[The Unexpected Marriage]

[Episode 14]

Youmou, His Highness is too cautious.

Great Yu has been clearly annihilated.

Even if there are some remnants
left, it's nothing to be afraid of.

Why do we need to patrol?

Look at your pouting
mouth. It can even lift a bottle.

Today I have an appointment with Jinyan to
take her to see people making clay figures.

Who made an appointment with you?
Isn't that your own wishful thinking?

- Did she agree?
- She didn't refuse.

Careful!

Who sent you here?

[Prince of Qin's Mansion]

No survivors.

They had hidden poison behind their teeth.

All those who were captured committed suicide.

Judging from the pattern on the cuffs,
they seem to be descendants of Great Yu.

Indeed.

Has there been any movement at the Second
Prince, and the Fifth Prince's mansion?

Second Prince added some guards to
his mansion. There's been no change.

Fifth Prince's mansion has been the same.

But I recently heard that several
martial arts masters sneaked into the city.

Our spy has not yet found out who's behind them.

Could it be that they're targeting Prince of Qin?

His Highness is about to
marry Princess Changsheng.

The Crown Prince still hasn't been decided.

Maybe they want to go all
out. Like a last-ditch attempt.

Who are they?

The Second Prince and the Fifth
Prince want to compete for the throne.

But if they have a private relationship with
Great Yu, that's a capital crime, Your Highness.

Youmou, investigate the
background of these bandits

and the martial artists who
sneaked into the city a few days ago.

If there is any news, report to me immediately.

Yes.

Youyong, increase the number of
guards at the Beautiful Lantern Pavilion.

Tell Changsheng not to leave
the house for the next few days.

Make sure to keep her safe.

There can't be any mistakes.

Yes.

Your Highness.

His Highness has ordered, no one is allowed
to leave the house without a necessary reason.

Everyone including me?

Though you haven't gotten
married yet, it does include you.

Did something happen?

We are only executing the order.

We don't know anything else.

Do you have some exceptions?

That requires His Highness's token.

What if I must leave the house without the token?

We're ordered to guard this place.

- Please don't make things difficult for us.
- Okay, okay.

I'll go back to my room, okay?

- Would you like to eat some fruit?
- I have no appetite.

How about we play the shuttlecock?

My feet are sore.

Then we can practice calligraphy.

I'm sleepy.

Your Highness, don't be so listless.

You can get up and talk to us.

- Your Highness, where are you going?
- I'm going to find Lv Jing.

I want to go out.

Your Highness, Prince of
Qin is your future husband.

Whatever happens, you must control your temper.

Your Highness, please watch your words!

Please watch your actions!

It's been so many days.

Why are you following me so strictly?

They're acting like I'll run
away from the marriage.

I don't believe it.

The more you don't let me leave
here, the more I want to leave here.

Chase her! Your Highness!

[Brush and Ink]

It's so frustrating not being
able to leave the house.

Don't be frustrated, Your Highness.

Come down soon. Don't fall.

I came up with great difficulty.

I won't go down simply because
you ask me to. It's not that easy.

Your Highness. As long as His Highness
wants, even a fly can't fly out of here.

- Exactly.
- You are the fly.

What kind of metaphor is that?

Spring is in full swing. You can't lock me up.

Have you heard the poem? "Spring cannot be contained in
a courtyard," [T/N: poem by Ye Shaoweng, Song Dynasty]

- a red apricot bloom...
- Creeps over the wall.

Do you want to climb over the wall?
[T/N: fig. have an affair]

- You are the one who wants to.
- We were wrong. But please come down now.

- If you get hurt, His Highness will blame us.
- I don't want to.

I want to bask in the sun here.

Careful.

Bask in the sun? Next time you have this plan,

ask me to join you.

Never mind.

It seems that basking in
the sun is pretty dangerous.

I'm going back.

Your Highness, I'm afraid Her Highness

will still think about going out.

Should I send more people to guard her?

For this kind of thing, the
more you don't let her do it,

the more she wants to do it.

- Then...
- It's better to divert the flood

rather than blocking it.

His Highness is knowledgeable.

Youmou... flood?

What does it mean? Where is the flood?

Where is the flood?

I asked you to read more books.
"Strategies to Tame the Flood."

