[New Life Begins]
[Adapted from the novel "Journey to the Qing Dynasty" by Duomu Muduo]
[Episode 11]
You'll meet someone nicer in the future.
No, I won't.
What the people think
is not what I like.
Then,
do you mean...
Yes.
I like you.
Don't be nervous.
I respect your decision.
I know what you're worried about.
I'll send you home safe and sound.
You even wanted to send me home
before I said a word.
Well, I mean
I haven't made up my mind yet.
Give me some time.
I'll tell you once I come to a conclusion.
Sure.
Take your time.
I don't mind if you take a longer time.
I realize that Baifu enjoys the sunlight very much.
Here in Xin State, it's warm in winter and cool in summer.
And it's sunny most of the days this year,
which gives it a good chance to stay indoors.
I didn't know Xin State didn't snow much just like Ji State.
I thought I could see snow here.
I didn't mean that I would stay.
Your lanterns are big.
They don't match well with the lanterns here.
Big lanterns are beautiful.
Gosh, she even wanted to outdo us while hanging the festive lanterns.
Don't mind them.
Let's go.
Are you going to supervise the construction of the new mansion again?
I want to tag along.
I want to make sure that you can't usurp fine things for yourself
by abusing your power.
Are you in your right mind, Miss Song?
Today is the New Year's Eve.
I have to go to the palace tonight.
Oh, right.
I will have more red packets than you, then.
Fine, you'll have more.
Miss Song.
You claimed that you like Sixth Young Lord.
However, you pay more attention to Madam instead of him.
She's got a point.
Don't tell me you've fallen for me.
Says who?
I like Zheng.
Bite me.
Besides,
do you know what the feeling is when you like someone?
I'm all agog.
There's a difference in feelings between liking something and liking someone.
When you like something, you wouldn't care how it feels.
You own it if you're satisfied with it.
However, if you like someone,
you care about how he feels.
You'll respect that person
and your mind is occupied by him.
Not really, Miss Song.
If that's the case,
you don't like Sixth Young Lord at all.
Are you pestering Sixth Young Lord
just to seek attention from Madam?
Shut your mouth up.
It's the new year.
Happy New Year, Li.
It's restrained when having the reunion dinner in the palace.
I fear that you'll be uncomfortable around them.
So, we'll eat out.
This is inappropriate, right?
Never mind.
In Xin State, only New Year's Eve
has no curfew.
We can go strolling at the night market later.
[Tuanyuan Restaurant]
Come.
Surprise.
Do you like it?
Is it the same when you have it in Dan State?
It's the chill from Dan State.
Where did you get all these?
It's the new year's present from Lady of Dan State.
I had someone prepare this
as a surprise for you.
And this too.
Wujiu, the special brew of Dan State.
They were all delivered here this morning.
Have a taste.
Dig in.
Hold on.
What are you up to again?
Do you want to take another concubine?
Nonsense.
I swore an oath.
My life will be at stake if I break it.
I never think of that.
I know you don't have the guts.
Shangguan.
Could you please don't act tough on me?
Do you want to eat hot pot?
Zheng.
Li Wei.
Happy New Year.
Jingjing.
You're having the hot pot.
-Happy New Year. -Happy New Year.
Let's eat.
Come on.
It's cooked already.
Eat this.
Is it cooked?
It smells so good.
Wei.
How's the preparation for your secretariat setup going?
The mansion is almost finished.
What about the servants?
You need to hire quite a lot of servants for your secretariat, right?
Handling people is not easy.
You ought to pay more attention to them.
Thank you for your consideration, Your Lordship.
But most of the servants are people I know well,
including those who work in the kitchen.
What else do you have to deal with?
The Inauguration Banquet.
I should be scrupulous in dealing with the invitation list.
Last time, we prepared a banquet with cuisines from the nine states.
I'll try on dishes of Xin State this time.
I envy you so much.
It's said that you have the freedom to leave
after setting up your own secretariat.
Once I move out of the palace,
I'll travel everywhere
to enjoy my time.
Let's go together.
Sure.
Count me in.
Me too.
Did I say I'd let you tag along?
