The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

On the 15th day of October, the red and green willows quietly helped Lu Lingxi get up and wash early in the morning.

Of course, Lu Lingxi still didn't meet the legendary Crown Prince today, and she refused for the same reason. She silently complained in her heart that she must take a good, close look at this man when they meet. What kind of god-like beauty is this that he is so mysterious and hidden?

When exchanging business cards, Lu Lingxi secretly took a look: Nan Wangyu, the second year of Jiayu, December 29, Zi hour, dragon. This zodiac sign is quite domineering, but isn't Zi hour from 23:00 to 1:00 in the morning? In addition, this is a leap year, there is no December 30th. If it is after midnight, shouldn't it be considered a dragon, but a snake?

Lu Yi talked about how serious "asking for the name" was, but Lu Lingxi didn't feel much. She just needed to stand beside Lu Yi throughout the whole process without saying a word. It felt like it was over very quickly and she didn't need to prepare anything.

But after the match was over, the matchmaker said to Lu Yi before leaving: "Okay, my Lord, you don't have to send it. I have to send the young lady's engagement letter to the East Palace as soon as possible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to review. After the formalities are done, the marriage will be settled. The young lady can start preparing her wedding dress now."

Lu Yi: "Okay, okay! Take care."

After sending the matchmaker away, Lu Yi turned to Lu Lingxi and said, "Yes, if Liu Hongniang hadn't said it just now, I would have forgotten. Lingxi, you should start embroidering the wedding dress. Go buy fabric tomorrow, buy the best!"

Lu Lingxi asked in surprise: "Dad, do you mean that I should make my own wedding dress?"

Lu Yi said as a matter of course: "Yes, girls make their own wedding dresses when they get married."

Lu Lingxi said coquettishly, "Daddy, I really can't embroider a wedding dress. Don't we sell ready-made clothes? Can't we just buy ready-made clothes? If we can't buy ready-made clothes, we can ask an embroiderer to do it. I can't do it anyway."

Lu Yi: "What kind of talk is that? Throughout history, women have always embroidered their own wedding dresses. Only when they embroider every stitch by themselves will they cherish it, and then cherish their hard-earned marriage. It will be more meaningful if you embroider the lotus representing harmony, the dragon and phoenix representing joy, and the mandarin ducks representing love and beauty. What's more, you are the future mistress of the East Palace, so you must set a good example."

Lu Lingxi listened to Lu Yi's nagging, quietly took a few steps back, and then said stubbornly:

"Daddy, I just can't do needlework. If you don't ask an embroiderer to do it for me, I will just wear this dress when I get married. Anyway, I won't be the only one to be embarrassed, lelele lele..."

After saying that, she sticks out her tongue at Lu Yi mischievously and runs away.

Lu Yi was very angry: "Hey! Come back! Why are you being unreasonable again?"

Seeing Lu Lingxi running away, Lu Yi could only complain to Uncle Wei beside him: "Old Wei, look at this child, how can he embarrass his father like this?"

Uncle Wei comforted him, "Master, don't worry, we can just find an embroiderer to do it. Many young ladies in wealthy families also hire embroiderers to do it when they get married. It's no big deal. Besides, our young lady is really not good at needlework. If she pricks her ten fingers like a wasp's nest, won't you feel sorry for her?"

Lu Yi thought what Uncle Wei said made sense, but he still said stubbornly: "Hey! Uncle Wei, if you keep pampering her like this, she will become a problem sooner or later."

Uncle Wei chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with the young lady. She has always been well-behaved and sensible, and she cares for others."

Lu Yi softened his attitude and said with a smile, "Okay! But remember to find the best embroiderer and use the best material. Don't worry about other things during this period. Put this matter first and make sure it is done well."

Uncle Wei: "Master, don't worry, I will do everything for you. When the young lady gets married, she will be the most beautiful bride in the world."

Lu Yi: "I'm naturally relieved when you do the work. And you can start preparing the dowry, I'll feel relieved if you do it."

Uncle Wei agreed, "Okay, okay, Master, don't worry."

Although Liu Hongniang vowed that returning the engagement letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just a formality, a small problem occurred when the Crown Prince's Mansion sent the engagement letters to the Imperial Observatory for verification.

When Wang Jianzheng of the Imperial Observatory saw the two people's zodiac signs, he said bluntly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lu's zodiac signs are not compatible?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is born in the Year of the Dragon, so he should be most compatible with a woman born in the Year of the Rooster."

The person who came to deliver the name card to the Prince's Mansion was Sun Fulu, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion. Before leaving the mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince specially called him over and told him to make sure this matter was done properly. Sun Fulu was a man who had grown up in the crowd, so how could he not understand His Royal Highness the Prince's intention? Today's zodiac signs are the best match, even if they don't match.

So, Manager Sun cleared his throat and said, "Well, what's wrong with Miss Lu's zodiac sign?"

Wang Jianzheng hadn't realized what Manager Sun meant yet, and continued to speak bluntly, "This Miss Lu is born in the Year of the Pig, and most of them are careless, muddle-headed, and have no ambition to make progress. Your Highness the Crown Prince is born in the Year of the Dragon, and most of them are pioneering, enterprising, and brave. The compatibility rate of these two zodiac signs is only 50% at most, not..."

Before Wang Jianzheng could even say the word "good match", Chief Steward Sun interrupted him:

"We advise Wang Jianzheng to be careful with his words. Currently, the Crown Prince's Mansion is busy arranging a marriage with the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. His Royal Highness is also very happy. He will personally inquire about all arrangements for Miss Lu. His Royal Highness has also read the engagement letter and is very satisfied. Are you trying to say that His Royal Highness has made a mistake?"

Wang Jianzheng wiped the nonexistent cold sweat, thankful that he didn't say the last two words. Then he added:

"What I meant is that it is not that they cannot be compatible. Their zodiac signs and personalities complement each other. As long as they support each other and learn from each other in life, and make up for the shortcomings in their personalities, they will be able to stay together for a long time. I will tell them another fortune and see when the time is auspicious."

After saying this, Wang Jianzheng held a thick book called "The Secret Book of Choosing Dates and Times" in his left hand, and turned the pages with his right hand, counting with his fingers, busying himself for a while. He said to Manager Sun:

"I just calculated with my fingers. It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and noon is a very auspicious time! As soon as the auspicious time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess will get married. They will surely live happily together, have many children and grandchildren, and dragon...dragon..." Wang Jianzheng wanted to say "dragon and phoenix bring good luck", but then he remembered that Miss Lu was not born in the year of the rooster; dragons soar and tigers leap, and Miss Lu was not born in the year of the tiger. After racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't think of any idioms related to dragons and pigs, and he was choked for a moment.

Chief Steward Sun saw Wang Jianzheng's embarrassment, and flicked his whisk, saying, "The auspicious time has been set, and it is extremely auspicious. Then go and report it to His Majesty. I will also go back and report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

Wang Jianzheng immediately and respectfully escorted Manager Sun to the door, nodding and saying, "Manager Sun, take care!"

At this point, the wedding date and auspicious time for Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu were finally decided.

Steward Sun returned home and reported everything about the Imperial Observatory to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Nan Wangyu muttered to himself after hearing this: "It's true that birth date and eight characters can really reflect a person's personality. At least regarding Lingxi's personality, Wang Jian's prediction is quite accurate."
