"Phew, that scared me to death!" Lin Han ran to the outside of Lin Heng's palace, bent over, and said breathlessly.
"Why are you running so fast? Anyone who doesn't know better would think you got caught doing something bad." Xiao Meng said with a grin as she looked at Lin Han, who was panting heavily.
"You don't understand. If Lin Heng finds out that his sister overheard him, I'll be embarrassed to death, if not him," Lin Han said to Xiao Meng as she walked slowly, trying to catch her breath.
At this moment, Lin Han clearly sensed that someone was watching her, and she gradually realized who it was, but she pretended not to know.
"Princess, would you like to begin embroidery now?" a maid asked Lin Han, holding many balls of thread and pieces of cloth.
Lin Han looked at the materials without any interest and said directly to the maid, "Take them away. I don't want to waste time making useless things."
Then Lin Han went back inside and called Xiao Feng in.
"Xiao Feng, is there anything you wish to fulfill?" Mr. Lin Han asked Xiao Feng after pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, this servant has no wish to fulfill." Upon hearing Lin Han's words, Xiao Feng misunderstood and thought that Lin Han was going to send her away, so she hurriedly said tremblingly.
"Don't be so nervous. You've been with me for several years now. Today, I just want to have a chat with you," Lin Han quickly explained, looking at Xiao Feng who was trembling below.
"Is Your Highness in a bad mood today?" Xiao Feng asked, looking at Lin Han's melancholy face.
"It's nothing, I just remembered a story and couldn't help feeling a little sentimental," Lin Han said, resting her chin on her hand.
"Xiao Feng, have you heard this story before?"
Once upon a time, there was a woman who fell in love with a man.
One day, the man asked the woman if she would wait for him, and she agreed.
But then the man disappeared without a trace, and for years there was no news of him. The woman could only wait in vain. Don't you think he's too cruel?
Lin Han took a sip of tea and, feigning melancholy, told Xiao Feng the revised story.
Xiao Feng was furious after hearing this, "That man is so bad! How could he just leave like that!"
"Yes, if I were that woman, I wouldn't forgive that man if he came back. That's too much," Lin Han said indignantly, putting down her teacup.
“That’s right! That’s right! It can’t be forgiven!” Xiao Feng echoed.
Wei Yuchen, who was eavesdropping, suddenly felt a chill run down her neck, and even felt that Lin Han's words were actually meant for her.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that she had no idea she was back, and it was impossible that she was saying it on purpose for me to hear. So I attributed her words to the fact that she had just read too many short stories.
"Your Highness, are you really not going to embroider the wedding dress fabric that the Emperor sent?" Xiao Feng asked as she arrived, having seen the fabric being taken away by the maid.
"Why bother embroidering? He can't see it anyway, so why should I bother to do it? Even if he could see it, I wouldn't want to embroider it."
Lin Han opened the tea manual on the tea table and carefully read the tea-brewing methods inside.
"Alright, you can go now. We don't need you to serve us here anymore," Lin Han said to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng respectfully agreed and then left the house.
"Embroidering a wedding dress is the most troublesome thing." Lin Han looked at the tea manual in her hand, but complained about how difficult it was to embroider a wedding dress.
Wei Yucheng was separated from Lin Han by only a wall, and he heard everything she said. Hearing Lin Han's complaints, he could only shake his head helplessly.
