♫ Flowers falling by the river again Turning the clear waves red ♫

♫ Sparrows singing in celebration ♫

♫ Calm years pass by the silent bustling city Sitting at home ♫

♫ No one knows love's outline like I do ♫

♫ If one day the river breeze blows again ♫

♫ I won't be a mere reflection in the mirror ♫

♫ Dreams can shatter; Memories remain ♫

♫ Rich fragrance aids; Light ink writes ♫

♫ In the deep red windows lies mundane dust ♫

TITLE

[Episode 12]

Wait a moment.

Honey. Do you still remember that ruffian who impersonated you?

I remember.

Nanny Li said our marriage certificate
was lost during the move.

I saw the certificate the ruffian had,
but I didn't find anything unusual.

Thinking it over, it's probably ours.

It doesn't matter.

How can it not matter? That's not just a marriage agreement.

It also has both our names on it.

If it's a man with the same name, as long as it's not you, Cui Jiu,

it holds no meaning.

I truly hate that scoundrel,

for daring to steal your name and taint our names.

I mean I've asked the authorities.

That marriage certificate isn't ours.

Is that so?

That's a relief.

Don't get upset over this.

You're not healthy enough.

While I'm away, do more of what you enjoy.

Don't foolishly wait for me. Okay?

I will. I'll run the business well,

visit my family and...

wait for you to return.

Take care.

Dear.

♫ With spring flowers and autumn moon,
I searched the yard thoroughly ♫

♫ Before the wind comes,
they've already withered ♫

♫ In this world, we read
each other's mind for nothing ♫

♫ But no fate ♫

♫ Too young to appreciate the moon;
Too full to suffer from lacking ♫

♫ Never parted with the fleeting breeze
and people ♫

♫ A glance that lingers ♫

♫ I wander alone in the wilderness,
with many years ahead ♫

♫ Just waiting for you to see me ♫

♫ Knowing this longing,
why do I write so resolutely ♫

Let's go.
[Cui Mansion]

♫ If the knot in my heart
waits for you to untangle ♫

♫ The fallen leaves of memory
wait for you to pick up ♫

♫ Waiting for that moment,
facing each other without words ♫

♫ Like all the fleeting encounters
in this world ♫

- Enjoy, enjoy!
- Come on.

- Please.
- Come on.

- Please.
- Please.

Xingzhou.

A toast to you.

Uncle, you're drunk.

Why do you still call me uncle?

You should call me father instead.

You fool! How dare you be disrespectful?

Why are you being so distant?

It's more intimate this way. Right?

This drunkard. Talking nonsense here.

Let me apologize to you for him.

The wedding is this month.

I can't wait to hear Binglan call me mother.

Xingzhou has waited three years
to hear her call him honey.

Isn't that right, Xingzhou?

Honey.

The poor child has been eagerly waiting
to see Binglan.

He can't see her for days. Once the six rituals are complete,

Once the six rituals are complete, on the day of the wedding,

they'll finally meet.

Our mansion is fortunate to have a princess
like Binglan from a matching family,

with wisdom and grace.

This is truly a perfect union
and a grand celebration.

You've always had your own ideas.

How do you plan to organize your wedding?

A wedding for Lord Huaiyang

should be as grand and lively as possible.
- Yes.

Come on. Let's drink. Let's drink.

- Congratulations!
- Thank you. Thank you.

My Lord, here are wedding clothes
in patterned silk,

silk tapestry, feathered fabric,

and gambiered Canton silk.

Which one do you prefer?

Any of them will do.

- Dried fruits. Take it.
- Thanks.

Look at these dried fruits.

Madam, why are you suddenly buying fabric? To make clothes?

Not for clothes.

Dried fruits.

[Fabric Store]

- Shopkeeper.
- Coming. Madam.

I'd like to choose a red fabric with gold embroidery that's resistant to decay.

Red with gold. Resistant to decay. May I ask what it's for?

Marriage certificate.

My Lord?

My Lord?

It's done, My Lord.

My Lord.

This is the gift list sent by the steward.

Please review it.

[Pure Copper Buddha Statue,
Wang Ximeng's Landscape Painting]

[Ginseng, Salvia, Fallopia multiflora]

My Lord, is there anything else you need?

- A cart of high-end charcoal.
- Alright.

- And several hand warmers.
- Yes.

