=Rebirth For You=

=Episode 22=

Excuse me! Sorry!

Come on!

Yes!

Nice!

Are you alright, Su?

Relax.

They’re far away from us.

Good!

I just can’t.

Great!

Sachets and pendants!

Take a look!

Careful.

I remember that year,

we met right here at the Lantern Festival

as if it happened yesterday.

Su,

you know,

the moment the mask was off,

I knew I found the love of my life.

I can’t

live the way I wanted,

but luckily, I have you by my side.

We only

live once.

All I want

is to grow old with you and only you.

Xuan, how about we fly a lantern?

Sure.

Qinzheng Hall

Please tell His Majesty that I’m here.

Your Highness,

His Majesty is going through reports.

Your Highness.

I know.

Just go.

Uh...

Yes.

Your Highness,

His Majesty has a rule

against women’s disturbance at work.

You’ve made mistakes there before.

Have you not learned anything?

No, he’ll let me in today.

Your Majesty,

Her Highness requests to see you.

The rule exists for a reason.

Do I have to tell you again?

I’m sorry

but Her Highness insists.

I’ll tell her to leave then.

Wait.

What’s the date today?

Today is...

October 2nd, Your Majesty.

That explains it.

It’s still three months away.

What’s the rush?

Taste it, Your Majesty.

With the arrival of autumn,

your birthday is also near.

How do you want to celebrate it?

Your Majesty,

there are still three months.

I’m surprised that you remember it.

That’s enough to make me happy.

No, it’s not.

You’re the Empress.

Your birthday celebration is on schedule

and it must be big.

Inform the Ministry of Rites

about everything you need.

There will be a grand celebration.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

If you don’t mind,

I still have work to do.

Good day, Your Majesty.

See? Look at her!

Hasn’t she changed?

She’s learned something over the years

and she can finally toe the line.

Her Highness is endowed with wit,

and she’s a perfect match for you.

You two are so sweet together.

That’s enough. Don’t exaggerate it.

Listen,

her birthday celebration

is a priority.

After all,

she represents our state

and me.

Envoys will also be in town

in a few days.

It’s a chance for us

to get down to business,

such as buying war-horses from them

which I’ve been trying for years.

The last thing I need

is Han Tongxin stirring up trouble.

I understand.

That’s great news!

Have you sent a message to your parents?

I already have.

Good. I’m so happy for you.

Since you and Baoning got married,

my place looks empty all of a sudden.

No one else will play games with me.

Your Highness...

I’m old enough

to realize

that people come and go in our life.

We’re happy about the reunion and sad about the separation.

Your Highness,

I’ll come more often for Baoning

to keep you company.

Fangling,

bring it in.

Yes.

Have some tea.

I’ve prepared something

for your baby

on the way.

Thank you, Your Highness.

It’s like you were a baby yesterday,

and now, you’re having your own baby.

I won’t be with you for too long.

Still, I’m glad to see the next generation.

Cute umbrellas! Come and take a look!

Her Highness’s gifts are so delicate.

The longevity locket is even embedded with agate.

That’s luxurious.

Her Highness does care about you.

Since Baoning moved to Bingzhou,

Her Highness must’ve felt lonely.

When the baby is born,

I’ll take him or her

to Her Highness’s chamber

so that she can enjoy

having another child in her life.

Wendie.

Yes.

Tell the groom

to stop at the fabric shop.

The locket and bracelets are exquisite.

I’d like to

pick up matching baby clothes.

Sir,

let’s go to Jinxiu Fabric Shop.

Yes, Miss Wendie.

There’s a boy!

My lady!

Are you alright, my lady?

Did you get hurt?

My lady!

Anybody there!

Help!

Xuan.

Mother.

- Where’s Su? - Madam.

Su?

She went to pay respects to Grand Empress Dowager.

Look at you.

You finally have a day off.

Why aren’t you resting?

What are you doing?

I’m making a swing for Su and our baby.

When spring comes,

they can enjoy flowers in the yard

and red leaves

in autumn.

