Epi. 31
Young master.
Since you're unwilling,
you better don’t go to brothel again.
Don’t you know why I go there?
I know.
But I'm not Young Madame.
You have never explain to Young Madame.
It's not strange if she misunderstands you.
I wonder why do I have a boss like you?
Don't you know how to apologize?
You're calm when you're in the battleflied.
Why do you act like an angry cat when you meet young madame?
Our horoscopes are conflict with each other in nature.
I checked both of your horoscopes,
both of you are perfect match.
Well.
I have forgetten you're too free.
Why don't you chit chat with Dong Qu?
Both of you are working hand in glove all the time.
Are you blaming me?
If I'm blaming you, who should I blame?
Jialou is bad temper since she was young.
She has been pampering by me all these while.
So, she went to the brothel to create trouble yesterday.
But, I have asked a lady officer to scold her just now.
For my sake,
please don't take it seriously.
I feel guilty if empress says so.
It's me who act recklessly.
So that there are so much of criticism.
From now onward,
I will repent my previous mistake,
I will no longer do it again.
We're one family.
Formality is not required.
I think your most critical thing now is
not to listen to the rumous outside.
What the most important is your relationship with Jialuo.
Yes.
Please do not worry.
I will treat Jialou wisely.
I will not worry.
Don’t forget that you're selected by my dad personally as his brother-in-law.
Don't tell me that you are not outstanding.
Speaking of which,
Fuyu has sent three pieces of Jake belts as tribute
I keep one for His Majesty.
Another two will be given to you
and Duke of Longxi.
Since you're in the capital,
you can choose first.
Which one do you like?
This will do.
Thank for granting a reward.
Send this together with other presents to Duke of Longxi quickly.
understand?
Yes.
Second mistress is pregnant for five months now.
Duke of Longxi must be very happy.
Empress's gifts are just like icing on the cake.
Mantuo…
Who ask you to say so much?
Oh. Yes.
I just knew that Mantuo is pregnant also.
She will become a mother soon.
You and Jialuo have to put more effort.
When Sir left,
he couldn't even stand properly.
I just hope that this strategy will cut his crush on second mistress totally.
Since ancient times, spoonies are always silly
I really don’t know what make him crush on Mantuo.
How could he bear her in mind constantly?
At this point of time,
he has to let go no matter how.
I think his apologize is sincere.
Once he goes back,
he will make up with young mistress.
That's good.
I won't be worried if so.
His emperor arrives.
Your Majesty.
Don't get up.
Bore.
I heard that you have looked for Yang Jian just now.
What happened?
You can just ask me teach him a lesson.
They just have a small quarrel.
You don’t have to step up for this.
Moreover, I'm afraid that if you step up
Yang Jian will become stubbord again.
What I do now is to comfort him first.
Anyway, I have to take care of his ego.
After all,
you have to depend on Yang's family to stabilize your throne.
You're really thoughtful.
But you may have a hard time if so.
If my dad was still in the world,
I wouldn't have to consider so much.
I would beat him if anyone dares to bully my sister.
Exactly.
It's my fault.
If I'm not so impulsive,
father-in-law…
Your Majesty.
You don’t have to mention what is over.
What the most important thing is to look forward.
Okay.
I will listen to you.
We will look forward.
But, I swear,
I will no longer let you suffer again.
What happened?
Still haven't take shower?
Go. Go. Go.
Young master.
The postman that we sent to Duke of Longxi's mansion is back.
You better let go.
Duke's wife is pregnant.
Young master should feel happy.
Yes.
I should feel happy.
Mantuo has her own baby.
I should feel happy.
Duke.
Madame.
Madame is the cloud in the sky,
I'm just a mud on the floor.
I dare not plot against Madame.
Mom. Mom.
Don’t cry.
Mom.
Mom. Don’t cry.
Second master.
Please help aunty to persuade your dad.
Hurry up.
Dad. Dad.
Please don’t let others to bully aunty.
Okay.
My good son.
Don't cry.
Second brother.
You and aunty Jin leave first.
I have something to talk to dad.
