Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

20

Episode 41

21

Lament.

22

Empress Xiaoxian's memorial tablet

23

Yonghuang, why do you not shed one tear for your main mother?

24

I was thinking you were extremely sad.

25

And so I need to help you manage the funeral for Royal Mother.

26

I don't dare to be overly sad, in order not to mess up my chore.

27

Is that so?

28

Yes, Royal Father, Eldest Brother has been saying that he's the eldest and he needs to assist you.

29

So he doesn't dare to lament overly and he's been leading us in our funeral preparations for Royal Mother.

30

Hence Yongzhang, you saw your big brother so you didn't even shed half a tear, is that right?

31

Royal Father, these days since Royal Mother passed away, you've been drowning in sorrow.

32

It pains me and I also feel that I must be clear-minded and controlled.

33

In order to share your burdens, hence I don't dare to exhaust in sorrow.

34

Alright.

35

At this time, you're thinking of me suddenly.

36

Please be consoled.

37

Please be consoled. Don't let sorrow harm your health.

38

Unfilial son! Unfilial son!

39

Your Majesty, may your anger be dissipated.

40

Empress Xiaoxian is your main mother and she died. Why don't you feel sorrow?

41

Excuse of sharing my burden is purely questionable motive! Impure in thought!

42

How can I have you ingrates as my sons?

43

May your anger be dissipated. We don't dare.

44

Your Majesty, Yongzhang is just worried about you. He's got no other motives, Your Majesty.

45

Noble Consort Chun, you've got Yongzhang already and I gave you Yonghuang to raise.

46

But you raise a kid like him for me?

47

Your Majesty, I know my wrong. Your Majesty.

48

Your Majesty, Yonghuang and Yongzhang are just worried about your health. They are not intentionally unfilial.

49

They are already like this unintentionally. Imagine if they were actually intentional!

50

I just regret I didn't let you raise Yonghuang then. In that case he wouldn't be like this today.

51

Royal Father.

52

You want to say what else? Huh?

53

You thought I didn't know?

54

Empress Xiaoxian died. You thought you were the most senior among the princes.

55

So you thought you could take on the heaviest responsibility and harbor greedy intention. Is that right?

56

Royal Father, I certainly never. May you see it clearly.

57

You dare to say you don't have it?

58

These days of mourning.

59

You never regarded yourself as the eldest hence, extraordinary?

60

I saw these all and heard them all.

61

You don't deserve to be my son. No sense of filial devotion.

62

I didn't.

63

Your Majesty, even if Yonghuang did have those thoughts,

64

Yongzhang never had any greedy intentions.

65

Your Majesty, Yongzhang is only 14 years in age. What does he know?

66

It's you being the mother that is the cause of such sloppy son!

67

Yongzhang rivals Yonghuang in every petty thing, trying to steal the crown prince seat.

68

And you too, Noble Consort Chun! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!

69

Your Majesty, we wouldn't dare.

70

Subjects serve the king. Sons obey fathers. Wives follow husbands. Thee are unchanging rules.

71

You three forgot all about them completely didn't you?

72

Noble Consort Chun, I make this clear to you now. Yonghuang's words and actions are disorderly. Yongzhang has no virtues.

73

Those two would never inherit my empire. Got that?

74

Royal Father, forgive us.

75

Royal Father, forgive us.

76

Yongcheng is much better than you guys. He's got potential.

77

Royal Father, forgive us.

78

Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

79

- Royal Mother.

- Sister.

80

Noble Consort Chun.

81

Drag Noble Consort Chun out so she's not an embarrassment.

82

Royal Mother.

83

[ Zhongcui Palace ]

84

Slower. Lighter.

85

This way.

86

Don't stay here. Hurry and get the royal physician. Get some water.

87

Mistress. Mistress, wake up. Mistress.

88

Where am I?

89

Sister, Mistress is up.

90

Mistress, you're finally up. You startled me so much.

91

Mistress, are you alright?

92

Where am I?

93

We're already back at our palace.

94

No. Wasn't I at Guande Temple?

95

We --

96

Where's Yongzhang?

97

Third Prince and First Prince have been kneeling outside Yangxi Hall since they returned from Mount Jing.

98

Empress Dowager. Help me.

99

Mistress. Slow, Mistress.

100

- Empress Dowager.

- Mistress.

101

- Mistress.

- Empress Dowager.

102

Mistress.

103

Greetings to Noble Consort Chun.

104

Auntie Hu, I need to see Empress Dowager.

105

Noble Consort Chun, what happened at Guande Temple, the empress dowager already knows.

106

His Majesty is furious and no one can dissuade him.

