Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 340 Sweet Time in the Palace

When they arrived at the flower hall, hot food was already on the table. Li Chu took Dugu Jingyao's hand and walked to the table. After they sat down, Dugu Jingyao found that there were not only dishes from Chang'an, but also famous foods from Yunnan.

A hint of surprise flashed across Dugu Jingyao's eyes, and then she looked at Li Chu affectionately and said, "Thank you, Donglang~" If it weren't for the servants being there, Dugu Jingyao would have wanted to kiss Li Chu.

Li Chu smiled and handed Dugu Jingyao a piece of steamed chicken with his chopsticks. He said, "We are husband and wife, there is no need to thank me. Come and taste it to see if it tastes authentic. If it doesn't taste authentic, I will order someone to find another chef who is good at Yunnan cuisine."

Dugu Jingyao smiled, took a bite, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and nodded as she ate, "Mm, delicious, the taste is very authentic."

Seeing Dugu Jingyao enjoying her meal, Li Chu also started eating happily. Dugu Jingyao also picked up some steamed chicken for Li Chu and said, "Try it too. I think it's better than what our chef makes."

Li Chu naturally wouldn't refuse. He picked up the meat, tasted it, and said, "This meat is tender and delicious!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Feng Shengyi, go find the chef who made this dish."

Feng Shengyi agreed and left. Not long after, he returned with someone behind him. Feng Shengyi said, "Your Highness, Princess, this person is the chef who makes Yunnan cuisine."

When the cook heard Feng Shengyi talking about him, he knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your servant Liu Lian greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Guangping and his wife, Princess Guangping!"

What neither Li Chu nor Dugu Jingyao expected was that the person who cooked this dish was actually a cook.

So Li Chu asked, "Did you make this dish?"

Liu Lian replied respectfully, "Your Highness, this was done by me."

Li Chu smiled and said, "The princess said that your cooking is very authentic. From now on, you can come to the small kitchen of Wangyuexuan and cook specifically for the princess."

Seeing how affectionate Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao were, Liu Lian was delighted: It seemed that the princess appreciated her craftsmanship! So, with a beaming face, she said, "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chu said lightly, "Well, go down and claim your reward!"

Liu Lian thanked the two again and was led out by Feng Shengyi. After leaving the flower hall, Feng Shengyi gave Liu Lian a silver ingot and said, "Work hard, and you will be rewarded in the future."

Liu Lian took the silver and said, "Thank you, Guard Feng. I'll take my leave now."

In the flower hall, both of them ate a lot because the Yunnan cuisine cooked by this cook was even better than that cooked by local Yunnan chefs.

Dugu Jingyao touched her stomach and said, "Hey~ I'm so full!"

Li Chu was actually quite full, but he had a little more of the inherent rules and constraints of a royal child than Dugu Jingyao, so he just nodded and said, "Yes, why don't we go for a walk in the garden."

Dugu Jingyao felt that this was very necessary, so she nodded and agreed.

The two of them stood up and left the hall, heading towards the garden in the backyard.

Before leaving Wangyuexuan, Li Chu also instructed: "The prince and the princess are going to stroll in the back garden. You don't need to follow."

Everyone bowed and responded. After all, what could happen in the garden of their own house?

Li Chu took Dugu Jingyao's hand and walked out of Wangyuexuan.

As they walked, they passed by a rockery in the garden. Dugu Jingyao recalled the scene when they first met behind the rockery in the East Palace, and couldn't help laughing.

Li Chu looked at Dugu Jingyao suspiciously and asked, "Ayao, why are you laughing suddenly?"

Dugu Jingyao remained calm, suppressed her smile, and said, "Nothing, just recalling some things from the past."

Seeing that Dugu Jingyao was unwilling to speak, Li Chu looked at her and saw her laughing at the rockery. Then, as if he had thought of something, he took Dugu Jingyao's hand and walked into the rockery.

Dugu Jingyao was startled by his sudden pull and almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, she caught herself in time. She wanted to blame Li Chu, but who knew that once she entered the rockery.

Li Chu gave Dugu Jingyao a "mountain bang", and Dugu Jingyao immediately forgot that she was about to blame Li Chu.

Li Chu looked at Dugu Jingyao affectionately and smiled slyly, "Ayao, did you remember this?"

Dugu Jingyao's face flushed red at what he said. She wanted to push Li Chu away, but Li Chu was still stronger. He didn't give her a chance to refute and blocked her mouth...

Just like Dugu Jingyao in the past, she struggled at first, but later, she also sank into this kiss, and did not let go until they were breathing hard.

Dugu Jingyao glanced at Li Chu coquettishly, and Li Chu said indifferently: "My dear, we have finished our walk, shall we go home?"

