♫ Wearing peach blossom makeup, I boil tea over the stove ♫
3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,300
♫ With a pure heart, I embroider the brocade of time ♫
4
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:31,800
♫ On the short paper, affection flows in the silent moonlight ♫
5
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,800
♫ I only wish that by my side, is my love ♫
6
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:41,600
♫ Cool autumn wind blowing, I gaze far
leaning against the railing ♫
7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,900
♫ Sunset glow over the green hill, in formation
wild geese are flying ♫

00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:50,200
♫ Covering a thousand miles on horseback,
for whom is he longing ♫
9
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,000
♫ He returned home in dreams ♫

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,700
♫ I will never forget that you held my hands ♫
11
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,200
♫ In your warm palms, we braved winds and waves ♫

00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,600
[Episode 2]
20
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:45,000
My Lord, you have performed another great feat.
21
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,300
Has His Majesty rewarded you
22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,100
with anything other than the title of Imperial Tutor?
23
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:56,800
When His Majesty proposed to confer one more title of nobility on me,
24
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,900
I turned him down.
25
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200
It's getting late.
26
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,500
[Concubine Qin]
I won't disturb you, Your Lordship and Your Ladyship.
27
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:22,200
- I should leave.
- I'll leave, too.
28
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,400
I'll excuse myself, Father.
29
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,500
My Lord. Why?
30
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,100
I asked His Majesty to lift the sea ban rather than confer a title of nobility on me.
31
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:06,800
Unless the sea ban is lifted,
32
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,300
there will always be pirates and the people won't live in peace.
33
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:12,800
My Lord,
34
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,400
you always think in the people's best interests.
35
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,300
But have you thought of me and Zhun?
36
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,200
You knew I'd been hoping
37
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,900
you'd gain one more title of nobility.
38
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,800
- Don't bring this up again.
- Don't bring this up again?
39
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,900
Do you know how hard my life is as the wife of Marquis Yongping?
40
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:40,900
Stop!
41
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Yuanniang, you weren't like this back in the day.
42
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,600
Don't you know why I became the person I am now?
43
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,600
Yuanniang! Yunniang.
44
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Her miscarriage last year
45
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,700
caused a loss of energy and blood,
46
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:27,400
and severe damage to her health.
47
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,400
She still hasn't recovered.
48
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Now, all we can do is help her survive on medicine.
49
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,500
Thank you, Imperial Doctor.
50
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:39,800
- Nanny Tao.
- Yes.
51
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,500
This way, Imperial Doctor.
52
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,600
Let my second sister-in-law
53
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,800
and Dan Yang help you with household affairs.
54
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,800
You think I'm too ill
55
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:15,500
to manage the household affairs?
56
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:21,300
Or do you think I don't deserve to be your wife?
57
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,900
You... have a good rest.
58
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,100
Your Ladyship.
59
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Did you see that?
60
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
We just reunited after such a long time.
61
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,600
But he didn't even say anything nice to me.
62
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,400
[Nanny Tao]
Your Ladyship,
63
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,200
His Lordship is just distant in nature.
64
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,700
He still cares about you.
65
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Stop saying that to console me.
66
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,600
His Lordship was born a cold person.
67
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:14,400
He expends all his energy
68
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,100
on defending our country
69
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,400
and bringing honor upon the Xu Family.
70
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,600
I only hope Zhun
71
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200
will be successful in the future.
72
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,700
Yu may be a concubine's son,
73
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,000
but he has been intelligent
74
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200
and commended often.
75
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Meanwhile, Zhun is frail
76
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,200
due to his premature birth.
77
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,700
He makes slow progress on schoolwork.
78
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:44,200
If this goes on,
79
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800
I'm afraid Yu will threaten Zhun's status
80
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,000
as the heir of the Marquis.
81
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,200
Your Ladyship, the Xu Family has always differentiated your child from the children of the concubines.
82
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
No matter how intelligent Yu is,
83
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,100
Great Madam won't let Yu steal Zhun's position.
