♫ 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 50]

I came here to tell you, from tonight I will be sleeping in the study.

Why?

No, I want you to be here with me.

No.

I'm afraid my presence will affect your mood.

I'm afraid you won't get enough rest.

You should call Xiaoya to be here.

Xiaoya will not come here.

Why not?

She is old enough, she can't be here with me forever.

I betrothed her to the son of an official from the Household Bureau.

It's a nice family. She will be married in a few days.

You just can't tolerate her anymore, can you?

Or is it she knows too much about you?

What do you mean by that?

What's the harm in her getting married?

Or is it you don't want to see her leave?

Tell me.

Xia Chunfeng, stop right there!

Explain this.

Don't be angry. It's bad for your health.

Xiaoya's marriage is up to you.

You can deal with her as you like.

It's how you do things anyway.

I sincerely beg Your Majesty, to decree the Royal Princess rescind her order.

You may get up first.

If Your Majesty won't promise to fulfill my request, I will stay here.

Then are you threatening me?

I wouldn't dare.

Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jing'an, is the nephew of Ximin Kingdom's new ruler.

He has a huge responsibility in keeping a peaceful relationship between the two countries.

If either couple has any unexpected misfortune,

it is something huge. Please give it a second thought.

The elder couple was the reason why Liuli lost her baby, what does that have to do with the Ximin Kingdom?

Even though Xia Chunyu is from the royal family of Ximin,

both of them are my official subjects.

Of course, they will obey my rules.

Drop this matter right now.

Imperial Father.

Although Madame Xia made a mistake,

she has now been punished.

Mingyu, I always have to remind you.

I know, you have a close relationship with Xia Chunyu.

But if you want to achieve great things, you have to see further than the present

and know right from wrong. Being sentimental is not helping.

But what you like about me

is my sentiment, isn't it?

If I was ruthless like the last Crown Prince,

I wouldn't care about the nobleman's feelings.

How dare you!

Zheng Mingyu, do you know what a decisive time this is?

You are ruining your future for those two?

I wouldn't dare to assume what's in Your Majesty's mind.

But I and the Xia couple have been through so much.

I will kneel down with them until the Royal Princess forgives us.

So disgraceful. Leave!

I will leave for now.

Your Majesty, calm your anger.

This Mingyu, arguing with me over such a small matter.

In the future, how can I hand over the country to him?

But I think Prince Yu has a point.

What are you saying?

I made a mistake, please forgive me!

Get up, I know what you mean.

Mingyu is a kind person by nature.

He has the heart of an innocent child.

After all, that's much better than those people who only care about scheming.

Yes, Your Majesty, now that the country is stable.

As long as Prince Yu stays kind and works hard, he will make a great emperor.

I shouldn't be talking about politics, I will slap myself.

Stop it. It's all right.

I know, you only speak up for him because you like him.

Go now.

Ask the Royal Princess to issue the order, tell her that I want this.

I will abide.

Yao Yao!

Yao Yao!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Where is Yao Yao?

Did something happen to her? I will go beg my father again.

No, there has just been an order from the palace.

The Royal Princess has already forgiven them.

That's good.

Then did she wake up? Did you ask the doctor to come?

Go now and see to it!

Yes.

Your Highness, I have changed the prescription.

You can take the medicine once a day for six days.

Okay. Okay. For all this, I don't expect to see any change.

No need to waste your mindfulness on me.

How is the Princess?

The Princess is doing quite well.

I'm not asking that.

A child's life... it depends on luck.

What luck? Help me up.

I just need to know for sure.

Can she still get pregnant?

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

I cannot lie.

I just don't understand!

She is so young and it was just a tumble.

It's all right that she lost this one baby.

But why can't she get pregnant again?

There are so many reasons.

Then it's your problem!

You have been responsible for her since she became pregnant.

If the child was in some danger, why didn't you report it?

You are the head of the Imperial clinic.

I don't believe you were not capable of this position!

