I used to gaze at the mountains and the sea.
The vault of heaven opened all of a sudden.
Do you know love can last a lifetime?
A willow is no match for the wind,
the sea is no match for a mote.
We wait for our love to last forever
until we're grey-headed.
I'm playing a sorrowful tune on the lute.
But I've got no one to appreciate my music.
A beauty is reduced to a lonely life.
With tears in her eyes, she's reluctant to leave.
Time elapses so quickly.
The vermilion gates and the green tiles have long gone.
I hope you'll show pity on me
and allow me to exist for love.
I'll be reincarnated time and again for you.
All I ever want is to be part of your life.
Even if it's just a dream,
I'd love to indulge in it and never wake up.
I come for you, my love
is the tenderest dialogue.
The mortal life is transient, but my love for you is permanent and always the same.
Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty Episode 5
Lady.
Lady, where are you?
-Lady. -Lady.
Lady.
-Lady. -Lady.
Look.
There is someone down there.
Go to have a look.
-OK. -Go. -Go.
-Lady. -Lady.
-Lady. -Lady. -Lady.
Lady. Hurry up.
-Lady. -Lady.
-My Lady. -My Lady. Wake up.
Lady. Wake up. Lady.
-Lady. -Wake up.
-Lady. -Lady.
Wake up.
Wake up. Lady.
Lady.
Lady. Lady.
She wakes up.
Lady.
Lady. Lady.
Lady, are you all right?
Lady, wake up.
-Lady. -Lady. -Lady.
My God.
What
are these things?
Why do I look like the dead girl?
Am I dreaming?
It seems to be real.
It's real.
What's going on?
Madame Wen
You finally woke up. Madame Wen
You finally woke up.
Wei,
you finally woke up.
Let me see.
Are you all right?
Does your head still hurt?
I'll send for another doctor.
Don't bother.
I'm fine.
I'm okay.
Thank God.
If my mother knows I am dead,
she must be sad.
Please,
please live for me.
She is the girl's mother.
Now she becomes my mother.
Thank God. Heaven helps the good man.
Mingwei is supremely fortunate. All is well.
You silly girl.
You're my only daughter.
You are my life.
You can't do stupid things later.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
I won't.
Good.
Now, I will arrange the servant girls to help you get washed.
Well,
I have to send a letter to your father,
so that he can rest assured.
Xiaotao.
Madame.
Take good care of Mingwei.
Yes, Madame.
Good.
My Lady,
it's good that you're all right.
I was worried about you.
My Lady, have some tea.
Do you see my pendant?
My Lady,
are you looking for this?
Yes.
Thank you.
My Lady,
why did I never see you
wearing this pendant before?
My Lady,
why did you wear a strange dress
that I'd never seen before?
Where's my dress?
We burned it.
If others saw it,
they would laugh at you.
You burned it?
It was very expensive.
I spent a month's salary.
Salary?
Forget it.
Just burn it.
What year is it now?
What year?
Well,
what's the title of the Emperor's reign?
My Lady,
are you confused?
It's the 45th year of Kangxi Era.
The 45th year of Kangxi period?
It's the era Yinxiang lives.
Yinxiang?
My Lady,
who is Yinxiang?
Forget it.
My Lady,
you must be hungry.
I'll go to the kitchen
to make something you like.
Don't bother.
I'll order a takeout.
Order,
order what?
Go to make something for me.
OK.
Unexpectedly, my wish came true.
If Yinxiang sees me now,
will he be as scared as me
the first time I saw him?
Yalaerta Mingwei.
This is my name now.
My father Yinglu is from the Bordered Yellow Banner.
He's the Minister of Revenue. It's a lucrative post.
My ancestors were warriors.
They fought with the late emperors on the battlefield
in exchanging for the present glory.
My mother Madame Wen comes from a family of scholars.
She only has one daughter,
namely me.
Mingwei has two aunts,
a sister and a brother.
And the reason why I got sick
was I was a lady-in-waiting,
but I didn't want to go to the palace.
I wanted to elope with my cousin,
but I fell off the cliff
by accident.
My Lady.
The shoes are too hard.
I don't want to wear them.
My Lady, why did you take off your shoes?
If Madame sees this,
she will scold me.
It's all right.
Wear them.
Put them there.
My Lady,
after you woke up,
you become a totally different person.
I forget a lot of things
after I fell off the cliff.
As you said,
I fell down the cliff
because I eloped with my cousin.
How is my cousin now?
Is he still at the foot of the cliff?
We just found you
at the foot of the cliff.
Master and Madame ordered
not to talk about it again.
