The prince is very fierce

Seven days later.

Xu Buling walked out of the Imperial Academy and whistled. A black horse with snow hooves that was over shoulder height trotted out of the stable and stopped in front of the dismounting monument on Qingshi Long Street.

The horse is the "Zhuifengxueho" produced in Mobei. There are 100,000 cavalrymen in the Xiliang army under King Su, and all the horses come from Mobei. A hundred good horses will produce a snow hoof, and a hundred good snow hoofs will produce a chasing wind. The price is comparable to the same weight of gold, and it is difficult to buy it with money. There are only two in Chang'an, and the other one is the emperor's car.

Xu Bu Ling got on his horse and galloped towards Prince Su's Mansion on Kuishou Street in Changlefang. Princes and generals were all living around the imperial city. There were heavy guards outside each mansion, but there were not many pedestrians.

After about a cup of tea, I passed the three octagonal archways on Kuishou Street and saw a small sedan parked outside Prince Su's Mansion in the distance. A dignified maid stood at the door holding an umbrella, waiting respectfully.

She is Mrs. Lu's personal maid.

Xu Bu Ling had a headache, reined in his horse, and was about to turn around and go back to the Imperial College to spend the night, when a crisp voice came from behind:

"Little prince!"

Xu Buling sighed, and could only step lightly on the horse's belly through the long snow-covered street, walked up to the maid, and asked, knowingly:

"Yue Nu, why did you come here?"

Yue Nu bowed like water and said in a soft voice:

"Your Highness, my wife has been waiting for you at home for three days, but you haven't come over. She thought something had happened to you, so she asked your maid to come over and take a look."

Xu Buling nodded slightly, turned the horse's head and headed towards Mrs. Lu's residence.

The three octagonal archways at the entrance of the street were given to the Xiao, Lu and Xu families.

The Xiao family in Huainan is one of the powerful families in Dayue. The Central Plains has changed dynasties three times, but the Xiao family has remained standing and has been the prime minister for generations. The Lu family in Jinling is also a well-established family, and their house in the capital is right across from the Xiao family. The Xu family broke the earth and sealed the title of king just six years ago. When it comes to the background of the three families, the differences are still quite big.

When Mrs. Lu was young, she was promised to a young talent from the Xiao family. Unfortunately, her husband died young and she became a widow.

The aristocratic family values ​​etiquette. As a descendant of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu naturally abides by her integrity and cannot remarry. Her reputation has been excellent over the years. She is used to living in the capital and does not want to go to Huainan. She has been living in Jinghua Garden near Xiao Mansion.

Xu Buling got off his horse outside Jinghua Garden and asked the guards to wait outside. Then he entered the garden in a well-dressed and familiar manner and arrived at the other courtyard by the lake.

The cold wind was blowing, and the exotic flowers and trees in the garden had already withered and were covered with a thin layer of snow.

The elegant courtyard is not big, and it is built next to the lake. It is a place to enjoy the cool air in summer. Mrs. Lu likes to be quiet, so she has been living here, leaving only a few maids to serve her.

The green tiles on the white wall are covered with snow foam, and red lanterns are hung outside the courtyard gate swaying in the wind.

Xu Buling walked slowly outside the courtyard. The courtyard door was open, and the maid was walking back and forth, holding a basin in her hand, braving the snow-white mist in the severe cold of winter.

Hua Hua Hua——

The sound of water splashing could be heard.

Xu Buling hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the stone pavilion outside the courtyard, but the maid inside had already seen him, walked over in a hurry and said respectfully:

"My lord, my wife is taking a bath, please wait a moment."

"good."

Xu Buling tightened the snow-white fox fur around his body and stood quietly outside the yard waiting.

But soon, after the maid went in to report, a slightly annoyed voice came from the small courtyard, very serious:

"No, you come in."

"...?"

Xu Bu Ling folded his sleeves and looked at the white snow in the gorgeous garden, as if he had never heard of it.

Tread——

The maid trotted over with a slightly strange expression. She secretly glanced at the unparalleledly handsome Crown Prince and whispered:

"Young prince, my wife has asked you to come in~"

"(⊙_⊙)!"

Xu Buling frowned slightly, feeling that Mrs. Lu was a bit of a joke. Although he was physically 17 or 18 years old, his mind had already matured, and he was not too young at 17 or 18 years old.

"Come in! Don't you even listen to me?"

Mrs. Lu's voice sounded slightly annoyed, and she seemed to have splashed the water with her hand.

