Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Because of his master, Yun Zhui couldn't stand up straight in front of Rong Fei. Along the way, he did whatever Rong Fei said and did whatever he was asked to do without any complaints.

Every time Yun Zhui showed his enthusiasm for no reason, Rong Fei couldn't help but look back at the carriage, sometimes with sharp eyes, sometimes with doubts. Because he couldn't help but wonder if the Second Master had done something to the young lady, why did this guy act like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken?

So Rong Fei turned back after a while to ask Ye Zhen if she wanted to rest? Want to drink some water? Want to get out of the car and stretch her legs?

Ye Zhen rejected them all one by one, and she spoke very quietly each time, for fear of disturbing anyone.

Rong Fei was anxious but helpless, so he naturally looked bad to Yun Zhui. When Yun Zhui saw that even he was like this, he wondered why the Second Master didn't restrain himself.

The car was cozy and comfortable, but outside it was excruciating, and we entered Hanzhou just like that.

Li Xuan originally thought that it was some wealthy businessman who wanted to ask him to bless his family's fortune, but when he saw the person, he realized it was Yao Zhaoan, the governor of Hanzhou.

This man was notoriously cunning, and had connections with Prince Yu and the Crown Prince. When Prince Yu fell, he was able to escape unscathed. With his support, the Yao family had several younger generations doing well in business, so naturally Yao Zhaoan would not be short of money.

Li Xuan was surprised, but his expression was as cold and indifferent as usual, "I didn't expect that Lord Yao, who is far away in Hanzhou, is also a pilgrim of the temple master."

This sentence hit Yao Zhaoan's face lightly, and he was still smiling, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in the words. "Whenever the Imperial Master is in the capital, he will go to Baiyun Temple every month to provide free medical treatment to the poor people. I am stupid, but I am willing to follow the Imperial Master and do my part for the people."

"So many people have been waiting for a whole day, Baiyun Temple must prepare some food and fruits."

When Yao Zhaoan smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, but that smile did not seem gentle at all, but rather gave people a sense of cold uneasiness.

Yao Zhaoan stepped forward, bowed, and like a eunuch serving nobles in the palace, he stretched his hands over his head to support Li Xuan.

Ye Zhen came over, and Li Xuan helped her get out of the car by the arm, ignoring Yao Zhaoan. "I have met Lord Yao no more than three times in total. From what you said, I have to thank Lord Yao."

"I dare not, I dare not, Imperial Master, you are embarrassing me."

The smile on Yao Zhaoan's face finally froze for a while, not because of Li Xuan's words, but because of Ye Zhen's appearance! He was so focused on the Imperial Master that he didn't even notice such a pretty girl following behind the carriage.

There has never been a woman around the imperial teacher. Who can tell him who this big maid who serves him closely is?

Yao Zhaoan was shocked and couldn't help but look at Ye Zhen twice.

Li Xuan immediately blocked Ye Zhen with half of his body, "Master Yao, if you have any trouble, please tell me as soon as possible. I don't have much time left in Hanzhou."

Yao Zhaoan was stunned for a moment, because he could clearly feel that the Imperial Master's tone was unhappy, and the cold air coming down from him was even stronger than before.

"It's not a big problem. It's just that the business of several nephews in our clan is not going well. Someone saw it and said that it might be better to help our ancestors move their graves."

"It just so happened that you were passing by, so I boldly asked the Imperial Master to select a precious piece of land for the ancestors of the Yao family."

"It is my fault for troubling the Imperial Master with such a small matter. The main reason is that the plums from Hanzhou have come down, and I would like to invite the Imperial Master to taste them on the way."

Yao Zhaoan's words were flawless, which made it difficult for Li Xuan to get angry.

Yun Zhui didn't think so much and stepped forward and said, "Master Yao is colluding with the master of Baiyun Temple to plot against our master. Everyone in the Great Zhou knows that the Second Master never considers feng shui!"

Yao Zhaoan was the governor of a state after all, how could he allow a small follower to offend him like this? It was obvious that Li Xuan had no intention of stopping him. Moreover, he did something really unkind, so he just swallowed his anger and nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, you are right. It is me who is ignorant."

Yun Zhui was about to say something, but Li Xuan spoke up, "I will do what I promised the Master."

"Master Yao, please lead the way."

Yao Zhaoan was overjoyed. "I have asked my wife to prepare lunch. Please come to your house to rest."

Li Xuan'an's attitude was very cold from beginning to end, but he exchanged glances with Ye Zhen. The two of them didn't say a word, but Yao Zhaoan felt as if they were talking with their eyes?

