~11 min read 2,071 words

Tuo Ba Yu, Gu Jiu Ling, clinic - not a named entity, generic. outsider generic. firecrackers generic.

Bei Di - already in glossary.

Xiao Yin - in glossary. Bei Di people - maybe Bei Di as people; but it's a term for ethnic group; could be considered a named group? Might be considered a faction/people. The glossary includes Bei Di as a term; we can include it as Bei Di. Also husband generic.

Gu Jiu Ling felt a throbbing headache, but you don't strike a smiling face.

Tuo Ba Yu brought gifts to offer congratulations; we can't very well drive him away, can we?

【6】

Gu Jiu Ling, Tuo Ba Yu, Princess Consort - in glossary.

Thank you, Princess Consort—I'll obey rather than stand on ceremony.

【8】

【9】

Tuo Ba Yu, Xiao Yin, Zuo Feichen - in glossary.

Tuo Ba Yu, Xiao Yin, Princess Consort? Actually "this king" refers to Xiao Yin (Prince). "this king's beloved consort" refers to Gu Jiu Ling. So we have Xiao Yin, Princess Consort.

Xiao Yin gripped his chopsticks tightly, raised his brows at Tuo Ba Yu, and smiled: "Sorry, Crown Prince, this dish was specially left for me by my consort; you know I love it."

Tuo Ba Yu's face stiffened, then he gave a faint smile, picked up another dish to eat, remained silent, yet continued to speak politely and gently to Gu Jiu Ling.

【12】

first release website htt - looks like truncated URL, not a named entity; ignore.

Gu Jiu Ling could barely bear to look; after saying a few words to Tuo Ba Yu, she turned her head toward Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin gritted his teeth as he ate the spicy chicken before him; the spicier it became, the more his handsome pale face flushed.

"Prince, would you like some water?" Gu Jiu Ling knew he was still ill; if he really got hurt by the spice, what would we do?

【16】

No.

She lowered her head and had to say: "Prince, you're being overly suspicious; Zuo Feichen is the physician I hired, Tuo Ba Yu is my patient—what are you jealous about?"

Besides, I've already married you—I'm yours now...

Xiao Yin said lightly: "We haven't even turned raw rice into cooked rice yet; moreover, the one cooking the rice isn't me."

Gu Jiu Ling drew a sharp breath, rolled her eyes, couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said softly: "In this world, there's absolutely no pervert who would like a pregnant woman."

Xiao Yin's brows knitted tightly as he coldly stared at Gu Jiu Ling: "Are you scolding me for being a pervert?"

【22】

Gu Jiu Ling (just name with ellipsis).

Xiao Yin said coldly: "Gu Jiu Ling, you'd better behave; don't flirt with those clueless men—my temper isn't great."

"Fine, fine, I won't flirt; besides, who would want to flirt with your wife—must have water in the brain."

Crown Prince - in glossary.

Crown Prince Xiao Ting - actually "Crown Prince Xiao Ting" - the Crown Prince's name is Xiao Ting. This is a person's name not in glossary. Need to provide pinyin: Xiao Ting. Also Crown Prince already Crown Prince.

Mr. Wen (Mr. Wen) - a person's name: Wen Xiansheng? Actually "Mr. Wen" is Mr. Wen. Not in glossary. Should we translate as "Mr. Wen"? According to rules: official titles and ranks translate by meaning; but a person's name with surname + title like "Mr." is a form of address, not a rank. It's a generic form of address (not a rank). The rule says: Exclude generic forms of address (not ranks). So "Mr. Wen" is a generic form of address (Mr.) plus surname. Should we treat as a named entity? It's a person's name with honorific. The surname is a name; we should romanize the surname: Wen. The title "Mr." is generic address, we can translate as "Mr."? The rule says exclude generic forms of address (not ranks). So we should not include "Mr." as a named entity; but the surname "Wen" is a name. Should we include "Wen" as a named entity? The guideline: List every NAMED entity / coined term in these lines: characters (incl. the protagonist & minor ones). So "Mr. Wen" refers to a character Mr. Wen. So we should include the character's name: Wen (surname). The honorific is not part of the name. So we output raw_term: "Wen", original_term: "Wen". However the original term is "Mr. Wen". Should we include the full original term? The instruction: List every NAMED entity / coined term in these lines: characters (incl. the protagonist & minor ones), places, sects/clans/factions/peoples, official & sect ranks/titles, techniques, cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names. For a character, we should include the name. The original term is "Mr. Wen". But we could split: the name is "Wen". The honorific is generic. I'd include raw_term: "Wen", original_term: "Wen". However to be safe, maybe include "Wen" as the English name, original_term: "Wen". We'll see.

