Court Lady

Ep37

She's just a court lady.

How dare she contradict me like this!

Guards.

Take her away.

Calm down, Your Majesty.

Of course, your staff are always so special.

What's the matter?

Do you also want to blame me for

not teaching my son properly?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Mother didn't mean to blame you.

Consort Xi has always been serving you

with great care and respect

Mother just didn't want to see her being treated this way.

Your Royal Highness,

Directress Fu is always a frank person.

You're the Emperor.

You don't have to be so angry with her.

How dare you!

Your Majesty,

you've given her the permission

to talk to you that way.

Say that again?

On that day during the family banquet,

you rewarded her with the power to speak

after she had saved the Crown Princess

during the birth of her son.

You said that

Directress Fu would be allowed

to say whatever she liked.

The Emperor

shall keep his promise.

Your Royal Highness,

please forgive Directress Fu.

In the third year of the Shengu reign,

He Taixing made a remonstrance

to the Emperor.

The Emperor was very glad instead of getting angry.

He also praised him

for offering his sincere thoughts.

The Emperor is considered to be

a wise man who is willing to take suggestions

and who is the most broad-minded.

You've got something, haven't you?

You even dare to compare yourself to He Taixing.

You really know how to flatter yourself.

I am only a woman

on a minor position.

But everyone should love their country,

no matter their gender

or their social ranks.

Everyone should be loyal

to this nation as long as they are part of it.

They should remonstrate.

You haven't admitted your fault yet.

King Zhao was unfilial.

He betrayed both of his parents,

which broke your heart.

Consort Xi felt quite the same.

Your Majesty,

you've already lost a son.

Could you really

get some relief

by punishing

your consorts severely?

I'm just worried that

you will regret it

if you punish Consort Xi

just because you're angry now.

Directress Fu,

will you just stop?

If you think

what I just said

was total nonsense

and completely useless,

please sentence me to death,

Your Majesty.

Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You all get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Cao Yangde.

Yes.

Drive me to the Hall of Nectar.

Yes.

King Zhou.

Yes, Father.

You do have an eye for talent.

The Empress.

Yes.

Downgrade Consort Xi

to Concubine Xi.

A wise decision.

A wise decision.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

A letter went missing

from my room on the first of July.

You are the only ones who have the access to the study.

You'd better be clever to admit it if you stole it.

Or, I don't think you can survive the torture

of interrogation in the army.

Well. You all stay silent, don't you?

Then don't blame me for being merciless.

Send my order.

Yes.

I...

It was me. It was me.

I knocked over the brush-washer by accident

that day when I was cleaning the study.

Jasmine.

Jasmine.

Where is the letter?

I thought I could...

put it back when it dried,

But...

You lost it?

You damn bitch!

Guards.

Take her away.

I know it's my fault.

-Hold on. -I'm sorry.

Yin, please save me!

It's not your business.

-Yin. -It's not her fault.

You can't kill her.

Take her away.

Yin, save me...

Yin!

-How... -Yin! -Yin!

Yin.

Yin, are you alright?

I was just...

Call the doctor now!

You'll be alright.

I got you.

Lie down.

Lie down.

You'll be fine.

What?

Let Jasmine go.

Why are you still thinking about a servant at this point?

Promise me.

Forgive her.

Alright. Alright. I'll agree to forgive her.

Swear to me.

Swear by your love for me.

If you lie to me,

we will never

be blessed and

can never meet again.

Don't waste more time, Master. She's bleeding a lot.

Okay.

Alright. I'll do as you say.

I promise you.

I swear I'll let her go.

You'll be alright. Now lie down.

Hurry up!

You blamed His Majesty

straight in his face for his son's fault?

Were you out of your mind?

I was only stating the facts.

You were asking for death

'cause you're in despair because of Sheng Chumu.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have mentioned him.

Thank you for arguing for me

in the Hall of Joy just now.

Is this how you say thanks?

Please let go of me, Your Royal Highness.

If you'll excuse me.

I did that on purpose.

I knew I shouldn't mention Sheng Chumu

but I did it on purpose.

'Cause I'd like to see your reaction.

If you were annoyed,

at least I would know you hate him.

