Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Episode 7

Second Class Attendant Mei, you are leaving without displaying any respects. This is improper.

What's wrong? Did you hurt your hand?

It's okay. I'm fine.

Sulian, I didn't do it on purpose.

Your Highness, I'm taking my leave.

Your Highness, please be lenient.

But she is born from a low status background and she's so arrogant.

If I don't control her properly,

she will receive favors from His Highness and flies to the sky.

You have slapped her and she has also knelt on the snow-covered ground. What else do you still want?

If you really slapped till you ruined her face and bruised her knees,

and His Majesty were to really denounce this, how will you answer him?

I'll just tell him the truth.

Second Class Attendant Mei was wrong in all aspects.

Second Class Attendant Mei was definitely at fault

but I wasn't criticizing you.

Since His Majesty has favored her and gave her a status,

she is your sister now.

Concubines should live and get along with each other to observe the rules.

Even if incident like this happens,

you should hold on to your temper.

When His Majesty has cooled down his temper,

it's still not too late to slowly teach her.

You are right. When His Majesty loses his novelty,

I will teach her a lesson again.

But look at what I did to her face.

Will His Majesty blame me?

You...

Sulian, go to the hospital now and get some ointment for reducing swelling.

Deliver them to Second Class Attendant Mei on my behalf.

Apply it on your wound at the same time.

Yes.

- Mistress, you... - What are you looking at?

If I don't say anything, no one is allowed to ask.

Suyun, go and get some ointment to reduce the swelling for me now.

Yes.

Mistress, look at these charcoals.

They probably can't be used anymore.

The House of Internal Affairs delivered this yesterday.

They said that it's His Majesty's calligraphy.

I know the words.

I wonder why they placed it on a board.

It is stated in 'Rites and Ceremonies': Be respectful and you'll become awe-inspiring. Be virtuous and cautious and you'll become morally sound.

It's telling women to be kind, cautious and to preserve virtues and bearing.

Your HIghness Ruyi,

do you think I'm worthy of these four words?

Since His Majesty gave you this signboard, naturally, you are worthy of it.

Other people don't think so.

But whether I'm worthy of it or not, it's mine.

That's right.

From the first time since I was nominated to grant sexual favors till I was conferred as the Second Class Attendant,

everyone has been dissatisfied with me.

If they can't touch me, they would use my birth background to mock me.

They hated it for not being able to swallow me.

What are you laughing at?

Your Highness Ruyi, you were born as Ula-Nara.

Aren't you suffering because you are a concubine too?

In my lifetime,

I will only live for myself and not for others.

No one can laugh at me.

Mistress, Sulian is here.

She said that she's here to deliver the medication from the hospital.

Let her in.

I'm taking my leave.

Your Highness Ruyi, please wait.

I have offended you just now.

Please check the medicine for me

to see if there are any harmful substances in it.

Alright.

Greetings, Your Highness Ruyi.

Greetings, Second Class Attendant Mei.

Under the order of the Noble Consort,

I specially went to the hospital to obtain medication for reducing swelling to deliver it here.

Noble Consort is very kind.

She just slapped me and now, she's delivering this medication?

Did she think this will end after slapping me and giving me jujubes later?

I dare not use her medication.

This is Her Highness' sincerity from her guilt.

If you dare not use this, I have nothing else to say then.

Be done with it. Your Highness Ruyi, please check the medication

and see if it's appropriate.

This is definitely the swelling reducer medication from the hospital.

I used this in the residence before the Prince was enthroned.

You can also use ice,

mountain herbs and Huaren Panax notoginseng too.

This will improve the blood circulation.

Her Highness Ruyi is right.

Second Class Attendant Mei. The Noble Consort has regretted after punishing you.

Also, after being reprimanded by the Empress,

she was instructed to deliver the medication to here

in case you are unable to serve His Majesty if you are summoned by him.

Second Class Attendant Mei, don't worry. After using this medication, the swelling will disappear after three days.

Three days?

Can you guarantee that His Majesty won't summon me within three days?

What Her Highness meant, it's that

if you are summoned, you should take note of the situation and don't mention anything about this.

