00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,400
Episode 16

2
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,880
I heard you have settled
the people in Jiangsu,

3
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,360
is that so, Crown Prince?

4
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Father.

5
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,640
The people in Jiangsu
no longer wish to rebel.

6
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,960
They're living in peace.

7
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Tell me.

8
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,520
How did you do it?

9
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,240
I sent a few men to scout the area.

10
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,040
They found that the officials
weren't in their rightful position

11
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,480
and the landowners oppressed the locals.

12
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,160
The officials were bribed
and they couldn't be intimidated,

13
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,200
so I had them submit to the law.

14
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,480
Your Majesty.

15
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
The officials and landowners in Jiangsu
cunningly protect each other.

16
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,760
They wouldn't confess
unless there's evidence.

17
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,520
I wonder if His Highness
possesses such evidence.

18
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Or does he not?

19
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Father.

20
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,040
The Crown Prince doesn't need evidence

21
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,600
as he has already settled the matter.

22
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,120
The reason why the people
in Jiangsu rebelled

23
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,000
was the immense power of landowners.

24
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,720
They took hold of a large amount of land

25
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,080
and behaved willfully
in front of the people.

26
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,040
Even the local officials
didn't treat their people well.

27
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,800
They stood still
and watched the people suffer.

28
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,480
They even destroyed the evidence

29
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,560
because they were bribed
by the landowners.

30
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,560
The Crown Prince ordered me

31
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,640
to relocate the landlords

32
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240
and wealthy people in Jiangsu
near the Imperial Palace.

33
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,840
Then we made them become workers
to build the surrounding walls.

34
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,160
The wealthy people had been expelled.

35
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,720
So naturally,
the people aren't bullied anymore.

36
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640
Thus, that's the end
of the rebellious movement.

37
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,640
So what about the officials
who didn't do their jobs?

38
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,520
They abandoned their positions,

39
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,280
so I sentenced them to work
as farmers, like their people.

40
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,480
On the surface,
this was meant to help the people.

41
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,400
But after some time,

42
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,800
those pampered officials confessed
their crimes.

43
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,680
They returned the bribe
and the money to the people.

44
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Those who took the bribe
and bullied the people

45
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,080
have all been punished.

46
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,240
No absolution was given.

47
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,160
-Not bad.
-Prince Jin did a good job.

48
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Good work, Prince Jin.

49
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Father.

50
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,840
I only followed
Crown Prince's instructions.

51
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,520
His highness is the man
behind this, not me.

52
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,600
Your Majesty.

53
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,720
I heard that recently,

54
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400
the Crown Prince dwelled in his palace,
drank alcohol all day,

55
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,280
and left everything
to be executed by Prince Jin.

56
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,920
I'm afraid that...

57
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:56,840
Brothers should stick together.

58
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,520
The Crown Prince makes the plan
for it to be executed by Prince Jin.

59
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
What's so wrong with that?

60
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Well...

61
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040
I have my own judgments.

62
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Prince Jin,
stay a few more days in the palace.

63
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,720
You can use this time to fulfill
your filial duty towards your mother.

64
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,480
Thank you, Father.

65
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,800
-Your Highness!
-Shoukui!

66
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000
-Your Highness!
-Your Highness!

67
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,200
Call the Imperial Physician!

68
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,120
-Someone, call the Imperial Physician!
-Shoukui!

69
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,360
Your Highness.

70
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,280
Shoukui!

71
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,840
Don't move.

72
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:42,720
Be careful.

73
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,160
What's wrong?

74
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Did you have a nightmare?

75
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,120
I dreamt that my old friend was sick.

76
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,880
What kind of old friend

77
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,960
makes you worry so much
both in reality and dreams?

78
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,880
If I were him,
I would be content every single day.

79
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,640
Xiaoxiao,

80
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,640
now that you're here,

81
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,400
you shouldn't look back.

82
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,920
You should look ahead,
meet new people, and accept them.

83
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320
Only then can you truly forget
about the past.

84
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,560
It has been over a year
since I opened Xiaoxiao Delicacy Hostel.

85
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,120
I've been trying to move forward.

86
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,640
But...

87
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,320
I don't want to forget the past either.

88
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,360
I'm hungry. Waiter!

89
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,400
-Yes, Xiaoxiao?
-Is there any food?

90
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Yes, in the kitchen. I'll get it for you.

91
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Your Majesty.

92
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,720
Your Majesty.

93
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Please forgive me
as there's nothing I can do.

94
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,200
What on earth is going on?

95
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,160
Well...

96
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,960
His Highness has been having headaches
for over six months.

97
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,760
I have been trying to heal him.

