=The Unexpected Marriage=

=Episode 9=

I, Liu Changsheng,

am willing to go to Great Tang.

I'm willing to make the alliance

with Great Tang

and dedicate my whole life

to protect Fuyu.

Good.

You're indeed from the royal family.

Rise.

With courage,

ambitious and aspiration.

I will now draft a decree.

Gao An.

Yes.

Mr. Envoy.

What do you think?

It's my pleasure.

I will not disappoint Her Highness.

Your Majesty.

I have another request.

Say it.

I will definitely grant it.

Please allow me

to ask you a favor.

I hope Your Majesty will give me

thirty Muyan trees

and send them to Great Tang too.

I know

Muyan tree

is the core of Fuyu's salt business.

Since the founding of the country, it's never been given away.

But if we can present thirty Muyan trees as a gift,

it'll certainly express

our determination

to get along amicably with Great Tang.

Plus my negotiation,

preferably we can establish

trade relations with Great Tang.

It must be a good thing for the country and the people.

Granted.

Your Highness is generous.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty.

I will never let Her Highness suffer any injustice.

Your Majesty.

I would like to ask for your permission

for me to go to Great Tang together

as the envoy.

You want to be an envoy?

Yes.

Absolutely not.

I disagree.

Zilv.

Father.

I've decided to go.

You...

There's only one man in every generation of our family.

You are

the only son we have.

Do you know

the trip to Great Tang

will be dangerous,

and you may not

come back alive?

But you...

Father, have some tea.

I don't want to.

Therefore,

I should stay by her side.

You fool!

Did you read the books

in vain?

Have you forgotten about

filial piety?

I'm unfilial.

His Majesty has

granted my wish.

You...

You ungrateful child.

You actually used His Majesty to pressure me.

Father.

Father.

How rebellious!

How rebellious!

How could I have such an unfilial son like you?

Do you know how to write the words "filial piety"?

Write it a thousand times!

(Self-discipline and Social Commitment) Here's the imperial decree.

Liu Changsheng, receive it.

His Majesty said

Your Royal Highnesses don't have to kneel.

Thank you.

I'm here.

Pursuant to Heaven's will,

hereby orders,

Princess Changsheng

is born talented

and intelligent.

Go to Great Tang

in favor of closer relations.

Princess Changsheng, please accept the decree.

This is the gift list drafted by His Majesty.

Reward Princess Changsheng

a pair of jade pots,

- a box of red agate, - What is all this?

So stingy.

the paintings of The Beautiful Lady Yu,

Bamboo Flowers,

Auspicious Crane.

Mr. Gao.

Stop reading them one by one.

Yes.

Anyway, I've finished reading.

(A pair of white jade, A pair of Jade Ruyi)

Oh, and there are thirty Muyan saplings.

We've gotten them prepared.

Please rest assured, Your Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

His Majesty also said

the farewell banquet should be hosted by you.

Don't worry about the rules.

Just organize it as you please.

I lost my daughter for nothing.

He's just so stingy.

You brother is really...

That's how it is.

If you cough, he's still stingy.

I'm sorry, my daughter.

(Gorgeous Vernal Scenery)

Yi'an, why haven't you slept yet?

Your Highness is awake too.

I'm finally getting married.

I'm so happy that I couldn't sleep.

Really?

I've spoken my heart many times,

but you didn't listen,

didn't answer

and didn't allow.

Now you ask me whether it's true.

Whether it's sincere or false,

it's become a fact.

More talk is useless.

Let's just drink tea.

I heard Xiao Zilv

is punished by Mr. Xiao

to write "filial piety" a thousand times

in the courtyard.

It's not cold when it snows,

but it's cold when snow melts.

Hopefully after the snow stops,

his determination to follow me to Great Tang

can also cool down.

♪Sitting alone in the west window, quietly watching the snow♪

♪Silently falling and piling up♪

(Filial Piety)

♪And withered at night♪

(Filial Piety)

♪Facing the freezing north wind♪

♪Looking at you, it's hard to say goodbye♪

♪I fear the heat will fade away in an instant♪

- Zilv. - Mother.

Mother.

If you take one step forward,

I will die in front of you.

Zilv, go!

Meet His Majesty

and marry Changsheng.

How rebellious!

How rebellious!

Do you know how to write the words "filial piety"?

Write it a thousand times!

♪Let the yearning for you♪

♪Run wild♪

♪How can a lonely lamp comfort me♪

(Filial Piety)

(Self-discipline and Social Commitment)

Everyone, enjoy the meal.

