I will go get more. Thank you for your trouble, Physician Qi. Your Highness, Noble Consort
Chun gave birth to a princess. Good. She’s got a boy and girl both now. Yes. His Majesty is very happy too. He said after Princess Hejing,
we’ve not had any other princesses. So he named the Fourth Princess “Jingyan,”
and they were granted lots of rewards. I will follow suit and reward both
Noble Consort Chun and the princess. Yes. Another incident. Consort Jia
has been pregnant for two months. All good news. Go tell Consort Jia to
have a smooth pregnancy… Royal Mother! I greet Royal Mother. Hurry and get up. Royal Mother, look. I painted this. Not bad. Looks like you’ve improved a
lot learning from Painter Lang. Really?
[ Princess Hejing, Jingse ] Master Lang praised me
too, saying I painted well. Just that this painting,
it’s only you and I. If we could add a little
prince, it would be great. Just that when I painted it, it was only you who accompanied me. You’re already about to become
a big sister. Don’t be petty. Today Noble Consort Chun bore a daughter. In the future, you will not be
the only princess in the palace. You must put on the
aura of an older sister. Then, there are different princesses still. I am the daughter of you and Royal Father. I’m a princess from the legitimate wife. If you gave birth to a sister
to me, she would be like me too. Don’t talk nonsense. I will be bearing a little
brother for you for sure. Yes. Lianxin, hurry and
continue to burn it for me. Yes. Imperial Physician Qi, she has been
having abdominal pains since noon. The pain is extremely
bad today. Her baby… Imperial Physician Qi, is her baby at risk? I have already used acupuncture but the baby is still showing signs of descent.
I fear that you’ll be giving birth soon. Being unable to make it last
until full term is my incompetence. This baby is only eight (lunar)
months old. (T/N 7.7 solar months) It’s not the time to blame anyone now. Imperial Physician Qi,
tell me what I should do now. Your Highness, please be calm. Since the baby wants to be born, I will do my best to have
the baby be delivered safely. After hearing those folk stories,
I feel better hearing you say this. – Lianxin, go and get the midwife now!
– At once! Your Highness, the midwife is at
the side hall. She will be here soon. Your Highness, don’t be anxious.
I’m going to make the preparations now. Your Highness, you must hang in there. Everything will be fine. – Your Highness, push.
– This won’t do. – Hurry up.
– Hang in there. You must consider your health! Push hard! How is she? It’s bad. Though there
is a movement of the fetus, it doesn’t have the strength
to come out on its own. I fear it can’t be delivered smoothly. I’m going to report to His
Majesty and Empress Dowager now. You can’t. His Majesty is circling the
fields, the Empress Dowager is at Anhua Hall. – They are both praying for Great Qing’s blessings right now. Her Highness would not want them disturbed.
– But this… – Royal Mother! Royal Mother!
– Princess, why are you here? I know that she’s giving birth my
younger brother now. I’m going to see her! There’s blood in the
delivery room. You can’t go in. Don’t stop me! Royal Mother! Look at the time now. Empress Dowager is still not
showing any signs of leaving. We all understand that we should
keep coming to Anhua Hall to pray. I fear that everyone is tired. Empress Dowager has been kneeling
and praying for rain for the entire day. His Majesty is also at the
altar conducting the ritual. No matter how tired we are, we
can’t slack off. We still need to wait. Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager, the center palace
(Empress) gave birth to a prince! – But the great rejoicing…
– It’s really a little prince? Yes. Isn’t Her Highness the Empress only in her
eighth month? Why did she give birth that soon? An hour ago, there was
movement in her fetus. The Imperial Physician said to induce the
labor. Although it was a difficult birth but fortunately, the
little prince was born. Does His Majesty know? Yes, His Majesty knows already. Buddha has blessed us with a
legitimate prince in the center palace. I’m going to take a look now. Empress Dowager, it’s not
a problem for you to go, but everyone is tired from the long day. If they all still follow you to Changchun Palace, I fear
that it might disturb Her Highness the Empress’ rest. I forgot about this. You can go back first. I’m going alone to take a look the Empress. Go carefully, Empress Dowager. That seems to be the sound of thunder. It’s really the sound of thunder.
It will be great if it really rains. There is good news in the palace. I believe His Majesty must be very happy. Today is the eighth day of the fourth
month, and the birthday of Buddha. The child of Her Highness
the Empress is really blessed. Let’s go out to check it it’s raining. [ Cong ] Royal Mother, look. Cong? Empress, since you gave birth,
I’ve given it a lot of thought. It’s still this “cong” word that’s best. Your Majesty, what is
the meaning of this word? The Seventh Prince is
our only official son. Cong is an item used for praying to the fields, and
it has a meaning of inheriting a family’s business. Within it, I’ve placed a
lot of my hopes for him. Thank you for giving
him the name, Yongcong. Empress, no need to be so formal. Thank you, Your Majesty. Royal Father, don’t you know? When Royal Mother was giving birth
that day, you were in great pain. She only cared about my
little brother and not herself. Empress, how could you be so foolish? You only know how to protect the
child and not take care of yourself. As long as I’m able to bear the
Qing Dynasty a legitimate prince, even if I would be die now, I would die without any regrets. Don’t say such inauspicious words. Empress, I want to thank you. Your risked your life to
give me a legitimate son and also thought on my behalf. I know what you have done for me. In another two days, it will
be Yongcong’s first month. We must do a good job of doing
the ceremony for his first month. Your Majesty, you already did a huge celebration
just for Yongcong’s third day after his birth. His one month celebration will surely be a
grand celebration, also is his first birthday. I’m a little afraid that this child
might be losing blessings instead. Why don’t we just do it in my palace? Fine. We will do it according to your wish. Let all the harem bring
their princes and princesses and celebrate for Yongcong. Come, let me take a look at him. Congratulation, Empress
Dowager, for having a grandson. Congratulations, Your Majesty,
Your Highness for having a prince. Rise. Thank you, Empress Dowager. Everyone, sit. I don’t have anything to give my grandson. This is a long-life lock that was given to the Emperor by Emperor
Shengzu on his one month celebration day. The former Emperor treasured it so much. Now, passing it to
Yongcong is just appropriate. Thank you, Empress Dowager
on Yongcong’s behalf. I will accumulate good karma for Yongcong. On his one month day today, I
especially am making a decree of giving out pardon to the
entire empire as a celebration. – Royal Father is wise.
– Your Majesty is wise. It’s not that I specially dote on Yongcong. Yongcong is of the legitimate lineage. His is a precious fate. He is the smartest among all my princes. How could I not dote on him? His Majesty, don’t speak too
soon. Yongcong is very young. How can you tell that he’s
talented and intelligent? Mother Chun, what’s wrong?
[ Nanny, Mother Chun ] Your Highness, Seventh Prince
didn’t sleep well last night. I’m afraid he’s sleepy. – Royal Mother, Your Majesty, why don’t we take Yongcong back to the side hall first?
– Okay. Fine. Let’s him go back first. Why do I feel that Seventh
Prince is not that vigorous? This is how it’s like
when a baby is sleepy. Ever since Seventh Prince was born, His Majesty has never visited
his other princes and princess. His Majesty only has his
eyes on his precious Yongcong. Our children are just children. They can’t be compared to the Seventh Prince
who is the eldest son of the official wife. Sister, you didn’t hear that Seventh Prince’s
crying is weak like a cat. Everyone says that a baby who
is one month old likes to sleep. Why can’t Seventh Prince sleep well? There was once a momo that
was serving the Seventh Prince who has quite heavy hands and
hit a bell while she was working. Seventh Prince was suddenly
shocked and cried the whole night. Did something like that happen? Seventh Prince is too weak then. [ Three Character Poetry ] Greetings to Mother Xian, Mother. Rise quickly. When we went out, you were memorizing, “A man
at birth is fundamentally good in nature”. You have already memorized a
lot now. You are very smart. Our Yongqi is already five years old. You are starting to study.
