Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

3

Episode 70

4

These were all prepared by me carefully for Your Majesty.

5

They all say youth is good.

6

But the graceful bearing of a woman is what's most important.

7

Having graceful bearing and attentive.

8

So I can serve you well.

9

I will fill it for you again.

10

When I first came to the palace others laughed at me.

11

Saying I'm so old to come to the palace and what can I do?

12

Thanks to your pampering of me,

13

or else I would have place to be.

14

Your maiden clan specializes in producing Great Qing's harem.

15

I am fond of you and promoting you to a consort is a given.

16

I thank Your Majesty for the great favor.

17

Mistress, your promotion ceremony is still a few hours away.

18

You aren't resting and out here so early?

19

I am happy.

20

Look at how I'm dressed. Do I look dashing?

21

Do I have the image of a Great Qing's Consort?

- You do.

22

You look especially dashing.

23

I heard from Noble Lady Qing yesterday.

24

That all the consorts and concubines from Mongolia all agreed.

25

Not to come to your installment ceremony.

26

So what if they don't come. I know they're jealous.

27

They don't come but maybe His Majesty will come.

28

Even if they all don't come, I am still the Consort Yu personally installed by His Majesty.

29

Where's Princess Hejing? She should pay me the respect, right?

30

Princess Hejing brought the heir successor to the cabin at southern garden.

31

To let his playmates show him some things.

32

But Princess Hejing's congratulatory gift is here already.

33

Alright then.

34

Go get that golden phoenix coral hairpin gifted by Empress.

35

I want to put it on to look more posh at the ceremony.

36

Yes.

37

Mistress, there's news today.

38

Saying that the medicine you wanted has been delivered.

39

Great.

40

Go get it quickly. Have someone else wait here.

41

Yes. I shall go now.

42

Is there any news from the clan?

43

His Lordship and Sir Gedun is already watching the Han tribe.

44

Have Mistress be watchful of His Majesty's scrolls.

45

Alright. Where's the item Mistress wanted?

46

Capture them.

47

You all can go.

48

Yes, Mistress.

49

Is there something you wanted to tell me?

50

Your Majesty, it's my incompetence.

51

If it weren't for Yongqi, you and I would still be in the dark.

52

What's wrong?

53

Yongqi.

54

Greetings to Royal Father and Royal Mother.

55

Yongqi. What's this about?

56

Royal Father, lately when I've come through Yangxin Hall,

57

I've noticed an eunuch getting suspiciously close while sweeping so I took notice.

58

Indeed I've found out this eunuch is a scout looking for news.

59

And sneaked medicines unauthorized into the palace.

60

Where is he from?

61

I found out he's by Concubine Yu's arrangement.

62

Daring. To be involved in national affair?

63

Other than that, I found out about the medicines Concubine Yu sneaked into the palace.

64

These medicines really don't fare.

65

What medicine? How doesn't it fare?

66

I have asked Royal Physician Jiang to explain it, as it's not convenient for me to dwell into.

67

I shall take my leave first.

68

Greetings to Your Majesty and Your Highness.

69

Get on up.

70

Go ahead and speak.

71

What exactly is this?

72

Your Majesty, this is a aphrodisiac between man and woman.

73

The potency is quite strong.

- Is there poison?

74

There's no poison, Empress, fortunately, after my testing.

75

However once you start using it, you can easily become addicted to it.

76

And it harms the body gravely.

77

Fortunately 5th prince discovered it early and it wasn't used on Your Majesty yet.

78

Though it wasn't used on me yet.

79

But to have this intention is vicious enough.

80

You must pay special attention to His Majesty's food and drink from now on.

- yes.

81

You may go.

82

I take my leave.

83

Your Majesty, this incident has Yongqi to thank.

84

So your royal body wasn't harmed.

85

But this is a state affair. Shall I ask Concubine Yu?

86

No need to ask her to come. I will go myself.

87

Have some tea, Mistress.

88

What hour is this?

89

Why isn't the interior bureau here yet?

90

And Duoyian. What's taking her so long?

91

His Majesty is here.

92

His Majesty. He really came?

93

I knew it. I knew His Majesty would come to my installation.

94

He adores me the most.

95

Greeting to Your Majesty.

96

Your Majesty.

97

What do you wish to say?

98

Your Majesty. I don't know anything. I did nothing.

99

I ask for your sage sight.

100

Li Yu. Send my decree.

