Send warmth?

Thank you, I'm not cold.

Since I'm here,

let me in to talk for a while.

Please.

I want to sleep.

Look.

What are you doing?

I'm getting inflamed

and my mouth is swollen.

And you still took advantage of me.

Your Highness.

Is your mouth okay?

Why is it so red?

I understand.

What do you understand?

Go to the training ground and run thirty laps.

What's there to be shy about?

Is Her Highness not satisfied?

Run sixty laps.

What are you grinning about?

Let's go.

(Library) I think you're wrong about this.

- Change it like this. - Don't change it.

You said it before.

What are you saying?

- He said he had to change it. - Your Highness.

This doesn't need to be changed at all.

I didn't say it.

Changsheng.

- Look at this place. - Changsheng.

There is a problem with it.

(Library)

Changsheng.

Changsheng.

Your Highness.

Aunt.

How come you have time

to come here today?

Every year I come here to check the collection of books

and see if there's anything I can help with.

I'll report to His Majesty

our progress tomorrow.

Prince Qin doesn't have to bother

to come here specially.

I'm afraid you have another intention.

I'm here on official business.

How is the damage to the books in this year's collection?

This is a very troublesome matter.

If you want to know

the damage to the books,

first

we need to check the lists

and inventory.

Second,

we need to look through the bookshelves carefully

and seal the books one by one.

Since you're here on official duties,

then today,

accompany me

to sort these out.

We need to finish all this today?

Certainly.

This is the daily work of Xiuwen Hall.

Since you're here to perform official duties,

just get familiar with it.

But I have other official duties.

Today is really inconvenient.

Xiuwen Hall is very important.

Letting you know it in advance

can help you manage it in the future.

Don't you have this little time?

Of course I do.

But can I do it another day? Today is...

Why not today?

Never mind.

Go ahead.

Your business

is in the compiling room in the back.

Aunt,

thank you.

Changsheng...

(What is he writing here?)

(Unencumbered by worldly thoughts, with rituals as clear as a pure river)

(What did Lv Jing prepare for me?)

(Chenopodium album, plant, its leaves are edible)

(It's a dictionary that explains rare words.)

He has some conscience.

I don't know if he's left.

Now that today's work has finished,

why are you still standing here?

Is it that

you like Xiuwen Hall now?

What do you know?

I am absorbing the natural spiritual energy.

Not like you,

slow-witted.

Why have you

always looked distracted?

Did something happen?

No.

It's so busy here, how can I think of anything else?

All right.

You don't have to tell me.

I'm in a good mood today.

I'll take you to eat something delicious.

You go, I won't go.

I'm going to eat roasted pigeon.

You're not coming?

I'm leaving.

Wait.

For the sake of roasted pigeon,

I'll go with you.

Then I'll go get changed.

Okay.

(Library)

I'm exhausted every day.

How long do you think it will take us to compile them?

Tomorrow

I'll copy some for you.

But let me be clear.

Today I'll order whatever I want.

It's on you.

No problem.

Changsheng.

Changsheng.

What a coincidence.

You haven't left yet?

I was just about to go out to dinner with him.

Just to thank him for helping me out

a few days ago.

Come over.

Since you invited me to dinner,

why go to him?

What a coincidence.

Today I also asked my wife out

to celebrate how well her work is going.

I suddenly feel full.

Maybe we can

skip this meal. Let's take a rain check.

- No. - No.

What to do then?

Since you promised me first,

you can't go back on your word.

Who do you choose

between the two of us?

I have the final say on this meal.

Changsheng invited me to dinner today.

Of course I have the final say.

(Menu) Or you can change to another table.

I will take care of Changsheng.

I will pay

for your meal.

I have known Changsheng for eighteen years.

Changsheng will not let me leave.

But you deliberately ruined our dinner.

What do you want?

You've known her for eighteen years

and are still her friend.

I thank you

for not marrying her

on behalf of my wife.

You...

Stop talking.

I have the final say on this meal.

Spicy chicken.

Sweet and sour pork.

The dishes are ready. Please enjoy.

Mr. Xiao.

