01x20 - Episode 20

[bunniefuu]

Fangfeng Yiying saw the wounds

on your body,

so she disliked you.

Yes.

Those are just some superficial scars.

Just a facade. Did you misunderstand her?

Who can overlook one's appearance?

If I were not Master Qingqiu,

without the wealth of the Tushan family,

without these glamorous clothes,

who would look at me?

Xiaoyao,

not everyone can be like you,

embracing me without disgust

when I was ragged and stinky.

In fact, at the beginning,

I didn't intend to save you.

Besides, when I was down and out,

I wasn't much better than you.

How could I despise you?

Ms. Fangfeng is different from me.

She has been pampered

since she was a child.

She is pretty.

It's normal for her to be picky.

You're the prettiest.

With this look?

Although I know you're lying,

I still love to hear it.

I didn't lie.

Have you heard the discussion

about you in Dahuang?

What did they discuss about me?

They discussed how good you are.

I know I'm not good enough for you.

In this world,

there are many healthy, smart,

and handsome men.

Jing, look up.

Tushan Jing, look at me.

How can you despise yourself

because of Fangfeng Yiying's attitude

toward you?

Even if others judge you

by your appearance

and wealth,

don't you know who you are?

I

Last night,

a man forced me to kiss him.

But now,

I just want to kiss you.

No, Xiaoyao.

Why not kiss my lips?

It's not time yet.

I thought when men are alone with women,

they can't wait to

I'm not like that.

So

When can we do it?

I

I don't know.

Because it's up to you,

not me.

I want to kiss you.

But I also want your love

rather than your pity.

Xiaoyao!

Xiaoyao!

Xiaoyao!

I'm here!

Why are you in such a mess?

Did you see Tushan Jing?

I did.

When did you become so close

that you could be alone

with him all night?

You didn't know it was improper,

but what about Tushan Jing?

Look at me.

Do you think I had a good time all night?

If it weren't for your lovely sister,

I'd have gone back home to sleep.

What has Nian done?

Your lovely sister made me

soak in the sea all night.

Don't keep calling her my lovely sister.

In terms of kinship,

she is your half-sister.

Since she's my sister,

it's reasonable for me

to discipline her, right?

Even so, you should get changed first.

This is the proof. I need this momentum.

How could she not come back last night?

Has she died?

-Princess Jiuyao, you can't go in.

-Princess Jiuyao.

Princess Jiuyao.

Your Highness.

Leave us alone.

I'll see what she's really up to.

Yes.

You made me like this.

Are you happy now?

Sort of.

Bird brain!

I swear I will beat you

to death today!

Did you poison me again?

I just temporarily disabled

your spirit power.

Weren't you going to beat me?

Come on. Do it.

Come on.

Stop right there!

Did you hit me?

Put it down!

How dare you!

Come on!

I'll beat you to death!

I'll beat you to death!

I'll k*ll you.

HANZHANG HALL

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

-Your Highness.

-Your Highness.

Your Highness, are you all right?

-Your Highness.

-Haoling Yi.

Other than using your identity

and spirit power to bully others,

what else can you do?

Do you think you're better than me?

If your mother weren't Princess General,

would Xuan care about you?

Without the Xiyan Kingdom behind you,

do you think so many people

would attend your celebration?

Actually, you're even worse than me.

You are just resenting

your mother's lowly status.

I didn't.

My mother is the best mother in the world.

I won't let you speak ill of her!

You liar.

I know what you just meant.

Can you deny it?

Do you dare to swear

that you've never thought that way?

You envy me for having

the noble Princess General as a mother.

But I wish my mother

would be an ordinary person.

My mother was Princess General,

so she had to go to w*r

for the sake of the country.

She promised me she would come back,

but all I got was news of her death.

I didn't believe she left me

and never came back,

so I waited for her on Mount Jade

for 70 years.

To be honest,

if I could choose a mother,

I'd choose yours.

At least she can

watch her daughter grow up

and love her

instead of letting her

be bullied and displaced.

Hey.

How about exchanging mothers?

No. Absolutely not. My mother is mine!

There are two options for you now.

Option one.

We become enemies.

You keep picking on me,

even teaming up with outsiders

to deal with me.

As a result,

you'll make our father sad

and ultimately lose Cangxuan.

I don't believe it.

In our father's eyes,

he will feel sad

whether you or I are hurt.

In that case,

your mother will feel the same way.

