C5 Is He a Pig?

“Master, I brought you clothes, shoes, and warm water,” the maid replied.

“Come in.”

The maid pushed the door open and walked in with clean clothes and shoes.

“Put the things down. You can go out first.”

“Yes.”

The maid put the clothes and the water basin on the table and shoes on the floor before leaving the room.

Lu Yuanxi looked at the things. She cleaned her feet, put on the shoes, and stood up.

“The sun is about to set. You two stay in the room and don’t run around.”

The two little girls agreed. Lu Yuanxi grabbed the clothes on the table and put them on. Then she left the Ya Lan Pavilion.

Lu Yuanxi felt like she was in a different world as she walked on the small path in the north of the town.

She thought that she would never get the chance to return to this place again. She didn’t expect that she would return to the north of the town by chance.

In this life, he would protect this small piece of land no matter what.

…

The Eastern Palace.

Leng Manxiu opened her eyes and looked at the familiar veil. She was dazed for a moment.

He really came back.

Leng Manxiu squinted her eyes. Since he came back, Lu Bi must have come back as well!

Leng Manxiu sat up and got off the bed.

He walked to the window and pushed it open. He looked at a certain direction outside the window with a firm and resolute look in his eyes.

Since he could come back, there was nothing to worry about!

…

Lu Yuanxi recuperated in the manor for a few days, and she had fully recovered.

She had been thinking a lot during these days.

Since she had no ability to protect the manor, she might as well conceal her power and build up her strength.

However, before she could do anything, an imperial edict was sent to the manor.

“The Emperor has decreed that the manor lord, Lu Bi, is talented and wise. From today onward, he will be the Crown Prince’s study companion. This is the imperial edict.”

It was ridiculous. He was just about to conceal his power when Emperor Cang Ji said, “He is talented and wise.”

In his previous life, there was no such thing as him becoming the study companion of Leng Ning. How did it happen so suddenly?

“Yuanxi, quickly receive the edict!”

Lu Hongwen reminded her.

Lu Yuanxi took a deep look at the imperial edict, and her eyes surged with emotions.

She bowed to the imperial edict and said, “Lu Bi, Lu Yuanxi receives the edict. Thank you, my lord.”

The imperial Eunuch smiled in satisfaction and handed the imperial edict to Lu Yuanxi.

Lu Yuanxi took it with both hands and held it in her hands.

The imperial Eunuch looked at Lu Hongwen and said, “Lord Lu, the young lord has become the Crown Prince’s study companion. His future is boundless.”

Lu Hongwen smiled politely and said, “It is my son’s fortune to become the Crown Prince’s study companion. Please!”

Lu Hongwen returned to the main hall after sending off the imperial decree. He saw Lu Yuanxi holding the imperial decree in her hand and playing with it casually.

“Yuanxi!”

Lu Hongwen immediately stepped forward and snatched the imperial decree. He scolded, “Yuanxi, how can you disrespect the imperial decree!”

“Father, there is no one in the main hall. The imperial decree has left. I only turned the imperial decree around a little. I didn’t throw it on the ground to step on it. Why are you in such a hurry?”

Lu Yuanxi’s tone was indifferent. She didn’t take it seriously at all.

Lu Hongwen frowned and said earnestly, “Yuanxi, you must remember that you can’t disrespect the imperial decree.”
