1707 Butler Zhao Gave Me Some Books Of Leisure
Hexin’s panic and discomfort from her first menstruation gradually went away as she listened to Lu Liangwei’s gentle voice.
“Alright.”
“Everything is fine. There’s no need to panic. Every girl goes through this. Having your first menstruation means that you’ve grown up.” Lu Liangwei comforted her patiently.
“Thank you, Aunt Liangwei.” Hexin listened seriously and thanked her obediently at the end.
“There is no need to be so formal, silly girl.” Lu Liangwei glanced at her coyly and rubbed her head, then she led Hexin into the inner hall.
“Clean yourself up in the bathroom. I’ll get someone to bring you a clean set of clothes.”
“Yes, Aunt Liangwei.” Hexin went to the bathroom obediently.
Long Yin stood outside the hall for quite a while. When he saw his mother walk out, he asked, “Is Hexin alright?”
Lu Liangwei glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, she instructed the servants, “Go to the Second Princess’s bedchamber and grab a set of Lady Hexin’s dress.”
The servants left to do as instructed.
It was only then that Lu Liangwei turned to size up her tall, grown-up son.
Long Yin felt a little awkward with his mother staring at him this way. “Why are you looking at me like that, Mother?”
“Sigh. I didn’t realize it before, but you’re all grown up now,” Lu Liangwei said emotionally.
At the age of fifteen in modern times, he would have just graduated from junior high school. However, this was an older era, which meant that he was already of marrying age.
Her Yin’er was now able to take up the responsibility of governing an entire country.
Long Yin did not understand why his mother was suddenly so emotional and said, “You still haven’t told me what’s wrong with Hexin.”
“Don’t you know, my son?” Lu Liangwei asked.
“What am I supposed to know?” Long Yin looked at her questioningly.
When Lu Liangwei saw the blank look on his face, she realized he really did not know about this. She felt she had deeply failed to educate her son about human anatomy.
She did not think it was a bad thing to talk to her son about this. It would be better if he understood the mechanics of the human body early rather than not knowing a thing about it.
“Actually, Hexin wasn’t hurt at all.”
“Then, why did she bleed so much? Where did the blood come from?” Long Yin frowned. He had no idea about her condition but it was clear that Hexin had been scared to the point of tears.
“When a girl is grown up, she will experience something every month called menstruation,” Lu Liangwei explained.
“Menstruation?” The words triggered a thought in Long Yin and a thin veil of red appeared on his handsome face.
Lu Liangwei looked closely at him when she noticed this. Her son was not that ignorant, after all.
“You know about this?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Butler Zhao gave me some books of leisure.” Long Yin had no choice but to betray Zhao Qian under his mother’s forceful stare.
The corner of Lu Liangwei’s lips twitched when she heard this.
She suddenly felt that Zhao Qian played the role of a matronly mother very well.
He used to fret over His Majesty, Chu Yi, and Chu Qi over such matters. Now, he had begun to direct his worry to the younger ones like Long Yin.
However, with Zhao Qian looking after them, Lu Liangwei felt more relieved when it came to these sensitive matters.
“Stop reading those nonsensical books too much. They will impact you negatively,” Lu Liangwei advised. “It’s good enough that you know what it is.”
Long Yin was slightly embarrassed. “I understand, Mother.” He did not really delve too deep into those books. Zhao Qian was the one who insisted he took them. However, he would flip through them when he was feeling bored, which gave him a rough idea of what went on between a man and a woman.
When he suddenly spotted the bloodstain on Hexin’s dress, it had not occurred to him what it was. However, he quickly understood when his mother mentioned it.
Lu Liangwei was listless about almost everything after what happened to Ji’er, but as she watched her grown-up son and thought about the obedient and understanding Hexin, her interest was suddenly piqued. She asked, “Yin’er, what type of girl do you like?”
