The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Watching Lu Lingxi run away in anger, Nan Wangyu felt a little regretful. He had finally managed to get her to sleep on the same bed with him, but just a few days later, he made her angry again. Would Lingxi be so angry that she wouldn't let him get into bed again?

Obviously, I didn't plan to stay overnight in Concubine Su's palace, and Lingxi didn't take it to heart. Why did I suddenly ask Lingxi such a question? There was nothing to do, why did I provoke her to quarrel for no reason? Oh! Look at my brain. Thinking of this, I hit my head helplessly.

I raised my foot to chase after her, but then I hesitated. If I chased after her now, would I be able to coax her? I was in a dilemma for a moment.

Lu Lingxi ran back to the bedroom in anger, sat down on the bed, crossed his hands on his chest, his face puffed up, and he was still grinding his teeth secretly: "Who is he? What does it have to do with me? He promised someone else but still came to ask me, and got angry with me when he was not satisfied with the answer. Who did I offend? I am not a worm in his stomach, how do I know what answer he wants? I am so annoyed, you can sleep wherever you want, and don't even think about getting into my bed in the future! Humph!"

"Oh! That's not right. Why does the last sentence sound so awkward?" Lu Lingxi was shocked. It's only been a few days and she has gotten used to sleeping with him. How terrible!

Then he shook his head and said, "That's not the point. The point is that he got mad at me for no reason today. If he doesn't apologize to me properly, I won't forgive him."

Chunhong and Liulu came in holding the reward that was originally intended for Concubine Su, and saw Lu Lingxi sulking by the bed.

Liu Lu looked at the things in her hand and then at her young lady, and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Just now you were happily thinking about choosing gifts for the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, your little nephew, and you got so many good things for free. Why are you angry now? Are you bothered that these are things that Concubine Su doesn't want? You never minded these little things in the past. Who wants them or not is just a small matter in name only. We got these good things for real. If you really don't like them, you can exchange them for gold or silver. Or you can give them to the servants as rewards, and you can also use them to humiliate Concubine Su."

Lu Lingxi laughed: "I think what you said before was all nonsense, and the last sentence is what's really in your heart. I don't miss your monthly allowance, do I? I also thought of you when I gave you the good things, and it's still not enough? You really are obsessed with money."

After saying that, she took the tray from Liu Lu's hand and put all the things in Chun Hong's hand. She turned back and stuck out her tongue at Liu Lu: "You wish for it, but I won't give it to you. Chun Hong, you have to sell all these things tomorrow, and I will give you a silver ingot as your errand fee."

Liu Lu pulled Lu Lingxi and said coquettishly, "One ingot of silver? Our monthly salary is only two taels. If she runs an errand, the queen will give her five months' salary. I don't agree, but I will go too."

Lu Lingxi sat back on the bed, pretending to be funny, teasing Liu Lu: "You are all out of the house, who will serve me tomorrow?"

Liu Lu stomped her feet in grievance: "Wow...you all bully me!" Then she pretended to wipe her tears and ran out.

Lu Lingxi was so amused that he burst into laughter and instantly forgot all the unpleasantness that had occurred between him and Nan Wangyu.

Finally, he told Chunhong: "After exchanging the silver tomorrow, leave one ingot of silver for Liulu. Everyone who sees it gets a share."

Chunhong had already figured out that she was teasing Liulu on purpose, so she said cheerfully, "Yes! Madam, shall we serve dinner now?"

"Ok!"

Thanks to Liu Lu's help, Lu Lingxi felt much better and the dinner tasted very good.

Liu Lu ran out not far when she ran into Concubine Wang.

Concubine Wang saw that Liu Lu looked unhappy, so she stepped forward and asked, "Miss Liu, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy? Who offended you? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger."

Liu Lu knew that this Concubine Wang had no good intentions, but she was the Crown Prince's concubine after all, and was also half her master. She had to answer her master's questions, so she perfunctorily said, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Wang. I am not unhappy."

Concubine Wang took Liu Lu's hand and said kindly, "You are being too polite, aren't you? After all, I am just the Crown Prince's concubine. I am just a servant serving the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. We are similar. Is there anything you can't tell me? Being a servant is hard. If you have any difficulties, tell each other and relieve your depression. Don't keep it in your heart. Only then can life be better."

Liu Lu awkwardly withdrew her hand: "This servant does not have any difficulties."

Seeing that Liu Lu was not interested, Concubine Wang changed the subject and said, "Alas! Why is Chun Hong not here today? Aren't you two inseparable all the time?"

Liu Lu: "She is probably serving the Crown Princess dinner right now."

After hearing this, Concubine Wang thought she had grasped something important. She smiled and comforted Liu Lu: "On weekdays, it seems that Chunhong is more with the Crown Princess. Don't take it too seriously. Chunhong seems to be more stable, so it is reasonable that she is more favored by the Crown Princess. But not everyone prefers stable girls. I prefer lively, interesting and beautiful girls like you. This harem is dull, and with a lively girl in front of me, life is much happier. You are so beautiful, I like you very much, and His Royal Highness should like you too."

Liu Lu didn't dare to respond casually. It was obviously an attempt to sow discord. It was hinting that she could secretly climb into the Crown Prince's bed without her master's knowledge. She didn't dare to have such an idea.

But looking at Concubine Wang's attitude, if she can't say something that satisfies her today, she won't leave.

Liu Lu lowered her eyelids, rolled her eyes left and right, and then she had an idea. She pursed her lips and covered her eyes with a handkerchief: "What the Imperial Concubine said is right, but I just don't understand. It's obvious that I and Chunhong serve the Crown Princess for the same time, and I have never been lazy on weekdays, but the Crown Princess is partial to Chunhong. She rewarded her with a silver ingot just for asking her to run an errand. Don't look at her calm appearance, I don't know how she flatters without any bottom line behind her back."

Concubine Wang took off the gold hairpin on her head, handed it to Liu Lu and said, "Isn't it just a silver ingot? This gold hairpin of mine is more than three taels, which can be worth three silver ingots. I'm giving it to you. Don't worry about the money. As long as you serve the master well, you will have everything."

Liu Lu hurriedly refused: "My Lady, this is unacceptable. No merit, no reward. How can I accept your gold hairpin for no reason?"

Concubine Wang pushed the hairpin forward again and said, "How can you say it's useless? You have been talking to me for such a long time, which has relieved my boredom. I should give you a reward."

Liu Lu still refused: "No, no, really no, my lady, I can't bear it."

Concubine Wang placed the golden hairpin in Liu Lu's palm and said, "If you refuse again, it means you look down on me. Do you think I am not as high-ranking as your master and unworthy of rewarding you?"

Liu Lu immediately bowed and admitted her mistake: "Since the Imperial Concubine thinks so highly of me, I would be disrespectful to refuse. Thank you for the Imperial Concubine's reward!"

Only then did Concubine Wang smile with satisfaction as she watched Liu Lu bow and leave.
