My Lord.
Are you still looking for people
to buy porcelain plates?
Wrong.
Those who came today
are all on the list.
No.
It was my mistake.
She is a person,
not some cup or plate.
I shouldn't have compared her that way,
nor should I have decided on my own
to find someone to take her in.
This would only ease my mind
but ruin her life.
My Lord,
you've figured it out.
I think no man
is as good as her family.
Why not tell her the truth
and send her back to her grandparents?
Honey.
You've been acting strange
since you returned from Qingzhou.
If I weren't here,
what kind of life would you want?
Where are you going?
Nowhere.
Just had a bad dream
on the way back.
I dreamed I left,
leaving you
all alone.
Don't worry.
Dreams are the opposite of reality.
Besides,
if you leave me alone,
I won't be lonely.
I have so many businesses
waiting for me to manage.
With business,
you don't need anything else?
That scholar was right.
All those virtues and morals.
A self-sufficient woman like me
is the most admirable.
You're still thinking about him.
Do you regret
he didn't buy
your porcelain plate?
Oh, the porcelain plate.
This plate is still a bit plain.
Why don't you write a poem on it?
(Apricot)
(Appears in a flash)
Like this?
Honey, admit it.
You like this porcelain plate,
so you've been blocking my business.
Since you've left your mark on it,
why bother looking for another buyer?
Why not keep it
as decoration at home?
Let's keep it.
Finally, you admit it.
Where should we place it?
Anywhere is fine,
as long as it stays
in this home.
Miantang.
From now on, do whatever you want to do.
I won't stop you.
So, I can do anything I want?
Of course.
Speaking of which,
- Lord Huaiyang is about to marry Ms. Lian.
- This tea is good.
Exactly.
Ms. Lian's mourning period will end in a mouth.
There's going to be
a grand wedding in Zhenzhou.
For a wedding,
they'll need some expensive porcelain.
I wonder who'll get
that lucrative job.
In the past, it's always been Miss He
who sent porcelain to the Lord's mansion.
The Consort Dowager and the Lord
even know her.
I'd say
this business will go
to the He family.
Miss He, isn't it?
This tea is really good today.
Come on, drink up.
Did you see Miss He's face?
She's clearly devoted.
Delaying her marriage
to become a concubine of the Lord.
Doesn't Mr. He care?
Ladies,
watch your step.
Is something there?
With tongues so long,
don't trip over them.
Miss He.
How can you tolerate their words like that?
They're speaking the truth.
Pardon me,
but is it
worth hoping for?
When I was young,
he once saved me.
You're married.
You should understand.
When you love someone,
you want to be with him forever.
If we can be together,
I can be a concubine.
But still
Thank you for your help today, Mrs. Cui.
I'll take my leave now.
High-arched eyebrows,
peach-shaped eyes,
a straight nose,
and slightly upturned thin lips.
Perfect.
What are you mumbling about?
No matter what, you still can't draw well.
My Lord.
This is a portrait of you.
The one man out of ten thousand
whom Liu Miantang finally chose.
Do I look this bad in your drawing?
Face yourself.
You claimed
to secure a future for Liu Miantang
but wanted to place her
in your mansion as a concubine.
How ugly.
What are you doing?
Are you a child? How childish can you be?
Fine. I admit it.
I want to take her in.
I'll take responsibility.
Enough with your lies.
Deceiving everyone.
Talking about responsibility.
Such a big liar.
When I finish my wedding,
I will bring her to the mansion.
I will tell her the truth to make you mad.
What if that day never comes?
What if her memory suddenly returns?
The clot in her brain
is slowly dissolving.
Liu Miantang is not an ordinary woman.
If she finds out you're Lord Huaiyang,
she'll definitely
despise you even more.
I've made up my mind.
I'm already prepared.
(Qingzhou Guild Hall)
Miss Shi.
(Qingzhou Guild Hall)
Miss Shi, let's go.
Miss Shi.
