Watching the person in the mirror's countenance pale and grow haggard,

Examining love together with regret, both new and old.

Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 21

7

Taking inventory of the treasures was a task Her Highness the Empress gave you.

8

But you snatched it back.

9

You yourself disappeared too.

10

Now you dare to push the blame on me? Not a chance!

11

I'm telling you this,

12

this is the Buddhist stone the Empress Dowager dearly wanted.

13

Not just you or I.

14

Even the Empress will have to pay dearly for this.

15

Who said I am pushing off blame?

16

Zhenzhu, who returned to the eastern hall first earlier?

17

I was the one. It's all my fault.

18

I though Qianqing Palace had strict security and no one would dare to steal the birthday gifts.

19

So I ran out to watch the fireworks with everyone.

20

But not long after I went out, I saw Sister Mingyu.

21

She scolded me and I ran back.

22

Did you discover anything strange?

23

I think there was a human shadow that passed by.

24

Who did you see? Who was it?

25

I...I...

26

Hurry and say it.

27

Zhenzhu, take your time and think clearly. Who was it?

28

I think it was Noble Lady Shu.

29

Alright. Come with me to see her.

30

Stop. What will you say when you see Noble Lady Shu?

31

Zhenzhu is our witness that it was Noble Lady Shu who stole the Buddhist Lotus.

32

Buddhist Lotus was a tribute given by Noble Lady Shu.

33

Why would she steal it back when no one is looking?

34

More importantly, for the sake of setting off fireworks,

35

all the lamps in the hallway were put out.

36

Just by the testimony of one palace maid. Who would believe?

37

But at the time the fireworks were in the air, and I saw clearly.

38

I believe you saw it correctly but we haven't the proof.

39

The timing is so tight so whoever stole it wouldn't have the time to sneak it out.

40

Furthermore, the Buddhist Lotus is so precious so it wouldn't be carelessly handled.

41

It's very possible that it's still on her right now. We need to report it to His Majesty.

42

Report and what? His Majesty will order for a body search?

43

This won't do and that won't do either.

44

The Empress Dowager wanted the Buddhist stone so badly.

45

Now we have lost it, and how would His Majesty forgive this easily?

46

Even if Her Highness the Empress begs for mercy for us, you and I can't escape a severe punishment easily.

47

The more I think about it,

48

it's all your fault, Zhenzhu!

49

It's useless to blame her.

50

If they already plotted the scheme,

51

even if Zhenzhu was present at the time, they would've sent her away.

52

Now the only chance we have

53

is to reclaim the Buddhist Lotus before the family banquet is over.

54

How is that possible?

55

Instead of waiting around, better to make the first move.

56

Mingyu. I know you hate me.

57

But this regards our life and death.

58

Are you willing to put away your bias and collaborate with me?

59

Fine. If you can get us out of this,

60

I'll help you once.

61

Sir.

62

Hailancha, gather everyone to seal Qianqing Palace and ban access for all.

63

Your Highness, there's an urgent report.

64

What is it?

65

What?

66

Empress. What happened?

67

Your Majesty, in the past years, the last performance is always a variety show.

68

Today, how about we switch it to something different?

69

Empress, what is your suggestion?

70

Your Highness the Empress thought might find the old style uninteresting,

71

so they prepared something new.

72

This year, allow our Changchun Palace to show our talent to Your Majesty.

73

You may begin.

74

Just a commoner's petty trick.

75

She dares to bring it up to the hall to show her lack of capability?

76

Watching a petty trick now and then is interesting too.

77

I am aware that this act is coarse,

78

so I only use it as the opening number.

79

Today what I really want to perform,

80

telekinesis.

81

Telekinesis?

82

Look over there.

83

Glazed Buddhist Tower?

84

Glazed Buddhist Tower should be placed in the eastern hall along with the other gifts.

85

How is it here?

86

What telekinesis?

87

Just a blinding trick.

88

Hiding this tower in her robe.

89

Then when others are looking elsewhere,

90

she sneaks it out quietly.

91

But no.

92

Where is the Buddhist stone on the glazed tower?

