(Peace-making Marriage)

♪I keep my thoughts to myself♪

♪Wait for the breeze to light up the stars♪

♪The moonlight is suddenly so beautiful♪

♪I kind of want to kiss you♪

♪Who am I feeling happy for♪

♪Don't hesitate♪

♪Don't hide♪

♪Rain or shine♪

♪I walk towards you♪

(Peace-making Marriage)

How come?

The snow was too slippery.

I wanted to help you,

but...

That represents

peace-making marriage.

It seems that all this is fate.

There seemed to be a strong wind just now.

We can't play pitch-pot on a windy day.

This must be a warning from God.

To let you go for the peace-making marriage.

Didn't you say

people in Great Tang

don't believe this?

You are so repulsive to the marriage?

If I ask you to marry a devil,

will you do it?

And he's also extremely ugly.

Extremely ugly?

Don't hide it from me.

I already knew.

Prince Qin has round eyes and a large forehead,

two protruding ears,

and a mouth full of fangs.

He's just hideous.

He doesn't look so bad.

It's not his appearance that's bad.

It's his character.

He's violent

and likes to eat people.

- Eat people? - Yes.

With skin and bones.

He also drinks blood.

Anyway, I definitely won't marry

this kind of person.

Is Zhao Huaibi the one you really want to marry?

That is...

For sure.

If you're so sure,

you wouldn't hesitate.

I have a way

to let you face your inner self.

Do you want to try it?

Sure.

Close your eyes.

Don't mess around.

You don't dare？

(Virtue and Morality)

What are you doing?

You'll know if you close your eyes.

Fine.

What is love

supposed to be?

Those involved are easy to get confused.

Close your eyes.

Searching around,

who is the one in your heart?

You need to chant a spell?

Focus.

Now,

relax your body.

Take a deep breath.

A very

deep breath.

Imagine the air you breathe in

reaches every corner of your body.

Now

inhale.

Exhale.

Now your body

is in the most relaxing state.

Think carefully

about

the happiest time,

funniest time,

and the most touching moment.

Don't sleep, Changsheng.

Hold on a little longer.

Now,

who's the person

you see?

It's you.

It's me?

Yes.

I open my eyes

and see you.

I'm not blind.

Okay.

You should go to bed now.

No, I'm going to sleep.

You should leave now.

Hurry up.

He is the envoy.

Right.

I'm not going to

marry him.

Liu Changsheng.

Wake up.

Don't mistake illusions for feelings.

Shenxing.

You go back and rest first.

No, I'm not tired.

I will accompany you.

Your Highness.

Why are you so unhappy

after seeing Mr. Envoy?

Your Highness.

How could it be him?

What do you mean?

Who's he?

Why not him?

How could it be him?

Your Highness.

Why I can't understand

what you're saying now?

It's him

or him.

So is it him?

If not him,

who would it be then?

I was born to be burdened by the rumor.

I don't have any luck in love.

It's hard to have a marriage,

but I need to marry far away.

But Prince Qin is notorious.

As a last resort,

I just want to get married quickly.

Shen Bin.

Yang Wulang.

For me,

they're just choices to avoid the marriage.

General Zhao has great ambitions.

For me,

he's just suitable.

However,

he and Guangde are in love.

I am just

a passerby.

Thinking about it,

I almost made a big mistake

out of impatience.

Fortunately, Yi'an gave some good advice.

Then I could see my heart.

Your Highness.

(Virtue and Morality)

Your Highness.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Where are we going today?

We?

Yes.

Are you going to dump me?

Muyan Forest.

You have been there.

Let's go again.

It's very boring there.

And it's dirty and messy.

Let's go.

Although the Muyan tree looks rough,

it's actually very fragile.

We need to gently

sweep off the salt frost using a brush.

Making every move,

we need to feel the breathing of the tree trunks.

It seems

the Muyan tree is no different from you.

It looks strong on the outside,

but in fact, it's delicate and fragile.

Let me feel it too.

I can feel it.

What did you feel?

I feel

her reluctance and unwillingness.

