Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Episode 28

21

Zhongcui Palace

22

Kexin, where's Yonghuang?

23

First Prince isn't finished with school yet.

24

I heard today is Consort Xian's returning day.

25

First Prince is very happy.

26

He kept saying he wanted to go see Consort Xian with you after school.

27

It's only natural since Consort Xian did indeed raise First Prince for so many years.

28

You must be on your way to Yikun Palace too then.

29

That's right.

30

Greetings, Older Sister.

31

Younger Sister Shen, why are you here?

32

I was going to go to Yikun Palace to say my congratulations.

33

Who would know that when I just arrived, I saw His Majesty coming out from there?

34

Saying Consort Xian needs rest and she's not to be disturbed.

35

So you see, I got rejected flat despite my warm thought, so I came to ask a cup of tea from you.

36

Younger sister, come in and let's talk.

37

Actually, it was a misunderstanding.

38

Consort Xian isn't putting on airs.

39

That was back then, but not so anymore.

40

Older sister, where is the First Prince?

41

He's still in school.

42

Younger sister, take a seat.

43

Okay.

44

Sister, though First Prince has been raised by you last few years.

45

In the past, he was with Concubine Ruyi.

46

Now that Concubine Ruyi is back,

47

You plan to just return a half-grown son back to her?

48

I can't do that.

49

I've looked after Yonghuang these years without any fault.

50

Would I just return him to Concubine Ruyi just like that?

51

Others might think I mistreated Yonghuang then.

52

That's right too.

53

You were promoted to Consortship not only because of your merit of birthing Third Prince.

54

It's also for the toil of raising First Prince.

55

Since you have two royal princes,

56

and you're the chief of consorts and our blessing.

57

But if First Prince wants to go back there,

58

it will be different then.

59

Sister, this First Prince is the eldest heir.

60

Until the empress births a son, the eldest son is most precious.

61

You can't say that too.

62

It's actually your four prince that was born in great time.

63

That's a very precious son there.

64

How could I be compared to you?

65

But I would still like to give you a word of advice.

66

You should be careful or else someone might pick up a easy convenience from you.

67

By the way, First Prince is coming of age, right?

68

The son of the Emperor who's at this age,

69

He's old enough to be appointed a marriage.

70

Have you any inkling?

71

His Majesty did say a few grand houses have daughters.

72

They are all pretty suitable.

73

Sister, having a good marriage is having a good dependence.

74

The eighth prince of Emperor Kanxi.

75

His birth mother was actually a servant in the washing room.

76

But he got appointed a marriage with the granddaughter of Prince An, Yolo.

77

That's how he got the qualifications to fight for the throne.

78

You better worry more about First Prince's marriage.

79

Don't let some little clan get the better deal.

80

I know.

81

Older sister.

82

Older sister.

83

Older sister.

84

Older sister.

85

Hailan.

86

You are finally back.

87

I was about to visit you.

88

How is the child?

89

Let's sit and talk.

90

You've thinned out so much.

91

You have suffered.

92

It's my fault for being incompetent. I didn't even know you were poisoned with arson.

93

It's already in the past. I'm fine now.

94

Who did all those?

95

Her Highness, R'Ruo or Noble Consort? This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

96

Yexin, go out first.

97

Yes.

98

I did it to myself.

99

What?

100

If one wants to leave Cold Palace, one must put in effort.

101

I heard you got poisoned by cinnabar.

102

Has it harmed your unborn baby?

103

Did you find out who did it?

104

If I were to say that it's the same as you,

105

would you believe it?

106

You did it yourself?

107

For me?

108

Jiang Yubin helped you?

109

Jiang Yubin didn't tell me.

110

You weren't afraid you could hurt your fetus?

111

Older sister, I'm worried about you and you are worried about me too.

112

So I told Jiang Yubin not to say. It's not his fault.

113

But with Jiang Yubin checking the amount,

114

I was spared any major harm.

115

And also, in the end you and I had a spiritual connection.

116

And released you from your bondage.

117

Older sister, I'm fine. Don't worry.

118

Older sister, if it's convenient for you, I would like to show you something.

119

Okay.

120

How did this happen?

121

I ate a lot and the stomach grew bigger too.

122

Ever since I was in the sixth month,

123

these would appear on my body.

124

Everything's fine. There are many good medicines in the imperial hospital.

125

This is definitely curable.

126

It's useless. I've asked the midwives.

127

They said that certain pregnant women

128

would get this after pregnancy.

129

This can't be cured.

130

Even if I give birth to the child,

131

these would still remain on my body.

132

Think about it. If I were to service His Majesty in bed,

133

what will he think when he sees it?

