[Novoland: Eagle Flag] [Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]
[Episode 20]
In the story, I remember there's still another person called...
That whatever Princess...
What's the name?
Qun Wen, isn't is?
It's not Qun Wen. It's Wen Qun.
I see.
Wen Qun, that's right.
Let's be like them and be good friends.
Fine.
Here's to good friends!
Patron, you...
Miss, why are you here again?
The mess you made last time,
we still haven't settle it.
Why don't you go to another establishment?
Boss.
Sorry,
I would like a flask of wine today.
Okay.
Waiter, serve the wine.
Coming.
Please enjoy.
Here's your wine.
Asule.
To me, Ji Ye
is a very important friend.
Yu Ran,
when I first came to South Huai City,
Official Su told me.
She said that Nanhuai is a very, very big city.
There might be 100,000 people walking on the streets at once,
so meeting people by chance and people parting ways happen very easily.
But now I think she lied.
Actually, between friends, it's always easy to meet each other by chance...
but difficult to separate.
Then is it that as long as you don't separate,
If the rest can live,
I can sacrifice anything.
Yes.
Asule.
Let's just get married.
- Your Lordship. - You are here.
Your Lordship.
You have come here late at night. Did you think it through?
Your Lordship, I hope you will do what you promise, and free Ji Ye.
Also, remove all the checkpoints in the territory
and allow the Heaven Samurai to leave.
Although you only said a few words in this meeting,
in my heart, they weigh as importantly as a thousand words.
Please don't worry.
Tomorrow is your grand wedding.
You should be happier.
Today,
I am persuading you with the alliance of our two countries.
It is because I have no alternatives..
I hope that you do not worry about it.
Although in these chaotic times
100,000 dan of grains
will save many herdsmen's lives,
this isn't the only reason for why I am trying to persuade you.
Frankly, in your heart,
you like Yu Ran.
Why must you hide it?
A man,
whatever he likes,
he should grasp it tightly.
As long as you are brave enough, there is nothing that you can't grasp in your hands.
I would like to see Ji Ye.
Fine. Let General Tuoba go with you.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
The fourth glass of wine ♫
The shadow is cast onto the window ♫
Crown Prince, Ji Ye's cell is just up front.
Hurry up. What are you doing?
Move it.
What are you singing?
Stop singing! If you keep singing, I'll whip you to death.
The fifth glass of wine, the young man will fly ♫
over the green forest ♫
Hire the best doctor for him.
And please tell the people here...
Don't give him a hard time.
Tomorrow, we will get married.
Are you happy?
I don't know.
What about you?
I'm happy. Of course, I'm happy.
Every woman dreams of being a Crown Prince's Consort.
But you have never thought of this.
I hope Ji Ye won't hate me.
That dazed fool. Why would he hate you?
I'm not doing it to save him.
Frankly, I should thank him.
If not for him,
I wouldn't even have the rights to marry you.
What did you just say?
I said, the fireworks look great.
Are you still holding a hateful grudge towards me?
You live your life based on the kind of man you spend your life with.
Don't you understand this logic?
I only know that
being with the man whom I don't love,
my life won't be good.
Being with the man whom I love,
even if I have to hide in seclusion, I am willing to do it.
Everyone, leave.
- Yes. - Yes.
If you had choice of will,
would you still choose Ji Ye without a doubt?
I only hope the both of them will live peacefully.
Foolish girl.
No matter how great a friend is,
even if it's your blood-related brother, you can't share your loved one.
Just like a heart. If it splits into two, it will break.
If you don't even dare to face what's in your heart,
Then don't hope to marry someone you cannot marry.
Aunt, have you ever gave me the chance to choose?
There are many things in this world which are more important than love.
Such as, mission in life.
Aunt, as for you and His Lordship,
Is it love or mission?
Only children would ask questions like this.
Did you regret?
Whenever I take a step, there is no regret nor resentment.
It's no use to regret, which would only add unnecessary sorrow.
Yu Ran, don't worry.
I've taken care of Ji Ye's situation.
