14th Prince/Dates

## Getting Sick

**14th Prince:** Is it [MC]? Come on in.

**MC:** Yes. What can I help you with, 14th Prince?

**14th Prince:** Well, I’m sick. So I sent for you to check me.

What Illness
**14th Prince:** It’s very serious, almost incurable.
**MC:** I have a few medical skills. Let me feel your pulse.
**14th Prince:** No feeling pulse. I have love sickness. Do you have a cure for that?

No
**14th Prince:** I can’t. I’m afraid she may refuse me.
**MC:** It’s rare that you have something you dare not to do. Tell me who is this girl that’s caught you eye. Need my advice?
**14th Prince:** Yes. You’re the girl. Any advice for me to win your heart?
**MC:** You make fun of me again. If you’ll excuse me.
**14th Prince:** I’m not joking. Don’t go. I’m sick. I need kisses and hugs to get better.

Yes
**14th Prince:** Oh yeah? Then hurry up and cure me.
**MC:** See this teapot? I’ve put the medicine into it. Drink it up and you’ll recover.
**14th Prince:** (14th Prince gulps down the tea) Done. Why am I not feeling any better?
**MC:** Maybe you haven’t drunk enough of it. Drink another teapot of tea.
**14th Prince:** Another teapot? Are you trying to kill me with too much tea?
**MC:** Yep. Because you seem to have too much time to kill.

Why not send for an imperial doctor
**14th Prince:** No physician. Only you can cure me of this sickness.
**MC:** But I don’t know a thing about medicine. If you are sick for real, you’d better see a physician as soon as possible. I can’t afford to make your illness get worse.
**14th Prince:** Relax. I’m just kidding. Look at you, all serious and worried.

You've gone too far
**14th Prince:** You know what? Both of us have gone too far.
**MC:** I’ve always been obedient. I don’t think I have done anything wrong.
**14th Prince:** You’re far too beautiful, and I’m far too obsessed about you.
**MC:** You make fun of me again. If you’ll excuse me.

I'm relieved you're not ill
**14th Prince:** Was there an earthquake?
**MC:** No, I didn’t feel anything.
**14th Prince:** Then why was I shocked at the sight of you?
**MC:** Maybe you have a heart disease. I suggest you see a doctor.

## Being Late

**14th Prince:** Do you have any idea how long you’ve kept me waiting?

**MC:** Sorry, 14th Prince. Put the sword down. I can explain.

**14th Prince:** I don’t want to hear it. Do you know why I asked you to come over?

No
**14th Prince:** A war’s broken out at the frontier fortress. Father orders me to fight the war. I’m not sure if I can come back alive. Will you wait for me?
**MC:** Wars are unpredictable and vicious. Please stay safe. The whole country will be waiting for you to win the war and return.
**14th Prince:** Good. This sword was a gift from my grandfather. I want you to have it.

Accept
**14th Prince:** Of course not. How can I let a woman go to the battle field?!
**MC:** Hua Mulan joined the army for her father. Why can’t I join the army for you?
**14th Prince:** You, you, you! I take you as my... And you want me to be your father?!
**MC:** No, I dare not. However, you’re so weak that you can’t even defeat me. How about you take me there to protect you?
**14th Prince:** I let you win on purpose. Of course I can defeat you. Wait here for me, until I come back.

Refuse
**14th Prince:** The enemies are just a group of rats. They will collapse upon my arrival. Why bother to stain this sword with their blood?
**MC:** But it’s a precious sword. I can’t...
**14th Prince:** Take it. I’ll come back no matter what. The Plough in the sky and trees on the earth will guide my way home.
**MC:** Well, I’ll take care of it for you. Hope you use your brains instead of your muscles in battlefields. I’ll pray for you safety and victory.
**14th Prince:** Don’t worry, and wait for me to come back.

Yes
**14th Prince:** Yep, it’s a treasure. It’s a sachet exquisitely made by Magic-Hand Workshop, in which there are a hundred flowers I collected. It’s said to be able to protect the wearer from various diseases.
**MC:** One hundred flowers? Plants flower at different times of the year. It must have taken you at least a year to collect them. Let me see.
**14th Prince:** Yeah. This sachet with a constant fragrance can help tranquilize the mind and calm the emotions. And insomnia...