93

Yes, where is the Buddhist stone on the tower?

94

The trick is good but how can you lose the most precious one?

95

Mistresses, you needn't worry.

96

I was afraid my power wasn't enough.

97

So I moved the Buddhist stone on the tower separately.

98

Then, where is that Buddhist stone now?

99

It's precisely...

100

with Noble Lady Shu!

101

Don't talk nonsense. How is it on me?

102

Right. Originally it's impossible.

103

But I put it on you on purpose.

104

Wei Yingluo. You never came near me.

105

How did you place it?

106

If I have to be near you to move an item onto you,

107

then it's no longer called telekinesis.

108

Noble Lady Shu, look carefully.

109

The Buddhist stone is on you for sure.

110

Preposterous!

111

I only want to reclaim the Buddhist lotus.

112

How is that preposterous?

113

Since the treasure's been gifted, it belongs to His Majesty.

114

Noble Lady, can't be that you can't spare to part with it?

115

- You!

- Don't move.

116

Buddhist Lotus.

117

By goodness. That's so wondrous.

118

It really was on you, Sister.

119

I didn't see it clearly earlier. Can you perform it once again?

120

I can't.

121

The same trick can't be played twice in one day.

122

That is the rule of the trade.

123

Though I only learned two petty tricks from an old artist

124

under the bridge,

125

I still have to abide by the rules of the trade.

126

First Attendant Qing, I must only seek your pardon here.

127

Wei Yingluo. You are good.

128

I am only performing my duty to celebrate His Majesty's birthday and I don't dare to seek reward.

129

Noble Lady Shu, you don't need to reward me especially.

130

Your performance was good.

131

Naturally you should be rewarded.

132

In that case, I thank you, Noble Lady Shu.

133

[ Everlasting Longevity to His Majesty. ]

134

Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your everlasting life.

135

Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your everlasting life.

136

Good. Great performance.

137

I dare to ask you, Noble Lady Shu, how have I offended you?

138

- You never did.

- Then why did you have to do this?

139

You're just a cheap life.

140

Just like...

141

Just like a wild dog on the roadside.

142

If I want to kill it, I kill it. Is there a reason required?

143

She's too much.

144

Wow. This Changchun Palace is such a peculiar place.

145

A fierce dog just came by to bark at people.

146

Now there comes another one.

147

What a peculiar happening.

148

Sorry. His Majesty flipped my tag for tonight.

149

I need to go prepare well.

150

You two continue your barking at each other then.

151

Why did you stop me?

152

I must even the score with her.

153

She already said it.

154

We are just fierce dogs of Changchun Palace.

155

She can just kill us without even a reason.

156

Though we are slaves, we are still humans.

157

You are just going to let her belittle you like this?

158

You want revenge?

159

I want to throw her out of Qianqing Palace with one kick!

160

If you want to beat a snake, you have to beat it where it hurts.

161

If you want revenge, the best way,

162

is to snatch away what she wants the most.

163

What do you mean by that?

164

Noble Lady Shu is going to attend in bed tonight, right?

165

Look at what you're saying though. We are petty palace maids.

166

Are you saying we can control His Majesty's tag-flipping?

167

Want to collaborate with me once again?

168

Didn't you already succeed

169

in reclaiming the Buddhist Lotus? You should be happy.

170

- Why the sighing still?

- She wants to ask something.

171

Why didn't you present the Goddess Luo painting today?

172

I am the Empress after all.

173

I can just admire it privately.

174

To publicize the beauty portrait seems reckless and pretentious.

175

But Your Highness, this Goddess Luo painting is so artistic and vivid.

176

Mesmerizing completely all who see it.

177

You painted it with all your diligence, but you didn't present it.

178

- Isn't that so regrettable?

- What's regrettable about it?

179

Put it away.

180

Your Highness the Empress. If you dress as Goddess Luo,

181

- you will surely be so beautiful too.

- What is that nonsense?

182

Your Highness. Yingluo made you a Goddess Luo dress.

183

It's perfect time for you to put it on now.

184

You'd bring this Goddess Luo to life.

185

What?

186

Yingluo saw last time how you were painting.

