Episode 3
13th prince has arrived!
13th brother 8th brother
Sorry for the long wait
Finally waited until you came
I just finished helping Crown Prince
He returned to his estate to change clothes
And told us to eat first and not wait for him
Come, this way. Okay Come
4th brother
Come, 13th brother, let's go in.
Go.
Sorry for the long wait.
We waited for you for a long time.
10th brother
The carefree and beautiful Maertai Ruoxi you often speak of
If it was a beauty, all of us have seen several,
but, today,
8th brother, this sister-in-law of yours look really is extraordinary.
13th brother, don't exaggerate about thisimmature sister-in-law of mine.
10th brother has been waiting to drink with you.
Is that so?
Yes.
What's the hurry. Tonight, you're in trouble.
I'm afraid that no one will drink with me
Drunken carousing is one of the pleasures of life.
Today everyone's getting drunk.
Good!
Bring the wine.
Good, 13th. Bring the wine.
We were waiting for this sentence.
Quickly, come, bring the wine.
Don't forget, last time you went drinking with me,
how did you end up?
This time we must make you thoroughly drunk
Come, drink.
Can you do it?
No problem, come, drink.
Come, who's afraid of who?
Good alcohol capacity.
Yes, drink some more.
Great. Good alcohol tolerance.
Again.
Drink, cheers.
Crown Prince has arrived!
Crown Prince, greetings!
Crown Prince
Excused
Although I came late,
but I especially brought 10th brother
a special gift.
Really? What did you bring me?
Take it out and let me see.
Isn't this the Jade Ruyi that Burma paid tribute to Imperial Father?
8th brother has good eyes.
You could tell at the first sight
Burma gave Imperial Father 4 such pieces.
I personally chose one piece to give to 10th brother as a present.
Using tributes as a personal gift?
If Imperial Father knows of this, one will be punished severely.
14th brother, Crown Prince is the apple of Imperial Father's eye.
Someone else might be in trouble,
but Crown Prince will definitely be all right.
Crown Prince's gift sure is generous.
But if Imperial Father learns of this,
wouldn't it be problematic?
I'm afraid that even if Crown Prince gave this gift,
10th brother will not accept.
Would I dare to refuse a present from the Crown Prince?
Correct. What 10th brother said is correct.
10th brother, Crown Prince is playing a joke on us.
He brought this Jade Ruyi here to show us.
Think about
Imperial Father already gave a piece to Imperial Grandmother,
and another to imperial concubine Mi.
If you also took a piece of the same Jade Ruyi
wouldn't that be unfilial?
Correct. 4th brother is correct.
That was the reason.
How about this, 10th brother?
I'll send your present over in a few days.
What is a good present?
On the way here, didn't Crown Prince say some great red-haired horses came from Northwest recently?
and said you'll give one to 10th brother.
Correct.
13th brother is correct.
It will be these horses.
10th brother, I'll personally pick the best one
and order someone to send it tomorrow.
Then I thank the Crown Prince.
Ah, yes.
Crown Prince has been here for so long, but we've haven't let you pick a scene yet. That is so impolite.
Someone, come.
Yes.
10th brother.
Today is your birthday,
you should be the one to pick a scene.
I just picked one earlier.
It's your turn now, Crown Prince.
What did you pick just now?
Ma Gu Xian Shou.
Then it's this one, continue singing.
Yes.
10th brother.
Shouldn't you drink a few cups with Crown Prince?
This.
Crown Prince was late,
so he should drink 3 cups as punishment.
Yes, correct. 13th brother, help me accompany Crown Prince for a while. I need to change.
I'll be back soon. Soon.
Come, drink.
Qiaohui, come here.
Prepared yet?
Don't worry.
Good alcohol tolerance, again.
Puking?
Hey!
Did someone see?
No. You're like this and you still want face.
You can kill a soldier, but you can't humiliate him.
If they see me puking
how will I face them?
You've been following me,
did you want to see me be humiliated?
Do you really think so?
It is your birthday so I wanted to treat you better.
I...
I was just saying.
Don't be angry.
Since it's your birthday, I'll forgive you.
I am here to give you a present.
Present?
This?
Close your eyes and follow me.
Then if I don't close my eyes?
Then no present.
I'll close.
Close.
No peeking.
I can't see anything.
I'll hold you.
Little Red, follow grandma.
You won't harm me, right? Step.
Why would I harm you?
Otherwise you'll take care of me for the rest of my life.
No peeking.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Don't talk so fast.
Slowly. 7 steps.
You count them.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 7
You want to injure me?
