[01:44] ---
    House of Grand Councilor
[01:53] ---
    What's going on in the House of Grand Councilor?
    They even have guards at the back door.
[01:56] ---
    Seems like they're holding a feast today.
[01:58] ---
    Mochi, go check it out.
[02:00] ---
    Why me again?
[02:02] ---
    You got a problem with that?
[02:04] ---
    Where were you last time I was in danger?
[02:07] ---
    You're the one who left us in the
    private room in that restaurant.
[02:09] ---
    Pfft. And why didn't you come looking for me?
[02:12] ---
    Um, Mistress Yunxi...
[02:14] ---
    The House of Grand Councilor is your home.
[02:17] ---
    Why not just walk straight in?
[02:19] ---
    Yunxi is here without permission, idiot.
    What if her father finds out she's here?
[02:24] ---
    I made a deal with Father.
[02:26] ---
    If I got married in my sister's stead,
    he said he would take care of Auntie Xue. But...
[02:31] (Flashback) ---
    If you promise to stay,
[02:33] (Flashback) ---
    these priceless blood-jade
    earrings are yours.
[02:37] ---
    Auntie Xue always kept those earrings with
    her. They are the only pair in the world.
[02:42] ---
    But my father gave them
    to the Crown Prince as a gift.
[02:44] ---
    Auntie Xue...
[02:47] ---
    For Auntie Xue's sake, I bit my tongue and
    agreed to all of his unreasonable requests,
[02:51] ---
    but I can't believe my father
     didn't keep his word.
[02:54] ---
    I will take Auntie Xue with me now,
     and leave this place forever.
[02:58] ---
    But I can't even get in the damn door.
[03:00] ---
    Mistress Yunxi, do not worry. Look over there.
[03:10] ---
    My princess is still missing?
[03:14] ---
    How is it possible that a young
    maiden can elude you so easily?
[03:19] ---
    Princess Ye is skilled in avoiding
    detection. She is no ordinary woman.
[03:22] ---
    We will keep searching.
    Please forgive us, Highness.
[03:29] ---
    Qian Yunshang...
[03:31] ---
    What game are you playing?
[03:39] ---
    Ah, I finally got in.
[03:44] ---
    Shouldn't be so fat.
[03:46] ---
    Are you looking for a fight?!
[03:51] ---
    Who is out there?
[03:53] ---
    Uh-oh, someone's coming.
[03:56] ---
    I will lure her away.
[03:57] ---
    Wait.
[03:59] ---
    That voice...
[04:05] ---
    Que'er!
[04:19] ---
    Hold your stick!
[04:26] ---
    Mistress Yunxi?
[04:27] ---
    Did you miss me?
[04:33] ---
    Court Yiya
[04:36] ---
    My lady, I never thought
    you would suffer so...
[04:39] ---
    That's why I came back today.
    So we can run away together.
[04:44] ---
    Where's Auntie Xue?
[04:46] ---
    Auntie Xue? I do not know
    her whereabouts, either.
[04:50] ---
    The mistress said Auntie Xue had
    malaria, so she could not stay here.
[04:54] ---
    They kicked her out.
[04:56] ---
    On top of that, the mistress took
    all of Auntie Xue's valuables.
[05:01] ---
    So it was all that woman's doing...
[05:04] ---
    What about Father? Did he say anything?
[05:07] ---
    He does not get involved.
[05:10] ---
    The mistress is in charge
    of all household matters.
[05:13] ---
    After you left, Mistress Yunshang
    made life very difficult for us.
[05:19] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:20] ---
    I will go to Father now and set this right.
[05:24] ---
    But wait...
[05:25] ---
    We have an important guest today, my lady.
    I'm afraid... you might not get to see the master.
[05:30] ---
    An important guest?
[05:32] ---
    The head of the Western Tribe, Beitang Lie.
[05:36] ---
    The master has cozied up to him recently.
    It feels like something is afoot.
[05:41] ---
    He has also caught Mistress Yunshang's eye.
[05:44] ---
    Beitang Lie?
[05:50] ---
    Que'er! Are you slacking off again? Get out here!
[05:53] ---
    Oh no! Auntie Deng!
[05:56] ---
    Move it!
[06:00] ---
    I told you to get to work,
    yet here you are slacking off?!
[06:04] ---
    I'm sorry! I won't do it again!
[06:07] ---
    Big bully. I need to talk to Father now.
[06:14] ---
    Halt! Who are you?
[06:16] ---
    The first daughter of the House of
    Grand Councilor, here to see my father.
[06:20] ---
    The only daughter here is
    Mistress Qian Yunshang.