It’s not considered early. Momo, take Yongqi out first. I have something to say to Elder Sister. Yes. We are taking our leave. Elder Sister, after listening
to what His Majesty means today, it seems like he’s going to give
the Crown Prince title to Yongcong. Yongcong is the eldest son of the
Empress. Of course, he’s the first choice. I think it doesn’t matter whether
he should be the Crown Prince or not. His health is more important. I heard Imperial Physician Jiang
said that Yongcong is just a month old. But due to his deficiency as fetus, he’s taking medicines now. How could such a young baby take medicines? I heard that the wet nurse
feeds him with the medicine first. And then, she feeds him with a
half-portion of milk and medicinal soup. It seems this deficiency
illness is quite serious. That’s right. Yongcong is already three months old
and he’s still doesn’t have vitality. He’s susceptible to
colds and he’s not growing. That’s right. Seventh
Prince is indeed rather weak. Is he wearing the protection
amulet that I got from Baoguo Temple? He has been wearing it. I’m worried when I see him like this. Why isn’t he growing? Could it be that milk from the wet nurse is
insufficient, and Seventh Prince is not full from it? That’s why he’s lethargic
and susceptible to colds? Madam, ever since their duties
are to breastfeed Seventh Prince, I haven’t dared to even
add any salt in their food. Each meal, drinking broth made with rice-paper plant and cowherb
seeds. (T/N TCM herbs, Tetrapanax papyriferus, Vaccaria segetalis) Their breast milk has been rich and thick. But no matter what, Seventh
Prince refused to drink it. Useless. Where’s Qi Ru? Your Highness the Empress,
Imperial Physician Qi is here. Tell him to go to the warm room. Yes. Take good care of Seventh Prince. Yes. How could she blame this on us? Don’t say anymore. Stop crying. Why are you fanning?
You even delivered ice? Don’t you know that the Empress
is afraid of the cold? Leave us now! Yes. Imperial Physician Qi, tell me the truth. Yongcong is already three months old. He has caught cold twice. This is not the season for colds. Why is he so weak? That’s right. He’s always
sluggish and lacks vitality. What is the reason? Your Highness, Old Madam. I believe that
the Seventh Prince was born prematurely. He’s very weak. You must be extra careful in raising him. Imperial Physician Qi, will
Yongcong grow up to be an adult? He is a delicate baby. If you can
raise him until he’s over ten years old, he should be fine. Ten years old? Before he’s ten years old, wouldn’t
it be risky and dangerous for him? Imperial Physician Qi, by saying this, aren’t you scaring Her Highness? I’m stating the facts. When you are raising the Seventh
Prince, you need to be extremely attentive. Let me ask you then. With the health condition of Her Highness the
Empress, will she be able to give birth again? Old Madam, it’s early Qiyue and it’s
extremely hot. (T/N 7th lunar month) Her Highness doesn’t dare
to use ice. What do you think? My body felt cold after labor.
Using ice is unfathomable. Even if I wear light clothing,
I still complain that it’s cold. Your Highness, you can use green
bean and lily soup and you will be fine. After drinking this, my stomach
feels cold and uncomfortable. Even if it’s the afternoon heat, I
perspire continuously. It’s hard for me. This is an illness that is
sensitive to both heat and cold. Your Highness, you can’t
have go through any more labors lest you ruin your essence. You are asking a lot of questions. Could it be that with Her
Highness the Empress’ health, it will be hard for
her to be pregnant again? If Her Highness wants
to get pregnant again, it will be extremely difficult to achieve. Imperial Physician Qi, please
work hard to protect Seventh Prince and let him grow up into an adult safely. Yes. Based on what you said, the
Empress’ postpartum is very serious. Yes. It’s summer and
she dares not to use ice. She perspires at noon too. She worries about raising Seventh Prince. If she also taxes her mind on
the trivial matters of the harem, I fear that she will lose her vital energy. It will be hard to get it back again. It’s the Qixi Festival today. (T/N “Double
Seventh” – 7th day, 7th lunar month) After that, it will be the Longevity Festival,
Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival. The major events will happen in
the palace one after the other. It will definitely put
a strain on the Empress. I understand. You can leave. Yes. Ruyi, the sky is full of stars. Do you have any wishes? Make it now. I heard that it’s very effective
for wishes made on the day of Qixi. I only hope to be together
with Your Majesty for a long time. How long is that? As long as it takes, and as long as I am
together with Your Majesty. We will never leave each
other again. Excellent. Ruyi, I have something to discuss with you. The Empress has postpartum. She
won’t be able to manage the harem. Royal Mother is already old and
will gradually be unable to do it. After thinking about this,
you used to manage the harem. I think you are still the most reliable. I’m not that thorough in doing tasks. Can you ask Noble Consort Chun to do it? She is gentle but soft-hearted,
and doesn’t has any opinions. Things in the six palaces are complicated.
I fear she won’t be of help to you. Your Majesty has already thought
of this and you are still asking me. I want you to work. Of
course, I have a reward for you. – Jinbao.
– Yes. Is this exclusive only to me? This is a lacquered flower. I made
it especially for the seventh year. The Empress has a bergamot flower. It’s the hydrangea flower
for Noble Consort Chun. Consort Jia has gardenia. It’s the wild rose for Consort Yu and
pearl orchid for Imperial Concubine Shu. Everyone has one but
the rose, is only for you. It shows that our affections are different. Just like what you said, for a
long, long time. I hope you like this. This rose really matches you. – Does it looks good on me?
– Yes. Ruyi, I hope that we really
can be together for a long time. It’s the Ghost Festival today. (T/N Zhongyuan Jie, or “Hungry Ghost” festival, heaven
and hell open and the dead visit, seventh month, fifteenth day of the Chinese Calendar) Everyone must remember all the taboos. This door, wipe it clean.
It’s never wiped clean. You must mirror yourself in the
water pan on entrance and exit. Don’t speak any forbidden words! Everyone, be careful! The weather was fine earlier,
but why is it raining now? We can’t even put out a flower lantern. This Ghost Festival is supposed to
be the night when ghosts come out. This rain is just getting harder,
and it won’t stop anytime soon. As they say, “ghosts
don’t walk on dry land”. Look at how you talk. It’s so scary. Yes. Then we shouldn’t do
this and go back instead. Let’s go. Go. And the well? Yongcong. Yongcong. Mother’s here. Don’t be scared. Good. Good. Yongcong. Hurry and close the door. Babies have clear eyes. He
may see some filthy things. Your Highness, we should
pray at the Buddha statue here. Sulian, go keep company with
the Buddha statues in my shrine. Yes. Your Highness, it’s raining
harder and harder outside. Your Highness the Empress!
Your Highness the Empress! Your Highness! Who is it? Your Highness the Empress,
I’m Lixin from Qixiang Palace! My mistress has been in labor for many hours,
but no delivery yet. Please go have a look! It’s not like Consort Jia
never gave birth before. Have the midwives and royal
physicians care for them. – Yes.
– Hurry and go back. Don’t be scared. I greet Your Majesty. Everyone, you may rise. Your Majesty finally remembered that
today is Yongxuan’s first month birthday. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival day and Yongxuan’s
first month. Of course I would come and see you two. It’s so hot, and you could go
straight to Changchun Palace. Why do you insist on coming
to the Imperial Garden? Imperial Garden’s jade
lilies should be blooming soon. Since it’s too early to pay the
morning visit, let’s go see first. Yes. Greetings to Noble Consort. The Eighth Prince
greets Noble Consort Xian. The Eighth Prince is growing so well. Thank you for your praise. Ying’er. I’m here. Stupid girl. It’s so hot and you’re lazy about fanning. What a sloth. Consort Jia, a palace maid who isn’t swift
at a chore doesn’t require your anger. I’m just reprimanding a maid. Noble Consort Xian, what’s
there for you to ache about? His Majesty is arriving! Greetings to Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty. It’s so hot, why are you talking here? I was just joking with Noble Consort Xian. You are heading to visit
Seventh Prince, Your Majesty? Yes. Yongcong is docile and cute. I miss him so much when
I don’t see him for a day. My Eighth Prince misses his brother too. I was going to go and greet
Her Highness the Empress too. What’s that sound? Your Majesty, I think a
palace maid got slapped. She can’t bear her pain on her face. It was my failure to manage strictly
and someone disturbed His Majesty. Shut up. Yes. The Empress and I are always
generous with our servants. I’ve never heard of a palace maid getting
slapped so hard she can’t bear the pain. Jin Zhong, let me see. Yes. Your Majesty, it must be her. She looks sharp enough. Under the trumpet creeper vines,
she seems to resemble you somewhat. Your Majesty, allow me to
say something out of my place. This palace maid has an auspicious image. She really does bear resemblance to
Noble Consort Xian between the brows. But she doesn’t compare to the elegance
of Her Highness Noble Consort Xian. What are you waiting
for? Greet His Maejsty. Greetings to Your Majesty from
Qixiang Palace’s Maid Ying’er. Ying’er! Which “ying”? My surname is Wei. My
original name is Yanwan. It is “yanwan” as in a good hour. Ying’er is the name
granted to me by my mistress, Using the “ying” of the cherry blossom. Your face is red. You got pinched? No. Mistress is light-handed. It is because my skin is
white that it looks red. What an ingrate of a girl. I saw that you were
slow and ill at service, so I lightly pinched you. Your putting on this
show is for who to see? This injury on her hand
is a light pinch too? Your Majesty, I know my error. I was just brash when I
was pregnant that I hit her. Her old wounds coupled with new wounds. I don’t think you only hit
her when you were pregnant. Your Majesty. You said your name is Ying’er.
