The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After finishing Master Yan's class in the morning, Lu Lingxi and Xiao Yu'er got up to see Master Yan off. Lu Lingxi suddenly asked Xiao Yu'er, "I have a Go class this afternoon. Do you want to join me?"

Xiao Yuer smiled jokingly, "Lingxi, are you inviting me? Do you want me to stay with you forever?"

Lu Lingxi quickly retorted: "No, I didn't. I was just asking casually. Daddy said you had to go to class with me, and I thought you had to take all the classes together."

"I also want to accompany you, but my injuries are not fully healed yet, so I still need to rest more. I won't go in the afternoon. You see, my left hand can't move much now." As he said that, Xiao Yuer moved his left hand with great effort to show Lu Lingxi.

"Okay, okay, I've already said I was just asking casually, you don't need to explain so much. I'm leaving first, go back to your room and have a good rest." After saying this, Lu Lingxi took Chunhong and Liulu out of the study. In fact, she just wanted to find out whether Xiaoyuer had to take all the classes together. Every time she talked to him, he always talked about irrelevant things and rarely said serious words. She didn't want to talk to him anymore in the future.

Xiao Yuer watched the backs of Lu Lingxi and the other two leaving, smiled dotingly, and thought to himself: "So my future Crown Princess is so easily teased? Isn't it said that she is bold and vulgar? Doesn't she behave rudely like a man? Why do I feel that she is so shy, she is obviously a beautiful, gentle and lovely girl. It seems that the rumors are wrong. Don't tease her like this in the future. What if she is scared away?"

When Lu Lingxi brought Chunhong and Liulu back to Lingxi Garden, it was almost time for lunch. Soon the kitchen sent the food over, and the three of them ate together. There were no so many rules for the three girls to eat together, and they always talked while eating, and it was usually Liulu who started the conversation.

"Miss, I think Mr. Xiaoyuer is so strange. Whenever Master Yan asks him questions, he speaks slowly and methodically, and answers seriously. But whenever he talks to Miss, he teases her." During class today, although Chunhong and Liulu did not sit together to listen to the lecture, they stood at the back and paid attention to Master Yan's lectures. They also had a full view of Lu Lingxi and Xiaoyuer's performance in class. Liulu felt that Xiaoyuer was like two people with different personalities when facing Master Yan and Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi still held the chopsticks in her right hand, but it did not affect her spreading her hands. "How should I know? He might think it's humorous for him to talk to me like this."

"Oh, do you really find that humorous, Miss?"

Lu Lingxi curled his lips and said, "I don't think so. I feel offended. I don't want to talk to him again. We are not familiar with each other."

"Maybe Xiaoyuer just wanted to attract the lady's attention, but he used the wrong method." Chunhong tried hard to restore Xiaoyuer's image in Lu Lingxi's heart.

Because she received a task from the Prince's Mansion two days ago, asking her to help Xiao Yuer capture Lu Lingxi's heart. Her current identity is not only Lu Lingxi's personal maid but also the secret guard of the Prince's Mansion. What she really can't understand is that Lu Lingxi is the future Crown Princess, why would His Royal Highness give such an order? Did he believe the rumors and dislike the young lady? Oh! This is good, maybe the young lady will be happier if she doesn't become the Crown Princess.

"Why does he want to get my attention?" Lu Lingxi asked puzzledly.

"Maybe I really fell in love with you at first sight?" Chunhong guessed boldly.

"Falling in love with the young lady at first sight? I can believe that it was love at first sight considering Miss Yan'er's appearance. Our young lady is at most a pretty girl from a small family. If you want me to believe that Xiaoyuer fell in love with the young lady at first sight, I would rather believe that Xiaoyuer is just a frivolous person." Liu Lu immediately retorted when she heard Chunhong's words.

"What's wrong with being a pretty girl? Is a pretty girl not worthy of being liked? Humph!" When Lu Lingxi heard Liu Lu's words, he crossed his hands in front of his chest, pretending to be angry, and snorted coldly with a pout.

"Miss, you really have to trust me this time. You can't be abducted by such a person." Liu Lu said sincerely while holding Lu Lingxi's hand.

"Hmph! You said I'm not pretty enough, I'm unhappy, and I won't listen to you." Lu Lingxi said and turned his head to the side.

Liu Lu looked at Lu Lingxi and followed her example, crossing her arms and turning her head to the other side. "Miss, you are so childish. If you don't listen to me, I won't play with you anymore. Humph!"

Chunhong looked at them like this and couldn't help but complain in her heart, "Two childish ghosts."

Seeing them keep doing this, not eating, and ignoring each other, he smiled helplessly, "Okay, stop making trouble, both of you. Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold." He reached out to pull Lu Lingxi's folded hands, trying to separate them. But Lu Lingxi dodged arrogantly.

Chunhong could only use other things to distract them.

"Miss, do you remember? The master's birthday is coming soon?"

"Daddy's birthday? When is it?" Lu Lingxi's attention was immediately diverted.

"June 1st."

"June 1st? Children's Day?" Lu Lingxi asked with his head tilted.

"What Children's Day?" Liu Lu was once again using her talent for getting to the bottom of things.

"There's no such thing as Children's Day. How old is daddy this year?" Lu Lingxi quickly changed the subject.

"This year is the master's 40th birthday. The mansion should make preparations early and hold a grand banquet for the guests. Miss should also prepare a birthday gift for the master early." Chunhong explained to Lu Lingxi.

"Turning forty, that means thirty-nine? Daddy is still quite young. Why don't you wait until he turns forty to have a big wedding?" Seeing how long Lu Yi's beard was, Lu Lingxi thought he was already in his forties or fifties, but he was only thirty-nine. That's right, Lu Lingxi is only fifteen now, and Lu Yi got a daughter at the age of twenty-four, which is considered late marriage and late childbearing in the ancient feudal society.

"Miss, haven't you ever heard of 'a man has no hair when he is 39, and a woman has no blessings when she enters the world'? If the master is a man, he should have a grand wedding when he is 39." Liu Lu explained to Lu Lingxi.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for reminding me. I should prepare a birthday gift for Dad in advance. If I do it too hastily, it will not reflect my feelings. I need to take some time to think about this issue carefully." He then held his chin with both hands and began to think seriously.

"Ah~ What should I give? I have never thought of giving my father a gift before. What would a man of his age like? Daddy is a military commander, so it is definitely not appropriate to embroider a flower for him; draw a picture for him? But even though I have studied painting and calligraphy for several months, I still can't show anything good. Sing a song or dance for Daddy at the banquet? No, no, that would definitely make people think I am frivolous and embarrass Daddy; how about I teach myself how to forge a sword and a set of armor for Daddy? No, no, that's too difficult!"

Seeing Lu Lingxi frowning and thinking for a long time, as if she had not thought of a satisfactory birthday gift, Chunhong reminded Lu Lingxi, "Miss, this matter is not urgent at this moment. You should finish your meal first and then think about it slowly."

After hearing Chunhong's words, Lu Lingxi picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued eating, but she didn't speak and her eyes were unfocused. She was still thinking.
