This step-shake I gave it to Princess of Glory Yes Every time Princess of Glory wears it the princess will smile so Princess of Glory gave it to me for the princess to play with Princess of Glory shall go too Yes Who arranged this?

I heard that His Majesty likes Yuan Min Yuan.
This is my first time to come here.
Oh yeah, young mistress, I heard that Concubine Duan has come too.
we don't even know what Concubine Duan looks like.
Concubine Duan has been sick for years It's been a long time since she has traveled with His Majesty.
what is this!!!!!!????? very good archery This is JIng Xi's wild pigeon.
It's famous for dexterous and nimble.
It is very hard to aim for one and succed in shooting it.
This person's archery skills are very precise.
Greetings Precious Wan Is His Majesty in the garden practicing his archery? Duke Guo came.
His Majesty and Duke Guo have worked together to shoot wild pigeons.
The real Duke Guo has finally come.
I heard from Liu Zhu that that day when his majesty and young mistress met, His Majesty has said to be Duke Guo now the name has returned to its real owner.
His Majesty's archery is very precise.
Duke Guo's archery skills are so good, that even His Majesty praises him.
It is said that Duke Guo is talented in literacy and art, I never knew that his archery skills are good too.
you don't know Duke Guo is talented in many things.
Xiao Xia Zhi, quicky bring this wild pigeon to His Majesty Also go tell His Majesty on my behalf, that I will go and say my greetings later.
I shall take my leave.
I remember, your archery skills, were taught by our Imperial Father.
Imperial Brothers archery skills were taught by Man Zhou's best archery master.
I am not smart enough.
Even though I was taught by our Imperial Father, I still could not master our Imperial Father's exact archery skills.
My teacher taught me archery skills, but what Imperial Father taught was father to son education.
Imperial Father really did dote you.
(Chinese Idiom) When God is about to place a great responsibility on a great man (Chinese Idiom) it always first frustrates his spirit and will Because Imperial Father spoiled me, I became a useless person.
You've become tired today.
Rest early.
I shall go back to Qing Zhen palace.
His Majesty takes his leave!!! Respectly send your majesty Greeting Your Majesty, you arrived.
Duke Guo, journeyed far away, and came back with this tea green-above-snow it really is good tea.
come and enjoy it with me.
Your Majesty is in a good mood today.
I heard this tea is only grown in rare parts of a snow mountain.
it is very hard to get.
There are only about ten tea trees in the world Because of the snow-broth's nourishing it tasts cool, superior Duke Guo has really worked hard.
Xiao Xia Zhi.
yes.
Set aside the other factors now that the weather is warm, bringing this teas back is very hard.
it is his intention that worth Your majesty said just now it is fine for this time If every year this happens then it would cost too much Duke is thoughtful, and your majesty has perspective Precious Smile this sentence is just on the point I heard that today His Majesty was very successful in playing archery with Duke Guo today.
how come now I don't see the Duke now? maybe he heard that Precious Wan your beauty is like a fairy's, so he run away to avoid arousing suspicion Precious Cao has oversaid my beauty.
Your Majesty doesn't to to worry much about the duke.
It must be that duke heard I was ugly so he hid to avoid me.
Listen, if she was ugly the others in the Inner Place would be more ugly Precious Wan is humble.
Your majesty don't listen to her joking now try this Green above Snow It really is good tea.
the scent is great and energizing.
Duke is certainly thoughtful I have heard that, the day your majesty and Precious Wan met, your majesty thought Precious Wan would be frightened, so your majesty used Duke Guo's name as his own, and played music along with Precious Wan.
That was what caused today's relationship it really is a nice story.
Precious Cao even knows this story, then his majesty must have told you himself.
I never said that.
Precious Cao heared this herself.
So Duke Guo is really the person who brought His Majesty and Precious Wan together.
Precious Wan should be thankful.
Many Royal families, and courtmen have heard about Duke Guo, and have anticipated their daughter or grandaughter to marry Prince Guo Has Precious Wan ever heard, of Duke Guo's name? Before I came into the Forbidden City, I was always kept home.
After I came into the Forbidden Palace, I never really did wander outside of my palce much, so I haven't heard of the Duke's famous name I must have really missed a lot of news.
