=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 15)

Let me see

how handsome the current Sovereign Prince

who Zhong Li defended by all means is.

Don't move.

Now you know.

Know what?

You broke into Huayan Pavilion

and fiddled with the imperial portrait without permission.

It's a felony that could condemn your whole family.

I... I...

I didn't damage anything.

Why are you here?

I should be asking you that.

Huayan Pavilion is a forbidden place.

Anyone who breaks into the forbidden place shall be condemned to death.

You are risking your life.

I...

I used your token.

Nobody stopped me.

Give me.

I... I...

I simply

promised Consort Wen to make the Tipsy Begonia wine.

But the flavor felt a little undesirable.

The Swing Feast will be held the day after tomorrow.

If I can't make great wines,

I will lose my head.

It's a good thing that you are here.

Do you know

where the books on wine-making are?

Kind Zhong Li,

please help me once more.

That way.

Zhong Li, come and have a look.

What's there to look at?

This book is useful to me.

I will remember that you helped me today.

I'm gonna go.

It will be fine.

I controlled the quality of the wines for the feast.

Nothing will go wrong.

But

why am I feeling so anxious?

What dishes has the kitchen made?

Have they made Longjing Bamboo Mushrooms?

They have.

Your favorite preserved peach kernels,

scallop balls and red bean cakes are ready.

Jinyan.

Don't mind me.

Consort Wen asked me to fetch the preserved peach kernels.

I will plate the peach kernels at once.

By the way,

Consort Wen also asked about the wines for the feast.

Nothing has gone wrong, right?

Of course nothing has gone wrong.

The wines are right there. We prepared the wines early on.

Amitabha. Amitabha.

Jinyan.

Your preserved sweets.

Okay. Thank you.

Prince Yu has arrived. The Princess Dowager has arrived.

I pay respect to you, Prince Yu

and the Princess Dowager.

Get up.

Mother,

I set up a dais

for observation.

After you, Mother.

You are thoughtful, my son.

What made you set up the dais?

Identity

sometimes means glory

and sometimes means burdens.

Lying low isn't a bad idea.

Consort Wen has always been reliable

in terms of handling harem affairs.

About the cellar,

I should thank you

for giving Consort Wen a chance to make amends.

Li Chaohai.

Let it begin.

Reward them.

Present the wine.

No.

The wine seems wrong.

Closer.

Much closer.

No way.

When I checked the wine, it looked colorless.

How come it has color now?

Let's reveal the theme now.

(Passed time)

As ordered by Prince Yu and the Princess Dowager,

the theme of this poetry session shall be "passed time".

There is no rule regarding the poetic form.

Write your poem down within an hour.

Prince Yu and the Princess Dowager will decide the winner.

The winner will accompany them on the hunt.

The auspicious time has arrived.

The poetry session starts now.

Consorts, you may begin to write.

The Princess Consort is not writing.

That's not what a literate person would do.

Just watch patiently.

I rarely see you so interested.

You're confident that the Princess Consort will win?

Tea and wine

are just for fun.

Time is up.

Uh...

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I hear that Consort Wen once composed a poem within seven steps.

And it's a deed praised in Jin City.

I'd like to follow Consort Wen's example

and compose a poem within five steps.

You intend to impress us?

I look forward to your performance.

I lie in the southern room

when the moon starts to rise.

The moonshine enshrouds the water and woods

and falls upon the window.

The moon has witnessed

the vicissitudes of life since ancient times.

The person on my mind must be at the riverside,

reciting poems in the evening.

Good.

You have great talent.

You flatter me, Your Majesty.

I simply took a shortcut.

It seems you are determined

to become the winner.

I only wish to accompany Prince Yu on the hunt.

Back in the day, Emperor Taizu and Empress Chunjia rode together in the hunting ground.

I'd like to follow their example.

I hereby decide

the winner of today's poetry session

is the Princess Consort.

Yiguang, reward her with wine.

What to do? What to do?

Wait.

Your Highness, Your Majesty,

I think this is unfair.

The Princess Consort's poem about "passed time"

is one sentence short.

It lacks feeling.

It's a quatrain that includes four lines,

not one sentence short.

You brazen maid,

in the Sovereign Prince's presence,

you mustn't make wild remarks.

Let her talk.

The voice

sounded somewhat familiar.

"Passed time" refers to the time that has passed.

But the Princess Consort's last sentence

focuses on the present.

Don't you think

it falls short of vision?

I hope to invite him to join me, though he is far away. The breeze blows over the orchids.

The breeze blows over the orchids.

That's a great poetic line.

Your Highness,

I was in a rush to speak

and ended the poem hastily.

I keep my word.

Since I have selected you

as the winner,

you deserve to be the winner.

But Your Majesty...

Insolent maid!

Kneel before me.

This is a great feast in Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion.

You lowly servant is not allowed to chime in.

The Princess Consort just moved into the mansion not long ago

and wasn't familiar with the rules in the mansion.

Don't show mercy

to this kind of disobedient servant.

Just get rid of her.

Your Highness.

