=The Unexpected Marriage=

=Episode 10=

(Luojing, Great Tang)

- Sugar-coated haws. - Come and take a look.

Prince Qin's convoy is in Wulipai.

Prince Qin has returned to Luojing.

Prince Qin's convoy is in Wulipai.

He's back to Luojing.

I have to go back home quickly

and let my daughter dress up.

Why are you running?

Prince Qin is back to the capital.

Prince Qin is back to the capital.

Prince Qin.

(Luojing)

Prince Qin.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Prince Qin.

Prince Qin.

(Imperial Study)

Father.

It's not that I'm spoiled.

It's just

the governor of Yuzhou

is such a bully.

I'm worried about you

and want to share your burdens.

And I still have to prevent the people

from scrounging.

The poverty relief work

is really hard for me.

Father.

Ke.

Your second brother really tried his best this time

but it didn't work.

The governor of Yuzhou

is your mother's family.

You can take over this matter.

Don't let me down again.

Yes.

I will definitely fulfill my mission.

- OK. - Report.

Your Majesty, the Third Prince is here.

Let him in.

Greetings, Father.

Rise.

My child, you are back.

How is it?

Who did you select

for the peace-making marriage?

She is the daughter of Prince Changle of Fuyu,

Princess Changsheng.

I thought it was the Emperor's daughter.

Princess Changsheng is the one I like.

Good.

It's rare to have a woman you like.

Now I am very curious

about my daughter-in-law.

I believe you will like her.

You've found a good match.

Congratulations, Jing.

But now

the countries around Great Tang

are all eyeing us covetously.

I don't know what's Fuyu attitude toward this.

During the days I stayed in Fuyu,

I learned

Fuyu is located in a fortress,

and its salt industry and fishery are very developed.

In the future, it'll be a contested spot.

Then why don't you conquer this place

to make it work for us?

Having said that,

if we break the peace,

it will not only greatly affect the food trade

between Great Tang and Fuyu

but also give the border countries

an opportunity for exploitation.

I remember that you

advocated war against Fuyu.

Things have changed.

It seems that you've changed

because of the future sister-in-law.

I'm just being realistic.

I have no selfish motives.

Although Great Tang is dominant,

in fact,

we're facing domestic strife and foreign aggression.

If we rashly send troops,

I'm afraid it's not good for us.

Since Fuyu is intended to show goodwill,

I guess they are afraid of Great Tang.

It's just their fear

is easy to change.

It's hard to say

whether they dare not to act rashly

or unwilling to play second fiddle.

Fuyu is trying to make nice,

but we want to dispatch troops.

That is unrighteous

and against people's will.

Father.

So what do you think?

We'll discuss this later.

Jing.

You have made a lot of progress after this trip.

Thanks, Father.

You've also matured a lot in your thinking.

You guys

should go out and travel more.

Only by traveling the world

can you know the world,

only by understanding the people

can you benefit the people.

We know.

I'll take my leave first.

Okay.

Jing.

Stay.

Ke.

Hou, what's it?

Jing holds the military power

and now has the support of Fuyu.

You don't worry at all?

I'm just a powerless and idle prince.

Hou, have you forgotten?

My main concern right now is

how to clean up your mess in Yuzhou.

Ke.

I won't beat around the bush with you.

Reasonably, the eldest son

born of the legal wife will take the throne.

The late Empress had no child.

My mother is the highest-ranking concubine in the imperial harem.

But Father hasn't appointed a crown prince.

If you stand on my side,

I will definitely give you benefits.

It's not that I don't want to help you.

I really am weak in power.

Ke, why can't you

see the situation clearly?

(Grand Tutor's Mansion)

Grand Tutor.

I'd like to ask you to pick a good day.

(Yi Jingwei, Grand Tutor of Great Tang) Wasn't this date already set?

If nothing goes wrong,

she is not Liu Changsheng.

What did you say?

I said something wrong.

Wrong?

You did not know

I'm marrying Princess Changsheng.

So the day you picked

is naturally not the best.

