Wei Shao stares at Xiao Qiao in The Prisoner of Beauty Chinese Drama Episode 9. He thinks his wife didn’t tell a lie to him. He reveals her brother-in-law defeated Xue Tai. She’s surprised that Bi Zhi is so outstanding. She thinks her sister will have a good life.
But Xiao Qiao worries about it. Because she knows there will be many forces attacking Bi Zhi after he took Boya. She mentions her uncle doesn’t accept Bi Zhi because of Wei Shao. Wei Shao thinks it’s the style of Qiao family. He takes a look at the armrest. He asks her if she likes the present. She says that she likes it. She knows it was made by bamboo in the South. His smile is frozen.
Xiao Qiao claims that she didn’t use the armrest because she cherished it. Wei Shao tells her that it’s fine. He thinks it isn’t expensive when he opens the box. She finds out that it’s a jade armrest. She stops him before he leaves. She goes to take the pillow from the bed. She reveals she made a new pillow for him because she heard he has a headache. He takes over the pillow from her. He sees the little boys design on the pillow. He wonders what she means. He asks her if she embroidered it. She reveals she let Chun Niang do the job. But she chose the fabric. He shows her the design. She’s embarrassed. She explains it to him that she chose it because it’s soft. He thanks her and he leaves. Xiao Zao and Chun Niang return. Xiao Zao blames Wei Shao for letting Xiao Qiao study in the room. But Xiao Qiao scolds Xiao Zao and Chun Liang for not reporting to her about the design of the fabric.
Wei Shao returns to the palace when Gongsun Yang and the generals are anxious to wait for him. He conceals the pillow when the people are interested in it. He comforts Gongsun Yang that Qiao family won’t put a flag in Boya. He thinks Bi Zhi just wants to look for a place to stay. He decides to let it go because Bi Zhi can fight Xue Tai.
Bi Zhi and Wei Qu take the people to hunt in the forest. The spy picks up the arrow. Xue Tai runs out of his tent. He sees the scared birds. The spy reports to Xue Tai that the people were ordinary servants. He hands over the arrowhead to him. Xue Tai takes a look at the arrowhead. He wants to know Wei Shao’s intention. The deputy general persuades Xue Tai that Wei Shao and Bi Zhi are family. Xue Tai decides to retreat.
Da Qiao receives the message that Xue Tai retreated. Wei Qu is surprised that the general left. Bi Zhi thinks Wei Qu brought good luck to them. But Wei Qu thinks he didn’t do anything. Da Qiao worries that there will be enemies attacking them. She persuades her husband to put a flag on a mountain top. But he doesn’t know how to make a flag. Wei Qu thinks the task is very easy. He asks for a cloth.
Da Qiao lets her maid Xing Er go to look for the cloth. She wonders what word they should write on the flag. Wei Qu offers to write the word “Wei” on the flag. But Da Qiao worries that they will bring trouble to Wei Nation. Wei Qu remembers Wei Shao’s words that they shouldn’t make people misunderstand that they will attack Boya. Bi Zhi offers to write Da Qiao’s name “Qiao”. Da Qiao is very happy after knowing the good news. She asks Xing Er to go to take a few wines for thanking Wei Qu. She writes down the name “Qiao” on the flag. She takes a long breath.
Wei Qu takes his troops to leave Boya. He says goodbye to Da Qiao and Bi Zhi. The people cheer when they stand on the mountain top. Wei Qu comes back with the rice and the meat. Wei Shao teases his follower that he helped Qiao family put the flag. Wei Qu slaps himself. He mentions Wei Shao told him not to let others misunderstand Wei Nation. Wei Shao yells at Wei Qu. He thinks he forgot his name after he drank. Wei Liang gets on knees to Wei Shao for Wei Qu. He blames Qiao family. Wei Shao wishes Gongsun Yang to say something. But Gongsun Yang pretends to cough. He leaves the palace. Wei Liang blames Bi Zhi. He thinks the guy shouldn’t use his wife’s name. Wei Duo thinks it’s a misunderstanding. But Wei Shao doesn’t think so. He knows who’s the mastermind. Wei Qu realizes that Xiao Qiao did it. Wei Shao knows he underestimated his wife. He tells the followers to stay away from Qiao family. He thinks they will be fools if they’re close to the family.
