Court Lady

Ep26

Her Majesty wants to see Master Su.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Your Royal Highness.

I've finished reading this book.

Ma Hainiu, you really read that?

You've got a guest here, Your Royal Highness?

I'll leave you to it, then.

A guest?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Ma Hainiu!

Lianyan was quite right.

If I don't care about him,

-Ma Hainiu. -He'll care about me.

What?

You regret it?

You heard her. She doesn't want you anymore.

Doesn't want...

Doesn't want me anymore?

Sister,

I've got things to do. If you'll excuse me.

Always so careless.

If...if you'll excuse me.

Your Royal Highness,

are you alright?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I heard that there's a beauty cream

that is quite popular in Chang'an now.

They say with just one jar of it,

you can stay young forever.

I heard about it long ago. I always want to have people buy it for me.

But you can't buy it anywhere, right?

Come on. See what I've got here.

You bought it?

Darling,

you are so good to me.

By the way,

I've also prepared something for you.

Have you?

Not chicken soup,

I suppose?

Exactly.

I remember last time you said it was good?

What?

You lied to me?

No. Of course not.

How could I lie to you?

Your cooking was just excellent.

I've always missed it.

Xiu,

bring us the chicken soup.

I know you have a big appetite.

So,

I prepared double portions for you.

My darling,

it's so good to have you.

What are you doing in broad daylight?

I've got a good position.

What is it?

General Fan suddenly fell ill.

So, King Liang recommended me

to be the head of Her Majesty's escorts this time.

A good opportunity to gain recognition from the leaders.

Let's celebrate.

Give me a kiss.

Brother,

bullying Yin again?

Yingying,

why do come here during this time?

I'm not coming here for you.

I want Yin to do some knitting for me.

Don't you have your own maids?

Why do you always come to my Yin?

Your Yin?

That's gross.

I need Yin 'cause she's good at knitting.

Let's go.

Yingying.

Yingying.

Listen to me.

Yingying.

Yingying, listen to me.

Yingying.

Yingying.

Your Majesty.

You don't take an old man like me seriously

anymore, do you, the Empress?

What made you say so, Your Majesty?

I just want to request a court lady for King Liang.

But you always brushed me off pretending you were ill.

I'm getting old.

I might as well die

so that I don't bother you anymore.

You misunderstood, Your Majesty.

The Empress was seriously ill these days.

She's just been able to get out of bed today.

Why do you still want to go

to the Fengtian Temple if you are so ill?

I will feel uneasy

if I don't go there myself.

Uneasy about what?

Your fifth son.

My fifth son?

Shijun?

The poor kid died so early.

I always feel sad whenever I think of him.

It's the anniversary of his death in a few days.

I want to go to the Fengtian Temple myself

and ask Master Su to perform Taoist rites for him.

He has left me for many years.

I'm such a fool

that I almost forgot the anniversary of his death.

Thank you for still remembering that.

Directress Fu is just a court lady.

It really doesn't matter who's gonna take her.

What matters is Shijun's anniversary.

I'll deal with the matter of Directress Fu

when I come back from the Fengtian Temple.

I wasn't able to explain that to you.

I'm sorry for letting you

get angry with me.

No.

No. Not at all.

You were quite right.

I shouldn't blame you.

I'll be going with you

since this is about Shijun.

The South Gate

Young General Lu,

we shall discuss the route.

Their Royal Highnesses's route shall be kept confidential.

You know this is a rule.

A rule should be reasonable.

While General Fan was here,

we always discuss it together.

Young General.

While my father was the commander here,

I was addressed as Young General, different from my father, the General.

But now, I am the commander and you're the second-in-command.

You should call me General Lu.

General Lu,

we'll be passing the Great Mount Cang on our way to the Fengtian Temple.

The forests are dense with complex geology.

-We... -I know.

I've given some thoughts on it, too.

I'll tell you the exact route

when you should be told.

He's so young and naive.

How dare he show off in front of me!

Her Majesty has appointed

Lu Qi as the General of escorts for her trip.

Lu Hanxing

has got all the information

of the time, the route,

and the staff arrangement.

The Empress?

That's a big fish.

I'll let you know it feels to lose your wife

since you've killed my whole family.

Commander,

Lu Hanxing asked you not to forget the thing you promised.

