Episode 14
When did you arrive?
Only just
But I saw our Fourth Brother drawing so seriously
so I did not want to interrupt you
and did not greet our Fourth Brother
Does anything matter?
Nothing much, just bored
So I came to look for you to drink tea and talk
I've always known that
Fourth Brother's calligraphy is beautiful
I only found that out today / Only today that i did found that out
you are also good at miniscule art.
Here, take a look at the art on this snuff bottle
I am not very good at judging art.
Say it
These 3 dogs
These 2 spotted dogs
are so fierce looking
On the left side, this short furred white dog
even though it is drawn cutely and interestingly
but it is a very daring dog, so obviously
not bowing down in front of the 2 fierce looking spotted dogs
Fourth Brother's painting...
what is the hidden meaning behind it?
I feel that to be a clever person you have to be like this white dog
Face challenges without fear
This is called personality
True
Tell me if it has any mistake
Nope, none at all
If you must, force me to say..
I can only say that
This white dog
is drawn too cutely already
really?
Am I wrong?
Jie'jie, why did you leave the door open?
Jie'jie, do you feel better?
after bathing in hot water
I do not feel the cold anymore
only my nose is clogged a little
Why not send for the doctor?
There's no need
A little rain won't kill me
I have always taken good care of myself
I am very healthy
I will be more aware next time
I have brought some food for you
Yu`Tan , to make you worried
I am sorry
Jie`jie don't say that
we are good sisters
You stared motionless in the air
I thought, you felt bad
I am just thinking of something
then my thoughts moved too far away
what are you thinking about?
is it the Butterfly lovers, again?
it´s the next chapter of the story
Next chapter?
I am just thinking if the couple
didn´t die
and they even got married...
That would be great I also think
that should be the ending
I haven't finished speaking
They get married but the price is
that the lady has to share her husband
with other women
That's not a big deal
Just being able to marry and live together is enough.
But fighting and getting jealous over one man...
Do you think that the couple
can live in peace and harmony until they're old?
Who is it?
Greetings to Lady Ruoxi.
rise
I've been sent to deliver something to you.
I don't require anything at all.
Return it.
If your nose is a bit clogged,
just use the snuff to make yourself sneeze and you'll recover more quickly.
Here
Jie'jie
This object is really very unique.
The puppies on it seem almost alive.
Plus, they are really cute.
Jie jie look at this
Jie'jie
Two layers of colored glass,
with three curly-haired dogs fighting
with such realistic and funny expressions,
it really is pretty interesting.
Isn't he comparing us to dogs?
Comparing us to dogs...
what does it mean?
Isn't there always fighting of some sort in the palace?
That too.
Why did Fourth Prince give this to Jie jie?
When I was soaked by the rain,
he saw me.
I'm guessing, he's afraid I've fallen ill and can't serve the Emperor.
So he sent this over.
I don't even know if this actually works.
Then why don't you try it out?
Me?
Big sister, it's pretty good
You try it out too!
I'll put it away now, and let you use it next time.
Try it out!
Try it once! I don't need it!
Try it! I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it!
I don't want to, no, no
Stop
I'm putting it away.
Don't run away!
Today's weather is lovely.
Coming outside to enjoy the flowers
is a truly enjoyable thing.
Father may be a little tired from walking,
why don't you rest for a little?
No need.
The emperor is happy right now.
Emperor, the autumn wind is cool,
but has a bite of winter cold.
How about the Emperor puts on another layer,
and then rejoin the princes?
How does that sound?
it's good, lets go
Alright,
let's continue enjoy the scenery together.
Let's go.
Crown Prince,
Please sit. okay
Why is the Emperor in such
a good mood today? Asking us to enjoy the scenery
and have tea together?
He usually has a thousand worries each day,
so he needs to unwind once in a while.
That's true.
It's rare that all of us brothers gather in one place,
so I hope everyone enjoys today.
Eight, I've heard that your chess skills have improved,
how about we play a game?
Sure.
If only those princes could
always be this friendly,
it would be so nice.
Look at you, such a small dog can frighten you so!
This servant should die. This servant should die.
How can you be so careless!
This servant will remove the dog at once.
Eight, continue.
Is it really so funny?
I'm not like a dog at all!
Rise
Today is your lucky day.
If you will not be more careful in the future,
you could get a severe beating next time.
Let's not talk about whether you can withstand such a beating.
Even if you survive,
who will take care of your injuries?
