=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 21)

One hundred and eighty-seven.

One hundred and eighty-eight.

One hundred and eighty-nine.

Why are you still awake?

Be quiet.

I am preparing to go to sleep.

You have been preparing for six hours.

Why haven't you fallen asleep?

Today I should dry the peach blossoms in the sun.

I forgot it.

Don't mind.

I will send Li Chaohai to do it.

Yesterday, I asked the imperial kitchen to serve you with new fruit.

They haven't done it.

I will go urge them.

Zhong Li.

Go to the imperial kitchen to urge them.

Yes, Your Highness.

The folding screen of the Qinzheng Hall must be put upright.

Li Chaohai, go put the folding screen upright.

Yes.

Also, the treasured bottles and articles of the Dongnuan Pavilion

need cleaning.

Hongxiu, go clean the bottles.

Besides,

it has been quite a few days since I walked my rabbit last time.

I will walk it for you.

I can't fall asleep.

Don't mind me.

Sleep however you want.

Your Highness.

Come in.

What's the matter?

Two cities in the northern borderlands have fallen.

Rong City has reported an emergency.

Is there no general

who can fight the enemy

in the northern borderlands?

Perhaps Wen Buqing who guards the southern passes can.

Should we summon him back to the court?

Leave the southern passes for the northern borderlands?

The northern borderlands are naturally rugged.

The cavalry troops there are fierce.

We can only try to gain the upper hand via unusual tactical formations.

No general is more suitable

than Prince Jin for this task.

No wonder. That makes sense.

I need time to think.

You are dismissed.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You shouldn't have refused to follow Prince Yu's order.

If the Princess Consort hadn't backed you up wisely,

you'd have completely lost your popularity among the people.

That tree

was where I first met her.

Prince Yu even took that away.

Don't be infatuated with love,

or you won't create a great cause.

Your Highness,

love is the biggest hindrance to your cause.

Please ponder more

and think it over.

I'm willing

to give up my cause for her.

I have wasted 26 years of life.

To safeguard the late Sovereign Prince's territory,

I spared no effort.

To keep Prince Yu's peace,

I swallowed humiliation and bore heavy burdens.

Why do I have to suffer

all the wrongs in this world?

I'm tired.

I only wish to marry her.

You all think I'm tolerant

and my mind has enough room for the sky, dawn,

the sun, the army,

the expansive territory,

and the people.

Only I know

that my mind is so small

that it only has room for one thing.

When I'm awake, she occupies my mind.

When I'm dreaming, she occupies my mind.

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

What did you dream about?

Your Highness, I...

Is your dream no longer accurate?

No. Your Highness.

I just had a night without dreams.

It's not a big deal.

I will sleep a few more times today.

Oh, you.

Your Highness, have some tea.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

The borderland troops have reported an emergency.

Several lords have petitioned in the Qinzheng Hall,

asking you to take action.

Take action?

The political situation is so intense.

If only I could help him.

Your Highness,

we've lost cities in the northern borderlands. People are panicking.

Xie Fengcai,

Su Linyan, Wei Yong,

I have sent generals

to the northern borderlands for three times.

Though the generals can't defeat the enemy,

they have stood their ground.

You think

this isn't enough to relieve the people?

Snow covers the northern borderlands that are easy to defend but hard to seize.

Only Prince Jin has the ability to fight the enemy.

Prince Jin refuses to head north for battle.

Do you want me to drag him to the battlefield?

There has been much discussion at the court,

pointing out the fact that the lost testament

has disheartened Prince Jin.

It's why Prince Jin has fallen ill

and refused to head north for battle.

Oh...

You speak the mind

of the officials.

Zhong Li.

The officials want me to take action.

And I'm fulfilling their wish today.

You,

go to Prince Jin's Mansion on behalf of me

and beseech Prince Jin to go to battle.

Yes, Your Highness.

Are you satisfied

with my action?

You are wise, Your Highness.

How come I didn't dream this time?

If I had a precognitive dream,

maybe I would be able to help Prince Yu.

Your Highness,

the look on your face

is like the Qizixiang I gave you.

They are both bad.

Can you give me another crescent moon today?

Moon?

Your Highness,

the sky hasn't darkened yet.

We can't see the moon.

Is something bothering you?

