The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

The next morning, Lu Lingxi was woken up by Chunhong and Liulu, much earlier than usual. Because today she had to dress up well, from hair to heels, she had to be dignified and elegant, and she couldn't be slack in the slightest, in order to leave the best first impression on the nanny who came to class today.

After Chunhong and Liulu finished their work, Lu Lingxi looked in the mirror and saw his hair was combed to be shiny and smooth. He said speechlessly, "Isn't this really necessary? Long hair is hard to wash. If it is so oily, do I have to wash it every day?"

"Okay, okay, miss, please be patient. You'll only see Madam combing your hair like this for the next ten days or so." Liu Lu said as she helped Lu Lingxi set up breakfast.

Lu Lingxi could sense some impatience in the little girl's tone, and said in a fake angry tone: "Liu Lu, you are becoming more and more perfunctory in your work now!"

Liu Lu ignored her, knowing that she would not be really angry. She just said to herself: "Miss, please stop dawdling and come to eat. If you are late and get punished by the nanny, don't blame us. By the way, Miss, be careful when you eat, don't mess up your makeup, or you will have to spend time retouching it." Liu Lu said and went to do other things.

Lu Lingxi pursed his lips and said, "I know."

When Lu Lingxi finished her breakfast and came to the etiquette learning place, it was exactly the agreed time, 4:45 on the morning of the Mao hour, about 6 o'clock in the morning. Lu Lingxi felt that this time was already very early. In the past, she would get up at the Mao hour and start the class at the Chen hour. Today, she came to class at the Mao hour, but she didn't expect that when she arrived, the old lady was already in the study. Lu Lingxi thought, did this lady wake up at the Yin hour? Or did she not sleep all night? She came so early. And the old lady's hair was really combed meticulously.

The layout of the study is different from usual. There is no desk for writing, but an armchair.

Lu Lingxi walked into the study and bowed respectfully: "Lingxi greets Madam!"

Nanny Wei did not rush to ask Lu Lingxi to stand up. Instead, she slowly walked around Lu Lingxi, carefully observing her hands, feet, and body postures when she saluted. Then she said, "Miss, there is no need to be polite. Stand up quickly."

After Lu Lingxi stood up, Nanny asked him to sit on the chair and listen to the lecture. Lu Lingxi turned around, walked to the chair and sat down. During the whole process, Nanny Wei was observing Lu Lingxi's demeanor.

After Lu Lingxi sat down, Nanny Wei also bowed to Lu Lingxi and said respectfully, "Hello, Miss Lu!"

Lu Lingxi didn't expect that Madam Wei would bow to him, and he reached out to help Madam up in a panic, but the distance between them was a bit far, and he could hardly get up from his sitting position. He said, "Madam, please stand up. You are my elder, why are you bowing to me?" His whole body posture looked very embarrassed.

When Madam Wei heard what Lu Lingxi said, she stood up. After she stood up, she said in a stiff and cold tone: "Although I am a few years older than you, and can be considered your elder, after all, you are the master and I am the slave, so it is my duty to pay my respects to you."

Lu Lingxi smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Madam Wei continued, "I am unmarried, I don't have a husband's family, and I don't have a husband's surname. My surname is Wei and my given name is Si Niang. Young lady, just call me Madam Wei."

"Madam Wei? Then who are you and the butler Uncle Wei?" When Lu Lingxi heard the nanny introduce herself as having the surname Wei, he thought that she must be a relative of Uncle Wei.

"Butler Wei is my cousin." Nanny Wei answered concisely.

"I have been observing your words, actions, manners and demeanor since you first came in. I would like to give you a few suggestions." After introducing herself, Nanny Wei went straight to the point without any extra words.

When Lu Lingxi heard what Madam Wei said, he quickly sat up straight, ready to listen to her instructions, and said respectfully, "Madam, please speak."

"First of all, young lady is late today. Young lady came to learn etiquette, so she should have arrived earlier than me and waited for me, but she arrived a quarter of an hour later than me."

"Are you late? When I was learning to read with Master Yan, it was usually more than half an hour later than now." Lu Lingxi suspected that he had heard it wrong. It was only a little after six in the morning. How could it be late?

"That's because the young lady is too casual on weekdays. When you get married in the future, if your husband has to attend the early court, he must get up at 3 a.m. and help him wash and eat, so she has to get up earlier than him. You have to get up around 1:00 p.m. I only ask that you get up a quarter of an hour earlier than today, which is already generous." Madam Wei explained with a serious face.

When Lu Lingxi heard this, she raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes. She said nothing, but she was roaring in her heart: "My God, are people so arrogant nowadays? Chou time? It's probably between 1 and 3 in the morning! Why get up so early? Won't you feel sleepy during the day? Mammy, you don't want to get married just because you don't want to get up early to serve your husband, right? I've decided that I won't get married either!"

Wei Mama didn't know that Lu Lingxi was criticizing her in her heart, and she didn't care whether Lu Lingxi agreed with her or not. She said directly, "I have no control over when the young lady gets up on weekdays. Please be diligent and follow my rules for the next few days."

Lu Lingxi relaxed her body and said dejectedly, "Okay, Madam Wei."

Seeing Lu Lingxi slump, Nanny Wei reminded her, "Miss, please sit up straight." Then Nanny Wei criticized Lu Lingxi's clothing, hairstyle, salute posture, sitting position, and speaking demeanor. In a nutshell, Lu Lingxi was too casual in her daily life, which was far from the strict etiquette rules of the palace, and everything needed to be corrected.

Lu Lingxi listened to this and complained in his heart, it seems that everything I do is wrong, I feel that breathing the air is wrong. I originally came here with the mentality of listening to the secrets and gossips of the palace, but it turned out that I thought too much.

After finally making it to the lunch break, after Nanny Wei left, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but throw herself into Chunhong's arms and said coquettishly, "Sister Chunhong, Nanny Wei is too strict. I don't want to study anymore. Please go and plead with daddy and tell him that I will be a good boy in the palace and won't get into trouble. Can I stop studying? Woo woo woo~"

Chunhong, who is two years older, touched the back of Lu Lingxi's head with amusement. Liu Lu laughed beside him: "Come and see, whose little baby is this? He is so good at acting like a spoiled child. Huh?"

Lu Lingxi raised his head from Chunhong's arms, turned around and wanted to hit Liulu, but she dodged it nimbly. Seeing that he couldn't hit her, Lu Lingxi buried his head in Chunhong again and cried: "Sister Chunhong, you see she bullies me, and Wei Ma also bullies me. She told me to get up a quarter of an hour earlier than today. Wuuwuwu~~~ I'm growing up, if I don't sleep well, I won't grow tall in the future."

Chunhong knew that Lu Lingxi was joking and would not let her really report that she would not learn anymore. She just smiled and comforted her, "Okay, Miss, just bear with it for now. Madam Wei will only teach you for the next ten days. You can finish after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

After hearing this, Lu Lingxi continued to cry in Chunhong's arms regardless.

Liu Lu had no choice but to use her trump card: "Miss, I heard that the kitchen prepared a new dish today. It is a seafood that was urgently shipped from the Dongjing Dynasty. The lobster is more than one foot long."

Lu Lingxi became interested when she heard this. She didn't expect that in ancient times, when transportation was so backward and they lived so far from the coast, they could still eat seafood? She had to taste it, and then she stopped pretending to cry.

After lunch, Lu Lingxi took a nap for a while before continuing to study with Nanny Wei so that he would not feel sleepy during the afternoon lectures.
