[The Heart of Jade]

[Episode 16]

Impudent! This is a banquet to welcome the guests from Song.

We can't allow your nonsense and clamor.

Princess, Song wants to maintain friendship with us.

That's why they are marrying you into Great Liao. This is already decided.

Now that you publicly reneg on the marriage accord,

and even say you are in love with a lowly guard.

What kind of situation are you placing our crown prince of Liao in?

Friendship?

If Great Liao truly wanted to be friends with Great Song,

then you wouldn't have humiliated me in so many ways at this banquet.

I can like a guard today.

I can like a martial artist tomorrow, or even a liar.

It's my freedom to like whoever I like.

Too bad that I am a princess,

so I can't control this freedom.

Not only me, even the crown prince of Liao

has to abandon his beloved to marry a woman he doesn't love.

Isn't that so?

Princess, you are joking.

What is this beloved person?

Don't pretend you don't know. That day, we met in Bazhou.

You were dressed in Song clothes and were looking for your beloved person.

You even said that you couldn't help but must marry someone else.

You appeared so distressed and guilty. You showed such affection that day,

but now you won't admit it today.

Princess, you are getting so far-fetched.

I have never left here.

Princess, are you mistaking me for someone else?

Since Your Highness keeps denying, I can't help it.

But I'll still ask one thing.

In front of everyone, do you dare

to say you don't have someone you love?

It's possible to meet someone I love, but not easy to wish for.

I am very envious that you have someone in your heart.

But, by the parents' command and the matchmaker's words,

I can't help but take the beloved from someone else.

Fine.

Your Highness really has many faces.

It would appear that woman is really insignificant,

and one-sided wishful.

What did you say?

Say that again.

His Highness' attitude made me think this way.

If there is such a person, as a woman,

I actually feel anger and sorrow for her.

Brother Zhala,
(T/N: Zhala is Crown Prince Hongji's name in the Khitan tribe)

do you really not have someone you love?

Or do you think that my status is low, one-sided wishful,

and also insignificant?

I'm not the only one who is mired in unhappiness because of the marriage alliance.

Since ancient times, many women have been ill-fated.
("Verses from the Inner Palace" by Tang poet Bai Juyi)

The most heartless is the royal family.

As I see it, we should forget about this marriage alliance.

No need for further talking.

Little Yu'er, I understand everything in the deepest of my heart.

Truly as the saying goes, good things are usually not strong.

Colorful clouds easily scatter, and glaze is brittle.

This hairpin was the hereditary treasure of the Great Song's Empress.

Before Princess gets married, it's meant to be her dowry.

She was going to dress up nicely

to meet her future husband.

Furthermore, Crown Prince Hongji clearly has another woman in his heart

and has neglected our princess.

I ask, which lady awaiting marrying can withstand such aggrievance?

Don't you agree, Crown Prince Hongji?

Princess got jealous because of Your Highness' feelings.

She also feels humiliated.

In a rush, she brought out Lord Zhan

as her shield.

After all, in this foreign land,

only her own people can be relied upon.

Your Highness is right.

I am the princess' guard. How can I have any desires toward the princess?

Besides, I already have someone I love,

and we are engaged.

Good.

That's actually a good story.

Don't worry. Even if Princess has someone in her heart,

I won't mind it.

After all, when it comes to love,

it can be slowly nurtured.

First she got embarrassed because her hairpin was pulled in front of everyone,

and then the dowry gifted by her imperial mother was ruined,

plus seeing Your Highness admiring another woman.

Out of anger, Princess said she would reneg on the marriage alliance.

Otherwise, what else do you want Princess to do?

We came thousands of miles away from Great Song to Liao Nation.

If you don't welcome us, just tell us.

You really don't need to humiliate us in this way,

and humilate this marriage alliance.

As it is,

did we embarrass Great Song?

Or, did you embarrass Liao Nation?

All of you Song people really can talk glibly.

Yes, I was careless in dropping and breaking the princess' hairpin.

But I already apologized.

At the banquet, throwing down the wine vessel in front of everyone,

it shows sthat you Song people aren't much better in etiquette.

