[Catch Up My Prince]

[Episode 4]

[Live Streaming Now: Second Prince - Zhao Chen Yao, Fourth Prince - Zhao Chen Yi, Crown Prince - Zhao Chen Yu, Eleventh Prince - Zhao Chen Xuan]

He doesn't even like you.

I shouldn't be so passionate only to be met with the cold shoulder.

Isn't this the attendant who saved me?

So he serves the Crown Prince.

Your Highness, I just recalled that duck today.

I didn't expect that palace maid to be have some skills.

Are you talking about the palace maid who had excellent knife skills in today's talent assessment?

Important people such as Your Highness tend to have short memories.

A few months ago, she was punished to run for some mistake.

It was Your Highness who pardoned her.

But what exactly is the Crown Prince's illness?

After all, I'm a medical student. I wonder if I can help him.

Qin Shou. Qin Shou!

I'm here, Dear.

- Can you not appear so out of the ordinary every time? Be normal. - Okay. What's the matter, Dear?

I called you to come out because I want to ask you about something serious.

How can I help the Crown Prince to recover from his illness?

There is a way indeed.

In addition to completing the tasks for the main story, you can also unlock various side stories.

If you unlock various side stories, you'll receive a secret big present.

I can receive a secret big present and help the Crown Prince at the same time?

I can also provide a friendly plot spoiler. The next subplot is

the martial arts match for the Wazi Diplomatic Corps

The way to unlock the plot is to collect the plot pieces.

What are plot pieces?

Don't worry, Dear. You'll know it when time comes.

O-Ouch!

-What's wrong now? - Let me ask you.

Is there something wrong with your favorable impression programming?

Why is Zhao Chen Yi's favorable impression score zero? Let me tell you. I've been working on this character for half a year.

I'll beat you to death if you make me work for nothing.

- Impossible. There's nothing wrong with our programming. - Impossible.

- Absolutely no issues. - Impossible.

I've checked it before meeting you. The favorable impression programming is working fine.

Dear, here's a tip for you. Persistence is victory.

Another tip, quantitative change produces qualitative change.

Also, there is nothing difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to...

- climb— - Climb! I'll let you climb instead.

Then do your best.

Get lost.

Half a year. I've been entertaining him for half a year.

Why hasn't the favorable impression score gone up at all?

Is his heart made of stone?

So frustrating.

Get out of the way.

Are you alright?

Greetings to Your Highness.

You are the palace maid who dissected the duck, right?

- You recognize me? - Of course.

Thanks to Your Highness for your help by giving me your knife on the day of the assessment.

No problem. No problem. Your knife skills are excellent.

The duck was dissected to the point of separating tendons and bones.

The imperial physicians have praised your technique as comparable to that of

Zhang Xiugu of the Southern Dynasty.

Your Highness, you flatter me. You flatter me. My name is Lu Ren Jia.

Of course, Sister, I know that you're Lu Ren Jia from the Clothing Department.

I looked for you twice yesterday but couldn't find you. You shall go with me now.

W-Where are we going?

I have a lot of good food in my residence. Just follow me.

Look, I've done all the research.

This one is called chestnut cake. This one is called beef tongue cake. And this...

Young Master, you're finally back.

I was so worried.

What do you know? Have you heard of the story about how Liu Bei persistently visiting Zhuge Liang three times at his thatched cottage?

Likewise, I want to invite the master over, so I have to be sincere

and look for her myself.

Speaking of which, Your Highness, your room is too messy.

There's no choice. His Highness wouldn't let us touch his things.

- All of you may leave. Leave. - Yes.

Xiao Jia.

These are the two flints I found

after turning my father's imperial garden upside down. There are only these two so they're very precious.

I'm giving one of them to you as a present for our meeting.

This is a flint. I'll gladly accept it then. [+1 like]

You actually know it's a flint?

You are really knowledgeable.

The favorable impression score increased just like this?

Little Eleven is too cute.

I can't resist the urge to play with him.