Gu Nanxiang - a person's name not in glossary. Should be pinyin: Gu Nanxiang. Also palace generic.

If it weren't for his stupidity, Gu Jiu Ling would now be his crown princess consort.

The more he thought, the more upset and stifled he felt; upon entering the pavilion this time, seeing Gu Jiu Ling chatting and laughing beside Xiao Yin made his heart flutter anxiously, heavy and painful.

Gu Jiu Ling was also dumbfounded; she just wanted to eat a quiet meal—how did this shameless fellow also show up?

【32】

Xiao Ting again, plus doctor generic.

Have I ever in my life seen so many nobles and officials?

【34】

Imperial Uncle - in glossary. Imperial Aunt (Imperial Aunt?) Actually "Imperial Aunt" is Imperial Aunt (wife of imperial uncle?). Not in glossary. It's a title. Should translate as "Imperial Aunt". Not a rank? It's a title of nobility. Should we include? It's a title, like "Imperial Aunt". According to rule: official & sect ranks/titles should be included. So we need to include "Imperial Aunt". The English translation: Imperial Aunt. Original term: "Imperial Aunt". Also Imperial Aunt's clinic - the clinic belonging to Imperial Aunt.

Xiao Ting sat down regardless of whether Gu Jiu Ling welcomed him.

Jiu Yue and the few maidservants were also anxious; the table originally set for the master, arranged for five or six, happened to seat the princess consort couple and Mr. Zuo three people, leaving it spacious and convenient for conversation.

I didn't expect Tuo Ba Yu to come, and now the Crown Prince has arrived as well, instantly filling the table.

They hadn't prepared extra tables; tables and utensils could be managed, but they had only prepared this much food.

She hurriedly turned to order Yun Duo to rush to other restaurants to temporarily order dishes, while she prepared new utensils for the Crown Prince.

Xiao Ting sat down, picked up his chopsticks to grab the spicy fish before him, when suddenly his chopsticks were blocked by Xiao Yin's chopsticks.

He raised his brows; Xiao Yin said coldly: "Sorry, this spicy fish is a dish specially made for me by my consort."

"Hah!" Xiao Ting coldly laughed: "Imperial Uncle... you're acting like a child; if my nephew doesn't eat, then so be it."

He picked up a chopstick of cabbage, his face sinking slightly.

Gu Jiu Ling glanced at the pavilion entrance, confirmed no one was there, just turned her face to look at the tabletop and was instantly stunned.

The chopsticks of Xiao Yin, Xiao Ting, and Tuo Ba Yu clashed over the plate, snatching vegetables and meat, fighting fiercely; if the chopsticks turned into swords, nobody would likely survive.

On the side, Zuo Feichen leaned in his chair, holding a teacup, smiling faintly, his smile full of meaning.

Gu Jiu Ling took a breath, about to say something.

【52】

Sixth Prince - in glossary. Third Prince - not in glossary. Should translate as "Third Prince". Original term: "Third Prince". Also Prince is a title.

Gu Eldest Uncle (Gu Eldest Uncle) - "Gu Eldest Uncle" is a form of address for eldest uncle in Gu family. It's a title? It's a kinship term used as address. Might be considered a generic form of address (not a rank). The rule says exclude generic forms of address (not ranks). So we should not include "Gu Eldest Uncle". Similarly "Gu Second Uncle", "Gu Third Uncle". These are kinship terms. Exclude.

