The Story of Yanxi Palace Episode 15

It's really different to be an imperial relative.

After committing a mistake, he still was allowed to attend the offering ceremony.

Hailancha.

Going back to it. You're also a legitimate imperial relative,

but you don't have those stinky traits of Hongxiao.

It shows that the nobility position Prince Yi of the First Rank

isn't anything special.

During leisure chats, let's not talk about matters like that.

What happened?

He was in such a rush.

Your Majesty...

- Investigate it. - Yes.

What's going on? Why are there so many people?

There must be something going on.

Your Majesty, we found it.

Hongxiao. Why does the Qing dynasty share the blessing by eating meat?

Do you still remember?

I remember. Emperor Taizu before had to be separated from his family at a young age.

He brought his brother into the mountain to gather ginsengs and to hunt.

They survived by cooking meat in boiling water.

Afterwards, we maintained such a tradition. After the Qing entered the great walls,

Kunning Palace would do two offering ceremony day and night,

and one major offering ceremony every month. This is to make the Qing descendants

remember the hardships of our ancestors in establishing a great undertaking.

It was hard to establish this great Qing empire.

Since you know all of it,

why then did you add salt on the meat?

Add salt? I didn't.

Taste it yourself.

Our ancestors were able to endure it,

while you couldn't.

Adding salt to the offered meat is clearly looking down on our ancestors and the gods.

You are too bold!

Men! Prince Yi of the First Rank disrespected the ancestors and tainted the offered meat.

His position as an imperial guard of the Gate of Heavenly Purity is revoked.

Let the Imperial Clan Court handle him.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I truly didn't!

I really didn't bring any salt into the palace! I'm innocent!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'm innocent!

Doing offering ceremony day and night, sharing the offered meat,

these are blessings from our ancestors,

the protection of the gods.

But the originally valiant and skillful in warfare

descendants of the eight banners which Prince Yi of the First Rank leads,

has now become insects that relies on their ancestor's merits,

would just play with birds or walk dogs,

and be derelict in their duty.

Not only in going to battle and killing our enemies,

even just eating an offering meat is already a hard task for them.

I have to warn all of you.

The establishment of the Qing Dynasty hasn't been easy.

I will never allow this great empire

would just get destroyed in the hands of a group of prodigal sons

who only knows to seek pleasure and enjoyment, and is disrespectful to our ancestors.

Investigate!

Investigate the guards outside too!

I want to look closely who else

dares to do such a thing!

Check them!

What's going on? When was it the turn of servants like you to search us?

Hailancha.

Lords, sorry to offend you.

Check it!

Lord Fuheng, please.

Have you caught any?

The imperial bodyguards and imperial guards of the Gate of Heavenly Purity have all been checked.

There are no second person who dared to tamper with the meat.

Finally, there are people who are sensible.

Continue with eating the meat.

Yes.

May everyone continue eating the meat!

How come Fuheng didn't get caught?

Young Master, are you alright?

I was so scared earlier.

Prince Yi of the First Rank got demoted and sent for investigation

just for hiding some salt. He even got sent to the Imperial Clan Court.

If I've known earlier, I shouldn't have told you to bring that spiced salt.

Good thing, you didn't bring it today.

So, you've noticed it beforehand.

You're the one who reported Prince Yi of the First Rank.

Yes.

You...

What about me? Are you going to tell me that I shouldn't have reported him

because he's the iron cap prince of the Qing Dynasty,

a descendant of the royal family, a royal grandchild and is of noble status?

Hence, when he told me to kneel, I must kneel.

When he curse me as being a lowly person, I just have to accept all that. Is that it?

Let me tell you that I indeed came from a lowly family,

but I won't let anyone bully me.

He is still a Prince of the First Rank.

Seas change into mulberry fields. Things in this world change.

What was once peaking mountain ridges might become a boundless plain in the future.

Change is the only constant thing in this world.

Not only do you seek vengeance for the smallest grudge,

you are even extremely audacious.

I just want to give him a lesson.

I'm telling him that even an ant can shake an elephant. Any bully

would eventually get bullied in the future.

What about me?

You were able to escape this time

because you already developed suspicion?

No. I just don't want to disobey the teachings of my ancestors,

hence, I threw away the spiced salt.

On the outside,

you are indeed a gentleman.

But could there be a gentleman in this world that destroys the chastity of others?

