Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 40 Dugu Jingyao's 14th Birthday 1

Dugu Jingyao quickly washed her face, cleared her head, and sat down at her desk to open the letter. It was from Guo Ziyi. The general message was: he had gathered evidence and handed it to the Crown Prince and Li Chu in advance. Some time ago, when the incident occurred, they handed the evidence to the Emperor, saving the Crown Princess. Zhang Liangdi was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned. Her family members who had participated in the murder of the Crown Princess were stripped of their positions and imprisoned, and the Zhang family fell into decline. Guo Ziyi, for helping to gather evidence, was rewarded handsomely by the Emperor and even received a promotion. He expressed his gratitude in the letter, and also expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Crown Prince and Prince Guangping.

Dugu Jingyao felt relieved after reading the letter and asked someone to come in and help her wash up. Although the poison was almost removed, it had just been removed for a short time and she was staying up all night. Si Jian couldn't help but complain: "Princess Yining is really something. It was obviously her mother who did the wrong thing, and in the end you had to go and persuade her. If you had known earlier, you should have gone earlier and you wouldn't have been unable to sleep all night."

Dugu Jingyao looked a little weak. She was too lazy to even speak. After all, she hadn't slept all night for a long time and was too sleepy. Shi Jian looked at Dugu Jingyao and could only say to Si Jian: "After all, Princess Yining is still young. It's possible that she can't think straight for a while. As the eldest sister, our princess should naturally persuade her. Stop complaining and let the princess rest!"

Dugu Jingyao just smiled and nodded, then got up and walked towards the bed. When she got to the bed, she lost her composure and just lay down on the bed without even taking off her shoes. It was Shi Jian who took off Dugu Jingyao's shoes in the end, and then he and Si Jian straightened Dugu Jingyao's body, covered her with the quilt, and left.

After a nap until noon, she woke up feeling refreshed, but her stomach was rumbling after not eating all night and day. Si Jian heard the noise from the inner room and pushed the door open with someone. "Princess, please wash up first. I've asked the kitchen to warm up the food."

Dugu Jingyao stood up and said, "Great, now our Si Jian has grown up and can take care of everything!" Si Jian blushed a little at the praise. While helping Dugu Jingyao wet the towel, he said, "That's right, Princess, you're going to be 14 years old soon. How can I not grow up?"

Dugu Jingyao thought, it's true, her birthday is coming soon. In another year, she will be a 15-year-old. She needs to hurry up and persuade her father to stop having any contact with Shi Siming. She also needs to go to Chang'an earlier!

A burst of aroma greeted Dugu Jingyao's thoughts, interrupting them. Si Jian had ordered a meal: steamed chicken, pearl meatballs, crystal dragon and phoenix dumplings, and fresh seasonal vegetables. While the selection wasn't large, it was all her favorites, and they quickly settled on the table. Afterward, Dugu Jingyao felt a bit full, so she took Si Jian for a walk to help digest the food.

As I walked, I passed by Qingfeng Pavilion. A few days later, since Qin Ruyi left, the pavilion looked like it had fallen leaves, and no one had cleaned it up. It felt a bit desolate, quite like the palace's Yiting in my previous life. I looked at it for a while, then called a passing maid and asked her to find two people to clean it every few days. After all, Qin Ruyi would have to come out again in the future.

After walking for a while, I wandered to Floating Cloud Pavilion. Suddenly, I remembered that although I was now in charge of the household affairs, I was already quite adept at managing the general affairs. After all, I was in charge of the imperial palace before. However, Yue'er wasn't close to me in her previous life, so I didn't pay much attention to whether she had learned these general affairs. But then I thought, with Qin Liangdi around, she must have taught her! But in this life, Qin Liangdi was imprisoned before she could teach her. So I had to teach her myself!
