00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:28.700
= Love Like the Galaxy=

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:47.440
I'm sure you can see now

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:49.280
how the second chamber
of the Lou family is being treated.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.640
Let me ask you.

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.880
Have you regretted?

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:54.360
About what?

00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:55.640
Nowadays,

00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.640
every family has trouble
with their relationships.

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.640
Grandmother and Second Aunt are
not in a good relationship

00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:07.760
but you still married here.

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:10.520
How can you compare that?

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.560
No matter how scary your grandmother

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:14.000
and second aunt is,

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:15.400
the family still relies

00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:17.760
on your father's glory in battles.

00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:21.840
I'm not afraid of this relationship

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.640
because your father is protecting me.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.720
But Lou Yao
has a lowly position in the family.

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:31.680
How can he protect you in the future?

00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:34.120
Forget about him for a moment.

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:35.680
Even his brother

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:38.320
also depends on the first chamber

00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.280
and couldn't protect his own wife.

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:41.880
As a couple,

00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.360
there's no saying that
one must protect the other.

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:46.440
I think Yao is quite nice.

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:48.960
He is loyal and honest.

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.840
He has none of the habits of
those prodigal sons in the capital.

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:53.440
He will be successful one day.

00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:55.640
I've discussed it with Yao.

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.800
As long as he can become
a local magistrate,

00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:00.200
even if it's not as comfortable
as the capital,

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.560
we can still enjoy a lavish life.

00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:07.640
In that case,

00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.360
I'm sure you can be relieved now.

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:10.440
This wife

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:12.600
will be good for Yao.

00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:13.680
Before this,

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.360
I was worried
that this Fourth Lady Cheng

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.280
was as rude as they say.

00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:18.320
It seems now

00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:21.080
that my thinking was shallow.

00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:25.560
Fourth Lady is
intelligent and open-minded.

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.000
After Yao knew her,

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.240
he became happier

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:31.240
and only wants to
become a local magistrate.

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:32.440
However,

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.160
Yao's thinking is still too naive.

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:38.400
I'm worried about Uncle.

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.920
Nothing is absolute.

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.600
Didn't you say

00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:44.280
His Majesty yearns for talents
and is getting anyone he can?

00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.280
You are wise in strategies
and intelligent as well.

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.040
I believe not long after,

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:51.000
you will definitely have
the opportunity to be successful.

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:57.320
Do you know why Lou Yao's brother

00:03:57.920 --> 00:03:59.120
didn't become an official

00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:02.400
even if he is good
in academics and martial arts?

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:06.640
Is it because

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.840
of the Lou family's first chamber?

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.800
His Majesty

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.920
wants to stop a family from
taking away all the official positions

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:14.760
from talented people who are poor

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.280
so there's a rule to stop every
family member from becoming an official.

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:20.920
Old Madam Lou

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.000
wants her own son to become an official

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.760
so she interfered with
the second chamber's son's future

00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:28.080
and forced Lou Ben

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.720
to give up on becoming an official.

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:32.200
Until now,

00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:35.800
Old Madam Cheng finally got her wish.

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:39.560
Unfortunately,

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:42.720
Grand Tutor Lou's two sons
are both disappointing.

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.280
They couldn't get His Majesty's favour.

00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:49.880
She was too clever for her own good.

00:04:57.880 --> 00:04:58.680
Young Master.

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.800
We just took down
some of Prince Xiao's partisans.

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.720
A few of them wanted
to take poison to commit suicide

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.600
but we stopped and captured them.

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:07.440
What should we do next?

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.560
Keep them alive.

00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:09.840
Interrogate them

00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.800
and see what clues
Prince Xiao has left behind.

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:12.240
Yes.

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.320
Report! Young Master.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:19.640
Say it.

00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.800
Young Master.

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:22.080
We've already seized the brothels

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.560
and theatres that Prince Xiao frequents.

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.200
We also searched all the businessmen

00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:27.720
who are closely related to Prince Xiao.

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.840
These businessmen are so scared

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.360
that they packed all their valuables
and leave the capital at night

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.240
to hide in their hometown.

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:33.920
Set up roadblocks along the way.

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.320
Tell them

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.120
we won't trouble them

00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.600
if they tell the truth.

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.080
Yes.

00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:46.040
I heard His Majesty has
summoned Lord Yong

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:47.840
back to the capital
with an imperial edict

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.320
but Lord Yong refuses saying
he has fallen ill as an excuse.

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.920
I believe something's wrong
in the imperial court.

00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.960
Are you thinking...

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:00.920
Since the imperial court needs me,

00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:02.920
it's time

00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.680
to meet my old friend.

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:08.440
Stop.

00:06:08.690 --> 00:06:09.970
First Madam. Young Lady.

00:06:09.970 --> 00:06:11.170
I think something happened in front.

00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:12.370
The guards won't allow us to pass.

00:06:15.690 --> 00:06:16.690
What is it?

00:06:33.330 --> 00:06:34.170
Lady Cheng.

00:06:35.490 --> 00:06:36.370
General Ling.

00:06:37.770 --> 00:06:39.090
What happened in front?

00:06:39.690 --> 00:06:40.850
It's just a routine check.

00:06:46.130 --> 00:06:47.610
It's not safe along the way.

00:06:48.690 --> 00:06:49.690
Allow me

00:06:50.090 --> 00:06:51.450
to escort both of you back.

