Chronicle of Life
Episode Eight
I made a mistake.Now, I regret it very much.
Sister, what mistake did you make?
I offended His Majesty,
but I don't know how can I make up for it.
But Sister, if you won't go to serve beside the Emperor,
how can you make him happy?How can you make him forgive you?
De Gong Gong.(Respectful title for Head Supervisory Eunuchs)
Sir Nalan.
De Gong Gong,
have you heard who the player of the flute was?
I haven't.
There are 100 tents in this base.Even if I go tent by tent, I would probably still miss someone.
I did hear some rumors.
Really?
Greetings, Your Majesty.
What are you talking about?
In response to Your Majesty,
Sir Nalan was asking me if I had found the flute player from that day.
I don't have the heart to talk about this right now.
Rong Ruo, drink with me.
Yes.
Tell me,
how can there be such a woman in this world?
You treat her well yet she doesn't appreciate your favors.
If you treat her bad, you'll make yourself feel unhappy.
From love comes worries.From love comes hatred.
Your Majesty's anxiety,
I'm afraid is because of love.
Pour the wine.
Brother Chang Qing!
Where are you going?
I'm going over there to hand out the clothes.
- I'll help you. - Thank you, Brother Chang Qing!
These useless people.
There's a drought in the north.The citizens are hungry.
They even dare to decrease the amount of relief food.
Your Majesty, don't be upset.
I don't need you to serve me now.You may take your leave.
Yes.
I greet De Gong Gong.
Girl?
Why are you here?
I am here to apologize to His Majesty.
His Majesty's mood has been bad these past few days.
Don't add your bad luck.Go back for now.
What are you doing?
Since I'm apologizing,then I have to show my sincerity.
Your Majesty.
I offended Your Majesty, please punish me.
I'm not bothering with punishing you. You may go.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.
How come you're not leaving yet?
I... I'm willing to enter the palace to be Your Majesty's personal maid.
Today you're beside me,
tomorrow you might be at death's door.
Go back.
Your Majesty, that girl is still kneeling.
It seems she really knows she was wrong.
Girl, His Majesty says for you to go back.
As long as His Majesty doesn't forgive me,I won't go back.
His Majesty asks you to begin duty tomorrow!
That's great. I knew that Sister would definitely succeed.
Lin Lang, it seems like His Majesty really likes you.
Once you're there, don't forget me.
Lin Lang, once I think about you leaving us,
I feel terrible.
Don't worry,
His Majesty has already agreed to let me return every night and rest with you.
Really? Then that's wonderful!
Since you've decided to be a personal maid,
then do it well.If there's any problems,
we will help you.
How come this tea taste different from usual?
Your Majesty, when Lin Lang prepared the tea,she added some mint leaves.
She said that it can make you more alert.
You can be alert in the morning.
What if one ends up not being able to sleep at night,what's to be done?
- Xiao De Zi- I'm here.
What are these?
I should be put to death.
Your Majesty, it was I who arranged that.
I separated those documents that you have already marked and those that you haven't.
I felt that this will make it easier for you.
Do you know that based on rules, other than me,
no one is allowed to touch these documents?
I admit to my mistake.
What happened that made you this sad?
Nothing.
Could it be because you're leaving with me
and you cannot bear to leave your sisters here?
Stop worrying.You'll get wrinkles from it.
By that time, you won't be the prettiest bride anymore.
For me to become your bride,
I will walk pass these steps regardless of how difficult they are.
She really spent time with it.It really did make my work easier.
Your Majesty, why don't I change this tea for you?
No need.
Didn't Your Majesty say that your're afraid that you might not be able to sleep at night?
You're talking too much.
I admit to my mistake.
Eunuch De!
I have something I want to ask Eunuch De.
We are all serving beside the Emperor so there's no need to be polite with me. Hurry and say it.
I want to know what His Majesty usually likes to eat and drink.
Don't ask anything else, girl!
Asking what His Majesty likes, if this got out, it's a huge crime.
Why is this a big crime?
What His Majesty likes or dislikes should be kept secret.
This is to prevent others using it to try to assassinate His Majesty.
So, even if His Majesty likes something,he will not easily let others know about it.
Some food, even if His Majesty likes it,he can only eat a small portion of it.
His Majesty is quite pitiful.
Don't say that!
What do you think the Emperor likes?
