The Story of Ming Lan

Episode 46

This one is the Funing Palace Hall.

That part is the Chongzheng Palace Hall.

In front, there is still a Chuigong Palace Hall.

Also, the imperial garden is in front too.

Once it's the flower season, the blossoming flowers are really so pretty.

Stop restraining yourself.

In this royal palace, other than my brother-in-law,

only Empress Dowager can't be offended.

But she's not here now.

Eunuch Z-Zhu.

Greetings, Your Ladyships.

Empress Dowager sent me to ask you two to go to Baoci Palace.

We came here today to thank our granted marriages.

Sister is still waiting for us.

Her Highness Empress is currently in Baoci Palace.

This morning, when Empress went to greet Empress Dowager,

she mentioned that you two will be coming here today.

Her Highness Empress Dowager then especially made Her Highness Empress stay.

May Your Ladyships go there to meet them.

Please.

What's wrong?

You don't know.

Empress Dowager doesn't like me and my sister.

Whenever she sees me, she will lecture endlessly.

Then... won't I be facing disaster too?

Please.

Let's go.

Sorry.

These two ladies grew up by my side.

Seeing how they're getting older,

I'm thinking letting them attend to the emperor

and letting them stay in the palace.

This way, it will be more convenient

for them to frequently come visit me.

His Majesty is already quite old.

I fear that it will delay the youth of such beautiful ladies.

Moreover, his children now—

Empress, don't worry.

The two of them are very obedient.

I just want them to stay in the palace,

so it will be convenient for them to frequently come here and chat with me.

You're right.

But His Majesty said that he wants to decrease the number of palace servants and expenditures.

I fear that we can't afford to keep too many of them.

You've already brought out the emperor.

What else can I say?

Just let them go then.

Why not

send them to General Xiao Zheng's house, the house of State Uncle,

and also, General Gu's house?

You two just go take them away.

We can't, Empress Dowager.

The people by your side are precious ones.

We must meticulously find them a good marriage.

How could you ask us to just take them in?

This makes them have no proper status.

What precious ones?

All are just palace maids.

I just want to find them a good main mistress.

Let them live better days.

Also, I still have a lot in my palace that needs to be dismissed.

They've all followed me for so many years.

I must arrange the rest of their lives properly.

Madam Sheng.

I heard that General Gu's harem is quite empty still.

Why don't you take a few more with you?

Okay already.

I'm also tired now. It's time to rest.

Why are you smiling so much?

Were my words too absurd and laughable?

No, Your Highness.

I was thinking that...

... that it was such a coincidence.

At home, there are also a lot of marriages that must be arranged.

Moon God might get too busy these next few days.

Really?

What marriage is your family organizing?

Informing Your Highness,

a few days ago, my husband told me that

because the northern border requires more guards to be stationed,

it's best that dispatched soldiers are allowed

to bring their families to stabilize the military morale.

But there are still a lot of young single soldiers in the army.

They all approached and begged him.

My husband said

that I should look for some female attendants and maidservants at home.

Have both sides meet each other.

If anyone gets chosen, and both are willing,

they can immediately be wedded.

I feel that it was too coincidental that my husband

and Your Highness have the same idea.

Second Brother really came up with such a good idea!

Unruly! Stop with your nonsense.

How could the personal attendants of Her Highness Empress Dowager

lower themselves and be married with a soldier?

That's right.

They were all spoiled and raised here in the palace.

I fear that they won't be able to endure the hardship of being exposed to the wind and sand in the border.

Thinking about it, there are still a lot of young captains in the army.

Later, if their husband gets to earn some military achievement and returns,

maybe Empress Dowager will have some more

madams with conferred titles by her side.

In my stupid opinion,

that's way better than being someone's concubine.

After you said those, I remembered something.

Before, when the former emperor died,

the palace was initially planning to dismiss some people.

Now that a coincidental fate like this has appeared,

rather than letting them have no place to settle to, it is indeed better to do that.

Won't that be a perfect ending for both predicament?

Your Highness, what do you think?

You've already mentioned the past emperor.

What else can I say?

Fine. Just do it that way.

This thing is Madam Sheng's idea.

Let her handle it then.

Why did you come?

I heard that Empress Dowager called you away.

How come you know everything?

Do you still remember that eunuch you met during the palace siege?

I do. Qingyun, right?

I recommended him to be a steward today.

What's going on here?

I... seemed to have brought you trouble.

How is that bringing me trouble?

This is earning me more honor!

I just fear that after foiling the plan of Empress Dowager,

she will hate you.

