On the Self-cultivation of the Concubine

Huoshan Mountain is continuous, with many mulberry trees. In autumn, the fruit is orange and red. Looking from a distance, it looks like a flame burning into balls among the branches and leaves.

Xie Xuanzhao raised the curtain of the car and looked at the mountain scenery not far away. He didn't think Huoshan was like it before, but looking at it today, he felt very special.

Yan Mo said from the side: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have already gone to the arranged rooms. Your Majesty and the ministers are going to the high cabinet to discuss matters. The guards and sergeants are patrolling around. Miss, do you plan to go back to the dormitory first or..."

Xie Xuanzhao looked at Jinxiu Huoshan in front of him, "I'll go shopping first."

"Yes." Yanmo helped her raise the car curtain, and helped her get off Fengluan.

The Royal Palace is built on the hillside, hidden among ancient trees, low-key yet exquisite.

There is a tall pavilion built in the air, standing on it overlooking the mountain scenery, convenient for onlookers to watch the hunting scene, so the emperor sat here very early, surrounded by ministers, seemingly discussing important matters, but in fact he was just enjoying the scenery and drinking tea. By the way, molested the young and handsome courtiers.

And the concubines are placed in the wing room, and cannot move around at will, waiting to be summoned.

Lulu directed the palace maids to clean up the wing room, and then spread the bed curtains.

Liu Qinglan sat in front of the window with her knees hugged, looking at the mountains and forests where she had lived for hundreds of years. She was in a good mood, and couldn't help but want to move around, "Lulu, I want to sleep first, so I won't go over for dinner."

"Your Majesty, this is a royal banquet, not only the empresses, but also the court ministers will be present." Lulu walked over to persuade.

Liu Qinglan supported her forehead, pretending to have a headache, "I have a headache from being jolted by the carriage along the way, and I want to sleep, so I won't go." As she spoke, she jumped off the window sill, lay directly on the quilt that Lulu had just laid, and closed her eyes .

Lulu looked at her coquettish mother and had no choice but to give up, "Then I will tell His Majesty that my mother is not feeling well and cannot attend."

Liu Qinglan continued to sleep with her eyes closed, and waved her hand, signaling for Lulu to go quickly.

It was a grand banquet in the evening, and the imperial chefs who followed were very busy.

Tao Xi was in charge of desserts, and because she wanted to make a sweet soup, she ran to the mountains and planned to use clear spring water as ingredients.

She was carrying a small wooden bucket in her hand, and she was humming while walking on the path covered with fallen leaves. In the distance was the setting sun that was about to go down the mountain. It was round, big, golden and very beautiful.

Taoxi searched several places, and finally found a pool of spring water she was satisfied with. She squatted down, scooped it up with a wooden spoon, put it in her mouth and smashed it.

Sweet and moist, it is just right for pear water.

She bit the edge of the wooden spoon, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and then she saw a peach tree growing beside the spring.

This peach tree looked very familiar, almost exactly the same as the one growing in front of my house.

At this moment, the sun is setting and shining goldenly on the peach tree, the branches are full of peach blossoms in full bloom, the petals are fluttering with the evening wind, tender and lingering.

The wooden spoon in Taoxi's hand fell into the bucket, staring blankly at this peach tree that suddenly appeared, and the... peach blossoms that bloomed in autumn.

She walked over slowly, brushing the branches with her fingers, and filled her hands with peach blossoms.The branch seemed to have spiritual energy, scratching her palm under the breeze.

"Meow~"

Suddenly there was a meowing sound from the depths of the branches and leaves, Taoxi looked over quickly, and saw a snow-white cat standing on the branch, but it was different from ordinary kittens.

There is a clump of mane on the back of her neck, and her long snow-white tail is smooth and smooth, with faint quaint lines.

A pair of green like emerald cat eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts, and they are looking at themselves.

Taoxi looked around, but there was no one.I heard that there are many ghosts in this mountain forest, and the appearance of this flower and cat is really weird.

"Look, you scared her." This cat was Liu Qinglan's original body. She followed the instructions given by the Peach Blossom Demon all the way, and finally found the Peach Blossom Demon's hiding place.

Good guy, she turned into a peach tree again.

It was only later that Liu Qinglan found out that wherever Tao Xi went, the Peach Blossom Demon would follow her and grow a peach tree nearby.

"I can't go anywhere except by her side. So there's nothing I can do about it." The Peach Blossom Demon lay in the depths of the branches and leaves, seemingly helpless, but actually enjoyed it very much.

Liu Qinglan touched her slightly with her tail, "I don't think Cook Mei dares to go back alone."

"As soon as you came back, those little animals smelled your breath, and they all clamored to break into the palace to see you. I stopped them for you, so you have to help me now." The peach blossom demon turned Turning around, he said lazily, "There is also your beauty queen, I can see that the cloud of black air is inseparable, and it has also come to Huoshan, you have to be careful and protect her."

Liu Qinglan watched Taoxi go to fetch water, and quickly asked: "What is the origin of that ball of black air?"

"I made a secret investigation along the way, and finally figured it out." The Peach Blossom Demon said seriously, "Do you know what our Peach Blossom God cares about?"

"What the hell?"

"Take care of the peach blossoms, that is, the bond of love." The peach blossom demon narrowed her charming eyes, "Although I am not serious about drawing red lines, I am still a peach blossom demon anyway. I know a little bit about this harem love relationship like the palm of my hand."

Liu Qinglan was confused, "Love? If there is love, what will happen?"

"Just like Taoxi and I, we are inseparable from life to life. Wherever she goes, I will go."

Liu Qinglan suddenly stopped talking, she thought of herself and the beauty queen, wondering if there was a relationship...

