Lin Feilu slept until noon and woke up for lunch. Soon, a palace servant came to inform them that the hot springs were ready, and the hot springs would be ready to be used in the afternoon.

Lin Feilu used to love going to hot spring hotels in the winter, and was very excited as she headed out to the hot spring with her hair tied up in a knot on top of her head.

There were many hot springs in the palace, and each residence had its own spring eye. Although the imperial army was under the order of Emperor Lin to follow the Fifth Princess wherever she went, places such as hot springs involved privacy, so no one was allowed to enter except for the personal maid servants.

Lin Feilu thought to herself, It’s impossible I would be assassinated in a hot spring, right?

But it’s not impossible.

She struggled for a while.

At the same time, Pengman arrived, and said hurriedly when he saw her, “Fifth Princess, Your Majesty summoned you, please come with the servant.”

Lin Feilu followed Peng Man. Emperor Lin fell in love as soon as he saw the knot on her head, and could not help fiddling with it, teasing her, “The two small knots are combined into one today.”

… Is it really okay for you to behave so childish as an Emperor?

Still feigning innocence and cuteness, “Father, where are we going?”

Emperor Lin took her hand and said, “I don’t feel safe that you will be in the hot springs alone. I will take you to a safer place.”

Lin Feilu thought that Emperor Lin was going to get out his own hot springs for her, but it turned out that he took her to Noble Consort Xi.

Lin Feilu was flabbergasted when Noble Consort Xi came out doned in an unlined garment.

It was her first time meeting the legendary figure. She was not as enchanting and beautiful as the other concubines in the harem, on the contrary, her eyebrows and eyes were pale, and her eyes were cold; she did not have a slender figure, but carried a dauntless aura.

She bowed and saluted upon Emperor Lin’s arrival. It was neither humble nor overbearing, and her cold eyes glanced lightly at the little girl next to Emperor Lin.

She’s so cool!

Emperor Lin beamed at her, “Tan’er, I brought Little Fifth Princess over to share a hot spring with you. You knew what happened at the resting station, and I don’t want her to be alone.”

Lin Feilu blinked innocently and was about to make a cuteness attack, then she heard Noble Consort Xi question quietly,”Did your Majesty take me as a guard now?”

Emperor Lin chuckled, as if he was used to her tone of voice; completely unaffected, he pushed Lin Feilu forward, “I don’t feel at peace passing her to others, I trust you the most.”

Noble Consort Xi Gui returned a noncommittal smile and glanced at Lin Feilu again.

Lin Feilu saluted immediately, and said with a milky voice. “Little Fifth Princess greets Noble Consort Xi.”

Emperor Lin added, “My Little Fifth Princess is so cute, Tan’er will definitely like her.”

Noble Consort Xi remained in her cold composure, and bowed towards Emperor Lin, “I will do my best.”

Emperor Lin left happily.

Only Lin Feilu, Noble Consort Xi, and their respective maids were left in the hall when Emperor Lin left. Noble Consort Xi turned and walked away without looking back. As if knowing that Lin Feilu had not moved, she spoke in a soft voice, “Come on.”