I know.

Not letting Lu Qi come back alive.

This old bastard, Lu Yunji.

He's plundered my entire home.

I'm gonna make him pay properly with

his son's life.

My men!

Yes, sir!

Now, this is our time to take revenge.

Tell all your fellows

to sharpen their blades.

We're gonna make one big score.

Go! Go! Go!

Your Majesty.

King Zhou is here.

Father,

I don't know why you summon me

here today.

You said you want some clear-mud inkstones?

Here're some from the tributes of Jiang city.

Pick whichever you like.

Guards.

All eel-skin yellow ones?

Yes.

28 clear-mud inkstones altogether.

Only 3 are eel-skin yellow ones.

All here.

Such gook inkstones!

Perfect in both shape and color.

I don't even know which to pick.

You don't have to, then.

I'll reward all of them to you.

That won't be appropriate.

King Han has always wanted

an inkstone like this.

Even the Crown Prince doesn't get to

use such an inkstone.

Just take my reward.

I'd like to see who dares to talk.

Thank you, Father.

They should be matched with a fine brush.

Guards.

Yes, sir.

Bring me my jade Xuan brush.

I'll reward it to King Zhou.

Yes, sir.

This...This is your treasured object.

You're right.

My treasured object.

Nothing wrong if I reward it

to my own son.

Come on.

Take it.

You're in a good mood today, Father?

I'm happy as long as I see you.

Take it.

I'm happy

as long as you're happy, Father.

Directress Fu.

Your Royal Highness.

Where are you going?

Her Majesty is going to the Fengtian Temple.

I'm asked to be one of the entourage.

That's the job of court ladies

of the Palace Etiquette Service.

Why should Directresses be part of it?

I'm just doing what I am told.

I don't why.

You don't know?

But why do you seem to look forward to it?

This Fengtian Temple you mentioned.

Is it the one where Master Su stays?

Yes.

In order not to satisfy me, it seems

Her Majesty is using that funny

old fool to deal with me.

You got rewarded again?

Yeah. His Majesty was so generous today.

Shut up.

Follow me to the Hall of Nectar.

Let go of me, Your Royal Highness.

His Majesty promised

to give you to me.

He shall keep his word!

You won't be able to change anything

even if I go with you.

His Majesty

has left this to Her Majesty.

Oh, that's why.

Even the Crown Prince doesn't have these inkstones.

He rewarded me three.

Yeah.

His Majesty does care about you, Your Royal Highness.

Does that mean

he could disappoint me over and again?

I'm honest and upright. Never succumbed to authorities.

There's nothing I really

care about in this world.

But, it's another story

when it comes to playing chess.

Will you stop? I don't want to listen to you. I wanna go home.

Will you let me go?

I won't.

Let go of me.

I won't.

Will you just let me go, alright?

No, I won't.

Let me go.

Let's just play another round.

Another round?

Yeah.

We've played 107 rounds.

And I lost 107 rounds.

Don't crush me again.

I'm gonna have lunch. Let me go.

Just one more round.

I won't. Let go of me.

No.

Will you let me goรฏยผลธ

No.

Master, Master, please calm down.

I'm gonna hit you till you pass out.

You won't let me have lunch?

You won't let me?

Are you alright?

My life doesn't matter.

What matters is playing chess.

I've been studying the art of chess

for the past 60 years.

But I've never seen

such a novel way of playing it.

Although you're not skilled enough

and lost the whole game,

this move right here

surprised me a lot.

No.

We shall have another round.

Let go of me.

I...I need to have lunch.

No. One more.

Will you let me go?

No.

You won't, then?

No.

I can't. I need to eat. I'm sorry.

The North Gate

I...

I'm Lu Qi, appointed by His Majesty,

to be your escort, Your Majesty.

You're the son of Duke of Cai?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I've met your sister, Lu Yingying.

She's cute and clever.

Now I find you're also very capable.

How lucky Duke of Cai is to have children like you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

This way, please, Your Majesty.

The route.

Why is there only the route to go there?

What about the way back?

I'll let you know when we return.

The fewer people know about this,

the less risky it will be.

You might as well not give me anything.

I just need to follow you, General Lu.

That's not possible.

How would you perform your duty

if you knew nothing?

