why are you lot here?

Aren't you meant to be at the cold palace

In your words you highness

i made a gown and was going to give it to mother for a birthday present

But Lady Qian took it from me by force!

and she made a fool of herself in today's gathering

so she came to my place and blamed it on me

your majesty

i already made mistakes before

i wouldn't dare beg for forgiveness

But this back palace belongs to Your Majesty

you can't let others

use punishments privately

your majesty

please don't listen to her lies

the gown that she made

is to make me a fool

if it wasn't her

who made the gown like that on purpose

then how could i have

embarrassed myself

in front of so many people

you're lying

that gown

is made for mother's birthday

how can it be made like that?

you're lying!

do you dare

to ask Xiao Gui Zi to prove it?

he already said he did

it's you who asked him to wait outside for me

no...

yes

no... yes!

enough! all of you shut up

You! Arrogant and bossy, full of schemes!

You won't rest until you cause a ruckus in the back palace, will you?

okay

I will decide for you

from now onwards

i will have no one bother you at the cold palace

You can stay there by yourself!

your majesty

and you...

You're really stupid!

You're not very good at it but you keep playing dirty tricks!

you think i am a fool

Get lost! Go back to Chang Chun palace!

your majesty

your majesty am innocent

Take away

yes your highness

your highness

your highness i'm innocent

your highness...

your highness i'm innocent

your highness

your highness i'm innocent

your majesty

all of them are fake

fake

don't follow me

i want to be alone for a while

i want to be alone don't follow me!

yes

These chains

i don't want it

why is this person walking around here?

if the emperor saw this he's get killed

leave it

might as well not mind other's business

but no matter what...

it's still a person's life

hey you!

do you know this is the emperor's place?

you can't walk around so freely otherwise you will get killed

why are you looking at me?

talking to you!

this is the emperor's place do you not want to live?

Are you a guard or a maiden?

it's none of your business

if you're a guard

you look like a woman

if your a maiden why are you in guards' clothing

I saw the guards

wearing this looks so cool so i borrowed it to wear

is there a problem?

So basically your a maiden

so what if i am?

why are you walking here bare footed?

are you trying to learn...

learn the emperor!

saying something like if the feet hurts then your heart doesn't

it's no use

if your feet hurts, it hurts if your heart hurts, it hurts

you can't mix them together

i know

this pain can never be replaced

you're still walking can't you feel pain?

i know

are you doing a punishment?

little maid...

can't you just think positively?

good?

let's say that i am the emperor!

you think it's my first day in the palace?

The Emperor wears a dragon robe!

what you're wearing right now...

You're at most a eunuch

Eunuch?

what?

you're still not admitting?

you're good

You could tell right away I was a eunuch!

it's not really hard to guess

in this palace,

aside from the emperor, there are only eunuchs.

those guards are not allowed to come in

what?

i haven't ate for a whole day now

am a bit hungry

such a coincidence

am hungry too

it's fate that we met

you are lucky

come with me

wear your shoes

hurry up

ok...

everyone that's it for today you can all go

come here com here!

so much food!

of course

This imperial kitchen

makes the best food in the world!

Hey, you seem really familiar with this place

do you come here often to steal food?

what are you saying?!

this is my first time here!

If I didn't see you so hungry, with nothing to eat tonight,

i wouldn't risk it here

what are you doing?

what now?

you will get caught like this

watch me

eat this

so many

you won't get caught having a couple missing

eat it

still saying you don't come here often

looking at you

how can you be like this?

Mistake a good person for a bad one!

let's both not eat it then

what are you doing?

you have something on your face

where?

look it's there

look look, there it's gone

you

how can you be like this?

who is it? who dares to steal food?

stop!

don't go don't go!

your...your majesty!

what are you doing?

what you doing?

what about you?

why do you keep following me?

if i don't follow you then who should i follow?

if i followed you i would be able to get food

i need to get changed

i ate too much salt a minute ago

am so thirsty let me drink some water and then go

anyway i'm just a soldier

it's not like am going to look at you or anything

you said it

after you drank water you quickly leave

of course i'll quickly leave

why are you still not leaving?

drinking so long still not going back

am going now

you hurry and leave

go go

where else can i find you? go!