His Majesty is awsome at literacy, and is very nice to us concubines and preciouses, Who knew, maybe his majesty had done the same thing to get close to you Princess Wen Yi must be hungry at this hour, Your Majesty, I'll go back and check it out now.
That is fine.
Ever since Princess Wen Yi recovered her health, she has been crying a lot lately.
Imperial Doctor Zhang has been checking Princess Wen YI to make sure she is healthy.
As he does that, ask him to see why Princess Wen YI has been crying so much .
Yes.
After Imperial Doctor Zhang has found the reason, I will inform His Majesty immediately.
This qin is a beloved object of the late Emperor's Princess of Su Before you came, I wanted someone to play it for me But Precious Cao -- Cao Qin Mo (mo means silent) -- just as her name is not good at it May I send someone to ask Mei Jiejie to come Mei jiejie play the qin so well Meizhuang is more proficient in melody than you but there's no feeling in her melody the instrument is good but it will be worthless if there's no feeling So you play it for me I'll play it for your majesty Wonderful the tone is so clear and melodious bluish waves and cool breeze, enjoy the tea and listen to the qin so enjoyable play Living in the Mountains I screw it up Please forgive me The sound was wonderful, but you were not concentrated You were thinking about other things I disappointed your majesty,, please forgive me It's your fist time to play this qin may not familiar with it, and can't be concentrated But I have another doubt I know your affection to me but I wonder when it begins Whom I see is the one in front of me no matter his fame and name Explain Your majesty enjoyed the xiao and flowers with me in the name of Duke Guo Even though I adored your talent but I thought you were duke so I was cautious and not dare to break the rules and get any closer to you After your majesty told me the truth your majesty has been very considerate to me not as the normal considerate as to the other concubines I treat your majesty not only as emperor but also as husband If I must tell you a certain time when my affection began My affection to your majesty began when your majesty helped me with Yushi's trouble I was flustered at that moment thought it was as easy as lift a finger to you but in my eyes your majesty was a hero helped me in need I'm not serious Please let me speak it all It may be a capital crime to offend your majesty I regard your majesty as the emperor but more than the Emperor I regard and love your majesty as my husband I know so I love you, too Huanhuan, today it's me oversensitive don't blame me Si Lang Young mistress, are you suspect that someone told the Precious Cao about the story of how you and your majesty met I'm just suspecting and have no evidence But such private thing only those who are close to young mistress know I also didn't know until today There's only Liuzhu knows this but Liuzhu came with you as a dowry maid I know Liuzhu has been with me for so many years I trust her right she can't get close to Cao Qinmo and betray me I think so Is it possible that Liuzhu speak it out unaware Is it possible that Liuzhu speak it out unaware the speaker is unaware, but the listener is aware So it goes orally then the Precious Cao heard it Only in this way can we explain Thanks to his majesty trust me if not, I may die without anywhere to bury me Right Except for his majesty's trust the other things are not important at all Niangniang, as your instructions I've instructed the kitchens to cut down the dishes and use more vegetable Fine, his majesty require the Inner Palace to be economical I have to set a good example Agreed, madam Princess of Glory and Princess of Regularity must follow these measures Only then would the others listen Madam is very brilliant I am not brilliant It was the Precious Shen's suggestion put forward in front of his majesty This credit I cannot steal from her.
Niang Niang, here are the dimsum snacks.
There seems to be fewer items Why is my favorite crabmeat pastry snack missing? The imperial kitchens say that the ingredients are too pricey The Empress has instructed them to not use such expensive ingredients anymore.
I can live with daily items being reduced But cutting even dim sum items is petty Please do not be angry Xing Palace cannot compare with the Palacebr / (Xing Palace (current location): Imperial temporary palace) The Empress has always been petty It's just a few of us How much can we spend? Lunch and Dinner both suck Cucumbers and other vegetables! I hate the sight of such food! My appetite is already poor in the summer.
With such food, I have an even less appetite Madam, even the Empress' palace is in the same situation.
It's that Lady Shen's fault She persuaded the Emperor She hasn't assistanted in managing the six palaces She has learnt to use a chicken feather as an arrow [gone vicious?.]
