~ Episode 8 ~ "Precious Smile" Has Precious Wan's stick been made? Just finished.
We can add it tonight.
The Emperor hasn't given the order.
Keep it for now.
This Precious Wan is highly favoured.
Her stick will be flipped often in future.
Not wasting everynight's candlelight, It's finally blossomed The Emporer visits often.
He brings the Dragon aura, of course the flowers are blossoming.
Greetings to Precious Wan.
Mistress, you're lucky, The Emperor grants you a bath in Soup Spring Palace.
And asked Jin Xi Gugu to serve.
Thank the majesty.
Jin Xi Gugu, please make everything ready Sedan chair will be waiting outside afternoon.
Yes, I'll make everything ready for young mistress.
Then, Servant will go.
There is still a lot to prepare for.
Where is Soup Spring Palace? Why use sedan chair? Soup Spring Palace is a Royal pavilion of Chang Ping ( a place in Beijing ) His Majesty must think that the Royal Palace is too crowded and thus wants to bring young mistress out My young mistress is physically weak, and hot spring is best for her.
Your Majesty, Has everything been prepared When is the Emporer leaving? At noon.
Su Pei Sheng just said the Emporer has invited Precious Wan to the hot springs.
Jian Qiu.
Tell the Emperor I am feeling unwell today.
I cannot travel with His Majesty after all.
Yes.
Your Highness Your Highness uses the Queen's spa Precious Wan will use the Concubines' spa.
She cannot disturb you.
The Emperor is in a good mood today.
I should let him be.
Your Highness is so virtuous.
If this were the Princess of Glory, who knows what she'll do out of jealousy.
Is Your Majesty trying to be Emperor Han.
I dare not be Zhao He De.
Such impudence You dare compare me with Emporer Han.
Your Majesty is sharp and wise.
Emperor Han is unable to compare.
Even though it is blatant flattery.
I like hearing it.
But you live in the Inner Palace how would you know if I'm wise in Court.
Don't discuss matters of politics.
I don't know what happens in the Courts.
Except one thing.
Your majesty posess beauties more beautiful than Fei Yan, He De.
and more virtuous than Ban Jie Yu Emperor Han is less fortunate than Your Majesty.
My Precious Wan posseses a ready tongue.
You are above Fei Yan's empty beauty.
I am indeed more fortunate than Emporer Han.
Scared? I'm not scared.
No? You are not looking at me.
Girls are always scared during their first time.
I am not scared.
To Your Majesty I am just a normal girl.
But I see Your Majesty as my husband.
Tonight is my wedding night.
So I am nervous.
It's alright.
The servants by your side shoud have already taught you.
I am fearful.
The servants taught me how to serve the Emperor.
But they never taught me how to serve my husband.
I am too bold.
Please forgive me.
Usually the girls are terrified when they serve.
They are too cautious; even the Queen is no exception.
No one has ever said anything like this to me.
Since you treat me as your husband Don't be so so cautious in front of your husband.
Your Highness' back has been giving you pains.
You should rest after eating the medicine.
The Emperor is finally with her.
Being with her now means nothing.
Jumping to the rank of "Precious", visiting her every other day, even taking her to the hot springs.
He only took her.
He's treating her like Concubine Yang.
That Concubine Yang met a untimely end.
The Emperor is temporarily smitten.
Yu was also high in his favour.
Now she doesn't exist to him.
Hopefully it is like that.
But who can guess His Majesty's heart.
What are you doing? I've woken you up.
That candle is flickering.
The candle is giving light, I am happy.
Is there a story.
I've heard that one tradition of marriage is to light a pair of candles on the wedding night and keep it bright til morning.
That way the new couple will be together forever.
But usually a Pheonix Candle is used.
This plain candle can be used in its place I guess.
I am over 40.
To ask you to grow old with me, means I'll have to live to over 100.
The Emperor lives ten thousand years.
If you only live til 100 because of me, you'd be getting the short stick.
You know how to comfort me.
Your Majety is making fun of me.
Since I believe in the candle tradition.
I think you are cute and naive.
In my life I've only lit a Pheonix Candle once.
Not twice? The Queen succeeded the First Wife position.
There was no need to re-enact a new wedding night.
Do you wish to grow old with me? All girls under heaven would want to grow old with their husband.
I am also this ordinary.
But I am scared.
Scared this is just wishful thinking.
You know that your ordinary wish is hard to come by for me.
I value your wish; I will not dissapoint you.
Don't cry.
