Nine-Part Rhyme by Ye Xuan Qing

♫ Time is like a shuttle which just passed by but comes back right away ♫

♫ Feeling is like silk that we're unaware of how entangled it has become ♫

♫ Weave a piece of glamorous ornamentation ♫

♫ With both of our deep loves ♫

♫ It's hard to entrust this love-sickness to someone ♫

♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone ♫

♫ With your name seal carved into my heart ♫

♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon to weave spring silk ♫

♫ Which cannot be cut but is mingled forever and ever ♫

The Eternal Love

Episode 13

Crown Prince is so busy tending to official matters, how can you find time to come to my place?

As the old saying goes, "Brotherly relationships are more important than a country."

You and I normally help Royal Father tend to official matters, today since you have a problem

can't I come and be concerned and help you?

I think you are worried about someone else.

What do you mean?

8th Prince, please don't take offense.

It's not like we didn't want to come see you before. It's just that we've been very busy with official matters,

but the Crown Prince has only just been crowned. We really couldn't get away.

We heard that my poor sister has been sick and bedridden for days.

Now that we have some time, we came to see you both.

The Crown Princess sure is honest and kindhearted.

Although I'm not talented, I can still protect my own woman.

8th Brother, could it be, you think that I had something to do with Tan'er being harmed?

Whether it's true or not, you know it best.

8th Brother, I am the Crown Prince

and you are only a royal prince. I think you should

change your attitude, before the day I become King!

So what if you are the Crown Prince?

Crown Prince, I think you should look at some books

and see how many Crown Princes in history have been deposed!

Don't spend all your energy on me

and let a cooked duck fly away. (T/N: count your chickens before they're hatch).

It's getting late. Princess Consort's illness isn't all that serious.

If there is nothing else you should leave.

8th Prince, the Crown Prince personally came and visited you both.

It's fine that you're not thankful. Instead, you insult us.

To think we've even brought you a present.

Only our Crown Prince can take the top position.

You are a smart person so you should understand.

I think

what the Crown Princess means is that since the Crown Prince married you

he's become a coward.

You--

This is such a valuable gift,

I think it best if you keep it for yourselves.

It's already late. I won't walk you two out anymore.

With whom the deer will end up with, let's wait and see.

You're thinking about her again? I've done so much for you,

followed all your words, followed your every instruction.

- Yet I still can't compare with her position in your heart-- - Enough.

You have no right to be compared to her.

Mo Yi Huai. You better know

I am your legal Crown Princess.

Qu Pan'er,

the two of us are just using each other.

If you keep interfering in my matters,

don't blame me if I don't consider us as husband and wife.

You are... Miss Qu?

She... I'm saying... did she summon you out?

The Crown Prince came before.

Do you blame me for not letting you see the Crown Prince?

I don't dare to.

Right now I am your Consort.

I don't dare meet up with the Crown Prince,

further more the Crown Prince

is no longer the old Mo Yi Huai.

His whole heart is filled with obtaining the Royal Throne

and other grand ambitions.

I think

that he wouldn't want to see me anymore either.

Yes,

I never thought things would become like this.

Previously, when Royal Father forced this marriage on us, both of us were the same,

both had no other choice.

In all of the things that have passed,

it's a good thing Xiao Tan is here or else the days would

be so hard to endure.

Xiao Tan?

Is Xiao Tan her name?

She is very interesting. She's not gentle and virtuous like you.

And she doesn't know how to play the zither, play chess, read any literary works, or paint.

She doesn't even act as like a daughter from a noble family at all.

That's right, she is very unique.

Ever since Mo Yi Huai abandoned me

my heart has already died.

It's all thanks to Xiao Tan

that I am even able to drag this body to live an ignoble life.

All living things have their fate.

Don't force it.

What's the update on the matter I told you two to investigate?

Informing Master, we found news of Liu Qianshui appearing in Dong Yue.

This old man that just won't die, what was he doing in Dong Yue?

There is a woman named Qu Tan'er in Dong Yue kingdom's 8th Prince Manor.

She became unconscious due to grave injuries.

Liu Qianshui went to cure her and that lady has just miraculously survived.

Are you saying Qu Tan'er

is the person we are looking for?

I think it is possible

or else Liu Qianshui wouldn't have wasted that much effort on the lady.

Immediately investigate that girl. If you are able to confirm it,

immediately eliminate her.

