"Nonsense, this is sheer nonsense! I'm the crown prince of a country, and you actually say I'm a fake. Do you think there were fakes in ancient times?"
"Why not? You mean you just got here? That's strange. I clearly saw a man who looked exactly like you, and he said something like he wanted to drag me out and chop me off. And there's also this bold peasant who looks exactly like you. If he imitates you faithfully, then the person behind it must know all your habits. I see, could it be that the person who looks so much like you in modern times is the little black man in bed?"
"Are you saying that modern people have traveled back to ancient times? How is that possible? If I weren't the crown prince, I wouldn't have come back. I heard from the people that they've just started living a good life these days. In the past, people were living in poverty, but I just didn't know about it. It seems that I, as the crown prince, have failed in my duty. I was so focused on traveling around that I didn't even notice that there were such people who lived in extreme hardship."
"Yes, if you ask me, it's because of your stubborn nature that the people in the palace don't have a good impression of you. It's just because of your power that they don't dare to talk about your right and wrong. But the people are mourning the emperor's death, but they don't seem to care at all about you turning into a little black man. It's easy to imagine what you were doing when you left the palace."
"I just want to go out and have some fun. After all, not everyone can work all the time. I think I can combine work and rest."
"You're so lazy about work and rest, what do you think of the people? I heard when I was distributing food and clothes, you snatched all the candy from the children, saying you were feeding it to the dog. No wonder Lulu wants to bite you when she sees you now. If you feed it chocolate, it's poisonous to it."
"Anyway, please stop blaming me. I know that taking the people's every last needle and thread was wrong, and I always bullied the weak. For example, I often forced them to take off their clothes and tied them to two trees for me to play on the swings. I also went to the opera troupe and used the people's grains to hit the faces of the troupe members who didn't like the performance. But you can't say that I'm not doing my job properly, right? After all, I've changed now, so the words you said about dragging them out and beheading them are definitely not mine anymore, because they are too uncivilized."
"Alright, alright, I get it. It seems I misunderstood you, but don't you think you have a lot of problems? For example, who told you to dump everything on the floor? And why did you bring me some sunflower seeds? Are you treating the palace like a shopping mall or a supermarket? Are you trying to get free tastings?"
"Oh, I know. Don't criticize me anymore. If it doesn't work out, then that's it. I'll go back first and come back another day. There's no place for me here anyway. I feel like I'm redundant. Anyway, my father is gone."
It turns out that the prince was cracking melon seeds to demonstrate his inner sorrow. Although he appeared to be indifferent on the surface, his heart was actually already broken, just like this pile of weeds.
"Don't be sad. I know you're pitiful, which is why I let you stay in my beauty salon. But I know you're not happy. When we make some money, we'll open a photography studio for you first. Then we can really provide one-stop service. Now I'll do your makeup and hairstyling at my beauty salon, and then you can go to the Sixth Prince and the counselor's clothing store to choose clothes. Finally, I'll go to the photography studio, and you can be the model and the photographer..."
