All language subtitles for The Song of Glory Episode 5

It's a blessing to the entire Sui Yuan Army that Your Highness is rewarding the troops.

I replaced them with 200,000 soldiers from the Sui Yuan Army thanks to Your Highness.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.

General Shen, you've been on this campaign for many years, worked hard, and performed a valuable service. No formalities.

I heard you just came back to Jiankang City and your wife fell ill.

I've already instructed my medical officer to go and tend to her.

- San Bao.
- Yes.

This is a rare and precious herbal medicine I found in our esteemed pharmacy.

Take it back to your wife.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.

Additionally,

I've already requested that the emperor issue an imperial decree to sanction that marriage for your family.

Bestowed marriage?

Your Highness, there's a difference between nobles and ordinary people.

The founding Emperor Gao, at that time, was just joking.

There's no such blessing for my daughter.

A gentleman does not joke. The great grandfather of the emperor left an edict.

His Majesty and I have discussed this before.

You returned with a triumphant victory. The Imperial Court is entrusting the Shen family with an important responsibility.

Because of this, the Shen family has also been caught in the midst of an intense social struggle.

Forming this alliance is the best protection for the Shen family.

This is the first step His Majesty and I want you to do.

This is on the behalf of the 200,000 soldiers of the Sui Yuan army on the Northern border.

But even more so, for the State and the common people.

General, do not decline again.

I understand.

[Song of Glory]
[Episode 5]

Grand Consort, this is regarding those in the royal ancestral temple.

You must not listen to anything there.

Prince Peng Cheng as a supervisor of politics.

He just got another consort.

How can I not give him due respect?

Moreover, I know nothing about where this royal consort came from.

If he wants to take a side consort to sire children...

That's a good thing.

Siring children is indeed an important matter,

but historically, nobles and ordinary people have never wed each other.

Prince Peng Cheng is taking an ordinary woman as his side consort. This is against our proprieties.

What if this is imitated in every succession in the empire?

The consequences would be severe.

Grand Consort, you must not break the rules of the ancestors.

I hope you will reconsider, on behalf of the state and the commoners,

and break this marriage.

Zhou Xulin, I understand your painstaking effort.

- Chun Fang.
- I'm here.

Zhou Xulin, do you still remember

that Prince Peng Cheng has the edict from the great grandfather of the emperor?

I'm just an imperial grand consort who came from outside the palace.

Do you want me to resist and fail?

I really can't do anything about this issue.

Don't worry.

Yunzhi is a good child. As long as I'm here,

she will be the main wife.

Grand Consort, I'm not doing this for the glory or dishonor of the clan.

It's for the foundations held by Great Song over thousands and thousands of years.

Foundations over thousands and thousands of years?

All right.

Yunzhi, you're here.

- Greetings, Mother Consort.
- Good.

Chun Fang, let's go drink tea.

Yunzhi...

Older Brother, why bother?

Why bother?

Prince Peng Cheng is not giving face to our clan.

He takes the law into his own hands, gives orders to his humble family, arrogant,

and has lost his proprieties. As an official consort, you are impervious to this.

Where have you placed the proprieties of our ancestors?

Older Brother!

- Princess Consort.
- Let's go.

Your Highness.

Xuan'er, you're here.

- Someone come and bring a seat.
- Yes.

Why was Zhou Xulin looking for you?

Your fourth brother is marrying the daughter of the Shen family.

Since Princess Consort keeps getting nowhere...

I'm afraid that Zhou Xulin is getting anxious.

Are you talking about Shen Tingzhang's daughter, that Shen family?

Yes. What other Shen family would there be?

Uncle Ji...

Say, which daughter will the general let Fourth Brother marry?

Of course, it's the biological daughter of the Shen family.

But General Shen just reunited with his daughter.

Will he be willing to let his daughter get married?

Moreover, with Eldest Miss's personality, would she be willing to marry him?

How you feel about the eldest miss of the Shen family, Your Highness,

you're being particularly careful about.

She is just a woman and she even dared to try assassinating Lu Yuan alone.

The first time she met her biological father, she had a violent fight with her younger sister.

She's really someone who abhors evildoers and dares to be bold.

Someone like her will never casually marry someone she has never met.

And the issue about the eldest miss returning to the manor of the Shen family,

wasn't publicly announced by the Shen family either.

