It seems that her current body is also sixteen years old. What birthday gift would a sixteen-year-old girl want?
When she was sixteen, what did she want most?
It’s been too long, I can’t remember it, I need to think about it carefully.
However, the sixteen years she experienced were in the 21st century, while Helan Minzhi grew up in Funing. The education she received, the cultural environment, and the things she was exposed to since childhood were all different.
Is what she wants what Helan Minzhi wants?
It seemed unreliable, so Jin Suting discussed it with Xiao Hei and the others, but there was still no good result.
When the four of them were sitting around the stone table in Suxuan Courtyard, looking at each other in silence, Helan Ruizhe came over.
"Your Highness."
The three of them saluted in unison, and Jin Suting looked at the person who came over with a helpless look on her face.
"I see you are having a lively discussion. What are you talking about?" Helan Ruizhe asked.
"It's nothing, actually," Jin Suting frowned. "Princess Helan's birthday is coming up in a few days, and the Queen Mother has issued an imperial decree to invite all the noble ladies in the city, including me."
Qin'er, Xiaohei and Caocao nodded symbolically, cooperating with Jin Suting to express that she was really concerned about this matter.
"So you are discussing what birthday gift to give her?" Helan Ruizhe was indeed a worm in Jin Suting's stomach. He guessed what she was worried about at once.
"Do you have any ideas?" Jin Suting nodded and asked him for help.
If the difficulty of things in the world were divided into levels, for Jin Suting, deciding what gift to give to someone on their birthday would definitely be an SSR-level extremely difficult task.
She has to worry about what is the most appropriate gift, whether the other person will like it, and whether the other person will have a bad opinion of her gift, which will directly lead to her disliking her as a person.
She was not like this before, she would transfer money directly and efficiently.
But now that she is so poor, she can't give a box of silver to the princess...
"Don't worry too much about it, just pick a piece of jewelry for her." Helan Ruizhe thought carefully and answered, "The princess' birthday isn't as grand as the queen mother's birthday, so gifts won't be displayed one by one. They'll just be registered and recorded. Don't worry too much about it."
How could I not care? They are Helan Ruizhe's family.
Jin Suting didn't notice the three people behind her slipping away in unison. She muttered quietly, "Is this jewelry reliable? What kind of jewelry would the princess like?"
"Yoo Seung-ho said that girls like things that are flashier, the better," Helan Ruizhe said. "But why the sudden birthday party? I don't remember Helan Minzhi's birthdays being this grand before."
Even her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen was held in a small royal family banquet with only the Queen Mother, Helan Ruizhe, Helan Yinsheng and Helan Minzhi himself present.
How come this time not only did they hold a banquet, but they also invited all the noble ladies in the city.
"What's so strange about this? Maybe the Queen Mother is just old and likes to be in a lively environment." Jin Suting thought of what the old general had said to her about this matter, and felt that these two grown men were too sensitive.
Would the Queen Mother like to be lively?
Helan Ruizhe didn't want her to think too much, so he nodded in agreement and changed the subject: "Have you thought of a gift?"
"No, I'll go to the store tomorrow and see if there's any jewelry that's both beautiful and affordable for me."
Jin Suting shook her head, sat down again on the stone bench, stared blankly at the pen and paper on the stone table that looked like scribbles, and fell into deep thought.
"What are you writing?" Helan Ruizhe was also attracted by the black ink scribbles and found them funny.
Jin Suting lay weakly on the table and said in a muffled voice, "Don't laugh at me. This is a gift that Qin Er and I thought about for a long time and came up with. It's a relatively reliable one, not expensive and not frivolous."
It’s beautiful and affordable, not expensive and not frivolous.
What are these two sentences hinting at?
"Are you short of money recently?"
Helan Ruizhe actually doesn't mind supporting Jin Suting.
"I'm not really short of money."
Although Helan Ruizhe is very rich, Jin Suting is not the kind of person who relies on her boyfriend for support! She is an independent woman and she wants to be self-reliant!
"I just think giving expensive things is a bit too vulgar."
"I think jewelry and the like are not very suitable."
The gift that Jin Suting sends must be pure and untainted, pure and innocent, and can be admired from afar but not played with!
How could it have such a profound connection with something as mundane as silver?
Helan Ruizhe looked at the items written on the paper, which were all low-cost and high-workload items, and knew that she must have little money but was still holding on.
"If you need anything, tell me and we can share it together."
These words were indeed heartwarming and moved her, but the independent woman Jin Suting still heard a hint of sympathy.
Even though her boyfriend is the crown prince of the current dynasty, rich enough to rival a country, and his family is extremely wealthy, she still has to complete this gift independently and on her own.
After all, it's a token of affection. If you buy something without putting your heart into it, it's not good. She's never given anyone an expensive birthday gift since she was little. She feels it's more sincere to give something with money or make it herself.
"Oh, no need," Jin Suting said, "I think it would be more sincere if I made it myself. Oh, by the way, isn't Princess Minzhi your sister? You should know what she likes, right? Tell me quickly, besides jewelry, what other types of birthday gifts does she like?"
Helan Ruizhe shook his head and said, "I really don't know about that."
