Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan was in a very good mood.

I heard that Li Chengge had upset his stomach due to drinking these past two days, and he specially asked a Taoist boy to bring him medicine. Li Chengge thought he was making fun of him and didn't respond well.

Ye Xue knew that Li Xuan'an's medicines were all good stuff, so she accepted them politely. As a result, the Taoist boy gave her another one. Ye Xue didn't understand why, but the Taoist boy said calmly, "Second Master said that the general has been drinking or having fun outside recently, so he asked Auntie to take care of herself."

Ye Xue was confused.

How could that kind of person care about me for no reason?

She was worried, so she asked Hongluo to take the medicine outside and ask the doctor, only to find out that it was something similar to contraceptive soup! Ye Xue was almost angry and fainted. She was anxious that she had been with Li Chengge for so long, but her stomach had not moved. During this period, because of Qin Yu's matter, Li Chengge didn't want to touch her.

But she didn't expect Li Xuan to mock her!

The Taoist boy returned to Baoyue Tower and told Li Xuan, "Mrs. Xue was so angry that she lost her temper and complained to the general. The general was drunk and kept calling Miss Qin's name."

"The two of them had another fight."

The Taoist boy has been with Li Xuan for so long, but this is the first time he has seen him do such a... nasty thing? Normally, even if the East Courtyard was in turmoil, he would not bother to raise his eyelids, but since Miss Ye and the general became enemies, the Second Master has even done something like inviting lightning to strike people.

Li Xuan fiddled with the peach wood rosary beads, and all he could see was Ye Zhen's current appearance. She smiled at him so easily and beautifully, but she was so nervous about Madam Fang's unnecessary curse, and solemnly asked him to be safe.

It's been too long, really too long since anyone cared about him like this.

So even when he closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved beautifully, "She has means and strategies, and her subordinates are also smart. With just a few words, she provoked Xue Ming's anger and made it impossible for my brother to inherit the title."

"Let's ignore my brother's brain. He should have stayed on the battlefield. Without Ye Rong and the Cui family, he doesn't even have the qualifications to compete in a place like the capital where people are eaten without leaving any bones."

"But he is lucky. Ye Zhen was able to protect him all the way to success." Li Xuan sneered, his voice full of mockery and disdain, "You will suffer the consequences if you do evil."

More importantly, he had paved the way for such a long time, and everything became smoother while protecting Ye Zhen.

Prince Yu was eliminated so quickly, much faster than he had originally expected.

If the road ahead is smooth, he will be able to give her a promise sooner. Although he cannot say it clearly at the moment, judging from what happened today, she will understand and is willing to understand.

Li Xuan fumbled with the silver bracelet on his wrist and said silently, "You are blessing me, right?"

Ye Zhen also had a sleepless night, so she simply got up to sort out the account books of Cui's shop.

The dowry of Ye Rong that she brought back before was ostensibly returned to Cui, but in reality all the people in the shop were her own. Cui had not been in the mood to take care of it during this period, and now that it was legitimately in her hands, Ye Zhen didn't have to be polite anymore.

Why not eat the fat meat that is right in front of you?

She cut the Gordian knot and dealt with everything she could control, leaving the rest of the Cui family members hanging. On the surface, it seemed that they were left for Ye Yunsheng and Aunt Zhao to live on, but in fact, the Cui family resented the Ye family for taking advantage of their misfortune. Even if the backbone was killed, the thoughts of the loyal servants should not be underestimated.

Whenever Ye Yunsheng couldn't get any advantage, he would always come to her for help.

He will pay back what he owes his mother for the rest of his life. He should learn from this lesson so that he can be a person who can see things through to the end in his next life.

After sorting out the account books, Ye Zhen stretched himself lazily. The sky in the east was already turning light.

Liuxia made some ginseng soup, and seeing the dark circles under her eyes, she felt distressed, "Second Miss, you can't keep doing this, or you'll get sick."

Ye Zhen felt relieved. Apart from the fact that Li Xuan still needed some time and work to sort out, she could finally say that she was relieved.

"It's okay. I don't feel tired."

Liuxia naturally didn't believe it, "You are still trying to be brave."

Ye Zhen really didn't feel that tired. "It's true. Look, my injuries have healed quickly these days. I didn't even get a fever after being caught in the rain. If I didn't have the energy, I wouldn't bother looking at these accounts."

Liuxia thought about it and realized that it was true, but she was still worried. "The flesh and blood body is not made of steel. Who knows where it might be. We must not be careless."

"I will go to Nan'an Hall today and find a chance to ask the Second Master."

