Episode 24
This snuff bottle, do you still want it?
If you have the nerve, then keep it
Just do not regret it in the future
Give it to her. I am afraid that the item was from someone powerful
Quick, just return it to her
Give you back
Today the event happened like this
It is not what I wished for
In the future, we still have to spend a long time together
I want to let you know clearly
As they say
Phoenix without feather is worse then chicken
But there is also the saying about a centipede with thousand legs
dies but never falls down
You have been in the palace for many years
Promotion and demotion
You should see plenty
You should leave a leeway for yourselves in everything
I know
Eunuch Zhang normally gives me special treatment
You guys suffered a lot
This is my wrong
From today on,
We should all understand each other more
try to make less mistakes
so events like this would not happen again
If there are more events like this
I am going to ask everyone to please excuse me now
Those who treats me badly
I would quickly forget
Any person treats me well
I definitely will remember and repay kindness
In truth, I have already planned to give gifts to sisters
I just did not know about your preference in such a short time
so I did not casually give gifts
Mei'mei. Please accept it for my sake
If you don't mind, then I will take one
Sure
We are all sisters. Please don't be too polite
Thank you
Alright alright
Eat melon seeds. Eat melon seeds
Today's seeds are extra tasty. Delicious and crunchy
Come come come. Let's eat together
Eat Eat
Greetings Miss Rouxi
Cao Eunuch
Please do not be like this. I do not deserve that
Seeing miss was not an easy task
Wang'ye sent this to you
Inside there are banknotes with small amount
Keep those on you so you don't need to worry about losing those and easy to give away
The medicine you wanted was sent to your room
Thank you very much. Cao eunuch
If you have anything you need, you can come find me.
I will take my leave now
Zhang Eununch
Can you. . .
Good talk Good talk
Then I will take my leave
Rouxi
Zhang Eunuch
Follow me
yes
10th Prince 14th Prince
Greeting Princes
What are you doing here?
Why are you like this?
Didn't you say everything has been arranged well?
A certain work must have a certain look.
How is Zhang'xian'yin treating you?
Zhang Eunuch has been taking good care of me
If he dares to treat you in any bad manner, I will have his head fall to the floor
I know
Ok, let's sit and talk
Is there anything wrong?
Is it my sister?
Your sister is well
Even though her body is weak
you already knew
she has always been like this throughout the years
Then what's wrong?
That both princes personally look for me
After the dead eagle event
8th prince suffered a big blow
and was very sick
Though his sickness has gone,
he is still feeling very bad
8th brother has not been very healthy. With the pressure from inside and outside
he became sick again
This time the illness is serious
The royal doctor said...
Imperial father spoke four words to the royal physician
Do your best to treat it
Ruoxi, we came to look for you
If you have anything to tell us
Tell us, we will pass it on
A letter is okay too
Did Eight Prince send you two here?
It's my idea
8th prince has been unconscious
Rouxi, what happened between you and Eighth Brother?
How is everything in 8th prince's estate?
How is 8th Fu'jin and my sister?
