Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

At the beginning of summer this year, Si Miaoran became pregnant. Hence, she started to take care of herself and was reallocated to the East Palace, so Lin Feilu came to the palace to accompany her more often. As soon as she heard that Princess Yong An had entered the palace, Si Miaoran would be much happier. It was notable that she would always send someone to wait outside the palace, inviting Lin Feilu inside the moment she gave her greetings without wasting a beat.

This time, Lin Feilu went in alone without waiting for the palace servants to invite her.

Si Miaoran sat on the rug and embroidered a hat and bib for the unborn baby according to the pattern that Lin Feilu drew when she visited last time.

Lin Feilu felt that these ancient women had the potential to be great painters. After all, Spongebob Squarepants looked so realistic through her work.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Feilu drew her another set of small dinosaurs that had clothes and a tail. This design was a bit more complex. After looking at it for a long time, Si Miaoran decided to hand it over to the Imperial Embroidery Workshop and have them make it.

Lin Qing came back half an hour later.

The three of them talked happily again before Lin Feilu called Lin Qing aside and said worriedly, “Brother Crown Prince, Father Emperor has recently increased the dosage of pills that he would take, can you persuade him not to? Although the medicine currently has the effect of strengthening the body, in the long run, the side effects will be even greater.”

Lin Qing smiled helplessly, “Do you think I haven’t tried persuading him? Last time, I merely said a few words before Father Emperor got angry and scolded me for not seeing him as strong and invincible. He also said I was impatient, wanting to see him grow old and pass.”

Lin Feilu, “…”

Lin Qing sighed, “How dare I try to persuade him again.”

All the Emperors would encounter these sorts of problems once they got old. The fundamental reason for their refusal to accept old age was their reluctance to abdicate the throne. Lin Qing was the heir apparent. Therefore, if he tried too hard to persuade, it might arouse Emperor Lin’s suspicions.

The two looked at each other helplessly for a moment before finally, Lin Feilu sighed, “Anyway, you should pay more attention to the movements and the matters of the Yangxin Palace.”

She didn’t say anything upright, but Lin Qing understood what she implied and nodded to her solemnly.

Before leaving the East Palace, Lin Qing thought of something as he stopped her and said, “You will be 18 at the beginning of the new year, and now that the mourning period for our Imperial Grandmother’s funeral has passed and your marriage has been delayed for so long, Father Emperor mentioned that you should have it set soon.”

Just as Lin Feilu was about to say something, Lin Qing lowered his voice and said, “You also know Father Emperor…don’t let him worry too much.”

She recalled that when she had just gone to the Yangxin Palace to pay her respects, she saw Emperor Lin half-leaning on the cushion with his swollen and aged face. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn’t say anything this time and just nodded silently.

Within two days, Lin Jingyuan came out of the palace and brought a stack of portraits to Princess Yong An’s Residence.

Lin Feilu was still playing around and kicking a feathered shuttlecock with Lin Zhanyuan, but when she saw the stack of portraits, she lost her energy.

Lin Jingyuan was very excited about it and laid out the portraits on the table happily,”Hurry, choose among these and see which one you like?”

Lin Feilu flipped through it with disinterest as Lin Jingyuan looked at her expression. He frowned and asked, “You don’t like either?”

She gave a tired hum of affirmation.
