What exactly does XOXO mean?

How come I can't find the meaning?

Sir, Mr. Liu returned safely.

Qin Zhan actually accepted that barren land.

Qin Zhan is an unpredictable guy.

Keep an eye on him.

Yes!

Yu Chen's birthday is approaching.

This time, I must make it grand.

I must win Yu Chen's heart.

That won't do, sir.

You must not do that.

Elder Da.

Did I ask for your opinion?

Sir.

It's fine if it's just a birthday banquet.

But, you're a prince.

The matter of your marriage requires the approval of the emperor.

Sir.

Although Yu Chen is the Leader of Fighters' Alliance,

...to the emperor, she's still a member of the underworld.

-What if... -Enough.

I know what to do.

What is Qin Zhan up to lately?

Madam Yu Chen.

He's working on the barren land Mr. Zhao allocated for him.

Let's go and check...

...in case he's doing something funny again.

Yes.

Alright.

From today onwards,

...this is our home.

No way.

I aim to complete the transformation before Qixi Festival.

I wish for your cooperation.

Qixi Festival?

Master, are you planning to...

...surprise a girl?

Yu Chen.

Good.

That's really good.

Qing Xue.

When I'm done with this,

...I'll take you to the cave to hunt for treasures, okay?

No thanks.

I'll go on my own.

Don't go alone! It's dangerous!

Qing Xue!

Why are you staring at me?

I can't do anything about it if Ms. Qing Xue is angry.

Fine.

Put down your fist.

Why do you have to do this?

I'll go.

I can't believe this.

Ms. Holy Lady.

Wait for me.

Ms. Holy Lady.

Looks like...

...you're in bad mood lately.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing's wrong.

But, I still miss...

...the cheerful you.

You don't know.

That innocent smile of yours...

...captivated the hearts of countless of heroes in Song.

Don't give me that.

I won't buy it.

Ms. Holy Lady.

You're feeling troubled because of love.

How come you know?

Back then,

I was also...

...quite a dating expert.

Why are you still single then?

I...

Ms. Holy Lady.

I learnt it the hard way back then.

You must not repeat my mistake.

Ding Ding.

You turned out to be a person with stories too.

Let's not talk about the past.

Ms. Holy Lady.

Most importantly,

...you can't be willful.

You must not lose your composure.

You need to let the person you like...

...see your concern.

You need to look at the big picture...

...in order to win.

You're right.

But, how do I show him my concern?

To capture a man's heart,

...you must first satisfy his stomach.

Think about it.

If he's used to eating your dishes,

...no matter where he goes,

...he'll think of you whenever he eats.

By then...

Alright.

I'll try your suggestion.

Ms. Holy Lady, you're so clever.

Lingjiu Palace is so blessed to have you.

Stop calling me Ms. Holy Lady.

It sounds weird.

I'm just stating the facts.

I wish I can be the holy lady of Lingjiu Palace too.

It's such a glorious thing.

Unfortunately,

...I don't have the Sunflower Bible.

Otherwise...

I'll also...

You'll also...

What?

Nothing.

You won't understand.

Ms. Holy Lady.

Let's go back and work.

Let's go.

-Otherwise what? -Let's go.

You haven't told me.

Here you go, big sister.

Try it. Come.

Like this.

Yes.

Come.

Has he gone nuts from the anger?

Why is he starting to farm?

Madam Yu Chen.

What are you doing here?

There's a lot of mosquitoes here.

Go back.

What about them? Are they okay with the mosquitoes?

Ding Ding gave us some insect repellent.

It's really effective.

Xiao Bing.

Escort Yu Chen back.

Madam Yu Chen, let's go.

Master.

Master.

You actually care about me?

Good girl.

Good.

Don't drink it yet.

What's the matter?

Can you turn this water into ice?

Of course.

Thank you, master.

What is this for?

You'll know later.

Isn't that for me to drink?

Silly girl.

Am I a fridge?

I'll keep it from Yu Chen for now.

I'll surprise her by then.

Welcome to my humble abode.

Forgive me for my poor hospitality.

Humble abode?

Are you sure you're not joking?

Xiao Bing.

Mr. Qin.

Why did you abandon your Lingjiu Palace...

...for this place?

Are you cultivating your mind and body?

Precisely.

I'll lead the life of a farmer here...

...to relax my mind and body.

I'm tired of the world of martial arts.

Qin Zhan.

Are you okay?

Are you sick?

Yes.

