The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Because it was a big festival, Lu Yi let Lu Lingxi rest for several days.

Early this morning, the servants began to get busy, cleaning the courtyard, hanging the image of Zhong Kui on the door, and inserting mugwort leaves on the door beam.

Lu Yi knew that Lu Lingxi loved to be lively, so he agreed to let her go out to play today and watch the dragon boat race. He also prepared a small boat for her so that she could go boating by herself. But she had to come back early in the evening to have dinner together.

After breakfast, Lu Lingxi, Chunhong, Liulu, and the two dogs Chang Wei and Xiaohua went out together.

Why was Lu Yi so confident in letting the girls go out? Because Lu Lingxi had accidentally seen Lu Yi doing morning exercises before, and followed him to do a few moves, and found that he had quite a lot of strength in his hands. After fighting with Lu Yi for a few more moves, he was also able to do it with ease. It seemed that the original owner had indeed practiced and had muscle memory.

Lu Yi was also relieved and said: "It seems that although you have lost your memory, you have not forgotten all your martial arts skills. This is good. You have a certain ability to protect yourself, and Daddy will be more at ease." Later, when he was free, he would take Lu Lingxi to practice together.

Lu Yi thought that if he met someone with some family background and status, he would not bully Lu Lingxi because of her status. If he met some ignorant thugs, they might not be able to beat Lu Lingxi. In addition, Lu Lingxi never liked to be followed by a large group of people, so he agreed to let the three of them go out and play by themselves.

The place for the dragon boat race was still by the Chunhui River, but not where Lu Lingxi went last time. It was upstream. The river here was wider, the current was faster, it was closer to the city, and a dam was built to facilitate people to watch the dragon boat race.

Lu Lingxi and the other two squeezed into the crowd, Chunhong hugged Chang Wei, and Liu Lu hugged Xiaohua. They were discussing the game situation, which team was from Zhenbaozhai, which team was from Tianyifang, and which team was from which restaurant... If they won, there would be a prize.

"I heard that this time the prize was funded by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi." Someone said mysteriously.

"Oh, wasn't it always the people from the Chamber of Commerce who paid the prize in the past? Why is it His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi who paid the prize this year?" the person next to him asked in confusion.

"Who knows? How can we ordinary people understand the thoughts of these princes? I also heard that the King of Qi will also come to watch the game. Look, he is at the top floor of the tall building." He pointed to a tall building in the distance.

Lu Lingxi also looked in the direction of the man's finger and saw a wooden tower with seventeen or eight floors. In ancient times, this was the tallest building. From a distance, Lu Lingxi could only see a few figures swaying on the top floor. The lower the floor, the more people crowded in. It should be divided according to the level of power, who can climb to which floor. It is not difficult to guess what the King of Qi is thinking, it is just for fame.

Lu Lingxi still likes this lively scene. He walks among the crowd and buys his favorite snacks.

Over at the Denggao Tower, someone reported to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi: "Your Royal Highness, Miss Lu, the daughter of the Zhenguo Marquisate, has also come to watch the dragon boat race, but she did not come to the Denggao Tower to watch the excitement among the people."

"What can you see when you're crowded together with these commoners? I really don't understand this Miss Lu." The King of Qi glanced arrogantly in the direction of Lu Lingxi. There were people everywhere, and it was impossible to tell who was Lu Lingxi.

Gu Yan'er, who was following the King of Qi, said sympathetically, "Cousin, let's invite Lingxi to come and watch the dragon boat race together. It's high up and you can see far, Lingxi will definitely like it."

"Okay, go and ask Miss Lu to come over." The King of Qi pointed at the servant who had just reported and asked her to go and ask Lu Lingxi.

"Yes." The man saluted, answered simply with one word, then turned and went downstairs to do his job.

Lu Lingxi was planning to buy a string of candied haws to eat, and was thinking that Chunhong and Liulu should also buy a string, and when it was time to buy three strings, a man in black clothes with a sword on his waist suddenly stood in front of Lu Lingxi and saluted, "Hello, Miss Lu, my master, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, invites Miss Lu to the high tower to watch the game."

When he said this, everyone around looked at Lu Lingxi. They had seen her squeezing around in the crowd before, but they didn't realize she was a lady from an official family. Which lady would be like her? They all looked at her as if she were some strange animal.

She glanced at the eyes of the people around her and felt that it might be inappropriate for her to stay here any longer.

