My Assassin Girlfriend
Episode 24
Xiaoli, everything’s ready?
Your Majesty, don’t you worry.
Let’s get it started.
Announce.
Concubine selection starts now!
Please enter the hall.
Daughter of Imperial Minster of State.
Greetings to Your Majesty!
What are you good at?
Your Majesty, I dance.
Please show it.
Grant her a palace flower.
Next!
Next please!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Greetings to Your Majesty!
What’s your specialty?
Your Majesty, I do martial arts.
Please show it.
Grant her a palace flower.
Next!
Next please!
Greetings to Your Majesty!
What are you good at?
Your Majesty, I sing.
Sing a song.
Grant her a palace flower. Next!
Summon Yu Yan, daughter of Wenchang Duke.
Yu Yan, daughter of Wenchang Duke.
What are you good at?
I’d love to play a piece of melody
for Your Majesty.
Xiaoli, bring her a Guqin.
Bring her a Guqin.
Still remember the cold glow at the edge of the sword.
I can’t recall the loneliness when I turned around.
It’s hard to forget the Guqin melody that flew in the breeze and moonlight.
But now, the raindrops fall on the plantains and you are gone.
I admire that you can come and go freely,
leaving me thinking of you all the time in the palace.
No one knows that the wind blew into the little tower last night.
I can’t help but think about you very much.
Good! Grand her sachet.
Grand her sachet.
The wind blows the snow again.
Thousands of words aren’t enough to express my love.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
My heart for you will never change even in a thousand years.
I’d love to be close to you even just for a moment.
Turns out everything is just an illusion. I only am waiting for you to show up.
Yu Yan, daughter of the late Head of the Secretariat,
is righteous and kind, possessing both outstanding appearance and ability!
She’s believed to be a good example to the harem
and a motherly model of the nation.
She will be appointed as the Empress.
By the Emperor himself.
How come Xumi Hotel
is closed again?
Is this how you run a business?
Good question!
Sorry, everybody!
Today is a special day for our hotel!
Please come tomorrow!
I’ll give you a discount!
Free liquor and beverage, how’s that?
Are you serious?
Of course!
Sorry!
Please go to another restaurant!
Sorry! Sorry!
Your Highness Empress!
Cheers!
Your Highness Empress!
Please don’t call me that.
Just call me Yu Yan!
Come on, Your Highness Empress!
Cheers!
Come on!
Let’s dig in. The dishes are getting cold.
Yan, when’s your wedding?
Let me hold your wedding.
It’s been so long since the last time I held a party!
I really can’t wait!
It’s not called wedding.
It’s called Conferring Ceremony.
Plus, your taste
is not as good as mine!
Let me do it!
I promise you I’ll impress you and make it unforgettable!
You are a man, what do you know?
Do you know about girls’ heart?
I’m from the modern times, I know!
Is your taste as good as mine?
My taste is certainly better than yours!
I doubt that!
Not really! Not really!
Right?
Your taste is not as good as mine!
You have a big head!
You…he is bullying me!
Mr. Cai, you can’t say that…
Today, you were so stunning
when you played in the hall!
It’s my and Xumi State’s pleasure
to have an empress like you!
I’m afraid I won’t have chance
to come to this room again.
Yan,
the wedding preparation is a big project.
But I promise you
I’ll come back to see you when I’m free.
Yan!
Coming!
Hurry!
Coming!
Brother, you are here too!
Would you like to join us?
Let’s go!
Your Majesty.
I called you to be here today
because I want you two
to be in charge of my wedding.
Xiaoli, you’ll be responsible for the ceremony.
Wenguang, you’ll be responsible for the performance on the ceremony day.
Yes, Your Majesty!
No problem!
Your Highness Empress,
do you like
the pattern and color of the cloth?
The color is so tacky!
No taste at all!
Princess Lvyu, these are all we have in the palace.
They are tribute paid by other countries
and they are the best fabrics.
Yan, let’s get out of the palace.
I’ll pick the cloth for you.
Yan, let me tell you,
my years of study about ancient customs will finally pay off!
I will definitely make them impressed!
Don’t be too much though,
you’ll startle them.
How come?
Greetings to Your Highness Empress, princess!
I’ve stopped the civilians from coming here.
You can take a walk as long as you want!
This is not shopping,
this is leader inspection!
Since we are here already, let’s shop around a little.
Their intention is good anyway.