187

I thought then I should make the same exact Goddess Luo dress for Your Highness.

188

- Now you can put it on.

- You are all getting so ridiculous.

189

Me, dressed as Goddess Luo? How improper!

190

Erqing.

191

Mingyu, let's help Her Highness dress.

192

And we will compare her with Goddess Luo to see who is prettier.

193

- Alright.

- Your Highness. Come quickly now!

194

- Stop the silliness, I am the Empress!

- Your Highness!

195

No one else is here.

196

- Come on.

- Are you three mad?

197

Your Highness, put it on. Come on.

198

Your Highness, I picked out pretty accessories for you.

199

Your Highness.

200

Hurry.

201

Do you know the rules or not?

202

Do you know where you are?

203

Does it allow you to roam around aimlessly?

204

Speak. What's the story?

205

Chief Eunuch Li, I heard at the fireworks

206

that a star fell into Changchun Palace.

207

Now everyone's gone there to see the fairy goddess.

208

Have you gone completely insane here?

209

The fairy goddess hasn't landed on earth.

210

It's your eyes and mind that have gone blind!

211

- So pretty.

- Yes.

212

So pretty.

213

She's so beautiful.

214

Your Highness, you dressed like this, you are too gorgeous.

215

You look like a beauty walking out of the painting.

216

Your Highness, you talked about the story of "Chubby Huan and Skinny Yan" last time.

217

Yang Yu Huan was so alluring she made cities collapse.

218

Zhao Fei Yan was as light as a swallow. Both were dance masters.

219

Such beauties. I finally get to see one today.

220

But their dancing, I can only see through the books.

221

If you want to witness it, you can beg Her Highness.

222

Everyone says Noble Consort Gao is well-versed in dancing and singing.

223

- But that's because they never saw Her Highness in the past.

- Her Highness in the past what?

224

- What?

- Mingyu.

225

I heard from the elder momo that before Her Highness married,

226

her talent was immense and her dancing was stunning.

227

The Noble Consort's petty tricks can't even compare.

228

It's regrettable that after Her Highness married,

229

she never danced again.

230

Your Highness. I really desire to see it today.

231

- Your Highness, please do one dance.

- Your Highness, one dance.

232

- Yingluo.

- Your Highness.

233

Everyone's not seen your dancing.

234

Please dance one.

235

- Dance one, Your Highness.

- Your Highness, one dance.

236

- Dance one.

- Dance one.

237

Dance one, Your Highness.

238

Your Highness, dance one.

♫ The willows of the palace wall, a jade hairpin. ♫

240

♫ Delicate and soft rose-tinted hands. ♫

♫ Lonesome wine locking away the spring sorrows. ♫

♫ Matters of the past hard to bring about. ♫

243

♫ The willows of the palace wall, a jade hairpin. ♫

244

♫ Delicate and soft rose-tinted hands. ♫

245

♫ Lonesome wine locking away the spring sorrows. ♫

246

♫ Matters of the past hard to bring about. ♫

247

♫ Swinging of the sleeves cannot take it away. ♫

248

♫ My yearning bearing such sorrow. ♫

249

♫ Awaken from the golden millet dream. ♫

250

♫ The fiddle faddle that will never end. ♫

251

Greetings to Your Majesty.

252

Bidding wellness and greetings to Your Majesty.

253

Empress, there's no need to worry. I've already sent the people outside away.

254

Your dance today won't be known by others.

255

Thank you, Your Majesty. I was too disrespectful today.

256

I've never seen you dressed like this.

257

You indeed look beautiful in a way beyond this world.

258

Very different from your usual look.

259

Even Your Majesty is mocking me.

260

I'll go change my clothes now.

261

No rush. I still want to see it.

262

The person is beautiful. Your dance is also beautiful.

263

I never expected this.

264

Your current look is so refined.

265

It's really pleasantly surprising.

266

Your Majesty, you are kidding with me.

267

I've never danced in the last fourteen years.

268

After dancing today, I noticed how stiff I've become.

269

That totally couldn't be considered as dancing.

270

Empress, you're being humble.

