The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

"Sister Gu, what do you usually do at home? Are you bored? I had a head injury and lost my memory some time ago. After I woke up, my father asked me to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day. It is fulfilling, but it also gets a bit boring after a long time." Lu Lingxi was curious about what the goddess did every day to look like a goddess.

"I do the same thing as you in the mansion every day, practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and occasionally doing housework and growing flowers. These are basically the only things that women in the boudoir do, and they are all similar." Gu Yan'er echoed.

"Cousin Yan'er's paintings are the best, so lifelike that the peonies she painted can even attract butterflies." When the King of Qi saw Lu Lingxi talking to Gu Yan'er, he thought it was a good opportunity to talk to Lu Lingxi, so he interrupted them while they were talking.

Lu Lingxi was silent for a while, and Lu Yugang reminded her at the right time: "Sister, this is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, please stand up and salute with me."

Lu Lingxi then stood up and stood behind Lu Yugang, and saluted the King of Qi together. After the salute, the King of Qi said, "Today everyone is out for fun, for fun, there is no need to be so restrained."

The King of Qi was just about to help Lu Lingxi up and talk to him for a while.

Lu Yugang remembered Lu Yi's words and told King Qi that Lingxi should not communicate too much with him, so he stood between King Qi and Lu Lingxi and said to King Qi: "It's getting late now, and Lingxi and I have almost had enough fun, so I'll take my leave and go back home."

"Brother, are we going back now? The sun hasn't even set yet." Lu Lingxi had just arrived at the pavilion and hadn't spoken a few words to Gu Yan'er yet.

"Lingxi, we still have an hour's journey back home, so we have to set off early. And my godfather likes the roast goose from Zui Xiang Lou the most, so when we pass by the market on our way back, let's buy one for him." Lu Yugang used Lu Yi to persuade Lu Lingxi.

"Okay, filial piety to father is the greatest thing in the world, let's go buy some roast goose." Lu Yi still holds a great importance in Lu Lingxi's heart.

"Sister Gu, I will go out for fun and shopping tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? We can have a good chat." Lu Lingxi suddenly said to Gu Yan'er.

Gu Yan'er was conflicted at this moment. Judging from Lu Yugang's reaction just now, the Marquis of Zhenguo probably didn't want Lu Lingxi to be involved with the King of Qi, after all, Lu Lingxi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were engaged. But Lu Lingxi was so careless about being friends with me and asking me to go shopping. She said it like this, and the King of Qi heard it. If she wanted to, she would come along. Does she really just want to be friends with me, or does she want to contact the King of Qi through me? Oh! Forget it, I'll know tomorrow. I'm not afraid of her.

"Okay, let's go shopping together tomorrow." Gu Yan'er finally agreed.

"Well, then how about I pick you up at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow?" Seeing that Gu Yan'er agreed, Lu Lingxi made an appointment to pick her up.

"Okay, let's do it at noon." Gu Yan'er answered quickly.

Lu Lingxi nodded hurriedly, then followed Lu Yugang towards the carriage, preparing to pack up and return home.

King Qi looked at Lu Lingxi's back and thought, she specially asked my cousin to go in front of me, could it be that she also wanted me to go? Has she been convinced by my talent?

Seeing King Qi in a daze, Gu Yan'er asked, "What are you thinking about, cousin? Are you attracted to Miss Lu?" Her voice was still gentle, without a trace of emotion.

"Cousin, you're joking. I only have you in my heart. What's more, Miss Lu is far inferior to you. How could I possibly like her?" Now that King Qi and Gu Yan'er haven't gotten married yet, King Qi still has to coax her.

"Oh, really? That's good." Gu Yan'er sneered in her heart: 'You don't fancy her, you fancy the military power in her father's hands. You want to win over both civil and military officials. Isn't that a bit too greedy.'

When Lu Lingxi and his party were almost at the carriage, a skinny dog ​​covered in mud suddenly jumped out and ran straight towards Lu Lingxi, about to pounce on him. Lu Yugang was walking in front and wanted to turn back to stop him, but it was too late. The two little girls, Chunhong and Liulv, who were following behind, did not react for a while.

Fortunately, the dog did not jump on Lu Lingxi, but bit the edge of Lu Lingxi's skirt. Lu Yugang hurried to Lu Lingxi's side and tried to kick the dog away. "Brother, wait!" Lu Lingxi saw that the dog did not want to hurt her, and there seemed to be a pleading look in his eyes when he looked at her. Although Lu Yugang did not understand why, he still listened to Lu Lingxi and did not kick the dog.

