The Jin Family's Little Empress

"Quick, tell me! When did you start liking me?"

"There is a beautiful one, whom I see and cannot forget. A single day without seeing them, and I yearn like mad. A phoenix flies hi...

It's time to fight!

When Helan Ruizhe wanted to continue talking to her, there was a knock on the door. The food was ready.

Jin Suting jumped up and went to open the door, muttering excitedly: "It's finally okay, it's finally okay, it's finally okay!"

The waiter put all the dishes down and arranged them before pushing them out and closing the door again. Jin Suting couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat. Mmm! It smells so good!

While eating, she remembered that Jin Suting didn't seem to see Yu Chenghao, so she asked Helan Ruizhe: "Isn't Yu Chenghao always at Zuixianlou? Why didn't I see him today?"

"Do you really want to see him?" Helan Ruizhe became jealous and did not let his good brother go.

"Oh, not really," Jin Suting didn't notice the jealousy of a certain prince at all. All she saw was the delicious food. "If he were here, not only would we have this meal for free, he would also give us extra dishes. Every time I come here, he gives me a lot of dishes!"

That's because you're the proprietress of their restaurant, silly girl. Helan Ruizhe picked up a piece of pork tenderloin for the frantic eater and said, "He didn't come because today is the Flower Festival."

"Isn't the boss of Huajie closed for business?" Jin Suting was chewing a bone, mumbling incoherently.

"He's busy dating girls." Helan Ruizhe dug up his brother's secrets, even down to his underwear. "Yoo Seung-ho flies lanterns with different girls every year during the Flower Festival, so he's naturally very busy."

Jin Suting, who was desperately fighting for the last bit of flesh on her bones, was stunned. "Dating a different girl every year?"

I can’t believe it, Yoo Seung-ho is only sixteen years old but he is actually a sea king!

"Those girls will not break up with Yu Seung-ho after they know this. Um, I mean, will they turn against each other?" Jin Suting asked this while sucking the sauce on her fingers. She seemed to be very interested in this kind of "Aquaman" story.

Helan Ruizhe said: "They would quarrel, and every time it was very intense."

Then, many times, that guy came to beg him to clean up the mess for him. Yoo Seung-ho is rich, and he would not look for a woman whose affairs can be solved with money. But most of the women who like Yoo Seung-ho are not because of his money, but because of his beauty, oh no, handsomeness.

"So will there be another good show to watch this year?" Jin Suting is very sensitive to gossip, second only to food.

Although the other party is her "good sister" Yoo Seung-ho, but who makes him a "sea king"?

"Not necessarily," Helan Ruizhe analyzed matter-of-factly. "There haven't been many girls around him in the past few months. Maybe he's suddenly changed his ways this year and adopted a more roundabout strategy."

"Has he met true love?" Jin Suting made a bold guess. When she was reading romance novels in the past, she was most fascinated by the story about a playboy who spent money lavishly and dated many beautiful women but turned into a playboy who returned home after falling in love with Cinderella.

"I hope so." Helan Ruizhe seemed to be indifferent to Yu Seung-ho's love affair. Based on his understanding of Yu Seung-ho, he would have to wait until he was very old to get him to turn over a new leaf and live a good life.

It was already night when they came out of Zuixianlou after dinner.

When she arrived at West Street just now, Jin Suting noticed that the street vendors all put more or less flowers on their stalls.

It was night now, and candles were lit among the flowers. Suddenly the whole street was ablaze with colour, as if hung with small coloured lanterns.

There are many small vendors selling lanterns on the street. The lanterns are made by digging out the core of a lotus flower, placing your favorite flowers and candles on it, and then writing your wishes on them. They are then placed in the Jiuyue Lake under the Jiuyue Bridge. The lanterns will float to the other side, representing that everything will go well.

"Let's go buy a lantern!"

Jin Suting really liked the lanterns sold by these small vendors and thought they were both interesting and beautiful. They put pens and paper on the carts they pushed, and after choosing a lantern, they could write down their wishes and put them on it.

Not only were there people selling lanterns, but there were also people selling flowers at the Flower Festival. The one who called Helan Ruizhe was an old woman. She saw Jin Suting buying a lantern, so she walked over to Helan Ruizhe and said, "Sir, would you like to buy a flower for the young lady?"

Jin Suting turned around and saw a particularly beautiful flower in the basket carried by the flower vendor. It looked as if she had seen it somewhere before. Her eyes sparkled under the mask. She pointed at the flower and said, "Old lady, your flower is so beautiful. What kind of flower is it?"

The old woman smiled and said, "This is called a twin flower. It's also called a two-flowered flower. They have two flowers on one stem, and they bloom at noon on the softest day in early summer. Do you like it, young lady?"

It turned out to be twin flowers. Jin Suting suddenly realized it and pointed at the mask on her face and said, "The mask I'm wearing also has twin flowers engraved on it."

"I like it very much. Why don't we put this in the lantern later?" She turned and said to Helan Ruizhe.

"Whatever you like." When Helan Ruizhe was about to take out the silver, he was stopped by the old woman.

The old woman asked, "Are you two husband and wife?"

Just as Jin Suting was about to say no, Helan Ruizhe quickly responded, "We are husband and wife."

As she spoke, she pulled Jin Suting closer to her. The old woman's smile faded when she heard them say that. She pushed the twin flowers deeper into the basket and said, "These flowers can't be sold to couples. I don't sell them to couples. Can you two take a look at some other ones?"

"Why not sell them?" Jin Suting thought, this is really a strange old woman, if she doesn't want to sell them to couples, why would she come to the flower festival to sell flowers? Everyone on the street is in pairs.

Jin Suting wanted to explain to her mother-in-law the relationship between her and Helan Ruizhe. They were engaged, and she really liked the flower. "Well, actually, we're not..."

"Is this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Helan Yinsheng's terrifying voice interrupted Jin Suting's explanation. When the flower-selling mother-in-law heard that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she suddenly became agile and ran away.