At least I could comfort you.

But you just stayed quiet.

The more reluctant you were to talk,

the more unlikely you are to forget him.

I cannot forget him indeed.

I was born this way.

What can I do about it?

Times have really changed.

Those matchmakers

were all trying to see me

once they heard I'd like to get you a wife.

Look.

So many girls from those noble families.

Chumu,

hurry up and pick one.

You pick for me, Mom.

I'm fine.

I'm spoilt for choice now.

Boys, you two

now help me with this.

Come on.

Zhao Shuwen, the first daughter of the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.

Zheng Feiyu, the first daughter of the Grand Master of the Court of Imperial Entertainments.

What do you think?

No. I'd say.

Neither of them is better-looking than the last one.

The last one?

You mean this one?

The one Brother fell in love with.

It hurts so much.

Don't you dare bring this up!

Give it to me.

The second daughter of Sun Tan

looks good.

She has a nice feature.

She must be gentle and ladylike.

This one is pretty good.

No, she isn't.

Why?

Anyone else is good for Brother

but not her.

What's wrong with Chujun?

Where's your elder brother?

He's already left.

Left?

We are a couple

from now on.

She will blame me for sure.

Chumu...

You...

I...

I thought I could take it.

But

when he didn't look at me anymore

and didn't seem to care about me anymore,

I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer.

He dumped me.

It must be something I did wrong

that made me lose him.

Silly girl.

You're the best.

It's his fault

if he didn't want you.

Yan Zifang,

I'm too good for you.

Brother.

Brother.

What?

If a man needs a wife,

does he need to go to a matchmaker first?

Well, of course.

Men didn't have to do in the past.

They could just take any woman.

But not anymore.

I can only sit there and watch them, feeling tempted.

You mean Lianyan?

You wanna marry her?

Is she willing to marry you?

I don't know.

You can ask her for me.

I'm not willing to.

You dislike Ma Haihu this much?

A pirate commandant who no longer robs

with a girl who used to work in a brothel.

It will be a damn joke.

You don't have a thing for him, then?

I like him.

I just don't want to see myself turning into a joke.

I need to marry a powerful marquis

if I have to marry someone.

Come on.

Take a look.

You're back.

And now we have our baby.

We must have been blessed by God.

Yes.

It must be God's blessing.

He blesses our family.

Where's Jasmine?

Could she...

Yin, here's the soup.

We're gonna go home.

Okay. Go on sleeping, babe.

Yin.

Come on. Let me do this.

Come on.

Drink this.

Lianyan?

Lianyan?

She's gone.

Why?

She doesn't have to leave

even if she doesn't want me.

Lianyan, those makeups...

Why are you both here?

She's gone.

She hasn't.

She will be back.

-Brother. -Haihu.

She's really left?

Hasn't she?

What about the shop?

She had written a contract

before she left.

She's left everything in the shop

to you.

She was so generous.

How could I take all this?

Am I too greedy?

I'll return them to her when she comes back.

It's me.

Why did you...

How did you find me here?

This is my bedroom.

I'm still unmarried.

I can't come here anymore

when you are married.

I'm an upright man.

I won't meet up with a married woman.

What did you come here for?

I...

I...

Lingwei,

will you marry me?

I can't make that decision myself.

A marriage shall be arranged by parents and matchmakers.

Do you like me?

I...

Perhaps

I do.

You like me and I also like you.

We're a couple, then.

That's so embarrassing.

No. No.

You...

You are so cute.

It's hard not to be attracted by you even I'm a gentleman.

My mom said anyone who says that is up to no good.

Please don't be a man like that, okay?

Okay.

I won't then.

I'll wait.

I know

you're a perfect gentleman indeed.

Yeah.

A gentleman.

You still can't see Fu Rou

no matter how long you stare in the direction of Canton.

Did you see Fu Tao?

Yes.

Lu Qi asked him to secretly look for

the Crown Prince's letter to King Zhao.

He found it.

But he didn't hand it in.

He asked me to give it to you.

Do you know the whereabouts of Fu Yin?

According to Fu Tao,

she's currently in a very safe place.

But she's got a lot of things on her mind.

She doesn't want to see anyone.

