♫ 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 51]

Then what's the third point?

It's very simple.

Here. The third point.

It's just that you want to be pretty. Be pretty... Be pretty... Be pretty...

In a bit, I'll take you to pick out some clothes.

But I think that if he likes me when I'm a bit ugly, then that means he truly likes me.

Sister, if you can't even make him like you when you're dressed,

- then what about after you undress? - Huh?

I'm going too overboard.

Here. The fourth point.

The fourth point is "Be green tea in the correct times."

I really like to drink green tea.

The significance of this point is to learn how to chat.

To let Little Jing think that you're someone that's like green tea:

A refreshing and cute little girl.

After talking to you, he'll think it's refreshing for him.

- Tell me how to do that in detail. - It's very easy.

According to scientific studies, every day, women

say 20,000 words and men only say 7,000 words.

In a relationship, you have to let your man talk, talk, and talk even more.

And you... you just need three effective phrases and all will be good.

Which three phrases?

It's very simple.

Here. The first phrase.

"So it's like this."

"So it's like this!"

Now be cuter. Here.

"So it's like this."

"So it's like this."

Good, good.

So what exactly is it like?

That's not important. Write it down.

The second phrase is also very simple.

"I'm interested but I don't really understand it very well."

"I'm interested but sadly I don't..."

Your expression, your tone,

your voice, your feelings.

With feeling, with feeling, with feeling!

Here.

"I'm very interested but I don't really understand it very well."

Good, good, good!

If you're playing the dating game, your degree of friendliness is at its fullest now.

Next up.

"You're the most intelligent man I've ever met. Heart for you."

"Heart for you," what does this mean?

It's not important. Here.

"You're the most intelligent man I've ever met. Heart for you."

- That's so good! Yes! - Yes!

You don't need to learn that word. After knowing these three phrases, I promise that you'll talk very nicely all night long.

Next up, let's learn about walking.

Come.

First, look forward.

Tilt your head up.

Stand straight.

Tuck your stomach in.

Butt out.

Push your air down.

Three, two, one... walk.

- Come. - That's easy.

As a female, how can you be so hard?

You have to be much softer.

Your waist, soft. That's right, move it around.

Move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move!

Good, now... Go.

Sister, believe in yourself.

You have no problems. You can do it. You can!

- Yes! - Yes!

Come on.

Move, move, move, move.

Go. Yes, that's good. Yes, beautiful.

I should go out now, right? He has already been waiting for a very long time.

Just wait a moment. Being late is the special right of women.

Give me the sword.

I'm not used to being without my sword.

Please, you're going on a date, not to cut someone up.

Hurry, hurry. Give it to me.

It's about time now. You should go.

Little Jing has already waited to his limit.

- Fighting! - Fighting!

Remember, you must...

- Smile! - Smile?

Smile.

Fighting!

Move around, move around...

Young Sir He Lian, you've waited long.

Anruan?

You're really the most intelligent man I've ever met.

Why am I wearing so little on the inside but then still have to wear this on the outside? Can't I just wear that?

How is that okay? Wearing this,

when you take it off, then it'll be more exciting.

Here, follow me. Look him in the eyes

and no matter how slow you take it off, he will always wait for you.

That's right. Next...

Be more exaggerated.

Perfect.

You---

Are you possessed?

You're the one that's po--

So it's like this.

All right, all right. Let's order. Let's order.

I've already made preparations.

This is the fresh flower cake I just learned how to cook from Miss Yao Yao.

- Also, this is-- - Three shrimp noodles!

It contains shrimp tails, shrimp heads, and shrimp.

You must have spent a lot of time preparing this!

No...

Delicious food can also cause dopamine, it feels just like love.

If you want to keep a man, you must first capture his stomach.

Although this saying is simple and crude, there is some truth to it.

In a bit, bring the fresh flower cake and three shrimp noodles out and say you cooked them.

Thank you, Miss Yao Yao!

Helping you get a boyfriend makes me happy, too.

Whoa! Yao Yao's skills are getting better and better.

How do you know she made it?

What? Did you think I would believe you made this?

Come on, eat more. Once it cools down it won't taste as good.

No. No. No. I am not going to have any.

Because... Because...

I am a girl. So I can't eat too much.

Why not?

I have interest, it is too bad you don't understand.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

You are the smartest man I have ever met.

What's wrong?

What is wrong with me? That should be my question to you.

What's wrong with me? You previously drew me as a dog's head.

What are you doing this time? Did you poison this?

Let me go!

Why did you do this?

