Princess Jieyou (解忧公主/Jiěyōu gōngzhǔ/Jie You Gong Zhu)

Who will spend three lifetimes of excitement

to exchange for the staggered shores of your memories?

When the leaves turn green and endless years have passed

I will still wait for you to come find me

When the flower blooms, it doesn't see the leaf

When the leaf turns up, it doesn't see the flower

The only fear is of the long, endless horizon

If this is a deep love that won't be lost to the flying sand

Then I will live in solitude amidst the bustling world

Then let me live in solitude amidst the bustling world

Princess Jieyou

Episode 6

Jieyou. Jieyou.

Jieyou!

Somebody's coming.

The Emperor is eating lunch right now.

He will meet you one at a time in a little while.

Behave well. It will depend on your fortune now.

You are trembling.

Sister, I am really nervous.

I really don't want to be some heqin princess.

What if I get chosen?

So many princesses.

Who says you'll definitely be chosen?

Then what if I really do get chosen?

Since it has already come to this, you should be calm. Who knows who will end up being chosen?

Right now my hands and feet are clammy. My heartbeat is extremely fast.

When I go up for the meeting, I will definitely faint.

Faint? Isn't that better?

If you don't want to be this heqin princess,

when you meet the Emperor, cry really loudly. Throw a tantrum and cry. It's best if you cry to the extent of ruining your makeup.

Before you faint, remember to froth at the mouth.

Once the Emperor see this, he'll think that this princess won't do,

She definitely can't be the heqin princess. He obviously won't choose you.

Yes.

The matter of the marriage alliance will definitely benefit the Han Dynasty.

Jing Jun!

I'm here!

Emperor!

Audacious Jing Jun! Why do you decieve me over this marriage alliance?

Why do have a lowly girl replace you?

Spare me, Emperor! Spare me, Emperor!

I really am Jing Jun!

How dare you still lie?

Please calm down, Emperor. Please listen to me talk for a second.

This matter is not Jing Jun's fault; it's yours.

Nonsense!

Emperor, your subject wants to speak.

Talk.

This lady is truly not Princess Jing Jun, but she is the daughter of the traitor.

Lord Chu knows that she is the daughter of a traitorous court official.

But he still sends her into the palace to be selected for the heqin princess.

Such an act should deserve the death penalty.

This matter has nothing to do with Lord Chu. I wasn't here for the selection of heqin princess.

I was only here to keep Jing Jun company.

It's you, Emperor, who misidentified the princess!

The fault isn't with Lord Chu, Jing Jun, and much less me.

You are not above the law! How can you kill innocents?

B****. How can you be so audacious?!

You're arrogant words

are the first time I hear it spoken from a women's mouth.

Are you really not scared I'll kill you?

Who in this world is not scared of the Emperor? I am no exception.

But I feel that the Emperor, as the Father of the Country,

should love his citizens.

A girl who does not receive love and care from her father and becomes scared of him.

That proves that this father is not good.

Jing Jun.

You are dismissed.

Let's go! -You, stay behind!

What is your real name?

Liu Jie You.

Liu Jie You, good.

From this day forward,

I appoint Lord Chu's niece, Liu Jie You, as Princess Jie You.

You will be the heqin princess for the Han.

You will enter the Palace and accept this in 3 days.

Emperor, you are surely mistaken.

I...Liu Jie You, aside from performing street acts,

I don't know anything.

You want me to be the heqin princess?!

Isn't that equivalent to asking a sow to walk a tightrope and a bear to jump through a ring of fire?

It won't do!

Not only that, I've wandered the world with the troupe.I'm used to being wild.

How can I be married to Wusun and carry children and be a mother?

In this world, there are some things that can be chosen.

There are some things that cannot be chosen.

Those that can be chosen is called opportunity, and those that can't is called destiny.

Destiny?

Jieyou!

Who was chosen? Was it Princess Jing Jun?

Say something! Do you want to frustrate me to death?

Me. What do you mean you? I'm asking you who got chosen!

Me!

You?

You were chosen?