134

After you give birth,

135

let's find a way.

136

Palace is only a place based on looks.

137

Sister, I know my favor has come to an end.

138

My status isn't high. Once I give birth,

139

I may not be able to keep it by me to raise it.

140

At that time, it will be sent to Xifang Hall.

141

Or bequeathed to others.

142

Why don't I leave it with you and let it become your child?

143

Become my child?

144

Currently,

145

Concubine Jia's fourth prince is His Majesty's favorite.

146

Concubine Chun will never return First Prince to you.

147

But you can't not have your own child.

148

But you only managed to get pregnant after so much trouble.

149

And you're having such a difficult pregnancy.

150

Sister, we are only blood apart.

151

Must we nitpick about this?

152

Don't worry.

153

I will do all my utmost if the child is with me.

154

If I worry about you,

155

who else would I not worry about?

156

Older sister, you are finally back.

157

We will be together again and never separate.

158

Put on your clothes now. Don't catch a cold.

159

Cining Palace.

160

Greetings, Concubine Ruyi.

161

Consort Xian, Empress Dowager has tea prepared awaiting you.

162

This way, please.

163

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

164

Stand up.

165

I've brewed high tea for you.

166

Sit.

167

You knew I would come for sure.

168

If you don't come, you won't be able to try my fine tea.

169

You're kept yourself very well, Empress Dowager.

170

It seems residing peacefully in back harem has been good.

171

It's excellent that you could survive too.

172

His Majesty didn't dote on you for nothing and I didn't protect you for nothing too.

173

You are finally out.

174

You let me persist my life for the one day to come.

175

Thus, I came here specially to send my regards today

176

May you be healthy forever.

177

You are considered good.

178

You knew after a fire you can't stay in Cold Palace anymore.

179

So you took a risk on yourself.

180

Now all the palace.

181

Even His Majesty is suspicious.

182

Was it Noble Consort or First Class Attendant Shen

183

who put arson on you.

184

Even Empress can't fathom the suspicion.

185

If you didn't do that on your own,

186

would you be that lucky to have someone to save you?

187

Empress Dowager, you are wise.

188

No wonder His Majesty suspects them.

189

They have done it before.

190

They just wouldn't let you go over and over again.

191

But now that you're out.

192

What does His Majesty plan to do?

193

I had no one to lean on.

194

But you were merciful and I could be spared to stay at Palace.

195

From now on, I continue to beg your pity.

196

Empress comes from high nobility.

197

Fuca is a Manchu banner and well connected with old subjects.

198

She is also frugal and a great example.

199

Noble Consort's father is greatly deemed by His Majesty in the royal court.

200

But I never liked having only one pot of flower in the palace blooming grandly.

201

A hundred pots of flowers all blooming alluring is true success.

202

If you understand this then you can preserve yourself well.

203

I understand it.

204

Drink tea.

205

206

Today's bath water was drawn with peach branch and willow leaves.

207

Boiled with lilac flower and pearl powder.

208

It has the effect of getting rid of evil and darkness.

209

His Majesty especially instructed this.

210

To wash away your Cold Palace dark air.

211

Very good, Qinying. You walked out of Cold Palace on your own.

212

You are indeed a woman of Ula-Nara.

213

But a Ula-Nara woman wouldn't halt her stops.

214

You must continue

215

To reclaim all that belongs to you.

216

All that belongs to you.

217

Mistress, did you have a bad dream again?

218

What bad dream? Stop talking nonsense.

219

Even since Concubine Ruyi came out from the Cold Palace,

220

you haven't been able to sleep soundly.

221

That whore. She won't stay put in Cold Palace.

222

She comes out to make trouble.

223

Whore. I can't have her.

224

I'm not afraid.

225

I'm not afraid of anything.

226

I'm not afraid.

227

Mistress.

228

Greetings, Your Highness.

229

Get up and sit.

230

Thank you, Your Highness.

231

Concubine Ruyi, it has been a long time since we have seen you.

232

We've had some misunderstanding before and Consort Xian's had to compromise for a few years.

233

But now Consort Xian is back again to accompany us.

234

We must get along well.

235

Thank you, Your Highness, for your concerns.

236

Consort Xian, Noble Lady Shen used to serve you.

237

She's now favored by His Majesty. The both of you must get along with each other.

238

- Yes.

- Yes.

239

Though Noble Lady Shen used to serve Consort Xian,

240

but it's different now.

241

With His Majesty's favor on her side, she's either reprimanding her servants in her quarter,

242

or whine loudly about this or that.

243

She really does whatever she wants at her whim.

