[Episode 9]
Miss Xiao Wei, Miss Xiao Wei.
It's time to get up.
It's very late already.
We're all waiting for you.
Miss Xiao Wei.
It's...
It's not good you miss it.
I... I'm going in.
Miss Xiao Wei.
My goodness,
the imperial selection will begin soon.
Why are you still sleeping?
What are you doing?
Eunuch,
I feel bad.
Don't... don't scare me.
What's wrong with you?
My head aches.
I'm uncomfortable all over.
I want to vomit.
My goodness,
how can you be sick at this point?
The selection will begin soon.
I don't expect this either.
Wait a minute.
I'll go and get help now.
Where is Xiao Wei?
Why is she still not here?
Miss Xiao Chun.
stand there, please.
But it's Xiao Wei's place.
Miss Yalaerta is sick today
and she can't attend it.
She was all right yesterday.
Why would she be sick today?
She has successfully fawned on the princes
so she's exempt from the selection.
None of us can
compare with her in playing tricks.
Armo,
are you sure
Xiao Wei is sick?
If she weren't sick,
why didn't she come for the selection?
As you know,
we'll be beheaded if we deceive the emperor.
Armo,
I'll be out for a while.
Miss Nalan,
the selection will begin soon.
You can't leave.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Get out of my way.
Well...
She didn't attend the selection
because she doesn't want to marry the old emperor.
With princes' backing,
she dares deceive the emperor.
Since she's seeking death,
let's make it quicker.
Are you sure she's pretending to be sick?
We'll see
when the doctor comes and examines her.
If she's sick,
stop making an issue of it.
Otherwise,
you'll be known for being petty.
Aunt,
she's not a patch on me
but the princes give preference to her.
Even Consort De appreciates her.
I don't accept it.
Alright.
Physician Lu is here.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Forego formalities.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
There's something I need to
trouble you today.
Please, Your Majesty.
A lady in the Palace of Accumulated Elegance
is sick and can't attend the selection today.
You are an outstanding physician.
I want you to diagnose her
and see what's wrong with her
and you can treat her accordingly.
She's pretending to be sick.
If she's not sick,
she'll be deceiving the emperor
and punished according to the law.
I see.
I will go right now.
It's not waste watching those TV plays.
I acted so well.
Miss Xiao Wei.
You are really fortunate.
Eunuch.
Consort Nalan heard you were sick
and specially sent a physician to diagnose you.
What?
You... you... what...
I... I didn't...
Eunuch.
-I... -You...
I didn't cheat you.
I'm really sick.
I didn't see anything.
I don't know anything.
I didn't see anything.
I don't know anything.
I'm screwed.
Her pulse is steady
and normal.
She's obviously shamming.
Soldiers,
take this woman who deceives the emperor.
Wait. Wait.
Take her away.
No. Wait a second.
Take her away.
Wait a second.
I really feel bad.
My hand itches.
It's a rash.
Do I have smallpox?
That's overstated.
It's just a rash.
It's hay fever.
But lady,
your food and clothing
are provided by the palace.
How would you get a rash?
Is he talking about allergy?
I have no idea.
But I hear drink,
seafood
and even flowers can all cause a rash.
Everything I use
in the palace is new.
How should I know why I got a rash?
Physician,
do you think I can attend the selection in this state?
If I embarrass myself
and enrage His Majesty...
I will
give you a
prescription later.
Stay here
and have a rest.
Thank you, physician.
Let's go.
I've been to the jaws of death again.
It's so frightening.
What's wrong with me? It itches so much.
Congratulations, Sis.
You were really fortunate.
You were granted a lady.
So were you.
What's wrong with me?
But however fortunate we were,
we still had nothing on someone
who had seduced the princes long ago.
Yes.
When it comes to seduction,
we're really not in her league.
Aren't you sick?
Why did you
come out so obtrusively?
Xiao Chun!
Even your only friend despises you.
You deserve it.
