Episode 4
Ruoxi
The autumn breeze causes leaves to fall.
They are all weeping and in pain.
They don't wish to fall to the ground.
But in the end they cannot escape their fate.
Are you bemoaning the short-lives of flowers?
And hating the songs of birds?
In a few days, when you feel better,
you won't feel this way
and be hurt by every little thing.
Ruoxi
You really like 10th brother, is that right?
That's right. I really like him.
He is silly and straightforward, genuine and carefree.
He carries no burdens of propriety.
He made me happy.
The most important thing is
he was sincere towards me.
But, the kind of like I have
is not what you guys think it is.
He is just my very good friend.
Then, why do you feel sad about 10th brother's marriage?
Everyone is saying
Thirteenth sister, because of tenth's brother's marriage,
has gone crazy from depression.
I am sad
not because of his marriage.
But because his marriage
is being forced on him by another person
He doesn't want to.
Such words of treason...
you are not allowed to repeat it
You hear me?
Do you hear what I said?
Eighth brother!
Do you hear?!
Are you crazy?
That 'person' you're referring to is the sovereign of the nation!
Eighth brother is doing it for your own good.
You guys will never understand.
In the society I lived in before,
the hard work being put in today
can determine tomorrow's outcome.
I definitely cannot accept
someone else deciding my fate for me.
I may be in the Qing Dynasty,
But I will not accept it.
Second Miss.
What's wrong?
Why are you so cold?
Pour a cup of warm tea for Second Miss.
Yes.
Go to the kitchen and prepare some ginger soup.
Yes.
Is it because I hit Mingyu?
That she has to marry Tenth prince?
Or is it because
she is taking revenge on me
that she is intentionally marrying him?
Whether you slapped her or not
she would still have to marry Tenth prince.
We are all chess pieces that belong to the Emperor.
You look at the Emperor
and think that he suddenly had the idea.
But in fact, it was Hui Fei
following his intentions
She chose the appropriate time
and acted out a show with His Majesty.
Ruoxi, you must remember.
In the Forbidden City,
all the prestigious positions were
given by the Emperor.
With one smile, he can bless a person.
But in a fit of temper,
lives can be lost.
A man's entire clan can be exterminated.
It's just an arranged marriage.
But you must still follow the rules and etiquette.
Only then can you live in peace.
Understand?
Jie'jie, don't worry
I know.
Second Miss is looking better every day.
Yeah, she's not moping about falling leaves and fate.
The two of you are growing bolder and bolder.
You even dare to mock me now?
When?
We're happy for you.
Ruoxi
Greetings Fourteenth prince
Rise
You may take your leave.
Your servants take their leave.
Is something the matter?
i would like you to go and console 10th brother.
Ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival,
10th Brother has not been to court.
He keeps saying he's not feeling well.
Father has asked after him many times.
If this goes on,
I am afraid Imperial father
will send an imperial physician to see him.
Then, what do you want me to do?
Go and see him.
Treat his heart woes.
Come. Ruoxi
I won't go in, go in quickly
I haven't thought of what I should say.
Just offer him some words of advice.
Go.
I...
Go!
I have already said not to disturb me.
Get out. Get lost!
You can hurt someone like that.
Do you intend to continue drinking like this?
Being drunk,
does that change the fact that you have to marry Ming Yue Ge'ge?
My heart is troubled.
Over what?
You still don't know what I am frustrated about?
One, you don't like Mingyu Ge Ge.
But you have to marry her.
Two, you like me.
But you cannot marry me.
Are you willing to be my Ce'fujin?
Don't worry. I will treat you very well.
I promise...I am not willing to.
I know.
Even if I ask you to be my Di'Fujin
is not something you would agree to.
But,
I still held a thread of hope.
Right now,
it's even more impossible.
Now that you understand everything,
you should make a clean decision.
Be a decisive person.
Don't worry your brothers.
Or anger the Emperor
I've already given in to my Imperial Father's wishes.
