<i>Scarlet Heart</i> Episode 15
Greetings to Fourth Prince.
Rise.
You, too, like the lotus flowers here?
Yes.
I like the peacefulness here.
All right.
I'll bring you to a place that's truly peaceful.
Fourth Prince, how did you know
that there was a boat here?
I like this place
so I had a boat made and placed it here.
Get in the boat.
♫ <i>Waiting for summer, waiting for autumn,</i> ♫
♫ <i> waiting for the next season.</i> ♫
♫ <i>I have to wait for the moon to become full, before you'll be back at my side again.</i> ♫
Right now I want to have a rest.
You can do whatever you want.
♫ <i>What to do? I still think of you.</i> ♫
♫ <i>I suddenly want to see your face.</i> ♫
♫ <i>That familiar feeling.</i> ♫
♫ <i>It's all right even if we don't hold hands.</i> ♫
♫ <i>We stroll through wind and frost.</i> ♫
♫ <i>Even if we can't see each other, we will still yearn for each other day and night.</i> ♫
♫ <i>I just want to let you know</i> ♫
♫ <i>that I really am doing well.</i> ♫
♫ <i>Loving you my whole life,</i> ♫
♫ <i>I, too, will wait for you till I'm old.</i> ♫
♫ <i>I just want to let you know</i> ♫
♫ <i>I can't let go, neither can I forget</i> ♫
♫ <i>Your smile and your goodness</i> ♫
♫ <i>are warm supports for me</i> ♫
♫ <i>Waiting for summer, waiting for autumn,</i> ♫
You're not to keep looking at me in this manner.
Let go.
I'll let go if you put it down.
Then, you can't look at me like you were doing just now.
All right.
♫ <i>I suddenly want to see your face.</i> ♫
♫ <i>That familiar feeling.</i> ♫
A gentleman never goes back on his word.
♫ <i>Even if we can't see each other, we will still yearn for each other day and night.</i> ♫
Get up a little.
I want to sit up.
♫ <i>I just want to let you know</i> ♫
♫ <i>that I really am doing well.</i> ♫
♫ <i>Loving you my whole life,</i> ♫
♫ <i>I, too, will wait for you till I'm old.</i> ♫
♫ <i>I just want to let you know</i> ♫
Fourth Prince, do you often come here to rest?
Occasionally?
I can see Fourth Prince likes this place quite a lot.
Why is it just occasionally?
Indulging in beautiful things
will only cause people to lose their wits.
Let's go.
♫ <i>are warm supports for me</i> ♫
<i>He's returned to being an ice-block face again.</i>
Ruoxi.
Eunuch Li.
All right.
I think, you're going to have to prepare more
tea and tea sets this time.
Why is that?
Is His Majesty going on an expedition again?
The list of who's accompanying His Majesty has already been announced.
Looks like the expedition this time
will be pretty lively.
Crown Prince... Fourth Prince... Eighth Prince...
Ninth Prince... Thirteenth Prince... Fourteenth Prince...
Fourteenth Prince?
Eunuch Li,
will Princess Minmin be going for this expedition?
That's of course.
Then I want to ask you a favor--
All right, all right.
This time, don't try to get out of it.
Now that your health has greatly improved,
you have no more reasons to be excused.
Eunuch Li.
- Eunuch Li-- - Ruoxi,
I am telling you,
you need to hurry up and adjust your mentality.
Serve His Majesty wholeheartedly.
Nothing else matters.
You're not young anymore.
You don't have many years left in the palace.
In future, your marriage
hangs on the word of His Majesty.
Jie Jie.
Leaving the Forbidden City and coming outside the Great Wall.
It really is different.
Let's not talk about the other things,
just this boundless grassland
and the vast azure blue sky
is enough to make one feel spirited.
You're right.
The grasslands outside the Great Wall
is truly a place where one can be free.
No wonder His Majesty
often makes expeditions outside the Great Wall.
