Brother Xun.

Brother Xun.

Brother Xun.

It's been a long time since your last visit.

Long time no see.

Brother Xun, I miss you so much.

I miss you so much, Brother Xun.

Mister, you're here.

Madam

has Miss Waner been here recently?

No.

After watching the shadow play

with the kids last time,

I've never seen her again.

Where can she go?

Is there something wrong?

Nothing.

Madam,

if there's any news

about Miss Waner,

please remember to inform me.

Okay.

You kids

must listen to Madam.

I'll come and visit you again

after some time.

Brother Xun,

when will Sister Waner come?

We want to watch her to perform shadow puppets.

Yes.

I want. We want to.

We want to watch too.

All right.

Brother Xun still have something else to deal with.

Let's go in with me.

Yes, go in with Madam.

Go.

Brother Xun,

Come. Let's go.

Just go and be obedient.

Let's go.

We will miss you.

Your Highness,

you have been waiting for a long time.

I think Miss Waner

won't come today.

I wonder what happened to her.

Why hasn't she showed up after such a long time?

After going to imperial mausoleum,

I'm afraid that

it will be difficult for me to come here again...

And it's hard for fate to

bring us together again.

Shall I check

which family does she...

Don't.

Just because I don't know about her background,

The Song of Glory

and family status,

we're able to speak freely with each other.

The more you know,

the more worries you have.

If we're destined to meet again,

we'll meet again for sure.

You're right.

Episode 39

Perhaps

Miss Waner is also

missing Your Highness somewhere.

Let's go.

It seems that King Jing Ling

is so worried about you.

But he already has someone else in his heart.

Someone he will never get.

What's the point of

having someone in heart?

You're the only woman

who can help him...

to change his life.

Fourth Brother,

thank you for sparing my mother.

I know

it's difficult to make this decision.

You've done your best.

I'm truly grateful.

It's never too late to mend.

I just hope that

Mother can live a peaceful life

in the imperial mausoleum in the future.

But you...

I'm still a little worried about her.

So I want to go to the imperial mausoleum

to accompany mother

to fulfil filial duty.

When will you be back?

I don't know yet.

After all, mother is old.

I'm afraid that

if I don't get this chance

to fulfil filial duty,

I will regret it in the future.

You're a man who values relationships a lot.

I understand that you want to fulfil your filial duty,

but we just got rid of Lu Yuan,

and the new policy will be implemented soon.

I really need you.

Fourth Brother,

I've brought you

so much trouble.

The cause of everything

ia all because of me.

It's good for me to avoid attending to court temporarily.

Sixth Brother.

Fourth Brother,

please give me some time.

If you need help,

I'll definitely do my best to help you.

But now,

I've decided to go to imperial mausoleum

to accompany mother.

I hope you'll understand me.

Okay.

I'll wait for your return.

Fourth Brother, you just came back from the battlefield

and must be exhausted.

Please take good care of yourself.

Have a safe journey.

Fourth Brother, take care.

Ren Shou Pavilion

Ren Shou Pavilion

Royal Mother,

in the future,

you'll live in Ren Shou Pavilion.

As long as I'm here,

Ren Shou Pavilion

you don't have to be afraid of anything.

Moreover,

Sixth Brother will come and visit you

when he's free.

The three of us

will still be together everyday

just like how we did when we're little.

I will protect

Your Highness and Sixth Brother.

We're family forever.

How good is that.

Buddha is afraid of creating bad cause,

all beings are afraid of bearing bad consequences.

Today,

I finally understand it.

Your Highness.

Don't address me in this way any more.

I was demoted to a commoner.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

King Peng Cheng's mansion

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Your Highness.

This box of incense with calming fragrance

was a gift from Chief Secretariat.

He hopes that Your Highness

will live a better life

in the imperial mausoleum.

I will accept this gift.

Please tell Chief Secretariat that

we don't have to bring up

something

already passed.

I understand.

I shall leave now.

Mother.

Your Highness.

Xuan.

Go and help.

Mother, I will accompany you.

Xuan,

I'm already grateful enough

for your coming.

Just see me off here.

Mother.

I'm a sinner.

Xuan,

I don't want to make you get involved in this.

Mother,

no matter what happened before,

you're always my mother.

If I can't fulfil my filial duty today,

I won't be able to face myself.

