Episode 2

Are you going to place it or not?

A complete stick of incense has burnt out.

Greetings, Your Majesty!

Greetings, Your Majesty!

No regret about a placed chess piece.

Third Prince,

wouldn't it be a bit disgraceful for you

to play with such a rummy trick?

Playing chess is just like leading an army for a fight.

The essence of military strategy is to be ever-changing and unpredictable.

You lose!

Alright!

You mentioned His Majesty just now.

I was wondering if you have any idea

why His Majesty visited the Imperial Kitchen

so frequently in recent days?

So there are things in Tai Chen Palace

that you don't know.

Yeah!

Quite a lot!

I can tell you the things

about His Majesty.

What about Lord Cheng Yu?

Let's exchange what we know. I'm all ears now.

OK.

Do you know that

His Majesty has fallen in love with cooking skills recently?

Cooking skills?

What a hobby it is for His Majesty!

I suppose His Majesty

must have extraordinary cooking skills.

Not quite!

His Majesty's cooking skills

must be surprisingly stunning!

No Emperors in history ever stepped into the kitchen.

His Majesty is so outstanding.

But it is indeed his style.

The lotus flower will bloom

in a few days.

The Emperor wants everyone to gather at Tai Chen Palace

and discuss the scriptures together.

We'll be able to

observe His Majesty's cooking skills by then.

However,

we need to wait for some more days.

But His Majesty has invited me

to Tai Chen Palace

to have a taste in advance.

How about you going together with me

so that you can have a try

of His Majesty's cooking beforehand?

Thank you for that, Third Prince!

No problem!

I should be thankful to you.

Let's go!

Thank me?

Si Ming was so excited to

have tasted His Majesty's cooking

that he passed out!

I didn't want him to come, but he insisted.

Look how impolite you are

in front of His Majesty!

I'm so speechless to you!

Come and help!

Don't you know His Majesty's cooking?

Don't just stand there and watch!

Guards!

Hurry up!

Help Si Ming stand up!

So the early bird does catch the worm.

I surprisingly came across His Majesty early in the morning!

He...

He...

He smiled.

What are you looking at?

His Majesty just smiled.

Who's got the bad luck?

Bad luck?

Just remember

nothing good will happen

if His Majesty smiles.

No way!

That's not true for someone as good as His Majesty.

Go!

You'll get scolded if you don't wait on them.

Si Ming!

Si Ming!

Poisonous! Poisonous!

Si Ming!

Third Prince!

We've been on good terms

for hundreds of thousands of years.

Why would you harm me like this?

Si Ming,

you have to go to hell.

See?

Si Ming deserves to be the NO. 1 follower

under the King of Longevity from the south pole.

He is greatly discerning and apprehending

and can deliver all living creatures from torment.

Third Prince,

His Majesty only invited you.

It suddenly occurred to me that I haven't finished my Buddhist scriptures yet,

so I need to go back for that.

Don't spoil His Majesty's lotus banquet.

Eh...

Cheng...

Cheng Yu!

Cheng Yu!

I need to check out Cheng Yu's Book of Fate.

I'll check it carefully.

Check it out! Check it out!

Lift up your spirit!

June 15th is a day off.

Every corner of the palace

must be thoroughly cleared.

You!

Go to the tea garden and pick all the tea leaves!

Yes!

You!

Clean up the pavilions in the corridor!

Yes!

You clean up the side palace.

Yes!

Side palace

is the living palace for Princess Zhihe.

What's coming will come!

Let's go!

Why do you come so late?

Even the side palace of the Tai Chen Palace

is so elegantly decorated!

His Majesty has set up

every corner of the Tai Chen Palace.

Of course, it is elegant and beautiful!

His Majesty is indeed good at everything.

What are you waiting for?

Send this Mufeng Butterfly inside.

Mufeng Butterfly?

Zhe Yan ever said that

this kind of butterfly usually dances in the wind

and it creates hurricane once it touches water.

Take it now!

Sister,

we're new here.

The Mufeng Butterfly is really something we can't control.