It's a rare chance to roam the world,
why would I lay up trouble for myself
and ruin my mood
by taking a dead weight like you with me?
Shangguan.
Who are you going with then?
People know you as my wife though.
You can't leave with other men.
Is she running away with a man?
Oh, please. That won't do.
Shut your trap.
Eat.
Shut your mouth with the food.
I don't want to.
It's too sweet.
Because you're clueless about how bitter life is.
Dip this
with a bit of sugar will do. It's nice.
It's tasty.
Are you here to eat or to put me off?
-You invited us. -You invited us.
That's right.
Gee.
I shouldn't have invited you.
Per the rules,
the husband and wife should spend the night together on New Year's Eve.
We may return to the room.
It's been some time since His Lordship came here.
He blamed me because of the matter of Jin State.
He wouldn't come here.
Then,
do you allow this situation without mending it?
I'll mend it a while later.
Now isn't the right time.
Let me ask you this.
You see, His Lordship never neglects Madam.
However, why is she still not pregnant
after so many years?
Six years ago,
Madam was the most outstanding lady
in the Nine State Lady's Selection.
But
when His Lordship intended to take in a new wife without a divorce,
she got panicked
and cut off ties with the outside world.
She merely stays by the side of His Lordship in the mansion.
Have you done it yet?
Your handwriting is terrible.
How could you write a gratitude letter so badly
after having the hot pot from my sister?
You're indeed giving me trouble during such a festive day.
Stop giving me an earful.
Write it, then.
Take it.
You'll write it.
Sure.
Move.
Your handwriting is so beautiful.
Well,
I never expected my handwriting
can outshine someone.
Instead of teasing me here,
you should practice more.
Look at you, you've grown up already.
Yet, Zheng has established a secretariat and attended the court assembly before you.
No.
You don't know me well.
Zheng has an old head on his shoulders.
As for me,
I'm a late bloomer.
You're the fine one to talk.
Well,
do you really wish me to set up a secretariat earlier?
Of course.
It's so stuffy staying in the palace.
I'll have more freedom if we own a secretariat.
Don't you want it too?
But I need to be promoted to the court before establishing a secretariat.
It means that I have to graduate from the school.
Besides, I have to wake up early in the morning
rushing to clock in on arrival.
It's fine if a student plays truant.
But no one plays truant
after they enter the court.
That's...
I'll lose my liberty.
You have to pay
to get liberty in return.
Now that you stay in your parents' house.
You can own your mansion
after setting up a secretariat.
You'll be free to do anything you want.
The outside world is vast
that you can wander around freely
with a horse
and a blade.
Can you feel that?
It sounds wonderful.
Still, I don't want to work at the court.
Here you go.
The dishes for the Inauguration Banquet
are difficult to decide.
I doubt that you host the food tasting to indulge yourself.
You can't even make a decision after several tastings.
That's right.
We've been tasting the food
right after the new year.
I've already put on some weight.
You should pamper yourself with the food you couldn't eat when you were in Cang State.
Here's the food.
Wei.
I tell you what,
the dishes for the Inauguration Banquet should avoid oily food and salt.
It's good for our health.
Here you are.
This is the tremella from Ji State.
It's a fine thing
for maintaining your beauty.
I must eat this.
Give me.
I want this.
-Take it. -Thank you.
It smells good.
Here you are, Shangguan.
It's fragrant.
What brings you here, Your Lordship?
He likes to hang out with ladies.
Since all ladies are here,
so I invited him.
What a blessed life you have, Wei.
You're going to move
to a new mansion.
Unlike us,
we're trapped in the palace and have no freedom.
Besides, I have to look at An's annoying face every day.
I'm sick of it.
He's better than Qi anyway.
Qi is stupid and naughty.
He even dares despise my handwriting.
Despite this, Fifth Young Lord treats people sincerely.
Unlike Second Young Lord, he's such a fastidious guy.
To him, men are as high as heaven.
He's always right
even though he's wrong.
I'm still thinking about why Ninth Young Lord mentioned less oily food and less salt.
The dishes are too oily.
Oily?
I'll note this down.
Put that aside,
tell us about Zheng.
Well,
His Lordship is a pretty good man.
