[The Unexpected Marriage]

[Episode 16]

Send warmth?

Thank you, I'm not cold.

Since I'm here, let me in to talk for a while.

Please. I want to sleep.

Look.

What are you doing?

It's inflamed! My mouth is swollen

and you still took advantage of me!

Your Highness.

Is your mouth okay? Why is it so red?

- I know.
- What do you know?

Go to the training ground and run thirty laps!

- What's there to be shy about?
- Is Her Highness not satisfied?

Run sixty laps.

What are you grinning about? Let's go.

- I think you're wrong about this. Change it like this.
- Don't change it. [Library]

- You said it before.
- What are you saying?

- He said it has to be changed.
- Your Highness.

- This doesn't need to be changed at all.
- I didn't say that.

- Changsheng.
- Look over here.

- Changsheng?
- There's a problem.

[Library]

Changsheng?

Changsheng.

Your Highness.

Aunt.

How come you had time to come to my Cultivation Hall?

Every year I come here to check the collection of
books and see if there's anything I can help with.

I'll report to His Majesty
on our progress tomorrow.

Prince of Qin doesn't have to
bother to come here specially.

I'm afraid you may have other intentions.

I'm here on official business.

How was the damage to the
books in this year's collection?

This is quite troublesome.

If you want to understand the damage to the books,

we first need to check the lists and inventory.

Second, we need to carefully
look through the bookshelves

and seal the books one by one.

Since you're here on official duties,

could you help me sort these out today?

- We need to finish all this today?
- Of course.

This is the daily work of the Cultivation Hall.

Since you're here to perform
official duties, just get familiar with it.

But I have other official duties.
Today is really inconvenient.

The Cultivation Hall is important to the nation.

Letting you understand it in advance
can help you manage it in the future.

You really don't have time to spare?

Of course I do.

But can I do it another day? Today is...

Why not today?

Never mind. Go ahead.

Your business is in the compiling room in the back.

Aunt, thank you.

Chang...

What is he writing here?

[Clear etiquette, cultural rituals,
unencumbered mind and body]

What did Lv Jing prepare for me?

[Chenopodium album, plant, its leaves are edible]

It's a dictionary that explains rare words.

He still has some conscience.

I don't know if he's left yet.

Now that today's work has finished,
why are you still standing here?

What? Do you like the Cultivation Hall now?

What do you know? I'm absorbing
the natural spiritual energy.

Not like you, slow-witted.

Why have you always looked distracted lately?

Did something happen?

How's that possible? It's so busy
here, what else can I think about?

All right. You don't have to tell me.

I'm in a good mood today. I'll
take you to eat something delicious.

You go ahead. I'm not going.

I'm going to eat delicious roasted pigeon.

You're not coming? I'm leaving then.

Wait.

For the sake of the roasted pigeon, I'll go with you.

- Then I'll go get changed.
- Okay.

[Library]

I'm exhausted every day.

How long do you think it'll take us to compile them?

Tomorrow I'll copy some for you.

But let me be clear. Today
I'll order whatever I want.

- It's on you.
- No problem.

Changsheng.

Changsheng.

What a coincidence. You haven't left yet?

I was just about to go out to dinner with him.

Just to thank him for helping me out a few days ago.

Come here.

- Since you invited me to dinner, why go with him?
- What a coincidence.

Today, I also asked my wife out to
celebrate how well her work is going.

I suddenly feel full.

Maybe we skip this meal. Let's take a rain check.

No.

What to do then?

Since you promised me first,
you can't go back on your word.

Who do you choose between the two of us?

I have the final say on this meal.

Changsheng invited me to dinner
today, and of course, I have the final say.

Or you can change to another table.
[Menu]

I'll take care of Changsheng and pay for your meal.

I've known Changsheng for eighteen years.

Changsheng won't let me leave.

But you deliberately ruined
our dinner. What do you want?

You've known her for eighteen
years, and are still only a friend.

I thank you for not marrying her on behalf of my wife.

You...

Stop talking.

I have the final say on this meal.

Spicy chicken.

Sweet and sour pork.

Everything's here. Please enjoy.

Mr. Xiao, you're Changsheng's friend,

I should toast you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

This is harmonious.

I like it.

Here, try this.

Great Tang's long nose catfish is very tender.

Changsheng doesn't like trouble,
and likes to eat processed seafood.

Long nose catfish is bony.
Changsheng doesn't like it.

The spicy chicken is also good. Try it.

