Sound of the Desert (Da Mo Yao) Episode 23
I'm sure everyone understands why
I have gathered you here today.
I ordered everyone
to settle Shi House's business over a month ago.
But even now there has been no progress.
Were there difficulties you encountered?
When I was with your father,
I remember that he spent a lot of efforts
to build up this family business.
I won't forget his advice.
The Shi House family businesss
can be given up so lightly.
Jiu Ye, please reconsider.
Jiu Ye we have a huge family and business
if you make this decision,
it will be greatly affected.
Jiu Ye.
Please consider very carefully.
Even if you don't think about us,
you need to think about the people in Da Desert and our brothers in Jian An City
If we don't have your Shi House anymore.
it will be really hard for us to imagine it.
When I continued the succession of Shi House,
we can say we have disgraced our family name
there are some task that our ancestors have given us
and others are my own hope of the world
are all difficult to fulfill
If I think about everyone's future,
I also hope everyone can settle down
There are many people who rely on you at Shi House.
You are our Master.
Shi House
can't be without its Master for a single day.
I still hope that Jiu Ye
will think over it more carefully.
Jiu Ye really intends
to give up everything for Xiao Yue?
Please everyone, don't make wild assumptions.
the matter at hand is bigger than you'd expect
Every decision I make
has nothing to do with people outside of Shi House.
It was me who failed my responsibilities.
It's me,
who has let down everyone's feelings towards Shi House.
The accounts.
General Wei, regarding the matter of the King of Jie's tribe
you have once again defeat them
it makes other respect you. To be able to work with you is our honor
If you're not afraid of death then come with me
Uncle really gets up very early.
Emperor is arriving!
Long live your majesty!
You may all rise.
Thank you your majesty.
Your subjects congratulate your majesty on your newborn son.
Congratulations, your majesty, on your newborn son.
Your majesty has been blessed with a son
it is a fortuitous event for our country.
Your Majesty, please confirm the position of the Crown Prince.
Your subject suggests Madam Xiang's son as Crown Prince.
Madam Xiang is compassionate and kind and her son has luck
to be able to escape misfortune and danger
is a blessing granted by the heavens
If we make him the Crown Prince,
it will be our citizen's luck and our country's blessing
Your Majesty, your subject's opinion is
the elder is first. Of course we make the eldest son as crown prince
or else the entire world won't be satisfied
It's too early to talk about the Crown Prince. Let's talk about this later.
But today I would like to celebrate the arrival of my son.
I will hold a banquet.
Thank you your majesty!
Wu Ji. This time you've successfully brought back the two princes from the Jie Tribe.
What kind of reward would you like?
your subject does not dare to ask for a reward
Alright, but I've already thought of a good reward for you.
You don't have your own family yet. I would like to arrange a marriage for you.
today is your cherished son's lucky day
since everyone is happily celebrating, my familial matter does not deserve your endeavor
everyone should drink and celebrate instead
That's fine too.
Miss Xin Yue. General Wei has send me to escort you home.
Alright. Uncle Chen, please wait for me outside.
I will wrap up here and will be there shortly.
General Wei is so clingy to you
Either he comes here every day to look for you
or he will send someone to pick you up.
He can't do without you.
Aunt Hong, stop making fun of me.
Talking about this, he treats you so well.
He should marry you soon.
House master.
The Palace has sent someone over.
Miss Xin Yue.
His Majesty has ordered me to send you an invitation to the palace.
Since the day Wu Ji saw me crying on Jiu Ye's shoulder,
he didn't say anything about it.
Almost as if nothing ever happened.
He didn't asked me any questions and continued treating me as he always has.
Yet, when the Emperor mentions marriage with Wu Ji,
he will intentionally get drunk
and uses it as an excuse to stop the Emperor from talking.
It looks like today he will be coming home drunk again.
You're back.
Today there was a banquet in the palace. I drank a little too much.
You can't use being drunk as an excuse to not let the Emperor speak.
I know this can't go on for long,
but I can't think of other ideas.
This was sent from the palace today.
The Emperor has summoned me to the palace.
I've heard that Sir Lu's horse riding and archery skills are incredible.
I shall learn from you another day
Sir Li's horse riding and archery skills
are famous in Southern Dynasty.
