"The Twin Flower Legend"

Episode 27

It's so beautiful.

The one at Donggui Pavilion...

is probably crying in a pile of trash.

Does she think she's able to compete with me given her background?

She wants to put on the same kind of brocade as me?

How absurd.

I'll make a good meal today.

Here I come! Xi Yan, don't cry.

Stop pulling it! It's mine!

Since we have the sowing cart, all the seeds can be sown immediately.

That's right. It took days for us to finish it back then.

The sowing cart is really useful.

But all of them look the same.

Will the villagers take the wrong ones?

That's easy. Just engrave your name on it.

But we can't read.

-That's right. -That's right.

That's even easier.

Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to read.

Read?

-Read? -But don't be late.

-We won't! -We won't!

Mu Jin.

Who are you?

Sorry, I got the wrong person.

Jin Xiu, why didn't you put on the outfit...

that I asked them to make for you?

What's going on?

-Your Royal Highness. -Chu Yi.

Speak up.

The clothes from the Bureau of Garment are all worn out.

Madam was so upset and cried because of that.

You're dismissed.

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

Your Royal Highness has a lot on your plate already.

It's just a small matter of jealousy and infighting.

Don't worry.

I told you.

If you feel hard done by,

you can tell me about it.

I'm afraid...

that someday...

I might be ruined just like this brocade.

To some people,

Your Royal Highness's favour...

is my greatest sin.

Jin Xiu.

No one...

can demean you.

There's no reason for you to make concessions.

I'll do you justice...

for every little thing.

Does it make you feel better?

Your Royal Highness.

You're the one who treats me best...

in this world.

I'm back!

There's food to eat? That's a lot.

Do you smell something?

The food fragrance.

No, it's not.

Did you cook mutton?

No.

What's that foul odour?

-It's your daughter. -Did she pee her pants?

A never-ending flow.

Did you change it for her?

A young master like you who leads a pampered life can do that too?

What did you say?

She didn't just pee.

Even her poop got on my hands.

What happened to your hands?

Nothing.

Show me.

-I said it's nothing. -Show me!

Let's eat.

Is it too salty?

I know. That's because I sprinkled a lot of salt in it.

But I rinsed it with water twice.

I think...

it must be the person who sold the salt to you.

He sold you fake salt.

That's right.

He doesn't seem like an honest person.

It's fine. Let's drink the soup.

Did you scrape the scales?

Do I have to do that?

Wouldn't it melt on its own...

after dumping it into the broth?

It's fine. Let's eat up.

What now?

Is something wrong with the rice too?

Did Jun Cui Hua give you this pot?

Yes, she gave it to me this morning.

That makes sense.

This means there's a problem with the pot that she gave you.

That's why the rice isn't cooked.

That wench!

It's fine.

Just add more water when we cook the rice next time.

It will be cooked then.

-I see. Got it. -Thanks for the hard work.

I'm tired. I'll go and get some rest.

Mu Jin.

Let's not sleep here tonight.

You can sleep in the room. It's more comfortable inside.

That's not a good idea.

It's fine.

Right, lately, Xi Yan will only sleep if I'm in her sight.

Go inside and get some rest.

Do housework and cooking.

Take it easy. Keep it up!

Mu Jin.

I won't allow Duan Yuet Rong to take advantage of you.

I must get you out.

But when I see you...

how should I face you?

They'll make me kill you.

This is from my mother.

It came in a pair.

I don't care where the other one is.

But at least, this one...

is the witness of our fate.

I hope you'll wear it.

Who let you in? Get out!

Your guards have been taken down by Feng Ding.

I'm warning you. Don't do anything stupid.

Don't come near me!

Don't come near me!

His Royal Highness said...

I don't have to make concessions.

He'll do me justice.

From now on...

I won't let anyone give me a hard time anymore.

No one can give me a hard time anymore.

At this moment,

shouldn't he be in the West Battalion?

General Meng, we've searched the immediate vicinity.

There's no news of His Highness.

- Let's check up there. -Yes, come on.