Are we there yet?
Say something. Go down.
Are we there yet?
If you don't say anything, I'll open my eyes.
Still won't talk.
So bothersome and tiring.
Right turn.
Go.
Stop.
Scared me to death.
Open your eyes.
So beautiful.
Too beautiful.
Ruoxi.
Did you make them yourself?
Of course.
Ruoxi, what are these?
Thousand origami cranes
Thousand origami cranes?
What do thousand paper cranes do?
So fun.
Happy Birthday to you.
Ruoxi.
What are you singing?
Birthday song.
Birthday song?
Birthday song can be sung like this?
Isn't Ma Gu Bai Shou the Birthday song?
This is the version I made up.
Maertai version.
Ruoxi, it sounds great.
Sing it to me another time, okay?
When will you sing me one?
To the princes, greetings
10th brother
I was wondering why you disappeared after only drinking a little.
So you found a small stage.
I was just a little drunk
so I came to sit a little.
I think you're drunk from happiness.
14th brother!
10th brother's anxious.
10th brother's unhappy.
Then let's not bother them
and observe this environment.
The scenery is nice.
There are many places with beautiful scenery.
Why must you admire this place?
All of you princes, slowly admire this place, I'll take my leave.
I'll take my leave.
Ruoxi.
Don't be anxious.
Don't you have eyes? Walking into people now?
You were raised by your parents,
but you don't know any rules.
The pot is calling the kettle black.
You are you, and I am me.
I have parents to teach me. You can't compare to me.
What do you want?
You and your sister are the same.
Both of you are wenches that don't know the rules.
Where did you hear this from?
Who I heard it from isn't important.
Say it again.
You are all wretches and vicious women.
You hit me?
I'll scream that you hit me. I'll hit you.
Cheap wenches! Cheap wenches!
I told you to hit me, you cheap wench.
I'll hit you. I'll hit.
I'll hit you! Stop!
You venomous bitch!
You cheap wench!
Stop fighting! Stop!
Hold it! Hold it!
Stop!
Quick, stop them!
Ruoxi! Ruoxi.
Ge'ge! What happened?
Quickly, save them!
Quickly, save them! Help!
Quick! Bring them back up. Ruoxi!
Quick! Save them!
Come! Be careful! Ruoxi!
Quick!
Ruoxi!
What happened?
Ruoxi, are you alright?
Are you alright?
Ge'ge, are you all right?
Are you alright? Slowly, ge'ge.
Mingyu, are you alright?
Leave!
Ruolan, are you alright?
Ruoxi Jie-jie
Brother-in-law! Leave.
Look at her!
Mingyu!
Shut up!
Stop crying!
I never thought that our Death Seeking 13th Prince would have a sister here.
All right! Nothing happened here.
Let's return to drinking and singing.
Let's go.
Help 13th and 14th Prince change.
Yes.
Send Ge'ge back.
Yes.
Jie'jie
Second Miss
Second Miss, let's go back
Second Miss, the ginger soup is ready. Warm up.
Did Jie'jie come visit me?
Did she say anything?
This afternoon, was I
very scary?
Jie'jie must be angry.
I think that once she calms down,
everything will be all right.
What do you think?
Second Miss, greetings
Jie'jie.
Greetings to Second Miss.
Morning, Jie'jie.
Jie'jie, today's weather is pretty good.
Want to go outside?
I'll accompany you
You want to offer incense? Offering incense is good.
Dongyu, give me a cup of tea.
Yes, Madam. No need.
I'll do it.
Stay here.
Dongyu, help me outside.
Jie'jie. Jie'jie.
Jie'jie, don't be mad.
Talk to me.
Don't ignore me.
Thanks
Today's weather is really good. Yes.
Ruoxi?
10th Prince, 14th Prince, you're here.
Why are you like this?
A broken picture.
I always thought
you were fierce to me,
but it seems
that you're pretty good to me.
When I first saw her,
I thought she was a mesmerizing beauty.
Pity.
What do you mean?
Did you know
you got famous from this one battle?
You're talking about what happened on the birthday celebration
has already spread out?
I guessed.
Good news don't leave the house,
but bad news will spread for thousands of miles.
13th brother is troubled by you.
He's very busy
Me? What does it have to do with me?
Currently, all the princes
once they see 13th brother,
they'll ask
how did you get an extra sister?
All the young masters and princes in the Forbidden City
are talking about you,
Death seeking 13th sister.
God!
No way!
Yeah.
Second Miss, Second Miss
I've finally found you!