Lord Ling's invitation is my honor
Hei Shi is a good companion.
Excellent. We can confirm this then.
Definitely.
The emperor keeps on delaying the matter of selecting a crown prince
His Majesty has his own idea.
I don't think we should make any guesses
Everyone, excuse me.
Alright.
It looks like whereever Xin Yue goes there are always admirers
A Southern Dynasty's General has deep feelings for you.
And presently, this saintly, upright, and prosperous newly appointed glorious grand master
Looks like his heart is moved by you too.
This Hei Shi hasn't been in Jian An City for long,
and that day it was Wei Wu Ji who went to his aid.
His relationship with Wei Wu Qi is not bad.
Madam has lived in the palace for too long.
your mind has slowly become
only interested in men and women matters
-General Li. -General Wang, let's talk over there.
Madam seems to continue to use your own heart to determinine what others are thinking
You seem to have lost weight lately.
Madam looks a lot dispirited
there may be something that is not going according to your wish
I did want to become relatives with you Xin Yue
Although my attempts have failed
but the Emperor intends to bestow marriage on Wei Wu Ji.
That will be a confirmed matter.
Madam, you never know what's going to happen next.
But your marriage is a done matter
If you would rather stay in the palace, bowing every morning to the Royal Princess
having others look down on you, then go be General Wei concubine
But Xin Yue, why make it so difficult for yourself?
This isn't your personality,
can you withstand it?
Why don't you withdraw instead?
Greetings, Your Highness.
What are you talking about? You seem so happy.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Rise.
Little sister. Recently I heard that your health hasn't been well.
In future, you can dispense with the formalities.
Thank you my queen.
I have repeated reread medical books lately
and have discovered ways to take care of the body
and would like to share this with you.
I have heard of this
The most important point to maintain in good health
is to not think about things too much.
When it's time to let go then you should let go.
Sister's advice is true. I've learnt a lesson.
Actually I am impressed with sister's kindness in pardoning others
Regarding matters in the past, you have not minded
nor brought up faults
Aunt Yun.
Xin Yue isn't familiar with the palace rules.
Take care of her for me.
Yes, my Queen.
Little sister. Recently our sisters have been very curious
your recent hairstyle makes me admire
Miss Xin Yue, you and general Wei have looked a lot more dispirited
Aunt Yun..
Ever since I entered the palace with the queen
I've witnessed too many happiness and sadness.
I'm old and my heart is cold.
But I want to convince you to take a step back.
men are bound to have a couple wives
As long as he has you in his heart, is already considered something hard to come by.
Aunt Yun, there are some things I cannot yield.
All I want is a man with a single heart, and we can stay together until our hair turns white.
Wu Ji's personality is stubborn,
but I didn't think your personality would be more stubborn.
But you have to know
how many women in this world
are able to achieve their wishes.
Though the dining hall is only a short distance
our statuses are like the clouds and the earth.
We're within each other's reach,
but there's a very distant feeling.
Wu Ji.
I have instructed people to build the best house for you
It's just short of a mistress of the house.
your servant thanks your highness for your love
but I have already decided
only when there is peace will I build a family
I dare not accept this mansion.
Wu Ji, your battles are brilliant.
your name will definitely be heard in history
I only want to give you a family soon.
But I have already decided.
This is a promise to never marry in his life
Do as you wish
but I will still give this mansion.
When you think that peace has come to the Kingdom,
I still want to bestow it to you
Your subject thanks your majesty.
♫ Bright like the moon after the clouds clear ♫
♫ Heard husband has a different heart. So I came to make an end ♫
♫ Today we compete with wine ♫
♫ Tomorrow we'll part by the canal ♫
Aunt Yun, just send me here.
He's waiting for me.
Then go quickly.
♫ Grief after grief, no need to cry about marriage ♫
♫ Wish to have a wholehearted person, not separating even when hair turns white ♫
The food in the palace doesn't taste good. I'm not full yet. Lets hurry home
and get the chef to give me something good to eat.
Alright. Whatever you say, lets go home and eat. -Look at them hugging in public.
- That's right. - What a disgrace. - He's a general.
He's a failure us Jie tribe people express their love more easily
General Wei and the beauty in his arms are both suave and able to express their love
this feeling of pure honesty
is proper and deserves admiration
I don't know where these crazy dogs are barking from.