Where else can i find you? go..

hurry and go out!

if you're not scared of getting shouted at then come

getting drunk in the middle of the night

causing trouble at the north gate

you've got guts!

if i don't teach you today...

if you step inside the palace on day,

your life will be in danger

Hit!

carry on and hit!

Mr. Iron looks like a pile of beaten dough!

Don't gloat over my misfortune!

Here.. here..

let me see your wound don't look

the wound is in a place that people can't see

so you can't

what's the big deal?

we're the same type of person

You just have one more part than me

I don't miss it

i give you this

The emperor uses this Yulu apointment

Even I can't bear to use it

you too don't use too much

otherwise the next time you get drunk and get beaten you have nothing to use

i didn't drink

Then why did you get hit?

Miss Lian er wanted to run

i saved her

You couldn't have

how can i not know this?

where is Lian Er now?

it's me that's been hit she's fine

that's good

you're an old person in the palace

your eyes are brighter than anyone

you look out for Lian Er

and i look out for her too

so if it's for me to stand out

don't even say getting hit

even if i were to lose a leg

i don't mind

You've licked up all the masters' spit, what's there left for me?

From now on, we are like the eight immortals crossing the sea,

every man for himself.

this time

it was way too dangerous

you colud've told me earlier

i know you don't like the commotions inside the palace

but what can we do?

living in here is like that

you think outside is good?

i'm saying to you

outside is even worse than here

outside

today,

one harms another,

tomorrow, the other harms back

You will be thrust into it unknowingly. It will knock a big hole in your head.

you won't even know how you died

we...

we should forget about leaving the palace

There are too many guards at the north gate

if you were to get caughtyou can die!

Miss

You're my ancestor!

You're my grandmother, ok?

Grandmother, I'm begging you!

Okay.. Okay..

don't say anything else

acting like a woman

who acts like a woman?

i'm a man

Never mind

I'm not leaving

I can only keep kicking hard

for this shuttlecock not to fall.

- There's no other way - That's right! Grandma!

how dare you?

You dare kick Empress's shuttlecock?

Greetings Your Highness

rise

Thank you your majesty

i remember you

you are one of the maidens chosen this year

Can you kick shuttlecock?

a...a little bit

You don't need to be modest

it's kind of boring kicking by myself

how about this?

we both play together

Your majesty

she's only a little maid how is she good enough to play with you

i didn't ask you

i asked her

Yes, servant obeys

Great aim!

No need for so much manners

come over here and sit

you

tell me the truth

from the years that i've been in the palace

you're the best shuttlecock kicker I've seen.

seeing your appearance

you're not from the west courtyard?

Where are you now?

what is your name?

My name is Lian er

I'm at Jing Ren Palace right now

Jing Ren Palace? Then your master...

Then your Master or mistress isn't here anymore

Have you got anything planned?

No, not yet

then how about this?

from now on follow me instead

i...

Quickly thank Empress for her kindness!

Thanks Empress for bestowing kindness

Gong Gong you promised us before

do you still remember?

You promised to bring us rouge

Next time, I will definitely bring it, ok?

Don't forget Gong Gong!

go and work

go

okay..okay.. let's go

What is it?

Let's talk somewhere else

Su Gong Gong

do you know..

what's been on with Lian Er

i was going to talk to you two

Aren't both of you a little bit too daring?

the palace's rules are so strict

and you lot still dares to escape

Has she... got in trouble

Thank God for protecting her

Miss Lian'er is very fortunate

not only is she fine

she got a blessing in disguise!

what do you mean?

Empress...

likes to play shuttlecock.

Lian'er can also play

both of them kicked together

The Empress took her to Kun Ning Palace

anything else?

i've got something to do i'm going to go

God this is so not fair

she loves danger so much

but always get away with it

am always asking for safety

but I'm still laboring away at Xinzheku.

why is this?

Crap

she didn't see me arrive that day

will she be angry?

and not be friends with me

if it's like this

then wouldn't i have no hope at all?

