The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

According to what Gu Yan'er said, the situation she and Mrs. Gu were in was indeed difficult and suffocating. After hearing these words, Lu Lingxi also began to fear marriage. According to Gu Yan'er, there would never be another person like Daddy in the capital.

"Miss Gu, after hearing what you said, I can probably understand your situation. You also said that we grew up in very different environments, have very different personalities, and definitely have different principles, so we are not suitable to be friends. In the end, you decided not to hand over my innocence to the King of Qi. I thank you, but I dare not be friends with someone who may drug me at any time. In the future, we will be like other noble ladies in this capital, just be polite and considerate, and there is no need to have a deep friendship." After saying this, Lu Lingxi stood up and wanted to leave. It was a pity to lose Gu Yan'er as a friend, but there was nothing she could do about it. This was the environment she was living in now.

Gu Yan'er held Lu Lingxi's hand, unwilling to let go. She begged, "Lingxi, I'm sorry! Please don't break up with me. If I hadn't knocked you out, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself to the King of Qi. I had to knock you out and call the King of Qi. I did everything according to his instructions. In the end, he entered the wrong room. This can't be blamed on me. He can't make trouble for me. You can understand me, right?"

"Miss Gu is really thoughtful. Should I thank you for racking your brains to come up with such a plan for me?" Lu Lingxi asked back.

"That's not what I meant. Lingxi, I really want to be friends with you."

"I don't understand. Actually, there is no need for Miss Gu to explain this to me. With Miss Gu's status and position, you don't have to be friends with me. What's more, you will be the Princess of Qi in the future, and there will be many people who want to be friends with you." Lu Lingxi was very puzzled by Gu Yan'er's humble behavior today.

"How many of those people are sincere? They all gather for profit and disperse when they fail. Only you are not after fame or fortune, and simply want to be friends with me. I just want to keep a true friend. So what if you are the Princess of Qi? It's still a repetitive life of intrigue." Gu Yan'er said with some melancholy.

"I haven't met you many times, how do you know I'm not here for profit?"

"Lingxi, I have worked my way up among the crowd of smart people. Who can't I see through?" Gu Yan'er smiled self-deprecatingly.

Lu Lingxi also sympathized with Gu Yan'er's situation. He sighed, as if he had let down his guard, and sat back down again: "Sister Gu, since you are willing to treat me as a close friend, I also hope that Sister Gu can live a happy life in the future. Let me ask you one more question, do you really like His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi so much that you don't care even if your future life will be full of endless struggles if you marry him? I don't think he is a good match for Sister Gu."

"Lingxi, based on what I just said, you should understand that it was not my own choice to marry the King of Qi. It was my father and Aunt Queen who needed such a marriage to consolidate the relationship. It was Aunt Queen who wanted to provide an extra guarantee for the future of the King of Qi. I am just a tool." Gu Yan'er no longer had the will to resist.

After listening to Gu Yan'er's words, Lu Lingxi was silent for a while, then spoke carefully: "Sister Gu means that you don't like the King of Qi either? Have you mentioned this to Madam Gu? Does she want you to sacrifice for her? Have you asked Prime Minister Gu? Is he really so cold-blooded that he doesn't care about the life or death of his own daughter? I believe that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Maybe it's because they have to make sacrifices in the world of fame and fortune, and maybe they hope that their children can be simple and happy without being forced by fame and fortune?"

After listening to Lu Lingxi's words, Gu Yan'er also fell into deep thought. Yes, mother seemed to not want me to marry someone I didn't like and live an unhappy life in the future. But how could I bear to implicate my mother? My father, who cares most about his reputation and status, how could he give up the marriage with the King of Qi for me? No, this is impossible. Thinking of this, Gu Yan'er shook her head and determined that there was no turning point in this matter.

Seeing Gu Yan'er shaking her head, Lu Lingxi guessed what she was thinking and tried to persuade her from another perspective: "Sister Gu, there is something I can't figure out. If it is true as you said, your parents don't care about your wishes for the sake of profit and let you marry an unsuitable person. Your children will also sacrifice for profit in the future. What's the point of living like this? I think someone has to make a change. And let me tell you one more thing. Queen Gu and your father are siblings, right? The relationship between you and the King of Qi is actually a direct blood relationship within three generations. You are a close relative marriage, and it may be difficult to have children in the future."

After hearing the first half of what Lu Lingxi said, Gu Yan'er still felt that everyone lived like this, and how to make a change was difficult and impossible. After hearing the second half of what Lu Lingxi said, Gu Yan'er's eyes were full of horror. "Lingxi, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Lu Lingxi couldn't explain genes and heredity to Gu Yan'er. This was a subject that couldn't be explained in a few words. Moreover, this kind of scientific viewpoint would be considered as an anomaly in this era. What if others found out and arrested him as a monster?

"I don't know how to explain this to you. Anyway, if conditions permit, it is better not to marry close relatives. I... also heard gossip from the servants in the mansion. They said that many cousins ​​seemed to be happy together, but in the end they had no children and lived a miserable life. So there must be some reason among them, but it has not been discovered yet." Lu Lingxi suddenly had an idea and shirked the responsibility by saying that he had heard it.

Gu Yan'er also recalled that she had heard about this before and it seemed that there was such a thing. She felt a little uneasy and was about to ask Lu Lingxi again when there was a knock on the door.

Chunhong's voice rang out from outside the door: "Miss Gu, Miss, the Queen sent someone to ask why you haven't changed your clothes in such a long time. Did something happen? If nothing happens, let's go back to the banquet hall first."

They did talk for a long time inside, so Gu Yan'er stood up and replied, "Go report to the Queen, nothing else, we'll be there soon."

In order not to worry Chunhong and Liulv at the door, Lu Lingxi also said, "Right away, I'll be right out."

It was rare that I had such a long chat with Gu Yan'er today, and I also understood her difficulties. Lu Lingxi no longer minded that she drugged herself, and only hoped that she could be happy in the future. She finally said sincerely: "Sister Gu, the Queen is anxious to find you back, probably to announce the news of your engagement with the King of Qi. But as long as you haven't gotten married yet, you can always find a way to escape this marriage if you think it through. If you need my help, just let me know. I just hope that you will be happy in the future and not regret your decision."

Gu Yan'er nodded and said, "Thank you Lingxi, I will think about it carefully."
