The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Nan Wangyu was dressed in red, riding on a black horse, staring at the gate of Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion. He looked calm and composed, but the protruding knuckles and blue veins on the back of his hands tightly grasping the reins still exposed his nervousness. He was even more nervous than the day he was appointed as the crown prince.

After waiting for so long, he finally waited for this day. From now on, he and Lingxi will be husband and wife. The joy in his heart is hard to suppress. At the same time, he is a little worried. Today, he has to confess his identity to Lingxi. Will she be angry? Will she think that I have been fooling her? What should I do if she refuses to forgive me?

Thinking of this, Nan Wangyu wanted to escape again. Maybe he could wait a little longer and wait until the time was right, and then confess when Lingxi couldn't leave me. But when would be the right time?

Before Nan Wangyu could figure it out, Lu Yugang had already walked out of the main gate of Zhenguo Marquis Mansion carrying Lu Lingxi on his back.

Chunhong and Liulu were also dressed festively today. They walked in front of Lu Yugang, one on the left and one on the right. They scattered the colored paper in the bamboo baskets in their right hands on the road in front of Lu Yugang. There were also several maids behind them scattering colored paper along the road.

A red carpet was laid along the road from the mansion gate to where the sedan chair was parked. As soon as Lu Lingxi and his party arrived at the mansion gate, a group of people ran out from both sides, holding bamboo baskets full of candies in their hands. They stood on both sides of the red carpet and distributed wedding candies wrapped in oil paper to the people who came to watch the ceremony.

Those who received the wedding candies congratulated one after another: "A perfect match! A happy marriage! A match made in heaven! A harmonious marriage! A perfect marriage! ..."

Chunhong and Liulu were also very curious about the true appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They couldn't help but peek while they were busy. When they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's appearance clearly, they were both shocked. Just as they were about to scream, they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a gesture to silence them. They looked at each other, as if they were saying at the same time: Isn't this Xiaoyuer? What's going on? Do you want to tell the lady?

Nan Wangyu had been watching Lu Lingxi and her group since they left the house. Amidst the blessings, Lu Yugang carried Lu Lingxi to the bridal sedan. Chunhong and Liulu each held open the sedan curtain, and Lu Yugang carried Lu Lingxi into the sedan.

The bridesmaid shouted beside the sedan chair: "The bridal sedan chair has arrived at the door, guests are standing on both sides, the flute and the sheng are welcoming the lady, firecrackers are blasting, the phoenix and the phoenix are bringing double happiness, the blue field is planting beautiful jade, the gathering brings auspiciousness, the beautiful woman is paired with the beautiful husband." After the bridesmaid finished the words to welcome the sedan chair, she looked inside the sedan chair and saw that Lu Lingxi had already sat down, and immediately shouted loudly: "Lift the sedan chair!"

At this moment, Nan Wangyu's heart was filled with the joy of marrying Lu Lingxi, and he forgot everything else.

As soon as the bridesmaid said "lift the sedan chair" and firecrackers rang out, he immediately stepped on his horse's belly and took the lead to move forward in the predetermined direction and route.

The welcoming team was in the front, and the sending-off team led by Lu Yugang, carrying the dowry, followed behind. They walked through the streets and alleys with the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Chang Wei and Xiao Hua were wearing the red new clothes that Lu Lingxi had ordered before the New Year. They were led by someone to walk on both sides of the bridal sedan. Because of the fright of firecrackers, they would occasionally roar at the passers-by watching the ceremony on both sides. Such roars made them look like vicious dogs.

Many people watching the ceremony remembered the rumors about Lu Lingxi a few days ago and felt that the rumors were true. Looking at the way this dog relied on the power of his master, they knew how bad his master's temper was.

However, Lu Lingxi, who was sitting in the bridal sedan, had no idea that his bad reputation had been made worse by a few dog barks.

At this time, she was still sighing about the experience of riding in a sedan for the first time. To be honest, it was just an average experience. I thought the carriage was bumpy enough, but the sedan was even worse. Not only did it sway up and down with the movement of the sedan bearer, but sometimes it would sway left and right if the sedan bearer's pace was slightly inconsistent. Lu Lingxi was about to vomit from the ups and downs and left and right. Fortunately, she had breakfast early and had almost digested it by now, otherwise she would have vomited by now.