Song Zhi Take some cash Everyone can handle hardship Buy something for the maids Yes The freshly made plum soup is delicious better than the one in my palace Try it Big Sis, I don't like sour food Oops, poor memory I'll drink yours too Young mistress has 4 or 5 bowls before sleeping Be careful not to hurt your stomach You are right It's warm.
That's why this helps Yes, it's well made Who is this Fu Ling? A maid in Xing Palace She takes care of Young Miss Right Princess Wen Yi turns one next month on the 19th The Emperor wants a big celebration for the princess's birthday The Emperor is fond of the prince That's why he has seen the boy's mother often Huafei's dirt didn't affect her.
She's even more pleased than before Yes I heard about that This personjust a few words from her can make His Majesty doubt you.
She cannot be overlooked.
It's good the Emperor has forgotten No matter how much the Emperor loves one without a child, one is powerless Look at Huafei although she has power over the 6 inner palaces but she has no child All her power can be taken away just like that Without a child all your words ring hollow Big Sis, you are not like her Indeed we are not alike The Emperor has not been to visit Because of 3rd prince, he still sees them Even if you have a daughter the emperor also loves his daughters As long as you have a child You are recognised Happiness with the Emperor passes and one is discarded By my calculations, Big Sis, you've been with the Emperor a year Why no 'good news' yet? The emperor only visits a couple of times a month I've been busy with the accounts and learning from the Empress I haven't had time to concern myself [sigh.]
Maybe I'm barren Nonsense! Huafei has also not had a child We are still young There's lots of time We will have children galore and they will attend upon and please us.
Don't worry, Bis Sis.
I'm not afraid to share secrets with you Though it's the god's will to give birth to a prince the planning lies with man, the outcome with god We have to plan It's up to the Emperor if he wants to come, right? Who can affect that? You are imperial physician? Physician Jiang went home to mourn The imperial hospital specially sent me, Liu Ben to take Precious Shen's pulse.
My lady is inside.
Please wait.
Ok Look, I used every possible means to get this prescription from imperial physician Jiang.
If you follow these instructions, you will have a son You try the prescription too Which Dr.
Jiang told you? Are there any other Dr.
Jiangs? he's the best Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Jiang Cheng? His younger brother Jiang Shen is the imperial doctor who cares for Precious Cao and her daughter.
That's the guy.
Can we believe this prescription? Don't worry I was also worried so I sent many people to check his background.
It turns out that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen have different mothers and their mothers don't get along well so do them Otherwise, how would I dare use him? Use it without worries I also perused many medical books before deciding to use this prescription.
I don't like it Put the prescription away for now Only use it after we've asked Dr.
Wen Liu Zhu, go to the imperial hospital Check if Dr Wen is around Invite him over at once Young mistress the Lord Sun was badly ill He has had to leave on a case He lives in Sun's mansion Wen will come back only when Lord Sun get well When did he leave? Yesterday afternoon The old Lord Sun suddenly got ill so Dr.
Wen left in a hurry.
That's unfortunate Never mind I've already taken this twice I feel fine You don't need to ask him We're going to drag Dr.
Wen all the way here? I just saw an imperial doctor standing in the courtyard.
Since you have a visit from the imperial doctor, I won't disturb you anymore I will come to see you again tomorrow Liuzhu Servant pays respects to mistress Greetings to the Young Miss This imperial doctor looks very unfamiliar I've never seen you before It is my first visit to you From your speech, you seem to have a Ji Zhou accent Just several days ago, servant was transferred here from Ji Zhou.
We are from the same province It is my honour Fuling, go pour a pot of Longjing tea Yes It's Princess Wen Yi's birthday in half a month There are so few children Naturally we should have a grand celebration for her first birthday According to his Majesty's instruction, though we're not in the Royal Palace we can't make it simple It must be a huge exciting celebration This matter The Internal Affairs Bureau is on top of things Thank Your Majesty and Empress, Princess and I are eternally grateful.
You bore a daughter for the Emperor You deserve credit.
No need for thanks.
Having many children is a blessing for our country.
His Majesty doesn't have many children Sisters, please help share in this burden.
Yes, Empress His Majesty doesn't have many children but here is one, once we are here, Princess of Glory, don't violate the forbidden subject Others can violate it, but I can't Is a servant's child also fit to be a royal? 4th Prince's mother was indeed lowly but His Majesty's child is his child no matter what.
