Chapter 410 Li Chu is jealous of his unborn child
After leaving the Yunnan Palace, Guo Ziyi headed straight for the camp outside the capital. Li Chu returned to the study in the Guangping Palace to make arrangements for his previous plan before heading to Wangyuexuan.
This time when Li Chu came, Dugu Jingyao was awake, and when she saw Li Chu coming, she greeted him at the desk. Li Chu also felt that there was no need for these false formalities between the two of them, so he walked straight to Dugu Jingyao.
He got closer and saw Dugu Jingyao reading. He felt that she was working too hard, so he snatched the account book and pen from her hands and put them aside and said, "Ayao, stop reading now. Take a break and don't hurt your eyes."
Dugu Jingyao was speechless: "I'm fine, why are you so squeamish? Besides, if I don't look at the account book, who will? Will you look at it?"
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "I definitely don't have time to read it. Why not let Li Wanqing or Zheng Wan help you manage the palace?"
Dugu Jingyao hesitated for a moment. Li Chu saw that Dugu Jingyao was hesitant and thought that Dugu Jingyao was afraid that he would decentralize her power, so he hurriedly explained: "Ayao, I don't mean anything else. I just don't want you to be too tired. If you are worried about Li Wanqing and Zheng Wan, then let Zhang Deyu help you. After all, he has been in charge of the palace's accounts before you came."
After hearing Li Chu's explanation, Dugu Jingyao pretended to be angry and said, "Donglang, am I such a power-hungry person in your eyes?"
Li Chu shook his head, and Dugu Jingyao continued, "I'm hesitant only because I'm still young, and handing over the housekeeping power is a bit too sudden, and I'm afraid others will be suspicious. It's better to share the housekeeping power when I can announce the news of my pregnancy. If my body can handle it, it will be enough to share it two months before I give birth. Otherwise, you won't let me go out, and I can't do anything in the mansion except drink tea and chat with your concubines. It's very boring."
Hearing this, Li Chu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Ayao has the final say, but just don't get too tired."
Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I understand, Donglang, I will never tire myself and our child." Speaking of the child, Dugu Jingyao stroked her belly and her eyes softened a lot.
Li Chu squatted down beside Dugu Jingyao's belly and whispered softly, "I, your father, am getting jealous. Your mother is even gentler to you than to me, so you better behave yourself and don't bother your mother, or else your father will spank you when you get out!"
Dugu Jingyao covered her lips and smiled, "Donglang, why are you still jealous of your own child?"
Li Chu just pretended to be wronged: "This little guy gets more love from A Yao than me, shouldn't I be jealous?"
Dugu Jingyao asked in return, "What if you give birth to a daughter? If you dote on her even more than I do, will I be the one to get jealous?"
The two smiled at each other and stopped discussing this topic. After all, Li Chu really couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't do as Dugu Jingyao said.
Li Chu helped Dugu Jingyao up. Dugu Jingyao thought that she was just pregnant, not unable to take care of herself...so she wanted to shake off Li Chu and walk away.
Unexpectedly, when Li Chu saw that she was trying to break free, he directly picked her up. Now she had no choice but to let Li Chu carry her to the chaise longue.
After Dugu Jingyao sat down steadily, Li Chu sat down next to her and said, "By the way, Jingyao, when I went to the Yunnan Palace to discuss the capture of An Lushan with my father and Lord Guo, I already mentioned that I wanted to bring Yue'er here to stay for a while. My father has agreed and will send Yue'er over later to keep you company."
Dugu Jingyao leaned against Li Chu with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Donglang, but didn't father ask you why?"
Li Chu said with a little pride: "I did ask, but I found an excuse to get away with it."
Dugu Jingyao looked at Li Chu's childish behavior and found it adorable. So she raised her head and pecked him lightly on the side of his face and said, "Hehe, Donglang is awesome!"
Li Chu was also overjoyed and left a kiss on Dugu Jingyao's forehead. The two of them cuddled together for a while. Li Chu looked at the time and asked, "Ayao, are you hungry?"
When Dugu Jingyao was mentioned, she suddenly felt hungry. She said, "I think I am a little bit. Shijian, please prepare the meal!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jian went to the small kitchen to make arrangements. After about an incense stick of time, Shi Jian came back to report, "Your Highness, Princess, you may have your meal."
Upon hearing this, the two stood up from the imperial concubine couch. Li Chu wanted to continue supporting Dugu Jingyao, but Dugu Jingyao said, "It's natural to do this. It would be bad if someone found out." Finally, she allowed him to walk freely. Li Chu had no choice but to follow her.
With Dugu Jingyao's reminder just now, Li Chu restrained himself and did not pile up a mountain of food in Dugu Jingyao's bowl like he did in the morning.
Of course, after lunch, Dugu Jingyao felt a little sleepy. Li Chu only allowed Dugu Jingyao to take a walk in the courtyard of Wangyuexuan, so the two of them strolled hand in hand for a while.
Except for Shi Jian, who was in the know, the other maids were all confused. After all, instead of strolling around the huge garden of the palace, he actually wandered around in the small area of Wangyuexuan... It was really incomprehensible, but this might be the way the prince and the princess get along with each other.
After strolling for half an hour, Dugu Jingyao's eyelids began to droop, so Li Chu went back to the bedroom with her for a nap.
Li Chu woke up first. Looking at Dugu Jingyao who was sleeping soundly beside him, he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he left a kiss on her forehead, quietly got up, put on his clothes and left the bedroom.
After leaving the bedroom, Li Chu also ordered that no one should disturb Dugu Jingyao's rest. Seeing that everyone agreed, he left Wangyuexuan with satisfaction and started to make arrangements for the arrest that night.
