Episode 1
What is this place? The hospital?
What hospital is this?
The environment is so strange.
Even the nurse's uniforms are strange.
What?
What is going on?
I'm dreaming.
Once I open my eyes, everything will be alright.
Second Miss.
Miss, what a relief you've woken up!
Somebody!
Second Miss, you've just recovered.
Let me help you back to bed so you can rest.
Second Miss! Who you calling Second?!
Who are you?
I...
Your servant is Qiaohui.
Qiaohui?
Where is this?
This is your room.
My room in what place?
Your room at the Eighth Bei'le's estate...
The Eighth Bei'le's estate?
What Eighth Bei'le's estate?
Bei'le?
Qing Dynasty!
What kind of joke is this?
Don't assume I'll listen to what you say just because you are dressed like this!
I'm on a gag variety show, aren't I?
Where's the camera?
Where's the camera!
Which channel are you from?
You can't play this kind of joke!
Second Miss. You...
What are you talking about?
Still pretending, are you?
What time is it?
It's barely passed noon.
I'm not asking you this! I'm asking you what time is it?
I'm not lying to you.
It really just passed noon!
I'm asking you which year, which month! Which year and which month?
Second Miss, I don't know what time you are asking for.
Qing Dynasty, right?
Who's the Emperor now?
Emperor Kangxi.
Then who am I?
Second Miss.
What second? Name!
Ma-ma Maertai Ruo- Ruoxi
The Maldive Islands?!
It's Maertai Ruoxi.
Madam!
Madam, Miss has woken up but she asked me who I am!
Do you think her head was injured from the fall?
Don't talk nonsense.
Physician.
Are you all right?
Ruoxi, I'm your older sister (Jie'jie).
No matter what happens, I'm here
Don't be afraid
Let me check your pulse.
Madam. From Second Miss's pulse,
it appears that she is in shock.
Her mind is in disarray.
But after she takes some medicine and rest more,
she will recover after some time.
Thank you, Physician.
Qiaohui.
Here.
Lead the physician to get the prescription.
Yes.
Please.
Ruoxi, you'll be fine after you take some medicine and rest.
Don't worry too much.
Maertai Ruoxi?
Maertai Ruolan.
Older sister (Jie'jie)?
Then, can you tell me what happened?
You fell down from the stairs.
You've been unconscious for a day and a night.
Fell down from the stairs?
But I was definitely hit by a car.
What is this?
High voltage wire.
Careful or someone might get killed.
Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao!
Put in some effort, will you?
Zhang Xiao!
Xiao Xiao, listen to me.
What's there to talk about?
You're cheating on me while I'm working overtime.
What do you mean by 'cheating'?
Don't make it sound so bad!
Don't insult her, okay?
Who am I insulting? I saw it with my own eyes!
I'm near sighted, but I'm not blind yet!
Quit arguing and move a side!
What are you honking for?
You also saw it.
I was just having dinner with Mei Mei.
Mei Mei. Listen to how you're calling her in such a sweet tone!
That's her name!
She's called Xiao Mei, not Mei Mei!
But I've always called her that.
Yes, she's your godsister.
Yeah, you also know her.
I've known her earlier than you.
So what's the problem?
The problem is what you were doing!
What were we doing?
Do you need to hold hands while you eat?
She was holding my hand!
Do you need to lend her a shoulder to lean on?
She was the one leaning on me!
So she was also the one who stuck her mouth to yours, huh?
Yes.
Bastard!
Didn't you see that she was crying?
Huang Di, do you really think you're an Emperor (homonym)?
Do you think you are in the ancient times?
When you can have multiple relationships?!
Let me tell you.
I, Zhang Xiao, will not accept this.
-But I... -Hey! Hey!
Go argue somewhere else.
We're working and you're stepping on my wire.
How am I stepping on your wire?
Get lost!
You're still yelling at people?
No wonder your boyfriend is two-timing you.
-You're asking for it, you know? -Hey!
What does my boyfriend have to do with you?
You crazy lady!
And you're waving your fists around.
So what if I'm waving my fists?
I haven't used my legs yet!
I'll use them right now!