Why is Yu Shu pouring water over herself?

hurry and look

what's going on what's she doing?

Yu Shu!

what are you doing Yu Shu?

you can get very ill

Yes, Yu Shu

I'm so dizzy

Yu Shu

Yu Shu! Someone come!

Yu Shu

Yu Shu

- Lian'er - Here, get up

I brought you medicine

Lian'er

I don't need it

It's all my fault

If I didn't get sick all of a sudden,

you would have left by now.

Thank goodness you're alright

Otherwise, I will feel guilty

for a lifetime.

don't say anything like that

You're still sick, you need more rest

You're at Kun Ning Palace now

We won't see each other much

from now on.

Do you have any plans?

what Su Gong Gong said was right

The world outside

is not guaranteed to be safe either.

Since that's the case,

then I can only take it one step at a time.

it's fine now

The queen is a very good person

is also very nice to me

as long as we stay here until age 25

we will be able to get out of here

before then

I won't get in any shenanigans and

let the days

to be as simple and normal as possible

what about me?

what am i going to do?

you..

stay in Xinzheku for now

at least here it's away from strife

is a very safe place

When my position is stable at Kun Ning Palace,

I will think of ways to bring you over, ok?

I will listen to you

take it Su Gong Gong! take it

thank you su gong gong

Lian er

why are you here?

Yu Shu is ill

i came to see her

ill?

she was fine yesterday how can she get ill so quick

originally

she were supposed to escape with me

but maybe it's because she was so anxious yesterday

that she's ill

Miss Lian er

you keep seeing people as nice

have you ever thought

that she's just a coward

she doesn't even want to follow you out

you're blabbering

Yu shu is my best friend

she's not this kind of person

You never really know

what someone is thinking.

This is the palace

Flowers and silks on the surface

cannot cover their vicious nature underneath

you always believe people

It will get you in trouble sooner or later

Okay..okay.. don't say it anymore

i know..

this is the palace

everywhere has evil

but there's no need to suspect everyone right?

if so then how tiring would that be

Lian er okay

my problems

i will decide by myself

thank you su gong gong for telling me

Oh i got something to do i'm going

why is the door locked up?

where did she go?

who's there?

Greetings your highness

where's the girl that used to live here?

Miss Lian Er has been assigned to a different place

Where has she gone to?

i do not know

where has she gone?

the sky hasn't even rained yet

why is the ground wet?

your highness...

her majesty the queen

told the servants to

place water everywhere on the palace grounds

Why?

her majesty said

that lately the southeast wind

has blown the willow catkins everywhere.

And...

Your Majesty's throat is not well

If you inhale them,

they might give you coughs

for several more months.

You won't have any peace over the summer

So

she took the effort

of splashing some water everywhere in the palace.

Once the willow catkins touch water,

they will stick to the ground.

That way, Your Majesty won't choke on them

when walking around at night.

Empress is really thoughtful...

Counting the dates,

I haven't visited her in a long time.

Let's go

To Kun Ning Palace

Yes

Niang Niang

Does it look good?

But I wonder

if this will look a bit too garish?

Will it not look good?

Of course it won't

Wealthy people outside the palace all wear their hair like this

It's much prettier than the palace hairstyle

The Emperor will definitely like it

But the Emperor stopped coming ages ago

Don't even know

if I dress like this,

Will the Emperor ever get a chance to see it?

Niang Niang

Don't be sad

The Emperor must be extremely busy with affairs

He really doesn't have the time to come over

That's why...

No

No matter how busy he is,

he will still take the time to visit Concubine Yun and Concubine Wan,

and Lady Qian.

But he rarely ever comes here

Lian Er

Say

Have i grown ugly?

Not at all

Niang Niang

You are the most beautiful women i've ever seen

Before

I also thought so.

But after being in the palace for some time,

I don't think so anymore.

I don't know if there's something the Emperor doesn't like about me

Why does the Emperor

never look straight at me?

Niang Niang don't think that way

Total sincerity can affect even metal and stone

As long as Niang Niang is good to him,

he will know sooner or later.

