2
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:17,100
Watching the person in the mirror's countenance pale and grow haggard,
3
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:24,200
Examining love together with regret, both new and old.
4
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Keeping watch still by a lantern though it is daybreak, drenched with tears,
5
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:39,100
Watching others meet as promised, as twilight falls.

Story of Yanxi Palace Episode 13
7
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,210
Young Master.
8
00:02:10,210 --> 00:02:13,600
You... What are you doing?
9
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,490
Why did you fool Hailancha?
10
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:17,600
Are you scheming something again?
11
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Tell me, what really is your motive?
12
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,400
It's very painful!
13
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Let go of me!
14
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,400
I don't understand what you're saying.
15
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Wei Yingluo, stop pretending.
16
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:35,800
That fox skin you gave has a black spot on its tail par.
17
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,400
But I remember that Xueqiu is white all over.
18
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,600
I'm sure that you tampered with it.
19
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,180
Say it. Why did you do that?
20
00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:49,000
Are you planning to frame Hailan Cha?
21
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,520
No!
22
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:53,200
I really am not!
23
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,400
I don't believe you. Come with me to see His Majesty now.
24
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,000
Xueqiu. Don't bark.
25
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,200
Why is it here?
26
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,300
Young Master...
27
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,590
Dog is just an animal.
28
00:03:12,590 --> 00:03:15,200
It doesn't know to discern right from wrong.
29
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,400
If it meets a good master, it will guard your home and courtyard.
30
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,800
If it meets a bad master, it will only get harmed and used.
31
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600
I don't want Xueqiu to innocently die like that.
32
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Hence, I switched it and secretly cared for it here.
33
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,600
Now...can you let go of me?
34
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Sorry.
35
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Sorry...
36
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Sorry.
37
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Give it to me.
38
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,400
Why?
39
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,600
How big is Forbidden City?
40
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,600
If it gets discovered, you'll be sentenced for deceiving the emperor.
41
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,500
Don't you want your live anymore?
42
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,800
But you still mustn't kill it.
43
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,550
Who said that I'm killing it?
44
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:24,700
I'll personally take it out of the palace.
45
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,380
Really?
46
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Young Master, can you promise me one thing?
47
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,400
What?
48
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Find Xueqiu a master that will truly care for it.
49
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Okay. I promise you.
50
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,400
Young Master, you're such a good person.
51
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,620
Xueqiu, you heard that?
52
00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:58,400
Young Master Fuheng said that he'll take you out of the palace.
53
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,700
Are you happy?
54
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,100
Your wrist...
55
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Young Master, you exerted too much strength earlier.
56
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,800
Look. My wrist is all red.
57
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Sorry. I was too suspicious.
58
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,800
I now believe that you didn't mean to do it.
59
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,400
What?
60
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,500
Nothing.
61
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,200
Young Master...
62
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,600
If you can blow it for me, my wrist won't hurt anymore.
63
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,000
Sorry. You're too close to me.
64
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
It's inappropriate!
65
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,200
I remember it very clearly.
66
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,000
After entering Forbidden City, my knees seem to be not mine anymore.
67
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800
No matter if it's in the fake mountain or on the stone paths,
68
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,800
as long as I meet the masters, I would automatically kneel.
69
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,400
Momo.
70
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,300
Try putting this cover or your knees.
71
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:14,600
See if it's more comfortable.
72
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,000
Your hands are really skillful.
73
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,420
I also just saw those eunuch wearing them.
74
00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:26,600
I just couldn't find a good animal skin.
75
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,900
Once I was able to get one, I'll change that.
76
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:35,010
What's wrong?
77
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Yingluo, Xueqiu's skin is clearly white all over.
78
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Why did you choose one with a flaw on it.
79
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:57,920
Because Imperial Guard Suolun and Fuheng are good friends.
80
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,500
I don't understand anymore.
81
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,540
Imperial Guard Suolun is careless and negligent, while Fuheng is very smart.
82
00:07:06,540 --> 00:07:10,800
He surely will quickly notice that I tampered with it and had saved Xueqiu.
83
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
But why do you want him to find out?
84
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,900
Last time, I gave him a hog bladder.
85
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:19,400
Although I bluffed my way out, once he was able to think about it,
86
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,800
he surely will get suspicious. How then can I eliminate his suspicion?
87
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,480
Only by making him feel that I'm kind
88
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200
and safe to be with.
89
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,700
Momo, I'm very evil to begin with.
90
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,700
Just to seek vengeance for sister, I will get more evil.
91
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,670
Don't advise me against it anymore. I will never change.
92
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,300
How could an evil person repeatedly save Noble Lady Yu?
93
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,200
Even to the point of not hesitating to be enemies with Noble Consort Gao.
94
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,800
How could an evil person save Xueqiu,
95
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,500
even saving her own meals just to feed it?
96
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,400
Just to clear myself from my crime,
97
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,100
I used a dog. Of course, I would feel guilty.
