Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

3

Episode 54

4

These three new people

5

are paying their respects to Your Highness.

6

Greetings, Your Highness.

7

Peace and happiness to Your Highness.

8

Rise. Take a seat.

9

Thank you, Your Highness.

10

Now that you have entered the palace, we will be sisters in the future.

11

Its the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager. It will be livelier when there are more people.

12

You are petite and pretty.

13

It will get interesting.

14

Noble Lady Ke, don't restrain yourself. This is the best Longjing tea.

15

You should try this too.

16

I remember that Noble Lady Ke was born in Mongolia.

17

You are still not used to the tea from the south.

18

I'm used to drinking tea with milk.

19

I wasn't considerate enough.

20

I didn't think of this.

21

The three of you, don't laugh.

22

Consort Fei is only considerate towards His Majesty.

23

She doesn't look at anyone else.

24

I wasn't feeling well.

25

Are you satisfied with Jingren and Xianfu Palaces which were arranged by Consort Yu?

26

I thought that after leaving the grassland, I will never see it again.

27

I didn't imagine that the Xianfu Palace that I'm living in,

28

has a style similar to my home town. I find it very accommodating.

29

It's good that you are satisfied with it.

30

You can start to learn the rules on how to serve His Majesty.

31

Yes.

32

Empress Dowager.

33

The three new staff have already done their formalities.

34

They have been rewarded.

35

These three young ladies that we have invited, they are generous and polite.

36

They seemed law-abiding.

37

Seems like the Emperor is tired of the intrigues in the harem.

38

Those chosen candidates are law-abiding.

39

Even if the Empress is pregnant, we don't need to worry anymore.

40

Empress Dowager, why would you worry about them?

41

Your 60th birthday will be here soon.

42

The different dukes and marquises have sent their gifts. And His Majesty has also sent some precious gems.

43

you should choose them when you have the time.

44

Look, that bear skin that you are sitting on,

45

was personally hunted by His Majesty in the Mulan Hunting Grounds.

46

The fox skin that was delivered yesterday,

47

it was personally sewed by Her Highness and Consort Yu.

48

The Emperor may be estranged from me

49

but on the outer surface, he' still attentive.

50

He even asked the Ministry of Rites to make me a title.

51

Today, the Internal Affairs Department had the internal cabinet look at it.

52

The words are 'Kang Hui Dun He'. Not bad.

[Kang - healthy; Hui - benevolence; Dun - kindhearted; He - harmonious]

53

His Majesty loves to keep his image.

54

He doesn't dare to let the people of the kingdom remark that he's not filial.

55

Your Majesty, my snowman is done.

56

Dot the eyes for him now.

57

Look at how playful you are.

58

Consort Ling is here.

59

What do you think of this?

60

You did it very well.

61

Your Majesty, let's go for barbecue meat.

62

It's interesting to eat during snow.

63

Your Majesty, go in and warm your hands first. I will tell them to carve the meat.

64

Fine.

65

[ Xianfu Gate ]

66

- Greetings, Consort Ling.

- Greetings.

67

Imperial Concubine Ke, I brought some live wild ducks.

68

They are good for soup and barbecue too. You can decide. I'm here to take part in the fun too.

69

Thank you, Older Sister. But not anyone can take part in this fun.

70

I'm a Mongolian. As for the greasy taste of the barbecue,

71

would I dare to include you?

72

Could it be that little sister will be pushing people away like this?

73

Older Sister, don't worry. His Majesty is doing well here.

74

We are just eating barbecued goat meat, and won't drink any deer blood wine.

75

I have already thanked you for your hospitality.

76

As for live wild ducks, use them for yourselves.

77

Okay, close the door. Don't let the smell of the barbecued meat gets out.

78

[ Xianfu Gate ]

79

She's just a junior newbie and she dares to look down on me?

80

Mistress, don't be angry with Imperial Concubine Ge. It's not worth it.

81

I wouldn't dare to be angry with anyone.

82

- Who are they?

- Noble Consort Jia is going to give birth soon.

83

They are probably going to get the midwife for her.

84

Seems like Her Highness is going to give birth soon too.

85

I heard that His Majesty have already issued a decree to let Her Highness' mother,

86

to enter the palace to be with her during the birth.

87

Why can't I be pampered?

88

Everyone is doing so well

89

and being pampered for giving birth.

90

Mother, get up now.

91

Quick.

92

Mother, sit.

93

Your Highness, this is not permissible.

