Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved
Chapter 67: Dinner at the Royal Palace
The return journey took about half an hour, and by the time they reached the mansion, it was almost 9:00 PM, almost time for lunch. Dugu Moyan had ordered lunch to be served in the main hall, so by the time they arrived, the cold dishes were already on the table. Li Ruo, Dugu Jingyao, and Dugu Jingyue had also just arrived from the backyard.
Li Ruo saw the three of them coming back and said, "You guys are back just in time!" Dugu Jingyao also joked, "Yeah, did you come back because you smelled the delicious food?" Dugu Moyan felt at this moment that they were really not from the same family. They were so bold to say things even though they were not from the same family! Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Guangping was not a calculative person, otherwise he would have received countless beatings! But then he thought again: It doesn't matter, after all, my uncle is also a prince, and in fact, his rank seems to be higher than His Royal Highness Prince Guangping. Thinking of this, he felt much more relieved. But no one present knew that Dugu Moyan had thought so much.
After everyone was seated, Dugu Jingyao ordered someone to serve hot dishes. After the dishes were served, Dugu Jingyao keenly discovered that there was also wine. He thought to himself: Oh no, could it be that Dad wants to drink with Li Chu!
So Dugu Jingyao tried to stop him, saying, "Why are you drinking at noon? Father, didn't you say you had some official business to attend to in the afternoon?" As expected, the father-in-law disliked his son-in-law no matter how he looked at him. This led Dugu Xin to think that his daughter Yao'er stopped him from drinking not for him, but because she was afraid that he would force Li Chu to drink! (In fact, this is indeed the case)
So Dugu Xin said, "My dear nephew and Ruo'er have come from afar. It's not easy to get the chance to have a good meal at the palace. Naturally, we should treat them well. This wine is a fine wine that your father has collected. I usually can't bear to drink it myself! If it weren't for my dear nephew and Ruo'er coming, I wouldn't be willing to take it out!" Then he added, "Besides, I just went to the military camp and explained the things I had to do. I have shown my nephew everything. I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so I can spend time with you!" After saying this, he didn't forget to ask Li Chu, "My dear nephew, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
Li Chu naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity: "Nothing, I'm at my aunt's house, just hanging out with my cousins." Li Chu said this, and Dugu Jingyao felt a headache, thinking: Li Chu, don't you know how much you can drink? Why are you rushing to drink with my father? Later, he thought, this is a good opportunity. Maybe Li Chu can make my father give up hanging out with Shi Siming and others, and he won't have to bother to deal with it anymore!
So Dugu Jingyao said nothing more and let them drink. By the way, she also quietly instructed Shi Jian to have the kitchen prepare the hangover soup in advance. Shi Jian got the order and quietly slipped out to the kitchen to watch the hangover soup being cooked.
At the table, Dugu Xin was considerate of Li Chu and introduced the food on the table to him and asked him to eat for a while. Li Chu also took the time to eat. Dugu Xin saw that Li Chu had been eating for a while, so he started to persuade him to drink. He first welcomed Li Chu and Li Ruo and asked them to drink a glass. After chatting with Li Chu for a while, he thanked the emperor for his appreciation and drank another glass. After that, he kept saying various things until all ten bottles on the table were clean.
Dugu Xin could indeed drink, and even this was not enough. Dugu Moyan probably had developed this ability from his time in the military camp and socializing with Dugu Xin. He wasn't drunk, but he was a little dazed. Li Chu was in a worse situation. Although he would usually attend banquets, with his status, who would dare to force him to drink? As a result, he was the only one at the table who was a little drunk.
The girls were fine, with Dugu Jingyao the only one who drank a little, and at most they were a little tipsy. Dugu Jingyue and Li Ruo were still young and were not allowed to drink, but they were also very greedy, as they were busy toasting left and right. Dugu Jingyao was also paying attention to the people drinking at the table, but ignored the two little ones. Because they had never drunk alcohol, they only secretly tasted two glasses, and their faces were a little flushed. Dugu Jingyue was fine, after all, she had a soul that traveled through time and space, and her family had a good gene for drinking, so she didn't feel much. But Li Ruo looked a bit like she was drunk!
Dugu Jingyao thought to herself: Oh no, I was so busy with these men that I forgot to look after my two sisters! She quietly instructed Shi Jian to take Li Ruo and Dugu Jingyue to the backyard while those men were chatting and not paying attention to this side. Then she asked Shi Jian to bring some hangover soup and coax Li Ruo to drink it. Dugu Jingyue was still relatively sober and said to Dugu Jingyao: "Sister, I'm fine. After all, our family has strong genes. How could I be seduced after just two drinks!"
After hearing what Dugu Jingyue said, Dugu Jingyao thought to herself: What are genes? That's it, and she still claims she didn't drink too much! So, regardless of whether Dugu Jingyue was drunk or not, she was given a bowl of hangover soup, under the pretext that even though she wasn't drunk, she was worried she'd wake up with a headache.
Liu Jingyue was also very obedient. After all, she had just arrived in ancient times and didn't know what the alcohol content was here. Although she could drink quite a lot in modern times, she didn't know how much the original owner could drink. After all, the original owner was only 8 years old. In addition, she was strictly controlled by her mother before, and she was not close to her father and sister. She probably had no chance to drink yet!
Dugu Jingyao was relieved after watching the two of them finish the hangover soup, and then returned to the main hall to check on the three people. When she went in, she saw that Li Chu was already drunk. She almost went to look for him under the table, but her father was still holding him back to talk. She didn't know if what he said now would count after he sobered up!
Just as Dugu Jingyao was about to go in, she heard Dugu Xin ask Li Chu, "Hey Chu'er, I'm happy to drink this wine today, but I have a question for you!" Li Chu said in a daze, "I don't know... I don't know... Uncle, if you want to ask me something, I will tell you everything I know, I will tell you everything I know!"
Dugu Xin patted Li Chu and said, "Okay. Okay, okay, my dear nephew, I see you are full of praise for my Yao'er. I wonder if you have any feelings for Yao'er?"
Li Chu was confused, but he still expressed his feelings: "I admire Jingyao... Jingyao is like this, emmm, a heroine!" Dugu Xin asked doubtfully: "Is that all?"
Li Chu said again: "Maybe... maybe, there is still some love..." Dugu Jingyao felt incredible when she heard it at the door. Could it be that Li Chu liked me so quickly?
