[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 27]

Let me sleep some more.

- All right, pull it out.
- Good, here.

Why is Older Brother standing upside down on the rock?

Father.

Uncle Cheng, Second Brother needs to ride a horse to go on an expedition.

If the bottom isn't stable, when he fights while riding the horse, he could fall off the horse.

This is the best method to train the lower body in the military.

As I see it, we should add another rock tomorrow. What do you think?

- Add another?
- Don't bend the arm.

Zisheng is right. We must train well.

Yes.

Third Brother, you are used to using the bow. If the hand doesn't have strength, the arrow won't sh**t accurately.

Keep the hand stable, then the arrow will sh**t accurately.

If you want to sh**t accurately every single time,

you need to train harder.

I don't really want to sh**t accurately every single time.

I've looked at the hexagram today, so I knew it was an unlucky day for everything today.

Third Brother, Confucius never talked of strange phenomena, feats of strength, disorder, or spirits.

You ask the deities about everything. It's better to train with me...

No, no. What exactly are you doing?

When the family members are healthy and safe, that's how everything will work out successfully.

Starting today, your family members will train with me.

So weird.

Shaoshang.

I'm a woman, and I don't need to fight in combats. Besides, when do women need to train?

I'm different from those old-fashioned people.

I believe men and women should be treated the same.

Besides, a woman trains in women's ways.

Women have...

Second Brother!

Can you still hold up?

Just like General Cheng, you are a good man from the Cheng family.

Hold it.

Release.

Stab.

Stab.

Again.

Hold. Stab.

Good. Do it again. Release.

- Older Cousin. Lian Fang.
- Niao Niao.

If the clay pot falls down, then train longer by 15 minutes tomorrow.

Do I also need to practice these, too?

I heard that you almost died of illness last year. It's all because you haven't trained enough.

Don't worry. When it comes to you, I'll pay the most attention.

It's not necessary. I'm absolutely not going to practice these.

This is how you pay attention to me?

Yes. However long you train, I'll stay with you the whole time.

No need. Just tell me.

How much longer do I need to train?

About... two hours.

Two hours? That's so easy.

Niao Niao, a strongman in the Cheng family!

Niao Niao, your husband is really too much for me to handle.

He... even shattered my archery target with his arrows.

I used it for 20 years and never shattered it.

Niao Niao,

for the first time in my life, I don't want to be an obedient female anymore.

Older Cousin.

My hands are still shaking even now.

I really don't have a solution.

When others marry, they want the person.

When I marry, they want my life.

No, when you marry, they want our lives.

Why don't you just quickly stab me with a blade?

I can't.

Everyone has worked hard. I've asked Lian Fang to prepare Iced Plum Juice.

It will be here soon. It'll clear the heat and relieve the heatstroke.

It's here. It's here.

Is this what you called Iced Plum Juice?

Didn't I tell you to prepare it with ice? Why is it boiling hot?

I ordered Lian Fang to make it.

Ice harms the body. Right after training,

hot drinks are suitable.

Everyone, let's drink it while it's hot.

I can't survive these days.

Lower your voice. The Black-Armored Guards are outside. Don't you want to live?

We can only blame Niao Niao. Why is she so pretty for no reason,

and attracted Ling Buyi?

Niao Niao, this husband of yours isn't as easy as A'Yao.

Now that the marriage is confirmed,

it's useless to say anything.

I can't withdraw the marriage.

Withdraw what?

Withdraw what? Everyone of you is an idiot.

Such a handsome husband, you can't even hold up a torch to find one like him.

You still want to refuse and push him away?

Mother, lower your voice.

It's full of the Black-Armored Guards outside.

Your bellies got full for a few days,

and you already forget what's fragrant or stinky, what's good or bad? To withdraw from the marriage,

you'll have to step over my dead body.

Not withdrawing, not withdrawing.

The betrothal gifts are already moved into your room. Who can withdraw?

Mother, rest assured.

Madam, you must not say these things.

This marriage was bestowed by His Majesty.

If the two words, "withdraw marriage,"

are spread out of the manor, His Majesty will blame Master.

Not only will there be a ruckus in the Cheng family by then,

our lives will be lost.

To sum it up, I must have Ling Zisheng

as my grandson-in-law. If you want to withdraw,

I will give you hell.

Mother, don't worry. This son-in-law won't run away.

Mother, you should go back to your room to rest.

Let's go rest.

You've worked hard, everyone.

In the future when Ling Buyi comes to our house, you three have to entertain him.

These days I am a little tired as I have too many things to take care of.

I cannot care anymore.

I just can't.

Niao Niao, I've thought it through.

When Ling Buyi comes to our house again, you should entertain him yourself.

When we elders are around,

you two cannot have intimate talks.

Good.

It's decided then. Decided.

- Father is wise!
- Father is wise!