Prince Ning, the Liao-Song marriage alliance was originally proposed by the Song Emperor.

If Your Highness has forgotten the reason for the marriage accord,

I will remind you a little here.

The world's land is divided. Our Liao Nation has fierce soldiers and brave generals, with a wealthy country and strong people.

You sent over the princess for a marriage alliance.

Whether it's for gains or for peace,

to say it in plain words, it's because you can't defeat Liao Nation.

Now that I've seen you from Song, it appears to be true.

Princess, don't blame that you can't help yourself.

To blame anything, blame that you weren't born in Great Liao.

What a joke! Why are you so self-confident and arrogant?

Do you know how noble everyone is at the seat?

There is no place for you to bark. How dare you, a lowly servant girl, to be so impudent.

Am I wrong though?

The competition happened because you wanted it.

Since we've already competed on dancing and poetry compsition,

for the third round,

how about we compete on martial arts?

Good idea.

Everyone must be tired from all that argument.

Why not compete on martial arts now?

Take this chance to cheer everyone up.

I wonder who will be assigned by Song Nation to compete?

If I may be presumputous, I would like to compete.

Southern Hero Zhan Zhao?

I am.

Since it's a competiton, there should be a bet.

What do you want?

- The gyrfalcon.
- The gyrfalcon?

That is the god of 10,000 falcons.

There are but a few in the whole world.

I know that. It's because of its rarity that I've admired it for a long time.

Your Highness, how about it? To express our sincerity, if I lose,

we will offer Great Song's 10,000-year Divine Tortoise.

Likewise, there aren't many of them in the whole world.

Whoever owns the divine tortoise can live in longevity.

Good.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Who do you plan to dispatch to compete?

I'll do it.

Deputy Envoy, at the banquet,

why won't you show us your true face?

Replying to Imperial Consort, my face was damaged by a fire.

Ever since then, I've been wearing this mask.

Lord Deputy Envoy, how do you want to compete?

Since you are in Great Liao, you should respect our rules.

Does Lord Zhan dare to compete with me on archery?

No. Archery is your strong suit.

How can you use your strong suit to compete with our weakness? That's not fair.

Now you're scared?

If you admit defeat, we'll let you off this time.

Okay.

I'm not good at archery, but the guest should do as the host seems fit.

Please.

Please.

There are a total of sixteen Kongming lanterns.

Each person has eight arrows. The person who shoots the most wins.

You first, Lord Deputy Envoy.

That won't be necessary.

I won't take advantage of you. You first.

Can Zhan Zhao do this?

To shoot the Kongming lantern is not to break it,

but to shoot the wick to put out the candle

to let the Kongming lantern fall to the ground.

The Kongming lanterns are floating in the sky.

They're far away and the direction they drift is uncertain.

Moreover, the candle is in the lamp casting heavy shadows.

This is going to be difficult for him.

Good arrow technique.

Yelu Pusa Nu, what's going on with you?

You don't live up to the name of the first warrior of Liao Nation.

Alright.

It's been settled, so don't be too hung up on it.

You two are skilled in martial arts.

It's such an eye-opener.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness, although the Thousand-Year turtle is my lucky charm for the martial arts competitions,

the dispute at the banquet just now caused you trouble.

To apologize and show the sincerity of the Great Song in being on friendly terms,

I'll have someone deliver you the Thousand-Year Turtle as a gift after the banquet.

Since it helps prolong one's life,

why not give it to Imperial Concubine Xiao?

You're very righteous, Your Highness.

I'll get the Thousand-Year Turtle to the imperial concubine later on.

Okay.

Since it's to maintain the friendly relations between the two nations,

Great Song is accustomed to receiving gifts in return for courtesy.

I'll gift you my gyrfalcon.

I hope it can represent the relationship between the Liao and Song nations.

The Liao and Song nations will be on friendly terms for generations.

You are wise, Your Highness.

Alright, it's getting late.

The princess of the Great Song must be tired.

Let's go back and have an early rest.

- Xiao Yu'er.
- What's wrong, Princess?

Xiao Yu'er.

Princess.

The princess is fine.

