Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

~ Goodbye My Princess ~

Episode 13

Look over there! My second and fifth brother are there, too.

They are probably playing winding stream party.

Winding what party? -Winding stream party

It's a Li Empire tradition.

After the Spring Bathing ritual, everyone will sit by the river banks.

A wine glass will be placed upstream and it will follow the current down.

Whoever it stops at will have to drink the wine

and make a poem.

Make a poem?

Yes, it's really fun.

Let's all go.

No no no.

I can’t even read the poems Fang Shanghai tells me to read.

Forget about making poems

That doesn’t matter, it’s just a game. Who ever loses needs to drink alcohol as a punishment.

There alcohol?!

Second bother! Fifth brother!

Greetings, all the poets, do you need help?

You guys, came just at the right time,

Now there’s finally enough people

I don’t know how to... -Don’t worry, it’s fine

Don't worry. We'll follow the rules but you can do as you like. Just make sure it rhymes.

Right, right, right, second brother already spoke, just play with us.

If you really can’t make the poem, just let second brother take the punishment for you.

How about we set a theme,

For this round, the top line will involve the weather and scenery.

The bottom line will be plants and animals

Okay! This is good.

Ok, everyone go to your spots.

Late rain just stopped, the sun suddenly shines,

Hiring a boat to visit old friend at Peony town.

Hanging high is the sail of sunset colors,

The fast rowing oars cover the sound of pelicans.

The fast rowing oars cover the sound of pelicans?

Sweeping over the water and many mountains,

A golden carp to steam in the kitchen.

Rivers keep flowing but people have grown old,

The fortune teller makes false boast.

I'm not wrong. Wasn't it seven words?

I'll just drink another glass then.

Good alcohol tolerance, Princess.

Scenes of fireworks in front of my eyes,

the story of Geese Villa is still told.

Romantic dreams recall the meaning of March,

My daughter and son help me forget life's regrets.

Fragments of paper can't dance together,

Lotus flowers only bloom in pairs.

destiny will make enemies meet

-Luoxi - Yongning, did I embarrass myself?

Don't worry about it. It's only a game. Don't take it to heart.

That's right. When Yongning first started making poems,

she was punished multiple times.

- You're making fun of me. - The 7-word poetry is indeed difficult.

When I learned how to make poems at age six, it took me a whole month to learn.

Ninth princess just came to the Li empire, the more you stay,

I constantly heard it, so naturally I learned it.

You only took one month to learn how to make poems at age six?

You act like your so amazing.

Yongning, don't say anymore.

Why are you stopping me.

I'll take my leave now.

Don't target her every time you see her.

She is just a dancers daughter, being spoiled since she was young, so annoying.

I brought this back for you from the guard's station.

Keep it safe.

Ah Du, life in the palace is different form the outside world.

We, servants need to think about our masters at all time.

The ninth princess is the future crown princess, you are somebody by her side.

Naturally, there will be many pairs of eyes on you, watching your every move.

If you say or do anything out of order, it may implicate the princess.

I know you are a good child

You should know what to do.

That one, that one looks good

What are they playing?

Xiao Feng, since you are from Xi State, you should know how to shoot arrows, right?

This time, we are definity winning!

Good!

Is there any punishments or rewards for losing or winning?

Of course, after a round ends,

The one who hits the least is punished to go into the pond to remove the arrows.

Let's go!

Wow!

Amazing!

She's so good!

The yellow arrow won.

I won!

The person that shot the arrow. Red arrow.

She's wearing that?

Right. Can she even do it?

Miss, be careful.

Hey.

Boats look like this? I've never seen one before.

Are you serious?

Xiaofeng!

-Xiaofeng! - Miss!

Xiaofeng, be careful! - Miss!

- Xiaofeng! - Miss! - Someone help!

-Miss! - Someone save them! - Some help! Xiaofeng!

- Help me! - Xiaofeng!

Second brother, I think someone fell into the water.

Miss!

Help me!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Ninth Princess, are you alright?

Miss, are you alright?

- Miss - Yongning, bring Xiaofeng back quickly.

Okay. Xiaofeng, let's go.

Thank goodness they were saved.

Seriously, the Ninth princess..

Right!

That was dangerous!

Thank goodness that everyone is alright.

Thank goodness nothing happened.

That was so dangerous!

What was she thinking?

Who knows what she's thinking?

Your Highness.

Thank goodness nothing happened.

So dangerous!

Thanks, Your Highness.

Hurry and put this on.

Fifth brother, you have good water skills.

Thank goodness you were able to save the Ninth princess in time.

Your Highnesses, what happened?

Xiaofeng, fell into the water.

Fell into the water?

How did she fall in?

She jumped onto the boat and

lost her footing.

Thankfully, my fifth brother was able to save her since he has sharp eyes and quick hands

Prince Yi

Ah Du, go sleep for a little.

Princess, you're awake.

Water...

I'll go pour you some now.

Ah Du

did I know Prince Yi from before.

Why did he save me today

instead of Miss Zhao?

Here's water.

Your Highness just caught a cold this time.

Since you practiced martial arts at a young age and have a healthier body compared to other people,

you should have recovered by now.

Your highness, I dare to ask

Did you previously suffer from an extreme cold

or had any internal injuries?

When he pursued the remainders of Dan Chi's troops in the northern ice plain,

he did get injured.

Mmn

That's the reason why.

It's probably since you haven't recovered completely your previous injury.

It must have spread this time

so you've been having recurrent low fevers.

I'll write a new prescription for Your Highness.

Take it for two days, and you will see improvement.

Thank you sir.

Ah Zhao, I have one thing

that I don't understand. You help me think about it.

Please speak, Your Highness.

That day when we were walking around the palace,

The West State's Ninth Princess and Sese fell into the lake at the same time.

Originally, I wanted to save Sese,

but I don't know why

I didn't save Sese

and saved the Ninth Princess instead.

It must be because the water wasn't clear enough

and you mistaken the person.

That's impossible. I saw it clearly.

I don't know why every time I see this girl

my heart feels gloomy and I have a headache.

I don't know what's wrong with me either.

Your Highness

Zhao family's young miss brought an invitation.

Her carriage is waiting at the side door.

She came herself?

Yes.

Se Se

Se Se greet Your Highness, Prince Yi.

See Se heard that Your Highness have a cold.

So, I especially brought some medicine.

What cold do I have!

I only wanted to take easy for a few days

Every thing is fine now.

It has been impolite of me.

I wasn’t invited but came anyways, I disturbed your highnesses quiet time.

Se Se...

I am here to apologize, that day in the pond

I saw you fall into the water and hurried to save you but for some reason I-

Se Se know that Your Highness, for the country

it's best not to let others know about our relationship.

Your highness is scared of ruining my reputation.

Plus, that Xi State ninth princess is gonna be the crown princess,

Because of your highness saving her, bystanders won’t have anything bad to say.

Se Se, you are very good.

- Greeting, Ninth Princess. - What!

Are we meeting Prince Yi, now?

Yes, please come.

Your Highness. Your Highness.
