[Unique Lady 2]

[Episode 16]

Consort's back!

Didn't you say you were not waiting for Consort?

Let's go.

Where have you been?

Why come back so late?

Would you care?

Why I can't open this from you?

Why is she still here?

Why should I go? It's my...

She's our guest.

Miss Ye has something important to discuss with me.

So she stays in the Mansion for several days.

What's so important to discuss in the middle of the night?

You're still wearing the bracelet from Hua Ying Chi.

Is that okay?

Yes, it's from him.

So? You have a problem with that too, Miss Ye?

You are Consort now.

But you're still wearing a bracelet from my most admired Master.

Jing,

you really are wearing something from another man?

I'm okay with Liu Xiu Wen,

but now there's another Hua Ying Chi?

Do you really care about my reputation?

Again?

You only care about your reputation.

What am I hiding from you?

It's you who are keeping me from your relationship with her, okay?

Besides,

why everyone knows

your Zhong's family has a precious crystal bead,

but not me?

-Do you really take me as your wife? -How did you know about the crystal bead?

-Who told you that? -Let go of me.

So it seems

there's indeed a crystal bead.

It seems that, in your heart, I'm not that important at all.

I'm tired. I'll go to sleep.

Open it in whatever ways you like.

Did I say something wrong again?

Miss.

What's wrong with Consort?

Didn't she have a good talk with Prince?

Could it be that our assists didn't work?

Miss, don't you really want me to accompany you?

-No need. Go and be with your lover. -But Miss...

She mentioned the crystal bead

and she goes out a lot.

Let me see who's the one she keeps dating.

I saw her coming here clearly.

Where is she?

Have a look, paper lanterns! Paper lanterns!

Have a look at the paper lanterns.

Beautiful girls need beautiful paper lanterns.

Look at my beautiful paper lanterns, please.

I've never seen paper lanterns like this.

Girl, how can you do that?

How could you break it?

It's the most exquisite paper lantern I have.

No way. You have to pay for it. Don't try to run away!

It was broken, okay?

You dropped it before I took it.

-You want to bluff me? -Who bluffs you?

Everyone, come to judge. This girl broke my lantern,

but she refuses to pay.

Everyone, come to judge.

How can you talk nonsense?

Stop it, stop it.

Who is talking nonsense?

You broke my lantern. You have to pay for it.

You want to hit me?

Pay for it.

-Miss Lin. -What's going on?

Miss Lin, she broke my paper lantern,

but refuses to pay.

I want a reasonable claim.

Who said that? It had been broken before I touched it.

You're talking nonsense!

The fracture marks are smooth.

It's obviously broken for a long time.

How can you use it to frame others?

I teach you to use your brain to do business,

but not to deceive people.

If this happens again,

I won't teach you anymore.

Miss Lin, I was wrong.

I didn't sell anything the whole day,

I was just in a hurry.

I was wrong. I won't do it anymore. Please forgive me.

It's useless to apologize to me, apologize to her.

Girl, I was wrong. I won't lie anymore.

I still want to go to class.

You must help me.

Were you helping me just now?

Or else?

Don't you hate me?

It's true I don't like you.

But since you did no wrong, I don't have to leave you to sink.

It's not my style.

[I heard people say that Yuan Zheng Consort]

[gets too close with Liu Xiu Wen]

[and she's a very scheming and faithless woman.]

[But she could have watched me suffer today.]

[But she helped me despite knowing that I was hostile.]

[It seems that she's not as bad as people say.]

[Maybe I misunderstood her?]

Although I helped you this time,

it doesn’t mean I agree with everything you do.

Don't you realize you're putting your finger into other's pie?

Love is a matter of two.

As an outsider, why are you trying to make things complicated?

And even if Hua Ying Chi is your idol, you can't slander other girls at will.

It's unreasonable. It's a Princess Disease.

What do you want?

I...

I just think that you can spit out so many reasonable things in a breath,

in such a just and awe-inspiring way,

so cool, so sharp,

so I really admire you.

You know what?

Since my parents died,

no one has ever scolded me like that.

Only when I was little,

my brother Zhong Wu Mei did that to me.

You are the fourth one

who scolds me sincerely.

I feel very kind and warm.

This is the first time

I meet with someone who's so touched by other's scolding.

Did you just say

Zhong Wu Mei is your brother?

What?

-Zhong Wu Mei is your brother? -Yes.

You are Princess?

[Zhong Zi Yun, Princess Chang Yuan]

My real name is Zhong Zi Yun,

the youngest princess.

