Thanks to the heaven, thanks to the earth

Thanks to the fate which let us meet

Ever since I have you

Life is full of miracles
-
All the great suffering and joy
-
Have interwoven into a piece of splendid memory
-
Thanks to the wind, thanks to the rain
-
Thanks to the sunlight that lights up earth
-
Ever since I have you
-
The world has become very beautiful
-
Drifting together, wandering together
-
Years are full of intoxicating sweet happiness
-
The sea may dry up, stones may wear out
-
Heaven may collapse, earth may crack
-
We are shoulder to shoulder, hand holding hand
-
The sea may dry up, stones may wear out
-
Heaven may collapse, earth may crack
-
We are shoulder to shoulder, hand holding hand
-
Travelled to every corner of the world
-
Visited every sunset
-
Sang to every cloud and moon
-
Thanks to the wind, thanks to the rain
-
Thanks to the sunlight that lights up earth
-
Ever since I have you
-
The world has become very beautiful

-
Hands holding hands (repeat 4 times)
-
Don't push.
-
Don't push.
-
Look over there!
-
The Emperor is beheading the commoner GeGe(s).
Aren't they HuanZhu and MingZhu GeGe(s)?
-
Yes indeed! Such fine looking
GeGe(s). Why execute them?
-
Common folk GeGe(s) have no status so once the
Emperor is furious, they will be executed.
-
But last year HuanZhu GeGe had
accompanied the Emperor on a tour
-
to make offerings at the Temple of Heaven.
-
That's right! We just saw them. Why
behead them after only one year?
-
Exactly! Then, it was so prestigous. In a
blink of an eye, GeGe is now a convict.
-
It is really strange.
-
That's why a commoner GeGe is out of luck
A trivial mistake is quickly met with execution
-
I have not ever heard of the
execution of a genuine GeGe.
-
You are right! In other words, "An Emperor's
mood changes quickly like a tiger."
-
You are exactly right.
-
I didn't expect many people will watch our
execution. Our death would be really lively.
-
Moreover, I feel it will be very stylish and
simply like a large scale celebratory event.
-
I no longer care if the execution is excruciating
-
- It's only death. - Let us be more brave.
Don't shed any tears. Understand?
-
Many are watching us thus let's
put up a wonderful performance
-
ZiWei, let us sing a song
-
Okay. Let's sing "Today
is fine and sunny"
-
Great!
-
Today's weather is fine and sunny
-
A beautiful scenery everywhere
A beautiful scenery
-
The butterflies are busy... so are the bees
-
The birds are busy... so are the clouds
-
Horsehoofs treading with the fragrance of flowers
-
Look... the GeGe(s) are singing! They
are not afraid at all... very brave
-
- Camel bells ringing and jingling
- Great...let's cheer them on
-
Singing here and singing there
-
The wind is singing and the water too
-
These two GeGe(s) are great heroines
who have fought against injustice and
-
have done many good deeds in the Palace.
-
To execute such outstanding GeGe(s)
is beyond reason and justice.
-
Exactly! You are right!
-
Vast green spaces and flourishing sky
-
Don't push!
-
HuanZhu GeGe...
-
We are the victims of the hanjian chess club
Thank you for getting rid of that evil club
-
Long live HuanZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
Long live MingZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
Long live HuanZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
Long live MingZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
ZiWei, look... everyone knows who we
are. All of them do not want us to die
-
Yes... I am extremely touched. I
suppose stories about us have spread
-
Long live HuanZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
Long live MingZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
Long live HuanZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
Long live MingZhu GeGe for thousands of years
-
The common folk GeGe(s) belong to all of us.
They must not be executed!
-
XiaoYanZi, Granny of the
tenement is over there
-
Everyone from the tenement are here
-
- Granny Qi . - Granduncle Wei
-
Granny Sun. -They are all here
-
Granny Sun
-
Sister XiaoYanZi
-
Look there... it's BaoYaTou, DaBao and ErMao.
