There was no way she would not feel anything after Long Yang gave her such special treatment.
It was just that…
She had wanted to run away before, but now it seemed that it was inevitable.
Although she was still a little reluctant, she had no choice in front of his authority.
If even her grandmother could not make Long Yang withdraw his edict, then there was probably no room for negotiation in this matter.
In that case, she should just go with the flow.
Having reached this conclusion, she no longer struggled internally, and she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, after Lu Liangwei got up, two nimble maidservants came in to help her wash up.
During breakfast, she learned that Long Yang had returned to the palace to attend morning court before dawn.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Like I said, as the Emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom, Long Yang must have endless state affairs to handle. There’s no way he has so much time to waste.’
She planned to go home after finishing breakfast.
However, the thought had barely formed in her mind when she saw Zhao Qian walk in, a grin on his face.
He said respectfully, “Second Miss, Master is worried about leaving you here alone, so he specially sent me to relieve your boredom.”
Lu Liangwei nodded. “I’m grateful for His Majesty’s care.”
Zhao Qian glanced at her. Seeing her calm and emotionless face, he said, “Master will come over in a while after he’s finished with work.”
Lu Liangwei was a little surprised to hear this.
Long Yang still wanted to come?
‘Wasn’t he supposed to be busy with work? How come he had so much free time?’
Lu Liangwei furrowed her brow.
It seemed that she would not be able to leave this place today.
After Lu Liangwei had finished her meal, Zhao Qian suggested, “The peaches in the orchard are already ripe. Do you want to go and take a look, Second Miss?”
He still remembered what Lu Tingchen had said. Among all the fruits, Second Miss Lu only preferred peaches.
However, Lu Liangwei shook her head. “No, I want to take a walk to the hill at the back.” She loved peaches, but she would still get sick of them if she ate them all the time, and it was not good to eat too many.
Zhao Qian was startled, then he thought of something and asked with a smile, “Do you want to go fishing, Second Miss?”
“No, I just want to walk.” Lu Liangwei smiled. She found Zhao Qian too hospitable, but it was not difficult for her to imagine the intent behind his hospitality.
She sighed secretly.
Since she could not refuse, she could only accept.
Lu Liangwei strolled around the back hill and discovered that the imperial holiday home covered an area so large that the Lu family holiday home simply could not match up to it.
This was not the only imperial holiday home in the capital suburbs, but it was Long Yang’s favorite.
Lu Liangwei could not help climbing up the hill out of boredom.
Seeing this, Zhao Qian did not dare to dawdle and hurriedly followed.
Zhao Qian was surprised to see how effortlessly the young girl was walking in front of him.
He did not expect the dainty Second Miss Lu to have such physical strength. No wonder she dared to go to Sacred Hillock Peak alone that time.
After taking a stroll on the hill, Lu Liangwei managed to collect a lot of herbs.
These herbs were common, but still very useful.
When the two of them descended the hill, they saw a man walking toward them from a distance. He walked with big strides but did not seem agitated at all. On the contrary, he exuded a sense of calmness and grace.
Lu Liangwei stopped.
Zhao Qian had also spotted him, and he said joyfully, “Master is here.”
Long Yang wore an ink-colored robe today, which contrasted the fairness of his skin, making him appear even fairer.
However, despite his light complexion, he did not appear fragile in the slightest and radiated a dignified and intimidating aura instead.
If not for his powerful aura, he would have given off an illusion of gentleness from a distance.
Lu Liangwei stood at the foot of the hill and gazed at him quietly.
It did not take long for Long Yang to reach them.
When he saw Lu Liangwei, there was an unconcealable delight in his eyes. “You went up the hill?”