Wei Shao decides to give up Boya. But he thinks he shouldn’t give it to Yan State for free. He mentions Xiao Qiao saved Qiao family. He walks to the map and he orders his followers to go to attack Xiaogang. Wei Qu reminds his master that the soldiers of Liangya Kingdom guard the city. Wei Shao claims that the city belonged to Wei Nation. But it was taken by Liangya Kingdom. He mentions Xiao Qiao gave Panyi to him but she let Bi Zhi take Boya. He thinks they don’t have to have troops in Panyi because Yan State has a new gate. He thinks they need to make a opening for Yan State if they want to deal with Qiao family. He thinks they can watch Bi Zhi if they get Boya and Xiaogang. He asks the four generals to go to gather their troops. He reminds Wei Qu that it’s a good chance to make up for his mistake. He asks him to collect Xiao Qiao’s letters.
Wei Shao leaves the palace. Wei Liang persuades the generals not to get married. He thinks the fights of the couple aren’t sincere. But Wei Xiao thinks he won’t be tricked. Xiao Tan brings the meat to Xiao Qiao. She’s surprised that Wei Shao came back so early. Wei Shao reveals the rice and the meat came from Boya.
Xiao Qiao learns that the food was given by Da Qiao. Wei Shao is touched after knowing Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao care for each other. But Xiao Qiao claims that she cannot eat it because it’s not lunchtime. Wei Shao tells his wife that he prepared it for thanking her for taking care of him. He puts the meat into her bowl. He claims that the chef intended to cook it for her.
Wei Liang is going to leave the city. He wonders if Xiao Tao is Qiao family. The gate is opened. Xiao Tao waves at Wei Liang. He sighs because he doesn’t want to see her. She tangles him and she asks him about Da Qiao. He tells her not to talk to him because his master told him that he will be a fool if he talks to Qiao family. But she doesn’t give up. He’s furious to tell her that his master asked them to attack Xianggang. He leaves.
Xiao Qiao cannot eat the meat. She thinks Wei Shao visited her for something. He asks her what she did these days. She reveals she studied some books. He asks her if she wrote some letters to her sister. She admits that she asked her sister to take care of herself. He wonders if she told her sister to put the flag in Boya. She says that she did it after she heard her brother-in-law defeated the bandits.
Wei Shao thinks Xiao Qiao is scheming. She smiles and she pretends not to understand what he says. He mentions she used the box to make him feel guilty for her. She points out that he should have felt guilty when he made mistakes. He thinks she used his guilt and made him care for her. She says that it wasn’t fake that she missed her sister. But he points out that it was fake that she likes Konghou. He mentions the music is terrible after she practiced so many days.
He suggests her that she can tell it to him if she wishes to get Boya. He blames her for using his man to send the letter for her. She’s very happy when she realizes that Bizhi made it. He yells at her and he tells her to look at her face in the mirror. He thinks she’s still the daughter of Qiao family even if she’s the daughter-in-law of Wei family. She points out that it’s a good thing that her brother-in-law helped Wei Nation get rid of the foe. She thinks it’s fine that Qiao family put on the flag. Because Qiao family and Wei family are same family. Xiao Qiao asks Wei Shao if he married her for acting. She mentions he had troops in Panyi. He thinks her mouth is so sharp. He tells her not to be arrogant even if she took a key place. He claims that he will put a blade on the neck of Qiao family forever.
Xiao Tao returns after Wei Shao left. She complains it to Xiao Qiao that Wei Liang thought they will be silly if they’re close to Qiao family. But Xiao Qiao says that what the general said is right. Xiao Tao reveals the army is going to go to attack Xiaogang. Xiao Qiao summons Chun Niang. She learns that Zhang Pu doesn’t return home because he’s sick.
