Time quickly passed by and the Rabbit Moon festival has arrived.
The streets were crowded with people wearing vibrant clothes to celebrate the auspicious day. The Rabbit Moon festival was one big festival that was held for three days and three nights. People would hang lanterns and walk by the parks and streets to welcome the new season. With the winter season almost gone, the breeze of wind became slightly warmer and refreshing with the hint of plants and flowers starting to bloom.
Outside of the Lin residence, four horse-drawn carriages were parked and one could see that the carriages all carry the insignia of a white tiger of the Lin family. People couldn't help but look over and envy the lavish lives that the members of the family had to experience. However, they couldn't complain about it since they also knew that the reason why they were living in that kind of lifestyle was because of Lin Xiaomeng's military achievements.
As more people gathered to watch the carriages and hoping to see the members of the Lin family, the Second Madam and First Madam of the Lin family came out of the entrance. They wore their best dresses made up of high-quality fabrics and behind them were their children.
First, a handsome and clean looking Lin Shen Yu was the first to walk out of the door after the two madams and beside him was his brother, Lin Junkai who looked exactly like his father..
They looked behind them and saw four young ladies were also walking towards the front entrance. It was Lin Yueyi, Lin Hua Lou, and Lin Xiao. Each of these young ladies wore prettily and had a beautiful smile on their faces.

However, that painting was instantly caught flames as their eyes widened at the last person who came out of the Lin residence front gate.
Wearing a black dress and with her hair tied into an immortal hairstyle, Lin Xiaofei pulled everyone's attention and everyone held their breaths.
Having the spotlight stolen from them, Lin Xiao and Lin Hua Lou couldn't help but frown. They didn't like being the background of Lin Xiaofei's beautiful portrait.
"Fourth Cousin, should we share one carriage?" Lin Xiao smiled at her and purposely making her voice louder than normal for everyone to hear.
Once everyone heard the identity of the fairy-like lady, everyone's eyes that were filled with admiration was replaced with disgust. Among the people who loved the gossip in the Capital, the commoners who have nothing to do was at the top of the rankings.
Lin Xiaofei ignored their expression on their faces and answered Lin Xiao, "Wouldn't that be too troublesome for Third Elder Sister?"
Shaking her head, Lin Xiao smiled, "Of course not, we're sisters. There's nothing troublesome with sharing one carriage. But if Fourth Younger Sister doesn't want to, I can always share with the other sisters."
Lin Xiao was deliberately trying to say that Lin Xiaofei was reluctant and didn't like to be with her other cousin sisters and shows no respect to them as they were older than her. She was also trying to remind the crowd that had gathered around them that Lin Xiaofei was still the same arrogant and self-centered little girl.
But how could Lin Xiaofei not know her intentions? Sneering inside, Lin Xiaofei also smiled at her, "What is third elder sister saying? How can I not want to share one carriage with you? Come, let's go inside the carriage and not make everyone wait for us."
Lin Xiaofei took hold of her hand and pulled Lin Xiao inside the carriage without another glance at the people surrounding them.
With all the carriage occupied by the Lin family members, their journey to the imperial palace started.
Inside the carriage, Lin Xiao's smile on her lips almost slipped off her face after being shoved inside by Lin Xiaofei.
Looking at that peerless face, Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and her dislike towards this cousin of hers intensified as she thought of how many eyes were drawn to her figure once they got out of their residence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lin Xiao's eyes lowered at Lin Xiaofei's dress, her eyes flashed and she appeared to be shocked at her dress, "Fourth Younger Sister… that dress…"
"Is something wrong with it?" Lin Xiaofei asked her.
"Why are you wearing a dress of that color? Don't you know that we're going to the palace and will meet the emperor?" Lin Xiao frowned, "This cannot do... I should sent my maids to get a new dress for you to wear."
Wearing a black dress in front of the emperor and on the day of a festival was definitely a no-go. It would be an insult to the royal family and the tradition of celebrating the festival while wearing vibrant or any other dresses for as long as it wasn't black.
Of course, Lin Xiaofei knew this and commented, "There's no need for third elder sister to bother. I don't want to bother you or your maids to get me a different dress to wear. I actually like wearing this dress and the fabric is great to the touch. I don't wish to change it."
"Besides, the royal family won't even bother over one young lady who wore differently when they have a lot of things to do." She added.
That's right, the royal family had been quite busy since the festival was about to begin and now that the first day of the festival has come, their tasks were doubled hence, they wouldn't really notice nor care if someone wore a black dress or tattered clothes.
And even if they did noticed and try to make trouble with her over her dress, Lin Xiaofei has a method to make them forget about her.
Thinking of what evil she had planned today, Lin Xiaofei couldn't help but put on a beautiful smile on her face.
