She stared at him and suddenly circled her arms around his neck. She reached forward to kiss him on the lips. “Your loyal wife thanks His Majesty for his graciousness!”
Long Yang raised an eyebrow. “Is that it?”
Lu Liangwei pondered and replied solemnly, “Of course. If Your Majesty would only have me as your woman for the rest of your life, I will repay you the same and only have Your Majesty as my man for the rest of my life.” She spoke from her heart.
Long Yang did not feel happy at all when he heard what she said. Instead, anger appeared on his face. His hand pinched her chin. “You are my woman. No matter what happens, you can only have me as your man for the rest of your life, understand?”
Lu Liangwei pursed her lips with disapproval and could not help but responded coldly. “Should I stay loyal to you alone if Your Majesty breaks your royal promise? If Your Majesty have such a thought, it would be unfair to me. I won’t be able to do as you instruct!”
She paused and reminded him, “Your Majesty, you’re much older than I am. If you cheat on me, I can still remarry once you’re gone. Of course, if you love only me and do not have another woman, I promise you I will continue to stay loyal to you even if you pass before me. Otherwise… I think you understand.”
The green vein on Long Yang’s temple throbbed. He had never expected this girl to say something so shocking.
He could not say anything for quite a while as he got to know a new side of her today.
She looked like an obedient girl, but in fact, she was rebellious to the core and had the daring notion that women in this period would not even dare think about.
Her solemn manner revealed her stand. The words she had just uttered were not just said for fun. She would do whatever she said.
If he gave her an unhappy life, she would be sure to retaliate, just like…
He sighed helplessly.
This girl was a wild kitty cat, the kind that had sharp claws.
She may look pretty and harmless, but her claws were razor-sharp.
He suddenly felt strongly that maybe women should not be overpampered, otherwise, they would go to the extend of tearing one’s roof apart.
Only this girl would say something so treacherous.
Should he describe her as someone courageous, or someone who gave him disregard just because he spoilt her?
After calming down the rage burning within him, all that was left in his heart was a sense of helplessness.
Even though what she had just said sounded terrible, it was the truth.
It was true that he was much older than her, but it was still difficult to say that he would be the one who would pass first.
After Lu Liangwei made her ‘courageous declaration’, she did not feel relaxed like how she was behaving. She clenched tight on his fingers at the corner of his sleeve, revealing the slight insecurity she was feeling.
No matter how well the man in front of her had treated her, he was still an Emperor.
Would an Emperor who had the world under his control be tolerant with her provocation?
Lu Liangwei had no idea.
However, the words she had said were not out of rashness. She did not say them just because he doted on her. It was truly how she felt.
It could be because she was greedy.
She was now the sole owner of the pure Emperor. She did not want to share him with another woman, which was why she had expressed her true feelings in that moment of passion.
If he was not able to accept it, she would do her duty and be his Empress without thinking much anymore.
However, seeing that he remained silent for quite a while after she had voiced her declaration, and only stared at her with an unfathomable look in his eyes, she felt even more nervous.
How was he planning to punish this brazen Empress who did not understand she should fear him and ended up disrespecting him?
Would it be just like how the television dramas played out where the Emperor would strip her of the Empress title in a rage and send her to the Cold Palace?
If that were to happen, she would probably be the first in history to be stripped of her title by the order of the Emperor on the first day she became the Empress.