Older Cousin.

You won't leave me by myself, will you?

Niao Niao,

I think you are more suitable for practicing the sword.

I am not very suitable—

Here, drink more.

You usually don't sneak out.

How are you freer when you are about to get married?

Before, my family used to closely watch me study.

Now since Ling Buyi is coming every day, they are all busy hiding from him.

No one cares about me.

I barely managed to sneak out and get a breath of fresh air.

Isn't it great then?

Nobody is caring about you when you are about to get married.

In that case, I also want to get married.

When my mother used to keep an eye on me every day,

I felt so agitated.

But now that she doesn't keep an eye out for me,

I feel so empty inside; so anxious.

You are... just anxious before getting married.

My twelve older sisters were like you before getting married, too.

They were wavering back and forth about gains and losses.

It'll be okay once you get used to it.

Otherwise, will your mother go with you once you are married to the Ling family?

Now my mother doesn't restrict me anymore.

But Ling Buyi wants to restrict me.

In the past, I thought my mother restricted me to the point of being terrified.

But it's not worth mentioning compared to this Ling Buyi.

Why do you always have your teeth clenched when you talk about him?

Physical training, horseback riding, and archery.

It's unthinkable.

He made everyone in my manor learn riding and archery.

You should practice more.

Look at your manner, sickly and weak without strength.

It's because I'm sleep-deprived and in bad health.

I really don't understand.

What's wrong with lying down?

Why do you need to practice riding and archery? Why?

A'Yao would not have restricted me.

He wouldn't make me do things I don't want to do.

He also wouldn't have restricted me from eating and drinking whatever I wanted.

Unlike this Ling Buyi.

No eating past noon.

No eating cold food.

You also can't eat if you've eaten too much.

Why doesn't he just starve me to death?!

Here, drink.

Whoever wants to be controlled can go be controlled.

Either way, I don't want to be controlled.

He also likes telling stories.

To threaten me. And scare me.

He said that if I don't marry him,

he will k*ll my entire family.

He thought I did not understand.

But I understood everything.

Ling Buyi is extremely cruel.

A'Yao is better.

He would drink wine with me.

I can also drink with you.

Here, here! Drink.

Drink!

Why are you staring at me?

I am staring because you are weird.

Say, Ling Buyi did all those things.

You naturally like people that you like.

Those that you don't like, you don't like them no matter what.

Then,

do you like him?

Do I like him?

How does it feel to like someone?

Just close your eyes.

If you see the person you are thinking about,

then you like that person.

Close your eyes.

Do I like him? Not like him?

I like—

Sister Qiqi! I see Ling Buyi.

He seems to be sitting here.

Ling Buyi.

Sister Qiqi, you said if I see Ling Buyi,

that means that I—

Ling Buyi is gone again.

Help!

General Ling, I respect you for being upright.

How could you take advantage of someone?

General Ling, why are you behaving so inappropriately?

All of you take one look and think that he's taking advantage of her.

The one with unrestrained behavior is our Niao Niao.

Look.

I did not only bring back just Shaoshang.

Miss Wan is also in the carriage.

What? Qiqi is also drunk?

The embarrassment comes in pairs.

Why don't we do this? General Ling can hand Niao Niao to me first.

- When she sobers up–
- I'm afraid that won't do.

Even though Shaoshang is engaged to General Ling,

but in the end, you are still not married.

Please let her go and allow her to go back home with her father.

Madam Cheng, it is not me who doesn't want to let go.

Madam Cheng look.

Madam Cheng, I will escort Shaoshang back to her room.

Then, we will have to bother General Ling to bring Niao Niao back to her room.

Lian Fang, go together and help.

Yes.

Thank you, Madam Cheng, for your understanding.

I will take my leave.

Run! Run! Run!

When our own daughter is immature, how can we blame anyone else?

I am tired.

General, don't forget to help Song'er bring Qiqi back to the Wan family.

Why is this stinky rascal still not out of the carriage?

Could he be... also hugged and not let go by someone?

You crazy lady.

If you don't release me, I'll tie you up and give you to Uncle Wan.

Let Old Madam Wan discipline you.

Do you think I'm scared of my father and grandmother?

Who is Thirteenth Miss Wan ever afraid of?

Did they start fighting?

- Wan Qiqi, I won't have any descendants. You have to compensate me!
- Let go of me!

You aren't allowed to make more trouble. Just watch how I'll deal with you.

You'll deal with me?

I, Thirteenth Miss Wan, didn't live or eat for free in military camp.

Someone!

Don't shout.

Nowadays, these young women are all ferocious.

It's still my wife that is gentle, kind, and virtuous.

- It's hard to find in this world.
- Someone!

You two, go prepare some medicine for wounds.

- Yes.
- Ling Buyi!

Also, go prepare some sobering soup.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Someone!

