Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen was worried about A-di and wanted to ask Yuanbao to deliver the orchids, but she felt that it would be inappropriate to just let a servant go since Li Xuan had helped her out many times.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan was still in the tea stall, with at least twenty men, women, old and young standing in front of him, asking for his blessing one by one.

The owner of the tea stall brewed the best white tea and his face was filled with glory. Smoke was coming out of my ancestral grave.

It is understandable to pray for peace and wealth, but there are also people who pray for marriage and offspring... Li Xuan'an frowned his handsome brows, and the cinnabar pen was reluctant to put down.

"Second Master, I have been married to my husband for five years and have given birth to three daughters. If I don't have another son, my mother-in-law will ask my husband to take a concubine."

"If my concubine gives birth to a son, I will be divorced."

The lady really couldn't bear it any longer. She didn't care about her face and knelt in front of Li Xuan'an and cried, "My husband and I have a deep relationship, but my mother-in-law is too strict, and it's also because I'm pregnant."

"Please have mercy on me, Master, and give me a son. I am willing to give you my life."

Li Xu'an rubbed his brows and said, "You get up first."

Seeing that he had not yet drawn the talisman, the lady's face was filled with sorrow. This was her last chance to survive. If it failed, she might as well die outside.

Sensing that she was hopeless, Li Xuan ordered the Jinyiwei who was serving in front of him to keep an eye on the man, and asked helplessly, "Your husband's horoscope."

The lady choked on her tears and stood there in a daze, not reacting.

It was the maid beside her who reminded her with a happy face, "Madam, the second master asked about your horoscope, this is to give you a chance to survive."

The lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and she leaned forward and said a few words.

The moment she approached, Li Xuan straightened up and leaned back to avoid her, with a hint of displeasure on his gentle face.

Ye Zhen then thought of the time in her previous life when Ye Xue cried and complained that when the corner of her clothes accidentally touched Li Xuan'an, he immediately had Ye Xue kicked out. No wonder Ye Xue said that he had a grudge against women.

But in the case of Ye Zhen, he not only approached her several times and whispered to her in public, but he almost tore her apart that night in the attic. It seemed that it was not him who was poisoned by the Hehuan Powder, but him.

As Ye Zhen thought about it, her ears started to feel hot again.

Li Xuan pinched his fingers twice and said, "Your husband's family is not virtuous. Not to mention that they don't have the blessing of giving birth to a son, if they do some dirty business, it will be difficult for these three daughters to grow up safely."

The lady was extremely shocked. She bit her lip and started to cry again. It was heartbreaking to hear. "Please help my husband, Master."

Li Xuan sat there, his brows indifferent, unmoved.

Jinyiwei pushed the lady away, and he said, "Tell your mother-in-law to go to Baiyun Temple and repent. She knows what she did. Maybe you can have a boy in the future. If not, it's because she is not pious enough."

The lady was of course desperate, but Li Xuan gave her hope after all. Rather than dying with hatred, she wanted to grow old with her husband. After thinking for a moment, she bowed to Li Xuan before leaving.

Then two elderly men came to ask him to cure their serious illnesses. They talked about everything from their illnesses to trivial matters at home. Li Xuan listened patiently and drew the talismans very slowly and carefully.

It was clearly a bustling market, but as he sat there tall and graceful, the surrounding area seemed like a pure land.

From time to time, he chuckled and nodded to the old man, presented him with a peace amulet with both hands, and gave him a few words of advice, without any airs of a national master who was above everyone else.

It seemed that Ye Zhen had only truly understood what the common people called the "living immortal" today. Regardless of whether his Taoist magic was mysterious or not, ordinary people would be desperate if they came to him for help, and what Li Xuan gave them was the light to survive.

Even just a look.

It seemed that only in the midst of human suffering would he shine, and he was no longer as cold and distant as he was in the Marquis' Mansion. He was different from everyone Ye Zhen had ever met in her past and present lives.

Those who devote their entire lives to power and status turn a blind eye to the joys and sorrows of ordinary people and even the people next to them. Power is tempered in the cold and is meaningless.

The old man was flattered and could not afford to give him any gold or silver as reward. Although Li Xuan refused to take a penny, the old man still gave him the freshly picked flower in his arms, "Don't despise me, Second Master. This is a wild flower I brought for my wife. It's not valuable, but it's fresh."

The old man laughed and was proud of it.

Li Xuan didn't touch the flower. The smile on his face was as faint as a shadow. "I don't like flowers. You can take them back."

The old man was a little disappointed, but seeing that Li Xuan had put down his pen, he didn't want to argue any further and just bowed before leaving.

