Liu Qinglan said "Hmm?" and then remembered the night when he watched the black gas turn into an egg under the peach tree.
This infant spirit is fine, why would it seduce a sharp-nosed snake!
She immediately said, "I'll go and take a look!" She hoped that nothing would happen to Jiang Wenwen.
Xie Xuanzhao was also curious about how a big white cat could be attracted by an egg, so he followed Liu Qinglan and said, "I'm worried if you go alone. It's better for you to go together."
Seeing that the Empress was also alarmed, Tao Xi quickly reminded them, "But the team is about to set off. If both Empresses go..."
Xie Xuanzhao signaled Liu Qinglan not to rush off, then said to Tao Xi, "Go back first. Don't spread the news of Yue Fei's mother's disappearance."
Tao Xi had conveyed everything she wanted to say, so she bowed and took her leave.
Liu Qinglan suddenly realized that it was quite a strange story that a living person was seduced away by an egg, but why didn't the beauty queen seem surprised at all?
So she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Queen, why don't you ask why my mother was seduced away by an egg?"
Xie Xuanzhao had been simply lost in her curiosity. Knowing they were fairies, she found any strange happenings to be perfectly reasonable. She immediately raised an eyebrow and said in amazement, "It's really strange."
The Little Fairy Liu looked at the serious Queen of Beauty with sparkling eyes: Why do I feel that you are not weird at all?!
Xie Xuanzhao was afraid she would ask more questions, so he grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll go with you later. Leave this place to Yanmo. I'll go get a horse first. You go tell Lulu to guard this place and make sure no one sees you leave."
Liu Qinglan had not thought about it so carefully, so he immediately did as he was told.
Xie Xuanzhao rolled up his sleeves temporarily and prepared two sets of clothes that were convenient for riding. He then ordered the Xie family army to keep it secret and let them go with a blind eye. They would come back soon and no one should make a sound during this period.
The Xie family army obeyed the order. Although they had doubts, they did not dare to disobey. They could only let them go quietly and let them go along the bank of the stream.
Yan Mo and Lu Lu stood beside Feng Luan, pretending that the two ladies were inside.
The team set off quickly. Lulu worriedly lifted the carriage curtain and peeked outside. Seeing no sign of them returning, she couldn't help but ask, "Where on earth did Concubine Yue go with the Queen? They're always so close together. It seems weird to me!"
Yan Mo coughed softly and said, "Let's not worry about the masters' affairs. We should just serve them wholeheartedly."
Lulu could only sigh and wait for her queen to come back with a sad face.
Yan Mo spread out the rice paper, took out the brush she had prepared, and began to paint with a frown. The carriage swayed slightly, but it did not hinder her concentration at all.
Lulu was gradually attracted to her and couldn't help but get closer to her, watching her slowly outline the outline of a cat.
"So cute." Lulu's hands restlessly pressed on the edge of the rice paper, and she almost pounced over.
Yan Mo finished drawing the cat's long tail and said, "This is the Queen's favorite cat."
Lulu took a closer look and tilted her head in confusion, saying, "But, it doesn't look like a snowball to me."
She had seen the Queen holding Xuetuan in Chenxin Palace before, and knew that the tail was not so long and not so cute.
Yan Mo curled her lips. "You have a good eye. This is definitely not a snowball. Perhaps it's destined for the Empress. This cat always appears, but disappears just as quickly. The Empress misses it so much, so I thought of painting a picture of a cat playing with a butterfly so that the Empress can see it every day."
Lulu was very impressed when she heard this, her eyes sparkling. "No wonder Aunt Yanmo is so trusted by the Queen. I wish I had some of your thoughtfulness." She pointed at the painting and said, "Why don't you draw cat eyes?"
Yan Mo put down his ink brush and picked up his red paintbrush. "This cat has green eyes," he said. "As the saying goes, the finishing touch is the finishing touch. I don't want to use ordinary azurite, as it won't capture its magical beauty. But it's hard to find malachite on the road, so I'll have to return to the palace to paint."
Lulu tilted her head, confused. Things like azurite and malachite were completely unfamiliar to her. Her eyes sparkled again, "Yanmo, you're amazing! You know so much!"
Yan Mo coughed softly, "It's nothing, actually. These are all taught to me by the Empress. If you were like me, and had been nurtured by the Empress since childhood, you would also know so much."
Lulu suddenly clapped her hands and said happily, "My name is the color. Look, isn't it fate?"
"It's quite a fate." Yan Mo thought about it, and it was true, her name contained the character "Mo" and hers contained the character "Lu".
She smiled gently, "Since we are so destined to meet, I will teach you how to paint today!"
Lulu's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at her in surprise, "Really? Are you really willing to teach me? I'm so stupid."
"It's okay, it's just for fun anyway. Don't be too nervous. We can practice on some scrap paper first. Well, I'll teach you how to draw a butterfly. It's relatively simple and you can paint it on later. How about we finish this picture of a cat playing with a butterfly together?" Yan Mo asked, but handed the paintbrush to Lulu.
Lulu took it excitedly and said, "This is my first time holding a paintbrush!"
"Drawing requires meticulousness, just like writing. Don't get too excited." Yan Mo looked at her with amusement, but gently held Lulu's hand. "Just follow my steps, stroke by stroke."
The scent of ink faintly surrounded her, her palms began to sweat, her heart began to pound, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.
The scenery along the stream is just right. In the distance, there are maple leaves that have dyed half the mountain red, and nearby, there are autumn wildflowers blooming along the stream.
A whip rolled up flexibly, rolled up a flower, and then retracted it, and the flower fell into a pair of slender white hands.
"Do you like it?" Xie Xuanzhao sat on the horse, looking at the little beauty in front of him who was lowering her head to smell the flowers.
