One coiled dragon pot

A pair of gold and silver cloud patterned wine jars

Two cloud pattered pots

8 Vermillion bird cups

One, two, three

3 green jade plates

2 ample Northern furnaces

One cloud patterned, 4 petal rounded basin

Dawang

This is the dowry list that Wanghou delivered

It seems that Wanghou still puts a lot of thought into things

Wanghou sent someone to check

Everything that was sent over as dowry from Chu

She ordered her dowry maids

To also make an inventory of their things

When Mi Yue married into Qin she she was penniless

There is no need to investigate

Yes

But the other two dowry maids

Those two had a little background in Chu

That Jing Shi

Her elder brother is Chu's gifted scholar Jing Cha

Now that she is pregnant she should not be troubled

You send two capable people

To help her

Yes

As for that Meng Zhaoshi

She is Zhao Yang's person

How could I forget

Meng Zhaoshi is Chu's Prime Minister's

Zhao Yang's niece

Be careful

These clothes and jewelry

Are all precious things

If they are damaged

You will not be able to compensate from them

Will Wanghou not let us make and inventory of our own things

How come there are so many unrelated people

Shut up

Wasn't Jing Shi also sent people

It's probably because they were afraid that making an inventory would make us tired

Furen, why are you so anxious

Da Jian, I am not like Wanghou

Who had several hundred carriages filled with dowry

Is there something

That is worthwhile to search like this

Sometimes in hundreds of cars of dowry

There is still not something as good as a small priceless item

Da Jian is joking

Did you find anything

Da Jian look

This is my family book

This is exactly what I am looking fo

It seems Furen

That you will have to take a trip with me

Da Jian it's so late

You, what do you mean

Meng Zhaoshi

Dawang passed an edict to interrogate you

Why

When you see Dawang won't you know

Please

These are all what Wanghou purchases after entering the palace

Or things Dawang bestowed

Even so

You must still keep a record

And hand it over to internal affairs to file

Alright

Wanghou, not good

Last night Mu Jian received Dawang's order

To take Meng Zhaoshi to internal affairs for questioning

She has not come back yet

What happened

It is said that Meng Zhaoshi

Colluded with Wei to spy

How can this be

Wanghou, perhaps there are some people who want to deal with Wanghou

And started from Meng Zhaoshi

Meng Zhaoshi is Wanghou's dowry maid

If this matter spreads out

How can Wanghou escape responsibility

This matter has nothing to do with Wanghou

It is best to pretend not to know anything

This is called misfortune never comes alone

I still have now washed off the criminal charges from my body

And something is happening with Meng Zhaoshi

Try to dodge but fail to dodge

Go announce me in Xuanshi hall

Criminal Mi Shu pays respects to Dawang

Why is Wanghou doing this

Mi Shu is the harem's leader

Unexpectedly a dowry maid from my side has colluded with foreigners

And committed such a heinous crime without my knowledge

It is hard to escape the responsibility for my carelessness

I am unworthy of Dawang's trust

Hope Dawang will issue punishment

The matter is not related to you

Meng Zhaoshi did not abide by the law

And had secret relations with someone outside the palace

To sow discord and create trouble

This is all not fit to see the light of day

She is the person behind

The Heshi jade case

You are lucky

It seems that if Mi Yue was not poisoned

Then Wanghou may have been

It seems

That Wanghou is also a victim

Dawang

Ji-er, Ji-er

Give mother a smile

Meng Zhaoshi is dead

Come

You go out first

Let's go

How did she die

I heard Meng Zhaoshi was granted suicide by Dawang

Meng Zhaoshi is pitiful

I do not believe she had the guts

To collude with Zhao Yang and Gongsun Yan

Her intention was only the harem

To fight for a higher position, that's it

Jing Shi was also ruined

After Dawang gave the order for Meng Zhaoshi's suicide

Jing Shi was frightened that night and had continuous stomach pain

The child was born premature

It was alive no more than half an hour before it died

Because Meng Zhaoshi was Wanghou's dowry maid

In this cold weather

Wanghou actually wore crude white clothes

And bare feet to go confess her sins in Xuanshi hall

