The Story of Ming Lan

3

Episode 49

4

I told you not to intervene in this matter.

5

Either way, I will be lenient with the punishment of those brothers of yours.

6

How come, you just won't listen to my advice?

7

Even if you want to beg for leniency, you could have just told it to privately.

8

Why must you talk in front of everyone in the imperial court?

9

Tell me, should I be giving this imperial grace or not?

10

If I give it to you, since you've started the trend, and everybody comes to beg me,

11

how are we still going to investigate this case?

12

If I don't give it to you, outsiders will say that we're not united.

13

All our steps would be difficult from now on!

14

Indeed. You were usually a very sensible person.

15

How come you've become muddled now.

16

Quickly kneel and ask for punishment.

17

May Your Majesty forgive me.

18

Just to clean the name of my birth mother, Lady Bai,

19

that her biography and praises be written in our ancestral book,

20

and to ask for a posthumous title for her, I have no choice but to save my Gu brothers.

21

May Your Majesty just keep a blind eye on this matter

22

just for my sake. Please confer me some graces.

23

If not, this official position of mine

24

becomes meaningless.

25

I know that you had a hard past life.

26

What graces have I not given you?

27

What I'm angry at is you acting by yourself without regard for others.

28

Your Majesty, the reason I begged for leniency

29

in front of all the other high officials in the imperial court

30

is because I was afraid that you'll be criticized at by them in the future.

31

If Your Majesty would be lenient to our Gu Clan in private,

32

I fear that others will say that you're being biased on me.

33

This is better. In front of everyone,

34

they saw me pressuring you.

35

His Majesty then has no choice to agree so as to not lose face.

36

You are always on the right.

37

So letting others see how we lose harmony is a good thing?

38

Your Majesty, as long as you know

39

that I'm united with you in heart and morality, that's enough.

40

The opinions of others are not important.

41

Fine. Fine. Leave now.

42

This...

43

Then...about the Gu Family matters...

44

I've already agreed in front of everyone.

45

Can I still take it back?

46

Just this once. No more next time.

47

Or else, I'll remove you from your post and let you go farm in Yuzhou!

48

- Thank you, Your Majesty!

- Thank you, Royal Father!

49

I told you that it will word. You won't believe me.

50

Let's go.

51

Your Majesty, please don't be mad.

52

Your Majesty.

53

When did you arrive?

54

I was here since earlier and just waiting outside.

55

Your Majesty, please taste the dish that I've personally made.

56

I don't have the appetite. You eat it yourself.

57

Your Majesty, I've worked to make this the whole day.

58

Just leave it. I'm unable to eat.

59

Your Majesty, you just took back the jade seal from Empress Dowager.

60

General Gu indeed is meritorious for suggesting the plan.

61

But now, he has become so arrogant and despotic.

62

What more in the future?

63

What being united in voice and breath? I think

64

that he's only united in voice and breath with Prince Huan.

65

Shut up! Get out!

66

Your Majesty, don't be mad.

67

Leave! Leave!

68

Yes.

69

Your Majesty, calm down! Calm down!

70

[ Kaifeng Precinct ]

71

Third Young Master!

72

Nanny Xiang.

73

Quickly, get into the carriage.

74

- Thank you.

- Hope your Young Master Gu won't see us again.

75

Hope your words will come true.

76

Tingwei!

77

Mother!

78

- My son has suffered.

- Mother...

79

Did you get flogged?

80

Mother, I heard...that eldest brother has died.

81

Didn't the doctor say that his health has been getting better?

82

Was it because we were imprisoned,

83

eldest brother's health worsened out of anger?

84

Why do you still have time to care about him?

85

Did you get torture?

86

Were you starved?

87

Thank you to Second Brother, I'm quite well.

88

Brother Bing got mauled, but they've also been released.

89

The one from the Fifth House has been released with you.

90

Tingbing from the Fourth House, on the other hand,, got sentenced to be exiled.

91

Just let the Fourth House fight it out with Second.

92

Let's not worry about it.

93

What's there still to fight about?

94

Second Brother is currently holding great power.

95

There were so many people who got implicated in this rebellion case.

96

For me to come out of prison is good karma accumulated by our ancestors.

97

You're so useless.

98

This is clearly that Young Lord Qi

99

going against that Gu Tingye.

100

You're just sitting in your house,

101

- but disaster still fell from the sky.

- No...

