Your Highness.

Ms. Shen is here.

I, Lige,

humbly meet Your Highness.

We are one family now.

Let's drop the formalities.

Thank you.

As expected of the daughter from loyal general's family.

You are extraordinary.

I heard that

you protected,

a servant who made a mistake.

From what I thought,

it was an unintented mistake made by Hong Dan.

It wasn't any serious mistake.

The rules are strict in this mansion.

But it's not unreasonable.

Qiu Qin.

Lige will be staying in Han Ling Pavilion temporarily.

So, she will have the right to decide,

all matters in Han Ling Pavillion.

Tell the servants,

to be alert about that.

Understood?

Yes.

Thank you for your concern.

Lige, you just moved in to this mansion,

it's good that you are kind.

But you also need to understand that,

you have to be kind and strict in the same time.

Have both strength and gentleness.

Abide by the rules.

Actually,

this is also for protecting yourself.

Thank you, Your Highness, for your teaching.

Yu Yan, did you bring the jewelry?

I will go have a look.

Come and sit here.

This way.

Why are you late?

You can't even do a simply task.

The Song of Glory

Episode 18

I hired the best artisan

of the town to

specially customize for your wedding.

Take a look, see if you like it.

Your Highness is treating me so well,

I am very grateful.

You are welcome.

His Majesty attaches the greatest importance to this wedding.

Also, we shouldn't neglect

the etiquette.

Have some tea.

My Lady,

these jewelleries are so beautiful.

I've never thought that,

I will be able to see

such beautiful jewelleries in my whole life.

Later when we go back,

I will let you try them on.

My Lady.

Really?

That's great.

I will try it on later.

These are for your wedding.

Don't trifle with it.

What about it?

Those are merely a set of jewelleries.

Yeah.

I just want to try it on.

Be careful, don't break it.

It's okay.

I will do it.

Look.

Your Majesty.

She should be Ms. Shen.

Do you want to go have a look?

Never mind.

Your Majesty.

My Lady, that's King Peng Cheng.

My Lady, are you that impatient?

Are you just going to

look at him like that?

How about

we go take a closer look?

Go by yourself.

All right, I will go by myself.

King Peng Cheng,

what kind of person is he?

My Lady,

if you really want to know,

both of us will go,

and investigate for you.

All right, both of you can go.

But do not let the others know.

Understood.

You are happy, right?

Go, go.

Tell someone to buy some makeup products

for the servants.

Let them

spread out the fact that, Lige has

a body full of scars.

The more serious, the better.

Since everyone is looking at

Lige entering the mansion,

how about making her more famous?

Yes, My Lady.

I understand.

Go forward, go forward.

Go forward.

Okay, stop.

How's that?

I can't see it.

There's one.

Over there.

Over there, over there.

Right, go forward.

Further.

Move forward.

Okay, stop.

Stop, there's one here.

Okay.

Is there any?

No.

Not this.

Did they bother you?

I'll go now.

There's one more over there.

Yes, right here.

Quick, lean more forward.

Yes, go forward.

More forward.

My Lady.

You haven't finished learning the etiquettes,

yet you're here catching the birds.

If Her Highness knows,

she will be blaming you.

One moment.

My Lady, did you find any?

My Lady, are there any birds this time?

No.

It seems to be there.

Quick, quick.

Push over there.

Move forward.

It's right at the front.

Push over, push over.

We are getting near.

Okay, push forward.

Stop, okay.

She is the one from the Shen family.

She's so unruly.

I can't reach it.

No wonder Her Highness

made her enter the mansion to learn the etiquettes in advance.

Your Highness, do you need me to report about it?

Never mind.

I quite like her.

I found it, I found it.

It's here.

That's great.

That's great.

It's right here.

That's great.

Be careful.

Okay.

My Lady.

You didn't learn the etiquette,

but spend so much time to save the bird,

what's more important to you?

The etiquette class or the bird?

Aunt Yue Mei,

look at this bird,

look how pitiful it is.

