(Episode 27)

Qiuqiu,

my wealth and rank

will depend on your performance.

Go get in.

Somebody, help!

Hurry! Kill it!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Are you all right? Your Majesty.

It's all right. It's all right.

Kill it!

Hurry up!

Don't be scared, Your Majesty.

It's all right.

It's all right now.

Hurry! Take it away!

Hurry! Take it away!

It is here.

Where has it gone?

It's all right now, Your Majesty.

It's gone. It's gone.

It's gone. It's gone.

Your Highness,

the Princess Dowager woke up yesterday.

So soon?

Yes.

It is said that an evil creature rushed into Yongning Pavilion

and frightened Her Majesty.

The Princess Rongjing acted surreptitiously

and had no qualms.

But her plan went up in smoke so soon.

Don't you think such an act

is improper?

Will you go to Yongning Pavilion to check upon Her Majesty?

I won't since Mother has come round.

Ask Princess Consort and all other consorts

to wait upon the Princess Dowager.

Yes, Your Highness.

Mother, greetings to you.

Spare the formalities.

While I was sick in bed,

were the mansion affairs

handled properly?

Since the Princess Rongjing entered our mansion,

things have been out of hand.

Consort Wen.

Your Highness, you are gracious

to allow the princess from the border regions

to put on airs in our mansion.

Stop your nonsense!

Mother,

Princess Rongjing is the daughter of a king

and is in a romantic relationship with Prince Yu.

Thus, I don't know

how to deal with her.

It is a good thing that

Prince Yu has a thing for her.

OK. I will handle it myself.

About the Lofty Terrace,

has Prince Yu taken any action?

Prince Yu

has been busy and might have forgotten.

This garden is so unrefined.

It is so disappointing.

Exactly, Your Highness.

This place can't be compared with our Nanyu.

In our state, spring is all year round with flowers in full bloom.

Right.

It is much inferior to our flower stream and greenhouse.

Gu Zhen.

Look at the branch!

It is slimmer than a woman's waist.

Look here!

You can't see a flower here.

How can the princess?

Miss Jinyan,

please remit your anger.

Prince Yu has been doting on this princess these days.

You'd better not mess with her.

Fine.

If my dear Prince Yu hadn't insisted that I stay,

I would have left for Nanyu immediately.

I understand.

Prince Yu holds you dear.

He will definitely have things arranged for you.

Let's go.

I have to have lunch with my dear Prince Yu.

Though the dishes are not exquisite,

I can't refuse his kindness.

Exactly.

Let me do it.

Why are you here?

Your Highness, are you joking?

As a maid,

it is my duty to serve you.

Princess Rongjing,

His Highness has especially ordered the kitchen

to prepare these dishes for you today.

They are all dishes I don't like.

Princess.

Rong'er.

Is there any food you can't eat?

Rong'er!

Dear Prince Yu.

Don't you remember

I like small animals the best.

The dishes on this table

really make me lose appetite.

Li Chaohai.

Have these dishes removed.

Serve the vegetarian dishes.

Well.

Yes, Your Highness.

I remember you usually like these dishes the most.

So I will have them sent to Yihua Pavilion.

Your Highness,

you want me to have the things Her Highness doesn't like?

I won't accept them.

I don't deserve them.

Are you out of your mind today?

Yes, I am.

I don't have many choices in food

like you people of high statuses.

As servants,

we should be content with what we have.

What are you going to do?

To do the cleaning.

(Qinzheng Hall)

Enough.

You have stirred up the dust.

My hard work isn't recognized.

Go ask your Rong'er to whisk away the dust for you.

What is wrong with her today?

Your Highness.

You used to know it, right?

Just as in the case of Consort Wen.

Miss Jinyan got jealous.

Why is she jealous?

Rumors circulating in the mansion say

that you love Princess Rongjing,

you are fond of her, favor her

and cherish her a lot.

Today, Miss Jinyan saw you

care about Princess Rongjing a lot.

She must be feeling sad now.

So this is the reason.

Such a silly girl.

I am just playacting.

If I don't,

considering on that day,

she caused great trouble in the Lofty Terrace,

the Princess Dowager may hold her accountable.

And she won't be able to end up well.

Dear Prince Yu.

Dear, honey, what indecent words!

