[Wonderful Fate]

What is the significance of Zhengguo Canal and Dujiangyan Irrigation System?

Is this question simple?

Yes, it is.

Li Fuzhu!

Li Fuzhu!

Come on. Answer the question. Come on.

Why are you staring at me?

Is the answer written on my face?

Refer to the book.

Where is it?

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Which page are you turning to?

Isn't it written here, is it?

The construction of Zhengguo Canal

made Guanzhong the Land of Abundance.

Dujiangyan Irrigation System enabled Chengdu

to tame the drought and flood and enjoy vast fertile land.

Well, class monitor.

Change seats with Yibo.

Go over.

Li Fuzhu.

Do you want to stand till the class is over?

Come on, class.

Let's move on to the next question.

[Episode 03]

Reckless traitor!

You pretended to be the heavenly lady

to gain fame by deceiving people.

You fooled me.

I'll have you executed on the spot now.

Greetings to Your Royal Highness.

Yun Li!

You have always kept out of the affairs of the imperial court.

Why are you present at the imperial court

and participating in the discussion about state affairs today?

Your Majesty, please calm your anger.

In my humble opinion,

the heavenly lady

holds the key to the prosperity of our state Yun Lai.

If Your Majesty has her killed,

I am afraid we won't have other sound strategies.

Your Majesty,

please think twice.

State Preceptor is here.

Your Majesty.

Greetings to the State Preceptor.

His Highness Prince Li is right.

Your Majesty, the heavenly lady came from the heaven.

She must have her extraordinary forte.

Why don't we

hear what good strategies she can contribute

to make our state prosperous and powerful?

Then Your Majesty can make your decision.

Right, Your Majesty.

We can just hear what the heavenly lady will say.

It won't do us any harm to hear her out, Your Majesty.

Well,

do you know

Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Zhengguo Canal?

You don't know.

You are so ignorant.

The construction of the Zhengguo Canal

made Guanzhong

the Land,

the Land of Abundance.

Dujiangyan Irrigation System enabled Chengdu

to tame the drought and flood and enjoy vast fertile land.

What's the Land of Abundance?

It is like the heavenly palace.

It enjoys fertile land and plentiful supply of food.

The Land of Abundance.

If this is true,

our Yun Lai will surely prosper.

Yes.

Our Yun Lai will prosper.

My Lady, could you please

build the,

the Zheng Canal?

Eh.

It is easier said than done.

Its construction involves

physics, geography, maths

and other scientific knowledge.

Such being the case,

could you please teach us?

This is the heavenly secret.

So it can't be divulged.

Otherwise, I'll be punished.

Then what should we do?

How about

your only imparting the knowledge

to His Majesty?

I...

His Majesty is the son of Heaven.

If you impart the knowledge to His Majesty,

you can't be said to divulge the heavenly secret.

Am I right?

For the sake of Yun Lai's populace,

please don’t refuse, my lady.

No. Don't do this.

Please fulfill our wish, you heavenly lady.

Please free our people from disasters!

Please rescue our people from danger!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You saw what happened.

That is not what I want.

My lady.

Please don't use "Hey" to address His Majesty.

You should call him "Your Majesty".

I'll call him as I like.

You are rude.

You saw what happened.

I didn't want this.

Your courtiers insisted.

Actually, I am a very nice person.

Let's get along with each other from now on.

If we can't get along fine,

you should examine yourself critically.

Whoever is qualified to teach me

is either a talented man

or a man who is erudite and well-informed.

You are only a girl.

Tell me what makes you qualified.

Humph.

You are

discriminating against women flagrantly.

In my native place,

talented women are commonly seen.

Women can do

whatever men are capable of.

Take him as an example.

Women can do his job as a bodyguard.

Forgive my ignorance.

I don't know what a bodyguard is.

It's...

A person like you who constantly accompany and protect others

is called a bodyguard.

Why is such a person called a bodyguard?

Why do you have so many questions?

Maybe

it is because the bodies of the protected people

need to be guarded against harm.

Don't forget that

I allow you to teach me

is to make our state prosperous and our people powerful

and realize the Land of Abundance as soon as possible.

