[Beyond the Realm of Conscience]

Episode Sixteen

- Are you alright? - I'm fine.

Thank you.

Missus Man.

You came at the wrong time, Mistress Yuen. My husband just went out.

I came today to talk about how to make the mirror set.

It's something for women.

You can make the decision yourself, Madam, General Man needn't be present.

I thought you would feel happier if my husband was here.

Madam, let's talk about the design?

Sure.

- Madam, what do you think? - Do it again.

What's the problem with the design?

There are so many problems.

The peonies around the surface are so cheap.

The fish pattern for the legs are so commonplace.

The mirror is even worse.

Its bamboo pattern rims are so boring. The whole mirror set is poorly designed.

Did you put any effort in it at all, Mistress Yuen?

Or are you just lousy?

If you aren't happy with it, madam. I can design it again.

What I want is really simple. I don't want flowers, birds or fish.

I don't want pine or bamboo.

I just want it to be simple. Is it so difficult?

It appears that you've got an idea already. Why don't you enlighten me?

Right, you're a slave.

You must act according to your master's will.

Fine. I'll tell you then.

Remember this, my husband is nice to me.

He enjoys helping me wear makeup.

So the theme for the mirror set must be something in pairs.

This symbolizes our affection forever.

As such, my husband will feel how deep our love is

when he helps me put on the makeup.

Do you understand, Mistress Yuen?

You've stated it so clearly, madam. How will I get any confusion?

It's good you don't.

I hope this mirror set

will be a testimony of the everlasting love between my husband and me.

We'll grow old together.

But I'm afraid that by then, you will be a lonely old maid with gray hair.

Mistress Yuen, there's much for you to do, I won't keep you.

Tung Hang, see the guest out.

Yes, Madam.

Mistress Yuen, will I be interrupting you?

What's the matter, Sam Ho?

I need your advice.

I've studied the design you made for the empress's hairpin.

This one uses a ruby in the middle. But the empress likes the color green.

Is it more appropriate to replace it with emerald?

If the hairpin was designed for Lady Zheng back then

I would use emerald too.

But now she's the empress. She's the Head of the palace.

There's no more constraint.

That's why I put a ruby there. It's so bright and dazzling.

It makes her status as the empress stand out.

The choice of jewels should vary according to a person's status.

It shouldn't be inflexible. I get it now.

Why are you still drawing the lotus in pairs?

You completed the drawing day before yesterday already.

You said you would show it to Mrs. Man.

She said my drawings were bad. She wanted me to design it again.

She picks on you deliberately.

Maybe she's right. I can't see how deeply they are in love.

It must be so tough for you to work for the Mans.

Madam is right.

We are maids.

We need to work according to the masters' wills.

If the masters aren't happy, we must work till they are happy.

We must suffer the adversities.

We are good at that.

But, we are human beings too.

We will get tired.

I just want someone to tell me when this will be over, and when she will quit.

I want to know when God will spare me.

Don't draw anymore. Take a break.

Even if I run away today. I still need to face it tomorrow.

I know no matter how hard I try Missus Man still won't like it.

It's because she holds a grudge.

If so, how will she think my drawings are alright?

How will she feel happy about it?

Excuse me, General Man. I'm Lau Sam Ho of the Jewels Department.

I need to ask you for a favor.

Please tell Missus Man that Mistress Yuen's craftsmanship is bad.

Her attitude is disrespectful.

From now on, she needn't take care of the furnishings in your residence.

People say you speak good words, do good deeds, and show goodwill.

Why do you ask me to lie?

Missus Man picks on Mistress Yuen because of your friendship with her back then.

She's jealous. She wants to give Mistress Yuen a difficult time.

Mistress Yuen already feels upset meeting you again.

Now Missus Man picks on her too.

She's really exhausted. I feel pity for her.

That's why I take the liberty to make such a request.

Mistress Lau, you're helping the wrong person.

Twenty years ago, Mistress Yuen already drew a line with me.

She didn't treat me as a friend. How should she feel upset now?

Mistress Yuen is deeply devoted. Why do you say so, General Man?

Back then I waited for her at the bridge, but she couldn't give up her post.

She didn't come to see me.

For the sake of getting the post of department head

she gave up the chance to become my wife.

I've got a letter as proof.

Mistress Yuen didn't have a choice back then.