Being stubborn and naughty since childhood,

I was sent by my parents to Tian Yi Clique for cultivation.

To hide my identity, I renamed myself Ye Chen Xi.

I see.

By the way, never tell others what I told you just now, okay?

My identity cannot be revealed.

Don't worry, I don't have a big mouth.

But...

why Zhong Wu Mei would rather let me misunderstand

than tell me your true identity?

Maybe he wanted to use me to make you jealous

and value him more.

This King of Jealousy,

use this trick every time.

Oh, it was my fault to get between you two.

Now that you know everything, Sister-in-law,

please forgive my brother, okay?

I can tell you care about each other so much.

Why do you maintain this stalemate?

I don't want that either.

But you know your brother well.

He's so bossy with his arrogant temper,

and never care about how I feel.

I won't forgive him so easily this time.

You're right.

He's been like this since young.

Don't mention him anymore.

So you are a disciple of Tian Yi Clique?

Have you ever met Hua Hua a lot before?

I don't allow you to call my Master that way.

Okay, okay, Elder Hua?

His cultivation is very high, his whereabouts are unknown.

It has been a long time since I saw him last time.

But you have the bracelet from him,

you two very familiar?

Well...

it's a long story.

But it's not what you think.

He is someone very important to me.

He helped me a lot.

Do you know where he is now?

He...

He's no longer in this world.

What are you talking about? How's that possible?

It's true.

I saw it with my own eyes...

Every disciple of Tian Yi Clique has a spirit lamp to guard his soul.

As long as the light is on, his soul doesn't die.

Master's light is always on.

You...

really mean it?

Great.

Great.

I thought...

Hua Hua is not dead.

Was it him who I met in the street before?

Since you helped me,

you are not having an affair with my Master,

and you're my sister-in-law,

then we are friends now, right?

Yes, of course we're friends.

Then as a friend,

can you help me find my Master?

I heard this time,

he's appeared in Sheng Jing.

That's why I rushed here from Tian Yi Clique.

I can't go back empty-handed.

Fine.

You see.

It's the third night Jing's not with me.

As long as she turns around,

I can give her a big hug.

But why is she so cruel?

Could it be

that she really doesn't care about me anymore?

Miss, the bed in the side room is cold and hard.

-Let's go back, okay. -No.

He's the domineering proud one.

He hasn't apologized to me yet.

Why should I go back? I won't go back.

Zhang Ji, go persuade Prince

to apologize to Miss.

This is my task for you.

I will not talk to you if you can't complete it.

It seems Prince has regretted it.

Now it's the best time for me to complete this difficult task.

Prince, are you still bothered about Consort?

Miss, I know you are mad at Prince for his being too domineering.

But that's what he is all the time.

Sometimes, he really needs your tolerance, Miss.

But on this matter,

he's obviously wrong.

On the matter of a husband and wife fighting,

I think there is no need to know right from wrong.

People say couples make peace in bed.

It's not on the battlefield after all. It doesn't matter if you win or lose.

But what about my dignity?

It depends on which is more important

in your heart, Consort or dignity?

Of course it's Con...

Miss, it's useless to reason with men.

It's even more terrible when they get jealous.

Prince has always been like a child.

But it proves that he cares about you.

He values your future together.

On this matter,

am I caring too much about whether I'm wronged or not,

than understanding him?

He finally helped me get the position of Consort,

but I met with the "enemy"

Liu Xiu Wen.

Thinking this way,

it seems I'm really not that thoughtful about his dignity.

Miss, thinking for each other

is actually the way for husband and wife to get along.

The way for husband and wife to get along?

Exactly.

Like me, ever since I'm with Xi Que,

as long as I can see her smile,

I won't ask for anything else.

Zhang Ji,

I'm very curious

where you learned the way for husband and wife to get along.

I learned it from Xi Que's romance novel.

If you are curious, Prince, I can recommend you a few

like Dream of Lovers etc.

You may also learn a lot.

Even a dull man like Zhang Ji understands these things.

I can't be worse than Zhang Ji, can I?

The ending in novels

is mostly through hardships,

lovers get together.

But the truth of life is,

now that we decided to be together

we have to stand the tests of life.

Love can be sweet,

but life requires mutual trust and sincere communication.

-Xi Que. -Zhang Ji.

-I think I know what to do. -I know what to do.

-How's it going? -It works.

Great. Now what we need

is only an opportunity to reconcile them.

Opportunity?

