Chapter 501 A Heartwarming Scene
After a hearty lunch, Dugu Jingyao felt a swell in her stomach and leaned back in her chair to relax. Perhaps it was her pregnancy that had formed a habit of napping; now she needed a short nap every afternoon to feel rested. However, unlike her previous pregnancy, when she was prone to sleepiness and could sleep for hours at a time, she could now wake up naturally after a nap of about an hour, feeling quite refreshed.
After a leisurely nap, Dugu Jingyao slowly sat up and gently rubbed her dry eyes. Li Chu, who was already ready, gently handed her a cup of warm tea. Dugu Jingyao took a sip, the fragrance of the tea instantly spreading through her mouth, and she felt completely awake. The two smiled at each other and walked hand in hand towards the side hall. They planned to visit the two little ones, Li Shi and Li Ying.
As soon as I entered the side hall, I heard the babbling of two little ones, as if they were engaging in a unique conversation. Li Shi and Li Ying were sprawled on a soft mat, diligently practicing rolling over under the patient guidance of their wet nurse. They were so adorable.
Li Shi's chubby little hands kept scratching at the mat, his legs kicking vigorously, his face flushed red like a ripe apple. Li Ying's eyes sparkled, full of curiosity and a desire to explore. Her little head spun from side to side, as if searching for the perfect moment to roll over. Dugu Jingyao and Li Chu watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but smile at each other, their smiles filled with the comfort and joy of being parents.
Then, the two of them walked forward with brisk steps. Li Chu said dotingly, "Shi'er and Ying'er are working so hard. Let's see who's more capable, father?" His voice was gentle and kind, as if carrying an invisible encouragement. Dugu Jingyao said nothing, but just stood quietly by and watched, her lips slightly raised, her eyes full of kindness.
As expected, Li Ying, the showy little girl, was the quickest to react. As if she'd heard Li Chu's words, she gathered all her strength, twisted her body, and flipped over first. Afterward, she waved her hands triumphantly, letting out a giggle, as if announcing her victory to everyone. Seeing his sister's success, Li Shi, unwilling to be outdone, twisted his body even harder, much faster than he had that morning, though still slightly behind.
Li Chu looked at Li Ying who turned over first, his face full of admiration. He gently picked up Li Ying and said with a smile: "Ying'er is really amazing. She has been as good as men since she was young." Although Li Ying didn't quite understand what he was saying, she felt the warm embrace of Li Chu and immediately danced with joy. She rubbed her little head in Li Chu's arms and made cheerful babbling sounds, as if responding to Li Chu's praise.
Dugu Jingyao looked at this heartwarming scene, her heart filled with happiness. She walked forward and gently stroked Li Ying's little head, her eyes full of love.
However, when Li Shi saw Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao surrounding his sister, he naturally became jealous. He began to babble and successfully attracted the attention of Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao.
Dugu Jingyao looked at Li Shi and said, "Shi'er, I'm sorry, father and mother have been focusing on my younger sister. Mother, come and hug our Shi'er too."
Dugu Jingyao reached out to pick up Li Shi, and after holding him up, she seemed indifferent at first, as if she was really angry.
But he was only a few months old after all, and he was still afraid that his parents would be snatched away by his sister. After a while, he started dancing with a smile on his face.
In this way, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao each held a little baby, and the four members of the family laughed and played together until Li Shi couldn't hold it back and urinated on Li Chu. Then the two asked the wet nurse to help them clean up.
Back in the inner room, Li Chu took care of government affairs, while Dugu Jingyao also picked up the account books in the mansion and began to look through them. The afternoon always passed quickly, and it always felt like the sun had quietly set before I had done anything.
Li Chu stopped what he was doing, stood up, and stretched. He looked over at Dugu Jingyao, who was still looking at the account book. He quickly went over and snatched the book from her hand, saying, "Yao, you've been looking at it all afternoon. Stop looking. Zhang Deyu and the accountant will take care of it."
Dugu Jingyao said, "You don't understand this, do you? The palace is now a large and prosperous place, so it must be well managed. Otherwise, there will be a lot of loopholes in the food, clothing and other expenses of the palace."
Li Chu said, "Okay, okay, I understand, but there's no need to rush, right?" He pointed to the clepsydra.
Dugu Jingyao only then realized how much time had passed. She said, "Well, Donglang is right. There are so many books, I can't finish reading them today. Let's take a break."
Li Chu had a look of "That's right," and handed Dugu Jingyao a glass of water. Dugu Jingyao took the water, took a sip, and said, "We've been sitting here for a long time, let's go for a walk. The weather was nice today, and I wanted to take Shi'er and Ying'er out for some fun, but it's already dark."
Li Chu smiled and said, "Then let's go out for a walk. If the weather is good tomorrow, we can take the children out to play together, okay?"
Dugu Jingyao shrugged and said, "That's all we can do. Let's go." After that, the two of them walked out of the room together.
The two of them were walking around and felt that there was nothing interesting in the mansion, so they decided to go for a walk on the street. They originally wanted to eat outside. But then they remembered that they hadn't seen Dugu Moyan and Shen Zhenzhu for a while, so they took a detour to the Yunnan Palace.
Of course, the two of them were definitely not spared from being invited by Dugu Moyan to stay for dinner and drinks. In the end, it was only after Dugu Jingyao and Shen Zhenzhu strongly persuaded them that they would have drunk themselves off the table.