It was Consort Jia who named you? Mistress granted me a
new name out of kindness. Preposterous! You clearly knew Noble
Consort Xian’s old name was Qingying. You named her that? It’s truly offensive! Your Majesty, I didn’t mean to. I didn’t think about that. You don’t need to be
called Ying’er anymore. Go back to your original name of Yanwan, and you
don’t need to go back to Qixiang Palace anymore. Yes. “Good-hour” Yanwan. You’ve studied? A few years ago, I was in
Noble Consort Chun’s palace serving the First Prince, and
I studied a bit alongside him. At the time, you also
talked to me, Your Majesty. I’m already twenty-two years in age now. Your Majesty, Yanwan is at a good age
to leave the palace to return to her home. Perhaps Your Majesty
can grant her a marriage, possibly to an Imperial guard? This way she can be consoled
for the sufferings in the palace. Ruyi, I think she’s very sharp. I will take her to the Yanxin Palace Hall
to be a palace maid. What do you think? How about we ask Miss Yanwan instead? Wei Yanwan, you needn’t be scared. Be bold, and tell us if you want His Majesty
to release you from the palace with a marriage? Her Highness Noble Consort
Xian is asking you a question. Since I entered the palace,
everything is Your Majesty’s. I wish to serve Your Majesty. Great. Jin Zhong, take her back to
serve in front and teach her the rules. – Yes.
– Your Majesty. What? You don’t want to release her? I don’t dare. You don’t need to go to
Changchun Palace anymore. Go back to your own palace and repent! You may leave us! I take my leave. Your Majesty, then I will take
Miss Yanwan to Yangxin Palace. Alright. Your Majesty, you really
care about that Yanwan. Consort Jia bullies her
with intention to mock you. I transferred her to my palace
and Consort Jia knows my intent. She won’t be so pompous anymore. I thank Your Majesty. I will go with you to Changchun Palace. I feel a bit tired and I
want to rest. I’ll go later. Alright. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing
Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com. What are you thinking, Mistress? Are you thinking about Consort
Jia playing with your name. Or thinking about His Majesty
arranging sending Yanwan to his palace? Neither. I just thought of Ling Yunche’s request. Wei Yanwan has left Qixiang Palace. But Ling Yunche and
Yanwan might be impossible. But His Majesty, if he is fond of someone, he could’ve just sent decree to take her. Why would he need to have someone
teach her rules of the palace? Though it’s true, I saw how Wei Yanwan was. You intentionally brought up
Guard Ling but you couldn’t stop her. Mistress Yu also said it before. This Wei Yanwan has
her eyes on His Majesty. This time, I fear… What happened today, you had
better let Ling Yunche be aware. Yes. But telling him doesn’t change anything. Ling Yunche won’t be able to keep her. I hope Ling Yunche won’t
be tormented like last time. When Noble Consort Xian asked
you earlier, why did you hesitate? Nothing. I was just scared of saying something
wrong and courting His Majesty’s dislike. Then you can be assured,
His Majesty likes you. This is Imperial Palace’s
clothing. Change into it. Eunuch Jin Zhong, I’m in Yangxin Hall now. What am I, exactly? What are you? That is up to your own skill. How did you answer me then? If this doesn’t succeed, then you will be with me quietly. If this succeeds, then you will thank me
with your lifelong glory. You’re only half a step
into your smooth path. Don’t slip and fall off the cloud now. Eunuch Jin Zhong, please teach me well. You’re only a palace maid even though you’re
in Yangxin Palace now. You are not successful. Only when His Majesty
takes you as a concubine, that you will have a good
path waiting for you. Got that? I understand. You’re smart enough. Change and dress up nicely. Send tea to His Majesty to thank him. Remember. Seize His Majesty’s heart nicely. I’ve done all I can for you. It’s up to you now how your path will look. His Majesty is inside. Hurry and go in. Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for
rescuing me, for pitying me. You may rise. Thank you, Your Majesty. I don’t pity just you. It were someone else
getting beaten like this, I wouldn’t look the other way either. Consort Jia is indeed a tyrant. She even changed your name to
Noble Consort Xian’s maiden name. Your Majesty. I am… I thought Your Majesty remembered
back then in Imperial Garden, when you talked to me. What did I say? You said my name was very good. Akin to what was said in the “Beauty Ode”.
Regal like the moon. Delicate like spring. I remember now. That day you worked in Noble Consort
Chun’s palace, tending to Yonghuang. You finally remember me now. I will die in bliss then. What else did I say? Your Majesty also said that one day, you will seek bliss in the best hour. I said that to you too? Then Your Majesty, your
words are that of an emperor, you must be true to them. The Emperor’s words are true, naturally. But what I said then,
you mustn’t misunderstand. And it’s been so long. Whether I said that, I can’t know for sure. Your Majesty, forgive me for being wordy. You toil over state affairs day and night. Even your clothing is loose. You need to be measured
and the clothes altered. How do you know my body shape? I used to work in the
Clothing Warehouse Bureau. I always made your clothes. Your Majesty’s body shape
is as clear as the sun to me. Back then, you didn’t
tend to Yonghuang yet. Yes. I entered Forbidden City for the
reason that Your Majesty is in here. If I can see Your Majesty,
no matter how far away you are, I feel warm. Now, you are so close to me. I feel hot. Since my clothing doesn’t fit me anymore, then let’s add some new ones. You measure me. I don’t dare. Why not? I said to measure, then measure. Your Majesty. I deserve death! I deserve death! You came just in time. Send my decree. Promote Palace Maid Wei Yanwan to Second Class Attendant
Wei. (T/N Daying Wei, lowest level of the harem ranks) Grant her residence to be Yongshou Palace. She’s to tend to my sleep tonight.
And give her two palace maids. Yes. I will take Second Class
Attendant Wei to Yongshou Palace. Thank you, Your Majesty. By the rules, you should be sitting in Phoenix-Luan
Spring Favor Carriage to Yangxin Palace. Why are you walking there? I got used to walking as palace maid. Step by step with my feet planted on the ground,
I feel more steady going to Yangxin Palace. Chunchan, pick out the best prizes sent by the
Internal Affairs Bureau to send to Jin Zhong. Yes. You are generous to the old relations. You haven’t forgotten Lancui and I. We will be loyal to you until death. Chunchan, wait for me up front. Yes. Let’s go. Why are you here? I need to go serve in bed. I don’t have much time to talk to you. What you want to say should be said now. Did someone force you? I wanted it myself. You suffered in the greenhouse. You said you wanted to come back to me. I’m asking you… those
words you said to me, were they to deceive me? Of course not. At the time, to be able to marry you, it was my best exit
and most honest thought. So I was only an exit, is that right? These years, I’ve been harassed
and bullied by Consort Jia. Not a day went by that I did not wish to be granted
marriage to you so I can escape this ghostly place. But I started to discover that other than myself, no one can help me. Yanwan. Have you discovered that you’ve changed? I’ve never changed. It was
you who didn’t understand me. Long ago, I was a gege of a baoyi clan. But my father lost power and was punished. We could only do harsh work in the palace. I could only be a lowly palace maid. Letting others shame me,
and being their servant. These days, I don’t
wish to live another one! So you will court a temporary
favor with your youth and beauty. Noble Consort Xian is so wise, but she couldn’t
be spared from entering the Cold Palace. If one day you have nothing, you will ache so much
but have no way to return. When I was in the
Clothing Warehouse Bureau, all day, I could only see
the highest-quality fabric. I could only work with and
iron what I’m not suited to wear. Now look. I’m dressed so beautifully! Others serve in bed, arriving in the Phoenix-Luan
Spring Favor Carriage. Do you know why I wanted to walk here? I wanted on my first day to measure with my own feet the distance from the palace maid of
before to tomorrow’s favored concubine. How much further I have to go. You’ve chosen your own road. Walk on it well. I only hope that you will never live to regret. As long as you don’t block my path, I will walk very far and very well. I know I owe you. Brother Yunche. Second Attendant Wei, you are too cordial. [ Lancui ] Mistress. It’s getting late. I need to go. Your subject, Ling Yunche. Bidding farewell to Second Attendant Wei. [ Yangxin Hall ] Your Highness, I was talking with His Majesty
about the sudden death of the late Empress. Your Highness is her niece. I need to seek justice for her. Qingying. Empress Dowager and
Empress Ula-Nara are your elders. You must be cautious in what you say. Yes. Lord Zhang, I’m very
sad about my aunt’s death, but I wonder why you are talking
about seeking justice for her. When my aunt was confined in Jingren Palace,
she was in grief and fell sick for many years. Because of the late Emperor’s
death, my aunt was grief-stricken and passed away. I was in front of her bed then. I personally witnessed my aunt flying the crane
to the West. (T/N euphemism for passing away) Is this true? Yes. Empress Dowager, Your Majesty.
