Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

20

Episode 10

21

Let me tell you. Today is the birthday of the Mistress.

22

His Majesty will definitely be here. Do a good job of cleaning up.

23

- Eunuch Li.

- Today is Concubine Ruyi's birthday. His Majesty has some matters and is unable to leave.

24

Thus, he instructed me to deliver the gift to her first,

25

She is in there. I will bring you in.

26

Where is Suoxin?

27

She's cooking in the kitchen. She has good cooking skills.

28

This way, please.

29

Happy birthday, Mistress. You will look good in this red garment.

30

This is too bright.

31

Older sister, wear the one in purple then.

32

It has gold ornaments and white jade. They complement each other.

33

Fine. You love blue and I love purple.

34

These two colors complement each other.

35

Mistress, Eunuch Li is here.

36

My greetings to everyone.

37

I was specially instructed by His Majesty

38

to deliver this gift to you.

39

His Majesty is not coming?

40

His gift is here first.

41

One is a gold orchid.

42

The other is a lotus flower.

43

Older sister, when you look at it, it's just like rose.

44

His Majesty said that there is a profound meaning in this.

45

I'm taking my leave.

46

Older sister, I don't have anything rare to offer as a gift.

47

I feel that fragrance pouch last time is bad luck, so I made a new one.

48

Each needle and thread on it represents my affection towards you.

49

I made two, one for you and one for me.

50

I wish Sister a happy birthday.

51

Your sewing is really so ingenious.

52

I surely will keep this.

53

Actually, as long as the person is around, the reunions are the best.

54

From now on, our Yanxi Palace must rely on Eunuch Li's care.

55

Eunuch Sanbao.

56

The ingredients are complete.

57

Okay. I got it.

58

- Let me tell you, Xiao Fuzi, if there's one ingredient less, you'll get punished for it.

- Yes.

59

Go then.

60

Eunuch Li.

61

Please.

62

You're looking for me?

63

Here, for you.

64

Today, is Mistress Xian's birthday. You are always being oppressed by A'Ruo and can't doll yourself up.

65

All good things are being taken by her first.

66

And you still gave me such a beautiful velvet flower. Aren't you afraid that she'll take them?

67

What A'Ruo wants are expensive items. She won't like a velvet flower like that.

68

Wear it for good luck, glory, splendor, and promotion.

69

Thank you for remembering me.

70

Why still thank me? You, me, and Jiang Yubin, we all came from the same place,

71

from the same hometown. It's just right that we take care of each other.

72

I can't see it, so I'm unable to wear it.

73

Then...let me help put it on you.

74

No need. I'll put it on when I go back.

75

I'll go back then.

76

Where did you go loiter around?

77

Mistress said that First Class Attendant Hai's mugwort is almost used up. Go to the Bureau of Imperial Physicians to get some.

78

I'll immediately go.

79

You dare to change the prescription based on your personal preference?

80

You didn't even assess your own weight first.

81

I just feel that changing it into atractylodes

82

might make the drug effect milder.

83

Such mischief! So preposterous!

84

A lowly imperial physician who only sees palace servants,

85

you actually dared give rash judgment?

86

Listen to me well.

87

If you do this again, don't bother staying here in the bureau anymore!

88

Lord...

89

You got scolded by Imperial Physician Zhao?

90

I'm used to it. I lack experience.

91

It's common to get scolded at.

92

I know that you've been diligently training in medicine.

93

You surely will succeed one day.

94

I sewed this. It is indeed a bit too plain,

95

but at least, it won't be too showy when worn.

96

When you do your medical consults, you can place some mint inside

97

to make you more alert.

98

Thanks.

99

I surely will always carry this with me.

100

That velvet flower on your hair is so pretty.

101

Really?

102

It's getting late. First Class Attendant Hai is still waiting to use these mugwort leaves.

103

I'll go back now.

104

Greetings, Your Majesty.

105

Come.

106

The birthday celebrant still personally came out to welcome me?

107

Your Majesty came to celebrate my birthday with me, how can I not welcome you?

108

Let's go.

109

Here, Ruyi, let me give you a toast.

110

Thank you, Your Majesty.

111

I know that you love to eat silver noodles,

112

hence, I had them make one this morning and deliver them here.

113

Today, I'll eat some noodles with you.

114

It's for long life.

115

It's good to have long life.

116

But once you've become an old woman, full of wrinkles, what's fun with that?

117

You're still pretty even if you're old.

