Chronicle of Life
Episode Thirty-three
Wishing Your Highness well.
Rise.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Why do you look so upset today, child?
Who has wronged you?
Grand Empress Dowager, you are my elder.
You are also the most intelligent woman in the palace.
I have a matter in which I wish to seek your advice.
What can I do to
gain His Majesty's attentions?
What's wrong?
You have just recently been given a higher consort ranking by the Emperor. Is he not treating you well?
Your Highness may not be aware.
The Emperor...
has been staying with Consort Wei in Qian Qing Palace these last few days.
He did not turn any other consorts' tablets. *Stone tablets were used by emperors to signal which concubine he would spend the night with.*
Consort Wei has been living in Qian Qing Palace with the emperor?
Whatever will happen next?
Your Majesty, the Grand Empress Dowager requests your presence.
The Grand Empress Dowager also requests the presence of Consort Wei.
Wishing Your Highness well.
Greetings to Your Highness.
- Rise.- Thank you, Grandmother.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I heard that Consort Wei, after returning to the Forbidden City, has been staying in Qian Qing Palace.
-Living and having meals along with you.-Yes.
Well in that case, you might as well demolish Yan Xi Palace and Cheng Qian Palace.
Grandmother, please cease your anger.
Cease my anger?
Wei Ling Lang, before you left the palace with the Emperor,
those words I said to you, do you remember?
I remember.
Then say it.
A woman who takes up all of His Majesty's love,
while it is a blessing,
that blessing
comes from the misfortune of many other women.
And...
Don't think that if I treat the Emperor well
then it is the right thing to do.
If I was being good to the Emperor, I should be considerate of other people.
So have you done as I asked you?
Do you really think the Emperor only belongs to you?
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
If you understand that you are wrong,
you need to leave Qian Qing Palace immediately.
Be dutiful in your rightful position.
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Ling Lang,
is not able to leave His Majesty.
How dare you!
Who gave you the confidence to say such?
Grandmother,
I am the one in love with Ling Lang. I am the one who asked her to stay.
This is not her fault, if you need to fault someone, then fault me.
Have you forgotten that you are the Emperor?
Su Mo'er.
I'm here.
Go to the Board of Household Affairs and bring back Wei Ling Lang's green-top tablet.
Keep it here until the Emperor remember who he is.
When the Emperor remembers the other concubines in the palace, then he may have it returned.
Yes.
Wei Ling Lang.
I once thought you were an understanding girl.
You have let my trust down.
These days, stay in Chu Xiu Palace,
and reflect on your wrongdoings.
You are not permitted to even take half a step into Qian Qing Palace.
You are all dismissed for the moment.
How did it go?
Consort Ning's complaint was well received. Her Highness, the Grand Empress Dowager, has given her orders.
Consort Wei is no longer allowed in Qian Qing Palace.
Serves her right for keeping the Emperor all to herself.
What is this?
This is Consort Wei's clothes. Consort Ning should change into it.
Why should I change into her clothes?
If Consort Ning wishes to earn his majesty's love,
then you need to change into this first.
Fine. I'll listen to you for the time being.
Also, in front of the emperor,
Consort Ning can only say good about Consort Wei. You cannot say anything bad about her.
I know.
Bi Luo.
Tonight, who is serving the emperor?
I don't know.
Bi Luo.
You can have these items.
Consort, I cannot take these.
Consort has always treated me like a sister,
if there is something you need me to do, just tell me. I will make sure I do well.
Bi Luo.
Could you keep an eye on Chang Qing.
Don't ask me why. Just keep an eye on him.
Okay.
Also, try and find out from Qian Qing Palace,
I want to know everything that happens with the Emperor.
I understand, you can be at ease.
Ling Lang.
Wishing your majesty well.
Why are you wearing Ling Lang's clothes?
Your Majesty, Ling Lang and I are good sisters.
Before when we were living in Xin Zhe Ku, we often exchanged clothes to wear.
Not only clothes, even this string of jewels,
was also given to me by sister Ling Lang.
We've been together since we entered the palace.
In the blink of an eye, it's already three years.
Rise first.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty can't see sister, so because she is afraid that you will yearn for her,
she has asked that I come and see Your Majesty.
If Your Majesty misses sister,
perhaps I can tell Your Majesty some stories about her.
Tell them.
Among all of us, Ling Lang is the most diligent, most capable,
and most thoughtful one.
When we were working in Xin Zhe Ku, everyone was always tired after a day's work.
Once we've finished our work, we all just wanted to rest.
Only Ling Lang would think of cleaning and keeping our room tidy.
Yes.
She is truly like that.
Continue.
Your highness.
His majesty calls for Consort Ning to serve him for the night.
Keep telling the story.
By Buddha's blessings, I wish nothing bad happens to the Emperor.
His Majesty has summoned Consort Ning to service him in bed tonight.
Alright, I understand.
It's getting late and you should go rest.
It's getting late and Your Ladyship should rest as well.
Ling Lang is an elegant person.