They both need a little push.

We have to help them.

But how?

I've got an idea.

Zhang Ji made a lot of sense.

But what I said to Jing earlier...

Will she still not talk to me?

Is it too rash to meet her now?

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

-Retreat. -Yes.

Brother, eat something.

I'm fine. Just put it there.

Fine. What a pity.

So delicious Sushi will be wasted.

Sushi?

Only Jing can make Sushi.

Could it be her?

Zi Yun, is this...?

You're right.

She finally talks to me.

Xi Que, is there anything or food

that only Consort could do?

Food?

Yes, Sushi.

Miss, Prince is back

and he prepared an apologetic dinner for you.

He's waiting for you.

The barbarian finally apologizes.

Jing, wait for me.

Jing, I miss you so much.

You finally miss me.

Finally?

I miss you every second.

You will never again not talk to me from now on.

It's you who started the cold war first, okay?

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't talk to you that way.

No. I was wrong too.

I didn't think about your feelings.

I shouldn't doubt your love.

It's my bad.

I know

I always lose my temper because of jealousy.

But I was actually mad at myself.

Every time with you,

I always feel that I am not good enough.

I get jealous

due to the fear of losing you.

You are good.

It's all my fault.

I don't allow you to make an apology before I do.

How could you be so domineering even when you make an apology?

But you like it, don't you?

I heard people say

that it's easy to love, but not to get along.

Only ordinary day to day life,

proves true love.

So you came to me only because Zi Yun pretended

to be sending the Sushi I made?

Otherwise, were you planning

to never take the initiative to come to see me?

Of course.

No way.

I planned to come today

if you didn't come yesterday.

I looked forward to seeing you every day like a desperate wife.

Those were really tough days.

Why didn't tell me

Zi Yun is your sister?

You created this big misunderstanding.

-You deserve it. -Yes, I deserve it.

But for the crystal bead you mentioned earlier,

there's indeed one in Sheng Jing

guarded by Zhong's family.

But it's too important to disclose

unless necessary.

Is there really a bead?

Yes.

Because you mentioned it,

I got suspicious.

Only a few people know about it.

Jing, who told you about it?

If I said it was Xiu Wen,

would this King of Jealous got jealous again?

But

since you are one of our Zhong's family now,

I'll tell you if you want to know.

No, no, no.

You said it was too important.

I may feel less stress if I don’t know.

Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Is this made by Zi Yun?

I made it myself.

Try it.

You did it?

How do you like it?

Well...

done.

I knew I'm very talented in cooking.

But Xi Que was so reluctant to let me do it.

Xi Que, why didn't you stop him?

I've decided that starting from today,

I'll make Love Sushi for my Consort every day.

That...

that is not necessary.

You need a balanced diet.

You can't have it just because it's good-tasting.

Besides,

I'll feel bad if you get tired.

Right.

So Consort, you just finish all these I made today, okay?

I'm stuffed.

Have one more.

I am really full.

Prince.

What is it?

Prince, the banquet of Sheng Jing and Qi Yu Chamber of Commerce

will start at noon in Linjiang Tower.

Sheng Jing Chamber of Commerce has sent a messenger to invite us.

-Got it. We go now. -Yes.

In addition, Consort,

I found something

about the opium case you told me to investigate.

Prince Yuan Zheng,

since the contest of Chamber of Commerce,

how are you doing?

I should greet Prince Qi Yu first.

Are you still bothered

by your failure to get the chairmanship?

Let's wait and see if you can always be so proud?

Loser.

So

as it's a banquet today,

let's not talk about business, okay?

We just eat and drink,

and watch singing and dancing, okay?

We are old friends after all.

Consort, you can't be joking.

On such a grand occasion,

what a pity if we don’t talk about business.

Prince Yuan Zheng, what do you think?

Yi Yi made a good point.

Why didn't Jiang come until now?

Everyone, I'm so sorry.

I'm late.

-I'm sorry. -What took you so long?

It's all my bad.

Miss Yi Yi, I have a question for you.

Will you...?

Since it's only about nostalgia, let's not talk about business.

Do whatever you want.

Prince Yuan Zheng, make yourself at home.

I will not feel so restrictive, either.

Still staring at him?

Don't compete with him, okay?

My God. I'm so exhausted for you.

I didn't make trouble for him

because you are so sensible.

You have to serve me well tonight.

Yes, all right, my Prince Yuan Zheng.

Master Jiang really deserves your reputation

to handle everything properly.

I'm really impressed.

