Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 474: The Emperor Refused To Give Up His Wicked Intentions

Chu Jiu’s gaze fell on the veil covering her face.

After coming out of the medicinal shop, Second Miss had put on the veil.

Remembering that Madam Lin also wore a veil, she could not help saying jokingly, “Perhaps Madam Lin is also a woman of great beauty like you, Miss, so she has to cover her face with a veil.”

Lu Liangwei nodded and said in agreement, “Maybe Madam Lin is really a beautiful woman.” Those eyes exposed outside the veil were really lovely and gentle.

...

On the eighth day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, Long Qingzhi arrived safely in the imperial capital under the escort of Long Xiao, the Prince of Xiangyang.

Back then, when the Seventh Princess was married off to Danjue, she secured a few years for Great Shang to recover from the aftermath of the war, contributing significantly to the kingdom. Therefore, the Emperor decreed her as Grand Princess of Ning and rewarded her with a princess residence.

To highlight the Grand Princess of Ning’s status, on the second day the Grand Princess returned to the capital, the Emperor specially invited all court officials to a banquet to welcome her back.

Lu Liangwei could not refuse this time. The Grand Princess of Ning was Long Yang’s sister, and it was only reasonable that she attended the banquet.

The Dowager Duchess was already old and disliked such occasions, so she excused herself from entering the palace, leaving only Lu Hetian to bring Lu Liangwei in.

The moment they walked out of the mansion gates, Lu Hetian’s face darkened at the sight of Chu Yi sitting on a carriage.

He could bring Weiwei into the palace himself. Why must the Emperor meddle?

Did he think that the Grand Duke Mansion did not have any carriages?

“Second Miss.” Chu Yi jumped down from the carriage and drew the curtains aside for her courteously.

Lu Liangwei glanced at her father, noting his gloomy expression and his plain dislike for Chu Yi, whom Long Yang had sent. She shook his arm and said cutely, “Dad, come sit with me.”

Lu Hetian had planned to go by horse, but he could not resist his daughter’s cuteness and eventually agreed, “Alright.”

Lu Liangwei beamed with delight.

Seeing this, Chu Yi hurried over to help her into the carriage, but Lu Hetian pushed him away and even shot him a glare.

Chu Yi rubbed his nose a little sheepishly.

The Grand Duke was so scary. He just wanted to help Second Miss, but he was already so defensive.

Chu Yi stood aside without another word. After the father and daughter had gotten into the carriage, he climbed aboard and drove toward the palace.

They were taking the royal family’s carriage, so they did not have to get down at the palace gates and could drive in directly.

There were already many carriages parked in front of the palace gates. All the court officials had to get off here and walk in.

Seeing the royal family’s carriage approaching, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked over.

“Who’s in the carriage?”

“Is it Second Miss Lu?”

Someone made a guess.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Who would have thought that Lu Liangwei, whom everyone scorned in the past, would end up winning the Emperor’s affection?

Ever since the Emperor declared Second Miss Lu of the Grand Duke Family as Empress, the people who used to scoff at her did not dare to underestimate her anymore.

When they met her, they would greet her cautiously for fear of offending her.

Unaware of the bustle at the palace gates, Lu Liangwei headed straight to Hidden Dragon Palace in the carriage.

The moment she got out, Zhao Qian came up to her. “You’re finally here, Second Miss...”

When he saw Lu Hetian coming out behind Lu Liangwei, the enthusiasm on his face froze for a second.

However, he was quick to react. “Grand Duke.”

Lu Hetian gave him a slight nod, jumped down from the carriage, and helped Lu Liangwei down.

Lu Hetian glanced at Hidden Dragon Palace indignantly.

How dare that scumbag Long Yang order his servant to bring Weiwei here directly? He really refused to give up his wicked intentions.

The emperor wanted to be alone with Weiwei, but he was not going to let that happen.

“Weiwei, the welcoming banquet is taking place in Jade Dew Hall. Let’s go there.” With that, he took Lu Liangwei’s hand in a natural manner and made a move to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian secretly cursed Lu Hetian for being a jerk.
