SHINING just for you (星河长明 , Novoland: The Princess From Plateau , Xing He Chang Ming , Jiu Zhou Zhu Yan Ji , 九州·朱颜记 , 九州·朱顏記)

Your Highness,

there will be a full moon tonight.

Your condition might act up again.

This is made from the herbal tea recipe given by Director Bai.

Drink it to soothe your mind.

Dismiss.

Yes, Your Highness.

I began to fear

the full moon when I was eight.

Look away

then.

You don't understand.

I was born

with the ability to sense the power of the moon.

It's a blessing

and

a curse.

I cannot easily escape

from the lethality of the moon.

Regardless of past history,

you are His Majesty's soul mate.

I'm sure he can protect you.

I once thought

that I could

keep His Majesty company if I was in the palace.

Another day with him

is another day worth living.

But now,

I'm within the comfort of the palace,

while he is so far away.

He is in danger,

but I cannot do anything.

Your Highness, if you make the request,

I'm sure His Majesty will let you join him.

Anyway,

any news from His Majesty?

Where is he now?

He got into danger and canceled the trip to Wanzhou and Yuezhou.

He is now in Guiyang.

He should be back in Tianqi soon.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Chu Ye is back.

Chu Ye is back.

Chu Ye is back?

Come down already.

Chu Ye.

Princess Lian.

How is everything?

Don't worry.

I never let you down,

do I?

Stop being cocky. Tell us everything.

How much food did you get?

Enough for the winter.

We won't starve!

Hooray!

Wonderful.

Thank you for your hard work, Chu Ye.

Let's unload the food.

Sure.

All the men, come carry the food with me.

Let's go.

Let's carry the food.

Amazing news.

Go now.

Lian.

Chu Ye is back?

He came back with food.

We can survive this winter.

Cheng Yuantao, help them out.

Yes, sir.

Come.

Lian.

It has rained a lot lately

and the path connecting Zhongzhou has collapsed.

You're running low on food too.

Will you have enough?

Carry it properly.

Hopefully yes.

Don't worry.

The Yuezhou Army has been helping us.

We will

share our food with you this time.

Your Highness,

come pick the pearls.

Okay.

More men, please.

Coming.

We need more men.

Come on.

I think this one is good.

Come.

Qingheng.

Have some soup to warm you up.

Is it delicious?

It is.

Qingheng.

Let's get married.

That way, we'll have a reason

to see His Majesty in Tianqi.

He will give us dowry and bride price.

We'll have enough money

to last until next year's autumn harvest.

But...

I understand your concern.

But you said yourself

that trading with the Heluo Clan for food could only be a temporary relief.

We might not have anything

to trade with them

next spring.

Qingheng.

Your clan knows that His Majesty has mandated your marriage.

You also see how well

the Yebei citizens get along

with the Yuezhou Army.

They won't oppose this.

Besides,

you're doing this for them.

I don't want to marry someone for them.

On behalf of my clan elders, my uncle has already told me

to marry you

to unite

Yebei people and the Yuezhou Army.

If it's for my clan,

I would have...

Then...?

I could give up my life

for my clan,

but I don't want to marry you

because of this.

Tell me.

Are you willing to marry me?

Even if I will die

for my clan at any moment?

I am.

Of course I am.

I knew you wouldn't say no.

I don't want to hear a no either.

His Majesty said

that there would be no assembly today.

Great Steward Fan shall handle all affairs in his stead.

What...

How many days has it been?

His Majesty hasn't attended any court assembly since his return.

His Majesty works hand in hand with Official Fan.

I'm sure the Great Steward

has taken a lot of burden off His Majesty.

I heard His Majesty ran into assassins

while was in Minzhong Mountain.

That assassin pushed Director Bai into a bottomless abyss,

but His Majesty rescued her.

A bottomless abyss, you hear?

But His Majesty came out unscathed.

Heaven must have blessed him.

Indeed.

Indeed.

Official Duanmu.

Yes, Great Steward?

Director Bai has been absent too.

Did His Majesty give her a special assignment?

I have no idea. Since her return from the tour,

she hasn't signed the attendance.

But Director Bai has earned His Majesty's favor,

so it is no surprise that she was given a special order.

Tabai?

Tabai is a kind of bird. Once trained,

it will lure

its kins for its master.

Therefore, secret spies in other clans

trained by the Winged People

are called Tabai.

I did not know of this story.

Your task

is to lure out the remainder of the Winged Clan,

especially Yu Linkong.

Although you are Winged People,

you are nonetheless a Chao citizen.

The peace of Ningzhou

depends on you.

Duly noted, Your Majesty.

Thank you for your help, Gu.

It's been a while.

Have you missed me?

What do you look like now?

Show me.

Hurry up.

Bai Lu, stop hitting me.

As annoying as always.

I hope he didn't give you too much trouble.

All is well.

Yun Wen and I talked a lot.

Once he obtains a form,
