Episode 20
Promise me.
No what happens to you in the future.
You'll never leave me.
Hong Taiji.
It's too hard for us.
No.
I'll never give up.
Hong Taiji.
Why do you love me?
I just love you.
Don't ask why.
Not because of my appearance?
Or...
Hong Taiji.
What's in me makes you love me?
Now.
I'm an old woman in other people's eyes.
You haven't answered my questions.
You fool.
You're just you.
I love you.
It has nothing to do with your appearance.
I just love you, you foolish troublemaker.
Thank you. Thank you.
Congrats. Congrats.
Enjoy yourselves.
Take your time.
Okay. Okay.
Come.
Come. Come.
Drink. Drink.
Come. Come.
A toast to you. Thank you. Thank you.
Enjoy yourselves. Enjoy yourselves. Thank you.
Drink!
Here, a toast to you.
Come, drink. Drink.
Okay.
Prince Daisan.
Enjoy yourselves.
Eat more.
Thank you. Thank you.
A toast to you, too.
Congrats. Congrats. The same to you.
Such a big day.
What's wrong with Dongge?
Even her maid gets married decently.
But no one wants her.
How can she feel good?
Who says no one wants Dongge?
I...
Cuyen.
Save it.
People have ears here.
Don't pretend to be a Mr Good!
I'm not like you.
You're always like a coward.
Even if father is here,
I also dare say that!
I want Dongge!
Cut it out.
I don't want you guys!
You. You. And you.
I don't want anyone of you!
Drink!
Our princess Dongge is very proud.
Prince Cuyen.
Why do you have to ask for the insult?
You...
Come. Come.
Drink it up!
Prime consort.
Dongge just drinks a few more cups of wine.
What she said, she didn't mean it.
And you're an elder.
Why do you have to push it too far?
Cuyen, sit down.
Drink!
Princess.
Princess, careful.
-You're drunk, princess. -Wedding room?
Princess.
This is the wedding room?
What a beautiful wedding room!
Princess. You're drunk.
Please have some rest over there.
So beautiful!
I also want a wedding room like this!
Princess.
Looks so nice.
Sit here first.
I'll get you some hangover soup.
Gedai.
Don't leave.
Gedai.
Princess.
As a bride, you really look radiant! Princess.
Little Gedai.
Princess.
Little Gedai.
Princess. Little Gedai, you're so beautiful.
Princess, you're really drunk.
Princess, you're the most beautiful woman of our Jurchens.
Come, let me get you over there.
The most beautiful woman?
Do you really think I'm more beautiful than anyone else?
Princess.
That's not true.
What they value is that Shaman's prediction!
They all like that prediction.
Who cares about my thoughts?
-Princess... -Who cares?!
Princess.
Prince Hong Taiji is not one of them.
No matter how you're, he treats you the best.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
He's different.
He said that he loves me.
Yes.
Princess, you gotta believe him.
But Gedai, you know what?
I'm so afraid.
Princess...
Everyone of them says that they love me.
But in the end?
In the end.
They all will abandon me. He won't, princess.
Says he loves me!
Princess. The next second, abandons me!
My parents did so.
Let alone those irrelevant people!
Princess.
Why did they all abandon me?
Why?!
-We won't, princess. -Did anyone of them treat me as a human?
A human!
Princess. -I'm also a human! -Princess.
I have heart!
My heart will break, too!
Princess. Princess.
I'll always stay by your side.
Princess...
No.
I can't be here.
I gotta leave here.
Princess. -I gotta leave here. -Where are you going, princess?
This is your home.
No.
This is not my home.
Nurhachi's mansion.
Also not my home.
Princess.
Gedai.
It turns out that I have no home.
I've lost my home earlier on.
Princess.
Princess!
What's going on?
Why does she want to go home?
Does she mean Yehe?
Princess is drunk.
Hong Taiji.
Hong Taiji, you're here.
Hong Taiji.
My...
