Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

20

Episode 23

21

Congratulations to Your Majesty.

22

Congratulations to Imperial Concubine Jia for achieving a royal prince.

23

You're spared.

24

Today is the prince's full month after birth. Everyone who works in Qixiang Palace is awarded an extra year of proportions.

25

Thank you for Your Majesty's grace.

26

Your Majesty, the fireworks were too loud and it startled him.

27

No trouble. A boy should nurture his courage.

28

The prince is already full-month. He should be given a name.

29

Yes. He's my fourth prince.

30

And my first male child upon ascension to throne, so he is precious beyond average.

31

How about we name him Yongcheng.

32

"Cheng" means perfect jade that is flawless. What do you say?

33

I like it so much.

34

This Yongcheng sure came in a timely manner.

35

Or else I will be forever living in the sorrow of losing Yonglian.

36

I greatly like Yongcheng.

37

And I hope he can be a formidable character in the future.

38

Since Concubine Jia birthed Four Prince,

39

His Majesty is holding banquets day after day and rewarding the Qixiang Palace people up and down.

40

He's not come to see Yonghuang and Yongzhang anymore.

41

Four Prince is still not the main heir of the legitimate wife.

42

In terms of ranking, First Prince and Third Prince rank higher.

43

Concubine Jia has a son.

44

But you have two royal princes, so she is inferior to you.

45

So what if she rises higher than me?

46

It's Yongzhang being inferior that saddens me.

47

How about this? Sister Chun,

48

you should take First Prince and Third Prince to visit Concubine Jia.

49

If by luck, you meet His Majesty, a meeting will have some fondness.

50

If you don't meet him, it at least

51

shows you are a generous mistress who is ranked higher.

52

His Majesty will be glad by it when he finds out.

53

You're right. I will go with them now.

54

Your Majesty, look at Yongcheng.

55

Hurry and smile for your royal father.

56

Seeing him like this, he looks so much like Yonglian at birth.

57

Your Majesty, that is premium wild ginseng my maiden clan sent in to me.

58

I know Empress is ill so this is very suitable to aid her recovery.

59

She's not been kind to you in vain.

60

Your Majesty, Mistress, Concubine Chun is here.

61

Greetings to Your Majesty.

62

Your son greets you, Royal Father.

63

- All rise.

- Yes.

64

Sister Chun, have a seat.

65

What brings you guys here?

66

I heard Sister Jia has been raising Four Prince by her upon his birth.

67

And I'm someone who's raised kids already.

68

So I wanted to tell Sister about some tricks in raising kids.

69

You are thoughtful.

70

Why isn't Yonghuang here too?

71

Yonghuang is devoted to his studies and he can't spare coming.

72

You toil in raising Yongzhang and Yonghuang.

73

Not as toiling as Sister Jia who's a first time mother.

74

Yonglian passed away in Xiefang Hall.

75

So when I think of Xiefang Hall, I am saddened.

76

For that reason, I've approved Concubine Jia to raise Yongcheng by her side.

77

Your Majesty is thorough in thinking. If it weren't for Sister raising Four Prince personally,

78

Four Prince couldn't be so sturdy and healthy.

79

Let me see it. Yongzhang, come, look at your brother.

80

Look at that little face, so round.

81

Alright, you guys can chat. I'll go back to Yangxin Hall.

82

No need to get up.

83

Concubine Chun, you have many kids under you, and you toil in raising them, so let's promote you to consortship.

84

Thank you, Your Majesty.

85

You guys chat.

86

Congratulations, Consort Chun.

87

First Prince, I clearly heard Noble Lady Hai,

88

saying to bring you with Third Prince to Qixiang Palace with Concubine Chun.

89

But her highness insists you stay and work on writing so she left you behind and went with Third Prince only.

90

I'm not Mother Chun's biological son.

91

Mother Chun isn't the same as Mother.

92

She has her own son.

93

Mother only has me.

94

First Prince,

95

I feel like you're being cheated.

96

Even if you feel that, don't let Mother Chun see it.

97

If I had to leave Zhongcui Palace, my life will be harder.

98

Once I'm grown and have my own manor, it will all be alright.

99

Humans are akin to --

100

Come.

101

Hurry.

102

I'm going to catch you.

103

Sister, you must take it.

104

No, Sister Chun.

105

This is because you have two royal princes.

106

Your kids raise your status. It's your own luck.

107

You shouldn't say that.

108

It's you who reminded me to use Second Prince's incident as my pretext to bring back Yongzhang,

109

that I get to enjoy the fruit of mother and son together now.

110

And I wouldn't have been promoted to consort. Take it.

111

No, you're too kind, Sister. You take it.