His Majesty doesn't come just to enjoy this scenery.
This I know.
His Majesty needs to meet the Mongolian king to discuss politics as well.
I heard that in a few days, the Mongolians will be coming to see His Majesty.
Yes, they're reaching soon.
I cannot be unprepared.
Jie Jie, what else is needed? I'll go prepare it.
Nothing much.
It'll be fine as long as we hurry and get things ready.
All right.
Greetings to Fourteenth Prince.
- Fourteenth Prince, I have something to say to you. - I have nothing to say to you.
It's regarding the subject last time.
And related to Princess Minmin.
I owe you a favor. What do you want?
Princess Minmin will be coming in a few days.
I wanted to find you to discuss
how we should explain things to her.
Just tell her the truth,
and then apologize
and say a few nice words to appease her, won't that be enough?
Is it really that simple?
I'm afraid Princess Minmin
isn't that easy to appease.
In my opinion, you, Maertai Ruoxi,
are a master of appeasement.
Is it necessary for you to be so worried?
<i>Jerk!</i>
Today, King Suwan Guwalgiya will come.
You must take good care of him for me.
He mustn't be neglected.
Yes.
Ruoxi, what's wrong?
Are you all right?
- I'm fine. - All right.
Imperial Father,
regarding the task you assigned to me...
Imperial Father,
I feel a little unwell and need the toilet,
I would like to be excused for a while.
Go then.
<i>It's good that Fourteenth Prince has excused himself for a while.</i>
<i>At least it'll give me the chance</i>
<i>to explain to Princess Minmin.</i>
<i>Mongolian King Suwan Guwalgiya has arrived!</i>
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Please rise, Your Highness.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many months, you are the picture of health.
I heard that Your Majesty has gained another grandchild,
it truly deserves congratulations.
I, too, feel very comforted.
Your Highness, doesn't the same goes for you? You have many children and grandchildren.
Furthermore, you teach your children well,
all of them are competent and lead the various tribes
to keep the border peaceful.
How can I compare to Your Majesty?
All the princes are wise and valorous,
with outstanding bearing.
Your Highness, don't praise them anymore,
otherwise they'll get arrogant.
Come, sit.
Please sit.
Please.
<i>Even if she's a goddess,</i>
<i>if she doesn't move my heart,</i>
<i>why is there need to persuade anymore?</i>
I've long heard that the the eldest Prince Jiuwen
is a master of horseback riding and archery.
If there's an opportunity,
I would like to ask for your guidance.
The Central Plains have this saying,
"Give a hero his due respect."
I've also long heard of your good reputation.
Let's compare notes and learn from each other.
Your Highness is too modest. Please drink some tea.
Why hasn't Fourteenth Prince returned?
Reporting to Imperial Father,
since yesterday, Fourteenth Prince's stomache has already been feeling unwell.
I fear that there was something off with his food recently.
Has the imperial physician been summoned yet?
Not yet.
Don't think that because you're young,
you don't need to pay attention to small illnesses and minor ailments.
I'll keep that in mind.
Quickly summon the imperial physician
and have him see to Fourteenth Prince.
Yes.
Now that I'm older, do I find out the importance
of regularly taking care of one's health.
Your Majesty is absolutely right.
I, too, pay attention to what I regularly consume.
In spring and summer, you cultivate the <i>yang</i>; in fall and winter, you cultivate the <i>yin</i>.
Use eating habits to balance one's health. Obeying the cycle of sprouting, growing, harvesting, storing,
we should follow the change in the four seasons.
As they say, our bodies should be regulated to follow the rhythm of nature.
Let's drink tea.
Please.
Please.
Eighth Brother, have you already met the Mongolian King and Princess Minmin?
Why?
Ruoxi is still worried to death.
Fourteenth Brother,
it's only natural that Ruoxi is worried.
We're the ones who implicated her.
Eighth Brother, why are you still so considerate towards her?
