1444 Father, Don’t Let Your Hands Go Weak

Ji’er turned to her mother’s arms and sobbed softly while hugging Lu Liangwei, but did not say anything.

She did listen to some of Long Yang’s advice, but she was still young, after all, and still could not really accept the reality of Lil Qi about to leave her.

Lil Qi had been guarding by her side since young, except for the one year when he was quelling the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang.

It pained Lu Liangwei a lot to see her youngest daughter looking so sad. She hugged Ji’er tight in her arms and looked at Long Yang to ask, “Is Lil Qi really…moving out from the Palace?”

“Yes.” Long Yang nodded. He did not know what to do when he saw how upset his youngest daughter was.

He could give her the best things in this world, but when it came to Lil Qi, he could not make her wish come true.

If Lil Qi was a woman, it would have been easier. He could decree for Lil Qi to stay by Ji’er’s side forever. However, Lil Qi was a man. Moreover, he was a grown man. Ji’er was all grown up now and if she was still so dependent on him and kept Lil Qi by her side, it would not be a good thing for her. Her reputation would also be affected as time went by.

Lil Qi must have thought of this as well, which was why he was adamant about leaving the Palace despite Ji’er’s sadness.

Lu Liangwei did not say anything else when she heard this. She pulled Ji’er and made her sit down as she poured a cup of water for Ji’er.

Ji’er drank the water and after she calmed down, Lu Liangwei said softly, “Is Ji’er feeling sad because Lil Qi is leaving the Palace?”

Ji’er bit her lip and nodded slightly.

“Silly girl. Are you feeling sad over such a little thing? Lil Qi is leaving the Palace, not you. Once he has settled everything out there, you can still go and see him.” Lu Liangwei comforted her gently.

Yaoyao immediately nodded in agreement. “Mother is right. Big Bro Lil Qi might have moved away, but we can still go and see him.”

Lu Liangwei smiled and rubbed Ji’er’s head.

Ji’er was taken aback. Why did this not occur to her?

Lu Liangwei continued, “Lil Qi treats you so well, which means you must treat him well in return, understand? You can’t keep him locked up in the Palace.”

Ji’er frowned and said, “But if Lil Qi got married and had children, he will become distant from me and forget about me. He won’t like me anymore…”

Lu Liangwei hugged her sadly. “This would never happen. Lil Qi would never forget about you, and he would never stop liking you. However, it is always best that you keep a suitable distance from others. Besides, Lil Qi isn’t the only one you have. You still have your father, me, your big brother, and your big sister. All of us like you very much and will always be by your side. Even if Lil Qi leaves you, your father and I would never leave you. You are our little princess.”

The frustration Ji’er felt slowly disappeared when she heard her mother’s gentle voice. She felt a little ashamed instead.

Her mother was right. She had parents who loved her and there was still her big brother and big sister.

Even though Lil Qi had left and she felt sad about it, her mood improved slightly after hearing her mother’s words.

It took quite a while before she finally nodded and said obediently, “I’ll listen to you, Mother.”

“Good girl!” Lu Liangwei rubbed her head.

Yaoyao said a little jealously, “Father and Mother are the most biased. They have always doted on you since young. It feels like Big Brother and I were picked up by them from the roadside. What else could you still be unhappy about, Ji’er?”

Long Yang, “…”

Lu Liangwei, “…”

Long Yang went to her and suddenly picked Yaoyao up. “You ungrateful little thing. How dare you say your mother and I are biased?”

Yaoyao screamed in fright at being suddenly carried up high. She quickly hugged Long Yang’s arm and begged, “Don’t be mad, Father. I was just kidding. Please make sure your hands don’t go weak…”