98
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,700
Yingluo,
99
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,600
in this Forbidden City,
100
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,200
if you want to be evil, then you should make it complete.
101
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Tough mouth but soft heart, leaving some kindness behind,
102
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,800
would instead lead to greater disaster.
103
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,300
[Chuxiu Palace]
104
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,740
What is this?!
105
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Your Highness, that is the West Lake longjing tea that the Imperial Household Department has sent earlier.
106
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,600
I've always loved drinking yunwu tea and everyone in the palace knows that.
107
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,400
Right now, I haven't fallen out of favor yet.
108
00:08:53,410 --> 00:08:56,400
But the Imperial Tea House is already treating me this lowly.
109
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,700
What messed up thing did they send to brush me off?
110
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:03,400
Your Highness, please calm down. This year, there was continuous rain in Lushan and the tea roots got damaged from getting soaked.
111
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,200
It's not that the Tea House doesn't want to send us yunwu tea leaves, there really aren't any.
112
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,800
I don't believe it.
113
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,130
Go and get me the Tea House Head.
114
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,300
- This... - You're still not going to hurry?!
115
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:17,800
Yes.
116
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,100
Greetings, Your Highness.
117
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:33,070
You even dared to come at this time
118
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,000
You think you haven't caused me enough trouble?
119
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,900
Your Highness, everything was my fault.
120
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:44,600
I belittled that servant too much.
121
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Please forgive me just this time. I'm willing to repay you with the best that I can.
122
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,600
Your Highness.
123
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Why are you still not leaving?
124
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Can't I order you around now?!
125
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800
I dare not. When I just got out of the gates, I bumped into the messenger eunuch
126
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
of Prince Yi of the First Rank.
127
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,000
What did he say?
128
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,220
Reply to Prince Yi of the First Rank
129
00:10:25,220 --> 00:10:28,400
that he can just handle it according to the law.
130
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,480
Just relay my words to him.
131
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,400
He would then understand what to do.
132
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,900
Yes.
133
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,400
I can forgive you.
134
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,600
It's just that flea from Changchun Palace that kept jumping to and from
135
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800
is really such an eyesore.
136
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,800
As long as Your Highness is willing to forgive me this once,
137
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,400
I surely will make amends for my mistake.
138
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,140
Your Highness, what are you thinking?
139
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:27,570
I'm worried about Changshou. He's sick while in prison.
140
00:11:27,570 --> 00:11:29,400
No one's taking care of him.
141
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,320
We've sent the money out.
142
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,050
Madam will surely think of a way to let the doctor see him in prison.
143
00:11:34,050 --> 00:11:36,280
Be at ease.
144
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:39,860
Changshou is indeed a good-for-nothing.
145
00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:42,490
Always creating troubles.
146
00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:46,660
But he's still my biological brother.
147
00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:48,720
When we're growing up,
148
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,400
he'd always protect and respect me.
149
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:55,830
When he knew that I'm going to be married off to the manor of Prince Bao of the First Rank,
150
00:11:55,830 --> 00:11:58,310
he cried until his eyes were red.
151
00:11:58,310 --> 00:12:01,440
He kept asking to come with me.
152
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,550
Afterwards, he got a hard beating from father.
153
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,130
While limping,
154
00:12:08,130 --> 00:12:10,290
he came to send my carriage off.
155
00:12:13,210 --> 00:12:15,910
When I refused to ask for leniency for him this time,
156
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:18,380
maybe he would blame me.
157
00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:21,960
Your Highness, you've done everything that you can do.
158
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,810
Young Master knows about your heart. He won't blame you.
159
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:34,690
I'm only looking forward that Changxiu can get better soon.
160
00:12:34,690 --> 00:12:36,880
He will. He surely will.
161
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,140
Are you looking forward for Changshou to get better
162
00:12:39,140 --> 00:12:42,250
and continue destroying my empire?
163
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Greetings, Your Majesty.
164
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:51,910
Your Majesty, why did you come?
165
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:54,510
I didn't even go out to welcome you. Please forgive me.
166
00:12:54,510 --> 00:12:58,020
You still haven't answered my question.
167
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:02,520
Your Majesty, Changshou is too young.
168
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Because of a thoughtless moment, he committed a mistake.
169
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,230
But I know the laws, so I won't beg for leniency.
170
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:12,550
I'm just worried of his suffering in prison.
171
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:16,540
This is just normal human behavior. Your Majesty, why must you strongly denounce it?
172
00:13:16,540 --> 00:13:19,480
Your younger brother is young and muddled.
173
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:23,080
What about that good father of yours?
174
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Are you going to say that he's too old
175
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,380
that's why, he's more muddled?
176
00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:30,260
Your Majesty, my father
177
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:33,590
has always did his duty with fairness, just, and cautiousness.
178
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:36,110
The only criticism about him is he wasn't strict in disciplining his son.
179
00:13:36,110 --> 00:13:38,670
Why then did you say such a thing?
