Chronicle of Love

Episode 33

Wishing Your Highness well.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Why do you look so upset today, child?

Who has wronged you?

Grand Empress Dowager, you are my elder.

You are also the most intelligent woman in the palace.

I have a matter in which I wish to seek your advice.

What can I do to

gain His Majesty's attentions?

What's wrong?

You have just recently been given a higher consort ranking by the Emperor. Is he not treating you well?

Your Highness may not be aware.

The Emperor...

has been staying with Consort Wei in Qian Qing Palace these last few days.

He did not turn any other consorts' tablets. <i>*Stone tablets were used by emperors to signal which concubine he would spend the night with.*</i>

Consort Wei has been living in Qian Qing Palace with the emperor?

Whatever will happen next?

Your Majesty, the Grand Empress Dowager requests your presence.

The Grand Empress Dowager also requests the presence of Consort Wei.

Wishing Your Highness well.

Greetings to Your Highness.

- Rise. - Thank you, Grandmother.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I heard that Consort Wei, after returning to the Forbidden City, has been staying in Qian Qing Palace.

-Living and having meals along with you. -Yes.

Well in that case, you might as well demolish Yan Xi Palace and Cheng Qian Palace.

Grandmother, please cease your anger.

Cease my anger?

Wei Ling Lang, before you left the palace with the Emperor,

those words I said to you, do you remember?

I remember.

Then say it.

A woman who takes up all of His Majesty's love,

while it is a blessing,

that blessing

comes from the misfortune of many other women.

And...

Don't think that if I treat the Emperor well

then it is the right thing to do.

If I was being good to the Emperor, I should be considerate of other people.

So have you done as I asked you?

Do you really think the Emperor only belongs to you?

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

If you understand that you are wrong,

you need to leave Qian Qing Palace immediately.

Be dutiful in your rightful position.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Ling Lang,

is not able to leave His Majesty.

How dare you!

Who gave you the confidence to say such?

Grandmother,

I am the one in love with Ling Lang. I am the one who asked her to stay.

This is not her fault, if you need to fault someone, then fault me.

Have you forgotten that you are the Emperor?

Su Mo'er.

I'm here.

Go to the Board of Household Affairs and bring back Wei Ling Lang's green-top tablet.

Keep it here until the Emperor remember who he is.

When the Emperor remembers the other concubines in the palace, then he may have it returned.

Yes.

Wei Ling Lang.

I once thought you were an understanding girl.

You have let my trust down.

These days, stay in Chu Xiu Palace,

and reflect on your wrongdoings.

You are not permitted to even take half a step into Qian Qing Palace.

You are all dismissed for the moment.

How did it go?

Consort Ning's complaint was well received. Her Highness, the Grand Empress Dowager, has given her orders.

Consort Wei is no longer allowed in Qian Qing Palace.

Serves her right for keeping the Emperor all to herself.

What is this?

This is Consort Wei's clothes. Consort Ning should change into it.

Why should I change into her clothes?

If Consort Ning wishes to earn his majesty's love,

then you need to change into this first.

Fine. I'll listen to you for the time being.

Also, in front of the emperor,

Consort Ning can only say good about Consort Wei. You cannot say anything bad about her.

I know.

Bi Luo.

Tonight, who is serving the emperor?

I don't know.

Bi Luo.

You can have these items.

Consort, I cannot take these.

Consort has always treated me like a sister,

if there is something you need me to do, just tell me. I will make sure I do well.

Bi Luo.

Could you keep an eye on Chang Qing.

Don't ask me why. Just keep an eye on him.

Okay.

Also, try and find out from Qian Qing Palace,

I want to know everything that happens with the Emperor.

I understand, you can be at ease.

Ling Lang.

Wishing your majesty well.

Why are you wearing Ling Lang's clothes?

Your Majesty, Ling Lang and I are good sisters.

Before when we were living in Xin Zhe Ku, we often exchanged clothes to wear.

Not only clothes, even this string of jewels,

was also given to me by sister Ling Lang.

We've been together since we entered the palace.

In the blink of an eye, it's already three years.

Rise first.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty can't see sister, so because she is afraid that you will yearn for her,

she has asked that I come and see Your Majesty.

If Your Majesty misses sister,

perhaps I can tell Your Majesty some stories about her.

Tell them.

Among all of us, Ling Lang is the most diligent, most capable,

and most thoughtful one.

When we were working in Xin Zhe Ku, everyone was always tired after a day's work.

Once we've finished our work, we all just wanted to rest.

Only Ling Lang would think of cleaning and keeping our room tidy.

Yes.

She is truly like that.

Continue.

Your highness.

His majesty calls for Consort Ning to serve him for the night.

Keep telling the story.

By Buddha's blessings, I wish nothing bad happens to the Emperor.

His Majesty has summoned Consort Ning to service him in bed tonight.

Alright, I understand.

It's getting late and you should go rest.

It's getting late and Your Ladyship should rest as well.

Ling Lang is an elegant person.

We all say she doesn't seem like a Xin Zhe Ku person.

Definitely not seem like someone from a humble slave household.

No matter how you look at her, she just seems like a lady from a prestigious family.

She is versed in music and drawing, among all other things.

Most of us palace maids are illiterate and Ling Lang is the one who reads our letters from home for us.

Your Majesty, I know so much about Ling Lang.

But today I'm a bit tired.

Perhaps I could continue tomorrow for you?

Alright, you go to sleep then.

What about Your Majesty?

I'm not sleepy. You go ahead and sleep.

Yes, Sire.

Your Majesty,

it's getting late.

Preserving your imperial health is of the utmost importance.

It's almost time for court.

We'll talk about it after the court session.

What about Consort Ning?

Send her back.

Yes, Sir.

- Bidding a good morning to Your Majesty. - Did you miss me?

I just came to see you.

I miss you too.

After midday, I'll come see you.

I'm going to court now.

Yes, Sire.

Bidding Your Majesty farewell.

His Majesty turned Consort Ning's badge yesterday.

From olden times, the Emperor cherishing only one woman has not been a good thing.

I hope he understands my toiling of the heart for him.

Grand Empress Dowager, may you not worry.

His Majesty would not disappoint you.

Has His Majesty finished with court?

Replying to Your Ladyship, His Majesty met with a few officials in the imperial library.

I fear he's still there.

Who is serving at His Majesty's side today?

I don't know about that.

You're missing me?

Your Majesty. Rise.

Eunuch De, your injury's healed?

Greetings to Consort Wei.

His Majesty saw that I came to work today and he was happy, so he brought me to see you.

That's wonderful.

I knew if you saw Little De,

you'd be very happy.

Your Majesty, I made mungbean lily soup for you. Have some.

Ling Lang,

you are so good to me. How should I reward you?

Your Majesty,

you should drink more mungbean soup.

Alright. I will continue to drink.

Yuan Er, do you think His Majesty would like this rose scent?

He definitely will.

His Majesty summons Consort Ning for bedservice.