Is there ink here What do you need ink for.
I want to record it.
Your Majesty cannot go back on his word when it is in writing So childish.
I am Son of Heaven, I do not go back on my word.
Don't worry.
Rest early Your Majesty.
You need to get up early tomorrow.
How can I rest with you here? Respects to young mistress Meimei Respects to Precious Shen Jiejie came this early? I originally wanted to pay my respects to the Empress but she wasn't feeling well, so there's no need.
So I came to see you Look at youyour undereye circles have darkened Didn't sleep well last night? It's not that.
Last night I was chatting with Pin of Respects.
It got late Zhen jiejie has gone to the pavilion with his majesty.
She might have served his majesty last night.
Yes, I wonder how's she doing.
To be sent back out of the Hall of Resting Soul I was probably the first.
Don't think about the past too much It will be better next time Next time? How am I as fortunate as my two sisters? When Zhen Jiejie returns, I will congratulate her I pay my respects to the Empress Jian Qiu, quickly help Precious Wan up Yes, Niang Niang Thanks Empress Young mistress please get up Please sit You just recovered and returned to the palace It's too hard for you to give a salute.
It's too hard for you to give a salute.
But the ancient rules dictate that you have to came the day after serving his Majesty so we have to follow it I should have come early and give the salute.
But I was in pavilion, so I come late.
It's my fault.
It's important to obey the rules But it is more important to search for a Win-Win Solution You were in pavilion, accompany his Majesty, I'll be happy if his Majesty is happy.
These salutes are just formalities It's kind of you, my Empress It's a fortune to the six palaces that you're safe and sound.
No wonder his Majesty likes you Your speech and actions are indeed endearing Actually Meimei, with your beauty and talent, you should have been favored long ago.
But until recently but not bad.
Although through a lot the moon finally come out from behind the clouds.
Meimei, in the future come and go often and treat this place like your own home.
No need to feel uneasy.
Yes I really like the fruity fragrance in Niang Niang's palace It smells especially comforting Yes, I don't like to burn incense I also find cosmetic fragrances too common, so I ask them to put fresh fruits in the hall everyday.
Turned out to be good.
Niang Niang's unique way I learned a lot.
Ever since Precious Smile has been sick, Niang Niang wanted to visit you many times.
but young mistress were having seasonal epidemics afraid of infection didn't come.
But in Niang Niang's heart, she often has concern for young mistress.
I'm appreciate Niang Niang's concern.
The choosing last year was meant to pick conscientious girls to serve the Emperor Now, you just need to keep healthy.
only in this way, can you please the empire and rise offsprings.
I'll keep Niang Niang's words in heart I'm so agreeable with you, that I can't help concerning about you.
It is too late now, Jian Qiu, send Precious Wan out.
This is good Young mistress Xiao Yunzi? At this time why are you not in the palace? Why did you come here? First servant wants to congratulate young mistress You're little monky, come for sweet thing specifically.
We won't forget you Gugu misunderstands me I came here by imperial decree Young mistress, for now please don't come back to the palace Why? Young mistress don't ask now Please take a leisurely stroll through the royal garden Very soon you will be able to return to the palace Alright Pin of Beauty Niang Niang, servant's stomach is not feeling well Go Although Kang Luhai now works for Jiejie, he hasn't fixed his bad habit of sneaking around at all.
Seeing as he once served Princess of Modesty, I feel he is at least discreet.
Otherwise I wouldn't use him at all Jiejie has such a good temperament Abandoning a former master if it were me, I would absolutely not dare to do it.
This royal garden is so pretty Yes Yes, the flowers in this royal garden are different from those anywhere else.
Servant greets Precious Smile.
Fortune and respects to Precious.
It's Kang Luhai Kang Luhai? Young mistress still remembers servant? Good morning Kang Gong Gong You're not with Pin of Beauty? Pin of Beauty and Precious Cao went to pay their respects to the Empress.
Servant knew young mistress would pass through the royal garden on your way home so I respectfully waited for you here.
Do you have some words from your Niang Niang? No, it's not Niang Niang It's just that servant has something selfish to request of young mistress Speak Servant heard that young mistress was promoted to Precious, and wholeheartedly wanted to pay my respects and regards to young mistress.
But I couldn't, I had too many errands His Majesty also ordered a decree to not disturb young mistress's rest.
Servant longed for the stars and the moon, so much that my neck is stretched out.
Until I pay my respects to young mistress, I won't have peace of mind I like people who are direct If you don't find servant too stupid, with just one word from you, I am willing to serve young mistress without any hesitation.
