Episode 10
You have been...
stuck in this manor for too long.
You even refused to go out with Prince Li.
I'm sorry that I had made you worry.
But you are not well.
I wish to accompany you in the house.
I didn't mean to blame you.
If you want to be filial to me,
go to Chengxi for me tomorrow.
What is it that you need that is so urgent?
I heard that the Rare Item Chamber in Moon Embrace Teahouse in Chengxi...
specialises in selling one-of-a-kind treasures.
His Highness is a regular customer there as well.
I want to decorate the house in order to welcome him.
I heard they just brought in some new high quality treasures and jade ware.
But the servants don't know how to choose.
I understand. Tomorrow, I'll go there personally to pick them out.
Great.
But from their shapes, I think they are both female.
I'm different from you.
I have my own mission.
Why did they have a Western Qi's tool in this manor?
Don't you think that this is a very familiar scene?
Wu You, what are you thinking? You have a faraway look.
Are thinking about Man Yao?
Wu Yu.
You have monitored Man Yao before this, right?
I did it because I was too clueless back then.
I thought that you'll be distracted from serious work because of a girl.
I never thought that you are actually a very calculative and lethal man.
No only you managed to defeat Yu Shi Hai,
you managed to heroically save a beauty too.
You are really good.
Did you find anything when you monitored her?
No, I found nothing.
Nothing aside from running into her repeatedly outside of the teahouse...
and the House of Fragrance.
You are the one who said that there's something wrong with her.
That's why I sent someone to keep an eye on the teahouse.
But in the end, I found nothing.
Man Yao...
knows some martial arts skills.
Female from Western Qi.
-Greetings, Your Highness. -General Fu.
You are loyal and are of valuable service to the emperor and the nation.
There's no need for these conventional courtesies.
Thank you, Your Highness.
General Fu.
I've always admired you.
But you had rejected all of my previous invitations...
with the reason being you are still recovering from your wounds.
I wouldn't dare to reject your invitation.
That's why I came here right after I recovered.
Great. After you.
After you, Your Highness.
Go away.
You have great foresight and you are both brilliant and courageous.
You are the pillar of Northern Realm.
But lately, you haven't been to the court, claiming to be sick.
May I know the reason?
Southern fringe is stable now.
His Majesty is now making preparations for the war against Wei.
I'm just a general who leads the soldiers.
I'm not very familiar with other affairs in the court.
So, I think it's better for me to recuperate...
and prepare myself for war.
I am a grounded person and yet...
I get to meet with the capable general.
Looks like you have really given me an honour to meet you.
-The honour is mine. -General Fu.
If I make any other mistakes in the court from now on,
please be so kind to snap me out of it.
You are too kind, Your Highness.
It's my duty and my honour...
to be in service for His Majesty and Your Highness.
Cheers, General Fu.
Cheers, Your Highness.
Thank you.
This tea is indeed very fragrant.
And this is a very exquisite tea set.
I personally picked out this tea set.
This is the crème de la crème of a tea set.
Listening to you talking about tea and steeping tea...
make me feel like drinking tea is a refined activity.
You are too kind, General Fu.
You didn't come here today...
just to drink tea. Am I right?
Are you suggesting that I'm the kind of person...
who knows only how to fight and won't...
come here specifically for a cup of good tea?
I won't dare to do that.
You lead the army to protect the nation.
You abide the laws and you are an intellect.
You are well-applaud as the scholar-general...
in all of Northern Realm.
You are too kind.
-Farewell. -Miss Sun.
The goods in Rare Item Chamber are indeed delicate and unique.
Everything here is exquisite.
I'm too dazzled by all of these.
Miss Sun, which one do you like?
Miss Sun.
Miss Sun, please have a look.
This is a pair of newly-made icy jadeite jade cups.
They're made from the same block of jade that came from western region.
The jade cups have the same veins and they are totally the same.
There is only a pair of these in this Rare Item Chamber.
Just like the man and woman in this world.
When fate comes, they'll each meet their other halves.
Please let my master fulfil her desire...
to have this pair of jade cups.
You shall own these cups since it's fate for you to find them.
Please go to the tearoom downstairs and wait for a while.
Ping.
Send these jade cups to Miss Sun's manor.
Alright.
Miss, the tea leaves that you requested.
Thank you.
Miss Sun, we can leave now.
Alright.
Greetings, Prince Li.
My servant doesn't know the rules. I'm sorry for that.
It's fine.
I'll take my leave then.
Your Highness.
Unfortunately, our master is with a customer today.
