GODS OF HONOUR
In the last episode, Huang Yan dreamt that Yang Jian...
had been made a celestial general with a celestial dog in tow.
On the other hand, Yang Jian also misses his wife.
Will you stop mumbling to yourself?
We should have asked that shorty to keep you on the front line.
Otherwise, you should switch jobs and become a priest instead.
You're not married. You don't know what it's like to miss a person.
If I don't make my mark here I can't go back and see my wife.
You're my friends. But you won't even say a few words of comfort.
- Poor me! - You're so mushy!
Will you stop hovering around me? Fly to someone else.
I'm small fry here. It won't do you good to follow me
Time to enjoy some bitter gourd soup!
You're pulling long faces because you'll be having bitter gourd soup.
Will you stop upsetting us further?
If we don't go out and fight any war, we won't make our mark.
If this goes on, I won't be able to see my wife.
Stop brooding Isn't this a wonderful situation?
Wonderful? What's so wonderful about it?
Think about it. Isn't Jizhou a good place for you?
What's so good about it?
It's here in Jizhou that, the three of you are reunited.
Flying Boy has been promoted to platoon leader.
And you two were given a triple promotion in less than one month.
You're exaggerating.
I'm not. You were watchmen. But now you're full-fledged soldier.
Below you are those who do miscellaneous chores and...
those carrying torches.
That makes some sense.
Attention! We'll be fighting bandits.
Get ready for action!
Who are you?
We're generals under Su Hu. She's General Deng.
We've been given orders to subdue you!
Feed an army for 1000 days to prepare them for one day of action!
Why are you getting in my way?
Stick with me! Don't get killed!
I'll make good soup!
I want to perform well so I may return to my wife!
Go behind me! No fear. I'm with you
General, it's time for us to get into action.
Have we won yet? , After them!
We'd better not.
Are you the general? After them!
This is dangerous.
The bandits are nowhere around.
Just forget it. Let's go back.
General, we don't see the bandits. Let's go.
I hear a dog's barks. Could the bandits be hiding over there?
I doubt it. The dog's barks are unusual. Don't give chase.
To think you'd be scared of a dog. Go!
I don't think we should.
- Go! - Mother, hurry!
Wait for me, Three-Eyed Boy!
You were right! It's not an ordinary dog!
No ordinary dog!
You were right!
Stop!
Stop running. If you start running, it'll come after you.
Three-Eyed Boy, stay still!,
It's not me. It's just that my legs are moving on their own.
Flying Boy, take Nezha with you.
Three-Eyed Boy, you'll burrow underground with the generals.
Run!
So the Celestial Dog is actually right here
What is that?
It's one of the Four Divine Creatures.
They're the Celestial Dog, Five Colours Bull,
the Elephant and the Fire Divine Bird.
Were you listening to me?
Were you?
Stay away from that mountain. It's full of perils.
Mother, do you notice the butterfly? It's a little strange.
It's shedding tears!
Butterflies don't cry.
I'm not having you on. I really saw it cry.
Tears are flowing from the corners of its eyes.
Each time I came back from a war I'd find it shedding tears.
I wonder if Goddess Nuwa has sent it here to watch over me.
Why don't you ask the butterfly?
Butterfly, come here.
Are you sent by Goddess Nuwa?
Speak or I'll burn you.
Are you going to tell me? No? Fine, I'll burn you.
Don't! Are you nuts? How could a butterfly talk?
To think you want to burn it.
This butterfly has followed me all the way from Xiqi.
Would I bear to burn it? I was only joking.
Go on, fly away.
According to the palace rules,
Daji has to prepare herself for 3 days before seeing the king
His Majesty is getting impatient from the wait
So he keeps himself occupied in merry-making.
Being new to the palace, Daji finds everything a novelty.
She's a great beauty indeed.
Every smile and gesture she makes would move hearts.
And when she plays with her pet dog,
the beauty that comes through her leaves everyone spellbound.
And this was her most charming moment.
How awful!
Your Majesty, it's me you're looking at. Of course it's awful.
But Lady Su looked as beautiful as a fairy when she did that action.
I can't wait any longer! I must get her to show it to me.
Your Majesty, the 3 days aren't over yet.
You can only see her after tonight.
Some silly rule that is!
Was she really that beautiful?
She's as beautiful as a fairy.
I must give her actions a name befitting her rare beauty.
Your Majesty, why don't you call her Jumping Beauty?
That's so common! Why don't call you the Jumping Subject instead?
Lady Su is the epitome of beauty.
Only she can win my favour and heart.
- My beloved concubine. - Yes.
You're the most learned among the imperial ladies.
Help me come up with a name.
What about "Flowers bloom when she looks back"?
