(Episode 13)

Zhong Li. What a coincidence!

Coincidence?

You need a token to leave the Garden Service Division.

When did the Garden Service Division construct a new road,

so you have a chance to encounter me in the palace?

You lent me the gold-jade token the other day.

So it's been easy for me

to enter and leave the places in the mansion.

The guards are really amiable.

How dare you speak of the token you stole?

I didn't steal it. I borrowed it.

Then you must be here to return the gold-jade token.

Give it back.

(Plum Garden)

This is for you.

Zhong Li.

Wait for me.

I don't like sweets.

I didn't have the heart to eat the candy.

I was looking to give you the candy.

Why would you decline it?

Why don't you give it

to your glamorous Prince Jin?

This is Prince Jin...

Why mention Prince Jin again?

I already explained things to you.

Stop being unforgiving.

I'm sorry.

You aren't unforgiving at all.

Don't be mad.

If you think my answer isn't good enough,

I'll get back and come up with a better answer.

Remember the fact that I came a long way

from the Garden Service Division to visit you.

Don't be mad.

Why visit me?

Please help me once more.

I wish to work in Consort Wen's Jinghong Pavilion.

What?

The Garden Service Division got into trouble because of me.

Everyone there alienates me on purpose.

I don't think

I can leave the mansion.

So I plan to find a place to settle down.

I know some ancient wine-making methods.

I hear that Consort Wen

is in charge of the organization

of banquets and feasts.

I think I can make wine

at her place.

Life will be easier for me that way.

What is she plotting this time?

Is this a sticky business for you?

Yeah.

Right.

You are just a guard.

You can't do this for me.

I should try to find a way out myself.

You are really realistic.

Now that you know I can't help you,

you've decided to leave at once.

No.

It's just that I have been frustrated repeatedly.

I'm feeling a little disheartened.

Enough.

Stop looking pitiful.

Since you know ancient wine-making methods,

make a cup of wine for me.

Now?

When else?

But I need to get back and come up with a plan.

Having never tasted your wine,

how do I learn about your capability?

How do I recommend you to Consort Wen?

You can help me?

Really?

Prince Yu has important matters to discuss.

Please

go back.

I can't even give him wine?

When Prince Yu is free,

please ask him a question for me.

Flowers have bloomed early this year.

Shall we hold Swing Feast earlier?

Alright.

This tastes like Sangluo.

No.

Stronger than Sangluo.

It's Fermented Sangluo.

I boiled wine and the fermentation starter

with lotus leaves.

It carries a stronger scent than Sangluo.

My father said

girls must be graceful,

self-controlled

and mustn't drink any wine.

Graceful?

Self-controlled?

You?

Yes, me.

This is the esoteric wine of Wusang,

jokingly known as "nectar",

the heavenly drink of the gods.

No money can buy

this long-lost wine-making method.

Why would Wen's Mansion make such great efforts

to train a mere maid?

Because the Princess Consort liked it.

I observed at her side.

And I memorized the methods over time.

Nice memory.

Nice wine.

You can go back now.

I...

I'll just go back like this?

You don't want to go back?

Do you want to rest here?

No. No. No.

You just promised to recommend me

to Consort Wen.

It just hit me that you were banished to

the Garden Service Division by the Princess Dowager.

No matter how good your wine is,

Consort Wen wouldn't offend the Princess Dowager

for a cup of wine.

You...

Your wine is likable.

But there are countless good wines in the cellar.

You are not indispensable to Consort Wen.

So...

But...

But you told me to make wine

and promised to recommend me.

You were playing with me.

Hopelessly stupid.

Stupid?

Who are you calling stupid?

I'm calling the stupid person stupid.

You...

You...

Give the wine you drank back to me!

I told you I'm feeling ill.

Stop coming here.

It's me.

I'm so thirsty.

I dared not leave.

There's no water in this room.

It was excruciating.

There's no water in the room, but you can fetch water outside.

Are you kidding me?

Where was I supposed to fetch water,

dressed like this?

Only when I had no water,

did I realize how important water was.

You realized the importance of water when you had no water.

When the cellar is full of wine,

I'm inessential.

When the cellar lacks wine,

I'm indispensable.

I see.

That jug of wine was the icing on the cake

and inessential.

But if I provide wine when there's no wine,

I will play a key role.

What are you talking about?

I want water, not wine.

You'll have it.

Have as much water as you want.

(Requesting the court's permission to transfer. Jinyan)

That damn woman haunts me.

Be careful, Prince Yu.

What's going on?

According to our scout's report,

this pack of osmanthus-flavored candy

was sent by Prince Jin

from Qi Bao Zhai Store outside the mansion

to the Garden Service Division.

It was given to you not long after that.

I'm afraid it's a trick.

Xiao Qi sent this?

Prince Jin went to great lengths to send the candy.

I think we should be careful.

