Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

3

Episode 60

4

Yuhu, send my word. Since the era of Emperor Kangxi,

5

the court forbids subjects of the court to acquaint princes.

6

Now the old order shall be reinstalled for caution.

7

Yes.

8

By the way, you're in the palace often.

9

Noble Consort Jia rewarding the titled madams. Why didn't you tell me about that?

10

It's a common occurrence for members of harem to reward titled madams.

11

If it weren't for Duchess of Xianqin coming to report on what Noble Consort Jia seeks,

12

I wouldn't have noticed either.

13

Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi sent in tributes.

14

One share came to me and the other share went to Noble Consort Jia.

15

How would all the titled ministers regard Yongcheng?

16

How you regard 4th prince,

17

is how the court ministers regard 4th prince.

18

His Majesty cast the decree to remind 4th prince especially.

19

His Majesty hates the most the associating with ministers to mobilize own entourage.

20

Now His Majesty's cautionary reminder.

21

I hope Yongcheng can act within his position as prince.

22

Earlier, 4th prince had the upper light and 5th prince was given the cold shoulder by His Majesty.

23

But fortunately, 5th prince has gained the like of Empress Dowager.

24

Yongqi has always been a filial child.

25

Empress Dowager is seated the highest within the palace.

26

Yongqi being filial to her is only a natural duty.

27

Noble Consort Jia and the son only care about His Majesty but ignore Empress Dowager.

28

They've courted themselves the shunning of Empress Dowager but they don't care.

29

The chords of boiled silk dissolve in lament.

30

As the long sigh is carried by the wind.

31

Where did that poetry chant come from? So bitter.

32

You're always working in the palace and leaving me home alone.

33

What's there for you to sigh about?

34

Yes, you're a silk chord but you ought to think of your home.

35

Since the two of us married, how many times have you come home?

36

I serve as imperial attendant. I cannot leave the palace easily.

37

I am onto you though.

38

Even if you're here, your heart isn't here.

39

You and I have married for two years. How is it that you're always unsatisfied?

40

You can either be a huge success so I can be swimming in glory and wealth.

41

Or come home often to spend time with me and let me be the boss.

42

You're just a petty guard.

43

You can't come spend time with me often either. Of course I'm not satisfied.

44

Mother. How is it that His Majesty just ignores us suddenly?

45

Son, if you're too outstanding, there will be many who try to target you from behind.

46

So don't think about it. Everyone has ups and downs.

47

But Royal Father is treating me lukewarm and I feel confused.

48

I have lost favor before as well but I climbed back up on the account of you guys, my children.

49

Being treated cold temporarily is alright. You're a noble prince that was the first to be born upon His Majesty's reign.

50

As long as the legitimate heir isn't grown and you carry yourself well, you will have opportunities. Don't despair.

51

I won't despair.

52

We've spent so much to climb up. We cannot sink again.

53

I understand.

54

Among my grandchildren, you're the one most willing to accompany me and you're also quiet.

55

Royal Grandmother, as long as you don't mind that I'm slow.

56

Come on in.

57

Greetings to Empress Dowager, to 5th Prince.

58

Get on up. What is it?

59

Mulan Grounds sent tribute of a few recently domesticated wild horses and His Majesty invites 5th Prince to look.

60

You youngsters love this stuff. Go on.

61

Then, I shall take my leave first.

62

Great horse.

63

These tamers are so incompetent. The horses on the prairie would've surrendered by beating by now.

64

I heard all the princes are good at hunting. If this horse can't be tamed,

65

it's fine to just shoot it down with an arrow. Is that right?

66

Mother Ying, your words are erroneous. Though wild horses are hard to tame,

67

but if we shoot them all dead with one arrow, what fun is there left to send to the palace?

68

4th prince, you mean, you can tame the horse. Is that it?

69

Hay.

70

Good. Come.

71

Good. Good. Good.

72

Good. Docile.

73

4th brother is mighty.

[ 8th Prince - Yongxuan ]

74

4th prince is quite something. He really resembles Your Majesty's mighty air.

75

Yongcheng, the wild horse seems to be docile to you.

76

Good. Good.

77

Your Majesty, 4th prince is most familiar with the temperament of the wild horse.

78

Every autumn hunt, 4th prince would come personally to feed the newly tamed wild horses.

79

These wild horses sent in by the paddocks. I hear even the best tamer takes a long time to train them.

80

Good. You're obedient.