Before she could leave the palace, she suddenly got rashes.

She was forbidden from leaving the palace.

That's why she didn't show up at the bridge.

If so, why didn't she explain to me? She even sent me a breakup letter.

She's so cold-blooded.

A maid is predestined to grow old and die in the palace.

It's so hard to leave the palace. Mistress Yuen missed the chance once.

How would she dream about a second chance?

She did so because she didn't want to be your liability.

She hoped you could find another woman. The letter might appear to be cold-blooded.

She said she wanted to break up with you.

Actually, it's a testimony of boundless love.

She's heartbroken for your sake. Now you get fame and fortune.

You've got a wife and a daughter. That's what Mistress Yuen wanted.

She cares about you in every respect.

I implore you to do something for her in return.

Help her solve this problem.

Don't put her between you and Missus Man.

I know what I should do. Thanks for telling me the truth.

Otherwise, I would carry on with my mistake.

Your name, Sam Ho, really describes your character well.

You pray earnestly as you still love me, but you are lonely and sad.

It's been twenty years. You've suffered much hardship for me.

Mistress Lau has told me the truth.

You never showed up at the bridge because you didn't have a choice.

You've suffered so much for me, but I wasn't grateful at all.

I was even angry at you. I'm so sorry.

You didn't have any knowledge. You weren't at fault.

Besides, I've already left the feelings behind. There isn't any hardship at all.

General Man, don't be so harsh on yourself.

You are lying.

If you have really forgotten, how would you come today to worship and pray?

Today is an ordinary day.

It's no different from the first and fifteenth days.

How come it isn't different?

Other people may not know it, but I will never forget.

Twenty odd years ago on the same date, I came to the palace to work as a guard.

It's the date we met for the first time.

It's all thanks to Sam Ho for telling me the hardship you've suffered.

Why didn't you tell me when we met again?

Even if you were told the truth, could you change anything?

I owe you one.

It's destiny. No one is at fault. This is the ending I want.

Better for one person than two to suffer.

Tsui Wan.

Everyone in the palace calls me Mistress Yuen.

General Man, you've got a wife and a daughter.

You should cherish everything you've got. Don't break Missus Man's heart.

I pray for you because of our friendship before.

I hope your family is safe.

I don't mean otherwise. Please don't get me wrong, General Man.

I understand.

Great.

Heavenly Father, I'm glad to see that General Man and his family are so happy.

My wish is granted. I'm grateful.

Goodbye, General Man.

Goodbye, Mistress Yuen.

- Your Majesty. - At ease.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

General Ma, you came so early to see me. What's the matter?

Your Majesty, you haven't been to the meetings for ten days.

The officials worry about your health. They want me to come see you.

Just that? Please tell them I won't go to the morning meetings anymore.

All decisions about national affairs will be made by you.

It's alright for me to approve the documents or discuss general matters.

But you must meet the envoys from other countries

or hold the offering ceremonies personally.

There isn't any envoy from other countries yet.

It isn't time for the ceremonies either.

Let's talk about it later.

You've been evading the officials.

There's a rumor that I'm holding you under my control.

You always plan everything for me, General Ma.

You even worry about the selection of the ladies.

No one will doubt your loyalty.

If your conduct is honest and proper why are you afraid of people's gossip?

Your Majesty.

Hold it. Don't say it further. Later, I'll go to garden with mom.

Tonight, I'll try the new wine with beautiful girls.

Anyway, you take care of the national affairs for me.

Oh no, it's time to pay respect to Sweet Lotus Seed.

General Ma, you're dismissed.

You work against me for a maid. Women are really the source of trouble.

Your Majesty.

I thought you had left.

There isn't much work in the Jewels Department today.

I came to visit Sweet Lotus Seed. Later, I'll go see Kam Ling.

The Bureau Chief wants her to resume duty in the department.

Mom feels better now. Her headache has improved.

The empress doesn't need Kam Ling to serve her.

How about you, Your Majesty?

Don't you need Kam Ling's company?

Did you hear the rumor that recently I didn't go to the meetings?

I went to places with Kam Ling all the time for fun. I just drank and played, right?

Do you think I have changed?

Do you think I'm now a lousy emperor who fools around only?

You have really changed. You've become so silly.

I met you when I was six.

How would I fail to understand what kind of person you are?

