    Episode 10
[01:43] ---
    We need to seize our opportunity
     during the birthday celebrations.
[01:47] ---
    Tomorrow, I will use trade between
    our two nations as an excuse
[01:51] ---
    to persuade His Imperial Majesty
    to open up towns near the border.
[01:55] ---
    If this scheme works,
[01:57] ---
    you and I will coordinate from both outside
    and inside these towns when the time comes.
[02:05] ---
    But if we move too hastily,
[02:07] ---
    Ye Youming and his faction will
    not let us have our way easily.
[02:12] ---
    Do not fret.
[02:13] ---
    The empress dowager has
    always disliked Ye Youming.
[02:16] ---
    If an argument ensues, she will take our side.
[02:24] ---
    Shang'er, how can you forget
    your place and be so rude?
[02:29] ---
    Where is your gift to the princess?
    Why have you not presented one?
[02:32] ---
    Was your greedy mouth all you brought?
[02:35] ---
    As if.
[02:36] ---
    I have a gift right here to
    present to Princess Lanshuang.
[02:41] ---
    The princess definitely
    won't guess what it is.
[02:44] ---
    I'm not interested in guessing, either.
[02:49] ---
    Shang'er, you are too discourteous.
[02:52] ---
    His Imperial Majesty has loved Princess
    Lanshuang dearly since she was little.
[02:55] ---
    What treasure would she not have seen before?
[02:57] ---
    What right do you have to spout such nonsense?
[03:01] ---
    What nonsense?
[03:03] ---
    Behave yourself!
[03:04] ---
    Did you forgot the rules and rituals
     we taught you after you married?
[03:09] ---
    Enough!
[03:11] ---
    This is the princess' birthday party.
[03:13] ---
    How dare the two of you argue
    about such trivial matters here!
[03:19] ---
    I am a little curious about your gift.
[03:23] ---
    Hurry up and present it.
[03:26] ---
    My gift to the princess is a garland.
[03:29] ---
    A garland? Seriously?
[03:31] ---
    Since marrying Prince Ye, you have
    become ignorant of the rules of etiquette.
[03:35] ---
    How dare you present such a pathetic gift!
[03:39] ---
    Not only do you embarrass Prince Ye,
    you embarrass me also.
[03:45] ---
    You...
[03:46] ---
    As a proud prince, I do not require
    my princess to bring gifts herself.
[03:50] ---
    I did not expect your daughter to bring a gift.
[03:53] ---
    Based on her sincerity alone,
    how could our vulgar gifts even compare?
[04:00] ---
    At least you thought of me, Prince Jerk.
[04:03] ---
    Yes, but—
[04:04] ---
    Besides, Grand Councilor and his wife are
    disrupting the occasion with this fracas.
[04:09] ---
    It makes one wonder who is
    the "discourteous" one here...
[04:19] ---
    I am delighted that His Highness
     spoils my daughter so.
[04:24] ---
    However, given His Highness'
     noble and special status,
[04:27] ---
    and the important military duties His
    Imperial Majesty has bestowed on him,
[04:30] ---
    I believe His Highness should be more
     careful with his speech and behavior.
[04:34] ---
    He has, after all, disregarded the
    rules of etiquette and morals.
[04:37] ---
    Is such behavior appropriate?
[04:46] ---
    It seems like I've made
     trouble for Prince Jerk...
[04:50] ---
    Ye'er...
[04:52] ---
    It was indeed Princess Ye
     who talked back first.
[04:55] ---
    You may spoil her, but you cannot disregard
    seniority and seriousness in these matters.
[05:00] ---
    I am worried that you will fail to
    meet your father's expectations.
[05:05] ---
    Grandmother, Brother did
    not mean it in that way.
[05:08] ---
    I am speaking to Ye'er right now.
[05:19] ---
    Grandmother, please don't blame my brothers.
[05:22] ---
    I actually really like this garland.
[05:25] ---
    It is pure and refined,
    with a fresh fragrance.
[05:28] ---
    These...
[05:29] ---
    Are these flowers Jizi orchids?
[05:35] ---
    Jizi orchids?
[05:38] ---
    This orchid blooms once every 300 years,
    and is extremely difficult to grow.
[05:40] ---
    Every 300 years?
[05:42] ---
    It is a very delicate flower.
[05:46] ---
    Furthermore, only a truly refined person
    may earn the right to nurture this flower.
[05:58] ---
    Where are these butterflies from?
[06:01] ---
    They are likely attracted by
    the fragrance of the Jizi orchid.
