Episode 12
It isn´t hot enough
I want boiling water
Baozhu, today I have to use you
Listen
At your majesty's service.
When Crown Prince comes in,
Spill the tea on my right shoulder like an accident
I must be scalded.
How to do it in a credible way.
Figure it out yourself
have you understood?
your servant has understood
You're excused.
you´d better go back
Greetings Crown Prince
Rise
I never thought..
that Miss Ruoxi would be here
Oh.. I remember
Your Jie´jie is 8th brother´s wife
it is understandable that you have a close relationship
Before I entered the Palace
I lived with the 8th prince for a year
I know 8th Prince has good medicine
I just come here to get some
what happened to your hands?
nothingwhen I rode this morning
was fortunately caught by the rope
I have also some good medicine in my place
I order someone to give you it
Thank you Crown Prince
Miss how long have you been here
because of I have talked a bit with 8th Prince
it´s has been a while time ago
I don´t know Crown Prince would be here
I have been late for your welcome
Rise
tonight I am just bored
so I´d just drop by
don´t be so formal
here come in
your servant deserves to dieyour servant deserves to die
you bastard! Is this how you do your job?
you can´t even hold a cup of tea
someoneyes
give him some lashingsgo
go
master forgive me go
someone call the Imperial psychiatrist
just way that Bei´le Ye has been scalded by tea
spare me
8th brother are you alright?
thanks for the care
Miss Ruoxi has just gotten some medicine
And now 8th brother needs some for scalding.
This is too coincidental.
that girl is reckless since she was a child
has even given a bad role model for my servants
I scared you
8th brother
or do you love to read?
I am just bored tonight
suddenly I have read over half the parts
oh.. yes
I have just heard some noises outside
the servant told me that there has been a Mongel thief around
Have you found the thief?
It makes me mad just to talk about it
so many guards
couldn't even catch
a thief
forget it
8th brother is hurt, go to bed early
I should go too
Dispense with the ceremony
My lord, from the prince's expression,
he seems to be suspicious of you
Will he report this matter to the emperor?
He shot the arrow in the dark
Naturally, he wouldn't know who the arrow hit
don't worry
he couldn't catch the theif
he couldn't tell if the mongul theif is 14th brother for sure
If he alarms the emperor,
nothing good will come out for him
Be careful!
NO!!
Older sister, what is wrong?
I had a dream
why don't we sleep together?
there is no need
nothing happened, you should sleep
then I will go back
call me if you need anything
you have me in your mind
you really do
I thought I could distance myself
that with the knowledge of the future, I wouldn't be so silly
however, I just can't control myself
The past few years,
every little moment of it,
just like the bracelet on my arm,
unknowingly became an inseparable
part of my life
Whether history can be changed or not
Maertai Ruoxi, its up to you
Imperial Father, that servant
was unsteady while walking
with a clumsy movement,
one cup of boiling hot tea spilt on 8th brother's arm
From my perspective,
anyone who dares to scalds a prince
punishment by hitting with twenty strokes,
is considered too light
what did the Imperial Physician say?
its just hot water scalding
it is not as bad as Crown Prince said
I made Imperial Father worry
For these few days you don't need to follow the expedtion
take care of the wound well
go
thank you Imperial Father I will take my leave
last night
have you caught that thief yet?
did anyone lose anything?
no
however, because it was discovered in a timely fashion
nothing is missing
then do you know
the Monguls are not happy
the horse thief you described was dressed like a Mongul
but you didn't find anything
In my haste,
I didn't give sufficient consideration to everything
I will accept Imperial Father's punishment
In the future, when dealing with matters
you must always think carefully before acting
Yes
aren't you going to drink?
it is still worth it
at least he is this happy
I will bring some book for you
I don't want to look at anything
I just want you to be with me
I am on duty today
I have to prepare tea and snacks soon
or else what would the Emperor drink when he comes back?