You’re a good husband.

Go on.

Go! Go! This way.

What happened?

She... she was in the carriage

- when it jolted, - Su!

- and then there was blood. - Su!

- Su! - I’ve had them call Physician Wang.

Su!

- Go! - Su!

Please.

Is everything alright?

How are they, Physician Wang?

I’m sorry

about the loss of her baby.

Su,

you’ll have more babies.

There, there.

We love it

but we love you more.

Babies or not,

they aren’t as important as Xuan and Su.

Marchioness,

let’s give them the room.

They probably need some space.

Sure.

Keep yourself warm.

Mother.

Xuan,

take good care of Su.

I will.

It’s my fault

that we lost our baby.

That’s not true.

Don’t beat yourself up.

Su,

your safety

matters more than anything else.

If

anything happened to you,

I can’t imagine

life without you.

Listen,

you mean

the most to me.

Li’s Mansion

How can I help you?

I’m not talking to you.

Go

tell your master and his son

that Liu Guirong is here.

Please wait here.

Guirong.

Yes?

Long time no see.

Indeed.

You were still in split pants the last time I saw you.

And now, you’re even taller than me

and married.

True.

How time flies, right?

You must be doing good, too.

I wouldn’t be here if I was.

Heaven took my father and everything else away from me.

Poor me!

Guirong,

if you need help,

don’t hesitate to ask.

We’ll see what we can do.

Help?

What does that mean?

If you offer to help me,

I’ll be straight with you then.

You’ve been neglecting me

all these years

since my father

died for nothing.

I’m old enough to marry

but that’s long overdue.

How are you

going to help me with that?

Guirong,

I bought you

farmland years ago, didn’t I?

Don’t get me started on that!

It’s too poor to produce anything.

Besides,

I’m all alone.

I can’t do all the farm work on my own.

I understand.

Farming is definitely not

a one-man job.

How about this?

You’ve just arrived.

Why don’t you get some rest?

We can talk about it later.

Alright?

Hey,

I need food, too.

I haven’t had anything for a day.

I’d like roast chicken, beef,

oh,

and liquor.

No problem.

Servant!

Show our guest to his room.

Yes.

By the way,

I’m all raggedy

without more clothes.

Can you give me yours?

Sure.

I’ll have them

make new ones in your size

so that you can get changed.

I’ll take them.

Thank you.

What kind of person is he, darling?

Is he a rascal or what?

Liu Xiaoman told me what happened.

What’s so special about Liu Guirong

that Father and Mother are in his pocket

and even you give him new clothes?

Not exactly.

It’s not that we’re in his pocket.

His father

was my father’s right-handed man

who devoted his life to our family.

He died for my father

in the battle of Yongqing,

so

we’re in his debt.

You know my father.

He hates ingrates most.

That’s why he indulges Liu Guirong

no matter how far he goes.

That rogue

knows Father is too kind

and keeps exploiting his kindness.

He lost his father when he was little

and had a pretty tough life.

My father

felt sorry for him and his mother,

so he bought land and a house

for them at their hometown.

But shortly after that,

his mother died of illness, too.

Since then, he’s been all alone

and fooling around every day,

leaving that land

wasted.

This blackmail must stop,

or he’ll take your help for granted

and keep asking you

for more and more.

That won’t end well.

I understand what you said,

but we can’t put the cards on the table.

Don’t worry.

I’ll talk to Father

and see how it goes.

Fine. Let’s go.

Sure.

If you ask me,

just give him some money

and cut him loose.

No way!

It’s easy for you to say that.

Our money doesn’t grow on trees.

I disagree!

Even if we paid him,

he’d squander it away

and come back for more.

Hear that?

What happened to Guirong?

He’s got nothing good from his father.

How about

we give him a job?

We can do that,

but look at him!

What... what can he do?

We’ll still have to pay the price in the end.

Dongzhi’s idea isn’t too bad.

Yes.

He’s got no skills.

We can arrange something easy to keep him busy

before we find the right job for him.

