However, this also reminded Long Yang that he needed to assign personal guards to his three children.

Although they were still young, they would grow up one day and go out alone, so it was important that he trained a few personal guards for their sake.

Long Yang decided to leave this matter to Chu Qi.

…

Winter melted into spring, and soon, it was Lu Tingchen and Chu Jiu\'s wedding.

A day before the wedding, the Emperor and Empress visited the Grand Duke Mansion with their three children.

Lu Liangwei and Long Yang had just settled down in Dusklight Court when Zhu Yu came in with an unreadable expression.

"What\'s wrong?" asked Lu Liangwei.

"The Duke Ji Family\'s here," said Zhu Yu.

The two families were considered neighbors, so it was normal for them to visit each other every so often, and with Lu Tingchen\'s wedding coming up, it was expected of the Duke Ji Family to offer some sort of help. However, Zhu Yu was obviously hinting at something else.

Remembering the troublesome Ji sisters, Lu Liangwei raised an eyebrow. "What\'re they doing here?"

"Ji Linghui\'s the one visiting," Zhu Yu whispered, casting a glance at the Emperor reading on the soft bed with the Prince in his lap.

Lu Liangwei was not too surprised to hear this. "What does she want?"

"She said she is here to congratulate the Heir Presumptive, then she went to Longevity Hall with Ji Lingxiu." Zhu Yu replied, and after a pause, she said scornfully, "I bet they\'re up to no good."

"Is Duke Ji here too?" asked Lu Liangwei.

"No." Zhu Yu shook her head. "Just the Ji sisters. Ji Linghui\'s in a wheelchair; Ji Lingxiu brought her here."

"How\'s Ji Linghui\'s mental state?" Lu Liangwei wanted to know.

"She\'s pretty thin, but she seems to be in good spirits," Zhu Yu stated her observation.

"I see. Don\'t mind them." Lu Liangwei had no intention of going there. With her grandmother and mother around, Ji Linghui had no chance of accomplishing whatever purpose she had in mind.

Long Yang was reading a book with Long Yin in his lap, while Ji\'er and Yaoyao were playing on the soft bed.

Now, at eight months old, the children were already capable of sitting and crawling.

Having grown bored with her toy, Ji\'er tilted her head and watched her brother, who was sitting in their father\'s lap for a moment. All of a sudden, she crawled over to them and tried to pull the book from Long Yang\'s grasp.

Yaoyao had gotten bored with her toy as well. Chucking it aside, she crawled to the low table nearby and stretched her tiny arm out to reach for the cakes on top.

This was what Lu Liangwei saw when she came over.

She picked Yaoyao up and tapped her on the nose. "Are you hungry again, you greedy kitty?"

Yaoyao pointed at the dainty cakes on the table and whined, making it clear that she wanted to eat them.

Lu Liangwei held her small hand up to her face and took the opportunity to educate her. "But we have to wash our hands before eating. We can only eat with clean hands."

Although her toys had already been cleaned, Lu Liangwei wanted her to start developing good hygiene habits from a young age.

When Lu Liangwei returned from the bathroom after helping Yaoyao wash her hands, Ji\'er had already clambered onto Long Yang\'s lap and successfully snatched the book out of his hands.

Since the book was gone, Long Yin crawled off Long Yang\'s thigh.

Even though he could not speak yet, he remembered every character Long Yang taught him.

Moreover, Long Yang often read to him, so Long Yin was far more precocious than most children his age.

Instead of throwing a tantrum after having his book stolen by his sister, he started playing with toy bricks quietly on the bed.

Lu Liangwei had commissioned a craftsman to produce those toy bricks based on modern jigsaw puzzles.

All three children loved playing with them, and Long Yin was especially adept.

It was not long before he built a house out of the toy bricks.
