Love Like the Galaxy (星汉灿烂)

Open the city gate! Hurry and open the city gate!

Victory in Longyou! The army is returning!

Victory in Longyou! The army is returning!

An edict for Ling Buyi!

Former General Ling Buyi

killed enemy generals, destroyed their armies, and was victorious for thousands of miles.

He swayed the enemies' might and suppressed the war.

After this fight, the world is settling into peace. His meritorious services are outstanding.

Today, Ling Buyi will be conferred as the Deputy Lieutenant of Guang Luxun. (Guang Luxun: Supervisor of Attendants in imperial China, one of the Nine Ministers)

He will take command of the Left Cavalry of the Yulin Guards.

In addition, he will be the Commander of Yue Cavalry of the Fifth Academy of the Northern Army.

He's also conferred the position of being an aide to the emperor and is allowed to enter forbidden areas of the palace.

During court, he's allowed to carry his sword,

walk at his pace and called upon by his title. [T/N: In the olden days, officials were supposed to run in small steps when going to court. And not being called by full name in court is an honor.]

I, your subject, thank the emperor.

General Ling, please rise.

Please accept the edict.

After hearing that the general was back, His Majesty did not sleep all night.

Originally, he wanted to come in person but was persuaded by Imperial Censor Zuo not to.

General Ling, please change into the cape that His Majesty has bestowed upon you.

Let's return to the palace first. His Majesty will hold a banquet to welcome you in person.

Please report to His Majesty that I've received an important message.

Once I'm done, I'll return to the palace to have a meal with him.

At that time, I will personally ask for forgiveness.

- Set out! - Yes!

What is happening for him to be this anxious?

She couldn't have died from sickness, right?

They say disasters remain for a thousand years,

and she has been sick for barely a month. Death doesn't come so easily.

I already told you this.

It was precisely because Fourth Miss was left behind in the village by you people that she fell so ill.

She's not well yet, she can't leave.

Even if she can't, she must leave!

Master is returning in half a month.

Let's not mention if she is ill.

Even if she is dead,

she must return with me!

Fourth Miss, I am guessing you have not eaten anything hot in these past few days.

Today, I've brought many dishes for you.

After you're done, we can start our journey.

If you still refuse to open the door,

I'll dump everything in this box out.

Look at this attitude!

Slow down, slow down. You were sick for so long, you shouldn't rush.

You know how long I have been hungry. How can I slow down?

But if you eat too much. I'm scared that this will hurt your stomach.

People need to be alive to have a stomach.

Knock, knock, knock.

Do you want me to die that quickly?

Those rascals actually have the face to come.

Last month Young Lady almost died from the fever.

And they didn't even send anyone to check on you.

Now that you're better, here they come.

They must have an ulterior motive.

I'm a dying person. Even my parents don't care about me.

But someone has actually come.

This is quite unusual.

But Master and Madam have always sent letters here all these years.

It proves that they do care about you.

All these years, just based on a few letters to show their care?

This is the first I've heard in this world.

Too bad that I have a vital lifeline. Otherwise, they would have received a reply that I had died of illness.

Are you done eating?

You finished eating the food I gave you, so you have to leave with us.

The Cheng family does not give out free food.

Young Lord, should we capture them?

We're not in a hurry.

No matter what, Fourth Miss is our master.

Are you guys planning on bullying the master by handling things like this?

She is just a troublemaker who no one cares about. Does she seriously consider herself a master?

Are you opening the door?

I am going to break in if you still don't open the door.

What are you doing? Move back. Move back.

I just don't believe it.

You think I cannot take you away today right?

I will... I will... You have to come with me today!

Who said to put the ash here?

Are you purposely trying to hurt me?

Housekeeper Li.

You probably forgot.

A few days ago, I had Lian Fang inform Second Aunt (in-law).

This room has lots of bugs. It's not fit to live in.

She said I'm here to reflect, not here for enjoyment.

So she ordered me to prepare these plant ashes.

