The red candles were burning brightly, the light was dim, and Xie Xuanzhao used his fingers to hook up the light pink bra hanging at his feet, then lifted it up and looked at it carefully.
The stitches are fine, the patterns are elegant, and the edges are embellished with gold. It is definitely mine.
Xie Xuanzhao hooked the red bellyband that had mysteriously appeared on Liu Qinglan's bed onto his fingertips. Then he looked at the little fairy Liu lying pretending to be dead beside him. He leaned closer to her and shook it in front of her eyes. "Hmm? Explain."
A warm breath hit her face. Liu Qinglan closed her eyes, not daring to move, pretending to be asleep.
Xie Xuanzhao touched her armpits amusingly and started tickling them without saying a word.
Liu Qinglan curled up in itchiness, pursing her lips to endure it, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing, but then she stopped laughing in an instant. Xie Xuanzhao tickled her again, "Why don't you tell me? Come on, tell me now."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Liu Qinglan turned sideways and hugged the Beauty Queen's arm, giving her a resentful look, "This... isn't this a gift from you~"
Xie Xuanzhao recalled it and it seemed that this was not the case.
"It was that time when we were playing in the lake and I caught a cold. You came to see me and Yanmo brought a big package, right?" Liu Qinglan shook her arm and described it carefully, and finally succeeded in awakening Xie Xuanzhao's memory.
Yan Mo said that it was not appropriate to give her a phoenix robe, so she changed into other clothes. Hmm, I didn’t expect that the clothes would be this!
Xie Xuanzhao put the small item in his hand away, turned his head to look at the instantly self-righteous Little Fairy Liu, and said calmly: "Then let me ask you, how many of my personal belongings did you take? What on earth were you secretly putting under the quilt for?"
Liu Qinglan said seriously, "Small animals all have the habit of storing things."
"I remember that's a hamster's habit." Xie Xuanzhao looked at her with amusement, "I still remember that when you went to Chenxin Palace to practice court etiquette, you secretly drank my water and took my round fan..."
Liu Qinglan covered her little face with her paws, feeling shy and guilty. It turned out that she had been seen a long time ago.
After a moment, she moved her hand away, revealing her eyes, and secretly looked at the Beauty Queen.
Xie Xuanzhao was looking at her with a smile, waiting for her answer.
Liu Qinglan turned over and sat up, deciding to confess everything, so she jumped off the bed, and under Xie Xuanzhao's curious gaze, she rummaged through the drawers and took out the round fans, clothes, and pictures of beauties, and piled them on the bed.
Xie Xuanzhao rummaged through and picked up the things. No wonder Yan Mo had used such a big package that day. There were so many clothes in it, even some old clothes she had worn when she was a child.
Xie Xuanzhao held his forehead weakly and put down the small skirt in his hand.
Liu Qinglan sat cross-legged opposite her and picked up the small skirt again. "It seems to be what my beautiful sister wore when she was a child. It's very cute!"
"This was a birthday gift my mother gave me, so I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I put it at the bottom of the box and brought it into the palace." Xie Xuanzhao fiddled with the beads on it. This small skirt was made of good material, so it was still soft and comfortable after being preserved for more than ten years.
Liu Qinglan immediately said in a flattering tone: "Sister Meiren must have been very pretty and cute when she was little, like a little dumpling~"
"Ahem, don't change the subject. You haven't told me what you're collecting these for." Xie Xuanzhao reached out and gently pinched her little face.
Liu Qinglan hugged her underwear, rubbed and rubbed, rubbed to her side, leaned against her affectionately, and then said: "Because the beautiful sister has spiritual energy, it can help fairies improve their cultivation."
"Spiritual energy?" Xie Xuanzhao looked at himself curiously, but didn't find anything different.
"Perhaps it is because of the good deeds that beautiful sister has accumulated in her previous lives, so she is blessed with great fortune and abundant spiritual energy. This is very rare." While Liu Qinglan was speaking, he rubbed a lot more crazily.
Xie Xuanzhao fell into deep thought for a rare moment, so this little goblin didn't fall in love with him at first sight. Those seemingly teasing behaviors in the past were actually just trying to take advantage of his spiritual energy?
After realizing that her earlier actions were purely wishful thinking, Xie Xuanzhao covered her face, then looked at the oblivious Little Fairy Liu next to her. She pretended to be calm and asked, "When did you fall in love with me?"
Liu Qinglan shyly picked up the picture of the beauty and unfolded it in front of her. "I asked the emperor for this. I'll give it to you on my first day in the palace!"
Xie Xuanzhao suppressed his laughter, picked up his own portrait and looked at it, then...
She held the portrait under the candlelight and examined it carefully, making sure she wasn't mistaken. There was a cat's paw print on it.
She coughed softly a few times, "Why do you like paw prints so much?"
Liu Qinglan walked over and smiled, "This means it's mine. I liked you the first time I saw the portrait of the beautiful sister, really. Later, when I saw you, I liked you even more~"
Xie Xuanzhao felt better, but his expression remained calm. "But it turns out you only clung to me to get some spiritual energy. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little sad."
In fact, she was not sad at all. Instead, she felt that it was this spiritual energy that brought them together.
Liu Qinglan immediately hugged her with a guilty and compassionate look, "No, even if you don't have spiritual energy, I will still stick to you. You are so nice, I like you so much."
Xie Xuanzhao suppressed his laughter and said with a worried look on his face, "It's okay, you don't have to comfort me."