You loved a bad guy.
It's good that I don't remember.
It's not bad to enter the palace as a lady-in-waiting.
I can meet His Majesty
and the princes and nobles.
Have you met the princes?
No.
The princes have high status.
I'm too humble to meet them.
You have to go to the palace,
and you may meet them.
Right.
I can't meet him unless I go to the palace.
=Yalaerta Minghui=
Mingwei.
This woman
looks exactly like Hui.
Did she also span over here?
She must be a bad person.
Mingwei,
where have you been recently?
I was worried about you.
I,
I forget everything in the past.
I'm fine.
Don't worry.
Xiaotao,
I have good ginseng in my room.
Take it to mend Mingwei's body.
OK, Lady Minghui.
Mingwei,
please forgive me.
Don't tell our father about it,
or he will kill me.
Get up.
I forget everything before.
I don't remember anything.
You don't remember anything?
You really don't remember anything?
I forget everything after I fell off the cliff.
Why do you apologize to me?
I don't remember anything.
It's my fault.
I encouraged you to elope with our cousin,
so you fell off the cliff.
It's my fault.
At that time, I saw that
you and our cousin were in love,
and you didn't want to take part in the imperial selection,
so I helped you.
But it turned out that our cousin was greedy for money.
Mingwei,
I backed the wrong horse.
Don't blame me.
I was wrong.
Mingwei, don't tell our father.
OK?
You drew a few drawings
and you think you're amazing?
Who do you think you are?
Can you be responsible for
such a big case?
The company has enough hands.
If you want to leave now, just leave.
Everyone can be replaced
in the project.
Mingwei.
OK. OK.
I promise you.
How to make a salute?
Make a salute?
You forget it?
Cut the crap. Hurry up.
Put hands here.
Then
step back.
Like this?
Yes.
OK.
Yes. Yes.
I have to go. Bye-bye.
Master,
Wei didn't want to take part in the imperial selection.
This time, she has suffered a lot.
She can't afford another disaster.
Master, please find a way
to help her avoid the imperial selection.
She's the legitimate daughter of the Yalaerta family
and recorded in the palace.
I have reported back to the palace.
Mingwei is ill and can't take part in the imperial selection.
=Yalaerta Yinglu= Hope the palace can forgive her.
But in the future, you need to discipline her.
You can't let her
do what she wishes
without restraint again.
OK.
Minghui,
you will take part in the imperial selection alone this time.
Bear in mind.
Speak and act cautiously.
Don't humiliate our Yalaerta family.
OK.
He doesn't allow me to go to the palace.
I can't see Yinxiang then.
No.
Father.
Mother.
I have recovered.
I can go to the palace for the imperial selection.
Well.
You didn't want to go to the palace before.
Your father has figured out a way for you.
Don't force yourself.
What I did made you worried.
I survived a great disaster this time.
I've figured out a lot of things.
I'd like to take part in the imperial selection for our Yalaerta family.
I won't escape.
Have you made up your mind?
Once you enter the palace, there is no chance to regret.
The palace is not like our house
where you can do whatever you want.
Yes, I've made up my mind.
I won't regret.
We're very happy that
you've changed your mind.
But our father has told the palace that
you're ill and can't take part in the imperial selection.
If he lets you go now,
others will gossip.
And you haven't recovered yet.
I'm afraid it's not suitable for entering the palace now.
You don't want me to
go to the palace for the imperial selection?
She is not qualified to gossip here.
The palace is so intricate.
Mother,
I know you love Mingwei dearly.
Let me go alone this time.
I will win honor for
our Yalaerta family.
I think
you'll humiliate our family.
For so many years,
you haven't figured out who you are.
Mingwei is my legitimate daughter,
while you're a concubine's daughter.
She's superior to you
in terms of identity and appearance.
She was unwilling to go to the palace,
or you wouldn't get the chance.
You overvalue yourself.
If you go to the palace,
you may make trouble.
Stop.
Don't quarrel.
I think
they two should go to the palace together,
so that they can take care of each other.
Wei,
don't be self-willed.
OK, I'll bear it in mind.
Minghui.
Father,
I'll take good care of Mingwei.
OK.
Take good care of Mingwei?
Hope you
don't hurt her.
Wei,
let's go for a walk.
Minghui is a concubine's daughter.
My mother is my father's legal wife.
My mother doesn't like Minghui,
but my father
loves both of us.
This family looks very complicated.
I have to be careful.
It's hard to tell what's going on in the minds of other people.
After you go to the palace,
you must be careful.
Mingwei,
I made two pairs of shoes.