107

Empress Dowager told me to relay the message to you. If you want to preserve your dignity and preserve 6th prince and 4th princess,

108

you must stay docile and stay at your palace.

109

Auntie, please. Let me see Empress Dowager. I will only say a few.

110

Noble Consort Chun, it's about to rain.

111

You should go to Yangxin Hall and take first and third princes back. Don't cause more trouble.

112

Alright. Then I will come greet Empress Dowager another time.

113

Mistress.

114

Mistress.

115

Mistress.

116

Has everyone gone?

117

Yes.

118

She failed in teaching her son well and she doesn't know to stay docile. I can't help her either.

119

Empress Xiaoxian left and who doesn't want to give it a fight?

120

All the consorts and concubines want to be the empress.

121

All the princes want to fight to be crown prince.

122

Generations of emperors shunned this part the most.

123

They got themselves in the pick and they she wants me to save her?

124

But this incident was strange.

125

When we were in Guande Hall, First and Third Prince showed no signs of sorrow at all.

126

As though they were having great understanding.

127

You look into it in detail.

128

Yes.

129

Mistress.

130

- Hurry and get up, little child.

- Mother.

131

You've been kneeling for two hours and His Majesty shows no signs of inviting you.

132

Mother, has Royal Father abandoned me?

133

He wouldn't. He wouldn't.

134

Mother.

135

Mother.

136

Mother.

137

It's stormy. You all should return.

138

Aunt Yu Hu, please I beg you. Please announce us.

139

Let the kids see His Majesty, if only just to apologize.

140

His Majesty has no intention to see you. First Prince. Third Prince.

141

His Majesty has already sent decree to punish your teachers and classmates.

142

Your teachers are to pay penalty of three years pay. Your classmates, 50 flockings.

143

You two princes should return with Noble Consort Chun. Repent quietly with your doors closed.

144

To calm your souls.

145

Royal Father. Royal Father, I will never dare to again.

146

Royal Father.

147

Royal Father.

148

I will never dare again.

149

Mother is here.

150

Your Majesty.

151

Don't abandon us mother and son.

152

Let go.

153

Royal Father.

154

I don't dare.

155

Let go.

156

I don't.

157

You got chills from being in the rain that day. Drink some medicine.

158

These days I've been sick.

159

Has anyone come to see me?

160

Usually my Zhongcui Palace is full of guests.

161

Now that my son and I are in trouble,

162

they all evade us far away.

163

Mistress, people are cold like that.

164

Getting your health back is the priority.

165

What about Consort Jia?

166

She didn't come either?

167

Consort Jia is pregnant so naturally she doesn't move much.

168

Also,

169

with the funeral now

170

is being led by Consort Jia's 4th Prince as the prince representative.

171

Yes.

172

That day at Guande Temple.

173

His Majesty reprimanded Yonghuang and Yongzhang.

174

But he complimented 4th Prince.

175

That 4th prince is still only 9 years old but everything he does he does it well.

176

So His Majesty keeps complimenting him.

177

Suyun, Sulan, you two usually love to go to other palace maids.

178

What is that noise?

179

It wasn't us. We've been wronged.

180

Hexi, Hefu.

181

Empress Xiaoxian's funeral, you two did most bargaining. Kick out too.

182

We're innocent. We're wrongly accused.

183

I'm innocent.

184

What's wrong? What's going on outside?

185

Help me get off.

186

Mistress, don't panic. Let me tell you slowly.

187

What's wrong outside?

188

Empress Xiaoxian recommended you as step empress before she passed away.

189

The entire palace talked about it.

190

His Majesty suspects people around you intentionally spread rumors of it.

191

So he's having Eunuch Jin Zhong investigate each and every one of your servants.

192

He's kicking anyone he doesn't seem pleased with.

193

How can this be?

194

Your Majesty.

195

Your Majesty is attacking my palace.

196

It's Noble Consort Xian. Did she make this happen?

197

Noble Consort Xian is busy with funeral matters. She hasn't gotten the time.

198

But when you were ill, at first the royal physician wouldn't come.

199

It was Noble Consort Xian who made the royal physician come.

200

She is so good-hearted?

201

You and Noble Consort Xian used to be chummy.

202

If it wasn't Empress Xiaoxian's passing,

203

you wouldn't have gotten distant from her either.

204

Mistress. I think you should shut the door and take time to think.

205

Once His Majesty isn't angry everything will be alright.

206

I think it's too late.

207

Yongzhang's road to crown prince seat is cut off now.

208

It's my fault.

209

It's my retribution.

210

Don't be too upset.

211

It's my retribution.

212

I keep feeling my back is sore and head's dizzy.

