Short filmTranscript
00:00My mother and I lived in a remote village for 8 years.
00:03During those 8 years, my father never came once.
00:06Only two maidservants took care of us, but in fact, they were just guarding us.
00:10Not allowing us to run around freely or have contact with outsiders.
00:14The village was so remote that the job of guarding us was a hard one.
00:17The two maidservants were resentful and always took it out on my mother and me.
00:21They called my mother a whore and said that she should have killed herself after losing her virtue.
00:25They called me a bastard, claiming that I was the result of my mother's affair with another man.
00:30My mother would defend me and argue with them, but every time she was beaten until she was covered in
00:35bruises.
00:35Once, when my mother was beaten again, I sneaked under their bed at night,
00:39planning to pretend to be a ghost to scare them.
00:41But I overheard them chatting at night and learned that
00:44all the insults and beatings were ordered by the second wife of the manor.
00:47The purpose was to make my mother and me unable to bear the suffering and commit suicide.
00:52It wasn't that the second wife was afraid to kill us,
00:54but that she and my father were concerned about their reputation.
00:57If we were found dead and any clues were discovered,
01:00it would be a handle for others to use against them.
01:03My father's career was at its peak and he couldn't afford to take such a risk.
01:07So they could only slowly torture us like cutting with a blunt knife,
01:10and our suicide would be the best outcome for them.
01:13Of course, even if it was discovered that our suicide was caused by the torture of the servants,
01:17my father and the second wife could still claim that they lived far away and couldn't control their servants,
01:22thus washing their hands of the matter completely.
01:26I told my mother about this matter, but she didn't make a fuss.
01:29Instead, she began to secretly teach me to read and write, as well as some rules I didn't understand.
01:34I was not willing to accept this and wanted to ask my father for confirmation,
01:39but my mother sternly stopped me.
01:41Defiant, I tried to sneak away,
01:42and finally managed to get on the carriage when the manor was sending supplies to the village and followed it
01:47back to the manor.
01:47It was my first time seeing the Parker Manor.
01:50It was magnificent with carved beams and painted pillars.
01:53I was wearing tattered clothes, and was treated as a beggar and kicked out.
01:57Right at the entrance of the manor,
01:59I saw my father coming back in a sedan chair with a delicate and pretty little girl.
02:03I went up to call my father, but was kicked down by his guards.
02:06My father looked at me with disdain and ordered someone to send me back to the village.
02:10His tone was cold and he looked at me as if I were a disgrace.
02:14I heard the girl ask my father who I was.
02:16My father gently told her,
02:18Just a beggar.
02:19Beggars are dirty.
02:21Emily doesn't look at them, or she'll dirty her eyes.
02:24Later, I learned that the girl was the daughter of the second wife, named Parker Emily.
02:28At only 7 years old, she was already renowned for her talent and was my father's pride.
02:33At the age of 8, I still naively believed that as long as I studied hard,
02:37I could be as favored by my father as Parker Emily.
02:40So I studied hard with my mother.
02:42As I grew older and more beautiful year by year,
02:45my mother's brows became more and more furrowed.
02:47She didn't allow me to dress up.
02:49To prevent the two nannies who guarded us from noticing my appearance,
02:52she even made me deliberately look ugly.
02:54On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony,
02:57my mother said something to the nannies in charge of us,
02:59and they actually took her back to the manor.
03:01But it was only half a day before my mother returned.
03:04She came back very sad.
03:06I didn't know what had happened to her in the manor.
03:08My mother didn't tell me anything,
03:10but just kept teaching me the four arts of music,
03:12chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as needlework.
03:17Not long after, my mother committed suicide without any warning.
03:21She left a suicide note filled with her own remorse,
03:23saying that she had defiled herself and didn't deserve to live.
03:26I didn't believe what was written in my mother's note,
03:29nor did I believe she had committed suicide.
03:31I fought with the two nuns who were guarding us,
03:34thinking they had forced her to do it,
03:35but they knocked me unconscious.
03:37When I woke up again,
03:38I rushed out of the estate and went to the county magistrate's office
03:41to ask for an autopsy.
03:43The result was that my mother had indeed committed suicide.
03:46The nuns guarding us told me,
03:48stop causing trouble.
03:49Your slut of a mother committed suicide.
03:51She made a deal with the grand tutor and the second lady.
03:54Her suicide saved the face of the Parker family.