It has been chirping

for a few days.

It must be hungry.

Also, look,

it couldn't fly.

It must be injured.

If the bird's mother knows,

how sad will she be?

Don't you worry,

I will be replacing

the classes I missed.

I will also learn

the etiquette I should be learning.

How about this?

Still, you shouldn't climb up and down

in the future.

It's not nice to see.

I will follow your teaching.

Xiao Xin, Hong Dan,

wrap the wound later,

and feed it something.

It's so cute.

I will surely feed it a lot.

And make it grow well.

Be quiet, you're scaring the bird.

Okay.

It's been a long time,

I haven't listened to such happy laughters

in this mansion.

But, she...

Let's go.

Your Highness.

His Majesty went to visit Her Highness,

and made a chestnut soup for Her Highness.

There's still sound.

Let's search again.

There.

Be careful.

Don't drop it.

Give it to me.

It seems to be there.

Give it to me.

I still quite like her.

Then please look after her.

I mean,

General Shen was worried that his daughter,

doesn't know the etiquette

and make you angry.

Then please tell the General,

that I will surely take a good care of her.

Sure.

Let's go.

It's right there, My Lady.

Where?

Come over, I will take you.

Give it to me.

Be careful.

Careful.

Be careful.

Let's go.

That's good. It's right there.

I can't reach it.

Be careful.

Careful.

Okay.

Let's go.

Higher.

Your appearance comes from your heart.

You have to put on a smile.

I'm almost numb.

If His Majesty sees me

with this face in the future,

he will be scared.

Aunt,

she's been sitting there for two hours,

why don't you let her rest for a while?

You're tired already?

Aunt Yue Mei.

We all know that

this is the King Peng Cheng's mansion.

This is different from other mansions.

Aunt Yue Mei.

We know that

you spent a lot of effort

to teach our Lady,

we are all very grateful about that.

Aunt.

Snacks sent by Her Highness.

Snacks sent by Her Highness?

My Lady,

you haven't finished your lesson yet.

Do not move around.

These are the snacks from Her Highness,

surely it's for me to eat.

And I'm hungry now.

Why?

Are you

going to disobey Her Highness's order?

All right, you can bring it back.

Yes.

Wait.

Do not say that, My Lady,

I didn't mean that.

I know you're the best.

Come and have some snacks.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Aunt, you have a bite too.

Have a short break, My Lady.

I will be back later.

Then we will eat it all ourselves.

Thank you so much.

How's the progress?

Have you got any news?

Yes.

His Majesty goes to the Consort's Jiao Hua Pavilion

on the first and 15th of every month

for dinner.

This is the rule set by Her Highness.

There's even a rule for dinner as well?

Because the His Majesty and the Consort

are not very close.

If it wasn't for

the rule set by Her Highness,

His Majesty never goes to visit

the Consort even every half a year.

So,

that's why the Consort haven't given birth yet.

It seems that,

the Consort is quite pitiful.

But, My Lady,

this is a good opportunity for you.

Later,

you go inquire

the news of King Peng Cheng.

Yes.

Come over and have some snacks first.

It's that...

There's only a small portion of the snacks.

As small as a green bean.

It's not even enough for us.

Luckily there's one more, come.

I didn't see this one just now.

It's good.

Hong Dan, have a bite.

What's with the rush?

If the Central Protector wants to stop Lige

from marrying into the king's mansion.

Maybe there's a chance now.

Make it clear.

Someone from the mansion said that

there's a serious scar

on Shen Lige's body.

If we spread this news,

Shen Lige

won't get a chance to enter the mansion.

Central Protector once said that

we only need to observe her.

And not do anything else.

Central Protector told me to observe her,

doesn't that also mean to find a chance?

Now we have a chance,

why don't we use it?

I will find Central Protector myself.

Central Protector wants her to die.

What the worth of a small scar?

Then,

if she's kicked out of the mansion,

won't there be a chance for us to kill her?

Shen Leqing, I warn you.

You should only be Central Protector's eyes.