Let’s help him one last time.

If he’s still greedy

and ungrateful,

he’s on his own.

Want some sunflower seeds, Miss?

Leave the shells in the dustpan.

Relax. I’ll clean them up.

A job will settle Liu Guirong down,

won’t it?

I hope so.

It’s the best we can do for now.

Father is soft with him for old times’ sake.

If he can go hard on him this time,

maybe we’ll get rid of him forever.

Or if he turns over a new leaf,

I’ll certainly

give him a good job.

Right.

Madam,

are you still mad?

Given that man’s father

saved Master’s life,

the Li Family owes him.

We can’t make light of this matter.

Master values his name most.

Liu Guirong can say whatever he wants.

If he goes out and blabbers,

others might call us the bully.

That’s what I’m worried about.

Master is deeply troubled about it

and so am I.

If he were any less lazy and annoying,

I’d give him a helping hand.

But he certainly doesn’t deserve it.

What to do?

Madam, is he craving a wife?

He keeps complaining about being single, right?

Once he gets married,

settles down, and has his own family,

that’ll probably give him hope.

If everything else fails,

we can set him up

with a maid.

We don’t have any but we can ask others.

Then he’ll go away.

You have a point.

There’s no harm

in trying it, I guess.

Let’s give it a shot.

It’s sad that you are still single

at this age.

That’s right.

Madam,

you touched a soft spot.

You don’t know what I’ve been through.

The matchmaker once introduced a girl to me,

but she ran away

because I was down and out.

I have an idea.

I’ll find you

a maid at your age.

Once you two are together,

you can do business

or go in for farming.

You’ll have a family.

That’d be great.

Choose and Follow What is Right Thank you in advance, Madam.

Li’s Mansion

Night watchman?

That’s your job for me?

Guirong, here’s the thing.

You came all of a sudden

when all the posts

had been taken

other than the night watchman.

That’s pure legwork.

An old geezer can do that.

Guirong,

you’re wrong.

A night watchman

must be young and strong.

Think about it.

You need to patrol and tell time.

Without you,

people would be lost in time.

Your job is crucial.

It’s more important than you thought.

Guirong, that post is only temporary

before you’re transferred

to a better one,

you know?

Fine. I’ll give it a go.

But if it’s long hours and low paid,

I’m out.

All is safe!

I need to get some rest.

Hey.

What do you want?

Miss Qingke,

don’t I look good

in this uniform?

We make a perfect match, don’t we?

Trust me.

Even if I’m on the rise,

I won’t dump you.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Do you even know who you are?

Go away!

I don’t know what to do.

How dare he!

Relax. I’m here for you.

I know.

Look,

try to stay away from him

and ignore him.

That’s what I’ve been doing!

But he’s brazen enough

to harass me.

Then stay with me

for the next couple of days.

I’ll find a way to kick him

out of this mansion forever.

Thanks.

There, there.

Virtue Brings Real Aroma

He’s way crossed the line!

What’s gotten into him?

It’s better

that he moves out.

Having a stranger at home

is inconvenient.

I know.

I’ll handle it.

I’ll talk to Father first thing tomorrow

to find him a place outside.

Don’t worry too much.

Despite

his frivolous talk,

he wouldn’t dare to do anything.

You don’t know that.

Your ethics don’t apply to him.

He’s a boor.

Let him out as soon as possible.

I will.

Also, I heard

that he always leaves early

and he was late for work last night,

doing heaven knows what.

Li’s Mansion

Liu Guirong,

your behavior is unacceptable!

Do you know what happened

when you were absent from work last night?

Mr. Li’s warehouse got robbed!

What a coincidence

that it happened during my absence!

What about guards on the night shift?

They needed to hear from you, too!

Guirong,

you’ll be fired

after what happened last night.

Can’t wait for it.

I’m sick of staying up outside all night

while you sleep soundly at home.

You know what?

Forget about the job.

Give me money

and Miss Qingke instead.

What?

In your dreams!