Yuan Er, hurry and dress me.

Your servant greets Consort Wei.

His Majesty summoned Consort Ning again.

It's not urgent news whom he summons.

But is Eunuch De staying by His Majesty the whole time?

Yes.

That's good then.

Ling Lang is very brave. She's not scared of anything.

She can catch a snake with her hands.

But the only thing she's scared of is spiders.

<i>Spider! Did it leave?</i>

<i>No. Still here. Very huge.</i>

<i>Hurry and get it. Chase it out.</i>

Your Majesty.

Oh, you go rest.

Why did you stop?

- Your Majesty. - Don't move.

I know you're missing me.

So I came to see you.

Here, accompany me on a tune.

Your Majesty, this isn't suitable.

You should return.

Your Majesty...

If you stay at Chu Xiu Palace today...

the etiquette office can't record it.

I know. No need for your busy mouth.

You are all dismissed.

Yes, Sire.

I know when I'm not here you can't sleep well.

Look at the circles under your eyes.

Let me watch over you.

After you're sound asleep, I'll leave.

<i> Rain and wind sighing our warmth and cold </i>

<i> Yesterday leaves and repeats as Spring rain pours </i>

<i> Flowers bloom and fall in cycles chilling our hearts </i>

<i> Pear blossoms abundant on ground without anyone caring </i>

<i> If only life is just a first meeting </i>

<i>Unwitting of the changes that are to come </i>

<i> Spring flower and Autumn moon the perfect beauties </i>

<i>never ever-lasting </i>

<i> like today </i>

<i>Rain and wind leaning as we each watch sunset alone </i>

<i>realizing a meeting of then would be a lifetime yearning </i>

<i>Spring comes and Autumn leaves in cycles our yearnings unspeakable </i>

<i> a dash deeply engaved </i>

Your Majesty, Consort Ning still awaits.

I will sleep at the imperial library tonight.

His Majesty has me telling him about Ling Lang every night.

But he hasn't looked at me properly even once.

It's so frustrating.

In the back palaces,

there are so many consorts holding higher titles than your Ladyship.

They don't get to see His Majesty for years.

But His Majesty has summoned you repeatedly for bedservice.

When the word get out, it will be such an honor.

As long as you receive His Majesty's grace,

no matter how much, it'll all come in handy.

Think about it, from now on who'd dare to give you a hard time within the harem?

That might sound right, but this won't be a long-term matter .

If people find out one day,

wouldn't I become their biggest laughing stock?

You and I are riding on the same boat now.

I would do all my best to help you.

Then you should think of a way

to deal with how His Majesty turns my badge every night

and yet he sleeps in the imperial library.

What do I do?

Why didn't it occur to you to go with His Majesty to the imperial library?

How can I? If His Majesty finds fault with me...

I wouldn't be able to handle it.

I will find a way to help you, of course.

So His Majesty doesn't fault you.

<i>I followed Chang Qing today and found that he went to Hua Yang Palace again.</i>

He went to see Hua Zhu?

I don't know, but it's true that he and Consort Ning have had a lot of meetings lately.

Consort Wei, do you suppose His Majesty's frequent summoning of Consort Ning...

could it be linked to him?

Your Majesty.

Consort Ning awaits at the palace.

Tell her to rest early.

I will sleep at the imperial library tonight.

Yes, Sire.

Consort Ning.

His Majesty says for you to rest early.

He's sleeping at the imperial library tonight.

I understand.

Your Ladyship, I put acacia in His Majesty's incense burner.

After an hour, he will become excited.

Then, you can get your wish.

You helped me and some day I will reward you.

Thank you, Your Ladyship.

Also, this is the tea His Majesty loves the most.

Then, I will not bother you anymore.

Dog emperor.

Your death date is nigh!

Your Majesty!

Consort, what's wrong?

Who's serving His Majesty right now?

He turned Consort Ning's badge today.

I need to make a trip to Qian Qing Palace.

Consort Wei, that's not proper.

Word could get out that you're competing with Consort Ning for His Majesty's attention.

Grand Empress Dowager wouldn't be pleased.

I can't care about that.

<i>Ai Xin-Jue Luo, Xuan Ye</i> (Tribal name of the Emperor Kang Xi)

<i>it's time for me to clean things up for you.</i>

<i>Your Majesty.</i>

Ling Lang.

Drink this.

Your Majesty should rest.

Ling Lang, why are you here?

May Your Majesty please take up my grievance. It's clearly supposed to my turn to service you tonight.

But Consort Wei's behavior is not abiding by the rules.

Speaking of rules,

do you think you dressing like Lin Lang is abiding to rules?

You're dismissed.

Dismissed!

Yes, Sire.

Your consort takes her leave.

Why are you here?

Your Majesty...

I know you've suffered these days.

If Ye San sincerely wants to be with Liang'er,

then they should be together.

Who cares about others.

Your Majesty,

I broke the rules today.

If Grand Empress Dowager finds out, she will fault me.

Your Majesty should sleep.

Your Majesty.

I take my leave.

Ling Lang.

I prepared everything.

All it took was for him to think Hua Zhu was you and drink that tea.

Then his life would've ended in death.

I almost had it done! Why did you appear?

Brother, I won't let you kill him.

You like him that much?

Yes.

I like him.

I can't let him go.

You can't let him go, but you can let go of mother and father?

You ought to know

Mother and Father are watching you from above.

I won't be with him.

I'll leave him.

Let's leave together. Far away. Please?

I beg you.

Do you know how I've spent these years?

In order to avenge, I've made myself an eunuch.

I lost everything.

Yun Chu is gone now too.

There's no turning back.

No,

you can't kill him.

Whether I like him or not is a petty matter.

However, he is Great Qing's Emperor.

He's a good emperor.

If you kill him, how many would become like us?

No home to go to. Have you thought about it?

If you want to kill him,

you kill me first.

This is just too much!

She's duped me too much!

Consort Ning, Consort Wei is here.

You take your leave.

Are you satisfied now?

I'm sorry.

I've only worn your clothes daily and telling His Majesty stories of you.

In order for His Majesty to summon me.

I clearly am very jealous of you.

But I had to act like a great friend to you.

Because that's the only way His Majesty would pay attention to me.

It's taken me so long to get to today.

But why did you have to do that?

I'm sorry, Hua Zhu.

I have my reasons.

Your reasons?

Isn't it a fact that you don't want others to take His Majesty?

About this matter...

I will explain to you later on.

Stop being pretentious! Get out!

From now on we are finished. I don't want to ever see you again.

Young Master, please drink the medicine.

I don't want to drink this anymore. It's too bitter.

Young Master, His Majesty is here.

Why wasn't I notified of His Majesty's visit?

I just came through the door.

Be at ease.

Your Majesty.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hurry and get up. Sit well.

How is your injury? Any better?

- My injury-- - Your Majesty,

he wouldn't drink this saying it's too bitter.

