The night of the wedding?

24
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,540
What about it?

25
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,500
According to Deep Water Nation's customs. The Royal Wedding

26
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:52,960
requires both Zhang Henian and I to provide 60% of our military power

27
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,610
to form the Deep Water Nation King's own royal guard.

28
00:01:55,610 --> 00:02:00,980
This will make a total of 150,000 soldiers. We shouldn't neglect such number.

29
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:04,750
You can pick any day you like.

30
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:09,010
It's just that you're already plotting a revolt.

31
00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:13,860
Why are you still worried that puppet King will steal your power?

32
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:18,960
On the day of the wedding, all the royal court will be in the palace.

33
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,250
Those who support me,

34
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:28,080
I will keep. But those who oppose me. I'll get rid of them all.

35
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,760
It'll pave my way for the future. Isn't that better?

36
00:02:33,890 --> 00:02:37,190
You sure are cruel and devious.

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,640
I like it. Then it's confirmed.

38
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,890
After 3 days. On the 19th of this month.

39
00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:46,970
On the day of the Royal Wedding.

40
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:50,560
I, Zhangsun Pinrong, will definitely come congratulate you.

41
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,470
Then it's settled, First Royal Son.

42
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:57,410
I eager await.

Get out.

51
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:58,880
My Lady.

52
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,150
Get lost!

53
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:02,830
Leave!

54
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:23,770
Father.

55
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:29,490
Your daughter is unfilial.

56
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:34,560
But the future of the Tang family,

57
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,840
is in my hands.

58
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:45,590
I promise to be a good Queen.

59
00:05:47,310 --> 00:05:51,080
Once I'm in power,

60
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440
to those who bullied me,

61
00:05:54,370 --> 00:05:56,980
betrayed our family,

62
00:05:56,980 --> 00:05:58,640
I will...

63
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,020
Your Majesty, the inner palace has delivered tomorrow's ceremonial robes.

64
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:53,930
There nine items.

65
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,230
Your Majesty, although the position of Queen isn't that important.

66
00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:09,720
But is it really appropriate to give it to such an unscrupulous woman?

67
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,290
It's not up to you or me whether it's appropriate.

68
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:18,820
It's impossible to control in life,

69
00:07:18,820 --> 00:07:22,760
what should and shouldn't happen.

70
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,520
If Tang Zhirong is willing to betray everything for it,

71
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,380
then I'll just give the position of Queen to her.

72
00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:32,070
Whether she deserves it or not,

73
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:34,140
will depend on her fortune.

74
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,920
<i> What is happening?</i>

75
00:08:07,710 --> 00:08:09,830
<i> Why am I here?</i>

76
00:08:46,910 --> 00:08:48,700
<i> Lady Fair.</i>

77
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:54,800
<i> Greetings, Lady Fair. The King asks to see you.</i>

78
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,590
<i> The King? Isn't he...</i>

79
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:10,170
Godfather.

80
00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:12,690
Please rise, child. Please rise.

81
00:09:12,690 --> 00:09:16,690
Please rise. You've been startled, haven't you?

82
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,180
Godfather you could have just asked me to come.

83
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:23,370
You didn't need to organise this.

84
00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:27,510
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

85
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:30,560
Oh that's right. You were looking at this before.

86
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,800
Do you know what it is?

87
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:38,630
Look. Sparkling and golden.

88
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:41,540
This is the Nine Phoenix Coronet.

89
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:44,850
This is the ceremonial crown of Deep Water Queen.

90
00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:47,800
The Queen's ceremonial crown?

91
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,480
Shouldn't it be with Tang Zhirong?

92
00:09:56,530 --> 00:09:58,440
Who did it?

93
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,610
We're looking into it.

94
00:09:59,610 --> 00:10:03,480
Keep an eye on it. Find a good spot

95
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,600
- for her burial. 
 - I understand.

96
00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:11,450
Who else is missing?

97
00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:13,400
Tell me.

