All language subtitles for The Song of Glory Episode 8

The Lang Ya clan has distanced themselves from Imperial Court affairs.

But they are a principal clan among the nobles.

They are the foremost clan of the nobility

and clan relatives of your grandfather.

They are a match level with you.

Their Young Miss Wang has just fulfilled the mourning period for her grandmother

and has come back to Jiankang City along with her father.

It means nothing formal if you greet her.

I am so consumed by court affairs and I really have no mindset left to be spent on personal matters.

I hope you will understand Mother Consort.

- Xuan'er, please look at these—
- M-Mother Consort.

I really don't want to choose a consort.

You don't want to choose one?

Do you already have someone in mind?

That's right. I already have one.

Which lady is it?

Xuan'er, do you have other reasons?

She is not as inclined toward me so it's better left unmentioned.

"My Lord rises upward from dust.

While I stay in muddy water.

Swimming or sinking we separately remain.

When will we be one again?"
[The Song of Glory]

When it comes to love affairs... no one can control it.
[Episode 8]

Then it's akin to what you just said. It cannot be forced.

All right, don't force me anymore.

I will take my leave.

Xuan'er!

Why don't you understand my intentions?

I heard this lady from the Wang family

is versed in literature and other teachings, with a generous and kind demeanor.

If His Highness gets to see her then he might change his mind.

Grand Consort Dowager, don't be too impatient.

Is today the 15th day?

Are Prince Peng Cheng and Princess Consort together?

I heard tonight, at Jiaohua Pavilion,

there's only dinner-for-one prepared.

Let's go. Things that should be done

need to be done.

What are you looking at?

You've got some skills.

Old Man, who on earth are you?

I am... Fourth Brother.

If you're not telling me then forget it.

- What are you doing?
- Looking for things.

What are you looking for?

Something to open the lock. Are you going to wait for your death?

If it wasn't for this male disguise, I'd have a hairpin.

- Then earlier I could've—
- Hairpin?

I have one.

You're a man. Why would you have a hairpin?

Isn't this my hairpin?

Why are you carrying my hairpin around with you?

- I was afraid that one day you'd look for me—
- Hurry and give it to me.

Here.

Lend a hand.

This hairpin even has a mechanism inside.

Who let—

Thank you for returning it back to its owner.

What do you mean returning it back to its owner? Give that back to me. That is my hairpin.

You want your hairpin? Then you can.

Just exchange my jade pendant for it.

Who would carry your jade pendant around?

You're bleeding.

Can you stop being so rough?

Are you crazy?

I thought you were going to kill him.

He's not a bad person. Why would I kill him?

What are you looking at? Let's hurry up and leave.

- Stop right there!
- Over there!

Stop running!

Stop right there! Stop running!

Hurry up and run.

What are you doing?

Quit the nonsense. We're coming back here again next time.

- Young Master, are you all right?
- I'm fine.

Stop right there!

- These people are?
- Stop right there!

They share our vision. Do not harm them.

- Stop right there!
- Yes.

Let's go.

Let's go.

How come His Highness still isn't back?

My legs are numb.

The water is here.

Drink some water.

How come there still isn't any news?

I will go outside and take a look.

Don't move. Your pose

is most like His Highness's.

He clearly knows today is the 15th day but he insisted on going out.

What am I going to do?

Your Highness, I've followed you since I was young.

We've watched each other grow up.

How can you treat me like this?

My waist!

Is His Highness back?

Princess Consort is here.

What are you looking at?

It will be troublesome if Grand Consort Dowager comes in.

Hurry and change your clothes, then come over to help.

Yes.

- Give it back to me.
- Exchange the jade pendant for it.

Who would carry your jade pendant around?

Give it back to me.

Using the hairpin to unlock the lock.

You've sure got some tricks when it comes to taking.

Who's taking what?

I'm telling you. If you keep spouting nonsense then be careful that I don't rip your mouth.

You're such a lady.

- Why are you so rough—
- Say that again!

I'm saying that since you're so rough—

What do you want to do?

I'm not a casual person.