180
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:43,380
Today, Prince Yi of the First Rank submitted a memorial saying that your father,
181
00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:46,580
Naerbu, personally offered him some silver.
182
00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:48,440
Impossible!
183
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,650
Why would he give Prince Yi of the First Rank silver?
184
00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:55,430
Because I ordered Prince Yi of the First Rank to join the public trial.
185
00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:57,910
Naerbu requested Prince Yi of the First Rank
186
00:13:57,910 --> 00:14:00,800
to be lenient in sentencing Changshou.
187
00:14:01,580 --> 00:14:06,050
Your Majesty, my father is so honest and just.
188
00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:09,590
Where will he get the silver to bribe anyone?
189
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:15,240
Consort Xian, the silver that Naerbu gave him
190
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,930
was those 500 taels that Empress rewarded you during the lychee banquet.
191
00:14:18,930 --> 00:14:22,830
I sent those 500 taels to them to get a doctor to treat Changshou.
192
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:26,600
You're saying that father used it to bribe people? I would never believe that even if you cane me to death.
193
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,010
I completely believe the character of my father. What you should be doubting
194
00:14:30,010 --> 00:14:32,710
is the motive of Prince Yi of the First Rank.
195
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:35,350
Why would I suspect him?
196
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:37,780
Everyone in the imperial court knows that Prince Yi of the First Rank
197
00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:40,970
is very close with the father of Noble Consort Gao.
198
00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:43,800
He slandering my father of bribing
199
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,620
might be the instruction of some people.
200
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:47,320
Shut up.
201
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:52,220
Your Majesty, I believe that my father will never bribe anyone.
202
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:55,020
I'm willing to use my life as a guarantee.
203
00:14:59,110 --> 00:15:02,970
The truth is already like this, yet you still are covering your eyes with a leaf.
204
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:06,830
Okay! I'm allowing you to go to prison
205
00:15:06,830 --> 00:15:10,590
so you can ask that honest and dutiful father of yours.
206
00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:21,240
You are falsely accusing a loyal subject. You surely will regret this.
207
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,890
Can you let us see Hoifa-Nara Changshou?
208
00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:28,090
His Majesty has give orders that you can only see Naerbu.
209
00:15:32,490 --> 00:15:33,900
Father!
210
00:15:34,630 --> 00:15:36,750
Your Highness Consort Xian!
211
00:15:36,750 --> 00:15:39,610
Father, what time is it already and you're still caring about such things.
212
00:15:39,610 --> 00:15:42,510
No matter what, I'm forever your daughter.
213
00:15:42,510 --> 00:15:45,510
It's His Majesty who allowed you to come here?
214
00:15:45,510 --> 00:15:48,110
His Majesty let me come see you.
215
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,240
I...am ashamed to face His Majesty.
216
00:15:55,010 --> 00:15:58,180
I indeed disappointed his graces.
217
00:15:58,180 --> 00:16:01,220
Father, this isn't your mistake.
218
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:04,230
Prince Yi of the First Rank has always been colluding with the Gao family.
219
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:07,400
I also kept refusing to bow down to Noble Consort Gao.
220
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,630
This must be her throwing a stone to our family who's already fallen into a well.
221
00:16:10,630 --> 00:16:13,660
I'm the one who dragged you down.
222
00:16:13,660 --> 00:16:17,270
Father, don't worry. I surely will do my best
223
00:16:17,270 --> 00:16:19,670
to clear your name.
224
00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:23,060
I'll go beg His Majesty now to reopen the case and give you justice.
225
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:27,740
Don't go. You must not go.
226
00:16:27,740 --> 00:16:29,680
Why?
227
00:16:32,130 --> 00:16:33,950
Father.
228
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:37,140
Could you have...
229
00:16:37,140 --> 00:16:39,310
I'm sorry.
230
00:16:39,310 --> 00:16:42,260
I wronged our Hoifa-Nara clan!
231
00:16:42,260 --> 00:16:47,260
It was all my fault. It was because of a thoughtless moment...
232
00:16:47,260 --> 00:16:50,010
...I committed such a grave crime.
233
00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:51,840
Father, you have always
234
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,230
looked down on those officials who shelters evil practices.
235
00:16:55,230 --> 00:16:58,760
For 20 years, you never received any dirty money.
236
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,820
How could you go bribe?
237
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:02,960
How is that possible?
238
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,270
I also didn't want to do it,
239
00:17:06,270 --> 00:17:09,390
but your mother was threatening me with her life.
240
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:12,290
She forced me to go and beg for leniency.
241
00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:15,920
Finally, they spared the life of Changshou.
242
00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:22,460
Changshou is my only son.
243
00:17:22,460 --> 00:17:25,300
He's the only descendant of our family. Tell me, I...
244
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:27,700
Just to save Changshou,
245
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:31,610
you bribed Prince Yi of the First Rank?