94

No need to stand on ceremony.

95

As a rule, only when you are in your eighth month, your mother can then enter the palace to serve you.

96

Look, I'm only in my sixth month and His Majesty has allowed you to enter the palace.

97

I can tell that His Majesty dotes on you.

98

Mother, why are you looking at me this way?

99

I'm happy looking at your pointed stomach.

100

It seems like it's a boy.

101

The Imperial Physician said that it's a girl.

102

Which Imperial Physician said that? Is it accurate?

103

It's the one and only Imperial Physician Jiang who has been serving me.

104

There shouldn't be any mistake in what he said.

105

That's fine too. Flowers blooming first before bearing fruits.

106

You will be giving birth to a royal child.

107

How's the Empress fetus?

108

To reply Your Majesty, Her Highness and her fetus are doing well.

109

She's already in her sixth month. Do you know if it's a boy or girl?

110

To answer Your Majesty, the pulse of the fetus is still faint. I can't evaluate yet.

111

Sometimes, the pulse is strong and it seems like a boy.

112

But Her Highness used to have dizzy spells. The fetus...

113

From the subtle pulse of the fetus, it seems to be a girl.

114

Forget it. I wasted my time asking you.

115

I'm going to visit her now.

116

Yes.

117

This child is really strong. It kicked me.

118

It's happy to know that you are here.

119

Of course, it's good if it's a boy. It's also good if it's a princess.

120

Your Majesty have two princesses. Princess Jing married into Mongolia.

121

I would like to have a princess.

122

A princess is caring.

123

Yes, a princess is caring.

124

Hence, you stitched pink clothes.

125

Of course, a princess must wear pink clothes.

126

Pink is good.

127

Isn't a princess good?

128

It's good. I didn't say that it's not.

129

I wonder what you want me to do.

130

Nothing.

131

I was only concerned about you.

132

Is your daughter doing well from the medicine which I brought you from the Imperial Physician's prescription?

133

She's doing well.

134

I heard that your son has grown up.

135

He has to strive for a good future. These money will be useful.

136

Thank you, Mistress Ling.

137

The womb of Her Highness Empress now is quite big too.

138

She surely will need you during her childbirth.

139

What do you think of her chances?

140

Mistress Ling, I dare not. That is not someone else.

141

That is Her Highness Empress.

142

I am just asking.

143

Her Highness Empress is the mother of the empire.

144

It is also her first child. His Majesty and Empress Dowager are very concerned about it.

145

I dare not allow any mistakes to happen.

146

Serve her well then.

147

Yes...

148

Leave now.

149

I will take my leave.

150

Mistress, you don't have that much money, that you didn't even give anything to your maiden family.

151

How come you gave it to her?

152

She did not agree to work for us.

153

This Nanny Tian will be useful.

154

We must try to win her loyalty. She will be of use in the future.

155

How is it?

156

The fetus is very healthy and strong.

157

Everything is fine.

158

That is good.

159

How is Suoxin?

160

She will be delivering our child soon.

161

Is it a male or a female?

162

It looks like a girl.

163

What about mine?

164

The wish of His Majesty will come true.

165

Actually, I don't care if it's a boy or a girl.

166

If it's really a prince,

167

I must be more careful.

168

Why?

169

I don't want His Majesty to be happy too early on.

170

The more I don't want others to be upset too early on.

171

If others will try to guess if your child is a boy or a girl,

172

they can only investigate your appetite.

173

Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl?

174

The beliefs of commoners have a basis.

175

Rongpei, did the governor of Sichuan recommend a chef?

176

Yes. He just arrived.

177

Let him serve me.

178

Everyday, serve some fresh and spicy food.

179

I understand.

180

I'm choking to death.

181

Choking to death...

182

Your Highness, the food made by that chef recommended by the governor of Sichuan is so delicious.

183

All are so spicy.

184

I find it very delicious and not that spicy.

185

Mother, eat something not spicy.

186

Your Highness, someone from Qixiang Palace is here.

187

- Let her in.

- Yes.

188

Greetings, Your Highness Empress.

189

Get up.

190

Why did Noble Consort Jia make you come here?

191

I'm very good in making sour almond biscuits. My Mistress loves to eat them the most.

192

My Mistress remembered that you are pregnant,

193

so she especially asked me to send some over.

194

What Her Highness Empress hates to it the most right now are sour foods.

195

Mistress said that the taste of a pregnant person is usually bitter, so eating something sour can make it more appetizing.