Please wait while I inform her.
Who is it that is so important?
He is the General of Defence.
No need to inform her then.
I'm the one who invited General Fu to come here for tea.
But my master didn't mention about it.
Miss Sun.
Meeting by chance is a rare thing.
How about we go inside to have a cup of tea together?
Sure.
After you.
My lady, Prince Li is here.
Tell him that I'm not in.
What is it? You want to hide from me again?
Greetings, Prince Li.
General Fu.
Why are you here?
I happened to pass by this place.
So, I came in to have a cup a tea.
Nothing else.
If you need to talk to Miss Man Yao,
I'll take my leave now.
Slow down. I'm not here for anything important.
Meeting by chance is a rare thing.
How about you sit down and we can all have a cup of tea?
By the way, this is Miss Ya Li, the only daughter of Sir Sun,
the Central Secretary of Northern Realm.
After you, Miss Sun.
Cheers, Your Highness.
No need to be so polite, General Fu.
General Fu.
The emperor and crown prince think highly of you.
You are the pillar of Northern Realm.
Since you have something to discuss with the general,
it'll be inconvenient for me to stay here.
I shall take my leave then.
Man Yao, if you are not here,
who is going to serve us the tea?
No need to be so uptight.
I don't have anything important to say.
I just feel like having a chat with the general suddenly.
Drink up.
Coward.
Princess Rong Le will not eat you. Are you going to go in or not?
-Sir. -Now I know.
This is the reason Wu You let me out.
Good for him. He went to meet his lover.
And he set me up with this old, ugly and fierce princess.
Look. He even asked that blockhead to keep an eye on me.
What are you looking at? And you!
Why did you follow me along?
Every day, you either pester Wu You or following me around.
I'm following you around?
I'm just afraid that you'll bully Princess Rong Le.
You like Wu You, right?
If you like Wu You, go to the owner of Moon Embrace Teahouse.
-No use to come to this princess. -You...
Such a dummy. I follow you because I'm afraid that you'll...
Stop right there.
-What are you doing? -Aren't you going to go inside?
Go inside and ask Miss Ling Yue to get ready.
-The sooner the better. -Yes, sir.
Prince Chen, Princess Zhao Yun. Please go in now.
Captain Xiao of the Princess Manor has personally come to welcome us.
Welcome.
Today, the tea that you prepared...
is different from the usual.
Even I have never tasted this kind of tea before.
General Fu, you are really well-respected.
I don't know anything about tea.
I just feel that although this tea is bitter,
the aftertaste of it is sweet in the mouth.
To be able to give out such a comment...
shows that you are just being modest about your knowledge in tea.
I'm different from the privileged and the wealthy.
I'm just a person from the lowest social strata.
I lead a vagabond life for a living.
So, drinking is just a way of survival.
I really don't know how to savour a tea.
Your life is just like this tea.
There's sweet after sweat.
That's why you can taste the flavour of this tea.
Unlike somebody...
who has already tasted all the tea in this teahouse...
but never been able to taste the flavours.
It's just a thoughtless comment.
Of course I'm in no way comparable to His Highness's knowledge in tea.
I just only understand the meaning of...
drinking tea after your explanation just now.
The tea that you chose is in accordance to the life of the drinker.
Miss Man Yao, it's really admirable...
that your teahouse is so successful...
although you are the only one managing it.
But this time, what I have tasted...
is different from what you have tasted.
How about we listen to Miss Sun's thought on this?
I'm not that smart. I don't know how to distinguish flavours of tea.
For me, all the tea in this world...
is bitter and astringent.
I don't know why...
but the tea today has a sour bite to it.
But it's alright.
It suits my feelings and my appetite today.
We have the same taste, Your Highness.
That's why we are always in perfect unison...
when we are on the battlefield.
In battle, you have great foresight and you are very decisive.
You can win easily even without me.
As for court, I hope that you have a clear look on things,
can distinguish right from wrong and can go side by side with me.
As for other things,
if you have taken a fancy to the things that I like,
I would suggest you to be careful with your actions.
Thank you for your advice.
But I think that the matter with the heart...
is all about fate and destiny.
It's not up to us.
Miss Sun, be careful.
I'm fine.
I'm too clumsy.
Please pardon me, Your Highness, General Fu.
I don't feel well suddenly.
I think I'll take my leave now.
-You are not going to check on her? -No need.
Just now, General Fu said that he's going back already, right?
Please be a gentleman and escort Miss Sun home.
I'll take my leave now.
You should stay away from him.
You don't have any rights...
to question the people I called friends.
