Chu Qi hesitated before standing up.
Lu Liangwei's expression finally softened when she looked at both of them. "Alright, now that we've gotten the air clear, you shouldn't go hungry. Go ahead and finish your al first."
Ji'er hugged her arm when she saw this and asked in a small voice, "You're no longer mad at us, right, Mother?"
Lu Liangwei rubbed her hair and sighed, "Why should I be mad at you when things are already this way?" She reached out to touch Ji'er's belly as she spoke and a smile appeared on Lu Liangwei's face. "It's more than two months now. I'll be a grandmother in another seven months." Lu Liangwei turned to Lil Qi and teased at this point, "Lil Qi is about to be a father soon."
A smile appeared on Chu Qi's face.
He was initially stunned and astonished to find out Ji'er was pregnant, but now, all that he felt was joy.
After that, Lu Liangwei taught them what to look out for during the pregnancy before they returned for the al at Grand Phoenix Palace.
This ti, Lu Liangwei did not give Ji'er any oily or gay food. She even specially ordered the imperial kitchen to customize Ji'er's daily als.
Considering the fact that no one knew about Ji'er and Chu Qi married in private, Lu Liangwei did not publicly announce Ji'er's pregnancy.
However, Long Yin and Yaoyao, as well as Hexin, who was staying in the Palace, knew about it.
After all, they were siblings and Lu Liangwei did not hide it from them.
Chu Qi and Long Yin headed to the imperial study to see Long Yang after they were done with the al.
Ji'er stayed behind at Grand Phoenix Palace.
Yaoyao thought it amazing since she found out about a baby living inside Ji'er's tummy.
"This is incredible. I'll be an aunt in a short ti."
Hexin ca in close as well to stare at Ji'er's tummy.
Both of them were extrely curious.
"It doesn't look anything like a little baby is in there."
Lu Liangwei found it funny to listen to their silly conversation. "The baby has only grown a little. It's a little smaller than our thumbs right now, which makes sense that you can't tell it's in there."
"The baby is only that small?" Yaoyao's eyes widened.
"Yes. Its growth is slower in the beginning, but will accelerate at a later stage," Lu Liangwei explained.
Yaoyao's faze fell onto Ji'er's face and she said emotionally, "Ji'er, I can't believe that you're younger than , but you're about to beco a mother first."
As they were chatting, Chu Qi ca over not long after to say goodbye to Ji'er and left the Palace.
Even though both of them had already perford their wedding ceremony and were considered husband and wife, it did not count as such in Lu Liangwei and Long Yang's opinions. They had to wait until Ji'er's coming-of-age ceremony was over to hold their wedding ceremony in grandeur before they consider it official.
That was why Ji'er had to continue staying in the Palace and was not allowed to return to the General Mansion with Chu Qi.
When Chu Qi entered the room, Lu Liangwei's sharp eyes noticed what looked like a bruise on the corner of his lips. She guessed sothing had happened. Long Yang must have punched Chu Qi when he went to the imperial study just now.
She sighed. It was not hard to guess how shocked Long Yang must be when he found out Ji'er was pregnant.
Chu Qi did not want Ji'er to see what a ss he was and he purposely turned to the side when speaking to her.
He quickly left the Palace after speaking a few hurried words to Ji'er.
Yaoyao stared as he left and suddenly said to Ji'er, "The corner of Lil Qi's lips is bruised. Father must have punched him.
Ji'er's heart tightened when she heard this.
Lil Qi had turned to the side when he was speaking to her, which was why she did not notice the bruise near his lips.
"That's ridiculous. Your father has always acted elegantly. How could he act in such a barbaric behavior?" Lu Liangwei darted a coy look at Yaoyao.
Yaoyao stuck out her tongue to express her disagreent with Lu Liangwei's statent.