Qingke is my maid. No one can touch her!

Madam He has promised me!

I...

She pities me

and intends to set me up with a maid.

I don’t need others.

Miss Qingke is good enough.

If you give me what I want,

I’ll be on my way.

If you don’t,

I’ll never leave!

I didn’t promise you any money

or the maid.

Whoever you like is your business.

Stop making a scene!

You can’t force anyone to marry you!

I don’t care!

Madam He has made a promise.

Does that mean nothing?

No one’s promise does!

Miss Qingke is Baoning’s maid.

No one can decide her marriage

other than Her Grace.

Let’s go.

Hey!

Uh...

Baoning.

Virtue Brings Real Aroma

Hey,

taste the new dessert

and see if you like it.

It’s sweet!

Just one bite, please!

Don’t be mad.

Your health matters most.

Hadn’t you been relatively fair,

I’d be even madder!

What was Mother thinking?

How could she give in to such an unreasonable demand?

She was misled.

She wasn’t thinking too much

and got used by him.

I can’t believe

a lowly thug like him

would dream so high.

He’s indeed pathetic and disgusting.

Where was he in the middle of the night

when he didn’t show up for work?

He could be at so many places.

Who knows what he was doing?

Hey,

have some tea to appease yourself.

Take a look.

Not good enough.

I’ll wrap it up for you.

This one.

Thanks.

I like this one.

Stop looking at that one.

Sure.

Come on.

Let’s go.

This one is cute.

That one looks special.

A meat bun, please.

Sure. Here you are.

Let’s go.

Here you are.

Thanks. Good day.

Dongdong and I staked out that house until dark.

That’s where he lives.

Are you sure?

And there’s a woman inside.

My guess is

that she’s Liu Guirong’s wife.

We must get to the bottom of those two

no matter what it takes.

Have someone look into that woman

and see if they’re married.

If they are,

don’t spook anyone.

We better wait

until Liu Guirong lowers his guard

and leaves a trail.

I see.

I’ll have them go there tomorrow.

Li’s Mansion

Guirong.

Hi, Qian.

I’m still waiting.

When are you going to

carry out Madam He’s promise?

I know.

Be patient, though.

Getting married is no small matter.

A lot of preparations must be done.

Miss Qingke

is Her Grace’s maid.

She isn’t like anyone.

But I promise

I’ll do anything to help you two together.

Before that,

please do me a favor

and sign this paper.

Sign what?

Show him.

What’s this?

It’s your profile

including your name and place of birth

for you to verify.

Read it to me. I can’t read or write

other than my own name.

Sure. No problem.

My name is Liu Guirong.

Yes.

I’m from Tiandi Village.

My parents have both died.

I own half an acre of farmland

and a tile-roofed house with three rooms.

I’m still single.

What’s written above is all true.

All correct.

Put your name on it then.

Sure. No problem.

Here, take a look.

Good. I’ll take care of the rest.

Thanks.

Letter of Divorce Mudan failed as my wife...

Hence this Letter of Divorce. Liu Guirong

You’re good!

A fake Letter of Divorce!

If his wife finds out

he’s divorcing her,

she’ll definitely make a scene.

His wife can catch him in the act

tomorrow!

Li’s Mansion

Where’s Miss Qingke?

I’m not seeing her.

She’ll come in a minute. Be patient.

Of course.

We’ll become a family soon.

She can take her time.

It’s right there after the turn.

Right ahead of us.

Mudan!

Mudan!

I mean, what’s done is done.

You can talk to Guirong nicely.

Why bother? I’ll kill him!

How dare you, Liu Guirong!

Hey,

what do you have

to support Qingke once you’re married?

That’s not your concern.

Once she’s my wife,

I’ll treat her well.

I’ll only love her.

Then... what about your wife at home?

You have a wife?

- That’s not true! - What’s going on?

Stop lying!

I’m single.

Liar!

How dare you cheat on me!

No, wait...

I can explain...

You cheating bastard!

I’m telling you,

you can’t get rid of me! Not a chance!