You repeatedly schemed against me because of A'Man. Am I right?

Yes.

If I tell you that I didn't do it, will you believe?

You think I will?

I can swear by the heaven that this matter has nothing to do with me.

If you don't believe me,

you can kill me now.

- You think I won't dare?! - You dare to.

Is there anything in this world that you won't dare do?

But no is no. I didn't hurt your sister.

I didn't hurt A'Man. If you don't believe me,

you can use this dagger now to stab my chest.

Yingluo, I'm saying it again.

I would never do anything offensive to god and reason.

I never did.

Sorry. I wasn't able to kill him.

But this is the imperial palace.

If I really kill anyone, what about father?

Even so, I've already committed a grave mistake.

I can't continue staying here in Changchun Palace.

Her Highness Empress wants to see you.

I knew it. You will eventually fall and get smashed into pieces.

Wei Yingluo, do you admit your mistake?

Yingluo, Her Highness rarely gets angry.

Quickly tell her the truth.

It's already too late to admit it.

After committing such a grave mistake, just wait to get beheaded.

For this mistake, it was my own doing

and doesn't involve anyone else.

I earnestly ask Your Highness Empress to just punish me.

You...

Did you eat some bear liver or phoenix gall bladder?

How come you don't seem to be afraid at all?

What are you laughing about?

Your Highness still can't bear for Yingluo to suffer.

She exposed the wrongdoings of Prince Yi of First Rank, but you couldn't bear to punish her.

Regarding Prince Yi of the First Rank framing Yingluo last time,

it's also slapping the face of our Changchun Palace. Of course, I'm also unhappy with him.

I also hoped that he can be punished.

But he's after all the biological cousin of His Majesty.

If His Majesty doesn't allow it, I also couldn't castigate him.

But this person is too bold!

You even dared to touch a iron cap prince.

Your Highness Empress is scolding me

just for this matter?

Is there anything else?

Did Fuheng not tell Empress anything?

How is this possible?

You're really something, Wei Yingluo.

What else did you do? Quickly tell me!

So that I won't get shocked again.

How did you know about this?

How did I know?

Fuheng wrote me a letter saying that you were extremely audacious

and asked me to discipline you.

Isn't he doing this for your own good?

Or else, don't know what other troubles you would start.

Imperial Guard Fuca didn't say anything else?

Who is Imperial Guard Fuca? How could he have the time to wrangle with you?

His Majesty might be very happy if there is indeed such a happening.

What do you mean?

High officials disliking the taste of the offering meat and employing tricks to eat it

hasn't been happening for just one or two times.

His Majesty used the incident of punishing Prince Yi of the First Rank

to warn others from following suit.

Or else, he could have just denounced him.

Why must he still send him to the Imperial Clan Court?

Wei Yingluo!

Even if what you said is true,

if you are too particular with every detail in everything that you do,

you won't be able to live happily.

For everything, just take a step back and you'll be able to appreciate how vast the world is.

I'm punishing you to go back and write the word 'forgiveness' 100 times.

Your Highness, with her being this audacious,

you're just going to let her off the hook lightly?

I taught her earlier to take a step back.

Now, if I punish her harshly,

isn't that going against what I said?

You keep being biased with her, harboring her!

Mingyu.

Everything that happened here today

is known by only the four of us.

No one must leak it.

Remember. It must not be publicized.

Or else, I will never easily forgive you.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Go now. - Yes.

Wait.

May Your Highness Empress give your order.

Fuheng was injured when he was training. I'm very worried.

Help me deliver some ginseng soup to him.

Her Highness Empress, let me do it.

You'll go? If you go, you won't be back for 2 hours.

You're just embarrassing yourself.

Yingluo, you go. Return quickly.

Yes.

You said that you got hurt in the practice field?

How come I didn't know that?

I was just accidentally hurt during a dueling practice.

You've been nagging for so long. Aren't you tired?

Not right. Among the imperial bodyguards

and imperial guards of the Gate of Heavenly Purity, there's still someone who can hurt you?

Unless, he used a sinister move.

Tell me who is it. I'll handle him for you.

If you're willing to bet, then you must be willing to accept defeat. This is my matter. No need for you to meddle.

You don't know how to appreciate other people's concerns.

Miss Yingluo.

Why are you here?

