♥ Eternal Love of Dream ♥
Episode 16
Hurry up.
Are you fond of what I've awarded you?
Your Majesty.
It seems
you aren't fond of them.
Thanks for your preference, Your Majesty.
But I'm used to the simplicity of country life,
so I don't like these from the bottom of my heart.
I know it.
You're not the same as ordinary women.
But you've been entitled to Madam now,
and your spending on food and clothing has sharply increased.
You used to live in poverty.
Simplicity doesn't mean poverty.
And what you've awarded me
has gone far beyond what a Madam should have, hasn't it?
I want to show you how much I care for you.
You can regard them as the compensation for you being wronged.
If Your Majesty does treat me with your heart,
please withdraw all these rewards.
Are you still mad at me?
I dare not.
I'm really wronged,
but Your Majesty has
cleared the name for me,
and even entitled me to Madam.
How come I'm still mad at Your Majesty?
The why do you always feel down
and avoid me?
I'm used to the unfettered life,
and I haven't adapted to the life of being a Madam.
It's because of the way I'm made
that I can't change the lifestyle
for a while.
So I'm asking a favor of Your Majesty
to withdraw all these rewards.
If I keep all these rewards in the Yue Hua Palace
I'll feel more uncomfortable.
Then you're not mad at me anymore?
I'm not mad at Your Majesty.
What do you want?
Holding your hand...
What's the second part?
I remember Aunt feels happy every time
when Uncle says these words to her.
Holding your hand...
And living a happy life with you till our hairs turn gray.
As you wish.
Withdraw all of them.
Yes.
Quick. Quick. Quick. Withdraw all.
Keep the censer.
Move.
Hurry up.
Your Majesty.
I made the incense in person,
and I also selected the censer for you.
Do you like it?
Your Majesty made it in person?
I like it.
This kind of reward is enough for me.
I'll protect you from now on.
And I won't force you to do anything.
That Madam Jiu insisted on withdrawing all the rewards
once made His Majesty furious,
but in the end,
His Majesty still did what Madam Jiu wished.
It shows although Madam Jiu is raised in a humble home,
she is one of broad outlook.
She is either the kindest,
or the evilest.
You're right, Your Majesty.
I don't mean that I don't believe in Ren'er,
but once a man
falls in love with a woman,
he will always miss something important.
You're a bystander.
As far as you're concerned, which kind does Madam Jiu belong to?
Please forgive me for saying it out straight.
Madam Jiu
is simple and innocent, which doesn't like pretending.
And...
Spill it out.
I'll forgive you.
The great affection that His Majesty has for Madam Jiu
won't be less than
that Madam Jiu has for His Majesty.
If a woman
truly falls in love with a man,
she'll shun no difficulties and dangers,
and won't hesitate to sacrifice herself if needed.
As our servants can see,
what's happening can prove the saying...
Only envy of an affectionate couple but not being an immortal.
You're wise, You Majesty.
In those days, the late Empress Dowager
also scolded the sister and the late Emperor the same as I did.
I've never felt I'm getting old before.
I haven't expected
I've already followed what the late Empress Dowager did,
even though I'm not as aged as the late Empress Dowager.
Your Majesty worries about His Majesty
out of motherliness.
Now that you're saying so,
I'm more relieved.
You go back first.
But remember,
always keep an eye on what's happening.
If something goes wrong, report to me as soon as possible.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I, Ye Qingti, am bowing to Your Highness Jiu.
General, can we have a talk privately?
Keep going on patrol. I'll come later.
Yes.
I have something to tell you, Your Highness.
I have one thing to return to Your Highness.
Qingti,
thanks for what you've done to people
in our Yue Hua Palace.
I have nothing else to requite you
but these boxes of flower-made ointment.
Thanks, Your Highness.
You have to use it on time.
If it's not enough,
you can come to me.
Please show me that you look in good health.
Yes.
Your Highness,
is the reason why you ask me to inquire the patrol schedule of General Ye
to wait here
and send the flower-made ointment to General Ye?
Of course.
General Ye has saved our lives.
We have to requite him.
Rest assured.
The three boxes of flower-made ointment
were sent in the name of Yue Hua Palace.
His kindness to you can also be repaid.
Your Highness is so considerate.
I'm worrying for...
For what?
Forget it.
Your Highness is frank. You might tease me.