Don't make trouble. I'll help you get off the carriage.

Drink the sobering soup, and I'll escort you back to your manor.

- I want to drink more.
- You've drunk enough.

Thirteenth Miss Wan can handle 1,000 cups of wine.

- Why are you kicking me?
- Don't stop me!

Do you still want a good reputation? If you keep shouting...

- Someone!
- I will, I will...

You will-You will what?

Someone come! Someone come!

You're saying, Ling Buyi carried me back?

Young Miss, you better not drink anymore.

General Ling coaxed you last night for the whole night.

- Let's leave quickly.
- Slow down.

Go, go, quickly. Hurry up.

Sobering Soup. Drink it first.

Do you blame me for always stopping you from drinking,

so you drank it all at once to feel good?

This is Peach Blossom Wine that I asked the Imperial Physician to brew with precious medicinal herbs.

It tastes delicious, and you won't get drunk easily.

If you feel like drinking in the future, just drink this.

I'm not stopping you from doing what you like.

I just don't want you to harm your own body.

This wine isn't good.

Compared to the Peace Blossom Wine, I like Thousand Miles Drunk more.

If you don't like its flavor,

I can order Imperial Physician Sun to modify it.

Or do you think it's not the wine that's unsuitable,

but me?

In your heart, you resist marrying me. So you resent anything that's connected with me.

Even if you like it, you still force yourself to refuse. Isn't that right?

Shaoshang, I've been changing.

Why do you still reject me?

We've never been people in the same camp.

General Ling is powerful, but I have nothing.

It's not true that you have nothing, nor do I have everything.

Shaoshang, you have your father, mother, and brothers.

In this family, everyone treats you with their true heart.

I've never had these.

You and I do not follow the same goals.

So what if I have family members?

This is my family, not your family.

They are my family members, not yours.

That's true.

This family is yours, and the family members are also yours.

I grew up in the army since childhood.

I'm used to stern military commands.

The actions are mostly about issuing orders and carrying them out.

Shaoshang, I don't want to force you or control you.

I'm just not used to discussing everything with someone else yet.

All these years, I've never had a real family.

I don't know how to get along with family members, so I further want to learn how to integrate myself.

You say that I don't understand you, and oppress you with power and influence.

I only want you and your family to know that I'm also an ordinary person.

I, Ling Zisheng, also

want to live a normal life with you.

But you represent only oppression in my life.

I don't need the Peach Blossom Wine.

I also don't need you to take care of me and my family so much.

You say you are just an ordinary person, but you've never been an ordinary person.

Right from the start, we've never been equal.

You pleaded His Majesty to bestow marriage, but you never discussed it first with me.

You never even asked me if I liked you.

You made an arbitrary decision, how is that respectful?

General Ling, I almost can't breathe anymore with such caring from you.

Let me ask you. Do you like me?

- It's has nothing to do with liking or not, it's you can't—
- So you've never liked me?

If what you mean by liking you is to be submissive to you,

controlled by you, interfered with by you, monitored by your people every day,

what I eat, do, and everything else are arranged by you,

dragged by you before sunrise to suffer and the whole family can't stay calm because of you,

then, sorry.

Ling Buyi, I really can't bear such a way of liking me from you.

Further, I will never enjoy this kind of life.

- What kind of life do you like then?
- A life without you...

Is that truly from your heart?

It can't be more true than that.

General Ling, please leave my house.

Leave my life, and leave me.

We say our farewells, and wish each other good luck.

Fine.

I'll leave.

I'll set you free.

Young Miss, you've been sitting all morning.

How about having some breakfast?

I'm not hungry.

How is it possible that you aren't hungry?

You threw up everything that you ate last night.

Your stomach must be empty now.

I threw up yesterday?

Of course. General Ling helped with cleaning up all night.

Young Miss, you didn't know how worried I was last night.

Last night, you cried and laughed,

you hit and kicked, and even bit whoever you caught.

Except for General Ling, probably no one can stand you.

I was even worried that General Ling would get angry and chop you down.

But unexpectedly, he stayed with you all night.

He didn't sleep all night?

How could he sleep with your ruckus?

However, you fell against General Ling

and slept really soundly.

Young Miss, where are you going?

I'm going to Mother.

Whose shoes are these?

General Ling said he was concerned you'd go barefoot to get cool, so he specially hunted a python

to make this pair of snake-skin shoes.

They aren't too hot or too cold, and can be worn in all seasons.

Niao Niao, would you like to hear your father say a few words?

Ling Buyi didn't do wrong in this matter.

I've seen how you two got along before.

The two of you laughed together and spoke jovially.

No one is blind.

Even if it isn't love between a man and woman,

there is at least admiration.

You made him get interested, and he proposed marriage.

I agreed.

The marriage agreement is confirmed, so what did Ling Buyi do wrong?