Just the same, brothers with 3rd Prince Is he fit? Enough, why are you talking about this? We have all been with His Majesty for a long time Even though you don't care of violating the forbiden subject what about his majesty's feelings? I dare not When you have time, go over lessons with 3rd Prince in case His Majesty starts testing him.
Many thanks for Niang Niang's concern Lately 3rd Prince has been very hardworking 3rd Prince is studying till late That's good 3rd prince is His Majesty's eldest son He should set a good example Hard-working is not enough maybe he is not as good as the lowly one When I was walking over, I saw 4th prince at the creek reading aloud It was much better than 3rd prince's.
Empress, tell me.
Li Jingui died early.
Who taught 4th Prince to be even more intelligent that the distinguished 3rd Prince? You! Princess of Glory, don't lose your propriety Princess Wen Yi is about to turn one Your rank should also be promoted But His Majesty said Now is the time to use military force,and there are a lot of difficulties.
We must wait until after the war has subsided to give you a glorious title ceremony.
It's not a rush Right, I'm appreciate his Majesty's kind intention with my heart But I'm lowly I don't dare to take this I only want to accompany Your Majesties I know you are reasonable His Majesty gives you a pair of white jade Ruyi to used as princess' pillow In a while, I will have someone bring them to you Thanks Empress Qiu Gugu! Why are you here? Why aren't you with your momos? They don't care about me Can I pay my respects to the Empress? Niang Niang just started resting Then can I pay respects to Imperial Father? Wait until he summons for you, ok? Men Escort 4th prince back Yes.
4th prince, please.
Niang Niang, this lotus is hard to peel.
Be careful not to hurt your hands.
I know His Majesty likes to eat lotus seeds so I will peel them myself.
In a while, stew some lily lotus soup for His Majesty to drink.
Niang Niang's sincerity towards His Majesty is priceless What's the use in sincerity? I have no offspring.
Niang Niang, just now 4th prince came over Why did he come? He wants to see the Emperor Forget it If the Emperor sees him, he will be reminded of the troublesome past again.
He will be upset again Actually, 4th prince's birth mother passed away early He's lonely and helpless, quite pitiful Do you mean that I should raise 4th prince? Servant thinks that if Niang Niang feels lonely without children, 4th prince is also a candidate.
4th prince is the Emperor's least favorite What's the use in raising him? Never mind that.
When the weather gets hot, my face starts sprouting pimples.
Look at this oneand this one! All right I think these pimples look good on your face A couple days ago, Jiejie's face had some pimples Now they've healed, so you make fun of me! Fine, then I won't make fun of you If you like, I can teach you a trick Liu Ben from the imperial hospital is from the same village as me When he came to check my pulse the other day, he gave me a home remedy Look, they've already healed But I've never heard of Liu Ben before He came from Ji Zhou just recently His medical skills are quite good Fellow-townsmen met Is he a decent person? I think he's pretty decent That's good For people serving us, medical skill is secondary.
Most important is an upright character with a clear history Of course You have a Wen Shichu Now I have a Liu Ben We complement each other Since Jiejie trusts this person, did you have him look at the prescription Jiang Cheng wrote last time? Yes He said it is indeed a good prescription Really? Respects to Niang Niang I thought that we were the only three taking a stroll outside.
I didn't think Precious Smile and Precious Shen were also taking one The weather is rarely this cool It's good that Wan Meimei is here I was just about to look for you Why do Jiejie look for me? Last time, I misspoke I even heard that it caused a disagreement between His Majesty and Meimei But I really had no ill will Now that I see you, I must apologize to Meimei.
It's not your fault I just talked a few words with his Majesty It's nothing major Meimei, you received the emperor's favor.
Since being the favoured one Chatting with the emperor is a common thing If it was someone else, it would be a big deal How can we compare with Precious Smile? Even though we want to talk with his majesty we can't get close Enough enough Why are we talking standing here? Come to my place to continue the chat I specially ordered a feast so I can apologize to you.
Here, I even invited Lingering Xin and Princess of Regularity as company.
Wan Meimei, you must do me the pleasure Precious Shen I hear you play the [chinese instrument.]
well It is said: when the host is cultured, guests frequent his house.
