[The Rise of Ning]

[Episode 33]

Also.

This bracelet.

Do you remember it?

It's done.

It took you so long to do it.

Looks like you are really clumsy.

No, I'm not.

Feel this part.

I specially added a Heart Knot.

A Heart Knot?

I don't understand.

What does it mean?

Figure it out yourself.

After I picked it up from the villa,

I wore it on my wrist every day

as a reminder for myself

that my Meimei was still alive

and that I had to find her.

I never gave up searching for her.

Meimei,

we've been missing out on each other for too long.

Come back to me.

I've already moved on from the past.

You'd better do it, too.

You're so eager to leave?

What do you want now?

Meimei,

I want to marry you.

Why are you always acting like this?

You pretended in front of me before,

and now you're trying to take everything from me.

Didn't you

like me before?

We went through

the most difficult times together,

accompanying each other

and never leaving each other's side.

Do you love someone else now?

Luo Shenyuan?

I knew it.

Luo Shenyuan uses the excuse of being your "brother"

and hovers around you every day.

I'm afraid he's long had

impure intentions towards you.

Don't speak about Third Brother like that!

You're defending him so much?

Because I like him.

Dare you say that again?

Yining,

Yining, are you in there?

Brother,

why are you here?

Where's Yining?

My Lady, does it still hurt?

It's been several days now.

Why is her foot still like that?

My Lady, it seems this time

you've sprained it quite badly.

I should have accompanied you

into the room that day.

It wouldn't have mattered if you were there or not.

Lu Jiaxue had planned it long before.

Quickly, wrap up the wound.

Third Brother will be here soon.

Don't let him see it.

Third Brother.

This is from Sixth Uncle,

a specially made bruise ointment.

Rest for one night,

and it will be better by tomorrow.

How did you know I was injured?

I heard that after you and Zhao Mingzhu

finished choosing flowers at the Marquis of Anbei's Mansion,

your ankle was injured.

You went to see Lu Jiaxue?

What did he do to you?

How did you hurt your ankle?

I have to say,

Sixth Uncle's medicine is really effective.

After using it, I already…

Look me in the eyes and tell me.

What on earth happened?

The matter between him and me—

I will resolve it myself.

You don't need to get involved.

You don't want me to get involved? Fine.

Tell me.

How will you resolve it?

Anyway, you're not yet established.

I don't want you to offend him

because of me.

Do you think this is

what I'm worried about now?

Lu Jiaxue and I

are already mortal enemies.

Not just because of court affairs

but more because of you.

Yining,

do you have feelings for me?

♫Though fate is fickle, every meeting is hard to predict♫

♫The shadows are paired, responding to whose desire?♫

You…

♫As the shadows of the past fade, there's no need to chase after them♫

Just now…

♫Your dreams are my wishes, forever intertwined♫

These feelings

have been bottled up for too long.

♫It's easy to follow and protect you, but hard to tell you how I feel about you♫

Now,

I just don't want to deceive myself anymore.

♫Thinking about you brings a blush to my face♫

I can openly

like you now.

If you're willing,

♫Asking what destiny is, we go on this journey together♫

I'll go right away

to ask Duke Ying for your hand in marriage.

♫When you lean on me, both of us blush♫

Haven't I said?

When I'm not here,

no one is allowed

to enter my study without permission.

It is the young lady who is inside.

Yining?

Father.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

I saw you hadn't come back so late,

so I came to check.

I also tidied up

your things, Father.

Is it alright?

Of course it's alright!

My study hasn't been this tidy in a long time.

Good, good.

Come.

Look.

The books on this shelf

and those over there—

you can read them anytime you like.

Look at this.

My teacher wrote it.

Why didn't Father scold you?

Why should Father scold me?

Father never allows anyone

to touch anything in his study.

He doesn't even let people in to clean casually.

One time,

Mingzhu's arrow flew in,

and Father scolded her severely.

But Father didn't scold you.

He's always smiling at you.

Sometimes, when he speaks to you,

he's even cautious.

Do you want to know the reason?

It's because since I was young,

I've never had parents' love.

