♫ Weave a piece of glamorous ornamentation with both of our deep loves ♫
♫ It's hard to entrust this love-sickness to someone ♫
♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone ♫
♫ with your name seal carved into my heart ♫
♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon to weave spring silk ♫
♫ Which cannot be cut but is mingled forever and ever ♫

The Eternal Love
Episode 3
The prestigious Prince of the Dong Yue Kingdom once believed that
his wife who once tried to kill herself for the Eldest Prince
must be a spy dispatched by the Qu Manor.
But why is her behavior a little strange?
Mo Lian Cheng became a bit curious about this prey.
Just like that, Princess Consort beat up both concubines in her courtyard with her own hands.
With her own hands?
Looks like my 8th Princess Consort is really no ordinary woman.
Since she doesn't follow the normal pattern,Yu Hao. Continue keeping a close eye on her.
Yes.
How are you Your Highness?
I'm alright.
Sometimes, I can hear the voice of my Royal Grandfather in my head.
Probably because you grew up beside him,
that's why you miss him.
Perhaps. Royal Grandfather,
has been long gone since handing over the Royal Command Token and will never return.
If he could come back, I really want to ask him
why did he give me the Royal Command Token instead of making me the Crown Prince.
I'm so infuriated. I just knew nothing good would come from marrying him.
It seems I have to be like some Huang or Yue woman.
But whoever dares to bully me, then I'll tear them apart.
Why are you so happy? Are you laughing at me?
I'm not. I just feel that when you disregarded everything
and beat up those two hateful women,
you look really... really awesome.
You were really...
Cool?
Yes,
really 'cool'.
Of course. Jing Xin let me tell you something, this is called,
where there's oppression, there's resistance. It's natural.
Where's there's oppression, there's resistance.
It is. Miss sure is different from before.
If you could be that 'cool' thing before,
perhaps Madam and Elder Miss wouldn't have bullied you so much.
That's true. If they want to bully me, it's not that easy!
Who was it that said,
if a concubine's daughter
doesn't have the ability to change something, wouldn't that be like...
it would be a dead end.
The saying is like that,
but I still feel... I feel you should find someone to support you.
A support?
Shouldn't we go greet the 8th Prince?
You should leave a good impression, so he'll treat you a bit better.
Ever since the wedding night, you still haven't gone to see him.
I'm not going to see him. It's better that he thinks I don't exist.
Besides, I'm leaving sooner or later. Who cares if I get on his good side.
That Mo Lian Cheng. Sure he's handsome,
but he's a womanizer with many concubines.
But he's a Prince. It's normal to have two concubines.
That's already considered not many.
Oh, by the way, Jing Xin, you can't stop looking for the bed.
Oh, I still have to look for that bed.
But this is the 8th Prince's manor.
I'm not familiar with this place and don't know anyone. How am I suppose to find it?
Jing Xin, I can tell
you are the Queen of Gossip. There is nothing that you can't find out.
You've got to push your limits. Fighting! You can do it!
The Queen of Gossip you spoke of, are you complimenting me?
Of course. I am.
Don't worry, I will find that bed for you for sure.
Thanks.
Why did you stop me? It's nothing to kill them.
You can't, it might alert the enemy and ruin our master's plans.
What should we do then?
We'll ask Master first before discussing it further.
Master, Lie Ming and I snuck into the palace of the Dong Yue Kingdom.
But it's well guarded. We dare not act rashly.
Please let us know Master, whether we have the right to kill?
No rush. The Soul Suppressing Orb has nothing to do with the Dong Yue royals.
So it must be in the Palace.
Find a powerful and ambitious man. Have him help you find the orb.
Yes.
Miss... Miss... you mustn't leave.
You searched a whole day and still can't find that crappy bed. It probably isn't here.
Why should I stay here? Let go of me.
Miss...
Miss...Miss... Xiao Tan, I'm begging you, you can't leave.
This is not Qu Manor. If 8th Prince were to find out
he won't just punish you using a domestic punishment.
