[The Blooms at RUYI Pavilion]

[Episode 27]

This is absurd.

How is this absurd?

This coloured glaze is cheaper compared to others,

but not everyone can afford it.

How can it be the Seven Colour Sparkler that I want?

I got it.

I will search for it again.

Sorry for disturbing you, master.

You did disturb me.

Normally,

at this hour,

I should be taking a stroll in the mountain.

You wasted quite a lot of my time.

I know. Thank you, Master Xu.

[Are these for grinding pigments?]

[What tedious work.]

Looks like it's going to rain.

Master Xu.

Did he go out?

[The door is locked.]

[There's no cover here.]

[There are so many trays left.]

[I won't be able to make it in time.]

Your Highness?

What are you doing here?

It's going to rain.

Master Xu is drying some dye ingredients in his yard.

I wanted to use these lotus leaves to cover them.

Are these enough?

Enough.

Let's take shelter.

Okay. This should be fine.

Your Highness, when did you come back?

I just got back.

How did you know I'm here?

Did you go to Ruyi Pavilion as soon as you got to the capital?

Lan Xiang said you came to Mount Xinglin alone.

The sky was getting dark.

I worried it might rain,

so I came to find you.

Did you come without an umbrella?

-I did. -Where is it?

I met an old man on my way here,

so I gave it to him.

Did you take care of the issue in Kushui Village?

We made some progress.

I'll report to Father in the capital.

So, you mean

you're leaving soon.

Are you really busy

or

are you afraid of letting me know that the Emperor told you to divorce me?

I know you don't want to make me worry,

but the more you hide, the more worried

and paranoid I am. What if we have a misunderstanding?

So, in the future,

don't hide anything. We should solve problems together.

How I wish

I could spend more time with you.

How I wish

time could freeze at this moment.

This rain

stopped really soon.

Master Xu.

You are...

It's you, young man.

So you're Master Xu.

So Master Xu is the old man you mentioned?

He is your...

He's my husband.

Did both of you move them for me?

And covered them for me?

It was the wind.

You...

Seriously,

you left without taking care of them.

What if they were soaked in the rain?

That's why I moved them inside.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

I found the Seven Colour Sparkler.

How is this possible?

How can I

embed the rainbow in jewellery?

The Seven Colour Sparkler you asked me to find

is for jewellery?

It's going to look amazing.

Forget it.

Your husband lent me his umbrella,

you also covered my plants.

Then I shall

teach you a technique.

It's called filigree inlay.

My lady,

it's already late.

Besides, you caught a cold yesterday.

You should go back and take a rest.

I'll finish it soon.

Go and rest first.

Yes, my lady.

Your Highness.

Boil these herbs.

Remind her to drink it on time.

Yes.

[Official Document of the Royal Armoury]

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Who's there?

When did you get here?

Not long ago.

I just drew this. Do you want to see?

How is it?

It is charming and secure.

-Congratulations, my lady. -Really?

It's simple and elegant.

My lady,

this hairpin is beautiful,

especially the clip,

it can hold the hair firmly.

Besides, after taking it off,

it won't stick to the hair like it tends to.

I guess this is the magic of filigree inlay.

What if I name it

Suhua Hairpin?

Regarding the matter I told you last time,

what's your decision?

Father,

I

have never thought of it.

-You're a fool! -Duke Su, please forgive me!

What did you do?

-Get out of here. -Yes.

Your Highness,

your clothes and shoes are wet.

You should get changed soon.

I'm tired.

Go talk to your mother.

I will.

Didn't Ji Qing Ting say he'd figure it out?

But why doesn't the sales increase,

instead, there's such a big drop?

Your Highness, please don't be fired up.

I've looked into it.

Ruyi Pavilion does offer some cheap jewellery

and they sell well.

It seems that Ji Qing Ting

is no match for Fu Rong.

Then why should I keep him?

Your Highness, please calm down.

Ji Qing Ting has been running Feng Lai Yi for many years,

he's experienced in this.

If you dismiss him at this time,

out of desperation,

he might turn to Ruyi Pavilion.

I'm afraid Wu Bai Qi has bought him off

and he's been colluding with Ruyi Pavilion.

I have an idea.

In this way, Ruyi Pavilion won't be in your way any more.

Tell me.

[Duke Su's Residence]

Your Highness, why are you staring at your shoes?

When I was in the palace yesterday,

my clothes and shoes got wet by accident.

Zhi Hui took me to change my shoes.

She didn't know my shoe size,

so she let me try on different sizes.

She said, these shoes

were made by mother herself.

Mother made so many pairs of shoes.

Are those for Duke Huai?