Mr. Lu from Mount Yang
is waiting in the hall.
Let's hurry.
Miss.
Go chat with him.
Walk past the screen to see him,
and fill the teacups
on the table with tea.
That's how the meeting will be finalized.
Miss Shi.
You are from Mount Yang
You can call me by my courtesy name,
Ziyu.
Miss Shi, don't be nervous.
No need to worry about formalities.
I don't really want to drink tea.
If you're afraid of me,
we can chat across the screen.
When you return,
I will explain the reason
to your father.
I'm not afraid of you.
I just don't understand
how someone as cultured as you
could be called a bandit by others.
Among those who become outlaws,
some are reckless men,
while others are righteous.
We each have our own path,
temporarily confined to an ill-fitting cage.
All for the day
we can live as we wish.
It's getting late.
Miss Shi, you should
You should head back early.
Please take care of yourself
and drink more hot tea.
Thank you, Miss Shi.
Young Master.
Did it go well?
It went well.
As long as you marry into the Shi family,
we'll be one step closer
to our plan.
Yes.
One step closer to our goal.
But one step farther
from her.
The scissors are too heavy.
Your hand hasn't fully healed.
Let me do it.
Thank you, honey.
I have something
to tell you.
I also have something to tell you.
Then you go first.
What I'm about to say
might have something
to do with Lord Huaiyang.
What is it?
Is it about Lord Huaiyang
taking a concubine?
Did you
think of something
or hear something?
I've figured out
everything about this matter.
Well.
What do you think?
Lord Huaiyang
is just a philandering jerk.
If that's how you see it,
I have nothing to argue.
But dear, in this matter
Don't defend him anymore.
He Zhen is such a good woman
from a wealthy family.
She's so intelligent.
Why would she eagerly
want to become his concubine?
He Zhen said
Lord Huaiyang saved her
when she was young.
But they only met that one time.
They haven't spent
any time together since.
How could she know
what kind of person he truly is
or if he's worth entrusting to?
Besides,
I once saw him
by the riverbank.
That Lord, broad-shouldered and stout,
and of considerable age,
with a fierce look
in his eyes.
Dear,
what if he were
someone my age,
not broad-shouldered
and stout?
If he were of similar age
and quite handsome,
she'd have to be more cautious
to see if she were attracted
by his looks,
making her eager to become his concubine.
I'm just worried that Lord Huaiyang
isn't a decent man.
He may have deceived He Zhen,
leaving her with false hopes,
and ultimately ruining her life.
- Dear.
- It really makes me mad.
Who would want to be his concubine?
What bad luck.
What kind of world is this?
Some have too little;
and others too much.
If you ask me,
don't worry so much.
Just accept your fate,
inherit the old lord's
legacy of romance,
and take He Zhen in.
Is that your solution
to ease my worries?
When your wife
and concubines in the backyard
need one more person to play cards,
I will gladly join.
(Long and Enduring)
Cousin Lian.
(Zhen Nan Marquis' Manor)
Greetings, Cousin Quan.
Why are you here?
Today,
we got some fresh melons,
so I thought I'd bring some for Aunt.
I happened to run into you.
How thoughtful.
It's nothing.
Cousin Quan,
I recently heard
some gossip at a tea party.
Though I shouldn't
take a woman's words too seriously,
it does concern the Lord,
so I couldn't help
but feel a bit uneasy.
What is it?
They said
They said
that the Lord had found a beauty
in Lingquan Town
and wanted to take her as a concubine.
You're close to the Lord.
You must know about this, right?
Is that true?
Could it be that North Street?
What North Street?
It must be Miss He.
I'm just joking.
Cousin Lian.
Don't overthink it.
Focus on preparing for the wedding.
I understand now.
This is the prescription to North Street.
I had someone copy it for me.
I know that one in North Street.
It's just a tonic prescription.
Look closely.
Old ginger and hairy antler.
Golden-eyed grass.
These are for the Lord's wife and concubines.