Little doggy.

What's going on with you?

That's right, Your Highness. What are all these innovative inventions you have all over your room? Tell me about them.

Inventions? Innovation?

No one has ever said this to me.

Everyone said I was fooling around with these.

You are indeed my bosom friend.

Take a look at this. I invented this.

It's a lantern that can be retracted.

You can store it away like this when not in use.

It's very convenient. If you need to use it, just do this.

Good thing you didn't light this candle. If the candle is lit,

all the stuff in this room would be gone.

These precious...

These innovative inventions are my life.

If anything happens to them, I would die.

- How can you say that? - Oh yes.

Let's not talk about this now. Regarding your knife skills from last time,

can you show it to me again? It was so good.

- Do you really want to see it? - Of course.

Let me tell you, the cut has to be quick.

Sometimes...

- Put it on the edge of the knife— - Xiao Jia, slow down.

I can't keep up with you.

But then again, it's such a pain to write with a brush.

Look, just like you now, as you write, you run out of ink.

When you dip too much ink, the writing get smudged easily.

You're right. I've always wanted to invent a brush that can absorb ink automatically before.

I tried inventing it several times, but they all failed.

Then why don't we open up our brains to brainstorm together and think of a solution?

- O-Open up the brain? - Yes.

Whose head are you going to put a hole in?

What I mean by this is that we can work on it together

and think outside the box.

We can talk about the brush next time. I have other interesting things here.

This is too hot.

This is no heating pad. I think it should be called a burning pad.

Xiao Jia, there's something troubling me recently.

Let's hear it.

Do you have any ideas on how to repel insects?

Repel insects?

Your Highness, isn't catching insects your hobby?

Why do you suddenly want to get rid of insects?

My father's Imperial Garden is full of exotic flowers.

But it's also full of nasty bugs.

If you accidentally get bitten, there will be unbearable itching.

Sometimes, the bites can become inflamed for quite a number of days.

I've tried many methods. But none of them seems to work.

What methods did you try?

Burning herbs, grinding flowers, and even smearing honey.

A few days ago, I thought about catching two Siberian weasels

to see if their urine could repel insects. But I haven't caught any yet.

Isn't that just a yellow weasel?

Your Highness, why are you suddenly so concerned about repelling insects?

The Wazi Diplomatic Corps will be visiting our place in a few days.

The Grand Tutor said that the relationship between the two countries are complicated.

Sometimes there is mutual prosperity and the two countries are in close association with each other.

Sometimes there are tensions between the two countries and we face threats.

Recently, my father has been very busy with the state affairs until late at night.

As his son, I want to help lessen the burden on him.

But I...

Eldest brother possesses the capability to rule the country. Second brother

is unbeatable in martial arts. As for fourth brother,

although he also dislikes dealing with state affairs, he has musical talent and is good in writing. Only I

seem to be useless.

Your Highness,

you mustn't say that you are useless and belittle yourself.

You coming to me to learn about inventing demonstrates that you're modest and eager to learn.

Being able to sketch out your inventions shows that you're clever and ingenious.

If you are able to both sketch and create your invention, it shows that you practice what you preach.

Also, you're always eager to help others. So everyone has their own strengths.

Your Highness, you are amazing as well.

Xiao Jia.

No one has ever said something like this to me.

- Thank you. - If I think of any good ideas, I'll tell you immediately.

In the future, if there's no one around, don't call me Your Highness anymore.

Call me Eleven.

Okay.

I didn't expect Little Eleven to be so soft-hearted.

He's always treated as a wild kid. He probably needs to be understood and encouraged.

What if I want to eat it everyday?

Then... Then...

Why not you marry me and make it for me everyday?

Eleven, I should go back first.

Alright. You've worked hard today. I'll send you back.

Okay.

What do you want?

- You're truly an exceptional woman. - You give me too much credit.

We all heard about you sacrificing yourself in order to get near the Fourth Prince.

It's my pleasure.

You're outstanding and dedicated.