271

It wasn't easy to get a chance to attend to His Majesty,

272

but in an instant, the bubble burst.

273

This time, that Noble Lady Shu surely won't be able to feel so proud now.

274

I still haven't practiced the words that Her Highness the Empress asked me to do today.

275

I'm going to practice now.

276

Everyone, go back to your work.

277

Look at happy you are. You almost got into huge trouble today.

278

It's all thanks to Yingluo.

279

After taking a little vengeance on Noble Lady Shu, I feel so happy.

280

No matter what you say, I won't get mad.

281

You think she was only seeking vengeance on Noble Lady Shu?

282

What else?

283

She's thinking more thoroughly and further ahead than you think.

284

Think about it carefully. That dress today

285

seems to have been especially made for Her Highness the Empress.

286

The measurement isn't off at all.

287

A perfect dress like that would take half a month to make.

288

I'm sure that she's been preparing for it beforehand.

289

She already thought of helping Her Highness the Empress stop the Emperor's carriage?

290

You silly girl. She wants to help Her Highness make His Majesty stay, so she could bear a legitimate son soon.

291

If not because Noble Lady Shu was too arrogant today,

292

how could she have brought it out tonight?

293

So cunning.

294

Noble Lady, it's time to go back.

295

Get lost!

296

Zhenzhu, you've been turning so many times.

297

Be careful of getting dizzy.

298

Biecai, look.

299

- It really does look very similar.

- Let me teach you.

- Okay.

300

- What are you two doing?

- Yingluo.

301

Everyone likes to doll up lately. We're just having some fun.

302

You two go finish your tasks first.

303

If you get seen by our mistress, I won't ask for leniency on your behalf.

304

Yes... We'll go now.

305

Zhenzhu, do I look like a flying swallow?

306

You do. You just lack the dress.

307

- Next time, let's ask Yingluo to make you one too.

- Right.

308

Stop right there!

309

Yes.

310

What's that thing on your forehead?

311

Replying to Noble Lady, this is the latest make-up trend in the palace.

312

We all are imitating Princess Shouyang

313

and placed flowers on our foreheads.

314

Noble Lady!

315

- Get lost!

- Yes.

316

Your Highness! Wait for me, Your Highness!

317

I heard that Her Highness Empress dressed as the River Goddess Luo,

318

causing you to wait in vain for a night.

319

I'm so furious.

320

Quickly put your hand down and let me see.

321

♫ Sitting alone in the royal palace

322

♫ for years in a row.

323

♫ His royal favor ♫

324

♫ I lead the way. ♫

325

Your Highness, Noble Lady Shu is here.

326

♫ The palace is empty ♫

327

♫ such loneliness. ♫

328

♫ putting to vain the wish of Chang'e (Goddess of Moon). ♫

329

♫ Sleeping in solitude. ♫

330

I didn't do my task well. May Your Highness punish me.

331

Unable to do a task well means that you're useless.

332

Why would I still want a useless person?

333

Your Highness!

334

Your Highness, I heard that Empress Dowager is coming back from Changchun Garden.

335

So what?

336

Your Highness the Noble Consort, give me one more chance. I guarantee

337

that this time, not only will that bad dog get eliminated,

338

Empress will also completely lose the favor of Empress Dowager.

339

She won't be able to lift her head again in front of you.

340

♫ Sip, sip, spit. ♫

341

♫ If you fail her ladyship ♫

342

♫ and fall into discord with her ladyship, ♫

343

♫ then I will go and report to court! ♫

344

♫ Go, go you slave! ♫

345

♫ I will throw you out of the palace ♫

346

♫ and crush your bones to pieces! ♫

347

I surely will not disappoint Your Highness!

348

Yingluo! Her Highness the Empress has decreed

349

for us all to accompany Empress Dowager in touring the garden.

350

- Empress Dowager is back in the palace?

- Stop dilly-dallying.

351

Her Highness is Empress is waiting. Hurry. Let's go!

352

- Be careful of your steps.

- Okay.

353

These past days,

354

I was in Changchun Garden Park praying to Buddha.

355

It's been hard on you, since you have to take care of matters on both sides.

