"Your riding and shooting skills are already pretty good. I heard that many nobles are not as good as you," Lu Zhishan also smiled, paused and then said casually, "You just said that the fourth prince rewarded you with the leg of lamb?"
"Yes, the Fourth Prince got a lot from hunting this autumn. There was a yellow sheep, two foxes, and a small deer. In addition, there were seven or eight scattered prey. By the way, the Fourth Prince saw him later. The fawn was released because he was pitiful. Everyone said that the fourth prince was benevolent, and Long live the Lord even gave him many things..." Mu Nanzhi suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said, and took a sneak peek. Lu Zhishan glanced at him and saw that his expression was as usual before he continued, "Oh, the leg of lamb was sent to Princess Heshuo's mansion by the Fourth Prince after he returned to Beijing."
Lu Zhishan was a little surprised. Lu Zhiyue actually gave Mu Nanzhi a leg of lamb in private. This was really abnormal. Firstly, Lu Zhiyue had a distinguished status, so there was no need to fawn over Mu Nanzhi, who was actually a hostage. An exotic princess, and secondly, Mu Nanzhi was already betrothed to someone else, and his unmarried cousin should avoid suspicion.
…
"Cousin, you wait for the spring hunting next year. I will hunt a yellow sheep myself and give you all four legs by then." Mu Nanzhi held his chin in his hands, and his pink lips that kept opening and closing were like swaying in the spring breeze. Peach blossom.
Lu Zhishan stared at Mu Nanzhi's coquettish behavior and suddenly felt frightened. Lu Zhiyue was afraid that he had such thoughts towards the girl. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay, then I can Waiting."
"By the way, cousin, are the leg of lamb and venison delicious?"
"It tastes good," Lu Zhishan took a sip of tea slowly, "but I didn't dare to eat the venison and lamb legs you brought for two days, so they are not too fresh."
Mu Nanzhi frowned and said in confusion: "Then why don't you eat it while it's fresh? Lamb legs and venison must be eaten fresh. Why don't you eat such good yellow sheep and venison while they're fresh? Brother, you are too wasteful."
Lu Zhishan smiled enigmatically: "Aren't I afraid that you will ask for it back again?"
Mu Nanzhi: “…”
Lu Zhishan couldn't help laughing.
Mu Nanzhi blushed and moved his eyes away in a hurry, saying bitterly: "I will never pay attention to Butler Song again!"
Lu Zhishan's eyes turned into lines with laughter. He took a sip from the tea cup and asked, "Did the young prince of the Zhongyuan Hou family also go to the autumn hunt this time?"
"I didn't go. I heard that Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou was unwell, so the young prince stayed at the Hou Mansion to attend to her illness." Mu Nanzhi was afraid that Lu Zhishan would drink herbal tea, so he took the cup from his hand and gave him a refill. I bought hot tea and stuffed it into his hand, "But it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. He can't hunt anything anyway, and he's very tired after a wasted trip."
Lu Zhishan took the tea cup and held it in his hands, looking at Mu Nanzhi with raised eyebrows: "Does the Lord dislike the young prince?"
"I'm not happy," Mu Nanzhi blurted out. She always felt relaxed and casual in front of Lu Zhishan, and she didn't feel embarrassed to say such words. When she thought of Lu Zhinian's slim appearance, Mu Nanzhi flattened her mouth. With a look of displeasure, he said, "He is not as tall as a horse, and is a little shorter than me. He has to be helped up and down the horse. Yesterday at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, he sat at the table opposite me and just drank a cup of cypress leaves." I coughed for a while because of the alcohol. I looked at him like a porcelain doll and I didn’t dare to speak loudly to him.”