On this trip,

you need to send out scouts

and sort everything out in advance at each destination.

Make sure the Grand Emperor and Her Majesty

feel comfortable and at ease.

I make these tiny arrangements

and you take all the credits in front of Their Majesties.

You are so shrewd.

We've got our own duty.

Just and fair.

The North Gate

Let's go.

You two, listen.

Keep a close eye on him.

Don't let him escape.

One more round.

One more round.

It's been long since last time Master was so delighted.

Yeah.

It wasn't easy for that dude.

If I lost 107 rounds in a row

without a break,

I could never make it.

No one could.

Take it slow, Master.

Master Su is even more famous as a chess player

than as a face reader.

Everyone declines his invitation to playing chess.

Except you.

You volunteered.

How would I know he behaved like that?

Such a maniac.

He's destroyed my body and mind.

Bring me some alcohol.

Still gonna drink?

Be quick.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Father.

I've gathered some information.

Her Majesty was up to no good.

She plans to ask Master Su to do the face reading for Directress Fu

and decide who's gonna marry her,

which means,

she never really intends to give her to me.

Otherwise, she could just do it.

Why bother playing those tricks?

Have you gathered that

the Empress will have people

perform rites in the Fengtian Temple for your brother?

I don't care about a tiny issue

like that...

It's the anniversary of your brother.

How could you say it's a tiny issue?

What else do you care about other than women?

My bad.

It's my fault.

Father,

don't be angry with me.

I can't blame you.

You are younger.

You didn't even get to meet your elder brother.

Why would you care about him?

My son, Shijun,

was a smart young boy.

He could paint finest portraits of skylark under ten.

In those years,

when I led my troops to crush the rebels,

I worried that he might suffer,

so, I left him in my old Mansion.

It turned out that the rebels murdered him

'cause they failed to win me in the battle.

My poor son.

He was still under 14 the year he was killed.

So, my elder brother also knew how to paint.

No wonder I'm so like him.

You are so much alike,

not just in painting.

Your eyes and nose.

If only he were still alive...

You often remind me

of your elder brother.

No wonder I'm your favorite child.

All because of my elder brother.

When I have a son,

I'll take him to see you

and take care of you,

just like my elder brother did.

But if I am to have a son,

shouldn't you find me a woman

that can bear children for me?

Am I right?

Back to women, again,

with just a few words.

However,

what if Master Su says

Directress Fu isn't the right person for me?

What should I do?

Forget about her if she isn't the right one.

That Taoist priest has a knack

for face reading.

He isn't just any ordinary man.

I treat you with sincerity,

but you are so ruthless.

So, I drank some of your wine. So what?

Who cares about how much wine you drank?

I've been waiting for you for half a day.

I even brought the jade chess set

bestowed by His Majesty.

And now you're drunk.

How you are gonna play chess with me?

Go.

Fetch some cold water and sober him up.

Yes.

You think you can get away with it if you're drunk?

Stop yelling.

You think you're the master?

Let me tell you.

Wait if I figure out the Clever Chess Manual.

I'd defeat you with my eyes close.

Wait.

Young Master Sheng.

What did you just say?

The Clever Chess Manual?

Did I say that?

I don't think so.

Of course you did.

I heard every word of it.

You have the Manual?

No...

We're fellow chess players.

Don't hoard on the good stuff.

The Manual is worshipped in the world of chess.

Back then,

I couldn't have it even I was willing to

give away all my fortune.

Just let me have a look.

What do you say?

No...

I know nothing about it. I want to sleep.

Wait. Wake up!

Where is the Manual?

You really want it?

Let's bet on a game.

How?

If you win,

you can have it.

If you lose,

promise me something.

Okay.

I'll take this bet.

But,

if you lose,

don't accuse me of taking advantage of you when you're sobered up.

Deal.

Bring the water!

You sly fella!

Pretending to be drunk

to make me take the bet.

But it's alright.

You can't win me

even if you're sobered up.

I've played 107 rounds with you.

Although I lost it all,

I've already

known your method.

So, you're gonna

lose for sure this time.

Something seems to go wrong ahead.

Send my order. Go find out what's wrong.

Yes, sir.

Always so paranoid about even little things.

Let's just be frank, Second-in-command Cao.

Don't mumble to yourself.

This is the route you chose, General Lu.