Fortunately, Dawang can distinguish right from wrong

And did not blame her

People in the harem are like boats traveling on water

Everyone is submerged in an undercurrent

Even I have to be careful

It is difficult to escape capsizing

Yes

Accompany me to see Wanghou

Wanghou, Mi Bazi came

Wanghou

It is already early spring

Jiejie must not always shut yourself indoors

Come with me to take a walk in the garden

Just yesterday we had a large snowfall

Where is it spring

Jiejie can breath some fresh air and become more cheerful

Didn't the falling snow also fill the sky with falling flowers

Unfortunately, every flower was small

Jiejie

All right

In the matter last time

Thank you for defending me infront of Dawang

Zhenzhu, go bring my cloak

I will go with Bazi to get some fresh air

Yes

Aunt, you look

Your body has felt a lot better these days

Running around in the snow

Beware that you don't catch a cold

You two girls

I let you follow Bazi

So that she would not go places that she should not go

Aunt, it's already the beginning of Spring

The wind of Spring is the most bone chilling

It's been more than a year since I was pregnant with Ji-er

I've not been allowed to go horseback riding or play with my whip

Not been allowed to see the wind or see the snow

Not allowed to bask in the sun or move much

I did not what I can do

It's not that I wanted to restrain you

You have been at the gates of hell how many times

But then quickly forget it

So I have to grasp the moment

When my next trip to the gates of hell will be

I do not know yet

Aunt, do these look good

Good

If we were in Chu

These would be covering the whole land

In Qin, these seem precious

Two years ago I asked Dawang

To move dozens of plum blossom trees from Hanzhong

This year is the first time they bloomed

You did not notify me that the flowers had bloomed

Or said a word of thanks

Dawang

This is first time I saw it

I just picked these few branches

And was planning to let someone deliver them to Dawang

You keep them yourself

There were recently some hard days

Place them in your room to add some cheer

Xiang-er, Hui-er

You bring several people over

And pick some more

Send some to Wanghou and the other Furens in the palace

To let

Everyone else also have some cheer

Yes, Yes

Dawang, how do you have free time today

To come here to see me

Just a moment ago I was sitting with Wanghou

I came over to see you in passing

Qin's main army has gathered at Hangu Pass

The army provisions are in short supply

Wanghou has proposed using her dowry jewelry

To prepare provisions

I did not expect that Wanghou would be this principled

How is the situation at Hangu Pass

It has been snowing at Hangu Pass for the past several days

Today I received a battlefield report

That the various countries's army only contains Han, Zhao, and Wei

The three kingdom's troops have arrived at Hangu Pass

Yan has not dispatched troops yet

Chu's two hundred thousand troops were halfway there

But they suddenly said that because they did not have winter clothes

They would not take a step further

Two days ago general Sima took advantage of the snow

To attack Wei's camp and provisions

They burned their provisions

And accidentally captured

Several famous Han crossbow craftsmen

Dawang's words make me remember something

Mengying married into the cold and bitter lands of Yan

Three years have passed

And it is still hard to get correspondence over to Yan

It has been more than half a year since Yan Wang died

How can there be no news

Yes

I am also very concerned about this

Zhang Zi will go to Yan's capital in a few days

He is determined to see Mengying

And bring back news

Gongzi, here is Xianyang's city walls

(Su Qin)

Mr. has come to stay in our inn

Your King of Qin is recruiting talent

I'll stay here for a while

Come inside please

This military officer

I am a scholar from East Zhou, Su Qin

I have an important letter that I must deliver to your King in person

Then rely on yourself

Just saying you want to meet Dawang, you can meet Dawang

How can our Dawang have so much free time

I am foolish

I still hope this military officer will be generous and enlighten me

You are a scholar

Scholars who see Dawang have to submit an essay on current affairs that gives advice

