[Can't Buy Me Love]
Episode 17
Kill all three of them!
Get me the biggest and sharpest saber.
If I'm going to die anyway, I'm not going to take it lying down!
Ouch!
Get away from me!
There they are! Get them!
Hey! Hey!
What are you doing? I'm the victim!
Stop! Freeze!
This is my mom, Loi Hei.
Those are the kidnappers.
- Mom, are you all right? - Dor Shau!
- Madam Loi Hei, are you okay? - Mom Loi Hei, you all right?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Dad, Mom, are you all right?
Yau Wai, we just had a brush with death.
You brought the officers here just in time.
Cousin Dor Luk brought the officers here.
He's the one you should thank.
- Come on, come on. - Be quick.
Dor Luk, my dear nephew. Thank you for saving our lives.
Please, we should thank heaven for the good fortune.
Everyone is safe and sound, that's what it counts.
Yes, you're right.
Thank you for your encouragement.
I knew I couldn't give up.
Only after hearing your words could I save Mom Loi Hei and the others.
Thank you!
I don't know why, but every time when I felt weak and helpless
I remembered your teachings, your every word of wisdom.
Kam Dor Luk, you can't let yourself fall, no matter what.
Remember the spirit of the Kams. No going weak at the knees!
You can do it, you can do it, come on...
'We are born with our fate but you can't leave it to fate.'
'Our fate is in our own hands.'
We are born with our fate but you can't leave it to fate.
Our fate is in our own hands.
We are born with our fate but you can't leave it to fate.
Our fate is in our own hands.
Mom Loi Hei is waiting for me to rescue her.
Man is the master of his own fate.
Kam Dor Luk, get up! You can do it!
You revived my will to fight.
I not only saved myself but also Mom Loi Hei and others.
Your great kindness to the Kam family will always be remembered.
Your Highness, you have been writing for four hours.
Why don't you take a break?
The day after tomorrow is the second day of the second month.
Oh yes, it is the birthday of your late grandmother.
'Our will can change the situation. Free yourself from materialistic worries.'
These really are words of wisdom.
The sermons my grandmother left me really are more valuable than gold.
I really envy you. You had a grandma that was so good to you.
You have a princess that is good to you.
I wonder who has the good fortune to pick up your paper dragonflies
and get the benefit of their wisdom.
The dragonflies go where the wind takes them, and spread their wisdom around.
They will fall into worthy hands.
'Don't get mad when others are mad. Getting mad will make you ill.'
'Life is but a dream. Don't get mad with trivial things.'
'Wind blows, clouds fly and a year goes by.'
'Don't dwell on gains and losses.'
You have memorized the sermons! You are the most blessed.
Obviously! Who wouldn't feel blessed to be your bodyguard?
What an oily tongue!
Let me grind the ink for you.
Granny Kam, here is just a little token. Please accept it.
This is Yun Wu tea, with subtle flavors. It is premium tea.
The container is very pretty, very elegant.
It is exquisite, the container alone costs a fortune.
And ginseng and bird's nest for the rest of the family.
- Thank you indeed - Thank you.
Yau Wai, how's your injury?
The physician said I will be fine. Thank you for your concern.
Thanks to Sz's quick-thinking, the venom has not gone into my system.
Thank you, Sz.
I should thank you instead.
You kicked the snake away and saved me.
- I should thank you - I should thank you instead.
Really, I should thank you.
Anyway, thanks to the Kam family's help, my husband and I were saved.
And Cousin Loi Hei, you have forgiven us...
I am forgetful in my old age, I can't seem to recall any strife between us.
Thank you, Cousin Loi Hei.
Have some tea, Cousin Choi Wong.
- Thank you - Enjoy...
The tea is refreshing, and the kinship is touching.
It really is uplifting.
You've wrested yourselves away from a bad situation, in more ways that one.
The credit goes to our Kam spirit.
Charge ahead, and hit the rascals on the head.
Thinking back, it was predestined.
If Father had known where Mom put the money notes
he wouldn't have come to Aunt to borrow money.
