Episode 13

Qingti,

I'll give you the task of forging the short knife.

Your Majesty, rest assured.

I've called together the best blacksmiths in our state.

I won't fail Xiaojiu for sure.

After knowing Xiaojiu,

I've been much happier.

Really?

Your Majesty!

Slow down.

- Your Majesty! - What's the hurry?

Captain Bai just sent word that

he has found the woman who had fallen into water.

What?!

If His Majesty fails to go through his misfortunes,

his cultivation won't come back.

When the Demon King breaks the seal,

Eight Deserts and Six Directions

will suffer from a huge misfortune.

The consequences will be terrible.

♪ When treasured love ♪

Song Xuanren is just His Majesty's incarnation in the mortal realm.

He's not His Majesty,

nor his rebirth.

He is just Song Xuanren.

And you are still Bai Fengjiu.

This is your fate.

Your Highness,

you have to live with that.

Your Majesty,

to walk around conveniently,

I usually dress as a man.

That day on the Hall,

everyone was there.

I really couldn't reveal my identity,

so I let them mistake me as a man.

Your Majesty, please forgive me for deceiving you.

Rise.

Then why do you confess today?

I may not find out your identity.

Your Majesty, I don't want you to set foot in the Cold Palace ever again.

It's a place of loneliness for hundreds of years,

so hopeless and so cold.

It doesn't suit you.

You're so considerate.

I ask for nothing.

I only want to stay by your side forever.

The ornament on your forehead

looks like an unfolded phoenix feather.

The ornament on my forehead

is a birthmark I've had since I was born.

Its color is too bright,

so I use cosmetics to cover it

for fear that it might cause trouble when I'm out alone.

Good!

Well done!

Such a beauty

should not be seen by strangers easily.

Eunuch!

Bai Xiaojiu

is bright and cheerful in disposition and righteous and honest in virtue.

I hereby bestow the title of Imperial Lady upon her

and allow her to live in Yue Hua Palace.

Is it too fast?

How can this be fast?

You don't like it?

I do.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

I'm glad you do.

Your Majesty,

traditionally, to bestow titles upon consorts,

we have to check family background first.

I'm afraid it's not appropriate

to bestow the title in such a hurry.

Having saved me twice,

Xiaojiu has rendered great services.

I don't even know what I should grant her.

The title of Imperial Lady

is not enough.

Well...

Your Majesty, congratulations.

Your Highness, congratulations.

Your Highness, are you OK?

Si Ming,

I won't act capriciously anymore.

When Emperor Dong Hua wakes up

after passing the love test,

he won't remember anything.

I remember.

Aren't those memories

in Tai Chen Palace not deep enough?

Si Ming,

I won't face the test

with my own obsession any more.

This time, I'm here to complete the love test

on behalf of Zhou Mengxi.

Also, I won't mess with Emperor Dong Hua's love test anymore.

You'll suffer from backfire.

The longer you stay in the mortal realm,

the harder it will be to heal your wounds.

Do remember,

don't go through extreme emotions

or get too involved in love.

I'll make it quick.

Mother,

good day!

Ren'er, you're here.

Take a seat.

Ren'er,

I heard you've had a new Imperial Lady Jiu.

I'm about to tell you.

She saved my life before.

To thank her for saving you,

you only need to grant her an official position

or reward her with properties.

I'm afraid it's inappropriate to take her into the imperial harem.

Mother,

it's not likely for her to harbor evil intents towards me.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have saved me back then.

I just think...

Mother,

with her by my side,

I feel so happy.

I want to keep her in the imperial palace.

Well,

you are exactly the same as your father.

I said so

for your safety

and the general picture of the State of Chengyu.

If you really want to keep her,

you must observe her for some time

before making the decision.

The title conferring ceremony should be postponed.

Mother, thank you for your approval.

Your Highness!

Your Highness,

among these maids, do you find anyone pleasing?

What's your name?

I'm Muyun.

I'll take her.

Yes.

Your Highness,

do you like quilt of this color?

It's good.

Muyun,

the butterfly mark behind your neck

is quite special.

It's a birthmark.

I've had it since I was born.

Strange to say,

every time I wake up after having a dream,

the birthmark feels warm.

Dream?

What dream?

Since childhood,

I've been having the same dream.

