52th episode
If my daughter is still alive
would she be as sad as you are?
Aunty, I am as good as your daughter.
Even though I call you aunty,
I always treated you as my mother.
No,
you are not my daughter.
Even though we look alike,
you don't have the same birthday.
So you don't want to talk to me because of it, aunty?
It's all Ye Jingxuan's fault. Don't belive what she said.
It must have because that she hates me!
How does it have anything to do with Jingxuan?
I knew you were born in September.
My daughter was born in June.
Xia You Shi...then it is Xia You Shi!
Nobody told me anything.
It was me who found out about it.
When you were a little kid,
I saw you celebrate your birthday for yourself in secret.
How did it happen...
Then why did you...
It's because
I treat you like my own daughter.
What a shame.
You became so evil,
because I spoiled you bad.
I am sorry, aunty.
I am really sorry this time.
Aunty, please give me one more chance.
Just one more...
It's too late.
I am not able to spoil you like I used to.
Listen,
our relationship as mother and daughter,
is finished today.
You can keep your title as the princess,
but you can't come to my funeral
using your title as a princess.
Please don't be like this.
I am really sorry.
I gave you so many chances.
But you never cherished it.
You are not my Liuli.
Your name is Zhao Di.
Aunty wake up! You haven't forgiven me yet. Wake up.
That's not true! Ever since I was little,
you would forgiven me no matter what I've done.
Wake up, aunty! I am really sorry this time!
I will really change this time. You can slap me.
Please slap me. Wake up, aunty!
Please don't ignore me, aunty.
Please don't go.
I've just gotten the new, the army from Northwest and Northeast
heard about you marring A Ruan,
so they submitted to us.
I heard Jing is very discipline when in the army.
How could he be late.
Forgive me if I say the wrong thing.
Jing came all the way here. He must came here for us.
Why did you agree to meet?
Since Father agreed on our marriage,
Jing has already lost.
Especially times like this,
we need to be the bigger person.
Also in the future, I will need him
to help me conquer Vietnam.
I sincerely respect your thinking.
Eh?
Who is playing flute?
It sounds so good!
It sounds like the song...The Partridge Sky!
Xiang Wang often play this song to the pear tree when he was at Feng Huang Tai.
Xiang Wang?!
But the song The Partridge Sky is like the Qi Xiao Tu,
was extinct from the palace.
It's a trap! Quick, arrest the person playing it!
Yes.
Who are you?
It's my fault. I let the criminal run away.
It's not necessary.
I will have people after him.
It's too late.
I hear Ms. Rong is back for the Eldest Princess's mourning.
If Father is tired of eating the food from the kitchen,
why not send her in?
No, it's fine.
Ms. Rong's cooking was my sister's favorite.
I would only be more sad if I see her.
-Did you really hear Yu Wang playing The Partridge Sky? -Not only I did,
I also saw him.
He hides the Qi Qiao Tu, and plays The Partridge Sky.
and why he won't forget Xiang Wang?
I've always thought that the way Yu Wang smiles
-looks a lot like Xiang Wang. -How dare you!
-What are you yapping about? -Your Majesty!
Please forgive us!
-Take them away! -Please let us live!
Please let us live!
Your Majesty!
-Pei De... -Your Majesty.
People have been discussing this matter a lot recently.
Eh...
I have always wanted to ask you this.
How much did this Yu Wang pay you?
Your Majesty! I don't have any personal relationship with Yu Wang.
Yu Wang did play The Partridge Sky
in the Lao Ji Yuan a couple days ago, that is why.
How dare you!
The smart ones never believe in rumors.
Please don't mind it, father.
Actually, people say thing for reasons...
What are you trying to say?
Xiang Pei De! Stop lying!
Let him talk.
Liang Ping Niang Niang was a servant at Feng Huang Tai.
And Xiang Wang lived in Feng Huang Tai after his demotion.
Ridiculous!
After Xiang Wang died, Liang Ping died, too.
I shouldn't have said that.
Liang Ping Niang Niang did visit Feng Huang Tai when she was really sick.
And she buried her belongings under the pear tree.
-Your Majesty! -Father!
The spirit is with Feng Huang Tai;
The soul is taken away by the Partridge Sky,
Qi Qiao passes the love; the shooting star sees the hatred.
Liang Ping and Xiang Wang, you two owe me big!
Please don't be mad. This simple poem
is not enough to prove that Liang Ping and Xiang Wang were having an affair.
Should I go get Liang Ping's colleague when she was a servant?