Regarding Cangxuan,

he and I rely on each other.

If you hurt me,

do you think he will forgive you?

Nonsense. I don't believe

Xuan would side with you.

I believe you already know deep down

who's more important in his heart.

Otherwise, why are you jealous of me?

Option two.

We live in peace.

We don't irritate each other.

In this case, our father will be happy.

Cangxuan will protect and love you.

Your mother can continue

to live a peaceful life.

Is there a third option?

Actually, there is.

We get along well.

So you will be loved

by our father, Cangxuan,

and me.

You wish.

I know it's a wish.

So I didn't even mention it.

Do you want to continue fighting?

You just kicked me and punched me.

I just slapped you, so we're even.

From now on, we will live in peace.

All right, we're even.

If Cangxuan finds out about Xiang Liu,

he will never forgive you.

I won't tell him about this.

You should also keep your mouth shut.

HANZHANG HALL

Your Highness.

Once I leave this room,

I have to avoid you on purpose.

And I can't talk to you.

I really don't want to go out.

Didn't you have an appointment

with Xinyue?

We can find a chance

to hang out again.

What is this?

It's just a handkerchief.

It must be prepared by a maid.

A maid gave you a handkerchief for lovers?

Who is it?

Just a maid at home.

It's just an act. Don't take it seriously.

Tushan Hou, how could you do this to me?

It's just an act.

Come on.

Don't touch me.

Miss,

Young Master went out with his friends.

If you like,

I can take a message for you.

I will leave early tomorrow morning.

I don't know when we'll meet again.

No, thank you.

YINGZHOU

Why did you invite him too?

Jing asked me

not to neglect his elder brother.

Jing hasn't given up reconciling

with his brother.

You'll know it.

Miss, take a look.

You can buy anything you like.

How much is this makeup box?

I'll take this makeup box.

I came first.

And I asked for the price first.

Unless I say I don't want it,

it shouldn't be sold to others.

I'll pay twice what she just offered.

Well

This makeup box is good,

but the coral isn't.

If you like this kind of thing,

I will have the craftsmen make a set

for you with the Guixu Coral.

Wrap it up for me.

I'm not one of those women

who have never seen nice things.

I don't care for such trinkets.

I just thought it was novel

and wanted to reward my maids.

If you like it, just take it.

Good.

Xiaoyao?

Xiaoyao.

Why are you shopping?

I was really bored,

so I'm looking around.

I should have invited you to come with us.

You have quite a lot of female friends.

You can bump into one on the street.

You wanted

to meet my sister last night, right?

This is my sister.

I am Chishui Fenglong.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I am Chenrong Xinyue.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I am Fangfeng Yiying.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I am Tushan Hou.

I am Tushan Jing.

All of you are Cangxuan's friends.

There's no need for formalities.

I'm really sorry.

I'm leaving tomorrow,

so I was eager to get a unique gift.

Please forgive me for being rude.

Please accept this makeup box

as a memento of our meeting.

Thank you.

We have planned it with Cangxuan

to go out to see the sea on a ship.

Why don't you join us?

All right.

Your Highness, please sit here.

Your Highness, there are no outsiders.

You may take off your veil.

All of you are Cangxuan's friends.

Please be casual.

Just call me Xiaoyao.

We just met, but we have to part tomorrow.

Let's consider it a farewell party

for everyone.

Your Highness

Xiaoyao.

This liquor is strong.

You should drink fruit wine instead.

It's all right.

I used to drink strong alcohol

and I'm a bit of a drinker.

Don't worry about me.

That's great.

I rarely meet girls

who can drink strong alcohol.

My brother has never been

so considerate to me.

Today, he seems like a different person.

Shut up.

Jing, you're the closest to my brother.

You can be a judge of that.

Have you ever seen him

as thoughtful as he is today?

Never.

Mrs. Tushan.

Help me shut his mouth up.

Don't call me that.

A cup of liquor is not enough.

Jing, please.

Jing, you were not like this before.

Why are you so restrained today?

Jing, if you act like this,

Yiying may feel embarrassed.

This won't do.

Sorry, I'll punish myself

with three cups of liquor.

Good. Let's drink.

Come.

Let's catch fish.

Fenglong.

What happened?

What's wrong?

Fenglong got drunk

and jumped in to catch fish.

I'll join Fenglong.

Hou!

My brother is from the Chishui family.

He grew up in the water.

Hou is also good at swimming.

