Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Li Chu and Li Ruo went back to their rooms as it was still some time before lunch. Li Chu took the opportunity to take a short nap while Li Ruo changed her clothes and freshened up. After all, she was still sweating from practicing martial arts and it was a bit hot now, so she felt better after washing herself.

After washing up, Li Ruo felt much fresher. It was almost lunchtime when Chu Xinyu came to find Li Ruo and they went to the main hall to eat together. After everyone sat down, Zhennan Hou started eating first, and then everyone else started to move.

After eating for a while, the Marquis of Zhennan asked Li Chu, "I heard that you went to the Prince of Yunnan's Palace again today?" Li Chu replied, "Yes, uncle." The Marquis of Zhennan asked again, "Brother Dugu didn't bully you today, did he?" Li Chu shook his head and said, "That's not the case." Perhaps because he loved the man, Li Chu said, "Actually, it wasn't bullying before. It was just that I couldn't hold my liquor well."

Seeing that Li Chu was actually partial to Dugu Xin, the Marquis of Zhennan thought: "It seems that what my wife told me is true? Could it be that Chu Er has taken a fancy to Jing Yao, so he is also partial to Brother Dugu?"

The wife of the Marquis of Zhennan also noticed that Li Chu favored Dugu Xin, but in such a crowded place, it was not easy to ask Li Chu directly whether he liked Dugu Jingyao, so she could only ask: "So what did you do today?"

Before Li Chu could reply, Li Ruo spoke first, "Yesterday, my brother, the King of Yunnan, and Sister Jingyao agreed to let Sister Jingyao teach me martial arts. I'm going to learn martial arts today!" The Marquis of Zhennan became interested. "Oh? But didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess forbid you to learn?"

At this time, Li Chu came out to help, saying, "It's okay. I will explain the situation to my father and mother when I return. Besides, our time here is limited, so let Ruo'er exercise."

Li Ruo pouted and said to Li Chu, "I didn't take this as a joke. Besides, Sister Jingyao said that I'm smart and have good physique, so I'm a good material for learning martial arts!" Li Chu had no choice but to comfort her, "Okay, okay! I was wrong. I apologize to Ruo'er!" Li Ruo then smiled.

Chu Xinyu next to her was really envious of Li Ruo, so she said to Chu Xingchen, "Brother, did you see that? Learn from your cousin!" Chu Xingchen said, "Yes, yes, my dear sister!" Then she picked up the chicken with chopsticks and said to Chu Xinyu, "Eat, eat." The Marquis of Zhennan and his wife were very pleased to see the unity and friendship among the younger generations, and the meal ended happily with the brothers and sisters playing around.

On the way back, they were supposed to go back to their own courtyards, but Li Ruo kept following Li Chu. Li Chu noticed it and turned around. Just as he was about to ask, Li Ruo bumped into him. Li Chu straightened Li Ruo's body and asked, "Ruo'er, what are you thinking about? You look absent-minded. Why are you following me instead of going back to your room?"

What was Li Ruo thinking? She was thinking about how to talk to Li Chu and ask him to find a way to bring Sister Jingyao back to Chang'an. Seeing that Li Ruo didn't respond, Li Chu changed the subject: "By the way, Ruo'er, how was your study with Jingyao today?"

Li Ruo thought, isn't this a good time to test the results of my studies? So, he said, "Today we only practiced the basics, just the horse stance and this..." As he spoke, the Emei Spear was swung out of his sleeve, put on his middle finger, and stabbed at Li Chu. Li Chu was a little caught off guard, but he still managed to dodge it with his experience. Since Li Chu didn't have a weapon, Feng Shengyi gave him a short dagger to take the blow.

Li Ruo thrust the Emei spear in her left hand. Li Chu blocked it, and then, taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Ruo swung the Emei spear in her right hand and placed it against Li Chu's waist. (Because Li Ruo was still relatively small, it was a bit difficult for her to strike Li Chu's neck.) Li Chu could only say, "I give up."

In fact, Li Chu didn't use his full strength, but judging by the current situation, it's pretty good to be able to reach this level after just one day of learning! Is Ruo'er really suitable for learning martial arts?

Li Chu was just thinking about it when Li Ruo said proudly, "Royal brother, what do you think of my learning?" Li Chu was also very surprised and said, "I didn't expect Ruo'er to be so smart. She can achieve so much in just one day. But you are not allowed to use others for experiments, okay?"

Li Ruo heard Li Chu's praise and said, "I understand, my royal brother." Then she put away the Emei Spear and said to Li Chu, "By the way, my royal brother, I think with Sister Jingyao's status and her excellent teaching, I'm also doing well. Can you think of a way to get her to Chang'an as well? That way she can continue to teach me, and when I become a master, I won't have to rely solely on you to protect me!"
