Episode 50
Princess, your arrow technique is good.
This is bad! This is bad, Princess!
Why are you in such panic?
Just now, on my way to the hall
Master Qiao is discussing the marriage with the Queen Mother
Saying that Liu Huang Shu is already slowly come to the South.
How can something like this happen?
Brother and mother didn't even ask me.
Zhong Mou pay respect to the country elder My Lady, mother.
I don't know what is the matter of my doing that mother call me to come.
I actually want to asked you. You may have something to say to me.
I don't know what mother means after all?
You unfilial son, you still want to hide it from me?
What is Liu Bei doing to arrive quietly in the South?
What did you do to your sister?
Mother don't be angry again.
Your son let Liu Bei to come quietly in the South only want to give something and get something in return regarding Jingzhou.
Definitely no sacrifice in mind. Just with sweet thoughts of happiness and good fortune.
I think you're greedy beyond the point of a snake swallowing an elephant.
You have six counties and eighty-one provinces in Jiangnan, yet you are not satisfied!
And yet you stille desire Jingzhou.
It's fine if you use your own abilities to take it,
Nevertheless allowing your sister to be taken to be used as sexual entrapment.
Elder brother! We are born from the same mother, I'm your sister. How could you treat me this way?
Jingzhou taken or not taken, that is your matter.
But now you're doing like this, in the future how could you still let me behave with integrity?!
Mother. I can't even face that Liu Huang Shu, also I have never seen him before.
It has already been disseminated everywhere!
Mother, can you give justice to your daughter?
Alright.
You say something. As an elder brother how could you conduct yourself to do like this? What is your intention?!
Mother, sister, please rest assured.
I have already discussed it with Master Zhou.
Block out the news. Definitely cannot allow the peasants to
disseminate negative news about Shang Xiang.
Notifying Your Highness and Wu Hou. Zhao Yun, with his followers, have been making his impending arrival known with drums and gongs, and
have arrived outside our manor. They say they are here to deliver the betrothal gifts.
The people who are delivering the betrothal gifts have already arrived at our door!
Brother, tell me again. How are we able to block the news now?
I'm not sure if you'll allow old and useless me to say something reasonable?
Please speak.
Before this, there were several times when visitation requests were rejected.
That has been quite impolite. If you refuse visitation again, that would be too much.
This matter of marriage, I suggest Your Highness and Lady Shang Xiang have a discussion again.
But we cannot forego proper etiquette.
You're right.
Mother, Master Qiao, please let me handle this matter and meet with Zhao Zi Long. I promise to be civil with him.
Zhao Yun greets Wu Hou.
I've heard about you for a long time, Changsan Zhao Zi Long. Seeing you today confirms what I've heard is true.
You are indeed a valiant General!
Wu Hou you have been too kind with your words for me. Today, Zi Long is here on my Lord's order, to deliver the betrothal gifts.
I was thinking back that Master Lu had mentioned about the rampant robbers who roam the roads of Nanxu
I am worried for the safety of my Lord, so I came in his place. Please forgive me.
Liu Huang Shu is really mindful. I've a favor to ask General Zi Long.
I hope you may carry a message on your return
I offer my apologies for not being able to receive Lord Liu personally. I had a cold.
after the marriage is arranged, I will personally greet them.
Wu Hou's sincere message, I will definitely convey it.
I'd no idea of General Zi Long's arrival, and so I'm caught unprepared.
I also invite you to take these jugs of wine
and bring them back as a symbol of my gratitude.
Thank you. Then I'll return now.
I'll report to my lord.
This wine...
Leave it. You may leave.
When I see Wu Hou in a state of panic, it was quite comical.
A dignified master of Eastern Wu, he should be the Lord in this matter.
But surprisingly he has enmeshed himself in a trap of his own devise.
Luckily Zi Long has persuaded Master Qiao to make a trip.
Today Master Qiao is a guest in Shun's manor.
In a while, I'll go ahead with the delivery of the betrothal gifts.
I believe Lord Shun will not be able to reject them this time.
Even though the Lord of Dongwu will be here at the inn to meet with you personally
But I guess that's also a false statement.
What do you mean?
Now, the common people already know about the upcoming marriage of the Lord.
But Wu Hou has still, at this late timing, not given his response.
But if he comes to Yi Pavilion, doesn't that confirm the truth of the matter?
I think Wu Hou has delayed meeting my Lord because of this worry.
