[The Unexpected Marriage]
[Episode 11]
The weather is dry,
[Grand Tutor's Mansion]
be careful with open flames.
The weather is dry,
be careful with open flames.
I'm so worried.
The Grand Tutor has not picked a new auspicious day.
We don't know when we can see Her Highness.
What? Do you miss her?
I dare not.
Your Highness, this fool, Youyong misses Jinyan.
Go, go, go. I don't miss her.
Your Highness has been
reading this page for an hour.
Your Highness, why didn't you
go to welcome Her Highness?
Are you stupid?
In what identity did His
Highness go to Fuyu? An envoy.
If Her Highness knew the truth
now, with her temper, she'll...
You are smart.
You are smart.
Youyong, prepare some red bean
cakes. I want the good-looking ones.
- Red bean cakes?
- Yes.
Your Highness, you never eat red bean cakes.
Yes, Your Highness.
- You want cakes?
- What are you thinking about?
Send them to Her Highness.
- Oh, yes.
- Yes.
Red bean cakes.
I also like to eat it.
Red bean cakes.
Xiao Ke, do you miss her?
Your Highness.
Greetings, Princess Consort.
- She hasn't got married yet. You should call her Your Highness.
- It's just a matter of time.
Princess Consort, why do you
come to the kitchen at this late hour?
Well, I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with you.
- Chat with me?
- Come and sit down.
What does Prince of Qin like to do usually?
- Chop...
- Chop people, right?
- Note it down. Bloodthirsty. Cruel.
- No, no, no.
I mean, he usually likes to cook by himself,
so he enjoys chopping wood and boiling water.
But when it comes to cooking, His
Highness's cooking skills are the best.
Okay, okay.
- Well, what strengths does he have?
- There are too many.
His Highness is proficient in everything.
He works so diligently that
he doesn't have time to rest.
He goes to the training ground every day to train
soldiers, and only wants the people to live a better life.
He is indeed aggressive and passionate about w*r.
Princess Consort, His Highness
is truly the best of the best.
Marrying him is really a blessing.
I see.
You must have come to the
kitchen because you're hungry.
- No, I'm not. Don't talk nonsense.
- His Highness has already given instructions.
We, as the servants, need to anticipate
what the master is thinking and do things
they find inconvenient to mention.
Being able to cook for you is my honor.
Then I'll cook you a bowl of noodles.
With braised beef, some green vegetables,
and an egg, okay?
Then I want a soft-boiled
egg. She wants it well-done.
Okay.
Well, I'll ask you one last question.
Even if you ask ten more, that's no problem.
What kind of woman does Prince of Qin like?
I know. Princess Consort, since His Highness
left the palace, he's been living in his mansion.
Before you came, no women had ever
come to the Beautiful Lantern Pavilion.
I can guarantee this.
Even the servants here are all eunuchs.
And they used to work in the palace.
- All these years, there's been no women?
- Please rest assured.
His Highness has kept his nose
clean, and never been close to women.
[Imperial Study]
Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has arrived.
- Your Majesty.
- Grand Tutor.
Princess Changsheng was
delayed during her journey.
Pick another good day for Prince of Qin's wedding.
Your Majesty. I have...
Why are you so haggard?
Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.
I was working all night yesterday.
I've picked a good date.
How come you already picked it?
I just told you to change the date.
You...
You're indeed the Grand Tutor.
You even foretold my thoughts.
At 3:45 a.m. on July 7th.
It's the best day, for Prince
of Qin and Princess Consort
to get married in a century.
Okay. It's a deal then.
The wedding and title bestowment
ceremony will be held on the same day.
- Have the Ministry of Rites make the preparations.
- Yes.
I'll take my leave.
- How is Her Highness these days?
- Everything has been prepared according to your instructions.
The food and fruits are
all Her Highness's favorite.
Since the wedding has been postponed,
can you go visit Her Highness now?
After all, it's much more convenient
than letting us pass the messages.
She still doesn't know my
true identity is Prince of Qin.
If I visit her now, it's hard to explain.
Never mind. I'll go another day.
Not today.
Your Highness, look.
Braised lamb trotters. Your favorite dish.
