Princess too Young, Prince too Old Chapter 20

Proofread by Claire . KK

Same as the previous years, all the boys and girls rushed into the jungle by their horses as Lu Mingwei drew a bow to the sky .

Lu Mingwei didn’t move . Sitting on the horse, he squinted at the eagle flying across the sky . He was no longer young . Actually, it was not old with the age of forty seven . But because he had been busy with the state affairs for years, his body inevitably became weak . He just drew the bow for effect, but actually now he felt that half of his body was limp and numb badly .

“Your Majesty, are you ok?” The fourth prince Lu Zhiyue turned the horse around and came back to Lu Mingwei, asking with concerns . “Is it necessary to call the imperial physician?”

Lu Mingwei measured the cautious expression on his son's face and shook his head, “No . I will be ok after a rest in the tent . ”

“Well, I will accompany father to go back to have a rest . ” Lu Zhiyue said with a sense of relief .

Lu Mingwei raised his brows and looked at Lu Zhiyue calmly, “Spring is the best time to do everything for a year . Is it a pity for you if not making a good start today? ”

Lu Zhiyue shook his head immediately, “You are always busy with the state affairs, but I cannot help you with anything else . I am definitely willing to attend upon you . ”

“Good, you are so thoughtful and obedient . ” Lu Mingwei said approvingly .

“You’ve overpraised me, Father . I’m still far away from that . ”

They came back to the tent by horses .

…

Four hours later, there were some people back to the camping place successively . Lu Mingwei recovered as well . He sat in front of the tent at a whim and looked at the achievements of the boys with interests . Most of the prey was hares, pheasants, foxes and pigeons . Only the third prince Lu Zhihe shot a Mongolian gazelle, which win him much praise from Lu Mingwei . He awarded his bow to Lu Zhihe and gave Consort Wan a jade Ruyi with moral of auspiciousness and two coral bracelets . Lu Zhihe was so glad that he kowtowed to express his gratitude immediately . Lu Zhiyue frowned to look at the Mongolian gazelle up to the waist of a man and wondered whether he also could hunt such a big one if he went with them .

The prey of the girls were much worse . Even dressed up with beautiful riding suits, most of them were back without anything . Their purposes to attend this spring hunting were to leave a good impression on the emperor and empress, not to behave noisily and crassly . It would be difficult for them to marry well if getting a title of hellcat . As a result, except Princess Linglong named Lu Zhichan born by Consort Li, who got two hares and three pheasants, and Mu Nanzhi who got one arctic fox and two pheasants, none of the others got anything .

Lu Zhichan was the eldest princess of the emperor, who was one year older than Mu Nanzhi . Being forthright and easygoing, she was loved by the emperor very much . Except Princess Linglong, Consort Li also had a son, the fifth prince Lu Zhicheng, who was only ten years old, too young to attend the hunting .

Lu Mingwei awarded Lu Zhichan and Mu Nanzhi each a horsewhip . Fourth prince Lu Zhiyue fetched the whips and handed them to the two girls . Princess Linglong talked to Lu Zhiyue banteringly and directly walked away after turning around . Mu Nanzhi was not familiar with Lu Zhiyue, so that she bowed to pay her respect to him politely .