No...

Move!

Easy!

He’s gone. You can stop worrying.

Your Grace!

I said you’d be fine. See?

Your Grace,

I could never repay you for your kindness.

Then you’ll have to marry me.

No! No!

Qingke!

Qingke, come back!

Guirong, are you alright?

Guirong,

we’re sorry

that you lost your father too young,

but my father hates to see you go astray.

This is the last time

we give you money.

- Take it. - You...

Go home with your wife

and take good care of your land.

You’ll live well.

But if you attempt to harass our family again,

we won’t let it slide.

Qian,

thank you so much.

I won’t do it again.

Thank you, Qian,

and Master.

I’ll leave in a few days.

Alright. Just...

- Get up. - Liu Guirong!

Where are you? Come here now!

Yes, yes, I’m here! Coming!

- Coming, coming! - Come in!

Do I have to beat you up again?

Where were you?

Please stop!

What were you doing?

- I’m sorry! - What now?

Have you learned your lesson?

- In the autumn - Father!

of the 3rd Year of Zhending Reign, the nonstop heavy rain

- leads to the flooding of the Yellow River. - Father!

28 towns, 4 counties and 3 provinces are damaged.

- 140,000 hectares of land are soaked - Father!

in water that could go 10 meters deep.

More than 50,000 offices and houses are destroyed.

Bingzhou City Thousands of people have drowned.

Tons of civilians are struggling.

However, a flood is like a war.

Many will suffer. I urge you

to take action quickly.

My respects to you, Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

People are homeless and destitute because of the flood.

Coordinate with the Ministry of Revenue on disaster relief soon.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The flood is severe

and the affected area is huge.

Even if we give it our all,

it’ll take a considerable amount of time

to restore everyone’s livelihood.

I see. I understand.

Do your best.

Yes.

This is as clear as water.

We need more rice!

Yes!

- At this point, - That’s right!

you should be grateful

that you can still

have congee.

You know,

many don’t even have this.

But

where are the buns?

Yes! We need buns!

- Starting today, - Yes. We have drinks,

- there won’t be a bun for each - but no food.

at lunch.

- What? - No bun?

We can deal with thin congee,

but we need buns!

- Yes! - We can’t battle

on an empty stomach!

- That’s right! - We’re in the same army.

How come Huben Battalion has rice and meat every day

while we, Xuanjia Battalion, barely have anything to eat?

We’re risking our lives for the state!

Yes!

- Silence! Silence! - Without enough food,

- how could we serve the state? - Enough!

Be quiet!

This isn’t my order.

You’re yelling at the wrong person.

We demand an explanation,

or we’ll make you pay!

Yes! Right!

We demand an explanation!

You’re fighting back?

Beat them!

Beat them up!

Go away!

What are you doing, Li Qian?

You tell me!

Xuanjia and Cooking Battalions were fighting outside.

You don’t know that?

How dare they!

Our camp isn’t an arena!

Aren’t you going to ask

why they fought?

Members of Xuanjia Battalion

all rose from bandits.

They’re unruly and undisciplined.

I’m not surprised that they fought.

Zhao Xiao, you’re Quartermaster!

It’s your job and responsibility

to take care of their food and clothes.

Right now,

food served to Xuanjia Battalion

has been cut to less than half.

What do you have to say about that?

Flooding of the Yellow River affected tons of people.

The influx of the homeless

has stretched local resources to the limit.

You should know that.

Be that as it may,

we don’t even have enough food

for our men?

Go out there and see for yourself.

The winter is coming

and they’re still in light clothing.

Without enough food and warm clothes,

how could our men

fight against enemies?

Zhao Xiao,

don’t forget

you’ve made a promise!

I have an idea

to earn more

with what we have.

Will it work?

Of course.

We’ve been doing that all these years.

Or

how did the entire army

live on insufficient funds for so long?

I see.

I’m entrusting it to you.

If anything goes wrong,

you’ll be held accountable.

You can count on me, Young Master.

