Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 495 Shen Zhenzhu is pregnant

After a hearty lunch, Dugu Jingyao sat back on the couch, closed her eyes, and rested for a moment. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, and a strange idea suddenly occurred to her.

So, she stood up and walked over to Li Chu, who was flipping through a scroll at his desk, and whispered, "Donglang, I just thought, why don't we go to the Yunnan Palace together? Then send someone to bring Lin Zhi to the Yunnan Palace. That way, I can visit my brother and sister-in-law, and ask Lin Zhi some questions at the same time. If we can handle these two things at once, wouldn't it be a wonderful way to kill two birds with one stone and have the best of both worlds?"

Li Chu nodded slightly in agreement after hearing this. After all, this was a rare opportunity to rest, and it was hard to predict when he would have such free time again. However, after a moment's thought, he raised another key question: "It's fine for me, but I wonder if I should bring Shi'er and Ying'er with me on this trip?"

Dugu Jingyao blurted out without thinking, "Of course they have to be brought along! Their father and mother are not in the mansion, leaving only two children here. They will inevitably feel lonely. Maybe they will even cry and make a fuss!" After she said that, her eyes revealed a hint of pity.

Li Chu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, then take them with you. The wet nurse must come with you as well." Dugu Jingyao also smiled and nodded slightly.

Li Chu sighed again, "Now that we have Shi'er and Ying'er, even if our family goes out for a short trip, it feels like going on a long journey. We have to bring our family members with us, and we also have to take their things with us."

Dugu Jingyao walked behind Li Chu, put her arms around his neck and said, "Isn't this how you raise a child? What's wrong? Is Donglang really jealous of these two children?"

Li Chu stroked Dugu Jingyao's arm, and then said: "Not now, after all, they are our children, and they are so cute. It's normal for you to favor them more. Maybe even I will unconsciously favor them."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "It's good that Donglang is not jealous. Then I don't have to worry about it anymore. I can put the children first without any worries."

Hearing this, Li Chu turned around and looked at Dugu Jingyao, and said in a coquettish tone: "No, you still have to put me first. As for the child, I can only be ranked first..."

Listening to Li Chu's childish answer, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, you are both first. By the way, let's go see if the two children are awake? If they are awake, we should get ready to go. Otherwise, if we go too late and come back too late, it will delay the two children's rest."

Li Chu agreed with this, so he untied Dugu Jingyao's hands, stood up, took her hand, and walked towards the side hall.

When the two men arrived at the side hall, the two little ones were just awake. They teased them for a while, then asked the wet nurse to pack up the things that Li Shi and Li Ying would use, and took the two children to the Yunnan Palace.

About half an hour later, everything was ready. Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao were in a car. They originally wanted to hold the two children, but later found that one car could not accommodate so many people. In the end, they had to compromise and let the wet nurse hold the children to find another car.

Fortunately, the two palaces were not far from each other, and it didn't take long for them to reach the Yunnan Prince's Palace. Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao couldn't wait to get off the carriage, walked to the other carriage, and took the two children from the wet nurse.

Li Shi and Li Ying seemed to feel the presence of Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao (after all, the vision of a two-month-old child has not yet fully developed), and a smile appeared on their faces, which made Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao very happy.

Erwang saw Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao arrive and naturally rushed forward to greet them. He saluted and said, "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, the Princess of Chu, the Young Master, and Princess Yong'an."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Get up. Are my brother and sister-in-law at home?"

Erwang nodded and said, "Princess, the Crown Prince and his wife are here. Please follow me."

Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly, and then the two of them, each holding a child, followed Erwang into the mansion and headed towards the main hall. Of course, Erwang also sent someone to invite Dugu Moyan and Shen Zhenzhu.

At this time, Dugu Moyan was still hugging Shen Zhenzhu! Although Dugu Moyan had woken up, Shen Zhenzhu was half asleep and half awake. He really couldn't bear to wake Shen Zhenzhu up, so he kept hugging Shen Zhenzhu.

Until Shen Zhenzhu opened her eyes, she rubbed against Dugu Moyan's arms, just like a kitten. Dugu Moyan looked at Shen Zhenzhu lovingly and said, "Awake?" Shen Zhenzhu smiled slightly while hugging Dugu Moyan and nodded.

Outside the door, Su Ci saw someone coming from the front yard and stepped forward to ask, "But what happened?"

The servant was quite attentive and said, "Hey, Sister Suci, if there was nothing else, I wouldn't dare disturb the Crown Prince and Crown Princess from their sweet dreams, right?"

Su Ci asked again, "Are there any guests coming?"

The servant nodded vigorously and said, "Sister Suci is really smart. That's what happened. The King of Chu and his wife came with the young prince and Princess Yongning."

Su Ci was a little troubled: "But, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess haven't woken up from their afternoon nap yet..."

The servant continued to flatter, "Sister Suci, since you are so trusted by the Crown Prince's Consort, why don't you ask them if they have already woken up?"

Su Ci took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go ask."

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Hongrui came out of the maid's room and asked, "Are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess still awake? What's the urgent matter?"