Children of the tenement are all here
-
BaoYaTou... XiaoDouZi
-
DaBao... ErMao... BaoYaTou
-
Bring everyone home...
BaoYaTou, bring everyone home
-
Don't watch us get executed
Everyone go home
-
Listen to sister ZiWei
Execution is a gruesome sight
-
Quickly leave
-
Gentlemen and heroes, please be lenient
- Don't harm the kids. - Quickly leave now
-
BaoYaTou, quickly leave now.
Leave now
-
We plea for the GeGe(s)' lives
-
The GeGe(s) are from among the people.
They represent the commoners
-
We implore the Emperor to be sensitive to
public opinion and spare the GeGe(s) from death.
-
Spare the GeGe(s) from death
-
Spare the GeGe(s) from death
-
Quickly report this to the Emperor and ask
if it is possible to spare their lives
-
Yes sir!
-
Thank you... thank you everyone
-
Let us hold first.
There could be a turnaround
-
The execution officer has sent a runner back
-
- The execution contingent has also halted.
- There is hope... there is hope.
-
Spare the GeGe(s) from death
-
Long live GeGe(s) for thousands of years
-
Spare the GeGe(s) from death
-
Long live GeGe(s) for thousands of years
-
Spare the GeGe(s) from death
-
Thank you
-
Long live GeGe(s) for thousands of years
-
The Imperial edict has arrived!
-
Emperor's orders: immediately execute
the two convicts. Death without pardon!
-
Long live GeGe(s) for thousands of years

-
Princess.. drink some water
-
HanXiang, you are going to Beijing
for the sake of us (Uighurs).
-
The women of Uighur
are very courageous.
-
Don't make it difficult for yourself anymore.
Your father is proud of you.
-
HanXiang... follow me!
-
Protect the Princess!
-
Don't let them get near the Princess!
-
Ahmusha Khan, capture him alive!
-
Father, release him... let him leave!
Father, please don't harm him!
-
Why are you still not leaving?
Leave already! Treat me as dead.
-
Leave! Leave now!
-
Capture him alive!
-
Don't pursue any further. Let him go free.
-
Continue the journey. Depart.
-
As the entourage continue
their journey towards Beijing
-
XiaoYanZi, ZiWei
YongQi and ErKang
-
are elatedly busy at the Beijing Guesthouse
-
It never occurred to them that
at the outskirts of Beijing
-
a strange Uighur woman is
slowly approaching them.
-
A woman who will bring forth
to them many ups and downs.
-
ZiWei, come. How is it? Look.
This painting is not too bad, right?
-
We are already sure of it.
What is it? Really good
-
What's the matter? Be careful.
What is it?
-
Where do I put this?
The stool is at the floor above
-
Quick... Quickly
Don't step. Quick.
-
Put it there. Be careful
Not there. Put it up there
-
Over there. Be careful
-
Brother, pour again.
-
Guys, look I have completed
painting the entire ceiling.
-
How is the paint job?
-
- The top left hand corner is missing a spot
- Where? - There.
-
XiaoYanZi, be careful of falling down
-
My martial levitation ability has already
reached the stage of "Shen Xian Hua Hua".
-
It is not possible for me to fall.
-
What "Shen Xian Hua Hua" are you babbling?
It should be 'Chu Shen Ru Hua' ('superb skill')
-
I thought you were mentoring her on idioms?
-
It would be better if she was not taught.
The more I mentor her, the worse she becomes.
-
Even I have to accept her
unbeliveable ability of messing up idioms.
-
Who cares which "Hua" it is? ("paint")
I will paint ('Hua') the murals
-
Today is a fine and sunny day
-
Our guesthouse is very fortunate
to have such nobles helping out
-
with the decoration and adornments.
It is simply incredible!
-
Sadly, ErTai and SaiYa went to Tibet and won't
be present for this grand opening event.
-
I am surprised you even mention this as
it could have been you going to Tibet.
-
Could have? It could have
been 'him' going to Tibet.
-
You must be referring to 'YongQi', right?
Maybe he was also thinking of going to Tibet.
