I used to gaze at the mountains and the sea.
The vault of heaven opened all of a sudden.
Do you know love can last a lifetime?
A willow is no match for the wind,
the sea is no match for a mote.
We wait for our love to last forever
until we're grey-headed.
I'm playing a sorrowful tune on the lute.
But I've got no one to appreciate my music.
A beauty is reduced to a lonely life.
With tears in her eyes, she's reluctant to leave.
Time elapses so quickly.
The vermilion gates and the green tiles have long gone.
I hope you'll show pity on me
and allow me to exist for love.
I'll be reincarnated time and again for you.
All I ever want is to be part of your life.
Even if it's just a dream,
I'd love to indulge in it and never wake up.
I come for you, my love
is the tenderest dialogue.
The mortal life is transient, but my love for you is permanent and always the same.
Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty Episode 24
Go.
Get out of here.
No.
I'm taking you with me.
We will get out of here.
Come on.
Let's go.
Come on.
Yinti.
Drink some water.
Yinti.
Don't die.
I have so many words,
so many words to tell you.
Yinti. Minghui.
Come with me!
Yinti. Minghui.
I have finally found you.
Your Highness.
You're finally here.
Consort De arrives.
I pay respect to you, Your Highness.
Enough. You are carrying injuries.
Spare the formalities.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I asked my servants to make ginseng and black-bone chicken for you.
It can replenish your energy, improve your blood circulation,
and heal your wounds
faster.
I don't deserve your kindness.
Minghui,
don't treat me as a stranger.
After all, you are injured
to protect our Yinti.
Now everyone in the palace
knows you saved Yinti on your own.
Your Highness,
I acted rashly.
When I learned that Yinti was ambushed
and in danger,
I forgot all about the rules.
All that was on my mind
was if the Fourteenth Prince died,
I wouldn't live.
Do you know what you are talking about?
I know he's out of my league.
I've always admired him.
I've known him since childhood
and experienced life and death with him.
I dare not wish to win his heart.
I only wish to tell you
my feelings for him.
Alright.
I'm aware of your feelings.
For now, the most important thing is nursing you back to health.
Other things can wait.
Farewell, Your Highness.
The tea is good.
On a side note,
Yinglu has raised
excellent daughters.
During a winter hunt,
Mingwei lured a black bear away to save Yinxiang.
Now Minghui saved Yinti
from the rebels.
These girls are pretty much
the women generals of the Yang Family.
That's a good joke.
Mingwei
married Yinxiang.
As for Minghui...
Though His Majesty hasn't bestowed marriage on them,
as members of the royal family,
we need to show our attitude.
Don't treat the girl unfairly.
Indeed, Minghui is wise
and brave.
But I believe the younger generation can take care of themselves.
Leave the matter
for them to decide.
Your Highness.
Yinti has come to pay you respect.
Let him in.
Yes, Your Highness.
I pay respect to you, Noble Consort Nalan.
I pay respect to you, mother.
I pay respect to you, Your Highness.
Bestow a seat on him.
Come here.
I haven't seen you in a long time.
Are you healed?
Thank you for caring about me.
I have recovered.
So, you have recovered.
Why isn't Minghui still unwell?
The best imperial doctors have diagnosed her
and the best medicines have been administered to her.
Why is her condition not improving?
She lies in bed all day.
How come the saver
is suffering more than the saved one?
Sister, you must be mistaken.
Minghui is not
as strong as Fourteenth Prince.
I have ordered my servants
to send nutritious foods to Minghui.
She's injured in the bones.
It takes time to heal.
Poor Minghui.
Sick at this young age.
Yinti, don't just sit there.
Taste the lotus seed tea your mother made.
You make good
lotus seed tea.
You are patient enough to pick the lotus seeds.
It shows your love for your son.
Now Yinglu's daughter is injured,
her parents must be feeling
pity for her.
Yinti.
Don't work round the clock.
Find time to visit Minghui.
After all, she got injured to protect you.
Don't let her suffer in the palace.
I know.
Minghui.
Today's medicine is here.
You're dismissed.
Yes.
Your Highness.