Xiao Xiao! Xiao Xiao!
How did that become falling down the stairs?
What happened?
I understand now. The collision.
The strong impact from the collision threw out the brainwaves.
I've traveled through time?
Second Miss, Second Miss!
Ten days.
I've been this damned 8th Prince's sister for ten days!
I can only walk around in circles here.
Are you all right?
Thank you, Second Miss.
So kay.
You're welcome!
Second Miss.
What are you doing?
I'm exercising.
Exercising is good.
If you're more energetic and feeling better, Madam will be happy too.
This sister that I've gained after I traveled through time...
To say it nicely, she is gentle and kind.
To say it badly weak and conforming.
Out of the whole day, she always spends half of it reading Buddhist scriptures.
Probably because she's not loved as the 8th Prince's second wife.
At least during the ten days I've been here,
I've never heard of the 8th Prince coming over.
But from these ten days,
she takes very good care of her younger sister.
From food to clothes, she pays close attention,
fearing that I wouldn't be feeling comfortable.
If I cannot return, then I can only depend on her in this time.
But thinking about 8th Prince's ending,
I don't think it's very dependable.
But that's in the far future.
We can't do anything about it for now.
Are you tired, Second Miss?
I'll do it myself.
Although it's already past noon, the sun is still deadly.
You've just recovered, why don't we return?
Okay.
I think Jie'jie (older sister) should be done with her scriptures.
Let's return
Qiaohui, let me test you.
What do you want to test me on?
Do you remember my dad?
My father...
What's his usual favorite food?
Mongolian Boiled Lamb!
That's right!
What's his favorite drink?
Horse Milk Wine.
Your memory is really great!
What about my sister?
Chrysanthemum cake.
What about me?
Water Chestnut cake.
Amazing!
Seriously, Ruoxi!
You have just recovered.
The sunlight is scorching outside.
Aren't you afraid of getting a stroke from the heat?
I'm not that delicate.
Besides, after I walked around...
I actually feel a lot better.
Come.
Smells so fragrant!
Indeed, you are looking much better.
But you still need to rest more.
Come.
These bird's nest and date cakes are very nourishing.
Bird's nest?
Thank you!
In the past, you were like a wild horse.
You won't even listen to father.
After your fall, your personality has improved.
You're starting to show the aura of a maiden.
And you understand the rules better.
Really?
So your sister was like that?
What did you say?
I said the bird's nest cake is delicious.
What's wrong?
Second Miss, have some water.
I was just saying how you're starting to understand the rules
and you show your true personality again.
Really, it's not like anyone is snatching it from you.
Should I tell her I am not her sister, Ruoxi?
No.
She wouldn't believe me even if I told her.
She might even think I'm crazy.
Jie'jie, how long have I been here?
You've forgotten all these things?
Maybe the fall injured my head?
So I can't remember lots of things.
You've been here for almost 3 months.
Earlier, you mentioned the maiden selection.
Did Father send me here because of the maiden selection?
Not only that.
Father said, Mother died early
and you wouldn't listen to our Aunt.
You got more and more unruly.
At least you will listen to me,
so he sent you here.
Then, how long until the maiden selections?
There's still half a year.
So you still have to time to practice.
No way. No way.
That's too risky.
And I have to enter the palace for maiden selections.
What a joke!
Do you think it's a beauty contest?
Half a year, I should leave as soon as possible.
How did the main characters in novels and movies return?
Electricity?
Where would there be electricity?
Break the speed barrier?
No way.
I need my brainwaves to return, not my body.
Second Miss, don't go.
Qiaohui! Didn't you and my sister want me to recover faster?
Take me to see the place of the accident.
Is there a problem?!
But Madam said...
Only the Heavens, you and I will know about it!
Where is it?
Here.
Miss, have you forgotten how you fell?
How did I fall?
At that time, you were lying here.
You fell down these stairs.
Did you see what happened?
Princess Mingyu was there.
She said you fell down by yourself.
Is that so?
I'm certain what I saw while I was unconscious before the car crash was real.
That's very frightening.
If I fall from here again,
my soul might leave this body.
In a blink of an eye, I'll return to year 2011.
