[The Female Assassins in the Palace]
[Episode 11]
Your Highness, please spare me!
I already told you the truth!
Please investigate what I said!
I gave you a chance
but you won't take it.
- Cheng Gang! - Present.
Use the pill!
Yes, Sire!
- No... - Your Ladyship...
I'm sorry!
Your Highness, please show some mercy!
Greetings to Your Highness.
- Save me! - Shut up!
Zi Hui, if you only hurried over
in order to save Yu Er
you can forget about it!
I will have an answer out of her today!
Your Highness, I can prove
that Lady Zhaojia is definitely not the hairpin killer.
Zi Hui, you said that the night before we searched for the hairpin
Yu Er was sleeping in your bed chamber
and she never left?
That's indeed the truth.
Imperial Guard Tie invited me to the garden for inspection.
During that period of time Lady Zhaojia was with me at all times.
She never left my side.
If we are to say that she stole the golden hairpin to frame Duan Min
that is certainly not true.
Lady Zhaojia might have done wrong but she is no hairpin killer.
Please judge with reason, Your Highness.
- No... - Batu!
What's the matter?
Your Highness, if Lady Zhaojia is the hairpin killer
then her gang of assassins should know about it by now.
Please think about how the other hairpin killers ended up after they were caught.
They were either silenced or they took their own lives.
But Lady Zhaojia is still fine.
This means that the hairpin killers deliberately let her off.
You mean to say that they led us by the nose
and wanted to make Lady Zhaojia their scapegoat?
That's right.
If that is so
we've fallen for the hairpin killers' trap.
Your Highness, Arch Lord Batu has a point.
Lady Zhaojia could have taken her life.
Those hairpin killers dared to manipulate me like this!
Even if Yu Er isn't a hairpin killer
she can't be pardoned for sneaking into the commander's manor
to destroy evidence of bribery for her father.
Lady Zhaojia showed no regard for the imperial law.
She attempted to destroy evidence. This is a severe crime.
Starting now, she is to be demoted to a civilian.
She is never to enter Arch Prince's manor in her lifetime.
Ge Hai is found guilty of bribery.
He should be sentenced to death.
However, Zhaojia served the prince for years
and hence, Ge Hai is spared from death.
Ge Hai is demoted to a civilian.
All property is to be confiscated.
He is never to become an official.
I thank His Highness for his kindness.
I thank His Majesty for sparing our lives.
Batu, Wei Tang. We solved the bribery case of Ge Hai by chance.
Both of you deserve the credit for it.
I must reward you both.
- Thank you, Your Highness. - Your Highness.
I don't dare to take credit for it. It was Your Highness's wisdom
and my father's teachings that helped.
Your Highness, I also contributed to this case.
Why did you only praise them but not me?
Your Highness, Young Mistress Caidie did contribute greatly to this case.
You still dare to take credit for it?
I told you not to meddle in the case
but you disobeyed me.
You even investigated in private.
It's enough that I didn't punish you.
You still want to take credit for it?
Your Highness, you're biased!
That's what it is.
Only you would dare to act like a spoiled child around me.
Your Highness, Vice Prince Duoluo Huiwu seeks an audience.
- Invite him in. - Yes.
What is my father doing here?
Is he here to bring me home?
Greetings to Your Highness.
Don't stand on ceremony.
Father, what are you doing here?
Don't be rude.
How could you speak at will before His Highness?
It's all right.
Vice Prince Huiwu, what is the matter?
Your Highness, I wish to report to you in private.
All right. Batu and Wei Tang you may be dismissed now.
I'll reward you some other day.
We'll take our leave.
Why aren't you leaving?
I have to leave as well?
Aren't we family?
All right, I'll leave.
Your Highness, I'll take my leave now.
I didn't discipline my daughter well.
Caidie is still young.
Father, hurry up.
What's the rush?
A lady should be appear more dignified.
That's more appropriate.
If you run around so flurried
aren't you afraid that Arch Lord Batu will laugh at you?
I don't care.
If you don't invite Arch Prince to ask His Majesty to bestow marriage soon
what will I do if Arch Lord Batu is taken?
Father!
Quickly!
Father, my happiness lies in your eloquent words.
It should be His Highness's eloquent words.
I have some ideas.
I'll tell you about it later.
Father, I'll go and visit Duan Min.
We'll be strolling in the garden.