Just a trivial matter.

It must be related to the northern borderlands.

Feel free to tell me.

Maybe I can come up with ideas to help you.

The enemy troops in the northern borderlands have seized seven cities

and captured over 400,000 people.

Prince Jin, defender of the northern borderlands, has refused to battle.

Can you solve my problem?

Maybe I can persuade my little master.

Forget it.

This is one way to ease my worries.

There will be a solution.

Your Highness, I...

If you are going to persuade me,

save it.

I don't want to hear it.

I just think

since you already lost

your tally for Jinyan,

you don't have to stay cautious.

Perhaps you can

achieve results by making a splash.

Making a splash?

Your Highness,

I have never married,

but I have seen my brothers' loved ones.

Girls prefer

feelings to be shown.

You've always been reserved.

Jinyan is not sensitive to romance.

Hence many misunderstandings took place.

I suggest

that you might as well

display your feelings.

It may not bring Jinyan back to you,

but it will put some distance

between her and Prince Yu at least.

You are right.

I should let the world

know my feelings for Jin'er.

Shanhai,

enter the mansion tomorrow morning

with the prince's token.

I'd like to see

how much Prince Yu wants a commander

for his troops in the northern borderlands.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

The testament.

The testament.

What about the testament?

I dreamed about the testament.

It was at the bottom of the well in the forbidden place.

Someone put yellow silk on the wall of the well.

It must be the testament.

Send people to check it out.

Wait.

I checked it that day.

Nothing was there.

The testament?

The bottom of the well?

When you left the bottom of the well...

How can you be here?

This is Yihua Pavilion.

I...

Why can't I be here?

I couldn't sleep.

So I went out looking for someone to talk to.

I didn't know you'd be so heartless

that you had fallen asleep.

I...

You just said

there was yellow silk at the bottom of the well.

Yes.

Good.

This trip isn't a waste of time.

Moreover,

I believe you.

Your dream

can come true.

What?

Why did you come to me?

Just know

you've solved my problem again.

How?

That's none of your business.

But credit goes to you.

You are allowed to sleep late tomorrow.

If it's none of my business,

then you shouldn't have come to me.

Stop coming to Yihua Pavilion.

Go. Go. Go.

The ground is cold.

Stop fooling around.

I have orders to give.

Go back to sleep.

I will come and talk to you tomorrow.

I don't want you to come.

Stop coming here.

Just wait here.

Who came here early in the morning?

So these gifts are what he told me to wait for yesterday.

Where is Prince Yu?

Miss Jinyan.

Miss Jinyan.

Prince Jin ordered me to bring you gifts.

It's you.

How can my little master

send things to the Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion blatantly?

He did it for you.

Come on.

No.

I can't take his gifts.

Take the gifts back.

Miss Jinyan,

Prince Jin disobeyed orders for you repeatedly.

Now he is sulking

and pitting against Prince Yu.

It's awful.

If you insist on rejecting Prince Jin,

he might never

follow Prince Yu's order

and go to battle as the commander.

Oh...

Prince Jin saw General Wen as his role model when he was young.

You know that, Miss Jinyan.

Well...

Alright.

Come on.

Your Highness.

How can you let Prince Jin run wild in the mansion?

I need him for the northern borderlands.

But you are the Sovereign Prince.

As I hold this position, I should do my job.

I take responsibility for my people.

For now, I can only

placate Prince Jin.

Besides,

they are childhood friends.

Jinyan didn't refuse to accept his gifts.

I have no right to stop her.

Let's put aside the romantic rivalry.

Have you got

the catalyst for Prince Jin?

I have put it in.

And I have spread the word.

Now we only need him to take the bait.

Alright.

My son Xiao Yu

is noble

and resembles me.

He will inherit the throne.

Now I appoint him as the heir

to the throne of the Sovereign Prince.

He will wear a men's mourning dress for 27 days,

so everyone will know about it.

How did it go?

Your Highness,

the fake testament has been taken.

I wonder

how Prince Jin will react

to the testament that he longed for.

(Qinzheng Hall)

Just eat, if that's your wish.

Your Highness,

I think I know how you solved your problem.

You resorted to trickery

and sent Guard Zhong to the forbidden place

intentionally...

There is no trickery.

All is fair in war.

Sure.