If people are not careful and are bitten by the dogs,
they can't bite the dogs back, right?
Right.
so let's just let those animals continue to bark
the louder, the better. Let's just think of it as entertainment
What are you thinking about?
so concentrated
I'm thinking about what General Wei said.
He said that where there is peace in the kingdom,
only then will he start a family.
He did that intentionally to reject the marriage.
But General Wei
has sacrificed a lot of Xin Yue.
he doesn't care about what other says
and even go against your majesty's words
he is considered to have done his best for Xin Yue
I also pamper you a lot
Your dotings,
of course, I know that.
But what I care about
isn't myself.
I am a weak woman.
My status in the palace
of course it's not as respected as the Empress
But that isn't important either.
It's just that as a child's mother
My only hope is to protect my child.
Why would you say this?
Your majesty, you know this as well.
It wasn't easy for me to have this child.
His life is brought back through hardships
Hence, I hope that
Your Majesty will care and love him more.
He is our son.
Of course, I will care for and love him.
If Your Majesty wants to protect our son,
you should let everyone know that
you value him.
the matter of establishing a crown prince
is the country's big matter
Your Majesty.
Pian Er is my
only support
The kingdom belongs to me.
He is also my son.
I will definitely find a suitable opportunity
to let him be the Crown Prince.
Thank you your majesty.
Yue Er.
There's a madam that wants to see you.
Who is it?
It's Madam Wei.
these two days I've been staying at the Wei's residence
and have not returned to my own house
today I just walked into my house and his mother shows up
It seems like
she's well aware of my whereabouts
and purposely doesn't want Wu Ji to know.
Please let Madam Wei come in.
There is to much people outside and too much gossip
Yue Er.
I've already heard about what happened in the palace.
Why didn't General Wei accept the mansion?
He even talked about peace in the kingdom.
and will delay establish a family
Even though listeners admire his diginity
but I really want to ask,
when will the world be at peace
Don't tell me that as long as there is the Jie tribe,
he won't marry and have children.
Aunt Hong.
You won't understand this.
If I don't understand, then explain to me.
General Wan
already has three sons and has married twice.
One of them is even the Royal Princess.
I also didn't see him fighting with the Jie tribe in the desert.
Aunt Hong, I will talk to you about this later.
You must be Miss Xin Yue.
Aunt Hong was brining the message to you but I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me
so I made the decision
sorry for delaying Madam
I wanted to let you come here.
It's quieter to talk here. I didn't think that you would be here so soon.
Since Madam Wei has arrived then
I'll take my leave.
Since I'm here,
I don't want to elaborate
I will get to the point.
If whatever I say makes you uncomfortable,
then please forgive me.
Si Ma Lie told me that
your actions don't consider the consequences
and is only a foxy woman
Wu Ji did not act properly while in the army
you did not dissuade him but laughed along with him
As a mother, when I found it hard to accept when I heard this.
I had not hoped for Wu Ji to marry a refined elegant lady
but at least you must be mindful of your actions
and knows how to retreat.
There are lots of criticism toward Wu Ji in the court
As his mother,
it's hard for me to listen to this and accept it.
I asked Her Highness for her opinion.
to my bewilderment,
her highness has sided with you
those who matter to her highness
would not be the way how Si Ma Li thinks thinks of you
Hence, I came here specially today
as a mother,
I want to peacefully and calmly speak with you
Madam Wei, please speak.
I will listen first.
Wu Qi's birth background,
you should have heard a bit about it
Wu Qi has talked about it.
since it's in the past
I'm not afraid to bring it up again.
I gave birth to Wu Qi when I got married.
Not long after he was born,
his father married another woman.
So ever since he was little
he grew up with his uncle..
Actually Wu Ji's heart
longs for a normal family.
But you've made him..
They say there are three aspects of not being filial.
Not having a child is the biggest one.
This is not a question of being filial or not.
How many men in Jian An City over the age of twenty
are still childless?
Miss Xin Yue.
Today I came
as Wu Ji's mother
hoping you would be willing to reconsider.
If possible...
If you can leave Wu Ji
then I will be very grateful.
Miss Xin Yue.
I was also young once,
it's not like I don't understand you
It's just that people will learn
to succumb to reality
Xin Yue understands what Madam Wei said.
