Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chu Xinghan looked at the drunk Chu Xingchen and felt extremely regretful. He really shouldn't have let Chu Xingchen drink. Thinking that Chu Xingchen might be seen drunk by his father, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is over! If my father finds out that Xingchen has been drinking, he will definitely be punished!"

However, just when he felt desperate, he suddenly remembered that today was the day his father would report to the palace, and perhaps he would even have dinner in the East Palace that evening. He secretly congratulated himself for remembering this, as it might help him avoid punishment.

Li Chu also felt that Chu Xinghan was right, so he suggested: "In that case, why don't we buy some more wine and bring it back for them to taste. Perhaps this will reduce your guilt."

Chu Xinghan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he thought this was a very good idea. He said happily, "Cousin, you are so smart! Then let's go buy a few more pots of wine and bring them back for Father and Uncle Dugu to taste."

After Chu Xinghan finished speaking, he turned to Zhan Ying and said, "Go ask the waiter to pack us two pots of peach blossom wine and two pots of osmanthus wine..."

Zhan Ying responded and turned to leave. A moment later, he returned with the packed wine. Chu Xinghan then helped Chu Xingchen, who had passed out drunk on the table, to his back.

However, Zhan Ying hurried forward, stopped Chu Xinghan, and said respectfully: "Young Master, you are of noble status, how can you do such rough work? Let your subordinates carry the second young master!" As he said, he took Chu Xingchen from Chu Xinghan's hands and gently placed him on his broad back.

Chu Xinghan then realized, yes, there is also a follower named Zhan Ying! He patted his forehead, secretly annoyed in his heart, why is he so stupid! However, since Zhan Ying is helping, there is no need to work hard on his own. Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the group walked out of the private room. Zhan Ying, carrying someone on his back, attracted quite a bit of attention. Chu Xinghan felt extremely embarrassed, a faint blush forming on his face. He lowered his head, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into. Li Chu, on the other hand, appeared relatively calm, walking with his head held high, seemingly unconcerned with the gazes of those around him.

Under the gaze of the crowd, they left Tianxiang Tower and boarded the carriage back to the palace...

Along the way, Chu Xinghan was furious as he looked at Chu Xingchen lying on his lap, muttering, "I don't know who this cup should belong to. I think even Yu'er can drink more than him!"

Li Chu seemed to have thought of something, so he smiled lightly and said in a light tone: "I think it's inherited from my uncle. I remember that my uncle would get drunk after drinking one glass of wine."

Chu Xinghan had been in Yunnan since he was a child, so he wasn't very familiar with his uncle. He had only met him three times, and each time they met was a quickie. They had never eaten together, let alone had a drink together. But after hearing what Li Chu said, he thought about it carefully and realized that he had indeed never seen his uncle drink. So this was the reason!

Chu Xinghan sighed, "Old people always say that nephews resemble their uncles, but I didn't expect that their drinking capacity would be the same."

After that, the two of them smiled at each other and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, they talked about other things...

Soon the carriage arrived at the palace gate. After the carriage stopped, Chu Xinghan used the fastest speed possible, asking Zhan Ying to help him carry Chu Xingchen out of the carriage. Li Chu then got out of the carriage gracefully.

At this moment, another carriage came from behind. At first glance, it was known that it was the carriage of Prince Guangping's Mansion. Judging from the direction, it was returning from the palace.

Chu Xinghan thought to himself: How can I be so unlucky? What I fear is bound to happen!

Because Zhan Ying was carrying Chu Xingchen, Chu Xinghan quickly whispered to Zhan Ying, "While my father and the others haven't gotten off the car yet, carry Xingchen back to Shuiyunjian! Quickly!"

Zhan Ying nodded. He understood Chu Xinghan's meaning and the urgency of the matter. He took a deep breath, then quickly turned around and ran towards Shuiyunjian with Chu Xingchen on his back.

Zhan Ying's movements were extremely agile, his figure moving through the crowd like a ghost. His speed was so fast that it seemed as if he was blowing through the wind, making it almost impossible to see his figure.

Chu Xinghan watched Zhan Ying's departing figure, silently praying in her heart that everything would go well. She knew that if her father discovered that Chu Xingchen had been drinking and was drunk, it would cause an uproar and might even affect the peace of the entire palace.