196

Your Highness Empress, have a taste.

197

It's good if Your Highness will love eating sour.

198

Thank you for the good intentions of Noble Consort Jia. Just accept it first.

199

Yes.

200

I will take my leave then.

201

Empress was really not interested on those sour almond biscuits?

202

Could she be pretending?

203

I don't think so. Her Highness Empress felt unwell just by smelling those almond biscuits,

204

and the food on the table were all spicy food.

205

The scent was really overwhelming.

206

Looks like she might be having a girl.

207

Mother, are you that afraid for Royal Mother to bear me a little brother?

[Fourth Prince, Yongcheng]

208

Silly. That Third Prince Yongzhang is a useless person.

209

Other than him, you are the eldest and most promising, hence, His Majesty favors you a lot.

210

But in the future, if a legitimate son gets born,

211

I fear that your days won't be that good anymore.

212

Even if it really gets born,

213

he's just a baby. Why must I fear him?

214

That is indeed right. But His Majesty puts much importance to a legitimate prince.

215

It's better that she give birth to a princess.

216

Yongcheng, you have what you have now because His Majesty considered the Yu Clan.

217

If you became successful in the future, you must remember the blessings of Duke.

218

Mother, you're overthinking.

219

What if Royal Mother will successively get pregnant?

220

The sight of a woman...

221

Her Highness Empress loves eating spicy food so much. It must be a princess.

222

Indeed. Sour for a son, spicy for a daughter.

223

In every pregnancy of Noble Consort Jia, she loved eating sour food.

224

During lunch, she would eat a plate of pickled vegetables from her hometown

225

and a bowl of sour fish soup.

226

Noble Consort Jia is really blessed with good luck.

227

All her children are princes.

228

It's not easy for Her Highness Empress to be pregnant, but it's a princess.

229

His Majesty dreams of having a legitimate son.

230

Don't know how disappointed he will be if it's a princess.

231

Noble Consort Jia and Her Highness Empress got pregnant at the same time.

232

If Noble Consort Jia gives birth to a prince, and Her Highness Empress give birth to a princess.

233

Won't Noble Consort Jia be more favored by His Majesty?

234

It's out! It's out! It's a prince! It's the 11th prince!

235

Which palace had a prince?

236

It's too early for Her Highness Empress to give birth. Noble Consort Jia has given birth.

237

It's a prince! It's the 11th prince.

238

- 11th prince...

- It's out! It's the 11th prince!

239

11th Prince, Yongxing.

240

Do you like the name given to you by your Royal Father?

241

Your Royal Father loves you so much.

242

If Her Highness Empress gives birth to a princess,

243

His Majesty will love our 11th Prince more.

244

This morning, I even saw the Internal Affairs Department delivering fabrics for baby's clothes to the palace of Empress.

245

If it's not pink, it's purple.

246

From now on, don't let 11th Prince stay in the palace all the time.

247

Carry him more often to Yangxin Palace.

248

Let His Majesty see how adorable his son is.

249

Yes. But going back to it,

250

His Majesty still loves our Fourth Prince the most.

251

Of course.

252

Yongcheng is the first son of His Majesty after his ascension to the throne.

253

He is also the most outstanding. Of course, he likes him the most.

254

Your Highness Empress, this is the best offering site.

255

Look, we're done digging the joyous pit.

256

It will be a fortunate place where the clothes of the imperial child will be buried.

257

You are the astronomer. You have dug so many joyous pit for the consorts of the imperial harem.

258

Wherever you say is good, I believe it.

259

Thank you for your praises. I do not deserve them.

260

Bring those over there.

261

This symbolizes good fortune for someone who is about to give birth.

262

Your Highness, the Internal Affairs Department sent ten lantern Momo and water Momo each.

263

They are all waiting for you to choose from.

264

- Just choose two who has both a son and a daughter and works meticulously.

- Yes.

265

There is one Nanny Tian who I heard was very good in delivering the child of Consort Shu.

266

Nanny Tian will surely be around.

267

That's good. Give instructions

268

for them to live in Yikun Palace and wait for my labor.

269

Yes. The Bureau of Imperial Physicians also sent 6 imperial physicians who will attend to you in succession,

270

just to be sure.

271

Where is Rongpei?

272

Gugu Rong is currently busy.

273

I'm done testing them with the silver needle.

274

You must taste a bit of each of these.

275

You can only serve them to Her Highness Empress if you're fine after an hour.

276

Yes.

277

Rongpei, what are you doing?

