High Grade Green Tea Transmigrates into a Pitiful Little Girl - Chapter 11

Still standing on the tree, Lin Jingyuan looked down and saw a little girl standing next to the palace maid. She wore red clothes, her hair was tied with a cute hairpin, and her skin was white as snow.
　　
She stood quietly under the tree and secretly glanced up. When her puppy eyes met his, she smiled timidly and shyly bowed her head.
　　
Lin Jingyuan jumped down from the tree and put on a dignified look as he sized her up. “Who are you?”
　　
She replied with a soft voice, “My name is Xiaolu.”
　　
The eunuch next to him reminded, “Fourth Prince, this is the Fifth Princess.”
　　
The Emperor didn’t care about her, and she was rarely mentioned in the palace. Lin Jingyuan was also a person who didn’t take things seriously. He had only been in contact with the Eldest Princess and the Third Princess, he had never heard of the Fifth Princess before.
　　
He raised his eyebrows, “Then you are my Royal Sister? What are you hiding there for?”
　　
Lin Feilu stole a glance upwards, peeking at the red persimmon in his hand. She pursed her lips and swallowed her saliva, then hesitatingly whispered, “I want to eat persimmons.”
　　
After she finished speaking, she half raised her eyes and looked at him. She asked timidly, “Can I?”
　　
Her long and dense eyelashes were lined with a pair of watery eyes. It was like a layer of mist that invoked people’s pity.
　　
Lin Jingyuan immediately folded, and boldly waved his hand. “Of course you can! What can you not do!” He told the eunuch beside him, “Give her all the persimmons I just picked!”
　　
The eunuch quickly handed over the bamboo basket.
　　
Lin Feilu’s eyes lit up and a happy smile bloomed on her pretty face. She reached out to pick it up, but staggered because the bamboo basket was too heavy.
　　
Lin Jingyuan quickly reacted and held it back with his hands. He said displeasedly, “Get your maid to take it.”
　　
Qing Yan had been on her knees ever since they arrived, afraid of offending the Fourth Prince. She had never thought things would turn out this way. She immediately took the bamboo basket and stepped to the side.
　　
Lin Feilu put her hands together behind her back, tilted her head and smiled sweetly at Lin Jingyuan. The autumn sun spilled through the red persimmons, as if filling her dimples with sweetness and warmth. “Thank you, little big brother.”
　　
Lin Jingyuan was a little embarrassed by her smile.
　　
Of the sisters he was used to, the Eldest Sister was cunning and arrogant, and the Third Sister was rude and unreasonable. In addition, his mother Consort Xian did not go along well with the Eldest Sister’s mother, Consort Hui. He actually disliked his eldest sister, and her little minion Third Sister even more.
　　
But the Fifth Princess he never met before was completely different. She was gentle and fragile. Her smile was cute and beautiful. She wanted to eat persimmons but was scared. This little man’s desire to protect was thoroughly roused.
　　
Lin Feilu looked like she just remembered something, and she took out from her chest a begonia flower that she just picked from the royal garden. Earnestly, she handed it over, “Mother Consort said that it’s impolite to not return a favor. Brother gave me a persimmon, so I will give you this twin petaled begonia flower. A twin petaled begonia flower signifies luck, it’s very rare.“
　　
She gave the begonia flower a reluctant look, then resolutely put it into Lin Jingyuan’s hands.
　　
The flower was held in her chest for a while, so the petals were dyed by her body temperature. When they were placed in his palms, they felt soft and warm.
　　
Lin Jingyuan blushed up to his ears.
　　
She’s the cutest thing in the world! She actually gave me such a rare lucky flower. She was obviously very reluctant, but she didn’t hesitate at all!
　　
Lin Feilu waved at him after giving the flowers and said sweetly, “Goodbye, big brother.”
　　
Lin Feilu followed Qing Yan outside. When she reached the archway, she secretly turned her head back and smiled at Lin Jingyuan from a distance.
　　
Under the autumn sun that day in the courtyard of red persimmons, her smile was three parts shy and seven parts cute. His heart felt like it was melting away.
　　
After they finally left far from the garden, Qing Yan who was bathed in cold sweat finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the persimmons in her hand and at the little princess who acted like she had nothing to do with it. She couldn’t help but ask, “Princess, does the twin petaled begonia really signify luck? Why haven’t this servant heard of it before?”
　　
Lin Feilu just smiled and did not answer.
　　
Of course you’ve never heard about it, she was just spouting random nonsense!