[06:10] ---
    I have yearned for this flower, ever since
    I saw its picture in a book many years ago.
[06:16] ---
    At that time, your grandfather
    was given a plant by a hermit.
[06:22] ---
    After careful nurturing, buds appeared.
[06:26] ---
    Despite this, I had still never had
    the chance to see it in full bloom.
[06:32] ---
    Today is the day my beloved
    granddaughter comes of age.
[06:37] ---
    This precious and rare Jizi orchid
    becomes my Shuang'er perfectly.
[06:48] ---
    Excellent. We thank you for
    your kindness, Princess Ye.
[06:52] ---
    I find it hard to believe you found time
    to prepare the perfect gift for Lanshuang
[06:55] ---
    while locked in the firewood storehouse.
[06:57] ---
    But the Princess Palace does not have this
    type of flower. Where did you acquire it?
[07:03] ---
    Through legal means.
[07:09] ---
    They can even grow Jizi orchids.
    The Ye Princely Palace is wondrous.
[07:14] ---
    His Imperial Majesty's ability
    to spot talent is unquestionable.
[07:17] ---
    All right. Let the banquet begin!
[07:19] ---
    The banquet begins!
[07:36] ---
    Here, Lord Ji.
[07:37] ---
    To your health, Grand Councilor.
[07:54] ---
    Lord Beitang, do you enjoy
    the food of the Central Plains?
[07:59] ---
    The Central Plains are vast,
    abundant with food and the like.
[08:02] ---
    This plum wine from the north and lychee soup
     from the south can share the same table.
[08:07] ---
    It has broadened my horizons.
[08:10] ---
    However, the lychees could be fresher.
[08:14] ---
    If you had faster horses to transport them...
[08:20] ---
    Your Imperial Majesty, we have many
    products, and they have good horses.
[08:24] ---
    Why not each take what we need from the other,
    and create trading posts at the border?
[08:30] ---
    This way, not only will it grow our
     economy, it will increase our GDP.
[08:35] ---
    Would it not kill two birds with one stone?
[08:37] ---
    Good horses...
[08:39] ---
    Now that the West has shown its intention for
    peace, which it has expressed most sincerely,
[08:44] ---
    I believe we should not pass up
     such a golden opportunity.
[08:50] ---
    Your Imperial Majesty, the border
    towns are important military sites.
[08:53] ---
    Opening trading posts is not
    some game. Please think twice!
[08:57] ---
    Your concerns are sensible
    ones, General Xuan.
[09:00] ---
    However, such isolationist policies
     are not a long-term solution.
[09:04] ---
    Or is this a sign that you do not believe you can
     defend our nation and its people, General Xuan?
[09:10] ---
    But...
[09:13] ---
    In order to promote this trade deal,
    we are willing to provide our best stallions.
[09:20] ---
    All right. After the banquet,
[09:22] ---
    please come to the Imperial Palace to
    discuss this matter in detail, Lord Beitang.
[09:26] ---
    My thanks, Imperial Majesty.
[09:28] ---
    Congratulations, Father, on reaching a
    preliminary agreement with Lord Beitang.
[09:32] ---
    However, if we are talking horses,
[09:34] ---
    I have bred a number of stallions recently,
[09:38] ---
    and they are more than
    a match for those in the West.
[09:41] ---
    Oh? Stallions better than the West's?
[09:45] ---
    As everyone knows, the horses from
    the West are the best of the best.
[09:49] ---
    Are you sure your confidence
    is not unfounded, Highness?
[09:52] ---
    In that case, let us have a race.
[09:56] ---
    We will find out who breeds
    the best horses in the world.
[10:07] ---
    What an interesting turn of
     events! You have my blessing!
[10:16] ---
    Do not be impulsive.
[10:19] ---
    Something wrong? You fear
    you will lose, Lord Beitang?
[10:23] ---
    Since the invitation is from Your
    Highness, how can I not accept?
[10:27] ---
    Perfect. Allow me to give you some
    advice about riding, Your Highness.
[10:30] ---
    No.
[10:32] ---
    I am not the one you will be competing against.
[10:35] ---
    It will be her.
[10:45] ---
    What? Princess Ye?
[10:47] ---
    Asking the princess to
    compete in a horse race?
[10:52] ---
    Your Highness, surely you jest?
[10:56] ---
    Does it look like I am?
[10:59] ---
    What the heck is Prince Jerk thinking?
[11:01] ---
    Father.
