[The Blooms at RUYI Pavilion]

[Episode 1]

[Fu Rong, second daughter of Hengjing County Magistrate of Dayu]

My fish, my fish

I want my fish back

Sister,

I thought you said you're good at flying kites,

[Fu Guan, son of Hengjing County Magistrate of Dayu]

and you could let it soar above the skies?

Has your teacher taught you about Mencius?

Whenever Heaven invests a person with great responsibilities,

it first exercises his mind with suffering

Do you understand?

What he means is...

if a kite wants to soar above the skies,

it first has to overcome some obstacles

For example

being stuck on the branches

I will buy you a better kite, alright?

I don't want a better one,

I only like the one I have

Great

As expected from the man of our family

Loyal

Wait for me

Sister, keep going

Sister, watch out

Fu Rong, what are you doing?

[Fu Pin Yan, Hengjing County Magistrate of Dayu]

Rong'er

Sister

-Somebody, help -Sister

Miss, miss

-Somebody, help -Miss

Rong'er

Rong'er

Rong'er, you're awake

Mother?

-Fu Xuan? -Rong'er

Guan Ge

Easy there

What are you guys doing in my room?

Look who's talking

Were you trying to show off?

You climbed so high to bring down the kite for Guan Ge

You fell straight from the tree...

and was unconscious for a day

[Fu Xuan, eldest daughter of Hengjing County Magistrate of Dayu]

My hand

It's fine

Don't worry

The doctor said it's just a scratch

But somehow,

you just wouldn't come around

You terrified me

Bao Zhu, tell Master that Rong'er has come round

She's fine Tell him not to take the day off

[Bao Zhu, maidservant of Fu Xuan] [Lan Xiang, maidservant of Fu Rong]

Yes, madam

Lan Xiang, get a doctor to examine her

Yes, madam

Mother

I'm hungry

[Fu Residence]

-Drink the soup -Okay

You're the best, Mother You even made chicken soup

It's not for you

It's for your father

These days,

he's been working overnight,

returning only in the morning

He's worn out

What's keeping you so busy?

Is it related to Mr Ju Shui and the Yuedan Commentary?

Yes

During the Yuedan Commentary,

the places near Ju Shui Pavilion...

will be packed...

and overcrowded

I pray to Buddha everything will be okay

-[Yuedan Commentary at Ju Shui Pavilion?] -Let's eat

[Why do I get this unsettling feeling?]

[What if]

Nong Nong,

it's going to rain

-Go inside -Madam

Don't get wet

I'm an adult now Why do you still call me by my pet name?

In my heart,

you're a child who never grows up

Weren't you pestering me...

to sew you a pair of shoes?

They're done

Mother, you're the best

Who should I pamper if not you?

Open and take a look

Your name...

rhymes with lotus,

so...

I sewed lotus on them

Star Tower?

Why was it struck by lightning?

All of you get inside the house now

But dear, I

Dear,

I need to go to the magistrate's office

Dear, I'll help you get changed

Rong'er

Rong'er, let's go inside

Don't get wet

Fu Xuan,

why would Star Tower get struck by lightning?

Has this ever happened before?

The Star Tower was built when the founding emperor was still alive

You're right

In the past hundred years,

nothing like this has ever happened before

You know,

I went to Star Tower two days ago

Lo and behold it was struck by lightning

It's just a coincidence

Coincidence?

You ought to stop thinking too much

Come

Have a good night's sleep

I will stay by your side

Why? Are you holding me because you're scared?

Everything's fine

Wake up,

Rong'er

What's the matter?

Did you have a nightmare again?

It's all right

-Fu Xuan -What's the matter?

During the last Lantern Festival,

there was a lantern watching event in Wu City

It was overcrowded...

and countless lives were lost

The county magistrate was put into jail, wasn't he?

You're right

What's wrong? Why did you ask about this?

Rong'er

Oh, no Not the Yuedan Commentary

Rong'er

What if

Better be safe than sorry

Rong'er

Fu Xuan,

since you're so taken with Farmer Ju Shui,

could you get invitations to the Yuedan Commentary?