You give me too much credit.

What are you doing?

My lord has a new mission for you. He wants you to find a woman in the Cherished Orders Palace.

Who is she?

This woman is skilled in martial arts and has a scar on her hand.

So who is she?

Don't worry about that. Contact me when you find her. Goodbye.

What happened?

You didn't tell me how to contact you when I find her.

Oh right. I forgot.

Here's a whistle. If I'm within ten li of where you are when you blow it, (T/N: Appoximately 3 miles)

I will be able to hear you. Goodbye!

Official... Bin? [Bin]

Xiao Jia, sometimes I really envy you.

Thanks to the Eleventh Prince you dodged a bullet today.

My dear Yun Zhu.

Why are you so tired today?

The Wazi Diplomatic Corps visited today and wanted to stay at the Wazi imperial guesthouse.

We had to prepare a lot of bedding and pillows. There weren't enough people to help

so we asked everyone in the department who could do needlework to help.

Eleven mentioned this as well. Compared to Yun Zhu, I'm too behind on news.

But it's also good that you were not there. With your needlework abilities, you won't be of much help.

Xiao Jia, what are you thinking about?

I'm self-reflecting.

I have been pretty lazy recently, I haven't been able to help you with much.

You've been daydreaming quite a bit the past couple of days.

Have you been having problems with Fourth Prince?

I am merely a palace maid, how could I dare to have problems with a prince?

I don't know how I offended him either.

I just didn't write the calligraphy he taught me during the talent and skills assessment.

Just like that, he became angry. Isn't that too petty?

Xiao Jia, the Fourth Prince is known for his poetic talent.

He's surrounded by so many beauties, but he's only willing to spend his time teaching you.

Of course he'd feel disappointment that you didn't appreciate his kindness.

Plus, the Fourth Prince was born a noble. Of course he would have proud and arrogant qualities.

I think that if there are misunderstandings when two people are together,

it doesn't matter who goes and explains first, what do you think?

That's true.

- I'll go wash up first then. - Okay.

My lord has a new mission for you. He wants you to find a woman

in the Cherished Orders Palace.

Cherished Orders Palace?

I think that if there are misunderstandings when two people are together,

it doesn't matter who goes and explains first

[Live Streaming Now: Crown Prince - Zhao Chen Yu, Eleventh Prince - Zhao Chen Xuan, Second Prince - Zhao Chen Yao, Fourth Prince - Zhao Chen Yi]

[Fourth Prince - Zhao Chen Yi]

Military tactics. [Three Strategies of Huang Shigong]

He seems so carefree during the day,

who would have thought that he would be so focused at night.

But his brush

It looks so difficult to use.

Then what if right now I tried to make him a

brush that stores ink.

Eleven?

Miss Lu. His Highness went to bed late last night and is still asleep. Why don't–

Who said I wasn't awake yet?

I'm full of energy now that Xiao Jia is here.

Then I will share a little invention with you today.

This is an ink-storing brush. We constantly have to dip our brushes in ink, don't we?

It's very troublesome. With this ink-storing pen,

you can store the ink here and use it for a really long time.

This is good.

Let me teach you. All you have to do is immerse the tip of the brush in ink. Use strength and pull. Then the ink will flow here.

Then You can keep using it over and over again. Isn't that amazing?

- This is amazing. Let's give it a try. - Okay.

Let's go.

Tell me. How am I a profligate?

There's no fixed way to write.

You have to let it flow naturally. You need to relax your wrist,

if you want to write nice characters.

Your Highness.

Reading this roster is boring.

Why don't I ask Miss Xiao Jia to tell you a few stories?

You're so great now. You dare to tease me.

I don't dare. I haven't heard Miss Xiao Jia tell stories for a few days.

My ear is craving, I would like to listen.

The Wazi Diplomatic Corps will arrive soon. To put it nicely,

they're here to ask for a reward.

To say it badly, they're here to find trouble.

Hui Tong Posthouse has been extremely busy lately.