Xu Buling gritted his teeth and entered the other courtyard. The west wing was dimly lit, and the profile of a woman was reflected on the window paper, with graceful curves and concave and convex shapes, and a maid was walking among them.

Xu Bu Ling looked away, stopped outside the window, and chuckled:

"Aunt Lu, I'm just waiting outside. You go to work first."

"You'll run away again later. I asked you to come over. You'd better pretend not to hear. Do you think I'm being verbose?"

Hua Hua Hua——

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, turned his back to the window, and thought for a while:

"Aunt Lu is worrying too much, um... it's a bit of a personal matter..."

There were constant clattering in the room, and there was a little silence before he sighed softly, with a bit of resentment:

"Forget it, I won't question you, just pay attention to yourself. You beat Xiao Ting a few days ago..."

"I know I was wrong."

"I didn't say you were wrong. Good fight. Xiao Ting has been slick and bully all day long. He doesn't look like a man at all. If he hadn't been my brother-in-law, I would have dealt with him long ago."

"Hmm...Okay, I'll try harder next time."

"Xiao Ting ran to the palace to complain, and the Queen Mother asked me to discipline you. Hmm~ How can I be willing to discipline you? It's too late to hurt you, and I want to hold you in my mouth...

...Sigh~ It’s a pity that you have grown up and don’t like people to control you. I also feel that I am verbose..."

As he spoke, a bit of resentment arose.

Xu Buling took a breath, calmly, and said with a smile like a junior:

"How could it be? I like Aunt Lu the most, and others don't pay attention to her at all."

"...duplicity..."

The tone finally became gentler, and the sound of rushing water sounded, as if someone was coming out of the bathtub. The rustling sounds continued, and the voice of instructions sounded:

"I'm not calling you here to train you. An assassin has come to the capital. He is very skilled in martial arts. Zhang Xiang, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, was almost assassinated. Ten years ago, the Criminal Investigation Department wiped out the Jianghu people, leaving many remnants in the Jianghu. Your father has also sent troops to wipe out the Jianghu people, and he may also take action against you, so be careful these days."

Xu Buling nodded slightly: "I know."

"Also, what's going on with the illegal salt case?"

Xu Buling knew he would say this and said helplessly:

"I happened to be passing by and just gave me a helping hand."

"Just give me a hand and help build your reputation as a great master of Qingtian. Do you think your reputation is not good enough?"

Xu Buling was filled with guilt and speechless.

"...That's all. The matter has been revealed. It's useless to say more. I have asked the Royal Forest Army to suppress the matter. Be careful in the future... Also, how old are you? You have more than a hundred lives in your hands. You will not be allowed to lose your life in the future. Killed."

"Haha, I know."

"Don't just know, do things. Doing ridiculous things is not good deeds."

The door to the west wing opened, and Mrs. Lu came out wearing a thin shirt and a shawl. Her hair was wet and spread on her back. Her cheeks were a little rosy and graceful, like the gorgeous peonies blooming in the wind and snow.

The weather was very cold in winter. She had just taken a shower and walked out of the warm house. When the cold wind blew, Mrs. Lu frowned and shrank her neck slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Buling untied the white fox fur from his body and stepped forward to put it on her shoulders. He was half a head taller than Mrs. Lu, and his fox fur was a bit too big, so he was covered tightly.

Mrs. Lu tightened the fox fur around her body. The warm warmth dissipated the cold air around her body, and her face looked much better. She became more dignified, tilted her head and looked at Xu Buling, who was only wearing a white robe: "Don't catch a cold, let's go in the house." She turned around and walked towards the boudoir.

Xu Bu Ling thought for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the house.

The boudoir in the other courtyard is not big. There is a piano table, a painting table, a soft couch and a sea of ​​tea. Behind the bead curtain is an embroidered bed. It is small and exquisite, and is very warm with a heater.

After closing the door, Xu Buling looked around, sat down by the sea of ​​tea, and expertly brewed Long Tuan Shengxue from South Vietnam.

Mrs. Lu took off her fox fur and sat down next to the soft couch wearing only a thin green skirt. There were bronze mirrors, combs, and jewelry next to her. She was about to pick up the comb when she suddenly frowned slightly and picked up the snow-white fox fur. , came closer and smelled it, his expression gradually became serious.

Xu Buling fiddled with the tea set and looked a little confused: "What's wrong, Aunt Lu?"