So, Father feels he owes me

and wants to make it up to me.

Nanny Tong,

please take him back to rest early.

Yes.

Ting, let's go.

Nanny Tong,

does Yining not have a mother, either?

No.

Lady Yining's mother

passed away

when she was very young.

Then, I'm better off than her.

At least I still have a father,

though he's a bit stern.

[Yanrong Pavilion]

Yining,

do you think we'll

lose money this month?

It won't come to that.

It's just that our Yanrong Pavilion

hasn't seen much improvement

in business since we opened.

That shouldn't be the case.

The new products I developed

aren't available in other shops.

Our products are indeed good,

but perhaps there are still

too few people who know about our shop.

Sixth Uncle, I was thinking

the Flower Festival is coming up soon.

It will be my first time

attending it as a Wei.

If we could take this opportunity

to let more people know about

our Yanrong Pavilion,

it could give our business

a significant boost.

What do you have in mind?

-Our Yining… -Our Yining…

Go ahead.

Yining

is so thoughtful,

graceful, and proper.

She gets along very well

with everyone in our household.

This is all thanks to you

and Madam Lin's good guidance.

I must thank you both.

You're too kind.

Yining is clever and quick-witted.

Having her by my side

for so many years

has been my blessing.

After hearing Old Madam Wei's words,

I feel relieved.

I was worried before.

What were you worried about?

Worried that she might be bullied?

No.

She is your granddaughter, after all.

Indeed.

Yining

truly tugs at one's heartstrings.

You can rest assured.

We are not worried.

Elder sister,

I came here today

to specially invite you

to come to my residence in a few days

to join in the festivity.

What festivity?

I'll pass on that.

My son said he was gonna hold a Flower Festival.

I'm already at this age.

I'll pass.

Elder sister,

this time, Yining

will be attending it

as the eldest daughter of Duke Ying's Mansion.

At that time,

she will even be leading the ceremony.

So, I specially invite you to come and see.

Well,

then I will definitely go.

Certainly.

It's settled, then.

I've already taken care of

the matter you entrusted me with.

Mother, saying those words

humbles yourself too much.

What are you saying?

Yining is my own granddaughter.

I won't let her suffer any grievances.

I knew

that even if I didn't mention it,

my mother would think of that, too.

Don't try to

flatter me.

I

have already discussed it with Old Madam Luo,

and we're on the same page.

When necessary,

we'll definitely stand up for her.

I knew it.

Both grandmothers love their granddaughter.

You look so rough and tough.

I didn't expect you to be so gentle.

But that child

has indeed suffered a lot.

Yes,

she didn't have parents when she was young.

Now, she's finally back.

I just can't bear to see

her suffer any grievance.

I can feel

your good intentions.

Isn't it why

you put yourself out to organize the Flower Festival?

You even asked me

to invite Old Madam Luo,

so that when necessary,

we can both step in

to smooth things over for her,

regarding the rumors about her out there.

This is all I can do

for my daughter.

Alright, alright.

Aren't you busy?

Go on then.

Father.

Yining,

why aren't you asleep yet?

I saw you were still reading late at night,

so I made you a bowl of noodles.

You cooked it yourself?

I rarely cook,

so I'm not sure if it tastes good.

It's delicious. Delicious!

Father, you haven't even tasted it yet.

It's delicious by the look of it.

Father, please try it.

It smells good.

Senior Yang requested an imperial decree and went to investigate smuggling?

That man.

He's just like that.

Hot-tempered.

[Loyal and Generous]

Do you have anything else to say?

I'm worried

that his high-profile investigation

might alert the suspects.

I understand what you mean,

but Yang Ling…

he's too upright and straightforward.

If there's something he wants to investigate,

no one can stop him.

It's precisely because he's so upright, straightforward,

and passionate

that we shouldn't let him suffer unnecessary losses.

So,

if he succeeds,

we'll help him.

If he fails,

we'll still do our best to help him.

I see.

Have someone

secretly keep an eye on Vice Minister Yang.

Don't let anything go wrong.

Young Master, you want to help Vice Minister Yang?

