[The Romance of Tiger and Rose]

[Episode 11]

[Qingfeng Tea House]

This cherry represents Yingying, the apple's adviser.

He looks harmless but his intentions are well hidden.

As a child, cherry was saved by apple

so he is obsessed and very loyal to the apple.

Many things that the apple succeeded with are due to the cherry's planning and advice.

Including the apple defeating the banana.

Third Princess, this story keeps becoming more complicated.

We haven't even sorted out the love triangle between the orange, apple and banana.

- Why did you add in another character— - It is not complicated!

I brought in this cherry to help me sort out relationship issues between characters.

In the original script... the cherry noticed that the apple likes the banana.

Thus, on Mount Weimeng, he used every method

such as the typical trapping and drugging, one method after another.

In the end, the banana falls into the trap and falls in love with apple.

This time, the cherry can play its role on Mount Weimeng

according to the original plot.

Then Han Shuo and Chu...

Then... Then the relationship between the banana and the apple will come to fruition.

Then I can sit and await for the finale.

The plots have changed too much!

I am very curious about what the cherry needs to do

to clean up the mess made by the orange in the past.

- Qianqian. - Be careful!

Su Ziying, you...

Please don't misunderstand, Young Master Han.

I am just scared that Third Princess will catch a cold as the wind is strong.

- If I have done anything wrong, please forgive me. - What are you doing?

- Why are you making Yingying kneel? - I didn't!

Replying to Third Princess, I have offended Young Master Han.

So he gave me a slight punishment.

Sorry for disturbing you.

When did I punish you?

Young Master Han, if you are not happy with me I will gladly get punished.

But please don't misunderstand my Master's

- good intentions towards Third Princess. - When did I bring up Pei Heng?

Han Shuo, Pei Heng only sent Yingying over to look after me.

Besides, he is well-behaved and listens well.

Don't think badly of people all the time, okay?

Get in the carriage! I have something to tell you.

Young Master, you have been frequently massaging your chest recently, have your heart disease relapse again?

It's not heart disease but my heart feels frustrated.

Han Shuo, go find Second Sister and discuss today's travel plan.

Look at you two! One of you is wise and courageous and the other is good at leading the army.

With you two I feel more at ease.

You two must discuss things properly.

Discuss in a very detailed manner. Got it?

Go!

- Second Lady. - Young Master Han.

The geography of Mount Weimeng is complex, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Do you have any good strategies to ensure an imminent victory?

Meng Guo is arrogant. On learning that someone's coming to encircle him,

he won't hole up in the mountain.

Look! We will station ourselves here.

We will need to find a chance to lure him out and then capture him.

- But we still need a bait. - I think Su Ziying is a good choice.

Su Ziying?

I'm just joking! Su Ziying is just a lowly servant who is adept at sweet talk.

What capability and virtue does he have to lure Meng Guo out of the mountain, unlike me who is the Young Master of Xuanhu.

At the right time this information should be released to get him to capture me.

First Lady, here is today's sesame paste, ginseng tea, the pearl barley water and the bird's nest. [Serene like the orchid]

They are all excellent tonics.

In such beautiful days, only a worthless person like me wastes the time away at home.

Life is bitter and short.

I don't know if I can be freed from this soon.

First Lady, no matter how much you look down on yourself,

Third Princess is still worse than you.

Even if she is the Young City Master, she still idles about.

Even official documents are handled with the help of Minister Pei.

First Lady, Master Su is here.

Greetings to you, First Lady.

Why are you here?

Where is Qianqian?

The Young City Master has been sent by the City Master to Mount Weimeng to suppress the bandits.

She already left at 7am but she left me a command

to come everyday for your rehabilitation.

Qianqian has gone to suppress the bandits?

Zi Nian, didn't you say Third Princess idling about?

I'm not practicing! Zi Nian.

First Lady.

Why didn't you leave yet?

Why are you still like a child?

- Writing a will like a diary? - You...

How dare you!

You can't look at them!

First Lady.

Are you seriously,

not letting me look at them.

If you want to look at them, then look!

The first will.

New Year's Eve, 9th Year of Fengde: Mother and Third Sister are playing on ice.

I was itching to joining them.

First Lady wants to ice skate.

- The second will... - First Lady!

This is the second will. The Dragon Boat Festival, 11th Year of Fengde.

Third Sister rode a horse on the street.

She wasn't careful so fell off. I envy her!

First Lady, so you want to ride a horse?

This is something I can do for you.

The next one, the third will.

