00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.040
Today,

00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:11.000
the kitchen has especially prepared
golden dates as snacks for all of you.

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.080
It takes more than ten stages
to make it.

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:15.720
You can say it was done meticulously.

00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:18.040
Why don't all of you here try it?

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.520
Cheng Yang, try it first.

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:25.720
I supposed it's Miss Cheng Shaoshang's
first time trying it.

00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:27.520
Help yourself.

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.080
Aren't these just golden dates?

00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:37.760
How is this rare?

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.640
I once killed a leopard with a knife

00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:42.320
and dissected it myself to make wine
from its bones for my father.

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:43.520
What about you?

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:45.040
I supposed you've never had
a taste of it before.

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:46.440
Wan Qiqi,

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.400
today is Princess Yuchang's birthday.

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:49.880
How can you talk

00:02:49.880 --> 00:02:52.000
and behave like a savage?

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:53.680
At the imperial banquet,

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.160
Father presented the leopard-bone wine
to His Majesty.

00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:59.160
His Majesty praised me
for being fierce like my father.

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:00.080
Why?

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:01.680
Are you trying to say

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:03.600
that His Majesty is a savage too?

00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.760
I...

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:08.520
This date is indeed tasty.

00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:12.160
You've mistaken.

00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:15.000
What you tried isn't a real date.

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:16.600
The golden date

00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:19.680
was steamed and fried
with honey-coated butter noodles.

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.240
It looks like a date. But it's not.

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.200
His Majesty is trying
to propose frugality to the nation.

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:29.200
But look at you trying

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:30.920
to belittle others with extravagance.

00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:32.760
Stop trying to bring His Majesty
in every subject.

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.120
You should look at what you're wearing.

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.200
That's true.

00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:37.560
If you're considerate
of the people's sufferings,

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.040
why aren't you wearing rags

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:40.200
and farming in the fields?

00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:40.920
I supposed

00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:43.000
you're reluctant to part
from your wealth.

00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:49.480
Qiqi has fought in battle
with General Wan for many years.

00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:51.360
They had to compensate families
of fallen soldiers.

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.520
It's not easier than farming.

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.440
Who would spend time making a snack

00:03:55.880 --> 00:03:57.240
that requires more than ten stages?

00:03:57.640 --> 00:03:58.480
Besides,

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.080
the soldiers had to fight and kill
on the battlefield.

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:03.520
Yet, you eat and drink
to your heart's content in the capital.

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.240
Families of military officers

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.400
like us can't bear to live

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:07.960
a luxury life like this.

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.640
It doesn't matter
if we don't attend this banquet.

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.080
Also,

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.520
all the delicious food
and drinks on table

00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:16.040
are blessed by heaven

00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:18.800
and His Majesty's continuous hard work
for the country.

00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:22.200
Not forgetting soldiers
who fought hard on the front lines.

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:24.160
You're enjoying such blessings.

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:25.800
Here you are ridiculing
the descendants of military officers.

00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.760
Don't you feel ashamed at all?

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.560
Your Highness, General Ling has arrived.

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.080
Miss Shaoshang, you have such a temper.

00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:53.480
We were just being amusing.

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.720
Don't make a fool of yourselves
in front of distinguished guests.

00:04:55.760 --> 00:04:57.040
Do we have distinguished guests here?

00:04:58.520 --> 00:04:59.280
You?

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:00.680
You?

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:02.320
Or are you the distinguished guest?

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:04.720
Wang Ling,

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.640
stop trying to scare others.

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:07.880
It's Zisheng.

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.560
Zisheng is here

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.560
to celebrate Princess Yuchang's
birthday.

00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:16.400
I've forgotten about it.

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:18.120
I think Miss Cheng Shaoshang

00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.160
was confined in the village.

00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:22.320
She wouldn't have had the chance
to meet Zisheng.

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:26.440
How about this?

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.720
If you're obedient today,

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:30.440
you might be able to have a glance.

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:31.520
Wang Ling,

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:33.240
Can you see the obsession on your face?

00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:35.800
You can meet him alone if you want to.

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.800
Why are you dragging Shaoshang in this?

00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:41.040
I was wondering who that is.

00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.240
It's only Zisheng.

00:05:45.760 --> 00:05:46.960
I'll have to excuse myself, then.

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.040
Wang Ling,

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:55.040
Zisheng has admired me for a long time.

00:05:56.960 --> 00:05:58.760
But I'm not interested in him.

00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:00.600
It'll only make things awkward
to see him.

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:03.160
I shall take my leave, Your Highness.

00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.000
You are...

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:40.760
I'm someone who has been admiring you
for a long time.

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.480
Yet, you show no interest in me at all.

00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:45.440
I'm Zisheng.

00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.680
There you are, General Ling.

00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.680
Have a seat.

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.160
(Ling Buyi?)

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.440
(So Ling Buyi is Zisheng.)

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:17.160
(I'm dead.)

00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.040
Qiqi.

00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:22.400
Cheng Yang.

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:24.360
Yangyang.

00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:27.160
I think the golden date is bad.

00:07:27.640 --> 00:07:28.560
I don't feel well.

00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:31.040
My stomach hurts.

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:37.280
Hurry.

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.840
I'm thrilled

00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:42.120
that you accepted my invitation

00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:43.560
to attend my birthday banquet.

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.160
I already regretted coming.

00:07:45.880 --> 00:07:47.240
I see Lord Ruyang's Mansion

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.000
doesn't welcome military officers.

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:51.720
You rode to wars
and rendered military achievements.

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.160
How am I not welcoming you

00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.440
when I can't admire you enough.

00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:57.720
Miss Cheng Shaoshang
was only joking just now.

00:07:57.840 --> 00:07:59.440
If we really look down on
the new general,

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:01.440
I wouldn't have invited them.

00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:02.600
But I don't see anyone

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.880
from the military families.

00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:07.520
I really did invite them!

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.600
Shaoshang and Qiqi just left.

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.280
Zhaojun is not here yet
because she has another engagement.

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:13.680
General Ling, where are you going?

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.960
The banquet is about to start!

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.120
Young Master went

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.160
to meet military officers
who knew nothing about golden dates.

00:08:30.320 --> 00:08:31.160
Wait.

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:34.160
Zisheng is Ling Buyi.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:36.760
Ling Buyi is Zisheng?

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.080
You don't even know
what Zisheng looks like.

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.160
Why did you brag that he admires you?

00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:45.040
I was only trying to agitate Wang Ling.

