Legend of Fu Yao (扶摇)

Ever since I met him

everything seems to be related to him.

Everything is tied to him.

Over time...

I got used to having him around.

I'm used to having him by my side.

I'm also used to...

I can't help but think about him.

That means you like him!

I like him?

Does that mean I like him?

In the past... there was someone I was fond of.

Until he let me down.

I thought I'd be very upset, but I was actually disappointed.

I asked myself if I truly liked him.

I'm not sure anymore.

That's why when you asked me if I'm fond of your Young Master...

I don't really know.

Young Master.

Jian Xue, leave us.

You...

Did you overhear us?

This is so unfair.

You sent her to sound me out.

Now you know how I feel about you.

But I still don't know how you feel.

Have a seat.

What would you like to ask me?

I...

I'd like to know...

I'd like to know how you feel about me.

Do you want me to tell you honestly?

You...

You're very smart and special.

In all these years, I've never met a woman like you.

You're arrogant and unyielding.

You're witty and crafty.

But you're also loyal and righteous.

You even risk your life for your friends.

That's why I've been interested in you from the very beginning.

However...

Once we spent more time together and I saw more of you...

nothing about you seems interesting anymore.

In the end, men prefer to keep

meek and gentle women by their side.

You...

Do you understand?

Why are you laughing?

When I was locked up in Cuiliang Hall

I thought I wouldn't be able to escape.

But then...

you were the first person who came to my mind.

In that split moment, I even asked myself

if I had fallen for you.

It's indeed quite funny.

Thank you for telling me.

Now I know how foolish I was to have those feelings.

Thank you for being honest with me.

I'll deal with my own feelings.

How will you deal with them?

I'll repay your kindness, as I should.

From now on, I won't pester you again.

I don't need you to repay me.

Now you're getting in my way.

I just hope that... you can disappear soon.

As for that spell on you--

Don't bother!

I no longer have anything to do with you.

Look at you!

Look at the job you did!

How could you use black ribbons for the lanterns?

How could you?

The Winter Clothing Festival is a joyous occasion!

It's the day the king picks out his queen!

Don't you know that?

If you're so negligent, you'll get caned!

Seriously!

Go get it done now!

Yes, yes.

Hurry up! Seriously!

I didn't watch him for one second and he made a mistake!

Be careful!

Miss Yuwen.

The guards on duty tonight are our men.

Put this outfit on and wear this badge.

No one will hold you back.

As for Yuwen Zi...

Don't worry.

Young Master will take care of it.

The first of October!

Pay respects to the ancestors on the Winter Clothing Festival!

Forget not your ancestors!

The Winter Clothing Festival of Taiyuan Kingdom!

Commence!

My King.

Why do you seem a bit displeased on such a joyous occasion?

Do I?

Elder Statesman, you're too sensitive.

Lass!

I've come late.

Are you all right?

I saved a damsel in distress.

Shouldn't you at least thank me?

Hey, lass!

You made the mess.

Come help me change.

We meet again, after that day at Forbidden Cliff.

Are you sick of living?

I want to go on living with you.

Whether or not I'm a liar may be unclear.

But you're definitely an impostor.

Have you fallen for me?

I'd like to know how you feel about me.

I never thought I'd ever see you so submissive and pitiful

like a weak and gentle woman.

There are many weak and gentle women in your harem.

Why would you care?

But I care about you.

You were the one who went to such lengths to see me.

But now, it's so easy for me to walk out of here.

Please halt, Miss.

There are too many people around.

Please come with me, Miss.

- Here. - Have a drink.

Here, have another.

Senior Yan.

Here.

After you.

Elder Statesman Qi, here's a toast to you.

Sure!

We'd like to drink a toast to you, Uncle.

Sure!

Good-looking young man!

I heard that you are Elder Statesman Qi's nephew-in-law?

Indeed. I'm Yan Jing Chen.

I heard that you're the young master of Xuanyuan Sect.

Exactly!

He's the son of Xuanyuan Sect's Yan Lie.

He's a talented young man.

He just joined the royal court.

He replaced the Commandant of the Defense Battalion.

No wonder he seems to be of a remarkable bearing.

He's indeed the descendant of a prestigious family.

He and Commandery Princess Pei are a match made in heaven.

We're all very envious of them.

My husband hasn't been at the capital for long.

He'll need your support in the royal court from now on.

I'd like to drink a toast to all of you.

To thank everyone in advance.

Commandery Princess, you're too kind.

Young Master Yan is a young and talented man.

It's Taiyuan's blessing that he became an official here.

Here!

Not bad!

Gentlemen, enjoy your drinks.

Sure.

Get lost.

Is it because that girl is younger and pretty...

Do you find her more beautiful than me?

Don't make a scene with so many people present.

Here, I'll drink a toast to you.

Get me some fruit.

Sure. I'll get you some fruit.

Feed me.

Sure.

The king has arrived!

Why isn't Consort of Benevolence here yet?

Your Ladyship, my mistress is unwell.

She couldn't get out of bed.

My King, this--

Since she's unwell, she shouldn't be forced to attend.

Send the royal physician to check on her later.

Yes.

My King, it's the auspicious hour.

Get started.

The auspicious hour has arrived!

The Winter Clothing Festival banquet begins!

Music!

They dance well.

Not bad.

Good!

Great!

I'll be back shortly.

They dance really well.

What did you say?

He was the one who made me leave.

- Shush. - Now you want me to stay?

Are you messing with me?

Miss Fu Yao, don't get angry.

Young Master has his reasons.

I took it upon myself to do this.

I know that Young Master will surely punish me.

But there's a matter I have to tell you about.

What is it?

Do you remember that night

Young Master went to look for the Englobement Bell?

You just know that he brought the bell back

but you don't know that he suffered three blows from the Supreme Princess.

His internal force was badly shaken.

I've served Young Master since I was a child.
