[The Unexpected Marriage]

[Episode 4]

Help!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Where did this kid come from?

How dare you disturb my pleasure?

I am the commander of guards in Shangkang City.

You bunch of scoundrels
were assaulting an innocent girl.

Today, I will teach you a lesson.

Go, go, go.

Hurry up and go.

[Zhao Huaibi, General of Fuyu]

Miss, are you okay?

Let me help you up.

You scoundrel.

You look decent, yet you behave like a b*stard.

- Miss...
- Don't try to get close to me.

Explain to the local government.

- Changsheng, this man...
- I know it's him.

Don't worry, he can't run away.

This man saved me.

Sorry, sorry. I'm so ashamed.

Are you okay?

- You just...
- It's okay.

I've practiced martial arts.
He didn't take advantage of me.

- You were really...
- Really brave, right?

Don't worry about it. Just stop
arguing with me in the future.

You just went too far.

It's all your fault. I didn't even ask
the hero's name and where he lives.

How can I thank him?

You are so ungrateful.

Why don't you stay in the palace?

You ran away without a servant around.

Come back home with me first.

I'll ask someone to take you back later.

Today ended dismally.

I don't know what Wulang would think of me.

Your Highness. There is no need to be discouraged.

Didn't you say that one's destined
person is out there in the world?

One's destined person is out there in the world.

Let's go.

Young Master, what information
did you get from Yang Wulang?

- Something went wrong.
- You never make mistakes.

I guess Yang Wulang must have some abilities.

[Kindness Leaves a Good Reputation]

My destined man.

He saw my lantern riddle.

Are you talking about Yang Wulang?

No. It's Sir Envoy.

My riddle is that.

"A veiled dream and a tree in blossom."

"They mostly come and go in the white clouds."

The answer is where to meet the destined person.

No wonder he told me one's
destined person is out there in the world.

Your riddle is so obscure.

But Sir Envoy still figure it out?

He's well-read and scrupulous.

So I have to avoid him even more.

[With Great Virtue One Can Rule the World]

Wulang. I thought that after the Lantern Festival,
[Looking for Heron]

- you won't come to me again.
- Why wouldn't I?

Me and you are good friends who share weal and woe.

Why don't I see Sir Envoy?

He... might be busy.

What happened at the Lantern
Festival was a misunderstanding.

Don't take it to heart.

I certainly won't take it to heart.

I wonder what Sir Envoy is busy with recently.

I wanted to invite him to have tea.

Did you come to have tea with him?

Yes.

Since he is busy, I will take my leave.

I'll come another day.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

Yang Wulang is very attentive.

I guess he's interested in you.

I think you should congratulate the envoy.

Your Highness, Xiao Ke is here.

Why are you here?

Your Highness. Why did you steal my Xiao Ke again?

You're the one who likes to steal things.

Your Highness, how is it going with Yang Wulang?

Why do you sigh?

I saw you were having a joyful conversation.

I don't think his interest lies with me.

You are the object of his interest.

Your Highness, you shouldn't
talk about other's shortcoming.

He and I are just friends.

You worry too much.

Worry too much? I don't think so.

He visited frequently. Seeing you're not here,

he won't stay for even a moment.

I guess Yang Wulang is cautious.

He's worried that if he spends time
with you alone, without my witness,

it'll affect your reputation.

Never mind.

White clouds and flowing water drift leisurely.

Since he has no intention,
my thoughts for him shall cease.

Your Highness, cheers.

If you don't believe me, just look at my leg.

That's her, right.

[Grandson of the Minister of Rites]

Your Highness, only Sir Xiao
is left on Miss Jin’er’s roster.

What should we do?

Is General Zhao Huaibi back?

He's guarding the border.

I'm afraid he won't be back for a while.

Why don't you ask His Highness?

Never mind.

It seems that changing fate by myself

is quite difficult.

I can only let him give up.

Sir Envoy?

