I have read the book sincerely. There were only four chapters, but each chapter was a classic, with ups and downs, causing me great anxiety to know what happened next. The “personal opinions” were especially breathtaking and magnificent.

As such, regarding you, sir’s “personal opinions”, this prince also has a few “personal opinions” that I would like to shamelessly present to you. I sincerely hope that you would not hesitate to enlighten me. 

(Continuing on from last week’s post from point #2)

Second: Regarding “The Incident of Gu Nan Yi’s Lighting-Fast Attack of Breast” 

Personal opinion 1: It’s a bit right. 

Personal opinion 2: Some people resist in a way that you can’t see.

Personal opinion 3: This prince didn’t cry but I think you will cry soon.

Personal opinion 4: Why do you think that is? 

Personal opinion 5: This prince suddenly feels that expelling you from the Chu manor is also a small matter.

Personal opinion 6: Sir, are you sure you don’t need me to order someone to go with all haste to urge you to put down your writing so you can go to Hanoi village and become the farmhead there? 

Ning Cheng’s original letter (Translation post #309)

Hour: The third day of the sixth month, a quarter past midnight. 

Characters: Gu Nan Yi, Feng Zhi Wei

Event: Gu Nan Yi hugged Feng Zhi Wei and rubbed against her breasts (Ridiculous!) 

Personal opinion 1: Gu Nan Yi is a jerk who understands too well how to treat a woman.

Personal opinion 2: Feng Zhi Wei did not resist, she actually didn’t resist! 

Personal opinion 3: Your Highness, after reading my last line, don’t cry yet I am not finished talking. I think it was not that Feng Zhi Wei didn’t want to resist, but she was simply too stunned and forgot to resist. 

Personal opinion 4: But then I thought even if she didn’t resist at the time she would go find Gu Nan Yi afterward to vent her anger so why didn’t she? 

Personal opinion 5: Your Highness, after reading #4 don’t be in a hurry to cry yet, I am still not done talking. I feel someone like Feng Zhi Wei overthink things. Maybe she thought it was pointless to make a fuss after the fact. Overall, this was a small thing. 

Personal opinion 6: Your Highness, are you sure you really don’t need to put aside your assignment of overseeing the traveling palace and come to Xiliang for a visit? 

Third: Regarding “Evil guard tricked person into searching the mountain, loyal Ning Cheng was almost killed!” 

Personal opinion 1: Whether I believe it or not, it looks like I have to believe even if I don’t. 

Personal opinion 2: You are finally smart for once.

Personal opinion 3: Don’t you know peeping is a crime?

Personal opinion 4: I will forward your original letter to Feng Zhi Wei, and severely protest against her act of harming you.

Personal opinion 5: The Hanoi farmstead welcomes you.

Personal opinion 6: Very good. 

Ning Cheng’s original letter: 

Time: 3:30 pm on the third day of July to 1 pm on the fourth day of July.

Place: Tenshan, Xiliang

Characters: Feng Zhi Wei, Gu Nan Yi, Unknown bandit stronghold.

Event: The bandits ambushed the envoy team, Feng Zhi Wei was captured. I went to rescue her, Gu Nan Yi also went to rescue her, and led me circling around the mountain and eventually to a swamp. 

Personal opinion 1: Feng Zhi Wei was captured? She was captured? Captured? Is that possible? I don’t know if you believe it or not…I don’t believe it. 

Personal opinion 2: Gu Nan Yi didn’t look like he was on his way to rescue someone. He looked more like he was on a personal mission to mess with me. 

Personal opinion 3: This subordinate doesn’t think I have ever offended Gu Nan Yi. I am guessing you must have offended him, and he is taking it out on me. 

Personal opinion 4: Going against Feng Zhi Wei is courting death, so the person deserves whatever coming to them. However, it is truly unfair to be on the receiving end when one has not done anything against her. Your Highness, you must avenge me. 

Personal Opinion 5: I can’t do this job anymore, please find someone else.

Personal opinion 6: The swamp really stinks. 

