Lin Jingyuan retorted loudly, “How can I be angry with you! Why would I get angry over this?!” He said in a heated voice, “You have never seen our Royal Father since you were born, and you don’t even look like him. I know, you always listen to us talk about him everyday, of course it’s excusable that you want to see him!”
After he finished speaking, he scratched his head again and could not help but to keep asking, “How exactly did you meet Father? What did you say?”
Lin Feilu’s eyelashes were wet, tears were dripping as she said seriously, “I was hiding in a tree in the plum garden. I just wanted to take a peek at Father, but I didn’t expect to be discovered by him.”
Lin Jingyuan: “How can you climb a tree! How dangerous!”
Lin Feilu omitted some parts of her plan and told him the story.
After Lin Jingyuan heard this, he was in disbelief, “So when you met with Father, you told him that you wanted to taste the Great Reunion Banquet?”
Lin Feilu: “Yes.”
Lin Jingyuan looked at her in heated puzzlement, “Silly! If you have the opportunity to see Father, why did you ask for food? You should ask to be given the right to go to school!”
He looked at his silly sister with sorrow, “You just wasted your chance!”

When Emperor Lin made any movements, his actions would be watched by everyone in the Imperial Harem. Since Mingyue Palace had received the Great Reunion Banquet as a reward, the circumstances around Xiao Lan had changed.
Although no one offered their friendship, at least now no one was antagonistic towards her. Before, the fifth princess was only given respect in the presence of the imperial princes, but now everyone would properly treat her as an imperial princess.
Feeling the change of circumstances in the Imperial Palace, Lin Feilu still remained as calm as usual. Not everything can be rushed. She was not worried about never meeting Emperor Lin again. In fact, she deliberately did what she had done when they first met. Everything will fall into place eventually.
She also had something else to do, which was to teach Lin Zhanyuan how to write and read.
He was always a thorn in the heart of Emperor Lin. Both father and son would definitely meet each other in the future. She will not expect Emperor Lin to like his foolish son, but at least she hopes that he would not despise her brother as much as before. After all, Lin Zhanyuan will grow up, and it would be impossible for him to live under the protection of Xiao Lan and herself for a lifetime. She hoped that he could be a little more independent and self-reliant.
Lin Zhanyuan was illiterate, and Xiao Lan had never taught him. At first, when Lin Feilu taught him, he was reluctant to learn.
Mentally, he was only three or four years old. He only wanted to play, of course he was reluctant to read and write. Lin Feilu taught him for two days, and felt she could now empathise with a kindergarten teacher’s feelings of helplessness.
First, I’ll pretend to be angry, then I’ll ignore my brother if he doesn’t study!
This is intimidation.
Later, I’ll say that as long as Brother can write his name, I’ll teach him how to ride a snow sled.
This is a temptation.
Under her guidance, Lin Zhanyuan finally made some progress. Early in the morning, he brought a rice paper with his name on it and ran to his sister’s room and dragged her out of her warm bed, “Name! Snow sled!”
So Lin Feilu brought Lin Zhanyuan along, carrying a basin, and came to a place she had chosen long ago.
