Chapter 330 Li Chu Signs the Contract
This was Chang'an City, after all! If anyone had seen the renowned and highly respected Prince Guangping enter the Yunnan Palace in broad daylight and then leave intoxicated, it would have been truly disgraceful and would have had a very negative impact.
Because of this, Prince Guangping Li Chu naturally stayed in the Yunnan Palace and rested for the whole afternoon.
The palace's servants hurriedly prepared a bowl of hangover soup for each of the three of them. Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan, still relatively sober and aware, each took their own bowl and slowly drank the sobering soup.
However, when it came to Li Chu's turn, the situation was completely different. This time, he was completely drunk and unconscious. Dugu Jingyao had no choice but to personally feed him the sobering soup spoon by spoon.
But strangely enough, when Li Chu was drunk, he would often lose all consciousness and be at the mercy of others. Therefore, the hangover soup was usually forced into his stomach without him reacting at all.
But this time was different. Perhaps because he was not yet completely intoxicated, Li Chu still had some consciousness. When Feng Shengyi first tried to feed him the hangover soup, he was like a naughty and willful child, refusing to open his mouth no matter what.
Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao on the side couldn't help laughing at first, but finally couldn't control his temper, took the sobering soup, and began to coax him in a soft voice.
After some patient soothing, and with a kiss and a hug from Dugu Jingyao, she finally succeeded in getting Li Chu to open his mouth and drink the entire bowl of hangover soup. After confirming that Li Chu was sleeping peacefully, Dugu Jingyao turned around and left with peace of mind.
Dugu Jingyao returned to her room, heavy-hearted, and slowly sat down on the edge of her bed, pondering to herself. She couldn't help but recall her past life, and images of Li Chu and Shen Zhenzhu's time together surfaced in her mind. Could it be that he had also been so spoiled around Shen Zhenzhu in his previous life? The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. In their previous life, their daughter Shengping had been a very spoiled little girl, and perhaps this personality was inherited from Li Chu.
Thinking of this, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but start thinking again: if she were lucky enough to have children with Li Chu in the future, would the child also inherit Li Chu's personality? If it was a girl, it would be fine, as it was normal for women to be more delicate. But what if it was a boy who loved to act like a spoiled child all day long like his father? What would happen then?
Thinking of this, Dugu Jingyao quickly shook her head and rejected it: "No, no, I absolutely cannot let my son become like this in the future. Things like acting like a spoiled child must not be tolerated!" Just like this, she secretly swore in her heart, while constantly thinking about the issue of her future children's education.
Unconsciously, Dugu Jingyao's consciousness gradually blurred, and she fell into a deep sleep amidst her wild thoughts. She didn't know how long it had been, but when she woke up again, she felt a dull pain in her head.
She rubbed her temples and muttered to herself, "I was so busy preparing the hangover soup for those three people that I didn't think of saving a bowl for myself..."
Dugu Jingyao rubbed her temples and stood up. Shi Jian and Si Jian heard the movement in the house and walked in and said, "Princess, are you awake?"
Dugu Jingyao asked, "What time is it?"
Si Jian replied, "Just after noon."
Dugu Jingyao then remembered that Li Chu should still be at the mansion, so she asked, "Is Li Chu awake?"
Shi Jian shook her head and said, "I haven't been out yet, but I haven't heard any news that His Royal Highness Prince Guangping has woken up."
Dugu Jingyao nodded to indicate that she understood, and then asked Si Jian to prepare warm water for her. She washed her face, put on makeup again, and then went towards the guest room.
But when she arrived at the guest room, Li Chu had just woken up. Fortunately, Dugu Jingyao coaxed him to drink a bowl of sobering soup, so he didn't feel the headache.
Dugu Jingyao stood at the door, looked at Li Chu lying on the bed, and said softly, "Are you awake?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chu quickly stood up and nodded in a daze.
Dugu Jingyao slowly walked up to Li Chu and asked, "How is it? Are you dizzy?"
Li Chu said, "A little, but it's okay." Then he forced a smile.
Dugu Jingyao smiled and asked, "Do you remember what you did after drinking?"
Hearing this, Li Chu became a little nervous. Could it be that he was talking nonsense after getting drunk, or had done something bad?
Seeing Li Chu's slightly nervous expression, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be nervous. Don't worry, you didn't say anything bad, nor did you do anything excessive. Just feel around in your arms, or ask Feng Shengyi if there's anything there."
Li Chu looked at Feng Shengyi in confusion. Feng Shengyi looked at the roof and then at the ground, but he didn't look at Li Chu directly, which made Li Chu even more confused.
However, he thought of what Dugu Jingyao had just said, so he touched his arms and found that there was indeed something there. He took it out and found that it was a piece of paper. He then found that it was a contract with his name and private seal on it.
After taking another look at the content, the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, because the content of the contract was mostly about Dugu Jingyao marrying him, and he would hand over the affairs of the mansion to Dugu Jingyao; not let Dugu Jingyao do anything against her will; be good to Dugu Jingyao; not bully Dugu Jingyao, etc. There were roughly 10 clauses.
But he just had to sign it. After all, he also wanted to do so. It was just the last clause. If the above clauses were violated, Dugu Jingyao could choose to divorce, and he could not refute it.
After reading the contract, Li Chu couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head as he laughed. He laughed at his future brother-in-law. Although he wasn't Jingyao's biological brother, he treated his sister so well that he actually came up with such a plan. He shook his head because this brother-in-law was so cute and he really couldn't do anything about him.
This time it was Dugu Jingyao who looked at Li Chu suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean by laughing and shaking your head? Are you not willing to keep your promise?"
Li Chu took Dugu Jingyao's hand and explained, "No, I wouldn't do this even if your brother didn't set the rules for me. I just think your brother is so cute."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Jingyao actually agreed deeply in her heart. She also thought that her brother was so cute. She didn't expect that he had prepared the contract in advance. It seemed that he had planned to get Li Chu drunk and make him submit.
But she still tried to remain calm, slapped Li Chu's hand away and said, "There are so many people here, please let me go first."
Li Chu said as if it was a matter of course: "Why should I let you go? You are my woman. Can't I just hold your hand?" As he said that, he looked at Feng Shengyi, Shi Jian and Si Jian behind Dugu Jingyao.
The three of them tacitly looked at the roof, the ground, and the outside, but not at the two of them.
Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't embarrass them." Since Li Chu was unwilling to let go of her hand, she pulled Li Chu up from the bed and said, "Since you're awake, pack up and tell my father and brother and go back first."
Li Chu pretended to be sad when he heard this and said, "Jingyao, why are you so anxious to send me away?"
Dugu Jingyao glanced at him and asked, "Do you still want to stay here for dinner and then be...?"
Before Dugu Jingyao finished speaking, Li Chu realized what she meant and said, "I think what you said makes sense." So he hurriedly tidied up his appearance and left the guest room with Dugu Jingyao one after the other.
Dugu Jingyao took Li Chu to the courtyards of Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan respectively to say goodbye. This time, neither of them made things difficult for him. Dugu Moyan even really wanted to keep him for dinner, but Li Chu politely refused.
After saying goodbye to the two, Li Chu left the Palace of Prince of Yunnan. He originally wanted to go directly to the palace, if for no other reason than that he had promised to ask the Crown Princess to save hair for Dugu Jingyao, and he happened to be free today.
But when he smelled the smell of alcohol on himself, he went back to Prince Guangping's Mansion first, washed up, and then went out to the palace again.
When he arrived at the palace, it was almost time for dinner, so he first accompanied the prince to handle some government affairs, and then stayed for dinner.
