Episode 7
I have investigated and verified,
the incident involving Crown Prince improperly using tributes
was caused by vicious people
who used the Crown Prince's name
to fool the public and commit evil acts
All people involved
will be arrested by Ministry of Justice
Thank you, Imperial Father, for finding out the truth
and returning my innocence
Crown Prince, although you are not guilty,
you are still at fault
You didn't watch your subordinates
and spoiled them
As the saying goes, "Use people you know"
that is the right way to rule a country
I will remember Imperial Father's words
From now on, I will pay more attention
The words Imperial Father just used
"Use people you know"
made me realize something
What did you realize?
The officials who filed against me
I believe
they are all very courageous
and righteous
loyal officials who won't fight for power
They are great subjects of our Qing empire
They should be rewarded especially
10th brother
The South Sea is deep and wide
because it humbly accepts every creek and stream
Though the Mount of Wu'yue is mighty in size
it doesn't forsake even a grain of dirt
Crown Prince, to have such a heart
is a fortune for the empire and its people
I will allow it
All court officials will increase in rank
The 10th brother will be rewarded with 1000 taels
I, thank my Imperial Father
Thank you, Imperial Father
Imperial Father, I've learnt from my bitter experience
In the incident involving tributes
I have been repeatedly considering
besides the fact that I have not done enough
what other reasons would there befor others to misunderstand me
and believe that I would deceive the Majesty and commit a traitorous act
Then, what have you come up with?
The reason could be
the lack of communication between the princes and relationships are weak
So that they would misunderstand
and such things happened
It is very pitiful
Fragments in brotherly relationships
are not something parents are happy to see
Therefore to preserve the relationship between princes
I want to ask Imperial Father
to allow all the princes to join Imperial Father on the expedition
Crown Prince, you have just spoke my own heart
The wise once said, only when brothers and families fight with one heart, can they win the battle
All of you princes must write that upon your hearts
We understand
Then the rewards and the expedition will be organized by Crown Prince
4th prince
you're in charge of helping
Yes
4th brother
Did you see how happy Imperial Father was earlier?
4th brother
When you said Imperial Father wouldn't punish me
I didn't dare believe it
I thought 4th brother was just comforting me
I never thought
that 4th brother would understand Imperial Father's heart better than me
Imperial Father has always been lenient
especially towards Crown Prince
If Imperial Father was not impressed by you
he would never have let you inherit the Great Commission
You said it well
Today's battle
if 4th brother wasn't my adviser
I wasn't confident in turning defeat into victory
and win so beautifully
thereby letting Eigth Brother and his gang suffer a defeat that great
Crown Prince is exaggerating
I just want to help Crown Prince and Imperial Father solve problems
and not let it become a commotion
and affect everyone's feelings
Fourth brother
you care about our brotherly relationship
But Eighth prince and his gang
are totally different from you
I believe this problem
has nothing to do with 8th Brother
It's all because 10th brother spoke reacklessly
Crown Prince clearly knows
10th brother is straightforward
and doesn't think deeply
4th Brother
Sometimes,
you think too kindly of others
You can't lack a suspicion of others (Chinese idiom)
If someone sold you
would you help the person who sold you count money?
This problem
I don't think it's that simple
I think Imperial Father also has the same thoughts
Why do Crown Prince say so?
With how entangled the tributes incident and I are,
you think Father doesn't know?
Today, Imperial Father did not punish me
Do you know why?
Why?
Other than what you've just said
Imperial Father wants to remind everyone
especially 8th brother's group
Tell them
who is the future master of the Qing empire
Actually Imperial Father
wants to use this chance
and tell everyone a fact
that is to warn them
to stay within the boundaries
Even if I don't take revenge
on what had happened today,
I will need to teach them a lesson
4th brother
Do you have any plan?
In the time when Imperial Father and Crown Prince is out the capital
Crown Prince suggested to Imperial Father
to temporarily let me supervise
Looks like Crown Prince is starting to trust 8th brother
10th Brother!
What is your brain filled with?
Have you forgotten your relationship with 8th brother?
You have just offended him in front of our Imperial Father
Do you think the Crown Prince would be that magnanimous?