I know it's bitter,

but you won't heal completely without drinking medicine.

Here, drink it.

Yes, Sire.

Eunuch De.

I heard Ling Lang's been promoted to a Day ing Consortship.

Is she well?

Well. Very well.

That's good then.

What's wrong? Sit.

Does His Majesty have a worry?

Your Majesty's worry... is it about Ling Lang?

Even though Ling Lang continues to be by me,

I still feel such a distance.

I can't guess what's on her mind.

Because Your Majesty cares too much for Ling Lang,

hence you are suffering about your loss.

I worry,

I worry I will lose her.

You should trust in Ling Lang's sincerity.

Eunuch De, I have a matter I want to request of you.

Please give me whatever order you have for me.

His Majesty's food and the things he might use...

incense, tea, clothing, pillow, blanket,

places he might go to and the water he will bathe in,

please take extra care so His Majesty won't suffer any mishaps.

Consort Wei, please be at ease.

Consort Wei, I beg your pardon for meddling.

But that Chang Qing, you didn't use to like him.

How come now you...

Before I didn't understand him.

He is not a bad person.

On the account he's saved your life, I will dismiss his wrongdoings from before.

Chang Qing has never worked in the Imperial Palace before.

He may not understand many rules. Please bid him extra care.

So as to avoid anything going amiss.

Consort Wei, don't worry.

Eunuch Chang, allow me.

Sir, this is my duty.

You saved Consort Wei before so you needn't work so hard. Do something easier instead.

Thank you for your help then.

Your Majesty, tea.

Your Majesty, snack.

Your Majesty, towel.

Your Majesty.

Eunuch Chang, allow me.

Little De, don't compete for every little task.

Replying to His Majesty, Consort Wei's given me orders

regarding Your Majesty's food, tools,

incense, tea, clothes, sheets and blanket.

Also, where you will go and that I should attend you closely.

<i>Winter and Spring have passed away </i>

<i>Summer ends with Autumn wind, pear blossoms fall by rain </i>

<i>Clear water and blue wave </i>

<i>She hums the song in whisper with languish </i>

<i>Fragrant snow goes into dream, flute draws out Spring </i>

<i>like a hundred turns and a thousand folds </i>

<i>Fate of past life </i>

<i>into this life </i>

<i>A thousand drinks </i>

<i>watching the candle burn, a familiar flute song to the ear </i>

<i>Awaken by the shake of bamboo shadow upon the window, could it be a letter you asked the wind to deliver? </i>

<i>The ink under the pen filled with love and regret </i>

<i>Words are like you </i>

<i>breaking my heart </i>

<i>I miss you. My heart shattered by time </i>

<i>Galloping a thousand miles still unable to meet you </i>

<i>It is too late. I can only resent loving too late </i>

<i>I wish to go back to the first meeting </i>

<i>To look at you. Admire you in secret. </i>

<i> To love you </i>

<i>I miss you. My heart shattered by time </i>

Writing Subtext in Dialogue - Duration: 14:44.

Here's a fact of life: People don't always say exactly what they mean.

We might say "I'm fine," when we really mean "I'm having a crappy day, but I don't

want to burden you with that."

We use euphemisms to soften the blow when we fire someone or break up with someone.

Communication often involves this kind of subtext, a term Gotham Writers defines as

"the meaning beneath the dialogue; what the speaker really means, even though he's

not saying it directly."

In fiction, not every conversation needs a second layer of meaning, but if you ever get

feedback that your dialogue feels unnatural or too on the nose, it likely relates to a

lack of subtext.

The remedy to this can be found in the words of Janet Burroway:

"…if you're aware as you're writing that both characters have their own desires and

conflicting emotions, if you allow them to reveal some of their feelings and hide others,

they will become authentic and believable."

Now, let's look at specific ways to create nuanced conversations between characters.

A contradiction between a character's words and body language can provide a glimpse into

hidden thoughts.

A liar might say, "I dunno," but the way she licks her dry lips suggests she knows

more than she's letting on.

Flirting also entails nonverbal cues and dropping hints to see if another person reciprocates

our feelings.

We might stand a little closer or invite someone over to our house as a way of expressing

romantic interest.

We can see body language subtext in action in the historical drama Gone with the Wind

by Margaret Mitchell.

This scene features the story's two main characters: the flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara

and the charming Rhett Butler.

Rhett has just given Scarlett a new bonnet as a gift.

Right before they exchange dialogue, there's a passage describing Scarlett's internal musings.

She notices Rhett staring at her lips, and she assumes he's going to try and kiss her.

She debates about whether or not she wants him to, but ultimately decides she'll allow

it because it would be exciting and entertaining for him to fall in love with her.

Here's the dialogue that follows: But he made no move to kiss her.

She gave him a sidelong glance from under her lashes and murmured encouragingly.

"So you always get paid, do you?

And what do you expect to get from me?"

"That remains to be seen."

"Well, if you think I'll marry you to pay for the bonnet, I won't," she said

daringly and gave her head a saucy flirt that set the plume to bobbing.

His white teeth gleamed under his little mustache.

"Madam, you flatter yourself.

I do not want to marry you or anyone else.

I am not a marrying man."

"Indeed!" she cried, taken aback and now determined that he should take some liberty.

"I don't even intend to kiss you, either."

"Then why is your mouth all pursed up in that ridiculous way?"

"Oh!" she cried as she caught a glimpse of herself and saw that her red lips were

indeed in the proper pose for a kiss.

"Oh!" she cried again, losing her temper and stamping her foot.

"You are the horridest man I have ever seen and I don't care if I never

lay eyes on you again!"

The subtext here for Scarlett is "Kiss me," and she's trying to trick Rhett into it,

but he sees through her charade and calls her out on her body language.

The subtext of his dialogue is "I know you're trying to manipulate me."

Scarlett's last line is obviously overdramatic and untrue.

She's frustrated about having been found out, so she says something she doesn't actually mean.

Her words, her actions, and even her thoughts are at odds with one another.

Sometimes, seemingly trivial reactions can mask a deeper, secondary emotion.

A sister could refuse to let her brother borrow her car because she says he'll wreck it,

but in reality, she's mad because he wants to use it to take her best friend out on a date.

So, the character's reaction to a smaller issue is actually about a larger problem.

F. Scott Fitzgerald achieves this type of subtext in The Great Gatsby, when Daisy visits

Gatsby's mansion and sees his collection of expensive shirts:

He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer

linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered

the table in many-colored disarray.

While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher—shirts with stripes

and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, with monograms

of Indian blue.

Suddenly, with a strained sound, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.

"They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds.

"It makes me sad because I've never seen such—such beautiful shirts before."

Daisy's tears have more to do with her and Gatsby's relationship than his clothes.

She's lamenting lost love and opportunity.

She says, "They're such beautiful shirts," when she really means, "I'm heartbroken

because now that we can finally be together without any class barriers, we can't, because

I'm already married."

