Episode 35

21

The ancient nine provinces, restructured today.

22

Called prefectures, thirty five of them.

23

The gentlemen farm. The gentlemen trade.

24

For the nation and all the people living in prosperity.

25

Three Character Poetry

26

Greetings to Mother Xian, Mother.

27

Get up now.

28

When we went out, you were memorizing "A man at birth is fundamentally good in nature".

29

You have already memorized a lot now. You are very smart.

30

Our Yongqi is already five years old.

31

You are starting to study. It's not considered early.

32

Nanny, bring Yongqi out first.

33

I have something to say to Older Sister.

34

Yes. We are taking our leave.

35

Older Sister, after listening to what His Majesty means today,

36

it seems like he's going to give the Crown Prince title to Yongcong.

37

Yongcong is the eldest son of the Empress. Of course, he's the first choice.

38

I think it doesn't matter whether he should be the Crown Prince or not.

39

His health is more important.

40

I heard Imperial Physician Jiang said that Yongcong is just a month old

41

But due to his deficiency as fetus,

42

he's taking medicines now.

43

How could such a young baby take medicines?

44

I heard that the wet nurse feeds him with the medicine first.

45

And then, she feed him with a half portion of milk and medicinal soup.

46

It seems this deficiency illness is quite serious.

47

That's right.

48

Yongcong is already three months old and he's still doesn't has vitality.

49

He's susceptible to colds and he's not growing.

50

That's right. Seventh Prince is indeed rather weak.

51

Is he wearing the protection amulet that I got from Baoguo temple?

52

He has been wearing it.

53

I'm worried when I see him like this.

54

Why isn't he growing?

55

Could it be that milk from the wet nurse is insufficient and Seventh Prince is not full from it?

56

That's why he's lethargic and susceptible to colds.

57

Madam, ever since their duties are to breastfeed Seventh Prince,

58

I didn't dare to add any salt in their food.

59

Each meal, drinking broth made with papyrifer and vaccaria.

60

Their breast milk have been rich and thick.

61

But no matter what, Seventh Prince refused to drink it.

62

Useless.

63

Where's Qi Ru?

64

Your Highness, Imperial Physician Qi is here.

65

Tell him to go to the warm house.

66

Yes.

67

Take good care of Seventh Prince.

68

Yes.

69

How could she blame this on us?

70

Don't say anymore.

71

Stop crying.

72

Why are you fanning? You even delivered ice?

73

Don't you know that the Empress is afraid of the cold? Leave now.

74

Yes.

75

Imperial Physician Qi, tell me the truth.

76

Yongcong is already three months old.

77

He has caught cold twice.

78

This is not the season for colds.

79

Why is he so weak?

80

That's right. He's always sluggish

81

and lacks vitality. What is the reason?

82

Your Highness, Madam. I believe that,

83

Seventh Prince was born prematurely. He's very weak.

84

You must be extra careful in raising him.

85

Imperial Physician Qi, will Yongcong grow up to be an adult?

86

He is a delicate baby. If you can raise him till he's over ten years old,

87

he should be fine.

88

Ten years old?

89

Before he's ten years old, wouldn't it be risky and dangerous for him?

90

Imperial Physician Qi, by saying this,

91

aren't you scaring her?

92

I'm stating the facts.

93

When you are raising Seventh Prince, you need to be extremely attentive.

94

Let me ask you then.

95

With the health condition of Her Highness, will she be able to give birth again?

96

Madam, it's early July and it's extremely hot.

97

Her Highness doesn't dare to use ice. What do you think?

98

My body felt cold after labor. Using ice is unfathomable.

99

Even if I wear light clothing, I would still complain that it's cold.

100

Your Highness, you can use green bean and lily soup and you will be fine.

101

After drinking this, my stomach feels cold and uncomfortable.

102

Even if it's the afternoon heat, I would perspire continuously. It's hard for me.

103

This is an illness that is sensitive to both heat and chill.

