Sitting under the pergola, Song Fu stared at the midget crabapple which was unfolding its buds, getting lost in his thought. He recalled Princess Mu. Because every time she came here, Lu Zhishan would get pretty happy. Lu Zhishan would keep happy for a long while after her leaving and even eat more than before.
If only Princess Mu could come here regularly.
“But...”
Song Fu heaved a sigh slightly. The marriage between Princess Mu and little prince came to nothing, but it was supposed that emperor will arrange another marriage for her. After Princess Mu getting married, it would be more inconvenient for her to visit marquess.
‘How nice it would be if Princess Mu could marry marquess!’
The idea that came out from his mind really shook himself up. He got a bit excited and them felt that he must be out of mind. As a high-ranking princess, Mu Nanzhi wouldn’t have an ordinary people as her husband, not to mention that she was also the princess of Northern Di. Marquess suited Princess Mu well when their positions were concerned. But Princess Mu was thirteen years younger than marquess and it would be the second marriage for marquess. It was impossible for emperor to agree it. Even if he really made a such a crazy decision, Princess Mu would definitely be reluctant to marry marquess.
“Well...” Song Fu sighed louder.
What a good girl Princess Mu was! Song Fu was confused about who would be so lucky to marry her. Furthermore, he also had no idea if his marquess could get married soon as he was going to be thirty years old and still had no kids..
Du Heng immediately noticed the sad expression on Song Fu’s face as he entered. He then walked to Song Fu and sat beside him, “Uncle Song, what happened? Why do you look so sad?”
Song didn’t know how to express his inner feelings to him. He just rubbed his hands asking, “I noticed that marquess has been upset for a long time since the Spring Festival. Do you know the reason?”
Du Heng thought and thought, replying, “I noticed it too. Maybe it’s all because General Zhao was going to leave the capital city.”
Actually, Du Heng had noticed that Lu Zhishan was in a low mood since he came back from Xihuai Mansion on the second day of the first lunar month. Then he naturally thought of the red eyes of Zhao Jingting when he left and the taut lips of Lu Zhishan. Seeing that made him feel sad too.
Song Fu nodded, “Perhaps. They have worked together on the battle field. There is no doubt that marquess doesn’t want to see him go away.”
“Yes. And Xie Lun will leave as well. Marquess must be pretty sad though he says no words about it.”
“Princess Mu haven’t been there for a long time,” murmured Song Fu.
“Princess Mu had finished her adult ceremony and she was a young lady now. Of course she is not supposed to go out so frequently. How can she come here as often as before?”
Song Fu laughed slightly saying, “I just said it off the top of my head. Don’t take it seriously.”
...
It was the third lunar month of the nineteenth year of Jiasheng.
The spring hunting was coming.
Mu Nanzhi rarely came out these days. Except entering the place to greet empress dowager and empress, she spent all her time staying at Princess Mansion. She even told servants to remove the rockery and all landscape stones out, clearing a big open space to practice horsemanship and archery specially. Though it was not so convenient as in outdoor area, she was really not supposed to show up too often or practicing together with those princes as she had come of age. Fortunately, she was good at horsemanship at a young age and had got accustomed to practising archery at backyard.
