The Chronicle Of Life
Episode 11
Your grandson wish Imperial grandmother a good health.
It's all right, all right.
Thank you Imperial grandmother.
Your son wish Empress mother a good health.
Quickly, stand up.
Thank you Empress mother.
Your concubines wish Your Majesty a good health!
Wish Your Majesty to have a great number of good fortune in Jinan!
All of you stand up. Thank you Your Majesty!
Come over! Come over! Quick, come over!
Let grandmother have a good look at you.
You've been going out on a journey for one month.
Darker.
The complexion a bit darker but actually looks good.
Your Empress mother know that you will come back early today,
she's been here early in the morning to pay respects.
But in reality, she just wants to see you earlier.
Great Empress Dowager, even this intention
of mine has been seen through by you.
Your Majesty certainly looks tired from traveling.
Me going here can make Your Majesty go to less places.
Thank you Empress mother for your compassion.
Sit down, quick.
Only a tender mother can raise an obedient son.
You, Empress Dowager,
is certainly the most lucky Empress Dowager in Great Qing Dynasty.
I owed it to Great Empress Dowager lucky speech.
Emperor, did you encountered anything during your travel this time?
Why did you come back several days late?
It's very difficult for me to go out on a
trip to have fun for a period of time.
So I just delayed the time to go back to the palace.
Whether Your Majesty is being naughty,
How can Imperial grandmother not know?
Rong Ruo!
The Great Empress Dowager!
You tell me.
During the Emperor's recent travel
can it be regarded as safe and sound?
Rong Ruo report back to Great Empress Dowager. Emperor...
Imperial grandmother
If grandson isn't good, would I be sitting down here?
Of course it is safe and sound.
Rong Ruo, you withdraw first!
Yes!
Great Empress Dowager!
Your Majesty has traveled outside the palace for so many days
but I wasn't able to accompany Your Majesty in his trip.
Therefore, I just made some embroidery
to give to Your Majesty once he returns.
Let Your Majesty know how much I missed you.
Thank you for caring.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Great Empress Dowager
Your Majesty, I give you many embroidery pouch.
I'm afraid it doesn't have new conception.
So this is not embroidery.
This is spring loaded arrow concealed for your
sleeve. Your Majesty next time can put it on
when traveling for hunting.
This is really practical. Not bad.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Everyone was hoping for Your Majesty to come home early,
while Little Sister An PIng seems to be hoping
for Your Majesty to go on a trip again.
The world is Your Majesty's world.
Your Majesty naturally should go out frequently and look around.
- Let me see them. - Yes.
These are not bad.
But...
if we want to talk about sewing skills in the inner palace,
it's still Lady Huei who does the best works.
Talking about Lady Huei,
she knows that Your Majesty will be coming back today.
Why is she not here yet?
Does she want us to wait for her instead?
Informing you, Great Empress Dowager. Lady Huei is here to greet you health.
- Come in... - Yes.
We are just discussing about her and now she's here.
She's late.
Your Majesty, how should we punish her?
Lady Huei is here.
Greeting your highness Great Empress Dowager
and your highness Empress Dowager health.
Get up...
Thank you Great Empress Dowager.
Greeting Your Majesty good health.
- Get up. - Thank you , Your Majesty.
I know that Your Majesty will be coming back today but I came late.
I do indeed must be punished.
You little girl...
Tell us why you came late?
I was rushing to make Xin Ren Luo for Your Majesty
so I lost track of time.
Your Majesty loves to eat Lady Huei's Xin Ren Luo's the most.
If all of you have time, try to learn from her.
Yes.
Only the Emperor has a share?
How can there be none for Great Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager?
Chen Xiang
It's so fragrant.
Just a bowl of Xin Ren Luo
makes me cannot bear to punish you anymore.
Isn't it Your Majesty?
Royal Grandmother said it right.
Then I'm thanking Your Majesty's forgiveness.
Great Empress Dowager, the two of us today was able
to eat something delicious because of the Emperor.
If Great Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager liked it,
then I will make you some frequently.
She's so filial.
I really cannot bear to punish you.
I even will reward you.
Then thank you Great Empress Dowager!
Just that I don't know
what Great Empress Dowager will reward me?
Rong Ruo, come in.
Great Empress Dowager
You two siblings have not seen each other for so long.
Now that you're back.
I'm allowing you to see your sister.
The two of you should get together.
Lady Huei, is this reward acceptable to you?