If anything bad happens and offends the Princess,

you will be implicated in it.

Do as you're requested!

You may not be familiar with it now,

but you'll naturally become familiar

after a few more times.

Take it and leave!

Yes!

Why could you accept it?

It is obviously a hot potato handed to you

as nobody else wants it.

Don't worry!

I used to catch butterflies in my hometown when I was little.

I'm fine with it.

It's a piece of cake.

I've climbed up the Sky Kingdom.

This won't be a challenge to me.

It's dust everywhere

and it stinks.

What if foster brother visits my palace?

Spray some flower dew!

Yes!

Why is the Mufeng Butterfly still not delivered yet?

Here it comes!

Go now!

You should only pay back the favor.

Don't ever expose your identity

as the Princess of Qingqiu.

Who are you?

Please forgive me, Your Highness!

It's my fault

not to have taken care of it well.

Please forgive me!

So careless you were!

It almost hurt the Her Highness.

There is no room for you in Tai Chen Palace!

Mercy please, Your Highness!

Please have mercy on me!

Raise up your head!

Foster brother has asked us

to treat the fairy maids in palace with generosity.

So your punishment is to clean up the lotus pond.

Get your personality ground.

Her Highness is merciful.

Take your punishment and leave!

Yes!

Thank you, Your Highness!

Excuse me please!

Butterfly!

How miserable you are!

It's so unlucky of you

to get implicated into this undeserved catastrophe.

Alright!

We're sort of destined.

Wait a minute!

I'll find some tools

before I apply the medicine for you.

This one it is!

It is itchy, isn't it?

I have been...

the No. 1 troublemaker in Qingqiu since I was young.

I always get my buddies injured.

As a result,

I have acquired the techniques for medicine application.

This is my voice of experience.

Done!

Gosh!

His Majesty's stuff

must be returned in intact condition.

What do I do now?

I've got an idea.

A good brush pen can be made

with the softest fur at the tip of the nine-tailed fox.

It's said that Your Majesty made

all the tea set that he uses daily by himself.

Besides,

he is good at the four arts

and he is a rarely elegant scholar.

All the incenses burned in the Tai Chen Palace

are made by him in person.

No one in the Sky Kingdom

can imitate him.

I got that.

You helped me only because

you don't want me to give myself away in front of His Majesty, right?

Thank you!

Now even the smell is the same as that of here.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

You're usually calm!

Why are you so panicked today?

Your Majesty!

I've got news about Meng Hao.

He's been missing for so many years.

Where did he go?

Baishui Mountain!

The Baishui Mountain at the southern suburb of the demons?

Yes!

Come out!

Don't you recognize my sword?

Greeting from Meng Hao, Your Majesty!

Rise!

Why did you end up like this?

Your Majesty,

the previous Chi Demon Lord used his Queen as a bait

to trap me in Baishui Mountain.

They impaled my bones with dragon-hunt lock

and sealed my power.

I guarded the cinnamomum camphora in the pond year in and year out.

I don't believe it

considering your magic arts.

Love is deeply rooted

into my bones.

My cultivation is not enough

to help me through this tragic romance.

It is my own willingness

to be trapped here.

Your own willingness?

You don't have to do that.

I was seduced by the demons.

I feel guilty to Your Majesty,

so I'm willing to stay here as an atonement

for my guilt.

If it bothered me,

I wouldn't have come.

Please allow me to stay, Your Majesty!

Is there anything

you're still concerned about?

I

dare not to hold anything back from Your Majesty.

I do have some concerns.

Is it worth it?

It is a destined tragedy

in the eyes of others,

but it's as sweet as candies

to me.

Your Majesty is most concerned about the people in general in the world

and never get indulged in personal romance.

So it's hard for Your Majesty to understand the feeling in it.

If so,

I'll leave you to it.

Conduct yourself well in future.

Wherever I am, you can find me.

Here you are!

Take the fruit and make some tea with it.

Even though Your Highness cultivates water magic,

this fruit is cold in property,

so it's better for you not to eat too much of it.

As you wish then.

The Demon Lord summons you.

