[Episode 29]
-
Father!
-
Where were you?
Why didn't you bring Jia Yun with you?
-
You always talk about how Mother
often would get lost in the woods.
-
I thought it sounded like a mystery.
-
I went today in secret and, of course,
I lost my way as well.
-
Father, I also ran into a snake monster
and was nearly harmed.
-
Luckily, this sister saved me.
-
Don't run off by yourself again.
-
Thank you, Miss, for saving him.
-
It is nothing. Sir, you are...
-
My lord is the Celestial Tribe's
Crown Prince, Ye Hua.
-
Crown Prince?
Miao Qing greets Your Highness.
-
No need to stand on ceremony.
-
My older brother is
the Water King of Eastern Sea.
-
So you are Princess Miao Qing.
-
You saved A-Li's life today.
I must return this kindness.
-
Do you have a wish, Princess?
-
I have always admired
your fighting prowess.
-
It is my great fortune
to have met you today.
-
If I had a wish
-
I'd only wish to stay by
Your Highness's side.
-
Stay by my side?
-
You want to marry my father?
-
No, no.
Don't misunderstand, young prince.
-
I know I am merely
a princess of Eastern Sea.
-
I cannot enter Xiwu Palace.
-
I only want to stay at this hut
-
and when Your Highness brings
the young prince to visit
-
I could wash your clothes
and cook for you.
-
Princess Miao Qing.
-
With your status, it is inappropriate
for you to do such things.
-
Moreover, I am the one who is
supposed to fulfill a wish of yours.
-
It is unreasonable to make you serve us.
-
This is a wish of mine. I hope
Your Highness can grant me this wish.
-
Father.
-
Do you truly have such a wish?
-
Then we'll make it a period of ten days.
-
Once the ten days are over,
you will leave.
-
Your Highness.
-
What is it?
-
I will obey your command.
-
Father, I don't like that sister.
Don't let her stay.
-
She's clearly... clearly trying to
take Mother's position.
-
Enough.
-
Princess Miao Qing saved your life.
-
I promised I would fulfill her wish.
I will not break my word.
-
Father, you said Mother
would be back soon!
-
If you do this, Mother will be mad
when she gets back!
-
Enough.
-
A-Li.
-
Your mother will not be coming back.
-
Why?
-
Didn't you say as long as
the Soul-gathering Lamp is kept lit
-
Mother will return?
-
The Soul-gathering Lamp
has been extinguished.
-
She will not be coming back.
-
Why would it be extinguished?
Did Tian Shu not look after it?
-
That's enough! Step out.
-
Father!
-
Step out!
-
My lord, please calm down. His Highness
is just eager to meet Her Highness.
-
You two catch up to him quickly.
Just let him cry alone for a bit.
-
- Yes.
- Yes.
-
Your Highness?
-
- Your Highness!
- Your Highness!
-
- Slow down!
- What's wrong with His Highness?
-
He had an argument with the Crown Prince.
It is best if you don't go inside.
-
My lord is furious right now,
and won't wish to be disturbed.
-
Your Highness!
-
Dragonfly, Father must be
lying to me, isn't he?
-
I have waited for Mother for 300 years.
Mother will surely come back, right?
-
What is going on?
-
Why did His Highness say
the Soul-gathering Lamp has been put out?
-
It is because that Bai Feng Jiu
of Qing Qiu was too mischievous.
-
She transformed into Consort Su Jin
-
and stole the lamp,
putting out the light.
-
Think about it.
She is a princess of Qing Qiu.
-
She is Bai Qian's niece,
and is friends with Dong Hua Dijun.
-
Thus, His Highness couldn't
do anything about her
-
and could only let the matter rest.
-
His Highness and the young prince
have been waiting for 300 years.
-
So what of it?
-
Honestly, the lamp would only
create a person who looks similar.
-
It wouldn't really be her.
-
It being extinguished
is it's own blessing.
-
- Aunt.
- It's been returned?
-
I've returned it.
