High Grade Green Tea Transmigrates into a Pitiful Little Girl - Chapter 19
It turns out that in addition to the Great Lin Dynasty located in the north, there was also the Song Empire situated in the south and the mostly nomadic Yong Kingdom. Together, they formed a situation similar to the Three Kingdoms.
ćć
Originally, the Song Empire was the most powerful country, thanks to the fertile and bountiful southern lands. Compared to the barren north and Yong Kingdom that lived on the vast prairies, they could be said to possess a natural advantage.
ćć
However, from wealth bred laziness. The successive Emperors of Song Dynasty became worse than their predecessors, relying on the abundant national treasury to drown themselves in decadent pleasure. The current generation’s Emperor was addicted to women, collecting beauties from all over the world and being universally known as a debaucherous Emperor.
ćć
A few years ago, Yong Kingdom wanted to join forces with the Song Empire to deal with the Great Lin Dynasty that was growing increasingly stronger and proposed marriage. But somehow the Great Lin Dynasty found out about it, and Emperor Lin was extremely angry.
ćć
The Great Lin Dynasty had always coveted the Song Dynasty’s wealth but did not have a good pretense to declare war. Moreover, the two countries were separated by the natural barrier that was the Huaihe River. Emperor Lin was also worried about the Song Dynasty’s many years of accumulation. The fight would not be easy if it devolved into a war of attrition, so he did not dare to send his troops rashly.
ćć
The Song Emperor understood this situation well. Fearing that Emperor Lin would fly into a rage and send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, he immediately rejected the Yong Kingdom. He also repeatedly sent his attendants to convey his determination to Emperor Lin and even sent a prince over to show his sincerity.
ćć
That prince was Song Jinglan.
ćć
Lin Jingyuan said that when he arrived at Great Lin Dynasty, he was only seven years old and was only accompanied by a small servant. Although he was a prince, he was also a tributary prince. His life in this palace would not be destitute, but it would not be easy either. Lin Jingyuan did not dare tell his little Royal Sister that he also used to bully Song Jinglan.
ćć
When Song Jinglan was studying in the Imperial Academy, the Grand Tutor always praised him. Meanwhile, Lin Jingyuan was the one who hated studying the most. Naturally, he didn’t like him, so he often splashed ink on his clothes and teased him with the other princes.
ćć
But Song Jinglan never got annoyed. He always seemed to be smiling, treating everyone with a friendly and humble attitude. Lin Jingyuan gradually found it boring and rarely bothered him anymore.
ćć
Lin Feilu listened to his background story and felt that this beautiful Lil’ big brother was very pitiful.
ćć
As expected, God was fair. It gave you such a face that went against the Heavens, and accordingly, it takes something from you in return. In any case, it won’t let everything go so smoothly for you.
ćć
Don’t tell me, do I feel in the same boat with him?
ćć
If the strongest country had been the Song Empire, then it would be the Great Lin Dynasty that would have needed to send a princess for marriage to show their goodwill. And that person would have been her.
ćć
They were all the abandoned ones.
ćć
She felt a little bit melancholy in her heart but did not let Lin Jingyuan see it. She happily accompanied him fishing for the whole afternoon. The eunuchs stationed on the fish pond took good care of them, the fish they caught was tied up together, and some people were sent to bring them to their respective palaces.
ćć
Lin Jingyuan was originally going to accompany her back. Still, in the middle of the way, Consort Xian sent someone to tell him that the Emperor was coming to Changming Hall to check on his studies, so he hurried back to the palace. Lin Jingyuan was so frightened that he immediately ran away after giving a few instructions.
ćć
Lin Feilu slowly and leisurely followed the eunuch back.
ćć
When they passed by Cuizhu Lodge, the bamboo trees were rustling in the breeze and the golden evening sun was hanging above the eaves, painting a picturesque scenery. She thought for a while, lifted two fish from the bucket, and told the eunuch, “Wait for me here.”
ćć
The eunuch bowed and assented, and Lin Feilu carried the fish to Cuizhu Lodge.
ćć
She thought that the Mingyue Palace she lived in was already remote and deserted enough, but she didn’t expect that this Cuizhu Lodge was even more bleak and desolate. When she pushed it open, the door with peeled-off paint creaked with a sound of disrepair.
ćć
In the courtyard, the little boy that was next to Song Jinglan was squatting to take some medicine. Seeing someone come in, his little severe face suddenly showed hesitation and nervousness.
