Mengfei Comes Across

Come on! Small white, come on, come on!

Hold them!

Small white, you can do it! Come on, small white! [Cheering]

What'd I say?

So amazing!

Small white! Bite him! Peck him! Come on, peck him! Bite him!

Come on small white! Keep going small white! You can do it small white!

Keep going!

Small white, I didn't raise you for nothing! Come on, come on, come on! Fighting!

Quickly!

Small white, stab it! Stab it!

I really don't understand..

A red haired chicken.. but why are you called small white?

Come on small white!

It's a name from the emperor. No matter what it is, he has to bear it.

Stab him! Come on! Stab him!

Small white, come on!

The eighteenth round, like before,

Small white wins!

Small white won! Small white won!

I say.. Your Majesty really didn't dote it for nothing. It really gave it everything!

Consort Meng.

What are your thoughts?

Does this consort.. look like she has any thoughts?

I thought you'd praise small white.

It really is better to see than to hear.

Small white is a really fortunate chicken.

It was able to gain the emperor's favor. Even if it died, it's worth it.

Oh no..

Small white!

Small white! Small white! Small white!

Small white, what's wrong? What happened to you?

Wu Wei Yong, go get the imperial physician! Quickly!

Small white.. Small white.. Small white!

Quickly! Small white, hang in there! Your Majesty.

Liu Jinyan, quickly heal him! If you can't then bring me your head!

[Being an imperial physician is dangerous.. any mistakes and it's always killing my whole family, nine generations.]

[Even for a chicken he wants my head.]

[How can I pass these days..]

Your Majesty, I'm only an imperial physician.. not a beast doctor.

Is it a beast? It's a bird!

Yes, a bird a bird.

Your Majesty.. a bird or a beast.. I can't.

To put it that way.. he's already dead.

Your Majesty, calm your anger.

You.. that.. Before small white died, what happened?

He won the eighteenth round..

Then Consort Meng.. cursed him and he fell over..

No.. but this..

This really isn't my fault..

Your Majesty, please investigate.. I'm innocent!

You dare to laugh.. No..

Don't they have a saying where it's like you don't stretch your hand to hit a smiling face? So..

I won't hit.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Someone come!

Here!

Drag her away and chop her head off!

Yes!

Your Majesty, Consort Meng has fainted..

From fright?

Your Majesty.. you want Consort Meng to die for a chicken..

If it was me, I'd faint too..

Oh no..

Uh.. Small white isn't an ordinary chicken! He's Your Majesty's beloved chicken. All of Your Majesty's decisions are wise and perfect!

I only scared her a little and she fainted..

Your Majesty.. do we still need to chop her head off?

Investigate the real reason of small white's death. If you can't find why.. I'll chop you.

Quick, go find a beast doctor for Imperial physician Liu.

Those two are really alike..

"Chicken Spirit" Small White – Episode 5

Did you guys hear? His Majesty's beloved chicken died suddenly.

Not die suddenly. Died in the line of duty.

So what now?

Can we just braise it in soy sauce now?

Or do we steam it in broth?

Let's steam it in broth. I'm getting pimples, I need to eat lightly.

You guys don't even know. That's His Majesty's most beloved pet.

It's status is higher than ours!

The second that fighting chicken died, His Majesty became extremely cold.

So cold and angry that you don't even want to get close to him.

Isn't it just a fighting chicken?

His Majesty is too dramatic.

Seriously..

When the chickens were fighting, I was there.

Once he won, everyone there was kissing up to His Majesty.

If I had to say, anyone who serves his majesty, if you don't have a strong heart you won't be able to survive.

What do you guys know?

The main point isn't the chicken.

The main point is His Majesty lost his beloved chicken.

He's heartbroken.

The concubines in the harem all want to go give him warmth.

This giving warmth organization for His Majesty,

the line for it is already to the next month.

[If I go in I'll for sure get yelled at. Why don't I just play the flute for him from here?]

[To let His Majesty think that I'm grieving too..]

[Under the grief we'll let his chicken rest in peace.]

[Maybe he'll even be touched by that..]

Stop playing! Stop playing!

It sounds terrible!

Consort Meng, I don't even want to listen. Why would His Majesty want to?

I say, Is this some research project?

Are you trying to find out where his majesty's appreciation for the arts and his endurance is?

What kind of ears do you have? It sounds terrific!

Oh no.

I've long heard about how Consort Meng and the other noble ladies are different.

The Four Arts, to blow, bow, pluck and sing. All seems rushed and muddled.

