Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 506: Li Xi is getting thinner

Although time has quietly passed to the twelfth lunar month, the sun hanging high in the sky still emits a blazing light, just like summer. When the sun is shining brightly, the warm sunlight falls on people, as if covering them with a layer of golden gauze, making people feel warm and comfortable.

Look, right here in the Chu Palace, both Dugu Jingyao and Cui Caiping have spontaneously led their children outside to enjoy the rare warmth of the winter sun. They stroll through the courtyards or play in the gardens, their silvery laughter echoing in the air like a beautiful symphony, bringing endless vitality and energy to the entire Chu Palace.

The Prince of Chu's palace was bustling with activity. However, this excitement stemmed not from the women competing for beauty, but from the innocent laughter of the children. These adorable little creatures, like a spring breeze, caressed everyone's heart and captivated them.

In the bustling city of Chang'an, the Prince of Chu's Mansion has undoubtedly become a place that most women yearn for. Here, there is not only warm sunshine, but also the innocent smiles of children, and the warmth and harmony of home.

Although Gu Shiyi had married Li Xi and had given birth to a son, apart from her status and position as the head of the household affairs at the Prince of Nanyang's Mansion, nothing else was going well for her.

Li Xi has always had other women in his heart, and now there is a woman who looks 60% similar to the woman in Li Xi's heart. She was brought back to the mansion and became Li Xi's concubine. Although she is just a concubine, if she has a child in the future, she will definitely be given the title of Ruren.

Thinking of this, Gu Shiyi became furious. She was still in confinement and could not sleep with Xiaoyan, so she could only give Xiaoyan some instructions.

Fortunately, Xiaoyan is also a woman who wants to rely on the Li family to change her destiny, so she and Gu Shiyi are of the same mind at this time.

Dugu Jingyao knew that Xiaoyan was trying to win favor, so she deliberately found someone to guide Xiaoyan. Of course, this was definitely not to help her, but just to make the backyard of the Nanyang County Prince's Mansion even more chaotic, and to make Li Xi and Gu Shiyi too busy to deal with the Chu Palace.

At the beginning, Li Xi seemed to be in high spirits, and every day he was in order whether attending court or handling official business.

However, after Li Xi brought the woman back home for a while, Li Chu discovered that although Li Xi was still diligent, he seemed to be in a state of low spirits.

After leaving the court, Li Chu and Li Xi walked side by side and asked with concern: "Why do you look so listless, second brother?"

Li Xi tried to act cheerful and said, "Big Brother, it's nothing. Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night."

Li Chu added, "Father has high hopes for my second brother now, so I must take good care of myself."

Li Xi forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, my Royal Brother. But when it comes to high expectations, how can I compare to you, my Royal Brother?"

Li Chu patted Li Xi's shoulder and said, "Anyway, take care of yourself." Then he left first.

Li Xi clenched his fists and looked at Li Chu's receding back fiercely. After a while, he went towards Concubine Xiao's bedroom again.

When Concubine Xiao saw Li Xi, she also noticed that there was a dark spot under his eyes. Li Xi was a little embarrassed and just said that he didn't get enough rest. Concubine Xiao wanted Li Xi to go back and rest, so she didn't talk to him for too long. She just asked about the recent situation of Nanyang County Prince's Mansion and the situation of the child.

Concubine Xiao naturally also heard that the two concubines in Li Xi's mansion were trying to coax Li Xi into sleeping with them every day, but she knew that Li Xi was a man of his own ideas, so she could only remind him indirectly not to indulge in matters between men and women and affect his overall plans.

Isn't it true that Li Xi also listened to the advice. After returning home, he only had dinner with his two concubines, or visited Gu Shiyi and her son, and then stayed in the study without going out.

Before the Chinese New Year, although the dark circles under his eyes were gone, he looked much thinner.

At the morning court, Suzong saw that Li Xi looked a little thin and couldn't help but praise him for his seriousness and hard work, and also reminded him to take care of his health.

To outsiders, it seemed that he slept alone at night and only had meals with his concubines during the day, but in fact, before and after meals, he was seduced by those two concubines and indulged in sexual intercourse during the day... His body must have become a little weak, so he looked thinner day by day.

But Li Xi was so immersed in it that he didn't realize that all this was part of Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao's plan.

Si Jian, a straightforward guy, couldn't help but complain to Shi Jian in private: "With this kind of brain, he still wants to reach that position? If that's the case, I'm afraid the whole world will suffer with him."

Although Shi Jian also thought so, he kindly reminded her, "You better keep your mouth shut and don't say anything nonsense. If you ruin the plans of the prince and princess, I won't be able to help you then."

Si Jian smiled and leaned on Shi Jian's shoulder, holding Shi Jian's arm and said, "I understand, Sister Shi Jian, I will pay attention."