After you've visited His Highness
look for me in the garden.
All right, go on then.
- I'll take my leave. - Let's go.
It's decided then.
Yes.
Greetings to Your Highness.
You may rise.
Your Highness... I have a matter to discuss with you in private.
Please report to His Majesty
so as to fulfill my wish.
That's not a problem at all.
Await good news at home.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I'll take my leave now.
Mo Xi, what is the matter?
Duan Min, you should walk around more often when you can.
Don't always stay in your room. It's not good for your health.
I'll keep that in mind.
Guo Xin, you seem to be in really good spirits today.
- Is that so? - Certainly.
Look, I even noticed that you have a new golden hairpin on.
Aren't you scared of the hairpin killer?
What a beautiful embroidered fan.
Who gave this to you?
My oldest brother gave it to me on his wedding day.
Look how happy you seem.
First the fan and then the hairpin.
There must be something joyous going on with you?
I really can't keep anything from you.
All right, I'll admit it.
I've just asked my father to seek an audience with Arch Prince.
He will ask His Majesty to bestow marriage to me.
I think that I'll be married to Arch Lord Batu.
Guo Xin. are you serious?
Of course.
Arch Lord Batu is so distinguished.
There must be many others who like him.
That's why I have to strike first.
That's so mean!
I was the one who discovered the clues.
Great! Both of you are going to be rewarded
but what about me? I got scolded instead.
Exactly.
From discovering something amiss about the hairpin
to solving the case
it was Young Mistress and I who worked so hard.
My mistress should take all the credit for it.
It's fine that Arch Lord Batu was rewarded
but Imperial Guard Tie, you benefited because of us.
Did you hear that?
Even someone as stupid as Bang Chui can be so reasonable and logical.
Do you understand?
Whose credit is it?
Please don't be angry.
I'll ask His Highness to give my reward to you.
What for?
I don't want it.
What's yours is yours and what's mine is mine.
I just want what should have been mine!
Unlike someone who just sits there doing nothing
and just watches.
Who are you talking about?
Whoever answers.
- You... - It's you.
- You... - It's you!
We finally solved a case today.
Could you both stop bickering?
Batu, on that note, you really aren't a good friend.
What?
How could you keep this from me?
If I had been present, I might also be rewarded by His Highness!
Neither of us had any idea what might happen last night.
If it really had been the hairpin killer
it'd have been a matter of life and death.
I didn't tell you for the sake of your safety.
Batu, I didn't know that you were so protective of me.
I am.
Batu, don't forget about what we agreed on last night.
We haven't caught the killers yet. What's the rush?
I'm afraid that you won't keep your promise.
How can I carry out my promise
if we don't catch the hairpin killers?
What promise is that?
Batu, why haven't I heard you mention it?
Why do you keep everything from me?
Young Mistress, what's going on?
Exactly.
I follow you around all day
but I don't know that you and Arch Lord Batu have an agreement.
Was it after leaving the commander's manor
that His Lordship spoke to you about it in private?
- What are you doing? - Shut up.
- Caidie. - Caidie.
- Guo Xin, Duan Min? - Caidie.
Arch Lord Batu...
You can talk to me, Young Mistress Guo Xin.
Batu stayed up all night investigating a case. He's very tired.
- He has no energy at all. - That's good.
I happen to have good news to share with Arch Lord Batu.
He'll surely be energetic after hearing the news.
Why don't you just tell everyone about it?
We have nothing to do anyway.
I have to share it personally with Arch Lord Batu.
Step aside.
Don't spoil my mood.
I won't.
If I were Guo Xin, I'd have beaten her up really badly...
What's the matter, Duan Min?
Are you in a bad mood?
I'm fine. I'm fine...
How dare you! If you still won't step aside, I'll punish you!
I'm not that easily frightened...
Dana, you're not to be rude.
Please don't mind her. Don't get angry.
It's all right.
For your sake, I won't hold a grudge against her.
Thank you, Young Mistress.
Duan Min, listen.
If you hadn't helped me with this case...
Vice Prince Huiwu!
Please halt!
Vice Prince, they are over there.
Over there? Let's go.
- Dana, don't... - You're all here?
- Father. - Father.
- Greeting to the vice princes! - Don't stand on ceremony.
- It's fine. - It's all right.
Thank you, Your Highnesses.
Father, what did His Highness say?
You'll know about it later.
