Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 35

Chancellor Ma, this way please.

Greetings. Your Highness.

How come Chancellor Ma is leaving when you've just arrive?

Can't do anything about it. His Majesty has called for me.

I still must enter the palace to discuss things with him, so I won't stay long anymore.

Chancellor Ma, take care.

Prince Regent.

Chancellor Ma, you still need anything?

Your Highness.

Leave us first.

Chancellor Ma, please say it.

Xueyun isn't like this before. Honestly,

I am a bit confused by my daughter already.

Chancellor Ma, Xueyun is just sick. She might be in a bad mood.

Once she has recovered, I will personally take her to see you.

Okay already. There are some things that even if you don't say,

I also know.

For Xueyun to dare do so many inappropriate acts

is also my fault.

I've spoiled her too much.

I didn't temper her disposition.

Whenever she encounters a problem, she's unable to control herself.

If not because she has married into this house, I would take her away now.

It's better than continuing to trouble others.

But regardless of her mistakes,

she is still my only daughter.

May I ask you to endure her and pardon her a little

just for my sake,

regardless of what she would do or say.

Chancellor Ma, don't worry. There are words that you shouldn't say anymore. I understand them.

Let's go.

Your Highness, is it about Concubine Ma again?

Concubine Ma's moods recently has been very irritable. She had one maidservant flogged to death for no reason at all.

Her family even caused quite a scene. Butler Zhao had to exert a lot of effort to suppress it.

But for the past 2 days, she has quiet down.

She's just hides inside her courtyard.

When she sees other people, she would talk in a weird manner. It's as if she is now a totally different person.

The servants are all gossiping

that she has encountered a ghost and lost her mind because of it.

Bixi, leave first.

I'll just talk with Xueyun for a little while. No need for you to serve us.

Yes.

Xueyun, what really are you thinking?

I'm thinking that flowers and tress are the same.

They need people to take good care of them for them to blossom beautifully.

For people like Your Highness who will just let them live and die by themselves,

as if you've abandoned them,

they will then become like this now.

Xueyun, I'm unable to do what you request of me.

You also don't want to accept any pretentious love.

You're not tormenting me, but yourself.

As long as you're able to prop yourself up,

you will realize that this world not only has love.

There are others that's worthy to be paid attention to.

Keep your spirit up and live your days well.

Even if I'm unable to give you enough love, you must learn to love yourself.

But I feel that this present self

is my true self.

That famous Pingcheng beauty that is considerate, gentle, and warm,

the precious pearl of the Chancellor,

was just an illusion.

Because I want people to treasure me in their hands, to respect me.

But I know that I'm not like that.

Even if you are not, you shouldn't be like how you are now.

Now?

Tell me, what do I look like now?!

Unreasonable or will indiscriminately slaughter people?

Let me tell you.

I hate these miscellaneous and trivial rules.

And the never-ending echoing to others.

What talent in verses, ditties, odes and songs?

Well-versed in zither, chess, texts, and drawing? Once you're unable to get what you want,

all those things are useless!

I hated every woman that winded around you!

But I endured them all.

Just for you, I endured them all.

In the past, I did it to satisfy father.

At present, I did it to win your good favor.

Since despite of everything that I've done, you will never love me.

Then there's no point in doing them anymore!

Looks like...

I had come in vain today.

Your Highness.

Mistress.

Bixi,

starting today, keep watch of Liu Chuyu well.

Yes.

Why are you here?

I heard that Imperial Consort Dowager went to His Majesty to cry, make a scene, and threatened to kill herself.

She kept forcing His Majesty to release Prince Kang.

How long has he been just locked up? It's so obvious that it was just an act.

I was worried that you'll be in a bad mood, so I especially came to check on you.

Talk.

What a good peach flower wine.

Of course. I personally made that.

Mellow flavor with a strong spirit, and it lasts for a long time. I'm letting you have one easily.

You came today to drink with me?

No.

No?

I have always been out marching my troops. Upon returning to Pingcheng, I had to be busy with official matters.

We still haven't had the chance to have a good talk about our relationship.

I just...wanted to see you.

- Lanruo. - General, who are you looking at?

