The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After Queen Gu announced the marriage between Prince Qi and Gu Yan'er, she took off her fine imperial green jade bracelet and put it on Gu Yan'er's wrist. She smiled kindly and said, "Yan'er, this was given to me by His Majesty on the day I was crowned as Queen. I will give it to you today, and I hope you will have a bright future."

Gu Yan'er wanted to refuse at first, but when she heard Queen Gu say that she hoped she would have a bright future, she was already the future Princess of Qi, what bright future could she have? Becoming a queen like her aunt? Maybe her aunt hoped that her son would have a bright future. After understanding Queen Gu's other meaning, Gu Yan'er could not refuse any more, so she knelt down and said, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward!"

Queen Gu patted the back of Gu Yan'er's hand with satisfaction and praised: "Good child!"

Queen Gu announced that Gu Yan'er won the title of "Fairy Under the Moon" and was getting married to the King of Qi. The women came to their senses and realized that today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was specially held for Gu Yan'er, and she was the protagonist of the night. Seeing that they had nothing to do, everyone congratulated Gu Yan'er, and the banquet was over, and everyone went home.

Lu Lingxi sat in the carriage on the way back home, staring at Chunhong and Liulu with unfriendly eyes. He just stared at them without saying a word, which made the two of them feel uneasy.

Liu Lu couldn't stand it anymore, so she sighed, relaxed her straight spine and said, "Oh! Miss, if you have anything to say, just ask. We are scared when you look at us like this!"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? You dare to hide such a big thing from me, what else can you be afraid of? I have treated you as my best friends all this time, and you treat me like this? You think I'm a fool, right?" Lu Lingxi said these words angrily, leaned back, folded his hands on his chest, turned his head to the side, and pouted, indicating that he was really angry.

Chunhong lowered her head and tried to analyze rationally: "I know that the young lady is unhappy, but the young lady should also understand that we dare to hide it from the young lady, it must be the master's intention. Without the master's order, we, as servants, would not be so bold."

Lu Lingxi didn't want to hear such words, and said even more angrily: "You mean, if you want to blame someone, blame Daddy, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Hearing Lu Lingxi say this, Chunhong and Liulu were about to kneel down and admit their mistakes, "That's not what we meant."

Lu Lingxi quickly stopped them and said, "No need to kneel! We are just discussing the matter at hand. You don't need to kneel and admit your mistakes."

Seeing that Lu Lingxi was not really angry with them, Liu Lu bravely explained, "You can't blame the master for this. The master is doing this for your own good. When you heard about your marriage to the Crown Prince, you bumped your head against a stone pillar and were unconscious for two days. The master has been worried about it all the time, and he can't eat or sleep well. The young lady should also consider the master more. The master only has you as his biological child. If something happens to you, how will you let your grandfather live for the rest of his life? So it's understandable that the master is cautious about this matter."

After listening to Liu Lu's words, Lu Lingxi also felt that there was some truth in them. Moreover, discussing these things with the two of them would not produce any results. It would be better to go back to the mansion and discuss it with Daddy. This time, I will definitely not use extreme means to make Daddy worry. Let's think of a way together and let Daddy give me some advice on how to cancel the engagement more reasonably. Talk nicely, Daddy will help me.

After thinking this through, Lu Lingxi stopped being angry with Chunhong and Liulu, but still said with a little dissatisfaction: "Okay, I won't pursue this matter. I'll go back to the mansion and discuss it with Dad. But you must promise not to hide anything from me in the future."

When Chunhong and Liulu heard Lu Lingxi say this, they knew that their young lady would not care about this matter anymore. They nodded with relief and promised to listen to Lu Lingxi in everything and not hide anything from her anymore.

Lu Yi also went to the palace to attend the banquet tonight, but the banquets for the outsiders and the female relatives were separate. When Lu Lingxi returned to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, Lu Yi had not returned yet. Lu Lingxi was anxious to find Lu Yi to ask about her marriage with the Crown Prince, so she did not rush back to her room after returning to the mansion, but went to Lu Yi's yard to wait for him.

After Lu Yi finished the banquet, he heard about what happened at the women's banquet on the way back home. He thought that the protagonist of the women's banquet today was Gu Yan'er, and no one would care about Lu Lingxi. Unexpectedly, someone still mentioned Lu Lingxi's marriage with the Crown Prince. Lu Yi felt that there would be chaos again when he returned home today, and it gave him a headache just thinking about it.

But Lu Yi thought about it and thought, this is also good, let others help me say it, I really don't know how to say it myself, by the time I return to the mansion, Lingxi will probably have calmed down and will be able to listen to me rationally? Otherwise, I will hide tonight, and maybe she will be calmer when she wakes up tomorrow morning, and we can talk about it then.

Lu Yi decided to return home later, so he drank for a while in the tavern at the night market before returning home slowly.

When Lu Yi returned home, the doorman opened the door for him and was about to announce loudly: "Master is back!" As soon as he said the word "Master", Lu Yi made a gesture to silence him, fearing that the noise would be too loud and wake up Lu Lingxi.

Unexpectedly, a low voice came from behind: "Daddy, you're back!" Lu Yi was startled, and when he turned around, Lu Lingxi was looking at him with a smile.

After Lu Yi calmed down his heartbeat, he glanced at the sky and said with a fake smile: "Lingxi, it's already late at night, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Lu Lingxi said with a fake smile: "Yes, I am worried about Daddy. Daddy didn't come back home so late. Did he have a lover outside? Or is there someone in the mansion that you don't want to see? I waited for you in your study for an hour. Seeing that you didn't come back, I ran to the side room next to the gate to wait for you. I was afraid that something might happen to you when you were alone outside, but you were drinking outside by yourself."

Lu Yi walked towards his own courtyard, not wanting to argue with Lu Lingxi in front of the servants and make a fool of himself, but also to hide his guilty conscience. He said as he walked, "Lingxi, you misunderstood me. How could I have a lover? You are my precious daughter, so why would I not want to see anyone? It's just because it's a festival today, and I'm happy, so I drank a few more glasses. Don't talk nonsense for no reason and make the servants laugh at you."

Lu Lingxi also followed Lu Yi to his yard. Lu Lingxi walked and thought, it is also our father and daughter who have something to discuss, it is better to discuss it slowly behind closed doors. It is too hurtful to accuse Dad in front of the servants.