But a host as me I don't have your talents So I must ask Please come and play us some music Thanks for your invitation Young mistress, the plum soup has cooled Ladies, please try the soup You just served us meat and fish Now you're cleaning our greasy mouth You are so thoughtful What happened, Precious Shen? Maybe I ate too much white trotter and felt ill Ill? You were fine just now Why would you be nauseous now? How long have you felt nauseous? Lately the weather has been blistering hot I've felt this way for about a week You may be pregnant Let me ask you Have you had your period this month? I We are all sisters, don't be shy Quickly tell us! It's late by half a month It's quite certain then Princess of Regularity, don't you think? Any other symptoms? Do you feel lethargic? Like you don't want to budge for days? Or weird cravings for spicy food? Get the doctor! Yes I want Dr Liu Ben Yes You are here first, Your Majesty Is it true Lady Shen is pregnant? I have only just heard and don't know the detail, to avoid mistake I've ordered the servant to fetch the record from the House of Respectful Affairs Let's go in together Emperor arrives - Greetings Your Majesty and Empress br- Sit sit Is it true? Imperial doctor, did you confirm that she's really pregnant? I congratulate Your majesties Young mistress is indeed pregnant, and has been for about a month All rise Thanks Your Majesty Jian Qiu, bring me the records Your Majesty, look Served by Precious Shen, March 16th The date matches up Where is Lady Shen's personal maid? Reporting for duty, Your Majesty You two are close maids of Precious Shen She is pregnant and must take special care You are to send a report of her condition every morning Yes The Empress is most thoughtful Since Lady Shen is pregnant should we appoint a dependable doctor to take care of her? Your Majesty, the one who just came to take my pulse is Liu Ben from the imperial hospital.
I feel he suits me fine We are also from the same province Let him be in charge That's good Your health is of paramount importance Look after yourself You must not have any mishaps Yes I've been negligent Your Majesties have been here all this time and I haven't served you any tea.
I was simply too happy to remember my manners I'm getting thirsty What would you like? I knocked over a bowl of plum soup I'm still thinking of sour plum soup Quickly, the soup! Yes, yes, yes, we do have it If Meimei likes it I will tell them to send it to you everyday Precious Cao is sooooo thoughtful Bring the plum soup Your majesties must be thirsty Other people are okay Remember Precious Wan does not like sour food Add some sugar in hers Yes Thank you for your kindness Thank you for watching! brPlease join us!

This qin is a beloved object of the late Emperor's Princess of Su Before you came, I wanted someone to play it for me But Precious Cao -- Cao Qin Mo (mo means silent) -- just as her name is not good at it May I send someone to ask Mei Jiejie to come Mei jiejie play the qin so well Meizhuang is more proficient in melody than you but there's no feeling in her melody the instrument is good but it will be worthless if there's no feeling So you play it for me I'll play it for your majesty Wonderful the tone is so clear and melodious bluish waves and cool breeze, enjoy the tea and listen to the qin so enjoyable play Living in the Mountains I screw it up Please forgive me The sound was wonderful, but you were not concentrated You were thinking about other things I disappointed your majesty,, please forgive me It's your fist time to play this qin may not familiar with it, and can't be concentrated But I have another doubt I know your affection to me but I wonder when it begins Whom I see is the one in front of me no matter his fame and name Explain Your majesty enjoyed the xiao and flowers with me in the name of Duke Guo Even though I adored your talent but I thought you were duke so I was cautious and not dare to break the rules and get any closer to you After your majesty told me the truth your majesty has been very considerate to me not as the normal considerate as to the other concubines I treat your majesty not only as emperor but also as husband If I must tell you a certain time when my affection began My affection to your majesty began when your majesty helped me with Yushi's trouble I was flustered at that moment thought it was as easy as lift a finger to you but in my eyes your majesty was a hero helped me in need I'm not serious Please let me speak it all It may be a capital crime to offend your majesty I regard your majesty as the emperor but more than the Emperor I regard and love your majesty as my husband I know so I love you, too Huanhuan, today it's me oversensitive don't blame me Si Lang Young mistress, are you suspect that someone told the Precious Cao about the story of how you and your majesty met I'm just suspecting and have no evidence But such private thing only those who are close to young mistress know I also didn't know until today There's only Liuzhu knows this but Liuzhu came with you as a dowry maid I know Liuzhu has been with me for so many years I trust her right she can't get close to Cao Qinmo and betray me I think so Is it possible that Liuzhu speak it out unaware Is it possible that Liuzhu speak it out unaware the speaker is unaware, but the listener is aware So it goes orally then the Precious Cao heard it Only in this way can we explain Thanks to his majesty trust me if not, I may die without anywhere to bury me Right Except for his majesty's trust the other things are not important at all Niangniang, as your instructions I've instructed the kitchens to cut down the dishes and use more vegetable Fine, his majesty require the Inner Palace to be economical I have to set a good example Agreed, madam Princess of Glory and Princess of Regularity must follow these measures Only then would the others listen Madam is very brilliant I am not brilliant It was the Precious Shen's suggestion put forward in front of his majesty This credit I cannot steal from her.