Excellent! Excellent!
It's simply wonderful!
What's a dog doing here?
Your Ladyship, this dog belongs to Lady Su.
I see.
Just close the door and you'll be able to catch it.
Yes, Your Ladyship.
Little Oddball!
- Little Oddball! Come here. - Come here.
Your Ladyship, it's Lady Su's dog after all.
It's not very nice to beat it.
What do you mean? How you treat a dog depends on who its owner is.
It's owner is no one of consequence. Get lost.
Little Oddball! Little Oddball, where are you?
Open the door.
Little Oddball!
Why did you run to Sister's room?
I just found Little Oddball here too.
I must say it's as adorable as you are.
Sister, are you all right?
Naughty! How could you bite Sister!
- I'm sorry. - It's alright.
Little Oddball, Sister is good to you. How could you bite her!
Don't worry about it A beast can't tell right from wrong anyway.
It's usually very docile It's not it's usual self today
Sorry Sister. Don't let me hold you up. I'll be going.
See you
Our country is in imminent danger. What's stopping you?
Your Excellency, before we establish the truth,
I think we should act with caution.
I'm very certain Sui Daji is a woman who will bring the country troubles.
My divination also confirms Su Daji is a jinx.
We can't keep that woman in the palace.
Please seek an audience with His Majesty.
Father, I escorted the two ladies to the palace.
I was also Su Daji's music teacher.
I found her to be a naive girl. She wasn't in the least power-hungry.
What do you know?
You used to be a man who would speak your mind to His Majesty.
Have you lost all! your sense of righteousness?
Aren't you being a coward here?
Indeed. A coward is no true man. You should go and see His Majesty.
West Marquis was right. Go and see His Majesty.
Every official is given a death arrow, right?
You'll just lose your life at the most.
Pipa, you were wrong to say that.
You're literally sending Jing-er to his doom
Mother, which man doesn't want to play the hero?
So what if he ends up losing his life?
We, the women folk, are the real victims.
I forgot to buy the cloth!
Your brother is in trouble. This is no time to doll yourself up.
I was talking about flax.
His Majesty may just sentence him to death.
We'll be in mourning then.
Mother, you'll be attending the funeral of your son.
Touch wood!
Pipa, pardon my bluntness. We, men...
You're a man, eh? I had to fight on the battlefield for you.
If it weren't for me, would you be reinstated so soon?
I'm afraid you'd still be guarding the post under the hot sun!
Jing-er, your home is here in Chaoge.
You have an elderly mother and a wife.
If His Excellency gets into trouble, he can go back to Xiqi
But we have nowhere to flee to.
A cat has nine lives.
But at the rate you're going, not even nine lives can save you.
Since you have your difficulties, I shan't force you.
I still have to call the other officials. I'll take my leave.
- Your Excellency! - Hold it there!
Good thing I came back in time to come to your rescue again.
Your Majesty, I did a divination on Su Daji's life.
She will be the downfall of the Shang Dynasty.
I beseech Your Majesty to let her leave the palace.
I never believer divination.
Your Majesty,
my father's divination's have. always been spot-on.
Your Majesty, there is no lack of beauties in this land.
Why persist only to let a woman bring doom to our country?
I beseech Your Majesty to think it over.
Like you said, she's but a girl.
How could a girl bring doom to my kingdom? What a joke!
Your Majesty...
My mind is made up. Not another word!
Your Majesty. I don't know if I should tell you this.
Yes?
I've not been sleeping well. I get dreams every night.
And it's the same dream every night.
That's strange. What did you dream about?
I dreamt of Lady Su playing with her pet dog in the garden.
I wanted to pay her a compliment. But a deity appeared and said...
Stop stammering.
The deity said she's no flower but a weed.
Preposterous! How dare you fabricate tales in my court!
Your Majesty. please don't be angry.
I'm not the only one who has had dreams. Lady Li say something.
Your Majesty, I've dreamt of Lady Su several times too.
She looked murderous and said she'd do Your Majesty harm.
Your Majesty, I've also dreamt of Lady Su with blood-stained hands.
She was laughing sinisterly in my dreams.
How come none of you came to tell me anything about your dreams?
We didn't dare to.
Dreams aren't to be taken seriously.
It's just a coincidence that you all had similar dreams.
Your Majesty this is to much of a coincidence.
Could this be a sign from Heaven?
Indeed so. Your Majesty, West Marquis' divination is spot on.
It's to err on the lie of caution.
Fine! Try to foresee what bad thing will be coming my way.
If it comes true,
I'll have the two beauties sent into the Cold Palace.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Well?
Your Majesty a fire will break out at a quarter to the hour of zi.
Official Qin, what is the weather like today?
