[Episode 29]

Father!

Where were you?
Why didn't you bring Jia Yun with you?

You always talk about how Mother
often would get lost in the woods.

I thought it sounded like a mystery.

I went today in secret and, of course,
I lost my way as well.

Father, I also ran into a snake monster
and was nearly harmed.

Luckily, this sister saved me.

Don't run off by yourself again.

Thank you, Miss, for saving him.

It is nothing. Sir, you are...

My lord is the Celestial Tribe's
Crown Prince, Ye Hua.

Crown Prince?
Miao Qing greets Your Highness.

No need to stand on ceremony.

My older brother is
the Water King of Eastern Sea.

So you are Princess Miao Qing.

You saved A-Li's life today.
I must return this kindness.

Do you have a wish, Princess?

I have always admired
your fighting prowess.

It is my great fortune
to have met you today.

If I had a wish

I'd only wish to stay by
Your Highness's side.

Stay by my side?

You want to marry my father?

No, no.
Don't misunderstand, young prince.

I know I am merely
a princess of Eastern Sea.

I cannot enter Xiwu Palace.

I only want to stay at this hut

and when Your Highness brings
the young prince to visit

I could wash your clothes
and cook for you.

Princess Miao Qing.

With your status, it is inappropriate
for you to do such things.

Moreover, I am the one who is
supposed to fulfill a wish of yours.

It is unreasonable to make you serve us.

This is a wish of mine. I hope
Your Highness can grant me this wish.

Father.

Do you truly have such a wish?

Then we'll make it a period of ten days.

Once the ten days are over,
you will leave.

Your Highness.

What is it?

I will obey your command.

Father, I don't like that sister.
Don't let her stay.

She's clearly... clearly trying to
take Mother's position.

Enough.

Princess Miao Qing saved your life.

I promised I would fulfill her wish.
I will not break my word.

Father, you said Mother
would be back soon!

If you do this, Mother will be mad
when she gets back!

Enough.

A-Li.

Your mother will not be coming back.

Why?

Didn't you say as long as
the Soul-gathering Lamp is kept lit

Mother will return?

The Soul-gathering Lamp
has been extinguished.

She will not be coming back.

Why would it be extinguished?
Did Tian Shu not look after it?

That's enough! Step out.

Father!

Step out!

My lord, please calm down. His Highness
is just eager to meet Her Highness.

You two catch up to him quickly.
Just let him cry alone for a bit.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Your Highness?

- Your Highness!
- Your Highness!

- Slow down!
- What's wrong with His Highness?

He had an argument with the Crown Prince.
It is best if you don't go inside.

My lord is furious right now,
and won't wish to be disturbed.

Your Highness!

Dragonfly, Father must be
lying to me, isn't he?

I have waited for Mother for 300 years.
Mother will surely come back, right?

What is going on?

Why did His Highness say
the Soul-gathering Lamp has been put out?

It is because that Bai Feng Jiu
of Qing Qiu was too mischievous.

She transformed into Consort Su Jin

and stole the lamp,
putting out the light.

Think about it.
She is a princess of Qing Qiu.

She is Bai Qian's niece,
and is friends with Dong Hua Dijun.

Thus, His Highness couldn't
do anything about her

and could only let the matter rest.

His Highness and the young prince
have been waiting for 300 years.

So what of it?

Honestly, the lamp would only
create a person who looks similar.

It wouldn't really be her.

It being extinguished
is it's own blessing.

- Aunt.
- It's been returned?

I've returned it.

Did the Celestial Tribe condemn you?

Third Prince plead for leniency
on my behalf.

That's good. Your time spent
in Heaven wasn't for nothing.

I'll be going to the Eastern Sea
in a few days.

On my way back, I'll be stopping by
Fourth Brother's manor.

Stay here in Qing Qiu.
Don't cause anymore trouble.

What are you going to
the Eastern Sea for?

The Water King of the Eastern Sea
has born a son.

I just received an invitation
to the banquet.

But you have never liked these sorts
of social occasions and banquets.

Why is Water King of
the Eastern Sea so lucky

to be graced by your attendance?

