Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty

[Episode 27]

21

Greetings, Your Majesty.

22

Your Majesty, here is your medicine.

23

The medicine is bitter, why don't you drink some tea to alleviate the bitterness?

24

Your Majesty, I've noticed

25

that you seem to like the balance that Yin Xiang sent you.

26

You really find it that interesting?

27

He's really thoughtful

28

sending me this thing to play with.

29

Even though I am not his biological mother, I did raise him.

30

He is a smart and considerate boy, though he can be childish at times.

31

But in his heart, he is more mature and reliable than anyone else.

32

Since he is your son, of course he is considerate like you.

33

Do you think I'm getting old?

34

Your Majesty, you must be joking! You are not even a bit old!

35

It's just that you have to worry about your grown children.

36

8th is pressing tight and Crown Prince asks to be deposed.

37

Yin Zhen and Yin Xiang are controlled by their passion,

38

how can I not worry?

39

Each of your sons has a different personality,

40

you should let them be who they are and not worry so much.

41

I don't want to worry about it

42

But everyday in the royal court, matters small and large are many and cumbersome.

43

Lately, I really do feel fatigue and often feel I cannot focus.

44

What do you mean? The Great Qing is stable.

45

The nation and the people are safe and prosperous all due to your hard work.

46

but Your Majesty has been worrying about government affairs. It is time to rest.

47

Did I say something wrong?

48

What you said is right.

49

I do want to have a good rest. It is time

50

to find a suitable Emperor for our Qing.

51

The matter of appointing the heir apparent is a complex one.

52

Crown Prince.

53

13th Brother, you're here.

54

Thank you for your help, Crown Prince. I don't know how to repay you.

55

I let you suffer for no reason. I'm sorry.

56

What words are there? When I promised you, I told you

57

Any sacrifice by me is content by me and I only ask that I don't owe to my conscience.

58

Your magnitude truly aspires inspiration from me.

59

Everyone has to lose something. Some choose the great cause.

60

Some choose riches. Everyone has their own measure.

61

As to which way it leans, it doesn't matter.

62

What matters is that they cannot lose their integrity.

63

or else when you walk this road,

64

you won't be able to find the direction.

65

You are one to never have lost your principles.

66

13th Brother, I was able to show my power at the end

67

and cleared the path for you, thus I was not crown prince for vain.

68

Moreover, I've always wanted to repay Xiao Wei about saving Xiao Chun.

69

This was also considered my wish.

70

I'm leaving this Eastern Palace,

71

I must take these two white orchid bushes I planted for Xiao Chun,

72

and bring it to my new palace.

73

Crown Prince, you are truly devoted.

74

Why do you still call me Crown Prince. Don't call these vain names anymore. Call me Second Brother.

75

-2nd Brother.

-Good.

76

2nd Brother, let me send you off.

77

Greetings, Your Majesty.

78

You may rise.

79

Last time you said that you came back for Yin Xiang.

80

Which is very understandable.

81

That's right. I did said that.

82

Yin Xiang is very devoted to you.

83

In order to save you, he's putting quite an effort.

84

but this person, Yalaerta Ming Wei,

85

already got sentenced by me. She can't stay alive in this world.

86

I can grant you a wish.

87

Your Majesty, please give Yin Xiang hope

88

so he can live on peacefully.

89

Yin Xiang.

90

I'm here.

91

In order to preserve the Great Qing's pulse, I shall grant you a marriage.

92

The match is with Minister of Finance, Ma'er Han's daughter.

93

Yu Ning.

94

Ma Er Han has a daughter?

95

-I remember that Ma Er Han only has a daughter.

-Bring Yu Ning into the court!

96

I am Yu Ning. Greetings, Your Majesty.

97

-Hurry and get up.

-Thank you, Your Majesty.

98

It's great now. Not only did Xiao Wei didn't die, she also has a new identity.

99

Now she's a proper 13th Prince Consort by name and true.

100

I don't understand why. About them deceiving Father,

101

so let go of the past so easily?

102

Say something. You didn't help 8th Brother at the court and you're pretending to be mute now?

103

You're really lacking in brotherhood.

104

14th Brother, I had thought you were a man of devotion and loyalty.