-
I heard SaiYa has a younger sister
-
It's easy now for you to say this without thinking.
Be careful someone may "Hua Li Qi Wei Mi Feng".
-
When you head is covered with
bruises, don't request our aid.
-
ErTai has gone to Tibet after his marriage
-
Why does the Emperor not allow the four
of you to complete your marriages?
-
Exactly.
-
Imperial Father is inconsiderate.
He wants to keep them for two more years.
-
His lack of urgency on this matter
is making both Princesses anxious.
-
- What do you mean?
- YongQi, be careful of me fixing you.
-
What do you mean 'anxious' Princess?
We are both not anxious.
-
Alright, you are both not anxious.
It's us being impatient. Okay now?
-
Don't step on our feet again
-
I wanted to confer a Title of Prince to LiuQing
-
but LiuQing refused to accept the rank
and wants only to run a restaurant.
-
So, my power to bestow titles
is still somewhat lacking.
-
I am very grateful just
to open a restaurant.
-
This Guesthouse from now will be your
home when you are not in the Palace.
-
Several guest rooms will be reserved for you.
Perhaps someday the rooms will be of use.
-
We could also bring over
XiaoDouZi and BaoYaTou to stay here.
-
Miss, we should have no problems now
-
We would not be executed even if caught
gathering for a celebration at this guesthouse.
-
While our heads are probably safe, it is still
not good to be out of the Palace so often.
-
Exactly. She is right.
-
Besides, the Queen Dowager is returning.
Everyone should be more alert and careful.
-
QingEr will be back as well.
Have you set the record straight with her?
-
QingEr's return has nothing to do with me
-
If you say so, then so be it
but do take heed of my warning.
-
I'm a gentlemen open to scrutiny.
Thus, I have no worries.
-
What are you whispering to each other?
-
It's nothing... really nothing.
We were researching this rhyming couplet.
-
It's done. The ceiling is finally completed.
I am going to paint the railing now.
-
How about brushing red paint onto it?
-
Today's weather is fine and sunny
-
A beautiful scenery everywhere
A beautiful scenery
-
The butterflies are busy... so are the bees
The birds are busy
-
Be careful... okay
-
Everyone, come and appraise the
rhythmic couplet I wrote.
-
'A banner flutters in the spring wind'
'A star constantly brilliant in the sky'
-
'A wine cup that invites the luminous moon'
'Shall eliminate countless mundane worries'
-
Good, it's well written.
The couplet has both grandeur and poetry.
-
Eh... what rhythmic couplet is this?
-
"The sky has stars and luminous moon"
-
Who says so?
What if the sky becomes cloudy?
-
Moreover, we have a roof here.
It's not possible to see the luminous moon.
-
It's simply not realistic!
-
What is the meaning of this 'Wan Dou'?
'Wan Dou'?
-
Why don't you come down?
-
You are making critiques and painting
simultaneously on such a high railing,
-
and jumping erratically everywhere.
-
It appears very unsafe. Come down.
I will explain to you.
-
Alright, I will come down.
Here comes XiaoYanZi...
-
Oh no... GeGe highness
-
Here comes XiaoYanZi...
-
Oh no... GeGe highness
-
- What happened to you?
- XiaoYanZi, why on earth did you do that?
-
Now... we have become multi-colored cats
-
It has really become 'You Fu Tong Xiang'
'You Nang Tong Dang' ('for better or worse')
-
"You Qi" (to paint) and "Tong Zang" (dirty)
-
XiaoYanZi
-
You are NOT painting the hall.
You... you are clearly painting us!
-
You make things worse when you help
-
GeGe(s), bad news. The Queen Dowager is
returning to Palace ahead of schedule.
-
They are almost at the Palace gate now.
-
Attendant Gao requests you two with 5th
Prince and Master ErKang proceed to
-
the Hall of Harmony to receive her.
-
Goodness! Everyone quickly
return, change and tidy up.
-
We are in an extremely urgent situation
-
XiaoZhuoZi XiaoDengZi XiaoShunZi
-
-Fetch the carriage here now. -Zha
-
Let's go. Hurry.