It was you who foiled her plan,

so why would she hate me?

We are as one body. With me being this insensible,

wasn't it all your teaching?

You finally... have grown up.

You know that you are me, I am you.

With just those words,

even if Empress Dowager go after me for this, I'll accept it.

It's your matter to begin with.

I was just included in passing by Empress Dowager

Didn't you just say earlier

that you are me, and I am you? That we are as one body?

Say, why must Empress Dowager do this?

In that palace siege, if not because of His Majesty and his son

charging into the imperial city and rescuing the former emperor,

the consequences are unimaginable.

It's not easy that the wind and waves have calmed down,

so why still come up with these torments?

Calm wind and waves.

How can things be that easy?

The past emperor governed with benevolence and generosity.

Of course, Empress Dowager hoped that His Majesty will imitate the past emperor.

Walk the same path as the past emperor.

But His Majesty is resolute and steadfast.

He insists on reforms. Empress Dowager, of course, would be unhappy about it.

Resolute and steadfast?

Was it the suggestion of that Prince Huan?

Prince Huan is full of great aspirations.

He saw how deeply rooted the malpractices are in the government.

It must be changed.

Not talking about anything else, but just in the army,

after taking over the Imperial Jin Army, I saw so many shortcomings.

Not getting any soldier's pay, stealing of military rations, occupying the fields of citizens.

The military weapons warehouse is mostly empty. Using soldier's pays to lend money at high interests.

So numerous dreadful incidents.

Don't even talk about how the local court and prison officials severely exacts the wealth of the citizens under them.

State Uncle married the daughter of Duke Ying of the State.

Afterwards, he took in the little sister of his deceased wife as a concubine.

Husband and wife are not getting along well.

We are newlywed. She wants to add another person between us,

so that I will also incite a huge quarrel with you.

Right. Right.

But you instead didn't cause a ruckus at all.

You even took away her people and cut off her words.

Still those words, you're my tactical adviser.

Go! Let's go to Fan House for some drinks.

Hey, what drinks? Drinking again?

There are still a few beautiful and delicate ladies in the adjacent courtyard.

There are still a lot of things to do.

Now, we still have some time to have drinks.

I fear that in the future, there won't be any.

Let's go. We'll go today.

You...

His Majesty and Empress Dowager are fighting for power.

It's either military or money matter.

I'm sure that it will be a fierce battle.

Prince Huan and his father have been kind to me.

I fear that from now on,

our family won't have any peaceful days.

It was still a clear sky earlier.

How come there's now thunder?

It's raining. The sky will be changing.

Your Majesty,

recently, the empire has started to be peaceful and the government has slowly stabilized.

Although most of the rebel prince's allies have been killed or have surrendered,

I fear that there are still remnants.

We mustn't stop and instead make a thorough investigation to purge them.

What Prime Minister Han said is reasonable.

Why don't you recommend someone to handle it?

I recommend—

Qi Heng, the newly promoted imperial censor of the Censor Academy, has a memorial submitted.

He firmly narrated a method of eliminating the rebel faction.

Your Majesty, don't you want to hear his words?

Call him then.

Calling

for Imperial Censor Qi Heng of the Censor Academy to enter the palace!

I, Qi Heng, greets Your Majesty! Greets Empress Dowager!

The son of Princess Pingning is indeed outstanding.

I have a memorial to report.

Say it.

The rebel prince revolted and forced the former emperor to abdicate, willfully slaughtered the innocents, and the linkages are too vast.

I suggest to meticulously investigate the accounting books of his royal manor.

Have those people written there with whom he had social interactions with

call for interrogations, to avoid anyone being missed.

I think that it's inappropriate.

Although this act will avoid anyone being missed, it will induce inverse discrimination.

We should find hard evidence first before investigating them one by one.

If we don't purge and punish them heavily, stun the public with it,

I fear that someone might imitate him in the future and cause trouble again.

All the officials here hate the rebel prince up to our bones.

But how come Lord Qi seems to suggest that we should extend to implicate and punish even just associates of his?

Being thorough in investigating the rebel faction

is for the stabilization of the government and the purging of the remaining rebels.

Even if half of the government officials are killed,

what benefit will I get from it?

In the past, you almost was married to...

I think Qi Heng's method isn't bad.

He is fair, loyal, and upright.

Just let him handle this matter.

I, Qi Heng, thank Your Majesty and Empress Dowager!

Now, Prime Minister Han

has really lifted a stone to hit his own foot.