105

Enough. Stop talking about 14th Brother. Don't put him in a hard position.

106

I've seen it through already and understand

107

Royal Father never considered me as an heir to the throne.

108

No matter how hard I try, everything always seem to be futile.

109

I also don't understand at all.

110

8th Brother is versed in the five scriptures and his talent surpasses everyone.

111

And the recommendation of many.

112

Why doesn't Father like you?

113

Why?

114

It's because my mother is a palace maid.

115

She is not descended from a noble family.

116

So according to 8th Brother, among us,

117

only 14th brother would be favored by Father.

118

No wonder he never puts in a good word for you.

119

He is actually looking out for himself.

120

If I want to compete with 8th brother, would I still be sitting here?

121

You're right.

122

Yin Ti, I am willing to use all my resources

123

and power for you.

124

Eighth Brother!

125

Today in court,

126

you did not defend or assist me.

127

That's because you saw the situation clearly.

128

To Royal Father, you are not part of either.

129

You acted neutral, so you still have hope

130

of being considered for the throne. If you succeed to the throne someday,

131

I will not feel that my efforts have been wasted.

132

You want me to help you gain the throne?

133

No.

134

You do it for yourself. If one day Yin Zhen

135

or Yin Xiang wins the throne,

136

will you be able to accept it? You won't.

137

You never want to submit to Yin Zhen or Yin Xiang. You've competed with them from the time you were little.

138

Don't you want a final victory?

139

I and your two brothers here

140

will do our best to help you.

141

Alright, I will do my best

142

in this contest with them.

143

You may all leave.

144

Are you satisfied?

145

She survived because of you.

146

I never expected you would be willing

147

to sacrifice 8th brother in order to save her.

148

What are you saying?

149

You anticipated Yin Xiang's plan,

150

yet you did nothing to stop it nor did you tell 8th brother.

151

You did it all for that woman,

152

even though you could never have her.

153

What about you?

154

If you already knew something wasn't right,

155

why didn't you tell someone?

156

Though 8th Brother is popular with the people, he is not liked by the Emperor.

157

He's never had a real chance at gaining the throne.

158

That's why you decided

159

to take over for Eighth brother.

160

Even if it's like that, you don't need to go after why I did it.

161

Since I've already disappointed 8th Brother's hopes, I won't be so soft-hearted anymore.

162

Also, don't interfere with our endeavors anymore.

163

Stay away from the political struggle. Don't disappoint me.

164

May the World Rejoice in Unison

165

That Grand Prince has such a flair.

166

He just lacks all the notes in tune.

167

The decor is nice.

168

But to be born a royalty, yet having leisure to do as he pleases,

169

it's a great thing actually.

170

Everything already passed.

171

4th Brother.

172

Sit.

173

I invited that Zhao a few days ago and he said he didn't have time.

174

So I guess he's being playing an esteemed guest in the Grand Prince's manor instead.

175

Who is that?

176

That's Zhao Fengchu, a famous singer of the capital.

177

Award them.

178

Award them.

179

Thank you Prince and Consort.

180

I rewarded this for Boss Zhao.

181

Thank you, 10th Prince.

182

Pick it up.

183

I rewarded that to Boss Zhao. Do you deserve to pick it up?

184

Pick up your own money.

185

Stop.

186

I want you to pick it up while kneeling.

187

10th Prince, Boss Zhao is a valuable customer.

188

I'll help him pick up these silver

189

Prince, the master picking up the reward on behalf of the slave?

190

You don't care about the rules but you should at least have some pride.

191

Boss Zhao sang well and put everyone in good mood.

192

Of course he should be rewarded. Since the silver's already been tipped off, it's no longer yours.

193

so Boss Zhao can pick it up however he wants.

194

4th Brother, right?

195

Isn't this my 13th Brother's new consort?

196

What? We haven't seen in a while and you still like to be in people's business?

197

You still haven't learned to be obedient?

198

Today, I'm going to make him pick it up while kneeling.

199

What can you do with me?

200

I only care about being fair.

201

If you don't agree, I have no choice either.

202

but if this gets leaked,

203

saying 10th Prince is a bully, and you would have lost money and gained no praise.

