Today,
the kitchen has especially prepared
golden dates as snacks for all of you.
It takes more than ten stages
to make it.
You can say it was done meticulously.
Why don't all of you here try it?
Cheng Yang, try it first.
I suppose it's your first time trying it.
Help yourself.
Aren't these just golden dates?
How is this rare?
I once killed a leopard with a knife
and dissected it myself to make wine
from its bones for my father.
What about you?
I supposed you've never had
a taste of it before.
Wan Qiqi,
today is Princess Yuchang's birthday.
How can you talk
and behave like a savage?
At the imperial banquet,
Father presented the leopard-bone wine
to His Majesty.
His Majesty praised me
for being fierce like my father.
Why?
Are you trying to say
that His Majesty is a savage too?
I
This date is indeed tasty.
You've mistaken.
What you tried isn't a real date.
The golden date
was steamed and fried
with honey-coated butter noodles.
It looks like a date. But it's not.
His Majesty is trying
to propose frugality to the nation.
But look at you trying
to belittle others with extravagance.
Stop trying to bring His Majesty
in every subject.
You should look at what you're wearing.
That's true.
If you're considerate
of the people's sufferings,
why aren't you wearing rags
and farming in the fields?
I supposed
you're reluctant to part
from your wealth.
Qiqi has fought in battle
with General Wan for many years.
They had to compensate families
of fallen soldiers.
It's not easier than farming.
Who would spend time making a snack
that requires more than ten stages?
Besides,
the soldiers had to fight and kill
on the battlefield.
Yet, you eat and drink
to your heart's content in the capital.
Families of military officers
like us can't bear to live
a luxury life like this.
It doesn't matter
if we don't attend this banquet.
Also,
all the delicious food
and drinks on table
are blessed by heaven
and His Majesty's continuous hard work
for the country.
Not forgetting soldiers
who fought hard on the front lines.
You're enjoying such blessings.
Here you are ridiculing
the descendants of military officers.
Don't you feel ashamed at all?
Your Highness, General Ling has arrived.
Miss Shaoshang, you have such a temper.
We were just being amusing.
Don't make a fool of yourselves
in front of distinguished guests.
Do we have distinguished guests here?
You?
You?
Or are you the distinguished guest?
Wang Ling,
stop trying to scare others.
It's Zisheng.
Zisheng is here
to celebrate Princess Yuchang's birthday.
I've forgotten about it.
I think Miss Cheng Shaoshang
was confined in the village.
She wouldn't have had the chance
to meet Zisheng.
How about this?
If you're obedient today,
you might be able to have a glance.
Wang Ling,
can you see the obsession on your face?
You can meet him alone if you want to.
Why are you dragging Shaoshang in this?
I was wondering who that is.
It's only Zisheng.
I'll have to excuse myself, then.
Wang Ling,
Zisheng has admired me for a long time.
But I'm not interested in him.
It'll only make things awkward
to see him.
I shall take my leave, Your Highness.
You are
I'm someone who has been admiring you
for a long time.
Yet, you show no interest in me at all.
I'm Zisheng.
There you are, General Ling.
Have a seat.
(Ling Buyi?)
(So Ling Buyi is Zisheng.)
(I'm dead.)
Qiqi.
Cheng Yang.
Yangyang.
I think the golden date is bad.
I don't feel well.
My stomach hurts.
Hurry.
I'm thrilled
that you accepted my invitation
to attend my birthday banquet.
I already regretted coming.
I see Lord Ruyang's Mansion
doesn't welcome military officers.
You rode to wars
and rendered military achievements.
How am I not welcoming you
when I can't admire you enough.
Miss Cheng Shaoshang
was only joking just now.
If we really look down on
the new general,
I wouldn't have invited them.
But I don't see anyone
from the military families.
I really did invite them!
Shaoshang and Qiqi just left.
Zhaojun is not here yet
because she has another engagement.
General Ling, where are you going?
The banquet is about to start!
Young Master went
to meet military officers
who knew nothing about golden dates.
Wait.
Zisheng is Ling Buyi.
Ling Buyi is Zisheng?
You don't even know
what Zisheng looks like.
Why did you brag that he admires you?
I was only trying to agitate Wang Ling.
I didn't expect him to be there.
But why does General Ling seem
to know you very well?
Not at all.
Do you still remember
Granduncle being arrested?
When he was trying
to capture Granduncle,
I pointed him the way
through the curtain.
Who would have known that he repaid
my kindness with ingratitude?
He came to our residence
and told father a lot of things.
Do you know
Princess Yuchang likes Ling Buyi?
Do you know
about Princess Yuchang falling
into the water?
I know.
I went to join other spectators.
But I noticed Princess Yuchang
was pretending to drown
in shallow water
and let her evil servants stand
in the way.
So I kicked her servant into the water.
Who?
So her trick was exposed.
So you were behind that?
I heard
that Princess Yuchang tried
to lure Ling Buyi
by falling into the water.
I had no idea
you exposed her scheme with one kick.
When she returned home,
her eyes were red
like rotten peaches from crying.
Everyone in the capital looked
at her like a joke.
Qiqi,
this is a serious matter.
Don't ever tell anyone about this.
Don't let my mother know about this.
If she finds out, she'll skin me alive.
It's not a birthday banquet.
They obviously set up a trap for us.
It doesn't matter if we don't come.
I feel the same.
I hate mingling
with those pretentious aristocratic women.
I prefer those from the Cheng Family.
My father always talks about you.
You're completely different
from your mother,
who's rigid and conservative.
How tedious.
Do you and Mr. Wan
really think so?
Of course.
I do have
a feeling of regret
that I couldn't meet you earlier.
I think Qiqi has a good nature.
She's not what Song said
about trying to be the eldest
when she's the youngest.
Who tries to be the eldest?
I can't believe this Cheng Song.
He only knows how
to make up stories about me.
Where is he now?
I think Song is shooting arrows
with other young masters.
Come with me. I'm going to confront him.
Wait, Qiqi.
I won't be going.
You can go ahead first.
I'll look around.
Then you should be careful.
Those noble ladies appear weak.
But it's not easy to get along with them.
Yangyang, come with me, then.
Yangyang, come on.
This is upsetting.
I'm going to teach him a lesson.
I'm sorry, Song.
Slow down, Qiqi.
Prince Xiao, stop following me.
Zhaojun. Stop, Zhaojun.
Wait for me, Zhaojun.
Prince Xiao, stop it.
Zhaojun. Zhaojun.
Zhaojun.
Prince Xiao,
stop doing this.
What brings you
to Princess Yuchang's birthday banquet?
