Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

20

Episode 31

21

These few days, Consort Xian's not come out of Yikun Palace?

22

They say she got too startled and she's scared to come out.

23

I've been bathing in mugwort water and drinking mugwort wine.

24

I feel my body is less chlly.

25

I've already finished making your mugwort pillow.

26

You can drink mugwort wine just in time to get a good sleep. Mistress.

27

Why does the night crow sound so robust tonight?

28

It's A'Rou's 77th today.

29

Yikun Palace is on complete shutdown and no one dares to roam around, I hear.

30

Last time it was the 57th when Consort Xian got startled.

31

Today is A'Rou's 77th.

32

Gao Xiyue.

33

Gao Xiyue.

34

- Mistress!

- A'Rou's coming.

35

Mistress.

36

You killed me.

37

I carried your crime.

38

You're the one who should die.

39

Bring me your life.

40

Mistress.

41

It's me, Mistress.

42

Why did A'Rou seek me out?

43

A'Rou, why did she come to me?

44

Mistress, none of us saw A'Rou.

45

She came to see me so of course you couldn't see her.

46

Shuangxi went to find the shaman.

47

I heard nothing happened to Yikun Palace last night. It means the shaman is competent.

48

Why didn't see go see Consort Xian?

49

Why didn't see go find Empress? Why me?

50

Empress is the head of the six palaces.

51

She's got a strong vigor there so the ghosts and monsters don't dare to go to her.

52

Even ghosts bully the soft and stay away from the tough?

53

It was the empress who didn't save her then.

54

Why didn't see go see Empress? Why me of all people?

55

Mistress, don't say anymore.

56

It's all fine.

57

I know it.

58

It was because she blames me for making her shoulder the blame for the cinnabar.

59

She must hate me so much.

60

Moxin, go find the shaman.

61

Get tally papers. We'll repress her.

62

Yes. I'll go get it now.

63

Moxin, don't go.

64

Xingchuan, you go.

65

Yes.

66

Don't be scared.

67

Mistress, I heard Xianfu Palace had a ghost.

68

Yikun Palace has a shaman repressing it and it's fine now.

69

Xianfu Palace too? Who was startled?

70

Who else? It was Noble Consort of course.

71

I heard Noble Consort kept screaming A'Rou was chasing her.

72

But the whole palace, no one saw A'Rou's ghost.

73

Everyone in the palace is talking, why would A'Rou chase Noble Consort?

74

Can't be that it was Noble Consort that killed her?

75

Alright. I got it. You can go.

76

Yes.

77

You heard it all?

78

I heard.

79

Noble Consort got startled. Hope she won't scream out any problems.

80

Noble Consort, if she were to really scream out something,

81

it would be Empress who should be scared first.

82

From Noble Consort's pulse shape,

83

it's only a bit of confusion from being startled.

84

There's no other symptom.

85

Then she really got demonized?

86

Doesn't look like it.

87

I'll prescribe something for now to soothe her.

88

You have her take it first.

89

And also remember that Noble Consort has chilly feet.

90

She must continue to take mugwort baths and wine.

91

I got it.

92

Alright.

93

Mistress, eat more.

94

You've thinned out.

95

Don't come after me. Don't come.

96

Have some beef. Come on.

97

Don't come to me.

98

Mistress, please eat some food.

99

I beg you. Don't come after me.

100

Don't come to me.

101

Eat.

102

A'Rou.

103

Mistress, there's no A'Rou.

104

Eat up.

105

Mistress.

106

Mistress.

107

A'Rou.

108

Come, come.

109

Mistress.

110

Yikun Palace

111

You seem to be in a pretty good mood today.

112

Shaman dance the ceremony.

113

Ghost fires disappeared.

114

No ghost fires and I'm in a good mood.

115

I'm in a good mood so my colors are good too.

116

Then let's go out and stroll a bit today.

117

Noble Consort is ill.

118

We should go visit her in Xianfu Palace.

119

Alright.

120

So many rumors rampant all over the palace making everyone in a panic. What is this impropriety?

121

The palace staff love to gossip when they're bored without chore.

122

You needn't pay heed to them.

123

If His Majesty returns and hears of all this nonsense,

124

he would blame me for not managing strict enough.

125

- Zhao Yitai.

- Present.

126

Go send my word.