00:06:51.770 --> 00:06:53.450
We won't trouble General Ling.

00:06:53.890 --> 00:06:54.970
Since it's an important mission,

00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:57.170
how can you leave your post?

00:06:57.490 --> 00:06:59.050
I am conducting an investigation here.

00:06:59.370 --> 00:07:00.370
Escorting both of you

00:07:01.010 --> 00:07:02.490
is just something I can do on my way.

00:07:03.610 --> 00:07:05.490
I think the capital
will be in chaos for a while longer.

00:07:06.130 --> 00:07:07.250
Lady Cheng, it's better

00:07:08.370 --> 00:07:09.650
to not leave your residence so often.

00:07:11.170 --> 00:07:12.330
General, don't worry.

00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:14.770
I'm just going to the Lou residence

00:07:14.770 --> 00:07:16.010
to discuss the marriage recently.

00:07:19.650 --> 00:07:20.490
General Ling.

00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:23.490
We already have an engagement
with the Lou family.

00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:24.770
In a few more days,

00:07:25.090 --> 00:07:26.410
The Lou family will have a banquet.

00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:27.850
Tell my youngest daughter

00:07:28.090 --> 00:07:31.090
and the Lou family's second chamber
and her son about our wedding.

00:07:31.930 --> 00:07:33.370
If General Ling is free,

00:07:33.770 --> 00:07:34.770
you can go to Lou residence

00:07:35.370 --> 00:07:36.290
and have a drink.

00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:37.730
I am busy with my mission.

00:07:39.090 --> 00:07:40.050
I might not be free.

00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:41.410
What a pity.

00:07:42.170 --> 00:07:43.210
In that case,

00:07:43.410 --> 00:07:45.010
Yao and I will have to
visit you in the future.

00:07:52.250 --> 00:07:53.930
Let me send both of you back.

00:07:55.250 --> 00:07:56.290
It's getting late.

00:08:08.330 --> 00:08:09.250
Let them through.

00:08:09.690 --> 00:08:11.730
Yes. Let them through.

00:08:33.810 --> 00:08:35.930
Prince Xiao's Residence
and Cheng's Residence

00:08:35.930 --> 00:08:37.650
are in opposite directions.

00:08:37.810 --> 00:08:38.850
How is it along the way?

00:08:39.530 --> 00:08:41.890
We must be thorough
since we are investigating.

00:08:42.570 --> 00:08:44.330
Young Master, are you suspecting

00:08:44.330 --> 00:08:46.690
General Cheng and Prince Xiao
to be conspiring together?

00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:58.880
What?

00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.320
Mother actually
allowed Yuan Shen to teach all of you?

00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:04.800
Not just us. You as well.

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.560
Mother said Shanjian is knowledgeable.

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:09.640
Listening to his lesson
is better than reading ten scrolls.

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.600
Grandmother said

00:09:10.680 --> 00:09:11.960
since the gift was expensive,

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.200
it's not worth it
if he only teaches the boys.

00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:14.920
So, all of us have to study.

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.080
The more the better.

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.360
Including you.

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.200
But... But I'm a daughter.

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.480
Even if mother wants to hire,

00:09:21.520 --> 00:09:22.760
she should hire a female teacher.

00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:24.240
You'll be married to Yao

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.080
and become his wife anyway.

00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:26.400
there's no need to do anything

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:27.560
to avoid suspicion.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.120
The Lou family prioritises rules.

00:09:30.400 --> 00:09:32.000
Yao, don't worry.

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.960
I will definitely
not listen to his lessons.

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.440
No.

00:09:36.680 --> 00:09:37.840
Even Uncle praises

00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.280
Shanjian's knowledge.

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.240
Shaoshang.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.640
Can I attend

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.080
Shanjian's lesson with you

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.120
to have a look?

00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:47.240
At what?

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.600
At how domineering he is.

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.920
I've seen enough of that.
I won't be attending.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.120
Niaoniao, just accept your fate.

00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:56.160
I had a divination today.

00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:58.640
You have no choice
but to attend Yuan Shanjian's lesson.

00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:00.360
But don't worry.

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.680
I can give you a divination every day.

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:04.680
If it's a bad omen,
just pretend to be sick.

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:06.520
We will definitely cover for you

00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:09.000
so you won't be embarrassed
when there are questions.

00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:11.120
Do you even need to do that?

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.680
A person who knows nothing
against someone who is knowledgeable.

00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.800
I predict it will be hard to watch.

00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:17.600
Your divination

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.280
will definitely
be bad omens for every day.

00:10:19.520 --> 00:10:20.800
Bad omens cannot be predicted.

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.920
I heard from a fellow student
from Bailu Academy

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:27.800
that Shanjian used to
takeover a lesson from Mr. Huangfu.

00:10:27.800 --> 00:10:29.800
He has a lot of different punishments.

00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:33.280
Don't worry, Shaoshang.

00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:35.760
I'll accompany you if you get punished.

00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:39.680
Niaoniao.

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.480
I have an idea

00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:43.040
so you won't be the worst student.

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:46.880
You can

00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:48.160
beg Mr. Wan

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:49.760
to send Wan Qiqi here.

00:10:50.520 --> 00:10:52.080
With Qiqi at the bottom,

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.120
you won't be the one
who receive the worst punishment.

00:10:57.640 --> 00:10:58.520
That's right.