No matter what,
it was to help us that Ruoxi
lied to Minmin.
We shouldn't let our feelings cloud our judgement
just because of what happened between the two of us.
We need to think of a way
to help Ruoxi solve this problem.
I understand.
Actually, seeing Ruoxi look so worried,
I don't have the heart to do it either.
But avoiding Princess Minmin isn't a long-term solution either.
Just as Ruoxi said,
apologizing might not necessarily be of any use.
I think Ruoxi
will definitely find Princess Minmin to explain.
Let's work together with her
to apologize to Princess Minmin.
Once her temper cools,
we'll give her an explanation.
I understand.
If there's anything,
I will take all responsibility
and won't implicate Ruoxi
and cause her to suffer.
<i>It's best not to delay matters.</i>
<i>It's best that the situation gets resolved as soon as possible,</i>
<i>otherwise dragging it on might lead to trouble,</i>
<i>and who knows what other complications might arise.</i>
<i>But how should I explain it?</i>
Greetings to Princess Minmin.
Ruoxi, get up, get up.
You and I don't need to be so formal.
I haven't seen you for the good half of a year. How are you doing?
Everything's fine. And you?
I'm fine as well.
- You... - You...
You speak first.
Did you help me ask?
He doesn't have any feelings for me?
Since your father
doesn't wish for you to marry Thirteenth Prince as well,
from now on, you
should stop thinking about him.
Why?
Why doesn't he like me?
Don't tell me I can't compare to his Fujin?
Princess, it's really not because you're not good.
I need to go ask him!
What about me does he not like?
Princess!
Princess!
- Giddy up! - Princess!
Princess!
Princess Minmin!
Fourteenth Prince.
I just want to know which part of me is not good enough?
This is not a place for talking.
Princess, please return.
Imperial Father is still waiting for me and Fourteenth Brother.
What is there that cannot be said?
You... why are you here?
Fourteenth Brother you know each other?
Fourteenth Brother? You're Fourteenth Prince?
That's right.
You lied to me!
Princess, please listen to me.
Is he or is he not Fourteenth Prince?
Princess, listen to me explain.
Then is he the person you like?
You lied to me!
You've been using me all along!
I regarded you as my trusted sister,
I told you all my feelings.
But why did you treat me this way?
Princess, didn't you say that
once the child of the grasslands recognizes someone as a friend,
they won't easily give up?
I beg you to forgive me this time.
It was wrong of me to lie to you.
But I did it for a reason,
I beg of you to listen to my explanation.
You're close to her?
Yes.
Then did you know
she tricked me into hiding Fourteenth Prince?
I didn't know.
Is that how you treat friends?
You lied to him and to me.
Princess.
I need to go tell the Emperor!
I want to see
what dirty deeds you guys have done in the past!
Princess, you mustn't!
You can hit me or yell at me.
It's all my fault!
Princess, I understand if you're upset.
Regarding the matter that happened half a year ago,
there's no need to trouble the Princess to report it,
I'll personally go to Imperial Father to make matters clear.
Fourteenth Brother!
What's such a big deal
that it's worthy of being brought up to Imperial Father?
She used me to hide Fourteenth Prince.
Both of them were acting very suspicious.
Who knows what they were doing.
Ruoxi is not that kind of person.
Princess, I fear that you're mistaken.
At that time,
the Crown Prince said someone attempted to assassinate him.
It's because I believed Ruoxi,
I thought the two were in love, therefore I helped them.
Now, thinking back,
what if at that time, there really was someone trying to assassinate the Crown Prince?
Princess, there's no need for you to worry about this,
neither is there a need for you to be upset over it.
My Fourteenth Brother
and Ruoxi have played together since young.
It's only normal for him to come visit her in disguise.
There really isn't a need
to alarm Imperial Father.
You're so protective over her,
without even asking for a reason?
Is that necessary?