Father, what did you discuss with His Highness?
Why couldn't I be there?
All right, De Bao.
Present.
I am here to convey Arch Prince's orders
to Young Mistresses and Arch Lord.
Arch Lord Batu, Imperial Guard Tie
Young Mistresses Caidie, and Guo Xin, here are your orders.
Arch Lord Batu and Imperial Guard Tie deserve credit
for solving Ge Hai's bribery case.
His Highness reported to His Majesty to reward both of you.
Arch Lord Batu and Young Mistress Caidie both contributed
to solving the bribery case.
Both respective families are friends.
His Highness reported to His Majesty
to bestow marriage to the two of you.
May the friendship between Great Qing and Karchin last forever.
Imperial Guard Tie and Young Mistress Guo Xin.
His Highness reported to His Majesty to bestow marriage to you.
Wei Tang is highly skilled in martial arts.
Guo Xin is beautiful and intelligent.
This is a match made in heaven.
His Highness will be hosting both weddings in person.
Thank you, Your Highness.
- Thank you, Your Highness. -Thank you, Your Highness.
Father, why did it end up like this?
Someone beat me to it.
Father, did you go to Arch Prince to have him ask His Majesty
to bestow the marriage?
I don't want to marry him!
Caidie!
Guo Xin.
Don't sound so affectionate.
You sound respectful to me
but who knows what you really think?
I finally understand what it means to say one thing but do another.
Guo Xin, why would you say that?
You're asking me?
You criticize Batu all day long
but you pushed your father to ask His Majesty for marriage.
The first thing I regret in life is having a sworn sister like you.
Guo Xin, this wasn't my idea.
It was my father! I didn't expect it either.
Don't worry. I'll meet His Highness now
to stop him from asking His Majesty to bestow the marriage.
- I'll let you have the one you love. - I won't dare to ask for that.
I'll ask His Highness myself.
Who knows what you might say to His Highness?
Stop right there!
What are you going to do?
Father, I'm going to seek an audience with His Highness.
Nonsense!
Do you think that you can come and go in the manor as you wish?
You think that anyone can ask to see His Highness?
Can His Highness take back his words so easily?
All right, stop stirring up trouble. Let's go!
- Come home with me. - Father!
- Father, I want to see His Highness! - Come home with me now!
- Father, let me go! - Guo Xin, don't worry!
- I'll go see His Highness to help you! - Go!
- Shut up!
I don't need your sympathy!
I'll prove it to you!
- Housekeeper Wang. - Greetings to Young Mistress.
Blessings to Young Mistress.
Don't stand on ceremony.
Inform His Highness that I have an important matter to discuss with him.
- Hurry up and... - His Highness isn't in.
He isn't in?
Where has he gone?
The second concubine came to look for His Highness
so he has already gone over to her.
I'm on my way there as well.
That's great.
Show me the way. I'll come with you.
- Quickly! - Why don't you tell me first...
Caidie!
Caidie! It's fine now, Housekeeper Wang.
- Go ahead with your chores. - I'll take my leave now.
- All right. - Don't forget to tell His Highness
- that I'm looking for him! - Haven't you done enough yet?
- Come home with me! - It hurts!
It hurts so much! You're breaking my are...
Father, I'm not fooling around!
You're the one!
Why did you bring up the marriage proposal to His Highness?
You got me into big trouble!
The arch lord is right here.
How can you say such inappropriate words?
Listen, this marriage is decided.
If you try to make a scene I'll punish you severely!
Father!
- Take Young Mistress home right away! - Yes!
Young Mistress.
Don't you often say that it's good to know which way the wind is blowing?
For now, just go with the flow
and obey Vice Prince?
Let's go.
Come over here!
Caidie!
Are you all right?
Caidie!
Get back here!
You're putting on such a lousy act with your mistress!
She obviously wants to marry Batu.
Who is she trying to fool?
- It disgusts me to see that. - Dana!
Bang Chui, head back to the manor.
I'll see what I can do.
Arch Lord Batu, my mistress is seriously angry this time.
She might behave inappropriately when she sees His Highness.
You have to hold her back!
I understand.
Batu, wait for me!
Caidie has always been playful.
I still see her as a child.
I can't believe that she is going to be married soon.
Caidie is already eighteen years old.
She's not a child anymore.
Housekeeper Wang.
Young Mistress Caidie?