"Is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi the only one upstairs? If there's no one else, it wouldn't be appropriate for it to be just me and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi." Lu Lingxi thought it was not a good place to stay. I could go to another place, but it was not a good idea for me to go directly to the Prince of Qi, so she wanted to find a reason to refuse.

"In addition to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, there is also Miss Yan'er from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Miss Lu, there is no need to worry." The visitor answered in a serious tone.

"Sister Gu is here too? Okay, let's go over and take a look." But looking at the candied haws in her hand, she became troubled again. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to buy one only for herself? Should I buy another string for King Qi and Sister Gu respectively?

The person who came to invite Lu Lingxi saw her staring at the candied haws in a daze. She said she was going to leave but she was standing still. So she took out a small ingot of silver and gave it to the old man selling candied haws. "This lady wants all your candied haws." Without saying a word, she carried the candied haws on her shoulders and led the way.

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi waved to Chunhong and Luliu, signaling them to follow, and she turned around and followed the man carrying the candied haws. She thought: "I didn't expect that this guy has an ordinary appearance, but when he does things, he acts like a domineering president." What she didn't know was that he just wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and go back to report.

As soon as Lu Lingxi reached the top floor of the building, Gu Yaner came over and greeted him warmly, "Lingxi, you're here, come and sit down."

The King of Qi stood by the fence, turned around slowly, and waved his folding fan in his hand, smiling like a flower, as if to say, "Come and admire my elegance, but don't let me dazzle you."

Lu Lingxi quickly bowed her head to avoid the King of Qi seeing the disdain in her eyes, "Your Highness, I greet the King of Qi."

"There are no outsiders here, Lingxi, there's no need to be polite. Get up quickly." The King of Qi hurried forward to help Lu Lingxi up.

Lu Lingxi thought to herself: "This King Qi is really outgoing. He calls me Lingxi even after only meeting me a few times. He even wants to get ahead of me and have physical contact with her?" Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and took a step back to avoid physical contact with the King Qi.

The King of Qi's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, and then silently retracted it. He clenched his right hand into a hollow fist and put it to his mouth, coughing dryly, "Ahem, I haven't seen Miss Lu for a few months. She is really getting more and more beautiful."

Now is the time when spring and summer meet, and it is starting to get a little hot. Today, Lu Lingxi wore a light yellow gauze dress. Her little face was rosy from the sun, and her two dimples were faintly visible when she spoke, which really caught people's attention.

"Sister Gu, come and see, this is Chang Wei and Xiao Hua." Lu Lingxi waved her hand and asked Chunhong and Liulu to bring the two puppies over to show Gu Yan'er. At the same time, she changed the topic of King Qi to avoid it going on and on.

"Put them on the ground. They have been held in your arms for so long, let them move around on their own." Lu Lingxi pointed to the ground in front of her and said to Chunhong and Liulu. That place just separated her and the King of Qi.

"Sister Gu, do you think they are cute? When they were just born, they were only as high as the instep of my feet, but in more than two months, they grew to the height of my calf." Lu Lingxi excitedly introduced her two little pets to Gu Yan'er.

"It shows that Lingxi, you take good care of them. Isn't Master Lu with you today?" Gu Yan'er looked down from the stairs to see if anyone else wanted to come up.

"My brother has gone to the front line to join the army. I don't know when he will be back. Sister Gu, do you have anything to ask him about? Next time you write to him, I can help you tell him." Lu Lingxi didn't understand why Gu Yan'er suddenly mentioned Lu Yugang, and thought she wanted to ask Lu Yugang for help with something.

"Ah, it's nothing. Why would I bother Master Lu for no reason? I just saw that he always accompanied you when you left the house before, so I felt a little strange that he didn't see you this time, so I asked casually." Gu Yan'er answered calmly to hide her disappointment. He went to the front line? I'm afraid it will be more difficult for us to meet in the future. Do I have no choice? Can I only marry the King of Qi?

The last time they went shopping, Lu Yugang saved Gu Yaner, which left a strange feeling in Gu Yaner's heart.

After returning home, she thought over and over again, comparing the King of Qi and Lu Yugang. Although Lu Yugang's reputation, status, and family background were not as good as the King of Qi, she still liked Lu Yugang more. He was loyal and kind, considerate to his sister, and filial to his adoptive father. He would definitely love his wife very much in the future. Besides, how could a person taught by such a dedicated person like General Lu be a playboy? So she wanted to have more contact with Lu Yugang, make him like her, and then find a way to marry him, but now she didn't even have the chance to meet him, what else could she do?