-
Did the Celestial Tribe condemn you?
-
Third Prince plead for leniency
on my behalf.
-
That's good. Your time spent
in Heaven wasn't for nothing.
-
I'll be going to the Eastern Sea
in a few days.
-
On my way back, I'll be stopping by
Fourth Brother's manor.
-
Stay here in Qing Qiu.
Don't cause anymore trouble.
-
What are you going to
the Eastern Sea for?
-
The Water King of the Eastern Sea
has born a son.
-
I just received an invitation
to the banquet.
-
But you have never liked these sorts
of social occasions and banquets.
-
Why is Water King of
the Eastern Sea so lucky
-
to be graced by your attendance?
-
Normally, I don't like
these sorts of social occasions.
-
However, back in the day,
Mother had difficulty giving birth to me.
-
Luckily, the midwife of
the Water King's family helped
-
saving Mother a lot of suffering.
-
They're inviting me this time
for a happy occasion.
-
It doesn't feel right to forget
the kindness they showed.
-
Mi Gu.
-
You're back, Little Princess!
-
I thought you'd be imprisoned
in heaven for 30 to 50 years.
-
It was all your rotten idea.
-
What orders do you have, Aunt?
-
Go fetch the biggest luminous pearl
from the pond.
-
You're giving a gift again?
-
How did you know?
-
Who in Qing Qiu doesn't know
you like giving luminous pearls?
-
The rank of the immortal
and Aunt's mood on that day
-
will determine the size of
the luminous pearl being gifted.
-
Back when Fox King was
living in the Fox Den
-
there were plenty of
luminous pearls in the pond.
-
Now you can almost see to the bottom.
-
Enough talking. Go get it quickly.
-
All right, my prodigal Aunt.
-
The Water King of Eastern Sea is merely
-
preparing a banquet for
his one-month-old baby.
-
He's taken several days absence
-
from court meetings
in the Emperial Hall.
-
That's right. It's just a banquet.
Does he need to go to so much trouble?
-
Do you all not know?
-
The Aunt from Qing Qiu will be attending
the Eastern Sea's dinner banquet.
-
This Aunt is afflicted with
an eye ailment
-
and cannot stand bright lights.
-
However, the glazed coral tiles
of the Eastern Sea Palace
-
are excessively bright and dazzling.
-
That's why Water King of the Eastern Sea
-
has been busy searching everywhere
for water lily leaves
-
to weave together to cover up
anything overly bright.
-
Is the Aunt you are referring to
-
the Fox King Bai Zhi's daughter,
High Goddess Bai Qian?
-
That's correct.
-
In this world
-
this is the only high goddess who is
worthy of us to address as Aunt.
-
Yes.
-
To be able to catch a glimpse
of Aunt is truly not easy.
-
That is why I already have
a gift prepared.
-
Fresh peach blossom facial cream.
-
It would surely be the utmost honor
to gain Aunt's favor.
-
Yes.
-
Isn't she the one who has an engagement
with the Crown Prince?
-
Heavenly Lord personally agreed to
this engagement 300 years ago.
-
I thought I would be able to attend
the Crown Prince's wedding banquet.
-
However, in these 300 years
-
there has not been any word
of the two tying the knot.
-
That's right.
-
His Highness has a son
-
but the position of his main wife
has remained vacant.
-
Bai Qian has remained in the valley
of Qing Qiu ever since she was born.
-
Nobody's invitation has been able to
successfully invite her out.
-
Those two have never even met.
-
Yes.
-
The two have yet to be married,
but they are in no hurry.
-
It is quite a wonder.
-
That's...
-
It is indeed strange.
-
However, the Water King of Eastern Sea
is quite fortunate.
-
Aunt hasn't left Qing Qiu
in tens of millennia.
-
Yet, he has managed to invite her.
-
It is such an honor.
-
It is quite an honor.
-
However, Water King of Eastern Sea
has been very troubled lately.
-
He never expected Aunt
would be attending the banquet.
-
He had even invited
Water King of North Sea.