Spill it out or not?
I'll keep it. I'll keep it.
Your Highness,
I...
I'm going to make preparation for your shower.
Say it.
Your Highness, I'll keep it.
Say it.
I don't. I don't. Say it.
Muyun.
Your Majesty, where are we going?
I'll take you to an important place
outside the Imperial Palace.
Where is it?
You'll know when we get there.
But...
Your Majesty,
Wan Yun Palace has sent someone to report just now
that Imperial Concubine Wan has been ill for several days.
Imperial Concubine Wan is sick?
Imperial Concubine Wan is sick,
so Your Majesty should go check on her.
But where we are going is also very important.
Life-and-death matter of
Imperial Concubine Wan outweighs that.
Fine. We'll go there another day.
But you have to escort me to the Wan Yun Palace.
Let's go.
His Majesty is coming.
Bow to Your Majesty.
Stop bowing.
Please forgive me for bowing on the bed.
I've heard you're sick.
Xiaojiu and I are both worried about you.
So we come to check on you especially.
Do you feel better, Sister?
Thanks for your consideration, Your Majesty.
Just minor illnesses.
I'm sorry to make Your Majesty and Madam Jiu worried.
I exclusively call Imperial Physician Hu
to check on you.
What's wrong?
I'm incapable. The pulse manifestation of Imperial Concubine Wan is strange.
I've never seen it in my entire life.
Is it that serious?
No, it's not.
I can't diagnose whether the disease is serious or not from the pulse manifestation.
I'm not sure...
What do you mean? Say it out loud.
The pulse has no rhythm.
It changes all the time, sometimes fast while sometimes slow.
It also shows the subtle sign of deeply poisoned,
but Imperial Concubine Wan hasn't showed any other symptom,
which means she isn't poisoned.
I'm incapable of diagnosing anyway.
Please, please forgive my incompetence, Your Majesty.
Ji Heng belongs to the Demon Clan.
It's sure that her pulse manifestation is different from that of the ordinary.
Your medical skill ranks the first
among imperial physicians.
You can't even diagnose the disease, can you?
Don't worry, Your Majesty.
I know how I feel myself.
I just get a cold.
I'll be fine with two days of rest.
I hope so.
Since you have checked on her,
give a prescription.
Yes. Your Majesty.
I'm going to make up the prescription for opsonization.
It's because Imperial Physician Hu is getting old
that makes his medical skill less outstanding than before.
Otherwise, I call some other imperial physicians
to check on you.
Don't bother, Your Majesty.
Thanks for your consideration, Your Majesty.
Could I ask for one day or two rest?
I might be fine soon.
If I don't feel better after two days off
or I'm not cured,
I might call the consultation of imperial physicians as well.
That makes sense.
Xiaojiu, let's leave first
to allow Imperial Concubine Wan to have a good rest.
If you're satisfied with the prescription that Imperial Physician Hu gives,
then have a try.
Let it go, if not.
Yes. Your Majesty.
Then I will visit you another day, Sister.
Thanks, Madam Jiu.
Now you're granted noble status,
you'd better call me Younger Sister.
That won't cause the misunderstanding of status.
Feel free from overelaborate etiquette, since you're sick.
Have a good rest.
I and Xiaojiu will look up you another day.
Your Highness,
what nonsense does Imperial Physician Hu talk?
We might call him Imperial Physician Nonsense as well.
What the imperial physician says is true.
The pulse manifestation of mine is strange,
which Mr. Nie also said earlier.
He also said I'm born like this, so there's no need to worry.
That explains the matter.
Then I'll feel more relieved.
Have you noticed
how His Majesty looked at Madam Jiu?
I haven't noticed that,
because I was scared of
what that Imperial Physician Nonsense was saying.
In short,
no one can be compared with Madam Jiu
in the heart of His Majesty.
So it's impossible
to get Lingbi Stone
by winning the affection of His Majesty.
You don't have to give up so soon, Your Highness.
Maybe there's other favorable turn.
Your Majesty, here we are.
Come on.
Qingti,
wait for us here.
Yes. Your Majesty.
I haven't imagined there is a ground palace
under the Emperor's Tomb.
The construction of the Emperor's Tomb
is merely a cover.
What truly matters is the building of mechanisms in the ground palace.
Each tunnel has its own mechanism.
On the right corner of wall
is the control switch of a mechanism.
