The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Lingxi bought a water bag and walked around for a while. Lu Yugang saw that it was almost time for lunch, so he suggested, "Miss Gu, Lingxi, it's almost time for lunch. Let's eat first and then go shopping."

"Okay, brother, which restaurant do you like, Sister Gu? We can go to whichever restaurant you want to go." Lu Lingxi thought that Gu Yan'er must be more familiar with the restaurants in the capital than herself, and since she was the one who invited Gu Yan'er today, Gu Yan'er was the guest and she should take more care of her feelings.

"Actually, I seldom go out of the house to eat in restaurants, so I'm not sure which one is better. You guys should make the decision." Gu Yan'er really didn't know much about these things, and she usually ate at home.

"Let's go to Jingtingxuan. I've eaten there before and the snacks there are very good. You can try them." Seeing that the two girls were undecided, Lu Yugang gave them a suggestion.

"I have no objection. I'll listen to my brother. Hehe. Where's Sister Gu?"

"That's fine with me, let's go."

So the group went to Jingtingxuan. Because they would attract too much attention sitting in the hall with two beautiful young ladies, they booked a private room on the second floor.

When they sat down, Gu Yan'er and Lu Yugang sat on either side of Lu Lingxi. During the meal, Lu Yugang took care of Lu Lingxi, picking up dishes for her that she liked, listening to her carefully, and occasionally agreeing with her. The atmosphere between the two was particularly warm.

Gu Yan'er knew that Lu Yugang was not Lu Lingxi's biological brother, but only his sworn brother. In contrast, none of her biological brothers and sisters in the mansion had a better relationship with her than this pair of sworn brothers and sisters. Because they all had to be favored by their father to have a good life in the mansion, it was inevitable that they would intrigue against each other. Gu Yan'er was lucky because of her outstanding appearance and great use to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she was relatively favored on weekdays. She also practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and worked as a female flower arranger without slacking off for a moment to maintain her current position in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After getting married, she would have to compete for favor with the women in the backyard of King Qi, and her life would be spent in endless competition for favor.

"Sister Gu, why don't you eat anymore? Are you full after eating so little?" Seeing Gu Yan'er sitting there in a daze and not picking up her chopsticks for a long time, Lu Lingxi pulled her sleeve and asked.

Gu Yan'er came back to her senses, "Ah, it's nothing, you guys continue eating, don't worry about me, I've almost finished eating, I was just thinking about something, I didn't hear what you said, sorry."

"What's there to be sorry about? It's nothing important. Sister Gu, you only eat so little. Are you full? Will you get hungry while shopping later?" Lu Lingxi wanted to persuade Gu Yan'er to eat more.

"It's okay, I usually eat this much, so I don't feel hungry." Gu Yan'er felt like she had no appetite when she thought about the future.

"Haha! Do you think everyone is like you, able to eat three big bowls of rice in one meal? It's normal for girls to have small appetites. You'd better be careful to gain weight if you eat so much." Lu Yugang teased.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. When did I eat three big bowls of rice in one meal? It's obviously that the bowl is too small. Humph!" Lu Lingxi pouted in dissatisfaction.

Seeing her cute appearance, Lu Yugang couldn't bear to tease her. It would be bad if she got angry. So he stopped talking about this topic.

After lunch, the three of them rested for a while before leaving Jingting Pavilion. Lu Lingxi continued to run around on the busy street, looking at this and that, and found many things novel, but most of the things he bought were food.

"Sister Gu, look at this hairpin, is it pretty?" Lu Lingxi ran to a stall selling hairpins and picked up a snow-white hairpin with translucent gold and silver. She thought it suited Gu Yan'er's temperament very well, so she wanted to buy it for her and turned around to ask her if she liked it.

Lu Lingxi had always been running fast. Lu Yugang was a man and could keep up. Gu Yan'er was a delicate young lady after all, so she always lagged behind a little. At this time, she had just walked from the other side of the street to the middle of the street and was about to catch up with Lu Lingxi and Lu Yugang. When she heard Lu Lingxi's question, she was about to reply: "Okay..."

A cry of surprise came from the side: "The horse is frightened! Get out of the way!"

The people on the street were suddenly in chaos, running away and screaming.

Gu Yan'er was frightened and turned around to see the frightened horse pulling the carriage less than two meters away from her. She had never encountered such a situation before. Gu Yan'er panicked and her hands and feet were out of control. She didn't know what to do next. Seeing that she was about to be hit, she closed her eyes.

In a moment, the expected pain did not come. Her wrist was suddenly grasped by a strong hand, and with a strong pull, Gu Yan'er felt herself rushing forward quickly, with a carriage whizzing past behind her. She fell into a solid and strong embrace.

Lu Yugang was holding Gu Yaner's wrist with his left hand, and his right hand was protecting Gu Yaner's back, but he didn't touch her. It was just that the force he pulled was quite strong, and Gu Yaner's shoulder hit Lu Yugang's left chest. At this time, Gu Yaner could hear Lu Yugang's strong heartbeat, and she looked up at Lu Yugang's handsome face in a daze.

"Ms. Gu, I'm sorry for being rude due to the situation." As soon as the carriage passed by, Lu Yugang confirmed that Gu Yan'er was no longer in danger, so he immediately let go of her hand and took a step back to distance himself from Gu Yan'er.

"No, no, Yan'er also wants to thank Mr. Lu for saving me just now." Gu Yan'er lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lu Yugang. She slightly moved her wrist that was just held by Lu Yugang, as if something was missing.

"Sister Gu, are you okay?" Lu Lingxi also hurriedly stepped closer, took Gu Yan'er's hands, and looked her up and down, left and right, fearing that Gu Yan'er would be hit by the carriage just now.

"I'm fine. Your brother just saved me and the carriage didn't hit me." Gu Yan'er smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Lingxi, you guys wait here. I'll go see if I can help subdue this frightened horse." While Lu Lingxi and the others were talking, the horse was still running wildly.

"Okay brother, go ahead."

As soon as Lu Yu left, Gu Yan'er's personal maid, who was separated by the carriage, also ran to Gu Yan'er and looked her up and down, fearing that Gu Yan'er might have been injured. "Miss, are you okay? I was scared to death. If you were injured, how could I explain to the master and the mistress when I go back?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Gu, are you sure you are not hurt? I brought you out. If you were hurt, I would be to blame." Lu Lingxi also asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, the carriage really didn't touch even a hair of mine. Thanks to Master Lu for pulling me in time." Gu Yan'er said as she looked in the direction of Lu Yugang, and Lu Lingxi also looked at Lu Yugang.

Lu Yugang had already caught up with the frightened horse, grabbed the horse's back and jumped onto it, then pulled the reins hard, causing the horse to neigh and raise its two front legs, then jump for a while before finally calming down. Lu Yugang also got off the horse and handed the reins to the driver.

"Thank you, sir!" the driver thanked him sincerely.

"Brother, you looked so handsome on the horse just now. You were able to charm thousands of girls." Lu Lingxi said excitedly as Lu Yu just came back.

"What nonsense are you talking about again? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Miss Gu?" Lu Yugang smiled dotingly.

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Gu. She saw it too." When Lu Lingxi heard Lu Yugang accusing her of talking nonsense, she quickly retorted in dissatisfaction.

"Sister Gu, wasn't my brother very handsome just now?"

"Lingxi, don't be rude." Asking an unmarried girl so directly whether an adult man is handsome is really rude and abrupt. Lu Yugang quickly spoke up to stop Lu Lingxi.

But he didn't hear Gu Yan'er's soft "hmm" beside him.
