Proofread by Claire . KK

“The imperial families of Siam and Tubo wanted marry the princesses of Dali Empire . And they asked us to compensate one hundred thousand taels of silver to each of them every year, as well as 300 sets of porcelains, two hundred pieces of silks, one hundred catties of tea and two hundred beauties . ”

Lu Zhishan held the teacup with his pupils enlarged suddenly . He didn’t open his hand until he felt pain on his knuckles after a while, “Have we confirmed who will be the princesses to marry them?”

“The Empress Dowager has chosen two daughters from the Mansion of Imperial Earl Chengyuan and Imperial Earl Dongping, who are both given birth by concubines, and they have already been appointed “Princess Heshou” . The date is scheduled on February 2 in lunar calendar . ”

At the moment, both of them were silent with their own thoughts . Duan Feihong looked at the side face of Lu Zhishan and said a moment later, “Your Highness, you are just hated by the emperor temporarily, but please don’t be depressed from now on . There will be ample time . ”

Lu Zhishan said wryly, “I am afraid, with this disabled leg, my father’s detestation will not be temporary . ”

Duan Feigong frowned, “It’s alright for you to be discouraged at this moment after suffering blow after blow . But you shouldn’t lose your heart all the time . The second prince and fourth prince are the sons of the empress and have the supports of the Empress Dowager . The third prince also has the supports of Consort Wan, who was the favorite consort of the emperor . You didn't have anyone in the imperial palace able to help you in front of the emperor . It’s hard for you to bob up if you let others defame you blindly and give up yourself as hopeless . ”

“I heard that the emperor intended to marry the daughter of Wei Family to the fourth prince as a helpmeet . Everyone can understand what his meaning is . Your Highness, please don’t be so depressed anymore . ”

“Thanks for your elaborative concerns, my father-in-law . But you don’t have to do this in the future . It’s a little late, please come back your home . ” Lu Zhishan looked to Duan Feihong without any expression on his face .

Duan Feihong went off in a huff .

Give himself up as hopeless?

He was just too tired to have any interests in everything . How pa.s.sionate he had been before; then how sluggish he was now .

Looking at the snowflake flying outside the window, Lu Zhishan felt sleepy again . He didn’t know if it because that he used to sleep badly in southwest, he felt that he couldn’t get enough sleep since he was back .

Song Fu saw a carriage stop at the gate after sending back Duan Feihong and trying to come back to the mansion . Seeing Mu Nanzhi getting off the carriage, he came to her immediately, “Infanta, you are coming . ”

“Is His Highness in?” Mu Nanzhi crouched the half of her face in the neckerchief of fox fur and only her watery eyes could be seen . With some snowflake on her thick eyelashes, she looked very beautiful, “I am coming to pay a New Year call to him . ”

“Infanta, please come in . ” Song Fu liked this little infanta very much . He asked Mu Nanzhi to enter the mansion promptly and said “His Highness is in the study . ”

“Is there any other guest?” Mu Nanzhi asked hesitantly after hearing that Lu Zhishan was in the study

“Mr . Duan left just now . There is only His Highness in the study . ”

“Mr . Duan? Is he the father-in-law of His Highness?”

“Yes . ”

“Well . ”

Walking to the door of the study, Song Fu lifted the thick curtain for Mu Nanzhi and tried to report to Lu Zhishan . But he saw Lu Zhishan leaning on the window and sleeping with the blanket on the couch . Song Fu turned round and looked at Mu Nanzhi behind embarra.s.sedly .

Mu Nanzhi also looked inside along with Song Fu’s sight . She saw that Lu Zhishan was asleep . As in home, he was dressed casually in a grey blue robe with surplice collar, his hair tied loosely with a jade hairpin and a lock of it hanging down on his chest, which made him look a little untidy but leisurely and drowsy, very different from his usual self, anyhow .

A little…good-looking .