It's an excellent military strategy.

Your Highness,

you possess an elegant demeanor

and a handsome face.

Your plans are clever without flaws.

You are unmatched in this world.

I haven't asked you

why you accepted the gifts.

And you dared to question me.

Your Highness.

You saw it.

This is my apology.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have accepted the gifts.

This is made with the flowers on that tree?

Nice.

Sweet, mellow and delicious.

Get me a few jugs of this.

No.

I only have fermentation starters for now.

I haven't made more.

Fine.

I won't bother to argue with you.

I don't need your wine anyway.

I'm busy working.

Go outside.

What's the use of Yanhua Pavilion?

It has so many books,

but you are still uncultured.

Nobody can make wine such quickly.

It took me a lot of efforts to make that small jug of wine.

It's okay if you didn't appreciate my kindness.

But you shouldn't have scowled at me.

I should have given you two bottles of Pure Dew,

so you could get dead drunk.

You even told me to leave you alone.

You might as well tell me to leave the mansion,

leave the city

and leave the nation?

I'd better never come back.

Miss Jinyan,

His Highness summons you to have dinner.

I'm not going.

The sight of him will spoil my appetite.

That's not an appropriate remark, Miss.

Please tell Prince Yu

I'm taking a bath leave today.

Taking a bath leave?

♪Starry flowers are blooming while it is drizzling.♪

♪Nine stars are linked in the Milky Way that is flowing.♪

♪The pool of candlelight♪

♪I whisper in my dream.♪

I simply criticized her once.

Now she is mad?

Where is she?

She went to the bathroom.

Fine.

Tell the private kitchen

to keep the dinner warm.

I'll wait for her return and have dinner then.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Servants.

Help me bathe and change my clothes.

Your Highness.

This is my bathroom.

Noisy.

Let me go.

If you don't let me go now, I will bite you.

Are your lips only good for biting?

♪Into your eyes, I gazed.♪

Who said you could accept Prince Jin's gifts?

What?

What are you talking about?

Your Highness.

You are drunk.

From now on,

you are not allowed to accept Prince Jin's gifts.

Do you hear me?

Okay. Okay.

I will do as you say.

Get out now.

You will do

whatever I say?

Yes, I will.

I will do as you say.

Alright.

Then say

you fancy me,

you want to marry me,

you want to be with me every day and night,

you want to make wine for me in the daytime

and warm my bed in the evening,

and you want to bear

three white and plump...

What are you talking about?

I'm not your consort.

Your Highness, please get out.

This is inappropriate.

You just said you'd do as I said.

Now you aren't saying what I want you to say.

If you don't say the words,

I won't leave.

Say the words.

Okay.

I... I...

I... I fancy you.

And

you want to marry me.

I... I want to marry you.

And

you want to bear three

white and plump rabbits for me.

I'm not bearing your children.

Wait.

Rabbits?

Rabbits...

Your Highness.

Come here.

Rabbits...

Little master.

Why are you here?

You should leave the mansion at this hour in the evening.

Jin'er.

I'm agonizing.

I have things to tell you.

Have you got time?

Let's sit down and talk.

This must be the tree that we saw in childhood.

Prince Yu got it from Lord Guo brazenly.

I remember

that you started calling me "little master"

to thank me for half of the flowers on this tree.

Now, how are you going

to thank Prince Yu for all the flowers on this tree?

The whole land belongs to Prince Yu.

My gratitude doesn't mean a thing.

But if I were a man,

I'd fight the enemy for him.

I'd pacify the northern borderlands

to solve his problem.

Do you know the battlefield is perilous?

There are weapons and armored horses on the battlefield.

You could lose your life anytime.

Would you really do that

for him?

If not for Prince Yu,

I'd do that for 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the northern borderlands.

My life

is not worth mentioning.

You must be looking down

on me right now.

I know you have your own reason.

I don't believe anything

you said at the court that day.

Then what kind of person

do you see me as?

I see my little master

as a true hero who guarded

the northern borderlands for many years,

rode around the world, and fought on the battlefield.

Jin'er,

you know what,

my father used to like me.

I guarded the borderlands for many years

and risked my life numerous times.

Every time I stood on the brink of death,

I told myself

that my father and you were in Jin City,

waiting for my return.