Fengde...

Actually, the year is not important.

It just means that First Lady is growing up.

Therefore you want more and more.

Flying a kite...

First Lady, you have never flown a kite before?

You also want to go to the Academy.

The Academy is not a good place.

But... But they have all been.

First Lady, you don't need to go to the Academy.

Back then, all the entertainers will try their hardest to please.

But it's worth less than my adoring smile.

Let me see the last one—

You poured your heart into the letters.

If you throw it on the floor, isn't it a waste?

I was just writing nonsense.

As long as you promise me to exercise according to the regime in Young City Master's book.

Then I will think of every possible way

to take you to ride on a horse, ice skate and fly a kite.

As for the Academy, I think there's no need to go.

I know everything the entertainers at the Academy know.

Who wanted to go? I randomly wrote it.

There is also the last letter in your hand.

No matter what... what your wish is,

I will do my best to make it a reality.

- Really? - Really.

First Lady, are you looking down on me because I was raised in the Academy.

So you think I only know how to lie to women and that everything I say doesn't count?

Of course, not! You are different from others.

Never mind! You can't possibly know

what is written in this letter.

I will just pretend you were speaking gibberish.

Then... we should...

Let's practice.

Alright.

Master Su, from today on-wards, you will be our mansion's honored guest.

The capture of the bandits is clearly meant to be Young City Master's responsibility,

How come you've ended up doing all the work?

She is the Young City Master but you do the hard work.

In the end, she will take any credit.

If anything goes wrong then it's your fault. Why should it be?

Leave it! There's no point in saying those things now.

Do you guys think this carriage is lacking... some oxygen?

I think it's a bit of a squeeze for three of us in here.

How about one of you guys get off?

I am lowly, so I will leave.

But this journey has been exhausting, Third Princess will be tired from riding the carriage.

I know a massage method!

- You also know this? - This is nothing.

Why don't you get out and ride instead? I want a massage.

I can do it too! I'll do it for you.

I don't remember you knowing how to.

I can learn... What are you doing?

If he massages me first, then I'll know how to.

Han Shuo can you stop bullying Yingying?

Who is bullying him?

He's got this problem where he kneels for no reason. I reckon Pei Heng probably taught him this.

- Why are you bringing up Pei Heng out of nowhere? - Pei Heng. Pei Heng. Pei Heng!

Third Princess, don't get into an argument with Young Master Han because of me.

We aren't arguing. Right?

- That's right. We aren't arguing! - We aren't arguing.

Massage? I'll also massage you!

Why do men make it harder for men?

It feels so good!

This letter, was it written on Third Princess' wedding day?

If I remember correctly, your wish was to meet a soulmate.

I can't believe the ignorant Su Mu would promise you this, too.

Oh my God! Don't tell me you like him?

He's the headline act at the Academy. He's an entertainer!

He doesn't look down at me, so what right do I have to judge him?

As long as he is good to you and you like him, then he is the right one.

I beg the Heavens for our Lady to recover soon and that her wishes come true.

Be careful! This inn used to be flourishing.

Ever since the bandits from Mount Weimeng constantly came to harass the vendors,

it's been harder and harder to keep the business running.

Our inn is old and in poor condition.

There is a limit on the rooms that can be used.

How should it be arranged?

Prepare three of the best rooms for the Young Master and the two Ladies.

Three rooms?

Aren't the Young Master and Young City Master staying in the same room?

- Right. Then arrange for the Young City Master and me to... - You're rambling on!

Young Master has his reasons for such arrangements.

Oh I understand! I will prepare it right now. Right now!

Bai Ji.

- What exactly is my reason? - So-sor-sore.

Young Master, you have already pulled out the firewood from under the cauldron. (TN: taken drastic measures)

Although the Young City Master is important,

you should be focusing on Mount Weimeng's troops.

You want to take this chance to subdue Meng Guo to make him work for you,

then make him escort Xuanhu City's merchant groups.

Such a serious matter, I'm guessing you don't want the Young City Master to find out.

Of course, you have to sleep in separate rooms.

Young Master, am I correct?

That's correct!

I do have such a plan.

Young Master, you have long-term plans. You are wise!

Looking back with a smile,

a figure that is so slim and graceful.

Her eyes are bright and curved like a half-moon.

In the deep forest of the back mountain,

I'll wait for your arrival, my beauty lady.

Wielding a sword like a hero, with an awe-inspiring aura.

Spurring a horse with your whip, you look dominant!

