The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Lingxi and Gu Yan'er sat and chatted in the yard for a while, and Chunrou came back holding Gu Yan'er's piano.

Chunrou placed the piano in front of Gu Yaner and stood behind her properly.

Gu Yan'er looked at Lu Lingxi with a smile and asked, "What song do you want to listen to?"

Lu Lingxi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know many songs. Sister Gu, what do you want to play now? Or you can play the song from the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it's very nice."

Gu Yan'er: "I played "Wild Geese Falling on the Flat Sand" before, which is not suitable for today's scene. Let's change to "Lotus Emerging from the Water"."

After seeing Lu Lingxi nod, Gu Yan'er turned around and concentrated on plucking the strings. Suddenly, the clear and elegant sound of the piano spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mrs. Gu's room was the closest to Gu Yan'er's room. When she heard the piano music, she was overjoyed. She thought, "It seems that it was right to invite Miss Lu over. Yan'er is in the mood to play the piano now. I hope she has figured it out."

When Gu Yan'er played the piano, Lu Lingxi stared at her without blinking. She looked very confident. The sunlight shone on her white clothes, and she was shrouded in a halo, looking mysterious and beautiful. She thought, if she were a man, she would have no regrets in her life if she could marry someone like Sister Gu.

Gu Yan'er's initial idea was to play the piano to entertain Lu Lingxi, but as she played, she became immersed in the mood of the song.

My current situation is like a lotus stem that is still pressed under the mud and pond water. It has to wait to break through the mud and emerge from the water before it can bloom its own beauty. Before, I lacked the courage and dared not break through. With the end of this song, it seems that something has broken through the shackles.

After Gu Yan'er finished the song, she turned to look at Lu Lingxi and said sincerely, "Lingxi, thank you."

Lu Lingxi was originally immersed in Gu Yaner's music, but suddenly heard her thanking him and was confused.

Puzzled, he asked, "Ah? Sister Gu, why are you thanking me? I should be the one saying thank you, your playing is so beautiful."

Gu Yan'er: "No, I should thank you for letting me play the piano. I have been feeling sorry for myself before, but after playing this song, I figured out a lot. Thank you!"

Lu Lingxi was even more confused. What was going on? Was this what Buddhists called enlightenment?

Lu Lingxi didn't know what Gu Yan'er had figured out, but seeing that she was smiling more cheerfully and confidently than before, he felt relieved. He also smiled happily and said, "It's good that Sister Gu has figured it out. If you figure it out, you will get better soon."

Gu Yan'er: "Haven't you been practicing the piano recently? I'll give this piano to you, okay? This piano is my favorite since I was a child, and it's most appropriate to give it to the person I love most now."

When Lu Lingxi heard that this was Gu Yan'er's favorite zither, he dared not take it and quickly refused, "Since it is your favorite, sister Gu, how can I take it? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others like. Besides, I really have no talent in playing the zither. It would be a waste of such a good zither."

Gu Yan'er: "Lingxi, just accept it. I just figured it out. If I want to change the current situation, I have to give up some things. It is precisely because this is my most precious zither that I want to give it to you. Even if I don't give it to you, I can't take it away."

Lu Lingxi seemed to have grasped the key point of Gu Yaner's words: "Leave? Where are you going, Sister Gu?"

Gu Yan'er smiled mysteriously: "I'm not going anywhere, I just said it casually, you should accept this piano."

Gu Yan'er finally picked up the piano without giving in to Lu Lingxi's request and placed it in his arms.

Lu Lingxi felt that it would be hypocritical to refuse again, so he handed the zither to Chunhong and thanked Gu Yaner: "Thank you, Sister Gu."

After the gift of the zither was settled, Lu Lingxi and Gu Yan'er talked for a while in the yard, and then it was time for lunch.

When Lu Lingxi and Gu Yan'er arrived at the main hall, Prime Minister Gu and Madam Gu had already arrived and were sitting at the top. Gu Yan'er stepped forward and saluted: "Daddy, Mom, how are you!"

