He is also the boy she likes. He was born into a family of high-ranking officials, has a strict grandfather and sister, and like her, he has no mother. His name is Yu Seung-ho.
She likes to call him Brother Ah Hao.
Let’s first talk about their first meeting.
At that time, Helan Minzhi was eight years old and Yu Seung-ho was ten years old.
Because of Helan Ruizhe's birthday party, Yu Seung-ho was invited to the palace to celebrate his birthday.
Many young men and women from Funing came, and naturally there were many children.
Yu Seung-ho was the most noisy among them, but Helan Minzhi was very well-behaved. She didn't play hide-and-seek, eagle-catches-chicken, or other games with the other children in the imperial garden.
Because they wouldn't take her with them. Who would like a lonely and quiet princess?
So she just squatted alone next to the rockery and watched the ants on the ground move.
I couldn't find those cunning kids who were hiding when playing hide-and-seek. I circled around several rockery hills for several times but didn't see anyone, so I simply gave up looking.
He stopped and found a small ball squatting on the ground. Oh no, it should be a little girl.
She was wearing gray clothes and looked a little dirty. She was squatting on the ground like a small ball, with no sense of existence at all.
"What are you doing?"
Out of kindness and curiosity towards the little girl, little Yu Seung-ho asked the question.
Helan Minzhi watched intently and did not agree.
Yu Seung-ho ran over again, squatted down to look at her, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Helan Minzhi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and was frightened. He stared at him intently, stunned for a while without saying a word.
It had been a long time since any child was willing to play with her, and she was a little uncomfortable when a little boy suddenly ran out.
"Are you watching ants moving?"
Yu Seung-ho finally noticed the neatly arranged group of black, humming ants on the ground, and said with a pout, "What's so good about this?"
"nice."
Helan Minzhi spoke, and her first words were a rebuttal.
"So you can talk."
Yu Seung-ho thought the little girl was a mute, and he was afraid that if he spoke to her suddenly, she would be scared.
Helan Minzhi did not respond to him, and remained as "aloof" as ever, continuing to look at the ants on the ground, batch after batch.
"My name is Yu Chenghao, and I'm the grandson of Grand Tutor Yu. What's your name?"
Helan Minzhi thought to himself, why hasn't this person left yet? Doesn't he have to go to eat?
She just saw that those who said they wanted to play hide-and-seek with him were called to eat, and she thought that this person named Yu Seung-ho was also going to eat.
But unexpectedly, it came to hinder her from watching the little ants.
"My name is Helan Minzhi." She still replied politely, so that Yu Chenghao would not be too embarrassed. Besides, her mother had taught her that this was the most basic courtesy and could not be ignored.
"Your last name is Helan?!"
Yoo Seung-ho, however, had heard some extremely scary story and his face was filled with shock.
"Yes, I am Helan Minzhi. Is there any problem?" It was the first time she spoke so many words.
"So you are the sister of Helan Ruizhe's legendary sister?!" Yu Seung-ho was even more shocked.
Legend? That word was truly hilarious. Helan Minzhi thought he would laugh at her identity like everyone else, so she simply stood up. Despite her small stature, every word she spoke was a pearl of wisdom: "I am Helan Minzhi. But I am Helan Minzhi, not anyone's sister, nor anyone's granddaughter. Are you satisfied with this?"
At that time, she was very resistant to this identity and wished that everything in front of her was an illusion. She woke up from her sleep and was back in the small house with her mother. Although it was very hard at that time, she was not laughed at or ridiculed by others.
"You, don't get excited first," Yu Seung-ho said embarrassedly, "I just think you are very good-looking." Unlike the Helan Minzhi they talked about, who was a monster.
After hearing this, Helan Minzhi was obviously surprised, and then his ears felt inexplicably hot.
Later she learned that this inexplicable emotion was called shyness.
In the end, Yu Seung-ho did not go to eat that day. Instead, he accompanied Helan Minzhi to watch ants for the whole afternoon and played hide-and-seek with her. He also taught her how to play hopscotch.
At that time, she thought that Yu Seung-ho was her first friend and her best friend.
When the recollection ended, Helan Minzhi still had a smile on his face.
She packed her clothes and told Aunt Ji that she was going to leave the palace and buy some clothes.
The luggage for the birthday party the day after tomorrow, Yu Seung-ho will definitely come the day after tomorrow.
Since her lover is coming, and this might be the last time they meet, she has to look beautiful and graceful to meet him and celebrate her sixteenth birthday.
Ji Ma Ma didn't say anything. She always let the princess do what she wanted. Her life was originally meaningless, and her life was originally not glorious. But with the princess's existence, she had the motivation to live. So, she supported whatever the princess wanted to do. Even if it meant going into the fire together, she was willing to do it.
Helan Minzhi didn't know many clothing shops, but he knew Miaoyifang, the most famous one in Funing City.
She didn't go shopping for clothes often, and it could be said that she rarely left the palace. So the people here didn't recognize her. The proprietress was happy to come over and greet the customer, but when she saw that her clothes were not so noble, her enthusiasm was greatly reduced.
"Young lady, do you want to have your clothes made or buy ready-made clothes?"
Helan Minzhi was wearing very ordinary clothes today. She felt that there was no need to be too ostentatious when leaving the palace, so she only brought Nanny Ji with her.
"I'll just take a look."