Mother.
Sir.
You're a kind person.
You must investigate it clearly did aunty do that.
There is no witness to proof that aunty Jin passed moschus to Du Juan.
But I found out another matter.
Tell me.
Second brother is not father's biological son.
This is impossible.
Dad.
I'm telling the fact.
When I interrogated second brother's nanny,
she spoke out when she was in frighthen.
Second brother's biological father is not you.
He is Aunty Jin's cousin.
In order to get your favour,
Aunty Jin listened to her brother to….
It's enough.
Stop saying.
Do you have any evidence for this?
I didn’t have evidence.
That's why I was wondering whether I should tell you.
I was thinking it's enough if you punish Aunty Jin this time.
But second brother was just outside.
why second brother refused to do blood test just now?
Dad. Bitch.
Bitch. Dad. Mom.
Bitch.
Mom. Sir.
You this bitch. Sir.
Sir. Bitch.
I didn’t do anything to upset you before.
The examination might be an error.
Send this bitch and bastard out.
Sir.
Killl her cousin.
Sir.
Second master is your biological son. Mom.
Sir.
Mother. Sir.
Sir.
This bitch has been cheating me for seven years.
Report to Madame.
Duke is over infuriated,
his blood vessel of brain is blocked.
Therefore, his vitality is seriously affected.
Even he regains consciousness later,
he has to take rest and nurse back to health wisely.
Better not to have any sex activity lately.
Do not let him exhausted again.
When he wakes up,
you can just tell him so.
Oh. Yes.
You have done a good job for the blood test examination.
How much did successor of family offered you?
Three hundred of gold.
As long as you obey to me,
your little grand daugther will be safe.
Yes. Madame.
I can keep secret.
I will not tell a word.
Successor of family doesn’t know that I'm at your side.
Go to prepare prescription.
Yes. Madame.
Tell steward that duke is illed because of anger.
Aunty in the side mansion should also receive some punishments.
Ask them to kneel outside the house for four hours everyday.
Four hours?
But the weather is getting cold.
My intention is to let them can get sick easily.
The mansion is busy because of Duke's disease.
It's normal that no one is free to give them medical attention.
Husband. Husband.
You see.
You're at this age.
Why do you torture yourself?
Isn't it good to lie down beside me?
Do you still remember the song that you sang when you back to Longxi with me?
The moon in the sky.
Look like a round silver.
The night is windy.
What makes you so free to come here?
The business is well managed since last time,
Yang's family has nothing for me to worry too.
I was thinking that sister is resting in palace during pregnancy,
you may have no place to go.
So I come here to accompany you.
So that you won't feel bored.
Why do I hear that Yang Jian is getting lesser to back to mansion lately?
I don’t know either.
May be he is busy for his work.
Jialuo.
Since dad left,
Dugu family is managed by me.
I know.
You have been blaming dad all the while
and not happy with this marriage arrangement.
But do you understand dad's intention clearly?
You're growing up by me.
I know what is in your mind.
Tell me.
Do you keep proposing to Yang Jian about divorce?
How do you know that?
Jialuo.
You have to know that
Dad was protecting Dugu's family with his life.
And now,
uncle Yang is protecting Dugu's family
by taking a huge risk.
You shouldn't do that.
Relationship is a matter of two persons.
It isn't what I can decide.
Sister. Since you know my personality,
you should understand my situation.
If Yang Jian wasn't cool to me,
I wouldn’t have treat him like that.
Don’t even talk about getting along happily.
We always have quarrel when talking to each other.
Sister.
Are you having same situation with His Majesty?
Jialuo.
you will know how to get along with spouse in future.
You must remember that
there is nothing about right or wrong among couple.
What do you mean?
Empress.
The preparation of dinner in palace next month is almost done.
This is the guests list submitted by dukes and officers.
Only the dancers and singers are not finalised.
Please have a look.
I don’t want to look into this matter.
Jialuo. You help to go through this.
This party is the biggest event in this season.
But the song lists were too traditional and old fashioned.
It's nothing new.