101

That I no longer wish to see this whore.

102

Have the log house get rid of her green tag.

103

And she is never to service me in bed. Have her confined to her own palace.

104

Not allowed to leave without approval. From now on you are merely the forbidden city's Consort Yu.

105

But you are not my Consort Yu.

106

No. Your Majesty.

107

Your Majesty.

108

Your Majesty. No.

109

It was all thanks to your careful discovery today, Royal Physician Jiang.

110

That Royal Father can be safe.

111

In the future, I ask you for more careful watch of his health.

112

That is my duty.

113

I hear His Majesty intends to promote you as a beile (prince of 3rd rank).

114

I congratulate you here in advance.

115

Thank you, Physician Jiang.

116

5th prince, are you alright? Is it your old leg problem acting up?

117

It's alright. I got too tired from riding the horse. It's no issue.

118

5th prince you have nn old disease bone on your leg that acts up in the cold and in fatigue.

119

You must be careful. Especially not to get too tired.

120

I know it. I'm youthful and strong.

121

My leg injury is already all healed.

122

May you be more prudent so royal father doesn't hear of it.

123

And worry for me.

124

Yes.

125

This Han tribe is remote and cold.

126

If my royal grace and reach there,

127

then it is a good deed.

128

Royal Father has always governed with communities for the commoners.

129

The border citizens are grateful.

130

Yongqi. These days, you've been at the imperial study,

131

discussing people's sentiment with the high ministers.

132

It's toiling and today you should go and rest up early.

133

Royal Father toils away for the court day and night.

134

How can I rest with ease?

135

I can only wish to accompany you.

136

I've promoted you to Beile to show my acknowledgement.

137

Next year in the second month, you will be allotted a duty in the Ministry of Revenue as well to cultivate you more.

138

I thank Royal Father.

139

Physician Bao's medicine is pretty good. My palpitation isn't as severe after drinking it.

140

By the way, you must let Physician Bao have Yunjiao's life hanging at his will.

141

A beauty like her entering 5th prince's manor has great use.

142

Yes. Yunjiao has already entered 5th prince's manor as a servant.

143

Great. After going into the manor, it's all up to Yunjiao.

144

Don't run. Chase me.

145

Who made this snowman and with wings too.

146

Greetings to Beile.

147

Beile.

- Get up.

148

You don't look familiar. Are you new?

149

Replying to Beile, I am new. My name is Yunjiao.

150

Yunjiao? Then let me ask you. Where's the snowman's nose?

151

It's too cold so it was frozen off.

152

What about his eyes then?

153

It's dark so he's tired and asleep.

154

Then let's wake him a bit.

155

Your master is here. Wake up now.

156

He's awake.

- Yes, awake.

157

Then what about the nose?

- Nose?

158

Let it grow out again.

159

The nose is grown out too.

160

Now it's all complete.

161

But Beile,

162

we have hats and scarves.

163

Maybe he's too cold?

164

Xiao Lezi.

165

Not bad. Then add this too.

166

Let's put a scarf on you.

167

Now it's all done.

168

Thank you, Beile.

169

Great. You all continue.

170

It's so pretty.

171

Yunjiao, you were so brave just now.

172

It's in the middle of the night. What are you doing?

173

Replying to Beile,

174

the snow just stopped and I found that the swallow's nest is broken.

175

I fear the swallow won't be able to return in the spring,

176

so I wanted to fix it.

177

You are thoughtful.

178

Beile works in the palace year round.

179

The manor is quite chilly and empty.

180

So I am just looking for some joy for myself.

181

In the new year, in spring, the swallow can return.

182

And I will ask you to come and see and it's finding a joy for you.

183

Alright. Then I will remember it.

184

But Beile, can you hold this ladder for me?

185

Thank you, Beile.

186

Beile, you can't.

187

If something happens to you, I can't handle it.

188

If something happens, it's on me.

189

Beile, be careful, please.

190

I didn't think you had that trick.

191

Later, bring some dry hay.

192

And put it in the nest.

193

Yes.

194

Look, it's a bit broken over there too.

195

Here?

196

The awakening of the insects is looming (March 5-20).

First the peach flowers.

197

Second, the kerria flowers. Third, the rambler rose.

198

Yes, the days are going by so fast.

199

At the blink of an eye, Yongqi has already moved out of the palace to set up his own manor.

200

Yongqi has been married for over an year already.

201

I hear Yongqi doesn't seem to be fond of his wives.