102

Didn't they say that it was because I took in

103

those female attendants that were initially bought for the rebel prince?

104

For such a trifle matter, at most, you could just be punished immediately.

105

Must it still reach the Ministry of Justice?

106

Let's go home.

107

Slowly.

108

Take this away.

109

Let's go.

110

You've now been pardoned.

111

And your eldest brother is gone.

112

I must think of a way to go out, move around,

113

and find you a job.

114

At home, just focus on your studies.

115

At this important time, stop going to those places of pleasure to jeer and cause trouble.

116

You hear me?

117

Eldest Brother is gone.

118

- Second Brother must be—

- He still must pretend to be grieving.

119

We've all pretended,

120

but Second Brother never did.

121

[ Marquis Manor ]

122

- Please contain your grief.

- Thank you, Young Lord.

123

I'll take my leave.

124

That marquis has such deep thinking.

125

He was indeed a talent.

126

Too bad, his life was too short.

127

If he continued to lead his family, then the Gu Clan...

128

The weather is really good today.

129

Stop the carriage!

130

What's wrong?

131

I want to get down and walk. Walk all the way back to the manor.

132

I'll accompany you then.

133

A few days ago, Gu Tingye made a ruckus

134

in the court meeting to beg for leniency in behalf of the Gu Clan.

135

His Majesty didn't want to pardon those Gu criminals because he wanted to scare away those who intend to do the same crime.

136

But with Gu Tingye doing such a scene,

137

His Majesty has no choice but to give him this favor,

138

so that he won't lose the loyalty of a man who served him before he was emperor.

139

But by doing that,

140

the emperor lost a key moment.

141

Empress Dowager has one more weakness

142

of the emperor in her hand.

143

But the emperor still approved his request in the end,

144

and swallowed his anger.

145

So this consoling decree today was so full of hidden meaning.

146

It sounded something wasn't right.

147

No wonder Gu Second and his wife didn't attend the funeral.

148

They might be in anger and fear inside their house now.

149

This is an argument inside the court meetings.

150

It's not a business that women should meddle in.

151

Although His Majesty is angry,

152

he's only mad at Gu Tingye.

153

Yes. For matters of the imperial court,

154

women shouldn't comment.

155

The weather is really good today.

156

Let's drink some tea before going back.

157

Husband still couldn't forget that Big Madam Sheng.

158

Tormenting the husband of that Big Madam Sheng

159

to vent my anger will be good too.

160

Miss. Miss.

161

Although you've been raised in a luxurious manner,

162

you actually had a hard life.

163

Good thing, you were able to have

164

a capable and filial son like young master.

165

He was able to earn you a posthumous title!

166

No one would dare belittle you now.

167

Belittle your father.

168

Belittle our Bai Family.

169

Miss.

170

I'm also old.

171

For a major matter like getting scolded by His Majesty,

172

you didn't even tell me when you got back.

173

If not because I noticed that there was something wrong with the consoling decree,

174

you wouldn't have still told me.

175

The greatest wish of my mother and grandfather in their life was to be rid of the merchant status.

176

Now that she has been conferred a title, my wish has been fulfilled.

177

So what if I have offended the emperor?

178

What?

179

I did save him and his son's life after all.

180

I risked my life to save them.

181

His Majesty and I have a relationship that transcends life and death.

182

Isn't that enough to earn my mother a conferred title?

183

Since time immemorial, subjects who became arrogant from being satisfied with his achievement,

184

usually didn't end up well.

185

Just be at ease and follow me.

186

I guarantee that nothing will happen to you.

187

You really don't fear anyone, even the emperor.

188

Say, how come a very cautious person like my Second Brother

189

would be friends with you?

190

Even if His Majesty can't control me, you can.

191

Son!

192

- Husband...

- Once you leave, what about me?

193

Okay already. It's getting late.

194

If we still don't leave, we won't be able to reach a lodging inn during the night.

195

Sir...!

196

Father! That asshole Gu Tingye!

197

He did this deliberately!

198

All the other Gu members got pardoned,

199

but how come I'm the only one sentenced to be exiled?

200

Isn't it all because our connections are more inferior?

201

Isn't it because our relationship with their marquis manor is not as good as the Fifth House?

202

How come only my younger brother got sentenced?

203

Their Fifth House also had interactions with the rebel prince.

204

His house not only gave out beautiful women and girls—

205

Shut up!