Mr. Wen - again; we already considered Wen.

Princess Manor Cheng Young Marquis (Princess Manor Cheng Young Marquis?) Actually "Princess Manor Cheng Young Marquis" maybe refers to a person: "Cheng Young Marquis" from the Princess Manor. This is a title: "Young Marquis". Not in glossary. Should translate as "Young Marquis". Original term: "Young Marquis". The prefix "Princess Manor Cheng" maybe indicates "Cheng from the Princess Manor"? Actually "Princess Manor Cheng Young Marquis" could be read as "Princess Manor's Cheng, Young Marquis". Might be a name: "Cheng Young Marquis" is a title; "Princess Manor Cheng" maybe a person named Cheng from the Princess Manor. Hard to parse. Likely it's a title: "Young Marquis Cheng of the Princess Manor". So we have a person: Cheng (surname) with title Young Marquis. We'll include the name "Cheng" as a character? The original term includes "Princess Manor Cheng". Might be better to treat "Princess Manor Cheng Young Marquis" as a title: "Young Marquis Cheng of the Princess Manor". But we need to list named entities: characters, places, sects, etc. "Princess Manor" is Princess Manor (a place). That's a named place. Should include "Princess Manor". Original term: "Princess Manor". Also "Young Marquis" is a title: Young Marquis. We'll include both.

Gu Kang - in glossary. Gu family eldest uncle - generic kinship, exclude. Gu family third uncle - exclude.

The doctors at another table were eating while crying, "What can we do? Make space—the table is full of their leftovers; if we don't move things, how did so many royal relatives come? Just dragging out any one of them could cost us our lives."

【54】

No.

Gu Jiu Ling's side was no better; lacking seats, they started joining tables and adding stools, a crowd squeezed together like sardines in a can.

【56】

Cheng Ming - a person's name not in glossary.

Gu Jiu Ling had been ignoring him for some days; after that incident, she had grown to dislike that mother‑son pair from the princess's manor.

I didn't expect Cheng Ming to come as well; the moment he appeared in the pavilion, everyone around was instantly frightened silly.

Gu Jiu Ling also looked at Cheng Ming in disbelief—he was bare‑armed, carrying a bundle of thorny branches, his broad spine stained with blood.

He also held a pole, on which hung a strip of cloth with a few characters written on it.

Gu Jiu Ling is the number one divine doctor under heaven!

Cheng Mingguang, shirtless, slammed the pole down with a bang, it fell straight in front of Gu Jiu Ling: "I'm willing to bet and accept defeat!"

"You saved my life, I walked a big loop around the streets, and now everyone sees me embarrassed—are you satisfied?"

Gu Jiu Ling's eye twitched: "Cut the 'old man' nonsense—my father is Gu Shangshu!"

The three Gu brothers coughed.

"Hmph!" Cheng Ming squeezed in between Xiao Yin and Xiao Ting, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, then glanced at the few remaining spicy chicken pieces in front of Xiao Yin—he had walked four streets and was starving.

These past few days his recovery has been good; he's no longer a freak, food tastes fragrant, he hasn't had spicy chicken in ages, and his mother won't let him eat it, saying it might clash with his medicine.

He lifted his chopsticks to grab the spicy chicken, but suddenly Xiao Yin's chopsticks blocked his.

Cheng Ming looked at Xiao Yin in disbelief, got angry, fiercely shoved aside Xiao Yin's chopsticks, using seventy or eighty percent of his internal strength—who would have thought Xiao Yin would always have the upper hand.

Cheng Ming's cheeks puffed out as he held his breath and slammed down his chopsticks; Xiao Yin remained calm and countered.

Ding-ding-dang-dang! Clang! Scratch! Ding-dong… clack-clack… ding-dang-clang…

Gu Jiu Ling stood at the edge of the table; there was no place left for her here, she was actually squeezed out, she rubbed her forehead and looked at the dark mass of bastards before her!

All bastards! Damn it!
