("After the Ugly Concubine Divorced, She is Wooed By Big Shots of the Capital.")

=Episode 14=

What is he doing here?

Did he also come to lend support

to Miss Chuxia?

I heard First Young Lady Ling is quite close

with this cousin of hers.

Nonsense! Who cares about cousins?

Just recently,

he and Uncle ganged up to trick me.

I'm going to teach him a lesson.

Your Highness.

You must not do that.

Think about it.

If you're able to win Mr. Baili's approval,

wouldn't that score you more points with Miss Ling?

You mean to say

that I should aim to please him?

That's right.

You're so smart, Luoluo. I'll do just that.

How come Chuxia isn't here yet?

Relax, Your Highness.

Since Miss Ling's cousin Mr. Baili

is already here,

I reckon the lady is on her way.

The Lantern Festival is most opportune.

I will use this chance

to express my feelings to Chuxia.

Dear...

cousin.

It's you, Lord Ming.

Your Highness is no longer attached to Chuxia.

It's not good to address me as "cousin."

Mr. Baili.

Are you here to bet on Chuxia, too?

Bet?

My bet is on Yu Luoluo winning.

And also Ling Chuxia!

No one bets on two persons.

You can only choose one.

Now, now. What do you guys know?

A bunch of idiots.

Princess Ziyuan.

Yue is here, too.

I thought you didn't like crowds.

I guess it's because a certain someone is here.

Chuxia,

Princess Ziyuan worried I might be bored at home.

Don't think too much.

Sure, sure, I know.

I won't tease you.

I hope you didn't take it to heart. I spoke without thinking.

It's okay.

Am I late?

The riddles contest hasn't started, right?

You're not late.

You came just at the right time.

Chuxia, are you thirsty?

Let me pour you some water.

Some water for you.

Here.

It's fine.

Drink...

This tea is quite good.

Thank you, Ziyan.

Hang on, Uncle.

I poured it for Chuxia.

You two tricked me the last time, didn't you?

It wasn't a marriage proposal.

Tricked you, how?

Our feelings are mutual.

Can't you tell?

(Liang Junye's acting has become so convincing.)

You're bluffing.

You two are surely pretending.

Hey...

There are more female visitors here.

Why don't we find a seat somewhere else?

I'm not going, Uncle.

I...

Come on.

I want to sit with Chuxia and Luoluo.

Let's go.

Chuxia, Luoluo, save me!

Let's go.

(Preceptor Yu)

Participants, please come to the stage to draw lots.

Ling Chuxia!

With me here, you can forget about winning.

Why aren't you taking part, Princess?

I wasn't planning on attending the event at all.

I'll just spectate alongside you.

I see.

(One)

Uncle.

You don't mind me choosing first, right? Thanks.

(One)

(Two)

(I know this one.)

Ling Chuxia, you were kicked out of the family.

How dare you show your face in public?

That looked painful.

You bootlicker.

You wish to win the lantern riddles contest?

Don't make me laugh.

I'm going to beat you.

First Young Lady Ling is quite amusing.

She's straightforward and never bothered by rules and customs.

That's right.

She's always been like this,

free and easy by nature, never complaining.

Unlike me,

wallowing in self-pity.

Mr. Baili has excellent chess skills and extraordinary intelligence.

You shouldn't be tied down by your condition.

Moreover, First Young Lady Ling is a skilled physician.

She'll surely be able to cure you.

Let's hope so.

I wouldn't want to let Chuxia down.

Gold.

Answer is correct.

Flower.

Answer is incorrect.

A constant rustling sound.

Love and affection are in my heart.

A union on water.

It's hard to hide a smile from others.

Guess a kind of bird.

Bird?

Mountain chicken?

Wild duck.

Quail!

What is it?

A constant rustling sound.

A constant rustling sound.

Constant...

A pair, now and forever.

The answer is mandarin duck.

I know none of the answers.

Luoluo, you're unbelievable.

Give me a hint.

Let me get one right.

Eyes.

Eyes.

That riddle has been solved.

I wasn't answering it.

Three-day spring tour.

Human.

Answer is correct.

(Gold, wood, water, fire. Guess one word.)

♪Morning glows through the window as I lazily get ready♪

♪Whose young lad is that, sitting idly on the porch?♪

♪The spring of plum blossoms intoxicates, apricot flowers bloom gold in the mist♪

♪Rain falls gently on banana leaves, fish play beneath the lotus pads♪

♪Gazing at the green mountains, they blend into the distant horizon♪

♪The wild geese call out, sharing their heartfelt thoughts♪

♪Looking at the bright moon, sending thoughts of longing♪

♪Neither burdening nor forgetting♪

♪At sunset, the sound of Zen echoes♪

♪Sweeping away the dust and frost from the heart♪

♪Holding hands with the one who knows me best, we face each other♪

♪Gazing at the green mountains, they blend into the distant horizon♪

♪The wild geese call out, sharing their heartfelt thoughts♪

♪Looking at the bright moon, sending thoughts of longing♪

♪Neither burdening nor forgetting♪

♪Watching the smoke gently rise♪

♪We share the long, leisurely years together♪

♪Free and content♪

♪The greatest joy in life is the beautiful springtime♪
