Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, which was a perfect time to go out and play. Dugu Jingyao thought: In the previous life, she often went to the military camp, or played with her cousins, and rarely went out to play or do anything with her sister. Today the weather is so good, why not ask her sister and cousin to go for an outing in the suburbs together. As she said that, she called Si Jian: "Go to Fuyun Pavilion, no, go to Shuxiang Pavilion and ask Yue'er if she has any plans today. If not, go for an outing in the suburbs, or go shopping outside."

Si Jian was very active, jogging all the way as if someone was chasing her. The people in the mansion knew her anxious temper, so no one said anything, and she arrived at Shuxiangxie in a quarter of an hour. The maid of Shuxiangxie was also very surprised to see Si Jian coming, because it was rare to see people coming from Banmengxuan, so she came forward and asked: "Why are you here, sister Si Jian? Does Princess Yi'an have any instructions?" Si Jian was very pleased to see her attentive attitude: "It's not an instruction, but my princess asked me to ask Princess Yining if she has any plans for today?" The maid replied: "As far as I know, there are no plans. Otherwise, I'll pass on the message for sister!" Si Jian nodded in a pretentious manner.

Soon, Zhishu, the personal maid beside Dugu Jingyue came out: "Sister Si Jian is here, come in and have a cup of tea!" Si Jian hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No need for tea, I just came to ask Princess Yining if there are any plans for today?" Zhishu also knew that Si Jian did not know how to drink tea, so she smiled and said: "My princess has nothing to do today. I wonder if Princess Yi'an has something to say?" Si Jian said: "The princess said that the weather is good today. If Princess Yining has nothing to do, she would like to invite Princess Yining to go for an outing in the suburbs or stroll around the city." Zhishu hurriedly said: "Okay, then I'll tell my princess to pack up." After that, Zhishu went into the main hall, and Si Jian happily returned to Banmengxuan.

Seeing Si Jian's expression, Dugu Jingyao thought Dugu Jingyue agreed. Sure enough, Si Jian came in and said, "Princess Yining has no plans today. When I came back just now, Zhishu had already sent someone to inform Princess Yining." Dugu Jingyao: "Then let's pack up and take some food and supplies." After taking a sip of tea, he said to Shi Jian, "Let's prepare the carriage. By the way, let's inform my cousin that we are going to the suburbs." Shi Jian took the order and went down to prepare. Si Jian also asked someone to get some food from the small kitchen, and he helped Dugu Jingyao to dress up. Today, she had a Lingyun bun, a jade butterfly hairpin, and a lilac skirt. Dugu Jingyao looked at herself in the mirror and thought: Is this still me? This girl Si Jian is the same. When have I ever been so ladylike? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I let her dress up. It would be too late to tear it down and start over. So, let it be.

Over at Shuxiangxie, Dugu Jingyue was also fully prepared. She wore a goose-yellow kimono, a pearl hairpin, and twin buns—she looked incredibly adorable. Bringing her companions to Banmengxuan, Dugu Jingyao looked at her adorable sister and felt a surge of joy. "Haha, our Yue'er is becoming even more adorable!" Dugu Jingyue had clearly gotten used to it, so she jokingly remarked, "How can I compare to you, sister? You're so gentle and charming today." Dugu Jingyao, however, was a little uncomfortable. After all, at this time in her previous life, she had been a dashing figure, so no one had ever described her as gentle and charming. But today, her outfit certainly did. The two chatted and laughed as they left together.