Today, seeing is really believing.

What are you trying to say?

The four arts that other noble ladies are good at, I can too.

The music I compose is unique. Ordinary people like you just don't know how to appreciate it.

Where aren't there ordinary people?

Consort Meng. Imperial Physician Liu.

Eunuch Wu.

Greetings to you two..

Is His Majesty okay?

We are here to set his majesty's concerns at ease.

Then please, go in.

You go, you go. I won't be going in.

My peaceful piece has been completed. I've already done my part.

Wait, wait, wait.

Consort Meng, His Majesty already said. Both of you go in together.

This.. Just don't play anymore.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Rise.

Did you guys see who was playing the flute outside?

Taking pleasure in other's misfortune..

My heart is trying to cope with the disaster..

but hearing that flute..

the coping has collapsed.

Exactly!

Who played the flute?

At this time they dare to rub salt over your majesty's wound, too disrespectful.

Your Majesty, don't be angry.

Don't worry about them. They'll get their retribution.

Your Majesty, that.. uh.. small white's cause of death, this humble servant has already investigated.

Speak.

After a night of careful examination,

The preliminary determination is that small white has postpartum depression.

You quack. It's said that he's a male chicken, there's no way he could get pregnant.

Even postpartum depression?

Postpartum depression..

Your Majesty, it's like this. This small white, since it was born it's had depression.

He's been depressed for 5 years.

Now his suddenly death is a result of his depression not being cured.

You know how to think..

What kind of thoughts are these?

Who would believe you?

I believe you, I believe you..

When small white was little, he was abandoned. I adopted him, took care of him.

It seems..

he still couldn't forget the pain of his past.

[Who would abandon a chicken? Are they crazy? You could eat it..]

[Why abandon it? Make a couple dishes and perfection..]

Put away that stupid expression of yours! You are for sure thinking if you can eat a chicken, why would someone abandon it?

N-No! This consort wasn't thinking anything!

He's not an ordinary chicken.

He is my beloved chicken.

Yes, yes, yes. Your Majesty is right.

You..

Can you really understand my feelings?

Too much!

It's as if I was there.. This consort really wants to find a place to cry a little.

Small white is too pitiful..

That's good then.

Then..

You give small white a proper burial.

Me?

It's perfect to bury him not too far from me but also not too close.

I've been dreaming about small white a lot.

His lively and adorable look..

Now..

He must resent me. In the dream, he chases me and pecks me.

It makes me remember the happy moments with him.

I must see the glory that he once brought me.

I really don't know what to do.

You really think that because you're handsome you could speak nonsense..

How could a chicken bring you a dream?

Since beloved consort you're so understanding, I will entrust his burial to you.

The burial has to be unique.

It can be extravagant and wasteful but it can't be reimbursed. Do as you see fit.

A pattern.

It's all a pattern.

You want to play me. Make me clean out all my money.

You know that my allowance is already all cleaned out until next year.

Now you just want to test my patience!

What if I insist on testing it?

Then I'll just change my patience hehe..

How bad could it be..

Your Majesty, don't be angry. I guarantee with my character, small white's burial will be extravagant.

Next time you guarantee, choose something more reliable.

What are you laughing at?

This consort excuses herself.

Consort Meng!

Your small white.

Carefully bury him.

Your Majesty,

No one can be compared to you when it comes to tricks to mess with someone.

Then.. this humble servant excuses himself.

Restrain your grief..

Let's bury him here.

Bury him to the right of Di Bai. My Di Bai is a lefty.

Don't block him.

Your Highnesses are in high spirits.

Are you guys going to make the courtyard of Spring Courtyard into cultivated land?

Scram.

Why so fierce?

This is a new dish I created. Come try it.

What is it?

Does it taste bad?

This dish is something shameful in my life.

Imperial Chef Cai, how could you say that?

So what you mean is.. the taste of this dish is okay? You could still swallow it if you forced yourself?

Your Highnesses still treat me alright.

Old Cai, don't get excited.

What she means is that every dish you make is shameful.. Not just the dish today.

Look, it's all your fault.

Ever since you helped him change his name, his whole person has been off.

My ass it's my fault. It's called life.

Meng'er, the chicken is missing!

Meng'er!

The chicken is missing. Could it be that it didn't die completely?

It for sure died completely!

See! I said this chicken was evil!

Could it be that someone took it?

How could that be! Everyone here is our own people!

There hasn't been anyone else.

Cai Tai Xian!