Fu Chou is a complicated man.
For me,
I think that you are more complicated than he is.
Man Yao, are you saying this...
to provoke me on purpose?
Your Highness, I'll be leaving now.
Are you angry at me...
because of Fu Chou?
I won't dare to do that.
After you.
Miss Sun, the carriage is ready.
-You can go out first. -Yes, Miss Sun.
Do you have something to say, Miss Sun?
We have met once in the southern fringe.
How have you been, General Fu?
Miss Sun, you are...
Two years ago,
I ran into a battle when I was in my hometown alone.
I want to thank you for saving me back then.
Madam.
I see.
I was just merely helping out.
I'm ashamed that I had forgotten about it while you never did.
After you saved me, you left immediately.
So, I never had the chance to thank you.
I feel very unease about it.
This is nothing. You don't have to take it to heart.
Miss Sun, let me escort you.
After you.
Well, this will do.
Safe journey, Miss Sun.
Princess Rong Le, long time no see.
Where are Ling Yue and Lian Xin?
Lian Xin has gone back to Western Qi to get married.
Our princess is worried that Ling Yue will be upset.
So, she gave her a few days to rest.
Princess Rong Le, Wu Yu is the one who wanted to meet you today.
He insisted to come here to meet you.
I'm here to pay my visit.
Why does this tea taste so bad?
Is it that bad?
Let me have a taste.
It's indeed bad.
This is incomparable to the tea in Moon Embrace Teahouse.
Princess Rong Le, let me bring you to the teahouse to taste their tea.
I heard that the Rare Item Chamber has some brand new dresses again.
And they are all imported.
We can't find those in the palace.
Let go and taste the tea there.
Our princess is still having flu. It's better for her to stay home.
Please go back, Princess Zhao Yun, Prince Chen.
Princess Rong Le, you are still having flu?
Our princess is not feeling well. Please go back, Princess Zhao Yun.
Princess Rong Le hasn't even rejected me.
How dare you reject me in her stead?
Sir Xiao, this is the very first time I invite Princess Rong Le.
Moreover, more reason for her to drink tea if she has flu.
Tea can relieve and detoxify the body.
Maybe she'll get better after drinking tea.
-Don't you think so, Princess Rong Le? -Princess Zhao Yun is right.
I don't really feel well today.
Princess Zhao Yun, Prince Chen.
How about we go there...
Princess Rong Le. Today, we keep on inviting you sincerely.
But you keep on rejecting us.
Is this how Western Qi treats your guest?
Princess Rong Le is not like this.
Princess Rong Le, let's go.
I have lost.
It's already so late. Aren't you going to go back yet?
It's not every day that I can play chess with you.
Can we play one more round?
Alright.
Wu You! Look who I've brought along.
Such a coincidence. I've brought Princess Rong Le with me too today.
Both of you can use this chance to have a chat.
Greetings, Princess Rong Le. I am Man Yao.
Miss Man Yao, please rise.
Wu You, come and have a talk with Princess Rong Le.
Prince Chen. Are you going to marry me?
I...
If you want to take off my mask today,
it means that you are going to marry me and be my husband.
I...
-I forgot. -Wu Yu.
This is the custom of Western Qi.
Only the groom can take off the mask.
You are too rude. Apologise to Princess Rong Le now.
Quick.
I'm sorry, Princess Rong Le.
Wu Yu, you are too rude.
Princess Rong Le, my brother has indeed offended you today.
Let me apologise to you in his stead.
Please forgive him.
That day, you purposely make things difficult for me in the great hall.
Now, Prince Chen is trying to take off my mask.
But he is not willing to marry me.
Are both of you trying to embarrass me on purpose?
I can't be sure that you didn't put anything into the tea...
that will make me embarrass myself.
Princess Rong Le, please don't mind them.
This is just a little game that we like to play.
Since Prince Li is inviting Princess Rong Le to drink tea,
it won't do for the rest of us to continue staying here.
If Prince Li and Princess Rong Le need anything,
you can just call me anytime.
Wu You, Princess Rong Le is still here.
Prince Li, Prince Chen,
Princess Rong Le is still sick.
I'll have to bring her back first. Farewell.
Princess Rong Le.
Usually, Brother Wu You is not like this.
Wu You, how can you do that?
What's so good about Man Yao? Compared to Princess Rong Le...
I'm going to visit the House of Fragrance.
Wait for me.
It's better for you to go back now.
Do you really hate it that much to be with me?
I'm doing this for your own good.
