Chapter 240: The Prince is Drunk



After hearing her words, the two girls made a bet for the first time.

The chatting and laughing made Du Jingyi's tired mind feel like it was injected with fresh spring water, and it regained vitality.

After taking a bath, she lay on the chaise longue in the ear room and asked Yingtao and Lizhu to help her wipe the moisture off her hair.

They didn't get up and leave until their hair was dry.

After returning to the main house, Du Jingyi saw that her husband had not come back yet, so she said to Li Zhu.

"Go and ask Butler He if the banquet in the front hall is about to end. When will the general return?"

"Yes, Madam."

After saying that, Lizhu ran out like a small whirlwind.

Seeing this, Yingtao smiled, then handed a cup of warm water to Du Jingyi.

"These days, she hasn't fallen behind in her training even though Mr. Liu is away. She spends one or two hours in the martial arts training ground every day. When she comes back, she's sweating all over. It's obvious that she hasn't been lazy."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi began to admire Li Zhu's tenacity.

You know, practicing martial arts is the most tiring thing, especially since she doesn't have much foundation in martial arts, so naturally she has to start from scratch for many things.

So, Du Jingyi said with deep emotion.

"When spring comes in a few days, I will talk to the general. If she can go and practice with Fourth Aunt, it will be a blessing for her."

Liu Xun was more focused on laying the foundation for Lizhu, and did not teach many moves.

Moreover, he has official duties to attend to, and may not be able to provide guidance for a long time.

However, the fourth aunt is a rare female general in the army. Du Jingyi feels that Lizhu will be able to reach a higher level if he can get some guidance from her.

There was no law in the Daxing Dynasty that prohibited women from going to the battlefield, so there were still a few female generals like my fourth aunt in the court.

Although Lizhu may not be able to be compared with them, if she can get the reputation of being taught by a female general, she will be looked up to by others in the future.

Hearing this, Cherry was happy from the bottom of her heart that her little sister was able to find a smooth path forward.

"Young Madam is really thoughtful. If Lizhu knew about this, she would definitely be happy."

"I just don't know if Fourth Aunt is willing to accept such a disciple."

Although Du Jingyi said this, he was still somewhat confident in his heart.

After spending these days together, she also realized that her third aunt was very considerate, chaste and virtuous, while her fourth aunt was unrestrained but also well-behaved.

Although Lizhu served her, the slave status of several people could be cancelled at any time, so Du Jingyi would not give anyone any handle.

If someone uses her origin as a cover-up, she has countless ways to change Lizhu's name and prove her origins are innocent.

The master and servant were chatting, and soon Lizhu came back to report the news.

The weather at the end of February was naturally much better than in winter, but it was still slightly chilly. Therefore, when she entered the door, she stood farther away from Du Jingyi, for fear that the cold would pass to her and she would get sick, which would be troublesome.

"Madam, Butler He said that the general has sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace. It is estimated that he will be back in a while. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first. The general specifically instructed you before he left."

"The prince is drunk?"

"I'm not sure, but I saw that there seemed to be no master in the front hall who didn't stagger when walking."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi could imagine the scene.

So he shook his head and chuckled and said.

"In that case, turn off the lights. I'm going to sleep first. I'm really tired today."

"Okay, I'll help the young lady over there."

Yingtao was considerate and only left a dim lamp outside the room, and then lowered the moonlight curtain so that the light could not fall into Du Jingyi's sight.

She was indeed tired, so she fell into a deep sleep soon after.

Seeing that she was breathing evenly, Yingtao and Lizhu tiptoed out of the dormitory. It was supposed to be Lizhu's turn to be on duty, but Yingtao still took up the responsibility.

"Go prepare some hangover soup for the general first, and then I'll tidy up the chaise longue in the side room. The general said before that if he gets drunk, he'll rest there."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Cherry."

After saying this, the two of them became busy again.

When everything was ready, the moon was already high in the sky.

There is no full moon in sight, but the phrase "the moon is like a hook" is quite appropriate.

Cherry waited and waited, and then she fell asleep unconsciously.

It was not until the second half of the night that Shang Ji came walking on the moon, followed by Luo Yuan who was also drunk.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw that there was only a small light on. Luo Yuan didn't care, but Shang Ji's heart was filled with sweetness.

After so many years, someone finally turned on the lights and waited for him when he returned home. Even though he knew Du Jingyi was already sleeping soundly at this moment, he was still very touched.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It was Nara Yuan who said something inappropriately.

"The maidservant beside the young lady is really stupid. She fell asleep before even turning off the lights. Doesn't she know that she can't sleep well this way?"

His voice wasn't actually very loud, but Cherry was always a light sleeper, so she heard the noise.

He stood up and looked outside the door, and saw Shang Ji and Luo Yuan already standing in the yard. He immediately put on his shoes and pushed the door open to go out.

"This servant greets the general."

"Is the young lady asleep?"

"I slept. I stood for a long time today, so my calves were swollen when I came back. So I lay down after taking a bath."

Yingtao was good at picking out the key points, so Shang Ji frowned.

"It's swollen? Have you called the court doctor to take a look?"

"The young lady didn't allow it. She said it would be fine if we just rested for a night."

Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't say much. He just glanced at the ear room, and Cherry said sensibly.

"The wing room has been prepared. General, you can go there. The hangover soup is also ready."

"Um."

Seeing this, Luo Yuan asked a question.

"Miss Cherry, do you have more? I'm feeling bad too."

He was carefree and not embarrassed at all, and Cherry didn't say much, just nodded.

She was not stupid. She knew that Luo Yuan was likely to come along, but she only prepared one bowl.

Seeing this, Narohara grinned, which was quite amusing.

Slightly tipsy, he displayed his usual carefree character to the fullest.

I don’t know if it’s the moonlight or the wind that’s just right.

Today's Luo Yuan doesn't look as annoying as before, Cherry thought.

Originally, he was an attendant to his own general and a capable general in the army.

She would inevitably have more contact with him in the future, and if she continued to look at him with prejudice, it would probably make things difficult for the young lady, so she turned a blind eye and did not deliberately pick out Luo Yuan's shortcomings.

Luo Yuan had no idea what Cherry was thinking, and was only concerned about where the hangover soup was.