We all say she doesn't seem like a Xin Zhe Ku person.
Definitely not seem like someone from a humble slave household.
No matter how you look at her, she just seems like a lady from a prestigious family.
She is versed in music and drawing, among all other things.
Most of us palace maids are illiterate and Ling Lang is the one who reads our letters from home for us.
Your Majesty, I know so much about Ling Lang.
But today I'm a bit tired.
Perhaps I could continue tomorrow for you?
Alright, you go to sleep then.
What about Your Majesty?
I'm not sleepy. You go ahead and sleep.
Yes, Sire.

Your Majesty,
it's getting late.
Preserving your imperial health is of the utmost importance.
It's almost time for court.
We'll talk about it after the court session.
What about Consort Ning?
Send her back.
Yes, Sir.
- Bidding a good morning to Your Majesty.- Did you miss me?
I just came to see you.
I miss you too.
After midday, I'll come see you.
I'm going to court now.
Yes, Sire.
Bidding Your Majesty farewell.
His Majesty turned Consort Ning's badge yesterday.
From olden times, the Emperor cherishing only one woman has not been a good thing.
I hope he understands my toiling of the heart for him.
Grand Empress Dowager, may you not worry.
His Majesty would not disappoint you.
Has His Majesty finished with court?
Replying to Your Ladyship, His Majesty met with a few officials in the imperial library.
I fear he's still there.
Who is serving at His Majesty's side today?
I don't know about that.
You're missing me?
Your Majesty. Rise.
Eunuch De, your injury's healed?
Greetings to Consort Wei.
His Majesty saw that I came to work today and he was happy, so he brought me to see you.
That's wonderful.
I knew if you saw Little De,
you'd be very happy.
Your Majesty, I made mungbean lily soup for you. Have some.
Ling Lang,
you are so good to me. How should I reward you?
Your Majesty,
you should drink more mungbean soup.
Alright. I will continue to drink.
Yuan Er, do you think His Majesty would like this rose scent?
He definitely will.
His Majesty summons Consort Ning for bedservice.
Yuan Er, hurry and dress me.
Your servant greets Consort Wei.
His Majesty summoned Consort Ning again.
It's not urgent news whom he summons.
But is Eunuch De staying by His Majesty the whole time?
Yes.
That's good then.
Ling Lang is very brave. She's not scared of anything.
She can catch a snake with her hands.
But the only thing she's scared of is spiders.
Spider! Did it leave?
No. Still here. Very huge.
Hurry and get it. Chase it out.
Your Majesty.
Oh, you go rest.
Why did you stop?
- Your Majesty. - Don't move.
I know you're missing me.
So I came to see you.
Here, accompany me on a tune.
Your Majesty, this isn't suitable.
You should return.
Your Majesty...
If you stay at Chu Xiu Palace today...
the etiquette office can't record it.
I know. No need for your busy mouth.
You are all dismissed.
Yes, Sire.
I know when I'm not here you can't sleep well.
Look at the circles under your eyes.
Let me watch over you.
After you're sound asleep, I'll leave.

♫ a dash deeply engaved ♫
Your Majesty, Consort Ning still awaits.
I will sleep at the imperial library tonight.
His Majesty has me telling him about Ling Lang every night.
But he hasn't looked at me properly even once.
It's so frustrating.
In the back palaces,
there are so many consorts holding higher titles than your Ladyship.
They don't get to see His Majesty for years.
But His Majesty has summoned you repeatedly for bedservice.
When the word get out, it will be such an honor.
As long as you receive His Majesty's grace,
no matter how much, it'll all come in handy.
Think about it, from now on who'd dare to give you a hard time within the harem?
That might sound right, but this won't be a long-term matter .
If people find out one day,
wouldn't I become their biggest laughing stock?
You and I are riding on the same boat now.
I would do all my best to help you.
Then you should think of a way
to deal with how His Majesty turns my badge every night
and yet he sleeps in the imperial library.
What do I do?
Why didn't it occur to you to go with His Majesty to the imperial library?
How can I? If His Majesty finds fault with me...
I wouldn't be able to handle it.
I will find a way to help you, of course.
So His Majesty doesn't fault you.
I followed Chang Qing today and found that he went to Hua Yang Palace again.
He went to see Hua Zhu?
I don't know, but it's true that he and Consort Ning have had a lot of meetings lately.
Consort Wei, do you suppose His Majesty's frequent summoning of Consort Ning...
could it be linked to him?
Your Majesty.
Consort Ning awaits at the palace.
Tell her to rest early.
I will sleep at the imperial library tonight.
Yes, Sire.
Consort Ning.
His Majesty says for you to rest early.
He's sleeping at the imperial library tonight.
I understand.
Your Ladyship, I put acacia in His Majesty's incense burner.
After an hour, he will become excited.
Then, you can get your wish.
You helped me and some day I will reward you.
Thank you, Your Ladyship.
Also, this is the tea His Majesty loves the most.
Then, I will not bother you anymore.
Dog emperor.
Your death date is nigh!