Greeting 10th prince and 14th prince.
Greeting Second Miss.
Rise.
Second Miss.
Bei'le wants to see you, he's waiting in the study room.
Bei'le wants to see me?
You may take your leave.
Yes
What is it? Scared now?
10th brother, don't tease her.
Ruoxi, I was just joking.
I'm not afraid of being punished by 8th Prince.
Regarding this matter,
some fault lies with me.
I'm just worried it'll trouble my sister.
Don't be scared.
We'll both help you beg for forgiveness.
Good friends!
What is your opinion regarding this morning's discussion,
in which Chang Shou
was accused of offering amnesty to and recruiting the Guangdong pirate, A'Baowei,
A'Baowei, what's your opinion?
What opinion can we have?
Regarding those pirates who terrorise the seas,
we cannot be soft on them. Unless we kill one as a warning example to the hundred.
Then the rest of them
I'm afraid, will only become even more savage and rampant.
Fourteenth brother, what do you think?
Even though Imperial Father has yet to make any announcement,
but according to my assumption,
Imperial Father has most likely come to a decison already.
I'm afraid Imperial Father agrees with
Chang Vice Minister's idea.
Is that so?
Among these two hundred and thirty-seven pirates,
every one of them are all courageously fierce fighters,
and are extremely familiar with the surrounding waters.
Every one of them are true soldiers.
If we are able to enlist them as our own soldiers,
not only will we be able to increase our naval strength,
it could also demonstrate the awesome, yet dignified manner of our great Qing.
Eighth brother, you should know
that any person who is capable
and willing to serve the country,
Imperial Father will definitey give them a chance.
Then let's submit a document
and help Chang Vice Minister.
Come in.
Master, the sky is gettting dark.
Do I need to prepare the food?
We were so focused on the discussion,
we forgot about the time.
It's already that late?
If you two leave now, it's going to be a hassle.
If there's nothing important,
then eat here.
Okay
Prepare the food.
Yes.
Tenth brotherFourteenth brother
Go ahead, I'll come after.
8th brother, why don't we go together?
Go first.
Lift up your head.
Where did that day's recklessness
go?
Do you still want to stand?
Go back.
Send the Second Miss back to Madam's place.
This Eighth prince
What is the meaning of this?
Is this the end of the matter?
Or has the problem passed?
Greetings Tenth brotherGreetings Fourteenth brother
Ruoxi, how are you?
What's wrong?
I'll take you to find Eighth brother
Why are you guys laughing?
To think I actually wasted my time worrying about you!
Sorry, sorry,
I won't do it again.
Forgive me this once?
Enough, Tenth brother
I am also at wrong. I am at fault.
You still have the cheek to say ?
Who was the one that said he would beg for forgiveness on my behalf?
Listen to me explain.
Eighth brother
is famous for being a gentleman.
In all his interactions with others,
he is unfailingly graceful and kind.
If, at the time you went in
he treated you with politeness,
as if everything was normal
So I had to think
how I were to beg for forgiveness for you.
But afterwards I saw that you
were made to stand for a long time,
so I thought
Done! I knew that no intervention from us was necessary anymore.
True.
Then why didn't you warn me about this?
So I could 'watch the show' of course!
You...
Fourteenth you!
I will remember this.
Alright, now that we've seen her,
and are reassured, it's time to go eat.
Otherwise Eighth brother might really get angered this time!
Alright, I'm hungry too.
We need to go eat. You should go too.
What is the reaction from the Guoluoluo House?
This matter should come to an end here and should be considered of the past.
You needn't worry about it anymore.
All these matters,
Eighth brother will handle it.
You should also be going back now.
Have some of the maids massage your leg for you as well.
Is your leg alright?
Is it severe? Lets go!
Fourteenth brother, what are you doing?
Alright! This -
Jie'jie. I'm back.
Second Miss
Qiaohui.
Instruct the kitchen staff to heat the dishes,
and send them over for Second Miss to eat.
Yes, Madam.
Greetings Fujin.
What's the matter?
I was instructed by Bei'lei
to send food for Second Miss
Your servant will take his leave
Madam, then for our dinner,
do I still need to heat it ?
Since there is food already prepared,
Then you don't have to heat the food
Yes
After eating , help her with her bath
Sleep early
Jie'jie
Looks like Jie'jie is still angry
Second Miss , eat your food while it is hot
You are so timid
You all are here
Eight brother
Have a sit
Okay Okay
Greetings to Eight Prince
You should take a sit also
Eight Prince
I'll be very short. I just wanted to say a few words and then I'll leave.
