Chapter 265 Princess' Concubine 06
So I feel a little jealous at this moment. Who wants to be a slave when you can be the master?
But when Dong Li heard her words, his honest face was filled with shock. "What are you talking about? Miss Liu came from the Princess's courtyard. Being a concubine is fine. What does it have to do with us? Besides, the prince is very good to us servants. We should just do our duty. Why pursue those illusory things!"
Luhua snorted coldly and said nothing, but she didn't hear a word. If possible, who would want to be a slave? Of course she would want the chance to move up.
The academy that Lu Yingqin went to was run by the Lu family and was considered a clan school. Some of the family members who were on good terms with the family would also be sent here by their younger generations to study.
He and Song Qingrang were only three years apart in age, so he naturally agreed to be taught by the same teacher. So even if he wanted to hide from others, Song Qingrang still sat at the same table with him when class started.
Normally, the two of them have a close relationship, and the seat next to him is reserved for Song Qingrang, so no one would sit here to spoil the fun.
But even if they sat together, Lu Yingqin would still ignore her. No matter what he thought in the past, he already knew everything last night and should not give Song Qingrang any hope.
But Song Qingrang was not willing to give up. When no one was paying attention after school, he pulled his sleeve pitifully and said, "Cousin, are you really ignoring me? I can accept that you have no interest in me, but this kind of indifference makes me feel so blocked and painful that I can't even breathe."
Lu Yingqin glanced at him and turned away from his tearful eyes, looking cold and heartless: "Qingrang, no matter what happened before, I am engaged to Miss Meng, and I have a concubine in the courtyard. You just rely on me too much. In the future, you will meet a woman you like."
He said this with a straight face, and Lu Yingqin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know at this time that he had already been moved. It was a pity that later...
"Lu Yingqin, you clearly promised me that you would consider our relationship. You also said that you are the only one in the Lu family, so you will be with me after you get married and have an heir. You clearly said all that, but how could you change so quickly? Did you... did you fall in love with that concubine?"
When he was talking to the concubine in the morning, his mind was full of Lu Yingqin and he didn't care about her appearance. Now that he thought about it carefully, the girl was indeed stunning in both appearance and figure, and any normal man would be attracted to her.
Lu Yingqin was a normal man in the past, and maybe he had changed with his efforts, but their relationship, which had not yet begun, was not solid at all, so this possibility was not impossible.
"What does this have to do with her? It's just that what we did is really against our will. Qingrang, I will continue to treat you the same as before, but..."
Song Qingrang shook his head and interrupted him directly, "But I still like... my cousin very much, my cousin whom I can't forget."
After all, they were still in the academy, so Song Qingrang didn't dare to say it out loud. He just shook his head while speaking, his face full of disbelief and sadness.
Lu Yingqin looked at him and felt a pain in his heart. If Song Qingrang was a girl, they could be considered "childhood sweethearts" and had a close relationship since childhood. But they were not. They were both men. Moreover, Lu Yingqin only thought that his cousin was too dependent on him. Perhaps he mistook this for love...
In order to stop Song Qingrang from thinking about him, Lu Yingqin decided to continue to treat him coldly. He had already been engaged, and when he got married, he should give up.
In the evening, Lu Yingqin came back and ordered dinner. As a maidservant, Liu Fuyin naturally had to serve him.
But someone disliked her and said, "The prince doesn't like women to serve him closely. Aren't you afraid of angering him by doing this?"
"I was sent by the princess to serve the prince closely. Isn't this what I should do?" Liu Fuyin didn't want to talk to her any more and directly brought up Princess Jinghe. As expected, Luhua remained silent.
This Luhua treated her with a little hostility, but she didn't do anything against her. Liu Fuyin never cared about it. As for her unconcealed feelings towards the prince, that was even less her business.
This is probably the only way a maid in a large mansion can use to make a name for herself. She is no exception, so she won't laugh at others. If Luhua really has that ability, Liu Fuyin would even praise her for being capable!
The prince's meal was naturally an exquisite eight dishes and two soups, with everything. When Liu Fuyin came in, she bowed first, and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she took the initiative to speak: "Prince, I will serve you the food."
Lu Yingqin did not refuse. They had already slept together, so it would be a joke for him to say that he did not like women to get close to him. Although it was true, the one in front of him was not that annoying.
After dinner, it was still early, so Lu Yingqin read for a while as usual. Liu Fuyin was naturally waiting beside him, and it was obvious that she was going to stay that night.
"Prince, please have some tea." Since Liu Fuyin stayed to serve, Nanny Chun told her some of the prince's daily preferences.
This included reading a book at night, so he would drink some refreshing or calming tea, and Liu Fuyin brought it to someone.
Lu Yingqin was indeed a little tired, and he was about to take it without looking up. When he stretched out his hand to hold the cup, the woman's fingertips happened to brush against his. Perhaps because they were close, he could even smell her faint fragrance, which was the fragrance that made him linger on the couch yesterday.
"Did you burn incense?" The incense smelled refreshing and sweet, which made people feel comfortable, so he asked.
Liu Fuyin was confused at first, then she bowed, with some worry in her eyes: "I didn't use any perfume, but there is a smell on my body that you can't get used to, Your Highness."
"That's probably body odor." Lu Yingqin had heard that some women had body odor, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the servant guarding the door suddenly came with a message: "Sir, the cousin is here."