I think I'm having a fever lately.

I feel so hot.

-Feel it. -I...

Xiao Bing.

Come here.

This is cooling powder.

I don't know why you all are farming under the scorching sun.

But, you can share this with everyone.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm touched.

Ever since you came to this place,

...Madam Yu Chen has been absent-minded.

Xiao Bing.

Well, if anything bad happens to you...

...when you're in my territory,

...those evil sects will come to me every day.

If they dare to do that...

I'll kill them one by one!

Hey.

Do you really plan to be a farmer here?

I still have some work to do.

Alright then.

I'll come again.

Wait.

What is this?

You know what it means.

Keep it.

Hold on.

I'm leaving.

Don't forget about our duel on Qixi Festival.

I know.

Qin Zhan.

Even if the whole world condemns you,

...I'm willing to whisper words of love to you forever.

Master.

Master.

Why are you so happy?

Not really.

I just recalled some past events.

So, what do you need?

Chilled fruit platter?

This will cool you down.

Eat it.

It's delicious.

You're my best disciple indeed.

You're so clever.

Should I prepare this for you every day?

-Eat more. -By the way,

...distribute this to everyone.

This is the cooling powder Yu Chen made for us.

Do it yourself.

What's wrong again?

She's strange.

We're done.

Surprisingly, we managed to complete it before Qixi Festival.

Thanks for the hard work.

Tonight, let's hold a banquet here.

Hurray!

Ming Yue.

Go to Yu Chen's residence...

...and find out when Yu Chen will come back.

Yes, Your Highness.

Qing Xue.

Go grocery shopping for tonight's dishes with Miao San.

-Yes. -I'm not going.

Don't sulk.

It's decided then.

Miao San, take her along.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Silly girl.

Her temper is getting worse.

Your Highness.

What about me?

And me.

Right.

Clean up the house.

Else, it'll be embarrassing.

Yes.

Han Yi.

Go and get some rest.

Qing Xue doesn't seem to like Ms. Yu Chen.

Han Yi.

Actually, you're still little.

You don't understand the adults' world.

This isn't Yu Chen's fault.

Qing Xue is just throwing a tantrum...

...because I'm not playing with her.

I'll take her out to play a few days later...

...and she'll be fine.

Madam Yu Chen.

Who are you?

Where's Madam Yu Chen?

Xiao Bing, it's me.

Are you blind?

Madam Yu Chen.

I'm so surprised.

You actually...

...look pretty good when you're groomed up.

What do you mean?

I mean,

...you look heroic too when you're not all groomed up.

I've a date today.

Come with me.

Madam Yu Chen.

Who's your date?

Who's my date?

This...

The imperial decree has arrived!

Your Highness!

How come you came back earlier?

Where's Yu Chen?

The emperor organised a royal banquet for Yu Chen tonight.

His Majesty also ordered Zhao Xu to plan a lot of programmes.

I'm afraid tonight...

Zhao Xu abused his authority.

I'll make you pay.

So, in conjunction with this festival,

...I asked my father to organise a banquet to reward you.

I'm just doing my job.

You don't have to be so nice.

Don't mention it. It's no big deal.

Oh no.

Looks like I can't leave so soon.

-What should I do? -By the way,

Yu Chen.

Do you know what day it is today?

Qixi Festival.

Precisely.

Today is the day people celebrate love.

For this reason,

...let me recite a poem for you.

Clouds float like works of art.

Stars shoot with grief at heart.

Across the Milky Way the Cowherd meets the Weaving Maiden.

When autumn's golden wind embraces the dews of jade,

...one rendezvous is worth more than countless of such on earth.

Good poem.

What a good poem.

Clouds float like works of art. Stars shoot with grief at heart.

When autumn's golden wind embraces the dews of jade...

Oh no.

Don't tell me Qin Guan hasn't written "Immortals at the Magpie Bridge".

Yu Chen.

What's the next line again?

One rendezvous is worth more than countless of such on earth.

Good poem.

Madam Yu Chen.

I didn't know that you can write poems.

You're really intelligent and strong at the same time.

I'm flattered.

-I need to go. -Yu Chen.

I also prepared a small gift for you.

Please closed your eyes.

So, ancient princes chase after girls using the same boring methods?

Close your eyes.

Trust me.

Yu Chen, open your eyes.

It's a sky lantern.

You're indeed not creative at all.

I prepared this sky lantern for you.

Let's release it together.

Sure.