She will come back

once she gets over it.

So you didn't ask

where Fu Yin is now, then?

I was going to.

But I just gave up on second thought.

She is just a simple person.

What could possibly bother her that much?

Anyways, I've finally understood.

She's just avoiding me.

I asked to marry her but she wasn't willing to.

But she didn't want to hurt my feelings.

That's why she decided to run away.

I won't go looking for her anymore.

I love her but she doesn't love me back.

Why should I force her to?

I love her

but she doesn't love me back.

Why should I force her to?

I can't stay in the General of Admiralty's mansion anymore.

Why?

Ma Haihu wants to marry me.

You don't want him to?

You tell me.

You've always known me the best.

Any other places to go?

What are you waiting for?

I'm wondering

what a couple can do to kill time

once they get to spend their days

together?

I know the answer.

Like what we're doing.

Watching the moon together.

Who told you that?

My mother.

I knew so.

Do you think

your father will agree to our marriage

if I go ask for his permission?

Of course.

My father likes upright gentlemen like you.

As long as you have a good reputation...

Hold on.

Well...

'Cause I am so upright

that I've offended many snobs.

They keep giving me a bad name

by lying that

I am a playboy who spends a lot of time in brothels.

That's the kind of guy

my father hates the most.

What if your father believes the rumors

and doesn't allow you to marry me?

What do you do?

Then...

I'll listen to my father.

Jasmine.

Jasmine.

How can I help you, ma'am?

The baby peed.

Go change his diaper.

Come on.

Careful.

Be careful.

Why are you here?

Where is Jasmine?

I don't know.

Young Master asked me to serve you.

Ma'am, where are you going?

You can't get out of bed in this condition.

Jasmine.

Have you made a gift list for

the Inspector of Xiang city?

Let me go in.

-You can't. -Let me go in!

You can leave now.

Yes.

Yin.

Why are you here?

Where is Jasmine?

You've just given birth.

You got off your bed

just to ask about a maid?

I'm asking you. Where's Jasmine?

She's gone.

Gone?

Do you think I will still keep her

after she lost such an important letter?

I gave her some money

and asked her uncle to take her away.

You liar!

Did you kill her

just like you had killed Linglong?

Yin, please listen to me.

I won't.

I was so silly.

I thought one could really change.

I thought any grudges could be resolved.

I thought everything was going to be better.

But I was wrong.

You're just a ruthless killer.

How dare you!

Just because you've borne a child for me

doesn't mean you can talk to me like this!

I shouldn't have given birth to him.

I shouldn't have kept the baby in the first place.

Say that again?

You killed Jasmine.

Karma will get our kid

even if it doesn't get you.

You're young and talented, sir.

You've made your name

by winning the war against the rebels.

We really admire you.

We can imagine how Duke of Lu fought the war

just by looking at

how brave you were on the battlefield.

Like father like son.

Let's treat General to some wines one day.

Good idea.

We'll buy you drinks, sir.

We don't know if you'd like to come, Sir.

Sir. Sir.

Jisun Chenxin. Go get him!

Are you sure that was him, Sir?

That's right, sir.

Jisun Chensi is a rebel.

Even if he was still alive,

he would surely hide somewhere.

How dare he come to Chang'an?

I can't be mistaken.

I could definitely recognize him from behind.

Split! Go on and chase him!

Say that again?

I want to learn from Brother.

I want to fight for my country and family glory.

I want to fight bravely and shed my blood.

I want to be an upright and capable son

of a noble family with a good background and reputation.

It hurts so much.

Your brother almost died

during his military service.

He has just promised me to stay in Chang'an.

Now you said you want to shed your blood?

Your blood? Your blood?

Don't let me hear you again! -Brother!

Mom. Mom.

-Your blood? -Please calm down.

Don't you dare!

Calm down, Mom.

Calm down.

What made you want to be a good boy?

To wash away my shame

and stop being a playboy.

You...

Say that again?

To wash away my shame

and stop being...

Be honest!

To marry someone.

Marry someone?

Chunjun, you've also found your love?

She isn't someone from the brothel, is she?

Of course not. She is a proper lady from a noble family.

