= Love Like The Galaxy=

00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:32.900
=Episode 29=

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:50.020
What is this smell?

00:01:50.750 --> 00:01:53.110
It's a newly mixed fragrance
for sleeping.

00:01:53.630 --> 00:01:56.470
You can tell me
the type of fragrance you like.

00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:06.820
When you start studying at the palace,

00:02:06.940 --> 00:02:08.870
you can rest here.

00:02:16.870 --> 00:02:19.220
Did you clear out this place

00:02:19.630 --> 00:02:21.630
just so I can rest, Your Majesty?

00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:25.470
Don't you think this is too wasteful?

00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:27.310
A young lady should be pampered.

00:02:27.470 --> 00:02:29.100
You left home to enter the palace

00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:31.500
to study under me.

00:02:31.590 --> 00:02:33.260
It's already hard, to begin with.

00:02:33.660 --> 00:02:35.750
If I can't let you feel at ease,

00:02:36.070 --> 00:02:37.470
won't I be sorry to your parents

00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:39.630
who think of you day and night?

00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:42.750
Take a look around.

00:02:43.070 --> 00:02:46.350
You can tell me
if you still need anything else.

00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:48.500
By the way,

00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:49.940
Zisheng said

00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:52.630
you like drawing craftsmen's designs.

00:02:53.350 --> 00:02:54.350
So I ordered Madam Zhai

00:02:54.350 --> 00:02:56.750
to place a long table,

00:02:57.070 --> 00:02:59.590
especially for you to draw your designs.

00:03:08.660 --> 00:03:09.470
Your Majesty,

00:03:10.190 --> 00:03:11.190
my mother never prepared

00:03:11.190 --> 00:03:12.940
such things for me at home.

00:03:13.190 --> 00:03:15.310
So you don't have to go
through the trouble to do these.

00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:18.310
Your mother is a female general
who fought in battles.

00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:19.630
She's decisive and firm.

00:03:20.030 --> 00:03:21.430
So she can be very strict

00:03:21.590 --> 00:03:23.100
when it comes to raising her children.

00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:27.940
I just complained about your niece

00:03:28.540 --> 00:03:30.220
in front of His Majesty.

00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:32.030
Aren't you mad at me?

00:03:32.870 --> 00:03:33.780
Not at all.

00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:37.070
Is it because I'm General Ling's
future bride?

00:03:37.350 --> 00:03:38.590
That's why you treat me nicely?

00:03:39.070 --> 00:03:40.470
Not exactly.

00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:43.910
I'm naturally curious and fond

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:47.820
of the woman whom Zisheng adores.

00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:51.220
I also heard you had a rough childhood.

00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:54.540
When I see how clever
and sensible you are,

00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:56.100
it made me all the more want

00:03:56.470 --> 00:04:00.220
to treat you better
from the bottom of my heart.

00:04:02.260 --> 00:04:04.380
But I was never a sensible child.

00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:11.230
I just complained about Wang Ling.

00:04:11.820 --> 00:04:13.070
I'm sure I've given you

00:04:13.070 --> 00:04:14.580
a lot of trouble.

00:04:15.140 --> 00:04:18.310
Ling has her mother's family,
Lord Qian'an's Mansion support.

00:04:18.550 --> 00:04:21.790
She has never suffered many grievances
since she was young.

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:24.340
But you're different.

00:04:24.940 --> 00:04:27.630
You grew up without your parents
since young

00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:30.380
and suffered mistreatment
by your grandmother and aunt.

00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:34.310
I was in a similar situation too.

00:04:34.790 --> 00:04:36.900
So I know how hard it was to survive.

00:04:37.630 --> 00:04:40.140
Thus, it's hard not to take pity on you

00:04:40.820 --> 00:04:42.190
and be partial to you.

00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:45.790
Even if you don't behave well,

00:04:46.070 --> 00:04:47.820
I don't feel offended at all.

00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:52.110
So do you know how much I favor you?

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:05.020
Thank you, Your Majesty.

00:05:06.310 --> 00:05:07.500
I understand that now.

00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:27.310
I'm sure you didn't complain
about Wang Ling

00:05:28.190 --> 00:05:30.190
just to stop her
from pestering you, right?

00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:33.190
You were clearly

00:05:34.460 --> 00:05:35.790
testing His and Her Majesty

00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:37.790
to feel them out

00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:39.630
and see how they treat you, that's all.

00:05:42.230 --> 00:05:44.790
I'll be spending time
with Her Majesty after this.

00:05:45.070 --> 00:05:46.550
If I don't know them,

00:05:46.700 --> 00:05:48.310
how can I protect myself?

00:05:50.630 --> 00:05:52.020
So have you seen

00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:54.340
Her Majesty's temperament?

00:05:56.190 --> 00:05:58.550
Her Majesty is truly a wonderful person.

00:05:59.110 --> 00:06:00.310
Even if she told me

00:06:00.790 --> 00:06:02.310
she was partial to me

00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:03.580
because she sympathized
with my childhood,

00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:05.750
I don't feel embarrassed at all.

00:06:06.260 --> 00:06:07.260
Do you know

00:06:08.310 --> 00:06:09.940
the feelings of being favored?

00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:14.020
Her Majesty treats me well

00:06:14.020 --> 00:06:15.500
even when she doesn't know me very well.

00:06:16.700 --> 00:06:18.110
Her Majesty has a really soft heart.

00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:20.500
Sometimes it may not be a good thing

00:06:21.630 --> 00:06:22.940
to have a soft heart.

00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:27.310
Why do you say so?

00:06:30.870 --> 00:06:31.700
You can ask me

00:06:32.700 --> 00:06:34.870
about His and Her Majesty's temperament

00:06:35.700 --> 00:06:36.870
if you're curious next time.

00:06:38.110 --> 00:06:39.430
Don't put yourself in danger again.

00:06:39.580 --> 00:06:41.230
But I also want them
to use the chance to know

00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:42.460
what kind of person I am.

00:06:43.550 --> 00:06:45.020
I don't like to be

00:06:45.190 --> 00:06:46.310
in a helpless situation

00:06:46.310 --> 00:06:47.820
and just follow the crowd.

00:06:48.460 --> 00:06:50.580
Even if dying during a struggle,

00:06:50.900 --> 00:06:53.630
I don't want to sit still
and be at a loss what to do.