Sit down. Sit down.

Sit, sit down.

Come, please.

Congratulations,

Your Royal Highness.

Today is a big day for you.

We'll toast you, Your Royal Highness.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Your Royal Highness.

Princess Changsheng is an excellent woman.

You've taught her well.

Princess Changsheng is carrying

the hope and future of our Fuyu people.

Prince Changle's Mansion

has such an honor.

Right.

Excellent?

Honor?

I've raised my daughter

for over ten years.

I don't want her to be excellent

or bring honor to the family.

I just want her to be happy.

I didn't sleep for three days and nights

to write this play,

"Princess Marrying Far Away".

Although there are many twists and turns,

it's still a happy ending.

Your Highness, today

I meet you

in my true identity.

In the future, you and I

must be together forever.

(Did she see something?)

What do you think?

You lied to me.

It's coming.

The best part is coming.

How could you lie to me?

I'm not afraid

of leaving home

and having a long journey.

I believed in you.

But

how dare you lie to me?

Princess.

Princess!

This play is so...

So unlucky.

Guangde.

I haven't left Fuyu

and you already killed me.

You misunderstood the meaning of this play.

My idea is too nice

and my literary attainments are too high.

But that's okay.

I gave them a happy ending.

Why didn't Xiao Zilv come?

Zilv knelt in the snow for a whole night

and hurt his knees.

He already had an old injury on his leg.

I'm afraid he can't come today.

Father saw Zilv was determined to leave,

after beating,

scolding

and punishing him,

he finally agreed.

Changsheng.

You must take care

in the future.

Zilv.

It's Her Highness's banquet.

As the envoy,

of course I should come.

Mr. Xiao has a serious leg problem.

It's better to go back home and rest.

Otherwise, it'll be hard to follow Her Highness

to Great Tang.

Please rest assured, Mr. Envoy.

For the safety of Changsheng,

I will not delay the trip

and drag her down.

Don't worry, Changsheng.

I'm fine.

That's good.

Don't move.

Let me do it.

I'll do it.

Farewell, Your Royal Highness.

Goodbye.

Farewell.

- Your Royal Highness, I'm leaving now. - Goodbye.

- Take care, Your Royal Highness. - Take care.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Dad.

Changsheng.

- Changsheng. - He's drunk.

Changsheng.

Mom, help Dad go back and have a rest.

Changsheng.

Let's go back.

I can't bear to leave you.

Changsheng.

Changsheng.

Changsheng, we're leaving.

(Self-discipline and Social Commitment)

Xiao Zilv.

I have something to tell you.

If you want me to elope with you now,

is it too late?

I lost my handkerchief.

Guangde, come with me to look for it.

If you lose it, just buy a new one.

Please go with me to look for it.

You can go with me too.

Changsheng.

Tomorrow I will go and ask His Majesty

to let you stay.

Liu Changsheng.

I'm going to Great Tang to study medicine

and open my eyes.

You're marrying Prince Qin.

But don't ruin my future.

Xiao Zilv.

I'm not going to Great Tang for fun.

I'm not playing either.

I'm going to study.

You don't know how happy my father is

hearing that I'm going to Great Tang.

He thinks I'm an honor to the family.

Maybe I can even marry a princess.

Anyway, I don't mind your business,

and you don't mind mine either.

Don't ruin my plan.

Your Highness.

Yi'an.

In my opinion,

being the envoy

is not Mr. Xiao's

only idea.

Whatever you think,

and whatever he's thinking,

I will still go

for the peace-making marriage.

Mr. Envoy.

What else is there to worry about?

I clearly know

my responsibilities.

I'll be devoted to Prince Qin of Great Tang.

As for the others...

Let's toast Changsheng.

There is none left.

Give me.

During the day, when General Zhao was here,

you didn't even touch alcohol.

Why did you become an alcoholic now?

He usually doesn't let me drink.

And you listen to him?

The lawless Liu Guangde

finally met her nemesis.

I'm more impressed

with Zhao Huaibi now.

Well,

time goes by so fast.

I'm getting married.

Xiao Jin is also going to Wu.

You're going to Great Tang.

Later,

I'm afraid we can't

get together

and drink like this.

You won't let me have another drink.

I'll drink more.

I thought

even if I marry into the Xie family,

they're an open-minded family,

and I can still meet you once a year.

Now

you're going to Great Tang.

It's in a far distance.

Maybe

I'll never see you again.

