NovelEnglishAfter Lin Feilu saw her future sister-in-law, she ran to the Eastern Palace as soon as she returned.
When Lin Feilu went there, Lin Qing was practicing his calligraphy skills before he heard her voice from afar. As soon as she came in, he admonished, “You’re a lady now; how can you still be so undignified? Stop shouting here and there with such unruly manners.”
Lin Feilu replied, “Oh, it seems that the brother Crown Prince really likes a quiet and virtuous woman like my future sister-in-law?”
Lin Qing paused and glanced at her before he shook his head helplessly, “Have you left the palace again?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Feilu was sitting on the couch. Her long blue dress draped over the seat like tassels, but she couldn’t stop her feet from swaying restlessly, “Yes, I went to see my sister-in-law! I’m making sure that brother Crown Prince deserves the best.”
Lin Qing laughed as he sat down and poured her a cup of butter tea, “When did it become your turn to make sure my marriage goes well? Would the marriage not happen if you were to disapprove, perhaps?”
Although it was a joke, it also expressed the Crown Prince’s helpless bitterness towards the situation.
Lin Feilu pouted as she took the butter tea from him. She said, “Sister-in-law is beautiful and has the same personality as the rumors say, so she should be a good wife. Brother Crown Prince should also treat sister-in-law well in the future!”
Lin Qing tapped her restlessly shaking knees with the handle of his fan, “Just take care of your own affairs. A few days ago, Father Emperor mentioned about your potential engagement to me. Do you have a man you fancy?”
Lin Feilu spat out the butter tea.
Fortunately, Lin Qing was agile and dodged at once, but it still splashed onto his sleeve before the palace servants standing next to him hurried to clean up the mess next to him. Lin Qing took out a handkerchief from the cuffs of his sleeve and handed it to her to wipe her mouth. She was speechless, “Look at yourself— you were so well-behaved when you were younger. Nowadays, you have become so unruly.”
Lin Feilu wiped her mouth and spoke in a slightly despaired tone, “Father Emperor really said that he would start my engagement now?”
Lin Qing replied to her, “How could it be fake? If you have someone you like, you can just tell me. Since I don’t have a choice in my romantic aspects, at the very least, you should choose someone that you want and don’t trouble yourself.”
Lin Feilu shook her head frantically again, “No, no, I don’t want to get married yet!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Qing said, “I’m not asking you to get married now; I just think you should decide first. What if someone else robbed you of your choice?”
Lin Feilu, “If someone can take him away, then it simply means that he never belonged to me in the first place,” She leaned forward and tugged onto Lin Qing’s sleeves pitifully, “Brother Crown Prince, I don’t want to get married so early. Can you help me talk to Father Emperor about it?”
Lin Qing looked at her dissatisfied, “It seems like you’ve been mingling with your fourth brother for too long; you have been infected by his rambunctiousness!”
Lin Feilu, “You yelled at me…QAQ”
Lin Qing, “…”
He couldn’t do anything about this little sister who he had been doting on since his childhood. Under the pressure of her pitifully sad eyes, he could only nod his head, “Forget it, you haven’t reached your age of marriage yet, so I guess it’s fine to push this back.”
Lin Feilu happily took out a round thing from the cuffs of her sleeves, “Brother Crown Prince is the best to me— this is for you!”
