Princess Too Young, Prince Too Old

Du Heng replied with a smile on his face, “It seems that it will not snow today . But probably, it will snow heavily tomorrow . ”

“People always say that a fall of seasonable snow gives promise of a fruitful year . It’s really a good sign . ” Lu Zhishan stared at the two small narcissus in his hands, his eyes filled with pleasure . Then those flowers were carefully put into a book called Records of My Leisure . In that book lied another two plum blossoms and two kaffir lilies .

Pretty flowers, coming with the start of years, were pressed into pieces of specimen .

Lu Zhishan then opened the slip again, staring at the poem on it which said, “Everyone will be useful since they’ve been born .  Thousands of gold can be swept away, but it can still be earned . ”

Lu Zhishan turned the slip over and saw a picture in which presented a jar of wine, a stove that made of red mud and disordered snowflakes .

Lu Zhishan stared at the ugly snowflakes for a long while and tried hard to avoid bursting into laughter . He knew before that the little girl was not good at painting but it never occurred to him that her work could be so surprisingly terrible . If he was not imaginative enough, he would never figure out what she wanted to express .

It appeared that staying at home and pretending to be sick really made her bored .

Lu Zhishan finally folded the slip and put it back to the lucky bag . Then he turned to the man beside him and said, “Du Heng, send several servants to clean the Xihuai Mansion . I will go there tomorrow . ”

Du Heng got stunned . “My highness, you have been staying at home for three years . It will attracted those people’s attention if you come out so suddenly . ”

Lu Zhishan took one sip of tea and replied casually, “Now that emperor wants to use me to frustrate the third prince, I will definitely do my duty . ”

“Okay, I will arrange all the things for you, my highness . ”

It was the second day of the nineteenth year of Jiasheng .

Marquess Ning’s carriage slowly ran out the gate of the capital city . On the gate tower stood the general of guard troop Ma Ruilin and his people . He silently watched the dark black carriage running away without any expression on his face .

The vice general sighed with emotion as he saw that . “I have heard that emperor gave a dish to Marquess Ning on New Year’s Eve . He finally recalled Marquess Ning . Marquess Ning has been staying at his mansion for many years . He can eventually go out now . ”

“Don’t talk about those affairs of royal family . ” Ma Ruilin warned the man, paused for a while and then paid his attention to the men who just got out of the gate and rushed to the direction of the carriage . The way they rode their horses suggested that they must have been trained . Then Ma Ruilin continued his words and said, “Send some people to follow those two guys and kill them silently . If they have partners, just kill them too . A carriage of Princess Duanhui Heshuo will go out at noon . Protect it in secret . No accident is allowed to happen and those people who want to hurt princess must be killed on spot . ”

“Yes, I’ll arrange it soon . ” The vice general bowed and then quickly go downstairs .

Ma Ruilin, putting his hand on the cold wall of the tower, gazed at the clouds which were becoming dark . The happiness in his narrowed eyes disappeared soon .

Xihuai Mansion .

Zhao Jingting had been waiting in front of the gate when Lu Zhishan arrived . As soon as he saw Lu Zhishan got off the carriage, he excitedly walked forward and directly knelt, making a loud sound . Then he sobbed and said, “My highness, how are you in these days? I . . . I couldn’t be more glad to see you again . ”

Lu Zhishan quickly walked to hold him and said, “Save the formalities, General Zhao . There is no need for these things between us . Don’t be too polite in front me . ”