I have seen these many times when I followed Dad to palace last time.
You feel bored too?
Why not you perform a dance in the party?
Me?
I can't make it.
You can't make it if you're alone.
You see. All dukes' daugthers are good at singing and dancing.
How could you compare to others for dancing?
I'm saying you and Yang Jian to perform a sword-dance.
Yang Jian and i?
It's the way of Dugu's styles.
And also shock those who want to bully us.
No. Sister.
I can do whatever you want me to do.
But not for this.
It's deal.
Don’t tell me you want me to send you a decree.
Well. Sister.
Then you go to inform Yang Jian by yourself.
I don’t think ….
He dares not disobey my word.
Let me tell you.
Yang Jian is famour in performing a sword-dance
If he can perform together with Jialuo,
this party will be great
Sister is giving me a hard time.
How could I tell Yang Jian about this
when we're having a conflict?
How do I request?
Furthermore,
he isn't at home now.
How do I ask him to come back?
This isn't difficult.
You just tell him that you miss him,
and would like him to come back home.
Is this an issue?
Stop nonsense.
This is really diffucult.
Help me to think a way.
If mistress asks me,
then I would like to ask you seriously.
Mistress.
You have married to Yang's family for long.
Can you tell me one of Yang Jian's strong point?
Strong point?
I can tell a lot of his weak points.
Why do you ask me this?
The spectators see the chess game better than the players.
As a spectator, I can tell better.
Yang Jian is a responsible person.
He will check all the matters of the mansion in detail.
He will never fall back for what he suppose to take responsibility.
Do you think what I say is right?
You're not wrong.
Now,
the empress's decree is the same.
He won’t disobey and he dare not disobey.
If this performance is done,
Yang's family will become talk of the town in capital.
This is only beneficial to Yang's family without any harm.
He will be willing to do it.
May be Yang Jian will perform this show more serious than you do.
Really?
You asked me to come back urgently because of this?
Just like that?
Exactly.
I don’t want to go.
This is empress's decree.
I don’t want to go either.
But I have promised my sister.
Then you can go by yourself.
After all, I am not going.
Yang Jian.
Do you still mind the incidents last time?
Aren't these unhappy incidents all over?
Don’t tell me that you want me to apologize.
Don’t misunderstand.
I, Yang Jian, is not a small-minded person.
It's just that sword dance isn't what I should perform.
Tell me what you want.
No matter what is the condition, I will promise you.
As long as it is not too over.
Many nobles will participate this party in palace.
It looks like peaceful.
But there are a kind of competition secretly.
We can't lose the game, right?
Am I right?
Jialuo.
You can look for someone good at dancing to be your partner.
Why do you insist me to go?
I didn’t see you wrongly.
You will only hit a man when he is down.
Misstress.
Young master.
You're afraid.
What am I afraid of?
Couple sword dance.
Young master.
You're afraid to be alone with her.
I stayed in the camp and didn’t come back these few days.
Because I didn’t know how to face her.
It's strange too.
When time flies,
sometime, I feel that Jialuo and I are couple.
This…
You and madame are couples obviously.
It's official marriage.
Empress's intention is to make a match among us.
So that I will stop crush on Mantuo.
Franckly speaking,
second mistress is far now.
Young master, you're unable to do anything for this.
You better look after your land which near to you.
My brain is in a mess now.
I don’t know what to do at all.
The divorce proposal doesn’t look like an easy decision too.
Then you have to cut the knot quickly.
Choose one.
This cut will only make thing worst.
So, it was a smart decision to reject Jialuo just now.
You see.
I can just reject her.
Don’t escape from reality.
This is not rejection.
You can hide for temporary, but not forever.
You don’t understand.
This is the temporary way I have now.
Zheng Rong.
Is Yuwen Yu still sending tonic to Jialuo?
Dong Qu said that
Madame has sent a letter to Yuwen Yu
telling him not to send anymore.
Madame said these tonics aren't something she can eat.
She has given it to servants and maids.
Yuwen Yu thought that Yang's family couldn't affort tonics?
Well. Ready the horse.