If your essay has insight

You do not have to worry, Dawang will summon you

Really

Dawang loves talent

Let's see whether you are really a talented person

Many thanks

Ji-er look, what is this

Ji-er look

Aunt, Wei Furen came

What happened

We have an infrequent visitor

Who

Pixiang hall's Wei Furen

Ask her to come in

Yes

Ji-er

Ji-er

Ji-er, Ji-er

Be obedient

Greeting Wei Furen

Meimei is too polite, quickly sit

This small gongzi has red lips and a doughy face

Really attractive

You look

You see, this child is not shy of strangers at all

Small children have the cleanest hearts

Yes Yes Yes

Small children have the cleanest hearts

He should take a nap

Take gongzi out

Yes

Let's go

A few days ago,

Meimei sent plum blossoms to each palace

This symbol of spring is a good omen

Jiejie has not returned the favor

So I brought some things for Bazi

Just a while ago, Hua-er hunted several snow foxes

And had them made into a fur coat

I had people quickly make it

And send it to me

Meimei and I are about the same stature

Meimei quickly try it on

To see if it fits

Wei Furen is polite

Such a precious gift

How can I bear to take it

I have come to specifically express thanks to Meimei

If it weren't for Meimei's intelligence last time

In clarifying the facts in that Heshi jade case

Jiejie would have misunderstood Wanghou

And hurt the harmony between us sisters in the harem

I only want to repay you

But I reckon that this thing is hard to accept

Therefore

Jiejie quickly get up

Jiejie's words are too serious

Meimei

You still hold a grudge against Jiejie

If Wei Furen is sincere

Then I can accept these words of thanks

But this fur coat

I still ask Wei Furen to please take it back

This

Meimei, as a matter of fact, this is not something that people can easily refuse

Furen just said

This fur coat is Hua gongzi's

Kind intention towards Furen

How would I dare to easily snatch this

Hua gongzi is filial

It is Wei Furen's blessing

I am also looking forward that someday Ji-er

Can grow up

And be like Hua gongzi

To achieve and accomplish goals and gain a fiefdom

I will not ask for anything else

I have the same way of thinking as Meimei

Unfortunately, others have deeply misunderstood me

Meimei, you see to forgive and forget

And not hold on to grudges

Jiejie hopes to develop a deep friendship with Meimei

According to my temper

She would have been thrown out

She almost harmed both you and seal Ran's life

To take out one piece of fox fur now

She wants to forget the past

How can it be so easy

Perhaps Wei Furen

Wants to repent and turn over a new leaf

Perhaps there are people like that outside the palace

But inside the harem there are none

Luckily you declined her item of clothing

Otherwise, I would have really had to set fire to it

Mentioning something that is hard to refuse

Back then, your mother also put on an item like that

Weihou sent that brocade gown

To create a life that was worse than death

Otherwise

Bazi

Aunt, why are you so unhappy

There are no happy matters

Who says that there are none now

What do you mean

Dawang let me tell Bazi

That in a few days

Wei Ran will follow general Sima back

Furthermore, he will stay in Xianyang for two days

Dang asked him to return from Hangu pass

To enter the palace to visit Bazi

To let you siblings reunite

Aunt, small Ran is returning

Yes, small Ran is returning

Little bird fly, little bird fly

Little bird fly

Want it, want it

Mu Xin said in a few days

Several days have passed

Why has small Ran not come back yet

Even though small Ran returned to Xianyang

He still has to follow general Sima Cuo and attend to military affairs

When he has free time he will see us

Small Ran was a big child

To not cry on the battlefield is pretty good

To return and be busy with military affairs

It's no wonder that I sneezed the whole way back

It turns out that some people are in the middle of saying some unpleasant words about me