Her Highness Empress ordered me to deliver you some ginseng soup

Since I've delivered it, I'll take my leave.

Hey, Miss Yingluo!

Didn't Her Highness Empress instruct you to do other things?

What?

Of course, it's to express sympathy to the injured Imperial Guard Fuca.

I'll leave you two alone...

Why didn't you tell Her Highness Empress

that I'm the one who hurt you?

I didn't hurt A'Man.

Since my conscience is clear, the truth will come out sooner or later.

You think that small favors

can win the hearts of people?

Let me tell you that I'm a stone-hearted person.

I will never believe just because of a few words from you.

Yingluo, let me say it to you again.

I never harmed your sister. The more I didn't want to...

I didn't want to hurt you.

When I asked you the first time

if you know A'Man, why did you pretend to not know her?

A'Man's case caused a great scandal here in the Forbidden City.

Even until she left the palace, the rumors didn't easily die down.

I heard about this matter, but I have never seen her.

Of course, I would say that I don't know her.

How come your jade pendant is with her?

I indeed lost that jade pendant.

But why it ended up with her, I also don't know.

Did every word you say

come from your sincere heart, not one is false?

There's no need for me to deceive you.

If I'm really the murderer, I can just tell Empress.

You think you'll still have the chance to seek vengeance on me?

Okay. I'll temporarily believe you.

If one day, I learn that you're lying,

even if I turn into an evil ghost, I'll still make you pay with your life.

Wait!

What else do you need?

Before, when you were seeking vengeance on me, you were courteous although not sincere, always smiling when welcoming me.

Now that you feel that I'm useless already, you immediately disdained to care about me.

Yingluo, do you know how to change your face?

Since the first time you attempted to harm me, I've suspected you.

After that, I saw your kindness towards Xueqiu.

I then fooled myself again.

Yingluo, it has never been you who has deceived me.

It was me who has been deceiving myself.

Young Master.

Sorry to have hurt you.

I don't accept apologies.

I only accept real action.

Didn't Her Highness order you to deliver me soup?

I'm hurt.

- What's wrong? - My chest is hurt.

The imperial physician said that I must lie in bed to recuperate.

I couldn't even lift my arm.

My I ask Miss Yingluo to lower down yourself to take care of me.

You want me to feed you?

That is the right attitude in taking care of a patient.

That is also the right attitude in apologizing for one's mitstake.

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

It's hot.

Yingluo, actually, every word that you told me,

every smile you showed me,

I've been repeating them in my mind.

Even though I know that you're just lying to me,

I still refused to believe it.

Tell me,

only a tenth of the dagger entered my chest.

Was it because you were worried of being in trouble if you kill me,

or you also have a bit of sincere feelings towards me?

Young Master, your current action...

...is a bit inappropriate.

Intimate lovers. Being sweet with each other.

You two got caught by me.

There are a lot of things to do in Changchun Palace. I'll get going now.

Don't go! I'm just joking!

Sorry, bro.

Who knew that she's couldn't be teased?

Let me feed you. It's fine. You have me. Open your mouth.

I'll do it on my own.

It's hot.

Hey...it's painful.

Enough...

Let go!

Fuca Fuheng, can I trust you?

Fourth Prince, stop messing around. Be good and take your medicine.

Fourth Prince!

- Fourth Prince. - What's wrong with Yongcheng?

Your Highness Consort Xian.

Your Highness Consort Xian, Fourth Prince developed colds,

but he refused to take in any of the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.

With such a small child like that, of course, he wouldn't like taking medicines.

Ask the imperial physician if he can increase the dose of licorice,

so that it will be more convenient for Fourth Prince to take it in.

Quickly go.

Yes.

Yongcheng, what's wrong?

I don't want you, bad woman! I want mother!

- I want mother! - Your Highness Consort Xian, please forgive him.

Fourth Prince is still very small and insensible.

If he offended you, I'm apologizing in his behalf.

Prince is small, but you are not.

What bad woman? Who taught him that word?

Forget it, Zhen'er.

It's just normal for a child this small to miss his mother.

Don't make a fuss with a child.

- Your Highness! - Yongcheng! Yongcheng!

Yongcheng! Yongcheng! I'm here!

Yongcheng...

Yongcheng, look at me.

My god, we just haven't seen for two days.

How come you've gotten thinner.

How did you take care of him? A prince has a very precious body.