Aunt wouldn't have known about the ordeal and all
you couldn't have helped us.
I say it was meant to be.
Master, you are forgetful. I told you the money notes are inside the pillow.
It was ten thousand taels.
You didn't smell it every night when you went to bed?
I was so worried about you
I wouldn't have noticed if there was a mountain of gold in front of me.
Uncle really was worried about you, Aunt.
He offered to pay us 1,000 taels of interest.
That's a big commitment for a cheap man.
Oh yes, Uncle, you have saved 10,000 taels.
You should drink on it.
Now that I have had a brush with death
I don't take money so seriously anymore.
Milady, you said you wanted to go to Jade House for some jade pieces.
Why don't you go get some jewelry to calm your nerves?
I don't think so. You said you liked the thumb rings in King Tai.
You go get your favorite piece.
No, you use the money for hairpins.
Thumb ring!
I am the master of the house, do as I say.
But I control the purse strings, just do as I say.
You two stop it.
Why don't you let me decide how you spend the money?
- Sure, please go ahead. - Yes, please.
Shanxi is suffering from drought and the crops have failed.
Why don't you donate the money for relief?
Charity puts you on the right side of God.
- Good idea. - Good, good!
She's right, Mom and Dad. Heaven was kind to us.
We should do more good deeds to repay the kindness.
Charity is a good idea...
I will donate... one... hundred taels.
Don't be stingy...we had a brush with death, after all. We can donate more.
- Make it... two hundred taels. - Wow!
The Kam family should donate to the relief.
Loi Hei, let us donate... one thousand taels.
Yes, Mother.
Dad, Aunt will donate a thousand. We too should donate a thousand, right?
All right... one thousand then.
Good deeds will be rewarded.
Yuk is going to make us a feast to sooth our nerves.
Abalone, ginseng, shark's fin, pig's knuckle, golden chicken... you name it.
Why don't you join us?
Well... so sumptuous! We thank you.
We are honored, we will stay behind for the feast.
Yuk, you and Sz start preparation.
- Yes, Mom Loi Hei. - Yes, Madam Loi Hei.
It is just two o'clock, we have a long wait.
Loi Hei, me, and you two... there are four of us.
Let us have a game of poker.
You and your daughter-in-law as partners?
You two as partners too, as husband and wife.
All right, us two versus you two. Good.
Siu Lan, Siu Ho, go set the game up.
Yes, Granny Kam.
The elders have poker to pass the time. We should do something too.
Let us play chess for our edification.
Chess playing trains our concentration and sharpens our minds.
As Cousin Dor Luk said, it is quite educational.
Then let's go play in my room!
Please excuse us.
- Brothers, get set! - Yes!
You guys really like to play chess! You must be good competition.
Cousin Dor Fook, what are you rummaging for?
Are the pieces in there?
Wine cups?
Here we are.
Wine? And three pots?
Half a leg of Yunnan ham?
- Come sit down. - Come on.
We have no chess board here, but we do have wine and meat.
Jiannan liquor, brothers in stupor.
Right?
- Brothers! - Get set!
Why do you have so many different knives hidden here?
Different meats call for different instruments.
Roast pork calls for a chopper.
Chicken, duck, and goose, have their own special carvers.
As for Yunnan ham, it is simple.
We need the slices thin, to go with every sip.
You sure know your stuff.
Hold it. The Yunnan ham will soon be finished.
It's about time to get a new one.
It is said that the market on the north end
has premium Jinhua ham. I'll grab one later!
- Good. - Good!
- Let us begin. - Stand back.
Shau, stand still.
Such skill!
No big deal. Practice makes perfect.
Cousin Yau Wai, shall we?
- Cousin Yau Wai. - Cousin Yau Wai.
Our toast to you!
I don't drink.
You join our party whenever you feel like it.
It will help shake off your nerdiness.
You need drinking buddies to enjoy it.
Cheers...
- Good. - Good.
We share our treats and our liquor.