104

Your Highness, you can't have go through any more labors

105

lest you ruin your essence.

106

You are asking a lot of questions.

107

Could it be that with her health,

108

it will be hard for her to be pregnant again?

109

If Her Highness wants to get pregnant again,

110

it will be extremely difficult to achieve.

111

Imperial Physician Qi, please work hard to

112

protect Seventh Prince and let him grow up into an adult safely.

113

Yes.

114

Based on what you said, the Empress' postpartum is very serious.

115

Yes. It's summer and she dares not to use ice.

116

She perspires at noon too.

117

She worries about raising Seventh Prince.

118

If she still taxes her mind on the trivial matters at the harem,

119

I fear that she will lose her vital energy.

120

It will be hard to get it back again.

121

It's the Ghost festival today. After that, it will be the Mid-Autumn festival,

122

Longevity festival, Mid-Autumn festival and the Double Ninth festival.

123

The major events will happen in the palace one after another.

124

It will definitely put a strain on the Empress.

125

I understand. You can leave.

126

Yes.

127

Ruyi, the sky is full of stars.

128

Do you have any wishes? Make it now.

129

I heard that it's very effective for wishes made on the day of Qixi.

130

I only hope to be with you for a long time.

131

How long is that?

132

As long as it takes.

133

And we are together.

134

We will never leave each other again. Excellent.

135

Ruyi, I have something to discuss with you.

136

The Empress has postpartum. She wouldn't be able to manage the harem.

137

Empress Dowager is already old

138

and will gradually be unable to do it. After thinking about this,

139

you used to manage the harem. I think you are still the most reliable.

140

I'm not that thorough in doing tasks.

141

Can you ask Consort Chun to do it?

142

She is gentle but soft-hearted and doesn't has any opinions.

143

Things in the six palaces are complicating. I fear she won't be of help to you.

144

You have already thought of this and you are still asking me.

145

I want you to work. Of course, I have a reward for you.

146

- Jinbao.

- Yes.

147

Is this exclusive only to me?

148

This is lacquered flower. I made it especially for 7th year.

149

The Empress has Bergamot flower.

150

It's the Hydrangea flower for Consort Chun.

151

Consort Jia has Gardenia.

152

It's the Wild Rose for Consort Yu and Pearl Orchid for Consort Shu.

153

Everyone has one but the rose,

154

is only for you. It shows that our affections are different.

155

Just like what you said, for a long, long time. I hope you like this.

156

This rose really matches you.

157

- Does it looks good on me?

- Yes.

158

Ruyi, I hope that we really can be together for a long time.

159

It's Ghost Festival today.

160

Everyone must remember all the taboos.

161

This door, wipe it clean. It's never wiped clean.

162

You must mirror yourself in the water pan on entrance and exit.

163

Can't speak in taboo.

164

Everyone careful.

165

The weather was fine earlier but why is it raining now?

166

We can't even put a flower lantern.

167

This Ghost Festival is supposed to be the night when ghosts come out.

168

This rain is just getting harder and it won't stop anytime soon.

169

As it says, ghosts don't walk on dry land.

170

Look at how you talk. It's so scary.

171

Yes. Then we shouldn't do this and go back instead.

172

Let's go. Go.

173

And the well?

174

Yongcong. Yongcong.

175

Mom's here. Don't be scared.

176

Good.

177

Good.

178

Yongcong. Hurry and close the door.

179

Babies have clear eyes. He may see some filthy things.

180

Your Highness, we should serve the Buddha statue here.

181

Sulian, go escort the Buddha status in my shrine.

182

Yes.

183

Your Highness, it's raining harder and harder outside.

184

Your Highness. Your Highness.

185

Your Highness.

186

Who is it?

187

Your Highness, I'm Lixin from Qixiang Palace.

188

My mistress has been in labor for many hours but no delivery yet. Please go have a look.