00:10:59.520 --> 00:11:00.320
Good friends

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.480
should suffer together.

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.800
But I will tell Qiqi

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.840
that this idea

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:10.680
was thought by Second Brother.

00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:14.120
Good idea, Second Brother.

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.000
Thanks, Second Brother.

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:15.880
Let's go.

00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.000
Where's your loyalty?

00:11:41.640 --> 00:11:43.000
Is that made from gold?

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.240
There's so many.

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:53.120
That is nice.

00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:30.720
We were in a rush

00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:32.480
and can barely prepare for your arrival.

00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:38.800
This is the tiger skin
that Mr. Wan hunted, right?

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:40.440
You used it as a cushion

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.280
and said you just barely prepared?

00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:44.520
We only made a cushion out of it.

00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:45.760
I haven't use gold threads

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.240
and put pearls on it.

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.160
This is so normal.
Of course, I won't even be interested.

00:12:49.640 --> 00:12:50.840
Setting pearls on a cushion?

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.240
Won't it hurt you?

00:12:52.640 --> 00:12:54.000
You spent so much money.

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.280
You will probably spend all

00:12:55.280 --> 00:12:56.280
your future husband's family's money.

00:12:56.280 --> 00:12:57.480
My future husband doesn't mind that.

00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:58.400
Why do you care?

00:12:59.640 --> 00:13:02.760
Why are only these three desks
decorated like this?

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.240
Those are for the maidservants.

00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:07.480
You can make your own decorations.

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.200
Cheng Yang.

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.200
Where do you want to sit?

00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:14.920
I'm fine.

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:16.440
Where is Qiqi sitting?

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.800
I'll sit in the middle.

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.120
You can sit on my left.

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.360
Shaoshang can sit on my right.

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.080
All right.

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:26.640
All of you, sit behind.

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.680
Qiqi prepared these

00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:38.800
especially for Cousin and I.

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:42.000
This candlestick

00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:44.040
is so heavy.

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.840
It is made with real gold.

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.840
If you like it,

00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:48.160
just take it.

00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:50.360
It's shiny

00:13:50.520 --> 00:13:51.600
even if it's not lighted.

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.240
Qiqi.

00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:56.400
You are generous and meticulous.

00:13:56.880 --> 00:13:58.640
With our families' relationship,

00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:00.080
I'll definitely marry you

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.120
if you are a boy.

00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:05.360
It's fine even if
Shaoshang doesn't marry to your family.

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.160
We have many boys at the Cheng family.

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.600
They can marry you, Qiqi.

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.520
Stop dreaming.

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.680
I won't marry you.

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:11.920
I'm not talking about me.

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.920
There's someone else.

00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:17.320
Who do you mean?

00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:23.320
Your eldest brother
has been married for many years.

00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:25.480
He has a good relationship with his wife

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.760
and they are
guarding the borders together.

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.160
I can't ruin their relationship.

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.760
There's still my second brother.

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.000
I'd rather marry Shaoshang then.

00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:48.880
Fourth Lady Cheng

00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:50.440
is really popular.

00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.480
Do you not mind
even if I'm a female now?

00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:54.760
Fourth Lady.

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:56.200
As long as you study well,

00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:58.720
you can marry any person you want

00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.080
in the future.

00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:13.880
Confucius answers Yan Hui's question.

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.360
There are four generations to a country.

00:15:17.160 --> 00:15:21.680
Zizhang asks if the
next ten generations can be predicted.

00:15:33.640 --> 00:15:34.600
A few days ago,

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.400
everyone in the imperial court
is discussing about Confucius.

00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.840
They are arguing about this.

00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:40.920
Someone said

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.840
the policy of Zhou Dynasty
is a new policy from Confucius.

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.120
The ritual is just a fake.

00:15:46.400 --> 00:15:47.960
Those who support the ancient studies

00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.040
said if something were to happen

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.440
and all the rituals are carried out,

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.400
they will do it without
knowing the origins.

00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.040
After studying Confucianism
for so long,

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.360
who do you think is right?

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:09.000
I think...

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.680
You.

00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:12.760
You can answer.

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.400
Is it over?

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:42.160
I...

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.720
I think no one is right.

00:16:46.640 --> 00:16:48.000
Since he is a saint,

00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:51.240
he should make
his words easier to understand.

00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:53.560
When his words are easier to understand,

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.800
these people wouldn't have been confused

00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:57.920
and there won't be an argument.

00:17:07.320 --> 00:17:08.080
Madam.

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.880
I think Niaoniao has a point.

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:14.040
As a saint,

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.480
why didn't he make it clear

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.240
when his purpose was to spread
his teachings and solve confusion?

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.080
Speaking nonsense.

00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:21.560
He was creating confusion
instead of solving confusion.

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.200
Like father like daughter indeed.

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.000
Niaoniao learned from you.

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.520
She even dared to question the saint.

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.760
The saint also said

00:17:29.800 --> 00:17:32.040
to see no evil and hear no evil.

00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:33.720
You brought me here

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.400
to eavesdrop.

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.080
I don't think
that's following the saint's teaching.

00:17:37.080 --> 00:17:37.800
You...

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:43.640
If the Saint lives with both of you

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:44.840
for around a year,

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.240
I'm sure the Saint will be enraged.

00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:51.800
The Lou family is a family of scholars.