Otherwise,

even if I don't have you killed,

all my officials won't let you off.

My Lady, are you fine?

What the heck was that?

Oh, dear!

The empress dowager ordered

the Imperial Kitchen to cook these foods for you

referring to His Majesty's diet.

I am treated so nicely.

Why need I return to where I am from?

My Lady.

Let me serve you.

This is great.

My Lady, it is stipulated in the palace that

when His Majesty eats,

whether he likes the dish or not

he can only eat three bites of it.

Why?

Because the people with ill intentions may poison the food.

Interesting.

Only eat three bites of each dish.

If someone

poisons all the dishes,

won't the probability of being poisoned

be higher?

My Lady.

These dishes taste much better

than those of our school's canteen.

Why are you looking at me?

Eat together with me.

I am only a maid servant.

I dare not dine with you.

It doesn't matter.

Have a seat and eat together with me.

Sit down. Sit down. Sit down.

As you see, there are so many dishes on the table.

How can I eat them up by myself?

We can't waste food.

As the poem reads,

"Who knows that every morsel of food in our plate

comes from the toil and pain of the peasant?"

Dig in.

I have no appetite.

Take these foods

to Chef Xue.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Well, how about the food for the heavenly lady?

Her Majesty Empress Dowager has ordered that

the heavenly lady have the same food as you.

How does she like them?

According to the servants,

she enjoys them a lot.

She enjoys them a lot?

Chef Xue is really highly skilled.

The dish is so yummy.

Chef Xue? Who is it?

He is the director of the imperial kitchen.

Only His Majesty and Empress Dowager

have the chance to

eat the food cooked by him.

He will even order the servants to

carry the leftovers of His Majesty and Empress Dowager

out of the palace together with the swill.

Servants like me

don't know

when we can eat such good dishes.

Such a waste!

He really excels in cooking.

However,

it is said that

while he was cooking in his childhood,

a fire started suddenly.

But he stayed there

going on cooking.

So something went wrong with his brain due to the smoke.

Such kind of person

is usually a genius.

Come on. Eat more.

Hurry.

I was deeply moved suddenly.

Before waiting upon you,

I have been attending to Empress Dowager.

I have been unable to eat my fill.

Only while Empress Dowager was resting,

could we eat some of

the food prepared for the servants.

From now on,

you'll be a good sister to me.

As long as I have food to eat,

I won't let you go hungry.

I don't know

why you say so, my lady.

But...

My parents sent me here when I was a child.

Nobody has treated me so heartily.

From now on, I'll try my best

to repay your kindness.

Why are you on your knees again?

Haven't I told you that

you are my bosom friend?

From now on, what is mine is yours

and what is yours is mine.

Also, in the coming days,

could you stop kneeling so often?

Mmm.

All right. Hurry to eat!

Is it tasty?

Here you are. Take this.

Delicious.

So uncouth.

Lord Sun.

Here, Your Majesty.

Look at her!

Does she behave like a person from the Heavenly Palace?

Well,

her behavior is unusual indeed.

Go back to my palace.

Elder sister has been dead for so long.

But you still miss her so much.

Her soul in heaven

must be very gratified.

Your elder sister

is tender and virtuous by nature.

She thinks for others in everything.

Back then, she was condemned by the public.

To safeguard the good reputation of our Ruan Family,

she died to make amends.

I am to blame for being angry with her

and not caring about her back then.

I was even

unaware that

she intended to hang herself.

Don't blame yourself, dad.

Elder sister tarnished the reputation of our Ruan Family first.

If she hadn't...

Enough.

Let bygones be bygones.

Yes.

Well,

Why do you help heavenly daughter in court?

It can be seen that

Yun Yi is

on bad terms with the heavenly lady.

Since the heavenly lady knows so many secrets,

I should take the chance to draw her to our side.

In the future,

she will be helpful for us.

But we don't

know her background.

We don't know

whether she is of one heart with us.

You go see Empress Dowager

to beg her

to allow you to stay in the imperial harem permanently.

In this way,

first,

it'll be convenient for you to come into contact with Yun Yi.

Second,

you will be able to find out the truth about the heavenly lady.