You do not recognize me

Small Ran

Small Ran

Small Ran, look how you look

You have already become taller than me

Small Ran has become an adult in the blink of an eye

Small Ran

Aunt, I returned

Small Ran

Small Ran

Jiejie

Small Ran

Jiejie

Small Ran missed Jiejie

Jiejie also missed small Ran

You have already become an adult

Small Ran

Look, who is this

This is

Ji-er quick, greet uncle

Ji-er, Ji-er

I am an uncle

I'm an uncle

Come, Ji-er, Ji-er

Jiejie, do you not think

That Ji-er looks like me when I was a child

Exactly, everyone says that he looks like you

But Ji-er absolutely must not really be like me

Since childhood I

Gave Jiejie and Aunt

So much trouble

And stirred up so much disaster

Small Ran, let Jiejie have a good look at you

Tell Jiejie

Where you injured during war

I know you suffered a lot of hardships

And are not willing to say it

You are really living on the knife's edge everyday

Jiejie wanted me to do this

To rush headfirst across the battlefield and become a man

Small Ran has never lost face for Jiejie

This time with General Sima

We attacked Wei's army provisions and camp

Small Ran has gained military merit again

How is the war at Hangu Pass

The various countries's armies have all assembled outside of Hangu pass

Fortunately, with Chu Lizi

120,000 reinforcement troops arrived at Hangu Pass

Then this battle will have many good strikes

Oh right

What are you looking for

My package

Here it is

Good, Come

I want to hand over these things to Jiejie

These are all the rewards that I received for my military achievements

Some gold

And farmland

However, it is only ten acres

I hope Jiejie will not look down on it

I also obtained these two pieces of jade on the battlefield

These will be my gift to Ji-er

Small Ran

It has not been easy to carry all of these things around

I originally was going to entrust it to someone there

But now that I finally was able to see Jiejie

I brought it all over

Silly child

Jiejie has everything here

I know

But these are all what I used my life

To earn for Jiejie

Later, I will earn more

To give Jiejie and Aunt

And also Ji-er

Alright, then Jiejie will put it away for you first

And add to it a little

To wait until you get married in the future

Jiejie

Hui-er, bring the clothes

Yes

Aunt and Jiejie made you several new clothes

You are marching out to fight

Do not catch a cold

Look, it's so warm

Jiejie gave you things several years ago

Did you properly put them away

Jijie is referring to Sun Zi's Art of War

Exactly

Do not worry

I have always sewed inside my clothes to keep in close to my chest

When I have free time I will take it out and look it over

It is really my teacher

I often ask it for guidance

Of course It has great wisdom

You will receive lots of benefits form it

I understand

Come, try them on

Alright, I will try them on

Why are you not playing

I have not played in a long time

I have forgotten the melody

It has such a somber sound

Very sad

The panpipes's heart is empty

Mi Yue's heart is also empty

They suit each other

Is it because your brother, small Ran, left

General Sima told me

That Wei Ran is gifted with creativity and agility

In time

He will be a talented person who will be able to lead the troops

Many thanks Dawang for your praise

Dawang is troubled everyday with state affairs

But Mi Yue spends the whole day eating with nothing to do

I do have one matter on my mind

Perhaps Mi Yue can think of a solution for me

Do you still remember you Quartet Museum

Those eloquent scholars every day

Write many policies

The outstanding ones are sent to the palace

But with the war at Hangu Pass

It is a military emergency

These policies all sit here collecting dust

If you can take my place

And examine these policies and sort them

Moreover, these policies have many different philosophies

A wide variety of theories that attack each other

This will allow you to increase your knowledge

And allow you to distinguish between confusing words

Really

When have I deceived you

Mi Yue thanks uncle

Why must you thank uncle

Zhou had Tai Ren to teach Wen Wang

It can be said that she was a very good woman

Yi Jiang also assisted Wu Wang

She could be described as a virtuous women

Yue-er is untalented and wants to imitate them

In order to share husband's burdens

And also to help Ji-er gain knowledge in the future

Since you like it

Then it is settled

Then, now

Then now

I would like to play a song for Dawang again

Good

Begin

This scroll is ready, take it and hang it up

Yes

This suggest using the sun as a method of power

This is Gusu Tang Ji's policy

He belongs to the Mohists school

Take it and leave it open

Yes

Captain

Why is it you again

May I ask if Dawang has recently looked at my policy

I say, are you, this person, who thinks they are a government official insane

You come to ask everyday

Dawang has been busy recently with military affairs

How would he have time to look at your policy

If Dawang reads your policy and recognizes your worth

Someone will be sent to look for you

Is there any use for you to run to this palace gate

No, no, no I do not want to be an official

I really have a pressing matter

I will have to trouble captain to announce me

Forget it, how long will it take for this policy to be seen

I am anxious to complete this matter

People have come for half a year and not heard anything

It is not quick

I already told you to leave this palace gate

Go, go, go

Captain, I really have a pressing matter

Could I trouble you to inform someone

I am Su Qin

Family name Su, Name Qin, I am from Eastern Zhou

This time I

Pesky, quickly leave

How can you spit obscenities

How can I spit obscenities

What did I say

Get out of here

Bazi, it's getting late

There is no hurry

We can come back tomorrow

No, let me finish reading this scroll

