SUBTITLES BY Babel Fansub www.facebook.com/BabelSub Subbers : Sophia, Rita Joy Of Life Episodeя 03 Which deity is this temple worshiping? It’s the same holy temple like everywhere else, you didn’t know? Holy temple? When heaven was first separated from earth, there were monsters walking among us.
Gods who were majestic and virtuous came from the holy temple, showed people literature and ethics, helped people conquered mountains and oceans, built a civilization for mankind. Haven’t your parents taught you that? Mythology. You really don’t know who I am? You are not to set foot in the main hall, whoever you are.
No ambush. Could it really be a coincidence? No statue of any deity either. Mythology. I for one, have never believed in gods. However, I have no ideal how I came to this world. If there is a real holy temple up there, please send a messenger down here, explain it to me.
If you can give me an answer, I would be happy to let you make a believer out of me. I’ll pay for your travel, think on that. My lady! My lady! Have you seen her? No. My lady, my lady! Lin Waner, daughter of the prime minister, Lin Ruofu May I ask you something?
Are you an assassin? I don’t think so. Then, are you sent here by god? I don’t think so. But I think you are. Who… who are you? Are you alright? Never mind. As long as I’ll get used to it. My lady! My lady! You’re leaving?
You came here with that mysterious big shot in the main hall? Hand. I didn’t ask about her name! My lady, where have you been? I was so worried! My lady, are you alright? I’m fine. You’re smiling. You always run around every time we’re out, it terrifies me every time.
I’m happy when we’re out. It’s better than staying at home taking medications. Like the imperial doctor said, you can’t catch a chill in your condition. My lady, you’re coughing blood again! It’s fine. As long as I’ll get used to it. Oh no, you’re not making any sense. Depart. When did you come back?
Young master, I’ve been waiting for a while now. Follow that carriage! Where are you going? That way! But… you’re going home, right? What? No! Follow that carriage! Turn around, turn! Turn around! That way! Yes. That carriage over there! Make way! Make way, make way! Make way! Clear the street! Move away! Move! Move!
Move! Move, hurry! Make way! Clear the street! Hurry! Move! Clear the street! Your majesty, we’re good to go. Take off! Your majesty, during our visit in the temple, that young man suddenly appeared. It was my oversight. Please punish me. We had an uneventful visit today, Gong Dian, deputy commander of imperial bodyguards
You’ve done your job quite well. This was an unannounced event, but there were imperial guards posted around the premises. That young man got past all those layers of security easily, I think there’s more to it. I implore your majesty to investigate imperial guards from top to bottom.
You had a run-in with him. Yes. How was it? Such internal force at his age, it was something. Your majesty, we had a big breach of security today, it calls for an investigation of the imperial guards. No need. Stop them! Let him through. Yes. Let him through! There were imperial maids
Waiting to block their way into the city. The maids have all been dealt with. Noted. An imperial guard came, then left. How strange. I couldn’t hear what they were saying. My lady? My lady? You’ve been giggling since you got back from the temple. Did something funny happen there? Nothing. It’s just, I met
Someone funny. I don’t know about other people, I hope that young master Fan is also a funny person who could make you this happy. I know it’s not what you want, but it’s his majesty’s decision. I… This… Your majesty. Emperor Qing, the emperor of Nanqing Country Who’s that young man?
He must be the illegitimate son of the assistant minister of the ministry of revenue. He used to live in Danzhou. I believe his name is Fan Xian. And? It was no accident that he suddenly appeared. I think… It’s likely your majesty arranged that. Why would I do that? I dare not to presume.
Tell me. It’s… it’s because your majesty wanted to take a look at him. Who do you think had those maids trying to tarnish his name on the pathway into the city? I do not know. You don’t know? Or you’re too afraid to say? Logically, it might be the crown prince. The crown prince?
Making this assumption is a crime of disobedience. But your majesty asked, I had to answer. Please punish my trespasses. Did Fan Xian kneel when he was in the side hall? I observed, he didn’t kneel or worship in the temple. A man doesn’t kneel before gods? It’s not good. But don’t forget
To pay them. Yes. Gong Dian. Yes, your majesty. That painting the crown prince gave you, I heard you liked it very much. I have sinned! Let’s go home. You live your life, you choose what you love, where’s the sin in that? Understood. Here we are, young master. Slowly, slowly, slowly.