Who is behind you?

Your Highness, please take care.

I have been taking care of the Princess since she was a little girl.

I treat her like my own child, I would never hurt her.

Please understand this.

Fine. Since you won't tell me the truth,

then I don't want to see you again.

I'm telling you the whole truth.

Your Highness, please trust me!

Take him away. Put him in prison, and make him a slave!

No, Your Highness!

The princess's miscarriage had nothing to do with me!

The princess never allowed me to see her.

What are you talking about?

The princess never allowed me to check on her.

She just ordered me to tell everyone that she was pregnant.

And then told me that I didn't need to do anything other than

announce that her child was in danger.

I really don't know what was in her mind.

That day it was Liuli who insisted and stepped on my dress and fell down.

You are saying that in order to frame you

Liuli intentionally lost her baby?

Get out.

Much gratitude to you, Your Highness.

You... Go find her servant Xiaoya

and bring her to me. Don't tell anyone about this.

Yes.

[Prince Yu's Manor]

Madame, be careful.

- Madame... - No need to keep following me around.

I'm perfectly well.

Yao Yao.

Put the wine down.

This...

Yao Yao, why are you here? You all right?

I'm all right, I only have some injuries on my knees.

Everywhere else is good, see.

I can even dance and rap--

Okay, okay, sit here.

Here.

I'm telling you, I've wanted to see you for a long time.

But with your husband being so jealous, I had to wait for you to come and see me!

Of course, I needed to see you, too.

You are my life saver.

That is too much.

Come here, drink some wine.

You still have injuries on your knees. No drinking.

Don't be acting like Stupid Donkey, he doesn't know any better.

You are a researcher at least.

Alcohol helps your blood circulation, I should be drinking more.

Okay.

Let's drink some.

You... be honest. Did you sneak out?

Bottoms up first!

Now I know, who really treats me better.

What do you mean by this?

If it weren't for you, I would have already died in the palace.

Come, drink!

Drink!

Come, one more!

You see, all gone!

Good!

It's a pity I met you after you got married.

These old sayings.

I understand them much better when I'm in ancient times.

If it weren't for Xia Chunyu,

and if it weren't for him being my best friend,

I would marry you.

Really?

There shouldn't be any more time travelers in this world.

We are the only people who get each other.

I don't know if there are any other travelers.

But our relationship, from modern times to now,

even in the whole universe, there is no relationship like ours.

Yes, totally!

Maybe we should go back to Black Wind Fortress.

Let's find the ring and go back.

Go back to modern times together, wouldn't that be great?

Can we still find it?

What if I could?

Maybe we shouldn't bother.

What do you mean?

Yao Yao, do you like me?

I actually have another ring.

What did you say?

I have another ring.

Zheng Mingyu!

You finally admitted it!

You two lied to me together!

Yes, modern person, what else do you want to say?

So you told him.

We have no secrets.

This is the big secret you wanted to tell me?

Now, you understand?

If you don't understand,

you can just imagine this as "A Chinese Ghost Story."

My soul is inside Ye Jinxuan's body.

Are you scared of me now? Think I'm a monster?

You think I'm Xu Xian?

We are much better than them.

There is a thousand years between our times and we still met each other.

This is a gift from the gods.

I don't mind that you are a time traveler or whatever.

Or even a monster.

You are my Yao Yao.

Stupid Donkey.

Good girl, no more tears.

Now I finally understand

your words on that lamp.

"I'm not afraid to live in the morning and die by night time. I just wish that two hearts will beat as one."

You were afraid you might have to go back to your time one day, right?

Then listen to me, from now on you will not leave my eyesight.

We will both get what we want

and we will be together forever.

I promise you

I will be wherever you are.

Ye Jiayao, I trusted you!

Yao Yao, you should go back now.

But...

This is between us men, let us deal with this.

Rest assured.

Okay.

Since when did you start to doubt me?

The reason you sent me to Black Wind Fortress was to find a rare weapon.