Prince Jin is unpredictable.

That woman behaves suspiciously.

Your Highness,

you must guard against them.

I'll get a few jugs of wine.

Don't follow me.

Stop.

The aroma of wine is strong.

This must be the place.

It's her again.

It's you again.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Making wine in the daytime couldn't satisfy you.

So you snuck into this place at night.

What's your intention?

And that pack of candy.

What are you plotting?

How many nasty things have you done with Prince Jin?

What do you mean by "nasty things"?

Cut the nonsense.

You can't stop me from

talking about what you did.

You're saying nonsense.

I have things to do.

I'm gonna go.

Come here.

Why did you sneak into this place?

Let me go.

What do you mean?

We each go our own way.

You can come here. Why can't I come here?

How dare you push me?

Why do you always behave furtively?

If you have any complaints

or reasons, just tell me.

Your caustic remarks

sound harsh to me.

I don't want to hear you talk.

You don't want to hear me talk.

You only want to hear Prince Jin talk.

Yes.

My little master can speak with eloquence

and say nicer things than you.

Of course I'd love to hear him talk.

You're sarcastic

and bad-tempered,

and you're no match for Prince Jin,

but you don't need to feel inferior

or take these things to heart.

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.

You hook up with different men

and lead a dissolute life.

This is a prince's mansion,

not a brothel.

You...

You...

Nothing decent ever comes out of your filthy mouth.

How dare you?

You approached me.

Now you fall out with me.

You really think I'm an oriole

under your control?

You...

You're courting death!

If I die, you die with me.

Go to your Xiao Qi.

Jerk!

Your Highness,

what are you...

I'm worried about Prince Yu's health.

So I made nourishing soup and brought it here.

Prince Yu has retired for the night.

You can give me the food container

and I'll hand it to Prince Yu.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Get out!

Yes.

Come on.

Come on.

You yelled at me.

You insulted me.

You picked on me.

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm a woman with dignity.

Just then...

I...

When I was a child, my little master taught me how to write,

gave me some books,

and became my little teacher.

But now we are members of different classes.

I've never done anything against the rules.

I explained to you.

Whether or not

you believe it

only concerns you.

Why did you insult me like that?

I shouldn't have explained to you.

Why did I explain to you?

Now that I'm thinking about it,

she has never committed

any unforgivable crime as a spy.

If she can change...

Enough.

Stop messing around.

It's unseemly.

Tell me.

Why did you visit the forbidden ground?

Why did you ruin the tribute vegetables?

Why did you come here tonight?

If you tell me the truth,

I promise not to pursue the matter any further.

I...

I'm here to find something.

What is it?

It's none of your business.

Tell me

all about your sinister plot

or I will summon the Palace Guards.

My sinister plot?

You deem that I'm not a good person, right?

Fine.

I will admit

that I'm here to murder Prince Yu!

Alright. Alright.

Your crying has given me a headache.

If you can tell what kind of wine this is,

I will let you off the hook.

It's Jiuyun Spring Wine.

I can't believe it's Jiuyun Spring Wine.

It's top-grade.

Here. Drink some.

Stay away from me.

Have your parents

been treating you badly since you were a child?

You are full of suspicions.

You behave furtively and your background is dubious.

Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?

You shouldn't have done it.

I've treated you so well.

With your dubious background and unknown intention,

you appeared before me several times

and got involved in Prince Jin's affairs repeatedly.

I've let you off several times.

But you never change

and restrain yourself.

Maybe

it's because

I want to see you.

I don't like the prince's mansion.

Glory and wealth,

fame and fortune,

they are boring as hell.

I don't like them either.

Then,

leave with me.

We'll leave together?

You look gorgeous.

Why exactly did you come here tonight?

You enlightened me.

In order to get a job at Consort Wen's pavilion,

I must break the wine jugs in the cellar.

Break all the wine jugs

and I'll be indispensable.

Then

Consort Wen will recruit me to Jinghong Pavilion.

Break the wine jugs in the cellar?

I enlightened you?

Did you really come to the mansion to murder Prince Yu?

Prince Yu?

I don't have time for Prince Yu.

I'm really busy.

Then why did you look for the testament in the forbidden ground?

If I had the testament,

I'd be able to save the Princess Consort.

You know that.

The testament?

Save the Princess Consort?

The Princess Consort.

I dreamed

about the Princess Consort drinking wine

and dying after that.

I also dreamed about you

taking a bath.

I often dreamed about you.

You...

I often dreamed about you.

♪Deep in my dream, you are waiting for me.♪

♪After I am back, I will share my stories with you.♪

You feel more likable when you aren't talking.

♪In the moonlight, we promised to each other.♪

♪And we snuggled up together.♪

♪Waking up from the dream, I found you were guarding me.♪

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Let me do it.

♪We explored the mountains and rivers...♪

Forgive me for my stupidity.