And at least a month's supply
of mugwort and garden balsam stem.

Clothing, fur coats, felt socks, and shoes

should be prepared after confirming the sizes with Nanny Li.

My Lord, are you preparing for the wedding,

or settling...

Or settling Ms. Liu?

Rest assured, My Lord. I'll take care of these things.

When Ms. Liu returns to Beizhou,
Nanny Li and Fan Hu will look after her.

Prepare the carriage.

- To Lingquan?
- To Zhao Quan's place.

Yes.

You're about to get married,
winning the beauty.

So why are you like a solitary figure?

I envy you, though.

At least Cousin Lian is committed to you alone.

No.

She's committed to the position
as the Princess.

That's still faithful.

At least she didn't run away before the wedding,

leaving you in disgrace.

If she had someone else in her heart,

we'd truly be brothers in misfortune.

Come here.

Compared to you, I'm very content.

If you're content, why did you ask me to drink?

I'm thirsty.

Be honest with me.

Do you feel guilty abandoning Liu Miantang?

It was all just a show from the start.

Now that everything is back on track. Why would I feel guilty?

- If I continued deceiving her...
- You're still guilty after all.

True.

Sending Liu Miantang back to her family,

without holding her past, and freeing her,

is indeed a great kindness from you.

Anyway, Liu Miantang is happy.

When she reaches Beizhou and receives that letter,

learning the harsh truth,

no matter how stormy her emotions,
she won't be able to confront you.

This move is truly brilliant.

I admit it.

I don't dare face her for a farewell,

nor do I dare to explain everything in person.

Then why did you let her go?

Even if you kept her around, with Cousin Lian's temperament,<

there wouldn't be any trouble.

Without any choice,
the crab apple blossoms have fallen.

The swallows return,

familiar yet new.

Madam, the wind is strong.

With the medicine on, go rest quickly.

Nanny Li.

Did you prepare the robes, and the charcoal stove as I asked?

Yes, everything is ready.

Tomorrow, Moru will deliver them to the master.

This is the first time he's been away for so long.

I wonder if he's adjusting well to life on the mountain.

I heard that Go masters tend to be quite eccentric.

I hope he isn't having a hard time.

Moru will take care of the master.

Follow the master's wishes, and go visit your family in Beizhou at ease.

Spend some quality time at your grandpa's home.

When that time comes...

What?

By then, the master

should have returned home.

Lately, my right eyelid keeps twitching.

I can't shake this uneasy feeling.

Well, you must be exhausted from working

in the shop these past few days.

You should rest earlier.

Madam, the carriage and luggage for Beizhou are all prepared.

We can set off anytime.

I don't want to go to Beizhou now.

Why not?

There's still something unfinished here.

I'm Shi Yikuan, Chief Commander of Qingzhou.Greetings, My Lord.

General Shi.

Please come in.

My Lord. [Soldier Documents]

Thirteen thousand men have been enlisted.

Those unwilling for service, of old age or frailty have been sent back home.

From now on, our country is free from the worries of Mount Yang.

General, your meticulous work has been invaluable.

I will surely speak for you to the Empress Dowager.

A promotion is in your future.

Ziyu is already my future son-in-law.

The Mount Yang issue is practically a family matter now.

Besides, as a military man, if it weren't for your guidance,

I wouldn't have thought of such a perfect plan to pacify Mount Yang and gain a son-in-law.

However, Ziyu once was...

General, I hold Ziyu in high regard.

He comes from the underworld,

but as they say, heroes are not defined by their origins.

Yes.

My Lord.

Does your admiration stem from official duty or personal affection?

The court desires to reduce the power of regional governors,

starting with those not of royal blood.

If someone from Zhenzhou insists on being rebellious,

then our loyalty will make us virtuous officials.

When the time comes, General, you'll be a favored minister, and I will also be blessed.

For both public and personal reasons, our goals align, General.

our goals align, General.

Our goals align.

Miss, are you still managing?

Why not let me carry more of it?

- Careful yourself. Don't run!

If it drops...

- Slow down!
- Sorry!

- Sorry! Sorry! - What should we do?

Stop running!

Mr. Ziyu.

I thought I saw you earlier but wasn't sure.

What a coincidence.

You really like that crimson.

You just bought it, and you're holding it.

It's for my sister.

What about yours?