Liu Qinglan nodded happily, not at all like someone who came to look for his poor mother.
Xie Xuanzhao curved his lips and smiled. He had brought her out just to get some fresh air, just the two of them.
So she swung the whip in her hand softly again, and this time she rolled up several flowers in one breath, forming a bunch, and then put it into Liu Qinglan's hand.
In just a moment, Liu Qinglan's arms were already filled with a large bunch of autumn flowers. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air. She sniffed them one by one, took a few deep breaths, and nodded solemnly, "What a nice fragrance!"
"Then, why does it smell so good?" Xie Xuanzhao teased her deliberately.
Liu Qinglan said seriously, "Because it was given to me by the beautiful queen~"
Xie Xuanzhao smacked the face of the little beauty in his arms, wanting to rub her, "Then smile for me."
Liu Qinglan tilted her head back and arched her eyebrows at her.
Xie Xuanzhao held the reins in one hand and put down the whip with the other. He reached out and gently poked her fair and tender little face, "You should have a smile that has dimples."
The little fairy Liu smiled obediently, revealing her row of snow-white teeth, and bit them a few times. Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help laughing and poked her dimples that appeared and disappeared, "Naughty~"
"By the way, where's your mother?" The Empress, who was immersed in her own world, finally remembered the serious matter this time!
Liu Qinglan sat up straight away, looking embarrassed. "Ahem, yes, where's my mother?"
"..." If Xie Xuanzhao hadn't known that they were fairies, she would have thought she was an unfilial daughter. She coughed awkwardly, thinking that she had forgotten about her mother-in-law. What a sin.
At this time, Jiang Wenwen was being pitifully rejected by her sister.
Jiang Wenwen asked tentatively, "Can you give me this egg?"
Heidan immediately jumped onto her sister's shoulder, revealing a super fierce little girl expression!
My sister's expression was indifferent. "That depends on its own will. I am not related to it."
Jiang Wenwen wiped away her tears and said, "Have pity on me, an old man. I have no relatives or friends, and now I am even despised. Where should I go in the future..."
When she secretly lifted the veil to see the other person's reaction, she was shocked to find that the man and the egg were gone!
Jiang Wenwen immediately got up and, despite her old age, she ran as fast as a rocket as she could, chasing after him. "Wait for me, don't leave me behind again!"
Not far away, Xie Xuanzhao pulled in the reins of his horse and listened carefully, "Is there someone shouting?"
Liu Qinglan had sharp ears and had heard it clearly. He could also smell Jiang Wenwen's snake-like aura. "My mother seems to be nearby. Let's go over there!" The voice sounded full of energy, so Jiang Wenwen should be fine.
At the same time as he walked over, Liu Qinglan quickly used his magical powers to inform Jiang Wenwen that they were coming.
Jiang Wenwen could only sit down and watch her sister and the egg disappear into the jungle.
Xie Xuanzhao came on horseback and soon saw the big white cat sitting on the haystack. He jumped off his horse and reached out to hug Liu Qinglan, who had fallen down. He only walked over together after she landed safely.
Jiang Wenwen didn't have the heart to watch these two guys showing their affection, she sighed deeply.
"Mom, what are you doing sitting here? Where is the egg?" Liu Qinglan asked.
Jiang Wenwen played dumb, "Eggs? Where did the eggs come from?"
"Then why did you leave without any reason, making it difficult for the Queen and me to find you." Liu Qinglan said so much on the surface, but in his heart he did not forget to condemn her with his demonic power, "You little snake are really a troublesome thing for the cat!"
Jiang Wenwen glared at her: Oh my, where do you get the confidence to say that I'm a worry?
Liu Qinglan said calmly: It was given by the beautiful queen.
Jiang Wenwen: Go away. I don’t want to see you two being so affectionate. I need to heal my wounds now.
Liu Qinglan was shocked: Are you hurt?
Jiang Wenwen is calm: emotional hurt.
So Liu Qinglan said, "Mother doesn't seem to want to go back with us, but you're old now, and we're worried about you being out there alone, isn't that right, Queen Sister?"
In front of her mother, Xie Xuanzhao boldly put his arm around the little beauty's shoulders and nodded affirmatively.
Jiang Wenwen just wanted to cry now. "That's enough! You're getting even more excessive! I didn't even hold her hand!"
Seeing that the mother remained indifferent, as if she had tacitly approved of his affectionate gesture towards her lovely daughter, Xie Xuanzhao felt secretly pleased and said sincerely, "We are here to take you back. There are wild beasts in this forest, so it's better to return home early."
Otherwise you might get snatched away.
Jiang Wenwen turned her head away, and the angry old man acted like a child, "I don't want you to send me back, I'll go back by myself!"
"Then how can we be assured?" Xie Xuanzhao pondered, then said, "How about this, I'll have my people take you back."
Jiang Wenwen immediately turned to her, "Your people?" Isn't Yan Mo her subordinate!
"Yes, there are Xie's troops nearby. I will dispatch a few soldiers to escort you back to the team." Xie Xuanzhao observed his expression and emphasized, "Yan Mo will treat you well when you return to the team."
Jiang Wenwen immediately stood up from the grass, still trembling, and said, "Hurry up and arrange it, hurry up and arrange it."
Liu Qinglan watched from the side, holding his forehead helplessly, and said, "Miss Yanmo, I'm sorry!"
The author has something to say: Beauty Queen: After settling my mother-in-law, it’s time for me and the little beauty to spend some time alone together!
Little Fairy Liu was heartbroken: "You used your personal maid to lure this evil snake demon. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
(Inwardly, I was secretly thinking: With the world as my bed, I can finally release my true nature to the fullest:)