Then that's good.
Can you promise me..
Why is mother here?
I have never met Miss Xin Yue.
so I purposely came here today to take a look.
If you wanted to meet Xiao Yue,
you could have let me know
and I would have personally taken Xiao Yue visit you.
Wu Qi. Madam was just about to tell me
the new hairstyles that are trending throughout the city
I suppose you didn't want to join the discussion
Women will have private matters to talk about.
Do you need to be that anxious?
Alright. I've been here for a while,
I should be going back.
I will escort you home.
Yue Er.
Are you alright?
Why is your face so pale?
Aunt Hong.
You sent someone to notify Wu Ji, right?
This Madam Wei
ridiculously came to our place.
How could anything good happen?
I did this for you.
Madame Wei is a weak lady.
Would I suffer?
If something like this happens again
then please don't alarm Wu Ji.
I can handle this myself.
Can you handle it yourself?
Even if I can't handle it I still have to face it.
Right now I'm afraid that Madam Wei
thinks that I am causing a rift between them mother and son
I am afraid that she has already
developed a greater animosity towards me
I'm sorry.
I really didn't think about it that much.
It's okay. Besides, nothing happened.
I'm happy for you that you have found a lover.
but didn't think that there were that much obstacles
Yue Er. Do you know that
Shi House has really disbanded.
How did this happen?
I heard that the Shi House's medical business has been handed over to Shi Feng and Shi Jin Yan.
The jade business has been handed over to Shi Zhen Xin.
there rest they have given to Master Wu and Uncle Shi
And they have changed back to their original surname
Two days ago, Shi Feng
but now it's Lu Feng
He came here.
He said that he wanted to buy Luo Yu Fang.
He wanted to be in the performance theatre business.
I saw the he was eloquent and refined
His asking price was also reasonable.
I deliberated that if you wanted to sell other performance theatre
then you can consider selling it to him.
How did this happen?
Such a drastic change.
These days,
the traders in Jian An city
At least that's what has been coming out of everyone's mouth
in a matter of days, The City of Jian's
biggest business, Shi House,
have been splitted into many parts
Aunt Hong, are you sure about this news?
Of course.
You are not aware that because of Shi House
the price of jade in Jian An City has
doubled over the course of one night
It's because everyone is afraid that
Shi Zhen Xin doesn't has good management skills.
The cost of medicine has also continued to rise
but it's because Shi Jin Yan
was one of the three major managers of the Shie Enterprise
only under his management could he suppress the price
of the medicine from rising
What about Jiu Ye?
There are rumours saying his health is poor
and could not handle the Shie Enterprise
Jiu Ye really did what he said.
He really gave up on everything,
giving up his business that his ancestors has managed for so long
I also heard
that while they were splitting up the business
they got into a disagreement
Shi Jin Yan and Shi Zhen Xin
doesn't want Jiu Ye to leave.
You must completely support him.
But the outcome is unknown
Is that so?
Yue Er.
Do we really have to sell Luo Yu Fang?
Lets sell it to Shi Feng.
If the women here follow him,
I don't have to worry.
I've lived here ever since I was young.
I am thinking keeping the back part of this house
and sell the theatre in front to Shi House.
As long as we build a wall then it would be fine
What do you think about it?
Of course.
the front of the house should be sufficient
If the asking price is low,
Shi Feng probably wouldn't disagree.
I've also got used to living here.
As long as I don't leave the City of Jian An
I am too lazy to move elsewhere
Are you already used to living here?
Can't it be that when she marry you still want to stay here
Yue Er.
I'm fine.
I'm not that weak as you think I am.
In the past, I saw you
always looking for a higher branch
Thus, when I saw that General Wei was interested in you,
you were indifferent to him.
I was always hoping
that one day you'll fall in love with him and marry him.
But right now I suddenly feel
that you'll have hardships if you stay with him.
This branch is too high,
too narrow.
the wind is cold and piercing
and there's many wild animals around
If you could marry a ordinary man
then the two of you would be able to live happily.
Which is better than what you have now.
Having such a sister like you,
who worries about me,
I'm already more fortunate than the rest of the women.
No matter what,
I'm not weak.
Massive cold winds
means nothing to me.
