The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

When Lu Yi heard Lu Lingxi's question, he paused, took a deep breath, thought about what to say, and then spoke slowly.

"The biological mother of the current Crown Prince, the former Queen, died not long after giving birth to the Crown Prince. Her maternal family was not very powerful, but the current Majesty and the former Queen had a strong relationship, so the Majesty favors the Crown Prince. However, the maternal families of the Prince of Qi and the current Queen are powerful, and the Prince of Qi has always been unwilling to be inferior to the Crown Prince. The two forces are secretly turbulent, but on the surface they are getting along well because of the Majesty. There will definitely be a fight between the two forces in the future, and it is hard to say who will be able to take the throne in the end. The Prime Minister's Mansion is the maternal family of the current Queen and the Prince of Qi. Prime Minister Gu Qingfeng is the biological brother of Queen Gu, and Gu Yan'er is the niece of the Queen. So Daddy doesn't want you to get too close to Gu Yan'er."

"Dad, what you mean is that we don't stand on the side of Prince Qi? Then Dad, will you remain neutral or stand on the side of the Crown Prince?" Although Lu Lingxi didn't quite understand the ancient feudal dynasty and the fight for the throne, he could understand it when watching TV dramas in the past. One must be cautious when standing on the side, or one may end up with disasters such as the confiscation of property and the extermination of the whole family if one is not careful.

Lu Yi thought that Lingxi was already engaged to the Crown Prince, and had basically gotten on board with the Crown Prince, so he said bluntly: "We in the Zhenguo Marquisate are on the Crown Prince's side. After all, the Crown Prince is the eldest son of the Emperor, and it is legitimate for him to inherit the throne, and the Crown Prince has not made any major mistakes so far."

"Oh, so, does that mean that Sister Gu and I are enemies? But I think Sister Gu and I are just two little girls. I just want to make another good-looking friend. It has no impact on the so-called overall situation. We never talk about politics. Is this not okay?" Lu Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable. Sure enough, this so-called big family has more problems and restrictions than ordinary families. Even making friends requires so much consideration. Unlike before, when you meet people of the same age who you can talk to and have the same hobbies, you can be friends, and you never have to worry about family background.

"You can be friends on the surface, and it's okay to say polite words at various gatherings, but it's best not to have too much contact in private." Lu Yi saw that Lu Lingxi seemed to like Gu Yan'er very much, but they were both in high positions now, and the complicated relationship between them really didn't allow them to make friends as they pleased.

"Dad, can this still be called a friend? It's too fake, right? Just believe me, Sister Gu must be a good person with a kind heart. It is said that appearance reflects the heart, and I can really see it." Lu Lingxi shook Lu Yi's arm and begged.

"Xinniu, these things are nothing to joke about. Just listen to your father's advice. If you want to make friends, there are many candidates. It doesn't have to be Gu Yan'er." Lu Yi patted the back of Lu Lingxi's hand and comforted her.

"Daddy means that when you see someone in the future, you should first ask about her family background and whether her family is on the prince's side before deciding whether you can make friends with her. But what if she is lying, and secretly is on the King of Qi's side, but tells others that she is on the prince's side. How would I know, how could I tell the difference?" Lu Lingxi retorted somewhat depressedly.

"So you should discuss everything with daddy, and daddy will help you figure it out." Lu Yi said patiently to Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi let go of Lu Yi's hand and sighed deeply: "I suddenly feel that this is so boring. Daddy means that I won't go shopping with Sister Gu tomorrow?"

"You still have to go tomorrow. We made an appointment in front of so many people. It would not be nice to break the appointment without a reason. After all, it is the Prime Minister's Mansion and we can't offend it easily. Besides, Daddy promised to let you take two days off. It would not be good to let you miss a day and then blame Daddy in your heart, right?" Lu Yi could see that Lu Lingxi was unhappy, reached out and touched her head, and said lovingly.

"Really? Thank you, Daddy. I knew you were a man of your word." When Lu Lingxi heard Lu Yi give in, she happily took Lu Yi's arm again and said coquettishly.