Normally, I don't like
these sorts of social occasions.

However, back in the day,
Mother had difficulty giving birth to me.

Luckily, the midwife of
the Water King's family helped

saving Mother a lot of suffering.

They're inviting me this time
for a happy occasion.

It doesn't feel right to forget
the kindness they showed.

Mi Gu.

You're back, Little Princess!

I thought you'd be imprisoned
in heaven for 30 to 50 years.

It was all your rotten idea.

What orders do you have, Aunt?

Go fetch the biggest luminous pearl
from the pond.

You're giving a gift again?

How did you know?

Who in Qing Qiu doesn't know
you like giving luminous pearls?

The rank of the immortal
and Aunt's mood on that day

will determine the size of
the luminous pearl being gifted.

Back when Fox King was
living in the Fox Den

there were plenty of
luminous pearls in the pond.

Now you can almost see to the bottom.

Enough talking. Go get it quickly.

All right, my prodigal Aunt.

The Water King of Eastern Sea is merely

preparing a banquet for
his one-month-old baby.

He's taken several days absence

from court meetings
in the Emperial Hall.

That's right. It's just a banquet.
Does he need to go to so much trouble?

Do you all not know?

The Aunt from Qing Qiu will be attending
the Eastern Sea's dinner banquet.

This Aunt is afflicted with
an eye ailment

and cannot stand bright lights.

However, the glazed coral tiles
of the Eastern Sea Palace

are excessively bright and dazzling.

That's why Water King of the Eastern Sea

has been busy searching everywhere
for water lily leaves

to weave together to cover up
anything overly bright.

Is the Aunt you are referring to

the Fox King Bai Zhi's daughter,
High Goddess Bai Qian?

That's correct.

In this world

this is the only high goddess who is
worthy of us to address as Aunt.

Yes.

To be able to catch a glimpse
of Aunt is truly not easy.

That is why I already have
a gift prepared.

Fresh peach blossom facial cream.

It would surely be the utmost honor
to gain Aunt's favor.

Yes.

Isn't she the one who has an engagement
with the Crown Prince?

Heavenly Lord personally agreed to
this engagement 300 years ago.

I thought I would be able to attend
the Crown Prince's wedding banquet.

However, in these 300 years

there has not been any word
of the two tying the knot.

That's right.

His Highness has a son

but the position of his main wife
has remained vacant.

Bai Qian has remained in the valley
of Qing Qiu ever since she was born.

Nobody's invitation has been able to
successfully invite her out.

Those two have never even met.

Yes.

The two have yet to be married,
but they are in no hurry.

It is quite a wonder.

That's...

It is indeed strange.

However, the Water King of Eastern Sea
is quite fortunate.

Aunt hasn't left Qing Qiu
in tens of millennia.

Yet, he has managed to invite her.

It is such an honor.

It is quite an honor.

However, Water King of Eastern Sea
has been very troubled lately.

He never expected Aunt
would be attending the banquet.

He had even invited
Water King of North Sea.

Yesterday, the Crown Prince brought
his son to visit the Far East

and will be attending
the banquet along the way.

When the time comes, the three of them
will run into each other at the banquet.

Water King of Eastern Sea
is in a panic now.

Who knows what mayhem
may ensue at the banquet.

Who is this Aunt from Qing Qiu?

Does she have an existing feud with
Lord Ye Hua and Water King of North Sea?

You are young.
You might not know of this.

Before the great war between
Celestial Tribe and Ghost Tribe

Aunt once had a marriage arrangement
with Heavenly Lord's second prince.

It was originally
a well-matched engagement.

But somehow, Sang Ji fell in love
with Aunt's maid

and he was determined to
call off the engagement.

Water King of North Sea
wanted to marry Aunt's maid

even if it meant offending
Fox King Bai Zhi?

How good-looking is that maid?

I have seen that lady.

The second prince was
holding her by the arm

and knelt in front of the Heavenly Lord

and asked to marry her.

She is indeed a rare beauty.

However, compared to the lady
in Fox King Bai Zhi's family

her beauty is not even close.

I have never seen the lady

but I've heard Aunt has
a likeness to her mother.