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:54.640
They prioritise the Saint's teachings.

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:57.880
If you slack in your study,

00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:01.640
how can you become
the Lou family's new wife?

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.920
Teacher, you cared too much.

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:13.680
Teacher.

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:15.120
Shaoshan's lack of knowledge

00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:17.560
comes from the lack of education
when she was young.

00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:18.680
She is very intelligent.

00:18:18.800 --> 00:18:19.880
I'm sure she would be knowledgeable

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:21.040
if she was born in the Lou family.

00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:23.880
Besides, it's not that
Shaoshang doesn't like to study.

00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:26.400
She is more interested
in miscellaneous studies.

00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:28.400
When she was in Hua County,

00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:29.680
her craftsmanship

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.280
is way better than other craftsmen.

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.840
Yao knows me best.

00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:42.400
First Madam asked me to teach you...

00:18:43.520 --> 00:18:44.040
Come here.

00:18:44.040 --> 00:18:46.080
Because she wants you
to marry into a family of scholars.

00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:47.280
Why didn't Yuan Shanjian

00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.280
ask Yangyang?

00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:50.960
Yangyang is intelligent.

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.280
I'm sure she can answer it well.

00:18:55.040 --> 00:18:57.120
These scholars

00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:58.920
obviously have nothing to do

00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.000
and study useless things like this.

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.920
They learned all these

00:19:03.320 --> 00:19:05.480
but they can't make more crops grow

00:19:05.560 --> 00:19:07.800
or more clothes
to be made in the winter.

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.400
It's not useful at all

00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:11.200
for the people's daily lives.

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.280
There's no use even if they learn it.

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:18.400
Actually,

00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.080
I think Master Yuan is right.

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.160
Qin Shi Huang burned the books
and buried the scholars

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.320
and caused
a break in culture and history.

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:27.800
We can see that

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:29.600
it's important to think.

00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:32.640
It's not useless at all
to learn about these knowledge.

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:34.320
After all,

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.520
someone has to know about that.

00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:40.720
Since Young Lady

00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:43.520
thinks what I teach is useless.

00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:44.560
Fine,

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:46.040
from today onwards,

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:48.320
I will talk about something useful.

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.600
Since you'll become someone's wife soon,

00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:52.880
why don't I

00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:55.120
tell you some couple stories

00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:57.680
and learn some songs and poems

00:19:58.280 --> 00:20:00.000
so your future husband

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.200
won't feel bored.

00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.680
How is that?

00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:08.600
Are you serious?

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:10.800
From now onwards,

00:20:11.320 --> 00:20:12.560
I just have to listen to stories?

00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.160
You'll choose.

00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:17.000
Do you want to listen

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.720
about "Hiding One's Mistress
in A Golden House" and "Chang Men Fu"

00:20:21.040 --> 00:20:24.560
or "Courting of a Phoenix"
and "To a Faithless Husband"?

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.760
The Golden House still exists

00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:52.040
but the lover no longer
exists in Chang Men Palace.

00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:54.800
It shows that every couple in this world

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.720
seemed like they were
meant for each other when they first met

00:20:58.280 --> 00:21:01.120
and couldn't be separated
to make the marriage a success.

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:02.680
But in the end,

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:05.880
love will still fade.

00:21:06.520 --> 00:21:07.880
Do you think becoming strangers

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.560
is the worst that can happen
to a separated couple?

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.200
Wrong.

00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:15.240
Young Lady, you've never met

00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.640
a couple with grudge
that can't wait to see the other die.

00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:22.200
The person
who can hurt you the most in this world

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.360
is coincidentally

00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:27.600
the partner you thought
you can live your life with

00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:29.760
forever.

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.000
Keep searching!

00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:36.840
We must find the consort

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.040
and the son of He.

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:40.040
I want to find them no matter

00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:41.280
if they are dead or alive.

00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:42.480
Yes!

00:21:47.040 --> 00:21:48.160
Where is Zhaojun?

00:21:48.840 --> 00:21:50.040
Where is Zhaojun?

00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:53.920
Today is my wedding with Zhaojun

00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:55.800
but she disappeared.

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.240
You are her wet nurse.

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.960
You watched her grow up.

00:21:59.600 --> 00:22:01.800
I'm sure you are
as worried as me, right?

00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:04.480
Quick. Tell me.

00:22:05.080 --> 00:22:07.200
Where is Zhaojun
and her younger brother?

00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:08.720
Mister.

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:11.680
I really don't know.

00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:13.640
You don't know?

00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:21.200
Zhaojun is my new wife.

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:23.320
I am her family.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.280
As long as she returns to me

00:22:25.520 --> 00:22:26.640
to persuade father-in-law

00:22:26.760 --> 00:22:28.280
to stand on the same side
with the Xiao family,

00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:29.680
I won't treat Shaojun

00:22:30.040 --> 00:22:32.440
and the He family badly

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.880
when my father becomes the emperor.

00:22:35.320 --> 00:22:36.080
At that time,

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:39.440
the Shao and He family
will share the empire.

00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.400
Isn't that wonderful?

00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.960
The He family is upright.

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.200
How can they conspire with a traitor?

00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:53.440
Fine.

00:22:54.360 --> 00:22:55.480
I want to see

00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:58.120
if he can still be upright

00:22:58.120 --> 00:22:59.440
when his son and daughter

00:22:59.800 --> 00:23:01.880
is in my hands.