The Princess Consort running away. Your entire family will be executed.
So that's why I have to hurry up and escape.
If I've run away, he can execute whoever he wants.
No.
Xiao Tan.
How are you going to climb up such a high wall?
Xiao Tan?
Xiao Tan... be careful.
Be careful.
Jing Xin, I'm really leaving.
Where is Princess Consort going?
Are you up there looking at the scenery or are you afraid I'll sell you to a brothel,
and that's why you're hurrying to escape?
Neither one? So you must be going to meet someone, correct?
Is it Secretary Qu or is it Elder Brother?
I was homesick so I climbed up here to have a look. Is that not okay?
I hope you can quit your bad habit of climbing the wall.
Even if you miss your family, you'll be returning home tomorrow.
Whatever you wanted to say to Secretary Qu,
It won't be too late to say it then.
Huh? I have to go home?
Hey...
Darn it, I failed again.
I must find a way to escape before returning home.
Xiao Tan, you can't leave.
Xiao Tan, listen to me, aren't you looking for that antique bed?
The 8th Prince's manor is so big, there's a lot of rooms we haven't searched yet.
If the antique bed really is in the 8th Prince's manor,
and you leave just like this, then you will miss
the opportunity to find the antique bed, am I right?
I guess so.
But when I think about going back to the Qu Manor and seeing those Qu faces, it makes me feel sick.
Jing Xin, is there a way I don't have to go home?
But going home is the tradition. If you don't return home,
both Qu Manor and the 8th Prince's Manor will have no dignity.
But don't worry, Xiao Tan, as long as you are cautious and obedient
Madam won't do anything to you.
Besides, you are the 8th Princess Consort now, am I right?
Xiao Tan?
Alright.
It's better to save myself trouble,
instead of being beaten to preserve my dignity,
it's better to be a coward.
As long as you don't leave then it's fine.
Jing Xin, I'm coming down so hold the ladder tightly.
Alright.
I'm holding it tightly. Come down.
How is the matter with the Queen Dowager going?
I've already sent someone to inform the Queen Dowager. I believe she will be very pleased.
But... you don't look very willing.
My Royal Grandfather personally raised me,
but it doesn't seem like he liked her very much.
I don't like her as a person either.
But she has always favored me.
I cannot treat her poorly.
Now in court, the only one that will go against King Father for me
is her alone.
Your Highness, the Princess Consort requests an audience.
Send her in.
Yes.
Greetings, Prince.
You are too courteous.
Why are you keeping your head down? Do you not want to look at me?
I'm afraid I would be impolite.
You indeed changed a lot. On our marriage night, you told me to hurry
and made so many little games for my entertainment. What's wrong with you today?
If I did anything embarrassing, please be understanding.
Very good. My Princess Consort is pretending to be weak today.
I quite like it.
Your Highness, please stop teasing me.
I came today because--
On the night of our wedding, I said to First Brother
that all things will belong to their rightful owner.
And one day, they will return to the right owner.
It's just, what is this object?
And who... is the master?
If you do not understand, then neither do I.
I do not know why you are mentioning this to me,
but today is the day for me to return home.
The horse and palanquin are ready.
Your Highness, please--
I'm a little tired. If there's anything, let's talk another day.
In that case,
please rest well. Your body is more important.
I will leave first.
- Yu Hao. - Here.
You can do that task I left to you.
I understand.
Miss, we left just like that. What are we going to do about going home?
Why didn't you make things clear just now?
The Prince has made it clear that he doesn't want to go home with me.
Even if I explain things clearly to him, I will only invite insult.
Why is the 8th Prince like that?
It makes sense that he will put up his guard against me. Forget it.
But Miss, if we go back like this,
you will be ridiculed by Madam again.
Who is it? Show yourselves.
Even Yu Hao didn't notice your presences.
It looks like I must see you two.
I heard long ago that you were very intelligent. I just never imagined your martial arts would be so good too.
Say it. Why did you come looking for me?
We have a good business deal for you.