You are never lousy.

I know you won't indulge in fooling around.

Even though you go everywhere for fun, you won't forget national affairs.

You won't forget the people.

I say you're silly because you think

I share the same thoughts like other people.

You have such great confidence in me?

Your Majesty suffered for twenty years. Your perseverance has no match.

You are a good emperor.

But I promised to make Kam Ling my lady. It still isn't done yet.

Aren't you disappointed in me?

It's because Ma Yuen Chi picks on Kam Ling.

He's playing tricks.

He's doing so against me. He wants me to know I'm completely under his control.

If he doesn't give me the approval, I will never get what I want.

But I want him to know even so it doesn't mean there's nothing I can do.

Kam Ling.

Sam Ho, it's great you've come. Take a look for me.

Which of the flowers here is the most fragrant?

Which is the most beautiful?

What are they for?

His Majesty wants me to drink with him tonight and look at the stars.

I want to use the flowers to make some aromatic powder.

I can also use it for bathing.

Later, the camellia will blossom.

Their fragrance is so fresh.

If I use them to make the aromatic powder, His Majesty will like it for sure.

Back then the empress transferred you to her chamber to help cure her headache.

Now she's fine. Chief Choi wants you to resume duty in the department.

This is her wishful thinking. His Majesty wants to make me his lady.

How will he let me leave?

I won't return to the Imperial Household Bureau.

No matter how much a bully Ma Yuen Chi is

he wouldn't dare refuse giving His Majesty what he wants.

Ma Yuen Chi is cold-blooded and cruel. I'm afraid he will hurt you.

General Ma wants Deputy Head Yiu to go see him.

The garden is so beautiful. It's a pleasure to be here.

No wonder the ancient people said you must pick the flowers while they blossom.

Don't wait till they've withered. We must have fun while we can.

- Your Majesty, Your Highness. - Your Majesty, Your Highness.

I'm enjoying the scene with my mom here.

I don't want to worry about national affairs.

I came to talk to Your Majesty one last time.

I hope you would work diligently.

Don't indulge in women and ignore national affairs.

General Ma, if you feel unhappy about something, you can talk to His Majesty.

I'm afraid His Majesty won't heed my advice.

He will carry on with his mistakes.

What is my mistake?

Getting a lady or listening to music?

Yiu Kam Ling is cheap. She's a maid. She isn't qualified to be your spouse.

I've already given up the idea of appointing a lady.

But you fool around with Yiu Kam Ling all the time.

The officials think this woman has a bad intention.

She wants to seduce Your Majesty. She's made you neglect the administration.

She's a threat to the country. Women mean trouble.

Your Majesty, Your Highness.

At ease. Sam Ho, why do you look so worried?

Your Majesty, just now Master Hung said General Ma wanted to see Kam Ling.

He took her away. I've waited for an hour. Yet Kam Ling didn't come back.

I'm worried.

General Ma, is this true?

I did send someone to take Yiu Kam Ling away.

What have you done to her?

I want her to know she's a maid.

It's against the rules in the palace for her to harass Your Majesty.

She should be executed.

You've killed her?

She's just a woman. It's no big deal that she's dead.

But as she's your love, how would I make you feel sad, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Kam Ling, are you alright? I was so worried.

I'm fine.

Why did they take you away?

It's because Lieutenant Chun Wai has no children.

Yiu Kam Ling is clever and cute. So he wants to take her as his goddaughter.

I've prepared the document for them to sign.

Actually, it's no big deal that Your Majesty wants more ladies.

Back then, I tried to intervene because of Kam Ling's background.

But now she's the daughter of a lieutenant.

If Your Majesty appoints her your lady, no one will gossip about it.

You've planned so much for me, General Ma.

No problem, Your Majesty.

As General Ma has done me such a favor, I'll select my ladies again.

How about my goddaughter?

I'll appoint her my lady too.

Are you happy with such an outcome, General Ma?

Thank you, Your Majesty.

In playing chess, one must be reserved and patient.

Now Your Majesty is under pressure, but you can still remain calm.

You aren't making any move. Your skill has improved a lot.

We've played so many rounds. I've learned how to read the other party's mind.

You have the confidence to turn the table and win?

What do you think?

I know you can plot very well. Your move is traceless.