Your intentions are good but does Pin of Beauty know? This You are now her servant If she knew of your thoughts, I'm afraid she won't be too happy.
Besides, I am merely a Precious How could I be at liberty to ask Pin of Beauty for her servant? Don't worry, you are in favour Just one word from you, who would dare go against you? Just one word from you is enough Great! So you pretended to have a stomachache and snuck out here just so you could meet up with your former master! Respect to Pin of Beauty NiangNiang.
Respect to Precious Cao You and I are the same Meimei need not be so polite You're also aware that you have the same status? But she doesn't know her own status Right, I heard that lately his Majesty assigned quite a few servants to Precious Smile's palace.
Precious Smile doesn't already have enough servants to order around? To actually consider this useless servant of mine? Not like that Jiejie is so kind to have received Kang Luhai Since he is already Jiejie's servant, how could I ask for him back on my own will? Although I'm young and inexperienced, I would absolutely not make such a mistake.
Precious Smile does know the rules No wonder his Majesty favors you so much I can only stay behind in the dust His Majesty only pities me because I was gravely ill recently.
In his heart, of course he cares about Jieijie 100 times more than me.
Confused servant! Upsetting Niang Niang first thing in the morning! Slap yourself! Servant deserves to die! Jiejie Why upset yourself over a servant? What if you damage your health? Servant deserves to die! This servant is bent on climbing the higher trees, too greedy.
we all say eunuchs are stupid ass without cock they do not have one bit of dignity These servants nowadays disregard me more and more.
They chase after those who are powerful, Why doesn't he think of how he begged me back then to dig him out of his live grave! even learned to be a spy Li jiejie, I know you're angry, Not worth wasting your words on a servant.
Disciplining a servant I have ridiculed myself before Precious Smile Since he's your servant, Jiejie can punish him as you like.
to hit or kill, that is up to you But there are many poeple in the garden it may cause gossips If you're so angry with him you can take him back and then punish.
Alright, I have to give the Empress my regards Today, I show you some mercy.
Thanks! Li Pin Niangniang.
Thank you saved my life.
Thank you my young mistress.
You're clever, If you didn't say in that way, Li Pin Niangniang couldn't have forgive me Li Pin may not forgive you save your life on your own.
Li Pin and others dislike you you, you, Shame on him, flunkyism.
Even those maids around Li Pin can dress Kang Lu Hai down.
He's having a hard time.
Servants should be loyal to thier boss.
Flip-floppers will not be used by others.
Kang deserves it.
But Li Pin's words were too tart and mean.
I was aggrieved for you when hearing that.
But I like her personality.
Congratulations, young mistress.
The room is made into Pepper room, It is a great honor.
Congratulations, young mistress.
Young mistress, look our palace, so pretty.
Sweet! What's this smell? It's wall! Young mistress, the wall gives out the smell! It's his Majesty's command this morning.
We servants made it in a short time.
Hoping young mistress is pleased.
The pepper room is only used for newly-married.
Using pepper flower mixed with mud, stands for warm and many seeds (children).
Except for the Empress, no other princess can have this rare honor.
Only Princess of Glory! Congratulations young mistress! Young mistress, please go inside Young mistress, please look carefully at the bed Is this a routine for those who are favored? Thank you for your arrange, Seneschal.
Yes,but except the good intention underneath.
His Majesty actually took my words to heart like this His Majesty heard this was a marriage custom among the among the people and specially instructed us servants to do the same.
His Majesty also said if it wasn't for the hurry in the pavilions, the present should have prepared already.
It's not the time matters, it's his Majesty's intention.
Alright alright, young mistress is tired from yesterday Let's take our leave Liuzhu, Huanbi can stay behind to serve young mistress in her rest.
Yes This is great, young mistress! Now old master and madam can put their minds at ease! Under the current circumstances, his Majesty must really care about young mistress.
After suffering for more than half a year, we can rest assured.
You are right but the days ahead are still long.
The days ahead are long but our young mistress's fortune is even longer.
Everyone else is carried out to serve his Majesty but you are different.
His Majesty personally accompanies you there Jiejie, you're laughing at me I'm not laughing at you.
I'm happy that he favors you.
But the other Pins might not be happy There is open strife and secret struggles in the palace.
One rises as another falls.
When has it ever stopped? With Pin of Beauty's temper she can't hide any of her thoughts.
She is more bark than bite, I'm not afraid You're right.