- It's fake.
- Give that to me.

So you've got some shady tricks, too.

Tell me.

Who are you? Why are you in disguise?

I am a merchant. I had to go up against Lu Yuan, so, of course, I had to disguise myself.

Is that true?

You don't trust me? Then do you also not trust that there are those who share your convictions in this world?

Earlier, the craftsmen at the foundry

were bare-boned and dark in complexion.

I don't know what shady business this foundry is involved in.

If Lu Yuan doesn't die, then we don't know how many other people will.

Do you understand a wolf pack?

Every wolf pack has an alpha.

The pack only listens to the alpha's orders.

In migrating, in hunting, and in propagating.

Do you know what happens to the wolf pack when the alpha dies?

The wolf pack will still exist.

It's just that a new alpha rose up.

Lu Yuan is the alpha of this wolf pack.

By killing him, the wolf pack will just bite

and the world will be chaotic, but there won't be any change.

The nobles will continue to bully the humbler backgrounds.

The people will still roam homelessly.

Even the foundry will see no change.

The only change will be a new alpha.

Then, are we just going to sit and not do anything?

Just watch Lu Yuan continue his evil rampages, disregarding lives?

Of course not.

Peace in the land can only be achieved through laws and that is not something we can achieve overnight.

It can't be obtained just by killing the alpha either.

That's why you reported Lu's weapon corruption to the officer.

Only by making his evils known to the public,

can we treat them to the full punishment of the law and prevent it in the future.

Treatment of law and its punishment?

The emperor is sickly and that Prince Peng Cheng, who should die, indulges the powerful nobles in disregarding the law.

With a cunning and sly man like him in charge, how can any law and punishment be carried out?

On the matter of the weapons storage, Lu Yuan got away with it anyway.

With him suffering just a minor loss of power.

About that Prince Peng Cheng who should die. Although he is lawless,

the world is bright and justice lives in the hearts of the people.

If the evidence is confirmed then the truth won't be covered up that easily.

All right.

Let us find that evidence with all effort and run Lu Yuan through the law.

Us?

The ink you make is so fragrant and so strong when you grind it.

Strong as jade but silent when ground.

A drop of paint to hold ten thousand truths.

Princess Consort, each time an auspicious marital night is set,

His Highness is either called away by his illness or he's absent.

Tonight, he even had General Cao pretend to be him.

His Highness had General Cao dressed as him

because he didn't want others to know that he had left the manor.

So see, he's not avoiding me.

His Highness has his own reasons for doing things.

I am his princess consort and my duty is to obey and protect his wishes.

I fear His Highness went out to seek entertainment and leisure again, forgetting about today.

When did you have the right to talk about His Highness and my issues?

You are to kneel outside the Jiaohua Pavilion tonight.

I am at fault.

Greetings, Grand Consort Dowager.

- Greetings, Mother Consort.
- Greetings, Grand Consort Dowager.

Indeed you are the daughter of a noble aristocrat.

Calm like standing water.

Tonight is the marital night for you and the prince.

But he's not present

and you're painting here with ease?

Aren't you concerned about where His Highness is?

Mother Consort, His Highness was just painting with me in the study room for awhile.

I believe he only went out for a stroll after feeling stuffy.

Enough.

The words that I've been telling you all these years,

you haven't listened to any of them.

Once you entered his imperial manor, you had responsibilities.

First, as Princess Consort, you should not indulge the prince

or let him fool around.

Second, without any offspring, you have no hope for the future.

This is your lack of virtue.

Say it. Where did His Highness go?

Please ease your anger, Mother Consort. I was wrong.

The princess consort is without virtue. She ought to self-reflect solemnly.

- Chun Fang.
- Yes.

Your Highness!

Mother Consort?

Why is Princess Consort kneeling here?

Tonight is the night of the 15th day.

You do not wish to stay in this chamber?

Princess Consort has failed to persuade you.

That is a lack of virtue so I am teaching her.

Mother Consort, you misunderstood.

I know Princess Consort is talented with the brush,

so I begged her to paint a river scene.