Our games and our fights.
Speaking of fights, you remember that time we fought Po when we were little?
- Of course! - Po who?
He was a bully.
He bullied me and Luk when we were small.
His family ran a grocery store on our street.
He snatched away my candy apple every time I passed by.
He would trip me whenever he saw me.
One day, we three brothers struck back.
I held him by the waist.
I hit him on the head.
I kicked his shins.
And he...
Had to beg for mercy on all fours.
Brothers of one mind...
Are invincible!
- Good! - Cheers!
Yes, it is good to have brothers.
You can help each other, and share each other's happiness and woes.
Drink your loneliness away. Let your singing soar to the sky.
- Just sit down. - No poetry here.
Let me tell you, from now on, we are no longer three brothers.
With you... we are four brothers.
- If you see us as brothers, lets drink! - Cheers!
Marrying a princess is quite all right.
I call the shots, I am the man.
I stand tall, I won't fall, I won't fall.
Nice! So full of masculine spirit. I like it.
We all like it!
Marrying a princess is quite all right.
I call the shots, I am the man.
I stand tall, I won't fall, I won't fall.
Well? Are the five-color dumplings to your standard?
I'd say you got it 80% right. It's not smooth enough.
Add in some lard, next time you make the wrapping.
Then, it will melt in the mouth. Smooth without being sticky.
Making dumplings is not simple at all.
No wonder it has captured His Majesty's heart.
What counts is Your Highness' care for Father.
Wing Ho has gone mad. Dowager Tsui has gone on retreat.
Father is still unhappy about it.
But whenever he has Your Highness' dumplings
His Majesty forgets all of his troubles.
To brighten Father up, you want me to teach you how to make dumplings?
I just want to share His Majesty's worries and do my part.
I can't visit Father all the time. Now that have the gist of it
making dumplings for Father is your responsibility.
I have ordered Chief Chef Law to prepare the ingredients.
She picks the finest flour.
You'll have to try it again this evening to see if my dumplings taste like yours.
You got it.
Kong Chau Yuet of the Imperial kitchen, at your service.
Lady Suen, Princess Chiu Yeung, please help.
What happened?
Chief Chef Law was preparing ingredients for Lady Suen
but Eunuch Shum suddenly came and took her away.
He said that it was Lady Wai's order.
Lady Suen, Princess Chiu Yeung here.
Lady Wai, greetings.
Sister Sau Yi, Chiu Yeung, what perfect timing.
Come enjoy this fermented rice with me, it is quite delicious.
I have something to ask you.
Sister Sau Yi, you don't show me respect?
You think my fermented rice doesn't match up to your...
five-color dumplings?
I hear that you have been industrious.
You have asked Chiu Yeung how to make five-color dumplings.
I want to try it too.
But what a pity, I hate dumplings.
Especially five-color dumplings.
When I was first made a lady, it was at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I knew His Majesty liked dumplings, so I prepared some for him myself.
But His Majesty... he didn't appreciate it.
He swept them off the table and left in a huff.
A celebration dinner was ruined. I was left to pass the night alone.
Do you know why?
His Majesty had just got news that Lady Yin
your mother, had died out of court.
His Majesty was grief-stricken.
The dumplings reminded him of her, and he took it out on me.
Chiu Yeung, I am being frank. I hope you don't mind.
Of course not.
I have hated dumplings ever since.
Whether the filling is sweet or salty, I just find it bitter.
I think they stink!
I didn't know you had this unhappy experience, it was my oversight.
Chief Chef Law just carried out my order.
She is not the one to blame.
I punished her for talking behind your back.
It is because you are His Majesty's favorite. They all suck up to you.
They have forgotten their positions.
And they get... what they deserve.
Chief Chef Law is honest and upright.
She is not the blathering type. Was it some misunderstanding?
Your Highnesses, I overheard it in the Imperial Garden myself.
Chief Chef Law said Lady Suen's dumplings
are comparable to Princess Chiu Yeung's.
Just as smooth and fine.