00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:04.400
You traitor! Traitor!

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:09.680
I am a traitor!

00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:11.200
I am a traitor!

00:23:12.800 --> 00:23:14.840
I am a traitor!

00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:16.640
Yes. I am a traitor!

00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:18.560
I am a traitor!

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.680
Traitor!

00:23:20.280 --> 00:23:22.240
Come. Gouge her eyes.

00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.000
If she still won't talk,

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.040
cut off her limbs.

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:25.720
Yes.

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.960
I want to see

00:23:27.520 --> 00:23:28.560
whether she will die first

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.160
or He Zhaojun will appear first.

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:37.600
Traitor! You will die a horrid death!

00:23:38.520 --> 00:23:40.520
Looks like she still won't say it.

00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:42.440
There's no use leaving her here.

00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:43.680
Kill her.

00:23:43.800 --> 00:23:44.640
Yes.

00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:34.000
I'm sure everyone

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.120
has seen
Feng Yi County's military report.

00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:37.920
I want to hear

00:24:38.520 --> 00:24:40.040
what you think.

00:24:40.520 --> 00:24:41.520
Lord Yong and his son

00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:43.400
used the alliance marriage

00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.320
to trouble General He's relative

00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:47.880
to threaten General He
to ally with them and stage a rebellion.

00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:50.640
This is an obvious betrayal.

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.840
Father,

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.920
I think

00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.320
we should send troops immediately to
Feng Yi County to counter the rebellion

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.720
to serve as a warning.

00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.360
Third Prince.

00:24:58.800 --> 00:24:59.760
Lord Yong is

00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:02.200
an old official who was the first
to follow father in his great cause.

00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.320
I think

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:04.840
we should get him to surrender

00:25:05.040 --> 00:25:07.080
to show our father's benevolence

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.880
and not forgetting
their relationship in the past.

00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:12.240
Everything is about peace

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:15.080
when it comes down to the Crown Prince.

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.760
Since Lord Yong

00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:19.240
can carry out such an ungrateful act,

00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:22.200
I don't think
he cares of benevolence anymore.

00:25:22.520 --> 00:25:24.400
Marquis Yue is right.

00:25:24.800 --> 00:25:26.200
If we want a stable imperial court,

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.640
we need to carry out a heavy punishment
to serve as a warning.

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.720
Lord Yong's courage
is no worse than Emperor Li.

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.200
Only the Huo family army
could be on par with them back then.

00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:37.720
Third Prince.

00:25:38.040 --> 00:25:40.160
It's easy to talk about
countering the rebellion

00:25:40.560 --> 00:25:41.440
but who can we send?

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.120
You can no longer find

00:25:43.560 --> 00:25:46.160
another Huo Chong in the imperial court.

00:25:46.520 --> 00:25:47.480
Grand Tutor Lou.

00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:49.080
Everyone.

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:52.800
General He's eldest son

00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:55.600
perished in battle yesterday morning.

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:00.800
What?

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:02.800
How did you know?

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.160
I have an old friend.

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.480
For many years,

00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:07.360
he has been a close friend.

00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:10.080
He has a good eye.
He wanders all around the world

00:26:10.280 --> 00:26:11.760
and know many wandering warriors.

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:13.120
One of the warriors

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:14.920
risked death to send this news

00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:17.880
to him from Feng Yi County.

00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.120
General He and his sons

00:26:37.280 --> 00:26:39.320
are good at battle.

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:40.720
How could he die in battle?

00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.720
General He went to Feng Yi County

00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:44.800
to attend his daughter's wedding.

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:46.600
He didn't bring enough soldiers.

00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:48.640
When he found out
about Lord Yong's intention to betray,

00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:50.160
he risked his life

00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:51.520
to stop Lord Yong's army
in Feng Yi County.

00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:52.840
Otherwise,

00:26:53.280 --> 00:26:54.640
all of you won't be able

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.120
to discuss about this calmly.

00:26:56.280 --> 00:26:57.160
Is it a war

00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:58.840
or are we at peace?

00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:05.360
Your Majesty,

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.160
I request for us
to send troops and support them.

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.480
I am

00:27:10.040 --> 00:27:11.440
willing to lead the army.

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.760
Zi Sheng.

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.400
Do you know

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:21.080
how young Lord Yong was

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.880
when he started to fight in battles?

00:27:23.080 --> 00:27:24.480
He knows war

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.800
like the back of his hand.

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.600
Everyone in the He family
was a fierce warrior.

00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:29.720
They were still in danger

00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:31.800
when they faced him.

00:27:32.040 --> 00:27:33.400
This is a tough battle.

00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:34.600
Looks like

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:35.800
we need to send some

00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:38.440
experienced generals.

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:39.520
My experience

00:27:39.520 --> 00:27:41.320
is indeed lacking
compared to the old generals

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:43.640
but my ability in battlefield

00:27:43.840 --> 00:27:45.200
is second to none.

00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:46.720
I won't refuse the responsibility

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:48.760
to take down Lord Yong.

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:51.200
Father.

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.840
I think General Ling is right.

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:56.480
When it comes to ability in wars,

00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:57.800
no one is better

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:59.560
than General Ling in the imperial court.

00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:04.400
A long discussion is needed about this.

00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.840
I believed in Lord Yongin the past.