How long has it been since I visited the brothel?

I couldn't myself from thinking about it.

When we get back,

I'll reward each of you 12 taels.

-Yes. -Yes.

General Meng, what's going on?

Hu Yong has found this place.

But I hope His Highness isn't nearby.

Wench!

We've made a deal,

to lure Duan Yuet Rong into the trap.

If it weren't for you...

do I have to travel around now?

Who says I don't want to kill him?

He's just one step ahead of me...

and pushed me down the cliff.

Are you saying...

that Duan Yuet Rong pushed you down the cliff?

Hua Mu Jin.

It's all because of her!

I've told you before.

That little brat isn't being sincere to you.

That's why...

I want Duan Yuet Rong to see it with his own eyes...

how that woman is going to die at my hands.

Then, I'll kill him myself...

to return his favour for pushing me down the cliff.

I hope...

General Hu will help me out.

Meng Rong.

Are you sure the Earth's Heart that we've been looking for...

is hidden in the Wu You City of Gong Yue?

Yes.

We failed to get Zi Yuan's treasure.

But if I could get the Earth's Heart,

that would be great too.

Besides, I have found out...

that Ms. Bi Ying is in Gong Yue as well.

I heard that she's now the crown princess.

If we can make use of the power of the royal family of Gong Yue,

getting the Earth's Heart is the least of our worry.

Master.

I've put everything in order.

We can set out to Gong Yue at any time...

to track down the Earth's Heart.

Greetings, Aunt.

May I know the reason for asking me here?

What's the matter?

Now that you've gained favour with Yuan Qing Jiang,

we can't meet up now?

I seek your understanding.

My position in Zi Yuan is different now.

My every move is being watched.

One careless move and the whole plan is ruined.

I'll be away from Xi Du for a while for an important task.

You're leaving?

For how long?

I can't tell for sure.

It might take a few months,

or even a year or two.

In the past year,

Brother Ming Lei has been promoted at a fast rate.

Perhaps, someone or some forces have been secretly helping him.

Feng Ding.

I'll leave it to you to run a secret investigation on Brother Ming Lei.

Yes.

This is the moon.

The character "moon" is very similar to this moon.

It's curved.

Add two horizontal strokes in the middle.

That becomes the character "moon".

The character "moon".

I'm done.

Cui Hua, nice work.

Next, I'll teach you another character.

It's "day", one of the characters that form the word "sun".

Try to imagine this.

The only ray of light in the sky...

shines all over the place.

This is the sun.

Add one horizontal stroke.

This is the character "day".

-Not bad. -Thank you, sir.

Xiao Yu, not bad.

-Thank you, sir. -You too.

Here. Let me teach you.

Surround it like this.

-Thank you, sir. -Look at the one I wrote.

Is it correct?

Well done to you.

Yours is pretty good.

Thank you, sir.

-What about me? -You did well too.

Awesome.

That's all for today. You can go home.

Remember to revise. All right?

-Got it. -Got it.

-Thank you, sir. -Thank you, sir.

-Thank you, sir. -Be sure to practice at home.

-Goodbye, sir. -Goodbye, sir.

Sir, I can write a thing or two now.

Can you teach me how to write "daytime" and "night"?

Just add one vertical stroke on top of the character "day",

you'll get the word "white".

Each poem that I've written...

at Dong Du Poetry Festival was for you.

Do you like it?

What's wrong with the word "white"?

It's nothing.

What's the matter with you?

I'm tired.

Why would you be tired?

You don't even wear your undergarment.

I'm at home.

What's wrong if I'm not wearing it?

What if someone came?

Who would come? It's just the three of us.

Also, I've been cooking all day, and I have to take care of the baby!

It's tough and tiring, okay?

It's just cooking and babysitting!

Where's the baby?

I put her inside.

How could you leave the child inside?

There's oily fumes or cooking odour when I cook! What else could it be?

It's not like she can walk.

What if she falls down?

She's...

I'll don't want to argue with you! Where's the food?

-There's food. -Where?

Are you blind?