356

You've worked hard, Empress.

357

Managing the inner palace and attending to you

358

are my duties.

359

I dare not ask for any merit.

360

Empress Dowager, there's something you don't know.

361

Her Highness the Empress has lofty character and a pure and refined heart.

362

The whole palace sees her as their model.

363

They even tried to imitate her actions, speech, and smile,

364

so that they might be able to obtain the doting of His Majesty.

365

The Empress has always been fair in handling matters

366

and has a composed behavior. In the whole palace,

367

if the Imperial consorts could just learn even a third of it,

368

I would already be content.

369

Empress Dowager, I'm not worthy of your praises.

370

Everyone, sit down.

371

Stop being humble.

372

I know you very well.

373

His Majesty is very diligent in his work.

374

He surely will do things personally.

375

It couldn't be helped for him to be lax in taking care of himself.

376

In the inner palace, there are so many miscellaneous affairs

377

and a complex array of personnel. They all need you

378

to manage them.

379

For His Majesty to be able to focus on state affairs

380

and the whole palace to be harmonious and unified,

381

this is all thanks to you.

382

In my opinion, in this world,

383

no one is more appropriate than you.

384

Where is that Noble Lady Nalan who gifted me the Crystal Buddhist Pagoda?

385

Noble Lady Shu, quickly go up there.

386

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

387

You were able to find the Buddhist stone.

388

It means that you're fated with Buddha.

389

I never thought you were even

390

such a beautiful lady.

391

You look better than your father, Yongshou.

392

Replying to Empress Dowager, I look more like my mother.

393

Empress Dowager, it will be Yanhui Pavilion in front.

394

The peonies in front of the pavilion have already bloomed. It's really a wonderful sight.

395

Okay...

396

- Go look what's going on.

- Zhilan, quickly go!

397

Yes!

398

Mingyu.

399

Hurry!

400

- Zhilan.

- Let go of me!

401

Zhilan, don't rush.

402

- Let go of me!

- Let me wipe your sweat.

403

- Move aside! I told you to move aside!

- Don't go.

404

Zhilan, your ankle has twisted.

405

- Let me take a look.

- Get lost!

406

If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have imitated Her Highness the Empress!

407

We actually incited such huge trouble.

408

It's all your fault. Why did you push her?

409

I was just kidding around. Who knew that she wasn't standing stably?

410

Don't say it anymore. Let's quickly check on her.

411

No.... I couldn't dare. My knees are weak from fear.

412

Stop dilly-dallying. We can't just leave her there.

413

Let's quickly leave.

414

[ Yanhui Pavilion ]

415

How come you don't know how to appreciate kindness? I'm doing this for your own good.

416

Stop blocking me! Don't you understand human language?

417

Let go of me! Let go!

418

With such a huge incident happening,

419

even if you block me, it's a waste of time.

420

I was ordered by Noble Consort to come here and investigate,

421

yet you keep blocking me. What is your motive?

422

Empress Dowager is here.

423

Investigate what has happened.

424

Replying to Empress Dowager, because this palace maid fell from a high place and died,

425

her face was badly injured.

426

I was afraid that it might scare all of you, so I especially covered her face with a handkerchief.

427

- But why did she fall?

- I still haven't verified that.

428

You are palace maids of Yanhui Pavilion?

429

Speak up!

430

The three of us were sweepers of Yanhui Pavilion.

431

We were fooling around earlier.

432

Who knew that she would lose her footing and fall from a high place.

433

I was so shocked and wasn't able to pull her back in time.

434

So...

435

This is one life.

436

Just brushing it off as fooling around,

437

isn't that too much like child's play?

438

What Empress Dowager said is so right.

439

Since you three are on duty, you should have done your work well.

440

How come you're here fooling around?

441

Quickly tell the truth.

442

If you anger Her Highness the Empress Dowager, be careful of getting severely punished.

443

Empress Dowager, please forgive us!

444

Recently, there's an on-going trend in the palace to do dress-up games.

445

Everyone wants to imitate the look of a butterfly beauty and have fun.

446

We also were just being mischievous for a moment,

447

and eventually ended up committing such a huge mistake.