Fourth: Regarding “The Most Charming Thing about Xiliang Posthouse is the One Lick” 

I have no personal opinion about this chapter. After this prince read it, I have already finished writing the necessary documents to send you to Hanoi’s farmstead and asked that you be provided with as much rice as you need to be full, and coarse cotton coats to keep you warm. Having received such generosity and sincerity from me, this prince does not need you to be overwhelmed with gratitude. Yet, I imagine with your great loyalty and honest nature, you must be suffering greatly with the desire to thank this prince. However, everything on your body, from the sweat towel to the insole in your shoes, belongs to me. There is no reason for you to give me something that belongs to me already. After thinking about it, with much reluctance, I decided to accept this painting you sent. This way, you don’t have to wait for the post horse to deliver it to you anymore— It’s quite annoying sending things back and forth! Okay, sir, that’s it, you can wash up and go to bed!

Ning Cheng’s Letter (translation post #324)

Time: 2 o’clock on the fifth day of the seventh month. 

Location: Longjiang Posthouse, Jincheng, Xiliang.

Characters: Still the same two. 

Event: Feng Zhi Wei taught Gu Nan Yi to paint. There were so many things she could’ve taught but she insisted on painting walnuts, and she didn’t even paint well. She licked the paintbrush, and then Gu Nan Yi licked Feng Zhi Wei’s mouth. 

Personal opinion one: Licking this and licking that, that is the most unclean! 

Personal opinion two: I know the previous line is not the point. Licking this and that depends on who you lick. For example, if it were Your Highness who licked Feng Zhi Wei, I know you would never feel unclean. 

Personal opinion three: I know the second point is still not the point. The point is that Gu Nan Yi licked Feng Zhi Wei. 

Personal opinion four: But he had already licked and it was not like I could lick it back for you. At most, I can be angry for you (actually, I am not angry either. I loved seeing Feng Zhi Wei looking dumbfounded.) 

Personal opinion five: Feng Zhi Wei’s painting was truly appalling.

Personal opinion six: I saw half of Gu Nan Yi’s face today.

Personal opinion seven: Your Highness, you can wash up and go to bed. (That’s a Chinese saying for you are done for, and might as well give up.) 

————————-

The 800 miles rushed delivery, tasked with sending out the longest letter His Royal Highness Prince Chu has ever written in his life. The lights were on all night long, shining on the man’s elegant, beautiful face. There was a faint smile on his face, but there was a hint of worry as well. 

The wind that brushed against his long hair, crossed thousands of miles of land, hovered in a foreign land, when it finally blew on the dim candlelight in the secret room, it had become soft and careful. 

The people in the room also spoke softly and carefully, as if they were whispering. 

“…At the end of the seventeenth year of Xiliang, Concubine Mi, the only pregnant concubine in the palace, gave birth to a son. At that time, His Majesty was touring the southern border and was not in the palace. Before leaving, he entrusted the affairs of the state to me and several other ministers, and ordered his younger brother, Prince Li, to govern the country on his behalf. His Majesty had not had many children for many years. His three sons and four daughters had all died young. This child of Concubine Mi was very important. His Majesty should have rushed back before Concubine Mi gave birth, but for some reason, Concubine went into premature labor. The empress said Concubine’s premature labor was due to offending the gods, and wanted to move Concubine to another dwelling. She then also asked the officials from the Imperial Observatory, and they said that those who were born in the year of the rabbit should not be allowed to be near the delivery. Concubine Mi’s most capable maidservant happened to be born in the year of the rabbit, so she was immediately banished to the Cold Palace (the place where concubines/maidservants who have lost favor with the emperor are sent). It was naturally not a good idea to move a pregnant woman who was about to give birth. Concubine Mi struggled for three days and three nights before giving birth. When it was almost dawn, the nanny said that Concubine Mi had given birth to a prince, and Concubine Mi…” Lu Rui paused, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. Feng Zhi Wei looked into his eyes, and a flash of understanding dawned in her, but then she heard him said slowly, “She suffered too much, and her mind has been a bit abnormal since then.” 

Feng Zhi Wei was stunned. She didn’t expect that the concubine could actually survive. In such matters as fighting for the throne, a life has no meaning. Lu Rui sighed and said, “Don’t underestimate Concubine Mi. Over the years, princes of Xiliang have died one after another. The oldest of them did not live past the age of seven. The fact that Concubine Mi was able to get pregnant and give birth safely under such circumstances is the biggest proof of her ability. She was born in the northern border of Xiliang, and her family bloodline…is quite special. Even her madness, till this day, I still have some doubts about I,t but I can’t meet her to confirm it…. I have gone off topic. Back to what we were saying. That night, the nanny went out to report that a prince was born. The empress who was waiting outside the palace was about to go in to see the baby, but the prince suddenly disappeared!”