In my dream, I'm a butterfly

being punished by my master after doing something wrong.

A woman saves me.

But in my dream,

I can't see her face

no matter how hard I try.

Is Muyun

that Mufeng Butterfly expelled from heaven to the mortal realm?

We've never met before,

but fate brings us together.

Take this hairpin as my gift for you.

Your Highness,

I haven't rendered any meritorious service yet.

I don't deserve such a precious gift.

It's for you. Just take it.

Yes.

Your Highness, you're so good to me.

Fetch me a tub of water.

After a day's busy schedule,

I feel uncomfortable all over.

Your Highness, do you want to have dinner before bathing?

No need.

I've just had some snacks.

I can eat later.

Right.

His Majesty is sure to come tonight.

You should have dinner together.

I'm careless.

Your Highness,

I'll go and fetch water for you.

Your Majesty,

are you painting the scene when you met Her Highness Jiu?

I dared not put brush to paper

as if there were layers of fog in front of my eyes.

Now that I've seen Xiaojiu in person,

I suddenly remember clearly.

Your Majesty, tonight...

I'll go to Yue Hua Palace.

Frame it

after the ink is dried,

and keep it in Muning Hall.

Yes.

Fate is so mysterious.

It brings Mufeng Butterfly to me,

but it keeps Emperor Dong Hua from me.

Fengjiu! Fengjiu!

Don't get confused! Don't waiver!

His Majesty is not Emperor Dong Hua!

Just focus on completing the love test,

and get everything back on track as soon as possible!

Don't think too much!

His Majesty is here!

Your Majesty!

Rise.

Where's Imperial Lady Jiu?

Your Majesty, Her Highness is bathing.

Then I'll wait for her here.

Is she used to living here?

Is she short of anything?

Your Majesty,

Her Highness just moved in today.

I'm too impatient.

Too impatient.

Keep an eye on Yue Hua Palace for me.

If they're short of anything,

just take it directly from Muning Hall.

No need to bother others.

Your Majesty!

Rise!

Leave us alone.

Go! Go! Go!

Come here.

You're my Imperial Lady.

We are husband and wife in common people's eyes.

No need to be nervous.

Husband and wife?

It's the first time for me to be someone's wife.

I'm just not used to that.

Mother agreed to keep you in the imperial palace,

but she insisted on postponing the title conferring ceremony.

Sorry to keep you waiting

all these days.

Filial piety is the most important of all virtues.

Your Majesty, you should certainly

follow Her Majesty's words.

Moreover,

I don't care about status.

But I do.

I want to bring all your families into the capital,

so as to remove my mother's doubts.

In this way, you can get the title as soon as possible.

What do you think?

Do I have to tell him that my parents have passed away and I'm all alone?

It doesn't go with my character,

and it is hard to act.

What if I give myself away?

I used to live in the wild,

and I'm not a registered citizen.

Also, my parents have been traveling around the world.

It's hard to find them in such a short time.

Well,

it's pretty tricky.

But I still want to send people to your home

in case your parents might return home after finishing their trips.

Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness.

It's just our house is located in a desolated place

which is hard to find.

Let me draw a map to our house first

and present to you later.

That's terrific!

Xiaojiu,

the more I look at you, the better you look.

Everybody says Imperial Concubine Wan is a matchless beauty.

But I think, you're more beautiful

than she is.

Your Majesty, I'm so flattered.

I'm not that beautiful.

Yes, you are.

I'm not a lecher,

but I fell in love with you

right after I saw you in the water.

I've never

experienced that before.

He's speaking sugared words with Emperor Dong Hua's face.

Who can resist that?

What are you doing?

Your Majesty, you're not a lecher,

but I can't resist a beauty like you.

Please don't look at me this way.

You!

You're the first one

who has ever called me a beauty.

What's wrong?

I must have caught a cold.

I'm afraid I might infect Your Majesty.

I'll send for the imperial physician to write you a prescription.

That's not necessary.

I'm just coughing.

I'll be fine after resting for one or two days.

Then you should rest well.

You haven't got your title yet. It's improper for me to stay here for long.

I'll visit you some other day.

Have a rest.

No need to see me out.

Your Majesty, see you!

Your Majesty,

Wan Yun Palace is not far ahead.

Would you like to see Her Highness Wan?

No need.

