=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 12)

Even if I have an affair, it's not with him.

Someone has promised me

that he'll marry me

if I can't find a husband.

Who made you that promise?

I think you know.

You're flirting with me.

You've been flirting with me.

For what reason?

I...

I was not flirting with you.

Jinyan.

Why are you staring at me?

This is the last time I'm asking you.

Think carefully before you answer me.

Who on earth are you? Where are you from?

Why are you here?

What's your relationship with Prince Jin?

Why are you asking these again?

I already answered you.

I'll go to the Garden Service Division tomorrow.

I hope you won't deceive me.

Why are you asking these?

Is it possible he knew who I am?

You know the answer.

Don't follow me unless you've decided how to answer me.

Your Majesty, let me pay my respect.

The maidservant from the Wen family

is really capable.

I should've been stricter with her.

Then she couldn't have made you fall sick.

She made big trouble several times,

but she's still alive.

Princess Consort,

tell me.

Is it because you're her master

or she's really resourceful?

I...

I don't know why she became like that.

I heard the two of you grew up together.

You must know each other well.

Jiang Dezhong hasn't taken her back

after such a long time.

I guess they failed to find her

now that she's clever.

You're in charge of the harem

and you know her well.

It must be a cinch...

...to catch her, right?

I won't let you down.

You're smart.

Go ahead.

Got it.

Hongling,

take some guys to this exit and wait for her there.

Eunuch Jiang had the forest searched

for a long time last night,

but still failed to find her.

She's hiding somewhere.

She'll show up.

I don't have the heart to see her be caught.

You do it alone.

Got it.

Don't tell him.

Tell him.

Don't.

Tell him.

Don't.

Tell him.

Don't.

Tell him.

Don't.

What do you want to tell him?

Tell him that I'm Wen Sujin

and I was supposed to marry Prince Yu

and stay in Chengrui Pavilion?

Or that I'm here to prevent my sister dying a tragic death

because all my dreams are coming true?

As for Prince Jin,

of course

I know him well

because he's my little master.

I can't say any of those words,

but I don't want to lie to you either.

I'll go to the Garden Service Division tomorrow.

I hope

you won't deceive me.

Tell him.

Don't.

Tell him.

Don't.

Wake up.

He's a royal guard.

Stop thinking about telling him the truth.

I'm Jinyan.

I'm Jinyan.

I'm a maidservant of the Wen family.

I'm a maidservant of Princess Consort.

You jerk.

You want to die, right?

Godfather, please.

Please save her.

I caused the trouble alone.

Do something to save her.

I can't.

(Plum Garden)

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

Prince Jin has gone to Yongning Pavilion with an imperial doctor

in the name of taking care of Princess Dowager.

Everyone is gossiping about it.

You'd better go to see Princess Dowager.

All he knows is to pretend to be a dutiful son.

The voices of many people

confuse right and wrong.

Your Highness,

please go to Yongning Pavilion ASAP.

Godfather,

I promise I'll listen to you in the future.

I'll take care of you

and attend upon your funeral.

I'll win glory for you.

But this time,

I'm begging you.

Please save Miss Jinyan.

Funeral? I'm not dying.

Who's making noise there?

Your Highness.

Guard Zhong,

please save Jinyan.

Please.

How dare you?

You deserve punishment for bothering Prince Yu.

Everything is my fault.

It has nothing to do with Jinyan.

I know you care about her.

Please save her.

You...

Li Chaohai.

Xiaoxizi.

Go ahead.

Finish your words.

Aunt Wanqing made things difficult for Jinyan.

I...

I wanted to help her take revenge.

So I pulled everything

in that vegetable plot,

but I didn't expect

that plot is for rare vegetables.

Do you mean

all that was caused by you?

I...

I'm not afraid of death,

but I can't let Jinyan suffer wrong.

Was it all your idea?

Or someone else put you up to it?

I was so muddleheaded as to do that.

Jinyan is a good girl.

She asked me to escape after it was found out.

I can't be ungrateful.

I can't let her die because of me.

Who said you'll die?

I made such a big mistake.

Won't you kill me?

Your Highness, we caught her.

Your Highness, please have a rest.

I'll report it for you.

Let's go.

It's just a vegetable plot.

You'll get light punishment.

Tell the Garden Service Division about my order.

Your Highness,

it's all ears and eyes of Princess Dowager there.

You should punish the culprit severely

to comfort her.

Are you telling me what to do?

Express your gratitude.

Thank you, Your Highness.

However,

everyone wants to be worldly-wise and play safe.

As a eunuch,

why do you have the guts

to intercede for someone else?

I know Guard Zhong

cares about Miss Jinyan.

As a servant, of course I...

I'd better be sensible.

Guard Zhong, I didn't expect

you're so influential.

With a full forehead,

Miss Jinyan has good luck.