After spending time with you lately,
I feel we get along very well.
I have the intention of asking
the He Family for your hand in marriage.
But you kept avoiding me.
Did I do anything wrong
that made you dislike me?
We had only known each other
for several days.
Don't you think it's too quick
to propose?
Besides,
I'm already betrothed.
Do you mean
the lad from the Lou Family?
Didn't you say
he's dull and speaks monotonously to you?
But if I break the betrothal,
Yao will be a laughingstock.
You are thoughtful of him.
Yet, he doesn't know how to cherish you.
He always upsets you.
It breaks my heart to see you like this.
Isn't that Fourth Lady Cheng?
Why are you
dressing up like an old dame today?
It doesn't concern you.
Even nanny doesn't wear
these colors.
It doesn't concern your nanny.
My teacher had received
Madam Sang's letter.
What does this have to do
with your teacher
If you want to thank me, do it properly.
How can you say such infuriating words
when you see me?
Thank you, Miss.
My teacher was depressed
because he was troubled by this.
He feels so much better now.
I came especially to thank you.
What I said before still counts.
If you have any trouble in the future,
I'll lend you a hand.
All right.
I'll remember that.
But don't worry.
I won't ask you to rebel
or act in bad faith.
And I won't let you marry me.
Since it's settled,
we should bid farewell.
Who says I'm going to bid farewell?
You're really here.
Yao?
Yao.
Lou Yao.
Stop right there.
What are you planning to do?
I should be asking the same thing.
I've heard it loud and clear.
He plans to ask the He Family
for your hand.
Yes.
The Xiao Family has the intention.
But I haven't given my reply.
If you're willing to treat me better,
I'll ask father to turn them down.
After all, we were betrothed
since we were children.
I wouldn't want anyone to ridicule you.
You can just marry him.
I won't feel reluctant at all.
I tolerated you until this day
because the Lou Family honors
their promises.
Fine!
I don't care about it too.
We can just break it off.
I'll marry Prince Xiao as you wished.
He never upsets me the way you do.
He's considerate
and far much better than you!
Listen.
After we get married,
I'll move to Feng Yi County with him.
We'll travel to places
when we have time.
He had also built a villa in Shu.
He said he'll give it to me
in the future.
I don't know how happy I'd be with him.
Perhaps we may never see
each other again!
Fine, I'll take your word for it.
Fine!
Stop right there!
What are you looking at?
I'll gouge your eyes out!
Miss, I apologize on her behalf.
Don't take it to heart.
I'm not the only one here
Yuan Shanjian,
you're a scum.
Why didn't you drag me along
when you went and hid?
People of the opposite gender
shouldn't be intimate.
Moreover,
didn't you bid farewell just now?
I want you to know
that this matter
doesn't end here.
Do you know who those two are?
That young man is Lou Yao,
the youngest son of the second chamber
of the Lou Family from Hedong.
The young lady is He Zhaojun,
the daughter of Cavalry General He Yong.
They were betrothed
since they were children.
I don't want to know.
This doesn't concern me.
You're not a child anymore.
Not only do you have to study,
but you must also study
the ancestry of the aristocratic family
and sacrificial rites.
You should start studying these
as soon as possible.
I don't think you're good at anything
other than quarreling.
Does your mother have no plans for you?
Is it because she just returned
to the capital
that she didn't have time
to find a female teacher
for you and your sister?
I can recommend one or two teachers.
Go away.
If the Xiao and He Family
become in-laws.
Many people will get involved
in this case.
We must solve
this case quickly.
Find out
if any officials from Shu came
to the capital
in the past six months.
Are you suspecting
Prince Xiao is colluding with the Shu?
Previous batches of armaments
were transported to Shu.
Shu has surrendered for many years,
and there are no battles.
Why are they buying
so many military weapons?
I'm afraid Shu has second thoughts.
We must prepare
in advance.
Yuan Shen
isn't normal.
It's Cheng Yang's handkerchief.
(Help! Help!)
(Third Lady Cheng has fallen
into the water!)
(Help!)
(Third Lady Cheng has fallen
into the water!)
Help!
Help!
Cheng Yang!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Niaoniao!
Cheng Yang, come to me.
Cheng Yang.
Careful.
How did you fall into the water?
I knew you did this.
Only both of you would resort
to such lowly tricks.
Niaoniao,
don't be upset.
Lest you'll disgrace the family.
Disgrace?
Not only did you ruin
Her Highness's plan,
you deliberately seduced Zisheng.
No one in this world
would stoop lower than you.
Well, it's not surprising.
Your parents abandoned you
when you were a child.
Your Second Aunt never raised you well.
What do you know of frankness
or etiquette?
Such sinister and immoral conduct
can only be committed
by a vulgar, illiterate
who has no parents like you!
Cheng Shaoshang!
I'm going to beat you to death!
How dare you bully Cheng Yang?
Stop it!
This is for bullying Cheng Yang.
How dare you bully Cheng Yang!
Stop it!
Why you Cheng Shaoshang!
I'm going to beat you to death!
Stop fighting!
Stop it right now!
How dare you pinch me?
I'm going to pinch you!
Help! Let me go!
Cheng Shaoshang,
are you mad? How dare you hit me?
You vile savage!
Fight?
They actually had a fight.
This Fourth Lady Cheng
sure is
unexpected.
It hurts.
Look at your pitiful state.
Why did you have to resort to violence
because of a disagreement?
Whose unruly daughter is this?
Young Lady Wang is
our distinguished guest.
How could
a lady like you cause injury to others?
(Princess Consort Ruyang)
a lady like you cause injury to others?
(Princess Consort Ruyang)
They obviously hit her too.
You can't say Shaoshang was
the only one hitting them.
Your Highness, calm down.
Everyone is at fault
in this matter.
But no matter how upset we feel,
we must send for a physician
to check on the Young Lady
of the Wang Family.
It'll be too late to treat
if there's any disfigurement.
Shaoshang suffers such serious injuries.
Young Lady Wang,
how hard did you hit her?
You
I didn't hit her that hard.
She started it first.
She's a lunatic!
Do you have any evidence?
I
Yes,
I started it first.
When I passed by the garden,
I noticed
Cheng Yang who can't swim
was pushed into the lake.
They did that to lure me
and harm me.
They even called me
vulgar and illiterate,
who have no parents to teach me.
Even if I have no parents to teach me,
I'd never do anything
that disregards human life.
In that case,
today's incident is caused
by parents like us
who failed to teach our daughters well.
Ling always has a sharp tongue
but a soft heart.