[Beautiful Lantern Pavilion]

Your Highness.

Your Highness, have you got the token?

Why is your face so red?

Is it red?

Maybe it's because I just ran back.

Exercise makes people hot.

Never mind. Never mind. Look what this is.

- His Highness didn't find it out?
- Of course.

- So what if he's an old fox?
- A mouse.

While the devil climbs a
post, the priest climbs ten.

In the end, I still stole the token.

- It didn't take much effort to get it.
- Your Highness, you stole a fake token.

- What fake token?
- This...

[Pure Like Orchids]

Lv Jing...

You old fox!

The oil vat is too slippery. [T/N: refers to
children's song about a mouse stealing oil]

Little mouse, let's wait and see.

But why doesn't he let me leave the house?

Is it possible that there are
some monsters or ghosts outside?

What happened to make him so cautious?

His Highness has always been thoughtful.

He must be doing this for your safety.

If you really want to know, just ask him directly.

Never mind. I have a way without asking him.

Your Highness, go change your clothes.

Go.

Have another drink.

You can't refuse.

Your Highness, during our
shift, we can't drink alcohol.

What are you afraid of?

If His Highness blames you, let him come to me.

His Highness definitely won't blame you.

But he will punish us.

Then, if you can answer my question,

you can avoid drinking this wine.

What do you want to know?

Recently, is there something
big going on out there?

- Drink.
- Drink.

Our mansion is strengthening
guard because of this matter?

Are they targeting me?

Your Highness, you have
to ask His Highness yourself.

We are just following orders to protect you.

His Highness didn't let us reveal anything else.

Not reveal. I want you to explain the details.

If you don't tell me, you need to drink more.

Come on.

Come on.

If you still don't speak,
I'll go tell His Highness that

you drank alcohol while on duty.
You will be punished either way.

Your Highness. You forced us to drink.

- Yes.
- I forced you to drink?

Who saw it?

I didn't.

- Who can prove it?
- No one can prove it.

- You...
- So Youyong and Youmou drank alcohol while on duty.

I caught them. They even falsely accused me.

Shenxing, note it down.

- Let's go find His Highness.
- Okay.

Well...

Don't talk nonsense.

His Highness is afraid
that Her Highness will worry,

so he did not allow us to talk.

I didn't say anything.

Isn't it the assassination incident some days ago?

Assassination?

Your Highness, what about them?

They will sober up.

- What do we do now?
- Take a cold shower to get rid of the smell of alcohol.

We still have to check for the assassin later.

- Let's go.
- Go.

[Emulate Men of Virtue]

In recent days, the secret guards have checked
the situation in various places in the city.

The people involved in the assassination
attempt have also been eliminated.

There is no movement in the city at present.

- What about Her Highness?
- Her Highness has been quiet these days.

After asking us last time, she
doesn't want to leave the house now.

It's late.

- Let's go visit her tomorrow.
- Okay.

Jinyan, I caught two more.

Look.

How long do we have to wait
[Orchid Pavilion]

to catch a hundred of them?

Since Her Highness was imprisoned here,
our days are getting harder and harder.

We caught cicadas the day before
yesterday, counted the stars last night,

and today we're building an ant house.

Her Highness's imagination is getting richer.

I'm already very satisfied
with quietly catching a few ants.

The day is long. We need to
have something to do, right?

Her Highness said we have to stay in the mansion,

and learn to entertain ourselves.

Jinyan. Did you catch the ants?

Here they are.

You guys, be good. I'll also be good.

If I can't help, I won't make more trouble.

Your Highness, why are you talking to the ants?

Have you become confused from the confinement?

She's communicating with the ants.

Everything has a soul. It's
always good to interact with them.

By the way, His Highness got a canary to amuse you.

That canary is so pretty.

Canary?

There is a duck in this mansion and also a canary.

It's almost become a poultry house.

[Orchid Pavilion]

What? You don't like a poultry house?

I didn't let you leave the house before
because there were some bandits outside.

I was worried they'd harm you.

Now the bandits have been
wiped out. It's safe outside.

I'll go out with you.

- Really?
- In recent days, Great Tang is holding the market of the month.

The main street is full of small
vendors shouting and selling things.

If you go, you can eat all the
delicious food in Great Tang.

Do you want to go for a walk?