He's very similar to Senior Daoyan,

being upright but impulsive in his actions.

Let's try our best to keep him safe.

Yes.

Third Brother Luo.

Miss Sun.

We're not strangers.

Why do you always keep such formalities?

Can't you be like the other fellow disciples

and call me Congwan?

Propriety must be maintained.

It's been a long time since you've visited, Third Brother.

Can you stay longer this time?

I won't disturb you for long this time.

I have some important matters to attend to.

Please excuse me.

Prime Minister Wang, why have you come in person?

You could've just sent someone with a message.

You're a busy man,

having to take care of

the business of Yanrong Pavilion

and also busy requesting an imperial decree

for the Duke's heiress.

For me to meet with you,

it's quite difficult.

So,

I had to come to your residence

to wait for you.

Prime Minister Wang, you jest.

It's merely that

Duke Ying has found his heiress,

so I sent a congratulatory gift.

I suspect Your Lordship's intentions

are not so simple.

Could it be that you want to become

Duke Ying's son-in-law?

Prime Minister Wang,

if I were to truly become

Duke Ying's son-in-law,

wouldn't it make

our future dealings

more convenient?

Wei Ling is not Song Yingshan.

He's already involved in the tea tax matter.

He's already in opposition to us.

It's not something that can be resolved

just by forming a family alliance.

Prime Minister Wang, your visit this time

must be about

Yang Ling's trip to the coastal areas by imperial decree, right?

Duke Ying had just visited Yang's residence,

and right after that, Yang Ling

started investigating the tea tax.

He's a mere Vice Minister of Revenue.

Who gave him such audacity?

It seems Duke Ying and Sun Jie

have joined forces.

Prime Minister Wang,

Sun Jie has always been

at odds with you in court.

It seems he can't contain himself this time.

He's just relying on his former position as Imperial Tutor.

They're nothing but a group of pedantic scholars.

I'm just worried those people will form factions

and grow in power.

We must be cautious.

Then, let's try to

develop our own informants among them.

Prime Minister Wang, do you have someone in mind?

That Luo Shenyuan who achieved the rare feat of ranking first in all three imperial exams—

he's also his student, isn't he?

He's been quite prominent lately.

What do you think of him?

He is indeed talented.

Even the Emperor praises him highly.

Send a message to Quanzhou,

and tell them to be prepared.

Prime Minister Wang,

Yang Ling's tax investigation

is by imperial decree.

If we deliberately evade it or cook the books,

it would be inappropriate.

Then, what do you think we should do?

I think the officials in Quanzhou

should fully cooperate with it.

Alright, alright.

Then, let's do as you say.

Yes.

Prime Minister Wang, please.

I still need to trouble you.

Go there in person.

After you see him,

give him this letter.

Wang Yuan's people will certainly make a move.

You must protect him well,

and yourselves, too.

Understood.

Here's what you wanted.

The Twelve Kinds of Floral Essence.

The fragrance is long-lasting and continuous.

Other shops

indeed cannot compare to this.

Sixth Uncle, you have great skills.

That's for sure.

You have no idea how troublesome this is.

Just a tiny bottle of it

requires an entire cart of fresh flowers.

How do you plan to sell it?

I plan to give all the essence

to the noble ladies.

Give?

That won't do.

Don't you know how precious this is?

The ladies in the capital,

in terms of food, clothing, and daily needs,

are used to following these noble ladies.

If we can make

these noble ladies

fall in love with our fragrances during the Flower Festival,

it will surely make our Yanrong Pavilion

famous.

Then you better use it well.

It's just that these twelve fragrances

don't have names yet.

If we could give

each bottle a name,

it would certainly appear more elegant.

I'm not good at naming things.

Why don't we ask Third Nephew?

♫The south wind passes through the world like brocade♫

♫Begonias nestle in front of the blue pond♫

♫The scent of tea drifts across the long streets♫

Aren't you planning to go out?

Why are you here?

Shouldn't you

be waiting in the courtyard outside?

Alright, I got it.

Third Brother.

Third Brother!

Third Brother!

