She has both expressive eyes and a ready smile: "You admire me, Sire, for being so elegant." - Shan Gui (Mountain Spirit) from Nine Songs by Qu Yuan
What is it, you do not like this teacher either?
Then I should go teach him a lesson.
No... the Teacher taught very well.
Tell me then, what have you learned.
He used a few poems to caution me on the need for
self-constraint and observance of rules within the Palace.
Was it hard to learn?
I am but a commoner girl,
so I do not like to listen to these grand principles.
How can the person I choose be an average girl.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Mo Chou,
I like you.
I can give you everything you want.
Don't come over.
Your Majesty, you cannot do this. I am the musician you appointed yourself.
There are rules in the Palace, you can take any woman in this Palace as concubine except me.
What a joke.
You're talking Palace rules with me? If people have such rules,
then I would abolish such rules.
No! No!
I do not believe in such superstitions.
No! No!
No! Don't!
Your Majesty! Not good!
What has happened.
The lightning strikes just now split the beams in Consort Yun's palace.
What?
Your Majesty, please quickly go check.
Do you really not understand why His Majesty made you enter the Palace?
No! No! Please don't! No!
Mo Chou, you're back?
What did His Majesty want to see you for? Why aren't you talking?
What is there to say? Just look at her.
Should we start referring to her as Lady Mo Chou?
Okay, okay, let's sleep.
Your Majesty, what do the Gua say? Why did the beams suddenly split? (T/N Gua are the 64 hexagrams based on "I Ching" for divination)
"Chance meeting, a woman is hurt, not good for marriage." (T/N: divination text for the Gou hexagram sign.)
How can it be like this?
Preposterous. How could I not touch a common girl such as her. What a joke.
Your Majesty, we cannot dismiss what the Gua says.
Though we don't know what'll happen in the future, we cannot underestimate Miss Mo Chou.
I will not believe such superstitions!
Ru Hui Palace
Musician Mo Chou, why have you not performed the greeting ritual when meeting Her Highness the Queen?
Mo Chou greets Your Highness the Queen.
You may rise.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I summoned you today in order to check on the progress of your etiquette studies.
Unfortunately, that kowtow just now exhibited many errors already.
It must be too long since I have supervised for you to have forgotten so much.
Qiu Lu, teach the musician again
how to correctly perform the kowtow greeting.
Yes.
You need to kneel for so long?
Musician Mo Chou, this kowtow greeting is the most commonly used greeting in the Palace.
The longer the kowtow, the greater the respect.
But kowtowing like this, the person you're kowtowing to won't even be able to see it,
how is that respect?
This...
What about the walking posture I taught you last time. Walk a few steps and show me.
Don't walk so fast. Still incorrect. Do it again.
Your eyes should be level. Bit more steady.
Steadier. Again.
Completely and utterly lawless.
Greetings to the Queen Mother.
Why have you not knelt yet!
Such an unruly personality, how can you be a musician.
You'll be the laughing-stock of the world!
If Your Highness believes I'm not good enough, then please send me away from the Palace.
Insolence!
Is the Palace a place you can come and go as you please?
Attendants!
Present.
Take her to kneel on Jingshi road.
Have her properly reflect on her mistakes.
Yes.
Is that not Musician Mo Chou?
What is she doing here?
Elder Sister, were we not going to your Palace to look at some embroidery?
She's already like this, should we not go console her a bit?
Oh, how warm. What a pity,
I had thought that you were quite good.
Bewitching His Majesty, making him crazed with longing.
But now it seems that you are only so-so.
I heard that those who kneel on the stone road are all people whom the Queen Dowager cannot stand.
They'll continue kneeling, and kneeling,
until their legs are wasted and they become disabled.
Musician, you had better take care.
Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me.
The weather seems to be changing suddenly. It looks like it's about to rain.
Let's go. Little Sister Tian, let's go back.
Princess, look over there.
Musician, wake up.
She's burning up.
Wake up, Musician.