-
Yesterday, the Crown Prince brought
his son to visit the Far East
-
and will be attending
the banquet along the way.
-
When the time comes, the three of them
will run into each other at the banquet.
-
Water King of Eastern Sea
is in a panic now.
-
Who knows what mayhem
may ensue at the banquet.
-
Who is this Aunt from Qing Qiu?
-
Does she have an existing feud with
Lord Ye Hua and Water King of North Sea?
-
You are young.
You might not know of this.
-
Before the great war between
Celestial Tribe and Ghost Tribe
-
Aunt once had a marriage arrangement
with Heavenly Lord's second prince.
-
It was originally
a well-matched engagement.
-
But somehow, Sang Ji fell in love
with Aunt's maid
-
and he was determined to
call off the engagement.
-
Water King of North Sea
wanted to marry Aunt's maid
-
even if it meant offending
Fox King Bai Zhi?
-
How good-looking is that maid?
-
I have seen that lady.
-
The second prince was
holding her by the arm
-
and knelt in front of the Heavenly Lord
-
and asked to marry her.
-
She is indeed a rare beauty.
-
However, compared to the lady
in Fox King Bai Zhi's family
-
her beauty is not even close.
-
I have never seen the lady
-
but I've heard Aunt has
a likeness to her mother.
-
No, even more beautiful than her mother.
-
I have actually had the good fortune
to catch a glimpse of Aunt.
-
At the time, I was just a young boy
following under Heavenly Lord.
-
I accompanied Heavenly Empress to
Zhe Yan's land to view peach blossoms.
-
I happened to see Aunt
-
dancing lightly and gracefully
atop the peach tree branches.
-
Because I was far away
-
I only saw the swath of a red dress
among the vivid peach blossoms.
-
That view was exceptionally alluring.
Exceptionally beautiful!
-
Even such a beautiful woman
can be rejected.
-
Heaven's will sure is
difficult to predict.
-
Yes.
-
Perhaps it is precisely because of this
-
that Aunt is unwilling to
step out of Qing Qiu.
-
Heaven's will is hard to fathom.
-
- Yes.
- That is so.
-
You scared me.
-
You just love to stir up trouble.
You are everywhere.
-
It's a good thing I didn't marry you.
-
Even if you wanted to marry me,
I wouldn't wed you!
-
A-Li.
-
I received an invitation
from Water King of Eastern Sea.
-
Do you want to visit the Eastern Sea?
-
No.
-
Then I'll go by myself.
-
Are you going to leave me here alone?
-
This is your choice.
-
Then I'll just go.
-
Your Highness, today is the tenth day.
-
You can leave now.
-
Isn't Your Highness heading to
my brother's Eastern Sea today?
-
- I can lead the way--
- No need.
-
I shall take my leave.
-
Sit properly.
-
Who are you?
-
How dare you trespass into Qing Qiu?
-
Young man, I am Star Lord Si Ming.
-
I came to visit the young princess
of Qing Qiu, Bai Feng Jiu.
-
- Si Ming?
- Yes.
-
Si Ming!
-
I haven't been able to sleep,
waiting for you. You're finally here!
-
- Your Highness.
- Come, let's go inside.
-
Your Highness! Your Highness!
-
The valley contains many of
Aunt's precious possessions.
-
Outsiders must not be allowed inside.
-
Especially those of Celestial Tribe.
-
I am very sorry, Star Lord Si Ming.
-
The Fox Den does indeed have a rule
that outsiders are not allowed.
-
It's no matter.
-
Since I came to pick you up
so you can repay your debt
-
it doesn't matter if I go in or not.
-
But will Your Highness need to prepare?
This may take two months of your time.
-
- Two months?
- Yes.
-
Mi Gu.
-
Is there any way I can avoid
going to the banquet at the Eastern Sea?
-
You can't.
A debt must be repaid.
-
A favor must of course be
returned with a favor.
-
No matter how capable you are,
the debt still needs to be repaid.
-
You're acting weird today.
