  R\'enyi entanglement entropy provides a new window to study the AdS/CFT
correspondence. In this paper we consider the short interval expansion of
R\'enyi entanglement entropy in two-dimensional conformal field theory. This
amounts to do the operator product expansion of the twist operators. We focus
on the vacuum Verma module and consider the quasiprimary operators constructed
from the stress tensors. After obtaining the expansion coefficients of the
twist operators to level 6 in vacuum Verma module, we compute the leading
contributions to the R\'enyi entropy, to order 6 in the short interval
expansion. In the case of one short interval on cylinder, we reproduce the
first several leading contributions to the R\'enyi entropy. In the case of two
short disjoint intervals with a small cross ratio $x$, we obtain not only the
classical and 1-loop quantum contributions to the R\'enyi entropy to order
$x^6$, both of which are in perfect match with the ones found in gravity, but
also the leading $1/c$ contributions, which corresponds to 2-loop corrections
in the bulk.