This scene shows up again and again in articles that discuss subtext—and the reason it's

such a memorable moment is because there's a second conversation hidden beneath

the surface-level dialogue.

Some people might sugarcoat the truth to play by the rules of social etiquette.

If your friend asks what you think of her mom, it's more acceptable to say she's

kind of "eccentric" or "unique" rather than "weird" or "crazy."

We often skirt the truth to avoid hurting our loved one's feelings, such as when we

ask our spouses if they liked our novel, and they say, "It was good!

I mean, great."

Fiction writers can learn a lot about conveying subtext through words alone from stage plays.

Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman provides a model for how characters beat around the bush.

The salesman is Willy, and in this scene, he's trying to ask his young boss, Howard,

if he can stop traveling for work: WILLY: Well, tell you the truth, Howard.

I've come to the decision that I'd rather not travel anymore.

HOWARD: Not travel!

Well, what'll you do?

WILLY: Remember, Christmas time, when you had the party here?

You said you'd try to think of some spot for me here in town.

HOWARD: With us?

WILLY: Well, sure.

HOWARD: Oh, yeah, yeah.

I remember.

Well, I couldn't think of anything for you, Willy.

WILLY: I tell ya, Howard.

The kids are all grown up, y'know.

I don't need much anymore.

If I could take home—well, sixty-five dollars a week, I could swing it.

HOWARD: Yeah, but Willy, see I— WILLY: I tell ya why.

Howard.

Speaking frankly and between the two of us, y'know—I'm just a little tired.

HOWARD: Oh, I could understand that, Willy.

But you're a road man, Willy, and we do a road business.

We've only got a half-dozen salesmen on the floor here.

WILLY: God knows, Howard.

I never asked a favor of any man.

But I was with the firm when your father used to carry you in here in his arms.

HOWARD: I know that, Willy, but— WILLY: Your father came to me the day you

were born and asked me what I thought of the name of Howard, may he rest in peace.

HOWARD: I appreciate that, Willy, but there just is no spot here for you.

If I had a spot I'd slam you right in, but I just don't have a single solitary spot.

The subtext of Willy's dialogue is a desperate plea: "I want an office job, and you should

pity me because I've been here a long time and I knew your father."

Howard's replies, meanwhile, are all variations of "no," with the implication that Willy

isn't good enough of an employee for a non-traveling position.

The characters clash because they have conflicting motivations.

They interrupt, avoid giving direct answers, and overuse each other's names in an attempt

at politeness, creating a strong subtext.

In interrogation scenes and arguments between lovers, it's common to see implied accusations.

If a police officer asks you, "What were you doing last Saturday, huh?", you can

be pretty sure they're insinuating you were somehow involved in the crime.

This type of implied accusation is used in Harlan Coben's thriller novel Tell No One.

The first-person narrator, Dr. David Beck, is taken in for questioning about his wife's murder.

His interrogators are special agents Nick Carlson and Tom Stone.

Carlson and Stone exchanged a quick glance.

"The name Sarah Goodhart has surfaced in connection with an ongoing investigation," Carlson said.

"What investigation?" I asked.

"We'd rather not say."

"I don't understand.

How am I connected into this?"

Carlson let loose a sigh, taking his time on the exhale.

He looked over at his rotund partner and suddenly all smiles were gone.

"Am I asking a complicated question here, Tom?"

"No, Nick, I don't think so."

"Me neither."

Carlson turned his eyes back at me.

"Maybe you object to the form of the question, Doc.

That it?"

The literal version of the conversation might go:

"Stop lying.

You obviously know something about this case."

The protagonist catches on to their accusatory attitude and tries to further evade their questions.

This leads to greater tension, as the reader wonders if the interrogators will arrest the

narrator as a suspect in his wife's murder.

Most of us have been on the receiving end of passive aggressiveness or sarcasm.

A mother might guilt trip her rebellious teenager by saying, "Go ahead. Ignore me.

It's not like I spent 12 hours in labor with you or anything."

Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" drips with

passive-aggressive dialogue.

A couple sits outside a building at a train station in Spain, having drinks.

The elephant in the room is the fact that the girl is pregnant, and her lover wants

her to get an abortion during a time when it is very much illegal, and she's not sure

what she wants to do —yet the word "abortion" is not used once in the story.

We can feel the crackling tension between the couple even when they're making idle

conversation about the scenery: "They look like white elephants," she said.

"I've never seen one," the man drank his beer.

"No, you wouldn't have."

"I might have," the man said.

"Just because you say I wouldn't have doesn't prove anything."

They both seem to be overreacting to a simple comment, hinting at a deeper issue between them.

The girl's frustration isn't really about her lover failing to acknowledge her white

elephants comment but about a larger problem in their relationship: he no longer shows

affection toward her, now that she's pregnant.

As their conversation goes on, we get the sense that she feels their relationship is

doomed, even if she does get an abortion: "But if I do it, then it will be nice again

if I say things are like white elephants, and you'll like it?"

In real life, we rely on this type of subtext to broach difficult conversations.

Here, the white elephants are a vehicle the characters use to indirectly discuss their

relationship problems, without having to face the pain of confronting hard questions directly.

Hemingway is known for his minimalistic style, and you probably noticed that this story reads

more like a stage play or a screenplay.

His style adheres to his Iceberg Theory of writing, also known as the theory of omission.

He once stated: "If a writer of prose knows enough about

what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer

is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the

writer had stated them.

The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water."

Essentially, this means that sometimes less is more.

Hemingway gives his readers little context, allowing his dialogue to speak for itself,

putting the responsibility of dissecting its meaning into the reader's hands.

Vague references to a "simple operation" enables the author to talk about a taboo subject

like abortion.

Similar types of euphemisms can be used for other touchy topics.

In any given scene, a character might hold back their true emotions to avoid hurting

another person, embarrassing themselves, showing vulnerability, or facing a hard truth.

We rely on subtext when we have something to lose, like our pride, safety, comfort,

or happiness.

However, we might misinterpret someone's intentions and assume they're angry at us

when they're only frustrated at the situation.

We might mine for a subtext that doesn't exist in asking our partners what they meant

when they said nothing was wrong.

We might miscommunicate our own feelings, making someone think we dislike them, when

in fact we're just tired.

Sometimes, we're unaware of our own feelings, yet others can still sense our true emotions

through the words we choose and our nonverbal cues.

That's the beauty of subtext—it creates conflict, which makes for an engaging story.

When characters skirt around a tough conversation, it puts readers on the edge of their seats

with anticipation as they wait for the truth to bubble to the surface.

We itch to know how the exchange will play out and what consequences the characters will face.

During a first draft, it's okay to have placeholders that state the characters'

direct meaning.

But when you go back to revise highly emotional scenes, try to have the characters convey

their thoughts without explicitly stating them.

Your readers will pick up on the subtext and be more engaged as a result—you're giving

the audience a puzzle to solve and adding realism.

As a writing exercise, imagine a conversation between two characters.