If you're really doing it for my own good,
stop avoiding me already, alright?
Forget it.
It's already late anyway.
I'll see you next time.
I'm so scared.
You did very well just now.
-Really? -Really.
I never thought that you'll be so smart.
You have portrayed the princess well with your talks and your expression.
-Even I... -No, Sir Xiao. It's nothing.
I just managed to learn how to be a little bit like her...
because I have served her for some time now.
But we still need to be careful from now onwards.
Even now, my heart is still beating wildly.
It'll be alright.
Looks like I've guessed wrongly.
Looks like love can really make someone become dumb.
Even the wise Wu You has become it's victim.
How is it possible that Princess Rong Le and Miss Man Yao...
are the same person?
They are totally different.
Princess Rong Le is a spoilt and wilful girl. And she's ugly.
Not only Miss Man Yao is pleasant-looking,
she is very sophisticated.
They are totally different.
Moreover, Princess Rong Le is so aloft and she is a pampered girl.
How can she be the master of a teahouse?
Are you happy now? Your cleverness has overreached itself.
Now, you have offended both parties.
It's been so long since I last see you. I miss you like crazy.
I'm going to visit the Northern Realm and I'm going to travel fast.
I'll be meeting you in ten days' time.
Long Yue, I'm not dreaming, right?
My brother is coming to Northern Realm to meet me.
I just received this message from the Kite.
It's definitely true.
Long Yue, take a look at me. Have I changed in any way?
Did I become thinner? I didn't...
-rest well lately. -Enough.
You are still the same.
And you are still beautiful.
Every time he writes to me, he's always so worried.
He feels that I didn't eat well,
didn't take good care of myself and didn't take my medicine.
Prince Li often comes here to look for you.
You have to be careful. Don't spill the beans.
I understand.
A messenger from Western Qi has sent us a letter of credence.
The Emperor of Qi is coming here personally...
to sign the treaty with me.
After that,
we'll have no worries for the upcoming war against Wei.
I'll entrust you to facilitate this meeting.
But we are still undecided about the marriage alliance.
I'm afraid that it'll affect the alliance between us.
We are almost done with the preparations for the war against Wei.
This alliance is a must.
I will not let anything affect this alliance.
What is your plan then?
Western Qi has chosen Wu You for this marriage alliance.
So, of course...
we need to give Wu You a push first.
Brother, please advise Wu You not to be so headstrong.
But with his personality...
If he refuses to do it no matter what,
we'll think of another way then.
I heard that Princess of Western Qi is interested in Prince Chen.
Since young, Wu You cares more about...
Wu Yu than he cares for himself.
Alright, I understand.
General Fu.
I had searched far and wide for this.
I hope that it will be to your liking.
Great sword.
Crown prince must have heard about your meeting with Prince Li.
He's getting antsy.
-You may go out now. -Yes.
When will the Emperor of Qi reach Zhongshan?
He'll reach here within three days.
You may go out now.
Yes.
Emperor of Qi is reaching soon. What is your plan?
You know what my intention is.
I will not accept this marriage.
Back then, His Majesty has his own difficulties too with your mother.
If he didn't marry Fu Yuan,
the Northern Realm today will not be like this.
You don't have to talk about the past with me.
You are not here today...
just to pass on a decree telling me to accept the marriage alliance, right?
Your father has exhausted himself for this alliance.
He's not as healthy as before anymore.
If you are really unwilling,
let Wu Yu marry her instead.
I don't want.
Father is being too partial.
Same with you too, uncle.
I knew that you are eavesdropping on us.
Uncle.
No matter it's me or Wu Yu, we won't accept this marriage.
Officially, this alliance is fake. We just want to strengthen our forces.
Because of some dignity,
we want to put the people in dire.
And personally,
we have feelings and everyone has their own aspirations.
I don't want to be like His Majesty...
who can make a bargain with marriage.
I don't want to be unfaithful like him.
You are right, Wu You.
Wu You.
Have you fallen in love with someone?
I...
I have things to do. I have to leave. Both of you can continue.
Looks like I've guessed correctly.
Actually, His Majesty has already made a plan for you.
If anything untoward happens in the war against Wei,
he'll let all of you go back to the three states in southern fringe.
After the treaty with Western Qi,
the Central Secretary, Sir Sun Ji Zhou...
will be sent back to the southern region.
The prominent family of Sun...
has been taking roots in that three states for a long time.
He can best assist you to settle down in the southern region if needed.
How is His Majesty?
If His Majesty knows that you are asking about him,
of course he'll be so gleeful that all of his illness will be gone.