What if it were me,
would you do the same?
Without even asking for any explanation,
blindly siding with her?
Thirteenth Prince.
As to what kind of person Ruoxi is,
I know it within my heart.
Naturally, I don't need to ask so much.
Princess!
- Princess! - Rouxi!
- Princess! - Get on the horse.
Ruoxi,
no matter what happens later,
remember to push the blame on me.
I'm a prince after all.
Even though defying an imperial decree is a severe matter,
but no matter what, I won't be in mortal danger. Do you understand?
Princess, please have mercy,
I, Thirteenth Prince, will be infinitely grateful.
What is the matter with you all?
- Greetings to Your Majesty. - Greetings to Imperial Father.
Rise.
Minmin, aren't you going to hurry and greet the Emperor?
Your Majesty,
this girl has always been spoiled by me,
and runs wild on the grassland all day,
She can't compare with the princesses in the Forbidden City,
not knowing proper etiquette.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Greetings to Imperial Father.
- Rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Imperial Father.
Princess,
why does your face hold anger?
Did Thirteenth Prince bully you?
It's just that I wanted to have a horse race with Ruoxi,
but Thirteenth Prince didn't agree,
so we argued a but.
Thirteenth Prince,
why didn't you agree?
You've made Princess Minmin mad.
Even though it hasn't been long since Ruoxi learned how to ride,
but having a competition shouldn't be a problem.
Then, Your Majesty,
are you allowing me to have a horse race with Ruoxi?
Minmin, stop fooling around.
Just let them have a try.
After all, watching it will entertain us,
it can't be considered fooling around.
Go and get ready then.
This time, for Thirteenth Prince's sake,
I'll give you a chance.
If you win, we'll never mention this again.
But if you lose,
then don't blame me.
You count this as giving a chance?
If you want to compete, why don't you compete with me?
Enough.
Hurry and help your lover
pick out a good horse.
This time,
I won't be like last year,
and purposely let you win anymore.
Thank you, Princess.
It's fine. Do your best in the competition.
Even if you lose, don't be afraid, you'll still have me.
I hope that this plan to use my manly good looks to charm her
will be of some use.
Thank you.
Princess, do you mean what you say?
If I win,
we'll still be friends.
If you're able to beat me after only learning to ride for a few months,
of course I won't argue.
Ruoxi!
Hurry and stop it!
Ruoxi!
Ruoxi!
Ruoxi!
What happened?
Come.
Ruoxi,
are you all right?
You... you guys have multiple faces!
What does she mean multiple faces?
What is she saying?
Ruoxi, are you all right?
You're dismissed.
Yes.
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Thank god!
You really put your life on line for it?
Fine,
I won't mention this matter anymore.
Actually, when I was selecting the horse just now,
I wasn't thinking of telling the Emperor anymore.
I just wanted to anger you.
Who told you to trick me in the first place?
What are you doing?
I already said that I don't blame you!
Why are you still doing this?
The reason why you don't blame me is because you're magnanimous,
but this matter is truly my fault.
Naturally, I should kowtow to you.
Honestly!
Hurry and get up.
Thirteenth Prince, Fourteenth Prince,
the Emperor and the King are getting worried.
Please return quickly.
Understood. You may go.
Yes.
Let's go.
Ruoxi, did you get hurt?
No.
Is your desire to win that strong?
This servant knows her mistake.
Your Majesty, it's not her fault.
I was the one who forced her to race with me.
What on earth did you guys wager, Ruoxi,
that you had to win so badly?
We didn't wager anything.
Minmin, you're not to be rude.
Ruoxi has been by my side for so many years,
I know her character very well.
If there wasn't a reason why she had to win,
she definitely wouldn't have acted in such a manner.
Imperial Father. Imperial Father!
Your Majesty.
Your Highness, please rise.
This is all my daughter's fault.
I have some matters
I want to discuss with you in private.
All of you are dismissed.