00:06:55.140 --> 00:06:56.340
Then have you heard

00:06:57.310 --> 00:06:58.460
of my story?

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.110
I grew up in Changqiu Palace.

00:07:04.430 --> 00:07:05.260
So?

00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:08.630
So do you really want to know

00:07:10.900 --> 00:07:12.260
what kind of person I am?

00:07:16.110 --> 00:07:17.670
What kind of person are you?

00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:22.430
Come with me.

00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:26.230
Slow down, your leg.

00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:51.380
Ling Buyi,

00:07:51.750 --> 00:07:52.940
I can't run anymore.

00:08:04.550 --> 00:08:06.430
When I was a child, I always came here

00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:08.870
to watch the myriads of twinkling lights

00:08:09.340 --> 00:08:10.630
dazzling brightly like the stars.

00:08:11.580 --> 00:08:12.670
At that time,

00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:14.260
I was shorter than this wall here.

00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:15.940
So if I want to look at the lights,

00:08:16.070 --> 00:08:17.550
I had to climb up the wall.

00:08:18.580 --> 00:08:20.100
At that time, I started longing.

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:22.550
Among these bright lights,

00:08:23.820 --> 00:08:25.700
it would be nice

00:08:27.150 --> 00:08:28.620
if I could have a bright light

00:08:29.910 --> 00:08:31.070
that's truly mine.

00:08:32.790 --> 00:08:34.190
That's easy.

00:08:36.550 --> 00:08:37.460
No, it's not.

00:08:40.510 --> 00:08:41.790
It's not easy at all.

00:08:46.150 --> 00:08:47.070
Niaoniao,

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:48.740
do you know

00:08:49.430 --> 00:08:50.550
why I joined the military?

00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:51.940
I heard

00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:55.860
it was because you worship your uncle,
General Huo since young.

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.190
I joined the military

00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:01.340
to repay His Majesty for raising me

00:09:02.270 --> 00:09:03.070
and

00:09:03.270 --> 00:09:04.820
hope I can protect the people

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:07.220
among the galaxy on earth

00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:10.700
on the battlefield.

00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:27.940
What's the matter?

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:31.390
I want to stand closer
so I can see better.

00:09:33.150 --> 00:09:34.150
See what?

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:38.460
See the starlight in your eyes.

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:43.940
Then you should stand closer.

00:09:44.670 --> 00:09:45.860
So you can see better.

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:50.510
To see what better?

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.070
Look at the brightest star

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:57.910
in my eyes.

00:10:04.150 --> 00:10:05.150
That's you.

00:10:11.910 --> 00:10:13.460
Who's there!

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.910
Someone's coming. Make a run for it.

00:10:16.910 --> 00:10:17.820
Why should we?

00:10:21.670 --> 00:10:22.620
General Ling.

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:23.700
Did you see

00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.310
anything just now?

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:28.430
I didn't see anything.

00:10:29.670 --> 00:10:30.700
Nothing?

00:10:33.940 --> 00:10:35.190
Then take a good look.

00:10:40.390 --> 00:10:41.910
Let's go.

00:10:44.110 --> 00:10:45.630
Come on. Let's go.

00:11:21.140 --> 00:11:22.260
Why are you behaving in such a manner?

00:11:26.950 --> 00:11:27.780
Don't tell me

00:11:27.990 --> 00:11:29.900
His Majesty wants
to raid Cheng's residence

00:11:30.020 --> 00:11:31.230
because you caused
Ling Buyi to fall off a horse.

00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:33.950
Should we start packing

00:11:33.950 --> 00:11:35.020
and escape overnight?

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:37.310
His Majesty didn't blame me.

00:11:38.540 --> 00:11:40.540
Then why do you look frightened

00:11:41.540 --> 00:11:43.500
with your face red and neck swelling?

00:11:45.260 --> 00:11:46.990
I can let it go
if you said my face is red.

00:11:47.350 --> 00:11:48.990
Why did you have to mention my neck?

00:11:49.110 --> 00:11:50.590
Is that a nice thing to say
about a young lady?

00:11:52.660 --> 00:11:55.350
I just feel nervous when I think

00:11:55.590 --> 00:11:57.500
about learning rules
at the palace tomorrow.

00:11:57.950 --> 00:12:00.310
You're going to learn some rules
at the palace tomorrow?

00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:02.020
That's great!

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:05.620
I mean

00:12:06.310 --> 00:12:07.470
that's so unfortunate.

00:12:08.310 --> 00:12:09.870
It must be bad not being able to go home

00:12:10.230 --> 00:12:11.190
after all that lecture.

00:12:12.110 --> 00:12:14.110
So take care. I'm going to bed now.

00:12:16.590 --> 00:12:17.660
What is it?

00:12:19.830 --> 00:12:20.740
Song,

00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:22.740
have

00:12:25.230 --> 00:12:26.660
someone ever kissed you before?

00:12:27.110 --> 00:12:28.340
Why do you ask?

00:12:29.180 --> 00:12:30.180
Do you know...

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:34.030
You must not tell anyone, understand?

00:12:35.390 --> 00:12:37.270
Of course, I won't tell anyone.

00:12:39.540 --> 00:12:40.870
But I'm sure you know...

00:12:43.790 --> 00:12:46.790
It's hard to hide it from our parents.

00:12:46.790 --> 00:12:48.910
You know Mother's eyes blazing
with anger when she's mad.

00:12:48.910 --> 00:12:49.700
If she finds out...

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.270
You must not say anything
if you want to live.

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:55.030
You're right.

00:12:55.390 --> 00:12:57.540
Without a doubt,
I'd be dead meat if I tell her.

00:12:58.110 --> 00:13:00.270
If neither of us says anything...

00:13:02.870 --> 00:13:04.030
- Loyal sister.
- Good brother.

00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:05.340
- You're righteous, indeed.
- You're righteous, indeed.

00:13:13.990 --> 00:13:14.870
Song,

00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:15.990
have

00:13:18.150 --> 00:13:19.540
someone kissed you before?

00:13:22.110 --> 00:13:23.420
(Why did he cover his mouth?)

00:14:02.760 --> 00:14:03.970
Look at the brightest star

00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:07.050
in my eyes.

00:14:08.760 --> 00:14:09.840
(That's you.)