- Yes, I understand. - Yes, I understand.

The seal is slowly weakening and the fulfillment of my grand ambition to dominate the world will be happening soon.

If any of you will delay this,

I'll make sure you'll be unable to be reincarnated forever!

- I don't dare. - I don't dare.

Queen Dowager's decree! The Princess Zhao Qingyun

being gentle, refined, virtuous, and with good morals is

specially bestowed as the Second Princess Consort of 8th Prince, Mo Lian Cheng. The wedding will be completed within this month.

Just let me go in! 8th Sister-in-law!

8th Sister-in-law.

8th Sister-in-law, look at Yu Hao.

As if I would eat you if I come in here.

Princess Consort, the Prince has instructed that no one must visit you without his order.

Since the Royal Physician is here, let us just let him do the examination

and then make a decision. Yu Hao, you can leave first.

Yes.

Royal Physician, how is my recovery?

Princess Consort's pulse is very steady and stable.

You are alright now. I'll just prescribe some medicinal soup

to recuperate. Your body and you will slowly and fully continue to recover.

Jing Xin.

8th Sister-in-law, you have suffered these past days.

If you want, I can take you out.

The 8th Prince won't allow it.

8th Prince is so busy in marrying his Second Princess Consort. How can he have the time to bother with us?

8th Sister-in-law, you probably didn't know...

I was too talkative.

Could it be that Prince is really marrying Qing Yun?

The marriage is the Queen Dowager's will.

8th Prince also has no way to refuse it.

Only by doing this, can 8th Prince get the support of Duke Anle.

In the end, us women

are just tools for men in their fight for power.

It's not like that. 8th brother is different around you. Even I can see that.

The person that he likes, isn't me.

Alright. Let's not talk about these things.

Oh, yes. How come I haven't seen Yin Xiang Nong lately?

What happened?

You probably don't know.

It was her who caused you to fall into the pond last time.

After 8th Brother found out about it, he was so angry and already had her...

Now that I think about it,

we hadn't really had any past grudges or any fights lately.

So why would she do that to me?

I heard someone told her to do it.

Whoever that was, the Prince is still investigating it.

8th Prince Manor is already like this.

You can already imagine what it is like in the Inner Palace.

Jing Xin!

I'm coming! I'm coming!

What is it, Xiao Tan?

What are they doing outside with all that banging?

Are they going to let me sleep or not?

Isn't it because Zhao Qing Yun is marrying into the manor already?

Since yesterday, they have been doing grand renovations within our manor.

They say it's some kind of preparation for the wedding.

They have caused such a huge disturbance here in our manor.

I haven't come out for a few days!

This green tea bitch dared to intensify her attack?! (Two-faced )

Let us see who dares to challenge me on my turf?!

- Let's go. - Wait Xiao Tan, when you go out, please don't fight. Aiyo,

if you want to fight then don't injure anyone.

- Let's go! - I have something else to say.

It's okay if you injure someone, but please don't kill anyone.

Why do you have so many conditions?!

Hurry up and get someone to help me change!

Yes!

That's right, move the lamp right there.

Hurry and go up there.

This Mo Lian Cheng, he's really daring to marry a Second Princess Consort and then bring her home?!

I will deal with him later!

Safety first. Safety first.

Butler Zhu, you come over here!

You brought men to make so much noise here,

it has severely affected the life within this 8th Prince Manor!

What kind of behavior is that?!

Princess Consort, please be understanding. This is a wedding conferred by the Queen Dowager. I was just--

Stop using the Queen Dowager to shut me up! Queen Dowager indeed ordered a Second Princess Consort to marry into this manor.

- But did the Queen Dowager told you to bring some men to disrupt my life?! - This...

The Dong Yue Kingdom has always promoted being frugal.

Look at what you are doing,

carved beams and painted rafters, totally extravagant!

The citizens are now suffering. What is this that you are doing?

What is being advocated now is to be people-oriented,

environmental protective, and being a neighborhood community center.

Is what you are doing environmentally friendly? Is it green? Harmonious with nature?!

Such a foul atmosphere...

The formaldehyde is seriously beyond the accepted level. Be careful that the owner doesn't sue you!

I will give you 1 hour to get all these people out of here

or else I will fire you!

Yes, may the Princess Consort calm down...

- Go, go, go! Everyone leave! - Get out!

Go, go. go! Everyone leave!

Go go go go go.

