The red gauze tent is warm, the purple clay incense burner with qin pattern emits a faint fragrance, and the winter moonlight is cold and chilly.
Xie Xuanzhao removed the hairpin from the beautiful Liu's head, and her black hair spread out like dense water plants, hanging down to her waist.
Xie Xuanzhao reached out and stroked her long hair, which was as smooth as water, black and thick. Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help laughing when he remembered what she said about it not shedding.
Perhaps it is because of this reason that the girl's black hair is so smooth.
Xie Xuanzhao said, "Do you know what I thought when I first saw you?"
Liu Qinglan looked up at her, full of curiosity, "What is it?"
"I wonder where this little devil came from. She is so ignorant of the world." Xie Xuanzhao said vaguely, but in fact he thought she was silly and cute.
Liu Qinglan got up and exclaimed, "I'm very smart."
She had heard the Queen teasing her. She stroked her hair, leaned closer, and said with a delicate look on her face, "Tell me, am I smart?"
The beautiful queen laughed softly.
Xie Xuanzhao lowered his eyes, looking at the cute and well-behaved Little Willow before him, and said in a low, sexy voice, "Don't turn into a little Feifei for me later, or I will punish you."
Liu Qinglan twitched his ears playfully, leaned over and whispered, "I've absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the beautiful sister, and my cultivation has improved a lot, so I can completely control myself."
Xie Xuanzhao felt much more relieved and relaxed, completely immersed in it.
The red gauze curtains were warm, and the thin skirt faded lightly. Willow Fairy was like the finest white jade, her skin white as snow. Lying on the pale red quilt, the red and white were so vivid that it was heart-warming. Xie Xuanzhao touched her long, inky hair, and in his busy schedule, he still had the mind to ask, "Qinglan, why are you so white? It's as if you've never been in the sun."
Liu Qinglan had a little pride on her face as she said softly, "Because I am a snow-white little beast. I was born this white."
Xie Xuanzhao chuckled softly a few times. Yes, he had never seen a small animal's snow-white fur get tanned from the sun. This was something humans could never envy.
Liu Qinglan raised her eyes and looked at the fair and beautiful face of the Beauty Queen. She followed her example and gently poked her cheek with her hand. "Sister Beauty is also very fair."
Xie Xuanzhao looked at her mischievously, "That's because you haven't seen me when I was black. My aunt called me Little Black Girl when I was a child."
"I can't see it, and I can't imagine it." Liu Qinglan shook her head seriously, touching her fair face with her fingertips.
The beauty queen grabbed her fingers, held them in her palm, looked at her affectionately and tenderly, then slowly leaned closer to her.
The red veil fell to the ground, obscuring the romantic scene. Liu Qinglan, in her turmoil, was still obsessed with the pink peach beneath her pillow. So, she hooked her arms around the Beauty Queen and lay down under her pillow, wrapping her arms around her neck. She struggled to climb over her, then searched under the pillow for a long time. Finally, under the Beauty Queen's puzzled gaze, she found the ripe, large, red peach.
Xie Xuanzhao reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead while curiously looking at the juicy peach lying in the palm of Little Willow's hand. "Where did these peaches come from? It's not easy to get peaches in this winter."
"I'm a fairy, so of course I can get the fruit-bearing peaches." Liu Qinglan said with a little pride.
Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help but reach out and fiddle with the red peach. "A fruit-bearing peach?"
"It means that she can give birth to babies." Liu Qinglan whispered softly beside the beautiful queen's ear.
Xie Xuanzhao's cheeks grew slightly hot, and he felt a secret sense of anticipation and excitement in his heart. "Really? Then what should we do?"
Liu Qinglan hugged her tightly, hanging on her like a koala, and whispered in her ear: "Let's eat this peach together, half for you and half for me."
Xie Xuanzhao found it a little unbelievable, but looking at the sincere, serious and sparkling eyes of the little beauty in her arms, she decided to believe her completely, so she did as she said, lowered her head, slightly opened her teeth, and took a bite of the peach between her fingers.
The flesh of these red and white peaches is juicy, sweet and crispy, and can be considered the best peach.
Following her teeth marks, Liu Qinglan also lowered his head and took a big bite. The peach flesh was juicy and fragrant between his lips and teeth.
Xie Xuanzhao stared at her as she nibbled on the peach flesh, and felt that it was too boring to just share the peach and eat it, so she took a bite with a smile, not in a hurry to bite it open, and kissed the peach, and finally passed the warm peach flesh in her mouth to Liu Qinglan's mouth.
By accident, he completed the correct steps to share the peach and eat it.
So, in the midst of their passionate love, the two hid under the quilt, fed each other, and ate the whole peach.
Xie Xuanzhao was surprised, "This peach has no pit."
"Because this is a fairy peach." Liu Qinglan, who had secretly swallowed the peach pit, rested her head on the beautiful queen's jade arm and reached out to touch her belly. "Do you think I'm pregnant?"
Xie Xuanzhao followed her hand and touched her belly with amusement, "How could it be so fast?"
"Our Feifei will be able to give birth in March." Liu Qinglan coughed lightly and explained in a low voice.