And also red bean cakes
specially prepared by the kitchen.
Prince of Qin is really good to you.
How does he know I like these?
Red bean represents love sickness.
Could it be that Prince of Qin is
expressing his feelings in this way?
He's never seen me. What kind
of feelings does he have for me?
Well, how come they're like the lamb
trotter made by Spring Gazing Restaurant?
Are you homesick?
This is just ordinary braised lamb trotters.
No, no. You try it.
The chef of Spring Gazing
Restaurant is good at using spices.
Their lamb trotter is fresh and slightly spicy,
not smelly at all.
This really tastes like Spring Gazing Restaurant.
Could it be that Prince of Qin invited
the chef of Spring Gazing Restaurant for you?
Prince of Qin treats you so well.
Unfortunately...
Jinyan, you should watch your words too.
It's fine. Let's eat.
By the way, after dinner, help me with something.
Help me collect information about Prince of Qin.
Your Highness, right now we are in
Great Tang. You can't act as you please.
I want to see what kind of person Prince of Qin is.
Make the preparations.
What kind of man is Prince of Qin?
I must find an opportunity to see him.
Everyone, please pay attention.
Be careful with the roots.
Water them.
- Be sure to give it more water.
- Sir Xiao.
- Is it going well?
- Of course.
I'll finish the task Changsheng
entrusted to me to do well.
Where is Princess Changsheng?
Sir Xiao, it's not convenient for Her
Highness to move around in Great Tang now.
- So she didn't come.
- Have you met Prince of Qin?
How does he treat Changsheng?
Has Changsheng suffered?
Her Highness hasn't seen Prince of Qin.
But he's prepared everything appropriately,
like he knows Her Highness's preferences.
Still not impressive.
Sir Xiao. This is Her Highness's letter.
[Seven, to ensure the growth of the trees,
be sure to prune and watch over them.]
Go back and tell Changsheng
that after the wedding banquet,
I will go to Prince of Qin's Mansion to see her.
Your Highness, this is everything
I recorded about Prince of Qin.
Look, it's so thick.
[Bloodthirsty, brutal, cruel]
His shortcomings are too numerous to record.
This Yi'an. I trusted him so much.
How could he trick me into
marrying someone like this?
Don't let me see him. Otherwise,
see how I deal with him.
Your Highness, Sir Yi'an is here.
I saw him.
Yi'an.
Your Highness, what a coincidence.
- I wouldn't have noticed you if you hadn't called me.
- Yes.
You're favored by Prince of Qin.
Naturally, you don't have to take me seriously.
- Your Highness—
- I'm joking.
How could you take it seriously?
Don't you often joke with me?
Unfortunately, I was so stupid and innocent.
Your Highness, I came today to tell you something.
It's about Prince of Qin, right?
- You know you can't hide it anymore, right?
- You know already?
These are the rumors I found about him these days.
It's nothing like what you described.
The difference is like between the sky and earth.
By the way, a few days ago,
he didn't come to welcome me.
- The Emperor said he was ill.
- Yes.
- It's...
- What's the disease
that he had that made him too sick to welcome me?
He hasn't come to the Beautiful
Lantern Pavilion the past few days either.
Could it be...
- Prince of Qin has already...
- Already?
Is it that...
he's already dead?
But why is the mansion so calm?
That is because...
You got it?
Prince of Qin died of illness, and they don't want
outsiders to know, so they've kept it strictly confidential.
I understand.
[Beautiful Lantern Pavilion]
Who are you?
It's me! It's me!
Your Highness, we are unfamiliar with the place.
What are you doing here?
That's why I need to walk around to understand
the situation before I can take action.
- But...
- But what?
You don't know how dire the situation is.
Prince of Qin is dead. We might be silenced.
Just in case, I want to understand the layout of
Prince of Qin's Mansion, and get ready to run.
Your Highness, will this work?
You don't understand, I'll tell you later.
Keep it confidential.
Hurry up.
Be careful.
Be careful.
I know.
Who's it? An assassin!
Inform Prince of Qin that there is an assassin.
You can't escape! Surrender now!
This is bad. There are so many
people. I should save my life first.
Okay. I surrender.
- Just surrendered like this?