Tell me,

why do women

always have to make sacrifices?

Or what?

Men can do this, too.

I think it makes sense.

Right?

In the future,

I will marry a man from another country.

Forget it.

I'm getting married.

I'm afraid there won't be a chance like this.

Oh,

Changsheng.

Close your eyes first.

I'll give you something.

What is it?

Shhh.

No peeking!

What?

What's this?

This is the dowry I prepared for you.

This thing...

I won't tell you.

Anyway,

you have to wait for the most important time

to open it.

Remember?

(Prince Changle's Mansion)

Be careful.

Dad and Mom are busy.

They can't see us off.

Don't be mad at them.

I've bothered you for days.

Now the mission is complete,

I should go.

I will be staying at posthouse near here.

If you have something,

come find me.

At this point,

what thing will happen?

Just set off with peace of mind.

You two

take this box to the room.

- Yes. - Yes.

Sir.

Sir.

I just caught a big fish in the river.

Should we steam or braise it?

Or we can try sashimi.

Changsheng.

Changsheng is here?

Princess Changsheng is here?

Where?

Ask her to eat with us.

I don't see her.

Princess Changsheng

didn't come.

She never left.

Never left?

She

already lives in Young Master's heart.

This fish is good.

It's my fish.

Sir.

The bodyguard reported

that the top ten shadow warriors will follow you back to Great Tang,

and the rest stay in Fuyu.

Is this arrangement appropriate?

Sir.

After Changsheng

marries into Great Tang

and learns about my identity,

how do you think she'll react?

A girl like Princess Changsheng

who's talented

and has her own ideas

can't accept being deceived by others.

If she finds herself being cheated,

and the one who cheated her

is someone close to her,

I guess she will react intensely.

Maybe

she'll use extreme means

to make her stand.

You lied to me!

But even so,

you don't have to worry.

With the excuse

of Princess Changsheng

turning against Prince Qin,

you can delcare war on Fuyu.

It's righteous and reasonable.

But it's a pity that Princess Changsheng...

Actually,

according to my observation

of Princess Changsheng in recent days,

Her Highness

is not

an unreasonable person.

Even if she knows your identity,

I guess she won't mind.

Do you want to reveal your true identity

to Her Highness?

Bring me a pen and ink.

(Yi'an)

Give this to Changsheng.

Okay.

Let the bodyguard come to see me.

Yes.

Let's go.

(Fengqing Guesthouse)

What?

Does Young Master think I've been lazy recently?

Otherwise, why does he treat me like this?

He just thinks you are stupid.

Why am I stupid?

You've been with him for so long.

You idiot.

You still don't know what he's thinking.

(Fengqing Guesthouse)

Do you know there is a saying called

a hero is hard to resist a beauty?

(Gorgeous Vernal Scenery)

Hibiscus needs to loosen the soil three times a day.

When watering it,

remember to avoid standing water.

Yes.

By the way,

pay special attention on moisture.

- Remember to clean up - Yes.

the water in the basin in time.

OK.

It's almost the season for begonia flowers to bloom.

Mother likes begonia the most.

Remember to take the begonia flowers

outside to bathe in the sun.

The better the sunshine,

the better the flowers bloom.

Yes.

Your Highness.

What's wrong?

Your Highness.

Young Master asked me to give you this.

Even though the grass withers,

the fallen flowers will meet again elsewhere.

(Yi'an) After parting ways with old friends,

I only wish for you to know me.

I'm waiting for you.

Is it that

he can't let go of me

and is reluctant to leave me,

so he doesn't want to go back to Great Tang?

Where is Yi'an now?

Still in the posthouse.

(It's over.)

(My guess was correct.)

(So)

(is he waiting for my reply)

(and will not leave until I come?)

Tell Yi'an for me

that I received the letter.

Let me think about it.

She didn't say anything else?

After Princess Changsheng

received this letter,

I've told you

every expression she made

and every word she said.

Presumably,

she must understand what I mean.

Your Highness.

You keep walking around.

I've started to see double.

I think

you have to calm down.

I shouldn't have said these words.

But for your lifelong happiness,

I must say.

Throughout our life,

it's extremely hard to meet

someone who truly loves you

and understands you,

and spend the rest of life

with him.

Marriage is a big deal.

You are going for the peace-making marriage.

You're the future wife of Prince Qin.

If you elope with

an envoy of Great Tang,

the consequences would be disastrous.

I think

Mr. Envoy

treats you sincerely.

Your Highness.

You should be careful.

