The 47th Episode
Xia Chun Feng! Stop drinking!
Don't touch me.
If I don't care about you, who would?
Your mother is already dead.
Even the seven-day mourning is done. You didn't even go visit.
I understand. You are afraid of being more sad when you are there.
Are you still blaming me?
You have no idea what your mother did without you knowing.
So did you.
I know.
In your heart,
my older brother is more important after all.
So what?
Xia Chun Feng, don't you remember what you said to me before?
You told me that you are on my side between your mother and I.
You said you will love me no matter what kind of person I am.
What about now? Everything just changed?
I don't know. I don't know!!!
So you just drink, isn't it?
I will drink with you then.
Are you okay?
I am okay. It's just drinking, is not it?
Stop drinking! Stop drinking!!!
It's all my fault alright. I know that my mother is the one to blame.
I was not trying to blame you.
Weren't you?
Even though...
I am very sad right now,
but it will pass.
That's more like it.
Xiao Lian, are you okay? Did it upset your stomach?
I saw you threw up a few times.
I am fine with some sour dates.
I will have Xiao Ya to buy some tomorrow.
I think I should get you a doctor.
I am afraid that I need to see a gynecologist.
I didn't have my period this month.
What did you say?
Throwing up...
plus no period...
Chun Feng...
I think I might be...
You are saying...
We are having a baby! You will be a father soon!
I...
I am going to be a father?
Don't you not want him?
Don't want him to have a mean mother like me?
No, no no no. That's not what I meant!
I am going to be a dad! A father!
Stop it. The smell of alcohol makes me sick. Go clean up.
Ok, ok. Right away. Just wait here.
Don't move. I will be back in a minute.
Didn't you want me to be miserable?
I will live my best life and show you.
All these time, cooking was considered to be a lower class career.
Many mothers point at cooks and tell their kids:
you have to study hard,
or else you will be like them when you grow up.
However, it was people like us who have this lower class career,
saved civility from barbarity.
Using our own hand to satisfy others' cravings.
I am a cook.
A girl cook.
I always wanted to be a cook.
I fought a lot with my dad because of it.
It is difficult and exhausting to be a cook.
But,
I never depend on others.
I am proud of every cent I made.
I feel comfortable spending it.
Every time I see someone liking my dish,
the satisfying smile you have when they are eating.
I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.
Food I made with sincerity,
can makes someone happy, satisfies their stomach,
How could we not have the reason to be proud of ourselves?
Cooking is not only just a skillset,
but also part of our culture.
Every single one of us is the heir of Chinese culture.
So, we have the reason to be proud of ourselves!
I endorse for myself!
That's it for today.
Thank you, everyone!
You may go now.
Why did you sneak in and listen to it?
How would I know my wife is this awesome if I didn't sneak in?
As the old saying goes, "Teaching a disciple well will starve the master to death." But you?
Other great chefs will keep their secret techniques, while you are teaching them all.
I've long wanted to set up this cooking class.
Do you know that what our cooking industry lacks the most is a great chef?
If the talents in this field will increase,
one, it can decrease the capital for a chef.
- See? - I know that you're going to say that I'm addicted to money. Let me finish.
Second, it can increase your choices.
Third, doing this cooking class
is also a form of promotional gimmick for Heavenly Restaurant.
Since Prince Yu is willing to sponsor it as a friend,
of course, I immediately set it up.
This calculations of yours were done so precisely.
But I'm very curious. How come my little money grubber has suddenly developed such grand ambition?
I have always been a person with ambitions.
It's exactly because I know that I can't fulfill my ambitions by myself,
that's why, I needed thousands of people of the same path as me to work hard with me.
Try to make it everyone's ambition.
I know. I'm just joking with you.
Of course, I know that my Yao Yao is a talented woman that no one in this dynasty can surpass.
- Annoying. - Am I right?
Let me introduce someone to you.
Who?
Brother Chunyu. Sister Yao Yao.
- Aren't you that— - That's right. It's me.
We can be considered as being friends by fighting.
She's the only daughter of my Uncle Gemu,
Princess A'ruan of Ximin.
She came to our capital city for—
Stop saying too much! Sister Yao Yao, I want to eat some ice cream.
Delicious! It's so delicious!
That Li Yao you were talking about, bought you ice cream?
Yes, of course, but he was actually a liar.
What?
He stole my bangle,
while I was drunk.
He is not that kind of person.
Tell me, how did you guys meet?
It goes back to Tian Shang Ju.
I see...
