Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen was helpless, "I'm not in a hurry for this."

Dong Yuan didn't let her let go of the lottery box, "I'm in a hurry."

Ye Zhen noticed Li Xuan staring at her from the corner of her eye, and her face felt a little hot. She said to Dong Yuan, "This matter depends on fate. I won't waste my time. You go first."

She stood up to make room for Dong Yuan, and Li Xuan said gently, "You've held the lottery tube, and it's stained with your scent. Miss Dong won't be allowed to shake it again."

Is there such a thing?

Ye Zhen didn't believe it in her heart, but Dong Yuan did!

She wanted to pray for her sister to have a child, so it had to be accurate and very accurate. So she said to Ye Zhen with a bit of pleading, "Please have one."

Ye Zhen had no choice but to sit up straight, not daring to raise her eyes as if being suppressed by Li Xuan'an's gaze, and hurriedly shook the lottery box.

The sound of the skewers hitting the bamboo tube was sometimes neat and sometimes messy, but her heart was never on the skewers.

Li Xuan'an's fingers were right in front of her, his round nails gleaming with light. Although he hadn't done anything, he made her unconsciously increase the strength of her ten fingers holding the lottery tube.

"Snap" a stick fell out.

Dong Yuan picked it up, and like all the girls behind him, he looked at it with curiosity.

But in a flash, Dong Yuan's face turned cold, "This doesn't count. Did the lottery tube touch the edge of the table just now?"

"Shake it again."

At this time, some people had already reacted and covered their lips with their hands to laugh.

"Even if the Second Master wants to help her, it won't work. If a concubine's daughter who has broken off her engagement can find a better husband, my last name will be written backwards."

"Look at Miss Dong's face. It's probably hopeless."

Although Ye Zhen did not see the words on the fortune clearly, she could still see the three words "lowest fortune".

She didn't feel anything, but she couldn't bear to see Dong Yuan feel disappointed, so she said, "It seems so. I haven't done it before, so I'm not very good at it."

Dong Yuan nodded, "I think so too. Then, this one doesn't count. Shake it again."

Ye Zhen was about to decline, when Li Xuan'an's gentle voice sounded again, "Shake it again."

Ye Zhen's heartbeat suddenly paused, and she felt as if he was whispering in her ear that night. She shook her head quickly, "No, I don't have anything to ask for. And I really can't shake it."

The next second, Ye Zhen stood there in a daze.

Because Li Xuan'an's slender hand easily crossed over the table between them and gently grabbed her sunflower-colored long sleeves, making Ye Zhen unable to move as if she had been acupunctured.

As if he had predicted the future, his smoky blue long gown and Ye Zhen's smoky green Confucian skirt were very similar. At this moment, against the sunflower green backdrop, they gave the illusion that they were blending into one.

Ye Zhen looked at him in astonishment after a long while, her eyes full of "Let go, in front of so many people..."

Li Xuan tilted his head, a breeze-like smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, "I'll teach you."

"Miss Bao Er can draw a very good fortune."

Ye Zhen's pupils were trembling and her head was buzzing. She just hoped that she had heard it wrong.

But the discussions behind him suddenly disappeared, and the only thing left in the silent lobby was the warm smile on his face, and... Ye Zhen's heartbeat that was about to explode in his chest.

"you···"

She tried to say something to save the situation, but as soon as she opened her mouth she found her thoughts were cut off.

Even more shocked than her were the young ladies. They stared at Li Xuan without blinking, suspecting that the person sitting here was not the real imperial master. However, they had no evidence and could not think of any excuse to justify the imperial master's behavior.

Only Dong Yuan smiled foolishly, "This is a good idea."

Even when Ye Zhen's yard was surrounded by rebel soldiers in her previous life, she was not as helpless and nervous as she is now.

After finally regaining some of her thoughts, Li Xuan'an had his hands covering the back of her hands. The slight warmth and sandalwood scent made her speechless again.

His hands were big enough to wrap around her ten tender fingers, and then he clasped his hands together, leaving her no chance to escape.

At this moment, what seemed to be wrapped was not the hands, but Ye Zhen's breath.

She stared at her hands, feeling as if the air in her chest had been sucked out of her. How could this be possible?

Perhaps because he was reaching across the table, Li Xuan'an's cold voice seemed a little unstable, "Second Miss, please pay attention. If you are not sincere, it won't work."

Like a bewitchment, and also like an order, Ye Zhen subconsciously gathered her thoughts and looked at him with trembling eyelashes. Seeing that he looked relaxed, she wondered if he was teasing her on purpose.

Li Xuan led her to shake the stick box in an orderly manner. The sticks flew up and fell in unison, and there was no disorder at all. But if this continued... would any sticks be shaken out?

In fact, Ye Zhen didn't care about the skewer. She felt the warmth and slight sweat of his palm with the back of her hand. In addition to being nervous, she also felt inexplicably relieved.

Li Xuan stared at her and said, "Second Miss is blessed with great fortune. She will surely enjoy the happiness of having two wives in the future."

You know, there is no one in the Great Zhou who doesn't want to hear what the Imperial Master said, including the Emperor and Empress, but this is the second time he has spoken well of Ye Zhen Fu Ze in public.

The first time was at the Marquis' Mansion, where he spoke up for Ye Zhen in front of everyone, smearing Li Chengge and Zheng's face. Now he said this in front of many noble ladies, and others were envious.

Ye Zhen was extremely calm. If she was really blessed, how could she have died in her previous life?

She smiled bitterly, "Master, there's no need to comfort me. I actually... don't care about the future."

Li Xuan'an's deep eyes seemed to hide something, and the strength in his hands slightly increased. "It's not a consolation. I'm lending you my luck. You can do whatever you want in the future."

Ye Zhen lowered her eyes and held her breath, afraid that her breathing would reveal her panicked heart.

People who have died once, are upset again and again because of Li Xuan's words. Wasn't it said that the sickly Taoist priest was cold and heartless?

The sticks were still swinging back and forth in unison. Ye Zhen's eyes seemed to be staring at the stick tube, but they had no focus. Li Xuan'an's pair of phoenix eyes reflected her fair and beautiful face.

It seems that it is not that important whether you sign or not.

Ye Zhen was probably too nervous. She could actually feel his breath coming towards her. The sandalwood wrapped her up little by little. Finally, she couldn't help but asked, "When will it be better?"

The smile on Li Xuan'an's lips gradually deepened, "Not yet. Listen to the sound, it's too neat. I have to use some force to make the stick you want jump out."

He held Ye Zhen's hand tighter and penetrated her little by little along the gaps between her fingers.

Ye Zhen was nervous, her fingers were very close together, he leaned over, "Relax."

Ye Zhen hastily released her strength, and Li Xuan'an's fingers grasped the stick tube between her fingers, and the sound of the sticks shaking became chaotic.

"Just like that, don't use too much force."

"Do you think it has come out?"

His tone was bright and cheerful, as if he was not shaking the lots, but choosing something beautiful.

Ye Zhen raised her eyes following his voice, and indeed saw the signature on the person sticking his head out saying "excellent sign". She clearly had no request, but at this moment, she also smiled.

"Pah" the sticks landed smoothly on the table, and Dong Yuan was the first to jump up, "A very good stick! Ah Zhen will find a better husband!"
