Chronicle of Life
Episode Twenty-two
Greetings to Your Majesty.
No need.
Why is a girl like you this rude?
What's your name?
Your servant is called Wei Lin Lang.
Be more careful from now on.
Don't worry. Go and tend to what you were doing then.
Your servant takes her leave.
Brother Emperor.
I heard you have a palace maid you're especially fond of.
Could that maid be Wei Lin Lang?
Don't ask about what you shouldn't be asking.
I can guess even if you don't say it.
Brother Emperor, why is there a swing over there?
Is there? Let's go the other way.
No, I want to play over there.
Duan Min!
What's fun about that? It's just a swing.
It's for children.
Brother Emperor, come and push me.
Don't you like to shoot targets?
I'll have Little De take you horseback riding and archery.
Yes, Imperial Princess.
It's a very pretty horse. Let's go ride the horse.
You should.
I don't care. I'm staying here to play.
Horseback riding is what we do on the Plains.
Here, the swing is more fun.
Brother Emperor, come and push me now.
If you don't push me, I'm telling Imperial Grandma you were mean to me.
Hurry up. Brother Emperor.
Just for a short while.
Careful.
Still not enough?
Higher. Higher.
Let me tell you this. Don't think this swing is so safe.
Is that enough?
Brother Emperor, I'm scared.
Hurry and get me down.
Scared now? Get out now.
What?
My foot's sprained.
Come.
Are you alright? Stand up.
It really hurts, Brother Emperor.
Your Majesty!
Brother Emperor, you still say you don't like her?
Your eyes are growing on her body.
You're fine now.
Did you hear about it?
That Princess Duan Min is probably His Majesty's new bride.
Yes.
I heard say, they've been close since they were little.
With her coming here, His Majesty yields to her in everything.
You're right. Our emperor seems like a different person when he sees that princess.
That is what I say also.
Come. Are you alright?
It hurts so much, Brother Emperor.
When I left the palace a few years ago, you agreed
you'd miss me daily. Did you miss me?
I missed you.
Missed me everyday?
His Majesty likes milk tea.
Remember to make it for him every day. Understand?
I can't think about that.
But how come . . .
I feel sad.
I shouldn't be sad.
He's a good emperor.
He deserves to be liked by many more girls.
Nice for him.
Brother Emperor, this is my gift to you.
You brought all these great things.
And a few dozen black pearl and iron-hooved horses.
All the horses you like the best.
They are the best horses in the world.
I am the best girl in the world.
Yes.
Look at this bow and arrow. Do you like it?
Not bad.
Hey! Don't you know how dangerous that is?
Here.
Your Majesty and Your Imperial Highness, please have some tea.
Enough playing. Let's rest.
What tea is Brother Emperor drinking?
This is tea brewed with morning dew.
So weak.
Brother Emperor, how come you like such weak tea?
I just like it.
Nothing strange about it.
Didn't I tell you to make milk tea for Brother Emperor every day?
How come you forgot?
I'm not used to that taste anymore.
You don't come here often, you should savor the tastes here.
Milk tea... hold off on that
Alright?
Brother Emperor, is it because this maid can't get used to the smell of goat milk?
So you won't drink it?
Brother Emperor, you can't get away with it this time.
Greetings to Your Imperial Highness. Good Fortune to Your Imperial Highness.
- You may stand up.- Thank you.
What's your name?
I'm Wei Lin Lang.
Lin Lang.
Graceful name and graceful appearance.
No wonder Brother Emperor likes you.
I don't have such good fortune.
You stop playing with me.
Let me just ask you one question.
You tell me honestly.
Do you like Brother Emperor?
What?
Do you like him or not?
I don't dare to.
You know your place.
Let me tell you, you're just a palace maid.
You're not qualified to compete with me.
Brother Emperor and I grew up together.
I'm the only one in his heart.
If he's nice to you
it's because you are standing in for me.
Tonight I'm going to the garden to admire the moon with Brother Emperor.
You know what tea snack he likes don't you?
His Majesty...
He likes cakes that are light.
Are you're actually a servant of his?
You don't know he likes bergamot biscuits and lily biscuits the most?
Also, his favorite tea is goat milk tea.
He doesn't like that dewdrop tea, understand?
Yes, your servant understands.