[11:02] ---
    The horses I breed can beat Lord Beitang's
     even when ridden by a rider without skill.
[11:09] ---
    This will prove they are the best in the world.
[11:14] ---
    All right. I will judge your contest today.
[11:20] ---
    My thanks, Father.
[11:23] ---
    Servants! Bring my horse.
[11:27] ---
    Come on! You can do it!
[11:32] ---
    Seriously?!
[11:45] ---
    That is the horse raised by Prince Ye.
[11:48] ---
    What an extraordinary beast!
[12:00] ---
    So it's you, Juliet!
[12:02] ---
    It's been a while, my Romeo.
[12:04] ---
    Are you going to ride me today?
[12:09] (Flashback) ---
    I witnessed it. Succubus behaved
    like a rabbit in her presence.
[12:15] ---
    Interesting.
[12:19] ---
    This is the horse?
[12:21] ---
    Yes, this is one of the stallions I have bred.
[12:26] ---
    How does it compare to your
    Thousand Miles Snow Hoof, Lord Beitang?
[12:39] ---
    You never mentioned
    Ye Youming had a Red Dragon Foal.
[12:43] ---
    I told you not to be impulsive.
[12:45] ---
    We will begin when you are ready.
[12:48] ---
    Riders Princess Ye and Lord Beitang.
    Please mount your horses.
[12:54] ---
    A Red Dragon Foal versus
    a Thousand Miles Snow Hoof.
[12:58] ---
    It is hard to say which will win.
[13:00] ---
    If Ye Youming wins and gains the
    upper hand, our plans will be dashed.
[13:08] ---
    The higher the risk, the better the reward.
[13:11] ---
    Ye Youming has been nothing but aggressive.
[13:13] ---
    This could be a good opportunity for us.
[13:17] ---
    Lord Beitang, do you intend to...
[13:21] ---
    Ye Youming is not the only one
    who came well-prepared.
[13:49] ---
    What's going on?
[13:50] ---
    The heavens have opened!
[13:52] ---
    Help the masters to the hallway
     to shelter from the rain.
[14:02] ---
    My birthday party...
[14:04] ---
    Oh dear. It seems the
    weather is not cooperating.
[14:09] ---
    Imperial Majesty,
    deciding which border towns
[14:11] ---
    to use as trading posts
    requires careful consideration.
[14:15] ---
    Since the rain is heavy, why not come
     to my house so we can discuss it?
[14:23] ---
    Please don't go, Father. Today is my birthday.
[14:26] ---
    Anyone who leaves early is a meanie.
[14:29] ---
    She is right, Father.
[14:30] ---
    If everyone departs, who shall
    keep Lanshuang company?
[14:34] ---
    Indeed. Has Grand Councilor even
    considered how the princess would feel?
[14:39] ---
    It is my fault for not
    considering that aspect.
[14:42] ---
    I hope Her Highness will forgive me.
[14:45] ---
    But as it is raining heavily, there seems
    little hope of the banquet continuing.
[14:51] ---
    No! No!
[14:52] ---
    I spent more than a month
     preparing this banquet.
[14:55] ---
    I don't want it to end like this!
[14:56] ---
    Shuang'er...
[14:58] ---
    A storm may appear from
    a cloudless sky, Her Highness.
[15:02] ---
    We cannot fight the weather.
[15:05] ---
    That's what you think.
[15:15] ---
    The weather won't change, but people can.
[15:17] ---
    It's only drizzling. There are
     many solutions to this problem.
[15:23] ---
    What do you plan to do?
[15:26] ---
    How many red silks like the
    ones on that tree do we have?
[15:31] ---
    We have a lot in the
    storehouse still, Your Highness.
[15:35] ---
    And roller blinds?
[15:36] ---
    We have plenty.
[15:39] ---
    Please bring some over here.
[15:40] ---
    Yes, Highness.
[15:42] ---
    What is Princess Ye planning to do?
[15:46] ---
    What do you plan to do this time?
[15:48] ---
    You want to know, Highness?
[15:50] ---
    Tell me.
[15:51] ---
    I'm not telling.
[15:58] ---
    Your Highness, is this enough?
[16:01] ---
    Is there anything else you need us to fetch?
[16:05] ---
    Let me see...
[16:08] ---
    It seems like something's still missing.
[16:11] ---
    There are pebbles around the
    corner of the hallway. Fetch some.
[16:16] ---
    Does he know what I'm going to do?
[16:19] ---
    So he just pretended not to know?
[16:22] ---
    This guy's despicable.
