NovelEnglishNoble Consort Xi was not chatty. Lin Feilu could not be rowdy if she wanted to gain her favour, and opted to enjoy the hot spring in silence. The palace was quiet for a while, and Lin Feilu became drowsy from the steam. After all, she was young and was not supposed to be soaking in the hot spring for too long.
Noble Consort Xi glanced at the little dumpling, then instructed the maid servant, “Take the Fifth Princess out.”
Lin Feilu was instantly awakened and held on to her long arm.
“?”
“I still want to soak with the Lady,” she insisted.

Lin Feilu replied shrewdly, “Who knows that I might have legs as long as the Lady’s if I stayed here longer. Xi Xingjiang always scolds me for being short. “
“You don’t have to worry about him. You’ll be taller than him when I break his legs,” Noble Consort Xi muttered coldly.
Lin Feilu’s pleadings failed to extend her stay in the hot spring as she was picked up by the maid servant from the pool.
Noble Consort Xi noticed the longing in her eyes and frowned, “You can come again tomorrow, the pool is not going to run away.”
Lin Feilu leaned on the maid servant’s shoulder, her body wrapped in a dripping wet bath towel, baby hair sticking on the forehead of her ruddy face. Her large eyes glistened hopefully, “Can I still come again tomorrow?”
“If you want to,” Noble Consort Xi answered indifferently.
Only then Lin Feilu happily allowed herself to be carried down by the maid servant.
After changing into a set of dry robes, the maid servants in Noble Consort Xi’s residence took her to the next room for tea. Maybe because she was soaking in the hot spring earlier, her stomach was rumbling in hunger. She sat on the stool and relished in the tea and snacks served to her. The maid servant was filled with adoration watching her two dangling legs swinging back and forth, her eyes darted around in curiosity as she ate.
She whispered quietly to Songyu, who was standing at a corner, “The Fifth Princess is lovely!”
Songyu was proud and delighted, “Yes! Our Fifth Princess is the loveliest little girl in the world!”
Lin Feilu listened to two teenage sisters showering her with praises, feeling very pleased with herself.

Seeing that she was looking around curiously, when she finished eating, the maid servant crouched down and said softly, “Fifth Princess, how about I take you around to explore this place? This is the hot spring hall given to the Lady by his Majesty. Except for the Lady, no one else is allowed to enter.”
Lin Feilu thought that the hall was beautiful. It was tasteful and elegant, not too luxurious, nor too simple, and has the sense of tranquility one would see in ink paintings.
She nodded and jumped off the stool to follow the maid servant.
The entire hot spring palace was built as a retreat for the emperor, the scenery was undoubtedly good, but it was obvious that this hall stood out from the rest. It was obvious that Emperor Lin placed great importance on Noble Consort Xi.
However, according to the information she had collected before, Emperor Lin did not often turn the plate for Noble Consort Xi; he had always preferred the dazzlingly beautiful Noble Consort Ruan, or the delicate and alluring Consort Mei when it comes to serving him in bed.
Noble Consort Xi was not the typical beauty, and with her cold demeanor, she gave off a distant aura, and Emperor Lin probably did not prefer such character.
However, Lin Feilu was glad. She had taken a liking to Noble Consort Xi, and she felt that it’s a good thing that such beauty did not need to serve the emperor in bed!