Brother!

Why does he summon me so suddenly?

The demon officer who spread the word said there was something important.

Alright then!

I'm going to the Chihong Hall.

Mind your words

when you visit Ji Heng.

Don't get me embarrassed.

Sure!

I've been studying the four arts for a long time.

This time, I have to win Ji Heng's affection.

I believe I can do it!

I...

Who is it?

Nie Chuyin!

Yes, I am!

Your Highness,

calm down!

Wait a minute!

What are you doing here?

Are you into Ji Heng as well?

Your Highness,

I am Mr. Nobody!

I dare not to covet Her Highness.

That's more like it.

Prepare the necklace that I'll give Ji Heng as a gift.

Yes!

The Princess is not in the palace.

How do you know?

You're very familiar with Ji Heng's whereabouts.

What's your intention?

Your Highness,

I don't dare to have any intention

with your presence.

It was the Demon Lord who asked me to find the Princess,

but I didn't even meet her.

Fine! Then I'm going to Chihong Hall now.

Brother!

Brother! Are you looking for me?

Heng,

do you know the Emperor Dong Hua?

Emperor Dong Hua?

Everyone knows him!

Why do you ask?

I want you

to get engaged with him.

What?

You want to marry Ji Heng

to Dong Hua?

Heng,

this arrangement is critically important.

It determines the future of the demons.

Think it over before you give my any replies.

Anyway, only my sister can be matched

with a husband as noble as him.

Xu Yang,

you don't even care about

the marriage of your sister!

Yan Chiwu,

this is the domestic affair for my clan.

It's none of your business.

You!

Xu Yang,

I... I am a demon lord after all.

Marrying Ji Heng to me

is also for the sake of overall interests.

If you do it otherwise,

I'll rise in rebellion.

Overall interest goes first!

Overall interest goes first!

When can the cleaning be finished

without using magic arts?

Here comes His Majesty!

So long, Your Majesty!

Off you go!

Your Majesty!

Yu Ru!

Jiu, you're just too ignorant.

How dare you stand in front of the Princess!

Foster brother!

Foster brother!

You're finally back!

Foster brother!

The Heavenly King endowed me with a Kuwu Qin the other day.

The Shang string and Zhi string always have some sort of flaws.

I hope you can help me with this.

It's still early now.

I'm fine to check it out!

Don't try to covet my foster brother

with your good look.

I know what you're thinking in your heart.

You're so rude and obtrusive

and you offended His Majesty!

Get out of the palace now!

Guards!

Zhihe!

Foster brother!

I'll come in a minute.

I don't have time for you now.

If you are able to clean up the Bodhi tree leaves by the pond in today,

I'll allow you to stay.

Foster brother!

Wait for me!

Go!

How ridiculous!

How dare you irritate the Princess!

Intentional obstruction!

That's outrageous!

So, you got any ideas?

You're awesome!

Your Highness,

the yard is cleaned up.

Shall we release Jiu back?

So soon?

Jiu!

Your Highness!

I gave you the chance out of mercy,

but you just loafed on the job.

And you used the Mufeng Butterfly.

So it should be your accomplice.

Guards!

Flog them in the buttocks for 20 times each

and drive them out of palace.

Yes, Your Highness!

Let me go!

I've already cleaned up the yard

as requested by the Princess.

Why do you drive me out?

Bizarre wind blows everywhere.

How can you make it clean?

Your Highness have been in the palace the whole time.

How do Your Highness know there is bizarre wind everywhere?

Stop the far-fetched defense!

Verbal resistance is another conviction.

You'll be punished with both convictions.

That's 40 times of flogging on the buttock.

Let me go!

And what kind of immortal realm creature

Let me go!

is this Mufeng Butterfly?

The Mufeng Butterfly is innocent.

Please have mercy, Your Highness!

I must banish it to the mortal realm

and let it cultivate from the start.

Mufeng Butterfly did nothing.

Why did you do that?

It looks like this girl

just wants to work against me today.

This is intolerable!

Who is making so much noise here?