206

Husband! Husband!

207

That vile spawn Gu Tingye is deliberately

208

making things hard on us!

209

Say, how could our son endure such kind of pain with his health?

210

Husband, think of a way to save him, okay?

211

Let him go.

212

I won't accept any favor from that Gu Tingye.

213

Let's go! Go!

214

Son!

215

Husband! Husband!

216

Intelligence similar to Sun Wu (a personality during the Three Kingdoms Era), has the talent to govern,

217

has pure air like that of Tong Mountain,

218

has been taught the classics of Huang Shi,

219

achieved valiant and imposing merits, has an upright character,

220

rose in the military ranks through his own hard work, very earnest in his useful advice.

221

Although he has achieved high merit, he didn't grow boastful.

222

Although he's salary is abundant, he's able to humble down himself.

223

Hence, I'm promoting such a talented general

224

with the fate of being a marquis.

225

I'm especially conferring him the title Golden Purple Glorious Grand Master,

226

High State Pillar General, inheriting the Marquis of Ningyuan title.

227

His official duty will still be the same.

228

His wife, Lady Sheng,

229

is virtuous and gentle in temperament, graceful and beautiful in appearance,

230

is pure and fragrant like a dense growth of osmanthus, has intelligence like a flowing river.

231

It has become natural for her to give out benefits.

232

It is a natural for her to be benevolent and filial.

233

She's being especially conferred the title Lady of Yongjia Commandery.

234

This decree is to be promulgated.

235

Marquis, Marquis' Wife, please thank the His Majesty's graces.

236

I'm especially grateful to the graces of His Majesty!

237

Congratulations Marquis and Marquis' Wife.

238

I now have a conferred title.

239

How could I have earned a conferred title?

240

Why can't you?

241

But...how old am I just now?

242

I heard that the deceased Big Madam Qin only got her conferred title after she died.

243

The current Big Madam Qin had to go through two generations of marquis

244

before being conferred a title lately.

245

Even my grandmother doesn't have one.

246

Because my father didn't save a voluntary corps commander while in the wilderness,

247

and he also didn't fight and killed enemies inside the palace,

248

of course, they won't be able to get a conferred title.

249

My mother got conferred at title because of giving birth to me.

250

You were conferred a title because you married me.

251

It was clearly His Majesty's grace.

252

It was clearly me who went to the palace to help you get one.

253

Little stupid.

254

Marquis. Madam. People from there have come.

255

Ye'er,

256

you're too unfair towards the Fourth House!

257

Brother Bin has been sickly since he was little.

258

Your Fourth Aunt-in-law has spoiled him too much and didn't let him suffer even for a bit.

259

But you just have to let him get exiled.

260

It's not me who wants to exile him.

261

It was His Majesty who exiled him.

262

Making connections with a rebel prince, just for that one grave crime,

263

exiling is already a light punishment.

264

How about we let your Di'er go then?

265

This...how could you talk like that?

266

Don't be mad.

267

Fifth Uncle, Second must have did his best already.

268

Uncle, stop scolding him.

269

Ye'er, now that the Fourth House is lacking a son now,

270

they surely will be lacking some support

271

for the future days.

272

Ye'er, you must comfort and take care of them more.

273

Big Madam Qin, you're the person that I can't clearly read the most.

274

With you being such a good actress,

275

it's really a waste of talent for you to stay here in this marquis manor

276

and not join the southern opera troupe.

277

How could he speak like that?!

278

When you disregarded law and natural morality before that your father had to beat you up,

279

this mother kept defending you.

280

You dare to insult her like this now?!

281

It's fine. It's fine.

282

You...

283

He just have such stinky attitude.

284

Fifth Uncle, why do you keep defending your sister-in-law,

285

my stepmother? What's the reason behind this?

286

- This... Shameless!

- Second Brother!

287

You even dared to insult me too?!

288

- Second Brother.

- Do you still treat us as your elders?!

289

- Second Brother, what nonsense are you saying?!

- I'm so mad!

290

What? You're also helping them to scold me here in my house?

291

I heard that eldest brother revealed the matters that the family

292

did to wrong you.

293

- But my mother—

- Third!

294

Looks like Second doesn't plan to give me any dignity.

295

- Let's go.

- Mother.

296

- Sister-in-law! Don't go!

- Mother-in-law!

297

Don't cry anymore. He just have a stinky temper.

298

Don't put it to heart.