That North Street enchantress
has bewitched Xingzhou so thoroughly.
If she has a child before you
No, no. I must find my sister.
Mother,
what good will it do to find Aunt?
Cousin Xingzhou won't listen to her.
Going to her
will only make him mad at me.
It won't help at all.
Then what do you suggest?
The wedding is imminent.
I will soon
be his princess.
Eventually, he will take concubines.
Why not act as the good person now,
help him,
and bring the woman he favors
into the mansion early?
But with her background,
how could she be brought into the mansion?
That woman is too lowly,
so she can't be brought in.
Otherwise, Cousin Xingzhou wouldn't have
placed her outside.
But Cousin Quan mentioned a lady,
He Zhen.
Though she comes from a merchant family,
her family works for the royal family.
They're acquainted with the capital ministers.
If we can ally
with such a woman,
wouldn't that be
even better for us?
That makes sense.
North Street might be favored,
but even if she has a child,
she'll never be listed
in Cui's genealogy,
at best having some security in old age.
But Miss He
is a true noblewoman,
from a respected and clean family.
If she gains the Lord's favor,
she will be our real rival.
We must act first
and win her over.
This is good.
Take it back to bring wealth and fortune.
Yes.
This one is good too.
This lake-green narcissus pear-shaped vase
is truly exquisite.
Miss He.
Do you think the Lord would like it?
About this,
it's not up to Miss He or us.
Ms. Lian is here today to choose
her wedding gifts.
Her thoughts
are the Lord's thoughts.
That's what truly matters.
Indeed.
Ms. Lian is here.
Please come inside.
How about that one?
Ms. Lian.
The rumors don't do you justice.
You're truly dignified and noble.
Ms. Lian?
This is the future Princess of Huaiyang.
- Shopkeeper.
- Yes.
Coming.
Are you He Zhen?
We met
at Lord Huaiyang's mansion before.
Do you remember?
This
Ms. Lian already knew you.
We once met when I
delivered porcelain to the Lord's mansion.
But we didn't speak.
Ms. Lian
is truly approachable.
The day she came for porcelain,
we hit it off right away.
She talked a lot,
and even let me choose porcelain
to send to Lian's mansion.
Really?
I was worried,
but when I arrived,
her family
was so polite.
Ms. Lian even said
She said
The Lord is always busy with official affairs
and is short of people
to serve him closely.
But how could a lord
be without concubines?
I hadn't found
a suitable candidate,
so I was always worried,
until that day
when I met you.
He Zhen.
I know,
whether in appearance or talent,
you are no less than any noblewoman.
So, I wonder if you'd like
to join the Lord's mansion
and keep me company.
Keep her company?
Ms. Lian
even wants to be close friends with her
and share her husband.
Share her husband?
Honey,
Lord Huaiyang is taking a concubine.
It's He Zhen.
What's the matter?
Block the sun.
Block the sun?
(Mansion of Lord Huaiyang)
Aunt, is this tea nice?
It is.
Xingzhou, why not join us for tea?
- Mother.
- Xingzhou.
No need.
Come with me.
Did you like the porcelain
from Lingquan Town?
My mourning period is nearly over.
Mother is looking
for a narrow-neck white-glazed vase
for offering flowers.
So, I accompanied her to the town for a walk.
We also saw your newly repaired canal.
The scenery by the East Bridge was beautiful.
Cousin Xingzhou.
Is there more?
I also made some new friends.
We hit it off right away,
so I invited them back home.
We have a tea party today.
I personally
made some tea snacks.
I'll ask Moru
to take some for you later.
A tea party is fine.
You're an official's daughter.
It's always good
to make friends
with like-minded people.
But don't be too affable.
No need to befriend
unrelated merchants' daughters.
Yes.
Cousin Xingzhou.
Mother has always taught me
to respect my husband.
I'm always thinking of you,
alone outside,
with no one to care for you.
I wanted to help,
but I couldn't go to the camp.
I wanted someone to look after you,
so I had a momentary lapse.
