The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Chapter 135 Be Taught

On the way back to Changqiu Palace, Nan Wangyu pulled Lu Lingxi and walked a little hurriedly. After all, his legs were much longer than Lu Lingxi's, and Lu Lingxi couldn't keep up for a while. She had felt nothing before, but now her left hand was being pulled forward, and she felt a dull pain in her left ribs.

Lu Lingxi endured it for a while, and felt the more she pulled, the more painful it became. Finally, when she passed by the garden, she couldn't help but shake off Nan Wangyu's hand. She complained, "Oh, it hurts, slow down, why are you walking so fast? Are you going to blame me when I get back?"

Nan Wangyu heard Lu Lingxi say it hurt, but didn't pay attention to the second half of her sentence. He quickly turned around and asked nervously, "Hurt? Where does it hurt?"

As he spoke, he was about to check to see where Lu Lingxi was injured, muttering, "With so many people attacking you, how could you not be hurt at all? Let me take a look."

Seeing Nan Wangyu trying to pull off his clothes, Lu Lingxi quickly backed away: "What are you doing? You're still outside? In broad daylight, and you..."

She looked back at the people following her. Sun Fulu had gone to tell Concubine Shang about how to deal with the people in Yilan Palace. Chunhong, Liulu, and Jiang Wen all turned their heads away, not looking at them, with an attitude of "eyes watching noses, noses watching hearts", indicating that they could not see the flirting between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

Seeing them like this, Lu Lingxi blushed and couldn't say the following words, "You just pulled my clothes off."

Nan Wangyu saw Lu Lingxi's shy look and explained with a smile in a very happy mood: "That's why I hurried back to the bedroom to help you check if you have any hidden injuries. You haven't told me where it hurts."

Lu Lingxi touched his left chest with his right hand, near his arm, and said, "It hurts here."

Nan Wangyu took a look, but couldn't tell what was wrong through her clothes. He wanted to touch her but was afraid that the injury would only get worse. Thinking of what Lu Lingxi said about holding hands, pulling would hurt, he stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked with her forward, saying, "We can't tell anything like this, let's go back to the bedroom first."

Lu Lingxi was concerned about the other people behind him, so he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I can't let you see it even if we return to the bedroom. It's inconvenient."

Nan Wangyu did not answer this, but just said to himself: "It is obvious that you are inexperienced. You cannot hit someone in the face. Concubine Su looked stupid and understood this principle. She only hit him in places that were not visible."

Lu Lingxi was puzzled: "Is there such a rule? Nanny didn't teach me."

Nan Wangyu couldn't help knocking on Lu Lingxi's little head: "Little fool, which proper nanny taught you this? Only the nannies who have a good relationship and serve closely will tell their own masters, and will not tell outsiders. Let's talk about today. If I hadn't favored you, and an outsider had handled this matter, as soon as he entered the door and saw the miserable face of Concubine Su, huddled humbly with her own people, while you were alive and leisurely sitting there drinking tea, who wouldn't think that she was wronged. You are higher in status than her, so you preconceived that you must be bullying others by taking advantage of your power. If you argue that you were also beaten and your body hurts, but the painful places are covered by clothes, others will not believe it and think you are quibbling. You can't undress in public and show the bruises on your body to everyone to prove your innocence, right? Even if you prove that you were beaten, what's the use?"

Lu Lingxi pinched his chin with his hand, making the same motion as Master Yan stroking his beard when he was deep in thought before, and nodded: "That makes sense! I got it! Thank you for your advice!"

Nan Wangyu was very pleased to receive Lu Lingxi's affirmation three times in a row. He wanted to continue to say something, but Lu Lingxi raised his head to correct him, "It's not that you are biased towards me. Today, she came to provoke me for no reason. It was early in the morning, and I hadn't even gotten up yet. She broke into the inner room directly while I was still wearing my underwear. How rude."

Nan Wangyu echoed, "Yes! How rude! You were only wearing your underwear and messing around with them for so long, did you catch a cold?"

Lu Lingxi: "I don't think so. It didn't take long for Sun Fulu to control them. He asked me to get dressed and have breakfast before going to the meeting room."

Nan Wangyu thought that Sun Fulu had some sensibility and knew to take care of the mistress first, but he still insisted, "It should be! It's still a little sleety from time to time, it's really not warm. I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look later."

Lu Lingxi was puzzled. Don’t I know whether I have caught a cold or not?

Seeing that Lu Lingxi was really confused, after arriving at Changqiu Palace, the two of them closed the door, and Nan Wangyu explained to her in a low voice: "Lingxi, the injuries on Concubine Su's face are visible to the naked eye, and she was also confined for three months. If you didn't cause any substantial injuries, some people would still think that her punishment was too severe and sympathize with her."

Lu Lingxi once again had an expression of enlightenment. After a long "Oh~~~", he said, "I learned another trick."

Nan Wangyu: "You still have a lot to learn. Do you know why I didn't punish Concubine Su for anything else but confined her to her house for three months?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head: "I don't know."

Nan Wangyu: "I don't know. You still have a lot to learn. I confined her for three months. When she came out, her face was almost healed. She couldn't go around complaining in that miserable state. When her face heals, people will have less sympathy for her."

Lu Lingxi suddenly realized and said, "Oh~~~ Master, I understand. Don't hit people in the face. If you really hurt someone's face by accident, lock her up. Wait until she recovers and nothing happens, then release her."

Nan Wangyu saw her nonchalant attitude and said with a helpless smile: "What master or not? Since you still have a lot to learn, you will come with me to the study after lunch today. I will work while you study beside me. I will teach you personally."

Lu Lingxi: "Ah? I'm already married, and I still have to go to class? I've only had a few days of peace and quiet. There's no need to be so anxious, right? And didn't Concubine Shang say that she would hand over the account books of the mansion to me? Don't I need to go to her first to learn how to read the account books?"

Nan Wangyu looked at Lu Lingxi's reluctance, pinched her cheek and said, "It's not too late to look at the account book. While I'm at home these few days and can accompany you, you can go to the study with me first. When I start to go to court every day, it won't be too late for you to go to Concubine Shang to learn how to look at the account book."

It didn't hurt much when her cheek was pinched, but it affected her speech. She broke his hand and said, "Oh, don't pinch me. I get it. It's true that you can never stop learning until you die. You can't stop learning for even a moment."

Just as the conversation in the room was almost over, Chunhong outside reported: "Doctor Xu is here."

Nan Wangyu: "Let him in."

In the past, in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, Chunhong and Liulu usually stayed with Lu Lingxi and talked in the house to relieve boredom.

Now in the Crown Prince's Mansion, whenever His Royal Highness is in Changqiu Palace, Chunhong and Liulv usually wait outside the door, waiting for the two masters to have a good talk. They adapted to such a big change quite quickly.

After seeing Lu Lingxi, Doctor Wang confirmed that he had not caught a cold and had no internal injuries, but he still prescribed some tranquilizers. Lu Lingxi looked at his injuries in the inner room and found only a small bruise on his left ribs, which was neither red nor swollen, and there was no pain if he didn't touch it. It would hurt a little if he pulled it lightly, but it was not a big problem and should heal in a few days.