00:15:28.900 --> 00:15:29.820
Young Lady.

00:15:31.470 --> 00:15:32.590
Young Lady.

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:35.060
It's already morning.
Why are you still sleeping?

00:15:41.380 --> 00:15:42.860
Young Lady, get up.

00:15:46.380 --> 00:15:48.470
Young Lady, wake up now.

00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:51.150
General Ling's carriage
is waiting outside.

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:53.750
You're entering the palace

00:15:53.750 --> 00:15:54.950
to learn rules from Her Majesty.

00:15:55.020 --> 00:15:56.230
You must not be late.

00:15:58.060 --> 00:16:00.670
Young Lady, wake up now.

00:16:13.870 --> 00:16:14.900
Qi,

00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:17.420
why do we have to wake up so early?

00:16:18.510 --> 00:16:21.310
Young Master walked under the moonlight
until the wee hours last night.

00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:23.980
I didn't sleep a wink
because I was accompanying him.

00:16:24.310 --> 00:16:25.790
I'm so sleepy now.

00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:27.270
Isn't this Young Master's

00:16:27.270 --> 00:16:28.660
first time kissing a lady?

00:16:28.900 --> 00:16:29.660
He was swept away by it.

00:16:29.900 --> 00:16:31.070
It'll happen to you too.

00:16:32.870 --> 00:16:34.590
To sleep more,

00:16:34.900 --> 00:16:36.790
I don't need to kiss
any lady my whole life.

00:16:36.790 --> 00:16:38.180
Then you should stop dreaming

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:40.110
because we'll be waking up
this early from today.

00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:42.110
Why?

00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:43.510
Because someone is worried

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:45.870
about his future bride.

00:16:50.590 --> 00:16:51.750
Spare me.

00:16:52.750 --> 00:16:57.180
When will this be over?

00:17:13.910 --> 00:17:16.260
Courtesy and way of walking.

00:17:16.830 --> 00:17:19.590
So everything is a blessing from heaven.

00:17:20.590 --> 00:17:22.590
With respect and integrity,

00:17:22.910 --> 00:17:25.150
so everyone has their own narration.

00:17:25.830 --> 00:17:27.830
Therefore,
there are worship and tolerance.

00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:29.350
Greetings as a courtesy.

00:17:29.550 --> 00:17:31.180
Courtesy must be detailed.

00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:33.870
General Ling's carriage
is waiting outside.

00:17:35.150 --> 00:17:38.260
Young Lady, time to wake up.

00:18:02.310 --> 00:18:04.380
Young Lady, get up now.

00:18:30.820 --> 00:18:33.380
Follow the monarch after evaluation.

00:18:33.790 --> 00:18:36.550
Abide the law
because of the consequences.

00:18:36.550 --> 00:18:39.070
Suffering from the law
because of adhering to it.

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:42.860
Objects made from bamboo are used
for ceremonial rites.

00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:45.790
To fill dates and chestnuts.

00:19:04.820 --> 00:19:06.820
These are the words you've copied wrong.

00:19:07.030 --> 00:19:08.580
I've circled them for you.

00:19:09.710 --> 00:19:11.380
There are so many mistakes.

00:19:13.030 --> 00:19:15.470
You've never learned
how to write since young.

00:19:15.820 --> 00:19:17.620
So when you start learning
at this age,

00:19:17.950 --> 00:19:20.310
it's only natural
that you have to work harder.

00:19:20.580 --> 00:19:22.470
You write again if it's wrong.

00:19:23.340 --> 00:19:26.140
I can't help but doze off

00:19:26.790 --> 00:19:28.990
(when I read
these classic texts every day.)

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:38.340
There are some teachings
in the classic texts

00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:41.470
that people of your age
can't comprehend.

00:19:42.070 --> 00:19:43.030
If you don't know,

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:45.790
learning these
would naturally be boring.

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:47.180
Some books

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:48.950
are read for others.

00:19:49.270 --> 00:19:50.950
But is it really useful to us?

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:52.950
Not really.

00:19:53.230 --> 00:19:54.100
So does that mean

00:19:54.230 --> 00:19:56.950
when those ladies mock me
based on these texts

00:19:56.950 --> 00:19:58.100
saying I'm incompetent

00:19:58.750 --> 00:20:00.790
is actually not my bad?

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:01.860
Am I right?

00:20:07.950 --> 00:20:09.310
I still can't solve

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:12.380
this puzzle ring until today.

00:20:14.550 --> 00:20:15.470
I know how to do it.

00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:38.470
I solved it.

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:44.510
Your Majesty,
this is the mechanism I've invented.

00:20:45.070 --> 00:20:46.820
I'm proficient at poetry and classics

00:20:47.270 --> 00:20:49.030
while you're proficient
in building mechanisms.

00:20:49.990 --> 00:20:53.270
Everyone has something
they're good at.

00:20:53.340 --> 00:20:55.180
I made this little crossbow.

00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:58.620
(You know what others don't.)

00:21:00.580 --> 00:21:01.820
(What others know,)

00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:03.510
(I'll teach you slowly.)

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:05.100
(You'll know after some time.)

00:21:06.070 --> 00:21:08.510
This gourd is for washing.

00:21:09.950 --> 00:21:12.510
This gourd is for washing.

00:21:13.710 --> 00:21:15.100
(You don't need to feel inferior.)

00:21:15.580 --> 00:21:17.710
(You can hold your head high.)

00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:21.230
(You're no less than them.)

00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:24.550
I not only know how to build mechanisms.

00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:26.380
I know how to make something else too.

00:21:27.030 --> 00:21:28.310
Do you want to know what it is?

00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:39.380
Lady Cheng!

00:21:40.750 --> 00:21:41.620
Lady Cheng,

00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:43.230
that's preposterous.

00:21:43.310 --> 00:21:45.620
How dare you put your feet
on Her Majesty's back?

00:21:45.620 --> 00:21:47.180
I was helping Her Majesty
to relieve her back.

00:21:47.270 --> 00:21:48.790
Her Majesty says she has back problems.

00:21:48.790 --> 00:21:50.550
This method can loosen the muscles

00:21:50.550 --> 00:21:52.180
so they won't be too strained.

00:21:52.340 --> 00:21:54.070
You can ask Her Majesty
if she feels better.