I remember you once told me

that there's something you don't want to mention,

and someone you can't mention his name.

I didn't understand until just now

the implication of your words.

Having such an identity,

your bitterness and hardship,

may not also be split out to outsiders.

I used to live only for one person.

Now, I'm very content to be there for him.

-Prince, cheers. -Cheers, Prince.

Please, please.

Thank you for working hard for us, Prince.

Prince, thank you a lot.

-Good. -Prince, way to go.

Go now if you're worried about him.

I just want Yi Yi to do what she wants

and can be cherished by others.

It's all your merit that we can live here in Sheng Jing.

-I cannot drink much. -Then drink less.

-Thank you very much, Prince. -Drink less.

That's my job.

Let me drink another one with you.

Come on, Prince.

-Eat something. -Okay.

Master Jiang.

Lan.

What?

Aren't you happy seeing me, Master Jiang?

I really look forward to meeting you tonight.

How is that possible?

Your sister Yi Yi has just left.

If she is here, how can you remember me?

How could it be, Master Jiang?

You're the only one in my heart.

How about...I show it to you?

Meng.

Brother Jiang.

I know you do love me.

So

I'm not afraid of other's attempts to separate us.

What are you doing here?

You don’t like this kind of occasion, do you?

I'm here to say goodbye.

You know, I'm a big fan of Master Hua Ying Chi.

I finally know where he is now,

of course I'll rush to see him at the first place.

You have news about him?

Just wait for my news, okay?

I'll bring him to see you when I find him.

Can you then ask him to give me a bracelet, please?

I'll try.

This handkerchief was from my mother when I was young.

Now I give it to you.

You should be my good sister-in-law,

especially in front of Master.

-Say something good about me! -No problem.

If Hua Hua knows

he has a huge fan like you,

he'd be moved into tears.

I don't allow you to call him that.

Hua Ying Chi, Elder Hua, okay?

They both totally ignored me.

Weren't you fighting like chick and doggy earlier?

Why are you so kind to each other now?

You are the chick.

-You are the... -Doggy.

Then you are the doggy sister.

Sure enough. Like brother, like sister.

Is it necessary to explain the friendship between besties?

Take good care of my sister-in-law.

And also,

never tell Royal Brother about my return to Sheng Jing.

Otherwise, I can't leave.

From today on,

I'll continue with my star-worshiping,

wandering the world with my sword.

"Green hills do not change, green water always flows."

Until next time!

Your sister is really...

Your father was farsighted to send her to Tian Yi Clique for cultivation.

But it seems...

it hardly works.

But

As one of the Zhong's family,

to live as carefree as her can be considered a luxury.

Jing,

from now and then, I feel lucky

to have you around.

Otherwise, I don't know how to spend my life.

Are you all right?

Why are you so sad suddenly?

Actually,

today is my mother's birthday.

But it seems

that I'm the only one who still remembers.

My mother loved this kind of occasion most.

Every time there's a banquet,

she would definitely join.

She would definitely the most pretty woman.

But now,

no matter what banquet in Sheng Jing,

I cannot see her anymore.

You can't see her,

but she can see you.

I believe your mother must be

watching you silently in Heaven.

If she knows

you're working so hard for Sheng Jing,

she would definitely be proud of you.

See?

Your mother saw and heard.

It's so romantic. I like it so much.

Look, there are sky lanterns over there.

Consort, where's Prince?

He is with someone from the Chamber of Commerce.

Meng,

I heard that Shisanyu Shop has been doing well lately.

Congratulations!

Remember to save some fashionable outfits for me, okay?

Otherwise, when I want it,

I'm afraid I can't get it even after waiting in a queue.

Consort, you're using words that I can't understand again.

Fashion what?

-Fashion is... -I'm so angry.

How could that Tang Meng still linger around Master Jiang?

So disgusting.

Why are you saying that?

I've got affirmative news

that the opium found in Master Jiang's soup during the contest was her deed.

Although we were born humble,

at least we're frank and honest.

Not like someone

who appears in deep affection,

but behind other's back, who knows what dirty things she did.

Is the news reliable?

Of course.

Wen Xiang Lou owns the highest level intelligence sources.

And now I'm the top performer in Wen Xiang Lou.

Of course I get information more quickly.

She is going too far.

How could she be so vicious?

Doesn't Master Jiang treat her well?

You'll be more shocked by something else.

Master Tang, Tang Meng's father,

colluded with former Grand Chancellor and did some harm to Sheng Jing.