-
It's no good, there is too much paint.
-
Later we will enter through the rear gate.
You two directly proceed to ShuFangZhai.
-
JinSuo, help the GeGe(s) change
and tidy up as quickly as possible.
-
There should already be many people
kneeling at the front main gate.
-
Later, both of you have to sneak pass
after you have finished tidying up.
-
Kneel between the GeGe(s) and Consorts.
Blend in and not get noticed. Understand?
-
Anyway, they will be many chances in the future
to meet the Dowager. It is too rush now.
-
It does not benefit us if
she catches you. Understand?
-
We will kneel ourselves among the Princes.
Don't look around for us under any circumstances.
-
Minding just yourselves will be fine.
-
In addition, the Queen Dowager has very
high expectations of GeGe(s). She strongly
-
dislikes GeGe(s) who behave frivolously.
It is critical both of you take note.
-
If you can't be on time, then don't be present.
Send XiaoZhuoZi XiaoDengZi to notify us will do.
-
Is the Queen Dowager that strict?
I think it's better if we are absent.
-
That's not an option.
Attendant Gao has specified our names
-
None of us can hope to absent.
-
5th Prince, don't think of funny
ideas which would be self defeating.
-
How did we end up in this state?
Wasn't the Dowager scheduled to return later?
-
We are now caught flat-footed and
in an absolute mess. What should we do now?
-
We would have stayed in Palace had we known.
-
XiaoDengZi XiaoZhuoZi... faster
-
My Queen, now that the Dowager has returned,
the situation will go back to square one.
-
You must seize the opportunity and
not permit those two GeGe(s) to
-
control and take you for a ride again.
-
I am completely disheartened and have now
accepted those two GeGe(s) for who they are.
-
Ever since ZiWei had pleaded for me in
front of the Emperor at ShuFangZhai
-
I had resigned to my fate
-
'To accept fate' is most taboo in the Palace.
The Emperor then had wanted to kill you so
-
it was the best choice to expediently
mend your relationship with ZiWei.
-
But the situation now is different; while the
Emperor may be confused, the Dowager isn't.
-
Anyhow, you should also consider
the needs of the 12th Prince.
-
Consort Ling is pregnant again.
If she gives birth to a son,
-
she will become more lofty and imposing.
The plot by the FuLun family is evidently clear.
-
Consort Ling has outside help from FuLun family
and inside help from ZiWei and XiaoYanZi.
-
They are really the scourges of your life!
-
You are exactly right!
I can't be so easily beaten by them.
-
I won't accept such a fate
even if not for myself,
-
I have to consider the needs of my 12th Prince.
-
Let's go. Afterall I'm the Queen
designated by the Dowager.
-
Even if the Emperor does not care about
me, there is still the Queen Dowager.
-
My Queen is right. That's the spirit!
-
What can we do?
The stains of paint can't be removed.
-
Here... Let's try with rosin oil ... Here
-
It's bad smelling!
-
Rosin oil is very strong smelling
-
The other GeGe(s) are fragrant while our
GeGe(s) reek of rosin oil smell.
-
Wouldn't the Queen Dowager will find
it odd when she smells the rosin oil?
-
We don't have time to deal with that. It sure
beats a face covered with stains of paint.
-
She was living as a Buddhist at Mt Wutai.
Wasn't she comfortable and doing fine?
-
- Why does she want to return abruptly?
- Don't talk. Keep still.
-
Your face is full of different
colours. Let me help you clean up.
-
GeGe(s)... time has run out.
-
The Queen Dowager's sedan chair has
arrived at the Palace's main gate.
-
The entire reception entourage is already
kneeling in front of the Harmony Hall.
-
Please...your highnesses, let's go now
-
Some stains on the face shouldn't be a
problem. That's better than being absent.
-
Let's run. I will pull your hand
and run as fast as possible.
-
XiaoYanZi, what about
your head-dress?
-
Here, XiaoYanZi. Quickly put it on.
-
Done. Let's go
-
The Queen Dowager has arrived!
