Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 4

7

Wei Yingluo, what are you doing?

8

I should be asking you this question instead.

9

What woman doesn't want to pave a good path for herself? What did I do wrong?

10

Your so-called "paving a good path for yourself"

11

is to pretend to sprain your leg and make Fuca Fuheng support you,

12

and use this opportunity to climb up the social ladder?

13

Yes. Can't I do that?

14

He is a powerful child of a noble family.

15

He has seen many beautiful women.

16

Just by relying on your face, do you think he will carry you in a red sedan to enter the door? (T/N Marry her)

17

If I want to be a wife and not someone else's fool,

18

I'm willing to.

19

These people have pig's brains. Even a person without any sense of shame will think the same way too.

20

What is this place?

21

The Forbidden City. If a palace maid and an Imperial Guard commit adultery

22

and this is exposed,

23

he's the relative of the Imperial family and can easily get away with this.

24

As for you,

25

it's a dead-end for you.

26

I'm telling you this because we came out together today.

27

I don't want to be implicated by you.

28

If this were another time,

29

I won't stop you if you want to seek death.

30

The pot's calling the kettle black. You don't have the rights to lecture me.

31

- Say that again.

- You!

32

I'm going to deliver the clothes. Okay?

33

"People with pig's brains"?

34

"No sense of shame"?

35

Isn't that so, Wei Yingluo?

36

Miss Yingluo. It seems like you are biased towards men.

37

What about me and His Majesty?

38

Imperial Guard Fuca, you must be mistaken.

39

In this world, there are definitely many of those who deceive ignorant and gullible young women.

40

They have pig's brains and are without any sense of shame.

41

But His Majesty is the true Imperial Son of Heaven.

42

You are among the brave and talented.

43

How could you be mixed up with those people without any sense of shame?

44

Wei Yingluo, you are really good at weaseling your way out.

45

Imperial Guard Fuca, you are right in lecturing me.

46

I will be cautious, behave in the future

47

and conform to the rules.

48

Wei Yingluo.

49

Imperial Guard Fuca, are there any further instructions?

50

Regardless of what bias you have,

51

don't look down on men.

52

Imperial Guards in the palace are warriors.

53

Yes, I accept your lesson with humility.

54

Imperial Guard Fuca is here.

55

Fortunately, he's here.

56

He can always enter and leave Changchun Palace. Mistress can have one more person to lean on.

57

Do you think just anyone can enter and leave the Imperial palace?

58

Even if he's her younger brother, it's still a taboo.

59

His Majesty allows Her Highness and Imperial Guard Fuca to meet frequently

60

because he is very kind to Her Highness.

61

Fuheng, what are you trying to do?

62

Fuheng, return it to me!

63

Return it to me! Where is my item?

64

Where did you leave the longevity lock?

65

Help me to look for it!

66

No one is allowed to look for it!

67

Where's the longevity lock?

68

My longevity lock.

69

My longevity lock.

70

Who gave you the right to take my item? What gives you the right to mind my business?

71

It has been three years since Yonglian had the tragedy.

72

Three years have passed, and you are starting to cry and refusing to see people.

73

Even now, you are still not in your right state of mind and depressed.

74

Elder Sister, when are you going to stop grieving?

75

- Imperial Guard Fuca...

- Retreat.

76

Release me. Stop managing my business.

77

I don't want to manage it,

78

but I can't ignore it.

79

As long as you are still the offspring of the Fuca family

80

or the Empress of the Great Qing,

81

you shouldn't indulge in private grievances

82

and forget to shoulder your responsibilities.

83

I have never forgotten to shoulder my responsibilities.

84

Do you still dare to say that?

85

What the Empress ought to do?

86

What the Empress should be like?

87

Before you got married, what did your father repeatedly say, to avoid being embarrassed?

88

Once you stepped over the threshold of the Aisin-Gioro family, (T/N married into the ruling family)

89

you should make preparations for your life.

90

You!

91

What gives you the right to criticize me?

92

What gives you the right?

93

Just because I didn't manage the harem well?

94

Because I lack the ability to do so?

