Chef Fang

Episode 34

It’s OK that you left.

But then there came Shen Yibo

who is capable

but always had fights with me.

He was really outstanding.

After the fights those years,

I even wanted to make him the Prime Minister.

However,

he felt wrong and act rashly

for a little trifle.

Then he resigned

and went back to make a family

without a word left to me.

Your Majesty,

as far as I know,

it was not a little trifle.

You know nothing.

Actually,

it’s OK that he resigned.

It’s just that

I lost someone to fight with.

I could even get a peaceful life.

But no one knows,

soon after,

my love

ran away with the chef.

Now I met another girl

who is alone with no parents.

But she is Shen Yibo’s daughter-in-law.

And she happens to be able to cook Emerald Pot.

And her name is also Yishao.

You and Fang are close friends.

Just tell me,

is Fang Yishao really my daughter?

Your Majesty,

actually…

I know.

I made the order to hunt down Fang and Yunqing.

It looked like he took away my woman.

Actually,

it was me who did that.

You knew that?

But he was also the one to blame.

He always kept telling me

how perfect Yunqing was.

And,

he even left all the most delicious food

to Yunqing every day.

So I was curious

and sneaked into the pavilion.

I didn’t know that I would fall in love with her

and I even took her into the Palace.

I was too young then

to be considerate.

They had no choice

but to elope.

It’s all my fault.

No wonder you said to hunt down them

but you didn’t sent any people in fact.

Yes.

Later,

I saw the grave of Fang and Yunqing.

Can you believe that?

I felt so guilty then

that I thought

I owed them a lot.

It’s all passed.

They have rested in peace.

Don’t worry too much.

Take care of your body.

The matter I worried the most

is about Prince Jing Man.

Your Majesty, you already knew?

He’s a real pain in the neck.

But it’s good

that someone knew it earlier than me.

Although you have become the Taoist

and got the top martial arts,

this man

is still smarter than you.

He already knew this,

To Your Majesty From Shen Yibo of Dongxiang

Your Majesty,

I know that you are worried about Crown Prince,

so I sent Yong and Yishao as the baits

to help you deal with the difficulty.

My son has been obstreperous without my guidance.

Your Majesty, please be sure to play the whole.

It can also help Yong to learn

and not live his life in vain.

I know Taoist has tried his best to help Yishao

and teach Yong knowledge and martial arts.

I’m really grateful.

Please express the appreciation for me.

Sincerely,

Shen Yibo.

Old fox Shen Yibo is really clever.

I admire it.

Jing Man really let me down this time.

Such a narrow-minded person

is not the one for doing great things.

I should give him some lessons.

That’s right.

Since you have known the situation,

There is nothing left for me.

I should keep living my leisurely life.

See you.

Stay.

I have to keep playing the play.

You can stay

to watch it for fun.

Play?

For what?

For Shen Yong.

Take care.

Take care.

Yong,

are you really going to stay?

Sure.

You will be punished for disobeying.

So what?

Jing Man hates you a lot.

Whether he will succeed or not,

he won’t let you go.

So I can’t let you go alone.

Since that,

I shouldn’t have promised him to treat her wife.

And I shouldn’t have come here.

Yong, I don’t want to be a princess.

When this is over, let’s go back to Dongxiang,

OK?

Sure.

If

we can leave here safely today,

we will go back tomorrow.

If we can’t,

I will die

together with you.

If I can’t leave here safely,

at least

I can keep your safety for now.

Your Majesty, Your Highness,

the Princess is here.

Let her in.

Your Highness, please.

Greetings, Father, Consort Zhen.

Raise.

Father, I have something important to report.

What’s it?

Go ahead.

What’s wrong?

You shouldn’t go to the banquet today.

Why?

Jing Man is going to rise in rebellion.

What?

How rude!

This is serious.

How could you make up lies?

Father, I don’t dare to lie.

Jing Man has colluded with Qin Zhong

and he will rise in rebellion on today’s banquet.

Father, please do something.

Do you have

any evidence?

No.

But I heard that…

Ridiculous!

You framed the Crown Prince for treason

with just a few words of gossip.

Do you know what a crime it is?

Please forgive her.

She just came to the Palace for not long.

She is simple and pure,

so she believed the rumors.

She is worried about your safety at least.

Yishao,

there are always many rumors in the palace.

You can listen to it.

-But don’t take it serious. -I…

Alright.

There have always been many people in the Palace with evil intentions.

I also know

that you are worried about my safety.

I won’t mind it this time.

The banquet will start in two hours.

You’d better go prepare for it now.

Don’t let me down again.

Guards!

Your Majesty.

Take Princess to the imperial kitchen.

Tell them

to be careful.

Don’t make it late.

Yes.

Princess,

please.

Hurry up!

Be quick!

Manager Zhao!

Your Highness,

please help yourself.

I’ll leave now.

I’m Zhao Fuliang. Greetings, Your Highness.

Please raise.

We have prepared the materials you need.

This way please.

They are all here.

Please help yourself.

Call me anytime if you need help.

I’ll leave now.

OK.

Yishao,

I think

I won’t want to eat the food from anyone else.

That’s OK. I’ll cook for you.

It’s hot. Be careful.

Delicious!

The vegetables are nothing special.

Greens, radishes and tofu. They are tasteless.

Yishao,

you said there is no meat,

but this is meat.

It tastes so good!

If I will become a monk,

I will take you with me.

Be careful.

Take it easy.

So great!

It tastes bad?

See?

I knew it wouldn’t taste good.

Yishao.

You’re up.

Um! It’s delicious!

Yishao,

this tastes so good!

Let’s have this again tomorrow, OK?

No matter how delicious the food is,

it will be boring

to eat it for a few days.

