Chapter 23 : Departure远离

We were enaed in activities that didn\''''t correspond with our positions. I think the Crown Prince should have reseled Zhan Guoyin—charistic, coandin, and enjoyin the finest thins in life concernin food, clothin, and shelter.

我们两个都在做着不符合自己身份的事情，在我心目中太子就应该如张国英一样英姿勃发，气宇轩昂，吃穿用度都是极好的。

He should have harbored lofty aitions, lookin down on others and only noticin those with exceptional abilities or unique qualities. Otherwise, he would have been like a fleetin cloud, vanishin without a trace.

心比天高，目中无人，除非对方确实有过人的能力和特别之处才能引来他的侧目和注意，否则他就像一片云，即使从你身边经过，也会片刻烟消云散，并且不留下一点点痕迹。

In heart, the Crown Prince should have been as unreachable as Zhan Guoyin.

在我心中的太子就应该像张国英一样那般地高高在上，那般地让人望尘莫及。

But I could never have iined the heir to the New Dynasty, the esteed Crown Prince, workin undercover on a far skillfully perforn the tasks with his hands calloused frotoil and labor.

可是我怎么也想不到新王朝皇的接班人，堂堂新王朝的太子殿下会隐姓埋名去做农活，并且还很擅长做农活，手上全是忙碌操劳带来厚厚的茧子。

Had I not seen it with own eyes and not spent day after day with hi I would never have believed such a prince could exist. Shouldn\''''t he have been studyin ierial tactics and strateies of power?

如果不是亲眼所见，如果不是日日相处，我永远也不会相信这个世界上会有这样的太子，他难道不应该去学帝王术？去学权谋吗？

I would have never approached hiif I had known his identity earlier. I would have kept distance, preventin the subsequent events frooccurrin and sparin Zhan Guoyin\''''s heart frobein pierced by this thorn.

如果我能早点知道他的身份，我一定不会去靠近他，一定会躲得远远的，那么就不会有后面的事情，张国英心中也不会一直有着这样的一根刺。

However, there are no \"what ifs\" in this world. As a result, ny thins happened between us, and we appeared to have done a lot toether. But in ter of concrete evidence, we had done nothin.

可是这个世界上没有如果，所以我和他之间似乎是发生了很多事情，我和他之间也似乎做了很多事，但如果论事实依据，我们两又什么都没有做过。

Adaptin to local custo and oin with the flow, I diliently played the role of a villae irl.

入乡随俗、随遇而安，我努力扮演着一个合格的村姑身份。

I joined thein washin clothes by the river, tauht theto sin on the riverbank, and as the atsphere rew re spirited, I tauht theto dance.

我也随着他们一起去河边洗衣服，在河岸上我教着他们唱歌，唱着唱着有了氛围了，就教他们跳舞。

Son and dance have power—they can soothe a person\''''s soul, provide coort in pain, and offer hope durin hardships.

歌声与舞蹈也是有力量的，他能够抚慰一个人的心灵，让人在痛苦中得到慰藉，让人在艰难中看到希望。

Suddenly, while dancin, I sohow fell into the river. When I reained consciousness, I learned froothers that the youn n had saved and had been tendin to with soup and dicine without rest.