How could you be allowed to spoil it?

Noble Lady, I dare not.

I've been meticulously taking care of Prince and never slacked off.

Meticulously taking care? Tell me then,

how come Prince has become like this? It must be because you didn't take care of him properly.

Noble Lady Jia, what are you saying?

Her Highness has been anxious and worried for Fourth Prince.

We've successively invited imperial physicians to check him. What do you mean by not taking care of him properly?

Yongcheng, don't worry. I'm here.

With me here, no one would dare bully you anymore.

You scared me.

Since Noble Lady Jia is here to visit Fourth Prince,

let's go out first.

Let me look at you properly.

Your Highness, Noble Lady Jia has left.

She clearly was crying for you to see.

- Zhen'er. - I didn't say anything wrong.

Fourth Prince has just been here for half a month.

She would come here very two to three days to cause a ruckus and always making such huge movements.

It's causing people outside to gossip that you're mistreating Fourth Prince.

Noble Lady Jia loves her son dearly and is just showing excessive concerns

There's nothing strange about that.

Fourth Prince getting cared for here in Chengqian Palace is the decision of His Majesty to begin with.

If she's so capable, she should go disturb His Majesty.

Why must she keep making things hard on you?

Isn't it because she knows that you're kind and easy to bully?

I don't care what Noble Lady Jia thinks.

Anyway, the child is innocent. Since he's staying here,

we then must take good care of him.

Yes... Your Highness has always been this kindhearted.

It's me who's petty.

Yongcheng, come.

Okay. We're not eating.

Where's the light congee that I asked them to send here?

Fourth Prince doesn't like to eat congee. I then ordered the kitchen to make some soup.

Don't worry. The soup was made from rice soup and some meat.

Prince wouldn't take in even a mouthful of porridge.

I also was just afraid that he'll lack energy.

Let me do it.

Yongcheng, be good and drink your soup.

Yongcheng, if you'll be good and take in your food,

I'll let your mother visit you everyday. Okay?

Fourth Prince, you must be like that.

Not only your mother, even your Royal Father.

As long as you be obedient, I'll ask him to come visit you.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The gentle Empress Team @Viki.com

Your Highness, are you using this hairpin?

Fourth Prince is still sick.

I'm not in the mood to doll up. You decide.

Your Highness, you are being too kind.

You clearly are treating Fourth Prince so well, but others are misunderstanding it. I feel wronged in your behalf.

Enough.

Later, go to the Imperial Medical Academy.

- Ask Medical Investigator Zhang to come over and check his pulse. He specializes in pediatrics. It would be more appropriate. - Yes.

Your Highness! Your Highness! Fourth Prince, he...

Quickly go look.

Consort Xian, my child is this sick.

You treat it as if there's nothing wrong.

Return me my healthy son!

Noble Lady Jia, what are you doing?

Everyone here in the palace says

that you are kind, virtuous, and with noble and unsullied conduct.

But how were you taking care of him? You look by yourself!

Your Highness Consort Xian kept having fever. It's so scary.

Yongcheng is having fever again? Let me see.

Don't touch my son!

What are you shouting about?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, quickly look.

Go and ask for Medical Investigator Zhang.

Yes.

Your Majesty, it's all because I wasn't able to take care of him properly,

hence, Fourth Prince got sick. I'm guilty. May Your Majesty forgive me.

Your Highness, you guarded by Fourth Prince's side last night until near dawn.

Fourth Prince was still well then.

No one could have predicted that he'll have fever again. How come it became your mistake?

Zhen'er, shut up.

Your Majesty, I committed a mistake.

I shouldn't beg for your forgiveness.

Even when you asked me to give Yongcheng up,

I could only accept your decree.

But Her Highness Consort Xian isn't the real mother of Yongcheng.

She doesn't have any experience in taking care of a child.

Yongcheng has just been here for half a month and already got sick twice.

I visited him early today and discovered that he has been having persistent fever.

He kept mumbling "mother"

"Mother.

Mother."

Your Majesty, my heart is shattering just hearing it.

Even if I've made so many mistakes,

Your Majesty, you can just scold or punish me.

But the child is innocent.

How old is he just now?

How could he be away from his real mother?

Your Highness Consort Xian...

I saw that Yongcheng was having high fever earlier,

hence, lost it for a moment and disrespected you. Please understand

the heart of a mother. Seeing one's child suffering,

as his mother, you would want to be in his place instead.