That's enough, Jie You. Stop messing around! Tell me the truth!

I'm not messing with you. Ah Cai,

I don't have the energy to say half a word. Stop smiling already.

General.

What are you thinking about?

Ah Cai, do all men really like to lie?

Why do you ask that?

I think

Men are beasts.

Who are you talking about?

I'm not talking about anyone. I want to escape.

Escape?

Huai-Brother Huai?

Can you please return to your room, princess?

I want to return to the troupe.

I'm not returning to Chu Manor. I'm not some princess. I'm only a commoner girl.

Please, please. Get out of way.

Can you please return to your room, princess?

You are really a weird person.

Two days ago, you made me run away with you.

Now you block me from leaving.

Two days ago, I made you run away

because I was afraid Princess Jing Jun would harm you.

Two days later, I block you from leaving

because I'm afraid you leaving would harm the Han.

If I have offended, I ask for your forgiveness.

Then what if I insist on leaving?

There will only be one result tonight. That will be you returning to your room.

I don't believe you. Lets go!

Last night, Jieyou tried to escape.

I already subdued her at Chu Manor.

I assigned twenty men to watch her day and night.

The matter of escape will not happen again. Please don't worry, Emperor.

Very good.

Jieyou, oh, Jieyou. She is a girl of fiery temperament.

I'm afraid she won't give up without a fight. You should still be cautious.

Be alert.

I do not want any accidents to occur.

There must not be any mistakes in this matter.

You are dismissed.

Tian Sha.

Yes

Have you heard what I just told you? What are you thinking about?

Nothing. I was just absent-minded for a while. Please be merciful, Emperor.

There is no crime to be punished.I believe you are weary of heart and tired.

You ust be overtaxed. Hurry back and rest.

Thank you, Emperor.

Have you really thought it through?

I've had this personality since I was a child.

Thing I don't want to do, I would rather die than do.

I don't want to change and I won't.

But being a mute is more painful than being wed to faraway Wusun.

I would much rather be a carefree and happy mute,

than a bird in a cage who can sing.

Brother Huai. Why do you have to follow my every step?

It's my destiny! Why do I have to hand it over to someone else to decide?

Destiny?

Is not up to me and you.

Why?

Destiny, why does a commoner girl have to be responsible for the country's destiny?

Why?!

What are you doing, General Huai?

I'm taking you away.

Leave?

You aren't even afraid of being called a traitor's child. Why are you afraid of your destiny?

I will give you freedom.

Ah Cai, you stay behind.

No matter who asks you, you have to pretend that you know nothing.

Let's go!

Ah Cai!

Jieyou!

Brother Huai. Even though I don't know why your original intention,

but you favor and kindness, I will remember.

Without me, you won't be able to leave.

You really want to take me out of here?

What is your reason?

Opposing the Emperor's will, A/N: can be translated to heaven's will or destiny

My destiny is already like this. It's not worth it to drag you into this.

Whether or not it's worth it is up to me.

Let's go!

Ah Sheng!

Jieyou! Jieyou! You're finally back!

I thought you wouldn't miss us.

Don't let anybody know we're here.

What happened?

Listen up, everybody! Pack up everything tonight. It will be best if you can dress up as merchants.

Tomorrow, in the early morning, when the city's gate opens,

Jieyou will leave with all of you.

No way! If the Emperor figures out and start pursuing. They will all die.

I will stay here one night. At sunrise, I will leave by myself.

Lord Chu, Princess, I really don't know anything.

How can you not know? The guards of Chu Manor is diligent.

Without your help, how can she run away?

I have always been in the rear garden picking flowers.

When I returned to the room, Jieyou was already gone.

Lord Chu, I really don't know anything. I'm innocent!

You were picking flowers in the rear garden in the dead of the night.

Who would believe your ridiculous lies?

She already abandoned you without a care. Why are you still protecting her?

Tell me her location.

Or else I'll tell my Lord Father to use force.

Princess, I really don't know!

Lord Chu! Lord Chu! I really don't know!

Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of my Lord Father. Start!
