[The Blooms at RUYI Pavilion]

[Episode 28]

Don't.

It took you so long to get the base into shape.

You'll have to redo it now.

This is all my fault, just punish me.

That's enough.

This is not the time to hold anyone responsible.

What should we do now?

If only Ms Liu was here.

Master.

Do you remember master had given me a coronet before?

She must have kept the base of it.

We can put the jewellery we made earlier on the base.

Use shell pearl pieces as flower petals.

Make it into something like a lotus crown.

I used to think Ruyi Pavilion was keeping its light under a bushel.

Turned out it simply relied on these fancy knick-knacks

to grab people's attention.

However,

look at its work.

It's quite similar to our Feng Lai Yi's crafts.

Speaking of which,

I've gone through a lot of trouble to learn this skill.

I wonder where did you learn it from, Mr Ji?

I had...

I got some help of course.

It seems that

Ruyi Pavilion's metal craftsmanship is more refined.

Its mother-of-pearl inlay is more delicate as well.

Although there are many pearls, gold and silver on the crown,

it's luxurious but not garish.

At first glance,

the crown resembles a flower.

Your Majesty, that is right.

Your Majesty has written a poem before to praise the virtue of lotus flower.

Therefore, I use spiral shells as base,

gold threads for its side,

silver threads to hold it,

pearls as embellishment.

Layers over layers.

Every layer of the petals

represent the officials and the civilians of Dayu.

The biggest pearl in the middle

represent Dayu.

Under the efforts of Your Majesty and all people,

may Dayu long live and

its reign long lasting.

That's very thoughtful of you.

And you spoke wisely.

Ornaments Attendant Chen,

bring it closer, I want to take a good look.

Yes.

How dare you, Fu Rong.

You've got nerve to fool His Majesty

with a cheap pearl.

You sounded so vehement just now.

Or were you being sarcastic?

[Your Highness.]

[Consort Duan asked to see you]

[in the Tong Xi Palace.]

[Your Highness, I need to deliver these jewellery to the Wardrobe Service.]

[Never mind, I'll deliver it for you.]

-[But...] -[Consort Duan's request]

[is more important.]

[Go now.]

[I didn't expect Fu Rong would change the design last minute.]

Fortunately, I have a backup plan.

Your Majesty, Your Highness,

I have picked the finest pearl of the East Sea.

With my utmost honesty,

it's impossible that there is any cheap material.

Then how did this pearl turn black?

It was still glowing when I entered the palace.

Your Majesty, may I take a look at it?

Give it to her.

Yes.

Your Majesty, Your Highnesses,

I'm sorry for being late.

What's going on?

Did Concubine Rong make trouble again?

You're just in time, Your Highness.

May I borrow the hairpin that you're wearing right now?

You can't possibly want to take back a gift that you gave me.

Rest assured, Your Highness. I just want to borrow it.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Majesty, could I ask a court lady to get me some hot water?

Granted.

Why?

Your Majesty,

if a pearl isn't properly kept,

it would easily lose its natural colour.

When I was inspecting the pearl,

I noticed a pungent scent.

Probably because it was accidentally exposed to silver nitrate .

That's why it turned black in such short time.

All jewellery in Ruyi Pavilion

are coated with protective layer to prevent them from turning dark.

Whereas for this crown,

it wasn't coated yet as we ran out of time.

So you mean the protective layer on my hairpin

was washed out by you just now?

In that case,

wouldn't my hairpin turn yellow faster?

I'll make it up to you with more hairpins.

Fascinating.

I'm committed to making jewellery to the liking of Your Majesty and Your Highness.

Hence I'll never use any shoddy material to fool anyone.

Though I'm guilty for my negligence,

please forgive me, Your Majesty.

All right.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

This lotus crown is truly spectacular.

Ruyi Pavilion shows great originality in its design.

It is fitting that they build the silver building.

Fu Rong,

you have a special identity.

Once you take this job,

you must be committed to it from now on.

Do not make any more mistake.

Yes.

I wonder if Ji Qing Ting did it on purpose,

or was it just an accident?

Such coincidental accident doesn't exist.

I made Feng Lai Yi to present their work

before Ruyi Pavilion on purpose

so that Fu Rong will be accused of plagiarism.

By right,

Zhu'er,

your plan was perfect.

