Chapter 5 It's Hard to Be a Human



Back at Yuefei Palace, Lulu couldn't wait to speak: "Your Majesty, didn't we agree to show the Queen a lesson?!"

Lulu looked righteous and clenched her little fists.

Liu Qinglan achieved his goal and was so happy that he wanted to hum a song. But when he was suddenly asked by Lulu, he remembered the task assigned to him by the emperor.

When I went out today and headed to the Queen's Chenshen Palace, the Emperor specially sent a dozen palace maids to help, and also told them to go there slowly and not to rush.

The plan was well-planned, but the result was not satisfactory.

Liu Qinglan scratched his hair and lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing her slumped shoulders, Lulu grew bolder and said, "Also, Your Majesty, how could you volunteer to learn the rules from the Queen?!"

Liu Qinglan raised her eyes, a look of curiosity on her face, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma Gao of Chenxin Palace is known to be harsh and cruel. How many young palace maids have fallen into her hands and have been left in tears all day long!" Lulu emphasized, "Grandma Gao is the most loyal to the Queen. You are now the Queen's mortal enemy. She must have many tricks prepared!"

Liu Qinglan's ears twitched, "What? How come I'm the Queen's mortal enemy?"

We met today, and it was wonderful! The Queen looked at me with such tenderness!

Well, that's just the effect of the talisman paper.

Thinking of this, Liu Qinglan's ears drooped again and he looked dejected.

Seeing her like a wilted eggplant, Lulu thought she had finally been intimidated by her words, so she struck while the iron was hot and slowed down her tone, saying, "But you are now the emperor's most favored concubine. If you don't want to go, it's just a matter of asking. Even if you don't want to learn these rules, it's fine."

Liu Qinglan rubbed his fingers and said, "This is not good."

She chose to come down the mountain to the human world because she wanted to learn human rules and be a human being.

Lulu was very calm, "My Queen, please don't be a coward. If you are, everyone will come to bully you."

Liu Qinglan immediately straightened his back. He had magical powers and was very confident!

After everyone had left, Xie Xuanzhao was still sitting in his seat, with a faint scent of rouge still lingering in the air.

Yan Mo came over with the snowball in her arms and put it in Xie Xuanzhao's arms.

The cat, who had just woken up from a nap, lay lazily on the beauty's knees, and the pupils of its deep blue eyes suddenly became as sharp as needles.

It smelled a scent in the air that was very similar to its own kind.

The cat suddenly felt like its territory was being invaded. It used its snow-white claws to exert a little force and hold on tighter to the hem of its owner's clothes, fearing that it would be abandoned.

As royal cats in the palace, they face fierce competition and are easily abandoned by their masters.

Xie Xuanzhao gently stroked the cat's white fur with his fingers, but his expression was very cold.

"Yanmo, go check the background of this Yuepin. Also, go call Yu Cainv over."

Just now she noticed that Yu Cainu looked haggard and wanted to ask her about her recent situation, but was interrupted by the arrival of Yuepin.

Yan Mo took the order and left.

There was no one in the front hall except the palace maids standing with their hands hanging down, and Xie Xuanzhao slowly calmed down.

She had grown up accustomed to the intrigues and schemes in the backyard of a large family, and marrying into the royal family had made the situation even more complicated. Therefore, she did not believe that there were still people in this land who were truly as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Yuepin is definitely not an ordinary person.

Xie Xuanzhao's expression was stern, and he must not be misled by the other party's beauty.

She was too lax today and should reflect on herself and be more vigilant.

Xie Xuanzhao slowly stood up and walked out of the front hall.

There are several pots of newly opened peonies placed beside the mahogany corridor, which are rich, gorgeous and elegant.

She stood in front of the flowerpot, looking at the layers of palace sea beneath her feet.

As the main palace, Chenxin Palace occupies a high position, second only to the emperor's bedroom.

Therefore, where Xie Xuanzhao stood, he could overlook the concubines and the six palaces.

She frowned slightly. The new favorite concubine was nothing to be afraid of. What really worried her was the person who would tell tales about her and betray her.

Xie Xuanzhao thought that he had taken good care of the concubines under his command and never criticized them without reason, but he did not expect that this would still cause dissatisfaction among some people.

She was too naive and forgot that they were destined to be in opposition after all.

Xie Xuanzhao sighed. If she had a nice person who suited her taste by her side, her life wouldn't be so dull.

In the afternoon, Liu Qinglan said she was too tired and wanted to take a nap. Lulu did not suspect anything and lowered the veil, standing by the door to let her rest in peace.

After everything was quiet, Liu Qinglan quickly changed back to his original form and jumped out of the window.

She walked lightly across the courtyard, crawled through the dog hole, and all the way to the beautiful cook.

As a mountain fairy, Liu Qinglan is used to eating fresh plants and grasses, so he is not very keen on food cooked by humans with various seasonings.

She still prefers plants that are moist and juicy with morning dew, except for melon seeds, of course.

The beautiful cook Tao Xi's room was tucked away in a secluded corner of the imperial kitchen. Because Tao Xi was responsible for preparing special meals for the various concubines, cooking their favorite dishes, mostly pastries and soups, her room wasn't as heavily guarded as the other rooms.

Liu Qinglan soon saw the peach tree.

Because of the spiritual energy, this peach tree has dense branches and leaves, which are green and fresh. Under the dense leaves are small green peaches, which are very cute.

The peach tree is able to grow so well thanks to the peach blossom demon that possesses it.

Liu Qinglan's attention was completely drawn to the peach tree. She used her claws to push aside the branches and leaves, and finally saw the true form of the peach blossom demon.

A bright pink peach blossom blooms proudly on the branch, never fading all year round.

Feeling someone staring at her, the little peach blossom demon slowly opened her sleepy eyes, her face full of charm and elegance, just like a spring breeze.

Liu Qinglan curled up his long tail, stood on his two feet, squatted on the branch, and let the peach blossoms falling from the sky scatter all over his body.

Xie Xuanzhao, who was standing on a high place, caught a glimpse of this scene inadvertently.

A snow-white cat stood on the lush green branches, and the flying peach blossoms fell all over it. Green and white, white and red, the whole world was dyed with the charming, romantic and passionate spring.

Xie Xuanzhao felt his breathing become shallow. The beautiful scenery in front of him seemed to have walked out of a painting, feeling unreal.

She had lived for so many years and was accustomed to seeing palace scenery, but she had never encountered such a scene.

Especially the snow cat, whose fur was thick, glossy and smooth, as white as the first snow in early winter.

Xie Xuanzhao blinked and thought to himself: Which palace does this little thing come from? I have never seen it before.

The author has something to say: Liu Qinglan: Your pet:)
