The Princess Royal (度华年)

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

Your Highness.

Stop writing.

Your Highness, if you want to get divorced,

just do so as soon as possible.

If you want the Prince Consort to stay,

then go back early.

Why are you still here?

You're still so young.

Why do you care?

Your Highness, you're still very young yourself.

In fact, I'm a few years older than you.

Just listen to me, go back.

Your Highness, you've always been decisive.

Why are you being evasive now?

You can't stay at the Inspectorate

and go through these documents until you die.

You have to go back sooner or later.

Do you think

that I am now indecisive

and unlikable?

If I go back now,

this is the kind of person Pei Wenxuan will meet.

So what?

Anyway, Pei Wenxuan adores you.

And you also care about him.

Who said so?

Your Highness, before this,

have you ever fed anyone soup?

Have you ever attended to anyone?

Have you ever tried

to care about anyone else's feelings?

Have you ever cared

that someone might like you or otherwise?

Do you really not care about him?

When the assassins tried to kill you,

you told me to do nothing about it.

But when they tried to kill Pei Wenxuan,

you actually finished them off.

And now, even though it's too risky to kill Xie Lanqing,

but in order to warn them

-and avenge the Prince Consort-- -How dare you.

Your Highness, if you keep this up,

you'll push everyone who loves you

and whom you love away.

Have you really thought

about how you want to lead your life?

I have thought it through.

I don't need anyone to care about me.

I have wealth and power.

I can keep anyone I like by my side

and ensure that the people I care about live a good life.

That's what I want.

Also…

I don't need you to tell me

how I will live my life.

I understand.

You think that everything needs a result.

Pei Wenxuan is forcing me for an answer,

and now you're doing the same.

Yes, he's right.

I don't want to make any effort

while hoping that he could stay.

This is what selfishness is.

No matter how nice I treat him,

if I can't give him what he wants,

I'll need to make everything clear and keep nothing for myself.

What happened today is my fault.

I refused to see his feelings all this time.

That's why I always assume the worst.

Had I been more mindful, I wouldn't have hurt him,

so I should be apologizing

and explaining everything to him.

I shouldn't presume that what I do is best for him

and assume that by doing so,

I can repay for what he has done for me.

I should give him whatever he wants, and if I can't, I should tell him clearly.

Your Highness, why have you never thought

about being with him for real?

Your Highness, we've arrived.

Why have you never thought

about being with Pei Wenxuan for real?

Rong, remember.

In the face of power, all love and affection

are like dew on the morning grass.

It will be gone very fast.

I am a bit worried about her.

What is your relationship with her?

Childhood friends.

Your Highness?

Got it.

Your Highness, you're back.

You haven't gone to sleep yet.

I have a slight wound.

I need to get up at night and change my redressing.

I'm afraid I may disturb you,

so I'm planning

to sleep at the study starting from tonight.

I hope you'll approve my request.

It's getting late and cold.

Your Highness, you should get some rest.

I'm sorry.

In the past,

I didn't make myself clear to you.

I was being evasive.

It's my fault.

I let you down today.

It's my fault as well.

Your Highness, don't take it to heart.

Everything is my own decision.

Whether you accept it or not,

that's up to you,

and there's no right or wrong.

Today…

I must have offended you.

I hope you'll forgive me, Your Highness.

Have you really thought

about how you want to lead your life?

Your Highness, you want a good life.

You don't want to live the way you did.

You want the Crown Prince to be happy.

You want a complete family.

You want someone who loves you and whom you love.

You want to be surrounded by children.

You want someone who you can rely on

and keep you company as you age.

Right?

Pei Wenxuan.

Can you…

Can you wait for me a little longer?

I know

I'm not very likable.

Especially when it comes to romantic relationships,

you could find me abhorrent.

I am unable to trust you

and even myself.

But that doesn't mean I can't feel your affection for me.

I didn't mean to hold you off from an answer.

I know how to show love well.

But I can do none of them.

I just can't

let my guard down completely and hand over my heart to another.

That's why I need to constantly confirm that you won't leave.

Still, despite my flaws,

can you just…

Even if it's just a dream,

fate has brought us together after so many tribulations,

so can you wait for me?

Please don't go.

Forget it.

You must find this ridiculous.

Please don't take what I said seriously.

Just…

Just follow your heart.

You can leave if you want to.

Rong.

It's fine.

Rong, 10 years.

Or 20 years. Is that enough?

If it's not…

I can add another 20 years.

I'm incredibly patient.

I can wait for a long time.

You can take your time.

I won't get tired.

I won't leave either.

Because…

I've liked you

for a long time.

I will wait for you.

Just move forward.

What do you see in me?

I have a foul temper,

and I'm always mean to you.

Personally,

I'm into someone with a foul temper.

I like someone who is mean to me.

That's why to me,

you're better than anyone else in the world.

This is so embarrassing.

I'm sorry.

How is this embarrassing?

I love seeing you feeling embarrassed.

That makes me happy.

What happened today is your fault.

Do you know how much those flowers blown up by you cost?

No matter how much they cost, you're using my money.

I haven't even blamed you

for spending money recklessly.

Yet you're telling me how expensive they are.

All right, let's put an end to this tiff.

Bundle up. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

Come on.

Come on, let's walk you back to your room.

Mr. Su, whatever you have in mind,

you can just tell me.

Your Highness.

Do you want

to make Prince Su the Crown Prince?

The first son of the Empress has always been made the Crown Prince.
