穎妃一進宮就得到最高禮遇,連乾隆都不敢得罪,讓她能在宮中橫着走!

Traveling through the day and night and finally here. This Yuanming Garden is truly so pretty. Mistress, you will either be living at Yuanming Garden or Forbidden City from now on.
– [ A’Yu ] So pretty for you to live. Aunt Yuhu, where do I live? His Majesty must have it all arranged. Shared Happiness Garden is already ready. This way, please, Concubine Ying. This way. On the plains we have so many servants. But still fewer compared to the palace. Greetings to Mistress Ying. The hair nanny is already here. She will change your dress. Change? You’re now a mistress of the palace. You’re not longer a small princess of the plains. Your attire will need to be changed. Or how will you serve His Majesty? Let’s change then. Our Manchu rules is to comb two parts and put a knot. You’re in the palace and all the rules will be different. I can change. Mistress, over there. Don’t talk. Mistress, higher. Over there. Flew again. That butterfly is so big and so pretty. I think my father lied to me. He said it was so idle at the palace. But I don’t feel that. I find it so fun here. Hurry and help me catch it. There. Which mistress is this to run into His Majesty? You’re not going to bid your greeting? Your Majesty? You’re the emperor? You know me? I saw you in a painting. You’re better looking in person. In the painting you can’t smile and look so frozen. Oh my, Mistress, please don’t speak rudely. You must be the newly entered Barin clanswoman. I am. Mistress, pay greeting. Greetings to Your Majesty. Alright. Concubine Ying. I think my title for you wasn’t wrong. You are truly smart and elegant. Alright. Let’s go stroll. Yes. A new person indeed. Just a couple words and the emperor’s happy already. Mistress, don’t panic. How can I panic? I’m already like this. I have to wait. Wait till the chance comes back again. His Majesty rested at Concubine Ying’s place again? Yes. Since that day His Majsty ran into Concubine Ying by chance, he’s been so fond of her. Concubine Ying has a naive and outgoing personality. Of course she wins His Majesty’s favor. All the new people in the palace are like fresh flowers of the imperial garden. Shinny and unbeatable. The ones that have passed are passed. How many will remember them? You mean Consort Shu? Your Highness, in a few days, His Majesty will go to Mulan pastures for autumn hunt. You should choose carefully who goes to serve. I’ve just finished my post-partum. Let’s have Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke go. His Majesty is also bringing 4th and 5th princes. Naturally, he will also bring Noble Consort Jia and Consort Yu. Your Highness, there’s a matter. I can’t not tell you. May you forgive me for saying it. Go ahead and say it. Our 12th Prince is the legitimate son. But he’s still young. Now, His Majesty is most fond of 4th prince. I thought since Noble Consort Jia isn’t someone easily content. And with Yu clan as her back, I fear she will try to get the crown prince seat for 4th prince. Noble Consort Jia has always had that intention. Other than 4th prince, His Majesty is also fond of 5th prince. If His Majesty has the interest to set heir. It is better that he chooses 5th prince over 4th. But even though you’ve raised 5th prince. Forgive me for saying this out of place. But 5th prince wasn’t birthed by you. No matter how good he is and how filial he is, it’s still a belly away. Rong Pei. Since Yongji was born, I’ve thought it over many times. Yongji, though he’s the legitimate heir, he’s still young and doesn’t know anything. If Yongqi can take over the position first, setting him as the crown prince is good too. Yongji can be an honorable duke later on and that’s good too. Your Highness, you really think so? We have no false words between us. Today, you smell so good. Did you use some perfume gifted by the west? On my way here, it was full of lotus in the path and I suppose my clothing was touched by lotus fragrance. Your Majesty, Empress said the western perfume isn’t easy to get so she can’t really spare using it. But the western chiming clock you gifted her last time, she loves. But she put it away out of fear it will startle 5th Princess. When I think of my daughter Jingsi, my heart aches. I know you ache for Jingsi. So I put away the good stuff and will gift to her later as wedding dowry. Jingsi has Jingsi’s. The good items I gifted you, don’t waste them. Your Majesty, Concubine Ying is waiting outside. She’s preparing meal for you and Empress. Bring her in. Yes. This Concubine Ying just came to the palace a few days ago. You haven’t met her, right? Her personality is like yours. Greetings to Your Majesty, to Empress. I am from Barin Clan. Greetings to Empress. You’re beautiful indeed. Thank you for the praise. Get on up. I came to the palace for the first time and I know the palace lacks nothing. So I just brought some big blessing dolls I love. To gift to 12th Prince and 5th Princess. This Big Blessing, though not expensive, they were gifted to me by my father from afar. I’ve kept them for a long time. I hope Empress and 12th Prince and 5th Princess won’t mind. You’ve kept them for so long but you can spare them to 12th Prince and 5th Princess. Your thought is precious. I thank you for their behalves. You smile so naive and brilliantly. When you’re home, your father must adore you. You are so right, Empress. My father has many sons. But only me as his daughter. He cherishes me the most. He always said he wishes I could be a stick of usnea. Leaning on him forever. I love the obedience of usnea too. But I wish more for Jingsi to be like a rose. To be thorny and not easily coveted. Jingsi is still so young and you already say this? The fathers love their daughters indeed. Mistress. Mistress. Greetings to Mistress Ling. This is so bustling here. I have some words to tell Mistress Ling. You all leave first. Alright. Don’t cry anymore. I cherish you. Get on up. It’s cold on the floor. And this slapping. It’s to remind you to be more careful in the future. But also to console you. No one’s trying to harvest your life right now. This cheap life of mine. Anyone can harvest it. Am I supposed to just endure it all my life? And never have a chance again? Mistress Ling. You sing the Kun Opera and that’s the truth. But if no one likes it at Yuanming Garden, why not we switch to a different place to sing it? Everyone finds it a pest no matter where. Yuanming Garden has many people and it’s bustling. But if you go to a remote place, your singing will become something rare and precious. Right? On the food collection matter. I heard you two worked hard on it. Replying to Royal Father. In Hubei and Jiangxi, we collected food urgently and it’s already arrives in Jiangnan. But the number of disaster victims keeps growing and that’s why there was food shortage. I assigned the grains to prevent any riots among hungry victims. The crime of Jiangnan flood disaster lays with the river work corruption. 4th Brother and I assisted a few elderly ministers, to collect grains and we made strict order that the grains are to be transported to Jiangnan only. Not to make stops at each district in order to prevent deductions. Hence, the grains all went to the mouths of the victims. You two are thoughtful in your work and I am consoled. Once the work at hand is more idle, I will take you to Mulan autumn hunt. Yes. Royal Father, we had the assassination attempt last time. Though it was resolved we must increase security. For just in case, I am willing to guard your side entire time. Mistress Ling wanted to see me. Is it because you got slapped. And you can’t endure anymore? I am getting punished for what I did. This little punishment doesn’t need Empress Dowager’s pity. I was going to climb up to help ease Empress Dowager’s stress. But what can I do? I can’t even do that well. You’re flustered already? Not so. His Majesty’s Mulan autumn hunt. He’s not bringing you. I asked you to come because I have a favor to ask of Empress Dowager. Consort Ling is sick? Yes. Royal Physician Bao went to see her. She’s got liver gas indeed. Consort Ling is asking to return to the palace to rest quietly. Saying she doesn’t want her illness to be contagious. That’s fine too. His Majesty will be leaving for Mulan autumn hunt soon. We’re leaving Empress Dowager and some wives and heirs to rest in Yuanming Garden. We shouldn’t really have a sick person among them. Since Consort Ling asked, let’s send her back to the palace. Yes. I wanted to bring you with me to the Mulan autumn hunt. But you just had your post-partum and you shouldn’t get tired. So you should rest at Yuanming Garden to rest. Jingsi’s health, I can’t leave with ease either. So this Mulan trip, let’s have Concubine Ying and Ke go along. Noble Consort Jia also begged me to come with me. But I don’t want her to be by my side making noise. And Consort Yu volunteered to stay to take care of the princes. And she can help you manage the various tasks at Yuanming Garden. In my harem, if we can have more like Consort Yu who doesn’t care about fighting for attention. Someone like her that only wants peace here, then I’d be so much more assured. Consort Ling is sick and I’ve already sent someone to escort her back to the palace. It’s all yours to manage. Your Majesty, when you go to Mulan, though you’ve got the guards double in number, I still worry. I know. But Mulan autumn hunt is an ancestral ritual and I must go. Then you must be more cautious. Don’t worry. Mistress, we finally came out. If this can succeed, it’s due to Empress Dowager’s grace. This is all that others can help with. Chunchan, the rest is all up to ourselves. Yongcheng. I saw your riding. Your riding’s improved much. I am your guard. I can’t let my riding or my archery fall behind. – Eunuch Jin Zhong.
– Jin Zhong. I arranged everything. But we need to compromise you a bit. As long as it can be done, I won’t be compromised at all. Then let’s go. Go. This time, I’ve got four horses. I’m almost catching up to you. One, two, three, four. I’ve got four too. How do you have four? You’re lying. Who is?
– You’ve got three. You’ve got three horses, right? Alright, let’s say it’s three. One, two, three, four. One, two, three. You won again. Your Majesty, I won again. Great. Another round. Let’s play again. This time I will win for sure. Alright, I’ll concede to you. This time, I go first. Your Majesty, Concubine Ying and Ke both left. This time we’ve only got Concubine Ying and Ke here? Yes, Your Majesty. If you find it uninteresting, Mongolian dukes all have tribute women. Forget it. They are all similar. Overly bold and overly spirited. Almost boring. Your Majesty, you’ve been riding the horse all day you must feel sore. The warm spring area is all prepared. Good. Let’s go with the usual. Li Yu. Have someone massage me. Yes. Who is this? To massage His Majesty. Be careful and attentive. Go in. Who was that that just entered? A Mongolian servant here to massage His Majesty. Eunuch Li arranged it. Replying to Your Majesty, the master is here to relax your bones. You all leave. Did you not eat? What’s going on? If you don’t have the strength, change to someone else. Consort Ling, why is it you? Your Majesty, it’s me. I remember Her Highness mentioning that you were sick and you are going back to the palace to recuperate. What are you doing here? I keep thinking of you. I wanted to see you. I couldn’t restrain myself. If not, I will regret for the rest of my life. Thus, even if I die, I came to Mulan paddock. Is your illness serious? When I couldn’t see you, I missed you too much, all the worrying impacted the health. Now that I have seen you, with Your Majesty’s body, all my sickness have been cured. Your Majesty. I miss you. If you wanted to see me, you can make a request. Why did you do this? I’m despicable. I wanted to see you. Please forgive me for doing this. You came from a distant. You can be considered as sincere. Seeing how pitiful you are, I won’t blame you. Rise. I haven’t seen you for a long time but I have always known your preferences. Lately, I practised singing some new songs. It’s rather refine. Your Majesty, please appraise it. Fine. Sing then. Looking at the blooming flowers, one’s reminded of the beauty. Looking at the cloud, one’s reminded of the gown. Excellent. It has been a long time since I heard you sing this. It’s definitely refine. Get in and serve me. Yes. The gorgeous gown, who dares to compete? The moonlight is lovely tonight, the shadows of the branched could be seen hanging over the water. During this time, the aster flowers in the palace bloom luxuriantly. That day when you protected me, the aster flowers in the palace just happened to bloom. Your Majesty, the day when I could take care of you, I’m very fortunate. It’s my blessing. Greetings, Your Majesty, Consort Ling. Imperial Concubine Ying just entered the palace and you could witnessed such a great act. It’s extremely rare. My mother is pressing on, the concubines are worried. I have never seen such a person who could fight for favors this way. Today is considered an eye-opener. People like us will not engage in such seductions. Older Sister, you are right. His Majesty has been cold towards Consort Ling for for almost two years. And she is able to regain favors. If we are still not careful, would we still have any status in the future? Your Majesty, I’m here. When you listen to this laughter, aren’t they being intimate? It’s not like any one hasn’t served the Emperor. You can’t catch me. Older Sister, don’t be angry. If you don’t like listening to her, just cover your ears. Your Majesty, I’m here. Teacher, looking for me? Jinzhong, you even dared to play tricks today? Did you made the arrangement for Mistress Ling? Teacher, I didn’t know how she got into here. It was you who mentioned the hot spring. His Majesty will always soak in the hot spring after being tired from riding the whole day. Moreover, the attendants in the hot spring were arranged by you. I really didn’t know about this. Your Majesty, I’m here. You brushed everything off so well! Everything was fine. How could it be changed to Consort Ling? If there isn’t a spy here, how could this happen? Teacher, I really am not aware of this. Sir Ling and Jingbo were guarding the hot spring. Stop quibbling. When Consort Ling lost favors, Jingbao hasn’t been talking to her. As for you, you have been secretly asking for favors. Even if I was clueless in the past, but I’m here now. How could I have arranged for the carriage and Consort Ling to leave the palace? I don’t have such ability. Teacher, don’t falsely accuse me. Someone in the palace could have arranged this. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com I heard that the Third Prince and his wife Wanyan are very close. They are inseparable. I’m really happy for Noble Consort Chun. That’s right. It’s also Yongzhang’s blessing that the married couple could get along so well. I think, they will give His Majesty a grandchild soon. Your Highness, please take a look at the information that Eunuch Li has delivered. What’s this? Why so urgent? [ Consort Ling regained favor at Mulan Paddock ] ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of
‫the bride or the groom? ‫The groom. You? ‫A friend of the bride. ‫We actually met before.
‫You may have forgotten. ‫Next time, let’s
‫have dinner together? ‫Sure. ‫The main heir of
‫zheng tai is here. ‫Hello, mister. Mister, hello. ‫Isn’t he just a
‫hedonistic, rich son just ‫depending on his parents?
‫What’s good about that? ‫Ha. ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Stupid, I should have
‫asked him for more money. ‫Aunty, I’m here. ‫Sorry. Aunty, I have to deal with
‫some things today so I got delayed. ‫Are you hungry? I
‫can cook something. ‫Qing ling, if you are really sincere
‫in calling me aunty, then great. ‫I am asking you to immediately leave our
‫house today and severe ties with ah hai. ‫Aunty, don’t be angry. ‫I’m sorry. I was
‫wrong. Forgive me. ‫Besides apologizing, what
‫else are you capable of? ‫Do you think you’re
‫worthy to be ah hai’s wife? ‫I only have one son. I spent a
‫whole lifetime of hard work on him. ‫I cannot let ah hai get
‫destroyed in your hands. ‫That won’t happen,
‫aunty. I will surely work ‫hard to be ah hai’s
‫motivation, a virtuous wife. ‫Aunty, please believe me.
‫Don’t make me leave me, okay? ‫Qing ling, don’t blame
‫me for being harsh. ‫You’re just an orphan. ‫Let’s not talk about education,
‫work, or family background. ‫You don’t even have a
‫basic thing like a parent. ‫What can you use to be
‫responsible to ah hai? ‫Our ah hai is destined to
‫do great things. Qing ling, ‫treat it as me begging you. I’m
‫begging you not to drag him down. Okay? ‫Aunty, I’m sorry,
‫I can’t promise you. ‫Aunty, I love him. ‫You… ‫It’s fine. As time