She normally offends a lot of people.
Even if she said something wrong
She didn't say anything wrong.
Everything she said is
the truth.
I can't refute
this matter.
But she tried to harm my family
by pushing Cheng Yang into the water.
I can't forgive her for this.
You shouldn't hurt others by picking on
their shortcomings in a fight.
Do you think
Shaoshang doesn't read well
or behave properly
because she's lazy or foolish?
You knew you were right
but insisted on rubbing on her wounds.
Is this the upbringing
of an aristocratic family?
Today,
they even ridiculed the descendants
of the military families
for lacking knowledge.
But didn't they push Cheng Yang
into the water
despite her well-upbringing?
Yangyang, tell us. Did they
Yangyang,
can you speak yet?
Cheng Yang can't say a word.
See how pitiful Yangyang is.
So what?
The ladies are just playing around.
How can you resort to violence
because of a disagreement?
If Madam Wen Xiu pursues this matter,
can all of you bear the punishment?
That's right.
It's only a group
of ladies playing around.
But one mustn't hurt innocent lives.
If Your Highness wants
to resort to punishment,
you must punish both of them.
The person who started
the fight should be punished.
It was Young Lady Wang
who pushed Cheng Yang into the water.
They even tried to make me fall
into the lake
by tripping me
with a horse-tripping rope.
That's slander.
You can't accuse without any evidence.
General Ling has arrived!
Niaoniao.
Ladies,
my bodyguard
found this horse tripping rope
in the garden.
(Prince)
There's also a family emblem
at the end of the rope.
If Your Highness wishes
to learn to investigate cases,
you'll need evidence.
And this is
the evidence.
Zisheng, you're interesting.
Why did you pick up
a pile of rotten ropes?
I said it's a horse tripping rope.
If Marchioness Chengyang
doesn't believe me,
you can inspect Young Lady
of the Lou Family's hand.
Not only her scheme had failed,
but the horse tripping rope
caused abrasion to her hand.
It's
a stupid move.
Zisheng, that's harsh.
It's a family matter.
This matter concerns a person's life.
If Your Highness can't try this,
I can personally try this case
at the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.
Excuse me.
I've already said
that it's only
a group of ladies playing around.
Is it worth it for elders like us
to blow it out of proportion?
Even the Ministry of Justice
is brought up.
I think we should let this matter rest.
Yes.
Young Lady Wang's mother, Madam Wen Xiu,
isn't here today.
So naturally,
we'll let this matter rest.
Otherwise,
it wouldn't settle this easily.
What do you say, First Madam Cheng?
It hurts!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
It hurts.
Over here.
I can't believe that Young Lady Wang.
You brought gifts
for a birthday celebration.
I can't believe
they beat you up like this.
They're too arrogant.
No, they didn't do this to me.
If only you could see
what I did to Young Lady Wang.
That's what I call tragic.
Don't worry.
I did this to myself.
I know when to hold back.
You did this to yourself?
Young Lady,
look into the mirror.
How can you say you held back
when you're in this state?
You don't say.
The bruises look symmetrical.
Lianfang, don't worry.
It may look swollen now.
It'll reside after two days.
But it's different for Wang Ling.
I pinched her waist
with this miracle technique of mine.
I assure you she can't get up from bed
and couldn't sleep every night.
Young Lady,
Madam asked you to head
to Jiuzhui Hall for questioning.
Lianfang,
tell my brothers
to go to Jiuzhui Hall
to rescue me.
Yes, Young Lady.
Wait.
Open your eyes.
Wider.
Any tears?
That's it. Maintain it.
Tell them I won't survive long.
Go.
Keep it that way.
Father.
Mother.
Didn't you say it was just
a small fight?
How dare that lass
beat you to this state?
Child,
does it hurt?
Can you see me?
Father, don't worry.
I'm all right.
Greetings, Father.
It's all right.
Greetings, Mother.
Over here.
Greetings, Mother.
Enough.
Niaoniao is not the only one who's hurt.
General,
don't just be concerned
about your own child.
Are you saying other ladies
were beaten in this state too?
Fine.
They were hit somewhere else.
When young girls fight,
they can't inflict serious injuries
because they're delicate.
They can break a rib
or break a hand or leg.
The face is most important here.
Niaoniao has not been betrothed yet.
If she's disfigured,
I'm not going to settle with them!
Shaoshang,
answer me this.
Do you know what you did wrong today?
Why are you reprimanding her
when she was beaten like this?
I'm sorry.
All right.
Tell me what you did wrong.
From now on,
I'll never start a fight
no matter
who bullies Cheng Yang,
deliberately humiliates me,
or slanders the Cheng Family.
Father. Mother.
Even if
anyone wants to kill me,
I'll never hurt other people
in the future.
Niaoniao.
Niaoniao.
Don't you act defiantly out of spite.
Don't you have elders in the household?
If you're reasonable,
why didn't you talk to the elders
but started a fight instead?
I don't care if you're apologetic.
Tomorrow,
you must go to General Wang's residence
and apologize to Wang Ling.
I
I can't go.
Wang Ling
Wang Ling deserves to be hit.
That's bold of you.
I shall see
if you'll admit your mistakes today!
Guards!
- Mother!
- Mother, calm down!
What are you doing here?
What are you doing?
Mother,
Niaoniao has suffered
a lot of beatings today.
You can't punish her anymore.
He's right. You mustn't hit her.
She's already in a pitiful state.
Niaoniao is so pitiful.
What are you doing?
Get off me!
Move aside!
Get out, all of you!
Look how
you've upset your mother.
Why are you still here? Leave!
Are you waiting to be punished?
Go! Get out!
Go now!
Leave now!
You
Go! Go! Go!
I didn't say she could leave.
I'm not done with her yet.
Didn't you tell everyone to leave?
So I told them to leave.
Why are you still here, then?
I dare not leave.
If I leave, I won't be able to return.
It's all right.
We're almost there.
You can put me down now.
There's no one behind us. I'm fine.
All right, we're here.
Stop. Stop. I feel dizzy.
You don't have to worry.
I'm fine.
I'm not hurt at all.
I'm all right.
If Shaogong and I were there,
you and Yangyang wouldn't suffer
this much.
Song, don't say that.
If you didn't come in time,
I'd have to suffer from beatings again.
As long as you're home,
you won't be able to escape
from this beating.
When mother wants to punish anyone,
she always succeeds.
Niaoniao,
what are you planning to do now?
How about you do what I always do?
Run.
This is indeed a good idea.
Every time Shaogong left the house
and came home after hiding for a while,
mother would consider
the circumstances of the situation
if she was no longer upset.