Your Majesty, please take a rest. The problems of the nation cannot be solved in one day anyway.
If I could have the same mentality as you, I wouldn't be so tired.
Your Majesty is concerned for the nation. I am only concerned for Your Majesty.
Of course the one who will be tired is Your Majesty.
Oh right, has there been any news from Mo Chou lately?
How is her court etiquette coming along?
Not well?
It's only been a few days. It would be weird if she were able to get it right.
Pass down my oral edict. Tell the Queen to close one eye.
Etiquette is of course good if it is present.
But if there are some deficiencies, it's also not that big of a deal.
Her Highness the Queen...
What about her?
Your Majesty, because Mo Chou wasn't familiar with court etiquette,
she was punished by the Queen to kneel and fast.
I heard that she was even caught in the rain for some time.
What?
This treatment by the Queen is getting increasingly out of hand!
Where is Mo Chou now? Take me to her quickly!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Don't...Ling Jun...
Ling Jun!
Your Highness Concubine Ying...
You still haven't learned well the proper etiquette here in the palace.
You just caught a cold. Let's dispense with ceremony.
Where am I?
This is the River Algae Palace. You fainted.
Don't move. I'll apply medication for you in a moment.
Thank you, Your Ladyship.
Just now, in your dream, you kept calling someone's name.
Is that so?
Why aren't you together with the person in your heart?
If you don't want to say it, then we'll leave it. I kind of envy you.
A person should always have some desire in life.
So what if I have a desire?
He already has a wife and family.
So what if he has a wife and family? Doesn't His Majesty have the Queen?
But he still has so many other consorts and concubines all the same.
That's not the same.
When you truly love someone, you won't be able to tolerate anyone extra.
Not even one. Don't you agree, Your Ladyship?
How would I know? In this harem,
hearts and emotions count for nothing.
Good or bad living, it's all just like this.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
River Algae Palace
-Your Majesty! -Hey, rest properly.
Forget about the etiquette.
Subtitles and Timing Brought To You By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Are you better?
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm much better.
I've already had someone see the Musician. She is just having a bad cold.
It's been hard on you, Consort Ying. From your complexion, you look much better too.
You still need to take good care of yourself.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Medicine.
Your Majesty, let me do it myself.
Does your head still hurt?
Your Majesty!
This slave deserves to die! It's just that Your Majesty, as the ruler of this kingdom,
treating me this way is not in line with the rules.
-You! -Enough.
Take a good rest. I'll come see you again soon.
Take care, Your Majesty.
This Mo Chou is preposterous! Your Majesty had the good intention to visit her.
She really doesn't know what's good for her.
I'm not even angry. What are you angry about?
I've seen enough of those women that are obedient in every matter.
Someone this resistant is different.
You're too daring! How could you say that to His Majesty?
I was really worried for you just now.
I, on the other hand, think that congratulations are in order.
Think about it, for His Majesty to specially visit a musician,
and not get angry at how he was treated just now,
if it were anyone else, the disaster would be unimaginable!
I would much rather he punished me. Even better, if he chased me out of the palace.
I understand your hardships.
Back then, when I was sent to Chu, it wasn't what I wanted.
But since I was already in Chu, it's better that I prioritize in protecting myself.
From now on, you can come here often. My River Algae Palace is very big.
There is only me, Nanny Lu, and Qin'er. It is quite lonely.
Thank you, Your Ladyship.
Qin'er...
Qin'er...
Qin'er must stay obedient. Do not randomly run around.
Princess is suffering from an illness of the heart.
Be good. Don't keep running around.
You must be good.
To really let Mo Chou kneel that long, I kind of can't bear it.
Your Highness, that is because you are kind.
If Consort Zheng and the others learned of this, don't know how they are going to harm people.
You are saying bad things again behind other people's back.
If you find your tongue to be too long, I can help you cut a bit of it off.
Your Lady Highness, can you really bear to do that?
Only in front of you can I dare say those things.
His Majesty has arrived!