03:57In exchange, you'll be given a good family to marry into.
04:01The second lady is kind-hearted
04:03and has already found a good match for you.
04:05He's a lame widower who slaughters pigs.
04:07It's your good fortune to be able to marry him.
04:10Get ready, he'll come to take you in a few days.
04:13The nun smiled smugly,
04:14seemingly happy that they wouldn't have to continue guarding me and my mother.
04:17This time, I didn't make a fuss or cause a scene.
04:21The two nuns thought I had resigned myself to my fate.
04:24But little did they know that in the middle of the night,
04:26after they fell asleep,
04:27I carried my mother's body and ran away.
04:30When I reached the capital,
04:32the brown was already high in the sky.
04:34I carried my mother's body to the Parker residence,
04:36determined to seek justice for her from Parker Michael.
04:39When I arrived at the gate of the Parker residence,
04:41I saw a long wedding procession coming out,
04:44a true ten miles of red,
04:45extremely grand.
04:46I heard the people around me talking.
04:48It turned out that my dear sister,
04:50Parker Emily,
04:51was going to the palace today to accompany the emperor
04:53and become the new emperor's concubine.
04:55I saw my father standing at the gate to see her off.
04:58His face full of joy.
05:00Those officials were saying all kinds of flattering words to him.
05:03I saw a look of pride on his face.
05:05It was obvious that my mother's death had no effect on him at all,
05:08it was even a cause for celebration.
05:10I stood in the crowd,
05:12carrying my mother's body,
05:13and just watched quietly.
05:14The silver coins and candies thrown by the servants and maids hit me,
05:18but I felt no pain at all.
05:19I clenched my hands tightly,
05:21my nails digging into my palms.
05:23I silently swore that I would avenge my mother.
05:26I would make Parker Michael and everyone in the Parker residence pay for her death.
05:33The Treasures Building is the largest auction house in our dynasty.
05:37Here, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the world.
05:40There is nothing that the Treasures Building cannot obtain,
05:42and there is nothing that the Treasures Building dares not auction.
05:46No one knows who is behind the Treasures Building,
05:48but neither the sons of nobles nor the descendants of noble families dare to be unruly here.
05:52At this moment,
05:53I am standing on the top floor of the Treasures Building,
05:56looking at the manager brown in front of me.
05:59Miss, what do you want to buy?
06:00I'm not buying anything.
06:02I'm selling something.
06:05What are you selling, Miss?
06:07A thing worth 500,000 tiles.
06:10Can you make the decision?
06:13Although I'm just the manager,
06:14I can make the decision for Fiverland Tile.
06:17Please tell me what you want.
06:21I'm selling myself.
06:24Miss, no.
06:26Please don't erase.
06:27I'm the eldest daughter of the current Prime Minister and the elder sister of the Imperial Convent.
06:32I'm worth 500,000 tangs.
06:34Now I want to sell myself to bury my mother.
06:37This news will make the Treasures Bilk of the entire capital and your reputations even higher.
06:42This deal won't be a loss for you.
06:44The Treasures Building claims that there is nothing you dare not auction.
06:48Now,
06:49do you dare to take on this deal?
06:52Miss, please wait a moment.
06:54He left, obviously to consult the owner behind the Treasures Building.
06:58After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea,
07:00Brown returned and said,
07:03Miss, we'll take your deal.
07:05The auction will start in three days.
07:07Before the action, I hope the Treasures Hill can for me do three young things.
07:10Please tell me, Hajiad.
07:11The first thing's probably the new is that I'm selling myself to bury my Mutsun.
07:15And the new is that I'm Cheikh of Alsternur and the Dave Aeimbe known who are throughout the Sud,
07:19even in the Imperial Hallis.
07:22The second thing is to protect me for three days.
07:26During these three days, no matter who puts pressure on the Treasures Bill,
07:29you must not cancel this auction or hand me over.
07:31I said to Brown,
07:33Miss, you're going to have a life and death struggle with the Prime Minister.
07:37But the Treasures Building agrees.
07:39I smiled.
07:41Of course.
07:42Although Parker Michael is the top minister and has countless people fawning over him,
07:46there are still people who want to see him lose face.
07:48On the day of the auction,
07:50I want to make Parker Michael the laughingstock of the entire capital.
07:53But what I want is not just to make Parker Michael lose face.
