I've heard you have vast knowledge
Well versed in medical knowledge
Today I've learned from this experience
Noble Consort gives me praise
I'm afraid I cannot accept
Let's go
Dr. Chang
Can you add dates and cube sugar into the kid's congee?
Please don't rush, let me think of some idea
Appreciated
Pearl, take Dr. Chang to file prescriptions
Yes madame
Looks like you won't be in a mood
for having tea and appreciate paintings with me
Thanks for helping me out, I don't know what to say
I will pay a visit when the kid feels better
I'm grateful for your thoughtfulness
But
Your kindness almost got played by evil intentions
Are you not mad at all?
I want nothing more than the kid to recover
Da-In
This is your dinner tonight
I can smell the awfulness from all the way here
Is this even for human to eat?
Tell you what Da-In,
You are in the Bei-San facility
You are extremely fortunate to have someone send you food
You should be grateful
Even in this dire time
I'm still the mother of Number Four
How dare you treat me like this!
Get your manager over here!
For the sake of the kid, this cold food
Would have been fetched yourself
Eat it or not is up to you
Get back here!
Are you here to watch a show?
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Doing this?
You are in no position to lecture me
It's you who took my son away from me
It has been your own fault all this time
Number Four will easily get involved in trouble with a mother like you
The emperor put him to Cheng Qian palace because of love
If you really want to do good for him, stop causing troubles
You think I agreed to that?
Whatever Empress,
Whatever Yu Gui Ren (Noble Lady Yu), they don't have feud with me
None
I'm just a victim for punishment
You volunteered to team up with Gao Gui-fei (Noble Consort)
You also setup the plans and acted first on it
Who else do you want to blame?
Gui-fei
When she first got into the palace,
she was just a servant.
Even lower ranked than I was
But very soon,
Just because her father gained power in the empire,
the previous emperor ranked her Tse-fu-jin (titile) in person
Later on, the current emperor now got crowned
She got promoted to Gui-fei (Noble Consort)
along with all the family getting Yellow-Flaged
living among the ordinary people
But me,
I was not favored at all,
I have no one to watch my back
I put in so much effort to give birth to Number Four,
but only got promoted to Jia-pin (Dame)
Tell me
If I don't pick her side
How do I protect myself?
How can I can protect my son?
Just because of acting frontline for her,
My father and brother,
all got promoted
You can play dirty even to your son, you're not fit to be a mother
I need to stay alive first in order to protect my son!
You won't understand!
Neither does the Emperor !
He only blames me for being intolerant
he blames me for being mean
For Yung-Chen,
for my son,
I can be Gao Gui-fei's lap dog
I will bite whoever she wants me to bite
I won't hesitate for one second
In this world,
No one loves my son more than I do
Who else?
But you, it's all because of you!
It's you who took away my son!
You took away my only hope
I not here to listen to this today
I just want some answers
Was it Gao Gui-fei‘s idea
to have Prince Yi snitch to Emperor?
I am asking you a question, why aren't you answering?
It's all already done,
there's nothing that I can't tell you
Yes, that's correct
it was Gao Gui-fei who ordered Prince Yi
to go rat to the Emporer
So it's all related to Gao Gui-fei,
she was the cause for my family destruction
Wrong !
You got it all wrong !
The broken Wei Fa Nala clan
It's all caused by you!
Xian-fei! (Consort Xian)
It's you that acted high and mighty
and declined to be friends with Gao Gui-fei
It's you who wanted to follow the rules,
you refused to help your father and brother
It's your coldness that caused your mother to hit her own head on the door
You should blame yourself,
for being in the Forbidden Palace
and for being treated less than a dog
You failed everyone's expectations
Our clan broke apart
Is all because of you!
The one thing I regret most in this life
Is giving birth to a worthless daughter like you !
Same goes for today,
If it wasn't for Chun-fei's (Consort Chun) help,
You think you would have gone through it that easily?
People with no ability always get trampled,
That's why you lost so bad
That day when I saw the nanny
feeding meat soup to the kid, I started to have doubts
That's why I got Chun-fei to have tea
Because she studied medicine,
it's better for her to expose the plan
Do you understand now?