00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:57.790
I do feel relieved.

00:21:59.340 --> 00:22:01.950
I had no idea Lady Shaoshang
has such a skill.

00:22:01.950 --> 00:22:02.620
Relax.

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:04.510
Lady Shaoshang,
please teach me some other day.

00:22:04.510 --> 00:22:05.510
I want to learn how to do it too.

00:22:06.340 --> 00:22:07.470
Lady Luo, are you learning it

00:22:07.470 --> 00:22:10.070
so you can use it
on your future husband in the Northwest?

00:22:11.100 --> 00:22:12.550
Madam Zhai, please don't tease me.

00:22:12.950 --> 00:22:13.990
If I could,

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:15.750
I want to attend to Her Majesty

00:22:15.950 --> 00:22:17.750
like Lady Cheng.

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:20.790
It's better than marrying
so far away from my family.

00:22:22.950 --> 00:22:23.750
Speaking of which,

00:22:23.750 --> 00:22:25.140
I'm envious of Lady Cheng

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:26.380
to have such fortune.

00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:29.470
Lady Luo is the first person

00:22:29.470 --> 00:22:30.710
who said I'm a fortunate person.

00:22:30.710 --> 00:22:31.790
Lady Cheng,

00:22:31.790 --> 00:22:34.180
you have no idea
how many girls are envious of you

00:22:34.550 --> 00:22:37.140
that you can marry
a hero like General Ling.

00:22:37.470 --> 00:22:39.790
Lady Luo, you don't have
to feel sorry for yourself.

00:22:39.950 --> 00:22:42.380
The Jia Family is also a rich
and influential family in the Northwest.

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:44.620
You'll be the lady of the family
when you marry into that family.

00:22:44.620 --> 00:22:46.270
I'm sure you won't suffer.

00:22:49.030 --> 00:22:50.100
Don't stop me!

00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:54.710
Who's clamoring outside the palace?

00:22:55.070 --> 00:22:56.380
That's obviously Madam Wen Xiu.

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:57.990
I wonder what brings her here today.

00:22:58.580 --> 00:22:59.790
Which Madam Wenxiu?

00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:01.990
Her Majesty's cousin, Madam Wenxiu.

00:23:02.750 --> 00:23:04.860
Wang Ling's mother,
whom you've complained to His Majesty.

00:23:07.340 --> 00:23:09.550
Is she here to punish me?

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:12.950
If you're a court official,

00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:14.620
I'm sure you're an official
who likes to flatter.

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:18.620
I was only telling the truth.

00:23:18.820 --> 00:23:21.470
Palaces are forbidden areas
and she comes without being summoned.

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:23.550
How can she come as she wishes?

00:23:23.550 --> 00:23:25.310
Isn't this double the guilty?

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:26.990
That's a proud thing to say.

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:41.230
So you're Lady Cheng.

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:44.030
You sure have good looks.

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:45.790
So did you use your look

00:23:45.790 --> 00:23:47.180
to seduce Zisheng?

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:50.310
A young lady like you

00:23:50.620 --> 00:23:52.310
only entered Changqiu Palace
for several days.

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.580
Yet, you've already learned

00:23:54.100 --> 00:23:56.470
Her Majesty's means

00:23:56.550 --> 00:23:57.860
to shut people out.

00:23:58.340 --> 00:23:59.340
Shaoshang.

00:24:50.550 --> 00:24:52.140
The furnishings here

00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:53.860
are really crude and simple.

00:24:54.550 --> 00:24:55.710
It looks like Aunt treats you

00:24:55.710 --> 00:24:56.950
nothing more than this.

00:24:57.580 --> 00:24:59.180
When I stayed in the palace as a child,

00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:00.230
I used

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:02.550
a set of gold lacquerware,

00:25:02.790 --> 00:25:04.550
raw silk brocade,

00:25:04.990 --> 00:25:06.790
and Fengxigu fragrance.

00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:08.070
I'd drink...

00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:19.820
Zisheng especially
had someone deliver this cup.

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.510
It doesn't burn your fingers, right?

00:25:24.550 --> 00:25:25.710
Made of fine pottery.

00:25:25.820 --> 00:25:27.340
Better than lacquerware, of course,

00:25:27.470 --> 00:25:28.710
because it won't burn the fingers.

00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:35.070
And this cushion.

00:25:35.550 --> 00:25:37.100
Zisheng sent it here too.

00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:39.070
He's worried I might hurt my knees

00:25:39.230 --> 00:25:40.340
from kneeling all day.

00:25:40.340 --> 00:25:42.180
So he especially sent a soft one for me.

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:44.510
It's the same one I have at home.

00:25:44.660 --> 00:25:45.950
I'm just used to it.

00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:47.510
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:25:47.860 --> 00:25:49.420
stop bringing up his name all the time.

00:25:49.710 --> 00:25:51.470
You only found a good husband.

00:25:51.470 --> 00:25:52.950
You don't have to be so proud.

00:25:52.950 --> 00:25:54.270
I have to.

00:25:54.710 --> 00:25:55.710
If I don't,

00:25:55.990 --> 00:25:57.100
you and your mother

00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:58.990
won't feel upset.

00:25:59.310 --> 00:26:00.030
You...

00:26:01.230 --> 00:26:02.180
Shameless.

00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:05.380
Lady Wang,

00:26:06.030 --> 00:26:07.470
you won't believe me if I say this.

00:26:09.710 --> 00:26:11.380
But I like you.

00:26:12.710 --> 00:26:14.140
It's too late for you
to get on my good side.

00:26:14.140 --> 00:26:15.180
It's because you're stupid.

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:17.140
I like you

00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:20.710
because you're stupid enough.

00:26:20.860 --> 00:26:23.230
I can easily hold something against you
whenever you say something.

00:26:23.710 --> 00:26:25.230
From the first time
I met you at my house,

00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:27.070
I think you should learn one thing,

00:26:27.070 --> 00:26:28.070
that is keep to your mouth shut.

00:26:29.070 --> 00:26:30.620
His Majesty has always been frugal.

00:26:31.750 --> 00:26:33.820
I've seen Her Majesty's chamber too.

00:26:33.820 --> 00:26:35.030
I don't see

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:37.340
any gold lacquerwares
or raw silk brocade.