So, in your opinion, for Lord Qiao to persuade your Highness
to accept this marriage, what rate of success would that be?
I wouldn't know for sure. But one thing I'm sure of is this,
if Your Highness knows about the matter, she would react and do something.
The Lord of Dongwu is prioritising Jingzhou
but the Queen Mother will be prioritising the marriage of the Princess
Brother, how could you have accepted the betrothal gifts?
You've left me with no choice but to marry!
Sister, please don't worry anymore.
The reason why I did this is to placate Liu Bei
As long as I avoid seeing him, he can't do anything no matter how much rattle he causes.
Brother, do you think that you can keep him here forever?
Even if I don't have to marry him,
everyone now knows about this arrangement.
That would make me unfit for marriage forever!
In my view, this might not be so bad after all.
Please go on.
Liu Bei is a force to be reckoned with.
Furthermore, he's very well respected among the people.
I guess all of you have heard about that.
I have met him only once,
but I'm able to tell that he is a well-cultured man.
Even General Zhao, who serves alongside him, is a man of many talents.
If Shang Xiang can be married to such a hero,
it would be a blessing indeed.
This...
Mother, please don't!
So what if Liu Bei is a heroic man?
I have never met him in person, there's no love between us!
How can we be husband and wife if we get married like this?
Miss Shang Xiang,
you have a right to worry.
I'm not saying that you have to marry.
Since this arrangement is already in place,
Queen Mother, why don't you find a time to meet him?
If you think he's a good match,
then isn't it good that you managed to find an ideal son in law?
If you think he's not worthy, then Zhong Mou can retake Jingzhou from him.
This... get up.
Zhong Mou, what do you say?
I dare not comment on this anymore, for I have already erred greatly.
All I hope for is happiness for my sister.
Mother, you can decide what to do.
That's good.
Send some men over to Gan Lu Temple
and bring Liu Bei to me. I'd like to see
if Liu Bei deserves to take my daughter as wife.
Zhao Zi Long! Where are you going in such a hurry?
Master Qiao's messenger delivered a letter to us.
I'll go report to the Lord.
Looks like this matter is more or less resolved.
Lady Niu, I will deliever the message by myself. You should rest first.
Zhao Zi Long, what do you mean? You're pushing me away on purpose, aren't you?
I don't mean anything.
Don't you forget that convincing Master Qiao to help us is partly my doing too.
Now that Master Qiao has sent his reply,
I have to help Lord Liu to think about what to do next.
General Zhao, I heard a strange sound just now. Did something happen?
Someone tried to assassinate Our Highness.
He came running this way. Have you seen him?
What? There's an assassin?
Is the Lord alright?
He wasn't harmed.
General Zhao, please rest assured. I will assign more people and increase the guards immediately.
I absolutely won't let this kind of thing happen again.
My Lady, the water is here.
Where should I put it?
Put it beside the barber, of course!
Liu Yan Cheng, I know you're not pleased with me making you do this and that.
But, today you're doing work for Your Highness.
Stop giving me this kind of expression.
How would I dare? As long as you give me instructions, I will work according to it, wouldn't that be enough?
That's more like it.
Everyone, good morning.
Zhao Zi Long, have you fetched Lord Liu's custom-made clothes?
I've already taken care of it according to your will.
My Lord, everything is prepared.
Please lie down. The show is about to start!
Miss Niu, this is...
Lord Liu, rest assured. This is Mr Xu, the most famous barber in town.
Everyone he had shaved became as handsome as a prince.
Rest assured, alright.
Please excuse yourselves.
Get to it.
Mr Xu, be careful about it.
Miss Niu, I actually thought you could perform magic tricks.
Turns about it's just a barber!
You men are either in battle
or on the way to battle. There's plenty you don't understand.
Since you're so confident about it,
I'd like to see if he can look as young as you say he would.
How come you all look at me like this?
This...this isn't suitable for me?
No,no,no. It's very suitable.
You guys, tell me. Doesn't Lord Liu look ten years younger?
Looks good. This clothes, looks good.
The way I see it, Your Highness indeed looks a lot younger.
He really looks like a highborn.
My Lord, if you go to meet the Queen Mother now,
I bet she would have nothing to complain about!
Let's hope so.
Alright, let's go quickly.
Don't go yet! An important step is still missing.
- What are you doing?- Oh, it's nothing.