Since you are sincere, I can't refuse you.

Let's go.

- Look at this.
- Look at that.

And this.

It feels good to be outside.

What did you promise me just now?

First, follow Prince of Qin
closely. I can't act alone.

Second, keep a low profile
and can't reveal my identity.

Third, be careful. I can't
be reckless or impulsive.

Good. What is the most important one?

Follow you closely.

- Jinyan, Shenxing. You should walk around too.
- Yes, Young Lady.

- Let's go.
- Miss, look at the jewelry.

I have the most fashionable jewelry now.

- Miss, you have good taste.
- Stop!

Are you trying to say that this
earring is the treasure of your stall,

made from the highest quality materials,
and the style is the most fashionable?

With my beautiful face and
elegant figure, it'll look stunning?

Could it be that you're a businesswoman?

Can you make it cheaper?

- I'll give you the lowest price.
- I'll take it.

- Does it look good?
- Yes.

- Wrap it up.
- Okay.

- And this one, and this.
- Okay.

Wrap them all up. Someone will come to pick them up.

Okay, sir.

Take care.

Miss. Check out our new fabrics.

All over here.

It feels smooth and the colors are bright.

This green one is so pretty.

- It's all new.
- Ma'am.

Coming.

You two take your time.

Look at this silk. It's much thinner than Fuyu's.

Touch it.

Let me touch it. This one is better.

All right.

I want it.

I'll make you a hat later.
[T/N: green hat symbolize being cheated on]

Miss, you have good taste.

Is it beautiful?

Which one do you like?

- This one.
- Okay.

- Wrap it up for me.
- Okay.

Where's Changsheng?

Young Lady, how can you run so fast?

We almost couldn't catch up with you.

I'm too happy today.

- What do you think?
- Nice.

You're here.

Today we bought jewelry,
fabric, and so many other things.

Isn't this mask cute?

Smile.

Look at your expression.

It's just like this mask.

What did you promise me?

- Didn't we agree to...
- Follow you closely and don't leave you.

You only know how to talk.

I'm overwhelmed by the power of Great Tang.

Look at that silk. It feels thin and soft,

and the texture is thick and shiny.

The embroidery on it is so exquisite.

And the jewelry here. The style is trendy,
and the materials are also different.

This sweetmeat tastes delicious too.

Although Fuyu is also rich in products,

it primarily focuses on the salt business,
which lacks a sense of life sentiment.

If we can teach these handicraft skills to Fuyu,

I think it will be more prosperous.

- What's wrong?
- I'm going to marry into the Great Tang soon.

But I'm also a princess of Fuyu.

I always think about what I can do for our people.

I will try to find a way to establish trade
relations between Fuyu and Great Tang.

You can see these things in Fuyu in the future.

Thank you.

They're selling sugarcoated haws.

- Let's go buy some.
- Okay.

Take your things and wait in the carriage.

- We'll meet up in a bit.
- Yes.

Okay.

Let's go.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Come again.

Sugarcoated haws.

Delicious sugarcoated haws.

Not yet satisfied?

I'm satisfied.

Just feeling a little reluctant.

Wait until life becomes
peaceful, I'll come with you often.

Follow me.

Buy some.

So beautiful.

Previously in Fuyu, we often
heard how prosperous Great Tang is.

After today's visit, it surely lives up to its name.

I'm thinking that for people
to live and work in peace,

the country needs to be stable,
and the world needs to be peaceful.

We were born in the imperial family.

So we should think about what the people think
and worry about what the people worry about.

If the people in Great Tang and Fuyu
can avoid suffering from w*r in the future,

the prosperous times we have now can
be passed down for thousands of years.

Why did you suddenly think of this?

Fuyu's market is also very lively.

Nowadays, on the streets of Great Tang,

watching the busy traffic and
the hustle and bustle of crowds,

I feel

indescribably moved.

Just like people in the world

should live happily and peacefully.

Of course, all this still depends on Great
Tang protecting the people on this land.

Being in the right position, we must
strive to seek happiness for the people.

This has always been my motto.

The people of Great Tang are my responsibility.

Now Fuyu is too.

I will spare no effort to
provide a better life for all.

You did a great job. You can have a bite as a reward.

It's really sweet.

It fell. I'll buy a new one.