What is embroidered on it
**14th Prince:** Shame?! I personally made...
**MC:** Oh, it’s a real treasure then. Which lady would be so lucky to have it?
**14th Prince:** Humph. It has been stained by you vulgarity and is no more a treasure. You can keep it.

Is this for me
**14th Prince:** Yes. You said you had a hard time falling asleep. Now I have given you such a big gift, aren’t you gonna give me something in return?
**MC:** But I’m not like you. I have nothing to give you. I think I’d better get going.
**14th Prince:** Hey, don’t go away. Come back! Anything is fine.

## Food

**14th Prince:** Oh, it’s you. Come over.

**MC:** What are you doing with these condiments, 14th Prince? Have you moved the Imperial Kitchen here?

**14th Prince:** Father took us hunting yesterday, and granted me a lot of prey. I brought some for you.

Refuse
**14th Prince:** Relax. I’ve sent away all the guards around here with an excuse.
**MC:** But I still don’t want it, I’m on a diet trying to lose some weight. Eating grilled food is the last thing I would do.
**14th Prince:** Stop mumbling. I don’t care. Grill the deer’s leg for me.

Okay
**14th Prince:** Something is burning? Can you smell it?
**MC:** Burning? No. I just put this on the grill.
**14th Prince:** The crackle of my heart burning. Can you hear it?
**MC:** Nonsense. It’s the wood fire that is crackling. Wow! How delicious.
**14th Prince:** Alas. Foodie.

No
**14th Prince:** No way. I only grill food for the girl I like.
**MC:** (Snatch it away) Is there anyone you like? Wow, tasty...
**14th Prince:** Of course I do.
**MC:** What does she look like? Is she pretty? Pass the deer’s leg to me.
**14th Prince:** Look at yourself in a mirror, and you will know. Foodie.

Agree
**14th Prince:** Have you put on some weight?
**MC:** Have I? I don’t think so.
**14th Prince:** Then why are you weighing more and more on my mind?

Mess Around
**14th Prince:** You... Crazy girl. Give me back my drumstick.
**MC:** No way. Asking me to return the food you gave me!? You’re narrow-minded indeed.
**14th Prince:** Ah, I give up.

Confess
**14th Prince:** The breeze is gentle.
**MC:** The drumstick is tasty, and the deer’s leg too.
**14th Prince:** Yeah. Everything is nice.

## Lake Center

**14th Prince:** What did my mother give you? Let me see.

**MC:** No! All your power and status, yet you still covet my humble belongings?

**14th Prince:** I’ve rowed this boat into the middle of the lake, and you tell me no? (Tossing Oar) Care to reconsider?

Alright
**14th Prince:** Wow, the dragon-phoenix jade pendant!
**MC:** Dragon-what-now? Is it valuable?
**14th Prince:** This used to belong to my grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother. Does that count as valuable to you?
**MC:** Oh, your grandmother’s.
**14th Prince:** No, for the emperor to give this to you... Are you one of his bastards? Was your mother Xia Yuhe?
**MC:** What are you talking about... You’re overthinking this.
**14th Prince:** No, I need to know! I’m going back to ask my mother. Let’s... Wait, how do we get back?
**MC:** What are you asking me for?

No!
**14th Prince:** Oh, right, I can’t. Now what?
**MC:** You should have thrown it aside more gently. With all your force, you heaved it clear onto dry land.
**14th Prince:** Is that so? Well, I have noticed my arms getting stronger lately.
**MC:** I only hope your brain grows to match. I’m leaving, but enjoy your muscles.
**14th Prince:** Don’t leave me here! Where are you going?
**MC:** Where? To find someone to save you.
**14th Prince:** Oh, in that case, hurry up, I’m scared!

## Catching Game

You are playing games with several little princes and princesses. You let them blindfold your eyes, then start searching after they scatter laughingly.

You stretch out your hand and reach around, and suddenly you hit someone. Caught off guard, you take two steps back and you are quickly held by someone. What do you do?

