Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 508 It Turned Out to be a Mistake

Time flies, and in just a few days, the annual New Year's Eve quietly arrives. On this special day, the palace is decorated with lights and colors, and a grand banquet is about to begin.

As members of the royal family, Li Chu and Li Xi naturally had to go to the palace to attend the banquet. However, since Gu Shiyi was still in confinement and her body had not yet fully recovered, Li Xi had to go to the palace banquet alone.

In contrast, Li Chu's party was particularly lively. Besides Dugu Jingyao, who was also by their side, there were also their two children. The whole family sat together, laughing and talking non-stop. The warm and harmonious scene undoubtedly became the most eye-catching focus of the dinner, attracting the envy of many people.

Of course, this also included Li Xi. Looking at the happy appearance of Li Chu's family, Li Xi couldn't help but feel jealous, but he could only mutter a few words in his heart. After all, it was not convenient for him to express too much in such an occasion.

At this moment, Dugu Jingyao seemed to notice Li Xi's gaze. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then she turned to look at Li Xi and asked softly, "Second brother, I wonder how you are doing recently?"

Dugu Jingyao's question was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. The already noisy dinner party suddenly erupted in whispers. Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xi, making him feel a little embarrassed and awkward.

Facing the attention of the crowd, Li Xi calmed down a bit and quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. There is nothing wrong with my health. I just didn't sleep well the past few days."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on her face: "That's good." After that, she said no more, continued to hold Li Shi and rock him gently, enjoying this rare family happiness with Li Chu and the children.

Emperor Suzong and the Empress at the head were also very pleased. As family members, the people in the Yunnan Palace were also very proud of Dugu Jingyao. Only Concubine Xiao was so angry that her teeth were itching, but since Emperor Suzong was there, she didn't dare to say much.

Suzong drank a lot of wine, so he returned to Fengyi Palace early with the empress. Concubine Xiao felt that since Suzong had already left, there was no point for her to stay here, so she left too.

Seeing that the people at the top had left, everyone naturally dispersed as they had finished chatting.

Shen Zhenzhu was pregnant, and Li Chu had a pair of children, so it seemed like they were about to go back. Li Xi, who was a little drunk, stood up unsteadily and blocked Li Chu's way: "Brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave! You didn't even have a few drinks with me on New Year's Eve!"

Li Neng had also drunk some wine and already disliked Li Xi, so he stepped forward to fight back. Fortunately, Li Chu was sober, so he stopped Li Neng and said to Li Xi, "Second brother, you've had quite a bit to drink. Today, I have to take your sister-in-law and your nephews and nieces back to the palace. If you're really interested, I'll accompany you to the end another day."

Li Xi wanted to stop Li Chu, but was persuaded by the guards around him. After all, there were so many people, and although they had drunk a lot of wine, their minds were still clear. He didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he said, "It's my fault for not thinking it through. I will get drunk with you another day."

In this way, the people from the Chu Palace and the Yunnan Palace left the palace and returned home together.

After returning to the Yunnan Palace, Shen Zhenzhu felt a little sleepy, so Dugu Xin asked Dugu Moyan to accompany Shen Zhenzhu to rest early. After Shen Zhenzhu rested, Dugu Moyan and Liu Jingyue stayed with Dugu Xin to celebrate the New Year.

In the Prince of Chu's mansion, Dugu Jingyao settled her two children, and then stayed up to celebrate the New Year with Cui Caiping and Li Wanqing who were also in the mansion.

At the Prince of Nanyang's Mansion, Li Xi returned home reeking of alcohol. Seeing him like this, Gu Shiyi frowned in disdain and asked, "How much did your Highness drink?"

Li Xi glanced at her and said, "Why? You're not allowed to drink on New Year's Eve?"

Gu Shiyi was too lazy to say anything more to him. She didn't want to argue during the holidays. Seeing that Li Xi wanted to get close to her son, she said, "Your Highness, Yu'er just fell asleep. Don't wake him up."

