Lin Ting ignored him. The puppy was sitting obediently in his arms, sticking out his little pink tongue and licking his fingers.

He had loved animals since he was a child, in return, animals have also been kind to him. Whether they were cats, dogs or birds, all animals were willing to approach him willingly.

But he could not protect them.

With red eyes, he hugged the puppy, kissed its moving ears, and whispered something softly.

Wangyang was walking in front. When he heard a sound, he looked back then sighed and turned back. He spoke to himself in his heart, “It’s no wonder my Lady would use this method to forcefully teach him. The Eldest Prince is truly too kind-hearted.”

The beasts’ enclosure was located in a very remote part of the Imperial Palace. As they passed by a courtyard filled with wild grass, Lin Ting, who had been silent, suddenly threw the puppy over the dilapidated courtyard wall.

The yard was covered with several layers of dead branches and fallen leaves, so the puppy did not get hurt when it landed. It was whimpering for a while, then it stood up, limping on one leg, and ran away.

This area was an abandoned section of the Imperial Palace, furthermore there were stories of people drowning in the wells around this area. As such, Wangyang did not dare to go any further in and said, “Your Highness!”

Lin Ting looked at him coldly, “Tell Mother whatever you want!”

Once he finished his words, he turned around and left him.

Wangyang looked at the dilapidated courtyard, and then at Lin Ting who was walking away from him. Wangyang stomped his feet and could only return to the palace.

In Yaohua Palace, Noble Consort Ruan was lying on her daybed as her palace maid massaged her temples. Listening to Wangyang’s report, her eyes flickered. However, she was not angry. She just said with a lazy smile, “That’s the first time he’s stood up for something.”

Lin Ting did not return to Yaohua Palace, but hid alone in an abandoned courtyard and cried for a while. Then he wiped away his tears and walked towards Mingyue Palace.

When he was about to arrive, he heard Fifth Sister’s and Sixth Brother’s laughter from behind the courtyard wall. When he came closer, he saw they were having a snowball fight in the courtyard.

Seeing him push the door in, Lin Feilu unreservedly threw the snowball in her hand at him. Lin Ting was so stunned that he did not evade it and received the full blow of the snowball to the chest.

Lin Zhanyuan clapped his hands and laughed, “Big Brother Rabbit lost!”

His originally depressed and upset mood was slightly lessened. Lin Feilu smiled as she ran over and took his hand, “Eldest Brother, let me show you the snowmen I made!”

It was the first time Lin Ting had heard of and seen snowmen. At this, he thought his Fifth Sister was really amazing.

As soon as he came in, Lin Feilu found him crying. She played with him for a while. When she saw he gradually regained his smile, she pulled him into the house and patted his head like an adult and asked, “Eldest Brother, what’s the matter with you?”

Fifth Sister was probably the only person in this palace who was willing to listen to his thoughts.

Lin Ting’s voice was depressed as he told her what had happened.

He knew in his heart that he did not agree with his mother, but he also did not know how to refute her. He wanted to remain filial and obedient, but he also wanted to protect the things he loved.

He was the eldest son of Emperor Lin and the eldest prince in this palace. He would always play the part of a gentle elder brother in front of his younger siblings, but in truth, he is only twelve or thirteen years old.