Many people helped her.

Besides Guard Zhong,

Prince Jin also went to the Garden Service Division

to see her.

I even saw Jinyan and...

Prince Jin?

Why did he go there?

Nothing.

I'm a big-mouth.

I said it wrong.

Now that you know what you're like,

why are you still talking nonsense?

Slap yourself 20 times.

Got it.

Your Highness, can I...

(Yongning Pavilion)

Eunuch Jiang.

Princess Consort has got a headache because she worked so hard last night,

so she can't come here personally to report it.

That girl has been imprisoned in the woodshed of Yongning Pavilion.

Please tell Princess Dowager to punish her.

Princess Consort is trustworthy.

I'll get the rest done.

If there is nothing else,

I'm going back.

Mother, take some medicine.

Prince Yu arrives!

Are you used to exceeding your authority?

You're even trying to be a doctor.

Yu,

so many days have passed, but our mother hasn't recovered.

Don't you feel guilty?

Of course I do.

I've sent guys to rush to the Western Regions

without halting to rest.

They'll take back some seeds ASAP.

Alright.

Stop making noise in the early morning.

Yu,

I hope I can stay here

to take care of our mother.

Do you think my consorts can't do that

and you even have to do it yourself?

Your Majesty,

the culprit in destroying the rare vegetables has been caught.

It's a maidservant from the Garden Service Division.

She's a habitual troublemaker.

We planned to report it to you

after you feel better,

but she wouldn't give up

and made bigger trouble.

How about

I get rid of her directly

without questioning her?

Now that she's a troublemaker,

do as you say.

No way.

Mother,

as for the vegetable plot, I can explain.

The other day, I got mad at Yu

and wanted to defeat him

so that the young duke made trouble.

I've punished him.

You haven't recovered.

I hope you can have a rest-cure.

Princess Consort and I are old friends.

Jin'er...

I mean Jinyan.

I've known her since her childhood.

She's not evil-minded.

It's just she's a little stupid.

Yu,

is she also your old friend?

Zhong Li wants to save her.

He begged me to plead with you

and I don't have the heart to refuse him.

Really?

I did beg Prince Yu to plead with you.

She's just a maidservant,

but both of you interceded for her.

It seems

she's as influential as the Wen family in those days.

Fine.

We just lost some wild herbs.

Now that both of you said so,

I'll definitely agree.

Thank you, Mother.

Your Majesty, you can't do that.

Your Majesty,

if you forgive her easily,

there will be endless trouble

once everyone imitates her example.

Stop it.

Jiang Dezhong's words make sense.

I can spare her,

but many people are looking on,

so I have to punish her no matter what.

Mother,

you can let her kneel for three days

at the Garden Service Division

to teach her a lesson.

Zhong Li,

is it okay

to punish her like that?

You won't beg Prince Yu to plead with me

once you get out of this place, will you?

I don't dare to.

Alright.

Now that you care about her,

I'll leave it to you.

Got it.

(Logistic Hall)

The rivers are clear and the seas are calm.

The whole world is at peace.

The country is prosperous and people live peacefully.

Chief maids here are all assholes.

He interceded for me again.

Alright. Stand up.

You've knelt for three days.

Be responsible for yourself.

Wait.

I remember

you always stay with Guard Zhong.

Can you take a message?

What message?

Why are you here?

Each time I did something wrong,

you helped me and got me out of trouble.

I really appreciate what you did.

As for the questions you asked me last time,

I know how to answer.

There is something I can't tell you,

but I don't have any other identity.

I got to know Prince Jin when I was a kid.

It's not worth mentioning.

You're sarcastic

and short-tempered

and you're no match for Prince Jin,

but you don't need to feel inferior

or take these things to heart.

Prince Jin and you

are completely different.

No match for Prince Jin?

Ignorant.

Did I say anything wrong?

Sarcastic and short-tempered?

And no match for Xiao Qi?

Your Highness,

calm down.

I can't. I just can't.

She and Xiao Qi won't stop

unless they drive me crazy.

You've been showing no interest in anything,

but you really care about this maidservant.

We used to be good friends.

Of course I won't forget her.

If you hadn't married Princess Consort under orders,

she must've come to my mansion.

You're concerned about people all over the country.

Why do you constantly think of my consorts?

Besides coveting my princess consort,

you even won't let her maidservant go.

You made a big fuss several times

just for a maidservant's sake.

I'm concerned about the masses

because everyone is equal in my mind.

I'd save her no matter she's a maidservant

or a member of the imperial house.

As a maidservant,

she made you so unhappy.

How about giving her to me?

I'll let her be my concubine

who can read, drink and sleep with me.

Then you won't be offended

and I'll have a chance

to enjoy my life.

In your dreams!

You're famous for loyalty and filial piety.

