Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 108 Visiting the Palace

In the end, I just treated it as a joke and interrupted it.

Those who needed to get on their horses got on their horses, and those who needed to get on their cars got on their cars. After they were seated, the group set off in a grand procession to the palace.

Why is it said to be vast and mighty?

In front were Li Chu, Dugu Xin, Marquis of Zhennan, Chu Xinghan, and Feng Shengyi riding horses, and in the back were the Dugu sisters in a carriage, and the Marquis's wife and Chu Xingchen and Chu Xinyu in another carriage, plus there was another carriage that was a gift prepared by the Marquis's wife for everyone in the East Palace... so it became a grand scene.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped. As expected, when the marquis's wife lifted the curtain, she saw that they had arrived at the gate of the palace.

Although the team was led by Li Chu, the heir to the throne, a routine inspection was still required to ensure the safety of the palace. So they took a look at the people and belongings in several carriages and let them pass.

The carriage traveled for about another stick of incense and then stopped.

A shrill voice suddenly rang out: "This old servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness Prince Guangping."

Li Chu dismounted and gave the emperor's chief steward a hand: "Eunuch Fang, please excuse me. Why did you come in person?"

Eunuch Fang stood up and said, "Your Highness, this is His Majesty's intention!"

Li Chu made a "please" gesture and said: "Then I'll trouble you, eunuch Fang, to lead the way."

Then everyone got off their horses and carriages, and led by Eunuch Fang, a group of people came to Zhengyang Palace in a mighty manner.

Because the distance was quite far, it took them two quarters of an hour to arrive. Eunuch Fang said to the crowd, "Please wait a moment. I will go and report to His Majesty."

Li Chu, Dugu Xin, Marquis Zhennan and his wife nodded to show that they understood.

After Fang Shizhong (Eunuch Fang, I don't remember what he was called originally, I just picked a random name) entered the inner hall, Chu Xinyu and Liu Jingyue who had traveled through time finally relaxed a lot, and then began to move their ankles and tap their legs.

The Marquis' wife felt a little distressed, but she was in the important place of the imperial palace, so she could only helplessly remind him: "Yu'er, wait a little longer, you will feel more relaxed when you see your aunt!"

Chu Xinyu nodded and said, "I understand, mother." Then she stood up again.

Dugu Jingyue on the side had no choice but to stop what he was doing and stand next to Dugu Jingyao.

However, Dugu Jingyao still felt sorry for her sister, and secretly gave her a gesture so that Dugu Jingyue could lean on her a little.

At this moment, the door of Zhengyang Palace opened and Fang Shizhong came out. Liu Jingyue had just leaned against it for a while when she was startled and stood up straight.

Fang Shizhong took small steps to the front of the crowd and said politely, "Sorry for the long wait, Your Majesty invites you!"

After saying this, everyone returned the greeting and followed Fang Shizhong into the hall.

Entering the hall, the younger children were attracted by the magnificence of Zhengyang Hall. However, since His Majesty was sitting there, it was not convenient for them to look around, so they could only lower their heads and move forward.

When they arrived at the place and stood still, they immediately saluted the emperor together with Li Chu: "Chu'er (a humble official, a humble servant, a humble servant, a humble servant, a humble servant) greets His Majesty!"

The emperor, sitting at the head of the table, smiled warmly and said in a loud voice, "Good, good, good, Chu'er, my dear ministers, please stand up!"

Everyone stood up after hearing this, but they also stood there. Only Li Chu walked to the position below the emperor's left and was about to sit down. Seeing that everyone else was standing there, he glanced at the emperor. By chance, the emperor noticed him.

The emperor cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please sit down!"

After receiving the order, everyone expressed their gratitude before being led to their seats by the palace maids.

As soon as everyone sat down, the emperor asked about the situation at the border, and Dugu Xin answered them one by one.

The emperor was very satisfied and laughed out loud: "Haha, great! It is thanks to Lord Dugu and Lord Chu that the Yunnan region can be so stable!"

Even if that was true, the two of them couldn't let themselves get carried away by the praise. They immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. This is our duty!"

The emperor was very pleased with their attitude: "My dear ministers, you are too polite. Please stop bowing so often."

Then he looked at the little kids sitting below him and said, "Scare a few more little kids!"

The little ones who were mentioned became a little nervous for a moment: The emperor mentioned us!

Chu Xinghan and Dugu Jingyao were fine. They remained relatively calm and kept their heads held high after sitting down. However, the other three kids kept their heads slightly lowered.

The emperor said, "Why are you all bowing your heads? I won't eat anyone."

Li Chu raised his lips slightly when he saw this: "Grandpa Emperor, this is their first time in the palace. Don't be too serious. You might really scare them."

The emperor was pretending to be serious. He really liked children, especially when he was older. After hearing what Li Chu said, he couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, you, you, then I will listen to Chu'er."

Upon hearing this, the little ones also raised their heads. The emperor smiled even more brightly when he saw these little children: "Not bad, not bad, they are all handsome men and beautiful women, haha, it makes me happy just looking at them."

When the little ones were at a loss, Dugu Jingyao was the first to think of something and stood up. The little ones followed suit and bowed in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"

The emperor pretended to frown, pointed at Dugu Xin and Zhennan Hou and said: "Look, look, it's all your fault. You made the children so polite."

Seeing that the two were about to stand up and apologize again, the emperor spoke first: "Forget it, forget it, sit down!"

Then he looked at Dugu Jingyao and asked, "You are a good person! What's your name?"

Dugu Jingyao stood up and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, I am Dugu Jingyao."

The emperor showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He looked at Dugu Jingyao, then at Li Chu, and thought to himself: Not bad, not bad, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. Chu'er's vision is really good! But the imperial concubine's niece has always been fond of Chu'er. What should he do?

Just as he was thinking, Li Chu saw Dugu Jingyao still standing, then looked at his emperor and said, "Grandpa Emperor? Grandpa Emperor?"

After shouting twice, the emperor came back to his senses and said, "Huh? Oh, Jingyao, right? Stop standing and sit down!"

Dugu Jingyao thanked him before sitting down.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, the emperor looked at the time and said, "Lord Chu, it's getting late. You should take your wife and children to the East Palace to visit the Crown Prince and Crown Princess first!"

Upon hearing this, the Marquis' wife wanted to rush to the Eastern Palace. The Marquis of Zhennan and his family thanked her collectively, and then, led by Li Chu, they went to the Eastern Palace together.