Regarding my aunt’s death, because I care about my
aunt and the late Emperor, if there are any gossips,
I should quiet them down. Let’s send her off physically
and let her rest in peace. Royal Mother, we should still conduct
a decent funeral for Empress Ula-Nara. Conduct the ceremony as
an Imperial Concubine then. She can also be buried in the garden. During the funeral, don’t write
any status and avoid eye contacts. As for the memorial tablet and remains, let’s just send them
back to her mother’s home. – Zhang Tingyu.
– Here. Do you have any objections? As for the late Empress, we will
do so according to what Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager have
said. I have no objections. I’m taking my leave. The Emperor is busy with
the affairs of the state. I’m going back. Sending off Royal Mother. Take care, Empress Dowager. – Wang Qin, you can leave.
– Yes. Qingying, we are alone now. Tell me, how did your aunt pass away? Your Majesty. What I just told you, it’s all true. It’s already over. Just be done with it. If Empress Ula-Nara were still
alive, she would only implicate you. Now that she has passed away, Royal Mother’s anger will stop at this. This incident is over. For these next few days, walk around
less and don’t create any attention. I understand. [ Yangxin Dian (“Hall
of Mental Cultivation”) ] Empress Dowager, don’t worry. Mistress Qing is a smart person. Greetings to the Empress Dowager. You can leave. You came out that quickly? Seems like you were tight-lipped and didn’t back-stab me and
report it privately to His Majesty. I have already clarified
everything in front of Lord Zhang. Come for a walk with me. How did your aunt die? Tell me about it. My aunt wanted to gain the honor in the
titles of Imperial Mother and Empress Dowager only for the sake of
glory to her mother clan. But what my aunt cared about the most was to
be with the late Emperor in life and death. However the late Emperor had said to my
aunt that he would never see her again. Hence my aunt was in deep despair. She could not gain the love of the late Emperor, so
what use is left in winning the seat of Empress Dowager? So she chose to protect you. Looks like she still doted on you. Aunt doted on me, but inside this palace, the only one
who can protect me is the Empress Dowager. Not only did the Empress Dowager want me to die,
the Empress Dowager also wanted my aunt to die. Furthermore, you wanted
her to die in front of me. But there is someone who’s
speculating about my aunt’s death. With me here speaking on your behalf, no one would dare to insult
the Empress Dowager’s reputation. You are very smart. It’s not that I am smart. It’s that
everything is in the Empress Dowager’s grasp. Your aunt was also a smart person. She calculated precisely in everything. When it’s time to fight, you
will fight till your death. When you can’t fight, you will naturally choose
to protect yourself for your own benefits. That’s the reason you were allowed to live. Yes. My aunt died suddenly, but
the gossip will not fade away. If I’m alive, I can testify for you. Excellent. Excellent. Such a smart person should live. Greetings to Empress Dowager
and Your Highness the Empress. The Jingren Palace funeral is finished? My aunt was sent to the consort
burial site this afternoon. Empress Ula-Nara is your aunt. Based on custom, you
should mourn for three years. Let’s do this. You don’t need to go to your aunt’s tomb. Why don’t you just stay in the Emperor’s
old manor from before he was enthroned? You’re not allowed to leave
the manor without a decree. And mourn for your aunt
there for three years. Why must she mourn for three years? This will depend on how filial she is. For the Empress Dowager’s allowing for me to
carry out my filial devotion at the old manor, I thank you. Why did the Empress Dowager
remove Lady Ula-Nara’s position? Qingling’s title gets marked out, over and over again. To have the title of a
Guiren is compromising her! (T/N Noble Lady, six ranks below rank 1, Empress) She’s my second wife. She should be titled as
Guifei (Noble Consort, third rank) only naturally. Sister Qingying is affected
by the Jingren Palace Empress. I had thought of giving
her a consort title, then add on to it later
on. (T/N Fei, fourth rank) However, Her Highness the
Empress Dowager still rejected it. I had no choice but to name her
Guiren (Noble Lady, sixth-ranked), but the Royal Mother was still unhappy. The Empress Dowager scratched off her
name. Isn’t this removing her position? Your Majesty, Royal Mother ordered Sister Qingying to
live at the old residence from before your enthronement, and wants her to mourn for Empress Ula-Nara
for three years without stepping out. What? Royal Mother has long
had the power of the harem. She ordered it to Sister
Qingying in front of me. I didn’t dare to talk back. Royal Mother is monopolizing the authority of the
inner palace without even a discussion with me first. And why didn’t you dare to talk back? Your Majesty, please don’t be angry. Your Majesty, Royal Mother used filial devotion as
justification for Sister Qingying’s predicament. I couldn’t find fault in it. Why don’t we wait a few days later? We could go and make our plea
together to Royal Mother to be merciful. I understand. Sister Qingying is being confined. But the others already have
their ranks and titles settled, with only the living arrangements left. Just do it as given. Yes. Be careful. Leave it over here. Leave it over there. Do it gently. Come, move this over here. This chest should be placed here. Be careful. Don’t touch this. Okay, I know. Slowly. Okay? This is not straight. Put my precious box down gently. Don’t break it. Give me a hand. Okay, I’m coming. After us leaving, Chonghua
Palace will be locked up. Are you talking about Miss Qingying?
Will she still be able to go out? Empress Dowager wants her to mourn for three
years. She may not be able to come back forever. – Who knows?
– Bring it over here. Be careful. Don’t dirty
it. Place it down gently. – That was given to me by the Emperor!
– It’s all tidied up. Come here. Did you hear that? They are hoping that
you wouldn’t be able to leave here forever. All the other mistresses have
their arrangements set and moved. If we really live here for
three years before we can go out, will she still have a
position in the palace? Sister A’Ruo, don’t say anymore.
She will be sad when she hears this. Are you the only one who knows
this? I am worried about her too. Sister, it’s me. Hailan? Why haven’t you moved? I told the Empress I
wasn’t finished with packing. So I will move later on and
she left the door unlocked for me. Have a seat. I know your intention. You better not stay trapped in
here with me and leave instead. But I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to stay with you. Also, I am free to come and
go, and that’s a convenience. So what if it’s convenient for a while? With the Empress Dowager’s temperament,
she will not leave me be easily. She is still discomposed for now,
but once she’s improved after a while, Sister Lüyun and I will figure a way
to make our plea to Empress Dowager. What’s wrong with Empress Dowager? Empress Dowager’s been staying at Shoukang Palace.
She hasn’t moved her residence to Cining Palace. Why? I heard it was because His Majesty
has Cining Palace under renovation. However the high ministers are
all trying to dissuade His Majesty. Empress Dowager is
residing at Shoukang Palace? That is indeed indecorous. At this time you’re still worried about Empress
Dowager? It’s all the same where she lives. Of course it’s not the same. If Empress Dowager were His Majesty’s biological
mother, she wouldn’t be concerned by such a thing. However she’s not the biological mother, so any little lack in
fullness is cause of suspicion, leading to a strife between mother and son. Sister, all the court
ministers and consorts alike have not come up with
a way to resolve this. You’d better worry about your own for now. Your Majesty, the inner
ministry has said yesterday that all the consorts’ titles have been drawn
up by inner palace, awaiting your confirmation. There’s no hurry. We’re not
all here yet. How do I entitle? Indeed Sister Qingying is
serving her devotional time. But to delay other people’s installations, I fear it’s not good either. Your Majesty, if Cining Palace
is finished with restoration, it’d be good to let Royal
Mother move in sooner. Perhaps Royal Mother would be happy, and Sister Qingying will
be allowed her release. If I were to truly do that
and Royal Mother still says no? Then what method shall I have
to think of to dispense at her? Empress, you thought too simply. Yes, I was rash. You just need to put more thought into it.