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Get up.
Why didn't Your Majesty send someone ahead to let me know you were coming?
Then I would have been able to receive you without a break in propriety.
From your view, is propriety all that important?
Of course. The nation is vast.
Without rules and propriety, won't it be a mess?
There are important and less important manners and rites.
I think that as long as it doesn't affect one's graceful bearing, those useless protocols can be already be skipped.
Your Majesty, did you come here because of me punishing musician Mo Chou?
I am here especially to visit you, Queen.
Technically speaking, we are of different status and I have a more senior one. You should be the one to visit me.
If everything must follow proper etiquette, I'm afraid that from now on,
I won't be able to come to this Soft Fragrant Orchid Palace anymore to visit the Queen.
What Your Majesty lectured me is indeed right. I just did a minor punishment.
I was exactly about to go check on Mo Chou now.
It's best if that's how you think.
As the mistress of this harem, you need to uphold the rules, but...
what I would like to see even more, is harmony in the harem.
I understand.
Alright. I need to attend Court now.
Your wife sends you off.
Jasmine Flower Palace
It looks like I really underestimated Consort Ying.
Originally I thought that her judgment would be clouded by what happened to the child.
Who knew that she would be able to guess what His Majesty is thinking.
Through that vixen musician, she was able to hit on what His Majesty's interest is,
able to get love indirectly.
She really did a tough job.
So what? In the end, she's just a Qin that lost favor.
How could she possibly compare to you?
Furthermore, you still have Prince Zi Lan.
If Prince Zi Lan can be the Crown Prince,
then Your Highness will have more than enough riches.
That reminds me, where's Lan'Er?
A palace maid took him out.
Let's go. I want to see how Lan'Er has been doing reading his poems.
Yes ma'am.
I'm going to catch you! Catch you!
Come get me!
Come get me!
Come get me!
I caught one!
I'm over here, come get me!
Are you trying to rebel?
Greetings to Your Highness.
Mother.
Lan'Er come back with me!
Little Qiao, bring over the Prince's workbook.
Prince Zi Lan's Homework
This is your workbook?
How sloppy the writing is.
And you dare to have the nerve to play?
Recite Tangong from the Liji to me. (T/N Parts 3 and 4 of "The Book of Rites", one of the "Three Li")
"During Grandfather Gong Yi's funeral rites, Tan Gong was there."
"Rather than choosing his grandson, Gong Yi chose one of his other sons as successor."
"Tan Gong thought, "How could this be? I never heard about this.""
"Coincidentally, Bo Zi was to his right at the door."
"He said..."
"Said..."
I'm not going to recite it anymore! You don't even care about me usually.
All of a sudden you're interested and commanding me to recite this and recite that. I don't want to!
What nonsense are you talking about? Who doesn't care about you?
I caught you secretly playing today, yet you come back and blame me instead?
As Vice Chancellor Qu said, there must be a balance between strictness and relaxation.
When I'm studying, you don't see it, you only witness the times I'm playing,
- so you just judge that I'm someone who only wants to play. - You!
Not only that. Today, you didn't even ask for the reason and
just scolded my palace maids as well. You're too cold!
Your palace maids aren't virtuous. My scolding is considered a light punishment.
If something like today happens again, I'm going to banish all of them from the palace.
If you dare to banish even one of them, I'm never going to study again!
Your Highness, what do we do now?
It looks like we really do need to find someone to discipline him.
Who can control the Prince?
His teacher, Qu Yuan?
Isn't he getting a lot of favor right now?
Your Highness, you're the head of the Inner Palace.
Why must you stoop down to visit a measly musician?
What does being a Queen have to do with it?
Respect from the Inner Palace isn't based on how large the ornament on your head is,
but rather on how much you weigh in His Majesty's heart.
I was not aware Her Highness the Queen had arrived. Please forgive me for making Your Highness wait for so long.
No need. I just happened to pass by.
I wanted to see how Miss Mo Chou was doing.