118

That's so scary. Won't I become an old witch then?

119

It's good that you're not angry.

120

I went to Noble Consort last night and left you.

121

Noble Consort is unwell.

122

It's just right that you keep her company.

123

Noble Consort's health is unwell and is even feeling vexed.

124

She kept telling me that she wants to raise Yonghuang.

125

With that health of hers,

126

Yonghuang is currently very naughty. Why must she insist on keeping him by her side?

127

Having no children, Noble Consort must be feeling lonely.

128

She's lonely, but aren't you?

129

Of course, I want to have my own children.

130

Let's just go with the flow.

131

That hairpin of yours suits you well.

132

This must be your new trick.

133

Usually, the flower used to represent marital bliss is lotus, but you just have to choose roses.

134

Roses are colorful and pretty, have a lot of thorns.

135

They all say that it's hard to make an accessory out of it.

136

I then just have to choose it to gift to you.

137

Roses have many thorns...

138

Your Majesty is indirectly pointing at my flaws.

139

Roses indeed has many thorns. Making people wanting to pick it more.

140

So adorable.

141

Your Majesty, please taste this. This is silver noodles with shepherd's purse and meat shreds.

142

For long life, eat some noodles.

143

These popular shepherd's purse is really good.

144

Nothing can compare to it. It's rare that you have such interest.

145

My interests are just these.

146

Making Your Majesty eat delicious food, sleep soundly,

147

and that everything will go your way. That's enough.

148

Ruyi, although I don't come here to your place everyday,

149

I always think of you in my heart.

150

Every time I come to your place, my heart

151

always feel so at peace.

152

Your Majesty, today is my birthday.

153

I have one wish that I hope can be fulfilled through your golden mouth.

154

I've been with you for so many years. Whatever you want,

155

just say it to me.

156

No matter if my words might sound like I don't know the immensity of the heaven and earth (exaggerated/not prudent),

157

may Your Majesty allow it.

158

As long as you don't ask me

159

to make you the Empress, other requests won't be hard for me.

160

My wish has nothing to do with me, just with you.

161

Oh? Tell me then. Get up and tell me.

162

After the former emperor died, the imperial consorts that were left in the Forbidden City

163

were all conferred titles by you and all transferred to Shoukang Palace to live the rest of their lives.

164

Those imperial consorts at the outside palaces were also being provided for by Her Highness Empress.

165

I'm thinking that since the living are being supported,

166

are we not going to care about those who have died?

167

May Your Majesty consider that they once served the Former Emperor.

168

Please confer posthumous titles on those without any status to show your filial piety.

169

The one you're talking about is...

170

The imperial concubine of the Former Emperor in the Rehe Temporary Palace, Li Jingui.

171

There are some people

172

that you can remember in your heart, but not said.

173

But Lady Li is different.

174

Lady Li is just a palace maid that the Former Emperor had one night with.

175

He never gave her any status. How then will I give her any posthumous title?

176

Your Majesty knows very well what merit Lady Li has provided to the empire.

177

It's just that there are so many meritorious subjects of Qing and you need not provide for all of them.

178

But may you in consideration of the Former Emperor

179

posthumously confer Lady Li as Noble Lady Dowager.

180

Include her in the list of imperial wives of the Former Emperor, so as to preserve her reputation.

181

Posthumously conferring titles to people who was never conferred any titles by the Former Emperor,

182

Royal Mother will surely get mad.

183

It's just posthumously giving titles of Imperial Concubine Dowager and Noble Lady Dowager.

184

The title needn't be too high. It's enough that the intentions are showed.

185

It's way better than leaving the tomb of Lady Li out there in the distant Rehe,

186

overgrown with grasses, facing the setting sun, a solitary grave with rare incenses, very desolate.

187

If I did that, people will suspect my relationship with her.

188

The Former Emperor said when he was still alive that I'm a son of the Niuhulu clan.

189

Of course, you are the son of Empress Dowager.

190

That's why, you're posthumously conferring only titles of Imperial Concubine Dowager and Noble Lady Dowager.

191

I understand the difficulties in your heart.

192

I just want to make you more comfortable.

193

Today is your birthday. Rest early.

194

Your Majesty!

195

Why must you make such a wish to me?

196

Why?!

197

Your Majesty, please calm down. My auntie was a sinner who committed high treason.

198

Former Emperor couldn't tolerate her and she got buried so haphazardly.

199

I just don't want someone dear to me to pass into silence just like Auntie,

200

even unable to get the status that she deserved.

