Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 293 "Dugu Jingyue" Celebrates Birthday

In the days that followed, this scene could be seen almost every day: either Dugu Jingyao came to invite, or Dugu Moyan came in person, or the brother and sister came together. Their only purpose was to discuss the detailed plan of the "birthday banquet" with the Chu brothers and sisters.

In order to ensure that the entire plan could proceed smoothly without being noticed by Liu Jingyue, the meticulous Dugu Jingyao even specifically begged Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi for help, asking them to find a way to entangle Liu Jingyue so as to buy more time for herself to carefully prepare this surprise party.

Hard work pays off. After countless heated discussions, repeated revisions and continuous improvements, the few people finally reached a consensus and successfully developed a perfect plan - they decided to hold Liu Jingyue's birthday party on their own vast ranch in the suburbs.

For the next ten days or so, everyone worked tirelessly day and night, pouring a lot of effort and sweat into every detail, from site selection and planning to on-site layout and decoration.

Not only that, they also ingeniously organized the female workers on the ranch to rehearse a series of wonderful programs, and prepared sufficient wood in advance, planning to light a blazing bonfire at night so that everyone can enjoy this happy and peaceful time.

Time flies, and in the midst of everyone's busyness and anticipation, Dugu Jingyue's birthday finally arrived as scheduled.

That morning, just as dawn broke and the light of dawn began to shine, Dugu Jingyao impatiently arrived at Shuxiangxie with a group of servants. Meanwhile, behind her, the swordsman carefully held a piece of traditional Chinese clothing, embroidered with exquisite patterns, as if it were a treasure from the hands of the Weaver Girl in the Heavenly Palace.

On this day, Liu Jingyue wasn't the only one required to wear traditional Chinese clothing; everyone invited was welcome to wear it. While it wasn't mandatory, as a family, everyone wanted to be together and in harmony.

As expected, Dugu Jingyao was also wearing a gorgeous national costume. Although the clothes were beautiful, they also slightly concealed her usual heroic spirit.

Today was Liu Jingyue's birthday. She had risen early in the morning and sat at her dressing table, examining herself. She was filled with joy and meticulous makeup, determined to look her most charming and stunning. Just as she was struggling with which outfit to choose, she suddenly heard voices outside the door greeting Dugu Jingyao.

Liu Jingyue quickly ordered Zhishu beside her, "Zhishu, go and bring my sister into the room!"

Zhishu accepted the order and turned to leave the inner room, just in time to meet another maid leading Dugu Jingyao and her group in. She found that Dugu Jingyao was wearing a national costume, and the maid behind her was holding a beautiful national costume in her hand.

When she saw the exquisite dress, she was stunned for a moment. But in just a moment, a glimmer of understanding flashed in her bright eyes. This gorgeous dress didn't appear here by chance, but was most likely prepared specifically for their little princess.

Thinking of this, a bright smile immediately blossomed on her face. She lightly moved forward with lotus steps, bowed slightly in a standard and elegant salute, and said softly, "Greetings to the Grand Princess."

Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao gently raised her hand and gestured gracefully, "Get up! Is Yue'er up?"

Zhishu quickly replied respectfully: "Yes, in reply to the eldest princess, the young princess has already gotten up and is now washing up in the room! If the eldest princess does not mind, let me take you in!" After that, she did not forget to make a gesture of invitation to Dugu Jingyao, with an extremely respectful attitude.

Soon, they arrived at the door. Zhishu cautiously reached out and knocked gently. A cheerful voice came from inside the room: "Come in." It was Liu Jingyue's voice.

When everyone pushed the door open and entered, they immediately saw Dugu Jingyao, dressed in a vibrant and colorful traditional Chinese costume. Her attire today was quite different from usual, diminishing her original dashing and heroic demeanor somewhat, yet adding a touch of the lively and agile air that was typical of someone her age.

Liu Jingyue looked at Dugu Jingyao in front of her, her beautiful eyes wide open, full of surprise and admiration. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, sister, this outfit is so beautiful! Did you prepare it specially for my birthday?" Her words were full of anticipation and joy.

