= Love Like The Galaxy=

00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:32.820
=Episode 36=

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:34.440
Your Majesty.

00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:35.990
This is the food menu I drafted
for the birthday banquet.

00:01:35.990 --> 00:01:36.760
Can you take a look

00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.200
and see if anything should be added?

00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:43.960
(Qianqiu Banquet Menu List)

00:01:48.590 --> 00:01:50.270
I don't think this is right.

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.470
A ruler sets an example
for his followers.

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.160
An extravagant banquet like this

00:01:56.630 --> 00:01:58.840
contradicts His Majesty's advocacy

00:01:59.230 --> 00:02:01.070
of frugality.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:04.830
No.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.920
I shall talk to His Majesty and advise him.

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:10.110
Don't.

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:13.240
The ministers have worked very hard too.

00:02:13.790 --> 00:02:15.640
They have to either
study thousands of scrolls

00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:17.400
to earn His Majesty's favor

00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:19.240
or they have to risk their life
on the battlefield

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:20.550
to earn a title.

00:02:21.790 --> 00:02:23.830
Don't ruin someone else's future,
Your Majesty.

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.470
What did you just say?

00:02:27.750 --> 00:02:28.790
What I mean

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:31.830
is that Your Majesty, you are
His Majesty's wife

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:33.710
before you are his subordinate.

00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:37.110
If you want to advise His Majesty
for the better,

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:38.400
you

00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:40.630
should say,

00:02:43.350 --> 00:02:44.960
a married couple always

00:02:45.350 --> 00:02:46.990
should be equals.

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.960
No wife should have a feast

00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:51.470
while her husband

00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:53.630
contents himself with simple dishes.

00:02:54.710 --> 00:02:55.710
And then, tell His Majesty

00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.190
to first hold a grand ceremony
for his birthday

00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:00.040
before he extends the same favor

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:02.240
to his wife.

00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:04.600
Remember.

00:03:05.110 --> 00:03:06.270
When you speak,

00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.190
make sure you sound vulnerable
and gentle.

00:03:08.190 --> 00:03:09.750
Do not meet His Majesty's gaze.

00:03:09.750 --> 00:03:11.990
Do not look like
you are there to criticize him.

00:03:14.750 --> 00:03:16.110
You're young and yet,

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:17.910
you have your ways with words.

00:03:18.350 --> 00:03:20.350
You tamed Zisheng

00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:22.110
like that too, didn't you?

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:25.240
Look at the items here.

00:03:25.630 --> 00:03:27.350
Are you trying to build your courtyard

00:03:27.350 --> 00:03:30.190
the same as the one
in Marquis Quling's Residence here?

00:03:31.630 --> 00:03:32.520
Your Majesty.

00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.350
Just let me handle the organization
of this birthday banquet.

00:03:36.830 --> 00:03:38.760
That way, I can return home sooner.

00:03:38.870 --> 00:03:40.870
Zisheng has brought me items
from my room

00:03:41.590 --> 00:03:43.760
and they have made me homesick.

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:46.640
I will not do you this favor.

00:03:47.030 --> 00:03:48.590
You don't look homesick at all.

00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:52.480
It's more like you don't like how
restrictive it is in here.

00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.550
Your Majesty, just help me this once.

00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.990
I won't help you.

00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:03.030
Mother.

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.200
You were right that day.

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.800
My body and my titles I received

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:29.360
are all because Father and Mother grant.

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.760
Whatever expensive things I get,

00:04:32.150 --> 00:04:35.640
I can get them because of
taking advantage of your and Father's power.

00:04:36.200 --> 00:04:37.080
Therefore,

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:40.030
I asked choreographers
to teach me a dance.

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.110
I have been practicing
in the residence for long.

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.480
If my performance is short
of satisfactory during the banquet,

00:04:45.710 --> 00:04:47.710
please ignore my shortcomings.

00:04:48.310 --> 00:04:49.760
Just cheer for me.

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.830
I appreciate this filial piety of yours.

00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:57.990
However, I heard

00:04:58.590 --> 00:04:59.870
that you corralled ten thousand mus of land

00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:02.550
in Hongnong County
as your private garden.