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.600
I didn't expect him to be there.

00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.120
But why does General Ling seem

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.800
to know you very well?

00:08:49.800 --> 00:08:50.920
Not at all.

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:53.640
Do you still remember
Granduncle being arrested?

00:08:54.640 --> 00:08:56.240
When he was trying
to capture Granduncle,

00:08:56.280 --> 00:08:58.240
I pointed him the way
through the curtain.

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.720
Who would have known that he repaid
my kindness with ingratitude?

00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:01.480
He came to our residence

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.240
and told father a lot of things.

00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:06.840
Do you know

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.840
Princess Yuchang like Ling Buyi?

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:11.600
Do you know

00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:13.080
about Princess Yuchang falling

00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:13.840
into the water?

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.760
I know.

00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:17.720
I went to join other spectators.

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.400
But I noticed Princess Yuchang

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:20.960
was pretending to drown
in shallow water

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:22.480
and let her evil servants stand
in the way.

00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:24.520
So I kicked her servant into the water.

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:26.760
Who?

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.280
So her trick was exposed.

00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.000
So you were behind that?

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:36.320
I heard

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:38.200
that Princess Yuchang tried
to lure Ling Buyi

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.920
by falling into the water.

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:41.120
I had no idea

00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.720
you exposed her scheme with one kick.

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.560
When she returned home,

00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.200
her eyes were red
like rotten peaches from crying.

00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:50.240
Everyone in the capital looked
at her like a joke.

00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:54.600
Qiqi,

00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.400
this is a serious matter.

00:09:56.800 --> 00:09:58.600
Don't ever tell anyone about this.

00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:00.200
Don't let my mother know about this.

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.920
If she finds out, she'll skin me alive.

00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:04.960
It's not a birthday banquet.

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.440
It's obviously the Hongmen Banquet.

00:10:07.160 --> 00:10:08.240
It doesn't matter if we don't come.

00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:10.000
I feel the same.

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:10.920
I hate mingling

00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:13.520
with those pretentious aristocratic women.

00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:16.080
I prefer those from the Cheng Family.

00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:18.560
My father always talks about you.

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.720
You're completely different
from your mother,

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.480
who's rigid and conservative.
How tedious.

00:10:24.760 --> 00:10:26.560
Do you and Mr. Wan

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.440
really think so?

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.360
Of course.

00:10:31.160 --> 00:10:32.200
I do have

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.480
a feeling of regret

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.160
that I couldn't meet you earlier.

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:37.920
I think Qiqi has a good nature.

00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:39.360
She's not what Song said

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.440
about trying to be the eldest
when she's the youngest.

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.120
Who tries to be the eldest?

00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:46.240
I can't believe this Cheng Song.

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.920
He only knows how
to make up stories about me.

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.160
Where is he now?

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.520
I think Song is shooting arrows

00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:56.800
with other young masters.

00:10:56.880 --> 00:10:58.000
Come with me. I'm going to confront him.

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.160
Wait, Qiqi.

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:01.840
I won't be going.

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.000
You can go ahead first.
I'll look around.

00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:05.240
Then you should be careful.

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.120
Those noble ladies appear weak.

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.120
But it's not easy to get along with them.

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:10.160
Yangyang, come with me, then.

00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:11.960
Yangyang, come on.

00:11:12.400 --> 00:11:14.040
This is upsetting.

00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.360
I'm going to teach him a lesson.

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.600
I'm sorry, Song.

00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:19.440
Slow down, Qiqi.

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.040
Prince Xiao, stop following me.

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.480
Zhaojun. Stop, Zhaojun.

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.360
Wait for me, Zhaojun.

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:30.760
Prince Xiao, stop it.

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.400
Zhaojun. Zhaojun.

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.040
Zhaojun.

00:11:34.040 --> 00:11:34.880
Prince Xiao,

00:11:35.400 --> 00:11:36.400
stop doing this.

00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:41.160
What brings you

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.200
to Princess Yuchang's birthday banquet?

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.520
After spending time with you lately,

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.080
I feel we get along very well.

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.040
I have the intention of asking
the He Family for your hand in marriage.

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.160
But you kept avoiding me.

00:11:51.160 --> 00:11:53.080
Did I do anything wrong

00:11:53.520 --> 00:11:55.160
that made you dislike me?

00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.040
We had only known each other
for several days.

00:11:57.400 --> 00:11:58.760
Don't you think it's too quick

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.000
to propose?

00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:02.880
Besides,

00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:05.560
I'm already betrothed.

00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.120
Do you mean

00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.720
the lad from the Lou Family?

00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:12.400
Didn't you say

00:12:12.400 --> 00:12:14.760
he's dull and speak monotonously to you?

00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.960
But if I break the betrothal,

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.840
Yao will be a laughingstock.

00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:21.520
You are thoughtful of him.

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.680
Yet, he doesn't know how to cherish you.

00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:25.360
He always upsets you.

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.200
It breaks my heart to see you like this.

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.360
Isn't that Fourth Lady Cheng?

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.320
Why are you

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.280
dressing up like an old dame today?

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:03.800
It doesn't concern you.

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.000
Even nanny doesn't wear
these colors.

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.520
It doesn't concern your nanny.

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.560
My teacher had received
Madam Sang's letter.

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:13.040
What does this have to do
with your teacher...

00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:20.360
If you want to thank me, do it properly.

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.240
How can you say such infuriating words
when you see me?

00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:26.320
Thank you, Miss.

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:30.960
My teacher was depressed
because he was troubled by this.

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.800
He feels so much better now.

00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:34.800
I came especially to thank you.

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.320
What I said before still counts.

00:13:36.760 --> 00:13:37.920
If you have any trouble in the future,

00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:39.520
I'll lend you a hand.

00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:41.640
All right.

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:43.520
I'll remember that.

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:45.120
But don't worry.

00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:47.360
I won't ask you to rebel

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.040
or act in bad faith.

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:50.880
And I won't let you marry me.

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:52.840
Since it's settled,

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.160
we should bid farewell.

00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:56.040
Who says I'm going to bid farewell?

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.280
You're really here.

00:14:07.640 --> 00:14:08.520
Yao?

00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:15.400
Yao.

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:17.840
Lou Yao.

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.520
Stop right there.
What are you planning to do?

00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.320
I should be asking the same thing.

00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:24.040
I've heard it loud and clear.

00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:25.520
He plans to ask the He Family
for your hand.

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:26.680
Yes.