It doesn't work every time.
It may only work two out of ten times.
That's better than waiting hopelessly
for punishment.
How about you go back
and ask for forgiveness?
Are you asking me to get some beatings?
I can never do such
a foolish thing in my life.
Niaoniao,
it's my fault.
If I wasn't careless,
I wouldn't fall into their trap
and wouldn't cause such a disaster.
Don't feel guilty about it.
Even if it's not for your sake,
I would find a chance
to teach them a lesson for my sake.
Besides,
you're someone who's well-behaved
in mother's eyes.
Even if you caused trouble,
it was beyond your control.
It's not the same for me.
Even if I caused trouble
by saving someone,
that's also intentional to her.
I've already decided.
Song's idea is good.
I'll run away now.
I won't cause trouble
for Mother again.
If you're leaving,
I'll go with you.
He's right.
If you want to go, we'll go together.
Please don't.
If you leave with me,
the three of us will be punished.
It's better I go alone.
Brothers.
Cheng Yang,
I'm leaving.
I'll go with you, Young Lady.
This is
(Marquis Quling's Residence)
Young Lady,
you're not wearing enough clothing.
How about you go back
and apologize to Madam?
It's better than freezing
to death out here.
It's also
my first time
It's my first time running away
from home.
I didn't know
it was so windy out here.
I'm still inexperienced.
I should have brought my fur coat!
Next time
Next time, I'll be well prepared.
Are you going to do this again?
Dear.
Dear, let me give you a rub.
This
All of you only care about Niaoniao.
Each of you tried to stop me
from punishing her.
Would I harm her?
Now you're trying
to get on my good side.
Niaoniao is a girl.
You can't hit her like you do a boy.
You used to say a girl
and boy are different.
A boy should cause trouble
while a girl should marry.
In that case,
the punishment shouldn't be the same.
Are you saying these
to clear Niaoniao's wrongdoings
for the rest of her life?
I think
Niaoniao did the right thing today.
It was the Wang Family's daughter
who played with people's lives.
Do you think I don't know that?
I was upset
that Niaoniao didn't consider
where we were at the moment.
That's Lord Ruyang's Mansion.
Lord Ruyang is His Majesty's uncle.
Lady Ruyang is known
to be unreasonable.
His Majesty still has qualms
and feels restrained
when meeting this couple.
Can't she just bear with it
and cause no trouble
for the Cheng Family?
How can she tolerate it?
They already pushed Yangyang
into the water.
You only see Niaoniao's shortcomings.
She's willing to protect Cheng Yang
from being bullied at a critical time.
If Niaoniao pretended not
to witness that,
that would be heartless.
The Cheng Family has always cared
about family relations.
I can see that brat possesses
as this character.
But she
But she shouldn't have started the fight
and let others use it against her.
All right.
Niaoniao has promised me
she won't fight with others anymore.
I never knew
I'd be worried
about my daughter getting into fights
in my life.
Fortunately,
General Ling handled this justly.
He came in time with evidence
to get us out of trouble.
Otherwise, I wouldn't know
how this matter would end up.
General Ling?
Do you mean Ling Buyi?
He was there too?
Where is Niaoniao?
I can't hear anything from her room.
I heard she left the house
with Lianfang to hide.
She can't do that.
It's very cold outside.
She's going to freeze.
I guess you're worried about Niaoniao.
I'm not worried about her.
She deserves to freeze out there.
Better yet, freeze her hand
so she can't hit anyone.
What were you thinking?
Why are you not properly dressed?
Is First Madam not willing
to give you any clothes?
If you want to live,
get in the carriage.
Young Lady,
we must not get on
another man's carriage.
It's in the middle of the night,
he may have bad intentions.
He doesn't have bad intentions.
He He's too sick
to think of anything.
Come on. Let's go.
Hurry.
Young Lady.
Your bitter tricks
seemed to be pretty self-defeating.
What do you mean by "bitter tricks?"
Mr. Yuan,
you can't accuse someone
without basis.
You don't have to pretend
in front of me.
I heard
Wang Ling didn't even attend
Princess Yuchang's
birthday banquet tonight.
It shows she didn't suffer
a light injury.
Help! Let me go!
But
you didn't have to hurt yourself
to go up against her.
So what?
I'm not scared of her anyway.
Worse comes to worst, I can just decline
all aristocratic family invitations.
My mother planned to invite you
To invite all ladies of other families
to enjoy viewing plum blossom.
View plum blossom?
Could it be that you see me
as a prospect?
This concerns one's marriage.
As a young lady,
can't you pretend to look shy?
Why would I feel shy
when I don't want to marry you?
Even if you wanted to,
I must be willing to marry you too.
My future bride will be the wife
of the Yuan Family's eldest son.
Of course,
she must be dignified, virtuous,
and compassionate to the weak and old.
Not to mention, handling rituals,
guests, and leading daughters-in-laws.
She mustn't be someone like you
who resort to violence
because of a disagreement.
Thank you for helping me.
You can take your time picking
your new bride.
Take your time.
We'll take our leave.
Wait.
This Ziyu Ointment we rarely use
at home.
No need to thank me.
I just think your injury
is unsightly.
Would this disfigure me?
Do you think I need
to disfigure someone who looks like you?
You should go home now.
Stop hanging around in my carriage.
It's very cold outside.
With this look of yours,
don't come out and scare other people.
Young Lady.
- Brothers?
- Luckily, you didn't wander far off.
Whose carriage is that?
Father wants you to come home.
He says Mother agreed
to punish you to write.
She won't pursue the rest.
Write?
I'd rather she beat me.
I know where to go now.
I'll ask Qiqi for help.
I'll go to Wan's Residence.
Brothers,
come and pick me up
after Mother is no longer angry.
Lianfang,
go back with them.
I'll go now.
I wonder what brings you
to my residence?
Do you really not know
why I came here today?
I think
I think you learned
that I like collecting treasures.
So you're here to appreciate them.
Well, that's easy.
General Ling,
you can pick any treasure you like
from my collection.
The map of Shu.
I wonder if you're willing
to give it to me.
What map?
Erotic paintings?
I had no idea that you're
I said, the map of Shu.
The map of Shu.
If you're here for this map,
there's nothing to be discussed anymore.
My first battle was in Shu.
If I had such a precious map,
I'd have presented it to His Majesty.
Is there a need for you to come
and inspect it if I had it?
Are you certain you don't have it?
Yes.
Are you not handing it over to me?
General Ling,
how can I hand it over to you
if I don't have it?