Prince Heshu,
if you have some time,
- would you like to come over to my place to drink some tea? - This way please.
I'm very honored.
Please.
Please.
Princess Minmin,
what was just now about?
Crown Prince, didn't you see it?
It was just a horse racing competition. Ruoxi won and I lost.
All right then.
I still have other matters,
so I'll take my leave first.
Princess is truly a child of the plains,
even the Crown Prince
was rebuffed.
Princess, what do you think
the King will say to the Emperor?
I reckon that Father misunderstood that both of us
were fighting over Thirteenth Prince, so he felt that it wouldn't be good to continue on.
Your father didn't misunderstand.
Isn't this the truth?
Otherwise...
why did you get so angry earlier?
Why can't you concede even just the slightest?
You really are!
Good princess, if you don't have a guilty conscience,
why would you be afraid of others talking?
You're only exposing your tracks more and more obviously.
You...
hiding behind someone's back,
what kind of brave hero does that?
I'm just a mere girl,
I've never thought of being some brave hero.
Although, I am hiding behind the back of a brave hero.
Hey, I'm refuse to uphold this false reputation.
Princess, do whatever you have to,
please don't stand on ceremony.
Princess,
she just had a big scare on the horse.
Why don't you let her off this once?
Look at those two!
Don't know if they were deceiving me then, or deceiving me now.
If you had ever seen those two fighting,
this wouldn't seem strange at all.
Really?
Really.
Those two argue at the drop of a hat.
One argues till his face is red and his throat is sore.
The other argues until big fat tears spill from her eyes.
- Thirteenth Prince! - Thirteenth Brother!
Fine. Fine.
I won't say any more. All right?
I don't dare to provoke Fourteenth Brother,
for
provoking Fourteenth Brother
is equivalent to provoking Eighth and Ninth Brother.
When all three of you come at me together,
I don't stand a chance.
Ruoxi,
this time I really need to thank you.
The person you need to thank is Thirteenth Prince,
there's no need to thank me.
I was just saving myself.
I wouldn't have thought that Thirteenth Brother's plan to use his manly good looks to charm her
would really work so well.
Even less that he would step out to help me.
Since you put it like that,
you're going to thank him personally?
You are a prince. To swallow your pride and thank Thirteenth Prince
is really not easy.
It's not like I said that I wouldn't go to thank him.
Not only do you have to thank him, you have to give an explanation too.
How should I explain it?
Tell the truth.
The truth?
Thirteenth Prince was willing to help without any questions asked.
Of course I need to treat him with the same trust.
I think that Thirteenth Prince has already sent Princess Minmin off,
and should be back by now.
Say it, you two,
why did you come to find me?
Ruoxi,
it's because I knew that you would come look for me,
that's why I specially bade farewell to Fourth Brother
to sit here to wait.
That day, after hearing that His Majesty was transferring a good number of officials,
Fourteenth Prince defied the imperial decree
to come and find Eighth Prince.
I was the one who arranged for them to meet.
For some unknown reason,
they were discovered by the Crown Prince.
Under the pretext of catching a thief,
they wanted to capture Fourteenth Prince.
Left with no better choice,
I lied to Princess Minmin,
and said that Fourteenth Prince was my lover.
I asked for her to help me
hide Fourteenth Prince,
and evade capture by the Crown Prince.
I say, no wonder Fourteenth Brother reported illness to stay at home during that period,
he actually came to outside the Great Wall.
Thirteenth Brother, regardless,
I really have to thank you this time.
Thank me?
Rare. Truly rare.
Ruoxi,
your abilities are not to be slighted.
Thirteenth Prince,
will you report this to Fourth Prince?
You don't want Fourth Brother to know about this?
Regarding this matter,
I don't want to hide it from Fourth Brother.
Even if Fourth Brother were to know about what Fourteenth Brother did,
so what?
Are you two still worried that
he would tell Imperial Father about this?