Shenxing.

Pass my order.

This batch of trees

can harvest salt.

Remember to complete it before early March.

Yes.

(Pulping Field)

Your Highness.

Lend a hand.

This is the pulping field.

Just add a little more.

Okay.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, let me do it.

It's okay, go back to your work.

Yes.

This is the pulp used to frame paintings and calligraphy.

The pulp made in Fuyu

can make the mounting parts firmly bonded,

soft and smooth,

and it's also insect- and moisture-proof.

The effect is so magical.

Fuyu's people are not as good as Great Tang's.

Most of them are illiterate.

Even noble women

seldom read.

That is why

our mounting and printing technologies

are relatively lagged behind.

I researched for a long time

to make the pulp.

Paintings framed with it

has a long storage time

and will be handed down.

I believe

in time,

we will make everyone literate,

every home has a collection of books,

great scholars can be found

among court officials and common people.

Your Highness has a grand ambition.

I admire you very much.

To be honest,

the peace-making marriage

aims to unite the two countries and create peace.

This is just one of the purposes.

The second is

His Majesty wants to use this way

to learn about Great Tang's culture

and craftsmanship.

In the mind of Prince Qin,

Fuyu must be remote and backward.

But even so,

Fuyu also wants to make its people rich,

attentive,

and honest.

We want no lawsuits in the country.

This is the powder washing pool.

When washing powder,

both refined and coarse powder

must be filtered through a fine sieve.

Its purpose is to filter out the bran from the powder

to prevent gluten residue and starch water

from mixing together.

After washing,

add pure water

and knead into a dough that is neither too soft nor too hard.

Come on, try it.

Okay.

(High Morals)

Pass the order immediately.

Zhao Huaibi.

Why General Zhao,

who faces death unflinchingly,

is so afraid of me?

Princess.

General Zhao, rest assured.

I didn't come here to pester you.

I just want to know

are you really ready to marry Changsheng?

I...

I have already told His Majesty

I wanted to marry Princess Changsheng.

Then

I wish you and Changsheng

a happy marriage.

Thank you, Princess.

- You... - Princess.

We are not destined to be together in this life.

Just wait until the next life.

Okay.

Then I'll leave first.

- Remember to keep up. - Princess.

Princess.

If something really happens to you,

how can I live alone?

Anyway, I can't live

nor die.

Zhao Huaibi.

You're so cruel

to have forced me into this.

I failed you, Princess.

I'm willing to die to atone for my sin.

Forget it.

I had prepared

many plans before I came

just to make you change your mind.

But at this point,

I finally understood what Changsheng said.

Liking someone

doesn't mean to occupy him

or to destroy him.

I give up.

I just hope you won't let Changsheng down.

Don't make the same mistake again.

Princess.

General Zhao.

Please behave yourself.

Let's go.

Princess.

Princess.

Guangde.

Princess.

Should I ask the musician

to sing you a song?

The new musician

is so good at

singing Peach Blossom Fan.

The song ends and people disperse.

It's just a waste of time.

What a pleasant day and a wonderful night, but with no mood to enjoy.

It just isn't meant to be.

Who will pity me?

Let's not listen to it.

Not this song.

How about

Autumn Wind Tune?

If I knew it would be so heart-wrenching,

I wouldn't have met you.

If I hadn't met Zhao,

why bother missing him now?

Not this song.

Didn't you love listening to the Roadside Mulberry?

Let's listen to the Roadside Mulberry.

Zhao has his own wife,

yet Guangde has no husband.

In the end, it is a story of three people.

But I don't have a name in it.

Princess.

Please stop crying.

What should I do?

With an endless stream of dreamy thoughts,

my sadness is hard to describe.

Living or death breeds

no more gratification or frights.

Princess, you can't do this.

Say it.

Guangde trapped herself in the palace,

not eating or drinking all day.

No matter how I persuade her, it's useless.

Your Majesty and I

watched her grow up.

She has been spoiled since little.

Now

she finally has someone she likes.

But trapped in love,

she's been crying all day.

It really hurts

to see her like this.