Your Highness, you took me to...

To visit the grave. To honor the dead.
[T/N: h*m*]

Who is this deceased person?

- I came in a hurry today, and couldn't bring...
- What nonsense are you talking about?

Let me introduce you.

There buries the people who proposed to me.

Make a fake grave?

Won't it bring bad luck? Your
Highness, please watch your actions!

It's a fake grave. It won't bring any bad luck.

The envoy is always trying to praise me

just to make me agree to the marriage alliance.

I have to come up with a better
plan to totally scare him off.

I should let him know that marrying
me is eight generations worth of bad luck.

Anyone gets close to me will get hurt.

Will he still let me marry into Great Tang?

Where?

During the day, they're resting at home now.

Come tonight and try your luck.

Maybe they can come out
and chat with you while drinking.

Actually, the rumor about me

is not all fake and groundless.

Ever since I was little, all the
men who've been involved with me

would come to a very bad end.

Well said. The words you used are accurate.

Unfortunately, we don't believe it.

When Erlang left, he was only fourteen years old.

I remember we often played
under the Chinese Sumac tree.

- Slow down.
- One day, he proposed to me.

Changsheng. I like you.

Then what happened?

Then he fell asleep.

Forever.

Poor Erlang.

His mother and my mother are close friends.

They arranged our marriage when we were kids.

But he died at such a young age.

What did he do wrong?

Why did God do this to him?

You mean he did nothing wrong,

it's his mother's fault.

Now that you mention it, I suddenly realized

I really never thought about it before.

This may really be about the engagement.

It's been hard for you.

With your sympathy and
understanding, I feel much better.

Maybe this is fate.

I will bring your sympathy and understanding

to keep living alone and courageously.

Prince of Qin doesn't believe this.

It's just a kind warning.

With so many cases, you can't be unrepentant.
[Tomb of beloved son, Yang Mingyu]

Take another look.
[Tomb of beloved son, Lu Jinbao]

Where is it? I remember...

It's here!

This is it.

At first, he coveted my beauty,
and didn't believe the rumor.

Now the grass around his grave has grown so high.

[63 years old]

You surely take what comes.

Even a 63-year-old man.

[Tomb of loving father, Qin Haihui]

It's not that.

He wanted to set me up with his son.

Then he died for his son.

After that, his son immediately
called off the marriage.

Now... Now he is an official in the court.

His career is taking off and
everything became smooth.

Right, right, that's it.

Why are you smiling?

It's like playing the lute to a cow.

Sir Envoy still didn't believe it?

He helped me with my dates.

I thought he was easy to persuade.

Today, I wanted to offer him a way
out and let him cut me some slack,

but he didn't fall for the trick.

It seems this has become difficult.

Now the marriage alliance is imminent.

Sir Envoy refused to give in.

Sir Xiao spread rumors and cut
off your chance of going on dates.

Is our only choice to sit here and wait?

Yeah.

I forgot about that stupid Xiao Zilv.

If he hadn't been interfering, I'd
have been married a long time ago.

It seems that to escape the marriage alliance,

I need to eliminate the internal trouble first.

A few days ago, didn’t a servant report that

a hunter had dug pits without
permission in the Chinese Sumac Forest

to catch wild animals?

Find a safe and deep pit and then lure him over.

I want to teach Xiao Zilv a lesson.

Sir. I just got the news that General
Zhao returned to report on his work.

His Majesty asked him to oversee the
security around the Chinese Sumac Forest.

Does Her Highness know about this?

The decree was issued today.

She probably doesn't know yet.

Young Master. Her Highness just prepared a
carriage to leave the mansion late at night.

I heard that she's going to
the Chinese Sumac Forest.

You guys pretend to be th*gs and put me and Her
Highness in danger to make Zhao Huaibi come to save us.

This opportunity can help me visit him later.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Let's go. Another job to do.