Thank you, Great Empress Dowager!
Get up.
Rong Ruo
You're serving beside the Emperor.
Remember to protect Your Majesty all the time.
Understand?
Lady's teachings are right.
This child is very much like you in the past.
Is a very sensible girl.
Even though you've been serving the Emperor for several days already,
but being back at the palace, you still
have to learn all the rules the proper way.
All the instructions I've told you earlier, do you still remember them?
I remembered. Serving beside the Emperor, one must be extra careful.
One must tolerate, endure, and bear.
Not bad. Give me the water.
Not bad.
Auntie, when serving beside the Emperor, will one stay for very long?
That's hard to say. If the Emperor likes you,
you might be asked to stay in the Palace forever.
Lin Lang...slightly lost concentration...
You girl, so clumsy...
When you're beside the Emperor, be a little sharper.
If you keep being like this, you will be sent away sooner or later.
During Your Majesty's recent trip, were his
clothes and shelter well taken care of?
Responding to Lady's question, even though
outside cannot compare to the palace,
but Your Majesty really doesn't mind.
He keeps saying that everything must be simple and easy.
Since you stay by his side, are there any interesting happenings?
What happened?
I saw Lin Lang.
Although I should have guessed it earlier,
letting Lin Lang enter the palace while hiding it from me
is Sister's idea, right?
My Lady, this is the list of palace maids that will be entering this year.
Very good.
All add this Wei Lin Lang girl.
Your servant know.
Sister have done such thing.
All these are for the good of both of you.
Rong Ruo thanks Sister for painstakingly separating me and Lin Lang.
At that time, when Lin Lang seek refuge with us, how did I help you?
Did you forget already?
I'm sorry sister.
But I also won't just let Lin Lang stay in this palace.
I will definitely take her out of here.
Rong Ruo, how come you didn't understand?
If you do that, you're not just destroying yourself.
Sister knows how I feel about Lin Lang.
If I didn't have Lin Lang my life would be better to be dead.
Please sister help me.
ill-fated relationship.
This is really an ill-fated destiny.
(Da Zhong Zhi Zheng) (Means being extremely fair, without any favoritism)
Your Majesty, please have some tea.
I'm tired already.
How about you accompany me for a walk?
Yes.
Raise your head up.
Look higher.
Do you feel like it looked familiar?
Isn't this...
This is the pear tree in the paddock.
That night, I first saw you under this tree.
Met you.
After we returned, I cannot stop worrying about this tree.
So I asked people to transfer it here.
As long as I see this tree,
I then remember how you look during that time.
Why do all beautiful things in the world
cannot last forever?
If there is a flower that will not wither, that will be great.
In this world,
there will definitely be a flower that does not wither.
It's her. I heard that she's the new court
lady in waiting hired by Your Majesty.
So it was her.
How come her life (fortune) is that good?
That's right.
You don't need to say anything. Just listen to me.
I know that I'm sorry to Your Majesty.
This is already a sin punishable by death.
But I'll still do this unethical act.
I...
I cannot just stand and look at you staying
at Your Majesty's side and not do anything.
Honestly, I...
I'm gonna make you go out of this Palace, by any means.
You just have to tell me now
if you are willing to get out of here or willing to stay by the Emperor's side?
The truth is, I never wanted to be a court lady in waiting.
I'm willing to get out.
Then good.
Then wait for me. I'll think of a way.
I will also find a way to get a chance to leave the Emperor's side.
Please believe me.
Lin Lang
- Greetings, Your Majesty. - No need.
I have been thinking ever since that since you saved my life,
I must reward you handsomely.
Do you have anything you want? Just say it.
Whatever I want, will Your Majesty give it?
Of course.
Your Majesty, there's something I want to beg you.
Okay... Come.
Stand first.
Say it.
I want to go back to Xin Zhe Ku.
Why?
I'm already used to my life there.
I want to go back.
Do you really want to experience hardships that much?
Okay.
Whatever you will be doing in Xin Zhe Ku,
you can just do the same task here in Qian Qing Palace (the Emperor's Palace).
Okay.
Your Majesty, walk slowly (carefully).