You don't need to worry.

I also want to jump down.

Do you all want to join?

What's going on today? Is everyone drunk?

It doesn't happen often.

Xinyue, I'll wait for you in the sea.

Jing, do you want to play in the water?

I'll sober myself up.

You guys go have fun.

How about you?

I can't swim.

I know. I can teach you.

Well,

do you dare to entrust your life to me?

I really can't swim.

Even if there's no danger,

I'm afraid I would disturb your fun.

Xinyue dragged Cangxuan into the sea.

You didn't dare to approach me

when everyone was here.

Now you dare to when everyone has left.

You're the princess of Haoling

in front of them.

Now, you're not.

How does it feel to be fed liquor?

I want to try it too.

I didn't drink the liquor she fed me.

Anyway, will you feed me or not?

Yes.

Are you all right?

Perhaps I just drank too quickly.

I'm feeling a bit seasick.

I made this herbal sachet. Try it.

You didn't forget what I taught you.

I will never forget anything

you've taught me.

When we drank in the cabin,

did you feel upset?

Yes.

Seeing Fenglong taking care of you,

I felt very upset.

I felt good to see you like that.

If you feel good to see me upset,

I'll be happy too.

I'm willing to care about you.

But I'm not willing to do it

because of Fangfeng Yiying.

No matter how good something is,

if it's not worth it,

I will give it up.

Yiying.

Yiying.

I was wrong.

Please forgive me.

Yiying, do you remember

the Dragon Boat Festival that year?

We first met

on the water.

How could I forget?

That was my first time in Haoling.

I grew up in the North.

I've never seen so much water before.

I was so excited.

I was so focused on the festivities

that I fell into the river.

At that time,

you didn't know how to swim at all.

When you fell into the water,

you forgot to use

your spirit power in panic.

Then you got more panicked.

You were entangled by a plant

with a little spirit power.

You saved me.

Since then,

you've been the only one I love.

I thought you had forgotten.

The one who gave me the handkerchief

was an informant on Tushan Jing's side.

She's just a tool

for me.

Were you really just using her?

Of course.

After all these years,

don't you know

I only have eyes

for you?

But I hate it when you're close

to other women.

I know.

On the ship,

when I saw you being close and gentle

to Tushan Jing,

I also felt sad.

Who wants to be close to him?

I was just trying to annoy you.

Yiying.

Just endure it for a while longer.

Only then

can we be together forever.

How long do I have to endure?

Soon.

I don't like Fangfeng Yiying.

And she's not into me either.

But just now,

I saw her

She has absolutely no feelings for me.

She did so

because of my identity

and the benefits

of marrying into the Tushan family.

Since she doesn't want you,

you can come back to me as Ye Shiqi.

Did I say something stupid?

You didn't.

I'm very happy to hear that.

But

we're not in Qingshui Town.

And you're no longer Wen Xiaoliu.

Yes.

I am now the princess of Haoling.

I can't decide many things alone.

I want to formally ask your father

to marry you to me.

Xiaoyao.

Give me a little more time

so I can stand before you with dignity.

I also want to introduce you to my father.

Please stay true to me.

I realize you're a cunning man.

You sent me green plum wine.

Isn't it just a way

to remind me of our promise?

I know you.

You said you wouldn't dare

to dream of having me,

while you refuse to let me go.

I'm sorry.

I

I have no choice.

I know you deserve better,

but I can't give up.

I understand.

You don't.

I don't understand,

but I have to say something

to comfort you, right?

Sending you green plum wine

isn't just a selfish motive.

I hope when you receive the wine,

you'll know that I'm missing you.

Xiaoyao.

Are you happy?

Yes, you're a good swimming teacher.

Can you swim now?

I can't.

Do you want me to teach you?

No, thank you.

-Why not?

-Doggy paddle.

Yiying, where have you been?

I went underwater to see the corals.

What about you?

I taught Cangxuan how to swim.

Jing,

what have you been doing?

I

I've been admiring the scenery

on the deck.

The scenery must be quite special.

What is this?

I just k*lled a fish demon underwater.

This is its fish core.

Hou, could you give it to me?

Xinyue, I need this fish core.

I'll get you another one next time.

All right, I have to go.

I'm going to change

and wash up.

Why are you smiling?

What kind of gem is that?

With the head of the Tushan family here,

I dare not discuss gems.

That's a fish core in a fish demon.