- I surrender.
Please take me to see Prince of Qin. I won't resist.
Little thief, you must have ill intentions.
Could it be that you'd fight to the
death when you meet Prince of Qin?
Makes sense.
You can't meet His Highness as you want.
Put her in the dungeon first and wait for the order.
- Yes.
- Wait, wait.
Gentlemen, you misunderstood.
The situation has reached a point
where I have to reveal my true identity.
Honestly, I am Princess Changsheng from
Fuyu, and your future Princess Consort.
- You are the Princess Consort? Then I'm the Prince Consort.
- Right.
I heard that Fuyu's princess
is beautiful and gentle.
She's a model of a noble lady.
Look at you again. You're out
at night in nocturnal clothing.
You surely can talk big.
I really am Liu Changsheng.
Look at me.
Gentle. Beautiful.
Don't you think so?
- Go get her.
- Wait.
There's a Sir Yi'an in Prince
of Qin's Mansion. He knows me.
- What Yi'an?
- I'm Er'an.
[T/N: Yi means one, Er means two]
Brothers, I think she is just
talking nonsense to delay time.
- Let's get her!
- Don't come over!
It's Prince of Qin.
Back off, back off.
- Yi'an.
- Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Oh no. This situation...
If this gets out, Yi'an will...
I'm really Princess Changsheng.
If you dare to hurt me today,
His Majesty will not forgive you.
I advise you not to act rashly.
I'm domineering.
Are you scared? Leave quickly.
Greetings, Prince of Qin.
Okay, get up.
You...
She's indeed Princess Changsheng
from Fuyu, my future wife.
She's the mistress of my mansion.
Greetings, Princess Consort.
All right. Be careful next time. Don't offend her.
Strengthen the guard to
protect Her Highness's safety.
And don't tell others what happened tonight.
- Yes.
- Yes.
He is actually Prince of Qin.
You...
They just said they don't know someone named Yi'an.
Yi'an is my pet name.
After I became Prince of Qin, no one knows that.
- They call you Prince of Qin.
- Yes.
So Yi'an is Prince of Qin.
- Prince of Qin is...
- The violent and murderous freak
who has quirks and likes to k*ll people.
Now you believe it?
I...
- You believed those people.
- But...
- You don't believe me?
- I don't disbelieve you.
But before this, you were Sir Envoy,
- and now—
- In Great Tang, there are many rumors and slanders.
From now on, don't believe what others say.
Just trust me.
You— What are you going to do?
What do you think?
I haven't k*lled anyone in a long time.
You don't have to do it.
I will end my own life.
Are you that opposed to the marriage alliance?
Prince of Qin has a leopard head, round eyes,
two protruding ears, and a mouth full of fangs.
He's hideous.
It's not his appearance that's
ferocious. It's his character.
Forget that he's violent,
he likes to eat people too.
Anyway, I definitely won't
marry this kind of person.
It's so embarrassing.
[Bright as Jade]
Your Highness. Jinyan and Shenxing...
T-They kicked me out again.
She still won't see me?
This time Princess Changsheng
seems to be really angry.
Your Highness, you are on your own.
According to the report from the
cleaner in Beautiful Lantern Pavilion,
not only has Princess
Changsheng refused to see anyone,
she hasn't stepped out of her room in three days.
Did I push her too hard?
But according to the Little
Fatty in the back kitchen,
Princess Changsheng still has three meals a day.
Last night, she even ordered
a duck for midnight snack.
- Your Highness, where are we going?
- Where else can we go?
She is waiting for me to apologize first.
Your Highness. You haven't forgiven Yi'an...
Prince of Qin?
I just feel a little embarrassed.
I said so many bad words
about Prince of Qin in front of him.
It's better not to see him.
You can't hide from Prince of Qin forever.
He is your husband.
The wedding ceremony has not been
held. I have nothing to do with him now.
Moreover, I'm not hiding from him.
Your Highness. We are all on his territory.
Do you still want to escape marriage?
And Youyong has come 20 or
What if we make Prince of Qin angry and he'll...
What do we do then?
I won't tell you.
Anyway, you must wait for the
most important time to open it.
Do you think this is an important moment?
