Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Night slowly descended like a vast, deep curtain, enveloping the entire world. After drinking the hangover soup, Li Chu took a short nap. He felt clear-headed and refreshed. He called out softly, "Feng Shengyi." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly through the door.

Feng Shengyi heard the voice and quickly entered the inner room. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, are you awake? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Li Chu slowly sat up, rubbed his temples, and then asked, "What time is it now?"

Feng Shengyi quickly bowed and replied, "Your Highness, it's only been a short while since the afternoon." Before he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something important and asked, "Do you need someone to prepare a meal for Your Highness?"

This question suddenly made Li Chu realize that his stomach was already empty. He nodded slightly in agreement and then instructed, "First, ask your uncle and aunt if they would like to dine together. If they do, we can set up the banquet in the main hall. If they have other plans, we can send the food to their respective courtyards."

After receiving the order, Feng Shengyi turned around and left Chenxiang Pavilion, walking quickly towards Mo Yuxuan.

When Feng Shengyi arrived at Mo Yuxuan, he noticed something strange about the atmosphere. The servants were busy and methodical, but they seemed to be avoiding the main hall. Feng Shengyi couldn't help but feel confused, not knowing what was going on.

Just as Feng Shengyi was thinking, a maid noticed his arrival and hurried forward to greet him, saying, "Guard Feng, you're here. Is there anything His Highness wants you to do?"

Feng Shengyi's thoughts were interrupted, and he replied, "It's nothing particularly important, but Your Highness wants to know whether the Marquis and his wife would like to have dinner together. If so, the food will be placed in the main hall; otherwise, it will be sent to their respective courtyards."

After hearing this, the maid had a strange expression on her face, glancing towards the main hall from time to time. Feng Shengyi frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why do you have such an expression?"

The maid hesitated, unable to utter a single word for a long time. Just then, Biluo heard the commotion outside and walked into the courtyard to greet Feng Shengyi warmly: "Master Feng, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you so kindly!"

Feng Shengyi finally smiled a little: "Sister Biluo, please stop teasing me. I wonder if the Marquis and his wife would like to have dinner together in the main hall?"

When the maid saw Biluo coming, she seemed to have found her backbone. She bowed and went about her own business.

Biluo stood there thinking for a moment, recalling the appearance of the Marquis and his wife just now, and an idea came to her mind. She turned to Feng Shengyi and said, "Master Feng, our Marquis and his wife haven't woken up yet, so they may not be able to dine with everyone. Please set the food up at Mo Yuxuan. Oh, by the way, the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master don't seem to have eaten yet either. I'm worried they'll be hungry, so you can go and ask them if they want to dine together."

After Feng Shengyi got a clear answer, he didn't stay any longer and replied, "Okay, then I'll go to Shuiyunjian to ask. In that case, I'll take my leave first." Biluo smiled and nodded, and sent Feng Shengyi to Mo Yuxuan's door before turning around and leaving.

Not long after, Feng Shengyi returned to Shuiyunjian. At that moment, the two Chu brothers were also starving and were about to ask when dinner would be served.

Chu Xinghan was delighted when he saw Feng Shengyi coming over. He immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Feng Shengyi, what are you doing here? Does your cousin have something to talk to us about?" His eyes were full of expectation, hoping to get an answer from Feng Shengyi.

Feng Shengyi bowed respectfully and said in a calm voice, "Your Highness would like to inquire whether the Crown Prince and Young Master would like to dine together in the main hall. If you two do not wish to go together, I will arrange for dinner to be served in your respective courtyards."

Chu Xingchen looked up at Feng Shengyi with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked, "Father, mother, and cousin, do you want to have dinner together?"

Feng Shengyi bowed slightly and replied, "I have just visited the Marquis and his wife, and they have stated that they will not be dining together in the main hall. As for Your Highness, we are awaiting your decision. If you decide to dine in the Shuiyun Room, you may enjoy dinner directly in your respective courtyards."

Chu Xinghan pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said softly: "In that case, let's eat in the yard."

After receiving the instructions, Feng Shengyi immediately turned and left to begin making arrangements for dinner. Since the Marquis and his wife hadn't woken up yet, the kitchen kept their food warm. Meanwhile, the other two courtyards had meticulously prepared a sumptuous dinner.

After a hearty meal, Chu Xinghan and Chu Xingchen went for a walk in the yard, and Li Chu also took a walk in the garden. During this time, they met each other and strolled together, chatting and laughing.

After strolling for nearly two quarters of an hour, Chu Xinghan and Chu Xingchen expressed their desire to go to Mo Yuxuan to see their parents, so Li Chu chose to return to Chenxiang Pavilion first.

After returning to Chenxiang Pavilion, Li Chu called Feng Shengyi to the bedroom, told him something in secret, and then sent Feng Shengyi out. Feng Shengyi then stood guard at the door and turned off the lights in the room.

The other servants and maids all felt strange. How could their prince go to bed so early? However, as servants, they dared not question it and could only go about their own business.

On the other side, at Dugu Mansion, Dugu Jingyao came to rest, and so did Liu Jingyue. Liu Jingyue came to find Dugu Jingyao and knocked on the door gently. Dugu Jingyao heard the knock and smiled and said, "Yue'er is here, come in quickly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyue trotted into the inner room. "Sister, your yard really lives up to its name. I see a lot of plum blossoms planted outside. I guess it will be filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms in winter!"

Dugu Jingyao was also very satisfied with this courtyard, and then asked Liu Jingyue with concern: "Yuer, are you adapting to living in your courtyard? I'm really tired today and haven't been to your courtyard yet!"

Liu Jingyue took a sip of tea and nodded, saying, "It's not bad. There's even a swing inside. It's a pity that I've been too busy lately and I'm afraid I don't have time to swing on it." She showed a regretful expression as she spoke.

Dugu Jingyao comforted him, "It's okay. Before you get married, you can come here and stay for a while every year. You can swing on the swing when you have time. I'm just worried that you'll get bored!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, Liu Jingyue said, "Sister, let's go find daddy. I'm hungry!" As she said that, she touched her stomach.

Dugu Jingyao looked at Liu Jingyue lovingly and said, "Okay, let's go find Daddy." Then she instructed Shi Jian, "Go and ask where Daddy is. Where is the dinner?"

Shi Jian took the order and went down. After about an incense stick of time, Shi Jian returned and bowed, saying, "My two princesses, the prince is in Jinhua Garden at this moment. However, I asked, and the prince said that dinner will be served in the front hall."

Dugu Jingyao nodded to indicate that she understood, and then said to Liu Jingyue, "Let's go, Yue'er, let's go to the front hall first and wait for Daddy." Liu Jingyue also nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked out together and went to the front hall...