Consort Xian, I beg you...

Help me beg for leniency from His Majesty.

Let me take Yongcheng back.

- I beg you, Your Highness. - Noble Lady Jia, get up first.

I can't bear to accept your bow. Get up.

Consort Xian, everyone knows that you're kind,

but how could you just watch as she gets separated from her son?

Your Majesty,

Noble Lady Jia indeed committed a mistake.

I also don't plan to beg for leniency for her sake.

But people are not sages. Who doesn't make a mistake?

You are blessed with the nation and is broad-minded.

Even just for the sake of Yongcheng,

can't you give Noble Lady Jia one more chance?

Even if you don't want Noble Lady Jia to raise Yongcheng,

then, there's still me.

I can guarantee that when I take Yongcheng back to Chuxiu Palace,

I surely will educate him well.

This way, with his birth mother Noble Lady Jia around,

she can assist in his upbringing. It won't lead to mother and child getting separated,

- and leading to a psychological illness. - Your Majesty, have mercy.

Let me take Fourth Prince back.

Why is Noble Lady Jia rushing to take Fourth Prince away?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

No need for formalities. Medical Investigator Zhang,

immediately check on Fourth Prince.

- Your Majesty. - Yes.

It's just normal for Fourth Prince to feel uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place like Chengqian Palace.

Let me take Fourth Prince back to Chuxiu Palace first

before letting Medical Investigator Zhang check him.

It's just letting Medical Investigator Zhang examine him.

How long can that take?

Noble Lady Jia, aren't you being too anxious?

Other than fever, did Fourth Prince show any other symptoms?

This...

Fourth Prince kept saying that he feels pain everywhere,

but couldn't properly point out where the pain is.

Hence, I also couldn't understand.

Fourth Prince tongue coating is pale and his forehead is extremely hot.

For the pulse, the one at the left inch and bar region is restless and mitigated, while the one at the right inch is smooth. [Chinese traditional pulse checking method divides the pulse area into inch (nearest the wrist), bar, and cubit]

He most likely got inflicted with cold air.

Once you let him drink the medicine that I'll prescribe,

i believe that he'll immediately get better.

Thank you, Medical Investigator Zhang.

Your Majesty, let me take Fourth Prince back to Chuxiu Palace.

Your Majesty, look. Fourth Prince is in so much suffering.

My heart...I really can't endure it.

Consort Xian, what do you think?

I wasn't able to take good care of Fourth Prince.

I feel so guilty. As long as Prince can recover,

I won't have anything else to say.

Sister Consort Xian, you're too easy to convince.

Do you know that Noble Lady Jia has been crying all the way here?

Now, the whole palace is gossiping that you've been harsh on Fourth Brother.

If you allow her to successfully take the child away,

won't that prove the gossip?

Consort Chun, I know that you're worried about me.

But gossips won't work on the smart one.

It's enough that my conscience is clear.

Your conscience is indeed clear,

but you're going to push Fourth Prince into the fiery pit.

Your Highness Consort Chun, what do you mean by that?

Will I harm my own son?!

Consort Chun, if you're going to make baseless remarks, you better choose a time.

Fourth Prince now is sick.

What is your purpose

for saying such harsh words?

Medical Investigator Zhang said earlier

that Fourth Prince got sick because of cold winds.

But look, what season is it already?

This room has all its windows tightly shut.

He even has blanket over him.

May I ask, where did the cold wind come from?

Replying to Your Highness Chun, there's a saying among the commoners

that if you want a child to get sick, just let him starve or get cold a bit.

If one wears too much clothes or get covered with too many blankets, he would perspire a lot

and lead to a lot of illness.

Then, it means, that the more we cover him

the more easily he gets sick?

I've been taking care of Fourth Prince like that ever since,

but he never got sick.

What about the food that he takes?

Last night, I saw his nurse maid feeding him chicken soup.

Fourth Prince has a weak body and unable to sleep soundly at night.

He should drink a light flavored porridge instead.

Chicken meat is a stimulating food and very nutritious.

The child would surely feel more unwell the more he eats them.

I've instructed the kitchen to deliver some light porridge,

but Prince wouldn't eat it.

For the past days, The light porridge that the kitchen has delivered these past days

the light porridge that the kitchen delivered.