Determine their initial relationship—are they a married couple, a boss and an employee,

a suspect and an interrogator?

Then, have them argue about something.

You can identify the literal feelings you want to convey first, before thinking about

how the character would actually present this information, given the social norms or their

relationship with the other character.

Imply those feelings through dialogue and actions.

For instance, a character's literal meaning might be "I'm pissed off because you didn't

let me buy a labradoodle, and you claim that owning a dog would be 'too expensive,'

but you're a hypocrite about spending money."

In actual dialogue, that might be translated to "How much was that drone toy thing you

never use?

Two grand?

You're always buying useless crap."

Think about how the characters want to present themselves.

What reaction are they trying to evoke or avoid from the other person?

Is this conversation actually about something else they're not openly discussing?

Let tension arise from miscommunication.

What are your favorite examples of subtext in dialogue?

I'd love to hear them in the comments.

Whatever you do, keep writing. <3

Bread Storage Solution ~How I Store My Bread ~ Small Kitchen Organization ~ Noreen's Kitchen - Duration: 8:07.

Hi everyone and welcome back to my kitchen today, we're going to talk about my bread storage solution

I've mentioned before in a couple of videos that I have a specific way that I store bread in my kitchen and

Many of you have asked me throughout the years. How do I store my bread so today?

We're going to address that topic let's go see how this all comes together

This is how we store our bread in our kitchen was over there. We keep it in that corner over there and

After many years of how do we store our bread?

Do we we've tried baskets where we had a basket with the bread in it

We've tried a breadbox, which you know then things get piled on top of the breadbox

And you have to move thing the breadbox isn't big enough and so it took us a long time to figure out

What suited our family best?

so

Because we have an extremely small kitchen

This works for us

we literally went to Walmart and we got the bread that we usually buy and

Thought you know. What are the things that we always have on hand and we put them in the cart

And then we walked over to where the plastic containers are and then we had made a measurement of how much

Space we had

Height wise from the counter to underneath the cabinet, so this is what works for us

We got this big bin, and I'm just gonna set this over here, and I'm gonna show you box by box

What's in each of these things so we have this larger box?

Because we usually when I don't make my own bread and honestly. I don't make my own bread very often because we're super busy and

When it's going to be summertime

I don't make bread at all we buy it so I usually buy this what they call pan bread

It's usually on sale in my area buy one get one free somewhere whether it's Publix or Harris Teeter

And then if Walmart has it if no one has it on sale Walmart has it the cheapest so this will fit in here

Easily and right now. We have a partial. Oh I always have a loaf of rye bread in here and

This will fit in there as well a whole loaf will fit in there as well

Next to the white bread or the wheat bread depending on what we purchased right now

There's some rice cakes in here because my girls had them

And then we almost always have these brioche buns whether I get them from Aldi

Or from Walmart, and we love them

And they're great for sandwiches or burgers or what have you and then we have like a random one so at any given time?

There's white bread rye bread rolls there could be Italian bread in here

But if you work it like a puzzle. It will all fit properly and thing will get squished now

the middle box

We keep sometimes like today for example I have a package of hot dog buns a package of hamburger buns

And you might think these look like if they were a little smashed, but they're really not these are not smashed

We just put the lid on it and it you know it took the form of the the lid

But sometimes we'll fill this with granola bars or nut bars energy bars snacks that the girls can come and grab

You know those yogurt bars and stuff so it depends at any given time. What's in here right now?

We don't have any snack bars on hand and we're planning to have

Burgers and hotdogs at some point for dinner a couple of nights this week

So we thought the a good example would be to show you the hamburger buns

And the hotdog buns you can easily store homemade breads in here

You just need to make sure that they're wrapped tightly in plastic and then putting them in the plastic

Containers keeps them fresher longer, and it inhibits molding as well now

I have this additional bin

which

Because we probably don't need three bins for bread

But this is what I use it for this is for overflow spice jars

I have a jar of taco seasoning in here

This is my homemade taco seasoning, and then I have an open partial open bag of pasta shells

so if I have

open pasta like if I have open macaroni or

Something maybe I opened a bag of orzo or a bag of pasta that we cooked for lunch

And we only use half it will go in this bin

That way when I want to make some then I'll check this bin first

And I'll see oh I haven't opened something and I'll go ahead and I'll use that first

But this you know this is up to you you want that third, bin you go for it. I figure there's always

It's always a good idea to have extra storage space and if you're going to have this under your kitchen cabinet anyway

Use up the space that you have the linear space is going to be

Really a very welcome thing so why not use the space you have measure out

find the bins that you like I happen to like I happen to like these bins the best because I like the

Configuration I like that the handles snap-on and the lid it's easy in and out

but it's a

Space with these feelings for you exactly maybe

You only room for two of these larger bins or maybe only a room for a large bin and a skinny bin?

Maybe the skinny bin doesn't work for you at all

We're working with what we got and that's what you have to do to so that is how we store our bread?

And when I make homemade bread I wrap it in a bread bag

And I just slice it up first

Because you have to slice the bread first after its cooled otherwise

people will come behind you and try and slice it and if they

They they will mess up your bread

I'm just saying so just wrap it in a plastic bag or in plastic wrap stick it in the bin boom you're done

I don't know about you, but when I make homemade bread. It doesn't last very long anyway, so

you know that's just how it goes, but this is how we store our bread in our kitchen and

For any of you folks out there who have cats

Now you know we do not condone our cats getting on the counter where we always have to chase them off

but when you have cats sometimes they have a mind of their own and

And if you harden if you're sleeping the cats will decide what they're going to do

one of the main reasons that we have our bread and containers like this is because

cats for some reason find bread bags and bread irresistible

And they will chew through a bag of bread and it will upset you and it will make you mad

So this alleviates that entire problem as well plus it keeps your bread a little bit fresher

But that is our bread storage solution. I hope this gives you an idea

I hope it you know these are helpful tips and tricks because this is what works for us

They might not work for you

It might not be something that fits into your life or into your kitchen or into your space

But it works for us, and it doesn't look bad it keeps things neat and tidy it keeps your bread fresh

And I just wanted to pass this along so if you enjoyed it. I hope you give it a try

I hope this inspires you to maybe see what you can do and we're into your life

And maybe it's helpful from that end so I hope you enjoyed today's video

CNN 10 - March 1, 2018 | "Star wars" is how you could describe today | CNN Student News - Duration: 10:01.

Great to have you watching this special edition of CNN 10.

I`m Carl Azuz at the CNN Center.

We`re covering a subject today that`s both fascinating and alarming, a potential war

in space.

Unlike modern international conflicts that have

involved air, land and sea, troops, weapons and artillery, the next major world war, if

there ever is one, could be held at a place distant from

anywhere on earth, potentially killing no one but affecting almost everyone, a war unseen

with the naked eye but felt across the nation.

CNN`s Jim Sciutto takes us to the battlefield that`s miles over our heads.