Every lining of those shoes are made with leather.

They have thick soles.

Are those for someone with a cold feet problem?

So all these years,

Mother worries about your cold feet problem,

that's why she's been making shoes for you every year?

Although you were never by her side,

she still cares about you.

But you were faraway,

she can only guess your shoe size.

So she made them one by one.

Now I know.

Zhi Hui told me,

Mother always gets sore wrists.

It must be the needlework.

Since when did you get so close with Zhi Hui?

Well, I'm popular.

Keep them properly for me.

Just put them on!

Keep them.

Safflower cream.

Promotes blood circulation and heal bruises?

But I don't have these problems.

Is it for Mother?

[Guang Yang Palace]

Greetings to you, Mother.

I wish you happiness and peace.

You look radiant.

I am happy when I see you,

that's why I look radiant.

Rong'er,

come sit here with me.

Yes.

Come.

I heard that Ruyi Pavilion is selling jewellery in the market

and they are well-received.

So you heard about it.

This is a good thing.

It is natural

for good things to spread.

Mother, do you not mind the fact that I expose myself in the public

and run business?

I don't mind.

Do you still remember

Sunny Bright which you gifted me

when we first met?

I remember.

Back then, you said,

it's easy to please the nobility,

but it's hard to please the people.

And now,

you manage to please the people.

What do I have to worry about?

Thank you, Mother.

How is Jin'er doing?

Yesterday he got drenched.

Did he catch a cold?

He is doing fine,

but he's busy today,

so he couldn't come here with me.

He learned that you have sore wrists,

so he told me to bring this.

Isn't that considerate, Your Highness?

Let me apply it for you.

Sure.

What happened here?

It's nothing.

I accidentally cut myself.

Concubine Rong,

Her Highness noticed

that Duke Su didn't seem to like her boots,

so she started making shoes again.

Last night, she worked through the night

and pricked her finger.

Zhi Hui.

When those shoes are completed,

don't just keep them in Guang Yang Palace.

That's such a waste.

You should give them to their intended owner.

It wasn't easy for him to come back.

[Mother gifted these in return.]

What's the matter?

Are you in a good mood today?

Your Majesty,

Jin'er knows that I'm not feeling well,

so he told Concubine Rong

to bring me safflower cream.

Jin'er is a good son.

Despite being a little stubborn,

he is a good child indeed.

You're right.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, Attendant Chen would like to see you.

Attendant Chen?

The Emperor is here,

let her wait for a while.

Ask her to come in.

Greetings to Your Majesty and Consort Shu.

Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

What brings you here, Attendant Chen?

Your Royal Highness,

to comply with the Empress’s will,

the Wardrobe Service Department has always been frugal

and never splurged.

In order to save manpower and materials back then,

we engaged private jewellery houses

to make some of the jewellery in the palace.

That's right.

Any problem with it?

But,

since Ruyi Pavilion

accidentally offended you last time,

our department dare not engage other private jewellery houses.

We could barely stay afloat.

New season is approaching soon,

it's time to make new jewellery.

So...

Hold on.

How did Ruyi Pavilion offend you?

Your Majesty,

it was just a misunderstanding.

Just follow our original plan.

Yes.

It's just that

the private jewellery houses vary in quality.

I'm wondering

if we should select one of them

to design jewellery for the Wardrobe Service.

After all, you're all blue-blood.

I'm sure there'll be no more misconduct.

You're right.

We should select a suitable jewellery house.

Consort Shu, I'll leave it to you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Go ahead.

Yes.

-Attendant Chen, what brings you here? -Mr Ji,

I'll be frank with you today.

Consort Shu said

between you and Ruyi Pavilion,

only one can stay.

May I know who is the proprietor here?

I am.

I am an attendant from the Wardrobe Service.

Congratulations.

The Emperor has ordered our department to select a jewellery house

to design jewellery for the palace.

Ruyi Pavilion is one of the candidates.

Well...

But Ruyi Pavilion currently

designs jewellery for the commoners.

I'm afraid the nobles won't like them.

It's good to know your own limitations.

I think you can tell the Emperor

that Ruyi Pavilion

refuses to take part.

Ms Fu,

with these cheap designs of yours,

you better don't embarrass yourself in the palace.

It will be a laughing stock.

Will Feng Lai Yi join this competition too?

Of course.

-I get it now. -What do you know?

You're jealous of Ruyi Pavilion.

I couldn't care less about Ruyi Pavilion.

You can only fool the commoners.

When it comes to craftsmanship,

it is extremely terrible.

Whether or not our craftsmanship is terrible,

you don't have a say in this.