112

Come on.

113

Come.

114

I'm going to catch you.

115

I deserve death.

116

Royal Father.

117

Royal Father.

118

Alright, it's fine.

119

Zhongcui Palace is so lively and I feel happy hearing it.

120

Greetings to Your Majesty.

121

Alright, everyone up.

122

Thank you, Your Majesty.

123

Noble Lady Hai is here too.

124

Noble Lady Hai admires me having kids so she comes often to help out.

125

Your Majesty, if Noble Lady Hai could have her own child, how great would that be?

126

I also think as so.

127

We need the royal heirs to flourish for the royal family to flourish.

128

But lively is a good thing.

129

Yongzhang is already four now, so he should be learning words, instead of always playing.

130

Or Yonghuang will languish in studies too.

131

Replying to Your Majesty, First Prince intends to foster sibling love.

132

When he reads daily, Third Prince accompanies him on the side to listen as well.

133

First Prince is teaching Third Prince words too.

134

Oh? Yongzhang can read?

135

Third Prince, look. What does that middle word say?

136

Cui.

137

Great. Yongzhang can read now!

138

Yonghuang, as the eldest royal pince,

139

you can teach your youger brother to read and that's great.

140

Royal Father, may you be understanding. It's not my teaching but it's Third Brother being smart and self-assuring.

141

It was the Xiefang Hall's aunties who spoiled him too much before.

142

Which delayed his learning of words and writing.

143

But now, I just wish to teach him more as my duty as big brother.

144

Great.

145

Yonghuang is filial and loving. An example to princes.

146

I've not seen you before. You serve Consort Chun?

147

Replying to Your Majesty, your servant's been transferred to Zhongcui Palace only recently.

148

Matron Meng allowed me to kindly serve First Prince.

149

You're very sharp. Work hard.

150

Yes.

151

Come, Yongzhang, your father will teach you a good word.

152

Amitabha. His Majesty finally compliments Yongzhang.

153

Its you and First Prince teaching him well.

154

Third Prince courts His Majesty's fondness, naturally.

155

Sister Chun, you should reward that palace maid well.

156

If it weren't for her saying,

157

His Majesty wouldn't be this happy today.

158

Reward her indeed.

159

Kexin, bring the sweet steamed curd just sent from Royal Kitchen.

160

Reward this palace maid. Her name is --

161

Replying to Your Highness, my name is Yanwan.

162

I am honored to be called by you.

163

Kexin, bring the sweet curd and reward her a bowl.

164

Yes.

165

Come.

166

Yexin, I asked you to look into Jiang Yubin's background. Have you looked into it in detail?

167

I have. He heard he could go to Cold Palace and was elated.

168

Is that so?

169

Mistress, it's His Majesty.

170

Greetings to Your Majesty.

171

Good. I remember I've seen you in Consort Chun's palace.

172

Your Majesty has a good memory.

173

I serve First Prince.

174

I've escorted First Prince to study hall, and I was going back to Zhongcui Palace through Imperial Garden.

175

I didn't mean to disturb you.

176

What's your name?

177

Your servant is named Yanwan.

178

Yanwan? Yanwan is nice.

179

Shen Yue of Nan Dynasty, in his Ode to Beauty volume said this.

180

"Glorious like moon, elegant (yanwan) like spring."

181

Your Majesty, your recitation is so pretty to the ear.

182

It's regrettable that I don't understand it.

183

You don't need to understand.

184

By the way, what's your surname?

185

I am from Wei clan. Manchu's plain yellow banner, service class.

186

Wei surname is rather common.

187

But it is ranked top three in the banner, so it's not low ranking.

188

Though I am a service class of the plain yellow banner,

189

I lost my father early on and I don't have a brother who is successful.

190

I really can't be considered a good family.

191

The ranking of a family inherited from the generation above doesn't count.

192

It's something you depend on yourself to earn.

193

Earn yourself a good family.

194

Your Majesty. I am just a feeble woman. Could I?

195

Of course you can.

196

I remember a poem. "Pleasure is in this moment now."

197

"Yanwan (elegance) is the good time."

198

Sending Your Majesty respectfully.

199

I see we have a second A'Rou in the palace.

200

- Yanwan? Yanwan?

- Chunchan.

201

You go first.

202

Yanwan, your mother suddenly sent word in.

203

She said she's out of silver and asked you to deliver sooner.

204

But I just delivered some last month.

205

I suppose it's because she knows you're working in Zhongcui Palace now and your proportions are higher.

206

All my silvers, I gave to them. What more do I have?

207

Maybe you let First Prince like you.

208

Promote you as second wife or gege or something.

209

- Then you'll have a way.

