The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After Lu Lingxi returned to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion, he rested in his room for a while.

In the evening, she had dinner with Lu Yi again, and during the dinner, she reported the things that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion as usual. She and Gu Yan'er were really close friends, and they talked about little gossips of girls, which were harmless, so Lu Yi did not comment too much.

At the end of dinner, Lu Yi said, "Lingxi, go to the prince's horse farm to learn horse riding the day after tomorrow, and stay at home and read the book your brother wrote for you tomorrow."

Lu Lingxi was a little puzzled: "Why do we have to go to the prince's horse farm? Our family is so big and powerful, don't we have a horse farm?"

Lu Yi: "You are talking nonsense again, kid. Our family is poor, what do you mean by rich and powerful? We are just a few people. Your brother and I were able to ride and raise horses in the military camp. We didn't think of letting you learn before, so we really don't have a stable. It's normal not to have one."

Lu Lingxi: "Even if we don't have a horse farm, we don't have to go to the Crown Prince's horse farm, right? Can't we go somewhere else?"

Lu Yi said with some guilt, "You also know that your current identity is the Crown Prince's fiancée, so it is not appropriate to go to other horse farms. Moreover, the day after tomorrow is the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take a day out of his busy schedule to personally teach you how to ride a horse. It would be even more inappropriate to go to other horse farms." When he said the latter part, Lu Yi's voice was obviously much softer, and he did not dare to look directly into Lu Lingxi's eyes.

Lu Lingxi was struck by lightning and said in horror: "Didn't Daddy say last night that you would teach me how to ride a horse yourself? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Lu Yi: "Dad has something to do the day after tomorrow and won't be able to spare the time."

Lu Lingxi: "Dad, I didn't say I have to learn it the day after tomorrow. I can wait until you are free to learn it."

Lu Yi straightened his sleeves, as if he was looking for an excuse. He couldn't say that he was under pressure from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He straightened his sleeves while walking out the door, his mouth still busy, explaining to Lu Lingxi: "Oh! Isn't it the end of the year? Official duties are quite busy, and Dad has to deal with various official duties. And recently a group of new soldiers came, I have to watch them train, these brats are in a mess without anyone watching them, if they don't train well now, they will lose their lives on the battlefield."

Lu Lingxi listened to his father's explanation attentively and stupidly. Before he could react, Lu Yi walked out of the room, quickened his pace, and disappeared in a flash.

Lu Lingxi shouted from behind: "Dad, that's not right. What do you mean the end of the year is approaching? Isn't it only the middle of September now?"

Seeing that Lu Yi had walked far away and might not have heard him anymore, he still muttered, "Besides, you are a great marquis of Zhenguo and a first-rank general who protects the country. Do you think it's appropriate to let you train new soldiers?"

Lu Lingxi was originally quite angry that his father did not keep his promise, but then he thought, this is a good thing, I didn’t meet the Crown Prince the day before yesterday, so let me meet him the day after tomorrow.

Lu Lingxi also got up early the next day, fed Yunzong and talked to it for a while, which strengthened their relationship. Then she went back to Lingxi Garden to study the book on equestrianism that Lu Yugang had just written for her.

On the day of going to the Prince Horse Farm to learn horse riding, Lu Lingxi got up early.

When they went there, Lu Lingxi took Chunhong and Liulu in a carriage, and the servant led Yunzong and walked beside the carriage.

Lu Lingxi had been lifting the carriage curtains to look at Yunzhong all the way, and occasionally said a few words to it, "Yunzhong, your hair is so beautiful, so soft and shiny." "Yunzhong, are you tired after walking for so long? Do you want to take a rest?" and so on...

Liu Lu also stretched her head out to look at Yun Zong, but her words were meant to tease Lu Lingxi: "It's a good thing I didn't bring Chang Wei and Xiao Hua out today. If they saw you trying so hard to please Yun Zong, they would definitely be jealous."

Lu Lingxi: "What nonsense are you talking about? All three of them are my treasures. I treat them equally and I don't try to please anyone. I'm not stingy when I praise them."

Liu Lu: "Really? When did you praise Chang Wei and Xiao Hua? Why didn't I hear it?"

Lu Lingxi said with a guilty conscience: "I...I praised them for being well behaved."

Liu Lu: "Good boy? It feels so perfunctory."

Lu Lingxi suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Lu: "What? Are you jealous?"

After asking, he put his arm around Liu Lu's shoulders and said with a grin, "Don't worry, even though I like Yun Zong very much now, I won't ignore you."

Liu Lu quickly shook off Lu Lingxi's hand and said unconvincedly, "Miss, you are talking nonsense. How could a living person like me compete for favor with them? Even if I compete for favor, I am competing for the favor of men and being jealous of men."

Lu Lingxi laughed and said, "Hey! Liu Lu, don't be angry. You are angry because you turned love into hatred and you are angry out of shame."

Liu Lu fought back, "Miss, your knowledge is getting better and better. You can even use two idioms in one sentence. So you don't need Chun Hong and me to help you with your unfinished homework anymore, right?"

When Lu Lingxi heard this, he put his right index finger in front of his lips and said in a low voice: "Shh! Keep your voice down. What if the servants outside hear us and complain to Dad? Okay, okay, I was wrong, isn't that enough? It was you who teased me first just now."

As soon as Lu Lingxi apologized, Liu Lu's attitude softened. After all, the young lady was of higher status and was willing to speak to her in such a peaceful manner. It would be too much to blame her again.

Liu Lu also moved closer to Lu Lingxi and whispered, "Okay, Miss, I won't say anything. I will keep this secret to my death. I won't let the master know."

Lu Lingxi thought: "It's not that serious."

Liu Lu: "Then again, why are you trying to please Yun Zong so much? Can it understand you?"

Lu Lingxi said earnestly, "You don't understand this. Yunzong is different from Changwei and Xiaohua. They are just for fun and entertainment. It's enough for them to grow up safely and healthily. We don't expect them to do anything. But Yunzong is different. I will ride on its back later and let it drag me. What if our relationship is not good and it doesn't like me, and I fall off its back? It hurts just thinking about it being so high. What if it really hates me and kicks me before I get on it? So I must provide it with good food and drink, and say nice things to improve our relationship?"

Liu Lu asked doubtfully, "Is this what Master Yugang wrote in the book he gave you?" She really couldn't imagine how Lu Yugang would keep saying nice things to a horse?

Lu Lingxi hesitated when she heard this. Can I say that I figured it out myself? Since this was not credible, she nodded to Liu Lu seriously, "Yeah!"

Although Liu Lu still didn't quite believe it, she didn't think much about it because it was Young Master Yu Gang who said it, and there might be some profound truths that she didn't understand. In order to prevent her young lady from being thrown off the horse by Yun Zong, she also praised Yun Zong with a flattering face.

Yunzong seemed to enjoy it as well and raised his head high.

Lu Lingxi successfully fooled Liu Lu and wanted to continue fooling Chun Hong, but when he turned around and saw Chun Hong's expression that said, "I've seen through everything," he gave up the idea. He continued to praise Yun Zong with Liu Lu.

Chunhong was in a good mood as she watched Lu Lingxi and Liu Lu being so happy. She couldn't help but sigh that it was such a blessing to be with such a carefree master!