Unveil the band
**MC:** Oh it’s you... Wait, did you wait for me to run into?
**14th Prince:** [Sighs] I haven’t blamed you for hitting me yet, don’t accuse me.
**MC:** I guessed it right, you did wait there!
**14th Prince:** Yes, I did it on purpose. I was waiting for a lost girl to run into me, so that she would fall flat on her face.
**MC:** Hey, that’s inappropriate! If that’s the case, I’ll have to punish you.
**14th Prince:** How?
You go around the 14th Prince and stand on your toes to blindfold him smilingly.
**MC:** It’s your turn! Hurry up, the little ones are waiting.
**14th Prince:** Okay, I’ll play the seeker. Be careful, if you’re caught... I might not let you go.

Guess who he is
**14th Prince:** Wait, don’t run wild! You’re shameless!
**MC:** [Untie the band] It’s you! Why did you speak? I almost made the right guess!
**14th Prince:** Had I kept my mouth shut, you’d fumble about my whole body.
**MC:** [Blush] Never! I almost made the right guess!
**14th Prince:** Then I’ll give you another chance. Turn around and I’ll blindfold you.
**MC:** Why am I the seeker again? Any reward for catching someone?
**14th Prince:** I’ll tell you when I’m caught... Well, congratulations, the 14th Prince is yours.

## Getting Sick

**14th Prince:** I heard you were ill? Why didn’t you say anything to me?

**MC:** You have so much work on your plate. I didn’t want to worry you with trifles.

**14th Prince:** Nonsense, is this a trifle? You haven’t called the Imperial Physician?

Accept
**14th Prince:** The Prince anticipated you might refuse my services, so he decided to call me in advance. He sent me a message first thing this morning.
**MC:** Thank you, doctor. Prince, what did the physician just whisper to you?
**14th Prince:** He said that it’s a good thing he got here when he did. But alas, he was still too late.

Make Final Arrangements
**14th Prince:** What? You have savings? Let me see!
**MC:** What are you in such a rush for, it’ll be yours sooner or later.
**14th Prince:** You really do! Give it to me, I’ll buy some drinks to celebrate.
**MC:** Hey! I’m not dead yet, and you’re already celebrating?
**14th Prince:** Yep! You’re already better. The doctor said he was too late... Your body healed itself on its own.

Call For Help
**14th Prince:** Hahaha, I’m just kidding. He said it was a good thing he came early, if he’d been later, you would have healed on your own.
**MC:** You... Scared me to death! Sob sob.
**14th Prince:** You’re not completely healthy yet, lie back down.
**MC:** You scared the sickness right out me, I feel fine.
**14th Prince:** Oh, perhaps there’s a future for me as an apothecary.

Refuse
**14th Prince:** My father is the emperor, and I have every right to summon the Imperial Physician. Who would dare to complain?
**MC:** They’re just jealous of all you’ve accomplished. I know my body, I’m almost recovered.
**14th Prince:** I don’t know what to do with you. Remember to rest and relax. And if there’s anything you want to eat, I’ll have the kitchens send it up.

Lotus Crisps
**14th Prince:** Absolutely not. Lotus is a ‘cold’ food, won’t it make your illness worse? How about some chicken and pork soup?
**MC:** Oh, again?
**14th Prince:** We’ll use some wild fowl I hunted myself, just for you.
**MC:** Sure, that could be good, I suppose.

Sweet and Sour Fish
**14th Prince:** Hmm, but we don’t have any suitable fish in the kitchen.
**MC:** Oh, never mind then, I just had a craving.
**14th Prince:** But I hear my brother might have some. Rest assured, I’ll get it, even if I have to steal it.
**MC:** Slow down. If you’re going to steal any, steal a couple.

## Having Breakfast

The sky is starting to gleam and the drizzle falls gently. Before your eyes are fully open, you are taken out of the palace by the 14th Prince. He wants to have breakfast with you.

**14th Prince:** What do you want?

Congee
**14th Prince:** Okay, sit here... Can you open your eyes?
**MC:** No, I’m so sleepy. Why suddenly go out to eat breakfast outside the palace? Are you not satisfied with the Imperial Kitchen’s foods?
**14th Prince:** You are so unromantic, just eat the congee.
**MC:** Hey, what are you eating? Oh the smell! Let me have a try.
**14th Prince:** You call this trying?
**MC:** Ahem, you can have my congee.
**14th Prince:** Who just said that she has no appetite?
**MC:** But now it’s back! Besides, you’re the one who took me out for breakfast, of course you have to take care of me!
**14th Prince:** Okay, let’s take turns... But not only do I want to take care of you for today’s breakfast, I also want to be able to do so in the future.

