The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Yi looked at his wife's tombstone, and recalled the kindness of that gentle and beautiful woman to him, and couldn't help but smile. Then he slowly said to Lu Lingxi: "Your mother is a double-faced person."

Huh? These words startled Lu Lingxi, and he thought, "Dad, are you sure this is a compliment? And you said it in front of my mother's tombstone, aren't you afraid that she will come to you at night?"

Before Lu Lingxi could raise any objection to Lu Yi's words, Lu Yi continued, "Back then, it was said in the capital that your mother was the most dignified, generous, well-educated and well-mannered noblewoman. Your grandfather thought that we had practiced martial arts for generations and were often criticized for being vulgar. If we could marry the most gentle and virtuous woman in the capital as a daughter-in-law to support our family and change other people's inherent impression of our family, that would be absolutely great. At first, your grandfather did not agree. Because they encountered bandits while traveling, your grandfather and your father saved your grandfather's family together. Your mother also said that she was willing to marry your father, and the marriage between the two families was finally settled."

"The day I rescued your mother, I looked at her face and realized that I had seen her before. Do you know? When your mother first met you, she was not as gentle and dignified as the rumors said. Do you know what she was doing?" He looked at Lu Lingxi with a smile in his eyes. Lu Lingxi did not respond and waited for Lu Yi to continue.

Your mother was lying on the tree digging out bird nests. Your mother's personal maid, Wang Qing, kept shouting under the tree: "Miss, come down quickly. If the master sees you climbing the tree again, he will ask you to copy books again."

But your mother shouted from the tree: "What are you afraid of? Daddy is busy discussing Buddhism with the abbot right now and has no time to come and see me."

Wang Qing added: "Miss, be careful and don't fall down."

Your mother jumped down from the tree in a flash, and proudly said, "This height is not a problem for me."

As soon as your mother finished talking to Wang Qing, she saw your father not far away. Her expression changed immediately. She spoke softly but with a pinched voice, "Sir, hiding and peeking like this is not what a gentleman does."

At that time, I only noticed that your mother looked cute and lovely on the tree. Suddenly, I was asked a question by your mother, and I was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer. I could only hurriedly bow and say, "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." Then I turned around and left.

At this time, your grandmother happened to come over and saw the bird eggs in your mother's hand. She exclaimed, "Minjun, what are you doing? Are you climbing up the tree to rob the bird's nest again? This is a pure Buddhist place. You are killing animals. What a sin!"

Your grandmother clasped her hands together, saying "sin, sin" and walked quickly to your mother. She grabbed her ear and said in a stern tone, "Why don't you come with me and kneel before the Buddha to repent?"

Your mother held the bird eggs in one hand and pulled your grandmother's sleeve, which was pulling her ear, with the other hand, and begged for mercy: "Mother, I am wronged. I didn't mean to kill them. I just wanted to take them home to help incubate them, and then raise them myself after they hatch."

Your grandmother probably felt that there were outsiders present, so she still had to consider your mother's face. After looking at your father, she loosened her grip on your mother. She still didn't believe her: "You want to help it hatch? You can succeed? Who do you think you are? Okay, stop quibbling, and find a way to put it back."

Your mother said with a look of surprise: "Mother doesn't blame me for climbing the tree anymore. Let me climb it again?"

Your grandmother was so angry that she was about to pull your mother's ears again.

Your father quickly spoke up to help your mother out: "I can do it for you."

At this point, Lu Yi asked Lu Lingxi proudly: "How is it? Lingxi, is your father very considerate?"

Lu Lingxi couldn't judge whether her father's action was thoughtful or not. In fact, what she really thought was, "Dad, you weren't thoughtful, you were stupid! Are you sure mother wanted you to see being scolded by your grandmother? Instead of leaving quickly, you went up to talk to her?"

Glancing at the busy servants, he saw that they were almost ready, so he quickly changed the subject, "Dad, they seem to be ready. Let's worship mother first. When we go down the mountain and return home later, Dad can tell me about mother in detail, okay?"

Seeing that the servants were almost ready, Lu Yi retracted the sweet emotions he had just indulged in memories, and his expression became much more serious, with a bit of sadness. He took the paper money handed over by the servants and took Lu Lingxi to burn paper for her mother.

While burning paper, Lu Yi said, "Madam, I brought Lingxi to see you again. Lingxi is now more sensible and obedient than before, and she also studies hard. I feel that she has grown up a lot and is not as willful as before. I believe that you know about this and are blessing her in the afterlife. You must continue to bless her in the future. In addition to blessing her to be well-behaved and sensible, you must also bless her to be safe and healthy. Lingxi is our child, and we should both contribute to her education. But don't send a dream to Lingxi, don't scare the child, if you have anything to say, just come to my dream and tell me, I will help you tell Lingxi."

Lu Lingxi, who was standing by, couldn't help but complain about his father in his heart, "Dad, listen to yourself, is what you say reasonable? Mom is lying here, and you still ask her not to forget to take care of the baby and help. If Mom could really help, she would scare you to death."

Lu Yi didn't know what Lu Lingxi was complaining about, and continued to talk about random things. I don't know who said that I was dumb and couldn't speak.

When the paper was almost burned, Lu Yi had almost finished talking, so he stood up and said to Lu Lingxi, "Lingxi, come forward and kowtow to your mother."

Lu Lingxi obediently stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed, silently saying in his heart: "Don't worry, mother, I will be filial to father in the future."

After Lu Lingxi kowtowed, he stood behind Lu Yi, who stared at his wife's tombstone in a daze. After waiting for a long time, the fire that had just burned paper money was completely burned out. Lu Yi then gave the order for the servants to pack up and go down the mountain.

The way down the mountain was much easier to walk than the way up, and she no longer had to be out of breath due to fatigue. Lu Lingxi then pestered Lu Yi to continue telling her the story of him and her mother.

Lu Lingxi: "Dad, please tell me more about Mom's story. I just told you the beginning. I really want to know more about Mom."

Lu Yi looked at Lu Lingxi, who was pulling his arm and acting coquettishly, with a curious look on his face. He poked her forehead and said, "I don't think you look very curious about your mother. You just look like you want to hear gossip."

When Lu Lingxi heard this, she pouted in dissatisfaction: "Dad, how can you say that to me? How can a daughter listen to her parents' gossip for fun? I'm not that kind of person."

Lu Yi smiled helplessly: "Okay, Daddy just told you, don't be angry."

So on the way back, Lu Yi never stopped talking, and kept telling the story of him and Lu Lingxi's mother.