Don't you know that there will be mudflows in the Great Mount Cang

blocking the roads on rainy days?

I thought Duke of Cai

had taught you everything, General Lu.

General,

there's a passage blocked by the mudflows ahead.

Sent the cavalry

and clear it up.

Follow me.

But, speaking of which,

you should be responsible for

scouting around.

Don't assign the blame to me.

I've sent some scouts.

But I couldn't tell

when there would be mudflows.

It was probably because

your presence gave those rocks

a shiver

and that's why they fell off.

It can't be.

You could have won

if you had stuck to a steady approach.

But you were eager to win

and beat me.

Your desperate move here

left me with no other choice.

You should know that

the yin and yang, the life and death are interdependent.

You gain the opportunity of survival

at the end of the road.

You lost.

I'll keep this

precious holy book then.

Father.

Be careful.

Your Majesties.

Your Royal Highness.

Old Beard,

it's been many years since we last met.

I am an old man now.

But you seem to be doing really good.

Thanks to the blessings of the Jade Emperor.

His Majesty came with me today

to arrange the rites for his fifth son.

When we're done with the rites,

I want to inquire about some other small issues.

I see, Your Majesty.

I've set up everything in the worship hall for Shijun.

If you'll follow me.

Where's Junior Yuan?

He said his elixirs are almost done.

He won't come.

Just as headstrong as his master.

Six hours.

Only six hours to go.

Senior.

Senior Yuan.

Be quiet.

If you disturb my cultivation,

I'll throw you into the cauldron and burn you!

Piss off!

Yes.

Come back here.

Get me the Perfect Alchemist's Robe.

The elixir is about done.

I need to change into it quickly.

What robe?

The Taoist robe

my master,

your grandmaster, left with me.

In the crate under the Grand Master's portrait.

Go get it.

Yes, sir.

Come back. Come back.

Remember.

Do not stain it.

Now go.

I'll go right now.

Senior,

I've got it.

What's wrong?

Senior,

I'd like to ask you something.

What is it?

Do you have to wear this robe?

Can you do with other robes?

You don't understand.

It is said that ninety percent of elixir cultivation ends in failure.

It's really difficult to get a fine cauldron of elixirs.

But, as long as I

put on this robe my master left with me,

I can surely make it.

This is my magic key to alchemy.

Now, just dress me up in this robe.

Wait a minute, Senior.

There're some tiny problems with it.

Look.

The Palace Etiquette Service is taking care of the rites in the worship hall.

We're now getting a break.

It is said that there's a statue of Queen Mother of the West in the side hall.

She always blesses women.

Shall we go and worship her?

You go have a look. I'll take a walk around here.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Let's go. Okay.

We're screwed.

Senior,

even though there's something

wrong with its color,

it's still inherited from Grand Master.

Would you try it on?

Grand Master may still bless you.

Nonsense.

This robe was blue

and now it turns red.

That's an ominous sign!

What blessing is this?

I had been picking herbs in the mountains for ten years

to gather all those precious ingredients

for just one cauldron of elixirs.

And I cultivated them for another three months, right?

I'm about to make it.

I can't let my effort go down the drain, can I?

I'll give you six hours.

You have to restore it.

I...Senior, I can't.

Senior,

keep this to yourself.

You have to!

It was still alright when I put it in there.

Why the color changed after you took it out?

It was all your fault!

Senior...

I...

I'm begging you, Senior.

Please be reasonable.

I'm begging you, Junior.

It's not the time to argue.

Just come up with something.

I can't.

You have to.

Senior, I beg you.

I really can't.

Senior.

-You've got to think. -Senior...

Don't you dare...

Excuse me, two masters...

-The side hall is this way. -That way.

That way.

Oh, yeah, that way.

I'm just wondering

if you ever put this robe

along with some pesticides?

Yeah.

It's cold and damp in the mountains. There're many bugs.

I put in some five-scent slices to repel insects.

You've put in a lot, I guess?

Not really.

Just twelve packets.

Normally just one packet will do.

You don't understand.

This robe is precious.

I don't care how much I spent

as long as I can preserve it well.

Unfortunately,

it changed color

instead of being damaged by bugs.

What should I do?

Take a look.

This robe was dyed with true indigo.

The five-scent slices contain turmeric and corn lilies.