98
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,640
Miss Fuyao.

99
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,340
Maybe she left earlier than planned? It's hard to say?

100
00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:27,730
She wouldn't have gone so quickly.

101
00:10:29,060 --> 00:10:31,110
Not this coincidentally.

102
00:10:36,050 --> 00:10:38,700
Qi Zhen must have set his plan in motion.

103
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,940
What does Qi Zhen want with Miss Fuyao?

104
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,840
I want you to be the Queen of Deep Water.

105
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,470
Godfather.

106
00:10:58,350 --> 00:11:01,550
The Nine Phoenix Coronet and Scarlet Cloud Gown

107
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:07,830
is prepared especially for the Queen of Deep Water Nation.

108
00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:11,900
In my eyes, you are the only worthy candidate

109
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,300
to be the Queen of Deep Water Nation.

110
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:20,540
Godfather. Do you want me to imitate Tang Zhirong?

111
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:23,130
No of course not.

112
00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:25,120
You misunderstand.

113
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,480
I want you to officially be Xuanyuan Min's Queen.

114
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,330
Tomorrow's wedding will go ahead as planned.

115
00:11:34,330 --> 00:11:38,570
Before the ceremony begins, the inner palace will send a new decree,

116
00:11:38,570 --> 00:11:46,360
proclaiming a new Queen. It will be you.

117
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,410
But, it's not marriage personally decreed by the King.

118
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:57,140
Do you really think I'll let you actually get married?

119
00:11:57,140 --> 00:12:01,360
No. You're a dagger.

120
00:12:02,260 --> 00:12:05,750
A dagger I've placed by Xuanyuan Min's side.

121
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,000
For the wedding tomorrow, according to the customs

122
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
half the nation's troops will be reorganised.

123
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000
As imperial guards,  or royal guards.

124
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,600
And the marshal's seal that controls the imperial guards,

125
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,800
will be personally handed over by the Queen as part of the wedding ceremony.

126
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,800
The marshal's seal has never been given to a woman from the harem before.

127
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,600
The people will revolt if they knew the harem was entering politics.

128
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,800
Of course the imperial guard is controlled by the King. This is just a ceremony.

129
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,500
But if anyone was plotting to steal the marshal's seal,

130
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:48,000
the ceremony tomorrow would be the best time to do it.

131
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,300
I understand.

132
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:57,400
Godfather wants me to steal the marshal's seal for you?

133
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Yes. As long as I have the marshal's seal,

134
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,200
all 150,000 of the imperial guard will be under my control.

135
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,400
Then no matter how clever Xuanyuan Min is, he won't stand a chance.

136
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Godfather. You're giving me such an important mission. I'm afraid...

137
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,200
Failure is not an option!

138
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Child, don't forget.

139
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,200
All the lives in your family,

140
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,000
are in your hands.

141
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,000
I will definitely do my utmost best.

142
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,800
Good child. Tomorrow, at the wedding,

143
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,400
you will be closest to Xuyuan Min.

144
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Your position is the least suspect of all.

145
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,000
Remember, watch me.

146
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,700
Wait for my signal.

147
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:00,400
Then, help me,

148
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,400
kill him with no hesitation. Kill him.

149
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,000
Assassinate the King and get the throne.

150
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,700
Yes. Assassinate the King and get the throne.

151
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,500
I've been waiting too  long for this day.

152
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Your Majesty.

153
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,000
What is it?

154
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,400
The rumours of Lady Precious' accident are abound.

155
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,800
With such good servants,

156
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,200
how can the palace keep any secrets?

157
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,900
Forgive me, Your Majesty.

158
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:02,400
I'm utterly devoted to you.

159
00:15:04,180 --> 00:15:08,970
I know where your loyalty lies.

160
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,030
What do you want?

161
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,800
Your Majesty.

162
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,700
The courtiers say, although Lady Precious is gone,

163
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,800
but the wedding ceremony is a national event.

