Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki

♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫

♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫

♫ Lush and ruthless, but always fascinating ♫

♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫

♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫

♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫

♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫

♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫

♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫

♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫

♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

♫ I'm drunk tonight, hugging the shadow to sleep ♫

[Cinderella Chef] [Episode 43]

So I've said,

some people, if they get it, they don't know how to cherish it.

How come when you ate it before, you couldn't taste the meat flavor?

You're getting revenge on me?

Whose fault is it that you never told the truth before?

Are you going to eat it or not? Are you going to eat it or not?

Fine, fine. I'll eat it. I'll eat it.

As long as my wife made it, even if there are knives in there, I'll still eat it.

Yao Yao.

Seeing that you can even eat meat-flavored ice cream,

I'll give you a surprise.

Didn't you say that

whenever my heart opens up, that's when I'll return this to you?

Before, the master you found didn't make it look very good.

So I found someone to redo it.

[I Love You]

What?

♫ The meaning I believe ♫

♫ is bestowed only today

♫ And I'm also just following my heart ♫

♫ Even if I refuse to mention it ♫

Such delicious shaved ice,

how could I eat it all myself?

Then let's eat it together.

Didn't we say we were going to eat shaved ice?

That's right. We'll eat it in our room.

Hey!

♫ Even if I don't say I mind it ♫

♫ It's like breathing ♫

♫ It's hard to find anything that can replace it ♫

Liuli, you are back!

Look, I can walk more steps today.

What's wrong?

I have a question, what kind of person do you think I am?

What are you talking about?

I asked you a question!

You are the best person in the world.

But what if one day you find out, I'm not that great?

I lie, I'm evil, I love power,

I bully people and I'm easily jealous.

Will you still treat me the same?

Liuli, you are not like that.

If someone thinks you are like that, they must be misunderstanding you.

But what if I am?

Then I still would not change either. I, Xia Chunfeng, would be useless.

But no matter what danger comes in the future, I will stand up in front of you.

Even if the whole world hates you,

I will still love you.

Liuli, what are you doing?

What's wrong? You don't want me anymore?

It's all right if you don't.

Who said I didn't want you?

"Blessings from the Emperor, His Majesty decrees.

Xia Chunyu having a sharp look,

has made a righteous name by his loyal and filial character. Promoting morality with the Buddhist scriptures as a guide.

He is hereby being bestowed with the title Envoy Yunping. That is all."

May His Majesty live long and prosper!

Xia Chunyu, King Gemu of Ximin has arrived in the city.

His Majesty has conferred on you the title Yunping Envoy, because he wants you help to bring about the marriage of the Ximin Princess, Anruan.

This will ensure the two countries will keep their peaceful relations.

I, his humble servant, hear his order and obey.

If only I could see how handsome you looked at court.

Actually, you don't need to see me at court.

You already see enough of me.

You are so annoying.

Were you thinking of something else?

I mean, like my cooking.

Your cooking?

You know how to cook?

What is this?

Happy Couple rolls.

The Wa style of egg rolls. (Wa - Ancient name for Japan)

And heart-shaped beef.

You taught your signature dishes to Zhongxiang,

so don't blame me, if...

What's wrong?

Is it that bad?

No, these are tears of joy.

I'm always the one cooking for other people.

I never thought that someone would cook for me.

Don't cry.

Yao Yao, I have something for you.

This is the ownership property deed for the Heavenly Dining Hall.

Although, I'm a very selfish person

who, after we married, wanted you to cook for me

and no one else.

On second thought, I don't want you to be a woman who sits around and waits for me to come home.

You remembered all of it?

Of course.

You are a different kind of woman. I married you and I need to respect you.

No matter if you want to open a restaurant

or you want to be just a chef, it's all fine.

As long as you like it, I will let you do it.

You don't think it'll be bad for your reputation.

That your wife is a cook?

They can say whatever they want to say.

Anyone who offends you, I will beat them for you.

No need to be so violent.

