Eternal Love (三生三世十里桃花)

Greetings to Consort Le Xu.

When I risked my life to beg for leniency for you that day at the main hall

it was not for you, but for Ye Hua's child in your womb.

Do you understand?

I understand.

However, I have already made vows with Ye Hua to the Lakes of the Far East

and bowed to heaven and earth.

We are already husband and wife.

He is Crown Prince of the Celestial Tribe.

He has his own predestined marriage.

The things you two did in the mortal realm do not count.

- But even if it is in the mortal realm-- - Impudence.

When I am speaking, you may only listen.

This is a rule of the Celestial Tribe.

Yes.

Greetings, Heavenly Lord.

Su Jin.

Take me to Crown Prince.

Yes.

No need to stand on ceremony.

Why were you so careless?

I was too impatient.

You started the war the very night that the Celestial Army arrived at Chang Sea.

That was a dangerous move.

I am willing to accept punishment.

Father.

The soldiers' fighting spirit was aroused after Ye Hua was critically injured.

They only took three days to attain an overwhelming victory.

Ye Hua has achieved great merit.

You may all step out.

- Yes. - Yes.

A few days ago, I brought back a mortal.

She was carrying your child in her womb.

What is going on?

Is Your Majesty speaking of a woman from Mount Junji?

Yes.

When I was carrying out the order to subdue the Golden Lion

I suffered a minor injury.

I was rescued by this mortal woman.

The child she is carrying is my repayment to her.

Since it is a repayment, then it is not a big issue.

You will be succeeding my position in the future.

It is not good to be too sentimental.

You just need to remember this and there will be nothing for me to worry about.

However, since she is carrying your child

she will stay in Heaven.

I think

a mortal staying in Heaven is not proper Celestial Tribe etiquette.

Why is there a need to go to such trouble?

A child of the Celestial family should of course stay in Heaven.

Being left in the wilderness is even more improper.

She is already in the Nine Heavens.

When you have recovered and returned from Chang Sea

we'll make other arrangements.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I would like to say something.

What do you want to say?

Although that lady is just a mortal

she is already carrying Crown Prince's child.

I think since Your Majesty has issued the decree

to allow the mortal to stay in Heaven

then why not issue another decree to make her a side consort?

Side consort?

If the mother of the child has no title

after the baby is born, it will be mocked.

No. She is a mortal woman.

She cannot be the Crown Prince's side consort.

Yes, if the woman is so easily made side consort

it will be a violation of the Celestial Tribe's decorum.

We will also be unable to explain to Bai Qian of Qing Qiu.

That is why Consort Su Jin's idea is inappropriate.

Enough.

Since Ye Hua is nursing his wounds, I will not be staying.

Take good care of Ye Hua.

Rest assured, Father.

I have watched Su Jin grow up.

How come it is becoming harder to understand what she is thinking?

Ye Hua.

You are more important to Father than anyone else.

You might be able to protect Su Su for now

but if you wish for her to be safe for a long time in the Celestial Palace

it is absolutely impossible.

After she has safely given birth to the child

I will have her drink the water of the River of Oblivion

to completely forget about me, and this relationship will end.

I thought you were most sensible.

I never expected you would say such preposterous things.

Heavenly Lord.

This copper mirror is an item the Crown Prince carries with him.

I picked it up on the day he was injured.

Can you guess whose voice I heard from this?

It is that mortal's voice.

Are you saying she and Ye Hua communicate through this mirror?

Your Majesty knows best the Crown Prince's personality.

If it is as Crown Prince says, that he does not value this mortal

then why would he bestow the copper mirror to her?

Your Majesty, haven't you been worried that

Crown Prince would become another Second Prince?

That is why everything I just did

was in hopes that the mortal would remain in the Celestial Palace

so she would be easy to deal with under our control.

All right.

Continue to keep an eye on this matter.

Yes.

Greetings, Your Highness.

You are...

I am the Water King of Chang Sea's second daughter, Lu Xiu.

It is so late at night.

Have you come on some urgent business?

I came to deliver a tonic to the Crown Prince.

This is a specialty of Chang Sea

the aquatic lingzhi mushroom that grows only once every thousand years.

It will be very beneficial for the Crown Prince's recovery.

I'll bring it in for you.

Go back to rest, Princess.

- But-- - What is it?

Is there something more urgent?

I...

I take my leave.

Your Highness, you need to rest in peace for at least 20 days

- for your wounds-- - It is no matter.

- Go now. - Yes.

- Crown Prince, Third Prince. - Crown Prince, Third Prince.

Rise.

- Yes. - Yes.

Is there any activity in the palace?

Report, Third Prince.

Just yesterday, a fire suddenly broke out in Zhaohua Palace

and nearly... and nearly injured that mortal woman.

Why would there be a fire?

I am not certain either.

I heard it was the Ghost Lord's mount who caused the fire.

It was an accident.

We return immediately to the Celestial Palace.

Yes.

- Greetings, Crown Prince. - Greetings, Crown Prince.

Crown Prince.

- Ye Hua! - Presumptuous.

With your status, how should you greet the Crown Prince when you see him?

Su Su greets Crown Prince.

Mother.

You are with child. You need not stand on ceremony from now on.

You may go.

Yes.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

The Crown Prince returned to the palace so quickly?

Perhaps his injuries are not as severe as rumored.

Heavenly Lord has forbid Medicine King from speaking.

Ye Hua is also one to keep everything to himself.

As for whether his injuries are severe

only he himself and the ones by his side would know best.

Dijun.

Feng Jiu.

I passed by Xiwu Palace the other day

and saw you come out from there.

What was I doing at Xiwu Palace?

Other than Xiwu Palace, only Zhuxian Terrace is in that area.

Could you have been at Zhuxian Terrace to view the moon?

Yes.

That night, the moon was very beautiful, reminding me of Qing Qiu.

Without noticing, I had wandered towards Zhuxian Terrace.

You went to Zhuxian Terrace to view the moon?

Yes.

The view was very delightful that night and the moonlight was especially bright.

And I thought the Nine Heavens is such a nice place.

Even the moon can be so clear.

The moon was big...

Really?

If you like it, then go often.

Thank you, Dijun.

Si Ming.

Present.

Remember to keep an eye on her.

Xiwu Palace is not a peaceful place.

It is best not to frequent the place.

I understand.

Did I say something wrong?

Si Ming, what kind of place is Zhuxian Terrace?

When I told Dijun I went to Zhuxian Terrace to view the moon

why did he act so strangely?

Did I say something wrong?

Your Highness has been at the palace for some time now.

Have you not heard anyone speak of it?

I've never heard anyone mention it.

That's true.

Your Highness lives in the palace maid's side chambers.

Those people naturally would not speak of it.

Zhuxian Terrace has always been an ominous place for immortals.

Ordinary immortals cannot use any of their magic powers when they are there.

It is a place of bad luck.

Really?

You're not lying to me?

Most immortals avoid walking past it.

You went to the Zhuxian Terrace to view the moon?

Dijun just can't be bothered to respond.

This Hall of Beautiful Youth has been vacant for many millennia.

We've worked half to death and it's only looking a little bit cleaner.

Yes, what prospects would we have following this woman?

- Crown Prince. - Crown Prince.
