High Grade Green Tea Transmigrates into a Pitiful Little Girl - Chapter 12
The persimmons in the bamboo basket were big, red, and very heavy. In previous years they couldnβt get so many persimmons, only occasionally picking one or two to relieve their craving. Many rules need to be followed in the palace. Someone in Xiao Lanβs situation especially needs to be careful about everything, lest people start gossiping just because of food.
γγ
But the persimmon they got today was a gift from the Fourth Prince. There were dozens of them. Not only could they eat to their heart’s content, but the persimmon skins can also be sun-dried and made into a cold salad. The ones they canβt finish can be made into dried persimmons for the little princess and the Sixth Princeβs snack.
Qing Yan didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with the princess today. Instead, she thought that the little princess was so cute; of course, any average person would adore her!
γγ
On the way back, they passed through a row of orange trees. Lin Feilu glanced at them and seemed like she suddenly remembered something. She stopped and said to Qing Yan, “I want to pick some oranges.”
γγ
Qing Yan said, “The oranges grown here are just for decoration. The fruits are very sour and inedible.”
γγ
Lin Feilu did not listen to her. “I want two.”
γγ
Qing Yan didn’t try to persuade her anymore; she went with her to pick a few small oranges. They were green and looked sour just from a glance. Lin Feilu wrapped the oranges and put them in her sleeves before returning to Mingyue Palace.
γγ
Xiao Lan and Yun You were still doing needlework in the yard. When they saw the basket of persimmons Qing Yan was carrying, their expressions instantly changed. But before they could scold her, Qing Yan was already happily telling them what happened.
γγ
Xiao Lan was a little surprised hearing what happened. She glanced at Lin Feilu, who was squatting in the yard, digging ant nests with Lin Zhanyuan. She didn’t think much about it and thought that the Fourth Prince was probably just in a good mood today, so he gave them the persimmons. She told Qing Yan to peel them for the two children to eat.
γγ
Lin Feilu sat on the door sill eating the sweet and soft persimmons bit by bit. She trained her gaze at the closed doors of the main hall on the other side. γγ
She heard Yun You talk to Xiao Lan just now that the people there still had not opened the door until now. Lin Feilu was very satisfied with the other party’s reaction. She only said that someone was on the tree and they got scared like this; it looked like her plan this time had gone in the right direction.
γγ
It was only in the afternoon that the gate of the main hall finally opened slowly. The evening sun shined over the courtyard and the bare pomegranate tree. Talented Xu walked out supported by Hong Xiu, she stole a glance at the pomegranate tree, then walked off in a hurry without another look.
γγ
Lin Feilu sat on the door sill and stared at her. Talented Xu glanced in her direction, feeling that the little girlβs gaze seemed to be looking at her, but also as if it was looking at something else. It was very bizarre.
γγ
She did not come back until evening. By that time, Lin Feilu had finished dinner and played a shadow-stepping game with Lin Zhanyuan in the yard.
γγ
As soon as Talented Xu came in, the two laughing children stopped playing. In Lin Zhanyuan’s eyes, a bad person appeared. His Mother Consort always told him to stay away from bad people, so he pulled his sister and ran inside.
γγ
But Lin Feilu didn’t move and just stood in place with a blank expression on her face, her eyes looking at Talented Xu unblinkingly.
γγ
Talented Xu became furious and walked closer in a huff to teach her a lesson. But when she got near, she realized that Lin Feilu wasnβt looking at her but behind her.
γγ
She abruptly turned her head around, but there was nothing behind.
γγ
When she turned her head back, she saw Lin Feilu shrink back in fear. Her big eyes were still staring at her back, showing undisguised fear.
γγ
Talented Xu suddenly felt very cold on her back, as she broke out in a cold sweat that caused her hair to stand on ends.
γγ
Hong Xiu also noticed it and boldly asked, “Fifth Princess, what are you looking at?”
γγ
Lin Feilu didn’t answer her this time. As if she was terrified, she turned around and pulled Lin Zhanyuanβs hand. She ran back to the side palace without turning her head back even once and closed the door with a bang.
γγ
Talented Xuβs feet went soft. There was nothing behind her, but she didn’t dare to look back anymore. Hong Xiu helped her walk around to the main hall, and she collapsed on the bed as soon as she entered her room.
