Durian can solve all problems

Qi pa prepares a banquet that is traditionally required for the queen-to-be before the wedding. Qi pa deliberately tries to spoil the food but smart kui mulang switches the food. Guests end up eating delicious food while the real food prepared by qi pa is eaten by Kui Mulang, it is unpalatable but besotted kui Mulang as per the romance novels he is reading, shoves few mouthfuls.

Qi pa unintentionally has added some aphrodisiac, drugging kui Mulang who becomes amorous. ( I bet qi pa did not intend for that to happen 😉) Qi pa visits kui Mulang to apologise for unknowingly drugging him the previous night. Qi pa reiterates that she is not fit to be his queen.

Her reasons:
1. She does not want to obey palace rules.
2.she can't cook, how can she be a queen?
3.she often hurts kui Mulang even without knowing it.
4. She has a quick temper and often argues with kui Mulang
5.lastly she softly murmurs, kui Mulang is bad looking and it scares her.

Qi pa wants to leave and at this stage kui Mulang due to holy pearl cannot allow her to leave... Both are at an impasse. Kui Mulang offers to bring anything from Daxia to relieve her home sickness... Qi pa requests for Durian and 'David' statue.... Kui Mulang gets both the items for her.

Li xiong approaches qi pa feeling self-satisfied at having acquired everything she demanded... Qi pa talks about 'feelings' and apprises Li xiong that she doesn't have those for kui Mulang.. She describes what she has heard from her mother about how a person feels when they are in love... Li xiong wants to know if she ever has had such a feeling before... Both qi pa and kui Mulang are novice at love.

Prosaically, qi pa wants to eat Durian to ease her sadness.. When she cuts open the Durian, the stench of it drives Li xiong backwards and qi pa good naturedly advances towards him to share it. Li xiong trips while walking backwards and topples on his back on the floor, qi pa trying to save him catche him falls on top of him.. They share their first kiss. (Then kui one of kui mulang's theme song, if only plays for the first time). Both of them blush while trying to avoid looking at each other.

li xiong goes back to his chambers with a dazed look, he experienced the feelings qi pa was talking about... Boy has fallen in love with qi pa.