81

Yongcheng, what are you doing there standing there? Come.

82

Yongcheng is feeding the horse just fine. Why did you call him?

83

Yes. I was afraid he's get injured by the horse.

84

- Ling Yunche.

- I'm here.

- You said Yongcheng goes to the paddocks to get familiar with the wild horses every year?

85

Yes. During the time I was stationed at the paddocks, I saw it myself.

86

Later when he accompanied you to hunt on horse, I saw it a few times as well.

87

4th prince is gifted and others cannot easily endeavor that talent.

88

Good.

89

Good.

90

Ling Yunche.

91

I am here.

92

That day at Mulan Hunting Grounds. When you rescued me. Do you remember it still?

93

Such a crisis. Of course I remember.

94

4th prince and 5th prince came in time to rescue. They were so brave.

95

They were brave?

96

Yes.

97

5th prince blocked you with his body from the wild horse in heat. He was truly selfless.

98

And 4th prince was also very clever.

99

I remember when I was walking the horse in the forest,

100

I coincidentally saw you coming into the forest and 4th prince followed suit.

101

I thought then that he was looking for you.

102

So when you were met with danger, 4th prince came right away.

103

Yongcheng has such great timing?

104

[ Qixiang Palace ]

105

What's wrong, Mistress?

106

Since you came back from the imperial garden, you've been so flustered.

107

I wanted Yongcheng to be outstanding but now I'm afraid he's too outstanding.

108

Why did he show off his talent with wild horses?

109

His Majesty is easily suspicious.

110

Now he's not as fond of Yongcheng as before too.

111

Don't worry too much.

112

How can I not worry?

113

Where's Yongxuan?

- 8th prince is asleep.

114

Look at me.

115

No. Not enough to have just Yongcheng. Yongxuan must win His Majesty's fondness too.

116

Among my three princes, one of them must become crown prince.

117

Then you should worry about 4th prince first.

118

Since he's the eldest.

119

I must write a family letter to His Lordship, to ask him to exhaust all his contacts to work for the benefit of Great Qing.

120

Before the family letter goes out, His Majesty will oversee it.

121

He will surely understand your consideration for your maiden clan.

122

As long as His Majesty seems Yu is loyal, he will not ignore me and my kids.

123

I must ask His Lordship to ask His Majesty to allow the prince to be an envoy to Yu.

124

If His Majesty dispatches 4th prince, that's the most ideal.

125

That way, 4th Prince can be close with Yu.

126

If he doesn't send 4th prince, he will surely send 5th prince.

127

If he sends 5th prince, that he better hopes he's a lucky person.

128

Come.

129

Come. Come.

130

Your Majesty. You've had a nightmare.

131

What's wrong?

132

Ruyi. Just now I saw Yongcheng.

133

I dreamed the day I was getting assassinated in the forest.

134

Those two cold arrows. Who shot them?

135

Who wanted my life?

136

Didn't Sir Fu Heng already investigate the matter thoroughly?

137

He didn't find anything.

138

Do you know this?

139

That day, it was a wild horse that lured me into the forest.

140

And today I found out.

141

Actually Yongcheng is good at taming wild horses.

142

Your Majesty suspects Yongcheng?

143

With the royal throne on the line, father and sons are hardly able to maintain their fondness.

144

That day when Ling Yunche came to save me, he clearly saw Yongcheng.

145

He waited until I went into the forest to come.

146

But why didn't he make a sound to let me know?

147

As soon as I was attacked, he showed up right away. What great timing is that?

148

Also, I know the desire of Noble Consort Jia and her son.

149

Noble Consort Jia coveted the empress seat back then.

150

Yongcheng covets just as much the seat of the crown prince.

151

I already sent someone to find out if Yongcheng's whereabouts were as described by Ling Yunche.

152

If Yongcheng really used my safety

153

as his measure to court my liking then he's unfit to be my son.

154

Yes.

155

Don't think of that for now.

156

Tomorrow, you still need to attend court. Sleep now.

157

Come.

158

This time I ordered you to go to Mulan Paddocks in secret.

159

How did the matter come about?

160

I carried it as you ordered, acting as though I'm just patrolling.

161

But in the secret I investigated the assassination attempt on you in detail.

162

Did you see anything peculiar?

163

Nothing. I looked into it in detail.

164

At the time that year, Ling Yunche was walking the horse for Concubine Ke.

165

He aimlessly went into the forest.

