It was on the high slope next to the pavilion where Lin Feilu first met the eldest princess Lin Nianzhi. The palace servants never bothered to sweep the snow around this area as it was too difficult for them to climb up the slope. Thus, this area was full of snow, and the slope was just steep enough to her liking. She tried it the other day, and it was just right for sledding.
The snow had stopped since the first day of the New Year, and now the snow in this area was showing signs of melting. The gentle slope was less than two meters up from the ground, so even if they turned over, it would not be a big problem.
Lin Feilu pulled Lin Zhanyuan up enthusiastically. She first sat inside the basin as a demonstration, and then she slid down the slope.
Lin Zhanyuan looked stunned, and clapped his hands excitedly. However, he was a little scared, and waited for Lin Feilu to climb up the hill again before he sat inside the basin with the help of his sister.
Lin Feilu dragged him behind and asked loudly, “Are you ready!”
Lin Zhanyuan, “Alright!”
Then she smiled and let go of her hand and pushed him down.
Lin Zhanyuan yelled in excitement, and as soon as he reached the end he held the basin and climbed up again.
The two had a great time, and the sound of laughter floated far and wide.
As Song Jinglan and Tiandong were just about to return from retrieving items from the Imperial Household Department, they heard the laughter floating in the wind.
Tiandong was clever, and he could hear it right away, “It seems to be the voice of the fifth princess.”
Song Jinglan looked over through the eaves of the pavilion. Hearing their laughter, he was feeling a little curious, “Let’s go and see.”
The two of them walked around the pavilion. As soon as they approached, they saw the fifth princess sitting in a basin on the high slope, clutching the edge of the basin with her two small hands, and slid all the way down the slope.
Tiandong had never seen this kind of game before as his eyes widened in surprise.
It was a pity that she did not balance herself well this time. As she was about to reach the end, she overturned and flew out of the basin. She fell on the snow and slid out a long way, and then fell onto the ground, right at Song Jinglan’s feet.
Song Jinglan: “…”
Lin Feilu: “…”
He suppressed a smile, as he leaned over and asked, “Fifth Princess, what are you doing?”
Lin Feilu: “…”
She laid down on the ground and looked at him pitifully, “Little Lu has fallen down, and I need a kiss from Your Highness to get up.”
Song Jinglan: “…”
Tiandong: “…”
Aaaaaaah!! She’s teasing His Highness!!!
Song Jinglan shook his head amusedly, squatted down and pulled her up from the snow, and then patted the snow off her clothes. When he squatted down, his height was exactly parallel to her. When they looked at each other, she could just see his gentle eyes.
He asked, “Is this fun?”
Lin Feilu said, “It’s fun! Your Highness, would you like to try it?”
Song Jinglan laughed, “I won’t try, this pot won’t fit me.”
Lin Feilu let out a loud cry when saw what Tiandong was holding. “Have you gone to the Imperial Household Department?”
He nodded, “Yes, I went to get some things.”
The little girl in front of her immediately made a fierce expression. With her little hand on her hips, she asked, “Did they harass you?!”
Song Jinglan laughed, “No.”
Lin Feilu looked at him anxiously, “In the future, whatever Your Highness is missing, just tell me, and I’ll send it to you. The people in the Imperial Household Department only know how to treat people by their standing, Your Highness would inevitably be mistreated by them.”
She looked at him now as she looked at her little cubs from her previous life.
She just couldn’t rush up to him now and tell him how handsome he was and how much Mama loved him.
(T/N: Lin Feilu was a sugar mommy in her past life.)