But, am I dead or alive there?
If I don't try, how will I know?
Second Miss, let's go back.
We're about to eat.
I'll help you down.
Qiaohui.
Do you miss your parents?
And worry that your brother won't take care of them well?
I do.
But my younger siblings are home.
They would take care of my parents well.
I wonder if the sky they see is the same as the one I see?
Sky?
What's different about the sky?
We cannot predict the future.
The most heartbreaking is
when the elderly have to bury the young.
This little lady is interesting.
She doesn't sound like a little girl at all from the way she talks.
Exactly. It sounds like you've experienced a lot at such a young age.
Your age doesn't match your maturity.
What was that about?
Greetings 9th Prince. Greetings 10th Prince.
No need for formalities. Rise.
Are you from the Maertai family as well?
10th brother, let's go.
8th brother has returned.
We still have a lot of things to discuss.
Right, I saw something interesting and forgot about work.
9th brother, wait for me.
Never thought that when I came to the 8th Prince's estate,
instead of seeing the 8th Prince first,
I saw the ones recorded in history as the Venomous Ninth
and the Idiotic Tenth.
He does seem like an idiot.
I'll take my leave.
Please.
Second Miss.
Let's just walk around a little, okay?
Second Miss.
I think now that you're better,
you're becoming more and more audacious.
You want to go here, there and everywhere.
Qiaohui, if I stay inside any longer, I'll start growing mold.
People can grow mold?
Don't you feel
that my body is full of mold?
Second miss, I don't understand what you're saying.
-Second Miss! -Come and take a look
Come and take a look.
Buy one.
This one's good.
Come.
What is this?
It's an iron.
This is an iron?
When Second Miss was hard to handle in the past,
a few of us maids discussed in private
that we should look for a huge iron to subdue you.
Yes, yes, yes, buy one.
Was I hard to handle in the past?
It was just a joke.
I think so, too.
Is this the CBD (Central Business District) of the Capital?
What 'di' is Second Miss talking about?
The biggest and busiest place?
Yup. This is Dashilan'er (600 year-old shopping street in Beijing).
Dashilan'er?
Yes.
I used to come here often.
I can't believe it kept its old Beijing look.
Second Miss.
You have only been here for 3 months.
This is the first time you left Bei'le's estate.
How could you have come often?
That being said,
how did you know about old Beijing?
I've heard about this.
Move away, Move away, Move away.
Move away! Faster! Go, go, go!
Second Miss, let's move aside
Move aside! Move aside! Go! Go!
Qiaohui, what are they doing?
You don't know?
I heard that the Emperor is coming back to the Capital.
They are here to welcome His Majesty.
The Emperor?
Yes.
You are so fierce
No wonder your boyfriend is cheating on you.
You! Wait!
-Second Miss! -Wait!
Second Miss.
Please make way!
-Sorry. -Second Miss!
Move!
Worker, where is Huang Di (homonym of Emperor)?
How dare you! What are you saying?
I asked you where is Huang Di!
Your servant deserves death.
Second Miss, are you all right?
4th Prince, spare us!
We're from the Eighth Bei'le's estate.
The Fourth Prince.
Yong Zhen.
Second Miss.
Second Miss, you're finally back!
Dongyu, don't be so loud!
What if my sister finds out that I snuck out?
Your servant deserve to die.
but they already found out.
Didn't I ask you to say that I was resting in the room?
How did my sister find out?
I...
Dongyu, what is going on?
Because...
Because Second Miss snuck out,
they're all punished with 20 strokes.
My Heavens!
Second Miss!
Second Miss. Second Miss.
Stop hitting, stop hitting. Stop!
Second Miss, don't bother.
If not, you might also be dragged into the punishments
Nonsense! They're going to be killed!
That is so cruel.
Stop. Second Miss. Second Miss.
They won't listen.
They only listen to their master.
Second Miss. Second Miss. Second Miss.
Don't run.
Don't run, Second Miss.
Second Miss.
Jie'jie, don't hit those servants anymore.
Aren't you benevolent?
-Why did you punish them so heavily? -Ruoxi,
Don't be impolite.