Dugu Jingyao ignored him and walked out of the rockery alone. Li Chu shook his head helplessly and followed Dugu Jingyao's steps. Before entering Wangyuexuan, Li Chu held Dugu Jingyao's hand and the two went to the inner room together.

After returning to the house, the two of them went about their own business. Dugu Jingyao took out the account books and personnel lists, while Li Chu had nothing to do, so he found a book and started reading.

The two of them were busy with their own things quietly. After about an hour, Li Chu saw that Dugu Jingyao didn't seem to want to stop, so he walked over to Dugu Jingyao and said, "Ayao, take a break. Wash up first and then we'll see later, okay?"

Dugu Jingyao did feel a little sore in her neck, so she pressed her neck with her hand and said, "Okay, it's time to wash up."

The two men called the servants in to help them wash and dress. After washing, they both changed into pajamas.

Dugu Jingyao wanted to go back to her desk to continue looking at the accounts, but she didn't know that there was no servant around. Li Chu hugged Dugu Jingyao from behind and said, "Ayao, there are so many account books. I can't finish looking at them today. How about we look at them tomorrow?"

Dugu Jingyao wanted to say she wanted to watch it for a while longer, but Li Chu didn't give her the chance. He hugged Dugu Jingyao tightly and smelled the fragrance of Dugu Jingyao's hair. Dugu Jingyao felt a little itchy from his sniff, so she surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, you're right. Anyway, we can't finish watching it today. Let's watch it tomorrow. I'll go put my things away first."

Hearing this, Li Chu finally let go of Dugu Jingyao. Even so, Li Chu did not leave Dugu Jingyao's side. Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Is Li Chu so clingy?

Dugu Jingyao put away the account books and other things and locked them. As soon as she stood up, Li Chu picked up Dugu Jingyao and said, "Ayao, now that everything is packed, let's go to bed!"

Although Dugu Jingyao was a little speechless in her heart, she still enjoyed the feeling of being held in the palm of her beloved's hand. So she nodded shyly and said, "I will listen to Donglang."

Li Chu was delighted and walked towards the bed with Dugu Jingyao in his arms.

He gently placed Dugu Jingyao on the bed and wanted to get up, but Dugu Jingyao suddenly had an idea and hooked her arm around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Donglang, where are you going?"

Li Chu looked up and saw Dugu Jingyao blinking her lively eyes. He asked with a playful look on his face, "Ayao, are you impatient?"

Dugu Jingyao suddenly realized that she shouldn't have teased Li Chu like that... but it was too late. Li Chu waved his hand, used his internal energy to extinguish the candle, and then rushed forward.

Li Chu whispered in Dugu Jingyao's ear: "Ayao, since you are so anxious, I will do my best to satisfy you." After that, without waiting for Dugu Jingyao to react, Li Chu kissed Dugu Jingyao on the lips.

Then the red curtain fell, and soon a sound that made people blush and their heart beat faster was heard. Shi Jian and Si Jian, who were on duty outside, blushed when they heard the sound.

The two people in the inner room tossed and turned for nearly two hours before it came to an end. After washing up, the two embraced each other in bed.

Dugu Jingyao seemed to have thought of something and touched Li Chu's arm with her hand. Li Chu looked at Dugu Jingyao curiously and asked, "Ayao, what are you touching?"

Dugu Jingyao seemed to have felt something, so she asked Li Chu: "Just now I seemed to feel a scar here, but it doesn't feel like it was caused by a sharp weapon..."

Hearing this, Li Chu recalled his childhood memories and felt a little embarrassed. However, he felt that since they were already husband and wife, they should be honest with each other, so he said, "This is indeed not an injury caused by a sharp weapon. When I was a child, I saved a little girl. Because the girl was almost unable to breathe, I..."

Dugu Jingyao had already heard this story from Shen Zhenzhu, so she already knew the whole story, but she still pretended to be curious and asked, "So what's wrong with you?"

Li Chu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, saying, "So I used my mouth to breathe for her, but after we got ashore, she probably thought I was too reckless, so she bit me..."

Hearing this, Dugu Jingyao did not get angry, but asked: "So do you know who that girl is?"

Li Chu said indifferently: "I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I already have you. That girl is just a passerby!" After saying that, he tightened his hands and hugged Dugu Jingyao.

Dugu Jingyao also snuggled up to Li Chu. After hearing Li Chu say that it didn't matter, Dugu Jingyao felt relieved and soon fell asleep.

Li Chu soon felt the even breathing of the person beside him, but he did not fall asleep. Instead, he looked at the ceiling of the bed and recalled a memory from his childhood. In fact, he really wanted to know who that girl was, but he was just curious. Unconsciously, he fell asleep.