98
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120
But there is no cure for headaches.

99
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,200
The episode of headaches is unpredictable.

100
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,200
There is no way to prevent it.

101
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,760
I believe His Highness suffered
another episode of headaches today.

102
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,240
The malice of wind
has taken over his brain.

103
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,920
Is there a way to cure him?

104
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080
I have never seen such an illness.

105
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,960
Therefore, I have no way to cure him.

106
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,040
-Get out!
-Yes, Your Majesty.

107
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,080
Kui'er.

108
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,320
Kui'er.

109
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Kui'er.

110
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,720
Kui'er.

111
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,960
-Zheng Li.
-Your Majesty.

112
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Take good care of him.

113
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Don't disturb him no matter what.

114
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,440
I will have people
bring in prestigious physicians

115
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,760
from all over the nation.

116
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Yes, Your Majesty.

117
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:42,520
Prince Jin.

118
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Come with me.

119
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Please take care of yourself,
Your Majesty.

120
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,000
I'm sure Shoukui will be fine.

121
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,240
You can all go.

122
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,040
I want some alone time with my son.

123
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Your Highness, have some medicine.

124
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,880
You'll feel better.

125
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Your Highness.

126
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,560
You're here again.

127
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Shoukui, just have one sip.

128
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,080
Don't waste the medicine.

129
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,720
I only have a few more days anyway.

130
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,640
That's nonsense.

131
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,040
You will recover.

132
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,000
No one knows my body better than myself.

133
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,240
Shoukui.

134
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,760
You always like to say things
that break others' hearts.

135
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,920
You...

136
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,120
You're always such a crybaby.

137
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,160
So many years have gone by

138
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,160
and you haven't changed one bit.

139
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,400
I'm not crying.

140
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,680
My eyes are unwell.

141
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,440
Take care of my mother for me

142
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,280
and everyone in Delicacy Kitchen.

143
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,440
As well as Zheng Li.

144
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,240
You have to treat him well.

145
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,520
You're the most capable

146
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,040
and talented.

147
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,200
I believe in you.

148
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,720
I'm not taking care of everyone for you.

149
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,640
If you're worried,

150
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,600
you need to live
and take care of them yourself.

151
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,320
Your Highness!

152
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,080
Your Highness!

153
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Your Highness!

154
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,320
Hey!

155
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,000
You're back, Xiaoxiao.

156
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,400
What's the matter?

157
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,680
Well...

158
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,640
It looks like
we will be taking a few days off.

159
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,400
I just got news from the palace

160
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,520
that the Crown Prince has passed away.

161
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,920
We can't have feasts
or do business for 15 days.

162
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Who did you say?

163
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,920
The Crown Prince has passed away.

164
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,120
<i>It smells good.</i>

165
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,680
I've seen you eat this often,

166
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,480
but this is my first time trying it.

167
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,600
This is my favorite food.

168
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,080
When I was hungry
at my aunt's place back then,

169
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,760
I could only fill my stomach with this.

170
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,680
I ate it for so many years,

171
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,960
but I still love it.

172
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,560
I'll eat this with you from now on.

173
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Let's stop eating.

174
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,400
All right?

175
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Xiaoxiao!

176
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,480
Xiaoxiao, can you stop?

177
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Just tell me what's wrong?

178
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720
You know nothing! I like potatoes!

179
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,640
You're not hungry at all!

180
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,000
I am...

181
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,360
I am...

182
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,680
I like potatoes, all right?

183
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,240
I am hungry!

184
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,280
Xiaoxiao, let's stop, all right?

185
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,200
Xiaoxiao Delicacy Hostel

186
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,960
Hey.

187
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Sir, are you here for alcohol?

188
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,760
Is that the only thing I can buy here?

189
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,520
Actually,

190
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,880
our chef is feeling
under the weather these days.

191
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000
No one is cooking in the kitchen,
so we only sell alcohol for now.

192
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,720
Feeling under the weather?

193
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,880
Yes, we don't know why either.

194
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,120
Please forgive us.

195
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,200
No problem.

196
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,200
-I'll come next time.
-Sure.

197
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,400
Have a good day, sir.

198
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Songbai! You're finally here.

199
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,880
Xiaoxiao hasn't been
talking much these days.

200
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,320
You're the only one that can make her eat.

201
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,080
The sooner you help her get better,
the sooner we can relax.

202
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,320
Come.

203
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Xiaoxiao, Songbai is here to see you.

204
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,920
Xiaoxiao?

205
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Xiaoxiao?

206
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,240
Have some, Xiaoxiao.

207
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,640
Excuse me,
is this Xiaoxiao Delicacy Hostel?