Come and greet Di'fujin (first wife).
Ruoxi greets Di'fujin.
Madam.
What did you just say? So cruel?
I was only...
Only trying to save the innocent servants.
Those innocent servants were punished by me.
So you can say,
your sister still has the heart of a Buddha,
while I have the heart of a venomous snake.
Is that correct?
Ruoxi didn't mean to offend.
I will apologize to you on her behalf.
Please forgive her.
You sisters only look alike.
Your personalities are completely different
One calm and solitary, the other unruly and wild.
You must know that this estate has its rules.
If a servant makes mistakes,
he must be punished.
Therefore if a master makes a mistake,
she will also have to be punished.
Also, the punishment must be more severe.
Girl, you can fool your sister,
but you can't fool me.
You left the estate on your own,
and you still dare to argue with me?
Do you know what kind of punishment you should receive?
I beg you on her behalf for forgiveness.
Ruoxi is still young.
She just arrived here and doesn't know the rules.
Then why don't you say
that as an older sister, you didn't teach her well.
Yes. Ruolan was wrong.
I am willing to be punished.
As Ce'fujin (second wife), you should be punished more severely than anyone else.
No. I should take responsibilities for my own actions.
Your reasons do not make sense.
If Jie'jie has to be responsible for my actions,
then aren't you logically responsible for her actions too?
As the Di'fujin, you are in charge of this household.
Then don't you have to be punished even more severely?
How dare you!
Don't. Don't!
Let go!
Jie'jie!
-Jie'jie. -Today, I must teach you a lesson.
Stop fighting.
Both of you stop fighting! Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting, Madam. Stop fighting.
-Let go! -Madam!
Madam!
Are you alright? Madam! Madam!
Are you okay?
There's blood.
What should we do? What should we do?
What should we do? There's blood!
Go get a doctor. Get a doctor.
Quick, get the imperial physician.
Yes.
Quick. Help Madam back to her room.
Slowly. Slowly. Madam, slowly. Be careful.
Be careful, Madam.
Madam, are you okay?
Jie'jie.
You were also harmed from that kick.
Do you want to get a physician to take a look?
No need for that. Don't worry about me.
And, I have already sent someone
to heal the punished servants.
Don't be sad for them anymore.
Jie'jie, go on and scold me.
It was my fault.
That whoever Di'fujin,
will definitely come cause trouble.
Allow me to be audacious.
Di'fujin has always disliked our lady.
She will not let our lady live peacefully.
Qiaohui.
Jie'jie.
Why are you allowing yourself to be bullied?
A talent like you doesn't deserve to be trapped here
and share a man with another woman.
Ruoxi, don't say anymore.
Truthfully, women should also have pride.
As long as we have to ability and not depend on someone else,
we can also take half the world.
So what if you never marry?
As long as you happily live freely,
why would you have to suffer her bullying?
Ruoxi.
How can you say these audacious words out loud?
Don't you know your own status?
Second Miss.
What you said was just too...
Too futuristic, huh?
Futuristic? What's futuristic?
You probably don't think like this.
Ruoxi, I know how you feel.
You understand?
We both grew up in Xibei.
We're used to living without restrictions.
But this is the Capital,
the Prince's estate.
We cannot break the rules.
I don't want to stay here.
You still have this personality.
But it was because you were trying to help me before,
you accidentally pushed Di'fujin.
I am really touched.
Anyway, as long as you keep within the boundaries
and stay within your own wing,
you can be as daring as you want.
I will always dote on you.
Jie'jie, actually...
The younger sister which you see in front of you
is no longer the Ruoxi from the past.
I know.
You know?
I knew a long time ago.
I know you are more mature than before
and you know how to care for people.
Ruoxi, you have grown.
I feel like I'm swindling her feelings.
What do I have to do to tell her?
If I was hit by the horse today,
I wonder if I would really return to the modern times.
But if that wasn't the case,
I may have to stay in the Qing Dynasty forever.
This won't do.
I want to return. I want to return!
I have to find a map.
I need to find the location of the car crash.
There's a better chance of traveling through time if I was at the same place.
Very logical. It should work.
It will definitely work.