Perhaps it was a combination of the exhaustion from traveling and the wine she had.

She should be fine after a good night's sleep.

That's good.

I'm tired from today, too. I'll go back and rest.

I'll leave her to you.

Rest assured, Your Highness.

Little Seven.

Little Seven, are you still mad at me?

I'm sorry, it's my fault.

You didn't do anything wrong.

We just have different views.

But why did you have to raise your voice at me?

I promise that I'll never raise my voice at you again.

- Do you promise?
- I promise.

Are you hungry? I'll get some food for you.

Okay.

Wait here.

Brother Zhan, why do I feel like the moon here isn't as bright as it is back at home?

Little Seven, are you feeling homesick?

A little bit.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that. I wanted to come myself.

Besides, it's not as bad for me with you here.

By the way,

this food was made by our maids

because they couldn't get used to the food here.

I asked them for two bowls of rice.

I made this tofu myself.

Give it a try.

Take some more.

I don't want it. One bowl is enough for me.

You always eat a lot. Why are you just eating one bowl today?

I won't eat that much anymore in the future.

Why not?

There was a girl in Shuzhong

whose husband couldn't afford to keep her anymore

because she ate too much and so he got rid of her.

I've decided. No matter what, I'm going to eat less than you.

Just be at ease and eat.

When the princess wakes up, you have to take care of her all night.

Replenish your energy.

What do you think?

It's delicious.

Brother Zhan.

Did you purposely lose the last arrow to Yelu Pusa Nu?

No.

The string snapped. My skills are inferior to his.

Why did it seem like you were giving it to him?

Little Seven, why do you think that?

You really did do it on purpose?

Why did you give it to him?

They'll think that we're even more inferior to them.

Even if I didn't do that, I wouldn't necessarily have won.

Yelu Pusa Nu is the famous archer of Liao Nation.

If I beat him, I would embarrass the people of Liao Nation.

Even if it were accidental, it'll be a topic of unnecessary discord.

We need to restrain ourselves

in Liao Nation, otherwise it'll be difficult for us.

But if you just give it to him,

they'll pick on us even more.

It doesn't hurt to suffer a small loss. But we can't let ourselves suffer a great deal.

So from now on, you need to learn your limits.

I think you're very attractive

when you talk about big principles.

Have some more food.

Brother Zhan,

the princess said at the banquet that you are the person she likes.

Don't take the princess' nonsense seriously.

But the princess is so beautiful. Have you never thought about it?

Never.

Not even a bit?

My heart only beats for you.

What about your eyes?

I only have eyes for you, and my heart only beats for you.

That won't do. Let me see.

Come closer.

Lord Zhan.

Princess.

I-I should come back later.

Prin-Princess, it's fine. Speak.

I want you to accompany me to deliver the 10,000-year divine tortoise.

I didn't see anything.

I think Six Jin wanted me to call him in a while.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

Deputy Envoy.

Your Highness.

The banquet has just concluded. Why isn't the Deputy Envoy leaving to take a rest?

Replying to Your Highness, I am responsible for night-time patrol and dare not neglect duty.

I didn't get drunk at the banquet.

Deputy Envoy is really working hard.

I would like Deputy Envoy to explain something for me.

Please speak, Your Highness.

Why did Zhan Zhao from Song deliberately lose the game?

If that's the case, why didn't they

just not compete right from the start?

Replying to Your Highness, if they didn't compete in the banquet,

the the Song people would be embarrassed in shame.

That's right.

It's not good to complete. It's also not good not to compete.

Once they competed, he even had to lose on purpose.

They actually ended up with a tie in the end.

Song people's thoughts

are really complicated.

But there's something else that I still don't understand.

Why did you lose on purpose, Deputy Envoy?

Replying to Your Highness, I am simply deficient in skills.

But, I absolutely did not lose on purpose.

Don't be nervous. I was just randomly asking.

It's getting late, I should go back. By the way,

remember to deliver the gyrfalcon.

Yes.

Do you know what I'm thinking now?

I don't dare to speculate. Please excuse me, Princess.

It's fine. Since childhood, no one cared about what I really think.

