SIGN    Palace of Dayan
[00:10] ---
    So this is the palace of Dayan!
[00:14] ---
    Welcome to the son of the
    Marquis of Jingan, to Prince Helian,
[00:18] ---
    to the Princess of Nanyue, and to
    Miss Ye of the Heavenly House!
[00:27] ---
    Ah Ruan, from the Nanyue Kingdom,
    pays her respects to the Emperor of Dayan.
[00:33] ---
    So you are Ah Ruan from the Nanyue Kingdom!
[00:35] ---
    How dare you sneak into Jinling by yourself!
[00:38] ---
    Please don't send me back!
[00:40] ---
    I haven't even seen Jinling's
    famed prosperity yet!
[00:43] ---
    It would be such a waste if I went back now.
[00:50] ---
    Oh my, why would I send you back?
[00:53] ---
    Your father just sent a letter,
[00:54] ---
    asking me to look after you.
[01:00] ---
    I'll arrange for Jing to hang out
    with you. How about that?
[01:04] ---
    Thank you for your care, Emperor of Dayan.
[01:11] ---
    Chunyu.
[01:12] ---
    On your mission to the Nanyue Kingdom,
[01:14] ---
    you conducted yourself in the
    manner of a famous general,
[01:16] ---
    demonstrating the aptitude
    to rule the very world.
[01:18] ---
    Xia Chunyu, son of the Marquis of Jingan:
[01:20] ---
    I am promoting you by two ranks,
    effective immediately.
[01:23] ---
    As commander of the palace,
    you shall lead the Forbidden Army,
[01:25] ---
    ensuring my safety and
    that of the Imperial City.
[01:29] ---
    Thank you, Your Majesty.
[01:32] ---
    Ye Jiayao.
[01:33] ---
    I didn't expect your own trip to
    help Chunyu solve Nanyue's crisis.
[01:37] ---
    My valued chef outdoes herself once again.
[01:40] ---
    Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty.
[01:42] ---
    Any problem related to food
    is no problem for me.
[01:45] ---
    But how did you do with the task
    that I assigned you?
[01:53] ---
    Please review this, Your Majesty.

SIGN    Cinderella Chef
[02:57] ---
    I want to ask now
[03:08] ---
    I close my eyes
[03:09] ---
    but couldn't sleep
[03:10] ---
    Tossing and turning

[03:14] ---
    I want to forget
[03:15] ---
    that you're in my heart
[03:17] ---
    Yearning at night
[03:19] ---
    The more I think, the
    more confused I get
[03:22] ---
    I didn't expect it at all
[03:25] ---
    You must not have known
[03:31] ---
    The blue planet shining in the galaxy
[03:33] ---
    Millions of years of waiting
[03:36] ---
    Cannot solve the mystery
    inside my heart
[03:41] ---
    Not some day
[03:42] ---
    but tell me the answer right now
[03:47] ---
    Perhaps I've fallen in love again
[03:50] ---
    Back and forth, twist and turn
[03:53] ---
    Time won't change
    what the heart wants
[03:56] ---
    Shivers run through my soul
[03:58] ---
    I start to practice, to
    explore the secrets of love

    I haven't gotten on yet.
[04:28] ---
    Support the anime, and I'll let you get on.
[04:32] ---

[04:46] ---
    Whoa, there!
[04:49] ---
    We've arrived.
[05:27] ---
    Did I come to the right place?
[05:32] ---
    No, no, no, this can't be it.
[05:34] ---
    Everyone! Sister Yaoyao is back!
    Don't let her get away!
[05:39] ---
    Sister Yaoyao, while you were away,
[05:41] ---
    His Majesty refurbished our Heavenly House!
[05:44] ---
    I've been cleaning several times a day,
[05:46] ---
    waiting for you to come back!
[05:47] ---
    You really can do anything
    you like with money.
[05:49] ---
    It's great that you're back.
[05:50] ---
    So this is the reward
    that His Majesty gave me.

