The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

The next morning, even though Lu Lingxi did not sleep well the night before, he still had to get up early. After all, he had promised to pick up Gu Yan'er, and it would not be good to keep her waiting for a long time.

After getting up and washing up, Lu Lingxi had breakfast, washed up, and fed Chang Wei and Xiaohua milk again. The kitchen was quite dedicated. Chunhong just ordered to prepare more milk every day, and it was immediately prepared and served.

Before Lu Lingxi packed up and went out, he still felt worried about the two little guys, so he took Chunhong's hand and said, "Chunhong, these two little guys are only two days old, and they can't even open their eyes. I'm really worried about leaving them at home like this while they're out. Can you stay in the mansion today and help me take care of them? I'll give you one more day off to go shopping and make up for it, okay? Mainly, I feel more at ease with you taking care of them."

"Miss, you're too polite. Don't worry. You trust me so much. I will do my best to take good care of Chang Wei and Xiao Hua and ensure their safety." Chunhong gave Lu Lingxi a reassuring smile, allowing her to go out without worry.

"Yes, okay. I feel relieved to leave them to you. You didn't get a good rest last night, and they are asleep. You can also take a rest with them and catch up on some sleep. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back later." Lu Lingxi said happily as he walked out of the house.

"Miss, please go quickly! We will be late if we go later. It will not be good to make Miss Gu wait too long. After having Chang Wei and Xiao Hua, why do you suddenly become like an old nanny, nagging and giving endless instructions?" Liu Lu looked at Lu Lingxi, who seemed to have more to say, and urged her with a hint of sarcasm.

"Oh! I'm here. They are still so young, it's understandable that I'm worried. Look, you're getting more and more mean. Have you dug all the bamboo shoots on the mountain by yourself?" Lu Lingxi quickly caught up with Liu Lu, who had been waiting at the door for a while, and retorted without giving in.

"Bamboo shoots? When did I go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots?" Liu Lu asked in confusion.

Lu Lingxi waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, it's just a pun."

"What is a pun?" Liu Lu was even more confused.

"What I mean is that you are getting more and more mean with your mouth. You will never be able to get married in the future. Hahaha!" While speaking, Lu Lingxi lightly tapped Liu Lu's lips, then ran away laughing.

"Miss, why are you so mean and always playing tricks on me?" Liu Lu quickly caught up with Lu Lingxi, muttering as she ran.

Today, Lu Lingxi and Liu Lu still rode in a carriage when leaving the house, and Lu Yugang followed beside the carriage on horseback.

When we arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was a little later than noon. There was no one at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After Lu Lingxi got off the carriage, he did not see Gu Yan'er. He said nervously: "Brother, why is Sister Gu not waiting for me at the door? Did she leave first because I was late? Or is she angry and doesn't want to go shopping with me."

"Sister, you're overthinking. It's not appropriate for Miss Gu to wait for you at the door. People are coming and going here and watching. If the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion stands at the door like this, people coming and going will inevitably point fingers. It's more appropriate for her to wait for you in the mansion. I'll have someone knock on the door and ask first."

"Yeah, what you said makes sense, brother. Let's send someone to ask." Lu Lingxi was already a little late, and he felt embarrassed to keep Gu Yan'er waiting any longer, so he hurriedly urged Lu Yugang to knock on the door.

The servant knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone there? Miss Zhenguohou Mansion, Lu Lingxi is here to pay her respects!"

The doorman of the Prime Minister's Mansion heard the shout and hurried to answer the door. He opened the door and shouted, "Miss Lu, please wait a moment. I will go and tell her right away."

When the concierge went to pass the message, Lu Lingxi couldn't help looking inside, wanting to see what the prime minister's home looked like. But the door was blocked by a large carved stone wall. Lu Lingxi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had to go around to get to the main door every time before going out. It turned out that there was such a large stone wall in front of the door. This design is to prevent outsiders from seeing all the facilities and arrangements in his house at a glance. The stone wall in front of the prime minister's door is carved with fairy cranes. Lu Lingxi hasn't paid much attention to what is carved in his house yet. He must take a good look when he returns.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Yan'er came out from the edge of the stone wall. She was wearing a light green long dress and had a bun on her head. She looked calm and composed, not at all annoyed by the long wait. She echoed the fairy clouds on the stone wall, like a fairy who was not interested in worldly things and had come down to earth. Lu Lingxi was a little stunned.

Seeing Lu Lingxi standing there in a daze, Lu Yugang tugged at her sleeve. Only then did she come to her senses and hurried over to him.

"I'm sorry to have kept Sister Gu waiting for a long time. I overslept this morning and got up a little late. Sister Gu looks even more beautiful in her green dress today than yesterday. She looks like a fairy from heaven. I was stunned." Lu Lingxi expressed his true thoughts just now.

Such straightforward compliments, coming from a girl's mouth, made Gu Yan'er startled at first, then she smiled and said, "You are so sweet! I just packed up, and Miss Lu came at the right time, not too late. You don't have to compliment me like this, I won't blame you."

"I'm not complimenting you, I'm speaking from the heart. Please get in the carriage, we'll talk on the way." While Lu Lingxi was talking to Gu Yan'er, she had already come to the carriage. She made a gesture to invite Gu Yan'er to get in first.

After Gu Yan'er and Lu Lingxi sat down, Lu Yugang told the driver to start the journey.

Because Lu Lingxi was traveling with Gu Yan'er this time, it would be a bit crowded if the maids all rode in the carriage, so there were only Lu Lingxi and Gu Yan'er in the carriage. Liu Lu and Gu Yan'er's accompanying maids walked beside the carriage. Fortunately, they were not in a hurry and the carriage moved slowly, so it was not difficult for the maids to keep up.

"Sister Gu, where do you want to go today? Do you need to buy anything? I'm the one who invited you out to play today. Just tell me what you want to buy. Daddy gave me a lot of pocket money. I'm treating you today, so don't be polite, sister." Lu Lingxi said generously.

Gu Yan'er smiled lightly and said gently, "I don't lack anything, and I don't have anything to buy. Where do you want to go shopping today, Miss Lu? I'll accompany you."

Lu Lingxi didn't sleep well last night. Now the carriage was rocking slowly like a cradle, and Lu Lingxi actually felt a little sleepy. He couldn't help but yawn, "Ah~, Sister Gu, you are asking me. I have no memory of what happened before. This is the first time I go out shopping after waking up. I don't know where to go. But it doesn't matter. When shopping, we just look around and buy whatever we like, okay."

"Okay, I'll follow Miss Lu's arrangements." Gu Yan'er still said in a gentle voice.

"Sister Gu has been calling me Miss Lu, which is too formal. Just call me Lingxi." Lu Lingxi heard Gu Yan'er calling her 'Miss Lu' all the time, which sounded too distant, so she suggested to Gu Yan'er.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Lu Xiao~~Oh, no! Lingxi." Gu Yan'er didn't act pretentiously and changed her words.

Gu Yan'er thought that calling him in a more intimate way would make people relax their guard and allow them to show their true intentions.
