Xie Xuanzhao naturally could not feel the breath on her arm. She thought of her little concubine who was still waiting for her in the water pavilion, and decided to put aside all these troubles for the time being and go to her to relax.
As the Queen stood up, Liu Qinglan also floated up. Looking at the direction the Queen was walking, Liu Qinglan realized half a beat later that she was going to look for him.
Liu Qinglan immediately realized something, his face changed drastically, and he returned to his body as quickly as possible.
There was a cool breeze in the pavilion. Liu Qinglan had been sitting on a couch by the water, but she had overestimated her ability to control herself. After most of her consciousness was lost to the illusory aura, she became like a three-year-old child who knew nothing.
She was so focused on eavesdropping on the conversation that she forgot to pay attention to the real body here. She was also reckless because she thought no one would disturb her for the time being.
As a result, no one disturbed him, but he ate a lot of cherries mechanically, his lips and teeth became rosy, and a few drops of cherry juice splashed on his lapel, just like a baby eating by himself.
Liu Qinglan held her forehead weakly, then glanced at the porcelain plate in front of her. Only two or three cherries remained, the rest having been eaten by her. She quickly wiped the soiled front of her lapel with a silk handkerchief, while also checking her body for any discomfort. She felt like a fool.
Xie Xuanzhao walked around the screen and saw Liu Qinglan sitting obediently on the soft couch by the water, having eaten almost all the cherries beside her. She imagined the little girl stealthily eating cherries by herself, and a smile crossed her eyes. No wonder she had been so silly and giggling when she left. It turned out she could actually enjoy eating cherries to her heart's content.
He must be too shy to eat in front of me, so he has to wait until I leave before he dares to eat boldly.
As Xie Xuanzhao thought about this, the smile in his eyes became more intense. However, being so shy was not good either. He couldn't let her hide away and eat alone in the future. This would deprive him of a lot of fun.
It seems necessary to start training her courage from now on.
"So you like cherries so much, why didn't you dare eat them in front of me just now?" Xie Xuanzhao walked to the side of the soft couch, picked up the few remaining cherries with his own hands, and put them into his mouth while eating them with his delicate hands, while leisurely looking at the little concubine who was blushing so much that she was about to crawl into the ground.
Liu Qinglan's face flushed red, she couldn't help but refute in her heart that it was not true, but she didn't dare to say the truth. Well... then just admit it generously, I just ate a lot of her cherries!
She puffed out her chest and tried hard to act as if it was a matter of course. "I... I just like to eat cherries secretly by myself. Is that not okay?"
If it weren't for the sudden stuttering, he would still be very impressive.
Xie Xuanzhao suppressed his laughter and nodded seriously, "Yes, yes, whatever you want."
As she spoke, she was already standing in front of Liu Qinglan, reaching out and tapping the tip of her upturned nose, "You little greedy cat!"
The smile on her face is so doting.
Liu Qinglan's back stiffened. Oh my god, she actually said she was a cat. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with anxiety, ready to run away at any moment.
Her slender, snow-white wrist was suddenly grabbed by the other party. Liu Qinglan meowed in her heart, and her big eyes were filled with panic.
Xie Xuanzhao paused as he met her expression. It seemed he had been too intimate, frightening the little girl. Xie Xuanzhao reflected for a moment, took a deep breath, and realized that haste can't get you hot tofu. His eagerness could easily frighten this innocent little girl. So, he loosened his grip slightly, smiled softly and harmlessly, and restrained his affection. "I'll take you to dinner. You still have etiquette practice with Grandma Gao this afternoon. A full stomach gives you strength, right?"
It's simply coaxing a child. Liu Qinglan felt strange, but seeing that she didn't really seem to recognize her as a fairy, she felt relieved and was in the mood to refute her, "I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. Of course I know that only when I'm full can I have the strength to do things."
"Well, you are not three years old." Xie Xuanzhao agreed calmly, and then couldn't help adding, "At most five years old." Liu Qinglan got angry when she heard that, and hummed in dissatisfaction, but she was too timid to fight back.
While they were talking, the two had already come into the room. Xie Xuanzhao didn't think much about it, because he walked in front and personally lifted the door curtain for her. Looking at Liu Qinglan's little look who was annoyed by him, his previous annoyance was swept away and he smiled with his eyebrows curved.
Liu Qinglan didn't find it shocking at all that she had lifted the door curtain for her. She took it for granted that she was being served by the beautiful queen and entered the dining hall before her. At this moment, she had completely forgotten the self-cultivation that a low-ranking concubine should have.