Sister Lin Lang, why are you thinking about this?
What else for.Of course, it's to get on His Majesty's good side.
It's because I made a mistake previously.
So I want to look for ways to make His Majesty happy
and to make amends for my prior mistake.
If you ask me,
just dress beautifully each time you serve beside the Emperor.
Let His Majesty admire and feel happy when he sees you,then he won't mind your mistake anymore.
Sister Lin Lang, just tell more jokes to make His Majesty laugh.
Wouldn't that be enough already?
I'm thinking that since Sir Nalan is His Majesty's personal guard,
and he's also Qing dynasty's No. 1 genius,
he most likely knows what His Majesty likes.
His Majesty...likes people with talent.
Likes people who like to laugh, merry people.
Likes people who don't scheme, honest and straightforward people.
He likes to increase his knowledge and likes to do research.
From the looks of it, His Majesty seems to be a good Emperor.
That's right.
Why are you suddenly asking what His Majesty likes?
I am just asking randomly.
Do you have any problems?
None.
I am most afraid that you have problems and you won't tell me.
I will.
It's okay.Go to work now.
Eunuch!
Maiden Lin Lang.
This uniform has always been at my place. Seeing that you haven't claimed it, I brought it here instead. Here.
Maiden is really making me unable to take this.Thank you, Maiden.
Eunuch, you don't need to be polite with me.
The way Maiden is dressed...you still decided to work beside the Emperor?
Yes.
Eunuch, then I'll take my leave first.
This rabbit still has some traces of the Yin Tuo Luo San poison.
His Majesty made it stay by his side this whole time to treat it.
So this is the reason he won't let bunny go.
I've been blaming him wrongly previously.
Little Bunny.
Little Bunny, eat a little more.
Where are you going, Little Bunny?
Wait for me.
Little Bunny, don't be afraid.I'll sing a song for you.
♫ Wants to see you ♫
♫ My heart's been slashed open by time ♫
♫ Galloped ten thousand miles of road but we can't see each other anymore ♫
♫ Didn't get in time ♫
♫ Hate that when we first met, love is already too late ♫
♫ Wanting to go back to that first meeting,just looking at you, secretly admiring ♫
♫ Loving you ♫
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, these flowers aren't only beautiful
but also fragrant. Placing them on the table can calm one's nerves when one sees them.
They're indeed beautiful.
These dried flowers' best advantage
is that they won't wither.
They can stay with Your Majesty forever.
Eunuch De, what's wrong with you?
Don't alarm His Majesty.This is just an old injury of mine.
Eunuch De, why don't you rest for a day?
Let me do your tasks for today.
I can't... I have to serve His Majesty.
Eunuch De...
Here, let me help you to stand up.Come.
Careful...
Slowly...
It's better now.
Thank you.
It's done.Rest for now.
Hey... girl...
While I'm not around,you have to be very careful in serving His Majesty.
- Make sure you don't neglect anything.- I understand.
His Majesty didn't bring many personal servants on this trip
and my leg is causing problems so I can only rely on you.Stay sharp, okay?
I understand.
Why aren't you going back yet?
His Majesty, my time is not finished yet.
Where's Xiao De Zi?
Eunuch De is on a brief leave.
What's the reason for his absence?
I only know what Eunuch De instructed me and
that is to stay until Hai time (9-11 PM) before I can leave.
Then there's no need.You go back first.
Whatever Eunuch De can do, I can also do it.
Alright then, help me change into my night clothes.
It's already this late, why is Lin Lang not back yet?
Looking at this situation,could His Majesty have let her stay to serve him during sleep?
What's serving during sleep?
You don't even know what serving during sleep is?(It means to have marital relations with the king.)
Hua Zhu, don't spout nonsense.
Could it be that Sister Lin Lang encountered some bad men?
Bad luck mouth, don't say those words.
Lao Wu.
Say, do you still remember that Xin Zhe Ku palace maid we arrested previously?
I remember.She's called Lin Lang, right?
Why?
Looks like Your Majesty kind of likes her.
He even transferred her to be his personal maid.
Really?Then that's getting good luck from a previous disaster.
Isn't it?
Personal maid...
Why don't you call Xiao De Zi, instead?
Your Majesty, please forgive me.I will do my job well.
No need.I'll do it myself.
What's wrong?
