Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 33

Greetings, Your Majesty.

This lady is full of spirit.

It's better than those beautiful women statue.

Imperial Concubine Dowager, am I right?

Yes, Your Lady Majesty Empress Dowager.

I have never seen such a pretty lady.

What is your name?

- Feng Hongxiu. - She is indeed intelligent and pretty.

Since Your Majesty likes her, why not keep this lady?

Starting today, you're now Guiren Feng.

Come, sit beside me.

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

Your Majesty, we should continue with the banquet.

I ordered them to especially prepare an exquisite delicacy.

May everyone sincerely taste it.

Start then.

Your Majesty, what are they doing?

Your Majesty, a deer is a sacred beast.

It has pure yang within in and has a long life. It's best in supplementing our qi and blood.

Just to bring this effect to the fullest, I've asked people to feed him ginseng for a month.

Although this method is a bit sanguinous,

we can only ensure the freshest internal organs if we do this.

Later, I'll order them to grill them on site.

I guarantee that the aroma will very memorable.

Oh, right, the deer's heart is the best part.

It can nourish one's qi and regulate your breathing. Everyone should taste it later.

Guiren Feng, you have something to say?

In front of Your Majesty, I dare not be rash.

I'm allowing you to say it. I won't blame you if you make any mistakes.

Your Lady Highness Imperial Consort Dowager, we all know that His Majesty is a vegetarian,

but he doesn't restrict his subjects to dine and drink.

This is all because of his benevolent heart.

But, today is his birthday.

Using this method of obtaining the organs while the deer is alive, isn't it...

isn't it too cruel?

I heard before that when His Majesty goes out to hunt,

he would deliberately let those young preys escape.

His purpose is to let the mountain forest recuperate and build up strength.

It shows that he as a benevolent heart.

If...it's just to satisfy the desire for good food,

why not just directly kill it?

How come we still must bloodily torture it like this?

Unruly!

Your Majesty, forgive me! I had talked nonsense!

I already said it that I won't blame you.

My words don't carry much weight. I shouldn't have said too much.

But...

But this is a pregnant female deer.

What pregnant female deer? A bunch of nonsense!

Whether I'm making up things or not,

won't everything be clear just by looking at the deer's abdomen?

Eunuch Pan, go look at it.

Yes.

Replying to Your Majesty, what Guiren Feng said is indeed right.

This deer indeed is pregnant.

Your Majesty, I had good intentions. I didn't know...

- I... - Imperial Consort Dowager Qi,

bloodily extracting the meat right here in the great hall

is already very cruel.

As the Imperial Consort Dowager, you should be cultivating more inner good morals and act in a generous manner.

Yes.

Royal Mother, come. It's fine...

It's in! It's in!

- Just a bit short. - It's in! It's in!

You're so good.

I thought Prince Regent's Wife wouldn't dare to go out anymore.

Never thought that she's this bold and went out without care at all.

Today is His Majesty's birthday. Of course, Prince Regent's Wife must attend it.

Who in Pingcheng doesn't know about the Prince Regent's Wife

getting abducted by an assassin?

If she has any shame, she should have just behaved herself and stayed inside the manor.

Look at her now. Not only does she feel no shame,

she even joined the shooting the jar game.

So afraid that no one will notice that she's here.

Song people are very particular about etiquette.

They actually were able to come up with such a woman who lacked womanly virtue. I really feel embarrassed for them.

Really have no social decency.

You think everyone is deaf like you?! That they can't hear it if you don't speak loudly?!

What? Did I say something wrong?

Since we dared to say it, then we're not afraid that you'll hear it.

May I ask what is womanly virtue?

Wei previously has the practice of the son taking over the father, the younger brother taking over the older brother.

Before, I didn't understand it too.

But later, someone told me that it was for the propagation of descendants

and more so for survival.

When the sibling dies, the woman had to be remarried to another family.

All the food and children will be taken too.

For a household, how big of a loss is that?

Are you going to say that all your ancestors are immoral?

Those are old practices and has long been abandoned.

Now, we all have been taught on proper lady virtues. We know about the sense of propriety, justice, integrity and honor.

We naturally will not do those immoral acts.

The son inheriting that of the father, the younger brother inheriting that of the older sibling,

these are indeed ugly practices.

But the woman involved was innocent.

They have no way to control their fate and life.

Your Wei princess was also like Han Zhaojun.

When the khan of Rouran died, she had to remarry his brother.