Who has provoked you?
-
It's nothing.
-
I'm afraid Aunt won't let me leave
if she learns of this.
-
So can you tell Aunt only after
I have been gone for a few days?
-
Oh, yes.
-
Where is my luminous pearl?
-
Right! The luminous pearl.
-
Aunt, this is the largest pearl
in the pond.
-
By the way, Mi Gu,
I'd like something of yours.
-
What is it?
-
I want a branch from your tree.
-
It's a long journey to the Eastern Sea.
-
If I were to lose my way,
I could rely on it to to find my way.
-
Yes, my tree branch can give directions.
-
It is perfect for a high goddess
like Aunt who likes to get lost.
-
You're acting very odd today.
-
No, I'm odd every day.
-
Aunt, are you setting out
for the Eastern Sea now?
-
By the way, on my way back
-
I'll be stopping by to see
Fourth Brother in the north.
-
Keep watch of the Fox Den
with Feng Jiu while I'm away.
-
Don't get into arguments.
-
Fourth Uncle has indeed been
in the north lately.
-
He said the bird, Bi Fang,
was angry and returned there
-
so he has gone looking for Bi Fang.
-
You believe that?
-
Every time Fourth Brother is angry
at Zhe Yan, he uses that excuse.
-
In these 300 years since I've woken up
-
Bi Fang must have ran off
over a dozen times already.
-
Aunt is so wise.
-
When will the Little Princess
finish repaying her debt?
-
Long live Your Majesty.
-
Rise.
-
Thank you, Your Majesty.
-
Is that... Dijun?
-
It is Dijun.
-
Did Dijun do something wrong
and offend Heavenly Lord
-
to be sent down to the mortal realm?
-
How could that be possible?
-
He himself wanted to come
to experience trials.
-
Experience trials?
-
Dijun will be experiencing trials
in the mortal realm for 60 years.
-
I thought if Your Highness
wants to repay a debt
-
this would be the best time to do so.
-
How will I do it?
-
I've figured it out for you already.
-
Why did you bring me inside the palace?
-
Who is that?
-
Dijun is an emperor in the mortal realm.
-
I will arrange for you
to be in the palace.
-
That is who you will be
to repay your debt.
-
This Honored Lady will
fall into this pond soon
-
catch a cold, and suffer a long illness.
-
No medicine will be of any use,
and this beauty shall pass away.
-
You shall take advantage of this
to continue writing her story.
-
Henceforth, you shall be
Honored Lady Chen in the mortal realm.
-
How pitiful.
-
It's not pitiful.
-
Ever since she entered the palace
and saw the emperor twice
-
she hasn't had the chance
to sleep with him again.
-
To be living such a life in the palace
-
the earlier she leaves,
the earlier she is set free.
-
If I become Honored Lady Chen,
how should I repay my debt?
-
Use your discretion.
-
Quick! Now is the moment! Hurry!
-
Help! Help!
-
Quick, help her out!
-
Pull her up!
-
They're all charlatans.
-
They take a quick look, prescribe
some medicine, and then brush us off.
-
Are they taking advantage of us
because our lady is not favored?
-
Let it go. Do not mind them.
-
Step out. I'm tired now.
-
Yes.
-
Your Highness.
-
You're here.
-
I came to see if you've adapted
to the palace's rules.
-
I've spent time in Taichen Palace.
It is about the same here.
-
Besides, I constantly
cough up blood every day
-
according to the Book of Destiny
-
so I don't have to interact
with anyone either.
-
Come spring, this illness will
eventually get better.
-
However, this plumed cockscomb on
your forehead is a bit troublesome.
-
Is it?
-
My aunt said this was bestowed by heaven
and is very beautiful.
-
Yes, it is beautiful.
-
However, Honored Lady Chen did not
have a birthmark on her forehead.
-
Having such a flower appear
out of thin air may attract suspicion.
-
Will it?
-
When will His Majesty see me?
-
The physician says Your Ladyship's health
has nearly fully recovered.