moreover
I want to go check out 14th prince
I will stay for a bit
I wish that you will always be this willing and delighted to accompany me
I have thought about this for a long time already
I really should go
if I don't let you go now
you won't come again next time go
go
don't go meet with 14th brother right now
he is staying at Ming Ming's which is safe
wait for a few days
when the Crown Prince is not on the alert anymore, to vist him
if you guys are done discussing
why not have him leave a little early
that would be the safest plan for all
we have already discussed most of the stuff
but the Crown Prince must be thinking
Since the camp grounds have been searched
but the thief couldn't be found
if it really is 14th brother,
he would want to return to the capital
Crown Prince must have arranged guards to catch him
why don't we wait for a few more days
when the Crown Prince is no longer suspicious, we will visit
this way it would be much safer
I will wait for you tonight
Miss Ruoxi walk well
Let me love him whole heartedly
so that he will fall head over heels in love with me
tell me more
you two were childhood sweethearts who knew each other from young
how can there be so little memories?
Ge'ge
things that I have should and should not be telling you
have all been said already
I don't believe it
if you don't tell me,
I will ask Ruoxi when she comes
ok ok
Ruoxi is gonna be here soon
you should tidy your appearance
get me some hot water
yes
you don't need to do that
You don't need to be so courteous to me
When Ruoxi comes, and sees your dishevelled appearance
she will scold me for not taking better care of you
Ge'ge, water is here
give it to him
yes
Thank you. I'll help myself
Why do you wash your face this way?
Ge'ge, you may not have realised,
but recently my skin has been more sensitive
So I can only wash lightly
Are you alright?
Let me take a look. I'm fine
I'm fine. Let me take a look
Don't run
let me take a look
I can't see
its nothing
What are you doing?
I can't see take the towel off
What are you trying to do?
Ge'ge
Miss Ruoxi says that she isn't free to come over tonight
She'll come over and greet you another day
You can go
Yes
What's she so busy with for the whole day?
Perhaps, after serving the emperor, she is feeling exhausted
Then tell me more about you and Ruoxi
Alright
Hurry up!
Eighth prince
I'm so delighted to see you!
Moving your arm must be inconvenient
why are you still playing with this?
I am just moving my fingers it doesn't require much effort
Anyway, the burn isn't that serious
How is Bao'zhu?
He should be able to withstand the beatings
I will read for you
OK
Ruoxi
Tell me
When did you change your mind
and accept me?
8th Prince, that is not important
the important thing is
I have already made a decision
Which book do you want to listen?
anything is fine
give more effort
Wangyé Min Min Ge´ge is really direct
Your majesty has embarassed us.
Since Min Min is a little girl, I've been spoiling her.
As to the concept of "Rules"
She only knew how to spell thathow to pronounce that
thats how the girls of grass land should be
My son, however, knew nothing about protocals.
He even chased the thief to Mongolia's camp.
Too reckless
That day, I was worried about
Father and his highness's safety.
Fearing some unlaws has broken into our two countries' camp.
I was so driven by the concern that conducted such wrong thing.
I hope your highness not to blame me. The water is under the bridge.
Your royal highness is exaggerating.
For the safety of the Emperor these things should be worried
Do not let go any clues to those unlaws.
Crown Prince should make the apology.
Crown Prince, you should learn from this incident.
I will keep that in mind.
I want to clime high onto the mountain, or see you off by a river.
I will hold Seven-String bronze instrument.
And see you traveling far away.
Ruoxi, Ruoxi
See? I'm really nice to you.
He said you once sang for him.
That is when he fell for you.
Now I made him sing for you.
I seem to earn you back something.
Ge'ge, you told me to sing so i did it
since Ruoxi is here already
can you leave the two of us alone for a bit
to catch up on lost times.
You just can't any wait any longer
OK. I am leaving take your time
This time I have to thank you
How long have we known each other
since so many years before
if you thank me again it'll be distancing us.