You finally decided to visit the patient.
You are a patient?
You incurred your own suffering.
Suffering a little
for you
to win your pity
is worthwhile in my opinion.
You are so...
Shameless.
But I have to admit
you made a brilliant move.
Now everyone in the palace
knows you risked your life to save me.
Your Highness,
I did risk my life.
Risking your life to force me to marry you.
You must have wracked your brains
to formulate the whole strategy.
Effort doesn't matter.
Result does.
Your Highness,
I told you,
we have ample time
ahead of us.
Why are you so sure
that I will marry you?
Because we are the same.
Don't forget that
we are best friends
who have killed a tiger and rebels together,
and overcome hardships.
There are certain things that
only can be achieved with our combined power.
The things you can do,
I can also do.
I can even risk my life.
Your Highness,
don't you think your life would be
more interesting with me at your side?
Besides,
you owe me your life.
Hoping to get paid with marriage
is not asking too much.
You should know that
even if you marry me,
you wouldn't end well.
I don't care.
I just want the title of Fourteenth Princess Consort.
Only if I give it to you.
The title doesn't mean
much to you.
I think you'll give it to me.
I'm willing to wait.
Minghui, hurry.
Pick up the blade and kill it.
Kill it and we'll live!
If you don't kill it,
none of us will survive.
It's tiger meat.
So what?
We still killed it.
Yinti, watch out!
Why do you always look so worried?
I have made it clear with Yinzhen.
I'll stay away from the power struggle.
I only want to live a good life with you.
You're so childish.
As a prince,
how can you really stay out of it?
The political matters are in a state of flux.
All the factions cross swords secretly.
Take Yinti for example, he's been basking in attention,
but he can't decide his marriage.
Do you think he'll marry Minghui?
Either way,
it will benefit Yinsi,
and threaten you greatly.
So, you are worrying...
Don't worry.
I don't fear Minghui.
Just be bold
and do what you want.
I will support you wholeheartedly.
We're in this together.
In my opinion,
you come before
the country.
Therefore, keeping you safe
will always be my top priority.
We are princes.
We have never been insulted like that.
Minghui has gone too far.
She doesn't
respect the princes enough.
The princes get to pick the women.
A woman doesn't get to pick a prince.
Am I right?
You're right.
We'd derive much benefit from his marriage with Minghui.
But her measure is too drastic.
I'm afraid Yinti won't agree to marry her.
Enough of talking.
We'll arrive in the Palace of Heavenly Purity soon.
Behave yourselves.
Don't cause trouble.
The rebellion has been put down.
However, some rebels survived.
All parties must carry out further investigations and enhance security.
Report any unusual movement.
Yes, father.
Dismiss.
Yes.
I have something else to report.
Speak.
I beg you, father, to bestow marriage on me
and Yalaerta Minghui.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
It's time for you to get married.
I bestow it.
Thank you, father.
Mother, have some tea.
Yes.
Have you thought it over?
I have been hesitating
to decide your marriage.
I didn't expect you to
ask your father to bestow marriage on you.
Sorry that I have made you worry.
Marrying Minghui
can win you the strength of Yinglu's family.
But that woman
is too smart.
I'm afraid she's hard to control.
Minghui saved my life.
It's no big deal to marry her.
You're taking it too lightly.
I know she saved you.
But love
sometimes it can be beautiful.
But sometimes,
it hurts just like a weapon.
Mother, don't worry.
I know her.
I have confidence that I can control her.
Alright.
Glad you have thought it over.
I hope
she is a stove that warms you,
not a hot potato.
Mr. Lin.
Thank you. Thank you.
Come in.
Come, Your Highness.
-Drink it up. -Drink it up. -Come on.
-Congratulations. -Congratulations.
Come on.
What's the use of festive ornaments?
I end up alone in the room.
Your Highness.
Are we having a couple's drink?
Is such a formality necessary to us?
Right.
We're simply cooperating.
Is that so?
I pay respect to you, mother.
Have some tea, mother.
I pay respect to you, mother.
Have some tea, mother.
Now you are a couple.
You should live in harmony,
support each other,
and respect each other.