No, even more beautiful than her mother.

I have actually had the good fortune
to catch a glimpse of Aunt.

At the time, I was just a young boy
following under Heavenly Lord.

I accompanied Heavenly Empress to
Zhe Yan's land to view peach blossoms.

I happened to see Aunt

dancing lightly and gracefully
atop the peach tree branches.

Because I was far away

I only saw the swath of a red dress
among the vivid peach blossoms.

That view was exceptionally alluring.
Exceptionally beautiful!

Even such a beautiful woman
can be rejected.

Heaven's will sure is
difficult to predict.

Yes.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this

that Aunt is unwilling to
step out of Qing Qiu.

Heaven's will is hard to fathom.

- Yes.
- That is so.

You scared me.

You just love to stir up trouble.
You are everywhere.

It's a good thing I didn't marry you.

Even if you wanted to marry me,
I wouldn't wed you!

A-Li.

I received an invitation
from Water King of Eastern Sea.

Do you want to visit the Eastern Sea?

No.

Then I'll go by myself.

Are you going to leave me here alone?

This is your choice.

Then I'll just go.

Your Highness, today is the tenth day.

You can leave now.

Isn't Your Highness heading to
my brother's Eastern Sea today?

- I can lead the way--
- No need.

I shall take my leave.

Sit properly.

Who are you?

How dare you trespass into Qing Qiu?

Young man, I am Star Lord Si Ming.

I came to visit the young princess
of Qing Qiu, Bai Feng Jiu.

- Si Ming?
- Yes.

Si Ming!

I haven't been able to sleep,
waiting for you. You're finally here!

- Your Highness.
- Come, let's go inside.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

The valley contains many of
Aunt's precious possessions.

Outsiders must not be allowed inside.

Especially those of Celestial Tribe.

I am very sorry, Star Lord Si Ming.

The Fox Den does indeed have a rule
that outsiders are not allowed.

It's no matter.

Since I came to pick you up
so you can repay your debt

it doesn't matter if I go in or not.

But will Your Highness need to prepare?
This may take two months of your time.

- Two months?
- Yes.

Mi Gu.

Is there any way I can avoid
going to the banquet at the Eastern Sea?

You can't.
A debt must be repaid.

A favor must of course be
returned with a favor.

No matter how capable you are,
the debt still needs to be repaid.

You're acting weird today.
Who has provoked you?

It's nothing.

I'm afraid Aunt won't let me leave
if she learns of this.

So can you tell Aunt only after
I have been gone for a few days?

Oh, yes.

Where is my luminous pearl?

Right! The luminous pearl.

Aunt, this is the largest pearl
in the pond.

By the way, Mi Gu,
I'd like something of yours.

What is it?

I want a branch from your tree.

It's a long journey to the Eastern Sea.

If I were to lose my way,
I could rely on it to to find my way.

Yes, my tree branch can give directions.

It is perfect for a high goddess
like Aunt who likes to get lost.

You're acting very odd today.

No, I'm odd every day.

Aunt, are you setting out
for the Eastern Sea now?

By the way, on my way back

I'll be stopping by to see
Fourth Brother in the north.

Keep watch of the Fox Den
with Feng Jiu while I'm away.

Don't get into arguments.

Fourth Uncle has indeed been
in the north lately.

He said the bird, Bi Fang,
was angry and returned there

so he has gone looking for Bi Fang.

You believe that?

Every time Fourth Brother is angry
at Zhe Yan, he uses that excuse.

In these 300 years since I've woken up

Bi Fang must have ran off
over a dozen times already.

Aunt is so wise.

When will the Little Princess
finish repaying her debt?

Long live Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Is that... Dijun?

It is Dijun.

Did Dijun do something wrong
and offend Heavenly Lord

to be sent down to the mortal realm?

How could that be possible?

He himself wanted to come
to experience trials.

Experience trials?

Dijun will be experiencing trials
in the mortal realm for 60 years.

I thought if Your Highness
wants to repay a debt

this would be the best time to do so.

How will I do it?

I've figured it out for you already.

Why did you bring me inside the palace?