Where did he go?

Trying to trick me?

I just said I understood,

I didn't say I was leaving.

What's in this box?

Uncle said these

twelve fragrances don't have names yet,

so I came up with

twelve names for you.

That's thoughtful of you, Third Brother.

What's in that wooden box?

These flowers look real,

but they're not.

They look really vibrant.

You made these?

It's a secret.

It's all for you anyway.

Pick one, and I'll put it on for you.

This one, then.

♫Though fate is fickle, every meeting is hard to predict♫

♫The shadows are paired, responding to whose desire?♫

♫As the shadows of the past fade, there's no need to chase after them♫

♫Your dreams are my wishes, forever intertwined♫

♫It's easy to follow and protect you, but hard to tell you how I feel about you♫

♫Thinking about you brings a blush to my face♫

♫Asking what destiny is, we go on this journey together♫

Do I look good?

♫When you lean on me, both of us blush♫

Yes, you do.

Let me pick one and put it on for you too.

♫My heart will never change, I'll never regret it♫

♫Always stay by your side♫

I'll pass.

♫Watch the sun rise and set with you♫

As Mr. Dongpo once said,

"The old man wears flowers without shame."

♫I have no regrets, having found you in this life♫

"The flowers should be ashamed to be on an old man's head instead."

Mr. Dongpo was that open-minded.

♫A dream of two♫

You should learn from him too.

♫Sharing the hope that we'll be together forever♫

You have indeed made progress.

You can can even use poetry

to lecture me now.

Come closer, I can't reach you.

♫Life is like a dream, I want to grow old with you♫

♫Stars align in pairs, a reflection of someone's heart♫

♫Missing you day and night, I don't know who's wrong or right♫

Dignified and poised,

handsome and refined,

you look good.

♫Your wish, my hope, together we thrive♫

[Quanzhou Pier]

Those two who boarded the ship

are Wang Yuan's confidants?

Yes.

Over here.

They're all piled up here.

Take a look at this.

It's all here.

The officials are here.

Retreat.

Kneel down.

Where are your accomplices?

Speak!

Search!

-Yes! -Yes!

Sir.

What happened?

Who killed them?

Vice Minister Yang, please spare my life!

I have elderly parents and young children to support.

I promise

I will never reveal

our affairs.

What nonsense are you talking about?

-He… -I see.

Vice Minister of Revenue Yang Ling

smuggled and murdered people,

and we have conclusive evidence.

We have both witnesses and physical evidence.

You guys set me up!

Guards!

Arrest him!

Yes!

That's enough.

You've worked hard too.

Take him away.

-Yes! -Yes!

Hurry.

Young Master Cheng.

Yang Ling has been rescued.

I saw it.

Are you sure Wang Yuan's confidants,

Chen Long and Chen Yang,

are dead?

They're dead.

Submit a report immediately.

Vice Minister of Revenue Yang Ling smuggled tea,

committed murder to silence witnesses,

and fled to escape punishment.

Yes.

There!

There's more over there.

It's so beautiful.

Yixiu.

Lately,

I've been staying at Yanrong Pavilion

to manage the business.

I haven't had time to return to Luo's Mansion.

Did you...

miss me?

Why would I miss you?

I am your future husband.

We haven't even discussed marriage yet.

Whose husband are you?

Give me one year.

I will make sure that my remedies

help as many people as possible,

so as to save lives and help the ill.

I will also make Yanrong Pavilion

the number one rouge shop in the country,

opening ten branches from north to south.

Then, I'll marry you in great splendor.

Don't!

There are still people here.

It's fine.

The ladies will be in the flower hall,

drinking tea and chatting.

The gentlemen will be drinking in the front courtyard,

engaging in lively discussions.

It's just the two of us here.

What are you doing?

You should go back to the front courtyard.

I need to go to the flower hall too.

Meeting like this in secret,

no, it's not right.

[Qunfang]

This Seventh Miss of the Luo family

suddenly became

the eldest heir of Duke Ying's Mansion.

How interesting.

This Seventh Miss is just

a brat who was raised outside of the family.