[06:04] ---
    Good job not embarrassing your old man.
[06:09] ---
    Would you like some ginseng soup?
[06:11] ---
    I'm a bit tired.
[06:13] ---
    I want to rest for a bit.
[06:17] ---
    What happened?
[06:19] ---
    His Highness seems to have had
    an argument with Sister-in-law.
SIGN    The Next Day
[06:38] (Flashback) ---
    I...
[06:40] (Flashback) ---
    forgive you.
SIGN    The Heavenly House
[06:57] ---
    Sister Yaoyao, Sister Yaoyao!
[07:00] ---
    What are you guys doing?
[07:02] ---
    Master Lu Yiming suddenly brought in
    a whole lot of ingredients!
[07:05] ---
    So many!
[07:08] ---
    Be careful.
[07:10] ---
    Slow down a bit with that one.
[07:11] ---
    Okay.
[07:12] ---
    Yes, that's right, that's right.
[07:13] ---
    Make sure to maintain a gap.
[07:15] ---
    Don't let the ingredients mix together.
[07:16] ---
    Master Lu, these are...
[07:19] ---
    His Majesty ordered me to bring these in.
[07:21] ---
    His Majesty?
[07:23] ---
    Let's leave it at that.
[07:24] ---
    I still need to go across
    the street to Zuixianlou.
[07:27] ---
    His Majesty has instructed me
[07:29] ---
    to develop a new set of kitchen utensils
    for you before the Banquet of Nations.
[07:33] ---
    Goodbye, Mistress Ye.
[07:35] ---
    New kitchen utensils?
[07:40] ---
    Wow, Jinling really is prosperous!
[07:43] ---
    That's right. Don't fall behind.
[07:45] ---
    If you get lost, you'll never find
    the Heavenly House on your own.
[08:21] ---
    Jing and Ah Ruan seem to be having fun.
[08:24] ---
    Master Thirteen, be careful
    not to expose your identity!
[08:27] ---
    Hey, it's not often that I get
    to spend time outside.
[08:30] ---
    Master Thirteen, let's handle business first.
[08:35] ---
    Fine, fine.
[08:36] ---
    So this is Jinling, huh?
[08:41] ---
    Yep, this is it.
[08:43] ---
    We still live more comfortably
    in West Mongolia.
[08:46] ---
    I'm telling you guys,
[08:47] ---
    all this "prosperity" is pointless.
[08:49] ---
    If I got really pissed off,
[08:53] ---
    I could take out this whole place
    with a sliding shovel!
[08:58] ---
    You ignorant barbarians!
[09:00] ---
    Hey, don't stop me! Don't stop me!
[09:00] ---
    Master Thirteen, calm down. Calm down.
[09:08] ---
    Your Highness, His Majesty requests
    your presence at the Heavenly House.
[09:13] ---
    Let's go.
[09:16] ---
    Why on earth has His Majesty
    sent me these ingredients?
[09:21] ---
    Sister-in-law.
[09:22] ---
    His Highness is here.
[09:25] ---
    Can't you see that I'm busy?
    I'm not seeing him.
[09:28] ---
    Sister-in-law.
[09:29] ---
    His Highness was standing in his residence
    all morning, holding the peace charm.
[09:32] ---
    He must have been thinking about you.
[09:38] ---
    Fine. I'll go check out the hall.
[09:40] ---
    Great!
[09:46] ---
    So you came.
[10:03] ---
    Yaoyao.
[10:03] ---
    A very important guest has arrived!
[10:06] ---
    Wh-Why is His Majesty here?
[10:10] ---
    Your Ma—
[10:13] ---
    I'm here on private business today.
    Help me keep a low profile!
[10:16] ---
    Call me Master Thirteen.
[10:17] ---
    Master Thirteen.
[10:20] ---
    I've come for two reasons.
[10:21] ---
    One, to have Ye Jiayao
    prepare a table of dishes
[10:24] ---
    to welcome everyone who
    has returned from Nanyue.
[10:27] ---
    And two, to use these dishes to judge
    the results of your expedition.
[10:34] ---
    I definitely won't disappoint Your Ma—
    I mean, Master Thirteen.
[10:41] ---
    A table of dishes that will allow His Majesty
    to experience all the flavors of my journey...