Young Mistress! Young Mistress!
Housekeeper Wang, I told you that I have important matters to report.
Please inform His Highness.
- Please don't make it hard for me... - It won't do.
Her Ladyship has just given me orders
that no one is to disturb His Highness.
- That's right. - That's right?
This is an important matter!
It's extremely urgent! Inform him now!
Don't make it hard for us. We really can't do that.
I am making things hard for you. So?
- Will you let me in or not? - I can't.
You won't?
I'll barge in then.
Young Mistress!
Please halt!
Young Mistress!
You can't go in! Young Mistress!
- Young Mistress! - Get lost!
- You can't go in! - Your Highness!
- Young Mistress!
You can't go in there!
Caidie has to report an important matter to you!
Your Highness, I'd like to seek an audience with you!
Your Highness!
What is Caidie doing here?
I have no idea what this is about.
Your Highness!
Young Mistress...
Please stop yelling.
You're scaring the wits out of me.
You asked for it! Let me in!
I'm going to see His Highness! Your Highness!
- Your Highness! - Young Mistress...
- Caidie! - Please stop yelling.
You're way out of line!
This is outrageous!
You've totally disgraced me!
Father, you've gotten so good that you already caught up with me?
You're still sassing around?
Come home with me!
- Go! - No, I want to see His Highness.
- Your Highness! - You're not to yell!
Your Highness!
You're not to yell!
Your Highness!
Who says that you're not to yell "Your Highness"?
How are you supposed to address me then?
- Greetings to Your Highness. - Greetings to Arch Prince and Ladyship.
Caidie was behaving without manners.
I was too flustered so I said that without thinking.
Don't stand on ceremony.
I was just joking.
- Caidie. - Yes.
You are so loud.
I can't possibly ignore you.
What's the matter?
Your Highness, it concerns an important part of my life.
Your Highness, since Caidie has matters to report to you
I'll take my leave.
Come on in.
You...
We can't keep it from anyone now.
What?
You want me to take back my orders?
- Qi-E? - Present.
Didn't you say that Caidie and Batu have been engaged since they were little?
Why does Caidie say that it doesn't count anymore?
What is this about?
- This... - Your Highness.
That proposal doesn't count.
Batu was still young then.
It was just words from a child. How can it be taken seriously?
Batu, answer me.
Do you still remember what happened then?
Did Vice Prince Shalu and Huiwu
make a marriage pact?
Your Highness, my brother did mention this matter to me.
That is true.
If that is so, both families had an agreement.
This marriage pact is valid.
Moreover, I've already asked His Majesty for this favor
so the engagement must not be revoked.
Do you understand?
Of course.
- But Your Highness... - No buts.
Are you going to disobey me?
Will you dare to go against His Majesty's decree?
Caidie, you mustn't think that I don't dote on you.
You contributed to solving a case today.
I'll take you as my goddaughter.
From now on, you're a princess.
Aren't you going to thank me?
It's Caidie's honor to be favored by Your Highness.
Thank His Highness for his kindness.
Thank you, Your Highness.
What? I really didn't expect that.
You and Batu were actually engaged since childhood?
Duan Min, look! This is the scar that he gave to me.
It's all right.
The scar is quite small. It doesn't mar my sister's good looks.
Duan Min...
I didn't remember that I was engaged to him at a young age.
Batu got me injured and gave me a scar.
He's lucky that I didn't teach him a lesson for it.
I still have to marry him?
How is that fair?
Is that Batu born to be my nemesis?
Caidie, you're being too dramatic.
Didn't you ask my father to withdraw his orders?
How could I not have done that?
I risked my life to see him.
But His Highness said that he can't take back his word now
as he's already reported to His Majesty.
I nearly offended His Highness and did my best to persuade him.
In the end, it was all for nothing.
Guo Xin even told me off.
Caidie, your marriage with Arch Lord Batu is now decided.
You can't reject it.
As for Guo Xin...
she seems to have misunderstood you.
She didn't just misunderstand me.
You have no idea how badly she scolded me.
It's just because of that Batu!
She even said how much she regrets being sworn to me as a sister.
She's even forsaken our sisterhood for that sort of person!
Yes...
Guo Xin likes Batu very much.
It's understandable that she made such a gesture.
But to say such harsh words is a bit too hurtful.
After all, we are sworn sisters.
How can we let a man interfere with our sisterly love?