00:05:02.870 --> 00:05:04.150
Is it true?

00:05:07.760 --> 00:05:09.110
The land outside of the palace

00:05:09.270 --> 00:05:10.830
is a dry and hard rocky beach.

00:05:10.830 --> 00:05:12.430
No one wants it.

00:05:12.710 --> 00:05:15.310
I corralled that place to develop it

00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:17.400
so that homeless citizens can one day
work on it.

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:19.520
Not only will it produce food,
it will also provide their livelihood.

00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:22.520
I just want you and Father

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:23.870
to acknowledge my capability.

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.030
The world belongs to us.

00:05:27.590 --> 00:05:29.640
There are ministers in charge
of development.

00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:31.270
You need not worry about it.

00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:38.030
Enough.

00:05:38.590 --> 00:05:40.520
That's all for today.

00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:42.430
I'm tired now.

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:44.990
You can all leave.

00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:47.230
Mother, it's fine if you favor
Ling Buyi over me.

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.440
But now, why do you trust
the daughter of a general

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:52.960
more than you trust me?

00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:55.590
I heard ever since Cheng Shaoshang

00:05:55.590 --> 00:05:57.230
took over Changqiu Palace,

00:05:57.710 --> 00:05:59.150
she cooked dessert one day

00:05:59.150 --> 00:06:00.670
and grew vegetables another.

00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:02.910
Not only did you not punish her,

00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:04.640
you even supported her financially.

00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:06.080
And when I want to do something,

00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:08.350
you don't support me,
but rebuked me instead.

00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:10.350
It's because Shaoshang

00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:12.000
only consumed what is useful.

00:06:12.350 --> 00:06:14.230
She did not waste resources
because she wanted to.

00:06:17.320 --> 00:06:18.230
I'm tired.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.030
Leave now.

00:06:39.150 --> 00:06:40.030
Shaoshang.

00:06:40.830 --> 00:06:43.910
The noble ladies brought in
by Fifth Princess

00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:45.670
are too many for Changqiu Palace.

00:06:46.590 --> 00:06:48.000
They are an eyesore.

00:06:48.710 --> 00:06:50.080
I will write a letter.

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.640
Lady Luo and you will bring it
to Yongle Palace

00:06:54.150 --> 00:06:56.790
so that Consort Yue can look after them.

00:06:58.710 --> 00:06:59.560
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:07:12.760 --> 00:07:13.710
Fifth Princess,

00:07:13.710 --> 00:07:14.830
dear esteemed guests,

00:07:15.080 --> 00:07:16.350
I have informed Consort Yue.

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.880
She has arranged so that

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.230
all of you will spend a night
in Longyuan Garden.

00:07:19.590 --> 00:07:20.640
Cheng Shaoshang.

00:07:20.830 --> 00:07:23.400
Do you know where you live now

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:24.910
used to be my residence?

00:07:25.030 --> 00:07:27.150
Fifth Princess, if you wish to stay
in Changqiu Palace tonight,

00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:28.710
I can make another arrangement.

00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:29.670
No need.

00:07:30.270 --> 00:07:32.440
I don't want Mother to say
I was being petty.

00:07:32.590 --> 00:07:34.230
I have never stayed
in Yongle Palace before.

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.640
I can spend two nights here.

00:07:58.470 --> 00:07:59.400
Shaoshang.

00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:03.760
Shaoshang.

00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:07.000
How clumsy of you, Lady Cheng.

00:08:07.320 --> 00:08:09.030
Save her!

00:08:09.030 --> 00:08:09.880
Hurry up!

00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:20.400
Aren't you very capable?

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:21.590
Come back up.

00:08:25.910 --> 00:08:29.080
Mother said you were gifted
and graceful.

00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:30.880
As if you were one of the kind.

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.350
Pray tell. How did you fall
into the lake while you were guiding us?

00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:34.000
Indeed.

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.200
Look how frantic she is.

00:08:42.760 --> 00:08:43.520
Fifth Princess.

00:08:43.670 --> 00:08:45.470
If this carries on, she might die.