CNN`s Jim Sciutto takes us to the battlefield that`s miles over our heads.

It is an arms race.

Is the U.S. at risk of losing?

I think so.

In outer space.

Looks like a communications satellite, when in actuality, it is also a

weapon.

Threats of a potential World War III.

I think it`s an inevitability over time.

Unimaginable weapons.

So, you could kidnap another satellite?

Essentially.

Designed to bring America to its knees.

Our satellites are at risk.

And our ground infrastructure is at

risk.

Standby!

Data building in Florida.

What can the U.S. possibly do to prevent this catastrophe?

This is a Q sat.

To find out, we go inside and underground.

So, this is the global operations.

With rare access to the places and the people preparing for "War in Space: The Next Battlefield".

As the sun sets and the nation goes to sleep, the battle for supremacy in space is about

to begin.

One final night before Americans wake up to a new

and daunting reality.

Ten a.m.

New York, 7:00 a.m.

Los Angeles, cities normally buzzing with the morning rush suddenly stall.

TV networks start to go dark.

Internet

connections run slow.

ATMs begin to malfunction.

There`s confusion.

No panic, not yet, as stealth cyber attacks are racing through the U.S. at the speed of

light.

Then you have the question of is it a cascading effect or not?

By noon in New York and 9:00 a.m. in Los Angeles, financial markets, dependent on exact timing

provided by GPS, are frozen.

Mobile

phone services already patchy, fail.

Confusion gives way to growing fears this is much more than a simple cyber glitch.

Many traffic lights and railroad signals also timed by GPS default to red, bringing transport

to a standstill.

Commercial air traffic is grounded, as

pilots lose navigation and weather data.

Power stations and water treatment plants begin to stop functioning.

This feels like utter science fiction, and yet it`s not.

By now, Americans know the country is under some kind of attack.

And they look to the Armed Forces to spring into action.

Stand by!

Data building in Florida.

But the world`s greatest military is struggling to respond.

Military pilots and drones lose contact with the ground.

GPS-guided smart

bombs are rendered dumb.

Warships lose contact with commanders.

This is the nightmare scenario, chaos on earth, as our adversaries launch a massive cyber

attack on key infrastructure and disable and destroy our

satellites in space, the first shots in the first space war.

Explosions in space that no one will hear.

Peter Singer wrote about this diary scenario in his book, "Ghost Fleet," and he now advises

the Defense Department on just this type of

threat.

You are now in World War III.

So, besides losing your ability to take out money from an ATM, your nation is in World

War III.

This is not fantasy.

This is the future, a future for which the U.S. is now urgently preparing.

If you say, is it inevitable, and the answer is probably yes.

General John Hyten, until recently the head of U.S. Space Command, has now been promoted

to lead strategic command -- charged with

crucial missions ranging from commanding nuclear warfare to cyber warfare to war in space.

Anytime human beings have come to new territory and contested it, conflict has followed.

Human beings forever have wanted to explore what`s beyond the hill, the horizon, and as

we go out there, there`s always been conflict.

Conflict in the Wild West as we moved into the West, conflict twice in Europe, for its

horrible world wars.

So, every time human beings actually physically move into that, there`s conflict.

And in that case, we`ll have to be prepared for that.

This new contested territory, however, is mind boggling, 73 trillion cubic miles.

The space surveillance network has been transmitting observations.

And the early signs by U.S. leaders` own admissions are disturbing for life as Americans know

it.

In 2015, the Pentagon expressed

grave concern that America was not ready for war in space.

It was proven right when month`s later, U.S. Space Forces were overwhelmed in war games

that targeted U.S. space assets.

It does get ugly in a hurry.

If it goes kinetic, it gets ugly really bad.

Kinetic warfare, meaning that shots are fired in space, would cause permanent damage and

destruction to the fragile satellites that

control much of our life on earth.

Like a space-age Paul Revere, General William Shelton, Hyten`s immediate predecessor at

Space Command, has been sounding the alarm.

Did action, though, start quickly enough?

You`re talking to a guy that was looking to really precipitate action and I would say

the answer was no.

Could we by an active defense of

our own satellites?

The answer is no.

You could not today defend satellite assets we have?

Not, certainly not on orbit.

Clearly, there are things you can do on the ground.

But space to space, no.

Perhaps worst of all, American adversaries know it, that the U.S. is not prepared.

And that the U.S., more than any other

nation, depends on space.

Our ability to be this sort of unique 21st century kind of power depends on space being

a sanctuary for us.

But also, it means there`s an

incentive to take that away from us.

Who are those adversaries?

They will sound familiar from standoffs down here on earth, Russia and China.

We have very good surveillance and intelligence capability, so we can see the threats that

are being built.

And that`s China in particular.

China in particular.

Russia is also working on those capabilities.

But that`s something you`re preparing for.

So, I imagine, nothing is off-limits, in effect?

We`re developing capabilities to defend ourselves.

It`s really that simple.

And so, the U.S. finds itself in a new, more ominous space race.

Is the U.S. at risk of losing a war?

I think so.

We`d be silly to say it`s not a possibility.

That`s what any defense planner will tell you, is don`t look for the ideal

outcome, plan for the worst day, so that you can survive it.

Coming up.

The wake-up call really was January of 2007when the Chinese tested their anti-satellite weapon.

The first shots in space have already been fired.

Well, that`s all for the special sort of "Star Wars" edition of CNN.

Thanks for watching.

I`m Carl Azuz.

Episode 32

Your story

Yun Chu had already told me.

She told you what?

Your family all perished.

Yun Chu said

you had a younger sister.

On your sister's 10th birthday

your whole family

died, except you, who climbed out from a pile of dead.

Barely staying alive.

This is your favorite weapon.

A three-pointed spike.

Since you know so much,

I can't let you live. You are Yun Chu's close sister. Go be with her.

Today is Liang'er's birthday.

Mother's cakes.

Brother would let Liang'er eat them all.

<i>I told you not to take any but you are.</i>

<i>Fine, these are all yours.</i>

<i>That's better.</i>

Brother.

Asihai Brother.

I am Liang'er.

I am Liang'er! I am your sister.

I didn't die.

Mother covered me.

She told me to live on.

<i>Hurry and close your eyes.</i>

<i>Liang'er.</i>

<i>Promise me you will live.</i>

<i>Promise Mother.</i>

I am your sister.

Pick up the speed.

What is it?

Continue our plan. Kidnap Wei Lin Lang and threaten that dog emperor.

No.

I have other ways to kill that dog emperor.

What? What did Wei Lin Lang give you?

Why did you change your mind so quick?

If you dare to touch her,

I will kill you.

What are you thinking?

These days have been like a dream.

To me also.

Your Majesty.

Why is your heart beating so fast?

We're about to return to the Palace and I'm scared.

Don't be afraid. From now on, I will handle everything.

I have already made my plan.

When things are settled,

I will connect the east garden to the south and north gardens.

I'll make one big garden.

Then you and I can live in that big garden.