84
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,700
Great Madam differentiates the children,
85
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:06,600
but His Lordship does not.
86
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:13,500
I was hoping he
87
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,800
would accept the reward and appease Yu,
88
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600
so Zhun could inherit his title.
89
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Now my hope is lost.
90
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400
Everything will be fine while I'm alive.
91
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:33,900
But given my health condition,
92
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,000
I must secure Zhun's future
93
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,100
before I die.
94
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,160
[Zhaoying]
95
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,739
My Lord, Her Ladyship has gone to bed.
96
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:09,700
I asked the doctor.
97
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,100
Her Ladyship's health hasn't improved,
98
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:16,500
but has declined further in recent days.
99
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:18,200
Has Imperial Physician Liu diagnosed her?
100
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,300
Yes, he has.
101
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:21,200
The physician who has been treating Her Ladyship
102
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,800
was recommended by Imperial Physician Liu.
103
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,800
My Lord, let me replace the dishes with heated ones.
104
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,300
No.
105
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Remove the dishes.
106
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,240
[The Spring Banquet]
[Mansion of Xu]
107
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,800
Marquis Yongping's Mansion was Princess Renhe's Mansion during the previous emperor's reign.
108
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,500
After Princess Renhe passed away,
109
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:25,400
the mansion was rewarded to the Xu Family.
110
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,500
Does this mean our eldest sister lives in an imperial house?
111
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,600
The previous emperor loved Princess Renhe very much.
112
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,500
Ordinary imperial houses can't compare with this mansion.
113
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:39,000
She acts as if she were the wife of the Marquis.
114
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Madam Luo.
115
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,500
Madam Luo, you're finally here.
116
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:50,400
Her Ladyship is waiting for you.
117
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,800
Come with me and meet your eldest sister.
118
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,300
Yes.
119
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:08,819
Wuniang, is this the first time you've visited our eldest sister's home?
120
00:10:08,819 --> 00:10:13,270
Mother took Erniang here a few times. This is the first time I've been here.
121
00:10:14,020 --> 00:10:16,260
This way, Madam Luo.
122
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,519
These square stone lampposts can't be found in ordinary mansions.
123
00:10:25,660 --> 00:10:27,940
Marquis Yongping's Mansion is no common house.
124
00:10:27,940 --> 00:10:30,280
It's not worth fussing about.
125
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:41,780
Wuniang and Shiyi, when you see our eldest sister and she rewards you,
126
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:43,780
just accept it gracefully.
127
00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:47,070
Don't try to decline. Don't stoop or lower your head.
128
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:49,100
Don't panic or fluster.
129
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:52,860
Don't look around or have any wild thoughts.
130
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:57,560
Erniang, Mother is here. You don't have to teach us that.
131
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,799
Mother, I didn't mean to assume your duty.
132
00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:07,959
I'm just worried that they'll forget their manners on their first trip here.
133
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:12,240
Erniang is right.
134
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,899
Today is the third day of March and the Xu Family is going to hold the spring banquet.
135
00:11:14,899 --> 00:11:18,079
The noble Xu Family has a great many guests.
136
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:22,499
Since this is your first trip here, you must stay alert. Don't make a fool of yourselves
137
00:11:22,499 --> 00:11:26,959
or bring shame upon the Luo Family and your eldest sister.
138
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:28,800
Yes.
139
00:11:38,050 --> 00:11:40,540
Madam Luo, Her Ladyship is in the room.
140
00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:42,000
After you.
141
00:11:58,140 --> 00:12:01,220
Mother, you're here.
142
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:07,820
Yuanniang, have no worry. I'm here.
143
00:12:10,540 --> 00:12:12,419
Greetings, Yuanniang.
144
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:15,239
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
145
00:12:15,239 --> 00:12:18,560
The little girls who followed me around
146
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,180
have grown into beautiful young women.
147
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,860
Yuanniang, I got this protective talisman for you at Ci'an Temple.
148
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:32,700
I'm sure it'll help you recover soon.