At first, asking Empress Dowager to listen to court meetings was to stabilize the government.

Now, the citizens are trusting the new imperial government and there is peace everywhere,

but Empress Dowager is refusing to withdraw and hand over the jade seal.

Earlier, at Wende Palace Hall,

I couldn't even bear to look at that face of His Majesty.

It's easier to invite the deity but hard to send him off.

A few days ago, we just decided to purge the remaining allies of that rebel prince.

And today, Empress Dowager already have a Qi Heng to handle it.

It shows—

Take it slowly.

Presently, the most important matter is getting the jade seal back.

Once we have it, we then have just cause.

Of course, I know that.

Prime Minister Han, Duke Ying of the State,

scholarly and military officials have all tried to ask for it

numerous times, either openly or secretly.

But Empress Dowager was able to block them all.

We can't really go steal it, right?

Of course, we can't forcefully take it away.

We must steal it intelligently.

Steal it intelligently.

- Save me! Save me! - What are you doing?!

Is there still any law?!

Save me! Save me!

Young Lord, what did my son do wrong?

That's right.

His Majesty has given a decree to thoroughly investigate the remaining allies of the rebel prince.

I'm just especially inviting them to the local court for some questioning.

Impossible. My house is full of loyal and righteous subjects.

Since it's just for interrogation, why must they be arrested by force and their hands tied?

Young Lord, our Qi and Gu families are considered relatives.

You should at least consider some affection and give us some respect.

indeed. Indeed.

Even our Qi Family, will not be spared from investigation. I'll take my leave.

- This... How could you be like this?! - What should we do?

- Son! Father will save you! - This is a crime of rebellion!

This is a disaster of clan elimination!

Shut up!

How did Tingdi and Tingbing get linked with the rebel prince?

What link?

They just attended some poetry and singing sessions in that rebel prince's manor.

Eldest Sister-in-law, you know very well the temper and personalities of those two children.

To have them rebel,

even if you lend them 10 guts, they won't dare too.

All are children of our house. Of course, I know it.

Although there isn't a perfect person, they were indeed children who stayed within their bounds.

Yes. Yes.

Isn't that right?

Eldest Sister-in-law, you mustn't just watch and do nothing.

That Qi Heng just arrested them without saying anything.

We are even relatives with him a few generations back.

You are giving me a difficult problem.

Our Gu and Qi family indeed had family ties several generations ago.

But, that was after all so long ago.

We also don't usually interact with each other.

In terms of affection, it surely have already weakened.

If I just rashly go there to beg there for leniency,

I fear that I'll only be embarrassingly get sent back.

It would then be harder to seek them again.

What should we do?

Among us, there really isn't anyone who is dignified enough.

Only you have a status whose words might be heard.

If you're unwilling to make this trip,

then it's watching us die without offering any help!

Aren't we currently discussing about it?

Fourth Sister-in-law, why must you say such harsh words?

- I... - Okay already.

Everyone, stop panicking.

What Eldest Sister-in-law said is reasonable.

It's just that..

.the crime of rebellion isn't a minor matter.

If the two children get in trouble and sentenced for such crime,

it's still not known if the marquis noble title

can be preserved or not.

In my opinion,

there is actually one suitable person right now.

He can directly seek an audience with the emperor.

Eldest Sister-in-law is speaking of your house's Second?

Eldest Sister-in-law doted Second a lot.

Now, quickly ask him to beg His Majesty for leniency.

Yes, it might work before.

Now, he also have turned hostile against me.

After getting married for a few days, they already transferred to another manor.

I fear that he won't be giving me such honor.

If you won't be honored, the more we won't.

That lad had never faced us directly.

What should we do?

Can't do anything about it.

The debts of children must be repaid by their parents.

Eldest's health hasn't been good lately.

I heard that he hasn't gotten out of bed for several days. I must go over and take a look.

You two just sit here for a while.

This...

What does she mean?

What else?

What she means is we should just be shameless

and go look for that Gu Tingye.

Who told our sons to commit such grave mistake?

[ Cheng Garden ]

Yesterday, someone told me that

the two brothers from Fourth and Fifth Houses were arrested.

They said that they colluded with Prince Ni.

They even arrested members of the Gu family?

I heard the person in-charge of uncovering the traitor,

is Yanruo.

I was joking with you. I know Yanrou very well.

He's noble, virtuous and arrogant. He will never take personal revenge.

Moreover, he will never frame anyone.

Then... will you be implicated too?

Are you stupid?

I'm the person who shot and killed that rebel prince. How could I be implicated?