I'm just afraid that your pretty face might outshine the Lord's.
What if the Queen Mother picks you as her son in law?
Then, what about me?
I'm saying, what about Emperor Liu?
Niu Yu!
In-law, I heard you mention this before
and the one accompany Liu Bei to come
is Changshan Zhao Zi Long.
Is this man really as good a warrior as people say?
Does he really have such a fearsome reputation among Cao Cao's subordinates?
Even though I've only heard of it,
when I saw him, he was really looks extraordinary!
The rumours must be true.
In no time, you will see him.
Then, you will know that I definitely wasn't exaggerating.
By the way, I have also heard that when Zhao Zi Long took Nanjun,
he did it without sacrificing any of his soldier's lives.
Even our commander in chief couldn't do anything about it.
Mother, you can't trust rumours.
There are troops guarding the city. How is it possible to take it without a fight?
Zhong Mou, do you mean to say that I am telling a lie?
No, no. Please don't be angry with me.
This is just a metaphor.
Zhao Zi Long is with another camp.
Our familial bond need not be damaged over him.
Queen Mother, Lord Liu has arrived.
Hurry, show him in.
I, Xuan De, pay my respects to you, Queen Mother.
Lord Liu, please have a seat.
Thank you very much.
I heard that Lord Sun was having a cold and wanted to pay a visit to him.
But I was afraid to disturb him in his recovery,
so I refrained from calling.
I hope that Lord Sun can forgive me.
Lord Liu, this is just a small matter.
It's my bad.
You should forgive me instead for not being able to receive you properly.
Lord Sun, you are busy with state affairs.
After all, we came early because Lu Zi Heng gave us the wrong date.
It's an honour for me to be in this feast with both Zhong Mou and Lord Liu.
But I do have something to ask you about.
Master Qiao, I will give an honest answer no matter what you ask.
Rumours say that Cao Cao is controlling the Emperor like a puppet
you were travelling in exile because of it. To restore the glories of the Han Dynasty,
you were lucky to have Zhu Ge Liang and brave generals in your service
Now that you have taken Xiangfan,
it can be said to be your home base.
What are your plans from now on?
Master Qiao, Queen Mother,
allow me to answer it in detail.
Alright. I shall listen carefully.
Cao Cao has a strong army and a vast territory,
I am no match for him right now.
But with a brilliant strategist like Master Zhu Ge,
and ferocious generals like Yun Chang, Yi De, and Zi Long,
together with the friendship we have established with Dongwu,
we can resist Cao Cao's invasion and focus on making the people prosperous.
This is also the reason I have agreed to this marriage as proposed by Lord Sun.
Lord Liu, you have many talents under your service.
Our alliance is sure to work out great for Dongwu too.
Lord Liu, you are indeed ambitious.
Today, let us relax and not talk about politics.
Let's have some fun just like one big family.
Servants, bring Lord Liu some wine.
My Lord, something might be wrong.
Protect His Highness.
What is it?
Zi Long is helping to take care of our footmen.
A small matter, just a small matter.
It's me.
Why are you here?
I cam to help you to protect Lord Liu together.
Miss Niu, this isn't the place for you to come.
What are you saying?
The Queen Mother and Sun Quan are mother and son,
aren't you afraid that they were plotting to kill Lord Liu?
Don't worry, they don't know you still have reinforcements.
I'll go check out the surroundings and make sure that it's safe
Guards! Get the assassins!
Lord Liu, are you injured?
Are you alright?
I'm fine. This must have frightened the Queen Mother and Master Qiao.
Everything is going so well.
Where did the arrow come from?
Seems like the rumours about the poor security in Nanxu is true. I should look into this.
I have to fix this.
Old age has gotten to me. My hands are shaky.
- Go, get me another bowl. - Yes.
Lord Liu, please sit.
Yes, Empress.
Kill her!
General Sun, these are your people.
Ding Feng!
My Lord come to this meeting with honest intentions.
Why are you trying to assassinate him?
This is just a misunderstanding. I'll find out who's the villain
- that set me up for this. - Lord Sun is not responsible for this.
I am angry that Liu Bei was occupying Jingzhou for so long without returning it.
He even dares to dream of marrying the Princess! What a shameless man.
It's my decision to carry out this assassination. Since I'm caught, do what you wish with me.
You got some nerve!
Lord Liu is my honoured guest. How dare you plot against him! You crime cannot be forgiven!
