Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1819

Mr. Ye Xun was indeed a strange man. Apart from talking to his white-haired apprentice Zhuo Qiran, he was too lazy to even raise his eyelids to others, and his whole body exuded a sense of coldness and arrogance that kept strangers away.

Since boarding the ship, he has not even seen the princess.

With such behavior, anyone could see that Miss Beihui, the most popular girl around the princess, was unhappy.

This maidservant, who has always been good at dealing with people, has expressed her dissatisfaction with Mr. Ye Xun both privately and openly.

Everyone who knew her well knew that Miss Bei Hui was the most considerate and worldly-wise, and her actions and words were always flawless. Her attitude inevitably made people speculate - could this be the princess's intention?

Zhuo Qiran felt very sorry and came to explain to the princess in person. Bei Hui led him into the cabin where the princess was meeting guests.

The cabin was elegantly furnished. A rosewood table by the window was set with celadon tea sets, and tea smoke rose from it. The moon-white gauze curtains on both sides were gently blown by the river breeze, casting swaying light and shadows on the floor.

On the east wall hangs a painting of "Cold River and Clear River", with sparse brushwork, which somewhat echoes the surging river outside the window.

The moment Zhuo Qiran stepped into the inner cabin, his heart suddenly jumped, and his chest felt numb. He subconsciously pressed his chest, knowing that this was the restlessness caused by the encounter between the natal Gu and the sub-Gu.

Looking up, I saw the woman sitting in front of the screen. She was wearing a plain silk dress that looked like sky blue after rain, with a white jade hairpin in her hair. She had no makeup on and her eyes were deep and cold.

Zhuo Qiran's ears suddenly burned. He could clearly feel that the life-definition Gu dormant in his heart was frantically spreading its golden wings, and every scale was filled with the trembling of closeness and warmth.

Bei Hui couldn't help but remind him softly, "Master Zhuo, the princess is here."

Zhuo Qiran came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Shi Anxia, ​​"I pay my respects to the princess."

Shi Anxia raised her eyes, a faint smile on her lips, "Master Zhuo, please take a seat."

Zhuo Qiran did not sit down, but stated his purpose directly, explaining to Shi Anxia, ​​"Master has always been a loner and is not good at interacting with others. I hope you can forgive me." After a pause, he added, "He has always disliked others to serve him closely. From now on, I will deliver the meals."

Shi Anxia nodded slightly, "It's okay, sir, please do as you please. If you need anything, just tell Bei Hui."

In this way, Wang Zhong, who had just got a few days of easy work and doubled his monthly salary, lost this good job again.

Shi Anxia asked, "Is your master in good health?"

Zhuo Qiran nodded, "He is in good health, but he has been in poor spirits recently and needs more rest."

Shi Anxia felt relieved, "That's good." He didn't ask why he was feeling so tired.

Zhuo Qiran took out three pieces of blood jade from his bosom and handed them over with trembling fingertips. The jade was dark red like solidified blood, and faint golden patterns could be seen in the sunlight.

He presented it respectfully, "This is a gift from my master to the young marquis and the two young princesses. I hope the princess will accept it."

The blood jade was cold to the touch, but it gave off a strange warmth the moment it touched the skin, as if it was pulsating with life. Shi Anxia lowered her eyes and saw golden threads flowing in the jade, outlining a mysterious totem in the blood-red chalcedony - it was the "Phoenix Nirvana" recorded in ancient books.

Seeing her solemn expression, Zhuo Qiran explained in a gentle voice: "Princess, don't be alarmed. This is the 'Phoenix Blood Jade'." He paused, as if he was considering his words, "This jade can nourish children's congenital deficiencies. In case of emergency, it may even save a life."

"Sir, you are so thoughtful." Shi Anxia gently put the blood jade into her sleeve. When she raised her eyes, they were clear and bright. "Thank you for me. Just say... I accept this gift on behalf of the children."

She asked Bei Hui to fetch a red sandalwood cloud-patterned wooden box, which also contained a piece of jade. "This is a return gift. Please ask Master Zhuo to pass it to Mr. Ye Xun for me."