149
00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:41,450
The floor is cold. Get up.
150
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:45,360
You're a grown-up now.
151
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,060
How come you still cry easily like you used to do?
152
00:12:50,740 --> 00:12:53,040
Erniang, you're so thoughtful.
153
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,259
You must be Shiyi.
154
00:13:05,259 --> 00:13:07,740
Greetings, Yuanniang.
155
00:13:07,740 --> 00:13:10,920
We haven't seen each other for years.
156
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,620
You have changed so much. You're much prettier now.
157
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Nanny Tao.
158
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,000
I don't know what you like.
159
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,540
But I remembered having three presentable jade pendants,
160
00:13:32,540 --> 00:13:35,250
so I had my servants find them.
161
00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:37,550
Each of you can take one jade pendant.
162
00:13:40,140 --> 00:13:42,420
Thank you.
163
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:44,460
Pick one.
164
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,450
Go pick one. This is a gift from your eldest sister.
165
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,680
Wuniang, you can pick first.
166
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,360
Erniang, you should pick first.
167
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:07,280
Then I'd better respect your wish.
168
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,560
[Joy]
169
00:14:10,660 --> 00:14:12,540
"Joy."
170
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:14,440
It's a good sign.
171
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:17,460
You should start picking.
172
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,300
[Fertility and Luck]
173
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,800
Wuniang, what did you pick?
174
00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:43,840
The one that reads "good fortune."
175
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,619
Then Shiyi must have picked the one that reads "fertility and luck."
176
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,980
Fertility and luck. That's good fortune.
177
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:59,919
Thank you. I love it.
178
00:14:59,919 --> 00:15:01,740
Thank you.
179
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:04,000
Good to know you love the pendants.
180
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,850
You may leave.
181
00:15:05,850 --> 00:15:09,500
Your eldest sister and I need some privacy to talk.
182
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:11,440
- Yes.
- Yes.
183
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:25,600
What do you think?
184
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:33,100
Erniang probably knows I'm looking for a person to take care of Zhun.
185
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:36,439
And she has guessed that I don't want that person to be fertile and lucky.
186
00:15:36,439 --> 00:15:39,380
So she put on that act.
187
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:42,960
But it was just a petty trick.
188
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400
As for Shiyi,
189
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:49,040
I can't tell her character yet.
190
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,700
Let's wait and see.
191
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,740
Wuniang, our eldest sister's illness...
192
00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:14,200
I've always known about her poor health.
193
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,280
But when I saw her earlier today, I realized she was sicker than I'd thought.
194
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,100
I wonder what kind of disease it is that ails her so much.
195
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:28,639
Don't worry. The Xu Family will find the best doctor for her.
196
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:31,540
By the way, Erniang behaved strangely earlier today.
197
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:33,940
She has always been competitive.
198
00:16:33,940 --> 00:16:37,470
Why did she pick the jade pendant that read "joy"?
199
00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:39,440
Is my "good fortune" not good enough?
200
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,970
Or is "fertility and luck" not desirable?
201
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,420
Fertility and luck.
202
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:02,940
My Lord, Liu Yong hasn't returned to Dongnan.
[Qiao Lianfang]
203
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:06,279
It seems... Did he enter the capital?
[Qiao Lianfang]
204
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:07,560
We have no concrete evidence.
205
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,480
But there are signs of him heading to the capital.
206
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,819
How do you know?
207
00:17:11,819 --> 00:17:13,899
If none of the officials had colluded with the pirates,
208
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:17,170
Jiang Huai and Liu Yong wouldn't have escaped from my camp.
209
00:17:17,170 --> 00:17:19,200
Since Liu Yong isn't going to Dongnan,
210
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,960
he must be heading to the capital to seek help.
211
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,619
Then I'll arrange for troops to lie in ambush at the Nine Gates.
212
00:17:23,619 --> 00:17:26,470
Once he appears, we'll catch him.
213
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:31,599
We should track him rather than catch him and alert his accomplices.