204

that will ruin the royal's reputation.

205

You...

206

Thank you, 10th Prince for the reward.

207

Enough, 10th Brother. I've told you many times. When can you change your temper?

208

It's rare to see everyone happy today. Stop causing chaos.

209

Come over here and sit down.

210

Drink tea.

211

Right.

212

Boss Zhao sang good. I have rewards here too.

213

Boss Zhao, go backstage to get your reward.

214

Come.

215

Come.

216

4th Brother, what's wrong?

217

Nothing.

218

Just seeing this table full of delicacies, I am reminded of the saying by Li Taibai.

219

"A jade plate of dainty food calls for a million coins."

220

That's right.

221

Any dish here can last a couple months for others.

222

But the princes have no care about the bitter lives of the people.

223

Living off of the people yet without restraint to frugality.

224

It would've been better if they didn't know.

225

I'm afraid that they're just pretending.

226

4th Prince, this isn't something we can change.

227

Come.

228

4th Brother, for Xiao Wei. Let me give you a toast.

229

Okay.

230

I saved Xiao Wei because of you

231

but sometimes...

232

4th Brother, it early passed.

233

I was able to reunite with Xiao Wei was because of you.

234

I haven't got a chance to thank you yet.

235

That's right. It already passed

236

but do you really don't have resent?

237

I'm only thankful right now. Not only did you save Xiao Wei's life,

238

you also saved my life.

239

Here's a toast for saving Xiao Wei and me.

240

Okay. Then I must drink this cup of wine.

241

Come.

242

13th Brother, let's go. Let's go.

243

Go to the other table with me. 14th Prince and the others are waiting for you.

244

-4th Brother.

-Go ahead.

245

14th Brother and you just got married. Go have some fun.

246

That's right. They're all waiting for you.

247

-Come with me. Hurry.

-I'll come back later.

248

-Come, 10th Brother.

-9th Brother.

249

Come. I brought 13th Brother here.

250

-8th, 9th, and 10th Brother.

-Come and bring the wine.

251

Come, 13th Brother.

252

Thank you all for coming to my humble manor for a gathering.

253

-Here's a toast for everyone.

-Good.

254

Come, 13th Brother.

255

I'll drink first.

256

Come.

257

13th Brother, I didn't get a chance to give you a toast during your marriage,

258

this cup, I'm give you a toast to wish that 13th Brother and Consort

259

May your love grow deep to last a hundred years in harmony.

260

Good. You must drink this one.

261

14th Brother has great discernment too and chose for yourself a great wife too.

262

Good. Tonight, let's get drunk.

263

-Come.

-Let's get drunk.

264

Come.

265

Yu Ning of Zhao House, right?

266

You're no longer Yalaerta Ming Wei

267

so you're not my younger sister. Don't blame me in the future for not caring about our sister relationship.

268

We never had one to begin with.

269

13th Brother, let's drink.

270

Who do you think will win between 13th and 14th Brother?

271

It's just drinking. There's no need to talk about who'll win.

272

All the men of Aisin Gioro clan are proud.

273

Whatever happens, they must fight for it.

274

Good.

275

Younger sister,

276

do you dare to bet with me on who's going to win?

277

She means which of the nine princes will take on the throne.

She seems to be determined to win.

278

Even if I tell her who wins, she will only hear it as a

joke.

279

Who are you going to bet on?

280

Of course, 14th.

281

You're talking about the princes' battle for throne.

282

Your words have no filter. I wonder if the Emperor hears it,

283

hoe he might feel about it.

284

4th Brother.

285

Is everything good?

286

That's good then. Being able to see you safe

287

and together with 13th Brother, then I'm at ease.

288

Thank you, 4th Brother.

289

-Greetings, 13th Consort.

-Boss Zhao.

290

I am grateful you helped me earlier.

291

You're too serious. Yin Xiang always tells me I am meddlesome.

292

I have to always manage things when I see any unfairness.

293

You stand out among the crowd. You are just and worthy to be praised.

294

I am just crass and can't be pacified.

295

-Do you regret?

-No.

296

There's some things that it looks like it's nothing

297

but there's only a few that dare to do it and say it.