Queen Mother, please don't get riled up. Even though General Ding was planning to assassinate me,
I am unharmed. He shouldn't be executed.
Ding Feng has to die! How can he wish ill upon our honoured guest?
As the saying goes, it's easy to amass an army, but difficult to obtain a general.
Furthermore, General Ding has served you for a long time
and brought you many victories.
In my view, it's best to spare his life.
Lord Liu, you are indeed generous.
Zhong Mou, since Lord Liu wishes to go easy on this,
should we reduce his punishment?
Thank you, Lord Liu, Master Qiao.
It's really fortunate that Lord Liu is unharmed.
If anything had happened to him, I would have lost such a good son in law.
Let me make this clear.
I am very satisfied with Lord Liu being my son in law.
If anyone of you dares touch him,
you will become my enemy.
I wanted to have a good chat with you today, but who would have known that such terrible things will happen.
I guess we shall leave it here today.
Let's pick another day
where I shall invite Lord Liu and the two generals over for a banquet.
That lady seems to be injured.
You should quickly bandage it.
Are you alright?
I'm alright.
Queen Mother, Master Qiao, I'll take my leave first.
Miss, you finally came back!
Where would I go at the dead of the night?
Get out, get out. I will rest now.
Why are you looking at me?
Miss, your hand...
My hand's fine, it's fine.
Take it easy!
How did you get injured? Does it hurt?
Did you get hurt anywhere else?
Shut up, so noisy!
It's just a scratch!
Relax.
No, no. It's too dangerous here.
We have to leave at once! If your father knows about this,
he will kill me for sure!
Just try to move.
Miss, what are you doing this for?
You don't want to be the Princess of Xiliang.
But you insist on coming here, following that Zhao Zi Long everywhere and suffering hardships!
The way I see it, he doesn't even bear you in his mind!
Don't ever mention Xiliang again.
Open the door.
General Zhao.
General Zhao, why are you here?
I came to take a look at your wound as ordered by the Lord.
If His Highness hadn't ordered you, you wouldn't have come, right?
This is also something His Highness made you bring?
Yes.
His Highness made you come here...?
I will ask you. If it wasn't for me today,
how could you have seized the assassin so easily? A huge part of the credit should belong to me.
Shouldn't you express some gratitude for what I have done?
Thank you, Miss Niu. I'm forever grateful.
Since you are thankful, there should be some gifts, shouldn't there?
Do you still remember what I've said before? When giving girls presents,
there are two things that work the best.
Forgive me, I still don't understand.
Then, I can only say it straight.
Do you still remember the shop that sells gowns?
There's a headpiece which I really love. How about you get me that as a gift?
This...
Don't think I am taking advantage of you!
This is just an expression of gratitude.
I understand you alright. If you don't return the favour to those who have helped you, you'll feel guilty for sure!
This is just a present. Am I making it difficult for you?
No, not at all. Miss Niu, please rest well.
I will take my leave.
Gilded jade.
What about this one?
This is imported from the western regions and transported here using camels
Thirty.
Thirty? So expensive?
My shop has been open for more than a decade.
My prices are said to be the most fair by everyone.
If you think it's expensive, there are cheap ones here.
Take this one. This one's cheap.
Isn't the price difference between these two too much?
Give me the bracelet from before. I didn't say I don't want it!
What are you looking for? Let me help you.
This bracelet... looks quite good.
Madam, you have such a keen eye.
This bangle is the best piece of jewelry in this shop.
It's such a coincidence that you spotted it at once.
It's really destined to happen!
How much?
Fifty.
You really know how to do business.
What other good things do you have in this shop? Take them all out for me.
When my daughter gets marries, I'll make sure that she has the best gown and jewelry.
Yes, yes.
Look, there's this one.
You are lucky to have come today.
Look at this one.
The Luminous Stone from Yasha.
Look.
Look at this coloured marbled.
How much?
Adding that one, it would be 170 altogether.
Miss.
Alright. Wrap up everything for me.
Not bad.
Wait!
Old Lady, you absolutely cannot believe him! Just now, he said this bracelet was thirty.
It turned into fifty for you!
That's right!
Little Miss, what nonsense are you talking?
I can prove it! She's not lying!
You dirty businessman!
Admit it, you're trying to swindle money from an old lady!
I am doing proper business here. Don't you dare to accuse me of something I've not done!