299

He's deliberately being mean to me.

300

What sin have I done?

301

I was totally submissive

302

in raising such a son!

303

I won't leave uncle and auntie for lunch anymore.

304

- The lunch...

- Grand Madam!

305

Husband.

306

- Fifth Uncle!

- Husband, don't be mad.

307

Fifth Uncle! Fifth Auntie, so sorry.

308

Husband.

309

Mother too. Why must you insist in coming with Fifth Uncle in this trip to get insulted like that?

310

Not really great. Second Brother is mad, and he refuses to mind me too.

311

How could I still expect him to find me a good job now?

312

You're placing your hopes on him?

313

He's your bitter rival!

314

Although we did fight before,

315

we're still siblings. Also, Second Brother dotes me since I was little.

316

Now, he's also just mad at you a little.

317

Good thing, he's not a petty person.

318

I reckon that his anger would have dissipated in a few days.

319

Are you my real born?

320

Get in the carriage!

321

On our way there, that Gu Tingye has already inherited the marquis title and conferred with other more titles.

322

It was even promulgated by the close eunuch of His Majesty, Eunuch Li.

323

How high is the honor being given to him?

324

That noble title was supposed to be yours.

325

Have you never thought of stealing it back?

326

You even thought of being a lackey of that Gu Tingye.

327

Your father and I were both tough people. How come we end up having a son like you?

328

I also want to inherit a noble title, but I should be qualified to do so.

329

Second Brother is currently a favored powerful official of His Majesty.

330

Now, he has inherited the title and isn't a bedridden sickly person like eldest brother.

331

Presently, he is at the prime of his manhood, as strong as a bull.

332

He and Second Sister-in-law are also so much in love.

333

Just looking at it and you know that they'll have children soon. It will never be my turn.

334

What do you mean by favored and powerful?

335

Do you know the matter about him getting scolded by His Majesty?

336

What? What's going on?

337

You don't even know this?

338

What's the use of you hanging out with those disreputable friends of yours?

339

But, Second Brother

340

is currently a popular highly favored new official. How could His Majesty—

341

What do you mean by highly favored new official or currently popular?

342

It means that he wasn't favored before, but is now. He wasn't popular before, but is now.

343

It's not strange for His Majesty to scold him.

344

What's weird is this news got out so fast.

345

It means that His Majesty didn't care.

346

So, if he didn't care, how could he be a favored one?

347

Remember this. There's no such thing as being favored or not.

348

There is only should be used or not by the emperor. Do you un—

349

Mother, so what if Second Brother is the head of our house?

350

In the past, you and him were like a benevolent mother and a filial son, I also was highly doted and cared for by him.

351

What's wrong with days like that that you two must torment each other?

352

Fine. Anyway, it's not only us

353

who wants him dead.

354

No need to look for weaknesses.

355

They will come on their own.

356

Stop the carriage. Stop the carriage!

357

Third Young Master, Big Madam did all of these for your sake.

358

Just continue to instigate my mother.

359

Third Young Master!

360

Big Madam.

361

Today, since we got conferred positions and titles,

362

this Big Madam Qin of mine,

363

oh, wrong. She has now a conferred title. I should call her Grand Madam.

364

Technically speaking, we still have provide for her.

365

That Grand Madam Qin

366

is so cunning and craty.

367

Usually, she would act so gentle and kind.

368

The whole Bianjing is praising her.

369

But actually, her stomach is fool of teeth.

370

Right.

371

I've thought about this matter that you said.

372

Don't call me that.

373

What should I call you?

374

Second Uncle?

375

Shut up!

376

You and I are not related by blood.

377

Why must you call me Second Uncle just like Yuanruo?

378

Why can't you call me like how your Second Brother calls me?

379

Or, call me Darling Second.

380

That's so disrespectful.

381

It's better to call you husband.

382

Under that little face of yours, how are you still respectful towards me?

383

Quickly, call me Darling Second.

384

I really know how to deal with your stepmother.

385

Don't worry.

386

Let's break down the walls between our manors.

387

Put a garden on that area and do some more renovations.

388

On the outside, it's two families uniting as one.

389

But in reality, we're living in one,

390

the two of them,

391

and sister-in-law, are living in the other manor.

392

It's still the same as before.

393

If you are still worried,

394

I'll ask the carpenter to add an additional dividing door,

395

but that will make the travel farther.