Xuan.

Mother, don't be afraid.

I'll accompany you.

Xuan.

I must've made things

difficult for you, Xuan.

I always wanted to keep you company.

Now that I have this chance.

I'm really happy.

Let's go then.

Go.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Set off.

Yes.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Your Highness.

Let's go.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Your Highness, let's go back.

It's time to attend to court.

Everyone has someone to rely on,

expect the poor and lonely guy.

Your Highness, you've already showed mercy to them.

Show mercy?

It's a pity that it's a sad ending.

Greetings, King Peng Cheng.

General Zhenbei, Shen Tingzhang

is always able to gain victory with his sword unstained...

and disband group of bandit.

He's definitely the mainstay of the imperial court,

as well as defender of Song.

Such victory is the blessing of Song.

As he's advanced in age,

I summoned him back to the court

and take the position of Secretary of Defence.

His eldest son, Shen Zhi,

will be the General of Military Protector

to command the middle troops.

His second son, Shen Feng,

made outstanding achievement in the war of north...

and is granted the title of General Anbei

to guard the north.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I will not let Your Highness down.

In this way,

the military power of Song

is almost all in the hands of the Shen family.

Chief Secretariat, do you have any objections?

Your Highness are giving reward according achievement that one's made.

The Shen family's made outstanding achievements indeed.

They deserve such reward.

I have no objection.

Your Highness,

but in the case of Xu Zixian,

Concubine Li died suddenly on the execution ground,

and the Shen family returned to hometown.

Although they've made great military achievement this time,

before giving reward,

Your Highness should have given

an explanation to the people first

so that it won't cause criticism.

The imprisonment of the Shen family,

and the death of Concubine Li,

were all expedient strategies.

This is Lu Yuan's confession.

He's admitted his crimes.

I've given an order

to announce his crimes to the people.

Your Highness is truly wise.

Your Highness is truly wise.

In the war of north,

all of you assisted in recruiting soldiers and collecting food.

You've gained merit.

I'll definitely give reward according merit that one's made.

When Lu Yuan ordered his soldiers to surround the palace,

you all were calm under such critical circumstance

and even able to protect the orthodox of Song

under pressure.

I'm deeply moved.

All of you here are the loyal and righteous officials.

The court of the Song

will still need your help in the future.

We're all ready to serve the court without hesitation.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Princess Consort.

Your Highness.

Has Concubine Li's hand injury turned better?

After using Yufu Cream you gave,

it's much better now.

Concubine Li has already told me that

she went to see you.

Yes.

I think Concubine Li is very bold and brave.

I am ashamed.

You're too humble.

Concubine Li

was in the world of martial arts since she's little.

She's used to seeing fights.

You're definitely way more

decent and dignified than her.

Your Highness,

don't you like her because she is active

and unrestrained?

Actually, you are good.

Good doesn't mean you like it.

Right?

I understand.

Although you're a woman,

you're highly principled.

In my heart,

I really respect you.

Being able to win Your Highness's respect

is my blessing.

Put it down.

Don't simply touch it.

Is this edible?

Why not?

Concubine Li made it herself.

Do you think it's edible?

Yes.

No matter it's edible or not,

Your Highness will still eat it.

Exactly.

This is also made by Concubine Li too?

No. I made this.

You want to eat it?

You wish!

Don't listen to her.

I've already kept some for you.

It's in the kitchen.

Go eat them now.

Thank you, Sister Hong Dan.

You, come back.

Who said I've kept some for you?

I didn't.

Hong Dan said it.

Don't be shy.

I...

Look at this table. It's full of food.

Look. There's this.

There are so many food here. If I don't eat

Why are you shy?

What are you doing?

Isn't it a waste if I don't finish

such a delicious mille crepe cake

and your kind intention.

Whose kind intention?

What intention do I have for you?

What's wrong with you? Lige.

You keep saying that.

Do you still want to keep saying that?

Let go of me. Hurry.

Let's see if you dare to say it again.

What do you want to do?

How dare you keep saying that.

Don't hit my head.

I'll warm up the soup first.

Take care of His Highness.

Okay.

His Highness is here.

Hurry up.

Your Highness.

Guard Xu.

I'm sorry.

I did not do it on purpose.

It's fine.

I'll take you to change your clothes.

Let's go.