The only thing that went wrong

must be the part that involved Ji Qing Ting.

I have to

look into Ji Qing Ting.

But I couldn't figure out

why Fu Rong would change

the design of the crown out of sudden.

Fu Rong

is an eyesore and the thorn in my flesh.

Don't worry, my lady.

I have another plan.

Perhaps I'll be able to

remove this thorn of yours.

I'm listening.

[Ju Shui Pavilion ]

You're in a good mood today, Young Master.

Of course.

I'm pleased because Nong Nong is out of trouble.

However,

Consort Duan definitely won't

let her off easily after this.

Send some men to keep watch over Ruyi Pavilion.

Inform me immediately

if anything goes wrong.

Yes.

Mother asked me to tell you

Zhi Hui has found that

the maid who delivered the jewellery that day

was stopped by Princess Consort of Qingping.

Consort Duan won't give up easily.

-His Majesty has given his decree. -Maybe...

There is no room for change in this.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I will just focus on my duty.

Even if someone is trying to sabotage me in secret, I'm not afraid of it.

The weather is getting colder lately.

You see, more people are flying kites.

Look how much fun they are having.

Have you flown a kite before?

Do you want to try then?

It's child's game,

there's nothing fun in it.

That's not true.

Do you know how fun it is when you fly the kite

you made yourself?

Handmade?

Yes. I can make pretty kites.

That's great, let's fly the kite

that you make next time.

And I will

bring you to the border

and teach you how to shoot down eagles.

How to do that?

It's simple.

Just like this,

draw the bow

to its full extent.

Like this?

Is my posture correct?

No.

Duke Su,

Duchess Su.

Your Highness, we got a lead on

the two men you are looking for.

All right, I understand. Go on.

My lady,

have you seen Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba recently?

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Your Highness,

[Royal Decree]

I'm under order to send you the materials and jewellery list.

After you stamp on this handover document,

I'll be able to report back in the palace.

Please hold on.

I need some time count these stuff.

Just in case any problem arises. Our masters could blame it on us.

You're right, Your Highness.

I have been careless.

Lan Xiang, serve Attendant Chen tea.

Yes.

The numbers matched the document.

Thank you for waiting, Attendant Chen.

[Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

There should be no problem now.

Two copies of handover document,

you and I keep one each.

Your Highness,

you're on a tight schedule.

Masters in the palace

are expecting the latest season of jewellery.

You'll have to speed up the work

and complete it within a month.

Of course.

Since His Majesty believes in Ruyi Pavilion,

we'll do our best to repay that trust.

You're smart, Your Highness.

However,

these materials are treasures from the palace,

I hope Your Highness can preserve it and use it well,

it mustn't be spoilt.

Understood.

I should go back now.

Thank you for dropping by.

Hit him harder.

Let's go now.

Have you got it done?

Don't worry, he won't be able to work within a month.

[Feng Lai Yi]

Boss, Boss.

Boss.

You gave me a fright.

Good news.

Fu Rong has put up the recruitment notice as you expected.

Good.

I've gathered all the thugs in the city.

[Artisan Recruitment]

Isn't Her Highness short of staff?

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Let's send her some

and waste her time.

Lady.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

This is the counting room, let her in.

Get out of the way.

-What are you doing? -That's right.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

-Come out now, Boss. -Come out, come out.

Come out, call your boss out.

Rong'er,

so many people are applying for the job, it's rowdy out there.

Customers can't even get in.

Come out.

I'm pondering about it too.

But they're not right for the job.

They're just here to cause trouble.

They couldn't answer anything madam asked.

No one saw this coming.

The artisans in the pavilion

all took a leave out of the blue,

claiming that they were attacked in an alley.

According to Wardrobe Service's schedule,

if we don't find craftsmen soon,

we won't be able to complete on time.

This isn't working.

[Master Han, artisan of Ruyi Pavilion]

Your Highness,

you've paid my medical bills.

And you even came to see me,

I'm really...

We heard that you're badly injured,

madam is really worried.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I've taken medicine.

I'm getting better.

That's good.

Feel free to let me know if there is anything else you need.

Don't...

Thank you, Your Highness.

Master Han,

when you were being attacked,

did you see those men's faces?

Why did they attack you?

Out of the blue,

I was beaten up with my head covered.

