Princess Silver (白发)

" Princess Silver "

Episode 14

" Tranquil Garden "

This is the Tranquil Garden.

This is the resting chamber that I had prepared for you.

If you are not satisfied with the decorations,

I'll ask them to redecorate it again.

Watch the steps.

Wu You.

Did you find anything?

The bathroom is just straight ahead.

But it was used by my friend just now. So, it's still a little bit damp.

-No need to look at it then. -Why not?

Princess,

do you mind?

I don't mind.

After you, Princess.

After you, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why are these still here? Clean them out now.

Yes, General Fu.

Although this bathroom is not as luxurious as the one in the palace,

it's spacious enough.

Of course a general's manor won't be as good as a palace.

Sorry to have put you to such inconvenience.

Your Highness.

Are you sure that she never left the Manor?

Yes.

Pass on my words.

We have to keep an eye on every person that goes out from the manor today.

I don't believe that she can disappear into thin air.

Yes, Your Highness.

Please have a seat.

Let's go.

Is she among this group of dancers?

Prince Li, please have a seat.

When did your personality changed, Wu You?

When did you start to have interest in beauty?

Man Yao.

So, that's how my stand-in looks like.

Wu You, you are too rude.

You are indeed as fair as the rose.

An outer-worldly beauty.

What is your name?

I am Hen Xiang from House of Fragrance.

Good.

Good.

If you don't mind,

I'll be serving you, Your Highness.

Great.

That's great.

Have a seat.

You may leave now.

Bring in the wine.

Is this Shilixiang wine?

You are indeed very knowledgeable. This is indeed the Shilixiang wine.

Princess, have a taste.

Wu You, this is the Shilixiang wine that I stole from your manor.

At first, I thought that it can lower her guard.

Thank you for the wine.

But I had just recovered from my illness.

The doctor had warned me off against alcohol.

I don't feel well...

just by inhaling the smell of the wine.

I'm sorry for being not attentive enough.

Bring us some tea.

Cheers, Your Highness.

Cheers.

General Fu.

Cheers.

Cheers, Your Highness.

This is indeed a good wine.

I heard that this wine no longer exists.

Where did you get it?

I got it from a friend as gift.

Sixteen years ago, this was once served in the royal feast...

as the best wine that was the talk of the town.

Nobody knew what happened...

but my father was so furious until he sentenced the Qin family to death.

Such a waste to lose such an excellent vintner.

Qin Yong didn't even get to pass on his skills.

The Qin family is well-known for his loyalty.

But his family was exterminated just because he sent in...

a jug of quality wine to the palace.

His whole family was slaughtered in a blink of an eye.

Every scholar in the world mourns his death.

As the crown prince of this nation,

you are not sorry for the loss of his capabilities in managing a country...

but are sorry for the loss of his wine-making skills?

His passing is very woeful and regrettable.

You are wrong, Princess.

Minister Qin was once my father's most trusted aide.

He must have committed treason to the emperor.

Or else, his whole family won't be exterminated.

Am I right, Wu You?

Wu You.

Qin Yong used to be your teacher.

The wine that was made by him is one of the kind only.

You should make an exception.

Or else, it'll be your greatest regret if you don't drink it.

Wu You.

Come.

This is such an oversight.

I forgot that Prince Li does not consume wine.

Bring in some tea for Prince Li instead.

Wu You.

Lady, let's go home.

Come, my lady.

Come. Get in the carriage, Xiang.

I'll get in first.

Farewell, Your Highness.

I know that you didn't do it just to help me.

What is your purpose of doing it?

I admit that I did it for a purpose.

But I'm very glad that you are willing...

to trust me.

Now, do you want to continue staying here...

or do you want to go back to the Princess Manor with Xiao Sha?

Do I have a choice?

You have already arranged everything.

The lives of Long Yue and the others are in your hands.

And Xiao Sha is always by my side to keep an eye on me.

Now, you want me to choose?

However,

you won't be able to control me always...

and I won't be your string puppet.

You always took me by surprise with your fierce determination.

-Man Yao. -Don't call me Man Yao.

I'm the Elder Princess of Western Qi.

I'm not someone you can look down on.

You must have worked so hard to carry out your duties, Sir Xiao.

Princess...

Looks like you have arranged everything.

You have taken away all of the people...

that I'm familiar with.

Now, both your identity and your purpose here...

can be exposed easily.

We can't let the people of Northern Realm know about it.

So,

it's better to be cautious.

Are you saying that Fu Chou is not the people of Northern Realm?

Since you are going to place me under house arrest,

no need to sugar-coat it.

Since you already know,

give me The Book of Mountains and Rivers then.

I'll keep my promise.

After you are married for one year,

you can come back to our home in Western Qi.

Home?

Where is my home?

Do I have a home?

I only care about...

The Book of Mountains and Rivers.

You are right.

The book is with me.

-But I have a condition. -Tell me.

Let my people live.

Chen Yu, Ling Yue, Xiao Wei and Long Yue.

No harm shall come to them.

Alright.

Xiao Sha.

-Yes, Your Majesty. -Bring her to them tomorrow.

Roger that.

Beauty.

Your Highness.

-You are drunk. -I'm not.

I'm not drunk.

You want to run?

Where can you run?

Naughty girl.

-Who are you? -I...

You! This...

Beauty.

-Beauty. -Your Highness.

-Crown prince. -It's alright.

Beauty, let me take a look.

You...

Are you mad?

You...

How can you bring a girl from a public house into your Eastern Palace?

Have you ever shown me any respect as your wife?

If the emperor and my father know about this,

how am I going to cover it up for you?

Your father again.

You are using your father to threaten me again.

Yes.

You scholars are very powerful.

All of you looked down on me.

Ever since I marry you,

I have never made things difficult for you.

I had turned a blind eye to it...

when you enjoyed yourself with those women out there.

But Your Highness,

how can you bring a lowly wench into the Eastern Palace?

-You... -Eastern Palace...

is just a wall apart from your bed chamber.

It's my fault.

Please kick me out from the palace, Your Highness.

Beauty, please stand up. You...

You are just a woman. You know nothing.