213

Is there something wrong?

214

May you be assured. Your fetus is all well.

215

It's just that you are overly fatigue and stressed.

216

Hence you feel unwell.

217

This funeral is exhausting.

218

I will prescribe some stable potions.

219

May you take them on time and manage your balance.

220

Thank you.

221

I will go then.

222

Lixin, walk him out.

- Yes.

223

Physician Qi, this way.

224

Greetings to 4th Prince.

225

Yongcheng is back.

226

Greetings to Mother.

227

Hurry and get up.

228

Here. You must be famished, son.

229

Eat slowly.

230

Tell me how the funeral went today.

231

Today, 4th Prince led the princes to make the greetings and he was so calm and formidable.

232

Even His Majesty praised him.

233

His Majesty heard you were fatigue from pregnancy.

234

So he had 4th prince come and greet you.

235

My son makes me so proud. Your royal father complimented you again?

236

Mother, since first and third princes got cast aside,

237

I do even better and royal father is very consoled.

238

He complimented me yesterday and again today. I'm too used to it already.

239

Come.

240

I'll tell you this. Don't be haughty. The more like this the more cautious you should be.

241

Now it's your turn to be the sole outstanding one.

242

My turn?

243

Your older brothers. Some are dead and some are deposed.

244

In terms of seniority and nobility,

245

it's your turn to be the crown prince.

246

What did you say?

247

You're the first prince upon His Majesty's ascension. You're a very precious prince.

248

Your Majesty has such high aspirations for you.

249

Or else how would he compliment you so much?

250

I really can?

251

As long as you work hard to learn.

252

And court your royal father's like.

253

Listen to me well and you and I will surely succeed.

254

As long as it's your wish, I shall make it happen.

255

Great son.

256

Eat another.

258

I've wanted to see you for many days in a row.

259

But you keep your doors shut and won't see me.

260

Too many incidents at the palace.

261

I must be careful. Not just you, but I'm not seeing others either.

262

You know everything then?

263

Do you blame me for ruining First Prince?

264

You clearly knew His Majesty detests others vying for crown prince.

265

First Prince and Third Prince, for the seat of crown prince,

266

they fight in the open and compete in the dark too. Everyone sees it.

267

I only let Yongqi, before His Majesty,

268

mention the competition for power in Ming dynasty.

269

Just that.

270

Competition in Ming Dynasty is clearly about

271

First Prince and Third Prince fighting for the crown prince seat.

272

You let Yongqi mention that to His Majesty.

273

You already calculated that His Majesty would become suspicious of Yonghuang and Yongzhang.

274

His Majesty is easily suspicious but if he would believe in his own sons.

275

Then I have no other measure.

276

Furthermore, First Prince is no longer the child under your wings of back then.

277

He sees you only as a pawn. Why do you treat him sincerely?

278

Yonghuang is mistaken in momentary calculating.

279

But Hailan.

280

Yonghuang is always sick in the prince manor for over a month without ability to get up.

281

He's a child both of us treasured before.

282

Sister, the men you love,

283

might one day abandon you for other women.

284

The child you adored might use you for his own gain.

285

You treasure love too much and that will be your biggest undoing.

286

In the harem, love is hard to come by.

287

If you let go of even that little love,

288

what else do we have?

289

Sister. I don't ask that you forgive me.

290

I am devoted to your sake completely.

291

I just hope my actions and words, you can understand.

292

Let's go.

293

Mistress, Concubine Yu.

294

Greetings to Noble Lady Ling.

295

Noble Consort is already resting. May you come another day.

296

I saw Concubine Yu leaving just now. Noble Consort is resting so soon?

297

The matters of the six palaces are tiring and my mistress is feeling fatigue.

298

Hence Concubine Yu left early.

299

Then when Her Highness is awake, please let her know I came.

300

Be assured, Noble Lady Ling.

301

Mistress, don't be too concerned.

302

You're not the only one Noble Lady Xian isn't seeing.

303

She's evading all the consorts and concubines.

304

Noble Lady Xian is being very careful.

305

Actually Consort Jia is also a contender in empress seat.

306

Everyone's going to Qixiang Palace right now.

307

Do you think Consort Jia has possibility to earn empress seat?

308

Consort Jia has been giving births in succession and she's favored by His Majesty.

309

Actually no matter if it's Noble Consort Xian or Noble Consort Chun who gets promoted to empress,

310

it's no matter to us, but if it's Consort Jia,

311

she is not one easily existing with. You may be her first target.

312

Perhaps we should lower our heads first.

313

And regard it as saving silk for the raining day?

314

Fine. Let's go to Qixiang Palace.