♫ Blowing wind and rain, in the river bank
Sighing about humanity’s coldness and warmth ♫
♫ What’s gone yesterday is back again Rain trickling down in a spring night ♫
♫ Flowers bloom and wither many times It’s difficult to be disappointed ♫
♫ Peach flowers all over the ground but no one cares ♫
♫ If one’s lifetime only has that first meeting ♫
♫ Not knowing what changes will happen next ♫
♫ The four seasons make the world perfect But they are never timeless ♫
♫ Thinking about it now Spring has gone and autumn has come many times ♫
♫ Hard to send to you my yearnings It’s
getting deeper and deeper by very much, ♫
♫ very much. ♫
Greetings, Concubine Duan.
Go and inform. I want to see Your Majesty.
Responding to Your Lady, Your Majesty is not inside.
Where did Your Majesty go?
We also don't know.
Hurry and go.
Stay right there.
Greetings, My Lady.
Rise.
Where do you plan to hide?
Responding to My Lady, I don't plan to hide anywhere.
I just suddenly remembered that I'm going to the wrong direction.
Stop giving me that excuse.
Do you think I don't know those small bug bitten holes
in your heart? (I'm guessing she means secrets)
My Lady, please just spare me.
I really do not dare to lie to you.
Oh, you're delivering the name tags to Your Majesty.
Responding to My Lady, this was just sent earlier by the Household Section.
I was just about to bring this to Your Majesty.
He most likely will choose after dinner.
Hey, My Lady, you...
Shut up.
Why should Concubine An be placed in such good position?
I'm sure she has paid some Eunuch again.
I would not let her get what she wants.
Sister can just touch your own name tag.
Touching other's name tag is kinda unethical.
Little Sister, I just feel that since Your
Majesty will not be going to yours anyway,
placing your name tag anywhere is just the same.
Since placing it anywhere is just the same,
the more Sister should not move it anymore.
Listening to Sister's words...
putting your name tag here
and letting you get some of Lady Huei's fame might
give you some chance to get Your Majesty's attention.
Hearing Sister's tone, it's like I'm full of bad luck.
Since it's like that,
ain't it better to place me beside you
so that I can set Sister off more.
Listen to my suggestion, you're tag should be placed here.
I feel that placing SIster's tag here is better.
Why are you moving my name tag?
You were the one who moved mine first.
Little Sister, your name tag should be placed here.
Sister's should be the one placed here.
Who allowed you to move my name tag?
It's you who obviously moved my name tag first!
Yours should be placed here.
Mine should be the one placed here.
Yours...
My Ladies, please have mercy on me...
Emperor, the concubines room markers are here.
Get out get out.
Let's go.
Emperor,
didn't I ask you to leave?
Lady Duan Ping wants to see you.
What is she here for?
Ask her to go back.
I am here to pay my respect to you Emperor.
Get up.
Thanks Emperor.
Emperor, I have prepared night snacks for you.
There is fish cake and chestnut cake.
Please give me face and try my food.
This...
Emperor, An Pin Lady would like to see you.
Emperor,
I am here to pay my respect to you.
Ok, get up.
Thanks Emperor.
Emperor, I have prepared
Nan Pei, Lotus Leave dessert,
Dried Deer meat, Eight Treasure Pudding, Aloe Vera cake,
and this soup that I have cooked for the last 5 hours.
Sister, Emperor has already eaten his dinner.
He should be eating something light for snacks.
You have made so much aren't you afraid of causing the Emperor indigestion?
This is a show of my sincere intention.
Emperor, you only have to try them,
I will be eternally grateful as long as you try them.
Emperor has just come back from his trip,
this deer meat and lamb meat do you think
the Emperor has the appetite to eat them?
Sister's intention is really crude!
Sister, you are right.
This deer meat and lamb meat are both
brought back to the palace by the Emperor.
Don't tell me that you threw them away instead of eating them!
You!
Where are you going, Emperor?
It is too noisy here so I need to go out to get some peace. Is this ok?
Emperor, we are sorry.
Eunuch, why aren't you resting at night but cutting meat instead?
Shall I help you to cut them?
No need.
Who are you cooking for?
Nothing, you can leave first.
Ok.
Paying my respect to the Emperor.
Get up quickly.
Thanks Emperor.
I know that you are coming,
so I have prepared your favourite food.
Ok.
How do you know that I will be coming here?
I have a heart to heart connection with the Emperor.
I am here to get some peace.
I understand.
Emperor, I will leave now.
I will leave too.
Zhang Jian Brother,
Chang Qing Brother,
Chang Qing Brother, are you here?
Chang Qing Brother, I know that you are here.
Why are you hiding from me recently?
Have I done something wrong to upset you?
You can tell me and I will change.
