[English subtitles are available] [One and Only] [Episode 2] I’m asking for this with great sincerity to eliminate the past estrangement between the Cui family and Nanchen Mansion. I would like to do so. Thank you, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness, on your new pupil. Congratulations, Grand Mentor. I will lead the troops to the south soon. I’ll be gone for several years. My entire mansion is full of warriors. No one will be able to take care of a young lady. After I win victory in the battle of Jiangshui, send her to the Western State. It’s a deal. It’s a deal. Uncle, please stay. What does Your Majesty want from me? You’ve been guarding the territory for my father for many years. You’ve had hard work. I’ll accept this obeisance for the soldiers. Go back now. I’m leaving the palace. Won’t you stay here for the night? This place… is not for me to stay. When will I see you again? The day of the funeral. I’ll be there. [Xuan Tombs] Stop. Today, there is no ruler or subject. Only the elder and the younger. Uncle, please hold the funeral ceremony. I’m a prince with foreign last name. I’m not allowed to enter the royal tombs. Uncle. Zhao Teng. I’m here. I grant my uncle the sword and the golden battle-axe. From now on, uncle, you don’t need to report things with your title. You don’t have to walk to the court. You may wear your sword in the hall. Thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I don’t need these extraneous things. Uncle. Your Majesty, take care. In the fourth year of Shunchang, the emperor passed away. At the age of six, the Crown Prince was crowned. Kneel down. Halloo! Long live the emperor! Halloo! Long live the emperor! Again! Long live the emperor! Pay homage! [Xianyang Hall] I know there has always been a burden in your heart since the late emperor was alive, Cui. This is the royal decree for the engagement of the Crown Princess. Cui, this is a great joy. Cui, accept the royal decree. When the late emperor granted the marriage, His Majesty was the Crown Prince and the young lady of Cui family would be the Crown Princess. Now that His Majesty is the emperor, I think the young lady of Cui family should be the empress. This decree is wrongly made. The late emperor made the daughter of Cui family the Crown Princess, not the empress. You don’t have to be so aggressive, Cui. His Majesty’s accession to the throne is a celebration for all the country. How about the royal family and the Cui family each take a step back? We’ve already made our concessions. What more do you want, Cui? I dare to ask. His Majesty is only six years old. How can there be a crown prince? Isn’t this decree invalid? Please be at ease, Cui. The crown prince is here. Zixing is here to see Your Majesty. And Your Highness. Get up. Thank you, Your Majesty. This is the third son of Prince of Wuyan. Liu Zixing. From now on, he will stay long in the palace as His Majesty’s course company. When he reaches twenty years old, he will be the crowned Prince. Cui, are you satisfied with this Crown Prince? Grand Mentor. It’s better to have this decree than without it. Thank you, Your Majesty. [De’an Hall] Take them all away. Yes. Be careful. Stop! Stop! Your Highness. The Empress Dowager Gao family has been executed. [Years later] That’s a big family. The Cui family is the leader of all the clans north of the river. Our dynasty’s title was decided after Cui proposed it to the emperor at that time. That’s powerful. That’s right. Stop the carriage. You didn’t have your lunch? [Cui Feng] He’s the one who gave up his royal last name to lead troops and protect the country. Don’t you want to see him by this? You already told me. He has fought all over the country as a teen and never lost a battle. Don’t you feel curious about such a man? You also told me. He had many other famous battles. Flooding Jiang State. The fierce battle of Shuo State. Six battles in Dai State. These are all great battles that can be written in the military books and remembered for generations to come. All right. I’ve said all of them. You don’t want to leave the family. As your elder brother, I understand. So I stay and join the army to accompany you. Father has already agreed. I don’t have to inherit the family business anyway. If I can stay under the command of Jr. Prince of Nanchen to toughen myself, I’m sure there’s no reason for Father to disagree. Now you feel happy? Simple girl. [Western State] [Western State] I’m Zhou Tianxing. Greetings to you two. Cui Shou from the Cui family. This is the young lord. We’ve won a great victory at the border. Master has returned to the city. He will arrive tomorrow. All distinguished guests, please follow me back to the royal mansion. The clan chief has orders that we should all stay at the post before paying respect to the master. We won’t need to bother you, General Zhou. But Master ordered this in person. It’s just a couple of days. General Zhou. Let’s go to the posthouse first. All right, please. Let’s go. Let’s go. [Western State] [Western State] [Qing’an Post] General Zhou. When will His Highness return? He’ll be here before dawn for sure. Master likes to review the royal military parade the most when the sun rises in the east. This has been his habit for many years. Shall I have a chance to see it? You are not a member of the royal mansion. I’d like to take my sister to see it. We won’t disturb them. We’ll just watch from the city from afar. At dawn, take this [Nanchen] and tell the soldiers who are guarding the city I’m the one who takes you there. Thank you, General Zhou. I’ll take my leave now. Take care, General. [Qing’an Post] Auntie. Don’t fall sound asleep at night. When you hear