My heart...
It hurts so much.
It hurts so much, you know?
Hong Taiji.
You're so clever.
Can you...
Can you stop it from hurting so much?
Stop it.
Hong Taiji.
Gedai.
Hong Taiji. -Go get the soup. -Hear me?
Yes.
My heart hurts.
Hong Taiji.
Come with me.
Hong Taiji.
Why?
I don't want to be like this.
Can I not be like this?
Can I not love you so much?
Can I? -I don't want to love you so much! -You can't!
Why?
Why do I have to live so hard?
Do you know...
Do you know how much I hate this disgusting world?
Do you know...
Do you know how much I hate being Dongge?
You guys just want me and abandon me as you wish.
Want me and abandon me as you wish.
What am I?
What the hell am I? Tell me, what am I? Tell me!
Tell me, what am I?
Dongge.
Listen carefully.
No matter what happens.
I, Hong Taiji.
Will never abandon you.
Prince Daisan.
Why did you come out alone?
The banquet is too noisy.
So I wanted to find a quite place here.
I know.
Where and whom you're heading to.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Prime consort.
Don't call me prime consort.
Call me Abahai.
Daisan.
Before me, you don't need to pretend.
Because no matter what happens.
I'll never do anything adverse to you.
Okay.
In this case.
Thank you, prime consort.
We both have no command over ourselves.
Right?
I think you must know beile's thoughts.
He's not an ordinary man.
You're his son.
You're not ordinary, too.
How can I be compared with father?
Prime consort, you're joking.
I mean it.
Daisan, you have a long way to go.
I don't want you to ruin your future for someone irrelevant.
Prime consort.
I don't know if you're talking to me as a mother,
Or as a friend.
And...
What's called someone irrelevant?
Speaking of that.
Are you relevant to me, prime consort?
Why can't you understand it?
Now, beile and every prince
are expanding and accumulating their power.
I just want to help you.
I don't hope that Dongge makes you...
Enough.
Save it.
Thank you for your reminding, prime consort.
I understand what you mean.
But you've thought too much, prime consort.
Now, father loves your son very much.
And father's in his heyday.
He also loves you very much.
Maybe soon, I'll have another little brother.
You...
And...
From now on.
I'll go my own way by myself.
You don't need to worry about me, prime consort.
Daisan.
Why can't you understand my feelings for you?
My lady.
His lordship is in concubine Gedai's room.
What?
It's my wedding day.
But his lordship won't come to me?
Gedai?
What kind of thing she is?!
How dare she compete with me?
There's still time.
She's just a maid.
Let me see how capable she will be!
Princess. You're awake?
What time is it now?
Almost 11 p.m.
Princess, you just drank the hangover soup.
Does your head still hurt?
It doesn't hurt any more. But it feels like I've been beaten up.
Princess, you were drunk. Kept beating his lordship.
If he didn't stop you and made you drink the soup,
perhaps you wouldn't wake up now.
So I wasn't in a dream.
Hong Taiji, he...
His lordship worried that you might be hungry now.
Told the kitchen to make some porridge.
Princess, do you want some now?
It's too late.
I better go back.
Princess. Just rest in here tonight.
His lordship has handled everything outside.
No one will find you rest in my room.
How could I?
Today is your wedding day.
Hong Taiji is yours.
How could I...
Princess.
I know, you love his lordship.
In this world, only your love is what he wants.
And gives him happiness.
My biggest wish in this lifetimes is,
to see you and his lordship happy.
You don't get it.
In fact, even me can't figure it out.
Now, what kind of love I have towards Hong Taiji?
Over these years.
He's always a kid under my protection.
Is it really just love for a kid?
Princess. You still can't see your true feelings.
I've served you for so many years.
Even me see that clearly.
Princess, why can't you get it?
All this time.
Is it you protecting his lordship or he protecting you?
What kind of feelings do I have towards Hong Taiji?
Kinship?
Friendship?