Besides, there are so many things I can make.

Don’t you want to try more?

Well, everything you make will be delicious.

I love them all.

Shen Yong’s Golden Grilled Fish!

Have a try!

I’ll skip it.

You, have a try.

No, thanks.

Young Master,

I’m not hungry.

How is it?

Does it taste good?

When my mother was alive, she used to say that

there are hundreds of flavors in the world,

only by tasting the five ones the most common,

sour, sweet, bitter, peppery and saline tastes

can we know the joys and sorrows of the world.

So, Yong,

no matter how long,

no matter what it's like,

I'll stay with you,

share weal and woe,

and never leave you.

You’re awake.

Where is my wife?

She should

be in the imperial kitchen,

preparing for the banquet now.

Why don’t you wake me up?

Such a silly girl.

In your tea

there are too much medicine.

Even if I woke you up,

you would still be weak without strength.

You can only sit here being worried.

Sit down first.

Listen to me.

Have some rest first.

Don't go until the medicine is all gone.

Then you can run faster,

right?

Your Highness,

they are

urging.

It’s ready.

It’s great.

Award.

Yes.

You’re dismissed.

Bring the feast here!

Kid,

have you decided?

This is the big crime of running into the Palace to resist the imperial edict!

Greetings, father.

Raise.

I prepared a feast

under your order.

Please enjoy it.

Great.

I know your cooking is good.

What did you make today

for me?

Yishao's feast.

Yishao's feast?

Bring it up now.

Yes.

Take it here.

Stop there!

I want to see the King.

His Majesty ordered that

today is for the banquet.

No admittance!

I’ve never

heard about this Yishao’s feast.

This feast

is made by the imperial chef only for His Majesty.

Of course no one has even heard about it.

-Now I see. -It’s so amazing.

Many things have changed.

It’s been

almost twenty years.

I didn’t expect

that I can have

the Yishao’s feast again in my life.

This Yishao’s feast

is a copy as what you described.

Please have a try if you like it.

If it’s not good,

please forgive me.

Great.

It still tastes like before.

Your cooking is superb,

Even comparable to Yi Yin.

Yi Yin is the ancestor of chefs.

You flattered me.

I don’t deserve it.

Have a seat.

Here, this.

Dear,

try this feast as well.

This is my favorite.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Give my order.

Let the Crown Prince and everyone else

try this feast as well.

Yes.

Enjoy the feast!

Your Majesty,

I will make a toast.

Why is the Prince Consort not here?

Is he also sent to work now?

Why are you caring about my husband suddenly?

I always saw you together before.

But I only see you alone today.

So I’m curious.

I thought

you have something important for him.

Prince and princess are talking lively.

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

Let me join you.

Today,

I wanted to have a drink with brother

and the Prince Consort.

It’s a pity that it’s not possible.

Father, cheers.

Your Majesty,

you can’t take his toast.

Why?

He proposed the toast to you after he couldn’t find them.

I’m afraid

this is not right.

You are making sense.

Man,

you should take the penalty.

I was being confused.

Please forgive me.

I will take three.

Your Highness…

Today, I invite you to have a feast here

for a good news.

You all know that

I found my princess back after eighteen years.

I’m really happy.

So I decided to

confer Yishao the title of Princess officially

in the conferring ceremony three days later.

Gentlemen,

what do you think?

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

Princess,

show your appreciation.

Wait.

I think

her background is unknown. We should stay careful.

It's not enough to convince

that she is Consort Qin's daughter

just by virtue of an Emerald Pot.

And we don’t know

whether she has the royal bloodlines.

So, father, please think it over.

Then what do you think is appropriate?

Paternity test.

Crown Prince is making sense.

Then how do you want to do it?

There have been only two ways since ancient times.

Blood test, or bone test.

Since Consort Qin has passed away for years.

We can take her skeleton here to test.

No!

My mother was already buried.

How could you disturb her only for this?

Why are you doing this?

Did I finish my words?

You look worried now. Do you have any secrets?

You…

Actually,

it doesn’t matter whether she was born

by Consort Qin.

The important thing

is whether she is related to father

and whether she is one of us.

So,

I’m here to beg father

to use the blood test

to prove Princess’s identity.

Blood test?

Crown Prince is right.

It makes sense.

It’s about royal bloodlines. We should be careful.

That’s right.

That’s about the royal family.

Yes.

I think Crown Prince is making sense.

It’s about royal bloodlines. We should test it.

Please allow Crown Prince to do the test.

Please allow it, Your Majesty.

Fine.

Kid, go now. They are doing blood test.

Princess, please.

What? You’re afraid?

Your Majesty.

Yong,

are you OK?

Prince Consort, you came just in time.

Of course.

Or should I wait

until you bully

my wife?

It will be too late.

Don’t get mad.

I just want to prove Princess’s identity.

We’re not bullying her.

Old man.

How dare you be so rude to His Majesty?

Blood test? Seriously?

You asked my wife to call you father.

And now

all of you are doing the blood test?

Old man,

are you becoming too bored

after staying here for long?

This is about royal bloodlines.

Of course we should be careful.

Moreover,

if she is really related to father,

from now on,

she can prove herself.

There won’t be any rumors.

If she is not?

Are you going to accuse my wife

of cheating the King?

And I still need to ask you,

did any one

of you

ever ask my wife

if she is relate to the King?

You took her here

to become the Princess without any reason.

My wife doesn’t even get the chance to refuse.

And now you are checking her identity?

Isn’t this ridiculous?

What if

I want to do the test?

You disobeyed my order,

and rushed into the palace.

And now you are still disobeying my decision.

Shen Yong,

how many lives do you have

for me to kill?