This servant will remember to be careful.
go
Ruoxi
Greetings, 14th Prince.
What's going on with you and 8th prince?
I asked him why he didn't ask the Emperor for your hand,
but he won't answer me. I asked you too,
but you also stay silent!
What happened recently?
Today, I saw you exchanging glances with 4th prince.
What's really going on?
14th prince,
Although you have several wives already,
what is the matter between men and women,
how much do you really know?
Stop worrying about the matter
between 8th prince and me.
As for 4th prince and I,
no matter how I explain it,
you won't listen to me.
You can think whatever you like.
This servant asks to be excused.
Maertai Ruoxi!
I hope you won't disappoint the 8th prince
I've asked my father about his intentions.
He told me to calm down.
Regardless of anything else,
I'm still his daughter.
You're his daughter-in-law.
He won't let us down.
Ming Hui, you don't need to
to do anything else for me.
You've already done enough.
Why?
What I want
is you that I first met.
Back then, I could concentrate on
doing what I wanted.
I can do that. As long as you're willing,
I'm willing to do anything for you.
You say your prayers all day,
don't you have enough fortune already?
Greeting, big sister.
Don't try this act on me!
Beileye may have been tricked by your act,
but don't forget,
I'm a woman as well.
What kind of game are you playing,
you think I don't know?
Sister, I'm not playing any game.
Stop trying to play innocent with me!
You can't even treat me with a bit of respect?
Sister, I truly am not
treating you with disrespect.
If you call me Sister with any sincerity at all,
don't treat me like an ignorant fool.
What do you really want to do?
Just say it out loud.
What I want to do?
What else do you want to steal from me?
What else do you want to receive? Just say it!
Nothing at all.
Say it.
Truly nothing.
Say it!
Truly nothing at all.
You think
you're the only victim?
How much freedom do I have?
We are the same
Our lives are determined by others.
I've never once thought
to steal Beileye from you.
Not for a single moment.
Everyday I hide behind my scriptures and prayers.
Unless this is the way to steal a man's heart?
I recite my prayers, in hope that everyone can live together in harmony.
But I really don't know what I should do for you.
Let Ruoxi marry Beileye.
Recently, Beileye seems to have
a lot of worries on his mind.
I have no way to cheer him up anymore.
Now, the only thing that can bring him joy
is bringing Ruoxi into this home.
Truthfully, I've known it for a long time
that Beileye is in love with Ruoxi.
Are you really okay with this?
What do you think?
A man's fate...
is a woman's destiny.
You should understand what I mean.
Guanshiyin Buddha,
please protect Ruoxi.
Bless her with success, health, and peace.
Beileye.
Continue praying.
Is my presence disturbing you?
No.
This place calms me down.
I want to sit here for a while with you.
Beileye,
this place belongs to you as well.
Beileye, recently...
you have a lot of matters on your mind?
Nothing in particular.
Then... Ruoxi...
can she help you take away all of your worries?
Why would you bring her up?
I want to know what your feelings are.
Beileye,
sooner or later Ruoxi has to get married.
if her marriage is unhappy,
then I'll have let mother and father down.
If she marries you,
I know for certain
that you would treat her very well.
But I need to know
how you feel.
Big Sister, Empress Liang is looking for you.
Empress Liang?
Do you know what's the matter?
It seems that your flower designs last time were pretty,
so she wants several more.
Very well.
Ruoxi
Big Sister
It is because of Empress Liang
that I'm able to come see you.
I already guessed it was so.
Sit.
I've come today
to ask you a question on behalf of Beileye.
Are you willing to marry him?
Do you like him?
Sister,
You've known Beileye all these years
so you know
he's very kind to his wives.
Plus, the two of us could meet often,
and be best friends.
You don't have any objections?
What prince
doesn't have several wives?
Not to mention, toward these matters,
I'm indifferent.
If you truly like him,
then don't worry so much.
If...
if it were that general instead,
would you still be okay with
him taking another wife?
I don't know.
But as long as it was for his own good,
I think I would have agreed.
Because I believe
even if he loved another,
he would still treat me very well.
Ruoxi, you should think this over.
Cheers!
What man doesn't have several wives?
As long as he loves you, it's okay.
Where do all those strange concerns come from?
Having many wives and many children is a sign of fortune.
For the last time,
can you fulfill my request?
Tell me the answer.
I want you to tell me with your own lips.
Yes or no?
Ruoxi, why?
