Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1326 He Had Something Else In Mind

Long Yang enfolded his sulky empress in his arms and brought his lips close to her ear. “If you’re not feeling well, go and take a bath. I’ll look after the children.”

Lu Liangwei shot him an incredulous look.

They had been pressed for time, and Lu Liangwei’s worry for the children had hindered her from cooperating with him, so he had finished the deed a little sloppily without fully enjoying himself. By coaxing her to take a bath, it was possible that he had something else in mind.

Her body felt a little clammy, and she badly wanted to take a bath, but she was afraid that he would make advances on her again.

“I’m fine. You still have work to do in the imperial study, don’t you? You should go on ahead.” She urged him to leave.

Long Yang caught her hands as they pushed against him. Sighing, he gazed at her with his deep eyes. “Weiwei, did I make you uncomfortable just now?”

Lu Liangwei was taken aback by his candid question. Her cheeks immediately heated up, and she said in a low voice, “Not at all. Don’t think too much.”

“But you’re upset.” Long Yang pinched her nose.

“I’m not upset.” Lu Liangwei frowned.

Seeing how evasive she was, Long Yang stopped pressing her for an answer. However, he was still worried that he had hurt her just now.

He reached out and helped her adjust her rumpled dress. Just when he was about to speak, Yaoyao suddenly started wailing.

Alarmed, Lu Liangwei pushed Long Yang away hastily and whirled around to pick Yaoyao up. Feeling the baby’s clothes and discovering that they were still dry, Lu Liangwei figured that she must be hungry. After cooing comfortingly to her, she noticed that Long Yang was still standing there and she wrinkled her brow. “Why are you still here? Yaoyao’s hungry. I’m going to call Nanny Chen in to feed her.”

Long Yang hesitated briefly before turning and walking out.

As Lu Liangwei watched his towering figure leave the room, she was reminded of their moment in the inner hall just now and could not stop herself from blushing.

Actually, she did not blame him either.

Since returning to the palace, she had dedicated her full attention to the children and had neglected his needs for intimacy. He had expressed his desire several times, but she refused to comply due to the children’s presence.

He had suppressed himself for too long, which resulted in him being a little pushy this time.

Only when the two nannies came in did Lu Liangwei come back to her senses and hand the children over to them.

Both Long Yin and Yaoyao drank breast milk; only Ji’er drank cow milk or goat milk.

Lu Liangwei ordered the servants to bring her some warm cow milk and fed it to Ji’er personally.

That night, Lu Liangwei attempted to make Ji’er stay with her.

The little girl had played with her siblings happily during the day, but now at night, when Chu Qi was nowhere in her sight, she started to throw a tantrum.

Lu Liangwei had no choice but to take Ji’er back to Chu Qi’s quarters.

To make it easier to care for Ji’er, Chu Qi stayed in the side hall of Grand Phoenix Palace.

When Lu Liangwei arrived with Ji’er, Chu Qi and Chang were having dinner.

Ji’er’s tantrum immediately subsided the instant she saw Chu Qi, and she babbled loudly as she stretched out her tiny arms in his direction.

Chu Qi had been somewhat reluctant to eat due to Ji’er’s absence. Now that the little girl was here, he set down his bowl and chopsticks at once and shot to his feet. With two strides, he reached Lu Liangwei and took Ji’er from her.

Lu Liangwei was not at all surprised to see the boy’s eyes light up the moment he saw Ji’er.

After smoothing down Ji’er’s clothes, she said to Chu Qi a little helplessly, “I wanted to let her sleep in my room tonight, but once it got dark, she started to cry when she realized you weren’t around.”

As Chu Qi listened to her quietly, his fingers tightened their hold ever so slightly on Ji’er.

He had already expected that the Empress would want Ji’er to sleep with her, which was why he had been so unsettled.

He knew that he should not feel that way. After all, Ji’er was the Emperor and Empress’s daughter; they would definitely treat her better than he ever could.
