1327 Long Yang Was Absent From Court For The First Time

However, whenever Jier was not with him, he would get extremely uneasy and unused to her absence, which hampered him from doing anything properly.

Please dont be too anxious, Your Highness. Shell need more time to get used to it, and once she does, you can let her sleep with you. After a while, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice.

I guess I was a bit too eager. Lu Liangwei. She explained, Actually, we know that youre capable of taking good care of Jier, but youre still young and unmarriedwere worried that shell be a burden to you.

Marry?

Chu Qi was briefly stunned before lowering his gaze. Please dont fret, Your Highness. I havent thought about marriage yet. Jiers a good girlshe wont be a burden to me.

Lu Liangwei sighed. Fair enough. Youre only fifteenits not too late to think about it in a few more years.

Chu Qi furrowed his brow; he would not consider marriage even in a few more years.

After asking him about his duties that day and chatting with Chang for a while, Lu Liangwei reluctantly bid goodnight to Jier.

Having returned to Chu Qis arms, Jier flashed her a wide smile, all traces of her tantrum gone.

Lu Liangwei felt a little defeated.

If Chu Qi ranked first in this little girls heart, she and the Emperor probably had to settle for second or third place.

She squeezed Jiers chubby cheek and smiled. Ill come back for you tomorrow.

Chang saw her out.

Holding Jier, Chu Qi sat down on a stool. As he gazed at the baby girl in his arms, a hint of fondness crept into his cold eyes.

When Lu Liangwei returned to her bedchamber, she remembered what had happened earlier that day and decided to let Yiner and Yaoyao sleep in the side hall that night.

After leaving a few instructions to the two nannies, she made her way back to the bedchamber.

The Emperor had gone to the imperial study after dinner and was not back yet, so she went to the bathroom and indulged herself in a relaxing bath.

When she came back out, Long Yang just happened to walk in, thinly shrouded in evening dew.

The quietness of the bedchamber caught him off guard, and his gaze landed on Lu Liangwei. Where are the children?

Lu Liangwei averted her gaze. Jiers with Chu Qi, and Yaoyao and Yiner are sleeping in the side hall tonight. She took two steps toward him and lifted her head to look at him. You must be tired. Do you want to take a bath?

Long Yang gazed down at her, his heart starting to race. You want to take a bath with me?

Without a word, Lu Liangwei started to unfasten his belt.

Long Yang swallowed, out of both surprise and delight.

After removing his outer robe, Lu Liangwei took his hand and led him into the bathroom.

A steamy atmosphere settled over the room.

Lu Liangweis rare act of making the first move sent Long Yang into a frenzy of desire.

The next day, Long Yang was absent from court for the first time.

Lu Liangwei was disapproving when she found out about it after waking up. Why didnt you go to court?

How could I focus on court affairs when my empress is so tempting? Long Yang pulled her into his arms and said cheerfully.

His words reminded Lu Liangwei of their pa.s.sionate night, and she immediately felt like smas.h.i.+ng her head against a wall. What would other people think about the Emperors sudden absence from court?

I told Zhao Qian to inform the public that Ive come down with a cold so they wont start getting any strange ideas. Long Yang knew what she was thinking from her mortified expression, and he rea.s.sured her gently.

Sure enough, Lu Liangwei heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.

Aroused once again by the sight of her blus.h.i.+ng face, Long Yang pinned her beneath him, but just when he was about to strip her, the sound of a babys cries came from outside the doors. He stiffened. Lu Liangwei, on the other hand, reacted by roughly pus.h.i.+ng him away and scrambling up from the bed.

Yaoyaos crying Running a hand through her unkempt hair, Lu Liangwei hastily slipped on her shoes and started toward the doors.

Quick as lightning, Long Yang pulled her back. Combing her messy tresses with his long fingers, he said a little wearily, Its all right to let her cry for a while. You should clean up first.