Let’s relax a little.
But the candied fruit and dragon's beard candy used to be sold on the street
are all gone!
I don’t want to shop anymore!
You know what?
That guard leader blocked the entire street!
The candied fruit and dragon's beard candy Xiaozhu wanted
weren’t available at all.
So we ran away.
But he ran after us
all over the place, as if it was a marathon!
Yan, sounds like you had a tough day!
My legs are so sore!
Let me give you a massage.
No need.
What if others come in?
Who would come in at this hour?
Come here! Let me give you a massage.
Sit.
I think we should stop.
What’s wrong?
It’s not comfortable?
You are emperor.
Yan.
You…
Your Majesty!
The imperial doctor brought a bowl of ginseng soup.
I won’t eat it tonight.
Your Majesty, the maids have got the bath water ready,
they’ll serve Her Highness’s bath.
She’ll skip it tonight.
Your Majesty, it’s getting late,
would you like to have some snacks?
You can eat it yourself!
Leave us!
Being an emperor is so hard!
If put your eunuchs
in a TV show,
they might lose their lives in the first episode.
Yan.
Taking a bath…
Let’s do it together!
Get away!
The feast shall be grand!
We should invite guests from all over the world to taste the gourmet food of our Xumi!
Your intention is good.
But focusing on eating only is too tacky!
Can’t you improve your taste a little?
Serving too many dishes is a big waste.
Playing some music during the feast
can show the taste of our Xumi royal!
You two,
I’m really busy here.
Could you go to Lvyu Mansion
and discuss it with Yan?
Yes!
Let’s go!
Cai Wenguang!
How long they’ll sing still?
I’ve called all opera singers in the capital city.
Those from the other places are on their way over here.
And those from Song State are on their way too.
What?
Cai Wenguang!
What have I ever done to you?
Why are you torturing me like this?
Stop! Stop!
Leave here.
Alright, it’s my turn!
Live Happily Ever After.
Come on, taste it!
Come on!
Rejoicing Dragon and Phoenix.
This one is good! Taste it!
Xiaoli, how many more dishes are there?
I can’t eat anymore.
Let me jump a few, I still have some room!
I’ve asked the imperial kitchen
to cook the entire menu!
It’ll be enough for you to eat till tomorrow morning.
Tian Xiaoli! You…
We won’t eat anymore!
But there are still many dishes.
Are you sure?
You girls are so hard to please!
Because you guys are too dumb, okay?
Bai Zhu.
Am I wrong?
I don’t want to eat anymore!
Royal Roasted Duck.
More?
I’ll leave first.
Yan!
It’s all your fault!
Why are you standing here?
I’m here to ask Her Highness
about the design of her wedding dress.
But she’s not here,
so I can only wait outside.
I’m also here to ask her about the menu.
You are also here to find Her Highness?
Yes.
I need her to confirm the program list too.
I just came from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
She wasn’t there.
Only the Imperial Library
can offer us some peace right now.
The royal wedding is so overwhelming!
I’ve seen so many weddings
when I worked in Mount Isle Hotel.
I’ve never thought that my own wedding would be like this.
I’ve been too busy lately
to take care of this matter.
I know it’s not easy for you.
It’s okay, I’m just saying.
I’ll be fine in a couple of days.
By the way,
I heard
that you didn’t sleep at all last night?
Xiaoli!
So, sleepy still?
Your Lord, the wedding sedan is ready.
It’s put in the storage house of Imperial Household Department.
Please take a look.
Okay, I’ll go with you soon.
Your lord, please take a look
at the guest list and
the seat arrangement.
Okay!
Your Lord.
Please take a look
at the wedding dress and jewelries
I prepared for Her Highness.
How is it?
How come the wedding dress is white?
It’s a wedding, not a funeral!
It’s too inauspicious!
And the dress is too exposed!
It’s so inappropriate!
That’s right!
Xiaozhu, put the dress away.
If it’s our wedding,
it’s all up to you,
no matter what you want to do.
But this is Empress Conferring Ceremony.
We need to take it seriously.
I am serious!
Yan always dreams about a white wedding!
Okay, you are serious.
Please go back first.
I’ll go find you later.
Then we can discuss it, okay?
Take it.
I’m leaving!
Your Highness.
The saddle will be put here on that day,
symbolizing safety and peace.
Please be cautious then.
Okay!
Lady Official.
We’ve practiced for a long time.