I think I deserve it, too.
Come here.
I'll tell you something.
The physician said I had smallpox.
If you don't want to be infected,
you'd better stay away from me.
You...
She...
Xiao Chun,
how are you doing?
Xiao Wei,
aren't you sick?
I thought you had an acute illness.
But you look fine now.
I'm indeed sick.
I itch all over.
Look!
You're really sick?
Come with me.
Let's talk in private.
You know what?
It's true that I pretended ill this morning.
But the rash is real.
Look!
Otherwise, how could the physician
sent by Nalan Rong yue let me off?
I would have been dead.
Why did you do that?
Aren't you afraid of death?
Yes, I am.
But I'm not here for the selection
but to find someone.
If I have to fight with women
all my life in the palace,
I'll be depressed.
Your thoughts are always so different.
But
that's not what I think.
I was lucky enough to get this chance.
You were selected?
I've been granted a First Attendant.
But you don't seem happy.
I'm happy.
I just don't know how to cope with life here.
I'll be all alone
without you at my side.
I'm scared.
Don't be.
I don't know the road in front of me either.
But take things as they come.
Just relax and bravely
face what you have to face.
Things in the future
have all been decided by fate.
What I admire you most is that
you're content with life
and don't fear anything.
I'm forced to be like that.
I just hope I can find him quickly.
Alright, let's eat.
Okay.
Mother.
You're here, Brother Four.
Yin Ti, have a seat.
Another dish.
Yes.
Except on my birthday and holidays,
you seldom come to
see me together.
Brother Four is busy with his duties.
I'm always idle
so I can see you often.
He must have specially
come here for something.
Your brother is here for Yin Xiang.
Yin Xiang got his eye on a lady
and wants me to accept her
as a lady official here.
Ming Wei was sick during the selection
and Brother Four specially came here
to help Yin Xiang ask for her.
What a coincidence.
Are you implying
something, Brother Fourteen?
Mother, did you know
this lady had cause a lot of tempests
since she entered the palace?
You know her, too?
Mother,
there are many people in the palace,
disputes are all around.
As far as I know,
that lady was framed up before.
Mother, you're wise.
You must have known it.
Brother Four,
you don't need to
defend her for Yin Xiang so hurriedly.
Otherwise it'll appear that you are
concealing something.
Yin Xiang woudn't have his eye on someone
who's always stirring things up.
She's thought poorly of in the palace
but she's quite funny.
She will fight injustice
for someone else.
Though she's a bit ignorant,
she's honest and sincere.
Yin Xiang is a man of discrimination.
You're right, Brother Fourteen,
That lady
is indeed a righteous person.
She's just a little rash.
Mother, if you teach her personally,
I believe she'll be
something in the future.
Mother, you always dislike flattery.
I think you'll be
satisfied with her, too.
You seldom
agree with each other.
That lady is indeed out of the ordinary.
Otherwise, Yin Xiang can't be attracted by her.
Mother,
let alone others,
Brother Four specially came to ask for her today,
you should give her a chance.
After hearing what you said,
I'm filled with curiosity
and I want to see what
this woman have got,
be praised so much by my sons.
Mother,
do you mean you agree?
You have said so much.
Can I not agree?
Serve us rice, Dong Lian.
Yes.
Let's eat.
I'll thank you on behalf of Yin Xiang, Mother.
Eat.
Thanks, Brother Fourteen.
Brother Fourteen.
What?
Characteristically,
you don't speak for Yin Xiang.
But today you did that.
It's really surprising.
You think I have some ulterior motive?
You cheated Miss Ming Wei
because of Xiao Yu
and you're guilty about it
so you want to make it up to her, right?
You won't easily do anything, but you...
went to so much trouble for Yin Xiang.
That's what's surprising, isn't it?
Speak directly.
Ying Lu was promoted recently
and he's the hottest
figure at court.
Everyone is wooing him.
Unconventionally,
you started from his daughter.