Replying to Your Highness the Queen, Miss Mo Chou's health has not suffered too adversely.
It's just that she's currently accompanying the Princess on a walk outside.
She is not in River Algae Palace.
What unfortunate timing.
It's fine, I will come visit Miss Mo Chou and Little Sister Ying another day.
Qiu Lu, let's go.
Respectfully sending Your Lady Highness off.
Your Highness, why do you think Mo Chou is suddenly close with Concubine Ying who fell out of favor?
From my perspective, it would be more accurate to ask why the lonely Concubine Ying
is wanting to be close with the musician who suddenly has His Majesty's favor.
Let's go.
I can't believe that there's such a beautiful place in this palace.
Sister Ying, actually, as a Chu person,
I've always hated the Qin people down to the very core.
However, I don't know why but
every time I see you, I feel as if I've always known you.
Chu? Qin? It no longer holds any meaning for me.
I'm just a lowly woman in this vast palace.
Everyday, able to get food and drinks,
I'm just counting the days.
Perhaps you need to get away from here.
- That's impossible. - Why is it impossible?
You haven't tried it, how do you know it can't be done?
Little Sister, you are still too young.
You're full of fantasies. I envy you.

Master, Her Highness Consort Zheng is here.
- Hurry and ask her in. - Yes.
Respectfully greeting Your Lady Highness.
- Teacher. - Teacher doesn't need to do this etiquette anymore.
Teacher, you really are the world's number one poet. Just looking at these flowers, they are already very poetic.
Smelling the fragrance, also poetic.
I thought that Teacher can only write poems when you see a beautiful woman.
Teacher, your orchids are so beautiful.
Prince Zi Lan is also an orchid lover?
This kid has some fate with the orchid.
He was given the name Lan'er and he likes orchids since he was little.
Orchids are lofty and unsullied. People who love them also have such innate character.
Look at this child. The more he grows up, the more it is hard to control him.
When I try to discipline him now, I really lack in strength, despite wanting to teach him so much.
That's why I am asking Teacher to discipline him well.
Teacher, is that room your study?
Yes, Your Highness.
Don't know if you can take me inside to see it?
Your Highness, please.
Your Highness, this tea was made from the fallen orchid petals during the winter. May Your Highness have a taste.
Teacher doesn't use the petals that are present when the flowers are in full bloom.
One can really see that Teacher is a lover of orchids.
The orchid is affectionate, that's why it's fallen petals turn into soil just to make the flowers bloom more beautifully.
Then it means that Teacher is also an affectionate and loyal person.
I am not worthy to be compared to an orchid.
In my eyes, an orchid is way inferior to Teacher.
Teacher has affections of loving the orchid and protecting it.
No matter how affectionate this orchid is,
it won't be able to write a good poem like yours.
If my Lan'er can have intelligence and talents like Teacher's,
I will be contented then.
Your Highness is overpraising me. I feel a bit scared.
Is this Teacher's new poem?
Indeed.
Xiang Fu Ren ("The Lady of the Xiang", Nine Songs)
"I picked some flowering lilies on a small island,
to give as a present to the lady from afar."
"Wonderful times are hard to come by;
I'll just leisurely and relaxingly linger and wander for the mean time!"
Your Highness, I still haven't finished writing this poem.
Teacher, are you writing about a very beautiful woman?
It's just an imaginary woman.
Really? A woman in your imagination?
Just an imaginary woman, but was able to captivate Teacher like this.
Who are you? What are you doing?
This is Prince Zi Lan. Aren't you going to bow?
Prince Zi Lan? Why aren't you staying in the Palace and instead came here?
I...am here to look for my teacher. What's that got to do with you?
- Hey! Run slower! Don't slip! - Prince, don't run!
Don't they all say that poems are an expression of your feelings?
The Teacher in this poem is so affectionate.
How come the Teacher outside the poem
looks a bit unromantic?
Your Highness, poets being very affectionate is indeed true.