07:56I want to seek justice for my mother.
08:02Sure enough,
08:03the news that I was going to sell myself to bury my mother spread throughout the capital in less than
08:07half a
08:07day and caused a huge stir.
08:08Along with this news,
08:10the story of how my mother was raped by bandits 17 years ago while trying to save Parker Michael also
08:14came to life.
08:15Although it had been 17 years and not many people remembered,
08:19I did.
08:19My mother died because of this.
08:21While Parker Michael, the beneficiary, lived a carefree life.
08:25This was too unfair,
08:26so I had someone spread this story.
08:28Some people said that Parker Michael mistreated my mother and me,
08:31and even after our deaths,
08:33we had no money for a proper burial,
08:35which was why I was selling myself to bury my mother.
08:37Others said that Parker Michael was ungrateful and had betrayed his original wife.
08:41There were also those who said that the position of the imperial concubine should have been mine,
08:45because the new emperor was originally going to marry the daughter of the prime minister,
08:49and I was the legitimate daughter,
08:50while Parker Emily was born to the second wife and was technically a concubine's daughter.
08:54It was only a short while before an enraged Parker Michael,
08:57accompanied by several fierce-looking servants armed with sticks,
09:00came to the treasure's building to take me away.
09:03They said they were taking me away,
09:04but their attitude clearly indicated that they were prepared to kill me on the spot.
09:08Fortunately, I had already hidden in a safe place.
09:12Parker Michael searched the treasure's building thoroughly but failed to find me,
09:15and could only leave in frustration.
09:17Manager Brown told me that Parker Michael had left spies around the treasure's building,
09:21asking me not to show up.
09:22Besides, the palace had also sent people to keep an eye on the treasure's building,
09:26and many of Parker Michael's political rivals had also stationed people there.
09:30I wasn't surprised at all, as I had expected.
09:33So I was prepared to stay hidden for three days.
09:36Manager Brown also informed me that Parker Emily had entered the palace
09:39to accompany the emperor for the first time yesterday,
09:41but because of my incident, the emperor didn't even visit her quarters.
09:46I smiled slightly upon hearing this.
09:48This was just the beginning,
09:49the retribution for the Parker family was only just starting.
09:53Three days passed quickly.
09:55On the third day,
09:56the auction hall of the treasure's building was packed,
09:58and it was at this time that I made my appearance.
10:03I sat on the high platform, surrounded by customers who had come for the auction.
10:07I was being scrutinized like a commodity, but I remained calm and composed, not caring at all.
10:12I looked around and saw Parker Michael sitting in the middle,
10:15his face full of anger and his eyes burning with rage.
10:18If this weren't the treasure's building,
10:20perhaps he would have already ordered someone to come and kill me.
10:22I glanced at him and moved on without a second glance.
10:25My gaze finally rested on a private box on the second floor.
10:29The shopkeeper, Brown, had told me that the person in that box was from the palace,
10:33but he didn't know exactly who it was.
10:36Today's auction isn't a public bidding.
10:38Instead, the starting price is 200,000 thailands.
10:41Each person would write down their price on a piece of paper,
10:44and this lady would be the one to check them all.
10:47The highest bidder would win.
10:49I saw a determined look flash in Parker Michael's eyes.
10:52At that moment, he stood up and said,
10:54I am the father of this scoundrel.
10:56He has done such a disgraceful thing today.
10:58It's my fault for not teaching him well.
11:01I will bid 200,000 thails today.
11:03I hope everyone will show me respect.
11:05After saying that,
11:07Parker Michael looked around as if trying to remember everyone's faces.
11:10I smiled.
11:11What he said was a threat.
11:13It seemed that not many people would dare to bid now.
11:16Fortunately, it was a secret auction.
11:18Maybe someone would really dare to bid higher than Parker Michael.
11:22Half an hour later, Brown handed me all the bidding slips.
11:25I opened them one by one and made notes.
11:28Daniel Wilson, the Vice Minister of Personnel, bid 1,000 thails.
11:33David Johnson, the Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, bid 8,000 thails.
11:37William Thomas, the Chancellor of the Imperial College, bid 10,000 thails.
11:42These people all showed respect to Parker Michael, the Grand Tudor, and didn't dare to bid too high.
11:48However, they still offered a decent price, not degrading the daughter of the Grand Tudor.
11:52They really managed to please both sides.
11:54I opened the last slip.
