[Catch Up, My Prince]

[Episode 2]

Congratulations on starting your main quest! At the same time, you unlocked the benefit of daily livestreams.

Dear, you can press the livestream icon.

So this isn't a G-rated game?

[Fourth Prince, Zhao Chen Yi]

I'm a girl! I can't watch that! Naughty!

Qin Shou, can I open it again?

- Dear, you can only open the livestream once a day! - Yes.

I understand.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, what you wanted has arrived.

What is it?

[Analects of Confucius]

I memorized the Analects of Confucius long ago.

Open it and take a look.

These are the latest pornographic pictures on the market. It took me so long to find them.

Your Highness, does this satisfy you?

Your Highness, what did you just do? Th-This cost me

- quite a bit of money. - Since it's wet, get rid of it. Next time, buy a new one.

Then I'll dispose of it.

Your Highness, I will take my leave.

Be quicker. Wash them clean.

Your feet are injured. You can't squat for too long.

- I’ll help you wash them later. - Don't worry about me.

Look at your hands. Protect them well.

I can do this myself.

I got used to it over time.

Which palace maid doesn't have callouses on her hands and feet?

I don't like how you say that!

Who says a palace maid must have callouses, wear coarse clothing, and eat bad food?

We proud workers should love ourselves more, understand?

I'll help you pop the blisters. This will help you recover sooner.

You'll have trouble on your feet for the next few days.

My feet really hurt.

Fourth Prince.

Keep working.

What did you just say? "Coarse clothing and bad food"?

It seems you weren't very satisfied with the reward you got yesterday.

Fourth Prince, are you here to laugh at me?

I don't like laughing at people.

I like listening to stories.

But I can't tell you more stories.

I almost broke my leg running last night to tell you stories.

How come I remember someone saying she would repay me

for the kindness of saving her life?

Take your leave.

Yes.

Stop laughing.

Come with me.

I'm not leaving.

Hey.

It appears she had trouble due to me.

Put me down! Now!

Hey!

You...

Please don't. I regret it now.

Don't you want me to put you down?

I regret it. It's fine if you hold me like this.

Fine. Since you were eager to admit your mistakes,

I'll just reluctantly keep holding you like this.

Since you're so proactive, if I don't cooperate with your moves,

I would make you lose face (respect).

His profile looks so handsome!

Lu Ran Ran, wake up! You can only go home after you complete the quest.

Tell me. What stories will you tell today?

The game system readily kicks me even harder whenever I'm in trouble.

Tell me!

Today, I will tell you a story that relates to the game of Go.

A girl who loved to play Go

hid her soul in a Go board after she died.

Later, she helped a youth, who knew how to play Go,

to achieve greatness in life.

[Moral, Diligent, Noble, and Calm]

Your Majesty, the maid

is meeting Zhao Chen Yi at Lake Heart Pavilion right now.

Let me see how far you can go.

So can Xiao Guang find Xiao Liang?

And what are the results of the competition?

Please listen to the explanation next time.

"Next time"?

Do you really want to see me this much?

I just can't give up the cakes and fruit.

That's easy. I'll ask someone to send these to you later.

If you want to eat them later, I'll have them made for you daily.

No need for so much trouble!

In the future, I'll come to your palace to tell you stories.

You can share the food with me then.

"My palace"?

- Fine. - Really?

This will be considered the reward I promised you back then.

From now on, you'll be my exclusive laundry maid.

You may only go home if I allow you to.

When you don't have work to do,

be prepared to tell me stories at any time.

But I thought again, and you're still more suited for

jobs that require talking.

Aren't I doing all this to win you?

- Are you unsatisfied? - I'm satisfied. Your Highness is the best. Here's my heart.

Then our old debt has been settled.

Let's settle the new debt now.

This is the white porcelain teapot that Dehua gifted me as a tribute.

Normally, I'm very careful when I use it. But you came

and broke it completely.