Your Majesty, please forgive me.I carelessly dropped my handkerchief.
This is not yours.This is mine.
You said that this handkerchief is yours?Then you are admitting
that you Liang'er, right?
- Right?- Your Majesty
Liang'er, I won't let you leave me again.
Promise me to stay by my side forever.
Your Majesty, you've recognized the wrong person.
I am not Liang'er.I am really not Liang'er.
You said earlier that this handkerchief was yours.
Your Majesty, I'm sorry.I'm mistaken.
Your Majesty, it's time for bed.I'll take my leave now.
You cannot go.Explain it clearly.
Why must you lie to me? You are really Liang'er.Why won't you admit it?
I didn't lie to you, Your Majesty.I am really not Liang'er.
I am not mistaken.
The person I met eight years ago,the person I've been trying to find all these years,
that person is you.
Your Majesty... I'm taking my leave.
Liang'er...
I'm sure it's her.Why won't she admit it?
Rong Ruo, I want to have a good fight today.
I'm willing to fight with you until the end.
Come.
If Your Majesty's this angry...
Is there someone who's not following your wishes?
No.I am angry...
because someone lied to me.
Rong Ruo
Good thing I have you.
After this fight, I'll go back and sleep.
Tomorrow will be a new day again.
I won't just give up like this.
Sister Lin Lang!
Yun Chu, what's wrong?
I dreamt earlier that Sister Lin Lang was arrested again.
Why is Lin Lang not back yet?
I'll go take a look.
Be careful
Who's there?
Sir Nalan, it's me.
It's already late.Why are you not back in your tent yet?
Responding to your question, Sir, I'm here to look for Lin Lang.
She has already left.You should also go back now.
Don't be afraid.
That's the sound of an owl.
Go back peacefully.I'll escort you.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Sir Nalan.
Little tiger...
Say, why does Your Majesty kept mistaking me for Liang'er?
How come I can't remember anything that he's talking about?
What should I do to make His Majesty let me off the hook?
You scared me!
Lin Lang, lower your voice.
Tell the truth.Coming back this late, what did His Majesty do to you?
What he did to me?
I just substituted for someone else's duty only.
Then why are you blushing?
Your heart is beating so fast.
It's because I was walking very fast on my way back here.
Stop overthinking.
Lin Lang, feel mine.
My heart is also beating very fast.
What happened to you?
Didn't I go out to find you earlier?
On my way home, I bumped into Sir Nalan.He even escorted me back here.
Ha?Um!
After I returned,
I discovered that he was still standing outside the tent for a very long time before leaving.
Sir Nalan is really a gentleman.
In dealing with others, he is always respectful, tender, and sweet.
Talking with him is like spring wind (romantic).
Even though I like Sir Nalan, I know
that he and I can never be.
I am just a Xin Zhe Ku servant
while he is a respectable and rich Young Master.
How can he like someone like me?
And also, even if he did eventually like me,
I'm afraid that there won't be any happy endings.
Oh, I don't care anymore!
I'll just keep these feelings stored in my heart then.
Lin Lang, how about this,
be my Sir Nalan for tonight.
Let me hug you to get warmth.Treat it as a way of consoling me, okay?
Cuei Jun, I'm sorry.

Lin Lang.
Are you hiding something from me?
There's nothing...
Why didn't you tell me that you've been transferred to serve beside the Emperor?
I...
I am not blaming you.
I know that you had no other choice.
I am just afraid of bad dreams if this is prolonged further.Until His Majesty grants our marriage,
then my heart cannot feel at peace.
The truth is, I've been working hard.
Lin Lang, you won't fall for another man will you?
Don't you believe in me?
Your Majesty, drink some water.
Even you treat me like this.I won't drink anymore.
Your Majesty
Sir Nalan, Your Majesty's angry.
Don't say anything for now.
(My heart has your heart)
My status is very low.The two of us have a great disparity.
I don't know if the two of us will have a good ending.
I must not give you too much hope.I must also not give myself too much hope.
(My heart has your heart.)
I never knew it was hard on you.
Your Majesty, have some tea.
This tea is too strong.
It's inferior to the tea made from fresh dew water on bamboo leaves.
It's light, fragrant, and pleasurable.
Look, Your Majesty.
Isn't that Lin Lang?
What is she doing?
She's collecting dew.
Collecting dew?
