Liu Qinglan watched helplessly as the Queen put the emerald green hairpin back on, and her expectations were instantly dashed.

At this time, the little fairy Liu, who had just come out of the mountains, did not know that there was a word in the way humans interact with each other, called "teasing".

In other words, she had no idea that the Queen was playing a prank on her to make her happy!

Liu Qinglan's eyes were blank, and all she was thinking about was that she would have to rely on herself in the future. It was absolutely impossible to expect the boss of the harem to give her a personal item on her own initiative, so she could only take it away secretly like stealing a round fan.

Fortunately, she didn't notice the round fan in her sleeve.

Liu Qinglan comforted herself and felt a little better.

But, she doesn't want to be a thief forever, meow...

Liu Qinglan looked at the Empress with a sense of grievance. Her demands were not high; she would be satisfied with just a few small things. She didn't even want these things; as long as she could stay by her side and absorb her spiritual energy every day, that would be great.

Xie Xuanzhao adjusted her hair bun gracefully, with a smile in her eyes as she looked at the aggrieved little cutie in front of her. Her big black eyes were filled with water, as if they were about to drop tears in the next moment.

Oh, it seems that he really likes his own...Bi Zan.

Xie Xuanzhao raised his hand and finally pinched her fair, soft cheek, which still had a bit of baby fat, and it felt great.

She remained expressionless and said, "Princess Yue, you must practice well and come here every day from now on. You are not allowed to be lazy. Understand?"

Liu Qinglan blinked and nodded obediently.

Xie Xuanzhao disliked rouge, so her delicate hands were neat and tidy, her slightly long nails clean and sleek, a cherry blossom pink, full of pink. At this moment, her fingers happened to rest on Liu Qinglan's snow-white face, and she pinched the delicate little cheek underneath, discreetly and carefully.

Then he withdrew his hand with satisfaction, his face showing no expression as if nothing had happened and he definitely did not take advantage of this little beauty.

Liu Qinglan stupidly opened her eyes slightly, feeling extremely surprised: This palace boss just pinched her face!

Still sneaky!

Completely unaware that her actions had been noticed by the other party and still thinking she had done it inconspicuously, the Queen Mother turned around and left with an indifferent expression, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.

Liu Qinglan slowly raised his hand and touched his face, and it felt like a small flame was burning on his touch.

In the past, if a fairy pinched her furry cheeks, she would definitely slap her with her claws!

But now, she was not disgusted at all, and even felt a little excited.

Led by the chief palace maid Yan Mo, Yu Cainv entered Chenxin Palace and saw the newly favored concubine who was being punished to stand with one hand on her cheek, looking lost in thought.

Yu Cainv shuddered, then cautiously glanced at Yuepin, who seemed to have become idiotic and lost her soul. They all said the Empress was very capable, and it seemed so. However, in just one day, this little concubine seemed to have gone mad.

"Yu Cainv, don't look around. The queen is waiting for you in the hall." Yan Mo coughed softly and reminded those who forgot to walk.

Yu Cainv immediately collected her thoughts and followed Yan Mo nervously into the hall.

She was originally just a young girl from the south of the Yangtze River who washed clothes by the river. After many twists and turns, a relative in the capital heard about her beauty and he had connections, so he successfully sent her to the palace.

Unfortunately, her family background was humble, and the emperor didn't like her. Since entering the palace, Yu Cainu's life had been no different from that of an ordinary palace maid. She had recently begun to accept her fate, content to grow old in this harem with food and clothing.

But things didn't seem as simple as she thought.

For some reason, the queen set her sights on herself again.

Yu Cainv bit her lip, feeling sympathetic. When would these noble ladies let go of a commoner like her whose life was as worthless as a mustard grass?

Liu Qinglan was brought back to her senses by a breath of air. She shuddered and looked at the pretty lady passing by.

Yu Cainu had originally possessed a beautiful face and features, a delicate and graceful demeanor, like a lotus in early summer. But now, a dark aura lingered around her, a trace of decay. Liu Qinglan felt a chilling, almost autumnal frost wash over her.

Yan Mo lifted the door curtain and led Yu Cainv in.

The black gas that was always lingering behind Yu Cainv seemed to have consciousness. It suddenly turned and rushed straight towards the unsuspecting Liu Qinglan.