Boss,

you scared me.

You made Prince Yu angry again.

Just now...

How could he be angry with me?

Don't mention him to me anymore.

I won't listen.

This is more interesting than picking the blossoms in the tree.

Xiaoxizi, shake the tree.

Shake the tree quickly!

Shake the tree with more strength!

Boss,

I ran out of strength.

Get down from there. I will shake it myself.

Boss, what are you doing?

Don't worry.

While I was growing up, I climbed the tree a lot.

-Boss, please be careful. -Isn't that the maid?

Why are you shaking the tree?

Your Highness,

I heard that these blossoms can be used to make wine.

I guess they are collecting the blossoms.

I want them, too.

Go pluck them for me.

Your Highness, well.

This is my tree.

This whole yard belongs to dear Prince Yu.

How come this tree is yours?

The people from the border regions advocate archery and horse riding.

Your Highness,

are you an illiterate?

The Yihua Pavilion is my residence.

You broke into my house and wanted to pick my blossoms.

This is not right.

I don't care.

Gu Zhen.

Go pluck the blossoms.

You can't.

I don't believe

you dare kick me today.

Gu Zhen, help me climb the tree.

Your Highness,

this tree is too tall.

I dare to climb the Jacob's ladder.

Why daren't I climb a tree?

You want to have a match with me?

Of course.

Fine.

It will be a big disgrace if you lose.

If I lose,

I will jump into the Taiye Pond.

OK.

It is a deal.

Whoever loses will jump.

OK.

Why are they in conflict again?

Princess Rongjing went into the Yihua Pavilion,

trying to pluck the jade and icy peach blossoms.

Thus, they began to quarrel,

and decided to have a flower-picking match.

Whoever loses will jump into the Taiye Pond.

Monkey business.

She should know she is bad at swimming.

Does she want to drown again?

Now she dares to climb a tree as a front court maid.

If she is made the consort someday, she may want to fly.

Three.

Two.

One.

One.

Start!

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Eh.

Your Highness. Eh.

Your Highness.

Climb down quickly.

Your Highness.

♪Self-restraint complicates matters.♪

♪Love doesn't bud♪

♪till the parting comes.♪

♪With no grumble or flaunt, life is insipid.♪

♪Though looking careless,♪

♪I care about you a lot.♪

Your Highness,

are you all right?

Your, Your Highness.

How could you do such a reckless thing?

Your Highness, are you all right?

Leave me alone.

Guard Zhong,

why did you save me only?

You and the front court maid are colleagues.

Why didn't you save her?

Well.

A lady shouldn't have climbed the tree.

If something bad happens...

I will never climb the tree with her again.

Dear Prince Yu,

I have a request.

Could you grant my request?

What is it?

♪Even if our floating lives are transient...♪

I want Guard Zhong to be my guide

to show me around.

As you wish.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Let's go.

My sword!

I also want to visit the mountain at the rear.

Your Highness,

I won't work in the nighttime.

So I can't accompany you any longer.

But it is not nighttime now.

Your Highness,

I have to attend to official affairs.

Please find someone else to amuse you.

Allow me to excuse myself.

How can you?

Are you sure on that day,

you saw Jinyan outside the Tiered Pavilion of Lofty Terrace?

Yes, I am very sure.

I saw Miss Jinyan through the window of the pavilion.

She seemed to be reading the secret imperial edict.

I wanted to go closer to have a look,

but found the spirit monkey at the door.

I was scared.

So I left hastily.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Leave now.

What should I do?

She has got the testament.

What will happen to Qi?

What should he do?

Don't be flurried, Your Majesty.

On that day, there was the chaos.

Then she fell into the water in Lofty Terrace.

Even if she has got the testament,

she might haven't been able to carry it away.

Have you sent someone to search the Lofty Terrace?

The 16 pavilions behind the Lofty Terrace

are regarded as the ancestral land of the Jin City.

They are heavily guarded.

Our people can't get in.

I wanted to create a chance for Qi with the birthday feast.

But I didn't expect...

The maid is to blame for all.

She caused disturbance to the mansion.

Your Majesty,

you have had several disputes with Prince Yu

due to this maid.

You can't annoy Prince Yu again.

I have an idea.

It may dispel your worries.

