The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

The first day of April is the day when all the concubines in the Prince's Mansion pay their respects to Lu Lingxi.

In just two days, five high-ranking concubines were missing. Everyone was in a panic, fearing that if they were not careful, they would be the next one to be sent out of the Prince's Mansion. So this time, they were much more humble than before when they came to pay their respects, and they were very careful, fearing that they would be kicked out of the Prince's Mansion if they said or did something inappropriate.

In fact, not all of these concubines were willing to stay in the Prince's Mansion. Many of them were unwilling to marry into the royal family. If they married into an ordinary family, they could go back to their parents' home to reunite with their parents and relatives during festivals. If they married into the royal family without making significant contributions, their parents would specially recruit them into the palace, and they would only be able to see each other in life and death. But since they have already entered the Prince's Mansion, if they commit a crime and are kicked out, then there is no hope for the rest of their lives. So they cannot be kicked out.

Lu Lingxi was in the palace, and she knew nothing about the inner calculations and thoughts of the concubines. She simply admired Concubine Shang's work ability. Concubine Shang had to look through piles of account books every day, carefully taking care of various chores in the mansion, and was very busy. But even so busy, she was able to take some free time out of her busy schedule to arrange the seating order for the concubines to pay their respects in an orderly manner. There were five fewer people paying their respects this time, and she still arranged the remaining people to sit properly according to the status of each concubine. Not only that, she even carefully considered and adjusted the distance between each chair, making the whole scene look full and well-organized.

Alas! Lu Lingxi suddenly thought, if the seats can be filled, what about the palace? Su Yun left the Prince's Mansion, so the Yilan Palace where she lived alone before was vacant. Can I turn the Yilan Palace into my own bedroom? Yeah! This is really great.

Lu Lingxi was so excited just thinking about it that she couldn't wait to go back and move. She couldn't hear anything that Concubine Shang said when she was arranging the affairs. This visit ended in such a hurry.

After returning to Changqiu Palace, Lu Lingxi immediately ordered Chunhong and Liulu to pack up her things and move to Yilan Palace.

Before they had moved much, Nan Wangyu came back from court. Seeing Liu Lu carrying the mattress outside, he asked Lu Lingxi in confusion, "Lingxi, the weather today is not very sunny, why did you think of drying the bedding? Why don't you wait a few days when the weather is better before drying it?"

While packing up her makeup box, Lu Lingxi smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and said, "I'm not here to dry my bedding. I'm planning to move to Yilan Palace. Now that Su Yun is gone, Yilan Palace will be empty, right? This way I'll have my own bedroom and won't have to squeeze with you anymore."

"No!" Nan Wangyu was shocked. How could he have forgotten this? Lingxi had said before that she wanted her own bedroom. But now that she had moved away, wouldn't he have to find a new reason to cultivate his relationship with her?

The word "No" was like a bolt from the blue, instantly freezing Lu Lingxi's originally blossoming smile on her pretty face. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she was frozen in an awkward and unbelievable expression.

Lu Lingxi's big watery eyes were full of doubt and unwillingness. She pursed her lips tightly, as if trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. Finally, she couldn't help it, her face turned red, and she asked angrily: "Why not?" There was a hint of grievance and anger in her voice, which made people feel pity.

"Because... because..." Nan Wangyu held his forehead to cover his face, thought for a while and said, "Because yesterday I promised to let Concubine Wang move in. With her status, it was already very difficult for her to squeeze in with other concubines. Now that there is a vacant palace, she came to me again to beg for it, and I can't refuse."

Lu Lingxi threw the hairpin in her hand back into the makeup box in anger: "Why? It's awkward for her to squeeze in with others, and my status is higher than hers? It won't be awkward for me to squeeze in with you?"

Nan Wangyu stepped forward, hugged Lu Lingxi from behind, and coaxed: "Changqiu Palace is so big, there are only two of us, how can you squeeze in? Otherwise, I will change to a bigger bed?"

Speaking of the bed, Lu Lingxi thought of the fact that she had been sleeping in the same bed with Nan Wangyu for more than a month. Although during this period, either Nan Wangyu was injured or she was injured, the two of them always slept under their own quilts and did not do anything more intimate, but occasionally because she was not honest when sleeping, they always hugged each other. It feels like now they are no longer a simple cooperative relationship, probably a couple.

But when she thought about how he could have intimate relationships with so many women, Lu Lingxi didn't want to admit their current subtle relationship as a couple.

Lu Lingxi broke free from Nan Wangyu's hand, took two steps to the side, and then turned back to Nan Wangyu and said, "What do you mean by bed or no bed? When I say crowded, I mean I feel like I have no private space when we live together. I need some private space."

Nan Wangyu took a step forward: "Private space? What is private space?"

Lu Lingxi took another step back and explained, "Private space refers to the personal space that belongs to each person and is not known or understood by anyone else. It can be a physical space, such as a room, or a psychological space, such as a corner in the heart. I need both."

Nan Wangyu shook his head and said rationally, "Then what you are trying to achieve is impossible, 'a personal space that is not known or understood by anyone'? If you move there, won't everyone know that you live in Yilan Palace? Or do you mean that you will live there alone, without even Chunhong, Liulv, and your Chang Wei and Xiaohua?"

Lu Lingxi walked to the bedside with light steps, and then sat down naturally along the edge of the bed. She raised one hand slightly, gently supported her forehead, and a trace of deep helplessness appeared on her face. She sighed softly and said, "Oh! Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, things have come to this point. You have already given Yilan Palace to Concubine Wang. Now even if we are entangled in this, it is in vain. I got up early in the morning and I am a little sleepy now. I will take a nap first."

After saying that, he lay down, covered his head with the quilt, and prepared to sleep.

At this time, Liu Lu came in to move things again. Nan Wangyu ordered, "Okay, stop moving. Tell them to stop moving too. The Crown Princess will not live in Yilan Palace."

Liu Lu was puzzled: "Why don't you move again?"

Nan Wangyu glanced at her and said, "If I say you don't want to move, then don't move. The Crown Princess wants to catch up on her sleep now. Tell the people below to be quieter and not disturb her."

After that, Nan Wangyu also went out, called his attendant Jiang Wen to a deserted place and ordered: "Go and inform Concubine Wang that I have granted her the right to live alone in the Yilan Palace."

After Jiang Wen informed Concubine Wang, she was extremely happy and allowed herself to live alone, next to the main palace. Is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hinting to me that my status can be promoted?