95

Why is it still so sad to have lost Yonglian?

96

I don't want to live with such extreme grief.

97

I was pregnant with him for ten months. (T/N by the Chinese calendar)

98

I was in pain for a day and a night before I gave birth to him.

99

He was the most important person in my life. My most beloved child!

100

If I really could,

101

I'd be willing to use my life to exchange for his life.

102

You have never experienced this kind of pain.

103

You don't have the right to criticize me!

104

- Elder Sister.

- Stop calling me.

105

You are standing here today. Did His Majesty tell you to come?

106

Go and tell him.

107

I will always be Yonglian's mother. Yonglian has left.

108

He can be indifferent but I can't.

109

So, you have always resented His Majesty.

110

Do you think that regarding Yonglian's premature death,

111

he has always been indifferent?

112

Other than the five days after Yonglian passed away,

113

when he was in deep sorrow and grief,

114

he subsequently seems to have forgotten about the child.

115

He went to the Imperial court, as though nothing had happened,

116

to handle his government affairs. Of course,

117

it didn't matter to him.

118

He has many women to give birth to a child for him.

119

He can have many sons in the future,

120

but I don't have any.

121

I don't have any. I only had Yonglian.

122

I only had one son.

123

My lock.

124

My lock.

125

My lock.

126

Move aside.

127

Elder Sister, I know you resent me a lot,

128

but there are certain things which you detest but I still need to do them.

129

It's because I'm your biological younger brother.

130

Other than Father and Mother, I care about you the most.

131

Erqing said you are fine during the day.

132

When it's evening, you sit on the ground till daybreak.

133

Mother is very worried about you.

134

After she last saw you, she kept crying later.

135

She said you have changed into another person.

136

Although you still love to talk and smile,

137

none of your smiles are genuine.

138

Elder Sister.

139

She's our mother.

140

How could your pretense escape her eyes?

141

Mother also said if she had known earlier,

142

even if she fought desperately for her life,

143

she didn't want this splendor and wealth.

144

When Father heard this, he quarreled with her.

145

He felt bad for entrusting you under His Majesty's care.

146

He felt bad for the Aisin-Gioro family

147

for raising such a weak daughter.

148

When Gao Bin was the Governor of Jiangnan, the late Emperor trusted and re-used him.

149

He even rewarded Madam Gao and promoted her as Secondary Consort. (T/N lower than Princess Consort to Prince Bao)

150

Second only to you. (T/N Empress Fuca was the Princess Consort Bao - the legal difujin over the two cefujin)

151

Now, the power of the Gao family has greatly increased.

152

They are also involved in the internal strife between Zhang Tingyu's party and Ortai.

153

A slight change will affect the overall situation.

154

Elder Sister. As the Empress, if you don't stand up again,

155

you will only make it more difficult for His Majesty.

156

There's something which His Majesty wants me to hand over to you.

157

Once you have regained your good mood, open it and take a look.

158

Your Highness Consort Chun.

159

May I boldly ask Your Highness to help me.

160

Mistress, Her Highness Consort Chun is here.

161

Greetings to Your Highness the Empress.

162

Rise.

163

How is your body?

164

I'm quite fragile, I fall ill whenever I catch a little breeze during the changing of seasons.

165

After taking two batches of medicines, I'm feeling better now.

166

Those are old problems, Your Highness doesn't need to worry.

167

That's good, I was going to visit you initially.

168

When I was here the last time,

169

I noticed that your eyes were little red, I plucked some chrysanthemums,

170

I had Hongluo sieve them through boiling water.

171

Your Highness can put them under the eyes later on, and have some steam to infuse them.

172

You'll be feeling a lot better afterwards.

173

But careful to not hurt your eyes.

174

Consort Chun is so meticulous. the last medicinal cushion you brought over,

175

Her Highness has been using it well.

176

The wick grass and the peach tree branch need to be exchanged regularly.

177

When the cushion gets old, I'll have someone bring over a new one.

178

Consort Chun, you smell very fragrant.

179

Which fragrant powder are you using?

180

My mistress never uses any fragrant powder.