I will be returning to Yangxin Hall now. You go back too. Raise the sedan. Bidding honor to Your Majesty. Raise the sedan to Yangxin Hall. Your Highness, transfer of
palace is a sensitive matter. You’d better not mention
it again, or it seems to me. Moving palaces is only on the surface. Underneath is about Qingying. The two of them not getting along
only puts me in a difficult position. The Emperor is very patient. Lady Ula-Nara has been
confined for half a month. He just won’t mutter a word on it. And he doesn’t come to
make his plea for her behalf. If you want to move to Cining Palace,
you only need to mention it to His Majesty. Why bother with this large production? If I were to mention to His Majesty, and he rejects me, then am I to beg? If His Majesty comes to
beg me for Qingying’s sake, then I could conveniently give it a push and mention about moving
residence to Cining Palace. Then it’s one for one. You are so thorough, Empress Dowager. But the Empress and other mistresses
should be persuading His Majesty. Maybe he will come and
mention your moving first. That will be the best naturally. I don’t see your life any easier after you’ve become
Empress Dowager, compared to when you were a noble consort. Let me ask you. Generation after generation, what woman endured
all the way to becoming Empress Dowager, to ask for some easier life? All the Empress Dowagers
of all times before were all either the late Emperor’s Empress
or gave birth to the current Emperor. However you got to rise to the highest seat
by exhausting yourself raising His Majesty. Your becoming Empress
Dowager is your blessing, and it’s a blessing to His Majesty too. It’s easy to for one to
remember the favor of raising him, but it’s difficult for
one to remember for life. His Majesty just became the
Emperor and I cannot concede. While his wings haven’t hardened yet, (T/N
support in the court to stabilize his reign) I must have the rules set. Minister Naquin discussed with Your Majesty for
quite a while over the matter of moving palace. Please have some tea to rehydrate. Qin Li sent word. Cining
Palace’s renovation is finished. Empress Dowager can move in anytime. Royal Mother toiled for years raising me. I must have Cining Palace
remodeled to its full contents. Tell Qin Li to remodel it
well, to remodel in detail. He mustn’t rush, no matter what. Yes. There is a ruyi knot in my sleep chamber. Deliver it to Qingying for me. B-But Mistress Qing is
confined for devotion. She can’t come out, but you can’t go in? I was thick-witted. Also, there is a score book on the shelf. Make sure to deliver it to her for me. Yes. I shall go and see to it now. Greetings to Mistress Qing. Please get up, Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Wang, you’re finally here. Is His Majesty releasing my mistress? It’s not that. Empress Dowager’s decree is to confine
Mistress Qing for filial devotion. It’s best that His Majesty
does not come here either. So even I sneaked in quietly. These are two items His
Majesty had me send to you. [ Wall Head ] A string of ruyi knots.
(T/N ruyi = ” as one wishes”) His Majesty wishes for Mistress
Qing to have everything you wish. And a play script. His Majesty said for you to look
it over when you’re bored and idle. Thank His Majesty for me. I cannot go out and thank him in person. His Majesty understands, so he sent me to ask you for something
as your courtesy of reply. What item? His Majesty said as long as it’s
something of yours, it will do. This is a handkerchief I just embroidered. Please hand it to His
Majesty for me, Eunuch Wang. Yes. – I take my leave.
– Thank you, Eunuch Wang. Go carefully, Eunuch. Eunuch Wang, the Empress and the noble
consorts have come seeking news of His Majesty. Do we report about today? His Majesty is very thoughtful.
Do not mention this for now. You’re not allowed to tell anyone. Yes. Mistress. His Majesty misses you indeed. And I thought His Majesty forgot about
you since he said nothing this whole month. “Wall Head”. It’s a story His Majesty
and I saw when we first met. He is so thoughtful. I must think of a way to make a trip out. A’Ruo, go and ask Changzai Hai to come again. (T/N
First Class Attendant, seventh rank below Empress) Yes. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing
Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com. I seek to look after
Your Majesty’s well-being. You’ve been with me for so long. Why do you still seem to act so distant? I am indecorous. (T/N being unladylike) You rarely make your way near me. But today, why are you
here to meet me suddenly? Rise first. Thank you, Your Majesty. Hailan. I remember you
and Qingying are vey close. I came today only to beg Your
Majesty not to forget Sister. [ Yangxin Dian ] [ Hall of Mental Cultivation ] Yexin, the rain coming down too hard. I don’t want to walk. Go
and send for the carriage. Yes. Start with the mistress. Let’s start with Ula-Nara. Empress Dowager, actually we
weren’t burning paper money. How are you still trying
to get out of it now? If it’s not paper money, what is it? Hurry and carry out the punishment. Wait. Empress Dowager, on this paper is only the six-syllable
mantra here. How can that be? (T/N “Om mani padme hum”) Empress Dowager, a circle
signifies completeness. Matched with a pattern with the word for
ten thousand that’s not reached all the way. It signifies ten thousand
birthdays, complete and eternal. The six-syllable mantra is given to
us by the master at Miaoying Temple. Master said the six-syllable
mantra is the most respectful chant. It can dissipate karma and achieve relief. I knew you invited the master monk
to hold a prayer at the altar today, so I transcribed the six-syllable mantra
personally to incinerate the prayer alongside to pray on the Empress Dowager’s
behalf as my filial duty. Yes, Empress Dowager. Though my
mistress is living in the Cold Palace, she’s nevertheless only
devoted to Your Highness. At every prayer ritual, she will pray
for Empress Dowager’s long prosperity. Who… Who knows if your devotion is to show
devotion to the Empress Dowager or something else? Ula-Nara, today it’s your
father’s seventh day (after burial). I bet you’re burning paper
money here for your father! Dare I ask you, Eunuch Cheng, how did
you know it was my father’s seventh day? Yes, Cheng Han. His Majesty
didn’t send any news back. You actually know the
day Naerbu passed away? I-I am just a servant. I need to keep up with news. Then why didn’t you
tell the Empress Dowager? I was busy serving and
forgot for the time being. Empress Dowager, forgive me. Empress Dowager, Ula-Nara is
still burning paper money regardless. She’s clashing with the ritual
and you can’t let her off easy! Empress Dowager, the way I see it, if it’s burning paper money,
it should look like paper money, or else it’s useless to
burn them for Lord Naerbu. If she means to conflict, she
shouldn’t be burning the mantra. Cheng Han. Here. You ran all the way to come
tell me someone in Cold Palace is burning paper money cursing me. Now you look at it
yourself just what this is. – This is…
– You troubled me to come to a place like this. You sure are carrying out
your chores better and better! Empress Dowager! Empress
Dowager! I-I deserve death. I listened to gossip nonsensically. I deserve death! Yes, you listen to gossip nonsensically, but who did you hear it from? I deserve death. I deserve
death, Empress Dowager! Someone around me does
not deem me the mistress, intending to frame someone
else and earn points both ways. I think this person
played their move wrong. Cining Palace can only allow those who
serve Empress Dowager whole-heartedly. We don’t allow those who dare
to trick the Empress Dowager. Cheng Han, your own smart
self got you into trouble. I deserve death. I deserve death. Today is the Ghost Festival. I don’t want to seek anyone’s life. Since Cheng Han loves to work for others, I shall put today’s punishment on you. Huh? Empress Dowager,
Empress Dowager, forgive me! Empress Dowager. After this, send him to the Office of
Careful Punishment for a good interrogation. Yes. Take him down. Spare me, Empress Dowager!
Spare me, Empress Dowager! More of this trouble and the day is going to be bright.
We should go back now. (T/N taking up the whole night) Ruyi. You pray for me. Your thoughtfulness, I shall remember. Thank you, Empress Dowager, for
your grace in not punishing me. You may rise. – Whore!
– Careful, Mistress! I’ve been waiting for you! What are you doing? – C-Careful!
– Mistress! – I will kill you!
– Empress Dowager! Protect the Mistress! Throw down the knife! You can’t do this! I will kill you! Stop her. I came to rescue Your Highness late.