Li Wei.
Let me ask you a serious question.
Do you have a crush on Sixth Young Lord?
Says who?
I witnessed many romances
when I was in the restaurant.
The answer is obviously shown on her face.
What's wrong with my face?
Is it easy to fall for someone?
I don't like him.
What do you like about him?
In my opinion,
it's understandable if she likes Sixth Young Lord.
Sixth Young Lord is the finest man
among our husbands.
True.
Song and Yue are the lineal sons.
Leave them out of this.
As for An, he achieves nothing.
Jun is too smooth.
While Qi...
Yan, Sisi's husband,
is a closed book.
Eighth Young Lord deceased at an early age,
while the Han, just count him out of this.
Comparing all of the Young Lords,
Zheng is the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Haitang.
I don't approve of you.
Zheng is a good man.
Whenever Song looks down and mocks me,
it's Zheng defending me.
He has a kind soul and is good-looking.
There's no doubt Wei likes him.
Crap.
I wasn't able to respond to you just now.
He has many problems.
He has a weak stomach and he's picky with food.
It'd be a long list on the wall to record all the food he doesn't like.
I don't like him.
It seems you're defending him
instead of despising him.
That's right.
You're so united to mock me.
Your Lordship.
The dinner is ready.
Please proceed.
Is Li Wei there yet?
Madam invited a few madams
for the food tasting of the Inauguration Banquet.
Didn't they try in the noon?
The tasting started in the morning
and it's not over yet.
Listen.
It's been half a month.
I can't figure out what's in her mind, though.
True.
You've already poured out your heart to her,
yet she still hasn't replied to you.
Instead, she's busy with the ladies' gathering.
Oh, I can't understand.
No rush.
We still have a long time.
She'll reply to my answer eventually.
Your Lordship.
My life isn't that long.
I'm worried that you can't even hold her hands
when my last breath is gone.
No worries.
I'll pass you the message
when you're six feet under.
I'll tell you a secret.
Please keep it to yourself.
Truth be told,
I wanted to leave
when I married into this place.
And both of us agreed to this.
After all, there are no feelings developed between us.
As long as I don't cause trouble,
he'll help me to get out of here
after establishing a secretariat and attending the court assembly.
What about now?
Do you insist to leave?
He said
that he likes me.
He wants to take me as his rightful spouse.
Rightful spouse?
Does he want to take you as his rightful spouse?
It shows
that he truly loves you.
Is this true love?
You're from Ji State.
To you,
it's normal to maintain a monogamous relationship
throughout life
and being someone's wife is a given.
However, it's a different case in Xin State.
Previously, he promised to bear the consequence after you left.
And for now, he's willing to break with tradition and take you as his rightful spouse.
It shows that he's really into you.
What about you?
Do you like him?
Recently, I realized
that I feel secure when I'm with him.
(Sometimes, I even hope)
(I could move to the new mansion sooner)
(so that we can eat,)
read,
and grow vegetables together.
Look at you.
Your face blushes when you speak of him.
I'm sure
you have something for him.
What if
this feeling comes on a whim?
What if I regret it and want to go home?
I don't know much about him,
nor does he.
Isn't it insensible to stay here
just because of a feeling that appears on an impulse?
True though.
Developing feelings for the master
isn't rational.
You will lose yourself easily.
But I can tell
Sixth Young Lord only cares about you.
I think
you can give it a shot.
Who knows if the decision will lead you to a happy life?
Madam.
Madam.
This is the menu for tomorrow's tasting.
Please take a look.
It hasn't ended yet?
The main courses are already fixed.
But I have yet to decide on the dessert and fruits.
Indeed.
Dessert and fruits are crucial as well.
I shall handle the banquet
meticulously.
I'm leaving.
All right.
Where are you going?
I'm going the same way as you do.
How's it?
Is it near the time for the morning assembly?
It's almost time.
Second Young Lord is here.
Heaven blesses him.
May His Highness does well at the court
and not be hampered by me again.
Heaven blesses him.
May His Highness does well at the court
and not be hampered by me again.
Please bless him.
Jia'er.
Your Highness.
I'm sorry to disturb you.
However, I had a nightmare yesterday.
