The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

The next day, it was another early morning wake-up call. In the past, Chunhong would always wake Lu Lingxi up, but now it was Nan Wangyu's turn.

Chunhong knew that Lu Lingxi was a little grumpy when she woke up, so she always called her with the softest voice and the warmest smile. Although waking up early made her feel bad, as the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. When she opened her eyes and saw Chunhong smiling so beautifully, she lost her temper.

Nan Wangyu's wake-up call today was not very good, which made Lu Lingxi even more angry. He didn't care whether Lu Lingxi had slept enough or was still immersed in a sweet dream. He patted her cheek and said loudly: "Lingxi, wake up, it's the morning hour, it's time to get up."

Lu Lingxi woke up from a happy weekend with an ice cream in one hand and the TV remote control in the other, feeling extremely depressed.

The key is that the TV in the dream is the climax moment of the male and female protagonists, which she has been looking forward to for a long time. Although she has not watched the drama, the plot may be made up by herself in the dream, but the male and female protagonists are both handsome men and beautiful women that she likes, and she knows that the next moment will definitely be the long-awaited plot point.

Therefore, Lu Lingxi looked at Nan Wangyu with a bit of resentment. Although he knew that he couldn't know that he was dreaming and didn't mean to interrupt, his tone was still a bit unhappy: "What's going on today? You have to get up so early?"

Nan Wangyu could tell that Lu Lingxi sounded a little unhappy, and understood that she might not have gotten enough sleep, so he softened his tone, "Today is the first day that the concubines in the mansion will formally greet you and offer you tea."

Lu Lingxi had just gotten up halfway when he lay back down again, with a look of despair, complaining: "Why are you serving tea again? These few days in the Prince's Mansion, I've been serving tea every day and nothing else."

Nan Wangyu smiled helplessly and comforted him: "This is the etiquette they should observe, and it also shows their respect for you."

"It's just superficial respect, but it doesn't matter. They come to serve tea, and I have to get up early to wait for them. Why bother?"

"If you are not used to getting up early, after today you can just ask them to greet you twice on the first and fifteenth day of every month."

Nan Wangyu smiled and pulled up Lu Lingxi, who was still lying on the bed, and gave her some advice.

After Lu Lingxi sat up, he heard this, turned around and unconsciously grabbed Nan Wangyu's arm, and said: "I heard that if the mistress asks, it can be waived directly, right? Should I just say that the greeting ceremony is waived, and there will be no such thing in the future?"

Nan Wangyu poked Lu Lingxi's forehead helplessly, "Lingxi, what are you thinking about? Twice a month, greetings are already too little. As the mistress of the house, it is your duty to discipline the people in the backyard. The greetings are your best chance to establish your authority and discipline the backyard. If no one greets, how will you convey your ideas? Go to them one by one? Besides, there must be a reason to cancel the greetings, right?"

"I don't want to control them, nor do I want to establish any authority. Their jealousy has nothing to do with me, and there is nothing to convey. I can just say that I am not feeling well and ask them not to disturb me while I am recuperating. How about canceling the greeting ceremony?"

Nan Wangyu almost laughed out of anger, "Lingxi, you can't be so lazy. Think about it, if you claim to be sick and don't go out, you should look sick. You can't go out of the main door, you can't go out of the second door, let alone leave the house. Won't you get sick if you hold it in for too long? If you can't help but go out for a walk, how are you going to explain it to others?"

Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty and said, "I... as a mistress, do I need to explain to them?"

"In a high position, you must be upright to win the support of the people. If you cannot win the support of the people, there will be more unnecessary troubles. If you really don't like being in charge, the housekeeping can continue to be handed over to Concubine Shang. You only need to sit quietly and listen every time when you pay respects. You don't need to bother yourself."

Lu Lingxi felt that what Nan Wangyu said made some sense, so let’s just leave it that way for now.

So he nodded and said, "Okay." Then he got up and put on his clothes.

After the two of them had packed up, Nan Wangyu accompanied Lu Lingxi to the door of the reception room of Changqiu Palace. Nan Wangyu said to Lu Lingxi: "Okay, Lingxi, I won't go in with you. You go in."

Lu Lingxi turned around and asked Nan Wangyu in surprise: "Don't you have to go in? Aren't we supposed to accept their tea together? Or are you going to start busying yourself with official duties after only two days of marriage?"

Nan Wangyu smiled and said, "I haven't had any official duties during this period. After all, we are newly married, and my father asked me to stay at home with you for half a month. According to etiquette, you are the only one who can drink this concubine's tea, and I don't have to drink it."

Lu Lingxi subconsciously said: "You don't have to drink, you can also stay by the side, it's so weird to leave me alone."

Nan Wangyu really liked the fact that Lu Lingxi subconsciously showed his dependence on him. He was in a very good mood and moved closer to Lu Lingxi. He deliberately lowered his voice and said ambiguously: "Lingxi, we have only been apart for a short while, and you are reluctant to leave me? Don't worry, after this is over, I will accompany you to visit the garden and take you to familiarize yourself with our home. I promise that we won't be apart for too long."

Lu Lingxi was really frightened by the man in front of him, who whispered from time to time. Why did this man always act like a playboy? He didn't care if there were others present. Wouldn't he be embarrassed? So he quickly quickened his pace and took Chunhong and Liulu into the main hall.

Nan Wangyu looked at Lu Lingxi's leaving back and felt very happy. He thought to himself: Lingxi looks so cute when she's shy!

Before Lu Lingxi entered the main hall, Chunhong loudly announced to the hall: "The Crown Princess is here!"

When everyone in the hall heard the announcement, they all stood up, waited for Lu Lingxi to take a seat, and then saluted her.

When Lu Lingxi walked into the main hall, he saw that the scene inside was quite spectacular. With the empty space in the middle as the boundary, there were two rows of beautiful women on each side, a total of four rows, with about ten people in each row. The hall of about 300 square meters was filled with seats, and it was still full.

She suddenly understood why Nan Wangyu didn't come with her. Maybe he was afraid that she would not be able to help but tease him on the spot if she really saw this scene. But even if Nan Wangyu was not here, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but complain about him in her heart: This guy is really good. Even if he sleeps with a different one every day, he can sleep for more than a month without repeating the same thing. But then again, among so many beauties, none of them got pregnant. Does he have any hidden illness?

Now is not the time to think about these questions. When Lu Lingxi took her seat, the woman closest to her on the left led everyone to salute and said, "I, along with the concubines from the Crown Prince's Mansion, pay my respects to the Crown Princess!"

Then they all said in unison: "May your Majesty the Crown Princess live in peace and happiness!"

There was an unwilling but familiar voice from the lower right. Lu Lingxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Concubine Su, who had come into the mansion on the same day as her and had already offered tea to her. Although she could hear Concubine Su's reluctance and disrespect, she didn't think much of it and looked away in an instant.

Turning to look at the person on the left who had just taken the lead in the salute, this person had combed her black hair meticulously, and the hair accessories adorned it were rich but not too heavy and dazzling. The contours of her facial features were tougher than those of an average weak woman, but not too tough. The clothes she wore were also simple and generous. At first glance, she was a smart and capable person.

Lu Lingxi thought: This person is in such a prominent position and has a certain prestige, so she must be Concubine Shang who has been in charge of the backyard affairs in the Prince's Mansion.
