The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Lingxi didn't have to practice calligraphy today, so he left Xiao Yuer's room. The three of them had nowhere else to go for the time being, so they just wandered around in the garden. After wandering for a while, they felt a little hot, so they went to the pavilion to cool off.

After the three of them sat down, they let Chang Wei and Xiao Hua play by themselves.

Chunhong stared at Lu Lingxi in a daze for a while, and then, as if after careful consideration, she said solemnly: "Miss, I feel that Xiaoyuer seems to really like you today. He doesn't just want to tease you."

Chunhong's sudden voice startled Lu Lingxi and Liu Lu. They both patted their chests and looked at her in horror.

When Lu Lingxi heard this, he reacted and quickly retorted: "Chunhong, why are you following Liulu's lead and talking nonsense? This is the first time I met Xiaoyuer today, how could he fall in love with me?"

"That's right. I think Xiao Yu'er is a frivolous playboy. Even if he says he will pledge his love to you, he may not be sincere. People like him just don't have any status now. If he had a little power, who knows how many girls he would harm." Liu Lu also quickly echoed Lu Lingxi's sharp point of view.

Chunhong wanted to say that after her young lady rejected Xiaoyuer several times, she saw a hint of loss in his eyes. But then she thought that Lu Lingxi was engaged to the Crown Prince. If she was really convinced by her and fell in love with Xiaoyuer, wouldn't she have made a big mistake?

So she also echoed and said: "Liu Lu is right, he was indeed too frivolous today. I just want to remind you, young lady, that no matter what, Xiao Yu'er is still a stranger, and you should keep your distance from him in the future to avoid any trouble."

"Yeah, what you said makes sense. But it's not that troublesome. Can't you two just follow me all the time? Can't the three of us beat him alone?" Lu Lingxi thought that Chunhong and Liulu were thinking too much, and it was all fabricated. There was no need to worry, so he interrupted them with a smile.

"Miss, we are not going to fight with Xiaoyuer now. We just want you not to be deceived by his beauty. If you really fall in love with a powerless man like him who makes a living in a shady way, such a person cannot give you happiness." Liu Lu said quickly when she saw Lu Lingxi's disapproving expression.

"What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who judges people by their appearance? When I'm looking for a partner, I'd still like to find someone who shares the same interests and whom I can talk to." Lu Lingxi pretended to be stern and corrected Liu Lu's words.

"Miss, aren't you a person who judges people by their appearance? Then why do you insist on recognizing Miss Yan'er from the Prime Minister's Mansion as your sister?" Liu Lu continued to retort rudely.

"That's because Sister Gu is very beautiful, and her heart is beautiful too." Lu Lingxi's voice unconsciously lowered as he spoke. Uh, isn't this judging people by their appearance?

"Hmm~" Liu Lu's tone was rising, expressing deep doubt about Lu Lingxi's words.

"Okay, Liu Lu, the two of us will just keep watching over the young lady. This way, she and Xiao Yuer won't have any time to be alone, and they won't develop any messy feelings for each other. Besides, the master won't let Xiao Yuer, a stranger, stay in the mansion forever, right?" After hearing what Chunhong said, Liu Lu and Lu Lingxi calmed down and stopped bickering.

Not long after Lu Lingxi left Xiao Yuer's room, Lu Yi came to his room after the morning court session.

"Old minister, I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Yi immediately bowed to Nan Wangyu when he saw him. Seeing a stool beside the bed, he knew that Lu Lingxi had been there.

"Did Lingxi come to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What did His Royal Highness talk about with her?"

"General Lu, don't be nervous. I didn't reveal my true identity to Lingxi. I know why she lost her memory and I won't upset her." Nan Wangyu knew that Lu Lingxi lost her memory because she was dissatisfied with her marriage and bumped into a pillar. So he comforted Lu Yi.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. That is not what I meant. I am just afraid that Lingxi is arrogant and barbaric, and might say things without thinking, which might offend Your Highness." Lu Yi did not want His Highness to think that Lu Lingxi looked down on her, so she quickly explained.

