Don't be fooled by the fact that the princess is living a good life now, with three men revolving around her and her ability to tolerate possessiveness and share her with others. In fact, before Lan Youxin and the crown prince were both alive, this princess's love life was not so smooth.
To put it another way, it was bumpy and difficult.
At that time, Helan was sixteen or seventeen years old, in the prime of her youth. Although she was not the eldest princess, she had grown up pampered and spoiled in the palace.
The first person she met was Li Yi. At that time, Li Yi's father was not the Minister of War, but a Vice Minister.
But Li Yi stood out. He was good-looking and his martial arts skills were among the best of the younger generation. His polo skills on the field immediately captured Princess Helan's heart.
As a young girl, Helan didn't want to be the emperor; she felt she was incredibly lucky.
Young girl, your brother is the emperor, and the Great Yan is strong and powerful. Not to mention other countries daring to come and attack Great Yan, even if someone wants to form a marriage alliance with her, your brother will have to take action.
Therefore, this kind of woman destined for greatness knows nothing of setbacks. At that time, although it was not an official rule that the son-in-law could not hold power, everyone in the capital's elite circles knew that the son-in-law was not destined for a high-ranking position.
"Young Master Li, here you go."
This was the third month that Yuwen Helan had gone to see Li Yi practice his skills at the training ground every day without fail, rain or shine. Whenever Li Yi finished training, Helan would thoughtfully bring him a pot of tea, which was icy cold and very thirst-quenching, along with a handkerchief with a faint fragrance.
Li Yi was about three years older than Helan. By this time, Li Yi already knew what he wanted, and his ideals and ambitions could not be hindered by the position of imperial son-in-law.
Therefore, he rejected Helan many times.
To be honest, Li Yi wasn't wrong either.
To realize his life's value, he couldn't become a prince consort, but the most important thing at the time was that Li Yi didn't like Helan.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but it's not necessary."
The man sheathed his weapon and walked towards the gate of the training ground. The young girl, Helan, visibly dimmed in the eyes. A palace maid beside her, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up for her:
"It's a favor that our princess has taken a liking to him, how dare he?..."
"You can't say that."
Helan interrupted the maid's words.
She herself understands that liking someone requires mutual affection.
She didn't want to find a man like her own brother; she felt that an enviable, perfect couple should be like her nephew and his wife.
Well, Helan is not old, but she is of a high generation. In the palace, even the Crown Prince would have to call her aunt.
“It’s okay, I can wait for him. There’s no rush. Anyway, he doesn’t have anyone he likes.”
Anyway, he has no one in his heart, but I have him in mine. I'll slowly work things out, and that day will come eventually.
A woman destined for greatness, she is very confident.
But that confidence was shattered on that day.
As usual, she would go to see Li Yi whenever she missed him, but only to glance at him from afar without disturbing him.
Li Yi's friends all knew that Princess Helan was in love with him, and they often teased her about it.
"Is our young master Li going to be a prince consort? Look how infatuated Princess Helan is with him."
The man frowned slightly. These words made him very uncomfortable. First, it made him seem like a gigolo. Second, a woman's reputation is very important. Even though Helan was interested in him, the two of them had always kept their distance.
Even when Helan came to find him, they always spoke from a distance.
"Given the princess's reputation, you would be wise to keep your mouth shut."
Helan lifted the curtain of the carriage window and peered at him. The young girl felt happy just looking at the man she loved.
How can he be so good-looking?
Today, Li Yiyuan's cousin happened to come to visit. The wealthy family didn't seem to have any intention of welcoming the bride, but the two of them had grown up together since childhood and were no different from siblings. So when Li Yiyuan's cousin got out of the car, she rushed straight to her brother.
"cousin!"
The man caught the girl and smiled brightly at her.
This scene, when witnessed by Helan, felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles.
The girl forcefully pulled down the carriage curtain and then gave the order:
"Return to the palace."
The carriage wheels creaked and groaned, then disappeared from sight after a while.
Li Yi glanced in Helan's direction a few times; this time, she seemed to be spending less time there than usual.
Take Li Yi and his cousin for example, they are both truly innocent.
His cousin is already engaged, but the two siblings have a very good relationship.
It's not the kind of close, brotherly relationship; it's the kind of relationship where you're so familiar with each other that it's almost shameless.
"Brother, look, my fiancé brought me some snacks for the journey, there are still some crumbs left, do you want some?"
The man countered with a question:
"Your fiancé would actually be interested in you? Is he blind?"
This is how the two of them get along; there's nothing disgusting about it like that between cousins.
After Helan returned to the palace, she lay on the bed and cried. She cried so pitifully that she locked herself in the palace and refused to eat. When the Empress heard the news, she was annoyed for a long time. There were no peers of her age in the palace, and there were few people of similar age. Helpless, the Empress could only ask her daughter-in-law to persuade her.
Lan Youxin is a bit cheeky. No wonder Cen Ang likes Huo Xiaolong so much. They both have the same way of showing up whenever something happens.
“Alright, Mother, I’ll go see my aunt right now.”
This means: No problem, grandma, I'll take some people to see the excitement right now.
Lan Youxin took Cen Ang and Hua Luan there, and when they arrived, they found Yuwen Helan smashing a bowl and crying, saying:
"I won't eat it! I won't eat it!"
After teasing Lan Youxin, Cen Anghua and Luan imitated her, saying:
"I won't eat it! I won't eat it!"
"Your Highness, please keep your voice down, lest the princess hear you."
"So what if she heard that? She doesn't even try to win over the person she likes. Instead, she debases herself here, making those around her feel sorry for her. And she still thinks she's polite?"
Hearing the commotion outside, Yuwen Helan knew who had arrived.
Actually, she and Lan Youxin didn't have a good relationship; the two of them would argue whenever they met.
So you, Yuwen Helan, are the chosen one?
Am I Lan Youxin?
My father is the King of the Southwest.
I've been practicing martial arts since elementary school, I've been on the battlefield and killed people, and as for my looks, needless to say, she's second to none in the Great Yan Kingdom.
See, isn't this awkward?
Therefore, Yuwen Helan never cared about Lan Youxin, but that only meant he didn't care about their squabbles; he never tried to frame or anything like that.
They're a princess and a crown princess, they're already living such good lives, they don't have time for all this nonsense.
"Lan Youxin! I'll tear your mouth apart sooner or later!"
Yuwen Helan stopped crying, opened the door with red eyes, and said fiercely to the Crown Princess.
"Oh my, you're quite something! Not bad this time, you're better than Big Blackie in my backyard. You didn't even clean Little Pearl properly. Do you want your niece-in-law to clean it for you?"
Hearing this, the young girl Helan cried even harder.
"Lan Youxin, you're so mean, waaaaaah!"
Hahahahahaha.
One was crying and the other was laughing. Separated by a threshold, Cen Ang and Hua Luan were trying hard to hold back their laughter, their faces turning red.
The Crown Princess is a bit infuriating, but she's effective; Princess Helan will probably stop crying after she finishes.