You are holding it too hard. It is hurting me.

Let me go.

Anruan!

How did this happen?!

- Xiao Jing! - Don't touch me!

I just knew I shouldn't have come!

He Lianjing! I like you!

He Lianjing, did you hear me?

I didn't add any poison to the food. I really like you.

But I don't like you.

Total failure.

- Get out of the way! - Be careful!

Get out of the way!

Miss Anruan.

Be careful of where you are going. That was really dangerous.

Thank you, Prince Yu.

Since you let me call you Anruan, than why don't you call me Mingyu.

Ming... Mingyu.

You look... like you are not in a good mood.

Actually, I know why you are feeling down.

Is it due to Xiao Jing?

How did you know?

What happened between you two at the restaurant,

even my father, the Emperor, heard.

I guess everyone knows. That's fine. If he is not willing, I won't force him.

Actually, men and women are similar.

In the face of love, they won't say what is truly in their hearts.

What does that mean?

Let me put it a different way... You always say Xiao Jing is your slave.

But do you treat him like a slave?

Then, do you think when he says he doesn't like you, he means it?

Are you saying...

Correct. You need to get the truth out of him.

I don't know. Nothing Miss Yao Yao taught me worked.

Miss Yao Yao is a woman. What she teaches you, may capture you.

But to capture a man, you need to listen to what a man tells you.

You don't believe me? All right, fine.

Wait.

You could even cure smallpox. I believe you have a way.

Do you remember...

That did happen. But using a fight to choose a husband, that has been tried already.

This time is different. With the Emperor there, he wouldn't feel like it was just a child's game.

Let me think about it.

Let me give you an example. On the grassy plains, in order to make the lion

nervous with all the lionesses surrounding him

you must introduce another new lion.

Say Princess Anruan is too much.

Selecting a husband is almost like choosing a concubine.

Who does she think we are?

I can't believe the Emperor granted this.

Princess Anruan is the treasured princess of Ximin.

If you are able to marry her, you'll control Ximin.

So this isn't like choosing a husband,

it's more like choosing the next person to rule as the Crown Prince.

But what if the princess chooses a duke or a general?

For example, that He Lianjing,

I heard... he had a relationship with her.

- Xiao Jing. - Me?

I don't know the princess.

I-I don't know.

The Emperor has arrived.

Greetings to the Emperor.

Fine. You can all rise.

Many thanks to the Emperor.

The kingdom of Ximin and my dynasty are to be joined by marriage

to forever preserve the peace between our countries.

Princess Anruan is unconventional

and I am willing to let her choose her own husband.

Anruan, every marriageable aged prince and young men of noble birth are here.

If you like anyone, you can tell me directly.

Of course. But I have a question.

What if the person I choose doesn't agree to the marriage?

Who would dare to oppose my decree?

Then I can proceed with full confidence.

Chief Eunuch. Let's start.

This competition is broken into two parts, calligraphy and fighting ability.

The calligraphy test starts now.

Anruan, do you see anyone you like?

I don't see a single person I like.

Chief Eunuch.

The calligraphy test is over. The martial arts section will begin.

Wait!

Mingjin?

Greetings to my Imperial Father, the Emperor.

Mingjin, shouldn't you be guarding the border?

Why are you here?

I won a small skirmish. So I am here to bring you the good news.

Excellent. Very good.

This is my 12th son, Prince Mingjin.

He is very young but he has many victories on the battlefield.

Hello.

Greetings to the Princess.

Father, I heard you called my brothers here

to find a husband for the Princess. I haven't married yet,

I wonder if I can also have the chance to try.

Emperor, the calligraphy test is already over.

Wait.

Amongst my sons, some are good at letters, others at martial arts.

But you are supposed to be good at everything.

Can you grant me a favor

and let Prince Jin show his skills.

Yes.

I will try not to embarrass myself.

The back of the bow is as bright as the sunset clouds.

Welcoming the autumn wind, riding one's horse out into the sun.

If I'm unable to take back the lost territory of Huang,

I swear to not turn back and return to my hometown!

What a good verse, "If I'm unable to take back the lost territory of Huang,

I swear to not turn back and return to my hometown!"

Prince Jin, everyone here today is trying to win the Princess.

With you here, one who cares about the country, I'm very pleased about it.

When I was still in the capital before,

Imperial Father taught me that, if there is a country, there will be a home. I have never forgotten this.

Excellent. Very good.

Your Majesty, the next person should be He Lianjing from the General's residence.

Your Majesty, you know I don't have any skills except for eating.