Mo Lian Cheng! You bastard!

Mo Lian Cheng! You still have the audacity to read?

The number of messes you have done is already enough to write a book!

Tan'er! Tan'er, what scene are you making?

I'm making a scene?! You are already marrying your mistress into our house already!

And you say that I'm making a scene?!

Xiao Tan!

Tan'er!

Are you being jealous right now?

I am not! I just can't stand that bitch

happily getting what she wished for!

Tan'er, she is just a concubine. She won't affect our relationship.

I don't care! You said you would only love me,

so you can't marry any other woman!

Tan'er!

Do you know how upset I am because of this?

Jing Xin.

Take Princess Consort back to her room and let her behave for a few days.

Yes.

You! Mo Lian Cheng, you bastard!

Heartbreaker!

You bastard!

Mo Lian Cheng, if you dare marry her,

don't ever think about seeing me again!

Cheng Cheng, that bastard, actually dared to have an affair?!

This is something men keep quiet and women weep.

What does that mean?

It means men keep silent while their women cry.

From today on, I won't see him again.

Let him experience what it feels like to lose favor.

But Xiao Tan...

Anyway, starting today, I won't see him anymore.

I am going into seclusion!

Oh yeah, bring some short stories.

Short stories?

Just things that will cast off the boredom.

It's going to be hard to get through days without Cheng Cheng.

Oh yes, I almost forgot.

When you were unconscious, that old carpenter came.

He was the one who cured you.

He left an address at that time,

should we go look for him?

He was the one who saved me?

He also said some things to the 8th Prince,

and then the 8th Prince believed what you said.

It looks like I missed out on a lot of things.

Xiao Tan... Should we go look for him?

Of course, we should. Alright, let's go.

It's here.

Xiao Tan, that person seems to be that old carpenter that saved you last time.

That is not an old carpenter.

He is totally an old weirdo.

Hello, Old Weirdo.

Am I old?

Do you want to eat some together?

How's your recovery?

I'm a lot better. Thank you.

Old Weirdo, where did you come from?

Modern era?

What is the modern era?

But you... can... take a guess.

I think you came from the same place as me.

You have guessed...

it right. I am an old weirdo.

How can I come from the same place as you?

Then do you know how I can go back to my original world?

You want to go back to your original world?

Only by being at ease can your steps be light and graceful.

If your heart is clear, everything will be clear.

If your heart is impure, everything will become dark.

If your heart is obsessed, everything will become confusing.

If your heart is enlightened, everything can be meditated upon.

Talk human words!

Oh, if you want to go back, you have to get the Soul Suppressing Orb.

Soul Suppressing Orb? What is that?

It's is a treasure.

It is related to several worlds.

Calculating it,

this Soul Suppressing Orb will be showing up very soon.

And you might be

the owner of it.

I don't quite understand that.

It's fine if you don't understand it now.

Maybe in the future you will understand it.

Stop lying to me! I have read a lot of short stories online.

By that time, everything is already too late!

Those things that you read... although I didn't understand anything,

But I can tell you it won't be too late.

Oh yes, I have

a Wandering Spirit Flute.

There is also a musical score here.

Take it.

Wait...

This is not an ordinary musical composition.

As your magical power increases,

its power will also become stronger.

Take it and practice whole heartily.

You might be able to use it in the future.

After I become proficient at playing this Wandering Spirit Flute,

will I then be able to return to my original world?

Maybe, probably, most likely, more or less,

8 to 9 out of 10 chances.

Oh, my, my cooking is getting burned!

Xiao Tan, I have never seen you so annoyed before.

Yeah, who knew liking someone is so bothersome.

Don't say that, you still have me.

Jing Xin, if I ever leave, will you miss me?

Xiao Tian, that is not a big bother.

The Prince still likes you.

You shouldn't be saddened.

I also can't stay in one body with Tan'er forever, right?

I have to think of a way to go back to my own world.

But Xiao Tan... I don't want you to leave.

You just won't grow up.

Aren't I still here?

Jing Xin, go pick some flowers.

What are you going to do with the flowers?

When I tell you to go, just go.

[Melody of Farewell ]

So strange. I clearly don't understand the symbols on the musical score.

How come when I place it by my mouth,

I'm able to play it naturally?

These things that old weirdo gave me are indeed extraordinary.

Jing Xin, didn't I tell you not to come back too quickly?