What is this?

Braised snow pear.

I sprinkled some camellia petals on it.

It's very fragrant and full of fantasy.

There's also sugar-cured fish gills and soy sauce tangerines.

I've worked really hard to prepare these.

I finally know why you didn't use to like my cooking.

That's because I used the traditional method of cooking.

It shackles my innovative talent.

Here, take a bite. Come on. Be good

Open your mouth.

How is it? Is it delicious?

Did you taste it yourself?

No, I wanted to eat with you when you're back.

My student gave me a chicken.

Why don't tonight...

There's chicken! Let's add that to our meal tonight!

Go and get the bucket.

What for?

Slaughter the chicken. Get the blood.

Why?

To make blood curd.

Why are we making it?

It's delicious!

I didn't expect you to know so much.

This is a small matter.

I'm not as good in literature as compared to Ming Lei,

or as skilful as Fei Yuan or my sister.

My needlework isn't as good as Bi Ying.

There's nothing to brag about.

It's good that you know.

If you asked me if there are things that I don't know,

I'd be more interested.

Why are you looking at me?

Why are you looking at me then?

Go and get the bucket.

What for?

To collect the blood.

Right.

Hold on!

What's wrong?

Clean this up first.

You asked me to get the bucket and to clean up the place.

What exactly do I have to do at the same time?

Clean this up first and get the basin.

No, get the bucket first and clean this up later.

Have you made up your mind?

Are you going or not?

If not, I'll beat you up!

-Must you resort to violence? -Hurry!

-Go now, you wench! -I'm going now!

Why didn't you defend yourself?

I'm willing to accept the punishment.

I know you've suffered a lot because of her.

But you can't humiliate her like this.

That's inappropriate.

Your Royal Highness, I think...

the army has military discipline.

The same should apply to the harem.

Madam Lian is arrogant.

She could ruin the clothes that Your Royal Highness gave me.

In the future, she'll do more things beyond her authority.

What if it put a spoke in Your Royal Highness's wheel?

The biter is sometimes bitten.

I'm willing to be the bad person to help set the rules.

Didn't you say you were wrong?

I'm being utterly sincere.

If you don't believe me,

I'll kneel down at the ancestral hall and ponder over my mistake.

You're just so stubborn.

Get up.

All of you are dismissed.

No more next time.

After all, she's older than you.

Let bygones be bygones.

As long as she doesn't offend me,

I won't mess with her.

Just now, you mentioned...

about setting rules for the harem.

Right now, our family is making preparations for battle.

Everything requires money.

Get someone to work out Zi Yuan's expenses.

Cut down expenses as much as you can.

I'll do my best to ease Your Royal Highness's burden.

Do you think...

I'm not going to punish you?

If my husband wants to punish me, I'll have to bear with it.

It's my fault.

-I'll apologise to you. -You...

Hurry up and redo it.

Stop what you're doing. Who's in charge here?

Ask him to come out. Madam Jin has an order for him.

Yes.

Ms. Chu Yi, what's the order?

Right now, Madam Jin is in charge of managing Zi Yuan's budget.

We need to cut down expenses in all aspects.

Madam Jin asked me to inform the kitchen.

From today onwards, no more luxurious food.

Cut down all extraneous and unnecessary expenses.

-There's no exception for anyone. -Understood.

That's too much!

Madam.

The craftsmen have halted the production...

of the jewellery that you requested.

Madam Jin ordered to cut down expenses,

and no orders for new jewellery in the coming months.

-Get out! -Yes.

This wench!

-Xiao Yu! -The winner is Jun Xiao Yu!

Congratulations, Xiao Yu.

Are you ready?

-Cui Hua, hurry. -Three, two, one!

It's the word "many".

Xiao Yu won!

Congratulations, Xiao Yu!

This is the last question.

Three, two, one.

Me!

-Cui Hua! -Cui Hua!

It's the word "left"!

No, it's the word "where"!

Xiao Yu won!

-Why did you get none of it right? -Congrats, Xiao Yu!