Li Xicai said, "Forget it, forget it. Ask the wet nurse to take Yu'er away!" Then he asked someone to call Song Yan and Tinglan over. After staying up together to welcome the New Year, Li Xi wanted to go to Tinglan's place.

Gu Shiyi asked Song Yan and Ting Lan to leave first, and then said to Li Xi, "Your Highness, even if you don't like me, you still have to give me the face I deserve, right? If for nothing else, even for Yu'er and for your reputation, you have to stay here with me, the princess, on New Year's Eve, right?"

Li Xi was a little irritated, and having drunk some wine, he leaned over and pinched Gu Shiyi's chin and said, "Didn't you ask for the position of princess? How could you be so upset? Besides, on such a beautiful day, I need someone to sleep with me. Could it be that the princess is already able to sleep with me now?"

Gu Shiyi felt a little pain from his pinch, so she shook Li Xi off and said, "Okay, even if I can't sleep with you, at least you have to stay in my courtyard, right?"

Li Xi then said, "I will give you this face. Going to Xiaoyan's place can be considered as staying in your courtyard. I am giving you face."

Gu Shiyi only said: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. I am a little tired. Please come in, Your Highness!"

Li Xi became even more unhappy after hearing her tone, thinking: This woman, is she telling him to leave? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He then did the opposite of what Gu Shiyi did. He leaned over and kissed her. This caught Gu Shiyi off guard and reminded her of that day in the restaurant when Li Xi had also kissed her in the same way.

But she was still in confinement after giving birth, so she pushed Li Xi away and said, "Your Highness, I am still in confinement after giving birth, it is not appropriate..."

Li Xi held her in his arms and said, "It's okay, I don't despise you. After all, we haven't had sex for a long time. Just treat it as reliving the old days." After saying that, he continued to kiss her.

But Gu Shiyi was still resisting. The more she resisted, the more angry Li Xi became. In the end, he simply took off Gu Shiyi's clothes one by one and pressed her on the couch.

Fortunately, Gu Shiyi had only been out of confinement for a few days and her menstrual period had stopped. She was just recuperating. She didn't refuse anymore, as she hadn't had sex for a long time and actually missed the feeling. She tried her best to cooperate with Li Xi, and this time, Li Xi didn't lose his memory, and he also felt very happy.

Li Xi didn't stop until he had tortured Gu Shiyi several times and she had collapsed on the bed.

Early the next morning, Shi Jian reported the progress of the investigation into Gu Shiyi's childbirth to Dugu Jingyao while she was washing up. The result surprised Dugu Jingyao.

Because Gu Shiyi really did not switch the children, Li Yu is indeed the biological son of Li Xi and Gu Shiyi.

Dugu Jingyao was a little confused: "Could it be that Divine Doctor Gongsun misdiagnosed my pulse? This shouldn't be possible."

At this time, Li Chu came in from outside and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dugu Jingyao then told Li Chu the story again. Li Chu was also a little surprised: "In this case, why not let Miss Murong ask the Divine Doctor Gongsun what's going on?"

Dugu Jingyao thought it made sense, so before entering the palace to pay her respects to Emperor Suzong and the Queen, she arranged for Shi Jian to go to Baicaotang to ask Murong Linzhi. Murong Linzhi also felt that her master should not have made a mistake in diagnosing her pulse.

So he took advantage of the time when there were not many patients around to ask Doctor Gongsun about the situation. Unexpectedly, the result surprised Murong Linzhi, or rather everyone else.

Doctor Gongsun originally meant to tell Gu Shiyi not to feel too burdened. Aren't boys and girls still her own children? So, she must let go of her preference for boys over girls.

But in fact, the Divine Doctor Gongsun had already diagnosed that Gu Shiyi was pregnant with a boy, but who knew that Gu Shiyi, Murong Linzhi, and Dugu Jingyao all misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Gu Shiyi was pregnant with a girl, so they tried to persuade Gu Shiyi. It turned out to be a misunderstanding...