Slow departure, Your Imperial Highness.
Hurry now.
His Majesty's getting quite upset. He tried on so many but said no to them all.
I'm in a tizzy.
We need to hurry. Come help me.
Your Majesty.
Didn't I tell you?
I'm not going to court.
It's too stuffy wearing such formal attire.
Your Majesty.
You Court Ladies are dismissed.
Hurry and depart.Give this to me.
How about letting Lin Lang choose for you instead.
Your Majesty, come look.
How about this Japanese satin robe?
That is... too dark.
Then is this brighter?
This is too bright.
Your Majesty, I think this blue stone robe
would appear even better under the moonlight.
I'll wear that one then.
I think you know His Majesty the best.

Brother Emperor.
You love it when I sing this song for you.
Every time I sing this to you, you sleep so soundly.
Brother Emperor, did you learn to play this tune just for me?
I did.
When you play it, you think of me in your heart, right?
Yes.
Brother Emperor, I just knew it.
Besides Imperial Grandma, I'm your favorite person.
Yes.
Your Majesty and Your Imperial Highness please have some tea cakes.
You're not needed here. Dismissed.
Yes, your servant takes her leave.
Brother Emperor and I grew up together.
I'm the only one in his heart.
If he's nice to you
it's only because you are standing in for me.
No, I can't like him.
Cannot.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Deceiving the Emperor is a grave offense.
I did deceive the Emperor.
So punish me then.
Brother Emperor, this maid agreed
she wouldn't dare to ponder more on you.
Imperial Princess.
You keep meddling, and your dowry will be all gone.
Brother Emperor, if not for my meddling, how would you know how this girl feels?
Brother Emperor, I have caught you now.
You clearly like that Lin Lang girl.
Hey, don't be so loud. They will hear you.
You're the Emperor.
If you love someone you just put her in the harem and give her a title.
Make her your concubine.
What do you know?
Why don't I know?
Sometimes men are like that.
The more you like and care, the more afraid you are to say it out loud.
Scared that the other person will run and hide if you say it.
So you pretend you don't know anything.
Just wishing you could be together.
Just wanting a stable life.
Who taught you that?
Brother Emperor, I know you like her and mind her.
But you just don't know if she cares about you too.
How about I ask her for you?
Hey, don't you dare.
See how you're fretting. You are in the deep.
Other than asking with words,
I do have another way.
What way?
Come here.
You call that a plan?
I guarantee it will work.
You just get more dowry prepared for me later.
Brother Emperor, how will you pay me your gratitude?
If you disappear immediately,
I will be endlessly grateful. Go now.
If I had known what an ingrate you'd be
I wouldn't have helped you.
This brat...
dotes on Imperial Grandmother's love so she's obnoxious all the time.
Good thing you're about to be wed to someone.
I won't need to watch you meddle around in the palace anymore.
Hurry up and leave.
I'm glad she messed around
or else
I wouldn't know your feelings.
Are you trying to escape?
For the rest of your life,
don't ever think about escaping my reach.
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
Brother Emperor.
I don't know when I'll be back to the palace to see you after I bid you farewell.
I couldn't wait to see you leave sooner.
My ears are finally about to have some peace.
You're so heartless. I just did you a huge favor.
Don't forget...
After you're wed, don't be so hard-headed.
What are you laughing at?
I'm entrusting you with my Brother Emperor.
I'll come to get you if you don't look after him well.
Yes, your servant shall obey.
Brother Emperor, I'm leaving now.
Careful.
Your servant bids the Imperial Princess farewell.
She finally left.
His Majesty and Lin Lang just sent Princess Duan Min off.
I heard they were laughing and chatting afterwards.
But after the fuss Princess Duan Min caused,
I believe everyone in the six palaces
are well aware this will end His time of longing.
The six palaces have paled.
His Majesty needs to be aware of what he's doing.
My Lady.
Spring wind sprouts the flowers under the sun.
Autumn rain knocks down the leaves.
I heard from Little De that the flowers are in full bloom in the Imperial Garden.
I want to go and see them.
Yes.
How about you go and wait there first.
I'll come right after court.
I shall follow Your command.
For the rest of your life,
don't think you can escape my reach.
Empress Dowager.
Look at how rich in color that flower is.
