(Eternal Love of Dream)
(Episode 25)
What's the tea
that Su Moye made recently called?
Bifuchun tea.
Taste is good.
Would you like to taste it?
The tea...
I don't know Your Majesty is here.
Sorry for my impoliteness.
I pay respects to Your Majesty.
Have a seat.
Are you surprised at meeting me here?
No, I'm not.
This is the first time that I meet Your Majesty.
I couldn't help being delightful.
Please excuse me, Your Majesty.
I'm sorry for the slip of hand,
and losing manners in front of Your Majesty.
Excuse Fengjiu for leaving first and
allow me to learn from
Buddhist Theories and Taoist Principles with Your Majesty another day.
The slip of a cup of tea can't be regarded as losing manners.
Try this one.
The water is cooled when I took the pot just now.
If you spill the water out again,
I may consider it as losing manners.
It's so humorous of you, Your Majesty.
It's so unbelievable.
When I invited His Majesty to see the Haotian Tower,
he refused me.
But now he is entangling with some fairy.
Does he have a thing for that fairy?
Does that mean
if I have a walk around the Lotus Pond
and happen to meet Your Highness,
there's a thing between us?
Of course not.
Si Ming,
the ordinary live in the mortal realm
while our immortals live in the Sanqing Fairyland.
His Majesty
can really be regarded as
being indifferent to everything all over the universe.
Have you ever seen him
show any interest in anyone else?
During the alteration of times,
the Sky Kingdom also witnesses some changes.
The Heavenly Kings from generation to generation come back but go cultivate powerful spiritual strength again,
then they come back with more powerful strength.
Only His Majesty sticks to the
place over the Three-thousand Fairy Lands
in a consistent way.
Then do you know
why he hasn't acted as
indifferent as he used to be to that lady?
Aren't you curious about what's behind it?
Your Highness,
do you know the reason why no one believes
the gossip of Lord Cheng Yu and you,
although you've been trying that hard to spread it?
There's not a single piece of gossip conjecturing
about the relationship between you two in the Sky Kingdom.
What are you talking about, Si Ming?
I don't know it at all.
But keep saying.
A relationship that is conjectured and reproached about
won't be that straight forward,
will it?
Isn't the act of being straight forward
the right thing to do?
You aren't the god to govern the waters in the Four Seas,
why should you be straight forward?
There must be someone who has something to hide and doesn't want to be straight forward first.
Only concealment can catch someone's eye
and cause others' conjecture.
Then the gossip can be spread further and further.
It's so well-planned.
I have to comprehend seriously.
Something
that is as concrete as it is
won't be worth curiosity,
while something is ambiguous,
you tell the truth,
won't you be curious to dig deep into something behind?
It makes sense.
But does it have anything to do with
what I have asked you
about His Majesty just now?
Have a look at the two persons.
Could the two afford the fame of being straight forward
and having a clear conscience respectively?
Of course, they could.
The fairies
that His Majesty once met
either worship him secretly
or chase after him agitato.
So it won't be a big deal that
His Majesty feels a little curious when he seldom
meets someone who doesn't want to have a connection with him
with an ambiguous attitude, will it?
Si Ming,
you really are the mobile gossip encyclopedia in the Sky Kingdom.
I do acknowledge your superiority in this aspect.
You're flattering me, Your Highness.
If I were not aware of
your great talent for the gossip thing,
I would consider that
you're changing the subject on purpose
to protect that fairy.
What's in your hand?
The Thirty-six Stratagems to help you nail the victory in the battle all over the Four Seas.
Isn't it the play you write when you're at your leisure?
I suddenly came up with some muse days ago,
so I intend to write a continuation.
You've never won a single time in a fight since you were a kid.
In case someone believes in what the play you write says,
and follows it,
won't it mislead him?
Won't those who are willing to believe in what a play says
be absent both in heaven or on earth?
That makes sense.
I heard the two immortal lords were too scared,
when they came back to their own fairy mountain.
I haven't punched them.
Mi Gu can prove it for me.
I know you don't like them from the bottom of your heart.
I certainly won't force you.
But since you don't have the obsessiveness anymore,
why don't you give yourself a chance
to experience the happiness that a young girl can have?
His Majesty is coming.
Welcome you, Your Majesty.
Rise.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Today Emperor Dong Hua should have admired the flowers with me today.
Hasn't he come yet?