00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:28.160
The Xiao Family has the intention.

00:14:28.280 --> 00:14:29.760
But I haven't given my reply.

00:14:30.520 --> 00:14:32.160
If you're willing to treat me better,

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:34.040
I'll ask father to turn them down.

00:14:34.160 --> 00:14:36.080
After all, we were betrothed
since we were children.

00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:39.160
I wouldn't want anyone to ridicule you.

00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:41.840
You can just marry him.

00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.120
I won't feel reluctant at all.

00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:45.760
I tolerated you until this day

00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:46.840
because the Lou Family honors
their promises.

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:47.800
Fine!

00:14:47.880 --> 00:14:49.800
I don't care about it too.
We can just break it off.

00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:51.600
I'll marry Prince Xiao as you wished.

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:53.440
He never upsets me the way you do.

00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:54.560
He's considerate

00:14:54.640 --> 00:14:56.400
and far much better than you!

00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:57.760
Listen.

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.760
After we get married,

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:00.360
I'll move to Feng Yi County with him.

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:03.600
We'll travel to places
when we have time.

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.680
He had also built a villa in Shu.

00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:07.480
He said he'll give it to me
in the future.

00:15:07.880 --> 00:15:10.560
I don't know how happniess I'd be with him.

00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:12.760
Perhaps we may never see
each other again!

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.120
Fine, I'll take your word for it.

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.000
Fine!

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.440
Stop right there!

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:20.960
What are you looking at?

00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:22.560
I'll gouge your eyes out!

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:27.480
Miss, I apologize on her behalf.

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.560
Don't take it to heart.

00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.240
I'm not the only one here...

00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:43.560
Yuan Shanjian,

00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:44.720
you're a scum.

00:15:44.920 --> 00:15:46.960
Why didn't you drag me along
when you go and hide?

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.000
People of the opposite gender
shouldn't be intimate.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.280
Moreover,

00:15:53.400 --> 00:15:55.040
didn't you bid farewell just now?

00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:00.240
I want you to know

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.000
that this matter

00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.000
doesn't end here.

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.000
Do you know who those two are?

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.480
That young man is Lou Yao,

00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.160
the youngest son of the second chamber
of the Lou Family from Hedong.

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.200
The young lady is He Zhaojun,

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.360
the daughter of Cavalry General He Yong.

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.560
They were betrothed
since they were children.

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:19.680
I don't want to know.

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:21.520
This doesn't concern me.

00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:25.080
You're not a child anymore.

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.840
Not only do you have to study,

00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:28.160
but you must also study
the ancestry of the aristocratic family

00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:29.640
and sacrificial rites.

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.760
You should start studying these
as soon as possible.

00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:34.760
I don't think you're good at anything
other than quarreling.

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:36.360
Does your mother have no plans for you?

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:37.960
Is it because she just returned
to the capital

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.840
that she didn't have time
to find a female teacher

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:40.760
for you and your sister?

00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:42.120
I can recommend one or two teachers.

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.560
Go away.

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.200
If the Xiao and He Family
become in-laws.

00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.160
Many people will get involved
in this case.

00:16:55.760 --> 00:16:56.720
We must solve

00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:59.120
this case quickly.

00:16:59.560 --> 00:17:00.480
Find out

00:17:00.640 --> 00:17:02.040
if any officials from Shu came
to the capital

00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.080
in the past six months.

00:17:04.600 --> 00:17:07.720
Are you suspecting
Prince Xiao is colluding with the Shu?

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.280
Previous batches of armaments
were transported to Shu.

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.400
Shu has surrendered for many years,
and there are no battles.

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:15.480
Why are they buying
so many military weapons?

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.400
I'm afraid Shu has second thoughts.

00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.480
We must prepare

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.720
in advance.

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.800
Yuan Shen

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.840
isn't normal.

00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:45.160
It's Cheng Yang's handkerchief.

00:17:46.320 --> 00:17:48.120
(Help! Help!)

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:50.440
(Third Lady Cheng has fallen
into the water!)

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.200
(Help!)

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:54.560
(Third Lady Cheng has fallen
into the water!)

00:17:58.360 --> 00:17:59.120
Help!

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.400
Help!

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:03.240
Cheng Yang!

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.000
Help!

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.080
Help!

00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.400
Help!

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:20.200
Niaoniao!

00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:22.400
Cheng Yang, come to me.

00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:23.400
Cheng Yang.

00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:25.640
Careful.

00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:35.000
How did you fall into the water?

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.840
I knew you did this.

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.680
Only both of you would resort

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:46.640
to such lowly tricks.

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.480
Niaoniao,

00:18:47.520 --> 00:18:48.600
don't be upset.

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.840
Lest you'll disgrace the family.

00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:51.920
Disgrace?

00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:54.400
Not only did you ruin
Her Highness's plan,

00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:56.080
you deliberately seduced Zisheng.

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:58.160
No one in this world

00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.840
would stoop lower than you.

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:03.920
Well, it's not surprising.

00:19:05.600 --> 00:19:07.720
Your parents abandoned you
when you were a child.

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.800
Your Second Aunt never raised you well.

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.000
What do you know of frankness

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.560
or etiquette?

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.040
Such sinister and immoral conduct

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.080
can only be committed

00:19:22.320 --> 00:19:24.560
by a vulgar, illiterate
who has no parents like you!

00:19:31.560 --> 00:19:32.560
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.240
I'm going to beat you to death!

00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:41.280
How dare you bully Cheng Yang?

00:19:41.840 --> 00:19:42.440
Stop it!

00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:44.040
This is for bullying Cheng Yang.

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.560
How dare you bully Cheng Yang!

00:19:45.560 --> 00:19:46.360
Stop it!

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:49.600
Why you Cheng Shaoshang!

00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:52.200
I'm going to beat you to death!

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:52.960
Stop fighting!

00:19:54.760 --> 00:19:55.560
Stop it right now!

00:19:55.560 --> 00:19:56.160
How dare you pinch me?

00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:56.920
I'm going to pinch you!

00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.680
Help! Let me go!

00:20:06.280 --> 00:20:07.240
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:09.960
are you mad? How dare you hit me?

00:20:10.520 --> 00:20:11.920
You vile savage!

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.400
Fight?

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.320
They actually had a fight.

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.240
This Fourth Lady Cheng

00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:20.160
sure is

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.720
unexpected.

00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:26.840
It hurts.

00:20:30.520 --> 00:20:32.040
Look at your pitiful state.

