=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 25)

(Prince Jin, Xiao Qi)

The Princess Dowager's birthday is coming.

Envoys from Nanyu are coming into the city.

I request Honglu Temple prepare a banquet

to show the strength of a major power,

and you are a dutiful son.

Envoys from Nanyu are coming?

Yes.

The king of Nanyu sent his youngest daughter,

Princess Rongjing, who he loves most here.

But Nanyu has always promoted martial arts

and been on intimate terms with Prince Jin.

Now that they're on intimate terms,

let them have less contact with each other.

Honglu Temple is not needed either.

Send Zhong Li to greet Princess Rongjing

fifteen kilometers away from the city.

Yes, Your Highness.

Why did it take her so long to make tea?

Miss Jinyan saw Your Highness were busy.

So she went to the back garden.

Miss Jinyan said

she would fry tea for you with the morning dew

to dispel the humidity in your body

and refresh your mind.

She always makes a fuss about this.

Stop standing there dumbly.

Let's go to the back garden.

Jin'er.

Little master.

Aren't you in the house with Prince Yu?

I am here to see you.

My audience with Prince Yu is only an expedient.

Why must you do this to annoy Prince Yu?

I am here to give you the red coral bracelet.

There is the chill and dampness in the spring air.

From now on, she shall not be allowed to collect the morning dew.

Miss Jinyan cares about Your Highness very much.

I thought Your Highness would like it.

It's much ado about nothing.

I got this from the North Sea.

It can keep people safe.

I...

Little master,

please keep it yourself.

When have we become estranged?

You didn't accept the cherry blossoms.

Now you refused my red coral.

I didn't mean that.

I don't need gifts.

You need not be so nice to me.

Jin'er.

When can you understand?

I want to be nice to you

whether you need it and like it or not.

It seems that she has turned a deaf ear

to what I told her.

It is a gift signifying my triumphant return,

not a token of love.

You need not think too much.

Red coral is a symbol of auspiciousness.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

I want you to wear it as an amulet.

Well.

Now Suyu is living a stable life in the mansion.

Don't you want to get out of here?

I have told you many times.

And I have made up my mind.

You need not ask me again.

As long as it is your wish,

I can get you out of here

at any price.

Back then, after I entered this mansion,

I tried to escape many times.

But now,

I don't want to leave.

Jin'er.

Have you developed feelings for Prince Yu?

What feelings?

Jin'er.

Have you ever thought that

if he finds out your identity,

he may not forgive you.

However, he can pardon anyone in our country.

I have a lot of wisdom.

I will be fine.

OK.

It is fine even if you don't want me now.

I will become the man you like.

I will wait for the day

when you will be willing to go with me.

Jin'er.

I will get you back sooner or later.

By then, you will know

who loves you the most.

I am going to see Princess Dowager.

Her Majesty's birthday is coming in a few days.

There are a lot of affairs going on in the mansion.

It is especially bustling around the Lofty Terrace.

So, don't run about.

I am leaving.

Your Highness.

Greetings to Your Highness.

What have you been busy with?

I...

I have been busy collecting the morning dew.

Come back.

Let go of my hand.

What did you talk with Xiao Qi?

You spied on me!

We just exchanged a few words.

You turned down the snow cherry in front of me yesterday.

Why did you accept this red coral today?

Did you playact in front of me?

Give it back to me.

Give it back to me.

Shoddy item!

Are you a scavenger?

Don't throw it away.

Do you think only your things are expensive?

Make it up to me.

OK, I will.

A man's jade.

Your Highness,

can you show some sincerity?

It is the jade dragon.

Miss,

it is made of the millennial jade of Mt. Kunlun.

It was consecrated

by the first national advisor of Muchen Temple.

It has been passed down from our ancestors.

It has a history of more than 300 years

and is carried around by rulers of all generations.

It can be said to be a national treasure.

I won't accept it.

If I have it damaged or lost,

I can't afford to compensate for it.

What I said

is an order.

I am leaving.

It is cold and dewy in the morning.

Hurry to return to your pavilion.

If I find you meet other men again...

Good day, Your Highness.

Don't pick it up.

Does he have eyes on his back?

Why is he here again?

Recently, Prince Jin has kept coming to chat with Princess Dowager.

I guess he is heading toward Yongning Pavilion.

Carry me to Yongning Pavilion.

Yes, Your Highness.

(Design drawing of the Lofty Terrace)

Mother, look!

Here is the music band.

Here are the fresh flowers.