181

The fragrance you mentioned, do you mean the one from the clothes?

182

Besides the smell of soap on the clothes,

183

what fragrance is there?

184

When washing clothes in our palace, we'd add washing fragrance.

185

A powder made from peonies and spikenard essential oil. (T/N this oil comes from Nardostachys jatamansi)

186

Adding it during the rinsing phase, the clothes will have a natural scent afterwards.

187

This is habit my mistress always had before entering the palace.

188

Yuhu...

189

If Your Highness likes it, I'll have it sent over tomorrow.

190

Consort Chun, you are smart and talented.

191

If you'd spend half as much effort on

192

on His Majesty compared to me,

193

it would be such a good thing.

194

Your Highness, you are not a fish, how can you understand the happiness of being one?

195

I'm already satisfied when I can spend time around you.

196

I never have hoped for the graces from His Majesty.

197

You...

198

You only made a pot of tea, why are your eyes so red?

199

It's nothing, when I used boiling water just now,

200

I accidentally steamed them.

201

You were crying?

202

I didn't, didnt.

203

Empress, I'm speaking up boldly for Hongluo.

204

No, no, I'm okay, Consort Chun, please don't say anything.

205

Consort Chun, continue.

206

When I entered the inner court just now.

207

I saw Hongluo being sullen.

208

I asked her about it, she was being incoherent.

209

Later on, I found out

210

she turned twenty-five last year, she's qualified to leave the palace.

211

But apparently her betrothed didn't want to wait,

212

and wants to marry someone else.

213

Hongluo, why didn't you talk to me?

214

Your Highness, Hongluo by her age is qualified indeed to leave the palace.

215

- But...

- They should normally report to Your Highness,

216

to let Hongluo leave the palace and get married.

217

But Your Highness was in a bad mood.

218

No one wanted to disturb you with a small matter.

219

One thing led to another, the matter has been put off.

220

The female servants who reach the qualified age to leave the palace,

221

is a small matter to me indeed.

222

But to them, it's no small matter. It's a matter that impacts their entire lives.

223

Go to the Imperial Household Department immediately and sign up Hongluo!

224

Yes.

225

Hongluo, I will grant you a set dowry,

226

so that you can get married extravagantly.

227

I will never forget about Your Highness' benevolence and mercy!

228

Rise.

229

You can leave now.

230

Your Highness is very tolerant, and leads the harem diligently.

231

There's no one better than you.

232

Hongluo is walking in front of me every day.

233

I was totally in the dark...

234

Changchun Palace is under my eyes,

235

how could such a mistake have happened?

236

Let alone, the entire Forbidden Palace?

237

How many mistakes are happening every day?

238

I'm an Empress who has neglected her duty.

239

Consort Chun, I understand now.

240

What?

241

Fuheng has asked you to help,

242

but you could not tell me directly.

243

So you let me see through this matter

244

the consequences of neglecting one's duty.

245

Your Highness, Young Master Fuca said

246

that you have to take a look at the box he left for you.

247

Maybe it'll open your mind.

248

The Emperor who was chosen by heaven proclaims

249

Yonglian, my legitimate child,

250

is intelligent, precious and extraordinary.

251

Implicitly showing the signs of bearing great responsibilities.

252

After I ascended to the throne, he kept to the established laws and regulations.

253

I hereby personally write down that he is to be named the crown prince,

254

this decree is to be hidden behind the "Open and Above Board" plaque at Qianqing Palace.

255

Qianlong, seventh (lunar) month, second day, first year of reign

256

Your Highness, what's wrong?

257

Your Highness.

258

He named Yonglian,

259

as the Crown Prince.

260

When Yonglian was alive,

261

he was already Qing Dynasty's Crown Prince.

262

This is a good thing.

263

The day he ascended to the throne, he had already named his successor.

264

For Yonglian,

265

he had high hopes.

266

But I hated him, blamed him.

267

I wanted him to be like me.

268

But he is the Emperor.

269

He's the Emperor of Great Qing.

270

He is the Emperor...

271

Your Highness...

272

His Majesty must have been heartbroken as well.

273

Please don't blame him any longer.