=Episode 8=
Today,
the kitchen has especially prepared
golden dates as snacks for all of you.
It takes more than ten stages
to make it.
You can say it was done meticulously.
Why don't all of you here try it?
Cheng Yang, try it first.
I suppose it's your first time trying it.
Help yourself.
Aren't these just golden dates?
How is this rare?
I once killed a leopard with a knife
and dissected it myself to make wine
from its bones for my father.
What about you?
I supposed you've never had
a taste of it before.
Wan Qiqi,
today is Princess Yuchang's birthday.
How can you talk
and behave like a savage?
At the imperial banquet,
Father presented the leopard-bone wine
to His Majesty.
His Majesty praised me
for being fierce like my father.
Why?
Are you trying to say
that His Majesty is a savage too?
I
This date is indeed tasty.
You've mistaken.
What you tried isn't a real date.
The golden date
was steamed and fried
with honey-coated butter noodles.
It looks like a date. But it's not.
His Majesty is trying
to propose frugality to the nation.
But look at you trying
to belittle others with extravagance.
Stop trying to bring His Majesty
in every subject.
You should look at what you're wearing.
That's true.
If you're considerate
of the people's sufferings,
why aren't you wearing rags
and farming in the fields?
I supposed
you're reluctant to part
from your wealth.
Qiqi has fought in battle
with General Wan for many years.
They had to compensate families
of fallen soldiers.
It's not easier than farming.
Who would spend time making a snack
that requires more than ten stages?
Besides,
the soldiers had to fight and kill
on the battlefield.
Yet, you eat and drink
to your heart's content in the capital.
Families of military officers
like us can't bear to live
a luxury life like this.
It doesn't matter
if we don't attend this banquet.
Also,
all the delicious food
and drinks on table
are blessed by heaven
and His Majesty's continuous hard work
for the country.
Not forgetting soldiers
who fought hard on the front lines.
You're enjoying such blessings.
Here you are ridiculing
the descendants of military officers.
Don't you feel ashamed at all?
Your Highness, General Ling has arrived.
Miss Shaoshang, you have such a temper.
We were just being amusing.
Don't make a fool of yourselves
in front of distinguished guests.
Do we have distinguished guests here?
You?
You?
Or are you the distinguished guest?
Wang Ling,
stop trying to scare others.
It's Zisheng.
Zisheng is here
to celebrate Princess Yuchang's birthday.
I've forgotten about it.
I think Miss Cheng Shaoshang
was confined in the village.
She wouldn't have had the chance
to meet Zisheng.
How about this?
If you're obedient today,
you might be able to have a glance.
Wang Ling,
can you see the obsession on your face?
You can meet him alone if you want to.
Why are you dragging Shaoshang in this?
I was wondering who that is.
It's only Zisheng.
I'll have to excuse myself, then.
Wang Ling,
Zisheng has admired me for a long time.
But I'm not interested in him.
It'll only make things awkward
to see him.
I shall take my leave, Your Highness.
You are
I'm someone who has been admiring you
for a long time.
Yet, you show no interest in me at all.
I'm Zisheng.
There you are, General Ling.
Have a seat.
(Ling Buyi?)
(So Ling Buyi is Zisheng.)
(I'm dead.)
Qiqi.
Cheng Yang.
Yangyang.
I think the golden date is bad.
I don't feel well.
My stomach hurts.
Hurry.
I'm thrilled
that you accepted my invitation
to attend my birthday banquet.
I already regretted coming.
I see Lord Ruyang's Mansion
doesn't welcome military officers.
You rode to wars
and rendered military achievements.
How am I not welcoming you
when I can't admire you enough.
Miss Cheng Shaoshang
was only joking just now.
If we really look down on
the new general,
I wouldn't have invited them.
But I don't see anyone
from the military families.
I really did invite them!
Shaoshang and Qiqi just left.
Zhaojun is not here yet
because she has another engagement.
General Ling, where are you going?
The banquet is about to start!
Young Master went
to meet military officers
who knew nothing about golden dates.
Wait.
Zisheng is Ling Buyi.
Ling Buyi is Zisheng?
You don't even know
what Zisheng looks like.
Why did you brag that he admires you?
I was only trying to agitate Wang Ling.
I didn't expect him to be there.
But why does General Ling seem
to know you very well?
Not at all.
Do you still remember
Granduncle being arrested?
When he was trying
to capture Granduncle,
I pointed him the way
through the curtain.
Who would have known that he repaid
my kindness with ingratitude?
He came to our residence
and told father a lot of things.
Do you know
Princess Yuchang likes Ling Buyi?
Do you know
about Princess Yuchang falling
into the water?
I know.
I went to join other spectators.
But I noticed Princess Yuchang
was pretending to drown
in shallow water
and let her evil servants stand
in the way.
So I kicked her servant into the water.
Who?
So her trick was exposed.
So you were behind that?
I heard
that Princess Yuchang tried
to lure Ling Buyi
by falling into the water.
I had no idea
you exposed her scheme with one kick.
When she returned home,
her eyes were red
like rotten peaches from crying.
Everyone in the capital looked
at her like a joke.
Qiqi,
this is a serious matter.
Don't ever tell anyone about this.
Don't let my mother know about this.
If she finds out, she'll skin me alive.
It's not a birthday banquet.
They obviously set up a trap for us.
It doesn't matter if we don't come.
I feel the same.
I hate mingling
with those pretentious aristocratic women.
I prefer those from the Cheng Family.
My father always talks about you.
You're completely different
from your mother,
who's rigid and conservative.
How tedious.
Do you and Mr. Wan
really think so?
Of course.
I do have
a feeling of regret
that I couldn't meet you earlier.
I think Qiqi has a good nature.
She's not what Song said
about trying to be the eldest
when she's the youngest.
Who tries to be the eldest?
I can't believe this Cheng Song.
He only knows how
to make up stories about me.
Where is he now?
I think Song is shooting arrows
with other young masters.
Come with me. I'm going to confront him.
Wait, Qiqi.
I won't be going.
You can go ahead first.
I'll look around.
Then you should be careful.
Those noble ladies appear weak.
But it's not easy to get along with them.
Yangyang, come with me, then.
Yangyang, come on.
This is upsetting.
I'm going to teach him a lesson.
I'm sorry, Song.
Slow down, Qiqi.
Prince Xiao, stop following me.
Zhaojun. Stop, Zhaojun.
Wait for me, Zhaojun.
Prince Xiao, stop it.
Zhaojun. Zhaojun.
Zhaojun.
Prince Xiao,
stop doing this.
