Chapter 549 Borrowing Li Dan and Li Ruo
After the court session, Emperor Suzong was supposed to go to the Shangshufang to handle government affairs, but he changed his schedule. The reason was simple: he heard that Dugu Jingyao was in Fengyi Palace, and he secretly speculated that Dugu Jingyao might have brought some important news related to Li Chu.
Inside Fengyi Palace, the Empress, Li Neng, Li Ruo, and Dugu Jingyao were sitting together, chatting happily. The topic happened to touch on some exciting news, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.
At this moment, the palace door was gently pushed open, and Suzong walked in. His appearance instantly made the atmosphere in the palace solemn, and everyone stood up and saluted him.
The Empress, Li Neng, Li Ruo, and Dugu Jingyao all said in unison: "Your servants (your servants, your concubines) pay their respects to Your Majesty (your father)."
Although Suzong's face was a little heavy, he still said as he walked: "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite, please stand up."
After everyone expressed their gratitude, Emperor Suzong slowly sat down, then waved his hand to signal Li Fuguo and Nanny Xu to stay outside the hall and not let anyone else approach.
After everything was arranged, his gaze finally fell on Dugu Jingyao, and he asked directly: "Jingyao, is Chu'er awake?"
As expected, if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same house. The questions asked by Emperor Suzong were exactly the same as those asked by Li Ruo.
Dugu Jingyao could only answer once more, "Father, no. But there is good news. Before I left, Miss Murong examined the prince and found that he had some faint consciousness. As long as she reminisces with him about the past or mentions the people he cares about, I believe he will soon regain consciousness."
Upon hearing this, Suzong's face showed a rare hint of joy. He said, "Good, waking up is good news."
The Queen also revealed a gentle smile and said, "Your Majesty, not only that, Jingyao also brought another piece of good news."
Suzong asked curiously, "Oh? Is there any good news?"
Dugu Jingyao said: "Replying to the emperor, I am pregnant."
Emperor Suzong was also delighted when he heard this, but after a while, he looked down and said, "Jingyao, since you are pregnant, you should rest more. If you need any manpower, tell the Queen and ask her to transfer some people from the palace to the Prince of Chu's Mansion."
Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Thank you, Father. However, the palace is fully staffed. I have been staying with the prince because I was worried about other people taking care of me. But don't worry, I am pregnant now. For the sake of this child, I will be careful and prudent."
Suzong nodded and said, "Well, if you need anything, please tell the Queen."
At this point, Dugu Jingyao said, "Father, Queen Mother, I do have a request."
Suzong asked, "Speak."
Dugu Jingyao said, "Father, I just said that I want the prince to wake up faster and need to recall the past with him, so I want to borrow my third brother and Ruo'er."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Suzong said, "If Chu'er can really wake up soon, then let Neng'er and Ruo'er stay at the Prince of Chu's mansion for a while. However, it's not advisable to stay there for too long, especially for Neng'er. It's not good for her to stay at her brother's house all the time."
Li Neng said, "Your Majesty, I can run back and forth between the palace and the palace every day. It's not far anyway."
Li Ruo knew she was still young, and had been pampered since childhood, so how could she take care of others? She was also afraid of causing inconvenience to Dugu Jingyao, so she said, "Father, I can also go with my third brother."
Dugu Jingyao rushed to the front and said, "I think that Ruo'er should stay at the palace for a while. As for my brother, I'll trouble you to run back and forth. If you have any news, please come back and inform Father and Mother. I will also have someone clean up a courtyard for my brother, so he can stay for a few days from time to time."
Suzong and the Queen were quite satisfied with Dugu Jingyao's arrangement, so they agreed to Dugu Jingyao's request.
Dugu Jingyao continued, "If the Emperor and the Empress wish to visit the Prince, you can tell me. Then I can ask my younger brother to take you out of the palace and bring you back when you come back. I'm sure that won't arouse suspicion."
Emperor Suzong and the Queen did not expect that Dugu Jingyao was so thoughtful that she even arranged for them to leave the palace.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Suzong and the Empress praised Dugu Jingyao even more, and asked Li Neng and Li Ruo to learn more from Dugu Jingyao in the future.
Dugu Jingyao did not take credit for herself, but kept smiling. She then said to Emperor Suzong and the Queen, "Father and Mother, there's no need to worry. Brother Neng and Ruo'er are both very smart, but they are still young. When I was young like them, I was also playful and didn't consider the consequences. That's why my father and brother had to clean up the mess for me."
Li Ruo retorted, "That's right, Father and Mother. I'm only ten years old. Don't worry, in two years I'll learn to be steady and dignified, and I won't bring shame to you."
Li Neng rarely agreed with Li Ruo's suggestions, but this time he echoed, "Father, Mother, I am still working hard. Just wait and see. I will definitely not lose to my two brothers."
Emperor Suzong and the Empress were also helpless. These two little ancestors were really two funny people. Li Tan was not young anymore, but it didn't matter. He would soon reach the age of choosing a concubine. Maybe he would be able to control his temper after finding a princess. As for Li Ruo, she was still young. It would be nice to let her have some leisure time before getting married.
So both Suzong and the Queen expressed their willingness to wait and see how the two would perform in the future.
It was almost time, so Dugu Jingyao returned home first. After Li Ruo packed her luggage, Li Neng took her to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