8th sister-in-law is really a hero among women
I admire her wholeheartedly
Think about it. After 13th brother got into trouble
his estate became a total mess
Things such as petty theft happened
13th Fu'jin
had to dismiss all unnecessary servants
However 8th sister-in-law
did not allowed any trouble to happen in her place
About your sister
because of you and 8th prince
she worried day and night She is kneeling in front of buddha chanting and praying
I heard from Qiao'hui
she would cry several times a day
Please wait
Happiness causes worry and suffer
Happiness causes fear and frighten
There will be no worry and suffer without happiness
Fear and frighten were nowhere to find
Love creates worry and suffer grow
Love creates fear and frighten
Without love there will be no worry and suffer
Fear and frighten will be nowhere to find
Therefore one should not love
Love and seperate create suffering
If there is no love or hate
you will be free without burden
The ability of Bei'le'ye is enough to fix the whole realm
The love of Bei'le'ye is like flowers in mirror and moons reflected in water
Bei'le'ye you have high ambition
Even though you put your heart into the state
you are not someone who does not have emotion
If there is no love or hate
you will be free without burden
The letter from Ruo'xi to me
She advises me
One should guard self against worry and fear
I think she find a way to have a peace of mind in Laundry place
So Bei'le'ye, you should not worry
You can even imitate her
I have never thought that
she would have such a strong will
I was defeated
She is not
Previously
I worried about her everyday
I don't know the start when
the most troublesome girl
suddenly grew up
Now the roles are reversed
We have to learn from her not to give up
She taught me
What it really means to let everything go
Before, because of love, I
could not break itself away from hate
But Ruo'xi said
Since everything is released
there will be no pain or suffering
Once, I had hated Bei'le'ye
but after I read the letter
I know
that the person who is making me unhappy is not someone else
It was myself
A proverb says
Life hurriedly counts ten years
Why should I burden myself with something that I could take with me
suffocating oneself
(Kang'xi year 56. Empress dowager passed away)
I just received express letter
Se'le and E'lun'te'jun
finally were stepped into heavily surrounded
and the whole army was completely annihilated
Do you two have any opinions?
Replying to your majesty,
your servant thinks that
I think that Zun'ge'er just won recently
Their morale is high
Our army should avoid their vanguard
and ask for armistice
When should the armistice end?
That... That need to be carefully considered for long term results
Replying to your majesty,
I am agree for an aistice for now also.
The roads to Tibet are often rugged and dangerous
Impedimenta and transportation would become problem
If because of ambush, rations and fodder become insufficent
What would happen to our army
Was that your first time
fighting over there?
You were scared to death by the enemy army
and are unwilling to fight?
To protect the realm,
Ten thousand deaths will not prevent me
Your majesty,
You did not sleep for several nights
take care of your health
The northwest area all belongs to
Ce'wang'a'la'bu'dan now
How could I sleep well
I underestimated the enemy
The northwest area were occupied
but the officers in Imperial Court do not support Emperor to send army
Under the urgent situation from outside and inside
Emperor moved the date up and appointed the 14th prince as Fu'yuan general
He took command and lead the army to frontier
Move out
14th brother is very clever
He is capable and has refined character
Our brothers could not compare to him
9th Brother
8th brother. The wind here is strong
You just recovered from illness and should not stand for long time
I should accompany you back
Compared to 14th brother
Standing a while is just a small matter
As long as the general
could save the common people from predicament
and not disappoint Imperial Father
that would fulfill my wish
Emperor gave 14th prince such an important duty
It seems that he will be the Crown Prince
That's right. Emperor even said 14th Prince is the most similar to him
Among all the princes
14th prince has become the first one among the brother
No one could touch him
Yes
Master. 4th Wang'ye asks to see Emperor
Leave
Emperor
4th Wang'ye is outside and asks to see you
Let him in
Yes
Allow 4th Wang'ye in
Greeting, Imperial Father
Rise
Thank you Imperial Father
4th Prince, why are you looking for me?
I heard that Imperial Father did not sleep or rest because of the war in northwest
I specifically asked royal physician house to make tonic
Take those
Yes
Recently when I saw Imperial Father
you became more and more thin and pallid
I dare to ask Imperial Father to take care of yourself
The country still needs Imperial Father
I will
Leave now
Thank you Imperial Father. I leave now
Please wait, Wang'ye
Emperor
The problems that we could not solve
why not
ask for Wang'ye's opinion?
I have the same thought
Okay
Wang'ye
Before we were talking with Emperor
regarding the war in northwest
However, we felt that it would be best to transfer troops from Mongolia
What do you think?
I think it is a good idea
Know yourself, know your enemy, one will come unscathed through a hundred battles (art of war)
But that is also where the problem is
What if the troop thinks that they are from same origin
turn around and fight us instaed
then we will be in worst position
Even though the tribes in Mongolia are all the same ethnic group
but they had been fighting and annexing each other since ancient time
If not from the same tribe, the treatment will be very different
And they would not show mercy
I think Imperial Father know about this point well
Yes. What your saying is right
Nian'geng'yao
Yes
That is the way to do it
Yes
Emperor, I have a suggestion
Speak
Now the time is filled with trouble
Imperial Court really needs abled people
Since Wang'ye is talented
I think that
Wang'ye should step out and serve the Imperial Court
This way firstly the Emperor could be more at ease
secondly, the country would benefit from it also
Yes!