If you disobey,

Central Protector doesn't mind

to change to another pair of eyes.

You are now

merely someone without a shelter.

Central Protector has given you a chance,

you should cherish it.

Why are you here?

Leave us alone.

Yes.

Yu Yan,

This is the brocade

that the Weaver House just made for the Consort.

You may examine it.

Yu Yan,

when will you allow me to enter the inner hall?

You're sent by

the Chief Secretariat.

Her Highness doesn't like that.

Fine.

I see that you're a smart one.

I will look for a chance,

to say good things about you to Her Highness.

Thank you.

Yu Yan,

the Chief Secretariat is doing it

for the sake of Her Highness.

If Ms. Shen is favored,

I'm afraid the consort's status won't be guaranteed.

There's a rumour in the mansion,

saying that Ms. Shen has a scar on her body.

Have you heard of that?

What scar?

Ms. Shen

was out on the street since childhood.

She has a big scar on her body.

We don't know

what she went through.

If Her Highness knows,

surely, Her Highness won't tolerate it.

Don't you worry.

I, Qing,

know what to do.

You can go.

Oh God.

Where is this place?

How many people are living in this mansion?

God, this place is so big.

Where should I go?

Here it is.

So nice.

The fabric.

What are you doing?

The fabric I got from Her Highness just now.

It has fell into the pond.

There's no use picking it up.

It can still be used after washed.

Are you crazy?

You are the crazy one.

You dare to scold me?

I even dare to hit you.

Try me.

Such good fabric.

I didn't even dare to dream about it.

How dare you?

Whose servent are you?

I'm from Shen's mansion.

Shen's mansion?

Then...

Then I will let you go.

What? Are you scared?

I...

You what?

I'll pick it up for you.

Return home and wash it. Dry it in the shade.

Don't dry it in the sun.

Come over.

Over there.

I wonder what kind of a person is

the Lady from Shen's mansion.

My Lady.

Later, Aunt Yue Mei,

will come over and have a check

on your etiquette.

Don't you hurry and practice.

Eat a lot.

In case you get a punishment later.

Eat more.

Stop feeding.

I will practice later.

What's the rush?

Eat it.

My Lady, hurry and practice.

If not,

I will grill it

and eat it.

Xiao Xin.

This is such a cute bird.

How can you eat it?

My Lady.

King Jing Ling asked me to

protect you.

And now you need to

learn all of the etiquettes

to avoid making mistakes

and to protect yourself.

I don't dare to

disobey the order from King Jing Ling.

You don't dare to disobey

the order of King Jing Ling,

but you dare to disobey mine?

My Lady, whatever you like,

anyway...

you just practice first.

Let's practice.

All right, I will practice.

Are you satisfied now?

Okay, hurry.

Take care of it.

Today, Aunt Yue Mei said,

you have to get up when you pour the wine.

Your gesture needs to be small.

Pour it downward.

Down a little more.

More.

The angle of the wine pot shouldn't be too low.

Higher.

Higher.

That's right.

Most importantly, you shouldn't

spill the wine out of the cup.

Your steps should be light and small.

That's it, My Lady.

Try it.

Xiao Xin did it very well.

She is

already so ladylike.

In the future,

you can even marry a Civil Officer.

Don't worry.

If I got the chance,

I will surely talk to my father,

let him get you a good family to marry.

I just learned this not long a go.

My Lady,

I learned it for you.

Yet you tease me.

I don't care anymore.

Don't forget to talk about it to your father.

Forget it.

Lige.

Big brother.

Why are you here?

I am here to look for King Peng Cheng.

This is for you.

You even brought me some nice food.

Come over here and sit.

Okay.

Let me try it first.

It's so good. I'm so happy.

Are you adapting well?

Mother misses you a lot.

Quite good.

How about mother? Is she okay?

She's good.

Mother made this cake herself.

She insisted me to bring it to you.

I knew it.

Mother is the best chef.

Home food is always the best.

How's father?