166

And at the time, someone did see that 4th prince went into the forest right after you.

167

During the time, it seemed 4th prince was going towards you.

168

So when you were met with danger, 4th prince showed up in time.

169

The forest is so vast.

170

Why didn't Yongcheng make a sound upon entering the forest?

171

Was he looking for me or was he waiting until I was shot before he could come to rescue?

172

I really can't figure on that.

173

Only 4th prince himself knows.

174

Then what about Yongcheng's incident at the paddocks?

175

4th prince is indeed familiar with wild horses.

176

He is fond of taming horses and goes to the paddocks often.

177

Alright. I got it.

178

You send my word, that Ling Yunche contributed merit in protecting me. Promote him to first ranking guard.

179

Yes.

180

Your Majesty, Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun beg your attendance.

181

Dzungar is in chaos again.

182

You're back.

- I'm back.

183

Put that down and go out to eat with me.

184

Eat what?

185

You've been promoted to first ranking guard.

186

That's an honor to us.

187

All the neighbors found out and ask for a drink.

188

I reserved a few tables at Xiyi Garden. I invited some of your old friends and hometown acquaintances too.

189

Go and show your face so others don't think you're acting arrogant now that you've been promoted.

190

Isn't that too much of a fuss?

191

We shouldn't hide from others something so honorable.

192

I am His Majesty's close subject. To be rewarded is great.

193

But to make an overboard fuss over it isn't good.

194

I've invited all the people and they're waiting. Are you going?

195

You're --

196

I'll only ask you this. Are you going or not?

197

I'll change first.

198

Go and change.

199

Ruyi, look at this.

200

Noble Consort Jia's letter to Yu. Every word is of loyalty.

201

Asking the Yu clan to offer their all to serve the court.

202

Now Yu clan has replied.

203

Other than asking for greeting and thanking for grace, they are asking for a prince to be an envoy to them.

204

Envoy to Yu?

205

Have you settled on sending which prince?

206

Sending Yongcheng there is to let him be closer to Yu.

207

As for Yongqi, though he's young, he's prudent.

208

I am evaluating if I should send him.

209

There aren't many princes in the palace.

210

Don't you think Yu clan already thought of which prince you'd send?

211

You mean they've guessed which prince I'd send and will make a plot?

212

As you said, if you send Yongcheng, it will allow him to be closer to Yu clan and gain an ally.

213

If you send Yongqi. Now Noble Consort Jia isn't fond of Yongqi so how would Yu be fond of him?

214

Plus the road is far and high.

215

If Yongqi should be met with some incident on the route,

216

Your Majesty can't blame Yu easily so this is to be cautioned.

217

Ruyi, you're always the thorough one.

218

Since that's the case,

219

I'll send Duke of Xianqin to be the envoy to Yu then.

220

Duke of Xianqin is very wise and experienced.

221

Even if Yu plots something unsound, he won't miss it.

222

Indeed. If Yu indeed dares, Duke of Xianqin would know how to react.

223

Your Majesty is wise.

224

Earlier, I had someone look into the wild horse going into the forest incident.

225

Yongcheng's actions were suspicious.

226

I'm certain Noble Consort Jia and Yu played part in support and instruction.

227

I plan to have him leave the palace and set up his own manor. The farther from Noble Consort Jia the better.

228

Yes.

229

Give it to me.

230

Greetings to Empress.

231

Greetings to Empress.

232

Get on up.

233

Play.

234

Where's Yongqi?

235

5th prince is studying inside.

236

This.

237

My family is marrying me off far.

238

To the far foreign land to King of Wusun.

239

To a cottage with felt walls.

240

With meat as my rice and curds as my seasoning.

241

Living the long days missing home.

242

Royal Mother.

243

Greetings to Royal Mother.

244

Hurry and get up.

245

Please sit, Royal Mother.

246

Your writing is getting more and more handsome.

247

[ Tang Dynasty Poem: Early Plum Blossom ]

248

Royal Mother, yesterday Royal Father summoned me.

249

Royal Father told you about Dzungar?

250

How did you know?

251

You were must reciting the poem "Swan Song" by Princess Xijun.

252

Though it does not say the frontier fortress directly, it is indeed about the frontier fortress.

253

A poem commemorating the sentiments of a princess that marries afar for her nation.

254

I miss Aunt and Royal Father misses Aunt greatly as well.

255

So I already told Royal Father.