Where's Concubine Li?

Your Highness.

Concubine Li...

Concubine Li is in the kitchen.

Her Highnesss preparing food for you.

Preparing food?

Come, serve it now.

Fourth Brother,

you're here.

Come and taste the food I made.

Sit down quickly.

I

want to do something

a concubine should do.

Washing clothes and cooking.

Thank you for your hard work.

You shall eat first.

It's not hard for me.

Taste it now.

I guarantee that

this tastes much better than the one you tasted at Matou.

Of course it is.

Come.

Come.

How about it? Is it delicious?

It's so delicious.

Eat more

if it's delicious.

Come.

Come and eat together.

The two of us can't finish it.

Yes.

I said when I was in Matou.

After coming back here,

we must

have a good meal together.

Sit down and eat together.

Okay, Your Highness.

I still have something important to deal with.

I shall leave now.

Wait a minute.

Didn't you just finish with your work?

Xiao Xin,

aren't you have some works to do too?

Right?

Yes, I...

Go, hurry up.

What's going on?

What's wrong with you two?

They seem mysterious.

I'll go ask about it.

Is it not delicious?

No.

It's so delicious.

Why is it so salty?

Acceptable.

You've improved a lot.

It's more delicious than the one you made at Matou.

I've improved a lot?

Is this can be considered "improve a lot'?

I don't improve at all.

The dish you made at Matou,

the ingredients were all raw.

Now,

at least it's half-cooked.

There's lack of salt at Matou.

Now, this taste

is so rich.

You teased me again.

I'm serious.

I like to eat half-raw food.

I like to eat salty food.

I like to eat oily food.

Since you love it so much,

finish it then.

Come.

Okay.

If I don't eat the food that my concubine cooked,

who else will?

Come, let's have a toast first.

Eat vegetables first.

I will drink it up first.

You always say that I can't drink as much as you.

How about today?

You drink lesser than me, right?

You drink lesser than me.

I eat more than you do.

I know my cooking skill is bad.

Why are you looking around

like a thief?

I said

I like to eat half-cooked food.

I won't behave like a thief.

The dignified King Peng Cheng

acts crazy after getting drunk in the middle of the night.

How inappropriate.

Is it inappropriate?

His Highness is in his own mansion now.

His Highness doesn't cause trouble at somewhere else.

How ungracious.

Like master,

like her maid.

Who are you talking about?

Concubine Li, he was the one who talked down to you.

You...

No.

Did I talk about Concubine Li?

Which sentence did I say about Concubine Li?

The sentence you said just now.

You said it.

That's you.

All right.

Stop bullying San Bao.

How dare he talk down to you?

You are a swordswoman.

Even I don't dare to do so.

Of course you dare not.

Your martial arts skills

are no match for me.

Your alchohol tolerance

Bi Xin Wine

is no match for me too.

If I were a man,

I would be like my father and eldest brother,

who could wipe out the enemies bravely

on the battlefield.

Miss,

please don't ever

be a man.

Song

has thousands of elite soldiers.

Lack of you, a single person won't matter.

Besides,

you just said that

you'll be my good concubine.

You still haven't completed

a big mission yet.

What is that?

Give me a baby quickly.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Why?

Are you shy?

What shy? I...

What flower is that?

It's in bloom.

Chinese peony.

As the saying in poetry,

young man and young woman make fun of each other...

and give each other Chinese peony as a love promise.

However,

I prefer

the pear flowers you planted for me.

As long as you like it,

I'll make the garden

full of pear flowers in bloom.

Let's make Bi Xin Wine together too.

Bi Xin Wine

All right. As you wish.

Step aside. You are blocking me.

Step aside.

I can't see.

Step aside.

You took advantage of me.

I...

How did I take advantage of you?

You still deny it?

You did.

Be quiet.

Be quiet.

Come back.

I didn't.

You still deny it?

Stop there.

Stop.

Don't run.

Stop.

Don't run.

Stop.

Don't run.

Don't run.

Stop.

Run.

Why don't you run? I really have no money.

Run.

I really have no money, brother.

Run.

Brother, I really have no money.

You should pay back the money you owe.

What's the use of running so fast?

But

I really have no money.

This thing must be valuable.

Brother.

Give it to me.

Brother.

Give it to me.

No way.

Brother, you can't take this.