So, Your Highness, it will be like what you wished for.

The person who is getting married is the second miss of the Shen family.

Really?

Your Highness, I made an indiscreet remark.

Your Highness, the edict of the emperor's great grandfather

states that the daughter of the Shen family is to marry. Moreover, everyone knows that

ever since the eldest miss of the Shen family went missing,

it is widely known there's a second daughter in General Shen Tingzhang's Shen family.

Hence, it's also possible that Prince Peng Cheng is marrying the second daughter of the Shen family.

What's all this about an eldest miss and a second miss? Make way.

Your Highness!

[San Jiu Hall]

Everyone is looking for you and you still dare to come here.

Madam Shen is ill. I had to come.

It's that severe?

Senior Brother, I remember you have a medicine stone code.

It can treat hysteria. Where is it?

- I burned it.
- You burned it?

I read it and memorized it so I burned it.

Write it down.

Write it.

She's A'Nu's biological mother. Are you willing to let her keep on being unconscious and not wake up?

You're really treating yourself as the daughter of the Shen family, aren't you?

- Do you know that committing to the Shen family is just a temporary measure?
- I understand.

Do you also know that Prince Peng Cheng is taking the daughter of the Shen family as his side consort?

That has nothing to do with me.

As long as Madam Shen is cured then I will leave.

Hurry and write it.

[Formula Recipe for hysteria ]

Practitioner, can this prescription be used?

This method is risky.

If we succeed then Madam will regain consciousnesses.

If it fails, Madam will never be able to recover again.

It's life and death. Please be cautious.

- Zhou Zheng.
- Here.

- Escort the practitioner back.
- Yes, General.

This way, please.

Where did you find this prescription?

San Jiu Hall.

On the surface, San Jiu Hall is a medicinal shop,

but it actually trades in information from the underground community.

Their news is always reliable.

There definitely isn't a problem with this prescription.

Isn't the information from San Jiu Hall expensive?

Where did you get the money from?

The owner of San Jiu Hall owes me a favor.

The situation is tight. Mother does not have much time.

Since there is no other method, why not try it out.

Father.

I really want to save Mother.

Jia'er, what did you call me?

Father and Eldest Brother,

I know that you both have been doubting me ever since I came to the Shen family.

But I really have no reason to harm Mother.

It was Mother who brought me back, gave me this family,

and allowed me to have the warmth of a family.

If I really wanted to harm her,

then I would have left before her illness occurred.

Why would I try to find this prescription?

Please trust me. If there is a problem with this prescription,

I will trade my life for it. I won't say anything else.

Father, Older Sister traveled throughout the underground community. She has seen and experienced many things.

Perhaps this can really save Mother. Let's take a gamble.

I trust Older Sister.

Jia'er, I will give your mother's life

to you.

Mother will definitely be safe and sound.

General, Protectorate General Lu requests to see you.

Protectorate General, you have arrived. I'm sorry to have missed welcoming you sooner.

His Majesty bestowed a marriage, so I'm here especially to congratulate you, General.

Thank you, Protectorate General.

Grandfather mentioned before that

when the General followed Emperor Gaozu to expand the territory

and lay down the dynasty's foundation, you were already a hero leading all the troops.

Now that you are in your elderly years, you are still just as gallant as in the past.

I admire that.

I'm ashamed.

General, don't be modest.

Among the four generals under Emperor Gaozu, you were the only one

who received the accolade of this "Patriotic Pillar."

It's clear that General is blessed by Heaven's protection and is supported by everyone.

Protectorate General, be cautious with your words.

I am His Majesty's subject. My livelihood comes from him and I should help relieve his burden.

It's my duty.

General, you returned victoriously and have also been favored to establish a marriage with the imperial family.

It's double happiness.

Your mightiness can hardly be reached by anyone else.

Why be modest, General?

Protectorate General, you are already the Minister of Five Armies at such a young age.

You are also in charge of 100,000 external guards as the Protectorate General.

We are all by His Majesty's side, of course, you'd know what the limits are.

I am able to have peaceful days today

thanks to Emperor Gaozu

and the current emperor's unwavering support.

I dare not claim this success as my own.

Protectorate General, listen to me.

Gossip must be feared. One must treat other people as a mirror to warn oneself.

You are indeed favored by His Majesty's grace.

Prince Peng Cheng can't be left out either

for his generous support and the promotion.