A business deal?
What are you two selling? What do you want me to buy?
You just need to do us a little favor and we'll help you gain the world.
You will not lose out in this business deal.
It sounds good but you two have the wrong person.
I am just an idle prince. I do not understand business matters.
Even if I did understand, I will not ally with scoundrels.
Don't make things so difficult!
It's natural that the Prince won't trust in our skills since we came so suddenly.
Can you tell us what you waver on?
I believe that you two
cannot even steal this tea cup from me.
I've long heard the Prince had sharp eyes atop his head, never thought that he'd have dog's eyes that looked down on others.
It looks like you two are very confident.
I will get what I want by myself. I will not trouble you two.
[Qu Manor]
Greetings Master and Madam.
Where is the 8th Prince?
8th Prince isn't feeling well so he didn't come.
Tan'er. Kneel down!
Do you know what you've done wrong?
I don't know what I've done wrong.
8th Prince hadn't agreed to come,
I had no choice.
Fine. So you've learned how to talk back now.
Servants, start the domestic punishment.
So you think just because you are the Princess Consort,
no one would punish you?
I don't dare to.
You don't dare?
You don't dare, yet you dare to go against your father's wishes.
You chose not to get close to the 8th Prince.
You are just trying to make your father look bad.
Bring it over.
Wait...
My Lord, are you becoming soft-hearted?
Can't you see this mongrel?
She was born after 13 months of her mother being pregnant.
Perhaps she's not your biological daughter. Tell me, has anything like that ever happened in this world.
Our Qu Family has been very good to her. Brought her up until she's like this.
If we don't teach her a lesson,
she'll get cocky.
Start the domestic punishment!
I beg my Lord and Madam to forgive Miss.
- Madam... Madam... - Madam, spare me.
Madam, please forgive Miss.
I'm wrong.
Madam, forgive Miss please.
I don't dare go against Father's wishes.
You don't dare to go against your Father's wishes?
Then tell me. Keeping your virginity,
are you doing it to get close to the First Prince in the future?
Look! It really is true!
- You bitch! - Madam!
- You bitch! You bitch! - Madam, I was wrong!
It's my fault. I couldn't obtain the 8th Prince's affection.
Madam, have mercy.
Miss?
Miss!
She's pretending to be dead again.
Prince.
It seems like the 8th Princess Consort has offended Madam Qu. She is currently being tortured.
Are you going to go in now?
There's no rush. Let them finish putting on this play first.
Continue watching them.
Yes.
Miss.
See. I told you she was pretending to be dead.
- Why does my whole body hurt? - Miss.
Why am I here?
You... You two are too cruel.
You dragged me here while I was sleeping just to bully me!
Are you all sadists?
You cannot be rude!
What are you doing?
- Miss! - Do you see this brat!
Hurry up and hold her!
Go away!
8th Prince arrives.
- The 8th prince is here. - Hurry and get her up.
- Don't touch me! - Hurry and get her up!
Let go of me!
Father-in-law, what are you doing?
8th Prince, why did you come suddenly?
I have been impolite. Please come sit.
Don't touch me!
Beloved, why are you all wet?
And why is she kneeling here?
I don't dare say anything.
Tan'er...
It looks like Beloved must have been mischievous again.
It's enough if she jokes around with me at home.
Even I have to show Official Qu some respect. How can you make a fuss here?
Prince, you are giving me too much importance.
Beloved, hurry and get up.
Madam... can I get up now?
You must be joking, 8th Princess Consort! Hurry and help her sit!
Don't touch me!
I didn't come right over with you today and made you suffer.
What are you talking about?
Father-in-law.
If Tan'er did anything ridiculous,
please forgive her.
I have spoiled her too much.
You are too serious, Your Highness. That Tan'er could obtain your love...
It's our pleasure.
Very well. Since I've already seen you,
then I will bring Tan'er home first.
Alright. Goodbye, 8th Prince.
Starting from the moment Mo Lian Cheng took away Qu Xiao Tan without a second thought,
Qu Xiao Tan was completely confused.
