Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Dugu Moyan, as a cousin, escorted Dugu Jingyao and her sister back to the palace, while Chu Xinghan went back home alone. On the way back, Dugu Jingyue, who had been running outside for half a day, was already drowsy, but this time was obviously different from when she went there. Dugu Jingyue was so sleepy that she said to Dugu Jingyao, "Sister, I'm so sleepy." As she spoke, she yawned. Dugu Jingyao looked at her and saw that she still had something to understand, so she stretched her legs forward. Dugu Jingyue then contentedly lay on Dugu Jingyao's legs and fell asleep in a short while. Dugu Jingyao also leaned back on the cushion and closed her eyes to rest.

After more than half an hour, the carriage stopped. Dugu Jingyao woke up when she felt the carriage stop, but Dugu Jingyue was still sleeping soundly. Dugu Moyan also got out of the carriage. Seeing that the two had not yet gotten out, he thought they were asleep, so he knocked on the carriage wall. Dugu Jingyao heard the sound and opened the window: "We will be down soon. Cousin, it's so late, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Dugu Moyan often came to the palace for free meals, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about it. So he asked the servant to go back to the Dugu Mansion and tell his mother that there was no need to leave any food for him.

Closing the carriage window, Dugu Jingyao stroked Dugu Jingyue's hair. Dugu Jingyue felt itchy and waved her hands twice. Later, Dugu Jingyao stroked Dugu Jingyue's back. Dugu Jingyue realized that something was wrong and opened her blurry eyes. What came into view was Dugu Jingyao's face. Then she remembered that she was still lying on her sister's legs, so she quickly got up. Dugu Jingyao looked at Dugu Jingyue as if she was looking at a child: "We're here." Dugu Jingyue said "oh", tidied herself up, and prepared to get off the carriage. However, when she turned around, Dugu Jingyao was still sitting there, so she asked: "Sister, why don't you get off?" Dugu Jingyao rubbed her slightly numb thigh: "Right away." Dugu Jingyue saw that there was something she didn't understand about Dugu Jingyao's actions, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, let me help you!" Then she stepped forward to help Dugu Jingyao up, and they got off the carriage one after another. Dugu Moyan saw Dugu Jingyao limping and walked forward to ask, "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Dugu Jingyao quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay. It may be a problem with the sitting posture. My legs are numb." Dugu Moyan held back his laughter. Dugu Jingyue, with gratitude to her sister for not letting her sleep on her legs, helped Dugu Jingyao into the palace.

After dinner, Dugu Moyan returned home with the fish he'd caught that day, and the others also returned to their respective courtyards. Dugu Jingyao, with the help of Si Jian and Shi Jian, bathed and washed herself before going to bed. She thought to herself: Although I didn't do much today, I'm a little tired. I feel like I've always been a little weak since my rebirth. I have to ask the palace doctor to check on me later. I can't die before I even enter Chang'an and see Li Chu, Shen Zhenzhu, and the others! As she thought about this, she fell asleep.

In Fuyun Pavilion, Dugu Jingyue had just finished washing up and got into bed with the help of Zhishu. She was very tired, but for some reason she was not sleepy at this moment. She tossed and turned in bed and could not fall asleep. Not only could she not fall asleep, but the scenes of today's outing kept replaying in her mind, but they were all related to Chu Xinghan, either Chu Xinghan's appearance, or Chu Xinghan's faint smile, or Chu Xinghan's way of catching fish... She could not help but blush. Dugu Jingyue thought: No, no, why do I always think about Prince Chu? Is he in love? So she shook her head to stop thinking about it, but the more she tried not to think about it, the more it came up. Finally, she had no choice but to get up and drink glass after glass of water, which startled Zhishu. Zhishu pushed the door open and Dugu Jingyue was startled by her opening the door and started coughing madly. Zhishu hurriedly stepped forward and patted Dugu Jingyue on the back: "Princess, are you okay?" Dugu Jingyue was choking so badly that she could only wave her hands. After a while, she calmed down and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty. As a result, you suddenly pushed the door in and scared me!" Zhishu hurriedly admitted her mistake: "It's all my fault. Next time I will knock on the door first." Dugu Jingyue said: "It's okay, I'll be more careful next time. I'm going to sleep first. You can go down too." After that, she returned to the bed, but still couldn't fall asleep. Finally, it was almost dawn before she felt sleepy.

Chu Xinghan of the Zhennan Marquisate wasn't much better. Lying in bed, he couldn't stop thinking about the day's scenes: Dugu Jingyue picking flowers, bickering with Dugu Moyan, and directing them to catch fish by the lake... But Chu Xinghan was different from Dugu Jingyue. He was a few years older than her, and in two years, they would be discussing marriage. So, he had this idea in mind: he must marry this girl! After he had made up his mind, he gradually fell asleep.