‫day without entering the villa. ‫Please come again. ‫Hey. ‫Today’s your
‫ex-girlfriend’s wedding. ‫Okay. I’ll treat you to a drink. ‫I want to ask you for a favor. ‫If you want to go through me to talk with
‫tian lang, there’s nothing to talk about. ‫I don’t need to find him. ‫I need you. ‫That day when I brought you to the
‫villa, I hope that you won’t tell him. ‫If you didn’t mention
‫it, I would’ve forgotten. ‫Why can’t I tell him? ‫You’re scared he’ll
‫bring you trouble? ‫I beg you. Please
‫don’t tell him. ‫Also, I’m also asking that
‫you forget about that matter. ‫Okay. I’ll promise
‫you. I won’t tell him. ‫Thank you very much. ‫Today… I’ll treat. ‫Drink whatever you
‫want. I’ll treat you. ‫My mood is good today.
‫I’ll drink with you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sun Chang qing, do you have
‫a face cramps or something? ‫I clearly gave you such
‫an important project. ‫Ding hai, is the key for the zheng
‫tai villa hotel model unit with you? ‫The keys are right
‫here. What’s wrong? ‫I clearly gave it to sun Chang
‫qing so he can take some pictures. ‫Why is it in your hands? ‫Editor-in-chief, although I am tasked
‫to do the writing of the feature article, ‫just looking at pictures, how can I know
‫the outstanding aspects of the villa hotel? ‫That’s why, you personally
‫went there to experience it? ‫I just went there to
‫personally take a look. ‫After looking, I’ll be
‫returning the key to you. ‫How about this? I’ll finish the
‫article now and give it to you. ‫No need. I just received a
‫complaint call from zheng tai earlier. ‫They said that our employee
‫misused their model unit ‫so they want to cancel their advertisement
‫contract with us and will even sue us. ‫It was you, right? It
‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled
‫by the two of you. ‫I only went there to look after
‫office hours. I didn’t misuse it. ‫Don’t say that to me. ‫Go to zheng tai and explain. ‫If you are not able to
‫get this advertisement ‫contract back, don’t
‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! It’s coming out. It really wasn’t easy. What an adorable baby. Greetings, Your Majesty. – Greetings, Your Majesty.
– Rise. – Has Her Highness regained consciousness?
– Yes. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Her Highness has given birth to a princess. Your Majesty, look. The princess is smiling at you. Wonderful. This is my fifth princess. Since I birthed Princess Hejia, it’s been 8 years. There is finally another princess. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Since she came at a timely moment, I will confer her as Princess Heshi. Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of Her Highness and the princess. How is Her Highness? She is fine. Fifth Princess was just born. Take a look at her situation. Yes. Congratulations, Your Majesty, for having a princess. Your Majesty. Do you feel better? Our daughter is very adorable. She even smiled at me just now. What about Consort Shu? Just take care of yourself first. Internal Affairs Department will handle her funeral. It wasn’t easy for Older Sister to give birth to this child. That’s right. It was tough for Her Highness. Imperial Physician Jiang, why is the baby’s face a bit purple? That’s right. Wasn’t she fine just now? Is she gasping for air? I have conferred the title of Princess Heyi to our child. Let’s name her Jingsi. Si meaning, a female rhino. – I hope she will be strong like a rhinoceros.
– Fine. Your Majesty, I have something important to report. What’s so important? The face of the princess is purple and she’s gasping for air. When I listened to her heartbeat, it was rather slow. – I fear…
– What do you fear? I deserve to die. I fear the princess has a heart problem. What heart problem? When a baby is newly born with such an example, Whimpering and sweating. Purple coloring on the face. Slow sucking. When she grows up, her health will be fragile. Can she be cured? There is no cure for the time being. We can only raise her carefully and there must not be any accidents. Why do you say this? This is to say, if the princess grows up, she must not exhaust herself. She should not receive any shocks. If she does, she will… You must be wrong. Get all the Imperial Physicians here! Yes. Your Majesty. Your Majesty. What is today? The day 5th Princess is born. It’s the day Consort Shu leaves the world. Then did Consort Shu bring this ominousness to 5th Princess? 10th Prince was weak and left the world. 5th Princess is born with a heart disease. It’s not Consort Shu’s fault. Don’t blame Consort Shu. I won’t argue. I won’t argue about anything. Just as long our princess can be preserved and she can grow up safely. Then I won’t argue about anything. Alright? Don’t cry anymore. Each and every one of you midwives and royal physicians contributed merit in delivery. Princess if born and you were supposed to be rewarded well. But since Consort Shu just passed away, and we have flooding in the south. Empress has ordered that the reward will be halved for everyone. To contribute merit on behalf of Princess. Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress for the grace. We suffered in helping with delivery. But not only did not add to the reward, they halved it? Yes, Nanny Tian, you ought to speak for us. You need money urgently, don’t you? His Majesty and Empress made the rule so what can we say? It’s because 5th Princess has a heart disease. We just worked hard for nothing. Nanny Tian. Greetings to Consort Ling. Get on up. What’s wrong, Nanny Tian? Why are you crying now? 5th Princess has an ill health. Empress halved the rewards to us servants after labor. But — But my daughter’s health isn’t well either. She’s been taking Royal Physician Bao’s medicine. And I’m out of silvers to buy the medicine now. For your own daughter, you will have to spend it somehow. Claim note I can’t take your reward for no reason. Take it. I will trouble you later on. No, no. I don’t dare. You don’t dare? Then what about your daughter’s illness? Nanny Tian, just take it. I thank you. Nanny Tian, you’re being aloof now. Who’s good to you and who treats you well sincerely. We just need you to be aware of it. Later on, if you need money again, just tell us. Yes. Yes. Consort Ling is kind. Then I will take my leave. Your Highness. His Majesty is so concerned about our 5th Princess. He’s too busy with state affairs to come over but he had Eunuch Li bring this amber wrap. To have 5th Princess sleep soundly. Bring it to the princess. Yes. Take it there.
– Yes. Your Highness, Eunuch Li said that day, before going to see His Majesty, Consort Shu went to 10th Prince’s memorial. At the time, Consort Ling was there too. Then Consort Ling said something to her? I can’t tell. Tomorrow, summon Consort Ling for me. I need to ask her. Yes. Your Highness, you shouldn’t worry about others now. You should nurture your health back first. You’ve been kneeling for an hour and now you can’t anymore? I don’t dare. Consort Ling. Let me borrow your ears to listen. What is this tune? It’s Kun Opera’s “Startling Dream.” I heard you’re learning to sing “Peony Pavilion” lately. I am just learning it as leisure activity since I’m bored. You’re not eager to court the emperor’s favor. You’ve set your mind to leisure instead. It’s unlike you. I am incompetent. I can’t earn His Majesty’s favor. You’re incompetent. Your skills are something no one can compete with. Consort Shu and 10th Prince’s life were in your grasp. You’re still incompetent? Forgive me, Empress Dowager. I don’t dare. You don’t dare? Consort Shu asked about conception tonic before her death. The tonic is strange. The emperor knows of it and Qi Ru knows of it and I sort of do. Consort Shu suddenly asks about it. It’s clearly not from us that she caught wind of it. Mistress Ling, you once secretly learned Consort Shu’s conception medicine recipe to drink. Later on you suddenly stopped drinking it. Naturally you found out the strangeness of it Consort Shu, before she went to see His Majesty, she saw you at 10th Prince’s memorial briefly. Other than you, who else would’ve told her the truth? Empress Dowager. I — You told her the conception medicine was linked to her losing her child. That’s why Consort Shu was upset and went mad. Is that right? I didn’t. I wouldn’t dare. I really did nothing. Fujia. What goodness did you find out? Bring it and let Consort Ling have a look. Yes. Consort Ling. When Consort Shu was pregnant. What you fed her. It’s all here. Everyday a bag. You eat it yourself. Then I will feign ignorance of everything. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com I — Mistress Ling, you were willing to let others eat it. Why can’t you eat it yourself? Eat it. Empress Dowager, forgive me. I will never dare again. Then you tell me yourself what exactly did you do? Say it. I — I — I was deluded. I was jealous Consort Shu got pregnant. So I gave her medicine to weaken her kidney. But I didn’t mean to kill 10th Prince. I — I just thought. I wanted Consort Shu to lose her beauty. So she won’t be favored by His Majesty anymore. Then when Jiang Yubin rushed back to treat Consort Shu, he was delayed due to illness in the middle. Was that your doing too? Yes. I bribed the traveling deputy. And put medicine that causes diarrhea on him. Great calculation. I have been in the palace for so many years. I’ve met a fierce one. Empress is summoning Consort Ling. Aunt Rong. My mistress got summoned by Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager cared about Consort Shu so much. Wasn’t it just because she was skilled and beautiful and she could carry out work for you? But her handicap was that she was picked by you outright and His Majesty can’t help but suspect her. Allow me to work for you secretly instead? You? Consort Shu was too infatuated. She couldn’t stand a few words from me and killed herself. Her volition is weak and she couldn’t accomplish things. Such a useless thing just wasted your time nurturing her. Consort Shu was useless. Then what about you? I do care about His Majesty too. But I’m not like Consort Shu who devotes her whole heart and ends up unable to pull herself out. Consort Shu was too infatuated. How could she be loyal to you? In this palace, one can have ambition. One can have pretense. But one must never be completely sincere. Or else, she’s looking for death on her own. Empress Dowager’s teaching, I shall keep in mind. Empress Dowager is willing to teach me this. You are approving me to work my diligence for your sake? You’re a clever one. How would I dare to use you? Empress Dowager, you’ve gone through three reigns. What haven’t you seen? I’ve got no family background. If I can be used by you and carry out work for you, that will be my honor. You want me to forgive you. And you want me to preserve you in the future too? And you call it in nice terms, that you’re working for me? Empress is summoning Consort Ling. No matter how clever I am, my life depends on you. If you approve, I will repay you with my life and bones. Empress Dowager, Empress has sent Aunt Rong to seek Consort Ling urgently. Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, Empress must have noticed something. You did it yourself. Now you’re scared? I beg for your protection. I gratefully ask for the chance to work for you to pay you back. Empress Dowager. Empress must know. That before Consort Shu met you at 10th Prince’s memorial before she died. Let’s fo this. You don’t need to die but you can’t escape a punishment. Or you can’t overcome the bump with Empress. Until Consort Shu’s 100th day memorial, let Empress’s attendant Rong Pei go to your palace and slap you ten times daily. To pacify Empress’s anger and suspicion. And let Empress forgive you this time and we’ll chat about later. Empress Dowager punishing me is saving me. I thank Empress Dowager. Heaven and Land One Spring Family I was punished by Empress to kneel at memorial hall to repent because I was singing over 10th Prince’s death memorial. I did see Consort Shu at the time. But Consort Shu seemed startled and panicky. So I didn’t talk to her at all. The gods are my witness. If I speak nonsense, the gods are watching me. May Empress be sage. Swear. Consort Ling swears so easily. Consort Shu is gone now and we’ve got no witness. That day, Consort Shu didn’t bring an attendant to the hall. Indeed we can’t have a witness about what Consort Ling said to Consort Shu. But Consort Shu did die after seeing Consort Ling so Consort Ling can’t escape the suspicion. Your Highness, Empress Dowager cast the order. That until Consort Shu’s 100th day memorial ceremony, to let me go to Consort Ling’s palace to slap her ten times a day to prove her earnest. Why would Empress Dowager cast that order? Aunt Fujia said Empress Dowager is angry. Consort Ling singing opera on 10th Prince’s memorial was improper. And because Consort Ling saw that Consort Shu had looked unnatural but did not report it to anyone. If she had, Consort Shu might have had the chance for rescue. Empress Dowager has already punished her so I’m not in good position to say more. Let’s just go with Empress Dowager’s intention. Let her go. Yes. Consort Shu died wretchedly and she only met you before it. I didn’t harm her. You didn’t report that she didn’t look normal. Or else what happened could’ve been avoided. Of course you harmed her. Empress Dowager’s punishment for you. Do you consent? Consent. I will take my leave. Mistress. Mistress. I heard Empress Dowager ordered Consort Ling to be slapped daily as punishment over what happend to Consort Shu. Actually Consort Shu just left so suddenly. I found it to be strange. Before Consort Shu died, she met Consort Ling at 10th Prince’s memorial hall. Whatever happened there, I am suspicious too. But Consort Ling won’t confess. I was going to send Consort Ling to the punishment bureau. But I didn’t imagine Empress Dowager stepped out and punished her. I can’t say more either then. I just find that this Consort Ling is capable of doing anything. Actually, Consort Shu is so pitiful. She only passed away not long ago, but Barin Clanswoman is about to enter the palace. I heard Aunt Yuhu is going to welcome her personally. His Majesty gave her an imperial concubine title straight away too. With title of ‘Ying (witty)’. Barin clanswoman is the daughter of Barin Prince. The entire Barin tribe are Baturu (warriors) that fought Dzungar. They are Dzungar’s strong enemy. Promoting her as imperial concubine is only natural. His Majesty already granted marriage to High Princess Duanshu. Why is he having the daughter of Dzungar’s enemy enter the palace? I suppose it’s using enemies to control each other. His Majesty is preparing for the rainy day and being thorough. Jingsi. 5th Princess is so pretty. Why does she have a heart disease? It’s fine when it’s not acting up. But when it’s hard for her, her little face is all red. Your Highness, Royal Physician said it. That as long as we are careful and careful more. Nothing big will be the matter. Please don’t worry. Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen to Jingsi. Alright. Today, Concubine Ying is coming to the palace. I must leave first. Mistress. Mistress. Concubine Ying? I haven’t even climbed up and a new person is here? Greetings to Imperial Concubine Ying. Imperial Concubine Ying
Barin Meiru Concubine Ying, you’ve arrived. Traveling through the day and night and finally here. This Yuanming Garden is truly so pretty. Mistress, you will either be living at Yuanming Garden or Forbidden City from now on.
– [ A’Yu ] So pretty for you to live. Aunt Yuhu, where do I live? His Majesty must have it all arranged. Shared Happiness Garden is already ready. This way, please, Concubine Ying. This way. On the plains we have so many servants. But still fewer compared to the palace. Greetings to Mistress Ying. The hair nanny is already here. She will change your dress. Change? You’re now a mistress of the palace. You’re not longer a small princess of the plains. Your attire will need to be changed. Or how will you serve His Majesty? Let’s change then. Our Manchu rules is to comb two parts and put a knot. You’re in the palace and all the rules will be different. I can change. Mistress, over there. Don’t talk. Mistress, higher. Over there. Flew again. That butterfly is so big and so pretty. I think my father lied to me. He said it was so idle at the palace. But I don’t feel that. I find it so fun here. Hurry and help me catch it. There. Which mistress is this to run into His Majesty? You’re not going to bid your greeting? Your Majesty? You’re the emperor? You know me? I saw you in a painting. You’re better looking in person. In the painting you can’t smile and look so frozen. Oh my, Mistress, please don’t speak rudely. You must be the newly entered Barin clanswoman. I am. Mistress, pay greeting. Greetings to Your Majesty. Alright. Concubine Ying. I think my title for you wasn’t wrong. You are truly smart and elegant. Alright. Let’s go stroll. Yes. A new person indeed. Just a couple words and the emperor’s happy already. Mistress, don’t panic. How can I panic? I’m already like this. I have to wait. Wait till the chance comes back again. His Majesty rested at Concubine Ying’s place again? Yes. Since that day His Majsty ran into Concubine Ying by chance, he’s been so fond of her. Concubine Ying has a naive and outgoing personality. Of course she wins His Majesty’s favor. All the new people in the palace are like fresh flowers of the imperial garden. Shinny and unbeatable. The ones that have passed are passed. How many will remember them? You mean Consort Shu? Your Highness, in a few days, His Majesty will go to Mulan pastures for autumn hunt. You should choose carefully who goes to serve. I’ve just finished my post-partum. Let’s have Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke go. His Majesty is also bringing 4th and 5th princes. Naturally, he will also bring Noble Consort Jia and Consort Yu. Your Highness, there’s a matter. I can’t not tell you. May you forgive me for saying it. Go ahead and say it. Our 12th Prince is the legitimate son. But he’s still young. Now, His Majesty is most fond of 4th prince. I thought since Noble Consort Jia isn’t someone easily content. And with Yu clan as her back, I fear she will try to get the crown prince seat for 4th prince. Noble Consort Jia has always had that intention. Other than 4th prince, His Majesty is also fond of 5th prince. If His Majesty has the interest to set heir. It is better that he chooses 5th prince over 4th. But even though you’ve raised 5th prince. Forgive me for saying this out of place. But 5th prince wasn’t birthed by you. No matter how good he is and how filial he is, it’s still a belly away. Rong Pei. Since Yongji was born, I’ve thought it over many times. Yongji, though he’s the legitimate heir, he’s still young and doesn’t know anything. If Yongqi can take over the position first, setting him as the crown prince is good too. Yongji can be an honorable duke later on and that’s good too. Your Highness, you really think so? We have no false words between us. Today, you smell so good. Did you use some perfume gifted by the west? On my way here, it was full of lotus in the path and I suppose my clothing was touched by lotus fragrance. Your Majesty, Empress said the western perfume isn’t easy to get so she can’t really spare using it. But the western chiming clock you gifted her last time, she loves. But she put it away out of fear it will startle 5th Princess. When I think of my daughter Jingsi, my heart aches. I know you ache for Jingsi. So I put away the good stuff and will gift to her later as wedding dowry. Jingsi has Jingsi’s. The good items I gifted you, don’t waste them. Your Majesty, Concubine Ying is waiting outside. She’s preparing meal for you and Empress. Bring her in. Yes. This Concubine Ying just came to the palace a few days ago. You haven’t met her, right? Her personality is like yours. Greetings to Your Majesty, to Empress. I am from Barin Clan. Greetings to Empress. You’re beautiful indeed. Thank you for the praise. Get on up. I came to the palace for the first time and I know the palace lacks nothing. So I just brought some big blessing dolls I love. To gift to 12th Prince and 5th Princess. This Big Blessing, though not expensive, they were gifted to me by my father from afar. I’ve kept them for a long time. I hope Empress and 12th Prince and 5th Princess won’t mind. You’ve kept them for so long but you can spare them to 12th Prince and 5th Princess. Your thought is precious. I thank you for their behalves. You smile so naive and brilliantly. When you’re home, your father must adore you. You are so right, Empress. My father has many sons. But only me as his daughter. He cherishes me the most. He always said he wishes I could be a stick of usnea. Leaning on him forever. I love the obedience of usnea too. But I wish more for Jingsi to be like a rose. To be thorny and not easily coveted. Jingsi is still so young and you already say this? The fathers love their daughters indeed. Mistress. Mistress. Greetings to Mistress Ling. This is so bustling here. I have some words to tell Mistress Ling. You all leave first. Alright. Don’t cry anymore. I cherish you. Get on up. It’s cold on the floor. And this slapping. It’s to remind you to be more careful in the future. But also to console you. No one’s trying to harvest your life right now. This cheap life of mine. Anyone can harvest it. Am I supposed to just endure it all my life? And never have a chance again? Mistress Ling. You sing the Kun Opera and that’s the truth. But if no one likes it at Yuanming Garden, why not we switch to a different place to sing it? Everyone finds it a pest no matter where. Yuanming Garden has many people and it’s bustling. But if you go to a remote place, your singing will become something rare and precious. Right? On the food collection matter. I heard you two worked hard on it. Replying to Royal Father. In Hubei and Jiangxi, we collected food urgently and it’s already arrives in Jiangnan. But the number of disaster victims keeps growing and that’s why there was food shortage. I assigned the grains to prevent any riots among hungry victims. The crime of Jiangnan flood disaster lays with the river work corruption. 4th Brother and I assisted a few elderly ministers, to collect grains and we made strict order that the grains are to be transported to Jiangnan only. Not to make stops at each district in order to prevent deductions. Hence, the grains all went to the mouths of the victims. You two are thoughtful in your work and I am consoled. Once the work at hand is more idle, I will take you to Mulan autumn hunt. Yes. Royal Father, we had the assassination attempt last time. Though it was resolved we must increase security. For just in case, I am willing to guard your side entire time. Mistress Ling wanted to see me. Is it because you got slapped. And you can’t endure anymore? I am getting punished for what I did. This little punishment doesn’t need Empress Dowager’s pity. I was going to climb up to help ease Empress Dowager’s stress. But what can I do? I can’t even do that well. You’re flustered already? Not so. His Majesty’s Mulan autumn hunt. He’s not bringing you. I asked you to come because I have a favor to ask of Empress Dowager. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of
‫the bride or the groom? ‫The groom. You? ‫A friend of the bride. ‫We actually met before.
‫You may have forgotten. ‫Next time, let’s
‫have dinner together? ‫Sure. ‫The main heir of
‫zheng tai is here. ‫Hello, mister. Mister, hello. ‫Isn’t he just a
‫hedonistic, rich son just ‫depending on his parents?
‫What’s good about that? ‫Ha. ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Stupid, I should have
‫asked him for more money. ‫Aunty, I’m here. ‫Sorry. Aunty, I have to deal with
‫some things today so I got delayed. ‫Are you hungry? I
‫can cook something. ‫Qing ling, if you are really sincere
‫in calling me aunty, then great. ‫I am asking you to immediately leave our
‫house today and severe ties with ah hai. ‫Aunty, don’t be angry. ‫I’m sorry. I was
‫wrong. Forgive me. ‫Besides apologizing, what
‫else are you capable of? ‫Do you think you’re
‫worthy to be ah hai’s wife? ‫I only have one son. I spent a
‫whole lifetime of hard work on him. ‫I cannot let ah hai get
‫destroyed in your hands. ‫That won’t happen,
‫aunty. I will surely work ‫hard to be ah hai’s
‫motivation, a virtuous wife. ‫Aunty, please believe me.
‫Don’t make me leave me, okay? ‫Qing ling, don’t blame
‫me for being harsh. ‫You’re just an orphan. ‫Let’s not talk about education,
‫work, or family background. ‫You don’t even have a
‫basic thing like a parent. ‫What can you use to be
‫responsible to ah hai? ‫Our ah hai is destined to
‫do great things. Qing ling, ‫treat it as me begging you. I’m
‫begging you not to drag him down. Okay? ‫Aunty, I’m sorry,
‫I can’t promise you. ‫Aunty, I love him. ‫You… ‫It’s fine. As time
‫passes by, aunty will ‫surely understand that
‫I sincerely love ah hai. ‫Qing ling, you can do this. ‫Aunty will
‫definitely accept you. ‫May everyone welcome this new
‫couple with a big round of applause! ‫Let us give them the
‫most wonderful blessings. ‫Oh, no. So she is the girlfriend
‫of the heir of zheng tai. ‫No wonder she just left that
‫day without entering the villa. ‫Please come again. ‫Hey. ‫Today’s your
‫ex-girlfriend’s wedding. ‫Okay. I’ll treat you to a drink. ‫I want to ask you for a favor. ‫If you want to go through me to talk with
‫tian lang, there’s nothing to talk about. ‫I don’t need to find him. ‫I need you. ‫That day when I brought you to the
‫villa, I hope that you won’t tell him. ‫If you didn’t mention
‫it, I would’ve forgotten. ‫Why can’t I tell him? ‫You’re scared he’ll
‫bring you trouble? ‫I beg you. Please
‫don’t tell him. ‫Also, I’m also asking that
‫you forget about that matter. ‫Okay. I’ll promise
‫you. I won’t tell him. ‫Thank you very much. ‫Today… I’ll treat. ‫Drink whatever you
‫want. I’ll treat you. ‫My mood is good today.
‫I’ll drink with you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sun Chang qing, do you have
‫a face cramps or something? ‫I clearly gave you such
‫an important project. ‫Ding hai, is the key for the zheng
‫tai villa hotel model unit with you? ‫The keys are right
‫here. What’s wrong? ‫I clearly gave it to sun Chang
‫qing so he can take some pictures. ‫Why is it in your hands? ‫Editor-in-chief, although I am tasked
‫to do the writing of the feature article, ‫just looking at pictures, how can I know
‫the outstanding aspects of the villa hotel? ‫That’s why, you personally
‫went there to experience it? ‫I just went there to
‫personally take a look. ‫After looking, I’ll be
‫returning the key to you. ‫How about this? I’ll finish the
‫article now and give it to you. ‫No need. I just received a
‫complaint call from zheng tai earlier. ‫They said that our employee
‫misused their model unit ‫so they want to cancel their advertisement
‫contract with us and will even sue us. ‫It was you, right? It
‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled
‫by the two of you. ‫I only went there to look after
‫office hours. I didn’t misuse it. ‫Don’t say that to me. ‫Go to zheng tai and explain. ‫If you are not able to
‫get this advertisement ‫contract back, don’t
‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! Your Majesty, I and the wives shall await your safe return. Yongcheng, put out your hands and follow your royal father. I will wait for you to return with full hunt. Let’s go. 4th Prince is running fastest. This nourishing of the Yu clan mountain ginseng is different indeed. 4th Prince has great fitness. Even a tiger will be beaten to death by him, I think. He will be showing off some great skills before His Majesty. 3rd Prince is the eldest so he’s the one who will display. He’ll be the one who be the crown prince too in the future if he pleases His Majesty. It won’t be Yongcheng’s turn. Eldest Prince, Yonghuang, died by that taboo. Noble Consort Jia mentions the crown prince matter again. You still haven’t learned your lesson after making sutra flags for Empress Xiaoxian? Oh, I was just joking. Noble Consort Chun is taking heart for no reason. Actually no matter how great our kids are, they are still no competition against Empress’s main child. In the future, once 12th Prince is an adult, he’s the one who will be above all others. Why are we discussing such nonsense and not watching hunting at this hour? Yes. Good. You are making it proud that you were my first son upon succession. You are excellent. 5th Brother, pretty good! You’re taking it easy on me, 3rd Brother. Royal Father, I will go chase that roe deer. Good. 4th Brother, you got a deer. You can’t let me have a roe? There’s no brothers in hunting. Whoever gets is whoever’s hunt. Good. I shall see who hunts most today. Handsome reward. This mare’s scent. Royal Father, there’s a wild horse there. That is a handsome great horse. Royal Father, wild hoses are fierce tempered. Don’t chase it. Useless thing. That’s a thousand mile horse. I shall tame it. Don’t follow me. Royal Father has always loved great horses. Seeing such fine horse, why wouldn’t he be tempted? But the safety of His Majesty. I will go then. You guys can back off. 3rd Brother, if you come empty handed, Royal Father won’t be happy. I won’t be empty handed. Those horses and deer are mine. Careful, Your Majesty. Careful, Royal Father. Royal Father. – Royal Father.
– Royal Father, your son came late. You are injured. I’m fine. Help me get up. Your servant Ling Yunche came to rescue late. May Your Majesty grant forgiveness. I remember you. You used to work by my side. You committed a shame. I was unfairly wronged. Get on up. Thank you. Yongqi, you blocked in front of me earlier. Why didn’t you shoot the wild horse and only stood? At my distance it was too late to pull an arrow. Also, I heard from Master before. That these beasts hurt humans only one at a time. So if the wild horse hurts me, it won’t hurt you. Spare me. Spare me. Spare me. Spare me. Your Majesty. Your Majesty, are you alright? How did this happen? How could there be an assassin? Your Majesty, are you alright? Replying to Your Majesty, the arrow wound isn’t deep, fortunately. We just need to change medicine on time and you will recover soon. I’m fine. You all stop kneeling here and leave. Tell Fu Heng to come. Yes. Your Majesty. How was the search? For now I’ve detained the officers who were present at the ranch. And I’m rushing to investigate this matter. I’ve dispatched men to areas surrounding the ranch for capture. Just that, for now, we’ve not yet found the trails of an assassin. Any signs? From my first investigation, the assassin seems to have lured you with the wild horse and hid to shoot you. It must be at least two assassins working together. One shot wrongly and the other tried another shot. But the assassins did not arrange themselves well. They kept missing so they rushed out the forest in panic. Hence, we couldn’t find their trail. The wild horse is hard to tame. How did they accomplish it? That forest is remote. Someone painted body fluid of a mare all along the trees. To lure the wild horse. Not just the wild horse, but even your horse was affected. Ling Yunche was walking Concubine Ke’s horse which is a mare. Could she have also been affected by a mare scent to go to the forest as well? I also looked into that. Ling Yunche was instructed to walk Concubine Ke’s horse. He really ended up there by accident. Your Majesty, be assured, as I shall look into this urgently. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Who’s trying to harm me? Who’s trying to harm me? Your Majesty. Your Majesty, it was a dream. The matter’s over. Does your leg ache? The medicine lost its potency. I will fetch a royal physician to change it for you. No. There’s no one I can trust by me. Even coming to Mulan ranch, some assassin tried to kill me. Your Majesty, you have loyal subjects and filial sons by your side. The assassin can’t harm you. Loyal subjects and filial sons? Loyal subjects and filial sons. Come. Where’s Fu Heng? Sir Fu Heng went out to patrol to investigation the matter. Where’s Ling Yunche? Guard Ling is outside. Alright. Send my words. Ling Yunche contributed merit in rescuing me. Promote him to 2nd rank imperial guard. To patrol my side day and night. Yes. Your Majesty. Sir Fu Heng has been investigating all day. He found no trail of the assassin. This matter is strange. How so? The wild horses appeared at the rank a few days ago. Today it appeared before you and that’s coincidential. Fu Heng looked into it. The forest is remote. Someone painted body fluid of a mare to lure the wild horse. That’s cunning. Wild horse lured you into the forest and they had hidden arrows. The arrow did not have poison. So the assassin didn’t want you dead. Or perhaps the assassin wanted to harvest your life in one arrow? You’re very right. I find it puzzling too. They shot arrow at me and it had to be close by. How is it that there’s no trail? Since I became King, though the world is at ease, there’s still always rebels. Your words, I’ve heard. When Fu Heng is back, I’ll have him look into it more. Yes. Your Majesty, I should still get the royal physician to come and change your medicine. Yongqi, you really saw it? Yes, it was 4th prince that went into the forest alone first. When I saw Royal Father again, he was already collapsed. Last night, Yongqi said this to me. And I felt uneasy. How is it so coincidential? 4th Prince was on the side just in time to rescue? Also, Fu Heng already found the corpse of the assassin. I don’t know if he’s scared that His Majesty will cast blame so he’s just pacifying him. If it’s the case, it’s unusual. Now the assassin’s corpse is found. If there is no pretext, this matter needs to be pushed down. His Majesty favors Yongcheng. If we splatter cold water on him, we will have Yongqi be accused of being jealous of his brother. I also feel that Yongqi’s position in this is awkward. 4th Prince is very delighted right now. Good that he’s delighted. When you’re delighted, you lose your place easily. Let’s go and see how this is progressing. An assassin? And Emperor was injured? Gratefully it was a severe injury. Empress Dowager, be assured. I already sent someone to relay words. To express your care of him. Just that this matter, do you want to investigate it? I can’t. Now we are amid the chaos. Emperor is most suspicious. If I ask suddenly. I will court Emperor’s upset. You only just care about him. But it’s because His Majesty is so suspicious that you’ve become estranged. He’s not my biological child so there’s always suspicion. Now I only pray for my daughters’ safety. Just regard me as an old lady who’s enjoying retirement. I hear 4th prince set a merit in rescuing. His Majesty is elated. It seems Noble Consort Jia is going up in ranks due to her son. Having a great son is her blessing. Fujia. How long has it been since Hengchuo sent letter? It’s been half a year. Empress Dowager, a letter delivered means safe. No letter also means safe. Safe is good. Just safe is good. Congratulations, Sir Ling for returning to the palace. Thank you, Eunuch Li. This isn’t like before. Now you’re deemed very highly by His Majesty. I can return alive to see you. It’s my blessing. His Majesty was startled at the Mulan ranch and the security at the palace has been raised. Sir Ling, you are His Majesty’s trusted man and you are patrolled more often and toiling more. You should get married to have someone take care of you. Eunuch Li. I can return to the palace to serve His Majesty. That’s already my blessing. I don’t dare to wish more. But His Majesty is clear on rewards and punishments. He will surely grant you a grace. Lancui. Come, let me tell you something. I need to go receive monthly stipend for my mistress. Why do you want to see me? I know Mistress Ling has lost favor and your life isn’t well. But now it’s different. Ling Yunche is back. Ling Yunche? He’s a merit-subject that rescued His Majesty, you know. I came just to tell you if Ling Yunche can put in some good words for you guys, then Mistress Ling’s favor will be returned. He’s really back? He’s even got a heavy reward. I’ve got chores to do. I’ll go now. Ling Yunche’s returned to the palace? It’s surely all certain. He’s a popular man by His Majesty now. He’s guarding His Majesty day and night without leaving. So many palace maids want to marry that man now. He’s back. He’s fine now. You go now. Yes. I’ll take my leave. Ling Yunche is back. Jin Zhong won’t try to harm him again, right? Mistress, don’t panic. Sir Ling has returned proudly and properly. Jin Zhong won’t dare to mess with him either. I hope so. Mulan autum hunt matter. Though the assassin’s dead, it is still a failure of the rank officials there. What do you deem I should do? All involved should be punished severely in order to caution the next ones there. Ling Yunche, you used to work at the ranch. What is your thought? Replying to Your Majesty. I am shallow-skilled and I was only a herder. I really don’t understand the logics here. I defer to Your Majesty’s sage arrangement. Yongzhang, what about you? I think we can’t find out the true culprit of this assassination, it’s due to too many people there and it’s hard to investigate. If you want to punish all, who will be continuing the investigation for you? Yongzhang, you are the eldest among the sons. You should’ve been the one to come to my rescue first. You came to rescue late. You were unfilial and incompetent. Secondly, afterwards, you languished. Then in order to reclaim your reputation you punished unclearly. Thirdly, you ignored my safety. You ignored my life. You committed a grave crime of unfiliality. Dissipate your anger, Royal Father. I don’t dare. Get out. I take my leave. Yongzhang asks for clemency for the ranchers. That day’s incident. Was it linked to him? I don’t dare to speak wildly. Your Majesty, to my thinking, 3rd Prince is your real son, so he wouldn’t. The father and sons of the imperial household isn’t the same. We are father and son but also master and subject. And also enemies. So I must be cautious. You are over worried. Your behold a strong reign. No one dares and can take it away. Then the Mulan ranchers. Should I punish them? If there’s an offense, it should be punished. If there’s a merit, it should be rewarded. Alright. Ling Yunche. You set a merit in rescuing me. You’re over 30 and unmarried. I’ve selected a suitable match for you. Her name is Maoqian. She came from the Sakda clan of Border Blue Banner. She’s a Mongolian lady and her father was a scribe. Now, she’s all alone. She’s got no one at home. She’s quite suitable to you. Your Majesty, I am from a lower fifth banner, a very humble background. I fear I don’t suit this Miss Maoqian. You are my imperial guard. There’s nothing unsuitable. Unless you don’t care about my marriage grant? Sir Ling, I think the joy has deluded you. Hurry and thank His Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for the grace. Greetings to Empress. You’re back. Empress, you told me to come back proud and square. I don’t dare to disappoint you. I’m glad you’re back. I have to thank you for rescuing His Majesty. That’s just my duty. Having merit but unforgetting of one’s foundation is how one can last by His Majesty’s side. His Majesty granted you a marriage for you personally and that’s a great honor to you. Empress, actually I’ve never thought of getting married. This marriage grant came as such a surprise to me. Man and woman marry when they’re grown. Getting a wife and setting up house is the start of a new life. His Majesty chose Lady Maoqian for you. She’s from a great family. You ought to treat her well. Yes. Is there anyone at your family who can hold a wedding for you? My parents both died when I was young. Jiang Yubin and Suoxn live in the capital. I will tell them to preside it for you. Thank you for your beautiful intention. Your Highness, is that 12th Prince? I heard you had a baby while I was at Mulan ranch. I congratulate you here. May you and 12th Prince have a safe and smooth life. You’re thoughtful. Greetings to Empress. You’re here too, Sir Ling. Eunuch Ling, I’ve been back many days but I hadn’t come to greet Empress. So I made this special trip here today. Eunuch Li, you’re here. His Majesty said he will dine at Yikun Palace tonight. May you prepare it. I got it. Since12th Prince was born, His Majesty’s heart is locked here. He misses here if he doesn’t come a few days. Mistress, it’s because His Majesty has to accompany Empress for dinner that he hasn’t the time to see you. Next time. There will be a next time. Sir Ling. Greetings to Consort Ling. You’re back. Yes. How are you? I’m all well. Wait. I heard you’ve been promoted. His Majesty granted you marriage too. Soon you will marry. Congratulations. Thank you, Consort Ling. Maoqian’s father is at least a minor official. Her background is much higher than mine back then. This marriage, are you happy with it? His Majesty arranged it. Of course it’s the best. It’s true. You and I are both no longer the old selves. I had thought back then I would marry you. Consort Ling, you will always choose the better. I am just an unfavored woman. What’s there that’s good? But I know. You don’t like this wife, right? You still care about me? Your Highness, you are a mistress. No one aches for me. You can’t even pacify me? What you wish, only His Majesty can accomplish. I must go to my post. Good bye. Mistress, you should not talk to Sir Ling too much. Or Eunuch Jin Zhong might find out. And make drama again. He’s about to marry but I can see he’s not happy. Chunchan, he still cares for me. But what use is that? I saw your study and I talked to your master. I know you are an excellent student. I heard lately you are learning Mongolian and Yu well too. My mother is from Yu clan. So I learned some. So it might come to use in the future. Great. There will be a Yu envoy to congratulate me on my birthday celebration. At the time, you can play good host to them for me. Yes. Your Majesty is dining at my palace often lately. I am worried about the food, whether you’re tired of all this. This ginseng chicken soup is great. Light and ungreasy but awakening. This time, at my birthday celebration, there will be Yu clan envoy coming to congratulate. Yongcheng is excellent and versed in interactions. He is very admired by the court ministers. You are a good mother. Yongcheng knows he’s the first prince upon your succession. So he’s thoughtful about all things, fearing he will shame you. Yongcheng, though he’s not old, he knows how to judge situations and he sees the big picture. He excels in literature and martial arts and very devoted. He’s an example to all the princes. He should be encouraged. I plan to promote him to Venerable Prince (Prince of 3rd rank) after my birthday celebration. I thank Your Majesty for the grace. Yongzhang got a wife and still wasn’t promoted. But 4th Prince got to be Venerable Prince? Though there’s order in age of siblings, Yongcheng displayed merit in rescuing His Majesty. So His Majesty is rewarding him. 4th Prince set a merit so he deserves whatever reward. But His Majesty — His Majesty should at least think of Yongzhang’s esteem and promote him to Venerable Prince too. But he cast Yongzhang alone. He even reprimanded him harshly a few days ago. Liyun, you better not repeat those words elsewhere ever. If others hear you, they will think Yongzhang is resenting His Majesty and jealous of his siblings. It was me who was deluded. His Majesty likes Yongcheng due to the filial devotion of rescuing him. If Yongzhang can be understand of His Majesty too, he will be a devoted son too. Your words, I will remember. Greetings to Royal Mother, to Mother, to Mother Chun. Get on up. Sit. Rongpei, go bring the autumn pear soup. Yes. Have some snack. Thank you, Royal Mother. 5th Prince is back. Then I should leave first. Bidding farewell. Yongqi, today, what did Master teach you? Today, 4th brother wasn’t there. He went to royal father’s so Master didn’t teach anything new. Master said from now on the lessons will be planned according to 4th brother’s progress. If 4th brother isn’t there, we just rehash. Yongqi, I heard your royal father granted you the four treasures of study and his arrow and bow he used to use to you. Yes. Royal Father also told me to learn diligently both art and martial. That’s because your royal father has aspirations for you. You must remember his words clearly and cultivate your learning of literature and martial arts. I shall remember. Also, now that your 4th brother is favored, you just need to sharpen yourself. And keep a low profile and evade your 4th brother. Your teaching, I shall remember. I hope Yongji can grow up quickly. So he can help me share my troubles. Your Majesty that’s rushing a bit. When I see you lately. I see you’ve thinned out and you don’t eat much for dinner. Are you too tired from caring Yongji? I’m not tired yet. But in the future it will be, I fear. How do you mean? Jiang Yubin took my pulse. He said I was two months pregnant already. Great! That’s great! Pregnant again so fast! I’m so happy. Your Majesty, do you want a prince again? I’ve got Yongqi, so this one, be it a girl or boy, either is good. Having a prince will be icing on the cake. But if it’s a princess, I can have both princess and prince. It’s great. Great! Hurry. [ Ling Manor ] Bride is here. [ Ling Manor ] Congrats. Congrats. First bow to Heaven and Earth. Stand. Second bow to high stand. Stand. Bow to each other. Stand. Escort to room. [ Royal Gift of Good Fate ] This looks like a palace items. This is granted by Empress. [ Maoqian ] Indeed since it was His Majesty’s marriage grant. Empress is giving us extra honor. We should be drinking the wedding wine, I think? I am someone blunt. From now on, you take care of the exterior, and do your job well by His Majesty. I will take care of the inside. The manor and money, I shall control. You are my wife. I will honor you. Not just honor. When people live together, it’s always either the wife yielding to the husband. Or the husband yielding to the wife. Tonight, let’s get this clear and set our rules. From now on, you listen to me. You’re always so thoughtful. Thanks to you finding so many pieces of rags from the poor families to make this blanket. Everyone says poor family’s children are easily raised. We should touch upon their luck. I hope 12th Prince. And your child in your womb have safe and smooth lives. Not like 10th Prince. Yes, news from Duke of Xianqing manor state 10th Prince has been ill since winter started. He’s coughing nonstop and royal physicians have made many trips already. Consort Shu is in a panic too. How about this? After we get this one done, let’s give it to 10th Prince first. Later, I’ll go search more cloth pieces. And make a new one for you new baby. Great. Sister. Today seems to be some special day. I couldn’t remember though. Think harder. Today is Ling Yunche’s wedding date. Look how I’ve forgotten. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of

‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled
‫by the two of you. ‫I only went there to look after
‫office hours. I didn’t misuse it. ‫Don’t say that to me. ‫Go to zheng tai and explain. ‫If you are not able to
‫get this advertisement ‫contract back, don’t
‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! Ruyi. Lately, have you heard any rumors around the palace? I haven’t. What rumors? It’s good you haven’t. Don’t listen to any nonsense. I need to make a trip outside the palace to Shanxi in the afternoon. These days I’m not in the palace, be very cautious of all. I will do so. You needn’t worry. Why does everyone evade us? It’s all because of that A’Rou incident. Now the rumors are all around the palace, as if A’Rou really turned into a ghost. A’Rou died suspiciously and today is A’Rou’s “wuqi”. (T/N the 35th day after death, observed in ritual mourning) Everyone says on the wuqi, the soul returns, coming back as a ghost. Suoxin, stop the nonsense. Yes. Let’s go back to our palace. Back to palace. Suoxin, a ghost!
[ Yikun Palace ] Go collect your debt elsewhere! A’Rou, go find who you really need to find! A’Ruo! Come to me, Sanbao, A’Ruo! [ Yikun Palace ] Noble Consort, do you want to go visit Consort Xian? I heard she woke up and saw ghost fires all over the chamber. She was startled and now she’s invited the exorcist. They are performing the ritual now. Was the ghost fire real? I heard everyone in Yikun Palace saw it. Yesterday was A’Rou’s wuqi. Can’t be that she came to seek avenge? What nonsense is that? A’Rou’s coffin was strange and that’s ominous enough. Now this ghost fire talk. But everyone saw it, so it can’t be fake. By the way, Sister Chun. I heard His Majesty granted marriage to a Yilali clanswoman to First Prince. That’s a great blessing of adding a relative to a relative. For both of us. I imagine once Fourth Prince grows up, he will have a great match as well. Fourth Prince is still so little. This wedding wine will be a long wait. Sister, you’re trying to ask me for a cup already? Noble Consort. Noble — Congratulations to Fourth Prince. I feel tired. I will go back first. Careful, Mistress. Mistress, are you alright? Tell me, do you think A’Rou really became a fierce ghost? Yikun Palace seems to say so. Mistress, Imperial Physician Qi sent over some mugwort wine. You are to drink it daily to warm your body. There are also some high-quality mugwort leaves you can use for bathing and making a mugwort pillow. These are all for ridding chill and warming the body. Hurry and pour a cup of mugwort wine for Mistress to let her have a try. I will have Xingxuan draw the bath water for you to have a good, deep soak. And I will make a mugwort pillow for you so you can sleep more soundly. Mistress. Mistress. It’s me, Mistress. Why did A’Rou seek me out? A’Rou, why did she come to me? Mistress, none of us saw A’Rou. She came to see me, so of course you couldn’t see her. Shuangxi went to find the shaman. I heard nothing happened to Yikun Palace last night. It means the shaman is competent. Why didn’t she go see Consort Xian? Why didn’t she go find the Empress? Why me? Her Highness the Empress is the head of the six palaces. She’s got a strong vigor there so the ghosts and monsters don’t dare to go to her. Even ghosts bully the soft and stay away from the tough? It was the Empress who didn’t save her then. Why didn’t she go see Empress? Why me of all people? Mistress, don’t say anymore. It’s all fine. I know. It was because she blames me for making her shoulder the blame for the cinnabar. She must hate me so much. Moxin, go find the shaman. Get talisman papers. We’ll repress her! Yes. I’ll go get them now. Moxin, don’t go! Don’t go! Xingxuan, you go. Yes. Don’t be scared. Mistress, I heard Xianfu Palace had a ghost. Yikun Palace has a shaman repressing it and it’s fine now. Xianfu Palace too? Who was startled? Who else? It was Her Highness Noble Consort Hui of course. I heard Her Highness the Noble Consort kept screaming that A’Rou was chasing her. But in the whole palace, no one else saw A’Rou’s ghost. Everyone in the palace is talking, why would A’Rou chase Noble Consort? Can’t be that it was Noble Consort Hui that killed her? Alright. I got it. You can go. Yes. You heard it all? I heard. Noble Consort Hui got startled. Hope she won’t scream out any problems. Noble Consort Hui, if she were to really scream out something, it should be the Empress who should be scared first. From Noble Consort’s pulse shape,
[ Xianfu Palace ] it’s only a bit of confusion from being startled. There’s no other symptom. Then she really got possessed? Doesn’t look like it. I’ll prescribe something for now to soothe her. You have Her Highness take it first. And also remember that Her Highness the Noble Consort has chilly feet. She must continue to take mugwort baths and wine. I got it. Alright. Mistress, eat more. You’ve grown thinner. Don’t come after me. Don’t come. Have some beef. Come on. Don’t come to me. Mistress, please eat some food. I beg you. Don’t come after me. Don’t come to me. Eat. A’Rou. Mistress, there’s no A’Rou. Eat up. Mistress. A’Rou. Come, come. Mistress. Yikun Palace You seem to be in a pretty good mood today. The shaman danced and drove away the ghost fires. No ghost fires and I’m in a good mood. I’m in a good mood so my color is good too. Then let’s go out and stroll a bit today. Noble Consort Hui is ill. We should go visit her in Xianfu Palace. Alright. So many rumors rampant all over the palace making everyone panic. What is this impropriety? The palace staff love to gossip when they’re bored without chores. Your Highness the Empress needn’t pay heed to them. If His Majesty returns and hears of all this nonsense, he will blame me for not managing strictly enough. – Zhao Yitai.
– Present. Go send my word. If anyone dares to mention there’s ghost in Xianfu Palace again, I will have them flogged thirty times no matter who it is! I shall follow the order. Your Highness the Empress since Noble Consort is ill, why don’t we visit her for our sisterhood’s sake? Sulian, go fetch Jingse. Noble Consort looked after before so she should go visit. Yes. What is all this? Royal Mother, I’m scared. You don’t need to stay here anymore. Lianxin, take the Princess out. Yes. Princess, let’s go play outside. Careful, Your Highness. What is all this fuss? Mistress. Mistress? It’s me. Hurry and get up. Her Highness the Empress is here. I’ll help you get up. Her Highness is here? I’ll help you get up. Your Highness. Alright, you don’t need to get up. Lie down and rest.. Look at how sick you are. Has the Royal Physician come by to check? He’s already stopped by. Moxin. May you take a look, Your Highness the Empress and Your Highness Imperial Concubine Jia. What is this? Mistress keeps seeing A’Rou appearing at Xianfu Palace, so she has everyone who comes through take a look. In order to evade anyone getting something filthy attached to them and coming in here. – Absurd.
– The ghost isn’t here yet and she’s startled herself thoroughly. – Take it down.
– No, why don’t you believe me? Your Highness, A’Rou comes to find me every day. Sometimes she just stands right there by the dining table. Sometimes she is right at my bedside! Shut that mouth. You’re a noble consort and you’re putting this unsightly sight in the palace. Consort Xian is startled too. But she only hired a shaman to do an exorcism. But it’s you with this ominous aura here. Don’t dare to say that. If you keep talking nonsense, A’Rou will come again. I already asked about it. Xianfu Palace, aside from you, no one even saw A’Rou. Only you’re talking nonsense. No. Come, Princess. You can’t catch her. Try. You can’t catch her. I don’t want to play anymore. What is this “eagle catches chicken” game? I like the trick you did with the snakes last time, Shuangxi. Where are the snakes now? – I’ll take you to go play with the snakes then.
– Alright. Mother Xian. You’re cordial, Princess. Xingxuan, where’s Noble Consort? Replying to Your Highness Consort Xian, my mistress is with Her Highness the Empress and Her Highness Imperial Concubine Jia conversing. I had thought Noble Consort might have the same illness that befell me so I wanted to visit her. This is Buddhist scripture personally transcribed by Anhua Hall’s master monk. When you read it a bit daily, you feel some solace. Hand it to Noble Consort for me. Thank you, Your Highness Consort Xian. My mistress might be able to be assured. Shuangxi can tame snakes? I’ll go back and have Sanbao look into it. Your Highness. A’Rou. Why does she come to me so often? Is it because you’re so high in vigor and blessing that she’s scared to go to you and only comes to me? I am suffering your share, aren’t I? What nonsense are you saying? How am I talking nonsense? Your Highness, the incident framing Consort Xian. You know it all. The fire in the Cold Palace. The substance in her food to affect her hands and feet. You were involved in all these though! Even when Consort Xian got poisoned with white arsenic, was that your doing too? Your Highness? Noble Consort. I had regard for our sisterhood. So I never sought you out for the crazed nonsense you would say once in a while. But if you dare to slander me, I shall never forgive you! Your Highness, you can’t abandon me! Those things, I clearly did them for you! Imperial Concubine Jia. Noble Consort, are you delusional from the illness or have you gone truly mad? Such nonsense and you can still spew more out? You’ve been a Noble Consort for six years, the entire survival and glory of the Gao clan all gets cut off by you just like this? Don’t you find it regrettable? Your Highness the Empress, the Noble Consort’s not in her proper wit. We needn’t pay attention to her. I will not take her seriously of course. You get yourself awake. Your Highness, don’t go! Your Highness! – Mistress.
– Don’t go. Handle this whole hideous mess and clear this stuff out! I did it all for you. All for you, Your Highness! A’Rou comes to me every day! She shouldered my offense and she shouldered yours! Your Highness the Empress, don’t go! Your Highness the Empress! It’s only spring but it’s already so hot. His Majesty will return soon and Her Highness the Empress is preparing for it. It’s only you who has the leisure to stroll with me. I am accompanying you by Her Highness the Empress’ intention. Imperial Concubine Jia, your slap was good. Noble Consort Hui is talking nonsense. She does need to clear things up. She wants to slander who? Don’t worry about it. She can’t slander anyone. My mistress is so virtuous. She can only be frustrated internally since she can’t ruin the dignity of the central palace. It’s fortunate you were there. What am I scared of? I already slapped her. Just that we will need to find a way to stuff that crazy back-biting mouth of Noble Consort Hui. You’re right. I am worried too. What if Noble Consort Hui goes mad and she doesn’t even care about the Gao clan, and when His Majesty hears those words, what will happen? Then we will need to find a way to make it so that no one believes what she says. How can it be so no one believes her? She’s already confused. If she could just go mad altogether that would be great. Then whatever slandering she made up there would be that much more reason for no one to believe her. But how do we achieve that? Sister Moxin. Internal Affairs Bureau sent this calming incense. Go back now. – Is Mistress asleep?
– Not yet. Calming incense was delivered. I’ll go burn it for her so she’s better. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com – Where is Mistress?
– She’s in the shrine. Your Highness, His Majesty will come for sure. Your Highness the Empress, the Emperor has returned to the palace. – He’s coming to Changchun Palace now. You should hurry and prepare your welcome.
– Really? It’s true indeed. He didn’t go elsewhere at all. Only to us. Hurry. Greetings to Your Majesty. You’re waiting for me? I have a few words I’d like to say to you. Li Yu, tell the Empress I will have dinner with her, so she needn’t wait now. And bring Shuangxi who serves Noble Consort Hui to me. Yes. Shuangxi, His Majesty summons you. Me? Why me? Why would he summon me? Guards! Take him. I didn’t do anything. Why would His Majesty capture me? I didn’t do anything! Your Majesty! Beat him hard. Your Majesty, Shuangxi already confessed. He was the one who did the poisonous snakes in the Cold Palace. And it was also Noble Consort Hui who bribed Eunuch Ma to put a hand in Consort Xian’s food. And the white arsenic, did they say that? Not yet. Yuhu, go to punishment bureau and watch Shuangxi personally. You must ask clearly and thoroughly without leaving anything out. Yes. Mistress, it’s me. It’s me. What’s wrong? Shuangxi was taken by Eunuch Jinbao and never returned. I had someone go ask, and they said Shuangxi stole something. Shuangxi got taken away? Shuangxi knows a lot about us. If this doesn’t go well, we’ll need Lord Gao to find a way to pull Shuangxi out, no matter how. Why did they take Shuangxi? Hasn’t His Majesty returned? His Majesty is already back. He’s at Changchun Palace. Then I will go beg him to release Shuangxi. Mistresss, it’s dark outside. Then A’Rou will come again. I won’t go yet. Go tomorrow. Noble Consort is really that ill? Illness of the heart is not the same as illness of the body. It’s harder to recover. I don’t believe in talk of ghosts. It’s usually people who feel guilty that scare themselves. I just want to know it’s a ghost in both places. Why is it that Consort Xian was fine after a few days. But for Noble Consort, she’s bedridden. I don’t know either. I went to visit her and she seemed confused. I couldn’t calm her. May Your Majesty ease your worrying. She will get better. I will go visit her again. If state affairs are keeping Your Majesty busy, you needn’t go to Xianfu Palace personally. So that Your Majesty doesn’t get sick. After she’s better, I will let Your Majesty know. Next month, all the divisions will come to court. Harem affairs are many. You don’t need to go see Noble Consort. Let her recover by herself. Yes. The Yu clan will come to court as well at the time. Imperial Concubine Jia bore my first son after ascension. Her merit is high, and I plan to promote her to Consort. While her maiden clan is here, to promote her then, Your Majesty is honoring her clan. Your Highness Noble Consort Hui, what brings you here? Hurry and announce me. I want to see His Majesty. Your Highness the Noble Consort, if it’s over Shuangxi’s matter, then please back go for now. Shuangxi’s matter, I fear even your plea won’t work. What precious thing did he steal? Even my words are useless now? Replying to Your Highness, Shuangxi swiped a jade tag used by the late Emperor. Last night Jin Bao brought him in, and before we could flog him much, he already confessed everything. What jade? How come I don’t know about it? Your Highness the Noble Consort is ill, so naturally you don’t need to know anything, or else it might harm your health. His Majesty also said nothing is linked to you, so you should go back and rest for now. Then Shuangxi confessed. What did he confess? What he did. That’s what he confessed. Your Highness the Noble Consort! – Mistress.
– Hurry and help her up. – Mistress?
– Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I have done wrong! I know I have done wrong! Your Majesty. I have done wrong, Your Majesty. I have done wrong, Your Majesty! I know I have done wrong now! Your Majesty, I have done wrong! Please forgive me. Forgive me. Your Highness the Noble Consort! – Mistress. Mistress!
– Send for the Royal Physician! – Mistress.
– Your Highness the Noble Consort! Mistress, wake up! Mistress! Her Highness the Noble Consort Hui is not well. From now on, if anyone helps Noble Consort Hui leave Xianfu Palace, His Majesty will not forgive you. Yes. Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I heard Noble Consort Hui passed out suddenly. You won’t go see her? I don’t want to see her. Is this apricot nectar and lotus seed soup? Lotus seeds dissipate heat. With Your Majesty’s mood now, it’s suitable to drink this. Whatever needed to be spat out, Shuangxi has already done it. This is the confession. Take a look. Shuangxi wasn’t aware about the snake incident in Jingyang Palace. As for the snakes in the Cold Palace, he has admitted to doing it. Your Majesty, don’t you find it strange? He committed many wrongdoings. Why didn’t he admit to this then? Perhaps it’s because Shuangxi has done too many misdeeds for the top people that he can’t even recall everything. A’Rou has killed herself and the Gao clan woman is ill from terror. With this kind of guilt, who else could it be other than her? I think that the Gao woman is very ruthless in doing things but she’s not that resourceful and intelligent. Your Majesty, this Gao person relies on the Empress. Ruyi, the Empress has been my official wife for many years. I don’t believe and I don’t dare to believe that that she’s not related to this. Sit. Moreover, everything doesn’t point to the Empress yet. If I were to suddenly investigate her now, there will be unrest in the harem. How will you punish Noble Consort Hui then? I have always thought that the Gao woman was just a capricious person and flighty. I didn’t expect that she would do such things in the background. I’m very disappointed with her. I will imprison her in Xianfu Palace till she dies. But Lord Gao Bin hasn’t committed any serious wrongdoings. Furthermore, he’s also a very useful person to me in the Imperial court. I can’t, because of Lady Gao’s lapses, be angry with her father. So as seen by the outsiders, I won’t punish her. She is also my only Noble Consort. Your Majesty, by punishing the Gao woman this way, it’s very hard for me to put down my hatred of being framed. Ruyi, Lady Gao is sick now. It’s better to die than to live. Later on, I won’t let the Imperial Physician treat her again. By the way, it will be the end of the one month’s confinement for Imperial Concubine Yu soon. Tomorrow I will get someone to hand Yongqi over to you to take care of him. Thank you, Your Majesty. Mistress, you have suffered for a long time. Noble Consort Hui will finally get what she deserves. You did well. What did I do? We weren’t happy with A’Ruo’s death. We merely took advantage of the situation and used some phosphorus powder. If Noble Consort hadn’t harmed the children of Imperial Concubine Yu and Imperial Concubine Mei and forced A’Ruo to confess to the crimes, she wouldn’t have felt guilty. Jiang Yubin replaced her Artemisia annua (mugwort, therapeutic herb) with Artemisia absinthium. (T/N major hallucinogenic component of absinthe) She kept having illusions. She went crazy from being scared. She deserves to be punished for her sins. Noble Consort Hui should be punished for her sins but I’m not satisfied. I wasn’t the only one who was harmed by her. Mistress, don’t be anxious. His Majesty doesn’t want to touch Her Highness the Empress, but the truth will finally be out one day. Let’s go to sleep now. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Clan Jin’s woman is an example for good character. Modest and prudent, garnering a royal decree from the Empress Dowager to promote her to Consort Jia. Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager for your grace. Long live the Emperor. Rise. You got promoted to Consort Jia. Are you happy? With Your Majesty’s pampering, I’m very happy. Among my concubines, you are the most informed and interesting. If I don’t think of you, who else would I think of then? I just want to surround you, encompass you, tag along with you and attract you. You have already given birth to a prince and you are still so playful. Mistress, slow down. You were praying with the Her Highness the Empress and everyone just now. You must be tired. Let’s go back and rest. I’m not tired. Let’s go to Kunning Palace to see Ling Yunche. Okay. We greet Your Highness Consort Xian and wish you heath! Guard Ling, please wait. My Lady, do you have any instructions? I have already done what you entrusted to me. Although Wei Yanwan is still working at the flower house but she only needs to deliver flowers to the palace. She won’t need to suffer the hardship of planting and farming. Thank you, Your Highness for your kindness. Look at your smile. Are you really that happy that she has changed her mind? She didn’t leave willingly. I don’t want to blame her and make her sad. Since you like her that much, after a few years, you can request His Majesty to approve your marriage with her. A loving couple will bring good prospects. Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of
‫the bride or the groom? ‫The groom. You? ‫A friend of the bride. ‫We actually met before.
‫You may have forgotten. ‫Next time, let’s