I have enough clothes. No need for more.

I'll wait for my sister.

- Help her with it.
Yes.

I wouldn't dare trouble you. Our family's carriage is just ahead.

No trouble at all. I'll escort you.

The market here is quite lively.

Is there anything you like? Feel free to choose.

A proper lady should stay within her bounds.

I only came out to buy things. It's best not to linger.

There are many candy vendors along the way.

They must be popular among young ladies.

Would you like to try some?

Thank you.

But my mother always taught me that street food is improper.

You should adhere to those teachings.

Forgive my presumptuousness.

Take it. Careful. - Come back.

Go. Let's go home and eat.

Take a look.

Come on.

Want some?
- Yes.

This is heavy. Take it over there.

Thank you for your help today.

Slow down.

Zhuwen. What's this?

Mr. Lu bought two bolts of fine patterned silk.

I think they're prettier than that crimson one.

I've heard that you're highly favored at home.

I must do my best to ensure you aren't wronged.

Don't lose the rouge you just bought.

Thank you, Young Master.

What... What are you doing?

I...

Maintain your distance.

My sister is about to be married, and you can't afford to offend her fiance.

Are you mad? How dare you walk with a strange man?

This..
- If that bandit sees this, who knows how he'll punish you?

Sister, he...

The bandit?

Miss Shi, is that what you call me?

Sister, this is Mr. Ziyu from Mount Yang.

[Jinchen Tea]

Congratulations, Miss.

Your wish is finally coming true.

At the auspicious hour today, the Lord will personally deliver the gift list,

showing his respect and esteem for you.

Cousin Xingzhou has always been thoughtful and considerate towards me.

Of course.

Once the gift list arrives, only the wedding ceremony remains.

Miss, after today, you'll no longer be my lady.

I will have to start calling you Princess.

The auspicious hour approaches.
It's time to depart.

[Betrothal Gift List]

Go wait for me.

Yes.

This pattern of twin lotuses is exquisite.

The colors are perfect,
creating a sense of white and cyan.

How elegant and pure.

Yushao Porcelain Shop.

I remember this shop.

They made the fish bowl with Tancho Kohaku
in the courtyard.

Is the owner here today?

I am here.

I didn't expect the owner to be a woman.

Only someone as talented and refined as you
could create such beautiful porcelain.

Indeed.

You're too kind.

I was inspired by the Lord's wedding,

and only with such best wishes could I craft this vase.

I wish the Lord and his future Princess everlasting peace,

like the twin lotuses, united forever, staying together, with many kids and blessings.

Well said.

What a clever and charming girl.

The Consort Dowager likes your porcelain.

You...

Please instruct anything.

No need to bother.

Why?

Consort Dowager, the Lord sent word earlier
that he doesn't favor their porcelain.

The He family, leading the merchants,
has contributed greatly to the county.

The wedding porcelain business
has been given to them.

If that's the Lord's decision, so be it.

On behalf of the shop, we're grateful
to the Consort Dowager and the Lord.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

My Lord.

My Lord.

Stop!

How dare you walk freely in the mansion?

My Lord.

I am Liu Miantang. My husband is Cui Jiu.

Your Go companion.

These past days,
I'm grateful for your care of my husband.

He loves Go and considers it a blessing
to have met you.

But we are simple folk.

My husband is gentle and weak.

He only wishes for a peaceful life with me,

without the intention of mixing with nobility.

If we have offended you in any way,
please forgive us.

What's with the panic?

My Lord. The Emperor's uncle is here,
with a royal decree.

The Emperor has decreed.

The western tribes invaded us,
affecting the people.

Cui Xingzhou, Lord Huaiyang,
is a loyal official,

serving the country, and keeping promises.

Based on your merits,
you are hereby General of the Western Front,

commanding the entire army of Zhenzhou.

Within a month, you must reach Jinjia Pass,
and intimidate the tribes.

The end.

Lord Huaiyang, accept the decree.

Lord Huaiyang isn't someone easy to deal with.

Such a decree might anger him.

You're the Emperor's uncle.

With the Emperor's decree,

no matter how bold Cui Xingzhou is,
he wouldn't dare oppose you.

Do you think so, Your Majesty?

The books say the ancient sages
created a wooden kite

to fly in the sky and shoot enemies.