In her confusion, she was dragged muddle-headed into the palanquin.
Could this be the fabled domineering Prince?
I don't want to run in circles. Tell me.
What is Mo Yi Huai's real goal in having you marry me?
Who?
You are quite good at acting innocent.
Who is acting innocent? Be clear!
Very good. Act as you'd like.
But since you are now the Princess Consort, there are a few things you must do.
Yes. I will remember!
A married woman must obey her husband! If her husband die--
If you have any requests, just tell me.
Listen well. I will only say it once.
One, don't look at what you aren't suppose to see and don't go to places you aren't supposed to go to.
Two, act the way a woman should.
You cannot keep any lovers and cheat on me.
Three, if I say to do one thing, you cannot do something else.
Then if I don't follow the rules will you give me the divorce papers?
I won't... I will kill you instead.
Later, let Jing Xin dress you up.
We can talk about it after we get home.
Did I say we were going home?
If we aren't returning home then where are we going?
It is indeed beautiful here, but it can't compare to our Royal Palace.
It's even inferior to the Royal Palaces on television series.
Ai...
Is the kingdom of Dong Yue too poor?
Don't know how much their GDP is. (Gross Domestic Product)
This probably won't sell for that great of a price!
Miss, this isn't the Royal Palace. This is the Queen Dowager's villa!
So naturally, it is not as grand as the Royal Palace.
You sure have a lot to say today. Stay close to me.
Greetings, Royal Grandmother. I wish you great health.
- We wish you great health. - We wish you great health.
Cheng'er come over and sit next to me.
Let me look at you.
This is my new Princess Consort, Lady Qu.
That daughter of the Qu family born from a concubine?
She is a beautiful lady.
This stupid place. Why doesn't anyone like me?
Miss.
You are born of a concubine, but since you have married the Prince,
you must watch your actions from now on.
Maintain a harmonious relationship with the concubines, don't cause any troubles,
and don't embarrass the Royal Family.
You are right, Queen Dowager.
Your old love with the First Prince is just a rumor,
but you two must stay in your proper places.
Do not make any rumors fly around anymore.
Do you understand?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Scheming with evil thoughts? There is even cyber dating.
Cheng'er, you have suffered.
In the past while I saw Yun'er with you
growing up together, you both made the perfect pair.
If it wasn't to follow the previous King's order, why would you have...?
Who is Yun'er?
She is the daughter of Duke Anle, Zhao Qing Yun.
She is the Queen Dowager's grand-niece.
So the Queen Dowager wanted Yun'er to marry Mo Lian Cheng,
but I cut in on them,
and I'm also the Eldest Prince's rumored ex-girlfriend!
No wonder the Queen Dowager doesn't like me.
Miss.
Brother Lian Cheng!
Greetings, Queen Dowager.
Yun'er, I was just talking about you with Cheng'er.
Yun'er is still so playful.
You haven't seen your Big Brother Lian Cheng in so long. You probably miss him.
Queen Dowager you're making fun of me again.
Since it's like that, I am a bit tired as well.
Then have your brother Lian Cheng spend more time with you.
I will leave first and rest.
The Queen Dowager is leaving!
Farewell, Royal Grandmother.
- Farewell, Queen Dowager. - Farewell, Queen Dowager.
Brother Lian Cheng, so this is the sister-in-law you married?
She looks like she's much older than me.
With the quality of the skin care products you have here in Dong Yue, get ready, you'll become an old woman in ten years.
Brother Lian Cheng, it's so boring here let's go over there and play.
This...
Since it's like that then I will first go back to the manor.
Wait.
How can you leave me alone?
I'm giving you guys time to catch up since you haven't seen each other in a long time.
It's okay, I'm very magnanimous!
You guys can do whatever you guys want, and play however you guys want to play.
Let's go.
My beloved Consort, please remember this. Whatever the situation, don't ever leave me behind and just leave on your own.
There are some things... a Princess Consort must do.