Miss, why are you up?
Morning.
Dongyun, tell everyone to just clean according to the rules.
This is just a family dinner, don't cause such a commotion.
Yes.
Jie'jie!
Second Miss.
Jie'jie.
Madam.
Everyone is so busy. Is something happening?
Nothing important.
Second Miss.
8th Prince's servant came just now to say
that the prince is having dinner here.
Prince?
8th Prince!
No wonder all the servants are so busy.
Qiaohui, this is Second Miss' first meeting with him.
She must follow the rules and etiquettes.
Even though it is only a family dinner,
you must help her get ready properly, understand?
Don't worry, Madam. I understand.
Tonight, I can meet the historically famous "Virtuous 8th Prince".
I really am curious.
Although I know from history
that 8th Prince lost the battle for the throne.
But this 8th Prince has always been the Qing Dynasty Emperor,
Yong Zheng's deadly enemy.
Someone who is able to make Yong Zheng feel wary and cautious
must be far from ordinary.
Qiaohui.
How many layers am I wearing?
Only six.
Six?!
Ah! I forgot one layer.
What else do I have to wear?
This...
What is this?
Chest cover.
I'm going to die from the heat!
Is it really that hot?
Jie'jie.
If the 8th Prince is not here soon,
I'll go back and change out of this outfit.
This is like torture.
Endure it a little longer.
Jie'jie, I'll go and relieve myself.
Qiaohui, accompany Second Miss.
Yes.
No! I'll go by myself.
Hot! I'm going to die from the heat!
I'm going to die from the heat!
The make up from ancient times
is not waterproof, is it?
What would I do if I ruined my makeup?
Don't cry.
You are...
You are Ruoxi, right?
Eighth Bei'le Master.
Greetings.
Excused.
I thought you were crying.
No, no, no...
It's because I'm wearing so many layers of clothes that I'm perspiring.
Thank you, Eighth Bei'le.
The other day, I heard that you fell from the upper stairs.
The injury probably wasn't light.
Next time, you should be careful.
What? Shouldn't you return?
Thank you, Sister-in-law. You should also sit.
You're already here.
Eighth brother.
Why did you two come together?
We coincidentally met outside.
Greetings, Bei'le.
Excused.
Thank you, Bei'le.
Qiaohui, prepare to bring the food.
Yes. Madam.
9th brother. 10th brother. Sit.
Yes
It's a family dinner, don't be so polite.
Of course, 8th brother.
Why would I have to be polite in your estate?
When have you ever been polite?
That's true.
This time, I also went to Xibei after the expedition
and visited General Maertai.
He has been fine.
Yes.
You're skinnier.
Get Qiaohui to brew some tonics to improve your health.
Thank you, Bei'le
This 8th Prince is kind and elegant.
He takes such care of both Jie'jie and I.
It's hard not to have feelings for this type of man.
But it is hard to imagine, that in history,
he was full of schemes.
What's wrong?
10th brother, what's so funny about Ruoxi choking?
It's not like that.
I just thought...
When I choked in the past,
I didn't do that as beautifully as Ruoxi did.
10th brother is getting better at compliments.
Second Miss.
How is it?
Another cup.
Qiaohui.
You moved here with my sister when she got married.
You should know everything about Jie'jie.
Then what do you think
about how Jie'jie treats 8th Prince?
What do you think, Second Miss?
Feels as if she doesn't really care.
Though, she's very serious about Buddhist scriptures.
Second Miss already has her own thoughts,
why are you asking me?
Then what do you think
about how 8th Prince treats Jie'jie?
Second Miss.
Qiaohui can only say to you this.
8th Prince rarely comes here. He leaves quickly as well.
He doesn't stay here for long.
It's considered neither good or bad.
They've been polite to each other for 5 years.
The wives who came before and after her have already had children.
But our lady's attitude...
You've seen it for yourself.
But I think Jie'jie is fine like this.
But everyone else doesn't think this way.
Second Miss.
Aren't you going to rest, Second Miss?
I'm going to sleep.
You should hurry back and rest too.
Okay. Go back, go back.
Rest early, Second Miss.
I know 8th Prince's future.