I am afraid that

no matter how hard I try,

His Majesty won't marry me.

The purpose of getting Yun Yi to marry you

is to make you the empress.

I have talked with the enemy states behind closed doors,

and they promised that

they would support our Ruan Family in secret.

Now we only need the justifiable excuse.

Once you become the empress,

by then,

Yun Lai

will fall into our hands for real.

To this end,

you must resort to all means

to make him marry you.

My lady, you need not do this.

No. We can't waste food.

Haven't you heard of the "Clear your plate" campaign?

By the way,

you go tell Xue...

Chef Xue.

Right.

Go tell him

not to cook so many dishes in the days to come.

From today onward, just cook four dishes and one soup.

Four dishes and one soup

are enough.

Mmm.

On such a hot day,

the heavenly lady ate up

all the 20 dishes.

It is a matter of course.

Think who cooked them.

Our Chef Xue cooked them.

Yes. Right.

But the heavenly lady's maid came to say that

from tomorrow onward,

we should only cook four dishes and one soup.

Well,

is this praise

or negative comment?

Don't mind.

Even if we only cook one dish,

we should put our hearts into it.

We can't bring disgrace to the Imperial Kitchen.

Did you hear me?

Yes, sir!

Sous Chef.

Yes.

Today His Majesty returned much food.

At nighttime,

carry them out of the palace

together with the swill.

Besides,

the remaining ingredients

should also be taken out.

Are you clear?

Yes, sir!

Now go back to your work.

I can't eat so much next time.

It is like having a buffet.

Greetings, My Lady.

Go fetch me some Jianweixiaoshi tablets.

Greetings, My Lady.

What is that?

It is the medicine that helps digestion.

I ate too much. Now I feel uncomfortable.

Then, my lady,

I'll go to the Imperial Kitchen in a while

to ask them to cook some haw soup for you.

OK.

Don't forget to

ask them to put

tremella, longan,

lotus seed, pearl powder and so on into the soup.

You want something to help digestion, right?

Why do you want to eat them as main food?

I am worried that

I might be hungry after the digestion is over.

Go now.

Yes, my lady.

It's really nice

staying here.

I have plenty to drink and to eat and have a maid.

Great!

My Lady.

What a coincidence!

It's not a coincidence.

The imperial palace is a small place.

It is normal for us to come across each other.

I am going to

see you.

What do you want to see me for?

I have saved you.

Certainly, I'll see you to ask you to repay my favor.

Why should I?

Have you ever heard of the spirit of selflessness?

Helping people is the source of happiness.

When you help others,

you shouldn't ask for anything in return.

As the saying goes,

as long as every person contribute a bit love,

the world will be more beautiful tomorrow.

Take your time to think about it, young man.

That's not right.

What I was taught

in my childhood is that

a drop of water in need

should be returned with a spring indeed.

Er,

we might have received

different kinds of education.

I have received the nine-year compulsory education.

For whatever reason,

it doesn't make sense that

you don't repay my favor of saving you.

Well,

what do you want in return?

Since you come from the heaven,

I want you to tell me

what the heaven is like.

Is this all?

Yes.

I am very curious about

what the other world

is like exactly.

No problem. Let's go.

The heavenly lady is talking about the heaven in the Imperial Garden.

Her story is wonderful.

Really?

Really.

The heavenly lady said that

in the heaven,

there are man-made birds that can fly.

Man-made flying birds?

People can board them

to go wherever they want.

So amazing!

Let's hurry to check it out.

OK.

In my homeland,

it's very convenient for us

to travel.

We have various vehicles to travel by sea,

by air and by land.

Do you know what sails on the sea?

It's the steamship.

The steamship

is so large.

Back then, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Seas,

holding the overseas countries in awe

and making the whole world know

we are powerful.

He is awesome!

Do you know what a mobile phone is?

You stay in your home,

and you stay in yours.

You two can use mobile phones to talk

as if you were face to face.

Isn't it awesome?

Isn't it awesome?

As I told you these,

I became homesick.

In my native place,

as long as you work hard,

you can become whatever you want.

You can become a man of letters.

You can become an artist.

You can become a painter.

We have never heard about these.

