Seeing that Liu Qinglan had disliked the jade hairpin from the beginning, Lulu simply put it away and said, "Okay, Madam, I will let this jade hairpin never see the light of day."
When Lulu said this, her expression was painful, indicating that she would always stand on the same side with her master, and would rejoice when the queen was happy and dislike when the queen was disliked.
Liu Qinglan was scared again, "This seems too extreme..."
Because he himself was a demon that had become a spirit, Liu Qinglan knew that all things had spirits. Perhaps this hairpin would one day become a spirit! If this hairpin became a spirit, remembering that it had been banished to the cold palace by a little creature named Liu Qinglan and had not seen the light of day for a long time, it might come to seek revenge.
Liu Qinglan's thoughts drifted further and further away, and he became immersed in his own fantasies and could not extricate himself.
Lulu looked at the trance-like Empress and finally couldn't help but speak out, "Then what on earth will Her Majesty do with the Queen's gift?!"
Liu Qinglan awoke from his fantasy of being beaten to a pulp by a hairpin spirit. Reflecting on his mistakes, he said with a heavy face, "Lulu, take the best box, line it with the softest silk cloth, then carefully place the hairpin inside and place it on the dressing table. Let it bask in the sun every day and listen to the lark sing."
Lulu: ...Your Majesty, are you stupid?
"Go quickly and get it done today." Only then can she feel at ease.
Lulu saluted stiffly and said, "Yes."
When she really did what the Empress said and carefully picked up this ordinary hairpin, she felt like a mentally retarded person and her heart was very tired!
After Liu Qinglan finished dressing up, she stood up contentedly, a little excited, "Lulu, let's go to Chenxin Palace!"
Lulu was sweating profusely from behind, "My Queen, stop jumping!"
Liu Qinglan quickly restrained his complacent posture, changed to the walking posture taught by Grandma Gao, and walked towards Chenxin Palace with a twist and turn.
The palace maids following behind just wanted to cover their eyes.
When he arrived at Chenxin Palace, Liu Qinglan met Kang Zhaoyi, who looked disgusted.
Kang Zhaoyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, saying to a beauty next to her: "You should follow the rules in the palace. You should walk properly. You are so charming, but you walk like a cripple. Who are you trying to show off to?"
The beauty knew she was talking about the newly appointed favorite concubine walking towards her, and quickly bowed her head in agreement, "Zhaoyi is right, it is truly insulting."
Liu Qinglan understood and called herself a cripple.
She was unhappy and simply swung her sleeves and swaggered in. The maids following behind her immediately went into battle mode, puffing out their chests and showing that they had the support of His Majesty.
Then a group of people from Yuefei Palace, like fighting cocks, stepped into Chenxin Palace with high spirits and confidence.
Kang Zhaoyi was so angry that she fell backwards. "Grandma Gao taught you etiquette, but didn't she teach you to bow when you meet someone of higher rank?"
Liu Qinglan stopped and looked at Lulu. Lulu understood and stood up and said, "Replying to Zhaoyi, Madam Gao hasn't taught the Empress how to salute yet. She's only now learning how to stand."
"..." Kang Zhaoyi's pretty face flushed with anger, "I'll go and ask the Empress to make the decision."
Oh my, she has to ask the harem boss for support, so scary.
Liu Qinglan scratched his hair and said, "I'll go too!"
"My lady, what are you going to do?"
"Just like her, go and complain to the Queen!"
So the two girls ran to the teacher angrily like two quarreling students, asking for justice.
Xie Xuanzhao was already seated in the hall, ready to receive the concubines who had come to pay their respects. She wore a bright red phoenix dress, a brilliant and elegant sight, though the green hairpin in her bun made her look a little plainer.
The snowball lying on her knees was also lying there lazily, dozing with his eyes closed.
Kang Zhaoyi entered first and threw herself schemingly onto the empress's lap, weeping with her sleeves buried in her eyes. "Sister, you must take charge of this concubine. Now a mere concubine can boast of her power over me. If we don't put things in order, this palace will be in chaos. Today she's a concubine, tomorrow she's a court lady. After that, even servants will dare to act like slaves."
Xie Xuanzhao's eyes deepened slightly, "You get up first, who bullied you?"
Liu Qinglan followed closely and saw Kang Zhaoyi, who had been bossing around just now, crying and complaining in a humble manner, looking so pitiful.
She stopped where she was, scratching her head anxiously. What should she do? The queen was staring at her.
Liu Qinglan was so anxious that he wanted to show his tail.
Xie Xuanzhao looked at the anxious little concubine and understood in his heart that the new beauty had zero experience in palace fighting.
She curled her red lips and smiled. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes fell on Liu Qinglan's hair. The green hairpin was missing. She slowly withdrew her smile.
I was unhappy because I didn’t wear my own hairpin.
Xie Xuanzhao spoke with an indifferent expression, "Princess Yue, come in."
Liu Qinglan felt that the Empress's aura was very powerful, and she truly felt like the head of the imperial court. She timidly tucked her tail between her legs and walked in dejectedly, like a cat that had made a mistake and was being held by its owner by the scruff of the neck.
Xie Xuanzhao looked at her big, dark eyes that were filled with guilt and a bit of grievance, and wanted to laugh for a moment. "Why are you so nervous? First, tell me why you bullied Sister Zhaoyi?"
Kang Zhaoyi was not very happy to see that the Queen was in a good mood, but she didn't know what to say.
Liu Qinglan scratched his ears, imagining himself puffing out his chest and glancing at Kang Zhaoyi with great pride, then said arrogantly: "I am the most beloved woman of His Majesty. If you don't want to salute me, then don't salute me, humph!" Finally, he turned around and left like a victorious rooster!
This was also the feeling of the Yuefei Palace maids behind. Lulu clenched her fists, her heart excited: "Your Majesty, go ahead boldly! We have His Majesty's support!"
But in reality, Liu Qinglan looked very cowardly. She drooped her ears like a child who had made a mistake, and said aggrievedly, "Empress, Madam Gao hasn't taught me how to salute yet!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lulu and others collapsed and their momentum weakened.
Kang Zhaoyi was a little upset. Was Concubine Yue pretending to be good on purpose or was she really such an idiot?
Xie Xuanzhao was an idiot for choosing her. She laughed heartily, but kept a serious expression on her face. "In that case, today you will learn how to perform etiquette from Grandma Gao. I will inspect it at dusk."
This way, wouldn't it be another chance to be alone? Xie Xuanzhao remained calm, his mind already thinking of the 108 moves that would be inspected later.
Xie Xuanzhao fantasized for a moment, then quickly came to his senses. When had he become like this? This was very bad. He couldn't let this little concubine seduce him so easily.
Stay calm, I want to stay calm.
Liu Qinglan glanced at Kang Zhaoyi, who was still angry, and said, "Then... then I'll go first. Queen Sister, I will definitely study hard!"
Looking at the girl's face that was so white and tender that you could pinch water out of it, and her eyes that were sparkling with seriousness, Xie Xuanzhao's heart, which had not been moved for a long time, was moved violently and unrestrainedly.
Go ahead, go ahead, practice well, I'm looking forward to it. Xie Xuanzhao arched his eyebrows and smiled sinisterly.
The author has something to say: Queen Mother: Ahem, I heard that you treated the hairpin I gave you like a tribute to a deity. Actually, it’s not necessary. I still really want to wear the couple’s hairpin with you, it feels more special that way.
Xiao Liu (twirling his tail anxiously): I am the tribute hairpin spirit, hairpin! Hairpin! Spirit!
Queen: No need to explain. I understand your heart.
Little Willow cat is paralyzed.