-
I have also reported this.
-
Don't worry, Your Ladyship.
-
When His Majesty sees
Your Ladyship's nameplate
-
he will remember you.
-
Who is that?
-
That seems to be Honored Lady Chen.
-
Honored Lady Chen?
-
That's right, it is Honored Lady Chen.
-
I heard she fell into the water
in the twelfth month of the year
-
and has been sick since.
-
She has just now become
well enough to get out of bed.
-
Is it the Honored Lady Chen who
-
has been visited by His Majesty
only twice after entering the palace?
-
Yes, Your Highness.
-
Greetings, Empress and Your Highnesses.
-
- Greetings, Empress.
- Rise.
-
- Thank you, Your Highness.
- Thank you, Your Highness.
-
What is that makeup on your forehead?
It is so dreadful.
-
Wash it off quickly.
-
I was born with it.
-
Why don't I remember you having
such a thing on your forehead?
-
Your Highness.
-
After my lady recovered from her illness
-
this plumed cockscomb flower
appeared on her forehead.
-
The physician does not know
how it came to be either.
-
He said... he said it is a good thing.
-
What is good about a birthmark
that is so unpleasant to the eyes?
-
It makes me uncomfortable
just looking at it.
-
Your Highness, in my opinion,
it is a demonic flower.
-
How could it possibly be
a demonic flower?
-
This is clearly my--
-
Clearly what?
-
It is clearly a mark that
-
likens my recovery from
a serious illness to a rebirth.
-
Your Highness, listen to what she says.
It is absolutely hilarious.
-
Who hasn't fallen ill before
in the palace?
-
But only hers is like a rebirth,
and she gains a mark.
-
Enough.
-
The appearance of this thing on
your forehead is much too strange.
-
Your nameplate will be removed from
selection for His Majesty's night visit
-
in case this is something evil
that will cause harm to His Majesty.
-
Yes.
-
That was clearly just an excuse so that
-
Your Ladyship won't get a chance
to sleep with His Majesty.
-
I can't even see Dijun.
How will I repay him?
-
Since he won't be coming
to sleep in my chambers
-
then a chance encounter should work.
-
In Fourth Brother's storybooks
-
doesn't the emperor always find
his beloved by a chance encounter?
-
The lower in status,
the more he likes her.
-
Your Ladyship, what are you
staring at me for?
-
Yu Dang, prepare for me a set of
the same maid outfit you are wearing.
-
Yes.
-
Dijun!
-
I wonder what Dijun's temperament
is like in the mortal realm.
-
Would he be easy to get along with?
-
What should be the first thing
I say to him for him to remember me?
-
I must not be like
how I was in the Celestial Palace.
-
Yes, I must be dignified.
-
I must have the air and demeanor
of a princess of Qing Qiu.
-
Your Majesty.
-
- Your Majesty.
- Empress.
-
Your Majesty is heading to...
-
To visit Noble Consort.
-
Then I shall not delay Your Majesty.
-
He's leaving just like that?
-
Your Highness.
-
Honored Lady Chen.
-
What are you doing dressed as a maid?
-
Has Your Ladyship seen His Majesty?
-
It doesn't matter if you didn't see him.
-
I have found out His Majesty's itinerary
over the next few days.
-
We can follow after His Majesty.
You will eventually see him.
-
Empress said I am not to step foot
out of Handan Quarters.
-
I won't be able to see His Majesty.
-
You're asking me for peaches?
-
Do you think the peaches of
my Ten Mile Peach Tree Woods
-
can be had by anyone in the world?
-
You are right, High God.
-
Because of my wife's pregnancy cravings,
she is pestering me all day for peaches.
-
In this season, peach blossoms
are blooming everywhere
-
but as for peaches
-
I'm afraid that in heaven or on earth,
they can only be found here.
-
So may I dare ask that you grant me
a few peaches of immortality?
-
Not much. Just a few will do.
-
Since you have dared to ask
-
I mustn't be too difficult on you,
former second prince of Celestial Tribe.
