Emperor Lin was completely unaware of his daughter’s stunned expression. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this title was so appealing. It was full of charm and delightful to say— it was simply beautiful!
As expected of !
Lin Feilu watched helplessly as Emperor Lin was about to draw up a decree before she hugged his arm in fright, “Father Emperor, wait!”
Emperor Lin smiled and said, “You don’t have to refuse, this is the honour you deserve.”
Lin Feilu, “…”
She forced out a very sincere smirk and asked suspiciously, “Father, although this title sounds beautiful, don’t you think it doesn’t have a good aning?”
Emperor Lin said, “What do you an by that?”
Lin Feilu said in a deep voice, “Although green tea is truly beautiful, it is easy for it to fade and wilt away…”
When Emperor Lin heard it, he thought that was indeed true! Little Lu was in her ‘flowering season’, so it would be too unlucky to use this title.
Thinking of this, he could only reluctantly give up and withdrew his hand that was holding the pen, “Soday I’ll ask the people from the Ministry of Rites to co up with several titles so you can choose for yourself.”
Lin Feilu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two chatted a bit more before Emperor Lin asked, “You just ca back from the Qi Residence? How is your eldest brother’s health?”
Lin Feilu’s eyes darkened and her tone beca dull, “Although the eldest Imperial brother is awake and his body is improving day by day, his ntal state has still not improved by much. Imperial doctor ng said that depression is a problem in the heart, so it is difficult to treat it with dicine,” Her eyes gradually turned red and she choked on her words,”He also said that if this continues, the eldest Imperial brother may fall unconscious and never wake up again.”
Emperor Lin thought that Lin Ting would be alright once he woke up, but his expression suddenly beca solemn.
Lin Feilu sat down a little and hugged his arm before she placed her small head on his shoulder. It looked as if she was a child again, depending on her father when she was troubled.
Emperor Lin sighed and touched her head, listening to her whispers, “Father Emperor, I want to take the eldest Imperial brother out for a walk.”
Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, “I have read several dical books in the past few days. It was recorded that although depression cannot be treated with dicine, it can be solved by changing the living environnts to relax the body and mind. Eldest Imperial brother has been living in the capital since he was born, so it might be a lot better for him if he moved to another place and looked at other sceneries.”
Emperor Lin rely watched his eldest son get to where he was today.
He also praised his gentleness and kindness. But in the end, he was the one who also took advantage of this loving quality of Lin Ting’s.
Occasionally, when he recalled that day in the King Qi Residence, he rembered how Lin Ting was teetering between life and death as a trace of guilt flashed in his heart.
Now that he heard Lin Feilu say this, he continued and asked, “Then where do you want to take him to?”
Lin Feilu had thought about it for a long ti before she looked up and said, “The Wutai Mountain! We can start from the capital and travel all the way to the Wutai Mountain just to visit Grandmother Empress Dowager. Since the eldest Imperial brother is saddened, perhaps practising the art of Buddhism in the Wutai Mountains would do him so good.”
This was not that bad of an idea.
