Princess Too Young, Prince Too Old

“Okay, take it as your gift . ” Lu Zhishan smiled and took one sip of tea .

Mu Nanzhi pouted and said, “You are an honorable marquess . How can you be so mean? Even if you are going to give me a handkerchief, you should give me a new one, right?”

However, Lu Zhishan just replied in a serious tone, “Do you want ten more pieces of handkerchief? What kind of handkerchief do you want, silk, satin or brocade?”

Mu Nanzhi had nothing to say in reply .

It was the eighth day of eleventh month of the eighteenth lunar year of Jiasheng .

It was also the fifteenth birthday of Mu Nanzhi . Girls would be grown-up when they were fifteen years old . So there would be an adult ceremony for her . Empress dowager told her to hold the adult ceremony in the palace since both of her parents were not at her side . And her personal dressing maid designed a gold ingot hairstyle for Mu Nanzhi . Empress dowager gave her a Ruyi hairpin which was made of white jade and decorated with red Sedum Stahlii . Empress couldn’t go out because of illness, so she asked the forth prince Lu Zhiyue to attend the ceremony on behalf of her .

Lu Zhiyue had already married the girl of Wei Family, who was the prime minister’s granddaughter . This girl was raised up as the future wife of the crown prince . But everything happened unexpectedly and she eventually became a concubine of Lu Zhiyue . She had no chance to wear the bright red wedding dress any more . Instead, she could only put on a light red wedding robe and got on a light red wedding palanquin reluctantly . In the end, she was sent into the palace, going past the side gate rather than the front gate . That night Lu Zhiyue didn’t enter backyard at all, being busy dealing with some urgent matters for Lu Mingwei . The girl of Wei Family was filled with complaints and kept sobbing all night in the sleeping chamber . Then she served Lu Zhiyue to have breakfast with inflamed eyes the next morning . After working for a whole night, Lu Zhiyue was unpleasant seeing the terrible expression on her face . He directly went out and left the young woman weeping in the dining room .

The capital city was so small that the news about Lu Zhiyue’s att.i.tude towards his new wife spread quickly, which made the young girl feel much more ashamed and kept crying all day long . Seeing that Lu Zhiyue got more disgusted of Wei’s granddaughter, prime minister Wei Junchen couldn’t stand it anymore and asked Lu Mingwei how his granddaughter was now . Lu Mingwei scold Lu Zhiyue with a few words and then turned to empress to dress the girl of Wei Family down . In this case Prime Minister Wei dared not to say any words more in front of Lu Mingwei .

Lu Zhiyue had lunch with empress dowager, Linglong Princess, Marquis Zhongyuan’s wife as well as Mu Nanzhi in Shoukang Palace . He gave Mu Nanzhi a jade bracelet which was mounted with gold as a gift for her birthday . Mu Nanzhi loved the bracelet so much and she happened not to wear any bracelets when she came out home . So she put it on immediately . The mutton-fat jade was perfect and her hands looked white and delicate against it . Both empress dowager and Linglong Princess said it was a great bracelet and praised Lu Zhiyue for his skill of selecting presents . Lu Zhiyue insisted that it was his mother who selected the gift and he just took it here . Mu Nanzhi then thanked empress for her favour and thanked Lu Zhiyue for his gift .

It was the first time that Lu Zhiyue had ever seen Mu Nanzhi wear red dress . The beautiful dress suited the cute girl so well that Lu Zhiyue couldn’t help fixing his eyes on her . He felt great pity for the fact that this gorgeous girl was marrying to a weak prince who looked more like a thin c.o.c.k . The match meant nothing but putting a pretty flower on a piece of dog poo! It was really a waste!

Marquis Zhongyuan’s wife kept coldly kept her eyes on Mu Nanzhi who was looking at her bracelet happily, sneering in her heart .

Marquess Mansion .

Lu Zhishan sat silently in the study .

“Marquess, Xie Lun is coming . ” Song Fu came in and reported .