Standing here is fine.
My words are also not long.
What you want, I can't help you with.
Only the person who tied the knot can undo the knot.
Do you still have something to say?
No.
Then Ruoxi will take her leave now.
Go now.
Sit.
Since I was not able to get helpers.
I'll just have to depend on myself then.
Jie'jie.
Second Miss
Jie'jie!
Tantrums won't work.
Perhaps I should use true feelings to move her.
Jie'jie.
When Mother passed away,
I had just been born.
Ever since I was little, I only remember that
Father called me a trouble maker.
Step-mother disliked my mischieviousness.
As for our other step-siblings,
although I do get along with some of them,
they are after all not my full siblings.
Only you
were from the same womb as me.
Only Jie'jie have never stopped caring for or given up on me.
Ever since I fell from the stair case,
Jie'jie's care,
love, and endurance towards me
I can feel it all.
If I have done anything wrong,
and Jie'jie beats me or scolds me,
I would listen.
But if Jie'jie were to ignore me,
I...
I only have Jie'jie as my family member.
Ruoxi.
Jie'jie, don't be angry at me anymore.
I only have you.
I know I'm wrong. It's my fault.
I've learnt my lesson already.
Madam.
Second Miss knows she's wrong.
You should forgive her.
Ruoxi, Jie'jie is at fault too.
Being angry at you for so long.
I've caused you suffer and hurt.
Madam. Second Miss.
Don't cry.
Ruoxi.
From now on,
you need to change
this fierce temper of yours.
Otherwise,
you might easily get yourself killed
Do you think that Mingyu Ge'ge of the Guoluoluo family is easy to pick on?
If Bei'le had not taken the responsibility of this onto himself,
Di'fujin and those of the E'fu Manor
wouldn't have let you off so easily.
Jie'jie, I was rash and reckless.
I didn't know my place.
I know I'm wrong.
I really know I'm wrong.
Second Miss, be careful.
Second Miss.
Be careful. Don't go up there.
Second Miss, it's very dangerous up there.
Be careful.
Yes, Second Miss. Do it slowly.
It's dangerous, Second Miss.
Please be careful, Second Miss.
Quickly come back down, Second Miss.
Stop the noise.
You'll have to be more careful then, Second Miss.
Second Miss, slow down a bit.
Be careful.
Second Miss. Be careful. Second Miss.
Second Miss!
Somebody help.
Second Miss! Ruoxi!
Second Miss! Second Miss!
Be careful, Second Miss. Hurry and come down. Don't hang it anymore.
Come down quickly, Second Miss.
Ruoxi.
Get down here for me immediately.
Second Miss. Slowly. Slowly.
Be careful.
Jie'jie
You were just pretending to be mature
and now you're acting like a monkey.
Are you rebelling?
Look at you.
How am I going to be relieved and let you enter the palace.
Is the preparative concubine selection event happening now? So early.
There is going to be a selection. Are you qualified enough?
Not yet
The Emperor has decided to hold the banquet for the Mid-Autumn festival in the palace.
The princes will be bringing their families in with them.
The Emperor said
you have to go too.
Me? The Emperor knows me?
I really did gain myself a reputation with a single battle.
Can I not go?
It's an imperial edict.
It's not up to you to decide.
Walk without looking back.
Smile without showing teeth.
Walk evenly.
Not allowed to look around.
Not allowed to look left and right.
Speak, smile and behave with grace.
Jie'jie.
I can't do it.
I really can't do it anymore.
If you're tired already, take a rest then.
The palace rules
about where to change and where to sit.
Where to pay respects and where to start the banquet.
Where to leave the banquet.
Have you remembered them all?
Yes, I have!
This way? Right?
It's the other side.
Get up.
Which ever works.
The Emperor has arrived!
Rise.
The Mid-Autumn Festival
is a time for celebrations
Dispense with the formalities.
Yes.
You.
Go
Your servant, Maertai Ruoxi,greets Your Majesty
You are the one they are calling"death-seeking 13th sister?"
Maertai Ruoxi?
Yes, Your Majesty. It is I
Rise to answer.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Are you nervous meeting me?
Yes
Why?
It's my first time seeing your royal self.
Your majestic grandeur is intimidating.
That's why I'm nervous.
You think I'm intimidating? You're scared of me?
Only a corrupt Emperor would want everyone to fear him.
The great Emperors wanted the respect and love of the people.
No! Your Majesty is a wise ruler, why would I be scared?
It's just that it's my first time in the palace.
It has a very grand atmosphere.
That's why I'm nervous.