00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:47.560
Someone is always dying every day.

00:08:47.670 --> 00:08:48.910
It's just one life.

00:08:49.150 --> 00:08:50.270
It's not a big deal.

00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.270
Also, Lady Cheng fell
into the lake herself.

00:08:53.270 --> 00:08:54.520
We can't swim

00:08:54.520 --> 00:08:55.640
so we can't save her.

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.230
Why don't you

00:09:07.350 --> 00:09:08.590
jump in to save her then?

00:09:17.230 --> 00:09:18.230
(Lady Zuo)
She's coming back up.

00:09:18.230 --> 00:09:19.140
(Lady Zuo)

00:09:21.030 --> 00:09:23.230
Aren't there snakes in the water?

00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:26.520
Come up now. Hurry!

00:09:37.230 --> 00:09:38.640
There are snakes.

00:09:39.470 --> 00:09:40.710
There are snakes.

00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:42.080
Go away.

00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.230
This is so scary.

00:10:21.030 --> 00:10:22.760
Let's go.

00:10:56.030 --> 00:10:57.120
Cheng Shaoshang.

00:10:57.430 --> 00:10:58.670
Listen up now.

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.480
I didn't come here today

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.760
just for the banquet tomorrow.

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.640
I also came here for you.

00:11:07.790 --> 00:11:09.430
This is your warning.

00:11:10.030 --> 00:11:12.670
Behave yourself
when you see me next time.

00:11:14.070 --> 00:11:15.070
Otherwise,

00:11:15.550 --> 00:11:17.360
the non-venomous snakes here

00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:18.880
might turn

00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:20.550
into something else next time.

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.070
Your Highness,

00:11:45.950 --> 00:11:47.400
will she file a complaint?

00:11:47.910 --> 00:11:48.910
What are you afraid of?

00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:51.150
No one saw us.

00:11:51.670 --> 00:11:53.150
We just have to deny it.

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.640
Lady Luo.

00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.790
What did you see?

00:12:00.150 --> 00:12:00.910
I...

00:12:01.190 --> 00:12:03.520
Think twice before you reply.

00:12:06.030 --> 00:12:07.430
Aren't you getting married soon?

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.910
If you're found to have disrespected
the princess before your wedding,

00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:12.720
I wonder how your in-laws
will treat you.

00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:15.520
Your Highness,

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:17.310
we saw nothing.

00:12:17.790 --> 00:12:18.670
Indeed.

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.430
We retired to our room early.

00:12:21.670 --> 00:12:22.910
Lady Cheng

00:12:22.910 --> 00:12:24.790
accidentally fell into the water
on her way back.

00:12:24.910 --> 00:12:26.400
She was then bitten by a snake.

00:12:26.550 --> 00:12:28.600
She only has herself to blame,
doesn't she?

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.240
What is that noise?

00:12:32.400 --> 00:12:33.480
Who is there?

00:12:38.790 --> 00:12:39.910
Everyone is here.

00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:41.880
Fifth Brother,

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.950
who are you meeting this time

00:12:44.950 --> 00:12:46.790
behind your wife's back?

00:12:47.150 --> 00:12:49.150
Fifth Brother, don't let anyone know

00:12:49.150 --> 00:12:50.640
you snuck out again.

00:12:51.190 --> 00:12:52.120
Otherwise,

00:12:52.550 --> 00:12:54.790
Father will be more disappointed in you.

00:12:55.880 --> 00:12:56.600
Fifth Sister,

00:12:56.760 --> 00:12:57.840
I passed by here.

00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.000
I saw nothing.

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.030
I speak the truth.

00:13:01.950 --> 00:13:03.240
When did you come here?

00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.190
Will the Fifth Prince

00:13:10.670 --> 00:13:12.790
tell anyone what happened today?

00:13:13.950 --> 00:13:16.520
He's just the bad apple
from a palace maid.

00:13:17.070 --> 00:13:19.030
I call him Fifth Brother out of respect.

00:13:22.190 --> 00:13:23.520
Truth be told, he pairs very well

00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:26.480
with Lady Cheng.

