The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Seeing Liu Lu walking away, Chunxiang, the maidservant beside Concubine Wang, asked in confusion: "Madam, why are you so polite to that palace maid?"

Concubine Wang smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in her eyes. "You don't understand this. There are many concubines in the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and the worst thing is to make too many enemies. Treating a little palace maid with courtesy can not only win her loyalty, but also let others see my generosity and kindness."

"But Your Majesty, that palace maid is just a servant after all. Isn't it a bit too much for you to treat her like this?" The maid was still a little confused.

"idiot!"

Concubine Wang lightly rebuked, "The lower the status of a person, the more likely they are to become our spies. As long as we show them a little kindness, we can make them work for us. Moreover, I am good to her today, and if she gains power in the future, she will also remember this kindness. Look at her appearance and temperament, she is unique in this prince's mansion, and we can even say that she is on par with our Crown Princess, her sister-in-law from her mother's family, and the most beautiful woman in the capital, Gu Yan'er. As long as she is willing, it is only a matter of time before she is favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What do you think would happen if our noble Crown Princess was betrayed by the person closest to her? The struggles in the harem have never been swords and swords in the open, but intrigues in the dark."

After hearing this, Chunxiang suddenly understood and nodded in admiration.

Concubine Wang raised a smug smile and secretly planned her next move...

Liu Lu was happy to get the gold hairpin, but she also knew that Concubine Wang had bad intentions. Although she was reluctant to give up the gold hairpin, she went back to hand it over to Lu Lingxi as soon as possible and told him the whole conversation between herself and Concubine Wang.

Lu Lingxi listened to Liu Lu's report while eating, looked at the gold hairpin she handed over and smiled, "Liu Lu, I think you are blessed by the God of Wealth today, and he rushed to give you silver. This is the gold hairpin given to you by Concubine Wang, so just keep it. Tomorrow Chunhong will exchange it for silver and give you an ingot, so whoever sees it will get a share."

Liu Lu took back the hairpin in her hand with a look of surprise: "Really?"

Lu Lingxi nodded and answered patiently: "Really."

Liu Lu put her hands together and said, "May God of Wealth bless you, may God of Wealth bless you. I will definitely go to the temple to burn incense and fulfill my wish for you someday. Please always bless me with good fortune. Please, please!"

After saying this, he saw Chunhong looking at him with a smile on her face, so he handed the gold hairpin in his hand to her and said, "Tomorrow, you can also exchange this gold hairpin for silver, and we will split it in half."

Chunhong, who usually keeps quiet, couldn't help but tease her: "Oh, so generous?"

"The Queen said, whoever sees it gets a share. We have such a good relationship, and I asked you to run errands, so how can I not give you half?"

Lu Lingxi had almost finished his dinner. He wiped his mouth and said, "What about me? I saw it too. There's no share for me?"

Liu Lu turned around and said angrily, "My lady, the entire Prince's Mansion belongs to you, and you also have a large amount of dowry. Do you have the nerve to share the meager things that our servants have?"

Lu Lingxi pursed his lips: "Tsk, look at your miserly look, I won't give you any business."

Liu Lu bowed happily and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your generosity!"

Lu Lingxi smiled dotingly: "Stop talking nonsense, clear the table quickly and go downstairs to eat. Chunhong has already eaten with me."

After Liu Lu cleaned up the table and went downstairs, Lu Lingxi asked Chunhong to help her wash up and go to bed. Today was a flower viewing banquet, and although she was not busy, she was tired from playing, so she wanted to go to bed early.

Lu Lingxi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Looking at the empty room beside him, he felt empty and lost in his heart. He couldn't help but think, "Is he really not coming back tonight?"

After thinking about it, I felt annoyed again. I covered my head with the quilt and cursed myself for being useless. Did I really want to compete with so many women for men? Even if I don't want to be with a man for the rest of my life, I can't think about sharing a husband with other women. It doesn't mean I have to find a man.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Lu Lingxi was delighted. Could it be that he was back? He continued to cover his head with the quilt and pretended to sleep.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, passing through the outer room, bypassing the screen, entering the inner room, and walking to the bed. Finally, Nan Wangyu sighed: "Alas! You little heartless man, you can sleep like this, you really don't care whether I spend the night with another woman or not, right?"

Lu Lingxi pursed his lips and thought awkwardly: "Of course I don't care. Is it my turn to care?"

Nan Wangyu took off his shoes and socks and went to bed. He hugged Lu Lingxi through the quilt and said softly, "Even if you don't care, I can't really spend the night with another woman. If I do that, you will definitely not accept me, right? There's really nothing I can do to you."

Lu Lingxi felt the weight on her body. She wanted him to take his hand away, but she didn't want him to know that she was pretending to sleep. She pretended to turn over and push his hand away. After a while, he hugged her again. She thought to herself, "Why is this guy like this? Doesn't he know that men and women shouldn't be intimate? He lied to me before, saying that I was sleeping and I insisted on getting into his arms. It was obviously him who took advantage of me to hug me. He's confusing right and wrong! He's taking advantage of someone's misfortune! He's so shameless..."

Thinking of a series of derogatory words about Nan Wangyu's behavior at the moment, Lu Lingxi was able to fall asleep peacefully.

The next morning, when Lu Lingxi woke up, Nan Wangyu was no longer around.

When Liu Lu came in to help Lu Lingxi get up and wash, she was still a little confused and blurted out, "Where's he?"

Liu Lu: "Chun Hong followed your instructions early in the morning and went out to sell off the rewards that Concubine Su disliked. Have you forgotten?"

Lu Lingxi: "I'm not asking Chunhong."

Liu Lu was puzzled: "Who are you asking?"

Lu Lingxi didn't answer, feeling a little embarrassed to speak up. She had just woken up and didn't want to think about anything else. If she asked him where he was first, it would seem like she couldn't live without him, which was quite embarrassing.

"Are you asking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He got up early and said he had something important to deal with, so he left first and couldn't have breakfast with you."

Lu Lingxi nodded: "Oh."

Then he pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Didn't he go to Concubine Su's place last night? How did you know he had something important to do so early in the morning? Did he send someone to tell me?"

Liu Lu: "No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of your room this morning. I met him at the door. How could you not know?"

Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty: "Maybe he came too late and I fell asleep."

Liu Lu: "Yes, there was indeed a lot of noise in Yilan Palace last night."

"Make a scene? What are you making a scene about? Concubine Su specifically called him over just to cry and make a scene with him?"

"She certainly didn't ask the Crown Prince to go to Yilan Palace to cause trouble. Please listen to what I have to say."

Excited at the thought, Liu Lu ran to the bedside and told Lu Lingxi the news she had heard early in the morning in vivid detail.