Mrs. Lu held Hu Qiu in her arms, brought it to the tip of her nose and smelled it carefully: "'Yue Gonggui' from Xianzhizhai, the fragrant powder from my daughter's house..."

"..."

Xu Bu Ling's hand movements froze. In the past few days, Song Yufu has often been threatened by being lifted high and thrown out of the bell tower. He just picked it up with his hands. Can he still smell it?

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips slightly and stared at Xu Buling seriously with her almond-shaped eyes: "The fragrance of Yuegong cinnamon is very weak and the price is expensive. Generally, only official ladies from scholarly families will use it... Who is this girl?"

Xu Bu Ling poured tea by himself, looking a little helpless: "Aunt Lu, you still don't believe me? I just accidentally bumped into a female student from Wenquyuan, and I didn't go out to mess around."

"What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lu's expression was serious, obviously a little angry, and she sat up straighter: "As the prince of the vassal, how can I stop you from finding a woman? If you want a woman, just tell me what kind of woman I want." I can find them all for you..." After saying that, he turned around and called:

"Moon slave."

"exist."

Yue Nu, who rushed back, entered the room respectfully and nodded slightly.

"Send the Crown Prince down to rest. You will stay with me tonight, and you will follow the Crown Prince from now on."

"promise."

Yue Nu bowed and bowed, walked slowly to Xu Buling, and reached out to help him.

Xu Bu Ling's scalp was numb. If Mrs. Lu was asked to plant a spy to get along with her day and night, she would never be able to do anything serious in the future. He raised his hand and said:

"That's all, I don't blame Aunt Lu. It's really just that I bumped into her accidentally and I don't like the girl."

Mrs. Lu looked at it carefully for a long time. When she saw that Xu Buling was not lying, she sighed quietly:

"No, I'm not stopping you from finding a woman. You are still young, and your long hair is a disaster for the country and the people. You are in a high position. As long as there is a woman in the world, there is no one who would not want to stick to you... As the saying goes, 'the most poisonous woman's heart', in order to seduce you , those women outside can do anything. If you are inexperienced and accidentally deceived, you will not only harm yourself. You will be the king of princes in the future. The allusion of "playing with war princes" and "King Zhou of Shang", don't you Have you heard of it?”

"I know, take this as a warning."

Xu Buling chuckled, poured a cup of tea, walked over, and handed it to Mrs. Lu:

"Aunt Lu, drink tea and calm down."

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, raised her hand to take the tea cup, blew on it gently, took a sip, sat sideways and tilted her head, still feeling a little resentful.

Xu Buling thought for a while, raised his hand and saluted: "Well... there is a chess game at Longyin Pavilion in Dayefang today. I will go over and place a bet, so I won't disturb Aunt Lu."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu put down the tea cup, picked up the fox fur, put it on his back, then walked around to the front and tied the lanyard in front of his collar:

"It's natural for young people to be pushy, but your position is too high. It won't harm you if you hide your shame and self-destruction. King Su has too much military power, and there are rumors in the market that 'the vassal king plans to unify'. The Holy One must have some ideas...

…Nowadays, there are secret rumors in the civil and military circles of the dynasty that ‘the Holy Emperor wants to reduce the vassal state’. Whether it is true or false, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be too prominent to attract jealousy. "

Xu Buling smiled softly: "I know."

Mrs. Lu patted his lapel and said, "It's not easy for you to taint yourself? Those old scholars in the Literary Society love to be more serious. Buying poems, copying poems and other 'plagiarism' behaviors are the most shameful to literati...

... Go buy a good poem, especially the kind that you cannot write based on your experience. In a few days, the dragon chant poem will shine on it, and those rotten scholars will definitely hunt you down. If you get angry and insist that you wrote it yourself, your reputation will naturally be tarnished..."

Xu Bu Ling's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.

As a time-traveler, it would definitely not work to ask him to write poetry. Asking him to copy a good poem that he couldn't write and scold him would not be easy.

He was only eighteen years old, and when he came up with the sentence "I'm chatting like a teenager, holding the yellow on my left hand, and holding the blue sky on my right", I could tell with the lower half of my head that it was copied.

Xu Buling nodded, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lu, I will definitely let them scold me bloody this time."

Mrs. Lu snorted: "Don't mess up again. If you are both civil and military, I'm afraid no one will be wary of you." She arranged Xu Buling's clothes, looked up and down carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Go... Don’t drink flower wine.”

Xu Buling was full of confidence, turned around and left the other courtyard quickly...