I heard Housekeeper Li knock on the door just now and was worried that you'd choke on the ashes,

so I asked Lian Fang to bring them out.

But who knew you had no basic manners and just barged in.

You're making things difficult for me.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me!

You, you, you...

Fourth Miss, don't use those pretty words on me.

I know you feel grieved.

You can only blame yourself and your bad conduct!

Madam locked you in here to teach you a lesson.

In case you don't follow the rules in the future

and ruin the Cheng family.

Madam's effort,

Fourth Miss should be appreciative.

Of course, I must.

I should appreciate that you all didn't let me starve to death here.

Look. My new solid gold earrings.

Compared to the jade ones Old Madam Wan next door wore the last time,

aren't they more elegant?

Ever since this morning, my eye has been fiercely twitching.

I'm so anxious.

Mother (in-law), do you think something will happen?

Don't wish that on us.

Master is finished fighting and is about to return home.

What can you be anxious about?

This is what I'm worried about.

People who know, understand that you sent Fourth Miss away to educate her.

People who don't know will think you–

and I are not taking care of her.

What if this girl says something in front of Brother (in-law)?

If Xiao Yuanyi finds out,

she would feel like you kept Fourth Miss

just so she can suffer.

These days, Madam has been constantly worried about your illness.

She especially ordered me to bring you back.

Our miss is not yet back to full health. She can't stand all the moving.

Fourth Miss isn't weak. What's wrong with moving?

You're such a busy body.

Come, help Fourth Miss into the carriage.

- No need to pull me. - What are you doing?

I can walk myself.

That old woman is about to get in the carriage.

Looks like the thief isn't in the carriage.

You need to check your eyes.

Where is there an old woman? It's clearly a girl.

Which family's daughter wears such poor clothing?

What are you doing? What is it?

Hurry up and get in. Why are you so slow?

Hurry up!

Move aside. Busybody.

Why does this carriage smell like sweat?

It smells the most here. Could it be from Housekeeper Li?

- Hurry up! Go! Go! - How can a servant ride in here?

- Hurry, go! - She's so disrespectful to Young Lady.

This isn't the scent of Housekeeper Li.

- This is the smell of a man who hasn't bathed for several days. - A man?

Hurry up! Go! Go!

What's the scent of a man?

Stinky.

I just hope that Master and Madam can come back soon.

By then, we can eat anything we want.

Who said there'll be food once Father and Mother come back?

Whether the future is good or bad,

it's uncertain.

At least you won't be bullied like this.

Having to hurry back while you're sick today.

Such a rush. I don't know what the reason could be.

Why else?

Of course, it's because something big happened at the manor.

Fourth Miss' personality

is like her mother's. So detestable.

This Xiao Yuanyi was previously married.

What's good about her?

My son had to marry her.

Okay, enough.

- Oh right, didn't you send someone to get Fourth Miss this morning? - Yes.

She's had a hard life. Is it harder than mine?

I brought up three children.

- Back in the day, your father-in-law died early... - They're back! They're back!

Old Madam, they're back!

It's fine that they're back.

Why so much ruckus? I was just getting sentimental.

Bring her to her room to rest.

No, not Fourth Miss. It's Master!

Who? My son is back?

Oh, my son is back!

Why so quick?

He's back!

My eldest son is back!

My son is back!

More than ten years.

God bless! My son is back!

Mother.

You're back?

You're back.

Where's my son?

Yuanyi! Yuanyi, your favorite pastries!

My son!

My son! My son!

Yuanyi.

Who knew that after over a decade and the old woman was still making it.

Eat while it's hot.

He's returned but doesn't know to come home first.

Going to some dessert stand

to buy dessert for his new wife.

Doesn't even bring any for his mother.

Son... Son!

- Mother! - Son!

- Son... - Mother.

Son...

Mother, you had green onions today?

Look at you. Eating too much.

This habit that you developed in the countryside still hasn't changed after a decade.