Your Majesty!
Consort, what's wrong?
Who's serving His Majesty right now?
He turned Consort Ning's badge today.
I need to make a trip to Qian Qing Palace.
Consort Wei, that's not proper.
Word could get out that you're competing with Consort Ning for His Majesty's attention.
Grand Empress Dowager wouldn't be pleased.
I can't care about that.
Ai Xin-Jue Luo, Xuan Ye(Tribal name of the Emperor Kang Xi)
it's time for me to clean things up for you.
Your Majesty.
Ling Lang.
Drink this.
Your Majesty should rest.
Ling Lang, why are you here?
May Your Majesty please take up my grievance. It's clearly supposed to my turn to service you tonight.
But Consort Wei's behavior is not abiding by the rules.
Speaking of rules,
do you think you dressing like Lin Lang is abiding to rules?
You're dismissed.
Dismissed!
Yes, Sire.
Your consort takes her leave.
Why are you here?
Your Majesty...
I know you've suffered these days.
If Ye San sincerely wants to be with Liang'er,
then they should be together.
Who cares about others.
Your Majesty,
I broke the rules today.
If Grand Empress Dowager finds out, she will fault me.
Your Majesty should sleep.
Your Majesty.
I take my leave.
Ling Lang.
I prepared everything.
All it took was for him to think Hua Zhu was you and drink that tea.
Then his life would've ended in death.
I almost had it done! Why did you appear?
Brother, I won't let you kill him.
You like him that much?
Yes.
I like him.
I can't let him go.
You can't let him go, but you can let go of mother and father?
You ought to know
Mother and Father are watching you from above.
I won't be with him.
I'll leave him.
Let's leave together. Far away. Please?
I beg you.
Do you know how I've spent these years?
In order to avenge, I've made myself an eunuch.
I lost everything.
Yun Chu is gone now too.
There's no turning back.
No,
you can't kill him.
Whether I like him or not is a petty matter.
However, he is Great Qing's Emperor.
He's a good emperor.
If you kill him, how many would become like us?
No home to go to. Have you thought about it?
If you want to kill him,
you kill me first.
This is just too much!
She's duped me too much!
Consort Ning, Consort Wei is here.
You take your leave.
Are you satisfied now?
I'm sorry.
I've only worn your clothes daily and telling His Majesty stories of you.
In order for His Majesty to summon me.
I clearly am very jealous of you.
But I had to act like a great friend to you.
Because that's the only way His Majesty would pay attention to me.
It's taken me so long to get to today.
But why did you have to do that?
I'm sorry, Hua Zhu.
I have my reasons.
Your reasons?
Isn't it a fact that you don't want others to take His Majesty?
About this matter...
I will explain to you later on.
Stop being pretentious! Get out!
From now on we are finished. I don't want to ever see you again.
Young Master, please drink the medicine.
I don't want to drink this anymore. It's too bitter.
Young Master, His Majesty is here.
Why wasn't I notified of His Majesty's visit?
I just came through the door.
Be at ease.
Your Majesty.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hurry and get up. Sit well.
How is your injury? Any better?
- My injury--- Your Majesty,
he wouldn't drink this saying it's too bitter.
I know it's bitter,
but you won't heal completely without drinking medicine.
Here, drink it.
Yes, Sire.
Eunuch De.
I heard Ling Lang's been promoted to a Day ing Consortship.
Is she well?
Well. Very well.
That's good then.
What's wrong? Sit.
Does His Majesty have a worry?
Your Majesty's worry... is it about Ling Lang?
Even though Ling Lang continues to be by me,
I still feel such a distance.
I can't guess what's on her mind.
Because Your Majesty cares too much for Ling Lang,
hence you are suffering about your loss.
I worry,
I worry I will lose her.
You should trust in Ling Lang's sincerity.
Eunuch De, I have a matter I want to request of you.
Please give me whatever order you have for me.
His Majesty's food and the things he might use...
incense, tea, clothing, pillow, blanket,
places he might go to and the water he will bathe in,
please take extra care so His Majesty won't suffer any mishaps.
Consort Wei, please be at ease.
Consort Wei, I beg your pardon for meddling.
But that Chang Qing, you didn't use to like him.
How come now you...
Before I didn't understand him.
He is not a bad person.
On the account he's saved your life, I will dismiss his wrongdoings from before.
Chang Qing has never worked in the Imperial Palace before.
He may not understand many rules. Please bid him extra care.
So as to avoid anything going amiss.
Consort Wei, don't worry.
Eunuch Chang, allow me.
Sir, this is my duty.
You saved Consort Wei before so you needn't work so hard. Do something easier instead.
Thank you for your help then.
Your Majesty, tea.
Your Majesty, snack.
Your Majesty, towel.
Your Majesty.
Eunuch Chang, allow me.
Little De, don't compete for every little task.
Replying to His Majesty, Consort Wei's given me orders
regarding Your Majesty's food, tools,
incense, tea, clothes, sheets and blanket.
Also, where you will go and that I should attend you closely.
