After Liu Qinglan grabbed Xuetuan's furry cat tail, he smiled sinisterly at this real little kitten.
Xuetuan's cat face was filled with fear. He showed his claws and began to shrink back desperately.
“Meow meow meow meow…”
The originally quiet hall was suddenly filled with a burst of meows, some from Xuetuan and some from Liu Qinglan...
Xie Xuanzhao wiped her face behind the screen when she heard a sudden meow from outside, and it seemed there was more than one. She quickly lifted her skirt and walked around the screen to see what was going on.
Liu Qinglan didn't expect that this little kitten was more ferocious than himself, the king of the mountain. When he provoked it, it started showing its claws and looked extremely ferocious.
Liu Qinglan, who provoked a little vicious cat, quickly realized that she could not afford to offend him. She was so scared that she had no choice but to sacrifice herself in order to appease the little pet cat of the Beauty Queen as soon as possible.
“Meow meow…”
“Meow meow meow…
After a conversation in animal language, Liu Qinglan sighed, squatted down on the seat obediently, then revealed his long snow-white tail and let it hang down.
Snowball ran over happily and started to catch the furry tail in front of him with his claws.
Liu Qinglan wagged his tail left and right with a look of despair, using it as a cat toy for Xuetuan.
The snowball was like a butterfly fluttering around a flower, and suddenly became happy.
Liu Qinglan had sharp ears and was always paying attention to the movements behind the screen. When she heard the Queen's footsteps, she reacted immediately, quickly reversing her tail and then leaping down from her seat with lightning speed.
The moment Xie Xuanzhao stepped out from behind the screen, Liu Qinglan had already bent down and picked up the confused-looking Xuetuan, and was scratching Xuetuan's chin with his fingers to prevent it from being aggressive towards him again.
Xie Xuanzhao saw Liu Qinglan holding his cat and smiled slightly, "Do you like cats?"
Xuetuan was very happy when Liu Qinglan tickled his chin. He squinted his eyes and looked very happy.
Liu Qinglan quickly stuffed it back into Xie Xuanzhao's arms and said, "I don't like it, I don't like it." I only like myself, meow~
You just like saying one thing and thinking another. Xie Xuanzhao is well aware of the truth that "a woman may say she doesn't like someone but actually does like them", especially the one in front of him.
Xuetuan lay in Xie Xuanzhao's familiar arms, very well-behaved, as if the little vicious cat just now was not him.
Liu Qinglan was so angry that his teeth were itching, you scheming cat!
At this time, outside the palace, several concubines and palace maids who had returned were talking about how arrogant Concubine Yue was today. She relied on the emperor's favor and didn't even greet the empress properly.
Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and finally reached the emperor's ears.
Lin Yulang was serving the emperor today. He had just received news from Yu Cainü, and he had intentionally or unintentionally informed the emperor of the situation in Chenshen Palace.
The emperor's method worked for the first time, and he was very satisfied. "It seems that this girl from the mountains is naive and reckless, and she has her own way. Xie Xuanzhao has always been arrogant, and this time I can finally find someone to control her."
Seeing the emperor praising this young concubine with such high praise, Lin Yulang felt quite uncomfortable. Fearing that the emperor would favor her even more, he spoke up, "After all, the Empress is the daughter of the Xie family and is quite capable. Your Majesty has been pretending to favor Yuepin recently. I'm afraid the Empress will find a way to deal with Yuepin in anger. So, Your Majesty shouldn't go too far. It would be better to give Yuepin the cold shoulder for the next few days to prevent her from dying tragically at the hands of the Empress like Tanlang did."
Tan Lang was the male favorite who was beaten to death by the Queen for provoking Concubine Kang.
The emperor still feels a lingering fear when he thinks about it. He nodded thoughtfully, "I finally found a reliable talent, I can't sacrifice her like this. I will first appoint her as my concubine, and leave her in the cold for a few days. I will make plans later."
So when Liu Qinglan walked out of Chenxin Palace, he found out that he had been promoted for no apparent reason.
Lulu and the other palace maids from Yuefei Palace were overjoyed. They packed up their things and prepared to move to a bigger palace.
Liu Qinglan was still confused. She had not completed the task given to her by the emperor. On the contrary, she had rebelled on the first day!
Lulu, who had been worried that the emperor would neglect and abandon her because she was not proactive and was timid, was very relieved to see that the situation was developing in a better direction. She took Liu Qinglan's hand and said, "Empress, if you can come to your senses once, His Majesty will promote you to a higher rank and make you a concubine. You will have a bright future! When the time comes, try to give birth to a little prince. You will be honored by having a son, and you can..."
Lulu was imagining the future endlessly, but Liu Qinglan was still confused, "I haven't done anything."
"You're right, you didn't do anything!" Lulu happily shook her hand. "The saying 'no move is better than a move' is true!"
After hearing this, Liu Qinglan was even more confused and could only nod her head, not quite understanding. What else could she say? This palace was really quite interesting, hehe~
"But what difference does it make if I become the Moon Concubine?" Liu Qinglan couldn't help asking again, looking at the palace maids around her who were all beaming with joy, feeling a little confused.
Lulu patted the back of her hand. "There are so many benefits. First of all, the monthly allowance will increase. Secondly, we will have a bigger and more beautiful palace. Finally, our food will definitely get better. Then Your Majesty can choose her own chef!"
Liu Qinglan felt itchy after hearing this. It turned out there were so many benefits. He was so happy.
In the small courtyard of the imperial kitchen, Tao Xi was preparing wedding cakes to congratulate the Empress on her promotion when a voice suddenly came from outside, "Is the cook here?"