Don't worry I won't commit suicide.

Hi...

Crown Prince, hello.

No need for formalities. Why is 8th Princess Consort not in your manor recuperating

but instead coming deep within this mountain and wild forest?

Aren't you also here? Why did you come here?

Stop wasting words and answer my question.

Why not let them see each other. That's fairer.

Mo Lian Cheng, I hate you so much, you bastard.

Greetings, Crown Prince.

Okay already, Didn't you already pay your respect to me earlier?

No need to be polite with me.

I'm sure that you already know about

8th Little Brother marrying Zhao Qing Yun.

I just found out recently.

What is your opinion about it then?

Looking at you so upset makes me upset too.

Do you know

all these years, my working hard, is for you.

Why is Crown Prince saying this?

I am already the 8th Princess Consort. Please act accordingly.

Mo Lian Cheng is just a defeated opponent of mine.

He was unable to best me for the Crown Prince position.

It's the same this time.

I will steal you from his hands sooner or later.

Then what am I?

Your war token? Just for royal power,

you both didn't mind putting me in dangerous situations.

You clearly are just thinking about royal power,

how can you say it's all for me?

I am doing all this just to be with you.

Tan'er... you have to believe me.

You already are not that Brother Yi Huai from the past,

and I am no longer the old Qu Tan'er.

Our love

has already left with that old Mo Yi Huai

and they disappeared together.

You haven't changed at all, all these years.

You are still fragrant and adorable like these flowers.

There will come a day that I will steal you back.

When the flower has left the soil, it will wither.

Even if it is still fragrant outside,

it won't be able to return to how it was in the past anymore.

I'm not playing anymore. I just get more annoyed the more I play it.

Princess Consort.

Are you still mad?

How about we go out and take a walk?

I don't want to see those two showing off their syrupy sweetness!

Then I will leave.

Wait, Jing Xin.

What is Mo Lian Cheng doing right now?

He is drinking with the guests.

Then what is his expression like?

Is he happy or upset?

I think he is pretty happy.

He is even playing hand games with those people.

That beast!

You can leave first. I want to calm down.

Oh.

This bastard! Rascal! Beast!

White-eyed wolf! Chen Shimei!

Playboy! Stinky womanizer!

Heartbreaker!

Right now

Cheng Cheng must be inside his wedding chamber already.

I am drawing a circle and cursing you!

Didn't I tell you not to come, why did you come again?

8th Princess Consort, such huge anger.

Cheng Cheng!

Really good, you groom! You're not going through your wedding ceremony

but instead bringing me the red cover of your bride for what?

I prepared this especially for you.

I wanted to prepare a wedding of our own.

♫ Idling and circling around ♫

Tan'er... let us be together... forever in this lifetime.

Grow old together.

♫ Wanted to say them but can't put out any words ♫

♫ I hate that when we meet, we won't recognize each other ♫

♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone ♫

♫ With your name seal carved into my heart ♫

♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon to weave spring silk♫

♫ which cannot be cut but is mingled forever and ever ♫

Let's never be apart again.

Hey, I have something to say.

You're over here so what's going to happen over there?

There, I already asked Jing Xuan to do the ceremony on my behalf.

How can there be a double for the groom?

Even in my world, we don't do that.

The wedding with Qing Yun was granted by the Queen Dowager.

If someone must go through the ceremony, then let the Queen Dowager do it.

No matter if it is Zhao Qing Yun, Li Qing Yun, or Wang Qing Yun,

I only want to do a wedding ceremony with you and no one else.

This classmate, we should be clear about something first.

There are two people in my body.

One is the gentle and refined Qu Tan'er.

One is the thick-skinned me.

You couldn't be wanting both, right?

I only want you.

And I only want to marry you.

What is it?

I feel dizzy.

Hurry, let's go back to the bed.

How is it?

Where is this? What are you doing?

Prince, a man and woman shouldn't be this close.

I'm Qu Tan'er. It'd be best to keep a distance.

Alright.

You're also my consort.

I was wrong, I was wrong! I surrender.

You... won't be able to escape my palm.

Because in this world, there is only one Qu Xiao Tan.

This Qu Xiao Tan that's full of nonsense and lies.

The Qu Xiao Tan that I want to use the rest of my life

to love and protect.

Stay by my side forever, alright?

I don't believe your words! Who doesn't know how to sweet talk?

I still do know how to judge such matters.