If you say
these things to Brother Eight,
perhaps it'll work.
That's true.
It's hard to
see you through.
But don't think you can
easily guess what I want.
Whatever your aim is,
I advise you to drop ideas that you shouldn't have.
She' just a lady.
What do you think I can be up to?
Or do you think that
I'll steal her from Yin Xiang?
What if
I really want to do that?
Don't you dare.
Sometimes I'm wondering
whether I'm your blood brother
or Yin Xiang.
Originally I didn't intend to do that.
But you care so much
about Yin Xiang.
It aroused my interest.
I know you like it
so I specially brought it for you.
Isn't this
the red coral bracelet
His Majesty gave you before?
It's a tribute from the Western Regions
and it's the only one
in the whole palace.
I know you like it
so I specially brought it for you.
Do you have something to discuss with me?
Feel free to say it.
Don't stand on ceremony.
You are so straightforward.
I'll get to the point, then.
The selection is over.
I want to ask for a girl
to be a lady official
in the Palace of Eternal Spring.
I wonder who makes you so generous.
Yalaerta Ming Wei.
Why did you ask for
no one else but her?
You disagree?
No.
But Consort Liang asked for her, too.
I've got to take this girl seriously, then.
Prince Eight wants Ming Wei, too?
I haven't agreed yet.
I didn't expect
you would ask for her, too.
It has me stumped now.
I didn't mean to stump you.
But both Prince Four and Fourteen
came to see me for this matter,
so I had to talk about it with you.
It's good that they're of one mind.
That's not really true.
Although Prince Four and Fourteen
are brothers
by the same mother,
they seem destined
never to get along.
This time
they came to see me for the same person
and the same matter.
I don't want to disappoint them.
I understand.
As a mother,
that's the most gratifying.
But Consort Liang...
I don't want to hurt the harmony
between you and Consort Liang.
If you really find it hard to decide,
I'll think of another plan.
You have said so much.
If I don't agree,
I will be too inconsiderate.
Well, thank you.
You're welcome.
Well, I won't brother you rest.
Your Majesty,
there's something I don't understand.
You granted Consort De's request.
How should we deal with Consort Liang?
Although Consort Liang is Prince Eight's mother,
she's favored by His Majesty.
Why don't I do Consort De a favor?
Perhaps she will
put in a word for me
in front of His Majesty.
You are so thoughtful.
Miss Xiao Wei,
I'll stop here.
From now on,
you'll be a lady official of Consort De.
Eunuch,
do you know who put me here?
I... I have no idea.
You'll count on yourself in future.
Be careful.
Okay. Thanks.
Goodbye.
Pretend ill.
Help!
Stop yelling.
It's me.
Do you know you could have scared me to death?
Shouting loudly.
Looks like you're okay.
Answer me. Was it you?
What?
Stop pretending. [pretend ill]
How are you going to thank me, then?
Thank you?
Your stupid idea
almost killed me.
Aren't you alright now?
You can keep your wits about you.
But
I'm so smart that...
I spread juice of lacquer tree which can cause
a rash on everyone on this note.
Otherwise, you would have...
The rash was your idea?
I didn't expect you're reliable.
Reliable.
What is that?
It is...
Did you put me in the Palace of Eternal Spring?
Without a follow-up plan,
what did I ask you to pretend ill for?
Are you ready to thank me?
It's quite late.
Prince Thirteen,
you should go back now.
You...
It's indecent for us
to stay in the same room.
If Consort De knows it,
won't all of your
schemes be in vain?
Prince Thirteen, please.
Fine.
Thanks.
How interesting.
I'll definitely have you.
Jesus,
are the ancient people all so open?
You'll be in charge of the Pavilion of Concentrated Fragrance.
What are stored here
are all sorts of rare items
of our palace.
Yes, Armo.
You're new here.
You'll be responsible for cleaning
and taking care of these items.
Yes, Armo.