‫hedonistic, rich son just ‫depending on his parents?
‫What’s good about that? ‫Ha. ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Stupid, I should have
‫asked him for more money. ‫Aunty, I’m here. ‫Sorry. Aunty, I have to deal with
‫some things today so I got delayed. ‫Are you hungry? I
‫can cook something. ‫Qing ling, if you are really sincere
‫in calling me aunty, then great. ‫I am asking you to immediately leave our
‫house today and severe ties with ah hai. ‫Aunty, don’t be angry. ‫I’m sorry. I was

‫Don’t make me leave me, okay? ‫Qing ling, don’t blame

‫to do the writing of the feature article, ‫just looking at pictures, how can I know

‫went there to experience it? ‫I just went there to
‫personally take a look. ‫After looking, I’ll be
‫returning the key to you. ‫How about this? I’ll finish the
‫article now and give it to you. ‫No need. I just received a
‫complaint call from zheng tai earlier. ‫They said that our employee
‫misused their model unit ‫so they want to cancel their advertisement

‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled

‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! A’Ruo, I gave you face yesterday and let you stayed at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Now that Consort Xian and I are here, if you have anything to say, speak now. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was I who framed Consort Xian. I know about this. It was I who stole the cinnabar and harmed the children and Consort Xian. I bribed the three junior eunuchs too. A’Ruo, what can you do alone? His Majesty and I have doubts about this. Certain things were not done by you. Who’s the mastermind who instructed you? Fine then, if you don’t want to talk. It’s just that murdering royal heirs is a high crime punishable by nine generations. (T/N Nine familial exterminations, all but children under a set age, plus the criminal) If you want to take responsibility for everything, I won’t stop you. Consort Xian asked you a question. Think carefully about whether you want to answer her or not. I’m going to ask you regarding another matter. When Consort Xian was at the Cold Palace, who added the arsenic? Your Majesty, I didn’t do that. It really wasn’t me. Who was it then? Xinyan, speak. To reply t Your Majesty, I serve her daily. I’m not aware of what she does, but I know that Mistress hates Her Highness Consort Xian very much. Especially when she found out that Your Majesty’s handkerchief was a gift from Her Highness Consort Xian. At that time, Mistress said that she wanted to get rid of Her Highness Consort Xian. Mistress, don’t blame me. I can only tell the truth now. As this moment, you should admit to what you have done. you should admit to what you have done. You won’t be able to escape. A’Ruo, your maid has already spoken. Are you still not going to confess about the incident involving Consort Xian at the Cold Palace? In order to get rid of her, what else did you do? Yes, the fire at the Cold Palace and the snake incident, those were done by me. You sure confess easily. Do you really hate me that much? Consort Xian, I really hate you very much. I am certainly smart and sharp and I did all things for you. But you pushed me down in all matters. You clearly knew that His Majesty liked me and you insisted on marrying me off. Isn’t it good for you too that His Majesty doted on me? You will have additional help too. Why must you cut off my chance of success? I liked you? All these years and how I treated you, you still didn’t get it? Your Majesty used to like me in the past. That’s why you looked down to me in Yanxi Palace and took me in as your concubine. A’Rou, you truly deluded yourself too much. – Tell that to Consort Xian.
– Your Majesty. You courted shame upon yourself after betraying your mistress for glory! Speak! All these years, Your Majesty has never been kind towards me. Every time, I am just kneeling on the ground on a thin sheet. Every night I served him in bed was like that. His Majesty has never touched me. Consort Xian, you think you had a tough time in the Cold Palace? Did you think I had a good life out there? During the day, I’m a Mistress and received His Majesty’s graces. But when I’m alone with His Majesty, I’m just a maid with a lowly status. Even so, to others, I received His Majesty’s grace, so I had no choice but to endure their laughing and jealousy. Consort Xian, this is all your fault as to how His Majesty treated me! How could I not hate you? If you are not happy today, let me tell you, you brought it upon yourself. Your Majesty, when I was at Yanxi Palace, you praised me for being intelligent. When I was released from the Office of Careful Punishment, you kept me by your side. But you kept treating me this way. It has been many years and I really don’t get it. Since this is the case, why didn’t you just kill me instead? If I didn’t let you stay with me for the past years, I wonder who would have killed you. And who would have confessed to framing Consort Xian and returned her innocence. So, it was still because of Consort Xian. Your Majesty, I had been sincere towards you. Sincere? You were such a schemer. How could I not treat you that way? Your Majesty, did you think that I schemed against you? Aren’t those in the harem the same too? Why must I be humiliated by Your Majesty instead? I know that many of them are schemers. But for someone like you who is so malicious and betrayed your Mistress for glory, you are the first one I have seen. I’m going to ask you again. Who instigated you and who else is there? No one instigated me. I did everything on my own. Consort Xian, wait for me in the study. I will join you later. The rest of you shall withdraw. Yes. A’Rou…Consort Xian isn’t here. You can stay calm and tell me who else is behind this. Your Majesty. I interrogated A’Ruo for a long time. I feared that she wouldn’t confess in front of you. But she still said that she did everything alone. I don’t believe that she could do all that alone. I know you wouldn’t believe what she said. I don’t believe it too. But I can’t suspect everyone in the harem and interrogate them individually. If I do this, I will create an uproar in the harem. Thus, I hope that you will understand, A’Ruo has confessed. There is no one else. Ruyi, I’m the Emperor of the dynasty up front and the Master of the harem after that. I hope you will understand. I can understand Your Majesty’s efforts and attentiveness. Your Majesty and I are so honest with each other without any barriers. To be in this relationship with Your Majesty, I feel at ease. Ruyi, I really hope that, starting from now, we won’t be estranged again. Your Majesty, Li Yu investigated that the two younger brothers of A’Ruo are being detained by Lord Gao. That day at the Welcoming Banquet for spring, I said that the money for Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi came from Imperial Concubine Shen. Upon investigating further, the money came from Noble Consort Hui. It is just that it went through A’Ruo’s hands. For the past years, I have been seeing A’Ruo going in and coming out from the Empress’ palace. Noble Consort has always listened to the Empress too. Whether there is the Empress involved in this…. Your Majesty, even if you suspect Her Highness the Empress, you also shouldn’t… I know. I know that she’s my official wife and Empress, and she also gave birth to Yonglian and Jingse. She is also a very smart woman. I hope that this has nothing to do with her. Until now, A’Ruo still hasn’t implicated Her Highness the Empress but it’s hard to predict later. We need to shut her up forever then. Turn her into a mute and punish her for what she did to Consort Xian. Yes. What about Noble Consort Hui then? It’s not time to take action on her yet. You can leave. Yes. This bowl of soup is from His Majesty. Once you are done drinking it, you won’t be able to speak nonsense again. You won’t be able to implicate others either. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Mistress, Eunuch Li is here. Respectfully greeting both mistresses. Reporting to Mistress Xian, His Majesty said A’Rou is your servant so she’s to be handled by you, as a warning to all servants in the palace not to betray their masters. Where is she? She’s kneeling in the garden. Just that, A’Rou went into a craze cursing you. His Majesty ordered medicine to quiet her down used on her so she can’t speak ever again. – She’s a mute?
– Yes. A’Rou will never again be able to curse you. Then I can’t ask anything else of her either. I understand. This is His Majesty’s intention. It’s true though. It’s never been the case that you can find out the truth just by asking. Mistress Xian is wise. You and I have not faced each other like this for a long time as servant and mistress and had a good conversation. Sanbao. – I’m here.
– Bring a chair. Yes. I was going to ask you at first exactly who ordered you to frame me. And I wanted to ask you whether you got what you wanted? It’s just that right now, I can’t ask anything of you with you like this. You — You can’t talk anymore? You’re staring at me like that. Do you mean to resent me? You resent me for cutting off your chance and ruining your being an Imperial Concubine? Give me the hand. How pretty are your nails. Yes. Grow your nails and wear nail guards, living a life where the others serve you. Why would you think of the times you served me? It’s just that you cut off your own future completely. You can’t blame me. You’ve only got yourself to blame. This is to eat one’s own fruit. (T/N idiom – suffering the consequences of your own actions) A’Rou, you grew up alongside me. I regarded you as family. I had wanted to grant you an ordinary peaceful life. But you had to force me to this, and forced yourself to the cliff too. You know in the harem no matter who harms me, I wouldn’t be heart-ached like this. I just never thought ever that the one who stabbed my heart, stroke after stroke, would be you. You all saw it. Once disloyal, a hundred times useless. You all do your work well and I will treat you well naturally. Your servant will solemnly follow your instruction, not daring to think twice. Great then. Sanbao, send A’Rou to the Cold Palace. Yes. [ Cold Palace ] Mistress. The items you asked for. I’ve brought them. This is honeysuckle water with added ginger juice. When you soak your hands in this water, it treats your frostbite. Then every year, it won’t come back again. Mistress. The Cold Palace reports A’Rou hung herself to death. Does His Majesty know? He knows. His Majesty said the official word will be she died from illness and she can just be cremated. By the way, Mistress, Noble Lady Hai’s due date is around this time. How come there is no movement? Sanbao, go to Yanxi Palace and ask about it. Yes. Push! Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian. Which royal physicians are serving her? Imperial Physicians Xu and Li from Imperial Medical Bureau. But it’s usually Physician Jiang who treats her. Where is he? Yu Clansman sent a messenger that he contracted a cold at the carriage house. Physician Jiang went to treat him. Mistress Xian, delivery room blood is ominous and you mustn’t go in. Mistress Xian! Yanxi Palace is giving birth and we’re burning her? Who picked this hour? They just had to ask us to send her off in the middle of the night? Bear it. I feel anxious. Physician Jiang isn’t here. Go tell His Majesty to send Physician Qi. – Yes.
– Hurry. Mistress. Slowly, Your Majesty. Don’t rush. Qi Ru will be here soon. Noble Lady Hai and the baby shall be well and healthy. They’ve already lit the main hall. Maybe you should go there first and await the good news. Mistress. Harder. It’s born. Your Majesty, it’s born. Among my children, this one cries the loudest. It’s born. It’s a prince! It’s a prince, Hailan. It’s a prince, Hailan. Mistress. We’ve got a prince. Change the water. Hurry. Hailan. Hailan? – Mistress.
– What’s wrong? Your Highness Consort Xian, Noble Lady Hai took labor medicine but her blood won’t stop. I fear — Find a way then! Hurry and get medicine to stop bleeding. Royal Physician, hurry and bring medicine to stop bleeding! Noble Lady Hai’s health is in dire condition. If you can’t stop her bleeding, I will seek you for blame. Got that? Yes. Mistress, Physician Qi is here. Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian. Spare formalities, Physician Qi. Hailan’s bleeding nonstop and she’s passed out. May you preserve her. May Your Highness Consort Xian be at ease. His Majesty already instructed me so. – This way.
– Yes. Noble Lady. The pulse is slippery and without strength. Your Highness Consort Xian, her body’s vitality energy is attacking her heart. It’s due to the labor-speeding medicine activating too strongly, pushing the baby to come out quickly. Plus Noble Lady Hai, before her pregnancy, she had insufficient blood and vitality. The priority right now is to stop the bleeding. This is a Dingkun Pellet. We need her to hold it in her mouth. (T/N to fix her female energy) – Alright.
– Thank you. Let Noble Lady Hai suck it. The bleeding stopped. Your Highness Consort Xian, don’t worry. Her bleeding has been controlled. We just need her to take Dingkun Pellet daily on time and the medicine for bleeding prevention and all should be well. Thank you, Royal Physician Qi for your grace of rescue. Then I will take my leave. Give me the handkerchief. Mistress, Noble Lady Hai is fine now. You’ve been riled up all night and you should get some rest now. No worry. I will be with her. You go watch the Fifth Prince. Don’t step a foot away from him. Yes. Your Highness Consort Xian, how’s the situation inside? His Majesty is here and he’s been on standby outside all along. Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Hailan gave birth to a prince. Great. Great. This is my fifth son. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Reward! Reward the entire Yanxi Palace! You may rise. Thank you, Your Majesty. This child does seem to two measures larger than an average one. It must have been hard on Noble Lady Hai. Look at that little face. So round but so smooth. So alluring. This child has an upright look and his cry is sonorous. He must be a blessed child. Come, momo. – Look after Fifth Prince diligently.
– Yes. You all may leave. Yes. I’ve already made up my mind. In the Tale of King Mu, “fine jade is the standard of jade.” (T/N fiction about historical 5th Zhou Dynasty king) This “qi” (fine jade) word signifies rare quality. I plan to grant Fifth Prince the name “Yongqi”, what say you? Yongqi? Good name. Hailan bore this prince by risking her life. Thankfully Physician Qi rushed here in time to help her bleeding stop. Thank you, Your Majesty. Yes, this Noble Lady Hai bore a good son for me to put me in such pleasant state. I plan to promote her to Imperial Concubine. With the title of Yu (pleasant). What do you think? I thank Your Majesty greatly on behalf of Hailan. I want to beg Your Majesty for another grace. Speak. Imperial Concubine Yu loves her son dearly. May Your Majesty not send the Fifth Prince to Xiefang Hall and allow Imperial Concubine Yu to keep him by her side. I plan to do that as well. Imperial Concubine Yu comes from a humble background. I plan to have you raise Yongqi. Hence Imperial Concubine Yu can see him all the time. Imperial Concubine Yu and I bow to Your Majesty’s generous grace. Hailan and I will surely look after the Fifth Prince well. We will not disappoint Your Majesty’s aspiration. Alright. Rise now. – Li Yu.
– Present. The royal physicians that tended to her tonight. Cast them all out of the palace. Never employ them again and sentence them as incompetent. I understand. Mistress, slower. Mistress. It’s almost daylight. You shouldn’t stay vigilant here anymore. Sanbao, I feel anxious. His Majesty sent Physician Xu and Li out of the palace. You follow them and see who they interact with before their departure from the palace. I will go immediately. Go. Yes. Mistress Xian. How is it? Mistress Xian, don’t worry. My mistress is fine. She’s just too weak, so she’s asleep. Mistress Xian, you should return to your palace to rest too. I’m fine. I’ll accompany Hailan. You go. Yes. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Last night the wind was strong. Imperial Concubine Yu’s screaming was heard all over Qixiang Palace. I thought she labored with much hardship, so she and the son must have perished. Preserved or not, it doesn’t matter. A woman with an enlarged stomach during pregnancy, who doesn’t have stretch marks on her stomach after that? She will lose her husband’s lust for her. And Imperial Concubine Yu lost blood after labor, if she were to bear another, it would be difficult. This Imperial Concubine Yu was lucky to bear a boy. But you’re the one who bore the first prince after His Majesty’s ascension to the throne regardless. The Fifth Prince can’t compare to Fourth Prince. It’s just a waste of our effort beforehand, that’s all. Our arrangement of making the mother clan messenger ill on fake pretense to move away Jiang Yubin and putting Physician Xu and company in to deliver the baby. Those physicians put too much effort into it this time. Elder Sister Zhenshu, Physician Xu is here. Mistress, I will go first. Gugu. I am grateful you agreed to treat my heart palpitations. Please take this treatment fee first. I will come fetch the medicine when I have a spare moment. What treatment fee? I’ve even lost my job in the palace. It’s fine. You’ve toiled half your life in the palace. You can go and enjoy your retirement after leaving the palace and that’s good too. That’s true. As long as my family are all well. Don’t you worry about that. You are a good person with lots of luck. You will be blessed with lots of grandchildren. He took it? He did. But Physician Xu and company won’t be able to stay in the palace. Physicians that the palace won’t keep won’t be much use outside. Yes. I understand. Fifth Prince is so cute. He’s smiling. Mistress Xian, he’s smiling. Quiet. He’s sleeping. Mistress Xian, look how rosy he looks. Yes. Little mouth. Cutie, smile. Smile. – So good.
– Mistress. Take him to the nursemaid. Careful. Mistress. I saw Physician Xu. He met with Gugu Zhenshu who serves Imperial Concubine Jia. Imperial Concubine Jia? Why did Physician Xu meet Zhenshu? I heard Zhenshu has heart palpitation issues. Soon Physician Xu will have a look. But there are no allowances for royal physicians to treat palace maids in the palace. Since he is willing to treat her, it must be due to Imperial Concubine Jia’s arrangement. Could this be linked to Imperial Concubine Jia? Imperial Concubine Jia usually aligns with the Empress. While with Noble Consort, they have a surface harmony that is not true harmony. If this is really linked to Imperial Concubine Jia, she’s not easy one either. Then should we stop those physicians and report Imperial Concubine Jia to His Majesty? No need. Imperial Concubine Yu’s prenatal medicine. We’ve not yet found out who put a hand into it still. It made her fetus too large. And the royal physician had her drink labor-inducing medicine, but it was understandable. His Majesty, if he were to cast a crime on them, it would only be a crime of mis-prescribing medicine. We still can’t just let Physician Xu and company off the hook. Imperial Concubine Jia is always in collaboration with the Empress. If this is really linked to Imperial Concubine Jia, then could it be that Her Highness the Empress also had a part? No matter who we suspect, just a bit of suspicion without any evidence is useless. Your Highness the Empress, His Majesty is here. – Greetings to Your Majesty.
– Rise. Your Majesty, your court session ended late this morning. I believe you must have been held up by the previous matters. We discussed the legal case against the government in Shanxi. The punishment needed to be strict in order to stop bribery. Your Majesty, have this bowl of refreshing soup. When I woke up this morning and heard that Imperial Concubine Yu and her son were fine, it was a happy occasion. I thought that Your Majesty must be very happy and didn’t sleep well in the night. Hence, I instructed the kitchen to cook a pot of purple-ginseng pigeon soup as a tonic to refresh Your Majesty. Empress, you have worked hard. Sit. Your Majesty, other than the happy news regarding Imperial Concubine Yu and her child, I heard about something else. Empress, tell me. I heard that when A’Ruo’s coffin was being incinerated, it created a strange vision and caused the people in the palace to panic. Although Imperial Concubine Yu had a smooth delivery, due to the trauma of birth, her body is weak. I’m worried whether it was because last night was ominous, and it affected the blessings in the palace. Continue with what you were saying. A’Ruo deserved to die for her countless crimes and wicked deeds. It’s just that it has caused the people in the palace to feel uneasy and created a lot of debates about Consort Xian. I can’t turn a blind eye to this. Empress, when I was young, I thought about an Empress who is the head of the six palaces, I imagined what it would be like. Perhaps it’s like the Goddess of Mercy sitting on the lotus flower pad. She believes in compassion for the world. She doesn’t hear and talk. She doesn’t do evil deeds and lie. She handles everything wisely in her heart. Empress, what do you think? I… Although I’m an Empress, I’m also a mortal with seven emotions. The immortal realm that you are talking about, I’m not good enough for that. Empress, you are right. A person may be human, but even if the realm is unattainable, one can still yearn for it. I understand what Your Majesty means. Evil words and accusations shouldn’t come out from my mouth. The palace forbids evil words and accusations. The Empress should suppress the rumors, or else rumors will become a common practice in the palace and cause chaos. When I go back, I will instruct the palace staff not to spread any rumors. As for Imperial Concubine Yu and her child, I will go to Anhua Hall to pray for Fifth Prince’s health and safety. The Fifth Prince is good and I’m fond of the Fourth Prince, but Empress, we should still have an official son. Your Majesty, I have served you for many years and I have handled many things, but Your Majesty has always been on my mind. I will definitely give birth to an official son for Your Majesty to fulfill your wish. Fine. [ Hall of Mental Cultivation ] Your Highness, please get into the carriage. No need. I would like to take a walk. Yes. When I was listening to your conversation with His Majesty, I was tired on your behalf. Ever since Consort Xian came out from the Cold Palace and Yonglian died early, His Majesty has treated me differently. Seeing him having sons with others, and my son died young, I couldn’t be jealous and angry. I could only smile. How could I not be tired? Your Highness’ virtue and hard work, His Majesty will understand. Will His Majesty understand? I greatly fear that our current marital relationship, it only displays admiration on the outer surface. But if one day, there is only a mutual affection on the outer surface, I can only stick like a leech and not let go. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of
‫the bride or the groom? ‫The groom. You? ‫A friend of the bride. ‫We actually met before.
‫You may have forgotten. ‫Next time, let’s
‫have dinner together? ‫Sure. ‫The main heir of
‫zheng tai is here. ‫Hello, mister. Mister, hello. ‫Isn’t he just a
‫hedonistic, rich son just ‫depending on his parents?
‫What’s good about that? ‫Ha. ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Stupid, I should have
‫asked him for more money. ‫Aunty, I’m here. ‫Sorry. Aunty, I have to deal with
‫some things today so I got delayed. ‫Are you hungry? I
‫can cook something. ‫Qing ling, if you are really sincere
‫in calling me aunty, then great. ‫I am asking you to immediately leave our
‫house today and severe ties with ah hai. ‫Aunty, don’t be angry. ‫I’m sorry. I was
‫wrong. Forgive me. ‫Besides apologizing, what