Who knows what could be going on in there?

Could it be like Madam Mingzhu,

who was sent to the Duke's family?

Elder Sister, you are here!

Welcome, welcome!

Please, have a seat.

Alright.

Please.

Elder Sister,

look at all these flowers in the courtyard.

They're blooming so beautifully.

Yes, I have seen it.

As soon as I entered, it's a sea of flowers.

The most beautiful flowers in the capital

are all here at your place.

Yining, come here.

Yining, after all these years,

you have your Grandmother Luo to thank.

Your mother passed away early,

and your father was often stationed at the border.

If it weren't for my friendship with her,

and my great admiration for

the century-old family teachings of the Luo family,

and entrusted her to raise you well,

how could you have turned out to be

this outstanding today?

We've been old friends for so many years.

Why are you mentioning this?

Our Yining

was born clever and lovable.

No matter who raised her,

she would have turned out this outstanding.

Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't

favor her this much either.

He even bestowed her the title of County Lady.

The Emperor actually bestowed her the title of County Lady?

Wouldn't that be

because of Duke Ying's status?

If she was truly the heiress of Duke Ying's family,

would she be raised outside?

Whether it’s for anyone's sake,

it's still a County Lady title bestowed by the Emperor.

Who are we to even comment on it?

Sister Shen,

let's not say more about this.

The time for the ceremonial rites is approaching.

It's time for the ladies

to move outside the flower hall.

Alright.

You all go ahead then.

I'll take my leave.

Miss Zhao.

Life really plays tricks on us, doesn't it?

Suddenly, a Wei Yining appeared.

Otherwise, today's main ceremony

would have been presided over by you.

Offer your incense.

♫The south wind passes through the world like brocade♫

♫Begonias nestle in front of the blue pond♫

[Lord of All Flowers, Spirit of the Flower Deities]

♫The scent of tea drifts across the long streets♫

♫If your heart is happy, it will be clear skies♫

♫Home is like a harbor, surrounding you♫

On the twelfth day of the second month in the year of Yihai,

♫The moon waxes and wanes, but when people return, the moon becomes full♫

the east wind brings warmth,

and flowers of all colours bloom.

Ahead lies prideful fragrance,

♫The peaceful times turn the years into something ordinary♫

while behind we pursue the fiery allure of peach blossoms.

It is also said that the lotus remains untainted,

and the chrysanthemum never withers.

♫Time sketches the bustling world♫

The pure fragrance lingers after the rain,

while beautiful colors rise like mist in clear weather.

These will never fade even in a thousand years.

♫The red string covers the eaves; dark hair changes into white♫

as the fragrance spreads through the grand halls.

As nature flourishes with the seasons,

the aroma of flowers shines with reverence.

♫Half a lifetime♫

We worship the flower maiden,

and pray for blessings together.

♫The people in the world hold the last wave♫

Now, in this prosperous time across the land,

in a year of peace for the people,

♫Palm lines and growth rings laugh and look at each other♫

in the month when flowers bloom with spring,

we respectfully offer fruit wine,

♫On the journey back, the rolling clouds shimmer♫

with fresh and mellow seasonal flavors,

to honor the deities of all flowers in this Flower Festival.

♫Migrating birds enter dreams♫

May they partake.

With this new offering,

we convey with utmost respect.

♫If your heart is happy, it will be clear skies♫

Now, in this prosperous time across the land,

♫Home is like a harbor, surrounding you♫

in a year of peace for the people,

♫The moon waxes and wanes, but when people return, the moon becomes full♫

we honor the flower deities,

and pray for blessings together.

We honor the flower deities,

♫The peaceful times turn the years into something ordinary♫

Bow.

♫Time sketches the bustling world♫

♫The red string covers the eaves; dark hair changes into white♫

Second bow.

♫Half a lifetime♫

♫The people in the world hold the last wave♫

Third bow.

♫Palm lines and growth rings laugh and look at each other♫

♫On the journey back, the rolling clouds shimmer♫

Respectfully,

the ceremony is complete.

Elder Sister, ladies,

♫Migrating birds enter dreams♫

why don't you join me for a cup of tea?