You're Changsheng's friend,

I should toast you.

Thanks.

This is harmonious now.

I like it.

Try this.

Great Tang's longsnout catfish is very tender.

Changsheng doesn't like trouble,

and likes to eat processed seafood.

Longsnout catfish is bony.

Changsheng doesn't like it.

The spicy chicken is also good.

Try it.

Changsheng's body has much heat,

she can't eat spicy food.

It doesn't help with her heatiness.

Come on.

Eat some cucumbers.

Stop it.

Eating meat can't stop you from talking.

I also want it.

I'm afraid the old hand injury has recurred.

It hurts.

I'll feed you.

Okay.

Xiao Zilv.

What are you doing?

I picked this meat first.

My wife gave me it.

Of course I should eat it.

It's so noisy.

It's really a waste to eat with you.

I'll go out for a while.

- Where are you going? - Where are you going?

- I'll go with you. - I'll go with you.

To the bathroom.

That is Princess Changsheng from Fuyu.

Is her name Li Changsheng or Liu Changsheng?

Liu Changsheng.

Yeah.

It is said that this princess

is hard to get married.

Anyone who admires her

doesn't end well.

She has a very bad reputation,

a very evil character,

a very bad temper,

a very shallow mind

and a very beautiful face.

Princess "Five Very".

Princess "Five Very"?

- He's quite good at making up stories. - Is that true?

But Prince Qin

is also a tough guy.

He's not afraid of her.

Prince Qin

has great martial arts skills

but is simple-minded.

There are many

young and beautiful women in Great Tang

seeking a marriage with Prince Qin.

But Prince Qin ignored them all.

He was fascinated by

the Princess of Fuyu.

Let me tell you,

she looks young,

but she's already in her twenties.

You don't say.

This princess of Fuyu

is kind like

our Princess Royal.

Princess Royal

is also over twenty.

Speaking of which,

Princess Royal is talented and virtuous,

has good looks and a high status.

She's just not wise

in her marriage.

She compiles books at Xiuwen Hall every day,

looking so cold and boring.

Which man would want her?

Right.

She's read too many books

to know how to serve and care for her husband.

Maybe Princess Royal hasn't...

How dare you discuss Princess Royal?

A bunch of commoners.

Judging by the voice,

it is Princess Changsheng.

You can't even compare

to a hair of Princess Royal's.

You said Princess Royal was unwise in marrying.

Should she marry you,

a bunch of losers

who only talk about others after drinking?

Is that wise?

And you.

Princess Royal concentrates on compiling books

and preserving classics

to benefit more people

and let the culture of Great Tang

passed on to the world.

Unlike you,

who only hangs out in the tavern all day.

How many men

can compare to her?

Who are you?

What does it matter to you

who we're commenting on here?

The little girl is so hot-tempered.

I am afraid that in the future,

she can't find a husband

just like Princess Royal.

Exactly.

Who will like her?

Who just said that Princess Royal is cold and boring?

Princess Royal is outstanding,

and talented,

both lofty and sublime.

Besides,

Princess Royal cares for the people.

You bunch of vulgar people

don't have right to comment on her.

- That's right. - Princess Royal will find a good match.

You don't get to judge her.

There are still some people who like her.

Have you seen Princess Royal?

Have you?

Of course we've seen her.

Go ask the Assistant Minister of Xiuwen Hall.

Who hasn't seen us?

Xiuwen Hall?

Is that a place

you filthy people can go?

Sir, it's Prince Qin.

Go, go, go, what Pince Qin?

Today, I will

teach these ignorant people

a lesson.

You and you.

Prince Qin.

They

were so arrogant just now.

Greetings, Prince Qin.

- Greetings, Prince Qin. - Tell me

whose side should I take.

Prince Qin.

I mean

I care about Princess Royal

and Princess Changsheng.

Yeah.

We're just afraid

they're too busy

and have no time to settle down.

Your Highness.

How do you want to deal with them?

Your Highness, spare me.

Never mind.

Let them go.

Thank Her Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

- Thank you, Prince Qin. - Get lost.

Go, go, go.