Back then you knew Ma Yuen Chi would go to Tai Sheung Temple

to discuss the offering ceremony.

He would pass by the corridor of the annex hall.

So you put up a show for him

to make him believe that you were indulged in fooling around with women.

You've put him off-guard.

He wants my authority and the control of the administration.

I just play along so that he thinks his plan has worked out.

He's so greedy. He wants to get the say in everything.

He tries to make his goddaughter a lady.

At the same time, he prevents Kam Ling from becoming a lady.

He wants to isolate Your Majesty. So he keeps giving you pressure.

I play along. I pretend to quit.

He thinks I've neglected the national affairs for the sake of women.

Ma Yuen Chi is desperate to win.

He wants to reopen the selection for ladies.

So he must make concession.

To carry on with the show, I can't go soft. This is the most difficult move.

But whether I'll win turns on it.

You mean the drought in Guanzhong?

I've read the reports. The drought is serious.

If we use the reserve to help the victims, they can survive then.

But I can't make such an order.

Ma Yuen Chi wants to show off. He will deal with the drought for sure.

He will think he can do anything he likes. He will be caught off-guard.

There's an urgent task.

I want you to leave the palace and rally support for me.

To eliminate the bad guy, I'm willing to take the risk.

You're really my good friend. You're making a dangerous move.

Your Majesty's skills in chess have improved so much.

I wish you a safe journey. We'll meet again when you're back.

How long will it take before you're back?

I have to go to different provinces. I don't have a return date yet.

I'm afraid I can't return in time to appear in His Majesty's wedding ceremony.

Please send my congratulations to His Majesty for me.

You're going alone. You must be careful. You must take care.

I will probably pass by Yangzhou.

I'll bring some local products back for you.

No thanks for the local products.

But if possible, please buy me a handkerchief

with wild Chinese viburnum sewn on it.

The sewing skills of Yangzhou are so famous.

They are really good at sewing wild Chinese viburnum.

You are good at needlework too.

I want a handkerchief from my hometown.

I want to sew a silk handkerchief with flower patterns.

I'll copy the technique for assorted quilt. I'll sew a quilt with a hundred flowers.

There's a name for it. I want to call it Dream of Flowers.

The name suggests that it's beautiful. It will be so warm.

I want to use wild Chinese viburnum at the center of the quilt.

Mom told me before that wild Chinese viburnum are the flowers of our hometown.

Where there are the flowers there's our home.

I will make your dream come true, Sam Ho.

I wish you a safe trip. I hope you can be back sooner.

Congratulations, my lady.

Sam Ho, you want to tease me too?

I dare not. I came specifically to congratulate you, Lady Lai.

Come over here. I want to show you something.

What is it?

Look. His Majesty gave me this Dragon and Phoenix purse.

It's for ladies exclusively.

Of course. The dragon there is so vivid. It's His Majesty's exclusive symbol.

- Kam Ling. - Yes?

When His Majesty was still the prince

you said you wished His Majesty would make you his lady.

I can't believe your dream came true.

I lost my parents when I was a kid.

It's all thanks to Old Master and Madam, who took me in.

Then I came to the palace. I've suffered so much hardship and difficulties.

Thanks to Heavenly Father for his blessing. The difficult time is over.

I've got a bright future now.

Our wishes are granted.

I'm now Head of the Jewels Department and you're a lady.

If someone bullies you in future, you must let me know.

I will stand up for you.

What if you bully me? Will you stand up for me? Will you punish yourself?

Sam Ho, although I'm a lady now our relationship will never change.

We will forever be good sisters.

I've promised Madam that we must support each other in the palace.

Be careful. This is a gift from His Majesty to his ladies. Don't break it.

Big deal. I don't want to be such a lady.

Your dad is right about you. You are so untamed.

Am I wrong in saying so?

Yiu Kam Ling is a maid. She's illiterate.

But she gets the same treatment like mine. She's a lady too. Does she deserve it?

She's got a pair of chicken claws. She only knows manual works.

She knows nothing about books or paintings.

She lacks virtue and knowledge.

But she can still win the favor of His Majesty and the empress.

You can see how calculating she is. I do worry about you.

In future, you two will serve His Majesty together.

To win His Majesty's favor, she will take you as her enemy.

You must guard against her.

I'm not afraid of her.

Godfather said before that even His Majesty must give him face.