"General Lu, don't worry too much. I like Lingxi no matter what she is like and I won't bother with her. Let's first talk about what happened in the court today."

"Before the morning court today, I reported to His Majesty the clues His Royal Highness had found, and that His Royal Highness was recuperating in my residence after being injured. His Majesty announced in the court that His Royal Highness was sent to patrol the north, and asked His Royal Highness to rest in peace in my residence, not to return to the Prince's residence, and not to show up in the capital at will, so as to avoid suspicion from Lu Qian and the people behind him."

What Lu Yi didn't say was that when His Majesty learned that it was Lu Lingxi who saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he praised Lu Lingxi and said that he had a good eye for people and that he had chosen a very good daughter-in-law. The Crown Prince and Lu Lingxi had a deep bond and would definitely grow old together, and so on. He originally wanted to reward her with some things, but then he thought that this matter couldn't be made public, so he gave up and said that he would reward her with some good things when he had the chance in the future. He was still embarrassed to say such excessive praise to his daughter directly.

"Then I will have to stay in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion for a while longer. I hope General Lu will tolerate it." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very satisfied with his father's arrangement. It was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the time he spent at the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to get along well with Lingxi and cultivate their relationship.

"Did Lu Qian and others make any unusual moves in the court today?" The prince was worried that his actions last night might have alerted the enemy.

"There is no unusual movement. I guess because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's night investigation last night, they will keep their troops in place in the near future. They will wait until the storm is over and they are sure that no one is investigating them anymore, then they will take action." Lu Yi answered everything. At this moment, the two of them were not in a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, but a monarch and his subject relationship.

"Okay, General Lu, I'll have to keep an eye on the affairs of the court for me. If there is any movement, please inform me immediately."

"Yes, I obey your command." Lu Yi bowed and said respectfully.

"General Lu, there is no need to be so restrained in your own house! Oh, it's my fault. I forgot to invite General Lu to take a seat." Nan Wangyu felt a little awkward when he saw Lu Yi bowing respectfully to him. After all, he was his elder, and his future father-in-law.

"General Lu, please take a seat." Thinking of this, he quickly pointed to the seat where Lu Lingxi had just sat and invited Lu Yi to take a seat.

Lu Yi looked back at the stool, then turned back and replied respectfully: "I will not sit down. I have official documents to read later. Your Highness the Crown Prince has not recovered from his injuries yet and needs to rest well. I will not disturb you any more."

"Oh, General Lu is very busy, I won't stay for long, you go ahead and do your work as usual, don't let me delay your work. I am an uninvited guest, and it would be a shame if I cause trouble to General Lu in other ways."

"How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be an uninvited guest? Our entire household welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Since you need to stay in my house for a while to recuperate from your injuries, I will send a reliable and sensible servant to serve you. Please feel free to ask for anything you need in life. I will report to you about court matters after court every day." Since the Emperor has given the order for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recuperate in the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, His Royal Highness's food, clothing, housing and transportation must be properly arranged.

"Well, okay, thank you very much, General Lu." Nan Wangyu readily agreed to Lu Yi's arrangement.

"Nothing else, I will take my leave now."

"General Lu, take care!" Nan Wangyu made a gesture of invitation with his right hand while speaking.

After getting permission, Lu Yi bowed once more before turning around and leaving the room. From beginning to end, Lu Yi was very polite and did not dare to overstep the line. After all, when he wanted to cancel the engagement for Lu Lingxi before, His Majesty had warned him.

After Lu Yi left, he assigned his former personal servant, Gu An, to take care of the prince's daily life. After all, Gu An was always by his side, and he was confident that he would do things in a safe way. It was hard to say whether it would be safe to assign someone else, so Lu Yi could use someone else first. Before Gu An left, he told him to take care of the prince with all his heart and responsibility, and to let him come back to him when the prince left, and not to tell other people in the mansion that this person was the prince, and to call him Master.