I... Thats what I don't understand
This is just the Crown Prince's attempt to shoot two birds with one stone
and deal with us
What does that means?
Asking 8th brother to temporarily rule
is only a trick
No matter how trivial an issue seems,
8th brother will have to inform Imperial Father who would be away on expedition
If 8th brother makes a mistake
Crown Prince will have an advantage
and make a commotion
He purposely gave 8th brother only rubber-stamp power
The point is
to not let us go on the expedition
So that they can spread
all sorts of rumors in front of Imperial Father
That makes sense
A rumor repeated thrice becomes the truth
We're not allowed to accompany
and also let us understand the difference in relations
we can only watch then
I think Crown Prince is subtly telling us
that if we don't become obedient
he will deal with us
Imperial Father most values
peace between us brothers
The Crown Prince employed the technique of being magnanimous
which is what Imperior Father had hoped for
He's got a trick up his sleeve
But so do we
At that time when we are not under strict control
the capital would be ours
We can do whatever we like
Shut up!
I...
Did I say something wrong again?
Crown Prince wants us to do just that
That way, we make mistakes more easily
This trick of Crown Prince is really vicious
The vicious one isn't Crown Prince
Then... Then who is it?
Jie'jie
this tea set is so intricate
Did you design it?
If Eunuch Li didn't find someone to make it
This tea set couldn't have been made
This time when His Majesty and the princes go
with Jie'jie's tea set to drink tea,
they will definitely be happy
Jie'jie, do you want to go with everyone?
Don't you want to go?
To think of the scenery on the prairies
and the refreshing weather
Of course I want to go
Go then
Jie'jie still has to use this tea set to serve tea
otherwise it would be a pity
Yes
It isn't that pitiful
As long as the person using the tea set is happy,
then it's okay
Why don't we go ask Eunuch Li?
I am wondering how to ask
so that he will let us go
Ruoxi Jie'jie
There's good news
Teacher said Jie'jie can go on the expedition
Really?
Of course
Of Course. How about us?
You guys will go along with Jie'jie
Wonderful!
Eunuch Li is such an understandable person
He takes care of us well
This is not because of Teacher
I heard it was suggested by a Prince
and His Majesty did not reject it
Prince? Which prince?
Seems like it was Fourth prince and Thirteenth prince
4th prince wouldn't care about this
It must be Thirteenth prince
Of course, 13th prince knows me best
Don't think about it, Jie'jie
It's so great that we can go together!
Of course we must thank Eunuch Wangxi
Servant don't dare. Servant don't dare
Servant will leave
Ruoxi
Greetings, Fourth prince Greetings, Thirteenth prince
Rise
You're always trying to avoid me.
Your servant wouldn't dare
I was just in thought
wondering which flower suits which tea
I did not see Fourth prince
I didn't mean to avoid you
Do you know what the consequence of lying to a prince is?
I did not lie
Ruoxi
I also don't know what kind of consequence
Why don't you try?
Fourth brother, I think...
you shouldn't use these jokes on her
You're too intimidating
She'll be scared before she can laugh
Ruoxi, you know..
This time, it was 4th prince that asked
I was only next to him and said few good words
to give you a chance to go out
Even if you don't repay our kindness,
you don't have to pretend that we don't exist
No wonder 4th brother is teaching you a lesson
I am thankful for 4th prince's kindness
I just haven't had the chance to repay it
Is that so?
Yes, if there is a chance
I will definitely repay your kindness
If you have no further instructions,
I shall take my leave first
Wait
The expedition is different from the palace
You won't have access to everything
and you cannot replace things immediately
So you have to be more careful
Bring more of the necessary tea leaves
Place it in two carts in case anything goes wrong
I understand
Go and prepare then
I will take my leave
4th brother, since when did you start to
bother about tea, these small matters
As long as it is part of my duty
I can't afford to be careless
Later go find 8th brother
and see if he needs anything
It's best to take care of it
before we leave
It's not easy to supervise a country
As long as we can help with anything within our limits
we should do so and help him
and not let the Imperial Court have any disturbance
I understand
Come in
Greetings, Eighth prince
Dispense with ceremony
It's the first time I've visited where you live
it is peaceful
Right now, I am the head officer lady
The place where I live can't be too shabby
I live in this place with Yutan
It's her shift today
I understand
Hey, Ruoxi
Why did you tell him that?