When the dog saw that the men didn't hit it, it let go. Chunhong and Liulu hurried over to check if Lu Lingxi was injured.

"Oh! Miss, there is blood on the edge of your skirt. Did the beast bite you?" Liu Lu was shocked when she saw the blood on the edge of Lu Lingxi's skirt. If Lu Lingxi was really bitten, they would be to blame for not protecting her well.

"Sister is hurt? It's all because of your useless behavior. I failed to protect you. Does it hurt?" Lu Yugang also became nervous.

"Don't worry, it didn't bite me. This blood is not mine, it might be from its mouth." While Lu Lingxi was speaking, she kept looking at the dog. It walked towards the woods. After walking for a distance, it looked back at Lu Lingxi, as if waiting for her.

"I'm glad my sister is okay. Let's go back home and change our clothes. It's not good to wear bloodstained clothes." Lu Yugang said as he wanted to pull Lu Lingxi into the carriage.

"Brother, look at that dog. It seems like it is waiting for me to catch up with it, and its eyes are full of pleading. Let's go and take a look." Lu Lingxi didn't want to leave. All things have spirits. The dog might be in trouble and was looking for help, so it ran into the crowd like this.

After saying this, Lu Lingxi followed the dog and walked forward. Chunhong and Liulu also followed Lu Lingxi. The dog saw Lu Lingxi following him, so he turned around and continued walking, looking back from time to time to confirm whether Lu Lingxi had caught up. Seeing this, Lu Yugang probably understood that Lu Lingxi's guess might have some truth, so he followed.

The four followed the dog to the edge of the woods, where they saw a female dog lying on the ground, with kite strings tangled around her body, legs, and neck. Not far away was the kite that Lu Lingxi had just flown away with its string broken. The female dog was already dead, and there were two newborn puppies around her, covered in blood, with their umbilical cords still attached to the female dog. The female dog must have had her legs entangled by the string, and as she struggled, the string became tighter and tighter, and in the last moments of her life, she desperately gave birth to the puppies. The dog who came to look for people must have tried to save the female dog and tore the string with his mouth, injuring his tongue, leaving blood on Lu Lingxi's skirt. Seeing this scene, everyone was silent.

Lu Lingxi blamed himself the most. Why didn't he pick up the kite just now? What did he mean by letting it go free? The freedom of a kite, such an illusory thing, had cost a life and caused two puppies to lose their mother at birth.

"Liulu, go back and find some cloth to wrap the puppies. Newly born puppies must be very afraid of the cold." Lu Lingxi came to his senses and felt that his wrong decision had harmed them. He had an obligation to save these two newborn puppies.

When Liu Lu heard the order, she quickly turned around and ran towards the carriage. Lu Lingxi squatted down and gently tore the umbilical cords of the two puppies with his hands and feet. Seeing that they were all shivering, he quickly picked them up and put them in his arms to warm them up.

"Sister, don't hug it. Don't get your dress dirty." When Lu Yugang saw Lu Lingxi picking up the puppy, he hurriedly stopped her.

"It's okay, brother. My dress is already dirty anyway. It doesn't matter if it gets dirtier. It's worth it to save two little lives by getting a dirty dress." Lu Lingxi said indifferently.

The dog who had just led Lu Lingxi saw Lu Lingxi pick up the puppy and suddenly fell to the ground, "Brother, go and see what happened to it."

Lu Yugang rushed forward to check, "Its tongue was injured and it lost too much blood. It can't hold on now."

Lu Lingxi felt even more guilty. He squatted down beside the dog, freed one hand to touch its head, and holding back tears, he consoled it: "You've done a great job. You saved these two puppies. Don't worry, I will take good care of them and raise them to be plump and white. And... I'm sorry!"

The dog seemed to understand what Lu Lingxi said that she would take care of the two puppies, and slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Lingxi felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Lu Yugang silently patted her back, hoping that she would feel better.

Lu Lingxi slowly adjusted his mood: "Brother, let the servants find a secluded place to bury them. It's not good to leave them here."

"Yes, okay. I will definitely tell my servants to handle this matter properly." Lu Yugang also answered seriously.

Chunhong helped Lu Lingxi up. At this time, Liu Lu also came over and said, "Miss, do you think this piece of cloth is okay? It's quite soft."

Lu Lingxi took the cloth, carefully wrapped the puppy, and held it in his arms, "Let's go back home quickly and find something to eat for the puppy."