208
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,560
What are you doing? I'm here for a meal.

209
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Not bad.

210
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,000
I thought you wouldn't recognize me.

211
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,360
Don't cry, all right?

212
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,800
I'm sorry.

213
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,480
I'm late.

214
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,440
I'm here now, aren't I?

215
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,120
No. I'm not letting you go.

216
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,360
All right, now.

217
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,760
<i>Ling Xiaoxiao.</i>

218
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,040
Do you expect me to eat this junk?

219
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,640
Your Highness must eat whatever I make

220
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,200
and can't be picky or wasteful.

221
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,520
Your Highness said so yourself.

222
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,080
Was Your Highness just bluffing
like ordinary people?

223
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,000
You...

224
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,520
Your Highness.

225
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,760
Are you seriously passing
your title to Prince Jin?

226
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,600
Prince Jin is capable and has good morals.

227
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,560
He has always been a better fit
for Crown Prince than me.

228
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:38,880
What about me?

229
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,560
Your Highness...

230
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,720
I've been serving you since I was little.

231
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,160
I just can't see you go.

232
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,000
Wake up.

233
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,120
I know you're faking it.

234
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,920
I raised you myself.

235
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,480
I know you

236
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:15,480
better than yourself.

237
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,400
Stop trying to trick me.

238
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,160
Mother.

239
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,760
You silly boy.

240
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,680
Tell me the truth.

241
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Are you doing this

242
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,920
in order to see Ling Xiaoxiao?

243
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,920
Mother.

244
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,600
I couldn't think of any other way.

245
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,520
That's why I'm doing this.

246
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,520
Is she that important to you?

247
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:51,760
Yes.

248
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,600
I have never met someone like her.

249
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,720
In front of her,
I didn't have to hide my shortcomings.

250
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,840
She didn't disdain them.
Instead, she found them endearing.

251
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,720
I've been the Crown Prince
for more than a decade

252
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,640
and I had never been at peace.

253
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,120
It was until she came along,

254
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,760
that I felt like myself.

255
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,640
Are you forsaking me, then?

256
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,640
Goodness.

257
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:30,880
Fine.

258
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,440
I give you my consent.

259
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Mother.

260
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,960
Silly boy.

261
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Ever since you were little,

262
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
we made you learn this and that.

263
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,600
But...

264
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,400
We've never asked for your consent.

265
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,880
We only cared about our wishes

266
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,760
and put so much pressure on you.

267
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,520
And we've never asked you

268
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,760
whether you're satisfied with us or not.

269
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:20,800
I've said it.

270
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,040
This time, you can do whatever you want.

271
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,120
All right?

272
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,280
You...

273
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,440
Thank you for letting me go, Mother.

274
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,880
Son...

275
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,200
Stand up, quickly.

276
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,400
I couldn't fulfill my duty to you.

277
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,800
Mother...

278
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:12,920
Stand up.

279
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,560
Don't cry now, all right?

280
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,760
It's all right.

281
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,320
It's all right.

282
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,160
I'm sorry.

283
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,280
I'm sorry, Mother.

284
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,480
I can only be happy
when you're happy, my silly boy.

285
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,360
It's all right now.

286
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,320
I'm sorry for doing this to you.

287
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,280
I can't believe
you've done so much for me.

288
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,880
Of course I have to.

289
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,920
But it comes with a catch.

290
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,680
What catch?

291
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,720
I want a son and a daughter.

292
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:05,280
You wish!

293
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,480
I'm a part of your family now.

294
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,080
You have to be responsible to me.

295
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,920
I will.

296
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,320
I will be responsible to you. Don't worry.

297
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,360
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.

298
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,120
<i>He left to find Ling Xiaoxiao.</i>

299
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,040
I've stood by him for over a decade.

300
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:25,600
But I've never seen him
so crazy for a woman.

301
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,240
Before Ling Xiaoxiao,

302
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,120
His Highness never really knew
what he wanted in life.

303
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,520
I watched you three grow up together.

304
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,480
I'm sure both of Your Highness know

305
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,800
what kind of person he is.

306
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,760
Do you want to rest
and have some sunflower seeds?

307
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,720
Yes.

308
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Here.

309
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,200
Open your mouth.

310
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,440
My goodness, your father is here.

311
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,720
My goodness.

312
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,320
Are you a boy or a girl?

313
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,080
Your mother is suffering because of you.

314
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,800
Come out now

315
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,160
and let your mother have some peace.

316
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,800
Hey!

317
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,200
Where's that lazy man?

318
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,560
Well...

319
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,120
Zhu Shoukui!