You mean I can't even throw a small tantrum?
If you've given up on the larger picture,
why bother
prolonging your misery on the small matters?
Ruoxi, have you ever liked me?
I did.
Actually, I'm still happy.
The truth is...
These past 2 days
I 've wanted to ask you face to face
but was scared to hear your answer.
Scared that it would be an answer I didn't want to hear.
So I didn't dare to ask
Growing up
everyone thinks I am stupid
I don't study hard or improve.
But little to they know
that I have already tried my best.
No matter how hard I try,
I cannot be like Fourth brother, Eighth brother,
and Fourteenth Brother.
They remember everything in one glance.
But even after reading it thrice, I still can't remember it.
Imperial Father's words,
they understand them very quickly
But,
even if I crack my skull, I can't understand it.
I'm impatient,
and I'm reckless and rush into things.
Everyone is laughing at me behind my back.
Only Eighth brother...
Only Eighth brother looks after me.
He constantly advises me.
Ruoxi
Am I very stupid?
Stupid
If you're not stupid, how could I have bully you?
But, it's because you're stupid
that I really like to play with you
Because when you're happy, you're happy
Not happy, then you're not happy
If you like something, you go all the way.
And the same if you don't like something.
Not like those people
who beat around the bush.
Their heart is watchful, but their faces are smiling.
Which is why, in front of you,
I can laugh out loud when I'm happy,
and throw a tantrum when I'm not happy.
Do you know
when I'm with you I'm happy,
very happy.
I was also very happy.
Very happy.
Ruoxi takes her leave.
It's snowing?
Yeah
It was still sunny yesterday,
but there was snow everywhere in the morning.
This way, Second Miss.
I can do it myself.
Do you like standing so much?
Such a charismatic man.
The "8th Virtuous Prince".
But because of a throne
is hated by his own father.
Stripped of his title. Imprisoned till death.
Second Miss, please.
If I don't go back,
Jie'jie will get worried.
Li Fu.
Master.
Send Second Miss back.
Yes.
Feelings. No feelings.
For fun. For real.
What the heck do you want?Ruoxi.
Coming.
Ruoxi
Jie'jie, I'm coming!
Why are you so flustered?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Jie'jie, sit.
His Majesty gave the 10th prince a new residence.
The wedding is in three day's time.
I will be accompanying Bei'le there.
Are you going?
Why make things complicated?
It's best that I don't go.
That's fine.
I will help you explain.
Don't always looks so distracted and uneasy.
You'll make people worry.
I'm leaving.
Second Miss
Aside from the major festivals and events when she has to pay her respects to Di'fujin,
she usually does not walk around.
The other side is already unhappy,
if you don't attend Mingyu Ge'ge's wedding,
I'm afraid that Madame will be blamed again.
They will say we have no manners.
What's wrong?
No matter how grand a house is
it's still just a gilded cage.
You promised me
that you won't make a scene today.
Jie'jie, don't worry.
Death-defying 13th sister
is here to attend a wedding.
To drink nupital wine.
I'm not here to make a mess.
Let's go.
Jie'jie
Head in first.
I want to take a breather outside.
I'll go look for you in a bit.
Alright.
Maertai Ruoxi
It's 10th brother's big day today.
No matter what, you still need to smile.
Greetings Fourth prince
Rise.
There are rumours
that you have gone crazy over 10th brother.
But based on my knowledge of your personality,
it's unlikely that you would fall for my straightforward 10th brother.
But then you look so forlorn now.
So I can't be sure either way.
Are you trying to pry an answer out of me?
Or are you looking for someone to commiserate with?
Since we've already met,
I might as well just ask.
Six words:
Make the best out of it.
Understand?
The strongest wood can break.
The donkey does not match a horse's mouth.
Your idiom is wrong.
My language isn't good.
Only you can use idioms.
Tenth prince, I am begging you
Please go out.
Don't just sit here.
Please go out.
Tenth prince, I am begging you.