00:20:32.800 --> 00:20:35.040
Why did you have to resort to violence
because of a disagreement?

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:36.760
Who's unruly daughter

00:20:36.760 --> 00:20:38.600
is this?

00:20:41.760 --> 00:20:44.560
Young Lady Wang is
our distinguished guest.

00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:42.820
(Princess Consort Ruyang)

00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:45.800
How could

00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:46.300
a lady like you cause injury to others?

00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:47.600
(Princess Consort Ruyang)
a lady like you cause injury to others?

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.280
They obviously hit her too.

00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:51.560
You can't say Shaoshang was
the only one hitting them.

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.480
Your Highness, calm down.

00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:55.000
Everyone is at fault

00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.600
in this matter.

00:20:56.800 --> 00:20:58.200
But no matter how upset we feel,

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:59.600
we must send for a physician

00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:01.560
to check on the Young Lady
of the Wang Family.

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.440
It'll be too late to treat

00:21:03.560 --> 00:21:04.600
if there's any disfigurement.

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.800
Shaoshang suffers such serious injuries.

00:21:06.800 --> 00:21:07.800
Young Lady Wang,

00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:09.000
how hard did you hit her?

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:09.960
You...

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.440
I didn't hit her that hard.

00:21:14.840 --> 00:21:17.280
She started it first.

00:21:17.560 --> 00:21:19.520
She's a lunatic!

00:21:19.520 --> 00:21:20.400
Do you have any evidence?

00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:21.320
I...

00:21:21.320 --> 00:21:22.120
Yes,

00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:24.800
I started it first.

00:21:41.520 --> 00:21:43.240
When I passed by the garden,

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:44.640
I noticed

00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:47.400
Cheng Yang who can't swim
was pushed into the lake.

00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:49.600
They did that to lure me

00:21:49.800 --> 00:21:50.880
and harm me.

00:21:53.040 --> 00:21:54.080
They even called me

00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:55.520
vulgar and illiterate,

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.720
who have no parents to teach me.

00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:00.280
Even if I have no parents to teach me,

00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:01.640
I'd never do anything

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.520
that disregards human life.

00:22:04.600 --> 00:22:05.880
In that case,

00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:07.000
today's incident is caused

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:08.760
by parents like us

00:22:09.040 --> 00:22:11.240
who failed to teach our daughters well.

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.080
Ling always has a sharp tongue
but a soft heart.

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:16.640
She normally offends a lot of people.

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:18.800
Even if she said something wrong...

00:22:18.800 --> 00:22:20.120
She didn't say anything wrong.

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.640
Everything she said is

00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:27.040
the truth.

00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:28.440
I can't refute

00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:29.920
this matter.

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.720
But she tried to harm my family

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.240
by pushing Cheng Yang into the water.

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:34.680
I can't forgive her for this.

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.240
You shouldn't hurt others by picking on
their shortcomings in a fight.

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.280
Do you think

00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:39.240
Shaoshang doesn't read well
or behave properly

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.800
because she's lazy or foolish?

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:43.880
You knew you were right
but insisted on rubbing on her wounds.

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.240
Is this the upbringing
of an aristocratic family?

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:46.920
Today,

00:22:47.040 --> 00:22:48.920
they even ridiculed the descendants
of the military families

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.840
for lacking knowledge.

00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:51.760
But didn't they push Cheng Yang
into the water

00:22:51.760 --> 00:22:53.400
despite her well-upbringing?

00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:55.160
Yangyang, tell us. Did they...

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:58.680
Yangyang,

00:22:58.760 --> 00:22:59.960
can you speak yet?

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.320
Cheng Yang can't say a word.

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:04.160
See how pitiful Yangyang is.

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.920
So what?

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.280
The ladies are just playing around.

00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:13.720
How can you resort to violence
because of a disagreement?

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.840
If Madam Wen Xiu pursues this matter,

00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.160
can all of you bear the punishment?

00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:19.320
That's right.

00:23:19.320 --> 00:23:21.320
It's only a group
of ladies playing around.

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.480
But one mustn't hurt innocent lives.

00:23:23.560 --> 00:23:25.280
If Your Highness wants
to resort to punishment,

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.320
you must punish both of them.

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:29.480
The person who started
the fight should be punished.

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.040
It was Young Lady Wang
who pushed Cheng Yang into the water.

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:36.200
They even tried to make me fall
into the lake

00:23:36.360 --> 00:23:37.680
by tripping me
with a horse-tripping rope.

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:39.400
That's slander.

00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:42.600
You can't accuse without any evidence.

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.360
General Ling has arrived!

00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.760
Niaoniao.

00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:15.200
Ladies,

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.320
my bodyguard

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.520
found this horse tripping rope
in the garden.

00:24:22.580 --> 00:24:23.680
(Prince)

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.980
There's also a family emblem

00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:26.720
at the end of the rope.

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:30.800
If Your Highness wishes
to learn to investigate cases,

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.160
you'll need evidence.

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:36.160
And this is

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:40.320
the evidence.

00:24:44.840 --> 00:24:47.200
Zisheng, you're interesting.

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.400
Why did you pick up
a pile of rotten ropes?

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:52.120
I said it's a horse tripping rope.

00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:55.800
If Marchioness Chengyang
don't believe me,

00:24:56.600 --> 00:24:58.680
you can inspect Young Lady
of the Lou Family's hand.

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.360
Not only her scheme had failed,

00:25:03.520 --> 00:25:04.400
It's

00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:10.480
but the horse tripping rope
caused abrasion to her hand.

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.280
a stupid move.

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.560
Zisheng, that's harsh.

00:25:22.600 --> 00:25:24.200
It's a family matter.

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.560
This matter concerns a person's life.

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.280
If Your Highness can't try this,

00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:29.400
I can personally try this case

00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:31.800
at the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.

00:25:53.280 --> 00:25:54.120
Excuse me.

00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:09.400
I've already said

00:26:09.560 --> 00:26:12.000
that it's only
a group of ladies playing around.

00:26:12.360 --> 00:26:14.240
Is it worth it for elders like us

00:26:14.320 --> 00:26:16.000
to blow it out of proportion?

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.160
Even the Ministry of Justice
is brought up.

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:21.960
I think we should let this matter rest.

00:26:24.120 --> 00:26:24.960
Yes.

00:26:25.120 --> 00:26:27.400
Young Lady Wang's mother, Madam Wen Xiu,

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:28.520
isn't here today.

