"...I will never provoke you again, and the emperor will not favor you. After all, you are just an insignificant concubine. You can escape from the palace often and learn the hairpin wearing skills from the common people."
"That's perfect. I can just run around inside and outside the palace, right?"
"Well, there's just one question. If the transformation potion wears off, your true form will be revealed. Even so, are you willing to take the risk?"
"I am willing. To prove that I am not stupid, I will do my best. My brother thought I was stupid, so he taught Ji Nianqin all the good things and knowledge. That's why she looked down on me. You know, no one has what you have better than yourself."
"Okay, now that you've made your decision, let's get going."
"Wait, if the potion doesn't work, will I die?"
"Someone will know that you are impersonating the deceased concubine, if you don't run fast enough."
"So, I just need to practice running races regularly in the palace? Then I can learn from modern times and run a marathon, wouldn't that be fine?"
"That's true, but..."
"Don't just say buts, I'm asking you right now, can you give me a chance and let me run away from here?"
"The space-time tunnel and transfiguration are both my proudest inventions. I'm actually worried that if you're so impulsive, you might destroy my space-time tunnel."
"No, no, hurry up, just say start quickly, I'm going to rush out like it's a marathon."
"From now on, you will be alone in the Tang Dynasty. Are you afraid?"
"I, I have a little bit, but what does it matter? For the sake of my own intelligence, these are nothing."
"How about this? There just happen to be a few Ming Dynasty guards traveling back in time from the modern era. In that case, I'll assign some of them to you, transforming you into a young eunuch or something. What do you think?"
"No, no, if there are too many people, and one of their potions fails and leaks, won't I be in trouble too?"
"Okay, then I'll say 1, 2, 3, and you start."
"Ji Nianqin, I will definitely surpass you. I want you to know that I can do the role of the hairpin you want to play better than you can. It's still hard to say who is the Miss Hairpin described by modern writers."
"Ah, that's weird. I've sneezed several times in a row. Could it be someone missing me? The prince? Impossible. Look at how sleepy he is all day with chickenpox, drooling, and thinking only about chicken legs. Then it must be Cao Hanhui."
"Ji Nianqin, please continue talking about the wonderful uses of the top hairpin."
"Princess Mingyue, today you've already learned the gold filigree tower figure hairpin, which was unearthed from the tomb of Princess Wan of Mingyizhuang. It's mainly decorated with flowers, and that's all. If I teach you too much, you won't be able to learn it, right?"
"Why can't I learn it? The base of the hairpin is placed flat, and the body of the hairpin is perpendicular to the foot. The top of the hairpin you wear is placed sideways, so the pattern can be seen from the front, highlighting your ugly face."
"Princess Mingyue, since you're so keen on coming to me for discussions and learning, I'd be wise to show you one today: a gold-inlaid, precious flower-topped hairpin unearthed from the tomb of Zhu Zaizhen, Prince of Duchang, and his wife, during the Ming Dynasty."
"Ah, Ji Nianqin, you gave me a cold. I'll learn it another day."
"Princess Mingyue, please wear more clothes, eh..."