Who is that?

Dijun is an emperor in the mortal realm.

I will arrange for you
to be in the palace.

That is who you will be
to repay your debt.

This Honored Lady will
fall into this pond soon

catch a cold, and suffer a long illness.

No medicine will be of any use,
and this beauty shall pass away.

You shall take advantage of this
to continue writing her story.

Henceforth, you shall be
Honored Lady Chen in the mortal realm.

How pitiful.

It's not pitiful.

Ever since she entered the palace
and saw the emperor twice

she hasn't had the chance
to sleep with him again.

To be living such a life in the palace

the earlier she leaves,
the earlier she is set free.

If I become Honored Lady Chen,
how should I repay my debt?

Use your discretion.

Quick! Now is the moment! Hurry!

Help! Help!

Quick, help her out!

Pull her up!

They're all charlatans.

They take a quick look, prescribe
some medicine, and then brush us off.

Are they taking advantage of us
because our lady is not favored?

Let it go. Do not mind them.

Step out. I'm tired now.

Yes.

Your Highness.

You're here.

I came to see if you've adapted
to the palace's rules.

I've spent time in Taichen Palace.
It is about the same here.

Besides, I constantly
cough up blood every day

according to the Book of Destiny

so I don't have to interact
with anyone either.

Come spring, this illness will
eventually get better.

However, this plumed cockscomb on
your forehead is a bit troublesome.

Is it?

My aunt said this was bestowed by heaven
and is very beautiful.

Yes, it is beautiful.

However, Honored Lady Chen did not
have a birthmark on her forehead.

Having such a flower appear
out of thin air may attract suspicion.

Will it?

When will His Majesty see me?

The physician says Your Ladyship's health
has nearly fully recovered.

I have also reported this.

Don't worry, Your Ladyship.

When His Majesty sees
Your Ladyship's nameplate

he will remember you.

Who is that?

That seems to be Honored Lady Chen.

Honored Lady Chen?

That's right, it is Honored Lady Chen.

I heard she fell into the water
in the twelfth month of the year

and has been sick since.

She has just now become
well enough to get out of bed.

Is it the Honored Lady Chen who

has been visited by His Majesty
only twice after entering the palace?

Yes, Your Highness.

Greetings, Empress and Your Highnesses.

- Greetings, Empress.
- Rise.

- Thank you, Your Highness.
- Thank you, Your Highness.

What is that makeup on your forehead?
It is so dreadful.

Wash it off quickly.

I was born with it.

Why don't I remember you having
such a thing on your forehead?

Your Highness.

After my lady recovered from her illness

this plumed cockscomb flower
appeared on her forehead.

The physician does not know
how it came to be either.

He said... he said it is a good thing.

What is good about a birthmark
that is so unpleasant to the eyes?

It makes me uncomfortable
just looking at it.

Your Highness, in my opinion,
it is a demonic flower.

How could it possibly be
a demonic flower?

This is clearly my--

Clearly what?

It is clearly a mark that

likens my recovery from
a serious illness to a rebirth.

Your Highness, listen to what she says.
It is absolutely hilarious.

Who hasn't fallen ill before
in the palace?

But only hers is like a rebirth,
and she gains a mark.

Enough.

The appearance of this thing on
your forehead is much too strange.

Your nameplate will be removed from
selection for His Majesty's night visit

in case this is something evil
that will cause harm to His Majesty.

Yes.

That was clearly just an excuse so that

Your Ladyship won't get a chance
to sleep with His Majesty.

I can't even see Dijun.
How will I repay him?

Since he won't be coming
to sleep in my chambers

then a chance encounter should work.

In Fourth Brother's storybooks

doesn't the emperor always find
his beloved by a chance encounter?

The lower in status,
the more he likes her.

Your Ladyship, what are you
staring at me for?

Yu Dang, prepare for me a set of
the same maid outfit you are wearing.

Yes.

Dijun!

I wonder what Dijun's temperament
is like in the mortal realm.

Would he be easy to get along with?

What should be the first thing
I say to him for him to remember me?

I must not be like
how I was in the Celestial Palace.