00:26:37.340 --> 00:26:39.140
How could you lie
without blinking your eyes?

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:40.710
Aren't you afraid
that His Majesty punishes you

00:26:40.710 --> 00:26:42.030
for living extravagantly?

00:26:42.030 --> 00:26:44.580
Those were the original furnishings
at the old palace.

00:26:44.580 --> 00:26:45.860
Those were not purchased
with state funds.

00:26:45.860 --> 00:26:47.270
So they're not yours then.

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:49.230
I don't want to talk to you.
You can leave now.

00:26:49.470 --> 00:26:51.030
Who says those aren't mine?

00:26:51.340 --> 00:26:52.180
Do you know

00:26:52.340 --> 00:26:54.140
the expenditures
of the Qian'an royal family

00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:56.620
are higher than this palace?

00:26:57.100 --> 00:26:58.100
My maternal grandfather

00:26:58.310 --> 00:27:00.990
was an important official
in the previous dynasty.

00:27:01.310 --> 00:27:02.340
Since the time of my ancestor,

00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:04.340
he was the richest man
with more than 10000 soldiers.

00:27:04.550 --> 00:27:06.580
His Majesty and Consort Yue
are childhood sweethearts.

00:27:06.750 --> 00:27:08.790
To form an ally with my grandfather,

00:27:08.950 --> 00:27:11.270
His Majesty married Her Majesty
whom my grandfather has fostered.

00:27:12.070 --> 00:27:13.030
It's too bad

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:15.620
since my grandfather died

00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:18.030
during the battle in Gu City.

00:27:19.820 --> 00:27:20.790
That's how

00:27:21.620 --> 00:27:22.990
my family had fallen

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:26.790
into this state.

00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:30.990
A royal family that is passed its prime.

00:27:32.140 --> 00:27:34.340
You're sure protective of Lady Cheng.

00:27:35.230 --> 00:27:36.270
The moment I arrived,

00:27:36.710 --> 00:27:37.990
you sent her away.

00:27:38.620 --> 00:27:39.580
Why?

00:27:39.790 --> 00:27:42.510
Are you afraid I'm here
to teach her a lesson for Ling?

00:27:42.620 --> 00:27:43.750
I wonder

00:27:43.750 --> 00:27:45.860
what you see in Lady Cheng.

00:27:46.070 --> 00:27:47.270
Ignorant, incompetent,

00:27:47.470 --> 00:27:48.620
rude, and vulgar.

00:27:51.180 --> 00:27:52.470
Some women

00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:53.860
are really sad.

00:27:54.710 --> 00:27:56.100
No husband to love them.

00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:58.270
No capable sons.

00:27:58.860 --> 00:28:00.180
A wicked daughter-in-law.

00:28:00.550 --> 00:28:03.340
Even the daughter lacks virtue.

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:06.750
She could only shower her love

00:28:07.030 --> 00:28:08.660
on an outsider.

00:28:11.340 --> 00:28:13.380
Do you have resentment in your heart?

00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:14.950
Is that

00:28:15.230 --> 00:28:17.420
why you come here to humiliate me?

00:28:18.820 --> 00:28:20.380
I have no resentment.

00:28:21.750 --> 00:28:24.950
I'm not here to speak up
for the Wang Family.

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:26.140
I come here

00:28:26.340 --> 00:28:29.270
because of my younger brother,
Young Lord Qian'an.

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:32.580
He sent me a letter

00:28:33.070 --> 00:28:35.100
saying he's having a hard life
in Shouchun.

00:28:35.510 --> 00:28:38.030
He wants the right to mint coins.

00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:40.620
My younger brother is

00:28:40.790 --> 00:28:42.620
the only male descendant alive

00:28:42.820 --> 00:28:46.070
after Lord Qian'an died
for His Majesty's cause.

00:28:46.230 --> 00:28:47.710
It's a small matter.

00:28:47.990 --> 00:28:51.310
I'm sure you won't reject, right?

00:28:53.790 --> 00:28:55.140
I've never meddled

00:28:55.270 --> 00:28:57.140
in state affairs.

00:28:57.620 --> 00:28:59.580
I'm not the one you should talk to.

00:28:59.580 --> 00:29:00.820
What do you mean you never meddle?

00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:03.790
Do you still remember

00:29:04.070 --> 00:29:05.580
the kindness
of Lord Qian'an royal family

00:29:05.580 --> 00:29:06.820
has shown you?

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:08.310
When your father died,

00:29:08.310 --> 00:29:09.550
my family took you in!

00:29:09.550 --> 00:29:10.620
You should be discreet with your words.

00:29:10.620 --> 00:29:12.550
Why should I? I should say that to you.

00:29:12.710 --> 00:29:14.100
I never bother to cause you trouble.

00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:15.070
Do you really think

00:29:15.070 --> 00:29:17.070
you're all that because you're
the country's empress?

00:29:17.990 --> 00:29:18.990
Xuan Shen'an,

00:29:19.340 --> 00:29:21.310
do you think you can treat me
with disdain

00:29:21.420 --> 00:29:23.310
because you're the empress?

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:24.180
Madam Zhai,

00:29:24.470 --> 00:29:25.470
what's going on?

00:29:26.070 --> 00:29:28.100
Her Majesty and Madam Wenxiu are
in a middle of a dispute.

00:29:28.100 --> 00:29:29.750
Her Majesty told us to close the door.

00:29:29.750 --> 00:29:31.310
No one is allowed to enter.

00:29:31.620 --> 00:29:34.420
Everyone praised you for being gentle,
courteous, and frugal.

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:35.420
Rubbish!

00:29:35.620 --> 00:29:36.950
They should all see

00:29:36.950 --> 00:29:39.140
how ungrateful you are!

00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:42.580
When your mother and your siblings

00:29:42.790 --> 00:29:44.340
stayed in my home,

00:29:44.790 --> 00:29:46.230
I never mistreated you.

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:48.180
I shared everything

00:29:48.340 --> 00:29:49.750
with you.

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:51.380
My father

00:29:51.380 --> 00:29:53.580
treated you like his daughter.

00:29:53.580 --> 00:29:56.310
He even picked
the best  husband for you,

00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:57.820
that is His Majesty.

00:29:57.950 --> 00:29:59.310
Have you forgotten all these?

