The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Because Concubine Su was under house arrest, the rumor that was previously circulating among the concubines in the Prince's Mansion, that Grand Tutor's daughter Su Yun was the one dear to His Royal Highness, was refuted.

At the same time, everyone also understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on the side of the Crown Princess. Whether it was for the military power in the hands of the Crown Princess's father, or for the face of the couple, or because of the true friendship between the two, the Crown Princess was not someone they could mess with at will.

So since then, Lu Lingxi's life has been quite peaceful. Apart from accompanying Nan Wangyu to the study to read, there is nothing else to do.

Now the study has added a special category of books that Lu Lingxi likes to read, which is placed on a separate bookshelf. The name was also given by Lu Lingxi himself, called "Story Collection", which mainly contains some love stories, or some folk legends, unofficial history and the like.

Nan Wangyu said that he wanted to teach Lu Lingxi some skills in harem fighting, but she said arrogantly that she was so smart that she didn't need anyone to teach her. She could learn it by reading the storybook, and the storytelling was particularly vivid and interesting. Nan Wangyu had a lot of official duties to deal with, so he let her do it.

But sometimes one gets bored of reading storybooks continuously. As for other arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Lu Lingxi had hired special teachers to teach them. However, she did not like them very much. No one forced her to practice them, and they were her unique skills and she did not want to practice them.

However, she accidentally found a simple book about carpentry, so she asked Jiang Wenxun to get the carpentry tools and started making stools in the study.

After hammering away in the study for an entire afternoon, he finished a square four-legged stool. He sat on it and tried it out, but his feet were still lame and uneven. Lu Lingxi muttered to himself, "Well, it's OK. I can sit steadily. If I sit still, I can't feel my feet are uneven."

Then he thought about it and said, "Oh, I got it. I think that leg is too long, so I'll just saw off a piece of it."

After saying this, he placed the stool on the desk and measured carefully to see how much to saw off each leg.

Nan Wangyu glanced at the side and laughed, "Lingxi, you need to polish this stool before you can sit on it. Look, the back of your clothes is all scratched."

Lu Lingxi looked back and saw that the fabric on her buttocks had a threading problem and several places were fuzzy. He praised her casually, "You have good eyes. You can see this."

Then he looked at Nan Wangyu who was carefully reviewing documents with his head down, and praised sincerely: "I have to say that you have extraordinary concentration. I have been banging on the wall for so long and it is so noisy, but you are not affected at all. Alas! Do you really not find it noisy?"

Nan Wangyu said in a good-tempered manner: "Don't quarrel, I feel at ease with you by my side."

After saying that, he put down the brush in his hand, walked closer to Lu Lingxi, and whispered: "Lingxi, do you think I am excellent? Don't worry, you will find that I have countless advantages in the future."

Lu Lingxi looked at him unhappily. Why is this guy like this? He looks very straight and well-mannered, and he works carefully and seriously, but he speaks in a greasy tone. Such a good-looking man, but it's a pity that he has a big mouth. Alas!

It was also my fault. I shouldn't have talked to him! Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi really stopped talking to him. Seeing that she didn't respond, Nan Wangyu also tactfully did his own thing.

Lu Lingxi fiddled with it for another half an hour. It was almost time for dinner. The four-legged stool turned into a four-legged low stool, but the legs were still not level. She finally gave up. She didn't know what went wrong. One of the legs was still a little off and it was still not level.

Lu Lingxi put down the four-legged stool in his hand with some annoyance, and comforted himself in his heart: "Forget it, I'll make another one tomorrow."

As a result, the next day, Lu Lingxi changed to wood carving. After carving for a whole day, she accidentally cut her hand. Nan Wangyu nervously asked someone to bandage her hand and told her to try something else.

Lu Lingxi might have reached puberty now, and she is a rebellious person. When she was told not to play wood carving, she insisted on playing it, even with injuries. She was so dedicated, but after a day, she carved a weird looking thing.

She said she carved an eagle, but to Nan Wangyu it looked like a chicken with broken wings. It was not an exaggeration to call it a "Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg" because it was missing one leg.

Lu Lingxi defended himself, "This is an eagle that has just experienced a battle. It is a hero. We should not laugh at its missing limbs. We should be in awe of it."

Nan Wangyu wanted to ask, why does this eagle have a comb? But he thought that as long as she was happy, he said, "Yes, yes, yes, we should be in awe."

Only then did Lu Lingxi nod with satisfaction and continue to appreciate his work, and placed it in a prominent place on the bookshelf.

On the third day, Lu Lingxi discovered alchemy in a book and spent another day tinkering with it.

Lu Lingxi reads a book and learns one thing, focusing on one thing. He learns everything but is not good at anything.

Lu Lingxi was having a lot of fun in the study. Time passed quickly and it was the end of the month in the blink of an eye.

On the afternoon of the 30th day of the first lunar month, Lu Lingxi was worrying about having to get up early the next day to deal with the people in the backyard. He was wondering whether he should prepare a speech in advance and think about what he would say tomorrow, otherwise the situation might be awkward, or he might have to arrange some procedures or something.

Then Sun Fulu came to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen has ordered you to come to the palace to have a talk tomorrow."

Lu Lingxi looked puzzled. "What did she ask me to talk about? We are not that familiar with each other."

Sun Fulu replied respectfully: "I don't know about this."

Nan Wangyu, who was standing by, saw that Lu Lingxi was unwilling and comforted her, "Lingxi, don't worry. No matter what Queen Gu says, just listen to her. If it's not serious, ignore her. If she really goes too far, you can fight back appropriately. She just wants to show off her power as a mother-in-law."

Lu Lingxi: "Then how do I judge whether she has gone too far, and whether my counterattack is appropriate?"

Nan Wangyu smiled and said, "Lingxi has always been smart. I believe you can grasp the right measure."

Lu Lingxi suddenly lay on the table in frustration and sighed, "Tomorrow on the first day of the lunar year, they should have come to pay their respects to me. I should have been showing off my power as the Crown Princess, but they want me to go to the palace to see Queen Gu showing off her power."

"Oh! Do you think she deliberately ordered someone to check the time for us to pay respects to the emperor, and deliberately chose to summon me to the palace tomorrow?" Lu Lingxi's eyes went from being blank and looking forward to being focused, and he turned to look at Nan Wangyu and asked.

Nan Wangyu nodded in agreement: "It is very likely, but she is still the elder in name, we can't be disrespectful first, we have to go to the palace when she summons us."

Lu Lingxi turned his head forward again and nodded, "I understand."

Nan Wangyu stroked the top of Lu Lingxi's head, soothing her like stroking the fur of a fuzzy kitten, and said, "Tomorrow I will officially end my honeymoon leave and start attending court every day. I will go to the palace with you tomorrow and wait for you to return home together. If there is something you can't solve along the way, send someone to find me."

Lu Lingxi really felt comforted and replied obediently: "Okay!"

Nan Wangyu then said to Sun Fulu, "Go and inform the people who were originally scheduled to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month that they don't need to come tomorrow. Let's change it to the second day."

After Sun Fulu received the order, he went down to pass it on to all the halls.