Xie Xuanzhao paused, "Well, won't you give birth to human babies?" She suddenly remembered that kittens give birth to a whole litter, so she quickly looked at the little fairy Liu's belly, her heart itching, "Tell me, will you give birth to many little orcs?"
Liu Qinglan's eyes were blank, and he said innocently, "I don't know."
Xie Xuanzhao held her in his arms, the sweet taste of peach flesh still lingering in his mouth. His mind was wandering and he couldn't fall asleep, so he began to rub and knead the soft body of the little fairy Liu.
Liu Qinglan was also too excited to sleep, her eyes sparkling, as excited as a cat seeing a ball of yarn. She just lay limply on the Beauty Queen's lap, continuing her previous joy.
Xie Xuanzhao looked at their long hair tangled together and said seriously, "Perhaps to make this peach meat work better, we need to be more affectionate."
Liu Qinglan covered her eyes and nodded with a shy smile.
"Then why don't we stay up all night..."
In the Qinglan Palace bedroom, a bed was hidden beneath a voluptuous bed, and two figures cast a striking shadow beneath the candlelight. The fruiting peach gradually began to take effect, and between the two, their yin and yang merged, their bones and blood fused.
After a night of great joy, Xie Xuanzhao gently carried the sleeping little fairy Liu into the quilt, touched her face, then tidied himself up and went out to the front hall, as there were important things waiting for her today.
The thought of the woman she had to protect in the harem reassured Xie Xuanzhao. She would bravely forge ahead, no matter how thorny or dagger-piercing the road ahead, striving for a position and status that no one else could question, so that she and Liu Qinglan could be together without any obstacles.
In the front hall, the head of the Xie family had already been waiting. When he saw his sister's calm and determined eyes, he knew that she had thought it through and was willing to take on the heavy responsibility.
He walked over, but there was no one beside him. Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help but wonder, "Where is the young master?"
In the hall today, if the young prince, the pre-selected crown prince, was not there, how could the ministers be willing to work together with peace of mind?
The Xie family's head shook his head solemnly and said, "I just learned last night that Prince Ding had been colluding with Lin Yulang, working together from within and without. They were planning to bypass our Xie family and personally support the young prince to ascend the throne. This would give him, the retired emperor, a legitimate reason to become regent."
"We've long known Prince Ding's intentions." Xie Xuanzhao's expression grew cold. "We just didn't expect him to be so impatient, revealing his true colors at the first opportunity."
"Prince Ding refuses to believe that we, outsiders, would truly support the young prince. He thinks we're just creating a puppet emperor." Patriarch Xie clasped his hands together, gazing out the window at the bleak scenery. "Sister, this is human nature."
Xie Xuanzhao pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then until a suitable candidate appears, I'll have to trouble you, brother, to take charge of the administration and control the situation."
The Xie family's Patriarch looked at her with deep eyes, "Sister, have you come up with any ideas?"
"Since they believe that we are supporting a puppet young emperor, then we should find another candidate for the crown prince. Prince Ding is not the only one in the royal family who has a son." Xie Xuanzhao said coldly.
"It's not easy to change the candidate for the crown prince. I'm afraid it will cause a fight between the two factions and endless arguments in the court."
Xie Xuanzhao's eyes flashed, "Brother, please wait for news."
This dragged on for half a month. The emperor's funeral was over, and the head of the Xie family temporarily took over as regent. The harem was controlled by Xie Xuanzhao, and the court was in an uproar, saying that the world belonged to the Xie family.
Patriarch Xie treated the situation coldly, continued to tightly control government affairs, and suppressed the rebellion with all his might, using the excuse of carefully selecting a crown prince, until Prince Ding could no longer sit still.
Prince Ding held the trump card of the young prince and was very arrogant and complacent for a few days. But when he saw that the palace had not yet announced the intention of appointing a new king, he realized that something had changed.
So Prince Ding gathered the remaining followers of Lin Yulang and began to fight back.
Xie Xuanzhao was immediately chilled by the speed at which Prince Ding changed his expression, but was also extremely glad that he had not really supported the young prince to become the new king. Otherwise, what would have been waiting for her in the future would have been a bloody and bleak life as a disgraced empress dowager in the deep palace.
On the deep winter morning before New Year's Eve, Prince Ding's trusted officials took the lead in making trouble, urging the early enthronement of a new monarch and accusing the empress of abusing her power and deliberately not enthroning a new emperor.
Xie Xuanzhao sat at the top, calm and composed, watching the chattering officials below. When they had enough, she stood up, surveyed the surroundings, and spoke with dignity and authority, "Why haven't you appointed a new emperor yet? It's because His Majesty passed away so suddenly. It took time to process. You shouldn't be so impatient."
"The national mourning has lasted for half a month, and there's still no sign of a new emperor being enthroned. How can we not be anxious?!"
Xie Xuanzhao sneered, looked at Prince Ding, who stood aside with a confident look, and said slowly, "That's because I think Prince Ding's youngest son is not suitable to be the new emperor."
"The Empress herself selected him in the first place, but now she says he's not suitable. She's changing her mind so quickly that it's hard to convince anyone."
Xie Xuanzhao stood at the top, looked around at the ministers, and said, "How do you know that the emperor has no posthumous child?"
The author has something to say: The recent updates have been a bit chaotic, sorry, but it should return to normal later.