What brings you
to Princess Yuchang's birthday banquet?
After spending time with you lately,
I feel we get along very well.
I have the intention of asking
the He Family for your hand in marriage.
But you kept avoiding me.
Did I do anything wrong
that made you dislike me?
We had only known each other
for several days.
Don't you think it's too quick
to propose?
Besides,
I'm already betrothed.
Do you mean
the lad from the Lou Family?
Didn't you say
he's dull and speaks monotonously to you?
But if I break the betrothal,
Yao will be a laughingstock.
You are thoughtful of him.
Yet, he doesn't know how to cherish you.
He always upsets you.
It breaks my heart to see you like this.
Isn't that Fourth Lady Cheng?
Why are you
dressing up like an old dame today?
It doesn't concern you.
Even nanny doesn't wear
these colors.
It doesn't concern your nanny.
My teacher had received
Madam Sang's letter.
What does this have to do
with your teacher
If you want to thank me, do it properly.
How can you say such infuriating words
when you see me?
Thank you, Miss.
My teacher was depressed
because he was troubled by this.
He feels so much better now.
I came especially to thank you.
What I said before still counts.
If you have any trouble in the future,
I'll lend you a hand.
All right.
I'll remember that.
But don't worry.
I won't ask you to rebel
or act in bad faith.
And I won't let you marry me.
Since it's settled,
we should bid farewell.
Who says I'm going to bid farewell?
You're really here.
Yao?
Yao.
Lou Yao.
Stop right there.
What are you planning to do?
I should be asking the same thing.
I've heard it loud and clear.
He plans to ask the He Family
for your hand.
Yes.
The Xiao Family has the intention.
But I haven't given my reply.
If you're willing to treat me better,
I'll ask father to turn them down.
After all, we were betrothed
since we were children.
I wouldn't want anyone to ridicule you.
You can just marry him.
I won't feel reluctant at all.
I tolerated you until this day
because the Lou Family honors
their promises.
Fine!
I don't care about it too.
We can just break it off.
I'll marry Prince Xiao as you wished.
He never upsets me the way you do.
He's considerate
and far much better than you!
Listen.
After we get married,
I'll move to Feng Yi County with him.
We'll travel to places
when we have time.
He had also built a villa in Shu.
He said he'll give it to me
in the future.
I don't know how happy I'd be with him.
Perhaps we may never see
each other again!
Fine, I'll take your word for it.
Fine!
Stop right there!
What are you looking at?
I'll gouge your eyes out!
Miss, I apologize on her behalf.
Don't take it to heart.
I'm not the only one here
Yuan Shanjian,
you're a scum.
Why didn't you drag me along
when you went and hid?
People of the opposite gender
shouldn't be intimate.
Moreover,
didn't you bid farewell just now?
I want you to know
that this matter
doesn't end here.
Do you know who those two are?
That young man is Lou Yao,
the youngest son of the second chamber
of the Lou Family from Hedong.
The young lady is He Zhaojun,
the daughter of Cavalry General He Yong.
They were betrothed
since they were children.
I don't want to know.
This doesn't concern me.
You're not a child anymore.
Not only do you have to study,
but you must also study
the ancestry of the aristocratic family
and sacrificial rites.
You should start studying these
as soon as possible.
I don't think you're good at anything
other than quarreling.
Does your mother have no plans for you?
Is it because she just returned
to the capital
that she didn't have time
to find a female teacher
for you and your sister?
I can recommend one or two teachers.
Go away.
If the Xiao and He Family
become in-laws.
Many people will get involved
in this case.
We must solve
this case quickly.
Find out
if any officials from Shu came
to the capital
in the past six months.
Are you suspecting
Prince Xiao is colluding with the Shu?
Previous batches of armaments
were transported to Shu.
Shu has surrendered for many years,
and there are no battles.
Why are they buying
so many military weapons?
I'm afraid Shu has second thoughts.
We must prepare
in advance.
Yuan Shen
isn't normal.
It's Cheng Yang's handkerchief.
(Help! Help!)
(Third Lady Cheng has fallen
into the water!)
(Help!)
(Third Lady Cheng has fallen
into the water!)
Help!
Help!
Cheng Yang!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Niaoniao!
Cheng Yang, come to me.
Cheng Yang.
Careful.
How did you fall into the water?
I knew you did this.
Only both of you would resort
to such lowly tricks.
Niaoniao,
don't be upset.
Lest you'll disgrace the family.
Disgrace?
Not only did you ruin
Her Highness's plan,
you deliberately seduced Zisheng.
No one in this world
would stoop lower than you.
Well, it's not surprising.
Your parents abandoned you
when you were a child.
Your Second Aunt never raised you well.
What do you know of frankness
or etiquette?
Such sinister and immoral conduct
can only be committed
by a vulgar, illiterate
who has no parents like you!
Cheng Shaoshang!
I'm going to beat you to death!
How dare you bully Cheng Yang?
Stop it!
This is for bullying Cheng Yang.
How dare you bully Cheng Yang!
Stop it!
Why you Cheng Shaoshang!
I'm going to beat you to death!
Stop fighting!
Stop it right now!
How dare you pinch me?
I'm going to pinch you!
Help! Let me go!
Cheng Shaoshang,
are you mad? How dare you hit me?
You vile savage!
Fight?
They actually had a fight.
This Fourth Lady Cheng
sure is
unexpected.
It hurts.
Look at your pitiful state.
Why did you have to resort to violence
because of a disagreement?
Whose unruly daughter is this?
Young Lady Wang is
our distinguished guest.
How could
a lady like you cause injury to others?
(Princess Consort Ruyang)
a lady like you cause injury to others?
(Princess Consort Ruyang)
They obviously hit her too.
You can't say Shaoshang was
the only one hitting them.
Your Highness, calm down.
Everyone is at fault
in this matter.
But no matter how upset we feel,
we must send for a physician
to check on the Young Lady
of the Wang Family.
It'll be too late to treat
if there's any disfigurement.
Shaoshang suffers such serious injuries.
Young Lady Wang,
how hard did you hit her?
You
I didn't hit her that hard.
She started it first.
She's a lunatic!
Do you have any evidence?
I
Yes,
I started it first.
When I passed by the garden,
I noticed
Cheng Yang who can't swim
was pushed into the lake.
They did that to lure me
and harm me.
They even called me
vulgar and illiterate,
who have no parents to teach me.
Even if I have no parents to teach me,
I'd never do anything
that disregards human life.
In that case,
today's incident is caused
by parents like us
who failed to teach our daughters well.
Ling always has a sharp tongue
but a soft heart.