Cai Tai Xian!

You dare to eat His Majesty's beloved chicken, Small White!

You don't want to live anymore?!

W-What are you talking about Consort Meng?

On His Majesty's request, we were going to give Small White a proper burial but the result is this!

But.. didn't I just let you guys bag on me?

I need some time to settle down a bit.. You- What did you just say was a result?

The result is that when we went back to get Small White, he disappeared!

At that time, you were the only outsider! You're a suspect!

Now I've caught you red-handed! What do you have to say for yourself?

Wait! Consort Meng, you can eat things randomly but you can't say things randomly!

This.. I killed this chicken myself this morning!

What.. How could you think of me like that?!

Am I that kind of person?

Insulting me like that, you think that isn't a problem?

What problem is there?

I'm an Imperial Chef.

I have professional ethics inside!

Y-You insult me like that.. I'll cry for you to see!

Why the hell are you crying?!

A big, tall and chubby man like you crying is something embarrassing do you know that?!

I say that it's not me but you insist that it's me!

This kind of decapitation crime you'd randomly place on me!

You can't do this!

It's too much..

Chef.. Chef..

Her Highness already left.

Already left?

She left! Why are you still standing around?

Oh god!

Who is this?

Finally someone who can make decisions.

You! Come over for this spirit.

Is she crazy?

Quickly, come over here, come over here!

Come over here. Meng'er. Listen closely.

She said she is.. Small White!

Small White!

Is that name popular? Why is everyone using it?

She is that chicken!

Transformed into a spirit!

Chicken spirit!

Your brain is bad.. Is your eyesight bad too? That's a person!

This spirit.. really likes your daring sharp tongue.

Your martial arts aren't bad..

Young one, this isn't martial arts. It's magic.

A ghost!

What should we do?!

This spirit wished to become a deity but somehow I entered the palace.

Entered the harem.

Followed the emperor.

Once you follow the emperor,

who cares if he likes you or not? If you're alive, you're his. Once you're dead, you're his mascot.

Isn't this an Imperial drama? How did it turn into immortal martial arts?

Right..

Confusing the audience.. the responsibility is huge.

I-I'm scared..

WanWan, hold onto this.

This thing has a ghost repelling form.

It's surely effective.

You hold onto it.

No matter what evil spirits are outside, they can't enter your body.

Old Xiao.. don't you have amazing martial arts? Go out and fight for us.

I already did! She threw a fireball at me!

This spirit is a chicken deity. You are humans, how could you defeat me?

I finally understand why His Majesty keeps getting nightmares.

What are you guys talking about?

N-N-No! Nothing!

C-Chicken Deity..

W-We don't have any debts to repay with you.. Why are you scaring us?

Open the door.

If this deity really wanted to harm you guys, would I stand out here talking to you?

When she puts it that way.. it makes sense.

Open it or not?

Open it.

It's bright daylight outside.. How could she hurt us?

I'm opening it..

Y-You.. what do you want to do?

Make some friends.

Now you believe my identity, right?

If you still don't believe me.. I could use some magic to open your eyes.

Okay! Okay!

Oh my god.. why are you guys so far from me?

You're too wimpy. Come, come, come. Come over here and sit.

Come closer to this spirit.

Not to hide this from you almighty chicken spirit.. but His Majesty wants you to quickly rest in peace.

I don't want to rest in peace yet. This spirit still wants to see His Majesty.

No!

His Majesty's emotions haven't been stable recently..

If you just show up, you'll scare him.

What if he faints?

It's small if you frighten him to where he faints.. but it's big if you frighten him to where he dies. Right?

In the past, this spirit only appeared as a pet.

It was difficult to become a human. I just want to experience human love. I can't even do that?

It.. might not be.. too good..

His Majesty isn't a fatuous ruler?

A waste of my beauty. It seems I can't be a femme fatale, a nation's cursed consort.

I'm the cursed consort okay.

It seems that this spirit can only stay in this small place with you guys.

You can't even compare this to his majesty's chamber..

But I can only learn from my mistakes.

A place to live, I can't be too picky.

I have to bravely accept it.

She must've lived luxuriously in her chicken coop..

Then.. almighty chicken spirit.. you don't plan to leave?

Well.. it's not that I won't leave. It's that you humans don't offer good enough tributes.

This spirit can't rise into heaven. I'm bound to life.

You guys aren't sincere to me.

Offer tributes..

You rest for a bit.. We're going to talk.

Why are we all in one bedroom?