244

Concubine Jia, you must be joking.

245

I've serviced His Majesty in bed a lot.

246

How many days do I really have to throw tantrums?

247

Don't hear wrong now.

248

Enough. We're in broad daylight here.

249

Don't keep mentioning service in bed now.

250

Consort Xian, we've got Concubine Shu and Attendant Qing.

251

They are new here.

252

If you have the time, do chat with them.

253

Your attire today is very undemanding.

254

The bracelet I gifted to you and Noble Consort back then.

255

Why don't you wear it?

256

The lock is loose.

257

I sent it in to get it fixed.

258

Once it's repaired, you should wear it every day too.

259

It's a symbol of our sisterhood from the old manor.

260

Of course.

261

Empress's gracious kindness.

262

I don't dare to forget for a day.

263

Consort Xian's only just returned so she should rest up.

264

In a few days, at our family banquet,

265

I will celebrate grandly for you.

266

As a token of congratulations.

267

Thank you, Your Highness.

268

Older sister, if you are free, visit me at my palace.

269

Come and see if I am looking over Yonghuang diligently or not.

270

Yonghuang has been living in your palace. He's already your child now.

271

How could you not be diligent?

272

Because you were having a tough time, that's why Yonghuang stayed in my palace.

273

Now that you are out, I should return him to you.

274

And Concubine Jia has Yongcheng too.

275

I have Yongzhang and you'd have Yonghuang and it's good if we're all equal.

276

You are so thoughtful.

277

It's just that, I just came out from the Cold Palace.

278

my health is still weak.

279

I fear that I wouldn't be able to take good care of Yonghuang.

280

I think he should still remain with you.

281

I will not let you know for sure and look after Yonghuang well.

282

But older sister, you must nurse your health.

283

That Noble Lady Shen's been seducing His Majesty for many years and she's not afraid of anyone.

284

You got to put her in her place to cough up the anger from before.

285

I wanted to have you move to Yikun Plaace to live with me.

286

But you've got a big belly and it's not convenient so I'll forget it.

287

If you give birth to a prince and His Majesty promotes your status,

288

then you can move to a proper palace.

289

I don't want to. That was where you lived.

290

It's still the same as before you left.

291

I didn't even move it. Just regarding it as keeping a memory.

292

You're full of strange old thoughts.

293

And that child of yours, who knows what kind of strange personality it will have once born.

294

It's kicking me. It knows you're talking ill.

295

Older sister, you have been back for a few days.

296

His Majesty never stayed overnight in Yikun Palace?

297

Or has he flipped your tag?

298

We've been distant for many years and our emotional knots haven't been untied.

299

I don't want to be that close.

300

That's true. Your framing hasn't been justified yet.

301

And His Majesty must feel awkward.

302

Tomorrow is winter family banquet.

303

Everyone in the palace will see you.

304

At the time, let's see how Empress and Noble Lady Shen show themselves then.

305

It's so warm to have hand heater in the winter.

306

Today is our winter family banquet. Royal Mother has the chills and she's reluctant to leave Cining Palace.

307

Thankfully we have His Majesty who could grant us his presence.

308

So we can get together like this.

309

This morning I went to the outskirts of the capital to watch military performance.

310

I received Empress's invitation there and heard each palace made their own dumplings.

311

So I came to have a taste and enjoy the company.

312

Your Majesty, I personally made these dumplings.

313

Just regular vegetable and meat fillings. Please try.

314

Fine.

315

Great. Your skills are on par with the royal chefs.

316

Your Majesty, I'm not good at wrapping dumplings.

317

So I only brought a jar of rose vinegar.

318

Consort Xian, when you eat dumplings, you must have vinegar.

319

Though your item isn't the most needed,

320

it's the item that can't be lacked the most.

321

Consort Xian, no wonder His Majesty cares about you so much.

322

His Majesty and Empress are two bodies with one mind.

323

I suppose you think of me day and night too.

324

It's the same for A'Ruo too. Isn't that so?

325

Nowadays, Sister Shen is already a concubine.

326

Why are you still calling her A'Ruo?

327

I feel like her noble lady attire is so awkward when you call her that.

328

I keep getting reminded the way she looked when she was your servant back then.

329

I got used to calling her from before so it's hard to change suddenly.

330

Alright. Noble Lady Shen, you should drink up to that.

331

Ruyi was your old boss.

332

Now she's been released from her undo injustice. Now it's our family banquet here.

333

As you are her old servant, you should toast her.

334

Yes.

335

Here's my toast to Concubine Ruyi.

336

Fine. First Class Attendant Shen, seeing how happy you are for Concubine Ruyi, I'm happy too.

