- Rise! 35 00:03:11,069 --> 00:03:14,928 - Respects to Teacher Ji.
- Your Highness, please rise! Why is the big salutation? 36 00:03:18,577 --> 00:03:21,785 Royal Father, what mistake did I make again? I'll kneel before you in advance. 37 00:03:21,785 --> 00:03:24,423 You can punish me in any way you like but just don't make me write again. 38 00:03:24,424 --> 00:03:27,385 I've already learned my lesson last time. 39 00:03:27,385 --> 00:03:30,032 Why are you so scared? Stand up! 40 00:03:30,032 --> 00:03:32,574 I'll just kneel. Anyway, it's easier just to kneel. 41 00:03:32,574 --> 00:03:34,280 Get up! 42 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,583 Why are you kneeling when no one asked you to? 43 00:03:40,732 --> 00:03:44,212 Teacher Ji and I checked on your homework today. 44 00:03:44,213 --> 00:03:47,041 I've also just read through the essays written by Yongqi and Ertai. 45 00:03:47,042 --> 00:03:49,190 I felt very comforted. 46 00:03:50,119 --> 00:03:54,449 However, after Teacher Ji showed me your homework, 47 00:03:54,449 --> 00:03:57,040 I felt dizzy. 48 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,224 Is this poem written by you? 49 00:04:04,459 --> 00:04:07,662 - Yes.
- You read it out loud for me yourself. 50 00:04:07,662 --> 00:04:10,009 - I better not.
- What do you mean by that? 51 00:04:10,009 --> 00:04:12,055 I told you to read, then just read! 52 00:04:18,106 --> 00:04:21,189 "Walking into a room. 53 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:24,992 Surrounded by four walls. 54 00:04:24,992 --> 00:04:28,781 Looking up, I see rats. Looking down, I see cockroaches." 55 00:04:31,743 --> 00:04:33,854 What kind of poem is this? 56 00:04:33,854 --> 00:04:35,679 It's very realistic. 57 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,716 I live in the palace now, so everything is great, 58 00:04:38,717 --> 00:04:41,581 but the room I used to stay in before looked just like this. 59 00:04:41,582 --> 00:04:43,583 As Li Bai says, 60 00:04:43,584 --> 00:04:46,395 "I lift my head to the moon, I lower my head and think of home." 61 00:04:46,396 --> 00:04:49,562 He must have had a big window. He probably kept it open while he slept. 62 00:04:49,563 --> 00:04:51,390 Thus, he could see the moon. 63 00:04:51,391 --> 00:04:55,366 My house had a very small window, so there was no moon for me. 64 00:04:55,367 --> 00:04:59,234 At night, the rats would climb up to the pillar and make lots of chattering sounds. 65 00:04:59,234 --> 00:05:01,572 And the cockroaches are a realistic portrayal, too. 66 00:05:01,573 --> 00:05:03,933 You call this a realistic portrayal? 67 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,920 I won't write realistic portrayals in the future then. 68 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,248 Is this poem yours, too? 69 00:05:14,686 --> 00:05:17,248 Read it out loud for everyone to hear as well. 70 00:05:17,248 --> 00:05:20,642 - Can I not?