Even if I were not there
your crew will make sure you are safe
I just happen to pass by
I heard 8th brother got burned by hot water is that true?
it is true He will meet with you soon
Why don't you ask him yourself
Where are we meeting?
In the forest where the Monguls stay
Ok. I got it
Then you be careful, be quick
Why is he going out?
He will be returning to the capital in a few days
He wants to say goodbye to some friends
and thank them for taking care of me
Teach me how to sing.
Okay.
Does 13th Prince like operas?
Yes he does.
13th Prince has a great sense of music
He is especially good at flutes and stringed instruments.
He is famous for that among the Capital's elites.
I would love to hear that.
Ruoxi, come on. Tell me.
What pieces does 13th Prince love to play?
Who will he play for?
I have never heard him play.
If there is an expedition next year
and both you and 13th prince are around
I will definitely ask him to perform a tune for you
Really?
Do you get along very well with 13th prince?
I have known him for a longtime
we are just like siblings
I envy you you are so close with 13th prince
I promise you
I will definitely let you hear 13th prince personally performing a tune for you
I really hope to be like his wives.
who can hear him playing all the time.
Don't tell me
you are realling willing to share a husband with another woman?
Why you say that?
Capable men deserve to have many wives. Ever since ancient times.
Can there really be only be a husband and one wife spending their life together?
It should have always been this way
Otherwise, it is not good for everyone
Are you not encouraging towards me being with 13th?
I didn't mean it that way
I just feel that
if a girl
can whole heartedly love a man
she would also hope that the man can treat her in the same manner
I don't have that many thoughts like you
I just feel that
if two people in love can be together
Anything else is not a concern
8th brother
I heard you got burned by hot water
sometimes we have to suffer a bit
to get the Crown Prince off our backs
just like you risked your life coming here
this small burn is nothing compared to what you did
14th brother, thanks a lot
why does 8th brother need to be so courteous
after all, you and I are brothers
thanks to youthat we don´t have trouble this time
Crown prince on these days
seems that he has given up on catching the thief
You must be quick to turn back to the capital.
so you avoided being discovered by those who are in the capital
Finally I can go back
these days, I joined Min Min Ge´ge
I have spend a lot of energy
Yes, 8th brother
this time 4th brother's arrangements of officers moving out.
Have you found a way to disolve it?
I know what he thought.
I will take everything into consideration.
You don't have to worry.
I will not stay here for long.
Please rushed back to the Capital.
In case Min Min Ge Ge suspects you.
8th brother, this time me and Ruoxi are fake couples.
But Princess Min Min had said...
Looking at Ruoxi,
she is definitely a woman in love.
You can start calling sister-in-law
then I congratulates 8th brother
Alright, go home quickly
Greetings to sister-in-law
What did you just say?
From this moment on
I should be greeting my sister-in-law
8th brother's dreams have come true
When are you leaving?
Tomorrow night
I can finally get rid of this beard
And regain my handsome good looks
If you want to become handsome again, wait until you are back in the city
I must tell you this
stop fabricating stories to amuse Min'min ge'ge
There'll be oneday I cannot tell lies anymore
She now always follows me to learn to sing
You - a death-seeking 13th sister
still fear of this one?
Sister in law, please spare me
Once already on this history's path, can one seek luck and avoid calamity ?
But i get involved eventually, step by step.
What are we waiting for?
Ge'ge, you will find out very soon
Ge'ge don't worry
8th prince knows about us
Bei'lei ye
You must be very important
You have me and Bei'lei ye sending you off
You flatter me
If you are really sincere
go back and think of a good idea to ask for Ruoxi's hand in marriage
Seeing how troubled she looks,
I am really worried for her
I shouldn't waste anymore time
I should go
I will remember what you did for me
Bei'lei ye, see you
Ge'ge
If I did something wrong one day
Would you forgive me?
Would you still treat me like now?
I don't know
I have to see what you did first
What kind of things will you doto let me down?