Why?

You've never shown any interest in those romantic scholars

You said that they're all wearing masks,

and they're all up to no good

Why would you want to attend the Yuedan Commentary?

I

I just want to go

It's never easy to get an invitation

If I could get it,

I would've gone there myself

[Duke Su's Residence]

It's such a serious injury

Anyone else...

would've been dead by now

You're lucky, Your Highness

It's only been a month,

and you've almost fully recovered

[Xu Jin, Duke Su, the fourth prince of Dayu]

It's beyond the ability of a normal human being

Mr Ge, why don't you just cut to the chase...

and say that it's due to your remarkable medical skills...

that I could recover so quickly

It wouldn't work without your ability

[Ge Chuan, apothecary]

Not a chance

[Xu Jia, personal guard of Duke Su]

Your Highness

[Yuedan Commentary at Ju Shui Pavilion]

Yuedan Commentary at Ju Shui Pavilion?

Ju Shui Pavilion?

Your Highness, you've not fully recovered yet

Why not...

let Mr Xu inquire about it first?

I can hide for a while,

but can I hide forever?

Mr Ju Shui

[Ju Shui Pavilion]

-Ju Shui, Ju Shui, my one and only -Let's go

Go away

I live at the head of Qing River,

-you live at the end -No trespassing

-Long to see you, drink from the river -Go to the event if you like Mr Ju Shui

I don't think we can get in

What are you doing here?

I'm from Shanhe Art Studio

A few days ago, Mr Ju Shui reserved some paintings

Here they are, all wrapped up

Shanhe Art Studio?

[Wen Xing, personal guard of Mr Ju Shui]

-Mr Wen -Mr Wen

I guess you are right

Just leave them with me

I will pass them to Mr Ju Shui

You can leave now

Thank you, mister

Let's go

Guard the doors properly

Don't let this kind of person in again

Yes, mister

[Miraculous fortune telling]

Mr Ju Shui

Mr Ju Shui

Mr Ju Shui

Mr Ju Shui

Mr Ju Shui

Mister, you have an extraordinary aura

What do you wish to know?

When will I die?

Why?

I once dreamt that I would die in an accident

Sure

Let me read your palm

The three main lines on your palm are clear

You'll be blessed with wealth and be conferred a noble rank

Mr Ju Shui

You can't go

You haven't finished yet

You will live a long life and turn calamities into blessings

Mister,

I am a fortune teller

Judging by your appearance,

you might get murdered

Is that so?

And the cause of the incident...

is a grand event held by your master

Let me perform a ritual there and everything will be okay

What if...

I turn you down?

Well then, I can only

Who's that?

Who?

Who's there?

You again

Excuse me

Excuse me

What is happening?

Don't run

-Stop -Stop

Mr Ju Shui

It's a misunderstanding

It's all a misunderstanding

Take her back

I will interrogate her

Mr Ju Shui

Get her

Is there a cure for the poison?

Poison?

What poison?

That's my new fragrant powder

Excuse me

Mister,

I don't even know your name yet

Thank you for helping me

I have to thank you

You said I will live a long life

I returned your favour by saving your life

It's you

Till we meet again

No, no

Since you've come this far,

now that I can't see anything,

can you take me to the stream?

Then, tell me

What's your intention...

of disguising as a fortune teller...

and hiding outside Ju Shui Pavilion?

I admire Mr Ju Shui

I couldn't get any invitation,

so that was my only way out

I heard Mr Ju Shui is a charming man

If I get to see him,

I will die without regret

You're still here, right?

I'm leaving

That hurts

Wait, what are you doing?

Miraculous fortune teller, then do you know...

when you will die?

Mister,

you ought to calm down

Calm down

If you dare turn around,

today will be the day you die

No

I will never turn around. I won't open my eyes

I've never seen your face since the beginning

I held you just to...

tell you...

to stay away from Ju Shui Pavilion

Why?

Although I'm a fake fortune teller,

I've learned some fortune-telling skills

There will be a disaster soon

You're a skilful fighter,

but it's better to stay out of it

Until I leave,

do not open your eyes

I won't

Mister,

you've saved my life

I won't mind even if you cut my arm off

But I just hope...

that you will spare my life

How was it?

