MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 240 The prince is drunk

After hearing what she said, the two girls also made an unprecedented bet.

This joking and laughing made Du Jingyi's tired mind feel energetic again, as if a spring of fresh water had been injected into it.

 After bathing, she lay down on the imperial concubine's couch in the ear room and let Yingying and Lizhu help her wipe the moisture from her hair.

 They waited until their hair was dry before they got up and left.

 When he returned to the main room and saw that his husband had not returned yet, Du Jingyi said to Li Zhu.

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

 “Yes, young lady.”

 After saying that, Li Zhu ran out like a small whirlwind.

Seeing this, Cherry smiled, then handed a glass of warm water to Du Jingyi.

"These days, even though Mr. Liu is away, she has not missed training. She spends an hour or two at the training ground every day. When she comes back, she is sweating profusely, which shows that she is not lazy."

 After hearing this, Du Jingyi somewhat admired Li Zhu's tenacity.

You must know that this martial arts practice is the most tiring, especially since she doesn't have much foundation in child skills. Naturally, many things have to be started from scratch.

 So, Du Jingyi said with emotion.

"When spring comes in a few days, I will talk to the general. If she can be allowed to practice with her fourth aunt, it will be a blessing for her."

Liu Xun was more laying the foundation for Li Zhu, but he didn’t teach much about the moves.

Moreover, he still has official duties, so he may not be able to guide him for a long time.

On the contrary, the fourth aunt is a rare female general in the army. If he can get some guidance from her, Du Jingyi feels that Li Zhu will reach a higher level.

 The laws of the Daxing Dynasty did not prohibit women from going to the battlefield, so there were still a few female generals like the fourth aunt in the court.

Although Li Zhu may not be comparable to them, if he can get the reputation of being taught by a female general, he will be highly regarded in the future.

Hearing this, Cherry felt happy from the bottom of her heart that the little sister could find a smooth path.

“Young madam is still thoughtful. If Li Zhu knows about it, she will be happy.”

“I just don’t know if my fourth aunt is willing to accept such an apprentice.”

　　Even though Du Jingyi said this, he was still somewhat sure in his heart.

After getting along with each other these days, she also came to understand that her third aunt was as careful as her hair, chaste and virtuous, while her fourth aunt was bold and uninhibited, but she also did not break the rules.

Although Li Zhu was waiting by her side, the slave status of several people could be canceled at the request of others, so Du Jingyi would not give anyone any excuse.

If someone uses his identity as a cover, she has countless ways to change Li Zhu's surname and make her have a clean origin.

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

The weather at the end of February was naturally much better than in winter, but there was still a slight chill, so she stood far away from Du Jingyi when she came in. She was afraid that if the cold air got to her, she would be in trouble if she got sick. .

"Young madam, Butler He said that the general has sent His Royal Highness back to the East Palace. It will take a while before he comes back. If you are sleepy, please go to sleep first. The general specifically told him before he went."

 “The prince is drunk?”

"I don't know much about this, but when I look at the front hall, there seems to be no adult walking without stumbling."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi could imagine the scene.

So he shook his head and said with a chuckle.

"In that case, let's turn out the lights. I'm going to bed first. I'm really tired today."

 “Okay, my servant will help the young lady over.”

Cherry was considerate and left only a light lamp outside, and then put down the Yueyingsha tent so that the lamp could not fall into Du Jingyi's eyes.

She was indeed tired, so she fell into a deep sleep after a while. Seeing her breathing evenly, Yingtao and Lizhu quietly left the dormitory. It was supposed to be Lizhu's turn to watch the night, but Yingtao still took up the burden.

"You go and prepare some sobering soup for the general first, and then I will prepare the imperial concubine's couch in the wing. The general said before that if he is drunk, he will rest there."

“Okay, just listen to Sister Cherry.”

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

By the time everything was ready, the moon was already hanging high in the sky.

I haven’t seen any signs of a full moon, so the phrase “the moon is like a hook” is quite appropriate.

Cherry waited and fell asleep unconsciously.

It was not until late at night that Shang Ji came over the moon, followed by Luo Yuan, who also smelled of alcohol.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw that a small lamp was only slightly lit. Luo Yuan didn't care at all, but Shang Ji's heart was filled with sweetness.

After many years, when he returned home, someone would finally turn on the light and wait for him. Even though he knew that Du Jingyi was sleeping soundly at this moment, he was still very touched.

 It was Naluo Yuan who said something at an inappropriate time.

“The maid next to the young lady is really stupid. She fell asleep before the lights were turned off. Don’t you know if she can’t sleep well like this?”

His words were not actually loud, but Cherry was always a light sleeper, so she heard the movement.

 Getting up and looking outside the door, he saw Shang Ji and Luo Yuan already standing in the yard. They immediately put on their shoes and pushed out the door.

 “I have seen the general.”

 “Has the young lady slept?”

"I slept. I stood for a long time today, so when I came back, my calves were swollen, so I took a bath and then lay down first."

Cherry would pick out the key points, so Shang Ji frowned.

“Swelled? Have you called the doctor to see it?”

 “The young lady didn’t give in, saying that it would be good to rest for one night.”

Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't say anything more. He only glanced at the abyss, and the cherry said sensibly.

 “The penthouse has been arranged, the general is on his way, and the sobering soup is ready.”

"Um."

Luo Yuan asked verbosely when he saw this.

 “How prepared is Miss Cherry? I’m feeling uncomfortable too.”

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

She is not stupid. She clearly knows that Luo Yuan is likely to follow, but she only prepares one bowl.

Seeing this, Na Luo Yuan grinned and grinned, which was very funny.

Slightly drunk, he displayed his usual free and easy spirit to the fullest.

I don’t know if the moonlight is just right or the wind is just right.

Luo Yuan today doesn't look as annoying as before, Cherry thought in her heart.

 Originally, he was the attendant of his general and an effective general in the army.

She had to have less contact with him in the future, and if she always treated him with prejudice, she would probably embarrass the young lady, so she turned a blind eye and did not deliberately find out about Jia Luoyuan's shortcomings. .

Luo Yuan didn't know what Qing Tao was thinking, and he was only concerned about where the sobering soup was.