We don't need to worry about palace rules.

Just you and me, forever.

What I worry about isn't that.

Look at this candle.

A wick waxing through and shining so bright.

But it will come to die in time.

Don't think about that.

Our life to come will be long.

Consort Wei, Eunuch Chang Qing asked me to deliver a letter.

Where is he?

Consort, you should follow me.

Wait.

Who are you?

Lin Lang.

Lin Lang?

Hurry and come.

Hurry.

Listen. Something happened.

What happened?

I heard Consort Wei's been kidnapped by an intruder.

Really?

Search thoroughly.

Rong Ruo, did you find something?

Your Majesty.

Lin Lang's shoe.

No matter how,

you must bring Consort Wei back to me!

Yes, Sire.

Let her go.

If you got the skill, have at it.

Who is this Wei Lin Lang to you?

I will tell you who she is. Listen.

She is the Duke of Cahar

Abunai's daughter.

This is the sister of Asihai.

Lady Liang Er.

She is my only relative in this world.

You harmed her,

so you need to die.

Are you alright?

Let's go back.

Consort Wei.

Consort Wei.

Lin Lang.

Consort Wei.

Consort Wei.

Consort Wei.

Consort Wei.

Your Majesty, there's a blood mark here.

There was a struggle here.

Liang'er, this is the best opportunity.

Don't go back anymore. Let them think you're dead.

I will find a place to settle you.

What about you?

I will go back and resolve some matters.

If I'm going, we go together. I won't let you return alone.

Liang'er.

No need to worry about me.

How can I not worry?

What happens if you don't return?

I swear I will come back.

No. We must go together.

Alright. We'll go together.

Your Majesty, there's a blood mark here too.

But I don't see the person.

Continue the search.

Consort Wei!

This place is quite remote. They won't find it.

You are tired. Go in and rest.

I'll find some food.

I will come with you.

Alright.

Brother, look.

I dug out some red potatoes.

- Let's go dig more. - Alright.

Brother, how nice it would be to live peacefully like this forever.

Consort Wei. Lin Lang.

Consort Wei, where are you?

Lin Lang. Lin Lang.

Lin Lang.

Brother.

Drink while it's hot.

Try it.

Here.

I shouldn't let you live so harshly.

If I'm with you, I don't feel it's harsh.

Consort Wei.

Where are you? Lin Lang.

Lin Lang. Lin Lang.

Your Majesty, there's a house over there.

Go in and search.

Your Majesty, we found nothing.

Your Majesty, nothing.

Your Majesty, if this person kidnapped Lin Lang, it would be to threaten Your Majesty.

He should have appeared by now.

Why are they evading Your Majesty?

I don't know who you are.

And I don't care who you are.

Listen carefully. As long as you let Lin Lang return to me unhurt

I will give you whatever you ask.

I will agree to it all.

But if you...

if Lin Lang should be hurt in anyway,

I will smash you into pieces personally!

And powder your bones!

Your Majesty.

Liang'er.

Father, Mother,

Liang'er came to see you.

Liang'er is unfilial.

It took me so long to visit you.

Liang'er has found Brother now. I will watch over him.

Live well.

From now on Brother and I

will come to visit you often.

You may rest peacefully.

Father, Mother, Elder Brother,

please rest peaceful in the heavens.

Your grudge and

Yun Chu's grudge. I will avenge them alone.

Brother, what did you say?

I'm obliged to you.

Your Majesty, there's still no news of Consort Wei's whereabouts.

Your Majesty, please return to the palace. I will continue the search.

I left the palace together with her. I will return together with her.

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, Consort Wei has returned!

Where? Outside.

Lin Lang! Lin Lang . . .

Consort Wei, you have returned.

I... where am I?

In your own palace.

My own palace?

Chu Xuo Palace. You've been unconscious for a whole day.

I fear you don't know yet.

You were kidnapped by an intruder. His Majesty went mad.

Thank goodness Eunuch Chang Qing saved you and carried you back.

Where is Eunuch Chang Qing right now?

Eunuch Chang Qing has gained merit in saving Consort Wei.

His Majesty awarded him work in the Imperial palace as an Imperial eunuch.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Lin Lang.

Why are you here? I was about to come see you. Are you better?

Much better.

If you need anything,

feel free to tell Little De or Chang Qing.

Tea for Your Majesty.

Put it down.

Greetings to Consort Wei.

Allow me.

Lin Lang, are you alright?

I feel much better, but maybe I'm still dizzy.

You didn't rest enough.

Your Majesty, then I shall take my leave first.

I'll walk you back.

Brother, why didn't you leave with me?

Why did you come back?

You're not still thinking about avenging, are you?

I am.

Me or the dog emperor, one of us must die.

Brother.

Your Majesty.

Consort Wei's been summoned to the Ci Ning Palace.

Greetings to Grand Empress Dowager.

Health to Grand Empress Dowager.

His Majesty has great taste indeed.

Come. Let me take a good look.

Yes, Ma'am.

Lin Lang, I know you.

You are Consort Ning, once named Hua Zhu?

Yes, Ma'am.

What a pretty name.

Thank you, Grand Empress Dowager.

In accompanying His Majesty for the excursion outside of the Palace,

Hua Zhu has brought a special gift for the Grand Empress Dowager.

Let us see.

Grand Empress Dowager, this is a high quality Luoyang Peony.

Place it before you and it will be both bright and luxurious.

You are thoughtful.

Grand Empress Dowager, last time Consort Wei

said not to put flowers inside the room because of your asthma.

This flower's pollen will make your illness worse.

This is true too.

Then have it taken to the Imperial garden.

To allow everyone to get some of the luxurious qi.

Yes, Ma'am.

Lin Lang,

after your work here last time, my respirations has gotten better.

Today, did you also bring a gift for me?

Grand Empress Dowager, Lin Lang prepared almond jelly for you .

It can will nourish the lungs and stabilize your breathing.

So fragrant.

So fragrant.

So very nice.

Tell Su Mu'er how to make you.

So she can learn too.

Yes, Ma'am. Actually this almond jelly isn't too difficult.

Mix almonds and sweet rice powder together.

When it chills, add curdled milk.

Set a layer of white sesame that's been soaked in wine on the bottom of the bowl.

When you eat it, you get a good chew.

Did you hear it?

I've remembered it.

We are good sisters who should help each other.

Grand Empress Dowager has asthma and sensitive to pollen.

Why didn't you tell me?

I only knew that she summoned me. I didn't know you would be there.

Tis my fault. I bid you my apology.

Don't let it bother you.

Lin Lang.

Cui Jun is married and Yun Chu's gone too.

Now, it's just you and me.

If we don't help each other,

how will we be able to survive in this palace?

It's my fault. I was in error.

Only the two of us are left.

We must get along well.

Your Majesty, they are such close sisters.

Lin Lang, don't hold my words in your heart.

I won't.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Careful, Your Majesty.

Little De. Little De.