Really?

The Emperor has arrived

Niang Niang!

i...

did i hear it wrong?

no you haven't

it really is the emperor coming

really?

hurry up and tell them to go

I need to take care of him by my self

yes go quickly!

this hairstyle is so strange

if i known earlier then i wouldn't have done this hairstyle

Queen

i think it looks quite good

Greetings Your majesty

Stand up

i've been busy lately

so i can't see you often

are you well?

I'm very good

but...

I really miss Your Majesty

You are the ruler of the country

You should put national affairs first

You should not be affected by a woman's charms

You should not delay national affairs

to enjoy for a moment.

Must Empress

recite the ancestors' teachings at this time?

Replying to Your Majesty,

these are the rules set by the ancestors.

Indeed

The ancestors' rules cannot be violated

Right

Queen

I still need to read some reports

i will come back and see you later

Emperor!

Emperor!

i am wrong

am i really wrong?

Niang Niang?

Niang Niang!

what's wrong Niang Niang?

the emperor's left again

the emperor doesn't want me

how could i have made the emperor angry again?

what is going on

how come I am always like this?

Why am I such a disappointment?

Niang Niang

Lian Er

tell me...

how did i make the emperor angry?

please tell me

help me think

help me think what's going on?

i will help Niang Niang

i will help Niang Niang

17th, I heard that you bought a lot of western weapons?

yes

My great country

has every weapon imaginable.

We don't need their toys

Aren't you just wasting the national treasury's money for nothing?

emperor

please listen to what i have to say

These foreign weapons

are extremely powerful

Normal people cannot withstand the impact

i think...

our soldiers

should have these weapons

to build an army.

Even the best weapon

depends on who's using it.

If the person's incapable,

even the best weapon would be useless.

Someone

Attack me with the best weapons

Let 17th Lord see

how weapons should be used.

Yes

Come

17th

What do you think

Your majesty

These foreign weapons are different

Then hit me with this foreign weapon

I can't!

This firearm is very powerful

Can take someone's life

I pardon you from any blame

I wouldn't dare

You come Yes

Come on

Your majesty

Your majesty!

Are you alright?

I'm fine

I didn't think it would actually

be so powerful.

At this rate,

will our soldiers have any hope?

17th

You've done very well

I support your idea

to build such an army.

Your majesty

Your injured

I'm fine

I'll consider it a lesson

Not everything

is what you want it to be.

Come, put these two flower pots here

Yes

Lian Er

Doing things this way

Will it work?

Will the emperor like it?

I stayed in Jing Ren palace before

The colors there were especially vibrant

Unlike here...so dreary

Niang Niang, think

The Emperor is tired after a day's work

He comes to our back palace

to enjoy and relax himself.

If our place

is always so stiff,

how could he possibly like it?

You're right

Makes some sense

Niang Niang

It's all set up

Lian Er

Have another look

Is there anything else we need to change?

This...

Empress

We can do something here...

A well

with some lotus flowers inside

It would look even better!

So it's really like this?

Niang Niang

I will go and organize it now

Quickly go

No need

Lotus flowers wither easily

What if the emperor comes

and sees that?

I remember

that when I was at Xinzheku,

I made lotus lanterns with the others.

I will go and get some

Put it here

It will look good, and won't wither

Sounds good

Then go quickly

i will go now

Heavens bless

i hope that when emperor comes...

he won't go again

it's you

I'm helping my master

and passed by here

Why are you not doing work,

instead hiding here and slacking off?

yes

I love to be the little eunuch who does nothing at all

what?

Doing work in the palace

is tiring and hard

If I don't think of ways to slack off,

I would be so tired!

Hey!

don't touch my things

how come your hand is wounded?

it's nothing

it's only a little scratch

how is it a little scratch?

it looks so deep

you need to hurry and put medicine on

otherwise you can get infected

just let it get infected then

Anyways

No one cares

You were mistreated?

Mistreated?

I know that everyone in the palace

will be treated unfairly sometimes.