Just take good care of

Imperial Concubine Wan in terms of food and clothing.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Go back to Muning Hall.

= Yue Hua Palace =

Your Highness,

I heard that His Majesty has just appointed an Imperial Lady Jiu.

There's no official title conferring ceremony yet

because the Empress Dowager held it off.

His Majesty didn't visit you last night, but he...

You've got nothing useful last night,

but these useless information.

There are so many beauties in the imperial harem.

Whoever His Majesty loves has nothing to do with us.

Let's focus on our business.

Your Highness, so this is what you've been talking about?

If others know about it,

they will surely laugh at you.

But I just love to eat it.

It smells good!

Very good!

Your Majesty!

I've smelt the fragrance for some time.

I came from a rural place,

so I love to eat coarse food grain.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being foolish.

Why is that foolish?

I wonder whether I'm lucky enough

to taste the sweet potato roasted by Xiaojiu in person.

Your Majesty, you also like to eat the roasted sweet potato?

Of course!

Sure!

Delicious!

As long as you like it.

Fragrant, sweet and soft, it's terrific!

Come here.

Take a seat.

All the women in my imperial harem

love to eat delicacies of every kind.

Leave us.

You're the first one

who loves to eat the roasted sweet potato.

I once ate a roasted sweet potato

someone specially made for me.

Since then, I've loved the flavor.

That's the most delicious sweet potato

I've ever had in my life.

Really?

He's really something.

He made you think about him all the time

simply by roasting sweet potatoes.

In fact, memories in our mind can be deceptive.

After a long time,

even if I rack my brains,

I can only find a few

shared memories with him.

To me, I treasure

those memories so much

that I've even formed ideas that I shouldn't have,

which turn into obsession.

However,

things will be different if I can

relive those good memories by eating.

Such a feeling

will become an instinct.

Just like tasting mom's cooking

for the first time in early childhood,

I still find it familiar after recalling it many years later.

Just like the sweet potato he roasted for me,

however chaotic and disturbing the world is,

as long as I think of that flavor,

I feel relieved and happy.

I do want to meet him.

You can't.

He's so far away.

Yet he's so close.

Your Majesty, it's you, but you just don't remember.

Recently, rumor is spreading in the imperial palace that

the Imperial Lady Jiu just appointed by His Majesty

can draw weapon sketch.

Really?

Indeed!

Look, these are the weapon books

His Majesty ordered me to send to Imperial Lady Jiu

in Yue Hua Palace.

Coming from the countryside,

she must have learned some skills

to tempt His Majesty.

Not only is she of low birth,

but rumor has it that to seduce His Majesty,

she even get herself wet and bump into His Majesty on purpose.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Xiaojiu is adept with both the pen and the sword.

She stepped forward bravely and saved His Majesty many times.

Righteous as she is,

even men can't match her.

You're also women.

How can you defame her like that?

General Ye, please forgive us!

General Ye, please forgive us!

Fine. Fine.

This is inappropriate in the imperial palace.

Leave now!

Yes!

We don't know anything about Xiaojiu,

and we can't find any clue.

If we let her stay by His Majesty's side...

She saved not only His Majesty

but me.

If you suspect her,

you'd better serve someone else.

I'm sorry.

Address her by "Your Highness" in future.

Let's go! Keep patrolling!

Yes.

Your Highness,

I've searched Lingxiao Pavilion

at the northwest corner of the imperial palace.

Lingbi Stone can't be kept there.

Is that the last place?

Yes.

We've almost searched everywhere in the imperial palace,

but we didn't find Lingbi Stone.

In that case,

the only place we haven't searched

is His Majesty's chamber, Muning Hall.

But to get into His Majesty's chamber,

I'm afraid we can only count on you.

Your Highness,

we've come to the State of Chengyu for quite some time,

but His Majesty has never come to Wan Yun Palace.

While that Imperial Lady Jiu is deeply favored by His Majesty.

Last time in the study,

Imperial Lady Jiu meddled in again.

She specially brought the weapon sketch to impress His Majesty.

Your Highness,

you'd better take the initiative than sit still and do nothing.

Enough.

I know what I should do.

We've been making progress. No need to worry.

I feel dizzy these days.

Taking time out of my busy schedule for some fresh air today

and seeing the sun shining brightly,

I feel so happy.

