The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Chapter 154 Making trouble in the wedding room

They were both silent for a while. Lu Lingxi suddenly realized that it was very impolite to ask someone on her wedding day whether she would be unhappy if her future husband had three wives and four concubines.

Then he changed the subject and said, "By the way, sister-in-law, the Prince's Mansion will hold a flower viewing banquet on the third day of next month. You must come then."

Gu Yan'er came back to her senses from her deep thoughts and pretended to be angry and said, "You want me to do you a favor but you don't even want to give me an invitation? You really don't take me, your eldest sister-in-law, seriously, don't you?"

Lu Lingxi quickly explained, "That's not the case. I only learned about the flower viewing banquet a few days ago. We have only started preparing for the past two days, and the invitations are still being drawn up. I'm sure yours will be included."

"Oh? Then you have been very busy these days. I asked you to worry about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion today. Be careful not to overwork yourself."

Lu Lingxi said with a relaxed look on his face: "I won't tire myself out. I have already arranged the flower viewing banquet. I have discussed all the details with Concubine Shang, and she will supervise the rest. She has been the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion for six years, so she is familiar with it and it will be convenient for her to handle it. I don't have to worry about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. Uncle Wei has taken care of it. I just need to enjoy the banquet."

Gu Yan'er had also been to the flower-viewing banquet at the Prince's Mansion before, which was also hosted by Concubine Shang. She knew that she was indeed a good housekeeper, but she was a little worried about Lu Lingxi. Now that she is the principal wife, shouldn't the housekeeping and organizing banquets be left to her?

So he asked solemnly, "Hasn't the power of housekeeper been handed over to you? Shouldn't such a grand banquet be managed by you, the mistress of the house? Is Concubine Shang still in charge of the household affairs and refuses to hand them over to you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care either?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head and said, "No, the prince asked me to be the housekeeper, but I get a headache when I see that pile of account books. I'm still learning from Concubine Shang. How can I manage such a large industry by myself? I have to find a helper. I think Concubine Shang is an excellent housekeeper assistant. She is open-minded and generous. She only regards housekeeping as a job and a task given by the prince. She must complete it well, but she is not greedy for power."

Seeing that Lu Lingxi spoke so highly of Concubine Shang, Gu Yan'er was just about to advise her to be on guard against others. They had only known each other for a short time, but she felt that she could see through a person. What if everything was a disguise of Concubine Shang?

Then I heard a group of people shouting outside, someone shouted: "Mr. Lu is so lucky to marry the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. Today we must have a good time in the bridal chamber to ease the loneliness we feel without the most beautiful woman by our side. Hahaha!"

Many people responded: "Yes, yes."

The two people in the bridal chamber heard the sound outside the door and had no time to speak. Lu Lingxi quickly helped Gu Yan'er walk to the bed and sat her down, then stood beside her.

The voices outside were still talking, and someone else said cheerfully, "Brother Lu is the shyest among us. He is usually like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and can't utter a word for days. I thought that girls wouldn't like you, but I didn't expect that you would be the first among us to get married, and you married a beautiful lady, which is really enviable. Hahaha!"

After that, everyone laughed again, and someone said, "Don't worry, Lao Wang, when you have military merit, you can also marry a wife. Now you should think about how to ask for a reward from your sister-in-law."

After that, the door of the bridal chamber opened, and everyone saw that there was only a girl standing next to the bride, and she didn't look like a maid from the way she was dressed.

Lu Yugang knew that they didn't recognize his adopted sister, and was afraid that they would offend the Crown Princess and displease His Royal Highness, so he quickly explained to everyone: "The one next to me is my sister, the apple of Lord Lu's eye, and now she is the Crown Princess."

When everyone heard that this was the Crown Princess, they immediately became reserved, put down their arms around each other's shoulders, and unconsciously closed their legs. The timid ones dared not look directly at Lu Lingxi, but the bold ones could not help but complain in their hearts: The Crown Prince went to talk to Lord Lu, but the Crown Princess stayed in the bridal chamber, how could they let go and make trouble in the bridal chamber?

Lu Lingxi could have left the bridal chamber immediately and let them have a good, lively time, but he was afraid that a bunch of rough guys would make a scene without restraint and hurt his sister-in-law, who was like a banished fairy. So he chose to stay to calm the situation and watch the fun.

After everyone had paid their respects to Lu Lingxi, the bridesmaid and Gu Yaner's maid, who had been invited to eat, finally arrived late and apologized. Then she began to preside over the ceremony, and she sang loudly: "Now please ask the groom to lift the veil!"

Chunrou stepped forward and handed the scale to Lu Yugang.

Chunrou was a loyal woman, so after Gu Yan'er returned home, she transferred her back to her side and brought her along as a dowry to the Marquis' Mansion.

To be on the safe side, Madam Qin arranged for Mother Wu, whom she had worked for for decades and whom she trusted extremely, to accompany Gu Yan'er to marry into the Marquis' Mansion.

Lu Yugang took the scale and approached Gu Yaner, who was nervously holding the wedding scarf in her hand. The bridesmaid sang: "When the veil is lifted, we are happy together; when the veil is removed, we will be rich and prosperous; when we are in pairs, we will have a son soon."

Everyone congratulated: "Good!"

Then the bridesmaid handed over a bowl of dumplings. Lu Yugang took it, picked up one with chopsticks and fed it to Gu Yaner.

Gu Yan'er took a sip and immediately spat it out, shouting, "Raw!"

Lu Yugang asked in confusion: "How could it be raw?"

Just as he was about to try a bite himself, the bride quickly snatched the bowl and chopsticks from his hands and asked, "How many babies?"

It was only then that Lu Yugang and Gu Yan'er figured out what these raw dumplings meant. Gu Yan'er blushed instantly and didn't know how to respond.

Someone brave enough to help answered, "Give birth to a litter!"

There was another burst of laughter.

The bridesmaid said with a smile: "Good birth! Good birth! May the bride and groom have a baby soon."

Gu Yan'er blushed and said timidly, "Reward!"

Just as he finished speaking, Nan Wangyu's voice rang out from the door: "Lingxi, come here for a moment. Your father-in-law has been looking for you everywhere. He has something to tell you."

Lu Lingxi: "What's the matter?"

As he spoke he walked towards the door.

When they reached the door, Nan Wangyu took her hand and said, "I don't know either. You will know what your father-in-law wants to say to you when you get there."

Then he turned around and said, "You guys continue!"

Everyone in the bridal chamber said, "Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

Then the new house became lively again.

After the two walked away, Lu Lingxi found that Nan Wangyu was just taking him to stroll in the courtyard, and did not take him to find Lu Yi, so he asked, "Didn't Daddy say he wanted to talk to me?"

"My father-in-law didn't ask me to look for you."

"Then why did you call me out? I want to watch them make a fuss in the bridal chamber."

Nan Wangyu explained helplessly: "Didn't you notice that they were very reserved when you were inside, and there was no way to really make it lively?"

"I was guarding because I was afraid that they would lose their temper and start making trouble."

"Just relax, they are all sensible. This is in the Marquis' Mansion, and the bridesmaid is watching. They won't go too far. We should go and help our father-in-law see off the guests who are coming to see him off. He is busy running around in the front yard alone."

"Then why are you taking me wandering here? Go and help!" After saying that, he hurried to the front yard.

Nan Wangyu followed slowly behind.