But we can't give up

As long as we're kind

and grateful,

God can see

Yes

Follow me

Where to? stand up

Hold it for me

Hold it

Quickly

Hurry

Let's go Come Come

Here

Come here

Follow me

God,

we will let all our happiness

drift away with this lotus lantern.

Everyday from now on,

We will all be very happy

You hear that?

What are you laughing about?

I laugh at you for fooling yourself!

How could a lantern do that much?

Hey! In life,

you can live each day happily or unhappily.

Then why not choose to believe?

to live happily?

There are three wishes!

Still two left!

Quickly make your wish!

I don't have any wishes

Make a wish for your family

No wishes there either

You're even more pitiful than me

You're an orphan?

Pretty much

No wonder

you wanted to give up on yourself.

But, it's no problem!

So what if you don't have family?

From now on, I'll be your family!

Really?

It's fate that we met each other

From now on, I'll be your family

But I have a condition

What is it?

From now on,

you can't give up on yourself like this anymore

or say such extreme things.

Hear that?

I, Niuhulu Lian'er, and...

your name is?

Xiao Zhengzi!

From now on

he will help me.

I will also

help him.

I will strive

to live everyday well.

Yeah

We will strive to live everyday well

Last time I saw you,

you were starving.

Do you starve everyday?

A bit

I'm telling you

Right now i am following the Queen

Everyday i have some very nice things to eat

Then i'll deliver food to you everyday Okay?

Okay

Crap!

What?

I was too busy chatting with you

I forgot

that I still have work to do for the Empress!

I'm leaving now

Next time we'll meet here everyday

Be sure to wait!

I'm Going

This time

the two of us got out of the palace

by using the excuse that we're getting medicine for Empress.

Quickly buy all the things

you need to buy.

Otherwise, if we keep leaving the palace like this,

People will suspect you

I'm going to get some medicine

Before the sun sets,

let's meet up in front of the palace gates.

Okay

Miss Come here

How much are these chestnuts?

20 cents

Here

Hold it carefully

Da ye Who are you marrying?

Such a big entourage!

I'm going to marry Hua Mei

We met each other

when we were very young.

We were in love

and wanted to spend our lives together.

But because of my family,

I let her down.

Now my wife has passed away

I want to fulfill my promise to her

and marry Hua Mei.

Da Ye

Hua Mei, she...

she passed away several days ago.

What?

That can't be

That can't be

Hua Mei!

Hua Mei!

I'm Zi Wen!

I'm here to marry you!

Let go of me

Let me get off!

Let me get off!

Lian Er

Didn't you give me my pearl back already?

Aren't you unable to change anything?

There's nothing more between us

Lian Er

Then why the tears?

I got sand in my eyes

Up until now... why are you still lying to yourself?

The one lying to them self is you not me

Yes

Yes it's me

Because of my teacher..

Because being related to the imperial family would spare him from the death penalty

I married Jia Jia

I hurt you badly

I wanted to cut all ties between us

and live well with Jia Jia.

In the end, I hurt myself badly!

Lian Er

Did you see that old groom just now?

His story

gave me a heavy slap in the face.

I told myself

I can't keep forcing myself

to do something I can't do!

Lian Er

We don't have much time left

If we let it pass by,

We really won't have another chance

Do you think we have a chance right now?

We have

As long as you give me a chance,

I will definitely make you happy again!

Let go of me!

Lian Er!

My heart was already hurt by you

I don't want to get hurt again Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Look

Your heart still has me

You still can't let of of me

Back then, you were the one who didn't want to pursue the relationship

Now you want this relationship

What do you want me to do?

I want you to follow me

I don't want any regrets

Then what about your Fujin?

What about my family?

Jia Jia has been living with a shell of a human being

She would rather live this way

than not have me at all.

It might even feel easier

As for your family,

we can take them with us.

You really have decided to do this?

You won't regret it?

I absolutely won't regret it

I don't want to end up like the old man

When his days are all used up,

he doesn't even have the chance to regret.

Why did I have to meet

someone like you?

Why?

Believe me

In this life,

I will definitely bring you happiness.

Greetings Empress

Greetings Empress

Greetings Empress

No need for manners

So?

