Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty

[Episode 32]

21

You are looking better and better. Let's go to the grassland when it gets warmer.

22

Do you remember the first time I took you there to ride a horse?

23

Of course. I'll never forget that in my lifetime.

24

We rode on the same horse, but the bridle was controlled by me. I was really scared!

25

It's lucky you weren't scared to death, or else I couldn't have married you. It would be my great loss.

26

13th Prince, Consort, someone is here from the palace.

27

Let's go.

28

Greetings, 13th Prince.

29

-Eunuch Li.

-His Majesty sent me here to see how you are doing.

30

His Majesty is concerned about your recovery from the injury and he has commanded me

31

to bring valuable medicine to help in your healing.

32

Please tell Father I am grateful, Eunuch Li.

33

I apologize for not being able to stand up to greet you.

34

His Majesty actually wants you

35

to go into the palace to see him.

36

His Majesty misses you, but he can't leave the palace

37

so he wants me to come and see how you are doing.

38

A filial son needs to do his duty. If Father wants to see me, of course I will go.

39

Since my injury, I have not gone to the palace to see Father for a long time.

40

Please tell Father I will go tomorrow.

41

-I will take my leave now.

-Goodbye, Eunuch Li.

42

I never thought our happy and relaxed time will end so soon.

43

I know, but we can't disappoint those people who are waiting to see us fail.

44

Thirteenth Prince and Thirteenth Consort have arrived.

45

It's impossible that his leg can get better so fast.

46

It's been a while since I've seen all of you.

47

14th brother, congratulations on your promotion to becoming a General.

48

Yin Xiang, it's been a while,

49

but you look as good as ever.

50

Thirteenth Brother, your leg was badly injured at the racecourse that day;

51

we are worried that your leg will have lingering problems.

52

Yin Xiang feels relaxed now, since he is not caught up in conflicts and schemes,

53

and can enjoy life leisurely. You have no need to worry.

54

I am relieved to see that you are recovering well.

55

Take time to walk around and exercise.

56

Yes, Father.

57

You are still young,

58

while I am already in my senior years.

59

Even with the coming of old age,

60

I still want to see that this great country

61

will continue on in peace and safety.

62

In the future, my descendants will have to

63

protect and govern this country of ours.

64

Royal Father, why do you say that? The Emperor's government will last forever.

65

You are a great emperor that cannot be replaced.

66

The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself.

67

I look forward to the day when you can lead the troops on a military expedition again.

68

Yes, Father.

69

Your Father personally appointed you to head this expedition

70

so be sure to defeat those barbarians invading the border

71

and come back as a winner.

72

Don't worry, I will not disappoint you or Father.

73

At this point, it doesn't matter how they fight,

74

or who prevails you don't tangle with them.

75

As long as you win the battle and return victorious,

76

the throne will be yours.

77

So according to you, this expedition

78

is an opportunity created by Father especially for me?

79

I will do my best and

80

you can wait for my good news.

81

I feel reassured.

82

I will wait here for you to come back and inherit the throne.

83

Fourteenth Prince, Thirteenth Prince is there.

84

You may go.

85

Fourteenth Brother.

86

Thirteenth Brother, this is the first time I've come to see you since your injury.

87

Recently I have been training the troops,

88

and I'll lead them soon to Dzungaria to put down the rebellion.

89

I would like to see you recovered soon

90

so you can join me in the battlefield.

91

14th Brother, this battle is very important to our country.

92

You must not feel hesitant when defending our country.

93

Now that you're specially appointed, you must take the responsibility to keep our country safe.

94

You must win this battle.

95

Of course. I will not return unless I am victorious.

96

Don't worry, I promise I will destroy the enemy.

97

Good.

98

Take care of yourself.

99

Your Majesty, due to the battle the fiscal expenditure is increasing.

100

The taxes paid from all regions are scarce.

101

In addition, officials are excessive and waste more than half of the expenditures.

102

I'm afraid we'll soon be affected by shortages.

103

This battle

104

has exposed all my worries.

105

Abuse of power and officials idle-ling.

106

It's time to solve the problem once for all.

107

Who is willing to go and take care of the problem?

108

No one?

109

Yin Si, will you go?

110

Father, I would be willing

111

except that there are other urgent matters I have to take care of right now.

112

I would not be able to give my full attention to address the problem.