-
The Queen Dowager has arrived!
-
The Queen Dowager has arrived!
-
The Queen Dowager has arrived!
-
The Queen Dowager has arrived!
-
We are going to be late...
-
XiaoYanZi... wait up for me
-
XiaoYanZi
-
XiaoYanZi, wait up for me.
-
XiaoYanZi!
-
ZiWei... hurry
-
Slow down a little
-
Respecfully wish divine peace to Queen Dowager
-
Long live Queen Dowager for thousands of years
-
Long live Emperor for tens of thousands of years
-
Why are the winds so strong?
-
Replying to Dowager, this is a good omen:
purple cloud has arrived from the east.
-
Imperial Mother
-
Your son was very unfilial for not
receiving your return outside the city.
-
Emperor, what do you mean?
You are occupied with affairs of the State.
-
I have many people attending to me so
there is no need for you to receive me.
-
Besides, there is QingEr by my side too.
-
Imperial Mother has fasted at
Mt Wutai for an extended period.
-
It must be very exhausting for you.
-
I was praying for the Emperor's blessings
and for the Great Qing Empire's blessings.
-
It didn't tire me at all.
-
QingEr wishes peace and
propitiousness to the Emperor.
-
QingEr, your presence besides the Queen
Dowager has allowed me to be greatly relieved.
-
I ought to formally thank you for that.
-
QingEr is generously flattered
by the Emperor's kind words.
-
To be able to serve the Queen
Dowager is QingEr's blessing.
-
Everyone, do rise
-
We thank the Queen Dowager
-
The Queen appears to have lost much weight.
Are you in good health?
-
I am grateful to the Queen Dowager's concern.
I am fine... really fine.
-
Why wasn't I informed by anyone
about Consort Ling's good news?
-
Replying to the Queen Dowager,
your servant dare not disturb the Dowager.
-
Good news can't be considered as alarming.
-
XiaoYanZi
-
Hurry... come... hurry
Pants ...hurry
-
Queen Dowager, these two girls are
the recently conferred Princesses
-
HuanZhu GeGe and MingZhu GeGe.
-
Hurry up greet and pay respects to the Dowager
-
ZiWei salutes the Queen Dowager and wishes
propitiousness to the Queen Dowager.
-
Propitiousness to the Queen Dowager.
-
I see... they must be the commoner GeGe(s).
-
Queen Dowager, you may be unaware that
during your period of absence from the Palace
-
the most sensational stories involved
these two 'infamous common folk' GeGe(s).
-
How did this happen?
-
I had repeatedly warned you.
Why were you both so nervous and panicky?
-
You were to blend in and not get noticed
but you two had to be so earth-shaking.
-
Now the Queen Dowager is engraved
with negative first impressions.
-
What now? We must have screwed up.
-
How can we reverse the Queen
Dowager's bad impressions of us?
-
I told you so earlier it was
better to be a 'no-show'.
-
It's like a ant nest here with so
many people here. The Dowager can't
-
possibly look for a specific person.
-
What's the big deal? You shouldn't act
as if the world is coming to an end soon.
-
She is only a old granny.
She can't possibly eat us alive.
-
Emperor, explain the matter of the real and
imposter GeGe(s). What is exactly happening?
-
During my journey back, I had heard that
-
many streets and corners were circulating
vivid stories on this subject.
-
The story's origin is from the Imperial family.
We are now made fun by the common people.
-
Isn't this a loss of our imperial dignity?
-
I just saw the two GeGe(s).
They were beyond even my wildest expectations.
-
Mother, your lecture is most instructive.
-
Truth of the matter, the current saga is due
to a mistake committed by me in the past.
-
Then, I had let down XiaYuHe at JiNan
-
I was unaware that her daughter ZiWei would
travel all the way to Beijing and look for me.
-
Then due to a freak confluence of factors,
XiaoYanZi was wrongly conferred as GeGe.
-
Chaos quickly followed, but the
matter has been resolved now.
-
Is the matter really resolved? Such
important matters must not be muddledly handled.