We are about to go to the palace.
We have to advance and retreat together in the palace.
So I made two pairs to pray for good luck.
Try them on.
Thank you.
But
it may be the wrong size.
I'm afraid they're not suit for me.
Don't worry.
We wear the same size.
Both of us can wear them.
Try them on.
Why does she urge me
to try on the shoes?
Minghui, there's an insect on your back.
No.
I might make a mistake.
Mingwei, try on the shoes.
Well,
I'll wear them to show you.
So beautiful.
Be careful.
You sprain your foot.
Send her for a doctor.
Luckily, I changed the shoes just now.
Well,
has Mingwei left for the palace?
My Lady,
Master and Madame just sent Lady to the carriage.
She's on her way to the palace.
Good.
What a happy thing!
No need to serve me.
You can leave.
It wasn't me.
It was Mingwei.
You did something wrong
and shifted the blame onto Mingwei.
You're young,
but you lie.
I have to
teach you a lesson today.
Mother.
Shut up.
Drag her out.
Beat her until she admits.
Mother.
It wasn't me.
Mingwei, please.
Ask mother not to beat me.
It wasn't me.
Mother, it wasn't me.
Continue.
It wasn't me.
Will you admit it or not?
It wasn't me.
Shut her in the woodshed.
No. No.
I admit it.
I broke the vase.
Don't shut me in the woodshed.
Mingwei,
help.
Mingwei.
Mingwei, help.
Mingwei,
wait for me in the palace.
I will come to you.
Here we are.
So many people!
Neuropathy.
Sister Rongyue comes.
My Lady, here we are.
Sister Rongyue. Sister Rongyue.
Whose carriage is it?
She dares to be arrogant at the gate of the Department of Internal Affairs.
Sister Rongyue is so beautiful.
=Nalan Rongyue= Sister Rongyue is so beautiful.
=Nalan Rongyue=
Your dress is beautiful. =Nalan Rongyue=
Your dress is beautiful.
Her dress is beautiful.
Who is she?
She wears splendid jewels
and an arrogant face.
My Lady,
she's the daughter of the Nalan family.
Ordinary people can't afford to offend her.
If you make friends with her after you enter the palace,
that will help you a lot.
What's the big deal with the Nalan family?
The Nalan family can be arrogant?
This is the imperial palace.
Nalan?
The legendary Nalan?
Her aunt is Noble Consort Nalan.
It turns out she comes form a good background.
My Lady,
I have to stop here.
=Zheng Chunhua=
Xiaoqiu?
She's not Xiaoqiu,
but she looks like Xiaoqiu.
And Minghui.
What happened?
Did I live 300 years ago
but I'm back now?
Forget it.
I have to find Yinxiang.
My name is Yalaerta Mingwei.
I'm here at last.
The majestic Forbidden City,
the imperial garden,
has appeared in my dream countless times.
What's wrong?
Are you all right?
Do you know me?
What?
Well,
you look familiar to me,
so I asked casually.
Hello.
My name is Yalaerta Mingwei.
You can call me Wei.
May I have your name?
I'm Chunhua
from the Zheng family of Han Banners.
Tell me.
Who do you like?
We are educated
and receive higher education.
You can not be a mistress.
You look very much like a friend of mine.
I'll take you for her.
We are friends afterwards.
Friends?
Sisters.
It's the first time I've seen
a frank man like you.
You can call me Xiaochun.
Xiaochun?
Xiaoqiu?
You two really have nothing to do with each other?
Well,
I mean,
nice to meet you.
Let's go.
Go.
You two live in these two rooms.
You know,
the ladies-in-waiting who lived in these two rooms
are promising.
Concubines
and ladies
used to live there.
You're lucky.
After you live there,
you'll be blessed,
=Qin Zhu'er=
win the favor of His Majesty =Qin Zhu'er=
win the favor of His Majesty
and become wealthy and prestigious.
We're flattered.
Hope you can help us afterwards.
I will.
This way, please.
Miss Mingwei,
here is your room.
Miss Chunhua,
your room is the next door.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I've sent someone
to put your luggage in your rooms.
Thank you.
You'll win the favor of His Majesty
and become wealthy and prestigious.
If you need anything in the future,
turn to me.
I'm sure I'll arrange everything for you properly.
Thank you.
Have a rest.
I have to arrange rooms
for other ladies-in-waiting.
I have to go.
With you living next to me,
I'm at ease.
Since I came here,
I have been worried.
Wei,
are you worried about the imperial selection?
You know,
I'm not here for the imperial selection.