I am also at my wits end.

I don't have the mood to listen to her tell stories.

I don't believe you. Didn't you go to the Internal Affairs Office two days ago looking for her?

To say the least, Miss Xin'er seems to be quite important to you.

As soon as you mention Xin'er, my head started to hurt.

She has gotten bolder now.

Last time she broke into Xu Manor on her own. This time she almost hurt the Crown Prince.

I just hope that she doesn't cause me any more trouble

before the Wazi Diplomatic Corps get here.

- Success. Success. Look. As I said, it's best to test it ourselves. - Success. Success.

This is quite interesting. I'll make a few more. One for father to write memorials.

One for the Empress Dowager to copy buddhist scripts.

And a few more for the Crown Prince to draw.

Oh right, does the Crown Prince suffer from some chronic illness?

He's always been like this. He was born under poor conditions in the Cold Palace causing him to develop cardiovascular problems.

This means it's a disease developed in the womb.

Then it's a congenital heart disease.

I'm not sure about this, but even the Imperial Physician couldn't figure it out.

The why was the Crown Prince born in the Cold Palace?

This is a secret from before I was even born.

Rumor has it, after the Crown Prince's mother passed away,

the Empress Dowager personally brought him back and raised him.

It sounds like the Crown Prince is quite pitiful.

Yes, the Imperial Advisor had looked into the Crown Prince's fortune,

saying that he's missing one of his souls.

He needs to meet a fated person in order to protect his life.

- Superstition. - What?

What I mean is... you can't believe in destiny.

The Imperial Advisor probably just found a connection

to comfort the empress and others.

There is this possibility since the Empress Dowager worries about him the most.

Eleven, do you believe in destiny?

- I don't believe in it. - That's right!

I'll tell you, we control our own destiny.

For example, as long as you continue to do things that are meaningful to you,

put in effort and continue pushing forward.

Someday you might become the first inventor.

Xiao Jia, I really want to continuing creating and inventing with you. [likes]

Oh right, Eleven, didn't you mention earlier you wanted to find a way to rid of the mosquitos?

That day I went back home and thought it over carefully. I have a solution.

However, I'm missing something that's quite difficult to obtain.

- You really have a solution? - Yes.

What is it?

- Sulfur. - Sulfur?

Isn't that used to make explosives?

Usually, it seems only the military warehouse has it. That's not right.

Recently, the Ministry of Rites seems to be making preparations for the arrival of the Wazi Diplomatic Corps.

There will definitely be sulfur for making fireworks.

[Moral, Diligent, Noble, and Calm]

My lord, I have finished telling her the task of finding a girl with an injured hand from Cherished Orders Palace.

However, she seems a bit slow.

Why do you say that?

I wanted to flirt with her and complimented her.

It seems like she didn't get the hint and wasn't interested.

Pretending to be unpredictable, your brain which can't even speak properly, definitely can't comprehend.

In any case, she is the only pawn we've successfully placed by the Fourth Prince.

Let's see what she can do first.

- Ah Wen? - Yes?

Carefully keep an eye on her.

If she does anything that's unfavorable for us...

Yes, my lord.

Lu Ren Jia has been hanging out with the Eleventh Prince a lot recently.

The Eleventh Prince seems to want the sulfur from the Ministry of Rites. My lord,

you can make this into a big deal.

Your Highness, I went to the Internal Affairs Office asking questions.

They said the Crown Prince's Palace originally agreed to discharge her, but then they changed their mind.

Why did they change their mind?

They said that Miss Xin'er herself doesn't want to come back.

Xin'er is still so headstrong. Just let her be.

They didn't find her when they were doing the talent assessment.

At this moment in time, I'm afraid they're keeping watch on Cherished Orders Palace as well.

People will definitely be suspicious if we transfer Xin'er over here now.

I also bumped into the Eleventh Prince when I went to the Internal Affairs Office.

- Did he cause trouble again? - No, no.