00:29:59.860 --> 00:30:02.180
I'll never forget

00:30:02.710 --> 00:30:04.310
Uncle's kindness.

00:30:04.580 --> 00:30:06.510
But my father is dead.

00:30:06.510 --> 00:30:07.580
He's dead!

00:30:09.270 --> 00:30:10.470
The family's soldiers are

00:30:10.710 --> 00:30:12.660
either dead or scattered around.

00:30:13.070 --> 00:30:15.660
His lifetime power collapsed.

00:30:16.230 --> 00:30:17.860
I only have this younger brother.

00:30:18.340 --> 00:30:20.750
His Majesty made him a living signboard.

00:30:21.310 --> 00:30:22.310
He may be alive.

00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:24.380
But he's just a step to death,
that's all!

00:30:25.230 --> 00:30:26.710
It's all to prevent people

00:30:26.790 --> 00:30:29.070
from saying His Majesty is an ingrate!

00:30:29.470 --> 00:30:30.470
And you!

00:30:30.580 --> 00:30:32.550
You're also an ingrate!

00:30:33.750 --> 00:30:34.580
Your Majesty!

00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:38.140
Mother!

00:30:38.660 --> 00:30:39.340
Mother!

00:30:39.340 --> 00:30:41.310
Shaoshang, your hand is injured.

00:30:41.510 --> 00:30:43.180
Get Physician Sun here now!

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:44.340
Stop pretending already!

00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:46.100
You want to send
for the physician, right?

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:46.950
Fine!

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:49.380
You can open the doors while at it.

00:30:50.580 --> 00:30:52.340
So I can tell everyone

00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:54.140
and let everyone in the palace see

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:55.270
how many skeletons

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:57.030
the palace owner has in her closet!

00:30:57.030 --> 00:30:57.990
Do you really not know

00:30:57.990 --> 00:30:59.340
why Her Majesty closed the doors

00:30:59.340 --> 00:31:00.340
and not let anyone in?

00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:00.990
Shaoshang.

00:31:00.990 --> 00:31:02.420
Do you think Her Majesty fears you?

00:31:02.790 --> 00:31:04.030
She's protecting you.

00:31:04.660 --> 00:31:06.510
Let half of the nonsense

00:31:06.510 --> 00:31:07.790
you just said leak out.

00:31:07.860 --> 00:31:10.270
Do you think your descendant
will die a natural death?

00:31:17.070 --> 00:31:18.310
It's only death.

00:31:19.310 --> 00:31:20.230
Do you think

00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:21.790
I, Madam Wenxiu am afraid of it?

00:31:21.790 --> 00:31:23.660
If you don't fear death,
why are you here in Changqiu Palace?

00:31:23.790 --> 00:31:25.100
You should see His Majesty directly

00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:26.420
and reason with him.

00:31:26.790 --> 00:31:28.380
Why are you here making things
difficult for Her Majesty?

00:31:28.820 --> 00:31:31.430
What an eloquent young lady.

00:31:32.470 --> 00:31:35.180
You're indeed the type
of lady that lad likes.

00:31:36.870 --> 00:31:38.870
You're sure united.

00:31:40.390 --> 00:31:41.740
I don't fear death.

00:31:42.430 --> 00:31:45.140
His Majesty won't let me die either.

00:31:46.580 --> 00:31:48.830
I just want to see

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.700
if our noble empress

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:52.830
has forgotten my father's kindness!

00:31:52.830 --> 00:31:54.430
Showing kindness
without asking for a reward.

00:31:54.430 --> 00:31:56.780
Even a vulgar person like me knows this.

00:31:57.260 --> 00:31:58.700
I'm surprised that you didn't know that.

00:31:59.700 --> 00:32:00.870
I wonder

00:32:00.870 --> 00:32:03.260
if the late Lord Qian'an expected
his younger sister and her children

00:32:03.350 --> 00:32:05.030
to repay his kindness
when he helped them?

00:32:05.870 --> 00:32:07.580
I can't believe the late Lord Qian'an.

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:09.070
Why didn't he let his daughter marry

00:32:09.070 --> 00:32:10.070
His Majesty?

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:12.030
Ah, that's right.

00:32:12.350 --> 00:32:14.870
No one could predict
who'll lead the nation back then.

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:17.430
Of course, he couldn't allow
his daughter to marry His Majesty.

00:32:17.430 --> 00:32:18.830
How dare you mock me!

00:32:18.830 --> 00:32:20.180
Shaoshang, you must not be rude.

00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:22.180
No, it's not like that.

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:23.700
My maternal grandfather and His Majesty
have the same paternal lineage.

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.950
No wonder.

00:32:25.580 --> 00:32:26.740
So you and His Majesty are first cousins

00:32:26.830 --> 00:32:28.780
from the same paternal grandfather.

00:32:28.780 --> 00:32:30.300
Naturally, you can't marry His Majesty.

00:32:31.990 --> 00:32:34.100
The late Lord Qian'an
wasn't partial to Her Majesty.

00:32:34.350 --> 00:32:35.660
He married Her Majesty off
to His Majesty

00:32:35.660 --> 00:32:37.180
because you can't marry His Majesty.

00:32:38.350 --> 00:32:39.260
In this matter,

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:41.220
Her Majesty doesn't owe
you anything at all.

00:32:41.510 --> 00:32:42.390
Xuan Shen'an,

00:32:42.550 --> 00:32:43.990
are you going to watch her

00:32:43.990 --> 00:32:45.070
ridicule me like this?

00:32:45.070 --> 00:32:46.550
Stop making things difficult
for Her Majesty.

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:48.260
I said it.

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:50.780
If you think what I said offended you

00:32:51.260 --> 00:32:52.350
and it was a mistake,

00:32:52.580 --> 00:32:54.780
everyone in the capital knows

00:32:55.300 --> 00:32:56.830
I'm a vulgar person.

00:32:57.180 --> 00:32:58.660
I hope you can show me some generosity

00:32:58.990 --> 00:33:01.070
and not stoop your level to
a lowly person like me.

00:33:01.260 --> 00:33:02.260
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:33:03.100 --> 00:33:04.470
who do you think you are?

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:06.070
Even your future husband

00:33:06.070 --> 00:33:07.620
was born

00:33:07.620 --> 00:33:09.300
of an abandoned madwoman.