Minghui.
Now you've married into the royal family,
you must abide by the royal family's rules.
As a princess consort,
you must perform your duties.
Your teachings are wise.
I will keep them in mind.
For His Highness,
I will do my best.
Good.
Get up.
Be careful.
Your Highness.
The pastry you ordered the kitchen to make are ready.
Bring it here.
Minghui,
try the special egg-yolk puff of
the Palace of Eternal Spring.
Come.
Thank you, mother.
Mother.
Minghui's wounds aren't healed yet.
The doctor said
she must refrain from eating oily foods.
Look.
You have forgotten already.
My son has learned to care about others.
Take a seat.
Sit.
Minghui is my wife.
It's only natural to care about her.
I'll listen to my son, then.
Minghui,
don't eat any oily food.
Donglian,
take it away.
Bring some healthy snacks here.
Yes, Your Highness.
Mother,
I don't have the privilege
to enjoy your kindness.
We're a family.
Spare the politeness.
Yes.
And you still carry injuries.
Why is your hand so cold?
Bring a stove here.
Warm your hands.
For all the years I lived,
my son has never treated me this way.
Minghui,
you are so lucky.
By the way,
the temple fair will be held on the fifteenth day.
Yinti,
you should take Minghui to the temple fair.
Burn incenses and worship the Buddha at the temple.
Ask the Bodhisattva to bestow a chubby grandson on me.
You are right.
It's important to continue the royal bloodline.
I will spare no effort.
That's your words.
I'll keep it in mind.
Mother not only asked you and me
to leave the palace and burn incenses on the fifteenth day for her,
but also bestowed those precious gifts on me.
I feel so flattered.
There's no one around us.
Drop the act.
Mother treats me well.
It's natural that I feel happy.
Right.
I didn't know you actually have feelings.
For you,
I will do my best.
It is true.
You've fallen for me already.
It seems you want not only the title of Fourteenth Princess Consort,
but also my heart.
Are you still unaware of
my feelings for you?
Didn't I treat you well in front of mother?
You did.
I just don't know
whether your tenderness
was real or fake.
What do you think?
I surely hope it's real.
If I say it's real,
would you believe me?
Of course.
If you think it's real,
it is real.
Is it real
if I think it's real?
I hope we can fake it forever.
What are you doing?
Don't let others see you.
So what if they see us?
I'm kissing my wife.
What's the big deal?
Don't forget that
I'm now a maid in your mansion.
Isn't it normal
for a master to
molest his maid?
You did so
when I was away?
I'd only molest maids who look exactly the same as you.
Qixiang.
Fortunately, I'm the one who came.
If others
see you being lovey-dovey,
they would suspect her.
Look at you. It's your fault.
You deserve the blame.
Qixiang,
I have replaced
all the servants in the mansion.
Don't be so nervous.
Your Highness,
I know you and the Princess Consort are a loving couple.
But her fake death is a serious matter.
If anyone knows about it,
Thirteenth Prince's household
along with Fourth Prince's household would be damned.
Deceiving the emperor is a great sin.
What are they doing?
They don't want to be scolded.
The Princess Consort has been home for some days.
They spend every day with each other,
not worrying that others might see them.
Qixiang.
Are you worrying or jealous?
What are you babbling about?
If you feel bored,
I can play with you.
Qixiang,
I was just kidding.
Don't be so hard on me.
Show disrespect again
and I will throw you into the pond.
I didn't know Qixiang was good at fighting.
A woman too fierce isn't likable.
She doesn't want to get married.
She has to be...
What?
Willing to get married.
You never complain about being trapped in the yard.
Instead, you smile so brightly.
Being with you
is enough for me.
But I feel guilty.
Yinxiang.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is drawing near.
I'll take you out to the temple fair and see the festive lanterns then.
Take me out?
Are you nuts?
There are so many people outside.
No one must recognize me.
I have a brilliant plan.
Masks. Masks.
Free masks.
Come on. Free masks.
It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Free masks.
Here, little girl.
Here.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
I want a mask too.
One for you.
Thank you.
One for you. Come on.
We should check it out.
It's free. It's free. Come on.