Nothing I just asked randomly
Because Ge'ge is of a high status
I'm scared that one day I may unknowingly offend Ge'ge
So i'm asking for your pardon first
How can you say that?
To think that I treat you as a good friend
Don't worry when us girls from grass land make friends
we don't change easily
Thank you Ge'ge
Then Im leaving
Bye
Come sit in my tent
Please stand guard outside
Without my permission
no one is allowed to enter
Yes
When we go back to the capital I will submit my marriage proposal to Imperial Father
Is your arm much better now?
The burn from the hot water was not that serious
It's just that because a prince got injured, the Imperial Physician
was anxious and exaggerated the extent of injury
The arrow wound is being treated by the medicine given by 9th brother
and is healing quickly
I can go back to riding horses after half a month
I will definitely teach you how to ride a horse before we go back to the capital
I will read some books for you
Before entering the palace, you couldn't even read a book of Song'ci
But now you have even finished reading the Compendium of medical herbs
There are not many ladies
who love reading like you
Fortunately, my estate has many books
for you to read
Because when I have nothing much to do
and feeling bored in the palace,
I will just read any book
In the future, I won't ever let you feel bored
I heard from 14th brother
that you once receited a poem for 10th brother I don't know
if I will ever have the good fortune to hear you do the same for me
Waiting for summer, waiting for autumn
Waiting for the next season
I have to wait for the moon to become full again
Before you will be back at my side again
To meet or not to meet
Even if we can't meet, the longing will still be there
I suddenly want to see your face
That familiar feeling
Even if we can't hold hands
we can still stroll through the wind and frost
Even if we can't meet
we will still yearn for each other day and night
I just want to let you know
I'm really good
My love for you will last a lifetime
Even when I'm elderly, I will still wait for you
8th prince
I understand your thoughts and feelings
and will remember it in my heart
Your smile and your goodness is my warmth and reliance
9th brother, would would have thought that the flowers would be blooming so beautifully
Thats right 9th brother 10th brother
Ohh you are back did you meet with 8th brother?
I met him
I told him everything alreadyYou can be rest assured
14th brother
Did you see Ruoxi?
I met her of course I met her
How is she doing?
Good, She couldn't be better
Its good to hear
I was scared that she may think of some crazy ideas
and get into trouble again
Hmph, really!
Whether she gets into trouble or not
why should it bother you?
Us guys are talking why do you meddle in our affair
Ohh, only you can talk and I can't listen?
This...this
If you didn't do something to feel guilty for
What are you so scared of?
I'm not scared
Who said I'm scared?
You're not scared?
You are not scared? You are not scared??
9th brother!! 9th brother!!
Look, you made him angry
If you are still yearning for her,
you could ask His Majesty
and go to the plains right now
Then you're still in time
I...
Who say's I'm yearning for her?
You're yelling over nothing
You're not yearning for her?
The whole world knows about it
14th brother
I haven't seen you visting mother lately Did you go out of town?
Yes. I thought the capital was boring
So I went out of town for a little fun.
Imperial Father is coming back soon
Control yourself.
Crown Prince and 8th brother have accompanied for several months
I wonder how they are
Yes
Yes, since Imperial Father won't let us communicate
no one knows the situations of Crown Prince and 8th brother
Go visit mother when you are free
14th brother
should have met with 8th brother already
It must've been about the movement of officials
This movement is disadvantageous to 8th brother
If he knows
he would definitely interfere
Because of the Crown Prince incident, 8th brother
was scolded by Imperial Father for allying with officials
This time, even if he knows,
he probably won't do much
On this document, most of it is Crown Prince's people
We just added our own Nian Gengyao
With 8th brother's personality
he should benefit us somewhat.
He would use all his power
to subdue Crown Prince
Greetings to Imperial Father
Get up
Thank you Imperial Father
Is your wound healing well?
