The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

A few days after Naji and Nazheng's wedding, the wedding date was asked as a formality. Because the wedding date was set long ago, asking for the date was a symbolic notification from the Prince's Mansion. The auspicious time was at noon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

In fact, for Lu Lingxi, the previous things like Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, and Qingqi were all just formalities, and she didn't feel much involved. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the last ceremony of the wedding, welcoming the bride, could also be just a formality like the previous ones, and not be too tiring.

Ever since the first snow of the year fell on the Winter Day, it has snowed frequently in Kyoto.

Lu Lingxi's mentality also changed from the initial excitement and joy to calmness and even a little disgust. Because it was really cold on a snowy day, and the snow lasted for a long time in this winter. She was so cold that she didn't want to go out anymore, and even hid in the quilt and didn't want to go out.

But starting from Laba Festival, Lu Lingxi stood at the gate of the mansion every day looking out, and even though his little face turned red from the cold, he refused to go back to his own yard.

Because I received a letter from Lu Yugang a few days ago, saying that he would arrive in Kyoto around Laba Festival. But he didn't arrive on Laba Festival, Laba Festival, or even Laba Festival.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Lingxi's expectations were almost exhausted. She didn't want to wait at the gate of the mansion, but thinking about being able to meet her future sister-in-law for the first time, she couldn't help but go.

While looking around, Lu Lingxi swore in his heart: When I see my brother later, I must expose his shortcomings in front of my sister-in-law and make him plan his time well, causing me to be exposed to the cold wind for so many days in vain.

Lu Lingxi waited until the sky was dim, but still did not see Lu Yugang. He thought that the city gate would be locked soon, and they would not be able to enter the city even if they arrived. He was afraid that he would not be able to return today. They were planning to return to Lingxi Garden, but they saw a man leading a carriage in the distance. He looked like Lu Yugang, but it was a little darker than before he went out.

When the man came closer, Lu Lingxi confirmed that it was Lu Yugang, then he ran over happily and said with a smile: "Brother, you made me wait so long. It's been four days since Laba Festival."

As soon as Lu Lingxi finished speaking, the person in the carriage opened the curtain and called her in surprise: "Lingxi, long time no see."

Lu Lingxi looked at the people in the carriage and shouted in disbelief, "Sister Gu!"

Then he turned to look at Lu Yugang and said in disbelief, "Brother, you!" Then he looked at Gu Yan'er, "You guys?"

Finally, Lu Lingxi suddenly realized, "I was wondering? How could it be such a coincidence that you two were in love at the same time? And you wrote to me right after each other. What's going on between you two? Tell me the truth!"

After saying that, she looked at Lu Yugang with a smile, waiting for him to explain. Unexpectedly, he became shy at this time, with a smile on his lips, looking at Gu Yan'er.

Gu Yan'er was about to tell Lu Lingxi about it in detail, but she suddenly sneezed. She quickly turned her face to the side and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief to prevent saliva foam from flying everywhere.

When Lu Yu just heard Gu Yan'er sneeze, he quickly said, "Lingxi, it's windy outside, let's go back to the mansion first, you and Yan'er can sit down and talk slowly."

Lu Lingxi joked, "Brother, I've been waiting for you here for four or five days, but you don't seem to feel sorry for me. But you feel sorry for Sister Gu when she sneezes."

Lu Yugang: "No way? Brother is worried about you. You and Yan'er can stay warmer when you return home. The New Year is coming soon. If you catch a cold, you won't be able to eat delicious food."

While helping Gu Yan'er get off the carriage, Lu Lingxi continued to joke, "Brother, are you calling me Sister Gu Yan'er now? How can you be so intimate?"

Lu Yugang felt even more embarrassed and said hurriedly, "I'll go tie up the carriage." Then he pulled the carriage aside and walked away.

Lu Lingxi continued to tease in a moderately loud voice: "My silly brother, why would you need to tie up the carriage yourself?"

Then he gently poked Gu Yan'er, who was holding hands with him, with his elbow and asked, "Isn't that right? My future sister-in-law!"

Gu Yan'er smiled dotingly and said, "You know your brother is shy, but you still tease him?"

Lu Lingxi turned to tease Gu Yaner: "Oh, sister-in-law, are you starting to feel sorry for your husband now?"

Gu Yan'er was embarrassed by Lu Lingxi's series of words like "sister-in-law" and "husband", and pretended to be angry and said: "Lingxi, if you continue to be so unruly, I will not talk to you."

When Lu Lingxi heard what Gu Yan'er said, he became anxious: "Sister-in-law, you can't not talk to me. I haven't heard the love story between you and your brother yet."

Gu Yan'er was so embarrassed that she shook off Lu Lingxi's hand, half turned around, and said to her with her back to her: "Oh! Are you not done yet?"

Lu Lingxi quickly stepped forward and took Gu Yan'er's shoulder, and advised: "Okay, Sister Gu, let's go back home first, warm up, and then talk slowly."

When Lu Yugang and Gu Yan'er returned to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, it was already around the hour of You and it was almost time for dinner.

After Lu Yi knew that Lu Yugang had returned home, he immediately and happily asked the kitchen to add more dishes and prepare drinks to welcome Lu Yugang.

However, when Lu Yi, Lu Lingxi, Lu Yugang, and Gu Yaner sat down at the table together, the scene became a little awkward for a moment.

Lu Yi looked at Lu Lingxi and blamed him: "You didn't even tell me in advance that there was one more person coming!"

Lu Lingxi shook her head pretending not to know. Lu Yi didn't know whether she didn't understand his eyes or she really didn't know.

Then he tried to wink and said, "Why does this girl look so familiar? Introduce her to me!" Lu Yi thought that this was just Lu Lingxi's friend who came to visit.

Lu Lingxi still shook his head.

Lu Yi couldn't help but frown, thinking: How come this child has no tacit understanding with his father? He can't understand his father's eyes.

Gu Yan'er looked at Lu Yi and Lu Lingxi exchanging glances, and knew that he wanted to ask her about something, but she couldn't speak abruptly, so she said considerately: "Hello, Uncle Lu, my name is Gu Yan'er."

Lu Yi thought: Oh, Gu Yan'er, isn't this the daughter of old man Gu Qingfeng? Didn't she say she was recuperating in that country farm? Why did she come here suddenly?

Then he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, it's Miss Gu. I was wondering why she looked so familiar. Is Miss Gu fully recovered?"

Gu Yan'er replied obediently: "Thank you Uncle Lu for your concern. It's nothing serious now."

Lu Yi: "Oh, that's good, that's good, eat the food, eat the food."

After saying this, Lu Yi started eating first, prompting the younger generations to follow suit.

Just as Lu Yi had almost finished chewing the food and was about to swallow it, Lu Lingxi suddenly said loudly: "Dad, brother wants to marry Sister Gu."

This sound frightened Lu Yi so much that he choked and started coughing uncomfortably while patting his chest.

Lu Lingxi quickly handed over the water and patted Lu Yi on the back: "Daddy, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."

Lu Yi was speechless: This unlucky child, your father didn’t choke because of the food, it was obviously because I was scared by you.

But at this moment, Lu Yi didn't care about this question. The point was: "Yu Gang, is what Lingxi said true?"

Lu Yugang said firmly: "Yes, father. I brought Yan'er back this time because I want you to help me propose marriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I want to formally marry Yan'er as my wife."

When Gu Yan'er heard Lu Yugang say that he wanted to marry her, she lowered her head shyly.

Lu Yi looked at the determined Lu Yugang, and then at the shy Gu Yaner, and knew that the two of them had already developed a secret love, but when did this happen? He couldn't figure it out.