274

It's all my fault.

275

I couldn't protect Yonglian.

276

He didn't only lose a son,

277

he also lost his Crown Prince he just named.

278

And I... All these years...

279

I only let myself live in pain.

280

I didn't fulfill my duty as an Empress.

281

I was wrong, I was wrong...

282

I was so completely wrong...

283

My father was right,

284

I'm a sinner in the Aisin-Gioro family.

285

In the Aisin-Gioro family,

286

I'm the sinner...

287

No, Your Highness, you weren't at fault.

288

It's destiny's fault, it took the Second Prince away.

289

The destiny took away your life.

290

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

291

Your Majesty, it's already san-geng hour. (T/N 11:00 pm to 1:00 am. Twelve "hours", each two hours long)

292

You should rest.

293

Yes.

294

Erqing, Empress should be awake.

295

Her Highness is unwell in her health. Let her rest more.

296

But the consorts will come to pay respect to her soon.

297

Then do as usual, spare it.

298

All of you, come in.

299

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

300

Dress me.

301

Yes.

302

Usually when I have invited you for tea,

303

you'd put it off and won't come.

304

But now you're quite diligent.

305

It's my duty to greet the Her Highness the Empress and wish her health.

306

If Empress won't wake up, she shouldn't let us wait in vain.

307

Imperial Concubine Jia, let's go.

308

Yes, Your Highness.

309

I haven't arrived and someone wants to leave?

310

Are we too much in a rush?

311

Greetings to Your Highness the Empress.

312

I thought Your Highness forgot again about the greeting.

313

Noble Consort Gao.

314

I remember when you first came into the manor,

315

you were so good at pouring tea.

316

How come you're getting more unruly as the years pass?

317

Maybe once we came into the palace

318

and you were installed as the Noble Consort, you forgot what the hierarchy of status means?

319

All of my sisters, you are excused from formality.

320

Thank you, Your Highness.

321

Since we're all gathered today,

322

there are a few things I need to bring up.

323

I am usually sick.

324

So many things in the palace have gone undone despite my care.

325

Now I am much better,

326

so these matters should be tended to.

327

- Noble Lady Yu.

- Yes.

328

You're pregnant with a royal heir but you've always suffered from weak health.

329

You need someone capable watching over you.

330

Other than the royal physicians required to check your pulse daily,

331

the Internal Affairs Bureau will send a few sharp and skilled hands to care after you.

332

Of course, if someone continues to be blind

333

and be offensive, you can come to me all you want.

334

I will seek justice for you.

335

Thank you, Empress, for your care.

336

Rise.

337

Also, Imperial Concubine Yi.

338

So young in age and she left.

339

Such a regrettable and lamentable matter.

340

I will ask His Majesty to bury her honorably.

341

As for her family, they will be settled well too.

342

Your Highness the Empress.

343

Imperial Concubine Yi killed herself.

344

If I am to speak ugly words, if it were a palace maid committing this grave offense,

345

the family would be beheaded or exiled.

346

Today you are speaking of an honorable burial?

347

Could it be that

348

Empress wants everyone to follow suit?

349

I said Imperial Concubine Yi died from illness.

350

But you claim she hung herself, Noble Consort Gao.

351

Who is really right?

352

Consort Chun?

353

Surely Your Highness the Empress is right.

354

Consort Xian?

355

Yes.

356

And all you other sisters?

357

How would the Empress be wrong? Naturally it was death due to illness.

358

Look then.

359

Even a newly-entered Noble Lady is more aware of the rules than Noble Consort Gao.

360

How shocking.

361

Empress!

362

Sure. If Empress says she died from illness, then we’ll regard it as such.

363

I may be able to forgive and move on from what’s happened in the palace already.

364

However from now on, if anyone should cause disturbance

365

I shall absolutely not overlook it.

366

Is that all clear to you, Sisters?

367

Whore!

368

The Empress usually never pays attention to the inner palace matters.

369

Why did she go against the usual and suddenly appear today?

370

If you ask me, who do I ask?

371

In my opinion, if the Empress really gets back up...