I heard a lot of noise

that disturbed His Majesty's rest.

So I came here to check out,

only to find that it is Your Highness!

It's not my intention to disturb the foster brother's rest,

but this fairy maid is just too annoying!

It made me so angry!

Don't tell foster brother about this.

Now that the fairy maid is unfamiliar with the manners,

ground her into the Imperial Kitchen to repent

about her own guilt.

Eh...

Leave now!

What about Mufeng...

Go!

Leave now!

Yes!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

It's too late at night.

Please take a rest for the day!

You!

What a pity for the Mufeng Butterfly!

It did nothing wrong.

Zhihe is to blame for this.

She beat the butterfly nowhere!

Forget it!

The sorrowless flower has bloomed.

Sorrowless! Sorrowless!

It matches so well with the occasion.

I should make a wish.

I wish Tai Chen Palace

can stay sorrowless and disaster-free

and always remain beautiful.

Prayer is done.

You can't be wasted, right?

Something seems to be missing.

Yushi Flower Root,

East Sea Rime,

and the Zijin Honeydew!

This is more like it.

Hurry! Hurry up!

Get moving!

Jiu, get out of the way!

His Highness Lian Song and Si Ming

are coming to the palace to discuss the scriptures with His Majesty.

It's not common for His Majesty to hold a banquet in the palace to enjoy the flowers.

We should be careful

not to spoil it.

Yes!

Third Prince and Si Ming came here

to enjoy flowers and discuss scriptures.

I'm taking out the frosted liquor that was brewed many years ago in particular.

Hope you don't mind my lousy brewing skill.

Frosted liquor is refreshing and turns bitterness into sweetness.

It's uncommon among fairies

to have such an elegant taste.

Zhihe,

I heard that you formally acknowledged the Doumu Lord as your master.

Do you have any gain?

I do have some gain.

The scroll given by my foster brother yesterday

matches very well with my heartfelt emotion.

These two people

have met

or haven't met.

They miss each other.

They miss each other so deep

that even death won't tear them apart.

Serve the sweet and sour fish.

It is made with a new cooking skill.

Try it!

It's so shameful that

I forgot myself

when I tried this sweet and sour fish

for the first time.

I went into meditation right where I was before I even sat down

and perceived the truth to a lot of problems that puzzled me in the past.

It's hard to forget

in retrospect.

How about Third Prince having a try first today

so that you could teach me to taste

the Thoughts of Zen from His Majesty.

You flattered me.

I've tried it once.

It was impressive.

It's unnecessary to try it twice.

I smoked it with sandalwood.

It must taste differently.

Third Prince,

please!

Exaggerating!

Amazing!

Amazing?

This dish you made is indeed delicious.

You are the only one in the Sky Kingdom

who has such an extraordinary skill.

What do you think of it, Third Prince?

This Glass fish

smells fishy in the first place.

After smoked by sandalwood,

it's both bitter and fishy.

This is as bad

as how it is in my heart.

I've gotta think about

Your Majesty's meaning behind it.

Where are the desserts?

Serve the Third Prince with some desserts.

Yes, Your Highness!

What are you waiting for?

Hurry! Hurry!

Where is the almond cake?

Make it quick!

Here it goes! Here it goes!

Help me with this.

Hurry up!

Coming!

OK!

Help me serve this.

Don't make it too cold.

Jiu, serve the dishes!

Move! Move!

But I can't go out.

What are you waiting for? Go!

This is really a blessing in disguise!

I can finally see His Majesty!

Oh my god!

I screwed up this time!

Jiu served it!

The desert hasn't come yet.

Please allow me to check it out.

Please wait a second, foster brother and you all.

Your Highness!

Why are you here

but not in the Imperial Kitchen to repent?

There is not enough manpower in the Imperial Kitchen

and they are afraid to keep the guests waiting for too long,

so I'm appointed to serve the dessert.

Leave it!

I'll take over from here.

You get back immediately!

Remember!

You can't step out of the Imperial Kitchen without my permission.

But I didn't...

No!

I've been here for so long.

I must meet His Majesty today!