298

If you say it that way, I feel embarrassed.

299

Xiao Wei.

300

-Greetings, 13th Prince.

-Boss Zhao.

301

Where did you go? I was long for you.

302

Did you drink a lot? You smell like alcohol.

303

-Then I'll get going.

-I won't be sending you.

304

Boss Zhao is so friendly and has a aura that makes others want to respect him.

305

-He's different.

-Yes.

306

Prince, you are drinking so much. Do you recognize me?

307

I'm fine. I can still drink.

308

I can also sing.

309

Stop drinking.

310

Prince, I know you like to sing a tune.

311

But Zhao Fengchu is a famous singer. How did you manage to invite him here?

312

Zhao Fengchu, Boss Zhao.

313

I spent a lot of money to make him come.

314

To invite him here.

315

Prince, then is this Zhao Fengchu linked to 13th Prince, Yin Xiang?

316

Boss Zhao? Zhao Fengchu?

317

He's very useful.

318

Greatly.

319

Prince has had too much to drink.

320

Greetings, 14th Consort.

321

Boss Zhao. You are so well connected.

322

Not only are you cherished by the Grand Prince, even the 13th Prince and the Prince Consort

323

both regard you differently too.

324

You are teasing me. I am humble-rooted.

325

On what would I garner the special treatment of such highly ranked people. You are joking.

326

Ming Hui.

327

Your Prince is already this drunk. Hurry and bring him to his room.

328

Yes.

329

I can still drink.

330

I can still sing.

331

We should go back too.

332

Boss Zhao, thank you for your performance today. We should go back.

333

Boss Zhao, I'm waiting for your good show.

334

Let's go.

335

Our grand army suffered gravely.

336

While Jungar's treacherous army presses onward. They are already attacking Qinghai.

337

What are you guys doing?

338

May your anger dissipate.

339

I know my offense cannot be pardoned, but I still dare

340

to speak these words on behalf of the generals and soldiers on the front line.

341

- Go ahead.

- It's not that we are not doing our utmost.

342

It's truly that our army allowance is not enough to provide us.

343

We are not able to send food and provisions to them on it, not to mention weapons.

344

It is only with their hungry wills that they are fighting, and it is hardly possible to garner victory under the circumstances.

345

Army expenditure is not enough?

346

We send so much money to your Bureau of War yearly and it's still not enough?

347

It's Bureau of Finance that's failed to provide the allocation. The fault lies solely on me.

348

I oversee the Bureau of Finance, but I've not been able to retrieve all the loans granted.

349

Hence the consequence of insufficient funds to front line.

350

Loans? What loans?

351

Royal Father. This matter has been ongoing and not just on one or two accounts.

352

The Bureau of Finance is full of bills owed.

353

The royal clan member and court ministers all borrow from Bureau of Finance nonstop.

354

They even used their status to pressure the ministry when it tries to collect money.

355

They've bankrupted the ministry, causing the soldiers at the front line to suffer hunger and cold.

356

Is what he's saying correct?

357

Then why didn't you report it earlier?

358

Royal Father, I believe the urgent matter now is to raise money for the army.

359

Since Lord Maerhan has reservations due to his status,

360

As a Prince, I should share your burden, Father.

361

To assist the lordship to collect funds owed sooner.

362

Father, I'm afraid something is wrong.

363

4th Brother, what's wrong?

364

Royal Father, since 14th Brother is so keen on taking on this heavy task, I can't sit idle either.

365

If it's collecting loans at the princes' manors,

366

it should be just a fit-throwing and the money will be collected.

367

It should be amusing and no problem.

368

What reckless nonsense are you spewing? This is a grave court matter.

369

To have you two go and it will turn the world upside down.

370

I was rash and spoke wrongly.

371

Such a heavy task.

372

It needs someone fair and neutral who will show no bias.

373

Yin Zhen.

374

I'm here.

375

You will be fully responsible of this.

376

I obey.

377

You...

378

Come.

379

4th Prince,

380

It's not that I was planning on never repaying. May you please spare me.

381

I will never dare again.

382

4th Prince, all the money owed is paid back.

383

Your loan to Bureau of Finance

384

is done.