-
After all, I am your elder.
-
Follow me.
-
Thank you, High God.
-
Do not thank me.
-
If you must, then thank
your own identity.
-
I am giving you a few peaches
out of respect to your father.
-
In the span of one day,
both Aunt and Little Princess have left.
-
The Fox Den that has been
lively for 300 years
-
has become cold and cheerless again.
-
It is so cold and cheerless.
-
She still won't give up.
-
My lady of the North Sea
seeks an audience with Aunt.
-
You come a dozen times a year.
Aren't you tired?
-
What? You won't even come out
of your palanquin this time?
-
Why bother putting on a show?
-
My lady is with child.
It is not easy for her to move around.
-
Wait!
-
Leave, leave! She won't see you.
I'm going to get back to my nuts.
-
Your Highness, although
Bai Qian of Qing Qiu is
-
a high goddess revered around the world
-
our North Sea is not
any less respectable.
-
Why must you see her?
-
I committed a wrong 300 years ago.
-
It has troubled me all this time.
-
Only by settling this matter
can I live my days in peace.
-
I don't understand.
-
Your Highness, we have a banquet
to attend in the Eastern Sea.
-
Let's hurry back.
-
I'll come again after the banquet.
-
Bai Qian, come sit.
-
Bai Qian.
-
A few days ago, Water King
of North Sea and his wife
-
came to admire my peach blossoms.
-
Because of pregnancy cravings, his wife
was pestering him every day for peaches.
-
You know that in this season
-
nowhere else in the world
can peaches be found except here.
-
Since he so shamelessly asked me for some
-
I found it difficult to refuse.
-
This peach tree woods belongs to you.
The peaches are yours as well.
-
There's no need to explain to me.
-
Look at you. Your face is already green.
-
It's just a few contraceptive peaches.
-
You gave them contraceptive peaches?
-
What's the matter?
-
You feel ashamed that I gave
the sweet couple contraceptive peaches?
-
Don't worry.
-
The contraceptive peaches
will only make their family
-
temporarily unable to conceive
a fifth child for a few dozen millennia.
-
It won't cost them much happiness,
and won't cost me too much shame.
-
Actually, whether they have
a fifth baby has nothing to do with me.
-
Then what are you still
so bothered about them for?
-
What I'm bothered by is if Sang Ji
hadn't canceled the engagement
-
then the consequent troublesome
engagement wouldn't have happened.
-
While I was unaware, you and Father
agreed on this engagement for me.
-
Now it has been 300 years.
It's becoming increasingly awkward.
-
Yes, the Heavenly Lord's family
loves to say vain words.
-
They haven't even come to see me and
your father to discuss your wedding date.
-
Ye Hua has now married Consort Su Jin
who is greatly favored by Heavenly Lord
-
and also has an imperial great-grandson.
-
He has even less intention of
attending to this engagement with you.
-
Continuing to delay like this
isn't a good option.
-
With Heavenly Lord having put
this engagement to the side
-
even if someone in this world
would like to marry you
-
he wouldn't dare commit
an offense against the Celestial Tribe.
-
Fortunately, I am in no hurry
to be married.
-
You can't say that.
-
It has been delayed for so long.
-
Perhaps you might become
the laughingstock of the world again.
-
This won't do.
-
I'll have to discuss this with
your parents one day.
-
Once I think that according to seniority,
he should address me as Aunt
-
and according to age,
he should address me as his senior
-
I just can't bring myself to be
so cruel as to fulfill this engagement.
-
Forget it. Let's not talk about this
shameful mess with the Celestial Tribe.
-
The Eastern Sea's banquet
starts tomorrow.
-
Sleep here tonight before
leaving for the sea tomorrow.
-
That was what I was thinking.
-
Your Fourth Brother had me make
two special jars of wine for him.
-
They're buried under
the tree by Jade Lake.
-
Dig them out before you leave
and deliver them to your Fourth Brother.
-
Remember, do not spill them
and do not drink them on the sly.
