The first 194 lines.
I didn't come here to fight with her.
What am i doing?
Your Highness! What's this?
The Crown Princess Consort caused your hand injury. This is the apology gift.
But...this is clothes that should be worn by the Crown Princess Consort.
It would be against the rules if I wore it.
If the Empress finds out,
she will blame me for not understanding my status and rules.
It won't happen. You won't be blamed this time.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Crown Princess Consort, are you really letting Consort Zhao go to Yue Fuo Jie for you?
Of course, girls from Xi State never go back on our words.
Either way, Consort Zhao's hand did get hurt because of me.
If she's happy from receiving the outfit, Li Chengyin will also be happy.
Then he won't come to my place and wreck havoc, it'll be nice and peaceful.
But if you don't attend the Buddha Festival,
aren't you afraid His Majesty and the Empress?
I've been sick for such a long time, so getting sick once and a while from the cold should be normal.
Either way, His Majesty and the Empress only need a prop.
They don't really mind whether it's me that's going.
But Crown Princess Consort,
Yongniang, I don't want to go. But if she wants to
isn't that a good thing? Don't bother.
Yes.
Where is the Crown Princess Consort, she didn't come?
The Crown Princess Consort caught a cold, so she asked to take a day off.
It's against traditions if Crown Prince has no one by his side,
so Consort Zhao is the substitute.
So there won't be a mistake within the agenda.
Wasn't she fine a couple days ago?
Is it because her illness has not fully recovered yet?
The Crown Princess Consort is no longer just like any other concubine.
As the Empress, you should take care of her.
I understand.
Don't worry, it will be fine.
Depart for the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
A'Du.
I've been seeing really weird memories these days.
The Imperial Doctor told me those are just dreams, but they were so realistic.
On the other hand, what the Empress told me about
running onto thieves, I don't have any recollection of that.
I feel like I've lost a really important memory.
I want to find it.
Teacher, what are you doing here?
Isn't today the Buddha Festival?
All the Imperial Relatives will be visiting the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas to pray.
I was waiting outside the temple to see you.
But you never came, so I came here.
I'm sick so I can't go.
Sick?
Why are you sick?
I'm not really sick.
I just told the Empress that I was sick.
Why did you do that?
It's because of Li Chengyin and his Zhao Sese.
Either way, imperial ceremonies are cumbersome and complicated, you're better off not going.
But the most interesting thing of Buddha Festival is the fair.
It's a waste if you don't go see it.
A fair?
What is fun at the fair?
The fair has a lot of fun things. They have dancing lions, fire acrobats,
catching goldfish, and performances from of the Western Borders.
I heard that the Persian witches are better than fortune tellers.
They can see your past and present life with just a look.
Persian witches?
They can see the past and present life?
I want to go see.
Good! Great! Good!
Good! Good!
Shopkeeper, can I have two sugared figures?
Here you go.
Don't cry, what are you crying about?
Wait for me.
Are you the Persian witch? Can you look at my fortune?
I'll take a look.
Gu Jian, this is the Persian witch you told me about. You should let her look at your fortune too.
Here.
You two, have affinity from two lives.
But they both will not end well.
You should leave each other.
What do you mean affinity of two lives and born to be against each other?
This is my teacher.
I really thought you can see my present life.
But apparently you are a scam.
Let's go.
Xiaofeng, go to the wishing pond with A'Du, I'll find you guys later.
I want to see what else this scammer has to say.
Hurry then.
Accessories, take a look.
Take a look.
Keep talking.
You are living to repent your sins.
You are holding onto this sin as you live on.
When you are done repenting,
and your heart has let it go.
Then at that time,
you body will suffer from
the pain of a thousand arrows piercing through your heart.
Is it worth it?
She is right, you aren't accurate.
Even though I am feeling like there's a thousand arrows piercing my heart,
I'm not planning to die yet.
I am planning to live on for a long time and suffer.
Buy a turtle!
Buy a turtle and set it free!
So you can lengthen your life span.
Buy a turtle and set it free!
A'Du, we ran onto more swindlers.
Would you believe that the turtles we just released will come back?
Let's go, come with me.
Your Majesty and I are on top of Vermillion Tower every year to celebrate the holiday with the citizens.
I am very happy.
This year looks more lively than the past.
Every Buddha Festival, I pray that the Buddha will look over the Li Kingdom.
For the winds and rains to come on time and for peace and prosperity.
For my citizens to make a good living.
Today, I see it.
I feel happy and assured.
Your Majesty shows grace, cares for the citizens and manages the country well.
Your contributions are a blessing for the people.
Your Majesty is wise.
A country of peace and prosperity is from your contributions too.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Minister Gao, ever since you were the Minister of Revenues,
the economy has been rising, and there'e been a balance of imports and exports.
The military rations are also abundant.
Because of people like you who are willing to exhaust themselves for the sake of others,
our citizens can live a life of peace.
Minister Gao, I will reward you accordingly.
Your Majesty, you are praising me. I am just fulfilling my duties.
Your Majesty has been changing the tax system to lessen the amounts of tax paid by citizens,
every time there is a disaster, you open the grain warehouse for any person of the Li Kingdom.
Home owners have their residences, farmers have their land, and merchants have their businesses.
You care about the citizen's ideas and feelings. Everyone is thanking you for your excellent ruling.
Alright, alright, alright.
Just one more.
There's no more? - No rushes! There are more.
Here they are.
I'll take one! Give me one!
Stop pushing!
Don't fight, don't fight for them!
Get in line! Get in line!
Little turtle, we see each other again.
Young Lady, you like this one?
It's not that I like this one, I just found it again.
Young Lady, what do you mean?
What I mean is,
you are using the idea of releasing them and making it into a scam.
Young Lady, you are spouting such nonsense.
I'm not, I saw it with my own eyes.
You are selling turtles,
then after every one releases their turtles, you catch and sell them again.
With a cycle like that, of course you can't run out of turtles to sell.
That's too much.
Young Lady, you shouldn't say things like that.
What evidence do you have saying that these turtles
are the ones we caught and resold?
Tell us, where's your evidence?
Everyone look at this.
This turtle
is the one I just bought from him earlier.
I released it.
If you didn't lie then why is it here again?
Right, she's right.
The turtles in the world look the same.
Doesn't mean you say it's yours,
means it's really yours!
Right, he's right.
Look, this white fabric was the one I tied on it.
You see it? See it?
You see it? See.
See? It is.
You guys are so wicked. - See?
I see it. - You're right.
It really is there. - So wicked of them.
Refund our money! - Refund!
Men!
Step away!
You're trying to bully by outnumbering us?
Today, I will show you what bullying the weak actually is!
Let's go that way.
I'll stay here for a bit.
I like places that aren't crowded.
Xiaofeng!
A'Du, hit him!
Chase them! Chase them! Chase them!
Don't run, stop right there!
Stop right there, don't let them run!
- Halt! - What are you doing? - Don't run!
Stop! If I don't settle my scores with you... - Over there!
Don't run! Stop! Don't run!
Over there!
Stop, don't run!
Move out of the way!
