Princess Too Young, Prince Too Old Chapter 37

Proofread by Claire . KK

“The wedding ceremony was supposed to be held a few years earlier but I was fighting on the battlefield at that time . I really had no time to go back so the wedding ceremony was put off again and again . ”

“My sister-in-law was really considerate . If I were her, I would get out of temper and refuse to wait for you . ” Mu Nanzhi couldn’t help saying .

“Yes, she was really considerate,” uttered Lu Zhishan .

Mu Nanzhi looked carefully at the expression on Lu Zhishan’s face . Noticing that there was no obvious change on his face, Mu Nanzhi continued her words, “Have you ever met my sister-in-law before the wedding ceremony?”

Lu Zhishan took one sip of his tea and shook his head, “No .  What’s worse, I got drunk on the wedding ceremony and didn’t remove the red veil for her that night . It was until the second day that I saw her face clearly .

Actually, he had the chance to see her before the wedding ceremony . When Lu Mingwei asked he to marry the girl of Duan Family, Lu Mingwei had ever sent someone to bring the picture of the girl and asked Lu Zhishan if he was satisfied with his future wife . However, he was busy fighting and had no time to see it . He even forgot which place he had put the picture into . Later, he sent a letter to the capital city and said that he would follow his father’s arrangement . Soon after that, Lu Mingwei gave the order and made the match . ”

“Cousin, will you miss my sister-in-law sometimes?”

Lu Zhishan didn’t answer her question . Staring at the floating Kuding tea in his cup, Lu Zhishan got stunned .

Would he miss her?

Lu Zhishan recalled the continuous cough of Princess Duan and her eyes which were covered with faint wrinkles .

Mu Nanzhi quickly realized that she had made some mistakes . Sitting there nervously and seeing that Lu Zhishan just kept silent, Mu Nanzhi picked up some green shoots for him and said in a low voice, “Cousin, eat some more . ”

Lu Zhishan got out of his thought and noticed the nervous expression of the young girl . He ate the green shoots that Mu Nanzhi picked for him and answered, “Sometimes . ”

“Well . ” Mu Nanzhi felt somehow suffocated in her heart .

“She was good at making tea and her skill was no worse than the maids who specialized in making tea for emperor . She was also good at playing chess and go . She was interested in music . She seemed to be able to play all instruments .  And she played Pipa (a traditional Chinese instrument) best . By the way, she even know drinker's forfeit game . ” Lu Zhishan touched the tea cup in his hand and said in a soft voice . His eyes were full of tenderness . “She was an excellent young girl . I was not a good match for her .  Sorry for her . ”

Lu Zhishan stayed at her side in her last days . Princess Duan was happy for that period . And she didn’t have to treat her husband so cautiously . They stayed together, drinking tea, playing chess and instruments as well as creating poems . They even got drunk once, just like two old friends .  As for Lu Zhishan, he respected Princess Duan and felt sorry for her . In the following days, he had also thought that if he hadn’t went to the southwest but had stayed at capital city, he would have fall in love with the graceful girl after spending some time with her . Unfortunately, he finally lost her .

He had never ever talked about these with anyone else . He even didn’t tell those words to Song Fu, the most faithful servant of his . However, he told his true feelings to the girl who was only fifteen years old .

Seeing the gold sparrow hairpin which was s.h.i.+ning brightly, Lu Zhishan felt pretty warm in his heart .

“My sister-in-law is really a nice person . What a pity . . . ”

Mu Nanzhi felt more comfortable in her heart . She was regret to ask these questions .

“Are you full?” asked Lu Zhishan .

“Yes” Mu Nanzhi took a handkerchief from the table and lightly wiped her mouth . As she realized whose handkerchief it was, she got suddenly stunned, saying, “Cousin, just, just give it to me . I know you must have many handkerchiefs . ”