Why must you force me?
Why do you demand that I
choose between two things
that I can have simultaneously?
I only want to ask you,
yes or no?
The answer is no?
You should watch out more for 4th prince.
What are you saying?
Also, watch out for Feng Sidao, Wang Keduo,
Nian Gengrao, Tian Jingwen, and Liwei.
You should be more cautious with them.
From now on, you and I
shall have nothing to do with each other.
Ruoxi!
I am a person who is afraid of death.
Not worth holding onto.
Who's this?
What are they doing lying on the ground?
Ruoxi! Hurry and get up.
What happened?
Come on.
What's wrong? Are you injured?
Take me back home.
Here. Get up first.
Can you walk on this foot?
Then I'll carry you on my back.
Wait.
You'd better go and call some people to escort her back.
What prince would carry a palace maid?
If word gets out, rumours will spread.
That's right. I didn't think about it.
You wait here for a moment.
Stop crying
If you really want to torture yourself
it's best to shut yourself in your room and do it.
Once you go outside,
not only will you be disturbed by someone,
but you can't do it to your full extent.
You really want to sit there?
Look at yourself
Who would take advantage of your beauty?
Why sit on the ground again?
Come. Come quickly..
Let me help you up.
Come over here.
Yes.
Slow down. Slowly.
Hurry and bring Lady Ruoxi back to the palace
and let the doctor check on her.
Yuetan, did anything special happen in the palace?
Nothing. I heard that 8th prince caught a cold and couldn't attend court.
Caught a cold...
Did he get it from that day in the snow?
Is it severe?
Ruoxi
Why?
Let go of me.
You live so apathetically,
you don't even feel any pain in your heart?
Or is it you don't even have a heart?
It hurts. Let go.
You still feel pain?
Then my actions will let you feel
other people's pain.
The pain of knowing and losing love
hurts more than not knowing love at all.
If you knew it would end like this,
then why did you agree in the first place?
Who are you playing with?
Are you cruel on purpose,
or are you merely flirtatious?
Let go of me, didn't you hear?
I'm telling you to let go!
Who are you to care about my matters?
Who am I?
Today, we're going to throw everything out in the open.
If you have reasons, we'll talk further.
If you don't have a reason,
then I really want to see whether I can
take care of this matter!
Let go, let go, let go!
14th Prince.
I'll say, what kind of a show
are you two putting on?
Looks like we came at the right time.
14th prince,
we just came from Mother's.
She misses you
so if you don't have anything to do,
why don't you pay her a visit?
In a few days, I'll come and see you again.
Greetings, 4th prince. 13th prince.
Because my leg is hurt, I'm afraid
I can't make tea for you two
and ask for your forgiveness.
It's fine. Now,
if you could only explain to us
what that show was all about,
we'll forgive you.
Fine, fine.
I will not ask about this matter, ok?
If 14th Brother puts you on the spot
speak out
Or maybe, I can help you resolve it.
It's no big deal.
It was just a small argument.
You know that we've fought like that
since we were both young.
It'll be fine in a couple of days.
If you don't want to say,
we'll not press you.
But if there's a problem,
don't just keep it bottled up inside.
If you can say it, say it.
I might not be able to fix your problem,
but I can at least help you think of something.
If that doesn't work, I can tell your brother-in-law about it.
Even though the 14th prince is as stubborn as a mule,
he'll still listen to 8th prince's words.
It's probable that 14th would complain to him first
so I should probably stay quiet about it.
Thanks for coming to see me.
and thanks for last time as well.
We are still so polite.
How's your foot injury now?
The physician said that I twisted a tendon
But it's not too serious.
Just need a few days rest to heal.
Let's go
13th Prince!
I'll go back first.
Wait a sec.
I usually don't have anything
to hide from my 4th Brother. Speak.
On this outing with the Emperor
I saw Min Min Ge'ge
Well, I'll say this topic changed fast.
In a little while,
it'll become me putting on a show,
and you two the audience.
Ok
Say it. What a small matter,
does it really need you two nagging me about it?
You should know Minmin's heart even if I don't say it.
What about you?
She confessed to you?
There's plenty of men in Mongolia,
there's no need for her to focus on me.
Minmin is a great...
Ruoxi, you understand me.
Even if she's a goddess,
she doesn't move my heart,
so there's no need to say more.
Even if it's not severe, it's important to recover completely.
Yet another New Years has come.
