Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 56

Chapter 562: There You Go Again, Your Majesty

This is why she asked Matron Chen to prepare the gift at the last minute, but after she saw Lu Liangwei wearing the Phoenix Blood Jade, she wanted to find an excuse to not give her the gift anymore.

In the presence of the Emperor, the gift for Your Highness should not be too plain.

Although the jade bangle is no match for the valuable and rare Phoenix Blood Jade, it is still one of her prized possessions. So if there was no need to give it away, she would rather not do so.

To her surprise, she acted as if she really liked the gift. She could not tell if Lu Liangwei was foolish or if she did it on purpose. She even uttered such sincere words, if she did not give it to her, would she not seem stingy?

There was no reason for her to take back the gift.

She could not help but feel her heart ache at the thought of it.

“It’s getting late, let’s all go back and get some rest.” She said with a kind face although she could not suppress the agitation in her heart as she rotated the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand.

“In that case, Your Imperial Highness should get some rest too, I will bring the Empress back first.” Long Yang stood up first and left with Lu Liangwei.

As soon as the two left, Long Yang and the others got up one after another to be dismissed.

After leaving Tranquility Palace, Long Chi’s eyes narrowed while looking at the two who were already far away.

He vowed to himself that one day, he would get Lu Liangwei back!

Lu Yunshuang followed his gaze and asked, “What are you looking at, Crown Prince?”

He averted his gaze and turned to look at her. He suddenly remembered Lu Liangwei’s words.

His eyes could not help but fall on her face. He suddenly felt that her appearance was indeed more old-fashioned, not as pretty and seductive as Chen Qiyu.

His complexion went pale as he thought, “Nothing, it’s getting late, you should head back early.” After saying that, he strode toward the Eastern Palace.

Lu Yunshuang’s eyes narrowed.

Is he starting to dislike me?

Chen Qiyu walked over and secretly sneered as she saw the gloominess in her eyes.

“What’s wrong, Crown Princess? Still not leaving?” she asked as if she was concerned.

Lu Yunshuang glanced at her and suddenly curled her lips into a smile. Her gaze fell on her flat stomach. “Beauty Chen is indeed a blessed one.”

Chen Qiyu touched her stomach and said with a smile, “I still have to rely on Crown Princess for my blessings.”

Lu Yunshuang gave her a gloomy stare and walked off without a word.

Chen Qiyu stood in place for a while before she took Mei’Er with her and walked toward the Eastern Palace.

All the humiliation she had to suffer, she would definitely pay them back one by one!

Long Yang walked leisurely toward Grand Phoenix Palace while holding Lu Liangwei’s hand.

The night scenery was nice, and the palace maids quietly followed behind.

Long Yang turned his head sideways and looked at the girl beside him.

After noticing that she was still fiddling with the brocade box in her hands, he asked amusingly, “Do you like Her Imperial Highness’s thing that much?”

Lu Liangwei shook the brocade box in her hands and gave a playful smile, “To be honest, I don’t like it that much. The bangle Her Imperial Highness gave is incomparable to the Phoenix Blood Jade you gave, but since it is a gift from her, it is also a token of appreciation. It would be disrespectful to reject it.”

Long Yang patted her head and smiled. “You obviously wanted to make her angry.”

“No, I didn’t, you can’t smear me.” Lu Liangwei firmly denied that she wanted the bangle just to annoy Empress Dowager Xiaojing.

“Then it’s my fault.” Long Yang’s smile faded as he shook his head.

Lu Liangwei glanced at him. “It’s good that you know.”

Long Yang looked at her disapprovingly and suddenly said in a low voice, “Lu Liangwei, you have a lot of nerves!”

Lu Liangwei said in a disgusted tone without even blinking, “There you go again, Your Majesty!”

Long Yang massaged the space between his eyebrows as he felt helpless with her.

His little Empress is not afraid of him at all, he was frustrated as well but more than that, he felt conniving.

He could not help but reach out to pinch her pretty nose, “Are you really that unafraid of me?”
