The Prisoner of Beauty Episode 18

Choosing gifts and star gazing

The generals have gone along with plans to fake an attack from traitor Wei’s assassins. The prefect believes he has been rescued by General Liang. The traitor is dealt with before he can gather troops and the soldiers have been promised no punishment if they assist in building the canal. Everything is going smoothly and Lady Wei is pleased with the progress and wants WeiShao to reward her. He goes to town with his generals and all of them give him ideas for what to buy for her. They were actually sweet and thoughtful gifts but he tossed them all aside. 😂 He comes back with a receipt for 500 steeds very pleased with his purchase. She could not have pouted any more over the very thought but his suggestions of replacement were even worse so she cut her losses with the horses. Her maid reminds her that the men in her family will be very pleased to receive such gifts if she sends them home.🤣 Lady Wei then carefully plans a night of stargazing and dresses up and starts pointing out stars. First her husband bundles her up like a child and then he invited the canal planners to join them. The engineer immediately understands her intent and says three is a crowd. So Wei Shao tells Lady Wei she can go back early. The next day the prefect then tells Wei Shao that his daughter wants to marry one of his generals. We all thought the romance had budded between her and the lady’s man general, however, she wants to marry the maid’s general. This was unexpected. Lady Wei tells her husband straight up that he wouldn’t accept it. He has no clue about his general’s personal preference for the maid and says she is wrong. She then challenges him to a wager. The general of course refuses and now he is in hot water with the maid. General Liang tells her a rather lengthy tale about the weapon miniatures they all carry and the significance of them. She is not impressed and annoyed he is talking so much when he hands her his and says he wants her to have it. Wei Shao has to admit defeat to the wager and now to see what the prize will be. I know that Wei Shao is not street smart with women and seduction. That is actually part of his appeal. However, he can’t be completely ignorant of what his wife wants from him, so I am hoping they start acting married soon rather than jr high school crush stage😝