It was a dream that you abandoned me.
If the dream comes true,
I'm to be blamed.
I only wish
that Your Highness be safe
and in pink health.
Your Highness.
Praying to the flower deity
is a tradition in Yan State.
In the past few days,
Madam has been praying for your wellness
without missing a single day.
I know
what you ask for.
I've neglected you as I was preoccupied with the matter of the Ministry of Revenue
before the new year.
Please forgive me.
I'm contented
as long as you're concerned about me.
Never think that I don't care about you.
I'm omniscient
of all your movements.
Although I like you,
I won't coddle you.
Lately,
you've been too close
with Zheng's Concubine.
I knew Li Wei a long time ago.
Besides, she never asks me
about you.
Did you fish out information
about her side for me?
I only consider
how to serve you well, Your Highness.
And I don't have a knack for intrigue.
I'm sorry to let you down, Your Highness.
Forget it.
As long as you're aware of it.
Mark my words.
Don't get any closer
to the woman from Ji State.
Your waist
has thickened as compared to before.
Beauty
should have a slender and curvy waist.
You
should eat less.
I used to like your slender waist.
Do stay in good shape.
Understood.
(How dare you demand on me?)
(You should demand of yourself instead.)
Do you want some melon seeds?
Have it.
Do you want some melon seeds?
Have it.
Thank you.
Do you want it, Hao Jia?
No, thanks.
I'm on a diet.
On a diet?
Why? You're slim.
I've put on weight recently.
I need to keep my weight in check.
What's wrong with putting on weight?
As long as you're happy
and healthy.
Oh, my.
I put on weight too.
I can't eat anymore.
My clothes have become tighter.
As you just said,
I seem to have eaten a lot recently.
Wei.
Our appetite increases
after we met you.
I think so.
Really.
My bad.
Palace Affairs Department is going to disseminate new clothing.
I think it won't fit
as I registered with my previous body size.
What do you do then?
Hao Jia.
Do you have any ways to lose weight?
Please share with us.
Well, I'll share some tips with you.
You can learn it.
Take a piece of cake.
Anything you can reach.
Take a bite.
Don't swallow it yet.
Hao Jia.
What are we doing now?
This is like a gathering of squirrels.
Well.
Try to chew
the food over 20 times.
It helps to give you a feeling of fullness.
Before you eat,
drink some hot soup first.
Eat more vegetables and meats
and less staple food.
But never skip staple food.
Because without consuming it,
it ruins your body as women.
After finishing the meal,
stand with your back against the wall for half an hour.
Try to stand more
instead of sitting.
This...
This is unacceptable.
How torturing.
It's easy though.
In Yan State,
there are many ways that women use to reduce weight.
Like using bitter gourd
or apple,
not eating after noon,
seven-day water fast,
and 21-day diet challenge.
That's torturing.
Eating is one of the few pleasures in my life.
We can still be pretty even if we grow fatter.
That's right.
Stop practicing at this late hour.
Don't follow others blindly to lose weight.
You're slim.
That's my routine practice.
Look at this.
Do you like it?
Previously,
I pawned them to cover an urgent need.
So, I redeemed them afterward.
Why beat me?
Wait.
Don't beat me again.
You've already beaten me today.
No more allowance for that.
Thank you.
You're actually expressing your gratitude?
You scared me.
No.
It hurts this time.
I can't take it anymore.
Enough.
Stop thanking me.
Well.
As long as you're happy.
That's all I wish.
The dish is too far away.
His Lordship wants me to bring you this, Madam.
No.
I don't want to eat meat.
Pass it to Song Wu.
Miss Song.
Please enjoy the food.
Did you poison it?
Why would I?
Normally, you can finish it all by yourself.
But you're giving it to me now.
Why?
I'm on a diet.
On a diet?
You're not fat, though.
No.
I can feel my clothes are smaller.
Indeed, you've eaten so much.
I'll have all of these.
Please enjoy those vegetables.
Here.
Read it.
Eat the food
according to the appropriate amount.
Lungs will be hurt if you're stuffed,
while you lose Qi if you restrain from eating.
You should eat if you want to.
Never be too stuffed or starve yourself.