Princess Consort, it's been tough on you.

Kang'er, your neck—

I heard that your illness started acting up again.

I also heard loquat leaves that are grown under a night's dew make good tonics.

So I went to Xiulin Garden to gather loquat leaves for you.

Perhaps, I accidentally scratched it.

San Bao.

Your Highness, you're so thoughtful.

Good. I am at ease then.

Princess Consort, keep Kang'er company.

I will take my leave then.

I'll leave as well then.

Where is my bracelet?

[Lu]

Who was that bold?

Fortunately the thugs only attacked the minor courtyard outside of the foundry. The various secret passages are still intact.

The storage and the foundry itself were not discovered.

It's just that craftsmen are trouble nevertheless.

As for the Fish Pulse Sword for Prince Jiang Dong...

The Fish Pulse Sword was stolen by bandits?

Son, what will we do now?

If the birthday gift is delivered a day late, not only do we lose our investment,

we will offend Prince Jiang Dong, too, Son!

Son, your injuries...

Father, losing out on some money is nothing.

Is the Lu family lacking for this money?

Son, how are we not lacking for this money?

You have armies to cultivate, weapons to make, and keep up with the various princes. All that takes money.

Son, that Fish Pulse Sword, you must get it back for me.

Yes.

I will get it back again for you.

Did you find out the identity of the bandits?

It was Huo Yun.

What? That runaway soldier again?

Last time, he stole a

gift that was meant for Prince Chang Sha.

Where's your Black Armored Brigade?

Son, you can't be soft-hearted this time.

Fine.

Then my Fish Pulse Sword?

I will definitely get it back for you.

Th-Then I'll get going.

How much longer does that batch of black iron need in forging?

At least twenty days.

This won't do. You have to make it faster.

I only give you ten days. You go and kidnap more people from the village if you're lacking enough laborers.

Also, demolish the original secret passages.

No one must discover the foundry.

As for Huo Yun and those other people...

you can't let any of them live.

I understand.

All the petition records from the previous dynasty are here?

Any army intelligence or military-related matters

after going through the Records Bureau, they are secured here.

If there's nothing here then there won't be anything elsewhere.

Rituals.

Water utilities.

Government affairs.

Where is the weapon arsenal?

Go find the weapon arsenal.

Yes.

I found it.

Your Highness, be careful.

Indeed.

I didn't remember it wrong. It was indeed him.

Lu Yuan dares to...

Your Highness, what's wrong?

When Emperor Gaozu was still a general, a celestial rock fell from the sky on Qianzhou.

At that time, there was a craftsman by Emperor Gaozu's side.

He ground the celestial rock into powder and soaked it in water.

From that the hundred-times refined steel was made.

A blade made from the hundred-times refined steel,

there is nothing it can't pierce or a battle that it can't win.

It is also called Black Steel.

Nothing it can't pierce?

Why didn't this method of refining steel get widely used?

Because that craftsman later died.

Was he killed?

No.

Anyone who touched the celestial rock or the water that soaked the rock...

they all died.

Then the workers in the foundry?

Qing'er.

Mother, I know I am at fault.

I won't dare anymore, Mother.

Qing'er.

Qing'er,

even though you're not my biological daughter,

ever since you were young,

the way I taught you and your two brothers were never any different.

What the Shen family regards most importantly is patriotism, righteousness, filial piety, and sibling harmony.

But what about you?

You committed a big mistake.

I haven't come to visit you recently

so I hope you can reflect on it.

Do you know that you're wrong now?

I know that I am at fault. I really know that I am at fault.

Mother.

It's good that you know that you were wrong.

Mother, then can I

go out?

Yes.

Qing'er,

your Father and I chose a marriage for you.

It's the Luo family of Tong City.

Even though they're not a big family,

they are an upstanding traditional family.

They are also related to your maternal clan.

If you go to be married there,

they won't treat you badly.

Mother, are you chasing me away?

Mother,

do you really not want me anymore?

Qing'er,

a tree grows in the forest.

Whether it grows well or not, it all depends on the soil.