127

If anyone dares to mention there's ghost in Xianfu Palace again,

128

I will have them flocked 30 times no matter who.

129

I shall follow order.

130

Empress, since Noble Consort is ill.

131

Why don't we visit her, for our sisterhood?

132

Sulian, go fetch Jingse.

133

Noble Consort looked after before so she should go visit.

134

Yes.

135

What is all this?

136

Royal Mother, I'm scared.

137

You don't need to stay here anymore.

138

Lianxin, take princess out.

139

Yes.

140

Princess, let's go play outside.

141

Careful, Your Highness.

142

What is all this fuss?

143

Mistress.

144

Mistress? It's me. Hurry and get up.

145

Empress is here. I'll help you get up.

146

Her Highness is here?

147

I'll help you get up.

148

Your Highness.

149

Alright, you don't need to get up. Lay resting.

150

Look at how sickly you are.

151

Has the royal physician come by to check?

152

He's already stopped by.

153

Moxin.

154

May you take a look, Empress and Concubine Jia.

155

What is this?

156

Mistress keeps seeing A'Rou appearing at Xianfu Palace.

157

So she has everyone who comes through take a look.

158

In order to evade anyone getting something filthy attached to them and coming in here.

159

- Absurd.

- The ghost isn't here yet and she's startled herself thoroughly.

160

- Take it down.

- No, why don't you believe me?

161

Your Highness, A'Rou comes to find me everyday.

162

Sometimes she just stands right there by the dining table.

163

Sometimes she is right at my bedside.

164

Shut that mouth.

165

You're a noble consort and you're throwing this unsightly thing in the palace.

166

Consort Xian is startled too.

167

But she only hired a shaman to do an exorcism.

168

But it's you with this ominous aura here.

169

Don't dare to say that.

170

If you keep saying nonsense, A'Rou will come again.

171

I already asked about it.

172

Xianfu Palace, aside from you, no one even saw A'Rou.

173

Only you're talking nonsense.

174

No.

175

Come, Princess.

176

You can't catch her.

177

Try. You can't catch her.

178

I don't want to play anymore. What is this eagle catch chicken game?

179

I like the trick you did with snakes last time, Shuangxi. Where are the snakes now?

180

- I'll take you to go play snakes then.

- Alright.

181

Madam Xian.

182

You're cordial, Princess.

183

Xingxuan, where's Noble Consort?

184

My mistress is with Empress.

185

And Concubine Jia, conversing.

186

I had thought Noble Consort might have the same illness that befell me so I wanted to visit her.

187

This is Buddhist scripture personally transcribed by Anhua Hall's master monk.

188

When you read it a bit daily, you feel some solace.

189

Hand it to Noble Consort for me.

190

Thank you, Consort Xian. My mistress might be able to be assured.

191

Shuangxi can tame snakes?

192

I'll go back and have Sanbao look into it.

193

Your Highness.

194

A'Rou. Why does she come to me so often?

195

Is it because you're so high in vigor and blessing.

196

That she's scared to go to you and only comes to me?

197

I am suffering your share, aren't I?

198

What nonsense are you saying?

199

How am I talking nonsense?

200

Your Highness, the incident framing Consort Xian. You know it all.

201

The fire in Cold Palace. The contortion in her food.

202

You were involved in all these though.

203

Even when Consort Xian got poisoned with arson.

204

Was that your doing too?

205

Your Highness.

206

Noble Consort. I had regard for our sisterhood.

207

So I never sought you out for the crazed nonsense you would say once in a while.

208

But if you dare to slander me, I shall never forgive you.

209

Your Highness, you can't abandon me.

210

Those things, I clearly did them for you.

211

Concubine Jia.

212

Noble Consort, are you delusional from the illness or have you gone truly mad?

213

Such nonsense and you can still spew them out?

214

You've been a noble consort for six years.

215

The entire survival and glory of Gao clan.

216

That gets cut off by you just like this?

217

Don't you find it regrettable?

218

Empress, Noble Consort's not in her proper wit. We needn't pay attention to her.

219

I will not take her seriously of course.

220

You get yourself awaken.

221

Your Highness, don't go.

222

- Mistress.

- Don't go.

223

Clear all this mess.

224

I did it all for you. All for you, Your Highness.

225

A'Rou comes to me everyday.

226

She shouldered my offense and she shouldered yours!

227

Empress, don't go.

228

It's only Spring but it's already so hot.