His Majesty will appreciate it and he may spend every night with Lady Suen.
Just a maid, and she dared to be so presumptuous.
Sister Sau Yi, don't you agree she deserved her punishment?
But you are magnanimous. Why get mad over a maid?
The nerve!
Sister Sau Yi, don't get it wrong. I didn't mean you.
Whoever His Majesty wants to spend the night with
it is not up the maids to make comments or guesses.
I am in charge of the royal harem. I have to straighten them out.
To make an example out of her. And as a warning to others.
Lady Wai, you killed Chief Chef Law?
She may have misspoke, but she didn't deserve to die.
Lady Wai, you have gone too far.
Chiu Yeung, you're telling me I'm wrong?
I dare not, but Father rules the country with benevolence.
Lady Wai, if you rule the royal harem with severe laws
then you are in opposition with Father.
I was given the position. I have my duties.
So I can't even kill a mere maid? I should first ask for your permission?
It is not personal. But if Father learns of this, I am sure he will not approve.
Just because you are Father's favorite, you are throwing your weight around?
So from now on, I have to ask your permission before every move?
Chiu Yeung is also frank. She means Lady Wai no disrespect.
Chiu Yeung, you sure are sharp of tongue.
No wonder you drove Wing Ho mad.
What happened to Wing Ho is in the past.
I just want to know, whether Chief Chef Law--
Relax. I am not that cold-blooded. She is still alive.
Lady Wai, you are so generous. Please be lenient with her.
Lenient? I'm afraid it's too late for that.
But... you just said she is still alive.
Her life has been spared, but her punishment has not.
Bring the slut in.
Your Highness, at your service.
Slut, do you know why I have slapped you across the mouth?
I am... sorry.
You dared to gossip about His Majesty, and spread distasteful remarks.
The next time you are disrespectful
if you do it with your hands, I will have them chopped.
If you have disrespectful thoughts
I will have your heart plucked out.
- Do you understand? - Yes!
Lady Suen pleaded for you, or you would be dead now.
You owe your life to Lady Suen, remember that.
Now go thank Lady Suen.
Lady Suen, I thank you.
Chief Chef Law, your lips are swollen and bleeding, speak no more.
It's only her lips, her hands are fine.
She can still prepare five-color dumplings for you.
Isn't that nice of me?
I did what Chiu Yeung pleaded. I treated her with leniency.
Chiu Yeung, don't say I am severe again, or I will get angry.
It was a slip of the tongue, please forgive me.
Now we all got what we wanted. Consider this over.
You are all excused.
'Let the thunderstorms blow. Just seek your own peaceful mind.'
Your Highness, you still feel bad about what Lady Wai did yesterday?
Grandma warned me that the court is treacherous
and full of double-crossings.
It is rife with infighting.
I just don't get it. Why can't people coexist in peace?
Why do they have to fight and scheme?
Do sisterly love and kinship have no place in the court?
Only commoners can feel those emotions?
The Kam family is filled with filial piety and brotherly love.
Even though they have different mothers, they can live in peace.
They have mutual respect and support.
But the royal family is filled with plotting and suspicion.
Even backstabbing. To the point where coexistence is impossible.
Maybe this is what is meant by 'It is a blessing to be ordinary.'
'We cannot expect everything to go our way.'
'Just make sure we have done nothing wrong.'
I hope Grandma's mottos will spread with the wind
and that the blessings can be shared.
'Blessed not with fortunes but blessed with smiles.'
'Be easy with happenings and walk your own path.'
'Birds of the same flock can weather the bad elements together.'
Help me tidy up my wardrobe. Throw away the worn clothes.
Yes.
Siu Ho...
Master Shau, I am wanted?
Yes. You tidied up my room.
The longevity locket drawing is missing. Have you seen it?
Yes. It had blown to the floor so I rolled it up and put it here.
Oh, thank heavens, you gave me a scare.
- Shau! - Yes?
What drawing? You were so worried.
The longevity locket that Sz wants me to make for her.
The drawing was altered several times.
