Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

In fact, Li Ruo was also very excited last night because her royal brother finally agreed to let her learn martial arts. It’s a pity that the time she could stay in Yunnan was too short, otherwise she could learn it well!

Li Ruo simply decided that since time was short, she might as well take advantage of it to learn more. She was about to go to sleep when it suddenly occurred to her: if things really felt right, she could consider Sister Jingyao her teacher. She also felt the King of Yunnan seemed quite fond of her. If possible, she could ask him to allow Sister Jingyao to return to Chang'an with my brother and me for a while and teach me martial arts. With her mind made up, Li Ruo contentedly drifted off to a sweet dream.

The next morning, Li Ruo woke up at daybreak and asked her maid Ruhua to help her get dressed. Ruhua was also amazed that the princess could get up so early even though she was not going out to play today. But since the princess had ordered, she had to obey.

So Ruhua and the other maids in the mansion prepared hot water, handkerchiefs, cups for rinsing mouths, water, and a series of other things. After everything was ready, Ruhua helped Li Ruo wash up. After washing up, Li Ruo came to the dressing table. Ruhua combed Li Ruo's hair while asking, "Princess, do you have any hairstyle you want today?"

Li Ruo thought for a moment and decided that since she was going to learn martial arts, she had to dress neatly. She said, "Please help me comb my hair into a ponytail or a bun like I would wear when I'm dressed as a man on the street!"

Ruhua was stunned at first, then asked, "Princess, are you going to dress up as a man?" Li Ruo answered directly, "No, I'm already in Yunnan, why would I dress up as a man?" Ruhua was puzzled: "Then why do you have to wear such a hairstyle?" Li Ruo suddenly felt that she should bring Ruyu with her. Ruhua talked too much, but she was in a good mood today, so she explained: "Did you forget that my brother promised me yesterday that I could learn martial arts from Sister Jingyao? You said that if I went to learn martial arts, I should have my hair done a little neatly?"

Ruhua thought about it and thought that it was true, but it didn't seem like they said we should start today! So she said, "But, Princess, yesterday... I don't think they said we should start learning today, right?"

Li Ruo thought about it and felt a little disappointed. However, she thought, at worst, she could go later. By then, everyone in the Yunnan Palace should be awake, right? The main thing was that she would be returning to Chang'an with her brother soon. If she didn't start learning now, it would be too late. So she said, "It's okay. Uncle, brother, and sister Jingyao have all agreed. It doesn't matter when we start. Go comb your hair. Oh, and find me that lake blue men's suit."

Ruhua went to look for him as she pleased. This time, she didn't ask. After all, they weren't in the palace, and otherwise, she wouldn't have to wear men's clothing. Besides men's clothing, a skirt was clearly inappropriate for martial arts training. Li Ruo quickly packed up and sent for food. After eating a small amount, she took Ruhua to find Li Chu.

When they arrived at Li Chu's place, they were surprised to find that their brother, who usually would have been practicing martial arts at this time, had not yet woken up. So they asked Feng Shengyi, "Is my brother still awake?" Feng Shengyi bowed to Li Ruo and said, "Princess, he may have drunk too much yesterday, so he hasn't woken up yet."

Li Ruo couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Okay, I'll come back later!" Just as Li Ruo was about to leave, Li Chu in the room spoke up, "Ruo'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Ruo was delighted when she heard Li Chu's voice. It seemed she didn't have to wait too long, so she said, "Royal brother, didn't you promise yesterday to allow me to learn martial arts from Sister Jingyao? Aren't you going today?"

Li Chu also remembered that this was indeed the case, but he didn't say it would start today. This girl really wanted to learn this much? Well, he said to Li Ruo, "Go back and wait. I'll send someone to call you after I'm done." Li Ruo agreed and skipped back to her own courtyard with Ruhua.

About half an hour later, Li Chu had finished packing and came to call Li Ruo. When Li Ruo saw Feng Shengyi coming, she knew it was time to set off, so she followed Feng Shengyi to the gate of the marquis' mansion.