-
Imperial Mother, it is truly and
conclusively resolved. There is no mistake.
-
These two girls each have
their strengths and merits.
-
I really like the both of them, hence I
conferred the title of Princess to XiaoYanZi.
-
But she is commonly addressed
in the Palace as HuanZhu GeGe.
-
ZiWei was conferred the title of MingZhu GeGe
but others usually address her as ZiWei GeGe.
-
Imperial Mother, consider this as me
adding two more grand-daughters for you.
-
I trust that you will like
them in the same way that I do.
-
They were discourteous a while ago but I guess
-
It was because they had wanted to
meet you and were simply too nervous.
-
I heard you have engaged
XiaoYanZi to the 5th Prince? - Yes.
-
You were too hasty. You should have waited
for my return before making such a decision.
-
Marriage is an important life event.
-
My worry is that the commoner girl
will aggreive the 5th Prince.
-
Mother, you may be unaware
XiaoYanZi is from the common folk.
-
Hence, she has the temperament of a simple,
unsophisticated, bold and unrestrained person.
-
Such temperaments can't be found in
any member of the Imperial family.
-
Moreover, YongQi prefers someone who is
natural and is less bothered by trifling rules.
-
They are ideal for one another.
-
Your explanation sounds a little novel.
We as Manchus stress the importance of lineage.
-
Imperial lineage was passed from our
ancestors and is something we are proud of.
-
Queen Dowager,
HuanZhu GeGe is indeed very likeable.
-
Her past background is unknown
and it is not clear who her parents are.
-
They could possibly be Manchus.
-
We don't even know who her parents are?
-
Her past is simply too long
a story filled with many complications.
-
I will slowly tell the full story
after Imperial Mother is rested.
-
I have now become curious
-
Queen, what is your opinion on this matter?
-
Dowager, your servant's opinion matters little.
-
The GeGe(s) have gained deep popular feelings.
Your servant dares not have any opinion.
-
The past few days, I have been lectured and
slammed whenever I comment on this matter.
-
I have learnt hard lessons many times.
-
The Emperor's views and decisions...
are surely justified by his own rationale.
-
Is that so?
-
Their story really interests me now.
-
Enough already...
Don't continue to chastise me.
-
I wanted to give a good impression
to the Queen Dowager as well but
-
never expected it will turn out so badly
-
You don't have to tell me that the
Queen Dowager is very powerful, but
-
I find your assertions that even
Imperial Father fears her as unbelievable.
-
Imperial Father is the most powerful man on
earth; there is nothing worldly he is afraid of
-
You had better believe my advice.
It is certainly not a bluff.
-
That's enough.
No more child-like tantrums.
-
Listen to me. Okay?
-
Today's meeting has stirred up the
curiosity of the Queen Dowager in both of you.
-
After she's been briefed on your inside
story, you two will be immediately summoned.
-
If not today, then tomorrow.
-
Exactly. Both of you must
be mentally prepared.
-
XiaoYanZi... especially you
-
When you see the Queen Dowager, don't behave
casually as if you are seeing the Emperor.
-
Display all the customs and
etiquette that RongMoMo taught you.
-
Remember to salute when you should salute.
Don't babble when you are not expected to speak.
-
If not, you will be in hot soup again.
-
Why don't you follow ZiWei's facial hints?
You should mimic all of ZiWei's manners.
-
Don't follow me. I am very nervous too.
We only just made a fool out of ourselves.
-
I am still very upset with that.
If we see the Queen Dowager again, I may
-
become frightened and totally screw up.
-
You can't commit too many mistakes.
You must remain calm.
-
Recall your first meeting with the
Emperor during which you kept your cool.
-
I think it's better if you just keep quiet.
-
You should let ZiWei help
you answer all the questions.
-
How can that be possible?
-
If I were to mimic ZiWei, then I am
effectively the same person as ZiWei.
-
Even Imperial Father said I don't need to
learn the rules. But Queen Dowager now
-
comes and I have to abide by
the rules taught by RongMoMo.