Not necessary.
I have decided what to think about it.
Yu Wang was better than most of his brothers,
but the royal blood has to be pure.
Your Majesty, Yu Wang wants to see you.
Tell him that I am tired. Send him back.
But his has been kneeling outside,
and said that he won't get up unless he sees you.
Then let him kneel.
-Pei De. -Here.
-Let's go. -Where are you going, your Majesty?
I am going to Jing Wang.
Yes.
Thank you, Jing Wang, for the idea.
That's nothing, your Excellency.
Making Yu Wang to go to Leng Qin Yuan,
and spread the rumor about Yi Wang being a bastard,
were you ideas, weren't they?
I was just adding a little timber
under the fire you started.
But this small bundle of timber,
burned off Yu Wang's future.
Father gets suspicious easily.
Yu Wang can't do anything about it.
But I have doubts.
Continue.
Yu Wang helped your Excellency before, which he even made the Eldest Princess angry.
The whole palace thought you and him are real friends.
I don't understand why your Excellency would help me.
Actually, I was not the only one gotten punished to kneel,
also my wife.
Yu Wang was not trying to help me, but my wife.
I see. I understand now.
I controlled Hui Yan border for many years,
I only understand physical conflicts from the battlefields, but not the politics.
If your Excellency have time,
would you like to enjoy the scenery of the outside border with me?
Your Excellency asked me a question just now.
I have something to ask, as well.
Please.
Yu Wang planted a spy next to the emperor, which was Jiang Gong Gong.
How did your Excellency found out about it,
and made Jiang Gong Gong betray him?
Everyone in the high places
does thing that cannot be told.
Also, Father has been suspicious of this eunuch a while ago.
He can't defending for Yu Wang,
even for the sake of his own survival.
It seems like your Excellency is better at this than I do.
-Why would you need me for things. -You..
A stab in the back and kill people without a trace,
but it's not the way to manage a country.
And it certainly can't make the people put trust in you.
Your Excellency has been fighting battles for many years.
You should know this better than I do.
I hope your Excellency do more good from now on.
I have to go.
So long.
It seems like someone is not having a bad appetite, it is a bad mood he is having.
How come you are the one making this delivery today?
Or who else? Who do you wish to see?
They are all raw. How should I eat them?
Forgot about your 9-slot hot pot?
How does one person eat hot pot?
You are keeping me company?
I am not sharing slots with you.
What are you doing? I ate here already.
It's ok, I don't care.
-No no no no no. -I want it!
What are you staring at?
I don't care. Business has been good.
We only have these. Now sign it.
Get a pen.
I am very interested, but I only know a little.
You are the most intelligent man in my heart.
Heart~
-Where is my pen? -What is it?
Eh, wrong book.
You spent time outside of the border, you should know Xi Ming wrings.
What does it say?
I knew what it says. You don't have to remind me.
A Ruan is a silly girl.
She did all kinds of stupid things for you.
She also fell into Yu Wang's trap.
She liking me is her own business. I don't like her.
Oh yes yes. You like me.
Why did you make ice cream for her then?
I treated her as a good friend.
Good friends don't share everything!
If you think ice cream is a way of remembering me,
then why did you let a third person sharing it?
I don't know. I just know that I like you.
Even though you are married, I am not going to change.
I will always be waiting for you.
Even food would expire.
If one's love doesn't get response,
how could it stay at the same place?
Think about it. Do you really don't have a spot in your heart for A Ruan?
If you missed A Ruan, you will definitely regret it.
From now on, no one will have hot pot with you.
Eh. No, you...just wait.
I can't do anything about it.
She is marring Yu Wang.
I must be very unlucky. Always lose the ones I am into.
You didn't even do anything and you blame you luck?
You can't disobey the emperor's order. I don't want to involve my older brother.
Whatever difficulty there is, everyone will get together and figure it out.
But let me tell you, you need to act fast.
Or else...
Or else what?
You know A Ruan's temper.
If she insist on not marrying, she can only...
A Ruan...
A Ruan!!!
-No! -Give it back to me.
Why are you being so silly?
-You are silly! -Killing yourself solves nothing!
If you don't want to be with Yu Wang, we will face it together.
Give it back to me.
Have you ever thought about how will I live with myself if you died?
-What? -Yes, I was a jerk before.
I did like Da Yao Yao,
but I started to like you, did you know that?
I like you, do you know that?
Let me go first, we will talk later.
No. I will be with you for the rest of my life.
