The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After Lu Lingxi returned to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion, he went back to his own courtyard.

Perhaps it was because she was really frightened by the sudden move of the King of Qi today, or perhaps it was because she always had the habit of taking a nap, Lu Lingxi fell asleep not long after returning to the yard.

When Lu Lingxi woke up, he saw Lu Yi's enlarged face as soon as he opened his eyes and shuddered with fear.

"Daddy! What are you doing? You scared me."

Lu Yi looked at Lu Lingxi lovingly: "What can Daddy do? He just wants to take a good look at you. After you get married in a few months, Daddy will have even less chance to take a good look at you like this." Lu Yi seemed to be about to cry as he spoke.

Today, Lu Yi's mood was like a roller coaster. He went out happily in the morning; Lu Lingxi suddenly disappeared on the way, and he was also worried, afraid that something might happen to his only daughter; then he found out that she was kidnapped by the King of Qi, who wanted to insult Lingxi's innocence, and he was furious. Fortunately, Lingxi was smart enough and nothing bad happened, otherwise he might have skinned the King of Qi; after returning home, looking at Lingxi sleeping peacefully, he felt that this girl was really heartless and could still sleep. Sitting with her for a while, he thought that Lingxi would get married in three months, and it would be difficult to see her in the future. He was the only old man left in this mansion. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and he couldn't help but want to see Lingxi more.

Lu Lingxi looked at the strong man in front of her and was about to shed tears. She was really unable to resist and cried in her heart: "My sentimental father, I am just taking a nap, I am not dead, please don't be like this."

Although he felt a little disgusted with his father at the moment, Lu Lingxi still quickly stood up and hugged Lu Yi, comforting him:

"Don't worry, Daddy. Even after I get married, I will come back to see you often. Isn't the Prince's Mansion not far from ours? I can go home for lunch every day, and accompany you for dinner before returning to the Prince's Mansion. By then, you won't have time to find me annoying."

Lu Yi held Lu Lingxi's shoulders, pushed her away a little, and put some distance between them. He said seriously:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a married daughter go back to her parents' home every day?"

Lu Lingxi pouted and pretended to be angry and said:

"What? It's unlucky for me to get married, right? Does dad dislike me?"

Lu Yi was quite helpless by Lu Lingxi's words. He let go of the hand that was holding her shoulder and touched her head lovingly. After putting down his hand, he said helplessly:

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? How could Dad dislike you? He is afraid that others will see you always going back to your parents' home and say that you are not living well in your husband's family and that the prince does not favor you. Over time, they will take it seriously, and your life will become more and more difficult. Dad is worried about you. I hope you are doing well."

Lu Lingxi took Lu Yi's arm affectionately and said:

"Dad, you have to live your own life. You don't have to care too much about other people's opinions. As long as you feel happy, it doesn't matter what others think. Dad, don't worry, I will be fine."

"By the way, Dad, how are you going to deal with the King of Qi after I'm gone?"

Lu Yi hesitantly said: "Well, I can't tell you how to deal with it specifically, but I absolutely cannot let you suffer in vain."

Lu Lingxi was puzzled: "Why can't you tell me?"

Lu Yi: "Because you are a girl."

"Huh? Why can't you tell me that I'm a girl?"

Lu Yi stood up and pretended to be angry to hide his embarrassment: "Why are there so many whys? You will know later."

"Um... Daddy, let's go check if dinner is ready. You've slept for so long, get up and move around, and come over to have dinner with us later."

Lu Lingxi wanted to stop Lu Yi who was about to go out, and hurriedly got up to put on his shoes while shouting:

"Dad, when did you start asking about dinner? I haven't even finished what I'm saying yet..."

By the time Lu Lingxi put on his shoes, Lu Yi had already walked away.

During dinner, Lu Lingxi was still curious about how to deal with Qi Wang Nan Jingye. Just as he was about to ask, Lu Yi spoke up:

"After dinner, go back and rest. Get up early tomorrow. Someone will come to ask for your name. Get ready and come out to meet the guest."

Lu Lingxi was puzzled: "Ask for your name?"

Lu Yi: "Don't you know 'asking for the name'? Didn't Mammy teach you the wedding process?"

Lu Lingxi: "I know, but it's been so long since the marriage was granted and you still don't know my name? Do you still need to ask? And doesn't it start with the offer of the betrothal gift?"

Lu Yi: "The key is not to ask your name, but to exchange the birth certificate. The birth certificate should include your and the prince's birth dates."

"As for the marriage proposal, His Royal Highness said that you have already exchanged tokens. Although there was no official matchmaker present, the procedures were followed."

Lu Lingxi: "When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"

Lu Yi: "Father doesn't know about this. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only said that you exchanged jade pendants and hairpins."

Lu Lingxi: "Hairpin? I gave it to Xiao Yu'er. How did it end up in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Lu Yi nodded in understanding: "Oh, this... Daddy doesn't know, anyway, we'll ask for your name tomorrow, so you should prepare."

Lu Lingxi: "Oh, okay. Then tomorrow is such an important day, will my legendary fiancé, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, come?"

Lu Yi: "This... Father doesn't know either, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the previous proposal was too hasty, and he will invite the best matchmaker in Kyoto to come tomorrow to 'ask for your name' to show his respect for you."

Lu Lingxi: "He values ​​me? If he can come in person, I believe he values ​​me. Now that I have accepted my fate, I will just marry him. But it has been so long and he has not even come to see me. It is really a bit rude, isn't it?"

Lu Yi heard the dissatisfaction in Lu Lingxi's words and quickly comforted him: "Lingxi, you can't bear resentment towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can you live a good life like this? Besides, there is indeed a custom that couples cannot meet before marriage. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very busy and can't get away."

Lu Lingxi: "What kind of custom is this? This is a bad habit. We can't meet before marriage. How can I know whether the other person is good-looking or not? What if the other person is missing arms or legs? Wouldn't I have to suffer for the rest of my life?"

When Lu Yi heard Lu Lingxi's careless words, he said sternly, "Lingxi, be careful with your words! Your Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the throne in the future, how could he be missing arms and legs? Someone with a physical defect cannot be the crown prince. If you say something like this, your entire clan will be exterminated."

Lu Lingxi also knew that it was disrespectful to say such things in the current environment, so he quickly explained: "I know, I didn't say that His Royal Highness was missing arms and legs, I was just talking about ordinary people. For ordinary families, if they get married blindly and dumbly, if they meet a matchmaker who doesn't tell the truth, won't they suffer for the rest of their lives?"

Lu Yi: "Everyone is like this, what can we do? Daddy can't control others, so I ask you to stop talking nonsense, stop feeling resentful towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and live your own life, okay?"

Lu Lingxi said perfunctorily: "Okay, Dad, I understand."

During dinner, Lu Lingxi, who originally wanted to ask for details on how to deal with the King of Qi, was interrupted by his father talking about "asking for a name" and forgot everything.