Ever since you left,
Shi house has been taken care of Luo Yi Fang
This matter this time,
the circulating news is that there are lots of troubles
Do you want to go take a look?
And greet Jiu Ye in place of me
I will take care of this situation.
Sister, you can relax.
Listening to the sound of your flute,
I just know that you can't give up your love.
I know that miss Xin Yue wouldn't want to see you looking so dispirited and melancholic either
This sound represents the composer's feelings at the time he composed the song.
You thought too much about it.
Jiu Ye!
Isn't it because of Wei Wu Qi?
Why not snatch back sister Yue ?
Snatch?
I'm really okay.
You two can leave.
Jiu..
Back then it was Xin Yue true love toward Jiu Ye
Now it's Jiu Ye's deep love toward Miss Xin Yue
Love is like this.
always playing tricks on people
We can't keep watching Jiu Ye go on like this
We can't do anything to help him.
Let's think of a solution.
Yes.
I say, Sister Yue.
Are you going or not?
Let me think about it a bit more.
What is there to think about?
I think you only want to become Madam Wei
and no longer have eyes for your little brother.
Besides, Ye Ye wants to see you.
If you really don't want to move around
then tell me and I'll get him to find you.
Except I don't know if you're willing to see him.
Give an me answer.
to prevent the elderly from wasting a trip coming here
Alright. You should go back.
After all it's New Year.
I'll be over after I change my clothes.
Alright. Then I'll be going first.

That person told me.
The Honeysuckle's nickname is "bearing winter"
because they are green even in the winter.
But he refused to tell what the real name of the flower is
and did not promise to admire the flowers with me.

Brother Shi.
The snow falls gently while you ice fish.
It's a beautiful scenery.
I'm waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Walk quietly here.
Otherwise you'll scare the fish away.
I have to see Ye Ye now.
Also, I want to thank you
to let Xiao Feng take over the theatre.
On the other hand, if it's because you don't want to run Shi House
then you can do whatever you want.
But if you're..
if it's because of me
then it's not necessary.
Sit down.
The weather is cold.
Why are you still wearing so less?
I was just about to head back.
Lets go together.
Jiu Ye, what is it you want?
It's impossible for us now.
Nothing is impossible.
Wei Wu Ji treats you very well,
but I can treat you even better.
He can't marry you,
he doesn't have a plan to take you away from Jian An
I can do everything he can't do.
I can take you ask my wife.
Next summer...
The flowers by the duck pond will bloom.
When that time comes we can admire the flowers together.
Wu Ji, I'm sorry.
Perhaps. the princess is a very good woman.
I'm very thirsty.
You're awake?
I'm very warm.
Alright. You wait for me.
The imperial doctor said that your cold is severe; the cold entered your system.
You need to rest for a few days.
You can't be exposed to the cold anymore.
Drink some water.
It's good that your body is healthy.
Once your fever broke you woke up.
If it were other women
even if they didn't die they would only have half their life left.
How many days have I been sick?
Were you always by my side?
You look more ragged.
Why didn't you let yourself get some sleep?
Three days and two nights. With you looking this, how could I slept?
If your fever didn't break this morning I wouldn't have been able to rest.
I...
How was I rescued?
Jiu Ye wrapped the fishing rod around a tree trunk
and used the fishing line to slowly
move to a crevice in the ice surface
Shi Household's guard passed by and saved you.
Jiu Ye was wearing a vest to protect himself from the cold.
and he entered the water later than you.
He suffered a minor arm injury.
He'll be fine in a few days.
I..
How did I end up here?
Jiu Ye said
with your health condition now,
it's not suitable for you to travel by carriage.
I have called the best Royal Physician to take a look at you.
He said the same thing. It's best that you stay here and rest.
Xiao Yue
Can you tell me
why you fell into the waters in the cave?
I'm sorry.
I'll be more careful in the future.
You don't have to say sorry.
Promise me.
Don't let something like this happen again.
It absolutely can not happen again.
General Wei.
Jiu Ye has come to see Sister Yue.
I came to take Xiao Yue's pulse.
Tell me when I get better.
I cannot move and it's so hot.
It's hard for me to take it.
When can we leave?
Her body has already expelled the cold air.
Prepare a carriage.
Wrap her in a few extra blankets.
You can leave whenever you want.
Alright. We'll leave immediately.