00:13:52.910 --> 00:13:53.720
Shaoshang.

00:13:59.430 --> 00:14:01.600
I brought you the clothes you want.

00:14:03.070 --> 00:14:04.790
Your clothes are drenched.

00:14:04.790 --> 00:14:06.190
Where were you?

00:14:09.950 --> 00:14:11.910
I'll take your wet clothes away.

00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:42.040
When you were in
Marquis Quling's Residence,

00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:44.870
I longed to see you.

00:14:46.390 --> 00:14:47.870
Now that you live here,

00:14:48.350 --> 00:14:49.800
I thought we could see each other all the time.

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.150
However, you're busier than anticipated.

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.270
Even the meal

00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:55.990
is delivered by eunuchs.

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.110
Seeing you

00:14:58.920 --> 00:15:00.200
is harder than before.

00:15:02.630 --> 00:15:03.680
Tonight,

00:15:08.470 --> 00:15:09.800
I miss you more than ever

00:15:11.630 --> 00:15:12.720
and so I came.

00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:25.400
Do you know?

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.950
Everyone in the royal court
is envious of me.

00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:31.350
They say I'm about to marry
a graceful woman.

00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:33.640
Even His Majesty says

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.640
you're smart and capable,

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.670
that you did a good job
managing Changqiu Palace.

00:15:40.190 --> 00:15:41.950
I feel much relieved knowing that
you're living well

00:15:43.830 --> 00:15:45.070
in the palace.

00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:48.950
Shaoshang,

00:15:50.520 --> 00:15:52.590
His Majesty lets you handle
Her Majesty's

00:15:52.590 --> 00:15:53.640
birthday banquet

00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:56.550
not because you are my fiancee.

00:15:58.070 --> 00:15:59.430
It's because only you

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:03.310
can hold a truly meaningful banquet
for Her Majesty.

00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:08.590
People always say

00:16:10.350 --> 00:16:11.710
you're stubborn and cold.

00:16:12.830 --> 00:16:15.000
That's because
they don't know you at all.

00:16:17.640 --> 00:16:18.830
When you decide

00:16:19.670 --> 00:16:21.430
to treat someone well,

00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:23.800
you mean it.

00:16:24.590 --> 00:16:26.000
You'll do everything.

00:16:27.670 --> 00:16:29.160
Even at your expense.

00:16:30.430 --> 00:16:31.240
You...

00:16:36.190 --> 00:16:37.040
Niaoniao.

00:16:39.280 --> 00:16:40.120
Niaoniao.

00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:42.760
What happened?

00:17:13.110 --> 00:17:15.280
What is the meaning of this decor?

00:17:18.590 --> 00:17:19.590
Your Majesty.

00:17:20.630 --> 00:17:23.200
This is called Tall Peaks
and Long Rivers.

00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:25.480
Your Majesty, may you

00:17:25.590 --> 00:17:27.800
rise as tall as a mountain

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:30.350
and you live as long as a river

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.910
to receive auspices.

00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:35.350
That's considerate of you.

00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:37.310
I now understand why she dotes on you.

00:17:37.830 --> 00:17:40.000
It is an interesting decor.

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.040
Marvelous.

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.440
Long live Your Majesty.

00:17:55.390 --> 00:17:56.310
At ease.

00:17:56.590 --> 00:17:57.550
Have a seat.

00:17:57.910 --> 00:17:59.480
Thanks, Your Majesty.

00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:08.680
What is

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.390
going on?

00:18:14.590 --> 00:18:15.480
Zisheng?

00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:21.280
General Ling is the performer?

00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:54.630
Zisheng plays so...

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.800
Only Lady Cheng can make Zisheng

00:19:11.390 --> 00:19:12.910
play an instrument.

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:14.720
This is a birthday banquet

00:19:14.830 --> 00:19:16.350
that surpasses expectations.

00:19:16.590 --> 00:19:19.200
Lady Cheng's exceptional hosting skill

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.550
makes my gifts look so

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.590
banal.

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.590
Bravo.

00:20:36.910 --> 00:20:37.910
Bravo.

