♫ Time is as a shuttle which just passed by but comes back right away ♫
♫ Feeling is like silk that we're unaware of how entangled it has become ♫
♫ 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 7
You don't look too good today, Princess Consort.
Isn't it all because 8th Prince caused a disturbance in my Snow Room?
Disturbance?
It's that usual thing. You know it.
Oh, I heard that an assassin attacked the Eldest Prince's manor. It really caused a great uproar.
I was worried about the safety of Prince and Princess Consort.
That's why, I came this early to inquire.
There was an assassin in the manor of Eldest Prince? 8th Prince and I don't know about it.
How did you know?
Isn't it because the servants were talking about it?
There are some things that are better not heard.
Fine. If Princess Consort is unhappy,
I'll go back and slap their mouths and see if they will dare to stir up ill-will again.
With this much devotion to your professional duties, it's really a waste that you're not a paparazzi.
Paparazzi?
Greetings, Princess Consort and Concubine Yu.
8th Prince and 14th Prince are practicing archery at the shooting range.
They are inviting everyone to watch and have fun.
Not going! What's so good about watching archery?
8th Prince insists that everyone go.
Princess Consort, since being married into our manor for quite a long time,
you have never seen the Prince's demeanor on the training range yet, right?
Let's go and take a look, okay? Come take a look.
Eldest Brother actually used a Jianghu trick of using sedative powder. Really despicable. (Jianghu - community of martial arts)
Eldest Brother probably is predicting that after we saw him holding the Royal Decree,
we will surely get anxious.
How is your wound?
It's fine. We can't let Eldest Prince catch on to anything against me.
After some people spread the news of me doing archery training,
we can already remove the suspicion of the 8th Prince Manor being involved in the assassination plot.
Greetings, 8th Prince and 14th Prince.
- Greetings, 8th Prince and 14th Prince. - Princess Consort.
What's good to look at here? And even insisting that I come over. Really so boring.
Princess Consort. If Princess Consort feels that watching archery is really very boring,
how about we spice things up and look for something fun to do?
What fun thing? Sister Yun, say it.
This... will depend if 8th Prince and Princess Consort will cooperate.
Why don't you say it then?
Let us have Princess Consort hold a fresh flower in her mouth as the target.
If it is hit, then it signifies very good luck!
What you're doing is not trusting the relationship between the Prince and I.
Are you trying to do this to test me?
How is it testing?
I was just worried that Princess Consort might be too bored that's why I came up with this good idea
and letting everyone have fun. Moreover,
Princess Consort need not be too worried.
Our Prince's archery skills are the best in Dong Yue.
Could it be that Princess Consort is doubting the archery skills of our Prince?
How about... some other day?
Why must we change it to another day?
Could it be that 8th Prince or Princess Consort have any inconveniences today?
It's fine with me to give it a try.
Fine then. Since Prince already said it,
I also have nothing else to say. But let us make an agreement first,
I am just going first to make a demonstration for you two.
Later on, you two must each do it too. If anyone will not do it, then that's belittling our Prince.
Mo Lian Cheng, your hand better not tremble. I will not call you sissy anymore.
Oh, my, he just shot it?! Isn't he supposed to do a countdown first?
Prince is so great!
I'm fine! I'm fine!
Prince, I am willing to put my life in your hands.
Tan'er, you do the second shot.
Sure!
Prince, you must not do that.
Why? You want to go against my order?
- I dare not. It's just that Princess Consort-- - If you dare say one more word, then it will be two arrow shots.
Then may I ask Princess Consort to have mercy.
It's fine. It's fine. I have never hit a target.
Ah?! Prince... look...
♫ If one day I can bump into her ♫
♫ Can I still say those numerous words? ♫
♫ Still that entangled story ♫
♫ If possible, will we do it over? ♫
♫ I initially thought I could forget ♫
♫ Change to a city without signs ♫
♫ But too bad, after running down every street, still seem to be searching ♫
♫ I initially thought that I could stop ♫
♫ Change to another lover and grow old in a blink of an eye ♫
Don't be afraid. I'll help you vent this anger.
♫ Thinking about it, your smile became my prison ♫
This moon is really round.
No streetlights or neon signs,
only it is the brightest.
It will be the Autumn Festival soon.
All the palaces and manors are preparing mooncakes.
Xiao Tan, do you want to taste them?
My mooncake festival every year was spent with my parents.
Father would cook his best dishes.
After dinner, we'd go up to the rooftop to look at the moon.
But afterward, due to my working, we never spent it together anymore.
If they know that they will never see me again,
they surely will be so sad.
Xiao Tan, could it be that you are not used to the life here in the Prince's Manor
and that's why you want to go back to Qu Manor, getting homesick already?
It is just because the shooting range this morning has made me so tired.
I want to rest already. You also leave too.
Yes.
I drink continuously but still cannot get drunk. I've read this book numerous times but I've forgotten it before.
There is already no point even if I learn the meaning behind these words.
I can only pray for things to come true as long as one is sincere.
Ancient bed, ancient bed, hurry and show me your magical power already. As long as you can let me go back,
it's fine even if you make me 10 kilos fatter.