Duan Min, it would be great if Guo Xin thought so too.
You don't have to be too worried.
This will take some time.
I believe that after some time Guo Xin will understand.
By then, we'll restore our sisterhood again.
Really?
I really hope so.
Your Highness, the second concubine sends Mi Er over
to invite Princess Caidie to see her.
Why did she ask to see me?
Greetings to your Ladyship.
Blessings to Your Ladyship.
- You may rise. - Thank you, Your Ladyship.
You're indeed a beautiful young lady.
Yet you're also lively and agile.
It's no wonder that His Highness was so eager to have you betrothed.
You're too kind, Your Ladyship.
Don't be shy.
That's what His Highness likes about you.
I heard from Mi Er that His Highness has already taken you as his goddaughter.
We're now family.
Don't keep addressing me as Your Ladyship. That sounds so distant.
Just address me as Auntie.
Yes... Auntie.
Good.
I heard that you found evidence of Zhaojia and her father's bribery case?
His Highness has already driven her away.
Not only are you skilled in martial arts
but your intelligence is also second to none!
No, Auntie. You're too kind.
I was just... lucky.
Don't be so modest around me.
Since His Highness took you as his goddaughter
he will surely host your wedding.
Come over to my place more often.
I have something for you.
- Mi Er. - Present.
Bring me the jade scepter that His Highness gave me.
- I'm giving it to Caidie. - Yes.
No, Auntie... The jade scepter that His Highness gave to you
is too precious.
I couldn't accept it.
Why not?
You found out about Zhaojia who was a pest in the manor.
Not only did you do well in investigating
but you also did me a great favor!
If you won't accept it today
I'll give it to you as your dowry on your wedding day.
Greetings to Your Highness and Your Ladyship.
Mother has a guest?
Your Highness, it's Princess Caidie.
Announce my arrival.
Inform my mother that I'm here to greet her.
Yes.
Your Ladyship, Vice Prince He Qin is here with his concubine.
- Invite them in. - Yes.
Auntie, since they are here
I'll take my leave now.
It doesn't matter. Stay seated.
You can help me advise Tu Er on a thing or two.
It's all right.
- Hong Tu greets Mother. - Man Er greets Mother.
- Don't stand on ceremony. - Thank you, Mother.
Greetings to Vice Prince and Your Ladyship.
Don't be so polite. Have a seat!
Thank you, Your Highness.
- Caidie. - Yes?
I just heard about your news.
Who knew that I'd run into you here?
I heard that you made Housekeeper Wang dumbfounded?
Tell me about it quickly.
What was that about?
Hold on.
Tu Er, answer me first.
What have you been doing these days?
Tell me about it.
Me?
I studied, went horseback riding, watched operas
and went around town.
Or, I had tea with storytellers and chatted with them.
There's more!
As for funerals and mourning
there's a lot to learn.
Mother, if you have the chance you must take a look.
Shut up!
You... Caidie is getting married soon.
You didn't even congratulate her.
All you did was ask about a servant.
You were so interested in a servant.
How inappropriate is that?
Mother, that's not so important.
Caidie isn't married yet.
I have all the time in the world to congratulate her.
You really make me so furious!
Tu Er, can you pay some attention?
Hong Hao is already in the Imperial Court.
He's participating in state affairs.
Even your father thinks highly of him.
However, all you do is fool around.
Mother, everyone knows how capable Hong Hao is.
I'm obviously no match for him.
Mother, when it comes to such matters
we shouldn't take it to heart.
Just let it go.
You make it sound so simple.
I'm worried about you all the time.
I can't even sleep well.
You...
Do you want to infuriate me to death?
Why is there such a useless young master like you?
Auntie, His Highness is just a bit outspoken.
He doesn't mean it.
Don't be angry, Auntie.
Yes. Mother, please don't be angry.
Hong Tu doesn't mean to say that.
It sounds bad even when he says it unintentionally
so if he means it, will I not be so mad that I'll become ill?
Man Er, you should make an effort to keep an eye on him.
I've asked Arch Prince to assign a job to you.
I can't allow you to fool around anymore.
What? Mother, shouldn't you discuss such an important matter with me?
Discuss it with you?
I know what you're like
so I kept it from you!
Your father already said
that he will report to His Majesty. Would you prefer the River Miao unit
or the services department? Choose one.
I won't choose either!
What?