Now it is almost done. I wouldn't know what to do if it were gone.
Let me put it back.
My love, why so late?
This is a lucky month, so there are more celebrations.
I had to stay in the shop longer.
What? Why are you holding me so tight? You missed me?
This is serious.
A common cold is serious to you.
I have found out a big secret. Shau suddenly cares for Sz.
What do you think it means?
I don't understand.
Well... when you first fell in love with me, I said I wanted a gold scepter.
You stayed up all night to work on the schematic
and then you upset a cup of tea on it and...
I was distraught!
I tried to dry it on the fire but I was impatient and my sleeve got caught.
My face was blackened by the smoke. I was almost burnt!
Right, and Shau is working on a longevity locket for Sz.
He thought the drawing was missing and he was so anxious.
So those two...
Which two are you talking about?
We are talking about Sz and...
If they have done anything wrong, you should correct them.
Don't gossip about them behind their backs.
Madam Loi Hei, we weren't gossiping about them!
I was telling Fook that Shau is in love with Sz.
- Really? - What is going on?
Come, sit down and tell me.
Ancestors above, my three grandsons are devoted.
Please bless them with offspring so that the Kam family can multiply.
Mother, Dor Fook and Dor Luk are married.
You will have great-grandchildren very soon.
What about Dor Shau?
I hope that he will get married soon.
But who knew he would fall in love with Sz?
He has not mentioned it to me.
You're his mother. How do you feel about this?
As a mother, I want him to marry a modest girl with good upbringing.
She has to come from a respectable family.
Only then can she be a good match for the Kam family.
I want the best for him, but I don't want him to say I am tyrannical.
I don't know what to do.
Let us leave it to our ancestors.
The smoke goes straight up, a good sign.
It means our ancestors agree with us.
Well...
No more hesitations, it is decided.
Okay, so what do you seek in a daughter-in-law?
She doesn't have to be a great beauty.
Beauty does not a good daughter-in-law make.
But she can't be too ugly.
She only has to make a man's heart go aflutter.
Right, Princess and I may not be great beauties.
But we are pleasing to look at.
Her family doesn't have to be rich and powerful.
But it has to be cultivated and learned.
Like me. As a Kam daughter-in-law, I have to behave with propriety.
She has to be respectful to the elders. And not afraid of hard work.
She should be well-versed in the four arts.
And know the three obediences and the four virtues.
Those are secondary... A wife first of all has to be kind and gentle.
In addition to good character, she has to be very fertile.
We need to continue the Kam line
so that I may be blessed with great-grandchildren.
If such a girl exists, I think Yau Wai will find it hard not to marry her himself.
That can't be so. The Kams saved his parents' lives.
Yau Wai is a man that will repay kindness done.
He will not fight with Dor Shau.
Moreover, we are not that demanding. Such girls should be plentiful.
Yau Wai, am I right?
Yes...
I will look for the right girl for you. I will do my best.
Have some tea.
Who knew Granny Kam is so picky when it comes to her granddaughter-in-law?
She has to have the right family background and all sorts of other qualities.
The Kam family is well-known in the capital.
We should be demanding.
She made it clear the woman has to be fertile.
I've been married into the Kam family for so long
but I have still been fruitless. She was hinting at her disapproval.
What? That's not what she meant.
If she has to lay blame for that, it should be on me.
She said her family has to cultivated.
But my family has gone into decline. She looks down on me.
Chiu Yeung is the second daughter-in-law.
She is a rank below me.
But her family, her status, and her fortune, are way above mine.
She is a princess after all. She should beat me in everything.
But if Shau marries a high and mighty lady
then I will be demoted to third in importance.
They can order me around!
My current status will mean absolutely nothing.
Siu Yuk, stop it. I am the eldest son.
You are the eldest daughter-in-law.
You will always be number one.
Time's up, your turn to sit down.
Oh yes...
I say Shau should marry Sz.
Sz is not bad at all.
She is hard-working. She has no family background.
She is obedient and easygoing.