Noodles
**14th Prince:** [Giggles] Take it slow, what’s the hurry... Is it good?
**MC:** [Stir the noodles] Well, you can try it too. It’s delicious. And I want some of your sweet cake.
**14th Prince:** Then shall we go out for breakfast more often?
**MC:** Sure. But why go out? The Imperial Kitchen is doing a good job.
**14th Prince:** It’s different.
**MC:** What’s the difference? Ah, a man’s heart, a deep ocean of secrets.
**14th Prince:** Silly, isn’t that easy... I want to be alone with you.

## Three Wishes

**14th Prince:** You’ve done well. I’ve decided to grant you three wishes.

**MC:** And they can be anything?

**14th Prince:** Of course. It’s a rare opportunity, so think it over?

Ask For Food
**14th Prince:** I offer you anything in the world and you ask for a cake?
**MC:** (While chewing) It’s delicious! I want to make another wish!
**14th Prince:** Oh? Well, go on. I’m listening.
**MC:** I want more Osmanthus cakes than I can eat!
**14th Prince:** ... Cai Xia, go to the Imperial Kitchen and bring up all of today’s Osmanthus cakes.
**MC:** I’m too stuffed to eat anymore. For my last wish, I want you to finish them.
**14th Prince:** Why, you...

Ask For a Favor
**14th Prince:** No! She needs to learn her lesson.
**MC:** Didn’t you say I could ask for anything?
**14th Prince:** How many times has Ming Yue tormented you? Have you forgotten what she did?
**MC:** She can be a bit of a bully, but she’s not a bad person. And besides, don’t you like her tea best of anyone’s?
**14th Prince:** You... You’re always focusing on people’s good sides. It’ll cost you one day, you know.
**MC:** I’m not scared, you’ll back me up.
**14th Prince:** You got that right. The next time she dares bully you. I’ll teach her a lesson for you.

## Disguising as Eunuch

On this day you suddenly feel like pranking, so you wander around the palace dressed up as a little eunuch. As you prepare to go back, you are stopped from behind by a familiar voice.

**14th Prince:** Hey that sneaky eunuch! Come here!

Go over with your head lowered
**14th Prince:** Which harem are you from? Why are you sneaking around here?
**MC:** I’m taking a stroll here because I’m not on duty today, it’s not sneaking around.
**14th Prince:** You’re lying and you didn’t answer me. Look up, let me see your face... Eh? You hear me?
**MC:** I’ve got sores on my face and I don’t want to scare you. I’ll take my leave if you could kindly accept.
**14th Prince:** Stop, did I allow you to leave? I’m not afraid of getting my eyes dirty, let me take a look...
The 14th Prince steps forward and grabs you. Crying out loud, you look up subconsciously and look at him directly in his eyes. He gets utterly shocked and stops talking immediately.
**MC:** [Stick your tongue out] It’s me, I didn’t mean to lie to you, I just didn’t want to let you know about my repulsive hobby.
**14th Prince:** [Pulls your hand hurriedly] Did I hurt you? Sorry I didn’t know it was you so I used a lot of strength. Does it hurt?

Pretend not to hear
**MC:** It’s me! It’s me! I’m not a thief.
**14th Prince:** [Surprised] Why did you dress up like a eunuch?
**MC:** For fun. I was about to get back and change clothes, and there you are.
**14th Prince:** I didn’t know you had such a repulsive hobby.
**MC:** It’s fun. Do you want to try it?
**14th Prince:** What? Dress up as a little eunuch?
**MC:** You? That’ll be boring... you have to be a maid. You’ll make a beautiful one.
**14th Prince:** I remember that I had stuff to do, see you... Fine, I’ll dress up as whoever you want me to.