If it isn't an important
moment, it is a desperate time.
Jinyan, let's go and find the dowry Guangde gave me.
Your Highness. What time is this?
Why are you still thinking about that?
If Prince of Qin is really
unreliable, and we have to escape,
we must keep some valuables with us.
Let's see what Guangde gave me.
Let's go.
I'll clean this up first.
[Orchid Pavilion]
Your Highness.
[Princess Changsheng]
Now that you've opened the box, I
guess you had a fight with your husband.
Don't get angry.
These are all the tips I
wrote for couples to reconcile.
As long as you follow the instructions,
you and your husband will definitely
become inseparable like glue.
Guangde. Who wants to be inseparable with him?
Your Highness, what's wrong?
Forget it, I'll just take a look.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, Sir Xiao sent someone to report
- that the batch of saplings we brought from Fuyu won't survive.
- What?
[Prince of Qin's Mansion]
I'm afraid Chinese Sumac
trees can't adapt to the soil here.
- You guys prepare early.
- Yes.
- Yes.
Changsheng, get on the horse.
I know you're going to the Chinese Sumac Forest.
If you don't want to delay any
further, get on the horse now.
I concealed my identity before
because I had a heavy responsibility.
If my identity was exposed, I might have
been assassinated or attacked on the way.
So I used the name Yi'an.
After that, I didn't find the right time to tell you.
I didn't want to hide it from you.
I promise you that
I won't lie to you again from now on.
Only you know whether you mean it or not.
How can I tell?
Besides, don't follow me later.
Your Highness.
They look fine.
Where is Xiao Zilv?
Your Highness, the Imperial
Academy of Medicine has something.
Sir Xiao was just called away.
I know he's unreliable.
- Didn't I tell you not to follow me?
- I'm just watering it.
No need.
Your Highness, what are you doing?
Okay. Do you want to water it?
Then water all the trees.
Imperial Physician Yuan. The
acupuncture technique you just used...
It treats illnesses according to
human meridians and acupoints.
The most important thing is to
find the accurate acupuncture points.
- This can't be learned...
- Imperial Physician Yuan, please stay.
- Matron Fang.
- I finally caught up with you.
Consort De wants to invite you
to take a look at the prescription.
All right.
Zilv.
Imperial Physician Yuan.
This physician looks unfamiliar.
I forgot the propriety.
Zilv, you go back to the clinic first.
I have a copy of "The Spiritual Pivot" in my cabinet.
- Read it carefully.
- Okay.
I'll be back soon.
- This way, please.
- Matron Fang, please.
It was my fault for hiding my identity before.
But can you please forgive me for
the sake that I helped water the trees?
Or tell me if you have any requests.
I will definitely grant them.
Even though the grass withers, the
fallen flowers will meet again elsewhere.
- After parting ways with old friends...
- Shut up.
Why are you saying this all of a sudden?
Why can't I say it? This is the poem I wrote for you.
You obviously wanted to embarrass me on purpose.
To keep me in the dark and fool me around.
The first two lines of this poem are my identity.
It's my hint to you.
What?
Even though the grass withers,
I only wish for you to know me.
This means Yi'an is Prince of Qin.
[T/N: "Qin" appears in the first line]
Who would have thought of this?
You are not allowed to follow me anymore.
Now everyone knows the
Third Prince is called Lv Jing.
But only those closest to me
know Yi'an is my courtesy name.
And didn't you look for me before?
What?
I wanted to say goodbye to you.
It meant nothing else.
I have witnesses.
Come out, everyone.
What?
- It's you again.
- Greetings, Princess Consort.
I'm not your Princess Consort.
Greetings, future Princess Consort.
Changsheng. They can all testify for me.
It doesn't count. They are all your people.
Of course, they listen to what you say.
Let them disappear.
Did you hear Princess Consort's words?
- Disappear.
- Yes. Disperse.
Isn't this good?
Just treat me as Yi'an.
You don't have to face an unfamiliar husband.
I'll take my leave too.
Why did the wind suddenly
rise? It will get cold soon.
Princess, sit here for a while. I'll be back soon.
My book.
What's going on?
What are you doing?
Don't be impulsive.
"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 ♫