201

202

Your Majesty?

203

Mistress.

204

Mistress, how come His Majesty left?

205

Today is your birthday. How come he went to First Class Attendant Hai's room?

206

Don't make an issue.

207

A'Ruo, leave first.

208

Yes.

209

Suoxin, stay behind.

210

Mistress,

211

you still told him?

212

As a son,

213

there are a lot of things the he can't clearly say,

214

but I know that he has always remembered the birthday of his birth mother

215

and that he wanted to show her filial piety.

216

I said his true intention today.

217

Hope that His Majesty can fulfill what he desires.

218

But today is your birthday.

219

His Majesty didn't even finish your meal together and just left.

220

He obviously got mad.

221

It's really not worth it.

222

What? You haven't served me for that long

223

that you've forgotten the rules?

224

I was wrong.

225

It's just that today is Sister Consort Xian's birthday.

226

Your Majesty coming here to my place...

227

Is there anything wrong with that?

228

My place is a bit too simple and crude.

229

Maybe Your Majesty want to go to Her Highness Empress' chambers instead.

230

I don't want to go out of Yanxi Palace.

231

Yes.

232

- Your Majesty.

- Don't talk to me.

233

Only in your place will there be no one that will annoy me.

234

Yes.

235

What's going on? Why did His Majesty come to my place today?

236

I heard that His Majesty got angry at Mistress Yu.

237

Go and clean up Nuan Pavilion. I'll sleep there today.

238

But it's rare that His Majesty is here for the first time.

239

Today is Sister's birthday.

240

If I really attend to him tonight, what kind of person would I have become?

241

Even if you sleep in the Nuan Pavilion, no one will know your intentions.

242

All will think that you've attended to His Majesty tonight.

243

I'm doing this for Sister and for myself.

244

Why must I care what other people understand?

245

During this season, there's not much delicious fruits.

246

That red bayberry that His Majesty gave me yesterday is not bad.

247

I know that His Majesty dotes on you.

248

He always gift you the trendiest items first.

249

I still can't compare to you.

250

Your Highness Noble Consort, look who's coming.

251

First Class Attendant Hai, come over here! It's cooler here.

252

Come!

253

Stupid thing.

254

Look at how she's walking. It's as if someone owed her 300 hangs.

255

How come His Majesty even liked her before?

256

Don't talk first.

257

Greetings, Noble Consort, Noble Lady Jia,

258

and Noble Lady Yi.

259

First Class Attendant Hai, it's almost 2 months.

260

His Majesty has not went to your Yanxi Palace again?

261

Yes. His Majesty is busy with state affairs.

262

That day during Consort Xian's birthday, didn't His Majesty left Consort Xian and went to your room?

263

The whole palace already knows about it.

264

Consort Xian doesn't really know to earn His Majesty liking.

265

When His Majesty went to your place, was he very unhappy?

266

Noble Lady Jia, you know me.

267

In front of His Majesty, I couldn't even dare raise my head.

268

How would I know what his mood is?

269

You already are having it good. Since you moved into Yanxi Palace,

270

His Majesty can always visit you in passing.

271

His Majesty didn't vent anything on you that day?

272

I'm clumsy in speech.

273

His Majesty didn't talk much with me.

274

Looking at how you are, you're really so boring.

275

If I'm His Majesty, I also won't like you.

276

Let's go. I still have some honey dew in my palace. Let's go taste it.

277

Sure.

278

Rare item...

279

How is it?

280

Eunuch Qin, we've already distributed the allowances for this month.

281

It's just that for Yanxi Palace...

282

You didn't give them, right?

283

Following your orders,

284

we didn't distribute it.

285

- Delay them.

- Yes.

286

That A'Ruo of Yanxi Palace is so arrogant.

287

Just because of a little doting, she already dared to order us around.

288

This time, let's make them suffer.

289

Eunuch, it's also time to distribute the fabrics for the summer dresses.

290

Distribute all of them then.

291

As for the ones for Yanxi Palace...

292

Don't bother with these.

293

Just go to the stockroom, choose something good, and deliver it to them.

294

Yes.

295

Those snobs, the allowance for this month didn't arrive again.

296

And those fabrics for the summer, what were those?!

297

Sister A'Ruo lower down your voice.

298

Mistress is still inside.

299

The proportion per palace has already been reduced to half. This time, there's almost none.

300

If we keep silent, will it be fine to not eat or sleep anymore? I'll go to the Internal Affairs Department now.