I didn't say he did wrong.

I just feel that the current life

isn't what I had imagined.

- What I want—
- In this world,

everyone wants to do what they want.

But how many people can really do that?

Not to sound like I'm a know-it-all, but I dare say that even His Majesty who is above everyone else

will also feel helpless at times.

Niao Niao, even if you don't marry Ling Buyi, do you think

you will be able to live the life you want?

I feel that he won't make it difficult for me.

You are so sure that he won't make it difficult for you. What do you base it on?

Isn't it because you know that Ling Buyi likes you?

"Being haughty because of one's master's love and indulgence"
[Idiom]

You've already agreed to this marriage, but now you hesitate.

This is not a righteous way.
[Original phrase: not a gentleman's way]

Niao Niao, your mother and I aren't greedy for fame and fortune.

When the w*r started back then, we originally wanted to protect the peace in our village

and safeguard our own family.

Over 20 years, we fought in bloody battles

and didn't die or lose our family, and even got some recognition.

We are content.

At most, I'll just resign from the official position.

We'll go back to the countryside and become farmers.

Since ancient times, when a woman marries, it's like getting a new life.

One wrong step will lead to a mistake for life.

Compared to your lifetime's happiness, power, and fortune

are nothing.

Niao Niao, if you truly don't want to be with Ling Buyi,

even if your father and I abandon all of our positions and titles,

we'll definitely protect you and reject this marriage.

Right now, tell me from the bottom of your heart.

Do you really not like Ling Buyi? Do you really not want to be with him?

Nobody is perfect in the world.

Even the husband that you love may not fulfill all your wishes.

Even your father and I

became a good couple after a learning curve.

In one's lifetime, it is rare to marry someone you love.

I hope you think about it before making your decision.

We support whatever you decide.

You are so sure that he won't make it difficult for you. What do you base it on?

Isn't it because you know that Ling Buyi likes you? Being haughty because of one's master's love and indulgence.

You've already agreed to this marriage, but now you hesitate.

It's not a righteous way.

General Ling said he was concerned you'd go barefoot to get cool, so he specially hunted a python

to make this pair of snake-skin shoes.

They aren't too hot or too cold, and can be worn in all seasons.

I like being carefree.

But if I marry you,

I'll have to live according to your rules.

At that time, I won't be Cheng Shaoshang anymore.

You say that I don't understand you, and oppress you with power and influence.

I only want you and your family to know that I'm also an ordinary person.

I also want to live an ordinary life with you.

But you represent only oppression in my life.

I almost can't breathe anymore with such caring from you.

I grew up in the military since childhood.

I'm used to stern military commands. The actions are mostly about issuing orders and carrying them out.

Shaoshang, I don't want to force you or control you.

I'm just not used to discussing everything with someone else yet.

I especially dispatched a team of guards

to check the entries and exits daily at the manor to ensure your safety.

Right after training, hot drinks are suitable.

Why don't I tell a funny story to everyone?

All these years, I've never had a real family.

I don't know how to get along with family members, so I further want to learn how to integrate myself.

I've been changing.

Why do you still reject me?

You tell me. Ling Buyi has done so many things.

Those who like him will naturally like him.

Those who don't like him won't like him no matter what.

So you, do you like him or not?

Nobody is perfect in the world.

Even the husband that you love may not fulfill all your wishes.

k*ll!

Even your father and I became a good couple

after a learning curve.

In one's lifetime, it is rare to marry someone you love.

Right now, tell me from the bottom of your heart.

Do you really not like Ling Buyi?

Do you really not want to be with him?

I'm the one who's admired you for a long time

but you've never been interested in the Eleventh Young Master.

It's getting too late.

If you eat too much before sleeping, you'll get indigestion.

Miss Cheng has eavesdropped on military intel.

Even if she enters the Ministry of Justice, she can't become an Inquisition Officer

but only a convicted prisoner.

What eavesdropping on military intel? General Ling, don't say nonsense.

Ling Buyi!

Ling Buyi.

Help!

Regarding my engagement, is there anything else to ask?

Ask all the questions here. Don't make it difficult for my bride anymore.

Don't move. Hold me tight.

Does it hurt?

Does your hand hurt?

That's good then.

- General Ling, I'll do it—
- Just sit.

What General Ling just said make a lot of sense.

If Heaven has morals, no lovers would be separated.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

His Majesty has always said that

I don't live like I'm alive, but more like a wandering ghost.

But when I'm with you,

I'm the most alive.

Shaoshang may not be what everyone considers an obedient and amicable lady.

But in my heart,

in the capital city, in the entire world,

she is the best, the very best, lady.

She is innocent and resolute. She dares to love and hate.

She is the only person under the heavens who can walk alongside me.

In my life,

I shall marry no one else but her.

Father and Mother!

Father and mother, I decided.

I'll marry him.