You pretended to lose your memory so you could stay with me.

It was also to keep yourself alive.You killed my Master Xuan Nie

and lead me to Huang Wenzhen.

But at the same time, you told Meng Yun to release Huang Wenzhen.

You just wanted me to harm Zheng Mingxie.

You always wanted to be the emperor.

And I...

You used me so many times and you lied so many times.

You only have theories, where's the proof.

Because the Tianying Gang have different emblems, that's the proof.

And you are a time traveler, what else do you want to say?

I have nothing to explain.

To the end, it's the ring. You want me to give it to you.

You should know the symbol of the Tianying Gang.

That ridiculous time traveler theory.

You can't do anything about it. I am once again, Prince Yu.

The Crown Prince position is within my grasp.

So this. If you want it, you can take it.

You think you can atone for all your sins with this?

Then how about all those dead people?

Chunyu, I did lie to you.

But I have a real relationship with you.

This thing is very important, but it's not as important as you!

If you can forget about the past, I will abide by my promise.

The world will be yours and mine.

And Yao Yao's. We can share it all!

To share the world with someone like you, I can't!

So you want revenge.

Should I not?

For whom?

For Bai Chongye? For Xuan Nie?

One of them killed your Teacher and the other killed your mother.

I killed them both and that makes me the sinner?

Even if they had blood on their hands,

that doesn't mean you did the right thing!

I did something that you couldn't do.

Is that my fault? Huh?

You think about how I risked everything to save you. Is that fake, too?

I knelt down in front of the Emperor. Is that fake, too?

Do you have to kill me?

Then can you forgive me just like them?

Maybe you won't believe me.

As I crossed the time travel line, your friend Zheng Mingyu was hanging himself.

His last words were

if he could live one more time, he wanted to live his life differently.

Do you understand that?

If you only know how to be nice, people will only disrespect you!

What did Prince Yu want to do? He wanted to do good for the people.

In order for him to do good, he had to become the Emperor!

Why don't you believe me? I have something that this world doesn't have.

I only want to be a good ruler!

I didn't do this for other people.

I was completing Zheng Mingyu's last wi--

Don't mention his name again!

All right.

Kill me. I'm dead already.

If it weren't for you saving me all the time. I'd already be dead.

But, Chunyu, I want to tell you,

the best moment in my whole life,

was when the Crown Prince fell from power.

Me, you, and your wife drinking and playing.

I was really happy.

Kill me now.

I know you can't do it.

You can't bear to kill me and you can't bear to use the flute I gave to you.

This flute has nothing to do with you.

This flute was sent by my best friend, Zheng Mingyu.

You are just a ghost in his body.

A cunning stranger!

Chunyu...

You are my best friend in my whole life. From modern time to ancient time.

For thousands of years, you are my only friend.

From today, we are no longer friends.

When we meet again, you are my enemy.

Actually, when I was in Black Wind Fortress, I had suspicions about him.

Mingyu was a noble person and had a great heart.

No matter what he did, I knew he wanted to do good.

But today, I found out

my best friend, Zheng Mingyu,

has been dead for years.

I think he really has some feelings for us.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given you the box back.

I hope he can change who he is.

Otherwise, I won't let him pass next time.

I don't know if I am Prince Yu, but you can't take my friend away.

Take him down!

Chunyu, your arm!

Your Highness.

Chunyu, you are alive!

I came too late.

I have made such a big mistake and you can forgive me.

If I've made other mistakes, will you forgive me, too?

What else can you have done?

Your Highness, I will go ask the doctor right away.

No need.

I know my body.

You can all leave now.

What is it?

Princess Liuli has been here many times.

As usual, tell her I'm asleep.

But...

Go.

She is asleep again?

I will come tomorrow then.

I think, maybe Princess shouldn't come.

Why not?

It's Her Highness' decision, I shouldn't interpret.

Wait a moment.

