[Echoes of the Self]

4
00:00:38,421 --> 00:00:41,081
This peach kernel tea
is astringent and bitter.

5
00:00:41,261 --> 00:00:43,991
Only when you get used to it
will you feel its aftertaste is sweet.

6
00:00:43,991 --> 00:00:45,651
It's what you like, Princess.

7
00:00:47,241 --> 00:00:48,241
It's astringent.

8
00:00:48,671 --> 00:00:51,671
I used to think
this tea was astringent and bitter too,

9
00:00:53,191 --> 00:00:55,221
but after drinking it for a long time,

10
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:57,481
I finally felt its aftertaste was sweet.

11
00:00:57,901 --> 00:01:00,101
Since you've long known that I'm not Xi,

12
00:01:00,271 --> 00:01:02,731
why are you still
playing along with me here?

13
00:01:08,131 --> 00:01:09,691
You set up this stage.

14
00:01:10,081 --> 00:01:12,141
I simply didn't want to spoil the fun.

15
00:01:15,631 --> 00:01:16,551
Actually,

16
00:01:16,801 --> 00:01:18,361
you and Miss Ruoxi

17
00:01:18,991 --> 00:01:20,271
not only look alike,

18
00:01:20,781 --> 00:01:22,021
but your mannerisms

19
00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:23,661
are also extremely similar.

20
00:01:23,771 --> 00:01:25,791
Then how did you find out that I'm not Xi?

21
00:01:25,791 --> 00:01:27,321
I can always recognize you.

22
00:01:33,431 --> 00:01:35,161
I can do so with just one glance.

23
00:01:44,041 --> 00:01:45,121
It's getting late.

24
00:01:46,071 --> 00:01:47,201
I have to go now.

25
00:01:47,411 --> 00:01:48,671
Let me escort you back.

26
00:01:50,631 --> 00:01:53,771
Haven't you asked martial arts experts
to keep an eye on me?

27
00:01:53,771 --> 00:01:56,030
There's no need for you to escort me back.

28
00:01:56,421 --> 00:01:57,221
Bye.

29
00:02:37,551 --> 00:02:39,201
Why are you in my room?

30
00:02:39,511 --> 00:02:41,811
Your Highness,
why did you go out so late at night?

31
00:02:41,811 --> 00:02:43,741
And why are you wearing my clothes?

32
00:02:44,421 --> 00:02:46,551
No wonder Linglan didn't let me go out.

33
00:02:46,691 --> 00:02:48,871
It turns out that you went out
to meet with Prince Yan.

34
00:02:48,871 --> 00:02:51,731
There are so many aristocrats
in the Imperial City.

35
00:02:51,901 --> 00:02:54,231
Why must you choose the one I've selected?

36
00:02:54,391 --> 00:02:56,051
You could choose anyone else,

37
00:02:57,201 --> 00:02:58,141
but not Li Yan.

38
00:02:58,171 --> 00:02:59,431
Why couldn't I choose Li Yan?

39
00:02:59,431 --> 00:03:01,031
Do you have feelings for him?

40
00:03:03,181 --> 00:03:05,041
Anyway, you must stay away from him.

41
00:03:05,041 --> 00:03:07,771
What right do you have
to interfere in my affairs?

42
00:03:11,241 --> 00:03:12,021
Because I know

43
00:03:12,021 --> 00:03:14,951
you just want to use him
to climb up the social ladder.

44
00:03:17,611 --> 00:03:19,541
Is it wrong to rely on powerful men?

45
00:03:19,671 --> 00:03:21,701
Is it wrong to crave supremacy

46
00:03:22,251 --> 00:03:23,251
above all people?

47
00:03:23,901 --> 00:03:25,611
You have a high status,
so no one can bully you.

48
00:03:25,611 --> 00:03:27,671
Why should I let myself
be trampled on arbitrarily?

49
00:03:27,671 --> 00:03:29,191
I'll walk my own path.

50
00:03:29,561 --> 00:03:31,361
I don't need your interference.

51
00:03:41,841 --> 00:03:43,701
I've taken revenge for my mother.

52
00:03:43,981 --> 00:03:46,381
Why is Xi
still sticking to her wrong ideas?

53
00:03:47,061 --> 00:03:48,991
How can I make her understand this?

54
00:03:49,241 --> 00:03:50,561
Relying on others

55
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:51,951
to climb up the social ladder

56
00:03:51,951 --> 00:03:53,481
will cause her to fall hard.

57
00:04:14,141 --> 00:04:15,001
Your Highness.

58
00:04:15,111 --> 00:04:17,221
Is the princess's chess strategy
so brilliant?

59
00:04:17,221 --> 00:04:18,841
You've been sitting here all night.

60
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:21,571
But you still haven't figured out
how to solve it?

61
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:22,921
Being unable to guess it

62
00:04:22,921 --> 00:04:24,451
makes it more interesting.

63
00:04:25,171 --> 00:04:26,291
Now I know

64
00:04:26,431 --> 00:04:27,751
what my next move

65
00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:28,851
should be.

Oh, by the way...

Prince Yan
has invited you to Yaoyue House today.

It's already so late.

78

Why aren't you going yet?

79
00:05:30,601 --> 00:05:31,501

I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long.

It's raining,

86
00:06:25,121 --> 00:06:25,761
so

87
00:06:25,781 --> 00:06:26,931
I'm a bit late.

88

Please.

This rock tea from Yaoyue House
is excellent.

92
00:06:58,311 --> 00:06:59,971
Do you like it too, Prince Yan?

93
00:07:01,061 --> 00:07:03,191
You've been in Qingzhou
for just a short time,

94
00:07:03,191 --> 00:07:06,121
but you actually know about
Yaoyue House's rock tea.