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.520
I have always wanted to hear
your performance

00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:44.070
but you always say you are too rusty.

00:20:44.350 --> 00:20:46.720
Only Shaoshang can make you recall

00:20:46.910 --> 00:20:48.200
how to play music again.

00:20:50.390 --> 00:20:52.390
Your Majesty,

00:20:52.390 --> 00:20:56.200
Third Prince has found new mines
within the fief.

00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.960
The latest geographical map
is being delivered here

00:20:59.070 --> 00:21:01.960
as we speak.

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.800
Wonderful news.

00:21:07.280 --> 00:21:08.000
Father,

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.870
I have been looking for new mines for years

00:21:10.870 --> 00:21:13.760
and I managed to find one
before Mother's birthday.

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:15.760
This is Mother's blessing.

00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:17.680
I dare not claim it as mine.

00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:20.800
You are my blessings.

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.910
Great.

00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:37.200
Mother,

00:21:37.590 --> 00:21:38.960
this is a pair of jade qilin

00:21:39.350 --> 00:21:41.070
that we found in the Western Regions.

00:21:41.150 --> 00:21:43.310
It means good things come in two.

00:21:43.550 --> 00:21:44.800
Mother, I wish

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.520
you a long life.

00:21:46.630 --> 00:21:48.830
We have spent a lot on it.

00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:53.070
May Your Majesty spend your life
in eternal love.

00:22:18.350 --> 00:22:19.830
Your Majesty,

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.070
this is not the only gift

00:22:21.070 --> 00:22:22.520
the Crown Prince and his consort

00:22:22.910 --> 00:22:24.040
brought with them.

00:22:25.310 --> 00:22:26.910
Your Majesty,
do you taste any difference

00:22:26.910 --> 00:22:28.110
in today's wine?

00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:31.960
It's sweeter and rounder.

00:22:32.550 --> 00:22:34.760
Where did you find this wine?

00:22:34.870 --> 00:22:36.680
I did not find this wine.

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.390
His Majesty and you advocate
for frugality.

00:22:39.550 --> 00:22:41.550
I dare not use rice to brew wine.

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.280
As I sought a substitute,

00:22:43.550 --> 00:22:44.680
the seeds His Highness

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.720
brought from the Western Regions

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.960
bore fruits.

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.040
They are sweet but not sickening,
sour but not vinegary.

00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:52.070
I had a taste

00:22:52.070 --> 00:22:53.760
and thought it was perfect
for fruit wines.

00:22:53.870 --> 00:22:54.720
Such an undertaking

00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.200
is frugal in essence

00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:58.350
without compromising
the gastronomical delights.

00:22:58.760 --> 00:22:59.720
Well done.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.680
My empress.

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.110
You should drink more today.

00:23:04.830 --> 00:23:05.310
Of course.

00:23:05.310 --> 00:23:06.350
My dear ministers.

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:07.390
Drink more.

00:23:19.630 --> 00:23:21.070
It is amazing.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.830
How can you drink wine
without side dishes?

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.070
Dear esteemed guests,

00:23:25.070 --> 00:23:27.720
have a taste of the dishes
in front of you.

00:23:28.110 --> 00:23:29.200
They are all made with

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:31.830
the walnut oil the Crown Prince brought
from the Western Regions.

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:32.910
Not only are the walnuts

00:23:32.910 --> 00:23:34.870
sweet, they are also filling.

00:23:35.070 --> 00:23:36.520
They are exotic and rare.

00:23:37.110 --> 00:23:38.390
Thank you, Your Highness.

00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:40.590
Wonderful.

00:23:40.870 --> 00:23:43.040
The Crown Prince is concerned
about his subjects.

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.680
He has brought with him
many tummy-filling snacks.

00:23:45.800 --> 00:23:46.830
Such generosity.

00:23:47.390 --> 00:23:48.240
Good.

00:23:48.520 --> 00:23:50.200
You will be rewarded.

00:23:50.310 --> 00:23:51.200
Definitely.

00:23:51.350 --> 00:23:52.070
-Thanks, Father.
-Thanks, Father.