Yes, seeing how this flower blooms so full of energy,
it does put me in a better mood.
Empress Dowager.
Look at those peonies up front that seem to have blossomed well also.
Let us go and look.
Your servant greets the Empress Dowager.May you have tens upon thousands of good luck.
Why are you not beside the Emperor serving him
instead of being here in the Imperial Garden?
This is clearly you treating yourself equal to the Master
and came here to admire the flowers right?
Your servant will not dare.It's His Majesty who told me to come here.
The Emperor has tons of wives in the Inner Palace, yet He did not ask them,
but instead asked you to accompany him to stroll in the garden?
You're such a worthless slave!
Clearly, you cast some form of spell to bewitch the Emperor.
You even dare to lie in front of me?
Escorts!Cane her!
Yes!
- Hurry.- It will be done soon, Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty...slow down.- Walk faster then!
Imperial Grandson greets Imperial Grandmother.
- Rise.- Thank you, Imperial Grandmother.
Your Majesty rushing around like this
is for what reason?
Replying to Imperial Grandmother,
Your grandson heard that the flowers in the Imperial Garden have blossomed beautifully.
Imperial Grandson wanted to come take a look.
Admiring flowers?
Empress Dowager, this wench said earlier that she was waiting for the Emperor.
If later on, His Majesty does arrive
and sees this, it will not bode well.
Halt the caning.
Worthless wet-blanket of a slave!
Let's depart.
During the morning court today,
the discussions were quite long. I felt a little tired so I wanted to go out for a while to take a breather.
Don't blame your Imperial Grandmother for nagging.
You are the Emperor of Great Qing.
Even if the Tai Mountain collapses,you must not show any emotion.
Hurried walking like that earlier is against proper etiquette.
Imperial Grandmother lectured correctly.Imperial Grandson will remember it.
Go now.
Then Imperial Grandson takes His leave.
Even when the Emperor arrested Oboi years ago,he was able to maintain composure.
So what is making him act so hasty today?
Sumu Er
- Secretly follow the Emperor and observe what's happening.- Yes.
Lin Lang!
Over there, Your Majesty!
- Lin Lang...- What?
What happened?
Call for the Imperial Physician!
Lin Lang
Lin Lang...
Father...
Wait for me.Mother, wait for me.
Mother, wait for me.
Father
Father, mother, wait for me.
Reporting to Your Majesty
If Lady Lin Lang had received several canes more,
she might have perished.
- Then how does she fare now?- Lady's injuries are quite grave
and she lost a lot of blood.
I advise that she recuperate for several days.
- Hurry and make her prescriptions.- Yes.
Hurry and run!
- Hurry and run!- Lin Lang, you were just dreaming.
Don't be afraid...
It's just a dream.
I am here.No one will harm you.
Don't be afraid...
All of you, go and guard the Imperial Tomb.
De Gong Gong, may I ask what errors did we commit?
Ask nothing else ever.
Hurry and depart to pack your things.
Then when can we return to the Palace?
Don't even think of that anymore in this lifetime.
Grand Empress Dowager is here!
Greetings, Grand Empress Dowager.
You're here.
Grand Empress Dowager
The group of servants I sent to serve beside the Emperor
were all exiled by the Emperor to guard the Imperial Tomb.
I say, just because of a measly palace maid,
the Emperor unexpectedly is this infuriated with me.
But do you really plan to continue this battle with your son?
It's all due to that worthless wench!
It's enough that she looks a lot like Donggo Eh Fei.(Donggo - Imperial Noble Consort /Empress Xiaoxian after her death)
But she even bewitched her Master and made my relationship with the Emperor become cold and distant.
Then you are the one in the wrong here.
Donggo Eh Fei is dead already.This girl, in this moment,
is the Emperor's most beloved woman.
If you keep going on like this,
the Emperor will just hate you more.
Even if you treat him far better,
you will never regain his heart.
Ying Mo Mo.
Mo Mo.
This is some cow's milk I have stored.
It's quite fresh.Mo Mo, go have a taste.
No need.You just leave it for youself to drink.
Mo Mo, did I do something wrong again?
If you want others not to know your wrongdoings,then make sure you didn't do anything wrong.
Just because you wanted to revenge for your personal grudge,
you increased the mother-son relationship gap between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
This isn't something a slave should be doing.
