806: Wanyan Jin Is Interested In My Father?

Wanyan Jin Is Interested In My Father?

Lu Liangwei was now four months pregnant and her belly had grown a slight bump. The weather was getting colder by the day and Long Yang was worried she would freeze. He insisted that she covered herself with many layers, which caused her to look swollen every day due to her dressing.2

However, this was mostly her own exaggeration; she was skinny and did not look swollen even if she had put on quite a few extra layers.

That said, pregnant women were known to be unreasonable.

When Long Yang saw that his little Empress was unhappy, he pursed his lips and said seriously, "This is my fault."

Lu Liangwei grunted. "It was your fault from the start."

Long Yang did not argue with her as he carried her into the room.

Once they were inside, Lu Liangwei got out of his arms and immediately took the handwarmer from Zhu Yu to clutch in her arms.

Long Yang wrapped his arms around Lu Liangwei and sat down on the warm bed after taking off his fur overcoat and passing it to Zhu Yu.

Lu Liangwei remembered something and asked, "By the way, when will my father be arriving?"

Great Shang was in battle with Danjue, but they had ended it quickly, the fastest record in history.

This had been largely thanks to the chili medicine ball created by Lu Liangwei, as well as the medicinal substance that caused the enemy horses to go crazy upon sniffing it.

Rumor had it that on the day the Danjue cavalry battled Great Shang, all of their horses suddenly went berserk, which spooked the Danjue cavalry greatly, thinking that their horses were possessed. In one fateful moment, they had descended into chaos.

The next time they engaged in battle, Danjue came at them with a fierce attack, planning to invade Great Shang on a large scale. However, they were greeted by the sight of the Great Shang soldiers covering their faces with a piece of cloth. Before they had the chance to cross swords, Danjue went into a panic when the Great Shang soldiers suddenly threw something at their cavalry, causing most of them to fall.

They were unaware that most of the soldiers of Great Shang who went into battle were equipped with a chili medicine ball.

The Danjue cavalry was forced into a frightened retreat. With no way of going up against the unknown experiences, in the end, they chose to surrender.

Almost none of Great Shang's soldiers were injured, and they had captured many prisoners of war from Danjue.

Wanyan Jin had even submitted a letter of surrender, declaring that they were willing to be officials of Great Shang and pay tribute.

Lu Hetian's next return to the capital would be to report what had transpired and to also escort the Danjue ambassadors to Great Shang to discuss matters regarding their submission.

"He will probably be back within a few days," Long Yang replied, keeping the information vague.

Once Zhu Yu left them alone, he placed his hand intimately onto Lu Liangwei's belly.

By now, Lu Liangwei was used to this action of his.

Since the first time she felt the baby move, His Majesty would always place his hand on her belly.

As she looked at the man's handsome and upright face, Lu Liangwei felt that he would be a good father in the future.

"I hope Father can be here before the New Year," she suddenly felt a little worried as she heard the cold wind and snow blowing louder by the minute.

Long Yang noticed this and tried to soothe her. "Don't worry. Judging by his schedule, he should be here on time."

Lu Liangwei looked at his confident expression and could not help but ask again, "Is Wanyan Jin really willing to surrender to Great Shang? He wouldn't be cooking up some scheme, would he?"

Wanyan Jin was not some simple character who would surrender so easily. Moreover, he stated conditions of needing to pay tribute to Great Shang.

She felt unsettled by this.

Long Yang paused.

"I received the letter of credence sent by Wanyan Jin. He means to unite both countries by marriage," he said suddenly.

"Unite both countries by marriage?" Lu Liangwei frowned.

"Who does he plan to do this with? Is there an unmarried princess in the imperial family?"

"He is set on your father," Long Yang suddenly said playfully.

Lu Liangwei's mind suddenly went blank as she grabbed his sleeve. She said with disbelief, "Wanyan Jin is interested in my father? Does he like men?"

Long Yang was taken aback and he suddenly laughed out loud. "Weiwei, why would you think that?"

Lu Liangwei blinked. "You said it just now."

Long Yang stopped laughing. "What I meant to say was that Wanyan Jin's sister has set her eyes on your father. She has even followed him back to Great Shang."

"What?" Lu Liangwei suddenly raised her voice.

Long Yang rubbed her head and consoled her, "Don't be so quick to feel anxious. I haven't agreed yet, right?"