- Don't talk silly.

210

Yanwan.

211

What brings you here? Come.

212

What's wrong?

213

You look unhappy.

214

Is it too hard serving First Prince?

215

First Prince is in a mischief time .

216

You should learn to be lazy so you're not working yourself too hard. Got it?

217

It's not that.

218

Then, could it be that your mother's asking about us again?

219

It's not the first time you found out,

220

that my mother doesn't like you and looks down at you.

221

She always wanted me to marry into a rich family.

222

Yanwan.

223

Don't worry. I will work hard.

224

I will have you live a good life. I guarantee.

225

Brother Yunche.

226

Can't be.

227

Can you only stay here?

228

You have no other way?

229

Other way?

230

I'll have to take it slow. I'm sure I'll figure something.

231

What about you?

232

Yes.

233

You're a man.

234

You won't fear not having opportunities.

235

But once I turn 25, I will need to leave the palace.

236

If I have no opportunity before then.

237

Then I will have no other possibility.

238

You mean, what opportunity?

239

You're not doing well in Zhongcui Palace?

240

My mother is always asking me for money.

241

To let my brother spend.

242

I have no other way either.

243

I don't want them to suffer always either.

244

Yanwan.

245

What exactly do you want to say?

246

I --

247

Brother Yunche.

248

Let's not meet again.

249

My father committed act that lost his government post and abandoned a household of orphans.

250

The offspring of an offender will follow me always passing to my offsprings too.

251

And you've been in the palace for many years.

252

But you're only a guard of Cold Palace with no prospects for success.

253

But we can in the future --

254

We have no future.

255

If we are together, we are slaves for the whole generation.

256

Me being a slave is alright.

257

But --

258

I don't want my mother and brother suffer alongside myself.

259

Hence --

260

Just deem it as you've never known me.

261

262

Really?

263

No wonder His Majesty comes to my palace often lately.

264

I suppose he's already got his eyes on this Yanwan.

265

After a couple more seductions, the harem will have a newcomer.

266

Sister Chun, you worked hard to get to this position.

267

You must be careful of this chit.

268

If His Majesty likes her, what can I do?

269

Also, Empress is ill right now.

270

Concubine Jia gave birth recently and she can't service him.

271

There are only a few in the harem no matter how many times you count.

272

His Majesty, if he wants to get a new person, that's all understandable too.

273

Even if we get a newcomer, it can't come out of your palace.

274

Sister Chun, think hard.

275

You've already got two princes now,

276

if Yanwan is favored, others will think it was your doing.

277

That you're using her to steal favor for Third Prince.

278

That will make Third Prince the public enemy.

279

I can't have that. No one can harm Yongzhang.

280

Sister, is there a good solution?

281

Just say that Yanwan --

282

Yanwan. Hey.

283

Yanwan.

284

- First Prince.

- Where are you gong?

285

I'm --

286

Where did you put the paper my father gave me a few days ago?

287

I put it on your desk. You didn't see it?

288

I didn't. Look for it for me.

289

Fine. I'll go and look for it now.

290

Yanwan, when are you going to make enoki mushroom and beancurd skin buns for me?

291

I will make them for you for sure when I get a chance.

292

Look at that.

293

She's so wanton she has no mindset to serve Yonghuang.

294

Kexin, send Yanwan here.

295

Yes.

296

I greet Consort Chun and Noble Lady Hai.

297

Get on up.

298

Yanwan. You're doing a great job serving Yonghuang.

299

Yonghuang praises you often too.

300

It's my duty to serve First Prince well.

301

I do want to keep you here serving Yonghuang.

302

But today, the palace astrologist came to read Yonghuang's fortune.

303

And I checked your birth pillars with Yonghuang's.

304

Unfortunately, you're not only a conflict with Yonghuang, but you're also a clash against His Majesty.

305

So that's not too good.

306

For His Majesty and Yonghuang's wellbeing.

307

I need you to stay faraway.

308

Your Highness. I --

309

Why? You're not content?

310

No.

311

I don't dare.

312

On the account

313

that you're pretty and elegant, I think you're most suitable to work in the floral and plant bureau.

314

Thank you for your grace.

315

Just that First Prince is attached to me.

316

May you allow some grace.

317

And allow me to give a few days to prepare First Prince.

318

Noble Lady Hai.

319

Since your fate clashes, there's no meaning in keeping you more.

320

Think on the positive side.

321

Or if you really curse his fate, you will be punished and sent to wash room.

322

Alright.

323

I follow your order.

324

I will go immediately.

325

Kexin.

326

Send Yanwan to floral room.

327

Yes.

328

Thank you, Sister.

