Emperor Lin laughed and said, “Yes, I missed my Little Fifth Princess. Did you miss Father Emperor?”
Lin Feilu blinked her eyes, “I do miss you, I miss you so much!” Then, she asked in a low voice, “Did Father Emperor bring me the roast chicken from the Imperial Kitchen I mentioned last time?”
The Emperor Lin laughed, his beard piercing her soft and squishy face,”You little girl, you always think about food. I think you don’t miss me at all; instead, you only miss my Imperial Kitchen.”
The little dumpling’s intentions were seen through as she immediately buried her head against his shoulder in embarrassment.
Once Emperor Lin toyed enough with the soft and chubby dumpling, he set her down. Glancing at the green grass, flowers and leaves all over the floor, he asked Xiao Lan, “What are these for?”
Xiao Lan lowered her eyes slightly. Her lips curled in a gentle arc and her voice was very pleasantly soft, “I am using these flowers and plants to make some small animals for the children to play with.”
Emperor Lin leaned over and took a grass rabbit and looked at it, feeling surprised, “I remember your dexterous skills,” He picked up the sachet that he hung around his waist, “This sachet is familiar to me when I first saw it, you embroidered it, didn’t you?”
Xiao Lan raised her eyes and glanced at the sachet. Her eyes showed a hint of surprise and she nodded, “Yes.”
Emperor Lin smiled and nodded, “I am wearing it very well.”
He didn’t mention at all the fact that he had snatched it from the Crown Prince.
Xiao Lan also smiled gently and Emperor Lin asked again, “I heard that you fell into the water and caught a cold not long ago. Is your body getting better?”
Xiao Lan replied, “Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I am all right now.” She paused, and looked up at the Emperor Lin with gentle eyes, “Thanks to the supplements that Your Majesty had sent over, this Honourable Lady recovered quickly.”
The current Xiao Lan made him feel more pleased and appeared more sensible than the Xiao Lan back then.
At the time, no matter how many rewards he granted her, Xiao Lan wouldn’t ever give him a gentle smile or a word of appreciation. Emperor Lin sometimes felt that she was a mere puppet with a beautiful appearance, but was without a soul.
However, she was gradually coming to life. Probably due to her new role as a mother, she now exudes a warm aura from her entire frame.
She even brought up the Little Fifth Princess so well. Furthermore, this stupid son had been unexpectedly well-behaved, too. Looking at her good looks, the 3-points favor and 7-points hesitation in Emperor Lin’s heart had now turned into 7-points favor and 3-points regret.
He changed his direction towards the room, “Come in and talk, don’t stand up all the time.”
Xiao Lan followed him into the house with the two children.
Although the quality of life of the Mingyue Palace was much higher than when Lin Feilu first transversed here, it was still a very remote and old palace after all. Although it was very clean, tidy and had a pleasant fragrance of flowers, Emperor Lin felt that the space was too simple and crude when he entered the room.
Thinking that the trio of the mother and her children who had to live in such an environment all these years, and the fact that this situation was caused by no one but himself, Emperor Lin felt slightly guilty in his heart.