Nurse maid even wanted to feed him fish soup.

While Her Highness Consort Xian was not around, I secretly fed it to him.

That's acting so recklessly.

The child is sick, so his body is weak. His stomach and intestines are not in harmony.

You even fed fish soup? He surely will have diarrhea.

That's right. Fourth Prince earlier kept having diarrhea.

He even kept saying that his stomach is painful.

Now, you tell us that Fourth Prince was complaining of abdominal pain.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Take her away and interrogate her.

I want to know why Prince got sick.

- Take her away! - Your Majesty, have mercy!

Your Majesty, have mercy! It was Noble Lady Jia!

It was Noble Lady Jia who ordered me to cover him like that.

Forcefully cover him until he has perspired a lot, gets cold, and develop fever.

I was left with no choice, hence, I can only obey.

You're full of lies!

Tell us, was it Consort Xian...

...who ordered you to do this?!

Noble Lady Jia, how could you deny our agreement?

It was clearly you who said

that this is the only way to make Fourth Prince return to Chuxiu Palace.

No, Your Majesty, it's not like that.

I'm the birth mother of Fourth Prince.

How could I harm my own son?!

Noble Lady Jia, Fourth Prince is just 2 years old.

How could you do such a thing?

He was so reliant on you. You could even dare

harm your own son?

Of course, Noble Lady Jia didn't intend to harm Fourth Prince.

She just wants to take back her son from Consort Xian.

Too bad, in her eyes,

Fourth Prince doesn't count as a real son.

He's more like a chip,

used to exchange for power, wealth—

No! It's not like that...

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, I really didn't...

Everything is just a false charges by Consort Xian.

Wrong. Also Consort Chun!

You...also are involved in this!

I've been living all this time in Chuxiu Palace. How could I extend my hand that long?

It must be...Consort Xian.

Yongcheng has always shunned from Consort Xian.

By doing this, it will make Yongcheng

hate me, her birth mother, forever.

By doing this, she can completely have Yongcheng to herself.

Her Highness Consort Xian has no children.

Of course, she doesn't know how to prepare the food of a child.

Nurse maid is the person who knows Fourth Prince the most.

You're using this point in falsely accusing Consort Xian.

You are so shameless.

No... Your Majesty...

The matter has already come to this, you still don't know to mend your ways.

I think the greatest misfortune of Yongcheng

is having a mother like you.

Men, Noble Lady Jia is not virtuous

and benevolent. She's not worthy to be anyone's mother.

Starting today, her title is removed,

demoted into a Second Class Attendant, and is to transfer residence to Beisansuo. [ Beisansuo is an area north of the Forbidden Palace and is considered a Cold Palace]

Your Majesty, I didn't. I really didn't.

- Men, take the two of them away. - Your Majesty, I don't want to go.

- Your Majesty, have mercy! - Your Majesty!

Your Highness Noble Consort...

Your Highness Noble Consort, save me...

Really good, Noble Lady Jia..

You actually are ruthless to the point of harming your own son.

You have disappointed me so much.

Now, you even want me to beg for leniency for you?

I mustn't do that.

Your Highness Noble Consort, you...

But in consideration for our past affection,

I will take good care of Fourth Prince in your behalf.

Just go.

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Yongcheng! Yongcheng, my son!

Yongcheng!

Your Majesty, life is really unpredictable and human hearts are so vicious.

I never have guessed

that Noble Lady Jia would use my kindness

to scheme in framing Consort Xian.

A woman like that is indeed unworthy to be the mother of Yongcheng.

But, Yongcheng has been living in Chuxiu Palace.

For him to suddenly leave, he surely would feel very uncomfortable.

In my opinion,

why not let me

take Yongcheng back to Chuxiu Palace and I'll take good care of him.

Or else, Consort Xian doesn't know how to raise a child.

It almost led to trouble.

Your Majesty, what do you think?

Your Highness Noble Consort, Consort Xian indeed doesn't know to take care of children,

but practice makes perfect.

Her absolute sincerity towards the child is something that his own mother couldn't even compare.

Yongcheng will stay here in Chengqian Palace.

I believe that Consort Xian will take good care of him.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I've heard that Consort Chun is very knowledgeable and well-versed in medicines.

Today, I've really learned a lot.

Your Highness Noble Consort, thank you for your praises.

I'm ashamed and dare not accept such honor.
