Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 503 Li Ying Can Climb

Of course, this wasn't the first time Li Chu had asked other men to sleep with him. This kind of thing was common in the mansion, so it didn't cause much of a stir. Time flew by, and the days passed one by one.

One day, Dugu Jingyao suddenly received a letter. When she opened the envelope, she found that the sender was none other than her father Dugu Xin and her sister Liu Jingyue.

The first thing that caught his eye was the letter from Dugu Xin. In the letter, he asked with concern whether Dugu Jingyao was doing well, how Li Chu treated her, and how Li Shi and Li Ying were doing. In addition, he said that they were about to set off to Chang'an to celebrate New Year's Eve with them.

After reading the letter, Dugu Jingyao shook her head helplessly. After all, she had been married to Li Chu for over a year, yet her father was still worried. However, since having children, she had a deeper understanding of the feelings of a parent. Perhaps she would one day be as worried about her children as her father was. She was also happy to hear that Dugu Xin and Liu Jingyue were coming.

So, Dugu Jingyao picked up her pen and wrote a reply letter to her father, answering each of his questions in detail, and at the end she wrote that she was looking forward to their arrival.

Then, she turned her attention to another letter, this one from Liu Jingyue. In it, Liu Jingyue also began by inquiring about Dugu Jingyao and the others' recent well-being, then attached a newly developed whitening secret recipe and several drawings. Dugu Jingyao examined the drawings carefully and noticed that they appeared to depict a small car with two seats.

In her letter, Liu Jingyue explained that this thing is called a baby carriage, which she created after much painstaking research. With it, she no longer has to hold her baby all the time, which is both labor-saving and convenient. After all, as children grow older, they become heavy to hold.

Dugu Jingyao smiled and whispered, "I never realized before that Yue'er was so fond of studying such bizarre things. But it does seem that it will be much more convenient for me to go out in the future."

So Dugu Jingyao called Shi Jian in and told her to give the formula to Boss Liu, and to show the blueprint to Wang the blacksmith and Zhang the carpenter, and ask them to work together to see if they could make the baby carriage.

Shi Jian took the order and put the drawings away, then went out to look for the two of them.

Dugu Jingyao also wrote a reply letter to Liu Jingyue, thanking her for caring so much about her nephew and niece, and hoping that her whitening secret recipe would sell well.

After finishing writing, he called Si Jian in, handed the letter to Si Jian, and instructed: "Si Jian, go to the Yunnan Palace first and ask your brother and sister-in-law if they have any letters to send. If they do, take them together with this letter from mine to the post station and send them to father and Yue'er. If they don't have any, send this letter from mine first." Si Jian took the order and went out.

After everything was arranged, Dugu Jingyao went to the side hall to visit Li Shi and Li Ying. The two little guys were now more than six months old, so the difference in their personalities was gradually becoming apparent.

Li Ying is very active, so he has learned to crawl now, but he is not very stable yet. Li Shi is more stable and may sleep on his stomach, but he can't crawl yet.

Dugu Jingyao was worried that Li Shi was extremely bad at sports, so his progress was a bit slow, right?

The wet nurse smiled and soothed her, "Princess, please be patient. It's okay. It takes a long time for children to learn to crawl. Some children don't crawl until they are one year old. It's normal."

Another wet nurse echoed, "Princess, that's exactly what you mean! The princess is quite clever, and she's one of the earliest children to learn to crawl!"

Dugu Jing was relieved, and she did not forget to praise Li Ying for her intelligence and kissed her. Of course, as a mother, she wanted to treat everyone equally, so she also encouraged Li Shi to keep up the good work and kissed him as well.

Li Ying was beaming, while Li Shi was truly composed, with only a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth. Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but feel that Li Shi was a true descendant of Li Chu, neither of whom showed his true colors.

I originally wanted to take the two children out for a walk, but then I realized that it was already the twelfth lunar month and it was freezing outside, so I had to make sure they didn't get too cold. Finally, I decided to have the nanny spread a fluffy blanket on the floor and let the two little ones play on it.

Dugu Jingyao didn't leave until the two little guys were hungry from playing.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Li Chu who had just returned home. Dugu Jingyao smiled brightly and said, "Donglang is back."

Li Chu smiled back and said, "Well, I'm back. I wanted to come see you and the child, but A Yao just came out. Are Shi Er and Ying Er asleep?"

Dugu Jingyao took Li Chu's hand and went back to the inner room, saying, "Although not yet, the children are feeding. Donglang should stay here with me to warm up first."

Li Chu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to A Yao."

Li Chu warmed his hands while asking, "New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer. Are my father-in-law and his family coming?"

At this point, Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Yes, I just received a letter from Daddy and Yue'er this morning. Daddy said they are ready to leave. However, it will take some time for the letter to arrive in Chang'an. Calculating it, they should have already left."

Li Chu drank a cup of hot tea and nodded, "Well, then Ayao will be able to reunite with her father-in-law and Yue'er's family soon."

The next morning was another day for paying respects. Cui Caiping and Zheng Wan both arrived on time, but Li Wanqing had not yet arrived.

Cui Caiping sipped her tea while complaining, "Oh, hasn't Li Wanqing always been respectful to the princess? Why is she not even here to pay her respects on time now?"

Although Cui Caiping is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, Zheng Wan has become accustomed to confronting Cui Caiping and feels uncomfortable if she doesn't say a few words to him.

So Zheng Wan said, "Sister Cui, please don't be so arrogant. I remember that Sister Cui was often late for greetings in the past."

Cui Caiping felt a little embarrassed at this point. After all, she had been late for work because she had been in bed with the emperor first, and later because she was pregnant. She could only bite the bullet and say, "I was young then, wasn't I? But I haven't been late since then!"

Dugu Jingyao felt a bit of a headache watching these two enemies who would fight whenever they met, so she said, "Alright, alright, when will you two stop bickering? It's like you guys never grow up."

She said to Shi Jian beside her, "Go to Biluoyuan and ask what's going on." Shi Jian obeyed the order and went, but just as she was about to leave the flower hall, she saw Li Wanqing who came late.

Shi Jian bowed to Li Wanqing, then turned and walked into the flower hall and said, "Princess, Li Liangdi is here." After that, she returned to Dugu Jingyao.

Li Wanqing also stepped forward and bowed, "I am late, please forgive me, Princess."

Dugu Jingyao said: "Okay, this is your first time being late, so please take a seat."

Li Wanqing thanked her and sat down.

Cui Caiping glanced at Li Wanqing and said, "If I remember correctly, you didn't sleep with me last night, did you? Why do you look so tired?"

This also attracted the attention of Dugu Jingyao and Zheng Wan. Cui Zhu then bowed and said, "Replying to Cui Liang Di, our wife is pregnant. We just found out. She was a little unwell yesterday, so she is a little late today."

Cui Caiping was stunned when she heard this, and she felt a sense of crisis. After all, Li Wanqing had the Li Mi family behind her, but she... now had nothing but a daughter. If Li Wanqing gave birth to a son, wouldn't that make her superior?

Zheng Wan, on the other hand, remained carefree and said to Li Wanqing, "Congratulations, Sister Li!" Li Wanqing smiled at her and thanked her.

Dugu Jingyao also said: "If you are not feeling well, just take good care of yourself and send someone to tell me. I am not that unreasonable."

Li Wanqing smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. It might be because you are newly pregnant. I noticed that you were also feeling unwell when you were pregnant. I am not made of paper."

Dugu Jingyao added, "Hey, you really know the rules. How about this, if you feel uncomfortable later, just tell someone and you don't have to come."

Li Wanqing nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Princess."