I’m trying to solve

the lack of provisions and supplies.

Give me a few more days.

I assure you

that I’ll fix it.

Before that, Xuanjia Battalion

will have to bear with the situation for now.

Once more supplies arrive,

I’ll make it up to them.

Is that so?

Has Commander Li

said nothing to you, Your Grace?

He’s been busy in the army.

I’ve only seen him a few times

over the last month

and I’ve only heard good news from him.

He seldom talks to me about work.

He’s too thoughtful

to trouble you

with any of that mess outside.

Tell me everything you know.

What’s going on?

Right now,

victims of the flooding of the Yellow River are everywhere.

The court has provided disaster relief funds

but there are simply too many of them.

They’re all homeless.

Even our soldiers

don’t have enough food

or warm clothes.

Haven’t those in charge

tried to do anything about that?

They’re struggling themselves.

Don’t expect them

to give others a hand.

Tension is growing among civilians and soldiers.

I’m afraid

Jinxi will no longer be in peace.

Commandery Prince.

Is that some treasure you’re hiding?

No.

It’s nothing valuable.

Have a seat.

I’ll have Qingke prepare hot water.

Sit with me.

No need to trouble her.

I’m occupied with work

and I’m back to check on you at break time.

I can only stay for 15 minutes.

Then you’ll have to leave?

I’m afraid so.

I won’t be able to see you for a while,

so I’m back when I still can.

Baoning, the homeless

have been flooding into the city.

It’s not safe outside.

Don’t go out

unless you have to, understand?

Yes.

You’re finally back.

Do you have anything to tell me?

There’s something important.

I’m listening.

What is it?

I miss you.

You must be joking!

I’m not!

I mean every word I said!

I miss you, too.

This is for you.

What’s the banknote for?

With poor crops in the flooded area,

our soldiers lack food to eat.

That’s not good for their morale.

Here are 5,000 taels of silver

to help them.

I can’t take your money.

Is your pride more important than their lives?

Baoning, it’s about principles,

not pride.

Ever since we got married,

they’ve had eyes

on our family.

It’s kind of you to offer your money

to help our soldiers,

but the evil-minded

won’t think so

and they’ll use it against us.

Once Grand Empress Dowager and His Majesty

get word of me using your dowries

and people start talking,

things will go out of control.

Besides,

you should have more faith in me.

If I got stopped by such a hiccup,

how would I keep a foothold in the army?

Did you make this for me?

You...

I like this handmade sachet

more than 5,000 taels of silver.

Thank you, darling.

It’s about time.

I have to go.

You’ll miss me, right?

Hey...

Here you are.

Take this.

Line up.

This is yours.

Here you are.

- Thank you. - Take this.

How kind!

Eat it while it’s hot.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

- Son! Son! - Take it slow.

Son!

Is he choked?

Are you alright, son?

Son, can you hear me? Son!

Spit it out!

He’s fine.

Thank you so much for the food.

You’re welcome.

It’s all Commandant Li of Bingzhou’s doing.

It pains him to see you suffer,

so he’s doing everything he can...

Commandant Li!

To help you pull through this disaster.

He’s a saint!

Commandant Li puts people first.

Heaven will bless him.

Indeed. Of course.

Thank you, Commandant Li! Thanks!

It’s nothing.

Let’s go back to work.

What a great man!

Thank you.

He’s so kind!

Thank you. Thanks a lot.

I greatly admire

your efforts to help those in need.

It’s the right thing to do

and Commandant Li gets all the credit.

Those getting free food from you

will certainly speak highly of him.

That doesn’t matter.

What matters is to save more lives.

Your Grace,

have you considered setting up shelters?

Shelters?

I’m all ears.

The Yellow River flooded

countless people’s homes, causing the influx of victims everywhere.

It’s impractical for the court

to help every one of them.

If you’re thinking

to put a roof over their heads,

I suggest you set up shelters

in Commandant Li’s name

and raise money for charity.

That way,

the homeless can settle down.

In the meantime,

merchants and landowners in Jinxi

will donate money actively

to look good.