Changsheng runs hot, she can't eat spicy.

It causes too much internal heat.

Here, eat some cucumbers.

Stop it.

Even eating meat can't stop you from talking.

I want some too.

I'm afraid the old injury on my arm has recurred.

It hurts.

- Then I'll feed you.
- Okay.

Xiao Zilv, what are you doing?

I picked this meat first.

My wife got it for me.

So I should be eating it.

It's so noisy.

Eating with you two ruins the food.

- I'll go outside for a while.
- Where are you going?

I'll go with you.

To the bathroom.

That's Princess Changsheng from Fuyu.

Is her name Li Changsheng or Liu Changsheng?

Liu Changsheng.

Oh, right.

It's said that this princess is hard to get married.

Anyone who admires her doesn't end well.

She has a very bad reputation,

a very evil character, a very bad temper,

a very shallow mind, and a very beautiful face.

Princess "Extreme Five."

Princess "Extreme Five"?

- He's quite good at making up stories.
- Is that true?

But Prince of Qin is also a
tough guy. He's not afraid of her.

Prince of Qin has great martial
arts skills, but is simple-minded.

There are so many young and
beautiful women in Great Tang.

All seeking a marriage with Prince of Qin.

But Prince of Qin ignored them all.

He was fascinated by the Princess of Fuyu.

Let me tell you, she looks young,
but she's already in her twenties.

You don't say. This princess of
Fuyu is kind of like our Princess.

Our Princess is also over twenty.

Speaking of which, our
Princess is talented, virtuous,

good-looking, and of high status.

She's just not wise when it comes to her marriage.

She compiles books at the Cultivation
Hall every day, so cold and boring.

- What man would want her?
- Exactly.

She's read too many books and doesn't
know how to serve or care for a husband.

Maybe our Princess still hasn't...

How dare you commoners discuss the Princess?

Judging by the voice, it's Princess Changsheng.

You can’t even compare to
a single hair of the Princess.

You said the Princess is unwise in marriage.

Should she marry you, a bunch of losers
who only talk about others after drinking?

Is that wise? And you.

The Princess concentrates on compiling books
and preserving classics to benefit more people

and ensure that the culture of
Great Tang is passed on to the world.

Unlike you, hanging out in the tavern all day.

How many men can compare to her?

Who are you?

What does it matter to you
who we're commenting on here?

The little girl is so hot-tempered.

I'm afraid that in the future, she won't be
able to find a husband like the Princess.

- Exactly.
- Who will like her?

Who just said that the Princess is cold and boring?

The Princess is outstanding and talented.

As graceful as a mountain pine forest.

Also, she cares for the people.

You bunch of vulgar people don't
have the right to comment on her.

- That's right.
- The Princess will find a good match.

You don't get to judge her.

There really are people who like her.

Have you seen the Princess?

- Have you?
- Of course we have.

Go ask the Assistant Minister of the
Cultivation Hall. Who hasn't seen us?

The Cultivation Hall?

Is that a place you filthy people can go?

Sir, it's Prince of Qin.

Go away, what Pince of Qin?

Today, I'll teach these ignorant people a lesson.

You and you.

P-P-Prince of Qin.

They were so arrogant just now.

Greetings, Prince of Qin.

- Greetings, Prince of Qin.
- Tell me whose side should I take?

Prince of Qin, I mean...

I care about the Princess and Princess Changsheng.

Yes, we're just afraid they're too busy

and don't have time to settle down.

Your Highness, how do you want to deal with them?

Your Highness, spare us!

Spare us!

Forget it.

Let them go.

- Thank Her Highness.
- Thank you, Your Highness.

- Thank you, Prince of Qin.
- Get lost.

Go, go, go.

Prince of Qin is impressive.

Xiao Zilv, what you just
said wasn't serious, was it?

That's for sure. I was just helping you out.

I'm already grateful that you
didn't kick me when I was down.

Why are you so kind to help me out today?

You're not faking it, are you?

- Don't.
- Don't touch him.

He is Xiao Zilv.

We have delayed long enough. Let's head back.

Trying to change the subject.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Mr. Xiao, please stay.

Princess, you were here the whole time?

Princess.

This isn't the imperial palace.
Let's skip these formalities.

Yes.

Aunt, Mr. Xiao has difficulty walking.

If you came by a carriage, please give him a ride.

[Crane Tower]

Princess, we're leaving first.

Goodbye.