You calculate how many stories you need to tell

to compensate me for the white porcelain teapot.

Your Highness, you already got a reply about the matter you requested.

What happened?

This Miss Lu is from Chong Chuan.

Her parents and uncle are still alive.

Miss Lu also has an older brother.

She works as a farmer at home. She's clean.

What is her status in the palace? Whom is she closest to?

It should be her roommate, the palace maid, Yun Zhu.

"Yun Zhu"?

I also investigated that girl: clean family background,

just a weak personality.

Weak is good.

What about the other matter?

It's well arranged. Internal Affairs Office members went to ask.

A eunuch from Internal Affairs Office said that in spring,

the dry wind makes it easy for a fire to start.

Winds due to changes in weather make it easier to widen the fire.

This is why Profound Literature Pavilion caught fire.

Were Elder Brother's people involved?

His Highness has a benevolent heart.

Although the pavilion burned, they cut the salary of only palace guards on duty,

and they didn't delve any deeper into it.

It should not have anything to do with that girl.

It seems her background really is clean.

It's good if she didn't do it.

I'm in a great mood today.

I'll reward you a painting.

No, no, no.

It seems you look down on it very much.

Not true, not true.

Your Highness, do you keep drawing embarrassing pictures to scare me?

Open your dog eyes wide.

Are two little children playing Go embarrassing?

This... this is... not embarrassing.

Fine. Go and pick up some goods sent from Calm Refreshing Manor.

Sure. I can still understand these kinds of vulgar tricks.

When did His Highness become this elegant?

What are you mumbling about?

Nothing. Thank you, Your Highness.

Little Zuo called out to Little Guang. [Lake Heart Pavilion]

At that moment, Little Guang could already no longer return the call.

The superpowers of Little Zuo and Little Guang had already disappeared.

Disappeared without a trace!

Then tell me, how could they defeat Little Liang?

So will that Little Zuo return after disappearing?

- Not anymore. - Then what happens?

If you want to hear what happens next, you must wait for next time's explanation!

No. If you don't tell me, I'll get angry.

What do you plot by approaching me?

I did approach you with a motive.

Say it!

I want you to like me.

Such fun.

I'll tell another pickup line to coax him.

Are you telling me or not?

Your Highness, don't get angry. Don't we still have time in the future?

Perfect. Let me tell you something.

- What? - I have a superpower.

- What is it? - I super, super—

- Like you. - like to eat.

Right? I know.

[Pear Blossom Garden]

Have you and the fourth prince been all right lately?

Is something the matter?

It's just some rumors spreading within the clothing department lately.

They say the fourth prince usually likes to find song girls

to sing for him; now he swapped for a laundry maid.

Yun Zhu, gossipers are everywhere.

We will just walk our own path and let them gossip.

If you keep this mindset, that's best.

Don't let anyone's silly mutterings affect your relationship.

Then do you understand the fourth prince now?

Right. Zhao Chen Yi...

Do I actually understand him?

- Your Highness. - Xiao Bao.

Go and visit Lake Heart Pavilion.

Will you not look for Miss Lu?

It's fine. Wait until I return.

Why hasn't he come yet?

What time is it already?

[Clothing Department]

I heard someone is being delusional,

waiting there every day.

You don't consider the fourth prince's personality.

Isn't he just curious about her novelty?

Hey, Lu Ren Jia, are you going crazy?

Exactly! I think she was just dumped!

She is venting on us.

Let's go.

Lu Ran Ran, they aren't wrong.

You let yourself be dumped by Sugarcane the Fourth.

My goodness, I'm already hallucinating.

I can even see Sugarcane the Fourth.

Don't laugh.

I'll let you laugh. I'll hit you.

Fourth Prince.

Do you want to hit me so badly?

I...

You really are so clumsy.

A few days ago, I had to run an errand. As soon as I did my task, I came to find you.

Sadly, some people only think of hitting me.

No...