I thought she was just a maid.

I didn't know she was your dearest lady.

I beg your pardon.

Shut up. Don't make careless remarks.

What did you just say?

I beg your pardon.

The sentence before that.

I didn't know she was your dearest lady.

Dearest.

My dearest lady.

I don't care if you are a spy or maid

sent here by the Princess Consort

or Xiao Qi,

you will be mine

and mine only.

Break all the wine jugs

in the cellar.

But Consort Wen treasures those wines.

This is...

To prevent anyone from finding out the truth,

you may let a few cats into the cellar.

But...

(Qinzheng Hall)

Your Highness.

The Begonia Hairpin

is for third-rank and higher-ranking consorts.

Your Highness.

The gemstone on this hairpin is reddish.

Only the second-rank and higher-ranking consorts

can wear this.

If none of them can be used,

why would you prepare them?

Fine.

Send them all to Jinghong Pavilion.

Consider them compensation for Consort Wen.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Something went wrong at Muchen Temple.

Explain.

Prince Jin's servant lost his official seal.

So they locked Muchen Temple to carry out a search.

Search Muchen Temple?

Are they after the testament?

They rummaged through the late Master Yuanhui's properties.

Shanhai even used force on the people

who visited the temple to burn incenses.

Out of grief and indignation,

the abbot jumped into the river to commit suicide.

Muchen Temple is a sacred imperial temple.

The abbot was the national advisor.

How dare Prince Jin show such villainous conduct?

Carry out my order.

Take Prince Jin to the mansion under escort.

He'll wait for his punishment.

Yes.

Prince Yu totally dotes on you.

The fact he has given you so many rewards proves Jinghong Pavilion's good fortune.

Your Highness.

The Princess Dowager sent her servant here

to fetch the wines for Swing Feast.

Give her servant the wines.

No need to come here and tell me.

Your Highness.

Three cats have broken into the cellar.

All the wine jugs have been broken.

The wines have been gone.

What?

Your Highness,

we can visit the Imperial Winery.

Maybe they have wines in stock there.

The wines in the Imperial Winery

can't compare with the wines in my cellar.

Lvyi,

tell the Princess Dowager's servant

that I'll deliver the wines later.

Yes.

Yingge,

where is the person who offered the wines the other day?

Go find that person.

Yes.

Princess Consort,

you have moved into the mansion for a long time.

But I rarely see Prince Yu stay the night at your place.

Prince Yu deals with numerous problems every day.

He's busy with government affairs.

If Prince Yu is busy,

you, as Princess Consort,

should observe more carefully

and share his worries more often.

I'm too incompetent

to earn Prince Yu's favor.

Prince Yu only trusts Consort Wen

when it comes to choosing the organizer of Swing Feast.

Prince Yu has always

favored Consort Wen more.

The thing is,

you need to improve

your relationship with your husband.

If I speak up for you,

I might achieve the opposite of your wish.

Alright.

Don't be jealous.

Consort Wen owns numerous wines, after all.

She is a reliable choice

for the organization of the banquet.

You are right, Your Majesty.

I will keep your words in mind.

However,

I hear that something has gone wrong at the cellar

and all the wine jugs in the cellar have been broken.

Outrageous.

The wines for the banquet are of much importance.

How can Consort Wen be so neglectful?

Servants.

Summon Consort Wen.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. I have bad news.

Guard Zhong led the Palace Guards in arresting Prince Jin.

Even the Ministry of Justice and the Punishment Division have taken action.

What?

Why is Prince Jin being taken to the mansion under escort?

That's imperial business,

not your concern.

Come on.

The national advisor has committed suicide.

The gods have been defied and the Buddha has been offended.

How are the people

going to revere the imperial family now?

Please calm down, Your Highness.

Where is Prince Jin?

Well...

Prince Jin...

Prince Yu,

I've brought my disobedient son

to you.

The Princess Dowager stood in our way

and insisted on personally escorting Prince Jin

to the Qinzheng Hall for the trial.

You disobedient child,

kneel.

Mother.

What's the meaning of this?

It has only been a short time since your father passed away

and such a disturbance has already occurred.

It's my fault that I didn't raise him right.

Now I've brought my disobedient son here

to ask you, Prince Yu and all the officials,

for punishment.

It's Prince Jin's fault.

It has nothing to do with you.

I'm not worthy

of your request.

Prince Jin,

are you aware of your crime?

♪Into your eyes, I gazed.♪

♪My heart missed a beat.♪

♪In our prime, we met.♪

♪The yearnings well up in my eyes.♪

♪I keep my love deep in my heart.♪

♪You are always on my mind.♪

♪When we first met in our youth, I hoped for beautiful days ahead.♪

♪Even if I can't win your heart, I won't let go of your hand.♪

♪I look far into the distance alone, ignoring the noise of the world.♪

♪You are the one and only person I pray for.♪