Princess, that's not what I meant.

Everyone calls me Princess and hopes that I become a good princess.

I finally thought it through just now. Starting tomorrow,

I will become a good princess.

Princess, allow me.

I should learn to face things on my own.

Even though I'm still panicking about marrying

someone who I don't love and who doesn't love me.

If it were you,

when national affair and your beloved woman are in front of you, how would you choose?

If both can be saved, I'm willing to sacrifice my life.

When I insisted on having you come with me to Liao and enver to go home,

did you ever blame me?

No.

Then, if I tell everyone in public that you are who I love, would you believe it?

No.

Why?

Because I know that you don't really love me.

How do you know that?

If you really loved me, you wouldn't have easily said it.

That's true.

When I was running away, I didn't even think of bringing you along.

I didn't understand it at that time. After coming to Liao, I've thought a lot.

Perhaps I only thought of you as a delicate piece of jewelry.

So I wanted you more when I couldn't have you.

I'm not like that anymore.

In the short time of two days,

I'm already not the same me from the past.

I understand it now. What I can't have probably has never belonged to me.

Such as freedom, and you.

Everyone envies me for being born in the imperial family.

I could have whatever I wanted.

But is that really so?

Forget it. I should just perform well

as a character that everyone envies.

Lord Zhan, you can stop here.

Please rest early, Princess.

Why hasn't the princess returned?

Maybe that divine tortoise is crawling too slowly?

Girl.

That poem that I composed today, what do you think of it?

It's good. The literary style is outstanding.

Because it was written for you.

Thanks.

It's... It's too cold here. I'm going to get warmed up.

Girl, what I said today, don't treat it seriously.

I'm leaving now.

Liao's wine is strong.

When you drink this way, Your Highness, you'll get too drunk.

So what if I'm drunk?

Three thousand annoying matters, wine will get rid of the worries.

Drinking wine to rid worries would make the worries even worse.

You are really annoying.

Oh yes, that warrior that competed with you

has delivered the gyrfalcon just now.

Oh.

You must be feeling proud now.

I definitely don't feel that way. Your Highness tangled with the corrupt officials for the Kaifeng Government Office,

and have been dealing with the overwelming factions in the royal court.

In my heart, I only have admiration for Your Highness.

Why did that naughty girl fall for you then?

How am I not as good as you?

I...

don't live as carefree as Your Highness.

What you mean is, other than that,

a dignified prince cannot match up to you on anything else then?

Actually, a lot of times,

I've felt that Your Highness understands her more.

Why didn't she choose me then?

What that girl said is absolutely right.

You are just a silly blockhead.

Look at how panicky you look.

To be trapped by love makes one a caged bird.

I am not like that.

I've already released the gyrfalcon.

Your Highness, tha gyrfalcon is a gift for Song-Liao's friendship.

If we are truly friends, why do we need a gift only for formality?

What do you think?

If we drink together,

it doesn't count as drinking down the sorrows, is it?

Zhan Zhao, let me tell you this.

I let you have that naughty girl. If you don't treat her well,

I will take her back anytime.

I will never disappoint Little Seven in this life.

Naughty Girl, Little Seven.

LIttle Seven, Naughty Girl.

I still like mine better.

Let me tell you. Don't do all that hugging in front of me from now on.

I feel bad when I see it.

Sure.

What are you doing? How dare you attack our prince?

If the Crown Prince blames you, can you withstand it?

No, no,, is this some misunderstanding?

- Zhan Zhao.
- What's going on?

It was still fine yesterday.

Arrest all of them.

We came to Liao to ally in marriage. Do you actually want to imprison us?

You despicable Song people, how dare you murder Dowager Consort Xiao!

Take them away.

- Go!
- Go!

[Yelu Chongguang]

King Nan Yuan.

Imperial Uncle, why are you here?

Are you feeling better?

I just arrived at the military camp and heard about the trouble.

For matters between the two nations, you must be cautions in decision-making.

Imperial Uncle, rest assured.

I definitely won't handle it hastily.

Alright.

Imperial Uncle, please take the honor seat.

No need. I'll sit here.