Are you hinting something?
Ruoxi
What is it?
This expedition
I have to stay in the capital
I understand.
This is the first time you're going
and the journey is long
Be careful
Don't worry
I've been in the palace for a while
I'm no longer the Ruoxi who
just entered the palace and didn't know anything
What I can do and what I can't
I already know
These couple of years,
you did better than I thought you would've
I never thought
Imperial Father and Li Dechuan
would value you so
But I still worry
that one day
you'll lose your temper
You have to give up something
to gain something
Otherwise
how can I live here
neither can I peacefully
talk here
To gain something,
you must first give something
Master
Yes
I am leaving now.
What do you want most?
And what are you willing to give up for it?
Fu'jin
Bei'le, you're back
Bei'le Bei'le
You haven't come over in a long time
Bei'le Bei'le Bei'le
What must I do for you to forgive me?
Bei'le
Please forgive Minghui this one time
Let go
Bei'le
From now on, I promised to do whatever you want me to do.
I won't do anything that will make you unhappy again
What is going on?
Nothing
You say it
Say it!
In the days that Bei'le didn't come over
Di'fujin would listlessly wait for Bei'le
and everyday
would personally make soup for Bei'le
and hope that Bei'le can drink it when you come over
This injury was when she was making soup
and accidently burned herself
Does it still hurt?
No
Can you forgive me?
It has already passed
I finally got what I've waited for
I've been waiting for this sentence for so long
waited so bitterly
I was afraid that Bei'le would ignore me forever
I know I'm wrong
I shouldn't be selfish
I shouldn't be so petty.
But I'm wholehearted towards Bei'le
I cannot live without Bei'le
After Bei'le reprimanded me
I have thought it over and over
When Bei'le didn't come see me,
I felt like I would die
I didn't hate you
Don't imagine things
As long as Bei'le will forgive me
and not ignore me,
I am willing to do anything you want
Even if your heart
does not belong entirely to me
I won't mind
I am willing to do anything for Bei'le
You have already done enough
No, I didn't do well enough
I know
I will change and I will change again
So that Bei'le will have no regrets
With you in this family, I am reassured
I know in my heart
of all the things you've done for me
Today, you are my Di'fujin
and you forever will be
No one can replace you
Ruoxi, what are you thinking about?
Thirteenth prince
how long until we get there?
Not far
This place is great. Beautiful scenery
How is that good?
If I tell you
in the future, grass will not grow here
and it'll become a desert
What do you think?
This place looks just fine
Why would it suddenly become a desert?
Because of human ignorance
and selfish greed
You're too pessimistic
I think you're tired from these two days of journey
and start to imagine things again
Thirteenth prince, teach me how to ride a horse
Why do you suddenly change the topic?
I feel that being on horseback
and riding freely
is another joyous thing
Last time, because I couldn't ride
10th prince still laughs at me
Okay
You are currently
Imperial Father's favorite
Who would dare teach you?
If you happen to fall and get injured
I can't handle it
Don't use this tactic
You don't use this tactic
I don't care
You promise!
Wait until we get to the plains
I'm leaving, see you at the plains
Good
Quick! Go that way! Quick!
Give me, give me! Quick!
Give me
Apologies
Your martial arts skills is very good
You exaggerate
What are you looking at?
I am looking
the one who rode so well
turns out to be a girl
What
do you think the victory isn't as satisfying because I'm a girl?
No, I was just thinking
What should I care what you think about
Anyway, today I was defeated by you
it is unrelated to gender, understand?
I know
It's good that you know
From your clothes,
you're a Qing official?
I am only a small official
You are the first person from China
to defeat me
It's just luck. Just luck
Winning is winning, losing is losing
What's with the luck talk
I'll take you as a friend
It is my fortune
My name is
Saren
Miss Yueliang (Moonlight), hi
You understand Mongolian?
A little
Then, what is your name?