- De gong Gong. - Send the Imperial Doctor.

Your Majesty.

Little De.

How's the situation?

Replying to Your Majesty, Gong Gong De's injuries are not light.

He's going to need rest for a few days.

You men must do your utmost to care for Little De.

Yes, Sire.

Your Majesty, I've asked thoroughly.

That facade is many years old.

With wind and rain, the rock fell on its own.

Go to construction department and ask who was in charge.

Then sentence him to 20 floggings for punishment.

Your Majesty, you were startled. Let me brew you a restorative.

No need. I'm fine. You may leave.

Yes, Sire.

Your Majesty, how is Gong Gong De's injury?

The Imperial Doctor said it's not too grave.

Don't worry. I told them to do their best to treat him.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

What is Your Majesty laughing about?

When I see you so worried about me,

I am happy.

Your Majesty,

Little De is your most capable attendant.

Now that he's injured, what will you do?

Don't I have Chang Qing too?

But I don't really feel confident about him.

If you're not confident, then you keep me company daily.

Come. Let's go.

Lin Lang, with you eating along side me,

my appetite's gotten so much better.

Your Majesty, please eat more.

Your Majesty.

His Majesty summons Consort Wei to attend him in the bed chamber.

Whose badge did His Majesty turn today?

Who else? Consort Wei of course.

Lin Lang again.

I'm like a decoration in the harem.

Consort, don't be troubled.

Consort Wei is your close friend.

Her being cherished will naturally benefit you.

That's true too.

Lin Lang, you're thirsty?

Your Majesty,

this tea is cold. Don't drink it.

Lin Lang,

you're kind of strange today.

I'm just worried about Your Majesty.

But I quite like you sticking to me all day.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

Tea for Your Majesty.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

It's only the fourth hour. Why are you up already?

You should go back and rest more.

I'll stroll around the garden with you after court.

Your Majesty, the general is already waiting outside court.

What are you waiting for? Hurry and change His Majesty's robes.

Your Majesty. Wait.

Your Majesty, let me change your clothes.

Allow me.

- Rong Ruo. - What happened?

Send for the Imperial Doctor.

His Majesty arrives.

Greetings to Your Majesty. Be at ease.

Don't move. How are you feeling?

Better?

Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm fine.

Doctor Zhong.

Your subject is present.

I don't care how, but you must heal him.

I want him to be back to the same without trouble.

Yes, Sire.

- Your Majesty. - Lin Lang.

Sir Nalan,

you must recover quickly.

You both came to see me. I'm already much better.

Your Majesty.

Thank you.

I should thank him well.

I owe him too much.

Your Majesty,

I went to inquire at the Duan Ning Pavilion. It's been hot lately,

Fang Wei was afraid your boots would get clammy,

so he placed them out in the sun and maybe that's how the poisonous worm got in.

How can he be so careless?

Relay my words. 20 floggings and send him out (of the palace).

Yes, Sire.

The Imperial Doctor says Sir Nalan was very heavily poisoned.

Even if he recovers, there will be a scar.

But since His Majesty has decreed him to be fully recovered,

he will definitely recover. Mistress, you shouldn't worry.

It's all my fault.

How can it be your fault?

Who could've known such a poisonous worm would get inside the boot?

Good thing it was Sir Nalan being careful.

He saved His Majesty.

But how is it so coincidental with the worm?

To have been in His Majesty's boot right then.

Don't you know you almost killed Rong Ruo?

He is our cousin, he's looked after me for 8 years.

You almost killed him.

He deserves death. It's his choice to die in the dog emperor's place.

In addition,

it was his father, Nalan Min Zhu, who brought the men that killed our whole household.

If he dies, it's because he deserves it.

How did you become like this?

If you had been willing to stop, Yun Chu wouldn't have--

I didn't cause Yun Chu to die. It was the dog emperor.

I think you've gone mad.

If you keep up this delusion, more people will die by your hand.

How wonderful for you. Sleeping with the enemy every day.

I think you're the one who's gone crazy.

She's here.

- Lin Lang. - Hua Zhu.

You are with His Majesty every day in Chien Qing Palace. Did you forget me?

Sorry. I haven't visited you in so long.

If it weren't for His Majesty tending to court affairs,

I wouldn't dare to come visit you.

It's my fault.

Lin Lang, so nice for you.

You are just a Da Ying level Consort.

But you are so loved by His Majesty.

No one dares to offend you.

But me...

What happened?

The other consorts in the harem all deem me without any backing.

They all bully me.

I am from a humble background and I am not cherished by His Majesty.

They all want to trample me to death.

Hua Zhu, don't be upset.

Lin Lang, can you help me?

Me?

His Majesty treasures you so much. Can't you share a little with me?

He is with you every day.

Can you share one day with me? Please?

I can help you with anything else.

But that one... I...

You what?

I understand. Forget one day,

You won't even share one hour with me, right?

Fine. His Majesty belongs to you only.

You hog him then.

<i>Hua Zhu, I'm sorry.</i>

<i>It concerns the lives of two people.</i>

<i>I really can't consent to it.</i>

Dog slave. Don't you have eyes?

Greetings to Consort Ning.

I wondered who it was. It's you.

I remember you did a lot of things to harm Lin Lang.

If His Majesty should find out,

you ought to be careful of your little brain.

Consort Ning.

No matter what, we are on the same boat.

If His Majesty finds out about me,

you can't really escape either.

Alright. Now you're threatening me?

Don't forget my status now.

I'm not the same as before.

That's right. You are a consort now,

but I serve at Imperial Palace these days also.

If Consort can help me,

I can help you as well.

Help me? How can you help me?

Then it depends on whether you want to get even.

Let's hear it.

<i>Winter and Spring have passed away </i>

<i>Summer ends with Autumn wind, pear blossoms fall by rain </i>

<i>Clear water and blue wave </i>

<i>She hums the song in whisper with languish </i>

<i>Fragrant snow goes into dream, flute draws out Spring </i>

<i>like a hundred turns and a thousand folds </i>

<i>Fate of past life </i>

<i> into this life </i>

<i>A thousand drinks watching the candle burn </i>

<i>a familiar flute song to the ear </i>

<i>Awaken by the shake of bamboo shadow upon the window, could it be a letter you asked the wind to deliver? </i>

<i>The ink under the pen filled with love and regret </i>

<i>Words are like you </i>

<i> breaking my heart </i>

<i>I miss you. My heart shattered by time </i>

<i>Galloping a thousand miles still unable to meet you </i>

<i>It is too late. I can only resent loving too late </i>

<i>I wish to go back to the first meeting </i>

<i>To look at you. Admire you in secret </i>

<i>To love you </i>

<i>I miss you </i>

<i>My heart shattered by time </i>

<i>Galloping a thousand miles still unable to meet you </i>

<i>It is too late. I can only resent loving too late </i>

<i>I wish to go back to the first meeting </i>

<i>To look at you. Admire you in secret. </i>

<i> To love you </i>
