Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 151 A Colorful Day 1

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. In the Guangping Palace, Li Chu, Dugu Xin, and Chu Xiaoyi got up early as the sun just rose.

Some practiced swordplay, others boxing, sweating profusely. After they finished their workouts, they each went to wash and dress. By the time they finished the whole process, it was nearly three quarters past the hour of Yin.

However, the two brothers in Shuiyunjian overslept. When they finally woke up, the other three had already washed up and were preparing to have breakfast.

When the Chu brothers looked up and saw the sun hanging high in the sky, they were still stretching lazily when they suddenly became a little panicked. After all, at this time at home, they usually had finished breakfast.

So, the two of them hurriedly washed, dressed, and moved with unprecedented speed. In just a stick of incense, they were ready.

They both thought they were the only ones up late, but when they bumped into each other on the way out, they felt reassured. Their thoughts were surprisingly similar: "I'm not the only one up late. Having someone to go with me makes it less awkward."

So the two of them went to the front hall together, and sure enough, when they arrived, they found that the remaining people were already sitting at the table waiting for breakfast.

Just as they reached the door, they heard Chu Xiaoyi's slightly angry and apologetic voice coming from inside: "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. These two bastards are really something. It's already this late, and they still can't get up? If they don't come soon, I'll go and grab them myself!"

When the two heard the voice, they stopped in their tracks just as they were about to move forward, because they knew that if they went in now, Chu Xiaoyi would definitely be angry with them, and that would be a difficult situation.

In fact, Dugu Xin and Li Chu didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, it was common for young people to sleep in, so Dugu Xin said, "Brother Chu, maybe you were too tired yesterday. It won't hurt to sleep a little longer!"

Li Chu also echoed Dugu Xin's words and said, "Yes, uncle, there's no need to be so angry. Didn't I oversleep and get up late yesterday? It's just a small matter, there's no need to be so angry. Just wait a little longer!"

Seeing the two trying to comfort him, Chu Xiaoyi tried to calm his anger and said, "Since you've said that, let it go this time. I'll definitely punish them next time!"

Chu Xinghan and Chu Xingchen felt as if they had been pardoned upon hearing this, and quickened their pace, fearing that if they were a step late, their father would rush out and beat them!

As soon as they entered, they bowed their heads and saluted, no longer showing their usual high spirits: "Greetings to father, uncle Dugu, and cousin."

Perhaps fearing that Chu Xiaoyi would say something unpleasant, Chu Xinghan spoke first: "I'm so sorry for keeping you all waiting. I'll definitely get up earlier next time!" He even said, "Dad, if you don't believe me, can't I swear?"

Seeing Chu Xinghan's slightly aggrieved yet anxious expression, Li Chu and Dugu Xin felt a bit of sympathy for him. However, Chu Xiaoyi didn't buy it. If it was Chu Xinyu with the same expression, he might still fall for it, but when it came to his son...tsk, tsk, tsk, it was a bit irritating...

Chu Xiaoyi said with a look of disappointment: "Fine, fine, fine, forget it this time, but if it happens again, I will punish you!"

The two brothers quickly responded and then walked forward and sat down.

Li Chu ordered the maid, "Serve the meal!" Soon a table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast.

The table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes, the aroma filling the air. There was steaming hot rice porridge, with plump, soft grains; there were juicy, thin-skinned dumplings with generous fillings, the broth overflowing with gravy; and there were golden, crispy fried dough sticks, paired with sweet soy milk, a truly delicious feast.

In addition to the main course, there are also a variety of side dishes. From the refreshing and delicious cucumber salad, the sweet and sour pork ribs, to the fresh and tender steamed fish, each dish is beautifully presented. In addition, fresh fruit and exquisite dim sum add a sweet and satisfying touch to the breakfast.

Several people sat around the dining table, enjoying this sumptuous breakfast. While savoring the food, they talked about the affairs of the palace and the affairs of the country. The atmosphere of the breakfast was relaxed and pleasant.

In the East Palace, the new arrivals naturally got up early. After all, they had just arrived in the palace, and even if they didn't have to pay their respects to the Crown Princess every morning and evening, they had to at least pretend to do so...

After getting dressed up, they went to the Crown Princess's Aoxue Palace to pay their respects. After paying their respects, they were invited to stay and have a sumptuous breakfast.

As Liu Jingyue was ordered to teach the Crown Princess's personal maid and Aunt Xu how to put on makeup, she stayed after the meal and started the class.

Apart from anything else, Liu Jingyue later opened a makeup course in the imperial palace. Many concubines sent their skilled maids to learn from her. For a while, Liu Jingyue's class was packed with people seeking to learn. Of course, this is all a story for later...

Meanwhile, Dugu Jingyao was being pestered by Li Ruo and Chu Xinyu to learn martial arts. Initially, she had managed to control herself and was determined not to teach them. However, the two girls were too determined, and since she was Li Ruo's master, she couldn't find a reason to refuse. So, she secretly taught them some simple, basic techniques in a side hall of Mingxiang Pavilion...

Dugu Jingyao changed into a set of riding clothes, which was very neat. Then she asked the two of them to quietly fetch her martial arts training clothes. After changing in Mingxiang Pavilion, she officially began to learn...

Dugu Jingyao's posture was agile and his boxing skills were fierce, which made the two of them cheer.

After completing a set of boxing techniques, Dugu Jingyao was sweating slightly and her breathing was a little unstable. She asked Li Ruo and Chu Xinyu to practice the same moves she had just practiced.

It has to be said that Li Ruo does have some talent for learning martial arts. She learned it almost perfectly after just one try. Although Chu Xinyu didn't learn it all, the movements she performed were very standard. Dugu Jingyao looked at the two of them with satisfaction in her eyes.

"You learn very quickly. After a while, you will be able to achieve some success."

"It's all thanks to our master's good teaching!" Li Ruo and Chu Xinyu said in unison.

Dugu Jingyao smiled, touched the two little girls' heads and said, "You two... are really little flatterers!" After that, they looked at each other and smiled.

To ensure the quality of teaching, Dugu Jingyao put on a serious expression again: "Don't worry, take your time. Let's practice horse stance for another stick of incense today!"

I thought they would sigh or complain, but unexpectedly they just took a short break and then started to do horse stance. Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This young man is teachable!