Marriages

are arranged by parents.

Your Majesty, why don't you

grant Guangde a marriage?

Isn't that using power to force him?

I think

it also depends on timing.

Now

the eligible candidates

are only Changsheng and Guangde.

I've always

been worrying.

I just can't

stop worrying.

What if Guangde is selected?

It's such a far place.

I will never

stop worrying then.

Okay, okay, don't cry.

Forget it.

Gao An.

Yes.

Get Zhao Huaibi here.

Yes.

(Imperial Study)

Yuzhi.

(Waves by the Sea) I remember

you are twenty-five, right?

- Yes. - Yuzhi.

You are young and promising.

You're my capable assistant

and an incredible general

in Fuyu.

It's just

at this age, there is no one to take care of you.

I'm really worried.

Unify the family first

and then can you pacify the world.

Last time I mentioned

Princess Guangde's marriage to you.

Your Majesty.

I...

I have decided

to marry Princess Changsheng.

This is so sudden.

Yuzhi.

I think you

are still young.

There is no need

to mention marriage

too soon.

Let's give it some time.

Jin.

You came.

What's wrong?

You're not happy about getting married?

Changsheng has been acting a little weird towards me lately.

You had a fight?

No.

Changsheng and I didn't fight.

But that feeling

is worse than we had a fight.

You guys have a close relationship.

And you haven't had any fights, so it should be fine.

Yes.

My brother helped Guangde come up with ideas,

and I tipped them off.

But since I tipped them off,

Changsheng has been even more strange to me.

Doesn't Zilv

like Her Highness?

Why is he helping Princess Guangde?

Because my brother

really likes Changsheng.

But Changsheng doesn't want to marry him.

(Respect and Prudence)

So my brother secretly opposed it

and leaves Changsheng with no choice.

Then she'll marry into our family.

Xiao can't do this.

My brother has broken a leg.

If it's true as the rumor says,

then after marrying Changsheng,

my brother will...

I think now I know the problem

between you two.

What's it?

You

are smart,

but have a fool in your sleeve.

What does it mean?

Let me ask you.

You tipped them off

to help Changsheng

or you're afraid that

Changsheng will marry your brother?

I...

I...

If I really can't get married,

I'll marry your brother.

Anyway, he has already broken a leg.

There shouldn't be any more problems.

You can't marry my brother.

Well,

my brother

is actually an embroidered pillow,

pleasant to the eye but of no use.

Usually, he looks

elegant on the outside,

but he's terrible

behind people's backs.

You don't know, Changsheng.

How could I not know?

Don't worry.

I won't choose

Xiao Zilv to be my husband.

Even if I have to marry into Great Tang,

I won't consider him.

I'm going to apologize to Changsheng.

Young Lady, Princess Changsheng is here.

Changsheng? Let her in.

Yes, Young Lady.

Jin.

Last time you left in a hurry,

and didn't even take the fruit I prepared for you.

Today I feel better,

so I brought it to you.

This fruit

is from another country.

It may not look pretty,

but it tastes very sweet.

You're going to be a bride.

It's a happy event.

Do you know how many people want to get married

but can't get married?

Changsheng.

Sorry.

Between you and me,

this is the last word

I want to hear.

You have always treated me as a close friend.

But I only helped you

because of my own selfish intentions.

I don't deserve it.

What are you talking about?

You helped me.

Isn't it that you just hope

I can marry someone I like?

I'm afraid

you'll marry my brother.

Fool.

I didn't want to marry your brother.

Actually, my brother

really likes you.

He is just too embarrassed to speak up.

He was rejected by you before,

so he thought of ways

to ruin your dates.

Between men and women,

there's not just about love

but also friendship.

He's

just a friend to me.

It's impossible between us.

Fortunately, General Zhao chose you.

He is murderous.

He shouldn't be afraid.

Don't say that.

My bad. My bad.

Your hair is so pretty.

I really want to comb your hair

when you get married.

But I'm unlucky.

Changsheng.

This is the wedding gift I prepared for you.

