24 Chapter : Departure遠離

Chapter 23 : Departure遠離

We were engaged in activities that didn\'t correspond with our positions. I think the Crown Prince should have resembled Zhang Guoying—charismatic, commanding, and enjoying the finest things in life concerning food, clothing, and shelter.

我們兩個都在做着不符合自己身份的事情，在我心目中太子就應該如張國英一樣英姿勃發，氣宇軒昂，吃穿用度都是極好的。

He should have harbored lofty ambitions, looking down on others and only noticing those with exceptional abilities or unique qualities. Otherwise, he would have been like a fleeting cloud, vanishing without a trace.

心比天高，目中無人，除非對方确實有過人的能力和特別之處才能引來他的側目和注意，否則他就像一片雲，即使從你身邊經過，也會片刻煙消雲散，并且不留下一點點痕跡。

In my heart, the Crown Prince should have been as unreachable as Zhang Guoying.

在我心中的太子就應該像張國英一樣那般地高高在上，那般地讓人望塵莫及。

But I could never have imagined the heir to the New Dynasty, the esteemed Crown Prince, working undercover on a farm, skillfully performing the tasks with his hands calloused from toil and labor.

可是我怎麽也想不到新王朝皇的接班人，堂堂新王朝的太子殿下會隐姓埋名去做農活，并且還很擅長做農活，手上全是忙碌操勞帶來厚厚的繭子。

Had I not seen it with my own eyes and not spent day after day with him, I would never have believed such a prince could exist. Shouldn\'t he have been studying imperial tactics and strategies of power

如果不是親眼所見，如果不是日日相處，我永遠也不會相信這個世界上會有這樣的太子，他難道不應該去學帝王術？去學權謀嗎？

I would have never approached him if I had known his identity earlier. I would have kept my distance, preventing the subsequent events from occurring and sparing Zhang Guoying\'s heart from being pierced by this thorn.

如果我能早點知道他的身份，我一定不會去靠近他，一定會躲得遠遠的，那麽就不會有後面的事情，張國英心中也不會一直有着這樣的一根刺。

However, there are no \"what ifs\" in this world. As a result, many things happened between us, and we appeared to have done a lot together. But in terms of concrete evidence, we had done nothing.

可是這個世界上沒有如果，所以我和他之間似乎是發生了很多事情，我和他之間也似乎做了很多事，但如果論事實依據，我們兩又什麽都沒有做過。

Adapting to local customs and going with the flow, I diligently played the role of a village girl.

入鄉随俗、随遇而安，我努力扮演着一個合格的村姑身份。

I joined them in washing clothes by the river, taught them to sing on the riverbank, and as the atmosphere grew more spirited, I taught them to dance.

我也随着他們一起去河邊洗衣服，在河岸上我教着他們唱歌，唱着唱着有了氛圍了，就教他們跳舞。

Song and dance have power—they can soothe a person\'s soul, provide comfort in pain, and offer hope during hardships.

歌聲與舞蹈也是有力量的，他能夠撫慰一個人的心靈，讓人在痛苦中得到慰藉，讓人在艱難中看到希望。

Suddenly, while dancing, I somehow fell into the river. When I regained consciousness, I learned from others that the young man had saved me and had been tending to me with soup and medicine without rest.

突然跳着跳着，我不知怎麽回事，掉進了河裏，醒來後，聽別人說是那個少年救了我。

并且他為了照顧我而衣不解帶，親奉湯藥。

The village girls and older women teased me, saying I had found a wonderful husband-to-be. Secretly, I scoffed, knowing that with my status, I would never marry a farmer.

村裏的姑娘阿婆取笑我，說我找到了一個很好的如意郎君。我暗自苦笑，我這樣的身份，絕對不會嫁給一個農民的。

Even if I were willing, my status and family would never permit it.

即使我自己願意，我的身份也不允許，我的家族更不允許。
