Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

Here, Crown Princess Consort.

- Call the Imperial Physician! - Yes.

She is most likely pregnant.

You do not have to be shy.

Being pregnant is a natural occurrence.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

You are just continuing the family line.

Thinking of it...

Your child, what will we name him?

Responding to Grand Empress Dowager.

Crown Princess Consort's stomach was just exposed to cold

and then she drank thick deer porridge, thus she felt nauseous.

She is not pregnant?

No, she is not pregnant.

You are dismissed. Dismissed.

The crown prince? Call him here!

Responding to Grand Empress Dowager. Today is the First Celestial Bodies Grand Ceremony.

His Highness the Crown Prince has entered the Fasting Palace today.

Enter what Fasting Palace?

There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is having no children. Does he not understand this?

When His Imperial Father was his age, he already had two sons.

- But him? He is twenty already. - Yes.

Wasn't Related Lady of Excellence Zhao always with him before?

How come they didn't get to have a son or a daughter?

That Lady of Precious Bevy Xu finally got pregnant,

but then the child was suddenly gone just like that.

What should we do?

When will I...

be able to hold my great-great-grandchild?

- I have no more hope. - Imperial Great-Grandmother, calm your anger down.

I am so anxious. Prepare the carriage for the Eastern Palace.

Greetings to Imperial Great-Grandmother.

You bathed and scented yourself already?

Yes.

Then that is good.

Someone come. Bring Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort

now to the main bedchamber and lock them there.

Without my orders, no one

is allowed to let them out.

Imperial Great-Grandmother!

Why? Imperial Great-Grandmother, why?

- Go. Go. - Imperial Great-Grandmother!

You are... Yongniang!

- Imperial Great-Grandmother! Imperial Great-Grandmother! - Let's go. - Go!

Imperial Great-Grandmother! Imperial Great-Grandmother!

- Imperial Great-Grandmother! - Imperial Great-Grandmother!

- Let us out! - Imperial Great-Grandmother!

Is there anyone there?

Despicable.

Who are you calling despicable?

What right do you have to curse me?

If it was not for you reporting me to Imperial Great-Grandmother,

would she lock the two of us together?

Greetings, Empress.

Greetings to Imperial Grandmother.

I heard that you locked up the crown prince and the crown princess consort.

What wrong did the two of them commit?

They did not commit any wrong.

I just wanted to hold a great-great-grandchild soon.

Empress, do you not want to hold a grandchild?

Of course, I want one.

But the First Celestial Bodies Grand Ceremony will start soon.

If Crown Prince does not attend, it would seem as if he does not want to follow the customs passed down from our ancestors.

Then is the First Celestial Bodies Grand Ceremony important or an heir more important?

If you ask me,

have this year's First Celestial Bodies Grand Ceremony

go forward with just the emperor.

- But— - But what?

Is what I said wrong?

Of course, you are the imperial harem's master.

With me doing this, it seems like...

seems like I have overstepped my powers, right?

Then fine. I will personally go and open the doors for them

and let them out. Come.

Okay, okay already. No need for you to go.

Grand Empress Dowager,

what I have said is wrong then. Okay?

What you have said is right. A descendant is more important.

You can lock them away for however long you wish.

As long as you are happy.

I will handle the matters with His Imperial Majesty.

That is more like it.

Letting us go now? Hey!

How come you left again?! Don't go!

Yongniang!

Yongniang! A'Du! Are you two out there?

Let us see what delicious food there is to eat.

Fragrant.

Tastes good.

Are you not cold sitting there?

I'm not. Don't come over here. Don't come.

Why are you sweating so much?

Are you sick?

Do not touch me.

The porridge has medicine. There is medicine.

There is medicine in the porridge?

What medicine?

Xiaofeng.

Think of your Sese! The one you like is Related Lady Excellence Zhao!

You must restrain yourself for her.

You cannot betray her and do her wrong!

You are my wife. This doesn't count as wronging her.

It has already been the two incense stick's time.

There is no rush.

I am going to get the Grand Empress Dowager.

How do I untie this? Why can't I untie it?

It is not what you think, Imperial Great-Grandmother!

This is more like it.

It's not what you think!

Imperial Great Grandmother has not seen anything.

We did not see anything at all. That's more like it.

No, Imperial Great-Grandmother!

It is not what you think! Imperial Great-Grandmother!

- Open the door! - Imperial Great-Grandmother!

Imperial Great-Grandmother!

Imperial Great-Grandmother, I am begging you!

Open the door, Imperial Great-Grandmother!

Imperial Great-Grandmother!

You are going to stifle me to death!

How come you wore such light clothing?

There is no live fire in this room either. Do you want to die from freezing?

I am not going there.

Do not worry. I will not do anything to you.

Open the door! Open the door!

Open the door! Open the door!

Do not leave!

- Open the door! - Open the door!

Imperial Great-Grandmother!

Grand Empress Dowager,

it is cold and freezing outside.

How about we give Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort a furnace?

It cannot be a good thing if they freeze.

Send what furnace?

Won't they be warm from each other's body heat?

Is there any use for a furnace?

Throw out a card.

My Lady.

Today, I heard that the Grand Empress Dowager wants a great-grandchild,

so she locked the crown prince and the crown princess consort together,

and is not allowing anyone to let them out.

I also heard that

they put that kind of medicine in their porridge.

I am guessing, that the crown prince will have a very hard time restraining himself.

My Lady, say, if this time,

the crown prince and the crown princess consort really do have a son,

then My Lady...

Jin'er,

I originally thought that as long as His Highness the Crown Prince had only me in his heart,

I wouldn't need to worry about my position in the Eastern Palace.

But now, I realized

that in their eyes,

I am just a concubine.

Even if I bear a prince for the crown prince,

he would only be a concubine's son.

Only once I have become the real mistress of the Eastern Palace

will I be able to not worry about protecting my position.

My Lady, eat slower.

My Lady, eat slower.

Let me ask you. Your two best friends are going to get married soon.

Should you not be happy for them?

But judging by your expression when Imperial Father bestowed their wedding,

you had not an ounce of happiness on your face.

Do you have some sort of other thoughts?

If the two of them were a normal man and woman having an affinity towards each other,

then, of course, I would be happy for them.

But just because of a royal decree,

they have to be together.

If one person does not even have the power to choose their own marriage,

then they will have remorse in the future.

How do you know they will not be happy in the future?

A forcefully gotten melon doesn't mean it won't be sweet.

For example, you and I. You obviously have someone else in your heart, but you're locked up with me.

Can your heart be joyful?

We are different from them.

That is right. We are different from them.

We are even more pitiful than them.

I came to Li Empire for a marriage alliance,

so I know that even though you hate me,

I still must be your crown princess consort.

I must still appear together with you and be an example for everyone in Li Empire.

Actually, I...

Act... Actually, I...

I...

I...

What do you want to do? You're not at it again, right?

Empress, do you find the action of Grand Empress Dowager

forcing His Highness the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort to have a child as inappropriate?

An old child, an old child.

Grand Empress Dowager's attitude lately has become more and more like a child's.

Even His Imperial Majesty must follow her wishes.

We can't disobey her wishes.

It is just a pity for my Chengyin.

Actually, this is a good thing, too.

If Empress becomes an imperial grandmother,

you can tempt your grandchild with candy and add some fun to your life.

Plus, when the child is born,

the position of the crown prince

in the palace will be more stable.

You're right.

If he really had a child,