If you keep your appetite in check
and stop eating before you feel full, it will be good for your health.
But starving will ruin your body.
But...
This is the sauteed spicy beef from Ji State.
I asked Liu Baoquan to prepare this.
Though it isn't as good as your hometown's,
it tastes nice anyway.
It's the problem of the clothes that shrink.
You should enjoy the food you want.
Sounds reasonable.
I need to consume some energy to lose weight.
Madam.
Something bad has happened.
Third Young Madam has fainted.
What?
How come she's weak like this?
It's all because of that annoyingly An.
He claimed that we all have put on some weight.
So, he stopped Haitang from eating.
From now on, you should stop eating.
Your Lordship.
I'll die if I don't eat.
You won't die by skipping a few meals.
Do what I said.
You can eat whatever food you want after losing weight.
He even requested us to have slim waists which are as wide as rice paper
and put copper coins on the collarbone.
If we're not up to the standard,
he won't offer us meals.
This is outrageous.
How could he make such a ridiculous demand?
Does he have a good build instead?
That's right.
Lose weight, my foot.
Quit that.
We just grow fatter as we want.
That's right.
Why do we keep our bodies in good shape?
It's because we want to be healthy
and happy.
We're not doing that to please others.
True.
Eating is the most important thing in life.
We should eat and drink whatever we want.
Don't endure the pain by yourself.
It's the problem with the clothes as it shrinks.
If it shrinks, we make it bigger.
Yes.
Wei.
Congee.
All right.
There's some more here.
Take this for her.
Eat slowly.
Here.
Eat this.
-Come. -Eat this.
Madam.
This isn't appropriate though.
There are no ladies as rebellious as you
in the palace before.
I want to make the clothes bigger.
From now on, I'll wear oversized clothes.
I'm going to be my true self.
As for those who disapprove of me, they'd better shut their mouths.
Are you the Ninth Young Lord?
You're so talented.
His Lordship grew up without the companion of his mother.
Therefore,
he has to deal with everything by himself
and he's well-trained in taking care of himself.
Quit saying that.
You must've suffered a lot.
Madam.
There are many things you don't know about His Lordship.
He led a tough life when he was young.
The Lord of Xin State had Crown Young Lord
be in charge of the Palace Affairs Department for training purposes.
However, he secretly skimmed off the non-lineal Young Lords' allowance
and they were to be suffered.
Therefore, His Lordship
saved the food
for his brothers.
That's why
His Lordship has a weak stomach.
Superintendent Su.
This is too much.
Not at all.
Oh, Your Lordship.
He never resents and holds grudges
even if others have mistreated him.
He's so kind.
Enough.
Never mind.
I want to learn more about you.
Speaking of his habit of being picky with food,
is it an excuse
as he wants to spare more food for others?
Oh, that's not true.
He's simply a picky eater.
Su Shen.
The handkerchief is stained.
Yuping, Yuzhan.
Let's wash the handkerchief.
You can give it a shot.
Who knows if the decision will lead you to a happy life?
Yin Zheng.
What did you call me?
Didn't you
want to take me as your rightful spouse?
If I agree,
what do you say?
Do you mean it?
But there is something different between Ji State and Xin State.
Do you get it?
You're the only one.
I will say yes, then.
♪I can't speak and a soul-stirring feeling aroused♪
♪But you discern my thoughts♪
♪I luck out and have you by my side on this long journey♪
♪Chimney smoke swirls within mountains and rivers♪
♪The gloomy past scatters after the sun rises♪
♪The warmth of the palm envelopes the heart♪
♪Amidst the blustery winter, we share the candle together♪
♪Your presence gives me a sense of security♪
If you see me waiting for you
after tomorrow morning's assembly,
it means
that I'll stay
and carry on life together with you.
It works.
Why are you crying, Superintendent Su?
You know nothing about His Lordship.
His life has been so tough.
He wasn't favored by his parents.
Despite being bullied, he never goes astray.
And finally, his wish is granted.
We shouldn't disturb them.
I want to see more.
Don't disturb them.
Entering the court is the first step toward your wish.
Congratulations
on your promotion.
After you go to court,
please stick to what we promised.