Sympathy?
Or...
Love?
My lord, I got this.
It's okay.
Tonight...
Princess just wakes up.
She might get a cold if she goes back.
Just let her rest in here.
But you...
Don't need to worry about me.
So many rooms in the mansion.
There will be one for me, right?
Feel better?
I'm really a killjoy.
You only drank at the dinner.
Ate nothing. How could you not be hungry?
Here.
Have some millet congee.
To warm your stomach.
Come.
I owe you your wedding.
One day.
I'll hold your hand aboveboard.
Walk into the wedding room that only belongs to us.
Okay.
Come.
Two boxes of snacks. One sent to Gedai's room.
The other to prince Hong Taiji's study.
Yes, my lady.
What about you, princess?
I want to walk about alone.
You guys just go.
Yes, my lady.
Stop.
What's in your hands?
Sister Bain.
Concubine Gedai told us to get these plum blossom.
To be bottled in beile's room.
Concubine Gedai is really thoughtful.
It happens that my lady also wants these blossom.
How... How could you do this?
Is Concubine Gedai really gonna fight with my lady over a flower?
Check her family background first.
Let's go.
My lady.
You and Erhe both are concubines.
How could you just let her bully you?
After so many times.
-In the past, she even... -Enough.
Hang in there.
I don't want any dispute in this mansion to distract his lordship.
She swaggers around just because she's from a noble family.
I think, his lordship treats you the best.
I know that.
So just hang in there when this kind of thing happens.
Don't bother him.
His lordship seldom comes to concubines.
But three of fives times he comes to us.
My lady.
Don't... Don't cry.
Well...
As long as you have a kid with his lordship. Erhe won't be so aggressive.
I'm not lucky. How can I ask so much?
Right.
Princess will come here today.
Don't let her know such vexing things.
If she asks, tell her that I'm alright.
Get it?
Yes, my lady.
Didn't watch while you're walking. Did you get hurt?
Hong Taiji.
I saw the snacks. But you didn't show up.
So I couldn't help but coming out for you.
Why do you look upset?
Is there any problem?
Hong Taiji.
I want you to do me a favor.
Shoot.
As long as I can do it.
You...
Have a kid with Gedai.
Back then, you married Gedai to nip rumors.
But now you have two concubines.
But no kids.
Outsiders might gossip before beile.
How about...
You know that my heart...
I know.
Of course I know.
But I also know that you need a kid.
So does Gedai.
For what I can't give you now.
If it has to be anyone else...
I hope...
It's Gedai.
Forget it.
Do as Cuyen said.
Cuyen.
You're their big brother. Should set a good example for your brothers.
Yes.
Father, I will not let you down.
Let's call it a day now.
Bye, father.
Daisan.
You stay.
Hong Taiji.
What's in father's head?
He adopted Cuyen's idea.
But made Daisan stay?
How can I know father's thoughts?
Daisan is calm and cautious.
Perhaps father has something else for him.
Right.
After father's reform, the big picture becomes clearer and clearer. Look, half of the ministers follow Cuyen.
And the other half join Daisan.
But deep down...
Why do I feel so unsecured?
Me, too.
We all are the same.
Look, shall we follow Cuyen or...
Masterhands seldom think and the wise barely speak.
There are things that we shouldn't care about.
What's up?
So boring.
Fifteen minutes more.
Then I'll take you to sleigh on the ice.
Really?
I want to go skiing?
I can't?
If you think I'm childish, just laugh at me.
You're really troublesome since you distract me.
I've spent two hours on the accounts to be reviewed
by father tomorrow.
But still can't settle the easiest ones.
Look.
How should you compensate me?
Well...
I will...
Is this a good compensation?
Right.
I'm afraid there will be changes.
After you go back, if I don't look for you,
don't walk out of the city easily.
Okay.
Right.
I heard that Gedai doesn't feel good lately.
Did you find her a doctor?
Dongge.