It's just that the emotions in a poem can be true if you want it to be true, false if you want it to be false.
And a poet's real emotions outside that of a poem aren't really something that a poem can totally accommodate.
Because if that's the case, then won't all people in this world that can write a few poems
be fickle in love?
Teacher Qu is known as Chu's number one poet.
Never thought that you are someone who doesn't know much about a woman's thoughts.
You really have an undeserved reputation.
Teacher, why must you be this overcautious?
You have such a handsome face and this outstanding ability.
Even if there is a woman who will fall for you,
that is also just a natural thing.
Your Highness, I will surely do my best in teaching Prince Zi Lan.
If Your Highness has no other business, please hurry and go back to the Palace.
Royal Mother! So you're here.
You made it hard for me to find you.
Prince!
Teacher Qu, about this poem "Lady of Xiang" of yours,
I really love it. The emotions were really written very vividly.
I want to ask you to write another copy and let Lan'er learn it well.
Let Lan'er learn your poetic skills too.
If Your Highness really loves it, I can just give it to you.
Lan'er, you should come here at Teacher Qu's place
more often.
Everyone says that Teacher Qu has excellent morality and studies.
Not only must you learn knowledge and skills from him,
you also should learn from his moral conduct too.
- Understand? - I understand.
Teacher.
I will obey your order.
I'm entrusting Lan'er to you then.
Respectfully greeting Your Highness.
All of you, leave first.
Yes.
Do you still remember who I am?
You are Prince Zi Lan's mother, a Royal Consort of the palace.
I am not talking about that.
The two of us once met before.
Don't know if you still remember it.
Your Majesty previously ordered me to send men to attack Qin.
Now that the army's morale is at its peak, may I ask Your Majesty when we will attack?
General Qu, how are the war preparations?
Our army was able to recruit a lot of new soldiers. Right now, they are training day and night.
They want to seek revenge from Qin.
May I ask General Qu, what kind of men have you recruited?
Minister Chen, what do you mean by that?
From what I heard, the new soldiers that the Qu army has recruited
are all old or disabled people. There are really no strong, young men.
How can an army like that go into battle?
Your Majesty, I am risking my life to say this.
We must not attack Qin!
Chen Zhen, what nonsense are you spouting!
Minister Chen, you say not to attack Qin.
Ask around, how many warriors have died because of this great battle?
How many generals that used to stand here are now buried on the battlefield?
How could you dare say such words?
Chancellor Zhao, eighty-thousand soldiers have died on the battlefield.
Of course, I grieved and lamented it!
Grieved and lamented?
How can a Qin understand the pain of the people of Chu?
Minister Chen, the whole Qu family died for the Chu country.
It's not long since they died yet.
If we don't attack Qin, have you asked the Qu family if they are willing to wait?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Chu country just got defeated.
What we should prioritize now is to groom the horses and train the troops, try to recuperate.
And not get confused by hatred and grudges, using exhausted officers to blindly attack the Qin.
Right now, there are many complaints and anger arising from the citizens of Yingdu.
If we recklessly attack Qin, I fear that it would be bring more bad than good outcome.
Your Majesty, there's something you don't know. Since the Qin country adopted the Shang Yang Reforms,
they increased the motivation for their army and were able to create an elite force.
We weren't defeated by the Qin army. We were defeated by their system.
What we should do now is to enforce reforms, reward those willing to farm or fight for the country, recuperate and build up energy.
A Qin will always be a Qin. You just keep saying good things about them.
- You... - Humph!
Chen Zhen, how long have you been in Chu?
Replying to Your Majesty, almost ten years already.
These past years, I treated skillful foreign subjects well,
and promoted them as special guests. I treated you graciously, right?
I have a great debt of gratitude towards Your Majesty.
I treated you like that because I hoped that you can suggest strategies for Chu,
help me govern in an enlightened way.
But never thought, that in the end, you are still talking about the good of the Qin country.
Your Majesty!
What use is it for me to keep you?