If she sets me up, Godfather won't spare her.

I feel relieved to have our cousin as our backup.

I don't believe I'll be defeated by the maid.

I'll win His Majesty's favor for sure. I'll show her how a lady should behave.

What time is it now?

Your Majesty, it's already midnight.

It's already so late?

Are you going to Fairy Chamber? I mean Lady Yin's chamber.

Where's Lady Lai?

She's in Joy Chamber. But Lady Yin is General Ma's...

Alright. I understand.

But I'm not tired yet. I'll go to Fairy Chamber later.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I want you to treat me as the Lee Yi before.

Give me your support and encouragement.

Back then, you sewed sweet lotus seeds on the handkerchief.

You told me to remember that there's sweetness in bitterness.

Even in face of adversities, I mustn't give up.

There will be sweetness when bitterness is over.

How come there are sweet lotus seeds in the tea?

It's Your Majesty's wedding day today.

Therefore, they put sweet lotus seeds in the tea and the soup.

It stands for getting a lot of sons. Is the tea cold? I'll get you another cup.

Don't bother. I just feel tired.

Are you going to Lady Yin's place now?

Ask the escort team to stand down.

I'll stay in Tai Wo Hall tonight to get some rest.

- But... - All of you are dismissed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My lady, it's time to go see the empress. Why don't I make the arrangement for you?

I'll decide when to go.

Shall I get you some water, my lady, so that you may wash your face?

You think this is funny? You think you've won His Majesty's favor?

Lady Yin.

Don't ever think you can be proud

because His Majesty went to Joy Chamber and slept with you last night.

You were alone in your chamber. No wonder you're so mad.

Don't ever think you can play dirty tricks to bewitch His Majesty.

I won't let you do so.

I complied with His Majesty's wish. He wanted to sleep with me.

I couldn't stop him from doing so.

Don't feel so proud yet.

Don't forget the fact that you could become a lady because my godfather helped you.

That's how you got a hometown. But you're still a maid.

How competent are you? You want to compete with me? Bring it on.

I will make your life difficult.

My lady, are you alright?

I'll slap you back sooner or later.

Please have a seat.

Thank you for your grace, Your Highness.

His Majesty came early this morning to see me.

Last night, he's troubled by national affairs.

He didn't go to bed until daybreak.

You two waited for him in your chambers in vain.

I hope you don't mind that.

His Majesty cares about the people. How will I mind that?

I know His Majesty cares about national affairs.

But he must still mind his health.

I know you two are nice and gentle.

In future, you will treat each other as sisters. You will get along in harmony.

I feel relieved that you two will take care of His Majesty.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I will get along with younger sis in harmony for sure.

We'll serve His Majesty together.

Actually I get my status all due to elder sis's blessing. I will model on her.

In terms of appearance, you must learn more from Lady Yin.

Her makeup today is so appropriate. But yours appear to be uneven.

In particular, your left cheek appears to be red and swollen.

Maybe I didn't sleep last night, so I look bad. My makeup is uneven.

Sis, if you get the time, you really must teach me more often.

No problem.

Lady Yin is knowledgeable.

If you get acquainted with her more often

you will learn a lot for sure in due course.

I will do my best to learn. I won't let you down, Your Highness.

Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness.

Actually younger sis is clever and modest.

I'm not her match.

Anyway, you two must help each other out. You need to complement each other.

You must serve His Majesty diligently, understood?

- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.

- Your Highness, Lady Yin, Lady Lai. - Your Highness, Lady Yin, Lady Lai.

- At ease. - Much obliged, Your Highness.

I've ordered the Jewels Department to make two pieces of jewels for celebration.

See which one you like.

Sis is knowledgeable about jewels.

I believe she can tell easily which one is of superior quality.

All the products of the Jewels Department are so fine.

Why don't you pick one first, sis?

If so, I'll go first. I'll get...

Sis, you like the bracelet too?

You've picked it first. I won't compete with you.

Your complexion is fair. The bracelet looks nice on you.

The craftsmanship for this hairpin is really good.

Sam Ho, your skills have become better and better.

Your trick of distraction is even better.

I knew you like the hairpin more than the bracelet.

Yes. I knew she would take what I liked. So I played along.

I gave her a chance to get it.

Maybe Lady Yin doesn't really want to steal what you like.