229

His Majesty will return soon and Empress is preparing for it.

230

It's only you who has the leisure to stroll with me.

231

I am accompanying you by Empress's intention.

232

Concubine Jia, your slap was good.

233

Noble Consort talking nonsense. She does need to clear up.

234

She wants to slander who?

235

Don't worry about it. She can't slander anyone.

236

My mistress is so virtuous.

237

She can only be frustrated internally since she can't ruin the dignity of the central palace.

238

It's fortunate you were there.

239

What am I scared of?

240

I already slapped her.

241

Just that we will need to find a way.

242

To stuff that crazed biting mouth of Noble Consort.

243

You're right. I am worried too.

244

What if she goes mad and she doesn't even care about the Gao clan.

245

And when His Majesty hears those words, what will happen?

246

Then we will need to find a way to make it so that no one believes what she says.

247

How can it be so no one believes her?

248

She's already confused.

249

If she could just go mad altogether that would be great.

250

Then whatever slandering she made up.

251

That much more reason for no one to believe her.

252

But how do we achieve that?

253

Sister Moxin. Interior bureau sent this calming incense.

254

Go now.

255

- Is Mistress asleep?

- Not yet.

256

Calming incense was delivered. I'll go burn it for her so she's better.

257

- Where is Mistress?

- She's in the shrine.

258

Your Highness, His Majesty will come for sure.

259

Empress, Emperor has returned to Palace.

260

- He's coming to Changchun Palace now. You should hurry and prepare your welcome.

- Really?

261

It's true indeed. He didn't go elsewhere at all.

262

Only to us.

263

Hurry.

264

Greetings to Your Majesty.

265

You're waiting for me?

266

I have a few words I'd like to say to you.

267

Li Yu, tell Empress.

268

I will have dinner with her so she needn't wait now.

269

And bring Shuangxi who serves Noble Consort to me.

270

Yes.

271

Shuangxi, His Majesty summons you.

272

Me? Why me?

273

Why would he summon me?

274

Come. Take him.

275

I didn't do anything.

276

Why would His Majesty capture me?

277

I didn't do anything. Your Majesty.

278

Beat him hard.

279

Your Majesty, Shuangxi already confessed.

280

He was the one who did the poisonous snakes in Cold Palace.

281

And it was also Noble Consort who bribed Ma to put a hand in Consort Xian's food.

282

And the arson, did they say?

283

Not yet.

284

Yuhu, go to punishment bureau and watch Shuangxi personally.

285

You must ask clearly and thoroughly without leaving anything out.

286

Yes.

287

Mistress, it's me. It's me.

288

What's wrong?

289

Shuangxi was taken by Eunuch Jin Bao and never returned.

290

I had someone go ask and they said Shuangxi stole something.

291

Shuangxi got taken away?

292

Shuangxi knows a lot about us.

293

If this doesn't fare, we need Sir Gao to find a way.

294

To pull Shuangxi out no matter how.

295

Why did they take Shuangxi? Hasn't His Majesty return?

296

His Majesty is already back. He's at Changchun Palace.

297

Then I will go beg him to release Shuangxi.

298

Mistresss, it's dark outside.

299

Then A'Rou will come again.

300

I won't go yet. Go tomorrow.

301

Noble Consort is really that ill?

302

Illness of the heart is not the same as illness of the body.

303

It's harder to recover.

304

I don't believe in talk of ghosts.

305

It's usually people who feel guilty that scare themselves.

306

I just want to know it's ghost in both places.

307

Why is it that Consort Xian was fine after a few days.

308

But for Noble Consort, she's bedridden.

309

I don't know either.

310

I went to visit her and she seemed confused.

311

I couldn't calm her.

312

May you be laxed in worrying. She will get better.

313

I will go visit her again.

314

If state affairs are keeping you busy,

315

you needn't go to Xianfu Palace personally.

316

So you don't get sick.

317

After she's better, I will let you know.

318

Next month, all the divisions will come to court.

319

Harem affairs are many. You don't need to go see Noble Consort.

320

Let her recover by herself.

321

Yes.

322

The Yu clan will come to court as well at the time.

323

Concubine Jia birthed my first son after ascension.

324

Her merit is high and I plan to promote her to Consort.

325

While her maiden clan is here, to promote her then,

326

you are honoring her clan.

327

Noble Consort, what brings you here?