We'll let the nobles decide.

So you agreed, Ms Fu?

I will report it to my superior.

After ten days,

please bring your work to the palace.

Ten days?

Rong'er,

we don't even know if this competition is a good thing.

How could you agree right away?

Sister,

I hate getting involved with the nobles as well,

but what he said hit a nerve in me.

What did he say?

Look,

the commoners like our work,

but if things continue this way

people will think our jewellery is cheap and crude.

But not if we supply jewellery for the palace as well.

Rong'er,

you're quite thoughtful.

There's something I need to discuss with you.

Please don't be mad.

Is it about the competition?

Have you heard about it?

I join the competition because that was Master's dream,

and I want to uphold our reputation.

But if I'm selected,

I'll put Mother in a tough spot.

Just focus on the competition,

don't worry about it.

I'll be here for you.

Thank you.

Are these your designs for the competition?

Yes, I'm still figuring it out.

I really can't decide.

Why don't you ask Master Xu to teach you again?

Master Xu is highly skilled.

It would be best if he could teach me.

But when he promised to teach me filigree inlay,

it was already a great surprise.

Unless I can find Seven Colour Sparkler,

I don't know how to face him.

Rong'er,

I will leave the capital for a case tomorrow.

You're leaving again?

It won't take long.

Bao Zhu.

Bao Zhu.

Ghost! Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

Don't be scared. It's me.

Little Marquis?

I finally caught someone I know.

Why are you dressed like this in the middle of the night?

Would you believe me if I tell you I can't sleep

and I'm pretending to be invisible?

-No. -That's right.

You won't believe me anyway.

Bao Zhu,

let me ask you.

What's up with Ms Fu Xuan?

I heard she's been staying at Ruyi Pavilion.

What happened?

You see,

Ruyi Pavilion has agreed

to participate in the palace's tendering process.

Within ten days...

No, they have only eight days left now.

They need to design a piece of jewellery.

Although Ms Fu Xuan doesn't know much about designing,

she wants to help Concubine Rong.

So she's having a hard time.

Bao Zhu, don't tell Ms Fu Xuan

that I came here.

Why not?

I want to give her a surprise.

A surprise?

A surprise or a shock?

When is it going to be my turn?

I know, right?

-I've been waiting for so long. -I've waited for hours.

-Me too. -When will we see him?

My legs are sore.

Miss.

You're a hopeless romantic.

Miss, are you here to see Little Marquis?

Please queue up over there.

Queue up?

There's a little marquis inside?

Which little marquis?

Why, the most popular little marquis in the capital, Little Marquis Wu.

I don't know what he is up to today.

Bao Zhu,

let's leave.

Rong'er.

Your Highness.

When did you get here?

Are you hurt?

No.

Look.

What is this?

When I was on duty,

I stumbled upon a mountain.

There's a kind of stone in that mountain

known as Magic Dew Stone.

It has a seven-coloured sheen.

So,

I brought some for you.

Are you sure you just happened to pass by?

Yes.

Fine. I'll trust you.

Tomorrow,

let's go to Mount Xinglin

and ask Master Xu

if this is the Seven Colour Sparkler that he's looking for.

These are just scratches,

but that tiger was fierce,

hence the deep marks.

Your Highness,

remember to avoid contact with water for now.

If there's any discomfort,

remember to inform me.

Mr Ge,

don't tell Rong'er about this.

You found Magic Dew Stone.

This is the Seven Colour Sparkler, isn't it?

No.

Anyway,

although it is not Seven Colour Sparkler,

Magic Dew Stone

can only be found in Qingdian Valley.

But Qingdian Valley

is off the beaten track. Wild beasts lurk in the valley.

It is extremely difficult to go there and get Magic Dew Stone.

How did you do it?

I found it as soon as I got there.

Nonsense.

I went there last month

and I saw tigers from afar.

I got scared and left.

Ms Fu,

I just taught you filigree inlay not long ago.

You can make lots of jewellery with it.

Why would you need a new technique?

To be frank,

the palace is inviting private jewellery houses to work with them.

That includes Ruyi Pavilion.

Not only do you want to sell commoners jewellery,

you want to work with the palace.

You want to have your cake and eat it too.

You are right.

The intention of Ruyi Pavilion

is to create jewellery for all walks of life.

Now we're offering cheaper jewellery

hoping that the commoners get to wear better jewellery.

But as we're promoting economical pieces,

it also creates a status gap between nobles and commoners.

This completely violates the original intention of Ruyi Pavilion

and tarnishes its reputation.

So I'd like to take this chance

to let our clients know

that our jewellery does not distinguish between rich and poor.