"But, this won't happen again. Let Yugang accompany you tomorrow. Your brother has always been a steady child. It will be more reassuring to let him stay with your father." Lu Yi said and nodded to Lu Yugang, affirming his performance so far.

"Don't worry, godfather, I will definitely protect my sister." Lu Yugang has always been respectful in front of Lu Yi.

"I like you, brother, too. You said today that you would teach me how to ride a horse. Don't forget it." Lu Lingxi said to Lu Yugang with a smile.

"Okay! I won't forget, and I will do what I promised you." Lu Yugang said solemnly.

"Okay, you're all tired today, and you have to get up early tomorrow, so go back to your rooms and rest." Lu Yi saw that he had said almost everything he needed to say to Lu Lingxi, and it was getting late outside, so he asked Lu Lingxi and Lu Yugang to go back and rest early.

Lu Lingxi and Lu Yugang bowed and left respectively.

When Lu Lingxi returned to Lingxi Garden, Liu Lu had already fallen asleep beside the table, while Chunhong was still watching over Chang Wei and Xiao Hua, not blinking, and doing her best. The two little ones were still sleeping soundly, and it seemed that the two little guys had not woken up during the time when Lu Lingxi went to have dinner.

"Chunhong, thank you for your hard work. Please put the doghouse next to my bed so that I can take care of them at night. You and Liulv have been tired all day, go down and have a rest." Lu Lingxi approached Chunhong, afraid of waking up Chang Wei, Xiaohua and Liulv, and spoke in a voice so low that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"Today, Chunhong and I will sleep in the side hall and not go back to our own rooms. If the young lady has any instructions at night, we will be able to hear them." Chunhong also imitated Lu Lingxi and spoke in a low voice.

"Well...that's fine. You guys should go and have a rest." Lu Lingxi agreed with Chunhong's suggestion.

Chunhong put the doghouse at the end of Lu Lingxi's bed and woke up Liu Lu. The two of them went to sleep in the side hall together. Lu Lingxi also tidied up quickly and fell asleep in the bed after a while.

Because he was very tired today and went to bed late, Lu Lingxi slept very deeply. He didn't know how long it had been before he heard some humming sounds. He rubbed his eyes and looked towards the doghouse at the end of the bed. Chang Wei and Xiaohua were both moving, squinting their eyes and arching their heads forward, as if they were looking for something.

After a few seconds, Lu Lingxi's brain began to think again. The two little guys must be hungry. It was still dark in the sky, probably early in the morning. Lu Lingxi couldn't tell the exact time. The two little guys were getting hungry so quickly.

"Chunhong, Liulv, can you hear me? Go get some more milk or sugar water. Chang Wei and Xiaohua are hungry again." Lu Lingxi shouted towards the side hall.

"Okay, miss, I heard you and will go right away." Chunhong replied immediately after hearing Lu Lingxi's voice, as if she had not slept all night and was on standby at all times.

Chunhong looked at Liulu who was still sleeping soundly. Not wanting to wake her up, she went to get it by herself.

Not long after, Chunhong came back with only sugar water in her hand. "Miss, the milk should be left over from the day. It was used up then. Now there is only sugar water."

"Just let them drink it first. Go and explain the situation tomorrow. Prepare more milk for Xiaohua and Changwei every day. Milk is more nutritious."

"Okay, miss."

Lu Lingxi fed Chang Wei and Xiaohua with sugar water according to the previous method, and the two little guys fell asleep peacefully again.

"Chunhong, it's still early, you should go back and sleep for a while." Lu Lingxi said tiredly, yawning.

"Well, Miss, you have worked hard, take a good rest." Chunhong said. She respected her young lady more and more.

Chunhong had thought that when Lu Lingxi brought the two puppies home, she would think it was troublesome to take care of pets like other young ladies, and would just leave them to the servants, and ask them to take them out to look at and play with them when they were free, and that she would consider them as her own. Unexpectedly, her young lady did everything herself, holding them, feeding them, and watching them sleep. She didn't mind the trouble at all, and didn't feel tired at all. Such a young lady must be kind and soft-hearted.