Most importantly, Shau loves her.
Yes, that is important. But a marriage has to be approved by the parents.
And through a proper matchmaker.
If Grandma and Madam Lo Hei do not agree with it, we can't oppose them.
You double-dealer!
Stop, I didn't even touch you.
No?
You just said Sz was good.
Then you said we have to listen to Grandma.
You tell me, do you want Shau to marry Sz or wait for a good match?
Siu Yuk, many things are not up to me.
Leave it to heaven.
You have talked so long Your throat must be dry.
Let me get you some hot tea to soothe it.
It won't take long...
Leave it to heaven?
Why not leave it to me?
- Dor Shau. - Yes?
Working on the longevity locket for Sz?
Yes, the alteration is almost done.
Be quick or you will miss the boat.
What boat?
I mean... grab the chance.
Be quick with it, don't sit on it.
Why should I be in such a hurry? Great work takes time.
- There is no time to spare. - What?
Look at the flowers.
They are in bloom.
They have weathered the elements.
They are strong and have determination.
You must pick the flowers when they are in bloom.
Don't wait until they have wilted. You will regret it.
Or like a cup!
What has a cup got to do with it?
I once fell for a pair of his and hers cups.
One with a duck and one with a drake.
I had the money, but I hesitated.
When I went to get them the following day, there was only the duck cup.
I asked the boss and he said he was careless and broke the drake cup.
Only one was left, and it was lonely.
I failed to get them in the end.
Thinking back, I still regret it.
Shau, do you get what I'm saying?
Sz...
Master Shau, I am wanted?
The alteration on the longevity locket is done.
I want to show it to you.
- Really? - Yes.
It's similar to mine, but it should be rounder here.
- And surrounded by engravings. - Okay.
The chimes are closer together, not so far apart.
Let me correct them.
Master Shau, I am sorry you have to alter it again.
It's all right! I want it to look like your old one.
Actually if I could win the competition, you would be spared of the trouble.
What competition?
The Dragon and Phoenix Bun Shop on Peacock Street.
The boss and lady boss are celebrating their sixtieth anniversary.
They have been married for so long and they are still so loving, and healthy.
They are hosting a bun eating competition as celebration.
Entrants have to be in pairs, one male, one female.
- The pair that eats the most buns, wins. - I see.
I meant to enter it with Gardener Ping
but he overstuffed himself before it began.
Now I am alone, I don't know what to do.
Where does one find a bun eating partner?
You really want to enter the competition?
The winner will get a longevity locket.
Just eating buns? I can eat. Let me go with you.
You?
[Dragon and Phoenix Bun Shop]
And the Chomp Nonstop Bun Eating Competition is drawing to its finale!
After some very stiff competition, three pairs are left.
Go chomp hard and don't stop.
The first pair, Cheung Hui Sau and Ng Sheung Fei.
From their looks you can tell they are formidable.
One bite, one bun. It is quite exciting.
The second pair, Tai Sik Jik, who claims to have an elastic stomach
and Wong Fung Yiu, who says she just can't get fat.
They look a little green. I wouldn't bet the farm on them lasting long.
The third pair, Master Shau and Sz.
Cool. They look steely and determined. They will make it big!
Master Shau, bravo!
It seems the second pair can't make it. They throw in the towel.
Now, only two pairs are left.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheung, and Master Shau and Sz.
Cheung Hui Sau, Ng Sheung Fei, bravo!
The buns are going fast. And their bellies are growing fast.
Which pair will win?
The competition is fierce. Who will be the last pair standing?
Ng Sheung Fei feeds the bun to her husband.
That isn't a very nice move. Don't do things you wouldn't want done to you.
Cheung Hui Sau obviously believes in sharing as well!
He feeds his wife buns.
When victory is within reach, integrity is pushed aside.
Some people have to be sacrificed.
Master Shan and Sz have one bun left, but they both look very full.
What will they do? Will they pass it to the other?
Master Shan looks done while Sz looks determined.
Will they finish the bun or will the bun finish them?