‫Don’t make me leave me, okay? ‫Qing ling, don’t blame
‫me for being harsh. ‫You’re just an orphan. ‫Let’s not talk about education,

‫it, I would’ve forgotten. ‫Why can’t I tell him? ‫You’re scared he’ll
‫bring you trouble? ‫I beg you. Please

‫I’ll drink with you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sun Chang qing, do you have
‫a face cramps or something? ‫I clearly gave you such
‫an important project. ‫Ding hai, is the key for the zheng
‫tai villa hotel model unit with you? ‫The keys are right
‫here. What’s wrong? ‫I clearly gave it to sun Chang
‫qing so he can take some pictures. ‫Why is it in your hands? ‫Editor-in-chief, although I am tasked
‫to do the writing of the feature article, ‫just looking at pictures, how can I know
‫the outstanding aspects of the villa hotel? ‫That’s why, you personally
‫went there to experience it? ‫I just went there to
‫personally take a look. ‫After looking, I’ll be
‫returning the key to you. ‫How about this? I’ll finish the
‫article now and give it to you. ‫No need. I just received a
‫complaint call from zheng tai earlier. ‫They said that our employee
‫misused their model unit ‫so they want to cancel their advertisement
‫contract with us and will even sue us. ‫It was you, right? It
‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled
‫by the two of you. ‫I only went there to look after
‫office hours. I didn’t misuse it. ‫Don’t say that to me. ‫Go to zheng tai and explain. ‫If you are not able to
‫get this advertisement ‫contract back, don’t
‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! Your Majesty. I have served you in bed for three years… but Your Majesty has never touched me. It’s been so long, so allow me to serve you just once. You wanted to become my woman so badly. Pleading and begging, and I allowed it. And I have given you a title dignified enough. From now on, you are a person of Forbidden City in life. And you’re a ghost of Forbidden City once dead. You can’t ever escape. You know why I haven’t touched you all these years? I am dim-witted. I keep you by my side and give you favors. It’s because I have use in keeping you. But don’t you forget. You are forever the slave of Consort Xian. You’re really my slave. Before others and behind others, don’t lose your place. I, your slave, understand this. (T/N response of a maidservant, not member of the harem) Who slapped you? Your Majesty favors me. Imperial Concubine Jia is angry. She slapped me. All slaves get slapped by the mistresses. If you want to enjoy this kind of royal favor, you’ll have to take this abuse with a content heart. I beg Your Majesty to give me a clear answer. Why does Your Majesty treat me like this? Do you remember the title I gave you? “Shen”. It means for you to be prudent. You should think about the good deal I offer you. If I didn’t favor you, who knows what would’ve happened to you. Does Your Majesty think that I framed Consort Xian? So you’re tormenting me to avenge Consort Xian’s anger? Avenge her anger? Consort Xian will come seek that from you in time. Today I want to ask you clearly. Who instructed you that day? No one instructed me. It was Consort Xian who committed the crime. I see that’s how it is. Then I shall sleep first. Your Majesty, it’s time. Mistress, you must be fatigue from serving in bed last night. I’ve prepared your morning tea for you to rest. Serving in bed? I am tired indeed. I am already Imperial Concubine Shen that His Majesty personally titled! Why is it that everything in here looks to belong to merely a noble lady? Why is the Internal Affairs Department such a sloth? They said Empress and Emperor want to be frugal and simple and you haven’t had your coronation yet so the decor was not done. What Imperial Concubine title? He just wanted me to have an empty title anyway! Mistress. You can’t do this, Mistress! Mistress. That was from the day you were named concubine! You can’t do that. If others find out, what will they say about you? I am Imperial Concubine Shen, they’re my things! I can break if I want. Who can do what to me? Mistress. Mistress. You can’t. Can’t! This was given to you personally by the Emperor when you became a noble lady. You can’t break that. If you’re really so very angry, just hit me instead. You can’t harm you and His Majesty’s keepsake! Mistress. Mistress. Mistress. His Majesty’s keepsake. Does he care about me even? I’m just a toy. Let others throw me around. I’ve served Imperial Concubine Shen all these years. I’ve discovered her temperament is getting more and more fussy. She will ask me often too if His Majesty really favors her. She is already so favored so what more does she want? His Majesty favors her. But yesterday at the family banquet he kept saying “mistress and servant”, obviously belittling Imperial Concubine Shen. Yes. His Majesty also said Consort Xian was framed before. You go back first. If there’s any movement at Imperial Concubine Shen’s, don’t forget to report it to me right away. Yes. Will His Majesty dig up what we did that year? Now with Consort Xian out, His Majesty will have to find an excuse to say she was framed or else others won’t be pacified. Push comes to shove, we’ll throw A’Rou out. Saying she sold out her mistress for her own gain. But Imperial Concubine Shen, wouldn’t she cough us up? Her father works for my father. If we keep him as our hostage, she won’t dare to talk. Even if she didn’t do it, she has to swallow it still. Since you left the Cold Palace Mistress Yi, your mind’s been at ease and your liver’s suppression has dissipated. Your rheumatism seems much better as well. That’s good. Suoxin, the bracelet. Jiang Yubin, can you find someone trustworthy outside the palace and clear away all the basil seeds inside. This way I can wear it afterwards and I can spare Her Highness the Empress’ suspicion. Yes. Mistress, Gugu Yuhu is here. Invite her in. Servant Yuhu wishes for your good health, Mistress Xian. Mistress Xian, I come today over the matter of Cold Palace guardsman Ling Yunche’s transfer. Kunning Palace and Yuanming Garden are both needing a guard. What is your opinion on it? Kunning Palace is where the newlywed Emperor and Empress live. It’s been a place of worship of shaman since the reign of Emperor Shunzi. It’s a peaceful and nice place to be. Then I will make the arrangements. However, even without your plea to find favor for Ling Yunche, His Majesty will reward him still. Why? Because when you went into Cold Palace, His Majesty instructed me back then, to find Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao, and place them in charge of protecting your life. So naturally Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao, are both with merits, especially Ling Yunche. He saved your life multiple times during unexpected events. I am very grateful of it as well. His Majesty has been concerned about you all along. Or else Noble Lady Hai sneaking in Royal Physician Jiang in wouldn’t be so easily done or unnoticed. It’s because His Majesty, through Qi Ru, made arrangements secretly. It seems then His Majesty cared about you all along. This painting was left in Lang Shining’s care for a long time. Now I finally got it back. I heard Noble Consort Hui didn’t like this painting, so Your Majesty ended up losing it. Though I lost the painting, I didn’t lose the person. Still in my heart. I keep thinking of that Qingying of then. Qingying used to live more freely back then. While Ruyi toiled her days in the Cold Palace. Doing woman’s work. Making three hundred and sixty-two knots. Embroidered one hundred and twelve handkerchiefs. I already knew when I was in the Cold Palace that Your Majesty wouldn’t forget me. But I didn’t know Your Majesty knew these things too. To know them in such detail. Those knots and handkerchiefs you personally made. Each and every one of them went past my eyes before being sent out of palace for sale. I saw them and I knew you could bear through. I knew you didn’t despair. Those trumpet creeper vines. Can they blossom in Cold Palace? Did they soothe you a bit? They bloomed every year and bloomed grandly. Your Majesty, you arranged people to protect my life. Yuhu told you? Trumpet creeper vines are hardy and they can treat wounds. I know you suffered in the Cold Palace. So I hoped you could be like the trumpet creeper vines and survive. And I knew you liked green plum blossoms. So I gifted you green plum powder. I used it today. This light scent of green plum is most suitable to you. You once told me no matter how expensive it’s still just material external to our body. And nothing can compare to those hands that hold yours and won’t let go. From now on, I will hold your hand forever. You just need to lean on me. You’re all new so I’ll explain the rules. Kunning’s tasks aren’t really big. But they aren’t really small either. This is where generations of our emperors marry upon their ascension. It’s an honorable place where yin and yang meet. But since the time of Emperor Shunzi, this place became a place to worship God. Every now and then Her Highness the Empress will bring the various mistresses of the harem, and come pray to God here. The work here is pretty idle. But you have to be on alert. No laziness is allowed. – Did you all hear?
– Heard. Good then. Time for rotation. You go to the rooms and rest. Dismissed! I told you go snap some loose twigs for New Year’s prayer at Kunning Palace. But you dared to be so lazy and only got these few? Gugu, the branches are too high and I can’t even reach them, so I could only get a few. Gugu, I wasn’t being lazy. You dare to talk back? Since you got into the floral bureau, you’re always so unfocused. What? You thought you were the mistress here? Look at you, whore! Gugu, I don’t dare anymore. If you don’t get enough branches today, don’t even think to eat dinner! Wipe it. Don’t cry anymore. Brother Yunche. I don’t have the face to see you. I am working at the floral house. Everyone bullies me. Let’s do this. Those branches, I’ll help you pick them. You heard everything? Brother Yunche. You’re not at Cold Palace anymore? Since Her Highness Consort Xian came out of the Cold Palace, she gave me a hand. Now, I work at Kunning Palace. Really? That’s so great. Your hand. Who even regards my hands as hands? Brother Yunche, I was wrong. I was bad. No one is good to me. Only you are sincere to me. Let’s go. When others look for plum blossoms through the snow, they look for red plum blossoms. But Mistress insists on white plum blossoms. White plum blossoms are among white snow. Where’s the beauty in that? White snow and red plum blossoms have their simple but passionate beauty. But white plum blossoms hiding among snow and deciphered only by the floral scent, I find that such a worldly beauty. Only through careful inspection, you can see how rare. Your Highness Consort Xian’s words touch my heart. Imperial Concubine Shu. If Your Highness Consort Xian doesn’t mind, you can call my by my real name, Yihuan.
[ Hexi ] And I can call you “Sister” too, and not be so distant like noble this and concubine that like others. Yihuan is honest and blunt. Where did you come from, Sister? I just had a meal with His Majesty. His Majesty loves plum blossom broth with his meals. I hadn’t thought I would come into the Imperial garden, and by such coincidence you are here to enjoy the plum blossoms. In the middle of cold winter, only plum blossoms bloom so it’s easy coincidence. That’s true too. I have had an easy conversation with you in today’s chance meeting. If one day there’s time, may you come visit in Chuxiu Palace. Alright. I take my leave, Sister. Yihuan seems cold but she’s someone with artistic flair. So fragrant. Weren’t you supposed to be at Kunning Palace? What are you doing here? Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian. Kunning Palace has an annual offering and every day we use pine branches and plum blossoms as bouquets in vases. So I came to pick these red plum blossoms. I heard Your Highness’ voice earlier, so I decided to wait here to greet you and wish you health. You waited here on purpose. I don’t think it’s as simple as a greeting. Well that, Your Highness Consort Xian saw me through again. Go ahead and tell me. There’s a palace maid in the floral room named Wei Yanwan. She came to see me. You’ve just got a bit of prospect and someone came looking for you? No, no. I didn’t mean that. It’s just that– She’s that person who had you so drunk and down, right? Your Highness is very right. Though Yanwan abandoned me then to seek her own path. Later, I don’t know why some things didn’t fare well, she got demoted to the floral room and that work is hard. I ran into her by accident and found out then she’s been suffering. She whined about her suffering and you forgot all about how she abandoned you? I am not weak-hearted. I’m just pitying her seeing her like that. When I ran into her that day she kept crying. She also said she knew she wronged me. So she didn’t have the face to come find me. She didn’t have the face but still found you anyway, and told you so many things to make your heart ache. So you agreed something to her and you came to beg me? May Your Highness Consort Xian transfer her out of the floral room. Find some other chore. I don’t for wish lofty things, just that she’s not suffering too much or getting bullied. But right now, the floral house needs to send flowers to all the palaces and they need people. Maybe in the spring I can think of something to help her transfer to a better place. Thank you for Your Highness’ grace. Brother Yunche, come. – What’s this?
– Sweet potato. I already made a request to Consort Xian. She said that she will find a new assignment for you in early spring. – Really?
– Would it untrue? This is great. You better go back now. I’m working. I’m leaving then. Go now. Take care. It’s just after the new year. How did Gui Duo die? According to Gao Bin, it was during reinforcing the forest for flood prevention that Gui Duo died. He was smashed by a rolling boulder from the mountain. It’s very pitiful. Fortunately, he left behind a book about the water control. It’s a pity for such a talent to pass away. By the way, get Li Yu to prepare one thousand liang in silver for his family as funeral expenses. Yes. How’s the investigation regarding the injustice done to Consort Xian? There will be results soon. When you are done with the investigation, certain people can be punished too. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Your Majesty, today is the banquet for spring. Royal Mother gifted me a carved jade figure of a boy. Royal Mother is painstakingly wishing for you and I to have a legitimate child soon. Today, I have prepared a box of pearls from Donghai for you. (T/N the “East Sea”, the natural border of the mainland, aka East China Sea) I look forward to the radiance of these pearls to shine in the palace. Pearls are precious, especially since it’s an entire box. When I think about the toil those who harvested them went through, I don’t dare to indulge. I know that you don’t like luxurious things but no matter how expensive the pearls are, they can’t be compared to my gesture. Thank you, Your Majesty. Li Yu, give these Welcoming-of-Spring gifts to the ladies. Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty. Everyone, be seated. Your Majesty, you are biased. You gave Her Highness a box of them, whereas we only get one pearl. He cherishes Her Highness the Empress indeed. All of us received one Donghai pearl. Imperial Concubine Shen, what’s the red item in your box? Imperial Concubine Shen, do you recognize my gift? Your Majesty, this is cinnabar. Your Majesty, cinnabar is poisonous. Why did you give this to me? Did you make a mistake? Cinnabar is poisonous. It will turn into mercury when in contact with hot water. This is the most appropriate for you. Yuhu, tell everyone about this. Yes. This servant, based on His Majesty’s order, investigated the events where the babies of Imperial Concubine Yi and Imperial Concubine Mei were harmed. Xiao Lüzi who testified it was Her Highness Consort Xian back then has already died. Xiao Lüzi’s brother, Xiao Fuzi, who used to serve Her Highness Consort Xian, he cuts grass on Mount Weng. Xiao Anzi’s been assigned to the Imperial tomb, doing harsh work. I sent people to their hometowns to investigate. They saw Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi living a luxurious life. When they were interrogated, it was found that the money came from Imperial Concubine Shen. Your Majesty, I didn’t do anything like that. I didn’t have any contacts and dealings with Xiao Lüzi and Xiao Anzi. I didn’t know anything about their families. When I asked Xiao Anzi, I found out that Consort Xian and he discussed about the cinnabar. He was also instructed by Imperial Concubine Shen to do that. Your Majesty, I’m being falsely accused. I had long heard that Xiao Anzi became a mute while getting interrogated in the Office of Careful Punishment and couldn’t speak again. How could he have said that I directed him? A’Ruo, I sent someone to check the records at the Office of Careful Punishment. There were no records of you and your attendants entering or leaving the department. You just said that you had no contacts and dealings with Xiao Anzi. How did you know that he couldn’t speak anymore? Your Majesty, I… I merely heard about it. Who did you hear it from? Tell us. I merely heard about it. As to who said that, I have forgotten a long time ago. I’m not as good in remembering the details when compared to Consort Xian. You can take out the records from the Office of Careful Punishment to check it. Of course, I will investigate. One who has been falsely accused, will definitely want to prove her innocence. Imperial Concubine Shen, since you personally witnessed how Consort Xian harmed Imperial Concubine Yi and Imperial Concubine Mei, you would naturally remember everything clearly and wouldn’t have forgotten. I want to you to repeat what happened that year. You must not miss a single word. That year… That year… Your Majesty, it was too scary what happened then. I dare not think about it and dare not remember it! I only remember that Consort Xian added cinnabar to the charcoal pot and fish. As it was insignificant, I have already forgotten the details. Lies! That year, you told me the details on how Consort Xian harmed Imperial Concubine Yi’s and my babies. Insignificant? Unclear? Why can’t you describe the details today? Your Majesty, she’s full of lies. There is definitely a problem with her. Your Majesty, you must not pardon her. I’m investigating this today so that she can explain. Your Majesty, when Sulian brought people to check Yanxi Palace, it was A’ruo who stopped them from searching, which led to suspicion. Later on, under Consort Xian’s drawers in her chamber, they discovered cinnabar stained with water as proof of Consort Xian’s crime. I have been thinking. If Consort Xian did that, why would she placed the cinnabar in such an obvious place? Consort Xian wasn’t aware of this. Just exactly who can so easily come into Consort Xian’s chamber and leave the cinnabar there for such a long time so that Consort Xian didn’t even discover it despite being wet! It can only be Consort Xian’s maids. Other than Imperial Concubine Shen, no one else could have done it. That year, she was absolutely sure and now, she’s nervous. Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shen is rather suspicious. Could it be possible that when Consort Xian was in the Cold Palace and kept being harmed, it was also because Imperial Concubine Shen wanted to kill her to shut her up? Imperial Concubine Jia, you… Your Majesty, it wasn’t me. It wasn’t me. I’m being falsely accused, Your Majesty. Imperial Concubine Shen, you reported about my two children during that year. You are now suspected of trying to harm Consort Xian at the Cold Palace. If you don’t explain clearly today, I will let you try the taste of cinnabar. Think carefully. Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I’m being falsely accused. Please spare my life. Let me think again. Your Majesty, I’m being framed. Your Majesty, A’Ruo is not that capable of getting that much cinnabar, and bribing so many people to set up a trap to harm me. What I would like to find out is who the mastermind is? Look at what you did. I didn’t expect you to be so malicious. You didn’t even take your family’s safety into consideration and did so many major crimes. You really deserve to die! I really didn’t imagine that… it’s you who harmed my child! – Despicable woman…
– Enough. Take Imperial Concubine Shen to the Hall of Mental Cultivation’s side chamber. Keep watch on her. Don’t let her die. Yes. Let me go. Your Majesty, I’m being framed. Your Majesty. Let me go. I’m really falsely accused. Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I’m being falsely accused. I shouldn’t have talked about this at today’s banquet for spring. When I saw the Empress Dowager yearning for a son to succeed me, I thought about unknown deaths of the children of Imperial Concubine Yi and Imperial Concubine Mei. I needed to investigate. Your Majesty and I are parents. How could you not be sad? This must be thoroughly investigated. It’s just that, it’s getting late. If there are any other matters, Your Majesty, please wait until tomorrow to investigate again. I’m going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation now. Respectfully sending off Your Majesty. Such a major ruckus happened today. It seems His Majesty already had suspicions. A lot of people won’t be able to sleep well tonight. It has been many years since the incident. It’s time to have a conclusion. You Highness the Empress, Her Highness Noble Consort Hui is here. – Let her in.
– Yes. Your Highness. It’s late. Why are you here? I’m scared. What if A’Ruo confesses that we… Confesses to what? She is obviously the one who was malicious and harmed the children of the Emperor and Consort Xian, together with others. Yes, that’s right. That’s what happened. But, Your Highness, what if A’Ruo reveals about us scheming to harm Consort Xian at the Cold Palace? Of course, we shouldn’t let her implicate us. Imperial Concubine Shen’s mother has passed away but she still has two brothers. Guiduo is dead. I’ve already told my father to keep A’Rou’s two brothers as hostages. You did well. About the incident at the Cold Palace, if A’Ruo wants to admit it, she has to do it on her own. Of course. It’s A’Ruo who hates Consort Xian the most. Other than her, no one else would have a hand in that. What are you still worried about then? Your Highness… Enough, it’s late. Go back and rest early. Yes. Sulian, see her out. Yes. Change into these clothes. A maid who’s guilty of crimes is not fit to wear that! No…No, these are not my clothes! Eunuch Li Yu, I want to see His Majesty to tell him that I’m being falsely accused. Mistress. Reflect carefully on what you did and who you did it to. When you see His Majesty, report to him on everything. – Eunuch Li Yu. Eunuch Li Yu!
– Mistress! Mistress! – I’m being falsely accused. I want to see His Majesty!
– Mistress! – Your Majesty.
– Mistress. Mistress, you must not be clueless again. Her Highness the Empress and the Noble Consort Hui wanted me to tell you this. Both your younger brothers, Suochuolun ‘s only surviving male heirs, they will die under your hands. Noble Consort. Mistress. Now that everything is out, think about who you want to protect. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of