If there are further complications,

she's afraid that, for what has happened today, you will be implicated and be responsible too.

As long as there's nothing wrong with this face,

I will forget about this incidence.

You are intelligent and can grasp the overall situation. Things will definitely progress smoothly for you.

I'm taking my leave then.

Second Class Attendant Mei, do recover well. I'm taking my leave too.

Mistress, slow down.

Why are they behaving suspiciously?

My Lady. It seems to be Her Highness Ruyi's Eunuch Sanbao.

Her Highness Ruyi's Eunuch Sanbao?

Why are they back in the palace and leaving by the back of the palace too?

I don't know about this.

Go and investigate now.

I will go and check around then.

Greetings,Your Highness.

Rise.

It's snowing and you are still coming here?

Be careful as the ground is slippery.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I shouldn't judge based on the weather conditions.

You have been serving His Majesty for many years and you are the most competent.

When His Majesty was enthroned, he conferred you as the Deputy Chief Eunuch at Yangxin Palace Hall.

It's just that this post has been vacant.

I have been thinking about this.

I merely want to serve my Master.

I have no other requirements.

Why are you here?

His Majesty has instructed

to invite you to dinner today at Yangxin Palace Hall.

Your Highness, please get ready.

Fine. Tell His Majesty that

I will prepare some of his favorite snacks and bring them along.

Yes. I'm taking my leave.

Eunuch Wang, this is my reward to you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Lianxin, give it to Eunuch Wang.

Yes.

You look pretty when you smile.

What's wrong with you?

Sister Sulian. About Eunuch Wang...

every time when he's here, he behaves improperly.

Previously, he even told Zhao Yitai to hand over a bracelet to me.

I really didn't wanted it. So hateful.

He's someone without any roots. He keeps doing such unreasonable things.

If Her Highness isn't using him, who would respond to him?

My Lady, I have checked.

I heard from Xiangyun that Sanbao often delivers charcoals to her.

Deliver charcoals? What kind of charcoals?

Charcoals for warmth.

This Hailan...

Didn't we just use a bit of her charcoal?

She even used the help of Her Highness Ruyi?

It seems like she want others to think that we are treating her harshly.

She's really betraying herself to do things for others.

Why didn't Xiangyun come back to report this?

Xiangyun thought it was a minor matter.

Thus, she didn't tell you about it.

Tell Xiangyun that, in the future, whether it's a small or big matter,

she must report every details to me.

Yes.

Her Highness was right.

We really have to watch out for Hailan.

Mistress, stop reading. The charcoals that they delivered will run out soon.

The Noble Consort is really such a bully.

She has such a large amount.

Sister told me to read more books. I must speed up and work harder.

Reading books can't be eaten.

Mistress, look. What kind of food are these?

Even a maidservant can eat better than this.

Forget it. It's enough as long as it's filling.

Mistress, you are His Majesty First Class Attendant and not a suffering servant.

If you don't eat well, how can you have the energy to read books?

Mistress, you better just hurry and eat.

It'll taste worse if it gets cold.

I'll listen to you.

If you continue to nag like that, I won't be able to read too.

Mistress, I heard that Noble Consort wasn't feeling well these past two days.

You should at least visit her and check on her health.

Don't let Noble Consort find a reason to make things hard on you again.

How come you didn't make a sound at all?

This is the Noble Consort that I know.

Wearing dull and plain clothes like me, it looks weird on you.

Her Highness Empress is promoting austerity. Of course, I must follow.

But the weather lately is really unbearably cold.

When I returned in my palace, can't I wear something comfortable?

Yes...

Come, Noble Lady Jia, sit here. It's warmer here.

Okay.

Is your cold symptoms better?

Whenever winter comes, my whole body feel unwell.

What's the meaning of you entering my warm chambers with such contemptuous look?

I heard that you were not feeling well, so I especially came to wish you good health.

It's enough if you will stop appearing in front of me.

First Class Attendant Hai, let me give you an advice too.

Lessen angering your superior.

Lessen double-crossing your superior and spouting nonsense. You then might have more peaceful days.

I dare not do such things.