Are they trapped? Why aren't they moving?

I'm afraid my aunt has taken a fancy to Xiao Zilv.

How could that be?

How could a gentle woman
like the Princess fall for Xiao Zilv?

He's a talking idiot.

Why do you think she kept Xiao Zilv here?

Because Xiao Zilv overstepped his boundaries,

so she wants to teach him a lesson.

How could my aunt be such a petty person?

What else could it be?

Having feelings for someone,
is like having a cough.

You can't hide it.

You're still too careless.

I appreciate your kindness, Princess.

It's still early. The inn is quite close to here.

I can return on my own.

- Did I say I'd give you a ride?
- I was overthinking it.

Then goodbye.

Princess, is there anything else?

I wanted to ask you... just now, you said

I was as graceful as a mountain pine forest.

- Is that what you really think of me?
- Yes.

The words are well-chosen.

Then you said I care for the people.

That's also what you think of me?

I was describing what I saw and heard
at the Cultivation Hall to clear your name.

You said you'd be willing to marry me.

It just rolled off the tongue.

I meant no offense.

Rolled off the tongue?

I was being reckless.

In a moment of urgency, my
words caused you to misunderstand.

It's my fault.

Misunderstand?

It's fine.

Of course, how could you possibly like me?

What if I do like you?

You must be joking.

So in your heart, I'm just a joke?

The Princess will find a good match.

You don't get to judge her.

In a moment of urgency, my
words caused you to misunderstand.

[Gentleman]

Princess, Xiao Zilv really went too far.
[To Know Sweetness and Bitterness]

I just looked all over and couldn't find him.

A few days ago, he was saying how important
the work in the Cultivation Hall is,

but today he skipped work for no reason.

Should he be severely punished?

If you want to punish him, I'll go to the inn right now

and bring him over here.

Then I'm going.

He does need to be punished.

Going out for private gain
also needs to be punished.

Well, I suddenly feel that Xiao
Zilv isn't that kind of person.

What do you think?

Shouldn't you know him better than I do?

Could he have offended you yesterday?

Or something happened between the
two of you yesterday in the carriage?

I'm the Princess of Great Tang.

He's the envoy of Fuyu.

What do you think could happen between us?

Of course, it's national affairs.

I just knew it. How could she like him?

I confessed my feelings to him.

It's just a confession. It's very...

What? Confessed your feelings?

I like him.

Princess, you are good.

And then? What was Xiao Zilv's reaction?

- He thought I was joking.
- What?

How could you be the kind of person who jokes?

Anyway, he turned me down.

Don't be discouraged just yet.

I think he might have been
frightened, and didn't know how to react.

It doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like you.

Whether he was frightened or amused,

he doesn't like me either way.

Not necessarily.

Think about it.

You two usually argue with
each other and seem incompatible,

but at the critical moment,
he still spoke up for you.

Would you speak up for someone you didn't like?

With his character, not only wouldn't
he, he would also rub it in your face.

So you mean...

So don't be discouraged yet.

Don't worry, I will definitely help you.

I'm sorry.

I overstepped my boundaries.

No.

Then please help...

to set us up.

When love is strong

and two people share sweetness
and become inseparable,

there's no need for further words.

[Rushing Rivers Inn]

Thanks for your kindness.

I, Xiao Zilv...

No, no.

Envoy...

Lord Xiao, someone has come to see you.

- Let him in.
- Yes.

Lord Xiao.

- Who are you?
- I'm the messenger sent by Princess.

I came to inform you that the
Princess invites you to an appointment

and has specially prepared
your favorite roasted pigeon.

She's waiting in the tavern right now.

Lord Xiao?

Go back and report to the Princess
that I'll definitely meet her on time.

Okay. I'll take my leave.

[I was trying to protect the
Princess of Fuyu, I didn't mean...]

What time is it?

Why hasn't Xiao Zilv come yet?

I finally created an opportunity for them.

- It can't waste it.
- Your Highness, you are so anxious.

People might think you're meeting your lover.

Your Highness, you're not just waiting for them,

you're anxious to see the show.

Unfortunately, the audience arrived too early,
and the main characters haven't appeared yet.

Don't point it out.

I'm personally matchmaking them.

If it doesn't work, I'll lose face.

Oh no, why is Lv Jing here?

If he sees Xiao Zilv, the plan I worked
so hard on will definitely be ruined.

No, we can't let them meet.

Xiao Zilv had to come right now too?