Wang'ye. This time you were put into an important position by Emperor
That is a very good and happy news
Congratulations, master
Master,
do you have any other opinions?
No.
How is it?
13th Prince
good news finally arrived
A baby girl was born
Ruo Xi
Come here
Zhang Eununch
Is there anything wrong?
Rouxi
This baby is...
This baby is of Thirteenth Brother and Lu Wu
Really?
Why is it here?
The life in Yang'feng'jia'dao is not fit for normal people
It is okay for adults to bear
Infants would not be able to survive
Therefore, I asked Imperial Father
to allow me to raise her
Imperial Father agreed
She still doesn't have a name
The person who carried her to my estate said that
Thirteen brother and Lu Wu would
Like you to choose a name
They want me to choose a name
Imperial father originally already thought of a name
but after he heard about this
he agreed to let you decide.
Then we will present the name to him
and Imperial Father will name her that name
Rouxi
Imperial Father really misses you
What name
shall I give her?
This child has to be separated from her parents
How about Cheng Huan?
Cater to (parents) at the knee
That's the name
Xiao Shun Zi
Your servant here
Come
hold her well
Yes
How's your body recently?
Does your knee still hurt?
The herbal plaster that you asked Xiao'sun'zi to send me is very useful
In here, you need to be more avoid dwelling on unpleasant things
Don't worry too much
Everyday I will write several times
the sentence that you gave to me
Follow the road to the end of water
Sit down and watch the clouds appear
I can only use this method to let you know
that I am always here
Do you regret?
Suffering over here while waiting for me
I do not regret
The wait is definitely not in vain.
It's getting late
I have to leave
It seems that he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders
just because that to him, the Imperial Throne
is not just the Imperial Throne
it is also the future of 13th prince
my future
All of these are heavily pressured on his shoulder
Waist sores and back hurts
yeah
There is so much cloth to wash
Here is one more barrel
Please pass me this
Do you know
14th prince won another battle in northwest
yes?
We are under the blessing of 14th prince
so the whole country could be safe
Right. Correct
As long as we have 14th prince, the whole country will be safe and all other countries will send in tribute All other countries will submit themsevles to Emperor's ruling
That is wonderful. Yes
I head that 14th prince was very impressive
Tall and strong
He had many victories
He looks very awe-inspiring
The legenary stories from the war gradually arrived
A lot of tribes start to support 14th prince
14th prince's name is far spreading
He is the hero general in everyone's heart
There are many changes in Laundry place
Chun'tao, Yan'ping were released from the Palace
With the leaving of Chun'tao, Yan'ping
Two new young girls came
Qian'qian and Ling'dang
14th prince is really amazing
He fought so many battles and won them all
Of course
The 14th prince is the general well versed in letters and military technology
He is lively and elegant
How do you know? Have you met Fourteenth Prince?
No I have not
Sister Rouxi, have you met Fourteenth Prince?
The 14th prince I know
doesn't seem like that
Then what is he like? Tell us
Tell us
Please tell us
Please tell us, Rouxi Jie'jie
More time passed
Finally the news arrived that 14th prince will return to Capital
All palace maids wishes to see the elegant demeanor of him
Fourteenth Prince has returned to Palace
I guess that we will soon see the general's grateful bearing
We will see whether we are fortunate enough for that
It is always good to have some hope
Yes
14th Prince this way
14th PrincePlease
Everyone leaves
exept for Rouxi
Yes
Hurry up and greet 14th price before you leave.
Greetings 14th prince
Hurry up leave
Yes.. Yes.
14th Prince, I take my leave...