‫asked him for more money. ‫Aunty, I’m here. ‫Sorry. Aunty, I have to deal with
‫some things today so I got delayed. ‫Are you hungry? I
‫can cook something. ‫Qing ling, if you are really sincere
‫in calling me aunty, then great. ‫I am asking you to immediately leave our
‫house today and severe ties with ah hai. ‫Aunty, don’t be angry. ‫I’m sorry. I was
‫wrong. Forgive me. ‫Besides apologizing, what
‫else are you capable of? ‫Do you think you’re
‫worthy to be ah hai’s wife? ‫I only have one son. I spent a
‫whole lifetime of hard work on him. ‫I cannot let ah hai get
‫destroyed in your hands. ‫That won’t happen,
‫aunty. I will surely work ‫hard to be ah hai’s
‫motivation, a virtuous wife. ‫Aunty, please believe me.
‫Don’t make me leave me, okay? ‫Qing ling, don’t blame
‫me for being harsh. ‫You’re just an orphan. ‫Let’s not talk about education,
‫work, or family background. ‫You don’t even have a
‫basic thing like a parent. ‫What can you use to be
‫responsible to ah hai? ‫Our ah hai is destined to
‫do great things. Qing ling, ‫treat it as me begging you. I’m
‫begging you not to drag him down. Okay? ‫Aunty, I’m sorry,
‫I can’t promise you. ‫Aunty, I love him. ‫You… ‫It’s fine. As time
‫passes by, aunty will ‫surely understand that
‫I sincerely love ah hai. ‫Qing ling, you can do this. ‫Aunty will
‫definitely accept you. ‫May everyone welcome this new
‫couple with a big round of applause! ‫Let us give them the
‫most wonderful blessings. ‫Oh, no. So she is the girlfriend
‫of the heir of zheng tai. ‫No wonder she just left that
‫day without entering the villa. ‫Please come again. ‫Hey. ‫Today’s your
‫ex-girlfriend’s wedding. ‫Okay. I’ll treat you to a drink. ‫I want to ask you for a favor. ‫If you want to go through me to talk with
‫tian lang, there’s nothing to talk about. ‫I don’t need to find him. ‫I need you. ‫That day when I brought you to the
‫villa, I hope that you won’t tell him. ‫If you didn’t mention
‫it, I would’ve forgotten. ‫Why can’t I tell him? ‫You’re scared he’ll
‫bring you trouble? ‫I beg you. Please
‫don’t tell him. ‫Also, I’m also asking that
‫you forget about that matter. ‫Okay. I’ll promise
‫you. I won’t tell him. ‫Thank you very much. ‫Today… I’ll treat. ‫Drink whatever you
‫want. I’ll treat you. ‫My mood is good today.
‫I’ll drink with you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sun Chang qing, do you have
‫a face cramps or something? ‫I clearly gave you such
‫an important project. ‫Ding hai, is the key for the zheng
‫tai villa hotel model unit with you? ‫The keys are right
‫here. What’s wrong? ‫I clearly gave it to sun Chang
‫qing so he can take some pictures. ‫Why is it in your hands? ‫Editor-in-chief, although I am tasked
‫to do the writing of the feature article, ‫just looking at pictures, how can I know
‫the outstanding aspects of the villa hotel? ‫That’s why, you personally
‫went there to experience it? ‫I just went there to
‫personally take a look. ‫After looking, I’ll be
‫returning the key to you. ‫How about this? I’ll finish the
‫article now and give it to you. ‫No need. I just received a
‫complaint call from zheng tai earlier. ‫They said that our employee
‫misused their model unit ‫so they want to cancel their advertisement
‫contract with us and will even sue us. ‫It was you, right? It
‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled
‫by the two of you. ‫I only went there to look after
‫office hours. I didn’t misuse it. ‫Don’t say that to me. ‫Go to zheng tai and explain. ‫If you are not able to
‫get this advertisement ‫contract back, don’t
‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are

‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! You’re back. Your Majesty, you talk as though I’ve just taken a stroll to the Imperial Garden for fresh air and come back. I say that, to mean as it’s though you’ve always been by my side. As though you’ve never left. Come. I know you suffered. Your Majesty knew I was compromised but you still sent me to the Cold Palace. I had only reigned for a few years. I had Empress Dowager and the consorts. They all have clan powers. I had also the old subjects who collude with them. And the pivotal point is it concerned two royal heirs. Every incident and witness pointed to you. If I insisted in keeping you by my side and doing nothing, both the Imperial court and harem would have all come after me. So Your Majesty could only deal with me that way. Even though immediately you had suspicions I had been treated unfairly, Your Majesty could only do so much… for the stability of the Imperial court and harem. I was the one who could be sacrificed. Ruyi. I am the Emperor. I rule the world. But I still face struggles and frustrations, again and again. Royal Mother told me that I must abandon you for the time being in order to stop those who wanted to harm you. Then afterwards? Your Majesty saw it personally. Afterwards, I realized… keeping you by my side is the safest. Ruyi. I was truly afraid that you would be burned to death, that you would come to your end by arsenic. So no matter what, I wanted you to come back. To be by my side. Your hand’s frostbite, I already saw it. I prepared the best frostbite medicine in the palace. I will apply it on you. Sit. This isn’t something you should do. But I want to. Thank you, Your Majesty. In order to welcome you. I prepared a special gift. Li Yu. Look at it. How can there be green plum blossoms in this season? It has some powder scent. It’s not entirely green plum blossom scent. The lovely image of a beautiful woman behind the screen brightly adorning herself with makeup at dawn. Your Majesty has made new makeup for me? I know you like green plum blossoms, so I had this powder made especially just for you. Green plum blossom powder? Your Highness Consort Xian, the recipe to make this powder, His Majesty researched it personally. For this, His Majesty put in all his effort and time. Finally he settled on using yellow lead, white sandalwood and borneol herb, all very expensive. Added the white lotus that is most ripe for the season, plus white hollyhock, mountain crab-apple, and dunouxiang. Such detailed research. (T/N sap of terebinth tree, Pistacia terebinthus) Then combining with pearl dust and egg white powder. Then he asked the palace maid with greatest skills to pick the ripest and fullest green plum blossoms and added the powder carefully into the blossoms, using needle and thread to sew it to shut and steaming them in a closed floral house. Finally let it rest in the agate box for many months in order to finally achieve this fragrance and luster and to allow your complexion to be pearly-white. Your Highness, His Majesty has always felt anxious about your beauty paling in the Cold Palace. He wishes for your blush to come back soon. Suoxin. Why are you crying? My Mistress finally got out. Yes. Why haven’t you put on your velvet flower? I will wear it later. Your Majesty used the example of Ming Xizhong’s (T/N Temple name of the fifteenth Ming ruler, Emperor Tianqi) method for making Empress Yi’an’s jade hairpin face powder. Just that dunouxiang is rare and very expensive. To use that for facial powder I am happy but also surprised. If the others were to find out, I wonder what would happen to me. No matter how expensive an ingredient, it’s no match to how I feel. Just remember how I feel and the rest, don’t worry. Thank you for Your Majesty’s kind intention. Frankly, to me, the most precious item is not this. Instead it’s that you won’t let go of my hand at the end of a cliff. My hand is always here. Don’t worry. Ruyi, starting from today, I will never let you fall off a cliff again. Trust me. Your Majesty, I would like to seek a favor from you. Speak. Ling Yunche from the Cold Palace saved my life. I wish Your Majesty to transfer him out to a better place. That’s a given. I will have Yuhu take care of it. I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Ling Yunche. Elder Sister. Elder Sister. Elder Sister. Elder Sister. Hailan. You are finally back. I was about to visit you. How is the child? Let’s sit and talk. Sister, you’ve grown a lot thinner. You have suffered. It’s my fault for being incompetent. I didn’t even know you were poisoned with arsenic. It’s already in the past. I’m fine now. Who did all those things? The Empress, A’Ruo or Noble Consort Hui? This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Yexin, go out first. Yes. I did it to myself. What? If one wants to leave Cold Palace, one must put in effort. I heard you got poisoned by cinnabar. Has it harmed your unborn baby? Did you find out who did it? If I were to say that it’s the same as yours, would you believe it? You did it yourself? For me? Jiang Yubin helped you? Jiang Yubin didn’t tell me. You weren’t afraid you would hurt your fetus? Sister, I was worried about you and you were worried about me too. So I told Jiang Yubin not to say. It’s not his fault. But with Jiang Yubin checking the amount, I was spared any major harm. And also, in the end you and I had a spiritual connection and released you from your bondage. Elder Sister, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Sister, if it’s convenient for you, I would like to show you something. Okay. How did this happen? I ate a lot and the stomach grew bigger too. Ever since I was in the sixth month, these would appear on my body. Everything’s fine. There are many good medicines in the Imperial hospital. This is definitely curable. It’s useless. I’ve asked the midwives. They said that certain pregnant women will get this after pregnancy. This can’t be cured. Even if I give birth to the child, these will still remain on my body. Think about it. If I were to serve His Majesty in bed, what will he think when he sees it? After you give birth, let’s find a way. The palace is only a place based on looks. Sister, I know my favor has come to an end. My status isn’t high. Once I give birth, I may not be able to keep it by me to raise it. At that time, it will be sent to Xiefang Hall or bequeathed to others. Why don’t I leave it with you and let it become your child? Become my child? Currently, Imperial Concubine Jia’s Fourth Prince is His Majesty’s favorite. Imperial Concubine Chun will never return First Prince to you. But you can’t not have your own child. But you only managed to get pregnant after so much trouble. And you’re having such a difficult pregnancy. Sister, we are only blood apart. Must we nitpick about this? Don’t worry. I will do all my utmost if the child is with me. If I were to worry about you, who else would I not worry about? Sister, you are finally back. We will be together again and never separate. Put on your clothes now. Don’t catch a cold. [ Cining Palace ] May Your Highness Consort Xian enjoy good health. Your Highness Consort Xian, Empress Dowager has tea prepared and waiting for you. This way, please. May the Empress Dowager enjoy good health. You may rise. I’ve had a superior quality tea prepared for you. Be seated. The Empress Dowager knew I would visit for sure? If you didn’t visit, you wouldn’t be able to try my fine tea. You’re kept yourself very well, Empress Dowager. It seems residing peacefully in the inner palace has been good. It’s excellent that you could survive too. His Majesty didn’t dote on you for nothing and I didn’t protect you for nothing either. You are finally out. Empress Dowager, you let me persist with my life for the one day to come. Thus, I came here specially to pay my respects today. May the Empress Dowager be healthy forever. You considered well. You knew after a fire you couldn’t stay in the Cold Palace anymore, so you took a risk yourself. Now it’s all over the palace. Even His Majesty is suspicious. Was it Noble Consort or First Class Attendant Shen who gave you the white arsenic? Even the Empress can’t avoid the suspicion. If you didn’t do that on your own, would you be so lucky as to have someone to save you? Empress Dowager, you are wise. No wonder His Majesty suspects them. They have done it before. They just wouldn’t let you go over and over again. But now that you’re out, from now on, what do you plan to do? I had no one to lean on. Previously, the Empress Dowager was merciful and fulfilled the promise gained while I was drifting in that palace. From now on, I continue to ask the Empress Dowager to hold sympathy. The Empress comes from the high nobility. The Fuca Clan is a Manchu banner and well-connected with old subjects. She is also frugal and a great example. Noble Consort Hui’s father is greatly valued by His Majesty in the royal court. But I never liked having only one pot of flowers in the palace blooming grandly. A hundred pots of flowers all blooming alluringly is true success. If you understand this, then you can preserve yourself well. I understand it. Drink tea. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Today’s bath water was drawn with peach branches and willow leaves, then boiled with lilac flowers and pearl powder. It has the effect of getting rid of evil and darkness. His Majesty especially instructed this to wash away your bad luck arising from the Cold Palace. Very good, Qingying. You walked out of the Cold Palace on your own. You are indeed a woman of Ula-Nara. But a Ula-Nara woman wouldn’t halt her steps. You must continue to reclaim all that belongs to you. All that belongs to you. Mistress! Mistress, did you have a bad dream again? What bad dream? Stop talking nonsense! Even since Consort Xian came out from the Cold Palace, you haven’t been able to sleep soundly. That whore. She wouldn’t stay put in the Cold Palace. She came out to make trouble! Whore. I can’t stand her! I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid of anything! I’m not afraid. Mistress. May Your Highness the Empress enjoy good health. Rise and be seated. Thank you, Your Highness the Empress. We all have not seen Consort Xian in quite some time. We’ve had some misunderstanding before and Consort Xian’s had to be confined for a few years. But now Consort Xian is back again to accompany us. We must get along well. I thank Your Highness the Empress for your concern. Consort Xian, Noble Lady Shen used to serve you. She’s now favored by His Majesty. The both of you must get along with each other. – Yes.
– Yes. Though Noble Lady Shen used to serve Consort Xian, but it’s different now. With His Majesty’s favor on her side, she’s either reprimanding her servants in her quarters, or whining loudly about this or that. She really does whatever she wants at her whim. Your Highness Imperial Concubine Jia must be joking. I’ve served His Majesty in bed a lot. How many days do I really have to throw tantrums? Your Highness shouldn’t hear anything wrong now. Enough. We’re in broad daylight here. Don’t keep mentioning serving in bed now. Consort Xian, we’ve got Imperial Concubine Shu and First Attendant Qing. They are new here. If you have the time, do chat with them. Your attire today is very understated. The bracelet I gifted to you and Noble Consort Hui back then. Why aren’t you wearing it? The lock is loose. I sent it in to get it fixed. Once it’s repaired, you should wear it every day too. It’s a symbol of our sisterhood from the old manor. Of course. Her Highness the Empress’ gracious kindness… I don’t dare to forget it for a day. Consort Xian’s only just returned so she should rest up. In a few days at our family banquet, I will celebrate grandly with you. as a token of congratulations. Thank you, Your Highness the Empress. Elder Sister, if you are free, visit me at my palace. Come and see if I am watching over Yonghuang diligently or not. Yonghuang has been living in your palace. He’s already your child now. How could you not be diligent? Because you were having a tough time, that’s why Yonghuang stayed in my palace. Now that you are out, I should return him to you. And Imperial Concubine Jia has Yongcheng too. I have Yongzhang and you’d have Yonghuang, and it’s good if we’re all equal. You are so thoughtful. It’s just that I just came out from the Cold Palace. My health is still weak. I fear that I wouldn’t be able to take good care of Yonghuang. I think he should still remain with you. I will not let you know for sure and look after Yonghuang well. But Elder Sister, you must nurse your health. That Noble Lady Shen’s been seducing His Majesty for many years and she’s not afraid of anyone. You have got to put her in her place to cough up the anger from before. I wanted to have you move to Yikun Palace to live with me. But you’ve got a big belly and it’s not convenient, so I’ll forget it. If you give birth to a prince and His Majesty promotes your status, then you can move to a proper palace. I don’t want to. That was where you lived. It’s still the same as before you left. I didn’t even move anything. Just regard it as keeping a memory. You’re full of strange old thoughts. And that child of yours, who knows what kind of strange personality it will have once born. It’s kicking me. It knows you’re talking ill. Sister, you have been back for a few days. His Majesty never stayed overnight in Yikun Palace or has he flipped your tag? We’ve been distant for many years and our emotional knots haven’t been untied. I don’t want to be that close. That’s true. Your framing hasn’t been justified yet. And His Majesty must feel awkward. Tomorrow is the Lidong family banquet. (T/N “Start of Winter”, 19th of the 24 solar terms) Everyone in the palace will see you. At the time, let’s see how Empress and Noble Lady Shen show themselves then. It’s so warm to have a hand heater in the winter. Today is our “Start of Winter” family banquet. Royal Mother has the chills and she’s reluctant to leave Cining Palace. Thankfully we have His Majesty who could grant us his presence so we can get together like this. This morning I went to the outskirts of the capital to watch a military performance. I received the Empress’s invitation there and heard each palace had made their own dumplings. So I came to have a taste and enjoy the company. Your Majesty, I personally made these dumplings. Just regular vegetable and meat fillings. Please try them. Fine. Great. Your skills are on a par with the royal chefs. Your Majesty, I’m not good at wrapping dumplings. So I only brought a jar of rose vinegar. Consort Xian, when you eat dumplings, you must have vinegar. Though your item isn’t the most needed, it’s the item that can’t be lacked the most. Consort Xian, no wonder His Majesty cares about you so much. His Majesty and Your Highness the Empress are two bodies with one mind. I suppose Your Highness the Empress thinks of me day and night too? It’s the same for A’Ruo too. Isn’t that so? Nowadays, Younger Sister Shen is already a Noble Lady. Why is Consort Xian still calling her “A’Ruo”? I feel like her Noble Lady’s attire is so awkward when you call her that. I keep getting reminded of the way she looked when she was your servant back then. I got used to calling her that from before, so it’s hard to change suddenly. Alright. Noble Lady Shen, you should drink a toast to that. Ruyi was your old mistress. Now she’s been released from her undo injustice. Now it’s our family banquet here. As you are her old servant, you should toast her. Yes. Here’s my toast to Your Highness Consort Xian. Fine. First Class Attendant Shen, seeing how happy you are for Consort Xian, I’m happy too. From now on, let’s promote Noble Lady Shen to Imperial Concubine Shen. Your Majesty, this sudden promotion, it’s a bit too rash, isn’t it? Your Majesty, Imperial Concubines are mistresses of their own palaces and a lofty status. In the cases of Imperial Concubines Mei and Shu and Jia, they’ve either given birth to an heir, came from a noble lineage, or have been favored for many years. Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Shen lives with me. If she’s an Imperial Concubine too, then Qixiang Palace… wouldn’t there be two Mistresses then? No matter how Imperial Concubine Shen’s promoted, Qixiang Palace only has you as the mistress. There’s difference in status still. So let’s forgo a coronation for Imperial Concubine Shen then. Yes, Sister Imperial Concubine Jia gave birth to a royal heir, to have same concubine status would still have a ranking within. Your Majesty, without a coronation the promotion won’t be official. I value Imperial Concubine Shen above formalities. I thank Your Majesty for your grace. Imperial Concubine Shen’s blessed so I imagine His Majesty won’t need to flip the tags tonight. Naturally he will be accompanied by Imperial Concubine Shen. Empress, you are thoughtful. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Stop right there. You’ve just been promoted and you’ve forgotten the ranking order? You dare to walk ahead of me? You’re an Imperial Concubine and I’m an Imperial Concubine too. (T/N Both hold the fifth rank, “Pin” now) We’re all the same, so who’s higher than who? I’m the mother of a royal heir, and senior of all the Imperial Concubines. You came from being Consort Xian’s servant and you dare to mention being my equal? For your old boss Consort Xian getting out of Cold Palace, His Majesty gave you the promotion over that. Thinking about this, it’s not right too. It was you who betrayed Her Highness Consort Xian and framed her as culprit in the deaths of royal heirs. But today His Majesty keeps saying Her Highness Consort Xian was framed. I think this promotion of yours was just a slap to you instead. Whore! You’re both servants. Why bother hitting one of your own? Lixin, just take this slap for now… and learn from her just how she got to crawl up into His Majesty’s bed. I don’t dare to seduce His Majesty behind your back, Mistress. And I wouldn’t dare to frame you. Regardless of how many slaps I receive, I wouldn’t learn these filthy ways. – You…
– Mistress. You dare to slap me? This slap is for you to learn to be good. It’s for you not to forget how you climbed up for the past years. To be rude to me? Just think of who you are! I have the Empress and Noble Consort Hui at my back. Is that so? Let’s see then just how many in this palace even accept you. You! They looked down on me. I’ve already been promoted to an Imperial Concubine. To them, I am only a cheap servant. Mistress, don’t take it to heart. She’s just jealous of you. Today is your great day of being promoted and you have to serve His Majesty in bed tonight as well. Let’s go back to the palace and I’ll rub your face with an egg. Let’s leave. A’Rou doesn’t seem to have been living greatly these past years. She’s got His Majesty’s attention so it’s hard to avoid hate from others. Plus how did she betray you back then for her gain? Everyone knows the truth so of course they look down at her. Glory and riches she went after, so she will have to bear the shame and bullying. You ate so much not long ago and you’re eating again. You are not afraid of getting bloated? I don’t know why I’m always hungry. If you eat a lot, your stomach will expand more. This body can’t be seen anymore anyway. Not eating more might be cheating the baby. That’s really not worth it then. Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian, Noble Lady Hai. Royal Physician Jiang, Noble Lady Hai’s appetite is so big it worries me. I wonder what’s wrong with her. Noble Lady Hai has a good appetite and the baby is strong so it’s no trouble. But the baby does seem to be quite a bit bigger than fetuses his age. Mistress, your prenatal medicine. Alright, just put it aside to let it chill. May I ask if you’re taking the medicine by my prescription? Of course. Is there anything wrong? This medicine is not right. Wufu, could you bring the dregs of the concoction for this medicine to me to see? It’s right outside. I’ll go fetch it now. I didn’t see it wrong. This prenatal medicine, someone’s added quite a bit to it. But what they add wasn’t anything bad, just good prenatal medicines. However, the amount is much higher than what I prescribed. I prescribed this. And the medicine was filled by the royal medicine bureau. After it was made, I saw nothing was wrong with it. I brought this from the royal physician’s court and I have been very cautious. Straight from there to you, no one else put a hand in it. Someone’s adjusted the ratios of this prescription. So the effect will heavily stabilize the fetus. You were weak to start out with, so after this medicine, though it’s fine on the royal heir, all your blood will be absorbed by the fetus. And your body will be weakened with the fetus overly-strong. When you are in labor, the Noble Lady… will have a hard time. Imperial Physician Jiang, please investigate this fully. I will definitely investigate this when I go back. May you be assured, Consort Xian and Noble Lady Hai. I will be extra careful from now on. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of
‫the bride or the groom? ‫The groom. You? ‫A friend of the bride. ‫We actually met before.

‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go! Today, there are some furtive words in the palace. His Majesty is mentioning you again. – That he might escort you out of Cold Palace.
– Really? I’ve only heard it in passing, I can’t be sure. Mistress. If we could really go out, then those who harmed us would be so scared. But then again, since you could hear this news, then they would also know. What if they find some new method to harm us? Yes. We can’t just wait in content for sure. Jiang Yubin, next time you come, please bring me a package of something important. This item only you can retrieve. What is it? – Anyone there?
– What is it now? – Hurry and come.
– Jiu Xiao. – What is it now?
– Ling Yunche. – Come open door.
– Someone come! – Who is it? – Ling Yunche. Ling Yunche. Come. Save us. – What is it?
– Ling Yunche. What’s wrong? What happened? What’s wrong? What is happening? What’s happening? Get Royal Physician Jiang. Don’t wait, go! What did you eat? Drink up. Vomit it out. Drink water. Mistress, do you think– Eunuch Li. What’s wrong? Noble Lady Shen. Report from the Cold Palace. Ula-Nara has been poisoned badly. And Yanxi Palace also said Noble Lady Hai’s incense had cinnabar added to it again. That Ula-Nara in Cold Palace is nothing even if she is dead. And Noble Lady Hai has the royal physician watching her. His Majesty’s royal body is more important. Must you commit the offense of startling him over this? Noble Lady Shen. Li Yu. Your Majesty! Your Majesty. Noble Lady Shen, you needn’t be by my side anymore. Your Majesty, forgive me. I don’t know what I did wrong. You were wrong from the start in many things. Do you think it’s only today that you are wrong? I am dim-witted. The matter in Cold Palace is about a human life. Noble Lady Hai has royal heir in her and you can be so cold-hearted? Your Majesty, I know my wrong. I just didn’t want to disturb your rest. Get lost. Where do you plan to go first, Your Majesty? – Going to the Cold Palace first.
– Your Majesty. What’s happened at the Cold Palace exactly? According to Physician Jiang’s report, someone tainted their food with pishuang. (T/N white arsenic) Luckily Mistress Yi and Suoxin didn’t eat much so they were revived. Other than Physician Jiang, I also sent two royal physicians to watch together just in case. Let me. Move it out. How is it? How’s Mistress? We made her drink salt water and she vomited out all the poison. Don’t worry. She will be alright. She’s just unconscious. What about you? Just a bit dizzy still in my head. It will probably last a bit more. Rest a bit first. His Majesty arrives. His Majesty is here. Jiang Yubin in Your Majesty’s presence. How’s Consort Xian’s health? (T/N her old title before this started) Replying to Your Majesty, Her Highness Consort Xian was poisoned with white arsenic. Luckily it was discovered in time, but she’s still unconscious. I have already removed most of Her Highness Consort Xian’s poison. Her Highness Consort Xian has lived in Cold Palace a long time and her body is weak, so it needs more time to recover. Good then. You must help Consort Xian recover fully. Yes. I take my leave. Ruyi. I came late. When you can walk again, I will escort you out of Cold Palace right away. I’ve compromised you. Whore. All whores. Mistress, don’t be like this. Let’s think of a way to dissipate His Majesty’s anger instead. What more can I do? All these compromises I made these years. Who knows all the compromises I put up with? Mistress. Crazy again. She’s served His Majesty for a long time. And her insanity is getting more severe. Mistress. Noble Lady Hai getting harmed, could it really be linked to Noble Consort Hui? Who cares who did it. It’s not our business either way. But Noble Lady Hai’s poisoning is strange. Everyone in the palace is saying that Ula-Nara was framed back then. Can’t be that she’s really going to come out of Cold Palace? If she comes out of Cold Palace, she will investigate what happened that year sooner or later. And there’s Empress and also Noble Consort Hui. Plus Noble Lady Shen and Gugu Sulian. You just need to manage Fourth Prince well. It’s not our business. Whore. All whores. The almond jelly in your palace has a good flavor. It was very tasty when I ate it. Your Highness the Empress likes it and I will make more. I heard almonds are good for skin tone. It will be most suitable to eat them liberally. You eat more of it too. Yes. Your Highness the Empress, Your Highness the Noble Consort. His Majesty just went to the Cold Palace. He called that Ula-Nara “Consort Xian” personally. And he also said…that soon he will allow her to leave Cold Palace. Ula-Nara was already demoted to commoner. How could she be released from Cold Palace? His Majesty personally called her “Consort Xian”? His Majesty is confused. Why soon, instead of now? Zhao Yitai, speak clearly. Ula-Nara somehow got poisoned by white arsenic and she’s not recovered fully yet. His Majesty said to leave the Cold Palace when she can get up. I understand. You all withdraw for now. – Yes.
– Yes. – I —
– Noble Consort, was it you? Me? If I did it, how would I allow her to be able to leave the Cold Palace? I don’t know who poisoned her. But they didn’t poison accurately. You really didn’t do it? It wasn’t me! Your Highness, it really wasn’t me. I haven’t had the chance to make a move. Could it be that whore A’Rou? She wouldn’t dare to act alone without you and I. Or else who can vouch for her should things go awry? Then who could it be? Imperial Concubine Mei? Imperial Concubine Jia? Like you, I have no idea. But as long as we have Noble Lady Shen, she can’t tolerate that Ula-Nara more so than anyone else. Your Highness is sage. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Any update on Consort Xian’s poison incident? I’ve looked into the source of the food. The eunuch who delivered the food said Her Highness Consort Xian and Suoxin had paid them silver so their food was better than the food of others. But their food was delivered along with other people’s. So many hands and heads in this so it can’t be seen who touched it. What about Noble Lady Hai? No thread to pursue either. Then what do I need you for? I deserve death. You don’t deserve death. Someone has the skills to cover up the sky in the harem behind me. (T/N conceal truth) Even you can’t find out, that one is the one who should die. Tell me. Is Yikun Palace finished? Your Majesty instructed me to restore Yikun Palace for Her Highness Consort Xian to reside in. I don’t dare not to be diligent. Only the best of everything was selected. Good. “Kun” signifies the head of female yin, meaning to assist. Except for Kuning Palace used for grand weddings, Yikun Palace is the most extravagant and noble of the palaces. I will have Ruyi have this honor to make up for some of the trouble she went through. Your Majesty, I know I wronged you. I will never dare again, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Noble Lady Shen’s been kneeling outside of Yangxin Hall begging for your forgiveness. Your Majesty, I will never dare again. She’s brazen enough to ask for mercy? These years, what has she done? She doesn’t know? How she’s carried out her serving of me in bed all these years. You are my personal close eunuch. Don’t you know? If Your Majesty doesn’t allow me to know, then I don’t know. If you allow me to know, then I can only know in my heart, not in my mouth. (T/N not discuss, just listen) You are obedient. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Forgive me. Alright. Since Noble Lady Shen likes to kneel, have her kneel. Your Majesty. When I was a servant, I would have to kneel often. I never thought I’d get to be a Noble Lady and it’s still this way. Mistress, you acknowledged your wrong to His Majesty. There’s nothing wrong with that. A little royal favor and all wrong, no matter how grand, can be washed away. And His Majesty, once he’s not angry anymore, he will favor you still. Favor me? How has His Majesty favored me? Consort Xian is about to come out of Cold Palace. I fear I will have no place to stand. Mistress, you are so worried because you don’t have a royal heir. If you can have a boy and girl, what’s there to worry? Royal heir? How can I get a royal heir? I will never in this life. Mistress, time for medicine. This medicine stinks already. This medicine gets rid of cinnabar. If we don’t clear all the residual poison and it harms the little royal prince in you, that will be big. I have Physician Jiang watching over me. What’s there to worry? But what about Sister? How could she have been poisoned out of nowhere? Physician Jiang already said Mistress Xian is fine now. His Majesty already went to Cold Palace to visit Mistress Xian and personally said he will restore her status, and to allow Mistress Xian to leave the Cold Palace. That’s true. Elder Sister will come out of the Cold Palace soon. I must get better quick then or else she will worry about me. Mistress, you are closer than a real sister with her. The snow ceased. It’s so great. Tomorrow will be a clear day for sure. Yes. It will be for sure. We will go out tomorrow. Guard Ling. Greetings and good health to Your Highness Consort Xian. Rise. Your Highness Consort Xian, this food was made especially for you. Eunuch Li was afraid others might put a hand in it so he had me bring it to you personally. I’ve troubled you. Congratulations, Your Highness. You can leave here tomorrow. Congratulations to you as well, you won’t be missing us. Not so, Your Highness, don’t joke with me. We’ve been taken care of by you all this time in the Cold Palace. I don’t even know how to thank you. So I made a pair of boots for you. Thank you, Your Highness. Look inside. – It’s got a cloud patten.
– This cloud pattern is to match your name. And I also wish peace like that of a cloud upon you. Thank you for Your Highness’ beautiful intention. Your Highness, since you’ve said that, then I have a favor I would like to request from you. Go ahead. I beg Your Highness Consort Xian to transfer me out of the Cold Palace for a good prospect. Rise. You’ve saved us so many times that granting you a good future is not even enough as repayment. What makes me happy is that you brought it up yourself, and you can finally think of your own welfare. Your Highness’ teaching that day, I’ve kept it in mind. Just that all these years, I patrolled the Cold Palace and I’ve always been belittled by others and treated with cold glares. If I still don’t think for myself, then I am too cruel to myself. I’m glad you can think like that. That day you said both you and I can’t leave the Cold Palace. How’s that now? Indeed Your Highness Consort Xian is far-sighted! I wanted to go watch it snow but it stopped. Snow stopped and Consort Xian’s body is well too. It’s about time she came out now. His Majesty finally waited until the right time to release Ruyi. Yes. That day when His Majesty came out from the Cold Palace, he couldn’t wait to come looking for you. That year Ruyi was framed for two incidents. His Majesty was already suspicious back then. But now Ruyi’s been met with danger many times and Noble Lady Hai was poisoned by cinnabar too, this by implication told everyone that Ruyi was framed. How can His Majesty wait longer? His Majesty sounded like he will reinvestigate the matter. What do you think it will become? His Majesty is going to find out whose was the black hand that framed her. (T/N the mastermind) If the truth can come out, that would be great naturally. But I fear some can’t sit still. Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian. You may rise. I have come to escort Your Highness Consort Xian with honor to Yikun Palace. Yikun Palace? Yes. His Majesty said Yikun Palace is a place that he already deemed suitable for Your Highness Consort Xian to reside in long ago. Now it’s all ready. It’s waiting for Your Highness Consort Xian’s return. Li Yu. When I came here, you escorted me here. Now I’m going back and it’s you taking me back again. Thank you. Your Highness, please don’t say that. I am truly happy for Your Highness Consort Xian. It’s been three years, Your Highness has suffered. Your Highness Consort Xian, these two momos will now serve by dressing you. They are veteran momos who have been serving His Majesty closely. Momo Zheng is best at combing hair. This is Gugu Yuhu. She attends to His Majesty closely for his errands. Gugu Yuhu. Your Highness Consort Xian is too cordial. Then may Your Highness Consort Xian please change into ceremonial attire. Ceremonial attire is too formal. I will return in casual attire. His Majesty thought so too but was thinking casual attire might be too simple. So we’ve prepared both. Then let’s allow the two momos to dress and put up Your Highness Consort Xian’s hair. We will wait outside. Alright. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com [ Law and Justice ] Your Highness Consort Xian, this way. Greetings to Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty. Greetings. Go. [ Cold Palace ] Your Highness Consort Xian, may you please ride in the carriage. Since I walked here, let’s walk back. Come Respectfully sending off Your Highness Consort Xian. Your Highness Consort Xian, Yikun Palace is this way. I want to take a stroll around the walls. Yes. Can’t believe I actually got to see someone walk out of the Cold Palace in this lifetime. You’ve got a good way of looking at things, Ling Yunche. You saved her twice. You’re a nobleman. Let’s go drink some wine! Go now. Let’s drink wine tonight. Let them not follow me for now. Yes. Mistress. You’re finally back. I will bow to you. Rise. Your Highness Consort Xian, have a look inside. The decorations inside were all done to your liking. [ Yikun Palace ] I’ve selected some of these servants who used to serve at Yanxi Palace. All the new ones to Yikun Palace, I’ve researched three generations of each and every one, and they are all clean. You toiled some in coming here. There’s already cakes ready for you in the heated hall. Please have some first. Suoxin. Alright. Everyone get up. You’ve finally come out. Then I can now return this to you. Put it on. You still have this pin? Alright. Thank you for your kind thought. His Majesty is inside. Ruyi. Quickly rise. You’re back. Your Majesty, you talk as though I’ve just taken a stroll to the Imperial Garden for fresh air and come back. I say that, to mean as it’s though you’ve always been by my side. As though you’ve never left. Come. I know you suffered. Your Majesty knew I was compromised but you still sent me to the Cold Palace. I had only reigned for a few years. I had Empress Dowager and the consorts. They all have clan powers. I had also the old subjects who collude with them. And the pivotal point is it concerned two royal heirs. Every incident and witness pointed to you. If I insisted in keeping you by my side and doing nothing, both the Imperial court and harem would have all come after me. So Your Majesty could only deal with me that way. Even though immediately you had suspicions I had been treated unfairly, Your Majesty could only do so much… for the stability of the Imperial court and harem. I was the one who could be sacrificed. Ruyi. I am the Emperor. I rule the world. But I still face struggles and frustrations, again and again. Royal Mother told me that I must abandon you for the time being in order to stop those who wanted to harm you. Then afterwards? Your Majesty saw it personally. Afterwards, I realized… keeping you by my side is the safest. Ruyi. I was truly afraid that you would be burned to death, that you would come to your end by arsenic. So no matter what, I wanted you to come back. To be by my side. Your hand’s frostbite, I already saw it. I prepared the best frostbite medicine in the palace. I will apply it on you. Sit. This isn’t something you should do. But I want to. Thank you, Your Majesty. In order to welcome you. I prepared a special gift. Li Yu. Look at it. How can there be green plum blossoms in this season? It has some powder scent. It’s not entirely green plum blossom scent. The lovely image of a beautiful woman behind the screen brightly adorning herself with makeup at dawn. Your Majesty has made new makeup for me? I know you like green plum blossoms, so I had this powder made especially just for you. Green plum blossom powder? Your Highness Consort Xian, the recipe to make this powder, His Majesty researched it personally. For this, His Majesty put in all his effort and time. Finally he settled on using yellow lead, white sandalwood and borneol herb, all very expensive. Added the white lotus that is most ripe for the season, plus white hollyhock, mountain crab-apple, and dunouxiang. Such detailed research. (T/N sap of terebinth tree, Pistacia terebinthus) Then combining with pearl dust and egg white powder. Then he asked the palace maid with greatest skills to pick the ripest and fullest green plum blossoms and added the powder carefully into the blossoms, using needle and thread to sew it to shut and steaming them in a closed floral house. Finally let it rest in the agate box for many months in order to finally achieve this fragrance and luster and to allow your complexion to be pearly-white. Your Highness, His Majesty has always felt anxious about your beauty paling in the Cold Palace. He wishes for your blush to come back soon. Suoxin. Why are you crying? My Mistress finally got out. Yes. Why haven’t you put on your velvet flower? I will wear it later. Your Majesty used the example of Ming Xizhong’s (T/N Temple name of the fifteenth Ming ruler, Emperor Tianqi) method for making Empress Yi’an’s jade hairpin face powder. Just that dunouxiang is rare and very expensive. To use that for facial powder I am happy but also surprised. If the others were to find out, I wonder what would happen to me. No matter how expensive an ingredient, it’s no match to how I feel. Just remember how I feel and the rest, don’t worry. Thank you for Your Majesty’s kind intention. Frankly, to me, the most precious item is not this. Instead it’s that you won’t let go of my hand at the end of a cliff. My hand is always here. Don’t worry. Ruyi, starting from today, I will never let you fall off a cliff again. Trust me. Your Majesty, I would like to seek a favor from you. Speak. Ling Yunche from the Cold Palace saved my life. I wish Your Majesty to transfer him out to a better place. That’s a given. I will have Yuhu take care of it. I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Ling Yunche. ‫a glass of red wine, please. ‫Thank you. ‫Are you a friend of
‫the bride or the groom? ‫The groom. You? ‫A friend of the bride. ‫We actually met before.
‫You may have forgotten. ‫Next time, let’s
‫have dinner together? ‫Sure. ‫The main heir of
‫zheng tai is here. ‫Hello, mister. Mister, hello. ‫Isn’t he just a
‫hedonistic, rich son just ‫depending on his parents?
‫What’s good about that? ‫Ha. ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Stupid, I should have
‫asked him for more money. ‫Aunty, I’m here. ‫Sorry. Aunty, I have to deal with
‫some things today so I got delayed. ‫Are you hungry? I
‫can cook something. ‫Qing ling, if you are really sincere
‫in calling me aunty, then great. ‫I am asking you to immediately leave our
‫house today and severe ties with ah hai. ‫Aunty, don’t be angry. ‫I’m sorry. I was
‫wrong. Forgive me. ‫Besides apologizing, what
‫else are you capable of? ‫Do you think you’re
‫worthy to be ah hai’s wife? ‫I only have one son. I spent a
‫whole lifetime of hard work on him. ‫I cannot let ah hai get

‫Don’t make me leave me, okay? ‫Qing ling, don’t blame
‫me for being harsh. ‫You’re just an orphan. ‫Let’s not talk about education,

