Lu Zhiyue clenched his fists and tried hard to suppress his overwhelming heart.
"Tell Mr. Xu that our affairs may have to be advanced." Lu Zhiyue said to the personal guard in a cold voice.
The guard was startled: "Your Highness, have you made up your mind? No need to discuss it with the Queen again?"
Lu Zhiyue shook his head: "No need."
"Yes, I understand."

Mu Nanzhi came in a sedan when he entered the palace, but when he met Lu Zhishan, he was naturally not willing to sit in the sedan again. He just looked at Lu Zhishan's slightly lame feet and hesitated: "Explain." Brother, how is your leg?"
Lu Zhishan smiled and patted his thigh: "As long as my daughter doesn't let me go around the city three times, it should be fine."
"Why do I ask you to circle the city three times? Why don't I have the reputation of a shrew before I even get through the door?" Mu Nanzhi laughed, paused, and said again , "It's just that since my cousin has convenient legs and feet, why not let's go for a walk together. I haven't gone shopping with my cousin yet."
Lu Zhishan curled his lips: "Doesn't last year's Lantern Festival also count?"
"Of course that doesn't count. He was sneaking around in the dark, of course..." Mu Nanzhi immediately blushed again. He was so busy that he pretended to cough twice and awkwardly changed the subject, "Cousin, have you had lunch?"
Lu Zhishan shook his head: "After having breakfast, we entered the palace. After talking to the officials of the Ministry of Rites for nearly two hours, I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back."
"Then let's go to Juxianlou. The Jiangnan cuisine made by Juxianlou is famous throughout the capital. It's the time to eat winter bamboo shoots. Let's go and try something fresh. I happened to be at the Queen Mother's place and I wasn't full either. Mu Nanzhi murmured as he walked, then looked at Lu Zhishan curiously, "Cousin, don't you ever get involved in government affairs? Why did you stay at the Ministry of Rites for so long today?"
Lu Zhishan did not answer Mu Nanzhi's words, but instead asked with a smile: "Then what are you doing in the palace today?"
Mu Nanzhi was startled, then blushed and whispered: "Didn't I just say that I would enter the palace to have lunch with the Queen Mother?"
Lu Zhishan said nothing and looked at Mu Nanzhi with a look as if he had seen through the essence of the matter. When Mu Nanzhi was stared at like this, grass grew in his heart, his face turned redder and his head lowered. , and even his voice became softer: "The wedding date was set, I entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took the opportunity to stay with me and have lunch in Shoukang Palace."
Lu Zhishan said with a smile: "No wonder my daughter is dressed so formally today. Is this pearly head exhausted?"
"Isn't it?" Mu Nanzhi immediately threw all shyness away, pointing to the complicated bun on his head and complained to Lu Zhishan, "Cousin, you don't know how long it took to comb this double-knife bun. The time is so tight that my scalp hurts, and I have to carry a head of Bu Yao Zhu Cui, which is crushing me to death. "
Lu Zhishan looked at her wrinkled little face and said with some distress: "Then why don't I send you back home to change clothes first."
Mu Nanzhi shook his head hastily: "No, now I want to go to Juxian Tower with my cousin to eat winter bamboo shoots."
Lu Zhishan smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go eat winter bamboo shoots."
As Lu Zhishan said, he stopped. Mu Nanzhi was startled and stopped with him. He was about to ask Lu Zhishan what he wanted to do, but saw Lu Zhishan stretched out his hand and cautiously Lu Zhishan took off the bun and the pearl hairpin from her bun. Lu Zhishan's movements were very gentle. Mu Nanzhi didn't feel any pain at all. She suddenly felt that her head was much more relaxed, and she felt very sweet. It was warm, she stroked her forehead and smiled shyly at Lu Zhishan.