[Patriotic Manor Pillar]

I was jesting. I hope you don't mind, General.

General, you are calm despite the imperial favor. You truly are an experienced warrior from the battlefield.

I hope you can gain Prince Peng Cheng's trust.

Thank you, Protectorate General, for the kind words.

It's not early anymore. I'll take my leave.

Goodbye, Protectorate General Lu.

[Patriotic Manor Pillar]

Father, Mother's medicine is ready. Let's go take a look.

That voice...

This is the leftover dregs after Madam drank her medicine.

How's Madam?

I heard that Madam still hasn't woken up these past few days.

Eldest Miss is making medicine for Madam and taking care of her.

General treats Eldest Miss...

Eldest Miss?

What a filial elder miss!

Good. Investigate the prescription, and don't let anyone know.

Yes.

Mother.

Mother, be careful.

What did you call me just then?

Mother.

Call me one more time.

Mother.

Good child.

Zelan, you finally woke up.

It was the prescription that Jia'er brought back that saved you.

Mother, don't be too excited.

Do you feel unwell anywhere? This prescription is very strong.

If you feel uncomfortable anywhere then you have to tell me.

Mother.

Father and Mother,

I'm at fault.

I shouldn't have been muddled and commited a big mistake.

Father, this is the scripture that I copied when I was at the shrine

to reflect on my mistake

and also sent to the Hu Guo Temple for the monks to light incense and read.

I... I don't beg for your forgiveness.

I only hope that Mother can recover.

It's good that you reflected on it.

Good thing your mother, right now—

- Mother!
- Mother!

- Mother!
- Zelan!

- How are you doing?
- Zelan!

- Mother!
- Mother!

- Wake up.
- Go find the practitioner.

Hurry and go.

What is going on? Didn't Mother already wake up?

Is there a problem with the prescription?

Make way, Older Sister.

Father, even if I risk my life,

I will save Mother.

Mother.

Are you all right?

I am fine.

Older Sister?

Older Sister, are you blaming me?

Blaming me for stealing your efforts for the past few days.

What do you want to say, Sister?

Inside the medicine that I gave Mother

is an ingredient called achyranthes. (Chaff Flower)

It can dissipate stagnation, but Mother is too weak.

When I was making the medicine, I was being careful.

Mother's illness was getting better.

But today you brought over this bamboo scroll

which had been soaked in the juices of the peach seed.

Peach seeds have a similar effect as achyranthes,

so that's why Mother suddenly started to cough up blood.

That so-called blood was just your camouflage.

Older Sister, you are so knowledgeable. I could not think of so much.

I've been copying scriptures at the Buddhist shrine for the last few days.

How would I know what prescription you used, Older Sister?

If you doubt me, why not just tell on me to Father?

This time, you've really done it without any holes.

But you'd better listen well. I don't want to compete with you on any status.

Just be the miss of the Shen family.

We won't bother each other then.

Do you really think of yourself as the Shen family's daughter?

I don't know if I'm really the Shen family's daughter.

But I know you are not.

You listen well. I don't understand your sneaky tricks.

But if you dare to make trouble for Mother, I'll kill you.

You would not dare to.

I've been traveling in the outside world for so many years,

do you think I haven't killed anyone as despicable as you?

Mother, I learned this when I was in Meizhou. Try it.

All right. You eat, too.

Yes.

Who is hitting me?

Other than your older sister, who else is there?

You don't know the rules anymore.

You're being suspicious in front of your older sister's room. What do you want to do?

I... I was seeing what you guys were secretly eating.

Let me try some.

That is...

It's sweet. It's not bitter at all.

It tastes good.

No manners.

Our Shen family are descendants of military generals.

We also live through turbulent days of blood and blades.

Even us women living inside the manor, we shouldn't forget it either.

That's why when we make lotus soup,

we never remove the seeds, so we'll still taste the bitterness.

I understand.

But Mother, to be honest, it tastes better when it's sweet.

Jia'er, I...

have selected a few more clever and agile servant girls for you.

Mother, if there are more people in here,

she won't have any room to sleep.

What Feng'er said is correct. I already have enough hands in my courtyard.

Oh. This courtyard...

is a bit small. Only a few people already and you can't live here.

How about I expand it for you?

Mother, you're too biased.

This courtyard is about to be bigger than yours.