You go sleep with her. No one's stopping you.

I'm not going!

Why don't..

Why don't we offer more tributes?

To invite a deity is easy but to send them off is not. We just have to make her disappear.

I don't even have enough to eat but I still have to pay tributes to her?

I don't want to.

Be good.

Once we get rid of her, we'll be back to our calm lives. Whatever you want to eat, you can eat!

Okay, okay. Go to sleep. Everyone sleep.

It's like this.

We came to a conclusion last night.

In order to get you where you're supposed to be, we're willing to pay tributes.

Every day and night, 3 incense sticks, continuous food and fresh fruits. What do you think?

Nothing.

What I mean is.. it's not enough.

This deity wants some precious items.

Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets, all of those work.

More the better.

Now I don't quite understand..

Are you trying to go to heaven or rob us?

Don't get angry, relax.

Almighty chicken spirit, don't hold any grudges against her. Her temper is quite rough.

Young one,

my temper used to be rough too.

My learn from my mistakes, It changed.

If it's that rough, it's not good.

You are wise in your teachings.

You are quite understanding.

I really admire it. No rush. Luxurious items can slowly be saved up.

I'm not in a rush.

But I have to remind you of one thing.

I don't have many good qualities but I'm good at holding grudges.

Don't play any tricks with me.

We will surely try to be quick.

[To send you off.]

Where are you going?

Almighty one..

It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?

This spirit is asking you where you're going.

I'm going to the restroom.

Isn't there a urn in the bedroom?

It's already full.

Go go.

Assassin.. someone- Don't panic. So stupid, it's surely not an assassin.

His Majesty is correct!

Don't panic. It's me. Not an assassin.

Beloved consort, why the big greeting?

But.. Consort Meng..

There's a big door in the front, why did you climb the window?

I have something urgent to discuss with His Majesty. I was afraid someone would see.

So that's why I climbed in the window.

Your Majesty, listen to me. That Small White-

If you have something, hold it in. I'm playing chess, don't ruin my mood.

I can play!

You can play?

Let's gamble on the chess game alright. If you win, I'll listen to your nonsense.

If you lose..

L-Lose then what?

Lose then what?

It's not good to say. Once a big official gambled on a game of chess with His Majesty and it ended badly.

What do you want to punish me with?

A difficult chance to come by.

If I punish you, of course it's something you don't do normally, something you don't want to do.

Deal!

This is your saying you can play!

Stop acting pitiful. Rid the nonsense, focus on the main point.

Didn't you tell me to bury Small White?

Before I could bury..

that chicken turned into a spirit.

Your Majesty,

Don't laugh like that. The laugh seems shady.

It's like you can bring out the insanity of a normal person that they've put away..

I'm scared.

You said the chicken turned into a spirit.. Ha Ha [Sarcastic laughter].

Is your brain a stone? Do I need to make arrangements for your family to help you change and bathe?

I need to give your ancestors 30 incense sticks so when you reincarnate, god will remember to give you a brain!

I'm telling the truth!

She knows magic!

If you don't believe me, come with me to find out!

Whether it's a person, a ghost, a chicken or whatever, we need to conclude this!

Even making up things, you're bad at it.

Worry more about your own brain!

Okay! Where is it?

At Spring Courtyard.

I must've gone crazy to climb up here with you.

Quiet..

Don't let her hear. She's powerful.

How powerful?

Even Noble Lady Xiao is afraid. A weak but handsome man like you, if she takes a liking to you, you're done for.

What's the 'hmph' for? I'm complimenting you.

She's come out.

I remember she's called Xiao Chun Zi.

But she said she's called Small White..

Really?

Oh right.. I remember now.

Small White.

You can't even remember a name. How do you remember your concubines?

You can't say that. There's so many people in the palace.

How could I remember everyone?

But your women, you must remember one or two..

Don't say that. What do you mean my women?

I unintentionally saw her.

I saw her carrying 4 buckets of water without shaking. I admire her strength.

I just praised her once, a really useful woman.

Useful in what way?

The dust in the Cold Palace is already 3 meters thick. Of course it's to have her tidy up. Clean up the weeds.

It's said that women with great strength often never have bad luck.

Speaking now.. I think this was two years ago.

This luck is not bad luck?

You put her in the Cold Palace, had her pull weeds for two years and forgot about her.

No wonder she came out to cause a scene.

Since she wants to cause worry in others, I'll go dish out her punishment.

You don't-

This is definitely not me throwing myself in your arms..

