The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Xiao Yuer was holding Yunzong's reins for Lu Lingxi, and was also patiently explaining to her some basic knowledge of horse riding.

Lu Lingxi listened patiently at first, but later she felt that it was similar to what her brother wrote in the book. She thought she already knew it all, so she wanted Xiao Yuer to let go of his hand and she would control Yunzong to move forward herself.

Xiao Yuer refused to let go, thinking that Lu Lingxi overestimated himself. He thought that this matter had to be done slowly. Moreover, Yunzong was a newly tamed horse and his emotions were still unstable. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous. He suggested that Lu Lingxi should just slowly adapt to riding on the horse for a while, and give Yunzong some time.

In this way, Xiaoyuer led Yunzong and Lu Lingxi sat on Yunzong's back, walking back and forth, walking in circles, and walking in various ways. Lu Lingxi felt really bored and had to find a topic to talk about.

So Lu Lingxi smiled, her eyes sparkling with gossip, and looked at Xiao Yu'er and said, "Xiao Yu'er, there are a few people in the prince's mansion now... um..." She considered her words and said, "Madam?"

Xiao Yuer felt a little guilty when he heard the question, but he thought that these problems would have to be faced sooner or later, and he told Lingxi earlier so that she could be mentally prepared, so he answered in a serious tone: "Strictly speaking, the only one who can be called the queen is the current prince's concubine Xiao. She is the first marriage arranged by the emperor for the prince. She is the second daughter of the Zhongshu Ling Xiao. She is 23 years old. She has the highest position in the three years since she entered the mansion. Now she is in charge of the internal affairs of the prince's mansion. She has no children. She has a gentle personality..."

Listening to Xiao Yu'er's tone of voice, which sounded like an emotionless intelligent robot reading the search terms, Lu Lingxi suddenly felt that the atmosphere of gossip was gone, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Stop! Okay, I understand this concubine Xiao. I want to ask how many women are there in the prince's harem now? Well, the kind of women who can sleep with him, not counting the maids who serve him."

When Xiao Yuer heard Lu Lingxi say that the woman who slept with him was very upset, he wanted to say that although there were more people in the mansion now, he was still very pure and self-disciplined. He would not mess around with someone he didn't really like, okay? So he didn't want to answer this question.

So Xiao Yuer said angrily: "I am a servant, I cannot talk about my master behind his back."

Lu Lingxi: "What's the big deal? Just say it casually and I will listen. I won't tell anyone about it, so no one will know. And I asked you to talk about the women behind the prince, not to talk about him."

When Xiao Yuer heard Lu Lingxi's gossiping tone, which had nothing to do with her, she was furious and said unhappily, "Aren't you going to marry into the prince's mansion in a few months? You will know then. There is plenty of time for you to slowly understand."

Lu Lingxi: "You are such a person who keeps talking about things that are not relevant to you. I feel overwhelmed when I think about competing with so many women for a man. Oh! Forget it, I can't win anyway, so let them fight. I won't participate, I'll just watch the fun."

Xiao Yu'er didn't like Lu Lingxi's lazy and playful attitude: "How do you know you can't win? What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just likes you?"

Lu Lingxi: "How can the prince like all the women he has? He may not even have time to look at me. What's more, even if the prince likes me, I won't like him. I have the same mental mysophobia as my father. I can only like one person, and the person I like can only like me."

Xiao Yu'er argued, "You don't even know the real Crown Prince yet. What if... what if he is a clean man?"

Lu Lingxi smiled without commenting, "What do you mean by keeping oneself chaste? Do you mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been through a multitude of beauties without getting a single leaf on him? It's not impossible. Either he already has someone he likes and is willing to remain a chaste woman for her; or he is just not good enough in some way." Before saying "not good enough", Lu Lingxi paused intentionally.

When Xiao Yuer heard Lu Lingxi say that the Crown Prince couldn't do it, she got anxious, "Lingxi! How can you, an unmarried girl, talk about sex so casually? Aren't you ashamed? And the Crown Prince can't be unable to do it."