00:23:52.070 --> 00:23:53.070
Thanks, Your Majesty.

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.760
It's delicious.

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.560
(Madam Qu Ling, Liang Shang)

00:25:01.310 --> 00:25:02.830
Good things come in two?

00:25:03.150 --> 00:25:04.630
This is a menage à trois.

00:25:15.630 --> 00:25:17.000
Father, Mother.

00:25:17.280 --> 00:25:18.680
I have learned a dance

00:25:18.800 --> 00:25:20.000
to perform before you.

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:22.680
May you live a long life.

00:25:23.110 --> 00:25:24.720
That is sweet of you, Fifth Princess.

00:25:25.070 --> 00:25:26.520
Since Fifth Sister will be dancing,

00:25:26.760 --> 00:25:27.870
there has to be music.

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.070
I am willing to perform
with the Prince Consort

00:25:36.350 --> 00:25:37.910
to add merry to your birthday, Mother.

00:25:38.760 --> 00:25:40.550
Of course. The more the merrier.

00:25:56.830 --> 00:25:57.590
Your Majesty.

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.590
Zisheng wishes to give Her Majesty a present.

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.070
Zisheng.

00:26:02.350 --> 00:26:04.350
What rare gift have you brought
with you?

00:26:15.310 --> 00:26:16.240
Your Majesty,

00:26:16.910 --> 00:26:17.910
Shaoshang and I

00:26:18.150 --> 00:26:20.830
found an old keepsake
of Grand Duke Xuan.

00:26:21.070 --> 00:26:23.590
May Her Majesty be granted
Grand Duke Xuan's protection

00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:25.000
and all her wishes will come true.

00:26:43.040 --> 00:26:46.640
(Boat Trip. Cascading ivy,
lush green trees under the setting sun.)

00:26:47.760 --> 00:26:49.110
Father was very fond

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:51.110
of poems.

00:26:51.630 --> 00:26:54.240
He often gave the poems he wrote
to his friends

00:26:54.550 --> 00:26:56.240
instead of keeping them to himself.

00:26:56.520 --> 00:26:57.800
Therefore, not many of his works

00:26:58.150 --> 00:27:00.110
remained after his passing.

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:01.720
I thought

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.070
I could never see Father's work again.

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:06.390
The value

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.440
of a gift doesn't matter much.

00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:10.960
It is the thought that matters.

00:27:12.150 --> 00:27:13.000
Zisheng.

00:27:13.760 --> 00:27:16.040
Thank you, truly.

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.070
I know Zisheng

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:20.760
and Shaoshang

00:27:21.590 --> 00:27:23.350
truly care about me.

00:27:23.350 --> 00:27:24.200
Indeed.

00:27:24.590 --> 00:27:26.000
Today is a special day.

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.870
This banquet

00:27:27.040 --> 00:27:28.480
is masterfully organized.

00:27:28.910 --> 00:27:30.390
For a jovial day like today,

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.000
I shall share it with my ministers.

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.240
A toast!

00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:34.590
Come.

00:27:36.800 --> 00:27:37.590
Let's drink

00:27:38.310 --> 00:27:39.110
to our heart's content.

00:27:39.110 --> 00:27:41.390
Let's drink to our heart's content.

00:28:14.280 --> 00:28:15.510
Your wine is good.

00:28:26.120 --> 00:28:27.200
Why don't you drink it?

00:28:45.800 --> 00:28:46.720
Why did you

00:28:50.310 --> 00:28:51.510
use my wine plate?

00:28:52.870 --> 00:28:55.160
Drinking the wine I brew
from your wine plate

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.640
is more delicious.

00:29:02.910 --> 00:29:04.030
Let's drink together then.

00:29:20.430 --> 00:29:21.280
Is it sweet?

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.510
Very.

00:29:26.600 --> 00:29:27.760
Because of the wine

00:29:29.830 --> 00:29:30.950
or because of me?

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.510
Both.

00:29:54.910 --> 00:29:56.160
What happened to your fingers?

00:30:02.870 --> 00:30:04.200
From the zither practice last night?

00:30:44.110 --> 00:30:45.150
Yes, Your Highness?