Thank you for caring, Imperial Father
Even riding a horse will not be a problem
in a few days
Rest for a few more days
Don't rush it
I will remember
When the Imperial physician gave me the prescription,
he sighed
if there was water from the Medicinal Spring
it would be a great remedy for burns
Medicinal Spring?
Are you talking about the one in Xining?
I've heard that this spring
have been buried for years
It was later discovered by Yingtai's soldiers and unburied
I've heard Yingtai
coincidentally heard the rumors
and was determined to unbury this spring
to help the people
He really means well
No wonder in the Court,
he has such a great reputation
I have also heard
Yingtai and you have a good relationship
He often praises
8th Bei'le as kind and intelligent
I am only a Bei'le
I dare not accept the words kind and intelligent
Yingtai's clean reputation
is not said by me
I've just heard him praised this way
I've only heard of it
But, talking about Tang Jie,
Na Li is also considered one
Na Li is a clean offical
He's been in Fujian for less than two years,
but he has a great reputation amongst the commoners
Na Li is a talent
Imperial Father
Before I came out on this expedition
I've also observed Nian Gengyao
Although of low birth,
he is intelligent
and of open-minded character.
If there is a chance,
I want to recommend him
to work for Imperial Father
Also, Jiang Qi is not bad
Jiang Qi? He could definitely be useful
If there is a chance, let's go find more
people like them
to work for the Court
Na Li is one of Crown Prince's allies
Nian Gengyao is one of 4th prince's
He's so careful to include everyone else's allies,
It would be hard for the Emperor to be suspicious
4th brother
I've seen 4th prince
Excused
Imperial Father has ordered
he will change this document of movement of officials
How did this happen?
The names of officals have already been written
His Majesty is far away
Why would he change plans now?
I am sure it's a result of 8th brother's doing
Also due to 14th brother's audacity
to run to the expedition
to give 8th brother the news
4th brother,
will this movement affect us a lot?
No matter how the document is changed
Gengyao's name
has always been on top of the document
This time, he will become the inspector-general of Si'chan
Looks like Imperial Father really likes you
General Nian
Your position in Court is stable now
From a novice in Hanglin
to today's position
is all due to Master's advice
Greetings to 4th prince (introduces herself as 4th's wife)
and 13th prince
Greetings to you, my sister.
Please rise, brother
Thank you, sister
If brother is coming,
why didn't you order a servant to inform me?
I would've prepared the food you like to eat
I'll order the kitchen...
No need. Today I'm here
to discuss business with Wang'ye
I have to leave immediately
You have to leave so quickly?
General Nian
There's no rush to complete business in this hour.
Since you're here
don't be in a rush to leave
I happen to have something to get from the study
You two siblings should have a good conversation
Thank you, Wang'ye
13th brother
Brother, this way
Please
When you return this time,
you must perform to the best of your ability.
Accomplish something soon.
Don't disappoint Imperial Father's hopes for you
I will definitely not disappoint
Wang'ye
I have always been straight forward
and cannot hold in my words
Please forgive my presumptuousness.
General Nian, you and I are of one mind.
If you have something to say, say it
Thank you, Wang'ye
My sister has been blessed with your deep affection
and been titled Ce'fujin
I am grateful beyond words
But I've just seen my sister's
utterly depressed and gloomy countenance.
As her brother, I cannot help but be in pain
Ever since she was young,
she was spoiled by me
Ever since she's entered Wang'ye's estate
She is focused entirely on Wang'ye
She was just... Nian Gengyao!
I understand that you love your sister
but things that happen within the 4th prince's household
I will take care it
Please forgive me I don't dare
All of my glory today,
after I have secured the army,
I will definitely repaid Wang'ye
Are you willing to
die for me?
I will without regrets
Good I promise you
As long as I am alive
There will only be you in the palace
Nian Geng Yao thank Wang'ye
I will take my leave
Reporting to Master,
the bird's nest of highest quality you ordered has arrived.
Order the servants to begin preparations.
