Episode 10 recap: Yu Minghe learned that Liu Yueqing and Pei Xun were going to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.
The next day, Yu Minghe came to find Pei Xun and apologized for his drunken behavior and inappropriate actions from the previous day. Pei Xun didn't say much in response. Yu Minghe noticed a lantern on Pei Xun's table and asked if Pei Xun had gone to the Lantern Festival yesterday. Pei Xun confirmed that he had attended. Yu Minghe recognized the handwriting on the lantern and realized it belonged to Liu Yueqing.
Pei Hao's guard discovered that Pei Xun had gone out to play with a woman and quickly informed Pei Hao. Initially, Pei Hao didn't pay much attention, but upon learning that the woman was Liu Yueqing, who was now engaged to Yu Minghe, and that Yu Minghe was currently working in the Eastern Palace, he found the situation quite interesting. Pei Hao called Yu Minghe over. Upon hearing about the situation, Pei Xun didn't concern himself too much, but he had come to understand during this time that Yu Minghe was not a single-minded person.
Pei Hao informed Yu Minghe that his men had seen Liu Yueqing and Pei Xun together at the Lantern Festival, suggesting that Liu Yueqing was originally engaged to Pei Xun but broke off the engagement for unknown reasons. Pei Hao speculated that Yu Minghe, who was now working with Pei Xun, likely had his own ulterior motives. He even suggested that the previous night, Liu Yueqing and Pei Xun might have rekindled their old relationship.
Yu Minghe became angry upon hearing this, and Pei Hao expressed that he had always admired Yu Minghe's talent.
Pei Xun Quotes:
1. "A prince who doesn't strive for the throne is not a good prince." (So he confidently pursued his ambitions, ultimately leading to his own demise and successfully obtaining the exclusive item "A Glass of Poison Wine from 1982.")
2. "The only person I want to marry is Liu Yue Qing." (Only wanting to marry one person, like drawing water from a vast river.)
3. "For many years, I've been dreaming of a woman." (Searching for her amidst the crowd, but suddenly looking back, there she is, in the dimly lit place.)
4. "You gave me a cuckold's hat." (Thanks for the invitation, unexpectedly becoming a father and receiving a fake cuckold's hat.)
5. "But my intuition tells me that you were always meant to be mine." (This is a man's sixth sense, not up for debate.)
6. "As long as you're willing, I'll propose at any time." (With a flock of geese, with wealth, I'll go find my bride.)
Due to his reckless actions in the previous life, he successfully earned the title of "Death-Provoking King" and now finds himself hanging on the edge of a cliff with one hand, all because he wants to hold his bride.
Riding a horse in the late night, with a heroic and handsome appearance, kneeling in the rain, "Qing Qing, come and accompany me." So eager to meet, but incompatible in their first encounter.
Let's think twice before saying goodbye. So much love.