Listening to Xiao Yuer's obviously impatient tone, Lu Lingxi felt like teasing him and said slowly: "I'm getting married soon, and I'm preparing to learn all this. What's there to hide? And how do you know whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do it? Why are you secret guards eavesdropping?" After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Xiao Yuer looked back and saw Lu Lingxi covering her mouth and laughing secretly. She knew she was doing it on purpose and became even angrier. She said unhappily, "I hope you can still laugh when you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Xiao Yu'er was really angry, Lu Lingxi stopped teasing him and continued the previous topic, "Speaking of which, don't talk nonsense, just tell me which women are there in the prince's mansion, so that I can know more about them. If we really get married in the future, I will also know how many gifts to prepare for meeting each other."

Xiao Yu'er: "What do you mean by 'if we really get married in the future'? Are you still thinking of canceling the engagement now?"

Lu Lingxi said in distress: "Of course I want to cancel the engagement, but I can't see your prince anymore. It's hard to discuss a peaceful breakup with him."

When Xiao Yuer heard this, he was glad that he had not told Lu Lingxi that he was the prince. Otherwise, given their current familiarity and the fact that she had saved his life before, if she had directly proposed to cancel the engagement, it would have been difficult for him to refuse. It would have seemed that if he did not agree, he would be ungrateful. In short, he would keep it a secret from her and wait until the marriage was settled. After making up his mind, Xiao Yuer no longer mentioned canceling the engagement, fearing that Lu Lingxi would come up with other ideas.

Xiao Yuer thought that since Lingxi would be entering the palace in the future, it would be good to tell her about the things in the palace so that she could be mentally prepared. So he said like a subordinate reporting to his superior: "Now in the Prince's Palace, in addition to the concubine Xiao just mentioned, there is also the Imperial Concubine Wang, who is 21 years old and whose father is the Minister of the Chancellery;

The crown prince had two concubines: Li, 22 years old, her father was the Minister of the Secretariat; Zhu, 20 years old, her father was the Astronomical Observatory;

The two concubines of the crown prince: Liu, 19 years old, her father was the junior official of the Dali Temple; Wu, 23 years old, her father was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel;

The six concubines of the crown prince are: Wang, 20 years old, father: Menxia Shilang; Duan, 21 years old, father: Zuo Sanqi Changshi; Jiang, 18 years old, father: You Jianyi Dafu; Zhao, 19 years old, father: You Jianyi Dafu; Sun, 19 years old, father: Shangshu Langzhong; Yu, 21 years old, father: Shangshu Yuanwailang;

In addition, there are eight people who are the crown princes, ten who are the imperial trainees, and twelve who are the ministers of the court, including the Qian family..."

When Lu Lingxi heard this series of names and official titles, he kept clicking his tongue. When Xiao Yu'er was about to introduce the next thirty people, he quickly stopped him and said, "Come on, there are so many people that I can't remember who is who. Your Highness the Crown Prince really didn't leave any seats vacant. Every seat is full. Just tell me how many people there are in total?"

Xiao Yuer: "You can't say that. Originally the Crown Prince had two concubines, but now there is only one. Also, the Chenghui ceremonial system had ten women, but the Crown Prince only had eight. The Zhaoxun ceremonial system had sixteen women, but now there are only ten. The Fengyi ceremonial system had even fewer, only half. There are only forty-three people in total." Xiao Yuer lowered his voice feeling guilty at the end.

Lu Lingxi continued to click his tongue: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Listen to yourself, is this reasonable? It can be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meets one person a day, and never the same person twice a month and a half. My words were inappropriate just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still amazing!" Lu Lingxi couldn't help but give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a thumbs up.

After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, he clicked his tongue again: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... I can't remember so many people. Let Chunhong help me remember. She has a good brain."

Xiao Yuer felt very sad. It was all over. His image in Lingxi's heart was beyond saving.