202

Could it be that the wives His Majesty selected for him,

203

don't endear him.

204

In a few more days, let's pick out a few more to attend him in bed.

205

But Yongqi doesn't seem like someone who indulges in women.

206

Yes. But regardless.

207

These bed-serving attendants won't be like a wife.

208

Yongqi could pick out who he likes.

209

Beile.

210

Look.

211

Why did you bring it out?

212

It's cold though.

213

And I saw that the mother swallow isn't in the nest so I brought it out.

214

Look how cute.

215

Look at its mouth.

216

What are you doing?

- Feeding it.

217

It can't eat that. Don't just feed it whatever or it will get sick.

218

Swallow, when will you grow up and fly?

219

So you don't put me fixing your nest to vain.

220

You did fix the swallow nest.

221

But I did play a part in it too.

222

Why should I count you a part for my fixing?

223

Because you only provided the ladder.

224

Alright.

225

Did you hear that? Beile has spoken.

226

Hurry and fly up and make my Beile happy.

227

So you don't put his toil of fixing your nest to vain.

228

Look, it's moving.

229

Look.

230

It must be looking for the mother swallow.

231

When I go to the court soon, you sleep more.

232

I won't sleep more.

233

I need to go and greet Beile Consort and Second Consort.

234

Since Beile Consort allows me to stay and tend to you,

235

I must serve well.

236

And be grateful and extra cautious.

237

You speak well.

238

Beile Consort is generous and you shall respect her.

239

Naturally she's also complimented you to me saying you're docile.

240

Since you allowed me to serve by your side, I am very greatful.

241

Beile Consort and Second Consort are both amiable.

242

But I know my humble background.

243

The daughter of a scribe shouldn't be fitting to serve you.

244

So I should know to carry out all work in detail.

245

You don't need to belittle yourself.

246

You are with me now without a title.

247

But in a while I will promote you to Lady.

248

And then also promote you as my second wife.

249

I don't dare to ask for a title.

250

And I don't dare to cause trouble even more so.

251

I only plead that I can follow you.

252

Then I will escort you out.

253

254

Your Majesty, Han tribe's white jade tribe has already arrived.

255

I saw and indeed they are all treasures.

256

And also a portrait of Hanti's daughter.

257

I hear she's a rare beauty.

258

Her name is Han Xianjian.

259

She is said to be not only an unmatched beauty akin to a fairy.

260

But also she has gained the love of all the border tribes.

261

It seems Hanti wants to use his own daughter

262

to express the Han tribe's quest for harmony.

263

Yes.

264

Han tribe volunteers to be on good terms.

265

Hanti wishes to gift his daughter.

266

Then have Zhaohui escort her to the palace.

267

Xiangjian. Xiangjian.

268

Xiangjian.

269

General, a stranger.

270

What's he yelling? This whole path is full of snowly mountain.

271

What if we get an avalanche?

272

General, it seems to be Hanqi.

273

He's Princess Xiangjian's fiance.

- I don't care who he is.

274

Escorting Princess Xiangjian to the palace is utmost important.

275

We must be extra cautious on this path.

276

Yes.

- Hanqi!

- Xiangjian!

277

Hanqi.

278

Spring equinox is looming.

279

Next is crabapple.

280

Second is pear flower.

281

Third is magnolia.

282

Though palace is filled with flowers in full bloom.

283

It's rare to find an exotic bloom.

284

Sister, have you heard this?

285

General Zhaohui brought a princess from Han tribe.

286

Someone that requires the far distanced escorting of General Zhaohui.

287

It must not be a common person.

288

I hear Han tribe sent some beauty today.

289

I don't know just how beautiful she could be.

290

Han tribeswomen, any one with a straight face and set of eyes.

291

I suppose they count them all as beauties.

292

Consort Ling is so right.

293

General Zhaohui putting up such a grand effort.

294

I don't know just what this person is like.

295

Your Majesty, General Zhaohui brought the Han princess, waiting outside.

296

Greetings to Emperor, to Empress Dowager, to Empress.

297

Reporting to Your Majesty, I've followed my order to escort Han Princess to the palace.

298

Now the princess is already brought outside the hall.

299

You've toiled on this trip. Bring her in.

300

Ye.s

301

Take off your veil.

302

Emperor, Empress Dowager. Han tribe's Princess Xiangjian.

303

May Your Majesty and Empress Dowager spectate.

