Song Jinglan lowered his eyes slightly, and said warmly: “The princess has sent enough. I am not lacking in anything.”
What a sensible and contented child.
Song Jinglan: “?”
Did he just see a flash of maternal love-like pity in this little girl’s eyes?
Fortunately, Lin Zhanyuan, who slipped and yelled all the way behind him, interrupted the odd atmosphere. He ran over hugging his basin, clapping his hands and happily said, “My sister is so stupid! My sister fell!”
Lin Feilu stuck out her tongue, “Neh neh neh.”
Seeing Song Jinglan looking at Lin Zhanyuan, she introduced with a smile, “His Royal Highness, this is my brother. His name is Lin Zhanyuan.”
She then turned towards Lin Zhanyuan and said, “Big Brother, this is His Highness the Seventh.”
Lin Zhanyuan blinked, looked at Song Jinglan, and suddenly shouted happily, “Little Brother!”
Song Jinglan raised his eyebrows with a smile. Lin Feilu corrected him, “Not Little Brother, it’s His Royal Highness the Seventh.”
Lin Zhanyuan pointed to himself, “Six.” Then pointed to Song Jinglan, “Seven.”
He clapped his hands merrily and exclaimed, “Seventh Brother!”
Song Jinglan laughed and said to Lin Feilu, “Your Big brother is very cute.”
Lin Feilu tilted her head mischievously. She smiled and asked, “Then does your Royal Highness think, my brother is cuter, or I am cuter?”
Unexpectedly, Song Jinglan replied calmly: “The fifth princess is the cutest.”
She intended to embarrass Song Jinglan, but she felt like it backfired on her.
Lin Zhanyuan tugged at the corners of her clothes excitedly, “Skiing! Skiing!”
Song Jinglan stood up with a smile and said warmly, “Go and play. Be careful and don’t fall again, Fifth princess.”
Lin Feilu waved her hand contentedly after admiring the angelic face up close.
The two played until noon and only ended their skiing adventure when Qingyan came to summon them to eat. Early in the next morning, while Lin Feilu was still asleep, she was awakened by Lin Zhanyuan again, who was holding rice paper with his name on it.
She covered her head in agony, “Big Brother! This agreement has expired! It’s useless to write your name, you have to learn new words!”
Lin Zhanyuan: “I don’t care! Skiing! Skiing!”
Lin Feilu: I suddenly realize the bitterness of raising a child.
At the beginning of the new year, everything was summarized and started afresh. The personnel of the six ministries were replaced and the projects from last year were reported in. Emperor Lin became busy again after only a few days of rest. After all, he was an emperor who wanted to leave a legacy and he was very conscientious in political affairs. Even if he was an emperor, he was very strict with himself.
Ever since he met the Fifth Princess in Meiyuan that night on New Year’s Eve, he never had a chance to see her again.
After all, he still had reservations about Xiao Lan and Lin Zhanyuan in his heart, he always changed his mind about visiting Mingyue Palace at the thought that he would see them there. He was also very busy and it was not a good idea to summon the Little Dumpling over. She would be uncomfortable after she found out about his identity and would probably cry in fright if she was summoned out of the blue.
On this day, the Crown Prince had come to greet him at Yangxin Palace. Emperor Lin casually asked him a few questions about his schoolwork before he suddenly noticed the delicate sachet on his waist.
The Emperor Lin remembered that the Crown Prince had told him that it was given by the Fifth Sister.
He asked nonchalantly, “Why are you always wearing this sachet?”
Lin Qing could not fathom how the topic had suddenly changed from his homework to the sachet, but he replied in a respectful tone. “I love the embroidery and the fragrance of this sachet very much, so I wear it every day.”