Greeting 14th Prince
You're the hero in many maidens' heart's right now.
it has been so many years
I asked the Imperial father for marriage
Imperial Father has never promised me
Even though I asked Imperial Father for the marriage
and I asked him to forgive you because you have served him so many years
Even for a bigger mistake
All these years of hard labor should be more than enough
Can you guess how the Imperial Father responded?
Why do you dislike me so much
You'd rather stay here and wash clothes
But don't want to marry me, is that right?
Today if you don't explain
or talk about other topic, the questions remains.
I have enough patient to
wait for your answer
It's not your fault
You are good, very good
It is my fault
Then, I'm going to ask you
As long as you respond, it's fine
In your heart, do you have someone else?
Fine
You already gave me an answer
Is it Eighth Brother or Fourth Brother?
What is the meaning of asking about these
Looks like its Fourth Brother
He is staying at his estate to be a wealthy and unconcerned man
Yet you are here enduring hardship
Is it worth to give him your whole heart?
The way you treat me, is it worthy?
The time when you risked your life in a horse race because of me
Since then
I have determined to treat you the same way as 13th prince
Treat you as a friend and treat you sincerely
I try my best to be your friend
I have achieved that
Or at least I could say with a clear conscience
You really do not need to be like this
That day I was for myself also
You do not owe me anything
If not for me
you would not have fallen to your current position
If you were really doing it for yourself
you could really push the responsiblity to me
And you wouldn't have to risk your life in that horserace
You look much thinner and paler
You became more charming and handsome
You still aren't willing to marry me
Is that right?
Whatever
If you don't want to stay here
You can look for me anytime
Thank you
Don't forget
What Physician Li told you before
Less thinking and avoid worry
I remembered
It doesn't mean that if you remembered, it's alright
The most important is to let go
I have plans for our problems
You do not have to worry
The most important thingright now is to take care of yourself. Understood?
Your Highness
The wind and cold are strong
How about we go back earlier and rest?
No need
The feeling of riding on horses today
my physical strength is much worse then before
I am not as strong as I wish
The elegant manner of Emperor on horse is the same as before
It is not even a string less then before
It is only because you have been exposed to the wind and cold
That you feel this way
Emperor. Please do not worry too much
Let's go back to the palace
Okay
The emperor's health had became a little bit better
Just the qi and blood is still lacking
Besides taking medicine
It needs to be dealt with using food, in additon to medicine
to make qi stronger
My appetite lately has been bad
All the food the royal kitchen prepares
I can't seem to get interested in it
Count it as eating uselessly
I eat but do not know the taste of what I eat
Whatever you body lack is what you need the most
Emperor please pick some food and give up some food based on what food you want
That way your appetite will be improved
Pastry
It's been so long since I've eaten pastries
It has been a long time
Wang Eunuch
Jie'jie. You made me wait so long!
Sister, come with me onto the palinquin
Wang Eunuch
Looking for Ruoxi today
for what reason?
His majesty wants to eat some delicious things
The royal kitchen exhausted their ideas
The royal kitchens want to come up with a plan but just can't
My master guessed
His majesty thought of you
and the great pastries you make
and called people in to make some
however there would not be enough time
And couldn't wait, so asked you to go to the palace
Is his majesty's body alright?
Much better, just easily irritated
If I did not remember wrong
this year is the year when Emperor will pass away
November of Kang'xi year 61
Everything will not be far off
I leave now
Sister, you have returned
Must have been hard for you these few years
Sister, do you want to go to my house to rest a bit?
No need
Bringing me directly to the kitchens will be fine
This should be the last time I'll get to make pastries for His Majesty
toward his majesty
I have fears, I have
I have compassion
All that now changed into not willing to be parting
I am waiting for that moment to come
This is not made by Yutan
Tell her to come see me
One taste, I
knew that this pastry
was made by you
This light and non-greasy pastry
has really
whetted my usually poor appetite
I am willing to make pastries for you anytime
if it can help to benefit your health
Good
Raise your head.
Let me see you properly
Your face is so pale.
Have you been sick?
Replying His Majesty, I have been well.
Then why is your complexion not so good?
Replying your majesty
I've only had some small pains
That is nothing to be mentioned
No need for your majesty to worry.
