My husband, who abandoned his father and kept his son, actually wants me to be his concubine.

Chapter 58 Rong Yi is Drunk
Rong Yi said, "Before a prince's marriage, the palace will send a matron to teach the prince's wife the rules. My six sisters-in-law did the same. It's not just me who's going to restrain you. If you find it troublesome, you can just learn some things to get by."

"You only dare to say something as absurd as suggesting I find another woman to be my prince's consort because you don't care about me at all."

Lu Jinshi frowned slightly and said, "That's a nanny sent from the palace. How can you expect me to just do a perfunctory job? You must be thinking that I don't follow the rules and want me to learn some manners to be respectful to you, the Seventh Prince."

Rong Yi let out a deep breath. "You've never shown any consideration for me, so why would you care about the maids from the palace? Fine, fine, I'll send these teaching maids back to the palace."

After Rong Yi finished speaking, he left the room.

Caiyun poured Lu Jinshi a cup of tea and said, "Miss, you should speak to His Highness properly. Why provoke him and make yourself angry?"

Lu Jinshi took the tea and sipped it lightly, saying, "Rong Yi himself said that I should learn some rules. He must also think that I want to learn rules. He can be superior to me, so I won't argue with him. After entering the palace, there will be many more rules to learn."

After Lu Jinshi finished speaking, he looked at the girls' school, which had no applicants, and couldn't help but sigh.

Even with a princess teaching etiquette, no daughter of any rank was willing to study at Lingxiao Academy.

It was extremely difficult to establish a school for girls in Chang'an.

As night fell, Lu Jinshi coaxed Xiao Zhang'er to sleep in her arms. After handing Xiao Zhang'er over to the wet nurse, she did not see Rong Yi return, so she went to sleep herself. She still had to get up early to go to the academy the next day.

Lu Jinshi was already asleep when she felt someone pinch her nose, making it hard to breathe. She opened her eyes and saw Rong Yi sitting by her bedside. "Rong Yi!"

Rong Yi, slightly drunk, said, "I'm angry today, don't you know?"

Lu Jinshi smelled the alcohol on Rong Yi and softened her tone a bit, saying, "You're angry just because I don't want to learn the rules? You clearly said that I wouldn't be restricted after I became a prince's consort."

Rong Yi said aggrievedly, "Even if you learn the rules, they can't restrain you. How can I be angry that you don't want to learn the rules? What I'm angry about is that you've asked me to find other women to be the Seventh Prince's consort time and time again..."

“Lu Jinshi, I don’t care or resent you for making me your male concubine. I don’t care that you, this heartless woman, separated me from Zhang’er and his son. I care about you so much, yet you don’t care about me at all.”

Lu Jinshi leaned closer and smelled the alcohol on Rong Yi. "How much did you drink?"

Rong Yi said, "You don't care how much I drink, and you just fall asleep."

Lu Jinshi didn't want to say anything more to the drunkard. She reached out and took Rong Yi's hand, saying, "It's my fault, okay? I was just angry because I heard the headmistress say that I should serve you with utmost respect. Go to sleep."

Rong Yi said, "Is this how you coax me?"

Seeing Rong Yi's drunken state, Lu Jinshi found it rather amusing and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "So how do you want me to coax you?"

Rong Yi stared intently at Lu Jinshi's red lips, then lowered his head and kissed them. "Now that's how you coax me."

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "Now that you've coaxed me, go to sleep."

Rong Yi got into bed, pulled Lu Jinshi into his arms, and whispered, "I don't even ask you to love me, but when will you ever care about me even a little bit..."

Looking at Rong Yi's handsome face, which was full of drunkenness, Lu Jinshi didn't dare to care about Rong Yi. As soon as she entered Chang'an, he made her his concubine. The examples of her own parents, Princess Yongjia and Yuan Jie were vividly presented in front of her.

Even marrying down doesn't guarantee a good ending, let alone Rong Yi, who will become the future crown prince. If she cares too much about Rong Yi, she will surely not have a good ending either.