Let's go.

- Xiao Bao. - Your Highness.

I'll deliver the flowers to Cherished Orders Palace right now.

I never thought

that in this season, such delicate gardenias

could still be cultivated.

- You can go now. - All right.

Greetings to the Empress and His Highness, the Second Prince.

Greetings, Empress and Second Brother.

Greetings, Fourth Brother. [Zhao Chen Yao, can be pursued]

It's been three months.

Yet a second pursuable character has appeared?

Greetings, Empress and Second Prince.

It's getting late now.

Yao'er, your father is still waiting to dine with us.

Yes, Mother.

Farewell, Royal Mother and Second Brother.

Yi'er, there is no wrong with having fun in your prime.

However, you must cherish your reputation.

Was the Empress' poking character

also calculated based on the statistics of palace dramas?

It seems Fourth Prince doesn't have it easy.

Your Highness, Your Highness?

Do you like Cape Jasmine (gardenia)?

What if I do?

Cape Jasmine not only has a nice fragrance,

its fruit can also be used in medicine.

It's beneficial to the liver and gallbladder, anti-inflammatory, stops bleeding,

and reduces swelling.

So not only is it pretty

and smells nice, it's very useful.

Your Highness really has good taste.

You really know a lot.

You're flattering me.

Actually, people always think since Cape Jasmine has a nice fragrance,

it must rely on its appearance and smell to attract popularity.

Yet they don't know it has many practical uses.

So those who only judge others by their looks

to determine their character,

aren't they too shortsighted and shallow?

Say, why would a little white flower be so likeable?

You may leave.

I've eaten court maid's boxed lunches for many months.

I can finally change to eating proper meals!

You can eat if you want.

Fourth Prince, the dishes today are so plentiful.

Is it a special day today?

Today is an ordinary day.

An ordinary pair of boy and girl, ordinarily drinking and chatting happily.

"An ordinary pair"?

Is he admitting we are a pair?

What are you laughing about?

I'm happy about good things to eat.

I have no wine.

Fine, I will pour wine for you.

Girl, come with me to see the stars (xing xing).

Orangutans (xing xing)? Is there a zoo in the palace?

Over there.

Surely you aren't wanting to fly up there.

Do you want to fly?

Look, the stars in the sky are so beautiful.

The stars are everywhere.

Actually, each of us

is just like the stars in the sky.

Only if we work hard to shine, then others see us.

Were you seen?

Conversely, it's what I most hope doesn't happen.

Thank you...

for accompanying me... on my birthday.

[Pear Blossom Garden]

It should be time for the livestream now. I'll take a look.

[Livestreaming Now: Fourth Prince, Zhao Chen Yi ]

Your Highness, these are birthday gifts sent to you from various places.

This is from the Justice Minister's second daughter

- This is from the Personnel Minister's fourth daughter. - Enough.

This means that it's his birthday today.

So he asked me out...

Wait, how come these gifts were all from girls?

There is one more gift. After dinner today, Miss Xin'er saw that you were away

so she asked me to pass this to you.

"Xin'er"?

Xiao Jia, what are you doing?

I'm being angry.

Who made you angry this time?

Sugarcane the Fourth, of course.

"Sugarcane"? What sugarcane?

Sugarcane is used to describe a person who is exceptionally upright.

See? Isn't sugarcane straight and upright?

It's the first time I've heard such an analogy. That's quite interesting.

It tastes sweet, but full of fiber when you chew it. Of course, it's interesting.

By the way, Yun Zhu, have you heard any rumors about the fourth prince?

Now, you always end up mentioning the fourth prince.

My dear Yun Zhu, just tell me.

- I'll just listen a bit. - All right, all right.

I heard that Fourth Prince's mother's clan isn't distinguished.

His birth mother died early.

He had no brothers from the same mother.

He received many cold glances as a child.

Only after Lord Yu, the former Grand Secretary, took pity on him

and made him his student,

then his calligraphy and painting skill was explored.