Prince Qin is impressive.

Xiao Zilv.

What you just said

can't be serious.

That's for sure.

I was helping you out.

I'm already grateful

that you didn't kick me when I was down.

Why are you so kind to help me out today?

You're not faking it, are you?

- Don't. - Don't touch him.

He is Xiao Zilv.

We have delayed long enough.

Let's go back.

Trying to change the subject.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Mr. Xiao, please stay.

Princess Royal.

You've been here?

Princess Royal.

This is not the imperial palace.

Let's skip these etiquettes.

Yes.

Aunt.

Mr. Xiao has difficulty walking.

If you came by a carriage,

please give him a ride.

(Yihe Tower)

Princess Royal, we are leaving first.

See you.

Are they trapped?

Why don't they move?

I'm afraid my aunt has taken a fancy to Xiao Zilv.

How can it be?

How could a woman like Princess Royal

fall for Xiao Zilv?

He's just a talking idiot.

Why do you think

she kept Xiao Zilv here?

Because

Xiao Zilv just overstepped,

so she wants to teach him a lesson.

How could my aunt be such a petty person?

What else could it be?

You can't hide

your feelings for someone

like you can't hide a cough.

You are just too careless.

I appreciate your kindness.

It's still early.

The inn is quite close to here.

I can return on my own.

Did I say I'd give you a ride?

I was overthinking it.

Then goodbye.

Princess Royal, is there anything else?

I want to ask you

just now you said

I was lofty

and sublime.

Is that what you think of me?

Yes.

The words are well-chosen.

Then you said

I care for the people.

That's also what you think of me?

I was describing what I saw and heard at Xiuwen Hall

to clear your name.

You said you would marry me.

It just rolled off the tongue.

I meant no offense.

Rolled off the tongue?

I was being reckless.

In a moment of urgency,

my words

caused you to misunderstand.

It's my fault.

Misunderstand?

It's fine.

Of course,

how could you possibly like me?

What if I like you?

You must be joking.

So in your heart,

I'm just a joke?

Princess Royal will find a good match.

You don't get to judge her.

In a moment of urgency,

my words

caused you to misunderstand.

(Gentleman)

Princess Royal.

(Bitterness and Sweetness) Xiao Zilv really went too far.

I just looked all over

and couldn't find him.

A few days ago, he was saying

how important

the work in Xiuwen Hall is,

but today he skipped work for no reason.

Should he be severely punished?

If you want to punish him,

I'll go to the inn now

and get him here for you.

Then I'm going.

He needs to be punished.

Going out for private gain

also needs to be punished.

Well,

I suddenly feel

Xiao Zilv is not that kind of person.

What do you think?

Shouldn't you know him better than I do?

Is it that

he offended you yesterday?

Or

something happened between you

yesterday in the carriage?

I am the Princess Royal of Great Tang.

He is the envoy of Fuyu.

What do you think

will happen between us?

Of course, it is national affairs.

I knew it.

How could she like him?

I confessed my feelings to him.

It's just a confession.

It's very...

What?

Confessed your feelings?

I like him.

Princess Royal.

You are good.

And then, what was Xiao Zilv's reaction?

Then he thought I was joking.

How could you be the kind of person who jokes?

Anyway, he turned me down.

Don't be discouraged.

I think

he might have been frightened

and didn't know how to react.

It doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like you.

Whether he was frightened

or amused,

anyway, he doesn't like me.

Not necessarily.

Think about it.

You guys usually argue with each other

and look incompatible.

But at the critical moment,

he spoke up for you.

Would you speak up for someone you don't like?

With his character,

not only he won't,

he will also rub it in your face.

So you mean...

I mean

don't be discouraged.

Don't worry, I will definitely help you.

Sorry.

I overstepped the boundaries.

No.

Then please help

set us up.

When love is strong,

and the two people

become inseparable

like glue,

there's no need to say more.

(Tanghui Inn)

Thanks for your kindness.

I, Xiao Zilv...

No, no.

Envoy...

Mr. Xiao, someone came to see you.

- Let him in. - Yes.

Mr. Xiao.