189

It's not like Consort Jia never gave birth before.

190

Have the midwives and royal physicians care after them.

191

- Yes.

- Hurry and go back.

192

Don't be scared.

193

Let it be so painful!

194

She's about to birth. Hurry and get His Majesty.

195

It's so stormy. Even if I go now,

196

His Majesty might not be willing to come.

197

You guys are such useless things!

198

Ying'er. Ying'er. Ying'er.

199

Go get His Majesty.

200

Me?

201

Who else but you? Go?

202

Stop there. What are you doing?

203

Which palace are you from?

204

I'm Ying'er, a palace maid of Qixiang Palace.

205

Eunuch Li, Consort Jia's having a hard labor.

206

Can His Majesty come look?

207

His Majesty is discussing affairs with Sir Gao Bin and instructed us not to disturb him.

208

How about this? Once Sir Gao is out, I will report to him. You're all drenched.

209

Jin Zhong, you escort Ying'er back to Qixiang Palace.

210

Yes.

211

Ying'er, you're bullied at Qixiang Palace.

212

- No. No.

- No?

213

Then why would a chore of running in the rain be yours?

214

It's a pity. Such a pretty face and buried in Qixiang Palace.

215

Eunuch Jin Zhong.

216

I'm just the lowest palace maid.

217

No one has said such warm words to me in such a long time.

218

Careful of water.

219

Lowly or not, it depends on who still.

220

Since Wang Qin committed bastardly deeds, Palace has stopped marriage of eunuch and palacemaid.

221

But in the dark, which eunuch and which palacemaid wouldn't want to rely on each other.

222

My master Li Yu climbed to his position today relying on Noble Consort Xian.

223

Ying'er. Your pretty face, will you be daring to bet?

224

If I can make it happen,

225

you can be my stairs before His Majesty for me to climb.

226

If I can't,

227

then you be with me and no one will dare to bully you.

228

How is that?

229

Eunuch Jin Zhong. Take favor in me.

230

Let me make the bet.

[ Qixiang Palace ]

233

This is the full-month present Empress and Emperor granted?

234

Yes. All by the rule.

235

Nothing more and nothing less.

236

When 7th Prince was full-month they were given 10 times more.

237

Why do they play by the rule now when it comes to me?

238

Why crying?

239

Here, take him.

240

What's the use of crying?

241

It's better to make a couple of cat cries like 7th prince to win favor from His Majesty.

242

Since his birth, His Majesty personally granted the name Yongcong.

243

8th Prince is already full-month and finally interior bureau gave him the name Yongxuan.

244

Don't take me as someone who doesn't understand semantics.

245

What does 'xuan' mean? It means second class jade.

246

- Don't be upset.

- How can I not be upset?

247

His Majesty only cares about that sickly kid. He won't even bat an eye to 8th Prince.

248

Yes! I heard from the servants outside,

249

that our 8th Prince was born on Ghost Festival.

250

But that 7th Prince was born from Buddha. One is a ghost and one's a Buddha.

251

What nonsense!

252

Those people outside saying that to flatter 7th prince.

253

You dare to say that too?

254

I know my wrong.

255

Ying'er. What are you doing standing there? Get in.

256

What's the sneaking around for?

257

Replying to Your Highness, Royal Physician said you just passed the full-month.

258

You need to wipe the body with hot ginger water to prevent body weakening and chilling.

259

I just boiled this water.

260

The night 8th Prince was born, why didn't you invite His Majesty here?

261

You useless thing.

262

Go.

263

I greet Your Majesty.

264

Everyone, get up.

265

You finally remembered that today is Yongxuan's full-month.

266

Today is Mid-Autumn and Yongxuan's full-month. Of course I would come and see you two.

267

It's so hot and you could go straight to Changchun Palace.

268

Why do you insist on coming to Imperial Garden?

269

Imperial Garden's jade lilies should be blooming soon. Since it's too early to pay morning visit, let's go see first.