It can be used

to make jewelry, accessories,

tools, and as a medicinal ingredient.

High-quality fish cores

can help with breathing.

It can make a person

stay longer underwater.

Based on the different colors,

it can be red,

purple, and yellow.

But most fish cores have mixed colors.

Hou got a fish core

without a hint of impurity.

That's a rare one.

It can be considered the best fish core.

It's hard to get.

If you really want it,

I can ask my grandfather for it.

No, I was just asking out of curiosity.

We are leaving early tomorrow.

I don't know

when we will meet again

after this separation.

Where there's a will,

there's a way.

Yes.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Fenglong and the others

are leaving early tomorrow.

I won't see them off.

Please say goodbye to them for me.

Are you tired?

Did you have fun with Tushan Jing?

I only chatted with him for a while.

Well,

Ms. Chenrong

is quite interested in you.

She seems serious about it.

If I were an ordinary member

of the Dragon Squad,

Chenrong Xinyue

would be playing with me.

She's serious about me

because I am Xiyan Cangxuan.

How do you know she's not sincere to you?

I can tell after experiencing so much.

But I'm not in a position to judge her.

I didn't refuse her

just because

she is Chenrong Xinyue.

Do you feel bad?

If I can't offend enemies

or get close to someone I like,

how will it not be distressing?

But this is the price I need to pay

to return to Mount Xiyan.

It must be a bloody path

returning to Mount Xiyan.

Are you ready?

I must stand on Zhaoyun Peak

on Aunt Heng's death anniversary

next year.

It has been so many years.

I haven't been back

to pay respects to my mother.

I haven't been back

for a long time either.

I don't know what the graves

of my parents, aunt,

grandmother, and uncles

look like now.

Cangxuan.

Let's

go home together.

All right.

Let's go home together.

XIYAN, SHANGYUAN PALACE

"I've been away for a century.

Soon, it is my mother's death anniversary.

The mountains are high

and the wind is fierce,

but people live in peace.

I have been through a hard journey.

I'm willing to cross mountains

to return to Xiyan

to pay homage to my mother

as her daughter.

Your Majesty.

You're getting old.

I should fulfill the filial duty

and take care of you for my mother.

Words can't express how I feel.

I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish.

Haoling Jiuyao."

So

what do you think?

Your Majesty,

Princess Jiuyao of Haoling

is the daughter of the Princess General.

It's reasonable for her

to attend this death anniversary.

Princess General died in battle

for the people of Xiyan.

She is the national heroine.

In my opinion,

we shall treat Princess Jiuyao of Haoling

with national courtesy.

XIYAN YUYANG

Your Majesty,

Princess Jiuyao of Haoling comes

to pay homage to her mother.

It's a family matter.

If we treat her with national courtesy

If so,

how would it be?

XIYAN DEYAN

Father,

Xiling Heng sacrificed herself

for the kingdom.

Princess Jiuyao of Haoling will return

to pay homage to her mother.

It's not inappropriate

to treat her with national courtesy.

In my view,

we should make it as grand as possible

without breaking the rules.

Do it this way.

-Yes.

-Yes.

XIYAN CITY

Princess Jiuyao of Haoling

really made a big fuss.

She made my father and uncle

receive her in person.

For the sake of Grandfather,

we give her this honor.

After Grandfather abdicates,

she cannot come back at will.

Shut up.

How dare you say something like that.

Go down and wait.

Pardon me.

They're getting more reckless.

They need to be disciplined.

They will look at the big picture.

They just made jokes.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

Xiaoyao comes back

to pay homage to her mother.

It's not a big deal.

No need to be too wary.

Xiaoyao can't stir up any troubles,

but Cangxuan also returns with her.

Isn't that better?

Come on.

Let's go down

and welcome Princess Jiuyao of Haoling.

Princess Jiuyao, you must be tired

from your journey.

Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao.

It has been a while.

King Deyan, King Yuyang.

Kid, you're back.

It's a long journey.

Originally, we should have received

the envoys at Shangyuan Palace.

But my father is old

and he has mobility issues.

He's tired of seeing people these years.

So he ordered your seventh uncle

to host a banquet to entertain them.

Father won't see them.

He will only see you at Zhaoyun Hall.

Then I'll trouble King Deyan

to take me to see my grandfather.

Your Highness, please.

Can Cangxuan come with us?

Father didn't summon him.

We have a place for him.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

No worries. We will accompany him.
