Episode 05
Xiaotan.
Your temper changes so fast.
You cursed his highness bitterly before.
But now use the tonic soup to please him.
I've to be humble in such an inferior situation.
I count on him now.
And can't go back at present.
I've offended his highness many times.
Time to fawn on him.
So that I can make my life here easier.
His highness got hurt when hunting.
It's quite a good chance.
I still have the ability to observe this.
Crucian soup is good to wound healing.
Why did you stew this soy trotter soup?
You don't know this.
Trotter is rich in collagen.
It can not only heal the wound.
But maintains beauty and keeps young.
Liushang bows in respect before your highness.
Heard that mister Liushang is of decorous appearance.
Scintillating with wit.
Very honored to see you today.
Your highness are lenient and benevolent.
Degage yet not arrogant.
And think twice before planning.
I do admire your highness.
I'm flattered.
I've asked you to come here many times.
But you were traveling around. No one knew your whereabouts.
Since you come to me now,
you've thought it clearly?
Mars hovers around Antares. Mistbow penetrates the sun.
Dongyue's political situation changes.
There must be a fierce battle.
Maybe I'm not that capable,
I still want to do my part.
Mister, let's talk about this in my study.
Please, your highness.
Xiaotan.
Seems his highness has political affairs to discuss.
Let's send the trotter soup some other day, okay?
Okay, let's go.
Isn't it brother Liancheng's exclusive arrow?
Why you got this, Mister?
I've been in Donyue for days.
And concealed my identity
to observe the situation in Dongyue.
When I found Wei Zongheng stole your exclusive arrow,
I then realized what he was plotting.
So I went to arrange in the hunting ground in advance.
And watch closely the assassin Wei Zongheng sent in secret.
After they gave the first shot.
I then gave another one.
It was urgent back then.
Thus made your highness get hurt.
Thank you for your precise devisal, Mister.
So that I didn't fall into Wei Zongheng's trap.
It's okay, your highness.
Since that.
We can use Wei Zongheng's frame
to pull noble consort Dugu down.
Father bewares of me.
I can't take any rash action.
Should wait the timing.
Now his majesty strongly favors and trusts
Wei Zongheng and noble consort Dugu.
If your highness wanna check into it.
His majesty must doubt your intention.
Then will guard against your highness more.
So we need to wait the timing.
Mister, you're really thoughtful.
But I thought it too simple.
If brother Liancheng wants to be the crown prince.
We only need to beware of framing by
Wei Zongheng and noble consort Dugu.
How could it be that simple
to be the crown prince?
I need to get the support of other ministers as well.
More than bewaring of noble consort Dugu,
your highness also need to get the support of other ministers.
Your thoughts coincide with mine.
I know a little about astronomical phenomenon.
Recently, there will be a Yellow River flood once in a decade.
If your highness take prevention measures well,
deliver provisions to that area.
You can then get the support of those good ministers.
A guarantee for being the crown prince.
You're right, Mister.
However...
Are you sure about the flood?
I still have doubts about that.
Rest easy, your highness.
Don't miss this chance to win honor.
Mister, you give such a precise plan to me.
I'd like to hire you as my adviser with a high commission.
Your highness, I'm just a common civilian.
Don't need so much money.
How about letting me live in your mansion?
For one thing, I hasn't had a place to live in.
For another, it's convenient for our discussion.
You wanna live in my mansion.
That's good.
Thank you, your highness.
But I don't understand one thing.
Why you choose me?
Your highness, do you remember
you once saved a drowning kid over a decade ago in Nancheng?
You're that kid?
After you saved me.
I met a venerable old man by chance.
Then I learnt from him, and got some skills.
Brother Liancheng and Liushang even have such a kismet.
Your highness, there is a hot spring in suburban Mt. Yumen.
Very effective to heal wounds.
Your highness can have a try.
Thank you for telling me that.
I may excuse myself.
Brother Liancheng.
Mister Liushang is full of wits, courage and insight.
Really deserves his reputation.
Mister Liushang
could know what I was thinking.
Your highness.
Mister Liushang said he helps you
to requite your favour.
But I feel.
He is kinda weird.
I don't like physical contact with others.
I got him up out of sincerity.
But he avoided me.
Brother Liancheng, what are you thinking about?
Nothing.
Mister Liushang is really doubtful.
I'll test him later.
Your way of appearance-changing is really awesome.
I only used twen...
No, it's wrong.
Twenty percent of my power.
I warn you.
This mask must be kept away from water.
Or it will fall off easily.
You don't have better silica gel?
Silica gel?
What's that?
Enough. Forget it.
Brat.
Time to fulfill your promise.
Who the hell are you?
Why do you know so much about Dongyue?
Besides.
Who's the host of the soul-suppressing orb?
Do you observe the astronomical phenomenon?
When Mars hovers around Antares,
you'll see the host of the soul-suppressing orb.
Brat, you're fooling me again, right?
Now tell me who is the host.
Otherwise,
I... I... I...
I will destroy the mask.