Report to you, father.
Chief Immortal Messenger Chong Lin, who is subordinate to Emperor Dong Hua,
came to notice that
His Majesty has been studying etiquette and law these days,
and he won't attend the ceremony.
As far as I'm concerned,
His Majesty is clement.
How come we start the ceremony first to
accept His Majesty's clemency?
Deliver the dishes.
Start the ceremony.
Hurry up, Sister Fengjiu.
Li, come here.
Don't be hurt by the spiritual power
of the Miaohua Mirror.
The Miaohua Mirror?
Sister Fengjiu,
isn't it a waterfall?
Don't you know that
the waterfall
is where the Miaohua Mirror is located?
If your magic power is strong enough,
you can drive the Miaohua Mirror with your power.
Then you'll be able to see how any generation rises and falls
among billions of generations of the mortal realm.
Sister Fengjiu, you mean
we can see any place in the mortal realm through this waterfall.
Then let's have a try.
The immortal waterfalls surrounding the Miaohua Mirror are powerful.
Only immortals with strong magic power
can overwhelm the immortal waterfalls without being hurt.
Who can own this kind of magic power?
Can my father own it?
Among the gods, only Emperor Dong Hua can make it.
You can't make it.
Stay away from it.
My father is the craftiest.
I do remember that
I slept in my mother's Changsheng Hall at night yesterday,
but when I woke up this morning in my Qingyun Hall.
Father lied to me that
it was because I sleepwalked back,
but the truth was that he wanted to be with mother alone,
and he embraced me back to my place after I was asleep.
It's so crafty of him
to lie to his own son.
Then why don't you
knock the door of the Changsheng Hall
and cry out loud as soon as you wake up?
How impolitic you are!
I heard that only women can badger someone
by means of crying, making troubles and committing suicide.
Can a boy do this either?
Certainly.
It's the most effective method
all over the Eight Deserts and Six Directions.
As long as you master it,
there won't be anything that you can't achieve on earth.
Let's go.
Sister Fengjiu,
how long will it take to go to the Chengtian Stage for a play?
It's there, the one ahead of us.
Shall we have a rest here first
and take some snacks?
Then we walk faster after eating them up.
Have a seat.
You guess, what's delicious in it?
Smell it.
Father,
the flower spirit in the Jade Pool has been well cultivated.
I sincerely invite you to have a look at them.
I haven't seen the flower spirit in the Jade Pool in a hundred and twenty years.
Let's admire them together.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
What... What's up?
Something's wrong.
Watch out.
Are you fine?
Why are you coming here?
I'm coming to check on you.
Go away.
It's my fault to fail to cultivate flower spirit
and disturb Your Majesty.
Even death cannot atone for the offence.
You can't even perform well on the post of
the Jade Pool Fairy which has little to do.
I can hardly absolve myself from the blame.
Please judge it cautiously, father.
It's me who force Lord Cheng Yu
to cultivate the flower spirit for me
regardless of the flowering phase.
Please punish me together.
Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness.
I'm the one who takes care of the flower spirit.
I'm the one who should take the responsibility.
And there's nothing to do with Third Prince.
The flower spirit was cultivated in the Yuan Ji Palace.
How could it have nothing to do with me?
It's fine. It's fine.
Hundreds of flowers are in bloom,
and immortal fellows are gathering together to celebrate
in the Mile-fleurs Ceremony this time,
which is the contribution of you two.
But there's something wrong with the flower spirit,
you two also should take the responsibility.
Merits equal demerits.
It'll be fine, if you two behave well next time.
- Thanks for your forgiveness, father. - Thanks for your forgiveness, Your Majesty.
Why is it on fire?
Li, go find your mother
to carry out rescue right now.
Zhihe,
why don't you conjure up rain?
The gods entitles you to the Water God.
What's it from,
and what's it for?
It would be fine,
if the fierce beast is killed directly by the pottery-made sword.
But the process of killing it to death
will take long.
I'm afraid Mi Gu wouldn't be able to hang in there for so long.
What I can do is lure the beast out of its place.
Your Highness.
Move, move, move.
Leave here now.
Move. Move. Move.
Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.
Your Highness.
Mi Gu, give me your clothes.
Hurry up.
Your Highness, well... I...
Do you get a problem with
my clothes?
How dare I?
It's just if I lend the gown this time,
I'll have to clean it when I return it later on.