Your temperament

must go through its own self-cultivation.

The wind and rain in Jiankang City do not suit you.

I understand.

You and Father are thinking on my behalf.

Yes... I will get married.

Where did I leave my bracelet?

Hurry up! Hurry up!

- Brother Huo Yun.
- Hurry.

We don't have any more time. We've been exposed. We have to leave here immediately.

- Hurry and retreat.
- Okay.

You few, hurry!

Lu Yuan's private Black Armored Brigade.

- Who are you?
- Take the craftsmen and leave!

Hurry and leave.

Hurry and leave.

This sword is really sharp.

Hurry and leave!

Endure it. It's almost over.

- Endure it.
- Be careful.

Please stay. Thank you, Heroine.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Drink some water.

Here.

Thank you.

But you are the servant of Lu Manor's steward.

Just like you, we are also investigating the foundry.

That day, we used a fake badge to check out the place.

But out of nowhere, we ran into you and your raiders.

So that was the case.

Thank you for your help today.

No need to thank me.

You did it to protect innocent people.

Oh right!

You said you used to be in the Black Armored Brigade. Why did you become a bandit?

We used to be soldiers

and aspired to sacrifice ourselves for the country and achieve merits.

But the world is dominated by evil now.

The Black Armored Brigade

are not the same iron-blooded soldiers that

served Emperor Gaozu back in the day.

Instead, it's become the eagle claws that serve the Lu house to carry out their plundering of the people.

I don't want to serve that man.

With no other choice, I could only become a mountain bandit.

You are a righteous person. I admire you.

Young Miss, you are praising me too highly.

I'm incapable. I can only use my best abilities to save them.

In the foundry, there are still many people whose lives are at risk anytime.

It just that I couldn't find the entrance.

Young Miss, since we're the same,

can you please help us to save those people's lives?

I will try my best.

Thank you, Young Miss.

It's you again.

Eldest Miss Shen, you really want to kill me, don't you?

You've even found the foundry.

Let me see how tough your life will become.

This time...

let's see who can save you.

Think of a way to get close inside the Shen family.

Yes.

Captain, please don't resent me

or put me in a hard position.

- Is this not enough?
- No.

It's enough.

Captain, it's not that I don't want to help you.

Last time, over the incident of trying to kill the Eldest Miss Shen, everyone in the Shen family

hated me so much. My niece is now going to be married far away to Tong City.

- I have no way to get inside the Shen manor.
- Oh.

You can't get in, huh?

Perhaps... Perhaps my niece can help me.

Are you talking about the Second Young Miss of the Shen family?

Yes.

Feng'er! Put down your sword!

Put it down!

Do you know that Sister Zijin has already been summoned by Consort Dowager Sun?

- I know.
- You knew?

Yet you made no move?

I told you before to go beg Father and Mother to bestow marriage on Sister Zijin.

If we had arranged the marriage, then why would Consort Dowager Sun place her eyes on her?

If you are so fond of her, how can you stay completely silent?

If you dare to have her devotion be in vain to you,

I will be the first one to not spare you.

That day when Sister Zijin came to the manor,

I saw you waiting for her.

Since you like her, then why don't you ask Sister Zijin for her thoughts?

She is a nobleman's daughter and I am a common humble general.

Since the old times, a noble never marries a commoner.

But I'm about to get married into Prince Peng Cheng's manor.

The barrier between nobility and commoner will soon be broken.

And because of that, the Shen household cannot add more oil to the fire.

But...

have you asked your heart? Does it agree?

What does it think?

No one knows where love and affection surface from.

If you like her then don't give up.

Then what about you? Do you like Prince Peng Cheng?

My situation is already set. But yours isn't.

If you love, do not falter and miss it.

Greetings, Grand Consort Dowager.

You are indeed from the noble Lang Ya clan and carry yourselves with full decorum.

Hurry and have a seat.

Thank you, Grand Consort Dowager.

Adjutant Ji says Prince Jing Ling isn't feeling well today,

and he's already at rest. I'm afraid that he won't be coming today.