328

Hurry and announce. I want to see His Majesty.

329

Noble Consort, if it's over Shuangxi's matter, then please go for now.

330

Shuangxi's matter, I fear even your plea won't work.

331

What precious thing did he steal?

332

Even my words are useless now?

333

Replying to Your Highness, Shuangxi swiped a jade tag used by the late emperor.

334

Last night Jin Bao brought him in and before we could flock him much,

335

he already confessed everything.

336

What jade? How come I don't know about it?

337

You are ill so naturally you don't need to know anything, or else it might harm your health.

338

His Majesty also said nothing is linked to you so you should go back and rest for now.

339

Then Shuangxi confessed.

340

What did he confess?

341

What he did.

342

That's what he confessed.

343

Noble Consort.

344

- Mistress.

- Hurry and help her up.

345

Mistress.

346

Your Majesty, I did wrong. I know I wronged.

347

Your Majesty. I wronged. Your Majesty.

348

I wronged, Your Majesty.

349

I know I wronged now.

350

Your Majesty, I wronged.

351

Please forgive me. Forgive me.

352

Noble Consort.

353

- Mistress. Mistress.

- Send royal physician.

354

- Mistress.

- Noble Consort.

355

Mistress, wake up.

356

Mistress.

357

Noble Consort is not well. From now on,

358

if anyone helps Noble Consort leave Xianfu Palace, His Majesty will not forgive you.

359

Yes.

360

Your Majesty.

361

Your Majesty, I heard Noble Consort passed out suddenly.

362

You won't go see her?

363

I don't want to see her.

364

Is this apricot and lotus seeds?

365

Lotus seeds dissipates heat. With your mood now, it's suitable to have to drink this.

366

Whatever needed to be spitted out, Shuangxi has already done it.

367

This is the confession. Take a look.

368

Shuangxi wasn't aware about the snake incident in Jingyang Palace.

369

As for the snake in Cold Palace, he has admitted to doing it.

370

Your Majesty, don't you find it strange?

371

He committed many wrongdoings. Why didn't he admit to this then?

372

Perhaps, it's because Shuangxi has done too many wrongdoings for the top people

373

that he can't even recall everything.

374

A'Rou is dead and Gao is gravely ill.

375

With this kind of guilt, who else could it be other than her?

376

I think that Madam Gao is very ruthless in doing things

377

but she's not that resourceful and intelligent.

378

Your Majesty, Madam Gao relies on the Empress.

379

Ruyi, she is my official wife for many years.

380

I don't believe and I don't dare to believe that that she's not related to this.

381

Sit.

382

Moreover, everything doesn't point to her yet.

383

If I were to suddenly investigate her now, there will be unrest in the harem.

384

How will you punish Noble Consort then?

385

I have always thought that Madam Gao is just a capricious person

386

and flighty. I didn't expect that

387

she would do such things in the background. I'm very disappointed with her.

388

I will imprison her in Xianfu Palace till she dies.

389

But Lord Gaobin didn't commit any serious wrongdoings.

390

Furthermore, he's also a very useful person to me in the imperial court.

391

I can't, because of Madam Gao's lapses,

392

be angry with her father.

393

Hence, to the outsiders,

394

I won't punish him.

395

She is also my only Noble Consort.

396

Your Majesty, by punishing Madam Gao this way,

397

it's very hard for me to put down my hatred of being framed.

398

Ruyi, Madam Gao is sick now.

399

It's better to die than to live. Later,

400

I won't let the Imperial Physician treat her again.

401

By the way, it will be the one month's confinement for Concubine Yu soon.

402

Tomorrow, I will get someone to hand Yongqi over to you to take care of him.

403

Thank you, Your Majesty.

404

Mistress, you have suffered for a long time. Noble Consort will finally get what she deserves.

405

You did well.

406

What did I do? We weren't happy with A'Ruo's death.

407

We merely took advantage of the situation and used some phosphorus powder.

408

If Noble Consort didn't harm the children of Concubine Yu and Concubine Mei and forced A'Ruo to confess to the crimes,

409

she wouldn't have felt guilty.

410

Jiang Yubin replaced her Artemisia with Absinthe.

411

She kept having illusions.

412

She went crazy from being scared. She deserves to be punished for her sins.

413

Noble Consort should be punished for her sins

414

but I'm not satisfied.