00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:30.160
So naturally,
we'll let this matter rest.

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.240
Otherwise,

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:33.080
it wouldn't settle this easily.

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.200
What do you say, First Madam Cheng?

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:46.440
It hurts!

00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:51.160
Niaoniao!

00:26:51.320 --> 00:26:52.360
Niaoniao!

00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:54.640
Niaoniao!

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:57.240
Niaoniao!

00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:58.400
Niaoniao!

00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:06.440
It hurts.

00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.480
Over here.

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.760
I can't believe that Young Lady Wang.

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:12.960
You brought gifts
for a birthday celebration.

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:15.080
I can't believe
they beat you up like this.

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:16.640
They're too arrogant.

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.520
No, they didn't do this to me.

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.200
If only you could see

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.800
what I did to Young Lady Wang.

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.400
That's what I call tragic.

00:27:28.280 --> 00:27:29.080
Don't worry.

00:27:29.080 --> 00:27:31.160
I did this to myself.
I know when to hold back.

00:27:32.600 --> 00:27:33.840
You did this to yourself?

00:27:35.520 --> 00:27:36.440
Young Lady,

00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:38.760
look into the mirror.

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.680
How can you say you held back
when you're in this state?

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:53.840
You don't say.

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:56.640
The bruises look symmetrical.

00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:01.400
Lianfang, don't worry.

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.080
It may look swollen now.

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:04.800
It'll reside after two days.

00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:07.560
But it's different for Wang Ling.

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.680
I pinched her waist

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.760
with this miracle technique of mine.

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.720
I assure you she can't get up from bed

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:17.080
and couldn't sleep every night.

00:28:22.840 --> 00:28:23.680
Young Lady,

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.120
Madam asked you to head
to Jiuzhui Hall for questioning.

00:28:31.760 --> 00:28:32.480
Lianfang,

00:28:33.040 --> 00:28:34.120
tell my brothers

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.720
to go to Jiuzhui Hall

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.640
to rescue me.

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.440
Yes, Young Lady.

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:38.200
Wait.

00:28:40.040 --> 00:28:41.080
Open your eyes.

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:44.480
Wider.

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.920
Any tears?

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.240
That's it. Maintain it.

00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:57.320
Tell them I won't survive long.

00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:59.240
Go.

00:29:01.800 --> 00:29:02.640
Keep it that way.

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.820
Mother.

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:40.060
Didn't you say it was just
a small fight?

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:41.980
How dare that lass

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:43.860
beat you to this state?

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:46.980
Child,

00:29:47.060 --> 00:29:48.060
does it hurt?

00:29:48.540 --> 00:29:49.860
Can you see me?

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:51.740
Father, don't worry.

00:29:52.540 --> 00:29:53.500
I'm all right.

00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:55.660
Greetings, Father.

00:29:55.780 --> 00:29:56.740
It's all right.

00:29:59.300 --> 00:30:00.260
Greetings, Mother.

00:30:01.100 --> 00:30:02.180
Over here.

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:04.660
Greetings, Mother.

00:30:06.580 --> 00:30:07.380
Enough.

00:30:08.620 --> 00:30:10.060
Niaoniao is not the only one who's hurt.

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:11.580
General,

00:30:12.100 --> 00:30:14.500
don't just be concerned
about your own child.

00:30:15.340 --> 00:30:16.660
Are you saying other ladies

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:18.020
were beaten in this state too?

00:30:18.340 --> 00:30:18.900
Fine.

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:20.340
They were hit somewhere else.

00:30:22.860 --> 00:30:24.180
When young girls fight,

00:30:24.260 --> 00:30:26.700
they can't inflict serious injuries
because they're delicate.

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:29.540
They can break a rib
or break a hand or leg.

00:30:29.860 --> 00:30:31.300
The face is most important here.

00:30:32.060 --> 00:30:34.180
Niaoniao has not been betrothed yet.

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:35.660
If she's disfigured,

00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:36.780
I'm not going to settle with them!

00:30:38.820 --> 00:30:39.660
Shaoshang,

00:30:40.580 --> 00:30:41.500
answer me this.

00:30:42.460 --> 00:30:43.820
Do you know what you did wrong today?

00:30:44.380 --> 00:30:46.340
Why are you reprimanding her
when she was beaten like this?

00:30:46.340 --> 00:30:47.380
I'm sorry.

00:30:50.780 --> 00:30:51.540
All right.

00:30:52.020 --> 00:30:53.740
Tell me what you did wrong.

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:58.020
From now on,

00:30:59.780 --> 00:31:01.580
I'll never start a fight

00:31:02.020 --> 00:31:03.020
no matter

00:31:03.340 --> 00:31:04.700
who bullies Cheng Yang,

00:31:05.260 --> 00:31:06.740
deliberately humiliate me,

00:31:07.580 --> 00:31:09.220
or slander the Cheng Family.

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:12.180
Father. Mother.

00:31:14.420 --> 00:31:15.340
Even if

00:31:15.780 --> 00:31:17.060
anyone wants to kill me,

00:31:19.020 --> 00:31:21.140
I'll never hurt other people
in the future.

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:24.460
Niaoniao.

00:31:24.580 --> 00:31:25.420
Niaoniao.

00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:27.500
Don't you act defiantly out of spite.

00:31:27.820 --> 00:31:29.380
Don't you have elders in the household?

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:31.180
If you're reasonable,

00:31:31.420 --> 00:31:32.900
why didn't you talk to the elders

00:31:33.300 --> 00:31:34.620
and start a fight instead?

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:37.780
I don't care if you're apologetic.

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:38.940
Tomorrow,

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:40.860
you must go to General Wang's residence

00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:42.460
and apologize to Wang Ling.

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:43.180
I...

00:31:46.100 --> 00:31:47.340
I can't go.

00:31:48.580 --> 00:31:49.380
Wang Ling...

00:31:49.820 --> 00:31:51.980
Wang Ling deserves to be hit.

00:31:54.060 --> 00:31:55.460
That's bold of you.

00:32:02.020 --> 00:32:03.340
I shall see

00:32:03.460 --> 00:32:04.620
if you'll admit your mistakes today!

00:32:06.420 --> 00:32:07.220
Guards!

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:11.580
- Mother!
- Mother, calm down!

00:32:11.580 --> 00:32:12.740
What are you doing here?

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:13.980
What are you doing?

00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:14.580
Mother,

00:32:14.580 --> 00:32:15.660
Niaoniao has suffered
a lot of beatings today.