You only have Older Sister in your heart.

Did you forget that you have two sons?

How old are you?

Are you still acting cute?

Your courtyard is closest to your sister's.

Why not cut down the plum trees in front of your door to turn it into a back garden for your sister?

What? That's the place where I practice martial arts.

You can practice martial arts anywhere.

Enough, Mother. Stop messing with Feng'er.

Rest assured, I will not cut down your plum trees.

Older Sister treats me well.

Jia'er,

I was able to see you again

thanks to your master.

If I'm able to meet him again someday,

then I have to thank him for all he did.

That's right. I have to thank him for letting you come back, too, Older Sister.

Older Sister, I have to face Eldest Brother who is like a column.

I'm about to die from boredom.

You're talking about your eldest brother like that. Aren't you afraid that he'll punish you if he finds out?

I'm telling the truth.

Eldest Brother... Is he really as wooden as a column?

Not only wooden, let me tell you. He has a girl in his heart,

but he's kept her in his heart so long that she has almost decayed.

And don't tell her!

That's right. Your eldest brother

is always reviewing military strategies in his study when not going to work. He is just like an elm tree root.

You can't even make any sound by knocking on it.

Exactly! He doesn't talk much while on duty at the prince's manor.

At home, he is like a wooden column.

When he talks to people, it's so boring.

No matter what people ask him, he only replies, "Hmm."

"Fine."

"Very good."

Am I really like a column?

You don't know that? He only makes replies like that. Always.

General, you're back.

Come and drink the lotus soup that Jia'er made.

You will definitely like it.

Let me tell you. What she made

is different from the one I make.

Actually, it's really sweet without the lotus seeds.

Did something happen?

His Majesty wants the Shen family and Prince Peng Cheng to make an alliance.

Alliance?

We spent eighteen years finding our daughter.

Are we going to let her get married this quickly?

Besides, Prince Peng Cheng is Prince Regent. There are so many ups and downs in the court.

How can we place our daughter in such a situation?

This won't do. I won't agree.

Zelan, His Majesty has already made the decree.

Aristocrats and commoners don't intermarry. What is this marriage alliance really about?

Are those soldiers willing to?

His Majesty's health isn't good.

The Lu family dominates the court. As Prince Regent, Prince Peng Cheng

is forced to proceed despite being humiliated in order to achieve his plan.

To restore the court, he must control the military,

and Prince Peng Cheng can only trust the Shen family.

He is doing it for his plan. What about us?

Then we should make the sacrifice, too?

No matter if it's the past or now,

you only think of government affairs!

When will you think about our family?

At that time, it was because of you that Jia'er...

Enough!

Prince Peng Cheng is the one that needs our Shen family.

Have you ever heard the saying, "High achievers threaten the emperor"?

Since ancient times, for those in politics and power,

there are only two outcomes for those contributing achievers.

Either we'll be trusted forever or...

we, the Shen family, will also need Prince Peng Cheng's protection.

But, General,

we've already found Jia'er.

Let's resign your high position and retire. The whole family can be safe

and live a happy life. How about it?

Zelan, you also descended from a general's family.

You should understand, like me,

why military men fight on bloody battlefields.

When Emperor Gaozu bestowed the Patriotic Pillar to me on his deathbed,

I promised that the future generations of the Shen family

would protect the Song Dynasty.

Lotuses are bitter.

Who is it?

Younger Sister, it's me.

[Jia Ning Court]

Column—

Eldest Brother.

Winter is coming and the room will be cold.

I saw that you don't like maids serving you,

so I prepared a heating pot for you.

Place it inside your bed when you sleep at night.

I doubted you before.

Don't take it to heart.

I... I just...

I know.

You were just worried about Mother.

I won't doubt you again in the future.

I believe that you are my younger sister.

Ever since you came back, Mother's illness has been getting better.

Feng'er is more lively now.

There is more laughter at home now, too.

Jia'er, welcome home.

Thank you, Eldest Brother.

This is great. Prince Peng Cheng is making an alliance with our Shen family.

Be careful.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Are you the daughter of General Shen?

I am. My name is Shen Leqing.

"Pleasure and worry are what you do. Clean and elegant."

It's a good name.

Before, I was hoping you would come to the Shen family.

I would be satisfied if I could only secretly look at you.

Becoming your princess consort

is something I couldn't dream of.