She normally offends a lot of people.
Even if she said something wrong
She didn't say anything wrong.
Everything she said is
the truth.
I can't refute
this matter.
But she tried to harm my family
by pushing Cheng Yang into the water.
I can't forgive her for this.
You shouldn't hurt others by picking on
their shortcomings in a fight.
Do you think
Shaoshang doesn't read well
or behave properly
because she's lazy or foolish?
You knew you were right
but insisted on rubbing on her wounds.
Is this the upbringing
of an aristocratic family?
Today,
they even ridiculed the descendants
of the military families
for lacking knowledge.
But didn't they push Cheng Yang
into the water
despite her well-upbringing?
Yangyang, tell us. Did they
Yangyang,
can you speak yet?
Cheng Yang can't say a word.
See how pitiful Yangyang is.
So what?
The ladies are just playing around.
How can you resort to violence
because of a disagreement?
If Madam Wen Xiu pursues this matter,
can all of you bear the punishment?
That's right.
It's only a group
of ladies playing around.
But one mustn't hurt innocent lives.
If Your Highness wants
to resort to punishment,
you must punish both of them.
The person who started
the fight should be punished.
It was Young Lady Wang
who pushed Cheng Yang into the water.
They even tried to make me fall
into the lake
by tripping me
with a horse-tripping rope.
That's slander.
You can't accuse without any evidence.
General Ling has arrived!
Niaoniao.
Ladies,
my bodyguard
found this horse tripping rope
in the garden.
(Prince)
There's also a family emblem
at the end of the rope.
If Your Highness wishes
to learn to investigate cases,
you'll need evidence.
And this is
the evidence.
Zisheng, you're interesting.
Why did you pick up
a pile of rotten ropes?
I said it's a horse tripping rope.
If Marchioness Chengyang
doesn't believe me,
you can inspect Young Lady
of the Lou Family's hand.
Not only her scheme had failed,
but the horse tripping rope
caused abrasion to her hand.
It's
a stupid move.
Zisheng, that's harsh.
It's a family matter.
This matter concerns a person's life.
If Your Highness can't try this,
I can personally try this case
at the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.
Excuse me.
I've already said
that it's only
a group of ladies playing around.
Is it worth it for elders like us
to blow it out of proportion?
Even the Ministry of Justice
is brought up.
I think we should let this matter rest.
Yes.
Young Lady Wang's mother, Madam Wen Xiu,
isn't here today.
So naturally,
we'll let this matter rest.
Otherwise,
it wouldn't settle this easily.
What do you say, First Madam Cheng?
It hurts!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
Niaoniao!
It hurts.
Over here.
I can't believe that Young Lady Wang.
You brought gifts
for a birthday celebration.
I can't believe
they beat you up like this.
They're too arrogant.
No, they didn't do this to me.
If only you could see
what I did to Young Lady Wang.
That's what I call tragic.
Don't worry.
I did this to myself.
I know when to hold back.
You did this to yourself?
Young Lady,
look into the mirror.
How can you say you held back
when you're in this state?
You don't say.
The bruises look symmetrical.
Lianfang, don't worry.
It may look swollen now.
It'll reside after two days.
But it's different for Wang Ling.
I pinched her waist
with this miracle technique of mine.
I assure you she can't get up from bed
and couldn't sleep every night.
Young Lady,
Madam asked you to head
to Jiuzhui Hall for questioning.
Lianfang,
tell my brothers
to go to Jiuzhui Hall
to rescue me.
Yes, Young Lady.
Wait.
Open your eyes.
Wider.
Any tears?
That's it. Maintain it.
Tell them I won't survive long.
Go.
Keep it that way.
Father.
Mother.
Didn't you say it was just
a small fight?
How dare that lass
beat you to this state?
Child,
does it hurt?
Can you see me?
Father, don't worry.
I'm all right.
Greetings, Father.
It's all right.
Greetings, Mother.
Over here.
Greetings, Mother.
Enough.
Niaoniao is not the only one who's hurt.
General,
don't just be concerned
about your own child.
Are you saying other ladies
were beaten in this state too?
Fine.
They were hit somewhere else.
When young girls fight,
they can't inflict serious injuries
because they're delicate.
They can break a rib
or break a hand or leg.
The face is most important here.
Niaoniao has not been betrothed yet.
If she's disfigured,
I'm not going to settle with them!
Shaoshang,
answer me this.
Do you know what you did wrong today?
Why are you reprimanding her
when she was beaten like this?
I'm sorry.
All right.
Tell me what you did wrong.
From now on,
I'll never start a fight
no matter
who bullies Cheng Yang,
deliberately humiliates me,
or slanders the Cheng Family.
Father. Mother.
Even if
anyone wants to kill me,
I'll never hurt other people
in the future.
Niaoniao.
Niaoniao.
Don't you act defiantly out of spite.
Don't you have elders in the household?
If you're reasonable,
why didn't you talk to the elders
but started a fight instead?
I don't care if you're apologetic.
Tomorrow,
you must go to General Wang's residence
and apologize to Wang Ling.
I
I can't go.
Wang Ling
Wang Ling deserves to be hit.
That's bold of you.
I shall see
if you'll admit your mistakes today!
Guards!
- Mother!
- Mother, calm down!
What are you doing here?
What are you doing?
Mother,
Niaoniao has suffered
a lot of beatings today.
You can't punish her anymore.
He's right. You mustn't hit her.
She's already in a pitiful state.
Niaoniao is so pitiful.
What are you doing?
Get off me!
Move aside!
Get out, all of you!
Look how
you've upset your mother.
Why are you still here? Leave!
Are you waiting to be punished?
Go! Get out!
Go now!
Leave now!
You
Go! Go! Go!
I didn't say she could leave.
I'm not done with her yet.
Didn't you tell everyone to leave?
So I told them to leave.
Why are you still here, then?
I dare not leave.
If I leave, I won't be able to return.
It's all right.
We're almost there.
You can put me down now.
There's no one behind us. I'm fine.
All right, we're here.
Stop. Stop. I feel dizzy.
You don't have to worry.
I'm fine.
I'm not hurt at all.
I'm all right.
If Shaogong and I were there,
you and Yangyang wouldn't suffer
this much.
Song, don't say that.
If you didn't come in time,
I'd have to suffer from beatings again.
As long as you're home,
you won't be able to escape
from this beating.
When mother wants to punish anyone,
she always succeeds.
Niaoniao,
what are you planning to do now?
How about you do what I always do?
Run.
This is indeed a good idea.