Pin of Beauty is not a problem but everyone knows that Princess of Glory stands behind her.
Now that you're honored with the pepper room, you are following in her exact footsteps.
Jiejie, that his Majesty would treat me this way I didn't expect either.
These things came too quickly and too greatly Greater than my wildest expectations Jiejie, tell me.
Is it real? Of course it's real Even I'm a bit envious His Majesty's love is real Pin of Beaulty's objections is real, too.
In the future, jealousy and hatred in the inner palace will also be real Jiejie, tell me, what should I do? Endure Endure? Princess of Glory dominates Even the Empress can't touch her much less those of our status.
You and I are newly favored.
When it come to the extraction and his Majesty's favor.
we are not equal in force.
Instead of acting up against greater forces, we should just wait calmly So, you have to endure You are right.
But, Jiejie, will you be angry? We came into the palace together, I knew this would happen.
Although his Majesty hasn't asked me serve for several days.
I still have the chance to lift my head in front of others since you are favored.
We have been good friends for many years.
I envy you, but not angry.
Jiejie, will you be jealous? A little But there are many Princess who were favored in the palace Princess of Glory, then you and there will be others If I am jealous of each one I would rather die.
the moon is full wonder if mom and dad are well at home mistress is homesick? being here by myself, how can I not? mistress is not alone Precious Wan, Precious Shen and you are like sisters mistress should visit more right now Wan mistress is being favoured You may meet his Majesty there.
Jiejie is favored now, If I always visit her I will annoy them why would that be? mistress is thinking too much Precious Wan always shares her good fortune with mistress Like this morning; she event sent two bolts of silk over Jiejie was just being nice No matter how strong the friendship is you will break it if you are careless.
For example Mei jiejie and Zhen jiejie are close friends.
but the day Zhen jiejie was favored Mei jiejie couldn't go to sleep that night Mistress, Shui Gong Gong of Rites has arrived Greetings, Precious Wan Why did gong gong come here himself? His Majesty decreed to have servant personally come here to tell mistress that you will be spending the night with the Emperor Thank you, Gong Gong Your servant will take his leave Mistress only came back the other day But the Emperor wants to see you already The Emperor really can't let you go Don't talk rubbish This way, please.
His Majesty is still busy with court petitions he will be here soon Mistress please make yourself at home Don't I need to go cleanse myself and change? His Majesty wants you to wait here Mistress should just wait Thank you, Gu Gu Your Majesty Hungry? I have prepared some snacks for you Why did the kitchen only prepare one bowl? Your Majesty should eat first I already ate in my study Try it and see if it is to your liking Thank you, Your Majesty It's raw! (have the meaning of "birth") You said it yourself When my Precious Wan is angry, she is both cute and pitiful Your Majesty is mocking me All right I did not intend to mock you This bowl of wanton was already eaten by you I heard that commoner brides must eat wanton But the palace has rules and I can't do it exactly the same But if it can be done, I will definitely do it for you Your Majesty treats me so well When I first saw you in the Royal Garden you stood alone in the shadows of apricot flowers That peaceful and distant expression was as though the chaos of the back palace had nothing to do with you you stand aloof from the world I am not as good as you just said There are many others both beaultiful and talented in the palaces I am no match for them Why compare yourself with them? Zhen Huan is Zhen Huan You are the best in your way She just became the Precious in a few days and could publicly poach my servants What will she be like in future? It's because you don't discipline your servants well but when can you change your short temper? You should learn from Precious Cao I can't let let any sand leave in my eyes His Majesty favours her so she will forget her place As she forgets her place, His Majesty will stop liking her Yu is an example Precious Wan is timid; she is afraid of you, and gives in to you She didn't forget herself, but you lost your temper Forgot your propriety She is merely a new favourite Newly favoured? His Majesty gave her a pepper room apparently following you His Majesty often went to the palaces this month nine out of ten were Precious Wan accompanying him If you don't talk, then will you become a mute? (Stop talking) Niangniang, have you seen good dogs The dog that can bite don't bark Earlier than yesterday I was always wondering when the night would come.
I played chess with majesty this afternoon and went back at dinner time One-day's apart, feels like many years one-meal's time I felt like have spent a year Precious Wan, served the night before last.
and then last night This afternoon, she played chess with his Majesty and now, she is still in Hall of a resting soul Doxy Always hanging around the emperor Because his majesty likes it that way Anyone else would be unable to even if she wanted to As arrogant as Yushi was, she's better than her.