I will go to Nian Fei's wing to dine and sleep
Yes, master.
Then which wife's home should this bird's nest be delivered?
Is it...
to be sent to Ce Fujin's?
Send it to Manchuria.
Do you think
there really was a Kuafu who chased the sun?
That's a myth, a fable.
Then do you think
there really was such a person?
Tell me.
I think... there wasn't.
I think there was!
Then there was.
Then I think there wasn't!
But it doesn't seem real,
it is true
because many people are like Kuafu.
It's just that they don't know it
and they continuously keep chasing after the sun.
Look! The Cowherd and the Weaver stars!
They're not.
They're over there!
I say it's not. Those are the stars.
Even if you keep saying it
it won't become reality.
If I say they are, then they are.
You aren't allowed to talk nonsense.
If you keep going, I'll get angry.
I just said...
Alright, alright! You know your astronomy.
We
should go back.
Alright.
Carry me.
Miss Ruoxi
Come in.
Greetings to Miss Ruoxi.
Rise.
This is sent specially from 4th Prince in the capital as a gift for you.
Golden thread bird's nest
The plain's climate is hot and dry
it is best to eat the cool bird's nest to increase the yin
Bring it back to the capital.
Didn't Miss say
this is part of the art of tea?
Why are you sending it back?
It doesn't matter, I can't accept it.
Just send it back for me.
But...
how will I explain this to 4th Prince?
Ruoxi!
Do you have time?
Min Min Ge Ge,
this bird's nest is for you.
Bird's nest? What is it?
It's a precious delicacy.
It's the spit from birds.
Spit?!
I don't want something that digusting!
Quickly, take it away!
It's better you bring it back.
Forget about whatever precious spit.
Quickly, come with me!
Ruoxi, I need you to teach me to sing opera!
You've promised me.
We're good friends so we have to help each other.
Then alright.
I'll teach you to sing a good opera.
What is it about?
It's about a girl who disguises herself as a boy in order to study.
Who would know that she falls in love with her roommate.
In the 3 years they studied together
the boy didn't realize his roommate was a girl
Later, when she had to return home
the girl planned with the boy
to go to her home and propose marriage
Then didn't that boy think it was strange?
That boy was a bookworm.
The girl said
she has a twin sister at home
to give to him as a wife
Then that is a beautiful fate
It is great to be with the one you love
It’s never easy to get what you want.
When the boy proposed marriage
The girl, because of her parents' command
was engaged to another man
How pitiful
Then, if you were the girl, what would you do?
I will let go of everything
and elope with that man
Yes. The world is so big, there is surely a place for you
Then, what if that man doesn't dare to
I would make a love web
and trap him
Love web?
Nothing
Since you like this story
Then let us work hard
Okay
Ge'ge
Tonight,
I invited someone to watch our opera
Who?
It's someone worth singing opera for.
It's not 13th Prince is it?
Ge Ge's heart only has 13th Prince?
Ay, don't laugh at me anymore!
This is quite normal.
Ruoxi, you're quite convincing in this boy costume!
Likewise.
When Ge Ge is flattering me, are you not also flattering yourself?
Alright.
Ge Ge, Eighth Bei'le Ye has arrived.
The audience you invited is him?
Eighth Prince, please sit.
The Goddess of Mercy sits in the hall.
The golden boy & girl stand besides her.
Both of them are like a couple.
Who shall lit the incense burner?
Deity of Marriage may controls the marriage of everyone,
but only those who are in love can be a couple.
Those clay figures are just for display.
They don't understand human emotions.
Brother Liang.
Both of them have feelings for each other,
but its a pity that they are just clay figures.
Let Goddess of Mercy be the matchmaker.
Come, let's have a wedding on their behalf.
Brother, you are talking nonsense.
How can two men get married to each other?
Brava, brava.
Well sung.
But this opera's lyrics
I've never heard them before.
I wrote them.
I'm going to change.