May the Empress Dowager forgive me! – Empress Dowager, are you alright?
– I will kill you. You almost lost your life just now. As long as Your Highness is fine. How dare someone try to kill me. I want to see just who is so daring! Who wants to die? Empress Dowager, it’s
someone from the past. Imperial Concubine Ji. It’s you? Kill you. How could I not have killed you! Someone with petty skills like yours? Just bulldozing to harm others? If I am killed by this
little move of yours, then the gods will have
wanted to destroy me. If she hadn’t saved you just now, you would’ve been dead by my knife! So… I am still Empress Dowager after all. My luck is relentless, and I
can overcome harm with prosperity. Whore. Whore! You made me live in the Cold Palace. You don’t deserve a sweet death,
you don’t deserve a sweet death! Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, Dowager Imperial
Concubine Ji has been in the Cold Palace for many years. She is temporarily deluded
to have attacked you. You’ve been in Cold Palace for so long
and you’ve still not learned how to behave? Fujia, deal with her. Yes. I am here. We can’t soil your eyes
with this, Empress Dowager. Ruyi. You should try to
preserve your life well to last until the day to come. Drag her down to the side hall. Whore! You need to die! – Gugu Fujia.
– Whore, you need to die! – What is your plan to deal with Dowager Imperial Concubine Ji?
– Whore! Empress Dowager already spared her once. I
fear right now that Empress Dowager – Let me go! – Only regrets she spared her life back then.
– Let me go! You just watch carefully. Think of it as a lesson
from Empress Dowager. You don’t deserve a sweet death. You startled me so much,
you just went for it! The knife was so close to
you. What if something happened? I never thought Dowager Imperial
Concubine Ji would burst out like that, attacking Empress Dowager
like her life was nothing. Did I ruin Dowager Imperial Concubine Ji? How could you have ruined her? We never thought she would try
to assassinate Empress Dowager. Right. We only followed along, to let Empress Dowager know there
are people around her that want us dead. But I never thought that Empress Dowager would come to the Cold Palace
and that would result in Dowager Imperial Concubine Ji losing her life. Mistress, I don’t know what hate exists between
Dowager Imperial Concubine Ji and Empress Dowager. But I think so many years have passed, yet Dowager Imperial Concubine Ji still wants to attack
Empress Dowager with all her force and her might. Maybe it’s to release
her unended wish in her. I hope so. Her attacking the Empress Dowager actually
allowed us to save the Empress Dowager. We’ve got an extra hope to get out. The happenings of life
are truly unexpected. My feet. My feet. Send Dowager Imperial
Concubine Ji to cremation. – Cheng Han, send him to the Office of Careful Punishment!
– Yes. It was really very treacherous today. What Eunuch Cheng Han
got was almost what we got. It is great you were so smart and
noticed she got the news in a strange way. The paper money coming
in here was strange too. You knew if something happened in Cold
Palace, Empress Dowager would come for sure. Now His Majesty and the rest are all at Yuanming
Garden, Empress Dowager is in charge of everything. Someone set up this trap trying to
use Empress Dowager to harvest our lives, so they will try to find a
way to get her to come here. Mistress, this paper money. Let’s burn it for my father. Today is his seventh day.
(T/N the loved one’s soul returns to family home to visit) Father. You are watching
over me from the nether world. Help me get out of Cold Palace sooner. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing
Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com. Cheng Han was punished like that then? Empress Dowager said Cheng
Han colluded with outsiders. He can’t be a loyal servant to her. Royal Mother can’t be thinking
he’s working for me, right? Since I heard she met with danger, I’ve already
sent people to check on her well-being many times. Empress Dowager is sage
and knows who is behind it. Her Highness the Empress sent people to check on
the Empress Dowager, but they were all rejected. Your Majesty, Sister… Say no more. I want some silence. What’s wrong? The weather is stuffy and I feel a bit ill. Go and rest up first. Yes. [ Fields Green Forever ] [ Gardens High Spring Deep ] Your Majesty. I heard it was Ruyi who rescued
Royal Mother. Is she alright? She’s well, and because
of some words in the palace, Mistress Yi found out
about Lord Naerbu’s passing. I prohibited anyone to tell her and
Noble Lady Hai didn’t tell anyone either. How did she find out? It must be the arrangement
of someone with an intention, releasing the news and
sending in paper money, all to have Empress Dowager
think Mistress Yi was cursing her. This is an elaborate arrangement. It was the Empress? The Empress planned everything, but she didn’t figure
in that Dowager Imperial Concubine Ji would attack. She put Empress Dowager in danger and tried to
use the Empress Dowager to get rid of Mistress Yi. No wonder Empress Dowager is angry. Royal Physician Jiang, I will be honest. My menstrual period has been
late for a couple of months. I wonder if it’s a blessed pulse? (T/N
pregnancy gives off a different pulse) As you said, it’s indeed a blessed pulse. It’s around two months. I will
prescribe a fetus stabilizing tonic. Indeed it is then. Congratulations,
Mistress. You are pregnant. Don’t announce it yet. Go to Jingshi House to let them know, (T/N
report it to the House of Respectful Affairs) Say I have a minor illness and I’m
not suitable to serve His Majesty in bed. The rest, let’s decide
after we return to palace. Yes. Forgive me for asking a question. Noble Lady, are you
not very joyful about it? Pregnancy is a natural happening
between a willing man and woman. But not being joyful is
also the will of heaven. I greet Your Majesty. Empress, you’re here. Your Majesty, Royal Mother met
an assassin. I am very startled. I want to return to the
palace to greet her personally. Empress, you are devoted, but you already sent people to the palace
to greet her, so your intention is sent. Harem matters require
much diligence from you. Your Majesty, I understand
what you mean then. I think lately the Imperial
court matters are complicated. It’s not convenient for me to govern things from
Yuanming Garden. (T/N Summer Palace, “Yuanming Yuan”) It’d be better to return
to the palace sooner. Then I shall make the arrangements. His Majesty is worried that I got
attacked, so he rushed back intentionally. He’s very filial. Just that Empress, when I
think about it, I am still angry. You’ve already handled Cheng Han. And you’ve been cold toward the Empress. Let her learn a lesson on her own then. It’s the Emperor though too. Now
he’s mentioning that Ula-Nara outright. Seems he’s inclined to release her. You also said that day to
leave her life intact for future. Why aren’t you saying that today? Someone must carry the
lives of two royal heirs lost. I had her go in there that
year because of this as well. Now my logic hasn’t changed. Even if she saved me, I
can’t release her easily. Forget it. Let’s not mention them. How’s
your teaching of Yehe-Nara coming along? She’s versed in chess and art and poetry and music,
everything and she’s very smart and graceful. She understands easily. Such greatness? Nothing lacking at all? She studies His Majesty’s royal
poems all day without letting go. Her gaze shows infatuation
too. She’s very fond of him. Empress Dowager, if she is too emotional, I fear she won’t amount to greatness. A bit of sincerity and
it will make it easier. I’ve never thought
pregnancy was this difficult. I can’t sit and I can’t stand. I can’t eat and I can’t not eat. All day long, with this aching dizziness. Mistress, actually you’re considered good. So many vomit endlessly,
and that’s the hardest. Look at my body. I can’t even tell Sister myself
the great news that I am pregnant and about Sister’s father’s death. I can’t go talk to her
about it nicely either. Cold Palace had that great disturbance too. You must take care of yourself.
You’re blessed with child. You can’t go to an ominous place like the Cold
Palace and you can’t talk about death or such. The royal heir in your
womb can’t handle that. It’s because I’m pregnant that
I should grasp this opportunity to rescue Sister out from there. Mistress, what’s wrong? Do you have to
vomit again? I’ll go fetch a royal physician to see if we can pacify
this, or else this won’t do. No. Don’t go. It’s good that His Majesty hasn’t
come to Yanxi Palace these last few days, or else how can I accompany him? Mistress, for today’s banquet, His Majesty
is still seeking your accompaniment. Does accompaniment equal to favor? Not all true. This is something only you dare to say. But then again, His
Majesty for this whole month has been served by you more than
half the time, so this isn’t surprising. Tonight, His Majesty may not seek me. Today isn’t some holiday. His Majesty doesn’t
have to accompany Her Highness the Empress. Today is the second of Bayue.