415

I wasn't the only one who was harmed by her.

416

Mistress, don't be anxious. His Majesty doesn't want to touch the Empress.

417

But the truth will finally be out one day.

418

Let's go to sleep now.

419

420

Clan Jin is an example for good character.

421

Modest and prudent, garnering royal decree from Empress Dowger.

422

To promote to Consort Jia.

423

Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager for your graces.

424

Long live the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

425

Celebrate.

426

You got promoted to consort. Are you happy?

427

With Your Majesty's pampering, I'm very happy.

428

Among my concubines,

429

you are the most informed and interesting.

430

If I don't think of you, who else would I think of then?

431

I just want to

432

surround you, encompass you,

433

tag along with you and attract you.

434

You have already given birth to a son

435

and you are still so playful.

436

Mistress, slow down.

437

You were praying with the Empress and everyone just now. You must be tired.

438

Let's go back and rest.

439

I'm not tired. Let's go to Kunning Palace to see Ling Yunche.

440

Okay.

441

Greetings, Concubine Ruyi.

442

Guard Ling, please wait.

443

My Lady, do you have any instructions?

444

I have already done what you entrusted to me.

445

Although Wei Yanwan is still working at the flower house

446

but she only needs to deliver flowers to the palace.

447

She won't need to suffer the hardship of planting and farming.

448

Thank you, My Lady, for your kindness.

449

Look at your smile. Are you really that happy that she has changed her mind?

450

She didn't leave willingly.

451

I don't want to blame her and make her sad.

452

Since you like her that much, after a few years,

453

you can request His Majesty to approve your marriage with her.

454

A loving couple will bring good prospects.

455

Thank you, My Lady, for your kindness.

456

This is the newly concocted Jade cream by Jiang Yubin for the blemishes. Give this a try.

457

Older sister, I don't need this.

458

I have already tried all kinds of best medicines.

459

The blemishes have faded quite a bit but for them to entirely disappear,

460

I fear it won't be that easy.

461

If His Majesty were to see it, he will be afraid.

462

Hence, you should try his new concoction.

463

Since you have given birth, you haven't waited on His Majesty. I fear it will be soon.

464

Noble Lady Jia also gave birth to a child.

465

Why is her body still like of a young woman's?

466

That's right.

467

It's different for every woman who have given birth.

468

I don't know if I can still give birth. If I'm able to,

469

I wonder how I would be like after giving birth.

470

Older sister, you will definitely be able to give birth. After you have given birth,

471

you will even be younger like now.

472

I will borrow your blessings and give birth to more children.

473

Mistress, Eunuch Xu is here.

474

Greetings, Concubine Ruyi, Concubine Yu.

475

Eunuch Xu, are you here to look for Concubine Ruyi?

476

His Majesty has missed Concubine Yu during your one month's confinement.

477

He has picked your name tag

478

and hope that you would wait on him tonight.

479

Coming.

480

What's wrong? Haven't seen me for a long time and you don't feel familiar anymore?

481

I...

482

too ashamed to see you.

483

What's wrong?

484

My body...

485

- Body...

- What's wrong with your body?

486

I haven't recovered from giving birth. I must have shocked you.

487

I feel ashamed.

488

It's okay. Let's talk again after you have recovered.

489

Concubine Yu, you have suffered in giving birth to Yongqi.

490

As long as he is healthy and safe, I'm relieved.

491

It's just that, I can't serve you tonight.

492

Your Majesty, please find another replacement.

493

Based on His Majesty's expression yesterday, I know that I don't need to serve him anymore.

494

I don't want to court his disgust.

495

Hailan, don't say this.

496

Use Jiang Yubin's concoction first.

497

Perhaps, you will be okay after a few years.

498

To add further, you still have Yongqi.

499

You are doing a good job of raising him.

500

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

501

I only want you and Yongqi to be safe and sound.

502

I don't care about the rest.

503

It's good that you can think this way.

504

With the three of us together, our future will get better.

505

Don't you think so?

506

Yes.

507

Help me to pick some.

508

Look, this is exquisite.

509

Royal Mother would like this.

510

Cover Yongqi. Don't let him get wet.

511

Yes. We will be careful.

512

Go back to Changchun Palace now.

513

It will be bad if others see us.

514

I'm escorting you to this place.

515

To add further, I'm protecting Her Highness' flowers.