I can't accompany you very much for the next couple of days.

You need to take care of yourself. Especially around Youshi.

Rest assured, he is basically under house arrest.

Actually that day, you had a lot of opportunities to find the truth.

But you still cut him some slack.

You still have a soft spot.

Chunfeng is still my brother.

And my father is so old.

I really don't want to cause any chaos.

But if Youshi plans any such schemes again, he will pay for that.

And you remember, I told you before...

Okay, since when did you become so talkative?

Go, go, go now.

Wait until I come back, then I'll honor your bed chamber.

No way. Clearly you're the one who helps me get ready for bed.

I will be especially kind to you.

Yunping Ambassador, this way.

Yunping Ambassador, Xia Chunyu, here to humbly see Your Majesty.

This belonged to Hanning.

You two really look alike.

Uncle.

- Come here. - Uncle.

Sit. We are family.

Let Uncle take a good look at you.

I haven't ever met my mother and even the story of my birth I only recently heard.

I understand... you are a very pitiful child.

Speaking of Hanning, I have to tell you something.

-This is... - Ever since I started wearing this crown,

some of the bad people who wanted to incite war are being punished.

Someone found the people behind your mother's murderer, Tu Bo.

According to his statement, he was not the real murderer.

Here, this is the drawing he did by memory.

He said the person who committed the crime with him, has this kind of signature emblem on his clothes.

I, Chunyu, will do whatever it costs to find the real murderer.

I will never let my mother's death remain unclear.

Good. Then Uncle will wait for your news.

I'm begging you, please take these.

This year we had a harvest but the road is ruined.

These products cannot be transported out of here.

How can we live?

Maybe you should go see other places.

I'm sorry, we can't do anything for you.

Heavenly Dining Hall is the best restaurant in the city.

I'm begging you, please take them.

We will kneel down to you.

Don't do this, please get up!

Please take these.

Please.

- Chef, look at this. - What's wrong?

You people get up first.

Get up.

They begged us to buy their peaches, but we already have so many.

If we buy these, we will never get to sell them before they rot.

We are not a place of charity.

If we buy these, we are throwing money away.

Here, I will buy three more bushels.

Please take all of these.

Please, take all of these.

Otherwise, let's buy all of them.

As far as the storage, we can just give every citizen one for free.

This-This...

Please.

Miss Ye, I have a solution.

You soak these cut up pears in a sugar soup for a few hours.

And then put the pears in the jar with sugar water.

And put the lid on it.

Remember you have to use wax to seal the jar lid.

Then put these in the big pot to steam them.

Then the pears will last longer and you can sell them all the time.

How come I never thought of that?

Seal and then use high-temperature sterilization.

This is exactly like the 7-11 fruit cans!

How did you think of this?

Miss Ye, I don't know what a fruit can or 7-11 is,

but the method is from my research.

You see, the sweet soup soak is to preserve the sweetness of the pears.

And putting them in the sealed jar

was an accidental result.

It preserved them longer than exposing them outside.

As for why I steam them in the pot...

You will laugh at this, but my stomach is very fragile.

As long as the water is not boiled

it will give me diarrhea.

So I found out a fire is not only for heating up food,

it will reduce any disease contained in the food.

Wow, I have a new master to learn from now.

No, no.

Actually, all the methods I use are to help the fruit farmers.

That's the meaning of this. It's nothing genius.

Nothing genius? Cans won't be invented until the 19th century.

You know so much!

You know how to use smoke to compare fingerprints and you know how to make sealed cans.

Are you sure you are from your time?

Miss Ye, what do you mean?

Perhaps you won't believe this but you remind me of this friend of mine.

And you two are very alike. you both like inventing stuff.

But his invention was stolen by somebody else.

So if you have any new inventions,

remember to apply for the patent!

It's such a shame that his research was stolen by other people.

But Miss Ye, what happened to your friend after that?

After that? Then we went our separate ways.

And we've never seen each other again. I wonder how he is doing right now.