Ye Zhen turned around and looked at Yuanbao in confusion. He didn't like flowers, so why did he let him go to the flower garden outside the city to pick Phalaenopsis?

Ye Zhen's heart moved. He intended to let her meet Prince Yu's wet nurse!

While I was lost in thought, I heard Li Xuan'an say, "How long do you want me to wait, Second Miss?"

All eyes followed Li Xuan and fell on Ye Zhen. She had soiled her skirt while rescuing Prince Yu's wet nurse, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.

Everyone knew about the affair between Ye Zhen and Li Chengge, but Li Xuan had taken care of her many times, but no one else knew a word. At this time, the second master was very curious about the woman, both in his expression and tone.

Li Xu'an gave the Jinyiwei a stack of amulets and gave one to each person waiting. "The Imperial Master has something important to deal with. Please go back."

His amulets were hard to come by, and even powerful merchants might not be able to buy one, so everyone collected them like treasures and knelt down outside the tea stall to worship them.

Ye Zhen was called over by Li Xuan in front of everyone. He even personally made tea for her. Ye Zhen hurriedly took it with both hands and said, "How dare I trouble you, Second Master."

Li Xuan looked at her empty wrist and asked, "Why don't you wear that rosary? Do you not like it or do you not like me?"

What does this...have to do with that?

Tell her how to answer.

Ye Zhen took a sip of tea and tried to remain calm. "The rosary is valuable. I'm afraid it will get damaged if I carry it with me. It's disrespectful to you, Master."

"Disrespectful?" Li Xu'an's eyes curved slightly, his eyes were deep and bright, "I have done the most disrespectful things."

"You!" Ye Zhen was indeed anxious. She glanced at the Jinyiwei guarding outside, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. She immediately changed the subject, "Second Master knew that Prince Yu's nurse was in danger, so he specifically asked me to rescue her. Why?"

In her previous life, she was used to scheming against others, and she felt that Li Xuan had tricked her for some reason. Now that she was provoked by him, she asked directly.

Li Xu looked at her calmly, "Do you believe me?"

The cool scent of sandalwood lingered at the tip of my nose, and in front of me were his bony fingers with rounded nails that glowed slightly pink in the sunlight, and looked extremely clean.

Ye Zhen felt her heart beating faster. "I'm asking, how can you be sure that I will save her? What if I don't want to cause trouble and don't do anything?"

Li Xu'an only asked her, "Do you believe me?"

Ye Zhen had nowhere to escape, and was almost trapped in those deep phoenix eyes. Thinking of everything in the Marquis' Mansion and his timely appearance today, she said, "Believe it."

Li Xuan pursed his lips and smiled. The teardrop mole at the corner of his eye seemed to come alive, extremely vivid. He tilted his head as if coaxing a child, "You will know soon."

"Or maybe Miss Second is so smart, just think about it again."

Ye Zhen was at a loss as to what to do, but she let down her guard for no reason.

After drinking the tea, Li Xuan calmly took out the handkerchief made of her small clothes from her arms, looked at her with fiery eyes, and then gently pressed it on her lips.

It was just an ordinary action of wiping the corner of her mouth, but it made Ye Zhenru feel like she was being roasted on the fire, and her body started to burn.

Li Xuan folded the handkerchief in an orderly manner and put it into his arms with great care, which made Ye Zhen panic again. She clenched her fists tightly to maintain a little calm on her face.

But he was obviously in a good mood, leaning forward to smell the scent of the Phalaenopsis orchid, "Thank you, Second Miss, I like this flower very much."

Ye Zhen didn't believe it. Just now when the old man gave it to him, he said he didn't like flowers.

Li Xuan looked at her seriously and said, "Because you chose it, I like it."

Ye Zhen stared with her eyes wide open. She just thought about it for a moment, just for a moment!

But his face was very calm, "Second Master saved my brother, so I should serve you."

Li Xuan sighed softly and was about to say something, but the Royal Guard stepped forward to remind him, "Master, His Majesty and the elders are still waiting for you to return to the Warm Heart Pavilion."

Ye Zhen's eyelids jumped. Was he just passing by the market? Did he come here specially?

Li Xuanan walked out of the tea shed, and Ye Zhen bowed respectfully, "See you back, Second Master."

He paused and turned around, his eyes fixed on the tip of her small nose illuminated by the light. Ye Zhen knew he was looking at her and held her breath.

A few short seconds seem as long as a lifetime.

Li Xuan said softly, "I feel at ease when I wear the rosary."

Ye Zhen's heart, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly dropped and softened.
