The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Lingxi saw that there was finally a little light in Gu Yaner's eyes. He couldn't bear to extinguish it, so he had to bite the bullet and answer her: "Yes, there is still hope."

Gu Yan'er's expression suddenly brightened, and she excitedly held Lu Lingxi's hand and looked at her. After a while, she became even more sad, lowered her head and muttered to herself: "Where is there any chance of turning around? There is no hope, unless I die, I can wait for the next life."

When Lu Lingxi heard Gu Yan'er say this, he panicked and tried to comfort her, "Sister Gu, please don't say that. There are always infinite possibilities when you are alive, but when you die, there is nothing left. You must not think too hard."

Gu Yan'er heard Lu Lingxi comforting her, and quickly forced a smile at her, as if to reassure her. Then she laughed at herself and said, "Lingxi, don't worry, I won't commit suicide. I am a coward, always looking back and forth, and afraid of pain, so how can I have the courage to commit suicide."

Lu Lingxi thought to herself, "Oh! Once this topic started, Sister Gu kept going off on a tangent and talking about it in circles. I can't get out of this or that. I have to change the subject quickly."

Lu Lingxi: "Sister Gu, please don't say that about yourself. You are the most talented woman in this capital. The noble ladies in this capital all take you as their role model. How can we deal with ourselves if you say that about yourself so badly? I envy Sister Gu's piano skills the most. I was mesmerized when I heard her play last time. Unlike me, I can't even play a complete song now. Sister Gu, how about you give me some pointers when you have time?"

Gu Yan'er was able to divert some of her attention when she heard Lu Lingxi talking about playing the piano. Playing the piano can indeed relax her mind and relieve some of the depression in her heart. However, she did not dare to boast that she was a great piano player, and said modestly: "What can I teach you? I just started learning earlier and practiced a few years more than you. You are so smart. If you practice hard, you may even surpass me in the future."

Lu Lingxi spread out his palms and showed his fingers to Gu Yan'er. "Sister Gu, look at my fingers. They are all calloused and my nails are cracked. I am diligent, but I haven't made any progress. Daddy said that I didn't practice martial arts so seriously before, but I could make progress just by practicing casually every day. He said that I really don't have much talent for playing the piano."

Lu Lingxi felt a little depressed as she spoke. Her favorite instrument before was the guzheng. She envied those young ladies who could play it, playing it with ease, elegance, momentum and temperament.

Lu Lingxi imitated the way Gu Yan'er played the piano at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time, and said excitedly: "When Sister Gu played the piano like this at the banquet last time, I thought she was a fairy descending to earth."

Hearing Lu Lingxi say this, Gu Yaner burst out laughing, a laugh from the heart. While laughing, she poked Lu Lingxi's little head with her hand, "Girl, when did you become so slick?"

Lu Lingxi said with a straight face, "I'm not being glib, I'm being realistic. Maybe Sister Gu, you're really a fairy who came down to earth to experience trials and tribulations?"

Originally, Lu Lingxi was also a materialist, but after experiencing her own time travel, she had to believe that maybe gods and ghosts really existed, but few people had seen them.

Gu Yan'er suddenly became a little sad again, and said with a lonely look: "Then I must have made some mistakes in heaven, and the suffering I have experienced is a punishment for me."

Lu Lingxi suddenly felt a little confused. Why was she laughing just now and now she is so stubborn? This is a sign of depression, Sister Gu. No wonder, she must have stayed in her room like this for so long and never left the room.

So Lu Lingxi suggested: "Sister Gu, I see the weather outside is nice today, do you want to sit in the yard and play a song? I also want to listen to Sister Gu playing the piano."

Gu Yan'er wanted to refuse, she had been feeling tired lately and just wanted to stay alone, not wanting to move at all. But seeing Lu Lingxi's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to agree. After all, they didn't have much time together, and maybe this was the only time he played music just for Lingxi.

Seeing that Gu Yan'er agreed to his request to play the piano in the courtyard, Lu Lingxi hurried forward to help Gu Yan'er who was about to lift the quilt to get out of bed. He said with concern: "Sister Gu, go slowly, I will support you."

When the door opened, Chunrou exclaimed, "Miss, why did you come out? It's windy outside, be careful not to get a cold."

Gu Yan'er did not respond to Chunrou's exclamation immediately, but blocked the light with her hands, half-squinting her eyes, feeling a little stinging in her eyes. It seemed that she had not walked out of the room for a long time, and she could not even adapt to the light outside.

Lu Lingxi looked at Gu Yan'er's movements and comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Gu. You'll get used to it in a while. You'll feel different if you walk around more often."

After saying that, he turned back to Chunrou and said, "Chunrou, you don't have to worry about Sister Gu. She came out to see the sun. It's only good for the body, not harmful."

Although Lu Lingxi said this, Chunrou was still worried and looked at Gu Yaner worriedly.

Gu Yan'er smiled and nodded at Chunrou, indicating that she was relieved, and said, "Chunrou, go get my piano. The weather is so nice today, I want to play a song to relax."

Although Chunrou was still worried about her young lady's health, she saw that she was indeed in much better spirits today than in the past few days, so she said respectfully: "Yes, young lady, I will go get your piano right away."

After Chunrou left, Chunhong stepped forward to support Gu Yaner, while Liulu followed Lu Lingxi and walked towards the pavilion in the yard together.

After sitting down, Lu Lingxi said something else: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is more magnificent than my house. Sister Gu's boudoir has a pavilion in the courtyard, but my courtyard only has a stone table in the corner, surrounded by four stone benches, which is very simple. Daddy is a man after all, and he is not very careful. He doesn't know how to add a pavilion to the stone table and chairs. What will we do if it rains?"

Gu Yan'er: "Lingxi, how can you say that about the Marquis?"

Liu Lu: "Yes, you can't blame the master for this. I remember that the master also said that he wanted to build a pavilion. It was you, young lady, who said that if it was raining or the sun was scorching, you could just walk a few steps to your room. Why did you have to stay outside? You are not stupid. In fact, it was you, young lady, who found the building of the pavilion annoying because of the hammering and banging all day long."

Seeing Liu Lu exposing his own plan, Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Ah! That's what happened, it turns out that I blamed Daddy wrongly, I have lost my memory and forgot about it. Liu Lu! Don't say anything nonsense in front of Daddy when we get back home later, it's all a misunderstanding."

Chunhong quickly signaled to Liulu to stop talking and not disturb the masters' conversation.

Liu Lu only looked at Lu Lingxi, not noticing Chun Hong's expression, and continued, "What's the matter? The master has always loved the young lady, and even if he knows that you say he is not careful behind her back, he won't do anything to you."

Lu Lingxi suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at Liu Lu fiercely: "You mean you have to complain when you go back today? I will punish you according to the family rules. Chunhong! Go!"

After saying that, he didn't care whether Chunhong was on the stage or not, and he was going to chase Liulu. Chunhong hurried forward to remind him: "Be more stable, we are in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, not the Marquis' Mansion."

After hearing this, Lu Lingxi came back to his senses, sat down next to Gu Yan'er, and said apologetically: "Sister Gu, don't be offended. We are used to playing around. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Gu Yan'er smiled and said, "You two have a really good relationship."