(Endurance and Longevity)

Insolent maid!

Take this lowly servant away!

Good lord!

All the fishes in the lake have died.

What?

That's horrible.

How can it be?

Who did this?

I don't know. It's so scary.

It's so scary.

Who did this?

Gosh.

I'm scared.

In Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion,

someone attempted to poison a consort.

Take the wine maker to me.

Your Majesty,

Consort Wen prepared the wines for the feast.

Consort Wen,

you neglected your duty earlier

and caused the destruction of the cellar.

I allowed you to make amends for your fault.

And this is the new wine you prepared?

How dare you poison the Princess Consort?

Is there anything you dare not do?

I'm wronged!

Please judge me right, Your Majesty.

It's Jinyan.

She made the wines for the feast.

My mistress rescued you from the Garden Service Division.

But you plotted against my mistress.

You made the wines?

I did make the wines.

Everyone knows it.

If I really wanted to murder the Princess Consort,

I wouldn't poison my own wine.

Before the Swing Feast,

who entered the kitchen?

Your Majesty,

the people who entered the kitchen

today include the staff of the Imperial Kitchen

and Jinyan, who works for Consort Wen.

I only went there to check the wines for the feast.

How dare you make excuses when there are testimony and evidence?

Seize this lowly servant!

Stop!

Zhong Li.

Do you intend to disobey my order?

I dare not.

Zhong Li?

How can he be Zhong Li?

He is not Zhong Li.

She is accused without evidence.

No one can seize her.

Prince Yu,

you have rebuked me

in public for a servant.

I dare not.

Prince Yu.

But this matter is important.

How dare someone attempt to poison

the Princess Consort at my Swing Feast?

I don't think a mere maid

is capable of doing this.

Get up.

No.

No.

He should be Zhong Li.

How can he be Prince Yu?

No.

No.

I'm seeing

your unprincipled protection of her.

Such an outrageous event

has occurred in my harem.

I'll get to the bottom of it.

Zhong Li.

Yes.

Send my order.

All the servants at the Swing Feast

will be detained here.

All the people who have touched that jug of wine

will be put in the Imperial Prison

and undergo interrogation.

Yes.

Your Highness,

are you intent on doing so?

I

won't involve innocent people in this matter.

I

will punish whoever did this.

Li Chaohai.

Jinyan.

Interesting.

Fan.

Fan me hard.

Your Highness.

I have placed all the involved people properly.

The Princess Dowager sent Jiang Dezhong to supervise the process.

Jiang Dezhong and I will carry out interrogation separately.

The wines for today's feast

were made by Jinyan indeed.

Only she had the chance to poison the wine.

If you were to use poison,

would you poison

the wine you made?

Perhaps it's how she plans to get away with her crime. So she...

Attempted to murder the Princess Consort?

What good would it do her?

Besides, she behaved eerily today.

She offended the Princess Consort repeatedly.

She even broke the wine jug in the end.

If she really poisoned the wine,

why would she go through such trouble?

Well...

The criminal dared to use poison under my nose,

not taking me seriously.

Carry out a thorough investigation.

Yes.

The cells are cold and dank. Bring more covers there.

Never mind.

I'm going there.

Your Highness, Jiang Dezhong works for the Princess Dowager.

It's inconvenient for you to visit the prison.

I'm going there to interrogate the suspects.

What's so inconvenient about it?

It's convenient.

Let him wait outside.

Yes.

You, stay here.

Yes.

Why?

Why is everything a lie?

He isn't Zhong Li.

The feelings are not true.

How did it turn out this way?

It only matters that you should stay true.

I should call you Prince Yu now.

It turns out the plays

are true.

A prince would assume the guise of a guard.

My guard lied to me for such a long time.

Was it fun, Your Highness?

I didn't want to lie to you.

I told every lie

by force of circumstance.

Jinyan,

everyone has his or her own reason.

I chose to believe what you said

about your relationship with Prince Jin, didn't I?

Alright.

Don't be mad.

The top priority is to exonerate you.

Tell me.

You made several attempts to stop the Princess Consort at today's feast.

Did you know something was wrong with the wine?

I believe that you have a kind and pure mind.

But we need to give the Princess Dowager an explanation.

Just tell me the truth.

Don't fear anyone. I will help you.

Enough.

Your Highness,

have you read too many plays?

Are you putting on a show?

I was kind enough to comfort you.

But you are talking to me like this.

You concealed your identity

and watched me clown around again and again.

You knew everything.

And you played with me.

That's your way of being kind?

Yes, I lied to you.

But haven't you kept things from me?

You are Prince Yu.

I don't have the courage

or right to blame you.

I'm just sad.

I'm sad because my Zhong Li is gone

and will never come back.

Your Highness, I wish to be alone.

Please leave.

You think

I, a dignified Sovereign Prince,

is inferior to a guard?

Yes.

I shouldn't have helped you today.

Yes.

You shouldn't have helped me. You shouldn't have known me.

There's no imperial guard. There's no pledge of love.

Everything is a lie.

You shouldn't have created this illusion

and turned me into a laughing stock.