In the deep forest of the back mountain, I'll wait for your arrival, Young Lord.

You two, give one letter to Chuchu

and give the other to Young Master Han.

Remember, you can't let anyone else know that I wrote this.

Understood!

Let the plot unraveled wildly!

Their love will be declared on Mount Weimeng!

A figure that is so slim and graceful.

He asked me to meet with him at the back mountain.

Why is Second Lady meeting you in the back mountain?

Wielding a sword like a hero.

Can it be...

She wants to...

Laugh!

Laugh louder!

This is the correct way to begin a romantic idol drama.

It's so pleasing to my eyes.

Second Lady.

You arranged to meet me...

is it for...

Second Lady, you can make the first move.

- First move? - Since you mentioned sword wielding,

I guess our fight at the Academy was not satisfying for you.

We can use this chance to compete again.

We will be facing the bandits soon so it does suit the occasion.

Fight? Is-Isn't this a date?

Academy? Compete?

So I was the one who misunderstood.

No, you weren't the one who misunderstood but Han Shuo who did.

Second Lady, please!

It's fine, it's fine! Even when fighting, lead characters can create a spark.

When competing, exchanging blows can lead to physical contact at least.

Afterwards, they'll develop feelings for each other.

I knew it!

Let's do it again!

It's over!

An idol drama is going to turn into a martial arts drama.

Can't you go a little easier on her? When you are dueling with a girl, do you need to be so vicious?

- Oh no! What do we do? - Ouch!

It was my oversight! Please punish me, Third Princess.

Who is it! Come out!

Oh, it's me!

It's me. Me!

Qianqian? You...

I... was just passing by... and incidentally...

accidentally, unintentionally... s-saw you and Second Sister dueling.

So I just quietly hid to watch you guys for a little while.

Young Master Han, you looked heroic and handsome.

Second Sister...

You've fought hard.

You both were really well matched...

in this battle.

You were equal in strength and on a par.

It was such a close duel. Bravo!

- A match made in heaven! - A match made in heaven! A talented man and a beautiful woman.

What do you mean an equal match!

I clearly won.

So Young Master Han asked me here

just to humiliate me.

No it's not like that! I didn't see... Seco—

When we battled, did I look as brave as a tiger?

- Yes. - Then I am assured.

Can't you tell I was offering you a way out?

Chuchu is a girl of noble birth but after what you did, she must be feeling so upset!

Since it's a battle, if I had been easy on her then that means I didn't respect her.

Then you're saying if I hadn't shown up and stopped you, you would have beaten her to death?

Since it is a match, it will stop when we determine the winner. No one will die.

Besides, she is your sister, I... I get it!

- You are blaming me for— - It's all my fault!

It's my fault for making you such a single-minded character.

Someone like you can say goodbye to being in an idol drama.

- Say goodbye to what...? - Young City Master!

Wait for me!

Young Master Han, in our Huayuan City there is a saying,

"Be as clean as ice and as pure as jade."

Chastity and self-respect are the best contents of a man's dowry.

From now on, please pay extra attention,

- remember your duty as a husband, and don't make the Third Princess mad. - I—

I—

Young Master, what did Su Ziying mean?

He could be saying,

Qianqian thought that I was on a date with the Second Lady.

It looks like that this was a good idea to bring her along.

She has... become jealous.

You also saw it.

What do you think of the relationship between Han Shuo and the Second Lady.

I think that Xuanhu City and Huayuan City have different customs.

Could it be that, you think Young Master Han is harboring ill intentions?

It's probably not ill intentions.

It's because he has never harbored the right intention from the get-go.

Normally, he should be getting closer to Chuchu.

I don't understand.

Can you help me think of a way

to push Han Shuo to Chuchu's side.

Third Princess, I was taught by Young Master Pei to be kind to people and behave properly.

I don't dare cause trouble.

You're still pretending in front of me?

It was because you were resourceful that I brought you here to suppress the bandits.

Just think of it as...

Just think of it as I got tired of Han Shuo.

I want you to think of a way to mess up our marriage.

How is that?

Since it's your order,

I'm willing to go through fire and boiling water to achieve it. (TN: Chinese phrase to accomplish something at all costs.)

It just... I am slow-witted.

As to how to achieve this, please instruct me.

When suppressing the bandits, perils are unavoidable.

I think two people's relationship should start with

trusting each other and relying on each other.

- They— - Don't worry, Third Princess! I got it now and I will do as you instructed.

He understood already? I still don't quite understand.

Something is happening!

Report!