164
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,600
It should still go ahead.

165
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,100
If the King can choose another candidate for the position?

166
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,200
What are those old geezers saying now?

167
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,500
Please have a look, Your Majesty.

168
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,200
<i> [... Lady Fair will be a good candidate...]</i>

169
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,400
Yuwen Zi?

170
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:52,400
The ugly girl in the solitary palace?

171
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,300
She deserves to be the Queen of Deep Water Nation?

172
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:59,600
Your Majesty, the officials say...

173
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,700
What officials?

174
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,400
This is clearly Prime Minister Qi Zhen's idea.

175
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800
He's never been happy I chose Rong'er to be Queen.

176
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,000
He definitely has something to do with her murder!

177
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Your Majesty, you don't have evidence.

178
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
I don't have evidence? My Queen was murdered.

179
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Now my words as King are unsubstantiated?

180
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Fine. Go back and tell them.

181
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,400
I don't care who's Queen anymore. They can pick whoever they like.

182
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Get lost! All of you!

183
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Your Majesty, what about the candidate for Queen?

184
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,200
Do you want me to repeat myself?

185
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,100
Of course, I'll leave now

186
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,620
Don't get too angry, Your Majesty. It's bad for your health.

187
00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:33,000
I can breathe easier knowing that girl is fine.

188
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,710
Are you worried about her too?

189
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,800
I originally wanted her to leave. But we can't control fate.

190
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:55,800
If she's pre-destined to be my Queen. There's nothing I can do.

191
00:17:58,110 --> 00:18:00,510
You're scared of Qi Zhen, that sly fox?

192
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,200
Don't worry.

193
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,900
He'd never suspect I'd have the courage to make things difficult for him.

194
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,800
He just thinks he's got spies everywhere.

195
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,500
But he forgets, it's easy to catch trapped prey.

196
00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:22,610
You think he'll resist?

197
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:26,600
That's true.

198
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,200
He's bribed and colluded with everyone.

199
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,500
It took some effort.

200
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:36,400
If all his supporters came together,

201
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,200
it'll be almost a 400,000 strong army.

202
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,600
If you're scared, go back first.

203
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,560
Your Majesty. The Prime Minister seeks an audience.

204
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Shi Lan what are you doing here?

205
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,800
The Prime Minister was concerned you're not being served well. So he sent me.

206
00:19:25,630 --> 00:19:28,840
Shi Lan, get me a cup of tea.

207
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,200
Go, tell Xuanyuan Min. Qi Zhen wants to kill him.

208
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,300
- Tell him to escape, now. 
 - Escape?

209
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:43,800
How is he supposed to escape? There are soldiers everywhere. It's incredibly dangerous.

210
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,800
If he escapes now. Both you and I are dead.

211
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,000
It isn't worth it.

212
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:01,200
This is something I painstainkingly made over 3 months.

213
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,800
Prepared especially for your wedding.

214
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,800
This is the land of Deep Water Nation.

215
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,900
Along with a dragon and phoenix.

216
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:14,000
Please accept my amateur skills as a token.

217
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,200
There's no water in the tea pot. I'll go get some.

218
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,100
The water will be here soon.

219
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:29,200
<i> - Here. 
 - Thanks.</i>

220
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Guys, I'm really hungry.

221
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,200
- Can I... 
 - Your meal has already been prepared.

222
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:48,700
My Lady

223
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:53,000
Guys, my stomach really hurts.

224
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,700
Can I please use the bathroom?

225
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:58,700
No. Bring it here.

226
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,200
The Prime Minister has everything organised.

227
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,700
But it's hard for me to go, with you guys here.

228
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,800
Then please hurry.

229
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,900
- What do we do? 
 - We have to just give it a go.

230
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,400
Yuan Bao!

231
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:52,130
Yuan Bao!

232
00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:55,960
Yuan Bao!

233
00:21:59,610 --> 00:22:00,990
Yuan Bao!