11:56It read, Parker Michael, 200,000 thails.
11:59The highest bid in the entire auction.
12:03Master Brown looked at the price above and whispered in my ear.
12:06Treasure's building only cares about the price.
12:08You can only hope for the best.
12:10I understood Master Brown's meaning.
12:13He thought that if I was bought by Parker Michael, it would surely be a bad outcome for me.
12:17But Treasure's building only recognized the price and wouldn't care about anything else.
12:21This was their code of conduct and they wouldn't break it for me.
12:25This time the highest bidder is Minister Parker Michael, who offered 500,000 thailings.
12:31Parker Michael's face turned stiff and he was about to stand up to refute me.
12:35The second highest bid was 490,000 thails, just 1,000 thails short.
12:41Parker Michael opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
12:44I knew he might suspect that I was lying, but he didn't dare to bet because he was determined to
12:49get me.
12:49If I was bought by someone else today, Parker Michael, the Grand Tudor, would lose all face, and I would
12:55be out of his control.
12:56That might cause endless trouble for him in the future.
12:58So now he could only suffer this silent loss.
13:01Parker Michael's face turned ashen.
13:03He took out 500,000 thails of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to the people from Treasure's
13:08building.
13:09Then he was about to come forward and pull me away.
13:11I shook off his hand and took the 400,000 thails of silver from Master Brown.
13:15Treasure's building took 20% of the auction price, so I only got 400,000 thails.
13:20You wretched girl.
13:22Come with me to the mansion.
13:23I'll deal with you when we get there.
13:26You can't take this 400,000 thails either.
13:29Minister Parker, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
13:33Then, without waiting for his reaction, I said to the private room on the second floor,
13:37This common, Grace Clark is willing to don't send right how into the bending shandles
13:41and offer priceless barbell king give ovens to patrons.
13:45I only hope to be allowed to serve in the palace.
13:48Clark was my mother's surname.
13:50I hated the surname Parker.
13:54As soon as I said this, Parker Michael's face Mikael is dramatically.
13:58He glared at me and shouted towards the private room on the second floor.
14:02This brat is just joking!
14:05The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the border was unstable.
14:09There had been several conflicts, and the emperor intended to launch a war to intimidate
14:13the barbarians and establish his authority.
14:16However, the civil officials led by Parker Michael were opposed to the military taking
14:20too much power, and the treasury was empty, so the matter had been delayed.
14:24At this moment, I was willing to donate 400,000 thails of silver as provisions to support
14:30the emperor.
14:31This was like a shot in the arm, and I believed that the emperor would be moved.
14:35Immediately after, a small eunuch hurriedly came downstairs to me.
14:39I took out something from my sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, who rushed upstairs with it.
14:44By the grace of heaven, the emperor decrees that Grace Clark is to be enorbled as
14:50Concon's clerk, and enter the palace today.
14:53I took the imperial edict and felt relieved.
14:56Parker Michael's face turned ashen.
14:57You bitch!
14:58You're just as disgusting as your bitch of a mother!
15:01You should have died long ago!
15:02I should have strangled you at birth!
15:04Do you really think that once I'm in the palace, you can't kill me?
15:08I didn't care about Parker Michael's curses at all.
15:11Instead, I found it rather amusing.
15:16Riding in a sedan chair to the palace, I was in a good mood.
15:19I had won today's confrontation, but it was just a stroke of luck.
15:23Parker Michael was unprepared, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation.
15:28The so-called treasure I had was the list of all the officials who had bid at the auction
15:31today, along with the amount of silver they had spent.
15:34The imperial treasury was empty, yet these officials had been trying to work to the emperor.
15:39Now, they were spending so freely at the auction.
15:42If they could spend so much money on a woman, they should also be willing to contribute that
15:46much to support the war on the border.
15:48With this list, the emperor could force those officials to donate money to support the war.
15:52Although it was just a list, it was indeed a treasure that could solve the emperor's
15:56immediate problem.
15:57I moved into the blessing palace.
16:00The first thing I did after entering the palace was to donate all the dowry that Parker
16:03Michael had given me to the imperial treasury.
16:06I found Parker Michael's things dirty and only kept my mother's dowry carefully.
16:10My action made the emperor very happy, and he immediately praised me for my righteousness
16:14and bestowed me with many treasures.