Pavilion records Slut! Slut! You will die a horrible death! Slut! You will die a horrible death! Slut! Die a horrible death! I pay my respects to the Empress I came late.
Niang Niang please forgive me.
Not late.
You're young, it's understandable to oversleep.
Many thanks Niang Niang for empathizing Ipay my respects to all the sisters Rise Thanks Empress You've worked hard serving the Emperor the past couple days It wasn't convenient for me to send things to you The Lama Masters of Tibetan Buddhism contributed a few consecrated blissful quilt with word "wan" to us.
I left one for you If you use it to sleep in, you may have a prince soon.
Many thanks Empress But of course If you have a prince soon, you can catch up to Princess of Regularity.
Princess of Regularity has good fortune Make sure not to have bad fortune like 4th Prince's mother.
Not even a glance at 4th Prince Why are you bringing up 4th Prince again? Are you at liberty to comment on the princes? Fine if you choose to talk about this at the Palace of Benevolent Hope But if His Majesty hears of this, he will be angry.
Pin of Beauty, 4th prince's birth mother does not have good fortune then why bother mentioning her? Enough, you have all paid your respects.
Everyone leave now.
I have to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager now We respectfully send the Empress out Why did you have to mention 4th Prince? Upset now? Being upset only hurts oneself What are you afraid of? Who is 4th Prince? Who is his birth mother? Someone so kind like the Empress why did she get upset when he was mentioned? I'm not sure either I've only heard others vaguely mention it 4th Prince's birth mother was lowly and ugly The Emperor dislikes her extremely and as a result, also dislikes 4th Prince.
So they've been kept in Yuan Ming Garden Pavilion and are not allowed to enter the palace.
If 4th Prince's birth mother is lowly and ugly, why did His Majesty take interest in her? Lower your voice His Majesty was supposedly still a Duke at the time It was a drunken mistake For this incident, he was also harshly reprimanded by the late emperor.
At that time, nine princes strove for the throne, No wonder His Majesty takes his anger out on 4th Prince This is a hugely forbidden subject in the palace Just pretend you don't know Thanks Jiejie for warning me Greetings Princess of Glory.
Greetings Pin of Beauty.
Get up Thanks Niang Niang Precious Wan has always paid respects to the Empress early in the morning.
Why were you late today? It's uncommon.
Sisters are diligent.
I was lazy.
I dare not say you are lazy You must be tired from serving His Majesty unlike us, idle with so much free time.
Pin of Beaulty has served his majesty for a long time must know a saying-- do not say things which are not conform to the rites I am still young, I hope for more advice from Niang Niang I haven't been in the palace for long.
I have little experience.
If I have misspoken, I hope that Niang Niang won't take offense.
Lately Precious Wan has been busy serving His Majesty Precious Shen must be free Do you have time to copy the female Analects of Confucius for me? It will also remind people in the harem to scrupulously abide by the model female, to speak and act cautiously.
Niang Niang's orders, how could I not comply with? But, when would Niang Niang like it by? Not a hurry, take your time copying When I want it, I will send someone to get it Precious Shen seems thinner Is it because His Majesty hasn't called for you lately? Niang Niang jokes with me But, it's because of the hot and muggy weather.
I don't have an appetite.
I see I thought it was Precious Wan's being favored makes you sick I dare not Precious Wan is smart and pretty.
Being chosen to attend to His Majesty is common sense.
Never mind if you are anyone else Precious Wan and Precious Shen are close sisters how can you forget to share with your sister when you are specially favored Thank you for watching! brPlease join us! Presented by the Legend of Zhen Huan Team @ Viki
We can add it tonight.
The Emperor hasn't given the order.
Keep it for now.

This is good Young mistress Xiao Yunzi? At this time why are you not in the palace? Why did you come here? First servant wants to congratulate young mistress You're little monky, come for sweet thing specifically.
We won't forget you Gugu misunderstands me I came here by imperial decree Young mistress, for now please don't come back to the palace Why? Young mistress don't ask now Please take a leisurely stroll through the royal garden Very soon you will be able to return to the palace Alright Pin of Beauty Niang Niang, servant's stomach is not feeling well Go Although Kang Luhai now works for Jiejie, he hasn't fixed his bad habit of sneaking around at all.
Seeing as he once served Princess of Modesty, I feel he is at least discreet.
Otherwise I wouldn't use him at all Jiejie has such a good temperament Abandoning a former master if it were me, I would absolutely not dare to do it.
This royal garden is so pretty Yes Yes, the flowers in this royal garden are different from those anywhere else.