Dugu Jingyao smiled and nodded, and replied: "Of course, not only that, but you, my sister, also have a share."

After saying this, she turned sideways and winked at Shi Jian behind her. Shi Jian understood and immediately stepped forward, holding a set of equally exquisite and beautiful ethnic costumes in both hands and presented them to Liu Jingyue.

Zhishu and Shili took the dress and unfolded it for Liu Jingyue to see. The embroidery was exquisite, and Liu Jingyue couldn't wait to try it on, so she asked Zhishu and Shili to put the dress on her.

After putting on the clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror again and again and was very satisfied with the outfit. Dugu Jingyao also nodded: "Yes, sister, you are the one who looks radiant! Okay, put on your makeup quickly, I'll wait for you in the flower hall in your courtyard."

Liu Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes, okay, sister, please wait a moment, I will be ready soon."

Liu Jingyue wasn't saying it, she was really quick, finishing everything in about a quarter of an hour. When she reappeared in front of everyone, she had already put on beautiful makeup.

Dugu Jingyao was full of praise for her younger sister. Liu Jingyue was so flattered by Dugu Jingyao's praise that she almost flew to the sky. She quickly said, "Sister, although today is my birthday, you don't have to praise me like that. I'll be flattered!"

The two smiled at each other. Dugu Jingyao saw that it was about time, so she said, "Let's go!"

Liu Jingyue nodded in agreement, and the two were about to set off, but Dugu Jingyao stopped Liu Jingyue: "Hey, Yue'er, wait a minute."

She pulled Liu Jingyue and took out a piece of cloth. Liu Jingyue looked confused and asked, "Sister, what is this?"

Dugu Jingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said softly to Liu Jingyue: "Sister Jingyue, come, turn around and face me."

Liu Jingyue turned around obediently, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation. Dugu Jingyao took out a soft strip of cloth from her sleeve and gently tied it over Liu Jingyue's eyes.

Liu Jingyue's vision went dark for a moment, but she quickly understood Dugu Jingyao's intentions. She must have wanted to give her a big surprise. So, she happily cooperated, a happy smile on her face.

After tying the cloth, Dugu Jingyao carefully took Liu Jingyue's hand, as if protecting a rare treasure. Then, she slowly guided Liu Jingyue forward.

Along the way, Liu Jingyue could only follow Dugu Jingyao's steps based on her feeling. Although she didn't know what was waiting for her ahead, she was extremely excited.

In this way, the two walked for a long time. Finally, Dugu Jingyao stopped and said gently: "Come, Yue'er, lift your foot and take another step forward."

Liu Jingyue did as she was told and suddenly felt that the ground under her feet was different. It was no longer the familiar stone pavement in the mansion.

At this moment, she had an idea: "Have we already walked out of the mansion? No wonder I always see Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Moyan running out frequently these days. It turns out that they are preparing a birthday surprise for me!" Thinking of this, Liu Jingyue couldn't help feeling a little sweet and touched in her heart, and at the same time she was more and more looking forward to the upcoming trip.

When they left the mansion, they found a beautifully decorated carriage waiting for them. Dugu Jingyao helped Liu Jingyue into the carriage, and after she was seated, she followed suit.

However, as soon as she got on the bus, Liu Jingyue couldn't wait to take off the blindfold, wanting to see what this mysterious surprise was. But just as she was about to succeed, Dugu Jingyao quickly stopped her, saying, "Hey, Yue'er, don't take it off so quickly. It's not too late to take it off when we get to our destination!"

After hearing what Dugu Jingyao said, Liu Jingyue had to temporarily put aside her curiosity and asked suspiciously, "Sister, it's just a birthday, why are you making it so secretive?"

Dugu Jingyao smiled slightly and deliberately kept the secret: "Hehe, I can't tell you now, you will understand it when the time comes." After that, Dugu Jingyao gently patted the back of Liu Jingyue's hand, signaling her to be patient.

Liu Jingyue had no choice but to give up. The carriage drove along the noisy street, but the noise soon died down. Liu Jingyue realized: "Could it be in the suburbs? Climbing in the wild? Yes, it turns out that ancient people could be so creative!"