Who are you?

I am the messenger sent by Princess Royal.

I came to inform you

Princess Royal invites you to an appointment

and specially prepared

your favorite roasted pigeon.

Now she's waiting in the tavern.

Mr. Xiao.

Go back and report to Princess Royal

that I will definitely meet her on time.

Okay.

I'm leaving now.

(I was trying to protect the Princess of Fuyu, I didn't mean...)

What time is this?

Why hasn't Xiao Zilv come yet?

I finally created an opportunity

for them.

Can't waste it.

Your Highness, you are so anxious.

People might think you are meeting your lover.

Your Highness,

you're not waiting for them,

but are anxiously waiting to watch the show.

Unfortunately, the audience arrived too early.

The main characters haven't appeared yet.

Don't point it out.

I'm matchmaking them personally.

If it doesn't work,

I will lose my face.

Oh no, why is Lv Jing here?

If he meets Xiao Zilv,

the plan I worked so hard on will definitely be ruined.

No, we must not let them meet.

Xiao Zilv had to come

at this time.

Go and hold back Youyong and Youmou.

- Leave Lv Jing to me. - Okay.

Please come in.

Changsheng.

When you see a man in purple,

lead him to that room.

I'll pay you.

Go.

Okay.

Let's go.

Sit, sit, sit.

What are you doing here?

This question is strange.

Of course I came to drink.

What else can I do here?

Nothing.

Then you eat here.

I'll accompany you.

You don't need

to compile books today?

Who said I'm free?

I'm here on official business.

Official business.

In a tavern?

Is there anything I can do for you?

I'll help you.

I have arranged it.

Just don't make trouble.

Okay.

Sir, please come in.

Please be careful with the stairs.

- This way. - Oh no.

Why the waiter is leading him to here?

Oh God.

Go, go, go, go.

- You are... - Go in, go in.

Please.

Be careful.

Mr. Xiao.

Princess Royal is waiting for you in Room No. 1.

This is Room No. 2.

I got in the wrong room.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Did I do something wrong?

Of course.

Could it be that I am wrong?

How could your arrangement be wrong?

Especially the three steps just now.

But you know Xiao Zilv quite well.

I don't know how are you going to treat me?

I've known him for many years.

Isn't that normal

that I know him a little?

But it's mainly to help Princess Royal.

I've never treated him like that.

Don't get me wrong.

But what's learned from books is superficial.

Next time you give advice to others,

can you demonstrate it yourself?

You...

Your Highness.

If you are here,

then His Highness is also here.

In the cabinet.

He's coming out.

Your Highness.

You look accomplished now.

It's good that you've done it.

Your Highness, will you come out yourself

or we should help you?

What are you saying?

How can you let His Highness do it himself?

Your Highness, watch your head.

Princess Royal.

I'm late.

No.

You came just in time.

They just served

the freshly roasted pigeon.

No need.

You have something to say to me?

I tossed and turned

and thought about it for a long time.

I think some things are needed

to explain to you in person.

Go ahead.

After saying goodbye to you,

I thought about it for a long time.

About what you said that day,

I'm afraid

I can't take it.

First,

I'm making this trip

as the guard of Princess Changsheng

to ensure the smooth conduct of the peace-making marriage.

Meantime,

I'm here to learn the medical skills

and etiquettes of Great Tang.

Second,

I only have respect

for you,

but no love.

If I've ever

offended you

with my words and actions,

please forgive me.

Any more words?

Just tell me.

I

never considered staying in Great Tang.

Okay.

I see.

I respect your choice.

Thank you, Princess Royal.

A woman immersed in ancient books

is really generous.

You're sensible and understanding.

I'm sure you can meet a better man in the future.

But I don't have the luck.

Tomorrow at 9 a.m.,

a batch of Buddhist scriptures is to be sent

from Xiuwen Hall

to a temple in the suburbs.

I'm afraid we're short of manpower.

I can help.

Thank you.

Then I'll take my leave.

The roasted pigeon here

tastes really good.

Princess Royal.

I just came

to tell you my thoughts

personally.

I won't bother you anymore.