If Jie'jie hasn't fallen for him, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Knowing the endings of these historical figures
gives quite a helpless feeling.
I can't even take care of my own business,
why should I bother with other people's?
I better hurry and think about how to return.
Hot!
I want air conditioning! I want ice cream!
Hot!
One, return.
Two, die.
Three, crippled.
Worth it.
No horse?
Horse is coming.
Miss, are you alright?
Did you get injured?
Who told you to stop the horse?
How come it's you again?
This is 13th Prince.
13th Prince?
How are you?
Stand up.
What is it?
My ankle is twisted.
Thank you.
You know my 4th brother?
My sister is 8th Prince's Ce'fujin.
You're from the Eighth estate?
You don't look like it.
8th brother is gentle and elegant.
Everyone in his estate is trained and isn't too different from him.
However, you're not inside embroidering.
Instead, you're running the streets in broad daylight.
I just came here. I'm so bored.
-Let's go -I'll take you back.
Thank you for saving me, princes.
I have a favor to ask.
Say it.
This matter cannot spread to 8th Prince's estate
Or else, I'll surely be dead.
Okay, I promise you.
You really are a hero.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Greetings, 4th Prince and 13th Prince.
Ruoxi, what's wrong with your leg?
What happened?
I accidentally fell earlier when I was taking a walk.
Luckily, the two princes happen to be looking for 8th Prince
and sent me back here.
Is 8th brother here?
Send someone to notify 8th Prince.
Yes, Madam.
Please wait in the living room.
Wait.
Ruoxi, can I have a word with you?
13th Prince, this way.
4th Prince.
You weren't just randomly running.
You saw our horses and purposely ran over.
You wanted to die.
I...
Why would I seek death?
4th Prince is mistaken.
That was a coincidence.
The first time was a coincidence, but not this time.
If you still want to die next time,
I won't pull the reins.
I am only doing this to live.
There are too many things I can't let go.
Why would I want to die?
What you're saying is really strange.
Medicine for your injuries.
4th Prince
Thank you.
I saved your life.
In the future, don't even think about killing yourself without my permission.
Slow down, Second Miss.
-Second Miss -Ruoxi.
Second Miss.
You leg has not fully recovered.
Why are you not resting?
You're even walking around.
I'm fine.
I already took the medicine from last time.
I feel much better.
We really should thank the 4th and 13th Prince.
We should go visit and thank them.
I've already thanked them last time.
There's no need to do it again.
This is basic etiquette.
The two princes shouldn't mind about doing these little things.
But if Di'fujin were to find out,
I'm afraid she'll make a mountain out of a molehill.
You certainly know how to worm your way out of things.
Is this how you use your smarts?
Jie'jie, this letter is addressed to you.
Why aren't you reading it?
The eunuch in charge of reading letters is not here today.
Just leave it aside.
For simple jobs like reading letters...
Let me do it for you.
You know how to read letters?
What's so difficult about that?
It is a piece of cake.
Okay.
Since its a letter from Father and Eldest Brother,
You can read it.
This is a letter for Ruolan.
It has been a long time since we've communicated.
We have missed you.
Reading your letters is almost as good as seeing you in person.
What word is this?
Words of farewell.
Something win something...?
Something, something.
Something, horse deity.
There's even a horse deity?
No.
Jie'jie.
I have not seen you for a long time.
I thought you had improved
and was able to read letters and books.
So that wasn't the case.
Jie'jie. As for this letter, I think
it's better if you wait for the eunuch to read it for you.
Have you given up?
No.
I think I better start studying from the beginning.
Then, I'll head back first.
"The falling leaves herald the leaving of winter."
"The Autumn winds over the lake moves the tourist's heart."
"The wisdom of children..."
"As night falls, a lamp burns brightly in the dark."
To think that as a modern person,
I've studied at school for 16 years
and can be considered somewhat of a scholar...
But I've become illiterate here.
Thank goodness I came into this young lady's body,
so I won't have to worry about clothing or food.
Otherwise,
I would starve to death since I can't work.
Little ants, don't run, don't run.
Come, play with me.