- Young Lady, where are you going?
- Wait for me.

I'm accompanying her to buy sugarcoated haws.

Your Highness, do you need me to go with you?

No need.

Get out of the way!

The horse was frightened.

Step aside!

Are you okay?

Careful!

- How can they do this in the street?
- That's right.

- Are you all right?
- Young Lady.
- I'm fine.
- Your Highness.

Are you all right?

- You're bleeding.
- It's fine.

Let's go back home.

[Prince of Qin's Mansion]

Have the assassins from the market been found?

After the carriage was hit, the bodyguards came
over, worried about your and Her Highness's safety.

Then these assassins blended
into the crowd and escaped.

- But...
- But what?

But we examined the body of the dead assassin.

The pattern on his cuffs is the same
as those assassins' from last time.

And on his back, we found a special totem.

It's a scar. This scar was caused by a knife cut.

After careful examination,

we found that the scar is meant to cover up the
sl*ve imprint peculiar to the imperial family.

Like what you guessed before, it must have
been arranged by someone from the palace.

Although the back has been scratched,
we can vaguely recognize this pattern

as the totem of Second Prince.

Lv Hou...

- Keep investigating.
- You mean...

Don't be misled by this obvious evidence.

Don't miss any clues.

Send some more people to
ensure Her Highness's safety.

Yes.

Your Highness, let's apply the medicine.

You guys can leave.

It's a minor injury, not serious.

You took me out of the mansion. I
guess you had confirmed it was safe.

But we encountered an
assassination attempt again.

I'm afraid the last assassination
attempt was to test your strength.

Today is the key. While the streets are crowded,

they disguised themselves as
civilians and tried to assassinate you.

I didn't think about it carefully.

I just came to Great Tang,
and don't know your situation.

I even clamored to go out, caused you trouble,

and ended up getting you hurt.

- I'm sorry.
- Why bother saying this?

Training a suicide soldier
takes three to five years.

These people were well-prepared.

It's only a matter of time before they take action.

You don't have to take it to heart.

But you still got hurt.

Don't worry. I will adapt to the
situation here as soon as possible.

So no matter what happens to you,

you can tell me.

You don't need to be extremely cautious for me.

I don't wish for you to always stand in front of me.

- You are good enough.
- Not enough.

You want me to trust you,
and I hope you can trust me too.

We will be each other's most powerful ally.

Have you heard that Prince of Qin got injured?

What? The invincible Prince
of Qin was injured in Luojing?

That's right. This is a hot
topic among the public recently.

I heard that Prince of Qin was injured
because of the future Princess Consort of Qin.

- They're at odds?
- No.

It is said that the Princess of Fuyu is a witch.

All the men who admire her will have a bad
ending. That's why Prince of Qin was injured.

That's why Prince of Qin was injured.

This matter has long been known to everyone in Fuyu.

- Only Prince of Qin is still kept in the dark.
- This sounds a bit unbelievable.

Right.

Let's continue from last time.

Last time, we said

that the lone star happened to fall

into a family in Fuyu.

This family is not an ordinary family.

It's a prince of Fuyu.

And this child became Fuyu's princess.

Because the lone star resides
within the princess's body,

there has been no peace

in the whole mansion since the birth of this child.

Who are you talking about?

- I'm going to destroy your tavern!
- You...

[Beautiful Lantern Pavilion]

- Your Highness.
- What happened?

Who is so bold as to bully my maids?

Wait and see.

No one bullied us. Someone bullied you.

We didn't fight. We went to smash up the tavern.

So you guys bullied others.

I just knew that my maids wouldn't get bullied.

Your Highness, is this the point?

The point is that someone bullied you.

Tell me. What on earth happened?

They spread rumors that you
are the reincarnation of a lone star.

- You'll affect the fortune of Great Tang.
- The rumor has spread to Great Tang?

It seems someone did it on purpose.

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

The horse went crazy?

Imperial Father. Actually, everyone knows it now.

Although I don't quite believe it,

the recent events are indeed worrying.

Lv Jing's carriage was rolling along the road.

How could the mad horse bump into it?

Fortunately, nothing happened.

But the strangest thing is,

- why did the horse suddenly go crazy?
- Right.

Why did the horse suddenly go crazy?

Yes, Imperial Father.