I’ll return the carriage at the back gate. Please go inside, young master. Return? You don’t work in the Fan Mansion? I’m Fan Xian. I’m Fan Xian. Young master! This way, please. Use the side door? My father arranged this? Master is still at work in the ministry. Madam arranged this.
If Liu Ruyu really wants you dead, it won’t be that easy for you to walk through the door of Fan Mansion. Young master, please follow me. Why is no one talking in the courtyard? My lady is taking an afternoon nap. Where does she take her nap? Back yard.
She’s napping in the back yard, there’s no one dare to make a sound in the whole house. Is she that formidable? Young master, don’t say that. Lower your voice, be quiet! Seems like a real piece of work. Stop! Who’s this? Our accountant who handles the books. I can’t reach you, come closer!
You’re running? From me? I’m gonna… You’re an accountant, how can you run so fast? Calm your breath before you chase him gain. Fan Sizhe, the youngest son of Count Sinan Why are you holding a drumstick? This is not just a drumstick, it’s a girl. A girl? Do you understand him? No, I don’t.
What’s this? No idea. No idea? Do you know who I am? I think so. You do? Then you’ll open it for me. Wanna try it yourself? Is Fan Xian in the cortile? Not yet, my lady. What’s taking so long? Shall I go take a look? No need, let him take his time.
Liu Ruyu, Fan Xian’s step mother When he comes in the cortile, have him wait in the yard, till I wake up from my nap. Yes. Come on, come on! Come on, harder! Almost done, almost done! Pull harder! Harder! Come on, you’re close! Come on, come on, come on! You open it!
I can’t open it. Do you know where you are? This is the Fan Mansion. Everyone here respects me the most. They’ll do anything I ask of them. Now I’m asking you to open the chest. Your logic is flawed. How? You said everyone here respects you the most. Right.
And you said they’ll listen to whatever you say. Right! What if you ask them to beat you to death? If they follow that order, they’d have to hurt you which means they’re not that respectful. If they don’t follow your order, it would mean they don’t listen to you. See the contradiction here?
You can’t be both. Let’s go. He has a point. What do I do? I have to let them beat me to death. They have to follow my order. But that’s not right. Who will they listen to if I’m dead? So I can’t let them beat me to death. But if they don’t,
It would mean they don’t listen to me. That kid is my brother? Yes. Why was he chasing the accountant? My lady is napping, he must’ve taken the opportunity to ask for money. The accountant ran so fast. Being chased for years, he had a lot of practice. That kid has a temper.
We don’t discuss young master behind his back. Young master Fan Xian, we’re in the cortile. Where’s Liu Ruyu? Where’s my step mother? My lady is napping in her room. She said to wait. Wait inside? Young master, that’s inappropriate. In the yard? I’ll wait here. It’s peaceful and quiet here.
I bow in respect before your highness. I told you before, we share our passion for Li Chengqian, the crown prince of Nanqing Country calligraphy and paintings. We’re friends, no need to stand on ceremony. These are my favorites among my collections over the years. The rest of my collections at home,
I’ve burnt them all. From this day forward, I won’t be having any hobby. This famous painting from the previous dynasty was your highness’s gift to me. Please take it back. Gong Dian, what happened? His majesty said to me today, you live your life, you choose what you love. Your highness, from now on,
I will not be having anything that I love. What happened exactly? His majesty went to the Qing temple to worship. Why haven’t the ministry of rites been notified? His majesty made the trip in plain cloth. After that, his majesty met a young man at the Qing temple. His name is Fan Xian.
Then what? He’s already outside? Yes, my lady. Standing outside. Is he restless or angry? Neither. He said, he’d like to take a nap as well. I thought we didn’t let him go inside the house. Wait, why is he holding a drumstick in his hand? I don’t know.
He had it since he came in the front door. And he wasn’t eating that. Is this some Danzhou custom? Never mind. Who brought him chairs? He went to get them himself. This Danzhou brat, he’s gonna be a tough nut. I shall meet him then. Nice to meet you, Xian.
You’ve had a long trip. I took a nap earlier, didn’t welcome you sooner. It’s fine, it’s fine. If you hadn’t wakened me up, I would’ve kept on sleeping. Aunt Liu, please sit. I heard Danzhou people are honest and simple, now I’ve seen you, no wonder you turned out so fine.