If you become an actor,

you can play the emperor and feel what it is like.

Eh, don't do this. Aah, you...

This is the reason

why I don't want to chat with you.

Hurry to rise to your feet.

It's not convenient being up here.

Hurry to rise to your feet.

Nonsense!

Then,in your opinion, my lady,

can people be together with their beloved ones?

In my homeland, we have freedom of love.

As long as you love each other,

even the heavenly king can't intervene.

I really mean it. Nobody can intervene.

In a family, the father has to be obeyed.

We dare not do things

against our parents' will.

Well...

This depends on what the matter is.

You must be independent in personality

and be free to fall in love and get married.

Let's go back.

How I wish

I could also live in the heaven!

Mmm-hmm.

That will be great.

I want to stay in the palace to wait upon Your Majesty.

You want to stay here to wait upon me?

Yes.

My mother passed away early.

My father is always busy with the state affairs.

So, whenever I see Your Majesty,

I feel you are like a mother to me.

I've always wanted to enter the palace

to wait upon Your Majesty.

But I worried that

Your Majesty might not like me doing that.

Qing'er.

You thought too much.

I've been considering this, too.

But I worried you might find the life here boring.

Since you are so thoughtful,

just stay in the palace.

Anyway, you'll marry into the palace sooner or later.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

In a while,

I'll go visit the heavenly lady.

Oh.

Do you know her?

We hit it off from the very start.

She is a girl

who behaves and talks strangely.

It's rare that you two hit it off.

Alright. In your free time, go spend as much time with her as possible.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

The heavenly lady is saying unethical things

in the Imperial Garden.

How could she do that?

If we don't obey our parents,

our parents will punish us severely.

They may even sell us to others.

In my homeland,

few parents do harm to their children

but many children cause their parents trouble.

Cause parents trouble?

I never heard of that.

Besides, in my homeland,

it is illegal to kidnap and sell people.

Do you know what laws we have?

We have the

Marriage Protection Law,

Property Protection Law,

Children Protection Law,

and Women Protection Law.

Is there the Eunuch Protection Law?

Eu...

Eu...

Well,

we have no eunuchs in my native place.

No eunuchs?

We really don't.

Then, then who waits upon His Majesty?

His Majesty?

We don't have am emperor, either.

No emperor?

That's unheard-of! It's impossible.

We really don't.

In my homeland,

all people are their own masters.

Everything is done for people's good.

Her Majesty Empress Dowager is here.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Greetings to you, Queen Mother.

How should I deal with this?

Who is spreading fallacies to mislead people here?

Please clam your anger, Queen Mother.

I asked

the heavenly lady to talk about the things of the heaven.

In the heavenly court,

the Jade Emperor rules.

This is simple truth.

How come you don't know it?

It's all my fault.

I asked

the heavenly lady to make up

these deviant and heretical stories

to amuse me.

So what she said are all falsehoods.

I knew that

there is no such a place.

Exactly.

Yun Li.

You have an unrestrained disposition.

It is fine that you can't

help your brother with state affairs.

But today,

you misled the heavenly lady.

Do you admit your mistake?

Yes, I do.

From today onward,

you should stay in your own chamber

and should not go out

within seven days to come.

Your Majesty, this has nothing...with him.

Shh.

You heavenly lady.

A ready tongue is an evil.

You should speak and act cautiously.

Rise to your feet.

Thank you, Queen Mother.

Your Majesty.

I think the heavenly lady just spoke rashly.

She is forthright and sincere.

It's understandable that she sometimes misspeaks.

In the days to come,

Qing'er will always stay in the palace.

If you have free time, you heavenly lady,

please learn from her as much as possible.

Learn from her?

I will die sooner.

What did you say?

I said that

from now on,

I will learn from Qing'er seriously,

make arduous efforts,

work hard and try not to get pimples.

Carry this with you.

When you miss me,

you can look at it.

Wait for me.

When I come back from the battlefield,

I will ask my father

to permit me to marry you.

You must come back safely.

No!

Report to you, My Lady.

Tonight, His Majesty seem to be drunk

because his yearning for your eldest sister.

You'll be mine in the end.