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:47.830
I see a beauty.
She refuses to leave my mind.

00:31:47.830 --> 00:31:51.510
One day without seeing her,
I go out of my mind.

00:31:55.990 --> 00:31:56.870
Your Highness.

00:31:56.990 --> 00:31:59.030
Open your eyes and look at me.

00:32:02.990 --> 00:32:05.720
You're Ling Zisheng's fiancee.

00:32:06.280 --> 00:32:07.680
Don't go away.

00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:09.560
It's been a few days

00:32:10.030 --> 00:32:12.990
and you look prettier than before.

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.680
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:32:19.990 --> 00:32:20.950
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:32:21.800 --> 00:32:22.680
Your Highness.

00:32:22.800 --> 00:32:24.080
You have had too much to drink.

00:32:24.080 --> 00:32:26.160
Time to sober up.

00:32:26.470 --> 00:32:27.760
You wrench!

00:32:27.950 --> 00:32:29.390
I can't swim.

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.310
This is murder!

00:32:32.510 --> 00:32:33.390
Help!

00:32:33.510 --> 00:32:34.760
Patient now, Your Highness.

00:32:34.830 --> 00:32:36.240
I'll find a solution.

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.760
Help me.

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:40.800
Help.

00:32:42.950 --> 00:32:44.240
I'm coming.

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:45.080
Your Highness.

00:32:45.080 --> 00:32:45.560
Give it to me.

00:32:45.560 --> 00:32:46.640
Grab onto this bamboo stick.

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:48.470
Grab onto it.

00:32:49.280 --> 00:32:50.560
Over here.

00:32:50.560 --> 00:32:51.560
Here.

00:32:51.870 --> 00:32:53.390
Here.

00:32:53.390 --> 00:32:54.720
Give it to me.

00:32:54.870 --> 00:32:55.760
Grab it.

00:32:57.030 --> 00:32:57.830
Here.

00:32:57.990 --> 00:32:58.910
No, here.

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:00.200
No, here.

00:33:00.830 --> 00:33:01.680
Hurry.

00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:04.240
Grab onto it.

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:05.280
Hurry.

00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:06.470
Grab it.

00:33:06.990 --> 00:33:07.950
It's exhausting.

00:33:09.470 --> 00:33:10.240
Your Highness.

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:12.510
This is exhausting. I can't save you.

00:33:12.510 --> 00:33:13.680
You're a witch.

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:32.600
Your Highness.

00:33:33.390 --> 00:33:34.640
Are you okay?

00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:38.510
You're as evil

00:33:39.310 --> 00:33:41.470
as that Ling Buyi.

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:43.600
Now that you know how scary
Ling Zisheng is,

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.800
you should stay away from me.

00:33:45.910 --> 00:33:48.120
If he ever sees us together,

00:33:48.390 --> 00:33:49.240
he might

00:33:49.390 --> 00:33:51.240
do something even scarier.

00:33:52.030 --> 00:33:53.280
You think I'm afraid of him?

00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:55.240
He looks so dapper

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.430
but I know it's all an act.

00:33:56.560 --> 00:33:58.120
He always bullies me.

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:59.430
I know him the best.

00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:01.720
Cunning and petty.

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:03.910
Villainous and scheming.

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:05.680
Ling Buyi and you

00:34:05.990 --> 00:34:07.120
are a match made in heaven.

00:34:07.390 --> 00:34:08.990
Both are cold, inhuman.

00:34:09.680 --> 00:34:11.510
I want to protect him.

00:34:11.950 --> 00:34:14.510
You badmouthed him

00:34:14.510 --> 00:34:15.870
and tried to court me.

00:34:16.240 --> 00:34:17.870
If I bring this up to His Majesty,

00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:19.240
you will not be spared.

00:34:19.870 --> 00:34:21.760
Punishing you today

00:34:22.470 --> 00:34:23.240
is not unreasonable.

00:34:23.350 --> 00:34:26.030
Why? Why does everyone treat him better?

00:34:26.240 --> 00:34:28.430
Even Father too.