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:08.040
I've never asked him

00:28:08.040 --> 00:28:10.000
for his region's map.

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.520
Without the guide of the map,

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:14.240
this battle

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.360
will be even tougher.

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:17.880
At ease, Your Majesty.

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.840
That old friend of mine

00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:22.120
is familiar
with Feng Yi County's terrain.

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.480
He can

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:25.280
draw the map.

00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:26.600
What old friend?

00:28:26.760 --> 00:28:29.240
You have many talents around you,
General Ling.

00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:30.920
A talent like him

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.760
should be recommended
to join the imperial court.

00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:34.720
Why did you hide him?

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:36.920
I think so too.

00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:39.080
He should not be kept hidden.

00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:43.640
Your Majesty.

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:45.240
I think

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.080
we should send General Wu
to provide immediate support.

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:50.520
When I get the map of Feng Yi County,

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:51.920
I will meet up with General Wu

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.200
to defeat the enemy together.

00:28:56.320 --> 00:28:57.440
In that case,

00:28:57.560 --> 00:28:58.360
fine.

00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:01.000
I'll grant you 30,000 troops.

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.680
But I expect a triumphant return.

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.120
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:29:06.080 --> 00:29:08.080
I will also

00:29:08.520 --> 00:29:10.360
wish for
General Ling's triumphant return.

00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:12.840
What a pity.

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:15.840
I had an engagement banquet
in my residence tomorrow.

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:17.040
I wanted

00:29:17.040 --> 00:29:19.520
to invite General Ling
to attend and have a drink.

00:29:19.520 --> 00:29:20.400
Now,

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:22.160
I'm afraid it's too late.

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:24.560
What a coincidence.

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.080
The friend I am meeting

00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:29.840
is in your residence.

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.000
I think I'm able

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.080
to attend the banquet.

00:29:36.280 --> 00:29:38.320
General Ling,is that old friend of yours

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:41.400
someone from the Lou family?

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.280
That's enough.

00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:45.160
That's all for today's meeting.

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.000
Everyone, dismissed.

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.800
Zisheng.

00:29:48.560 --> 00:29:49.440
Stay here.

00:30:02.080 --> 00:30:03.720
I've yet to congratulate
Grand Tutor Lou.

00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.800
Another capable official
is born in your family.

00:30:07.760 --> 00:30:10.400
My father will definitely
think highly of this person.

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.520
Look forward to the rising fame

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.120
of the Lou family.

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:19.280
The people of Lou family

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:21.440
are usually mediocre and useless.

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:23.640
What you said was absurd.

00:30:23.760 --> 00:30:26.040
Don't be so humble, Grand Tutor Lou.

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.120
I didn't ask you to resign
and give your position to them.

00:30:29.520 --> 00:30:30.320
Right?

00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.400
Which official
was the one you mentioned?

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:45.520
There's actually
such a talent in the Lou family?

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.120
Why didn't the Grand Tutor
recommend him before?

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.440
It's just a nephew in the family

00:30:51.800 --> 00:30:52.840
who loves to wander around

00:30:53.040 --> 00:30:55.120
and not join the royal court.

00:30:56.800 --> 00:30:57.960
There's actually someone

00:30:58.760 --> 00:31:00.240
from a famous family who
doesn't want to join the royal court?

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:02.640
What a pity.

00:31:11.080 --> 00:31:12.280
What an accurate

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:15.320
backstabbing that was.

00:31:16.560 --> 00:31:18.400
You've just come back for a few days

00:31:18.760 --> 00:31:20.240
and you're going to battle again?

00:31:21.800 --> 00:31:23.120
Don't kneel down. Come.

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:24.720
Sit and talk with me.

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:26.760
You heard it just now.

00:31:27.120 --> 00:31:29.360
This is a tough battle.

00:31:30.360 --> 00:31:32.040
If something were to happen to you,

00:31:32.320 --> 00:31:33.200
what would you do?

00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:34.240
In the future,

00:31:34.280 --> 00:31:36.240
how can I explain to Huo

00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:37.160
who passed away?

00:31:37.560 --> 00:31:38.560
I've had my attention

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.320
on Lord Yong

00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:41.560
since the armament case.

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.200
He started as an official.

00:31:43.520 --> 00:31:45.680
He should end as an official as well.

00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:47.640
Your Majesty, don't worry.

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.680
I know

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:50.520
what I should do in this battle.

00:31:50.760 --> 00:31:52.280
How can I not be worried?

00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:55.480
Did you see?

00:31:56.080 --> 00:31:58.160
The grand tutor's nephew

00:31:58.520 --> 00:31:59.320
is even

00:31:59.800 --> 00:32:01.160
younger than you

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.640
and he is already getting married.

00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:04.560
What about you?

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.880
If you don't want me to be worried,

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:09.880
you should get married soon

00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:13.280
so you don't have to
fight in battles every day.

00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:18.000
Lou Yao is kind and gentle.

00:32:19.120 --> 00:32:20.720
Lady Cheng is intelligent and pretty.

00:32:21.040 --> 00:32:22.280
I only hope

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:24.400
they can have a harmonious

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.320
and long-lasting relationship.

00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:29.200
They do have a harmonious relationship.

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:31.080
What about you?

00:32:32.040 --> 00:32:33.760
You are being reckless

00:32:34.760 --> 00:32:35.960
and doesn't value your life

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:37.280
because you have no one behind you

00:32:37.280 --> 00:32:38.720
to let you value your life.