278

Your Highness. Greetings, Madam.

279

These things will be used during your labor.

280

I am not at ease, so I want to check them again.

281

Did you not check them twice already? Why still check again?

282

I was afraid that I might have neglected anything.

283

You are really meticulous.

284

This is the first child of Her Highness.

285

We must be careful in everything.

286

If this white cloth got tampered with, or the scissors isn't clean,

287

or what if there is a needle within the blanket?

288

I dare not imagine the effect.

289

We must be very careful.

290

This Rongpei is very meticulous and an able person.

291

She is indeed not bad.

292

I dare not receive your praises.

293

Your Highness, the kitchen sent some spicy niangao. You want to have a taste?

294

I do. I'm a bit hungry too.

295

I'll prepare it.

296

Your Highness, you really don't want to eat something sour?

297

Mother, you have said that so many times.

298

Okay already. I won't ask anymore.

299

This is already your 8th month. There's no big deal anymore in whatever you want to eat.

300

[Yikun Palace]

301

Please sleep, Your Highness.

302

I ate so much spice earlier and my stomach feels burning.

303

This is sour apricot sent in as tribute from Yongping.

304

I brought some secretly.

305

Is it good?

306

Not sour enough.

307

Eat a few more.

308

I took lots. You can eat all you want.

309

You're an empress pregnant with royal prince.

310

But you can't let others know easily.

311

I see it's really hard for you.

312

In this palace, if someone's pregnant,

313

all the eyes will be watching so I must be cautious.

314

So you are even keeping it a secret from your mother?

315

Only if my mother believes I'm pregnant with a princess then the others will believe it too.

316

Plus we don't know either whether it really is a prince or princess.

317

If it's a prince, it will be great naturally.

318

But if it's a princess, it's already spread about it.

319

So His Majesty won't be too disappointed.

320

I understand now.

321

Hurry.

322

Hurry.

323

My ancestors above.

324

Please safe guard the empress to birth a legitimate heir.

325

I only want an excellent legitimate heir.

326

Hurry, hot water.

327

Coming.

328

Where's the water?

329

Everyone says she's pregnant with a girl. Let that princess be born quickly then.

330

Why no news still?

331

Mother, don't walk back and forth anymore.

332

You're making me dizzy.

333

Sanbao. Sanbao.

- Here.

334

Where's His Majesty? Is he here?

335

No.

336

She's been in labor for so long with no delivery yet.

337

If it doesn't happen soon we need His Majesty to make decisions.

338

His Majesty already sent many to come check.

339

Mistress, you've been on standby for so long, you should rest.

340

I can't. I must be by Sister.

341

It's a day and a night already. Why still not delivered?

342

The emperor is in Fengxian Hall and not coming out either.

343

Empress Dowager, don't panic. It's the empress's first baby so it takes time.

344

Empress Dowager, the empress has not delivered yet.

345

May you rest in the warm hall first.

346

Your Majesty.

347

What?

348

Empress gave birth.

349

- Is it a princess?

- It's a prince.

350

It's a prince, Your Majesty!

351

Thank you, my ancestors for your guardianship.

352

Fooled me, is it?

353

Everyone's fooling me.

354

It was a prince all along but everyone lied to me and said it was a princess.

355

Empress, you are getting so skilled.

356

A prince, I knew it.

357

A prince, I knew it.

358

Mother, what are you doing?

359

Yongcheng.

360

I can't do anything.

361

I am incompetent.

362

Now the main heir has been born.

363

His Majesty won't remember he's got a son like you.

364

He won't.

365

As long as I'm more successful, Royal Father wouldn't only see the main heir.

366

He's over ten years younger than me, after all.

367

You're right.

368

Your royal father always had great aspiration and trust in you.

369

We can't just give up so quickly. We must find a way.

370

To let your father only sees you. To let the court know.

371

That His Majesty has an outstanding son in you.

372

That main heir is less than a toe nail against you.

373

Really, mother?

374

Yongcheng. If what I said is true,

375

will you be willing to bet your life on it?

376

I am willing. I won't let you down.

377

[ 12th Prince - Yongji ]

- Little Prince was so strong in nursing.

378

He drank with the strength of his life. He will surely be so strong.

379

Yes. Earlier Empress Dowager also complimented him for being strong looking.

380

It's making your long labor worthwhile.

381

This is my only living main heir. My successor.

382

Ruyi, let's call him Yongji?

[ Ji - succession ]

383

Yongji is a great name.