-You... -I will be there
when you are happy.
If you are not, I will cook to make you happy.
Can we...talk about it later?
No, I like you.
I like you! Do you understand?
Even though you like me, you need to wait for me to get the snake poison out of me first.
I got bitten by a snake.
Be careful.
Look.
Xiao Jing.
I am afraid that I can't hold up anymore.
Xiao Jing!
You are my salve! You can't die without my permission!
Don't you remember what you said before?
Xiao Jing!
This...should've been gone by now.
It was supposed to.
But I got myself a real one.
It really hurts.
But it's ok. Doesn't it look like the one before?
You stupid.
Eh, don't look!
Xiao Jing doesn't look ok.
Looks like it.
After I died, take care of A Ruan.
Bring her back to Xi Ming.
No! If you die, I die with you.
None of you need to die.
Because he is not poisoned.
Then why do I feel dizzy,
And fatigue?
It must be that you haven't been eating these days. Of course, you would be dizzy.
It must've because of me. I going to find some food.
I am full of energy after knowing that we can be together.
Before the emperor order the marriage, let's run.
-As far as we can go! -Yes!
Wait! Look at this first.
My necklace.
Thanks to stupid donkey and Jing Wang, the emperor is having doubts with Yu Wang.
He can't be the heir now.
So the emperor made him to give this up.
Fantastic!
And the emperor didn't make A Ruan marry Jing Wang?
Maybe.
I don't care. I am leaving the capital. Come back to Xi Ming with me!
Ok. I am all yours.
Let's go. I will find some food for you. Let's go.
What to eat?
What are you doing back?
Is it weird?
I thought you are mourning for the Eldest Princess.
Since she gave me up,
I need to plan for my future.
Come in!
What's this?
I went to the orphanage. This is Su Ying. She draws.
This is Xiao Feng. He has good handwriting.
-And Qiu Lan, Shao Lin. -What does this mean?
Chun Feng, the house of Xia needs heir.
If you like, these kids can be our kids.
-Say Dad. -Dad.
Don't...
You don't like them?
If you don't like them, there are other kids.
That's not what I meant.
Kids, let's go play in the yard.
Ok.
I thought you wouldn't treat me differently when I am infertile.
Of course not.
But about having kids,
let's plan it better.
What's to plan?
I lost my kid,
and I lost Aunt.
I want to forget those unhappy memories.
Chun Feng, let's adopt some kids.
And we will be happy...
as a family.
I am not ready.
But,
I need to ask you for something.
Go ahead.
Young sir Wang Tian Wen is a good person.
But he has been sick in bed for years.
Xiao Ya became a widow the first day she married him.
She is suffering in the house of Wang. She has been serving you since you were young.
She is like your family.
If you want our family to be together.
Can we get her back?
Why do you care about her so much?
-I said it, it's because... -I don't want to hear this.
Married is Married.
What do I have to care about if she is miserable or not?
Forget it.
I knew it would be like this.
Xia Chun Feng! Why?
Why are you so cold to me?
Liuli, we've known each other for more than ten years.
But I just realized,
I don't know anything about you.
I know, because I am infertile,
and I lost Aunty's attention,
my title as a princess doesn't mean anything anymore.
That's not why I don't like you.
You are a fake princess.
I am a real limp.
How could I dislike you because of that.
The rest of our lives,
will just be it.
It's been raining for days.
The books look like they've been dunked in water.
It's finally sunny today.
Let's put these books under the sunlight. Let's go.
Yes.
Eh, be careful! Those books will be so expensive in the future.
Let's go let's go.
-Ah! -Ah
Let me let me.
Women's Moral?
It must be left here by that witch, Liu Wen Zhen.
Feudalism.
[ Name : Zhaodi ]
"Zhao Di"
"Born on September 17th... "
Since you forgave me,
then could you please give me back my stuff?
What thing?
Please give me back what Xia You Shi gave you.
It was this!
What are you doing here?
I thought you are not in very good health. Drink less.
Here, it's for you.
Don't misunderstand it. Liu Wen Zhen didn't gvie me anything.
I found it myself today.
Think about what happened between you, I believe this is what you asked for.
You thought I would believe you?
You are here to insult me.
Insulting you?
As a female villain, could you be a bit smarter?
If I want to insult you, you would be more miserable if I publicize it.
Aunty is gone now.
All of my worries are not necessary anymore.
This thing,
is just a piece of garbage to me right now.
Not everyone cares about everything about you.
Whatever.
Stop there, Ye Jing Xuan!