113

What about you, Yin Tang?

114

I don't have experience dealing with this type of problem, I'm afraid...

115

Father...

116

I... I...

117

Fine. Let's stop here.

118

Father, I am willing to try.

119

Good. I will let you be in charge.

120

Yes.

121

Your Highness! Your Highness! My father is innocent!

122

Daughter, don't be rude!

123

- Your Highness, let me handle this. Please...

- No needed.

124

Let her pass.

125

Your Highness, please don't dismiss my father!

126

- Say it.

- Your Highness.

127

My father has managed the office more than 10 years, but he has never embezzled anything.

128

His monthly payment is very low but, he has to support the whole family.

129

Your Highness, the time you starts to clear positions, many corrupt officials shield each other.

130

Officials as upright and honest as my father are now suffering!

131

We have no land to plant. If my father is fire,

132

How is our family suppose to live on, Your Highness?

133

Your Highness, I beg your mercy! Your Highness!

134

- He's an upright official.

- Your Highness!

135

- Your Highness!

- Please!

136

Please do not condemn an innocent man!

137

Get up.

138

Little girl, if your father is innocent

139

His Majesty will be fair to him.

140

Thank you, Your Highness.

141

- Thank you, Your Highness.

- Thank you, Your Highness.

142

Thank you, Your Highness!

143

4th Brother, you should drink your tea before it cools down.

144

I've never thought that you'll be bothered by mundane matters.

145

You always do your tasks without hesitation.

146

I thought it's just about official reduction,

147

but i didn't realize it's almost become a tool for corrupt officials

148

to make the innocent suffer.

149

It has always been a difficult task separating good from evil.

150

Yin Xinag, do you have any good idea?

151

Within a few days,

152

you have to reorganize all the officials.

153

Not only keeping the upright, but also clearing the corrupts.

154

It's impossible for you alone to visit each government office

155

and distinguish them one roll after another.

156

- so we need to count on another power to complete it.

- Which one?

157

Citizens. Whether an official is good or bad, only the citizens know.

158

In this way we can ask the citizens to nominate their own officials,

159

especially where the corruption is serious. We can even hold a hearing for a few days,

160

to allow the citizens to make nominations. The upright officials will stay in their positions,

161

without payment cut, but with big rewards. The corrupt ones

162

will be dismissed immediately and punished severely.

This can be a warning.

163

Yes. We should listen to the citizens,

164

and use their power to eliminate those corrupts.

165

It'll rectify the government officials behavior.

166

and send a warning to others.

167

That's good.

168

Why are you taking it away?

169

You usually complain that new tea that the imperial physician opened is bitter so you don't drink it.

170

Today Your Majesty wants to drink it.

171

It looks like you're in a good mood, Your Majesty.

172

I already heard

173

the officials everywhere are being reorganized recently to correct their behaviors,

174

and that a huge sum of taxes due has been collected.

175

I'm guessing that you must be happy, Your Majesty.

176

Your news is quite fast.

177

All thanks to 4th son. He helped me

178

to solve a big problem.

179

The 4th Prince is rigorous and impartial and acts resolutely. His Highness really stands out from all the princes.

180

He's just lucky to have a good adviser.

181

Adviser?

182

I sent them to him.

183

Even though he has no interest in the throne, he can assist with government affairs.

184

With someone like him to give you advise and counsel,

185

What else is there that he can't handle?

186

Come. We were able to succeed this time

187

is all thanks to 13th Brother. This cup of wine,

188

let me toast you. Thank you very much.

189

There is no need for you to thank me. On the other hand, I am thankful to get to enjoy sister-in-law's great cooking.

190

4th Brother, let's drink.

191

If you like my cooking, you should come more often.

192

Go ahead and enjoy the food.

193

Xiao Wei, try this.

194

It's my favorite braised salmon. Try it!

195

It smells delicious! You have great cooking skills.

196

Thank you.

197

Xiao Wei, you should learn from sister-in-law

198

and cook some nice dishes for me.

199

What do you mean? Are you saying my cooking is bad?

200

Do you want me to remind you?

201

Noodle boiled with radish, dragon's eye stew with pickled pepper and pork intestines stew with honey.

202

I was trying to innovate. We can progress only if we try new things.

203

-Okay.

-It's best to eat more and talk less.

204

-Eat more too.

