Features: The favor of the emperor flows like water, leaving only sorrow in his absence. Do not sing of "flowers falling" before the wine cup, for the cool wind only blows at the western end of the palace. I, Yang Guifei, since entering the palace, have been excessively favored. I thought the emperor's heart could be trusted, and that we would enjoy a hundred years of joy. Who knew my fate was not favorable? In a single day of anger, I was sent back to my private residence in a palace carriage. Once out of the Golden Gate, it felt like being separated by nine heavens. (Crying) Oh, the moon in the palace will never shine upon my shadow again; the flowers outside the garden have already lost their hope of climbing the branches. Clasping my arms in sorrow, I can only sigh in vain. How tragic it is! [Zhonglve Guoqu · Liuhua Qi] [Shiliuhua] My silk robes are wiped clean, still scented by the imperial fragrance, but where can I repay the former favor? I longed for spring outings, from dawn till dusk, [Qiyanyuan] Never expecting rain and clouds to part. I was once full of coquetry and resentment, asking him for countless dependences, but never expecting the sudden separation due to a cross branch, breaking our intertwined fate. Maid, is there any place from here where we can see the palace? (Mei) Ahead, on the imperial edict pavilion, if you look northwest, you can see the palace walls. (Dang) Follow me up the pavilion. (Mei) Understood. (Dang climbs the pavilion) "The western palace is far beyond sight, heartbroken just by climbing the tower." (Mei points) Your Highness, this stretch of yellow-tiled glazed roofs is not the Nine palace? (Dang, tears in her eyes) P29