This is the crux of the matter.

The merchants have said
this horse is usually very docile.

It has never lost its temper.

But how come it suddenly went crazy
after seeing Third Brother's carriage?

This situation only has one explanation.

That is...

What is it?

The rumor is true.

The Princess of Fuyu is really
the reincarnation of the lone star.

Son, you need to be

responsible for what you say.

I said the wrong thing again.

Imperial Father, I spoke without thinking

because I cared too much.

What if it's true Imperial Father?

Great Tang's fortune allows no slip-ups.

Fine.

Someone, summon Princess Changsheng.

His Majesty wants to see me.

Why does he suddenly want to see you?

I'm afraid the recent rumors about me

- were spread by someone on purpose.
- What to do then?

If what you said is true, you can't go to the palace.

If I don't go, it means I have a guilty conscience.

Once you go, you might not come back.

This happened because of me.

His Highness is busy. Don't tell him yet.

Your Highness.

Don't worry. I'll try to solve it.

I heard Fuyu is good at growing flowers and plants.

Your Highness.

Look at how my flowers are growing.

It's not appropriate to plant
lilac and daffodil together.

Why is that?

Different flowers have different habits.

Lilac likes plenty of sunshine,
and has strong shade-resistance.

Daffodil prefers warm and humid climates.

And it needs sufficient rainfall.

Two seemingly unrelated plants will
hurt each other when planted together.

Everything in the world is interdependent.

This is natural law.

If the two plants are grown
separately, I guess it will be better.

Even nature has laws.

What about human beings?

- Your Majesty, I have something to confess.
- Go ahead.

When I was in Fuyu, it was once
rumored that I was a lone star.

Therefore, in Fuyu, no man wanted to marry me.

So you mean the marriage alliance

- is not what you want?
- Quite the contrary.

The marriage was initiated by me.

Although I don't care about the rumors,
since I'm marrying into Great Tang,

I naturally don't want these unfounded
rumors to affect the Third Prince.

Get up.

Today we're appreciating the flowers.

Why did you talk about this?

Your Majesty, the envoy from An
Kingdom presented a letter of credence.

Please read it, Your Majesty.

This... An Kingdom is becoming bolder.

They wrote the letter in their own native language.

Who can understand this letter?

Wan'er, take a look for me.

I can read An Kingdom's language.

It's just this letter...

I heard that An Kingdom recently
made changes to their language.

I can't fully understand this letter.

Then leave it to the Ministry of Rites.

Your Majesty, could I have a look?

You?

Even my aunt can't read it. Can you understand it?

You'd better not make a fool of yourself.

You have to let me read it first to
know whether I'll make a fool of myself.

Please, Your Majesty.

Then take a look.

Your Majesty, in this letter, the
intention is to pay respects to you.

It is mentioned that at the
border between the two countries,

there have occasionally
been bandits causing chaos.

But An Kingdom has sent troops to quell it.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty.

At the end of the letter, they
used very respectful words.

They mentioned Your Majesty is quite busy,

and asked you to take care of your health.

You— as someone from Fuyu,

how can you understand this letter?

Yeah, I'm curious too.

You can even recognize
such complicated honorifics.

Your Majesty, I've always liked to
study the language of different countries.

In An Kingdom, the written and spoken languages
are not the same, so there are frequent changes.

Out of curiosity, I paid special
attention to An Kingdom's language.

I hope I did not embarrass myself in
front of the Princess and Your Majesty.

You're too modest.

Wan'er, in this regard, you've met your match.

You're right, Imperial Brother.

Being proficient in languages,

the Princess of Fuyu does have some skills.

I'm flattered.

It's been a tiring trip.

Especially for Princess Changsheng.

With all the explanations, you must be thirsty.

Hou'er.

Why don't you pour a glass of water for her?

Yes, Imperial Father.

Imperial Father, please.

Thank you.

Your Highness, just now,
you weren't even afraid of me.

Why do you look scared of our Second Prince?

Your Majesty, regarding the reason...

I think I'd be best not to tell you.

Since you said that,

I must know the reason.

I don't mean this.

I'm just afraid that saying this
will drive a wedge between you two.

- Then I'll become a sinner.
- You won't.

I won't punish you.



"Like Snow" by Duan Aojuan

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