270

Yes.

271

Greetings to Noble Consort.

272

8th Prince greets Noble Consort Xian.

273

8th Prince is growing so well.

274

Thank you for your praise.

275

Ying'er.

276

I'm here.

277

Dumb chick.

278

It's so hot and you're lazy about fanning.

279

What a sloth.

280

Consort Jia, a palace maid who isn't swift at chore doesn't require your anger.

281

I'm just reprimanding a maid.

282

Noble Consort Xian, what's there for you to ache?

283

His Majesty is here.

284

Greetings to Your Majesty.

285

Greetings, Your Majesty.

286

It's so hot and why are you talking here?

287

I was just joking with Noble Consort Xian.

288

You are heading to visit 7th Prince, Your Majesty?

289

Yes. Yongcong is docile and cute.

290

I miss him so much when I don't see him for a day.

291

My 8th Prince misses his brother too.

292

I was going to go and greet Her Highness too.

293

What's that sound?

294

Your Majesty, I think a palace maid got slapped.

295

She can't bear her pain on her face.

296

It was my failure to manage strictly and someone disturbed His Majesty.

297

Shut up.

298

Yes.

299

Empress and I are always generous with our servants.

300

I've never heard of a palace maid getting slapped so hard she can't bear the pain.

301

Jin Zhong, let me see.

302

Yes.

303

Your Majesty, it must be her.

304

She looks sharp enough.

305

Under the trump vines, she seems to resemble you some.

306

Your Majesty, allow me to say something out of my place.

307

This palace maid has auspicious image.

308

She really does bear resemblance to Noble Consort Xian between the brows.

309

But she doesn't compare to the elegance of Noble Consort.

310

What are you waiting for? Greet His Maejsty.

311

Greetings to Your Majesty from Qixiang Palace maid Ying'er.

312

Ying'er. What 'ying'?

313

My surname is Wei. My original name is Yanwan.

314

It is 'yanwan' as in a good hour.

315

Ying'er is name granted to me by my mistress.

316

Using the 'ying' in cherry blossom.

317

Your face is red. You got pinched?

318

No. Mistress is light-handed.

319

It is because my skin is white that it looks red.

320

What an ingrate. I saw that you were dumb and ill at service that I lightly pinched you.

321

You putting on this show is for who to see?

322

This injury on her hand is a light pinch too?

323

Your Majesty, I know my wrong.

324

I was just brash when I was pregnant that I hit her.

325

Her old wounds coupled with new wounds.

326

I don't think you only hit her when you were pregnant.

327

Your Majesty.

328

You said you're name is Ying'er. It was Consort Jia who named it?

329

Mistress granted me a new name out of kindness.

330

Pompous! You clearly knew Noble Consort Xian's old name was Qingying.

331

You name her that? It's truly offensive.

332

Your Majesty, I didn't mean to.

333

I didn't think about that.

334

You don't need to be called Ying'er anymore.

335

Go back to your original name of Yanwan and you don't need to go back to Qixiang Palace anymore.

336

Yes.

337

Good-hour Yanwan.

338

You've studied?

339

A few years ago, I was in Noble Consort Chun's palace.

340

Serving First Prince and I studied a bit along him.

341

At the time, you also talked to me, Your Majesty.

342

I'm already 22 years in age now.

343

Your Majesty, Yanwan is at a good age to leave the palace to return to her home.

344

Perhaps you can grant her a marriage.

345

Like a guard?

346

So she can be consoled for the sufferings in the palace.

347

Ruyi, I think she's very sharp.

348

I will take her to the imperial palace to be a palace maid. What do you think?

349

How about we ask Miss Yanwan instead?

350

Wei Yanwan, you needn't be scared.

351

Be bold and tell us if you want His Majesty to release you from the palace with a marriage.

352

Noble Consort Xian is asking you a question.

353

Since I entered the palace, everything is Your Majesty's.

