Lin Feilu was very satisfied.
She cajoled with Xiao Lan for a while so she would not worry too much, and narrated to her about practicing martial arts with Noble Consort Xi with enthusiasm.
Xiao Lan was not surprised that her own daughter was gaining much favor, but still advised her, “Since Noble Consort values you, don’t let her down.”
Lin Feilu nodded solemnly.
Practicing horse stances had become her daily routine. Early in the next morning, the princess was already shouting and grunting in the courtyard, attracting confused stares from Qingyan and the others.
Songyu explained, “This matter… started from a crow with a broken wing.”
After a long time of her absence, Lin Zhanyuan apart from clinging on to her during their sleep at night, he had also been following her around during the day. He asked curiously when he saw his sister practicing the horse stance, “Is Sister pooping?”
“…” She corrected him “Sister is practicing martial arts! Hmph! Ha!”
Lin Zhanyuan was even more puzzled, “What is martial arts?”
Lin Feilu replied, “I will become very powerful after learning martial arts. I can beat down all the bad guys and protect Brother!”
Lin Zhanyuan immediately imitated her stance, squatting next to her and said, “Brother also wants to practice martial arts and protect Sister!” In less than two minutes, he fell to the ground on his bottom. Feeling aggrieved, he scolded himself, “Brother is stupid!”
After scolding, he got up again with his lips pursed and continued to squat.
A big reason Lin Feilu was becoming more accepting of her cute five-year-old character was this silly brother.
In the afternoon, after practicing her horse stance and stretches, Lin Feilu rushed to see Noble Consort Xi.
It was her first time visiting Noble Consort Xi in her residence, Jinyun Palace. She was indeed second only to the empress. The scale of the palace was much larger and more exquisite than that of the four consorts.
Noble Consort Xi’s palace servants had grown familiar with her during the retreat, and immediately welcomed her into the palace as soon as they saw the Fifth Princess. Concubine Xi had no children so far, and her palace servants had always been envious of the other concubines with children.
Now with the presence of the Fifth Princess, although she was not the Noble Consort’s child, they were very close. The whole palace adored the lovable princess.
Lin Feilu started sweating as soon as Lin Feilu entered the well heated room, and quickly took off her cloak. It was the same in the retreat palace. The furnace in Noble Consort Xi’s room was always burning very well.
She always thought that a martial arts practitioner like Noble Consort Xi would have a strong body and would not be afraid of the cold. She probably was inflicted with internal cold, which led to cold hands and feet; the imperial physician would need to prescribe something to treat that.
The little bean had spoken her thoughts aloud in earnest, and the room was instantly silent.
Noble Consort Xi did not respond. She was still fiddling with the lid of her teacup. The two palace servants beside her looked a little sad, they opened their mouths to speak, then closed it. Finally, one of them replied with a smile, “The Fifth Princess is very caring for the empress.”
Noble Consort Xi took a look at the little bean and said, “I’m not afraid of the cold. I don’t have any internal cold, and my hands and feet are not cold either.”
“…”
Then what are you doing! Remove the furnace!
