calm and collected earlier,

and could prevent a big crisis from happening.

If I don't go with everyone's opinion here,

what would the people think of me?

Do you want everyone to criticize me?

I shall obey, Your Majesty.

Thank you for your benevolence, Your Majesty.

I'm tired.

Let's call it a day.

We respectfully send Your Majesty off.

Are you hurt?

I'm fine. What about you?

I'm fine.

Tutor Lu.

Congratulations, Tutor Lu.

I'm flattered.

You deserve it.

It's getting windy.

Yun'er.

Go ahead.

General Lu, by His Majesty's orders,

we received emergency military intel that

bandits are attacking Xiangbei.

They're asking to be granted temporary authority for

General Chen to lead troops

as reinforcements immediately.

I shall obey, Your Majesty.

Father.

Let's talk at home.

It's not wrong to save Changkong.

But how can you talk nonsense in front of His Majesty?

Do you not want to live anymore?

It's not that serious.

The Song family and Lu family

share our glories and losses.

If His Majesty gets angry,

not only will our family be in trouble,

Changkong will also be affected.

How would I know if you didn't tell me?

Anyway, I did nothing wrong.

You...

Commander Song.

Lu Changkong, I...

Whatever you want to say,

we can talk about it later.

Don't make your father angry.

Go.

Lu Liang.

Not bad.

You have a good son.

My dear General Lu, you've made great achievements.

Do you want everyone to criticize me?

The storm clouds are rising,

and the chaos is about to begin.

I can't drag Xiangyun into this mess.

Xiangyun.

I'm sorry.