At this time, the one behind the two sedan bearers on the left rear was very nervous. He stepped on a sharp stone without paying attention and his foot twisted involuntarily. He could feel the sedan chair shaking and the other bearers also lost their rhythm.

He was extremely scared. If he displeased the noble, he would be finished. Maybe even other people would be implicated. Fortunately, the noble did not blame them.

Lu Lingxi didn't think of blaming anyone at all, she just thought that riding in a sedan was just like this. She now held the window frame of the sedan with her hands, trying to keep her body steady, thinking: "Why is it so slow? Haven't we arrived yet? If I get off and walk by myself, maybe I can go faster."

By the time they arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Lu Lingxi had been shaken dizzy. After the sedan bearers put the sedan down flat, they heard the bridesmaid shout, "The bride is here, the groom is kicking the sedan door."

Then there was a loud bang. Although Lu Lingxi was prepared, he was still startled and complained in his heart: Why did this person use such great force? It was like he was coming to collect a debt or to pick a fight.

When Nan Wangyu saw Lu Lingxi shivering with fear, he realized that he was too nervous and failed to control his strength, so he quickly reached out to help Lingxi get out of the sedan.

Chunhong and Liulv, who were standing beside the sedan chair, held the curtain with one hand and stabilized the door with the other. There were many people and noise along the way, so the two of them never had a chance to explain the situation to Lu Lingxi. They just hoped that the young lady would not be too angry when she saw the true face of the Crown Prince.

Lu Lingxi lowered his head and looked at the hand in front of him through the edge of the veil, hesitating whether to hold it. When getting off the sedan chair, shouldn't one person hold one end of the red silk?

But seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not handed her the red silk, she did not want to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lose face in public. He was the master of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and if she lost face in front of him as she had just arrived, her future days would probably be difficult, so she just took the opportunity to put her hand in his palm.

As soon as Lu Lingxi put her hand in Nan Wangyu's palm, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had held this hand before. Strange!

The moment they held hands, the bridesmaid shouted, "Get off the sedan! Step on the steps! Bride and groom, may you have a baby soon!"

Lu Lingxi couldn't see the situation ahead clearly, and could only barely see the ground under his feet. The person holding his hand didn't remind him of the road conditions ahead, but just pulled him forward, as if it was a routine and he was in a hurry to complete the task. Was he also dissatisfied with this marriage?

Fortunately, the bridesmaid's voice was heard along the way: "Step over the saddle! The bride and groom are safe!" Lu Lingxi knew that there was a saddle ahead and he needed to step over it.

"Crossing the fire basin! May the bride and groom have a prosperous life!" She knew that she had to cross the fire basin, so she held up the edge of her skirt herself, and Chunhong and Liulu would help her hold up the end of her skirt.

Along the way, there was another bridesmaid scattering bran (which contained sugar, money, and salt) while shouting, "One scatter: long life and wealth; two scatter: a house full of gold and jade; three scatter: brotherhood in the Peach Garden; four scatter: everything goes well; five scatter: five sons passing the imperial examinations; six scatter: six equal happiness; seven scatter: seven-seven reunion; eight scatter: eight immortals crossing the sea; nine scatter: live together for nine generations; ten scatter: perfect."

After spreading the bran, she gave the tray of bran to the bridesmaid, who gently tapped the tray on Lu Lingxi's head and said, "One tap on the tray means a litter of babies will be born!"

Although it didn't hurt, Lu Lingxi was still a little unhappy, thinking: What do you mean by giving birth to a whole litter of babies? I'm not a sow.

After overcoming all the obstacles along the way, they finally arrived at the main hall.

Before the wedding ceremony, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince placed one end of the red silk in Lu Lingxi's palm.

After that, they bowed to heaven and earth, to their parents, to each other, and then to the bridal chamber. The Crown Prince remained silent, and Lu Lingxi thought he was aloof, but in fact he was just nervous. Moreover, he was afraid that Lingxi would recognize his voice and do something to get married in front of outsiders.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu were sent to Changqiu Palace, the bedroom prepared for the prince's wedding in the prince's mansion.
