[Music] [Music] [Music] I [Music] [Music] was the [Music] down to [Music] need a show. Mr. The way your calligraphy is elegant and refined just like your character. Even the ink smells fragrant. It suits you perfectly. You flatter me. Yeah. With grandmother’s birthday banquet approaching. Some simple preparations. I didn’t mean to show my poor skills before you. I’ve run out of ink sticks. I’ll go fetch some. [Music] Wait, wait a minute. I came today to thank you personally. I have done nothing for you. There is no need to thank me. In the past, I held some misunderstandings about you for the people of Rangjung. to relieve the famine there. You even wrote to your family for wheat seeds. I also learned you study the local records of Rang Jung and included in your letter the local climate rainfall and the people’s preferences all for obtaining the suitable seeds. Yet I was narrowminded to seek outside [Music] aid who read a letter to me word by word. I’d never have known how righteous and devoted you are. My thank you. [Music] This is too much. We Leang must have known all along. I even helped him calculate how to transport grain to Rang Jung. Will you be quiet? Stop making things worse. I just can’t bear to see her being treated this way. She married far from home and merely confided. But he even insisted on inspecting that. Reading it was one thing, but to read it to his cousin. Exactly. Prepare the ink. I’m sending another letter to Yel again. My lord, Mrs. Ways sent another letter to Yenjo, right? You did come here. All right, Mrs. W’s letter. I’ll give you a chance. Why don’t you read it? Well, no need to read it. I can pretty much guess what it says. Probably about the famine in R Jung and things like that. Still cares for me. My throat’s sore. You read it here. Take it to me. I haven’t read much. There are words I don’t know. I’ll check later. I’ve always told you to read more books, but you never listened. Now, even the simple My Lord, no need to read this letter. Indeed, didn’t I already say? Can pretty much guess what’s written. Some flattering words. Something like my lord cares for all under heaven. Yeah. Is a blessing for the people. Ah, that’s about. Forget it. Don’t read it. Ken, send it to Angel. It can’t be sent to Yanjo. It has your name on it. It must not be sent. Let me see it. Give it to me. What’s gotten into you today? [Music] Mom, call me your anger about you checking the letters. Indeed, it was your fault. Yes, that’s right. Don’t act rashly. That’s right, my lord. Worst hide in the study tonight to avoid the storm at home. Right. Hide? Are you serious? I must confront [Music] her. That fierce woman is getting bolder. [Music] [Music] I’ve had a long day at work. I’m tired. I’ll rest now. Overseeing everything yourself. No wonder you’re exhausted. Yes. Work hard these days preparing for the banquet. Some rest. [Music] The menu for grandmother’s birthday banquet. Please a look. But you can decide on your own. Such a small matter. I only just came here. Oh, tastes and taboos. Still don’t know everyone’s. If I prepared something that displeased someone, it would be inappropriate. It’s best if you check it yourself. [Music] Fine. [Music] Everything looks excellent. No complaints. She gets some race and the banket purchase accounts. Please have a look. If any discrepancies appear on the day, it would not be proper. Everything is detailed. [Music] [Music] No problem. When I was preparing invitations, I wasn’t sure which character to use. There are eight styles in this scroll. Please look them over and decide. We shall pick it [Music] up. Papa, what did you just call me? Doesn’t matter. Why did you read my letters? You How dare you call me B? Listen up. You were fierce enough before. Now you’re also rude and disrespectful. I have nothing to say to [Music] you. Only I would have married you. Count yourself lucky for that. Come back here. You’ll know better yourself. Suspicious all day. If you can’t win an argument, you just run off. There are plenty who want me. Smaller eyes and even smaller heart. Tall is the only good thing about you. [Music] You dare throw it at me. I I’m going to let that go. Then what now? Why wouldn’t [Music] I? Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Watch from the sidelines. Report any new developments immediately. Yes, [Music] her that young lady to call Jungl. How interesting. My lady, would you like to try some first? If someone’s done wrong, isn’t it just a matter of apologizing? What’s wrong with him? Yeah, first he slept in the study and now he won’t even come home for meals. So petty. Stop bad mouthing him. When he returns, you mustn’t show him attitude. Understood. I wouldn’t dare. My lady, when he returns, speak with him properly. There’s nothing can be talked out. We live under his roof now. Best to get by peacefully. I know what I’m doing. Yes, my lady. T is here. Let him in. Yes, my lady. My wild lord sons Wjo. He won’t return for the meal. See, he’s clearly avoiding her. My lady didn’t say a word, but he’s playing the victim. Enough. Bring me brush and ink. I must write to cousin now. Lest she write anything important in her next [Music] letter. Dear cousin, since your husband tooka matters in Yojun have been many. So I haven’t written until now. But lord of way and I miss you deeply. Find peace and joy in Boya. If you run into trouble, just write to me and I see the letter. We’ll send someone to Boya right away. [Music] General, you’ve worked hard today. How’s the construction going? Oh, is well, fine. Don’t worry. Is this a letter from Mrs. Wei? She must be reminding us again to live well in Buoa. My man said, “Now that Yanja has taken Boya, so the Lord of Wei is worrying.” She reminded me to be cautious in our future letters. [Music] My lord, Mrs. Weey gave me this. She said it’s a suture copied for Lady Shu and asked you to review it. Even the suture needs my review. Mrs. Wei said it must be checked by you. if there are any errors and might upset Lady Chu. That fierce woman, she never lets things go. She also asks when you’ll be returning today. Go tell her. I’ll sleep in the study tonight. The study window is drafty. You couldn’t sleep because of the cold. You might catch a chill. My lord. Greetings, my lord. When did you return? and came straight here to report good news. What good news? My lord, the yawning canal is now open. I haven’t slacked off a bit. He personally copied down the details and asked me to bring them back for your review. Is trying to claim credit? The benefits of abundant water. Yand’s prosperity all owes to water. Yield is high with many tillers. Each grain full and heavy. Taste is excellent. This is wheat from Paneer. And this is from [Music] Tindu. The mayor said now that the canal is open as good as pane is. [Music] If it it brings such [Music] benefits that ease future concerns. If we keep improving irrigation, we’ll need to invest more people and funds and that will draw on Wei’s troops. If Yanja invades now, we may not protect itself. My lord, are you worried the Kiao clan might benefit from this? and may you my lord there’s no need to fear the kioan so much might prolong yanjao’s fate by years but it’s the common people of rangjung who truly benefit for generations in [Music] way let me think it [Music] My lord, outside the city tonight. If we don’t leave now, we might delay our duties. If there’s nothing else now. Well, just a go. Let’s go. My lord, you haven’t returned home this late. Are you still fretting about the latter? How could that be possible? There’s no such thing. Glad to hear that. Mrs. We should be waiting for you to return home. Yeah, maybe. Very well. I’ll take my leave now. Suddenly, it occurs to me. It’s been a long while since I last visited Madam at your home. It’s all right. Really? Boo. No. No. This is no better time than now. How about this? I’ll drop by for a short visit and greet her. Let’s go, sir. Very well. Yeah. Who would have thought he’d keep us this late? Only taverns are still open. Taverns are great. Is ground. Time to see more. Where to? My lord. And your own duty. My lord. It’s my fault. My lord, they meant well to welcome me. Just punish me. Punish me. It’s my mistake. I shouldn’t have done it. My idea. Punish me enough. [Music] My treat. