The first 200 lines.
Sis, are you alright?
Sis, hang in there.
We'll arrive at Zhaozhou soon.
Sis!
Assassins! Protect our lady!
Sis!
Watch out, my lady!
Prince Yong's pregnant Consort Jing
on route to Zhaozhou to see her family,
was killed halfway there.
She gave birth to a son before she died
and named him Jing Ci.
Zhixia,
you stole Mrs. Yuan's daughter?
Five years ago,
that woman killed my lady.
Today,
I'll kill her daughter,
as a sacrifice for my lady!
Young master?!
Zhixia, please don't kill her.
Jing Ci.
Do you even know who she is?
Zhixia, she is an innocent baby.
Let me take care of her.
You mean you want her to stay with us?
I could use the company.
So, let's keep her around.
The wind is howling outside,
and you're still crying at this hour.
Let's name you Feng Mianwan.
A boy and a girl who'd have been enemies
instead came to
live under the same roof
for 18 years.
And so began a love
lasting two minds.
Jing Ci,
Zhaozhou is weak
compared to Yong and Ji States.
In last month's war between Yong and Ji,
Ji was victorious.
They will send General Li Yuan here,
hoping we can unite through marriage.
So I've been thinking...
who should be the bride?
Father,
although it is a smart move,
you could leave yourself
exposed,
or even lose the whole game.
This doesn't seem like you.
This is the move those officials
want me to make.
This move
will burn our bridge.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Please make a decision soon!
Can't I enjoy a game of go?
Jing Ci,
I don't want to burn any bridges.
Your Majesty!
Aren't you a bit
mistaken about the situation now?
Although Yong lost,
their core is intact.
Although they can't fight Ji now,
they could still destroy Zhaozhou
easily.
We can first win
the favor of Ji's envoy, General Li Yuan,
and gradually
develop good relations with them.
Do you think Yong will give you the time
to gradually befriend them?
What do you mean?
Do you really think
Emperor Yong can't predict your plans?
I bet before Ji's envoy arrives,
Yong's envoy
is already on his way.
Impossible.
Yong just suffered a big blow.
In such a short time,
how could they think of Zhaozhou?
General Li,
What's the matter?
Yong sent an envoy to Zhaozhou.
They're on their way now.
Xiaofeng,
how dare you laugh at me?
You think I can't catch that bird?
I'll get you and make you into stew.
I'll let you go.
Feng Mianwan!
What are you doing?
You're making so much noise.
Madam Zhixia,
Master Jing Ci said
he wanted chicken soup for dinner.
Is it he who wants it
or you who want it?
Don't forget who you are.
You're just his maid.
The young master
always tolerates you too much.
I'm sorry, my lady.
I won't let His Lordship do the cooking.
I'll cook by myself,
serve it to him
after it's done,
and to you as well.
Is your soup
even edible?
Keep it for yourself.
Yes.
Go.
Just go!
Sorry for scaring you like that.
This wretched bird was asking for it.
I'll cook it up now.
Dangshen,
wolfberry.
And what else?
My lord.
Didn't I say
I can do it myself?
You've been really busy recently,
so I wanted to make soup for you.
Dangshen...
but no ginger.
Did you mistake Dangshen
for ginger?
No wonder I thought I forgot something.
It was the ginger.
I'll go slice some up.
Watch your fingers.
I have learned kung fu from you for years.
I can cut a man into pieces,
let alone some ginger.
Cut a man?
When you go out,
please don't tell others
that I'm your teacher.
That'd be a disgrace for me.
When can I stop worrying about you?
I know you care about me,
and always watch out for me.
Why would you think that?
It's okay that you can't cook.
You cut yourself just slicing ginger.
My lord,
try the chicken soup I made for you.
If you like it,
perhaps Madam Zhixia
will stop saying
I'm a good-for-nothing.
The cook isn't in today?
I like preparing food for you.
But,
I don't like the food you prepare.
What do we do?
I put my heart into it.
You really don't like it?
Your heart...
I really can't accept it.
Try it yourself.
Although I have many shortcomings,
you always tolerate me,
and care for me.
I want to stay with you forever,
and keep you company.
Zesheng.
Father.
It's still quite cold today.
You should stay in your room.
Did you go see Jing Ci?
Not yet.
Father, you've been busy
with state affairs lately,
so I wanted to check on you first.
It's only proper, right?
You're always so thoughtful.
I heard people talking about the marriage.
In terms of the bride,
Majesty, you need to be cautious.
Father, do you want me to be the bride?
I see Jing Ci
as my own son.
If you two could tie the knot,
that'd be marvelous.
But,
when I brought it up,
he didn't seem interested.
Miss Mianwan.
You're free as I expected.
What can I do for you, Steward Wei?
Madam Zhixia just told me that
Master Jing Ci is not in.