the bamboo whistle, come out and find me. I’ll take you to see the master. Let’s go. How do you feel? Are you sleepy? [Daxing Gate] Who is it? Don’t be afraid. This is General Zhou’s token. He allows us to go up to the city tower to watch the sunrise parade of the army. If you don’t trust us, you can keep watch on us. Please. Thank you. [Western State] The one who will step on that platform is your future master. He’s coming! He’s there! ♫The shadow lingers, the sudden downpour comes♫ ♫Been long waiting♫ ♫Picked up a dream, coming for whom♫ ♫My concern is put on the inkstone♫ Witnessed by the world, loyally stick to the righteousness. ♫Can’t bear it, my heart is burning♫ Witnessed by the world, loyally stick to the righteousness. ♫The dependence I feel♫ Witnessed by the world, loyally stick to the righteousness. ♫I’m suffering with you♫ Witnessed by the world, loyally stick to the righteousness. ♫Suffered so much from this sea of pain♫ ♫I can leap down for you♫ At the daybreak of the long night, the armies march together. ♫Stain my painful love red♫ ♫The rivers and mountains, the ostentatious world♫ The smoke of wolf’s dung rises, the yellow sand fills the sky. ♫Swords and horses, leave the dust of this world behind♫ This is the real Zhousheng Chen, ♫Stories scatter like smoke and flowers♫ This is the real Jr. Prince of Nanchen, who has thousands of courtiers and takes charge 700,000 troops. ♫The snow falling, the sand flying♫ Were we two of one mind or did I fall in love? ♫It’s hard to leave him unattached♫ At that time, I didn’t know these. I was just shocked by what I saw. Who are you? Shiyi, don’t be afraid. How dare you go up to the gate tower without permission? Speak up! Xiaoyu, don’t scare them. Yes, Master. [Nanchen Royal Mansion] Who we saw under the gate this morning are from the Cui family. Were there two of them? A man and a woman. The man is older. That must be him. I gave the token to the third son of the Cui family. He said he admired you and wanted to see you watch the parade. I thought he was a spy. I almost caught him. Thanks to master’s recognition, otherwise you would have been in trouble this time. Master, sorry I did that. It’s okay. When is the master worship banquet? The day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow. Make it simple. Yes. Take your time. Shiyi is from [Feng Qiao] a well-known family. She’s a girl of courtesy. Don’t be so fussy when you’re working. Take and put the things away gently. Don’t even make footsteps. Okay. I’ve also heard that they don’t even show their teeth when they smile. Smile. General, I don’t smile well. I should hide. I’ll work in the back. Go. Go. General Feng. [Xie Yun] What? General Feng, what are you doing? I’m training my soldiers to save the dignity of the royal family. Do you know, General Feng? Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you. No, General Xie, slow down. Don’t do what? General Cui and the 2,000 family soldiers will stay here to protect you in Western State. Once you’re in the royal mansion, be careful what you say and do. Don’t disgrace the reputation of our family. Your Highness. Mrs. Cui. This is…? This is Cui Feng. Cui Feng, pay your respects to His Highness. Your Highness. There’s no need to be overcourteous. Please come inside. Shiyi? You’re called Eleven at home, aren’t you? That’s good. I already have ten disciples I’ll call you Eleven, too. Is that alright? He didn’t call himself a prince. but “I” instead. What a strange person. What’s to do next? Bow down one more time? Get up. There aren’t many rules in the Nanchen Royal Mansion. Don’t be so concerned about the rituals of master worship. This is your senior sister. If you have any problems in the future, just come to her. Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived, saying they’ve brought gifts from His Majesty. Let them in. Yes, sir. Greetings, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Miss Cui. Someone! These two pieces are the royal gifts from His Majesty. What if I still won’t accept them this time? His Majesty said he is the emperor. You’re supposed to accept the gifts. His Majesty also said these two pieces were given to you and your disciple. Choose the ones you like and just take them. Then I will have to thank His Majesty. Tianxing. I’m here. Take these to Eleven’s courtyard. Yes. Please. His Majesty also sent a painter this time, meaning to make a portrait of Miss Cui which is to be sent to the Eastern Palace in the future. Xiaoyu. Take Eleven and the painter to my study. Yes. Gentlemen, this way please. I have something to talk to His Highness. All of you, please leave. Yes. Mrs. Cui, please. This is Cui Shou. This time he has led the 2,000 soldiers of our family and wanted to stay in Western State to protect my daughter. I hope Your Highness will allow him to do so. All right. I will order someone to place them. Thank you, Your Highness. General Cui. Do you want to cultivate the fields? Fields? My army do farming normally. When it’s not war time, they cultivate their own fields. Then General Cui shall follow the custom. Yes. There’s one more thing. Cui Feng has admired you since he was a child. He wants to follow you into battles. I have a letter of recommendation from my brother. No need to show me the letter of recommendation. As long as the young lord is not afraid of death, he can join the army at any time. I thought I’d have to go through a lot of trouble talking about this. I never refuse someone from a famous family who wants to join the army. As for whether he can stay or not, it depends on his own ability. There is one last thing. It’s about Eleven? Your Highness, you’ve met her. Shiyi has been