448

Yes, Your Highness the Empress Dowager. We didn't mean to.

449

May Empress Dowager forgive us.

450

What dress-up game?

451

It's....

452

It came from Changchun Palace.

453

Her Highness the Empress, she...

454

Replying to the Empress Dowager,

455

based on my guess, this palace maid earlier was trying to imitate Noble Consort Gao

456

and accidentally fell from the top level of Yanhui Pavilion, and thus lost her life.

457

As for why she was imitating Noble Consort Gao...

458

Maybe because the "The Drunken Beauty" act of Noble Consort was so moving?

459

Hence, the palace maids all want to be like her.

460

"The Drunken Beauty"?

461

What?

462

Is Noble Consort doing opera performances here in the palace?

463

How dare, you lowly servant! Who told you to spout nonsense here?

464

When did anyone try to imitate me?

465

Your Highness the Noble Consort indeed doesn't need to convey it in words.

466

You just need to sing loudly.

467

Every day there are sounds of huqin coming from Chuxiu Palace.

468

The performances go on, one after the other.

469

Today, it's "The Palace of Eternal Life".

470

Tomorrow, it will be "Farewell My Concubine".

471

Especially that "The Drunken Beauty" of yours, Noble Consort Gao,

472

you sang it to perfection.

473

Your dancing figure was also so gentle and beautiful that His Majesty likes it very much.

474

Even those opera singers have to admit inferiority to you.

475

The palace maids admire her for it.

476

Wanting to imitate her

477

to earn the liking of the Emperor is also just normal.

478

Mingyu, am I right?

479

Yes...

480

Empress Dowager, yesterday, your servant saw someone imitating Consort Yu (of the Chu-Han Contention) even.

481

Your Highness the Noble Consort, don't blame me for being talkative.

482

"Farewell My Concubine" shows the death of an empire. It's really quite inauspicious.

483

It's better that you sing "The Drunken Beauty".

484

I told you to study more when you're doing nothing.

485

Who said that Noble Consort Yang is better?

486

Didn't it end up causing someone's life?

487

And Noble Consort Yang died at Mawei Station.

488

And the national fortune of Great Tang befell after the Anshi Rebellion.

489

It was also quite a pity.

490

Inauspicious. All are inauspicious.

491

Yes, I'm indeed uneducated.

492

Before, when I listened to the storytellers,

493

I was only able to listen until the Han dynasty, and not yet about the Tang dynasty.

494

Noble Consort, next time, you should sing, "Lady General Mu Guiying".

495

Such a look. So commanding. So great!

496

It's not good either.

497

“The Drunken Beauty" already caused a life.

498

If you still include some fight scenes, what would happen?

499

Shut up! You two shut up!

500

This kind of make-up style clearly came from Changchun Palace.

501

How could you falsely accuse her to be imitating Her Highness the Noble Consort?

502

Wei Yingluo, don't slander Noble Consort.

503

Be careful that disaster might come from your mouth.

504

Her Highness the Empress doesn't know to perform "The Drunken Beauty".

505

She also has never publicly played as Noble Consort Yang.

506

What does this matter have to do with her?

507

But in Chuxiu Palace, there's an opera performance every day.

508

Everyone can hear it.

509

Listening to operas is just to idle the time away.

510

Not just Noble Consort, other palaces also have opera performances.

511

When it's nearing the new year, there will be successive performances.

512

How could you blame this matter on Chuxiu Palace?

513

Enough! Stop talking!

514

Empress,

515

when did the inner palace start to have opera performances?

516

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I...

517

If Your Highness the Empress Dowager will allow it,

518

I can prove it to everyone.

519

What evidence can you have?

520

How come it's like this?

521

Return to the palace!

522

Your Highness the Empress...you really have bred a good dog!

523

I...I...

524

You two are still not leaving?

525

Stop right there!

526

Your Highness the Empress, this palace maid

527

just suddenly fell from a high place.

528

It's really very strange.

529

These two should be detained and interrogated well.

530

Men, take them away and detain them.

531

Your Highness the Empress, I will take my leave now.