Even though my leg isn't fully healed,
and not much has changed,
I should count my blessings.
So cold!
Shouldn't you be working at the party right now?
How come you've come back before the party has ended?
I especially asked Eunuch Li to let Qiu Chen take my place.
She wanted to attend the festivities in the first place.
Each year at the New Years' Eve party,
the attending servants receive presents and
get to see some important people and events.
This is a great opportunity.
It doesn't matter.
I thought you would be lonely, so...
Good Luck pouch!
I have no problem being by myself,
so why did you go ask Eunuch Li
for such a useless favor?
I brought back some delicious food.
Tonight, let's eat, drink, and talk with each other
and have a merry New Year.
At least it's more fun than serving other people.
Come.
Did my sister come to court tonight?
And Beileye as well?
Although Beileye looked rather tired.
It seems he just got over a big illness,
so his face looked pale.
Slow down.
No problem.
Ruoxi.
I've figured it out.
If there's no you,
then everything else is meaningless.
Do you mean it?
Does this count as God's New Year's present?
If 8th Prince really gave up his fight for the throne for me,
then will history be rewritten?
If history is rewritten,
then would I have been born?
Would I pass away in his arms?
In the end,
would we have had the chance to meet?
Happy New Year!
Today is the first day of the new year.
Yet I'm about to do something unlucky.
I'd wanted to do it next year,
but I'm afraid if I delay it,
I'll lose the courage to do it again.
4th Prince,
I've made the decision
that in this lifetime,
I will not marry.
I only want to accompany the Lamp of Buddha,
and recite the scriptures for my mother.
I beg for your understanding.
Greetings, lady Ruoxi.
Please rise.
Please wait a moment.
I have some things that need to be delivered.
All right.
Sorry to trouble you.
It's no problem.
From now on,
I've ended it with 8th prince.
From now on, it's done.
Xiaoshunzi not coming is a good thing,
it means that the 4th prince has given up.
Now, everyone will be at peace.
Who is it?
It's Xiaoshunzi. I have something to deliver.
Come in.
I have something to give to you.
If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.
Eunuch,
please wait.
Sure.
Eunuch,
please help me deliver this
Please be assured.
It's a new year, everything has passed.
New year, new start.
It's been many years
since I've been to Wutai Mountain.
I wonder if it's changed very much.
Last time we traveled to Wutai Mountain,
you hadn't even entered the palace, right?
That's correct.
I entered the palace in the 44th year,
so I was late by a few years.
This time, she had better come along.
Emperor,
because I've been unwell recently,
I've been on a leave of absence.
I'm better now.
but when on tour outside the palace,
there are fewer servants.
Because I'm afraid I might not be at my best,
so I especially asked Eunuch Li
to excuse me from this tour.
You've been ill for so long,
even your clothes are hanging loosely on you.
Very well,
this time you may stay in the palace.
Thank you Emperor.
Emperor, the 8th prince has arrived.
Let him in.
Yes, your majesty.
You are dismissed.
Maertai Ruoxi,
is this the ending that you wanted?
Big Sister,
what are you doing here?
Empress Liang helped me come here.
If I had a choice,
I wouldn't have bothered her at all.
What's the matter?
Come
I'm worry about you.
My heart feels anxious.
so I came to see you.
Did you reject Beileye?
Perhaps... you've rejected a man with whom
you could've spent your entire life with.
But this is your life and happiness,
so no matter what your choice is,
I'll support you.
Do you still feel so bad?
Greetings, 8th prince.
Rise.
Looks like you're in a pretty good mood.
My sister came to see me.
So my heart is much more at ease.
It seems that way for you as well,
like you've gotten over it and let go.
Or it could be that this scenery has
let me forget about earthly matters for a moment.
After I came back, it's been so busy,
there‘s been no time to think much.
That's right.
14th brother won't bother you again.
What you said before...
what does it mean?
Long Keduo, Nian Gengrao, Liwei, I understand.
But as for Wu Sidao and Tian Jingwen,
I just don't understand.
At your side, there should be an advisor
with a bad leg, named Wu Sidao.
There is none.
Maybe I've been misled by the TV series.
While there isn't a Tian Jingwen in court,
there is a man named Tian Wenjing.
It must be him.
I must have remembered wrong.
All these people to stay away from...
what's your reason for it?
Just be more cautious is all.
As for my reasons,
I don't know how to explain it to you.
If the 8th prince has no more requests,
I have other matters to attend to