We can

provide those in the shelter

with easy jobs

so that they can

support themselves.

For starters,

I’ll donate 10,000 taels of silver.

This is the silk for the gown you’re wearing on your birthday.

All that is the finest

from all over the state,

together with gifts and imports

from foreign lands.

Everything you need is here.

These are matching accessories,

including crowns, hairpins, necklaces,

bracelets, earrings, pendants

made of gold, silver, jade and all kinds of gems.

Here’s the menu for your birthday banquet.

Read it to Her Highness.

Yes.

Shredded fish with fish balls,

roast goose slices, stir-fried scallops,

lotus seeds...

Enough.

They’re all good.

You may leave.

Not you.

These are designs of your makeup

by experts in and outside the palace.

They’re of various styles.

Keep this

and this one.

Aren’t you going to go through them all?

If there’s anything you don’t like,

we can still find replacements.

Use your brain!

All of them are the best of the best.

Which one I pick doesn’t matter.

What matters is

that I can go

and discuss every item with Yi.

I didn’t think of that.

You’re thorough, Your Highness.

But, Your Highness,

asking His Majesty to choose your makeup

is a bit...

A bit what?

Inappropriate? Ridiculous? Is that what you think?

I don’t need a dedicated emperor,

but a caring husband.

Besides, girls doll themselves up for men they love.

I’ll put on

whatever makeup Yi likes.

Speaking of him,

he must be working at Qinzheng Hall at this hour.

Come on, Baihe.

Let’s bring everything

to see him there.

Yes.

Qinzheng Hall

Your Highness, His Majesty isn’t inside.

I’m here for my birthday celebration.

It’s not against His Majesty’s rule.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

His Majesty isn’t here.

Hey,

where’s His Majesty?

Your Highness,

His Majesty went out with Eunuch Du.

I don’t know where he is.

Your Highness,

we can go back

and come again later.

No!

Find him for me!

Your Majesty,

why are you doing this to yourself?

You shouldn’t be working here.

It’s windy.

You might catch a cold.

I have no choice

but to take shelter here

because Han Tongxin

must be waiting for me at Qinzheng Hall as we speak.

Funing Hall isn’t safe either.

Only this place

is quiet.

I doubt she’ll come here.

Still, this is unnecessary.

“Unnecessary”?

Do you remember what she did last year?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Do I look pretty like this?

What about this one?

Not good?

What about this one?

Look at it.

That’s fine. There are two more.

Your Majesty, do you like this one?

As Her Highness’s birthday is coming,

she’s... a bit...

Only a bit?

It’s a lot more than that!

She’s clingy enough most of the time,

and this whole birthday thing

kicks it up a notch

that she’s totally unbearable!

You think I can’t do anything

to her?

You’re right. I can’t.

Never mind.

Your Majesty.

Beautiful and Elegant Who is it

Beautiful and Elegant that even you can’t do anything to?

No one. It’s about the court.

Your Majesty,

it’s chilly out here.

If you don’t mind,

we can go back to my chamber.

No need. I’m fine.

Your Majesty, my birthday makeup

has come down to these two designs.

Which one do you think is better?

They’re both good.

This one has arched eyebrows

while these eyebrows are distant.

This lip is like a butterfly

while this a petal.

Aren’t they the same?

Which one is prettier?

I like this one.

I like

whatever you choose.

Baihe, put this design away.

According to the one you choose,

the petal on my forehead

should go lower.

Why don’t you try it on me?

There’s no petal here.

Beautiful and Elegant

I’ve prepared one for you.

Beautiful and Elegant

Your Majesty, Mr. Wang says you’re needed for disaster relief immediately.

He’s waiting at Qinzheng Hall.

Let’s go!

Go back to Qinzheng Hall!

Baihe,

how do I look?

What are you doing?

Your Highness, the petal is way off-center.

Others will laugh at you if they see it.

It’s off?

Yes.

I’m going to

tour around the garden

with it

and others

will envy me.