My neck is stiff
and I’ve even got double chin.
Shall we take a break?
Let’s practice later.
Your Highness, on the day of the ceremony,
Every rite has its certain time.
They shall be done without interruption.
Okay. Then let’s continue.
Your Highness, please slow down.
What? You said speed up?
Okay!
Your Highness, please slow down.
Quicker? Alright!
Your Highness!
Xiaozhu, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?
I could ask the chef to cook you some delicious dishes.
Sister, I feel unhappy today.
I don’t have appetite.
Why don’t you bring me some liquor,
and some dishes to go with it.
I heard that you are unhappy.
Come on, tell me why.
I don’t want you to accompany me!
I want my sisters.
They are all busy right now.
Hope you’ll be fine
spending some time with me!
Then how about let me accompany you?
Yan!
I miss you so much!
You can go now! Leave!
Your Majesty, everything has been prepared
for the Conferring Ceremony,
except for Her Highness’ wedding dress.
I see.
Please go take a look!
The ladies are about to destroy Xumi Hotel!
Destroy?
What ladies can be so tough?
Who do you think?
Come with me, hurry!
Wait!
Hurry! Hurry! Come here!
Don’t let her drink anymore!
It’s empty!
I want more!
Who is it?
Xiaoli!
Thank you, ladies!
Be careful!
Let’s go back to the palace!
Be careful! Careful!
Come on, let’s drink more!
Come on!
Let’s…
That color is so nice!
What is it?
Doing one good deed each day
can accumulate a great amount of merit.
But,
how come I’m left alone again!
Yan,
have some water.
Do you still feel uncomfortable?
Sorry!
These days have been exhausting,
and I didn’t take good care of you.
I’m the one should apologize.
I didn’t expect that I’d
have fear for marriage in the ancient times.
But don’t get me wrong.
I’m just a little tired preparing for the wedding.
So I come here for a break.
I’ll be back tomorrow.
Actually,
reviewing the memorials every day
is quite tiring too.
I also want to take a break like you.
How about
let’s spend a night here?
Come here!
Where is it?
Put me down! Put me down!
Put me down!
Xiaoli.
I’ve made a deal with Yan.
We won’t go back until we get drunk!
I am not drunk yet!
Why do you bring me back?
Xiaozhu, you are drunk!
If you stay there any longer,
Xumi Hotel would need remolding!
I hate this.
You can leave now.
You again!
Come here.
Xiaozhu.
Xiaoli.
Do you know
that I haven’t had so many happy days
since I got here in Xumi.
The happiest days I had here
were the time I spent with you in this yard.
Xiaoli, I want to go back to the modern times.
I miss Di.
I’ve been thinking about going back.
But,
I don’t want to leave you.
Xiaozhu, don’t worry!
I’ll be with you forever.
I’ll go wherever you will go.
You will really be with me forever?
Of course, I will!
I’ve thought about it.
After His Majesty’s wedding,
we’ll figure out a way to go back to the modern times.
I’ve been thinking about it.
Now that you are well now,
and you want to go home.
Then I’ll go with you.
Then what about Yinqi?
Xumi State has become stronger
under his reign.
And Wenqi has just become the emperor of Song State.
The internal and external problems are all gone.
His Majesty is wise and brilliant.
And he has your Yan’s support now.
My biggest wish
is to spend every day with you.
What?
You don’t want to go back with me?
I do!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Your Highness!
Today is the offering day before the ceremony.
But the auspicious time has passed.
Oh, I forgot!
I’ll go back with you now!
I’ll go back with you.
Don’t be afraid.
Your Majesty.
Her Highness missed the offering time yesterday.
She shall be punished according to the royal rules.
But the ceremony will be held soon.
If the empress is punished at this time,
it’ll humiliate the dignity of the royal.
Your Majesty, please advise.
I accept
the punishment.
I think she should be punished too.
How about this,
let her kneel in the Imperial Ancestral Temple for a whole day.
Officials, what do you think?
Your Majesty is indeed wise!
Although, she missed the offering time because of me.
So I’ll kneel with her.
Officials, what do you think?
Your Majesty is too exalted
to be punished this way!
Her Highness and I are one.
We should accept
the punishment together.
Yan.
Look at that portrait painting.
That was my great grandfather.
He’s the one who left me the time travel journal.
He looked very handsome and serious!
He looked that way,
but he was actually like a big child.