Now you're a lady official
serving Consort De here.
You have to keep your nose clean
and don't stir up trouble.
Remember?
Yes.
I will obey rules of the palace,
consider you as a model,
listen to you
and earnestly serve Consort De.
Do you best.
Okay.
This is a good start.
Wonderful.
Unexpectedly,
I would be able to touch
these priceless works of art.
I'm so happy.
It's the first time
I've been surrounded by so many treasures.
I couldn't even dream about it.
Stop wandering.
You'll become shiny
after I clean you.
I won't be scared
by you.
Sorry.
I didn't know it was you.
My bad.
You've cooled down now, haven't you?
Alright, stop it.
Answer me. Have you cooled down?
No. Let go of me.
If you haven't cooled down,
I won't let go of you.
Let go. Did you hear me?
Let go.
Brother Fourteen.
It's improper for you
to do that, isn't it?
You didn't answer me.
I'll consider that you've cooled down.
See you later.
That maid
is quite funny.
Did he hurt you?
Yes.
Thank you for asking.
Was he making trouble for you?
I don't know.
He seemed to be apologizing.
Maybe he really wanted to apologize.
I won't accept apologies of that kind.
Luckily you arrived here.
Have you considered
how to thank me, then?
I won't thank you.
Stop coming between me and my work.
Even if you don't thank me,
I won't abandon you.
Everyone in the palace knows that
you'll be my woman.
Thanks.
But none of you princes
are good men.
What about Brother Four?
He's an exception.
Your Majesty,
this is edible bird's nest from the South.
I hear it's good for
our lungs and skins
and prolong our lives.
Prince Four has meticulously picked it for you.
Have you given some to your wives?
Yes.
Don't worry, Mother.
Thank you.
Greetings, Mother.
Brother Four.
I forgot to bring you gifts.
Don't say that.
We're a family.
There's no need to be so courteous.
Now that Yin Ti is here,
well,
let's eat, then.
Come on.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Mother, sit.
Have a seat.
Nice.
Let's eat.
Mother,
it's your favorite, fish face meat.
There's only a piece of it in a fish.
Thank you.
But I will give
the best to my child.
Thank you, Mother.
Try this, Mother.
What's the matter?
I'm okay. It's an old illness.
I'm okay.
Don't worry, Mother.
I'll find the best medicine for you.
Come on,
Yin Ti,
try the shrimp
my cooks are most adept at.
Try it, too, Mother.
Okay. Okay.
Yin Zhen, help yourself.
Try this, too.
It's delicious.
-You eat it first, Mother. -Okay.
You like meat most, don't you?
You were so chubby when you were a kid.
-You're too thin now. -Mother,
I have grown up.
Yin Ti,
have a rest here.
I've lit your favorite aquilaria.
Thanks, Mother.
Mother,
I'll be out for a while.
Okay.
Prince Four,
It's late to bake oranges，
so I made pear soup for you.
It can ease your cough.
Thank you.
Is it because of the acquilaria?
Why didn't you ask Her Majesty to change it?
It's alright.
It's not a big deal.
She was so happy.
But you felt bad.
Sorry.
I'm being officious.
You mean it can remove my calluses?
In my hometown,
this is called "hand mask."
It can make your hands
be as fair and supple as
those of a sixteen-year-old girl.
You cheeky girl,
you always know these strange things.
With my help,
your hands will be in excellent condition.
Armo,
you've served Her Majesty for long, haven't you?
Was she especially beautiful when she was young?
Of course.
Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have loved her so much.
Her faces
were as delicate as
tofu that's just made.
His Majesty cared so much for her.
Now she's even more
charming than before.
When did she
start to cough, then?
You're still not giving up?
That's because I care about her
and want her to get rid of it.
You stupid girl.
At that time, it wasn't Her Majesty who coughed
but Prince Four who was just a month old.
Her Majesty was so worried
and boiled fish mint for him.