[06:23] ---
    Where did you spring from, impostor?
[06:25] ---
    We have an important guest today. Lock her up.
[06:27] ---
    What are you doing?
    Are the preparations made?
[06:29] ---
    Father?
[06:34] ---
    Where is she?
[06:39] ---
    Why does nobody recognize you here?
    Are you really the Grand Councilor's daughter?
[06:43] ---
    They bully me 'cause I only
    lived here a short time.
[06:47] ---
    Most of the people here didn't
    like me when I was still at home.
[06:50] ---
    Only Auntie Xue and Que'er were nice to me.
[06:53] ---
    My father sent me to Spirit Cloud Mountain
    when I was seven. I haven't been back since.
[06:58] ---
    It's no wonder no one knows me now.
[07:03] ---
    What am I going to do now?! I need to
    at least get as far as the entrance hall!
[07:07] ---
    We have an important guest
    visiting today, so stay sharp.
[07:10] ---
    Yes, miss.
[07:18] ---
    I have an idea.
[07:29] ---
    How do I look?
[07:30] ---
    Mistress Yunxi, you look beautiful
    even in a servant's dress.
[07:34] ---
    Ass kisser.
[07:36] ---
    You look stunning, Mistress Yunxi.
[07:40] ---
    Shhh, they're coming.
[07:44] ---
    Keep an eye on her. Make sure no one finds her.
[07:47] ---
    Yes, mistress.
[07:47] ---
    Be careful.
[08:10] ---
    Hey, so um, when do we go in?
[08:14] ---
    When the music stops,
    we start serving the food.
[08:17] ---
    You must be new here.
    I have not seen your face before.
[08:20] ---
    Oh, uh, y-yeah.
[08:23] ---
    If there is anything you are unsure of,
    just do what I do. We cannot afford mistakes.
[08:27] ---
    Thank you. You are such a kind person.
[08:32] ---
    What a glorious day. Such beautiful
    weather and blossoming flowers.
[08:35] ---
    Your timing could not be better, Lord Beitang.
[08:38] ---
    Indeed.
[08:40] ---
    The scenery here in the Central
    Plains invites one to stay longer.
[08:46] ---
    Thanks to you, Grand Councilor,
    our tribe could reconcile with your nation,
[08:50] ---
    and I have the opportunity
    to visit here again.
[08:55] ---
    You flatter me, Lord Beitang.
[08:57] ---
    I am merely doing my part, however small,
    to foster peace between our nations.
[09:12] ---
    Now, stay in your lines, enter in
    single file, and serve with care.
[09:22] ---
    Many bandits and thieves have been
    spotted near Xiyun Pass recently.
[09:26] ---
    I wonder if there are enough
    guards to protect the merchants.
[09:30] ---
    Worry not, Lord Beitang.
[09:32] ---
    We have two thousand trained soldiers
    guarding the Xiyun Pass from bandit attack.
[09:37] ---
    Sounds perfect.
[09:38] ---
    Perfect.
[09:44] ---
    So this is where Father is.
[09:46] ---
    I have to make him notice me.
[10:13] ---
    We have prepared a few sculpted
    dishes for you, Lord Beitang.
[10:18] ---
    Look. This "Picture of
    Scenery" maps the shape
[10:21] ---
    of the rivers and mountains
    of our nations in one dish.
[10:24] ---
    A metaphor for our prosperity and peace.
[10:29] ---
    A most creative way to use
    cuisine to symbolize peace.
[10:32] ---
    A wise choice, Grand Councilor.
[10:38] ---
    I thank you for the compliment.
[10:43] ---
    Why does that man keep staring at me?
[11:09] ---
    Are you okay?
[11:12] ---
    Clumsy fool! Have you any
     idea what you have done?!
[11:22] ---
    Forgive me, my lord! Please, have mercy on me!
[11:27] ---
    Take her away and flog her eighty times!
[11:32] ---
    Wait!
[11:33] ---
    Master, that would be inappropriate
    in front of our honored guests.
[11:39] ---
    As long as Father recognizes me,
    I can end this peacefully.
[11:43] ---
    How dare you answer back!
[11:45] ---
    Take them both away and
    flog them! Flog them soundly!
[11:48] ---
    Wait, what? He didn't recognize me?
[11:51] ---
    Do not get so irate, Father.
[12:04] ---
    There is no need to let the
    actions of two maids enrage you.
[12:07] ---
    Qian Yunshang? What's she *doing here?
[12:11] (Flashback) ---
    After you left, Mistress Yunshang
    made life very difficult for us.