You have to keep it in mind
to protect yourself from being hurt.
These mechanisms are extremely simple.
I can remember it with a glance.
So smart of you!
It's comfortable,
Your Majesty.
I'm so sorry to be impolite in front of Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Bai Fengjiu,
control yourself.
If you hinder His Majesty from experiencing the romance misfortune,
you won't be able to make it up no matter how hard you try.
It's strange.
Why is the smell of the stone
so similar to that of the soul-locking jade?
Hadn't the soul-locking jade been broken
when we broke through the Ten-evil Lotus Land?
Xiaojiu,
this is the national treasure,
Lingbi Stone.
It's Lingbi Stone.
When the State of Chengyu was originally founded,
deceased grandfather led the troops to resist the foreign enemies.
When he was driven to the last ditch,
the stone fell down from the sky and saved deceased grandfather.
After deceased grandfather repulsed the enemy troops,
he named the stone Lingbi Stone
and regarded it as the national treasure.
Falling down from the sky?
Isn't it the soul-locking jade belonging to His Majesty?
What a magical Lingbi Stone!
To prevent others from coveting the stone,
only the emperors of his generation
can know where it's located.
You're the only who gets to see the treasure
except for emperors.
Thank Your Majesty for trusting me, which I'll remember forever.
See.
Is Lingbi Stone giving out light when it's touched?
Not exactly.
It didn't give out light when my father touched it.
And my father said it hadn't given out light either
when deceased grandfather touched it.
But it did give out light
when I touched it for the first time.
Father said it was destiny.
It's God who allows me to protect Lingbi Stone.
Maybe it's because the soul-locking jade
originally belongs to you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is the one chosen by God,
who definitely can burden the responsibility for defending the stone.
Xiaojiu,
have a try.
I dare not.
Only Your Majesty can touch it.
How dare I?
Certainly you can, since I allow you.
Have a try.
It's unbelievable.
Why can I make it flash?
It's doomed.
It can't be wiser than I take you here.
You're the one who is sent by God
to assist me in defending Lingbi Stone.
How am I qualified to
assist Your Majesty in defending Lingbi Stone together?
Is it because of what happened in the Ten-evil Lotus Land?
So it can recognize me as well.
Then it should be able to recognize Ji Heng.
In fact, why I take you here
is not only to let you see Lingbi Stone
but also ask you to
help repair the mechanisms in the secret chamber.
Mechanisms?
Since the last harsh battle,
I always have an idea in mind.
I intend to not only repair the decadent and quondam mechanisms,
but also build a new set of
stronger ones.
The most important link of the new set is
to make the whole ground palace collapse, once it is triggered,
which can ensure the safety of Lingbi Stone.
It makes sense.
But I always have a variety of problems
and difficulties.
When you present me the design of short knife,
I especially consulted it for reference.
And I've made a major breakthrough.
But
I still have something difficult to figure out.
So what I can do is ask a favor of you.
I'll definitely do my utmost,
since Your Majesty trust me so much.
= Muning Hall =
Imperial Concubine Wan is coming.
Your Highness, His Majesty is not in the study now.
Where on earth is His Majesty going?
His Majesty goes wherever he wants to.
We don't dare to
ask at all.
Ling Xiang,
don't you know the manners?
I'm sorry.
Give the tureen to Eunuch Yang.
Eunuch Yang, thanks for the trouble.
If His Majesty is hungry when he comes back,
please heat the soup
and send it to His Majesty.
But if His Majesty doesn't come here,
or he doesn't want to have the soup,
then deal with it whatever you want.
As you wish, Your Highness.
I'm going back to my palace.
Ling Xiang,
it has been a while since you come to the imperial palace,
but why are you still so careless?
Those who serve His Majesty around
aren't easy to deal with, are they?
Especially Eunuch Yang,
his background is more complicated.
You have to be careful when you meet him later.
Your Highness, I was anxious
because I found His Majesty wasn't there
and Madam Jiu wasn't, either.
It's no surprising that
both His Majesty
and Madam Jiu aren't there.
Maybe they go traveling incognito,
or make a sightseeing tour.
What we have to do is to calm down.
Wait for our opportunity.
I think we have to make some adjustments here,
don't we?
Your Majesty,
we should modify this place.
All right.
Your Majesty,
the wood should be whittled into a cone.
No problem.