Your Majesty, it's a clear day with no lightning or meteor stars.
Very well. I want everyone out of my palace,
including palace maids and eunuchs.
No cooking is to be done Not even candles are to be lit.
Whoever defies my order shall be executed!
I shall see how a fire can start.
West Marquis' divination, known as Wenwang Divination today,
is said to be very accurate.
But it looks like there is no way a fire can start in the palace.
Speculation is rife in the palace.
While some think a fire may start by a falling meteor,
others think it may be an act of arson by an outsider.
The answer will be revealed.
Just a word from His Majesty...
and the whole palace is pitch dark.
We can hardly see a thing in here.
No wonder a king's order is the final word.
What do you think the king is like?
Not like that! Get out. all of you!
Your Majesty, the palace maids can't hold a candle...
to Lady Su's stunning beauty.
I can't wait any longer! I want to see her now!
No, Your Majesty.
after tonight, 3 days rules are over.
Why don't you turn in for the night?
I'm too excited to go to bed now.
Lord Deng, it won't hurt to just take a peep a her.
I just want to take a look at the two beauties.
But the palace rules...
To heck with them! Let's go and see them.
What if His Majesty favours only one of us?
I swear to Heaven that if His Majesty favours only me,
I'll try all ways and means for you to win His Majesty's favour too.
Gosh, you sounded so serious.
I'm being serious. If His Majesty takes a liking to me,
I'll make sure you'll win his favour too.
Same here. If His Majesty takes a special liking to me,
I will pluck his hair and his beard.
I want you to win his favour too.
We're Sisters. It is terrible if one of us is left lonely.
What are the two of you doing here at this late hour?
Outrageous! Pay your respects to His Majesty!
Not so loud! Don't frighten my beloved concubines.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Dispense with ceremony.
Where are my beloved concubines?
They're having a bath.
Stand guard here. No one is allowed in here.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Go out! Close the door after you.
Thieves! How dare you barge into our chamber!
His Majesty will have you beheaded!
I am the king.
Men! Men!
Bring out the torch, quick.
Don't be afraid.
He's really the king.
Look again. Do you recognize him?
I'm Lord Deng. He's really the king.
Look again. It's really!
Really His Majesty?
Yes. Don't be afraid, my beloved. I only came to pay you a visit
It'll be the hour of zi soon. I'll be able to see you closely then.
Someone, was crying for help. Let's search the place!
The imperial guards have been alerted. Let's get out of here.
I'll be waiting for you in my chamber.
Remember not to tell anyone about my visit, all right?
Have a good bath.
What an interesting king.
He rules the palace. To think he had to sneak in here to look at us.
No one would believe our story.
But he's a ruler. Isn't he acting a little too frivolously?
Isn't this better? I thought he was a stern and no nonsense bore.
But he seems like an interesting person.
He's not as violent as Father made him out to be.
We'll see happy days here in the palace.
Sister, don't let your guard down.
Father told us the palace is full of scheming and conniving people.
Do you remember why the palace is in darkness today?
It's all because West Marquis wants to deal with you.
The mention of him makes my blood boil.
He's been speaking ill of me to Father, since I was a child.
Thanks to him, I lost my chance to get educated.
Thank goodness His Majesty wasn't taken in by his nonsense.
How can a fire start when no one is allowed to light anything tonight?
Let's see how he's going to answer to His Majesty.
If I see His Majesty, I'll ask him to tell West Marquis off.
No, give him 20 strokes of the paddle. That will be gratifying.
After seeing both of them, it's only made me more excited.
Your Majesty, don't be impatient.
Once it's the hour of zi, I'll bring the beauties to you.
Better not. Let them wait for me in Yingxiang Palace.
Once it's the hour of zi, I'll make my way there.
Yes, Your Majesty.
To think that such beautiful women exist in this world.
Your Majesty, go and get some rest now.
I like that!
Hurry up!
Great! It's already the hour of zi.
I can make my way to Yingxiang Palace now.
What's going on?
Your Majesty, a fire has broken out at Xuanyuan Palace.
Put out the fire, quickly
Useless chap!
Don't go over, Your Majesty! It's dangerous!
Help! Help!
No one was to light anything tonight. Who did this?
Your Majesty, this means West Marquis' prediction has come true.
Xuanyuan Palace is on fire.
This pro es West Marquis' divination is accurate.
For the sake of our country, Your Majesty should see less of Su Daji.
This is only a coincidence!
Your Majesty, it's been decades since a fire broke out in here.
But, the moment Su Daji is summoned to the palace, a fire breaks out
Her Majesty is right.
Even if Su Daji won't bring doom to our country,
she's a jinx nonetheless.
