The gentle breeze swept through, extinguishing the candlelight inside the red lanterns, as if the courtyard closed its eyes to ignore what was happening inside the room.
The jade green chambers, the scent of fresh wood filled the air.
The window not far away was open, the breeze lifted Yun Qian’s smooth long hair, and a half-finished cup of tea sat on the table.
This scene was quite beautiful.
Xu Chang’an thought Yun Qian should be a cold and proud person, but... what she was doing now completely destroyed that image.
"M-miss, that’s enough, I’ve already activated my Spiritual Qi, I don’t need food," Xu Chang’an said, a faint rouge lip mark left on his cheek, his eyes looking intently at her, he seed quite uneasy.
Yun Qian had already fed him dinner, but the lady seed to be addicted, wanting to feed him dessert even after the al.
"I’m just feeding you a little supper, why are you resisting so much?" Yun Qian wondered about Xu Chang’an’s anxious appearance just now, feeling quite puzzled.
Her own husband couldn’t possibly be such an incompetent person.
"It depends on who’s feeding ," Xu Chang’an thought of Yun Qian before, holding a spoon and softly saying "ah~" to him, and he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye.
"This is improper, how can I let Miss serve ?" Xu Chang’an said helplessly.
"You’ve already eaten," Yun Qian’s expression was calm, she said slowly: "According to the rules, I should be the one serving you."
After all, she was Madam Xu, not just his Miss.
"There’s no saying that a wife must serve her husband," Xu Chang’an said seriously.
"Now you know I’m your wife," Yun Qian looked at him.
"..." Xu Chang’an sighed, about to speak.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qian hushed him, signaling Xu Chang’an not to speak. She stepped away in her embroidered shoes, and returned with a few freshly washed fruits from the kitchen.
"These are the fruits you brought," Yun Qian’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of affection.
"Mm." Xu Chang’an nodded, saying, "I brought these pears from the Steward Hall at Muyu Peak. I used so for pear juice for Miss today, it’s not an ordinary pear, it contains gentle Spiritual Qi. Eating it may not make one live longer, but it does invigorate blood and replenish Qi."
"You don’t allow to use a knife, so I haven’t cut it," Yun Qian handed the unpeeled, simply washed pear to Xu Chang’an’s mouth, saying, "Eat it."
This also counted as feeding.
"Miss truly listens to ," Xu Chang’an sighed, then gently took a bite, chewing slowly and elegantly.
With one bite, teeth marks appeared on the fruit, instantly releasing its fragrance, as a sweet aroma filled the air.
Seeing Xu Chang’an eat, Yun Qian was happy, and she took a small bite of the pear herself.
The sweet and sour taste was delightful, lifting her spirits.
Yun Qian patiently waited for him to swallow, then continued feeding him until only a core remained. She then wiped the moisture from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Was the pear delicious?"
"Delicious," Xu Chang’an nodded, truthfully speaking... although he had been fed his entire dinner, he still couldn’t get used to it. Earlier, he was too focused on looking at Yun Qian’s face up close to really taste the pear.
"Wen Li, does it count as a pear?" Yun Qian blinked, suddenly asking.
"Cough!"
Upon hearing Yun Qian’s nonsense, Xu Chang’an suddenly coughed violently, as if he had been choked.
"Miss, what are you talking about!"
"I was just wondering if she’s called Wen Li because she likes to eat pears?" Yun Qian said calmly, "Didn’t you say before that that Li Hua liked to eat this fruit."
"... Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I can’t keep up with Miss’s thoughts," Xu Chang’an promptly ended Yun Qian’s topic, saying, "I’ll go clean up the dishes."
"Weren’t we going for a walk?" Yun Qian stood up.
"On second thought, let’s not," Xu Chang’an looked at the darkness outside the window, "Nowadays, because of the Celestial Tribulation, many strangers have co to Celestial Bright Peak. It’s better not to go out to avoid any trouble."
"Because of the Celestial Tribulation, you can’t go out with ?" Yun Qian asked.
She thought the Celestial Tribulation brought about Xu Chang’an’s break and found it sowhat nice.
"What stops Miss from going out is not the Celestial Tribulation, nor the visitors from Celestial Bright Peak, but ," Xu Chang’an smiled softly, "Alright, next ti I’ll take you. For now... Miss, read and rest for a while. I’ll co to give you cupping once I tidy up the house."
"I understand," Yun Qian nodded, and once Xu Chang’an left, she began preparing for the upcoming acupuncture and massage, just as she did back in Beisang City.
Not in the bedroom, but rather in another room, as there would be so sll.
After washing her feet, Yun Qian walked into the room, leaving her embroidered shoes at the Mystic Passage.
The entire room was enveloped in a warm orange-red hue, with carpets neatly laid on the floor, walls adorned with calligraphy and paintings by Xu Chang’an, as well as so trinkets bought from Beisang City, such as masks and dolls that a young girl would like.
The table held a teapot and a plate of fresh preserved fruits.
A faint peony fragrance lingered in the room.
This room was tidily arranged by Yun Qian, used to read books and relax with her husband.
She took out a soft orange cushion with a hint of gold from the cabinet, placed it on the bed, and changed into loose clothing, her long hair lightly tied at the back of her head, exposing her clean neck.
The girl lay on the cushion, legs kicking as she read her book.
Just waiting for Xu Chang’an to co.
"..."
When Xu Chang’an ca in, he found Yun Qian had already prepared everything.
Even now, Yun Qian looked stunning, dressed in a close-fitting casual robe, black with a touch of red embroidery, the red embroidery strip ran from her waist to her neck like a dragon, adding a touch of nobility to her aura.
"You’re here, shall we start?" Yun Qian put down the novel in her hand, looking at Xu Chang’an, who was carrying a dicine box, her hand resting on the waist tie of her robe.
"No rush," Xu Chang’an put down the dicine box, approached, and lifted Yun Qian’s sleeve, placing his fingers on her fair wrist.
On the island, he had read many dical books. He couldn’t say he was proficient in dical theory, but he was more than capable of being a doctor in everyday life.
After a mont, Xu Chang’an sighed, "Miss’s body remains as it is, with no improvent in Yin deficiency."
The pulse was erratic and weak, like shrimp swimming in water, fluctuating and inconsistent, with three or five irregularities, stopping and resuming.
Her whole body was full of ailnts, such a frail constitution couldn’t be easily improved even with nurturing, Immortal Sect’s help would still be needed.
"What’s wrong with ?" Yun Qian asked.
"Judging by the pulse, Miss’s heart is burdened with worries, causing rebellion, stabbing pain, and obstructed ridians with poor circulation of Qi and blood," Xu Chang’an looked at her with concern, "Recently... has your heart been hurting again?"