Servant greets Precious Smile.
Fortune and respects to Precious.
It's Kang Luhai Kang Luhai? Young mistress still remembers servant? Good morning Kang Gong Gong You're not with Pin of Beauty? Pin of Beauty and Precious Cao went to pay their respects to the Empress.
Servant knew young mistress would pass through the royal garden on your way home so I respectfully waited for you here.
Do you have some words from your Niang Niang? No, it's not Niang Niang It's just that servant has something selfish to request of young mistress Speak Servant heard that young mistress was promoted to Precious, and wholeheartedly wanted to pay my respects and regards to young mistress.
But I couldn't, I had too many errands His Majesty also ordered a decree to not disturb young mistress's rest.
Servant longed for the stars and the moon, so much that my neck is stretched out.
Until I pay my respects to young mistress, I won't have peace of mind I like people who are direct If you don't find servant too stupid, with just one word from you, I am willing to serve young mistress without any hesitation.
Your intentions are good but does Pin of Beauty know? This You are now her servant If she knew of your thoughts, I'm afraid she won't be too happy.
Besides, I am merely a Precious How could I be at liberty to ask Pin of Beauty for her servant? Don't worry, you are in favour Just one word from you, who would dare go against you? Just one word from you is enough Great! So you pretended to have a stomachache and snuck out here just so you could meet up with your former master! Respect to Pin of Beauty NiangNiang.
Respect to Precious Cao You and I are the same Meimei need not be so polite You're also aware that you have the same status? But she doesn't know her own status Right, I heard that lately his Majesty assigned quite a few servants to Precious Smile's palace.
Precious Smile doesn't already have enough servants to order around? To actually consider this useless servant of mine? Not like that Jiejie is so kind to have received Kang Luhai Since he is already Jiejie's servant, how could I ask for him back on my own will? Although I'm young and inexperienced, I would absolutely not make such a mistake.
Precious Smile does know the rules No wonder his Majesty favors you so much I can only stay behind in the dust His Majesty only pities me because I was gravely ill recently.
In his heart, of course he cares about Jieijie 100 times more than me.
Confused servant! Upsetting Niang Niang first thing in the morning! Slap yourself! Servant deserves to die! Jiejie Why upset yourself over a servant? What if you damage your health? Servant deserves to die! This servant is bent on climbing the higher trees, too greedy.
we all say eunuchs are stupid ass without cock they do not have one bit of dignity These servants nowadays disregard me more and more.
They chase after those who are powerful, Why doesn't he think of how he begged me back then to dig him out of his live grave! even learned to be a spy Li jiejie, I know you're angry, Not worth wasting your words on a servant.
Disciplining a servant I have ridiculed myself before Precious Smile Since he's your servant, Jiejie can punish him as you like.
to hit or kill, that is up to you But there are many poeple in the garden it may cause gossips If you're so angry with him you can take him back and then punish.
Alright, I have to give the Empress my regards Today, I show you some mercy.
Thanks! Li Pin Niangniang.
Thank you saved my life.
Thank you my young mistress.
You're clever, If you didn't say in that way, Li Pin Niangniang couldn't have forgive me Li Pin may not forgive you save your life on your own.
Li Pin and others dislike you you, you, Shame on him, flunkyism.
Even those maids around Li Pin can dress Kang Lu Hai down.
He's having a hard time.
Servants should be loyal to thier boss.
Flip-floppers will not be used by others.
Kang deserves it.
But Li Pin's words were too tart and mean.
I was aggrieved for you when hearing that.
But I like her personality.
Congratulations, young mistress.
The room is made into Pepper room, It is a great honor.
Congratulations, young mistress.
Young mistress, look our palace, so pretty.
Sweet! What's this smell? It's wall! Young mistress, the wall gives out the smell! It's his Majesty's command this morning.
We servants made it in a short time.
Hoping young mistress is pleased.
The pepper room is only used for newly-married.
Using pepper flower mixed with mud, stands for warm and many seeds (children).
Except for the Empress, no other princess can have this rare honor.
Only Princess of Glory! Congratulations young mistress! Young mistress, please go inside Young mistress, please look carefully at the bed Is this a routine for those who are favored? Thank you for your arrange, Seneschal.
Yes,but except the good intention underneath.
His Majesty actually took my words to heart like this His Majesty heard this was a marriage custom among the among the people and specially instructed us servants to do the same.
His Majesty also said if it wasn't for the hurry in the pavilions, the present should have prepared already.
