The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Lingxi might think that this was just a small matter, adding fuel to the fire of his already bad reputation.

But in the mouths of the civil servants in Kyoto, it was as if the sky had fallen. They thought that Lu Lingxi was just a little vulgar and naughty before, but they didn't expect that she was such a vicious person in private. They wrote memorials overnight, stating:

Lu Lingxi is such a jealous person who regards human life as worthless, she is not worthy of the position of Crown Princess. She requests the Emperor of Nanzheng to abolish Lu Lingxi's position as Crown Princess.

Dozens of memorials were about this matter, which gave Nan Wangyu a headache.

He now said that he was acting as the government official, but in fact, he was just helping his father filter the memorials. There were hundreds of memorials every day, and not all of them were important. Some were just greetings, some were just congratulations, and many were just repeating the same thing. If every memorial had to be read and approved by the father himself, he would not be able to do it with his current physical condition. So he was allowed to read it first, and the unimportant ones were read and approved, and the important ones were submitted to the father later.

Nan Wangyu suppressed all the dozen memorials requesting the abolition of Lu Lingxi's position as Crown Princess.

He had already found out that the incident yesterday was caused by his teacher's daughter Su Yun. Although he and Su Yun grew up together, he always treated her as a sister and never thought of her as his own. For the sake of her teacher, he had agreed to let her enter the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, but she even went a step further and asked to enter the mansion on the same day as Lingxi.

Nan Wangyu could see that the teacher also felt that this was inappropriate, but he could not resist Su Yun's soft and hard persuasion and still made such a request to him. He understood that the teacher had several sons before, and this was the youngest daughter, so it was inevitable that he would favor her. Although he knew that this was against etiquette and law, and even openly challenged Lingxi, he still begged for Su Yun in front of him.

Although the teacher was strict with him, he was also respectful of his duties and responsibilities, and he would tell him everything he knew. In daily life, they were both teachers and friends, so Nan Wangyu always respected the teacher. In daily life, the teacher never asked him for anything, so even though he had no romantic feelings for Su Yun, he still agreed to the teacher's request.

When the Crown Prince's tutor Su Zhengyan learned that his young daughter was responsible for yesterday's incident, he became furious and severely reprimanded Su Yun.

At the same time, she wrote a private letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, stating that she had not taught her daughter well and asked His Royal Highness to forgive her. She also said that she would confine Su Yun to her home before she got married and discipline her well. It was just a little quarrel between little girls and no serious consequences had occurred. She hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would show leniency and let the matter go.

Although Su Yanzheng reprimanded Su Yun in the letter, his intention to protect her was obvious. Nan Wangyu sighed. The teacher was always strict with his son and his students, and was meticulous in teaching them about etiquette and self-cultivation, but he was overly doting on Su Yun.

Although Nan Wangyu suppressed all the petitions requesting the abolition of Lu Lingxi, he still reported the whole story to Emperor Nan Zheng. Emperor Nan Zheng looked at his son who was always confident with what he had planned with great pleasure, but he was in a dilemma and said, "This is your family affair, you handle it yourself."

On the second day, knowing that the ministers would raise this issue, he claimed to be ill and did not attend court, leaving the crown prince to preside over court affairs.

No matter what the civil officials said, Nan Wangyu remained unmoved, saying that Lu Lingxi was kind-hearted, and that her robbing, bullying, and killing were all groundless. They didn't see it with their own eyes, didn't the maid escape in the end?

The civil servants had no substantial evidence and were speechless for a while, and the matter was finally over.

Since that day, Lu Lingxi has not gone out. She has never understood why she always gets into trouble every time she goes out. Can't she just be more peaceful? She is almost traumatized by going out for fun.

Time quickly came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the wedding day of Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, around three in the morning, Lu Lingxi was pulled out of bed by Chunhong and Liulu. She squinted her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, and said drowsily, "It's not dawn yet, let me sleep a little longer."