Hurry, go hold back Youyong
and Youmou. Leave Lv Jing to me.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Guests, please come in.

Changsheng?

When you see a man in purple, lead him to that room.

I'll pay you.

- Go on.
- Okay.

Let's go.

Sit, sit, sit.

What are you doing here?

That's a strange question.

I came to drink, of course.

- What else can I do here?
- Nothing.

Then you eat here. I'll accompany you.

Are you free today and don't need to compile books?

Who said I'm free?

I'm here on official business.

Official business.

In a tavern?

- Is there anything I can do for you? I'll help you.
- I took care of it already.

Just don't make trouble.

Okay.

Sir, please come in.

Please be careful with the stairs.

- This way.
- Oh, no.

Why is the waiter leading him here?

Oh, no.

Go, go, go, go.

- You're...
- Get in, get in.

Please.

Be careful.

♫ A chance encounter ♫

♫ Clouds moving and changing in the sky ♫

What? You're here to be a matchmaker?

This matchmaker is a bit embarrassed now.

♫ Coming together in the air ♫

♫ The more you resist ♫

When love is strong

and two people share sweetness
and become inseparable,

there's no need for further words.

♫ It's you ♫

♫ Who approached without any warning ♫

♫ Our eyes met ♫

♫ In that moment, forgetting to breath ♫

♫ My heart pounding loudly ♫

Lord Xiao.

The Princess is waiting for you in Room Number 1.

This is Room Number 2.

I got the wrong room.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

- Did I do something wrong?
- Of course!

Could it be that I'm wrong?

How could your arrangement be wrong?

Especially those three steps just now.

But you know Xiao Zilv quite well.

I wonder how you're going to treat me.

I've known him for many years.

Isn't it normal that I understand him a little?

But it's mainly to help the Princess.

I've never treated him like that.

Don't get me wrong.

But what's learned from books is superficial.

Next time you give advice to others,
can you demonstrate it yourself?

You...

Your Highness.

If you're there, then His Highness is also here.

In the cabinet. He's coming out.

Your Highness, you look
quite accomplished right now.

As long as it worked.

- Your Highness, will you come out yourself, or should we help you?
- What are you saying?

How can you let His Highness do it himself?

Your Highness, watch your head.

Princess, I'm late.

No. You came right on time.

They just served the freshly roasted pigeon.

There's no need.

Do you have something to say to me?

I tossed and turned, and
thought about it for a long time.

I think some things need to
be explained to you in person.

Go ahead.

After saying goodbye to you, I
thought about it for a long time.

About what you said that day,

I'm afraid I can't accept it.

Firstly, I'm making this trip as
Princess Changsheng's guard

to ensure the marriage alliance happens smoothly.

At the same time, to learn the medical
skills, and etiquette of Great Tang.

Secondly,

I only have respect for you,

but no love.

If... my words and actions have ever

offended you,

please forgive me.

Anything else? Just tell me.

I...

have never considered staying in Great Tang.

All right.

I understand now.

I respect your choice.

Thank you, Princess.

A woman immersed in
ancient books really is generous.

You're sensible and understanding. I'm sure
you can meet a better man in the future.

But I don't have the luck.

Tomorrow at 9 a.m., a batch of Buddhist scriptures

is to be sent from the Cultivation
Hall to a temple in the outskirts.

I'm afraid we're short of manpower.

- I can help.
- Thank you.

Then I'll take my leave.

The roasted pigeon here really is very good.

Princess.

I just came to tell you my thoughts personally.

I won't bother you anymore.

"Like Snow" by Duan Aojuan

♫ Sitting alone at the western
window, quietly watching the snow ♫

♫ Silently falling and piling up ♫

♫ The red flowers are unable to stand the chill ♫

♫ Once night descends, they wither and fall ♫

♫ Facing the northern wind,
feeling the biting breeze ♫

♫ Wanting to look at you, but unable
to bear to leave and say goodbye ♫

♫ I fear the warmth will fade in an instant ♫

♫ The swirling snow buries the long night ♫

♫ After bidding farewell, meeting
again in this vast world is rare ♫

♫ Unable to tell what fate has in store ♫

♫ Let the longing burn the years away ♫

♫ How can the lone lamp comfort me? ♫

♫ The sky has already darkened,
the autumn moon has waned ♫

♫ Hear my cry ♫

♫ You wear humble blue robes ♫

♫ The spring breeze brushes my face ♫

♫ Another year has passed ♫