He followed behind and carefully looked at Ye Zhen all the way. He felt that this maid had nothing to do with the maid in terms of temperament and figure. Which maid has such a straight back?

Even the aunts who serve the Queen in the palace are not as attractive as her.

Because Li Xuan had been holding Ye Zhen's arm, she also kept her head down properly. Yao Zhaoan couldn't see her appearance clearly. Unexpectedly, Li Xuan leaned over and said a few words to her. Ye Zhen turned her head to look at Li Xuan.

The smooth forehead, straight nose, rosy lips, and even the gentle eyes almost made Yao Zhaoan stunned.

Yun Zhui was right beside Yao Zhaoan and asked coldly, "Master Yao, what are you looking at?"

Yao Zhaoan came back to his senses then and felt that he had been rude. After all, he was a governor and had seen all kinds of women. How could he be attracted to a maid?

Even so, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this girl the imperial master's maid?"

Yun Zhui wanted to say yes, but seeing that his master's eyes were almost glued to the Second Miss, he could not nod and said impatiently, "You also want to inquire about the people around the Second Master?"

"Master Yao broke the Second Master's rules and even spared the people around the Second Master?"

Yao Zhaoan swallowed and silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I dare not, I dare not."

That's right, he had calculated the Baiyun Temple Master and Li Xuan'an, and asked Li Xuan'an to come to Hanzhou in the name of a pilgrim, on the pretext of asking questions. Because the Feng Shui of the ancestral tomb is not something that any Taoist priest can choose, the best Taoist priest in the Great Zhou is the national master.

As long as the Imperial Master can choose a good place, the Yao family will have a good life in the future, and it is worth taking some risks. But in the final analysis, although Li Xuan'an is the Imperial Master, he is not a powerful official. In the capital, he has the support of the emperor, and the civil and military officials will be wary of him. Outside the capital, he is just a Taoist priest. A local tyrant like Yao Zhao'an actually does not think he is a threat from the bottom of his heart.

Others said that the Imperial Master was not influenced by worldly matters, but Yao Zhaoan felt that they were incapable of tying down the Imperial Master with the mundane world.

As soon as Li Xuan arrived at the gate of the provincial government, he was suddenly recognized by the people. Then a huge crowd rushed over and knelt down to worship him excitedly.

Li Xuan immediately protected Ye Zhen behind him. The hand that was originally gently placed on her forearm turned into a tight grip on her wrist. His phoenix eyes suddenly stared at Yao Zhaoan. His black and gold pupils were full of coldness, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

At that moment, Yao Zhaoan felt a chill in his heart, as if he was going to be torn into pieces by five horses.

Ridiculous. Even if he stood at the top, he was still a compassionate and forgiving Taoist priest. How could he have such a strong murderous aura?

Yao Zhaoan pretended to be surprised and rushed to the front to call out to the guards in front of the palace gate, "Protect the Imperial Master! Quick!"

The people knelt in half the street, and without exception, they were all asking for the imperial master's blessing.

Yao Zhaoan tried to persuade Li Xuan earnestly without any airs of an official, but even Ye Zhen knew that he was doing it for Li Xuan to see.

I had been walking all this way, but I was recognized in front of the provincial government gate. What a coincidence.

"Everyone, hurry up and get up. The Imperial Master has been traveling all the way. Let him take a rest first."

The crowd was so excited that they refused to listen to the advice. Some women with loud voices shouted, "If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll never have the luck to see the Imperial Master again in my life."

"Please bless me, Master. I kowtow to you."

Many people also cried excitedly and shouted, "Master, please bless us! Master, please have mercy!"

Yao Zhaoan frowned, "Aren't you embarrassing the Imperial Master?"

Ye Zhen hid behind Li Xuan'an, her breath ruffling his hair, and whispered, "This Lord Yao has really planned everything out. He is betting on the Second Master with the people. Even if you are angry, you can't get angry with him. Afterwards, you can still leave the Second Master with the good name of blessing Hanzhou."

"I'm afraid it has been planned for a long time."

Ye Zhen didn't like being played around, so her face turned cold. "The head of Baiyun Temple must have received a lot of benefits. Second Master, don't stay there in the future."

Li Xuan'an's face warmed up a little when he heard this, because Ye Zhen subconsciously regarded him as one, so he felt sorry for him and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ye Zhen saw that Yao Zhaoan was only pestering with words but had no actual effect of persuading Li Xuan to return. He was just waiting for Li Xuan to lose patience and speak.

She said in a deep voice, "I'll go tell them that the Second Master is not feeling well."

Li Xuan pinched her wrist and said, "No hurry. Yao Zhaoan incited the people to keep me here. I have to teach him what it means to love the people like one's own children."