And then I went back to outside the border, and he actually followed me there.
But, he couldn't beat me.
So, of course, I can't give my bangle back.
Yet he was such a stubborn person. He asked me to challenge him many times.
I figured he probably knows only a little about fighting since he looked so puny.
Fighting must be difficult for him. In this case, I could be his teacher.
He bought you ice cream because you beat him?
Hmmm, not just ice cream,
also moon cake and red bean milk pudding.
He said those are good stuff from Tian Shang Ju.
He had lots to say about food.
He also said he is the "golden tongue" of the capital.
He used to only know about eating. Now he knows how to cook.
Yeah. It's all because of you.
It seems like I found the right place.
You know him right? Get him out of here and make him give my bangle back.
You are wrong, miss.
It is his bangle. He has the right to keep it. Why does he have to give it to you?
I don't care. He didn't beat me, then he is my slave.
He ran away from me, so of course, I need to find him.
Ok now. Let me ask you some question.
You need to answer them truthfully.
How many times has he found you?
Many many times. I lost count.
And you guys fought everytime you met?
Not jut fighting.
He cooked me food sometimes.
Or told me stories.
Why are you guys looking at me like this? He is my slave.
Those are his job!
Why didn't the ice cream melt, since it's really hot outside of the border?
No, it didn't even melt a bit.
He was sweating a lot that time carrying a thick blanket,
jut to wrap an ice cream this small. It was so funny!
Really? Ok. Last question.
Don't you really really really really want to see him right now?
Of course. Day and night.
Except when I am sleeping. I think about him all the time!
Not only that. Sometimes I think about him in my dream.
No, I dreamt about him sometimes.
Don't misunderstand this.
He is just my slave. I only want my bangle.
Ok. We will definitely help you.
Guarantee.
Yup.
Are you here, sister?
Are you here?
Sister.
What are you doing here? Need me for something?
I know you are a celebrity chef.
But your hands can be harmed by all the chores you do in the kitchen.
This lamb oil based lotion from the palace.
Use it in the morning and night can keep your skin smooth.
Hand cream!
You sure it's for me?
I was arrogant and spoiled before.
Offended you in many ways.
Please forgive me.
Stupid donkey told me that you changed and I didn't believe him.
Alright alright!
My best and worst trait has always been my bad memory.
What happened in the past is past.
Thanks for the hand cream.
Since you forgive me for what happened,
then can I have my stuff back?
What? What stuff?
So it seems like my sincerity is not enough.
I didn't take anything from you.
You just gave me this hand cream!
We are family now, sister.
Would you gain anything if I am in trouble?
What do you mean?
Please give me back thing Xia You Shi gave to you.
He didn't give me anything.
Really?
Yeah!
What did he tell you?
Don't tell me you visited him in the prison. He just drank that poisoned wine and died?
Don't say anything untrue! Gugu sent him the wine. It had nothing to do with me.
I didn't say anything about you. Why are you nervous?
I was trying to say that I was not there when he got arrested.
And he has been in prison, which I didn't even go visit.
How could he given me anything?
What about before? Think hard.
Or did he have someone else give you something?
There really isn't anything.
Actually, stupid donkey told me about your relationship with him.
Were you oppressed for too long, which made you depressed,
and got paranoid paranoia...
Rude! What did brother Chun Yu know about me and what did he tell you???
Ok Ok! I said the wrong thing. It was my fault.
I don't need to tell you what happens between me and my husband.
I was never interested in your business.
Today you either give back my stuff, or
I won't be easy on you.
I don't have anything to give you!
Also, what are you doing here, really?
You call me "sister" this, "sister" that,
just to pretend?
Ye Jinxuan, I did try to hurt you.
But you don't have to be like this.
You think you can threaten me
with that thing you have?
Don't forget, I am still a princess.
Just because you are the lady in the house,
you are still just a cook.
I don't want to argue with you. Get out!
Are you giving me or not?
No! I am not giving anything to you!
You just ruined my entire day!
Are you giving me or not, Ye Jinxuan?
What are you doing? Let go!
Let me tell you, with your personality,
I really need something to scare you straight.
Get out of here. Also, take the hand cream. Get our!
Princess...
I didn't mean to do it.
How much is it? I will buy you a new one, alright?
Let's go!
You are with child, princess. Don't get too angry and hurt the baby...
Princess!
WTF...
This is ridiculous!
Ye Jinxuan's attitude...
do you think that she really doesn't have the record?
-I think she might have it. -Why is that?
Every woman can get jealous.