Let anyone who wants to get the top sales reward have it.
♫ Being together or separated, a flutter of fate will control ♫
♫ What is a flutter of fate? ♫
♫ The fruit of the world's karma suddenly descends from the heavens ♫
♫ which has been confusing to people ♫
Qu Tan'er...
What god or saint are you? Where did you come from?
♫ Infatuation is to float into a whirlpool ♫
Could there be another world other than Dong Yue?
♫ to degenerate willingly ♫
♫ Going downhill is a dead fish and a broken fishnet ♫
♫ With a happy heart or a mistake, it keeps a record of who has come by ♫
♫ One doesn't live one's life in vain unless one has shed tears and repented ♫
♫ During my first awakening of love, I don't know whether it's worthy or not ♫
Pork strips stir fried with yuxiang sauce...
♫ The gentleness of a small stream which flows far ♫
Mom, don't touch my hair-do.
Your eyelashes are quite long.
♫ Doing things vigorously will only promote joys and sorrows, separations and reunions ♫
You keep feeding me food. My face is so round already.
♫ What one can obtain ♫
Your face is round just like a bun. ♫ is only agony ♫
No way...!
You, you, you...!
What?
You... why are you in here?! Acting like a thug?
This is my manor.
Then how can you casually come into other people's room in the middle of the night?!
You are my wife.
You are acting like a scoundrel and you even have reasons?!
You caused my legs to become numb. How are you going to pay for it?
I don't believe that you didn't touch my head for it to just end up on your thighs like that.
It's your fortune to be visited by me for the night.
Childish!
You are not allowed to say that I'm childish.
The person who won't let others say that he's childish is the most childish!
If I am childish, you are a rascal.
You're not allowed to touch my head.
I just have to touch.
No!
Sorry. I forgot that you are still injured. Are you okay?
Don't think of going anywhere.
Xiao Tan, were you able to sleep well last night?
Mo Lian Cheng and I slept early last night.
We didn't do anything.
Greetings, 8th Princess Consort.
Master Qu is inviting 8th Prince and 8th Princess Consort to Qu Manor and join the family reunion for the Autumn Festival.
Listen well. I, Qu Tan'er,
have no relationship with the Qu household from now on.
Next time, don't bother sending me invitations like this.
But 8th Prince has already agreed to it.
Just say that I don't feel well. Get out.
Since it's a family reunion, who else will be going?
There is Eldest Prince and Eldest Princess Consort, and--
Fine! I'll go!
I'll take my leave.
Xiao Tan, why did you suddenly agree so fast?
Don't I want to create opportunities for your Miss to meet with Mo Yi Huai?
This manor is quite deep and there are too many people watching.
When can then they be able to meet?
I'm going to thank you then on behalf of my Miss.
Don't thank me first.
I still don't know the trigger for us changing right now.
By that time, the one meeting with him, we can only rely on fate.
Then... Xiao Tan suddenly being so kind...
Could it be you did something that has wronged our Miss?
None...
Mo Lian Cheng and I didn't do anything last night.
Didn't do anything.
I didn't say that it was about you and Prince.
Look at you! Staying in this rotten place of yours,
my intelligence has already decreased. You are not allowed to laugh at me again. If you dare to do it again,
I will let you be married off to Butler Zhu.
Xiao Tan!
You don't have to watch the 8th Princess Consort anymore.
Do you need me to look for someone else to follow her?
No need to. You can leave now.
Yes.
Prince, the invitation has already been given to 8th Princess Consort. In the end, Princess Consort agreed to go.
- In the end? -Yes.
At first the 8th Princess Consort didn't want to have anything to do with the Qu family,
but after hearing that the Eldest Prince and Eldest Princess Consort are going,
she changed her decision.
You can leave now.
Yes.
Prince, look.
Father-in-law.
I heard that in Dong Yue there is a treasure called the Soul Suppressing Orb.
Oh. What is that? Where did you hear about it from?
I won't keep it from you. Ever since Dong Yue was founded,
I've never heard of such a treasure.
Father-in-law, this is no small matter.
I heard Pan'er say that when she was young, she once--
8th Prince!
8th Prince. 8th Prince.
Greetings Father-in-law, Mother-in-law.
You are too courteous. Since the guests are all here,
let's begin.
- Please. - Please, sit.
Wife, please.
Royal Brother, Royal Sister-in-law, have you been well?
How can you both come late on such an important date?
It's my fault for spoiling the Princess Consort so much.
I let her play and we ended up playing for too long.
You two are newly married. Being playful is normal.
Don't delay important matters and anger King Father.
You are right. Tan'er often reminds me too.
She often stays by my side too.
8th Brother, you and Tan'er are very much in love. Your Highness,
you don't need to worry.
8th Princess Consort, you don't look very well. Are you not used to Eighth Prince Manor?
No. No. I'm fine.
I'm living quite well in Eighth Prince Manor, and the Eighth Prince treats me quite well too.
My health is pretty well too. Don't you see that recently my face has become rounder?
Tan'er's form is very firm and strong.
How can she get sick easily?
You are the stronger one. Tan'er is very fragile.
The dishes look pretty good today, we should start eating.
Please. Please.