337

From now on, let's promote Noble Lady Shen to Imperial Concubine Shen.

338

Your Majesty, this sudden promotion.

339

It's a bit too rash, isn't it?

340

Your Majesty, imperial concubines are mistresses of own palaces and a lofty status.

341

In the case of Concubine Mei and Shu and Jia,

342

they've either birthed an heir, or came from noble lineage, or have been favored for many years.

343

Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Shen lives with me.

344

If she's a concubine too, then Qixiang Palace --

345

wouldn't there be two Mistresses then?

346

No matter how Concubine Shen's promoted,

347

Qixiang Palace only has you as the mistress.

348

There's difference in status still.

349

So let's forgo a coronation for Concubine Shen then.

350

Yes, Sister Jia gave birth to a royal heir, to have same concubine status,

351

would still have a ranking within.

352

Your Majesty, without a coronation, the promotion wouldn't be official.

353

I value Concubine Shen, above formalities.

354

I thank Your Majesty for your grace.

355

Concubine Shen's blessed so I imagine His Majesty wouldn't need to flip the tags tonight.

356

Naturally he will be accompanied by Concubine Shen.

357

Empress, you are thoughtful.

358

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

359

Stop there.

360

You've just been promoted and you've forgotten the pecking order?

361

You dare to walk ahead of me?

362

You're a concubine and I'm a concubine too.

363

We're all the same so who's higher than who?

364

I'm the mother of a royal heir, and chief of all concubines.

365

You come from Consort Xian's servant status.

366

And you dare to mention being my equal?

367

For your old boss Consort Xian getting out of Cold Palace,

368

His Majesty gave you the promotion over that.

369

Thinking about this, it's not right too.

370

It was you who betrayed Consort Xian and framed her as culprit in the deaths of royal heirs.

371

But today His Majesty kept saying Consort Xian was framed.

372

I think this promotion of yours

373

was just a slap on you instead.

374

Whore.

375

You're both servants.

376

Why bother hitting one of your own?

377

Wexin, just take this slap for now.

378

And learn from her just how she got to crawl up His Majesty's bed.

379

I don't dare to seduce His Majesty behind your back, Mistress.

380

And I wouldn't dare to frame you.

381

Regardless of how many slaps I received,

382

I wouldn't learn these filthy ways.

383

- You...

- Mistress.

384

You dare to slap me?

385

This slap is for you to learn to be good.

386

It's for you not to forget how you climbed up for the past years.

387

To be rude to me? Just think of who you are!

388

I have Empress and Noble Consort as my back.

389

Is that so? Let's see then

390

just how many in this palace even accepts you.

391

You!

392

They looked down on me.

393

I've already been promoted to a concubine.

394

To them, I am only a cheap servant.

395

Mistress, don't take to heart.

396

She's just jealous of you.

397

Today is your great day of being promoted and you have to service His Majesty in bed tonight as well.

398

Let's go back to the palace and I'll rub your face with an egg.

399

Let's leave.

400

A'Rou doesn't seen to have been living greatly these years.

401

She's got His Majesty's attention so it's hard to avoid hate from others.

402

Plus how did she betray you back then for her gain?

403

Everyone knows the truth so of course they look down at her.

404

Glory and riches she went after.

405

So she will have to bear the shame and bullying.

406

You ate so much not long ago and you're eating again.

407

You are not afraid of getting bloated?

408

I don't know why I"m always hungry.

409

If you eat a lot, your stomach will expand more.

410

This body can't be seen anymore anyway.

411

Not eating more might be cheating the baby.

412

That's really not worth it then.

413

Greetings to Consort Xian, Noble Lady Hai.

414

Royal Physician Jiang, Noble Lady Hai's appetite is so big it worries me.

415

I wonder what's wrong with her.

416

Noble Lady Hai has a good appetite and the baby is strong so it's no trouble.

417

But the baby does seem

418

to be quite a bit bigger than fetuses his age.

419

Mistress, your prenatal medicine.

420

Alright, just put it aside to let it chill.

421

May I ask if you're eating the medicine by my prescription?

422

Of course. Is there anything wrong?

423

This medicine is not right.

424

Wufu, could you bring the medicine to me to see?

425

It's right outside. I'll go fetch it now.

426

I didn't see it wrong. This prenatal medicine.

427

Someone's added quite a bit to it.

428

But what they add wasn't anything bad.

429

Just good prenatal medicines.

430

However, the amount was much higher than what I prescribed.

431

I prescribed this. And the medicine was filled by the royal medicine court.

432

After it was made, I saw nothing was wrong with it.

433

I brought this from the royal physician's court and I have been very cautious.