301

Sister A'Ruo, don't get agitated.

302

If you go, you'll just cause a ruckus and give them a reason to laugh at.

303

No, I must go.

304

Sister A'Ruo!

305

Hai Lan.

306

Sister.

307

These are the summer fabrics sent by the Internal Affairs Department?

308

Clothes made from Tianxiang tafettas like this

309

is quite cool when worn in the summer.

310

It's quite not bad.

311

Look inside.

312

How come all are damaged?

313

The Internal Affairs Department actually dared to brush you off like this?

314

No wonder, A'Ruo was very angry.

315

Everyone outside is laughing at you.

316

How come Sister still can hold your anger and sew this?

317

It wasn't easy for the painter in Ruyi Hall to find this 'Traveling though mountains in spring' painting.

318

If I don't maintain my cool and sew it, must I go out and let others criticize me?

319

Mistress, it's time for your meal.

320

It's too simple and tasteless.

321

And that soup, didn't we send it back yesterday?

322

How come they delivered it again?

323

Our monthly allowance from Internal Affairs Department didn't arrive. The kitchen can't start cooking.

324

These were given by the Imperial Kitchen.

325

How can this be allowed? You mustn't eat this, Sister.

326

I'll just make do.

327

Look at how gallant Her Highness Noble Consort is.

328

Eunuch Qin!

329

What are you doing?

330

The summer fabrics that your Internal Affairs Department delivered are all damaged. Who will wear those?

331

Damaged?

332

It must be because there is too much bad luck in Yanxi Palace, that those fabrics got destroyed.

333

You... you are spouting nonsense!

334

Let's not talk about those fabrics first. How come the allowance for our palace is short too?

335

Did it? Have you forgotten?

336

During the end of the year, all of the items used by Yanxi Palace were the best ones.

337

The Internal Affairs Department even had to spend our own money to make up for the deficits.

338

Now that it's almost Summer, shouldn't we find ways to get these used money back?

339

I've calculated it. Based on how I'm deducting the money,

340

Yanxi Palace needs to pay until this time next year.

341

When did Yanxi Palace asked for anything and owned the Internal Affairs Department money?

342

Where's the loan note? Where's the loan fund?

343

Loan note? There's none.

344

They are all recorded in my head.

345

Moreover, how can there be a mistress owning money from a servant and not paying it?

346

If this gets out, she'll be laughed at.

347

It's because you can see that our Yanxi Palace has lost the Emperor's favor, that's why, your pinching on which persimmon is soft, am I right?

348

You're wrong.

349

Being able to anger His Majesty to the point that he walked out,

350

Yanxi Palace has become a rotten persimmon.

351

Move aside! Don't disturb me from delivering items to Qixiang Palace.

352

Go away...

353

You...

354

Damn servant, just you wait!

355

That's really what Qin Lizhen said?

356

How can I dare to say lies? The Internal Affairs Department people are really insulting us.

357

It is indeed hard on you all.

358

If the money isn't enough, I still have some savings there. Go fill the deficits.

359

If it still not enough, I still have some items there from my maiden family. Go pawn them.

360

We need money in this palace for everything. I'm thinking,

361

rather than going through hardships and relying on other people's whim,

362

why don't you go discuss it with your maiden family?

363

It's enough to keep one's unbearable situation in the palace to oneself.

364

Must I still tell it to my maiden family and make them worry?

365

I'm thinking that they are your blood-related family after all—

366

It is exactly because we're blood related, that's why, I don't want to drag them into this trouble.

367

Sister, I still have some savings.

368

No need. We all are not having it easy.

369

A'Ruo, keep those Tianxiang taffata.

370

Sister, they're all damaged. Why keep them? Just throw them away.

371

Since they dared to deliver it here, they eventually will be of use in the future.

372

373

Even if you don't say it, I know what it is.

374

But now, no one dares to mention Mistress Xian.

375

Wang Qin is also always in front of His Majesty.

376

Even if I want to say anything, I couldn't butt in.

377

But now, only you are able to say some things in front of His Majesty.

378

I'll think of a way.

379

His Majesty just came back from the ancestral temple. He's also not around right now.

380

He went to Mistress Chun.

381

Your Majesty, have a taste. These are apricots delivered by the Imperial Farm in Yongping.

382

It's best in increasing salivation and quenching your thirst.

383

Is it delicious?

384

It's too sour. I don't like it.

385

Consort Xian loves eating sour food.

