Qiao hui: Is it really true that you don’t remember anything? Its just the two of us you can tell me. Your lying right? Jang xiao:What? Qiao hui: The prince and his wife don’t know. Ive been by your side everyday. What is this really about? Did you have rendezvous with a gentlemen from another household? Or do you have a lot of debt? Jang xiao: ( feels shock) is ruo xi this kind of girl? So does she pretend to be a good girl.. but then she goes to meet men at night? Qiao hui: Shes not that bad. But why are you speaking like youre talking about another person? Owhh, you really must be injured. Jang xiao: ( I should keep my mouth shut. They say im crazy if I say im not ruo xi). Qiao hui? Qiao hui: Yes? Jang xiao:There is another girl inside of me. ( nevermind, no need to die twice) ( sigh) qiao hui? I have no wrinkles around my mouth right? Qiao hui: What?

Jang xiao: ( poke and examine her face). My god she is so nice and firm. My word. She took great care of herself in Qing even though they just ate vegetables.

Everyone is so envious Jang xiao: ( I suppose I felt I could trust him too) Princess hwangbo: This is disrespectful. Qiao Hui: We would like to greet you princess. Qiao Hui: Lady. You should great Princess hwangbo ( forcely nudge her) Jang xiao: ( this woman is a princess? Sure, there are princes. Of course theres a princess.

Princess hwangbo: Leave her be. I heard she lost her memory. However, it seems that she lost her manners too. What shall we do? I suppose it would not hurt for you to learn from the very beginning. Jang xiao: ( she like to put people down in a strange, roundabout way.) Princess hwangbo: You should not be looking at what a married couple is doing. I will deal it harshly if it happens again…even if you are her cousin. Do you understand? Jang xiao: (those crooked eyes and mouth. Look how tense her hands look. Ive been through all sorts of crap before and right here…) Jang xiao: If you don’t like me, just say so. Princess hwangbo: What did you say? Jang xiao: I can tell just by looking. Youre trying to look for a reason to pick on me in order to set me straight. (hmm) that doesn’t work on me. I have been through this a lot. Princess hwangbo: What is this girl saying to me? Qiao Hui: Forgive her, princess. Lady ruo xi is not in a right mind yet. Jang xiao: Are you saying im crazy?

Qiao Hui:No, that’s not it. Princess hwangbo: You wench. You dare to act that way in this household? Jang xiao: Wench?

Ruo xi:I Please forgive me your Majesty! have commited a deadly crime! ( bows down) Emperor kangxi: Are you afraid of the king? Ruo xi: ( get your act together. A tyrant wants the people to be scared of him. But a wise emperor wants to be respected by the people. ) Ruo xi: You are a good and wise king, so I am not afraid. Kangxi: A good and wise king? Why do you think I am a good and wise king? Empress dowager:(smirk) Kangxi: Were you planning on getting away with it by using some flattery? Ruo xi: (please,please.please,) ( . He ascended the throne at the age of 8 and arrested Oboi. He suppressed the revolt of the three Feudatories and defeated the Dzungars .think of something, you have to think.) Ruo xi: Well, emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han are lacking in literary talent. Emperor Tai Zhong and Emperor Taizu are not as poetic. The heavenly pride Genghis Khan only knew how to hunt with his bow. All are past and gone. Among all great heroes the best one can only be found in this dynasty. Emperor Kangxi: HAHAHAHA. She is very clever

Ruo xi: Ahh my junior high history teacher.. im sorry for cursing you when you made us memorize this. Thank you. You’’ll be blessed. Emperor: I see fighting is not all that youre good at.

Jang xiao: Hahahahaha ( Meeting) Lady Ruolan: come. This bird nest Jujube Cake is good for your health. Jang xiao: Bird nest? (wow) Thank you!. (hungrily eat) Lady ruo lan: You were so out of control and disobedient. You didn’t even listen to your father. But ever since the accident, you’ve changed. You’ve become more gentle… and obedient. Jang xiao: Am i? so that’s the characteristics of your sister ( put the food in the mouth) Lady ruo lan: what did you say?