As you like.
If you destroy the mask,
I'm afraid you will never know
who's the host of the soul-suppressing orb.
You...
You're so naughty, do your family know that?
As for...
Why I know so much about Dongyue.
Seems, you take no interest in that.
No. No. I'm interested. Very interested.
Hurry tell me. Tell me.
Tell me.
I once stayed with you.
So of course I know
who you are.
As for who I am,
I'm also the eighth prince of Dongyue.
And the eighth prince from the future.
Because of space-time furcation,
I came here,
Donyue years ago.
And I met myself at this time.
That means there are two Mo Liancheng in Dongyue.
You said the truth?
If you didn't tell a lie.
That's incredible.
You mean
because of some weird astronomical phenomena,
the future you came here by accident.
Two of you are here.
You two didn't disappear.
But coexist here.
Amazing.
So many unbelievable things in the big world.
Master.
I have another question.
Why I would feel electric shock in my hand when I touched
prince Yihuai and prince Liancheng?
And would keep shaking.
Why?
Seems we two don't have the electric shock feeling.
According to your words,
you came from the future.
That means you don't belong to this world.
Because of mutual generation and restriction
two of you can't fully coexist.
So that's why you would feel electric shock when touching prince Laincheng.
This may be a warning of restriction.
So don't touch any family of you.
General Wei, explain it to me.
Ease your anger, your highness.
Someone hid in the hunting ground.
I didn't expect that.
I suspect it's the
a new adviser of prince Liancheng's mansion,
named Liushang did that.
Thus destroyed our plan.
I also heard some about Liushang.
It's said he is of great wits.
Now he has been prince Liancheng's man.
It's even worse for us.
Look at these flowers.
They mean a lot to me.
You...
Why you hide? I didn't beat you, okay?
You... Get lost!
Is this my flower?
Butler Zhou.
Chief butler!
Chief butler.
Mister. Mister.
Didn't you say you will move here days later?
Why you're here today?
I have some urgent thing to discuss with his highness.
Is he home?
Mister, I'm sorry.
His highness and guard Yu left fifteen minutes ago.
They went to heal the wound in the hot spring of Mt. Yumen.
I know that.
Butler.
Why your flower...
Speaking of this, listen.
Look, mister.
These flowers really mean a lot to me.
When they're about to blossom,
do you know how happy I was?
But they didn't take good care of them.
Mister, I...
Mi... Mister...
Mi...
General Wei.
You must find a solution fast.
Your highness.
I have an idea.
Let some other people finish the job.
Use prince Yihuai
to get rid of prince Liancheng.
I'm listening.
Prince Yihuai and the second daughter of minister Qu,
Qu Tan'er are in love since young.
Them two are serious about each other.
After the Qu's got confiscated.
Qu Tan'er became a maid in Prince Liancheng's mansion.
We can use Qu Tan'er
to turn those two prince against each other.
At that time,
We'll just need to sit and watch.
Clear up the mess
after they fight.
Then Dongyue will be in your highness' hand.
Summon Qu Pan'er here.
Yes, your highness.
Greetings, my lady.
Jingxin told me, she often bullies the real Qu Tan'er.
She must have some evil agenda
by coming here today.
What are you doing here?
We're sisters.
Of course I'm here to see you.
I heard you're doing well in here.
Have been promoted as a female official.
Of course.
I'm Qu Xiaotan.
It's not hard for me
to be promoted as some official.
The noble consort also treats me well.
Look, this bracelet.
She bestowed it to me.
I heard it's a sacrifice gift from Xiyue.
The color and vein of it.
This must worth a lot!
I hate to be compared with others.
Why we didn't have such a supervisor?
Qu Tan'er. You!
How dare you broke the bracelet
bestowed by the noble consort?
What punishment would that be?
I gave that to you.
How could it be broken?
Who is making such a noise here?
I couldn't even take a little nap?!
What happened?
Butler Zhou.
It's Chief butler.
Chief butler.
Qu Tan'er is bodacious.
She just broke the bracelet bestowed by the noble consort.
What?
That's bad. That's bad.
That's huge!
Qu Tan'er.
You're always bodacious.
How dare you broke the bracelet bestowed by the noble consort?
You...
I must punish you hard today!
Qu Pan'er.
You set me up.
You did that on purpose!
Qu Tan'er.
You not only broke the bracelet bestowed by the noble consort.
And you dare to deny it?
I'll teach you a lesson today!
Watch out, Miss Pan'er.
Miss, let me help you.
This is my mansion.
It's not a place where a maid like you can bully people.
Qu Tan'er is a female official here.
She belongs to me.
If you dare to hurt her.
I'll make sure you suffered.
Your highness.
Qu Tan'er is so bodacious.
She broke the bracelet bestowed by the noble consort.
Should be punished.
Butler Zhou.
Your highness.
This bracelet was broken with a sharp cut.
Drop it won't do that.
But man-made sabotage.
If you don't believe it.
I can summon a jade craftsman to authenticate it.