Brother, you can take this zither.

This sheet music is worthless, brother.

Worthless?

Brother, give it back to me.

Miss Waner.

Xuan, what's wrong?

Mother, I'll be right back.

You shall stay.

Show your sincerity then.

Your Highness, be careful.

Be careful.

Grab it if you can.

Brother.

I beg you.

Brother.

Since he has no money,

you pay for him, okay?

Come.

Come on.

Hurry. Let's go. Get up.

Are you okay?

Jian Jia

This

is the sheet music I gave to you.

Mother,

this is Miss Waner.

Greetings, Madam.

You know each other?

We can be considered as

friends made through music.

We lost contact before.

But I didn't expect to meet her here today.

Miss Waner.

What happened just now?

My brother and I

have been depending on each other for life.

Even we aren't rich,

we still live a worry-free life.

Anyway, I didn't expect

my brother would get framed

when he went to sell goods at Shudi.

My brother left a huge debt

after he died.

I wanted to seek help from my distant relative.

But without my brother's protection,

I have nowhere to go.

They turned me away.

What a pity girl.

Don't be sad.

If you have

nowhere to go,

just follow me.

Since you know to play zither,

you can play it

for Great Consort in normal days.

Great Consort.

Please rise.

I am no longer a Great Consort.

Chun Fang,

from now on,

you must mind your words.

Yes.

What does Miss Waner

think?

Living in the imperial mausoleum

is definitely not as lively as in Jian Kang City.

Is

Miss Waner willing to stay here?

I do.

Madam, thank you for taking me in.

Let's go then.

Jie Shi Monument

Why don't you guys work?

Clean it up now.

Don't we always

act like this?

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Chun Fang, forget it.

Open the window!

She's demoted

to a commoner, didn't she?

She's just the same like us.

What did you say?

Say it again.

Did I say anything wrong?

You...

Which sentence did I say wrong?

What did I say wrong?

Drag her out.

Guards.

Yes.

Your Highness, I know I did wrong.

Your Highness, I know I did wrong.

Go.

I...

Your Highness, please spare me.

Mother.

Xuan.

It's fine.

I'll punish everyone who flatters the noble

and insults the commoner once I meet.

Clean it up now.

Yes.

Look. This place looks good

after it's cleaned, right?

Yes.

I'm fine.

When I followed Gaozu

set out on an expedition,

the place we stayed was worse than here.

Mother,

please take a good rest.

I will find someone to renovate this place now.

Ji Shu.

Yes.

Go find the best craftsman to fix it.

Also,

get some flowers and plants here.

Especially peony.

Mother loves peony the most.

All right. I got it.

Your Highness, please rest assured.

Xuan, you must be tired.

No.

Shen's mansion

Madam, let's get in the carriage.

Where are we going?

We are going to find Lige.

You just came back from Xuyi County.

Lige misses you so much.

Who is Lige?

I don't know her.

I'm going to find Jia.

I want to find Jia.

I want to find Jia.

I'm going to find Jia.

Okay.

Let's go find Lige first.

Then, we'll go find Jia, okay?

Okay then.

Let's get in the carriage first.

Go.

She wants to find Jia?

Could it be that

she can't recognise Lige any more?

Your Highness,

Chief Secretariat is here.

You may leave first.

Chief Secretariat protected the courtiers...

and made great contribution by rescuing Military Advisor Cao.

King Peng Cheng has granted rewards.

Shouldn't you wait to be rewarded

in your mansion?

What are you doing here?

Are you still mad at me?

Didn't I explain it to you?

That day,

it's a temperory measure for me to pretend conspiring with

Great Consort and Lu Yuan.

If Lu Yuan knew

I have already figured out what's on his mind,

how could we still be alive

and talk here now?

Don't you

talk anything nonsense

before King Peng Cheng.

All right.

I'm not coming

to discuss about this with you today.

King Peng Cheng returned from battle with victory.

Recently,

has His Highness come to see you?

I'll take care of

internal affairs of the mansion.

Chief Secretariat shall not bother about it.

How could it be internal affairs?

Shen Lige worked so hard to plan everything...

in order to win King Peng Cheng's heart.

Do you know

her real intention?

As the Princess Consort,

you look like this doesn't matter to you.

Have you ever

thought about the future of the Xie family?

It seems like Chief Secretariat

have worried too much.