A person like you has too many evil intentions.
I don't dare to be close to you.
Little tiger is here.Don't be afraid.
Brother Ye San
Yes, I'm here.
Don't go.
I won't go...
Your Majesty
Don't move.Get in.
Your Majesty, Grand Empress Dowager is in Zhao Ren Hall.
Imperial Grandson greets the Grand Empress Dowager.
- Rise.- Thank you, Imperial Grandmother.
The thing between you and that girl,
I've already heard about it.
I just wanted to ask you one question.
Do you really like her
and want the two of you to spend the rest of your life together
or are you just seeking a moment of happiness
and don't care about the consequences?
Imperial Grandson really likes her.
Then that's good.
If you really like her,
then you should learn how to protect her.
Imperial Grandson is the Emperor of Great Qing.
I can definitely protect her well.
I know
that you are the Emperor of Great Qing.
How can you not be able to protect a single woman?
The sun in the sky
can nourish all living creatures.
But if it's too close,
it can also do harm.
If you really treat her well,
then you must have a sense of propriety.Know when to move and when to back down.
Everything in this world
has always been survival of the fittest.
You must understand the meaning of letting water flow slowly can make it flow longer. (Don't be hasty.)
I understand Imperial Grandmother's lecture.
I hope that you really do understand it.
Don't blame me for being a bother.
Gratitude for Imperial Grandmother's compassion.
Your Majesty, are we still going to Lin Lang's room today?
- Let's not go for today.- Yes.
- Little De- Your Majesty
- Go to Xin Zhe Ku.- Yes.
We're just going to visit Sister Lin Lang so you don't have to do that much face painting, am I right?
Don't you understand?
I'm going to visit Lin Lang so there might be a chance that we'll meet the Emperor.
If His Majesty sees me as not being beautiful enough,
then that's being disrespectful to His Majesty.
Sister Lin Lang, does it hurt still?
I'm fine.Don't worry anymore.
I'd say, that since you came to serve in the Imperial Court, you've received too many punishments already.
You even almost lost your life.
Why not just come back to Xin Zhe Ku?The three of us together are definitely happier.
Are you stupid?The workload of Xin Zhe Ku is so tiring.
Even though Lin Lang has received punishments here,
they made His Majesty's heart painful.(Means that he'll cherish her more)
Thus, she can be considered to have received blessings out of this disaster.
Then, when Brother Chang Qing slapped me,
did his heart hurt too?
Lin Lang, do you think this girl can still be saved?
By the way, Lin Lang,
does the Emperor frequently come here to visit you?
- That...- Then do you know
what kind of woman His Majesty likes?
- I...- What color does he like?
What flower does he like?
Did her close sisters visit her already?
Replying to Your Majesty,they are currently keeping her company.
Lady Lin Lang will definitely be happy.
Let one stay behind to take good care of her.
Yes.
Hurry and tell me,what does the Emperor like to eat?
De Gong Gong.
Your Majesty has an order.Between the two of you one may stay
to take care of Court Lady Lin Lang.
De Gong Gong, please allow me to stay.
Lin Lang, then it's been decided.
Thank you for His Majesty's grace.
The flower your Imperial Empress Mother hates the most
is this peach flower.
Imperial Grandmother
When your Emperor Father was still alive,he only cared for Eh Guei Fei.
To make her happy,
he planted a lot of pear tree here in the Inner Palace.
During early spring,
the garden is full of peach flowers dancing around.
Yes, it was pleasing to look at.
But the whole Imperial Garden
had lost all the other colors already.
Your Empress Mother has endured it all her life.
The hurt she has deep inside,
I know that you can understand it.
I really hope that you know what to do from now on.
Imperial Grandson understands.
I hope that you really do understand
then I can really be at ease.
Yang Gu Gu
Oh, This maid really does have a lot of leisure time.
Replying to Gu Gu, I went to visit Sister Lin Lang earlier.
I'm going back immediately to my labors.
The water containers in Xin Zhe Ku are all empty. Go get water and fill them. Understand? Don't you dare to be lazy.
- Ah...- Ah, what ah?
I knew it was him.
Brother Chang Qing...
At present, all of you have gone.
Only I am left.
Don't be afraid.
This jade hair piece was my gift for you to begin with.