246
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:36,520
What about the words you taught me before? You said that a person can lose anything
247
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,510
except for his conscience. You said that as an official,
248
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:42,850
you will never break the law and go against your initial character.
249
00:17:42,850 --> 00:17:45,520
You don't ask for a high position or salary, for wealth or a noble status,
250
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,240
but just to be honest, upright, and have a guilt-free conscience.
251
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,060
In the palace, no matter how hard my life is,
252
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:55,850
I would follow your instructions. Now, you're telling me that
253
00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:58,280
you bribed someone?
254
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,160
Father, I believed every word you said.
255
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,320
I've always been proud of you.
256
00:18:08,850 --> 00:18:11,280
But today, you actually...
257
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:18,430
It was my mistake! Shushen, forgive me!
258
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:21,550
Sorry...
259
00:18:21,550 --> 00:18:27,300
Help me! Save me! Shushen...
260
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:30,640
Zhen'er, let's go.
261
00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:36,620
Shushen...!
262
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:40,020
Shushen, don't go! Shushen...
263
00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:44,860
In this world, only you can save me now.
264
00:18:44,860 --> 00:18:47,060
Shushen...
265
00:19:03,630 --> 00:19:06,450
Your Highness, we're about to enter the Gate of Divine Might.
266
00:19:06,450 --> 00:19:08,810
Stop crying.
267
00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:10,790
Yes, I'm fine.
268
00:19:10,790 --> 00:19:12,760
No need to worry.
269
00:19:18,780 --> 00:19:22,020
Consort Xian, your mother is here.
270
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:27,250
Shushen!
271
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:34,330
Shushen, you're father...
272
00:19:34,330 --> 00:19:37,240
It was you who forced father to beg Prince Yi of the First Rank. Am I right?
273
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,650
I can't watch your little brother just lose his head like that.
274
00:19:41,650 --> 00:19:43,370
I also was out of methods.
275
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:46,620
I just wanted to beg Prince Yi of the First Rank to be magnanimous.
276
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:50,350
Allow that he be transferred out so he could be treated.
277
00:19:50,350 --> 00:19:52,910
The prison is so dark and moist.
278
00:19:52,910 --> 00:19:55,210
That's not a place for people.
279
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:59,580
How could his body take it?
280
00:20:00,430 --> 00:20:03,410
For so many years, you kept pressuring father to progress in status.
281
00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:05,890
Father wasn't willing to join alliances, you then forced Changshou.
282
00:20:05,890 --> 00:20:07,950
Now, you've forced him into the prison.
283
00:20:07,950 --> 00:20:11,660
But that's not enough, you even forced father to bribe people.
284
00:20:11,660 --> 00:20:14,160
Now, even him has gone in!
285
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,970
This...is also not my fault.
286
00:20:16,970 --> 00:20:19,210
If it's not yours, who should we blame?
287
00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:23,360
Since I was little, I would hear you complain about how useless father is
288
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,720
or how I'm not thinking of improving my status.
289
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,050
We both are useless people who couldn't bring you glory and wealth.
290
00:20:30,050 --> 00:20:32,380
Now, our whole family is gone. Are you satisfied?
291
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:36,520
- Am I right? - Your father has been an official all his life.
292
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,030
but he's still just an Assistant Captain. He's really useless.
293
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:43,590
I'm eager to excel. Although I kept blaming him,
294
00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:48,150
gave him supercilious look, and ridiculed him, I still sold all my dowry
295
00:20:48,150 --> 00:20:51,500
to make up for our house needs. When I go back to my maiden family
296
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:55,650
to drink some tea, I would suffer supercilious look from them.
297
00:20:55,650 --> 00:20:57,930
Good thing, I was fortunate to have you.
298
00:20:57,930 --> 00:21:01,850
I didn't care about your brother and gave you all the good food and clothes.
299
00:21:01,850 --> 00:21:04,370
I only hoped to send you into the palace
300
00:21:04,370 --> 00:21:06,350
and that you can excel.
301
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:09,330
I'm also a woman!
302
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:12,860
I want a good future. I want wealth and splendor!
303
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:15,450
Is there anything wrong with that?
304
00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:16,920
I don't want to hear it anymore.
305
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,980
Shushen! It's all my fault! I don't want anything anymore!
306
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:22,380
I don't want wealth and splendor!
307
00:21:22,380 --> 00:21:25,980
But you must not ignore your father and your little brother.
308
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,960
It's not that I don't want to save them.
309
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,860
Now that the matter has come to this,
310
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:32,750
I also can't do anything anymore.
311
00:21:38,090 --> 00:21:42,560
Madam, Young Master is gone.
312
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,470
What?
313
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:47,850
Your Highness Consort Xian, the condition of Young Master rapidly deteriorated.
314
00:21:47,850 --> 00:21:50,020
He didn't get revive.
315
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,670
He's dead?
316
00:21:55,670 --> 00:21:58,460
Changshou is dead...
317
00:21:59,820 --> 00:22:02,900
Your little brother is dead...