Battlefield is so dangerous.

Concubine Li have gone through fire and water with King Peng Cheng.

Her contribution can't be ignored.

The two of them love each other sincerely.

If one day, she could give birth to the eldest son of King Peng Cheng,

it wasn't a bad thing though.

I will bless them sincerely.

Your Highness!

I know how to deal with those internal affairs in the mansion.

Chief Secretariat, please say no more.

Great Consort

brought King Peng Cheng up,

but King Peng Cheng neglects about Great Consort's kindness,

and sent Her Highness to imperial mausoleum.

Don't you worry

someday

His Highness will also ignore you

and you will end up have the same fate as Great Consort?

Could you really

ignore the Xie family?

Great Consort moved to the imperial mausoleum.

It's all because her actions...

disappointed His Highness.

Her Highness has to bear the consequences for her own doing.

Chief Secretariat,

four generations of the Xie family

are all loyal to Song.

Brother, you should know how to be

a loyal official better then me.

The traitor, Lu Yuan died and even his reputation's ruined.

You should mind your words and actions

as well as learn a lesson from that.

You should loyal to

the emperor and King Peng Cheng.

You...

All right.

I've said a lot today.

Brother,

please go back and think about it.

See the visitor out.

All right.

Chief Secretariat, please.

Hong Dan,

bring another cushion here.

Coming,

Hurry.

Put one more here

so that my mother will sit more comfortably.

Get some water too.

Let me do it.

All right.

Come.

Keep it warm.

Concubine Li.

Right,

and my mother’s favorite lotus seed soup.

Is it ready to serve?

Yes.

I'll serve it later.

Good.

Hong Dan,

do you think my mother

will like this kind of decoration?

When she sees this,

she may think that I'm doing well

and living happily.

Madam Shen will definitely like it

since Concubine Li personally prepared it.

Young lady, madam is here.

Mother.

Mother, you're...

Greetings, Concubine Li.

Aren't you Concubine Li?

Why did you call me as mother?

Zijin,

why are we here?

I'm going to find my Jia.

Mother.

Madam.

As soon as I see you,

I feel so familiar...

and think of my mother.

Since you're here,

please sit down first.

Right, madam.

Let's sit down first.

Come.

Here.

This room

looks elegant yet simple.

Concubine Li must be

a straighforward person.

This is

very similar to us, the Shen family.

The Shen family

is a military family.

We behave

straightforwardly.

Yes.

Just do whatever your heart says.

About living,

we shall live comfortably.

It doesn't need to be complicated.

Madam Shen,

I personally made this

lotus seed soup for you.

Please try it.

Come.

Let me feed you.

No need.

I can do it myself.

Okay.

The taste of this lotus seed soup

tastes so familiar.

My mother told me before

the most important thing in making lotus seed soup...

is not to remove the core.

She said,

we're from a military family.

We've gone through various hardships

and even always lived in danger.

Although women stay at home,

we must not forget it too.

So,

in our mansion,

the lotus seed core can't be removed

when we're making lotus seed soup

because

we want to taste its bitterness.

I made this lotus seed soup

personally according to

my mother's recipe.

Madam, do you like it?

Mother.

Mother, I made lotus seed soup for you.

I didn't remove the lotus seed core.

Taste it now.

Madam.

This lotus seed soup is delicious.

Thank you, Concubine Li.

Have more then.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Concubine Li,

I shall leave now.

Take care.

Zijin.

-Let's go. -Okay.

You're chatting with Madam

but Madam can't recognise you at all.

You must be very sad.

In the prison,

we're mutilated by Lu Yuan.

My mother is probably afraid of losing me again

and chooses to forget me.

For her, at that time,

this may be the best choice.

As long as she is happy

and healthy,

it doesn't matter

if she remembers me or not.

Let's be patient

to wait for your father

and your eldest brother's return.

Once your family reunions,

Madam's illness

will surely get better.

Sister Zijin,

don't worry.

When we're at Matou,

King Peng Cheng has

married you off to my eldest brother.

Moreover,

your father is also a man of righteousness.

I believe

after my eldest brother returns,

you two lovebirds

will get married and be together for sure.

We must wait for them to come back.

Zijin,

why are you still standing there?

I'll accompany Madam to go back first.

Zijin,

come and sit down.