When you become the Consort of the Crown Prince,
other people and other matters
won't have anything to do with you.
The Crown Prince is having his grand wedding today. Looks like it truly is lavish and has a handsome aura.
Of course.
Our Crown Prince always looks handsome and noble.
I am Ji Qianzheng.
Congratulations, Crown Prince, on your grand wedding.
Are you Ji Ye's father?
Yes.
Is Ji Ye safe now?
Thank you for your concern.
His Lordship has shown mercy and sent Ji Ye to station at the border.
He has retained his military status.
I've caused you harm.
Crown Prince, I feel burdened when you say that.
It was all because of you that the Ji family has kept a bloodline.
If there is an opportunity in the future,
I will definitely bow in thanks to Your Highness—
Lord Yu.
I'm flattered by your remarks.
Ji Ye is my best friend.
Hearing that he's fine, I'm relieved.
General Tuoba.
I have said what I ought to say.
Whatever shouldn't be said, I didn't dare to talk about it.
The bride arrives.
Today is the time when yin and yang meet.
A grand wedding is held according to etiquette rites.
The bride's family does not extinguish the candles for three consecutive nights
to convey longing.
The groom's family will not perform music for three days
to remember the elders. The husband and wife shall respect each other,
eat a meal together, (Symbolic meaning of sharing life together)
enjoy drinks from two halves of the same gourd. (Symbolic meaning of becoming one)
A couple is predestined to marry
after overcoming successive trials to finally meet by fate.
Once married, not to part for a hundred years,
like fish in water.
May you give birth to ten sons, all receive honors.
The daughter will be lovely and gentle,
possessing inner and outer beauty.
Salute the elders with humble courtesy.
Treat the lower-ranked with fairness and without taking sides.
and the family will have unending fortunes
The siblings-in-law will enjoy harmony.
possessing female virtues. May the wife
to remember with respect and caution.
The father will be always pleased without worries.
Am I beautiful?
Yes.
Why aren't you looking at me then?
I'm sorry you are under duress.
I am willing.
Yes.
Yi'er.
Yi'er!
Father. Father!
- Yi'er. - Father.
Can you take this off?
I will only take a glance. I want to see my son.
Go then.
Father.
You have suffered.
I couldn't save you.
You have suffered even more.
You must take care to protect yourself. His Lordship won't let you off.
If he knows that you're still alive, he'll have the rest of the family killed.
Yi'er.
You must live.
Remember. No matter what you do, don't ever come back.
Are you done?
Remember. Don't ever come back!
Men, let's go.
Let's go.
Move it.
Princess, listen to me! This is banned grounds. You can't come here!
- Princess. - Where is Ji Ye?
No, they have taken Ji Ye away.
Your Highness, the Crown Princess has returned.
Why are you crying?
Where did you go?
We were very worried about you.
Ji Ye is missing.
I couldn't find him.
His Lordship and Aunt deceived us.
It's my fault.
I forgot to tell you. I met Ji Ye's father outside the hall.
He told me Ji Ye was allowed to keep his military rank.
However, he has to fight at the borders for a while.
You are not lying to me?
When have I ever lied to you?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I was very worried for the whole day.
At last, we've kept him alive.
In a while, I will plead with His Lordship again.
I think Ji Ye will be back soon.
Soldiers who've battled at the borders
should be promoted to a centurion upon his return.
Then, Asule, can you accompany to see Ji Ye?
Okay.
Of course.
How do you feel now?
When I was young,
my father would point at the girls that came to pay us a visit and ask me which one I liked.
He said if I like her, he will finalize our engagement as soon as possible
lest another family take actions for their son first.
I was fifteen years old then. I was still ignorant.
I would say, she's fine and the other girl's fine too.
In the end, I said that I want them all to play with me.
My wedding was today
but Father wasn't able to see it.
You wanted your father to see who your bride is?
Suma?
Suma is probably the only one
who would be willing to marry me.
What are you talking about?
You are the Crown Prince of Qingyang.
Crown Prince of Qingyang?