At this moment, the servants at the palace gate were stunned. Their eyes widened, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. A person could actually disappear so quickly before their eyes. This was simply the legendary master of Qinggong!

Zhan Ying quickly arrived at Shuiyunjian. He gently placed Chu Xingchen on the bed and checked him. Although his face was still a little flushed, he was at least sleeping soundly and should not be talking drunkenly anymore.

Meanwhile, Chu Xinghan waited anxiously for his father and uncle Dugu to get out of the car. He didn't know what would happen next, but he was prepared for any situation.

Soon, Dugu Xin and his companions' carriage also stopped. The two of them got off the carriage one after another. Seeing Li Chu and Chu Xinghan standing at the door, who seemed to have just gotten off the carriage, they quickly walked over...

Upon seeing this, the two men first bowed to Dugu Xin and Chu Xiaoyi: "Greetings, Uncle Dugu and Uncle (Father)."

Dugu Xin and the others nodded, but Chu Xiaoyi noticed that someone was missing, so he asked, "Why are there only two of you? Where's Xinghan?"

Chu Xingchen couldn't help but panic when Xinghan was mentioned, but Li Chu was relatively calm and said calmly, "Maybe he was tired from playing during the day. He fell asleep on the way back from the car just now. When I got to the door and saw that he was still asleep, I asked my cousin's attendant to take him back first."

Chu Xiaoyi had an expression of "I see" and didn't dwell on it anymore. After all, the last time they visited Chang'an City, Chu Xinghan also fell asleep in the carriage on the way back, so it was normal.

So they continued to go to the palace. Chu Xinghan saw that the matter had not been exposed, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. He followed with a brisk pace, and did not forget to take out the wine he had bought at Tianxiang Tower before, and said to Chu Xiaoyi and the others as if presenting a treasure: "Father, Uncle Dugu, we also bought a few pots of their signature wine from Tianxiang Tower for you to try."

After saying that, he handed the wine to the two of them. Although others didn't tell him, Dugu Xin was a good wine lover. So he took out a pot of wine brewed with peach blossoms, opened the lid, and the aroma of wine filled the air, mixed with the fragrance of peach blossoms. Dugu Xin couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated by the smell.

Chu Xiaoyi on the other side didn't care about the wine, but the children were thinking about them while they were out playing, and this thought made him feel warmed.

Chu Xiaoyi said, "You've really grown up. When you go out to play, you still think about us two old guys!" After saying that, he patted Chu Xinghan on the shoulder.

Chu Xinghan said: "Father, what are you talking about? If there are any good things, we will naturally think of you!"

After saying that, the two of them took the wine with satisfaction, and asked Li Chu to help ask the kitchen to pick two side dishes. Then they went to the pavilion in the garden to have a few drinks.

Chu Xinghan felt that the matter should be over, so he happily returned to Shuiyunjian. However, thinking of his troubled brother, he could only ask Li Chu to quietly prepare a bowl of hangover soup for him...

Just like that, after a while of tossing and turning, the lights in the two sleeping halls of Shuiyunjian were turned off...

Over in the pavilion, the two finished a few pots of wine, chatted for a while, and then returned to their respective courtyards to rest...

Li Chu, on the other hand, began to miss Dugu Jingyao again once he calmed down. He thought to himself that he should have gone to the palace with Uncle Dugu and the others today. However, after tossing and turning for a while, perhaps due to the effect of alcohol, he gradually fell asleep in his longing.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace was delighted. Because the Crown Princess had made an exception and wanted to stay with her sister today, the Crown Prince had tactfully given up his seat. Today, the Crown Prince simply returned to his own bedroom to rest, and did not visit the other concubines.

Because Chu Xinyu's mother and aunt slept together and she didn't want to sleep in her own bedroom, she asked the Crown Princess and her mother to let her share a bed with Li Ruo. Li Ruo agreed to this.

Liu Jingyue was exhausted from attending classes, making tools, and meeting her father that day, so she went to bed early in her bedroom. Only Dugu Jingyao, like Li Chu, missed him so much that she tossed and turned for about an hour before finally falling asleep...