He's having a meeting with King Peng Cheng at Cheng Xiu Pavillion.

Brother,

Did father go to the Wang's family to propose the marriage?

He went.

But Uncle Wang is ill.

So, he will go visit him after a while.

Don't worry, big brother.

You and sister Zijin like eachother so much.

You guys will be together.

There's only one thing

that make everyone feel uneasy.

Qing is missing.

Didn't she marry to Tongcheng?

Tongcheng sent a letter.

Saying that they didn't even see her.

Now, nobody could find Qing.

They didn't see her?

Father had already sent people to look for her.

Thank you brother for gifting me this wind chime.

I like it so much.

Good that you like it.

Your Uncle Wang

rejected the proposal.

I know.

Brother Wang didn't have much wishes,

he only

wishes that Zijin could live a stable life.

Dad.

I'm okay.

I also wish that

Zijin could have a safe and happy life.

Shut up.

How could Ms. Shen

have scars on her body?

It is already spread out

in the whole mansion.

See, how can this kind of person

serve King Peng Cheng?

And from what I heard, it's a knife scar.

It's scary.

Knife scar?

How is that possible?

Right?

I also think that it's impossible.

You see,

a girl with knife scars

all over her body,

how scary is that?

Your Highness.

Who was making false statement just now?

It was me.

Let me explain.

I was the one who said those words just now.

But it wasn't false statement.

Not a false statement?

Yes.

Everyone's been saying, Ms. Shen has a knife scar

all over her body.

They even said...

Tell me.

They said Ms. Shen

was living out on the street since childhood.

And she even got knife scars on her body.

They were not sure

what she experienced out there,

yet she was still able to return to Shen's mansion.

She must be a tough person.

She will affect His Majesty's luck,

and bring bad luck to the mansion.

Shut up.

Chun Fang.

Yes.

Slap her.

Yes.

Come here.

Beat her with the canes for twenty times.

Let this be a warning

to those who talk loud

without knowing their own place.

Yes.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Knife scar?

Seems like

it is time for us

to meet this Ms. Shen with knife scars.

Harder.

The buckle must be tightened.

Try harder.

Harder.

What are you doing? Harder.

Pull it.

Harder, harder.

Didn't you see that

Xiao Xin has ran out of breath?

What kind of lousy rule is this?

Do you want me to

strangle King Peng Cheng to death?

Nonsense.

Didn't you teach me this just now?

Your Highness.

Help.

Your Highness, help me.

Your Highness.

All right, all right.

Aunt Yue Mei, you worked hard.

Let's call it a day.

But, Your Highness...

It's only one or two days.

This mansion

hasn't been

so lively for quite some time.

If it's not for you,

I'm afraid that this mansion

will still be so quiet.

I heard that you lived outside before,

could you

share with me

the stories when you were living outside?

Of course.

Great, I really like your personality.

Come.

Have a meal at Jiao Hua Pavillion with me.

Okay.

Let's go.

Although the bully was

so big in size,

I just went up

and slapped him.

He didn't know how to react.

He was like this.

Then,

he let the kids go.

Not only letting the kids go.

I even make them

set up a porridge stall,

to help the people who passed by.

Come.

Let me tell you another story.

I remember there was a time,

when I was in Huzhou,

I encountered a trickster.

Have a guess of what happens next.

He only deceived young men and women.

Awful, right?

What happened next?

I got into the crowd,

while he didn't pay attention,

have a guess?

What?

I kicked him

into a pit on the ground.

Right?

There are a lot more unexpected, interesting stories

in the outside world.

My Lady,

you have eaten three pieces just now,

you're going to have the fourth piece at this rate.

Your Highness,

among all these rules,

the one that I don't understand the most,

is "not having more than three bites".

"Not having more than three bites" means "not overeating".

It means that your desire has to be restrained.

But this isn't right.

They said not having more than three bites,

but why did they make so much food?

Isn't this wasteful?

Right.

I think you are right.

Before that,

I was following all of the rules.

But I have never thought of

"Why do I do this?" or "Is this right?"