I just don't understand,
what did I do to you?
That you had to do me dirty like this.
Me do you dirty?
You killed my baby,
made me infertile, and caused problems between me and my husband.
And Aunty didn't forgive me at her last breath.
Stop stop stop. Do I have anything to do with any of this?
And you don't even admit it!
C'mon!
I didn't have time to react, why did you bump into me?
You know who killed your baby,
You know it.
If it wasn't for you,
I would be with brother Chun Yu a long time ago,
and I wouldn't ended up like this.
So we are going back to the past now.
Believe it or not, even without me, stupid donkey would still never like you.
Forget it. You are miserable enough.
Let's stop arguing. Take care.
Some tough advice,
you can't feel better about yourself
when you blame others.
No, I am saying, puking like this,
might not be any sickness...
You are saying...
Ah, really?
Shhh...
It's not good to be pregnant right now.
I've heard rumors, An Ping's concubine was pregnant.
An Ping's wife told people about it.
Which made the emperor angry,
so he made her abort the baby and fed her sterilization pills.
You are right. It's still the Eldest Princess's mourning period.
Being pregnant during this time is very disrespectful.
So what!
You ancient people are so barbaric!
One person dies, everyone in the whole country
can't laugh, can't play, can't wear colorful clothes, and can't even have sex for three months!
For what??
Who knows about the Eldest Princess?
Also, who really cry with sincerity?
Stop it! Even though, you are making some sense.
I am right!
Ok ok, stop talking.
I will go get Dr. Cheng. We know him well.
He will keep the secret for me.
I will not let anyone hurt you.
Or our baby.
Maybe I am not pregnant.
Don't be cocky.
What are you talking about.
Let me see. I am sure you are.
My effort didn't go to waste.
Stupid!
If they are looking for those who are being disrespectful, you shall be the first to look for.
-Let me listen. -What are you doing?
-Let me listen!
I don't like the food.
Give me a serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? I have never heard of it.
We don't have this here.
Go and find Ye Jiayao. She will definitely know.
Ye Jiaoyao?
Madam Rong?
Madam, please.
After opening the pot, the good scent flows through the entire room.
The Buddha then jumps over the wall.
The soup is thick and brownish. It's thick but not greasy.
The dense scent is intoxicating. Thoroughly cooked but not mushy.
There is an endless aftertaste.
You definitely didn't disappoint the name, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
This dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, just its ingredients, there are 17, 18 of them.
In terms of cooking technique, you have steaming, cooking, frying, sauteing, I've used all 18 methods.
After completing each of them,
you then place them inside the wine jar to simmer.
When you are simmering it, there's no aroma at all.
But once you open the lotus leaf, the whole house will have the
aroma of the the wine and meat from the pot.
Madam, Stupid Donkey hasn't even tried this dish before.
It's only you who could make me work for several hours.
I'm really exhausted.
I have already handed down the Garden Food list to you.
Young lady, can you cook a soup for me?
Okay, fine. I'm just afraid that
I may embarrass myself.
Why did you come back alone? Did you find him?
- Yes. - Where is he then?
Can I see him? Is he especially good looking?
He has already passed away.
What?
But what's fortunate is that,
I was with him at his last moments.
I traveled to the famous mountains with him
and tried all kinds of good food. I have no regrets.
Madam, my condolence.
I'm fine. I have stopped being sad.
He told me that a true love
means when two people are together, they are not afraid of being alive.
They are only afraid of dying alone.
I'm doing well now.
Let me tell you. I have also taken in
a few flower boys to be my disciples.
Seriously. Sometimes, I really envy you.
But I'm still very curious.
Why did that man leave you?
He...he is often smart and clueless too.
When we were together,
I cooked lots of nice food for him every day.
He would tell me stories every day.
It seems like we were living in a dream.
But, one day, he suddenly left.
After many years, I met him again. He told me
that the stories he told me, they came from a book.
He was afraid that I would complain that he has lost his talent. Thus, he left me.
I have a hard time looking for him for all those years.
And he was out there looking for stories.
Isn't he stupid?
Since you like him, it's definitely not because of his stories.
It must be because of who he is.
But his stories are not ordinary too.
What story?
Tell it to me, okay? Just one.
He told me that there is a kind of bird,
it doesn't need to eat and drink. It could fly very high.
Moreover, there are many people in its stomach.
It would fly non-stop every day
and transport the people from here to there.
Also, in a blink of an eye, it can travel from the North to the South.
Airplane?