Please tell Royal Aunt,

that from now on, whether it's raining or windy,

I will wait here every day until she is willing to see me.

Princess, Your Highness, I can't take this.

Wait!

[Heavenly Dining Hall]

Sister Yao Yao, what are you making now?

Today, I'm making a flower cake; it's from the Yunnan province.

Wow, you can eat flowers?

Of course, you can't eat them straight away.

You have to make them into rose jam.

You take out the center of the flower, wash the petals then dry.

Then you mix them with honey.

It becomes this. Have a taste.

This smells really good.

Tasty, right?

To make this flower cake, there are some tricks.

You have to roll out the dough.

The first step is

we have to roll out an oily wrap skin.

This flour wrap skin is very difficult.

You have to use the flower soaked water to mix with the dough.

This makes the wrap smell like roses.

Then you add butter and fold in some sugar.

Then cover it with a cloth and let it sit for an hour.

Then roll it out. The wrap skin has no water in it,

so you use butter to roll it. Then let it sit for an hour.

Then you take a small piece and roll it into a strip.

Then roll it again and repeat a couple more times.

Then you mix in the jam with some sticky rice flour.

Lower the fire way down and use the remaining heat in the oven to bake it.

That's how you make the delicious flower cake.

Sounds very nice. I want to learn it!

All right!

That's nice. You are talented.

Really?

Sister Yao Yao, I heard that Brother Chunyu refused to marry the Princess.

Is it because of the dishes you cook?

Sort of.

Then since I'm so talented,

can you teach me all your secrets?

Of course.

No... Do you have someone in mind and you want to cook for?

I... don't!

Oh, okay then... Let me guess.

Maybe he is...

I don't like He Lianjing at all!

He is just my slave!

I said nothing, but you admitted to all of it!

I...

This... I don't want to talk to you.

It's all right if you like him; just admit it.

Do you feel like...

you are out of breath, your body temperature rises,

your forehead sweats, and you blush every time you see him?

You also feel like you're choking, feeling dizzy, and so on? The normal falling-in-love symptoms?

Yes, I have.

That's right.

So you can't just call him a slave, it will scare him away.

He can't leave. I have my stamp on him, on his chest.

Then, I guess he would run even faster. How long haven't you seen him?

Many, many days.

With this way of flirting with guys, you would lose all your points and be out of the game.

What do you mean?

It means you are chasing him wrong.

I am the Princess of Ximin, why do I need to chase him?

Yes, you are right.

But you like him.

You said it yourself.

You want to choose your own husband. Do you have any other candidates?

If he resists, I can ask His Majesty to betroth him to me.

That's too boring.

Let me tell you. Your Older Brother Chunyu fell into my trap.

At first I chased him everywhere and in the end, I couldn't push him away.

Don't you think that's more satisfying?

Like for example.

Do you like the food you cook for yourself?

So you are the Princess of Ximin, and I'm Flirt Master Yao Yao.

Come here. The first rule in chasing a guy:

Respect his routine.

Yes. When we talk about respecting his routine...

Your writing is so weird.

Not important. Here.

The second rule of our routine: make a connection.

Make a connection.

Actually, the first rule is done.

Do you know how Miss Bai trapped Xu Xian? (Legendary love story of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen)

She borrowed an umbrella from him. And when you borrow something, you need to give it back.

Now you have a connection.

But I don't think it's the best move.

The best move is to owe him money.

The more the better.

Now he will chase you everywhere.

Then tomorrow I will borrow ten thousand taels of gold.

I'm just giving you an example.

You see, you and Xiao Jing have this bracelet.

It's like, I and Chunyu have a ring.

Your connection was set up a long time ago.

Oh, then, what's the third rule?

Very simple.

Come. The third rule is:

be pretty.

Be pretty. Be pretty. Be pretty. Be pretty.

I will make you some clothes later.

But I think if I m ugly and he still likes me, that's true love.

Sister, if you can't make him like you with clothes on,

how can he like you when you take off the clothes.