If you continue to hide from me.
I can't eat and sleep.
Yun Chu,
I am not qualified to love you.
Rascal Emperor...
You are the one that is responsible for my current situation.
I want to kill you!!!
Thousand swords to kill you, ten thousand
swords to kill you, kill, kill, kill.
It is late now, you should have your rest.
Yes, Emperor.
I am sending off the Emperor.
Lady, once the Emperor comes back, you are the first one that he visits.
This is a really show of his liking for you.
You are good but why don't you ask him to stay?
Rather than to be his favourite for the moment,
I am more interested in a long term relationship.
In the back palace, I am the only woman who understands the Emperor.
I am his only soulmate.
We think in the same line and we are solid like gold and stone.
I would like to return to Xin Zhe Ku.
Why? I am used to the life there.
Just because I am the Emperor,
You naughty girl, see how I will punish you.
Brother, you can't catch me,
Brother!
No matter what happens, I want to be with you.
Shall we both leave here?
Shall we not come back ever again?
Ok.
If I want to kill the Emperor,
I would have to get near him.
I know such a big secret of yours,
how should I use this?
I have a question for you.
I… do I hav a brother?
No, why do you ask this suddenly?
I.. really don't have a brother?
Could you have remembered wrongly?
Or do you not know either?
Rong Ruo Brother, why does Emperor want to kill our whole family?
Because...
Because your father has done the wrong thing.
Just because my father didn't visit the Emperor,
he wants to kill our whole family?
Sister, don't ask, you won't understand the adults.
When you grow up, you will understand.
I don't understand. I only know that father,
mother and brother are all good people.
The Emperor is bad and I hate him.
Lin Lang,
What is up?
You can't continue to stay beside the Emperor.
I know, don't worry.
I will try my best to leave here.
Emperor, please put me down quickly!
Are you ok?
I am sorry that I have offended you!
Please forgive me. Please forgive me.
Enough.
You can go back to Xin Zhe Ku.
I have permitted you.
Thanks Emperor for your permission.
Chang Lou,
I will go with you.
Coming back to the palace means that we have come back to endless chores.
Just be satisfied, it is better than clearing the ash or cleaning the toilet.
I am afraid that before I see the Emperor, my hands,
will have already been destroyed.
When is Lin Lang coming to rescue me?
Have you finished cleaning all the clothes from Zi Ren Palace?
Mo Mo,
Isn't Yun Chu the one in charge of cleaning clothes from Zi Ren Palace?
YUn Chu, where are the clothes from Zi Ren Palace?
Ok dear, I have forgotten...
I am sorry but I have forgotten about them.
I will go and iron them now.
What is your name?
Who is the auntie in charge of you?
Such an important matter and you dared to forget about it?!
I am Yun Chu and the auntie in charge is Yu Zhu.
She…she is already...
I say, a mountain without a tiger caused the monkeys to become kings!
Quickly finish ironing and send them to me.
Also, I am punishing you by banning you from eating for a day.
This is already considered a light punishment.
Yes,
Emperor, have some tea.
The water has been cooked for too long.
The taste has gone off, please leave.
Emperor, let me change another cup for you.
Please try.
Have you boiled the water?
Xiao De Zhi,
- Emperor? - This is too light.
Too much.
Why are you so stupid?
Emperor, I am incompetent.
How about if I call Lin Lang here?
No need.
If she is happy, let her continue to stay in Xin Zhe Ku.
Yes.
What is up? Have you burnt your finger?
I am fine.
I didn't finish my task and I panicked.
Don't panicked, have a meal first. I will get food for you.
Sister, I am not hungry.
Please eat my share too.
You already don't have enough to eat daily,
Why aren't you interested in eating recently?
Sister, I am really not hungry.
What is this?
Yun Chu, come and see, there is a meat cake!
It's him!
It must be him.
Who is it?
Is this from your Chang Qing brother?
Chang Qing Brother,
I don't know why you are ignoring me suddenly.
But it is fine if you are ignoring me
but why are you still concern about me secretly?
You hiding from me has really affected my appetite.
So, I am returning this to you,
These few days I have been thinking
what is it that I have done wrong.
I have upset you.
So i was distracted in all tasks that were given to me.
This time I got punished by Mo Mo.
You sent me food.
I am feeling very grateful.
But I would rather you tell me why you ignore me so suddenly?
I don't wish to be tortured everyday like this.
I can't sleep well or eat well.