‫I’ll drink with you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sun Chang qing, do you have
‫a face cramps or something? ‫I clearly gave you such
‫an important project. ‫Ding hai, is the key for the zheng
‫tai villa hotel model unit with you? ‫The keys are right
‫here. What’s wrong? ‫I clearly gave it to sun Chang
‫qing so he can take some pictures. ‫Why is it in your hands? ‫Editor-in-chief, although I am tasked
‫to do the writing of the feature article, ‫just looking at pictures, how can I know
‫the outstanding aspects of the villa hotel? ‫That’s why, you personally
‫went there to experience it? ‫I just went there to
‫personally take a look. ‫After looking, I’ll be
‫returning the key to you. ‫How about this? I’ll finish the
‫article now and give it to you. ‫No need. I just received a
‫complaint call from zheng tai earlier. ‫They said that our employee
‫misused their model unit ‫so they want to cancel their advertisement
‫contract with us and will even sue us. ‫It was you, right? It
‫was you who did that. ‫It wasn’t me. ‫It wasn’t you? ‫Was it you then? ‫- How can it be me?
‫- The key… ‫Was only handled
‫by the two of you. ‫I only went there to look after
‫office hours. I didn’t misuse it. ‫Don’t say that to me. ‫Go to zheng tai and explain. ‫If you are not able to
‫get this advertisement ‫contract back, don’t
‫bother coming back for work. ‫Ding hai. ‫Here. ‫You really brought a
‫woman to the model villa? ‫Stinky brat, you could have
‫cleaned it well after using it. ‫I didn’t even enter at all. ‫Then how did the people
‫of zheng tai know about it? ‫How will I know? ‫Immediately apologize
‫with zheng tai hotel. ‫Think of a way to get the
‫advertisement rights back. ‫I’ve already asked around about
‫it for you. This time, it was ‫the general manager of zheng tai
‫who personally issued the order. ‫General manager? ‫Duan tian lang? ‫Oh, no. It must be because of
‫the selling of the photos last time. ‫And that I almost
‫touched his girlfriend. ‫That stinky woman
‫actually dared to betray me? ‫You touched duan tian
‫lang’s girlfriend? ‫Have you lost your mind? ‫I actually believed that woman. ‫I won’t let her off. ‫Why did you come down here? ‫Obviously to welcome
‫you and tian lang. ‫Is everything all set? ‫Let’s go. ‫I am going to first
‫introduce someone to everyone. ‫My son, duan tian lang. ‫Phd in business management
‫from Columbia university. ‫Good morning, board directors. ‫The position for the
‫general manager position ‫of zheng tai hotel
‫has always been vacant. ‫Chairman and I have decided to
‫let tian lang temporarily take it. ‫Whether he is qualified for it or not,
‫we’ll all evaluate it after three months. ‫Let me say a few words. ‫Actually, an educational
‫degree is just secondary. ‫In managing hotels, the most
‫important thing is still experience. ‫Tian lang just came back and
‫is already going to take on such ‫an important position. I think
‫that it’s not that appropriate. ‫I have the same
‫opinion as director xu. ‫Even xue qing started
‫by being a team head. ‫Tian lang directly
‫becoming the general manager, ‫I’m afraid it will be
‫hard to appease everyone. ‫The words said by the board
‫directors were indeed very reasonable. ‫I’m willing to accept
‫everyone’s advice. ‫I have a suggestion. ‫In your hands is the
‫sales report for last month. ‫This is xue qing’s performance. ‫Xue qing has always been making
‫progress while ensuring stability. ‫She never disappointed us. ‫Director xu, please continue. ‫I am willing to accept any test. ‫I think that we should first let tian
‫lang work in the marketing department. ‫If after two months, tian lang can
‫make the hotel’s sales performance ‫increase by 5% ‫above what xue qing has done, ‫then we will recognize
‫tian lang’s ability. ‫5%? ‫That’s a bit low. ‫Tian lang. ‫I will increase the sales
‫performance in two months by 10%. ‫Young lad, don’t be so sure
‫when putting out words like that. ‫Whether it is true or not, may the
‫board check on it after two months. ‫Okay. We’ll then
‫give you two months. ‫But vice chairman,
‫leaving the general manager ‫position vacant for
‫too long isn’t good, too. ‫I suggest to let xue
‫qing temporarily hold it. ‫I agree. ‫Xue qing has been
‫in the hotel longer. ‫Her work performance has
‫always been appropriate. ‫I am at ease if she
‫becomes the general manager. ‫Old duan, I am just dealing
‫with the matter, not the person. ‫You won’t mind, right? ‫What are you saying? ‫Xue qing, do your job well. ‫Don’t disappoint us. ‫I will definitely do my
‫best. Please be at ease. ‫I have to get going. ‫- I’m going then.
‫- Okay, take care. ‫You being this rash, how can
‫you do great things in the future? ‫This is not being rash.
‫This is being confident. ‫I was by uncle’s side for
‫so many years. You really ‫think that I was just taking
‫medicine and recuperating? ‫My performance grades indeed
‫must be made for him to see. ‫If I didn’t do well, he
‫also will not forgive me. ‫Tian lang, could it be
‫that uncle already guessed ‫that you will be assigned
‫to the marketing department? ‫He already guessed that it won’t be easy
‫for me to get the general manager position. ‫Okay. Both of you
‫now have new missions. ‫Do well. Don’t embarrass me. ‫Okay. I know. ‫I know already. ‫Tian lang, ‫don’t mind what happened
‫during the board meeting. ‫I only… ‫Director xu’s suggestions doesn’t
‫have anything to do with you. ‫The board only want to maximize
‫the interest of the company. ‫Today, they pushed us
‫two siblings into the teeth ‫of the storm because
‫they want us to compete. ‫Only by competing can the
‫interest of the hotel be maximized. ‫It’s good that you didn’t
‫misunderstand. Oh, right. ‫How did uncle guess that there
‫will be opposition from the board? ‫Very simple. ‫Who would believe a newbie? ‫You have always hated to lose. This time,
‫we have to compete against each other. ‫My wininng or losing is only
‫for show to those outsiders. ‫Even if I win over
‫you, it is just to lessen ‫the complaints of
‫those board members. ‫You’re talking as if
‫you’ve already beaten me. ‫Oh, right. This is the
‫marketing department. ‫Do well. Fighting. ‫Okay. I’ll go in now. ‫Assistant general manager,
‫oh, wrong, general manager. ‫You are really quick
‫to get the news. ‫From now on, help him well. ‫Oh, right. If there is any news,
‫you must report it to me right away. ‫I understand. I will surely report promptly
‫section chief duan’s situation to you. ‫Move aside! ‫Qing ling, what’s this
‫scent that you are wearing? ‫- Smells so good.
‫- Is it good? ‫This is the new
‫perfume that I concocted. ‫- Do you like it?
‫- I like it! ‫Do you still have
‫some? Give me some. ‫So great. Then you are my
‫first customer! Thank you. ‫Really? Then how are
‫you going to thank me? ‫Anything. You say it. ‫Deliver the flowers then. ‫No problem. Deliver where? ‫10:30 am at the office of the
‫general manager of zheng tai hotel. ‫The name is… gaston duan. ‫Foreigner? ‫I also don’t know. You’ll
‫know when you go there. ‫Oh, right. This is
‫my largest customer. ‫You must treat them
‫seriously and well. ‫I know already. Just give
‫it to me. It’s this one? ‫Be at ease when I
‫do things. I’m going. ‫Manager duan xue qing ‫manager xue qing. ‫I’ve been working hard for 5 years.
‫I’m finally working in this office. ‫This is what I deserve. ‫Come in. ‫You? ‫Why are you here? ‫I have come to deliver flowers. ‫Go out. I don’t need it. ‫Don’t misunderstand. I don’t
‫want to stay here any longer either. ‫I’ll leave once I
‫deliver the flowers. ‫Your first trick
‫didn’t work so you have a ‫second trick? Do you
‫believe I’ll call security? ‫How come you can’t
‫understand what I’m saying? ‫I said I’ll leave once
‫I deliver the flowers. ‫Stop! ‫Don’t move! Leave
‫the flowers there. ‫I want to know who
‫the flowers are from. ‫- I’ll help you check it.
‫- Don’t bother looking. ‫This… what kind
‫of flowers are these? ‫These are lanling flowers. It
‫means the coming of blessings. ‫It should have been given
‫to you by your friend. ‫Arrest her.- Yes. ‫Huh? What are you guys doing? ‫Hurry and look to see if
‫there is a weapon in her bag. ‫Don’t look through my bag! ‫- Is there a weapon?
‫- There’s nothing there. ‫You can go. ‫Are you done inspecting? ‫Please sign it. ‫It’s just a misunderstanding.
‫If there’s something ‫you’re unsatisfied with,
‫you can talk to my lawyer. ‫Gaston duan. ‫Gaston is tian lang’s English name.
‫Who would have sent the flowers here? ‫I’m taking these flowers away. ‫Stay right there. ‫The person who gave this
‫flower, was his name su nan? ‫I’m sorry. It’s not convenient for me
‫to disclose the customer’s information. ‫Put the flowers down. I’ll
‫pay you double the price. ‫I’m not selling it. ‫If there is something you’re unsatisfied
‫with, you can talk to my lawyer. ‫May I ask if
‫Mr. Gaston duan is here? ‫That’s me. ‫It’s you! ‫What are you doing here? ‫How did you know
‫that I was here? ‫I… ‫Hello. ‫I’m from lili’s flower
‫shop to deliver you flowers. ‫Mr. Gaston duan,
‫please receive it. ‫It is gaston. ‫What gaston? ‫Did shan shan tell
‫you that I was here? ‫Was it her who told you
‫to come here to look for me? ‫No, it’s not shan
‫shan. This card… it has ‫your name on it. You
‫can see for yourself. ‫Sign first. ‫I don’t want these
‫flowers. Take it away. ‫I’m only in charge of
‫delivering the flowers. ‫If you want to return
‫it, return it yourself. ‫Can you just sign
‫this for me first? ‫These flowers are a hideous
‫mess. I refuse to accept it. ‫It’s not my business the
‫customer got the address wrong. ‫Just sign it, okay? ‫You’ve finally shown
‫your true colors. ‫Barging into the male bathroom,
‫hitting people in the airport, ‫scamming, and right
‫now, even threatening. ‫I just know that you
‫are a female gangster. ‫Female… ‫You are the gangster! ‫You stinky bastard that
‫eats off other people’s money. ‫You! ‫You took advantage of me and I
‫haven’t even made you pay for it yet. ‫While I am still not flaring
‫up, you better leave now, ‫or else I’ll look for my
‫lawyer and get even with you. ‫Are you signing or not? ‫Is this security? ‫I just wanted a signature. ‫Why are you all
‫making it hard for me? ‫Keep calling for
‫security or lawyers… ‫Isn’t it just signing? ‫It’s just signing. How come
‫you all are making it hard for me? ‫You all are causing me trouble. ‫That’s enough. Stop crying. ‫Where do I sign? ‫Sign right here. ‫Is this correct? ‫Then go. ‫Or else, I am really going to call
‫the security already to arrest you. ‫I wouldn’t stay here
‫even if you asked me to. ‫Wait! ‫Take these rotten flowers away. ‫Who does she thinks she is? ‫Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what is
‫the matter? Tian lang! ‫Tian lang, what’s wrong? ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Tian lang, you woke up. ‫What is it? ‫What are you daydreaming
‫about? What’s wrong? ‫Nothing. I am just looking at how
‫good our mengling lilies have blossomed. ‫Blossoming well but you
‫don’t look that happy. ‫Qing ling, what happened? ‫Grandma, tell me, are all rich
‫people rude and unreasonable? ‫Money… it can cover one’s eyes ‫and make it hard to
‫look at oneself clearly. ‫But it can also clear
‫up a person’s eye ‫because the heart
‫can’t be blinded. ‫Grandma, talking to you about
‫this made my heart feel much better. ‫Dad, the doctor is here. ‫Doctor. ‫When he goes home, he must rest more. He
‫shouldn’t take on too much work pressure. ‫What happened to him this time is
‫mainly due to sudden provocation. ‫This is the prescription. Make
‫sure to collect the medicine later. ‫Sorry to have troubled you. ‫Thank you. ‫Thanks. ‫Sudden provocation? Could it be
‫something happened in the hotel? ‫Xue qing, I told you to take
‫good care of your brother. ‫It’s his first day at
‫work and this happened. ‫How do you do your job
‫as a general manager? ‫What does this have to do with
‫me being the general manager? ‫I know that you like your son more but
‫you shouldn’t keep oppressing me, right? ‫Am I really your daughter? ‫If you really want to know why tian
‫lang is in the hospital, ask su nan. ‫What? ‫I-I… ‫What’s going on? ‫Tian lang got provoked
‫because of that lanling flower. ‫What flower? What’s going on? ‫Nothing. ‫Dad, let’s go home. ‫I feel worse if I stay
‫in the hospital longer. ‫Aunty nan, that lanling flower
‫was ordered by you, right? ‫It was indeed me who ordered it. ‫I heard from your father that
‫tian lang had become the general ‫manager so I wanted to give him
‫some flowers to congratulate him. ‫Dad, don’t listen to xue qing. ‫This thing has nothing
‫to do with aunty su nan. ‫Xue qing, stop talking rubbish. ‫- Tian lang.
‫- Hey. ‫Xue qing. ‫Xue qing, what does tian
‫lang’s hospital admission ‫this time have to do
‫with that flower I sent? ‫You probably didn’t expect that tian lang
‫didn’t succeed in getting the position. ‫Your congratulatory flower was
‫even sent to the wrong person. ‫Your father already told me. I
‫haven’t congratulated you yet. ‫Is that sincere? ‫How come I feel my
‫back getting cold? ‫Xue qing, it wouldn’t
‫be because I sent those ‫flowers that tian lang
‫got hospitalized, right? ‫Isn’t it that the flower
‫he disliked is tulips? ‫There’s nothing wrong
‫with the flower but the ‫there is with the one
‫who delivered the flowers. ‫Really don’t know
‫what your intention is. ‫You actually let a scammer
‫deliver flowers to tian lang. ‫If I’ve known that she will anger
‫tian lang to the point that he will ‫get hospitalized, I would have
‫already called security to drag her out. ‫Scammer? ‫I definitely ordered
‫from lili’s flower shop. ‫Last time, sister xue
‫qing told me that didn’t ‫you send tian lang a
‫bouquet of lanling flowers? ‫It was qing ling
‫who delivered it. ‫Does she work at
‫lili’s flower shop? ‫No, she is lili’s flower
‫shop flower supplier. ‫Flower supplier? ‫I really am so worried. If
‫qing ling goes to see tian lang ‫again and she provokes him
‫to the point of fainting again, ‫then that would be problematic. ‫I’ll make a call right now and ask
‫the flower shop to change their supplier. ‫Wait for me here for a while. ‫Hello, this is
‫lili’s flowershop. ‫- It’s me.
‫- Ah. ‫Hello madame, what
‫would you like to order? ‫I hope that you can immediately
‫change your flower supplier. ‫Change our flower supplier? Why? ‫Your supplier is
‫called qing ling, right? ‫This person’s service
‫attitude is so despicable. ‫She even angered our hotel’s executive
‫to the point that he got hospitalized. ‫If you don’t change
‫her, I’ll let zheng tai ‫corporation cancel
‫all our orders from you. ‫Madam. ‫Hello? Hello? ‫Qing ling! ‫What is it?- Li li called and said she
‫is not ordering flowers from us anymore. ‫What’s going on? ‫Why? ‫She said that you
‫angered some person? ‫Grandma, don’t panic first.
‫I’ll go see li li right away. ‫Li li, what’s
‫wrong. Why so sudden? ‫Qing ling, it was hard for me to be able
‫to get such a huge client like zheng tai. ‫I repeatedly instructed you that
‫time so how come you still messed it up? ‫You had angered the person to
‫the point that he was hospitalized. ‫Who? Who got hospitalized? ‫That receiving
‫person, gaston duan. ‫When will you change
‫this attitude of yours? ‫He is quite a weakling. ‫You are still laughing? They are
‫already canceling their orders from me. ‫They say that if I don’t change my
‫supplier, they won’t buy from me anymore. ‫You caused me to
‫suffer a great loss. ‫My good sister, forgive
‫me for my decision, ‫or else I won’t be able
‫to do my business anymore. ‫Li li, don’t change first. ‫Wait. I’ll go apologize now and then
‫ask them to resume their orders with you. ‫I definitely won’t let
‫you suffer any losses. ‫Can you really do it? ‫I promise. I surely will. ‫Why is she here? ‫I initially planned to drive her away
‫but she said she is waiting for you. ‫- Waiting for me?
‫- Yes. ‫I’ll enter through the side door.
‫Think of a way to make her leave. ‫Yes. ‫Hey! ‫Let go of me. ‫I’m sorry. ‫Why didn’t you
‫follow our agreement? ‫Could it be that I
‫was wrong about you? ‫What are you saying?
‫I don’t understand. ‫Didn’t you clearly
‫promised me that you ‫wouldn’t tell anyone
‫about the villa incident? ‫Why did you break your promise? ‫I didn’t tell him. ‫- But he already knew.
‫- Tian lang already knew? ‫Then fine. I’ll go
‫explain things to him. ‫Anyway, there really was
‫nothing going on between us. ‫Hey! ‫That’s not the main point.
‫Right now, my editor-in-chief… ‫Please. Let me
‫see your boyfriend. ‫I must have told you
‫before. If you want to ‫meet duan tian lang
‫through me, forget it. ‫I’m going to him
‫for official matters. ‫I am just an ordinary employee. ‫If you want to meet him,
‫please use the proper channels. ‫And also, my relationship with tian
‫lang only exists outside the hotel. ‫Yeah! ‫You were the one who set up
‫this meeting and you were late! ‫Jeez, my Princess, I have already come
‫here from the flower farm as fast as I can. ‫- These are for you.
‫- Wow, how pretty! ‫Shan shan, I want to
‫ask a favor from you. ‫It’s about your
‫boyfriend, tian lang. ‫Again something to
‫do with tian lang? ‫You better just take these back. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫It was me… I caused
‫quite a huge trouble. ‫Duan tian lang canceled their
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫I already went to see him numerous
‫times but he refuses to see me. ‫Shan shan, you are my good
‫sister. Just help us, please. ‫Shan shan, li li and my
‫future now rest on you. ‫We won’t have anything to
‫eat anymore in the future. ‫Enough already. Your
‫acting is too fake. ‫- What about it?
‫- I’ll try talking to him in your behalf. ‫Really? That’s great. Thank you. ‫Next time, please try
‫acting more sincerely. Okay? ‫I’ll try. ‫General manager duan, I am a reporter from
‫united finance and economics, ding hai. ‫How much do you want? ‫¥100,000. ‫I’m eating right now. ‫I already waited for
‫you the whole morning. ‫The front desk lady said
‫that you were in a meeting. ‫I really have no other way
‫so I recklessly disturbed you. ‫You already know that it is
‫reckless and you still disturbed us. ‫How am I supposed to
‫understand this action of yours? ‫I think that you must
‫have some misunderstanding ‫about me. Please give
‫me a chance to explain. ‫I said, I’m eating right now. ‫I’ll be waiting over there. ‫This is the employee’s canteen.
‫Go wait in the lobby instead. ‫Okay. ‫Are you fooling him? ‫It was him who was overthinking. ‫United finance and economics? ‫He really is a reporter. ‫What’s going on? ‫Aren’t you not interested
‫in my private life? ‫I am just worried that he is
‫approaching you for some ulterior motive. ‫Don’t worry. I am
‫not as stupid as you. ‫Oh, right. Su nan said
‫that there will be guests ‫coming to the house tonight
‫so we must go home early. ‫What do we do about him? ‫Don’t worry about it. ‫Duan tian lang, you’re
‫obviously messing with me. ‫Stupid woman, you are
‫also not some good thing. ‫At most, I’ll just resign. ‫Hello, editor-in-chief. ‫General manager said that he
‫would give me a reply by tomorrow. ‫When one is walking in jianghu, he
‫has no choice but to bow down his head. ‫I must be able to wait
‫for duan tian lang tomorrow. ‫Ceo duan. ‫- You again?
‫- I think you misunderstood me before. ‫About the selling of the
‫photo, we already ended ‫that business with the
‫exchange of money and item. ‫There are no other
‫misunderstandings between us. ‫For that matter, I was also
‫just requested by someone to do it. ‫I didn’t receive any of the
‫money. It has nothing to do with me. ‫I don’t care about the
‫business between you two. ‫General manager duan, what I want
‫to talk about is another matter. ‫Okay. I’ll give
‫you five minutes. ‫Thank you, ceo duan. ‫There really weren’t any employee from our
‫magazine that misused your hotel’s villa. ‫There must be some
‫misunderstanding regarding this. ‫I hope that you won’t cancel the
‫venture contract with our magazine. ‫In the business
‫world, our magazine… ‫Sorry. I totally can’t understand
‫what you are talking about. ‫For the advertisement
‫for zheng tai villa hotel, ‫our magazine is confident
‫that we can do it very well. ‫I believe that with the influence
‫of our magazine in the business world, ‫we will surely be able to bring an
‫acceptable profit to the villa hotel. ‫I hope general manager duan
‫can reconsider this matter. ‫I think that the person
‫who is misunderstanding ‫things is you. Your time is up. ‫- Ceo duan.
‫- Mister, mister. ‫If there are any more situations,
‫just directly report to me. ‫- Okay.
‫- Xue qing, come with me for a minute. ‫What’s wrong? ‫What’s with the villa
‫hotel advertisement? ‫He went to see you again? ‫Xue qing, I don’t care
‫what fight you have with him. ‫But as the general
‫manager of zheng tai, ‫please don’t use the zheng tai’s
‫business matters to joke around. ‫Duan tian lang, I’ve been working in
‫this hotel for more than five years. ‫Every improvement
‫here has my sweat on it. ‫Each brick and tile,
‫each painting and flower ‫in this hotel are
‫all my blood and sweat. ‫I will not use
‫it to joke around. ‫Sorry. It seems like
‫I’ve wrongly accused you. ‫And also, that reporter
‫is an opportunistic person. ‫I won’t give him the
‫advertising project of this hotel. ‫If he comes to see you
‫again, don’t bother with him. ‫With you saying that,
‫I’m at ease then. ‫I’ll be going home now then. ‫Ah hai, you’re home. ‫Have you been drinking? ‫A little. ‫Are you okay? ‫I’ll assist you to go in
‫and drink some honey water. ‫Don’t move. ‫Let me stay like this
‫for a little while. ‫Now… ‫Only you are sincere towards me. ‫Throw that away. ‫Handkerchief? I
‫picked this up for you. ‫I told you to bring that out
‫and throw it. Didn’t you hear me? ‫Okay, okay. ‫Miss, hello. We are doing
‫a fragrance investigation. ‫Can you please take a
‫look at it? Thank you. ‫Okay, thanks. ‫Manager, what’s the use of
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Miss, please take a look at
‫this. Thank you. Hello. We are ‫doing a fragrance investigation.
‫Please take a look at it. ‫- Hmm, okay.
‫- Thank you. ‫Manager, why are we doing
‫this kind of investigation? ‫Look. To remove unpleasant
‫smells in a hotel, ‫the traditional method is to
‫use chemical air fresheners. ‫Some top international
‫hotels have already ‫forbid the use of chemical
‫air freshener spray. ‫They usually just use
‫earth-friendly natural methods. ‫This is the city’s
‫largest flower shop street. ‫The owner of the flower
‫shops can give us a ‫lot of information
‫about flower fragrance. ‫I understand already.
‫Manager, for simple tasks ‫like this, you shouldn’t
‫personally do it anymore. ‫I can just make a call
‫and ask a lot of people ‫to come here. We can
‫get the job done fast. ‫If we mobilize a lot of people,
‫won’t that attract attention? ‫To increase the competitiveness of
‫our hotel, the current investigation ‫must only be known by
‫the two of us. Before ‫we succeed, we must
‫not let anyone else know. ‫Including the hotel’s general manager,
‫you also must not tell her. Understand? ‫Manager, then it means that right
‫now, I am your most trusted person. ‫I surely will keep this a secret,
‫perfectly completing our mission! ‫Enough already.
‫Do your job well. ‫- Why are you here?
‫- Why are you here? ‫Are you following me? ‫Who keeps following you?
‫My flowershop is right here. ‫What are you doing? ‫Fragrance investigation? ‫I am not lying to you. I
‫am an expert in this. You ‫really found the right
‫person. Let me help you. ‫No need. You not giving me
‫trouble is already not bad. ‫No. Just give me a little time,
‫I can really explain everything ‫clearly. This is all really
‫just a big misunderstanding. ‫I am very busy right now. ‫Once I’ve thought of how to get back
‫at you, I’ll then look for you again. ‫Ha? After canceling the
‫orders from li li’s flower shop, ‫you still are not satisfied?!
‫There are still other moves? ‫- Let me help you already.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Just let me help
‫you do something. ‫- Wu hua!
‫- Coming! ‫Hold on to this first. ‫You, come with me. ‫Why? ‫Where are you taking me? ‫I want to clarify that that is
‫not me taking advantage of you. ‫I know. This one
‫earlier doesn’t count. ‫It’s good that you know. ‫Say it. What is your
‫purpose for looking for me? ‫I want to say that I was
‫indeed at fault that day. ‫When? ‫I was at fault every
‫time but what I’m talking ‫about is that day when
‫I delivered the flowers. ‫Sorry. I am sincerely
‫apologizing to you. ‫Sorry. Please forgive me. ‫Forgive? Dream on. ‫Then what is it that you want
‫before you can forgive me? What do ‫I need to do before you can
‫resume your orders from li li’s shop? ‫I don’t know what you are
‫saying. Sorry, I’m very busy. ‫Hit me. ‫What? ‫Hit me to vent your anger. This way,
‫we won’t owe each other anything anymore. ‫You can then resume your
‫orders from li li’s flower shop. ‫Are you insane? ‫Hit me, hit me! ‫- Hit me!
‫- What are you doing? Let go! Let go!