- I... - What am I afraid of?

You must be careful.

Did those people from the Fourth and Fifth Houses come here to give you any problems?

Give me problems?

Shouldn't they find you to plead for mercy?

Look for me to plead for mercy? I won't do that.

How can I plead for mercy for this rebel group? It's useless even if I say anything.

The members of the Gu family will definitely say that you are lacking in feelings.

I already have a bad name.

I don't care if I have another one.

As for you, you must be extra wary.

Those women from the Fourth and Fifth Houses are not like men.

I can get away from them.

Be wary of them of being too meticulous.

They can pester and irritate you to death.

I'm asking you this. Do you want to be involved in it?

Those rascals, to say that they are status seekers, I would believe it.

To say that they were colluding with that rebel prince,

even if we give them lots of courage, they wouldn't dare to.

I'm aware of the situation then.

That Qi Heng

regards the Gu family like a chicken coop and dog hole

and treats your brothers and cousins like infamous pirates, punished them like criminals and haul them away.

He's behaving atrociously.

Are you going to manage him or not?

Behaving atrociously?

Qi Heng was authorized by His Majesty when he came to our house to interrogate.

Prime Minister who was authorized to manage this case

was also handpicked by His Majesty.

You two dare to slander important subjects of His Majesty here?

To add further,

since His Majesty decreed to have this matter investigated,

but those who are involved will be called up for questioning.

Who gives the right for others to be questioned but not you?

But even so.

you now are a dignified subject in front of His Majesty.

The Gu family has difficulties.

Can't you say a few nice words and plead for mercy in front of the official?

If this is not successful, the Gu family will become a laughing stock.

That's right. Please plead for mercy.

Do you think that two evil creatures were falsely accused?

What do you mean?

My father went through arduous training and hard work in the army for many years

He was garrisoned at the borders for more than 10 years.

His subordinates who were promoted became good-for-nothings.

These people may have participated in the rebellion.

Did our Gu family ever recruited them?

If we did, this is a crime of rebellion!

Don't you know us well?

We will never let the Gu family's future generation do something like this.

That's right.

Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, don't talk big.

When you usually manage your sons,

would these two brothers of mine listen to you?

Out of those ten harmful and outrageous acts that they did,

I fear you are only aware of one.

You... you! What nonsense are you spouting?

Although our sons are good-for-nothings but they will never do such evil acts.

That's right.

Don't panic.

The prison is administered by Liu Zhengjie.

I'm unable to leave my work in the military camp,

so I had someone ask around.

He dared not say anything except to tell me this information.

Tingyu and Tingwei

helped the rebel prince buy a lot of Jiangnan women.

These women were mostly sent to the manors of high officials and generals,

as bribes of wining their support. A few days ago,

these were clearly written on the accounting books that were found in the rebel prince manor. Can they still deny it?

This is nonsense. You are obviously spouting nonsense!

- Impossible. - That's right, it's impossible.

This crime of rebellion

even Prince Huan won't be able to help us.

But don't worry. The crime that they committed is not very grave.

They will only receive some punishments. Their heads will drop.

They will be beheaded?

Brother Ye, they are your biological siblings.

Can't you help and pull them out from there?

If this criminal charge is implemented,

perhaps,

we may not be able to protect the title of the Gu family.

How will it benefit you if the Gu family collapse?

You are also a grandson of the Gu family.

Grandson of the Gu family?

That year, you and Big Madam were evil and slandered me.

You refused to let me see my father for the last time.

Did you regard me as the grandson of the Gu family?

When I was homeless and in desperate plight out there,

did you regard me as the grandson of the Gu family?

You now regard me as the grandson of the Gu family!

About this... alright.

We're talking about the matter of Tingbing and Tingdi, so why must you include those other messed up things?

I... I think you don't want to be involved.

Fine. These two evil creatures should suffer for their evil acts.

- We won't plead for mercy from you. - You!

He didn't plan to be involved in the first place.

Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, I'm leaving. No need to see me off.

Brother Ye! Brother Ye!

Why were you so quick to retort? You don't want your son to live?!

He didn't plan to get involved in the first place. What's the use of pleading to him?

You don't want anyone to be involved?!

It's late. Go to sleep first. Read this tomorrow.

We are getting critically close to the investigation of the rebellion party.

If we don't quickly settle the name list of those involved,

I fear if it's takes too long, someone will get wind of it and escape.

I will instruct the kitchen to cut some fruits and bring them here.

No need. I have never eaten anything in the night.

Go to sleep now.