Mother, it isn't that I refuse to do the job.
If I really take part in these matters
everyone will surely compare me to Hong Hao.
It's fine to lose to Hong Hao
but if I get myself into trouble
for not doing the job well
isn't that asking for trouble?
Can't you try to make me proud?
Even an unrefined jade can be made into an object.
So much for treating you as my precious.
You give up before even trying! What a coward!
Did I spoil you?
That's why you ended up like this!
- Mother! - Auntie!
- Your Ladyship! - Calm down.
You'll make yourself ill.
Let go of your anger...
You can keep on talking if you wish to infuriate me further!
All right, Mother.
Don't be angry.
I'll agree to the job.
I'll talk to Father about it later.
Once His Majesty hands down the decree
I'll take a job at the services department.
Will that suffice?
When are you going to see your father?
You might as well do it now.
Fine.
Mother, I'll take my leave now.
I'll take my leave.
Auntie, have a seat.
Have some tea and don't be angry.
If you're unwell, should I summon the imperial physician?
I'm fine.
When I think about what a good-for-nothing Tu Er is
it makes my heart ache.
If only he could be half as witty as you are.
Auntie, Vice Prince is actually very smart.
He just doesn't like to be involved in politics.
If you assist him, I'm sure that he will do well very soon.
I'm not afraid to tell you
I often argue with my father.
When I throw a tantrum, my father thinks that I'm just like a monster.
All he thinks about is how to tame me.
What now?
I'm going to be married soon.
He can stop worrying.
Don't blame your father.
He has his reasons for being hard on you.
I actually sympathize with your father.
Auntie, why would you say that?
Both our fathers were involved in stealing the treasure map.
They both ended up dead
and their stories were often the subject of ridicule.
Whenever anything comes up we are suspected.
Even in broad daylight, others would say that our shadows are darker.
You're smart and lovable.
Your father did well in raising you.
Now that His Majesty has bestowed marriage to you
you'll soon be married to Arch Lord Batu.
Your father will have the Karchins to support him.
That is as good as having reassurance.
Hong Tu should get to know your family now.
Why didn't you ask His Highness to call off the engagement?
Are you really going to marry Caidie?
Arch Prince Chong has already asked His Majesty to bestow the marriage.
That ship has sailed.
Besides, this is the marriage pact that Father made with Vice Prince Huiwu
when I was a child.
Mongolians value our promises more than anything.
I should take responsibility.
As long as you deny it how could His Highness
still force you to marry her?
Moreover, Caidie isn't willing either.
Wouldn't it all have ended well if you had gone along with her wishes?
Batu, answer me.
Do you still remember what happened then?
Did Vice Prince Shalu and Huiwu
make a marriage pact for the both of you?
Have you fallen for Caidie?
That's why you purposely yielded to His Highness's orders?
I have agreed to the marriage but Boerji is yet to be avenged.
How could I be in the mood for romance?
What were you thinking about then?
Are you really thinking about Caidie? Tell me!
- Tell me! - It's enough.
I don't wish to discuss this.
Look at me! Look at me seriously.
You're being unreasonable.
I told you not to talk about this now. Step aside.
Batu!
This won't do. I have to come up with a plan.
Batu mustn't marry that woman.
My dear mistress, you're finally home.
Young Mistress Guo Xin has been waiting for you.
Young Mistress Guo Xin doesn't seem to be in a good mood.
She's not here on friendly terms.
You have to be careful.
I understand.
I'll deal with this.
You went to ask His Highness to withdraw the marriage
but it ended up the same anyway?
Guo Xin, I really did beg His Highness to withdraw the orders
but he refused to do so.
I had hoped that Batu would help me but he wouldn't break off the engagement--
Enough!
Do you mean to say that Batu will marry no one but you?
First you lied to me
and now you're insulting me?
Are you trying to tell me that Batu likes you?
No, Gou Xin...
Don't misunderstand me. I mean...
The imperial decree is like the will of the gods. I can't change it.
I have no choice either. His Majesty's orders are not to be disobeyed.
I really didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Now that it's ended up like this
please don't let this matter affect our sisterly relationship.
I really did all that I possibly could.
Of course you did.
That's why the engagement is still on.
I was still sitting around foolishly waiting for an answer.
I was just asking for humiliation!
Guo Xin! Why would you say that?
I... Listen!
I don't want to marry him!