When she said this, Liu Qinglan felt even more guilty. She pounced on her and kissed her like raindrops, saying, "I love you so much." She kept kissing her until the Queen was satisfied.
The two of them lay under the same quilt. Before falling asleep, Xie Xuanzhao seemed to have suddenly remembered something and asked, "Speaking of which, how much spiritual energy have you taken from me these days?"
Liu Xiaoyao timidly nudged her with her foot, "Once you take it away, you can't take it back. And besides, beautiful sister, your spiritual energy is endless, so there's no need to worry about it being rubbed away~"
"Ahem, spiritual energy is of no use to me. But when you say that, it seems like you've taken away a lot of it, right?" Xie Xuanzhao saw through her little thoughts and touched her with his feet.
Liu Qinglan nodded shyly.
"Then I have to rub it back." Xie Xuanzhao touched her long hair.
"How do I do it?" Little Fairy Liu rolled into the arms of the Beauty Queen with excitement and anticipation, looking at her with shining eyes.
Xie Xuanzhao said meaningfully: "Take your time, there is a long way to go~"
After a good night's sleep, Liu Xiaohua, feeling refreshed, got up from the bed and saw that the beautiful queen had already gone back.
Lulu stood aside, looking at her own queen with a dazed look, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She recalled watching the queen come out of the bedroom in the morning, looking very proud and full of love. She couldn't imagine what had happened in the bedroom last night.
All signs indicate that the Queen and Concubine Yue are a couple!
When Lulu thought of this possibility, her heart started beating fast, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Liu Qinglan.
She cheated on the Emperor and won the heart of the Empress. In this huge harem, no matter who can do it, my Empress did it!
Liu Qinglan looked at Lulu strangely, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your Majesty, you are so amazing. I admire you so much." Lulu said sincerely while bringing out the steaming hot breakfast.
Liu Qinglan didn't know what she was praising herself for, but she was very happy when she heard that she was great. "No, no, just average."
Because the Queen just returned to the palace and she had another beautiful night last night, there is no need to greet her today.
Liu Qinglan really wanted to go to Chenxin Palace to continue spending time with the beautiful queen, but considering her waist and legs, she decided to wait a bit, as there was still a long way to go.
After finishing her breakfast, Liu Qinglan's eyes flickered as she began to think anxiously about how to achieve the same lifespan and destiny. Tao Xi was already in the palace, and the Peach Blossom Demon should have returned, so she immediately headed to the imperial kitchen.
The peach tree next to the room where Tao Xi lived was still growing vigorously, not affected at all by the late autumn frost.
Liu Qinglan walked lightly to the foot of the peach tree, and then saw a small colorful snake wrapped around the peach branch.
"Jiang Wenwen? You have also entered the palace?" Liu Qinglan hurried over and poked the sharp-nosed snake.
Jiang Wenwen slowly opened her eyes and hummed, "Winter is coming soon. I need to find a suitable place to hibernate. This place is perfect."
Liu Qinglan looked at the late autumn scene of withered flowers and fallen leaves, and suddenly felt that time was passing so quickly. She stood on tiptoe, climbed up the peach blossom branch, and asked, "Where have you been these days? I can't find the Peach Blossom Fairy."
Jiang Wenwen hissed and said, "She's injured and is in seclusion recently. Don't disturb her."
"Injured? Why is he injured?" Liu Qinglan immediately thought of the plague evil spirit he encountered in Qingfeng Town. There was no movement for such a long time. Was it because the Peach Blossom Demon took action to solve the problem?
"Hey, this is related to her little lover, isn't it because..."
A peach blossom fell slowly, interrupting what Jiang Wenwen was about to say. The charming voice of the peach blossom demon came, "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"
Jiang Wenwen curled up her tail guiltily, indicating that she didn't dare to say anything, and blinked at Liu Qinglan.
"Peach Blossom Demon, are you okay? Do you want me to help you take a look?" Liu Qinglan simply climbed up the peach tree, pulled apart the branches and leaves, and was about to look for the ancient peach blossom inside.
"No need." The Peach Blossom Demon looked down on her as always, then paused and added, "Your cultivation seems to have improved quite a bit recently, which is cause for celebration."
Liu Qinglan blushed and suddenly felt embarrassed to speak.
"Let me guess, are you practicing dual cultivation with the Queen?" Jiang Wenwen said mischievously from the side.
Liu Qinglan decided to put aside his pride for the sake of his own problem, so he nodded and asked, "Do you have a way to make humans and monsters live the same lifespan?"
The Peach Blossom Demon suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere around him was somewhat sad.
Liu Qinglan thought he had said something wrong and quickly looked at Jiang Wenwen.
Jiang Wenwen shook her tail, indicating that she didn't dare to say it, and that the Peach Blossom Demon had to say it herself.
"Of course there is a way." Peach Blossom Demon's tone was calm, as if she was suppressing some turbulent emotions. "But your palace has been very unstable recently. I'm afraid something big is going to happen. So you can't go anywhere. You must stay in the palace to protect the Queen. Support each other through this period. Everything will be fine after that."
Liu Qinglan's heart tightened immediately. "What's the big deal?"
The Peach Blossom Demon let out a long breath, "I observed the Emperor's star falling a few days ago. The Emperor won't live long."
The author has something to say: I really want to write a storyline about Peach Blossom Demon and Tao Xi, it is very thrilling and touching, but I can only imagine it in my mind, I can't let them overshadow the protagonist's role (laughing and crying)
I'll write it in the extra chapter later~~~