Your Highness, after careful thought,

I still think it’s inappropriate for you to
go to the Chinese Sumac Forest alone.

Please watch your actions!

Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.

- You guys follow the plan.
- But...

By the way, don't let my father know about this.

Understand?

Your Highness. But tomorrow is your birthday.

His Royal Highness has given instructions.

Don't worry. I'll be back in less than two hours.

All right.

Your Highness.

- Sir Envoy.
- We've known each other for a long time.

Why be so distant? Just call me Yi'an.

- All right then.
- It's late at night.

Where are you going?

I can't sleep, so I'm just going out for a walk.

Why don't we take a night stroll together?

I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for an
unmarried man and woman to be alone together.

As long as one acts with propriety, there's
no need to be afraid of what others say.

People's words are not scary, their thoughts are.

I'm afraid it may cause a disturbance in the future.

Even if there is disturbance,
I will face it with you.

Let's go.

Don't be a moth to the flame.

Your Highness is as gentle as water.

I just want to be a youth jumping into the water.

Let's go.

[Xiao Mansion]

Sister Jinyan. Our young master is not here today.

- Not here?
- Today His Majesty summoned him.

Young Master went to the palace two hours ago.

This is bad.

Why haven't they come yet?

You're waiting for someone?

Thank you.

Honestly, today I just wanted to...

Wait for ghosts?

- Wait for ghosts?
- During the day, you showed me the graves.

You are a smart person. I won't hide it from you.

I'm waiting for Xiao Zilv. This
guy keeps going against me.

I'm going to teach him a lesson.

Changsheng.

Don't move!

That's enough, stop acting.

Where did this young lady come from?

So pretty.

Why not go up the mountain with me and be my wife?

You lechers. Don't act presumptuous.

Go get them.

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Her Highness is so awesome!

- Impressive.
- Yes.

Don't be afraid.

Get them.

Check if Young Master is injured.

Hold onto it.

- Is it dangerous?
- Hang in there.

I can't anymore.

Don't get distracted.

- Move up a little.
- Hold on a little longer.

- I can't go up. Hold on a little longer.
- What kind of words are these?

So embarrassing. Let's not look.

What are you doing? You scared me.

Should we go to lure Zhao
Huaibi out? You should inform me.

Let's go quickly.

Let's go, go. Go, go, go.

Hang in there.

Hold on a little longer.

I...

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

It's okay, just a minor injury.

- It's my fault. I've caused you trouble.
- I insisted on going with you.

What's it got to do with you?

This is the safe pit that they found?

There is no one around here.

Right, didn't you practice qinggong? [T/N: martial
art skill for speed and gravity defying heights]

Just like you took me flying
last time at the Lantern Festival.

- It shouldn't be difficult.
- I'm afraid I sprained my ankle.

We're doomed.

I really can't do bad things...

Harming others will eventually harm yourself.

It's so cold now. And your leg is injured.

- You should wear it yourself.
- It's fine.

I'm not cold.

I wonder if they can
successfully lure Zhao Huaibi over.

Young Master. Please remember to bring your flares

in case plans change.

Now Changsheng is...

But if I ask Youmou to save us,

I will lose this opportunity
to get close to Zhao Huaibi.

If this continues, we'll freeze to death.

My birthday will be my death anniversary.

- Today is your birthday?
- It's tomorrow.

Why didn’t I see anyone preparing for it?

Your parents usually love you very much.

They should've prepared it ahead of time.

Father and Mother treat me very well.

It’s just that the year I became
an adult, Father and Imperial Uncle

prepared the grandest fireworks
display in Shangkang for me.

I still remember it.

The fireworks that night
looked like a silver waterfall.

Since you like fireworks so much, you
probably watch it on your birthday every year.

Why was that year the most unforgettable?

Because at the fireworks display that year,

the most serious stampede happened in Shangkang.

From then on, I haven't let
my father set off fireworks.

I must get out.

I can't die.

Don't sleep, Changsheng!