318
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:06,580
If you care about him,
319
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:09,630
you would have begged His Majesty.
320
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:16,390
- He then wouldn't have died in that cold prison. - Mother...
321
00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:18,430
You want to be lofty.
322
00:22:18,430 --> 00:22:20,790
You want to be a good person.
323
00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:25,650
Even if I have committed so many mistakes,
324
00:22:25,650 --> 00:22:30,190
I'm able to face the Hoira-Nala Clan.
325
00:22:30,190 --> 00:22:34,700
What about you? In this Forbidden City,
326
00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:38,300
you live worse than a dog!
327
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,640
Who can you face?
328
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,410
Mother...
329
00:22:44,270 --> 00:22:47,450
Listen well.
330
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:50,320
Hoifa-Nara Shushen,
331
00:22:52,340 --> 00:22:54,480
your family was ruined and its members died...
332
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,950
...all because of your fault!
333
00:22:57,950 --> 00:23:02,260
The thing I regret the most in this life
334
00:23:02,260 --> 00:23:06,630
is to give birth to an incompetent daughter like you!
335
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,940
Mother!
336
00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:28,360
Someone come here! Save my mother!
337
00:23:37,770 --> 00:23:41,200
Mother, it was all my fault.
338
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,100
Come back!
339
00:23:46,170 --> 00:23:48,340
I don't want anything anymore.
340
00:23:48,340 --> 00:23:50,770
Come back, mother.
341
00:23:54,150 --> 00:23:56,140
Mother...
342
00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:27,510
Yingluo, come write too.
343
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,000
Yes.
344
00:24:46,790 --> 00:24:50,700
[Wei
345
00:24:56,220 --> 00:24:59,980
Ying...]
346
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:05,400
My god, is that writing a word or drawing some caterpillar?
347
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,440
It is exactly because I couldn't write well,
348
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,600
that's why, I want to learn from Her Highness Empress.
349
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,490
You will never compare to the beautifully written words of Her Highness even if you write for a hundred years.
350
00:25:14,490 --> 00:25:17,480
How could a student compare herself to her teacher?
351
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,390
That's disrespectful.
352
00:25:19,390 --> 00:25:23,380
You're such a rascal. When did Her Highness said that she's taking you in as a student?
353
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,360
I was bold and said the wrong words.
354
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:30,980
Yingluo was right.
355
00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:33,590
It is exactly because she doesn't know how to,
356
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:36,110
that's why, she must be diligent in practicing how to write.
357
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,730
Yingluo is very smart.
358
00:25:39,730 --> 00:25:43,150
I believe that in the future, your handwriting will become very good.
359
00:25:43,150 --> 00:25:47,300
I also am very happy to have a student like you.
360
00:25:50,970 --> 00:25:53,610
Your Highness, bad news!
361
00:25:54,550 --> 00:25:56,600
Chengqian Palace is in trouble.
362
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:08,720
That face of Consort Xian right now must be so good to look at!
363
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,300
Too bad, I'm currently reflecting.
364
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:14,160
I have no way to admire it.
365
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,240
Your Highness, I don't understand.
366
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,200
You initially could have used the bribery case of Naerbu to threaten Consort Xian.
367
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,180
How come you did it like this?
368
00:26:26,650 --> 00:26:30,320
That woman is so stubborn.
369
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,620
Can being contented with poverty and striving for virtue be converted to food to eat?
370
00:26:34,290 --> 00:26:39,250
I repeatedly recruited her, but she didn't appreciate it.
371
00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:42,480
Why would I give her another chance?
372
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,400
Your Highness said it right.
373
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,780
That Consort Xian didn't know what's good for her. It is indeed time to teach her some lessons.
374
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,700
But after all, it was Empress who showed her graces first.
375
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:56,930
No matter what you do now, she wouldn't feel grateful.
376
00:26:56,930 --> 00:27:00,050
Why not kill the chicken to warn the monkeys
377
00:27:00,050 --> 00:27:03,730
and let the people here in Forbidden City see your methods.
378
00:27:03,730 --> 00:27:05,750
Methods?
379
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:09,400
If I have methods,
380
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,240
I wouldn't have tolerated a lowly servant to behave atrociously.
381
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,810
That is because Empress kept defending that servant.
382
00:27:14,810 --> 00:27:18,160
She's also a rascal who can do anything.
383
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,500
Because we have some qualms, we are then sparing the rat to save the dishes. (being cautious)
384
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,980
But...we couldn't kill her,
385
00:27:25,980 --> 00:27:28,790
still someone can.
386
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:31,610
Who?
387
00:27:31,610 --> 00:27:34,900
One matter shouldn't bother two masters. Your Highness, don't forget,
388
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:38,420
there's still one Prince Yi of the First Rank.
389
00:27:38,420 --> 00:27:40,310
He?