How about fasting for seven days in Muchen Temple

to pray for our mother?

You can also take the chance to control your desires

and stop indulging in vain hopes.

(Yongning Pavilion)

He likes daydreaming and she can't tell her ass from her elbow.

They're a perfect match.

Your Highness,

each time you mentioned that girl,

you lost control of your emotions.

I'm worried about you.

Your Highness...

I see.

You can leave.

Got it.

I'll take my leave.

Suyu!

Why am I dreaming again?

The dream suddenly appeared and disappeared.

It's been bothering me.

How come is it like this?

No way.

I have to tell Suyu about it.

But she won't be quite convinced.

And it may cause some misgivings.

Forget about it. Let me figure it out myself.

Flower Show?

Lucky draw?

Is it the coming Swing Feast?

Your Highness,

Yongning Pavilion...

I'm also worried about her,

but staying in Prince Yu's Mansion,

I have no command over myself.

Have a cup of tea.

Your Highness,

she's safe and sound.

Totally unharmed.

She's alright?

Of course.

Prince Yu and Prince Jin interceded for her,

so Princess Dowager just asked her

to kneel for three days.

She's lucky.

Someone always helps her out when she's in trouble.

She is lucky,

but someone else has to suffer because of her.

Prince Jin will stay in the Muchen Temple for some time as a punishment.

If he can't come back before the Swing Feast,

you'll be left alone and helpless by then.

The Swing Feast?

It's an annual event.

How could I become helpless?

Who'll be responsible for

this event?

Your Highness, there is something you don't know.

Consort Wen likes wine

and she has an in.

Prince Yu has awarded a wine cellar to her.

Owing to this,

Consort Wen is responsible for all feasts, big or small.

As Princess Consort,

you should have the final say as for everything in the harem.

So, the Swing Feast...

If Prince Jin can be back in time,

you'll get more support.

Forget about it.

Don't think too much.

I just hope everything goes well with Prince Jin.

Your Highness,

it's unfair to punish you like this.

It's okay.

It's not bad to chant scriptures in the temple.

Don't cause delay in work because of this.

I asked you to send some stuff to Jin'er.

Is it arranged?

Trust me.

She must've received it at this moment.

Miss Jinyan.

Xiaoxizi.

What is it?

It's osmanthus-flavored candy from Qi Bao Zhai Store.

Share with me now that I see it.

No way.

It's even not enough for me.

Then why do you want to see me?

Nothing.

It's just I'm bored.

Oh.

I heard the Feihua game

during the Swing Feast is most interesting.

I wonder when it'll be held.

Before the hunting.

The winner of the game

will have a chance to go hunting with Prince Yu after the feast.

Feihua game.

No way.

I have to prevent it happening.

What are you murmuring?

Is the wine for the feast prepared by the Imperial Winery?

Consort Wen makes better wine

than the Imperial Winery,

so she's responsible for all things about the feast.

It means

Consort Wen will provide wine for the Swing Feast, right?

Of course.

Here you are.

Can I have more?

Yes. Sure.

Now that you eat my candy,

you have to do me a favor.

Take it back.

Don't be nervous.

It's nothing serious.

It's as easy as winking.

Give me a second.

The wine is made by me.

Please take it to Consort Wen.

No. I won't.

Please.

Fine.

Put in a good word for me

when you see Guard Zhong.

I hope I can be transferred back to the palace.

Alright. Got it.

Remember.

Make sure they receive it.

Your Highness,

a eunuch wants to see you.

He said he has a bottle of wine for you.

Wine?

Which eunuch?

Does he think the wine I made is inferior to his?

Okay.

Let's go have a look.

Is it done?

Does Consort Wen want to see me?

I slapped myself the other day.

Today I was slapped ten times.

My lady,

could you please give me a break?

Why did they slap you?

It's all your fault.

You asked me to send wine to Consort Wen.

It's like teaching fish to swim.

Of course she feels humiliated.

How pitiful I am.

I'm sorry.

Your...

Is your face okay?

Shall I get you some unguent?

No!

Now that she doesn't like my wine,

what else can I do

so that I can be transferred to her place?

How ignorant he is.

He even dared to send wine to you.

Your Highness,

let me pour it.

You're awe-inspiring.

It seems you're throwing weight around.

Wait.

It smells good.

Let me have a taste.

Good wine!

If we didn't need to strike an attitude,

that eunuch couldn't have been punished.

Prince Jin made the whole temple heavily guarded.

They said no pilgrim can go up the mountain

because the temple needs to be repaired.

Shall we do something?

Princess Dowager hasn't recovered.

Xiao Qi praying for her

has raised subtle criticism.

We'd better not create disputes at this moment.

The Muchen Temple has something to do with the testament.

I think it's better to think it over.

Why is that crazy guy here again?

What?

I didn't mean you.

Guard Zhong.