-I want that one.

205

-Let me help you get it.

-That one.

206

Prince, eat some too.

207

Okay.

208

You must remember to wear the winter clothes I made you.

209

It's cold outside the palace. Remember to keep warm. Be careful.

210

Don't worry.

211

Wait for me at home.

212

Set out.

213

His Majesty has greatly praised the 4th and 13th princes for the reorganization of the officials.

214

The payments has been cut down and due taxes have been collected. They worked together perfectly. They have done a great job.

215

At this important time, 14th Prince is absent from the capital.

216

On the current situation is not good if His Highness

wants the throne.

217

14th Prince has been appointed by His Majesty for the expedition.

218

Even if the 4th and 13th princes put themselves in the spotlight,

219

it will only last for a while.

220

I've been serving His Majesty for years and I know his thoughts .

221

His Majesty likes the 4th Prince with the 13th Prince as his adviser,

222

His Highness will certainly form a team to take the throne

223

The two working together is by far stronger even than the 14th Prince.

224

It looks like His Majesty has changed his mind.

225

It's sooner or later.

226

No matter what, 14th must be the one who gets the throne.

227

Nothing can go wrong.

228

Any obstacle has to be eliminated.

229

I must think of something.

230

4th Prince,

231

These few days, you've been busy with government affairs.

232

You come home everyday and lock yourself up in this study room.

233

I worry that you will be stressed out. So I asked the kitchen to make you some tonic.

234

Hurry and drink it while it's warm.

235

You can leave it there.

236

I wonder what you are so busy doing everyday, so that you wouldn't pay any attention to me.

237

Leave it!

238

Who says you can touch my things?

239

I just wanted to take a look!

240

From now on, you are not allowed into my study without my permission.

241

Go out!

242

I said go out!

243

Sister.

244

I was wondering who it was. It's 14th Consort.

245

All the people in the palace say that you sisters got married to a Prince.

246

And have put yourselves under good patronage.

247

However, some people are just insatiable and like flirting around.

248

You have a shameless younger sister

249

It seems that you are not better than her.

250

Sister Nian, what is troubling you?

251

Why are you so angry?

252

Could it be because of the issue with my younger sister and 4th Prince?

253

Indeed. Even you know about it.

254

I knew that she seduced 4th Prince or else someone with principles as him

255

would never have locked himself up in the study room drawing her portrait like enchanted.

256

Sister Nian, it seems you have been troubled by this for quite a long time

257

but how come you don't understand that such a simple matter.

258

If someone is in your way, Sister

259

just take care of them.

260

13th Prince, how do you feel today?

261

My leg is feeling better after the imperial physician took a look. It hasn't been hurting lately.

262

You're so skilled, imperial physician. Yin Xiang's leg was able to heal so quickly all thanks to you.

263

In fact I have a way that mat cure the wound once for all.

264

-It's just that...

-What prescription is it? No matter what it is,

we're willing to do it.

265

This most important thing on this prescription is an herb.

266

We need this Sambucus Thunbergiana herb so it can be more powerful.

267

- Sambucus Thunbergiana?

- But it's really difficult to get this herb

268

It's only possible to find it deep in the woods while it's still cold

269

then you'll be able to find it.

270

It's so difficult to get it. Will it really work?

271

If we can find this herb, it will greatly mitigate the pain,

272

or even fully heal your leg, 13th Prince.

273

I'm going to find this herb and cure him.

274

Consort, can we take a break?

275

Then you take a break here. I'll go ahead and look. Wait for me here and I'll look for you.

276

Consort, wait for me. I'll go with you.

277

Consort! Consort, where did you go?

278

Consort! Consort, where did you go?

279

Consort! Consort!

280

Help! Help!

281

Help! Help! Someone come and help me!

282

Help! Help!

283

Help! Someone come and help me! Help!

284

Help!

285

13th, how's your leg injury recently.

286

-It's much better.

-Then I'm at ease.

287

Prince, something happend. Consort is missing!

288

What? Why is Consort suddenly missing?

289

It's all my fault. Consort wanted to find the herb for you, Prince.

290

She went into the deep forest alone.

291

I slipped and wasn't able to catch up then Consort disappeared.

292

-This won't do. I have to go save her.

-13th Prince.

-13th.

293

-Don't be anxious first.

