Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

She just thought about it but didn't go in, and continued to stroll. Si Jian couldn't help asking: "Princess, why don't you go in?" Dugu Jingyao said: "I just strolled for a while, and if I go in I have to sit again, how can I digest my food?" Si Jian was not like Shi Jian. Basically, she believed everything Dugu Jingyao said, so she took it seriously.

After strolling for nearly two incense sticks, she returned to Banmengxuan. She returned to her room, sat at the table, sipping tea but absentmindedly, wondering where to even begin. She only knew how to manage herself and had never taught anyone else. In her previous life, Princess Shengping had a dedicated nanny and a female official to teach her, so she had no need for her.

I can only think about what can give Yue Er some experience? Suddenly I remembered, yes, what Si Jian said just now, my birthday is coming soon, and it always feels weird to hold a birthday party for myself, otherwise I can let Yue Er take care of it!

So he ordered Si Jian: "Si Jian, go get the housekeeper over, Shi Jian, go get Yue'er." The two of them followed the order and left. Less than half an hour later, Dugu Jingyue and the housekeeper arrived at Banmengxuan one after another. At this time, Dugu Jingyao had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. Dugu Jingyue sat down next to Dugu Jingyao and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, sister. I was having dinner just now, so I came a little late." Dugu Jingyao naturally didn't blame her. After all, both of them hadn't slept all night: "It's okay, I just finished dinner not long ago, and I remembered something, so I asked Shi Jian to call you over."

Dugu Jingyue was confused, because the housekeeper was also there, so she asked, "I wonder why my sister called me here?" Dugu Jingyao said, "I'm the housekeeper now, but I have a birthday in a while, and I always feel it's a bit strange to prepare my own birthday, so I want to give this difficult task to you!" After saying that, she patted Dugu Jingyue's hand.

Dugu Jingyue was raised by herself in this life and didn't want to use her brain at all. She was a little worried. Dugu Jingyao couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this, but she still comforted her: "Don't be afraid. Even if you don't learn to be a housekeeper now, you will have to manage the affairs of the inner house as the mistress of the house after you get married. It's better to learn it sooner." She pointed to Butler Wang and said: "I'm asking Butler Wang to assist you. If you don't understand, just ask Butler Wang." Butler Wang said: "I obey your command."

As expected, Dugu Jingyue's face almost drooped when he thought about using his brain. Dugu Jingyao said, "Yuer, I'm waiting for the surprise you give me!" Hearing this, Dugu Jingyue felt that he had to work hard to prepare for his sister's birthday and strive to make it a unique birthday. He felt full of energy, so he took Zhishu and Butler Wang with him and said goodbye, and went back to prepare for Dugu Jingyao's birthday party!

Although Dugu Jingyao had thrown the matter of the birthday party out, she still had to take care of other things in the mansion. In fact, she didn't think it was strange that she was holding a birthday party for herself, but the less trouble there was, the better.

At Floating Cloud Pavilion, Dugu Jingyue returned with Zhishu and Butler Wang. They arrived at the main hall, where Dugu Jingyue sat at the head of the table. Butler Wang wanted to stand and reply, but Dugu Jingyue, seeking advice, said, "Butler Wang, please sit down. I want to ask you what kind of things usually go into a birthday banquet in a mansion?"

Butler Wang wanted to stand up to reply, but Dugu Jingyue gestured for him to sit down. So he sat down and said, "My Lady, generally speaking, for a birthday banquet, the palace has to prepare things. The master needs to decide on the food, the dim sum, whether to have it made in-house, the opera troupe or acrobatics, and the program. Then, there's the question of which families to invite, the style of the invitations, the seating arrangement, and the process."

Dugu Jingyue was a bit overwhelmed when she heard this. Usually, her mother took care of birthday celebrations, and she was just responsible for making them happy. She didn't expect there would be so many things involved. Dugu Jingyue looked unhappy, but then she thought about it for her sister and asked, "Then, Housekeeper Wang, where do we usually start?" Housekeeper Wang replied, "We can start by ordering the dishes or deciding which families to invite." Dugu Jingyue nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Or we can decide who to invite first."