214
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Marquis!
215
00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:42,099
Lianfang, what are you doing here?
216
00:17:43,340 --> 00:17:47,640
My Lord, I'll excuse myself.
217
00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:52,850
My Lord, I'll prepare toiletries.
218
00:17:55,170 --> 00:17:58,500
Lianfang, the guests are in the drawing room.
219
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:00,400
Did you take the wrong path?
220
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,359
I'll order my servants to lead you back.
221
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,600
Thank you for your concern. I didn't take the wrong path.
222
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,279
I heard from my aunt the apricot blossoms were blooming in the yard.
223
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:14,960
So I wanted to come and feel the vibrant air of spring around the apricots.
224
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,420
Then I won't disturb you.
225
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,670
Marquis, I...
226
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,400
Are you all right?
227
00:18:40,060 --> 00:18:43,339
I'm sorry, Marquis. I was being reckless.
228
00:18:43,339 --> 00:18:45,959
I have things to do. Excuse me.
229
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:00,010
I went to the temple to get a protective talisman,
230
00:19:00,010 --> 00:19:02,550
but I forgot to give it to him.
231
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:08,320
Was that our brother-in-law?
232
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,379
Only our brother-in-law is addressed as "Marquis" in Marquis Yongping's Mansion.
233
00:19:13,379 --> 00:19:16,139
I thought he only had two concubines.
234
00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:19,920
Who was the girl throwing herself at him?
235
00:19:21,140 --> 00:19:25,500
His wife is bedridden, yet he is intimate with another woman.
236
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:29,739
It seems Marquis Yongping is not a righteous man.
237
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:35,060
- Let's go.
- Go.
238
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,879
Your father's mourning period came to an end recently.
239
00:19:38,879 --> 00:19:40,820
He was going to resume his position,
240
00:19:40,820 --> 00:19:46,019
but his teacher Grand Secretary Liu retired and returned to his hometown.
241
00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:49,419
Now that he is gone, he can't support your father anymore.
242
00:19:49,419 --> 00:19:53,880
Your father will have a hard time in court.
243
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:57,140
We must not wait any longer.
244
00:19:57,980 --> 00:20:00,500
We must choose one of my younger sisters
245
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,360
for His Lordship to marry after I pass away.
246
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:06,619
Yuanniang.
247
00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:09,940
Mother, if I am gone,
248
00:20:10,660 --> 00:20:14,839
will the Xu Family still treat the Luo Family as their relatives?
249
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:19,060
Father has lost Grand Secretary Liu's support.
250
00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:21,490
If we lose the Xu Family's support,
251
00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:23,750
he'll never resume his position.
252
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,220
When Zhun loses his mother's protection
253
00:20:29,220 --> 00:20:32,080
and the Luo Family loses its power,
254
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,799
Zhun will no longer have his most reliable backer's help.
255
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:39,179
He might lose his heir status of the Marquis.
256
00:20:39,180 --> 00:20:42,060
We must plan ahead.
257
00:20:42,620 --> 00:20:47,560
Your younger sister Wuniang is already engaged.
258
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,779
And your younger sister Erniang is clever, but she is incapable
259
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,280
of anything great as you said.
260
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:59,920
She'll need the Luo Family to help her gain a foothold in the Xu Family.
261
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:03,220
People like her have an axe to grind.
262
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,859
But she won't dare to act against Zhun's interests.
263
00:21:05,859 --> 00:21:10,819
I think she qualifies as the Marquis's second wife.
264
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:14,440
You don't think Shiyi qualifies?
265
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:20,680
Shiyi has always been strong-minded
266
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,120
and she won't be controlled easily.
267
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:30,300
You mean Erniang should marry His Lordship
268
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,320
and Shiyi should marry into the Wang Family?
269
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,200
Young Madam Jiang is the eldest daughter of Wang Family.
270
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Her younger brother Wang Yu is infamous.
271
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,800
Finding a wife for him has been difficult.