How gorgeous!
What's gorgeous?
It's you.
You Majesty,
what's up?
Let me have a look.
I'm fine.
Just a small cut.
Is it called fine? You're bleeding.
I've told you to be careful, haven't I?
Is it
cotton rose ointment?
Yes, it is.
Luckily, I take some with me.
You're the first one who treats me this way.
It was urgent just now,
so I lost manners in front of Your Majesty.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
I adore what you looked like just now so much.
I've never seen my mother,
but everyone says she's
the smartest and tenderest woman in the world.
Besides,
father and mother truly loved each other.
It's a pity that I've never witnessed
the way they're together.
But I guess
how mother treated father
must be like the way you treated me just now.
With both anger and worry.
You don't treat me as an emperor
but your closest husband.
Am I right?
Song Xuanren is just His Majesty's incarnation in the mortal realm.
He's not His Majesty,
nor his rebirth.
He is just Song Xuanren.
And you are still Bai Fengjiu.
Your Majesty,
I suddenly come up with something.
There are still some points I can't figure out on the design drawing.
It doesn't matter.
Take it easy.
We have enough time.
Your Majesty reads memorials to the throne late in the night every day.
It's too hard.
You shall take good care of yourself.
As for these memorials to the throne,
if I don't read them for two days,
they will pile up.
If I don't read them,
will you do it for me?
Your Majesty is making fun of me.
How can I be qualified for the important job?
The moon looks beautiful tonight.
Yes.
It's rare to see such full moon,
and the sky is clear without a speck of cloud.
You send someone to notice Madam Jiu,
saying that I'm going to admire the moon in the Yue Hua Palace.
Yes.
What are you drawing?
Today His Majesty took me to the Emperor's Tomb.
And I saw the national treasure of their country, Lingbi Stone.
Why do you value so much
about a treasure in the mortal realm?
Because I think it looks like the soul-locking jade.
The soul-locking jade belongs to Emperor Dong Hua?
I do remember it has been broken
in the Ten-evil Lotus Land.
Maybe it just looks like.
Emperor Dong Hua is prestigious.
There are countless persons
who follow and imitate him during thousands of years.
It's no wonder
that several soul-locking jades are forged.
You're right.
Let it go.
Si Ming said Zhou Mengxi was dead.
Now you're experiencing the romance misfortune.
Don't mention it.
It's bothering me so much.
What do you think
can be counted as love in vain?
Listen. Let me teach you a lesson.
Say it out.
The so-called love in vain means
to make him fall in love but fail to get it.
So
attract him first, and then alienate him.
Over and over.
It's done.
But just refusing and alienating him
will have made me go against my conscience.
Not to mention to attract him first, and then alienate him.
I can't do it at all.
Let me tell you.
If you alienate him all the time,
he will be downhearted and no longer show his love.
Then he will fail to experience the romance misfortune.
For men,
they always anxiously longing for
what they think they can obtain
but actually not.
But if I really do what you say,
it will be too miserable for His Majesty.
Miserable?
Bai Fengjiu,
have you forgotten how miserable
you were in the Tai Chen Palace that day?
Not to mention
that you're assisting him in experiencing the romance misfortune.
I get it.
You're promising to be taught.
Do you treat Lian Song this way?
Him?
I disdain to play some tricks on him.
You disdain to play tricks?
You're blushing.
You're the one who's blushing.
How can I blush? Look at yourself.
You really are blushing.
You, naughty girl!
You're the naughty one!
Your Highness.
It's Muyun.
I'm leaving first.
Come in.
Your Highness,
I heard there seemed to be someone else in the room.
I'm reading the play and delivering an aside.
That's it.
What's up?
Eunuch Yang has sent someone to leave the message,
saying His Majesty is coming to the Yue Hua Palace to admire the moon.
Then you go make preparation for it.
Everything is ready.
Your Highness is the one who gets to make some preparations.
What should I prepare?
Dress up.
Why do Your Majesty suddenly want to admire the moon today?
It's full moon today.
Besides, the Yue Hua Palace
is the best place for admiring the moon.
So I come here.
Well,
I named the palace, Yue Hua Palace.
Your Majesty really gave a good name to the palace.
Well, Your Majesty,
how is the wound on your hand?
Much better. The scab is growing.
Use more cotton rose ointment,
and the scab can be removed.