372

A sickly cat is always still a sickly cat.

373

A rare roar, and that still doesn’t make her the tigress.

374

She’s not paid heed to matters for so long already.

375

She wants to reclaim the authority to mind matters now?

376

That’s not so easily done.

377

Your Highness' words are so precise.

378

However with the Empress watching now,

379

we may need to be more vigilant in our conduct.

380

We will see about that.

381

Let’s see how long she can make that breath last.

382

Your Highness, are you alright?

383

Forgive me, Consort Xian. I am with offense!

384

Where are your eyes? You bumped into her straight on!

385

You’ve dirtied up her nice clothes.

386

That’s enough, Zhen’er.

387

You’re not injured?

388

Rise.

389

Yes. Thank you, Your Highness.

390

Be careful walking in the future.

391

What’s wrong?

392

Consort Xian. My mother is gravely ill.

393

But the supervising ward won’t let me visit her.

394

I am so worried I won’t get to see my mother for the last time.

395

That’s why I walked in a daze.

396

Which palace do you belong to?

397

I am from Ruyi Hall.

398

If you’re telling the truth,

399

I will speak with Supervisor Wu to release you for a sick visit.

400

Thank you, Your Highness!

401

Your Highness Consort Xian, I will never forget your merciful grace!

402

Sister, you are titled as Consort Xian, meaning "virtue".

403

Everyone in the Forbidden City knows this,

404

And I have found out.

405

You are revered and loved by everyone in the palace.

406

That is not a title you earned for no reason.

407

Just a helping hand. Nothing worth mentioning.

408

Many helping hands added together.

409

Everyone in the palace sees it.

410

No wonder Noble Consort Gao wants to be on your good side too.

411

You are making a joke.

412

Today the Empress was drastically different than before.

413

I believe it’s your merit.

414

Sister, you are overthinking.

415

Before, Her Highness didn't like to manage the affairs because she's sick.

416

Now that her health has greatly improved, she surely must return in managing the harem.

417

In the past, when the eight of us were still attending at the Prince Bao Manor,

418

other than the deceased Consort Zhe,

419

there were Empress, Noble Consort Gao, Imperial Concubine Jia, Noble Lady Yu, and Noble Lady Wan.

420

I actually can see clearly what each one wants,

421

except for you, Consort Chun.

422

Until now, I can't see it clearly.

423

What exactly do you want to point at, Consort Xian?

424

Among we eight, in terms of appearance and talent,

425

you are the most outstanding.

426

But within a year, I never saw you showcasing this even once.

427

It's as if you're always sick.

428

My health is weak and it has dragged me down.

429

But when Empress needs you to be around,

430

you will be by her side.

431

I understand. Empress is the mother of the nation. She commands the six palaces.

432

Being close to her will indeed be beneficial.

433

But Sister, you never asked for anything.

434

Tell me, what do you really want?

435

Aren't you the one who is truly without worldly desires?

436

Glory, splendor, wealth, and fame, all those desires, you don't get involved with any of them.

437

In your heart, His Majesty is the most important.

438

Look at you. You can clearly see through everyone.

439

But what about you? I just couldn't fully understand you.

440

Since you're not attending the tea gathering of Noble Consort Gao,

441

will you accept my invitation to admire the flowers?

442

If it's purely just to admire the flowers,

443

of course, I will be happy too.

444

But if it involves others, then forgive for disrespectfully refusing it.

445

Sister, while living in the Forbidden City,

446

it won't be easy to isolate one's self for preservation of integrity.

447

I don't ask for that, but I ask to have a guilt-free conscience.

448

Sister, I'll take my leave.

449

Sister Zhilan.

450

You are?

451

We are embroidery maidens. Supervisor Zhang told us to bring the finished spring clothes here.

452

Is there an issue?

453

Look how we're all wearing the same palace maid outfits,

454

but when you wear it, you stand out so much.

455

And the embroidered flower by the collar is so pretty.

456

I can tell right away you're a skillful person.

457

You're pretty good at talking.

458

But pity that scented pouch.

459

If it's touched up with some cyan threads, it'd be prettier.

