The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi didn't stay in Diecui Pavilion for long before returning to Changqiu Palace for dinner.

After dinner, the two rested and chatted for a while, then washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Today, before going to bed, the two of them saved the time they had spent discussing how to allocate beds yesterday. When they were the only two left in the bedroom, Lu Lingxi went to lie down on the bed first, and Nan Wangyu consciously spread the mat on the floor and covered it with two quilts.

Lu Lingxi said politely: "Good night!"

Nan Wangyu replied without thinking: "Sweet dreams!"

After he got back to the bed, Nan Wangyu finally realized what was going on. He sighed. It was only the third night that he and Lingxi had slept together, and they already had such a tacit understanding? Should he try to sleep on the bed again?

Nan Wangyu sat up and saw Lu Lingxi lying on the bed with his eyes closed and breathing evenly, seeming to have fallen asleep. He couldn't help but sigh that Lingxi's speed of falling asleep was really unusual. Then he lay back down silently.

Silent all night.

On the second day, Lu Lingxi woke up without being called. Maybe she was a little excited to go back to her parents' home today. She sat on the bed and wanted to kick Nan Wangyu's butt to wake him up. But she felt that this was not polite, so she squatted down, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "Hey! Your Highness, wake up, it's time to get up."

Nan Wangyu was half asleep when he saw that it was Lu Lingxi who was calling him. He reached out and touched the top of Lu Lingxi's head as if he was a child, and coaxed him, "Be good! Lingxi, let me sleep a little longer."

Seeing Nan Wangyu treating him like a child, Lu Lingxi felt unhappy. He stood up and said, "Okay! You should have a good rest. I will go back to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion by myself and tell Dad that you have official business to attend to."

Nan Wangyu glanced at the sky outside the window, it was still dark, guessing it was still early. He advised: "Lingxi, why did you get up so early today? I have already arranged everything for the return trip yesterday. We are not far from my father-in-law, so there is no need to get up so early."

"It's getting late now, it's almost Mao time. You woke up at Mao time the past two days, and it didn't seem like you didn't get enough sleep, did you?"

Nan Wangyu sat up, sighed, and said helplessly: "Alas! Because you snored last night, I didn't sleep well the whole night."

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi paused while taking clothes from the closet, turned around and said with a guilty conscience: "You are talking nonsense. Although I am a little dishonest when I sleep, I never snore. At most, I kick my legs and wave my hands or something like that."

Nan Wangyu just smiled and said nothing. Of course he was teasing Lingxi. She was very self-aware. She did not snore, but the noise she made when she kicked her legs was really loud. He was indeed woken up by her several times last night.

Nan Wangyu's smiling but silent look made Lu Lingxi's heart beat fast. Did she really snore when she slept?

Forget it. Now is not the time to dwell on this issue. She thought for a while and said, "How about you cheer yourself up, clean up and wash up, and then take a nap in the carriage later?"

Nan Wangyu didn't want to tease Lu Lingxi anymore, fearing that he might really make her angry, so he readily replied, "Okay!"

The two of them packed up, and before leaving, Ruizhu came to Changqiu Palace to ask to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, saying that her concubine Su had gotten up early this morning and was waiting for His Royal Highness to go back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion with her to meet His Royal Highness's teacher.

Lu Lingxi looked at Ruizhu in front of him calmly. Did Concubine Su really regard him as her mortal enemy? She had been causing trouble for him time and again, even fighting with him for the day of her return home.

Then she looked at Nan Wangyu with some anger. It was because of this man that she suffered this inexplicable hatred. If he really chose her childhood sweetheart today, even if I was the only one left, I would go back home today. As the legal wife, it is impossible for me to go back home after the concubine. And I will definitely report him to my father when I go back.

Nan Wangyu was also unhappy when he heard Ruizhu's words. His face darkened and he said in a stiff tone: "Go back and tell Concubine Su that there is no need to use the teacher to pressure me. The teacher is the most respectful of etiquette and knows the order of respect. Also, tell her not to worry too much. I will accompany her back home on the 21st."

On the twenty-first, that is, three days later, Ruizhu wanted to say something else, but she saw Nan Wangyu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light in his eyes, and she immediately shut up and dared not say anything more.

Seeing Ruizhu shut up, Nan Wangyu ignored her and pulled Lu Lingxi out.

Lu Lingxi was quite satisfied that Nan Wangyu chose to go back home with her first, so when Nan Wangyu asked to lean on her and take a nap in the carriage, she readily agreed.

In fact, Nan Wangyu was not very sleepy at the moment, but when he leaned on Lu Lingxi, he smelled a faint warm and sweet fragrance at the tip of his nose. It smelled good and soothing, and he actually fell asleep.

When the carriage arrived in front of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, Lu Lingxi gently pushed Nan Wangyu: "Wake up, we're here."

Nan Wangyu sat up straight, unable to believe that she had really fallen asleep. Seeing Lu Lingxi rubbing her right shoulder, she quickly went over to help her gently pinch it a few times: "Is it numb? Let me rub it for you. Next time, if it makes you uncomfortable, just wake me up. You don't have to endure it."

There will be a next time? She didn't want there to be a next time. Lu Lingxi didn't know how to answer, so she didn't answer and just said, "Let's get off the carriage."

Nan Wangyu replied, "Okay!" Then he opened the carriage door, got off the carriage first, and reached out to support Lu Lingxi from under the carriage.

After Lu Lingxi got out of the carriage, he walked down the steps set up by the servants, stepped down from the carriage, and headed straight for the gate of the marquis' mansion, without paying any attention to Funan Wangyu's hand.

Nan Wangyu withdrew his hand with some disappointment and followed Lu Lingxi's steps.

As Lu Lingxi knocked on the door, he wondered, "Dad, doesn't he know that I'm coming back today? Why didn't he come out early to wait for me? Or is there a rule when I come back this time that I have to knock on the door myself and can't come out early to wait for me?"

When the knock on the door was heard, the servant came to open it immediately. Everyone in the mansion knew that today was the big day when the young lady would return home. After the servant opened the door, he immediately went to report that the young lady had arrived.

Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu followed the servant who opened the door and entered the main hall.

After a while, the housekeeper Uncle Wei came, but neither Lu Yi nor Lu Yugang came out.

Lu Lingxi asked in confusion: "Uncle Wei, where are Daddy and Brother? Why don't they come out? Don't they welcome me back?"

Uncle Wei: "How could the master and the young master not welcome you home, young lady? It's just that they haven't woken up yet."

"Not awake yet? I remember that Dad and brother usually get up early."

Uncle Wei said mysteriously, "Yesterday was a special day. Both the master and the young master drank too much. The master was fine. He got enough sleep and he's fine now. But the young master rarely drinks. He's still having a strong aftereffect right now. He's still vomiting and complaining about a headache."

"What special day was yesterday? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Yesterday was the day when Prime Minister Gu came to our house to propose marriage. The marriage between Master Yugang and Miss Yan'er was finally settled."

Speaking of this, Uncle Wei couldn't contain his joy. He could say that he had watched both the young lady and the young master grow up, just like his own children. Now that the rest of their lives have been settled, he could be considered to have completed his mission.