304

A dance of the princess to express Han tribe's respect.

305

Your Majesty.

306

Your Majesty.

307

Empress Dowager, do you wish to see a dance?

308

I've never seen a Han tribe's dance.

309

I would be happy to watch.

310

Alright. Grant a seat to General Zhaohui.

311

Thank you, Your Majesty.

312

Han tribe's dance.

313

It's refreshing indeed.

314

The beauty of three springs.

315

Cannot compare to the allure of her dance.

316

Your Majesty.

317

Protect her.

318

Princess Xiangjian, you were entranced in your dance.

319

You didn't know you could not hold a weapon within three steps of the emperor.

320

You just came from afar for what?

321

To treat yourself like this?

322

Hanqi. I'm sorry.

323

I could not be with you in life.

324

Let my soul reunite with you.

325

Stop her.

326

Protect her.

327

Han clanswoman! You really thought, before the emperor.

328

You could do whatever you want?

329

Who is Hanqi to you?

330

Why do you seek death for him?

331

Hanqi is my fiance.

332

Fiance?

333

Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Princes Xiangjian did indeed have a marriage promise.

334

But the marriage promise was cancelled long ago.

335

This Hanqi already died.

336

Princess Han Xiangjian is still unmarried.

337

Though I am unmarried.

338

I will always be Hanqi's widow.

339

Hanqi was devoted to me. If it weren't for me coming here,

340

he wouldn't have chased after me all the way.

341

And he wouldn't have met an avalanche that buried him alive.

342

Hanqi's death is regrettable indeed. But you must realize this.

343

Your father sent you to the palace to express desire for harmony.

344

Now you're seeking death for Hanqi.

345

Won't you be offending your father's intention?

346

And become a woman who is not filial or loyal?

347

Han Xiangjian, I know you're upset.

348

But the person is dead.

349

If you continue to put on this act,

350

you will only harm more of the living.

351

Royal Mother's words are right.

352

Han Xiangjian, I know you're sad.

353

What happened today, I won't blame you.

354

You've toiled traveling so far, Princess Xiangjian.

355

And you've been startled.

356

I will have someone arrange a manor for you to live in the capital for now.

357

In a few days, Emperor will grant you.

358

A title for a foreign woman.

359

So you can return to your father with honor.

360

Royal Mother, all things have been settled already.

361

Han clanswoman is to enter the palace immediately. Yuhu, bring Han clanswoman to Chengqian Palace.

362

Have her change and bath and rest.

363

Yes.

364

Chengqian Palace?

365

Yes, Royal Mother. No one is residing in Chengqian palace so it's perfect for Han clanswoman to live there.

366

Your Majesty. Chengqian Palace is a heaven and earth palace.

367

It's only a palace for a pampered consort.

368

Then where should I place Han?

369

How about you make the decision for me?

370

I don't dare. I just thought,

371

maybe there's somewhere more suitable.

372

Naturally it's all up to you.

373

Your Majesty, Chengqian Palace is one of the six palaces of harem.

374

A foreign woman can't live in it. May you reconsider.

375

Empress makes sense.

376

Emperor. It doesn't matter how you settle and title her.

377

Just that --

-Then I shall go with your order.

378

And have Han enter Chengqian Palace as its mistress.

379

Emperor, you misunderstood me.

380

Can't be that you insist that Han enters your harem?

381

May you approve.

382

Emperor.

383

Your Majesty, Han just sought death before you.

384

And to have her enter the palace now, with her state unsteady.

385

Empress, I know how to measure things.

386

Empress, you needn't overly speak.

387

Li Yu. Tidy up Chengqian Palace immediately.

388

If it's not tided up well, I will seek you for blame.

389

Yes.

390

Everyone scatter. I am returning to Yangxin Palace.

391

Bidding farewell to Your Majesty.

392

Please come with me.

393

Empress Dowager, I take my leave.

394

Emperor says he's following my order.

395

But you were all here.

396

Did I even cast a decree?

397

I am incompetent. May you forgive.

398

Empress, you are indeed incompetent.

399

But our emperor is too stubborn.

400

Who can stop him?

401

I was going to give a title of a foreign woman to Han.

402

So she can live in peace.

403

And it can pacify those in the Han tribes.

404

But that didn't happen.

405

Emperor instead got the idea of having a new harem woman.

406

This woman coming into the harem.

407

And the harem may never have peace.

408

I will return to my palace.

- Bidding you wellness.

