Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 232 Living Under the Same Roof with the Princess

The sky gradually darkened, and the moonlight sprinkled on the road, illuminating the way ahead. In front of the Dugu Mansion, carriages slowly stopped.

Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue, along with a group of people, got off the carriage, their faces filled with joyful smiles. Xunfeng walked quickly to the gate of the Dugu Mansion and gently knocked on the doorknob a few times.

After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from inside the door, and then someone whispered, "Here I come!" As the sound got closer, the door was finally slowly pushed open, and a small figure appeared in front of everyone.

Xunfeng looked closely and saw that it was Xiaojiu. She poked her head out with a puzzled look, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Clearly, she was a little surprised by the group outside.

Xunfeng couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiaojiu's dull expression. He stretched out his hand and waved in front of Xiaojiu, trying to get her attention.

Xiaojiu blinked and finally came to her senses. She quickly opened the door and said, "Brother Xunfeng, why are you here so late? Come in quickly, don't catch a cold!" After that, she stepped aside and welcomed everyone into the mansion.

Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were the first to step into the mansion, and the others followed closely behind them.

Soon, the other female workers were also disturbed by the noise coming from outside, and they all gathered towards the gate of the mansion with light steps.

When they reached the main hall, their eyes fell on Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue who were sitting at the top. They were startled for a moment. After a brief moment of distraction, Liu Ruyan was the first to come to her senses and led the other female workers to greet Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue.

Dugu Jingyao looked apologetic, raised her eyes slightly, looked at the female workers, and said softly, "I'm really sorry, we came here so late at night, and I'm afraid we might disturb your rest."

Liu Ruyan quickly waved her hands, looking terrified, and said respectfully: "Princess, you are too kind. We haven't even had a rest yet, so why would we disturb you?" After all, even if they really did disturb us, how could they dare to show it easily!

Yunniang glanced behind her and saw someone carrying luggage. She immediately understood what was going on and asked, "Princess, are you planning to move in here?"

Liu Jingyue nodded slightly and uttered a soft murmur of agreement: "Yes, Sister Yunniang is absolutely right. My sister and I do plan to move in with you."

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened in disbelief. She muttered to herself, "These two princesses are incredibly efficient!" They'd just sent someone to clean up this afternoon, and they'd agreed to meet tomorrow, so why were they moving in tonight?

Dugu Jingyao smiled slightly, nodded to Liu Ruyan, and explained, "Indeed, we originally planned to move in tomorrow morning, but considering that the luggage has been packed and the room has been cleaned, we simply chose today as a good day to move in."

Hearing this, the female workers were overjoyed. They had never imagined that they would be able to live under the same roof with the two princesses! However, some of the female workers were still worried, especially those like Xiaojiu who were used to being free and easy. She was worried that the princesses' noble status and numerous rules would make it difficult for her to get along with her sisters as freely as before.

In reality, the women workers' worries were completely unnecessary. When it was just Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue, there wasn't much formality between them. Later, even the formalities were dispensed with; everyone treated each other like sisters and got along harmoniously. Of course, that's all for later.

Because Xunfeng was a man, he lived in the front yard with three servants. It was inconvenient for him to enter the backyard, so he asked Liu Ruyan to take Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue to the courtyard where they lived.

As it turned out, it wasn't just Liu Ruyan, there was also a small group following behind - female workers, all of whom followed Dugu Jingyao and the others to Jiangxuexuan and Bishuige.

Liu Jingyue felt a sense of déjà vu when she saw this scene. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind: Isn't this the feeling of chasing stars? Only in modern times, you chase others, but in the Tang Dynasty, others chase you. This feeling... is a bit hard to describe.

Dugu Jingyao watched as a group of people followed them in the direction of Jiangxuexuan. She felt a little strange, especially when she turned around and met their expectant eyes... So she turned around, smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Everyone, it's getting late. Let's all go back and rest early. See you tomorrow!"

Although Dugu Jingyao said this politely, who could not tell that this was an order for them to leave? However, the tone was very comfortable to listen to, and even had a hint of concern.

Liu Ruyan also echoed, "Yes, you should all go back first. What's going on with a group of people surrounding the two princesses?"

After hearing this, everyone could only go back to their rooms to rest. After all, they still had a long time to spend together in the future, so there was no need to rush.

Liu Ruyan first brought the two to Jiangxuexuan and said, "Princess, this is Jiangxuexuan. When you go out, to the right is Bishui Pavilion."

As expected, following the direction Liu Ruyan pointed, they saw the door to the Bishui Pavilion. Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Thank you, Boss Liu, for leading the way for us."

Boss Liu quickly waved her hands and said, "Aiyo, Princess, this is what I should do. I don't deserve your thanks. Besides, I am no longer the boss. You two are our masters."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Then what should we call you?"

Liu Jingyue suggested: "Sister, why don't we call her Sister Liu like Xiaojiu!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, Princess, how can I, a humble woman, call you two sisters? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

Dugu Jingyao stepped forward, took Liu Ruyan's hand, and said, "Sister Liu, you're welcome. I think Yue'er is absolutely right. From now on, we'll call you Sister Liu. It seems more intimate."

Liu Ruyan was clearly flattered, but since the two princesses insisted on this, she couldn't refuse their respect, could she? So, with a smile on her face, she said, "Since the two princesses don't mind me being a commoner, then you can call me that from now on!"

Dugu Jingyao bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Sister Liu. You should go back and rest early!" After that, they smiled at each other, and Liu Ruyan bowed and took her leave.

Dugu Jingyao asked, "Yuer, which courtyard do you want to live in?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Jingyue suddenly acted coquettishly, catching Dugu Jingyao off guard. She pounced on Dugu Jingyao like a cheerful little bird, tightly holding her arm, and said in a sweet voice, "Sister, which one do you want to live with? This time, you choose first!"

Dugu Jingyao was slightly stunned, and a touch of emotion welled up in her heart. She hadn't expected her sister to be so sensible at this moment, and to know how to give way to her. She smiled gently and said softly, "Since you know how to give way to me, then I will choose Jiangxuexuan, which is nearby."

However, Liu Jingyue's next words made Dugu Jingyao's eyes widen and her jaw drop. She leaned on Dugu Jingyao's arm and said sweetly, "Okay, I'll live with my sister!"

Dugu Jingyao frowned and asked doubtfully, "Huh? Live with me? Is this place big enough?"

Liu Jingyue, however, refused to give in. She blinked her big eyes and said, "It's okay. I can sleep in the same bed with my sister. Isn't that enough?"

Dugu Jingyao looked at Liu Jingyue in surprise, wondering if she had heard correctly. She asked again, "Yuer, are you sure?"

Liu Jingyue nodded vigorously, her eyes firm and persistent, as if to show her determination to Dugu Jingyao.

In the end, Dugu Jingyao had no choice but to agree. What else could she do? She could only pamper her own sister herself! Finally, she took Liu Jingyue with her to Jiangxuexuan for resettlement.

Fortunately, there are enough rooms in Jiangxuexuan. Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue each have a room, while the swordsman and the swordswoman, as well as Zhishu and Shili, have two rooms each.

After a day of hard work, everyone was tired. Although we moved to a new place that night, everyone slept very soundly.