There are traces...

that Ju Shui Pavilion had been tampered with

Your Highness,

who might be the target...

of this conspiracy?

Aren't I also on the guest list?

Your Highness is the target?

Then, the Month Commentary...

should be avoided

I'll go

Not only that,

I will make a grand appearance

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Get your flowers

Take a look Come take a look

Ju Shui's review?

Yuan,

you seem to admire Farmer Ju Shui more than my sister does

[Gu Yuan, servant at Ruyi Pavilion]

Miss, are you here to see the master?

She's upstairs

Enjoy yourself

[Liu Ru Yi, owner of Ruyi Pavilion]

Rong'er

Have a cup of tea

How did you know it's me?

Why wouldn't I?

Why are you dressed like this?

I heard...

Farmer Ju Shui's Yuedan Commentary is really famous

I just want to join in the fun

Could you get an invitation for me?

Why have you become...

Farmer Ju Shui's admirer, just like Yuan?

No, I'm not

I'm just curious...

about Mr Ju Shui who's admired by thousands

Master, you have to help me

But I have one condition

Ms Fu Xuan has always been reliable

You need to go with her

I will

Why hasn't Mr Ju Shui come out yet?

I've been waiting forever for him

-Look. -Fu Xuan, you look great

What is taking Mr Ju Shui so long?

[Qi Ce, prosecutor, Criminal Investigation Bureau]

Xuan

-Rong -Brother Qi

What a small world

The staff gave me an invitation to see Farmer Ju Shui

Today is my off day I have some free time, so I came to see

Had I known you were interested,

then...

I would've invited you along

Nothing wrong with a chance encounter

Since you're here, just join us

Sure,

I'd be glad to

Xuan,

what do you think of the concept of this painting?

It seems to be real yet vague

It appears to be empty,

yet the undercurrent is surging

It looks just like a fairyland

Rong'er,

what do you think?

Rong'er?

Xuan,

when Rong'er was speaking, you were captivated by the painting

-I guess you didn't hear her -Where did she go?

She said this is her first time here

She's curious,

so she'll walk around

Don't worry

All the buildings nearby belong to the hall

She...

will be fine

Miss, what can I do for you?

May I ask...

how often do you clean the hall?

There are people who'd clean the hall everyday

If you see any dirty spots,

I'll get someone to clean up

That's not it

I noticed some cobwebs on the beam,

that's why I asked

The ceiling of the hall is too high

The servants can't reach it

So we clean it with a ladder at the end of every year

I see

I see That will be all

Yes

-Mr Wen -Master Wang

Someone's waiting for me

I have to go

After you

[Farmer Ju Shui]

Who is this gentleman?

He is so dashing

I have no idea either

Could he be Duke Su?

I heard he had just returned...

to the capital from a campaign

Is that true?

How is that possible?

Duke Su never shows himself in public. Why would he be here?

But he does look sophisticated

-Yes -Exactly

[Ju Shui Farmer]

Thank you everyone...

for attending this event

As usual, this Yuedan Commentary...

will review all the writings of the land

Mr Ju Shui

Mr Ju Shui,

I am Shen Chen from Jizhou,

presenting "A Tour in Gan Quan Temple"

[Shen Chen, scholar, Jizhou]

I'd like to hear your feedback

Mister

The implication of your poem...

is impeccable

It puts the readers in a blissful state

Thank you, mister

I rate it second grade

-Second grade? -Only second grade?

-Second grade? -I've read that poem as well

I didn't expect it to be only second grade

Mister, you praised it,

yet you only gave it second grade

Why is that so?

I guess you haven't read...

"Crusade in the North" by Duke Su

Duke Su fights at the frontier all year round

Does His Highness write poems too?