Ever since you have been investigating the rebellion party,

it has been a month since you returned to the room to sleep.

You are always tired and sleep in the study.

Look at you.

Those who serves me in the study,

not a single of them are women.

I'm not being suspicious of you. It's just that...

Don't worry.

We are already a married couple. I won't disappoint you.

Miss.

Don't be angry. I asked around in the manor.

All the people in this manor are full of praises to your husband.

They all say that he is clean-living and honest, never a womanizer.

It may be so but I keep feeling that he's too formal with me.

Isn't that good?

Everyone say that lifting the tray to the eyebrow level and treating each other like special guests (mutual respect in marriage)

are what makes a married couple last.

You don't understand. He treats me like an outsider.

He might look so considerate and thorough in caring for me,

but in reality, he doesn't tell me anything.

When he has any problems, he keeps them in his heart

and pretends that it's nothing.

I'd rather that he shouts at me,

throw a fit on me.

By the way, talking about this,

I heard this from a woman.

She said that before your husband married that princess of the third rank,

his heart was moved by a daughter of a junior official.

There's something like this?

What happened after that?

Subsequently, he was forced into marriage by Prince Yong.

This matter was left unsettled.

What's the name of the daughter of that junior official?

I heard her family name is Sheng.

I'm not clear about her maiden name.

I only know her family is six in the ranking.

Ask around and check what's so special about this Miss Sheng.

About this...

It's not a good idea.

If Sir were to find out, we won't be able to get out from this embarrassing situation.

I know it's not a good idea but I can't get through the hurdle in my heart.

I'll keep wanting to know if he has someone else in his heart.

That's why he's not opening his heart to me.

Aunties and sister-in-laws, be at ease.

My husband already said that it's not same grave crime.

You make it sound so easy.

Whenever people enters that prison of the Ministry of Justice, he surely will get skinned. What should we do?

Fourth Auntie, don't get agitated.

I'm sure that the Ministry of Prison will take my husband in consideration

and not harm my older brothers.

Who said that they won't? On the day they were arrested, they were taken tied up.

Who cared about our relation with Gu Tingye?

Moreover, everyone in our family are already panicking to the point of suffocating themselves and you're still so calm.

And so appeased.

Don't know what your heart is made of.

Since this is an external household matter, as a wife, I also can't intervene.

If my husband has other worries or considerations to make.

Must I force him?

Maybe second sister-in-law has such courage.

But I just got married here not long ago and I don't have any children.

I can only be cautious and stay within my bounds.

I dare not step into the lightning pond by a step. Hope sister-in-law can understand.

How do you speak? You're so unruly.

Minglan, we are one family.

If there are any words, let's sit down and slowly say them.

- Come. - Come. Come. Sit down and let's slowly talk.

I'm just too anxious. Say, what should we do?

Say, Minglan, although your words were indeed right,

you should still go back and urge Ye'er.

The Gu family is one body.

The success or destruction of one will affect everyone.

If any clan members gets sentenced,

this... won't also be a good thing for him.

- That's right. - I've told him all that.

But you all surely know his temper better than I do.

Once he has decided, don't anyone think of making him change his mind.

If he doesn't want to say something,

don't anyone think of making him talk a word.

If I get firm and force him, what if he divorces me?

Will Fourth Auntie and Fifth Auntie take me in for the rest of my life?

But you said earlier that Ye'er must have some other worries or considerations.

You could at least clearly ask him about those when you go back, right?

At least, let our sons die informed.

Right. We are not begging you to go put in some kind words.

Just go ask Ye'er what he really wants.

This... I'm just afraid that even if I ask, he won't say it.

No, can't you ask him obliquely?

Who told you to ask him straight out?

We have a problem! Big Madam!

Big Madam! Rong'er is missing!

What? Isn't she in my room?

I also don't know the full details. Momo Chang said that she was supposed to do her hair.

When she left to look for a hair tie, Miss Rong was gone when she returned.

Then, quickly search the garden!

They have already did. They said that they have searched the whole garden, but there was still no sight of her.

What should we do, Big Madam?

This... what should I do?

Let's go. Let's go. I'll personally look for her.

There's always trouble. Everyone is not making me feel at ease!

You're just leaving like that?!

You're just going to let us dry out here (cold-shoulder), is that it?

You're not going to help us anymore?

Servants!

Everyone has left?

You wish. They would probably be here until nightfall.

After sitting for 4 to 6 hours, they'll get bored and will naturally leave.

This trick of yours is so clever.

Who cares how important their matter is? Once a child is lost, you must go look for her.