He became a great favorite of the Emperor.

However, after Yu Family was convicted and raided,

His Highness gradually stopped politics

and cared only for pleasure and romance.

His post is now Associate in the Ministry of Rites.

"Associate"? Is that a very high post?

It's just a nominal title.

I heard he personally volunteered to be the Associate of Rites.

I guess he wanted it easy at the Ministry of Rites

so he could indulge in pleasure.

[Dining Department]

Zhao Chen Yi,

I really don't know you well enough.

What should I make for him?

Miss! Miss, please stop.

I'm Lu Ren Jia from the Clothing Department.

I would like to ask you for a favor.

I wonder if I could borrow the kitchen for just two hours.

I'm afraid this is a bit of a challenge.

[Would you like to use a new player game item? Copper coin x 20]

It turns out this newcomer game item has an assist feature.

Miss, look!

What do you think of this? Please help me.

You only get an hour. The kitchen is empty. Go ahead.

Miss, also...

What else?

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

I wonder...

Do you want shark fins and bear paws for such small money?

No, no. Actually, I just need

tomatoes, eggs, carrots...

Perfect.

Poached eggs are coming!

Off you go.

Your Highness made it easier to find you!

This is the omelet rice I brought for Your Highness today.

It's poisoned, right?

Yes. It's a very deadly poison.

It has a particularly beautiful name, called seeing the sun behind clouds.

What do you mean by that?

Let me demonstrate for you.

Do you call this seeing the sun behind clouds?

You can only see the sun after dispersing the clouds.

I hope in future, no matter what difficulties Your Highness encounters,

you can find your own light in the darkness.

Your Highness, happy birthday to you.

I hope can smile as happily as you did yesterday

during every day.

How did you know it was my birthday yesterday?

I saw the bird messenger of fairy godmother, and Duke of Zhou appeared in my dream.

I read the fortune with my fingers...

Fine, fine.

Why are you so garrulous (talkative)?

You may be cheeky,

but this is a delicious dish.

I hope it's not the last time I eat it.

How could it be the last time? If you want to eat it, let me know.

What if I want to eat it every day?

Then... then...

[Pear Blossom Garden]

Then... then...

Why don't you marry into my manor and cook for me every day?

[Livestreaming Now: Fourth Prince, Zhao Chen Yi ]

Actually, when he's focused on writing,

he looks really handsome.

- Xin'er, you're here. - "Xin'er"?

Your Highness is practicing calligraphy again.

Your font is becoming more and more graceful.

I heard that Your Highness left the palace a few days ago.

I went to see Calm Refreshing Manor in advance.

Although Calm Refreshing Manor's scenery is not as beautiful as Jiang Zhe's...

"Calm Refreshing Manor"? Where is that?

There's still a year. Next year on my birthday,

I can request my own domain to claim.

- "To claim"? That's so sudden! - Will he claim his domain?

Wasn't it stated Your Highness could decide on the timing yourself?

What's the difference between a day later or earlier?

When that time comes, will you still be willing to follow me, Xin'er?

Since Your Highness already made a decision,

then I'm naturally willing to follow.

Sugarcane the Fourth, Sugarcane the Fourth. So everything you told me today

was your scumbag sweet talk.

What game am I playing exactly?

Why did I pursue a fickle radish this whole time?

Sugarcane the Fourth, Sugarcane the Fourth, the name suits him.

It's fibrous pulp when you chew it.

Xiao Jia.

How come you still aren't asleep?

I'm sleeping. I'm sleeping.

Sleep soon.

Since Your Highness will claim your domain, then my Yu family's old revenge...

Xin'er, about Yu Family's revenge,

since I promised it, I will certainly deliver.

Make sure you are not blinded by hatred.

You still need to lead your own life.

Your Highness and Xu You Zheng were against each other so many years.

My heart was also tormented so many years.