Now the candidate has been decided,

shouldn't we choose

another auspicious day?

Yes, yes, yes.

Okay.

But Princess Changsheng's birthday

is a bit different from ordinary people's.

Extraordinary.

In three years,

I really can't find

a second auspicious day.

Are you saying

that I'm blessed?

That's for sure.

Your Highness and Princess Changsheng

are a match made in heaven.

It only happens once in a century.

Grand Tutor.

I've always disliked people

talking behind my back

to avoid unnecessary trouble.

You're very smart.

You should understand what I mean.

Yes, Your Highness.

Please pick

an auspicious day soon.

So that I don't have to avoid seeing the bride

three days before the wedding.

I will try my best.

She's is already on the way to here.

What could possibly go wrong?

(Wenyue Inn)

Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu.

It's bad, Doctor Liu.

What's wrong?

Why are you flustered?

Princess Changsheng is sick again.

What are you stuttering about?

Again, again.

This is not the only time she has been sick during this journey.

It's the sixth time.

That's why she's sick again and again.

I'm used to it.

Let her be sick.

We still need to hurry on with our journey.

This time it seems to be real.

She pretended to be real every time.

Prince Qin knew she would do this,

so he asked me

to accompany the convoy

to welcome them.

As expected,

during the way,

there's always been trouble.

So we'll leave her alone?

Yes.

That's not going to work.

Let's go.

- Take me to check on her. - Yes.

Doctor Liu.

He's here, hurry up.

Doctor Liu, please come in.

There's nothing I can do.

Your Highness, do you know

the wedding day

was selected by the Grand Tutor based on the eight diagrams?

There can be no delay.

If you miss the time,

it'll be unlucky.

Besides, we've been

delaying time all the way.

We can't explain to Prince Qin.

Doctor Liu, please be careful with your words.

Our princess is sick now.

How can we just leave her like this?

This is Great Tang's etiquette?

I'm fine.

Maybe it's just a cold,

nothing major.

I can still take this.

Even if I die,

my body needs to be sent to Great Tang.

Your Highness.

Please let me take your pulse.

No need.

Let's continue on our way

in order not to delay

the auspicious day.

Doctor, please be careful.

This is Fuyu's princess,

and the future wife of the Third Prince of Great Tang.

Don't be rude.

I am thinking

for Her Highness's well-being.

Her Highness's disease keeps relapse

and didn't let me take her pulse.

Today I am afraid that I will delay the treatment.

I must take her pulse.

No, Doctor Liu.

Mr. Xiao, please step aside.

In case anything happens,

I need to report to His Majesty.

You...

Your Highness.

Your pulse...

- Doctor Liu, I'm fine. - How come?

I can still take this.

Your Highness.

You're not fine.

You are really sick.

It's just this disease happened suddenly

and the pulse condition is strange.

I can't be sure now.

We can't delay the journey.

Not to mention the way to Great Tang,

even if it's the road to the underworld,

I will stick it out.

After all, Doctor Liu just said

I'm pretending to be sick.

And you're betting on your future

and life.

Your Highness.

Why is your life so miserable?

You're traveling thousands of miles to Great Tang.

These people don't take good care of you,

give us a cold shoulder

and even don't want to treat you.

Your Highness, you can go first.

I will soon follow you.

Shenxing.

You and Your Highness just leave this world

and don't look back.

Wait until I finish an important thing,

I'll go join you.

Jinyan, what are you going to do?

I'm going to see His Majesty.

Great Tang is a country of etiquette.

Even if Fuyu is not as powerful as Great Tang,

we shouldn't be treated like this.

Your Highness.

I will make Doctor Liu fulfill his promise

and take his whole family

to die with us.

Your Highness, I have never felt

such a strange pulse.

Maybe I am incompetent.

I'll go

and work on the prescription.

I'm leaving.

Okay, he's gone.

Stop crying.

Xiao Zilv, good for you.

This medicine really works.

Of course I'm good.

Your Highness, about the peace-making marriage...