Why Cui Hua doesn't seem to know anything?

That's all for today.

Be happy if you have won. Don't be discouraged even if you fail.

-Class dismissed. -Thank you, sir.

You didn't win, not even once.

Cui Hua.

It's all right.

You were just too careless.

Look.

It's for you.

Take it.

Go away!

Calm down. I'll get you some fruits.

What's the matter?

I worked really hard, but I still failed.

I'm so useless.

Some people are good at this and some aren't.

Don't be discouraged.

I'm just not good at it.

I'm the chief's daughter.

All of them spoil me and flatter me.

But I'm not good at these things.

I'm just a loser.

What a nice handkerchief.

Did you make it?

This is nothing.

All girls in Jun Village know how to make it.

Ms. Cui Hua, that's a real talent.

Madam.

Madam.

Someone from the kitchen sent this bird's nest soup,

especially for you.

Try it and see if it's to your liking.

Now, the whole Zi Yuan knows...

you're the real noble lady of Zi Yuan.

Is this the one that Madam Lian used to take every day?

It's nothing.

Everyone pursues wealth.

It feels pretty good to be standing up high.

Isn't Madam Lian handling Zi Yuan's expenses?

If this thing goes south,

-Chu Yi. -Yes.

Convey my order.

From today onwards,

I don't want anyone to be sending me the bird's nest soup.

We need to cut down expenses.

I should set an example.

Yes.

An embroidery workshop?

That's right.

Sell your embroidered items in the town.

I can't guarantee you much.

But you can make enough to buy cosmetics and accessories.

Cui Hua, you'll take the lead.

No problem.

Madam Chao Zhu.

Join us.

-Make a living to have a better life. -That's right. Join us.

My wife isn't good at this.

Such skilled work isn't for her.

I plan to go...

to the embroidery workshop tomorrow.

It's the woman's job.

I'm a Crown Prince.

Yet, I'm driven up the wall by Hu Yong.

We ended up being trapped here and you have to suffer for that.

That is bad enough for me.

You have to go out there to teach and make a living.

How can I just sit by and do nothing?

I'm willing to do anything,

let alone embroidery.

But embroidery is very difficult.

Are you sure you can do it?

From now on,

the expenses for you and Xi Yan...

-will all be on me. -Sure.

Very good.

Not bad. That will do.

Insert it through here.

Not bad.

Not bad.

That's right.

It's still a new style.

Xiao Yu!

Look.

Hey, have you learned it before?

I realised embroidery is pretty fun too.

-I'm home. -You're back.

You came back just in time.

-The food is just ready. -Really?

Yes, take a seat.

It's hot.

Here, try it out.

How does it taste?

How is it?

My wife is getting better.

Here, we have this too.

But I only made this much.

It's a shame.

I couldn't make you a proper meal.

It's fine.

As the saying goes, having a simple diet,

makes people forget the trouble in life.

Such a life is utter bliss.

I couldn't thank you enough for that.

Eat up. Wait for me.

I'm going to get something.

But...

will I be content with the way things are now?

I wonder how's Jin Xiu doing now.

How's Brother Fei Yuan and Brother Ming Lei?

And...

him.

Hey.

There's a monthly fair in town tomorrow.

Why don't I take you to town to have some good food?

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

What is this?

I embroidered it today.

If you like it,

you can have it.

This pair of ducks looks really nice.

It's a pair of mandarin ducks.

A pair of mandarin ducks.

I think the soup is ready.

I'll get it for you.

Mu Jin.

Even if I have to go the ends of the earth,

I'm going to find you.

It's the monthly fair tomorrow. Let's go together.

Everyone goes there. We have to squeeze through the crowd.

Jeez.

If Mu Jin is here,

given her free spirit personality,

perhaps, she might go to the fair in the town.

I know the locations of your old den and stronghold.

The one who has the bargaining chip isn't you.

It's me.

Young Master.

I dare not lie to you.

The master heard about Gong Yue's treasure.

She's gone to Gong Yue to search for the treasure.

All right. You're dismissed.

