Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Naturally, Long Chi was unaware of his wife’s schemes.

All he knew was that he had completely let himself go that night. When he got up to go to court the next day, his whole body felt limp, and there were dark circles under his eyes. On the other hand, although Lu Yunshuang also did not get much sleep last night, she looked refreshed and glowing.

When Long Yang saw Long Chi’s tired face and dark circles in court, he asked in concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Remembering the wild night he had, Long Chi was a little embarrassed. “I’m fine, Uncle.”

Long Yang stared at the darkness under his eyes for a moment, then said, “Have the state affairs you’re handling been a bit too much for you these days?”

Realizing that Long Yang had not associated it with bedroom affairs at all, Long Chi’s eyes glinted.

It seemed that his uncle was really clueless about sex between men and women.

For some reason, he felt a sense of superiority welling inside him.

No matter how brilliant his uncle was at governing the state, he was not a complete man after all.

“Don’t worry, Uncle. It’s nothing I can’t handle.”

Hearing this, Long Yang raised his eyebrows. “Good to hear.”

After court was over, Lu Hetian emerged from the hall. Several officials accompanying him were saying, “You really sired an exceptional daughter, Grand Duke.”

Lu Hetian stopped in his tracks and looked at them with a frown. “What do you mean?”

Another official winked and said, “My Duke, didn’t you see how tired the Crown Prince was in court? You can tell at first glance that he got wrung dry. The Crown Princess is currently the only woman in the Eastern Palace. If there are more in the future, the Prince might not be able to handle them.”

The other officials immediately nodded in agreement. “The Crown Princess must be so skillful that she can wear the Prince out to such an extent.”

When Lu Hetian finally understood what they meant, his handsome face turned green with rage, and he thundered, “You bastards. You are important officials in the court. How dare you gossip about the Crown Prince’s private affairs like a bunch of tattling women in the market? Do you want me to report all of you?”

The officials instantly became a little indignant at his words. “No need to get angry, Duke. We’re just stating facts.”

After saying that, they immediately dispersed. At the end of the day, they were still in awe of Lu Hetian’s power and prestige.

However, Lu Hetian was furious.

At this moment, Ji Qingyuan walked over. Noticing Lu Hetian’s livid expression, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, “They’re just a bunch of gossip mongers; no need to waste your anger on them.”

Lu Hetian slapped his hand away and retorted sulkily, “You sure know how to talk. If those people were talking about your daughter, would you let things go so easily?”

Ji Qingyuan’s expression turned a little strange, and he got closer to him and said, “How can the Crown Prince be compared to the Emperor? You also know that the imperial harem is pretty much nonexistent. My daughter is still a virgin to this day.”

Lu Hetian frowned at him. “How do you know?”

Ji Qingyuan sighed. “Linghui has been in the palace for many years, but I still haven’t received any news from her. It’s not just her; nothing’s happened to the other consorts either. The court has long been secretly gossiping about whether the Emperor is… ahem, you know. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have appointed Long Chi as Crown Prince.”

After saying that, he became a little troubled. “His Majesty is a wise ruler that is hard to come by. Personally, I hope that he will be in good health so that the Great Shang Kingdom can prosper even more.”

Lu Hetian also fell silent. After a moment, he looked at Ji Qingyuan and said, “Are you not optimistic about the Crown Prince?”

Ji Qingyuan retorted, “You’re the Crown Prince’s father-in-law. Isn’t it inappropriate to ask me that?”

Lu Hetian did not intend to hide his thoughts from him. “To be honest, if I could, I wouldn’t allow any daughter of the Lu family to enter the Eastern Palace.”