16:16Half a day after entering the palace, the head of the imperial household department came
16:21to my courtyard with several maids and eunuchs.
16:23Conscient clerk, these servants have all been well trained by the imperial household department.
16:28Please take a look and see if there is anyone you like.
16:32I glanced at the row of maids and eunuchs, and then looked at the head of the imperial
16:36household department.
16:37You pick a few for me.
16:38I have only one requirement.
16:40The servants you pick can be the emperor and imperial consents spies, but they must not
16:44be spies for Parker imperial consents and Parker Michael.
16:47If I find out, I will kill you even if it costs me my life.
16:50Think it over carefully.
16:52Is the silver Parker Michael gave you more important than your life?
16:56Don't take my words lightly.
16:57I swear to heaven that I will never stop until I succeed.
17:00My words made the head of the imperial household department's face change.
17:04Contrabein Clark is joking.
17:05How could I dare?
17:08I continued drinking my tea and ignored him.
17:11The head of the imperial household department's face changed for a long time.
17:15Then he picked a few eunuchs and maids and led the others to leave with a bow.
17:20After entering the palace, I needed to pay my respects to the empress.
17:24When I arrived at the empress's phoenix palace, there were already quite a few people inside.
17:29The empress was sitting in the middle, and I went forward to pay my respects.
17:33My movements were extremely standard, as if I had practiced them thousands of times.
17:37The concubines who were waiting to see me make a fool of myself were all somewhat surprised
17:41because they all knew that I had been raised in a dilapidated manner and had never been disciplined
17:45since childhood, and thus must be coarse and unfit for the palace.
17:48But they never expected me to be so dignified and refined.
17:53Conceivine Clark, please rise.
17:55Take a seat.
17:57I stood up and walked to the side to sit down.
18:00My gaze fell on a woman opposite me.
18:02I knew she was Parker Emily, the current emperor's concubine of high rank,
18:06and the daughter of Parker Michael whom he was so proud of.
18:08Today is Conceivine Clark's first day in the palace.
18:11From now on, we are all sisters.
18:15We must get along harmonially.
18:17Parker Emily looked at me, her eyes full of resentment.
18:20Sister, you have quite the talent.
18:22Your mother just passed her three days ago, and you can't wait to enter the palace.
18:27Selling yourself to bury your mother and pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy,
18:30what a good trick.
18:31I wonder if your mother can rest in peace knowing your behavior.
18:35I glanced at the empress.
18:37She had just said that we should get along harmoniously,
18:39but Parker Emily immediately started to mock me.
18:42It seemed that she was not giving the empress any face and was also trying to give me a warning.
18:46Parker Emily's eagerness to mock me must be because of what I did before.
18:50I first donated 400,000 tales to the national treasury,
18:54and then sent the 100,000 tales of dowry given by Parker Michael to the national treasury as well.
18:59Everyone praised me for my loyalty and righteousness.
19:02But Parker Emily was put in a difficult position because as the daughter of Parker Michael,
19:06she had to decide whether to donate her dowry or not.
19:09If she didn't, it would make her look selfish.
19:12If she did, she would be reluctant to part with it.
19:15This was exactly the result I wanted.
19:17I wanted everyone in the Parker family to be restless.
19:20The other concubines all stared at me with a look of schadenfreude.
19:23I smiled.
19:24I was not a pushover.
19:28Sister, remember that my mother passed away just three days ago.
19:31When my mother, your stepmother, passed away, you, a Conkin's daughter, could get married.
19:36Why can't I, a legitimate daughter, do the same?
19:40I don't know my much in band scenes, but I'm sure your mother, the Conchit Shriek and Paul of May.
19:47Now everyone knows that the so-called second wife is just a self-deceiving calm.
19:52You will be a cup's daughter for the rest of your life.
19:55How pitiful.
19:56My words made Parker Emily's face turn ashen.
19:59Because of the previous rumors, she, a concubine's daughter,
20:02had replaced the legitimate daughter to become a concubine of high rank.
20:05The emperor hadn't visited her chambers in the past three days, making her a laughingstock.
20:10She was about to retort when the empress interrupted directly.
20:13Enough! Concervine Clark, stay.
20:16The rest of you, leave.
20:27Parker Emily was unwilling but had no choice but to leave with the other concubines.
20:31After they had all left, the empress turned to me and said,
20:35Concey Clark, the emperor and I know about your feud, the Grand Hunter Parker.