Did you buy everything you needed?

- Is everything set? - Yes I bought everything I needed

Empress, come look

Niang Niang, look at this

The palace furnishings stay the same for years. Once we add these little things,

does Niang Niang find it more fresh and exciting?

Yes

These little things

brighten up the entire place.

Not to mention the emperor, even I

really like it.

Really pretty

Niang Niang

Look at this hairpin

with sparkling crystals.

It will look very beautiful in your hair

This hairpin is exquisite

So pretty

But there is only one. The saying goes, "good things come in pairs."

It won't look good if you wear it alone

Yes

You only had one made?

Replying to Niang Niang

because it's very complicated to make,

it takes them several days to finish.

Niang Niang, rest assured. I already placed the order for the other one.

In a few days,

I just need to go pick it up.

You're leaving the palace again? This...

Someone else can go too

but this place is hard to find.

How about this? You go.

If anything happens,

I'll cover for you.

Niang Niang

As long as it makes the emperor happy,

I'm not afraid of breaking some rules.

Right, Lian'er?

Fujin, here sit down

Are you alright?

I don't know what's wrong with me lately

I always feel sick to my stomach

I want to throw up but I can't

You're pregnant?

I'm not sure

I'll quickly get a doctor

If you're really pregnant,

that would be such a joyous event!

Fujin, Duke is back

We should tell him the good news

Nanny, don't say anything for now

It hasn't been confirmed yet

I don't want to excite him for nothing

Yes

Fujin is considerate

I'll go get the doctor now

Quickly sit

- Let's go - Yes

Duke, you're back early today?

Yes

There wasn't much going on in court

Jia Jia

Come, sit. I have something to tell you.

Duke

What's so serious? I'm a bit scared.

I just went to the bank

I withdrew all our savings

From now on, you will be in charge of all this

What's this for?

Nothing

You're the female head of this household. You should be in charge of the money.

But I don't know how to manage money

Nanny and the others will help you

You don't need to worry about that

Also, from now on you don't need to worry

about all the big and small things in the household.

Have the servants do it

Right now, you need to watch your health

and visit teacher more often.

You'll meet someone better...

Duke

What I meant was...

I'm in the military

When war breaks out,

I may leave for battle immediately

at any time.

I may die in battle at any time

You're still young. I don't want you to throw your life away for me.

Duke

Why are you saying such things today?

Did something happen?

Or does the emperor

want to send you off to war?

No

Just voicing my thoughts

Anyways, remember

No matter what you do,

I will support you.

I owe you that

I'm tired

I'm going back to my room

Duke

Duke

Tasty?

Tasty

Everything from you is tasty

Hey

I never asked you which palace you were from

Why are you always hungry?

I'm from Hall of Mental Cultivation. There's not much food to begin with,

and I'm also

clumsy

If I'm not knocking over a vase, I'm ruining a painting

So they...

they punish me by depriving me of meals.

Good thing I met you

Otherwise I would have died of starvation

Then, what if one day, I'm gone?

You also find me stupid,

won't bring me any more chicken?

That's not it! I was saying...

what if one day,

they throw me out of the palace?

What if I die? What if...

Stop!

Don't say such unlucky things

There's no such thing as what if

What if there is?

Then I will just have to starve

How can you be like that?

You need to learn to survive on your own!

You're always relying on others, you'll make them worry!

Hey

Did you say you would be worried...about me?

Yes

I really regret being so soft-hearted back then

Actually getting food for you

I really regret it!

ok, ok ok

i know

You are a good person

You're the best person in the world

let me go

What?

What are you doing, eunuch?

I'm just a small eunuch!

Why are you so nervous?

I...

Ok ok ok...

I know I'm stupid

No one likes me

When I was young,

I really wanted my mother to hug me.

But she never did

Now

you say you're my family, but...

Hey

What?

I also want

To be a very very good relative to you

But if I can't do it will you forgive me?

No matter when,

no matter what you do,

I will always forgive you.

But I believe

that you will do your best.

really

of course

Let's go eat some chicken wings

ok