516

By covering me and the flowers, you have drenched yourself. Didn't you even know?

517

It's not a big deal.

518

Mistress, isn't that Guard Ling?

519

The person next to him...

520

She must be Wei Yanwan.

521

I think so.

522

Concubine Ruyi?

523

It's okay. Go with me to greet her.

524

Greetings, Concubine Ruyi.

525

Greetings, Concubine Ruyi.

526

I wish you a long healthy life.

527

Get up.

528

Lift up your head.

529

You are really very beautiful.

530

Thank you for your praise. I dare not receive it.

531

Mistress, between Miss Yanwan's brows .

532

She looks a bit like you.

533

I am lowly. I don't dare to be compared to you.

534

Get up.

535

Thank you, My Lady.

536

This flower you're carrying is a famed yellow peony from Luoyang. Where are you delivering it to?

537

I was ordered to deliver this to Changchun Palace.

538

It's just that I have never been to the Empress' palace.

539

I'm afraid of making mistakes.

540

Empress is the central palace and it would be most suitable to have yelow peonies as decor.

541

I was just about to take Yongqi there to greet her.

542

You can come with me.

543

Thank you, My Lady.

544

Go back.

545

It's raining very heavily. I will wait here for you

546

and escort you back.

547

- Has Noble Consort's illness gotten any better?

- Consort Xian is here.

548

Did you go and check on her?

549

I didn't had the time to visit her lately.

550

Isn't this the Fifth Prince?

551

Greetings, Your Highness.

552

Fifth Prince greets Empress, Consort Jia.

553

Bring him here now and let me take a look.

554

Yongqi is chubby and cute.

555

Looks like Concubine Ruyi has raised him well.

556

Although Concubine Ruyi didn't give birth to the Fifth Prince

557

But Consort Xian just adores him.

558

Yongqi is strong because he was nurtured well in Concubine Yu's womb.

559

And by His Majesty and Empress's blessing.

560

Concubine Ruyi, sit.

561

Sulian, take Yongqi

562

Go rest with the maid on the side.

563

Yes.

564

Concubine Ruyi, how is Concubine Yu?

565

She is feeling much better.

566

It's just that the Imperial Physician said that when she was giving birth, her health was affected.

567

She needs to recuperate for the time being.

568

If you want to me say it, Concubine Yu should blame herself.

569

When she was pregnant, she should have watched her mouth.

570

Her own body didn't get fat.

571

But that fetus in the womb got too big.

572

So she had a hard labor and damaged her body.

573

That pitiful Imperial Physician was kicked out from the palace too.

574

What has that to do with him?

575

Talking about this, it's strange too.

576

Concubine Yu has never been a glutton.

577

Royal Physician Jiang's prenatal prescription for her does have appetite inducing effect.

578

But it's beneficial medicine to both mother and child.

579

Who would've thought all of Concubine Yu's vigor went to the child.

580

Which caused Concubine Yu's body weakened and the child too large.

581

A pregnant woman has always been like this.

582

Giving birth is a trip to hell and back.

583

It's never perfect.

584

Giving birth is a risky matter

585

But the physicians that served Concubine Yu, though they were trying to induce her labor,

586

even Physician Qi said they overused the medicine.

587

Which forced the fetus to come too soon and made Hailan bleed too much, almost losing her life.

588

Isn't this why His Majesty kicked him out from the palace?

589

A few incompetent physicians getting kicked out is no big deal.

590

What's fortunate is that the mother and child are safe. This is a blessing instead.

591

What's more important now is to nurse her health.

592

She can still give birth to a child for His Majesty in the future.

593

Yes.

594

Are you here to deliver flowers?

595

Yes.

596

Why haven't I seen you before?

597

It's my first time delivering flowers to Changchun Palace.

598

I knew that Her Highness likes peonies.

599

This is a newly cultivated yellow peonies from the floral room.

600

Hence, I'm here to deliver this to Her Highness.

601

Her Highness likes peonies. Come with me.

602

Your Highness. The flower house instructed someone to deliver a pot of peonies.

603

Leave it there.

604

This yellow peony has a nickname as king of all flowers.

605

It's chilly in the north. To have it in this weather.

606

It's rare to find this species of peonies.

607

That's right.

608

Consort Xian, the faint yellow flowers embroidered on your clothing.

609

That actually looks like the yellow peonies.