Let's go back to camp.
What happened?
Are you unhappy?
Sister. You really give me a difficult task this time.
If I dance alone,
the performance must be lousy.
I don’t have a tutor to teach me couple sword dance.
Everyone knows that Yang Jian is good at sword dance.
Well.
He leaves me here alone.
But he himself back to camp to relax.
Mistress.
If you really want him to teach you,
why don’t you ask him for favor politely?
It doesn’t matter whether you both are couple.
It's something about manner.
Why you’re unable to understand this at this time?
I did ask him politely on that day.
But he was aggrorant and reject me directly
Mistress.
We're one family.
You don’t have to create story.
Although I wasn’t there on that day,
I could understand clearly.
Your way wasn't asking for favour.
You're giving instruction.
Who is willing to help if so.
You must be gentle and polite.
You must say something they like to listen.
If I do so, I will become lower ranking than him.
It's just a tactic.
As long as your objective is achieved,
why do you need to care so much?
If you knew all these in advance.
why didn't you advise me much earlier?
It's useless to say anymore now.
Jialuo.
Yong.
I have told you many times,
you don’t have to bow to me.
Oh. Yes.
what happened to you?
Are you unhappy?
Sister assigned a task to me.
She requested me to perform couple sword dance next month.
But I don’t know about all these.
I asked Yang Jian to teach me.
But he hide from me.
Yang Jian?
Does he dance better than me?
Why not I teach you some technique?
I guarantee you can do a good job.
Asking the world, how many year we can have chance to meet each other.
we meet again under a clear moon and tree
Jialuo.
Do you still remember the past?
If the heaven doesn’t want to support our love relationship,
we can continue to be brother and sister.
As long as you don't hide from me.
Do you know that
if you treat me as stranger,
I will feel even sad.
I'm sorry. Jialuo.
How good if we can back to the past.
Not bad.
Yuwen Yu's dance is not bad.
But this step has to practice more.
Why are you here?
I'm here to teach you sword dance.
Didn’t empress say that she would like us to perform a dance next month?
Empress has a decree.
Can we not to follow?
Yuwen Yu.
I saw every of your single move just now.
The pattern is there.
But it's not elegant.
Your move was stagnate and not smooth.
It only looks the same, but it's not.
This isn't a good performance.
Jialuo.
Time is getting late.
I will go back first.
You come to see Yuwen Yu secretly,
could it be that you want to dance with him in the party?
Then who am I to you?
You want other to see me as a joke?
Don’t use this extreme way, please!
Yang Jian.
What you said last time is not like this.
Things have changed already according to times.
Can't you remember?
You.
Come.
The heaven and earth are far,
but you're in front of me.
Sword dance is not required to use strength of arm,
it requires spirit.
Use spirit to lead your arm,
use arm to move the sword.
Sword follows your eyes contact,
eyes contact follows your heart.
When it's necessary,
you should forget about yourself.
Your eyes should focus to sword.
Good.
This is so called sword dance.
That's good.
Young master.
Young madame.
You both back to mansion together today?
Yes.
You have practiced enough for today.
Let's date in our back yard for practicing in future
Okay.
Dong Qu. Let's go.
Young master.
What's wrong with you?
Why your face turns red?
Go away.
You both are getting along well today and look perfectly match.
Nothing can describe this scene.
I guarantee you and sir will have the best performance tomorrow.
Is this really so good?
Not only me,
Yuwen Yu was attracted by your performance
If I didn’t know about detail
and knowing you both relationship isn't very good,
I might feel that you both are happy couples.
Zheng Rong.
I feel like I got cold.
Young mster.
How could a weather now make you get cold?
It's not a bullshit.
When I came in just now,
I felt uncomfortable.
My face was hot and felt a bit dizzy.
Could it be that you sweated after dance and got cold?
Or you have food poisoning?
No.
I should look for a doctor for you.
General is strong and not easy to get cold.
From the pulse diagnose,
I don’t think there is any unusual.
I'm afraid that you're exhausted.
I will give you a tonic first.
If the symtom is changed,
I will come again.