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, my lord. My lord, where are we heading now? We’ve been walking for a while. You see, grandmother like we went to bed hours ago. It’s so late now. Would still be buzzing. [Music] [Music] Since I came of age, I’ve never suffered like this. Always surrounded by beauties yet by my side. I came with good intentions to return home. I’m staying the [Music] night. Just one night. You’re being stingy, cousin. I didn’t mean to blame you. I just wanted to know. Told her I read her letters. Even though I know see her as an outsider and never fully trust her. I don’t believe Kiao and we have ever truly trusted each other. I wanted to know when it come to canal construction, are they really free of other [Music] motives? As for the canal, I’ve made my decision. I believe your heart has made its choice. Jungle, do you still kick off your quilt when you [Music] sleep? Get some sleep. [Music] Please hair kill the lord of way for bean’s peace. I’ve noticed tension between Junglan and Lady Kio. Just wait patiently, a while longer, and we can shatter their alliance in one blow. If he starts canal construction in Rang Jung, Ways around Bayanjou on all sides. But if Lord of We falls, Bianjol will have nothing more to fear. This is a plan for the long term. No, he stays in your residence. I’ve laced his tea. hair. Please do not let mercy spoil this chance to eliminate our foe to break the Kway alliance. I have no object. Even if you intend to poison Lady K, I will not interfere. But I’ve made it clear to him. No one may take my cousin’s life. Absolutely not. You consider yourself part of the Wei clan, but they don’t see it that way. You are gifted in strategy and marshall skill, yet they’ve humiliated you for years. They spread rumors. You were a servant’s illegitimate child, so you’d never be trusted or promoted. Oh, unjustice is un the reunion with your father. Who knows how long you’d have to suffer. Grandmothers treated me with kindness. Yes, you were raised by Lady Shu, and she never intervened in your matters, nor has she ever reproached you. Yet, she is strict with the Lord of Way. And you see her intentions. She was guarding against you to stop you from gaining military power. Say no more about my grandmother. If you dare bring this up again, I won’t let you return Bianto alive. [Music] [Music] Leave. Asking the governor for whe seats. Uncle is always calculating. Whenever help is needed from him, he tends to make excuses. He fears any loss to himself. I must write him another letter to stress how serious this is. He must not take this lightly. I don’t understand. He trusts you so little. Why are you helping Ranjun get wheat seeds? Appreciate your efforts. How do you think he treats me? It’s inconsistent in front of way Yan and Lady Zu. He protects you. He treats you quite well. But when it comes to the latter incident, his methods were despicable. So he treated you terribly. It means he keeps work and home apart. Trouble for mother and cosen are family matters after all. He can stand up for his wife and trust her fully. But my letter to Yao involving the safety of Wei, that is state business. As the lord of We, he carries the hopes of the common people. Of course, he can’t fully trust the Kia clan of Yanja. Though you’re angry with him, you’re still compartmentalized. The wheat while high yielded requires a great deal of water. Sar canal construction in Rangja. [Music] Very well. Send out my orders. The canal in Rang Jung must be scheduled. Generals, a moment, please. [Music] That requires your decision, my lord. Go ahead, sir. General Wayo, what kind of man is Yang Fang? He is fast at saving money. What do you mean? And Jenji were each tasked with building canals. One in Tindu, the other in Pan. Pine’s canal was completed much faster. Uh shorter construction means lower cost based on terrain, soil and weather. Turning waste into treasure, my lord, affects tens of thousands but not in waterworks. As of now, we have no suitable overseer. Sir, are you recommending Yangfang? Yangfang is not only cost-effective but also a trusted aid of Mrs. Wi. If you appoint him, it would be seen as a gesture of trust toward Mrs. Wei and Yanj. It has nothing to do with her. Yes. Yes. I think uh the greater good uncle sister just wants wheat seeds as a birthday gift. Why are you making it so difficult? You don’t understand. Call it a birthday gift if you want. This is stripping Yenjo’s foundation. It way widely adopts the wheat. They’ll grow wealthy within years. They won’t turn their armies against us by then. That’s overly severe. The Pi clans are now allies and tied by marriage as well. Such things won’t happen. With Sisa there, she’d never have to start war. Mmon’s always being clever. She knows how important it’s to Yanja. If it weren’t urgent or of great benefit, she wouldn’t have written to ask for it. Just give it to her. Don’t make things harder for her. Father and I are both in Kenj. She’s thinking of Yenjo’s interests. All right. When father was alive, he