Please forgive me.
You did nothing wrong.
There's nothing to forgive.
Don't overthink it.
I have to go.
Enjoy your tea.
(Lian Mansion)
(Invitation)
This is an invitation from Ms. Lian,
inviting me here for a tea party.
Please inform her.
Ms. Lian has instructed
that no guests today.
Please go back.
This
(Invitation)
(Lian Mansion)
Let me.
Dear, have you heard?
Lord Huaiyang isn't marrying He Zhen.
Yes.
He Zhen has been abandoned.
He pursued her
but told Ms. Lian to refuse
to let her in.
He doesn't even bother explaining anything to her.
How condescending.
Ignoring others' happiness or sorrow.
Is it wrong to not take her?
If he loves her,
he wouldn't treat her as a concubine.
I went to see He Zhen.
She cried to me the whole time,
saying she'd been
ridiculed and looked down upon along the way.
Her heart is utterly broken.
It's better than prolonged suffering.
It's better to end it now.
She could have been a proper wife.
Why insist on being someone's concubine?
Isn't that Lord Huaiyang's concubine?
So what?
Even the Emperor has his limitations.
If it were me, I'd never accept it.
Right.
Dear,
let me ask you.
If Lord Huaiyang
respected you,
cherished you,
and didn't let anyone boss you around,
would you be willing?
If he truly respected and cherished me,
he wouldn't make me his concubine.
My mother left me a family motto.
Even in poverty, do not become a concubine;
Even in distress, do not become a second wife.
It seems to hold true after all.
What if Lord Huaiyang
were your heart's desire,
and you knew he had his reasons?
What then?
Then it would simply be a case of fate.
What's the matter, honey?
You seem down.
Suddenly, I feel
a bit dizzy
and a bit tired.
Are you hiding something from me?
- I
- Do you also want to take a concubine?
Just kidding.
Don't kid around.
Did she hit you?
What?
I couldn't sleep.
Honestly, tell me.
Out of all these paintings of you,
which one do you like the most?
If I were to tell her the truth,
she wouldn't accept it.
Why?
She said,
"Even in poverty, do not become a concubine;"
"Even in distress,
do not become a second wife."
Liu Miantang is quite interesting.
You're Lord Huaiyang.
Well.
So noble and dignified.
An ordinary merchant's daughter
isn't even fit to be your concubine.
What does she want?
Does she want to be your Princess?
Cui Jiu.
Cousin Lian's
mourning period will end
in less than half a month.
Of course.
I am Lord Huaiyang.
I was born to bring peace to the land.
I'm responsible
for my family and country.
What right do I have to talk about love?
I can't spend my life
with only her.
I won't promise her that.
In the end, this is just a game.
When the game's over,
who would take
the pieces away?
Glad that you can
think that way.
(Cui Residence)
Mrs. Cui!
Mrs. Cui!
Mrs. Cui!
Please save my lady!
What happened to her?
She has fallen gravely ill.
She can't eat
or see now.
I fear
I fear she won't last
more than a few days.
Why so severe so suddenly?
Did you get a doctor?
We've got several physicians,
but they all say it's a heartache.
She's taken calming medicines,
but none have worked.
The master said
you're close to her
and of similar age,
so he asked you to go and comfort her.
Perhaps
Perhaps it might cure her heartache.
We're just grasping at straws here.
- Bicao, go get Physician Zhao.
- Yes.
I'll pack up and go now.
Thank you, Mrs. Cui.
Miss He,
the key to your illness
lies in adjusting your mindset.
Why torture yourself
like this?
Your forehead is full
and shows signs of wealth.
Even if you can't be
Lord Huaiyang's concubine,
you will surely marry into a noble family.
Physician Zhao.
I don't think I've ever mentioned this to you.
How did you know?
I heard it.
From whom?
Do you have to ask?
Words spread.
Everyone knows about her foolish plan
to marry Lord Huaiyang.