Niang Niang, here are the dimsum snacks.
There seems to be fewer items Why is my favorite crabmeat pastry snack missing? The imperial kitchens say that the ingredients are too pricey The Empress has instructed them to not use such expensive ingredients anymore.
I can live with daily items being reduced But cutting even dim sum items is petty Please do not be angry Xing Palace cannot compare with the Palacebr / (Xing Palace (current location): Imperial temporary palace) The Empress has always been petty It's just a few of us How much can we spend? Lunch and Dinner both suck Cucumbers and other vegetables! I hate the sight of such food! My appetite is already poor in the summer.
With such food, I have an even less appetite Madam, even the Empress' palace is in the same situation.
It's that Lady Shen's fault She persuaded the Emperor She hasn't assistanted in managing the six palaces She has learnt to use a chicken feather as an arrow [gone vicious?.]
Song Zhi Take some cash Everyone can handle hardship Buy something for the maids Yes The freshly made plum soup is delicious better than the one in my palace Try it Big Sis, I don't like sour food Oops, poor memory I'll drink yours too Young mistress has 4 or 5 bowls before sleeping Be careful not to hurt your stomach You are right It's warm.
That's why this helps Yes, it's well made Who is this Fu Ling? A maid in Xing Palace She takes care of Young Miss Right Princess Wen Yi turns one next month on the 19th The Emperor wants a big celebration for the princess's birthday The Emperor is fond of the prince That's why he has seen the boy's mother often Huafei's dirt didn't affect her.
She's even more pleased than before Yes I heard about that This personjust a few words from her can make His Majesty doubt you.
She cannot be overlooked.
It's good the Emperor has forgotten No matter how much the Emperor loves one without a child, one is powerless Look at Huafei although she has power over the 6 inner palaces but she has no child All her power can be taken away just like that Without a child all your words ring hollow Big Sis, you are not like her Indeed we are not alike The Emperor has not been to visit Because of 3rd prince, he still sees them Even if you have a daughter the emperor also loves his daughters As long as you have a child You are recognised Happiness with the Emperor passes and one is discarded By my calculations, Big Sis, you've been with the Emperor a year Why no 'good news' yet? The emperor only visits a couple of times a month I've been busy with the accounts and learning from the Empress I haven't had time to concern myself [sigh.]
Maybe I'm barren Nonsense! Huafei has also not had a child We are still young There's lots of time We will have children galore and they will attend upon and please us.
Don't worry, Bis Sis.
I'm not afraid to share secrets with you Though it's the god's will to give birth to a prince the planning lies with man, the outcome with god We have to plan It's up to the Emperor if he wants to come, right? Who can affect that? You are imperial physician? Physician Jiang went home to mourn The imperial hospital specially sent me, Liu Ben to take Precious Shen's pulse.
My lady is inside.
Please wait.
Ok Look, I used every possible means to get this prescription from imperial physician Jiang.
If you follow these instructions, you will have a son You try the prescription too Which Dr.
Jiang told you? Are there any other Dr.
Jiangs? he's the best Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Jiang Cheng? His younger brother Jiang Shen is the imperial doctor who cares for Precious Cao and her daughter.
That's the guy.
Can we believe this prescription? Don't worry I was also worried so I sent many people to check his background.
It turns out that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen have different mothers and their mothers don't get along well so do them Otherwise, how would I dare use him? Use it without worries I also perused many medical books before deciding to use this prescription.