-
What wine is it that I am
not allowed to drink? How stingy.
-
The little wine you have here isn't
enough to fill up my small jade flask.
-
You really can't drink that wine.
-
If you want to drink some, you can
go to my Chunyang Cave tomorrow
-
and take as much as you can.
-
All right, I'll do as
you command, High God.
-
This small cottage has suffered
through all the elements
-
but it still remains standing strong
-
and is so clean and tidy.
-
Zhe Yan sure has devoted
his attention to it.
-
This would be perfect for digging up
those two peach blossom wines to drink.
-
This peach blossom wine
is for drinking on the sly.
-
The wine in the wine cellar of
your Chunyang Cave is for the taking.
-
Can't miss out on either.
-
Medical expertise?
Brewing wine is Zhe Yan's true expertise.
-
Your Highness.
-
Zhe Yan's Ten Mile Peach Tree Woods
is close by the Eastern Sea.
-
It is just ashore.
-
Father.
-
Is Ten Mile Peach Tree Woods
the residence of the mysterious high god
-
who has withdrawn from the three realms,
is uninvolved in worldly affairs
-
and has elegant tastes?
-
According to age, you should be
calling him your senior.
-
Are we going to visit an ancestor?
-
It's time for you to go to sleep.
-
Then return soon, Father.
-
If you gain the habit of not returning
to your chambers at night
-
Mother will be heartbroken.
-
A-Li, didn't I already tell you
-
- Mother won't be--
- I understand.
-
I will obey you on everything
except for this, Father.
-
I have a feeling Mother will return.
-
Take the young prince to his bed.
-
- Yes.
- Yes.
-
Go see if the water lily leaves
have all been arranged.
-
Aunt's eyes are weak. Do not allow
any glaring lights to shine through.
-
-Yes.
-Yes.
-
Sister.
-
What are you doing standing here?
-
I wanted to see Crown Prince.
-
Crown Prince? You know him?
-
A few days ago, I happened to save
the imperial great-grandson
-
and by chance, I met the Crown Prince.
-
Later on, I made a request
using this favor
-
and served His Highness
for ten days at his hut.
-
What an opportune incident.
-
Sister.
-
Could it be that
you like the Crown Prince?
-
Think about this carefully.
-
Xiwu Palace is not a place
normal people can stay in.
-
His main wife will be
Bai Qian of Qing Qiu.
-
His side consort, Su Jin
-
used to be a greatly favored
imperial consort of the Heavenly Lord.
-
With those two present, would there be
any place for you in Xiwu Palace?
-
The Crown Prince will be acceding
Heavenly Lord's position in the future.
-
How could he possibly have
only two women in his palace?
-
Besides, I just want to be able to
stay by the Crown Prince's side.
-
I'd be content just to be a maid.
-
Have you really made your mind?
-
I heard that a couple hundred years ago
during the Mermaid Clan's rebellion
-
Princess Lu Xiu of Chang Sea fell in love
at first sight with the Crown Prince.
-
However, she did not even get
a chance to get close to him.
-
Your looks are superior to Lu Xiu's.
-
Now you have even saved
the imperial great-grandson's life.
-
You will have an easier time
than she did.
-
Let me think about this.
-
I have an idea.
-
What is it?
-
After you perform a dance
during the banquet tomorrow
-
I will beseech the Crown Prince
to meet with you.
-
Tell him that I, your brother
-
am forcing you to marry
the second prince of the West Sea.
-
Make the second prince of
the West Sea sound like a hedonistic son
-
and tearfully lament to the Crown Prince.
-
You've saved the
imperial great-grandson's life.
-
I reckon the Crown Prince wouldn't stand
to see you coerced into marriage.
-
Be a maid first, and then later think
of a way to make him fall for you.
-
This is a gift.
Fresh peach blossom facial cream.
-
If you can capture
everybody's attention tomorrow
-
perhaps you will be able to succeed
and stay by the Crown Prince's side.
-
Thank you, Brother.