If the Ministry of Works can produce it,

our kingdom wouldn't need Lord Huaiyang to constantly trouble Mother.

You're right, Your Majesty.

But what if he refuses to accept the decree?

Then it wouldn't be my fault
to charge him with defying imperial orders

and implicating his entire family.

Lord Huaiyang, are you to defy the decree?

I...

accept the decree.

My Lord, please rise.

And please inform the Emperor
and the Empress Dowager

that I'll prepare the troops and
reach Jinjia Pass within a month.

Having a general like you
is truly a blessing for our kingdom,

the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The peace of the northwestern border
for the next decades depends on this battle.

Do not let down the common people.

My Lord. I have to go.

I will take my leave.

You aren't a border general.

Jinjia Pass is in the northwest,

where a
general familiar with the terrain and climate is needed.

Moreover, the court does have other generals.

Our army has been reduced by half.

The canal troops cannot be dispatched.

Jinjia Pass is far in the northwest.

How can we arrive in a month?

Is there no room for negotiation?

Mother.

The war is not so terrifying.

It's the mobilization of the entire army today
that has been overwhelming.

I really wish I could split myself in two.

How can you still be smiling?

This...

Defying is punishable by death.

It's not what an official does.

Only going to battle provides some leeway.

Mother, please forgive me.

If it's necessary,

I would also wish for you to fulfill one of my wishes.

Mother, please speak, and I will fulfill it.

Good.

Before you go to battle, marry Binglan.

But with the battle imminent,

all arrangements must be simplified.

Tomorrow morning,
go to the Lian Mansion to bring her over.

Consort Dowager.

Binglan...

What happened to her?

A while ago, she said she felt unwell.

When she learned Xingzhou was going to the battlefield,

she was stricken with anxiety.

Look. Look. She broke out in a rash,

some of which is still oozing.

The physician said if she doesn't
get proper care,

the fever might reach her brain,
which is incurable.

She seemed fine the other day.

- Well.
- Is it serious?

Well... I don't know.

Speaking of which,

I still have many matters in my family waiting for me to handle.

Consort Dowager...
- Aunt.

In that case, don't delay any further.

Aunt, you may go back now.

Alright.

Mother, the Lian family is refusing.

They fear your son will go and not return,

and that their daughter will become a widow.

Binglan's illness is due to her worry
about you.

Don't think ill of her.

Perhaps I'm overthinking.

But it has come to this.

Cousin Lian and I aren't meant to be.

My engagement with her should be terminated.

Mother, the journey will be long.

I really don't know when I can return home.

It's better this way, so as not to
delay her youth and prospects.

Son, I am not so old as to be blind and deaf.

I am well aware of the dangers
better than anyone.

Your father left early.

This vast mansion,

and the Cui family's honor
rest solely on your shoulders.

All these years, you've endured grievances
without complaint.

Now, to protect us,
you'll have to risk your life.

Mother.

It's nothing. Why speak of this?

Son.

I don't want any military merits.

My only wish is for you to return safely,
and for our family to reunite.

Don't worry, Mother.

I will.

Let me see.

This should be fine. Why are you up?

If the Lord's mansion sends more people...

No. I'll add more.

Wait, Mother. How about this?

Send someone to the Lord's mansion again

to tell them I am much better, and marriage is possible.

Are you crazy?

Do you want to marry a dying man? To continue their bloodline?

It's clear you'd be a widow.

Besides, once you marry him,
if you can't be pregnant that night,

you won't even have a chance
to find another nobleman.

I understand.

But what if Cousin Xingzhou returns victorious?

So many have died at Jinjia Pass.

Does Cui Xingzhou have three heads
and six arms?

If Jinjia Pass falls,

even if he survives,

the court will condemn him as incompetent.

Then not only will you be a widow,

but our Lian family's future will be ruined.

Your father found a connection with the Wu family.

They heard that the court expects defeat,

and is preparing to pay tribute for peace.

Think about it. At this moment,
they're sending Xingzhou to fight.

The Empress Dowager specifically ordered that if he defied the decree,

they'd gather the troops
30 miles from Zhenzhou.

from Huaidong Camp. What does that mean?

The court wants him dead.

But there is still a slim hope of survival.

Mother, let me ask you.

What if he's truly skilled in warfare, and returns victorious?

Then marry him after he wins.

He'll have military achievements. Wouldn't that be better?

