1509 Cradle Willing To Be Robbed

Lu Liangwei knew what was going through his mind. She said with an arched eyebrow, “I think Lil Qi will be a good son-in-law. He is a good match for Ji’er. If they are suited for each other and have mutual feelings, I have no qualms about their relationship.” As for His Majesty’s speech about making things difficult for Lil Qi, it meant nothing as he would still agree to it in the end. Lil Qi was a trustworthy person and Ji’er had feelings for him. Even if His Majesty tried to put a stop to their relationship, what good would it do?

She would not have agreed so easily if this was some other person, but Lil Qi was not a random man.

If she had to pick a husband for Ji’er, Lu Liangwei would be even more careful. Even if they were cautious when looking for a candidate, that person’s background would still not be as clear-cut as Lil Qi, whom they knew inside out.

Even though Weiwei was right, he still felt that she had agreed too readily.

It was true that he had watched Lil Qi grow up and he trusted Lil Qi’s personality and character as he knew everything about him. However, Lil Qi was asking for his daughter’s hand in marriage. How could he agree so easily?

Back when he wanted to marry Weiwei, he had to go through so much. The Dowager Duchess even used the golden sword bestowed on her by the late Emperor in order to stop Long Yang from having Weiwei.

By right, Lil Qi could not compare to him and Weiwei should be doing everything she could to stop Lil Qi from marrying Ji’er. However, this woman had agreed so easily and it felt like Long Yang’s threats were going nowhere. He had thought up so many things to make it harder for Lil Qi, but he was not able to express them now.

He actually had more terrible words prepared for Lil Qi.

However, Long Yang sighed after a while and said helplessly to Lu Liangwei, “What more can I say now that you have approved of it?”

A smile appeared on Lu Liangwei’s face. “You are indeed wise, Your Majesty.”

Zhao Qian, who was standing at the side, took the opportunity to say to Chu Qi, “Hurry up and thank His Majesty and Her Highness, Lil Qi.”

Delight flashed in Chu Qi’s cold eyes. He kowtowed seriously at the Emperor and Empress. “Thank you for your blessings, Your Majesty and Your Highness. I swear that I will never let Ji’er down and I will treat her well for the rest of her life. I won’t disappoint both of you.”

“You may stand.” Lu Liangwei gestured with her hand.

Long Yin helped Chu Qi up and took the opportunity to size him up.

He wondered what Ji’er did to get Lil Qi to accept her and even take the initiative to ask for her hand in marriage from their parents. She had only been to the general’s mansion for a few days.

Chu Qi was taken aback when he noticed Long Yin sizing him up and he gave the boy a questioning look.

Long Yin shook his head to indicate it was nothing.

Lu Liangwei felt slightly melancholic to see Chu Qi becoming her future son-in-law when he was only one year younger than she was, and she suddenly understood how her mother felt all those years ago.

This was robbing the cradle!

However, the cradle named Ji’er was willing to be robbed by him.

“Lil Qi, even though His Majesty and I are allowing you to marry Ji’er, she would only be fifteen on the sixth month of the Lunar calendar this year. You are not allowed to talk about marriage before her coming-of-age ceremony. Everything will need to wait until Ji’er has completed the ceremony,” Lu Liangwei said.

Chu Qi nodded. “I understand.”

“Good.” Lu Liangwei was relieved and she looked at Long Yang, indicating for him to say something.

Long Yang darted a look at Chu Qi. Everything was wonderful about Chu Qi before he coveted his daughter. Now that Chu Qi had his eyes on his daughter, everything about Chu Qi seemed to be not good enough.

“Now that we are done with the Lunar New Year celebration, I have to remind you that the West Water Frontier can’t be without its general. Pack up in two days and return to the West Water Frontier.”

Even a dumb person could tell he was kicking Chu Qi out. Everyone else present was smart enough and naturally knew what Long Yang was trying to do.