Indeed!

Your Highness, you're lively and cheerful.

Spending too much time indoors can make you sick.

Isn't that Imperial Lady Jiu?

Sisters!

Imperial Lady Jiu, you're so beautiful.

No wonder His Majesty favors you alone.

Sister, I'm so flattered.

His Majesty is here!

Your Majesty!

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Today we're here to appreciate flowers, and there's no outsider here.

No need to feel restrained.

Why is Imperial Concubine Wan not here?

Your Majesty,

after receiving the dragon fruit

granted by you this morning,

Her Highness Wan suddenly turned so homesick

that she felt depressed and uncomfortable.

For fear that she might ruin your mood,

Her Highness Wan wouldn't come,

so she especially sent me to report to Your Majesty.

Since Imperial Concubine Wan entered the imperial palace,

I've never visited her in Wan Yun Palace.

Does she mistakenly think I ignored her on purpose,

so as to become depressed and sad?

In that case, Your Majesty,

why not visit her in Wan Yun Palace?

Imperial Concubine Wan has come a long way from the State of Chong'an to marry in Cheng Yu.

Now that she's sick,

she really needs company.

Well then,

I'll go to Wan Yun Palace first.

Chief Eunuch!

Go to Wan Yun Palace.

Your Highness, are you OK?

I don't know why. I suddenly feel dizzy.

Maybe I'm just tired.

I don't have a mood swing.

Why do I suddenly feel so terrible?

Does the backfire turn worse?

Let's go back.

I'll take you back to our palace right away.

Your Highness,

the medicine is OK. Do you want to take it now?

Just leave it there.

I'll drink it after it cools.

His Majesty is here!

Your Majesty, I didn't know you would come.

Please forgive me for not welcoming you.

Rise.

Chief Eunuch said you're homesick,

so I come to see you.

Your Majesty, thank you for your care.

I'm fine.

Good.

The medicine...

Imperial Concubine Wan, are you sick?

No.

I'm in poor health since childhood.

It's just medicine to keep me fit.

OK.

What's this?

Did you carve it?

Your Majesty,

it's the memorial tablet.

The memorial tablet?

Yes.

In my hometown, we have the tradition of

making memorial tablets for the deceased.

On the one hand, it's for praying that our late families

can rest in peace in heaven.

On the other hand,

it's for commemorating the deceased.

I made this memorial tablet

to commemorate my mother.

Your mother has passed away?

Yes.

She passed away

shortly after I was born.

I'm unable to take care of her even for one day.

In half a month, it'll be my mother's deathday,

so I made this memorial tablet

to commemorate her.

I can understand how you feel.

Just like you,

I lost my mother

right after I was born.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry for

reminding you of your pain.

Rise.

Don't be too sad

to impair your health.

In this case,

your birthday is around the corner.

My birthday is half a month away.

Though I lost my mother when little,

my father loves me dearly.

He celebrated my birthday with me every year.

I'll celebrate your birthday

with you this year.

I've still got important things to attend to.

Have a good rest.

Your Majesty, see you.

Your Highness, congratulations!

Thanks to you,

I got the information of the late empress.

Well,

I haven't paid respects to Empress Dowager Xian today.

Go with me now.

Yes.

Imperial Lady Wan!

Your Highness!

Your Highness,

are you also here to pay respects to Her Majesty Xian?

I'm also here for you.

Your Highness, please be self-possessed.

I am the Imperial Concubine of His Majesty.

I shouldn't get in touch with princes or ministers.

See you.

We've been making progress.

No need to worry.

Your Highness,

I just sent a letter to my families afar

because I missed them so much.

Even if you tell His Majesty,

I'll explain the same way.

A secret letter sent by a flying pigeon,

His Majesty probably won't believe

it's a simple letter home.

Neither of us is dumb.

No need to hide it.

Your Highness,

what do you want?

I knew that

imperial matrimony

wouldn't be a good thing.

Why on earth do you come to the State of Chengyu?

Your Highness,

you've been keeping close watch on

everything happened in the imperial harem.

I wonder why you monitor

the imperial harem.

I am the prince of the State of Chengyu.

I have the right to look into anything

that concerns state security.

Your Highness,

if you think you can declare me guilty

simply with one letter,

feel free to tell His Majesty.

