The Legendary Life of Queen Lau 我叫刘金凤 Episode 1

The emperor of Donghao Kingdom decreed to choose a queen, and any woman who is beautiful and determined to enter the palace can join in the selection process. The young emperor just turned twenty years old.  This is a big happy event in the court, but the common people shook their heads one after another, thinking who the ultimate queen should be. They don't know who can be worthy of their handsome and smart young emperor, Then one of the common man blurted out it is all depended on what Liu Xie says.

According to what Liu Xie said, they all knew that the little emperor Duan Yunzhang (played by Li Hongyi) has not yet been in power, and Liu Xie is the real one in power. Liu is the Chancellor has full power, even the royal family has to fear him.

 Xianpa Village's flower Liu Jinfeng was told by her mother that she was engaged to Brother Xuan since she was a child. There is also a portrait of Brother Xuan as proof. Every day Liu Jinfeng will write to Brother Xuan, and Yu Changya has been with Liu Jinfeng since he was a child. The two grown ups have no guesses, they also like to tease Liu Jinfeng, and have different feelings for her. On this day, Liu Jinfeng fell asleep when she wrote her love letter to Brother Xuan. Yu Changya took advantage of the sleeping LIu Jinfeng and drew a few strokes on her face. The angry Liu Jinfeng chased Yu Changya all around the village. The witch in the village said that there will be disasters recently, and Liu Jinfeng must marry in order to eliminate the disaster from the village. Liu Jinfeng did not believe her words, but she could not stand the trust of others. The witch suggested that Liu Jinfeng marry Yu Changya. Yu Changya himself was undecided, but Liu Jinfeng said she would only marry Brother Xuan and did not approve. They all said that they don't believe her and that the marriage arrangement is a fake. In order to prove that she had been engaged, Liu Jinfeng asked her mother to show the portrait of Brother Xuan to prove that what she said was true. They all finally believed her and told her she should just get married.

At this time, in the palace of Donghaoguo, the emperor Duan Yunzhang deliberately came late to the selection process. Just as he entered, a girl fainted because of her weakness. Liu Xiecheng called for the girl to be punished and whipped. The emperor said that the punishment is too harsh and she might die from it. Duan Yunzhang hinted that these girls were not what he wanted, and he asked his close ministers Chai Tiezhou (Yang Wanli), Su Jingtang (Lu Yupeng) and others for their opinions. Friends also felt that these women were not suitable, especially his younger brother Duan. Yun Zhong (played by Guo Cheng) is even more supportive of his brother, but Liu Xie can't give in. Then the emperor said he must take his leave from the venue, because none of the girls was worthy to be queen.

The scientific examination is near, Duan Yunzhang and Mr. Zhang discussed the questions of this examination. They wanted to select suitable talents for their own use to compete with Liu Xie, but Liu Xie had already seen it, and specially wanted to discuss important matters with Duan Yunzhang. The reality is to force Duan Yunzhang agreed with his question about "kill". Just as Duan Yunzhang was about to veto it, he got news that Mr. Zhang fell off his horse and could not come to discuss it. Duan Yunzhang knew that Liu Xie was doing the trick. If he didn't follow his meaning, he said Maybe it will let Master Zhang return to the west, so he has to give in again.

Liu Xie dug deep into the soft soil and asked Duan Yunzhang to make his daughter the empress. If he didn't obey, he would be intimidated to the throne. Duan Yunzhang had no choice but to give in again. The queen mother was also very angry when she saw Duan Yunzhang's idle appearance, and reminded him to quickly set the date of the big wedding. Liu Xie was dissatisfied that the woman he married would be such a woman, but the close officials thought that Liu Xie's daughter Liu Baiyu was white, beautiful, and talented. Yi secretly looked at Liu Baiyu, and felt that the general situation seemed to be a qualified queen.

Liu's mother told Liu Jinfeng that if she wanted to get married, she had to find her father Liu Xie, so that she could marry her husband, and she took the token and drove away Liu Jinfeng. Sadly, she and Liu Xie once ordered the best marriage in the whole country, but whether they are lucky in the future depends on her to compete.

The Queen Mother knew the meaning of Duan Yunzhang, and he didn't want to give in to the marriage. The Queen Mother was worried that she would end up taking Duan Yunzhang's life, so she specially left a posthumous photo. Progress can cherish Duan Yunzhang's life, but Duan Yunzhang can't do anything about it. Implying that I had approved of marriage. The queen mother immediately wiped away her tears and was overjoyed. Just now, everything was acting, and even the wedding dress had been prepared.

Liu Xie liked the way Liu Jinfeng was eating, and felt that it was too similar to her mother's way of eating.  Jinfeng then gave Xie a bag of smelly mandarin fish sent by Liu's mother. He then said your mother must have forgiven me because she gave me these fish. Liu Xie told Liu Jinfeng that tomorrow was the day when she and the emperor get marry, and from then on, Hei Fatty was renamed Liu Jinfeng.

Liu Jinfeng and Duan Yunzhang got married and sat in the new room. Duan Yunzhang found that Liu Jinfeng's hands were fatter. Zhang, like the Xuanlang in the portrait, is even more happy, and is about to enter the bridal chamber, but Duan Yunzhang is not familiar with black fat, so Liu Jinfeng had to take out the portrait of Xuanlang given by Liu Xie, as well as his belongings. Duan Yunzhang also recognized those tools as his personal belongings, the little pig wolf and the dragonfly fan. This also stunned Duan Yunzhang, Liu Jinfeng couldn't help but leaned up and kissed Duan Yunzhang when he saw this. When Duan Yunzhang was confused, he found that there was an aphrodisiac in the room, and quickly knocked Liu Jinfeng out and ran in. Chai Tiezhou and Su Jing Tang were worried that Duan Yunzhang would not need them after marrying the queen, and they saw Duan Yunzhang walking towards him in a vague manner, looking at the man becoming more elegant, Su Jing Tang discovered that Duan Yunzhang was using medicine, Quickly push him into the water. After waking up, Duan Yunzhang called Liu Xie over to be held accountable.

The Duan Yunzhang guessed that Liu Xie must have taken his personal belongings and sent them to his daughter. Liu Xie told Duan Yunzhang that he guessed it right, and that the late emperor wanted this marriage to take place. Liu Xie took out the marriage certificate written by the late emperor as proof. He told Duan Yunzhang, that it doesn't matter if the girl is his real daughter or a fake one who dare try to cross him. Then, he told him to go back to the wedding chamber because it is his wedding night. 

 Duan Yunzhang made Su Jingtang and others look at Liu Jinfeng, who was in an embarrassed sleeping position, and accused them of not complimenting Liu Baiyu's beauty.