Do you know that you've been hiding in my heart so many years?

I even dream of your every smile and every movement.

Now, I'll finally have the chance to be by your side.

The gods are still blessing me.

They definitely heard me yearning for you.

Young Miss, you must be thinking of marrying the ideal man that you've been missing, so

you're being shy.

You naughty maid! You only know how to tease me.

- You only know how to tease me. I'll chase you.
- All right, all right, I'll stop.

I'll stop talking about it then.

I'm in a good mood today. I'll spare you.

But, Young Miss, the Shen family now has a biological daughter.

So what?

Shen Jia'er just came back so Mother isn't willing to let her get married.

Why don't I get married so that two people's wishes will be fulfilled?

Will... that work?

Even if it doesn't work.

Even if it doesn't work, I'll have to fight for it.

This is my only chance. I can't give up.

[Patriotic Pillar]

Father.

Qing'er?

I heard about His Majesty bestowing the marriage.

I'm willing to marry in Older Sister's stead.

You're willing to marry Prince Peng Cheng as the prince consort?

Yes.

Do you understand that, as a commoner marrying into the imperial family, there won't be wealth or glory waiting for me.

You will also be targeted by the entire nation.

Whether you are favored or not, there will be an endless onslaught of both open and invisible attacks.

I am your daughter. I've been in the Shen manor for years.

You and Mother treat me like your biological daughter.

I shall never forget you and Mother's kindness in raising me.

I am willing to share your burden, Father.

This won't do.

I promised your father to raise you to adulthood

and help you find a secure and happy marriage so that you can live your life safe and sound.

Marrying into the imperial family isn't an easy path.

I understand but His Majesty already made the imperial decree.

The bestowed marriage is already decided. If you decline, it will be considered opposing an imperial command.

Both of you are my daughters.

I can't sacrifice your happiness for Jia'er.

Father, someone has to go.

I am willing to go.

If Older Sister goes,

then I'm worried that Mother will relapse again. What if Mother...

Come.

You're suffering.

I am not.

Father, I was muddled before.

I can't regret enough and want to do this to redeem my guilt.

There's just something else.

There is a difference between biological and adopted daughters. When I marry in Older Sister's stead,

the news may escape because of so many people in the manor.

Therefore, Father should arrange to let Older Sister leave Jiankang temporarily.

Once I get married, you and Mother can bring Older Sister back.

At that time, you can publicly announce finding the Shen family's daughter.

Then that will be better.

All right.

All right.

These are enough for you to spend for a while.

Qing'er, what I told you last time

was to let your cousin have a position in the army.

But Father just came back.

Could it be you want to make the fake act into a real one?

Are you really treating Shen Tingzhang as your biological father?

Don't forget how your father died back then.

If this Shen Tingzhang wasn't greedy for military merits, your father wouldn't have...

Did you do what I told you?

I personally found the people this time.

Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong.

Not ever

do I want to see Shen Jia'er.

I can guarantee

that you won't even be able to find her corpse.

Older Sister, didn't you just come back?

How come you're leaving already? When are you coming back?

Stinky brat, when I'm not here,

don't dare to make Mother angry. Do you hear me?

Do you hear me? Speak up.

I heard you.

Eldest Brother, I won't be in Jiankang City and Younger Sister is marrying into the prince's manor.

In the future, we can only rely on you regarding this family.

I will definitely take care of Mother.

Father.

No need to say it. I understand.

Older Sister,

I was muddled before and I made lots of mistakes.

I hope you won't take it to heart, Older Sister.

Don't worry, Older Sister. We are sisters after all.

I won't disappoint you.

You just have to remember

what I told you.

General and Madam,

the carriage for Eldest Miss is ready.

Sorry, I'm not A'Nu.

My existence might be the most dangerous thing for the Shen family.

Madam, take care.

You don't need to send me off.

Your Highness, just now Fang Qing clearly recognized you but he didn't act any wiser.

Why is His Highness tolerating it?

He was the best student taught by the Imperial Tutor when he was alive.

After the Imperial Tutor passed on, Fang Qing taught at the Elite Academy

and was the role model for all the students in the nation.

Also, he will be an honest official for Great Song.

The new reform's revised laws won't just need people's support,

but a further need for all the outstanding talents from the Elite Academy.

San Bao.

Young Master, be careful!

It's you.

It's you.