The arrival of the Emperor of Qi!
-Greetings, Princess Rong Le. -Greetings, Princess Zhao Yun.
Princess Rong Le, you have a sore throat.
So, I have brought along some sore throat medicine for you.
Thank you, Princess Zhao Yun. Have a seat.
Princess Rong Le, you are so capable. You are even good in wood-carving.
I just learnt it.
This looks easy, but it's actually quite difficult to carve.
It's slippery if your hands are wet. I've already ruined many of them.
Princess Rong Le, I have never seen you so happy before.
Are you very close with your brother?
That's right. We don't have any other siblings.
So, it's just me and him on our own.
My brother told me that when I was young,
he made me a box of wood sculptures to play with.
I'm so envious of you.
Unlike me who have no other siblings.
You have Wu You and Wu Yu, right?
Actually, I'm quite scared of Wu You.
And that Wu Yu likes to bully me all the time.
Princess Rong Le.
If only you can be my real sister.
If you marry Wu You, you'll be my real sister-in-law.
Princess Rong Le, did I say something wrong?
Actually, Wu You is very kind.
He always sends someone to take care of me and protect me.
But he never says it out loud.
Princess Rong Le, don't ever fall in love with Wu Yu.
He is just a heartbreaker.
Why do I feel like compared to Wu You,
you are more worried about that dummy?
That's not true. I'm just worried that he'll bully you.
Princess Rong Le, can you teach me how to carve?
Be careful, Princess Zhao Yun. Don't cut your hand.
Princess Zhao Yun, if you like it,
just ask someone to send it to your manor.
Don't be like Princess Rong Le. She has so many cuts on her hands.
Ling Yue.
No. I want to personally make one to be given as gift too.
Even if I'm not good in it, at least I have put my heart in it.
Just like Princess Rong Le's regards for her brother.
I have to do it myself.
I'll be fine.
Princess Rong Le, His Majesty is going to come to the manor soon.
It's better if we keep Princess Zhao Yun away for a while.
She has a close relationship with Prince Li.
I'm worried that there will be troubles.
But I feel pity for Princess Zhao Yun...
because she is always alone.
She is still young. It'll fine for her even if she makes some mistakes.
I have always treated her like a younger sister.
I can't bear to see her sad.
What is it, Princess Zhao Yun?
It's nothing.
Princess Rong Le, is this really your brother?
Why do I feel that it looks like Wu You?
Long live the Emperor!
Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Have a seat, Emperor of Qi.
Thank you, Emperor of Northern Realm.
You came here despite the long distance.
I'm really touched by your sincerity.
From now on, we'll work in unity...
to defend against our enemies.
You are very courageous and full of compassion.
We'll work well together.
Although you are young,
I feel that we can get along very well.
I built this nation with blood and sweat.
According to our custom,
when we have visits from honoured guests,
we'll welcome them with a hunting party.
What do you think about that?
My warriors are brave and are good shooters as well.
How about we let our warriors compete against each other?
Excellent.
Those with the most hunt will be rewarded handsomely.
Same goes to me.
Long live the Emperor!
Princess Rong Le.
His Majesty has to go to the palace for a feast before he can come here.
I know. Ling Yue. Look at me.
-Do I look well? -Yes. Everything looks good.
You look very well and your dress is beautiful too.
Is the room for my brother ready yet?
Don't worry, Princess Rong Le. I have already cleaned it up.
As soon as I heard that His Majesty is permitted to stay in this manor,
I have been cleaning it up for him.
Princess Rong Le. His Majesty is here.
-Brother! -Rong Le.
I miss you.
Quick. Let me take a look at you.
Look at you. You have become thinner.
But at least, you look well.
Did you take your medicine on time?
Yes, Ling Yue will make sure that I take them every day.
How are you feeling, brother? Why do you I feel that...
you don't look so well?
This is an exhausting journey.
How can I possibly look well?
You shouldn't have come here in person.
This is a long and arduous journey.
The world is in chaos now.
And you are not feeling well too.
I'm here in one piece, right?
Moreover, this alliance is very important to Western Qi.
Besides, I want to come here to see you.
I'm worried that they'll bully you here.
With you here, who dares bully me?
By the way, I'm just one step away from The Book of Mountains and Rivers.
That's great.
Compared to the book,
your safety is more important to me.
Believe me. Give me some time.
I promise to let you do as you please,
to do anything you want...
and to marry whoever you want.
I know you are worried about me.
But you have to believe in me too.
I'll definitely keep my promises to you.