390
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:44,540
Although Hongxiao inherited the nobility title of the old Prince Yi of the First Rank,
391
00:27:44,540 --> 00:27:49,060
the power of the House of Prince Yi has dwindled after the death of the former emperor.
392
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:51,160
Although he is also a legitimate royal bloodline,
393
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,370
he was only able to became an imperial guard of Gate of Heavenly Purity,
394
00:27:54,370 --> 00:27:58,270
and didn't even get promoted to an imperial bodyguard. He is bearing a huge grudge about this.
395
00:27:58,270 --> 00:28:02,180
Now, he and Young Lord Gao are best friends.
396
00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:06,720
He is bent on getting some promotions from you, so he surely will do everything to be on your good side.
397
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,200
Or else, he wouldn't have sent you the news about Naerbu.
398
00:28:12,450 --> 00:28:15,880
But he is an imperial guard of the Gate of Heavenly Purity.
399
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,760
With so many eyes looking,
400
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,800
could his hands extend to the imperial harem?
401
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,150
Your Highness, if you're going to hit a snake, you should hit its weak spot.
402
00:28:26,150 --> 00:28:30,050
I've already sent men to the Embroidery House and ask around regarding Wei Yingluo.
403
00:28:30,050 --> 00:28:34,970
I discovered that she once had a scandal with an imperial guard.
404
00:28:36,790 --> 00:28:38,730
Your Highness Empress, please forgive me.
405
00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:43,360
When my mistress returned, she locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out regardless who calls her.
406
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,990
- I'll tell her now that you're here. - No.
407
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:48,120
Since Consort Xian is not in the mood,
408
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,990
I will not force it anymore.
409
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:53,170
You must take good care of her. Got it.
410
00:28:53,170 --> 00:28:54,190
Yes.
411
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:55,990
Go now.
412
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,800
Let's go to Yangxin Palace.
413
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:11,120
Your Highness, why are we going to Yangxin Palace?
414
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,890
Naerbu bribed an official, and Consort Xian suffered because of it.
415
00:29:14,890 --> 00:29:17,960
His Majesty is currently very angry about this matter.
416
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,930
You must not make him unhappy too.
417
00:29:19,930 --> 00:29:23,030
How could I not know that His Majesty is very angry right now?
418
00:29:23,030 --> 00:29:26,370
But if even I don't meddle in this matter,
419
00:29:26,370 --> 00:29:28,830
Naerbu will then indeed be beyond redemption.
420
00:29:28,830 --> 00:29:30,520
If he couldn't be saved, that's their family's matter.
421
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,590
What's that got to do with Changchun Palace, with Your Highness?
422
00:29:42,260 --> 00:29:46,610
Yingluo, what is your opinion?
423
00:29:46,610 --> 00:29:50,490
Your Highness Empress isn't really meddling with state affairs,
424
00:29:50,490 --> 00:29:53,360
but pitying Her Highness Consort Xian.
425
00:29:55,060 --> 00:30:01,170
Right. Consort Xian and I have been together for so many years.
426
00:30:01,170 --> 00:30:03,550
I deeply know her personality.
427
00:30:03,550 --> 00:30:05,430
She's generous and magnanimous.
428
00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:09,250
She strictly adheres to the righteous principles and has helped a lot of people.
429
00:30:09,250 --> 00:30:13,170
If a person like that would have this kind of fate,
430
00:30:13,170 --> 00:30:16,040
isn't that the heaven being blind?
431
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,890
That's why, I want to help her
432
00:30:20,890 --> 00:30:22,420
save her father.
433
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:24,880
Then, you must not be too frank with your words.
434
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,350
Don't anger His Majesty.
435
00:30:26,350 --> 00:30:28,230
His Majesty is very intelligent.
436
00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:32,110
If one makes circular reasoning in front of him, that's inviting trouble.
437
00:30:32,110 --> 00:30:35,970
- What do you suggest then? - Of course, you should be direct and blunt.
438
00:30:35,970 --> 00:30:38,560
But you must say it in another way.
439
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,940
You're not begging for leniency in behalf of Naerbu,
440
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:43,770
but begging for Consort Xian.
441
00:30:43,770 --> 00:30:45,060
What's the difference?
442
00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:46,990
The difference is very big.
443
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:58,160
Your Majesty, Her Highness Empress is here.
444
00:31:07,870 --> 00:31:10,550
Greetings, Your Majesty.
445
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,080
Empress, why did you come here?
446
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,020
I heard that you've eaten a lot of lychees today
447
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:21,960
and didn't even eat much of your meal.
448
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,770
If you dry the leaves of the lychee and make it into tea,
449
00:31:24,770 --> 00:31:27,740
it can reduce internal heat and exhaustion. Your Majesty, give it a try.
450
00:31:27,740 --> 00:31:29,220
Yingluo.
451
00:31:39,370 --> 00:31:45,120
If this was in the past, you surely will urge me against giving into my food cravings,
452
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,740
so that my health won't get affected.