Why do I get sick at this moment?
Zheng Rong.
Don’t tell Jialuo that I'm sick.
Young master.
You can't care so much now.
You're sick now.
I'm afraid you can't accompany young madame to practice dance tomorrow.
She will know that naturally at that time too.
I will get well tomorrow.
You don’t have to worry.
Go out.
This…
Why is my heartbeat getting faster suddenly,
and my face feels hot?
Wind is blowing, rain is spattering.
Blowing up my heart.
A meeting turns into a life time memory.
Tear of a whole life….
Are you dreaming?
Let's practice sword dance.
I'm feeling uncomfortable today.
Why your face is extremely red?
Are you feeling not well? Don't.
Man and woman shouldn't have physical contact.
Have you seen doctor?
It's just flu. Nothing have to worry about.
If so, let's practice dance quickly.
Use my heart to exchange your legend.
The storm and blossom beyond the great wall.
By accident, many things happened in my life.
I return back to enjoy the scene. I will always wait for you.
Although loving you may cause to a bad ending.
I'm still willing to wander together with you for my whole life.
The green mountain.
The lonely city.
What a perfect match couple.
I will teach you next time.
Tear of a whole life,
is the destiny of loving you.
Memory is sealed.
In this life….
The storm and blossom beyond the great wall.
By accident, many things happened in my life.
I return back to enjoy the scene. I will always wait for you.
Although loving you may cause to a bad ending.
I'm still willing to wander together with you for my whole life.
What do you think about this?
How about this?
I think this is too simple.
Compare to other mistresses from rich families,
you will be beaten down.
I really look for trouble for myself.
I'm doing something that I'm not good at.
But it's late to regret now.
Why not we go to shoplot in the East market to have a look?
May be there is better choice.
This dress is really not suitable for party.
Exactly.
Everyone wears ugly in the mansion lately.
So I have made some new clothes for everyone.
Dong Qu.
This is for you.
For me?
Thank you. Young master.
This is for you.
You can't wear a simple dress tomorrow to dance in the party.
You pick this to me?
How is it?
Is this ugly?
No.
I just didn’t know you would specially….
It's nothing specially for you.
Everyone has one set of dress in the mansion.
Well. Try now.
I go now.
I never thought that young master is so detailed.
How is it?
Is this beautiful?
Do you think Jialuo will like it?
It's your hospitality.
Young mistress will definitely like it.
But…
Say.
Sir.
Aren't you doing gown for others but you're not the groom?
I have married her on someone behalf too.
It's no big deal to do this now.
Sir.
But you have to mind your behaviour.
Although Yang Jiang and young mistress have no love,
she is still Yang Jian's wife.
It's about Yang's family reputation.
He will protect it wisely.
I know what I'm doing.
Okay.
That's good.
I think officers may feel bored to watch the traditional show in normal day.
So, I specially arrange sword dance performance today.
I hope you all will like it.
Thank you. Empress.
Is this nice?
It's outstanding.
It's nothing special.
What a fuss?
Jialuo.
Yong.
You see. Is this look nice?
You look nice.
I'm sorry for being rude.
Why did sir come to look for you?
Anything?
Show begins soon.
I will go to look for him after my performance.
This…
Don’t feel that I don’t know your tactic.
How dare a daugther of Sima play tactic in front of noble families?
You thought your sister played up with the people with power
and married to the empress of Northen land,
you would have support?
Your tactic and talents are not comparable to our mistress at all.
I'm lazy to deal with you. Dong Qu.
What happened? Jialuo.
It's her.
She intentionally cut the dress that General Yang gave to madame.
It doesn’t matter.
Jialuo.
We still have time.
Pay respect to Your Majesty and Empress.
Where is Jialuo?
Sorry for demonstrating badly.
Wait.
Pay respect to Your Majesty and Empress.
Why do you change your dress?
It's long stories.
That dress does not look good.
Where do this dress come from?
Is this dress given by him?
Let's talk about this after we go back home.
I want to know it now.
Okay.
Thank for your time. Hope you enjoy the show.