How about I show the Princess how well I eat.

What is he talking about?

Really? You've known Princess Anruan from when you were outside the borders.

Did you not prepare anything else?

That is right. I did no preparation.

Not a problem. I have someone I like already.

Who is it?

It's him.

I knew it! I already told you I don't like you. Are you even a princess?

He Liang, I wasn't pointing at you. I was pointing at the person beside you. His Highness, Prince Yu. Brother Mingyu.

Mingyu.

Imperial Father.

- Princess. - Anruan, are you sure you were pointing at Mingyu before?

That's right, it was Brother Mingyu. He has a valiant look and an imposing manner. I liked him at first glance.

But Mingyu didn't do anything at all.

There is something in this world known as, "Love at First Sight."

Older Brother Mingyu, my Royal Father gave this necklace to me. I'm giving it to you now.

All right, everyone has competed, right? Especially someone who thinks that his self-love has been reciprocated.

You are right. You are only good at eating. Why should I choose you then?

Anruan, since you already have someone in mind,

I'll go back and issue a decree

asking Royal Brother Gemu to come to the capital soon and host your wedding.

Thank you, Imperial Father.

Huh? That fast?

What's wrong? In just a moment, you've become unwilling?

I...

Look at Xiao Jing.

Many thanks to you, Your Majesty.

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

Let me go. What are you doing?

You made me look bad just now. Just choose Prince Yu if you wanted to, but why did you point in my direction?

I was pointing at Prince Yu. You are mistaken.

Prince Yu didn't do anything at all. You should have chosen Prince Jin. Why choose him? Did he tell you something?

What business is that of yours?

You will regret it.

Why would I regret? What's wrong with Prince Yu?

Or... are you jealous?

Why would I be jealous? There's nothing to be jealous about.

Then doesn't this solve it? Didn't you say that you didn't like me?

If I were you, I would go and have a feast now for not being chosen.

You are so stupid? Do you think that choosing your husband is just this simple?

Your Princess of Ximin status is coveted by the princes and will be used as a bargaining chip, don't you know that?

You have been sold to others and you still don't know it?

I'm willing. Brother Mingyu will be the Crown Prince. When he becomes the Emperor later, I will then be the Empress.

You-- Do you really want to be the Empress?

Of course. In the future, when I'm the Empress,

not only will you be my slave, but you will also be my subject, too. You will have to kneel whenever you see me.

Fine!

Stop right there!

Do you still have anything else to say to me?

No. You can talk to Brother Mingyu.

He Lianjing!

Come here.

Young Master, what's wrong?

Isn't this a tattoo? Why is it fading?

It doesn't look like a tattoo.

If this is not a tattoo, what is this then?

I don't know.

I don't care whether you know or not. Go and find the exact paint for me now.

- All right. - Go now.

Xiao Jing, what are you doing?

Older Brother, I wasn't doing anything. I...

was looking at the moon. The moon is really pretty tonight, right?

Older Brother.

Princess Anruan gave that to you, right?

No, it wasn't her. How could it be her? Stop speculating, Older Brother.

Xiao Jing, I saw you two being intimate out in the street today.

Brother, that was not being intimate. I really am not...

I don't care what you call it but let me warn you. Don't associate with the Princess again.

Why not?

She's going to marry Prince Yu soon. Understand?

No, it's not what you think. She doesn't like Mingyu. She and Mingyu--

Shut up. I thought that you had matured when you came back. Why are you still as immature as in the past?

I don't care what games you and Her Highness the Princess are playing,

but the current Prince Yu is determined to obtain the Crown Prince position.

If you still block his path, there will only be one path left for the He family, and that is death.

Prince Yu is using her.

So what? A gentleman doesn't go back on his words.

I can't allow Anruan to marry someone who is not sincere toward her.

Stop!

Xiao Jing.

When Prince Yu got deposed, just to prevent our He Lian Manor from getting dragged into trouble,

I sided with the now deposed Crown Prince, Zheng Mingxie.

But things change as time passes. Who would have expected that the Prince Yu of before who hadn't accomplished anything,

would become the most favored person of HIs Majesty right now?

Do you know that, in order to regain his trust again, I had to make a lot of effort?

Older Brother, this...

If you block Prince Yu's path because of personal feelings,

you're disregarding the safety of our He Lian clan.

Impossible, Brother. Why would our He Lian family get dragged into trouble?

Did you forget that Her Royal Highness is a member of the He family, too?

The Princess Royal is very sick. She may not live long.

Xiao Jing,

I know that your path of love hasn't been smooth.