What is the idea?

Summon her parents to the mansion.

Good!

Wonderful!

Wonderful idea!

Circulate my order.

The front court maid Jinyan

has worked hard to wait upon Prince Yu.

Therefore, she is hereby rewarded.

Her parents are summoned to the mansion.

Yes, Your Majesty.

It is a wise move.

After summoning her parents to the mansion,

whether she behaves herself or not,

she will be restrained.

Exactly.

Summoning her parents to the mansion

is a reward for her

and a threat for her as well.

Little master,

why are you here?

Jin'er.

Mother has come round, so I came to greet her.

On my way there, I came to pay you a visit.

The other day, you...

Don't worry. I am always in good health.

You can't swim.

But you always get involved with water.

How many times have you fallen into water?

You are right.

I have fallen into water several times lately.

I must evade water from now on.

By the way,

why aren't you wearing

the red coral bracelet I gave you?

There is a rule on what to wear in the mansion.

I dare not violate the rule.

I see.

I have been unthoughtful.

Little master.

It is just a gift.

I will bear your kindness in mind.

Well, you have to accept my kindness again.

The poplar wood combs for the maids are unrefined.

This white marble comb suits you better.

It is mild and practical.

Little master,

why are you always giving me gifts?

You give me different gifts every time.

Is the job of a general so cushy?

I...

I just don't know how to show my care for you.

I can only use these secular items

to show my care for you.

But

you need not be so nice to me.

Jin'er.

I am willing to do this for you.

I like to see you accept my gifts happily.

It doesn't matter.

If you don't like this gift,

I will give you something else tomorrow.

Even if it takes one month

or one year,

I will pick a gift that you will like

and will accept.

OK. OK.

Don't be like this.

I will accept it.

But you must promise me

this is the last time

for you to give me a gift.

OK.

Thank you, little master.

I am leaving.

OK.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Stop being angry.

Prince Jin just gave her a comb.

Just a comb?

When a man gives a woman a comb,

it is a token of love.

How could she not know this?

Your Highness.

Does a comb imply this?

The Princess Dowager has granted

your parents to enter the mansion for an audience.

This is the highest reward.

Miss Jinyan, you must be grateful to Her Majesty

and wait upon Prince Yu devotedly.

Stop.

Why are you absent-minded?

No, I am not.

Your Highness.

You are kind and benevolent.

If someone has hidden something from you,

you will pardon the person, right?

Deceiving one's master

is a felony.

I can't pardon the person easily.

What is the matter?

Nothing.

Your Highness.

You said the harsh words purposefully.

I know if someone close to you deceives you

and then repents,

you won't be angry with the person.

The deception can't be denied.

People close to me

shouldn't deceive me.

If I deceive you, what will you do?

You have deceived me many times.

I haven't.

Such being the case,

I will forget what happened in the past.

But from now on,

you can't hide anything from me again.

Otherwise, I will...

What will you do?

I will have your whole family beheaded.

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

Well, this won't work.

It is like asking a tiger for its skin.

I...

I should figure out another way.

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

(Chengrui Pavilion)

Leave now, all of you.

Your Highness,

the Princess Dowager summoned Jinyan's parents to the mansion.

What?

How should I cope with it?

Your Highness,

Prince Jin knew that you must be disconcerted now.

He asked me to pass a message to you.

He said no matter what happened,

you mustn't act blindly

and mustn't meet Miss Jinyan.

He will handle this.

Prince Jin is planning to cover this up?

I don't know.

You should obey Prince Jin

and bide your time.

It is fine he has a plan.

It is good he knows how to handle this.

What should I do?

Should I go to see Suyu?

But what can she do?

She must be very anxious now.

She must be like a cat on hot bricks.

Boss.

Boss.

Boss.

Fuquan asked me to tell you that

Prince Jin wanted a jug of wine from you.

Wine?

The peach blossom wine you presented to Consort Wen previously.

Prince Jin said that it was very delicious.

Recently, he has been longing to drink it.

Little master, peach blossom wine.

Did he say when he would come to fetch it?

He said that if you had any,

he would come to fetch it at about 10 p.m.

About ten o'clock at night.

About ten o'clock at night.

There is still time.

I will be able to make it.

Boss, what are you saying?

