The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

As the carriage rocked, Lu Lingxi began to yawn again. He opened his mouth wide and yawned several times in a row, using his hands to block his yawns.

Seeing Lu Lingxi like this, Gu Yaner asked with concern: "Lingxi, did you not sleep well last night? You keep yawning now."

"Yeah, I woke up once in the middle of the night last night and got up a little early in the morning." Lu Lingxi answered honestly.

"Oh, why did you wake up in the middle of the night? Did you have a nightmare? If you didn't get enough rest, you don't have to get up early in the morning. You should rest more. Send someone to tell her, and we can make an appointment next time." Gu Yan'er said considerately.

"I didn't have a nightmare. I just got up to feed the puppies milk and sugar water. It took a while. They were hungry in the morning, so I got up early to feed them." Lu Lingxi smiled sweetly when she mentioned the two puppies.

"Oh, why did you suddenly think of raising a pet, especially a puppy that is still drinking milk. Raise one that is a little older so that you will have less worries." Gu Yan'er always spoke in a gentle tone, but this time there was a hint of doubt.

"It's a long story..." Lu Lingxi told Gu Yan'er again about the incident yesterday when the kite string broke and entangled the female dog, and the male dog came out to ask for help. The more he talked, the sadder he felt, and he still blamed himself.

Gu Yan'er looked at Lu Lingxi's low mood and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself, you didn't mean it."

Lu Lingxi sighed and said, "If you think about it carefully, this unintentional mistake is even more cruel. They are struggling in pain over there, parting with each other, while I, the culprit, am chatting and laughing without knowing anything. The comparison makes me feel even more uncomfortable."

"Okay, don't think like that. You have taken on the responsibility now and are taking care of the two little guys. It's already very good. Many people don't care about their life or death. It's because of you that the two puppies have a chance to survive, otherwise they might not have survived. Life is like this, with blessings and disasters interdependent. No one can predict what will happen in the future." Seeing that Lu Lingxi was becoming more and more depressed, Gu Yan'er comforted him, and at the same time seemed to be talking to herself.

Gu Yan'er thought that her family said that it was her blessing to marry the King of Qi, saying that the King of Qi had a promising future and that she could fight for a high position. She might even become the queen who ruled the country. And the King of Qi seemed to like her very much, so they would definitely have a story of deep love in the future.

In fact, Gu Yan'er knew clearly that the King of Qi valued power the most. He didn't like Gu Yan'er as a person, but the daughter of the Prime Minister. Just like he didn't really like Lu Lingxi when he approached her, he just liked the identity of the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo and the power behind it. Therefore, Gu Yan'er didn't show much hostility towards Lu Lingxi. But is it really a blessing to marry such a person? What if I lose my value in the future, how will he treat me?

"Yeah, sister Gu is right. The priority now is to take good care of them and not think too much. The two little guys haven't opened their eyes yet, so today I specially left Chunhong in the house to look after them. Chunhong is very careful, I feel relieved to leave them to her. I also named them. The pure black one is called Chang Wei, and the black and white one is called Xiaohua. When they open their eyes and can run, sister Gu, do you want to come and see them?" Lu Lingxi had endless things to say when he mentioned the two little puppies. Before they started shopping, they made an appointment with Gu Yan'er to meet next time. Suddenly I remembered what Lu Yi said, asking her not to make friends with Gu Yan'er privately in the future. I don't know if sister Gu can still come.

When Gu Yan'er saw Lu Lingxi mention the puppy, her eyes sparkled and were clear and bright. She sighed in her heart: This is such an innocent little girl. She also smiled gently from the bottom of her heart and nodded and agreed: "Well, when you invite me, I will definitely come to see how cute they are."

The two kept talking and chatting, and time passed quickly. When they arrived at the street, Lu Yugang said outside: "Miss Gu, Lingxi, the street market is ahead. It is not convenient to park the carriage in the middle as it will block the road. Let's park the carriage here and walk over." After saying that, he got off the horse.

When Lu Lingxi heard what Lu Yugang said, he immediately lifted the car curtain and said, "Okay, brother, we'll come down right away."

After saying this, he jumped down from the carriage in a hurry, without even waiting for the stool to be put down. Gu Yan'er waited for the stool to be put down, and then slowly walked down from the carriage with the help of the maid, each step was as soft and light as walking on clouds. The two of them had very different personalities at first glance, but they were inexplicably harmonious, which was probably because their personalities complemented each other.

The market sells fabrics, jewelry, rouge, books, paper, wontons, sugar figurines, bamboo baskets, toys for children, lanterns, snacks, cakes, and specialties from other countries. Lu Lingxi thinks everything is very rare. He touches it here and looks at it there. These are all handmade. The working people are really admirable and creative.

Suddenly, Lu Lingxi was attracted by a stall selling foreign specialties. He ran over and picked up a teardrop-shaped bag with a wooden stopper at the mouth. "Boss, what is this for?"

"This is a water bag from the Northern Zhan Kingdom. It's made of sheepskin. They often have to walk on sandy ground without water, so they carry this with them to hold water. Here, some people love to drink, so they carry this with them to satisfy their cravings whenever they want to drink. Miss, you can buy one for your father. If he loves to drink, he will definitely need it and will praise you for being filial." Seeing that Lu Lingxi was interested, the vendor enthusiastically introduced and sold his things.

"I'm buying it for my own use. How much is it?" Lu Lingxi thought this thing was very practical and planned to buy it.

"I didn't expect that the young lady also loves wine. Please forgive my short sight. This one is five taels of silver." Seeing that Lu Lingxi liked the sheepskin water bag very much, the small vendor took the opportunity to raise the price.

"I didn't buy it to drink, it has other uses." Lu Lingxi was not very clear about the price level in ancient times, and was not very good at bargaining, so he took out the money while talking.

"Lingxi, what are you buying this water bag for? Can you use it normally?" Lu Lingxi ran fast just now, and now Gu Yan'er is walking towards her with lotus steps. Seeing that she wanted to buy a water bag, she thought she was cheated by the boss and quickly stopped her from paying.

"Sister Gu, look, this can be used to hold water, and the opening is so small. I thought of using this to hold milk, stuffing some cotton cloth in the opening, and letting Chang Wei and Xiaohua suck the milk themselves. It's much easier than my previous method." As he said this, he showed the water bag to Gu Yan'er.

"Well, your idea is good, but this is not worth five taels of silver."

"Boss, this two taels of silver, my sister bought it." As he spoke, Lu Yugang put the money on the vendor's table. This price was more fair, and the boss could make a little money. Although the Zhenguohou Mansion was not short of money, it could not be taken advantage of.

"Oh, sir, I will lose money if you do this, why don't you add some more." After saying this, the vendor quickly picked up the silver on the table.

"Boss, if you don't want to sell it, we can go to other stores. I think you're not the only one that has it." Gu Yan'er said gently.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm selling it to you at a loss to open a business." When the vendor heard Gu Yan'er say she was leaving, he quickly let go. It was unlucky to lose the money he had earned so early in the morning. Besides, he didn't lose money, he just made less money.

"Thank you, boss." Lu Lingxi was as happy as if he had bought some rare treasure.

Gu Yan'er thought that a little girl like Lu Lingxi would definitely buy some clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder when shopping, but she didn't expect that she actually bought a water bag for the little puppy. She was really dedicated and responsible.