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:16.940
You can't punish her anymore.

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:18.220
He's right. You mustn't hit her.

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:19.540
She's already in a pitiful state.

00:32:19.540 --> 00:32:20.740
Niaoniao is so pitiful.

00:32:21.300 --> 00:32:22.540
What are you doing?

00:32:22.900 --> 00:32:23.660
Get off me!

00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:24.820
Move aside!

00:32:25.820 --> 00:32:27.300
Get out, all of you!

00:32:30.620 --> 00:32:31.540
Look how

00:32:31.780 --> 00:32:33.420
you've upset your mother.

00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:34.820
Why are you still here? Leave!

00:32:36.060 --> 00:32:37.380
Are you waiting to be punished?

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.500
Go! Get out!

00:32:38.540 --> 00:32:40.060
Go now!

00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:41.620
Leave now!

00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:42.340
You...

00:32:42.540 --> 00:32:43.260
Go! Go! Go!

00:32:43.260 --> 00:32:44.340
I didn't say she could leave.

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.860
I'm not done with her yet.

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:49.140
Didn't you tell everyone to leave?

00:32:49.660 --> 00:32:51.500
So I told them to leave.

00:32:53.620 --> 00:32:55.020
Why are you still here, then?

00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:57.340
I dare not leave.

00:32:57.940 --> 00:33:00.060
If I leave, I won't be able to return.

00:33:08.020 --> 00:33:08.860
It's all right.

00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:09.580
We're almost there.

00:33:09.580 --> 00:33:10.420
You can put me down now.

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:12.940
There's no one behind us. I'm fine.

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:14.340
All right, we're here.

00:33:14.340 --> 00:33:15.580
You don't have to worry.

00:33:19.340 --> 00:33:20.700
Stop. Stop. I feel dizzy.

00:33:20.780 --> 00:33:21.780
I'm fine.

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:23.540
I'm not hurt at all.

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.860
I'm all right.

00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:26.740
If Shaogong and I were there,

00:33:27.260 --> 00:33:29.340
you and Yangyang wouldn't suffer
this much.

00:33:29.860 --> 00:33:31.100
Song, don't say that.

00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:33.140
As long as you're home,

00:33:34.100 --> 00:33:35.900
I'd have to suffer from beatings again.

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:38.420
If you didn't come in time,

00:33:38.260 --> 00:33:39.540
you won't be able to escape
from this beating.

00:33:40.260 --> 00:33:41.820
When mother wants to punish anyone,

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:43.220
she always succeeds.

00:33:45.020 --> 00:33:45.820
Niaoniao,

00:33:46.100 --> 00:33:47.380
what are you planning to do now?

00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:49.820
How about you do what I always do?

00:33:51.020 --> 00:33:51.780
Run.

00:33:51.820 --> 00:33:53.060
This is indeed a good idea.

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:55.380
Every time Shaogong left the house

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:56.540
and came home after hiding for a while,

00:33:56.540 --> 00:33:58.340
mother would consider
the circumstances of the situation

00:33:58.340 --> 00:33:59.460
if she was no longer upset.

00:34:00.380 --> 00:34:01.580
It doesn't work every time.

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:05.180
It may only work two out of ten times.

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:08.860
That's better than waiting hopelessly
for punishment.

00:34:09.580 --> 00:34:12.100
How about you go back
and ask for forgiveness?

00:34:12.220 --> 00:34:13.780
Are you asking me to get some beatings?

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:15.620
I can never do such

00:34:15.620 --> 00:34:17.220
a foolish thing in my life.

00:34:21.020 --> 00:34:21.780
Niaoniao,

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.860
it's my fault.

00:34:28.500 --> 00:34:30.220
If I wasn't careless,

00:34:30.700 --> 00:34:31.940
I wouldn't fall into their trap.

00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:34.740
it wouldn't cause such a disaster.

00:34:35.140 --> 00:34:36.460
Don't feel guilty about it.

00:34:37.060 --> 00:34:37.940
Besides,

00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:39.220
I would find a chance

00:34:39.220 --> 00:34:41.020
to teach them a lesson for my sake.

00:34:42.060 --> 00:34:43.300
Even if it's not for your sake,

00:34:43.740 --> 00:34:45.060
you're someone who's well-behaved

00:34:45.500 --> 00:34:46.860
in mother's eyes.

00:34:47.220 --> 00:34:49.300
Even if you caused trouble,
it was beyond your control.

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.660
It's not the same for me.

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:54.740
Even if I caused trouble
by saving someone,

00:34:55.620 --> 00:34:56.860
that's also intentional to her.

00:34:57.540 --> 00:34:58.700
I've already decided.

00:35:00.660 --> 00:35:01.700
Song's idea is good.

00:35:01.940 --> 00:35:02.980
I'll run away now.

00:35:04.020 --> 00:35:04.860
I won't cause trouble

00:35:05.300 --> 00:35:06.900
for Mother again.

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.940
If you're leaving,

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:08.900
I'll go with you.

00:35:09.260 --> 00:35:10.980
He's right.
If you want to go, we'll go together.

00:35:11.220 --> 00:35:12.380
Please don't.

00:35:12.780 --> 00:35:14.900
If you leave with me,

00:35:17.220 --> 00:35:18.780
the three of us will be punished.

00:35:20.140 --> 00:35:21.340
It's better I go alone.

00:35:25.020 --> 00:35:25.860
Brothers.

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.300
Cheng Yang,

00:35:30.220 --> 00:35:31.100
I'm leaving.

00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:33.060
I'll go with you, Young Lady.

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:36.220
This is...

00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:53.920
(Marquis Chengyang's Residence)

00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:54.740
Young Lady,

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:56.740
You're not wearing enough clothing.

00:35:56.900 --> 00:35:58.620
How about you go back
and apologize to Madam?

00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:01.500
It's better than freezing
to death out here.

00:36:01.740 --> 00:36:02.380
It's also

00:36:03.140 --> 00:36:03.900
my first time...

00:36:03.980 --> 00:36:05.180
It's my first time running away
from home.

00:36:05.620 --> 00:36:06.540
I didn't know

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:08.460
it was so windy out here.

00:36:09.340 --> 00:36:10.300
I'm still inexperienced.

00:36:10.700 --> 00:36:12.540
I should have brought my fur coat!

00:36:13.780 --> 00:36:14.580
Next time...

00:36:14.860 --> 00:36:16.660
Next time, I'll be well prepared.

