Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Led by the Marquis of Zhennan and his wife, the group entered the Marquis's mansion. As it was already late, they had already asked the servants to prepare dinner. As everyone sat down and poured some tea, the King of Yunnan hurried in, roaring.

The King of Yunnan didn't care about anything else and went straight to Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Jingyue. The Marquis of Zhennan and his wife were also very understanding. The King of Yunnan looked the three people up and down, and when he saw that they were all safe and sound, he let them sit down. He also sat next to Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Jingyue, and did not go to the main seat.

Marquis Zhennan originally wanted to invite Dugu Xin to sit at the main seat, but Dugu Xin said to Marquis Zhennan: "Brother Chu, you are the host, you and your sister-in-law can sit at the main seat. We are so familiar with each other, there is no need for those empty formalities!" They began to eat in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Dugu Xin only paid attention to his daughter and nephew at first, but later he noticed Li Ruo and Li Chu sitting opposite him. He remembered Li Ruo, who toasted Yao'er with Chu Xinyu that day. Could the other one be the brother Li Ruo mentioned?

Li Chu saw the King of Yunnan's eyes on him and stood up to toast: "Junior Li Chu, I toast His Royal Highness the King of Yunnan!" The King of Yunnan did not dwell on it. He just felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he drank the wine and said: "My dear nephew, you came from afar and encountered bandits. It was our negligence." Li Chu said: "It's okay. Thanks to Princess Yi'an, we didn't get hurt."

Dugu Jingyao was stunned for a moment when Li Chu suddenly mentioned her. Then she said, "Your Highness, I'm too kind. It was just an emergency response!" Dugu Xin, upon hearing that his highness suddenly remembered, said, "You are... Prince Guangping?" Li Chu nodded slightly. Dugu Xin looked at her and said, "I remember Ruo'er said you were her brother. Doesn't that mean Ruo'er is a princess?"

The Marquis of Zhennan explained, "It's my fault, Brother Dugu, for not telling you in advance. Ruo'er is the Princess of Ningguo, and Chu'er is the Prince of Guangping. They were on a secret visit, so their identities were kept secret. We only said they were my wife's nephew and niece." The Marquis of Zhennan's wife smiled and continued, "Actually, it wasn't entirely a cover-up. After all, they are indeed my nephews and nieces."

Dugu Jingyao picked up a piece of steamed chicken for Dugu Xin and said, "Father, let's eat quickly. Why are you brooding over all this?" Dugu Xin, as a father, keenly noticed: Yao'er is helping this kid out? He actually felt a little jealous! But then he thought about how his Yao'er is already 14, a grown-up girl. She will be coming of age next year and will be at the age of falling in love. But then he thought about how my daughter is a princess. Even if she gets married later, it doesn't matter. Besides, the royal family is not a good place to be! Dugu Xin ate his meal while two villains were fighting in his heart. Although no one knew that he had thought about so many things while eating!

Soon, the meal was over. Dugu Xin wanted to take the others away first, saying that it was getting late and several people had been assassinated today. But when they were leaving, Li Chu said, "I wonder if my sister and I can come to the palace to have a visit someday." Dugu Xin wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he was a member of the royal family after all, so he had to save some face and not make enemies, so he said, "Okay, then come to the palace when you are free!" After that, he left with the three of them without looking back. Li Chu had a feeling that the King of Yunnan didn't seem to like him very much, or was hostile to him? But he really couldn't ask now, so he could only wait until he went to the King of Yunnan's palace another day to talk about it!
