"I'm telling you, don't ever think I'm afraid of you... Auntie, why did you fall down? We kids haven't cast any magic yet."
"Everyone, please pay attention. I'm Ji Nianqin. There are only ten minutes left for the Hairpin Cultural Festival you're attending. Please go ahead and buy whatever you want."
"Hahaha, if you hadn't told me earlier, I could still buy it. I thought it was just an exhibition."
"Hey, Ji Nianqin, why are you so anxious? I, the prince, just came out for a walk, and I see there are quite a lot of people here. Why don't you just drive until tomorrow morning, when there's no one around? Isn't that okay?"
"Of course not, but I don't want to tell you the specific reasons. Anyway, just treat me as Cinderella. In the last five minutes, I want to say thank you to Big Sister. Although this Hairpin Culture Festival had many shortcomings, seeing everyone's faces full of pink and white smiles, my heart is so happy."
"A pink and white smile? Hahaha, Ji Nianqin, you said that it should be a pig. I am not wrong, am I?"
"Hate it, Prince, what are you doing here? I think you are here just to make me look bad. Don't say I'm rude to you."
"That's not what I meant. I just think you're quite capable. You were able to organize this entire hairpin-wearing festival by yourself, and even invited quite a few elderly grandpas and grandmas. Just because you promised them you'd help them with their hairpins for free, they all brought their own little stools and lined up outside. Do you have any idea how terrifying this scene is?"
"It's really like a dog can't spit out ivory. It's obviously a good thing, but why do you make them act like idiots after you say that? And it's so orderly, isn't it? It's just that I really don't have time to help them one by one."
"Why? I really can't understand. Can't you just wait a little longer? These old men and women usually go home by this time of square dancing. Now, they've been waiting in line for a long time, and you're not going to give them the dance?"
"But I really have something to do. Besides, it wasn't me who asked them to line up."
"That won't work either. It's like those restaurants out there. Can you just say, 'There are so many people waiting for a table, and when it reaches a certain point, just kick them all out and see if they don't complain, Ji Nianqin? If I'm not mistaken, isn't that your friend over there? Did she travel through time? Don't tell me she was the one who told you to leave on time at 12 o'clock. It's not like it's a pumpkin carriage. Is that necessary?'"
"Don't say that, my good friend. I volunteered to go back and investigate one thing, which is Brother Haoyu's death. If it is really related to the Queen, then the Crown Prince's crime should be the same as that of the common people."
"I haven't committed any crime, have I?"
"I'm not talking about you, I'm just using a metaphor. So wait a minute, please help entertain these old men and women. If they want something to eat, please buy some. Oh, and I've called my lawyer. He'll be here soon. I want to take him back with me."
"You're not taking me? What's the logic? Although modern times are good, and as the crown prince, I feel much freer than in the palace, but after what you did, I feel like I've been ostracized..."
"Ji Nianqin, the time has come!"