Every time I see you, you remind me of him.

I feel alone sometimes in this era.

Miss Ye, I think you really value friendships.

So I believe your friend really misses you, too.

Maybe.

But on the other hand,

you have a husband like Chunyu

and you have a friend like me so how can you be lonely.

Maybe I'm overthinking this.

Maybe you are a genius.

And you just know something that doesn't belong to this era.

End of inspection.

[SIye Temple]

Master Xuannei.

Amitābha, you are back.

And this is?

This is my lost wife, Ye Jiayao.

My honor to meet you.

You got what you wished for, my blessings.

Thank you, venerable master.

Today, I'm here for another issue.

This pattern

is related to the murder of my mother.

If you have any leads, please let me know.

Since it was something that happened over twenty years ago, why are you still hanging on to this?

Then you... must know something.

This is not only related to my mother's murder,

it also concerns our relationship with the country of Ximin.

That murderer not only killed my mother

but he also incited the war between the two countries.

- Master. - I understand.

A monk should not care about the outside world, I was being rude.

Let's go.

Wait... You two come with me.

I remember this painting.

This is the story when Huidu hit a pregnant deer, he developed pity and abandoned his bow to become a monk.

This little deer is you, the mother deer is Princess Hanning, and the hunter is...

Master, you...

Back in those days, I was famous in the Jianghu realm for my steel knife skills.

People called me, "One Touch and the Cold Light Shines," meaning that one swing of my blade could kill a lot of people.

One day, I had this huge contract offer.

They wanted me to go to the far border and kill a woman.

When I arrived, I found out

they wanted me to kill Princess Hanning from the country of Ximin.

Who would have known the Princess was giving birth.

I was planning to kill you both.

But you...

You held my hands and smiled at me.

So you spared my life.

It was your smile that reached my conscience.

But when we got to the countryside, you started to cry.

And I thought about killing you again.

At this time, Great Master Jiren passed by.

He was a master of martial arts and he saved your life.

And he is the one who had me put in the temple.

And gave me a Buddhist name, hoping that Buddha would help me

wash away the sins from my past.

No wonder.

I remember you were in handcuffs and shackles.

You were always silent and the Master would never allow you to be near me.

So you know this pattern well!

That badge pattern belongs to the one who hired me.

I don't remember it as clearly now, but it's pretty much like that.

[Heavenly King Palace Hall]

Sorry.

Stupid Donkey.

I was afraid of him when I was a child. He was always cold and emotionless.

But one time I had smallpox, even my Master said I wouldn't live.

He still took care of me.

Sorry.

Yao Yao, you stay here.

What happened?

Master... Master..

Why did you come back?

Your life is mine. If you are going to die, I will be the one who kills you.

Master... Master!

Master!

Stupid Donkey.

This is all destiny.

The fire happened many years ago.

Was it them?

Yes.

That day I was out begging for food.

When I came back,

the temple was on fire.

I could only see the murderer

holding a folding fan.

"Wuliang Master and Tian Yazi met at Shangshui."

And it was...

Master Wuliang's caligraphy.

What did you just say?

I always wanted avenge Master Jiren, but I couldn't find the murderer.

Until you gave me Bai Chongye's remains,

I realized what that is.

The remains you gave me are in there.

Master...

Master!

Master!

Stupid Donkey, there is nothing here. It's empty.

Madame.

Why are you calling me Madame again?

It's out of habit.

I thought when you married Chunfeng

that would make us family.

I didn't expect your heart to still belong somewhere else.

Madame, you planned all these things; and when your scheme was revealed,

you blamed everything on me.

And now Chunfeng is crippled for life.

Your repentance is meant to be.

If I can't go out, can you alone

challenge Ye Jinxuan?

I don't want any fights.

What are you talking about?

Every time we try to hurt her, we also hurt Xia Chunyu.

Your goal has never changed, but I don't want to be part of it.

You have no right to negotiate with me.