Everyone, I am Liao Nation's King Nan Yuan, Yelu Chongguang.

Fine. You guys talk.

Deputy Envoy, is there any finding from searching the camp?

Replying to Crown Prince, Dowager Consort Xiao is injured by the 10,000-year divine tortoise gift from Song,

and died from poisoning.

We should investigate fully before making the conclusion.

There's no need to investigate further, King Nan Yuan.

The facts are clear.

It's this gang of Song people who murdered Dowager Consort Xiao.

Your Highness Prince Xiao, please dont' randomly accuse. We also just heard the news.

It's you

who hypocritically gifted some alleged 10,000-year divine tortoise.

You applied poison on it and murdered Dowager Consort Xia. So despicable!

Don't say nonsense.

Great Song conducts affairs with openess and uprightness.

How can we do such disgusting thing?

Besides,

we came here for the marriag alliance.

Why would we kill Dowager Consort Xiao?

I'm going to dig up your hearts and livers to pay tribute tribute to Dowager Consort Xiao!

Prince Xiao.

What else do you have to say?

Your Highness, we absolutely did not do this.

Please give us some time and we'll definitely find the truth.

I think you're just looking for ways to escape.

Great Song came to ally in marriage with Great Liao.

But something like this occurred during this time.

I do not want to start a conflict between the two nations.

But, about Dowager Consort Xiao's murder,

I demand an explanation.

Imperial Nephew, how about giving him a chance to find the truth?

If they can't find the truth, it proves that they are guilty.

We can punish them according to Great Liao's law.

This way, Great Song won't have anything to complain about.

King Nan Yuan, Dowager Consort Xiao is murdered by poisoning.

You actually speak up for the Song people here.

What are you scheming?

You need to talk with conscience.

I don't want to see discord between everyone.

Do you mean Great Liao is afraid of them?

A marriage alliance between two nations is not kids' play.

We have so many warriors in Great Liao.

They are all born by their parents. They do not fear death.

We should protect their safety even more.

Imperial Uncle really cares about the soldiers and officers.

But Prince Xiao is also right.

If they are deliberately delaying for time,

would I actually have to

wait for their Song emperor to come asking for his people?

With such a huge incident, someone must be planning to ruin the marriage alliance.

This matter involves the relationship between two nations.

We definitely won't procrastinate.

How will you prove it?

- I will be the hostage.
- Princess.
- Little Yu'er.

I will be the hostag to let them investigate the case.

If they can't solve the case, I'm willing to let you punish me.

Sure.

How much time do you want?

One day. We'll definitely find the truth.

No way.

Who would let you wait that long? Two hours at most.

Are you crazy?

Two hours is too harsh.

I'll give you four hours.

If you can't find the killer,

Song Nation will be responsible.

Alright. It's a deal.

If we find the culprint, you won't make it difficutl for us again.

I will guarantee you with my status as the crown princess.

Deputy Envoy, please take the princess to the main camp to take good care of.

Yes.

Let's see how you'll do.

Deputy Envoy, please help us pass the message

to thank King Nan Yuan to give us relief.

There's not much time left. Instead of formalities here,

why not hurry to investigate, or you'll die here.

Why do you sound so mean? So unfriendly.

Why should I be friendly with someone who is about to die?

Thank you, Deputy Envoy, for escorting the princess. We'll go now.

Just like before, I'll tell you everything that I see.

Zichu, watch out for the girl from outside.

Don't let anyone else affect her.

Yes, Your Highness.

We are ordered to investigate the cause of Dowager Consort Xiao's death.

If we violated any etiquette, please forgive us.

The princess wants to sit by herself quietly, please leave.

This is Great Liao's territory. I can go wherever I want to.

You are a servant, if you can't watch your mouth, I'll sew it up for you.

You may leave.

Yes.

What a princess of Great Song! You are near death, but you are still staying calm.

Commendery Princess, please overcome your grief.

Shut up!

Clearly it was done by the Song people. Why are you still pretending?

Commendery, if you are so sure,

then show the proof.

I really can't stand your face that is pretending to be pitiful.

I'll make it bleed right now. Will you still be so calm?