It's not the time matters, it's his Majesty's intention.
Alright alright, young mistress is tired from yesterday Let's take our leave Liuzhu, Huanbi can stay behind to serve young mistress in her rest.
Yes This is great, young mistress! Now old master and madam can put their minds at ease! Under the current circumstances, his Majesty must really care about young mistress.
After suffering for more than half a year, we can rest assured.
You are right but the days ahead are still long.
The days ahead are long but our young mistress's fortune is even longer.
Everyone else is carried out to serve his Majesty but you are different.
His Majesty personally accompanies you there Jiejie, you're laughing at me I'm not laughing at you.
I'm happy that he favors you.
But the other Pins might not be happy There is open strife and secret struggles in the palace.
One rises as another falls.
When has it ever stopped? With Pin of Beauty's temper she can't hide any of her thoughts.
She is more bark than bite, I'm not afraid You're right.
Pin of Beauty is not a problem but everyone knows that Princess of Glory stands behind her.
Now that you're honored with the pepper room, you are following in her exact footsteps.
Jiejie, that his Majesty would treat me this way I didn't expect either.
These things came too quickly and too greatly Greater than my wildest expectations Jiejie, tell me.
Is it real? Of course it's real Even I'm a bit envious His Majesty's love is real Pin of Beaulty's objections is real, too.
In the future, jealousy and hatred in the inner palace will also be real Jiejie, tell me, what should I do? Endure Endure? Princess of Glory dominates Even the Empress can't touch her much less those of our status.
You and I are newly favored.
When it come to the extraction and his Majesty's favor.
we are not equal in force.
Instead of acting up against greater forces, we should just wait calmly So, you have to endure You are right.
But, Jiejie, will you be angry? We came into the palace together, I knew this would happen.
Although his Majesty hasn't asked me serve for several days.
I still have the chance to lift my head in front of others since you are favored.
We have been good friends for many years.
I envy you, but not angry.
Jiejie, will you be jealous? A little But there are many Princess who were favored in the palace Princess of Glory, then you and there will be others If I am jealous of each one I would rather die.
the moon is full wonder if mom and dad are well at home mistress is homesick? being here by myself, how can I not? mistress is not alone Precious Wan, Precious Shen and you are like sisters mistress should visit more right now Wan mistress is being favoured You may meet his Majesty there.
Jiejie is favored now, If I always visit her I will annoy them why would that be? mistress is thinking too much Precious Wan always shares her good fortune with mistress Like this morning; she event sent two bolts of silk over Jiejie was just being nice No matter how strong the friendship is you will break it if you are careless.
For example Mei jiejie and Zhen jiejie are close friends.
but the day Zhen jiejie was favored Mei jiejie couldn't go to sleep that night Mistress, Shui Gong Gong of Rites has arrived Greetings, Precious Wan Why did gong gong come here himself? His Majesty decreed to have servant personally come here to tell mistress that you will be spending the night with the Emperor Thank you, Gong Gong Your servant will take his leave Mistress only came back the other day But the Emperor wants to see you already The Emperor really can't let you go Don't talk rubbish This way, please.
His Majesty is still busy with court petitions he will be here soon Mistress please make yourself at home Don't I need to go cleanse myself and change? His Majesty wants you to wait here Mistress should just wait Thank you, Gu Gu Your Majesty Hungry? I have prepared some snacks for you Why did the kitchen only prepare one bowl? Your Majesty should eat first I already ate in my study Try it and see if it is to your liking Thank you, Your Majesty It's raw! (have the meaning of "birth") You said it yourself When my Precious Wan is angry, she is both cute and pitiful Your Majesty is mocking me All right I did not intend to mock you This bowl of wanton was already eaten by you I heard that commoner brides must eat wanton But the palace has rules and I can't do it exactly the same But if it can be done, I will definitely do it for you Your Majesty treats me so well When I first saw you in the Royal Garden you stood alone in the shadows of apricot flowers That peaceful and distant expression was as though the chaos of the back palace had nothing to do with you you stand aloof from the world I am not as good as you just said There are many others both beaultiful and talented in the palaces I am no match for them Why compare yourself with them? Zhen Huan is Zhen Huan You are the best in your way She just became the Precious in a few days and could publicly poach my servants What will she be like in future? It's because you don't discipline your servants well but when can you change your short temper? You should learn from Precious Cao I can't let let any sand leave in my eyes His Majesty favours her so she will forget her place As she forgets her place, His Majesty will stop liking her Yu is an example Precious Wan is timid; she is afraid of you, and gives in to you She didn't forget herself, but you lost your temper Forgot your propriety She is merely a new favourite Newly favoured? His Majesty gave her a pepper room apparently following you His Majesty often went to the palaces this month nine out of ten were Precious Wan accompanying him If you don't talk, then will you become a mute? (Stop talking) Niangniang, have you seen good dogs The dog that can bite don't bark Earlier than yesterday I was always wondering when the night would come.