Don't misunderstand. My feelings towards Qingyue is just—

The person who is misunderstanding things is you.

Misunderstanding? What have I musunderstood?

General, you have misunderstood your own feelings.

Lanruo, I can tell you that I deliberately approached Qingyue

just to get news about Princess Consort.

General, you feel guilt and pity

towards me. But that's not love.

I know very well what my feelings are for you.

Loving a person isn't like what you're doing.

You previously asked me why I was so stupid to get married with a memorial tablet.

I can tell it to you now.

I wasn't afraid of the rumors nor to be alone forever

because he was worth it, because I love him.

That's why, I was willing to preserve my chastity for him forever.

Lanruo, you are really so stupid.

General, the most unforgettable thing in a person's life is his unattainable desire.

The most painful thing is one that has been lost.

That's why, you will tend to fall deeper and deeper.

If everything didn't happen, I still would be Lanruo of the Shen family.

Will General love me then?

You won't. Because from the start, the one you love isn't me.

That's why, General, carefully ask your heart.

Who really is it turning towards to?

You're already grown up.

How come you still eat all day?

None of your business!

Oh, my...you little brat.

How come you like to get physical with just the littlest of misunderstanding?

Do you really understand—

Are you alright? I didn't mean to do it.

I also didn't mean to. So sorry!

If you have the time for idle chat, why not just use it to solve the civil unrest in Sizhou?

How come you just don't get it?

Whenever I come to see you, it's always official affairs.

Be careful of getting a lot of white hairs at such a young age.

Didn't His Majesty ask all the officials to think of a way or a proposal?

As the Prince Regent, of course, I must be a role model.

- If you are lazy today, what if His Majesty eventually punish you for it— - Forget it.

Just read your memorials. I'll take my strolls alone.

Hey!

Don't stay out for a long time. Don't you know that you've offended a lot of people?

Do you still remember the matter 3 days ago when people surrounded and blocked you?

What I wanted are talented military fighters

and not a useless person who can only walk horses or pit dogs for fighting.

Yet they insisted on putting a person into my army. Aren't I allowed to pick my men?

Pick?

You didn't even give him any drinks and just told him to walk though the forest.

And you even caused him to break his leg. Don't forget.

That was Grand Tutor Liu's grandson.

Grand Tutor Liu is already 80 years old,

yet he still went to His Majesty while on crutches just to complain about you.

If not because of my convincing, you've already been imprisoned.

The matter about Lord Liu is still an easy one. There are still a lot of complainants—

Enough. Look at you. Such a nagger.

I will be careful.

Princess Consort.

I don't want to drink.

Princess Consort, who caused you to be unhappy again?

Bored.

Hongxiu has entered the palace.

There are now people taking care of the children in the compound. I don't have any places to go anymore.

Today is the 15th. There will be a temple festival today in the city.

There are a lot of delicious food and performances. So lively.

You can go take a look.

- Really? - Yes.

Qingyue, there is a temple festival in the city. Let's go look.

Let's go.

Princess Consort! Bring some guards with you!

His Highness doesn't allow you to go out alone!

She went out?

Yes. I heard that there will be a temple festival in the city tonight.

I'm guessing that Princess Consort must have went there.

Strolling around the temple festival, such good mood.

- Bixi. - I'm here!

Come over here.

Go and send a message to Prince Kang.

- Prince Kang? - Right.

Your Highness, why didn't you light any candles?

If you don't like it, I'll extinguish them.

No need.

A young pretty lady lighting the candles while one reads his books

is the dream of every man.

It's rare that even in my current state of abjection,

there's still a beautiful woman accompanying me.

As long as Your Highness likes it, I'll light your candles every day.

Yun'er, there are numerous kinds of women in the world.

There are those who are gentle and considerate. There are ones that are unruly and willful.

There are women who are reserved and shy. There are some who are those who are valiant and formidable looking.

Every woman has their unique personality.

But do you know that after meeting you,

you are able to show me a new side of you every day.

Sometimes, I feel confused on what kind of woman you really are.

How come every day, you are able to show me a different wonderful trait?

Letting me slowly notice them.