I don't even understand what is so great about Batu
that you want to marry him!
He isn't even a nice person!
I really don't understand why you have to marry him!
Enough!
If Batu wasn't a good man, I wouldn't have asked to be betrothed to him!
I wouldn't have tried everything to win him over.
If you really don't want to marry Batu
you should kneel before Arch Prince until he withdraws his orders!
You're so despicable.
You even played such tricks
to get His Highness to take you as his goddaughter.
Guo Xin...
My sister... you slapped me because of Batu?
Stop addressing me as your sister!
I never thought that you'd be so despicable.
I don't have such a shameless sister!
Listen up! From this day forth
our sisterhood is broken.
You're on your own.
Guo Xin... How could you treat me like this?
We swore to be sisters in the peach blossom woods.
We promised to stay sisters forever.
Wei Tang! You're drinking too much!
Don't hold me back!
Drink with me if you're my friend!
I really don't understand. It's such an honor that His Highness
had His Majesty bestow marriage to you.
Once you marry a young mistress that makes you a prince consort.
You can have whatever you wish.
You can have great authority and power.
You should be happy about it.
I am happy about it.
I'm so happy that I must drink a lot!
"Let a man of spirit venture where he pleases"
"and never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon."
Here, let's drink up!
You don't seem to be happy at all.
Why do I think that you're about to cry?
Did you ask me here to drown your sorrows with you?
What is the matter with you?
Talk to me about it so I can at least offer you some help!
I have too much on my mind...
No one can help me.
I've known you for so many years
but I've never seen you so sentimental.
"It’s hard to reunite, even harder to say goodbye."
"As the east wind diminishes, all flowers dry."
"Silkworms won’t stop weaving until they die."
"Candles won’t stop weeping until they expire. "
That's enough!
You shouldn't waste wine like this.
Moreover, I thought you dislike Fan Nan Sheng's poems the most?
You said that his poems are too sentimental.
So why are you reciting his poem?
How is this someone who is overjoyed to marry a young mistress?
You seem more like a heartbroken man who was jilted!
This... my friend...
Could it be that you have someone else on your mind?
It's such an honor to be bestowed a marriage by His Majesty.
Why would my own feelings matter?
My friend, I heard that everyone gets cold feet before their wedding
out of anxiety and resistance.
You'll find that everything in the past was wonderful
while the future is shrouded in darkness.
The woman of your dreams has left you
and you ended up with a dragon lady for your wife.
However, I've also heard that
many years later, the woman of your dreams changes
and your dragon lady will become an old woman.
That's why it doesn't matter who you marry.
Stop worrying about it.
Stop drinking. Don't drink so much!
Your health matters the most!
Now that I have run into you, I have someone to chat with
eat with, and drink with.
Young Mistress, this...
What mistress?
How many times have I told you?
You can call me Caidie in private.
Strictly speaking, you were the one who taught me martial arts.
I should address you as my Master.
But you ended up addressing me as Young Mistress.
Isn't that quite awkward?
I'll forgive you this time.
But don't forget about it again.
Wei Tang, you're still the best.
No matter what trouble I got myself into since I was a child
you've always been there to help me.
It seems that I really can't leave you.
Wei Tang!
You've had enough to drink.
You already had so many urns of wine.
If you truly love that woman
you can take her as your concubine after you marry Young Mistress.
I don't think that Young Mistress Guo Xin is that petty.
She wouldn't object to it.
Take her as my concubine?
What a good idea!
What a brilliant idea!
Pardon me, Sires.
It's getting late and I'm closing up soon.
- Please come again tomorrow. - I haven't had 300 cups yet.
How can you close the shop now?
Sire, please don't make it hard for me.
I'll be reprimanded.
Wei Tang, let's leave.
I haven't had enough yet!
We'll drink when you get home.
Stop drinking now.
Let's go.
- Don't be difficult. - Thank you, Sires. Take care.
Let's go!
[Tie Residence]
- Slow down! - Where are you taking me?
- Home! - Home?
I'm going to have 300 cups of wine!
- You can't even stand properly... - I want 300 cups of wine!
Who wants 300 cups of wine?
Greetings to Commander-in-chief Tie.
Chief...
Thank you for bringing my son home.
You're too polite, sir.
- I was just... - It's fine.
You can leave now.
I'll take my leave.
Father...
Wei Tang!
Here, have a seat.
