On the Self-cultivation of the Concubine

The autumn scenery in the deep palace is bleak, and the fallen leaves are falling. Several sweeping maids are cleaning up dead branches and fallen leaves on the roadside between the palaces, very busy.

Liu Qinglan came out of the imperial dining room, feeling quite uneasy, and walked towards Chenshen Palace all the way.

"Little son, please slow down."

"Oh, the ball rolled away, hurry up and pick it up."

Liu Qinglan heard a burst of hurried footsteps and voices, and hurriedly stopped, and a glazed ball had already rolled by her feet.

She bent down to pick up the ball, and the court lady who came to pick it up hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the concubine Yue. This is the glazed ball played by the little prince, and it rolled to the ground. The slaves came to pick it up."

Liu Qinglan played with the delicate ball in her hand, looked at the little boy who staggered towards him, and smiled, "It turns out that the little prince has entered the palace, do you want to visit the empress too?"

The maid quickly responded, "Exactly."

The little prince looks like a fairy in the painting, and Liu Qinglan likes it very much. She bends down to hug this white and tender child who looks like a dumpling. The child also smiles and looks at the The beautiful young lady threw herself into Liu Qinglan's embrace.

"Zhen'er, don't be rude, this is the concubine Yue, why don't you hurry up and say hello." A sharp voice suddenly sounded, and then a well-maintained noble lady rushed over and took the little prince away.

Although polite and polite, it is full of alienation and guard.

Liu Qinglan withdrew her hand and regretted not hugging the human cub.

Xiao Shizi was carried back by his mother, and could only look at the glazed ball in her hand helplessly.

"By the way, I'll return this ball to you." Liu Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward and handed the ball to the maid.

Princess Ding stepped forward to salute, still protecting her youngest son, looking very precious.

Liu Qinglan noticed that the princess didn't like her and was very wary, so she took a few steps back and didn't go to Chenshen Palace with her.

"Zhen'er, this is the palace, don't let anyone touch you casually, your current status is very precious."

Liu Qinglan's ears are very sensitive, so Princess Ding can still hear what she said to Xiao Shizi even though she is far away.

Xiao Shizi's aggrieved voice came, "I don't want to enter the palace, I hate this place!"

"What are you talking about?" The child's complaining voice was muffled.

Liu Qinglan stood under a sycamore tree, playing with a dead leaf boredly.She didn't understand before, but after listening to the Peach Blossom Demon say that the emperor's life is not long, this position has been vacated. The emperor likes men and has no intention of heirs, so he has nothing to do so far.

Liu Qinglan heard the beauty queen mention it, but she didn't take it to heart before, but now she realizes that this issue is quite important.The crown prince selected by the Xie family is the youngest son of Prince Ding, the son of the emperor's younger brother, and the bloodline has not changed, so the emperor acquiesced.

In other words, this little prince will be raised under the lap of the beauty queen in the future.

Liu Qinglan sighed leisurely, feeling something blocked in her heart, very uncomfortable.Looking at the water lily in front of her, she simply sat down, took out the book Huaidan gave her from her sleeve, and continued to focus on finding a way to live the same life, waiting for the beauty queen to finish her visit before going to Chenshen Palace.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and the seat where Liu Qinglan was sitting was covered by a clump of bushes, so she was never noticed by anyone, and there were always maids sweeping and gossiping occasionally.

Liu Qinglan's cat ears are very sensitive, but she has heard a lot of gossip.

"I heard that His Majesty has been ill recently, but he still sings every night. I don't know what method those young gentlemen used."

"I was washing the floor in front of the imperial court that day, and I caught a glimpse of a young man who was even more attractive than a woman."

"Maybe one day he will find you."

"Shh, stop talking nonsense."

Liu Qinglan rubbed her ears, what a mess.She settled down and continued to read the books on her knees.

Not long after, there were footsteps coming from behind, and Princess Ding's sharp voice suddenly said, "This is a reward from the Empress Empress, you leave it to your mother for safekeeping, don't let it go."

There was a bang, as if something fell to the ground.

"How can you be so nonsense!" Princess Ding wanted to hit but dared not, for fear of making noise and attracting crowds to watch.

Xiao Shizi's voice was very aggrieved, "Ever since the empress met me, my mother has always scolded me. Zhen'er doesn't know what I did wrong. Now it seems that even walking is wrong."

Princess Ding ordered her maid to pick up the colored porcelain that was broken on the ground, but said: "I will tell you when mother returns."

Liu Qinglan lay on the bush curiously, looked at them, and met Xiao Shizi's eyes.

She blinked, Xiao Shizi looked at her, his eyes lit up, he hesitated to speak, and then he was dragged away by his mother.

It looked like this little guy was going to be taught a lesson when he got home.

Liu Qinglan touched her ears, jumped out from the bushes, and watched them go away, this little prince is not so easy to be, at this moment she actually felt a little sympathetic to this kid.

Regardless, it's simply not her own business, Liu Qinglan waited for a long time, and finally waited until the visitor had left, so she rushed to Chenshen Palace decisively.

Yan Mo saw Concubine Yue coming by herself from a distance, she looked like a naughty boy returning home after playing wildly outside, she couldn't help smiling, and quickly rolled up the curtain.

Xie Xuanzhao was standing in front of the window admiring the flowers. Seeing Yan Mo rolling the curtain, he turned his head and asked, "But there are visitors again?"