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:13.180
He may have been raised in the palace.

00:33:13.470 --> 00:33:16.140
Did he really think he's a prince?

00:33:16.830 --> 00:33:18.260
Zisheng's accomplishments and glory come

00:33:18.660 --> 00:33:19.780
from fighting with real weapons

00:33:19.780 --> 00:33:21.830
on the battlefields himself.

00:33:22.510 --> 00:33:24.070
It was not
because His Majesty favors him.

00:33:25.300 --> 00:33:26.430
At least he's better than someone

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:29.140
who keeps holding on
to the late Lord Qian'an's achievements

00:33:29.140 --> 00:33:30.470
and behaves wantonly at Changqiu Palace.

00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:31.350
How dare you!

00:33:33.030 --> 00:33:34.390
You're just a girl who has only been

00:33:34.390 --> 00:33:36.030
in the palace for training
for a few days.

00:33:36.100 --> 00:33:38.030
You only have half-knowledge
of the palace rules.

00:33:38.740 --> 00:33:41.030
You have the audacity to teach me?

00:33:41.510 --> 00:33:42.350
Today,

00:33:42.580 --> 00:33:44.180
I shall teach you

00:33:44.620 --> 00:33:46.260
the first rule of the palace.

00:33:46.550 --> 00:33:48.300
What is the nobility of the royal family

00:33:48.300 --> 00:33:49.740
and what are common people!

00:33:50.510 --> 00:33:51.430
Stop it!

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:53.140
Xuan Shen'an,

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:55.430
you refuse to give my younger brother
the coinage rights.

00:33:55.430 --> 00:33:57.700
You even tried to stop me
from teaching this foolish servant.

00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:59.660
I knew

00:33:59.660 --> 00:34:01.390
you're an ingrate

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:03.870
who'd leave me to my doom!

00:34:05.100 --> 00:34:05.620
You...

00:34:05.620 --> 00:34:06.430
That's enough!

00:34:12.070 --> 00:34:12.830
Your Majesty,

00:34:12.950 --> 00:34:14.300
please forgive me for not receiving you.

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:16.620
Shen'an, you can drop the formalities.

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:18.140
Are you all right?

00:34:21.030 --> 00:34:22.260
I just heard

00:34:22.580 --> 00:34:25.140
that you repeatedly reminded the empress

00:34:25.620 --> 00:34:28.070
not to forget the kindness
of the late Lord Qian'an.

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:30.470
Did you say that?

00:34:33.030 --> 00:34:33.780
Why?

00:34:34.390 --> 00:34:35.830
Uncle Xuan died early.

00:34:36.180 --> 00:34:38.510
My father took my bereaved aunt in

00:34:38.660 --> 00:34:39.990
and raised her children.

00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:41.870
Can't I even speak

00:34:42.350 --> 00:34:43.780
of these kindnesses?

00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:44.830
Kindness

00:34:45.220 --> 00:34:46.830
between families can never be settled.

00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:48.700
Early in the beginning,

00:34:49.070 --> 00:34:50.700
your grandfather met with danger.

00:34:51.390 --> 00:34:52.220
At that time,

00:34:52.510 --> 00:34:54.140
he overcame the obstacle

00:34:54.140 --> 00:34:55.550
with the help of the entire Xuan clan.

00:34:55.870 --> 00:34:56.660
After that,

00:34:56.950 --> 00:34:59.100
the late Lord Qian'an protected
and aided the Xuan clan during the war.

00:34:59.100 --> 00:35:00.470
This is also repaying gratitude.

00:35:00.740 --> 00:35:01.740
This comes and goes.

00:35:01.740 --> 00:35:03.660
Are you going
to bring it up all the time?

00:35:05.030 --> 00:35:05.870
Your Majesty,

00:35:06.470 --> 00:35:08.870
my father died to protect Gu City.

00:35:08.990 --> 00:35:10.780
I have dozens of siblings

00:35:10.870 --> 00:35:11.950
who are scattered all over the country.

00:35:11.950 --> 00:35:13.740
I only have my younger brother now.

00:35:13.740 --> 00:35:14.390
Today,

00:35:14.390 --> 00:35:16.660
I came to ask Her Majesty
to show me some grace.

00:35:16.660 --> 00:35:18.100
Is that also wrong?

00:35:18.220 --> 00:35:19.550
If you have a memorial to present to me,

00:35:20.140 --> 00:35:22.100
why didn't you ask Cavalry General Wang

00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:24.550
to present it to me
during the court assembly?

00:35:26.390 --> 00:35:28.950
You chose to come here
and put the empress in a tight spot.

00:35:29.870 --> 00:35:31.300
It's because you knew

00:35:31.740 --> 00:35:34.180
she always tolerates and forgives you.

00:35:34.660 --> 00:35:36.350
You were disrespectful to her today.

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:38.140
Your words and actions
had crossed the limit.

00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:39.470
You lack proper conduct.

00:35:39.740 --> 00:35:40.830
Do you know your crime?

00:35:41.390 --> 00:35:42.260
Your Majesty,

00:35:42.580 --> 00:35:44.030
I don't feel well.

00:35:44.580 --> 00:35:45.470
We should

00:35:45.870 --> 00:35:47.430
just stop here.

00:35:47.550 --> 00:35:48.180
No!

00:35:48.830 --> 00:35:49.660
I won't let it end here.

00:35:50.140 --> 00:35:51.140
I want her to speak!

00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:53.260
I can see

00:35:53.580 --> 00:35:55.700
she hasn't finished
what she wanted to say.

00:36:06.350 --> 00:36:07.620
Madam Wenxiu, you can choose

00:36:08.870 --> 00:36:12.140
to stay here
and let His Majesty punish you

00:36:12.470 --> 00:36:13.620
or follow my orders

00:36:14.470 --> 00:36:15.990
and leave the palace.

00:36:20.300 --> 00:36:22.180
His Majesty and Her Majesty
didn't raise you in vain.

00:36:22.620 --> 00:36:26.100
I've never seen such
a tactful lapdog like you.

00:36:27.550 --> 00:36:29.580
Your future wife sure is something.

00:36:29.830 --> 00:36:31.470
She kept protecting Her Majesty

00:36:31.830 --> 00:36:33.660
to the point
she doesn't even cherish her life.

