Chapter 72

Lin Feilu tilted her head to a side as she continued to grin. "Yes, I did. Last time I saw Your Highness suffered frostbite on your hands. This hand cream has a soft and moist texture that can nourish and protect your hands. Please remember to apply it at all times."

Song Jinglan's cracked fingers trembled faintly for a moment.

Wrapped in a cloak, this little girl in front of him just brushed off some melted snow from her hood, then she waved at him, "I'll be going now."

He lowered his eyes, then he smiled tenderly as he responded, "Thank you, Fifth Princess."

Lin Feilu had only just visited to bring a gift and was already leaving with a skip in her step. As she was running to the entrance, suddenly she seemed to have recalled something, then turned around and happily said, "By the way, Your Highness, this is the first snowfall of the year. I heard that if you make a wish when the first snow falls, your wish will come true. So don't forget to make a wish, Your Highness."

Song Jinglan was momentarily stunned, then he smiled and nodded in reply. "Alright."

Tiandong escorted her outside into the courtyard and saw the Fifth Princess's maidservant who was waiting outside. He watched on as the Fifth Princess walked away into the distance before locking the gates and returning inside.

Inside the house, Song Jinglan was studying the rouge box.

It was as she said, this hand cream's texture was very light and soft. When he applied the cream to his frostbite wounds, it really did feel like the dryness had reduced.

Tiandong whistled in amazement. He continued to ask, "Your Highness, what the Fifth Princess said just now, is it true? Will a wish made today really come true?"

When Song Jinglan was done with applying the hand cream, he tucked it away into his robes. "You can try it."

Tiangdong hurriedly ran outside the door. He clasped his hands together and made a wish, then turned around and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any wishes? Quickly make a wish while it's still snowing now."

Song Jinglan looked up to the falling snow with an indifferent expression on his face. He said in a small voice, "I don't need the heavens to grant my wishes come true."

...

When Lin Feilu left Cuizhu Villa, she did not immediately return to Mingyue Palace.

As the snow had accumulated overnight, the red glazed tiles that capped the surrounding walls were blanketed by a silvery canvas. It was a beautiful sight.

There were several servants sweeping away snow on both sides of the road, which made this road look much livelier than it was before.

When they were about to approach Yaohua Palace, Lin Feilu bade Qingyan to return home first, "I'm going to talk with Eldest Imperial Sister for some time. Since it's cold outside, you should return to the palace first."

Qingyan now knew that the little princess and the Eldest Princess had a good relationship, thus she was no longer worried for her and left after acknowledging her words. Lin Feilu gave her cloak a little shake. Holding the hand stove in her hands, she briskly walked over.

A servant was standing guard at the gates of Yaohua Palace. When their eyes met, he briefly saluted her before Lin Feilu asked, "Is the Eldest Imperial Sister here?"

The servant replied, "May the Fifth Princess please wait here for a moment. This lowly one will go and report your arrival."

Lin Feilu nodded. Not long after, a maidservant came to greet her. She lowered her head as she said, "Fifth Princess, Consort Hui is waiting for you inside."

This Yaohua Palace is such an unfriendly place.

Lin Feilu groaned internally. Putting on a compliant smile, she picked up her step and went inside.