It's too bad that
he was taken away
before he recovered.
Why?
It's a rule of the palace.
Princes can't be raised by their own mothers.
It makes her pain
to mention fish mint
or drink it.
You have no idea how sad she was.
Fish mint.
Miss Xiao Wei,
here are the medical books you want.
What are you looking for?
I found it.
What did you find?
Fish Mint.
It has a hot taste
and smells like fish.
Thus, it's commonly known as fish mint.
It can cure lung pain
and cough.
Miss Xiao Wei,
do you have a cough?
Why are you looking for fish mint?
I don't have a cough.
It can not only cure cough
but also the relationship between mother and son.
What?
Fish mint
grows on the marshes
as well as shady places in valleys.
But the imperial palace is in the North.
Where can I find it?
Miss Xiao Wei,
you've been talking to yourself.
I don't know what you're saying.
Please tell me.
Why on earth are you looking for fish mint?
Where's Prince Thirteen?
Shun'er.
Keep quiet.
You asked to
see me so urgently.
What's up?
It is for
Prince Four.
Why?
Could you arrange for Prince Four and me to go to the imperial wood?
Of course not.
Why?
No reason.
I just can't.
You refused without asking for the reason.
Anyway,
you just can't leave the palace with Brother Four alone.
Are you jealous?
I'm jealous?
I just think that...
I'm just afraid if you and Brother Four
leave the palace alone,
you'll act on impulse and get him into trouble.
What if
it's to repair Prince Four's relationship
with Consort De?
What has that go to do with
your leaving the palace with Brother Four?
You don't need to mind that.
Just trust me.
You promise?
You can count on me.
Shun'er, let's go.
You dressing?
It's convenient
and can save you some trouble.
Okay. Get on.
Hold it.
Sit still.
Go.
Fish mint.
It's not fishy at all.
It's not it.
It's getting late.
Time to go back.
I'm not going.
I haven't found it yet.
If you keep doing it,
we'll have to stay overnight here.
Go.
Let me stay for a little longer.
Just a minute.
Who is this for?
You're so doing your best.
Some drugs are wanted in the palace.
I need to look for them.
For real?
Look at me.
Say it again.
Some drugs are wanted in the palace.
I need to look for them.
You lied to me.
There's no need for me to stay here.
I'll say it.
Consort De has coughed a lot recently.
I hear fish mint can cure her.
You're wasting your energy.
You should have known that
my mother won't touch or eat fish mint.
But if you personally pick
and boil it for her,
she'll definitely eat it.
And then you'll have a good
relationship with her again.
No wonder you asked me to look for
drugs with you instead of Yin Xiang.
But let me tell you,
I'm the clearest about
my relationship with my mother.
You don't need to bother.
But don't you want to cure her cough?
She's your own mother.
So what?
Now that everything will be in vain,
there's no point in wasting energy.
Okay.
I will cure your mother myself.
I won't go back
until I find fish mint.
If you don't want to stay here,
go back to the palace yourself.
You...
How dare you submit me with my mother?
You...
Fish mint.
Look.
Get up quickly.
Are you okay, Xiao Wei?
Yes.
I found fish mint.
I can cure your mother's cough.
You disregarded your life for fish mint.
Prince Four,
I'm sorry.
I was so self-willed
and you have to stay overnight here.
Are you still angry with me?
If I were angry with you,
I would have been gone.
You're sure to catch a cold
if we go back now.
We'd better rest here
and go back tomorrow morning.
Prince Four,
did you grow up on the grassland
and you like carefree life
on horseback the most?
I grew up in the palace.
I seldom go to the grassland.
Are dragon fruit and
and looped cake your favorites?
Who told you
I like dragon fruit and looped cake?
Prince Thirteen.
Those are his favorites.
Prince Thirteen...
I asked him what you liked
and he fooled me.
He always likes joking.
You'll get used to it.
What did you
ask what I liked for?
No... nothing.
Okay.