-Young Master. -Wang Hu

You heard us, right?

Go to Gong Yue and find out news about Bi Ying and Ming Feng Qing.

Quickly report back to me.

Yes.

Fei Qing.

I designed this ambush based on,

the characteristics of West Battalion soldiers.

Three hundred cavalry.

Our soldiers will have the iron armour to protect themselves,

and fight one against ten to break through enemy lines.

They're followed by 2,000 elite soldiers,

and 10 chariots.

There'll be 300 archers on the chariots.

With a broad view, they can release arrows accurately.

Use this layout to mobilise troops.

You have such remarkable talent.

Indeed a man of high aspirations.

Thank you for your compliment.

The best way to use troop is to win by strategy.

The second is through diplomacy.

The last option is to besiege a town.

Siege is a last resort, one when there's no way out.

It was my sister, Mu Jin, who taught me these.

It's a shame.

A female version of Zhuge like Mu Jin...

is gone.

Hua Mu Jin?

-Isn't she... -Fei Qing.

My dear.

You have had a long discussion.

It's time to take a break.

Mu Jin, you love to go where the crowds are.

You'll surely come to the fair, right?

Don't cry.

Mr. Mo Wen, we've been waiting for you!

What is it?

No way!

No way!

I can't handle her.

We're not going to the fair.

Just go ahead.

We agreed to go together.

How are we to go when she's crying so badly?

You go with them.

Leave Xi Yan with me. Come on.

Just go with Cui Hua and the others.

-Go on! -What's the matter?

You need your man to follow you to the fair?

That's right.

-No, this is... -Just go.

I'm coming!

Does Guang Qian think that Hua Mu Jin is dead?

That's weird.

Isn't Hua Mu Jin Fei Bai's concubine?

Hua Mu Jin...

is the woman that Guang Qian loves most.

I don't know why...

he would think that Hua Mu Jin is dead.

Father forbids everyone in Zi Yuan from mentioning about her.

In order to go along with it,

I shed a few drops of tears...

with Guang Qian for this woman.

You know that Guang Qian loves her?

Why do you seem so calm?

So what if he loves her?

Right now,

he's my husband.

When I have a child in the future...

I'll be the mother of his child.

I'm his wife.

The one who will spend a lifetime with him...

is me.

As compared to these...

those unreal obsessions...

are nothing.

Fei Yan.

You've done so much for him.

He's mine.

No one can take him away from me.

But right now...

I'm more worried...

about Hua Jin Xiu.

Isn't she Guang Qian's fifth sister?

Hua Jin Xiu has won our father's favour.

She's not the same person that she was.

I'm afraid she's still holding grudges.

Come to think of it,

I was at fault too.

I know our father really dotes on her.

If we can get along with her,

it will be good for you and Guang Qian.

If that's the case...

I should think of a way...

to patch things up with Jin Xiu.

This is the account book that Madam Lian manages,

which records the distribution of salary in Zi Yuan.

-I find a way to get the account... -With you in charge,

I'm not worried at all.

-You're dismissed. -Yes.

I knew there's something is up with her.

Lian.

Let's see how you're going to explain this.

We'll fetch a good price for this.

Then...

Can't you walk properly?

Look at yourself. Not feminine at all.

No wonder you're still not married.

Who did you say can't get married?

Who did you say can't get married?

I'll kill you!

-I'll kill you! -Cui Hua!

No!

Stop fighting!

Come back here!

The Lord of Treading on the Snow.

Why are you here?

I didn't get to take a good look at you then.

Now that I've taken a close look...

Actually...

there's really nothing about you.

How would you have the cheek to call yourself...

the Lord of Treading on the Snow?

Where did you hide Mu Jin?

Watch your mouth.

Mu Jin and I are a married couple.

-How would I possibly hide her? -You're lying!

She's my wife.

Haven't you heard of Madam Hua Xi?

Madam Hua Xi?

Who is Madam Hua Xi?

All I know is that you haven't met for over a year now.

Time and distance will change a lot of things.