Greetings to 8th Prince. Greetings to 10th Prince
Rise.
Seeing how you were just now,
I was wondering what could be so fun to play with.
It looks like I overestimated her.
To be esteemed by you isn't really an honor.
Reading Song poems?
Yes.
She's playing with ants.
She was just pretending to look like a scholar.
Little kid,
pretending to be some big Prince in front of me?
Haven't you heard?
"To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower."
Though I am looking at ants,
but in reality, I am not looking at them.
10th brother, you must learn well.
A fool is a fool.
Only one sentence was enough to turn you mute.
Can't argue.
You read Buddhist scriptures?
I hear it often from Jie'jie, so I know a little.
She does read a lot.
She only asks that her heart is in peace.
There are meanings behind the 8th Prince's words.
His true feelings are hidden.
If you were a boss,
you would be a boss among the bosses.
You know all these words?
Yes.
I know them, but they don't know me.
But we are getting to know each other.
8th brother, listen to what she's saying.
How will you get yourself to know them better?
I'm guessing my way through.
How can that work?
If that's the case, none of us need teachers!
We can just guess.
Let's leave.
We're going horseback riding, do you want to come?
Horseback riding?
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's go.
I've made profit!
What did you just see?
I'm not telling you.
Why did you make that sound before?
Fine. If you want to know, you have to give me some rewards.
Aren't you a little too realistic?
I was only asking.
But you want rewards?
You can't put it like that.
I was the one who saw something interesting.
Since you want to know,
of course you should pay up.
Unless you don't pay when you're listening to stories?
Here.
Now can you tell me?
What? You want more?
I'm not a money-grubber like you.
And you say that you're not?!
If you're not a money-grubber, what are you?
I can't think of what I want at the moment.
How about this?
In the future, accept one of my requests.
It definitely won't be something you can't do.
Besides, what's so hard about a prince doing a little girl a favor?
Yes. Okay then.
I promise you. Tell me.
Then you better remember well.
I have a witness.
I remember, you can say it.
Although there are many people on the street,
but there are no obstacles in our carriage path.
Everyone who could see us has gotten out of the way a long time ago.
However, there are no signs to show that 8th Prince is inside.
I was wondering why at that time,
that's why I made a sound.
Then why did you shake your head?
Then I thought about it.
Usually, ordinary people do not ride on a carriage like this.
Also, this is so near the royal family.
These peasants have experience.
Though they don't know who's in the carriage,
at least they know it's not wrong to make way.
As for shaking my head,
I only felt that I became the fox.
Fox?
What does this have to do with a fox?
"Fox borrowing Tiger's fierceness" (Chinese idiom)
I understand. Fox borrowing Tiger's fierceness.
This was it?
You swindled a favor out of a great Qing Prince over this?
I need to make you guess what I'm thinking about.
Wait.
No. This one's too old.
Come.
This one is too young.
His personality hasn't even developed yet.
What were you thinking? Where's the horse?!
Bring Linglong here.
Yes.
That horse is gentle.
You can ride it safely.
Ruoxi, you're so lucky.
8th brother actually let you ride Linglong.
Wait for me.
So handsome.
Ruoxi, Ruoxi!
Why are you daydreaming? Get on the horse.
Why are you hesitating?
Are you riding or not?
Go ride your own horse.
Why do you care so much about what I'm doing?
I'll go and ride after you get on.
Horses are meant to be ridden,
not to be stared at.
I don't know how to ride.
What did you say?
You're always showing off and looking proud...
To think you don't even know how to ride a horse?
How did your father raise you?
So what if I can't ride?
If you can't ride,
I'll help you hold the reins.
Yes, let him hold the reins for you.
Come.
Weren't you going to help me?
Hold it.
I'll hold it.
Come, be careful.
-Thanks! -Sit steady
Be careful.
What are you looking at? Daydreaming again?
Let's go, you!
You only know how to bully me.
If you keep bullying me, I'll let go.
Let go.
I'll let go.
-Let go -I let go
Just kidding.
If you want status, this 8th Prince has it.
If you want looks, he also has it.
The ultimate man.
Comparisons are odious.
At least I'm a princess right now.
