Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

mily’s daughter.

However, anyone could see the sadness in her eyes with just a glance, despite her efforts to conceal it.

Lu Liangwei paused and put down her chopsticks.

Seeing that she was not touching her chopsticks anymore, the Virtuous Consort ordered the servants to remove the dishes and serve tea and snacks once again.

Then, she took a beautiful box from her trusted maidservant and held Lu Liangwei’s hand, saying affectionately, “The moment I saw you, Second Miss Lu, I knew that we’d hit it off.
Here’s a small gift I prepared for you; I hope you’ll like it.” As she spoke, she stuffed the box into Lu Liangwei’s hands.

Lu Liangwei did not decline.
“Your gifts are naturally wonderful, Your Highness.
Thank you for the reward.” Her tone was sincere, but she did not get up.

The Virtuous Consort smiled kindly.
“Don’t see it as a reward.
I already said that this is just a small token of friendship from me.
I’m happy as long as you like it.” Despite her words, she felt slightly upset.

Lu Liangwei had yet to become Empress, but she was already acting like one.
Nevertheless, she was the Emperor’s appointed Empress.
It did not matter if they were not officially married yet; the girl naturally did not have to curtsy and thank her.

Lu Liangwei pretended not to see the discontent in her eyes.

Long Yang said that she did not need to mind anyone.
She rarely curtsied even in front of him, so there was no reason she should break her principles when facing the Virtuous Consort.

Anyway, she would be the Empress and Long Yang’s principal wife in the future.
These consorts of his would have to play up to her to survive.

However, despite thinking that way, she felt somewhat dissatisfied inside.

Although she no longer rejected being Long Yang’s Empress, she still felt a little uncomfortable accepting his imperial harem.

Thinking of this, she opened the box and glanced at the pair of translucent jasper bracelets inside.
She could tell that they were valuable, and she passed them to Zhu Yu behind her.
“Keep the Virtuous Consort’s gift carefully.”
