Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1290 His Majesty Clearly Doted On Ji’er More

Lu Liangwei turned to look at her.

She guessed that this must be the hunter’s wife.
She quickly got up and grasped her hand, saying sincerely, “Thank you, both of you, for saving them.”

When she entered the bedchamber, Lu Liangwei had been too busy telling the children how much she missed them that she had forgotten to express her gratitude to the hunter’s wife.

It was so impolite of her!

The hunter’s wife was delightfully surprised.

She had never expected Lu Liangwei to be so friendly.

“His Majesty has already thanked us previously.
There is no need for you to thank us again, Your Highness.
Moreover, we didn’t do much.
Lil Qi and Princess Ji’er were blessed with good fortune from the heavens, which was why they are safe and sound.”

Lu Liangwei shook her head.
“No.
I’ve heard His Majesty talk about this.
If they hadn’t been lucky enough to meet you and your husband, they would have…” Fear crept into her heart at the thought of Thousand Feet Cliff.
“To put it simply, I am very grateful to both of you.
It’s thanks to you two for not giving up on them, and your willingness to travel all the way to the imperial capital to care for our daughter.
Both you and your husband are practically parents to Ji’er too.”

“You’re much too kind, Your Highness.
We wouldn’t dare to think so,” the hunter’s wife replied humbly.
It was as though she deemed herself unworthy of this praise.

The two women got along quite well as they chatted for a lengthy time.

Even though the hunter’s wife had lived deep in the mountains for many years, she understood her position well and was very efficient with her work.

She was the one who had taken full charge of caring for Chu Qi and Ji’er lately.

The hunter’s wife had looked after them very well.

Lu Liangwei’s gratitude for her deepened because of this.

During their conversation, Lu Liangwei learned that the hunter’s wife’s surname was Chang and that she was past thirty this year, though she had no children of her own.
Lu Liangwei decided to call her Big Sis Chang.

They had chatted away half the day and, when she saw Ji’er still had not woken up, Lu Liangwei stood up and said, “Big Sis Chang, I’ve enjoyed our talk today.
I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Ji’er and Lil Qi here.
I’ll visit you again tomorrow.”

“You’re much too kind, Your Highness.
Taking care of Ji’er and Lil Qi is my responsibility.
You’ve had an exhausting day, Your Highness.
You should quickly go get some rest.
Princess Ji’er has me and Lil Qi to look after her.
You don’t need to worry,” Chang said with a smile as she got up as well.

“Alright.” Lu Liangwei nodded and then went to the bed to watch her sleeping daughter quietly before finally leaving the side hall.

Long Yang had already left while she and Chang were chatting.

By the time she returned to the bedchamber, the sky had already turned dark.

Zhu Yu had set their dinner on the table while waiting for her return.

Long Yang was currently reading on the soft bed and, when he saw her return, he tossed the book to the side and got up to approach her.