Furthermore,
half of the reason that
I helped you this time
is because of my friendship with Ruoxi.
The other half is also because of Fourth Brother and Concubine De.
Fourteenth Brother, our Fourth Brother
may appear aloof,
and is too hard-handed in the way he handles some matters.
But you can rest assured
that no matter what, he wouldn't go to the extent
of doing anything against his own little brother.
All right.
That's all for this matter.
I want to drink tea.
This.
Thirteenth Brother,
does she always behave like this when she's with you?
This lass has always been like that.
Usually,
she does even more insolent things than this.
Thirteenth Prince,
King Suwan-Guwalgiya
knows about Princess Minmin's feelings.
Be careful that he might get you to be his son-in-law.
Let him be.
If he doesn't mind Princess Minmin marrying me as a minor wife,
then I can only marry her.
But she sincerely likes you!
If you don't like her,
then don't marry her.
She is not a piece of furniture which
you can just marry and display at home.
I don't want to hold her up either,
but if Imperial Father issues an edict,
do you want me to defy his order?
I don't care.
Whatever it is, if you don't like Minmin,
you can't marry her.
I...
Ruoxi! Ruoxi!
Fourteenth Prince, please return.
I'm going to visit Princess Minmin.
Are you going to advise Minmin not to marry Thirteenth Brother?
Actually, I don't want her to marry Thirteenth Brother either.
Minmin is the precious daughter of the King.
If she marries Thirteenth Brother,
I fear that it won't be beneficial to Eighth Brother.
Fourteenth Prince, you'd better return.
You don't have to tell me matters like this.
Rouxi.
Earlier, when I saw how you interacted with Thirteenth Brother,
I felt that I've belittled you these few years.
Now, I'm willing to sincerely befriend you,
but look at your attitude towards me.
How am I inferior to Thirteenth Brother?
Don't you forget that
you originated from Eighth Brother's residence.
Thirteenth Prince will never give me any pressure.
Our friendship does not
involve any material gain.
Thirteenth Prince would also never have said
what you said just now.
That's the difference.
- <i>Get out. - Minmin, do listen to our father.</i>
<i>Princess, don't throw things anymore.</i>
<i>I don't want to listen, all of you go away.</i>
<i>Princess, you...</i>
Greetings to Prince Heshu.
Miss Rouxi, don't stand on ceremony.
<i>- Princess, don't. </i> - What's wrong with Princess Minmin?
This is such a headache.
It's great that you are here.
Miss Rouxi,
help me to persuade her.
<i>Princess, don't be angry.</i>
<i>- Princess. - I don't want to hear it.</i>
<i>Go away.</i>
Princess, don't be angry.
<i>I don't want to hear. Get lost.</i>
Miss Rouxi.
You go out first.
Yes.
Bring a basin of water later.
Yes.
Rouxi.
My father begged the Emperor
to grant me a marriage.
Who is it?
It's a Prince from Irgen-Gioro tribe.
They will be here to see the Emperor soon.
They are one of the eight big tribes of the grassland, right?
Anyway, I'm not marrying him.
Even if I'm to hang myself with a rope, I'm not marrying him!
Princess Minmin,
are you really prepared to marry Thirteenth Prince
and become a minor wife of his?
Staying in a small courtyard,
spending the whole day hoping that after he returns from court,
he will remember you and go over to visit you?
To put it cruelly,
you aren't Thirteenth Prince's love.
With your character,
if you get into an argument with his other wives,
have you considered if he will help you?
I know it might be a little cruel for me to say this.
But Princess, think about it seriously,
among the wives your father has,
besides a few who are favored by your father,
how have the rest spent their lives?
Have you ever thought that
one day,
you will become like them?
Right now, your father's doing this
not to actually make you marry some prince.
He only wants you to give up on Thirteenth Prince.
Do you know
why your father stopped us today?
In my opinion, it's not because he's afraid of losing face because we got into a jealous fight over Thirteenth Prince.