Also, look here!

Greetings to you, Mother.

Prince Yu.

Spare the formalities.

Be seated, Prince Yu.

Lately, it seems that Prince Jin

has been staying in Yongning Pavilion all the time.

Mother's birthday is coming.

I am thinking about it.

So I have come to chat with Mother about it.

You has always been filial.

As I see it, Prince Yu, recently,

you are suffering strong liver fire.

Take some sips of tea to dispel it.

I have herbs which can dispel the liver fire in my place.

I will send some to Prince Yu later.

You are a courtier living outside here.

You have to undergo complex formalities to enter the mansion.

So I'd rather not bother you.

It won't bother me at all.

Just now, Mother has bestowed the Access Token on me.

My birthday is drawing near.

Prince Jin volunteered to prepare the celebration for me.

I am very happy about that.

Prince Yu, you are busy with government affairs.

So you need not mind these matters.

We are in war this year

and fierce battles are going on at the frontline.

Prince Jin should focus on the business of the front court.

Prince Yu, you need not make excuses.

Even if we are in war this year,

a birthday feast won't make things worse.

(Design drawing of the Lofty Terrace)

I heard that Mother has made Lofty Terrace

the venue of the birthday feast, right?

Exactly.

There are so many pavilions and chambers in the mansion.

Why hasn't you chosen a more prosperous place?

Lofty Terrace was the favorite of the late Sovereign Prince.

At that time,

I was not Princess Consort yet.

I used to play chess and drink wine with His Majesty there.

Now he has passed away.

Besides, an earthquake took place last month.

There were only the remains of the Lofty Terrace after that.

The remains are the only carrier of my memories.

The Lofty Terrace is of wooden structure.

Though it was damaged by the earthquake,

it will be rebuilt in a few days.

I have started working on it.

Before the envoys of the Nanyu enter the city,

it will be rebuilt for sure.

The envoys of the Nanyu?

Is there Princess Rongjing among them?

Yes, there is.

Stop!

What is your order, Your Highness?

Her Highness wants to know

when we will arrive at Jin City.

Now we have passed by Jizhou.

I think we will arrive today.

Stop to rest for a while.

It is stuffy in the carriage, so Her Highness is having a headache.

But...

The birthday feast of Princess Dowager of the Chu Empire will be held tomorrow.

So what?

Your Highness,

His Majesty sent you

to offer birthday congratulations to Princess Dowager.

If you arrive late...

Nonsense!

Stop talking.

I want to have a rest.

Who sent you here?

You should know it.

Why bother to ask?

To the best of your capabilities,

you can't kill me.

Your Highness.

Are you Princess Rongjing of the Nanyu?

Your hand is wounded.

You only need to answer my question.

How dare you?

Mind your manners in front of our princess.

I am the commander of the Palace Guards, Zhong Li.

I will escort Your Highness into the capital at Prince Yu's behest.

Zhong Li?

The character ''Zhong'' is associated with love at first sight.

''Li'' is associated with love lasting till death.

Guard Zhong.

He took his own life. Need I make investigations?

No, you need not.

I know who sent them.

Prince Yu ordered you to welcome me into the capital.

But you did a bad job.

What punishment should I impose on you?

Well.

I will accept any punishment, Your Highness.

Since you've admitted your offense,

before I enter Jin City,

you must obey me in everything.

Your Highness is superior to me.

Whatever orders you give,

I will obey it.

Good.

Then get into the carriage with me.

I dare not.

You said you dared not disobey me just now.

Why are you disobeying me now?

Move.

Your Highness.

Hurry up.

-Your Highness. -Get into it.

Your Highness.

-This... -Hurry.

Your Highness.

Climb up.

Your Highness, eh.

Your Highness.

Shut up.

Hurry to get into it.

Princess Dowager is very nice

to Prince Jin.

Maybe Her Majesty is angry with Your Highness.

Li Chaohai.

Last time, I ordered Zhong Li

to investigate Princess Dowager and Prince Jin.

Did he have any findings?

No, he didn't.

Nonetheless,

Your Highness was brought up

by Princess Dowager herself.

Her Majesty should hold you dear.

The envoys of the Nanyu are entering our capital.

Also, the Lofty Terrace is being renovated.

Princess Dowager is partial to Prince Jin.

It is really odd.

Your Highness,

you are thinking too much.

My father ever told me

that Princess Dowager and Beauty Xu got pregnant at the same time.

Beauty Xu gave birth to Prince Jin

while Princess Dowager's child came to a premature end.

