It was still winter, and the temperature on this mountainside was even lower. If he slept in the corridor, he would freeze to death by tomorrow morning.
He glared at Lin Jingyuan who was still mocking him arrogantly, then rolled up the bedding rolls in his arms and walked out aggressively. Lin Jingyuan laughed wildly, “Leave the beddings for me!”
Xi Xingjiang turned his head and said viciously, “Get it yourself!”
Lin Feilu wanted to laugh too, but seeing that he actually just wanted to protect her, she maintained a neutral face, and waved at him, “Be careful, Viscount.”
“…”
His usual arrogant back revealed a few touches of embarrassment at this moment.
As soon as he left, Lin Jingyuan smacked the table in the room and cackled wildly for five minutes. Finally, Lin Feilu asked, “Brother Jingyuan, was the Lady that was mentioned earlier Noble Consort Xi?”
Lin Jingyuan laughed in reply, “Who else could put Xi Xingjiang in his place?”
Lin Feilu recalled the message relayed by the eunuch earlier, and felt that Noble Consort Xi, whom she had never met before, was strangely interesting.
Lin Jingyuan was still roaring about Xi Xingjiang’s humiliation, then he heard Lin Feilu, “Fourth Brother, you should go back too, otherwise Consort Xian will send someone for you later.”
“…”
He immediately stopped laughing.
Lin Jingyuan left after a cup of tea looking dejected but instructed Kang An to stay and wait outside with Kong Fu and the others.
The medicine Lin Feilu drank contained the ingredients to calm the nerves and aid in sleeping, so she was already drowsy a long time ago. As soon as the two children left, she prepared to sleep but another palace official came knocking on the door. Song Yu and Kong Fu went to receive the messenger together, and came back reporting, “The Eldest Prince and the Crown Prince sent someone over to watch the night with the rest of the servants.”
Lin Feilu considered that if she was to travel back into her original timeline in the future, she might be able to write a novel titled “The Days When I was Doted by the Three Prince Brothers.”
With the heavy guardianship of the imperial army and the palace servants, Lin Feilu had a deep, dreamless sleep. The next day when Song Yu was helping her to freshen up, Lin Nianzhi’s personal maid servant Bao You came over with a bowl of hot porridge made with some beneficial ingredient to moisturize her throat, which carried a faint smell of medicine.
Bao You smiled and explained, “The Eldest Princess asked this servant to make this porridge before dawn broke. It has been cooked for four hours, Fifth Princess should eat it while it’s hot.”
She added embarrassingly, “The Eldest Princess asked the servants to pass on the message to the Fifth Princess. Consort Hui is very strict and it’s not convenient for her to come and see you, so you should take care of yourself.”
Lin Feilu nodded earnestly, and thanked the Eldest Sister Princess obediently. After breakfast, she headed to Zhonghe Hall to greet Emperor Lin. Her sense of presence with Emperor Lin had greatly increased, and she could no longer skip morning greetings like she did before.
She saw Lin Ting outside the hall, who had also come for his morning greeting. She hopped excitedly and waved at him from a distance.
Lin Ting smiled and stood there waiting for her. He asked softly when she approached, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Lin Feilu smiled and nodded, and said in a low voice, “Eldest Brother, Noble Consort Ruan didn’t come to the trip together this time.”
There was a sharp and sly look in her eyes, and Lin Ting could not help but smile, “So?”
There was still a trace of hoarseness in her yet to be fully recovered voice, but there was definite excitement in it, “We can go to the mountain to look for small animals to play with! I heard that there are small foxes on this mountain.”
Lin Ting was instantly filled with warmth, and adjusted Lin Feilu’s adorable bangs, and replied “Okay.”
