Chapter 996: Chu Qi Stared At Lu Liangwei’s Stomach
Lu Liangwei’s words had just left her mouth when she felt the boy turn his cold stare to her.
Lu Liangwei could sense his indignance clearly.
She looked away a little sheepishly.
Chu Qi was only fifteen this year, after all.
After hesitating briefly, she t his eyes and said with a grin, “You’re already fifteen this year, Lil Qi. If there’s a girl you fancy, let know and I’ll get you two engaged.”‘’
She was being completely sincere.
Chu Qi parted his lips slightly to speak, but at that mont, his gaze landed on her huge belly. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly said, “I don’t have a girl I fancy right now, but when I eventually do, I hope you can rember what you said today and fulfill your promise, Your Highness.”
Lu Liangwei was taken aback.
It was actually very rude and insolent of him to stare at her stomach so brazenly.
However, when the person in question was Chu Qi, such behavior no longer seed uncharacteristically outrageous.
Lu Liangwei could not even bring herself to be angry.
That was because the boy’s eyes were crystal clear and devoid of any trace of irreverence.
Still, for so reason, to hear him say sothing like that while looking at her stomach made Lu Liangwei feel that she might regret her promise one day.
......
Just when she was about to speak, the boy had already turned on his heel and left.
Her mouth opened, then closed again as she eventually swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
Naturally, Lin Qingyuan had also heard what Chu Qi said, and she suddenly whipped her head around to stare at Lu Liangwei’s stomach. “You’d better hope that you give birth to a son.”
At her words, Lu Liangwei, who already had a sense of foreboding, felt a chill run down her spine. She replied a little weakly, “You think too much. Even if I give birth to a daughter, Chu Qi’s already fifteen. The age gap’s just too big…”
Lin Qingyuan was used to speaking her mind around her, so when she heard this, she scoffed. “His Majesty and you are exactly fifteen years apart.”
Lu Liangwei, “...”
The Dowager Duchess poked Lin Qingyuan’s head and chided her good-naturedly, “Always the prattler. You’re already sixteen this year, aren’t you? That’s old enough to get married, and if you keep putting it off, you’re going to beco an old maid.”
Lin Qingyuan hurriedly clung to her arm fawningly. “You’re right, you’re right. Please help look for suitable candidates, Madam. If you find soone decent, I’ll marry him right away.”
Everyone there was familiar with each other, so there was no taboo when it ca to joking.
The Dowager Duchess, having spent her youth storming the battlefield, was a woman of gallantness. Therefore, she was not at all taken aback by Lin Qingyuan’s shaless statent—in fact, she found it very much agreeable. “Certainly. After I return, I’ll help you select a few promising young n. I’m sure one of them will catch your eye.”
“Then I’ll leave my marriage entirely in your hands, Madam.” Lin Qingyuan grinned.
Ling Lihua sat beside Lu Liangwei and checked her pulse as usual.
Lu Liangwei was actually in fine health, and thanks to her knowledge of dicine, she could take good care of herself and save herself from all the minor aches and ailnts that other pregnant won had to suffer.
Naturally, Ling Lihua was aware of her excellent physical condition too, but she still could not help herself from examining her daughter every ti they t.
“How’s your diet recently? Did you feel any sort of discomfort?” Despite having confird through the pulse diagnosis that she was perfectly fine, Ling Lihua still asked for good asure.
“I’m fine, but I’ve been getting occasional cramps for the past few nights,” Lu Liangwei answered honestly.
Ling Lihua nodded. “Occasional cramps are normal, but you should still try to avoid cold foods.” Weiwei’s condition could be considered mild—so pregnant won regularly get severe cramps that would disrupt their sleep at night.
“All right,” Lu Liangwei replied ekly.
Not long after, Long Yang and Lu Hetian ca in together.
Just now, they had been in the imperial study discussing several matters related to the frontier, which ended up taking quite so ti.