315

Mistress, Consort Yu's action,

316

if it's for your sake, you can't find fault in her.

317

Wouldn't I know that?

318

Even though I know Yonghuang calculates me,

319

what I think of is that little one.

320

That Yonghuang who studied under my knees.

321

That Yonghuang who called me mother.

322

What I am sad about is that he was such a great child.

323

He's gone in the end.

324

Greetings to Consort Jia.

325

Oh, it's Noble Lady Ling.

326

Seeing how you made your greetings,

327

that was from a noble lady. But I feel like,

328

you still seem like that servant who served our mistress then.

329

Miss Lixin is being funny.

330

When we used to serve Mistress together,

331

we sure laughed like that though.

332

Seeing where you're coming from, you must have gone to Yikun Palace just now.

333

Did you get to see Noble Consort Xian?

334

I didn't go in. I fear Noble Consort Xian must be napping now.

335

You believe that?

336

I think it was because she didn't want to see you.

337

You used to brown nose Noble Consort Chun so much before. Massaging her shoulders and legs and all.

338

Now you're changing your pointer to brown nose Noble Consort Xian.

339

Will she give you a care?

340

If it were me, I couldn't get used to your bouncing around either.

341

Where did this swallow mud come from? Dirtying up my shoe.

342

What are you guys busying with?

343

A chore like this was what Ying'er was used to doing.

344

Look at my memory here. What Ying'er?

345

It's Noble Lady Ling.

346

Consort Jia, I forgot to tidy up my mistress's nails lately.

347

I'm afraid my mistress's nails will scratch up your such nice shoe.

348

Let me do it. Mistress always compliments I wipe things clean.

349

Get away.

350

Think if you're suitable to serve me first.

351

What's going on? Noble Lady Ling?

352

You can serve Noble Consort Chun but not me?

353

Fine then. I will go and tell His Majesty.

354

Let you accompany Noble Consort Chun then.

355

Let's go.

356

Consort Jia.

357

Lower me.

358

Allow me to serve you earnestly.

359

His Majesty remembers you saved Empress Xiaoxian.

360

Besides the reward last time, he wants to reward you another ten rolls of satin.

361

And more appreciation. Your future is unlimited.

362

Eunuch Li, you're over generous with praise.

363

I am working in Yangxin Hall now. I ask for your kindness in watching over me.

364

Yangxin Hall guards mostly come from large clans and notable families.

365

You were an exception to start out with and His Majesty cherishes Empress Xiaoxian.

366

And he cherishes your contribution so he's seeing you in a different light and you must take advantage of this chance.

367

If His Majesty is in a good mood one day and grants you a marital match, that will be a great grace indeed.

368

Eunuch Li, don't joke with me. I have no intention to ask for marriage.

369

Actually you've been favored for quite some time though.

370

Why don't I see you pregnant?

371

You've endured so many years and you're still just a noble lady.

372

I feel aching for you.

373

Consort Jia has many children.

374

Not everyone can have your luck.

375

I'm glad you know that. You're lucky enough to serve His Majesty.

376

You don't suit.

377

Consort Jia. It's clean already.

378

Greetings to Consort Jia and --

379

Noble Lady Ling.

380

Let's go.

381

Mistress, are you alright?

382

Wipe it.

383

Thanks.

384

I'd rather be seen by His Majesty then by you.

385

This is the road you chose after wanting it so badly.

386

Fighting and competing with others daily and getting shamed.

387

Don't you find this kind of life very tiring?

388

This road isn't easy to go on for sure.

389

But it's not harder than the roads before.

390

Chunchan, let's go.

391

Bidding farewell to Noble Lady Ling.

392

Filthy. So filthy!

393

That Consort Jia is such a tyrant!

394

Saying I don't suit?

395

I fight so much and begged so much.

396

To her I still don't suit.

397

Mistress. You have to have a child of your own.

398

But I drank so much conception medicine.

399

And it's useless.

400

Since I became Noble Consort, I am less favored.

401

I don't see His Majesty for some two or three months.

402

Mistress, don't rush.

403

The more I see Consort Jia's stomach, the more I get grossed out.

404

Saying my waist is too thin and I can't get pregnant.

405

Chunchan. No matter what.

406

I must have a kid.

407

Keep covered in Spring and shed in Autumn. It's getting warmer but you mustn't wear less.

408

By the way, many are sick with cold lately in the palace.

409

You ought to be careful and come to the royal physician's court if anything comes up.

410

Yes. You should be careful too with so many chores in the physician's court.

411

Alright. See you later.

412

Suoxin.

413

Li Yu. What brings you here?

414

Did you come to look for Mistress? She went to Cining Palace.