    N-No.
[13:03] ---
    You're too old-fashioned.
[13:05] ---
    Women need to be coaxed, you know?
[13:07] ---
    You—
[13:08] ---
    Sorry, sorry!
[13:12] ---
    Sorry we're late!
[13:13] ---
    What's the rush? I haven't had
    nearly enough fun yet.
[13:16] ---
    One table of dishes, coming right up!

[13:31] ---
    Why have you brought a big wooden box here?
[13:35] ---
    Please look inside, Master Thirteen.

[13:53] ---
    It really is a table of dishes!
[13:56] ---
    Please have a taste, Master Thirteen.
SIGN    Sour Sweet Bitter Spicy Fragrant Sour Sweet Bitter Spicy Fragrant Sour Sweet Bitter Spicy Fragrant
[14:29] ---
    First comes the impact of the sourness.
[14:33] ---
    Lamb which completely
    lacks the smell of mutton.
[14:35] ---
    By dynamically interacting with the tomatoes,
[14:39] ---
    it brings out the sour and
    smooth taste of the meat.
[14:44] ---
    Next comes the sweetness.
[14:48] ---
    The ancient scent of the Nanyue Kingdom,
[14:51] ---
    brought by its spiritual messenger.
[14:57] ---
    This frankincense lingers, and the
    floral fragrance permeates the dish.
[15:03] ---
    Followed by bitterness.
[15:07] ---
    The mixed taste of all kinds of flavors
[15:09] ---
    is recorded within these age-old furnishings,
[15:14] ---
    like a constant reminder to all.
[15:19] ---
    The bitterness ends,
    and the sweetness begins.
[15:24] ---
    And then, an unexpected spiciness,
[15:26] ---
    and a carefree and happy fragrance.
[15:30] ---
    The sensation of the five flavors
[15:32] ---
    allows me, even from faraway Jinling,
[15:34] ---
    to experience it as if my body were there.
[15:43] ---
    These Travel Notes are amazing.
[15:47] ---
    This table of dishes allows me to taste
    the joys and sorrows of the journey.
[15:57] ---
    Bring pen and ink!
[16:21] ---
    "The sour, sweet, bitter,
    and spicy fill the world."
[16:25] ---
    "A myriad of flavors burst forth
    from the Heavenly House."
[16:29] ---
    With these few words,
[16:31] ---
    the Heavenly House will attract
    customers and prosperity!
[16:35] ---
    Thank you, Master Thirteen.
[16:37] ---
    You can show me your gratitude
[16:38] ---
    by going all out in the Banquet of Nations.
[16:41] ---
    Don't worry, Master Thirteen.
    I swear not to let you down.
[16:44] ---
    Good. Now come, everyone eat! Everyone eat!
[16:50] ---
    Wanting to be closer
[16:52] ---
    Get to the bottom of your heart
[16:55] ---
    Afloat like the monsoon
[16:57] ---
    Clear skies turns cloudy
[16:59] ---
    Caught me off guard
[17:01] ---
    Stay away
[17:03] ---
    You could never understand my heart
[17:05] ---
    My feelings are written on it
[17:08] ---
    You distress me so
[17:09] ---
    No need to say anything
[17:13] ---
    Why aren't you happy?
[17:16] ---
    Ask yourself
[17:19] ---
    Why can't you say it?
[17:21] ---
    Always hard to be on the same page
[17:24] ---
    Cannot escape from it
[17:25] ---
    Longing for an intimate relationship
[17:29] ---
    Instead of cold replies
[17:33] ---
    Wanting to get closer
[17:35] ---
    Get to the bottom of my heart
[17:37] ---
    Full of courage standing by you
[17:40] ---
    Emotions sometimes mixed
[17:42] ---
    But can always be filled with warmth
[17:45] ---
    Your heart is completely rigid
[17:48] ---
    My heart is too hard to explain
[17:51] ---
    Every moment we had sways in the wind