It's only just a title.
I originally thought I would live together with Suma.
Just like when were were young.
But I later realized,
being together with her... It's just that we've gotten used to relying on each other.
It's different from the feeling of being together with you.
I'm hungry. Are you hungry?
Do you have anything to eat here?
It's delicious.
Are you eating this?
I'm not eating.
Wouldn't it be great if Ji Ye was here?
we can go out and have a drink.
That's right.
Wouldn't it be great if Ji Ye was here?
we can explain about us when Ji Ye is back.
This book,
keep this properly.
Yu Ran, what are you doing?
I'm probably the first one to get a divorce letter on the night of her wedding.
Why do you need a piece of paper to explain that?
He'll understand.
I really envy Ji Ye.
Why would you envy him? He's so dark and stubborn.
I may look like I have everything,
But I still can't get anything I want.
Being able to know you and Ji Ye,
it's the most blessed thing in my life.
Yu Ran, I like you.
It's useless telling you this.
It's useless telling you on our wedding night (and not before).
I should be the first.
You don't have to feel awkward.
That is as far as I'll go.
It isn't only because Ji Ye is my best friend.
Why?
A girl like you,
once you get some kind of idea,
I'm afraid even a few cattle can't pull you back from it.
Enough, let's not talk about this.
The night view is so nice today. Accompany me to a walk.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Being able to know you and Ji Ye,
it's the most blessed thing in my life.
Yu Ran, I like you.
You don't have to feel awkward. This is as far as I'll go.
I'm probably the first to get a divorce letter on her wedding night.
Why do you need a piece of paper to explain that?
He'll understand.
Asule, what you just played, it was too melancholy.
Play something more cheerful. Okay?
I kept you waiting.
Your Lordship Baili.
The Emperor heard that the Crown Prince Lu Guichen of Qingyang has been living in SouthHuai City,
and that he has righteous nature, good behavior, excels in scholarly and military studies.
I am ordered to come and invite him to meet the emperor in the capital.
Although this is a request from the emperor,
the Qinyang's Crown Prince just got married.
Furthermore, he is not from Great Yin.
I'm not sure that this would be appropriate.
What's wrong?
You are resisting?
I wouldn't dare to.
But this is so sudden.
Shouldn't we seek his opinion?
Of course, I should ask.
My Lord, no worries.
Before I left,
the Grand Princess wanted me to hand over to you.
Since you understood, I won't say anything else.
I'm leaving.
Out of urgency, I have to visit you so late at night.
I disrupted your sleep.
It's not a problem. Lord, you are too formal.
I am Lu Guichen of Qingyang Tribe. Greetings, Sir Envoy.
The enjoy ordered us to prepare Revelation City's specialty, Zheng Yan tea,
to congratulate your marriage, Crown Prince.
Thank you.
I hope you will forgive our
disturbing you on your wedding day.
it was a sudden request
from the imperial family to invite you to Revelation City..
The royal family?
That's right.
His Majesty wishes to meet with you to discuss an important matter.
I have never met the emperor.
May I ask you,
What is the subject of discussion this time?
I cannot tell you.
His Majesty has not told me the true objective either.
He only requested us
to rush on the fastest horse to get there as soon as possible
to invite you to discuss with him in person.
Crown Prince just got married.
The Crown Prince has just married and the Emperor's request arrives. It really isn't good timing.
But, the meeting at the capital is about the world, we hope that you will consent, Crown Prince.
May I think it over tonight?
We will depart for Revelation City at daybreak.
I hope you will bring us good news then.
May I be bold to say something?
One individual's happiness is ultimately ordinary,
but someone with the Crown Prince's stature cannot be ordinary.
Miss, you are flattering me. Please get up.
We shall wait for your good news.
Does marrying me
make you feel sad?
Lord Baili, you don't need to send us off.
The Crown Prince will be a guest at Revelation City. He will be fine.
Respectfully sending off the Crown Prince.
Please send my greetings to the Emperor
and the Grand Princess.
Crown Prince, please sit well as we are about to leave.