Lu Lingxi also followed Gu Yan'er in greeting, "Prime Minister Gu, Madam Gu, how are you!"

After both of them finished their greetings, Prime Minister Gu said politely, "Miss Lu, there's no need to be so polite. It's really thanks to Miss Lu that my wife and I can have a meal with Yan'er today. She hasn't wanted to leave her room for a long time."

Mrs. Gu said nothing and looked at the two of them lovingly.

This was the first time that Lu Lingxi had spoken to Prime Minister Gu, and he said a little nervously, "Your Excellency is too kind."

In fact, Prime Minister Gu said this because he thought it was humorous and wanted to show his easygoing nature. He didn't want Lu Lingxi to answer anything. Seeing Lu Lingxi still standing there and looking a little reserved, he said, "Miss Lu, please take a seat. Just treat it as if you were at home. Don't be restrained."

Lu Lingxi stood behind Gu Yan'er, bowed and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!" Then he sat down with Gu Yan'er.

During the whole meal, none of the four spoke. Lu Lingxi pretended to concentrate on eating, but in fact he looked at Prime Minister Gu, then at Madam Gu, and then at Gu Yan'er. The three of them ate exactly the same, quietly, elegantly, without making any sound, like mass-produced robots, with every movement carefully designed to reflect their elegance.

On the other hand, Lu Lingxi was a little reserved, and didn't even know how to use her chopsticks. She ate a few bites casually, and when she saw Gu Yan'er put down her bowl and chopsticks, she also said that she was full. Gu Yan'er put down her bowl and chopsticks, and didn't leave the table. Lu Lingxi also waited with her. After Prime Minister Gu and Madam Gu finished eating, they left the table first, and then Gu Yan'er and Lu Lingxi left the table. No other words were said during this period.

After following Gu Yan'er back to her yard, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Gu Yan'er saw Lu Lingxi sighing and said hurriedly, "It's really hard for you. You are usually so lively, but you can hold back from talking for so long. I'm sorry, my parents are both people who value rules, so it's a bit dull when we get along normally."

Lu Lingxi: "Sister Gu, please don't say that. I'm not boring. I'm not a talkative person. But, your family really implements the saying 'no talking while eating, no talking while sleeping' very thoroughly? There really is no one saying a word, not even the sound of eating."

Gu Yan'er smiled and said that she was used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Lu Lingxi continued, "I originally thought that veterans like my father who inspected the troops on the battlefield were the most powerful and imposing. Today, after meeting the Prime Minister up close, I felt that the Prime Minister's aura was not low either. When the Prime Minister was silent, he was intimidating without even getting angry. I didn't even dare to breathe when I was standing next to him."

When Gu Yan'er heard Lu Lingxi talking about her father like this, she couldn't help but joked, "Please keep your voice down. If my father hears these words and gets angry, you'll be scared to the point of peeing your pants."

Lu Lingxi: "Sister Gu, I... How can I be so cowardly? Besides, the Prime Minister is very generous, why would he bother with a little girl like me? I'm not afraid."

Gu Yan'er suddenly turned around and shouted, "Daddy! Why are you here?"

Lu Lingxi was startled and turned around to salute, but he didn't see Prime Minister Gu behind him. He stamped his feet angrily and said, "I think Sister Gu's illness is completely cured. She is even in a good mood to tease me. Then I won't accompany you. I'm going back." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, as if he would never have any contact with Prime Minister Gu again after leaving this door.

Gu Yan'er was afraid that Lu Lingxi would really leave like this, so she quickly pulled her arm and apologized: "Okay Lingxi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you, please stay with me for a while. With you by my side, my illness will heal faster. Now I'm almost fully recovered. You are my panacea. Maybe if you stay with me for a while longer, I will be completely cured."

Lu Lingxi chatted with Gu Yan'er for an hour in the afternoon before returning to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
