Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 32 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Despite Yuliu's bitter pleas, Cairen Wu's mind was made up. She picked up scissors and cut off all her beautiful hair. Immediately afterwards, Cairen Wu came to Li Shimin to confess her 'crime'. She claimed that in order to concoct an elixir, she had once made a solemn vow that as long as Li Shimin's condition improved, she would become a nun, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures for the rest of her life.
Li Shimin fell into deep self-reproach, feeling that he owed her too much. Li Zhi brought Pei Xingjian to see Cairen Wu late at night. Cairen Wu shut them out. Li Zhi knew that Cairen Wu was not asleep and wanted to go in to comfort her. Pei Xingjian advised Li Zhi not to go in and to let Cairen Wu have some peace alone.
Li Zhi felt sorry for Cairen Wu and instructed Yuliu to take good care of her. Cairen Wu watched Li Zhi's retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions, and aggrieved tears flowed incessantly. Zhuo Jinniang was eager to win. She worked day and night to make the dress, using all her skills and every needle technique she knew to embroider auspicious flowers all over the dress. She also made sure Bi kept an eye on Kudi Liuli's movements.
Upon learning that Kudi Liuli had gone to sleep, Zhuo Jinniang looked at the magnificent dress she had meticulously embroidered, beaming with joy, firmly believing that she would win against Kudi Liuli tomorrow. Early the next morning, Bi came to call Zhuo Jinniang and found her asleep, leaning on the embroidery frame. She quickly woke her up. Zhuo Jinniang told Bi to pack the dress she had embroidered for the competition.
Kudi Liuli ironed the white dress she had made early in the morning. Bi saw that sample dress from afar. Although it was simply made, when paired with a red shawl, it instantly shimmered with brilliant radiance, making Bi break out in a cold sweat for Zhuo Jinniang. Pei Xingjian and Mo Kun were ordered to go on an errand. They passed by the Wardrobe Service.
Pei Xingjian came to bid Kudi Liuli farewell and also revealed that Cairen Wu was going to become a nun. Kudi Liuli was stunned. Cairen Wu came to bid Li Shimin farewell early in the morning, planning to become a nun at Ganye Temple.
Li Shimin couldn't bear it, but seeing that Cairen Wu had already cut off all her beautiful hair and expressed her determination to practice asceticism, Li Shimin told Cairen Wu to meditate and practice in the Hall of Xianchi, and only become a nun a hundred years later. Cairen Wu knelt down to thank him for his great favor.
Li Ming saw this scene and gritted his teeth in anger, not expecting Cairen Wu to use such a method to save her life. He secretly swore in his heart that he would kill Cairen Wu once he ascended the throne. Kudi Liuli sighed repeatedly about Cairen Wu becoming a nun.
Suddenly, Abu brought people to seal the doors and windows of her bedroom, forbidding Kudi Liuli from participating in the competition, so as not to involve everyone in the Wardrobe Service. Kudi Liuli cried out in alarm. The Two concubines arrived at the Wardrobe Service on time. Kudi Liuli was late. Zhuo Jinniang spoke a lot of bad things about Kudi Liuli and suggested disqualifying her from the competition.
Minister Lin was very displeased and insisted on finding Kudi Liuli to compete together. Zhuo Jinniang had no choice but to send Bi to find her. Bi quickly returned, falsely claiming that Kudi Liuli was not there. The concubines became impatient and ruled on the spot that Zhuo Jinniang had won. Afterwards, Minister Lin clearly stated that Kudi Liuli had won the first round with the sunrise-red shawl she dyed and wove, and insisted on holding a third round.
The Two concubines then asked them both to embroider a dragon robe. Cairen Wu came to bid farewell to Li Zhi, clearly stating that Li Shimin's lifespan was nearing its end, and reminding Li Zhi to be careful everywhere and never let Li Ming succeed. Li Zhi's heart was torn, and he promised to bring Cairen Wu back from Ganye Temple after he ascended the throne in the future. Cairen Wu felt warmth in her heart.
Kudi Liuli learned that Cairen Wu would begin her secluded practice today, so she ran to the Hall of Xianchi in one breath. Yuliu happened to be looking for her. Kudi Liuli saw Cairen Wu holding Buddhist beads and wearing a black robe, and she was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face. Cairen Wu advised her to also come to the Hall of Xianchi for secluded practice, and then find an opportunity to send her out of the palace.
Kudi Liuli was determined to defeat Zhuo Jinniang, reclaim her mother's golden needle, and clear her mother's name. Cairen Wu no longer insisted and promised to pray for her daily. Kudi Liuli gave Cairen Wu a handmade embroidered purse as a souvenir, and then knelt to bid her farewell. Kudi Liuli took out the dress she had made by hand to display. The Two concubines repeatedly praised the luxurious dress embroidered by Zhuo Jinniang, but still preferred Kudi Liuli's simple white dress.
