Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Chapter 156 Peeling a Walnut

As soon as the carriage left, Ye Jinglan couldn't wait to say to Ye Zhen, "Sister, what a great opportunity just now!"

"The Imperial Master clearly wants you to ride in his car."

Ye Zhen glared at him and said, "The road is bumpy, I don't trust Yuanbao to take care of you."

"We still have Liuxia and Yulu! I'm fine, you go over quickly."

Ye Jinglan was afraid that he would delay the relationship between his elder sister and the Imperial Master. He had thought it through during this period of time. If the Imperial Master did not have that kind of intention towards his elder sister, he would not have allowed people outside to talk nonsense, and he would not have let his elder sister make a sweat towel for him.

What a great opportunity!

It was the first time Ye Zhen saw him anxious, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Second Master said that the new medicine makes you sleepy. Do you want to take a nap or let me give you an injection?"

Ye Jinglan knew that she was an excellent acupuncturist. When he first came to the Ye Mansion, Cui used Aunt Zhao to try to kill him through a maid, but Ye Zhen calmly killed the maid with a single needle.

Ye Jinglan still remembered it clearly, so he shuddered, "I'll sleep, I'll sleep alone!"

Ye Zhen glanced at him and muttered, "Children should stay out of the adult business."

Ye Jinglan:...

When they arrived at the city gate, Yinxiang, who had been waiting there for a long time, stopped the carriage and said respectfully, "The princess asked me to give some things to the state teacher to take on the road, and also some autumn clothes for Taoist Chen Buchu. Thank you for your help, Second Master."

Yun chased forward and said politely, "No need to give Second Master the things, we have brought everything."

Yun Zhui went to take the dress, but Yin Xiang refused to give it to him and snorted, "It's something the princess made herself."

That look says, you don't deserve it.

Yun Zhui did not get angry and retreated.

Seeing that he was quite perceptive, Yin Xiang walked to the curtain of Li Xuan'an's carriage and said, "Master, the princess is using the new brocade from the palace, which His Majesty gave to her half a month ago."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said this, she heard Li Xuan'an say coldly, "It's too expensive. I dare not accept it."

Yinxiang's smile froze. "The princess said that our wife passed away early, and it was Master Chen Buchu who treated her as his own daughter. This dress is a token of the princess's love. Please don't refuse it, Master."

Ye Zhen's carriage was right behind Li Xuan'an, and Yin Xiang spoke in a loud voice, so every word she said could be heard clearly.

It seems that Taoist Chen Buchu is very nice to Meng Qianru, he must like her.

Since she and Li Xuan'an were able to reach the stage of discussing marriage, I think both Dingyuan Hou and Taoist Chen Buchu were satisfied with Meng Qianru. Now, she has a loyal family and an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the people...

Even if Ye Zhen told everyone that Meng Qianru was actually a hypocritical woman, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

At this time, Li Xuan rejected Yin Xiang again coldly, "That's a matter between her and my mother. It has nothing to do with me."

"Besides, my mother is not in the Qing Sect now, and I don't know when she will return. Let the princess send the clothes herself."

Yinxiang didn't expect him to refuse so straightforwardly. Although the Imperial Master had a cold attitude in the past, he would not deny the princess face. But today, in front of so many people...

Yin Xiang was a little anxious, "Master, the princess has good intentions, how can you bear to offend her?"

Li Xuan said calmly, "It's called dignity if you value it yourself, but it's not dignity if you let others trample on you."

It was the first time that Ye Zhen heard such cold words from Li Xuan'an. She thought that if Meng Qianru were here, she would probably faint from anger again.

But she couldn't hide the pride on her face.

The carriage sped out, and Yinxiang hid by the city gate, watching them leave unwillingly.

We rode at full speed all the way and passed Qingfeng Town by noon, where we stopped at the post station to rest.

Rong Fei and Yuan Bao pulled the horses to the back to feed grass and water. Yun Zhui asked for two rooms. When ordering food, he was not sure what Ye Zhen liked, so he looked for Liu Xia for help.

Liuxia didn't refuse and ordered all the dishes that Ye Zhen and Ye Jinglan liked. Then she took out a silver ingot and threw it to the steward, "No need for change. Bring me some more hot water."

The steward's eyes lit up, "Okay."

Yun Zhui knew it was not the first time when he saw Liu Xia's action. His face was full of emotion. How could he be so arrogant when he was rich? He said he didn't need to look for it, so he didn't need to look for it?

Thinking about the years he spent with Li Xuan, although he didn't have to live in the open air, he still had to count money to make a living. Even though he had more money recently, he still had to renovate the house, so he had to save money.

Facts are facts, and we cannot embarrass our master right now.

Yun Zhui caught up with Liu Xia, looking unhappy, "You don't have to pay. I'll return the money to you later."

Liuxia didn't care, "No, it's not much money."

Yun Zhui was just pretending to be generous, which was completely different from Liu Xia who really didn't take it seriously. He looked a little uncomfortable, "When you are out, it's not right to let a woman pay. Besides, what's your status? If it gets out, people will laugh at you."

Liuxia paused, turned her head and looked at the other person seriously. Yunzhui felt uncomfortable being stared at, and subconsciously touched his cheek, "Is there something on my face?"

What he actually wanted to say was, are the words "poor" and "pretentious" written on his face?

Liuxia suddenly smiled, "No. If you want to pay it back, then pay it back. Next time... I won't take the initiative to give you money."

Liuxia has been with Ye Zhen for a long time, and she has always seen the Marquis's Mansion taking advantage of Ye Zhen. Suddenly, when she heard Yun Zhui say this, she felt happy for her own young lady.

After Liuxia returned to her room, she told Ye Zhen everything, her face full of satisfaction, "The Imperial Master is upright, and his subordinates are also strong-willed, totally unlike Li..."

Liuxia paused and didn't say anything else.

Ye Zhen didn't tell her that she already had this experience, she just calmly instructed, "Next time just say that it was Jing Lan who supported the Second Master."

After Ye Zhen washed and dressed, Yu Lu came in and said, "Second Master has changed the medicine for the young master. Would Second Miss like to go over and have some candied fruit?"

Ye Zhen didn't have much of an appetite, but she was afraid that Li Xuan would think too much, so she changed her clothes and went over.

Li Xuan was seen with his hair half loose, carefully placing candied fruits and nuts on the table. The teapot had just boiled, with steam rising up, making his handsome features look hazy and alluring.

He carefully picked out the walnut kernels from a pile of nuts, blew off the broken skin on top, and placed them carefully on a plate, repeating this many times without ever getting tired of it.

Ye Zhen was staring in a trance, but Li Xuan noticed that she didn't come in, so he stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and looked at her. His bright and gentle eyes touched her heart.

Li Xuan was still concerned that she didn't get on his carriage in the morning. He suppressed his throbbing heart and said sourly, "Jing Lan has gone back to his room to rest. If you want to see him, go next door."

Ye Zhen was always worried about the maid and Meng Qianru, but when she saw him drooping his eyes, she softened her heart and came in with her skirt lifted. "Who are you peeling all these nuts for, Second Master?"

"Princess Pingyang?"

Li Xuan was amused by her and pushed the fruit plate in front of her. "Who does she think she is? Second Master's nuts are only for sour people."

Ye Zhen lowered her head, her voice softer than before, and she didn't mind being the sour person, because she was indeed sour.

“I don’t like walnuts.”

Li Xuan picked up a piece of white and tender walnut meat and brought it to her mouth. "It's good for your body. Be obedient."

"I have been peeling them all the way, and my hands are all red."