My name is
Star
May we meet again
Star
Too bad I'm not moonlight
I greet Imperial Father
I was riding on my horse
and forgot the time
please forgive me
We are a horseback tribe
Our ancestors blood flows within us
Seeing such a large plain
and wanting to ride
Is perfectly normal
What is there to forgive? Rise
Thank you, Imperial Father
Earlier, Imperial Father said
of all the princes,
you're the one most similar to a wild horse
Imperial Father, you sure know how to tease
Greetings, Your Majesty
Looks like, Ruoxi came here
to show me something interesting again
Yes
How perceptive, Your Majesty
I just think Your Majesty is probably thirsty
so I prepared some chilled juice
But, I don't know if Your Majesty
like to try some?
Alright. Bring it here then
I'll reward you if it's good
If its not good, I will punish
All is up to Your Majesty
Your Majesty
You've definitely put thought into this
I've never had anything prepared like this
Magnolia
Grapes
I want to see what else
you have prepared
Why haven't I seen this before?
Your Majesty
Ruoxi made some drawings earlier
I thought it looked good
So I'd sent some eununchs
to make them into china
How many different designs?
36 in total
But I've only brought these ones
on the trip
When you have the chance,
I want to see the other designs
All right
How rare that you'd have such talent and heart
What would you like as a reward?
Even though the original designs were mine,
I couldn't have done without the others
Your servant would't dare taking all the credit
Alright. Rewards for everyone then
Thank you, Your Majesty
Now can you tell me
what you'd like as a reward?
When I saw Your Majesty's
heroic moves on the horse
I was in much admiration and envy
So I want to learn riding a horse myself
Though I wouldn't hope to match even a thousand of Your Majesty
I would be happy
with just knowing how to ride a horse
She's flattering just to learn how to ride a horse
I'll grant your wish
Thank you, Your Majesty
We got so much silver in reward!
Silver is nothing
What's important is our reputation
That's right. These are personal rewards from the Majesty himself
It's a first since I've arrived at the palace
I don't know how to thank you, Jie'jie
Alright. Alright
Don't thank me anymore
You guys deserved it
We know how well Jie'jie
treats us
We'll definitely do our best to serve Jie'jie from now on
That's right!
We'll definitely look out for anything
regarding you, Jie'jie
So, it should be me thanking you guys
Let's all help each other in the future
Jie'jie
Eunuch Wang
What rewards got you to smile so widely?
I wouldn't dare to be so frivolous in front of Jie'jie
no matter what reward I've got
The Monglian Lord just met with His Majesty
and gifted him with two precious horses
The Emperor was so happy,
he decided to have a feast tonight
That's such happy news
The people of the prairie are always so hospitable and loving
They love dancing as well
It's going to be fun tonight
I drink to you. Let's drink
No. Don't. Don't
Such passion in her singing
Do you know what she's singing about?
I don't understand Mongolian either
Let's see how a stoic person like you
will handle such fiery passion
Yu'tan, can you find out
who this girl is?
Ok. Let's go
You really are expressionless
You've got me
Moon
Star
Jie'jie
She's the daughter of the Mongolian Lord
Min'min, Su'wan Guuwalgiya
A famous beauty among the prairies
May I dance for Your Majesty?
Alright
Thank you, Your Majesty
That's great
If I had stayed
by the side of mom and dad
Would I have less regrets?
What's on your mind,
here all by yourself?
Just thinking of my parents
Greetings Fourth princeGreetings Thirteenth prince
Please rise
What are you guys doing out here too?
We drank too much just now
Just getting some fresh air
How did the drunkards let you guys off so easily?
We said we had to "take care of business" How couldn't they?
It's been a while since I've been out
I should go back now
We should be getting back too
Ruoxi
Those new tea sets you've made
really pleased Imperial Father
But why did you make mine
with plum blossoms?
Because the next 10 years of your life
will be like a plum blossom
Fragrant from the bitter cold
Plum blossoms are among the Four Noble Flowers
Why? You don't like it?