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.280
Fine.

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:42.760
In that case,

00:32:43.040 --> 00:32:44.440
I'll ask the queen

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:45.760
to choose a pair of Jade artifacts

00:32:45.760 --> 00:32:48.200
as Mr. Lou and Lady Cheng's gift.

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.640
What are you looking at?

00:32:55.120 --> 00:32:55.920
Your Majesty.

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:57.080
Since you are going to give a gift,

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:58.080
can you

00:32:58.320 --> 00:33:00.160
grant Lady Cheng
another imperial favour?

00:33:09.360 --> 00:33:10.280
Official Cheng is here.

00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:12.680
Congratulations, Official Cheng.

00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:13.400
Thank you.

00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:14.440
Congratulations, Madam Cheng.

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:19.040
Madam.

00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:27.680
All of you are finally here.

00:33:28.360 --> 00:33:29.240
Madam Lou.

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:30.280
General Cheng.

00:33:34.280 --> 00:33:35.040
Shaoshang.

00:33:35.800 --> 00:33:36.640
Come here.

00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:44.040
Let me show you
to your elders in the family.

00:33:45.840 --> 00:33:48.160
According to the seniority,
you should address her as

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.400
Grandaunt.

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:52.080
Grandaunt, I wish you well.

00:33:59.120 --> 00:34:00.000
Come back.

00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:05.040
A full bow is needed to greet the senior

00:34:05.040 --> 00:34:06.400
for a new wife of the Lou family.

00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:09.200
Someone, get the kneeling cushion.

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.640
There are really many rules
in the Lou family.

00:34:14.080 --> 00:34:16.720
The Lou family
lives an extravagant life.

00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:18.680
It is naturally different from

00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:20.720
the family of lowly generals.

00:34:27.240 --> 00:34:28.640
First Madam also said

00:34:28.640 --> 00:34:30.680
to make a full bow
when I greet my seniors.

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.640
But I have yet to marry Yao.

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:34.160
How can you forget about that

00:34:34.520 --> 00:34:35.880
when the Lou family
prioritises the rules?

00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:43.080
I was too anxious.

00:34:43.640 --> 00:34:44.760
In my heart,

00:34:45.080 --> 00:34:47.120
you are already one of our own.

00:34:48.160 --> 00:34:49.000
You are right.

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.320
You've been separated from Madam Cheng
for many years

00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:52.920
and couldn't learn all these rules.

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:54.440
In the future,

00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:56.320
I'll have to teach you slowly.

00:34:58.480 --> 00:34:59.640
I didn't realise that

00:35:00.520 --> 00:35:01.760
Old Madam Lou

00:35:02.040 --> 00:35:03.960
is also responsible for
teaching the second chamber's wife.

00:35:05.160 --> 00:35:06.520
Newlywed wives

00:35:06.600 --> 00:35:08.000
mostly don't know the rules
of the Lou family.

00:35:08.560 --> 00:35:10.320
I have no choice but
to be troubled for that.

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.480
Seniors chatting

00:35:15.680 --> 00:35:17.240
might be boring for the lady.

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.080
Shaoshang. Li and the rest are inside.

00:35:20.520 --> 00:35:21.760
Go inside and take a seat.

00:35:29.040 --> 00:35:29.840
Niaoniao.

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.080
Go inside with Yangyang.

00:35:44.720 --> 00:35:45.520
Niaoniao.

00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.560
Today is your wedding after all.

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.240
Don't get angry.

00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:50.640
Yangyang, I know.

00:35:50.640 --> 00:35:52.480
I will definitely
not argue with anyone

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.520
or hit anyone.

00:35:54.200 --> 00:35:55.120
Qiqi.

00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.600
Both of you are finally here.
I was so anxious.

00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:58.720
Qiqi.

00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:00.880
You need to calm down as well.

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:02.800
Look at the whole house of ladies here.

00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:04.760
You can't fight them alone.

00:36:06.240 --> 00:36:07.000
Sure.

00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.960
Since you are the one who asked,

00:36:09.160 --> 00:36:10.240
I won't

00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:11.280
be arguing

00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:12.960
with these ladies who have no manners.

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:14.000
Who are you talking about?

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:14.680
You.

00:36:16.040 --> 00:36:17.040
Li.

00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:19.920
You and Shaoshang
will soon be relatives.

00:36:20.120 --> 00:36:21.600
You have to live
with each other for a long time.

00:36:21.720 --> 00:36:23.280
There's no need to argue with her now.

00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:26.000
Miss Wang is right.

00:36:26.560 --> 00:36:27.520
In the future,

00:36:27.520 --> 00:36:29.240
I have to teach the rules
of the Lou family

00:36:29.240 --> 00:36:30.400
to my new sister-in-law.

00:36:31.560 --> 00:36:33.160
Don't be so strict on her.

00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:36.120
She has no parents
to educate her for more than a decade.

00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.480
Her aunt raised her to be this useless.

00:36:43.680 --> 00:36:45.400
All of you are talking about rules.

00:36:46.300 --> 00:36:47.380
Do you follow them?

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:49.480
Do you follow the rules?

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:52.040
Do you know the rules?

00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:56.640
General Ling is here!

00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:00.800
Zisheng.

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:05.720
I can't see him.