This is not for herself. It's for the citizens and the state. But with just the movement of your lips,

you have humiliated her to the point of her body being badly bruised all over.

Why don't you think first

that if not because of their sacrifices, how can there be peaceful times now?

You would have been treated like a beast and get sold!

If we have already been humiliated (raped), we surely will not continue living an ignoble existence

and let the world mock our husband and family.

The more I won't shamelessly swagger through the streets and become everyone's laughingstock!

Shut up!

Stop saying it.

I'm not talking about Prince Regent's Wife. I'm just talking about how a woman should act.

What is there to fear?

Are you all not talking

because you all agree with her opinions?

Princess Consort, we all were just joking earlier. Please don't mind it.

Yes. I indeed got abducted by an assassin.

But as a woman, you should be feeling pity about my encounter

and rejoice for my safe return.

But what about you all? Hiding here,

spreading rumors, and destroying my reputation.

How come it is always a woman that will throw stones at another woman?

You are harsher to other women than how you treat your men.

You want to use a few rumors to force me to die? Dream on!

Don't you want to die?!

Okay. I'll then fulfill your wish, you long-tongued woman!

Help!

Princess Consort, have mercy!

- Princess Consort. Princess Consort, you must not be rash. - Guiren Feng.

Hongxiu, no need for you to ask forgiveness in her behalf.

A woman like that who pretend to be so chaste should be made to experience unbearable embarrassment.

Didn't you say that all humiliated women should die?

I'll then take off all your clothes

- and let you roll around the great hall for a round. - Princess Consort! - Come over here.

Chuyu! Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet. You must not act absurdly.

For my sake, just let her off this time.

Does she really know her mistake already?

Princess Consort was so fortunate to have been saved by General Shen.

Other than experiencing a bit of shock, she didn't suffer any other injuries.

There are people who are deliberately spreading rumors

obviously to destroy the reputation of Princess Consort.

Ladies, it's fine if you get to listen to them.

But if you spread it through your own words,

that will be destroying the prestige of the imperial family.

Are you all really not afraid of getting executed with your family?

Princess Consort, let her go now.

Will you not make casual remarks again?

No. I won't dare anymore.

I have remembered your face.

If you let me see you again spreading lies behind my back,

I surely will hang you by the city walls tomorrow.

Yes.

Leave.

Wait a minute!

Princess Consort, I really dare not do it again.

Who allowed you to walk out like that? Crawl out.

I'm not a person that repay grudges with goodwill.

Either you remove your clothes and crawl out,

or you crawl out with all your limbs and head touching the ground. No third choice.

Chuyu.

I'm doing this just to let her know

what it feels to be humiliated. Only by experiencing it

can she understand why Zhaojun endured the humiliation and remarried.

Only then will she understand the feelings of the Wei princess who had to leave her homeland

and still endured getting mocked at and misunderstood.

A woman who has to bear such kind of insult but still continued living is a woman worth admiring.

So far better than a delicate rich daughter like you.

If I'm you, I will immediately make my choice.

Hurry up!

Next time, who else doesn't want their life anymore, I won't mind sending them to their journey.

- Chuyu. If this matter gets out— - I've already held back...

but wasn't successful with it.

You really has such bad temper.

You scared me to death earlier.

I even thought that you would really force her to crawl out naked.

I was just scaring her,

so she wouldn't be talking nonsense again.

Hongxiu, are you really entering the palace now?

Chuyu, if I enter the palace, those kids won't need to starve and have no one to rely on to.

But this is the imperial palace of Wei. You can never turn back once you get on this path.

Don't worry. I'm willing to bear all the consequences.

You looked surprised when you saw Hongxiu today.

I don't understand. His Majesty already has so many women.

Why must he continue to get more?

Will you complain that there are so many beautiful dresses?

For a man, a beautiful woman is like a precious treasure,

a beautiful clothing. The more you can collect, the better.

Just to be a man's collectible item, a woman must then give up her freedom and the right to go out of the palace?

What's wrong?

Replying to Your Highness, the cart of a man selling lanterns in front got overturned.

Who is it?

Just an annoying lowly person.

Since I entered Pingcheng, someone has been wanting to kill me.

They have already trapped me numerous times. I still haven't pay them back.

Pay them back?

I've already made an oath. I'll let these people scheming against me behind my back

all pay the price.

Such bold statement.

What are you laughing at? You don't believe me?

I don't believe you.

Just wait and see then.