Zhang Pu meets with Xiao Qiao. She asks him to go to Boya for sending a message to Da Qiao. He reluctantly suggests her that she should send a letter to Da Qiao. She reminds him that the case is very important. She asks him to explain the letter for Da Qiao and Bi Zhi. She reveals Wei Shao went to attack Xiaogang for suppressing Boya. She asks him to let Bizhi mine in Lian City. She gives him the map she marked. Zhang Pu takes a look at the map. He’s confused. Xiao Qiao leaks that their troops can arrive in Xiaogang within half day if they dig a secret passage at the place.
Wei Shao leads his troops to leave the city. Xiao Qiao sees him off. She’s taken to see Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is playing Go alone. She asks Xiao Qiao if she knows to pay Go. Xiao Qiao claims that she knows how to play it. But she doesn’t master it. Mrs. Xu suggests Xiao Qiao that she should give in if she wants to win. Xiao Qiao knows what Mrs. Xu means is that she and Wei Shao aren’t enemies. She realizes that she’s not good at playing Go.
Mrs. Xu reveals she’s happy with it that Xiao Qiao replaced her to send Wei Shao to be on a mission. But she wishes her grandson not to be on a mission anymore from now on. She asks Xiao Qiao if she knows what it means. She mentions her grandfather wrote a letter to her when he asked for the marriage. He confessed for what he did. She reveals she hates her grandfather because the guy made her lose her family. But people cannot resurrect after they die. She thinks the sorrow cannot be weakened even if she kills the whole Qiao family. She tells Xiao Qiao that she can let it go if the marriage can help Wei Shao forget the revenge. Xiao Qiao realizes that she let Mrs. Xu down. But Mrs. Xu thinks it’s fine.
Two months later, Wei Shao takes his army to return. The people in the city cheer after the lord took Xiaogang. Wei Liang is very happy. He thinks they did a good job. But Gongsun Yang points out that they took Xiaogang not just for dealing with the Liangya Kingdom. Wei Shao asks his followers to carry his quilt to the main house because he plans to fight Xiao Qiao for the territory.
Wei Liang leads the generals to carry the stuff into the house. Xiao Tao and Xiao Zao stop the guys. Xiao Tao claims that it’s the bedroom of the lord and the lady. She disallows them to enter the room. Wei Liang sneers. He thinks they don’t have to let the girls carry it. Wei Qu claims that the lord decided to move in. They begin to work. But they fail to take the closets because Xiao Tao claims that the lady should take most closets.
Wei Liang and the generals leave the house. Wei Liang worries that Xiao Tao cannot marry herself off. Wei Qu suggests that Wei Liang shouldn’t care for the girl. Wei Liang reminds the generals that Xiao Tao is going to marry them. But the generals don’t plan to marry the girl. One of the generals offers to play the grass game to decide it. Wei Liang agrees to it. He goes to pull the grass. But the generals catch the chance to flee.
Xiao Qiao and the girls look at the quilt. Xiao Tao complains it to her lady that the guys insisted on claiming the land. Xiao Qiao thinks she should step back since she won. Wei Shao sleeps in the bed. He has a nightmare. He pulls out his sword and he points his sword at his wife. He asks her what she’s doing. She explains it to him that she noted that he didn’t have a good sleeping and she wanted to put out the candle flames. He asks her not to put out the candle flames. He suggests her that she should wear more when she sleeps. He claims that he won’t fall her because of her beauty. She’s surprised because she doesn’t have the idea. She runs to her bed and she sleeps. He leaves the bedroom.
Wei Shao drinks with Gongsun Yang in the yard. He pours him a drink. Gongsun Yang claims that he cannot drink with Wei Shao because he doesn’t recover. Wei Shao suggests that Gongsun Yang should accompany him. Gongsun Yang pours Wei Shao a drink. He thinks he can let his dearest know it. But Wei Shao thinks nobody understands him. Xiao Zao combs Xiao Qiao’s hair in the bedroom. She complains it to her lady that the lord kept her from sleeping. She mentions Wei Shao blamed Xiao Qiao for tempting him. Xiao Qiao makes an excuse for Wei Shao that he said so because he worried that she would fear. She thinks the guy did nothing to her. She asks the maid to go to cook red bean porridge for her.