Your Majesty, why is she collecting dew?
Brother Chang Qing
What were you thinking earlier?
I...
I'm thinking of what a woman should do to make a man happy.
Who are you trying to make happy?
No... it's not me.It's one of my sisters.
Do you want me to help you think?
That will be good.Men know men better.
Whoever the man he'd definitely like a woman that will cook him something delicious.
Right.Why didn't I think of that?
Brother Chang Qing, what you said is right.
Brother Chang Qing, looking at you...were you promoted?
I'm just a Head Eunuch, still a servant.
You're head eunuch of what department?
Xin Zhe Ku Kitchen.
Wow! That's great!
Brother Chang Qing, to celebrate your promotion,
let's...make some good food to celebrate.
Okay.
Let's go.
Ying Xiong
Hurry...
Hurry and leave.You have to survive.
Take revenge for me.
Ying Xiong!
I know that you don't know music.
But I like the "The Carriage Song" you sang very much.
Since you cannot play, then just sing it for me.
Let me try to completely play the whole song.
Yes.
Leisurely
Baby... are you afraid?
Close your eyes and stop crying.
The wolf is here.The tiger is here.
The horses and monkeys have jumped over the wall and escaped.
Baby... don't be afraid.
Mother will hug you until you fall asleep.
The wolf is here.The tiger is here.
The horses and monkeys have jumped over the wall and escaped.
Baby... don't be afraid.
Mother will hug you till you fall sleep.
You sang very well. I'm going to reward you.Do you have anything you want?
I just want Your Majesty to forgive me if I commit any mistakes in the future.
You just have this one request?You don't have other things you want?
I only have this one request.
Alright then, I promise you.Get up now.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
But I am curious, what mistake will you be making?
Since I entered the palace,I have always made mistakes.
I also have always been making Your Majesty angry.I am frightened
that I might make more mistakes in the future that will anger Your Majesty.
So you're worried about this?
Fine.
Since I already promised you,I will definitely not take back my words.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Lin Lang, you're finally here.
Tomorrow, I'll have good news for you.
What good news?
I won't tell you first.You'll know it by tomorrow.
Fine. To wait for your good news,I'll just wait for now.
Your Majesty, tonight's moon is really beautiful.
How about if I ask Sir Nalan to come here and accompany you to appreciate the moon?
How about if I ask for Lin Lang?
Your Majesty, isn't this the flute sound from the other night?
Let's go take a look.
Yes.
It's a flute sound from the Emperor's camp.
Maybe it's His Majesty playing.
This sound is really nice.
Is this what you're referring to as good news?
Your Majesty, I never thought that the one playing the flute was Lin Lang.
If you cannot play the zither,,any other instrument is fine.
I don't know how to play music.
Lying in front of me is a crime of deceiving the Emperor.
I really don't know how to play music.
Is it pretty?
It's pretty.
Help me put it on.
Alright.You rascal.
Gu Gu is here.
Gu Gu.
What is this you're wearing?
I've been unusually too lenient with you.
A servant of Xin Zhe Ku wears this for whom?
I just wanted a brighter flower in my head dress.
Does Gu Gu need to be this angry?
Gu Gu, don't be angry anymore.
Today is Hua Zhu's birthday.
Hua Zhu don't be sad anymore.
I'll just make you a better looking flower for your head dress next time to serve as your birthday gift, okay?
I don't need you to pity me.
Hua Zhu!
Sister Lin Lang!Wait for me!
- Yun Chu- Wait for me.
Sister, I've already got an idea.
- What idea?- An idea to make His Majesty happy.
- Really?- Go and make Xin Er Luo.
The Xin Er Luo you make is loved by everyone.
I think that His Majesty will also like it.
Don't you think my idea is good?
You're really smart!
Your Majesty, since the one playing the flute was Lin Lang,
then Your Majesty and SIr Nalan's bet agreement...
This bet, I lost.
Your Majesty, honestly, you really don't have to think about this too much.
She told me before that she doesn't play music.
Why did she lie to me?
From what I can see, who Lin Lang really likes is Your Majesty.
The truth is, Lin Lang is quite meticulous.
She even asked me days ago what Your Majesty likes were.
That girl is a little slow.
But in her heart, there is definitely Your Majesty.
The greatest advantage of these dry flowers are that they will not wither.
They can stay beside Your Majesty forever.