-How can I not be anxious?

294

The mountains is dangerous. What if Xiao Wei...

295

-if Xiao Wei fell of a cliff or encountered wild animal? Then she'll be even more in danger.

-Come back.

296

Your leg injury is still not healed. Don't be impulsive. I'll bring everyone to find Xiao Wei.

297

Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to find her.

298

4th Brother, you must bring her back safe and sound.

299

-Don't worry. Quan'er, let's go.

-Yes.

300

I'll hurry up and go look for her. Let's go.

301

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

302

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

303

13th Consort, where are you?

304

-Xiao Wei!

-13th Consort!

305

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

306

Look carefully. 13th Consort must be nearby. Hurry!

307

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

308

-Consort!

-Consort, where are you?

309

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

310

13th Consort!

311

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

312

-13th Consort!

-Xiao Wei?

313

Xiao Wei!

314

13th Consort!

315

Xiao Wei!

316

13th Consort!

317

Xiao Wei!

318

Xiao Wei! Xiao Wei!

319

Xiao Wei!

320

You may go back. Take care of your mouth.

321

If anyone knows what happened today...

322

Yes.

323

4th Brother?

324

Xiao Wei?

325

-4th Brother, why are you here?

-Why are you here?

326

I was hung for no reason and once nightfall arrived,

327

that rope broke itself. I don't even know what was going on.

328

Earlier when I was in the forest, I saw a girl who looked like you.

329

Could it be that someone made us come here on purpose?

330

-13th Consort!

-Consort!

-There's light here. Hurry.

331

Consort!

332

It's really you. We finally found you.

333

4th Prince, you...

334

Since you guys came then bring 13th Consort back to the manor.

335

Take a good rest.

336

Consort.

337

Mother.

338

Mother, don't be too worried. Younger Sister Xiao Wei probably just got lost.

339

They already sent people to look for her. They'll definitely find her.

340

She's in the wilderness after all. What will happen if she encounters a wild animal and gets hurt?

341

-Greetings Mother.

-You may rise.

342

Why are you two here?

343

Replying to Mother, we already heard about 13th Consort's issue.

344

We were wondering what's the situation now.

345

Replying to Your Highness, 13th Consort has been found.

346

She has been found?

347

This is great. Where did they find 13th Consort?

348

She was found in an empty house in the mountains. And...

349

Also what?

350

Why are you hesitating for? Mother has been worried for the whole night.

351

I only heard that when they found 13th Consort

352

4th Prince was together with her.

353

What did you say? 4th was there too?

354

Why would Prince...

355

Are you sure it's 4th Prince and they didn't saw it wrong?

356

Full of nonsense. Who told you to slander 13th Consort and 4th Prince?

357

Slap your mouth!

358

Your Highness, spare me.

359

Mother, there's no need to be angry at an outsider. It's just rumors

360

but what should we do about this?

361

4th Brother and Younger Sister Xiao Wei are involved now.

362

Although it's a gossip, if someone intentionally whisper it around

363

At that time, 4th Brother's face

364

and that of the Royal Family...?

365

-Dong Lian.

-I'm here.

366

Tell everyone that everything that happened today shouldn't be leaked.

367

If I know anyone is gossip around

368

-then beat them to death.

-Yes.

369

-You may rise too.

-Yes.

370

-You may leave.

-Yes.

371

You guys listen too. Today's issue

372

must be suppressed and not let the rumors spread.

373

-Do you all understand?

-Yes.

374

I'm so mad.

375

How dare them. They clearly know that our Sister Qi Xiang has a bad temper and they still dared to provoke you. Who on earth is it?

376

-It's you!

-Me?

377

I went to the palace and what those maid and eunuch gossip about

378

It makes me so angry just by hearing them.

379

-What did they say?

-You're still asking?

380

Oh, 13th Consort and 4th Prince's affection?

381

You're still talking about it? They already said enough outside.

382

Enough, Qi Xiang. Just spare Shun'er.

383

Consort De already said that whoever keep saying then they'll be punished heavily.

384

Yet they're still doing it as if they feared the gossip would not spread.

385

That's what is called a gossip. It's like the wind

386

that is always by your side, but you can never catch it.

387

A wise man never believe in gossips.

The wind will stop someday.

388

Okay, Qi Xiang. Don't be angry. Go make some food. I'm hungry.