Second Lady, while Young Master Han was leading the troops on patrol, he fall into the traps of the bandits.

Zi Zhu, you take some troops and back up Young Master Han.

I will go check out the situation and come right away.

Take care, my Lady!

Young Master, haven't you been ambushed?

What ambush? Where is the Second Lady?

Someone reported that you have been ambushed by the bandits whilst on patrol.

Second Lady send me to aid you. Where is the messenger?

I am afraid Meng Guo is trying to lure us away. I am afraid the Second Lady is in danger.

- Zi Zhu, lead the way! - Yes.

If Mother heard that on the way to suppress the bandits,

I fell into a trap and didn't complete the mission,

Mother will definitely scold me.

Young Master, could it be that Meng Guo came and captured her already?

Qianqian is very close to Second Lady; thus, she definitely would not want to see her in danger.

Let's find her first.

- Young Master Han, why are you here? - I am here to save you.

My Lady, did you hurt your leg?

Let me help you take care of it.

Second Lady, you're brave and strong.

If Qianqian was in your position, she would have been crying and screaming.

Young Master you are just trying to coax me, Third Sister is never afraid of pain.

Come!

- Sorry to trouble you, Young Master Han. - No problem! Don't mention it.

Your leg injury has just been taken care of, I'll carry you on my back.

Thanks a lot, Young Master.

Brother Zi Rui, I saw some stored grain in the kitchens of the inn.

I want to make porridge for Third Princess to eat in the morning.

But... I'm not good at cooking.

Okay, I'll go and take a look.

Third Princess, everything is in order.

Right now, Young Master Han should be with Second Lady enjoying a romantic night.

It happened this fast...?

Here!

When we were young, I took Qianqian hunting and this was her favorite wild fruit.

Does she still like to eat them now?

Who knows?

Her love for things never last long.

- Why did you save them? - I am going to bring them back for Qianiqan to eat.

She's not used to eating the simple rations in the army.

If I had known that Young Master Han is so brave and handsome as well being devoted,

I wouldn't have let Qianqian have you.

Why do you say so, Second Lady.

Back then, when you entered the city, Mother intended for us to get married.

It's because my sister took you by force on the street so that resulted in your marriage.

This is fate playing a trick on us.

If I were given another chance,

I wish that the one riding the horse on the street was me.

That I was also the one who stole you.

If you could turn back time, how would you choose, Young Master?

Although my meeting with Qianqian was an accident,

after some adversity, I have developed deep feelings for her.

If there was a second chance,

I would still choose the pure-hearted, upright, and kind Third Princess.

Based on Second Lady's talent, you will definitely have great achievements in the future.

I wish Second Lady endless happiness.

Just as I expected.

Everyone in the whole of Huayuan City knows you like Qianqian

but she appears to not know.

Qianqian, she...

she is pure-hearted and she does like me.

We can't light a fire when traveling in the army.

- Sorry to make you suffer. - Thank you, Young Master.

Although I am a Lady, people rarely treat me like this.

You must be kidding.

Qianqian has always been the favorite since she was little.

She's spoiled and stubborn but I need to pay attention to what others are thinking.

Mother doesn't treat me with the same love as how she treats Qianqian.

Qianqian doesn't care about anything but she takes everything.

I put my heart into everything

but it's always for nothing.

Young Master, tell me,

is this fate?

Second Lady, you are just having a hard time right now.

Don't think too much about it!

Second Lady can definitely see the day when your moment comes.

Everyone in the whole of Huayuan City knows you like Chen Qianqian

but she appears to not know.

Qianqian... she is pure-hearted.

and she does like me.

Qianqian... does she really not understand me?

They didn't come back for the whole night.

Does a date need to take this long?

Where did you put them?

- I made a trap. - A trap?

Who dug... You dug it?

- This... Wasn't this your idea, Third Princess? - My idea?

When suppressing bandits, traps are unavoidable.

When suppressing bandits, perils are unavoidable. (T/N: Homonym for traps)

Peril! Peril, you'll get pay deducted for these homonyms.

I misunderstood.

But you also said, two people's relationship

starts from trust and reliance on each other.

Even so you can't dig a hole for them and bury them.

Then what happens if Meng Guo passes by and fills up the hole.

Then what happens to them? They will... die?

I made a mistake, please punish me, Third Princess.

Punish what? Where did you bury them? Go save them!

Young City Master, Young City Master!

Look at what I prepared for you!

Porridge? What... Did you light a fire?

I... When I went to cook in the kitchen

this was already made... in the pot.