434

Straight from there to you, no one else put a hand in it.

435

Someone's adjusted the ratios of this prescription.

436

So the effect will heavily stabilize the fetus.

437

You were weak to start out with, so after this medicine,

438

though it's fine on the royal heir,

439

but all your blood will be absorbed by the fetus.

440

And your body will be weakened with the fetus overly strong.

441

When you are in labor, you will --

442

have a hard time.

443

Imperial Physician Jiang, please investigate this fully.

444

I will definitely investigate this when I go back.

445

May you be assured, Consort Xian and Noble Lady Hai.

446

I will be extra careful from now on.

447

What are you doing?

448

I came to serve Your Majesty.

449

I beg you to allow me to service you in bed.

450

How many years have you served me in bed?

451

You should know what the rules are for your service.

452

What is it? You want things done by house rules?

453

Your Majesty. I have serviced you in bed for three years.

454

But you've never touched me.

455

It's been so long, so allow me to service you just once.

456

You want to become my woman so badly.

457

Pleading and begging and I allowed it.

458

And I have you a title dignified enough.

459

From now on, you are a person of Forbidden City in life.

460

And you're a ghost of Forbidden City once dead.

461

You can't ever escape.

462

You know why I don't touch you all these years?

463

I am dim-witted.

464

I keep you by my side and give you favors.

465

It's because I have use in keeping you.

466

But don't you forget.

467

You are forever the slave of Consort Xian. You're my slave.

468

Before others and behind others, don't lose your place.

469

I understand.

470

Who slapped you?

471

You favor me.

472

Concubine Jia is angry.

473

She slapped me.

474

All slaves get slapped by the mistresses.

475

If you want to enjoy this kind of royal favor,

476

you'll have to take these abuse with a content heart.

477

I beg you to give me a clear answer.

478

Why do you treat me like this?

479

Do you remember the title I gave you?

480

Shen. It means for you to be prudent.

481

You should think about the good I offer you.

482

If I didn't favor you, who knows what would've happened to you.

483

Do you think

484

that I framed Consort Xian?

485

So you're tormenting me to avenge Consort Xian's anger?

486

Avenge anger?

487

Consort Xian will come seek that from you in time.

488

Today I want to ask you clearly.

489

Who instructed you that day?

490

No one instructed me.

491

It was Consort Xian who committed crime.

492

I see that's how it is.

493

Then I shall sleep first.

494

Your Majesty, it's time

495

Mistress, you must be fatigue from servicing in bed last night.

496

I've prepared you morning tea for you to rest.

497

Service in bed?

498

I am tired indeed.

499

I am already Concubine Shen that His Majesty personally titled.

500

Why is it that everything in here looks to belong to merely a noble lady?

501

Why is interior bureau such a sloth?

502

They said Empress and Emperor want to be frugal and simple.

503

And you haven't had your coronation yet so the decor was not done.

504

What title?

505

He just wanted me to have an empty title anyway.

506

Mistress.

507

You can't. Mistress.

508

Mistress. This was from the day you were named concubine.

509

You can't do that. If others find out --

510

What will they say about you?

511

I am Concubine Shen. My stuff.

512

I can break if I want.

513

Who can do what to me?

514

Mistress.

515

Mistress. You can't. Can't!

516

This was given to you personally by the emperor when you became a noble lady.

517

You can't break that.

518

Just hit me instead if you're so angry.

519

You can't harm you and His Majesty's fondness.

520

Mistress.

521

Mistress.

522

Mistress.

523

His Majesty.

524

Does he care about me even?

525

I'm just a toy.

526

Let others throw me around.

527

I've served Concubine Shen these years.

528

I've discovered her temperament is getting more and more fussy.

529

She will ask me often too.

530

If His Majesty really favors her.

531

She is already so favored so what more does she want?

532

His Majesty favors her.

533

But yesterday at the family banquet he kept saying,

534

mistress and servant, obviously belittling Concubine Shen.

535

Yes. His Majesty also said Consort Xian was framed before.

536

You go back first.

537

If any movement at Concubine Shen's don't forget to report to me right away.

538

Yes.

539

Will His Majesty dig up what we did that year?

540

Now with Consort Xian out,

541

His Majesty will have to find an excuse to say she was framed.

542

Or else others won't be pacified.

543

Push comes to shove, we'll throw A'Rou out.

544

Saying she sold out her mistress for her own gain.

545

But Concubine Shen, wouldn't she cough us up?

546

Her father works for my father.

547

If we keep him as our hostage, she won't dare to talk.

548

Even if she didn't do it, she has to swallow it still.