00:36:36.070 --> 00:36:38.220
My future bride and I
are naturally different from you.

00:36:38.220 --> 00:36:39.740
Our lives

00:36:39.950 --> 00:36:41.260
to you

00:36:41.260 --> 00:36:43.660
are not as important
as Young Lord Qian'an's safety.

00:36:44.030 --> 00:36:47.070
The late Lord Qian'an
didn't raise you in vain.

00:36:48.870 --> 00:36:51.870
Someone like you
who knows nothing of parents' kindness

00:36:52.870 --> 00:36:55.220
has always been cold-hearted

00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:57.350
Of course, you don't understand action.

00:36:58.390 --> 00:37:01.870
If His Majesty didn't order
my father to rescue Gu City.

00:37:02.350 --> 00:37:04.950
He wouldn't have died without victory.

00:37:05.260 --> 00:37:06.550
Do you know

00:37:07.070 --> 00:37:08.390
why the late Lord Qian'an died

00:37:08.700 --> 00:37:10.140
before achieving any victory?

00:37:10.510 --> 00:37:11.830
Of course, I do.

00:37:13.070 --> 00:37:15.620
That year, Marquis Yue was
one step ahead of my father

00:37:15.990 --> 00:37:18.580
in sending the men
to investigate the miasma.

00:37:19.220 --> 00:37:21.470
After the men
who investigated the miasma died,

00:37:21.470 --> 00:37:23.580
Marquis Yue informed my father about it.

00:37:24.870 --> 00:37:25.950
It's a pity.

00:37:26.430 --> 00:37:28.740
My father still wanted to save Gu City.

00:37:29.660 --> 00:37:32.580
So he took the risk and led
his men into the miasma.

00:37:33.100 --> 00:37:35.740
He lost his life in the end.

00:37:37.030 --> 00:37:39.550
It was all to rescue your uncle

00:37:40.070 --> 00:37:41.140
that my father died alone

00:37:41.620 --> 00:37:43.870
in the wilderness.

00:37:45.870 --> 00:37:47.430
If my father is alive,

00:37:47.990 --> 00:37:49.030
we won't know

00:37:49.470 --> 00:37:50.990
who'll gain supremacy

00:37:51.260 --> 00:37:52.830
in this world.

00:37:53.740 --> 00:37:54.830
Madam Wenxiu.

00:37:55.140 --> 00:37:56.830
I'm afraid there's something fishy
behind this incident.

00:37:57.620 --> 00:37:59.100
I suggest you pull back
before it's too late.

00:37:59.780 --> 00:38:01.350
Don't fall into anyone's tricks.

00:38:05.550 --> 00:38:07.070
What do you mean by this?

00:38:08.620 --> 00:38:10.430
Marquis Yue never got along
with the Xuan clan.

00:38:11.390 --> 00:38:13.180
He may not be telling the truth.

00:38:13.990 --> 00:38:15.470
Why did you believe
without even questioning?

00:38:15.830 --> 00:38:16.620
Also,

00:38:17.030 --> 00:38:18.390
His Majesty

00:38:18.390 --> 00:38:20.510
has done his best to fulfill his duty
towards Young Lord Qian'an.

00:38:21.180 --> 00:38:22.390
He owns a copper mine.

00:38:22.390 --> 00:38:23.830
He's definitely living in comfort.

00:38:23.830 --> 00:38:25.030
I suggest you

00:38:25.470 --> 00:38:26.830
do what you think is best.

00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:29.220
Don't listen

00:38:29.990 --> 00:38:31.070
to a one-sided story.

00:38:47.870 --> 00:38:49.030
That year, Marquis Yue see

00:38:49.030 --> 00:38:50.620
the late Lord Qian'an
as a thorn in the flesh

00:38:50.780 --> 00:38:53.180
when His Majesty married Her Majesty.

00:38:53.470 --> 00:38:55.390
He'd never be that nice
to scout the route for him.

00:38:55.620 --> 00:38:57.780
How he wished
that the entire Xuan clan died

00:38:57.950 --> 00:39:00.100
so Consort Yue can be the empress.

00:39:04.070 --> 00:39:05.430
Keep a close watch on Marquis Yue

00:39:06.220 --> 00:39:07.350
and continue with the investigation.

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:09.510
Yes, Young Master.

00:39:17.950 --> 00:39:20.910
I was wondering who was chased out
from the Changqiu Palace.

00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:23.350
So it's you.

00:39:27.180 --> 00:39:29.260
Her Majesty is
the most generous and kind.

00:39:29.550 --> 00:39:32.950
Why is she not putting up
with you today

00:39:33.140 --> 00:39:35.740
that you have
to leave feeling humiliated?

00:39:36.470 --> 00:39:38.350
This is between the Wen Family
and Xuan Family.

00:39:39.070 --> 00:39:40.660
You don't have to worry about it.

00:39:41.620 --> 00:39:42.580
I heard you came here

00:39:42.580 --> 00:39:45.220
to beg Her Majesty
regarding the coinage rights.

00:39:45.550 --> 00:39:48.550
Why? Is Young Lord Qian'an
too poor to provide for himself?

00:39:49.140 --> 00:39:51.300
Doesn't he know that he's incompetent?

00:39:51.300 --> 00:39:53.350
I can't believe he's delusional enough
to covet the coinage right.

00:39:53.350 --> 00:39:54.550
The poverty must have driven him insane.

00:39:54.550 --> 00:39:55.870
I just said

00:39:55.950 --> 00:39:57.510
you don't have to worry about it.

00:39:57.910 --> 00:39:58.870
Third Princess,

00:39:59.180 --> 00:40:00.700
you should mind your own business.

00:41:06.060 --> 00:41:13.090
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:22.090
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:41:23.660 --> 00:41:30.980
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:41:32.410 --> 00:41:39.580
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:41:40.540 --> 00:41:44.290
The light between your brows

00:41:44.900 --> 00:41:48.770
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:41:49.560 --> 00:41:56.900
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:41:58.900 --> 00:42:07.180
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:42:07.460 --> 00:42:15.900
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:42:16.490 --> 00:42:24.620
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:42:25.180 --> 00:42:28.850
Both of us will be

00:42:29.210 --> 00:42:40.070
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:42:42.410 --> 00:42:48.720
Our sincerity