Cousin Xingzhou is proud.

If he learns we are deliberately delaying,

he won't marry me after he returns victorious.

So, Mother. I ask you to go to the mansion

not because I truly want to marry

but to show our sincerity to Cousin Xingzhou
and Aunt,

and soothe them first.

Tomorrow morning...

Tomorrow morning,
I will feign illness again.

That makes sense.

Repeating this back and forth

shows you're
enduring illness, and sincerely want to marry,

but your health can't hold out.

Let alone my sister, even your cousin
will not find fault with us.

Madam. This is from the Lord Huaiyang.

It's for you.

[Letter from Cui Xingzhou]

What?

Cancel the engagement?

What? Cancel?

How come?

How can Sister be so unfeeling?

- It must be Cui Xingzhou's idea.
- Then...

What are you doing? If you go now,
you're just admitting it.

Tomorrow, when the army departs,

I will
drag my sick body to Cousin Xingzhou's horse

and declare in front of the people
that I will marry no one else but him.

I don't believe it. He's leaving anyway.

We can't just marry on the spot.

If the war escalates,
there will be various urgent levies and taxes.

- In a war, we traders are always
the ones suffering.
- Isn't that right?

In my opinion, Lord Huaiyang is brave and skilled.

The enemy won't break into Jinjia Pass.

That may not be true.

Previous generals have all gone
and never returned.

How much chance does the Zhenzhou army have?

I heard that recently, Lord Huaiyang has
been conscripting soldiers in Zhenzhou.

Conscripting soldiers?

All the idle young men on the streets

have been recruited into the army.

This shows a lack of troops.

- Doing this at the last moment. This...
- What should we do?

- They're even conscripting able-bodied men.
- Yes,

if you have male relatives at home,
make sure they stay at home.

I need to return home.

No, no. I must prepare.

- Let's go back.
- Don't bother.

Goodbye.

You look worried.

I'm worried about my husband.

What's there to worry about Mr. Cui?

This might be laughable.

My husband hasn't been home for days.

He's a timid Go enthusiast.

He can't even argue.

If Lord Huaiyang conscripts him,

he might be exhausted before the battle, let alone fight.

At such a time,
you're still being melodramatic.

Liu Miantang, among everyone in the room,

you should worry the least.

Miss He, what do you mean?

Wait. Have I offended you?

Just tell me.

I only speak with straightforward people.

[Cui Mansion]

Madam.

We leave tomorrow.

Please rest early today.

Nanny Li, could it be that

Miss He knew about my husband's
Go-playing relationship with the Lord,

and got upset thinking I made a cold remark?

What do you think?

Miss He's thoughts

How could I understand them?

Madam, Fangxie and Bicao
have already prepared the luggage.

We'll depart for Beizhou tomorrow.

The journey will be tough.

Madam, rest early.

Now that the war has started,
I'm even more uneasy.

Let's delay the journey.

Right now, you must accompany me to find him.

I can't rest easy until I know he's safe.

How can this be?

The master is not an idle person.

How could he be conscripted?

Nanny Li, you've been urging repeatedly.

It seems you're very concerned
about going to Beizhou.

Well. It is the master's order.

No.

Why are you not worried about the master's
safety,

but always thinking of leaving?

Madam!

Honey?

Honey, you're back.

Now, they're conscripting soldiers everywhere.

You don't know how worried I am.

You're overthinking.

Are you back with your studies finished?

It's not that simple.

I saw that Moru brought a lot of baggage,

which made me realize I've made you worry again.

I was afraid you were anxious,
so I came back to see you.

You're beating around the bush
to avoid telling me you miss me.

I haven't had dinner yet.

Can I have a good meal tonight?

I'll ask Nanny Li to make the dishes.

I want to eat your crab roe rice.

At this time?

It's too late to prepare. How about tomorrow?

No.

I want it now.

- Please?
- Alright.

I'll prepare it right away.

It's ready.

Every night is like tonight.

The moonlight is like water.

Travelers travel far.

Honey, you don't know. I've been very uneasy these days.

Why?

If I tell you, it might make you laugh.

When Nanny Li was packing,

I kept having
strange thoughts,

as if I'd never see you again

after this departure.

Especially with the news of the war.

I feel even more uneasy,

fearing that

we might part forever, and never meet again.