I wish you and Xie Lin

a happy marriage.

Changsheng.

Thank you.

(Exotic flowers and plants, close moon and distant mountains)

How bold!

Your Highness, please forgive me.

I didn't know you were coming.

The servants

are getting more and more unruly.

Don't blame them.

I didn't allow them to say it.

This charcoal

burns really well.

Sit down.

This security bracelet

was given to you by Guangde.

Yes.

You said you wanted to marry me.

Do you still mean it?

I make a deal,

I keep a deal.

Then are you marrying me

just to honor the promise

or that you really like me?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Your Highness, please forgive me.

Sorry for the offense.

I didn't plan to throw it away.

Since it is a precious thing,

you should treasure it.

Guangde is waiting for you.

Without you,

she will really die.

You fight on the battlefield

just to protect the ones you love.

If Guangde died,

would you really be happy?

Listen to the voice in your heart.

But...

But Your Highness, you...

Mr. Envoy

is discussing the marriage with His Majesty

in the Imperial Study.

Go now.

Thank you, Your Highness.

(It's obviously a story for three people.)

(Guangde,)

(I am the one who should not have a name.)

Mr. Envoy

will be back to Great Tang soon.

Have you decided

on the candidate for marriage?

Among the women of appropriate age

in Shangkang City,

Princess Changsheng and Princess Guangde

are both excellent candidates.

I don't know which

will Your Majesty choose.

I watched

Changsheng grow up.

She's dignified and virtuous,

endowed with civil and martial virtues.

To be honest, I'm really reluctant

to marry her to Great Tang.

Since you're reluctant,

then I choose Princess Guangde

for Prince Qin.

Guangde...

Guangde is naughty by nature.

She isn't a good choice.

I think

Princess Guangde is unrestrained,

innocent and lively.

Besides, I've heard before

she made a bet with Her Highness

that if she failed to choose a husband

before I leave,

she'll willingly go for the peace-making marriage.

Now General Zhao has made a choice.

I am afraid...

Your Majesty.

General Zhao asks to see you.

I won't see him.

Your Majesty, sorry for the rudeness.

I came

to ask you to grant me a marriage.

Take him out.

Your Majesty.

Please

marry Princess Guangde to me.

General Zhao asked for permission

to marry me?

Yes.

How come?

What?

You don't like it?

What happened?

Liu Changsheng, did you...

Yes.

I'm incompetent,

and can't keep General Zhao by my side.

I am defeated.

You are not generous.

Your guest is here.

Aren't you going to give me a cup of tea?

Liu Changsheng.

Do you think I can't afford to lose?

I don't need you to cheat.

Father likes me so much.

He won't want to marry me far away.

You gave Zhao Huaibi to me,

what will you do?

The person General Zhao likes is you.

I just granted his wish.

I...

Don't cry.

I like it when you argue with me.

What did your storybooks say?

Those love stories

are not so amazing

as they look.

It's either

quarrelsome lovers

or childhood sweethearts.

First, the two people were at odds.

Then their fates entangle.

If there's no fate,

we can create opportunities ourselves.

Just pester him.

I'll use these tips

to find my destined man.

Changsheng.

Thank you.

Alright.

I told you it's a convincing defeat.

I didn't cheat.

How could I let you win?

There's still flexibility

on the peace-making marriage.

(Prince Changle's Mansion)

What's with the forced smile?

You became soft-hearted

at the last moment?

There will be someone waiting for me.

The smile is not forced.

Want to know what I told His Majesty?

No.

Your words cannot be taken back.

I have no control over my affairs.

It's useless to talk more.

Up to you.

I heard

Great Tang is particularly rich.

It's located in a remote place,

totally worthless.

People there

are literate

and doors are unbolted at night.

Not at all.

The people there are all unruly

and they lie all the time.

People's hearts are no longer what they were.

Zhaojun held the jade saddle and embarked on the journey.

Tears wetting her cheeks.

Today, she is still a member of the Han Palace.

Tomorrow, she will be the concubine of a barbarian.

Are you reluctant?

I kind of regret it.
