Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

Goodbye My Princess -

Episode 12 -

Great Grandmother, I heard that you haven't been able to sleep lately.

I brought these incense back from the Western States. They have a calming effect.

My precious great grandson

you are so thoughtful.

Great Grandmother

These few days your Aunt Mingyuan has been in my dreams.

She must be missing home.

Great Grandmother

But, she can't come back.

She has a home that she can't come back to.

You must've seen her on this trip to the Western State.

Did she have any words for you to bring back.

I must get out of the Palace today.

Prince Yin (5th Prince).

Go.

Good!

Mi Luo Western State spy

Good!

Which one looks better?

Se Se

Greetings, Your Highness.

Blue is your collar, longing is my heart.

Although I can't go see you, why haven't you sent a letter?

Blue is your collar, longing is my heart.

Even though I can't go see you, can you not come see me?

Se Se

what's wrong with your hand?

I regret being unable to wear horse riding equipment and

ride with Your Highness last time.

With my brother's help, I've been learning how to

horseback ride. Next time you go hunting,

I can ride side-by-side with you.

Se Se

I'm not trying to brag, but Shangjing City has three treasures.

First is Wan Fuo Temple's many incense. (Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas).

One is the beautiful women of Ming Yu Fang.

The last one is the wine at my Mi Luo Winery.

The traders from the Western State

want to have my grape wine.

Okay, we'll come here for wine from now on.

Cheers!

Mr. Gao Mr. Gao Mr. Gao Gao Zhen Third son of Prime Minister Gao

Mi Luo, get the wine.

Mr. Gao

If I don't see Ming Yue next time, I'll make you

- go out of business. - Please calm down.

- Mister calm down and drink some wine - I'll treat you to wine.

I don't want wine! I want Ming Yue!

Mr. Gao

The wine...

That Ming Yue is too haughty.

Don't be angry.

What should we do about the cost of the wine?

Put it on the tab.

Take care when you leave.

Why'd you come out?

What happened over there?

It's like this everyday.

When Mr. Gao can't see Miss Ming Yue,

he takes his anger out on other people.

It's late. We're going to head out.

That's fine. It's time for me to close too.

Make sure to come often.

The wine here is tasty and you're beautiful.

I'll make sure to come often.

Thank you for your business.

I'm leaving.

Mi Luo, my name is Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng

The Crown Prince has only passed away for a few month.

Why are you in a hurry for me to designate another heir?

Is it because I'm getting too old or

am I not healthy enough?

Must we designate an heir now?

Your Majesty, that's not what I meant.

The tragedy has caused my colleagues and I

to be in deep grief.

But, after our battle with Dan Chi,

there has been unrest on the western border.

The marriage alliance with the Western State has been established

and the Ninth Princess has been in our dynasty

for months.

But, since we haven't designated a Crown Prince,

the Ninth Princess's wedding day has been

pushed back multiple times. I'm scared that if this continues

the people of the western border kingdoms will become anxious.

Today, I invited you here

because I want your insight.

Out of all my sons,

who do you think can become the heir to the throne?

I think...

it's Prince Xuande (2nd Prince).

The Second Prince

is the eldest.

He also won victoriously in the war against Dan Chi.

His standing is well respected among all the princes.

Second Prince is intelligent and brave.

He is also virtuous.

I think, whether you consider the age or achievement,

Second Prince is

the best choice to be Crown Prince.

Second Prince's glorious bravery in the war against Dan Chi

has impressed the entire court of ministers.

My selfish side of course goes to Fifth Prince.

To designate an heir is important for the dynasty.

But compared to the Prince Xuande, Prince Yin is

too young.

Throughout this government, you're the most loyal to me, Yu Ming.

Here's to you.

My second son, Duke of Shuande,

is loyal, respectful, and filial,

compassionate and altruistic,

well schooled, learned, and courteous,

I now proclaim him as Crown Prince to reside in East Palace.

So decreed.

Your Majesty's grace is appreciated.

I also order that

all departments to prepare

for the wedding between Crown Prince and Ninth Princess on the 100th day from now.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Women need to have four qualifications.

1. Womanly virtue 2. Womanly words 3. Womanly bearing

4. Womanly....

Womanly work

Womanly work

Womanly words don't...

Womany words don't have to be clever or keen.

Don't have to be clever or keen.

Princess, you've been memorizing the Female Commandants for a month, but you still can't remember it all.

I'm worthless. I'm going to request a resignation from the Grand Dowager Empress.

Let's find another female official as your teacher.

Please don't, Fang Shangyi, please don't leave.

Grandmother said you are the top official at the Etiquette bureau.

If you quit, no one else would be willing to teach me.

It's my fault. I apologize to you From now on, I'll work harder. Is that alright?

Don't be upset. It'll hurt your health.

Have some tea and calm down.

What's wrong, Fang Shangyi?

This is vinegar.

This..this...

How dare you, Ah Du, to prank me.

I'm going to hit you.

No!

Calm down, Fang Shangyi.

Calm down. Calm down.

Don't get upset and hurt your health.

Ninth Princess, please mov.

Let me punish this disrespectful girl.

Come here.

Don't be angry, Fang Shangyi.

Fang Shangyi, don't ruin your health.

Move!

Your highness! Your highness!

Princess, it's my fault.

It's all my fault.

I'll go get the royal doctor, now!

Princess, the emperor has promoted the Prince Xuande to Crown Prince.

In a hundred days, Your Highness will be the Crown Princess.

What?

Congratulations, Your Highness. Prince Xuande has become Crown Prince.

The wedding will be a hundred days later.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

You will soon be married.

It's urgent for you to learn all the etiquette rules.

That's right. We can't miss anything for the wedding.

Tell me...

do I really have to marry Prince Xuande?

I've only seen him twice.

He actually seems nice and is thoughtful.

But I just don't feel at ease whenever I'm with him.

It's like those strict and inflexible rules of the kingdom.

With this type of person...

I have to spend the rest of my life with

I also miss home.

But I can't leave.

I have mother and father

brothers and sisters as well as the citizens of the Western States.

I'm here to marry

so I have to learn the rules that I don't like

and marry a person that I don't like.

I'm not like myself anymore.

Ah Du, why are you crying again?

Okay, okay. We won't talk about it anymore.

Let's go find Mi Luo and get drunk.

All the clothes is with you, right?

Good.

Let's go.

Your Highness

Why are you here this late?

Grand Dowager Empress wanted me to bring Your Highness some snacks.

Thank great grandmother for me.

Yong Niang

I also wanted to remind Your Highness that

there's been thieves in the Palace so everyone has to stick to curfew.

Don't go outside or let any strangers in.

Thieves?

Yes. Guards say that they saw a white shadow on the roof

but they didn't catch him. It's most likely thieves.
