Chapter 242
Lin Nianzhi stiffened.
She was still so young, but she already knew that there was a clear distinction between the innocent and the guilty. What’s more was that Lin Nianzhi belonged to the perpetrator’s side, so what kind of innocence was she trying to feign when the Little Fifth Princess approached her with nothing but pure intentions?
She should be able to have a deeper understanding of the concept that the Little Fifth Princess understood.
Lin Nianzhi suddenly felt ashamed of her grievances and anger during this period of time.
She held the little girl’s hand that remained tugging the cuffs of her clothes and walked together towards Yaohua Palace.
Before Lin Feilu could react, she followed her footsteps in a daze and whispered, “Eldest Imperial Sister?”
Lin Nianzhi pretended to be nonchalant,”The weather is really hot, so let’s go to my palace and have some sour plum soup before heading back.”
As soon as she spoke about eating, Lin Feilu immediately became notably happier and nodded, “Mm!”
She followed her pace, holding Lin Nianzhi’s fingers with her small hands.
Lin Nianzhi felt that her little hand was soft, which in turn, was making her heart melt out of cuteness as well.
When Lin Feilu finished drinking the sour plum soup and left the Yaohua Palace contentedly, the then blazing sun was now hidden behind the thick clouds, forming shadows on the ground. She walked to the big tree and glanced back at the gorgeous palace behind her.
The fault lies not with parents, nor should the consequences befall the spouses or children. As long as Lin Nianzhi chose not to go against her, this sisterhood they shared was still salvageable.
Fortunately, although Lin Nianzhi had a stubborn personality, she was not bad-hearted and knew how to distinguish between right from wrong.
She genuinely was starting to adore this beautiful and bright young lady a little bit more.
The summer wind blew the white clouds and the sun seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with her. Lin Feilu was in a good mood, stepping on the shadows as she played all the way back home. In summer, the plants in the Imperial Palace were very luxuriant and the coverage of the greenery was very high. Lin Feilu thought that Emperor Lin should be awarded an award for being a sanitation expert.
When walking through the pathway that was hidden by flowers and plants, someone suddenly rushed out of the bushes next to her and slammed into her lap.
In this palace, Lin Feilu was recognized as the second shortest person but there was another one who was shorter than her already tiny stature.
She had always felt that this body was stunted by malnutrition in the past. It was unreasonable for her to know that her height hadn’t even surpassed the height of a man’s legs when she was already at a ripe age of six!
But the person who crashed into her suddenly was shorter than Lin Feilu.
Her head was about up to her waist as her hair was combed into a neat bun. Because she couldn’t stand firmly, she hugged on to Lin Feilu to stabilise her staggering body before she raised her head to ‘hush’ twice at her.
Someone that is actually shorter than me has appeared!!!
Lin Feilu got a little too excited.
She hushed back cooperatively and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
The little child said, “I’m hiding from Xiaqing!”
Lin Feilu asked again, “Who is Xiaqing?”
The little child replied, “My maidservant!”
Lin Feilu, “Then who are you?”
The little girl pouted, “I’m Weiwei!”
Weiwei? Lin Feilu then realised that before her was the youngest princess in the palace— Imperial Concubine Su’s daughter, the 6th Imperial Princess, Lin Wei.
No wonder she was shorter than me— a mere baby who was about 2 or 3 years old would naturally be shorter than my height.