You can carry on the investigation following this lead.

Yes, Your Highness.

Come on.

Taste the tea I decocted today.

Why are you silent?

How do you like it?

Is this tea made with the morning dew from the back garden?

Has the fragrance permeated your mouth

and made you feel comfortable from head to toe?

Your Highness.

I heard a feast would be held in Lofty Terrace.

Foreign envoys and Commandery Princess will come.

It will be a lively scene.

The Honglu Temple makes relevant arrangements.

I know nothing about it.

Never mind.

The lords of the Honglu Temple are all rigid in thinking.

They won't be able to make innovations.

It is the same thing every year.

What innovations can there be in your view?

Why can't there be innovations?

The Birthday Feast of the Princess Dowager is the highlight.

I think there can be a grand opening ceremony.

Go on talking.

The Music Office can open the feast with the Seven Dish Dance.

Then there will be the Huteng Dance.

I remember little master is good at sword dance.

He can perform the sword dance to conclude the feast.

It can not only show our power,

but also celebrate the birthday

and awe the foreign powers at our borders.

It is a good idea indeed.

Prince Jin can dance the sword dance?

Do you know it?

I don't know it.

How come you know it, Jinyan?

I, I guessed.

Has Xiao Qi danced in front of you

and made you fall for him?

You asked me for my opinion.

I didn't ask you for your opinion about Prince Jin.

You...

During the feast,

you shall stay in the Qinzheng Hall

and shall not go out.

Why can't I go out?

Even if you are Prince Yu,

you can't abuse your power

to bully your servants.

Fine. I won't go to the feast.

You can't drink the tea I made.

Take care, miss.

Stop snickering.

Withdraw the guards here the day after tomorrow.

She won't be absent from such a bustling scene.

If I don't leave a way out for her,

I am afraid she will tear down my Qinzheng Hall.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Princess Rongjing was ambushed and frightened on the way.

She can't enter the capital city till tomorrow.

Zhong Li didn't do a good job.

There are forest bandits around the Jin City.

Guard Zhong risked his life to save the princess.

Thus, she could be safe.

Is Zhong Li all right?

Has he got injured?

He is fine.

He just got slightly wounded.

But he can't return now.

It is OK as long as he is fine.

(Chengrui Pavilion)

Prince Jin,

you are thinner.

In the battlefield, the swords come at anyone.

Luckily, you returned safe and sound.

I have been fighting the battles for many years.

The battle in the northern borderlands is not a big deal.

You need not worry about me.

I came to see you for something.

Prince Jin, please sit down and talk.

Please speak up.

The Princess Dowager's birthday feast is coming the day after tomorrow.

I want you to find something for me in the Lofty Terrace.

Do you mean the testament?

Yes.

Where can I find the testament in the Lofty Terrace?

The three main rooms of the Lofty Terrace have been rebuilt.

But I failed to find the testament in them.

If I am right,

it should be in the Qiao Pavilion of the imperial harem.

Are you sure?

Duke An has thought about it for many days.

He thought that it could only be hidden there.

I will try my best

to help fulfill your wish.

Fulfill my wish?

I hope so.

By the way,

Prince Yu has begun to suspect you.

If you want to see me,

just send Fuquan to pass on a message.

Yes.

I picked it up in the back garden today.

It is just a worldly item.

You can keep it.

This is the auspicious garment sent by Qionglin Storage House.

Please have a look, Your Majesty.

Qionglin Storage House has worked overnight

to make it.

Good.

Everything is ready.

I wish Your Majesty health and prosperity.

I only wish that tomorrow

my wish

can be fulfilled.

(Sound Administration and Harmonious People)

Look! They are coming.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Right.

So beautiful!

It is a joyous event.

Your Highness,

he is Prince Jin of the Chu Empire.

He is on friendly terms with your father.

Greetings to you, Your Highness.

I have never met you before.

As the rumors suggest, you're clever.

You should say as the rumors suggest, I am arrogant and rude.

I was born in an uncivilized place.

If I said anything improper,

please forgive me, Prince Jin.

I have to attend the birthday feast of Princess Dowager today.

So that's the end of our talk.

Zhong Li, lead the way.

(Boundless Longevity)

This is my favorite dance.

They all say a sage ruler listens to advice readily

and is very open-minded.

However, our Prince Yu

is unforgiving

and narrow-minded.

What a grand and lively feast on the Lofty Terrace!

I won't get stuck here doing chores.

No way!
