The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Ever since Lu Lingxi had been learning literacy and calligraphy with Master Yan in the morning, learning piano, chess and painting in the afternoon, and occasionally having meals with Lu Yi in the evening, his days had been very fulfilling. Time passed quickly, nearly a month had passed, and Lu Lingxi's injuries had healed completely.

Today, Lu Yi suddenly wanted to see the results of Lu Lingxi's recent studies, so he came to Lu Lingxi's study room after leaving the court. Looking through the window, Lu Lingxi was seriously copying the contents of the book, and her sitting posture was also very upright and elegant. Master Yan was explaining the contents of the book they were copying at the desk. The two maids who served Lu Lingxi also studied very seriously. At first, Lu Yi was worried that the little girls would just play around and not study seriously, but it seemed that he was worrying too much.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi was very satisfied and could not bear to disturb her, so he returned to his study. Before handling official business, he instructed his personal servant Gu An: "When the young lady finishes school, go and ask Master Yan to come over. Ask Master Yan to bring the calligraphy that the young lady has practiced in recent days."

Gu An replied respectfully: "Yes, sir, I will go now."

"Yeah, let's go."

It was almost time for lunch, and Master Yan came to Lu Yi's study. Lu Yi put down the documents in his hand, walked out of the desk, and made a "please" gesture with his right hand, "Mr. Yan, please take a seat."

Master Yan bowed to Lu Yi and said, "General, you are too polite. Please go in first."

After both of them sat down, Lu Yi said frankly, "I invited Mr. Yan here today. First of all, I want to thank Master Yan for his careful teaching of my daughter Lingxi in recent times. You should know that none of the teachers I found for my daughter before you could patiently teach her for such a long time. They all say that my daughter is a rotten tree that cannot be carved. But I think Master Yan has been teaching my daughter for nearly a month and she is quite well behaved. I really want to thank you."

Master Yan said modestly: "General, you are joking. The young lady is very studious and motivated. She can recite many articles by heart after listening to them once, and can also understand the main idea of ​​the articles. She is very smart."

Lu Yi felt very proud when he heard Master Yan praise Lu Lingxi, but he still said modestly: "Really? She is just a little smart, and it's all thanks to your good teaching, Master."

Master Yan forced a smile and said, "General, this is the calligraphy that the young lady practiced today. Please take a look." As he spoke, Master Yan respectfully handed over a few sheets of rolled rice paper with both hands.

Lu Yi said with a smile, "Okay, okay." He also took the rice paper with both hands.

Lu Yi slowly unfolded the rice paper. His smiling expression could not be maintained for a moment. He smiled awkwardly at Master Yan and turned to the next piece of rice paper. His expression became worse and worse. He had just praised Lu Lingxi for being serious, smart, studious and motivated, but now she handed in such an assignment.

After reading Lu Lingxi's masterpiece on the rice paper, Lu Yi said angrily, "Is this little girl pretending to be serious with me again? She is just trying to fool me for a long time. Her writing is getting worse and worse. I am so angry. Mr. Yan, please wait a moment. I will be back soon. I must teach her a lesson today."

Seeing that Lu Yi was about to rush out of the room, Master Yan quickly stood up and called him: "General, calm down, General, calm down, I'm afraid you misunderstood. Miss Lingxi's handwriting is getting better and better. The worst was when she first started."

After hearing what Master Yan said, Lu Yi's anger subsided a little. He turned around and said, "Oh? Is what you said true? But even if what you said is true, her handwriting is too bad. Even if I am a vulgar and rough man, I can't appreciate it."

Master Yan invited the general back to his seat and said patiently, "I heard that Miss Lingxi had a head injury some time ago and lost her memory. When she first started practicing calligraphy, she didn't even know how to hold a pen. It's true that she didn't remember anything. Everything started from scratch. It's encouraging to see her progress now. I heard from the two maids that Miss would practice calligraphy after dinner. Miss is so smart and hardworking, how can the general blame her anymore? Give Miss more time."

After hearing this, Lu Yi asked in disbelief, "Is my daughter really so hardworking? Could it be that those two girls wanted to please her and deliberately said this to you, Mr. Yan?"

"General, you worry too much. I have been teaching people to read and punctuate texts, write and calligraphy for more than 30 years. I can still tell whether the handwriting is from the same person. And although those two girls are beginners, they write well. Their handwriting is quite different from Miss Lingxi's, but it is not difficult to recognize them." Master Yan is proud of his teaching experience.

After hearing this, Lu Yi said awkwardly, "So, my daughter doesn't have much talent in calligraphy, right? She can only practice diligently? I wonder if you can also arrange some time to teach my daughter calligraphy in the afternoon?"

When Master Yan heard that Lu Yi wanted to increase Lu Lingxi's class time, he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, calligraphy should not be rushed, and one should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. I heard that Miss Lingxi studied calligraphy and literacy in the morning, studied music, chess, painting and other arts in the afternoon, and practiced calligraphy in the evening. Her schedule is even more full than that of ordinary men. It's not right."

"I also understand that General Lu has high hopes for the young lady, so he is so anxious. But the general must understand that you can't get fat in one bite. Everything must be done step by step. Especially learning is not something that can be achieved overnight. It can't be rushed."

"Hey! I understand what you said, but my daughter does not have much time to study. In the future..." Lu Yi wanted to say that she would not be able to be so leisurely after marrying into the prince's mansion. However, he felt that this matter had little to do with Master Yan and it was inconvenient to mention it.

"General Lu, don't worry. You can take your time with your studies. But if you keep working so hard, I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it. You should take a proper rest. I have some personal matters at home these days, so I want to ask for a leave from you. Miss Lingxi can also take a two-day break to relax. I wonder if you will allow me?"

"Since you have something to do at home, you should take a break. How can I not agree? My daughter has just recovered from a serious illness and has been working hard for more than a month. It's time for her to rest for a while. I hope you will take care of me in the future." Lu Yi readily agreed to Master Yan's request for leave.

"I think it's better to give Miss Lingxi a ten-day leave. There are only three days of free time in a month. The young lady is still young and it may not be a good thing to keep her restrained like this. General, please consider my suggestion carefully. I'll take my leave first." Master Yan stood up and saluted while suggesting.

Lu Yi nodded carefully and said, "I will consider your suggestion carefully, sir. Take care."

After Master Yan left, Lu Yi looked at Lu Lingxi's calligraphy and couldn't help but sigh again. This character is really written like a dog's crawl. What do you think your father should do with you?

Whatever! After all, Xiniu's health and physical and mental happiness are the most important. It's time to let her have a good rest.