I don't like it Put the prescription away for now Only use it after we've asked Dr.
Wen Liu Zhu, go to the imperial hospital Check if Dr Wen is around Invite him over at once Young mistress the Lord Sun was badly ill He has had to leave on a case He lives in Sun's mansion Wen will come back only when Lord Sun get well When did he leave? Yesterday afternoon The old Lord Sun suddenly got ill so Dr.
Wen left in a hurry.
That's unfortunate Never mind I've already taken this twice I feel fine You don't need to ask him We're going to drag Dr.
Wen all the way here? I just saw an imperial doctor standing in the courtyard.
Since you have a visit from the imperial doctor, I won't disturb you anymore I will come to see you again tomorrow Liuzhu Servant pays respects to mistress Greetings to the Young Miss This imperial doctor looks very unfamiliar I've never seen you before It is my first visit to you From your speech, you seem to have a Ji Zhou accent Just several days ago, servant was transferred here from Ji Zhou.
We are from the same province It is my honour Fuling, go pour a pot of Longjing tea Yes It's Princess Wen Yi's birthday in half a month There are so few children Naturally we should have a grand celebration for her first birthday According to his Majesty's instruction, though we're not in the Royal Palace we can't make it simple It must be a huge exciting celebration This matter The Internal Affairs Bureau is on top of things Thank Your Majesty and Empress, Princess and I are eternally grateful.
You bore a daughter for the Emperor You deserve credit.
No need for thanks.
Having many children is a blessing for our country.
His Majesty doesn't have many children Sisters, please help share in this burden.
Yes, Empress His Majesty doesn't have many children but here is one, once we are here, Princess of Glory, don't violate the forbidden subject Others can violate it, but I can't Is a servant's child also fit to be a royal? 4th Prince's mother was indeed lowly but His Majesty's child is his child no matter what.
Just the same, brothers with 3rd Prince Is he fit? Enough, why are you talking about this? We have all been with His Majesty for a long time Even though you don't care of violating the forbiden subject what about his majesty's feelings? I dare not When you have time, go over lessons with 3rd Prince in case His Majesty starts testing him.
Many thanks for Niang Niang's concern Lately 3rd Prince has been very hardworking 3rd Prince is studying till late That's good 3rd prince is His Majesty's eldest son He should set a good example Hard-working is not enough maybe he is not as good as the lowly one When I was walking over, I saw 4th prince at the creek reading aloud It was much better than 3rd prince's.
Empress, tell me.
Li Jingui died early.
Who taught 4th Prince to be even more intelligent that the distinguished 3rd Prince? You! Princess of Glory, don't lose your propriety Princess Wen Yi is about to turn one Your rank should also be promoted But His Majesty said Now is the time to use military force,and there are a lot of difficulties.
We must wait until after the war has subsided to give you a glorious title ceremony.
It's not a rush Right, I'm appreciate his Majesty's kind intention with my heart But I'm lowly I don't dare to take this I only want to accompany Your Majesties I know you are reasonable His Majesty gives you a pair of white jade Ruyi to used as princess' pillow In a while, I will have someone bring them to you Thanks Empress Qiu Gugu! Why are you here? Why aren't you with your momos? They don't care about me Can I pay my respects to the Empress? Niang Niang just started resting Then can I pay respects to Imperial Father? Wait until he summons for you, ok? Men Escort 4th prince back Yes.
4th prince, please.
Niang Niang, this lotus is hard to peel.
Be careful not to hurt your hands.
I know His Majesty likes to eat lotus seeds so I will peel them myself.
In a while, stew some lily lotus soup for His Majesty to drink.
Niang Niang's sincerity towards His Majesty is priceless What's the use in sincerity? I have no offspring.
Niang Niang, just now 4th prince came over Why did he come? He wants to see the Emperor Forget it If the Emperor sees him, he will be reminded of the troublesome past again.
He will be upset again Actually, 4th prince's birth mother passed away early He's lonely and helpless, quite pitiful Do you mean that I should raise 4th prince? Servant thinks that if Niang Niang feels lonely without children, 4th prince is also a candidate.
4th prince is the Emperor's least favorite What's the use in raising him? Never mind that.