I haven't had my own life in a long time.

Even my Yu surname was changed to Wu.

[Yu Manor]

[This property is sealed by the Internal Affairs Office.]

[Yu Zi Xin]

[Yu Zi Xin]

[Wu]

Even my only little brother ended up stranded, and I can't meet him.

Xiao Kang is in a very safe place.

Xu's sect and others cannot find him.

Your Highness, speaking of Xu You Zheng...

Keep talking.

I believe that palace maid, showing up in Profound Literature Pavilion

is not just a coincidence. She is too suspicious.

I heard recently, she and Your Highness are interacting more.

I worry that she and Xu You Zheng might...

There is no shortage of women who want to approach me.

Her identity and background,

I already investigated fully. She doesn't have any power.

Your Highness seems to have

a special relationship with that palace maid.

Xin'er, you don't need to worry about this issue.

But Your Highness...

And if you don't need anything important, come here less often.

You need to be more careful of your coming and going.

Take your leave.

It appears I must rely on myself to kill that Thief Xu.

I will take my leave.

Will you still be willing to follow me, Xin'er?

Since Your Highness already made a decision,

I'm naturally willing to follow.

Sugarcane the Fourth, I'm not angry at all!

Also, I don't like you at all!

You're just a pig!

[Pear Blossom Garden]

- Miss Yun Zhu, is Miss Xiao Jia here? - Yes.

Then can you please summon her for me? Just tell her Fourth Prince has invited her.

What happened?

- Water... - Water!

Are you feeling better?

Fourth Prince asks for you to go over now.

I don't want to go.

Why not?

Don't ask. I just don't want to.

But Xiao Bao is waiting outside right now. What do I tell him?

Just tell him I... I caught a cold.

My throat is very painful.

Fine, fine. You won't go.

Your Highness, it seems Miss Xiao Jia caught a cold.

She can't speak and it's hard for her to move around.

She can't come for storytelling today.

How did she catch a cold?

This...

Come with me to check it out.

Yes.

Say, he asks me to tell him stories every day.

- I'm not a TV show host. - Xiao Bao, block me.

- I... - You can't avoid him forever.

I don't care. I just want to steal a fleeting moment of idleness.

Xiao Jia, I think you should go in and lie down.

What if he finds out?

I think they are right.

Fourth Prince is a flirt by nature.

He wants someone to tell him a story today,

and tomorrow, he'll want someone to sing for him.

Perhaps the day after tomorrow, he will want someone to dance for him.

Xiao Bao.

Go tell her later that since she can't talk,

she should draw.

Anyway, starting tomorrow, I want to see a new story each day.

Understood.

He's such a philandering radish.

Then I shall draw the story of a man who flirted everywhere

and ended up in big trouble!

Lu Ren Jia, receive your reward.

Xiao Bao, forgive me; I can't greet you with a bow today.

Look how sick Miss Xiao Jia has become!

Hurry, give her medicine bestowed by Fourth Prince.

Goldthread rhizomes, Chinese skullcap and Amur cork tree bark,

all top three most bitter herbs are here.

Miss Xiao Jia, His Highness says he looks forward to your speedy recovery.

Each day you don't recover, we will bring all the mugwort and medicinal soup you need.

Begin the smoking!

Drink it.

Miss Xiao Jia, are you feeling better now?

- Stop. - Stop, stop.

Your Highness, these are the best new dancers from the Entertainment Education Department.

Are you still not pleased?

- Get them out of here first. - Yes.

Come on! Leave now.

The lady in the middle, please stay.

Your Highness, why are you looking at me like this?

Come forward.

Stop.

You look slim,

but each step you take seems to weigh a hundred pounds.

This would be due to suppression of internal energy.

Your Highness is so good at speaking in jest.

The department's matron only taught me to sing and dance.

How could I know any martial arts?

A lady from Entertainment Education Department naturally wouldn't know.

But you're not from there.