## Sun Bathing

On this day, you borrow the guard's kitten and cuddle it under the sun at the imperial garden. As the spring breeze strokes your face and the quietness soothes you, you hear footsteps

**14th Prince:** What are you doing?

Drying the cat
**14th Prince:** In fact, you and the cat are almost the same.
**MC:** Are we? Am I melting as well?
**14th Prince:** [Holds the kitten into your arms carefully] Cuter than the kitten... Hey, I haven't heard that you had a cat before?
**MC:** This is Guard Li's kitten. It looks like a snowball, doesn't it?
**14th Prince:** [Holds the cat's face up] Guard Li's cat? Then why do you get to enjoy it?
**MC:** I borrowed his cat to cuddle. He is really generous, I've borrowed it many times!
**14th Prince:** [Frowns] If you like cats, I'll just get one for you... You don't need to ask Guard Li anymore.
**MC:** No, I'm afraid I can't take care of the cat myself. It's already satisfying to be able to play with it occasionally.
**14th Prince:** Actually, I also like cats very much. Next time you want to find Guard Li to borrow his cat, bring me along.

Drying myself
The 14th Prince raises an eyebrow and lies on the grass. The kitten lies between you and sleeps lazily.
**14th Prince:** Feels so peaceful... It's been a long time.
**MC:** You must be busy studying every day.
**14th Prince:** [Turns the head and looks at you] Everyone thinks that as a prince, there is nothing hard for me.
**MC:** Because what they don't know is that you are different. You are a person who wants to make this flourishing age more stable... Why are you smiling?
**14th Prince:** I am glad you understand me.
**MC:** You're welcome, put your hand out... The sun is shining on my eyes, please block it.
**14th Prince:** [Reaches out obediently] Close my eyes and there is your voice, open my eyes and there you are... How I wish times like this can stop.

## Extra Chapter 1

The autumn breeze is blowing and the sky is clear.

You hear that the 14th Prince whom you have not seen in a long time has just returned victorious from the desert, and is here to see the Emperor. You quickly go and wait outside the Imperial Study, hoping to see him.

An hour has passed, but you have yet to see him exit. Instead, leaning against the corridor pillar, you are starting to feel sleepy in the mild breeze.

Suddenly, someone pats your shoulder with great strength. You immediately startle awake and see the person you have missed so much.

**14th Prince:** What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?

The 14th Prince, dressed in armor, has his helmet in one hand. He smiles at you, eyes full of pleasant surprise.

**MC:** [Nod] Of course, I heard that Your Highness has entered the palace and came specially to see you. I have not seen you for two months, don’t tell me you haven’t thought of me at all?

**14th Prince:** How could that be possible? Take a look at what this is.

The 14th Prince takes out a scented sachet and swings it upon a finger. This was the sachet you gave him before he left, and it contains a protective talisman you asked for.

**14th Prince:** While I was in the army, I could only prevent myself from causing trouble out of a yearning for you because I had this with me. As soon as I came back, I came to the palace without changing out of my armor. Did you think that wasn’t for you as well?

**14th Prince:** If not, I could very well have entered the palace to see my father only after I’ve had enough rest.

**MC:** Alright, alright. I’ve misunderstood you, please accept my apologies.

**14th Prince:** There’s no need for anything like apologies. His Majesty has given me an interesting reward, why don’t you go out of the palace with me these few days?

**MC:** What interesting reward is it? I can go out of the palace with you, but I must still attend to my duties, so I can’t do so for a few days.

**14th Prince:** Why not? I just have to send someone to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs know. Is there anyone who would dare not give me face?

**MC:** [Cover your smile with a hand] That’s true, Your Highness is greatly favored by the Emperor lately, who would dare do that? In that case, I will borrow your authority this once and pack my things immediately.

**14th Prince:** Go, I’ll wait for you at the palace gates. Have someone send a carriage over along the way. I rushed here at top speed when I came, but now I can take my time going back with you.

## Extra Chapter 2

In the carriage, the 14th Prince keeps staring at you with interest. Unable to bear it, you rub your cheeks.

**MC:** Your Highness, is there something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me?

**14th Prince:** I haven’t seen you for two months, of course I have to hurry up and make up for that. Speaking of, have you gained weight over this period?

**MC:** Weight? Wow, Your Highness, have you come to insult me on purpose? I’ve clearly not changed.

**14th Prince:** Hmph, they all say, “My weight drops day by day, but I have no regrets becoming haggard for you”, but you haven’t changed at all. Seems like what you said about missing me was all false.