That's a lot.

Is it beautiful?

I specially prepared this for you.

Mr. Zhao.

Thank you for the effort.

I don't mind as long as it makes you happy.

Look.

It's so beautiful.

How pretty.

I like that one.

I like that one too.

That one is pretty.

That one is pretty too.

Let's release a sky lantern too.

-Isn't this like the year we met? -Yes.

Look at that one too.

Yes.

It's so pretty.

Zhao Xu, you're really good at this.

Yu Chen.

Don't let Zhao Xu win your heart.

Yu Chen.

I specially ordered this from Lu Ban's descendant.

Oh no.

We'll have to spend so much time in there.

Let's go. Let's go up.

Mr. Zhao.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Madam Yu Chen.

Mr. Zhao put in a lot of effort for this.

Why don't you just go up?

Xiao Bing is right.

Do you like it?

We're finally getting down to business.

It's not a bad thing.

It's better to make it clear earlier.

Yu Chen.

Kaifeng City...

...and even the entire country...

...will belong to me in the future.

And I...

...will be yours too.

Will you...

...be my crown princess?

Mr. Zhao.

You're the best prince...

... of all princes in the novels I've read.

Thank you for doing all these for me.

But,

I can't say yes.

Why?

Because...

...there is already...

...someone in my heart.

I don't mind.

I can be better than anyone else.

Mr. Zhao.

I'm glad that I met you.

Thank you for everything you've done for me...

...in this world.

But,

I don't love you.

The two of us...

...are not meant for each other either.

Why are we not meant for each other?

If you don't like the palace,

...I can relinquish my position.

I'll take you away.

We can live in seclusion.

Mr. Zhao.

You really don't have to do that.

Love can't be forced.

If you seek love by force,

...you'll only be sadder.

If you love someone,

...no matter where he is,

...whether he's poor or rich...

...or extremely influential and powerful,

...no matter how others see him,

It doesn't matter.

What really matters is...

...the mutual love.

Yu Chen.

I can really give up everything for you.

I can change myself.

If you change,

...will you still be yourself?

-But... -No but, Mr. Zhao.

I don't want to end our friendship here.

In the future,

...the country will be yours.

You're a prince...

...and the future wise ruler.

This is your mission and responsibility.

One day,

...you will meet someone...

...better than me who will suit you better.

But, that person...

Isn't me.

Mr. Zhao.

Goodbye.

Yu Chen!

Yu Chen!

Yu Chen!

Yu Chen!

What should I do?

How do I get down?

Why isn't master back yet?

I'm so hungry.

Sister Ming Yue, I've reheated the dishes.

I believe master will be back soon.

Why are they asleep?

Shu Er.

Shu Er, wake up. Don't sleep.

Ding Ding.

Don't sleep, my master is coming back. Wake up.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

And Yu Chen.

Who?

-Who hit me? -Me.

Good job.

Qing Xue, where are you going?

I want to take a walk alone.

It's Qixi Festival.

The two of you are meeting up at the Magpie Bridge again.

But, it's so dark out there.

If you lose your way and can't find the Weaving Maiden,

...let these water lanterns guide you.

Master.

Don't lose your way.

Come home quickly.

I was planning to give you a surprise...

...on Qixi Festival.

To my dismay, you can't make it.

I even prepared a lot of things for you personally.

Look at that.

And this.

And this.

And this.

I can't believe you still chose Zhao Xu.

I really wish...

Qin Zhan.

You didn't accept Zhao Xu?

I promised to have a showdown with you.

How can I not come?

Look. There's a lot of fireflies.

Yes. Fireflies are rare back home.

It's so beautiful.

It's my first time seeing so many fireflies.

Yu Chen.

I...

I've something to say to you.

The Flower Field of Oblivion?

I see. This is what you've been preparing...

...over the past few days.

Didn't you say that...

...you want to build a home here?

Yu Chen.

Would you be my training partner?

Qing Xue.

What's wrong?

I... I'm fine.

Brother San.

Don't worry about me.

Ms. Holy Lady.

I thought I taught you a move.

Why are you still so unhappy?

Ding Ding.

Let's grab a drink.

Sure.

It's my honour to drink with you.

Ms. Holy Lady.

Since we're entering the city, let's change our clothes!

Wait for me!

Your Majesty, we shall never...

Your Majesty.

Have you decided?

I'll do as you say, Imperial Preceptor.

Dispatch your army to the south.

Yes, sir!