What you lack in demeanor, you make up by being innocent and vivacious. Innocent and vivacious? What am I, a monkey? Aunt Liu, you’re too kind. Danzhou is a small town, I’ve never seen anyone like Aunt Liu before. You’re so gracious and so elegant, someone who doesn’t know you
Might mistake you for the mistress of the house. This little hillbilly is insinuating that I’m just a concubine. Where’s that brat with a suitcase? Oh, right, I came here in a hurry, I forgot to bring my welcoming gift for you. Wait a moment. Where is he? I see you, don’t you move!
I’m gonna go over there and teach you a lesson! I figured it out. Why would I want myself beaten to death? How should I know? Are you messing with me? What do you think? My lady, young master didn’t get the money, he’s peevish right now. Things could get physical. I’m aware.
Why else did I find an excuse to leave? If I stayed, he wouldn’t dare make a scene. What if young master does hurt Fan Xian? My son is the legitimate heir of the family, Fan Xian is just a bastard. They’re not the same. If Fan Xian gets hit on his first day home,
No one’s gonna respect him from now on. But my lady, I heard that Fan Xian practiced martial arts. What if, he hit young master instead? So be it then. Beating up the legitimate son of the family on his first day back, such vicious and unruly act, master won’t tolerate that. Don’t you think
You went a little too far? I’m standing here, why are you sitting down? Stand up! Hands! Nobody’s here. How, how did you get into the cortile? Who the hell are you? Fan Xian. Fan Xian? You are the bastard from Danzhou? Give me a break. Someone like you had the balls
To mess with me? Hands! What’s wrong with someone like me? I am your older brother. People say respect your older brother as you respect your father, I’m like your father. You’re killing me. I’ll… Stop! Ruoruo! Fan Ruoruo, daughter of Count Sinan Brother! I told you I’d come. You always will be my brother.
Always. Will you come to the capital? I will, some day. Kneel! I just ran into our accountant. You were trying to attack him. He, he ran so fast, I couldn’t keep up. At this hour, you should be studying. I can let these things slide. For real? Don’t get up. Hand it over.
Sister, you said you’d let it slide. Hand it over. Now I’m punishing you because you were rude to your brother. – He’s just a bastard… – Hands. Sis, you’re punishing me for an outsider? Fan Sizhe! The other hand. You can’t call your older brother by name. You can’t disrespect him.
I’ll beat you again if it happens again. Do you understand? Get up. He’s a big boy already, still runs to his mommy all the time. Mom! Mom! Brother, how’s your trip? Let’s go talk in my room. Who named him Fan Sizhe? Father did, why? Brilliant. Good. I was… stop drinking tea!
I was beaten! Soon as your father come home, tell him exactly what happened. What’s the point? He was the one had my sister keeping me in line. It was Ruouo? Yes, apart from her, who has the nerve to lay a hand on me? I made sure she’s not home today.
Why did she come back? How would I know? I don’t care why she came back, my hands hurt. What should we do then? I’ll be fine if you put some silver on them. How can a boy like you outsmart that weasel from Danzhou? It’ll help if I had some money. You…
This was written by Zhuang Mohan, a literary master from Northern Qi. You like his work? It’s a gift. Great master in Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian once wield this sword. A master’s sword? For real? Not sure, it’s also a gift. And those jade ware, antiques, are all gifts. Can I borrow a box?
That wooden one in the mid shelf. Who gave you all these gifts? Ladies in the capital. What for? For updates. What’s that? The letters you wrote me occasionally had some chapters of the Red Mansion story. Ladies came by saw the script by accident, they loved it. Words got out. Now, every unmarried
Young lady in the capital are hooked on your book. They sent me all kinds of gifts, to get a peek at any updates. The word ‘update’, where did you get it from? You wrote in your letter. So I started using it. They didn’t know who wrote the story, did they? Rest assured,
They didn’t know you wrote this. How many times have I told you? It really wasn’t me. The author is a Mr. Cao. Brother, no need to hide it from me. I wrote to grandma, she said, there was no Mr. Cao in Danzhou. I know, you were worried that you’d draw too much attention,
Which could made people jealous. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. I’m not telling anyone that you’re the greatest literary master in the world. I’d better drink my tea. This is what happened today. His majesty didn’t talk to Fan Xian? No. And he had all those maids killed. Precisely.