And I'll have to meet Your Majesty again.
Thus, I'll bother Your Majesty once more, won't I?
I'm
afraid to disturb Your Majesty.
Don't get it wrong, Your Majesty.
It isn't because Her Highness doesn't want to meet Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is so distinguished
that Her Highness even wants to meet you every day.
Since then,
leave it to you as a souvenir.
Don't turn it back.
I don't mean it.
Then give it back to me
after cleaning it.
I don't want to borrow your gown, do I?
It's warm today.
It isn't cold at all.
I would not like to borrow the gown, would I?
No, you wouldn't.
Why?
I've saved you.
A kindness of saving a life can be requited by sacrificing one.
Not to mention cleaning a piece of clothing.
Why does Your Majesty force me?
Except it,
I don't have any other interest.
Your Majesty, you're so...
What's wrong with me?
Why do you save them?
When my aunt taught me, she once said that
the Princess of Qingqiu doesn't need to strive for the first for everything.
What Qingqiu wants from me is not the honor I can get,
but to step forward bravely when something happens.
If I left them in the lurch this time,
how would I make my subjects
believe in me continuously?
Your Highness has been working so hard to hold the ceremony.
You can finally take a rest now.
Your Highness.
Cheng Yu.
There's nothing special.
I just come to express my gratitude.
It's not easy to cultivate flower spirit.
You don't have to blame yourself.
It's the matter within my duties.
I owe you a debt of gratitude
no matter what's happened.
I'll pay you back later on.
How do you intend to pay me back?
Let me ponder over it.
You have to pay me back.
I'll go ask whether Si Ming has found the reason.
Then I'll show you my gratitude later.
Sister Fengjiu,
you've been absent-minded since you came back,
which is the same as my mother used to act.
Do you have your sweetheart?
Isn't it the token of love?
Don't talk nonsense.
Bow to you, Your Highness Fengjiu, Your Highness Heavenly Grandson.
Has aunt ordered anything?
Her Majesty has asked me
to send the books to Your Highness.
Have you said something to your mother?
I haven't mentioned anything.
You've taught me to be thick-skinned.
So I ask my mother what it means,
and how to be more thick-skinned than my father.
Her Majesty has ordered
if Your Highness doesn't finish copying the books,
she will arrange a blind-date banquet
lasting from evening to dawn for you.
What?
A blind date will be enough.
Why should it be a blind-date banquet?
Sister Fengjiu,
what's a blind-date banquet?
There are different public opinions
on the fire on the Chengtian Stage in the immortal realm today.
Some say that you are trapped
in the mortal realm
from the Sanqing Fairyland.
One mentions
the fire set by the Red-fire Beast on the Chengtian Stage.
When Prince Zhihe, Your Majesty's foster sister, was stuck in the fire,
you came to
help her out in time,
which showed how differently
you treated your foster sister.
Another one says that
when the Chengtian Stage was on fire,
His Majesty passed by
and saw an extremely beautiful fairy
fighting fiercely with the Red-fire Beast,
but she was the underdog.
His Majesty can't bear not
to help her out.
Someone said that you felt urgent to
help the beauty out.
I don't believe it.
But if
you change your mind
and decide to marry an empress,
Zhihe will be a great option.
How about
me mentioning it to my father
to pardon Zhihe's crime of degradation
and allow her to go back to the Tai Chen Palace,
when she comes back.
A beauty?
They think she looks pretty.
Then they really have good taste.
You do meet a beauty on the Chengtian Stage.
Do you come to play the game of go with me?
Let's play the game of go. Let's do it. Do it.
Your Highness.
Your Highness,
haven't you dressed up?
What's the time?
Why are you all here?
Her Majesty has ordered
to let us dress you up
and escort you to the Baoyueguang Garden hurriedly.
Young talents all over the Eight Deserts and Six Directions
are waiting for Your Highness.
Aunt,
how cruelhearted you are!
Why do you save them?
When my aunt taught me, she once said that
the Princess of Qingqiu doesn't need to strive for the first for everything.
What Qingqiu wants from me is not the honor I can get,
but to step forward bravely when something happens.
If I left them in the lurch,
how would I make my subjects
believe in me continuously?
Report to Your Majesty, Zhihe...
Bow to you, foster brother.
What's up?
I've realized that
I'm too young and obtrusive since I pleaded guilty.