234
00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:22,100
I don't know how to thank you for your thoughtful gift.

235
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,660
After tomorrow, you'll be my father-in-law.

236
00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:30,610
It's the fortune of Deep Water Nation that we can be so close.

237
00:22:30,610 --> 00:22:33,450
You're exaggerating, my King.

238
00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:38,250
I ordered a plaque especially for you.

239
00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:42,930
You've worked hard all these years.

240
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,010
<i> [Sacrifice for the Nation]</i>

241
00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:50,960
Sacrifice oneself?

242
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,990
For the nation?

243
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,620
Thank you, Your Majesty.

244
00:23:04,620 --> 00:23:06,380
Please, rise.

245
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:22,970
Yuan Bao truly understands me.

246
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:29,490
He's so excited for the ceremony tomorow.

247
00:23:45,610 --> 00:23:50,550
That stupid hamster. Of all times to be lazy.

248
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:53,260
Your owner's in big trouble.

249
00:24:05,050 --> 00:24:14,960
<i>Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com</i>

250
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,740
Godfather.

251
00:24:41,740 --> 00:24:45,090
- Is everything prepared? 
 - Yes.

252
00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:51,680
Where is Yun'er?

253
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,850
Did you forget? You already organised for Miss Yun'er and the Madam to leave the city.

254
00:24:56,850 --> 00:25:00,350
They should arrive in Sweet District within 2  or 3 days.

255
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,920
Reporting!

256
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,290
Prime Minister, the person we were looking for, is ready.

257
00:25:10,290 --> 00:25:13,600
- Watch him closely.
- Yes.

258
00:25:14,790 --> 00:25:16,500
You may leave.

259
00:25:19,450 --> 00:25:22,220
I just had my fortune told.

260
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,650
It was very auspicious.

261
00:25:30,970 --> 00:25:37,480
It seems even the Heavens are looking after me.

262
00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:43,790
Remember, bring this person tomorrow.

263
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:47,420
I want to let that Xuanyuan Min have a look. See what he says.

264
00:25:47,420 --> 00:25:50,190
Yes, Godfather. Heaven helps good people.

265
00:25:50,190 --> 00:25:54,190
Of course Heaven will look after you.

266
00:25:54,190 --> 00:25:57,610
But Godfather, why do you choose to revolt on the day of the Royal Wedding?

267
00:25:57,610 --> 00:26:03,210
If it's just to kiil Xuanyuan Min, I wouldn't need to be so meticulous.

268
00:26:03,210 --> 00:26:07,870
But there's also that crowd of old officials.

269
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:13,350
As long as they're around. My heart can't be at ease.

270
00:26:15,130 --> 00:26:21,780
Zhang Henian, Marquis Sea Hut: Chen Yi, General Ethics: Zhao Shuo,

271
00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:25,980
Capture Barbarian Department Head: Wang Deshan, all these people

272
00:26:25,980 --> 00:26:30,450
have never been happy with me.

273
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,340
We'll use this opportunity tomorrow.

274
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:41,180
Get rid of them all.

275
00:26:44,530 --> 00:26:49,060
But godfather, I had a look at the guest list for tomorrow.

276
00:26:49,060 --> 00:26:52,590
There's thousands of people.

277
00:26:52,590 --> 00:26:56,820
There'll definitely be collateral damage.

278
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:03,570
I've been waiting for this moment for so many years.

279
00:27:05,740 --> 00:27:11,940
Tomorrow. All those against me, will be killed.

280
00:27:13,670 --> 00:27:17,650
Even those with me, who stand in my way,

281
00:27:18,850 --> 00:27:22,130
will also be removed.

282
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:31,590
Godfather, rest easy. It will be the last time.

283
00:27:47,660 --> 00:27:49,980
Good knife.

284
00:30:08,930 --> 00:30:11,610
<i> The Lady Yuwen becomes Queen.</i>

285
00:30:11,610 --> 00:30:17,110
<i> A public festival for her coronation ceremony.</i>

286
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Why have we stopped again?