386

Why don't I deliver a box to her?

387

If you want to give her, just do. No need to tell me.

388

Have you went to visit Yongzhang?

389

That child Yongzhang lacks innate talent. He's already more than a year old but is still not talking.

390

Your Majesty, Yongzhang is still small. He'll get smarter.

391

If you have time, go check on him. I'm going back to Yangxin Palace now.

392

Respectfully sending off Your Majesty!

393

Your Majesty's eyes don't really have Yongzhang.

394

He doesn't love him at all.

395

It's because you mentioned Consort Xian, that's why, His Majesty got angry.

396

He's just saying angry words.

397

I just feel pity for her.

398

Don't know how Consort Xian offended His Majesty.

399

You better not say anything about it already.

400

Mistress, I heard that His Majesty went to the ancestral temple and is already back.

401

I told you to look for old fabrics to make summer clothes for the servants. Have you found them?

402

I've already found some and distributed them

403

to prevent people here from causing any disturbances.

404

I was reckless and brought you all trouble.

405

How about First Prince?

406

I know that you care a lot about First Prince. I've followed your instructions

407

and would deliver him food secretly, avoiding his nannies, every several days.

408

Okay.

409

I'll take my leave.

410

How come you're leaving already?

411

I'm done playing and should leave now.

412

Okay. Just come again tomorrow.

413

My pipa isn't catching your attention.

414

Why don't you just let Noble Consort play one tomorrow?

415

When you play the pipa, I can at least stay quiet for a while.

416

When Noble Consort is around, sometimes, I find it too noisy.

417

Just go back first.

418

I will take my leave.

419

Your Majesty.

420

What tea is this? It tasted very weird.

421

Her Highness Empress gave instructions that since the weather has gotten warmer,

422

the one to be prepared for you is maidong tea which can decrease the heat.

423

Empress is so considerate. Since it's anti-heat,

424

distribute it to each palaces then.

425

Then...I'll have to ask the Internal Affairs Department first.

426

If there's not enough, it can't be helped for some palaces to have none for now.

427

Which palaces won't have enough supply?

428

Your Majesty, there are so many people in the palace who worships those above and tramples on those below.

429

The Internal Affairs Department has always done things based on who's the favored one.

430

As for the rest, it can't be helped for them to have a decrease in supply.

431

If anyone loses favor, then she won't be considered anymore.

432

You are quite honest.

433

I also came from a pile of servants.

434

I'm used to seeing those who loses favor getting bullied.

435

Whether it's the palace maid, the eunuch, or the imperial concubines, it's the same.

436

Being favored for a moment and then eventually getting thrown by the emperor to the back of his head.

437

Women who sees that as being an insult is the most miserable.

438

Palace maids that has aged to have white hair are the ones who are most miserable.

439

That's right. Hence, Ruyi could understand that person's situation

440

and my feelings.

441

That's why, she made that kind of suggestion.

442

It must be because Jingren Palace also encountered the same thing,

443

hence, Consort Xian went from one topic to another.

444

Li Yu, tomorrow morning,

445

I'll go to Cining Palace to visit Royal Mother.

446

Yes.

447

Mistress, for this season's clothes and jewelries,

448

the Internal Affairs Department didn't provide any.

449

Let's just use these old ones.

450

Mistress! Mistress!

451

Mistress, I bumped into Li Yu by the main road outside earlier.

452

He was just about to promulgate a decree.

453

What about it?

454

His Majesty has informed Empress Dowager

455

that he's going to add some conferment to the imperial wives that the Former Emperor has left behind.

456

Say it in more details.

457

After His Majesty returned from the ancestral temple, he was very sentimental.

458

Today, he went to visit Empress Dowager.

459

His Majesty then said that he wasn't able to fulfill his filial duties well.

460

Empress Dowager then comforted His Majesty with a few words.

461

His Majesty then said that he's going to take care of Empress Dowager via the world.

462

He then added the monthly allowances of the Imperial Concubine Dowager and Imperial Consort Dowager in Shoukang Palace.

463

Also, His Majesty still wants to posthumously give titles to the deceased imperial wives of the Former Emperor.

464

All will be transferred to the imperial consort tomb to accompany the Former Emperor.

465

This is His Majesty's filial piety. Empress Dowager will surely agree with it.

466

Mistress, you have good foresight. That's also what Empress Dowager said.