like this since she was a child. She can’t speak. Is it a disease or… Since her father left home, she has been ill. Maybe it’s a real illness. Maybe it’s a psychological disease. It’s so lifelike. Good. You’ve done a great job, Miss. Cui. Shiyi, say goodbye to your mother. Study hard. Once a teacher, always a teacher. Listen to your master. Remember. Your Highness, farewell. From now on, I will not be by your side anymore. You must get used to it. [Nanchen Royal Mansion] At the same age as her, Master is already a great general. She still can’t let go of her mother. You’ve come a long way. Rest for a few days. Master. Why don’t I take her back to the courtyard first? Go. Yes. Wait. You just came to the royal mansion. I’d better take you there myself. If anyone dares to bully my sister again, I’ll hunt him down. Two pieces of news. His Highness has agreed to let me join the army. I can go with the army now. Second. Tonight I will patrol the camps outside the city with General Hong. I won’t be able to accompany you. I can be alone. Don’t worry, brother. If you feel lonely, and like to read books, there is a library in the backyard of the royal mansion. You can go there and take a look. Thank you, Feng Qiao. Then take care of yourself. We’ll leave now. Let’s go, General Hong. No trespassing to His Highness’ study. What is it? I… You may leave first. Yes. Your Highness, Miss. Cui is missing. The daughter from a powerful family is missing at night. If word gets out, it will sabotage her reputation. I dare not say anything. I can only come to you. Don’t panic. She’ll be fine in the royal mansion. I’ll go and look for her now. [Library] Why did you come to the library? You’re homesick? Your senior brothers and sisters always treat the royal mansion as their own home. Although they call me “Master”, we all treat each other as family. You don’t have to be so reserved. I don’t usually live in the royal mansion for a long time. When I was not in the royal mansion, the library was always locked. Since you like it, I’ll leave this key to you from now on. Consider it a gift for today’s master worship. You forget what I said during the day? No need to be overcourteous. Go back and rest. [Nanchen Royal Mansion] In the study? Looking for Master? What do you want? Take the morning salute. Master. She… What is it? She wants to pay her respects to you. Pay her respects? You… have to pay courtesy call every day? To Your Highness. As a disciple, she must not neglect her morning and evening visits. Have to be once in the morning, once in the evening? Not once can be saved? It’s a must. What else? What? I’m asking how many manners her mother has taught her? That’s a lot. There are many things in terms of words, food, washing, traveling, sitting and lying down. If… If she wants to see me in the study, how many rules does she have to go through? Before entering, she should knock three times to inform the master. She shall not sit inside but stand respectfully to the left of the master. When the master asks her to sit, she shall resist. She can only sit down after the master asks her to sit three times in a row. Forget about these. As the old saying goes, “A disciple serves his master with the same respect as his father.” How can I forget? There is only one rule here. That is, to carry out military orders. Forget about everything else. If you teach her that, the Cui family should detest you. Now that they’re in Western State, Cui can’t control it anymore. [Library] Shiyi. What are you doing? Sorting out the ancient books. Who told you to do that? Wasn’t it you? Master asked me to manage the library. Naturally, I have to take care of the books. I gave you the key, so that you can come here whenever you want. There is no other good place in the mansion. Only the library left by my aunt is somewhat interesting. I came here to learn from you, not to have fun. I know. Then why didn’t you teach me? I haven’t figured out how to teach you yet because you are the first pupil I’ve ever had literally. What is it, Your Highness? You’re unsettled? I’ve never had a pupil before. Aren’t Xiaoyu and the others all your disciples? They call me “Master” because I want to give them a home so that they have an excuse to stay in the royal mansion. I never preached and taught. In that case, it’s true. So… You were once Grand Mentor. Your Highness. That was 20 years ago. You should have something to pass on anyway. No. The ones I taught were royal sons. I didn’t once teach daughters of noble families. No, no. In the residence of Cui, what did she learn already? To Your Highness. Other than etiquette, she didn’t learn anything else. But she likes to read. She always studied at the academy since she was young. Did her uncle once say what he wanted her to learn? No martial arts, but anything else works. She doesn’t want to learn martial arts in the royal mansion. Does she just want to get a title of disciple? Have someone prepare the zither in the study. Prepare the zither? Master, you can play this? What? You think I don’t know how to play? We really thought you were only good at martial arts. In the past, in Central State, His Highness was often criticized on etiquette. But in terms of talent, no one was as good as His Highness. You. Watch and learn. The instruments here are all heirlooms. One of them was used by His Highness when he was a child. After the late emperor passed away, it was sent to Western State. His Highness asked you to choose for yourself. Which is the one Master once used? Are you asking me which is the one His Highness used? This one. It’s called the High Wind. The high wind raises the waves, like the rising fields in the mountains.