I think what you're saying

is very reasonable.

If so,

sister, you should also eat more.

If you like this snack so much,

you can go to the imperial kitchen,

and take some home.

Yes.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I never thought that,

you will be treating me so well.

You're welcome.

People always said women in the same mansion fight.

But isn't this fight

all came from

the same sadness?

We had no choice.

We make match by parents' order and on the matchmaker's word.

It's normal for men to have more than one wife.

However, us women,

all we look for,

are maybe

only some romance.

So, why think too much about it?

We only need to watch,

be at the side,

maybe that's the best thing to do.

Big sister.

Lige.

I know you are not the kind of person

who likes to compare with other nor a vain creature.

Ever since you entered this mansion,

we have heard

a lot of laughters in this mansion.

I'm also happy by looking at it.

As long as you're happy.

Your Highness.

Yes?

Her Highness heard that

Ms. Shen is also here.

Her Highness wants to meet her.

You can also go along.

Yu Yan.

Bring along the orange

that we received from the palace.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

This is the Lady from Shen's family.

I, Shen Lige,

humbly meet Your Highness.

Your Highness.

This is the orange from the country side.

We just received it this morning.

I picked some of the good ones,

for you to try.

The appearance of the orange,

isn't it so ugly?

Your Highness.

This orange is Jiangzhou's special local product.

On the skin,

if the orange scar is thicker,

it means the juice is also thicker.

Your Highness.

I wonder how the imperial kitchen do their job.

Why did they allow the oranges with scars,

to be sent in king's mansion?

People and oranges are the same.

We want the precious ones.

But from what I heard, Ms. Shen,

is the same with the orange,

both with the body full of scars?

Your Highness.

Since ancient times, when women got married into the royal family,

first, we look for behaviour,

second, her family,

third, her appearance.

You're not from a strong family.

If you have a body full of scars,

how can you

serve King Peng Cheng?

Your Highness,

His Majesty marries a side concubine

only for Emperor Gaozu's decree.

Moreover,

Shen's family is a meritorious family.

How about letting me have a check,

and then...

It's okay.

Consort,

you and me

are not the ones who can decide on this matter.

We will leave it to King Peng Cheng.

He will decide himself.

Ms. Shen took off her clothes

in front of Her Highness.

And showed the scars on her body.

I heard that it looks scary.

What did Her Highness say?

Her Highness said...

Her Highness said,

they will leave it for King Peng Cheng to decide.

Why are you here?

Your Majesty.

What do you think?

What about you?

I talked with the best physician in the mansion,

they told me that,

when Emperor Gaozu

went on a war,

there was a herb

called the Yufu Cream.

It was made specially for knife scars.

Maybe it can help Ms. Shen.

Thank you.

I thank you,

on behalf of General Shen.

I am a Consort.

It's my duty to take care of my sisters.

Moreover,

I really do like Ms. Shen.

Since childhood,

I only followed the rules.

But I've never

thought of the reason following it,

and I also never did

anything outside of the rules.

But Ms. Shen,

it seems like

she came from another world.

I feel interesting and fun about that.

Your Majesty.

How about

we go have a look

of this future concubine?

According to the etiquettes,

I shouldn't be meeting her

before the wedding.

The rules are set by human.

I don't dare to break it.

But didn't Your Majesty, want to break the old system?

Don't you dare to break the rules?

Nowadays,

people in the mansion keep saying,

the scars will affect Your Majesty,

and bring bad luck.

If Your Majesty go to meet Ms. Shen now,

it will serve as a proof that

Your Majesty won't let the scars,

to affect your wedding.

This will also comfort Ms. Shen as well.

Everyone

objects that I marry a commoner to our mansion.

Only you are the one who's open about that.

I am happy with that.

Commoner or not,

they are all people of Song.

Your Majesty,

you shouldn't

have any favoritism, right?

Your Majesty,

go have a look.

My Lady, how did you get

these scars?

All of these

are the evidence that

I walked through the world.