00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:18.860
Are you going to do this again?

00:36:35.020 --> 00:36:35.740
Dear.

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:37.900
Dear, let me give you a rub.

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:43.580
This...

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:46.620
Would I harm her?

00:36:48.620 --> 00:36:49.660
Each of you tried to stop me
from punishing her.

00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:53.100
All of you only care about Niaoniao.

00:36:52.660 --> 00:36:54.060
Now you're trying
to get on my good side.

00:36:56.220 --> 00:36:57.580
Niaoniao is a girl.

00:36:58.100 --> 00:37:00.060
You can't hit her like you do a boy.

00:37:02.060 --> 00:37:04.020
You used to say a girl
and boy are different.

00:37:04.020 --> 00:37:05.860
A boy should cause trouble

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:08.060
while a girl should marry.

00:37:08.780 --> 00:37:09.900
In that case,

00:37:10.020 --> 00:37:11.900
the punishment shouldn't be the same.

00:37:13.940 --> 00:37:15.300
Are you saying these

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:17.780
to clear Niaoniao's wrongdoings
for the rest of her life?

00:37:19.220 --> 00:37:20.260
I think

00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:22.140
Niaoniao did the right thing today.

00:37:22.820 --> 00:37:24.740
It was the Wang Family's daughter

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:26.140
who played with people's lives.

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:27.620
Do you think I don't know that?

00:37:28.140 --> 00:37:29.340
I was upset

00:37:29.580 --> 00:37:30.580
that Niaoniao didn't consider

00:37:30.580 --> 00:37:32.020
where we were at the moment.

00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:34.420
That's Lord Ruyang's Mansion.

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:36.540
Lord Ruyang is His Majesty's uncle.

00:37:36.820 --> 00:37:39.380
Lady Ruyang is known
to be unreasonable.

00:37:39.620 --> 00:37:41.100
His Majesty still has qualms

00:37:41.300 --> 00:37:42.580
and feels restrained

00:37:42.580 --> 00:37:43.820
when meeting those couple.

00:37:44.020 --> 00:37:45.740
Can't she just bear with it

00:37:45.940 --> 00:37:47.300
and not cause trouble
for the Cheng Family?

00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:48.420
How can she tolerate it?

00:37:48.580 --> 00:37:50.220
They already pushed Yangyang
into the water.

00:37:51.340 --> 00:37:53.660
You only see Niaoniao's shortcomings.

00:37:53.820 --> 00:37:56.980
She's willing to protect Cheng Yang

00:37:57.060 --> 00:37:58.620
from being bullied at a critical time.

00:37:59.060 --> 00:38:01.700
If Niaoniao pretended not
to witness that,

00:38:01.780 --> 00:38:03.340
that would be heartless.

00:38:04.340 --> 00:38:06.860
The Cheng Family has always cared
about family relations.

00:38:07.780 --> 00:38:10.660
I can see that brat possesses
as this character.

00:38:10.860 --> 00:38:11.660
But she...

00:38:12.020 --> 00:38:13.660
But she shouldn't have started the fight

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:14.780
and let others use it against her.

00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:15.740
All right.

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:18.060
Niaoniao has promised me

00:38:18.140 --> 00:38:19.940
she won't fight with others anymore.

00:38:21.460 --> 00:38:22.620
I never knew

00:38:23.300 --> 00:38:25.140
I'd be worried

00:38:25.700 --> 00:38:27.700
about my daughter getting into fights
in my life.

00:38:28.620 --> 00:38:31.060
Fortunately,
General Ling handled this justly.

00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:33.660
He came in time with evidence
to get us out of trouble.

00:38:33.700 --> 00:38:35.180
Otherwise, I wouldn't know

00:38:35.580 --> 00:38:36.980
how this matter would end up.

00:38:37.140 --> 00:38:38.020
General Ling?

00:38:39.380 --> 00:38:40.260
Do you mean Ling Buyi?

00:38:40.940 --> 00:38:41.860
He was there too?

00:38:48.700 --> 00:38:50.140
Where is Niaoniao?

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:52.460
I can't hear anything from her room.

00:38:53.580 --> 00:38:55.780
I heard she left the house
with Lianfang to hide.

00:38:57.700 --> 00:38:58.940
She can't do that.

00:38:59.220 --> 00:39:00.260
It's very cold outside.

00:39:01.020 --> 00:39:02.420
She's going to freeze.

00:39:04.580 --> 00:39:07.140
I guess you're worried about Niaoniao.

00:39:08.660 --> 00:39:10.500
I'm not worried about her.

00:39:10.540 --> 00:39:11.700
She deserves to freeze out these.

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:12.980
Better yet, freeze her hand

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:14.860
so she can't hit anyone.

00:39:18.020 --> 00:39:19.380
What were you thinking?

00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:20.860
Why are you not properly dressed?

00:39:21.580 --> 00:39:24.300
Is First Madam not willing
to give you any clothes?

00:39:25.060 --> 00:39:26.220
If you want to live,

00:39:26.500 --> 00:39:27.260
get in the carriage.

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:28.780
Young Lady,

00:39:29.060 --> 00:39:31.140
we must not get on
another man's carriage.

00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:34.020
It's in the middle of the night,
he may have bad intentions.

00:39:34.020 --> 00:39:35.380
He doesn't have bad intentions.

00:39:35.660 --> 00:39:37.420
He... He's too sick
to think of anything.

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:40.580
Come on. Let's go.

00:39:40.740 --> 00:39:41.260
Hurry.

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:42.420
Young Lady.

00:40:00.300 --> 00:40:01.460
Your bitter tricks

00:40:01.660 --> 00:40:03.500
seemed to be pretty self-defeating.

00:40:04.940 --> 00:40:06.100
What do you mean by "bitter tricks?"

00:40:06.780 --> 00:40:07.660
Mr. Yuan,

00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:09.540
you can't accuse someone
without basis.

00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:11.860
You don't have to pretend
in front of me.

00:40:15.900 --> 00:40:17.020
I heard

00:40:17.020 --> 00:40:18.500
Wang Ling didn't even attend
Princess Yuchang's

00:40:18.500 --> 00:40:19.580
birthday banquet tonight.

00:40:19.700 --> 00:40:20.780
It shows she didn't suffer
a light injury.

00:40:20.780 --> 00:40:23.580
Help! Let me go!

00:40:24.020 --> 00:40:24.900
But

00:40:25.020 --> 00:40:26.540
you didn't have to hurt yourself

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:28.860
to go up against her.

