= Love Like The Galaxy=
=Episode 41=
It's said an exemplary person sets an example
to teach people
to be upright.
The Crown Princess of the Sun Clan
had a malicious heart and dishonest behavior.
She caused a disturbance in the country because of her jealousy.
She has sown discord through slanders
which caused disorder in the palace
and hostility among the subjects.
Therefore, she'll be demoted to a commoner
and banished to the Northern Palace.
Crown Prince,
please accept the royal edict.
I shall take my leave now.
Are you here to laugh at me?
When I just entered the palace,
I was alone and had no one to rely on.
You and I have a similar background,
and we used to take care of each other.
Yet, I didn't expect
all your painstaking effort would be in vain.
You ended up harming yourself more than others.
I especially came here to see you today
because I want to show you my gratitude
because you were kind to me before.
You don't have to lecture me.
Even if everyone looks down on me,
I'll never regret what I did.
You don't know how hard
it was to keep a husband
who didn't love you
for so many years.
You have no right
to tell me to be generous.
I'm not asking you to be generous.
I just don't want you
to trap yourself
in the grief of self-pity
because of your jealousy.
When the Crown Prince kept his promise and married you,
you should've gotten along with him
and cherished this marriage.
Instead of tormenting another woman
because of your inferiority and suspicions.
All this while,
the Crown Prince wasn't the one
who couldn't forget Qu Lingjun,
but you
kept reminding him of her.
You always blame others
for the misfortune of your marriage
and never reflect on yourself.
That's why things ended up like this today.
I'm not wrong.
There's nothing I should reflect on.
I rather die in the Northern Palace
than face this person again.
This...
This is the best place for me to return to.
I rather die
than leave the imperial palace.
It was never
the imperial palace that trapped you
but your heart.
I thought
the Crown Prince would continue his relationship with Qu Lingjun
after ending his marriage with the Crown Princess.
I didn't expect
that she would marry Official Liang.
It's a good thing
that Qu Lingjun marries Official Liang.
Official Liang is an upright man,
and he looks after his kin.
I'm sure after they get married,
Official Liang will treat Qu Lingjun's children
as his own.
You're right.
Official Liang has defended Qu Lingjun many times
and stepped forward bravely at a critical time.
I'm sure
he'll be a good husband in the future.
You're praising another man
in front of your fiance.
Aren't you afraid I might be upset?
I didn't know the great General Ling
would get jealous.
I always thought I was unlucky in the past.
When I think back,
I think
I guess I saved all my luck
so I could meet you.
The Crown Princess married someone who didn't love her.
She lived her life questioning herself
and in self-pity.
Qu Lingjun did her duty as a wife.
Yet, she had to suffer a lot because she married the wrong man.
When I compared their lives
with mine,
I suddenly
felt I was lucky
and had good judgment.
I'm the one
with the good judgment, all right?
Look.
That shop's preserved fruits are really tasty.
I'll buy you some preserved fruits
so your lips become sweet after you eat them.
Give me two bags
of preserved fruits that make the lips sweet.
No, General Ling.
It doesn't cost that much.
I'm paying
for everyone here.
He is good at everything.
But he is a bit conspicuous.
Don't be scared.
It's all right, General Ling.
Please come often.
Try some.
Let's go.
Urgent military report! Shouchun has defected!
Today's pancake
is pretty good.
Your Majesty, you've always liked the chewy part.
After so many years,
you still like it.
The palace's imperial kitchen
can never have the same taste as before.
Don't you think so?
That's because you missed the hardships in the past.
At that time,
a bite of solid food
is already tasty enough.
Zisheng,
what are you thinking about?
I think
it's not suitable to gather troops in Shouchun.
First,
there aren't many fertile lands in the city.
If they're besieged, it'll be difficult
for them to sustain their food supply.
Second,
they have no workshop to produce weapons.
If it's a long-term battle,
it would be difficult to supply weapons.
So what do we do?
So I think
we should divide the troops
to besiege
Shouchun.
At the same time,
we'll set up an ambush
on both sides of the mountain.
But
we must clear the bandits away.
Say,
has Peng Kun gone out of his mind?
Why is he revolting all of a sudden?
Your Majesty,
I'll lead the troops
and level Shouchun for you.