20:39You have helped the emperor this time, and I will remember your goodness.
20:44Although I am also wary of the Grand Hunter Parker in the palace and protect you.
20:47In the half day since I entered the palace,
20:49the emperor had already gone to the homes of various officials with the list I gave him, forcing them to
20:53donate.
20:54He had solid evidence and, for the sake of the country,
20:57those people could no longer pretend they had no money.
20:59I looked at the empress, pondering her words.
21:03Empress, I appreciate your kindness.
21:06But I will never stop fighting with the entire Parker family until we are both dead.
21:12The empress sighed.
21:14Why go through all this trouble?
21:15You have no power or influence, how can you fight?
21:18I remained silent.
21:20In the end, the empress could only let me leave.
21:25On my first night in the palace, it was customary for me to sleep with the emperor.
21:29That was the unspoken rule in the palace.
21:32At the hour of you, the emperor came to my blessing palace.
21:35I went forward and bowed.
21:37Your majesty, may you be well.
21:39Rise.
21:40And then walked to the table and sat down.
21:42I recognized this voice as the one I had heard in the private room earlier today.
21:46At this moment, the small eunuch by the emperor's side led everyone out.
21:50I knew the emperor had something to say.
21:53Consummate Clark, today, Grand Tutor Parker came to see me and asked me to send you to the cold palace.
21:59Nana, what did your majesty say?
22:02I have just dumped the throats, and Chalting lets me list it even.
22:06Ming were in the labage on Chalf Parker.
22:09Chalf Parker's supports were Chalting with Dim Thinweli.
22:13After the emperor finished speaking, he looked troubled and took a sip of tea.
22:17Your majesty really sounded dying, but I'd just bumply wash one down the inns away, Pigs.
22:23The soldiers on the border will remember this favor.
22:26If your majesty punish me, not in knotting the Sherbing be dishearted, and the Servie be dishearted.
22:31I have always been loyal to your majesty.
22:35Concubine Clark, you are very smart.
22:37You have been calculating since the auction.
22:39You are so smart, I'm so smart.
22:41Can you guess if I agreed?
22:44Your majesty will not agree.
22:46Why?
22:47The reasons you just gave are not enough for me to reject Grand Tudor Parker's offer.
22:52Because I can just send you to the cold palace six months later when everything has calmed down and find
22:56any excuse I want.
23:00Because the emperor is the emperor, the son of Tevin.
23:02The emperor is not controlled by anyone.
23:05Parker Michael helped you once, but what about the second time, the third time?
23:10So the emperor will not agree.
23:12Ben looked at the emperor.
23:13The emperor didn't speak, his cold eyes staring at me.
23:16After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
23:21Concubine Clark, if you were a man I would surely appoint you as the prime minister.
23:25I could tell that the emperor had a moment of murderous intent just now.
23:29Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.
23:31The emperor doesn't allow smart people in the harem.
23:34Your majesty, would you like to make a deal with me?
23:38Tell me what you have in mind.
23:41I'll help you bring down Parker Michael.
23:44After Parker Michael falls, I hope your majesty will allow me to leave the palace and go to the Baisuan
23:50temple to practice Buddhism.
23:51I finished speaking and looked at the emperor.
23:54I agree with you.
23:55But do you know, the influence Parker Michael has in the court?
24:00How dare you speak so boldly?
24:02I nodded.
24:03Parker Michael is the grand tutor, and all six ministries are under his control.
24:08It's like a solid iron bucket, and even the emperor can't pry it open for the time being.
24:16Then I'll wait and see.
24:17After sitting in my palace for over an hour, the emperor finally left.
24:22Clearly, the emperor had saved my face.
24:24Everyone else would think that I had slept with him tonight.
24:30On the third day after entering the palace, the emperor would come to my quarters and stay for over an
24:34hour every day.
24:36Most of the time, we played chess.
24:38But in the eyes of others, I was extremely favored and slept with the emperor every night.
24:42I heard that the porcelain in the bamboo garden had been replaced several times.
24:46The bamboo garden was where Parker Emily lived.
24:48I could tell that the emperor was doing this on purpose, just to provoke Parker Emily and her father, Parker
24:54Michael.
24:54Sure enough, on the fourth day, news came from the Parker family that Parker Michael had divorced my mother on
24:59the grounds that she was unchaste.
25:01My mother and I had no connection with the Parker family from then on.