About this matter,

I can't turn the situation around,

but we can change

the wedding day.

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

Your Highness.

Xiuwen Hall

has been built on schedule.

Princess Royal is in charge now.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites

had a problem with this.

But the Princess Royal is so amazing.

In less than a month,

she kept

Xiuwen Hall in order.

Now there's less and less

opposition now.

I know Princess Royal is capable,

so I feel relieved to let her be in charge.

Right.

I haven't seen her for a long time.

Let's go

to Xiuwen Hall.

Okay.

Princess Royal.

How will the rules of four seasons

be implemented?

(Lv Wan, Princess Royal of Great Tang) Very simple.

In the specified season,

it is forbidden to cut trees,

cut water grass and burn lime.

Bird hunting and fishing

are also prohibited.

If there are any violators,

they shall be punished according to law.

Understand?

Makes sense.

That makes sense.

Princess Royal.

What if someone ignores the punishment?

It's even simpler.

Death penalty.

That's too cruel and harsh.

Only harsh punishment

can prevent people from violating rules.

Do you have any other questions?

Princess Royal,

when will you choose your husband?

Well...

This is most asked question

in the record.

It seems that

the workload I've assigned you

is too light.

- No, no. - Actually no.

I organize these materials every day.

I'm too busy to go home.

Who doesn't know that I have

all the three meals in Xiuwen Hall?

I amend the laws

and visit from house to house.

We're busy.

Really busy.

- Yes. - I'm busy.

Since everyone is working so hard,

go back and rest today.

Any missed work will be docked

from your pay.

Well...

Still not leaving?

These old-fashioned people

keep beating around that bush

to urge you to choose a husband

and then get married.

Then the position of supervisor will open up.

Why don't they see

who's managing

Xiuwen Hall so well now?

They just don't give up.

I don't know what kind of man

will be favored by you.

Go prepare some tea.

Prince Qin should arrive soon.

Yes.

What wonderful foresight.

How did you know I was coming?

Prince Qin, please.

Since you have already met His Majesty,

I guess you should know

the situation in the court.

Lv Hou doesn't know how to restrain himself.

He's had a hard time with you for a long time.

You don't have to worry too much about him.

I was attacked by an assassin in Fuyu.

The person behind it

is Lv Hou.

False friends are worse

than bitter enemies.

Then we should bridge

over the troubled water.

You have a lot of support

and are going to marry Fuyu's princess.

It's always right

to be cautious.

Your Highness.

Princess Royal.

We'll have to play this game another day.

If you're busy,

I'll leave first.

Aunt is on my side.

Feel free to say it.

Her Highness got sick on the way,

and might delay the wedding.

We can't talk behind people's backs.

We just talked about Fuyu's princess,

and something happened to her

before she even arrives.

You've been sick for three days.

When are you going to keep pretending?

As long as I can.

Let's miss the wedding ceremony first.

Since you don't want to get married,

- then why did you agree... - Stop, stop.

When did I say I didn't want to get married?

I just want to examine the situation

and see what Prince Qin is like.

Anyway, as long as I'm not married,

there'll be room for wiggle.

So what?

So what?

If he's really like what Yi'an said,

then I can marry him.

What if he's not?

Then Yi'an and Prince Qin can be like this.

Sure enough, the most vicious

is woman's heart.

Your Highness.

- Bad news. - What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?

Mr. Yi'an is here.

What to do?

He is the smartest.

What are you afraid of?

Aren't you guys the closest?

We're close,

but I can't pretend to be sick any longer.

I suddenly got some terrible illness,

and recovered without medical help.

If it gets out,

and people know I'm faking illness,

it'll affect the peace-making marriage.

What are you afraid of?

My medical skills are not fake.

His brain is not for show.

Her Highness is really sick this time.

The diagnosis is correct?

I have been practicing medicine for years.

This can't be wrong.

So Her Highness is really sick this time

Naturally, I can trust

Doctor Liu's medical skills.

It seems that Mr. Xiao

is even better.

His Highness doesn't want

Her Highness to know his identity yet.