(T/N the eighth lunar month) It’s when I accompanied that
Ula-Nara… to marry into the old manor. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing
Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com. Enough. Don’t play anymore. Am I playing so badly that
it’s disturbing Your Majesty? It’s so late. You go back and rest. It’s a nice night. I want to accompany you. Your Majesty doesn’t remember, do you? That year, I married into the manor as your
concubine. It was on this second of Bayue. What are you painting, Your Majesty? Trumpet creeper vines. Why would you paint these
of all the flowers there are? These are such lowly flowers. As was said by Bai Juyi, “Imperial ministers are like
trumpet creeper vine flowers, (T/N Tang dynasty poet) Climbing up from the vine, using others to raise themselves,
flaunting such weak seedlings.” These flowers are planted in the
Imperial Garden. How are they lowly? You haven’t heard that to spread out and rise up
into the clouds takes more than virtuous ambition? I am unintelligent. But
don’t laugh at me either. Why is Your Majesty not painting anymore? I haven’t the heart for
it. I can’t paint well. Then let me select a
painting scroll for you. Your Majesty. This painting,
it’s that Ula-Nara person, right? You still kept it? I’ve kept it there for so long
and I haven’t really thought of it. But now she’s in the Cold
Palace, do you still think of her? A person in the Cold Palace,
what use is there in mentioning her? Then I won’t allow you to
keep this painting anymore. If you hadn’t dug it out, I
would’ve forgotten it. Li Yu. – I’m here.
– Take this painting and burn it, so it’s not an eyesore. Yes. Your Highness the Noble Consort. I will trouble you, Eunuch Li. I just know Your Majesty is good to me. What else do you wish to burn? I don’t dare. – Your Majesty, continue to paint.
– This flower is lowly. I won’t paint it anymore. Your Majesty, I did wrong. Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Please drink some
calming broth and rest up. We’ve yet to settle on which
princess to marry away and I’m anxious. Your Majesty, the Empress
Dowager summoned the Empress. I heard the two mistresses are going at it. Gugu Fujia sent someone to
ask you to restore the harmony. They’re going at it? I will go see. If I go, they will both
ask me for the bottom line. Your Majesty, but the Empress Dowager and
Empress having this out isn’t proper either. The Empress was brash.
It wasn’t settled yet. I’m been busy avoiding Royal Mother, but she went by herself to her. Li Yu, go invite the Empress back. Your Majesty, the two mistresses are there. There’s no place for me to utter a word. Incompetent. Yes. Your Majesty, how about this? Her Highness the Empress is ill. Let’s send
Physician Qi to send medicine to the Empress, and they can each can have
a step to come down upon. Great. Let’s go with that. Let’s have Royal Mother deem
the Empress as sick and confused. If she misspoke, Royal Mother
wouldn’t find fault in her. Yes. Your Majesty, Lord Zhang
Tingyu begs your attendance. Why is he coming so late? Ruyi, you go hide behind the screen. Yes. – Send him in.
– Yes. I’ve already married one daughter far away, but to marry another one far away? Empress, you’re my daughter-in-law. You can spare seeing me upset? I wouldn’t dare. Royal Mother. Yongcong is gone. Jingse is my only child now. She wants to stay by me to be filial to me and
console me of my sorrow of losing Yongcong. You’re the official wife, all of the Emperor’s
children are yours too. But Hengti is my only
daughter that I have left. Without her, who will be filial to me? His Majesty is filial. Even if Sister Hengti
marries away to Khorchin, Royal Mother always has
His Majesty as your son. Furthermore, as the sister-in-law, I feel rushed for Sister Hengti too. As the Shijing says, “A tree will bear seven years of
plum blossoms. (T/N Classic of Poetry, aka Book of Songs) May the gentleman of mine come to me.” Sister Hengti is already
in the plum blossom years. She shouldn’t be delayed
in her marriage anymore. It’s really not an easy
sister-in-law position for you. So many storms that year, and it was nearly Noble Consort Xian
who became the main wife, the Empress. If that were the case, the one who should be
calling herself the princess’ sister-in-law should be Noble Consort Xian. If Noble Consort Xian
became Hengti’s sister-in-law, I wonder if she would be more caring of me. Noble Consort Xian has no son or daughter. For the Mongol’s marriage request,
the only one she could marry off would be only Sister Hengti. His Majesty wouldn’t have to
suffer arguments from ministers. Great. Great. What a daughter-in-law hand-picked by me! No wonder the Emperor praises you too! Having so much the air of an Empress! I thank you, Royal Mother, for your praise. Greetings to the Empress
Dowager and the Empress. I am talking with the Empress,
you dare to burst in here? Empress Dowager, please don’t be
angry. Her Highness the Empress is ill. She is weak in health and
must take medicine on time, or else her royal body
won’t bear through this. Yes, Empress Dowager, Her Highness
the Empress needs to take medicine. She depends wholly on
medicine to keep alert. Empress, you must be mindful. You must preserve your body well, so you can protect your
daughter for a long time. Royal Mother, I will bear through this, to watch my daughter marry in my
old age, side by side with the Emperor. Alright. I will wish for you and the
Emperor to grow old together. Your Highness, bear through it. I must bear through it. I must wait until His Majesty gives the decree to marry Hengti off. You talked back to the Empress
Dowager and we were so scared. For Jingse’s sake, even
if I throw everything out, I will keep her by my side. I thought about it back and forth, and Grand Princess Hengti
marrying away to Khorchin is really unfitting. Hengti is the legitimate
princess. What’s unfitting? Your Majesty, think in detail. Grand Princess Duanshu married
into the Dzungar, well-versed in war. If Grand Princess Hengti also marries off to the Khorchin who
are noble and affluent, then the leaders of the
two largest clans of Mongolia will both become the
Empress Dowager’s sons-in-law. Then Empress Dowager’s
power in the court and harem will be added to that much more. Then you mean? Perhaps Princess Hejing could
be married to the Khorchin. Your Majesty, think of it in reverse. The court’s opposition might not
all be for the Empress Dowager’s sake. They might also be worried
for Your Majesty’s reign. Forget it. I concede. I won’t play anymore. Your Majesty’s mind isn’t here. When I think about the
court, I feel restless. Naquin brought the ministers
(T/N the Empress Dowager’s brother) And is pushing for marrying
Jingse away, not Hengti. Zhang Tingyu is considered someone
pretty distant from Royal Mother. He is considerate of me and
says to marry Jingse away as well. I don’t know if he really means it. He should mean it. Minister Zhang’s words, I
heard them yesterday as well. If Hengti really married into Khorchin, what will grow is indeed
the Empress Dowager’s power. I’m a father and I’m a brother,
and I’m the Emperor of all. Many decisions are truly difficult for me. Your Majesty feels guilty and you
feel wary of the Empress Dowager. With Princess Hejing, you have the
father and daughter’s blood-thick fondness. But Your Majesty is also
the ruler of the world. The more roles you have,
the more worries you have. It all depends on what’s
most important to you. I am the Emperor, ruler of Great Qing. In my heart, I can’t just have
my family and ignore the court. Since you care about Khorchin, you want to be on good relations with them. Then you should marry
who you trust the most as the best arrangement. Of course I know that. Marrying Jingse there is most suitable. But Empress just lost Yongcong. How can I let her experience
the pain of losing her child again? I know Your Majesty’s concern,
but the nation has need. The Princess is a royal
subject before she’s a daughter. This matter, let me think of it more. Your Majesty, Lord Fu Heng is begging your attendance
outside the Imperial study. (T/N Empress Fuca’s brother) He must have come over about this matter. He’s going to speak in
favor of the Empress for sure. Since Lord Fu Heng is asking to see
you, perhaps you should hear him too. Naquin went to the court to oppose
Hengti marrying far off to Mongolia. I don’t know if the
Emperor heard it or not. Don’t rush, Empress Dowager.