I just think it's weird,
why you chose the Magnolia for 4th brother
which is his favorite
Just thought to ask
You didn't tell me what you like
So of course I just picked one at random
But you never asked me either
I'll take leave now
She left just like that
Yup. She left
You're the one who noticed she was gone earlier
Yup
That's why I left with you to find her
And now you don't even say a thing
Leaving me with the dust in my face
You are the one who was worried
I was the one who accompanied you
Yes. That's right
Miss Ruoxi
Please call just call your servant Ni'man
General Ni'man boasts such great horsemanship
I've heard of your reputaion
What an honor to have you, General
Miss Ruoxi, you are too polite
Even though I don't know how to ride a horse
I've sat on one
You can just teach me how to ride
I think it'd be safer if your servant
just pulls the horse
Greetings, 4th Prince
Greetings, 13th Prince
Greetings
You're excused
How have your lessons been?
I just learned how not to fall while sitting on a horse
You can leave now
Yes
He was hardly teaching me how to ride
Just totally treating me like a kid
Don't say that
Even kids would ride better than you
Wouldn't you say so, 4th brother
Why don't you, 13th Prince, teach me to ride then
Since you've already said yes
When did I say yes?
When we got here
Now that we're actually here
and the Emperor has given his permission
how can you not?
4th brother
She's using Imperial Father against me
That's a heavy weight to carry
Alright. Alright
We have to get back now to eat dinner with Father
Maybe at night. At night I will teach you when I'm free
Ok. Thanks
Your servant will leave now
What a job you've just put on yourself
I...
Teaching girls how to ride. That's not really my forte
Yu'tan. Yun'xiang
I won't be here tonight
Please serve the Emperor well
It's hot out, so prepare the tea mild and chill it
Ok. Jie'jie just go ride at ease
We will take care of it
Excuse me, is Miss Ruoxi here?
Who is it? Come in
Your servant under Bei'le's orders
has brought these to Miss Ruoxi
Did 8th Prince say anything else?
Bei'le said,
When Miss Ruoxi see others riding horses
while she can't
she will definitely learn herself
So he has it all prepared for you
No wonder sisters know each other the best
It must be your sister
who asked Bei'le to send these
Of course
Your sister is so perceptive
knowing Miss Ruoxi likes to move around
Bei'le also asked
for Miss to be careful
I got it. Please leave them here for me
Come with me
He's really perceptive
It's good to be early
So nice, just to lie here and look at the stars
It's nice to just lie here and look at the stars
Why don't you join me?
I got sleepy waiting for you. Teach me tomorrow then
Tonight,
let's just lay here
and enjoy the stars. That works
Greetings, Fourth Prince
You're excused
Where's 13th Prince?
The Crown Prince wanted 13th
So I've come in place of him
I'll go back then
13th Prince can teach me another time
You think I can't teach you?
No!
I'm just tired
Alright. Let's just lie here then
and look at the stars
I'm...not sleepy anymore
Get on the horse
Straighten your back. Tighten your grip
Grab firmly with your hands
Steer with your reins
Pull this way. Pull this way
Hold on tight
Be careful
Back straight Tighten your grip
Turn this way. Turn this way
Jie'jie, what's wrong?
You were so happy when you left
why so tired now?
Are you tired?
Very tired
Why couldn't the 13th Prince been more gentle?
13th Prince didn't teach me today
4th Prince did
4th Prince? He has great horsemanship
You're lucky
to have him teach you
It's very easy
for a stupid student
to make a strict teacher angry
If something goes wrong
he might turn against you,
and think that you've lost his face
If there's anything that upsets him,
there will be grave consequences
No way
Though the 4th Prince is quite serious,
he can't be that severe
If Jie'jie is struggling to learn, surely
the 4th Prince wouldn't strike you with his thunderbolts
That's right
I might be clever,
but he's even worse
Never mind. You won't get it
You're too worried
Even the Emperor
is impressed by you
Let alone the 4th Prince
Never mind. I'm going to sleep now
I'll blow the lights out
It's alright. I'll do it myself
I don't hope for achievements, just for no mistakes
Just to not get on his bad side
As for horse-riding,
it definitely can't be with the 4th prince
To have a mysterious time bomb by your side
It's such a torture