287
00:31:33,030 --> 00:31:35,790
This is the rules, my Lady.

288
00:31:35,790 --> 00:31:38,480
The coronation of the Queen,

289
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,260
needs to be blessed by the gods every ten steps.

290
00:31:41,260 --> 00:31:45,200
It also thanks the gods, for giving Deep Water Nation

291
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,060
a virtuous, docile, beautiful,

292
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:53,030
- kind and moral Queen. 
 - Alright, alright alright.

293
00:31:53,030 --> 00:31:55,570
How many more customs are there?

294
00:31:55,570 --> 00:32:00,510
The wedding ceremony today has three sections: the Coronation, the Greeting and the Nuptials

295
00:32:00,510 --> 00:32:02,870
We've only just started the Coronation ceremony.

296
00:32:02,870 --> 00:32:06,140
We'll go to the Queen's residence Forever Excellent Palace Hall to read the edict.

297
00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:08,820
Then we'll take the new Queen to greet her throne.

298
00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:13,410
- Then read the coronation scripture and accept coronation gifts. 
 - Just go.

299
00:32:27,670 --> 00:32:32,570
Prefect Xiping's assistance of the Prime Minister today will not be forgotten.

300
00:32:32,570 --> 00:32:34,920
I'll go report to the Prime Minister now. The Prefect's army is heading to the city immediately.

301
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:05,400
Stinky hamster. It's my wedding day yet you're the one all dressed up.

302
00:33:11,890 --> 00:33:16,490
I called you for ages yesterday and you didn't come.

303
00:33:16,490 --> 00:33:19,330
Yet you know it's me in this palanquin today.

304
00:33:22,220 --> 00:33:26,910
But of course, there's nothing your owner doesn't know.

305
00:33:26,910 --> 00:33:31,440
If that's the case, then good. I worried for nothing yesterday.

306
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:38,010
You have something for me?

307
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,200
<i>The day of the Grand Wedding will be the time of great chaos.</i>

308
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000
<i>Quickly finish the wedding rites. Once I call you bitch,</i>

309
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,200
<i>you must leave. The faster, the better.</i>

310
00:34:00,950 --> 00:34:03,510
This was written by your master?

311
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,700
Okay. I got it. Quickly hide.

312
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,400
When will we arrive?

313
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,800
Lady, don't rush.

314
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,600
You are the queen of Deep Water Nation. You mustn't fret.

315
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,000
How many more bowing rituals must we still do?

316
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Look. For kneeling and bowing throughout this journey,

317
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,700
we still must spend a few more hours.

318
00:34:33,700 --> 00:34:35,400
I can't wait anymore.

319
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,000
Lady, you mustn't!

320
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,600
Spread my decree. Skip all unnecessary and elaborate etiquette today!

321
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,000
Rush towards the main palace hall. Whoever dares to delay me, I'll punish him!

322
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,800
Run!

323
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,300
Lady!

324
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:51,400
Lady, this is against customs! Lady!

325
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,800
Quickly chase her!

326
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,600
Quickly prepare. Queen is here.

327
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,600
Queen is here?

328
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,000
Greetings, Queen.

329
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,700
Don't bother with it.

330
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,000
Quickly read your customary scripture.

331
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,800
Use just once incense time. If you're unable to finish reading it, I'll punish you.

332
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,600
A woman from the Changning's Yuwen clan, the goddaughter of Prime Minister Qi Zhen,

333
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,800
an aristocratic family of the Zhongxiang County, a clan endowed with favorable spirits.

334
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,400
innately gentle and composed, refined and follows etiquette,

335
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,000
respectful and with wonderful demeanor, amicable and with high morals,

336
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,100
kindness has become her second nature, endowed with virtuous disposition...

337
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,700
One incense time is about to end!

338
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,400
The Lady from Changning's Yuwen clan is being bestowed as the leader of the six palaces.