Just now Xiaoshizi seemed unhappy, she took out many gadgets to make the child happy, but the effect was minimal, finally the princess couldn't sit still, and said that Xiaoshizi was suffering from a bit of cold, maybe he was going to get sick, so he was in a bad mood, Xie Xuanzhao let them go back.

As soon as they left, Xie Xuanzhao was able to enjoy peace and enjoy the pot of begonias that Yan Mo had just brought back.

Yan Mo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the person who accompanied you to enjoy the flowers is here."

Swinging a sycamore leaf in her hand, Liu Qinglan hopped into the yard, passed the roller blind very familiarly, and in a blink of an eye saw the beautiful queen leaning against the mahogany window, with a pot of open flowers next to her. The beautiful begonias.

Beauty with flowers complement each other.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, Liu Qinglan was in a good mood, and jumped in front of Xie Xuanzhao.

Xie Xuanzhao tapped the tip of her nose, "You, have you forgotten how to walk when Madam Gao taught you?"

"I'm letting go of my nature~" Liu Qinglan hugged half of her body and stuck to her body, "Beauty sister, you are ready to draw."

There was a picture album on the table, Liu Qinglan stood on tiptoe and leaned over, feeling very familiar.

The painting is a picture of a cat playing a butterfly, that snow-white kitten, with a long tail and mane, seems to be his own!

Xie Xuanzhao took her hand and came to the case, "This is Yan Mohua's work to relieve me. I think there is something missing and I plan to make up for it."

She handed the paintbrush to Liu Qinglan's hand, "Can you draw?"

"I'm good at drawing!" Little Fairy Liu said confidently.

Seeing that she spoke so confidently, Xie Xuanzhao believed her completely.

Outside the window, the autumn air is crisp and the sun is warm. It is suitable for sitting in the yard for an afternoon.

So Yan Mo took a few palace people to arrange the couch and fruit snacks, and prepared the painting tools, and put out the potted plants that were carefully cultivated on weekdays to create a beautiful scenery.

Liu Qinglan stood solemnly in front of the scroll, picked up the paintbrush in a dignified manner, looked at the beauty queen and asked, "What is missing in this painting? I'll help you paint it~"

Xie Xuanzhao held an ivory fan of the imperial concubine Xiang in his hand, propped his forehead with his hands, and lay on his side on the carved red sandalwood couch, surrounded by clusters of flowers, as if lying among flowers.She looked at Liu Qinglan who was holding a paintbrush opposite, with a smile in her eyes, and her red lips parted slightly: "Me."

What?Draw a beauty queen?Liu Qinglan shook her hand, she didn't expect it to be epic!

Xie Xuanzhao made a pose, and seeing her hesitate, suddenly felt a little worried, "Are you really good at drawing?"

Liu Qinglan waved her hand, saying that it's nothing to worry about~ However, she touched her ears, "Can I draw a few flowers first?"

"can."

So Liu Qinglan began to paint seriously, while Xie Xuanzhao held the snow ball, drinking tea and admiring the flowers while waiting.

"Can you let me see it first?" Xie Xuanzhao waited for a while, really curious, so he asked.

Liu Qinglan hurriedly stretched out her hand to half cover the drawing paper, with a mysterious look, "No, you can't see it until all the drawings are finished."

Xie Xuanzhao then continued to wait patiently, and put the snow ball on his lap under the flower pot, letting him smell the flowers by himself.She was lying on her side, watching the snow ball rolling and playing with her tail under the flowers, she suddenly had another thought, looked at Liu Qinglan and said: "The kitten drawn by Yanmo is just playing, why don't you draw me as if I am teasing the cat?" ,How about it?"

Liu Qinglan blushed, didn't she just want to draw a beauty queen to amuse herself...

She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Xuanzhao who was lying on the opposite side with watery eyes. Even though her clothes were intact and her makeup was impeccable, she still laid out all kinds of amorous feelings, which was more seductive than disheveled clothes.

"It's... the beautiful sister on the bed?"

Xie Xuanzhao almost choked on the tea in his mouth, the tips of his ears turned red, this little elf has learned to speak nasty words.

Seeing her like that, Liu Qinglan didn't seem to be, she said with a serious and puzzled face: "But sister beauty only teased me in bed."

Xie Xuanzhao slowly swallowed the tea in his mouth, then sat up, and waved to her with the round fan in his hand.

Little Fairy Liu put down the paintbrush in her hand, and ran over in a hurry.

Xie Xuanzhao hugged her with a smirk on his face, pressed her on the autumn-colored soft cushion, rubbed her on the tofu for a while before saying, "You will change back to your original shape soon."

"Why?" Liu Qinglan blinked.

"Let me show you how I amuse cats, so you won't be able to draw." Xie Xuanzhao touched her red ears and said calmly.

Liu Qinglan wowed, and then looked at the snow ball lying under the flowers, "Isn't there a ready-made kitten, it is a real kitten!"

Xie Xuanzhao pinched her fair and tender face, "That's different, can teasing my wife be the same as teasing an ordinary kitten?"

It must be exciting and exciting~

The author has something to say: Fairy Liu: I am more worried that you will bald me.

Beauty Queen: How come :)

Liu Xiaomao: Your eyes, tell me, you will...