256

That since Dawachi ignores the courtesy of in-laws and acts so unruly,

257

then Royal Father needn't falter anymore.

258

Instead, it might be better to use fire power on Dzungar for the great safety of Great Qing.

259

And invite my aunt, High Princess Duanshu to return to the nation, and restore she and Empress Dowager's longing.

260

And Royal Father and Aunt's sibling love.

261

Yongqi, you are a filial son and your father knows it.

262

Before, I told you to hide your skills and wait for the future.

263

Now your day is here. Treasure it and help your father with his troubles.

264

But you must be cautious and prudent.

265

I understand. I will remember your teaching to heart.

266

Dzungar's Dawachi defies our court, harboring desire to rebel with unwillingness to submit.

267

I've decided to tolerate no longer.

268

I command the two armies to take down Dawachi.

269

Yes.

270

Duke of Barin is familiar with Dzungar.

271

He is to command the battle.

272

I also command two thousand soliders of Barin to fight.

273

To flatten the turmoil in Dzugar quickly.

274

Your Majesty is sage.

275

Royal Father had me learn about battle at military bureau.

276

But now I don't know about his attack on Dzungar.

277

Royal Father is no longer interested in utilizing me?

278

- Don't panic.

- How can I not panic?

279

These last two months, Royal Father's rewarded 3rd and 5th brothers and their mothers many times.

280

While he asks nothing about you and me.

281

And as you said, Yu clan asked for a prince to be envoy.

282

His Majesty actually sent Duke of Xianqin there.

283

He's not thought of me or 5th brother at all.

284

His Majesty's arrangement was indeed outside of our anticipation.

285

But we can't do anything about that.

286

Yongcheng, I'm not blaming you.

287

But that day at the imperial court, you were too careless.

288

You got close to those wild horses that day.

289

I fear His Majesty's planted a seed of suspicion.

290

I just wanted to show off before him.

291

But he's suspecting me just like that?

292

Never mind. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

293

But our plans before have all gone to nothing.

294

Now we can only make plans in the future.

295

By the way, Yongcheng, His Lordship has sent words.

296

To ask me to find a wife for you.

297

To find a well-connected powerful in-law family for future.

298

Eunuch Li is here.

299

Greetings to Noble Consort Jia.

300

Greetings to 4th prince.

301

Eunuch Li, what brings you here?

302

His Majesty sends decree.

303

Relaying the words of His Majesty.

304

4th Prince Yongcheng is already grown. He is ordered to leave the palace.

305

He is not allowed to enter the palace without incident.

306

Mother.

307

Li Yu. You better not send the decree wrong.

308

The princes are supposed to set up manor elsewhere after he's married and titled.

309

Yongcheng is not yet married. Why should he move out?

310

His Majesty's royal will. Who dares to defy?

311

You should hear all the words from His Majesty first.

312

8th Prince Yongxuan is to to reside at Xiefang Hall starting now.

313

11th Prince Yongxin is still young and shall remain at Qixiang Palace for the time being.

314

To be taught and nurtured with diligence.

315

Why is this all so rushed? His Majesty never mentioned it.

316

His Majesty's royal will.

317

Noble Consort Jia, all you should do is to follow.

318

I take my leave.

319

Mother.

320

Yongcheng. We got calculated.

321

His Majesty has abandoned us.

322

Who did it?

323

Mother, who is harming us?

324

Your needlework is getting even more delicate.

325

Princess will love it.

326

Looking at how all the kids are well, I feel

327

so happy.

328

Yongzhang and 5th prince are learning matters by His Majesty.

329

5th prince knows to respect his elders.

330

Now His Majesty is more tender towards Yongzhang too.

331

Yongqi is young and ignorant.

332

It's the 3rd prince who is kind and helping him.

333

Harmony between the siblings is what brings most joy to His Majesty.

334

These days we don't see Noble Consort Jia.

335

Noble Consort Jia has shut her doors and won't leave.

336

His Majesty took away 8th prince and sent 4th prince out of of palace.

337

He's clearly blaming Noble Consort Jia for being an unfit mother.

338

I heard lately,

339

even 4th prince going to Qixiang Palace to pay greetings,

340

requires a report to His Majesty first.

341

Can you imagine how His Majesty shuns them?

342

Who is it?

343

Who's outside?

344

Who's outside?

345

Cunning criminal hiding in the dark.

346

Come out in the open and come to me.

347

Who is it?

348

Mistress, what's wrong?