You've put so many in the box.

Kept in a sealed box for such a long time,

they reacted

with true indigo.

And the color went slowly into the robe's fabric.

I don't get it.

I mean,

it's not difficult to

restore the color of this robe.

Luckily, you've got all sorts of herbs here.

Lady Fu,

your magical tricks

are pretty much the same as Senior's,

With all these herbs and fire.

You're not an alchemist, are you?

Actually, dyeing is very similar to alchemy.

Herbs like nutgalls and dried flowers of pagoda trees

can be made into medicines or dyes.

Alchemists mix the herbs together

in precise proportions

and cultivate elixirs to cure people.

That's the same with dyeing.

You'll be able to change colors at your will

by controlling the proportion of ingredients

and using unique methods.

For example, your senior

put the robe in the crate made of camphor wood.

The corn lilies in the five-scent slices were more likely

to disperse this way than in a sandalwood box.

That's why the robe changed its color so easily.

That's a lot to learn about dyeing.

Has it changed back?

Take it slow, Master.

Let me do it. Let me do it.

Come on.

Is it done?

Hurry up.

Take it out.

Take it out. Have a look.

Why hasn't it changed yet?

Let it dry under the sun.

Come on. Hurry up.

Here. Here.

Here we go. Right.

It has changed.

It's changed!

It's changed!

Thank you, Master, for your blessings.

Thank you, Grand Master.

This robe now looks as if brand new.

Yeah.

Lady Fu is such a genius.

Yeah.

Where's she now?

The elixirs are done!

Alright.

Just put it on!

Oh, yes.

Where have you been?

Her Majesty is looking for you after the ritual.

Get inside.

What do you want me to do, Your Majesty?

King Liang is also at the Fengtian Temple now.

He is always rude and reckless.

I worry that you might run into him.

So, I summoned you here.

Don't walk around unless you're on a duty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Off you go now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Have you met Master Su?

Yes.

What did he say?

He said that...

I am

honest and upright. I do not fear authorities.

I only tell the truth as a face reader.

I won't ruin a potential marriage

with the excuse of face reading

just because Her Majesty wishes me to do so.

He really replied like that?

We just want him to say

Directress Fu isn't the right person for King Zhou.

He was determined to embarrass us.

He never cared about Her Majesty.

A man of strong morals.

No wonder he is the master.

Your Majesty, what do we do now?

Don't panic.

We shall give him a second chance.

Maybe he can find out Directress Fu

really isn't the right person for King Zhou.

But what if he finds out

Directress Fu is the right one?

Do we really...

I'll think of other ways.

For the stability of our nation,

for the future of the Crown Prince,

I won't allow anyone to stir up any trouble.

They want me

to take the order from the Grand Emperor

and lie that King Liang

and Directress Fu is a perfect match?

I can't do that.

You're not respecting the Grand Emperor.

No, I'm not.

I'm not respecting the Grand Emperor.

I'm not respecting Her Majesty, either.

I'm busy here.

You can leave now.

All this wheel and deal.

So dull.

I only gain the ultimate pleasure from the game of chess.

He was so rude!

I'll arrest him and give him 200 whips.

Then he shall behave.

That old fella.

He's always like that.

He never listens to anyone.

Why are you so angry?

Aren't you?

I am not.

He didn't listen to me.

So, he won't listen

to the Empress, either.

I'm confused.

I want to know

the true thoughts of this master.

I'd like to know the true fate of Directress Fu.

If she's gonna bring bad luck,

you have to give up on her.

I won't have any dignity

if I can't get the woman I want.

Su did the face reading for the fiancee

of the son of Marquis of East Wei,

saying she would bring bad luck to her husband.

But the Marquis didn't take it seriously

and asked his son to marry her.

Then his only son fell ill

and died within three months.

On the day of his funeral,

the Marquis leaned on the coffin and wailed.

He regretted not listening to Master Su.

So,

if Master Su says Directress Fu isn't right for you,

I won't let you marry her.

Did you hear me?

What if Master Su says

she can bring me good luck?

Then she'll be yours.

Her Majesty won't

be able to object to it while I'm here.

You didn't sleep well, Master Su?

I didn't even sleep

last night.

We want you to tell the fortune for a lady.

Come forward.

