Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
chapter-263

Xi Xingjiang felt that he had lost against this pair of siblings. Despite his best attempts to coax them all the way back to the He Se Palace, Lin Feilu never once returned her gaze on him as the children entered the courtyard. With that, he rubbed his nose slightly before leaving in boredom.

For the next three days, the palace began to prepare for the annual Summer Hunt.

Every year, those who won the top prize in the Summer Hunt would receive a golden bow bestowed by Emperor Lin. Several Imperial Princes received horseback archery lessons from a young age, so the hunt was also a good setting to showcase their skills.

Lin Feilu had never participated in such a large-scale hunting event. After all, the concept in modern society was about protecting animals. Throughout the past couple of days, all she saw was everyone around her gradually becoming occupied with tasks that led to the preparation of the event, thus she started to look forward to the event as well.

She has been practicing horseback riding since the beginning of spring. Although she had yet to reach the level where she could ride a horse and aim an arrow towards the eagles that soared in the skies, riding a few laps did not pose a problem for her. So when she acted coquettishly to bait Emperor Lin into letting her join, he unknowingly took the bait and allowed her to participate during the Summer Hunt. (editor’s note: classic dad jebaited by cute daughter)

She just wanted to see the sights and check out the event. As long as she didn’t venture off alone, there were guards stationed at every vicinity, so the level of security and safety were both quite high.

Lin Zhanyuan didn’t know what the Summer Hunt was. After listening to Xiao Lan’s explanation, he only thought of it as an action to find small animals. He heard that his sister was going to participate in it, so he took her hand and explained seriously, “I want a little grey rabbit!”

Lin Feilu, “Okay! I’ll bring you a live one!”

On the day of Xia Shou, Lin Feilu got up early.

Xiao Lan had spent the past few days altering her dress, which looked like a riding suit, to make it easier for her to ride a horse. As the 6-year-old girl put on a blue and white riding suit, she lost her usual childish and cute appearance and there were traces of an elegant beauty emanating from her form.

When they got to the gathering place, Emperor Lin commented as soon as he saw her, “My Little Fifth Princess seems to be a bit taller now, what do you guys think?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Feilu suspected that the dress she usually wore made her legs appear shorter than it seemed.

The horse that the palace servants prepared for her was still young. It had a white body and looked very small among a group of tall horses. Lin Feilu climbed on the horse’s back and stroked its mane. After she established a friendship with it unilaterally, she then started to follow the large army.

Xi Xingjiang rode his horse and ran around her in circles for several laps as he winked, raised his eyebrows and made faces at her. Lin Feilu was really annoyed by him.

He smiled and said, “Little Bean, what do you like? I’ll hunt one for you later.”

Lin Feilu, “I like tigers! The type that eats people!”

Xi Xingjiang thought for a while, “I actually dare to hunt it, but the question is, are you daring enough to want it?”

Lin Feilu, “…”

Ahhhhh, is this person sick or what?!!!
