High Grade Green Tea Transmigrates into a Pitiful Little Girl - Chapter 15

Lin Feilu rubbed his head: “This is not for eating.”

Lin Zhanyuan was acting curiously just like a kid would, “If not for eating, what is it for?”

Lin Feilu took a piece of white paper, dipped the brush on the light-yellow orange juice in the bowl, and drew a smiling face on it. The white paper was soaked quickly, but nothing appeared. Lin Zhanyuan was watching eagerly. Lin Feilu took the white paper to the candle beside the bed and waved to him, “Come on, I’ll show you something fun. ”

Lin Zhanyuan happily ran over and watched his sister put the white paper close to the candle. As she slowly roasted it, a smiling face appeared on the blank paper.

He clapped his hands with joy. “Pictures! There are pictures!”

Xiao Lan walked in, carrying hot water and said while smiling, “Lu’er, don’t bring your brother to play with fire.”

Lin Feilu obediently nodded, tore the white paper into pieces, and threw it away together with the oranges.

After that day, Talented Xu fell ill and could not get up anymore. The maids and eunuchs in the main hall gradually got better, but her condition was getting worse and worse, sometimes she was even behaving a bit like a madman. Without Noble Consort Ruan’s protection, those with previous grievances against her started taking revenge, and her situation became worse than Xiao Lan’s.

Everyone in the palace said that it was her punishment for committing too many sins. Even Noble Consort Ruan was afraid that she would get implicated and secretly started copying Buddhist scriptures for a long time.

Without Talented Xu causing them trouble, life in the side palace finally improved. At least, they could get their full share of the stipend, and Lin Feilu could finally eat meat every day. It was just that after this incident, the rest of the palace also started avoiding Mingyue Palace. The palace that was already remote and desolate had fewer and fewer people coming.

Yun You was still a little worried about this. Everyone was saying that Mingyue Palace was unclean, so she was inevitably afraid. Xiao Lan reassured her, twisting her prayer beads as she said, “Do nothing bad and don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Be at ease.”

She was someone who liked quiet and had no desires. Her only wish was that her two children could grow up safely. This situation was exactly what she wanted. But for Lin Feilu, this was just killing a mob and warming up.

She counted the time and felt that the NPC, whose affection bar had been filled by one-third, should be coming soon.

Sure enough, what she was waiting for came within a few days when she was kicking a jianzi⁴ with Lin Zhanyuan in the yard. In the quiet afternoon, sounds of footsteps approaching came from outside the tattered palace walls, followed by a series of anxious shouts. “Fourth Prince! Your Highness! Don’t run away; please wait for this servant! You can’t go to that place!”

She only heard a pompous and displeased voice answering back, “Is there any place in this palace that This Prince can’t go to?”

The voice was already reaching near the door when the eunuch finally caught up with the master, pulling him and pleading. “Your Highness, you must not! This Mingyue Palace has an evil spirit. It’s bad luck. You must not go in! ”

Was Lin Jingyuan ever an obedient person? The more you said he couldn’t go, the more he wanted to go. He immediately opened the door with one hand and strode in.

Lin Feilu was still kicking the jianzi with Lin Zhanyuan.

The autumn sun was faint; when filtered by the clouds, only a thin layer of golden light remained. The little girl with small twintails on her head was wearing pink clothes. She was bathed in the light, kicking the jianzi with a sweet smile. Her petite figure jumped around, agile and cute.

Lin Jingyuan felt that he suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase “Calm as a maiden, swift as a hare⁵“.

He dissatisfied, scolded the eunuch, “My Fifth Royal Sister is like a little Goddess. Wherever she is, there’s an only celestial aura and not bad luck! If you dog slave keep talking nonsense, I won’t forgive you!”

Lin Feilu heard his voice and looked up. Her body that was moving agilely stopped in place, and the jianzi dropped to the floor. She tilted her head and looked at the door, her two hands twisted in front of her helplessly. Her big watery eyes looked delightfully surprised.

Lin Jingyuan walked in and happily shouted, “Xiao Lu.”

She pursed her lips embarrassedly and smiled, revealing her sweet dimples. It was as if she was thrilled that he still remembered her name. She watched him as he walked closer and picked up the shuttlecock. She then raised her face and sweetly called “Big Brother Jingyuan.”