What did I do wrong?
From where should I apologize to all of you?
Why are you all forcing me?
Chang Shou, mom's death
I am responsible
But everyone else can't run
One's that picked on me, trodded on me.
One by one
I will get them all to pay back !
Madam
Where did you go?
I looked all over and couldn't find you
Are you ok?
Nothing is the matter, I was just feeling restless
I went out for a stroll
Madame, look your clothes are all wet.
Let me get you changed
Madam, are you ok?
What time is it ? It's only 11 pm
Go back to sleep, I'll keep a watch on you
No
Do you hear crying?
No
I'm taking a look at the 4th prince
Madam, your shoes
Eh, what's the matter?
It's ok, it's ok. Come
Where are all the people that are supposed to take care of him?
I'll go look for them No need, we'll deal with it later
Fetch some water and clean clothes
Madam, put on your shoes first Hurry and go
Hurry up.
Yes
Come
Yong Cheng
From now on, I'll be your mother
Are you full?
Madam, something happened at the Bei San palace (where Jia is staying)
Are you full?
Bring the cup over, mother will play with you
Madam Xian Fei, the lady at Bei San palace hung herself
What a pity
Send some gifts over on my behalf
Madam, she did it to herself !
Why do you care about her?
Doing it on behalf of the 4th prince
To give some condolenses
Do you want to eat some more?
Eat
I asked you to write "kuan rong" (tolerance)
you wrote 100 times "ren" (endure)
Why?
"kuan rong"and "ren nai"
Aren't they the same?
"kuan rong" is to understand, "ren nai" is to withhold
You think I don't know what's going on with you?
You dont ever think you are wrong
In your view
you're awaiting to accumulate your power
When you right times come you will give a fatal attack to your enemies
Ying luo, I have taught you such a long time, why are you still not understanding it at all
I am like a hard rock
I made NiangNiang(Empress/Queen) worried
You!
NiangNIang(Queen)
All finished at Beisan suo (a place where the queen or concubine is abandoned)
It is pity that fourth prince
Lost his mother at such small age
If NiangNiang likes fourth prince
can bring him to zhang chun gong to raise him up
I am in charge of other six palaces and it is a lot of work
Xian concubine has a lofty personality and her integrity
Letting her adopts fourth prince is the best choice.
Moreover, she has just lost her mother
with the presence of fourth prince
it could be a comfort for her, NiangNiang
I am sorry if I talk too much
Chang Chun palace is way too desolate
it is the right time to get a little prince
NiangNiang, you are the queen
so you ought to get a baby for the emporer
to inherit the legitimism of Qing dynasty
Er Qing
Why would you say something like this?
Slave knows
Queen you are generous and you are a motherly model of the nation
You treat the kids of other concubines just like your own kids
but the imperial noble consort just keep an eye on you
Chu Xiu Palace, Stop talking(Ying Luo)
If she gets the baby for the emporer earlier, there will be an impact on your position in the palace on your position in the palace
Stop it !
NiangNiang
Sister Er Qing
Why are you so worried suddenly?
In this big palace
Having a child for the emporer is relative to the future of the queen or those concubines
Even if the emporer loves and treasure you so much
If you have no children for the emporer
The situation of NiangNiang
will only be more and more difficult
Whenever I talk about this with NiangNiang before
NiangNiang will get mad, I really dont know how to deal with it
Maybe Niang Niang
has her own concerns
The emporer loves NiangNiang so much
what kind of concern will she get?
NiangNiang
What is it?
Ying Luo
Wait a little.
I'll go get someone.
Don't.
Don't make a scene
Hurry. Get me another blanket.
Yes
Do you feel a little bit better?
What's going on?
Why are you not telling anyone when you're obviously ill?
Who says I'm sick? I'm not sick.
Niang Niang. Go down.
Yes
Greeting nianian
No need to stand on custom
I asked you to come today because I have something to ask of you
Ming Yu, Er' Chin. This doesn't require anyone to do anything.
Please leave.
Yes.