If it's not because of losing face,
then what was it for?
The Emperor has been trying to win over the various tribes of the grassland all this while.
If his son can marry you,
he will be delighted for it to happen.
If what happened today were made known,
I fear that the Emperor will finalize your marriage with Thirteenth Prince.
King Suwan-Guwalgiya,
no matter how unwilling he is,
he won't be able to object.
It's because you father wanted to protect you,
that's why he was in such a rush to speak out
and take responsibility for everything.
Princess,
you have a father and brother who sincerely love you.
If you stay on the grasslands,
no one will dare to bully you.
Your beauty has also attracted
the attention of the Crown Prince,
but your father is just pretending to be oblivious.
It it'd been other fathers,
they would have made use of marriage
to exchange for more power.
Princess, as someone born into privilege,
with regards to such stories,
you should have also seen and heard of them before.
Tears don't suit you.
Don't tell me your strong will
is used to go against your father?
If you don't want to marry
that whatever prince,
you could pretend
to be suicidal
to threaten your father.
As long as you give up on Thirteenth Prince,
I think that it will still be of use.
So, I...
cannot see Thirteenth Prince in future again?
Yes.
Then, can I still
meet someone like Thirteenth Prince in the future?
If you give up on this moon, Thirteenth Prince,
you'll definitely be able to find a star that belongs to you.
He will be better than him, and love you more.
But I still feel like crying.
Cry then.
Remember that after you're done crying,
dry your eyes, and
raise your head.
Don't miss
the star that belongs to you.
Rouxi.
Princess Minmin.
Why are you standing on ceremony with me?
My father promised me that
he will beg the Emperor not to appoint my marriage anymore.
He says that he wanted me to
find someone I like on the grasslands on my own accord.
But my father also says that the Irgen-Gioro Zuoying
suits his fancy a lot.
That's good. I'm happy for you.
My father always praises you, and
he said that no wonder His Majesty places you in such high regard.
How did that come about?
Because I told him
that I've figured it all out
and don't want to marry Thirteenth Prince anymore.
My father thought that I was just coaxing him and was lying to him.
So I told him all of what you said to me.
Since Thirteenth Prince doesn't like me,
it's pretty meaningless to marry him too.
My father then said that
having a friend such as you
is truly my good fortune.
From now on, can I address you as my elder sister?
Yes, but only in private.
You mustn't do it in front of others.
What's wrong?
I think, even if I do find the star that belongs to me,
I will never forget Thirteenth Prince's smile and singing.
I want to dance for him,
that way, whenever he sees others dance,
he will recall
that Minmin once danced for him.
All right.
I will definitely do my best to help you
and make it such that Thirteenth Prince
will never forget what he sees,
and will forever remember you.
Fold these cloth.
Jiejie, Jiejie,
look at this dress?
What do you think about the design?
The button is not suitable.
Change to another.
All right.
Jiejie, the muslin's here.
Do you still need more satin?
We still need more.
Miss Ruoxi,
this is the construction plan. Please have a look.
Add another frame here.
I want to make some accessories.
As for the rest, I will tell the craftsmen later.
- Go and do these first. - Yes.
Jiejie,
you have really worked hard this time.
Not at all.
I hope that come then, we'll be able to give everyone a surprise.
Jiejie, Princess,
we're really looking forward to this performance.
That's right. I think this will definitely be a great show.
We really want to watch it.
Actually, I'm really looking forward to it too.
All right then.
Let's all "add oil"* then! <i>(*work hard, in modern terms)</i>
Add oil?
Add oil?
It means to work harder.
Get back to work.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
That's good.
Ruoxi,
you've been bustling about all day,
ordering these craftsmen to build such a big structure.
One day, you need silk, the other, you need satin.
You've set up such a big stage,
when the time comes, if nothing comes of it,
I don't know where you can show your face.