Please go ahead.

Imperial Lady Wan, if you don't want to admit,

I won't press you for an answer.

But you'd better not be self-righteous

or act rashly.

Otherwise,

I won't spare you easily.

Your Highness,

are you letting me off?

As long as you don't act on your own to cause trouble,

I'd like to be your friend.

Imperial Lady Wan, you're new here.

In the imperial palace,

it's better to have a friend

than an enemy, right?

Your Highness,

what on earth does Prince Ying mean?

With sinister motives,

he's not the good type.

I can't figure out what he's up to for now.

However, we should be

more careful and cautious in the imperial palace in the future.

Your Highness,

His Majesty just noticed you.

You should seize the chance

to approach His Majesty and look for Lingbi Stone.

I said no hurry.

We should wait for the right moment.

I'm afraid Mr. Nie

can hardly wait.

Accomplished as you are in martial arts,

why not search Muning Hall on your own.

I certainly won't stop you.

Your Highness, pardon me for crossing the line.

I'll do whatever you ask me.

None of you

can forge this weapon?

Your Excellency,

the sketch design is so ingenious.

I've never seen anything like this before.

We really can't forge it with the current tools.

You are old blacksmiths I invited over

from all around the State of Chengyu.

All of you are skilled,

representing the highest level of our state.

If you can't forge it,

I'm afraid no one in the entire state can.

Well...

Well...

Lose no time.

Make sure to figure out

the forging method within the shortest time.

Yes.

His Majesty is here!

I pay respects to Your Majesty!

Imperial Concubine Wan, do you feel better today?

Your Majesty, thank you for caring.

I'm much better.

Your Majesty,

would you like to join me for a meal?

OK.

These dishes are specialties of Chong'an.

Exactly.

This one is called Peacock Tail,

which implies being splendid, auspicious, rich and honored.

May our two states enjoy lasting prosperity and peace together!

Good!

Well said!

Your Majesty,

this is the chestnut begonia porridge,

which is a specialty of Chong'an.

Your Majesty, you worry a lot

when handling state affairs.

This is an herbal cuisine for strengthening your body and nourishing your vitality.

I hope that after taking it, Your Majesty can calm your mind and reach inner peace.

You're so considerate.

Seldom coming to Wan Yun Palace,

I neglected you.

Your Highness, don't say that.

Though I came a long way to marry in Chengyu,

I've made many friends in the imperial palace,

especially Jiu.

We felt like old friends at first meeting.

If I want to divert myself from boredom,

I can talk with Jiu.

Good.

Is that your Qin?

I didn't know you're a master of music.

I'm not a master.

When I'm not occupied,

I just play it to kill the time.

Your Majesty, if you feel like listening to some music,

I can play it to add to the fun.

OK.

Her Highness Jiu suddenly passed out.

Your Majesty,

word came from Yue Hua Palace that

Her Highness Jiu suddenly passed out.

Hurry up!

Let's go to Yue Hua Palace.

Let me go with you.

Imperial physician,

what's wrong with Her Highness?

As to Her Highness Jiu's disease...

His Majesty is here!

What's wrong with Imperial Lady Jiu?

Why did she suddenly pass out?

Your Majesty,

Her Highness Jiu's pulse condition is smooth, and her main and collateral channels are unobstructed.

Forgive me for being incompetent.

I can't find the cause of her disease.

Just leave.

Yes.

Xiaojiu.

Xiaojiu.

Emperor.

What?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

please forgive me for my slip of tongue.

As long as you're awake.

As long as you're awake.

What happened to me?

You passed out suddenly.

Do you feel uncomfortable?

Then it must be the fact that you're new here

and you're not used to living in the imperial palace.

Staying inside the imperial palace all day long

has impaired your health.

Rest well these days.

In a few days,

I'll take you to the hunting ground to relieve boredom, OK?

What did you just call me?

Emperor?

It is said that eyes don't lie.

Look at his eyes.

Has he really fallen in love with me?

Bai Fengjiu! Bai Fengjiu!

Keep fantasizing like this,

you'll disrupt Emperor Dong Hua's love test again. What to do then?

It's a task! It's not real!

It's for Emperor Dong Hua! It's not real!

Do you feel uncomfortable?

Then you should lie down and rest.

I won't leave.

I'll keep you company.