354

I wish to serve Your Majesty.

355

Great. Jin Zhong, take her to imperial palace and teach her rules.

356

- Yes.

- Your Majesty.

357

What? You don't want to release her?

358

I don't dare.

359

You don't need to go to Changchun Palace anymore.

360

Go back to your own palace and repent.

361

Go.

362

I take my leave.

363

Your Majesty, then I will take Miss Yanwan to Yangxin Palace.

364

Alright.

365

Your Majesty, you really care about that Yanwan.

366

Consort Jia bullies her with intention to mock you.

367

I transferred her to my palace and Consort Jia knows my intent.

368

She won't be so pompous anymore.

369

I thank Your Majesty.

370

I will go with you to Changchun Palace.

371

I feel a bit tired and I want to rest. I'll go later.

372

Alright.

373

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

374

What are you thinking?

375

Are you thinking about Consort Jia playing with your name.

376

Or thinking about His Majesty arranging Yanwan to his palace?

377

Neither.

378

I just thought of Ling Yunche's request.

379

Wei Yanwan has left Qixiang Palace.

380

But Ling Yunche and her might be impossible.

381

But His Majesty, if he is fond of someone,

382

he could've just sent decree to take her.

383

Why would he need to have someone teach her rules of palace?

384

Though it's true, I saw how Wei Yanwan was.

385

You intentionally brought up Guard Ling but you couldn't stop her.

386

Mistress Yu also said before.

387

This Wei Yanwan has her eyes on His Majesty.

388

This time I fear --

389

What happened today, you better let Ling Yunche be aware.

390

Yes.

391

But telling him doesn't change anything.

392

Ling Yunche won't be able to keep her.

393

I hope Ling Yunche won't be tormented like last time.

394

When Noble Consort Xian asked you earlier, why did you hesitate?

395

Nothing. I was just scared of saying something wrong and court His Majesty's dislike.

396

Then you be assured. His Majesty likes you.

397

This is Imperial Palace's clothing. Chang into it.

398

Eunuch Jin Zhong, I'm in Yangxin Hall now.

399

What am I, exactly?

400

What are you?

401

Then it's up to your own skill.

402

How did you answer me then?

403

If this doesn't fare,

404

then you will be with me quietly.

405

If this fares,

406

then you will thank me with your lifelong glory.

407

You're only half a step into your smooth path.

408

Don't slip and fall off the cloud now.

409

Eunuch Jin Zhong, please teach me well.

410

You're only a palace maid even though you're in Yangxin Palace now. You are not successful.

411

Only when His Majesty takes you as a concubine,

412

that you will have a good path waiting for you. Got that?

413

I got it.

414

You're smart enough.

415

Change and dress up nicely.

416

Send tea to His Majesty to thank him.

417

Remember. Seize His Majesty's heart nicely.

418

I've done all I can for you.

419

It's up to you now how your path will look.

420

His Majesty is inside. Hurry and go in.

421

Your Majesty.

422

I thank Your Majesty for rescuing me, for pitying me.

423

Get on up.

424

Thank you, Your Majesty.

425

I don't pity just you.

426

It were someone else, getting beaten like this,

427

I wouldn't look the other eye either.

428

Consort Jia is indeed tyranny.

429

She even changed your name to Noble Consort Xian's maiden name.

430

Your Majesty. I am --

431

I thought you remembered back then in Imperial Garden.

432

When you talked to me.

433

What did I say?

434

You said, my name was very good.

435

Akin to what was said in Beauty Ode. Regal like the moon. Delicate like Spring.

436

I remember now.

437

That day you worked in Noble Consort Chun's palace, tending to Yonghuang.

438

You finally remember me now.

439

I will die in bliss then.

440

What else did I say?

441

You also said, one day,

442

you will seek bliss in the best hour.

443

I said that to you too?

444

Then Your Majesty, your words are that of an emperor.

445

You must be true to them.

446

Emperor's words are true, naturally.