Don't take it too easy.
The noble families
and officials petitioned
to send their sons and nephews into the army,
so they can gain experience in the Shouchun's war.
These noble kids
are fragile and tender.
It's hard to lead them.
Your Majesty,
these lads think it's easy to win Shouchun's war
so they wanted to join my troops to get some merits.
Vigorous men wanting to fight on the battlefield
had always been a good chance to gain merits.
The noble families want to send their kin
to gain experience.
So it's understandable.
Since they want to go,
I can only support them.
But it's not going to be easy
to lead this group of people.
I can lead them.
Out of the question.
Your Majesty,
I'm willing to lead the troops to recapture Shouchun.
Who says you're going?
Your Majesty, calm down.
- Calm down. - There, there.
A vigorous man wanting to fight on the battlefield, right?
Zisheng is only eager to serve his country.
That's right, Your Majesty.
This is...
This is a great opportunity to make contributions.
If Zisheng wants to go
to gain more experience, it's understandable too.
Gain experience?
Does he need any more experience?
He already went to more than 100 battles in a year.
You're right, Your Majesty.
Let's keep eating.
Stop eating!
Everyone, leave!
You, come back here!
Your Majesty, try this.
It's delightful.
But why did you make so much?
I heard Zisheng was discussing military strategy
in the assembly hall with several generals.
I'm sure he didn't eat well.
So I especially prepared more.
I didn't expect
His Majesty was angry again.
I dare not deliver this inside the hall.
Why did His Majesty get angry again?
Is the war too difficult?
Attendant Cao said
it was Zisheng who asked to lead the troops.
His Majesty was so angry that he threw away the pancakes.
But he's too biased.
Are you worried about Zisheng?
I'll teach you one method.
Come here.
Stand right here.
Stand still.
You brat.
You always pull this strategy.
Every time we talk about marriage,
you always want to go to war.
It's just Shouchun.
I have other generals to lead the troops!
I don't need you to worry about it.
Peng Kun murdered Lord Qian'an and delayed the reinforcement,
which led to the fall of Gu City.
I suspect that he had colluded
with Emperor Li at that time.
So I must go to Shouchun
and capture Peng Kun back here alive for investigation.
So I can rest my uncle
and the spirits of the dead in Gu City in peace.
About Huo,
I'll definitely get someone to investigate this matter.
I've decided
to let Cui You lead the troops
to capture Peng Kun back to the capital for trial.
While you
should stay here quietly
and wait for your wedding.
You brat.
Even if you don't care about yourself,
you should think about your fiancee.
It's chaotic on the battlefield.
What if something bad happens to you?
How are you going to get married in the future?
Lady Cheng has arrived!
Did you hear that? Your fiancee is here.
I'm sure she's going to give you an earful.
We're here. Come inside.
Your Majesty.
Her Majesty heard
that you were too busy to have your meal.
So she sent me to deliver sweet wine.
Shen'an is so thoughtful.
Unlike someone
who always makes me worry.
Try it.
I made it myself.
Is it good?
Yes.
Didn't you say
it's for me?
See how your fiancee dotes on you so much?
You brat.
Here's yours, Your Majesty.
This one.
Your Majesty,
here's your sweet liquor.
I did not come here to anger you.
But Her Majesty wants me
to deliver a message to you.
At the beginning of a new empire,
a general should be on the battlefield.
If the general loaf on his duty.
it's inevitable for others to criticize Zisheng
for being unworthy of his position.
Did Shen'an really say that?
Her Majesty said it.
Because of the Crown Prince's case,
Shen'an's health
has become worse than before.
But now,
she has the energy to persuade me.
How can I refuse her?
I
was only worried about him.
I want him to stay to get married.
Is that wrong?
I heard many officials are
also sending their male members to gain experience in Shouchun.
They're also worried about their children.
If we want to treat others nicely,
we shouldn't restrain them.
We should support them from behind.
It's the same with parents toward their children.
That is how a woman should treat her husband too.
Her Majesty cares about you dearly.
But she didn't stop you
from reviewing the memorials into the late night
and dealing with state affairs day and night.
You, young lady
sure speak in an ingratiating manner.
Zisheng.
Next time,
you must teach her properly.