Her Majesty and Lady Yang have a point.
Help! Help!
Your Majesty, the moment Su Daji arrives,
the palace suffers losses.
This is an ominous sign.
Don't keep her by your side, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
I beseech Your Majesty to send Su Daji into the Cold Palace.
What is this all about? Are you coercing me to give in?
The two beauties are dainty ladies. They can do our country no harm.
All of you worry unduly.
Precisely! Lord Deng has a point.
- Your Majesty! - Say no more!
Get this. I want to hear about the divinations no more.
No word of this is to be leaked out.
I don't want to worry the two ladies.
Lord Deng!
The three days of preparation for the ladies will be over tomorrow.
Bring them to my chamber tomorrow morning!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Place your hands on your left hip.
Remember to kneel down.
Start hopping. Remember, hop with your legs placed together.
At the last hop,
turn around and smile.
Stop laughing.
Start practicing this action
His Majesty looks forward! to seeing it.
Not like this.
Your Ladyship did it so well the last time
I can't remember what I did that day.
So what if she looks a little unnatural doing it?
I'm sure His Majesty will take a liking to you and neglect me.
No way. If he does that, I'll frown and ignore him.
Don't do that! I was only kidding.
Jiang Huan, have you recovered from the beating?
Thank you for your concern, Lady Su I've fully recovered.
I'm glad to hear that.
Sister-, this eunuch is honest and well-mannered.
If you can, promote him.
I will.
Lady Yang, I'm taking Their Ladyships to His Majesty.
We'd better be on our way.
You seem to be very pally with Lady Su.
Give him 50 strokes of the paddle!
Lady Su, this way please.
Lady Su arrives!
My beauty, you're finally here.
Little Oddball has come too.
Come, have a drink with me.
Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.
Leave!
Your Majesty, think it over...
What's the din about?
I'll go and check it out.
My beauty, have a drink with me.
I can't drink.
Surely you don't wish to see me drink alone?
If you do get drunk, I'll be here to take care of you
Your Majesty think it over
What's the din all about?
Don't be afraid. I wasn't yelling at you.
Your Majesty, Bi Gan, Lord Wen and the rest are kneeling outside.
They want Your Majesty to stay away from the two ladies.
Outrageous! They're a stubborn bunch! What a killjoy!
Tell them to shut up or they'll get 50 strokes of the paddle each!
Lord Deng told me...
you have a lovely action while playing with Little Oddball.
Would you care to show it to me?
Your Majesty think it over..
This is preposterous!
My beauty, don't be scared I wasn't yelling at you.
Don't be afraid.,
Your Majesty, think it over. Think of our country.
Stop shouting.
Otherwise. His Majesty will punish you accordingly.
Your Majesty, think it over. Think of our country.
Very well. In that case, don't blame me for being merciless.
Give each of them 50 strokes of the paddle!
Stop running.
Don't run.
Go on.
Your Majesty.
Lord Wei!
Your Majesty, think it over!
Carry on!
Your Majesty, think it over!
Put out the fire quick!
Help!
Your Majesty!
Little Oddball!
Little Oddball, are you all right?
Your Majesty, why did you get so worked up?
Men!
Your Majesty... What is it?
Your Majesty, has my sister offended you?
Your Majesty, I'm sorry! Have mercy on her, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, do you still want to keep Lady Su here?
No.
How about the other Lady Su?
She'll stay.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Men, take her away.
I'll take my leave.
Here, get up.
Your Majesty, my sister has had little schooling.
So she maybe a little cloddish.
But I'm certain she didn't mean to offend Your Majesty.
Hush, hush Look how worried you are.
You're crying.
I hate to see people cry.
Come, give me a smile.
That's my girl!
What do you like? Pearls or emerald?
So long as they're from Your Majesty, I will like them.
Very well, I'll give them to you!
You two are leaving too?
From today onwards, we won't be able to wait on Your Ladyship.
Lord Deng, when will my sister come back?
Your sister has won His Majesty's favour.
She'll be putting up at a better place.
She won't be coming back here.
This can't be!. My sister and I have always shared the same bed.
No matter where we may be, we are always together
She won't leave me behind.
Times have changed.
Your sister is now His Majesty's current favourite.
She's enjoying a higher status. She won't come back to you.
No. We have a pact. If one of us wins the favour of His Majesty,
she won't make life difficult for the other.
If my sister wins the favour of His Majesty,
she'll ask His, Majesty to let her come back and see me.
I'm sure His Majesty will agree to it.
Oh, really? Happy Waiting then.
Lord Deng, we've moved everything that is to be moved away.
Let's make a move.
Lady Su, take care.
In the next episode,
the rivalry among the concubines will turn bloody
