Princess too Young, Prince too Old
Chapter 18
Proofread by Claire.KK
Mu Nanzhi shook her hand to let Song Fu put down the curtain and walked to the porch quietly with him. She stopped and took out a red lucky packet from her sleeve, saying to him, “I cannot go to trouble Your Highness, now that he is asleep. This is the lucky packet I got from Baohua temple this morning. Please give it to him when he wakes up.”
Song Fu bowed to take the lucky packet quickly with his hands, “Thanks for your highness’ consideration.”
“Not at all. It’s just a lucky packet. And I prayed for one lucky packet for each of the princes and princesses. ” Mu Nanzhi patted the snow off her clothes and went outside. She turned around suddenly and asked Song Fu, “By the way, what’s the incense in His Highness’ room? It’s faint but refreshing. And I didn’t see the censer in the room. ”
Song Fu replied, “Infanta, it’s the incense made from black agilawood awarded by His Majesty.”
Mu Nanzhi was startled, “This is the smell of the black agilawood? I’ve never seen it before, but just heard from others. It’s really good.”
Black agilawood was also called lignum aquilariae resinatum, which was one of the best incense in the world. It was also named eaglewood. Different from other incenses, it was not crushed incense powder but was dendritic. Placed in the room, a branch of incense wood could give off a pleasant smell, instead of being burnt in a censer. As the best incense wood, black agilawood diffused fragrance that could last for a long time, and a branch of it could be used for hundreds of years. It was really a great treasure, not made in Li State but the specialty of Siam. Even in Siam, it was also very rare that only one to two catties of top black agilawood could be produced every year, let alone those which could be sent to Dali Empire. What was more, since Siam declared war on Dali Empire, black agilawood became more priceless. It was said that just a small piece could value millions of gold, which was not less worthwhile than ambergris.
It could be seen that how much the emperor loved Lu Zhishan before.
Mu Nanzhi sat in the carriage with mixed emotions uncontrollably arising in her heart. Now everyone knew that the fourth prince Lu Zhiyue born by the empress was the favorite son of the emperor, who also got a lot of rewards constantly. However, Mu Nanzhi felt that the grace the emperor granted to the fourth prince was less than a tenth of what he did to Lu Zhishan before.
“Cousin, such a pity.”
…
Lu Zhishan had a good sleep, and he didn’t wake up until it was getting dark. Song Fu came in immediately and sent a cup of tea to him; then he took out the lucky packet to put it on the table and said to Lu Zhishan, “Infanta came to pay a New Year call to you in the afternoon, but you were asleep at that moment. She didn't want me to wake you up and came back with this lucky packet left. ”
Lu Zhishan laid down the cup and put the lucky packet in his hand, which was red, small, with a small seal character “Fu” in the front which was embroidered with gold thread. It looked small but heart-warming, which made him smile unconsciously.
Song Fu knew that Lu Zhishan was glad. He said promptly, “Infanta got it from Baohua Temple in the early morning. It’s said that people that prayed in Baohua Temple are always answered. ”
Lu Zhishan didn’t say a word. He opened the lucky packet and shook it reversedly; then two plum blossoms and a slip of paper fell out.
As his fingers were bigger than common, Lu Zhishan unfolded the small note quite comically and difficultly--
A time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves,
I'll set my cloudlike sail to cross the sea which raves.
Lu Zhishan had a bigger smile. He folded the small note and put it into the lucky packet together with the plum blossoms.