I'm looking for someone.
All of you are from the Eight Banners.
But in the Palace of Accumulated Elegance,
you have to follow the rules.
You must know
the rules are the most important
in the palace.
To begin with,
you can't leave the Palace of Accumulated Elegance
without authorization.
How can I find him
in this case?
All of you have to
stay in the Palace of Accumulated Elegance
and learn etiquette
from the old Armos.
There are many rules
and forbidden areas in the palace.
For example, you can't trespass on
the North Garden not far from here.
If found,
you'll be punished by caning
or beheaded
at worst.
By then,
no one can save you.
If you have
any questions,
you can turn to me and the old Armos.
We will answer your questions one by one.
The Forbidden City is so vast.
How to find Yinxiang?
Yinxiang,
where are you?
I have to stay here.
I don't know when I can find Yinxiang
and what else is waiting for me.
Forget it.
Things will eventually sort themselves out.
Miss Nalan,
you chose that room by yourself,
but now you say that room is not good
= Xiaoyu = and ask Miss Xiaoyu to give up her room.
It's against the rules.
Don't mention the rules to me.
I'm tired.
Hurry to clean up.
I need a rest.
OK.
But...
Eunuch Qin,
it's not the first time I've been in the palace.
According to my aunt,
the rules are the most important in the palace.
Is she the right person to live in the main room?
What's going on?
I don't know.
I give you
the room.
Don't throw my things.
Don't.
Eunuch Qin,
do you hear it?
She said she would give me the room.
You...
Sorry.
I stepped on your dress.
Is it a dress?
It makes my shoes dirty.
Who is she?
I don't know.
I haven't seen her before.
Don't be a bully.
Who are you?
It doesn't matter who I am.
What matters is that I don't bully others
and disgrace my parents.
How dare you scold me!
Noble Consort Nalan is my aunt.
You know,
it's very impolite
to point at others when talking.
I'll show you something new.
Noble Consort Nalan is your aunt,
but she's His Majesty's consort.
If everyone throws weight around,
the people will have a hard time.
Order your maids
to pick the things up.
Let me go.
Pick the things up.
You wicked girl.
What witchcraft are you using?
Pull her away.
Let her go.
Sister Rongyue.
If you do this again,
I'll treat you like this.
Be careful.
Go.
I don't dare.
Rude girl,
do you still want this room?
Wait and see.
Let's go.
But I'm still scared.
But the more cowardly you are,
the more arrogant she is.
Wei,
you offended Nalan Rongyue.
I'm afraid
it won't be easy for you
to stay in the palace in the future.
Her aunt is second only to the Empress
in the palace.
I know she's got a backer.
She's too arrogant.
She's scheming.
I don't want to stay in the palace anyway.
I'll leave after I find him.
Sister,
you're really not afraid?
I have offended her.
It's useless to be afraid.
Besides,
the rules
are the most important in the palace.
She's gone too far.
I'm Xiaoyu.
Nice to meet you.
You're Xiaoyu?
To be honest,
you look very much
like a colleague of mine.
I mean it.
Eat.
What does colleague mean?
Colleagues are those
who work with you.
Brothers,
this is the high quality tea
specially brought in by someone
from outside the palace.
Taste it.
Thank you, Crown Prince.
Taste it.
Well,
according to the Department of Astronomy,
the astronomical spectacle that stars fall like rain will come soon.
It's a rare sight in a century.
=Kangxi, Aisin Gioro Xuanye= It's a rare sight in a century.
=Kangxi, Aisin Gioro Xuanye=
By then,
let's get all the people in the palace together
to enjoy the spectacle.
Since you're interested,
=Noble Consort Nalan= Since you're interested,
=Noble Consort Nalan=
let's hold a banquet on the observation platform, =Noble Consort Nalan=
let's hold a banquet on the observation platform,
so that everyone can share joy
and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your Majesty.
Isn't it a good thing?
Yes.
The palace hasn't been so lively for a long time.
Why don't we take this opportunity to hold a banquet,
=Consort De=
so that the princes and princesses in the palace =Consort De=
can have fun together?
Noble Consort Nalan is right.
It's a good idea.
Father,
according to ancient books,
the five stars
in the east in the sky
show your grand moral virtues
and the prosperous country.
The appearance of the meteor in July
just confirms your virtue
and is the auspicious sign of the flourishing age.
Father,
Yinsi and Yinti are right.
So
=Crown Prince, Aisin Gioro Yinreng= So
=Crown Prince, Aisin Gioro Yinreng=
the star watching banquet can't be ignored. =Crown Prince, Aisin Gioro Yinreng=
the star watching banquet can't be ignored.