What do you think Niang Niang has to discuss with Consort Chun?
That even the two of us can't stay
Stop asking about Niang Niang's business
Aren't you curious
Empress never hides anything from us
This must be an important thing
Since Niang Niang doesn't want us to be there, let's stay here Understand?
Guard the door
I'm leaving everything in your hands
Niang Niang, don't worry. I'll prepare
and return
Er'Chin come in with me
Niang Niang, over here
What on earth is happening?
Really?
These two ladies are truly strange.
Consort Chun she was sick all the time
But the Empress treats her as her own sister
They should be enemies to each other
why they're so close
Exactly
The Empress's relationship with Lady Chun is even closer than with the Emperor
Although Empress is very kind,
she is closer to Chun than anyone else
These two must have something to hide
What strange thing can happen between two females?
It's not as if
wait
In this world
nothing is impossible
Now all at once
All these things are making sense now
Niangniang (Noble Consort)
What are you saying?
They are feeding right to my mouth
If I let go
it will be a shame for them
Zhi Lan
Help me spread the news out there
Lady
Is what you're saying true?
To earn a good fame
one has to do right thing for the whole life
However, if you have a flaw
that will be a total collapse
immediately
Remember. Don't worry
how ridiculous this is
As long as someone believes it
Then it's true
In my opinion, they are absolutely strange
No way
Did you hear?
The lady of ChangChun Palace and Consort Chun...
What are you looking at?
So sneaky
Watch
What's there to see?
Don't you find this very strange?
What's so strange?
That is, what's going on between Chun Fei and the Empress.
Chun Fei is here everyday in the Empress's boudoir for 4 hours.
Maybe they have something to discuss
It has been 7 or 8 days. What can they be discussing for that long?
These matters belong to our ladies
What matter is it to you
I've told you all this and you still don't understand?
You are beating around the bush. What on earth are you getting at?
Where did you hear such gossip from?
You had better be careful. If they find out, they will slit your throat.
The news has been around all 6 palaces.
That is what everyone is saying
That means they are trying to destroy the reputation of our mistresses. How can you join them?
Ok, ok. I won't spread [the gossip] anymore
Er Qing?
Why aren't you in bed yet?
These are the Empress' underwear?
Yes
She just had a nightmare and was perspiring.
It's so late. Why don't you wash them tomorrow?
I'm doing some washing now, so I might as well do them together.
You are working tomorrow morning
You should go back now to rest
Ok
Come and rest once you are done.
Emperor
You found the famous calligraphy?
I hear Emperor's got
“Mid-autumn” by Wang Xianzhi
"Bo Yuan" by Wang Xun
and only missing Wang Xizhi's "Sun shining after heavy snow"
So I asked my brother to look for it in Suzhou City
And finally
Emperor, take a look
What smooth strokes
Compare to the other two it is clearly better
Master Wang Xizhi
Huh?
Only these four characters
their strokes
seem quite different from others
Great sight
It was with a collector in Suzhou
Maybe he wrote that himself
what a pity
It sabotages the whole work
what a pity
Who is singing?
Your majesty
They're rehearsing opera
Chu Xiu Palace is a bit close It's interrupting you
I'm gonna stop them
Don't bother
(opera lyrics)
Emperor!
(opera lyrics) We are sisters in this life
And let's be brothers in the next one
No
I'm married to Mr Fan now
If you married him too
We can be sisters
without difference
without time-limit
without distance
which is more intimate than couple (Lyrics ends)
Greetings your majesty
What are you singing?
Emperor. What they're singing is "companions of perfume" by Li Yu
It's the story about two beautiful ladies who married the same husband
What you don't know is that
the love between females is a focus of unorthodox writers
Why are they performing this in the palace?
Emperor, emperor
What happened to the Emperor?
The Emperor heard two performers
I had the they were the Empress and Lady Chun. Really?
That's why the Emperor is mad
Your majesty, Your majesty
How dare you do so?
My mistake deserves death of ten thousand times
Please pardon me
What are you doing?