320
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,680
What do you want?

321
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,880
Have you washed the dishes?

322
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,200
I have! Take a look!

323
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,400
Hey!

324
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,320
-Ling Xiaoxiao! What's that for?
-The kitchen is unbelievably busy!

325
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,400
While you're here...

326
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,600
-Speak nicely. Don't get physical.
-While you're here...

327
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,760
Your food is too delicious
that customers keep coming.

328
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,280
I can't wash all those dishes myself.

329
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,480
Hire someone to help me out.

330
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,320
If you don't,
then you'll have to have my babies.

331
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Have your babies?
You can't even wash the dishes.

332
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,480
I'm telling you.
My babies will learn cooking from me,

333
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,320
instead of being
a poor dishwasher like you.

334
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,760
I want to learn cooking as well.
I don't want to wash dishes.

335
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,360
How can you learn cooking
when you can't even wash the dishes?

336
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,320
Come here.
Where do you think you're going?

337
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,720
Let me tell you!

338
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,920
If you don't wash them,
you can forget about eating my food.

339
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,200
I am the...

340
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,520
What?

341
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,480
Yes?

342
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,280
I am a man.

343
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,680
Who's washing dishes here?

344
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Does that make sense?

345
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,800
Why? Are you regretting it?

346
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,680
Of course...

347
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,320
Of course not.

348
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,440
I love washing dishes.

349
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,280
I love doing it every day.

350
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,880
I'll do it now. Just watch.

351
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120
No matter how in love we are,

352
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,120
the daily trivialities
have finally beaten us.

353
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,920
Zhu Shoukui.

354
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,160
- I see that you're not busy at all.
-No, I am.

355
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,040
And you have time to be emotional?

356
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,600
No, I've been washing dishes.
I love doing it. I am doing it.

357
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:44,880
Hey!

358
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,640
Xiaoxiao!

359
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,120
You have to come to the front.

360
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,680
A customer is here to stir up trouble.

361
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280
I'll like to see who dares
to do that in my place!

362
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Sit down and wash your dishes.

363
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,920
Fine. I love doing it.

364
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,480
I'll do it every day.

365
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,760
I'll feel sick if I don't.

366
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,560
I have to do it all the time, I...

367
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:11,840
He's there.

368
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Xiaoxiao, that's him.

369
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,360
It has been a while, Imperial Chef Ling.

370
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,400
Wait, no. It's Chef Ling.

371
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,280
What are you doing here?

372
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,160
I'm here for a good cause, of course.

373
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,200
But first, I have to taste your cooking

374
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,800
and then decide whether to tell you
why I've come here or not.

375
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,120
What have you come for?

376
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Didn't I just tell you?

377
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,320
I have to taste the food first.

378
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,360
So what do you want?

379
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,800
I heard that you can make

380
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,800
all kinds of regional dishes here.

381
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,600
Yes, sir.

382
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,120
If we can hang four lanterns
on the front gate,

383
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,520
it means we can make
all four Chinese regional dishes.

384
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,800
You name it and we can make it.

385
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,040
Good.

386
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,000
I'll have only one,

387
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,880
but with three different ingredients
and three distinct flavors.

388
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,960
Can you do it?

389
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,840
You're intentionally trying to ruin us.

390
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,360
You could have everything, yet you want
one with three different flavors?

391
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Xiaoxiao, he's doing this on purpose.

392
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Why? Is it too hard?

393
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,160
Forget it.

394
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,600
The lanterns are indeed quite delicate.

395
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,400
It's fine if you can't cook it,

396
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,960
just let me take one of the lanterns.

397
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:30,880
You...

398
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,600
Are you really here
to make it difficult for me?

399
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,240
You once used tricks to defeat me.

400
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,200
Didn't we agree to have another go?

401
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,200
I promised we would compete again,

402
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,240
but I have to see
if you're qualified or not.

403
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880
All right. Give me some time.

404
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,280
Three Piece Chicken

405
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,720
Xiaoxiao has done it.

406
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Sir, please carefully
and mindfully taste it.

407
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,560
It's just a chicken.

408
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,120
How is it three flavors?

409
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,080
-That's right.
-Ling Xiaoxiao, you've lost.

410
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:16,000
There's another chicken inside!

411
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,640
-Three kinds of meat?
-That's phenomenal!

412
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,680
-It smells so good.
-Look!

413
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,520
-How tender!
-Hey!

414
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,840
There are three kinds of meat!

415
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,800
-It's true!
-It smells good!

416
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,280
How come there's another chicken inside?

417
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,000
I've never seen anything like this.

418
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,240
-This place is quite nice.
-I've never seen that before.