Hang in there a little longer.

It's been a long time.

- Will someone come to save us?
- Don't worry,

someone will come to save us.

I said anyone

who gets close to me will not end well.

You forgot what Sheng Tiangang
said at the Lantern Festival?

- How can I believe his words?
- Do you believe me?

Someone will come to save us.

Yi'an.

I cannot make it.

Sorry for causing you trouble.

Changsheng... Hang in there a little longer.

So many logs. We can't k*ll Zhao Huaibi.

Why don't you wait for him to pass by and then hit him?

We use logs to attract Zhao Huaibi's attention,

and lead him to the Chinese Sumac Forest.

Why should we k*ll him?

He's coming.

After waiting for four hours, he finally came.

I wonder how Young Master's doing.

- Let's push?
- Wait.

Squat down.

Three, two, one, push!

Go, go, go, go.

Go to the mountain and have a look.

Why haven't they come yet?

If we keep waiting here, I'm afraid
that Changsheng won't make it.

I should save Changsheng first.

General, it's a flare.

- Go check it out.
- Yes.

Come back.

The Chinese Sumac Forest is ahead.

It is the lifeline of Fuyu. You have to be very alert.

- Go now!
- Yes, General.

- Everyone, check carefully.
- Yes!

General Zhao, there is a collapsed hole here.

Get a rope and let me down.

- Zhao Huaibi arrived first.
- Yes.

Changsheng! Changsheng, wake up!

Someone came to rescue us.

General Zhao, the rope has
been tied. You can go down now.

I'm going down. Changyan. Tighten the rope.

Yes.

Isn't this the person who saved Guangde last time?

- It's her.
- Don't try to get close to me.

Explain to the local government.

This man saved me.

Are you all right?

Send her up first. I can go up by pulling the rope.

Sorry for offending you.

Changyan, pull the rope!

Thank you.

Warm yourself up with some strong liquor.

Were they the ones who set off the flare?

I, Changsheng, thank you for saving our lives.

Changsheng?

You are Princess of Changle, Liu Changsheng?

It's me.

You are...

Your Highness, this is General Zhao, Zhao Huaibi.

General Zhao.

It turns out that he is Zhao Huaibi.

Second. General Zhao's seventh son, Zhao Huaibi.

Although his mother is a concubine, he's gifted,

and possesses both civil and military skills.

He's appreciated by His Majesty.

It seems we really are destined.

I deeply appreciate this big favor.

- But I don't know how to repay your kindness.
- No need.

Just don't use attack me as you did last time.

Last time it was a misunderstanding.

General, where is your residence?

Next time, I will definitely
go to thank you in person.

No need to bother.

By the way, do you need me to send
someone to escort you two back home?

No need to trouble you, General
Zhao. I will send Her Highness back.

Thank you for the rescue. I will
come to thank you in the future.

This Princess Changsheng
behaves inappropriately,

being with a man in the wilderness late at night.

I should stay away from her.

This general saved people in distress many times.

He should be a benevolent gentleman.

He is also very handsome.
Everything about him is the best.

He is really the best choice for marriage.

Your Highness, let's go.

This Chinese Sumac Forest
is so big. I didn't find them.

Where did they go so late at night?

Your Highness, the next time you go
out at midnight, please tell me in advance

so I won’t spoil your pleasure.

What are you talking about?

Your Highness is still as powerful as before.

Even the envoy injured his leg too.

You...

Xiao Zilv. I don't have the
energy to argue with you today.

Sir Envoy. I wonder if Prince of
Qin has had a candidate in mind.

Prince of Qin has always been mysterious.

I truly don't know.

In this case, I will take my leave first.

Your Highness. Your Highness, look!

Such pretty fireworks!

Who's setting off fireworks at this hour?

Since you like fireworks so much, you
probably watch it on your birthday every year.

So beautiful.

Here, Young Master.

Thank you.




"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 ♫