00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:09.880
I won't be able to forget

00:37:10.120 --> 00:37:11.040
Zisheng's face

00:37:11.040 --> 00:37:12.520
even if I marry someone else.

00:37:13.560 --> 00:37:15.160
I'll still feel sad

00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:16.720
even if I marry three times.

00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:21.160
They said the same thing

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:22.720
after they see Yuan Shanjian last time.

00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.720
Cheng Shaoshang, what about you?

00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.080
Didn't you say

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:29.480
Zisheng likes you?

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:30.760
Don't you care about him?

00:37:32.130 --> 00:37:33.960
That was such a weird question.

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.040
If Shaoshang agrees,

00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:38.920
you'll say Shaoshang

00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:40.760
is disloyal to Yao.

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.600
If Shaoshang disagrees,

00:37:44.200 --> 00:37:45.520
you'll say that Shaoshang

00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:47.920
is arrogant.

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:49.800
She doesn't even care about General Ling

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:51.080
who has His Majesty's favour.

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:56.760
Miss Wan is overthinking.

00:37:57.200 --> 00:37:59.920
All of us mentioned Zisheng

00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:01.920
in a frank and open manner.

00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:04.920
Shaoshang was the only one
who didn't make a noise.

00:38:05.600 --> 00:38:06.320
Was she feeling guilty?

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:07.640
I wasn't bothered to reply to you.

00:38:08.640 --> 00:38:09.360
Yes.

00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:11.120
General Ling is young and mighty.

00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:12.600
Everyone envies him.

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:14.320
But perhaps

00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:15.920
I already have Yao

00:38:16.120 --> 00:38:18.240
and is the first person
among you to get engaged,

00:38:18.680 --> 00:38:20.000
so I didn't feel anything

00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:21.080
when I see General Ling.

00:38:21.080 --> 00:38:22.080
Right, Sister-in-law?

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:26.480
She keeps mentioning Yao.

00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:27.400
She's not married to my brother yet

00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:28.720
and she is already using him.

00:38:28.720 --> 00:38:29.560
Exactly.

00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:31.760
Young Lady.

00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:33.680
General Ling brought
an imperial edict here.

00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:34.600
First Madam ordered me

00:38:34.600 --> 00:38:35.760
to ask you to listen to it
in the front yard.

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:40.120
What kind of edict is it?

00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:41.880
I don't know.

00:38:42.080 --> 00:38:43.600
Every master of the house
is already there.

00:38:48.520 --> 00:38:49.240
Let's go.

00:39:23.160 --> 00:39:24.320
I, Cheng Shi,

00:39:24.640 --> 00:39:26.600
is here with my family to attend
the banquet at Lou's residence.

00:39:27.160 --> 00:39:29.920
I can't welcome
the imperial edict with a full ritual.

00:39:30.160 --> 00:39:32.600
I hope General Ling can
explain to His Majesty for me.

00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:33.560
It's all right.

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:35.760
Since this is the Lou residence
instead of the Cheng residence,

00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:37.600
everything can be simplified.

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:40.480
I'm here today

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.040
in place of His Majesty

00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:43.400
to say a few words

00:39:43.720 --> 00:39:45.320
to Fourth Lady Cheng.

00:39:52.720 --> 00:39:53.760
Fourth Lady Cheng.

00:39:56.640 --> 00:39:57.880
Step forward to receive the edict.

00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:07.920
Kneel.

00:40:24.600 --> 00:40:27.400
Edict for Cheng Shaoshang,
daughter of Marquis Qu Ling.

00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:29.640
Helping the weak.

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:31.160
Hardworking and virtuous

00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:32.520
Kind and gentle.

00:40:32.720 --> 00:40:33.920
Knowledgeable.

00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:35.440
Happy nature.

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:38.560
Helping the people of Hua County.

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.000
Dealing with the trouble of bandits.

00:40:41.160 --> 00:40:43.200
An example of
an honourable family indeed.

00:40:44.080 --> 00:40:47.440
Wishing for a happy marriage
for the Cheng and Lou family.

00:40:48.240 --> 00:40:50.560
Is he talking about me?

00:40:50.560 --> 00:40:51.920
A pair of jade artifacts

00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:54.000
and ten brocades will be granted.

00:40:55.520 --> 00:40:56.760
Bow!

00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:58.840
Thank you, His Majesty!

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:01.520
Thank you to His Majesty's grace.

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:24.320
Receive the edict.

00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:02.640
His Majesty.

00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:03.720
Since you are going to give a gift,

00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:04.640
can you

00:42:05.040 --> 00:42:06.760
grant Lady Cheng
another imperial favour?

00:42:08.120 --> 00:42:09.520
She has credit
for rebuilding Hua County.

00:42:10.120 --> 00:42:10.960
Why not

00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:13.400
praise her

00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:15.120
in front of the guest

00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:16.680
during the banquet at Lou's residence?

00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:18.400
You'll be blessing the Cheng family

00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:20.360
and making the Lou family proud
at the same time.

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:24.960
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:33.960
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:43:35.520 --> 00:43:42.840
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:51.440
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:56.160
The light between your brows

00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:00.640
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:08.760
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:19.040
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:27.760
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:36.480
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:44:37.040 --> 00:44:40.720
Both of us will be

00:44:41.080 --> 00:44:51.940
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:44:54.280 --> 00:45:00.580
Our sincerity