Then it's cured.
Is it?
Muyun.
Allow me to apply it for Your Majesty.
You're tricky.
You're gorgeous.
The moon really looks pretty tonight.
Moonlight is shining, making the waves glittering.
What a beautiful name Your Majesty gave to the palace!
Since we're delighted today,
what about me playing a song for you?
Great. I'm all ears.
Your Majesty.

Xiaojiu.
Your Majesty, you wake up.
Xiaojiu.
Have some tea to sober up.
Where is Madam Jiu?
Madam Jiu isn't here.
She is in the Yue Hua Palace.
Shouldn't I be in the Yue Hua Palace?
Your Majesty got drunk when admiring the moon and was comatose.
General Ye escorted you back.
Ye Qingti escorted me back?
Yes. Your Majesty.
Did Madam Jiu come with me?
No, she didn't.
Bow to Your Majesty.
Qingti,
did you escort me back the other day?
Yes.
Your Majesty got drunk and was comatose.
I happened to patrol to the Yue Hua Palace
and escorted Your Majesty back to your palace.
I didn't remember
anything about the drunk thing.
Did I talk some nonsense?
Your Majesty was comatose
and didn't say anything.
Eunuch Yang and other eunuchs were all on site.
I don't dare to lie to you.
Relax, Qingti.
I'm just asking
and I don't mean to blame you.
Why I call you here today
is mainly to let you have a taste of this.
Roast sweet potatoes?
Have a try.
Please.
How is it?
It...
it's just an ordinary roast sweet potato.
I can't taste something different.
Then how does it taste, compared with ones you've eaten before?
I don't eat roast sweet potatoes often.
I can't tell the difference.
Then how is it, compared with ones you've roasted yourself?
I've never roasted a sweet potato in person.
You haven't roasted it before?
That's it.
It's fine. It's fine.
Come here. Give it to me.
Never roasted.
Come here.
Why does Your Majesty ask me this?
I've been
fond of sweet potatoes recently.
And I've been studying how to make
it taste better.
I intend to discuss about the skill
of roasting a sweet potato with you.
What a pity!
I haven't mastered the skill.
I'm afraid to let Your Majesty down.
Qingti.
Qingti,
you don't let me down at all.
You don't.
Your Majesty.
You've been working outside all day long.
It's dusty.
His Majesty is coming.
Xiaojiu.
Bow to you, Your Majesty.
Rise.
Come here.
Your Majesty was drunk days before,
do you feel better now?
I'm fine.
Xiaojiu,
I know you're diligent in studying the blueprint of mechanisms,
so I make something to eat especially
to appreciate you.
Your Majesty.
See.
Sorrowless cake?
Is it made by Your Majesty yourself?
Certainly, it's made by me myself,
but it's not sorrowless cake.
Have a taste first.
It's delicious.
Is it?
It looks like sorrowless cake,
but tastes much sweeter.
I know you can taste the difference.
Actually, it's not made of sorrowless flower,
but another flower, is it?
Exactly not.
I specially choose lily to make it.
According to the secret recipe,
it's elaborately made
through three procedures.
I'll call it
lily cake.
Lily cake?
It's a good name.
Is it?
The name of sorrowless flower
means one can be carefree,
while lily
represents ones who worship each other
can have a harmonious union for a hundred years.
It's a common wish between the two.
Isn't the implied meaning of lily
much better than that of sorrowless flower?
How cute you are, Your Majesty!
Why you've tried so hard to make the lily cake
is to
outweigh the one I've mentioned before.
But what Your Majesty doesn't know is
that the one I've mentioned is you.
Have a little more.
If I keep eating,
I would become fat and ugly.
Do you want that?
You're so slender.
It might be better for you to add some weight.
It's impossible for you to become ugly.
You can't imagine
how gorgeous you look in my eyes.
Your Majesty has made so great dessert to make me happy,
and you're saying so many words to flatter me.
I don't even know how to respond.
You don't have to respond.
Just enjoy it.
What's your job on the mechanism blueprint?
I've well planned.
Then shall we go to the Emperor's Tomb today?
Well, how is Imperial Concubine Wan?
Has Your Majesty
visited her these days?
Imperial Concubine Wan.
She must have been recuperating.
We might not disturb her as well.
We shall accomplish the building of mechanisms in the Emperor's Tomb as soon as possible.
