Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan was wearing a smoky blue long gown today, with nine eight-diagram jade stones of the same size strung together with silk thread on the same color and hung on his chest, making him look very slender and elegant. He also wore a jade crown, which made the contours of his eyebrows and eyes look more noble than when his hair was loose.

The stone table was covered with yellow cloth, on which was placed the fortune sticks commonly found in ordinary temples, but the temple priests were not like him. They had a cold and indifferent look on their faces, as if to keep strangers away.

The more excited the ladies were, the colder his face became. He had a beautiful face, but he could make the whole courtyard feel cold.

"Second Master, I don't want a fortune stick. I just want to know if it's appropriate for me to go out for an outing tomorrow?" The first noble lady had her back to Ye Zhen, and it was unclear which family she was from, but her voice sounded shy and timid.

Ye Zhen couldn't help but clench her handkerchief tightly, staring at Li Xuan, not knowing whether she was afraid of his expression or his lack of expression.

Li Xuan lowered his eyes, and his phoenix eyes were like a line with a very beautiful arc, like the compassionate but unkind Bodhisattva in the temple.

The woman waited for a while but he didn't speak, so she bit her lip and asked, "Will, will we meet someone?"

Dong Yuan burst out laughing, "Does the Imperial Master need to calculate this? I can see that she clearly wants a perfect husband to fall from the sky."

Li Xu'an's eyelashes seemed to move, and he said indifferently, "This is easy."

The woman was filled with anticipation, hoping that the master would show her the way, so that she could rest easy for the rest of her life! Unexpectedly, he said, "You will know it yourself the day after tomorrow, so there is no need to calculate."

woman:"···"

Before she could react, the lady behind her pushed her off the stool, "It's my turn!"

"Master, my fiancé has a strange temper and is not nice to his servants. Sometimes he gets angry when someone says something unintentional. But he is a good man and treats me very well."

"I, I will spend my whole life with him, can the Imperial Master give me some guidance or advice?"

The young lady bowed three times respectfully, eagerly waiting for Li Xuan to speak.

He glanced at the other person and said seriously, "Don't challenge his patience so easily."

The other party took a deep breath, his eyes were red, "Master, do you mean that he will one day treat me like he treats others?"

Li Xuan said, "No. It's just that if you touch him, he will have to draw a new line of tolerance for himself."

After a moment of silence so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, the young lady smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Imperial Master, for your guidance."

The third girl had a worried look on her face. "Master, my mother left me a few shops. I have worked very hard over the years, but I have not made any money. I have worked so hard..."

"Master, may I ask if the Feng Shui is wrong? How can I fix it to make it better? I don't believe what those people outside say. Now that I see you today, I believe everything you say."

Li Xuan let out an almost undetectable breath. Ye Zhen could tell that he was in a bad mood today. He was gentle and patient when he was calculating for the people in the market that day, but today, facing so many young ladies, he acted as if they owed him money.

Dong Yuan also said, "No wonder it is said that the Imperial Master is not interested in women. It seems that he really doesn't like women. If it were someone else, they would be so happy to be surrounded by so many beautiful women."

"But look at him, he has never been properly calculated."

Ye Zhen's breathing became a little tight, and she suddenly thought of his hands that were roaming on her body that night in the attic, which were hot and unforgettable. As a result, she couldn't even open her mouth to lie or agree with him.

At this time, Li Xuan spoke again, "It's not all in vain."

The girl's eyes lit up, but she heard him say nonchalantly, "You're tired too."

The girl was thinking, what? Just, just gone?

"Master Imperial Master! I'm really hitting a wall everywhere. It's all difficult. Please help me." The girl was about to kneel down and kowtow when Yun Zhui hurriedly stopped her.

Li Xuan showed no mercy, "Live well, and we will slowly figure out the rest."

The main point is, what do your difficulties have to do with me?

The girl was also impatient, and her face immediately turned red. "What are you talking about, Imperial Master? If I had a solution, why would I come to you for help? Since you are sitting here today, isn't it to help the poor and the needy? Why don't you help me?"

She was the first one who dared to question Li Xuan'an. The girls behind her were all nervous, fearing that they would anger the imperial teacher.

Li Xuan was indifferent, his cold voice was like ice water pouring down, "It is the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. I am not one of them, and I don't have that ability."

"You were appointed as the Imperial Master by His Majesty. You can save the country from prosperity to decline. Why don't you save me?"

Seeing that she was getting more and more angry, Yun Zhui coughed lightly and explained, "Miss, calm down. Although the Second Master didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. Miss, you are not destined to be rich, and you can only make a living and maintain the shop by enduring some hardships."

“Instead of holding on to an impossible goal, you should accept reality and live comfortably.”

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and the girl couldn't help but burst into tears, but fortunately she was persuaded by the maid next to her and hurriedly ran away.

Afterwards, no one rushed up to ask, for fear that the hope in their hearts would also be denied.

The surroundings are finally quiet.

The girls pushed each other, no one wanted to be the first, and no one was willing to leave like this.

Li Xuan looked around, and his eyes suddenly fell on Ye Zhen who was not far away. His pupils lit up, and the teardrop mole also turned slightly red. "What does Miss Ye want to ask?"

"Come closer."

The bony hand waved at her lightly, and Ye Zhen lowered her head in panic.

And in such a public place...

Dong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he pulled Ye Zhen forward and said, "I almost forgot that you have a good personal relationship with the Imperial Master. Let's go and pray for a child."

Ye Zhen explained in a low voice, "It's not a personal relationship."

Dong Yuan said, "No one outside has heard of it, and I don't know about it either. Doesn't this count as a private relationship?"

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Ye Zhen was afraid that Dong Yuan would say something earth-shattering again, so she could only stop talking.

Dong Yuan asked her to sit down first. "Although I am in a hurry, the Imperial Master called you by name, so you go first."

As soon as Ye Zhen raised her eyes, she met Li Xuan'an's warm eyes. He looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her to speak first.

Ye Zhen held the rosary on her left wrist, trying to keep her face calm, "How are you, Second Master?"

Li Xuan'an raised his lips slightly, "It's a bit busy, but it's not bad."

Ye Zhen just asked casually, but she didn't expect him to answer so seriously, which made her at a loss for words.

Seeing that there were some dark circles under his eyes, he subconsciously said, "Second Master, you need to rest more."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and his beautiful features seemed to come alive, "Okay."

Seeing that she was a little reserved, he pushed the lottery stick over to her and said, "What do you want to do, Miss? Shake the stick."

This move simply stunned the girls behind him. They begged and begged but they were not willing to sign, and the answer given by the Second Master was ambiguous. Why was he now asking the girls from the Ye family to beg?

"This Second Miss Ye has been in the Marquis' Mansion for half a year. I think she has a good relationship with the Second Master."

"Bah, when have you ever seen the Second Master take the initiative to make friends with others? The Queen asked several times, but the Second Master declined. Could it be that it is more grand than the Queen?"

"Hush! What do you know? Second Master is not a worldly person. When he gets close to people, he doesn't look at family background or rights, but fate."

"If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that you two are not that lucky."

"Humph, how could a concubine's daughter who had broken off her engagement be so lucky as to be appreciated by the Second Master?"

They were standing not far away and talking. No matter how much they looked down on Ye Zhen, their eyes were full of envy when they looked over at her.

Ye Zhen just wanted to thank him for sending Li Chengge away that day, but this was not the place to talk, so she said, "I'm fine..."

Before she finished speaking, Dong Yuan stuffed the lottery tube into her hand, "You have it!"

"Just ask which young man is lucky enough to marry you!"