Eighth princeFourteenth prince
What to do?Go prepare.
Your master will come out in a bit.
Yes.
What?
You're already here but you still want to hide?
Eighth brother
This sucks.
A Ge'ge from the Guoluoluo family
is someone not everyone can have
What are you unhappy with?
Then, what about Eighth brother's Di'fujin?
Do you love her?
You don't...Tenth brother
How can you say that to Eighth brother?
Ming Hui was granted to me by Father as my Di'fujin
She is Hechu'hefu's precious girl.
Just based on these two points,
The position of the 8th prince's consort
is rightfully hers.
And there can only be her in this lifetime.
This is my answer.
As a prince,
even if you have all the riches in the world,
there are still sacrifices to be made.
Eighth brother
An upstanding man
cannot be brought down by the tangles of love.
Marry a wife that can help you in future,
that can make Imperial Father happy.
That's the most important.
Love between man and woman
is but a lovely dream.
It is not everlasting.
Since you are so afraid of the cold,
why stand out here in the chilling wind?
Why aren't you drinking inside?
I asked you first.
Greetings Thirteenth prince.
The one waiting for your greetings
is inside the house.
Rise.
Today, you and I are both of mourning hearts.
Why don't you be my companion?
What's wrong with Thirteenth Prince today?
Two people of saddened hearts?
Maybe
he likes Mingyu Ge'ge?
Take a sip.
Take another sip.
You wait here.
Heavens,
in the future, I will never irritate Mingyu Ge'ge again.
This Thirteenth Prince is too fearsome.
A lighter?
Your Imperial Father was the one who married your sweetheart to someone else.
This isn't related to me at all!
Please don't torture me any longer!
I don't want to die for no reason
by your bullying hands
No way, big brother.
I don't have your capacity for liquor.
Master, Madam.
I've been to the 13th prince's residence to ask.
13th prince is not in,
and no one knows where he is.
Send some reliable men
to wait outside his residence.
Don't alert anyone else.
Report back once there is news.
Yes.
Although 13th brother is tenacious
and headstrong
he knows what he can and cannot do.
If Ruoxi is with him,
she should be safe.
Nothing will go wrong. Don't worry.
I'll stay here tonight.
Until Ruoxi returns.
Why don't you go and rest?
Come. Thirteenth prince
Let's drink to the ever-unchanging moon.
Cheers!
Look at the moon!
It's no different from
that of 300 years later
Do you know?
In the past,
you were nothing more than a name in the book to me.
I never thought
that I'd be able to drink with you today
I was drunk before in the past
when I was at "san li tun".
I secretly drank a little when I was schooling
I drank tequila!
But
today, I feel OK after drinking
O what?
OK!
What does that mean?
No problem.
Look at you. Talking nonsense
after drinking.
I'm not from your era
I am
from there
I'm from 300 years in the future.
But it's so weird
How did I end up in the Qing dynasty?
And I've even become some
Second Miss of the Maertai family
And I still have to join the selection for the Imperial harem
Tell me
What is a present day person
doing in an Imperial harem selection?
Alright. It's time to go back
Master, Madam
Madam, wake up quickly
Master, Madam
They're back
Second Miss is back. She just got back
Go take a look and see if there's anything she needs
Yes
Be careful
Be careful not to hurt her
Slowly
Go to the kitchen
See if they've prepared the ginger soup yet.Yes.
Are you done?
Yes
Let me ask you
Where did you go with Thirteenth prince yesterday?
Why did the both of you drink so much wine?
Tell me
Comfortable
Ling ah~
Jie'jie
Second Miss
Second Miss, wake up
Thirsty
I'll pour you a glass of water
Second Miss, here's your water
What's the time now?
It's already evening
You've slept for a day
My head hurts
Second Miss, you drank so much wine How would your head not hurt?
I drank too much.
What's too big?
I drank too much.
You
Second Miss
Why don't you wash up and eat with Madam?
She's been worrying about you for the whole day.
All right?All right.