The Eleventh Prince... The Eleventh Prince said that he was going to transfer Miss Xiao Jia to his man or.

He can't bear to see her do hard labor.

Eleven.

Xiao Jia.

Is this a gift for the Fourth Prince?

My dear Yun Zhu,

- you're like a worm in my stomach. - What did I say? Only by making up with the Fourth Prince quickly

will you be happy again.

What are you doing?! You scared me!

You're the one who scared me, okay?

What do you need me for?

- What do I need you for? - Yes.

My lord ordered me to get you to work with me in swapping the sulfur.

Create an explosion to injure Eleven and shift the blame on Old Four. Got it?

Help you swap the sulfur?

Create an explosion to injure Little Eleven and shift the blame on Zhao Chen Yi?

You got smarter!

Wait, how do you know about the sulfur?

I... Speak less... Speak less and do more.

- You... - Speak less and do more. Speak less and do more. Speak less and do more.

I can't. If I do as he says,

then Little Eleven will get hurt and Zhao Chen Yi will become the scapegoat. If I don't do as he says,

then I'll get stabbed to death. Xu You Zheng, you're so cruel.

Xiao Jia, what are you doing here?

- Eleven. What brings you here? - Come with me.

I happened to be looking for you. Come on.

You'll never guess what I found.

Come look.

- What is it? - Sulfur.

This is raw sulfur stone. You have to purify it before it can be used.

You still haven't told me what we're using the sulfur for.

Sulfur can reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.

It can inhibit the growth of fungi, bacteria, and mites.

We can use this to make sulfur soap.

Bac– what? Mites what?

Your eyesight isn't good so you can't see them.

Let's hurry and get ready then.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

[Clean and Pure Palace]

Eleven, step back. That's not safe.

- Come over here. - It's okay. One more.

- You shouldn't add anymore.- It's fine. This is so fun. [Hanchun Pavilion]

It's not okay. It's not safe.

Swap the sulfur, create an explosion to injure Eleven and shift the blame to Old Four.

Be careful!

Eleven!

Eleven, are you okay?

Your Highness!

- Your Highness! - Xiao Jia!

Eleven!

- Xiao Jia! Xiao Jia! - Your Highness!

Xiao Jia!

Xiao Jia!

- Behave yourself! - That hurts!

- Xiao Jia! - Your Highness!

What are you guys doing?

You guys...

- Your Highness. Your Highness, you're finally back. Something bad happened. - What's the matter?

- The imperial guards took Miss Xiao Jia away. - They took her away?

I don't know what she was doing with the Eleventh Prince,

but there was suddenly an explosion. I'm afraid His Majesty knows about it by now.

An explosion? Sulfur.

Eleven did get the chalcopyrite from me, but I made sure that it would be safe.

Why was there an explosion?

Then what should we do?

The Pharmaceutical Department already sent someone to Zhaochun Palace.

The Eleventh Prince was unscathed, but the maidservant got injured.

Xin Ming has banned the circulation of sulfur.

The Ministry of War arsenal is the only place that stores it.

Why was that stuff in the inner court?

Scoundrel! Which audacious maidservant was it?

Greetings, Father.

Father, Mother, it was my fault. I was the one who got the sulfur from the Ministry of RItes.

So it was Yi'er who asked for it.

Then how did it get to Shaochun Palace?

Eleventh Brother loves to experiment with new things. I saw that he needed sulfur to create something new,

so I got some for him from the firework supplies we were going to use for when we welcomed the Oise diplomatic corps.

Xuan'er is quite similar to Yi'er when he was younger.

He likes to read books on life's creations.

I remember that Yi'er could understand music scores

when he was younger as well.

It's one thing if you live your life going after the sensual pleasures of the world, but now you're putting your brother up to this, too.

Do you not have enough work at the Ministry of Rites?

I'm sorry.

Xiao Jia, you're finally back.

I heard you got taken away by the imperial guards. You're injured here.

- Does it hurt? - A little.

You really scared me today.