Just as Liu Qinglan was about to use his demonic power to block the oncoming black energy, a peach petal floated down from the sky.

The pink petals directly split the black air, then fell to the ground and disappeared.

Liu Qinglan slightly opened his cat eyes and clearly saw that the black gas was condensing again, but it felt the pain and dared not attack again. Instead, it returned to Yu Cainv.

Liu Qinglan was not well-trained and had no idea where this black gas came from. She had just witnessed how powerful it was, and she began to worry about Yu Cainv.

In the imperial kitchen not far away, the ancient peach blossom under the peach tree slowly spit out a trace of blood.

But in the eyes of cook Tao Xi, the bloodstains were nothing more than edible peach gum, beneficial for beauty and skincare. She carefully scraped off the excess peach gum with a small knife, preparing to make peach gum soup for Kang Zhaoyi later.

The Peach Blossom Demon really wanted to touch her serious expression at the moment, but she knew that she couldn't do this simple action.

Yu Cainv, who was completely unaware of the undercurrents on the other side, stepped into the hall, knelt down tremblingly to pay her respects, not daring to look at the bright and elegant Queen sitting opposite her.

Xie Xuanzhao didn't know why this little concubine was so afraid of him. Almost every time they met, she was so scared that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Come sit next to me."

"I dare not!" Yu Cainv almost knelt down and kowtowed.

Xie Xuanzhao shook his head helplessly. "You don't need to be so afraid of me. I summoned you here to ask if anyone in the palace has bullied you recently."

Yu Cainu still didn't dare to look up, "Replying to the Queen, no. I am fine."

"Then why do you look so haggard and as thin as a person in famine." Xie Xuanzhao looked at the top of her head that was exposed. Her black hair looked like dead grass, having lost its former blackness and luster. It seemed that one could grab a handful of it with just one hand.

Yu Cainu said weakly, "I am truly fine. Your Majesty, there is no need to ask."

Seeing that she really didn't want to talk, Xie Xuanzhao had to give up. "Since there's nothing else, you can go back first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Cainv was as if she had been pardoned. She quickly retreated and even fell when she stood up.

After they left, Xie Xuanzhao turned to Yan Mo and instructed, "Send some nourishing food over, and check who Yu Cainu has been in contact with recently."

Yan Mo agreed.

Xie Xuanzhao looked out the window and saw that Nanny Gao was already standing in the courtyard, continuing to teach Liu Qinglan.

"Yan Mo, go and help me with something later."

The day's practice finally ended. Exhausted as a dog, Liu Qinglan finally returned to his Yuefei Palace.

Lulu had already come out, and she started to shed a few tears. "Your Majesty, how could they do this to you? You look so tired. Tomorrow I will tell His Majesty. As long as His Majesty gives the order..."

"Shh." Liu Qinglan quickly interrupted Lulu, "I'm fine. I have to go tomorrow."

Lulu looked at Liu Qinglan with a complicated expression, as if to say, "Has this child been abused to the point of being stupid?" "My Lady, you've suffered!"

Liu Qinglan squatted on the chair. Although she was now a human, she still retained many of her animal habits. For example, the very act of sitting was embarrassing for this little animal.

For Feifei, squatting is definitely the most comfortable position.

Now that she was surrounded by her own people, Liu Qinglan squatted down openly, even boldly revealing her tail behind her palace skirt, releasing her nature and starting to swing it lively.

After holding it in for a whole day, I finally feel completely relaxed and refreshed.

Lulu said it many times, but in the end, it was fruitless. She could only turn a blind eye and slowly accept this master with some strange living habits.

Liu Qinglan narrowed her eyes, but before she could relax for long, a palace maid suddenly came from outside the door to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty, it's Aunt Yanmo who serves the Queen!" A little palace maid hurriedly announced.

Liu Qinglan's tail whizzed back, and Lulu urged again, "My Queen, don't let them see you squatting!"

Liu Qinglan jumped off the seat again and stood up before Yan Mo came in.

Yan Mo ignored the fawning yet awkward smile on her face, raised the small box in his hand, and said indifferently, "This is a gift from the Empress, Yuepin, please keep it."

Lulu stepped forward to take it.

Yan Mo dodged and said, "The Queen said that Concubine Yue should take it personally."

Liu Qinglan looked at the box curiously. What did it give her? It was so mysterious.