Give me one.
Free masks.
One for you.
What do you say?
Today is the fifteenth day,
I've told Shun'er to distribute the masks.
This way, not even your parents
can recognize you.
You really have a plan.
I said to take you out and play.
I'm a man of my word.
Let's go.
What's the rush?
The masks are not on.
Here.
Well?
You're so ugly.
You look the same as me.
Silly.
Come on.
Let's go down there.
Come on.
Be careful.
It's so lively. Look.
Look there.
Let's go that way.
Go there.
That way.
Splendid! Splendid! Splendid!
Put on your mask.
Splendid! Splendid! Splendid!
Let it jump!
Delicious.
Slow down.
Your Highness.
Why do you stare at me?
Is something wrong?
I'm thinking that
you are so well dressed.
It's a shame to
go home directly.
Where would you like to go?
It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Time to enjoy the temple fair, appreciate the festive lanterns,
and not waste the energies you devoted to dressing.
I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient to
stroll down the busy streets in this garment.
You can give up your life for me.
Don't be afraid of this.
Since you are so interested,
I'll go with you today.
Sugar-coated haws.
Steamed buns. Warm steamed buns.
Red paper lanterns.
Sachets. Pretty sachets.
Who are they?
They are Fourteenth Prince and Fourteenth Princess Consort.
I had the honor to see them once when I went to the temple to offer incenses.
No wonder they look so gorgeous.
Fourteenth Prince brought his wife to the temple fair.
Fourteenth Princess Consort is such a lucky woman.
She surely is.
So pretty.
Yeah.
Let's go.
The Princess Consort is beautiful.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Good.
When the moon hung behind willows,
people went out on dates under them.
Buy a lover's knot
and spend the rest of your lives together.
Come and check it out.
Pick anything you like.
Your Highness,
I heard that if lovers
wear the lover's knots on the fifteenth day,
they will have a lasting relationship
and be with each other until the end.
Is that so?
Being with each other until the end is your wish
as well as my wish.
We'll take this one, then.
Sugar-coated haws.
Mister.
Your Highness.
Rouge. Fine rouge.
Alright.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Let's go.
Special patterned cloth. Come and have a look.
By the way,
since we have bought a lover's knot,
we should, as you said,
hang the knot on the top of the branches,
so as to make our wishes come true.
Does it mean we'll walk back to the entrance of the temple?
Of course.
You don't want to walk?
I do.
It's all I could wish for.
Let's go.
Let me help you.
=Pray for peace=
Help me hang it there.
I heard that the higher the lover's knot is hung,
the more likely the wish would come true
and the longer the couple would stay together.
I wish to hang the lover's knot on the top.
What do you think?
You can have it anywhere you want.
You're just teasing me.
No need to beat around the bush.
-That's right. -Awesome.
Good. Awesome.
Let's hang our knot.
Hang it there.
Thank you.
It's a good omen.
Make a wish.
My wish is simply to
spend my life with you.
Your Highness.
Where are we going?
Let's tour the temple.
What's wrong?
It must be tough for you to
make it to this point.
I have made it to this point.
And I can
continue to endure in the future.
Let me carry you.
Sachets. Pretty sachets.
You have followed me for the whole day
to show everyone
a princess consort's attitude.
Now I give you the chance.
Well?
Have you lost the courage to seize the chance?
As Fourteenth Princess Consort,
I'm ready to be treated like a princess consort.
Actually, you could have
just given me the title and nothing more.
Why did you show up on our wedding night?
I married you.
That makes you my wife.
Am I right?
I'm sitting on the rooftop.
The breeze kisses my face.
I feel it light.
The scenery is gorgeous,
but I feel so lonely.
You and I
live in two different spaces.
In your space it's also spring.
There's also a gentle breeze.
There's also this beautiful scenery.
Your face is close to mine.
I can feel your breath.
Your smile has been engraved in the azure sky.
On the lonely rooftop I find no trace of you.
Engraved in my mind
is your tearful face.
I'm no stronger than you.
Deep inside, I'm weeping.
But I want you to remember
my smiling face.
Your face is close to mine.