Su Ci then told Hong Rui that Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao had arrived. Hong Rui said, "We should definitely knock on the door. If we keep the King of Chu and his wife waiting too long, the Crown Prince and his wife might get angry!"

After saying that, Hong Rui reached out and knocked on the door. Dugu Moyan's voice came from the inner room: "What's the matter?"

Hong Rui took a deep breath and said, "Prince, someone from the front yard just came to report that the King of Chu and his wife have arrived."

Shen Zhenzhu woke up immediately after hearing this, and sat up as if ejected, startling Dugu Moyan. Dugu Moyan whispered, "Zhenzhu, slow down."

In fact, Shen Zhenzhu had been "imprisoned" in the mansion by Dugu Moyan for some time and had not been able to go out. When she heard that Dugu Jingyao was coming, she naturally wanted to see her as soon as possible and complain about Dugu Moyan by the way.

Shen Zhenzhu ignored her and said, "Hongrui, Suci, come in and help me dress up." The two of them moved at the sound, and Dugu Moyan also started to put on his clothes.

About a quarter of an hour later, Dugu Moyan and Shen Zhenzhu finally appeared in the main hall.

Shen Zhenzhu really missed Dugu Jingyao, and called out from a distance: "Jingyao!"

Dugu Jingyao heard the voice before she saw the person. She handed Li Ying, who she was holding, to the wet nurse and stood up to greet her. She saw Shen Zhenzhu walking towards them, supported by Dugu Moyan.

Dugu Jingyao frowned slightly, stepped forward to take Shen Zhenzhu and asked: "Zhenzhu. Oh, no, now it's sister-in-law! What happened to you? Why is my brother still supporting you? Are you injured?"

Shen Zhenzhu shook her head and said, "No, it's not your brother. That's too exaggerated!"

Dugu Jingyao thought: I'm glad everything is fine!

After everyone was seated, Dugu Jingyao asked, "What are you doing? We haven't seen you for more than ten days! We have to bring the children to see you, and you don't even bother to come and see us?" As she spoke, she glanced at Dugu Moyan from time to time, because Dugu Jingyao thought that it was most likely Dugu Moyan who didn't let Shen Zhenzhu leave the house, but why?

Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but complain: "It's all because of your brother! He's making a fuss and won't let me go out. Even when I go out, he has to follow me. I don't even have freedom!"

Dugu Moyan cleared his throat and said, "Oh, Zhenzhu, I'm doing this for your own good~"

Hearing this tone, Dugu Jingyao felt goose bumps all over her body. She shuddered and said, "Dugu Moyan, can you speak properly?"

Dugu Moyan said seriously, "Ahem, isn't it because Zhenzhu is pregnant and hasn't settled down yet that I'm worried about her going out? There are so many people on the street, what if she gets hurt?"

Dugu Jingyao's eyebrows lit up immediately, and she said in disbelief, "Zhenzhu, you..., sure, you two!"

Li Chu also said sincerely: "Congratulations, brother-in-law!"

Dugu Moyan suddenly remembered that Li Chu had just given birth to a concubine's daughter, so he said sarcastically: "Congratulations, brother-in-law!"

As soon as he said this, Shen Zhenzhu glared at him. Dugu Jingyao also felt that he was talking about something that was irrelevant, so she glared at him as well.

Dugu Moyan quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

Li Chu said, "Ayao, what my brother-in-law said... is also true..."

Everyone avoided the topic, and Dugu Jingyao said, "Brother, don't let your sister-in-law stay at home all the time. If she's in a bad mood, it won't be good for the pregnancy."

Hearing this, Dugu Moyan quickly asked, "Then what should we do?"

Dugu Jingyao added, "Of course, we should do what we should do! Eat when it's time to eat, drink when it's time to drink! Isn't that how I came here?"

Dugu Moyan said, "But Yao'er, you've been practicing martial arts since you were young and have a strong body. How can Zhenzhu compare to you?"

Dugu Jingyao rolled her eyes inwardly and said, "Oh, have you forgotten? I fell into the water when I was a child, and later I was poisoned. After marrying Li Chu, I was poisoned again. In these aspects, Zhenzhu is much better than me, right?"

Dugu Moyan was speechless, but Li Chu and Shen Zhenzhu felt a little sorry for Dugu Jingyao's experience.

Li Chu couldn't help but hand Li Shi to the wet nurse, and then reached out and held Dugu Jingyao.

Shen Zhenzhu also said to Dugu Moyan: "Okay, Moyan, stop talking. You're touching Jingyao's sore spot."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm fine. This is all in the past. Isn't everything okay now?"

As they were chatting, Murong Linzhi also arrived.

Murong Linzhi was also very happy when he learned that Shen Zhenzhu was pregnant. He checked her pulse and told Dugu Moyan: "Don't worry, although Zhenzhu is only a little over a month pregnant, she and the child are in good health. You should walk around more when you have the chance. It will also be beneficial for the future delivery. You can't stay in the house all the time."

After hearing Murong Linzhi's words, Dugu Moyan finally felt relieved and promised that he would no longer keep Shen Zhenzhu in the mansion.