What about Shouchun?
Listen.
After you capture Peng Kun,
you must return to the capital right away.
You better get married after that.
If you delay this again,
I'm going to marry
your fiancee to someone else!
I don't want to marry someone else.
I'll wait for you to come back.
All right.
I'll come back soon.
Oh, my heart is throbbing.
Stop laughing.
Leave the soup.
You two can leave.
So you can show affection to each other.
If you want to kiss me,
we should go somewhere else.
We're at the palace, after all.
I wasn't trying to kiss you.
I had just want to take a good look at you
to remember your face.
After my father came back from his war expedition,
he looked very tanned
other than his eyes and teeth.
You must not torment yourself
and turn into such an ugly look.
I don't want to hold hands with an ink stick
when I get married.
Since you're so worried about me,
why did
you persuade His Majesty to let me go?
I know your uncle's death
and those who died in Gu City
had always been a pain in your heart.
You've never really let it go either.
Her Majesty is not well.
I need to take care of her in Changqiu Palace.
If I didn't have to stay,
I'd definitely go to battle and fight the enemies with you.
I want to see you capture Peng Kun.
I want to share the joy
of having the great revenge avenged with you.
All right.
With these words,
I feel assured.
Go and come back soon.
I'll wait for you in the capital.
I'll wait for you to marry me.
I promise you.
After I take care of Peng Kun,
I'll definitely hold a grand wedding for you.
Wait for me.
Incense.
Yes, Young Lady.
What's wrong?
Is it bleeding?
Why don't you let me...
They said
when we sew armor for those who go out to fight,
we must do it ourselves.
Or else it wouldn't be sincere
and wouldn't be able to protect him.
Again.
What's wrong again?
Women's chores are too hard.
I think I pricked at the same place.
It was your daughter's finger's got pricked.
Why are you the one in pain?
If the servants find out
you're out here peeking
instead of sleeping,
won't you be a joke?
I'm sure Niaoniao knows
that His Majesty dispatched me to Tongniu County
to supervise the transportation of copper.
That's why she stays up all night preparing this armor for me.
Judging by the size,
I don't think she's making it for you.
If not for me,
who else is she making it for?
Since when did you have the habit
of eavesdropping?
On this march,
we can bypass Tongniu County.
Not only can we save time traveling on foot,
but we can also reach Shouchun within five days.
Report!
(Ling)
Young Master,
the scout reported
that someone was approaching our encampment.
It looks like this person is trying to sneak in.
It's been years
since I've seen anyone tired of living.
Someone actually had the nerve to sneak into Panqing Military Camp.
No need to report such trivial matters.
After you capture that person,
you can kill that person on the spot.
- You can't! - You can't!
Why not?
(Panqing Military Camp)
That's odd.
This is a huge military camp.
But why is there no guard at all?
Where could he be?
General Ling sure works hard.
His camp is in the southeast.
But he would come
to the southwest to train us every day.
You're right.
He has to pass by three barracks
and one weaponry storage.
He had to travel so far.
(The southeast?)
I was loud enough.
Do you think she can hear me?
It's all right.
If Madam still gets lost,
our brothers will take care of it.
Such a huge tent.
But there's no guard at all.
It's so dangerous.
All trespassers
will be killed.
That'll depend if you can bear to kill me.
Of course, I can't.
If you want to see me,
you can send a message.
Why do you want to dress up
and risk sneaking into the military camp?
Aren't you afraid
of being taken as a spy
and killed?
I took the risk to sneak in here
because I have my reasons.
General Ling,
you don't even have
a sentry post or guard in such a large military camp.
If I'm really an enemy's spy
with excellent martial arts,
you would have fallen
into my hands now.
Do you really think
there's such a coincidence?
The patrol happened didn't notice you,
and they happened to be in front of you
exposing the location of the main camp.
Come with me.
So you've been making
a fool out of me.
If you're truly an enemy's spy,
you would have died several times
no matter how excellent your martial arts are.
You...
But I'm happy
that you risked your life to see me.
Before I set out,
I have a gift for you.
Do you see that?
That piece of land.
His Majesty asked
what do I want for a reward after I returned with a victory.
I asked for the open space beside the military camp.
There's an underground hot spring here.
