1332 Wanting To Misbehave But Not Having The Guts
“You didn’t?” Lu Liangwei looked at him skeptically. She clearly did not believe him.
Long Yang paused. “All I did was share some tips on Light Body Skill.”
Lu Liangwei was at a loss for words. “How could Yin’er understand that when he’s so young?”
“It’s fine if he doesn’t understand now. He’ll remember if I repeat it to him often. Once he’s a little older, I’ll teach him martial arts personally,” Long Yang said casually. As the heir to the Emperor’s throne, the boy would need to be adept at both the pen and the sword.
!!
Lu Liangwei knew Long Yang was a far-sighted man and, as she was always supportive of his arrangements, she did not comment on it.
Boys needed to learn more.
This was especially so during this era which placed importance on martial arts skills. The boy would at least need to learn how to protect himself.
All three children were worn out from playing through the entire afternoon. They dozed off in their parents’ arms before finally reaching home at Grand Phoenix Palace.
The days continued to pa.s.s by peacefully and then one day, Lin Qingyuan came to visit Lu Liangwei at the Palace.
Lu Liangwei was playing with the children at the moment, and when she saw how enthusiastic Lin Qingyuan looked, she asked, “What are you so happy about?”
Lin Qingyuan looked at her with sparkling eyes. She did not give a direct answer, but instead said with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for two days, but I see you’ve gotten even prettier.”
Lu Liangwei touched her face. “You don’t have a problem with your eyes, do you?”
“Huh?” Lin Qingyuan was taken aback.
“I’ve always been pretty, didn’t you know?” Lu Liangwei raised an eyebrow and a smile played on her lips.
Realizing she had been teased, Lin Qingyuan could not help saying, “You’re pretty thick-skinned, aren’t you?” Who would praise themselves like that?
“I’m just being honest.” Lu Liangwei was not humble at all.
“Alright, alright. You’re the prettiest in this entire world. Happy?” Lin Qingyuan replied in a huff.
Lu Liangwei burst out in laughter. “I wouldn’t say that. This is a big world. There are plenty of people out there prettier than I am.”
Lin Qingyuan darted a look at her and asked, “Aren’t you bored from being stuck in the Palace all day?”
Lu Liangwei shook her head. “I’m not bored at all. In fact, I feel like I don’t have enough time.”
Lin Qingyuan looked at how she was carrying a baby on her left, another on her right, and there was one more at her side. Lin Qingyuan choked.
She coughed lightly after a while and suggested, “The weather is quite nice today. Why not have a walk outside?”
Lu Liangwei was put in a spot when she heard this. Compared to taking a walk outside, she preferred to accompany her three children.
“I’ll pa.s.s. You can go out by yourself. I don’t feel like leaving the Palace.”
“Come on, let’s go. You haven’t had any fun outside the Palace since you returned. You can come back in no time.” Lin Qingyuan inched closer to Lu Liangwei and tried to convince her.
When Lu Liangwei saw her behaving like this, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “You’re being awfully enthusiastic. Did you find somewhere fun to go?”
There was a flash in Lin Qingyuan’s eyes. “It’s a really fun place.”
“Where is it?” Lu Liangwei continued playing with her children while asking nonchalantly.
“Peony Pavilion. I’ve told you about it before, remember?” Lin Qingyuan had planned to only tell her about the place after dragging her out, but judging by Lu Liangwei’s reaction, the Empress would definitely refuse to leave if she did not know where they were going. As such, Lin Qingyuan could only inform her honestly. “I’ve heard the Peony Pavilion will be choosing a leading courtesan today. There are going to be lots of people. Why not join in on the fun?”
Lu Liangwei was rather astonished. “You want me to follow you to a brothel?”
Lin Qingyuan jumped when she heard this. She quickly put a finger to her lips and said in a whisper, “My Empress, please lower your voice. Do you want me to end up dead?”
Lu Liangwei gave her a condescending look. “Wanting to misbehave, but not having the guts!”
“That’s right. I have no guts, which is why I’m inviting you to go with me,” Lin Qingyuan said honestly.
“You’ve got the wrong person. I can’t follow you.” Lu Liangwei was not willing to land herself in trouble. If His Majesty found out she had visited a brothel, it would not end well for her.