You need to stay calm. The Emperor hasn’t come to
greet me for many days now. He’s avoiding me on purpose. Some things I can’t say. But someone needs to go and tell him. Empress Dowager, you mean
Imperial Concubines Shu and Mei? You raise an army for a
thousand days for one day of use. Naquin and his group put
in their words in the court. The harem needs to blow the side wind too. It’s a pity. Imperial Concubine Shu is too
infatuated and she’s useless. Imperial Concubine Mei wants to. But she speaks badly
and can’t be persuasive. His Majesty is anxious lately. I fear only Noble Consort Xian can
say a word through to His Majesty now. Perhaps I should go
find Noble Consort Xian. We go to her first? But I don’t want to give her that pride. Yes. But Empress Dowager. In
the royal court, Lord Naquin. He’s been opposing His Majesty to
marrying off Grand Princess Hengti. But he’s also told you in private that Grand Princess Hengti
marrying to Khorchin isn’t so bad, since they are chief of Mongol tribes. If the Grand Princess marries there, your position in the palace and court, will be better too. These things, I also know. But all benefits added together still won’t make up for
keeping my child close to me. That year, Hengchuo married far away. I couldn’t ignore my duty as the Noble
Consort to make the sacrifice for the court. I tried not to remember I was a mother. But now, I live daily
in longing for Hengchuo. The only one left by me, Hengti,
might be married far away too. I can’t think about the benefits or duty. The person I am now is a mother first before
I’m Empress Dowager. Noble Consort Xian is here
to greet Empress Dowager. Let her in. Greetings to the Empress Dowager. Rise. Be seated. Thank you, Empress Dowager. At this time, what brings you here? I am a junior. I came to help
Your Highness dissipate your worry. Even the high ministers of the
court can’t dissuade the Emperor. You mean you will go dissuade him? The high ministers, I fear, have
surrounded themselves on a point. Actually Zhang Tingyu, Lord
Zhang came to see His Majesty. He listed the benefits of
marrying Princess Hejing. The Emperor listened? I don’t know. I beg you, Empress Dowager,
to let the ministers know they should strenuously emphasize the benefits
of marrying off Grand Princess Hengti, to persuade them to be in favor of
marrying off the Grand Princess far away. Noble Consort Xian, you’re stabbing
Empress Dowager where it hurts though. Not only that, Your Highness
should go out yourself. Let the Emperor know that you already know the
benefits of marrying off the Grand Princess. That you must marry her off. I go myself to say to marry off Hengti? Yes. Of course I don’t really mean
for you to marry off your daughter. I just want to keep Grand
Princess by your side. So I make my plea that Your
Highness unite the court and harem. The more the people know that
you want to marry off your daughter, especially letting the
Emperor and Empress know, the more likely you can preserve
Grand Princess Hengti in the palace. Choosing profit. That’s the choice of the Empress. To preserve the child
is the choice of a mother. The Empress is a mother
and she knows it too, she can’t be parted from her daughter. I believe she’s forgotten her position
as Empress amid the panic of a mother. Coming here to put up a fight for
Princess Hejing despite her illness. At this time, whoever chooses to settle first
and make first move, between you and Empress, will be the one who gets
to keep her daughter instead. So many benefits as to what moves people. I shall go make a ruckus myself, and let Fuca clan be uneasy. Then they will pressure the Empress. The Empress is Fuca clan’s daughter and she will
be inclined to think for the sake of the clan. Since she’s pressured by her own clan, she will have no choice either. I’ve underestimated you. Indeed you are sharp-witted. Thank you, Empress
Dowager, for your praise. His Majesty’s been struggling
with this for so long. I just want to assist him
to be spared of this worry. Once solved, the court will be stable. And I can slowly repay the Empress
Dowager’s grace of saving me then. – Truly so?
– Truly so. I fear you still hate the Empress. I don’t dare. Smart as ice and snow. Your temperament, I do like. Your Majesty, you’re still worried
about Mongol’s marriage request? Don’t look at me like that. I won’t talk nonsense anymore. Actually I am a mother
to Princess Hejing too. Of course I wish for her to stay. There you sound more proper. To marry into Mongolia, that’s
gaining a very reliable backer. Your Majesty is so filial, so
naturally you wish for Khorchin, such a great and fierce son-in-law
to be given to Empress Dowager. A reliable backer. You understand that logic? So wouldn’t I? Your Majesty is naturally the smartest. Whose son-in-law would help who. Alright. Enough. I’ve made up my mind. You can go. I’ll take my leave. His Majesty wants me and Noble
Consort Chun to persuade Princess Hejing? Yes. His Majesty is
afraid he’ll be embarrassed. Though His Majesty has already
decided to marry off Princess Hejing, he feels unsettled. If Mistress Xian and Noble Consort Chun can
persuade Princess Hejing to accept happily, then His Majesty would feel more at ease. I understand. It’s time I should help His
Majesty lessen his worry too. But I fear the Princess’
temperament isn’t so easily persuaded. Princess Hejing is the legitimate
princess given birth to by the Empress. She’s very stubborn and
always difficult to talk to. It’s a problem for you
and Noble Consort Chun. Noble Consort Chun already knows. She’s rushing here to discuss it with you. I understand. You may go. Yes. Mistress, you and Noble Consort
Chun have a sharp thorn to face. Perhaps. Persuading Princess Hejing can’t
be done behind the Empress’ back. Let’s wait until the afternoon when Empress’ has had
her medicine and is more alert, we’ll go see her first. Shouldn’t you go persuade
Princess Hejing first? His Majesty didn’t say for you to
go see Her Highness the Empress first. Her Highness the Empress is Princess Hejing’s
mother. This isn’t a matter we can keep from her. Fu Heng, he’s my brother. Why is he so greedy? Because he heard the ministers speak of the
benefits of Hengti marrying into Khorchin, just like that wants
me to marry off Jingse. Even Lord Zhang Tingyu spoke
to His Majesty about this. Even if you can’t spare her, you have to think of what’s
best for the Fuca clan. Why wouldn’t I know that
marrying to the Khorchin tribe is a great benefit to Fuca clan? This can assist His Majesty in governing the great Mongolian empire. Unfortunately, I am a mother. I can’t lose Jingse. But Lord Fu Heng said that it’s a great benefit, we can’t give
it to the Empress Dowager and Niohuru clan. All my life, I’ve lived for Fuca clan. They can’t give me just
this small allowance? Lord Fu Heng said you’re gravely ill, we can’t not think of the big picture. If you… who else can
settle the Princess’ marriage? They are not thinking
what’s best for me or Jingse. Just the gain of Fuca
is what they all think of. You’re the Empress of Great Qing. You’re the Fuca clan’s Empress even more! For Fuca’s glory, I’ve dedicated my life and blood. In the end, I have to let my own daughter be sacrificed along with me. Your Highness, you
should take the medicine. Your Highness, Noble Consort Xian is here. How bustling it is today. Consort Jia just left and you came. Everyone’s gathering by me. I came to report to
Your Highness the Empress. His Majesty ordered Noble Consort
Chun and I to persuade Princess Hejing to marry far away into
Mongol’s Khorchin Tribe. His Majesty thought about it over
and over. He will spare momentary loss, for the best marriage for Princess. I am the Empress. If there’s something, His Majesty will discuss
it with me personally. No need for you to come to report it. Plus I am the mother of the world. I am of one heart with the Emperor, and
naturally I put state affairs as the priority. Jingse is the legitimate princess. She should dedicate
everything for the nation. Your Highness the Empress
won’t spare the princess, for the gain of the state,
you are so generous and giving. You make me so admiring of you. Your generous mind will
benefit your health too. Don’t always think about how you almost
became His Majesty’s main wife. Now you look at how I’m weak in health and you want to climb over me. I have no such intention. Your Highness the Empress’ mentioning of it
is due to your own reluctance to let it go. With your mind crowded, it’s
hard to avoid acting confused. I am the national mother of Great Qing. I always carry out affairs in
clear fashion. What confusion? His Majesty understands Your
Highness’ caring for the world and caring for the Fuca clan. His Majesty knows that Your Highness the Empress
will approve Princess Hejing marrying into Mongolia. First, for the plans of the nation and second,
for the Princess to have a good position, and thus help Fuca clan as
well to continue its glory. A woman born to a large clan. Who else doesn’t do her
all for the clan’s sake. Your aunt in Jingren Palace was the same. She spent all her energy to shove
you toward the Emperor and Third Prince. For what? You are just trying your best, and you have no one in your clan. I do indeed have no one in my clan. I am without children as well. I am not as blessed as Your Highness. It was not easy for me to walk
out of the Cold Palace alive either. I just want to live a
simple and happy life. I don’t want to be like Your
Highness, pressured by the clan. Going against one’s own conscience
and putting on a smile over tears. And I won’t have to part from my children. Stop grinding your sharp teeth here! Go persuade Jingse so you can be
loyal to His Majesty’s instruction! May Your Highness the Empress
preserve your royal health. You have to marry off Princess Hejing too. I will take my leave first then. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing
Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com. Your Highness. Your Highness. You didn’t get scalded, right? Please be calm. You must preserve your health.