419
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,480
It looks delicious.

420
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,760
<i>A spring chicken inside a hen.</i>

421
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,480
<i>A dove inside the spring chicken.</i>

422
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,520
<i>Each layer has different flavor</i>

423
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,000
<i>and different texture,</i>

424
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,200
<i>made by three distinct ingredients.</i>

425
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,920
<i>The flavors intertwine perfectly.</i>

426
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,400
-So?
-That's nice.

427
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,160
How is it? Is it good?

428
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,200
How is the texture?

429
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,040
Is it tasty?

430
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:23,120
It's not bad.

431
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,360
It looks like it was not just luck
that helped you defeat me.

432
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,640
It's time we have a true battle.

433
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,000
What's the matter?

434
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,320
Do you like cooking now, Chef Lu?

435
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,760
Out of all the competitions I had won,

436
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,480
the only time I lost was to you.

437
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,880
Of course, it would be hard
for me to get over it.

438
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,760
Are you up for it?

439
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,040
Whatever you want.

440
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,760
Why are you still here?

441
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,960
My arms almost fell off
from washing all those dishes.

442
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,720
I feel like this is more tiresome
than practicing martial arts.

443
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,680
Ling Xiaoxiao.

444
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,480
Ling Xiaoxiao!

445
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,760
Yes?

446
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,600
Did you hear what I said?

447
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,600
I was thinking about cooking.

448
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,800
What did you say?

449
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,240
I was saying,
you've been busy the whole day.

450
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:39,560
It's time you take some rest.

451
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,240
Didn't you say your arms are sore?

452
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,360
Did I say that?

453
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Hey?

454
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,320
Didn't you say you heard nothing?

455
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,720
Xiaoxiao Delicacy Hostel

456
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:08,120
Where's Ling Xiaoxiao?

457
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,560
Well...

458
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:16,840
Master.

459
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,840
Xiaoxiao left you a letter
before she set off for a journey.

460
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:25,800
Master!

461
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,360
Letters are giving me trauma.

462
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:39,920
<i>Zhu Shoukui.</i>

463
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,840
<i>I should be telling you this in person.</i>

464
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,520
<i>I'm sorry to start a letter
like this once again.</i>

465
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:48,040
<i>Lu Yunzhou came to see me.</i>

466
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:49,320
<i>Six months from now,</i>

467
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,040
<i>there will be
an annual cooking contest in Jiangnan.</i>

468
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680
<i>I have never wanted a title.</i>

469
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,960
<i>But as you know it,</i>

470
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,920
<i>there has to be a winner
between him and I.</i>

471
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,120
<i>Forgive me for leaving
without saying goodbye again.</i>

472
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,200
<i>This time, you don't have to come for me.</i>

473
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,960
<i>As soon as the contest is over,
I'll come right back for you.</i>

474
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,440
<i>Love, Xiaoxiao.</i>

475
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,120
Xiaoxiao,

476
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,640
I gave up everything for you

477
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,240
-and you ran off with other men.
-Master!

478
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,360
-Master!
-Hey!

479
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,560
-What are you doing?
-Stop it!

480
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,400
-She's only away for a contest.
-Let me go!

481
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,920
Is Lu Yunzhou a man?

482
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,600
Is he?

483
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,200
-I think...
-I think so.

484
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,280
-Then hasn't she run off with him?
-Come on.

485
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,560
She couldn't have eloped with other men.

486
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,280
-Master!
-Master!

487
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,160
Get lost!

488
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,200
<i>Delicacies Destiny</i>

489
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,800
<i>Delicacies Destiny</i>

490
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:06,360
<i>Delicacies Destiny</i>

491
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,240
Your Majesty.

492
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,160
You should go see her.

493
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:24,040
Her Majesty is doing that thing once more.

494
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,600
<i>Delicacies Destiny</i>

00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Belvedere of Embodying Benevolence

496
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,000
Your Majesty, this place is full
of smoke and oil stains.

497
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,280
We should go back.

498
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,720
His Majesty is here.

499
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,760
Why are you here again?

500
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,520
Have you ever regretted it?

501
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,080
In that case,

502
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,120
don't waste my son's time anymore.

503
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,440
If you want to stay,

504
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,360
set your mind
to become the Crown Princess.

505
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,120
If you don't want to be
the Crown Princess,

506
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,560
then stay away from him
as far as possible.

507
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,520
Stop hesitating and cling on to him
if you've already made your decision.

508
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,600
I only have one son.

509
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,880
He can't take this torture from you.

510
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,400
Yes.

511
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,440
So what is your choice?

512
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,400
I choose him.