I can't fade it,

and I shouldn't fade it.

My Lady,

what is King Peng Cheng

backs out the wedding because of this?

In the marriage between King Peng Cheng and Shen's family,

what he cares about

is Shen's family’s military power in the northland.

marry me or not,

has nothing to do with the scars.

This is their political game.

Just that, we have to be ready

for something.

Yes.

What do you need to prepare?

I will go prepare now.

My Lady,

these hairpins,

are sent by Her Highness.

It's very kind of Her Highness.

My Lady,

My Lady,

King Peng Cheng and Her Majesty is here.

King Peng Cheng.

A servant

came to me just now,

asked you to be ready.

Xiao Xin, Hong Dan,

help me change the clothes.

Yes.

Go, Your Majesty.

I already asked someone

to inform Han Ling Pavilion.

I'm sure,

Ms. Shen is already

ready to welcome you.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

King Jing Ling has an urgent military report.

He is waiting at Cheng Xiu Pavillion.

My Lady, please hold for a while.

My Lady.

Why do you treat yourself like this?

Look how much you're suffering.

These wounds are nothing.

This time,

if I am able to kick Shen Lige out,

these wounds are worthy.

Any news of Her Highness?

From what I heard from Ren Shou Pavilion,

today Her Highness,

called the Consort

and Shen Lige for a meeting.

Shen Lige showed her scars

in front of Her Highness.

What did Her Highness say, then?

Her Highness said it's nothing she can control.

She will leave it to King Peng Cheng.

My Lady,

I think Shen Lige,

will not be able to escape this time.

There's no one who can accept

a concubine full of scars.

Your Highness.

Here you are.

Come, sit over here.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you less talkative?

This is not like you.

Your Highness,

could you let me go out of the mansion?

Go out of the mansion?

Are you worrying about your scars?

I have those scars

since I was small.

I'm afraid it'll not be easy

for me to erase them.

I also don't want Her Highness and you

put too much effort on it.

I just wanted Your Highness

give me two more days,

for me to finish the etiquette class.

With that,

I can have something

to show to my parents.

You don't have to worry.

I have already told

King Peng Cheng about this.

He doesn't mind.

Whether the scars can be removed,

it won't affect

your wedding.

You don't have to worry.

Right.

I happened to invite Physician Sun today,

let him have a look for you.

Here he is.

I am Sun Zehai from the royal pharmacy.

Your Highness.

Physician Sun.

This is Ms. Shen.

Soon to be the concubine of King Peng Cheng's mansion.

Can I know the cause

of the scars on your body?

It was caused by sharp objects.

I have a handed down recipe,

it's called Yufu Cream.

It's for scar removal.

However, when you use this medicine,

you will the itchiness on the scars.

But if you can

go through these three days of suffering,

your skin

will be renewed like a newborn's skin.

Will that be uncomfortable?

Don't worry.

You've helped me so much,

I won't disappoint you.

Moreover,

I was born in the outside world,

I've experienced so many things.

This

is nothing to me.

I will have the medicine ready.

I will ask the physician's office to cook the medicine.

and apply it for Ms. Shen.

Thank you, Physician Sun.

It's an honor

to be able to serve Ms. Shen.

I will be leaving now.

My Lady, bad news.

The Consort ask Physician Sun

to treat Shen Lige.

Didn't expect the Consort to help her.

Let's go.

Where?

To the pharmacy.

Physician Sun,

should we put three or four

Ginkgo slices in Yufu Cream?

Four pieces of ginkgo leaves grounded into powder.

Also,

White chalcedony,

and Narce to be grounded into powder.

About six Qian.

The measurement of this recipe

shouldn't have any mistakes.

You need to be extra careful.

It can endanger one's life even with slightly more of it.

Remember that.

Yes.

Also,

you have to prepare the medicine the same way every day.

No mistakes allowed.

Yes.

You,

follow me.

Yes.

Ling Xi.

You go distract him.

Yes.

I am from Jiao Hua Pavilion.