Come forward and let me look at you.

Quite a nice appearance and disposition.

What is your name?

Replying to Grand Consort Dowager, I am Zijin.

Zijin?
(T/N: robe collar )

"Lad with blue robe collar, swaying my heart..."
( T/N: A classic poem from the Book of Songs)

Quite an extraordinary name.

Lord Wang's daughter with such a nice appearance and disposition.

Quite a stand out among the aristocratic ladies.

A rarity indeed.

Your Highness is over-praising her.

Have you been in any marital discussions?

My daughter is feeble and although she's 21, she is not yet engaged.

It is a pity.

It's not a pity. My father has taught me since I was little, to place filial piety as the foremost virtue.

I am not married as of yet, all due to filial piety and that is no pity.

Why?

Five years ago, Father

made a betrothal for me to the Liu Clan heir of Hedong.

But the Liu Clan heir's mother suddenly passed away.

In order to observe the three-year mourning period, the betrothal was delayed.

But only after a year into the mourning period, the Liu Clan heir came to propose marriage again.

My father deemed this man as someone who does not comprehend filial piety

and not qualified to be his son-in-law, so he rejected the betrothal immediately.

Later, my father wanted a betrothal with Cui Clan for me.

Just when he was about to propose it, the Cui mother suddenly passed away, too.

So that was another three-year mourning period.

Do you know, just how many mistresses that Cui heir got for himself in those three years?

I got so angry that I rejected marriage again.

And now, even though I am already 21

and referred to by other nobles as a wallflower who can't marry;

however, I think that either I don't marry at all

or I should marry a man who is also devoted to filial piety.

Grand Consort Dowager.

What do you think?

Filial piety is indeed the way.

I'm just hoping that if I have another marriage,

no one dies again or I have another three years of mourning to face.

Bring it up here.

I hear the Imperial Clay House has a red potion that is especially good.

For soothing the skin.

Today, I'm giving it to you.

Thank you, Grand Consort Dowager.

I've seen this before.

I met an immortal on Mount Lang Ya before.
(Immortal - being already ascended to Immortality through cultivation practices.)

She told me once upon a time, an artisan

used the best Gallstone and Water flying technique

along with thousands of nurturing and hundreds of cultivations to make this red potion.

And this immortal was so touched by the artisan

that they were together forever for eternity.

I envied them when I heard it.

Wh-What is she talking about?

May you forgive her. It's my fault in lacking a stricter teaching manner.

Usually, I am overly fond of brewing wine.

So my daughter is very fond of good wine also.

I am embarrassed.

She's also like this at home?

She drinks a lot and gets drunk a lot.

Did you find them yet?

They're about to arrive.

What's the update on the batch of black steel?

We need a few more days.

We can't keep that foundry on Mount Xixia anymore.

After the last batch of black steel is complete,

all the laborers including the supervisors...

- I understand.
- Kill him.

We still don't know where the craftsmen are located.

Even if we kill him, the craftsmen will still die.

Let's make a plan.

All right.

You are daring indeed, Second Miss Shen.

But who are you though?

If I can serve you, that would be my honor.

Moreover, we have the same enemy.

How can I trust someone from the Shen family?

I lost my family back then and I was moved into another.

It was all thanks to Shen Tingzhang.

What happened today was all created by the Shen family.

I have to get back everything that belongs to me. So as long as you give the order,

I will do it.

Is that so?

This bracelet has been tempered with a strong poison.

Wait a second.

It will make the wearer die.

As long as I can get what I want,

I'm not afraid of doing anything.

This is the lotus soup that I personally made for you.

Try it while it's warm.

Here.

How is it? Does it taste good?

Lotus seeds without seeds removed have a bitter taste at first.

But this after taste is sweet.

Here. Have another sip.

Lige,

did you lose anything over these past few days?

My bracelet! Why is it with you, Mother? I thought...

You thought that you lost it?

But Mother, where did you find it?

This... I found it in the courtyard.

You child.

You seem composed.

Who would've known that you're just like Feng'er.

Leaving a trail of things behind, too.
