Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

Princess

Princess what are you thinking about?

Yesterday, how did I get back?

Princess, you were out all night.

I asked General Pei to help find you.

General Pei found you in the Imperial Kitchen.

The Imperial Room?

General saw that you were completely drunk so he carried you back.

Princess, in the future, you must not sneak out of Lanyue Pavilion.

Was there anyone other than General Pei?

Not really. What's wrong, Princess?

Nothing. Nothing.

Then, I go prepare, now.

Go ahead.

Sorry.

I won't go out alone next time.

I will bring you wherever I go. Cheer up. Smile!

Your Highness, these are all the items brought back from the Western Border.

It's just a bunch of knickknacks. What brought you to think of these?

The Ninth Princess is from the Xi State,

I just wanted to see if there's anything to give her.

To ease her homesickness.

Ninth Princess?

I will take my leave now.

Alright.

Your Imperial Highness, how are you?

Why did you come?

Do you still remember that you were supposed to go out with me yesterday?

I waited all night, yet you didn't come. I was afraid you were unwell,

so I came to visit.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Imperial Mother called for me yesterday.

I forgot to tell you. Sorry, Se Se.

Ok, I feel a lot better.

What is this? It looks so unique.

It's a wolf teeth I brought back from the Western Borders, it's an ominous item.

I'm not afraid of anything ominous.

My father is the Duke of Zhenbei, and has taken control of Dan Chi.

I am considered half Dan Chi.

This suits me just right.

Why don't you give this to me?

What's good about a wolf tooth? I'll give you a hairpin another day.

Just take it as an apology for you missing out on our plans yesterday.

Ok. If you like it, I'll gift it to you.

This counts as the first present you gave me.

Can you put it on me?

Ok.

Miluo Wine Store

Hello Patron, is this your first time to our store?

Come, welcome inside.

All right.

Ming Yu is here, come sit inside.

Ming Yu, why are you here? Didn't I just take you back home?

I knew you will be here to drink.

So I came over to pay the bill for you in order to avoid you causing troubles to Mi Luo.

Ming Yu cares about me the most.

All right, you two chat.

What if we chat more tomorrow?

Mi Luo will close shop soon. I will take you back first.

Don't rush. Since I am here I will have a drink with you.

Ming..Yu.

Yen'er.

Dad.

Dad.

Xiaofeng, your gourd of wine smells really good.

Did you secretly leave the palace again?

This is a new fermentation of wine I received from a friend.

Later, I will bury it under the plum blossom tree.

Next Spring, I'll dig it out to drink. Very savory!

Luoxi, what do you have here? Don't touch it.

Don't even try to fight with her about this. She treasures this box very much.

What is stored in here? Let me see.

Do you know what day it is today?

Today... It's the 7th.

You're right, the 7th is the "People's Day."

Every year on this date, there will be a festival to reward all the officials.

Besides sharing poetry to enlighten the mood, you also have to cut ribbons.

What is that?

Careful! I won't ruin it.

So pretty! What is this flower?

It's a hibiscus. - Hibiscus.

Who made this? - Of course it is the one who is good with her hands, Sister Luoxi.

In every year's ribbon cutting event, Luoxi is always first place.

Of course, this year is no different.

This is great grandma's favorite.

I do this to entertain great grandmother.

How come I didn't know that you learned these crafty techniques

to stand out in great grandmother's eyes?

You...

I thought you had ulterior motives. - The proverb directly translates to "the intention of the drunkard was not the wine itself."

Xiaofeng, help me punish her!

Don't run! Where are you running Yuning?

Quick, punish her! Come here! Yuning, don't run!

Don't run! Luoxi, quick!

Quick, come here! Slow down!

Slow down! Yuning, stop running!

Three princesses. General Pei.

General Pei, are you ok?

I am alright.

General Pei, last time I got drunk in the Imperial Kitchen, it was you who found me.

I haven't had a chance to thank you yet!

Since Princess Luoxi is here, I'll have Princess Luoxi thank you for me.

Princess, please do not joke around.

Keep it safe! This is Princess Luoxi's handkerchief.

This will be our payment.

Thank you, princess.

Are you happy? Are you happy? Are you happy?

You're annoying! You're annoying!

Stop right there.

Your Imperial Highness, why are you standing here?

Give me the handkerchief.

Give it to me!

Luoxi....

I wanted to use a handkerchief. Now I don't need it.

Here.

Your Imperial Highness, you are alright?

I'm fine.

Stop!

What are you holding?

Prince Yi,

I just wanted to bury this wine under the Plum Blossom Tree.

Ninth Princess. How long ago was it that you got drunk in the Imperial Kitchen?

Is your addiction for alcohol acting up again?

You know about this matter too?

Half the palace knows about it! Aren't you embarrassed?

Did you see what I looked like while drunk?

I didn't.

Then how did you know I am in an awkward position?

If I were you, I wouldn't even have a place to hide in shame.

Weird.

You really weren't there?

I definitely saw you that night...

Perhaps, you dreamt of me that night?

I'm glad it was just a dream.

I'm glad it was a dream, but why would I dream of him？

Miss Zhao！

Miss Zhao, what are you wearing on your neck？

Can you let me take a look？

This is my treasure, I don't want to show others.

I won't steal yours. Just take a look.

This...it isn't convenient.

I'm just going to take a lo— Ninth princess, Se Se will leave first.

Ah Du!

Ah Du, hurry.

Sit. Let me tell you

Today, I saw a wolf tooth on Miss Zhao.

If it's mine, then why is it on her body?

Maybe I knew her before?

I don't think so.

You are saying, this wolf tooth might not be mine?

I was standing a little far, so I can't be sure either.

I should find a chance to clear everything up.

Dad.

Here.

Dad,

That day I saw that you were drinking with Brother Gu.

When did you guys meet each other?

Is it recently?

Brother Gu didn't tell me about it.

Twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago?

Twenty years ago.

That day.

I was trapped inside the army camp.

When I found out.

Gao people already send people to Gu residence to capture them.

My subordinate risk his life to save me and got me out.

But when I arrive Gu residence.

Discovered that the only survivor.

Is Gu Jiang.

Why?

Why after you escape.

You didn't come home to look for mom and myself?

Didn't you though that time we...

You did though of it.

Did you though of it?

You though of it but didn't come to rescue us.

That day.

Our entire family of over scores of people were buried alive.

Mother was protecting beneath the yellow earth.

At her last breathe she was still telling me.

Yen'er, don't be afraid.

Yen'er don't be afraid.

Your father will come to save you.

Where were you at that time?

The Gu family is important to you.

So mother and I are not important to you ?

We are actually your family.

I am sorry.

I have a reason and difficulty.

Difficulty?

Are you right to abandon your wife and child for this difficulty?

Yen'er.

Yen'er.

Mr. Chai,

my father Chen Zheng already died twenty years ago.

I lived by myself for this long already.

I can live on my own in the future as well.

I don't need a home.