Yan Mo, standing nearby, was already horrified. She hadn't seen it wrong. The Empress was actually personally lifting the curtain for this little concubine! The eldest daughter of the Xie family had been born into a noble family, raised with a silver spoon in her mouth, married into the Eastern Palace at the age of fifteen. Throughout her life, she had never condescended to anyone else; not even the Emperor had ever received such courtesy. Now, a mere concubine, what merit had she possessed to have the Empress do the favor of lifting the curtain for her, and she wasn't even a bit terrified.
Yan Mo suddenly felt a little unfair, and thought that it would be better if her young lady was not bewitched by this little goblin.
Xie Xuanzhao, who had already been teased, was completely unaware that her previous behavior was inappropriate. She led Liu Qinglan to a seat, and there was no distinction between upper and lower seats.
Yan Mo watched from the side, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, seeing that the Queen was enjoying herself, she knew that her mistress was immersed in the fun and it would be useless for her to say anything, so she had to let the Queen go.
Yan Mo looked at the Queen, whose eyebrows were curved. Since she entered the palace, she hadn't seen the Queen smile so purely for a long time. This was a smile that came from the heart.
Liu Qinglan sat down on the exquisitely carved chair, her round eyes wide open, looking at the overflowing plate of delicacies in front of her as if she had never seen the world before.
Wow, not only is the palace where the Empress lives so different from where I live, but even the food is so different!
Especially the variety of dishes, not only were they numerous but also exquisite and pleasing to the eye, and one could tell they were carefully prepared. Moreover, she didn't recognize many of the dishes, having never seen them at Yuefei Palace!
Xie Xuanzhao had achieved her goal. She had specifically instructed the imperial chefs of Chenxin Palace to bring out their best in this meal. Therefore, the chefs did not hesitate and used all their skills to create this table full of exquisite dishes.
"Qinglan, try this." The Queen's fair and slender fingers held the golden chopsticks and helped her pick up a piece of food and put it into the bowl.
Liu Qinglan stared at the juicy shredded pork in front of her, her eyes wide open, not because of the dish, but because the dish was picked up by the Queen using her chopsticks.
Will there be the beauty queen's saliva on it...
Liu Qinglan's heart surged, and then he couldn't wait to devour it. Sure enough, it was already filled with spiritual energy, worthy of being picked up with the chopsticks used by the Empress!
Xie Xuanzhao was very happy seeing her satisfied look, so he started feeding this little concubine again.
"This dish has a nice name, it's Yunmeng meat wrapped with flowers. And this one, shredded fat chicken with bird's nest, you can try it." Xie Xuanzhao enjoyed himself and was very happy to be busy.
Liu Qinglan gave her face and ate all the food without any hesitation. His stomach was round and his eyes were dazed. He wanted to die from the food fed by the beautiful woman.
Full of spirit and overflowing with rich juice, it brings comfort and enjoyment from body to mind.
Finally, Liu Qinglan devoured a dessert called Silk Nest Tiger Eye Candy in one mouthful. It was so sweet that she wanted to curl her tail.
People with good appetites are blessed. Xie Xuanzhao thought so, and she was very satisfied with the food she had fed. She looked at the girl next to her who seemed drowsy from eating and drinking too much. Seeing her completely let down her guard and defenses, Xie Xuanzhao felt warm in her heart. She moved closer to her and asked in a soft voice, "Qinglan, how is the food here?"
"It's really delicious." Liu Qinglan smiled sweetly, her eyes and eyebrows were like honey, and her smile was a bit silly.
Xie Xuanzhao was so attracted by her that her heart was tickled. Because they were so close, she could smell the delicate fragrance of plants and trees on her body. It was very pleasant. "How about coming here to eat every day from now on?"
"Will there be so many delicious foods every day in the future?" Liu Qinglan blinked and asked very seriously, not feeling that his question was silly at all.
Xie Xuanzhao curled his lips, nodded affirmatively, and said coaxingly, "You can come up with new tricks."
If Xie Xuanzhao glanced back at this moment, she would see that the little fairy Liu was so happy that she was showing her tail.
The author has something to say: Her Majesty the Queen: Looking at your shy face, I suddenly had a bold idea.
Xiao Liu (subconsciously afraid): I think it’s better for me not to know.
The Queen (smiling): I want to see what you look like when you are drunk.
Xiao Liu ((⊙o⊙)) is probably just a little drunk cat, and will show you his true colors in any minute.
Hahaha, this is a stalk I suddenly thought of. Today I wrote about the greedy cat, and I can write about the drunk cat in the future~~~~
Queen Mother: Cute, I want...