When we got the truth.
I'll be charged by slander.
Your highness. Your highness.
I...
I was just joking with my little sister.
I may broke the bracelet by myself.
That has nothing to do with Qu Tan'er.
Qu Pan'er!
How dare you frame me for that?
You have no conscience!
Qu Pan'er.
I won't take it seriously this time.
But if
you dare to play tricks in my home again.
Bully my servant.
Don't say I didn't warn you first.
I'll remind you this also.
Help others
against your own sister.
You'll get yourself in more trouble!
butler Zhou.
Yes.
As the butler of my house.
You should protect our people.
How could you punish our people
without investigate it first?
What's not what a butler do.
Tell all the servants.
All of them should show respect to Tan'er.
Yes, your highness.
Now go.
Send Qu Pan'er out.
Miss Pan'er.
- Qu Pan'er, you... - Xiaotan.
Tan'er.
Come with me.
Light up lamps in another late autumn
When will you come back since swallows already have?
Shall I take off these faded red characters or not?
I miss you so much that I feel heartbroken
Stop there!
Red cloth and satin are reflected in the mirror
I'm alone in the south
Give me the divorce announcement.
I'm not satisfied.
Mo Liancheng, you bastard.
How dare you lie to me?
Is he in love with someone now?
That disgusting smile.
I sincerely hope you're doing well
The beauty expects her man day and night
Sewing and stitching to express her deep love
Come help me change my clothes.
This prince is the most crazy person I've seen.
He wants to change clothes
in the middle of the day!
In the letter she only says everything is fine
My belt.
Play the zither to calm my heartstrings
Only the wind can bring back your smell
I sincerely hope you're doing well
The beauty expects her man day and night
Sewing and stitching to express her deep love
But how can she let you know her loneliness?
In the letter she only says everything is fine
You hooligan!
Impudence!
How dare you disrespect me?
Bastard.
How dare he kiss me?
But he has got the skills.
I didn't expect
I would enjoy it
Do you have someone in mind?
Has he confessed his love to you?
Is he trying to woo me?
Seems I'm pretty charming.
Your highness.
Someone was trying to please me.
And confessed his love.
But I wasn't sure about my own feelings.
How does he look?
He is very handsome.
His appearance is like nine out of ten score.
But not that handsome as your highness.
Your highness is full score.
Full score.
It's getting late.
You may leave.
Remember,
Don't mention this to anyone, not even me.
Otherwise, you'll be punished.
Got it?
Your Kan trigram is water.
Got many vertical stripes on your lower palm.
Means abundant with water.
That equals abundant romance.
You may meet your prince charming lately.
He is from a rich family.
You're so lucky.
Xiaotan, have some water.
Jingxin, I'll let you jump the queue.
Birthday.
Ninth in lunar June.
Lunar June is the July in solar calendar.
Birthday in July.
That's a Cancer or a Leo.
My Jingxin is so gentle and virtuous.
You're a good wife and mother in nature.
That is to say,
You're definitely a Cancer.
Whoever marries you will be the luckiest man!
Xiaotan.
My turn, my turn
My turn.
Easy, easy, order.
The fifteenth of lunar August under the full moon.
Go fifty step south out of the south gate of the mansion.
Just stand there and wait.
You'll meet someone in destiny.
So magical.
Well, I'm not judging.
But you earth signs are always so entangled.
If you like someone, tell him.
Why did you cry?
Exactly.
Xiaotan.
I wish we could always have fun like this every day.
But butler Zhou wouldn't let us.
What's the zodiac sign of butler Zhou?
Butler Zhou?
Not any of these twelve zodiac signs.
He belongs to another special sign.
Called Skunk zodiac sign.
Then the butler of Qu's must also a Skunk sign.
Xiaotan, do you remember
When we were young.
we made fun of the butler of Qu's?
We put pepper in his cup.
He was furious and yelled a lot in the yard.
What are you talking about?
Xiaotan, Xiaotan.
Check mine.
I'm sixth of lunar August.
Why don't Xiaotan even remember the things in childhood?
Your love life isn't quite well lately.
But don't worry.
Bad luck in love life, but good luck in casino.
Go north, there's a casino.
Try some small wager.
You might win a lot.
Are you all set now?
Used to it?
If you need anything.
You can tell the butler.
Thank you for your concern.
I'm all fine.
It's just I don't have anyone helping with chores.
Could I borrow your female official for that?
Will your highness grant that?
Why did he want Qu Tan'er specially?
Is there any reason behind it?
Your highness.
Although Qu Jianglin is exiled.
But politics changes fast.
This female official is the second daughter of minister Qu.
I want to know more about Qu Jianglin from her.
We must be prepared.
Why did he always know what I'm thinking?
Your highness
your highness.
Could you grant my request.
I'll tell Tan'er.
Thank you, your highness.
Now that Wei Zongheng and noble consort will not give up.
If your highness needs to go out.
Must keep alert.
Of course.
You're very talented.
I hope you'll be loyal to me.