Master Shau, bravo.
Master Shau is awesome.
He stuffed himself with the bun! He is such a gentleman.
The others should be ashamed.
Master Shau, bravo!
Bravo, Master Shau!
Yeah!
We won!
Master Shau, bravo!
I can't believe we won the longevity locket!
I am so happy.
It is a bit plain.
It doesn't look like the one your benefactor gave you. You still like it?
Yes, very much. Because we won it. We spared no effort to earn it.
It is memorable.
Look, it has your name on it.
Still, I will make the locket of your dreams for you.
Overeating doesn't feel so good, does it?
If you had let me take a break, I could have finished that last bun.
That's okay, we were one bite from victory.
I couldn't let you lose.
Master Shau, you really are nice.
Hawthorn cordial, good for digestion.
That man is selling hawthorn berries. That would be perfect for our stomachs.
Come on. My treat.
Okay.
Hawthorn cordial... Hey, hawthorn cordial.
Why does he keep going?
Hey, wait for us, hawthorn cordial.
Pardon me.
Shau.
Hey!
Brother Luk, Brother Fook will be here after he has wrapped things up.
Look at you, your mind is not here. You can't stop smiling.
There are only two possibilities.
What are they?
First, you have been to Yee Hung Lau. Let me smell you.
Brother Luk, watch your mouth. Gross.
No?
The second one is you have fallen in love.
See! You are blushing.
I'm right!
You have to believe me, you will have luck in love.
Actually, it is a double happiness. Marriage and very soon pregnancy.
- As you say! - Take care.
- Brother Pok. - Prince Dor Luk.
Brother Pok, this is Brother Dor Shau.
Brother Dor Luk, what brings you here for tea?
I want you to read my brother's fortune.
See if his romance star is ascending, or the fortune star is smiling on him.
Far from it.
Look, his eyes are big, but ferocious. There is no sight of the romance star.
His crow's feet are dry. He has to wait until spring for romance to come.
You think so?
And Prince Dor Luk, I worry about you too.
What? I still have luck for love?
You wish! The corners of your eyes look dark.
- That is not a good sign. - What?
The corners of my eyes look dark?
That indicates my spouse.
Let me have a look.
What does it mean?
When there is a gain, there is a loss. Your wife will be stabbed.
What? Who will be stabbed?
Brother Pok, are you joking? Don't be mean, please.
Luckily, you have high cheekbones. It may take a good turn.
Oh good, I'm relieved.
But who knows? Maybe she survives it, or maybe you can't stop it.
You'll be fine.
Either way, it is your wife who is in trouble.
The princess...
She is in danger?
Yeah, she's in danger. That's what I've been saying.
Let me see... It is noon, the sun is directly above.
That means fire... physical danger is imminent.
There is no getting away! Either Chiu Yeung or I will see blood!
- Chiu Yeung. - Your Highness, at your service.
Lady Wai, greetings.
Come sit down, Sister Sau Yi and Chiu Yeung.
You are just in time.
The Imperial Kitchen has sent over some flower-themed desserts.
They complement the blooming flowers.
Oh yeah, Sister Sau Yi, what do you think of these Hainan pearls?
They are lustrous and translucent and all equal in size. They are very rare.
Hainan pearls? Those were just presented to His Majesty.
You knew about them too? His Majesty gave them only to me.
What a pity, there are only enough for a string necklace.
I can't make you one.
I appreciate the thought.
Where is Her Highness?
She is appreciating the flowers with Lady Suen and Lady Wai.
She is in front.
Then walk faster.
I can spare two for a pair of earrings.
Chiu Yeung, would you like them?
Pearls are elegant.
To complement them, the wearer has to have some life experience.
I am not at that stage of life yet.
Lady Suen doesn't have your life experience either.
That's why Father gave them to you.
Assassin!
Assassin...
Come, protect the royalty!
- Your Highness! - Your Highness!
Princess Chiu Yeung!
Forfeit your life!
Princess, run!
Prince Dor Luk!