Every time Shaogong left the house
and came home after hiding for a while,
mother would consider
the circumstances of the situation
if she was no longer upset.
It doesn't work every time.
It may only work two out of ten times.
That's better than waiting hopelessly
for punishment.
How about you go back
and ask for forgiveness?
Are you asking me to get some beatings?
I can never do such
a foolish thing in my life.
Niaoniao,
it's my fault.
If I wasn't careless,
I wouldn't fall into their trap
and wouldn't cause such a disaster.
Don't feel guilty about it.
Even if it's not for your sake,
I would find a chance
to teach them a lesson for my sake.
Besides,
you're someone who's well-behaved
in mother's eyes.
Even if you caused trouble,
it was beyond your control.
It's not the same for me.
Even if I caused trouble
by saving someone,
that's also intentional to her.
I've already decided.
Song's idea is good.
I'll run away now.
I won't cause trouble
for Mother again.
If you're leaving,
I'll go with you.
He's right.
If you want to go, we'll go together.
Please don't.
If you leave with me,
the three of us will be punished.
It's better I go alone.
Brothers.
Cheng Yang,
I'm leaving.
I'll go with you, Young Lady.
This is
(Marquis Quling's Residence)
Young Lady,
you're not wearing enough clothing.
How about you go back
and apologize to Madam?
It's better than freezing
to death out here.
It's also
my first time
It's my first time running away
from home.
I didn't know
it was so windy out here.
I'm still inexperienced.
I should have brought my fur coat!
Next time
Next time, I'll be well prepared.
Are you going to do this again?
Dear.
Dear, let me give you a rub.
This
All of you only care about Niaoniao.
Each of you tried to stop me
from punishing her.
Would I harm her?
Now you're trying
to get on my good side.
Niaoniao is a girl.
You can't hit her like you do a boy.
You used to say a girl
and boy are different.
A boy should cause trouble
while a girl should marry.
In that case,
the punishment shouldn't be the same.
Are you saying these
to clear Niaoniao's wrongdoings
for the rest of her life?
I think
Niaoniao did the right thing today.
It was the Wang Family's daughter
who played with people's lives.
Do you think I don't know that?
I was upset
that Niaoniao didn't consider
where we were at the moment.
That's Lord Ruyang's Mansion.
Lord Ruyang is His Majesty's uncle.
Lady Ruyang is known
to be unreasonable.
His Majesty still has qualms
and feels restrained
when meeting this couple.
Can't she just bear with it
and cause no trouble
for the Cheng Family?
How can she tolerate it?
They already pushed Yangyang
into the water.
You only see Niaoniao's shortcomings.
She's willing to protect Cheng Yang
from being bullied at a critical time.
If Niaoniao pretended not
to witness that,
that would be heartless.
The Cheng Family has always cared
about family relations.
I can see that brat possesses
as this character.
But she
But she shouldn't have started the fight
and let others use it against her.
All right.
Niaoniao has promised me
she won't fight with others anymore.
I never knew
I'd be worried
about my daughter getting into fights
in my life.
Fortunately,
General Ling handled this justly.
He came in time with evidence
to get us out of trouble.
Otherwise, I wouldn't know
how this matter would end up.
General Ling?
Do you mean Ling Buyi?
He was there too?
Where is Niaoniao?
I can't hear anything from her room.
I heard she left the house
with Lianfang to hide.
She can't do that.
It's very cold outside.
She's going to freeze.
I guess you're worried about Niaoniao.
I'm not worried about her.
She deserves to freeze out there.
Better yet, freeze her hand
so she can't hit anyone.
What were you thinking?
Why are you not properly dressed?
Is First Madam not willing
to give you any clothes?
If you want to live,
get in the carriage.
Young Lady,
we must not get on
another man's carriage.
It's in the middle of the night,
he may have bad intentions.
He doesn't have bad intentions.
He He's too sick
to think of anything.
Come on. Let's go.
Hurry.
Young Lady.
Your bitter tricks
seemed to be pretty self-defeating.
What do you mean by "bitter tricks?"
Mr. Yuan,
you can't accuse someone
without basis.
You don't have to pretend
in front of me.
I heard
Wang Ling didn't even attend
Princess Yuchang's
birthday banquet tonight.
It shows she didn't suffer
a light injury.
Help! Let me go!
But
you didn't have to hurt yourself
to go up against her.
So what?
I'm not scared of her anyway.
Worse comes to worst, I can just decline
all aristocratic family invitations.
My mother planned to invite you
To invite all ladies of other families
to enjoy viewing plum blossom.
View plum blossom?
Could it be that you see me
as a prospect?
This concerns one's marriage.
As a young lady,
can't you pretend to look shy?
Why would I feel shy
when I don't want to marry you?
Even if you wanted to,
I must be willing to marry you too.
My future bride will be the wife
of the Yuan Family's eldest son.
Of course,
she must be dignified, virtuous,
and compassionate to the weak and old.
Not to mention, handling rituals,
guests, and leading daughters-in-laws.
She mustn't be someone like you
who resort to violence
because of a disagreement.
Thank you for helping me.
You can take your time picking
your new bride.
Take your time.
We'll take our leave.
Wait.
This Ziyu Ointment we rarely use
at home.
No need to thank me.
I just think your injury
is unsightly.
Would this disfigure me?
Do you think I need
to disfigure someone who looks like you?
You should go home now.
Stop hanging around in my carriage.
It's very cold outside.
With this look of yours,
don't come out and scare other people.
Young Lady.
- Brothers?
- Luckily, you didn't wander far off.
Whose carriage is that?
Father wants you to come home.
He says Mother agreed
to punish you to write.
She won't pursue the rest.
Write?
I'd rather she beat me.
I know where to go now.
I'll ask Qiqi for help.
I'll go to Wan's Residence.
Brothers,
come and pick me up
after Mother is no longer angry.
Lianfang,
go back with them.
I'll go now.
I wonder what brings you
to my residence?
Do you really not know
why I came here today?
I think
I think you learned
that I like collecting treasures.
So you're here to appreciate them.
Well, that's easy.
General Ling,
you can pick any treasure you like
from my collection.
The map of Shu.
I wonder if you're willing
to give it to me.
What map?
Erotic paintings?
I had no idea that you're
I said, the map of Shu.
The map of Shu.
If you're here for this map,
there's nothing to be discussed anymore.
My first battle was in Shu.
If I had such a precious map,
I'd have presented it to His Majesty.
Is there a need for you to come
and inspect it if I had it?
Are you certain you don't have it?
Yes.
Are you not handing it over to me?
General Ling,
how can I hand it over to you
if I don't have it?