415

No, I came looking for you.

416

You're looking for me? Is something the matter?

417

I just came from outside the palace.

418

I got a jade pin. Very nicely made.

419

I got it especially for you.

420

It's alright. I am busy running around all day and I can't wear nice things.

421

What if I accidentally drop it and break it doing work? It's not as good as a silver pin that can't be broken.

422

The velvet flower I gifted you before is already so old. This pin suits you.

423

You try it on first.

424

Li Yu, the velvet flower you gifted me before was to wish me safe and glory.

425

I thought it was really nice.

426

But this jade pin is too precious.

427

I think I better not.

428

But --

429

These years our fondness developed in surviving hardships together doesn't lie in these items.

430

Really?

431

Naturally.

432

By the way, why did Mistress Xian go to Cining Palace?

433

You know how Consort Jia felt insecure in her pregnancy?

434

Empress Dowager keeps asking about it and wants my mistress to take special care.

435

I admire Consort Jia. To be able to have children in a row is really lucky.

436

- You admire it too?

- Yep. Who doesn't admire blessing of children?

437

Look at Noble Consort Chun. Though she's implicated due to 3rd Prince,

438

she still has 6th Prince and 4th Princess.

439

Sister Suoxin.

440

I will go in first. I have chores waiting inside.

441

Alright.

442

I suppose I will never have that luck in this life.

443

Why should I cause hold up to her?

444

Your Majesty, you being angry at outsides is nothing much.

445

But Yonghuang and 3rd Prince are your biological children after all.

446

After the anger is gone, let it be gone.

447

Yonghuang is sick and no one dares to be near him.

448

3rd Prince is in despair too.

449

So pitiful actually.

450

I don't care about all other things.

451

But what I care the most is that they dare to vie for crown prince seat.

452

Your Majesty, you are in your prime time.

453

The princes wouldn't dare to have those intentions.

454

Especially Yonghuang.

455

Imperial Noble Consort Zhe Min passed away early on.

456

I have my share of lacking in responsibility too.

457

Yonghuang only has you to lean on and he wouldn't dare.

458

Even if they don't dare, they still have that intention.

459

Emperor Kangxi had many children.

460

His eldest son, Yunti.

461

He had intention to snatch the legitimacy and was confined to death.

462

With that prior example, how can I not be on guard?

463

Of course I wish my children to be obedient to me.

464

And follow my will.

465

When I'm upset, how can they not be upset?

466

But before the concubines and before the nobles and subjects,

467

to be unlike in mind and heart with me, how can I endure it?

468

I understand then. Before they are royal sons of yours, they are your subjects first.

469

This logic you understand, but they don't.

470

I won't eat anymore.

471

Eat.

472

Mistress, why is it that Empress Xiaoxian's death.

473

His Majesty is so sorrowful and can't seem to forget?

474

Suoxin, you must remember.

475

It's only best when you are sincere and caring of each other when alive still.

476

Suoxin, you're not little anymore. You should leave the palace and marry too.

477

Jiang Yubin is pretty good.

478

I will suggest to His Majesty to grant you to marry him.

479

But I still want to serve you a few more years.

480

If I don't marry you off soon, Jiang Yubin will hate me behind me.

481

I wish for you to leave the palace and marry and live a peaceful life.

482

Thank you, Mistress.

483

Mistress. Mistress.

484

Cining Palace sent many words asking you to come immediately.

485

Many times? Did they say why?

486

I don't know.

487

Let's go.

488

Greetings to Empress Dowager.

489

Fujia, what's wrong? You've drawn my brows for decades.

490

Why is it that I look so awkward?

491

I know my wrong.

492

Ruyi, since you're here, then you come and draw for me.

493

Yes.

494

You are quick and exact with your brush strokes and same now.

495

No wonder the two princes both snap at your hands.

496

I know that the royal princes getting punished and Noble Consort Chun getting ill,

497

to your mind, I am the one who has most to cheer for.

498

Of course you'd suspect me.

499

But may you be sage. I have no such intention.

500

You have no such intention? Then who would it be?

501

Empress Dowager, you know very well. His Majesty was furious in the temple.

502

It was because the two princes held intentions they shouldn't have.

503

Such intention, who can control it though?

504

If I had the intention do commit something, that's too obvious.

505

It's akin to setting myself on fire.

506

Then you mean? The two princes were at fault themselves?

507

The princes might be temporarily confused.

508

Especially Yonghuang.

509

His biological mother passed away early on and as a young child, I taught him.

510

If you must put blame, put blame on me,

511

that I failed in teaching him well then.

512

Indeed you talk like a Ula-Nara.

513

No holes at all.