447

But what I said then, you mustn't misunderstand.

448

And it's been so long.

449

Whether I said that, I can't know for sure.

450

Your Majesty, forgive me for being wordy.

451

You toil for state affairs day and night.

452

Even your clothing is loose.

453

You need to be measured and the clothes altered.

454

How do you know my body shape?

455

I used to work in clothing room.

456

I always made your clothes.

457

Your body shape is as clear as sun to me.

458

Back then, you didn't tend to Yonghuang yet.

459

Yes.

460

I entered Forbidden City,

461

for the reason there's you in here.

462

If I can see you, no matter how far away you are,

463

I feel warm.

464

Now, you are so close to me.

465

I feel hot.

466

Since my clothing doesn't fit me anymore.

467

Then let's add some new ones.

468

You measure me.

469

I don't dare.

470

Why not? I said to measure, then measure.

471

Your Majesty.

472

I deserve death.

473

You came just in time. Send my decree.

474

Promote palace maid Wei Yanwan as Second Class Attendant.

475

Grant her residence to be Yongshou Palace. She's to tend to my sleep tonight. And give her two palace maids.

476

Yes. I will take Second Class Attendant Wei to Yongshuo Palace.

477

Thank you, Your Majesty.

478

By rules, you should be sitting in Phoenix Wind Carriage to Yangxin Palace.

479

Why are you walking there?

480

I got used to walking as palace maid.

481

Step by step with my foot printed on the ground, I feel more steady going to Yangxin Palace.

482

Chunchan, pick out the best prizes sent by interior bureau to send to Jin Zhong.

483

Yes. You are generous to the old relations.

484

You haven't forgotten me and Lancui.

485

We will be loyal to you until death.

486

Chunchan, wait for me up front.

487

Yes.

488

Let's go.

489

Why are you here?

490

I need to go service in bed.

491

I don't have much time to talk to you.

492

What you want to say should be said now.

493

Did someone force you?

494

I wanted myself.

495

You suffered in floral room.

496

You said you wanted to come back to me.

497

I ask you. Those words you said to me.

498

Were they to deceive me?

499

Of course not.

500

At the time, to be able to marry you,

501

it was my best exit and most honest thought.

502

So I was only an exit, is that right?

503

These years I've been harassed and bullies by Consort Jia.

504

Not a day goes by that I wished to be granted marriage to you so I can escape this ghostly place.

505

But I started to discover.

506

Other than myself.

507

No one can help me.

508

Yanwan.

509

Have you discovered that you've changed?

510

I've never changed. It was you who didn't understand me.

511

Long ago, I was a lady of a Baoyi clan.

512

But my father lost power and was punished.

513

We could only do harsh work in the palace.

514

I could only be a lowly palace maid.

515

Let others shame me and be their servants.

516

These days, I don't wish to live another one.

517

So you will court a temporary favor with your youth and beauty.

518

Noble Consort Xian is so wise but she couldn't be spared from entering Cold Palace.

519

If one day you have nothing,

520

you will ache so much but with no way to return.

521

When I was in the clothing room,

522

all day, I could only see the highest quality fabric.

523

I can only toil and iron what I don't suit to wear.

524

Now look. I'm dressed to beautifully.

525

Others tend to bed.

526

Arriving in Phoenix Wind Carriage.

527

Do you know why I want to walk there?

528

I want my first day,

529

to measure with my own feet,

530

the distance from palace maid before to tomorrow's favored concubine.

531

How much more I have to go.

532

You've chosen your own road.

533

Walk on it well.

534

I only wish.

535

That you will never live to regret.

536

As long as you don't block my path,

537

I will walk very far and very well.

538

I know I owe you.

539

Brother Yunche.

540

Second Attendant Wei, you are too cordial.

541

Mistress. It's getting late.

542

I need to go.

543

Your subject, Ling Yunche.

544

Bidding farewell to Attendant Wei.