Tao Xi walked out and saw Yan Mo, the Empress's maid, standing in front of her.
She remembered Miss Yanmo's cold eyes staring at her and threatening her that night. She immediately became reserved and afraid. "Yan...Aunt Yanmo, what do you want?"
Yan Mo gave her a strange look, "Why are you so scared?"
When the Peach Blossom Demon heard the voices, she opened her hazy eyes from her sleep and looked down.
Tao Xi quickly waved her hands and said, "No... I'm not afraid." But her whole body was resisting, and she looked like she was about to turn around and run away at any moment.
Yan Mo paused for a moment, vaguely guessing the reason, "Well... Actually, what I told you last time was just a joke, don't take it to heart."
Tao Xi immediately shook her head like a rattle, "I... I don't remember what you said to me last time. I didn't see anything, and I didn't even notice that there was any charcoal missing from the kitchen."
After she finished speaking, she saw Yan Mo's cold face and immediately covered her mouth. She regretted it so much that she wanted to bite her tongue. What the hell was that?
Yan Mo suddenly smiled brightly, "I understand. Little cook, don't be afraid. I just came to ask you for a bag of water chestnuts. The swans raised by the Queen like to eat the wild water chestnuts you prepare."
Tao Xi had seen her cold expression before, but now seeing her smiling so brightly, she felt even more frightened...
"Didn't you take a bag last time?"
Yan Mo said calmly, "It was stolen. So I have to prepare it again. Those swans are very picky."
"Ah, someone is stealing raw water chestnuts too..." Tao Xi looked confused, but had to go back to the house to prepare.
Peach Blossom Demon heard everything clearly from above. She looked at Yan Mo, who was waiting in the yard, but didn't see the black aura around her. This person wasn't the same one who had come over that night, crying and writing a suicide note.
The peach blossom demon narrowed her charming eyes and thought: How interesting.
Taoxi washed a basket of water chestnuts with well water and was about to pick it up when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from her ears, "Little Taoxi~"
Tao Xi immediately stood there as if in a trance, and the voice appeared again.
This gentle and charming female voice has been with me since I was a child. When I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the stone in front of me, when I was about to participate in the imperial chef selection but forgot to bring the special seasoning, when I was lonely and bored and wanted someone to talk to, this voice would appear like timely rain.
Although she only recognized the other person's voice and had no idea what she looked like, Taoxi was very content.
Because it had been a long time since she had heard her voice coming to find her, Tao Xi was a little excited at this moment, "You are here."
"Hmm~" Peach Blossom Fairy gently instructed, "Xiao Taoxi, carry Lingjiao out and ask Miss Yanmo for me if your injury has healed."
Tao Xi nodded, "Okay, I will definitely ask for you."
Yan Mo took the basket from Tao Xi's hand, saw the juicy water chestnuts inside, and smiled slightly, "Thank you for troubling the cook."
Tao Xi waved her hand, "As I should." She bravely took a quick look at Yan Mo. She looked rosy and healthy. Although confused, Tao Xi still followed the instructions of the Peach Blossom Demon and asked, "Miss Yan Mo, are you healed?"
Yan Mo paused, his expression froze again, "Hmm?"
"Ah, I just care about you, nothing else." Tao Xi was afraid that she would stare at him coldly again, so he turned around and ran away.
If she hadn't told her to do so, Taoxi wouldn't have dared to ask even if she had ten times the courage.
Yan Mo held the water chestnut and turned away thoughtfully.
While Lulu and the others were busy moving things, Liu Qinglan, the one with the most free time, squatted on a chair and ate melon seeds.
She actually didn't want to move because it was too troublesome. Human nests were so big and stuffed with so many things, unlike her grass nest in the mountains, which was simple, convenient, practical, and super easy to move.
Lulu and the others worked hard for an entire afternoon and finally finished moving everything. "Your Majesty, you may leave now and go to your new home!"
Because Lulu and the others had delighted expressions on their faces, Liu Qinglan also became happy with them, "Okay, I'll go see what the new house is like."
So a group of people from Yuefei Palace went to Yuefei's new residence with great joy and a joyful mood as if they were enjoying spring.
The palace is called Qinglan Palace, specifically named after Liu Qinglan, which shows great care. Thick shade and abundant vegetation covered the ground. Standing in front of the palace gate, Liu Qinglan smelled the fresh fragrance of the plants, and her mood became even more joyful.
Not bad, not bad, she is very satisfied with this new home for now.
Liu Qinglan took Lulu and the others for a brief stroll, and then the maids returned to their rooms to clean up. Liu Qinglan asked Lulu to do the same, and continued to stroll around the courtyard.
She saw a huge Albizia tree in the backyard. Its fan-like flowers had almost faded, and its leaves were extremely dense. Liu Qinglan looked around and saw no one, so she thought of climbing the tree.
It had been a long time since she had left the mountains and forests and climbed such a tall tree. The peach tree in the imperial kitchen was too short, so climbing it didn't give her a sense of accomplishment.
Liu Qinglan rolled up her sleeves, tied her skirt tightly, took off her shoes, and climbed to the top of the tree with skill and facility.
After climbing up, she found that this was truly a new world.
The Albizia Julibrissin tree is planted against the wall, and beyond the top of the wall, on the other side is...
Liu Qinglan was so happy that she almost fainted. She saw a familiar figure standing in front of her. She quickly poked her head out from the bushes and greeted the person warmly, "Meow meow meow~"
The author has something to say: Xiao Liu: Your little cutie suddenly comes online~o( =∩ω∩= )m
I was so excited that the original sound came out~~~