00:34:28.640 --> 00:34:30.240
You know the reason very well,
Your Highness.

00:34:30.870 --> 00:34:32.080
Regardless of Ling Buyi,

00:34:32.560 --> 00:34:34.120
His Majesty will still treat you like this.

00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.280
He told you something, didn't he?

00:34:40.120 --> 00:34:41.310
I know he is capable

00:34:41.510 --> 00:34:43.310
so he publicizes my shortcomings
everywhere.

00:34:43.390 --> 00:34:44.680
But I...

00:34:44.680 --> 00:34:46.720
Not just your shortcomings.

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:48.640
Your Highness.

00:34:49.200 --> 00:34:51.600
Although you're lazy

00:34:51.910 --> 00:34:53.510
and can be quite stupid,

00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:54.870
you often

00:34:54.870 --> 00:34:56.430
offer a special perspective.

00:34:57.030 --> 00:34:58.430
I heard

00:34:58.510 --> 00:35:00.870
you are fond of tales from exotic lands.

00:35:02.030 --> 00:35:03.200
How do you know?

00:35:05.640 --> 00:35:06.470
However,

00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:08.080
what I like

00:35:08.510 --> 00:35:09.990
cannot be used for governance

00:35:10.200 --> 00:35:11.560
nor can it be translated
into great literatures.

00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:13.510
They are just trivia.

00:35:13.720 --> 00:35:15.200
Father does not hold them
in high regard.

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.800
Your Highness.

00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:18.680
You know what you like

00:35:18.830 --> 00:35:19.870
has no used in the royal court

00:35:19.870 --> 00:35:21.200
and is not favored by His Majesty.

00:35:21.310 --> 00:35:22.680
Yet, you continue pursuing it.

00:35:23.910 --> 00:35:25.910
You have a utter innocence.

00:35:27.470 --> 00:35:28.800
That said,

00:35:29.560 --> 00:35:30.990
why do you need

00:35:31.720 --> 00:35:33.160
others' acknowledgment?

00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:35.120
You like it. That's what matters,
isn't it?

00:35:36.990 --> 00:35:37.990
In this regard,

00:35:38.510 --> 00:35:40.470
we're quite similar.

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:43.950
For what you have said today,

00:35:44.680 --> 00:35:45.680
I will look past this.

00:35:45.680 --> 00:35:46.430
All right

00:35:47.350 --> 00:35:48.760
From today onwards,

00:35:49.680 --> 00:35:50.910
we'll be friends.

00:36:04.680 --> 00:36:05.560
General Ling.

00:36:09.030 --> 00:36:09.950
Yes?

00:36:10.470 --> 00:36:11.280
I

00:36:11.600 --> 00:36:13.120
will marry into the Northwest soon.

00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:16.470
I don't know when I will see you again.

00:36:18.390 --> 00:36:19.200
I want

00:36:20.830 --> 00:36:22.310
to drink with you.

00:36:22.600 --> 00:36:23.470
Oh, no.

00:36:23.950 --> 00:36:25.950
The Fifth Prince and Lady Cheng...

00:36:28.390 --> 00:36:29.240
They...

00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:31.120
They what?

00:36:31.120 --> 00:36:32.510
What happened to the Fifth Prince
and Lady Cheng?

00:36:32.640 --> 00:36:33.600
They...

00:36:33.870 --> 00:36:35.160
Speak now.

00:36:35.350 --> 00:36:37.280
Stop stuttering.

00:36:40.600 --> 00:36:41.470
They

00:36:41.470 --> 00:36:42.800
met privately in Jingxin Lake.

00:37:28.460 --> 00:37:35.500
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:37:37.300 --> 00:37:44.500
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:37:46.060 --> 00:37:53.380
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:37:54.820 --> 00:38:01.980
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:06.700
The light between your brows

00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:11.180
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:19.300
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:38:21.300 --> 00:38:29.580
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:38:29.860 --> 00:38:38.300
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:47.020
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:38:47.580 --> 00:38:51.260
Both of us will be

00:38:51.620 --> 00:39:02.480
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:39:04.820 --> 00:39:11.120
Our sincerity
