The prince is very fierce

Two large red lanterns hung on the gate of the palace, and several guards patrolled the streets outside.

The light was dim behind the red lacquered door. Mrs. Lu was wearing a dark green dress, with her hands on her waist, hiding somewhere neatly.

Her pretty face has no expression at all, but her familiar and charming eyes cannot be concealed. She seems to be hiding a thousand words of resentment and thoughts, which can wear down even the toughest man to the bone. .

"Aunt Lu, haha... why are you hiding behind the door? You didn't even notice it just now..."

Xu Bu Ling turned around cautiously, as if a man who had gone out for sex had been caught, and tried to smile as naturally as possible.

Mrs. Lu frowned and stared at Xu Buling for a long time, until Xu Buling's scalp went numb. Then she slowly took two steps forward, leaned towards Xu Buling's chest and smelled it.

The subtle fragrance of orchid is astonishing.

Xu Buling was a little amused. He raised his hands and looked calm and composed. Since he had suffered a loss at the hands of Song Yufu before, he had paid close attention to this aspect and could not smell like other women.

After Mrs. Lu smelled it, she found that there was no wild woman smell. Her expression softened a little, and she raised her cheek and glanced at Xu Buling:

"Where are you going to play? You're having a lot of fun humming a little tune. You're also good at martial arts, and you can see all directions and listen to all directions. Who are you thinking about? Even a big aunt like me can't even see..."

Xu Buling raised his hand to help Mrs. Lu, but Mrs. Lu twisted her waist to avoid it, with a look like "Don't touch me, I'm not your aunt", so she had to smile helplessly:

"The moonlight is nice. I went out on horseback to enjoy the scenery and bought a bottle of wine."

"Really?"

Mrs. Lu looked aside, not looking at Xu Buling.

Xu Buling was helpless. He whistled and called Chai Fengma over. He took the wine gourd from it, opened the stopper and approached Mrs. Lu:

"Last time, Aunt Lu gave me two bottles of wine. After drinking it, I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't forget it. I didn't even want to drink Duan Yushao, so I went to Sun's shop to buy it. I even gave it a name, just... Well, let’s call it ‘Hongluan Erguotou’…”

"T-What a mess..."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she showed a bit of annoyance. She leaned over the wine gourd and smelled it. She frowned and covered her nose with her sleeves. She hummed softly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care where you go at night." , Just don’t get into trouble.”

Xu Buling picked up the wine gourd and took a sip. He looked like he was having a long aftertaste, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Aunt Lu, I have my own sense of discretion."

"What's your point of view?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she became angry again. She raised her hand and pinched Xu Buling's waist a few times: "We agreed not to enter the palace. We agreed not to enter the palace. Yesterday we ran into the palace again. You just think I'm like this?" Isn’t it easy to lie to an aunt? You say what you say in the morning and then forget about it in the afternoon..."

Xu Buling pretended to be in pain, grabbed Mrs. Lu's wrist, and said helplessly: "The Queen Mother is an elder, she almost stewed Xiao Ting..."

"What does it have to do with you if Xiao Ting is stewed?"

"It's none of my business. I just went over to see how miserable Xiao Ting was. Scenes of boiling people alive are rare. It's so fun for Xiao Ting to cry for his father and mother..."

"..."

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, unable to find anything to say, so she was still supported by Xu Buling.

While chatting, the two walked through the verandah and came to the bedroom in the back house. There was a vermilion food box on the table in the bedroom, and the tea had gone cold. It had obviously been a while since I arrived.

Mrs. Lu walked to the table and sat down. She opened the food box and took out the homemade snacks inside:

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

Xu Buling sat next to him, picked up the snack and ate it, then said "Hmm~" "It's great."

Mrs. Lu was a little amused. She thought about it for a moment and sighed softly, "By the way, the Queen Mother didn't teach you a lesson when you entered the palace yesterday, right? She just said some... well, some messy things."

This naturally refers to 'having evil intentions and likes to do things that shouldn't be done to women.' Mrs. Lu almost forgot about this when she was distracted by the Li family's affairs a few days ago. Yesterday, Xu Bu Ling carried her into the palace. She was worried that the Queen Mother would say some ridiculous things that she shouldn't say.

Xu Buling eavesdropped on the conversation on the roof and knew what was going on. He shook his head and chuckled:

"The Queen Mother also blamed me for hiding outside the city. After having a meal and chatting for a few words, she left the palace and didn't say anything else..."

Mrs. Lu was dubious: "She was very anxious the past few days. She looked for you everywhere but didn't say anything?"

Xu Buling thought for a moment, then chuckled and said: "The Queen Mother has been bored in the palace for a long time, and she just wants to find someone to chat with... It's just that I don't have much contact with the Queen Mother, and there is nothing to say. Alas. ~In fact, it is quite pitiful for a woman to be locked in a deep palace for her whole life..."

Because Mrs. Lu was also a widow, although she often had quarrels with the Queen Mother, she sympathized with the Queen Mother's experiences. After hearing this, he thought about it and sighed quietly:

"Her life is worse than mine. When I stay at Xiao's house, I can always go out to relax. Whenever she goes out, there will be a lot of people following her. She used to be a unruly character, but she has been hardened into what she is now. ...I feel like she is suppressing her illness.”

He said the last sentence in a low voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

Xu Buring chuckled: "I think the Queen Mother is very dignified and dignified. What was the Queen Mother like before?"

Mrs. Lu thought about it for a moment: "What else could it be like? She was born noble and has an arrogant temper. She is similar to those little princesses from the official family. They have basically never suffered any hardships. They get angry and act coquettishly when they don't get what they like. It's not like that at all. sensible."

Xu Buling took note of it carefully and nodded: "Really? What did the Queen Mother like before?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head: "Poetry, songs, and prose, all the ladies from wealthy families like these... Oh, yes, she also likes those strange objects, such as the seven-piece box and the nine-linked ring. These are children's toys, and girls shouldn't touch them. But she made a lot of them, and now she has them in the bedroom, making it look like a warehouse..."

Xu Buling seemed to have some understanding: "Maybe it has something to do with the family style of the Xiao family. I see that the queen mother has no appetite and seems to have nothing to eat. The dishes cooked in the kitchen are not as delicious as those made by Aunt Lu. Does the queen mother not like to eat or has no appetite?"

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, with a little pride in her eyes:

"She is upset after being in the palace for a long time and has no appetite. That's all. I'm still greedy. There's an old shop selling preserved fruits in Dayefang. Qiao'e would buy some every time she went out of the palace..."

"The rouge and powder used by the Queen Mother don't seem to be suitable. Although they are expensive, their temperament is far inferior to Aunt Lu. Is she not very good at dressing up?"

"Tsk~ She didn't pay attention to this when she was a child. She always asked the maids to help her. She doesn't have good eyesight. She has a pretty face... In my opinion, she should use 'Camellia Fat', the color is more suitable. 'Red Orchid Honey' is too bright and looks old, not solemn enough..."

"...Aunt Lu still knows more..."

Mumbling, under Mrs. Lu's tireless and caring teaching, Xu Buling finally had some direction to start...