often aided way as well. Since Memon insists on the seeds, then let her have them. You truly carry the spirit of Lord Kiao. [Music] [Music] No, you’re [Music] back. Seeing you study the map reminds me that there’s news you may not know yet. to start canal construction from Tindu to Rang Jung. [Music] How wise of you. I have pondered this matter for a long time, but in the end, I’ve chosen to follow your advice. Are you pleased now? And what does adviser think? As for the advisor, I’ve tried to persuade him and he has no other objections. So this was advisor’s idea all along. I must thank him. Also, I’ve decided to appoint Yangfang as overseer of the canal works. I know Yongfang is your clans, which makes me more grateful to advise her. [Music] This canal project touches upon both Yanja and V. If you have any thoughts, share them with me. You are wise enough to make your own decisions, my lord. [Music] report. My lord [Music] Uncle, I’m tired [Music] today, so I won’t keep you any [Music] longer. The longevity hall on Mount Y collapsed were crushed beneath the ruins. No one survived. [Music] Yadia is truly apicious. It seems to ward off misfortune. There was no earthquake or a heavy storm. So why did the hall collapse? Someone plundered this in secret with hidden intentions. Uncle, I’m tired today, so I won’t keep you any longer. [Music] Shall I call the physician? It’s nothing, darling. Don’t worry. Although I do not know if this Huadian can help one rule the land, what I truly wish for is that this Hadian brings blessings and keeps my darling safe and healthy. You will recover. I promise. Having you by my side is truly my greatest fortune. [Music] If you have worries, please share them with me. A scout reported two days ago that way plans to connect the Yonging Canal directly to Rang Jun. A canal means grain transport and swift military movements if they come. Bjo will truly in grave danger. I am willing to visit Yung to resolve this matter. Darling, do you know is my great [Music] hunt? I was raised in the way household as a child. The grief of the whi [Music] clan. Now with but a subtle word I can stir old grudges. The kio [Music] alliance jungle. What’s planted here? It is millet. Shi, do you know? I only know so makes rich wine while millet brings a sweet aroma. But as for this one, I don’t know its taste. You wander all over. Yet you don’t know about grains. That I could answer easily. Nonsense. [Music] Lady, that’s what we usually call Foxdale Millet. Speaking of raising children, I am not as good as your grandfather, Lord Kio. Any difficulties? [Music] I have already started arranging the guest seating. The guest lists have been sent to each region. Grandmother, no worries. Anything I don’t know I’ve asked mother but there’s actually a lot to it and closeness of ties privately so they want to sit together so they must be seated far apart there can’t be any mistakes in this people will quietly complain I have a guest from Bianjo who’s not on the list she is a junior I know well could it He Lady Yolo. Yes. Close to me. I’ll attend to her with care. We eat you here. I’m at ease. Mother. So Ewang is coming too. It’s been years since I saw her. I wonder how she’s changed back then. I truly adored [Music] her. My lady, I found something out. Just as you predicted, there is a reason Lady Ru praised Lady Yolo so highly. Turns out she was once betrothed away. My lord always seems so proper. He’s hiding some old affections from you. You can’t judge by appearances. My lady, please don’t be upset. I’m not upset. I’m just thinking the lord of Chenang has always been frail. He nearly passed not long ago. Many renowned physicians saved him. Now, Lady Ulu arrives in Eugon for the birthday celebration. It all feels rather suspicious. Saved him. This is just the globe before death. All the elders know this. Well, Lady Yolo is about to become a widow. True beauty yet faded to suffer. Suffer? I’m afraid she’s unusually fortunate. I’ve heard Shan seeks her advice on many affairs in Banjo. Of course, he does. She carries an empress’s fate. They say whoever marries her will become ruler of the central plains. If that’s the case, since we didn’t wed her, he can’t claim the central plains. Who knows what he was thinking? What he thinks doesn’t matter now. What matters is knowing what Lady Ula’s real purpose [Music] is. There is Lady Yulo. So noble. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