385

Yes.

386

Let's see who will dare to go inside my manor today.

387

You even dared to mess with me. You must be tired of living.

388

10th Brother, are you preventing me from doing my task?

389

4th Brother,

390

What a fun task you've got. Getting you climbed atop your brothers.

391

10th Brother, if you can remember how much you owe to Bureau of Finance,

392

if you paid them then this would've been over.

393

It wouldn't harm our harmony either.

394

If you dare to carry out something from my manor,

395

unless you walk over my corpse!

396

Carry them.

397

Who dares to move them?

398

You bastards! Do you know who I am?

399

Put me down.

400

How dare you! Hurry and put me down.

401

What's going on?

402

Someone dared to mess with 10th Prince.

403

I know! I hear 4th Prince is helping Bureau of Finance collect loans.

404

He's already gone over to many prince and duke manors.

405

That 4th Prince is something. Iron fist and impartial.

406

Get lost!

407

Still so arrogant?

408

That's right.

409

4th, nice tactics.

410

You are cruel and disregard the dignity of the royal clan.

411

How dare you shame me.

412

You're a pig! You're a dog!

413

10th Brother, I'm doing my task based on my order. If anyone dares to go against it,

414

If you don't pay your loan, don't blame me for being heartless.

415

A person brings humiliation to oneself.

416

Stop the nonsense!

417

You're just heartless and cruel.

418

You're not afraid Royal Father will find out?

419

That you're using this to get back at me?

420

You ingrate! You've ruined the royal dignity.

421

Collect loans to gather war fund.

422

The matter of protecting the nation leaves me no guilt.

423

Just wait! I will definitely report this to Father!

424

Send 10th Prince to the palace to face His Majesty.

425

Yes!

426

Your Majesty, drink tea.

427

The medicine's chilled. Let me reprepare it for you.

428

No need.

429

I have no appetite.

430

Your Majesty, you have to think about your health.

431

Your health needs to be well for the nation.

432

I'm really getting old.

433

Back then, if the borders were in disarray, I would go to battle myself.

434

But now...

435

Now, I can only wish and depend on the princes.

436

I have some words that I must say.

437

Yin Zhen, in order to collect war funds,

438

he's assisting the Bureau of Finance to collect loans owed and he's incurred many complaints.

439

If we continue to let him, I fear it won't be proper.

440

What's wrong?

441

Yin Zhen is my son. I know him more than anyone.

442

He's serious when he does things but sometimes it's overboard.

443

His strict handling of 10th Prince was overboard indeed and words have spread on it.

444

If this continues, it will harm the brotherhood.

445

I think you're worrying too much.

446

I'm at ease with letting Yin Zhen handle this issue.

447

But Yin Zhen...

448

That day in court, Yin Zhen

449

when he mentioned the loan issue has been long time coming.

450

At that time, I thought he would be the only one who can solve this issue.

451

Everyone thought I knew nothing.

452

But the treasury is reducing day after day and wouldn't I know?

453

I am the emperor of this nation and it's my duty to balance.

454

Yin Zhen is unbiased and resolute.

455

It's the most suitable for him to handle this.

456

As for

457

whether it will harm the brotherhood, I have my thoughts too.

458

Yes.

459

You are thoughtful about it and I understand.

460

Put it all in. Make it tidy.

461

Hurry.

462

Fengchu.

463

4th Prince is on it so tight and if we continue to use the band to smuggle money out,

464

what if he finds out? It will be huge trouble.

465

Moreover, all these things aren't mines alone.

466

Don't worry, Prince.

467

I am in control of it all.

468

Open the door.

469

4th Prince, how come you came so early without telling us?

470

I...

471

Prince, you are quite forgetful.

472

So many times you've borrowed money.

473

You didn't return any.

474

If I'm seeing it correctly,

475

The first loan was seven years ago.

476

My good 4th Prince,

477

I have no money.

478

No money? It's fine.

479

I'm here to help you find the money.

480

What is this?

481

Replying to 4th Prince,

482

These are costumes and props of our troupe.

483

Boss Zhao has urgent matter to tend to back at the opera house.

484

Right, Fengchu?

485

Open it and let me take a look.