349

Linxin, someone's outside. Go look.

- There's no one.

350

I just came from outside.

351

Hurry. Sit.

352

No one?

- No one. All the guards are there.

353

Come. Sit.

354

Really no one?

- Really no one.

355

Who is trying to harm me and my son?

356

Empress?

357

Noble Consort Chun?

358

Consort Yu or Consort Ling?

359

Mistress, you haven't rested well in days.

360

Let me go get the royal physician.

361

Royal physician is no use.

362

When a person turns bad, they are worse than a dog.

363

Lixin. Go find me some dogs.

364

Dogs?

- Yes.

- Dogs for what, mistress?

365

In this palace,

366

no one can help me anymore.

367

Only me by myself.

368

Can't I get some beasts to protect me instead?

369

Hurry and go.

370

Go now.

371

Yes.

372

Nothing can happen to me.

373

Nothing can happen to me.

374

[ Qixiang Palace ]

375

Mistress, I found these dogs that are of great breed and disposition.

376

So clever and protective of their master.

377

Good, so let these dogs watch me and protect me.

378

Let those who want to harm me,

379

forget about coming in here.

380

You all go out.

381

I raise you guys.

382

You guys need to watch me well.

383

Bite to death those who try to harm me.

384

Mistress, don't go mad from anger now.

385

Look at how well he eats.

386

Qixiang Palace has become a dog den. Barking day and night.

387

The mistress is off and the dogs are off too.

388

Don't talk.

389

[ Jiazhimen - Fine Felicity Gate ]

390

Jingsi.

[ Fifth Princess ]

391

Empress.

392

She's startled by the barking of the dog.

393

She was pale at first. Look at her now.

394

Empress, don't panic. 5th princess is only startled.

395

I will get her some calming restorative now.

396

Jingsi.

- Melt it with boiled water.

397

Yes.

398

Put the princess on the bed so I can perform acupunture.

399

Come.

400

Take it down.

401

Why are there so many dogs? The barking is loud and 5th princess has a heart disease.

402

She cannot bear it.

403

Lingzhi, go report to His Majesty.

404

Sanbao.

- I'm here.

405

Go to Noble Consort Jia's and take her dogs out of the palace.

406

I will go now.

407

[ Qixiang Palace ]

408

Greetings to Noble Consort Jia.

409

Who said you could come in. Get out.

410

I am here by order of Empress.

411

To remove your precious dogs and raise them outside the palace.

412

In order to prevent the crashing of peace in the harem.

413

You devils.

414

You're worse than my dogs who are loyal and sweet.

415

Roll out of my palace so you don't dirty up my place.

416

However your precious dogs,

417

they have already made all the palaces chaotic.

418

Who dares to touch my dog? I will kill him.

419

If you want to kill you can do that.

420

But we must carry out our chore.

- See if you dare!

421

Start. Take them all out.

422

You dare?

423

Mistress.

- Let go of my dog.

424

My dog!

425

I take my leave.

426

You devils. You devils.

427

Mistress.

428

Mistress.

429

Go in!

430

Close my door.

431

Your father send me scroll and detailed the situation at Dzungar in very clearly fashion.

432

He's a thoughtful person.

433

My maiden family had to contend with Dzungar for years.

434

Now that you're attacking Dzungar,

435

my father will put in all his effort, naturally.

436

He's a wise man.

437

Actually, these days, have you heard dog barkings lately?

438

Sometimes a bit.

439

Yes, you're busy with court matters so you haven't gone to the harem.

440

Noble Consort Jia keeps saying someone's trying to harm she and her son.

441

So she raised lots of dogs in her palace yard.

442

To protect herself. But the harem is not big.

443

It's making it too noisy for everyone to sleep.

444

Who can harm her less she harms herself?

445

Since 4th prince moved out of the palace, she's been off.

446

Your Majesty, Empress's attendant Lingzhi wishes to see you.

447

Let her in.

- Yes.

448

Your Majesty, 5th princess is traumatized by the dogs in Qixiang Palace.

449

Royal Physician Jiang is urgently trying to rescue her.

450

Your Majesty, find my justice.

451

Empress won't let me be and that's fine.

452

But not even my animals.

453

She's forcing me. Your Majesty.

454

You dare to come?

455

Your dogs startled Jingsi. Get out.

456

If something happens to Jingsi, I won't forgive you!

457

Your Majesty. I am startled day after day.

458

If you take them out too,

459

I don't think I will live.