I couldn't see anything.

Please rest well at home.

I'll still pay you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Let's go.

Master Han,

this hairpin looks interesting.

But this doesn't look like your usual style.

My son made it.

He has been learning craftsmanship from me since childhood.

But he's still an amateur,

he's not ready yet.

Although it looks a bit rusty,

the ornamentation is creative and the workmanship is delicate.

Master Han,

will you let your son come and work for Ruyi Pavilion?

But...but my son is still very young.

Getting him to start directly in such short time,

will it work?

Judging by its craftsmanship,

with a little bit of training, it won't take him long to get the hang of it.

Thank you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Yuan,

Ruyi Pavilion still have many artisans who were beaten up.

Check with them if they have apprentices too.

Yes, madam.

Master Han Junior,

your work is ingenious,

but your craftsmanship a bit rusty.

Master Li Junior,

your craftsmanship is quite refined,

but your work is conservative.

Please consult with Yuan more, so that you can improve your work.

[Master Han Junior, apprentice of Ruyi Pavilion]

Your Highness has given us a job,

we won't let you down.

Good.

You'll work here from now on.

Your monthly wage is five taels, lunch is provided.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Keep it up.

-Keep it up. -Keep it up.

Yuan,

I'll have to count on you to take care of them from now on.

It'd be my pleasure.

It's been so long. What's the situation?

We haven't heard a word yet after waiting for so long.

We've been waiting for so long, seriously.

-What is the situation now? -Please settle down.

-What's the situation now? -What's going on?

Thank you for all your support over the past few days.

However, the vacancies in Ruyi Pavilion have been filled.

-Filled? -Please go home, everyone.

We've waited for a few days,

and we didn't see you picking any one of us.

And you're just going to send us away like this?

That means Ruyi Pavilion was just deceiving us, right?

That's right.

-You cheated us. Give us an explanation. -If Her Highness

doesn't give us an explanation today,

we are not leaving here.

That's right, we're not leaving.

-Yes, sit down. -Sit down, everyone.

What?

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba are being hunted.

Yes.

If it hadn't been for the assassins,

I'm afraid our scout wouldn't have

picked up their trail.

Continue to look into this.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

Her Highness is in trouble.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Stand up right now.

Did you break your legs?

Why are you sitting on the floor?

Your Highness.

What's going on here?

Her Highness has recruited artisans.

They were asked to leave,

but they refused to do so.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Nothing to be afraid of.

So what if he's a duke.

Does that mean he can just bully us?

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Yes, that's right.

-We're not afraid of the duke. -Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Don't worry,

I'm here for you.

Whoever can guess

what this white piece is made of

will be recruited.

Sure.

I say

this piece is made of white jade.

-Agree. -That's right. It's made of white jade.

Wrong.

That's impossible.

This piece is clearly white.

-And it's smooth when you touch it. -Yes, we can see that at a glance.

It's white marble, it's normal that an amateur doesn't know.

So what?

Even if I'm an amateur,

you should still choose from among us.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

What if there are skilful ones among them?

-Yes. -He's right.

All of you claimed that you're here to apply for the job.

Yet instead of demonstrating your skills,

you are making a scene here.

I say all of you just want to get yourself into the Bureau Jail.

-Xu Jia. -Run, run now.

-Way to go. -Good, good.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Forgive me, Your Highness.

It has nothing to do with me.

Someone put me up to this.

Who?

Mr Ji from Feng Lai Yi.

[Feng Lai Yi]

Are you speaking the truth?

I am.

Jin'er has found a witness.

Your Majesty, Consort Duan would like to see you.

At this point,

she's fast indeed.

Send her in.

I would like to hear

what she has to say.

Summon forth Consort Duan.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

Feng Lai Yi is the only thing

that my sister left for me before she died.

That's why I couldn't bear to give Feng Lai Yi away.

But as I've been living in the palace,

I could only entrust the management of Feng Lai Yi

to shopkeeper Ji Qing Ting.

I just heard that

Ji Qing Ting has been holding grudges

ever since he failed the selection of

builder for imperial silver building.

He actually went behind my back

to sabotage Ruyi Pavilion.

I'm guilty in this.

What you're saying is

you know nothing about it.

Your Majesty,

I really didn't know.