It's just right for you to leave them behind.

No one will criticize you.

Just to make it look real, I really went to the garden and searched for a while.

I had to take a long way back to the study.

I'm so tired.

I initially thought that you won't be able to handle those shrews.

From the looks of it now, I was over worrying for nothing.

You totally can graduate now.

That's right too.

In my maiden house, I only knew to pretend to be dumb.

Since I marry you, I even learned to act shamelessly.

It's really get near red and you'll turn red.

I'll treat that as a praise from you.

But you must be careful.

These Gu people aren't that easy to deal with.

You may have escaped them for today, but they will return and intensify their attacks on you.

They will make your life a hell.

Are you afraid of them causing trouble?

Of course, I'm not.

If you're not, then I'm not too.

On the day that you married Yuanruo,

something just coincidentally came up at home,

hence, I wasn't able to attend your wedding.

Today, I'm making up for my gift.

You mustn't do this. The different elders from the House of Gu have already given us a lot of gifts.

No, those were gifts from the whole House of Gu.

This... is my private gift. Just take it.

It's just a beaded necklace. You can wear it for fun.

Big Madam, you're my grandaunt.

Just be frank with me.

Although I'm a wife, I did hear a few news.

My husband is in charge of the purging of the rebel faction.

The Gu family has been implicated.

If I accept your gift,

those who knows will say that it's just an elder doting on her young descendant.

But those who don't know will say Gu House is bribing the wife of an official.

My husband will also not look good.

Never thought that you're a person that can see things so thoroughly.

Fine. I'll be frank then.

I'm shamelessly begging a younger generation

for I was left with no choice.

If I directly talk with Yuanruo and he refuses me,

there won't be any room to redeem my cause.

Hence, I'm begging you instead.

This...

This is a government matter, hence, I don't know much.

My husband never tells me about these.

I fear that I can't be of any help.

No. No.

I'm not asking you to beg for leniency

from Yuanruo in my behalf.

I just ask that you...

... put in some nice words about those vile spawns

in behalf of our family.

Let those people in prison

not make things too difficult for them.

My husband is only in charge of the interrogation and lawsuit.

He never get involves with the prison tortures.

I think...

... that if you just want the prison people to take care of them,

it's better to just ask General Gu.

That will be more convenient.

He's closer with the people of the local court and prison.

If I'm able to do that,

you think I would shamelessly come here today to ask you?

Don't you know?

This gossip was known all over the capital back then.

They said that my husband and your Madam Sheng have a past affair.

Because of that,

how could my husband still make any connection with your Gu Family?

He would rather avoid your family.

I didn't grow up in Bianjing, so I asked around.

My husband and your Madam Sheng

just studied together through a private tutor when they were younger.

Yet, they got gossiped like that.

It shows how fearful gossip can be.

That's right. You said it right. You are a sensible person.

I heard that that person who really had a past romantic relationship with Madam Sheng

is the He Family of the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

I heard that they were about to give betrothal gifts,

but for some reason, there was a change of mind,

and she got married into your family instead.

That illegitimate daughter is really something.

Bianjing is really a lair of hiding dragons and tigers.

That's right. Right.

How come, as a member of the Gu family,

she instead was happier after hearing scandals about their family?

Won't you be happy if you're able to obtain the weakness of other people?

Say, that Madam Sheng can be said to be a well-known figure.

She even played polo together with Young Master.

Even Miss doesn't know that Young Master can play polo.

That time, we haven't entered the capital.

Also,

Also,I heard that the personal servant of Young Master now was just a replacement.

That original servant named Buwei grew up with Young Master and is very caring.

But because he set up a meeting between Young Master and Madam Sheng,

he got caned to death by Princess.

A seductress like that is really scary.

Shut up!

Don't mention that woman again.

If this gets out, the reputation of the Qi family will be tarnished.

T/N In the following song, "Don't You Know, Don't You Know?", Lines 5 to the end are the poem by Li Qingzhao, a famous female poet of the Song Dynasty, the poem is titled "Spring Ends".

♫ One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree, beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord ♫

♫ Even if drinking in water in the morning, red clouds have half a day of sunshine, the wind and rain do not affect them completely ♫

♫ In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin, from on high, your cold tears of distress flow ♫

♫ Brocade letters delivered to me dismiss me, only suddenly to recall me,

not for many years can I see you other than stealthily♫

♫ Last night, gusty winds and rain during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect ♫

♫ When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before. ♫

♫ Don't you know, don't you know, there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers? ♫