It's not like she doesn't know what happened between you and
In addition, she is the lady of the house now,
if I was her, I would get even with those who wronged me.
Also, didn't she said that she has it in the end?
You are making sense.
Put myself in her shoes,
if I get something like that,
I would keep it and never give it to my enemy.
Princess, if she is the one who calls the shot in the future,
she wouldn't make us leave, would she?
Then we will be so miserable.
I dare her. Let me tell you,
I am a princess with high status.
And I will be for the rest of my life.
It was not easy for me to have what I have now.
I would not let her spoil it!
Good!
Xiao Jing, you did grow bigger.
Da...Mrs. Xia!
You are indeed different.
Taller? More tan?
We are not the same people anymore. You are no long the Li Yao you used to be.
So, I am not the He Lianjing I used to be.
So you used my name to get chicks?
What?
I meant, why were you doing this to a little girl from outside the border?
Don't tell me that bangle is yours.
Did you guys said the winner gets the bangle?
You met A Ruan?
Let me tell you, she lied about it.
You lost again!
But you did improve a lot.
Can't believe that you went through 30 moves with me.
By the way, what food did you bring today?
You were never shamed about scamming food from me.
Forget it. I know that I can't beat you. I did bring it.
So this is the special of Tian Shang Ju? Not so special to me.
It's just like the hot pot we have here.
Not as good as the ice cream.
The nine different slots,
are for different sauces and different tempreture.
Different ingredient chopped into different shapes.
They can be shreds or cubes.
And there are slices. You can get different texture from them.
Of course, most importantly, the nine slots are for separating them.
These three are for you, and the rest are for me.
Why do you get six and I only get three? It's not fair!
You are a lady. Why eat so much?
Forget it. You get four, and I get five. Is that ok?
It's fine. I will just eat from your slots.
What are you doing? I had food from it already!
It's ok, I don't care!
But I do.
I dare you!
Wine.
This is better.
For the sake of you preparing all these,
I will just be the bigger person and forgive you.
Cheers!
I want to eat that!
These are mine! I put the food in! Your slots are over there!
You are so stingy! I want what I want!
These are mine! These are mine!
Princess! Thank god I found you.
Why are you hiding from me?
Look, I'm handsome and I am in shape.
Everything about me is right for you.
You don't want to be with me, but you are with this loser?
You calling me a loser?
Yes, I did!
Stop it! Tai Shan, look at you, how are your more handsome than him?
I just am!
I am going to beat you up, queer!
A Ruan! Are you okay?
I am so sorry!
-How are you doing? -I'm fine...
Let go of your hands!
You misunderstood us, brother.
As long as she is willing to give my stuff back,
I promise that I will never see her!
What are you talking about? I dare you to run away!
You are my slave!
Princess, I can be your slave, too.
I don't want you...
I told you many times. Why can't you listen to me?
But I really like you!
How about this! You know, being the princess's slave,
You need to answer some questions. If you pass the test,
-not only be her slave, you can marry her if you want to! -Huh?
What are you talking about?
Shush Shush...
If you can't answer them, you can never bother her again.
Ok. Lets do it!
There was a farmer who has some chicken and rabbits. One day, the farmer asked his son to count them.
The son said that there are 35 heads and 94 legs.
So how many chicken and how many rabbits are there?
35...
94....
-A rabbit has four legs! -Right, right
A chicken has two legs....
How would I figure it our?
It's easy! Hypothetically, the rabbits lift up two of their legs,
Then the amount of chicken legs and rabbit legs are the same.
70 legs in total.
But the rabbits has two legs in the air,
then 94 minus 70 is 24 legs.
Then half of 24 is 12, is the number of rabbits.
The rest 23 is the number of chichkens.
Understand?
I don't understand...
How should I explain this to you?
Or...we can have a swordfight!
Don't forget! A Ruan's future husband,
not only need to know how to fight and ride horses, but also need to know how to run a country.
You can't even run a farm, how do you run a country?
Also, you gave us your word.
You...
Li Yao, how did you not know you are this smart?
Of course!
Princess! I will never come to bother you again. Take care.
Good! Let's keep eating hot pot!
I see... the chicken and rabbit problem.
I would need to use a binary equation.
And you only needed oral calculation and mental mathmatic.
What a genius! That's great!
Lets me ask you, I did her such a huge favor,
don't I deserve to have my bangle back?
Hmmm. And then?
You had such a good sleep, princess.
I was exhausted.
It's exhausting to be pregnant.
