To Get Her (殿下攻略)

To Get Her

Episode 19

Ah!

Someone is gonna scratch eyes out.

Run!

Run! Run!

What are you running for?

Why am I here?

Someone is gonna scratch eyes out.

Who is gonna scratch eyes out?

A ghost.

Who is the ghost?

No idea.

Where is it?

What kind of ghost?

There is really a ghost around here.

Don't shout.

It would be terrible to alert the guards.

There is a ghost over there. Let's run for our lives.

There is no ghost, but a person.

A person?

Yes.

It's An Zhaoyi. Look!

I'm so sorry that

I startled Third Prince and Third Princess.

It doesn't matter.

There is a rumor in the palace that a female ghost counts numbers.

It turns out that it is you.

What do you mean by saying "counts numbers"?

Yeah. What do you mean by saying that?

It is said that

a ghost counts numbers to collect five facial features.

What are you counting numbers here for?

I'm looking for my ducklings.

The elder one is called Xiaohuang.

This one really likes eating beans.

It's called Doudou.

And that one is good at swimming.

It's called Shuishui.

The palace where my bedroom locates is just ahead.

Come with me if you don't mind.

I have never been in this area.

I didn't expect that there is a consort living in the palace here.

You said it!

But the grass isn't very good here.

The ducklings prefer to eat the grass in Ming lv garden.

So I take them there every once in a while.

An Zhaoyi, You are so kind-hearted.

Here we are.

What kind of palace is it?

It's Cold Palace.

It is the palace where consorts who are not favored live.

Yes.

I live here.

Xiaolan.

Xiaolan.

How many times have I told you not

to look for food in the well?

She is Xiaolan.

Come on in.

Cold Palace is really different from elsewhere.

On entering the palace,

I feel the temperature is plummeting.

It's true to its name.

An Zhaoyi.

Are they the food you brought back?

They are not food.

They are persons.

Your Highness.

Why am I feeling

cold as well as horrified here?

Don't be afraid.

If they are gonna eat us, they will eat me first.

An Zhaoyi.

Are there any sane persons in Cold Palace except you and Biyu?

Look at them.

They came before me.

I don't know how long they have stayed here.

They are confined in this palace.

No one comes to visit them.

So they become like this.

But they are kind people.

It is not easy for

An Zhaoyi to remain sane

in such a place.

Don't worry. I will often come to visit you.

Did you bring the things I have told you to bring?

Yes. Yes. I have brought a lot of food.

It is enough for the people in Cold Palace to stuff themselves.

The people in Cold Palace is so miserable

that they are oppressed by people from other palaces.

Undoubtedly, they have poor life quality.

Furthermore, they suffer a lot mentally.

As you can see, the pets kept by other consorts are cats and dogs of unique breed.

When we guard the imperial mausoleum

at least we have rabbits.

But An Zhaoyi can only keep some ducklings as her soul mates.

But we keep rabbits just for food.

I have said that

once we leave the imperial mausoleum we don't talk about that any more.

Well. Well. Well.

Look!

I brought her a lot of cloth,

which will be of use when making clothes and homes for the ducklings.

The ducklings shall have all the things other pets have.

Why is it so little?

Haven't we agreed that

three more taels of silver be added this month?

I have no more taels.

I receive the same taels every month.

So I am not able to give you another three taels.

I don't care about that. If you have no money

you give me those ducklings.

No.

Please don't take Xiaohuang.

Stop there!

Who gave you the courage to collect protection money in the palace?

Third Princess.

I warn you not to offend me.

I'm Noble Consort Huang's favorite.

Even His Highness Third Prince has to consider my feelings.

Really?

Why didn't I hear about that?

I have to consider your feelings?

I was just joking.

You are Third Prince.

Noble Consort Huang has to consider your feelings.

Get out of here.

Don't let me see you in Cold Palace again.

I'll get out right away.

That's absurd!

Don't worry. Third Prince and I

will protect you and Xiaohuang.

An Zhaoyi.

Are you building a farm here?

I'm feeding fish.

What grows in that barrel?

They are seedlings of melons and vegetables.

What are the seedlings in that garden?

They are mulberries. Their leaves can feed silkworms.

An Zhaoyi.

Why did you make your palace into a little farm?

Because the food provided to us is terrible.

Even worse, they often forget to

bring us the food.

So we have to support ourselves.

With these animals and plants,

Cold Palace becomes a warm palace

Oh!

Outside

we planted some cucumbers.

You can take some with you before you leave.

You can dress cold cucumbers with sauce.

An Zhaoyi.

Is the reason why you lost His Majesty‘s favor?

that your hobby of planting vegetables is too special

to attract His Majesty?

I started to do this

after I came here and felt extremely boring.

But now I feel good.

I'm happy here.

If I was still a consort,

I couldn't keep fish and chickens.

Women in palace are so miserable.

They are desperate to get closer to His Majesty

just for a little favor.

It is entirely caused by polygamy.

You're wrong.

They don't fight for favors,

but to gain a foothold in the palace.

Do you mean that

if you succeed to the throne

your palace will also be like this?

I have said many times that

I only want you.

Since you have repeated it,

we don't discuss the issue now.

Third Prince and Third Princess have a close relationship with each other.

I'm not lucky like you.

Well.

I decide to get you out of the miserable Cold Palace.

Brother and Sister-in-law are not here.

Neither is Cui Xun.

What's wrong with Princess?

I'm okay.

Why are you so sad, Princess?

When do you think Cui Xun will be back?

You ask for Cui Xun's news every day.

Is there anything important you want him to do?

Not really.

Princess, your face is running red.

Are you okay?

Cui Xun.

I'm back.

Why did it take you so much time?

Is there anything wrong?

At last! You are back.

Princess Ya was sad all day

because she couldn't find you.

Princess.