272
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,900
By marrying Shiyi into the Wang Family,
273
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:53,100
we secure a marriage between Zhun
274
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:55,000
and a lady of the Jiang Family.
275
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,200
Once he marries a lady of the Jiang Family,
276
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,600
he'll be able to rely on his powerful relatives.
277
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,100
No matter which one of my younger sisters marries His Lordship,
278
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:08,800
Qiao Lianfang will stand as the biggest hindrance.
279
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,300
You are here.
280
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,700
Great Madam.
281
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:16,400
We have many guests today.
282
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,400
I hope you'll forgive me
283
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,700
if you ever find the reception unsatisfactory.
284
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:22,600
[Madam Qiao]
You're too kind.
285
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,500
But I'm not an outsider. You don't have to be formal with me.
286
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,000
You are right.
287
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Where is Lianfang? Why isn't she here?
288
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Great Madam.
289
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,800
Great Madam.
290
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,400
Pardon me for arriving late.
291
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,200
You are not late.
292
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,500
I'm honored that you came.
293
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:48,200
Come here. Meet them.
294
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,000
This is my cousin, the third concubine of Duke Cheng.
295
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,800
She has brought her daughter Lianfang here.
296
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,200
Coincidentally, Lianfang is the same age as your daughters.
297
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,000
Are you talking about me, Aunt?
298
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,400
Look.
299
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,300
Speak of the devil.
300
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Greetings, Great Madam.
301
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Come here.
302
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Lianfang, I invited your favorite Huayin Troupe here.
303
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,100
You can ask them to perform whatever opera you want to watch.
304
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:37,300
Thank you for your kind gesture.
305
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:41,400
Aunt, you look fabulous today.
306
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,400
Is your headache getting better?
307
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,600
I'm glad that you care about me.
308
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,800
I followed the prescription you gave me the other day.
309
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,000
Finally, I had a few nights of sound sleep.
310
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,200
You have no idea
311
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,800
how much trouble she went through
312
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,700
for the folk prescription.
313
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:06,000
These are my daughters.
314
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,100
Greet the Madams.
315
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:10,600
Greetings, Madams.
316
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,600
Look how pleasing these girls are.
317
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:21,600
Madam Luo, you're so lucky.
318
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,200
I used to be proud of my daughters.
319
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,400
But after I saw young ladies of various families,
320
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,900
I learned what real highborn ladies look like.
321
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:33,600
You girls should learn from them.
322
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,900
- Yes.
- Yes.
323
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:36,400
Don't be so modest.
324
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,900
I think your girls are good.
325
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:45,000
They are just as cultured as Yuanniang.
326
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,800
All right. Enjoy your stay here.
327
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,600
I'll greet the guests at Dianchun Hall.
328
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Take a seat.
329
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:25,000
Lady Qiao, is my makeup messed up
330
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,400
or is there something wrong with my outfit?
331
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,400
Why are you staring at me like that?
332
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,300
No reason. I'm just looking around.
333
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,600
This is the hairpin rewarded to us by the Noble Consort.
334
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,200
Wear it properly.
335
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,600
You must be Madam Luo.
336
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,400
Young Madam Jiang.
337
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,300
Young Madam Jiang?
338
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:16,000
She is the elder sister of Wang Yu the playboy.
339
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Is she here to see us?
340
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:22,400
Come on.
341
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,200
Let's see if my cousin needs anything.
342
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,100
Madam Luo, Yuanniang and I are as close as sisters.
343
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:40,700
We should communicate more in the future.
344
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,400
You're too kind, Young Madam Jiang.
345
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,400
This is Young Madam of the Jiang Family in Le'an.
346
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,600
Young Madam Jiang.
347
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,900
The Luo Family has distinct young ladies.
348
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,200
Every one of them is talented and beautiful.
349
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,800
I wouldn't go as far as to call them talented and beautiful.
350
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,800
They are just literate
351
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,000
and able to do some needlework.
352
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,200
Your handkerchief is exquisite.
353
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,800
Did you make the embroidery yourself?