Ye Zhen paused while drinking soup, her eyelashes drooping inadvertently, "Go and tell Jing Lan later to get him ready to go to Nan'an Hall in the morning."

"The reason I didn't tell him yesterday was because I was afraid he would be too happy to sleep."

Liuxia was also happy when she thought of the young master's surprised look, "Second Miss, are you still wearing the light yellow dress when you go to Nan'an Hall today?"

Ye Zhen put down the soup spoon, gently pressed the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said lightly, "Wear the Yang Fei-colored dress with dark flowers and flowing clouds."

Liuxia frowned, "Nan'an Hall is full of Taoists today, shouldn't they dress more plainly?"

Ye Zhen raised her eyes slightly. Although there was light in her eyes, it was not as bright as usual. "Yesterday I promised A Yuan that I would go shopping with her today. She and I haven't gone out together for two or three years, so I have to dress more lively, so that others will not think that the Ye Mansion is gone and I, Ye Zhen, am living a miserable life."

Liuxia frowned even more tightly, as if she had heard something important, and asked in surprise, "You, you are not going to go with the young master to watch the second master's conversation?"

"Jinglan likes those, but I don't."

"Just let him go."

Ye Zhen pretended not to care, "Yes, prepare some gifts and let Yuanbao take them with him."

Liuxia was still surprised, "How can you not go?"

In the morning, Yuanbao pushed Ye Jinglan to Nan'an Hall early.

Li Xuan arrived earlier than them. He wore a long gown embroidered with silver cloud patterns, a jade crown in his hair, a peace buckle repaired by Ye Zhen on his chest, and a green towel embroidered with bamboo in his arms, deliberately revealing a corner of it for fear that others would not see it.

Ye Jinglan, on the other hand, was dressed in plain clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand. The landscape painting on the fan complemented his current temperament. Even though he was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, his refreshed look revealed a scholarly air that was hard to ignore.

Li Xuan only realized today that he and Ye Zhen looked 60% similar.

As soon as Yuanbao arrived, he presented the gift. Ye Jinglan said a few polite words. Li Xuan kindly asked him how he was feeling, which attracted the attention of other Taoists.

"Jinglan is doing well, thank you for your concern, Master."

Li Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "You are like this now, and your sister is happy too."

After saying that, he looked out the door again, but still couldn't see Ye Zhen. The smile on his face unconsciously faded a lot, "By the way, why don't I see your sister?"

Ye Jinglan didn't know that the person he actually invited yesterday was Ye Zhen. At this moment, he just thought it was a casual question from the national teacher, and said, "Sister has something to do today and can't come with me."

"But don't worry, I'll just be there to listen and won't disturb anyone."

Can't come because of something?

Li Xuan'an was afraid that something important had entangled her, and there was some anxiety in his eyes, "What is it? Do you need my help?"

Ye Jinglan smiled and said, "Miss Dong asked my sister to go shopping together."

"Is it already agreed?"

Ye Jinglan hadn't figured out why the Imperial Master was asking so much, so he thought for a moment and replied, "It should have been arranged yesterday morning."

Li Xu'an felt a little uncomfortable. Since he had made an appointment before him, why didn't he tell him yesterday?

Come to think of it, what he said yesterday was indeed to invite Ye Jinglan.

Alas, Li Xuan'an's mood plummeted to the bottom, and he became visibly cold.

He asked the Taoist boy to take Ye Jinglan to a seat by the window. Elders and Taoist boys from various factions came in one after another and the conversation began on time.

Ye Jinglan was originally waiting with great interest for Li Xuan to reach the pinnacle of Taoism, but gradually he found that Li Xuan didn't even have the interest to refute, as if this conversation was just a formality. Instead, it was Taoist Master Yu Chenzi who debated with the scholars and saved the Qing Sect from chaos.

Later, Li Xuan coughed a few times, and then Yun Zhui supported him to the back, and Ye Jinglan also felt bored.

Back hall.

Li Xuan took a sip of water to moisten his throat, tightly grasping the sweat towel in his hand, with an indescribable loss in his eyes.

I felt that she had stayed up all night yesterday and thought she was as impatient as I was to wait for the dawn.

Never mind, she and Dong Yuan have a good relationship, and shopping is indeed better than listening to these stinky Taoist priests quibbling. The only pity is that he is also a Taoist priest, so he can't accompany her shopping openly.

Perhaps because he wanted to see her too much but failed, Li Xuan wanted to sense where she was and suddenly found that she didn't bring the tourmaline rosary today.

A feeling of being unable to grasp it made him more and more uneasy.