Her father is a prominent court official. Her sister married into the royal family.

She is educated, well-mannered, gentle, and polite.

Good. Very good.

Look.

Isn't she beautiful?

Absolutely.

Mom,

isn't she the one you picked for Chumu?

That's right.

Brilliant, Chujun.

You dare to steal Chumu's woman?

You did that too, didn't you?

You stole Princess Xinnan from him.

I shall be given the same opportunity as you were.

Stop there, Sheng Chujun.

Don't stop me, Mom.

Don't stop me, Mom.

I'll set him straight.

No. Don't.

Sheng Chujun, stop right there!

Stop!

Why do they have to make it difficult for their brother?

She's stunning indeed.

You're not allowed in.

I'm on my official duty.

Do you know who is inside?

Get out of my way.

The Crown Prince.

Sheng Chumu.

How dare you?

Your Royal Highness,

I suspect that the rebel, Jisun Chenxin...

How dare you?

I just want to arrest the rebel as soon as possible.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

Your Royal Highness.

We've searched all other places.

Didn't find him.

It's only me here.

You don't even trust me?

Please forgive us.

This is a matter of great importance.

We have to search this place.

Search for him!

No one's found.

Are you happy now?

Sheng Chumu,

don't think there's nothing I can do about you

just because you're protected by King Han.

I am a loyal servant of this country.

I don't need anyone's protection.

Sorry to have disturbed you.

Now get lost!

Yes.

Let's go.

Thank you for saving me, Your Royal Highness.

Yin? Why are you here?

You're still alive.

I'm sorry.

I can't stay with you anymore.

Young Master exempted my uncle from a ransom

and asked him to take me home.

I was going to tell you when I left.

But

Mr. Wu said you were resting.

and couldn't be disturbed.

Sister, what's wrong?

I'm fine.

As long as you stay safe.

Niece,

we must leave or we can't arrive before the sunset.

I'll be right there.

Yin.

Master.

Yin.

I only want to ask you one question.

You have to be honest with me.

Did you ever think of abortion

when you were pregnant?

Good man, good deed and good reputation

Now, listen, everyone.

I'm Sheng Chujun.

I used to be young and frivolous.

I'm now gonna mend my ways.

I want to become the man with the best reputation in Chang'an.

Come on.

Master Sheng is doing a good deed.

The poor can all come and get a piece of meat.

Remember to leave your thumbprint first

to prove that our master is a great man.

Good! Good!

Come on. Now line up, please.

This way. This way.

This way.

Line up, please.

Okay.

Come on. This way.

There you go.

Here you are. Come on.

Next, please.

There you go.

Come on. This way.

-Thank you. -Here it is.

-Come on. -This is great.

Thank you.

Hold on.

You.

Put it down.

I'm offering you the chance to do some charity

by taking the meat.

Do you wanna get killed...

My bro,

a gentleman gets the meat in the right way.

These are for the poor.

Judging from your nice clothes...

Will you stop? Go to hell.

Good! Beat him up!

A fault confessed is half redressed.

Will you apologize?

Bravo!

Will you?

Master has taught us a wonderful lesson

about the importance of kindness.

Am I a virtuous man?

Absolutely.

Please don't beat me anymore.

It was quite right

to ask you to mend your ways.

Quite right.

If you don't mind,

leave your thumbprint.

Come on.

Okay.

Good! Brilliant!

Come on. It's alright.

Go on collecting your meat.

Come on. One by one.

Let's go.

King Han's Mansion

The Crown Prince.

It's been a while since we last met.

I did want to visit you.

It's just you were busy with this Literature Pavilion

and your duty as a commander.

You wouldn't have time for me even if I came.

Don't be kidding, Brother.

I prepared everything for you a few days ago

after I heard that you wanted to go hunting.

Well then.

Let me see if you've made any progress in horsemanship

after you became a commander.

Brother,

don't be kidding again.

With a body like this,

I can't even get onto the horseback.

I'll watch you do it in a bit.

Chumu,

share your trophies

with the Crown Prince if you get any.

Sure.

Darling,

you've got something for the Crown Prince, haven't you?

What is it?

Guards, bring it here.

When I was in Zhao city,

I heard about a local custom.

