Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 290: I Want a Surprise So Much That I Go Bald

After hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought, racking their brains to think of ways to surprise Dugu Jingyue.

Dugu Jingyao thought to herself that if Yue'er's mother could be released from her captivity and the two could meet, it would definitely be a great surprise. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile slightly, as if she had already seen Yue'er's ecstatic look when she saw her mother.

However, beyond that, it was difficult for everyone to come up with any new and unique ideas. After all, on weekdays, when they celebrated their birthdays, it was just a matter of preparing something extravagant at home, and the whole family would sit together happily, enjoying some longevity noodles. There really wasn't much new or interesting to do.

Dugu Jingyao pondered for a moment before a sudden inspiration struck her. She remembered that when she had her birthday party, besides Yue'er, her brother and Xinyu had also helped out. Perhaps she could ask them for some unexpected advice?

After making up his mind, Dugu Jingyao said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's not bother thinking about it for now. I'll go find my brother and Xinyu another day and ask them for advice."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly. Clearly, they had no idea how to pull off a surprise. Seeing this, they both nodded in agreement with Dugu Jingyao's idea. And so, the discussion about the birthday surprise was put on hold for the time being.

At this time, Dugu Jingyao turned to look at Shen Zhenzhu who was picking up the needle and thread to continue making knee pads, and suggested with a smile: "Zhenzhu, don't always work so hard on making knee pads. Let's go out for a walk together, so we can relax and change our minds!"

Murong Linzhi smiled and agreed, "Indeed, Zhenzhu, there's no rush to make the kneepads. We still have quite a few days left here, so there's plenty of time to hand them over to Brother Mo Yan before we leave."

Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly, and after a moment's thought, she continued, "Besides, now that he's been adopted into the Yunnan Palace, he's my biological brother. When I get married in Chang'an, he'll definitely go there to escort me! So, you can wait until we get to Chang'an and then personally hand the kneepad to him."

Faced with the constant persuasion of Dugu Jingyao and Murong Linzhi, Shen Zhenzhu finally couldn't resist. She sighed helplessly, slowly put down the work she was busy with, and replied softly: "Okay, since you all said so, then I will put these aside and go out for a walk with you."

Seeing Shen Zhenzhu agree, Dugu Jingyao immediately summoned her servants and ordered them to prepare the carriage. Soon, an exquisitely decorated carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Everyone boarded, and the carriage rolled forward, heading out of the mansion and towards the bustling market.

Along the way, Dugu Jingyao seemed to casually observe the street scene outside the window, but in reality, she had other plans in mind. She had gone out for two reasons: firstly, to relax and refresh her mind; secondly, she hoped to find some new inspiration in the city, perhaps even some insights into her own ideas.

However, things don't always go as planned. Even though she bought a few things and, after a tiring shopping trip, found a teahouse and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon tea, she still didn't get much inspiration. This really made her feel a little frustrated and helpless.

Finally, with no other options, she decided to ask Dugu Moyan and the others for advice to see if they could offer any helpful suggestions. Of course, at the same time, she also wanted to take this opportunity to visit and comfort her beloved brother.

When she returned to the palace, there was still some time before dinner time, so Dugu Jingyao simply went to Langyuexuan first.

Just as she arrived at Langyuexuan, Dugu Moyan was being replaced with medicine in the inner room by his attendant, Anying. At this moment, a servant in the courtyard raised his voice, seemingly intentionally, and shouted, "This servant pays his respects to the princess!"

Hearing this, Dugu Moyan immediately lowered his voice and instructed Shadow: "Hurry up and pack these things up quickly. Don't let Yao'er see it!"

Upon receiving the order, Shadow quickly responded and quickly helped Dugu Moyan secure the bandage around his arm. Then, he deftly stored the medicine and blood-stained bandages in a cabinet. In the blink of an eye, everything seemed to have never happened, and Shadow was standing beside Dugu Moyan again, restored to his original position.