95
00:07:10,701 --> 00:07:12,361
I remember you once mentioned

96
00:07:12,911 --> 00:07:14,771
you liked Junshan Silver Needle Tea

97
00:07:14,771 --> 00:07:16,901
with its floral and fruity sweetness.

98
00:07:18,141 --> 00:07:20,141
Why do you suddenly prefer rock tea?

99
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:23,411
Yaoyue House's rock tea is quite famous.

100
00:07:23,621 --> 00:07:25,301
When I was in the mansion,

Why are you pretending to be the princess?

106
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,861
The princess
prefers astringent peach kernel tea,

107
00:07:43,861 --> 00:07:45,591
not Junshan Silver Needle Tea.

108
00:07:46,331 --> 00:07:47,131

00:07:49,531 --> 00:07:51,261
the way the princess looks at me

110
00:07:52,311 --> 00:07:54,571
has never been like yours at this moment.

Obviously, I got to know you first.

113
00:08:02,821 --> 00:08:04,351
But why do you

114
00:08:04,431 --> 00:08:06,691
only care about that Princess of Daqing?

115
00:08:10,291 --> 00:08:12,571
What unique quality have you seen

116
00:08:12,591 --> 00:08:14,551
from this same face?

117
00:08:17,271 --> 00:08:19,341
If my previous words or actions

118

have given you the wrong impression,

119

then I'll apologize.

Why do you have to
use such high-sounding words

to fob me off?

126
00:08:48,821 --> 00:08:49,941

if she hadn't existed,

128
00:08:52,391 --> 00:08:54,521
or she weren't the Princess of Daqing,

129
00:08:54,761 --> 00:08:56,221
there would be absolutely

130
00:08:56,641 --> 00:08:58,281
no possibility between us?

has been made clear today,

whether she heard those words just now.

153
00:11:29,851 --> 00:11:31,371

Xi has feelings for you.

157

If you keep stalling
and give her false hope,

188
00:14:52,361 --> 00:14:54,431
some bandits tried to rob and kill you.

189
00:14:54,431 --> 00:14:55,811
Coincidentally,
the bandits who tried to assassinate you

190
00:14:55,811 --> 00:14:57,121
and the criminals
in the loan sharking case

191
00:14:57,121 --> 00:14:59,451
were manipulated by the same mastermind.

192
00:14:59,741 --> 00:15:01,071
There's one more thing.

193
00:15:01,081 --> 00:15:03,811
In the loan sharking case
you personally solved,

194
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:04,741
with all the benefits that were gained,

195
00:15:04,741 --> 00:15:07,001
a large amount of money flowed to Daqing.

196
00:15:07,691 --> 00:15:09,571
In my previous life, the masterminds
behind the loan sharking case

197
00:15:09,571 --> 00:15:11,911
were Madam Cui and those from
Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion.

198
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,661
I didn't expect even Daqing
would be implicated in this life.

199
00:15:14,661 --> 00:15:17,061
All these coincidences are related to you.

200
00:15:17,861 --> 00:15:19,991
It's inevitable to raise suspicions.

201
00:15:20,141 --> 00:15:22,201
Are you trying to accuse me of a crime?

202
00:15:24,121 --> 00:15:25,321
Crown Prince,

203
00:15:25,461 --> 00:15:26,901
I was attacked by bandits

204
00:15:26,921 --> 00:15:28,381
and fortunately escaped.

205
00:15:28,611 --> 00:15:30,901
Thus, a conflict between Daqing and Yunrui
has been avoided.

206
00:15:30,901 --> 00:15:32,861
Shouldn't you thank me?

207
00:15:33,461 --> 00:15:36,121
The loan sharking case
was so rampant in Yunrui.

208
00:15:36,271 --> 00:15:37,821
I cleared my aunt's name

209
00:15:37,821 --> 00:15:39,021
and solved this case.

210
00:15:39,171 --> 00:15:41,451
Shouldn't you reward me generously?

211
00:15:41,571 --> 00:15:43,111
If you have evidence

212
00:15:43,231 --> 00:15:44,961
for what you're suspicious of,

213
00:15:46,021 --> 00:15:47,531
you can accuse me.

214
00:16:19,941 --> 00:16:21,661
You need to build up your health.

215
00:16:21,661 --> 00:16:22,221
Hurry.

216
00:16:22,321 --> 00:16:23,641
Do you like the food today?

217
00:16:23,641 --> 00:16:25,971
Mother, the food you made is so delicious.

218
00:16:35,941 --> 00:16:37,051
Mother.

219
00:16:38,061 --> 00:16:39,591
Are you feeling better now?

220
00:16:39,611 --> 00:16:40,961
Much better.

221
00:16:50,311 --> 00:16:51,611
It's Madam Cui's fault,

222
00:16:51,611 --> 00:16:52,941
but Ruoyao is innocent.

223
00:16:53,901 --> 00:16:55,361
However, at this point,

224
00:16:56,271 --> 00:16:57,801
Ruoyao must hate me deeply.

225
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:04,901
Ruoyao.

226
00:17:05,581 --> 00:17:07,041
I'll wait for you
at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnival.

227
00:17:06,110 --> 00:17:10,241
[Invitation
to the Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnival]

228
00:17:07,901 --> 00:17:08,951
No matter what,

229
00:17:08,991 --> 00:17:10,100
you must come.

230
00:17:10,721 --> 00:17:13,581
An invitation
to the Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnival.

231
00:17:13,610 --> 00:17:15,191
In my previous life,
when I was assassinated that day,

232
00:17:15,191 --> 00:17:16,241
I saved Yan,

233
00:17:16,261 --> 00:17:18,590
which triggered the subsequent tragedy.

234
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,571
This is not okay.

235
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:21,100
I can't let history repeat itself.