Did you light it?

The journey has been exhausting, I saw Third Princess only ate cold food without even have a warm meal.

So I wanted to make porridge to help warm up your body.

Whilst travelling in the army,

in order to avoid exposing our troops, lighting fires is forbidden!

Go and tell everyone, let's leave now! Right now!

What if Meng Guo gets here and Hanshuo and Chuchu aren't here...

No! I still have to take a set of troops and save them.

- What if Meng Guo finds them first... - Report!

Reporting to Young City Master, the bandits are charging over!

They are charging over?

Run! Run! Run!

Capture the Young City Master alive!

Seize Chen Qianqian!

Capture the Young City Master alive!

Seize Chen Qianqian!

Capture the Young City Master alive!

Seize Chen Qianqian!

- What should we do? - Third Princess, you should run!

I will cover for you! Hurry and go!

- I-I am... N-no I-I am not. - Third Princess, run quickly!

- Third Princess! - You! Shut up!

Third Princess!

Third Princess, please run! Third Princess!

Are you okay?

Quickly! Go help Chuchu!

What are you talking about? How can I leave you behind!

Don't worry about me! You finally had your chance with Chuchu in that trap all night.

- Go help her! - How did you know we were in a trap?

- Han Shuo are you okay? - Zi Rui,

- hide her! Quickly! - Does it hurt?

Does it hurt? Han Shuo!

Greetings, Young City Master.

This is the leader of the Mount Weimeng bandits, Meng Guo.

Mount Weimeng is situated at the border of Huayuan City and Xuanhu City.

It's a road that merchants must pass through.

Meng Guo has taken over this mountain to rob the passing merchants. They're truly suffering.

We have now captured him, how should we punish him?

Han Shuo hurry up and take him.

In the original script, Meng Guo was one of your best fighters in your army.

Since we have caught him, we should kill him.

Mother sent us here to take care of this.

H-How can we just kill him? That's really scary.

Then what do you think we should do, Young City Master?

I...

Young Master? Young Master... aren't you planning to take him?

That's fine! Then, let's keep him.

- Right now... - You can kill me but you can't humiliate me.

Unfortunately I lost.

Otherwise, I will take her to my mountain fortress and make her my wife.

It'll be very merry! Hurry, bring over my banner!

- Where is the banner? Banner? - What banner?

- Banner? - I am not sure.

Capture the Young City Master alive and seize Chen Qianqian.

Then kill him! Kill him!

Y-y-you don't want him anymore?

Think of the Mount Weimeng forces and the mine.

Don't give up on him!

This person has malicious intention towards you.

I-if you don't want him, I want him.

Meng Guo's has dishonorable intentions and he taken over this mountain to be a bandit.

Not only is he harming the citizens, but he also wants to seize you and make you his wife.

- You are dreaming— - I have an inspiration!

Meng Guo, this is a good name and I just remembered a classic story.

Have you heard of—

Who?

Ha-have you... heard o-of Zhuge Kongming?

- Who is this? - A military counselor.

- Should we ask him to come? - No need! All you need is me.

- R-r-release him! - Why?

- I am releasing you and you're asking me why? Are you waiting to die? - If you want to kill me, just do it.

I only took a small group of people today with me to gather military intelligence.

I found your military camp to be e-emp...

em-empty, so I made my surprise attack.

Such a pity! You can just kill me.

My brothers from Mount Weimeng will get revenge for me.

D-did you guys hear that?

If we kill him today, then Mount Weimeng will be without a leader.

I-it will be a bigger problem in the future and it'll be harder to manage.

I believe, based on Young Master Han and Second Sister's ability

capturing the bandits of Mount Weimeng is extremely easy.

The important thing is...

we have to make them change their

wrongful ways of seizing other people's private possessions.

Convince them to be o-of use to us.

Let him go! As long as Qianqian is fine.

Hurry up!

I can leave myself!

Move!

Third Sister, do you have confidence in what you are doing?

I do! There will be seven captures of Meng Guo.

Capture seven times and release seven times, he will definitely submit willingly.

I'm sorry... for distracting you.

It's all my fault for not coming back sooner.

Just then... you wanted to block the sword for me.

I saw it all.

It's okay.

Next time, no matter what, you can't do that again.

Also, there is something else we need to clear up.

Last night, Young Master Han and I were gone for the whole night.

Who was the one who revealed our location and lured Meng Guo over?

Cooked porridge?

Bring Su Ziying here.

I will punish him harshly!