25:04And my mother was not allowed to be buried in the Parker family's ancestral tomb.
25:08I sneered.
25:09Who cared about the Parker family's ancestral tomb?
25:12My mother would have thought it dirty to be buried there.
25:14But Parker Michael had made his move.
25:17So I had to respond.
25:18That afternoon, I asked the emperor to issue an order for Parker Michael and his second wife to come to
25:23the palace.
25:23The emperor was reluctant at first, but when I told him that this could help him break up the alliance
25:28of the civil officials, he reluctantly agreed.
25:32I waited in the blessing palace for an hour.
25:34Then a young eunuch led Parker Michael and his second wife in.
25:38Parker Michael was the second most powerful person in the court, and the eunuchs and maidservants all bowed to him.
25:43Parker Michael clearly enjoyed this feeling and was smug all the way.
25:46When Parker Michael saw me, there was still anger in his eyes.
25:49Did you ask me to come to the palace so that your mother could be buried in the Parker family's
25:52ancestral tomb?
25:54I gave Parker Michael a cold look and then glanced at the second wife beside him.
25:57She was indeed beautiful, and Parker Emily inherited her looks.
26:02Minister Parker, you have such great authority.
26:05You don't even bow to the emperor's concund.
26:08Are you defying the imperial family?
26:10I sneered.
26:13Parker Michael's face froze for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and bowed.
26:17The second madam's expression was also very ugly as she began to bow.
26:21I took an object out of my sleeve and placed it on the table beside me.
26:24Parker Michael and the second madam were bowing right in front of that object.
26:29When Parker Michael stood up and saw the object,
26:31Grace Clark you are really too bold.
26:33The second madam's expression was also extremely ugly after seeing that thing.
26:38I, however, smiled and stroked the object beside me.
26:41It was my mother's memorial tablet, made rather small so that I could carry it into the palace.
26:46Parker Michael and the second madam's bowing just now was equivalent to bowing to my mother,
26:50which was why they were so angry.
26:52I just like to talk to my mother.
26:54How is that being bold?
26:56Mr. Parker, please explain.
26:59Parker Michael was so angry that he couldn't speak.
27:01You made my lord bow to this slut!
27:04Does she deserve it?
27:06I sneered.
27:07Does a concubine like you have the right to question my mother's affairs?
27:10Garves!
27:11This concubine has been disrespectful to me.
27:13Slap her 30 size!
27:15The second madam looked at me with a smug expression.
27:17I stood up and slapped the second madam.
27:20I dare!
27:22You!
27:23Grand Dutor Parker, have you thought it through?
27:26This slap is equivalent to slapping the face of the imperial family.
27:30Your reputation will be ruined in an instant.
27:33Parker Michael had spent his entire life protecting his reputation.
27:36How could he break his own rules for a second madam?
27:40Parker Michael was shaking with rage, but in the end, he didn't hit me.
27:43Instead, I slapped the second madam again.
27:46I was strong.
27:47While the second madam was used to a life of luxury,
27:50she was knocked to the ground by my two slaps and was completely stunned.
27:53Grace Clark, I have many ways to make your life a living hell.
27:57I didn't do anything to you yesterday because of that little bit of father-daughter affection,
28:01but today, you have humiliated me like this!
28:06I won't let you off the hook.
28:08Mr. Parker, when you forced my mother to death, we were already sworn enemies.
28:16Not even half an hour after Parker Michael left with the second concubine,
28:19a stack of memorials impeaching me was delivered to the imperial study.
28:23In the evening, the empress came to my courtyard and said,
28:26Let's go for a walk at the Watercloud Nunnery.
28:29Take your mother's miry on tape with you.
28:31The Watercloud Nunnery was a Buddhist temple in a secluded part of the palace,
28:34a place where some of the concubines would go to pray.
28:37I followed the empress to the Watercloud Nunnery with my mother's memorial tablet.
28:41The empress lit the incense first and then said to me,
28:44Let's enshone your mother's memorial tobit in the Watercloud Nunnery.
28:48There are palace rules that permit setting up private memorial toads in the palace.
28:51I nodded.
28:53The empress had already been very kind to me.
28:56Concert Clark, this time you've caused too much trouble.
29:00The emperor has to punish you.
29:02I nodded again.
29:03I had already prepared myself.
29:05Today was the seventh day after my mother's death,
29:08and I did this to vent my anger for her.