It's called "a safe autumn".

One should always make a new saddle

for his elder brother

after the autumn hunting,

which means you'll always be safe and stay in the saddle.

So,

I asked my people

to make a new saddle for you

with a special embroidery of the King's Hunt.

Wish you get as many trophies as you want.

King Han,

that's very thoughtful of you.

I'll take it then.

I'll use this new saddle for this hunt.

Your Royal Highness.

What's wrong?

A few threads have broken on this embroidery.

What's wrong with these people?

They were so careless.

Go fetch someone.

Yes.

The Crown Prince,

that was my fault.

It's alright.

Your Royal Highness.

How did you do your work?

No go and repair the embroidery.

Yes.

King Han,

King Han's Mansion

how are you going with compiling your overview

of The History of Tang Literature?

Almost finished.

So, next,

I plan to stay in my mansion

and focus on compiling my book.

Right.

I do hope you don't have to get around every day.

That must be tiring.

Look at you.

You've become thinner.

You heard that? The sound is even different.

Your Royal Highness,

I've repaired the embroidery.

Leave, now.

I'll deal with you later.

Yes.

The maid was too clumsy.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's alright.

King Liang and Prince Consort haven't arrived yet.

There you are.

My apologies.

I'm late.

Where's Prince Consort?

Here I am.

King Han's Mansion

Prince Consort,

you're late.

You should be punished.

Yes, indeed.

I thought it would be fun if we've got more people here.

So, I've brought someone here

to meet you.

I'm Yan Zifang. It's an honor.

Hou Chang,

you should be careful with your associates.

Don't get too close

with the inferiors.

According to Lady Ma from the No. 1 Chang'an Shop,

General Yan is an excellent falconer.

He's also kept a golden eagle.

Oh, really?

Then I'm ready to get impressed.

It's about time.

We should get going.

Yes.

Let's go.

I can be really slow on this horse.

Don't wait for me, then.

Chumu,

go escort the Crown Prince.

Yes.

Report! Your Royal Highness.

Deer are over there.

Chumu, what are you waiting for?

Go after him.

Yes.

The Prince Consort.

There're many wild beasts in the west.

Let's go west.

Sure.

Right then.

Off they went.

Guards.

-Yes. -Help me get off the horse.

Yes.

Riding here almost broke my bones.

Guards.

Fetch me the braised venison

my wife made for me.

I'm hungry.

Yes.

The Crown Prince.

It might be dangerous to go into the woods alone.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Brilliant!

A nice shot, King Liang.

King Liang.

Yan Zifang,

the golden eagle you keep is not bad.

Give me a price, then.

That was brilliant.

Congratulations on

taming the golden eagle, Your Royal Highness.

We should drink to celebrate.

Chen Ji,

am I dead, too?

Are you coming to

meet me?

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Could the Crown Prince

go west to meet up with King Liang?

It can't be.

I've just heard him.

He must be around.

His horse.

Damn.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Help him up!

Come on.

Sir, there's another one here.

Look after him.

Sir, what do we do with him?

Who are you? Why are you here?

I was just picking herbs in the mountains.

Arrest him.

Follow me.

Out of my way!

Out of my way!

How is my husband?

His Royal Highness was injured and is still in a coma.

The imperial physicians are treating him inside.

Weren't you with him?

Why would he get injured?

I was with King Liang in the west.

It was King Han and Sheng Chumu

that found the Crown Prince first.

We didn't know how it happened.

We had only separated for a short while.

He had passed out

by the time we found him again.

When will the Crown Prince wake up?

I...

I can't be sure.

Try your best

and make sure he wakes up.

Yes.

If you'll excuse me.

Hurry up.

Burn incense in the courtyard.

Your Majesty.

You're still ill and it's freezing outside.

You can't go out or you'll get a cold.

The life of the Crown Prince is related to the fate of our nation.

My prayer for his blessings

must not be hidden under this roof.

I'm his mom.

I need to pray to heaven for him.

Your Majesty.

Dear Heavenly Father,

as the Emperor of this nation,

I pray to you with my whole heart.

The Crown Prince

needs to rule this country

and work for the well-being of his people.