Feed me.
You're creating trouble!
Your Highness, stop staring at someone else's consort
and delay more serious matters.
I remember where to enter the secret compartment.
Tonight, I will go investigate.
Please.
What is he doing so sneakily?
He just went for a bathroom run, don't know where that bastard Lian Cheng went to now.
Why are Madam and Pan'er missing too?
Oh no! Qu Pan'er got angry because of me, so she'll vent her anger on my mother!
Stop acting innocent!
- Stop acting innocent. - Today I have to--
Qu Pan'er! Stop putting your anger on someone else because your life isn't going well.
Very good, Qu Tan'er, your attitude now is getting bigger with each day isn't it?!
You're daring to argue with your older sister now?
Then my older sister is also guilty of hitting my mother!
Aiyo, y-you can talk back now. Kneel down right now!
- Why do I have to kneel? -Tan'er
Causing Madam and Eldest Princess Consort to get angry.
Some things are all my fault.
Madam, Eldest Princess Consort. Tan'er is still young.
She tends to act rashly.
Then I have to teach her a lesson.
If this keeps going on, she'll go way too far overboard!
You should keep an eye on your relationship with your husband!
Don't blame others for your poor marital relationship!
You concubine born bitch!
I must definitely teach you a good lesson today!
You are really revolting. Men! Men!
Make her kneel!
- Be gone! - Mother!
Qu Pan'er stop messing around.
Your Highness, I am just teaching my younger sister as an older sister should.
So that Tan'er will know some proper etiquette and won't get bullied when she goes out.
How is that messing around?
My beloved caught a cold yesterday. She cannot stay outside for long.
Let's go sit in the front foyer.
If her body is chilled and gets hurt,
then what?
Your Highness! Your Highness, I accidentally offended First Brother and Older Sister.
Older Sister is teaching me a lesson.
Mother-in-law, Ninth Madam. First Brother, First Sister-in-law.
I care about Tan'er's feelings. I have been rude.
Your Highness, you are too courteous.
A married woman is water tossed out of the house.
It is not our place to worry about her.
Alright. Tan'er isn't feeling well,
so I will leave with her first.
Mother.
Alright. 8th Prince, 8th Princess Consort, I will not see you out.
Ninth Madam. There are still some things to finish in the front foyer. Let us go deal with them.
Yes, Madam.
At such an important moment, one step wrong means every step is wrong.
Please watch your actions.
It wasn't that I am not careful.
It was Prince whose main intentions are elsewhere.
Don't willfully guess at things in my heart.
You should know who your Princess Consort is.
If you still cannot cut things off,
then do not blame me for intervening!
Mo Lian Cheng, I didn't think you'd be pretty good at acting.
You're not allowed to flirt with others from now on.
I was always standing right by you though.
Don't even think about it.
Fine, fine, fine! I have never seen such a domineering person before!
Shouldn't you address me as your savior?
As a husband,
protecting your wife is your job.
You really are a classical example of a shuài-good-for-nothing. ( Shuài- slang for handsome)
Shuài? What does shuài mean?
Shuài... means that you are very good looking.
Then am I shuài or is Eldest brother shuài?
Why are you still jealous of Eldest Prince?
You brought it up first.
You're shuài! You're shuài! You're the most shuài! Are you satisfied?
But for a woman the most important thing is security.
Security? I am a Prince of Dong Yue. Do I make you feel insecure?
I'm not talking about human protection.
It's a type of 'longing and relying on' feeling.
It's like when you're facing the whole world,
you know that there is always someone there supporting you.
Wife's words are quite surprisingly novel but I find it sweet and interesting.
If there is anything else in the future, you can tell me.
If I say it you won't know.
Are you doubting me?
No, no, no. How would I dare?
Everything I say you believe?
As long as you say it, I'll believe it.
[Mu Ru Convent]
Do you believe that there is another world besides Dong Yue Kingdom？
Often in my dreams, I see places outside of Dong Yue. There's a war there.
There is killing, a pill-making cauldron, a white bearded old man, and you.
So when I first saw you, you looked really familiar.
Just like when I saw Royal Grandfather's portrait in the past.
Can you bring me Dong Yue Kingdom's map?
Jing Xin, the map.
What is this? Dong Yue isn't in the history textbooks.
Could it not even be on the planet Earth?
The Planet Earth? What is the Planet Earth?
The Planet Earth is... I can't explain it right now.
Look. I am a from a place very far away from Dong Yue that looks like a rooster.
A rooster?
But you clearly grew up in Dong Yue. You are the second daughter of the Qu family.
This... that's even harder to explain!
There's nothing I can't understand. There are only things you can't explain.
How can there be things I can't explain well?
I am the publicly recognized Top Sales Agent,
the number one Eloquent Realtor Queen.
No need to explain.
I don't want to hear it either.
Miss.
Jing Xin, you can leave first.
Yes.
Xiao Tan, please remember the words you have said.
Your Highness, the moon looks quite nice tonight. Let's go admir--
Tonight, if you serve me well, I'll give you the divorce paper.
How come I can still successfully leave even though I'm not angering him?
Qu Tan'er must not find out! I have no choice either!
