Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 110 Dining in the Palace

Just as she was thinking about it, Li Ruo on the opposite side secretly winked at Chu Xinyu. When Chu Xinyu came back to her senses, she happened to meet Li Ruo's gaze.

Although the Crown Princess at the top was chatting happily with the Marquis's wife, the Crown Prince beside her naturally noticed the two little sisters flirting with each other.

The prince raised an eyebrow and asked, "Ruo'er, what's wrong?"

Li Ruo was startled at being called out suddenly, but quickly replied, "Nothing, Father. It's just that my cousin Xinyu and I always played together when we were at the Marquis' Mansion, and I want to play with her now too. I wonder if Father would allow it?"

The prince looked at the time and it was almost time for lunch, so he looked at the two girls with expectant eyes and said, "Of course, of course..."

Before he could finish, Li Ruo was ready to thank him and pulled Chu Xinyu out.

Finally, the prince said, "However, it's almost time for lunch, let's finish our meal first."

After hearing this, they looked at the clepsydra again. Yes, it was indeed almost the hour of Si, and time for dinner, so the two of them sat back in their seats in disappointment.

Not long after, a little maid came in quietly and whispered to Aunt Xu beside her.

Nanny Xu didn't speak immediately, after all, the Crown Princess and the Marquis's wife were chatting enthusiastically!

Although the Crown Princess had been chatting, she also noticed that Aunt Xu seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she said, "Aunt Xu, just say whatever you want to say!"

After receiving the order, Aunt Xu said, "Your Majesty, lunch is ready. Would you like it to be served now?"

The Crown Princess glanced at the Crown Prince, who nodded. The Crown Princess then said, "Then serve the meal!"

Not long after, a group of maids came in one after another, carrying various dishes in their hands.

When all the dishes were served, the prince took up his wine glass and spoke first, "Everyone, there's no need to be so formal. Today is a family dinner, so please be more casual!"

After saying this, he drank a glass of wine, and the others followed the prince's lead, drinking either wine or tea.

What follows is a very cheerful atmosphere!

On the other side, in Zhengyang Palace, the emperor also ordered people to prepare lunch and invited the Dugu family to have lunch.

During this period, the emperor and Dugu Xin chatted from time to time. Since the current emperor was old, he didn't drink much.

The two sisters Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Jingyue, who were standing aside, had no other presence and were eating quietly.

Dugu Jingyao was fine. After all, she spent the second half of her previous life in the palace and was used to eating these things.

However, Liu Jingyue, whose soul traveled through time, was really envious. It was indeed a palace, and it was more magnificent than the prince's mansion. Even the utensils used for eating were made of gold or silver. Wow, it was really great. It was a pity that the palace was like a cage, and it was really not suitable for her. It would be better for her to go back to Yunnan. In the Yunnan prince's mansion, she would be the boss. When her sister got married, she would be the boss herself. Hahaha, it was really great!

The others naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but her thoughts were so beautiful that they actually laughed out loud...

The rest of the people were all confused.

Dugu Xin and Dugu Jingyao were both shocked, fearing that the emperor would be angry.

But the emperor was not annoyed by Dugu Jingyue's sudden smile. Instead, a hint of interest flashed across his eyes. He said to Dugu Jingyue, "Nizi, what are you laughing at?"

Liu Jingyue finally came to her senses, because she didn't realize she had laughed out loud. She didn't expect the emperor to call her that, so she didn't answer for a moment.

It wasn't until Dugu Jingyao reminded her and the Emperor's gaze that she realized he was calling her. She stood up in shock and said, "Your Majesty, it's nothing. I just remembered something interesting!"

The emperor asked again, "Oh? What's the matter? Tell us about it."

Liu Jingyue thought to herself: Is the Emperor such a gossiper? I can't just say that I can be the boss at home after my sister gets married!

So she could only bite the bullet and say, "Let's not talk about it. This is just an embarrassing incident from my childhood. I'd better not pollute your Majesty's ears!"

The emperor thought to himself: This girl is quite shameless. Forget it, I won't tease her anymore. So he said: "Haha, if that's the case, then it's really not easy to say it in public. Please sit down!"

Liu Jingyue felt as if she had been pardoned. After thanking him, she sat down and ate quietly, not daring to think about it anymore.