When the weather gets hot, my face starts sprouting pimples.
Look at this oneand this one! All right I think these pimples look good on your face A couple days ago, Jiejie's face had some pimples Now they've healed, so you make fun of me! Fine, then I won't make fun of you If you like, I can teach you a trick Liu Ben from the imperial hospital is from the same village as me When he came to check my pulse the other day, he gave me a home remedy Look, they've already healed But I've never heard of Liu Ben before He came from Ji Zhou just recently His medical skills are quite good Fellow-townsmen met Is he a decent person? I think he's pretty decent That's good For people serving us, medical skill is secondary.
Most important is an upright character with a clear history Of course You have a Wen Shichu Now I have a Liu Ben We complement each other Since Jiejie trusts this person, did you have him look at the prescription Jiang Cheng wrote last time? Yes He said it is indeed a good prescription Really? Respects to Niang Niang I thought that we were the only three taking a stroll outside.
I didn't think Precious Smile and Precious Shen were also taking one The weather is rarely this cool It's good that Wan Meimei is here I was just about to look for you Why do Jiejie look for me? Last time, I misspoke I even heard that it caused a disagreement between His Majesty and Meimei But I really had no ill will Now that I see you, I must apologize to Meimei.
It's not your fault I just talked a few words with his Majesty It's nothing major Meimei, you received the emperor's favor.
Since being the favoured one Chatting with the emperor is a common thing If it was someone else, it would be a big deal How can we compare with Precious Smile? Even though we want to talk with his majesty we can't get close Enough enough Why are we talking standing here? Come to my place to continue the chat I specially ordered a feast so I can apologize to you.
Here, I even invited Lingering Xin and Princess of Regularity as company.
Wan Meimei, you must do me the pleasure Precious Shen I hear you play the [chinese instrument.]
well It is said: when the host is cultured, guests frequent his house.
But a host as me I don't have your talents So I must ask Please come and play us some music Thanks for your invitation Young mistress, the plum soup has cooled Ladies, please try the soup You just served us meat and fish Now you're cleaning our greasy mouth You are so thoughtful What happened, Precious Shen? Maybe I ate too much white trotter and felt ill Ill? You were fine just now Why would you be nauseous now? How long have you felt nauseous? Lately the weather has been blistering hot I've felt this way for about a week You may be pregnant Let me ask you Have you had your period this month? I We are all sisters, don't be shy Quickly tell us! It's late by half a month It's quite certain then Princess of Regularity, don't you think? Any other symptoms? Do you feel lethargic? Like you don't want to budge for days? Or weird cravings for spicy food? Get the doctor! Yes I want Dr Liu Ben Yes You are here first, Your Majesty Is it true Lady Shen is pregnant? I have only just heard and don't know the detail, to avoid mistake I've ordered the servant to fetch the record from the House of Respectful Affairs Let's go in together Emperor arrives - Greetings Your Majesty and Empress br- Sit sit Is it true? Imperial doctor, did you confirm that she's really pregnant? I congratulate Your majesties Young mistress is indeed pregnant, and has been for about a month All rise Thanks Your Majesty Jian Qiu, bring me the records Your Majesty, look Served by Precious Shen, March 16th The date matches up Where is Lady Shen's personal maid? Reporting for duty, Your Majesty You two are close maids of Precious Shen She is pregnant and must take special care You are to send a report of her condition every morning Yes The Empress is most thoughtful Since Lady Shen is pregnant should we appoint a dependable doctor to take care of her? Your Majesty, the one who just came to take my pulse is Liu Ben from the imperial hospital.
I feel he suits me fine We are also from the same province Let him be in charge That's good Your health is of paramount importance Look after yourself You must not have any mishaps Yes I've been negligent Your Majesties have been here all this time and I haven't served you any tea.
I was simply too happy to remember my manners I'm getting thirsty What would you like? I knocked over a bowl of plum soup I'm still thinking of sour plum soup Quickly, the soup! Yes, yes, yes, we do have it If Meimei likes it I will tell them to send it to you everyday Precious Cao is sooooo thoughtful Bring the plum soup Your majesties must be thirsty Other people are okay Remember Precious Wan does not like sour food Add some sugar in hers Yes Thank you for your kindness Thank you for watching! brPlease join us!
