As the Empress was a dedicated Buddhist practitioner, the Imperial Harem was usually managed by the two Noble Consorts. But since the crown prince came to visit her in person to report an incident, naturally she wanted to take care of this incident on his behalf. The concubines who embarrassed Xiao Lan will not receive a month’s worth of allowances and will be sentenced to house arrest for half a month.
After that, Lin Qing returned to the Eastern Palace.
As the crown prince, the load of his studies were much heavier than the other imperial princes. He also knew that he could not afford to slack off in order to retain his father’s love, thus he was very strict on himself. As soon as he returned to the palace, he began to read his books and practice his writing.

Both father and son began to discuss matters concerning the wellbeing of the country, specifically the wellbeing of commoners in the midst of a snowstorm. Emperor Lin was very satisfied with the crown prince’s performance. Before leaving, a sachet with distinctive embroidery had caught his eye, so he expressed his interest in it to his son.
Lin Qing took it off his waist and handed it to the emperor.
After giving it a whiff, Emperor Lin thought that the scent was very refreshing and comfortable. He smiled and said, “It looks brand new. Is this a new product from the Imperial Household Department?”
Lin Qing replied, “No, it was given to me by Fifth Sister.”
Emperor Lin just stood there for some time. He could not remember who this fifth sister was.
Seeing his puzzled look, Lin Qing spoke up and reminded him, “She is Honorable Lady Lan’s daughter. Father, she is the Fifth Imperial Princess.”
Oh, that fool.
The color on Emperor Lin’s face faded, he looked at the sachet in his hand, suddenly he felt that it was not so special anymore, and returned it to his son. This was the first time the emperor had any impression of his fifth daughter. In the very least, Lin Feilu was no longer an unknown person in the emperor’s book.
Lin Qing fastened the sachet back on his waist again.

Hearing how she explained the process of making the hand cream, Lin Jingyuan felt satisfied immediately! This was more troublesome than making a sachet! He must really be Little Lu’s favorite person!
That was until he saw his eldest sister Lin Nianzhi take out a box of the same cream and dabbed it all over her hands in class.
He also smelled the familiar white plum scent from his seatmate Xi Xingjiang’s hands.
Lin Jingyuan: I think she only loved me very briefly.