**MC:** ...I have nothing to say. I can only blame the meals in the palace for being too delicious, controlling my weight is the most I can do.

**14th Prince:** Perfect, I’ll take you out to lose weight later.

**MC:** Come to think of it, you haven’t told me where we’re going. This is clearly not the way to your residence.

**14th Prince:** Do you remember that I said His Majesty gave me an interesting reward?

**MC:** [Pout] I do, but you wouldn’t tell me and kept me guessing.

**14th Prince:** Hahaha, I was afraid you would refuse ahead of time. Now that we’re almost there, I can just let you know.

**14th Prince:** His Majesty gave me the right to use the imperial hunting grounds outside the city for a month. I invited a group of my brothers, we’re definitely going to hunt to our heart’s content there.

**MC:** The imperial hunting grounds that are only open during large-scale rituals or celebrations? I heard that even the Emperor would only go hunting there during his birthday each year...

**MC:** This is indeed a very special reward for you, it’s enough to prove how much the Emperor values you.

**14th Prince:** Whether he values me or not is another matter. I miss those times when I would hunt with my brothers on horseback through the grasslands even more. Plus, it’s also a good chance to show you how majestic I can look.

**MC:** I usually only see you fooling around. When you put it that way, I’m starting to look forward to it a little.

**14th Prince:** Hahahaha, then wait and see!

Very soon, you arrive at the hunting grounds. The 14th Prince, who has changed his clothes long ago, meets up with his brothers and begins hunting with great strength and vigor.

You are brought along by the 14th Prince. You sit behind him, clinging onto his waist tightly, screaming amidst the thundering of the horses’ hoof beats.

## Extra Chapter 3

Only when the Sun begins to move into the West does this round of hunting slowly comes to an end.

The 14th Prince hunted the most game and successfully took the lead. However, when he raises the animals he hunted and shows them off to you, you have no energy and could not even muster a smile.

**MC:** [Weakly] Congratulations, Your Highness. You’re amazing.

**14th Prince:** Look at you, I let you off the horse four hours ago, how have you yet to recover?

**MC:** Easy for you to say. After being jolted on that horse for over an hour, I feel like my soul has left me and I’m left with just this husk of a body, alright? I’m still soaked in cold sweat!

**14th Prince:** You just need to exercise properly. Perfect timing, I’m all sweaty and need a bath. Come, I’ll take you to enjoy the hot springs garden in the hunting grounds palace.

The palace stands on the edges of the hunting grounds, not far from the Forbidden City. It is not big, but it has everything it needs.

He said he would take you to enjoy the springs, but the moment you arrive, he removes his clothes and starts soaking in the springs, leaving you standing on dry ground, speechless.

**MC:** 14th Prince, you said you’d take me to enjoy the springs, but you entered it yourself first. Do you wish for me to serve you while you bathe?

**14th Prince:** I don’t want you to serve me. With that vengeful personality of yours, if I really treated you like a servant, I don’t know how you’ll repay me.

**MC:** [Rebuke] I’m not that kind of person. But you, Your Highness, if you don’t want me to serve you, why did you just leave me here?

**MC:** I’ve never been to this palace before, nor am I familiar with the terrain. I alone wouldn’t know where to go for a hot spring.

**14th Prince:** [Surprised] Why would you go elsewhere? Isn’t there a spring available here?

**MC:** [Shocked] You don’t mean to say you want me to take a bath with you?

**14th Prince:** We’re just sharing a spring, not bathing together. Besides, we sons and daughters of the Manchu do not care for such trivial matters. Don’t tell me... you don’t dare to?

**MC:** Wh-why wouldn’t I dare to?

**14th Prince:** Because you’re afraid that I’ll see everything and laugh at your lack of a figure.

**MC:** Bah! You’re the one with a lack of a figure. I may not be very plump, but I do have some curves! I have at least that much confidence in myself.

**14th Prince:** Oh? Is that true?

Perhaps because the 14th Prince’s teasing gaze and tone are too obvious, in the heat of the moment, you take off your outer robe and enter the pool.

**MC:** Take a good look musclehead. In what way do I lack a figure?

**14th Prince:** [Avoidant gaze] Alright, alright, you have a good figure. Quickly take a soak, don’t you need to dispel your cold sweat?