Maybe she's spoiled. Therefore, she's untamed.

She loves face too. She wants to be number one.

Both of us are ladies.

Besides, I'm older than she is. She should call me elder sis.

But she called me younger sis in the presence of the empress.

She thinks she can insult me by calling me so. She's really so naive.

As you said, it's just a title. Why bother?

You are so clever. You can distract her easily.

She may be untamed, but I know you can handle it.

I can handle it if she talks sense, but she behaves like a kid.

When she feels unhappy, she won't pay attention to etiquette.

- She just hit me. - She hit you?

Last night His Majesty stayed in Tai Wo Hall.

He didn't go to our chambers.

But Lady Yin thought he went to Joy Chamber.

She smacked me when she saw me this morning.

Didn't you explain it to her?

What's the use? She's hit me already.

Besides, this morning the empress told us to get along in harmony.

How can I complain to His Majesty right after that?

Moreover, Ma Yuen Chi is a bully. Even His Majesty must give him face.

Even if Lady Yin is really at fault, His Majesty will forgive her.

I have to put up with it anyway.

I thought I wouldn't suffer anymore as a lady.

But actually the competition in the palace

is more difficult to handle than that in the Imperial Household Bureau.

It really isn't easy to be a lady.

It's reciprocal. If you are nice to others, they will be nice to you in return.

Besides, you will feel happy if you are nice to others.

I get it. Anyway, I must make concession make allowance and make way, right?

You are Lau Sam Ho. I'll be Yiu Sam Fun, right?

- Sam Ho. - Your Majesty.

At ease. I know Uncle Lau has come to the palace today.

You came so early to see him?

Yes. But he's left already. You want to see him too?

I want to ask him for advice on how to grow flowers and trees.

So you love flowers too.

What is your favorite flower, Your Majesty?

There are so many flowers. They have their respective beauty.

I remember dad told me before that all the flowers are the same.

You just grow them well. They will look beautiful then.

Plum blossoms are noble.

Orchids are fresh. Peonies are elegant.

Chrysanthemums are tough.

If a gardener treats them with equal amounts of care

they will show their respective beauty.

I really hope Your Majesty will act as a good gardener.

You want me to cherish the flowers in the palace?

There are hundreds of flowers in the palace.

Each of them has its own beauty.

I implore Your Majesty to treat them fairly.

Don't prejudice any of them.

Are you referring to Lady Lai?

Kam Ling doesn't have a noble background like Lady Yin.

Her knowledge is, of course, insufficient.

The servants and maids tend to make comparisons.

I hope Your Majesty will be nicer to Kam Ling

so that people won't look down upon her.

I promise I'll be nice to Lady Lai.

Even if I have to fail everyone, I will never fail you.

Lady Lai is lucky. You are so nice to her.

Lady Lai have you as her best friend. You always care about her.

I do envy her. Don't worry. I will be the best gardener for your sake.

This rabbit cake is sweet and fresh. I like it very much.

Your Majesty invited me to look at the moon together tonight

so I told the Food Department to prepare this.

Even if it's cloudy tonight, we can still look at this rabbit.

You are really so thoughtful, Lady Lai.

I wish there was a flute so we could play a tune.

It would be perfect then.

A flute? I've got one. I know you like music.

I've asked the Furnishings Department to make a new flute to give to Your Majesty.

Why don't we return to Joy Chamber now so I can play a tune for you?

Then, we'll enjoy the night together.

Alright. I'll play a tune for you then. Let's spend the night together.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

I'll go to Joy Chamber.

His Majesty will go to Joy Chamber.

- Your Majesty. - At ease.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

Lady Yin, why do you come here so late at night?

I know you and sis are looking at the moon tonight.

I shouldn't disturb you.

But this morning the Internal Services gave me a pot of epiphyllum.

It's blossoming right now. Its aroma is so fragrant.

I want to share it with you, Your Majesty.

Epiphyllum blossoms for a very short moment only. It's a rare occasion.

How can I miss it? This is so nice. Why don't you join us too, Lady Lai?

I'm going too?

Lady Yin, you don't mind this suggestion of mine, do you?

No, I don't. The more the merrier. Of course it's good.

It's really my blessing to get both of you as my ladies.

Let's go to Fairy Chamber then.

Yes, Your Majesty.