329

Mistress, I brought your chamber robe.

330

Let's switch to the light jade colored one with plum flowers.

331

You love plum flowers on any clothing.

332

You're just like Mistress Yi from before.

333

Actually you look so pretty with makeup on.

334

This willowy eye look is what His Majesty likes.

335

The lipstick His Majesty gifted me is called "tender wuxiang".

336

Like the women of Emperor Wu.

337

Elegant and alluring. Her scent felt by all.

338

Mistress, His Majesty is so thoughtful.

339

Just that what I like is the distant brow look.

340

And I hate putting on powder and makeup.

341

It's because you really didn't doll up before at all.

342

So now you're mindful of it,

343

and you're so charming and alluring to His Majesty.

344

Putting on makeup and changing my face.

345

When I see myself, I look like someone else.

346

With another mindset.

347

Ling Yunche. Ling Yunche.

348

What now?

349

This is newly made handkerchiefs. I leave them to you.

350

What's got you so down and drunk? You drank a lot?

351

What's it to you?

352

What's it to you if I drink some liquor?

353

What a big temper.

354

Something isn't going well for you?

355

I'm a cheap life.

356

What can't be smooth to me?

357

I see it's either about your future or about a girl.

358

Future?

359

I was born into a low fifth banner into a dirt poor family.

360

What future to speak of?

361

No one looks at me dignified.

362

Everyone wants to leave me. That's it.

363

What's wrong with birthing into a low fifth banner?

364

I was born into the top three Manchu banner, Ula-Nara clan.

365

But I got framed by others anyway and I'm confined here away from the world.

366

You're locked up in Cold Palace.

367

It's because you don't have skills.

368

Me? I watch my beloved woman leave me into distant.

369

Why?

370

Because she mourns I can't afford to give her the chance to revamp her status.

371

That's it. That's all.

372

Cold Palace is a place --

373

That you can't leave and I can't leave either.

374

How do you know I can't get out?

375

You go out then.

376

Ling Yunche, if a woman is willing to share sweet and bitter together with you without parting.

377

That's someone deserving of your lament.

378

If a woman schemes from you,

379

and belittles your birth and future,

380

if she leaves, then it were me,

381

I would be only too happy.

382

Such heartless words.

383

Only you women could say them.

384

One type of words are flippant and one types of words are faithful but hard to hear.

385

You can't even decipher between the two so you better go back and think through it more.

386

Thank you so much about the handkerchiefs.

387

Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com

388

This. This.

389

Anymore?

390

Don't move.

391

Greetings to Your Majesty.

392

Greetings to Your Majesty.

393

Don't move.

394

Suoxin.

395

Greetings to Your Majesty.

396

Suoxin.

397

You came.

398

I came.

399

You thinned out.

400

Jiang Yubin greets Mistress Yi.

401

Hurry and get up.

402

Royal Physician Jiang, thank you so much for taking the danger of coming here.

403

No such thing. Since Mistress Yi and Suoxin came in here.

404

I've wanted to come the whole time but I couldn't.

405

But later through the message from Guard Ling, I found out you were sick and I got worried even more.

406

I tried to just burst in here before but I didn't succeed.

407

Later, it was Noble Lady Hai who came up with an idea,

408

to allow me to come in here to treat you.

409

You and Noble Lady Hai are very thoughtful.

410

Have a seat.

411

Have a seat.

412

Allow me to take your pulse first.

413

Other hand.

414

Mistress Yi, your health is not bad.

415

It's just that you've been overly anxious and your kidney is deficient in water.

416

Rheumatism is new on you.

417

Though it's showing up strong, it's not deep rooted, so it can be healed after diligence in treatment.

418

Have a look at Suoxin.

419

Yes.

420

Your rheumatism is less severe than Mistress Yi. It must be because your health was sturdier to start out with.

421

However, you mustn't act too strong.

422

Especially when your rheumatism is active. You mustn't act too tough.

423

Or else you will find it hard to treat once it seeps into marrow.

424

I understand.

425

I will get the medicine delivered here once I put it together at the royal medical court.

426

I will have to trouble Suoxin to boil the medicine.

427

No trouble, as long as we have the medicine.

428

Just medicine alone will take a long time.

429

You need to also use mulberry, willow, lychee and peach after shedding the peel,

430

add to that, monocots, hydrangea, smoke them and wash the affected areas daily, and that will heal faster.

431

I will come and perform acupuncture each time I come.

432

You're thoughtful, Royal Physician Jiang.

433

If I were thoughtful, I wouldn't have came so late.

434

But at least from now on, it's more convenient for me to come.

435

Thank you, Physician Jiang.

436

I have an early court session. You should return to palace.