29:10Seeing my reaction, the empress sighed and said,
29:13Fortunately, you've foredone some good deeds, and I've pleaded with the emperor.
29:17So this time, it will be a minor schmidt as a warning.
29:19You'll be punished by copying Buddha scriptials.
29:22Concorbite Clark, I can see from the memorial tablet you're carrying that you and your mother have a deep bond.
29:28Your mother's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to take such risks.
29:31Empress, there's no need to persuade me.
29:34It's a fight to death.
29:35The empress sighed again and pointed to the garden outside.
29:38Look at those little maidservants.
29:40I followed her finger and saw a group of little maidservants weeding the flowers in the garden.
29:45Perhaps because the Watercloud Nunnery was in the innermost part of the palace and few concubines came here,
29:50the maidservants were bold and played while working.
29:52Their laughter could be heard.
29:54This palace is full of darkness and treacherity, but there is also hope and peace.
29:59If you wait for a year when everyone has forgotten about you,
30:02I can ask the emperor to let you leave the palace and find a place to live in peace.
30:06I looked at the empress and asked the question in my heart.
30:08Why are you doing this?
30:10On my first day in the palace, I felt that the empress treated me differently.
30:14Now she was even saying she would ask the emperor to let me leave the palace.
30:18This wasn't something an empress should say.
30:20The empress smiled and said,
30:22You might not believe me, but I see in you the kind of rebellious spirit I've always wanted,
30:26the kind of determination to resist everything.
30:28I've had to be the empress for my family and the emperor all my life.
30:32But you're different.
30:33You have more possibilities.
30:37All the way back, I was lost in thought about the empress's words.
30:40When I returned to the blessing palace, I saw Parker Emily leading people to guard my courtyard.
30:45As soon as Parker Emily saw me, she wanted to come and fight with me,
30:50but was held back by the maidservant beside her.
31:03Everyone's persuasion made Parker Emily calm down as well.
31:06I looked at Parker Emily and said,
31:07Do you also want to taste the flavor of a slap?
31:10Don't you just rely on the emperor's favor?
31:13I tell you, I will definitely take away your favor.
31:16Just wait and see.
31:17After saying that,
31:19Parker Emily left with her maids and eunuchs in a fierce manner.
31:22Later, it was heard that Parker Emily voluntarily went to the imperial study to serve soup.
31:26This was impossible in the past.
31:28Parker Emily always thought of herself as the daughter of the prime minister,
31:32with a noble status, and looked down upon other concubines in the palace,
31:35thinking that their serving of tonics and soup to the emperor was just flattery.
31:39She never expected that she would now lower herself to do such a thing.
31:43But she didn't expect that the emperor still came to my courtyard that night.
31:49Miss, what do you want to buy?
31:52I'm not buying anything, I'm selling something.
31:56What are you selling, miss?
31:59I'm selling myself.
32:00Sixteen years ago, when my mother was pregnant with me,
32:03she went back to our hometown with my father to pay homage to our ancestors.
32:07However, they encountered bandits on the way.
32:10My mother, in order to save my father, led the bandits away by herself.
32:13My father was rescued, but my mother, although she was saved in the end,
32:18was violated by the bandits while she was pregnant with me.
32:21The bandits had no humanity.
32:23Everyone said that my mother should have hanged herself with a rope after losing her virtue,
32:27but she refused.
32:28For the sake of me in her womb, she struggled to live on.
32:32My father, for the sake of his reputation,
32:34couldn't divorce her himself because it was my mother who saved him.
32:37If he divorced her, it would be seen as a breach of faith,
32:40which would hinder his official career.
32:42So he had my mother sent to a dilapidated and abandoned farm outside the capital,
32:46claiming it was to let her rest in peace and avoid gossip while she was pregnant.
32:49But that farm was in a state of disrepair and long abandoned.
32:52It was far from a good place to rest and give birth.
32:55After half a year when my mother was forgotten by everyone,
32:58my father remarried his teacher's daughter in a grand ceremony.
33:01On the day of his new marriage, my mother gave birth to me.
33:05For the sake of my mother, my mother gave birth to me.
33:06For the sake of my mother, my mother gave birth to me.
33:06For the sake of my mother, my mother gave birth to me.
33:07For the sake of my father, my father gave birth to me.
33:07For the sake of my mother gave birth to me.
