Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

What they didn't know was that the Crown Princess was worried about Li Chu, so she sent Nanny Xu to come out quietly to check on Li Chu.

As a result, when passing by the garden, he saw Feng Shengyi guarding the rockery in the distance, but did not see Li Chu.

So Aunt Xu walked forward quickly. Feng Shengyi saw that it was Aunt Xu and deliberately raised her voice to ask, "Aunt Xu, why are you here? What did the Crown Princess say?"

At this time, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao had just separated, and the blush on Dugu Jingyao's face had not yet faded when she heard the voice of Aunt Xu.

But Dugu Jingyao had lived two lives after all, and the two of them were not having an affair, so there was naturally nothing to be afraid of.

Li Chu was only stunned for a moment, because he was afraid that Aunt Xu would think Jingyao was frivolous. If she reported it to his mother, would her impression of Jingyao be greatly reduced?

So after Li Chu came back to his senses, he lowered his voice and said, "Jingyao, Aunt Xu is here. I guess my mother is worried about me, so she sent Aunt Xu out to check on me. How about this, I'll go out first, and you can go out after we're far away."

Li Chu arranged it on his own. Dugu Jingyao had no objection to Li Chu's proposal, so she nodded slightly and said "hmm" to express her agreement.

Just like that, Li Chu reluctantly let go of Dugu Jingyao's hand and quickly walked out of the rockery.

Li Chu pretended nothing had happened. He walked out of the rockery and saw Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt Xu, why are you here? What do you want from my mother?"

When Aunt Xu saw Li Chu come out, she stretched her head and looked inside for a long time. Li Chu was afraid that Aunt Xu would find out that Dugu Jingyao was also there, so he stood in front of Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt Xu, what are you looking at?"

Nanny Xu looked for a long time but didn't see anything. She came to her senses and bowed to Li Chu: "Nothing, it's just that the queen was worried that you were drunk, so she asked this servant to come and take a look."

Li Chu turned around to face Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt, look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Aunt Xu wanted to look back again, but Li Chu said, "I just came out to get some fresh air. I'll let Feng Shengyi wait here. Since mother is worried, let's go back!"

However, what Li Chu did not expect was that Dugu Jingyao walked from the other side of the rockery. Although Dugu Jingyao left after hearing the sound of them leaving, the other side was closer to Zhaoyang Palace, so Dugu Jingyao actually returned earlier than them.

Fortunately, they went back one after the other and did not meet on the way, so no one suspected anything.

There was another round of drinking and the banquet ended around three quarters after that.

Although Dugu Xin could usually drink a lot, he couldn't resist the fact that his Yao'er was recognized by the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess today. In addition, the Crown Prince had mentioned at the banquet that he liked Yao'er and that it would be great if his son could marry her as his daughter-in-law. So he drank a few more glasses. Although he drank better than the others, he was still dizzy and was carried to the car by the eunuchs.

The Crown Prince was naturally helped back to his bedroom by the Crown Princess. Marquis Zhennan and Chu Xingchen were drunk and were helped into the carriage by several eunuchs. The Marquis's wife, Wei Jiayan, followed behind with disdain.

Li Chu was naturally brought back by Feng Shengyi, but fortunately, in order to deal with the drinking pressure from his future father-in-law, Li Chu practiced his drinking capacity in addition to investigating the case after returning, so he did not get drunk and unconscious today.

At this moment, Li Chu felt that he had made the right choice and practiced his drinking capacity in advance, otherwise he would have been drunk today.

Fortunately, after returning to their residence, they were each given a bowl of sobering soup, so they didn't have a headache the next day. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Although the Crown Prince had drunk quite a bit of wine, after returning to his bedroom and drinking some sobering soup, he still kept talking to the Crown Princess, saying, "Dugu Jingyao is a good girl, and a perfect match for our Chu'er."

Although the prince was drunk, he spoke the truth after drinking! It was enough to see how satisfied he was with Dugu Jingyao.

So the Crown Princess also agreed: "Your Highness is absolutely right. Jingyao and I are a perfect match, with both talent and beauty, and our family backgrounds are well matched. It is simply a match made in heaven."

The Crown Prince nodded, took the Crown Princess's hand and said, "Well, what Jia Wan said makes a lot of sense. We can talk to the Emperor about it when we have the chance. The Emperor loves Chu'er so much, he will definitely agree! Or maybe we can ask the Emperor to grant Chu'er and Jingyao a marriage."

As the prince spoke, his voice gradually weakened, and soon the sound of his even breathing could be heard.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She also felt that what the Crown Prince said made sense. It would be even better if the Emperor could grant them a marriage! However, the Crown Prince was just drunken talk. I wonder if he would remember it when he wakes up tomorrow.

He looked at the prince on the bed again, tucked in the quilt for him, got into bed himself, and soon fell asleep.