437

Yes.

438

Where's my lotus pouch?

439

What lotus pouch?

440

The star river lotus pouch Noble Lady Hai made for me.

441

I think it was left at the sleeping chamber.

442

Let me go get it.

443

Your Majesty, I found it.

444

I'll serve you and hang it for you.

445

Alright.

446

Greetings to Your Majesty for leaving.

447

Mistress.

448

I beg Empress's wellbeing.

449

Get on up.

450

Thank you, Your Highness.

451

I haven't seen you in a few days and you're looking much brighter.

452

Physician Qi is indeed an amazing hand.

453

He said your illness will turn for the better after winter.

454

Indeed once the peach blossoms have bloomed and your coloring is more red.

455

You bring Jingse here to bid me well often.

456

Though Yonglian is gone now,

457

I still have a daughter.

458

I need to bear through somehow.

459

His Majesty comes to visit you often.

460

And ordered the royal physician to help you recover.

461

I hope your health is great,

462

so you can achieve another prince.

463

These days, I see you,

464

and you always want to say something but you bite your tongue.

465

What is it?

466

There is something, we need you to be all recovered,

467

before we discuss it.

468

Moxin, bring the item.

469

Look at it, Your Highness.

470

What is it?

471

Who is doing such witchery in the palace?

472

It came soon after Crown Prince Dunhui's demise.

473

Princess picked this up near Cold Palace.

474

If it's not cursing,

475

then I wouldn't believe it.

476

Cold Palace?

477

That's Ula-Nara.

478

Cold Palace is a place no one dares to go.

479

This item must have blown out from Cold Palace.

480

Ula-Nara, before she went into Cold Palace,

481

she wanted to steal your legitimate status.

482

After she went into the palace, Crown Prince Dunhui's illness only became more severe.

483

How could the reed have just blown into his room like that?

484

It must be the witch craft.

485

Not only will she not let him live,

486

she even cursed him so his leaving to nether world couldn't be in peace.

487

Noble Consort, your words are so true.

488

My mistress has been blaming herself this whole time.

489

That she wasn't able to prevent the reed due to low staff.

490

But now I see it was the curse of witchery.

491

It wasn't something human power could've stopped.

492

She reaped her own bitter fruit.

493

But she even pushed such curse on Yonglian.

494

She is --

495

She deserves more than death.

496

Your Highness.

497

Your Highness, don't anger your body weak.

498

Don't let that venomous woman be content.

499

I am not harming my healthy through anger.

500

This is a good potion you gave me.

501

It is rushing me to force myself to recover.

502

To avenge for Yonglian.

503

You mean --

504

I can endure everything else.

505

But Yonglian is the root of my life.

506

If someone harmed him,

507

it is putting me to death.

508

Now she's in Cold Palace.

509

We are outside. There are lots of ways.

510

When I think how she murdered royal heirs,

511

and cursed Yonglian to death,

512

yet she's still alive in Cold Palace.

513

I wish I could put her to death right away.

514

It's best to find something that no one can find fault in.

515

That puts her in living hell would be the best.

516

Now, the one who is truly diligent and sincere to me,

517

is only you.

518

This is the snack you love.

519

And in here is candle and scents.

520

Suoxin.

521

Sister, after Physician Jiang came, has your rheumatism gotten better?

522

Much better.

523

That's good.

524

A'Rou will be promoted to Noble Lady after Dragon Boat Feastival.

525

Her father figured out a way to control the flooding in Jiangnan.

526

His Majesty is so elated, but she's still not content.

527

She's always reprimanding everyone in the palace.

528

A'Rou has always had that temperament. It's not a surprise that she's scolding everyone.

529

Noble Lady Hai, if you're done chatting, you better go.

530

I smell realgar alcohol. You've been drinking, Guard Ling?

531

The realgar alcohol smells strong and it's reeking you?

532

Sister, I think he's drunk.

533

I should go. I'll come see you when I get a chance.

534

Alright. Be careful on your way back.

535

Take care.

536

What is it now?

537

You still can't let go? I said everything in vain that night?

538

Liking someone isn't something so easily let go.

539

You won't understand it even if I tell you.

540

Anyway, it's getting late. Hurry and go rest.

541

Don't drink anymore.

542

I got it. Got it.

543

So young but so clumsy.

544

It takes you until midnight to dig some earth?

545

I -- I didn't eat anything all day, busying until now.

546

What food if you can't finish your chore?

547

Finish and move the flower pots inside.

548

Flowers won't be fresh once night dew gets on them.

549

But there are dozens of pots here.

550

By myself I can't.

551

Then you want me to move then if you won't?

552

What a screwball.