453
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:50,620
How come today, you didn't mention that at all
454
00:31:50,620 --> 00:31:53,720
and even made me some tea?
455
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,340
Of course, it's to
456
00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:58,950
fawn on you and make you happy.
457
00:31:59,650 --> 00:32:01,960
Why?
458
00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:06,300
I...
459
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,050
...want to ask for leniency in behalf of Consort Xian.
460
00:32:14,330 --> 00:32:16,420
Empress.
461
00:32:16,420 --> 00:32:21,250
Your Majesty, I know that the imperial harem mustn't meddle with state affairs.
462
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:24,650
But I came here not for Lord Naerbu,
463
00:32:24,650 --> 00:32:26,990
it's for Consort Xian.
464
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:35,360
Consort Xian entered the Manor of Prince Bao of the First Rank when she was 14.
465
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,010
Calculating it, it has been 9 years.
466
00:32:40,890 --> 00:32:47,550
Your Majesty, a woman who has been by your side and has attended to you for 9 years,
467
00:32:47,550 --> 00:32:52,080
now lost her mother and younger brother
468
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,350
successively. If Naerbu gets sentenced to be executed,
469
00:32:56,350 --> 00:33:01,850
Consort Xian will truly become alone from now on.
470
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:10,270
Empress, I mustn't waive implementing the law just for personal reasons.
471
00:33:10,270 --> 00:33:12,020
I know.
472
00:33:12,020 --> 00:33:16,390
For Lord Naerbu to bribe Prince Yi of the First Rank when the wind and waves are the highest (peak of scandal)
473
00:33:16,390 --> 00:33:19,620
is indeed a reckless act and unpardonable.
474
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:23,920
But Your Majesty, those 500 taels
475
00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:27,520
were given by me to Consort Xian.
476
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:33,270
If that time, I instead sent the imperial physician to the prison,
477
00:33:33,270 --> 00:33:36,920
maybe, the situation would be different today.
478
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,090
But I was worried that time
479
00:33:40,090 --> 00:33:42,630
that there would be people gossiping.
480
00:33:43,890 --> 00:33:49,960
Saying that I was deliberately recruiting Consort Xian to my side, hence, I showed her graces.
481
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,100
Never thought that because of avoiding suspicions,
482
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,790
it instead led to Changshou's death.
483
00:34:00,250 --> 00:34:05,160
Empress, everything that happened has nothing to do with you.
484
00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:09,410
Don't assume responsibility for all the offenses.
485
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:19,020
I earnestly beg Your Majesty
486
00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:22,590
to give Naerbu a chance to live.
487
00:34:22,590 --> 00:34:25,650
Even if it's just leaving Consort Xian some decency.
488
00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:30,680
Or else, not only will Consort Xian be overwhelmed with grief that she won't desire to live anymore,
489
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:36,120
even I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.
490
00:35:04,590 --> 00:35:07,650
Your Highness! Your Highness!
491
00:35:07,650 --> 00:35:11,100
Your Highness, I got news from Yangxin Palace that Empress personally went there to beg for leniency.
492
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:14,120
His Majesty has agreed to pardon Master.
493
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,730
Get out.
494
00:35:16,830 --> 00:35:19,740
- Your Highness. - I told you to go out.
495
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:23,320
Yes.
496
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:36,390
In this Forbidden City,
497
00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:39,140
you lived worse than a dog!
498
00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:42,020
Who can you face?
499
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:44,790
Listen well.
500
00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:48,330
Our Hoira-Nala Clan getting ruined and its members dying...
501
00:35:48,330 --> 00:35:51,380
...is all your fault!
502
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:57,290
The thing I regret the most in this life
503
00:35:57,290 --> 00:36:01,740
is to give birth to an incompetent daughter like you!
504
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:33,510
Your Highness, where are you going to this early?
505
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:35,910
To thank Her Highness Empress for her graces.
506
00:36:35,910 --> 00:36:39,390
Yes, we should indeed thank Her Highness Empress.
507
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:01,200
Greetings, Your Highness Consort Xian.
508
00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:05,040
I came to greet Her Highness Empress.
509
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,020
Her Highness is currently reading books.
510
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:09,330
I'll take you to see her now.
511
00:37:09,330 --> 00:37:11,760
Thank you, Miss Erqing.
512
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:32,040
What are you looking at? Quickly go back to work!
513
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,940
There's something different with Her Highness Consort Xian.
514
00:37:36,590 --> 00:37:40,050
A person who is in mourning will naturally look different.
515
00:37:40,050 --> 00:37:41,980
Quickly go back to work.
516
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,210
The matter is more or less like that.
517
00:37:53,210 --> 00:37:55,420
I will go back then.
518
00:37:56,930 --> 00:37:58,770
Prince Yi of the First Rank!
519
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,190
Prince Yi of the First Rank, who are you talking to?
520
00:38:09,190 --> 00:38:12,500
That palace maid earlier looks familiar.