Then you came to my chamber tearing up your paintings. From now on, your highness and I don’t have a personal relationship anymore. There are a few words from the bottom of my heart, I have to tell your highness. Please forgive my presumption. Do tell. Your highness is the master of the east palace,
Making friends with ministers of the court is perfectly normal. But I am in charge of his majesty’s security. If I fraternize with your highness, will his majesty feel safe? Go on. Fan Xian is just a civilian with no status. His majesty’s discreet visit to the temple was never about him. His majesty
Said something to me today. We had an uneventful visit today, you’ve done your job quite well. I didn’t quite understand at the time, when I came to realize it, I was terrified. His majesty knew that I was close to your highness. Yet his majesty still had me made all the
Security arrangement this time. This was never about meeting Fan Xian. It was to see if I would make a move on Fan Xian. As an imperial bodyguard, my loyalty is with his majesty alone. My responsibilities dictates that I can’t fraternize with any courtier. As a loyal servant to his majesty,
I should be more discreet and more dedicated. Thanks for your honesty, it wasn’t easy. A lesser man would’ve never had the courage to tell me. I have sinned. The plot against Fan Xian today was not my design. Never mind. This painting, I’ll take it back. From now on,
You do your job, I do mine. We won’t meet in private again. Thanks for your highness’s understanding. I’ll let myself out. It has the exact date of your arrival on it. Who gave you this note? I don’t know. It was left on my desk last night. That’s why I rushed back home today.
I was worried Fan Sizhe would give you a hard time. He’s really afraid of you. He’s very mischievous. Father had me keeping him in line. Since he was a child, he has been genuinely terrified of me. His mother did nothing about that? Ms. Liu dares not to upset me. That was so badass.
Did you get the details? Why did Fan Ruoruo come back? We have counted the days to make sure she was otherwise engaged on the same day. I asked. They said lady Ruoruo ditched them not long after she went out, then came back home herself. It appeared that she knew
The exact time Fan Xian arrived. Who told her that? I checked, no one did. How did she know then? Mom, when can I be excused? This Fan Ruoruo is a real handful, looks like Fan Xian is quite cunning as well. Can’t you pay more attention to that? What’s to pay attention to?
He’s only a bastard who came from Danzhou. Just beat his ass if he’s not behaving himself. We won’t get a chance at home, how about I take him out to lunch tomorrow? Then I’ll have people rough him up in the street. What do you think? It might work,
Using brutal force against his artfulness. Mom, since I’m taking him out to lunch, I’ll need some financial support. Support me? This Fan Ruoruo… When I was a child, she made her moves trying to get me in line. Luckily you told me in your letters how to deal with her. All these years,
She knew I wasn’t stupid, so she stopped picking on me. It’s just I still can’t figure out who’s secretly helping me. I think it’s uncle Wu Zhu, he came to the capital before I did. Who’s uncle Wu Zhu? The one who taught me how to climb a cliff.
His name was not supposed to mentioned to people, so I didn’t tell you in the letters. Why did you mention his name to me then? You’re my sister, not other people. This uncle Wu Zhu, is he trustworthy? About him, it’s a long story. My lady, master has returned.
He wants young master Fan Xian to see him in the study. Can you hold onto it for me? I was gonna ask you earlier, what’s with the drumstick? I’ll tell you everything later. He asked for Fan Xian right after he got back? Yes, my lady. What’s the big deal?
Go keep an eye for me. Yes. Your father’s attitude towards Fan Xian is crucial. Mom, what attitude are we talking about? He left him in Danzhou for years. Has he ever visited him once? That’s what I find most curious. Your father is not a heartless man. I wouldn’t feel strange
If he had occasionally visited Fan Xian in Danzhou. But he just left the kid there, acted like he didn’t exist. It doesn’t make any sense. That’s why I had someone staying in Danzhou, I wanted to see if he had any secret correspondence with Fan Xian. I’ve always found this very strange.
I won’t be able to protect you forever. You’re gonna have to fend for yourself someday. Your future, I… My treasure? How much? No treasure! No money, no defeating him. No defeating him! Master said, no need to report, just enter the study directly.