I haven't said anything and you already explained.

Too heavy, eat less.

Okay, you guys play on your own.

Your Majesty.

There's one more thing..

Isn't it enough? Don't forget your punishment hasn't been carried out.

I can't run from it..

Speak.

Small White wants money from us.

She must want to leave the palace..

What you mean is.. you want me to give you some money for her to leave the palace?

Yes! How did you know?

Don't even think about it.

If you want to give out money, give out your own.

Remember to eat less.

Petty..

How deep..

Your ancestors must've practiced well. Your nerves are bigger than most humans.

It's the middle of the night, you see me and you're not scared?

Still okay.

I think you're a good person.

I'm a bad person.

I don't believe it.

Even if you are, I'm not scared.

Why?

Because I'm not a good bird either.

To be exact.. not a good chicken.

Right.

What I want is a bit much..

But I don't have any other way..

I won't let fate hold me down.

I have to be brave.

But even saying this much.. you probably don't understand.

Eventually I will.

After talking with you for a bit.. the worries in my heart have been cleared in a click.

Since it cleared in a click,

then I'll just be upfront.

Meng'er.

Meng'er!

Did she leave?

Did she leave? Did she leave?

Already left.

Finally she left. So scary.

How poor could she be?

She even took the vase on your table.

Something's not right..

I finally thought of what's not right!

His Majesty's beloved chicken is a fighting chicken.. Only a male chicken can be a fighting chicken!

No matter if it's a evil chicken spirit, just a chicken spirit or a chicken deity.. It should be a male!

You guys think about it. Isn't it right?

Meng'er..

this time you were too stupid. You didn't even figure it out.

I originally thought out of all of us, only your intelligence was high up there.

You can't say I'm stupid.

This kind of situation is really unexpected.

This kind of deception, you rarely see it even every hundred years.

Forget it. Take it as you learn from your mistakes.

We learn from our mistakes but she's take one mistake to get another mistake.

My jewelry..

My jewelry!

We are stupid chubby sheep. Not slaughtering.. Not slaughtering..

Everyone please be aware. There's a criminal that escaped from prison.

If you discover them, please call the palace security hotline at 0707007.

Everyone please be aware. There's a criminal that escaped from prison!

Old Bao, what's going on?

Something big. The wall of the cold palace fell and we lost a person.

Have you guys seen anyone suspicious?

What do they look like?

They have great strength. Can do magic tricks. Someone who used to call shots in the folk musical theater.

Came into the palace to perform and caught the eye of His Majesty.

Their heart and mind is higher than my hairline.

Your Highnesses must be careful. They are extremely dangerous.

Everyone please be aware. There's a criminal that escaped from prison!

If you discover them, please call the palace security hotline..

So it's like that..

Even lied to us to make us pay tributes to help her ascend to immortality.

To lie to that extent, she's so talented..

We gave her all our precious treasures..

It was to hope for her safe escape?

Be sure not to spill it or else we'll become accomplices.

Meng'er. What did you tribute her?

I don't have anything..

So my tribute to her was my most kind and sincere blessings..

Meng'er.

Did you already know about this?

So..

you purposely had us give out some money..

No.. I.. I didn't think of anything like that.

Old Xiao, get her!

Don't, don't, don't!

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down! Coming! The dishes are all here!

Let's all drink! To celebrate our leader returning! Come on! Cheers everyone!

Good wine. Quickly eat.

Everyone eat! You guys quickly eat.

Older sister, why are you back? Didn't His Majesty keep you by his side?

Because I realized that wasn't my destination so I came back.

It was easy to convince him to let you come back?

I'm so smart. Of course I had some way.

I acted out a scene.. Inside the palace, a couple nice people helped me.

We've played along for so long..

I'm really trying to decide if I should help you or not.

You like helping people?

Yes. Helping people is my virtue.

I've already investigated. You know how to do magic tricks. You came in the palace to perform and caught the emperor's eye.

Since we're already here,

you're right. It's me.

You want to escape so you find us to cover costs.

I don't have any other way. If it's inconvenient then-

No need to say anymore.

With worldly possessions, we can exchange for your new life,

It's worth it.

Then.. it's all on me.

Good!

Good!

What?!

Why am I doing this kind of dirty chore?! No matter what I'm still a daughter of noble descent!

This punishment isn't good?

You let off a maid that could do magic tricks.

I didn't tell you to use a fire hula hoop. I'm already being benevolent.

Clean all the chess pieces. No slacking.

I'll check in a bit.