Dirty businessmen who cheat seniors of their money is something I can't bear to see.
If you don't return the money to the old lady,
I will smash your shop!
Be careful of what you say.
Security! Teach her a lesson!
- It's her right? - It's her!
There's one thing that I hate most in my life, and that's people who try to cheat me.
Thank you, Miss.
If not for you, I would have been cheated.
I did't help at all. You have such impressive martial arts skills. I really admire that.
Little Lady, you are warmhearted and brave.
You are even stronger than many men.
Why not come to my residence for tea?
Let's have a good chat.
That's great! I've just arrived at Nanxu.
Madam, you have to tell me where to have fun.
No problem.
I will even prepare the most delicious food in Nanxu for you.
Old Lady!
I don't know where your home is. How can I find it?
Look for the largest place of residence.
The largest residence?
Good. I will wait for you.
Miss, the largest residence?
Then, let's take a look.
Shuang Er, do you know?
When Zi Long was in Changshan, he had a nicknamed called Iron Mask.
He has a strong sense of justice and is always ready to help the weak. Now that's what I call a true hero!
Miss, you have not stopped talking about Zhao Zi Long for a second.
I've listened to you so much that I can recite all those things!
How can you describe Zi Long's elegant demeanour
with your lack of ability to speak well?
Miss, since you're such a good speaker, shouldn't you think about what to say when you see him?
You don't understand.
Zi Long and I have experienced so much together, communication using words are simply too supercifial.
Zi Long and I can understand each other just by looking into each other's eyes.
Really? In my opinion, the person who understands you the most
is the man named Pang Tong.
Watch your tongue, little girl.
Fine. By the way, Nanxu is a big place.
How can we find the mind reader that you speak of? [referring to Zi Long]
I'm not even worried, what are you worried about?
As long as Zi Long is still in Nanxu, I'm sure we will definitely meet.
- Does it look good? - Yeah.
This place is so grand! Miss, it has to be here.
We're at the Sun Residence.
What's the matter? Is this not the place?
Do you know who lives in the Sun Residence?
Who else could afford to live in such a luxurious place besides Sun Quan?
You mean the Lord of Dongwu, Sun Quan?
Hold on, is that old lady related to Sun Quan?
If she's really related to Sun Quan, then the gods are on my side!
Miss, what are you saying? I don't understand.
The reason why Lord Liu came to Dongwu is to marry Sun Quan's sister.
If we can get into the Sun Residence, it would be so easy to find out where Zi Long is.
Go, go, go. Let's go quickly.
Empress said that two ladies would come. It must be you two.
Empress?
Yes, yes, yes. It was the Empress who invited us.
Go.
I, Bao Yue, pay my respects to you, Madam... I mean, Queen Mother.
I, Shuang Er, pay my respects to you, Queen Mother.
Lady Bao Yue is indeed clever. I like that.
- Here, here, here. Sit. - Thank you, Empress.
Just now I heard from Shuang Er that you just arrived in Nanxu.
Then, where did you come from?
I don't know where I came from either.
What does that mean?
Both my parents passed away, I lost my family long time ago.
That's why, I am roaming around everywhere. I don't know where to go either.
How can it be like this?
From what I can see, Miss Bao Yue,
you seem to be a highborn.
I won't hide the truth. I used to be Youzhou's Princess.
But my father was killed by Yuan Shao.
I didn't even get to see him one last time.
Youzhou?
Then, your father must be Gong Sun Zan?
That's right.
Although I've never met your father,
but I've heard of his matters before.
For the sake of his dignity, he set himself on fire.
He deserves to be called a hero and a brave man.
Lady Bao Yue, you need to accept fate.
I have never talk to anyone about this
Queen Mother, you remind me of my family.
Forgive me for my rudeness.
Good girl. You meeting me must be fate.
Let's do it like this. I will accept your as my daughter.
In the future, our Sun residence will be your home.
You can stay as long as you want to.
Are you going to reject me?
No, no, no!
I am just too happy.
I never thought that I can find a place to call home again.
Thank you, Empress. I can have a family again.
You are like a child!
In the future, you will not only have a family,
but also an elder brother and elder sister.
An elder sister? Are you talking about Sister Sun Shang Xiang?
My daughter also likes to practice martial arts.
I'm sure you will get along well with each other.
Miss, you're awesome.
Forgive me. I am Sun Shang Xiang.
You must be Sister Bao Yue.