Sister-in-law,
I can't be a noble's concubine.
That's my business.
No gossip is needed.
But you can't drag us down with you.
You've read a few books.
Does that make you think
you can marry the Lord?
Just stop talking.
Physician.
Please save my lady.
Alright.
Later,
I'll prescribe you some medicine.
Take it in three seven-day courses,
for a total of 21 days.
Remember.
During these three courses,
you must not leave the house.
You must not expose yourself to the wind.
Why is this prescription so unusual?
If Miss He
weren't critically ill,
I wouldn't dare
prescribe such a strange remedy.
This involves using poison to fight poison.
If she goes outside
or catches a breeze,
not only will the medicine be ineffective,
but it could lead to a fatal wind attack,
and she might die in the street at once.
But don't worry.
If you follow my instructions,
she'll surely be cured.
Thank you, Physician.
Honey?
Why do you look so down
after your trip?
Your face doesn't look good either.
I
I just went to the porcelain shop.
You asked me to inscribe something
on the porcelain.
I couldn't do that.
I don't want to write anymore.
I thought your handwriting was good,
so why let others profit from it?
Why did it become a burden for you?
From now on,
if you want to write or paint,
go ahead.
If not, just don't do it.
It's up to you.
Mr. Zhang,
you've ruined the foundation of our wall.
How can you just leave?
Come on.
I didn't damage it.
I was just fixing my courtyard.
It just so happens
that your wall wasn't stable enough,
and it
collapsed
on its own.
You've dug the cellar like this.
How's that fixing the courtyard?
What's wrong with digging a cellar
in my courtyard?
Mr. Zhang, you must be joking.
Why would anyone dig a cellar so close
to a neighbor's yard?
No wonder the wall collapsed.
Honey, you go inside. I'll handle this.
Your feng shui is bad, to begin with.
Don't blame others.
Bad feng shui?
Everyone on this street knows that.
Mr. Cui is useless,
so his wife has to take care of everything.
That's why the wall collapsed.
Don't talk nonsense.
You look quite lovely
when you're angry.
Why marry such a man
with your looks?
If I were your husband,
I'd treasure you every night.
- Wait here.
- You.
Honey.
Dear, go inside.
Go inside.
You!
Outrageous!
The master of the Cui family
is so pale and delicate.
Honey, don't stoop to their level.
You wait here.
Go inside.
Listen to me.
Everyone in Lingquan Town knows.
You
are the coward of North Street,
take your wife as a tiger,
bowing to her,
stupid and happy forever.
What a jerk in disguise.
What?
Such a young boy.
If you can't say anything, just listen.
If I
can dig
a cellar in your house today,
tomorrow I can dig under your walls.
What can you do about it?
Filthy scoundrel!
Street thug!
Do you believe I
What will you do?
Stupid and happy again?
I'll report you.
Report me?
See? See?
Your tree's leaves
are all falling into my yard,
making it messy and stinky.
I haven't reported you yet.
Your dirty clothes and socks smell so bad.
The stench drifts into our house.
Who has a smell?
Can't you just cover your nose?
You and your wife argue so loudly
that it makes our heads buzz.
That's your problem.
Your ears are too sensitive.
Cover your ears if it's so bad.
Why should I cover my ears for that?
- Your problem.
- Not mine.
It's your problem.
I'll report it.
Go ahead. Report me.
Come over here.
See if I'll report you.
I'm coming. So what?
- I'm coming.
- Come over.
- Come here.
- Come here.
Walk in here.
I'm not afraid of you.
Walk in here.
- Honey
- Fine.
I'm walking in.
- Walk in.
- What?
- I'll hit you!
- Let go!
Let go!
Let go!
Where did you get this filth?
- What?
- Get out! Out!
Still not leaving?
Honey.
Are you alright? Did you get hurt?
My arm is injured.
Does it hurt?
I didn't sleep well,
so I'm a bit dizzy.
But
let me tell you.
I didn't lose.
I know.
Neither did I.