But there is nothing that you can do.

I think you should be mentally prepared to accept its loss again.

Enough.

I'm sorry.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

I don't really like Anruan. You know that I still like Big Yao Yao.

It's good that you have seen through this. Let me tell you.

As subjects, what's most important is going with the flow of things. Good, then.

Older Brother.

What now?

I may not understand the affairs of state; but as subjects,

what's most important is not only being loyal to His Majesty. It's for his people to be happy.

You're continuously calculating which prince to place your stake on,

- is that really right? - You--

I know, Older Brother. I will never see Anruan again. All right?

Anruan!

What's wrong? The ice shavings that Sister Yao Yao made today, does it not taste good?

Older Sister Yao Yao.

What's wrong?

It's really not tasty. Especially not tasty.

I already ate a few servings of ice shavings,

but none of them had the flavor of He Lianjing's.

Be good. There's nothing wrong with the ice shavings.

It's the person instead. What's wrong between him and you?

Prince Yu said that you will only treasure what you have lost.

As long as I chose him to be my husband in front of His Majesty,

He Lianjing would say that he liked me.

But I've waited for a long time now and he hasn't come.

Does he really not like me?

So, you chose Prince Yu?

Yes, but it was pretend, Brother Chunyu,

I'm not really going to marry Prince Yu and be his Royal Consort, right?

Although Prince Yu is a nice person, I like He Lianjing instead.

A king never lies. How can you be so stupid?

This won't do. I'm going to find Prince Yu and take back my necklace.

You can't do that.

Because of Prince Yu's meticulous scheming, His Majesty has made him your betrothed.

Do you think you can still retrieve your necklace?

What should we do, Stupid Donkey?

It's not like there isn't any solution. There's recent news from the palace.

The Princess Royal is severely ill and is about to die.

Hence, I think that the decree for granting the marriage

won't be coming out all that soon.

I will help you to think of a solution.

Anruan can't be fully blamed for this.

His Majesty said that she could choose whomever she wanted.

His Majesty wanted to fulfil Anruan's wish

but it doesn't mean that Anruan can casually change her wish now.

That day in the Imperial garden, His Majesty was so happy,

since Prince Yu is his chosen Crown Prince.

Prince Mingyu

is using Anruan as insurance.

Hey, how about we look for your uncle. Doesn't he follow whatever his daughter wants?

He definitely wouldn't allow Anruan to marry like that.

Of course, my uncle can apply some pressure

but he can be unreasonable in regards to this matter.

If we want to force this, His Majesty will definitely give face to my uncle.

But you must know that between the Empire and Ximin

is the life of Prince Yu.

If we don't handle this matter well, it will become a very big problem.

There will be war, right? I know.

But we can't let Anruan sacrifice herself either.

I know. Why don't we learn from the television dramas? Just like Huanzhu Gu Gu, they can elope.

I say those television dramas in your world, have you gone stupid from watching all those?

What kind of games from those television dramas have brainwashed you until you are in this state?

Don't you know? Television drama is a kind of--

Stop. Come back.

Oh, all right.

In fact, that collection is also a branch of the TV series, Huanzhu Gu Gu--

Restraining myself.

I think all the other princes knew the deep meaning

behind the granting of the marriage in the Imperial garden.

They don't want Prince Yu to marry Anruan either.

Anyway, for this matter, as long as the imperial decree hasn't been announced yet,

there is still a chance to reverse it.

Your Majesty, don't be sad.

I will be going over to that place soon

to see my husband and daughter.

You must be happy for me.

I want to see Royal Aunt. I want to see Royal Aunt. I want

- to see Royal Aunt. - Who is shouting out there?

Your Majesty, it's Princess Liuli.

She has been kneeling out there for several hours.

Tell her that Her Royal Highness doesn't want to see her. Tell her to leave.

Yes.

Wait.

Let her come in.

Royal Sister.

She is someone whom I have doted on for a long time.

I have many things to tell her.

Your Majesty, please leave first.

All right. I will wait outside.

Call me anytime if you need me.

Yes.

Royal Aunt.

You finally agreed to see me.

You will definitely recover.

I have been hearing this a lot.

- I don't want to listen to it anymore. - No.

I'm telling the truth. You will definitely get better.

Just like in the past.

You will definitely get through this.

If my daughter was still alive,

would she be sad just like you?

Royal Aunt, I'm your daughter.

Although I call you "Aunt"

I have already regarded you as my biological mother.

No.

You are not my biological daughter.

Although you resemble her,

you were not born on the same day.
