Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 469 The child moved!

Cui Caiqin's case was finally resolved, but to avoid being noticed by the Cui family, Cui Caiping had to endure the sore on the corner of her mouth for a while. Furthermore, she stayed in bed for several days, pretending to be sick, to barely get over the matter.

Time flew by, and the day of paying respects arrived again. This time, Cui Caiping's heart was filled with sincere gratitude towards Dugu Jingyao. If it weren't for Dugu Jingyao's help, she would have been unable to escape the troubles brought about by Cui Caiqin, the annoying little bitch, and Yu Yi Niang, the shameless vixen.

After this incident, Cui Caiping's attitude towards Dugu Jingyao changed dramatically. Before, perhaps she'd only been superficially respectful, but now, she truly respected her from the bottom of her heart. After all, it was Dugu Jingyao who had stepped forward to help her resolve the crisis when she was isolated and helpless.

However, even so, Cui Caiping knew very well that she no longer had a strong family to rely on. Li Chu's feelings for her had always been indifferent, neither hot nor cold, and she knew that she could not expect him to give her more love and support.

Therefore, she simply stopped provoking Dugu Jingyao, lest she get herself into trouble. However, every time she paid her respects, she still couldn't help but argue with Zheng Wan to vent her unhappiness. But overall, life in the palace had been peaceful recently, with no one causing any earth-shattering trouble.

Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao were also very satisfied with Cui Caiping's attitude of being a man of insight and adept at dealing with current affairs. No matter whether it was fake or real, as long as she stopped causing trouble, she would still have a place in this mansion.

One day, Li Chu returned from a long journey, his handsome face slightly exhausted, but his eyes gleamed with a strange light. Upon seeing Dugu Jingyao, he couldn't wait to speak: "Ayao, do you remember the last time I mentioned to you that my father wanted to choose a princess for the Li family?"

Dugu Jingyao was slightly taken aback. Although her memory had been declining recently, she still remembered the incident vividly. So, she nodded gently and replied, "Of course I remember. Could it be that the selection process has already begun?"

Li Chu slowly shook his head and said solemnly, "No, the selection of concubines has been unexpectedly postponed."

Dugu Jingyao looked puzzled and asked, "Why don't you choose again? What happened?"

Li Chu walked over to sit next to Dugu Jingyao, then whispered something in her ear. Before he finished speaking, Dugu Jingyao's face was filled with astonishment, her eyes widening in disbelief as she blurted out, "You mean Li Xi and Feng Min..." However, before she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly realize something and paused for a moment to think.

After a moment, Dugu Jingyao said as if she suddenly realized something, "It seems that Concubine Xiao and the Li family are really not simple! Think about how you found a princess like me whose Yue family holds military power. Now they are also trying to follow suit and find a Yue family that also holds military power as a solid backing. If the two of you really come to a head in the future, I'm sure Guo Ziyi will also be hesitant and find it difficult to make a decision because of his daughter's feelings." At this point, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but frown and became worried.

Li Chu stroked Dugu Jingyao's eyebrows with his fingers and said, "Ayao, don't worry too much. Even if Miss Guo really becomes the princess of the Li family, it won't matter. Guo Ziyi and his wife are such people who can distinguish right from wrong. How could they raise their daughter to help the tyrant?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said, "Alas, you don't know that Guo Ziyi dotes on his eldest daughter very much. That's why Feng Min has a very straightforward and simple personality. I'm afraid she might be easily fooled by the Li family."

Li Chu also frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "This...do we need to ask Guo Ziyi and Madam Guo to intervene?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said, "Since both the emperor and you know about this, do you think Guo Ziyi and Madam Guo don't know about it? Sigh~ I bet they're having a headache too."

She patted her belly and said, "I just hope our child won't be so innocent in the future. He won't give us any headaches."

Although the child hasn't been born yet, he is very proud and confident. He said, "Ayao, you have to believe in us two. How can our child be bad?"

Dugu Jingyao looked up at Li Chu's smug expression and couldn't help but want to laugh: "Where do you get your confidence from? Do you think Guo Ziyi and his wife are any different? Not bad, right? But Feng Min was deceived by Li Xi, wasn't she? Anyway, I don't believe that Li Xi really only likes Feng Min and has no other selfish motives."

Li Chu's heart began to falter when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Let's not raise our children so innocently. After all, if we live too innocently in the royal family, although people won't be hostile to us, we might end up being used as a pawn anytime."

Dugu Jingyao smiled, stroked her belly and said, "Did you hear it, kids?" Dugu Jingyao didn't know if she really heard it or not, but she felt the baby in her belly move. She was stunned for a moment, then held Li Chu's hand tightly.

Li Chu thought she had a stomachache or was feeling unwell somewhere, so he asked anxiously, "Ayao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she said, "The children just moved!"

Li Chu was also very surprised when he heard this, and immediately put his ear against Dugu Jingyao's abdomen. The little guys seemed to feel Li Chu and kicked him twice.

Li Chu also said happily: "It moved, it really moved! Children, you must be good and don't bully your mother, otherwise your father will spank you when you get out."

As if they really understood, although there was movement in the back, it was not as loud as in the front. Li Chu regained his confidence and said, "Look, A Yao, I told you, our child must be very sensible."

Dugu Jingyao also said: "Yes, yes. What you said is all right!" After that, Li Chu put his ear close to her again and gave the child "prenatal education".

In the end, Dugu Jingyao became sleepy from listening, and Li Chu stopped.

Before going to bed, Dugu Jingyao asked again: "Do you think we should take care of Fengmin's affairs?"

Li Chu thought for a moment and asked, "We can't say we don't care, but there's a limit to what we can do. And if Miss Guo is really attracted to Li Xi, she might not listen to anything you say. We can only wait for her to figure it out on her own. Otherwise, if we keep saying bad things about Li Xi, she might think we're deliberately trying to break up their marriage, and then she'll stand against us, which wouldn't be good."

Dugu Jingyao also felt that Li Chu's words made sense, so she said, "Please invite Feng Min to come to your house and sit with you in the next two days. I haven't seen her for a long time."

Li Chu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Okay, but if you really can't persuade them, then forget it. There's no need to force it. Just wish them the best."

Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "I understand, Donglang, I know what to do." After that, Li Chu helped Dugu Jingyao to rest on the couch.
