The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi sat down in the seats of honor, Ruizhu soon brought them tea.

Concubine Su first respectfully served tea to Nan Wangyu. After he drank it and nodded slightly, she reluctantly knelt down and served tea to Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi looked at Concubine Su kneeling at her feet, and didn't think about how to embarrass her. After all, in her opinion, kneeling to others was already very insulting. This was enough to offset the fact that she sent her maid to deliberately find trouble with her in the bookstore and destroy her reputation.

So when Concubine Su handed the tea to Lu Lingxi, she took it without thinking too much, thinking that if she drank it early, the matter would be settled sooner, and she could go back to rest earlier. After all, she got up too early this morning and was busy for so long, she was really exhausted now.

But Concubine Su was unwilling to give in, and she was so naughty that she even offered tea. Lu Lingxi just touched the teacup and let go before she could hold it firmly, and the tea spilled all over her hand.

Ruizhu saw the tea spilled on her master's hand, so she rushed over, held Concubine Su's hand, and asked with concern: "Madam, are you okay? Are you burned?"

After saying that, he let go of his hand and checked Concubine Su's injuries, exclaiming, "Oh! Your hand is all burned red."

Then he raised his head and angrily said to Lu Lingxi: "My Lady Crown Princess, how could you be so vicious? You deliberately burned the Lady Concubine's hand?"

Concubine Su pretended to scold Ruizhu: "Ruizhu, stop talking nonsense. I got burned by accident. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess."

Ruizhu was scolded, but she was not afraid. She pretended to be disappointed and said, "My queen, you are too kind-hearted. You tolerate everything."

Lu Lingxi found it funny to see the two people at his feet talking back and forth, and couldn't help but sneer: "Hey, you two, this tea shouldn't be hot, right? His Royal Highness took it and drank it, and he didn't seem to feel burned. Could it be that he has thick skin and can withstand the heat?"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Su and Ruizhu at the foot were both stunned. They were surprised that Lu Lingxi dared to tease the prince in public, and they also caught the loophole of the incident. They didn't think of how to answer for a while. Lu Lingxi had bent over slightly and approached Concubine Su and continued: "Or did Ruizhu prepare the boiling water specially for me? Do you want to ruin my appearance?"

Because Lu Lingxi was relatively close to Concubine Su, she could hear her clearly without having to speak too loudly.

Although her voice was not loud, her speaking momentum was not weak at all. Not only did she expose Concubine Su's boring drama, she also changed her self-introduction to "this palace", which made Concubine Su feel a chill down her spine. She instantly realized that she had been careless and that the tricks she played were too childish.

Ruizhu saw that her master was now in a weak position, so she quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake to Lu Lingxi: "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I was too stupid. I forgot to test the water temperature when I served you tea. Please punish me, Your Highness." She kowtowed while admitting her mistake, looking very sincere.

Lu Lingxi waved her hands impatiently, took out the card of the Queen, and said nonchalantly: "Shut up! Stop making noise! ​​It wasn't me you burned, why are you asking me for forgiveness? Go ask your master for forgiveness."

After saying that, he extended his hand in a very stylish manner. Liu Lu immediately understood and stepped forward to respectfully help Lu Lingxi stand up. Lu Lingxi was very satisfied with Liu Lu's understanding. He nodded to her quietly, affirming her cleverness, and then said: "Since Concubine Su is not ready to offer tea to me, let's do it another day. I am tired and need to go back to rest."

Nan Wangyu was still in shock. He thought Lingxi was still young and lived a simple life. She didn't understand the twists and turns of the harem and would be completely clueless and unable to cope with these things. Unexpectedly, she handled it with ease. Not only did she see through Concubine Su's tricks, but she also said a few words that Concubine Su couldn't refute. His Lingxi was indeed smart.

Lu Lingxi was about to leave, and Nan Wangyu quickly stood up and said, "Lingxi, I..."

He was originally going to go with Lu Lingxi, but before he could finish his words, Lu Lingxi hurriedly said: "Hey! Your Highness, there's no need to see me off. I know the way. You can stay and take a good look at Concubine Su's injuries. What if she is really hurt?" Then he took Chunhong and Liulu and slipped away as soon as possible.

Lu Lingxi walked out quickly while praising himself for his cleverness in his heart. He had been worrying about how to avoid the wedding night, but now, it was solved with just one sentence. Yay!

Nan Wangyu looked at Lu Lingxi's back as he ran faster than a rabbit, smiled helplessly, and did not immediately chase after him. Instead, he looked at Concubine Su's hand and asked indifferently, "Is your hand really burned?"

When Concubine Su heard Nan Wangyu ask this, she thought he was worried about her, so she immediately started to act again. She stretched out her left hand weakly and said, "Brother Yu, look, it's all red and it hurts."

Nan Wangyu didn't feel sorry for Concubine Su's weakness, and said in a cold voice: "You really got burned. In the future, you should learn to be smarter and stop playing these boring tricks. It's you who got burned today, so you should bear it yourself. If you burned Lingxi, it wouldn't end so well like this."

He turned around and was about to leave. Concubine Su called out from behind, "Brother Yu, it's not like that. I didn't do anything cunning. I was just careless and didn't behave properly."

Nan Wangyu really turned back because of Concubine Su's words, but he didn't believe her words of 'carelessness', but said something that made Concubine Su even more heartbroken, "You don't need to call me Brother Wu Yu in the future. You are my concubine now, and you should respectfully call me Your Highness the Crown Prince. You must understand that I only let you into the mansion because of my teacher, Grand Tutor Su, so don't get the wrong idea. You should be more restrained in your daily behavior and don't let your teacher's reputation be affected."

This time, after saying this, Nan Wangyu really left without looking back.

Concubine Su was left alone on the ground, heartbroken, murmuring, "Brother Yu, I love you so much, you can't do this to me."

Lu Lingxi and the other two in front walked out of the Yilan Palace and walked forward quickly, as if there were a flood or a beast chasing them from behind.

The three of them walked forward quickly, and Liu Lu was able to spare some energy to praise, "Miss, you were really amazing just now. You silenced that Concubine Su with just a few words. Especially when you called yourself this concubine, you really acted very pretentiously."

Lu Lingxi was quite proud: "Of course not, it means that my reading of the book was not in vain, I learned the essence of it."

After Lu Lingxi finished being proud, he did not forget to ask Liu Lu: "Didn't you say Chunhong was captured by Concubine Su? How did she escape again?"

Liu Lu looked at Chun Hong: "Yes, Chun Hong, I saw you being arrested with my own eyes. How did you escape on your own? If you could escape, why didn't you come earlier? You almost caused Miss to be caught by Concubine Su."

Chunhong: "I was also surprised. They captured me so violently and tied me up immediately, but they didn't ask any questions or torture me. They just threw me aside and released me through a side door after a while. When I returned to Changqiu Palace, I saw that the young lady... oh no, I should call her the Crown Princess now, and Liu Lu were not there. I realized that you might have come to Concubine Su's place to look for me, so I came here immediately."

Chunhong thought for a moment and said, "Now that I think about it, I have a rough idea. Concubine Su deliberately wanted to lure Your Majesty over to ask for someone. It happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was there, so she turned around and said that Your Majesty was deliberately making things difficult for her."

"Yeah, that makes sense, but I'm not used to you all of a sudden calling me empress. I'm only sixteen, and I feel a lot older all of a sudden."

Liu Lu teased, "Your Majesty, your focus is a little off. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you used to my maid calling you a few more times?"