Liu Lu: "Miss, today is your wedding day, you can't stay in bed, get up quickly and wash and dress up."

Lu Lingxi sat up helplessly and put on his red inner garment in a daze, leaving Chunhong and Liulv to do whatever they wanted with the rest.

After having some breakfast, washing up and putting on the wedding dress, an old lady with a plump face and a kind face came.

Chunhong introduced: "Miss, this is the mother of General Xu of Huaihua. She is an old lady who has many children and is very good at educating her children. The master specially invited her to comb your hair."

Originally, it was the mother of the bride who should comb her hair, but since Lu Lingxi's mother died early, his father decided to ask a blessed old woman to do it.

Lu Lingxi knew that this was an elder who was a generation older than his father, so he quickly stood up and saluted.

After Lu Lingxi finished the ceremony, she smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Crown Princess. It is my great honor to be able to tie your hair."

After that, without wasting any time, he asked Lu Lingxi to sit facing the bronze mirror. Lu Lingxi watched as Old Lady Xu picked up the comb and slowly and steadily combed her hair. Every time she combed from the roots to the ends of her hair, Old Lady Xu would recite a blessing:

"Comb the combs once to the end, and the couple will love each other without worries. Comb the combs twice to the end, and they will walk hand in hand until their hair is white. Comb the combs three times to the end, and the couple will be healthy and worry-free. Comb the combs four times to the end, and their children and grandchildren will be blessed with wealth and longevity. Comb the combs five times to the end, and they will be together forever. Comb the combs six times to the end, and everything will go smoothly and good luck will be with you. Comb the combs seven times to the end, and the gods will come down to earth to welcome you. Comb the combs eight times to the end, and the Eight Immortals will come to celebrate. Comb the combs nine times to the end, and they will live a happy life. Comb the combs ten times to the end, and they will live together until old age."

After combing Lu Lingxi's hair ten times, Old Lady Xu put down the comb, and a special maid helped him to braid his hair. Finally, Old Lady Xu put the phoenix crown on Lu Lingxi, and the hair-combing ceremony was completed.

Old Madam Xu also went downstairs to rest and headed to the Prince's Mansion to wait for the lunch banquet.

It took Lu Lingxi more than an hour from the time she got up at 3 a.m. to the time she got dressed. Now it was time for her to go to the main hall to bid farewell to Lu Yi, and then walk around the streets. She had to arrive at the main hall of the Prince's Mansion before noon and get married on time. The schedule was indeed a bit rushed.

When Lu Lingxi arrived at the main hall, Lu Yi was already sitting there waiting. Lu Yugang was standing behind Lu Yi. As the two were talking, Lu Yi would raise his sleeve to wipe his eyes from time to time.

After Lu Lingxi came in, she was going to kneel down to say goodbye to Lu Yi, but she only bent her knees slightly, and Lu Yi couldn't bear to let her go. He immediately stepped forward, held Lu Lingxi's shoulders with both hands, pulled her to stand up straight, and looked around for a long time before saying, "Lingxi is so beautiful today!"

But just this sentence made Lu Yi burst into tears and sob. Later, when he taught her to be considerate to her husband and filial to her parents-in-law, she couldn't speak a complete sentence.

When Lu Lingxi saw Lu Yi like this, tears welled up in her eyes and she comforted him, "Daddy, don't be sad. I will come back to see you often." After saying that, tears fell like beads from the broken string.

The two of them burst into tears.

When Lu Yugang, who was standing behind Lu Yi, saw this scene, his eyes turned red and he tried hard not to cry.

Seeing that the time to go out was approaching, a servant came to report that the people from the Prince's Mansion who came to welcome the bride had arrived at the door. Lu Yu just calmed down and asked someone to help Lu Lingxi touch up her makeup. Then, Lu Yi brought a veil and personally helped Lu Lingxi cover the veil.

Lu Yugang carried Lu Lingxi on his back and went out of the door surrounded by servants. Lu Yi sat alone and dejected in the main hall.