Today, Gongzi has been making a lot of noise looking for you

Surely Aunt Kui is trying to calm him down now

I want to finish reading this scroll

This scroll has remarks on the Mohist school contradicting the Confusion School

It is particularly brilliant

In a while, Dawang will return to the palace

Alright, let's go

Yes

Aunt, I came back

You came back

Where is Ji-er

Ji-er has been crying for you

The wet nurse managed to get him to go back to sleep

I can not help it

I go to Cheng Ming hall everyday to read those policies

In fact, I also read them for Ji-er

So that I can be capable and assist Ji-er in the future

In managing a fief

And learn how to enlarge a territory

To accomplish goals

Wait until Ji-er grows up

He will understand his mother's painstaking efforts

Just now, Furen spoke of reading policies

It makes me remember the matter Mu Xin spoke of today

What happened

Mu Xin left the palace to handle matters and when he came back

He saw a person with the surname Su from Eastern Zhou

Who angered the gate keeper

He probably submitted a policy to Dawang

So he probably ran to the palace gate

To ask if Dawang looked at his policy

He has actually been taunting guards

It is very funny

Does he think that Dawang has free time

And, in this world, only he

Wrote a policy

You do not make fun of people

He may be a talented person

Like Wei's Wu Qi

If the monarch never valued him

He would angrily invest in other countries

Did Bazi not just agree to help Dawang look at policies

Then take a look to see if his says anything

To see what made him so anxious

On Dang-er's 100 days

Mi Yue sent him a golden lock

Next month, Ji-er will be 2 years old

Send him this piece of jade

It should be acceptable

This jade is from when Wanghou got married

Weihou gave this to you as dowry

Why give it to Mi Yue

Shut up

If you say this kind of thing again

This Jiaofeng hall will not keep you

It was Mi Yue who clarified it to Dawang

Who saved our lives

Everyone should be grateful

Mentioning Mi Yue in front of outsiders

It is even more important to be respectful

Wanghou

Ever since that fake Heshi jade hurt Mi Yue

Wanghou has also suffered and been implicated

Though Wanghou is also innocent

Dawang is still very cold towards Wanghou

He has only come a few times in 1 month

If that

He also only says a few words over 1 cup of tea

And then quickly goes to the West chamber

Right now Dawang's eyes only have Mi Yue

If it continues

We will not have a foot to stand on in this harem

Wanghou

Nubi also can not stand it

Wanghou conferred Mi Yue a gold hairpin today

Tomorrow you will give her a piece of jade

But, did Mi Yue

Ever thank Wanghou

In the past few days she has also not come to pay respects

She said that Dawang let her go to Cheng Ming hall

To go read policies

What kind of place is Chengming hall

Wanghou can not enter as she wishes

How can Mi Yue enter the private study

Wanghou, nubi is thinking on your behalf

I feel aggrieved and unworthy

People who do not make long term considerations will certainly have concerns in the near future

This struggle is only temporary

How can the future days be like this

These days I will take back control of the harem

And carefully plan

I am Chu's eldest Princess

After marrying into Qin

I am not as clever in everything as Mi Yue

Mi Yue can, I can not

So, I can not blame anyone else for these hardships

You all get up

I know your thoughts

But you do not understand my thoughts

Do not worry about this hairpin or jade

All are worldly possessions

You say, what is the current season

Winter has passed

It is Spring

In Winter, all things live in seclusion to rest

Now that it is Spring

The eyes are bright

There are opportunities everywhere

Dawang, Wanghou wants to see you

Let her come

Yes

Dawang

Does Wanghou have a matter

I heard that the war at Hangu Pass is tight

Dawang is strategizing day and night

And has overworked your mind

I am very uneasy

I do not know how I can share Dawang's concerns

The harem has a multitude of things

Wanghou already works hard enough

Wanghou does not need to be distracted by these things

Whether these things distract me

I have my own opinions

In the past, my views were lacking

Which caused the harem to be over extended

I heard that policies are piled up mountain high in Cheng Ming Hall

Mi Yue is helping to go through and sort them

It is still inadequate

I am slow witted and hope to imitate a horse and work hard

Wanghou's meaning is

Dawang treasures talented and outstanding women

As Dawang's wife

And the harem's owner

I should not disgrace the troops and study policies

To improve my knowledge

Shu-er hopes Dwang will help me accomplish this

Wanghou is diligent and eager to learn, of course I will help

The more man power, the more strength

You and Mi Yue will read the policies together

And will be able to learn from each other

To assist each other and become strong

Thank you Dawang

Wanghou

Please

Zhenzhu

Give me

Meimei, this policy is one big pile

The book of Songs teaches regulations

But it talks about a pile

To peacefully be content go back to one's native place and be content poverty and strive for virtue

This scholar said he is a Confucian scholar

I can see the he actually seems like a Taoist

There are several schools of Confucianism

I think this scholar

Is a confusion scholar of the Yan clan

Yan Confucianism

Put it up

Heaven and earth to make all things natural law

However, even he had no choice

It has been more than two shichen

I am also a little tired

Zhenzhu

You go and make us sisters a pot of tea

Yes

If Jiejie is tired then take a short break

Although these policies are new and interesting

But sorting them is tiring

There is no rush

Then I will take a rest

Father

What happened

Eldest Princess is in trouble
