Painted Skin 2 No Regrets for Real Love (Hua Pi Zhi Zhen Ai Wu Hui / Hua Pi II / 画皮之真爱无悔)

~ Episode 2 ~

For this closed training session,

I hope to decode the Heaven Release Order

and increase my mastery.

The Fox Clan has many concerns, both within and outside our clan.

I am entrusting them to you.

No need to worry.

Your wife

will not let you down.

I trained for two sessions last time.

And, the court was still orderly,

all because of your meticulous management.

Thank you for your help.

To help by sharing my husband's burden

is my responsibility.

Husband, just focus on your practice.

There is no need to worry

about these little things.

Thank you Qing Er.

Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei? Mom!

Xiao Wei

Xiao Wei. Shhh, don't cry, don't cry.

Xiao Wei, don't cry.

Who are you?

Thank you for your help.

I don't have anything to give you to show my gratitude.

I will serve you all my life to thank you.

I don't need you right now.

You can do whatever you want.

You can go.

If Madam needs any help in the future, Cai Que will help you, no matter what.

Xiao Wei?

Xiao Wei?

Now, get up.

Good girl. Get up.

Mother brought you a gift.

See if you like it or not.

- Madam - Cai Que,

Go by Ice hell for me and

rescue that little fox demon Xiao Wei.

This is for you.

Inside this bottle is a pill that I cultivated.

It can remove all cold-related illnesses.

Tell her to be sure to take this.

Madam, who is Xiao Wei?

Why do I have to save her

and give her such a precious pill?

Ah! I know!

You're probably being merciful to those who are punished, so you can accumulate merits.

You talkative little sparrow!

Just go.

Madam, don't worry. I will deliver this, without fail.

Please be very careful this time.

I will watch over you, secretly.

Ok.

I really hate this kind of outfit.

It always takes so long to put on and is so exhausting to wear.

Princess,

this is how you should be dressed. Now you look like a royalty

with great beauty.

How come I have the feeling that you are not complimenting me

but saying that you girls did a great job on the wardrobe?

If it wasn't for the Princess' beauty,

the power of our skills wouldn't matter.

Yes, that's right.

Besides, though there are many beauties in this world,

- how can anyone compete with our princess's beau... - Enough.

Ok, ok, stop now.

If you keep on saying that, I'll turn into a fairy.

When Big Brother sees me like this, I just don't know

what he will think.

Which big brother?

I was talking about Cousin Xiao.

Ok, Qiao Er we have to go now.

Imperial Father is waiting.

Princess!

You need to mind your status and walk with light steps.

Ok.

Jing Er greets Imperial Father.

JIng Er, come and sit next to me.

Imperial Father,

you are being too extravagant.

I just finished my mourning period.

I was thinking of having just a simple birthday.

I kept your thoughts in mind

and held a family celebration.

But no matter how simple it is,

today is still the Princess's brithday.

I cannot let my precious princess suffer.

Good thing

Consort Lan is helping.

See, it looks pretty good.

Consort Lan did this?

Your majesty, Jing Er,

today is the Princess' special day.

I thought about it and remembered that you, Jing Er,

like the beauty of peonies.

So, I am here to give you a rare white peony.

It's fitting for the Princess' beauty.

My beloved consort is so thoughtful.

Jing Er, hurry and thank Consort Lan.

Oh, but I dont like peonies anymore.

Although peonies are fancy and gorgeous,

they are too common.

It's too different from me.

Consort Lan, you can keep it for yourself.

Jing Er,

Your Majesty, I was not thoughtful enough.

I couldn't even give the right gift and made the Princess unhappy.

Jing Er, how about this,

next time I will give you a gift that you like.

You may leave.

Your Majesty! Today is Princess's birthday.

I, representing all the officials, salute Your Majesty and the Princess.

We hope that Your Majesty and the Princess will live forever with infinite fortune.

Lord Ding, thank you.

Today is the princess's birthday.

But,

it's still a family feast.

My lords don't need to be overly demure and formal.

You all may drink and enjoy yourselves openly.

Thank you Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, there is something I need to speak with you about, though I am not sure if it is something I should say.

Lord Ding, go ahead.

Yes.

Your Majesty, the Princess is intelligent, clever, filial, and kind.

She's also well-versed in both liberal arts and martial arts.

She is definitely a rarity in this world.

I have admired her for a long time now.

Your Majesty, allow me to be bold

and ask for Your Majesty to grant me the Princess's hand in marriage.

Lord Ding really does like joking around.

I heard that Lord Ding already has wives and concubines.

How can you keep up with the Princess?

Your Excellency is wrong.

I actually don't have wives.

I only have a concubine, but I will divorce her.

I will only dedicate myself to the Princess.

I hope that Your Majesty will see my pure love for the Princess

and allow this marriage.

Your Majesty,

the Princess has passed the age of marriage, because of her period of mourning.

And the Lord Ding is young and accomplished.

He's also a pillar of our country.

Lord Ding controls Temple Dali.

He's been known to be cruel and is called the Cruel Official.

Besides, there have already been complaints about him in Jing City.

How can he be a pillar?

Consort Lan, my Imperial Mother may have passed away,

but my marriage

is not the business

of a consort of unknown origins, such as yourself.

Princess, it was I who didn't know my worth

and made you unhappy.

Your Majesty, please punish me.

Lord Ding, go back, for now.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Jing Er, you shouldn't be rude to Consort Lan.

Imperial Father, I was just babbling.

Consort Lan is usually quite tolerant. I'm sure she won't mind.

Right, Consort Lan?

Of course I don't mind.

Today is Princess's big day.

How can I mind?

That's right...

Is he dreaming?

Father..JIng Er

has recently learned some really beautiful martial arts skills.

Although it won't be beneficial in battlegrounds

but it produces quite a nice effect for the audience.

Father, can I show it to you?

You are a princess.

how can you hold a sword and gun everyday?

How improper.

Imperial Father,

The Ancestral Emperor

used swords and arms to conquer this good land.

And the Ancestral Emperor's daughters

had also led soldiers on the battle field, right?

As their descendant,

I will need to work hard

and imitate their actions.

Am I right, Imperial Father?

You

always have a point.

Ok.

I haven't seen you perform for so long.

Go ahead.

It will be a treat for everyone.

Jing Er obeys!

But...

Jing Er still needs a good sword.

If Imperial Father can let me borrow your gold sword,

then it would be like adding sparks to a flame

and the performance would be so much more exciting!

You clever thing.

Your intent is not the performance.

You must have set your eyes on my gold sword for a long time.