460

Sister, I actually have cyan-colored threads on me.

461

If you don't mind,

462

I'll add it on for you now.

463

Linglong, we need to rush back to the embroidery house.

464

What's there to be scared of? Go back and tell your Momo Zhang

465

that I thought this girl was pretty sharp, so I kept her for a chat.

466

You come with me.

467

The skills of the embroidery house maidens are good indeed.

468

The added color adds more balance.

469

This is nothing though. There's a girl named Yingluo in our house.

470

She's not only exceptional in her embroidery skills, she's also a sharp mind.

471

Last time, if it weren't for her, none of us would have known the loquat ointment was so complicated!

472

What did you say? Loquat ointment?

473

Yes.

474

Yingluo mentioned in Yonghe Palace last time about her childhood days, when she accidentally ate a loquat pit.

475

If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have known the young leaves are poisonous and can't be used for medicine.

476

Sister, did I say something wrong?

477

Of course not. We're just chatting.

478

I am relieved then.

479

Sister, I thought you'd be bored by me coming to chat out of nowhere.

480

I didn't realize what a nice person you really are.

481

By the way, that palace maid you mentioned.

482

Her name is Yingluo?

483

Wei Yingluo.

484

Pretty good.

485

- Yingluo, what are you embroidering?

- I'm embroidering the clouds tinged with sunset hues.

486

You can embroider all things in the world,

487

except that the clouds at sunset are hard to embroider.

488

Every time you embroider it, it just looks like a cloud. How meaningless.

489

You all come look.

490

She embroidered it so well.

491

Yingluo, you used the full embroidery technique?

492

I thought only the full embroidery technique can show the clouds tinged with sunset hues.

493

Look. This is red, gradually fading to white.

494

Then progressing to blue.

495

Then you can experience the gradation of the sunset clouds.

496

The red glow against the blue sky, contrasting each other.

497

It's indeed quite beautiful.

498

Supervisor, I want to embroider it on clothing.

499

Maybe the noble women would like them.

500

Miss Zhilan, what brings you here?

501

Is Her Highness unhappy with the spring attire?

502

We needn't have troubled you for your personal trip here.

503

You could send a palace maid with word and I'd come to Chuxiu Palace right away.

504

Noble Consort is indeed unhappy with the embroidery, so she wants a different look.

505

I hear you've got a Wei Yingluo here with exceptional skills.

506

Have her come with me.

507

Alright then. Let me give her some instructions.

508

Noble Consort sent an order, so we don't dare to delay.

509

Let's go, hurry up!

510

Yingluo. Yingluo!

511

Supervisor Zhang, I feel like something's off!

512

Did that Wei Yingluo commit some grave crime?

513

Who knows.

514

I guess the good show is about to begin.

515

What's going on?

516

I bid the two mistresses wellness!

517

You are Wei Yingluo?

518

Yes. Your Highness!

519

Why are you so loud? I'm not deaf.

520

Quieter.

521

I have been a loud talker since I was young.

522

Supervisor hit me many times already.

523

No. No.

524

I can't change.

525

You said young leaves of loquat are poisonous?

526

Yes.

527

It's poisonous. You can't eat it.

528

Noble Consort, look.

529

It really is her.

530

Noble Consort, you want to eat loquat too?

531

But you can't eat the pit and don't touch the young leaves.

532

They are both poisonous.

533

When I was little, I loved to eat so much. Once...

534

I accidentally ate too much.

535

Vomiting and diarrhea.

536

I almost died. Last time!

537

The mistress in Yonghe Palace wanted to eat loquat too.

538

I told her not to.

539

So dangerous.

540

What is this mess?

541

Incoherent and unintelligible!

542

What are you staring at?

543

Noble Consort, what are you eating?

544

I've never eaten rice glue balls before.

545

This is lotus-root powder balls.

546

I'm talking to you, stop sidetracking.

547

Noble Consort, this foolish maid seems to be a little stupid.

548

You, approach me.

549

Have you ever eaten lotus-root powder balls before?

550

I will grant this bowl to you.

551

Do you want more?

552

So delicious!