521
00:38:14,620 --> 00:38:16,270
I lost the sheath of my fan.
522
00:38:16,270 --> 00:38:18,490
I asked her if she saw it.
523
00:38:18,490 --> 00:38:20,170
Really?
524
00:38:21,410 --> 00:38:25,130
Are you suspecting that a distinguished Prince of the First Rank like me
525
00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:27,120
will have any affairs with a palace maid?
526
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,950
Of course, I dare not.
527
00:38:31,150 --> 00:38:36,130
Fuheng, don't think that because His Majesty favors and trusts your Fuca Clan,
528
00:38:36,130 --> 00:38:38,540
you are not going to give me any importance.
529
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:43,290
I inherited my noble rank when I was 9. I'm an iron-cap prince based on the rule of nobility inheritance.
530
00:38:43,290 --> 00:38:45,660
You want to surpass me?
531
00:38:45,660 --> 00:38:47,810
It's too early.
532
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,470
Greetings, Prince Yi of the First Rank.
533
00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:06,190
Get up.
534
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:14,450
Qingxi, I heard that you're preparing to get promoted.
535
00:39:14,450 --> 00:39:17,670
Prince, you're joking with me. I'm currently just a second-grade imperial guard.
536
00:39:17,670 --> 00:39:20,000
Who doesn't want to be on the top level?
537
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,750
If I recommend you,
538
00:39:24,750 --> 00:39:27,210
it surely will not be difficult.
539
00:39:27,210 --> 00:39:30,060
Prince, you're helping me?
540
00:39:30,060 --> 00:39:32,200
As long as you help me with one task,
541
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,640
I'll immediately see the Grand Minister in Attendance to promote you
542
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,500
once you're done with it.
543
00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:39,800
Don't say just one task.
544
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,930
Even if you ask me to go up a blade mountain or go down the sea of fire,
545
00:39:41,930 --> 00:39:44,050
I will do so to repay you for appreciating my skills.
546
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,570
It's just stepping on a little ant to kill it.
547
00:39:47,570 --> 00:39:49,260
I will just need you to exert some effort on lifting your leg.
548
00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:52,800
No need for you to go up a blade mountain or go down a sea of fire.
549
00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:18,990
One who owns the world is the world's master.
550
00:40:18,990 --> 00:40:23,040
One who heads a country is the country's ruler.
551
00:40:23,690 --> 00:40:26,760
I am already its master.
552
00:40:27,830 --> 00:40:30,560
What does this mean?
553
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,560
I am already its master...
554
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,510
King Wen of Zhou saw a decaying bone by the road.
555
00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:39,610
He then ordered his men to give it a proper burial.
556
00:40:39,610 --> 00:40:44,240
His officer asked him, "Why must we bother with a decaying bone which no one is claiming?"
557
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:46,220
King Wen answered,
558
00:40:46,220 --> 00:40:49,730
"If you're blessed to have the world, then you're the world's master.
559
00:40:49,730 --> 00:40:53,430
If you have a territory, then you're that country's ruler.
560
00:40:53,430 --> 00:40:57,610
Now, since I saw this bone, I then am its owner.
561
00:40:57,610 --> 00:41:00,390
How could I bear to see it just exposed out here in the wilderness?
562
00:41:00,390 --> 00:41:04,890
What this story means is an emperor who have the world
563
00:41:04,890 --> 00:41:08,250
is responsible for the all the citizens in its territory.
564
00:41:08,250 --> 00:41:10,550
He should give them adequate care.
565
00:41:10,550 --> 00:41:12,690
Am I right, Your Highness Empress?
566
00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:16,430
But, I'm just a lowly palace maid.
567
00:41:16,430 --> 00:41:20,420
What's the use of learning grand principles like this?
568
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:23,570
Each of us have a different status and position.
569
00:41:23,570 --> 00:41:28,250
We then have to bear their corresponding responsibilities. For example, the emperor.
570
00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:31,840
He must be diligent in governing, love his citizens, and share his blessings to everyone.
571
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:37,230
For example, me. I should manage the six palaces and be a motherly model to the world.
572
00:41:37,230 --> 00:41:40,850
And you, other than doing well on your designated duty,
573
00:41:40,850 --> 00:41:44,940
what else is there that you can do for others?
574
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,220
I feel that just having self-discipline
575
00:41:49,220 --> 00:41:51,590
is enough.
576
00:41:52,450 --> 00:41:55,280
If you're lacking, then pay attention on your moral uplift despite getting isolated.
577
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,130
If you're eminent, share it with the world.
578
00:41:58,130 --> 00:42:02,330
Let's just talk about that once I'm really well-off.
579
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:11,300
Yingluo, your elbow kept trembling.
580
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:13,070
How could you write well like that?
581
00:42:13,070 --> 00:42:16,190
Whenever I lift a brush,
582
00:42:16,190 --> 00:42:19,530
my elbow just involuntarily trembles.
583
00:42:22,830 --> 00:42:31,990
