Little Ruo Yi.

I am going to tell you a story from a long time ago, back when Ruo-er was ten years old.

It was the beginning of the summer and Ruo Yi had a stomachache, so her tutors gave her a day off from lessons. It wasn't that serious but her nanny exaggerated a bit and the situation got a bit out of control, that's why everyone in the mansion was gossiping that the young lady was seriously ill. These rumours also reached her father's ears. He immediately decided to visit her daughter to check her condition. As she was taking advantage of these rumours to gain more free time, Ruo-er turned the gossip into reality by eating a mushroom that can cause diarrhea and fever. This child was very smart, so she did it because she already had the antidote for this problem. It was a piece of cake for her to get rid of the bad symptoms. The minister visited her together with the family's doctor and confirmed what the others were saying. "This kind of discomfort will disappear after some rest and good medication, it's nothing severe", said the doctor. Her father breathed a sigh of relief and told her maids and tutors to postpone all the young lady's activities for the entire week.

She succeeded, her plan was perfect! Ruo-er took advantage of her nanny's bustle and worsened her condition on purpose just to obtain some days off from studying. She ordered the maids not to step into her room and to leave the food at the door. After she took the antidote and her body became healthy again, she sneaked out on one of her room's windows and ran to the nearby forest where many unexploded things were waiting for her. She was returning home only at the hours when the maids had to bring her food. No one noticed a thing.

In one of these days Ruo-er found a nice river in the eastern part of the forest, so she decided to take a bath. Unexpectedly someone stole her clothes. When she searched for them in the place where she left them, the place was empty. The little girl was desperate. How can she return home like this? What if someone sees her *****?

She wrapped herself in big leaves and started to search around the bushes again, thinking that maybe she putted them in a different place.

"How can I be so clumsy, how can I forget where I left my clothes? "

After minutes of desperate searches, a laughter resounded from above, a boy's laughter.

Ruo-er screams as loud as she can and looks up at the nearby trees. Up on a branch a boy about her age or maybe a bit older was comfortably sitting with her clothes under his head.

"What a nice pillow!"

"You..., are you human or devil? You give my clothes back right now or I'll shoot you! Do you hear me, get down jerk!"

"No way! I am sleeping too well up here! Be quiet girl! Humph...countryside girls are so mannerless. Who told you to scream so loud? Uncultured countryside pumpkin!"

"Countryside pumpkin? Uncultured? Who me? Who the hell do you think you are you thief? You stole my clothes and still have the guts to call me mannerless! Get down you pervert or I will shoot you with my sling , I want my clothes back!"

"Shut up girl! All the things in this country are the emperor's possessions, including you. Of course I can use what's mine as I please. Now be quiet, I want to sleep."

"Hey, who do you think you are, the emperor? You're just a thief! Or devil..."

She threw some stones toward the tree but they missed the target. Into an end Ruo Yi gave up and returned home without her clothes.

When she left the boy turned his head to look at the girl that was running toward the forest. On her tiny back he noticed a cute birth sign, a pink lotus flower.

"Hmmm...silly girl! One day you will kneel in front of me. Let's see then what face are you going to make!"

Ruo-er gets back home safely and unnoticed by any servant or guard. That was a hell of a day!