One's body, skin and hair are all from one's parents
You better take better care of your health
I will listen to Emperor's words
His majesty did not say if I could come home?
Letting you stay was actually Li Eunuch suggestion
But the bigger part was His Majesty's idea
Jie'jie. Don't worry about that
Yutan, has Emperor mentioned about you leaving the palace?
His majesty doesn't know how old I am
The kingdom has been at war
The state treasury has a tight budget
and various diasters continually happened
The emperor's heart is completely on that
For us lower people
he do not have the energy left to be considerate
Then how can Eunuch Li
not worry?
He also asked me twice for my opinion
I didn't want to go outside the palace
So he didn't bring it up again
Anyways
Eunuch li would love for me to stay
Whatever eunuch Li wanted something to do done, he will ask me or eunuch Wang to handle it
In order to train a proper servant, every three to five years is not doable
That is true
This time the Emperor's sickness
Is severe
I think that Emperor's illness is not that severe
But this time, sister's coming back
Emperor took pity on Jie'jie
Maybe he'll let you continue serving him
but your complexion does not look too good
If Jie'jie really could come back here, I will need to nurse Jie'jie back to be more healthy
Even the closer servants
do not think his sickness is too serious
Therefore the officers in Imperial Court
will all treat it lightly
I don't know if the emperor
died of the current illness
In later days, people suspect why Kang'xi died all of a sudden
It can't be
Sister, what's wrong?
These few days, did 4th prince come a lot
He came daily
Sometime 3-4 times
Even when the Emperor was in bad spirit
and stopped seeing princes
But he will still see the fourth prince
Why do you ask?
Which prince do you think Emperor will pick?
It should be 14th prince
His majesty has been pondering
If he should call 14th prince to return
but he is almost home
But isn't the emperor good to the 4th prince too?
yes, among the borthers
The ones he dotes on the most are the 14th and the 4th
Sister
Don't think too much
I will get you some warm water
Did 4th prince do something?
No. He won't
Royal father
You didn't sleep well again
Did the coughing interrupt your sleep?
I never thought
The cold came strongly and quickly
The royal physicians said that
as long as you take care
and eat medicine on time
You will get better naturally
here
Rouxi
Have you seen the doctor yet?
Not yet.
You forgot
Thank you for your concern
4th brother, sit with me a while
Thank you, Royal Father
recently, the kingdom's matters are extremely tight
and the war is still ongoing
My health has become worse
I really felt that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
Imperial Father, your body is under the influence of cold
but you still concerned day and night for the country and for the people
That is why you would have such thoughts
I am getting old
many things
I want you to share more burden
Country matters
Your son will definitely not release
Imperial Father just give me order
4th prince. On 15th day
you will go to Tian'tan on my behalf
respectfully fast
to perform the ceremony of sacrificing to the heaven
I will do as ordered
This matter was always taken care of by the crown prince
It seems that the fourth brother
truly is the emperor's favorite
Wang'ye
Is there anything wrong?
Imperial Father ordered Wang'ye to host the sacrifice to heaven ceremony
It seemed the eunuchs have almost finished with preparation
You can leave anytime to the temple
wait a little more
Wang'ye
any more delay, and time will be tight
at this time
I cannot leave
are you worried about the king's sickness?
Wang'ye, relax
please don't worry
there definitely won't be a problem
That's enough
I have my own decision
Just wait for a while
Emperor,
leave for now
Okay.
4th Prince
I would like to say something to you
your son is listening
I've served the kingdom and the people
I know 4th prince
I know you are like me, caring for hearts
I have been listening to your advice since childhood
Imperial Father has been my role model for everything
You should know that...
I most do not want to see
is you brothers, for the throne
plotting against each other
resulting in brothers hurting each other
I do not have many days left
Imperial Father. You have the most fortune
You will live on for hudred years
I hope that you could for the Imperial Court
strive to the most for my Qing dynasty country
I already ordered someone to write the decree
Imperial Father
4th Prince
You
You must promise me a thing
your son greets imperial mother
Go back for now
I have words to say to you