389

Let's go.

390

-Yin Xiang.

-Okay.

391

If you want to apologize then there's no need.

392

You should know that these rumors won't ruin our relationship.

393

Yes. If a my husband would mind those rumors,

I would feel surprised.

394

Then why do you look worried?

395

I wonder why they try so hard to do something

that would never hurt us.

396

Do they have a motive?

397

Let them be. As long as you and I are together

we will certainly go through it .

398

I'm afraid that this is only the beginning.

399

Sister, do you know what the people say outside?

400

They said that His Highness prefers to meet someone else's wife

401

and not meet his own Consorts.

402

Stop talking.

403

Sister, aren't you angry?

404

At the beginning I thought it was because His Highness was not interested in love, I even accepted that.

405

Who would've known that he keeps thinking about someone else in his heart.

406

Do you know that he risked his life

407

and went to look for her without caring about his own life.

408

Sister say, did Prince every treat us like that?

409

As wives, we can only care about our part.

410

We don't need to care about Prince's issues.

411

Sister, calm down.

412

All of this suddenly happened. You can't come up with a conclusion without confirming it.

413

Perhaps all of this was a misunderstanding.

414

Misunderstand? At this point, you're still talking for her?

415

We're 4th Prince's wives yet you're talking for an outsider?

416

Did you get any benefits from her? Sister, this is a business between the wives right?

417

Are you done causing a ruckus? You're not allowed to mention anything from outside

418

making the manor in chaos.

419

Can you really endure this anger?

420

Okay, you guys can endure it

421

but I can't!

422

- Your Highness.

- Where are your manners?

423

It my fault for not managing the house well.

424

- Please forgive us.

- It was me who did it.

425

There are rumors about Your Highness outside.

426

I couldn't hold my anger. I hope Your Highness

427

gives us an explanation.

428

I don't need to give you an explanation.

429

-But outside they keep saying...

-Stop talking.

430

4th Prince, sorry.

431

The person that I love isn't you.

432

I can't accept your love, 4th Prince.

433

This time, I won't let you go this easily.

434

Let go of me!

435

Greetings, 13th Consort.

436

I was wondering why Consort De told me to come today.

437

Perhaps recently, Her Highness

438

is worried about the rumors in the palace

439

and wants to speak with me since I have nothing to do.

isn't that true sister?

440

Who has nothing to do? Everyone knows it.

441

Everyone will know who is causing troubles

442

and putting people against each other.

443

Younger Sister, of course I believe that you're innocent

444

but the people outside are different. They're not like me who can tell the difference between right and wrong.

445

There is something true about having a reputation.

446

If it's ruin then it's ruin. You can't change it back.

447

I believe only in one thing. A clean hand does not need to be washed.

448

Well said.

449

4th Brother and I are innocent. If you don't believe me then you should believe 4th Brother.

450

If you didn't seduce Prince then why he can not forget about you?

451

This is the Palace of Eternal Spring. Do not make trouble here.

452

4th Consort, sorry.

453

At this point, there's no point of saying anything but I will find the person who did this

454

and prove my innocence.

455

You all are here.

456

I have invited all the consorts for a tea party today

457

and hope that in the future everyone can get along.

458

There's been too many rumors recently in the palace. I hope that these rumors

459

won't ruin everyone's relationship.

460

I have found out who spread the rumors. That person will be severely punished.

461

I hope you all are discreet

462

and set good examples for the whole harem.

463

Does everyone understand what I mean?

466

♫ I'm sitting on the rooftop ♫

467

♫ I feel the breeze blow on my face ♫

468

♫ It feels really light, this beautiful scenery ♫

469

♫ Yet I feel lonely ♫

470

♫ You and I are in two different spaces ♫

471

♫ It's also a breeze in the spring ♫

472

♫ It's still the same scenery ♫

473

♫ Your face is close to mine ♫

474

♫ I can touch your breath ♫

475

♫ Your smile is in the blue sky ♫

476

♫ A lonely roof without your shadow ♫

477

♫ You are still stuck on my mind ♫

478

♫ only the image of your weeping face ♫

479

♫ I'm not stronger than you, the tears run to my heart ♫

480

♫ But I want to leave a smiling face for you ♫

481

♫ Your face is close to mine ♫

485

♫ You are still stuck on my mind ♫

486