- Absolutely not. 71 00:05:25,318 --> 00:05:28,270 "By the doorway sat a dog. 72 00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:31,110 In its mouth, was a bone. 73 00:05:32,645 --> 00:05:36,788 Then comes another dog. Fighting, they broke each other's bones." 74 00:05:36,788 --> 00:05:38,957 You call this a poem, too? 75 00:05:38,958 --> 00:05:41,216 You even dared to submit it? 76 00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:43,517 I had no choice. Teacher Ji already said, 77 00:05:43,517 --> 00:05:46,370 "Be it ghosts fighting or dogs fighting, 78 00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:48,207 you must compose a poem and submit it to me." 79 00:05:48,207 --> 00:05:51,417 What could I do? So, I just went with a realistic portrayal. 80 00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:55,970 I've never seen ghosts fighting before but I've seen dogs fighting. 81 00:05:55,971 --> 00:05:58,040 So, I wrote this poem, 82 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,497 and Teacher said the words I used to describe the dogs were not bad. 83 00:06:02,497 --> 00:06:04,190 Didn't you, Teacher? 84 00:06:04,835 --> 00:06:07,777 Your Majesty, Her Highness has already improved a lot. 85 00:06:07,778 --> 00:06:09,572 She is indeed studying very hard. 86 00:06:09,573 --> 00:06:12,366 Sometimes, she even comes up with classical sentences. 87 00:06:12,367 --> 00:06:15,937 With gradual teaching, I'm sure she will make progress. 88 00:06:16,848 --> 00:06:19,998 Royal Father, Xiao Yanzi used to be illiterate, 89 00:06:19,999 --> 00:06:21,800 but she's now able to compose some limericks. 90 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,560 That's already a commendable effort in itself. 91 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,916 Don't push her too hard! 92 00:06:24,917 --> 00:06:27,851 Otherwise, she might end up developing a fear for words. 93 00:06:29,161 --> 00:06:31,281 Prince Yongqi is right. 94 00:06:31,281 --> 00:06:33,273 Your Majesty, Xiao Yanzi is able to compose poems, 95 00:06:33,274 --> 00:06:36,921 differentiate between five and seven syllables, and can even make it rhymed. 96 00:06:36,922 --> 00:06:38,122 She only started very late. 97 00:06:38,123 --> 00:06:40,545 She was able to achieve so much today, thanks to Master Ji... 98 00:06:40,546 --> 00:06:43,086 and his apprentices' hard work. 99 00:06:43,086 --> 00:06:46,887 You wrote this kind of poetry, yet everyone is speaking up for you. 100 00:06:47,779 --> 00:06:50,131 Read this next poem for me, too. 101 00:06:56,254 --> 00:07:00,907 "Yesterday, I tried to write poem but failed miserably. 102 00:07:00,907 --> 00:07:04,957 Today, I tried again but I shed tears of misery. 103 00:07:04,957 --> 00:07:08,860 The more I write poetry, the skinnier I get. 104 00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:12,792 As I lift up my pen, I cry for my parents." 105 00:07:12,792 --> 00:07:16,474 - Is this another realistic portrayal?
- Yes. 106 00:07:16,474 --> 00:07:19,321 - Is it that hard to compose poems?
- Yes. 107 00:07:19,321 --> 00:07:22,327 - How dare you say so?
- It is hard to start with. 108 00:07:22,327 --> 00:07:25,402 If I say otherwise, I'll be deceiving Your Majesty. 109 00:07:25,403 --> 00:07:27,428 Aren't you deceiving me now? 110 00:07:27,429 --> 00:07:30,154 Who wrote it for you? Tell me the truth! 111 00:07:30,154 --> 00:07:33,724 Although it was imitated to perfect your tone and word choice, 112 00:07:33,725 --> 00:07:35,928 it's definitely not something you could write. 113 00:07:35,928 --> 00:07:38,071 Was it Yongqi or Ertai? 114 00:07:38,071 --> 00:07:40,737 Royal Father, it's definitely not fromme. 115 00:07:40,737 --> 00:07:44,869 Your Majesty, I haven't helped her with any writing recently. 116 00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:47,592 Royal Father, let me kneel before you. 117 00:07:47,593 --> 00:07:50,461 Composing poetry is so hard! 118 00:07:50,462 --> 00:07:52,543 I've really tried my best to learn it already. 119 00:07:52,544 --> 00:07:55,302 However, the oblique tones are so complicated. 120 00:07:55,303 --> 00:07:57,580 I barely understand what rhyming means. 121 00:07:57,580 --> 00:07:59,498 Don't you try to change the subject! 122 00:07:59,499 --> 00:08:01,356 Tell me now!
