The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

More than a month has passed since the 15th day of October when we asked for our names, and nothing special has happened.

Lu Lingxi has always lived a routine life. She would attend whatever classes Lu Yi arranged for her to take. If she liked a class, she would listen with great interest. If she didn't like a class, she would just doze off. No one dared to say anything to her.

Even though he had a rare day off, Lu Lingxi didn't leave the house. Perhaps he was still a little frightened.

Now Chang Wei and Xiao Hua have reached Lu Lingxi's hips when they are standing, and her waist when they are sitting. They are also very smart and can communicate without any obstacles in many cases.

For example: tell them to sit down; lie down; throw a branch for them to pick up; ask them to go back and get the book if they forget to bring it to class; sometimes Lu Lingxi secretly reads a romance novel by herself and is so moved that she cries, and they know to give her a handkerchief and pat her on the back to comfort her. In short, they can understand everything and are no different from humans except that they can't speak.

So Lu Lingxi would not feel bored even if he did not leave the house.

During the month that Lu Lingxi stayed at home, a major event also happened outside:

After the King of Qi abandoned the talented Gu Yan'er, he did not choose any other concubine in the Gu family to be his principal wife, but hurriedly promoted the previously pregnant Gu Ying'er to be his principal wife.

This Gu Ying'er is a three-step jump. She was just an ordinary concubine before, but she skipped the noble concubine and concubine and became the wife of the King of Qi. It has to be said that she has some means. It is understandable that the children raised by a person like Prime Minister Gu are not bad.

It is said that on the day Gu Ying'er was crowned as a princess, her belly was bulging as if she was about to give birth, but she did not feel tired at all. She was busy running around with her big belly, and seemed to be very happy.

When Lu Lingxi listened to Liu Lu's gossip about Prince Qi's Mansion, he listened with great interest. Then he thought of Gu Yan'er and wondered how Sister Gu would feel if she knew that her half-sister was now the legal wife of her ex-boyfriend.

Thinking of Gu Yan'er, there had been no news for more than two months since she wrote to report her safety. Lu Lingxi wanted to go and find out what she was doing, but suddenly he received a letter from her. The letter said:

"My dear sister Lingxi: I am very happy now. I have found my sweetheart and we have communicated with each other. Everything is fine. Don't worry."

Lu Lingxi was very happy for Gu Yan'er, and also sighed that she was so brave and quick. She was so carefree and happy, not at all like an ancient lady trained under feudal ethics. To be honest, I am more like an ancient person because I compromise with fate and imperial power. What is time travel? Is my brain confused? That memory is getting farther and farther away.

During this period, Lu Yugang, who used to write letters to Lu Lingxi frequently, had not received any letters for more than a month. However, he and Gu Yan'er sent a letter at the same time.

The letter even said that he had found a sister-in-law for Lu Lingxi, and would bring her back before the New Year to show her to his adoptive father and discuss the marriage.

Lu Lingxi laughed after reading Lu Yugang's letter. What a coincidence! They are already in love. Why is there an unusual smell in the air? It turns out to be the sour smell of love.

On the twenty-first day of the winter month, the Prince's Mansion became lively from the morning hour. People beating gongs and drums walked in front, and behind them came people in red clothes, carrying cages covered with red cloth.

At first people were counting, wanting to see how much betrothal gifts were needed to marry the Crown Princess. Later they found that there were always people carrying the boxes and it was too late to count them, so they just watched the fun and stopped counting.

Later, people said that the betrothal gifts prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already arrived at the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, but the last person carrying the cage and box had not yet left the Crown Prince's Mansion. This was too extravagant! Later, thinking carefully, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was marrying the mistress of the East Palace, who would be the queen of the country in the future, so it was normal to have such a procession.

While the people were watching the fun, they couldn't help but gossip.

Passerby A: "I heard that the Crown Prince has a childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the Crown Prince's tutor, named Su Yun, who is said to be entering the Crown Prince's Mansion on the same day as Miss Lu from the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion. Is that true?"

Passerby B: "It's true. My cousin's son, my nephew, works in the Crown Prince's Mansion. He has been very busy recently, after all, he has to prepare the betrothal gifts for both families. Moreover, one of them is the principal wife, and the other is a concubine. The betrothal gift regulations are different, and we can't be too partial to one over the other. It's very troublesome."

Passerby C was surprised and said, "The principal and concubine entered the palace on the same day? Isn't this a slap in the face of the principal concubine? Can Miss Lu tolerate this?"

The three of them shook their heads in agreement, thinking that according to Miss Lu's previous temper, she would definitely not tolerate this. What they didn't know was that Lu Lingxi didn't know about the previous events. People in the mansion didn't mention her marriage very much, and she herself only wanted to cancel the engagement and didn't care much, so she didn't know that the prince had a childhood sweetheart, and that she was going to enter the prince's mansion on the same day as herself.

Passerby A continued to gossip, "Since the wedding is on the same day, then the marriage should also be on the same day. Didn't we see the betrothal team heading to the Su Mansion today?"

Passerby B: "We are looking at the main gate. Normally, the betrothal gifts for the Crown Prince and his concubines are carried out through the side gate, and it is very busy over there too."

Passerby C: "So what do you think? Will His Royal Highness go to his childhood sweetheart Miss Su's house today, or will he go to the house of Miss Lu, who has a higher status?"

Passerby A: "I guess it's Miss Lu's mansion. After all, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and a higher rank can crush a person."

Passerby B: "I guess it's Miss Su's mansion. The prince even let her enter the mansion on the same day as the principal wife, which shows how much he loves her. It's not certain who will be the queen in the future."

Passerby C: "I also think that the Crown Prince will go to Miss Su's house. After all, there is an emotional foundation."

Today, the prince they were talking about went to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion in the early morning ahead of the betrothal team. As for the prince's tutor, it was Butler Sun who was sent. After all, he hadn't seen Lingxi for a long time, so it wasn't considered a neglect for Yun'er to have Butler Sun go there.

When Nan Wangyu arrived at the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion, Lu Lingxi had not yet finished packing.

When she managed to pack up and came to the main hall, she saw that the person who came was Xiao Yuer, and she couldn't help but complain:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really good at saving trouble. Why do you always do it for him when he has something to do?"

Then he approached Xiao Yu'er and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You're going to take his place in the wedding ceremony and the bridal chamber, right?"

When Xiao Yu'er heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought: You are right that it will be me who will marry you and spend the bridal chamber with you, but I am not doing it for others, so I hope you won't be too angry when the time comes.

Lu Lingxi had nothing else to do in the main hall, so he just sat there and listened to Uncle Wei at the door reading out the list of betrothal gifts. Every time a box was carried into the door, Uncle Wei would read out the list, which included gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The name was quite elegant, but it was too hard to remember. There were also precious fabrics and delicacies at the end.

Lu Lingxi is a little interested in food, but not much, because the names are irrelevant to the subject, such as "Golden House Full of Jade", "Green Willows Weeping Red", "Beautiful Woman Wearing Flowers", "Jade Tree Hanging Gold Coins", "Five Blessings Coming to the Door"... It's totally hard to tell what the connection is? She thinks the names of dishes should be simple and clear, such as "Tomato and Egg", "Leek and Kidney Flower", "Lotus Root and Spare Ribs"... Just by listening to them, you can know what kind of dishes they are and whether you like them or not.

During the betrothal period, Xiao Yuer had been observing Lu Lingxi, wanting to see what she was interested in, so that if she was upset in the future, he could find something she liked to appease her. But in the end, he found that she seemed to be not interested in anything, which was not a good thing to do.