Yes, I must be dignified.

I must have the air and demeanor
of a princess of Qing Qiu.

Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty.
- Empress.

Your Majesty is heading to...

To visit Noble Consort.

Then I shall not delay Your Majesty.

He's leaving just like that?

Your Highness.

Honored Lady Chen.

What are you doing dressed as a maid?

Has Your Ladyship seen His Majesty?

It doesn't matter if you didn't see him.

I have found out His Majesty's itinerary
over the next few days.

We can follow after His Majesty.
You will eventually see him.

Empress said I am not to step foot
out of Handan Quarters.

I won't be able to see His Majesty.

You're asking me for peaches?

Do you think the peaches of
my Ten Mile Peach Tree Woods

can be had by anyone in the world?

You are right, High God.

Because of my wife's pregnancy cravings,
she is pestering me all day for peaches.

In this season, peach blossoms
are blooming everywhere

but as for peaches

I'm afraid that in heaven or on earth,
they can only be found here.

So may I dare ask that you grant me
a few peaches of immortality?

Not much. Just a few will do.

Since you have dared to ask

I mustn't be too difficult on you,
former second prince of Celestial Tribe.

After all, I am your elder.

Follow me.

Thank you, High God.

Do not thank me.

If you must, then thank
your own identity.

I am giving you a few peaches
out of respect to your father.

In the span of one day,
both Aunt and Little Princess have left.

The Fox Den that has been
lively for 300 years

has become cold and cheerless again.

It is so cold and cheerless.

She still won't give up.

My lady of the North Sea
seeks an audience with Aunt.

You come a dozen times a year.
Aren't you tired?

What? You won't even come out
of your palanquin this time?

Why bother putting on a show?

My lady is with child.
It is not easy for her to move around.

Wait!

Leave, leave! She won't see you.
I'm going to get back to my nuts.

Your Highness, although
Bai Qian of Qing Qiu is

a high goddess revered around the world

our North Sea is not
any less respectable.

Why must you see her?

I committed a wrong 300 years ago.

It has troubled me all this time.

Only by settling this matter
can I live my days in peace.

I don't understand.

Your Highness, we have a banquet
to attend in the Eastern Sea.

Let's hurry back.

I'll come again after the banquet.

Bai Qian, come sit.

Bai Qian.

A few days ago, Water King
of North Sea and his wife

came to admire my peach blossoms.

Because of pregnancy cravings, his wife
was pestering him every day for peaches.

You know that in this season

nowhere else in the world
can peaches be found except here.

Since he so shamelessly asked me for some

I found it difficult to refuse.

This peach tree woods belongs to you.
The peaches are yours as well.

There's no need to explain to me.

Look at you. Your face is already green.

It's just a few contraceptive peaches.

You gave them contraceptive peaches?

What's the matter?

You feel ashamed that I gave
the sweet couple contraceptive peaches?

Don't worry.

The contraceptive peaches
will only make their family

temporarily unable to conceive
a fifth child for a few dozen millennia.

It won't cost them much happiness,
and won't cost me too much shame.

Actually, whether they have
a fifth baby has nothing to do with me.

Then what are you still
so bothered about them for?

What I'm bothered by is if Sang Ji
hadn't canceled the engagement

then the consequent troublesome
engagement wouldn't have happened.

While I was unaware, you and Father
agreed on this engagement for me.

Now it has been 300 years.
It's becoming increasingly awkward.

Yes, the Heavenly Lord's family
loves to say vain words.

They haven't even come to see me and
your father to discuss your wedding date.

Ye Hua has now married Consort Su Jin
who is greatly favored by Heavenly Lord

and also has an imperial great-grandson.

He has even less intention of
attending to this engagement with you.

Continuing to delay like this
isn't a good option.

With Heavenly Lord having put
this engagement to the side

even if someone in this world
would like to marry you

he wouldn't dare commit
an offense against the Celestial Tribe.

Fortunately, I am in no hurry
to be married.

You can't say that.

It has been delayed for so long.

Perhaps you might become
the laughingstock of the world again.

This won't do.

I'll have to discuss this with
your parents one day.

