The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Ten days later, Nan Wangyu finally received a reply. Wang Duotu's life story was basically correct, but there was still no clue about his uncle's whereabouts. Lu Lingxi's result was considered to have put down all his guard against Wang Duotu, but Nan Wangyu still had doubts, but he didn't say it out loud, which made Lu Lingxi worried.

Wang Duotu could only live in the Prince's Mansion for the time being. He was in good health now, so he didn't need Liu Lu to take care of him all the time. Besides, it was not good for him to live in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion with the concubines. So he was asked to move to the front pavilion next to the reception room, next to the servants, but in a separate courtyard with an open space in front, which was just right for Chang Wei, Xiaohua, and Kuang Ba to play.

Wang Duotu spent a day setting up obstacles for the dogs to climb and train in the open space in the front pavilion, including a single-plank bridge, a jumping ring, equidistant wooden stakes for training serpentine movements, a rope net, and so on.

Lu Lingxi also saw Wang Duotu letting the dogs pick up sticks and identify objects by smell. He couldn't help but sigh: "Is he training special forces?"

Wang Duotu turned around and shouted enthusiastically, "Crown Princess Sister."

Lu Lingxi's heart suddenly tightened, and a familiar and disturbing feeling came over her, just like when she was wandering around the campus at school and bumped into her class teacher. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

She quickly came to her senses, forced a smile on her face, hurriedly picked up the book in her hand and held it in front of her eyes, stammering to explain to Wang Duotu: "Well... I have actually been reading seriously here, really! Hehehe!" She looked a little funny and made people laugh.

Wang Duotu ruthlessly exposed her, "Sister Crown Princess, please stop reading the storybook. You are the crown princess of our Nanzheng Kingdom and the future queen mother. How can you indulge in love all day long? There are still many things waiting for you to do."

Lu Lingxi looked at the book in his hand in panic. It was really a storybook. He hid the book behind his back in embarrassment. He explained, "I just relax occasionally. It's really occasionally. Oh, I suddenly remembered that I haven't settled yesterday's accounts yet. I'm leaving first. You do your thing." After that, he took Chunhong and Liulu back to Changqiu Palace.

The three of them trotted back to Changqiu Palace. Liu Lu poured tea for Lu Lingxi while teasing, "Your Majesty, you are more afraid of Duotu than our Marquis. You didn't just save a child, you saved a father. The Marquis never cared about you like this before, and you didn't even listen to him. Why are you so afraid of him?"

Lu Lingxi was tired from running, so he drank his tea in one breath and explained, "Alas! You don't understand. Every time he speaks, he looks like a mature adult who is very serious and particular. What he said makes sense, and it's for my own good. He is actually younger than me, and I feel like I am bullying a child if I disagree with him. I am even more afraid that if he gets serious, there will be endless lectures waiting for me. It is better to run away."

Liu Lu said mercilessly: "Haha, in all this time, this is the first time I've seen someone who can control you. You said you've obeyed someone in the past. If you were unhappy with someone, you would just confront them. Even the powerful Queen Gu, who is your elder, was defeated by you. This time you can be said to have been caught, hahaha!"

Lu Lingxi also said mercilessly: "You are also my defeated opponent, what is there to be happy about? He caught me, I caught you, and you are still at the lowest level, lululu..."

Liu Lu said mysteriously, "That's not necessarily me. As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than you. Duotu really listens to me. Now I have Duotu in my hands."

Lu Lingxi sneered: "Impossible, I don't believe it."

Liu Lu smiled cheerfully, shook her head and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Chun Hong."

Lu Lingxi looked at Chunhong, who nodded and added, "Two days ago, Duotu gave Liulu a wooden hairpin that he carved himself, saying that he fell in love with her the first time he saw her when he woke up. Although he can only give her a worthless wooden hairpin now, all the money he earns in the future will belong to Liulu, and he must let her live a good life."

Liu Lu said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, I refused on the grounds that I was three years older than him, so it was not appropriate. Do you know what he said? He said, 'A woman three years older than you is just the right person to hold a gold brick.'" After saying this, she touched her face beautifully, looking proud.

Lu Lingxi looked at Liu Lu in disbelief and sighed, "Young people's love is so fierce! So you like him too? Are you two in love?"

Liu Lu then put away the expression on her face and said seriously: "No, who would like a little brat? I rejected him, but he stuffed the hairpin into my hand and ran away, saying that he would slowly change my mind. I just feel... feel..."

Lu Lingxi smiled slyly: "Do you think that someone confessing to you means you are attractive? Tsk tsk tsk, you are indeed quite attractive when you don't speak, but you turn into a silly girl when you speak."

Liu Lu said angrily, "Oh, Crown Princess, you...if you say that to me again, I will agree to him. Let's see if you dare to say that to me again. Humph!"

Lu Lingxi stopped laughing and advised, "Please don't do that. I was thinking that my life would be better after he found his uncle and left the Prince's Mansion. If you two are really together, won't I be scolded by him from time to time for the rest of my life and won't I be unable to get rid of him?"

Chunhong consoled her, "Don't worry, Madam. Liu Lu won't agree to it. She has someone else in her heart."

Lu Lingxi suddenly became interested and asked, "Who is it? Do I know him? Is he someone close to the prince..."

"Oh! Crown Princess, Chunhong, you've gone too far!" Liu Lu interrupted before Lu Lingxi could finish her words. "It's very immoral for you to gossip about other people's private affairs in front of others like this."

Lu Lingxi raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked upwards, pretending to think deeply before saying, "Oh. How about you go out for a while? Wait until I finish asking questions?"

Liu Lu refused: "I won't go out. Chunhong, don't talk nonsense. How can I have a lover? If you talk nonsense, then I will lie that you like someone else."

Lu Lingxi and Chunhong both knew that Liu Lu was really anxious, and might even be really angry. A good marriage might be ruined because of a few jokes from them, which would be even worse.

So Lu Lingxi stood up and hugged Liu Lu's shoulders and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Don't be angry. I'm happy that you're about to find someone you love and have a happy marriage, so I asked a few more questions. And you started the conversation yourself."

Liu Lu remembered that she was the one who started the conversation, and said with some disappointment: "I was just saying it casually, and you kept asking me about it, which is embarrassing. Can't I say it now if I don't want to say it?"

Lu Lingxi continued to coax her, "Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it." But he thought to himself: I'll find a chance to get you away and ask Chunhong, hehe.