396

Call me Darling Second.

397

Say it one word at a time. Try it.

398

Second...

399

Darling Second!

400

You call it well.

403

Is he here yet?

404

Not yet.

405

Where is he?

406

We've agreed to meet here.

407

Big Madam has a pious heart. Buy some incenses.

408

Incenses are good.

409

The gods will bless you and all your wishes will come true.

410

Go away.

411

Big Madam, you don't want incenses?

412

These are good incenses from Yangzhou.

413

What's your name?

414

Bai.

415

I want to invite Big Madam to meet someone.

416

If the person is right,

417

you can then decide to buy my incense or not.

418

I can go meet the person,

419

but I don't want her to see me.

420

It's really true that only the salt merchants

421

can find this woman.

422

We've always sent men to monitor Gu Tingye.

423

When this woman entered our territory,

424

she got invited to live in our manor.

425

You have really put a lot of heart into it.

426

He used his identity as the legitimate son of a marquis to steal my family's assets.

427

I'm not only diligent in trying to kill him,

428

I'm diligent in everything that I do.

429

Go.

430

Eldest of the Bai Family, just wait for our good news.

431

I will quietly wait here for your good news then.

432

Okay already.

433

Go now.

434

Tingye, going to the morning court meeting?!

435

I'm also going to pray to Buddha. Let's travel together!

436

Shitou. Let's go.

437

Okay.

438

Mother-in-law, hope you are well.

439

I am well.

440

Second! Second!

441

Even if you don't acknowledge me,

442

you shouldn't kill me!

443

Second! For you refusing to acknowledge me and wanting to kill me,

444

I accept my fate.

445

But...you can't refuse to acknowledge your son!

446

What's going on here?

447

Second...

448

- This...

- Second!

449

Isn't this that outside mistress of Second?

450

Second!

451

You are also an educated and well-balanced person.

452

You should know about this reasoning.

453

You must increase your tolerance.

454

Why is Buddha's abdomen so huge?

455

That is because he can tolerate people and matters.

456

Mother-in-law, what are you saying?

457

This little temple of our can't accommodate such a huge Buddha.

458

Good child. Don't get yourself a jealous wife reputation

459

at such a young age.

460

She came from a hard life,

461

and has not much foundation.

462

Isn't it still you who has the final say?

463

Just let her into your house.

464

Oh, right. Doesn't she still have a child

465

that's under your care?

466

Go! Call the Miss to see her birth mother!

467

That child is also quite pitiful.

468

When father-in-law was alive, he was resolute to not let her into the House of Gu.

469

The whole capital knows about this.

470

Father-in-law has just died not long ago.

471

Mother-in-law, have you forgotten about it?

472

She gave birth to a son, hence, provided merit to our Gu Family.

473

What mother-in-law said is very reasonable.

474

Madam Zhu, go call Chang'er and just let me raise him.

475

I've never imagined in my wildest dreams

476

that the main wife of Darling Gu will be you.

477

At the Yu Manor before,

478

you scolded and ridiculed me in behalf of Eldest Miss Yu.

479

Could it be because you have selfish intentions of having Darling Gu to yourself?

480

I'm not as smart as you.

481

I fully listen to my family when it comes to marriage matters.

482

Whoever my family tells me to marry, I will marry that man.

483

How can there be so many considerations?

484

There is still such a matter?

485

This is my family business.

486

If you have nothing else to do, you can go to the temple to light incenses.

487

See if Bodhisattva will bless you that all your wishes will come true.

488

- Shitou!

- Here!

489

- Escort the guest out!

- Yes!

490

Please go this way.

491

Yes, this is your family matter.

492

Ye'er, don't forget.

493

Our dynasty governs through benevolence and righteousness.

494

You are also a high official of this government.

495

It's better not to escalate this matter

496

too much.

497

Darling Gu! Don't you want our child anymore?

498

Where is Chang'er?

499

If you allow me to enter your house,

500

place my name in your family's genealogy,

501

he naturally can see you already.

502

[ Jiaxi Abode ]

503

The only way that can work now is to pretend to comply.

504

Falsely agree in letting her into the house.

505

Once Chang'er appears,

506

it will be easy to do the other things.

507

I think that Madam Zhu is very scheming.

508

She's not that easy to deal with.

509

The condition she requested now is for you to sleep with her for a night.

510

In the future, don't know what other conditions she'll come up with.