At this critical moment,

you can't make mistakes.

But Her Highness's happiness is also important.

Stop fighting.

What are you talking about?

I can't elope with Yi'an.

But deep down in your heart,

you still want to.

These are two different things.

Shenxing.

This feeling is meant to become recollection.

What is the next sentence?

This feeling is meant...

But at the time we experience, we didn't realize.

So

I must marry into Great Tang.

There's no fate

between him and I.

But Jinyan was right.

Yi'an treats me sincerely.

Anyway,

I should go see him

and explain.

(Yuguan Posthouse)

(Yuguan Posthouse)

Stop, what are you doing?

Princess Changsheng.

- Youyong. - Your Highness.

Is Yi'an here?

He's in the room.

Then I'll go find him.

Your Highness.

Yi'an, I have something to tell you.

Don't come out.

Let's just talk like this.

I've been thinking for a long time.

These days,

we've been through a lot

and gotten close.

There will inevitably be some

feelings.

But we can't be together.

You are an envoy.

I am a princess.

I have accepted the peace-making marriage.

Now everything is settled.

Let's go back to our respective positions.

There's still a long way to go.

You have to let go of your obsession

- then we can be... - Your Highness.

Youmou?

Your Highness.

Spare the formalities.

Who is this?

He looks a bit unfamiliar.

He should be Yi'an's friend.

How many people are in there?

Changsheng.

Sir.

You guys leave us first.

Let's go.

Sir.

What?

Do we need to adjust

the return date?

No.

We'll depart tomorrow as planned.

Go back.

Aren't you not leaving?

Who said I'm not leaving?

You said in the letter

that you would wait for me.

I will always wait for you.

But I'll wait for you in Great Tang.

Then why did you write the letter?

You made a mistake.

I don't mean anything else.

Just don't get me wrong.

(It was a big joke.)

Interesting.

- I am leaving. - Okay.

Changsheng.

I'll walk you out.

No, thanks.

I'll walk you out.

Why do I feel Young Master is very happy?

I think

it's too early to be happy.

(Prince Changle's Mansion)

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

Aren't you not leaving?

Who said I'm not leaving?

You said you would wait for me.

I will always wait for you.

But I'll wait for you in Great Tang.

Changsheng.

Mother.

I knitted some colorful yarn

and put it in your travel box.

This colorful yarn

is only available in Fuyu.

I wanted to make a wedding dress for you

when you get married.

Now you are marrying to Great Tang.

You'll wear Great Tang's dress on your wedding day.

I think it's no longer useful.

Mother, don't be sad.

I'm doing fine.

I can finally get married.

I heard from Yi'an

that Prince Qin is a good person.

He has a dignified appearance

and easygoing personality.

How can you believe his words?

He is Prince Qin's confidant.

I've heard it all.

Prince Qin is cruel and violent.

That's...

That's rumors made up by people who are jealous of him.

Yi'an's words are trustworthy.

Mother.

Don't worry.

Everything

will be fine.

(Self-discipline and Social Commitment)

(Fun of Spring)

Take care.

Your Highness, take care.

This is quite a scene.

Your Highness, you're bored.

Let's take a look at the dowry

to kill the time.

- Okay. - Jinyan.

Your Highness, be careful about what you do.

Before leaving, His Royal Highness repeatedly reminded us

the treasures inside are all priceless.

We should watch it carefully.

And he also said...

Said what?

I need to keep an eye on you.

Don't open the box in advance.

It's for me.

Why can't I open it?

I want to see it.

Then go ahead.

That's what you said.

(Pregnant Pill)

Pregnant Pill.

Weird.

Nourishment Pills.

Absurd.

I thought Dad gave me some rare treasure.

Am I going to marry or to die?

So many medicines.

I will get sick from eating these.

Your Highness, watch your words.

No disease.

But I'll get sick from this.

Your Highness, watch your actions.

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

But we are not so sure.

This is what my father gave me.

Could he have put some poison in there

to kill me?

Come on, help me choose.

Which should I eat?

So many medicines.

Which one should I choose?

Just pick the one with a nice name.

Spring Pill.

Spring all year round.

This name is good.

This bottle.

This bottle is called

Lotus Powder.

Fragrance from a pool of lotus flowers.

This is nice.

This bottle is called Life Pill.

You will use it sooner or later.

It should be commonly used.

Take another look.

Is there any word in front?

I'll take another look.

There really is.

Life and Death Pill.

His Royal Highness really

has put everything in here.

Right.