Emperor, it's all my fault
It's all my fault
Don't be angry
I'm asking you directly
why are you so rushing
Your majesty
Empress asked me to bring a basin of water
Your majesty
Greetings to the emperor
What are you two doing?
You're drawing?
Then why did you shut the front door
Get up and speak
Emperor
Actually, Empress and I
was preparing your birthday gift
Birthday gift?
Two months later, it is your birthday
I was gonna give you a surprise
So I invited Consort Chun to discuss
I didn't know what gift to give
Consort Chun suggested me
to draw a paint
However, I drafted quite a few recently
which I think are lacking something
Right on. Just now I accidentally
poured the ink on Empress
I see
Empress is way too subtle
Whatever gift you give me,
I will still be happy anyway
Emperor
Why is clothes wet
Thanks to your favorite maid
Ying Ruo
Why are you so reckless
Ask the Emperor for forgiveness
Yes.
I deserve to die. I beg the Emperor to forgive my sin
Emperor.
She was only anxious to help.
And you were angry.
Why don't you quickly go to change?
Emperor
Who let you in?
Emperor. It's the empress who told me to
compensate my fault
No need.
Go outside to kneel.
Yes
Emperor
Today, why are you so angry
Do you know
someone is spreading rumors
rumors?
What rumors
They said the Empress and Lady Chun
are too intimate
Ha
Emperor
This type of rumor
You would believe?
Think about it thoroughly
it becomes very absurd
I wasn't thinking
Emperor. Don't worry.
I will definitely find
the one who started the rumor
And reinforce the rules in the palace
However, Empress, you need to better watch the people by your side
Emperor. I think Ying Luo
wasn't careful just for a moment
She's normally very conscientious in what she does
How have you not seen through it?
What's that?
She ran into me on purpose
My first impression of her was right.
This young girl I can tell is the kind of woman who uses her meager looks to attract powerful men
Tries to attract men?
Yingluo isn't not that kind of woman, your majesty
I saw it with my own eyes
Do you think I was wrong?
She was trying to seduce me
Maybe because she is infatuated with me
Maybe because she is grasping and mercenary
No matter the reason, she is a temptress
who was put on this earth to lead men astray
Have you seen the way her eyes flash, or the way she smiles? Clearly...
Clearly, you're prejudiced against her.
Because of your prejudice
so you you view everything she does
in the worst light
Fine. I won't argue with you about this any longer
There'll definitely be a day when
you'll know that I'm right
This Wei Ying Ruo
is greedy and sly
Watch your household carefully
Yes, I understand
Goodbye to my Emporer.
No awareness of shame at all
No awareness of shame at all!
Ying Luo
You know what's between me and Corsort Chun
why did you rush to the palace to warn us
stand up and talk
Yes
I indeed have no any idea
about what's going on in the sleeping chamber
But Niang Niang has closed the door
doing thing in such a low profile
That means you want no one knows what happened
So that why I dash back to remind my master
You have no idea about anything
However, you still do your very best to protect me
Queen teaches Ying Quo how to study, write
The way of coping things and people
It is very rare to have such a nice person in the world
If Niang Niang doesnt wanna say it, Niang Niang must have her difficulties
Niang Niang must have her difficulties
What Qing Luo should be doing is to keep the secret, instead of keeping find out the reason
Letz show her
This is...
After I give birth to the second elder brother
My feelings of cold spreaded over my body
Until the end of this Winter
It even got worsen
Every night, the pain is a needle pinning into
your bones, it makes me hard to sleep
My whole body is sweating
After an hour
I have to change to a new dress
So,
the queen invited me here to do the acupuncture
We want no one knows this. But
But we could never expect the people here
Taking advantage of this
and making rumours like this
It is totally insane
If the emporer broke into our room tonight
and discover We are doing the private medication
The consequence
is extraordinary horribly
Too all the women in the palaces
getting an emperor a son is so important and let's think
A woman always the sickness of feeling cold
How can she have any children?
and how can she then keep her position in the palace
So I
Just dont wanna trouble the imperial palace
my only solution is to let [Chun Fei] come help
Ying Luo
From now on, Er Qing and You
assist me to guard Chang Chun Palace
Of course