The doctor your husband sent will be here soon.
Let him take a good look at you.
What's wrong?
Look, princess!
Why is it happening?
Don't scare me, princess! Come lay down!
What's the date today?
-The 8th. _The 8th...
It's not possible.
My period delayed before, which was also on the 8th.
No. It's not possible!
Princess, you are saying...
The doctor hasn't come to see me yet.
I am afraid that I was happy for nothing.
-Princess! _Liuli!
Your husband is back!
Quick...
Come,
the small ones goes here, the big ones goes there.
How are you feeling today? The royal doctor will be here soon.
The royal doctor?
You were in the palace today?
Yeah. I told the eldest princess
that you are pregnant.
She was really thrilled. She even felt better physically.
Look at all these stuff. She sent you them.
All kinds of supplements.
And baby clothes for boys and girls.
Look at this.
Look at this jade. A high-status monk from the west blessed this jade.
They say it's for keeping the mother and the baby safe.
It is a tribute! The whole palace only has this one.
And the rest are coming, too.
We almost don't have space for them.
Let's not have the doctor come in today.
Why?
Because...
I just don't want to be seen by a doctor.
Why?
No reason!
Ok ok! Don't get mad.
Also,
look at this baby clothes. Isn't it cute?
The eldest princess picked it herself.
What do you think?
The royal doctor you were talking about. Is he Doctor Zhang?
I don't think so. I think it's doctor Yang.
I am used to Dr. Zhang since I was a kid. I don't want to change doctor.
But Dr. Yang is almost here.
I said I don't want Dr Yang!
Ok Ok! Don't get mad!
I will do whatever you say, ok?
Right, Xiaoya, tell them that...
madam is not going to be seen!
Yes.
I am going to the find the professors
and make up a name for our child.
The baby is probably not even formed yet. What's the hurry?
You are right. I am just too happy/
Also, I heard that pregnant women have leg cramps easily.
Let me give you a leg massage.
What's wrong?
I just think it's not good to do it in front of others.
What others?
It's just a decent thing a husband should do.
Chun Feng, I want to ask you.
If, I don't have the baby,
are you still going to be this good to me?
What are you talking about?
I know,
it must be that I was drowning myself in sadness,
so I ignored your feelings.
Don't worry, it's in the past.
Us three will be very very happy together.
Is it comfortable?
That's it?
What do you think?
So I was the one thinking too much.
I thought princess of Ximing
confessed her love to you because of your intelligence.
How is that possible?
Let's finish the drink!
You are such a smart slave!
And you also know how to cook delicious food.
Also, you can't beat me. He he he...
What if...
I take you in and marry you!
You meant to let me take you in and marry you.
Then...you let me take you in and marry me.
That's not right. I should take you in, that's getting married.
Let you taking me in is getting married?
Then I will let you take me in.

-What are you thinking about? -Nothing...
Don't tell me I was right.
Of course not!
That doesn't sound right.
It was not your first time eat, drink and fight together,
why get the bangle that time?
It was my belonging. I get it back whenever I want to.
I must have misunderstood it.
It seems like Princess A Ruan marring a old ugly guy tomorrow
has nothing to do with you.
Wait, what?
Marrying whom?
What's wrong?
Is that any of your business?
None of my business. I was just curious.
You know, Princess A Ruan came to our country for marrying a royalty.
But she doesn't want a political marriage.
So tomorrow in Tian Shang Ju,
we will have a Kong Fu competition.
She will marry whoever the winner is.
She just wants me to show myself. I am not falling for that.
You are right. I don't believe it either.
It's late.
Stupid donkey is waiting for me to cook dinner. Catch you later.
-wait... -ALso!
Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you.
I am leaving. Bye!
Wait...but she...
Good day everyone!
Good day!
Welcome to Tian Shang Ju to see
the fighting competetion!
This is the main character of the day, Miss A Ruan!
Hi!
Our rule is, whoever beat her
will get to marry her.
Hereby I announce,
fighting competition now begin!
Yeah! Yeah!!!
Yes!
Yessss!
Preparing the venue: 5 ounces of silver.
Actors: 1 ounces of silver each.
Xiao Jing, I spent a fortune on your happiness.
Right,
didn't you tell me that he knows that you were lying?
If I host a fighting competition pick a husband,
and you know it's fake, would you come or not?
Maybe not.
Xiao Jing is using your name, cooking your food. How could he froget?
Also, other than A Ruan, what else did you guys talk about?
Stop being jealous.
Just be an audience.
Wooooo!