A wise ruler?
Look at me.
Why do you think I'm a wise ruler?
Answer me!
He ascended the throne when he was eight and defeated Ao Bai.
He quelled rebellions and uprisings.
No, I can't say these.
These only happen later.
But if I don't speak about politics, what can I say?
Chin Shih-huang and Han Wu-tiwere lacking in literary grace
Tang Tai-tsung and Sung Tai-tsuhad little poetry in their souls
And Genghis Khan, proud Son of Heaven,
Knew only shooting eagles, bow outstretched
All are past and gone! For truly great men,
Look to this age alone
Is this your answer?
This "death-seeking 13th sister"
is not what they say her to be.
13th Prince,
the way I see it, this 13th sister is no match for you.
It's only false reputation.
Replying to Imperial Father,
Ruoxi is stubborn and willful
and she's also intelligent and obedient.
If I had such a sister,
I thought I wouldn't lose face.
But in the face of Your Majesty
she can't even stand up.
It is impolite.
look like I have to revoke her
death-seeking 13th sister nickname
I'm used to hearing people tell me only the good things.
Ruoxi's words, on the other hand, are rather fresh.
It looks like not only are you
death-defying. You're also well-read.
Reward her.
Yes
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's a night of reunion.
The sages have said that one's country comes before family.
But to me,
there can be no country without family.
Much less the entire world.
If the Imperial Family isn't at peace
it heralds unrest for the country.
So all of you must remember my words well.
Carve it in your minds,
the link between the duties of a ruler, and the relationship amongst brothers.
Come, accompany me.
Let us drink a round of reunion wine.
Come.
Come, come.
Take your seats and relax.
Dispense with formalities for tonight.
Why have you broken out in cold sweat?
His Majesty praised and rewarded you.
And he did it in front of everyone.
You've passed this hurdle.
I know that I have crossed this hurdle.
But there's such a thin line between life and death.
Thinking about it, I'm still scared.
The selection for handmaidens is coming.
You will have to enter the palace sooner or later.
Imperial Father, your son offers his congratulations.
Wishing you a prosperous country and a home full of children and grand children.
Not bad, not bad. Good.
Drink up.
You sure know how to talk.
Imperial Father, auspicious words
have all been spoken by my brothers.
So I'll just wish you a long and healthy life.
Look at this.
He cannot remember poetry and literature
so he speaks common words.
Though they are common words, they are sincere.
He's at the marriagable age, isn't he?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The Ninth Prince married his first wife at this age.
It's time to pick a wife for the 10th Prince.
It's at that age.
Jing Ge'ge recently mentioned to me about her daughter, Mingyu.
She wants my help in finding a suitable groom.
In my opinion,
they are rather compatible.
Compatible, indeed.
Father, I'm still young.
Still young?
You're as tall as a horse, how can you still be young?
Fourth and Eighth brothers both married a Ce'fujin first.
Why not,
grant me a Ce'fujin first?
Nonsense.
Is making Mingyu Ge'ge your Di'fujin
embarrassing for you?
I deserve death.
What I meant was
I'm only...
I mean that...
I was thinking...
It's just...
Imperial Father.
In my opinion,
10th brother is just finding this abrupt.
Which is why he can't come up with a response.
When he's sober,
he'll probably be over the moon.
10th brother, hurry and thank Imperial Father.
Your son thanks Imperial Father.
Mingyu, hurry come and thank His Majesty.
Guoluoluo Mingyu
thanks Your Majesty.
Please rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.Thank you, Father.
Your Majesty, look at how compatible they are.
Congratulations, 10th brother.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Congratulations, 10th brother.
Thank you, thank you everyone.
Thank you, everyone.
Congratulations.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Congratulations.
Why?
Isn't he a prince?
Doesn't he have a high status?
Why is it that someone with such a status
has lost something most precious?
Freedom...
Is this the fate of everyone in the Forbidden City?
Who will I be married to?
A prince? A general? Or...?
Second Miss.
Ruoxi.
What's wrong?
Bring her back to her room for now.
Ruoxi is not your average weak lady.
You don't have to worry too much.
Give her some time.
I'll leave first.
Goodbye, Bei'le.
Why is it that our fates
can be decided by a single word from the Emperor?
Why have I been brought here?
If I was born in the Qing Dynasty,
I may resign myself to this fate.
But I've lived in a modern society for 25 years.
The education I have recieved,
taught me that my destiny is in my own hands.
Now I'm suddenly told
that everything is left up to fate.
Resign myself to fate? I will never do that.