511

Must we agree with them all the time?

512

You...

513

What about me?

514

Other than weighing the pros and cons, and thinking of a plan,

515

do you have other things to tell me?

516

I do. The conditions she's asking now are still easy to comply with.

517

But if in the future, we meet a condition that you can't agree to,

518

what should we do then?

519

Easy to comply?

520

You feel that spending a night with a woman in one room is easy to comply with?

521

I know that you think her heart is like a serpent and scorpion (too evil), hence, you don't want to agree.

522

But she...refuses to reveal the whereabouts of Chang'er no matter what.

523

You...if you stay with her for a night,

524

maybe, you'll be able to get some information from her.

525

Easy to comply with?

526

You even felt that it's easy to comply with?!

527

That is your son, not mine.

528

Why are you venting your anger on me?

529

Darling Gu,

530

she finally let you come here.

531

Quickly leave.

532

Sit down.

533

How has your life been

534

since you left?

535

Don't know how much sufferings I've endured throughout our journey.

536

These are scars left by me washing clothes and doing sewing works for others.

537

I would then think...

538

It's all my fault for making such wrong decisions.

539

I caused you to dislike me.

540

Just treat this as my retribution.

541

When you left, you took away quite a lot.

542

Why must you still wash clothes and do needlework?

543

I've told you that my older brother is a scoundrel, but you wouldn't believe me.

544

He plundered my money.

545

He would go to brothels and gamble. As if I have an abyss-like amount of money.

546

In a few days, they've all been spent.

547

Chang'er is also just a child.

548

He lives like a prince at home, not needing to worry about food or clothes.

549

Just to provide for him, I'm willing to do any job.

550

I'm willing to endure any hardship.

551

Chang'er is still a child.

552

He indeed shouldn't suffer.

553

In a few days, just move him into my house,

554

won't that be better?

555

Darling Gu, you've already decided on

556

the date of our marriage?

557

The day after tomorrow.

558

The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day.

559

If you don't find it too hasty, we'll set it on the day after tomorrow.

560

I don't mind. I don't mind.

561

Chang'er is still little. I'm thinking of

562

sending someone to fetch him, so he could watch our wedding.

563

Why must he come?

564

Once my name has entered the genealogy of the House of Gu,

565

he can come anytime.

566

Once you entered my house on the day after tomorrow,

567

I'll invite the elders of our Gu Clan

568

to write your name on our genealogy book.

569

It's just I don't know if...

570

...two days is enough to fetch Chang'er to come here.

571

He won't be able to come.

572

No matter how many days more, he won't be able to come.

573

If I don't see my name being entered into the genealogy book of the Gu Clan,

574

I will not talk.

575

Darling Gu, it's getting late.

576

Let's go settle down.

577

You used to be very submissive to me.

578

Now, you would block every question I ask.

579

Why must I still take you in as a concubine?

580

Darling Gu, don't be mad.

581

I only ask to enter your house as a concubine.

582

Once I enter, I surely will be submissive to you.

583

You're treating me like this when you haven't entered my house yet.

584

Once you've entered, won't you be climbing up my head?!

585

Fine. Fine.

586

I'll tell them that there will be no joyous event on the day after tomorrow.

587

It's better to just keep those almanacs and red ribbons away.

588

Darling Gu! Darling Gu!

589

What?

590

You want to talk now?

591

I'll talk.

592

Come nearer to me.

593

You bastard!

594

Men!

595

Young Master!

596

You still want your son?

597

Chang'er has long died! He has long been dead!

598

You're lying!

599

The grasses on top of his tomb

600

is already three meters high!

601

Tie her up! Take her away!

602

He has long died!

603

He has long died!

604

You still want your son?

T/N In the following song, "Don't You Know, Don't You Know?", Lines 5 to the end are the poem by Li Qingzhao, a famous female poet of the Song Dynasty, the poem is titled "Spring Ends".

607

♫One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree,

beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord♫

608

♫Even if drinking in water in the morning, red clouds have half a day of sunshine,

the wind and rain do not affect them completely♫

609

♫In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin,

from on high, your cold tears of distress flow♫

610

♫Brocade letters delivered to me dismiss me, only suddenly to recall me,

not for many years can I see you other than stealthily♫

611

♫Last night, gusty winds and rain

during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect♫

612

♫When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up

and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before.♫

613

♫Don't you know, don't you know,

there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers?♫