339
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,200
That's all!

340
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Accept the decree!

341
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,100
What's going on?

342
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,700
What's going on here?

343
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,500
So preposterous... This is so absurd!

344
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,200
It's not yet the auspicious time. Why were we all asked to come to the main palace hall already?

345
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,800
Based on usual customs, they should first make an offering to the heaven in Qinsheng (sacred royal) Gates first

346
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,200
and then go to Chengming (inheriting the light) Palace Hall to receive the congratulations of different nation's envoys.

347
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,800
- That's right.
- Lastly, they will come to this main palace hall to do the title conferring ceremony.

348
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,200
How come they just directly went to the third step?

349
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,000
This is all messed up.

350
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
<i>His Majesty is here!</i>

351
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,100
Greetings, Your Majesty!

352
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:46,000
Let's start.

353
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,800
But Your Majesty...Queen is...

354
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,000
When I say start, you start.

355
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
How about you do this wedding then?

356
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,500
Yes.

357
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,600
The title conferring ceremony will now start! Start the music!

358
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,200
Stop!

359
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,900
The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet. Why start the music?

360
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,600
Are you trying to change the ancestral rules too?

361
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,800
Prime Minister, I made that order.

362
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,800
Your Majesty, aren't you being too impatient? Today is the title conferring grand ceremony.

363
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,200
Queen isn't here. Who are you conferring a title to?

364
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,800
Queen will be here soon.

365
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,200
Queen's carriage is proceeding in a poised manner and had to make several offertory bows along the way,

366
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,000
I fear that she'll need an hour more to reach this place.

367
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
<i>The Queen is here!</i>

368
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,800
This...how come Queen came out on her own?

369
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,100
For several hundreds of years, Deep Water Nation has never seen such an absurd matter.

370
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,500
Your Majesty, I was late. Did I miss the auspicious time?

371
00:39:47,580 --> 00:39:51,640
Whatever time Queen comes is the auspicious time.

372
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,800
<i>Sprinkle the sacred water!</i>

373
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,000
- Godfather.
- What time is it?

374
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,500
It's still 2 hours before the third quarter of si hour(around 10 am).

375
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,800
They more or less should have arrived.

376
00:40:38,410 --> 00:40:43,200
But since this wedding proceeded ahead of time, I fear that the reinforcement army from Heavenly Fiend Nation hasn't arrived yet.

377
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,200
This...

378
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,000
Delay it. Delay everyone here to stay until the third quarter of si hour.

379
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,600
Immediately call that person over.

380
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,000
Yes.

381
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
<i>Bow!</i>

382
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,000
Your Majesty!

383
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,600
Prime Minister, what is it now?

384
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,000
I fear that we cannot proceed with the wedding yet.

385
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,000
Prime Minister, how bold of you to say that?

386
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,600
His Majesty is the ruler of Deep Water Nation.

387
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,000
Other than the previous emperor, who dares to stop his wedding?

388
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,600
Could it be that Prime Minister is claiming to have been possessed by the previous emperor?

389
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,300
General Guide (Return of Morals) is right.

390
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:35,600
The king has power bestowed by the gods. How can an ordinary folk assume to be superior than him?

391
00:41:36,930 --> 00:41:38,870
What if...

392
00:41:40,180 --> 00:41:45,010
...the person up there isn't of Xuanyuan blood?

393
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,000
Those words are punishable by execution!

394
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,800
I'm loyal to the

395
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,300
Xuanyuan royal family. The heaven and earth can prove it!

396
00:42:03,170 --> 00:42:05,370
Since I started work for the government,

397
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,000
I've always put the nation's interest as priority in everything that I did.

398
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,300
But today...

399
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,600
...if I knew that person up there is fake

400
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,600
and I still will offer him the customary bows of respect,

401
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:23,200
hence, trampling this official court uniform of Deep Water Nation,

402
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,900
that better fits as a crime punishable by execution!