-
I might as well leave the Palace early
-
for LiuQing's Beijing Guesthouse
and help him carry dishes and plates.
-
You are spouting nonsense again.
You can't leave the Palace in your whole life.
-
XiaoYanZi, you should listen to the
advice of others and learn how to behave.
-
If not, Miss will suffer together with you.
-
Your head-dress is not worn
properly. Let me help you.
-
Exactly right.
XiaoYanZi, were you even listening?
-
Do you appreciate the importance?
-
I understand now.
JinSuo, bring my "easy kneel" here now.
-
Bring two extra pairs.
I and ZiWei will "pre-equip" ourselves.
-
MingYue CaiXia, hurry bring them over.
-
Bring more. No matter what, I think
we surely wil not be able to avoid
-
the old practices of kowtowing and kneeling.

-
Here... GeGe(s). Let us
secure the pads for you.
-
Bring them here.
-
I don't need this.
-
XiaoYanZi, don't waste time
with your "easy kneel".
-
You should listen to 5th Prince and ErKang.
Their advice is more critical.
-
I know. When I see the Queen Dowager
I will not utter a single word like a mute.
-
That's also not acceptable.
-
You can't remain silent when
the Queen Dowager expects a reply from you.
-
Correct. You must adapt to the circumstances.
-
The Queen Dowager likes ladies who are
dignified, well behaved and abide by customs.
-
It's no big deal if you speak a bit slowly.
Don't speak without even thinking first.
-
Before you speak, in your
mind, think it through first.
-
Speak only after you have mulled it over.
-
At the start of each sentence, you should
add the phrase "Replying to Queen Dowager".
-
No one faults
excessive courteousy. Understand?
-
Strange. She is clearly only an old granny.
Why is she addressed as "Lao Fo Ye"?
-
What is her relation to "Fo"? ("Buddha")
I thought "Ye" only refers to males ("Master").
-
Can you don't debate this further? Focus.
You don't want to listen, but I do.
-
Alright then, I will listen.
-
This time the pads are safely
secured and would not fall off.
-
Get up... hurry get up
-
I am fine. Okay, I am done
-
Don't deliberately kneel over
and over again. Understand?
-
I am not kneeling unnecessarily
as what I detest most is kneeling.
-
A human's knees are for movement and
travel. They are not created for kneeling.
-
I don't understand why it's so
popular in the Palace to kowtow and kneel.
-
Okay, let's not talk about this.
-
If the situation can't be
handled, I will simply kneel.
-
I wonder if there's a "kneeling stratagem"
in the collection of "72 stratagems".
-
It's THE '36 stratagems', 'Egress' is best
-
I didn't realise it is '36 stratagems'!
-
Hmm, I had added a few more
stratagems but there is nothing wrong.
-
If the "72 stratagems" fail, I will
resort to the "36 stratagems".
-
I forbid you to use ANY stratagems!
-
Take a good look. It would be better
to remove the "easy kneel" pads.
-
Your movement is now restricted
with these bulky "easy kneel" pads.
-
You people are very naggy.
What's the big deal about the Queen Dowager?
-
Even the powerful Queen
is powerless to restrain me.
-
You don't have to worry about me.
-
I am "this person" and "that sky" who
always will have a "close brush with death".
-
Now, I won't die too.
-
This is a problem too.
-
Use less "this is" and
"that is" when you converse.
-
Use idioms aptly whenever possible.
If you don't know, then don't use.
-
Learn to 'hide inadequacies'. Understand?
-
'Hide myself'? (Erkang's 'hide inadequacies')
-
I am a big adult. How do I hide myself?
Where can I hide myself?
-
Previously, I hid myself under the table
but was ultimately caught by the Queen.
-
Oh 'heavens' ('Tian'), you are...
-
Don't shout for the "sky". ("Tian")
-
The sky hasn't fallen, but it will
fall soon if you keep shouting.
-
Queen Dowager's Imperial Edict has arrived
-
Queen Dowager summons both GeGe(s) to proceed
immediately to her chambers for questioning.
-
What? Now?!