467

Hence, His Majesty has already made a decree

468

that any women that has attended to the Former Emperor in Yuanming Garden or in Renhe Temporary Palace,

469

regardless of their status, as long as they have deceased,

470

all will be posthumously recognized as Imperial Concubine Dowager

471

and will be transferred to the ancestral tomb to be buried.

472

This is a good thing.

473

- Go now.

- Yes.

474

Suoxin! His Majesty really did it!

475

For so many years, His Majesty has been avoiding to mention his true birth identity.

476

But isn't he like ordinary people, missing his birth mother too?

477

That's right. Having a posthumous title is having a status.

478

Even thought His Majesty can't mention about his birth mother, he'll feel comforted.

479

For so many years of serving His Majesty,

480

his problems are also my problems.

481

Hearing this decree now, I'm so happy.

482

Mistress, His Majesty listened to your suggestion. You will get favored again.

483

Empress Dowager, His Majesty's decree has spread throughout the six palaces.

484

You feel...

485

His Majesty said that he's going to abundantly provide for me to show his filial piety.

486

That he's going to increase the allowances of those Imperial Consort Dowager in Shoukang Palace.

487

Also, posthumously confer titles to those imperial wives that the Former Emperor has doted on.

488

Indirectly, he did all these for a bit of posthumous honor of Lin Jingui.

489

Consort Xian must have lost favor because she mentioned about these posthumous matters,

490

but she didn't expect His Majesty puts too much importance on his reputation.

491

How could he admit such a scandal?

492

But His Majesty still listened to her in the end.

493

No matter what,

494

His Majesty will never mention his real background in an open and official manner.

495

His Majesty wants to comfort his own filial heart and wants to exert a bit of effort.

496

It's just posthumously giving honor to an Imperial Concubine Dowager. I'll fulfill his wish.

497

- But Consort Xian...

- With His Majesty listening to her, I fear that she'll regain favor.

498

No matter if she earns or loses His Majesty's favor,

499

she'll forever be an eyesore among them imperial harem.

500

There will always be someone frustrating her and making things difficult for her in the future.

501

Let's just let her earn some lessons. No need to interfere.

502

Hence,

503

this Consort Xian doesn't know to acknowledge who the real mistress of the imperial harem is.

504

She just focused on earning His Majesty's favor, and losing yours.

505

She really doesn't know to calculate things.

506

His Majesty still didn't come.

507

Have you asked Li Yu about it?

508

I did. He said that His Majesty has been the same as usual.

509

He also couldn't give any reason.

510

We're now in Linzhi Gates?

511

Yes. After Linzhi Gates, it will be Yonghe Palace already.

512

First Class Attendant Mei is waiting for you in Yonghe Palace.

513

Beside Lingzhi Gates is...

514

It's Jingren Palace and Yanxi Palace.

515

Let's go.

516

You're quite considerate today. You brought me to the library?

517

I heard that First Prince's health wasn't well a few days ago.

518

Hence, I want to ask Your Majesty to accompany me to visit First Prince.

519

The Yangtze, Yellow, Huai, and Ji Rivers...

520

Your Majesty, looks like Her Highness Noble Consort really likes First Prince a lot.

521

That's right, His Majesty. I really want to adopt First Prince.

522

I've been begging you from spring to summer.

523

You still haven't approved it.

524

Let's go in and check on Yonghuang first.

525

- Yes.

- His Majesty is here!

526

...meritorious subjects of the country.

527

Greetings Royal Father and Mother Hui.

528

All of you, get up.

529

How come you've gotten thinner?

530

Your Majesty, look at how thin First Prince is?

531

You're even wearing such thin clothes.

532

Although now, the weather has gone warmer, it still is cold in the morning and evening.

533

You should wear more.

534

- I brought you your most favorite Hibiscus flaky pastries. Do you want to taste it?

- Yes.

535

Muxin, hurry.

536

Here. have a taste.

537

Yonghuang, don't eat first. Write some words for me.

538

Yonghuang, I remember that you aren't that interested in desserts.

539

How come today, you kept looking at it?

540

I admit my mistake. I'll write again.

541

Eat after you've finished writing.

542

What's wrong with your hand?

543

How come you're hurt? This sleeve is dirty too.

544

Your Majesty, look.

545

What's going on?

546

How do you attend to him?

547

First Prince, didn't I let you change your clothes already?

548

How come you're still wearing it?

549

Where did you go play?

550

How come you're hurt like that?

551

Damn you!

552

I admit my mistakes.

553

Come, let me see.