384

When I birthed Yongqi, Your Majesty said, Qi as in great jade.

385

Yongqi and Yongji are a great pair of siblings.

386

Ruyi, let's keep Yongji raised by your side.

387

So I can come visit him often too.

388

Thank you, Your Majesty.

389

First month is the most crucial. Nurture well.

390

We can have many more princes.

391

Yongji.

- Yongji.

392

Smile for me.

393

Yongji.

394

Come.

395

Pretty good.

396

You two brothers are pretty on target.

397

Third Brother, you too.

- Fine.

[ Third Price, Yongzhang ]

398

Third Brother.

399

One, two, three.

400

Look.

[ 5th Prince - Yongqi ]

401

Very good.

- Of course.

402

Look at 3rd Brother, hiding his skill.

403

He's probably practicing behind our backs.

404

3rd Brother is practicing bitterly every day. Go.

405

You're all shooting very on target.

406

It's too hot. I won't practice anymore. I'll go and rest at palace.

407

I'm going first, two brothers.

408

You two practice a lot. Look at me.

409

This way, 3rd Brother.

410

3rd Brother went to rest but us two can't relax. Continue.

411

Yes.

412

5th Brother, I heard from the master that your riding shot is with excellency. Let me see.

413

Alright.

414

Though I'm not as good as you, 4th Brother, it's serviceable.

415

Yes, at your age, to be that good is already excellent.

416

Thank you for the praise, 4th Brother.

417

I heard you've been practicing a lot on riding and archery lately.

418

Master said you were so diligent.

419

Yes. Royal Father has told us three brothers.

420

To accompany him during the autumn hunt at Mulan.

421

So I've got to work harder to practice.

422

Yes. As your younger brother,

423

I can't relax either.

424

Stop looking already, Your Majesty. Try the watermelon.

425

I had someone cool it from early morning in well water.

426

Now it's cold to the mouth and very sweet. Quick.

427

Look at this handsome and clear color. It's just perfect.

428

Your Majesty, I heard in the upcoming autumn hunt at Mulan,

429

Empress is going too?

430

Empress has recovered well since labor.

431

Around August, going to the Mulan pasture should be alright.

432

You sure pamer Empress. You can't even spare a moment of parting.

433

How's Yongcheng's archery practice going?

434

I want to test his skills at Mulan pasture.

435

Yongcheng is toiling daily at the practice court.

436

Yongchang doesn't fare successfully.

437

To me, it's always Yongcheng that I have raised as my eldest.

438

It's true. Yongcheng is the first prince after you succeeded the throne. He knows his responsibility.

439

Good then. I hope Yongcheng can be successful.

440

So he can help me carry my worries.

441

Your Majesty, come have another.

442

Yongqi, come rest a bit. I made tea for you.

443

Thank you, Mother.

444

Careful it's hot. Drink it slow.

445

Everyone says Yanxi Palace is remote.

446

So the other wives don't like to come live here.

447

But it's good for us to have this quietness.

448

Look, you're practicing your swordship and no one knows.

449

If it weren't for this, how could I have mastered archery with my eyes closed?

450

You didn't show your skills before others, right?

451

4th Prince has a careful eye, so I don't dare to be better than him.

452

One ought not to show their beauty and skill to others. It's to wait until the day to shock others.

453

Success is not in a moment but in the long term.

454

I understand the meaning of keeping a low profile.

455

Good then.

456

By the way, I went to see your 12th brother, Yongji today.

457

He's so cute. He resembles you when you were little.

458

Mother, do you think Royal Father will be less fond of me now that he's got 12th brother?

459

He wouldn't.

460

Yongqi, you are not the eldest son nor the legitimate son.

461

And you are not like your 4th brother, the first heir upon His Majesty's succession to throne.

462

The reason you have today is due to your royal mother's nurturing.

463

I don't allow you to think wildly. Understand?

464

I understand and I won't dare again.

465

By the way, Mother. There's something I find puzzling.

466

Lately 4th brother has been practicing riding and archery day and night.

467

I've never seen him so diligent.

468

What does he say?

469

He just says he doesn't want to embarrass himself when he goes to the Mulan autumn hunt.

470

Then it must be,

471

his plan to win your royal father's approval at the Mulan hunt.

472

Let's do this. You just feign ignorance.

473

When comes time around the Mulan hunt, you just stay close to 4th brother of yours.

474

I understand.

475

His Majesty is worried the younger princes might get chilled at the pastures.