Just don't reveal it.

Yes.

Make it look like it.

Mr. Envoy.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Yi'an.

How did you come?

I heard that Your Highness was ill.

Worried that you'd miss the wedding date,

I came to welcome you in advance.

When you heard that I was unwell,

you were worried about delaying the marriage

instead of me.

It's so inhumane.

I'm feeling worse

after hearing what you said.

Your Highness.

Where do you feel uncomfortable?

Actually, only two places.

Which two places?

This place

and that place.

Doctor Liu can't cure you?

Doctor Liu couldn't find the cause at first.

After taking two doses of medicine,

it still hasn't gotten better.

I'm afraid it's some rare illness.

Mr. Xiao's medical skills are superb.

Even you don't have any ideas?

My medical skills

are not worth mentioning.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Great Tang to learn medicine.

But now it seems

the medical skills of Great Tang

don't live up

to its name.

Since it can't be cured,

carry out an execution.

So cruel?

I am the princess for the peace-making marriage.

You're going to kill me?

You came from afar and got seriously ill.

Doctor Liu was not good at taking care of you

and couldn't cure your disease either.

If he returns to Great Tang, he will be punished by Prince Qin.

Why don't I punish him today?

Guards.

Drag Doctor Liu out

and beat him to death.

- Yes. - Yes.

Sir.

Sir.

Wait a moment.

My illness was cured.

Your Highness was cured without treatment.

It's really a blessing.

All thanks to Doctor Liu.

I think his medicine took effect.

So with that said,

Doctor Liu

is not only innocent,

but also meritorious?

That's for sure.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Mr. Xiao,

what do you think of

Great Tang's medical skills now?

Excellent.

You haven't learned its subtlety yet.

Take your time.

This trip will definitely not let you down.

Her Highness has been like this all the way.

It's so hot.

Why don't we tell Mr. Envoy?

Mr. Envoy, Her Highness is sick.

I think she just caught a cold.

Can you stop and treat her?

Miss Shenxing,

Her Highness is in good health.

She got sick so many times along the way.

I guess she will be fine in a while.

Sir, Her Highness is really sick this time.

Stop the carriage quickly.

Her Highness is sick.

Sir.

Prepare to return

to the inn.

Sir, we don't have much time left.

If we can't get back to Great Tang within two days,

I'm afraid the wedding date...

Yi'an, continue our journey.

You didn't hear what I just said, did you?

Yes.

Youyong, go back to the inn.

Go back to the inn.

Don't worry, Changsheng.

I won't let anything happen to you.

(Wenyue Inn)

Changsheng.

Xiao Zilv.

We don't need to pretend now.

Mr. Xiao.

Her Highness is really sick.

You are really sick?

It's true.

Every medicament has its side-effect.

Eating it is bad for your health.

Drink some ginger soup to induce sweating.

If it doesn't work, take medicine.

You can leave the rough work

to me, Jinyan and Shenxing.

Xiao Zilv.

You, Jinyan, and Shenxing should go out first.

I have something to say to Yi'an.

Is it still in time to leave tomorrow?

If we're late,

will it cause trouble to you?

Don't think about these.

Get well first.

Just leave the rest to me.

I struggled all the way

and have been sick so many times.

You are not afraid

that I'm also pretending to be sick this time?

I trust you.

Why?

No reason.

If I have to trust you for a reason,

then I don't really trust you.

Drink the ginger soup.

Cover yourself up to induce sweat.

You must take care of yourself.

I have some things to deal with.

See you in Great Tang.

Her Highness caught a cold.

Thank you for taking care of her.

I'll go back to Great Tang and explain the situation.

Mr. Yi'an, be careful on the road.

Let's go, Youyong and Youmou.

Yes.

(Changsheng.)

(You must take good care of yourself.)

(I'll wait for you in Great Tang.)

(Luojing)

- Why haven't they come yet? - Your Highness.

I've been waiting for so long.

Have you heard?

These gentlemen

are all here to welcome the Princess of Fuyu.