Never get involved in machination
nor be blinded by the lust for power.
Every strand of your thoughts
and considerations
is connected to the goodwill
of the people and the nation.
Restrain your action.
Therefore, you'll go places one day.
Madam.
How come I fell asleep?
Here.
Cover yourself with this.
No way.
What time is it now?
Has His Lordship left already?
Yin Zheng.
Today is your first day in court.
Don't be nervous.
Believe in yourself.
You're the best.
What did she say?
Got it.
Got it?
I think she said
I'm the best.
How did you know?
Bow.
Greeting.
Long live the Lord.
Rise.
My Lord.
The first payment to Jin State has been made.
Now that the money in our state's treasury
has all been used to aid Dan State.
If Jin State insists we clear the debt,
we could only implement the Three-States Synod.
My Lord. In my opinion, Xin State...
My Lord.
In my opinion,
Crowd Young Lord is right.
We came to Dan State's aid for the floods out of our mercy.
However, Jin State keeps urging us to pay the debt
despite knowing the situation.
If we idle and allow this to continue,
as the head of the nine states,
our state and Lord
will lose supremacy and pride.
But...
Zheng.
It's no harm as you dare not speak up
when you first enter the court.
You should step back.
Brothers will guide you well.
Be patient.
He spent so much effort to have Father make an exception to promote him.
Despite this, everything is under my thumb even if he has come.
It's useless even if he's gained acknowledgment from Father.
He offended many people
when he was collecting the debt.
I wonder who else will lend him a helping hand.
An.
Song.
I know
you were trying
to perform well before Father
when you helped Zheng to collect the debt
so that you could move out as soon as possible.
That's right,
Song.
I'm sick of staying in the palace.
Fret not.
I understand.
Everything has passed.
I'll explain to them for your sake afterward.
I'll tell them your harsh attitude
was all forced by Zheng,
and it was not your intention.
An.
Crown Young Lord is the most reliable one
to help you when you are in need.
Am I right?
Rightfully so.
I'll thank you in advance, Song.
We're brothers.
Don't be so courteous.
I'm leaving.
[Changxin Gate]
Your Lordship.
Did everything go smoothly in the assembly?
Did anything bad happen?
Nothing.
Good, then.
Let's return home.
Please stay, Your Lordship.
Sixth Young Lord,
His Lordship wants to see you.
Sixth Young Lord is here.
Father.
My Lady.
Mother.
Today is your first day at court.
Song stopped you
as he was worried
that you might make a slip of tongue.
You need
to train yourself more.
Understood.
There's one more thing.
Previously, you mentioned
that you need a lady for establishing your new secretariat.
I've picked the perfect lady for you.
The lineal elder daughter of the Lord of Jin,
Princess Yuan Ying.
What's wrong with you?
Out of your wit as you're too happy?
But I only want Li of Ji State to be my rightful spouse.
I don't want a new lady for the mansion.
Please grant my wish, Father.
Li of Ji State comes from a humble background.
It was unfair for you to marry her.
Therefore, your father promised
to get you a finer wife.
He keeps his promise.
Besides, this marriage
was brought up by the Lord of Jin State himself.
I reckon
Sixth Young Lord of Xin State is a good choice.
He has a talent for governing and benefiting the people
which's similar to Ying'er.
If you think he's a good choice,
I'll ask Ying'er.
No need.
Judging by her strong character,
she'll never agree to this marriage.
I'll write a letter to the Lord of Xin State
to negotiate this marriage with him.
You did well
regarding the debt affairs
when you were in Jin State,
and you got the attention of the Lord of Jin State.
Princess Yuan Ying
is well-known for her talents since she was little.
Marrying her is a good offer for you.
But I'm not willing to.
Zheng.
Think twice before you talk.
The marriage concerns both states.
You're in no place to turn it down.
Father, you've promised to promote Li of Ji State as my rightful spouse.
Please keep your promise.
When did I make this promise to you?
Besides,
can't you see the advantage if you marry a princess?
Advantage?
I can't even take a lady I love as my wife.
Who cares about the advantage?
Besides, speaking of advantages,
I've never lucked out to have one before.
