Princess too Young, Prince too Old

Chapter 20: Spring hunting

Views:

Lu Mingwei was also worried about this, but to unplug this intertwined family, he had to involve the royal family. If the royal family was restless, his throne would naturally be unstable. This was something he absolutely couldn't bear. Lu Mingwei Zhishan's bravery and perseverance once made Lu Mingwei very happy, but this comfort has now been completely worn away.

As in previous years, as Lu Mingwei drew his bow in the air, a group of nobles and ladies immediately rushed into the jungle on horseback.

Lu Mingwei didn't move. He was riding on the horse, squinting at the eagle passing over the sky. He was no longer young. Forty-seven years old was actually not old. He was just working hard on paperwork for so many years. Over time, his body was inevitably weakened. Just now he was just bending the bow and setting an arrow, but now he felt that half of his body was sore and numb.

"Father, is the dragon physically unwell?" The fourth prince Lu Zhiyue turned his horse's head and returned to Lu Mingwei, asking with concern, "Do you want the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"

Lu Mingwei looked at the cautious expression on his son's face and shook his head: "No, I will just go back to the tent and rest for a while."

"I will accompany my father back there to rest." Lu Zhiyue said with a sigh of relief.

Lu Mingwei raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhiyue calmly: "The plan for the year lies in spring, wouldn't it be a pity for Yue'er not to try for a good fortune today?"

Lu Zhiyue hurriedly shook his head: "My father has been working hard for the country all day long, and my sons and ministers can't help me. At this time, I naturally want to serve my father."

"It's good that you are so sensible and obedient." Lu Mingwei praised.

"My father is so complimentary, but my son has not done enough."

The father and son rode back to their tent.

Two hours later, people returned to the camp one after another. Lu Mingwei also came to rest. On a whim, he sat in front of the tent and looked at the harvest of the nobles with great interest. Most of them were hares, pheasants, foxes and pigeons. Only The third prince Lu Zhihe shot a yellow sheep, and Lu Mingwei praised him. He then rewarded Lu Zhihe with his bow and arrows, and also rewarded Wan Guifei with a jade Ruyi and two coral bracelets. Lu Zhihe was delighted. Unable to help himself, Lu Zhiyue hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. Lu Zhiyue frowned and looked at the half-human tall yellow sheep, thinking in his heart whether he could hunt such a big yellow sheep if he ended up in this situation.

The ladies here are even less interesting. Although all of them are wearing decent riding clothes, most of them return empty-handed. The purpose of their coming to participate in the spring hunt today is to make a good impression in front of the Queen and the Emperor. Instead of shouting and fighting, if you are called a shrew, it will be difficult to get married in the future, so in addition to the Linglong Princess Lu Zhichan who was born to Concubine Li, she hunted two hares and three pheasants. , Mu Nanzhi hunted a white fox and two pheasants, but others had nothing to gain.

Lu Zhichan is the eldest princess of Long Live. She is one year older than Mu Nanzhi. She has a bold and informal nature and is loved by Long Live. In addition to Princess Linglong, Concubine Li also has the fifth son of the emperor, Lu Zhicheng, but Lu Zhicheng is only ten years old this year. , not yet old enough to participate in hunting.

Lu Mingwei rewarded Lu Zhichan and Mu Nanzhi with an imperial riding whip respectively. The fourth prince Lu Zhiyue took the riding whip and delivered it to them personally. Princess Linglong smiled and joked with Lu Zhiyue a few words before turning her head. Then he walked away. Mu Nanzhi and Lu Zhiyue were not familiar with each other, so they bowed politely.