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.500
So what?

00:40:32.580 --> 00:40:33.820
I'm not scared of her anyway.

00:40:34.060 --> 00:40:35.940
Worse comes to worst, I can just decline

00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:37.540
all aristocratic family invitations.

00:40:40.860 --> 00:40:43.660
My mother planned to invite you...

00:40:46.660 --> 00:40:49.340
To invite all ladies of other families
to enjoy viewing plum blossom.

00:40:51.740 --> 00:40:52.620
View plum blossom?

00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:57.260
Could it be that you see me
as a prospect?

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:08.580
This concerns one's marriage.

00:41:08.940 --> 00:41:10.380
As a young lady,

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:11.540
can't you pretend to look shy?

00:41:11.540 --> 00:41:13.660
Why would I feel shy
when I don't want to marry you?

00:41:13.660 --> 00:41:15.700
Even if you wanted to,
I must be willing to marry you too.

00:41:16.060 --> 00:41:18.700
My future bride will be the wife
of the Yuan Family's eldest son.

00:41:19.020 --> 00:41:20.540
Of course,
she must be dignified, virtuous,

00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:21.940
and compassionate to the weak and old.

00:41:22.220 --> 00:41:25.060
Not to mention, handling rituals,
guests, and leading daughters-in-laws.

00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:26.380
She mustn't be someone like you

00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:28.900
who resort to violence
because of a disagreement.

00:41:35.300 --> 00:41:36.580
Thank you for helping me.

00:41:37.300 --> 00:41:39.140
You can take your time picking
your new bride.

00:41:39.700 --> 00:41:40.620
Take your time.

00:41:40.740 --> 00:41:42.100
We'll take our leave.

00:41:42.100 --> 00:41:42.900
Wait.

00:41:48.940 --> 00:41:50.980
This Ziyu Ointment we rarely use
at home.

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:53.500
No need to thank me.

00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:55.340
I just think your injury

00:41:55.780 --> 00:41:56.820
is unsightly.

00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:07.540
Would this disfigure me?

00:42:10.020 --> 00:42:11.820
Do you think I need

00:42:12.180 --> 00:42:13.820
to disfigure someone who looks like you?

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:16.220
You should go home now.

00:42:16.500 --> 00:42:17.860
Stop hanging around in my carriage.

00:42:18.060 --> 00:42:19.140
It's very cold outside.

00:42:19.420 --> 00:42:20.860
With this look of yours,

00:42:21.100 --> 00:42:22.940
don't come out and scare other people.

00:42:42.420 --> 00:42:43.140
Young Lady.

00:42:55.820 --> 00:42:57.780
- Brothers?
- Luckily, you didn't wander far off.

00:42:58.300 --> 00:43:00.540
Whose carriage is that?

00:43:00.540 --> 00:43:01.900
Father wants you to come home.

00:43:01.980 --> 00:43:03.100
He says Mother agreed

00:43:03.100 --> 00:43:04.140
to punish you to write.

00:43:04.140 --> 00:43:05.100
She won't pursue the rest.

00:43:05.100 --> 00:43:05.780
Write?

00:43:06.260 --> 00:43:07.220
I'd rather she beat me.

00:43:08.700 --> 00:43:09.540
I know where to go now.

00:43:09.780 --> 00:43:11.300
I'll ask Qiqi for help.

00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:12.260
I'll go to Wan's Residence.

00:43:12.380 --> 00:43:13.220
Brothers,

00:43:13.460 --> 00:43:15.060
come and pick me up

00:43:15.060 --> 00:43:16.380
after Mother is no longer angry.

00:43:17.180 --> 00:43:17.980
Lianfang,

00:43:18.060 --> 00:43:19.220
go back with them.

00:43:20.100 --> 00:43:20.980
I'll go now.

00:43:33.700 --> 00:43:35.860
I wonder what brings you

00:43:35.900 --> 00:43:38.740
to my residence?

00:43:39.540 --> 00:43:41.140
Do you really not know

00:43:41.620 --> 00:43:42.540
I think...

00:43:46.580 --> 00:43:49.180
why I came here today?

00:43:48.260 --> 00:43:50.820
I think you learned

00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:53.660
that I like collecting treasures.

00:43:53.900 --> 00:43:55.300
So you're here to appreciate them.

00:43:56.180 --> 00:43:57.180
Well, that's easy.

00:43:57.620 --> 00:43:59.060
General Ling,

00:43:59.220 --> 00:44:01.860
you can pick any treasure you like

00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:03.060
from my collection.

00:44:03.100 --> 00:44:04.500
The map of Shu.

00:44:05.340 --> 00:44:06.940
I wonder if you're willing
to give it to me.

00:44:09.260 --> 00:44:10.140
What map?

00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:13.500
Erotic paintings?

00:44:13.620 --> 00:44:15.140
I had no idea that you're...

00:44:15.140 --> 00:44:16.740
I said, the map of Shu.

00:44:21.020 --> 00:44:23.500
The map of Shu.

00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:27.260
If you're here for this map,

00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:29.060
there's nothing to be discussed anymore.

00:44:29.540 --> 00:44:31.620
My first battle was in Shu.

00:44:31.860 --> 00:44:35.540
If I had such a precious map,
I'd have presented it to His Majesty.

00:44:35.540 --> 00:44:38.580
Is there a need for you to come
and inspect it if I had it?

00:44:39.060 --> 00:44:39.900
Are you certain you don't have it?

00:44:39.980 --> 00:44:40.980
Yes.

00:44:41.100 --> 00:44:42.300
Are you not handing it over to me?

00:44:43.380 --> 00:44:44.260
General Ling,

00:44:44.700 --> 00:44:45.780
how can I hand it over to you

00:44:46.740 --> 00:44:47.860
if I don't have it?

00:45:26.870 --> 00:45:33.910
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:45:35.710 --> 00:45:42.910
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:45:44.470 --> 00:45:51.790
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:45:53.230 --> 00:46:00.390
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:46:01.350 --> 00:46:05.110
The light between your brows

00:46:05.710 --> 00:46:09.590
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:46:10.370 --> 00:46:17.710
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:46:19.710 --> 00:46:27.990
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:46:28.270 --> 00:46:36.710
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:46:37.310 --> 00:46:45.430
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:46:45.990 --> 00:46:49.670
Both of us will be

00:46:50.030 --> 00:47:00.890
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:47:03.230 --> 00:47:09.530
Our sincerity