I played chess with majesty this afternoon and went back at dinner time One-day's apart, feels like many years one-meal's time I felt like have spent a year Precious Wan, served the night before last.
and then last night This afternoon, she played chess with his Majesty and now, she is still in Hall of a resting soul Doxy Always hanging around the emperor Because his majesty likes it that way Anyone else would be unable to even if she wanted to As arrogant as Yushi was, she's better than her.
Pavilion records Slut! Slut! You will die a horrible death! Slut! You will die a horrible death! Slut! Die a horrible death! I pay my respects to the Empress I came late.
Niang Niang please forgive me.
Not late.
You're young, it's understandable to oversleep.
Many thanks Niang Niang for empathizing Ipay my respects to all the sisters Rise Thanks Empress You've worked hard serving the Emperor the past couple days It wasn't convenient for me to send things to you The Lama Masters of Tibetan Buddhism contributed a few consecrated blissful quilt with word "wan" to us.
I left one for you If you use it to sleep in, you may have a prince soon.
Many thanks Empress But of course If you have a prince soon, you can catch up to Princess of Regularity.
Princess of Regularity has good fortune Make sure not to have bad fortune like 4th Prince's mother.
Not even a glance at 4th Prince Why are you bringing up 4th Prince again? Are you at liberty to comment on the princes? Fine if you choose to talk about this at the Palace of Benevolent Hope But if His Majesty hears of this, he will be angry.
Pin of Beauty, 4th prince's birth mother does not have good fortune then why bother mentioning her? Enough, you have all paid your respects.
Everyone leave now.
I have to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager now We respectfully send the Empress out Why did you have to mention 4th Prince? Upset now? Being upset only hurts oneself What are you afraid of? Who is 4th Prince? Who is his birth mother? Someone so kind like the Empress why did she get upset when he was mentioned? I'm not sure either I've only heard others vaguely mention it 4th Prince's birth mother was lowly and ugly The Emperor dislikes her extremely and as a result, also dislikes 4th Prince.
So they've been kept in Yuan Ming Garden Pavilion and are not allowed to enter the palace.
If 4th Prince's birth mother is lowly and ugly, why did His Majesty take interest in her? Lower your voice His Majesty was supposedly still a Duke at the time It was a drunken mistake For this incident, he was also harshly reprimanded by the late emperor.
At that time, nine princes strove for the throne, No wonder His Majesty takes his anger out on 4th Prince This is a hugely forbidden subject in the palace Just pretend you don't know Thanks Jiejie for warning me Greetings Princess of Glory.
Greetings Pin of Beauty.
Get up Thanks Niang Niang Precious Wan has always paid respects to the Empress early in the morning.
Why were you late today? It's uncommon.
Sisters are diligent.
I was lazy.
I dare not say you are lazy You must be tired from serving His Majesty unlike us, idle with so much free time.
Pin of Beaulty has served his majesty for a long time must know a saying-- do not say things which are not conform to the rites I am still young, I hope for more advice from Niang Niang I haven't been in the palace for long.
I have little experience.
If I have misspoken, I hope that Niang Niang won't take offense.
Lately Precious Wan has been busy serving His Majesty Precious Shen must be free Do you have time to copy the female Analects of Confucius for me? It will also remind people in the harem to scrupulously abide by the model female, to speak and act cautiously.
Niang Niang's orders, how could I not comply with? But, when would Niang Niang like it by? Not a hurry, take your time copying When I want it, I will send someone to get it Precious Shen seems thinner Is it because His Majesty hasn't called for you lately? Niang Niang jokes with me But, it's because of the hot and muggy weather.
I don't have an appetite.
I see I thought it was Precious Wan's being favored makes you sick I dare not Precious Wan is smart and pretty.
Being chosen to attend to His Majesty is common sense.
Never mind if you are anyone else Precious Wan and Precious Shen are close sisters how can you forget to share with your sister when you are specially favored Thank you for watching! brPlease join us! Presented by the Legend of Zhen Huan Team @ Viki