[12:15] ---
    Whatever they have done
     to anger you so, Father...
[12:18] ---
    No, now isn't the right time.
[12:21] ---
    This maid is insolent in the extreme, and has
    ruined our centerpiece, "Picture of Scenery."
[12:26] ---
    She may have cursed the
    peace between our nations!
[12:29] ---
    Is that so?
[12:31] ---
    From what I can see,
    I believe this is a good omen.
[12:35] ---
    A good omen?
[12:36] ---
    How is that possible?
[12:38] ---
    The Central Plains and
    Western Tribe are like brothers.
[12:42] ---
    Now, like milk mixing with water,
    we are in perfect harmony,
[12:45] ---
    signifying an even closer
    relationship than before.
[12:51] ---
    My, my, what a silver tongue you have, daughter.
[12:54] ---
    It is all down to your teaching, Father.
[13:11] ---
    Lord Beitang, I apologize
    for that little scene.
[13:14] ---
    This is my daughter, Qian Yunshang.
[13:19] ---
    Yunshang, this is Lord Beitang.
[13:24] ---
    Greetings, Lord Beitang.
[13:27] ---
    Shang'er, you are late.
[13:29] ---
    Lord Beitang must be upset that you
    kept him waiting. Apologize to him.
[13:33] ---
    I am deeply sorry, Lord Beitang.
[13:37] ---
    Oh, do not worry.
[13:42] ---
    Why does he keep looking at me
    instead of Qian Yunshang?
[13:48] ---
    When Shang'er heard Lord
    Beitang would be in attendance,
[13:51] ---
    she had a new dress
    tailored for the occasion.
[13:54] ---
    Oh, Mother, please.
[13:57] ---
    Her thoughtful comment
    a moment ago was excellent.
[14:00] ---
    These two maids did not err on purpose.
[14:02] ---
    Please reduce your
    punishment, Grand Councilor.
[14:07] ---
    He's pleading on my behalf?
[14:11] ---
    Father, since Lord Beitang wishes it,
[14:14] ---
    why not consider a lighter punishment,
    such as docking them one month's pay?
[14:18] ---
    Even Qian Yunshang?
[14:20] ---
    Is the sun rising in the west?
[14:23] ---
    Shang'er, you are always so kind.
[14:26] ---
    Very well. For their sake, you will
    each be docked one month's pay.
[14:32] ---
    Now, leave.
[14:33] ---
    Thank you, master!
[14:35] ---
    Thank you, master!
[14:42] ---
    Father didn't recognize me?
[14:44] ---
    Are my makeup skills that good?
[14:47] ---
    For Qian Yunshang to defend me, too...
[14:50] ---
    What's she up to?
[14:55] ---
    Do not be upset, Mistress Yunxi.
[14:57] ---
    Grand Councilor did not talk to you because
    there were important guests present.
[15:02] ---
    The Spirit Cloud Mountain crew
    has makeup skills you can't outdo.
[15:11] ---
    Not only have I got serious makeup
    skills, I'm also blessed with luck.
[15:14] ---
    Guess which nice person saved me today?
[15:18] ---
    M-Mistress Yunxi... Behind you...
[15:20] ---
    Would this "nice person" you mention... be me?
[15:40] ---
    Would this "nice person" you mention... be me?
[15:53] ---
    The man who couldn't keep his
    eyes off me during the feast...
[16:07] ---
    I, uh, was talking about
    Mistress Qian Yunshang.
[16:10] ---
    What business is it of yours?
[16:13] ---
    Please excuse me.
    I thought you looked familiar.
[16:19] ---
    Might I know your name?
[16:24] ---
    Why's this guy so persistent?
[16:31] ---
    I can't stay here for long.
[16:34] ---
    Why should I tell you?
[16:45] ---
    Please wait.
[16:49] ---
    Let go of me!
[16:59] ---
    Mistress Yunxi, I will save you.
[17:14] ---
    Watch out for incoming cakes!
[17:17] ---
    Why do I itch so all of a sudden?
[17:21] ---
    Watch out.
[17:30] ---
    Telekinesis?
[17:32] ---
    What technique is this?
[17:37] ---
    A woman's self-defense technique.
[17:57] ---
    Your Highness, our agent has reported in.
[17:59] ---
    Grand Councilor hosted a feast today for
    the leader of the Western Tribe, Beitang Lie.
[18:06] ---
    Furthermore, Princess Ye is in
    the House of Grand Councilor.
[18:10] ---
    As I thought. She is a spy sent by Qian Aotian.
[18:15] ---*
    All right. Let us go see them.
