The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu received the King of Qi, they returned to where they had settled the young man. The young man had already woken up and Liu Lu was feeding him porridge.

The boy stared at Liu Lu straightly. After finishing a bowl of porridge, he said impatiently: "Sister, thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you when I find my family."

Liu Lu knew that the young man's background was still unclear, so she didn't say much, and only said: "It wasn't me who saved you, it was my master who saved you."

The young man was puzzled: "Who is your master?"

Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu came in at this time, and Lu Lingxi replied: "It's me."

The young man carefully recalled the scene before he fainted. He saw that the face of the woman upstairs was indeed more similar to the one coming in now, so he said, "Thank you for saving my life, sister. May I ask what your name is? I will repay you in the future."

Lu Lingxi: "In the future? Wait until you find your family in the future? Which family are you looking for? When did you get separated? Where did you get separated? Tell us, maybe we can help you find them."

Without knowing the other party's identity, the boy did not dare to reveal his situation easily. So he asked, "Who are you?"

Nan Wangyu said: "This is my wife, the Crown Princess of Nanzheng Kingdom."

The young man guessed that their identities were not simple, but he did not expect that they were the crown prince and crown princess. He immediately stood up and knelt down to salute: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess!"

Lu Lingxi: "Liu Lu, help him up quickly. You are not well yet, so there is no need to perform such a big ceremony."

After Liu Lu helped the boy back to the bed and Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi sat down on the chairs, Nan Wangyu asked, "Can you tell us about your story now?"

The young man answered respectfully, "My name is Wang Duotu, I am fourteen years old this year. I have been living with my father in Ningcheng in the north. I have been in the capital for more than three months. I have been without a mother since I was a child. My father and I have been dependent on each other for life. Unfortunately, my luck was bad. My father died of illness four months ago. When he was dying, he was worried that I would be helpless in the future, so he told me that I still have an uncle in the capital and asked me to find him. I hope that my uncle can give me a meal and find a way out in the capital. He also gave me A jade pendant, he said, one for him and one for his uncle, which was given to them by their grandfather. His uncle would recognize me when he saw the jade pendant. He said he had mentioned me in his correspondence with his uncle in the past few years. This is just the address my father gave me when I went to the capital, but my uncle was not there. He said he moved away a few years ago, and I don’t know where he moved to. I have used up all my money, so I can only run errands for some shop owners temporarily, do odd jobs, and make a living. But I haven’t earned enough money to go on the road again to find my uncle.”

Nan Wangyu: "What's your uncle's name? Maybe I can help you find it."

Wang Duotu said: "My uncle is Wang Deli, and my father is Wang Defa."

Wang Duotu seemed to be unaccustomed to talking to people of high rank and power like Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi. He sometimes called himself a commoner and sometimes called himself "I". They didn't mind because he was young.

Nan Wangyu nodded: "Okay, I'll let you know as soon as I find out."

Wang Duotu: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lu Lingxi continued, "You are injured and have nowhere to go, so stay in the Prince's Mansion to recuperate."

Wang Duotu said: "Thank you, Crown Princess Sister, you are really beautiful and kind."

Lu Lingxi was amused, "Crown Princess Sister? What kind of title is that? Others call me Crown Princess."

Wang Duotu said innocently and sincerely: "I think the Crown Princess is only a few years older than me. Calling you "Madam" makes you old. It's more appropriate to call you "Sister."

Lu Lingxi smiled from ear to ear: "You are so clever, indeed. I am sixteen years old, only two years older than you. You can call me whatever you want. You are still injured, and you have been talking for so long, so take a rest first. We are leaving first."

Before Lu Lingxi stood up, Wang Duotu hurriedly asked, "Sister Crown Princess, how is Kuang Ba after I fainted?"

Lu Lingxi was puzzled: "What does Kuang Ba mean?"

"It was the puppy I was holding in my arms at the time. I named it Kuangbachi."

Lu Lingxi said, "We brought it back together. We gave it some milk and minced meat. It may be dreaming now. You can go see it when you are better."

Wang Duotu looked at the beautiful and gentle woman in front of him with gratitude on his face, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Thank you, Princess Sister, thank you so much!" This time of thanks seemed more sincere than before, as if every word came from the deepest part of his heart.

Coincidentally, his inner thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Lu Lingxi's views. They both firmly believed that those who could show kindness and compassion to animals must be kind and pure people. At this moment, Lu Lingxi noticed that Wang Duotu's eyes, as bright as stars, were slightly flashing with tears, and it seemed that tears would roll down at any time. Her heart could not help but become particularly soft. This child must have experienced countless hardships and difficulties before? Now, just such a small favor moved him so much that he was almost about to cry.

Lu Lingxi walked forward slowly, reached out her hand and gently stroked the top of Wang Duotu's head, and said in a gentle tone of comfort: "Don't be so excited. You may have suffered a lot in the past few days, but everything will slowly get better in the future." Her words were like a warm spring breeze, gently brushing past Wang Duotu's ears, bringing bursts of warmth and comfort.

Wang Duotu slowly lowered his head, as if he was afraid that people would notice his slightly wet eyes. He thought to himself, this won't do. How can a man of seven feet tall let others see his vulnerable side? That would be too effeminate. He gritted his teeth, trying to force back the tears in his eyes, and nodded firmly, responding to Lu Lingxi in a low and powerful voice: "Yeah!"

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, and then whispered: "The woman who took care of you just now is the most caring maid beside me - Liu Lu. She has always been meticulous and thoughtful in doing things. In the days to come, she will be responsible for taking care of your daily life, diet and other matters." After that, she deliberately turned her head to look at Liu Lu who was standing beside her, her eyes full of trust and expectation.

Wang Duotu heard this and took a deep breath to calm down his slightly excited mood. Then he raised his head and turned his gaze to Liu Lu on the side. He saw that Liu Lu had a cold and beautiful appearance, with a bit of coldness between her eyebrows. He hurriedly bowed and said politely: "Thank you for your trouble these days, sister Liu Lu. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will bear with me."

Liu Lu nodded calmly: "As I should, I am also following orders."

Only in this way was Wang Duotu completely settled, and Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi then got up and left.

Lu Lingxi returned to Changqiu Palace to wait for dinner, while Nan Wangyu ordered people to verify whether everything Wang Duotu said was true.