It's such a big scene.

Right.

She came from Fuyu

to marry Prince Qin.

I'm really curious about what she looks like.

(Luojing)

Do you see her?

She's coming.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

My head, my head.

Help me take the thing off my bun.

My neck is almost broken.

Your Highness, be careful with your words.

I've already simplified it.

You are the Princess of Fuyu

and the future Princess Consort of Great Tang.

The necessary ornaments cannot be omitted.

But this dress is too tight.

Don't women in Great Tang need to eat?

Your Highness.

The Emperor of Great Tang

personally gifted this dress to you.

Your Highness, we know

you are nervous about meeting your future husband.

It's okay, we're all here.

Don't be nervous.

Right, Your Highness.

You now look

more magnificent

that our Noble Consort.

You'll outshine all the other women

in Great Tang.

Who is nervous?

This is because

there are too many rules in Great Tang.

I'm just not used to it.

We must be going to the palace.

(Longevity Hall, Peace in All the World)

I, Liu Changsheng, greet Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Princess Changsheng had a long trip.

I heard that you caught a cold on the road.

Have you gotten better?

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

I'm fine now.

I have already prepared a banquet in the palace

to welcome you.

Let's talk

when we get to the palace.

Yes.

(Which one is Prince Qin?)

It should be the fat guy.

Probably not.

Or that boy toy.

You're kidding me.

Are you anxious?

(Longevity Hall, Peace in All the World) Now you're worried about who Prince Qin is.

Is it too late?

Your Majesty.

I represent Fuyu to present you a gift,

wishing you good health and longevity,

and prosperity to Great Tang.

(Picture of Beasts)

Good, good.

I have been searching

for his painting for a long time.

So it was in Fuyu.

Thank you for this.

I like it very much.

Reward them.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Take a seat.

Prince Qin caught a cold a few days ago.

Today he's lying in bed

and cannot come to welcome you.

You can see each other in a few days.

Yes.

Princess Changsheng

is the beloved daughter of Prince Changle of Fuyu.

She traveled a long way to Great Tang for the peace-making marriage.

Prince Qin got sick before I even arrived.

I'm afraid he's marrying me to dispel bad luck.

Due to physical discomfort...

Alright, you've started to make things up again.

...and missed the auspicious day.

Today

just think of it as a common meal.

The welcome banquet will be held in a few days.

As for the enthronement ceremony,

we have to wait for Directorate of Astronomy

to choose a good time.

Yes.

Start the banquet.

Jinyan.

Have you seen Yi'an today?

No.

Maybe Prince Qin is not feeling well.

So he's unable to attend.

Mr. Envoy is a close confidant of Prince Qin.

Of course, he stays with him.

Your Highness,

you should care about yourself.

The wedding date is not yet determined.

We might meet Prince Qin tomorrow.

What if he is really as the rumors say?

You're right.

It would be nice if Yi'an was here.

I don't know anyone here.

Let me serve you some food.

You've been tired all day.

Have something to eat.

(I wonder)

(what kind of person is Prince Qin.)

(By now,)

(I have to take it one step at a time.)

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Don't stand in the way.

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

Your Highness, please.

(Prince Qin's Mansion)

(Huadeng Pavilion)

Your Highness.

This is the side of the courtyard of Prince Qin's Mansion,

named Huadeng Pavilion.

It's specially prepared for you.

The wedding ceremony has not yet been held.

So please stay in here for a while.

After officially marrying Prince Qin,

you can move into the inner courtyard of the mansion.

His Highness has ordered

you can tell me anytime

if you need anything.

Someone!

I have followed His Highness 's instructions

and dismissed most of the servants in the mansion.

Only a few stewards, nannies

and cooks are left

to serve you.

You can be comfortable

in this place.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you for

the thoughtful arrangement.

And thank Prince Qin for me too.

I'm a little tired today.

I want to rest first.

Yes.

(Peace and Elegance)

(Prince Qin prepared everything well.)

(Is it really like Yi'an said)

(that he's marriageable?)