476

So starting Yongrong and the younger are sent to Xiefang Hall to be taken care of.

477

I had no choice but to send Yongqi in there too.

478

Fortunately Consort Shu and Consort Wan are left at the palace to watch them.

479

They are stable enough.

480

It's true. With them there I do feel assured more.

481

Is it Concubine Ke that's accompanying His Majesty in riding?

482

Of course it is Concubine Ke.

483

Her riding is excellent.

484

I think it's nearly two years since Ling Yunche came to Mulan pastures.

485

I wonder how he is.

486

Sister, we are already here at Mulan pastures.

487

I'm sure we will run into him one of these days.

488

This northern wind is quite hard.

489

It's blowing my face to ache. We should go back.

490

Alright.

491

These days I've gone hunting, I've only hunted a rabbit.

492

And musk deer, and some wild sheep.

493

When I first went hunting with the late emperor,

494

I caught a black bear and the late emperor saw me in new light.

495

This kind of hunting has no joy.

496

I know my crime. A few days ago, wild horses appeared at the pastures.

497

It's been unstable so I was afraid it will disturb your presence.

498

- So . . .

- Wild horses are fine.

499

I can tame them.

500

After the noon, I will take the princes to hunt.

501

You release some wild beasts out.

502

I shall see to it.

503

Your royal father should be back from riding.

504

Let's go. I will go with you to bid your royal father wellness.

505

There's hunting after the noon. Let's see if he's got more words for you.

506

Careful.

507

Which bastard servant is holding that horse?

508

Greetings to Noble Consort Jia.

509

It's you?

510

Yongcheng, punish this cheap servant good for me.

511

Mother, why do you bother with a lowly servant?

512

It's this servant that coveted me at the Jiangning Temporary Palace.

513

You dare to shame my mother? I will not let you go.

514

Whip him hard.

515

Stop that hand.

516

- Royal Mother.

- Greetings to Empress.

517

Greetings to Noble Consort Jia.

518

Yongcheng, you are a master.

519

Should the servants be disciplined by you?

520

You are losing the dignity of a master by using your hand.

521

Royal Mother's reprimand is correct.

522

This servant coveted me at the Jiangning Palace.

523

- You saw it, Empress.

- Ling Yunche is with crime indeed.

524

His Majesty already punished him.

525

Not harvesting his life is due to His Majesty being merciful.

526

Noble Consort Jia, you wouldn't carry out punishments defying His Majesty's mercy, would you?

527

I don't dare.

528

Yongcheng, you have to go hunting with your royal fater in the afternoon.

529

You go and prepare now.

530

Yes.

531

Bidding farewell.

532

Bidding farewell.

533

Move it.

534

Thank you Empress.

535

Ling Yunche. Get on up.

536

- Ling Yunche.

- I'm here.

537

These last two years, how's your life been here?

538

Replying to Your Highenss. This place, other than the autumn hunt,

539

there is usually no one here.

540

I am just feeding and washing horses everyday.

541

You've thinned out a bit.

542

Your gaze is different too.

543

Every night I watch the moon in the sky.

544

I keep thinking of the night at Jiangning Temporary Palace.

545

Getting beaten is nothing and punishment is nothing.

546

Just that the unfair chasing out.

547

Indeed it's hard to swallow.

548

Just swallow for now.

549

But you have to understand why you are swallowing it unfairly.

550

I remember your words.

551

I will return one day properly and proudly.

552

Then the whips weren't endured in vain.

553

Thank you, Empress.

♫ Being your favorite and being forgotten both are argued in my heart, at a loss to arrive at an explanation. ♫

556

♫ You bear witness to constant changes in my well-being, my sorrows and my joys, the path of my dreams forever cut off. ♫

557

♫ You draw my hand to embroider all alone in my loneliness, silken clothes pile up under the moonlight. ♫

♫ Telling myself they might be used for warmth, but who would dare? ♫

559

♫ Whose life after life is filled with paired images of love and resentment? ♫

♫ One side is beautiful, the other expressionless and silent. ♫

561

♫ From a distance, visits come around without word of your approach, ♫

562

♫ filling time between acts perhaps? ♫

563

♫ Feelings fracture, forgive and wistfully anticipate, forgetting they’re part of the paired image, ♫

564

♫ One day in cold indifference, the next in warm recollection. ♫

♫ If only we might perpetually walk in the brilliant sunlight ♫

566

♫ This lifetime has been so dismally overcast. ♫