I want to tell you something.
What's that?
There must be someone handling domestic affairs.
Can't just delay it like this.
So I want Gedai to do it.
If she handles things here,
it'll does no harm to our relationship.
But Erhe is from a prestigious family.
How will she possibly allow Gedai?
What's up?
Dongge.
Promise me.
Don't be mad.
How dare you rush to here?
You blind maid.
I... I'm a maid to concubine Gedai.
Have something important to tell his lordship.
She's Gedai's maid.
If there's nothing urgent, she wouldn't do this.
Yelling and shouting here.
Don't you know rules?
Don't you have something to report?
Spit it out.
My... My lord.
The doctor checked upon concubine Gedai.
Said that she's pregnant.
Dongge.
If there's nothing else...
Excuse me, then.
I told him to do that.
I told him to give Gedai a kid.
But why...
My heart still hurts so much?
I was wrong.
Hong Taiji.
He'll never only belong to me.
Heavy snow.
Please bury me.
With all the bygones.
Then my heart...
Will never hurt again?
Come.
No need.
I got this.
Why did you come here?
It's so cold outside.
What if you get ill?
There are some warm wine.
You may drink some.
To warm up.
Right.
I forgot that.
You can't drink too much wine.
If you drink too much, you'll shout aloud.
That's not good.
Dongge.
Are you doing well lately?
Yes.
How could I not do well?
Some time ago, I helped Hong Taiji prepare for his wedding.
Forgot to say congrats to you.
To me?
Why say congrats to me?
I heard that Jilan gives you another son.
It's a good news.
Everyone knows that you love Jilan.
But other ladies told me last time.
It'll be hard for Soto and Yoto.
Soto and Yoto were born by your first wife.
-After all they're your eldest son and second son... -Are you blaming me?
No.
I just feel that as the master of Plain Red Banner,
you should handle things properly.
If you pamper Jilan in this way,
people will gossip.
Dongge.
I can explain this.
Dongge.
On any aspect, she's a sister from your clan.
There are some things I can't give you now.
So I can't ask you to do anything for me.
But I'm really sorry.
I don't want you to feel bad for me.
Or to be jealous for me.
Dongge.
For you.
No matter the master of red banner or his son,
I can give up all that.
Please believe me.
No. No. No.
You took me wrong, Daisan.
I didn't mean that.
Sorry.
I shouldn't step in your domestic affairs.
I take back what I said. Do you forget the promise we made?
Do you forget what we promised before?
We said, no matter what happens.
We'll wait for that day together.
We'll never part.
Dongge.
You're really important to me.
I mean it.
Please believe me.
Dongge.
Don't be mad at me, okay?
Daisan.
Don't say this again.
Or I'll get off at once.
Is there really no chances between us?
Daisan.
I didn't expect...
I would bump into at such an awkward moment.
If I have to tell something certain,
I can tell you right now that I...
Today's wine is really good.
Today, I went to visit third uncle earlier on.
Amin and his brothers.
Sent me so much good wine like this.
Right.
They also told me.
They got some new good horses.
Told me to try one if time permits.
What a coincidence.
I didn't expect...
I could see you in such a cold day.
Pretty good.
Sorry, Daisan.
Sorry.
None of the princes and ministers is not informative.
It's not been a long time since we reported it to beile.
They all came and almost wore out our threshold.
This is from prince Daisan.
Don't know where he got this exotic thing.
This painting is an embroidery of colored threads.
But looks so lifelike.
But although prince Daisan is thoughtful,
he's not as generous as prince Cuyen.
I've seen a lot of
beile and prince's treasured items since I was a kid.
But I've never seen such a crystal jade piece.
Placing it beside your pillow will help you sleep well.
And the fox fur from prime consort Abahai.
I touched it but didn't find any flaw.
I think it's a complete fox fur.
Put away the other items.
Look, isn't this painting good?
My lady.
Put them away.
Yes, my lady.