But I have failed to control my subordinate,

please punish me for it.

As for Ji Qing Ting,

his duplicity is unforgivable.

Please handle the matter according to law, Your Majesty.

Put him into the jail.

If I hadn't figured out something was wrong,

and asked Mao'er to send someone to check on it,

I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find out that

Ji Qing Ting was

really bought off by Wu Bai Qi.

[And this token of appreciation,]

[just accept it.]

I could have protected

Ji Qing Ting

by getting someone else to take the blame.

But he's too greedy.

How could he betray me

for such petty gains?

For one that knows too much,

dying in jail

is the best ending for him.

Indeed, Your Highness.

By the way, Zhu'er,

how is our initial plan working out?

Rest assured, Your Highness.

It's all set up.

Your Highness,

I heard that Ji Qing Ting has been imprisoned.

Feng Lai Yi has been seized as well.

Yes, it was Consort Duan who requested for severe punishment.

Consort Duan? Why would she do that?

Doesn't matter, I'm finally saved from

all the problems caused by that fatty.

What is this?

Didn't you say you want to fly kite last time?

You're making a kite?

Let's make it together.

Duke Su.

My lady.

Have you gotten any news?

You are going away again?

Rong'er,

I have to leave home for a few days.

When I'm not here,

-remember to... -Eat well.

Don't worry, I'll eat well.

I'm going now.

Goodbye.

[Fu Residence]

You're here at this late hour.

Tell me, what happened?

Ji Qing Ting deliberately hindered Ruyi Pavilion's duty

in making jewellery for the royals.

He is now in jail.

However,

Feng Lai Yi has been seized as well.

Really?

Didn't Consort Duan make a scene?

Not only did she not, she actually asked the matter to be dealt strictly.

Looks like Consort Duan really believed that

Ji Qing Ting has come to our side.

This move of Consort Duan has killed two birds with one stone.

Not only did she get rid of Ji Qing Ting,

but she also won His Majesty's approval.

However,

Feng Lai Yi has been shut down.

What about you?

Never mind.

I'll ask to see Consort Duan after a while

to see if I can offer to

to buy Feng Lai Yi from her.

I'll still have to count on you on the ledgers by then.

I don't think

Consort Duan will let this matter go that easily.

The craftsmanship of these jewellery is truly intricate.

Excellent.

Thank you, Your Highness.

This is all good.

Later today,

I'll ask Ornaments Attendant Chen

to distribute them to the chambers.

Yes.

Rong'er, go home now and rest.

Look how skinny you've become.

You've worked hard these days.

It is an honour to serve His Majesty and Your Highness.

An honour indeed.

These hard work are nothing to you.

Since you could gain something from it.

Am I right, Concubine Rong?

Also,

Consort Shu has been doing everything herself

for such trivial matter.

There is something shady behind this, isn't it?

What do you mean by this, Consort Duan?

Ornaments Attendant Chen.

Concubine Rong,

my words carry little weight.

But you misappropriated the jewellery materials from Wardrobe Service.

If I didn't report it,

I wouldn't be able to live with my conscience.

Ornaments Attendant Chen,

what nonsense are you talking about?

Consort Shu,

I know you adore Concubine Rong,

but she has committed

a crime of deceiving His Majesty.

Ornaments Attendant Chen,

you're slandering me for deceiving His Majesty.

Have you ever thought about the consequences?

I wouldn't dare to slander Your Highness.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,

it was really appalling.

Fine.

You said I misappropriated the materials.

Where is your proof?

The proof

is this handover document.

[Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

[Gold 57.85g, Silver 31.49g Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

[Gold 134.97g, Silver 73.48g Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

Judging by your expression,

could you be thinking of destroying the evidence?

Rong'er,

it was indeed Ruyi Pavilion's stamp on the document.

Although the stamp is real,

these numbers are completely different from those I read during the handover.

His Majesty has arrived.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Consort Duan,

what's going on?

Your Majesty,

Ornaments Attendant Chen found that

Ruyi Pavilion has misappropriated the materials from Wardrobe Service.

I'm questioning Concubine Rong.

Is it true?

Please take a look, Your Majesty.

I've checked just now.

There is indeed a huge difference between the amount of the jewellery

and the numbers on the handover document.