Whether the children choose to

enjoy the flowers in the garden,

or have a drink in the flower hall,

let them be.

♫For the heart to be calm and the family safe♫

If we were to stay,

we'd only be holding them back.

Elder Sister, that's thoughtful of you.

Please.

Alright.

Big Sister is pregnant?

Yes, but it's still early trimester.

That's why she's not here today.

She asked me to apologize on her behalf.

There's no need for that.

I should hurry back

and prepare a big red packet.

My Lady,

I've brought what you asked for.

Why do these silk flowers

still smell like flowers?

Indeed.

Here's an osmanthus, hibiscus,

and there's even an orchid.

The scent of these silk flowers

is even stronger than real flowers.

This is a fragrance.

Fragrance? What's that?

The fragrance

is made from fresh flowers.

This Miss Wei is truly the

embodiment of a Cinderella story, isn't she?

It smells so good.

Let me smell it too.

Come, sisters,

let me show you.

This is it.

It's these fragrances that we

-drop on the flower. -Seventh Miss.

We should call her Miss Wei now.

This sudden change in how we address her

feels quite awkward to me.

It's alright.

If all of you don't mind,

you can call me by my given name.

How is it that there's

a subtle fragrance here?

It's because of the fragrance.

This is crafted using

the aroma of fresh flowers.

If you drop a single drop on a handkerchief,

it will leave a trail of fragrance with every step you take,

and the scent will linger for days.

How incredible!

This was specially developed by Yanrong Pavilion.

It wasn't easy for me

to get my hands on it either.

Yanrong Pavilion?

I think I've heard of it.

It's a newly opened shop.

I should go check it out sometime.

Here,

why don't all of you try it?

I'll try one too.

Sister.

It smells really good!

Sister, can you guess what fragrance this is?

As petals unfurl to greet the morning sun,

a subtle fragrance gently envelops the air.

This is the fragrance of hibiscus.

You're so clever, Sister.

I will give you this bottle then.

Thank you so much.

It smells wonderful.

I want to buy a set too.

They are not for sale yet.

These are all samples.

If you like them,

you can try it out with these samples first.

Great!

Let me see, let me see.

Let me choose one first.

I want this one.

I want this one.

The one I smelled earlier was nice.

Here.

Was it this the one?

This one smells really good too.

It really does smell great.

In previous years, we've never seen His Lordship

so enthusiastic about hosting the Flower Festival.

This year, for Lady Yining's sake,

he's gone all out with the celebrations.

It's not surprising.

Even if Wei Yining

asked for the moon in the sky,

her father would find a way

to shoot it down for her.

And those noble ladies, too.

In the past,

they all used to gather around you.

Today, all the attention

had gone to Miss Wei.

These people are always quick to flatter the powerful while stepping on the weak.

Today, I've finally seen their true colors.

My Lady, I'm truly worried about you.

If this continues,

your position in the household

will become increasingly awkward, won't it?

Say no more.

Let's go.

Sixth Miss,

a hairpin at the back of your head

seems to have fallen out.

It must have fallen out at the pavilion.

I'll go look for it.

You guys look around first. Let's go.

Sister Sun.

Hello, Sister Yining.

I saw today

that you came together with

Third Young Master Luo.

Yes.

I'm the only child in my family.

Seeing the deep bond you share as siblings

makes me quite envious.

You must be joking.

You're intelligent and magnanimous,

graceful and virtuous,

which is even more enviable.

I came to see you today, Sister,

because I have a favor to ask.

Please go ahead.

My father

intends to betroth me to

the Third Young Master Luo.

Why are you telling me this,

Sister?

I thought you and the Third Young Master

have always shared a close sibling bond.

You must know him well.

I'd like to learn more about him.

I'm afraid it's not a good idea

for you to ask me.

Firstly, I'm no longer part of the Luo family.

Matters concerning Third Young Master Luo

are not for me to discuss.

Secondly,

this is your marriage,

and I am just an outsider.

It's even more inappropriate for me to comment.

I, Yining, will take my leave now.