Nothing important.

Boss.

You know Prince Yu hates it

when you meet Prince Jin.

How about

I find an excuse

to refuse Prince Jin?

You need not.

I know what to do.

But you can't let others know.

OK.

Let's go. Go.

Go.

Prince Jin.

Prince Jin.

Jin'er.

Prince Jin, I...

It is only between you and me.

Why are you still addressing me as Prince Jin?

Little master.

I have known it.

The Princess Dowager has given your parents an audience.

Has elder sister seen you for this?

Today I intended to tell Prince Yu the truth.

Have you confessed to him?

I intended to admit my guilt in front of him

and begged him to punish me only.

After all, I escaped marriage.

I can't implicate elder sister and the Wen family.

What did he say?

After thinking twice,

I still didn't know how to confess.

Luckily, you didn't tell him the truth.

Prince Yu is prone to suspicion.

He is definitely not a tolerant person.

Due to the previous testament event,

he began to suspect you.

This matter was severer than that.

I am sure that he won't pardon you.

However, Prince Yu treats me...

Even if he wants to be partial to you,

it is the Princess Dowager who wants to meet your parents.

Thus, the law can't be bent.

The Princess Dowager won't let you off

and won't let the Wen family get away with it.

Then what should I do?

I can't implicate the Wen family whatever.

Don't be anxious.

Your real parents can't enter the mansion.

But others can impersonate them.

You mean fake parents?

I have found a couple of commoners.

You must remember that

you are the daughter of the Jiang family in Jiangnan.

Because your family was poor,

you were sold to a rich family to be a maid.

Later, because of the flood in Jiangnan,

you came to Jin City.

While you were roaming in Jin City,

you were taken in by the Wen family.

But...

If the truth is uncovered, what will happen?

It was an exception for you to enter the mansion.

You didn't go through the selection of the Qionglin Storage House.

I have made up your family background.

I will ask Mrs. Wen to cooperate.

Then it will be fine.

Well.

The most important thing is that

you can't appear to be guilty.

Otherwise, you will be suspected.

Others will have something on you.

Must I continue deceiving Prince Yu?

Jin'er.

Don't be silly.

The fate of the whole Wen family

depends on your thought.

You can gamble.

But the Wen family can't.

OK. I got it.

Jin'er,

as long as you don't come clean with

Prince Yu,

I will still have chances.

Why must Prince Jin

poke his nose into my mansion?

What is his intention on earth?

Please remit your anger, Prince Yu.

Zhang Ting has kept Chenzhou under control for many years.

Now his governance is undermined.

It is natural for him to panic.

Speaking of the Equal-Field case,

they gave me such bullshit.

They belittle the regime and harbor wolfish ambitions.

Everyone dares to deceive me.

Don't they fear I will wipe out their clans?

Why were you so careless?

I, I didn't do it intentionally.

What has been bothering her recently?

Yesterday, the Princess Dowager ordered

her parents to come to the mansion.

Being able to meet her parents,

she should be happy.

The Princess Dowager.

Don't hesitate to speak.

Just speak your mind.

The Princess Dowager doesn't believe Jinyan.

It is known across the mansion.

Now her parents are ordered to come to the mansion.

I am afraid it is not a blessing.

I have been neglectful.

No wonder she can't set her mind at rest.

Just do this.

You go to the Qionglin Storage House.

No.

You can't find her files in the Qionglin Storage House.

Go to the Wen's Mansion for me.

Ask Mrs. Wen to

give her a hand.

Yes, Your Highness.

Jinyan of the Jiang family.

Born in Jiangnan.

Due to the flood,

at the age of eight,

no, at the age of six,

was sold to the Wen's Mansion to be a maid.

Jinyan of the Jiang family.

Born in Jiangnan.

Due to the flood, at the age of six,

was sold to the Wen's Mansion to be a maid,

(Wen's Mansion)

(Wen's Mansion)

At the age of six, Jinyan was led here by a couple

and sold to our Wen's Mansion.

I sympathized with her.

I could see that

she was well-behaved.

So I let her stay to wait upon my legitimate daughter.

Don't panic.

You need not emphasize the legitimate daughter.

You only need to remember that

you have only one daughter

and she is Princess Consort married Prince Yu.