[Royal Decree, The following materials are allocated]

[for Ruyi Pavilion to produce jewellery for the palace]

Your Majesty,

Ruyi Pavilion and Ornaments Attendant Chen

each holds a copy of this document.

Ruyi Pavilion's copy can prove my innocence.

Wang Xin.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Send someone to Ruyi Pavilion now

to retrieve the handover document.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Is the person in charge here?

Your Excellency,

how may

I help you?

I'm here under His Majesty's order to retrieve something.

His Majesty,

this is the handover document retrieved from Ruyi Pavilion.

[Gold 134.97g, 73.48g Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

Take a look yourself.

[Gold 134.97g, 73.48g Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

[Two copies of handover document,]

[you and I keep one each.]

[Gold 57.85g, Silver 31.49g Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

[Gold 134.97g, 73.48g Ruyi Pavilion Stamp]

This isn't right.

Fu Rong,

now that we have the witness and evidence.

What more have you got to say?

I wouldn't dare to tamper with the materials from the palace.

Someone must have forged the documents

to frame me.

You said something was wrong with Ornaments Attendant Chen's document.

As you requested,

I sent my man to retrieve the document from Ruyi Pavilion.

The content on both papers are the same.

Yet you're still denying it.

[Concubine Rong has committed misconduct.]

[Lock her up in the Criminal Investigation Bureau Jail]

[and await judgement.]

[Seize Ruyi Pavilion now.]

[Confiscate all misappropriated materials that came from the palace.]

Don't move, don't move.

-Don't move. -Who are these people?

-What are you doing? -That's right.

Why are you taking our stuff?

Why are you doing this?

Under His Majesty's command,

Ruyi Pavilion is to be seized immediately.

All unrelated personnels, please leave.

Young Master,

Ms Fu has been put into jail.

Consort Duan is vicious.

Nong Nong is suffering in that place.

Then should we...

We'll wait and see.

Since someone is getting rid of Duke Su for me,

there is no reason for me to get involved in it.

I'm going to take advantage of Consort Duan's doings,

I'm going to save Nong Nong as well.

Duke Su will certainly intercede with Emperor Jia He for Nong Nong.

With their tempers, it'll turn into an argument for sure.

I'll step in then.

Not only can I tear them apart,

but I'll be able to save Nong Nong as well.

Very wise, Young Master.

Consort Duan has always been a fool.

Someone must be giving her advice behind this.

Find that person.

I want them to work for me in future.

Yes.

Thank you for your help this time.

Not only did you get rid of that obnoxious Ruyi Pavilion,

but Mao'er and I made quite a fortune as well.

It's because you're foresighted, Your Highness.

Speaking of which, Zhu'er,

the batch of materials from the palace has been delivered to Weiyang City.

Ornaments Attendant Chen,

thank you for your help.

Don't worry, once everything ends,

I'll reward you

everything you deserve.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Duke Cheng have kept those material well hidden.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Things are going to get heated in Duke Su's Residence now.

Let's just wait and see.

I'm going to avenge Ms Liu.

The Ms Liu you're talking about,

is it Liu Ru Yi?

I didn't kill Liu Ru Yi.

Who else could it be if it wasn't you?

Ms Gu said that

you were the last person to meet Ms Liu.

And you had an argument with her.

Rong'er found Ms Liu's suicide note

in the secret room of Ruyi Pavilion.

You're saying that she committed suicide?

Impossible.

Mistress had poured her heart and soul into Ruyi Pavilion.

There's no way she would kill herself irresponsibly.

I don't believe Ms Liu would commit suicide too.

You're calling her mistress

and you want to avenge her.

What's your relationship with Liu Ru Yi?

We owed her a debt of gratitude.

It's only right that we avenge her.

If you were just ordinary men,

why would someone want to hunt you down?

If you don't tell me,

I won't be able to help

nor find out Liu Ru Yi's real cause of death.

This has nothing to do with Ms Liu.

I'll believe you for now.

About the death of Ms Liu,

we'll find out ourselves.

-Good bye. -Good bye.

Send someone to watch them.

Yes.

Your Highness, you're finally home.

Ruyi Pavilion has been seized.

Her Highness has been brought to Criminal Investigation Bureau Jail.

What did you say?

[Concubine Rong has been put into jail.]

[If there is any injustice in it,]

[talk to His Majesty yourself.]