Yes, Your Majesty.

She's not just anybody.

Four men are asking

His Majesty for permission to marry her.

My son

is one of them.

Here's only one beauty.

We don't know who should marry her.

Please help us, Master.

As the saying goes, "a woman is always popular among men."

She is elegant and graceful.

Although four men want her,

I'm the only one that should get her.

Why the hurry?

We don't know about her fate

and if she's qualified to serve you.

She has a high forehead

and a prominent philtrum.

Her earlobes are thick and broad.

This woman has extremely good luck.

See?

I knew she would be great.

Father,

did you hear him?

Since this woman is greatly blessed,

she's perfect to serve my son.

The Empress.

You do need to respect

my decision, don't you?

Since Your Majesty say so...

Your Majesty...

You want to defy the decision?

All your clan shall be sentenced to death.

Your Majesty,

just tell me your choice.

In that case, you can take her, King Liang.

Wait.

For what?

What do you want?

King Liang.

Please calm down.

I've only just told you half of it.

I haven't told you the other half.

Open the door.

Open the door.

Coming.

Open the door.

Open...

What do you want?

There's something wrong with the Manual.

What's wrong?

It looks fine.

How could it be?

There's only half of the method explained

for the most important game in the end.

It's only a scrap of the Manual.

Of course there's a half missing.

What can I do about it?

You...you fooled me!

You won it from me.

How did I fool you?

I've wanted to get this Manual my whole life.

I can live without it.

But after reading the first half,

I can't stand not having

the second half!

You...

You wanna see me

so desperate like this?

You've ruined the rest of my life!

I'll never be able to

sleep well from now on.

I'm dying to read the second half.

Alright.

But you need to do me a tiny favor.

Just tell us the other half of it.

Although she is greatly blessed,

she will bring bad luck to the royal family.

What's that rubbish?

How could she bring bad luck

if she is blessed herself?

Different people

are blessed differently.

A fish can live so well

if it is

put in the water.

But a tiger will drown

if it is pushed into the water.

Directress Fu's greatly blessed by water.

King Liang is the son of a dragon bloodline.

His fate carries some qualities of a dragon.

Dragon is a fire sign.

It won't be good if

fire meets up with water.

If King Liang

decides to marry her,

she won't be able to bear children for him.

We can't have that.

I'm expecting King Liang to have a son.

Father.

You shall stop.

Just

give up on this.

How about King Zhou?

He's also a member of the royal family.

He can't marry her, either.

If that's the case,

I can explain it to His Majesty then.

You can leave, Directress Fu.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Lady Fu.

Young Master.

I finally found you.

Was Master Yuan able to get his elixirs?

Yes.

The elixirs are so precious.

They're the fruits of Senior's hard work.

There're only ten of them.

They are antidotes and the cure for diseases.

Senior gave these two elixirs to you.

Thank you for helping him.

That's a valuable gift.

Just take them.

Senior said that

he has spent all his life on them.

He will abandon the cauldron and give up alchemy.

You can never get these again even if you want.

Just take them.

Many thanks to Master.

Thank you, too.

I'll be off then.

Your Majesty.

What do you want me to do?

Master,

how long do you think I can still live?

You're blessed. You'll live long.

Let's save the formalities.

I really want an answer.

That's why I asked you to stay.

Your Majesty,

it's taboo

to talk about life span

during the face reading.

Our nation used to be in chaos due to the war.

Our people have been suffering the plight.

Our country is more stable and secure

thanks to the leadership of His Majesty.

But, to be honest,

the whole nation is still just recovering.

In the past year,

many things happened to the Crown Prince.

And my condition...

I...

If I really die one day,

the Crown Prince will lose his mother.

And if there's an upheaval in the court,

it will surely cause a stir nationwide.

Our people, whose lives are just getting better,

can never live peacefully again.

I understand your concerns,

Your Majesty.

Then just tell me the truth.

How long have I still got?

Well...

Three times and out.

Please stop asking.

I don't even get three years left?

Can't you just think of any other way...

Your life span is decided by God.

No one can change that.

However...

Go on.

Directress Fu is greatly blessed by water.

Her fate is a wood sign.

Water can help the wood grow.

If you keep her by your side,

she can improve your luck.

In the future,

that will be of great help.

that will be of great help.