The Peach Blossom Demon looked at her narrowly, but deliberately didn't say anything, and continued to talk about the black air, "The harem is complicated, and love relationships are also full of branches. There will always be evil fates. In addition, the pregnancy of women in the harem is extremely dangerous. It is also normal for the fetus to appear. Over time, the infant aura is formed."

"Baby spirit energy?"

"It has no harmful power in itself, because it is formed by the condensation of fetal gas, and there are many unjust deaths, so the biggest long-cherished wish is to use the belly to support life, but human beings have different paths, and it is impossible to achieve it with their power alone. Entering into a woman's body, you can only appear as a fake pregnancy, just deceiving yourself and others." The peach blossom demon said here, feeling quite emotional, "In the end, they are all pitiful."

Liu Qinglan thought to herself: It turned out to be a matter of reproduction.It really does matter.

"Then what are these people trying to do by raising up the baby spirit energy?"

The Peach Blossom Demon said again: "The emperor doesn't like female sex, so he can't give birth to heirs. These people just want to make a heir. Recently, I found that this group of baby spirits seems to have their own opinions, and they always run to Chenshen Palace, maybe It’s because you’ve picked someone you like, and you’re ready to enter your body.”

"Ah, you mean the beauty queen..." Liu Qinglan couldn't help becoming a little anxious, unable to imagine that if the empress woke up one day and found out that she was pregnant...

The Peach Blossom Demon said in a deep tone, "So, it's up to you. Now only you can help the empress avoid this disaster."

Liu Qinglan quickly asked, "What should I do?"

"Now you help me send Taoxi back first, and I will tell you what to do later." The peach blossom demon seemed to be tired, and slowly closed her eyes.

As she closed her eyes, the peach blossoms that covered the branches gathered together, then withered and fell to the ground one after another.

Taoxi scooped up the spring water with a wooden spoon and filled a bucket with pale pink peach petals floating in the bucket.After her initial surprise, she was able to accept it calmly.

I even started to plan to make peach blossom soup in my heart.

Taoxi was lifting the barrel when she saw the cat jump off the branch, rolled into a white ball, and reached her feet.

The cat seemed to be spiritual. Its paws were on the edge of the barrel. It first looked curiously, and then followed closely at its feet.

Seeing her lively and cute appearance, Taoxi was no longer afraid, and took it back to the imperial dining room together.

Taoxi's kitchen is full of cooks, the division of labor is orderly, and they are very busy.

In the lingering smoke, no one noticed that there was a cat lying beside Taoxi's barrel.

Taoxi rolled up her sleeves and looked around, she packed a small raw fish and a few sticks of corn as fast as she could, and brought them to the cat, "Eat here obediently, don't run around. "

Seeing the corn, Liu Qinglan straightened her cat's eyes. Hearing this, she nodded her head desperately. It would be good to rub against the beautiful cook, and there would be delicious food.

Taoxi smiled, it's amazing that this cat can understand people's speech.

Willow cat wagged its tail and began to concentrate on eating.

The cooks were chatting while working, and they talked about tonight's banquet.

"It's a pity that the concubine Yue didn't come, otherwise there might be a good show to watch."

"I looked at the little prince, he looks beautiful, it's really good."

"However, everyone is guessing that His Majesty will not let the queen mother raise the youngest son, and he will still have to be raised by Concubine Yue."

Liu Qinglan who was eating corn almost choked, what?Let yourself raise human cubs?What does the emperor think? !And why don't you discuss it with yourself?

"The food is served, stop chatting."

"This is a royal matter, don't discuss it in private, don't worry about it?"

They chattered a few more words, and finally the fun subsided.

Liu Qinglan was no longer in the mood to eat.What she heard today was too shocking, she had to go back and digest it slowly.

In the night, the snow-white kitten jumped over the window, ready to jump back to the west wing of the palace.

At this time, she suddenly saw a familiar figure sneaking across the courtyard and running towards the back hill.

Fast as a ghost, no one notices.

If the cat's eyes were not so bright at night, Liu Qinglan would not have noticed her.

The younger sister was dressed in a black dress, with a dagger hidden in her sleeve, and went to the back mountain after crossing the palace.

In front of her was a wisp of black air.

This wisp of black air is really weird, it's not as vicious as the previous few times, and it doesn't attack him anymore.

Finally, the black air led her to a peach blossom tree.

Liu Qinglan hurriedly stopped and observed secretly.

Under the moonlight, the peach tree is full of flowers on the branches again, light pink and tender, blowing in the wind.

The branches are sparse and slanted, the fragrance is floating, and the atmosphere is just right.

The Peach Blossom Demon was awakened. She followed Taoxi all the way to Huoshan on a long journey, and grew this peach tree within one day, which took a lot of effort.

The younger sister slightly opened her eyes wide, looking at the peach blossoms blooming in autumn in front of her, she was very surprised, wondering if this is a ghostly tree.

Ever since she encountered the cloud of black air with her own eyes, she just believed that the ghosts and gods recorded in the books her sister kept really existed.She can't help but feel miraculous.But he held the dagger in his hand unambiguously, preparing to fight it again when the black air was agitated.

Everything was silent, and suddenly under the moonlight came a clear and immature voice, like an eight-year-old human girl, but what she said was shocking.

"Peach Blossom Demon, Peach Blossom Demon, I know that you are in charge of the relationship between our demon spirits, so I specially brought her here to register with you."

Liu Qinglan only felt that her brain was racing, and only now did she know the true origin of this peach blossom demon!

The author has something to say: Beauty Queen: No flirting today, not happy.

Little Fairy Liu: Ahem, love!Do you want!