More than Rong Yi himself, she cared about the power he could bring her...

Lu Jinshi whispered in Rong Yi's ear, "I love you."

Isn't the power that Ai Rongyi brings also a form of love?
Rong Yi scoffed, "Little liar!"

The next day, when Lu Jinshi and Rong Yi woke up, it was already past dawn. They hurried and managed not to be too late. After Lu Jinshi finished explaining a test paper, he heard from the maid outside that Princess Yongjia had brought two female students.

Lu Jinshi hurriedly went to the guest courtyard to take a look. One of the young ladies looked familiar to Lu Jinshi. "Aren't you Xu Yang's sister, Xu Dan? I've seen you play polo at the polo field. You were very dashing."

Xu Dan smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, I heard that you are recruiting female students. I am willing to come to the academy to be a female student. This is my cousin Anjing. She is also here to study with me."

Lu Jinshi smiled faintly and said, "That's wonderful. I've been recruiting female students for several days, and finally someone is willing to come. However, you need your parents' approval to come to the girls' school. Have you discussed it with your parents?"

Xu Dan said, "We've discussed it. My elder brother is also studying at Lingxiao Academy. My parents' idea is for me to go in and out with my brother, so they're at ease."

Lu Jinshi smiled faintly. To this day, Lingxiao Academy has not been able to recruit any girls to study here. Most of them are daughters from wealthy families who are worried about sending their daughters back and forth alone.

It would be better to have Jiang Yin, Yuan Fei, and their sisters come to the academy later. With their brothers there, their parents would naturally feel at ease.

Lu Jinshi said, "I will take you to the school to have a look."

Lu Jinshi led Xu Dan and her cousin An Jing to the Yaoguang Academy, saying, "You will study here from now on."

Princess Yongjia looked at the wheat fields outside the window and said, "The scenery outside is quite beautiful."

"Junior Sister." Upon entering and seeing Princess Yongjia, Mu Yan hurriedly said, blushing, "Your Highness."

Lu Jinshi said to Mu Yan, "Senior brother, these two are Xu Yang's younger sisters, and they are also the first two students in the girls' school."

Mu Yan didn't dare to look at the two women's faces, and only whispered, "It's good that Junior Sister can recruit students."

Rong Yi followed Mu Yan inside and said, "Senior Brother Mu, my elder sister is also coming to teach these female students manners. Why don't you take her around and let her get familiar with Lingxiao Academy?"

Mu Yan bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, Seventh Prince."

Princess Yongjia saw the hidden smile in Rong Yi's eyes and understood what her seventh brother was thinking. She did not refuse, after all, life was boring, and teasing this easily blushing and shy senior brother Mu was quite interesting.

With a blush, Mu Yan led Princess Yongjia on a tour of the academy.

Lu Jinshi walked over to Rong Yi and said, "You haven't given up on the idea of ​​bringing Senior Brother Mu and your royal sister together yet?"

Rong Yi said, "Senior Brother Mu and the Imperial Sister are a perfect match. Senior Brother Mu is devoted to his studies, so he probably won't be too demanding about having children."

Lu Jinshi smiled faintly and said, "This is indeed a good match. Senior Brother Mu seems like a reliable person."

Rong Yi frowned when he heard Lu Jinshi praising Mu Yan.

At the other end of the academy, Lu Xiao followed Qin Ke into Qin Ke's room and said, "The room in this academy is too dilapidated and too small. Why don't you come and stay with me in the Prince An's mansion?"

Qin Ke said, "Cousin, I'm quite comfortable living in the academy. I can learn more from Senior Brother Mu Yan."

"Your Highness, this is where the students stay. Currently, Junior Brother Qin Ke is staying here."

Hearing the voices coming from outside, Lu Xiao walked to the door.

Just then, Princess Yongjia's teasing voice rang out from outside, "Senior Brother Mu, what kind of monster am I? Why don't you dare look at me and stand so far away to answer me? Come closer and I won't eat you."

Hearing Princess Yongjia's teasing voice, Lu Xiao clenched his fists...