Also, don't implicate me
and make me lose face during the King's farewell banquet.
People will laugh at me.
No, no.
Then, when the time comes,
I'll need Your Majesty to help me then.
As long as Your Majesty gives praise,
who would still dare to laugh at me?
If it's not good, the first person to be punished is you.
If it's not good, the first person to be scolded will definitely be Minmin.
It's all because of her, she keeps fooling around.
Look quickly! Look quickly!
What a big eagle!
Eagle striking the sky!
You should all have such magnificent aspirations,
in the wide domain,
to truly showcase your talent!
- Yes. - Yes. - Yes.
Imperial Father,
this eagle is Crown Prince's new pet.
Crown Prince, you know how to train eagles?
Yes, like Imperial Father,
I admire hunting eagles the most
for their bravery and calmness.
Especially when they are on the hunt,
the speed, accuracy, and fierce alpha aggressive aura they have.
I firmly believe, in this world,
all royals,
with the exception of Imperial Father of course,
I have the ability
to train them.
Good. Well spoken.
Well spoken.
Crown Prince, today I would like to see
how you subdue the king of the sky!
Yes.
Release them.
- Your Imperial Majesty! - Imperial Father!
Imperial Father!
Your Majesty, are you all right?
Imperial Father!
- Are you all right? I'm all right.
Your Majesty, it's Zuoying.
<i>He is Prince Zuoying?</i>
Imperial Father, I gave you a fright.
Please punish me.
You aren't entirely to be blamed for this.
Animals, by nature, are wild and hard to tame.
But you need to remember this lesson well.
- Rise. - Yes.
I will remember.
Your subject, Irgen-Gioro Zuoying
was late in saving Your Majesty and caused you to suffer a fright,
I hope Your Majesty will forgive me.
Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Zuoying, your eagle training skills
are getting better and better.
This time, you've earned merit for saving me.
What reward would you like?
This is just part of what I should do,
I wouldn't dare to ask for a reward.
Besides, there was a big snow storm last winter
that killed many cows and sheep.
This time, I
came as a person awaiting punishment.
That was a natural disaster,
the responsibility shouldn't be borne by you alone.
This year, has anything been done to prevent disaster?
Yes, your Imperial Majesty. I have already gathered food
and found an empty place in advance,
in case of any sudden changes of weather.
Good.
<i>King Suwan-Guwalgiya has really good taste.</i>
<i>When comparing this Prince Zuoying</i>
<i>to Thirteenth and Fourteenth Prince,</i>
<i>he isn't the least inferior.</i>
<i>The only thing </i>
<i>is whether or not he and Minmin are fated to be.</i>
♫<i> Stopping here, afraid to go any further, </i> ♫
♫<i> so sorrow will be unable to make an appearance. </i> ♫
♫ <i> On the next page, the farewell penned by you, </i> ♫
♫ <i> it was not up to me to refuse. </i> ♫
♫ <i> We've walked down this path too hastily. </i> ♫
♫ <i> Embracing desires that weren't realistic. </i> ♫
♫ <i> Not in time, wasn't able to wait long enough to look back and admire. </i> ♫
♫ <i> The fragrance of magnolia is unable to hide wounds. </i> ♫
♫ <i> No longer looking for the sun's rays peeking through the clouds. </i> ♫
♫ <i> No longer looking for the paradise that we promised each other. </i>♫
♫ <i> No longer sighing, you once said that life is unpredictable. </i> ♫
♫ <i> The three inches of sunlight that I was unable to borrow. </i> ♫
♫ <i> No longer looking for the sunlight peeking through the clouds. </i> ♫
♫ <i> No longer looking for the paradise that we promised each other </i> ♫
♫ <i> No longer sighing, you once said that life is unpredictable. </i> ♫
♫ <i> The three inches of sunlight that I was unable to borrow </i> ♫
♫ <i> That paradise is the place where I'd loved you </i> ♫