He loved candy so much,
even got decayed tooth because of that.
It hurts! It hurts!
How dare you to talk bad about your great grandfather in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?
Great grandfather, your granddaughter-in-law is hurting me!
Look, the groom's procession is here!
Xiaoli is so handsome today!
Xiaoli looks so handsome!
Tell me about it!
Xiaoli, you are so handsome!
Will you still talk to us?
What a grand scene!
Your Highness, please!
When can I
get married with a handsome man?
Suddenly, I don’t want her to leave.
Wish you all the best!
Greetings to Your Highness!
Yu, wish you all the best!
All the best!
Head to the palace.
Your Majesty, it’s the auspicious time now.
Shall we get the ceremony started?
Approved.
Begin.
Still remember the cold glow at the edge of the sword.
I can’t recall the loneliness when I turned around.
It’s hard to forget the Guqin melody that flew in the breeze and moonlight.
But now, the raindrops fall on the plantains and you are gone.
I admire that you can come and go freely...
Perform the ceremony.
Kneel.
Leaving me thinking of you all the time in the palace.
No one knows that the wind blew into the little tower last night,
I can’t help but think about you very much.
The wind blows the snow again.
Rise.
Thousands of words aren’t enough to express my love.
The time flies, I’m afraid that the destiny won’t bring us together.
Remove the fan.
My heart for you will never change even in a thousand years.
I’d love to be close to you even just for a moment.
Turns out everything is just an illusion. I only am waiting for you to show up.
The wind blows the snow again.
Confer the position of Empress on lady Yu.
Decent and proper manners shall be conducted.
My heart for you will never change even in a thousand years.
I’d love to be close to you even just for a moment.
Turns out everything is just an illusion. I only am waiting for you to show up.
The wind blows the snow again.
Ceremony is over.
Congratulations, Your Majesty!
Congratulations, Your Highness Empress!
My heart for you will never change even in a thousand years.
I’d love to be close to you even just for a moment.
Turns out everything is just an illusion. I only am waiting for you to show up.
Wait! Wait! The banquet is still going on!
Dishes are all here!
Everybody, please raise your cup.
Let’s toast for a happy and wealthy life
for His Majesty and Her Highness!
Cheers!
Wish Your Majesty
and Her Highness a life time of happiness!
May you always be in love
and give birth to prince and princess soon!
Great!
Well said!
Reward!
Everybody will be rewarded!
Let’s play a game!
Okay!
Rock, paper, scissors! I taught you before!
Come on!
Rock, paper, scissors!
Xiaoli!
Come on, get him!
It doesn’t count!
Xiaoli belongs to Xiaozhu!
I say we go tickle him!
Okay!
Get him! Get him!
Get him!
Kiss! Kiss!
Stop! Stop!
Just a kiss, so what?!
I’ll do it!
I have only two wishes in my life.
First, I want to be a qualified emperor,
giving the wellbeing of the people in Xumi.
Second,
I want you to be my wife.
Now both of my wishes have come true!
Your Majesty, we have something to ask you.
Xiaoli, can we talk about your decision of quitting Lord Protector later?
I’ve discussed with Xiaozhu.
We want to go back to the modern times together!
Go back to the modern times?
You’ve thought it through?
Xiaozhu.
Yan,
Your Majesty, I also don’t want to leave you.
But Xiaozhu wants to go back.
Her brother and her home are there,
and she’s more suitable living in the modern times.
So I want to go back with her.
I admire that you can come and go freely,
leaving me thinking of you all the time in the palace.
Here.
Your Majesty, Xiaozhu and I
will find time in the future
and come back to visit you and Her Highness.
It’s a deal.
If you don’t,
you’ll commit a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Cheers.
We promise we will come back to visit you!
Could you take me with you?
Bai Zhu, you told me
that you’ll let me have a good time in your world.
Not this time.
Xumi Hotel needs you.
Next time, if you behave yourself!
I want to go to the modern times too!
I’ve gone to everywhere in Song State and Xumi State.
Your world must be perfect for me!
You are right!
The modern times is perfect for
a travelholic like you!
See! I’m right!
Bai Zhu, take me with you!
“Fight the Landlord” needs three people to play, right?
Right?
The time flies, I’m afraid that the destiny won’t bring us together.
My heart for you will never change even in a thousand years.
I’d love to be close to you even just for a moment.
Turns out everything is just an illusion. I only am waiting for you to show up.