Second Miss
I was hurt I was sad
But it's not in the way you think it is
Ruoxi
Jie'jie, I understand
I promised you
that I wouldn't get in the way of the marriage of Tenth prince and Ming Yu Ge'ge
You've already said it many times
that it could result in a beheading. I know
It's good that you know
Actually, the freedom to love
does not mean that it would result in a relationship.
Blindly entering into a marriage
with no way out,
but they may end up happy for life.
Where did you hear
such weird principles from?
What I'm saying is a fact
Madam, I feel that what Second Miss says makes sense
It's just like us women
who only ask for a good home in life.
And for people to treat us well.
Just like the way Bei'le showed care and concern for you.
It's also because of Madame.
Towards Second Miss' daring and impetuousness,
he's very understanding.
Who's being daring? Who's being impertuous?
Second Miss
Second Miss! You still dare to run?
Your servant runs fast.Stop fooling around.
You're still running?
Stop fooling around. Second Miss!
Second Miss! Stop it.
A few days ago, the Crown Prince
already gave the princes
their consorts, princesses, young masters,
and young mistresses their invitations.
For everyone to gather and celebrate.
I know! I know!
There's only one way to describe it:
"I'm bored
everyone come and accompany me!"
I haven't been feeling too well lately
Tell them I won't be going
Yes
Jie'jie, Madam
Why won't you go?
In my opinion, Bei`le is definitely going.
If Bei'lei goes, Di'fujin will go too
If Di'fujin goes, and we don't,
aren't we going to lose out?
My sister is so great, who does she need to fight with?
But that being said,
riding horses,
even if you're not doing it to win,
and not doing it for rewards,
it's still an opportunity to
exercise the mind and body.
If you're not feeling well,
it's because you're always cooped up in here.
That's why you're sick.
Let's go, Jie'jie.
I don't feel like going
But I want to go so very much
You can stand being stuck in here
but I can't.
The Crown Prince is bored. So am I.
Jie'jie, let's go...
Then tell me, Jie'jie
Why do you not want to go?
You don't like horse riding?
If you don't like horse riding,
then why do you like this painted screen?
Imagine it: A herd of wild-spirited horses.
Prancing about in a
large expanse of grassland.
Even if you don't go there to ride,
just thinking about it would make you happy.
It's better than looking at a painting, right?
Jie'jie, don't you agree?
Miss, are you thirsty?
I'll pour you a glass of water
Qiaohui
I have something to ask you
What do you want to know, Miss?
Come, let's sit and talk
I sit?
Yeah, sit!
Today, the painted screen that my sister was looking at,
seems to have a special meaning to her.
Yeah, she'll think of the General.
Who's the General?
Miss, you don't know?
I'm testing you!
You're testing me again?
You've forgotten it, haven't you?
Actually, it's also a good thing that you've forgotten about it
Why?
Miss, Old Master has already said it
Whoever brings up this topic again will...
This matter seems to be quite serious
The Crown Prince is really interesting.
A horse competition will definitely be fun
Not only do I want to beat the crowd and win all the rewards,
I have to show-off
and let all of the ladies
lose because of me.
Why aren't you getting a move on?
You're only a Tenth prince
Are you expecting to make the Crown Prince wait for you?
I have no intention of making the Crown Prince wait
I...
never said that I'll be going
You're not going?
Why not?
Because you're going
You...
You're really not going?
I'm not going
Then I really do find it a pity for you.
What is there to take pity of?
This kind of scene
will definitely be attended by Ruoxi.
If you don't go,
you won't be able to see your beloved
You couldn't marry her
But it'll still be good to at least see her
What a pity
The two of you simply aren't fated.
Because you definitely cannot go.
Why not?
Because I insist on going
Where are you going?
I'm going horse racing. I'm going to see Ruoxi
and take a look at her. You!
Didn't you say
you won't go if I go?
Weren't you finding it a pity for me?
So if I go now, you'll have to be happy for me.
You...!!!