## Extra Chapter 4

In truth, you regret it the moment you entered the pool. You just force yourself not to show it.

The 14th Prince was acting so casual about it, but when he actually sees you, his face turns red and he avoids looking at you. Seeing him like that, you relax instead.

**MC:** Your Highness, you’re right. Us sons and daughters of the Manchu don’t care for trivial matters like this. As long as you don’t blame me for giving you offense, it’s fine.

**14th Prince:** [Mutters quietly] I wish you would offend me...

**MC:** Huh? What did you say?

**14th Prince:** N-nothing! I was thinking of the stuff I hunted earlier. Don’t you like eating lotus leaf chicken and roast rabbit? Why don’t we have the chef make those for you later?

**MC:** Sound good! The game here is usually well taken care of and not disturbed by anyone, they must taste better than those found elsewhere.

**14th Prince:** What kind of reasoning is that?

**MC:** Think about it, Your Highness. Those who enjoy wealth and honor are all delicate and tender. These animals are the same. Living leisurely in the mountains, they are naturally more tender and delicious than animals elsewhere.

**14th Prince:** Oh, you, you’re always full of false reasoning. Don’t you think that you’ve cursed all noble descendants with those words of yours?

**MC:** Oh, that does seem to be the case... Please forgive me, Your Highness.

**14th Prince:** We’re not in the palace right now, you don’t need to care about such matters. Besides, compared to me, aren’t you even more delicate and tender?

**MC:** You’re right, in that case, I’ve cursed myself as well, hahaha.

**14th Prince:** Hahaha, I love this energy of yours. When you’re smart, you’re extremely smart, but when you’re stupid, you’re so cute I can’t stand it.

**MC:** [Blink] Are you praising me or demeaning me?

**14th Prince:** You’ll have to understand the deeper meaning behind it yourself.

**MC:** [Roll your eyes] If you asked me, a filthy mouth can’t produce decent language, nothing good comes out of the 14th Prince’s mouth.

**14th Prince:** Hahahahaha...

## Extra Chapter 5

After soaking in the hot springs for about two hours, the sky has turned completely dark.

At this moment, a servant arrives and reminds you that dinner has been prepared, and you may proceed to the front hall to eat.

**MC:** Yay! Lotus Leaf Chicken! Roast Rabbit! I’m coming!

You get up enthusiastically, and when you get changed and go back to the hot spring, you see 14th Prince slowly walking out of the pool.

**MC:** Why are you so slow? Hurry up.

**14th Prince:** What’s the hurry? It’s not like the food will run away from there.

**MC:** But if the dish is cold, it will not taste good!

**14th Prince:** Don’t worry, if I don’t arrive, the kitchen will only keep things warm and won’t dare to serve them right away.

**MC:** Fine. But you got to change your clothes quickly, Your Highness. What if you catch a cold?

**14th Prince:** Don’t worry, this bit of wind is nothing to me.

**MC:** You naturally have a strong body, but I’m just a weak woman. It’s not too good for me to stand here and suffer the wind with you, is it?

**14th Prince:** I’ve never seen you call yourself a weak woman when you followed me to catch birds in trees or grab fish in rivers. You just want to quickly go and eat, don’t you?

**MC:** Hehe, you know me best. Let’s go quickly, I’m really looking forward to dinner.

You pull on a corner of the 14th Prince’s clothes and act like a spoiled child. He is immediately overwhelmed, and you see most of his ears flush red with your naked eyes.

**14th Prince:** Alright, let’s go, okay? Pulling and dragging, how embarrassing!

Although he says that, a hint of a smile appears on his lips, and his tone of voice is not serious either. So, you act even more outrageously.

**MC:** Quickly, quickly. I won’t wait for you if you dawdle any longer.

**14th Prince:** Okay, okay. You even dare to threaten me now? Watch out before I punish you for your disrespect.

**MC:** You wouldn’t, Your Highness. You’re the one who cares the least about rank and inferiority when interacting with others. That’s exactly what I like about you, hehe.

**14th Prince:** That obnoxiously radiant face of yours, I really like it too darn much. I really hope I can have you with me all day and night.