409

Bidding wellness to Empress Dowager.

410

Everyone scatter.

411

What happened today was startling.

412

If I didn't see it myself I wouldn't believe it.

413

His Majesty seemed entranced.

414

I have spent more than half of my life with His Majesty.

415

I've never seen him looking at a woman with that kind of yearning.

416

His Majesty always lived his life with a broad mind.

417

Why is it that he's in his middle age and he's acting out a teenager's craze?

418

Perhaps it's just a momentary joy.

419

But Sister, since Han is already in the palace,

420

it's not up to us anymore.

421

You must be cautious by His Majesty.

422

Better to say less.

423

Since His Majesty is already like that, can he even hear me?

424

I've never seen His Majesty so spell-bound.

425

That was just a first meeting.

426

Then Han in the future, in the palace,

427

just how boastful she will be.

428

Good or not good.

429

Han is already here in the palace.

430

A beauty courts disaster.

431

Mistress, I am a palace maid that will serve you. I am Xipo.

432

If there's any chores for me, please tell me.

433

This is Chengqian Palace. Though your title isn't set,

434

but His Majesty let you live in the whole palace for yourself.

435

Look, His Majesty took every good thing

436

to bring to you. That clock was made by the westerners.

437

His Majesty loves it.

438

Take them all out.

439

His Majesty gifted you this.

440

You all go out too.

441

It's so late and it's raining outside.

442

Why did you still come?

443

Mother. You've been coughing for over two months with no sign of improvement.

444

I brought medicine for you. Have someone boil it for you.

445

No need to be so worried.

446

I'm getting old so I have more illnesses.

447

Royal Physician already came and said it's nothing serious.

448

Empress already sent so many tonics too.

449

I've been taking them and it's nice.

450

Mother. I think you have a disease of the mind.

451

Yongzhang.

- Mother.

452

Mother.

453

Mother shouldn't.

454

I shouldn't have pushed you to fight for the crown prince seat.

455

And I caused you to not be favored by His Majesty.

456

Mother, don't say that. It's all in the past.

457

Mother just doesn't get it.

458

Other than that,

459

what more did I do wrong?

460

All these years.

461

His Majesty.

462

He treats me so cold all along.

463

Even the talks.

464

They are knocking me down.

465

Where did I go so wrong?

466

To irate His Majesty so much?

467

To irate him so hold such grudge?

468

He's always been like that.

469

He's suspicious and cold towards Royal Mother too.

470

Mother. You're the most experienced among the consorts.

471

And you're the only noble consort.

472

Don't think too much and just focus on getting better.

473

I know it.

474

I'm fine.

475

It's getting late. You go back first.

476

Alright.

477

Go.

478

Yes.

479

I take my leave.

480

I called you to come.

481

It's because I want to ask you again about Han.

482

That woman sought death in front of you as soon as she came.

483

Look at how she has no desire to stay in the palace.

484

Emperor, must you insist on keeping her?

485

Please let your anger dissipate.

486

I kept Han Xiangjian in the palace not just for me personally.

487

But for a bigger cause.

488

What cause?

489

Han Xiangjian is well respected by all the border tribes.

490

I keep her as my consort.

491

And it can show that I'm merciful.

492

But also I can use her to help us improve our relations with all the border states.

493

So even though Han Xiangjian did not know the rules,

494

I forgave her generously.

495

You really think like that?

496

Yes.

497

Hanti didn't just send his daughter to be a foreign woman here.

498

Since he's got such a great intention, I shall receive with a smile.

499

I have nothing to remind you.

500

Just the words, keep in your place.

501

Also, even though you will promote her,

502

delay it a bit so you don't force anything to arise.

503

And it will ruin your great intention.

504

I understand.

505

Beautiful to astonishment

506

Your Majesty.

507

She's still not eating much lately?

508

Yes. Other than the one big sob the first day she came,

509

she's been like this. Just staring far all day.

510

The things that were sent here, she rejects them.

511

She isn't eating much either.

512

So uncaring of living.

513

Your Majesty, 5th prince is here, waiting for you at the imperial library.

514

Xiangjian, I will go back first then.

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

517

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

518

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

519

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

520

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

521

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

522

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

523

♫ filling time between acts perhaps? ♫

524

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

525

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

526

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

527

♫ This lifetime has been so dismally overcast. ♫

528

♫ From now on, this lifetime will be... ♫

529

♫ without clouds. ♫