I'm fine. I should've taken out the bamboo tube.

No, no. I shouldn't have tried to make sulfur soap.

What are you talking about? What were you doing with the Eleventh Prince today?

We... It's a long story. Do you know how Eleven is doing?

I heard His Majesty paid a visit to Zhaochun Palace today.

Luckily, the Eleventh Prince is fine. If he got hurt in any way,

I'm afraid you wouldn't still be alive.

I'm fine. Seems like everything is fine on this end.

Now how do I explain this to Lord Xu?

Let go of me!

What's going on with you? Why is the Eleventh Prince not hurt?

- You... Idiot! - What did I do?

- You put way too much sulfur in there. It could've killed the prince! - Impossible!

Keep lying! I'm telling you. If the Eleventh Prince dies,

His Majesty will surely find someone to blame and figure out that it was you!

I'm telling Xu Youzheng about this. You're screwed!

You're screwed, I'm telling you!

Whatever is to come, at least I dealt with A' Wen for now.

Let's see if I'll come out of this alive.

Congratulations dear, you've unlocked a side story: The Oise Diplomatic Corps Military Skills Competition.

Collect all four lucky deer to unlock the story.

You said four?

That means they're on each of the four princes then?

Please figure it out on your own.

Fine, don't tell me then. It's just finding some deer.

I'm good at that.

Xiao Jia, you're finally here.

I would've gone to see you a while ago if I didn't get grounded by my mother. How's your wound?

I'm fine. It's all my fault. You almost got hurt because of me.

I was the one who dragged you with me to see the fire. You got hurt trying to protect me.

It's a good thing you didn't get hurt. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgiven myself.

As a man, I should've protected you in those kinds of situations.

By the way, I had He Huan get me a good ointment.

Let me help you apply it.

This is Shenji Gao isn't it? (T/N: A type of medicinal ointment used to treat wounds)

You're quite the expert. You knew as soon as you smelled it.

Little Eleven's deer shouldn't be hard to find, right?

There you go.

Thank you.

Eleven, what new toys do you have here?

They're all my latest inventions. Take your time browsing.

Nice, they all look pretty interesting.

Of course they do.

Where's the deer? I don't see it.

Let's look at the lantern.

Yes! That's it!

Eleven.

Can you give me this lantern?

Of course. You can have anything

you like in here.

Thank you, Eleven.

Mission complete!

I even brought a gift.

He shouldn't still be mad, right?

This is for you.

He still looks angry.

Look, this is a ink-storing brush.

When you twist this up here, you can suck up all the ink.

That way, you can avoid the troubles of having to constantly dip your brush in ink.

So you've been messing around with Eleven these few days to create this brush?

How can you call this messing around?

We were inventing things.

With this brush, you can write an entire poem verse

with just one dip of ink.

Isn't that amazing?

You're hurt.

I know you're mad because I didn't write the calligraphy you taught me

at the talent assessment a few days ago.

But I had my reasons for not doing so.

How can you still be mad after so many days?

You're so petty.

I'm petty? We don't have to fight over this.

You're the one who ignored me all these days.

You're...

You're sighing?

It seems like you've been in the company of many women these past few days, Your Highness.

Explain yourself!

This was a gift from the emperor.

You'll get killed if you break it.

You're right. It's okay if you break,

but this can't break.

Your Highness, I have to go.

Why did I just say all that? Why am I so stubborn and acting so tough?

I came to apologize and be on good terms with him again.

Now I'm stuck in this predicament.

She's leaving just like that?

Xiao...

Your Highness, why did Miss Xiao Jia storm out of here?

She's mad.

Shouldn't I be the one who's mad? They caused a sulfur explosion a few days ago.

If I wasn't so quick to acknowledge my mistakes,

the improper maidservant who bewitched the prince would've been beheaded by now.

Also, she's been messing around with Eleven all these days just to make this brush. Look at it.

Your Highness, this brush is quite special.

Xiao Bao, do you think she made this brush specifically for me?

Of course she did!