It must be done in a grand way.
You're right.
I think
the princes should be responsible for
the star watching banquet,
so that we can see
how capable they are.
Father,
I want to recommend someone.
Who?
Yinzhen is in charge of
the Department of Internal Affairs.
Everything is arranged in perfect order.
I believe that you must have known that.
He can also arrange the star watching banquet.
Yinzhen,
Yinxiang recommends you.
What do you think?
Father,
I'm flattered.
But if I can do something for you,
I will try my best.
Since you're the most experienced,
I'll leave
the star watching banquet to you.
OK.
These cakes are specially served
in the palace today.
Well,
taste them.
Yinxiang,
the Jiangsu Administrative Commissioner was jailed
for embezzling the relief fund without permission.
But I heard that he was honest and upright
and had a great reputation in the local area.
He's not like someone who would do such a thing.
Could it be that...
There are frequent floods in Jiangnan in recent years.
The Administrative Commissioner led the local people to
build dams and dikes with work for relief.
A good official like him
should not embezzle funds and food for disaster relief.
There may be a hidden story.
Yinxiang,
you are very busy these days.
Father asked you to
investigate the corruption case.
It's not easy
to do this well.
Yeah.
Have you got anything?
Thank you for your attention.
The bigger the case,
the more we have to look into it.
But there are many doubts in this case.
It makes me worried.
I wonder
why father asked you
to handle this tricky case.
The case is not just about local officials.
I don't have to
say much about the stakes.
Yinxiang, be careful.
Don't offend someone you shouldn't offend.
Yintang,
you have an idea?
Forget it.
Eat some more.
I heard
Yintang won officials over recently
and offered much money
and many houses.
The way you win people's support
makes me feel ashamed.
But Yingsi and Yintang
also handled
the funds and food for disaster relief.
Why don't you mention it now?
Yinxiang.
Yin'e,
the cakes are delicious.
Why don't you sit down and have some more?
Yinxiang knows
how to solve the case.
Yintang, don't worry.
Yintang,
if you want to get involved,
why don't you ask father
to send you to Jiangnan
to relieve the people?
Then you can shares father's worries.
Yinzhen is showing off that
father thinks highly of him.
Yinxiang is ordered to solve the case,
and you're ordered to arrange the star watching banquet.
You're busy.
I'm afraid
you'll fail in the end.
Yintang, Yin'e,
don't be rude.
This is the Crown Prince's mansion.
What you said
embarrasses Crown Prince.
Crown Prince,
they don't know the rules.
Forgive them.
Yinzhen,
you're responsible for the star watching banquet this time.
It's not easy
to do it well.
Do you have any idea?
No.
I want to
listen to your opinions.
We are
not knowledgeable.
We dare not give you any advice.
Stop that.
Don't argue.
Father pays great attention to this star watching banquet.
We should work together
to help Yinzhen to arrange the star watching banquet.
Yes.
You're right.
Yinzhen,
if you need any help,
turn to us.
OK.
Thank you, Yinsi.
If I meet difficulties,
I will
turn to you.
Have some tea.
Good.
Well,
let's discuss
how to hold the star watching banquet.
Where can I find Yinxiang?
It's said that the princes
live in the east.
Where's east?
If only there were GPS.
Without phones, it's really inconvenient in ancient times.
Upper north, lower south,
left west and right east.
This is a gift from you.
It's your sincerity.
I like it so much,
but watching it
makes me miss you more.
Yinxiang,
I don't want to wait anymore.
Tell me.
For you,
what should the future me do
to see you?
Yinxiang,
here I am.
But why don't I see you?
Where can I find you?
Wei.
Yinxiang.
I'm sitting on the rooftop.
The breeze kisses my face.
I feel it light.
The scenery is gorgeous,
but I feel so lonely.
You and I
live in two different spaces.
In your space it's also spring.
There's also a gentle breeze.
There's also this beautiful scenery.
Your face is close to mine.
I can feel your breath.
Your smile has been engraved in the azure sky.
On the lonely rooftop I find no trace of you.
Engraved in my mind
is your tearful face.
I'm no stronger than you.
Deep inside, I'm weeping.
But I want you to remember
my smiling face.
Your face is close to mine.
I can feel your breath.
Your smile has been engraved in the azure sky.
On the lonely rooftop I find no trace of you.
Engraved in my mind
is your tearful face.
I'm no stronger than you.
Deep inside, I'm weeping.
But I want you to remember

I'm no stronger than you.

my smiling face.