That's right

Duke Su has always kept a low profile

In the poem, Duke Su led his army in a campaign up north

When Duke Su passed by Gan Quan Temple,

His Highness lamented...

that Buddha blessed all beings,

but not the warriors who died in battle

Just a few sentences...

are enough to make people feel like they're in the desert,

listening to the wind rustling,

but smelling...

the scent of a candle

Your poem has portrayed your intention

Your word-play is impressive

However, it lacks passion

Hence, a second grade

[Duke Su is impressive]

-[That's not what the poem's about] -All right

-Wen Xing -Yes, mister

Let's go

Run

Get out Get out of here

Are you all right?

You should be fine I have to go

It's you again

[Miraculous fortune teller,]

[then do you know...]

[when you will die?]

[He's the King of Hell from yesterday]

What are you talking about?

I just saved your life, but you're repaying me with ingratitude

This is a public space. Put down your hand

Don't we know each other?

Do we know each other?

Duke Su, Your Highness,

are you all right?

Your Highness,

an assassin has been caught

[I almost died because of him]

[Apparently he's a jinx]

[I must stay away from him]

Miss, what are you doing?

Nong Nong

You should be studying

Where are you going?

[Nong Nong?]

Mister, please get up

I'm sorry, mister

Mister, are you all right?

I'm fine But you reminded me of an old friend

Your old friend likes climbing walls too?

Well, I have something to do I have to go now

There's a bamboo grove over there

Pass through it and you'll see an alley

You can leave from there

Thank you, mister

Till the next time

We'll meet again if we're destined to

Mister,

the front hall has been taken care of

Duke Su has returned safely

The beam incident...

is definitely not an accident

It almost hit Duke Su

Keep this in mind

Ju Shui Pavilion...

must never be involved in the court's disputes

Look into this matter

Find out...

if it has anything to do...

with the people in this pavilion

If you find the vandal,

expel him

Yes

One more thing

Help me find out...

about the girl just now

Sure

Miss, you're finally back

Your sister is worried sick

Rong'er,

where have you gone?

Brother Qi and I were looking all over Ju Shui Pavilion for you

I left the pavilion...

and lost my way in a bamboo grove

I barely made it out

If you were back any later,

I'd have asked Father and Mother to search for you

Fu Xuan, what I did was wrong

It won't happen again

Fu Rong is just playful

Perhaps

Brother Qi, thank you for helping

It's getting dark

Rong'er and I are going to have a talk

Sure

Till we meet again

Don't be angry

The angrier you are,

the sadder I am

It's my fault for going off on my own

You can punish me by...

grounding me for the night

Sleeping is grounding now?

Anyway, I'm off to my punishment

[Have you heard?]

[The prince's new wife...]

[is forced to marry him because she lost her entire family]

[Of course I've heard]

[Her father was beheaded, sister died in childbirth, brother died prematurely]

[She's a jinx]

It was a dream

It was a dream

Miss, are you awake?

Master has returned

Okay

Father, Mother, Fu Xuan

Father,

were you implicated by the incident in Ju Shui Pavilion?

Luckily this time,

there was no casualty

It was merely a false alarm

But,

this case is not as simple as it seems

The person...

that the beam almost hit...

was Duke Su

-Duke Su? -Duke Su?

Duke Su?

The accident...

was likely an attempt to assassinate Duke Su

Thanks to God's blessing,

Duke Su managed to survive

That explains it

So that's what happened

Explain what?

I mean,

it all makes sense

Of all times,

the beam fell during the Yuedan Commentary

But Father,

wasn't Duke Su away on a campaign?

Why would someone harm him as soon as he's returned?

This is a royal affair

It's not something we can speculate

I've been working all night

I'm tired

I'll take a rest in my room

Help yourselves

Rong'er

Father is fine now

Why do you seem dejected?

Sister,

has this ever happened to you?

The more you fear something,

the more likely it is to happen

Even if it had,

it was probably a coincidence, not some miracle

I guess I should be careful even if it's only a conincidence

What are you mumbling to yourself about?

Fu Xuan,

Father said the case has been handed over to the prosecutor

Isn't Brother Qi, whom you were seeing off yesterday,

the prosecutor from the Criminal Investigation Bureau?

Could you please

No way

The case is none of our business

Eat up

Let's eat