It's suitable for planting flowers and plants.
Don't you always want
to construct your own house?
In the future,
our residence will be here.
You can do whatever you want.
Be it cultivating the land
or building a canal.
It's up to you.
In the future,
this will be our home.
You always want a place
that truly belongs to you.
In this place,
you no longer have to worry about being blamed.
No longer have to worry
about being abandoned.
We'll stay here,
have children here,
grow old here
until the end of time.
What's wrong?
You don't like it?
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I like it.
I truly like it.
I'm glad you like it.
Then we can plant
a bed of flowers in the courtyard.
You'll play the zither while I play the flute.
Just like what Third Aunt and Third Uncle do.
We can
marvel at the flowers,
admire the moon,
and gaze at the stars in the sky.
From now on,
we'll grow old
and die together.
Zisheng,
don't worry.
We'll never be an unhappy couple
like your parents.
Actually, they're not an unhappy couple.
What?
Nothing.
It's getting late.
I'll send you back.
Promise me.
After you return with a victory,
we'll build our new home.
Is that all right?
All right.
I promise you.
Aren't you curious
about why I took the risk to come here?
Actually, I brought a gift for you.
Why did you prick your fingers to such an extent?
Don't make armor for me again.
Don't you like the mandarin duck wings?
These are mandarin duck wings?
I like it as long as you made it.
But
I thought these were chicken wings.
Chicken wings?
These are mandarin duck wings.
I made this
to remind you constantly.
At all times,
you must remember
that you have a fiancee.
While you're risking your life,
you'll remember
that I'm waiting for your return
when you look at these mandarin duck wings.
All right.
If you say these are mandarin duck wings,
then so it is.
Young Master's armor
has two mandarin duck wings
attached to it.
That's so embarrassing.
I don't even want to go to war now.
The enemy would laugh at us.
In the future,
you can leave needlework to me.
You don't have to do it anymore.
You know needlework?
I personally do
most of the military affairs.
When it comes to needlework,
you can say I'm pretty good at it.
After I return,
you can leave
all the needlework to me.
All right.
That's settled then.
If you think my needlework is bad,
you can take these wings off.
But you must never take off
the soft armor I gave you.
This soft armor is made of copper wire mixed with hemp.
It is not only soft but pretty resistant to blade attack.
It can protect your life at a critical time.
I also embroidered a rabbit.
That was a rabbit?
I thought
it was a rat.
That's a rabbit.
I was born in the year of a rabbit.
Yes,
it's a rabbit.
If you say it's a rabbit,
then a rabbit it is.
That's a rabbit, to begin with.
Yes, a rabbit.
Why are they behaving like that in public?
Why is it so hard for them to part?
I wonder who was the one who was impatient with the horse
for being slow after he won a war.
He had to jump off the horse
and rush to see me.
Heng,
you still remember the past so clearly.
I don't want to remember
all those ridiculous things.
It's so tiring.
I can't forget them either.
Look how heartless she is.
She only cares about her fiance.
She embroidered all night.
But she didn't even give me a pair of socks.
Are you jealous of your son-in-law now?
If she really did make one for you,
would you be as thick-skinned as Ling Buyi
to put it on?
You're right about that.
Luckily, I didn't have
to wear those chicken wings.
Or else I don't know how to face anyone.
Zisheng,
you're a good person.
You must live longer.
Or else I'll have to marry someone else.
You won't have the chance.
I'll definitely come back alive.
You must
come back alive.
I've never seen
Zisheng so happy.
I'm so happy.
I only hope
he no longer has to go to war after this.
So the family
and husband and wife
no longer have to be apart anymore.
Don't worry.
I'll definitely
unify the land.
So there will be
no more war in the world.
Lady Cheng!
What's that?
That's Zisheng's mansion's private seal.
It looks like
Zisheng is going to entrust his family to Shaoshang.
It's the most beautiful thing in the world
to see lovers get married.
Good.
This is good.
(It's too bad)
(I've never experienced this)
(in my life.)
Soldiers!
I wish
all of you
victory in your first battle
and return with triumph!
I
and your family
shall await your return!
We shall do our best
and not disappoint Your Majesty!
We shall do our best
and not disappoint Your Majesty!
Set out!