Once I think that according to seniority,
he should address me as Aunt

and according to age,
he should address me as his senior

I just can't bring myself to be
so cruel as to fulfill this engagement.

Forget it. Let's not talk about this
shameful mess with the Celestial Tribe.

The Eastern Sea's banquet
starts tomorrow.

Sleep here tonight before
leaving for the sea tomorrow.

That was what I was thinking.

Your Fourth Brother had me make
two special jars of wine for him.

They're buried under
the tree by Jade Lake.

Dig them out before you leave
and deliver them to your Fourth Brother.

Remember, do not spill them
and do not drink them on the sly.

What wine is it that I am
not allowed to drink? How stingy.

The little wine you have here isn't
enough to fill up my small jade flask.

You really can't drink that wine.

If you want to drink some, you can
go to my Chunyang Cave tomorrow

and take as much as you can.

All right, I'll do as
you command, High God.

This small cottage has suffered
through all the elements

but it still remains standing strong

and is so clean and tidy.

Zhe Yan sure has devoted
his attention to it.

This would be perfect for digging up
those two peach blossom wines to drink.

This peach blossom wine
is for drinking on the sly.

The wine in the wine cellar of
your Chunyang Cave is for the taking.

Can't miss out on either.

Medical expertise?
Brewing wine is Zhe Yan's true expertise.

Your Highness.

Zhe Yan's Ten Mile Peach Tree Woods
is close by the Eastern Sea.

It is just ashore.

Father.

Is Ten Mile Peach Tree Woods
the residence of the mysterious high god

who has withdrawn from the three realms,
is uninvolved in worldly affairs

and has elegant tastes?

According to age, you should be
calling him your senior.

Are we going to visit an ancestor?

It's time for you to go to sleep.

Then return soon, Father.

If you gain the habit of not returning
to your chambers at night

Mother will be heartbroken.

A-Li, didn't I already tell you

- Mother won't be--
- I understand.

I will obey you on everything
except for this, Father.

I have a feeling Mother will return.

Take the young prince to his bed.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Go see if the water lily leaves
have all been arranged.

Aunt's eyes are weak. Do not allow
any glaring lights to shine through.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Sister.

What are you doing standing here?

I wanted to see Crown Prince.

Crown Prince? You know him?

A few days ago, I happened to save
the imperial great-grandson

and by chance, I met the Crown Prince.

Later on, I made a request
using this favor

and served His Highness
for ten days at his hut.

What an opportune incident.

Sister.

Could it be that
you like the Crown Prince?

Think about this carefully.

Xiwu Palace is not a place
normal people can stay in.

His main wife will be
Bai Qian of Qing Qiu.

His side consort, Su Jin

used to be a greatly favored
imperial consort of the Heavenly Lord.

With those two present, would there be
any place for you in Xiwu Palace?

The Crown Prince will be acceding
Heavenly Lord's position in the future.

How could he possibly have
only two women in his palace?

Besides, I just want to be able to
stay by the Crown Prince's side.

I'd be content just to be a maid.

Have you really made your mind?

I heard that a couple hundred years ago
during the Mermaid Clan's rebellion

Princess Lu Xiu of Chang Sea fell in love
at first sight with the Crown Prince.

However, she did not even get
a chance to get close to him.

Your looks are superior to Lu Xiu's.

Now you have even saved
the imperial great-grandson's life.

You will have an easier time
than she did.

Let me think about this.

I have an idea.

What is it?

After you perform a dance
during the banquet tomorrow

I will beseech the Crown Prince
to meet with you.

Tell him that I, your brother

am forcing you to marry
the second prince of the West Sea.

Make the second prince of
the West Sea sound like a hedonistic son

and tearfully lament to the Crown Prince.

You've saved the
imperial great-grandson's life.

I reckon the Crown Prince wouldn't stand
to see you coerced into marriage.

Be a maid first, and then later think
of a way to make him fall for you.

This is a gift.
Fresh peach blossom facial cream.

If you can capture
everybody's attention tomorrow

perhaps you will be able to succeed
and stay by the Crown Prince's side.

Thank you, Brother.