It's for everyone, from nobles to commoners.

Young lady, you're quite ambitious.

I've underestimated you.

However,

I can't go back on my word.

Well,

I will give you another clue.

Whether or not you can find it,

that depends on fate.

Ms Fu.

Little Marquis, if you're here to buy jewellery,

you will be attended to downstairs.

You shouldn't come here.

You seem to be in a bad mood today.

-Is it because... -Little Marquis.

If you don't have anything important to say, please leave.

Recently,

I've been inviting all kinds of women to Sifang Pavilion

for a meetup.

Including prostitutes,

girls from humble families,

single ladies,

as well as young and charming married women.

Little Marquis,

what are you trying to say?

I've asked them to lend me

their favourite pieces of jewellery.

I sifted through them

and ended up with these.

Some of them are rare.

Some of them are made with unique materials or craftsmanship.

I can't really tell,

so I asked some people to help me.

And this one.

I asked those ladies

[Jewellery References]

what kind of jewellery they wish they could have,

and wrote them down.

You can use it as a reference.

So,

-this is why you invited them there. -What did you expect?

Do you think I was choosing wives and concubines?

I don't need to choose any more.

Your finger...

It's fine.

Don't worry, Little Marquis.

Were you angry because...

I wasn't angry.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Go ahead and read it.

I'll stay here with you.

[The beauty of the lake is mesmerising]

It's been some time, but we still can't find anything.

Did Master Xu trick us into taking a lake tour?

Then I have to thank Master Xu

for giving me this chance to enjoy a lake tour with you.

Since we're here,

we should enjoy it.

I haven't had a chance

to ask you about this stone.

Are you sure you weren't attacked by any beast?

What kind of beast could beat me?

You're always like this, hiding everything from me.

I'll be more worried if you don't tell me.

Since I've left the valley,

that means I'm fine.

It's just some scratches.

It's not worth mentioning.

Fine.

Next time,

no matter what happens,

I will tell you everything.

Is that all right?

You promised me.

The view here is stunning.

If only I could enjoy

all the beautiful views around the world with you.

I wish I could do this too.

Feeling hungry?

This is delicious!

Between the fish I grilled

and my uncle's fish,

which one tastes better?

This is weird.

This fish tasted fresh a moment ago,

but all of a sudden

it tastes sour.

Try it.

It's the Seven Colour Sparkler Master Xu spoke of!

Are you hurt?

No.

You told me you wouldn't hide anything from me.

It is an old injury.

I'm fine.

Tell me,

was it caused by the beasts in Qingdian Valley?

Don't worry about me.

I'm fine.

You're worthy to be taught.

Since you found it,

I will keep my promise.

The filigree inlay technique I taught you

is the basics.

By using filigree inlay technique and hammering method,

you'll plate the edge of the shell with gold.

This technique is known as

Luodian.

It's finally done.

Rong'er.

This is stunning.

Anyway, I tried my best.

I'll leave the rest to God.

I believe

Ruyi Pavilion will definitely top the other jewellery houses.

You've worked hard these past few days.

By the way,

you have to thank Little Marquis for me.

The stuff he gave was really helpful.

You don't seem nervous at all

by the way you talk.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Ruyi Pavilion.

I guess

things won't always go your way.

Jiuhua House presents

a pair of engraved Ruyi Jade.

Fulong Boutique presents

a pair of gold hairpins with a five-flower and phoenix motif.

Qingyun Pavilion presents

a pair of inlaid gold earrings.

Tianxing Pavilion presents

a locket with gold inlaid gemstone and flame pattern.

Qixia Boutique presents

a pair of dotted green hibiscus hairpins.

Attendant Chen,

is that all?

Consort Duan,

Feng Lai Yi and Ruyi Pavilion

have not presented their pieces yet.

Ask them to come in.

Yes, Your Majesty.

-Your Majesty. -Summoning

-Feng Lai Yi is reputable in the capital. -Feng Lai Yi and Ruyi Pavilion.

I really have no idea

what they will offer.

Feng Lai Yi, present your piece.

This is made with the latest craftsmanship

invented by Feng Lai Yi.

I have never seen such craftsmanship before.

Consort Shu,

this is a combination of filigree inlay

and Luodian techniques.

Not bad.

The craftsmen at Feng Lai Yi are indeed skilled.

Thank you for your compliment, Consort Shu.

As a matter of fact,

Ruyi Pavilion also has a good reputation in the capital.

I wonder what Concubine Rong has to offer.

[This fatty]

[stole my work again.]

Concubine Rong,

it's your turn.

Fu Rong,

since you're here,

why don't you present your work?