Thanks to the nursing from foster brother
as well as the clemency from His Majesty,
I can get the chance to return to the Sky Kingdom.
I've been missing you up to this day,
foster brother.
Have you...
The Heavenly King is clement,
so you should go visit him in person.
Father has entrusted me to you,
but I should have been an apprentice to Lord Doumu.
Now I've been degraded
and my academic career is left uncultivated,
I can't help feeling ashamed.
What I'm requesting you now is to help me return to the heavenly palace
and continue to the cultivation
according to my late father's unfulfilled wish.
I think I, Bai Fengjiu,
can be counted as a veteran to blind dates.
See how I deal with the situation.
See.
She's coming.
Is she Her Highness Fengjiu?
She is.
She is. She is Her Highness Fengjiu.
I'm done.
Your Highness Fengjiu,
where are you going?
Your Highness Fengjiu.
Wait for me, Your Highness Fengjiu.
Your Highness Fengjiu, wait for me.
Your Highness Fengjiu.
Wait for me.
Your Highness,
stop running.
Your Highness Fengjiu.
Your Highness Fengjiu,
wait for me.
I'll be able to elude three or five persons,
but a group of people,
over ten persons,
how could I make it?
Excuse me. Excuse me.
I'm leaving.
What are you doing here?
Your...
Your... Your... Your... Your Majesty.
Why is he here?
Have a shower.
Don't stare at me.
Turn around.
Stop staring. Turn around. Come on.
Wait.
You've left something else.
Well...
two more.
I've left my fan here.
If I disturb you,
I'll come to make an apology some other day.
I'm leaving.
Bai Fengjiu,
you're the one who's going to succeed to the throne of Qingqiu.
You're no longer the little fox in the Tai Chen Palace.
You have to calm down.
Calm down.
To calm down.
Bow to you, Your Highness.
Chong Lin,
don't go find His Majesty,
since it's late.
But, I...
Listen to me. Go back first.
Yes.
Where is she?
She climbed over the wall and left.
Don't you chase after her, do you?
The beauty you met on the Chengtian Stage
is Bai Fengjiu from Qingqiu.
You have to ponder it over that
if you marry her as your empress,
you'll have to call Ye Hua uncle.
I intend to accept Cheng Yu as my nominal daughter later.
What do you think?
The most miserable thing in the world
is to make friends carelessly.
Is he turning aside from the topic we're talking about?
Li,
if you once fall for a girl
and you meet each other again many years after,
however, you let her know that
you're wearing diapers,
what will you do?
I haven't worn diapers long before.
I mean if it happens.
If it happens...
It will be too humiliating.
Only the situation where
your bellyband
drops in front of your ex-sweetheart
when you meet him
can roughly compare with
this humiliating thing.
If that happens,
I would find a chunk of tofu to hit myself
to death.
Sister, where're you going?
Go find a chunk of tofu.
Mother was finding you the whole night yesterday.
Has your mother looked for me?
Yes.
Do you want to know what she has said?
Spill it out.
Xiaojiu is so capricious,
then where can I find someone to marry her?
Even Lord Cheng Yu has found her a good match.
Cheng Yu?
What happens to Cheng Yu?
It's what my mother has said.
Lord Cheng Yu offended His Majesty
in the Mile-fleurs Ceremony.
Thanks to Third Prince, she's well protected.
I haven't expected that some part of Third Prince is so sentimental,
since he used to be philandering.
How come I don't know what happens to Cheng Yu?
I'll go check on her.
Xiaojiu is so capricious,
then where can I find someone to marry her?
Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu,
are you OK?
I'm fine.
Absolutely fine.
Have a seat.
I was escaping from the blind date
my aunt arranged for me yesterday.
I've just heard what happened to you
in the Mille-fleurs Ceremony.
Are you OK?
It's great you're OK.
Since you're OK with it now,
have you
fallen for Third Prince,
since he rescued you?
Don't talk nonsense.
You mentioned the blind date,
so have you met anyone who you have a thing for these days?
How could I meet my sweetheart?
I just feel worn out
for the escape these days.
When mentioning the escape thing,
no one can outweigh you.
Wait a second.
Where is my bracelet?
- Where is my bracelet? - Don't be too worried.
Ponder it over.
Did you lose it somewhere yesterday?
Yesterday...
I know where I lost it.
Screwed up.