Ye Jinxuan was only a cook.

She's married to the man you love. Don't you hate her for that?

Don't you want to get your revenge?

I want to, but Ye Jinxuan is so lucky.

And I was born a person who has no luck.

So forget about it.

Zhaodi, I really thought wrongly of you.

Stop calling me that.

What? You're not happy? Once you are Zhaodi, for the rest of your life, you remain Zhaodi.

When you were a little girl, you already knew how to

capture the Royal Princess' heart by wearing the dead younger princess' clothes.

Don't you ever forget

how you got here was all done by scheming.

You are wrong. The real princess was like my sister.

That day, I was wearing her clothes to pay her a tribute.

And it was only by accident that Royal Aunt ran into me there.

Then was it also an accident that you told Her Highness, you and her daughter were born at the same time?

That was a lie told by me.

When you made your first mistake, you didn't stop there.

If you had never lied,

Her Royal Highness would not have treated you as the replacement for Princess Liuli.

And if you were Princess Liuli, you wouldn't have to kill anyone.

Zhaodi, what are you doing?

Zhaodi?

We only have Princess Liuli in this place, there's no one here with the name you just called.

Yes, I know you are the princess now.

You know? Then why are you peeling pears in front of Royal Aunt?

You think, peeling pears without breaking the skin is so special?

You think, this is the way you can replace me?

Greedy people... all need to die!

Help!

That's when I knew, you becoming the namesake daughter of Her Highness was not by luck.

You knew how to fight for your future,

but you were just too young to interfere in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Otherwise, how would I have gotten your household record?

Stop it.

Rest assured, as long as you listen to me,

your Royal Aunt will never see that record.

For so many years,

I thought since you were teaching me how to get by in the world of concubines,

you at least had some affection toward me.

You can laugh at me but I saw you as my real mother.

But you, you have always treated me like a tool.

I helped you make connections with Royal Aunt and His Majesty, helped you talk to the East Palace,

and I married your son.

I have done enough.

Zhaodi... you have grown up.

But as long as you live, I will continue to use you.

- I will make you fight for me, steal for me, and take what's mine; otherwise... - Otherwise, what?

You can't even walk a step out of this house. What else can you do?

I suggest you stop the fighting.

You are my master and my mother-in-law, I and Chunfeng will treat you well.

Chunfeng, when did you come back?

What have you heard?

I heard enough.

So Father was not wrong about you, I was just stupid.

Chunfeng, you are not stupid.

You were just being tricked by Xia Chunyu.

He took everything that belonged to us and you still call him brother.

Enough!

You've never talked to me like this.

I did all these things for you my son!

You say it's for me,

but do you know what I was thinking?

Do you know what I really want?

Liuli, let's go.

By the way...

Liuli is my wife now, I will fight for her with all my strength.

You can forget about that household record!

Let's go!

Disobedient son!

- What's wrong with you? - The play is over.

Now you've seen the real me.

I was never the perfect noble princess that's in your heart.

I have so many evil ideas in my heart. You can go and tell on me now.

Why would I do that?

Liuli, I have already told you.

No matter what kind of person you really are, I will always love you.

- Really? - Really.

When I heard that you wanted to drown that little girl,

I felt it was too cruel. But you were so young.

You didn't know how to tell the good from the evil.

Now, you are being threatened by my mother.

I didn't think, that between me and your mother,

you would choose my side.

You stupid girl, we are a couple. We will spend our lives together.

But promise me, you will never hurt my brother and his wife. All right?

This group not only killed Master but they took the things I hid in the temple.

They must want more than just to cover up the evidence of my mother's murder.

What did you hide in the temple?

It was the remains of Bai Chongye.

The Black Wind Fortress was ruined also because of this.

Yao Yao, where is your ring?

What ring?

The ring that I broke and then you repaired, you used to wear it all the time.

I put that away a long time ago. It's not working anyway.

Then you must hide it properly. I don't know why,

but the rare weapon looks just like your ring.