460

Your Majesty, I think Noble Consort Jia is truly unsound.

461

Let us go and see 5th princess instead.

462

Your Majesty.

463

Your Majesty, 5th princess's life is a life.

464

But my life is a life too.

465

May you pity me.

466

Let go. Keep one dog you love the most in the palace.

467

The rest, send away.

468

She was startled but she's not in danger.

469

5th princess will be alright.

470

May Your Majesty and Empress be at ease.

471

I know Jingsi has a heart disease.

472

But it's my first time seeing how badly startled she was.

473

I was very startled too.

474

I rushed here in a panic.

475

I was worried something will happen to Jingsi.

476

I've raised her with so much caution.

477

Not a day passed when I'm not anxious.

478

I've already told Noble Consort Jia.

479

To get rid of the dogs, except for one.

480

They won't startled Jingsi again.

481

Your Majesty, Empress, 5th Princess's heart disease is surfacing.

482

In the future, you will have to be even more cautious.

483

If she's startled again and not rescued in time,

484

I fear it will be bad.

485

I got it. You must watch Jingsi carefully.

486

Yes. I will.

487

Then I take my leave.

488

Your Majesty, war report from Dzungar.

489

The high ministers beg to discuss urgent matters with you.

490

But Jingsi is only just getting better.

491

Your Majesty, go in peace. I will watch Jingsi.

492

Alright. Report right away if anything happens.

493

Yes.

494

Empress Dowager. Since His Majesty sent soldiers to conquer Dzungar,

495

you've not eating and drinking and anxious all day and night.

496

You are tormenting yourself.

497

Other than tormenting myself,

498

and worrying for Hengchuo, there's nothing else I can do.

499

To marry High Princess then, you were so discontent.

500

Now His Majesty is finally attacking Dawachi and you're uneasy.

501

Hengchuo's remarriage.

502

I feared that the court and Dzungar would go to war anyway.

503

Hengchuo would be stuck in the middle.

504

Now it's indeed that.

505

If Dawachi uses Hengchuo as threat.

506

It won't happen.

507

Your Majesty is worried about high princess Duanshu again?

508

I made the decision to attack Dzungar.

509

I thought Hengchuo would also be wanting me to escort her back soon.

510

High Princess Duanshu must miss you and Empress Dowager.

511

When I let Hengchuo remarry Dawachi,

512

Royal Mother blamed me and the high ministers tried to dissuade me too.

513

But it was me who was clear.

514

That it was that hard and that despairing for me.

515

Hengchuo is the high princess but she's also my little sister.

516

But I had to wait it out for the perfect timing.

517

Now Dorbo is returned to us.

518

And Barin is very close to our Great Qing and I've finally waited till the best timing.

519

I am happy that

520

I can wait with you for the day we flatten Dzungar.

521

There will be deaths when two armies fight.

522

For those souls lost in the battlefield,

523

may their sacrifices bring peace to their nation and home.

524

And let there be war no more.

525

No more women to be cast abandoned.

526

I heard Noble Consort Jia's crazed illness is getting more severe.

527

She's holding her Fug'er day and night.

528

Noble Consort Jia and 4th prince.

529

They were too greedy.

530

Now we've got Empress's 12th prince she bore.

531

But she still dreamed of crown prince.

532

Our dynasty values elderly and legitimacy but we value more merit.

533

Or else the princes will not seek to improve themselves.

534

Only to wish whose belly they come from.

535

Just as long as they are talented and willing to exhaust their skill and body for Great Qing,

536

they are all great sons of His Majesty.

537

Empress is sage.

538

I swear now.

539

That my children only know of being filial to Great Qing.

540

To be filial to Empress and the future master.

541

They will never try to steal the legitimacy.

542

How are you swearing out of the blue?

543

I have my two sons.

544

Someone will think I disrespect you because of that.

545

So today I am happy that I can make myself clear.

546

Everyone here, either you have children,

547

or in the future you will have royal heirs.

548

Let's be clear today to avoid future strife.

549

To have others think,

550

our harem has lost respect of elderly order or legitimacy.

551

Noble Consort Chun has been in the harem for a long time and you're a wise person.

552

I follow Noble Consort Chun.

553

To vouch for my loyalty to Empress.

554

I shall never harbor a rebellious intention to steal legitimacy.

555

We will follow Empress whole-heartedly.

556

Without any intention to rebel or steal legitimacy.
